As Valentine's day approaches, Clare Finney argues that cooking for one, on this or any other day, should be a pleasure to be savoured, not a depressing, functional chore
"But I like beans on toast!" I would insist to anyone who questioned why I couldn't be bothered to cook for myself. It wasn't a lie: I did, and still do, love the comforting mush of beans and sauce, sunk heavily into a bed of bread and covered in a blanket of cheese. I still make it on cold, wet days or mornings after the nights before, when leaving the house is just unimaginable. Back then, though, I lived on it. While I longed for an excuse to open my virginal Ottolenghi, there seemed little point to it. The joy of cooking came in cooking for others. Cooking for oneself, I would remind myself after half an hour's drooling over recipes bursting with blistering aubergines, was an extravagant waste of time.
My epiphany was a gradual one. It started with Nigel Slater and Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch, his hefty first volume of vegetable recipes. Even the title, with its Olde England echoes of rambling allotments and men in wellington boots, spoke of a solitude more physically and mentally nourishing than anything I'd ever allowed myself. Tender were the peas, broad beans and papery courgette flowers blossoming in Nigel's garden, but tender too was the cook who shelled, podded or stuffed them with goat's curd, creating dishes to lighten the heart of even the most date-weary singleton, alone on Valentine's day for the 987th year in a row.
Tender is not a 'single person's cookbook'—perish the thought, frankly—but the recipes are reliable and demand little in the way of skill or ingredients. All Nigel asks is that you appreciate your produce—"the beauty of a single lettuce, its inner leaves tight and crisp, the outer ones opened up like those of a cottage garden rose" or the "rough feel of a runner bean between the fingers"—and that you engage with their transformation into creamy soups and frittatas, pert salads and scones.
Joy in creating and eating
"Bake until soft and squishy," dictates one instruction in a recipe for baked finger aubergines, yoghurt and cucumber. After grating, "squeeze the cucumber dry in the palm of your hand". Nigel engages all senses, in the most seductive way possible—cauliflower cheese bubbles "languidly", cooked pumpkin is "fragrant, tender, on the verge of collapse"—and he writes with a view to eating as opposed to feeding, in a way that's peculiarly personal. "As you eat, press the soft garlic from its skin," is the instruction with which he concludes his roast potato salad with garlic. "Eat it hot and spluttering from the pan," he injuncts in a recipe for prawns, leaves and limes. In his recipes, the pleasures of food start with the cooking; the instructions and the anticipated enjoyment are entwined together within every sentence. The joy is in creating and eating, he teaches—not in serving others or meeting your own needs as efficiently as you can.
While Nigel has long been loved for his multisensory descriptions, no food writer has made them as explicit as Sybil Kapoor has in her latest book, Sight Smell Touch Taste Sound: A New Way to Cook, which brings senses to the forefront. "I realised that the simple act of focusing on each element of a dish—taste, flavour, texture, temperature and sound—heightened my pleasure," she explains. "Even if I was tired and throwing a quick supper for one together, I found that I was really enjoying eating, say, blackened salmon with a pineapple salsa, because I was aware of the play between the hot salmon and the cool but chilli-hot pineapple."
Being a food writer, Sybil loves "every aspect of cooking: from choosing a beautiful ingredient such as the pink stems of forced rhubarb for a rhubarb rosewater jelly, to the texture of something in my mouth; for example, the different textures in a crispy duck, mint and noodle salad." So powerfully did her book redefine my experience of food—the shopping, the cooking, the eating, hell, even the washing up—I almost felt mournful for all the times in my life I'd not cooked, or cooked unconsciously. For the hours of potential sensory enjoyment I'd had without knowing, or not had at all.
Instant gratification
Back in my beans on toast days, whenever I was lamenting having no one with whom to enjoy cured gurnard with cucumber oil, couples suggested batch cooking. "Big one-pots, which you can freeze!" they said brightly—rarely considering that, with limited freezer space, that spelled the same lunch and dinner several days in a row. Sybil has a different take: "The key is to divide the types of dishes you cook between instant gratification suppers like honey chilli chicken and dishes that might take longer to cook but can be dipped into throughout the week," she tells me, citing as examples her luscious chocolate nori ice cream and rich beef stew.
It's an approach reflected in Borough Market, amid an eclectic mix of traders who, like all of us, occasionally cook solo. Lida Papamatthaiaki of Oliveology finds she often prefers it. "Even though I thoroughly enjoy sharing meals with family and friends, I think dining solo is the best way for me to fully appreciate what's on my plate," she says. This Valentine's Day she'll be having soft poached eggs on a saffron-dressed salad with endives, radicchio and small beans, using Oliveology's saffron and olive oil. "While I'm preparing my meal, I love having spiced honeyed almonds and a glass of red wine, a robust xinomavro." It's a warm-up act that to the old me would have seemed absurdly luxurious—why waste good wine on yourself?—but that I now recognise forms part of a positive, nourishing ritual rather than that deeply depressing mantra, 'just filling a hole'.
Honouring oneself
The point is to take time to enjoy what you love, regardless of other people. A newly qualified psychotherapist and a stalwart at Olivier's Bakery, Stefan King has been "slowly discovering that the philosophy of honouring oneself is an essential element in any therapeutic endeavour—not in the form of narcissistic aggrandisement, but in terms of taking the time to honour our relationship to 'the self'."
Stefan's birthday is on Valentine's Day, "so I have the excuse of celebrating and nourishing myself even and despite being a poor singleton," he jokes. For him, that means colourful, fresh, simple ingredients—and of course a few birthday pints in the pub with friends.
Stefan and Lida are right. We should look after ourselves. We should learn to dine solo, whatever our relationship status. After all, Stefan adds, "any added romance we may enjoy on Valentine's Day is ultimately born out of the effort we put into our relationship to ourselves on the other 364 days of the year."

Formula One World Drivers' Champion
Wins: 11 (matches career high)
Podiums: 17 (matches career high and the F1 record)
Poles: 11
Fastest laps: 3
Lewis Hamilton climbed higher up the Formula One record books during the 2018 season, becoming just the third driver in the sport's history to win five World Championships. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport driver matched Juan Manuel Fangio's five titles, with only Michael Schumacher's record of seven still in front of him.
Hamilton wrapped up that fifth Drivers' title – his second straight crown and his fourth in five years – at the Mexican Grand Prix before helping clinch the Constructors' Championship for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport in Brazil two weeks later.
Hamilton claimed 11 victories in 2018, giving him 51 wins in the last 100 Formula One races. The 33-year scored 17 podiums in the 21 Grands Prix, five more podiums than any other driver this year, to become the first racer to tally 400 points in a single season.

Trendspotting: The Rise of Pie
While cupcakes are still hot commodities (ahem, the Denver Cupcake Truck), we're turning our sights to the next trend in pastry: pie. This homey treat is gaining traction across the country–and Denver is no exception. Note the recent bake-off between Marczyk Fine Foods and WaterCourse Foods; the full displays of flaky crusted pies at bakeries such as Cake, Mermaids, and Living the Sweet Life; and individual slices of apple pie at Bang!, pecan at the Q Worldly Barbeque, and banana "crème brûlée" at Root Down. Bonus: Keegan Gerhard and Lisa Bailey of D Bar Desserts are steadily working toward opening up a pie shop. And we look forward to tasting the apple pie from Showboat's Drive by Pie in Granby–the news of which has trickled down the hill. Mark our words: Pie is the next cupcake.
Reported by John Lehndorff:
The thing that caught my eye was the crowd of language (English and French) on the package of Lay's Ketchup Potato Chips I found in Canada. In particular: "Simulated Flavour/ Saveur Simulee." And the taste: Initially the buds are smashed with tartness followed by traditional chip crunch and then a faded memory of tomato, too sweet and too salty. It tasted like the cheap generic ketchup in the squeeze packs at convenience stores, only not as good. However, having mindlessly consumed too many of these chips as research, I can report a strong craving for an ice-cold Molson.
A sign of the times reported by American Business Journals:
Papa John's Pizza has sold more than $2 billion in food online since activating its Web-based ordering feature in 2001. Recent website improvements including a Spanish-language version and a mobile app have helped ramp up online sales, the company says.
Kind words about this blog from the Denver Post:
"Lehndorff's food for thought: Former Rocky Mountain News food writer John Lehndorff is keeping close track of local and national trends on his blog, Nibbles (johnlehndorff.wordpress.com). He scours the trades and trend reports so you don't have to. Find out what we're eating, and what the rest of the country is eating, all through Lehndorff's winning perspective."

Training providers who are applying for must meet the following conditions:
- They offer a professional or general training, which contribute to increasing the competencies defined in the competence model of the Design Management Competence Centre.

Have you heard of "dazzling headlights"? We hadn't either until this press release but it apparently means when you drive with lights that blind other nearby drivers.
Now you know...
--Danielle Sanzone
ALBANY, NY – District Attorney P. David Soares announced that JORDAN YOUNG, 25, of Albany, was found guilty after a bench trial of (1) Count of Driving with Dazzling Headlights, a Traffic Infraction, before the Honorable Judge Helena Heath in Albany City Court on October 16, 2014.
On May 24, 2014, at approximately 1:43am, in the area of Morris and Knox Streets in the City of Albany, an Albany Police Officer observed a 1994 Honda vehicle driving with unauthorized dazzling headlights, also known as high beams. In addition, the officer observed rear and side windows of the vehicle to not be transparent. Based on these observations, the officer instructed the driver of the vehicle to pull over.
During the trial, testimony about YOUNG'S demeanor was presented, including the officer's observations of slurred speech, glassy eyes, the odor of alcoholic beverage, and the defendant's initial assertion that he had not been drinking. A video of the interaction was also presented at trial, which included YOUNG later admitting to drinking one beer, failing multiple field sobriety tests, and defendant's conduct during the entirety of the traffic stop, including when the defendant was asked to submit to a breath analysis. The video also shows YOUNG eating chicken during the traffic stop and delaying the administration of the field sobriety tests.
YOUNG was charged with (1) Count of Driving While Intoxicated, a Misdemeanor, and traffic infractions including a Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test, Side Window Not Transparent, Rear Window Not Transparent, Unauthorized Use of Color Headlights, and Driving with Dazzling Headlights.
The Judge acquitted YOUNG of the Driving While Intoxicated count, in addition to the traffic infractions of Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test, Side Window Not Transparent, Rear Window Not Transparent, and Unauthorized Use of Color Headlights. YOUNG was found guilty of Driving with Dazzling Headlights.
"It is not often that a defendant is acquitted of charges when we have video evidence at trial that includes footage of the traffic infractions and the defendant's conduct during the entirety of the traffic stop, including when the defendant was asked to submit to a breath analysis," commented DA David Soares.
YOUNG was sentenced to pay $50 in fines and surcharges after the verdict.
Assistant District Attorney Lee Wilson prosecuted this case.

I received my Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Social Work at Valparaiso University. I then went on to Indiana University to complete my Masters of Social Work degree
Yes, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the State of Indiana and the State of Florida
Over the years, I have worked with a variety of cases and family situations in both inpatient and out-patient settings. Through my internships and employment opportunities, I have helped individuals, at risk youth and adolescents, couples, parents, families, and more. I have worked on cases involving the local Department of Child Services and the court system. I am now in private practice in Valparaiso, IN, where I help with issues including anger, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar and other mood disorders, ADD, OCD, PTSD, domestic violence, trauma and abuse
Every situation is individual. That being the case, I use a variety of interventions in an effort to design the best possible treatment plan to fit your specific needs. I do tend to lean toward CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) developed by Dr. Aaron Beck, and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) developed by Marsha Linehan, as a base while incorporating other methods, including meditation and mindfulness, sand tray therapy, solution focused therapy, inner child work, family therapy, conflict resolution techniques, and a host of others. As I mentioned above, learning is my passion. I am continually seeking new ideas in an effort to help facilitate the healing process
I do specialize in grief, loss, self-harm, and suicidal behavior. I am a certified trainer of ASIST and SafeTALK, two suicide prevention trainings. Through these trainings, I help others learn how to assist someone who may be thinking of suicide. Click here for upcoming trainings.
Suicide is a community problem. Through collaborative efforts, it is my hope to create suicide safer communities everywhere
As a social worker, I come from a strong client-centered, "strength's based" perspective. What this means is that while I may have information to share, you truly are the wisdom behind your own needs toward healing. Deep within, you have the insight, it just may be locked underground due to a lifetime of hurts and wounds. I am merely a facilitator in the process of unlocking those strengths.
I believe in a more holistic approach where healing and peace come by addressing all aspects of a person ~ the social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. When any one of these areas is suffering, we suffer. By acknowledging all parts of us and working to bring them into balance, we grow stronger, happier, and healthier. Once that happens, amazing life changes occur

And so on Sunday (which was Palm Sunday) we said our final goodbyes to our wonderful curate, Father Michael Selby. He's left us to be the Vicar at St Paul's Ruislip Manor.

Take our word for it: one day, you have to redesign your website. The fact is, the commercial landscape is constantly shifting to meet the demands of more informed, tech-savvy consumers.
These customers won't be happy with websites that aren't optimized for mobile phones, cluttered content, and poorly made designs. If your website suffers from these things, a redesign is way overdue. A custom web design service provided by companies like Proweaver can help.
There is no magical solution to website redesign. It's not going to guarantee you instantaneous results, despite the number of companies that say so. A lot of factors dictate the success of a redesign.
It's different when you've done considerable research and testing before overhauling your site. Being well-prepared can make all the difference in the world in propelling your business forward.
Why Do You Need to Redesign Your Website?
You may have heard about companies redesigning their websites every three or so years. But when is the best time to do it? And is it be worth the trouble?
The answer to the second question is an emphatic "YES". Take a closer look at your current website and see if it's helping you achieve your goals.
When prospects land on your page, you want them to be satisfied enough with their experience to fill out a form, place an order, or subscribe to your newsletter. If your website isn't working this way, consider making some changes.
What to Do Before the Redesign Process?
The first thing you need to do is gather information on your current users' experience. Map everything out to know the specific areas that need focus. Then strategize, set priorities, and never straying from the main focus of your project (i.e. your users' needs). All these elements have to be balanced throughout the project.
Creating prototypes is a good way to start. Let users test your website and see if it meets their needs.
Keep in mind that it always ends with the users. They dictate your website's success or failure. Utilize all the data and feedback you have to mold the perfect website for them.
The Challenges Ahead
Redesigning is an incredibly delicate process where even slight alterations can affect compatibility with well-ranked pages. Try using these well-ranked pages as a basis.
Achieving consistency between your products is another challenge. Ensuring that your brand, products, and copy align with each other is easier said than done. Nonetheless, it is a huge factor to business success and should always be prioritized.
5 Reasons to Redesign Your Website
Here are key reasons that our custom web design experts give:
Effectively communicating brand values
Maybe your website isn't doing a good enough job of communicating your brand and vision to your target market. Focus on a design that tells a story your users will gravitate to. Every section of your website should be simple and easy to find, and well-integrated within your company's message. This is also key to developing a long-term relationship with your users. When people look at your website, they shouldn't see a tool to view products or place orders. They should see a helpful friend that provides valuable information. A website should add value to the lives of its visitors.
Improving website usability
When you own a store, it's always about presenting it in the best possible way to your customers. They should lay their eyes on it and feel drawn to get inside. Your website should have the same effect. Add features that make site navigation easier and more suitable for users. Provide useful and relevant information as well as newer and more convenient ways of getting in touch with you.
Boosting SEO and website performance
You don't need pages that are simply image-based, have poor-quality content, or lack inbound links. These things aren't going to do your business any good. Both users and search engines can tell. To solve this issue, start by analyzing high-performing pages and use them as springboards for new designs.
Improving the quality and volume of leads
Improving your website generates a greater number of better-quality leads. You can achieve this by expanding on the content that's already on your website. An excellent idea would be to reword content in various sections of your website and add new media into the mix. Start with explainer or tutorial videos, for example. At the end of the day, it all goes back to knowing buyer personas. This is your key to converting your visitors and increasing revenue.
Improving flexibility and usability for your marketing team
Adding new assets and rearranging page elements can impact site performance and boost conversion rates. However, it's important to keep in mind that your marketing team's skills are limited when it comes to content management processes. Oftentimes, they find themselves seeking help from developers. The back-end of your site may not be flexible enough to allow your marketing team to effectively manage content, especially when newer and more advanced features need to be introduced and tests have to be performed. So restructure your website to give your marketing full control, letting them build, manage, and test as many elements as they need.
Whatever the reasons for a redesign may be, look at them as opportunities to better serve your target audiences. Be innovative and find what works!

The Money Mirror
Take a moment to think about our ingrained training regarding money. People are "filthy rich" or loaded with "dirty money." Those who don't get business degrees are doomed to become "starving arists", but everybody better get to work anyway because "time is money." Money is unnatural because "it doesn't grow on trees" and it's alright to struggle financially because, after all, money can't you love or happiness. Besides, everyone knows, "money is the root of all evil."
These issues are rarely directly addresses when designers discuss pricing, but our ambiguous emotions regarding money certainly play a part. As an industry we frequently undercharge because:
- We based our prices on our perceived competitive set…and they're already undercharging
- We are fearful that a lack of credentials mean we can't charge as much as some one who has [check any that apply] ___ been in business longer ___ more training ___ an office/studio/retail location ___ other
- We're afraid of looking greedy/aggressive/"snooty"/"out-of-touch"/etc.
Our attitude toward making money from our skills, talents and abilities is a reflection of ourselves. It's a mirror of our self-worth; and as solo or small practitioners our inability to look into that mirror and see the results accurately often sabotages our best efforts to grow our business.
What does your money mirror say to you?

Leaked Titans Image Confirms Nightwing and Starfire Costumes Were Supposed to Debut Last Year
Titans' latest season is in the books and fans are already busy dissecting the big finale. But, there are more images coming to light that focus on how the planning for this series has veered all over the place since the beginning. A photo posted to Facebook by UniversoDC shows the entire Titans team assembled together in costume. Now, that would be pretty normal except for the fact that Raven, Starfire, and Nightwing all have their new duds. The image is allegedly from one of the scrapped bits of the first season. Fans are understandably wondering what could have been if things had stuck with their original timeline on the streaming service. Titans showrunner Greg Walker and others have talked about these moments in the past and are satisfied with how things shook out. The show is on much more solid footing after Season 2 than following the first salvo of episodes. But, that will not stop those in the fandom who believe that the original plans would have been better than what reality provided. This group shot is pretty great to see for just the sheer wow factor of seeing most of the team present together. Although, the emotional payoff from the reveals probably benefitted from the extra time with the characters.
Nightwing himself has come into conversation a lot in the last few episodes of Season 2. Walker recently told EW about the journey toward this point in the story for Dick Grayson. It turns out a lot of the show's arc until these episodes were primed for the young hero to make this leap.
"Where we meet him in episode 1 of the show is, he's in exile from his dysfunctional relationship with Bruce Wayne [Iain Glen]," Walker explained. "He's really ambivalent about being Robin at all. At one point he burns the suit. So he has a real complicated relationship with the suit… We always felt that he needed to go on season 2 as this kind of journey of recognizing what mistakes he made in the past, assessing himself, trying to figure out his relationship with Bruce, and then evolving past Robin. Because if he's not Robin anymore, then who he is?"2comments
"The goal was always "to navigate a path towards Nightwing," Walker added. "It's a personal journey that he needs to go on. So he goes on this atonement journey in the last third of the season, trying to figure out who he is and what his relationship to heroism is and what his relationship is to the other Titans. That's what we were going for the whole time. We felt like we needed to think about it on a character level rather than having him show up and be like, 'Awesome suit, right?'"
Titans is currently streaming on DC Universe
Disclosure: ComicBook is owned by CBS Interactive, a division of ViacomCBS.

"When you begin to question your dream, awakening will not be far away." -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Sunday, November 14, 2004
Never title a post "Please Kill Me" because two days later you will fly over your handlebars and hit the pavement so hard with your chin and jaw and right side of your body that you dare not move for some time and must go to the emergency room. At the same time you are certain that a painting you are carrying home got caught in the front spokes, causing the accident. And all you can think of is, I hope the painting is OK.
You will hear someone say, "Are you OK?" And "Can you move?" And they will cover you with a thick towel because you are in shock. You notice something in your mouth and spit it out. It's a chunk of tooth. You look at it against the black of your glove. It's big. You notice blood on the glove, and feel the wetness on your chin. You spit out another piece of tooth, smaller. The nice lady says she will hold onto the big one for you and puts it in her own hand. They will try to help you get up a couple of times but the aperture starts to close and the nausea comes and your legs buckle and you must go into child's pose. And they will say, take some deep breaths. And can we call someone for you. It is then that you realize there is no one to call. And, do you want to go to the emergency room. And where do you live and we will take you home if you want. And we put your bike and bags in our car. And two men, one on each elbow will help you stand up. You don't see their faces. You think you are going to faint and / or vomit but do not. You show them the wound on your chin and they say it doesn't look like you need stitches. They give you a towel to dab it, and help you to the car and warn that it's a big step up. Your neck hurts and your head is at a weird angle and your vision isn't quite right and you can't think quite right either. They tell you you can take your helmet off. You start to faint again and put your head down. They want to know whom to call. If there's a friend, a neighbor, anyone. They take you to your house. Upon arrival you lift up your head and look at your building and the whole scene starts to get lighter and lighter until it's almost white and then the aperture starts to close again and you must put your head down. You cannot even think about the three flights of stairs, let alone whom to call.
I think I'm about to lose consciousness, you say. Maybe I should get looked at. Don't worry, they say, we will take you to the emergency room, and discuss whether to go to Weiss or Ravenswood or Swedish Covenant. And you think about your shitty insurance, and say you're not sure which one will accept you. And they say it will work at any emergency room, and head west. And the nice lady in back places a call to Addington, who's not home. What's your name? She asks, and you tell her. You give her some more numbers to dial and she asks who she's calling and you say Blaine. "Blaine X?" she asks. Yes, you say. Do you know Blaine X? Yes, I just called him myself. He's not at home, either.... And it turns out they are neighbors.
Around this point you start to feel a little less like you're about to lose it. And notice there are seven other people in the car, including three totally silent kids in back. Someone introduces all of them; the the husband, the wife, the husband's parents, the three boys. You start to feel better and it's agreed that they will bring you to their house. On the way there is still the question of whom to call. Your mind scrolls and scrolls but your parents are dead and the vexx is history and eveyrone has kids/ families/is busy or lives too far away. Holly? No. Deb? No. Marty? No. Dreyfus? No. They put your bike in their garage and carry your bags in for you (such a relief) and put your tooth fragment into a Ziplock with milk. And set you up on the couch and bring a glass of water and something to clean the wound. You wipe off some of the blood and show the gash to them and they say, in unison, "You need stitches." At some point, you're not sure when, you get your cell and call Add's moble and he picks up. He is in the middle of something but will call Enelle, who is in the neighborhood. The nice people do some research via 911 and decide to take you to Illinois Masonic and give you some ice wrapped in a red dish towel and fill up your water bottle. Enelle calls to say she can meet you at the ER. Singleton to the rescue. As you're leaving you learn that the nice lady's sister is someone you know, through yoga.
The nice man drives and talks to you on the way. He carries your bags into the hospital. A metal detector. They let you in despite your shitty insurance. He waits with you but there is not a huge wait. They want to know what happened and where, and if your teeth meet correctly. They are much nicer than the emergency vet and the place smells better, too. Eventually Enelle comes and the nice man leaves, saying you can get the bike when you want. You get his name and number as you are still *out of it* and can't remember any of their names.
In no time your name is called and you're placed on a bed and told to put on a gown. An intern does everything, very young. Not quite young enough to be your daughter, BUT. She looks at the blood on your hand and the bruises on your elbow and chest, makes inquires. She and the "real" doctor, who's about two years older than her, are all very interested in whether your jaw is closing correctly. No one can see the chipped molar in back so you don't know whether the root is involved or not. Enelle holds your hand as the intern jabs in more and more and more and more and more pricks of novacaine or whatever. You feel a lot of dripping from the shots. At the same time it is nice to lie on your back, having your hand held while you stare at the dirty spot on the light fixture. It is a relief to do nothing. And the pain is dwindling with more shots. She tells you each time she's finished a stitch. After the stitches go in you feel much better. Especially after the doctor laughs at your joke about no hair growing on that part of your chin when you get older. Then it's time to go. They don't give you a bill, which is scary. Enelle drives you home and puts up the blinds that were soaking in the tub. While drinking tea with Enelle the nice lady who rescued you calls and asks if you're OK. You are floored. People are good.
But now you want to pack a suitcase and move in with them.

- Artist:
- Lucid Structure
- Album:
- We Were Never Here
- Release year:
- 2018
- Label:
- Self-released
From the first moment on We Were Never Here, it is clear this album creates its own world with its own rules of time and space. In an instant you slow down, give into the new tempo of your life commanded by the meditative ambient music. The small universe in your head is your home for the next hour. Lucid Structure is conducting an orchestra of synthesizers and organic instruments and the music is directing your feeling for time and space.
Lucid Structure was influenced by ambient music artists such as Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and Vangelis. It is also noticeable that Lucid Structure is very familiar with classical music due to his father who was, among other things, a conductor. For instance, the track "Like Ships in the Night" begins with a marimbaphone and a soft and simple beat created with drum brushes accompanied by strings in the low-end region. Yet soon the natural sounds shift into the unnatural. Dark, suspenseful and hectic electric sounds emerge. "Like Ships in the Night" uses similar musical themes as the Stranger Things series introduction; with synthesized broken chords in continuously flowing 16th notes causing turmoil. Even the distorted synth-bass is reminiscent of the shows soundtrack.
The subconscious connection to Stranger Things might be why, during my first listen, I thought the album could be the soundtrack to an epic, deeply philosophical, sci-fi movie. This impression is not so far off. Then, outer space is the setting in the music video of "Together We Breath" showing pictures taken from a space probe floating above Earth. The dynamic volume of each sound adds the element of space, not outer space, to Lucid Structure's music. A sound can sneak up from afar, as if it were approaching the listener on an open field, without him/her noticing and so creating a subtle surprise, before fading slowly. Yet sounds also appear immediately, impossible to overhear, ripping you from your chain of thought.
In the second half of the album, with tracks like "Rapid Eyes" you get totally lost in clouds of sound, from this point on, rhythms are used sparsely. The music becomes dreamlike and calm. There is no build up and there is no way to anticipate the ending or changes in the tracks. The sound design becomes the main event of the overlapping and morphing spherical tones. "In the Room" brings disturbance to the peacefulness with unidentifiable rattles and sharp high end, almost tinnitus resembling whistles, combined with unstructured dissonant piano chords. Only at the very end of the album does the music return to using a fast, clear beat and thus returns to the real time of the world.

Some of us can probably remember when the "WWJD" bracelets were a big thing. The idea was to wear a bracelet that would hopefully remind us in difficult situations to emulate Jesus in the situation. I'm not sure how effective they were for those that chose to wear the jewelry, but the idea is commendable.
We should seek to emulate Jesus at all times. Our lives should be a continuous striving to be less like our sinful selves and more like our Savior Jesus.
There are certain things, however, we don't need to ask "What would Jesus do?" We have the gospels, so there are some things we already know what Jesus did. To be like Christ, we simply need to follow His example, not make conjecture as to what He would do in that context.
Two of the things we know already how Jesus did are evangelism and disciple-making. We can look at His example and build a philosophy of both from the way Jesus did them. We can see the way Jesus interacted with those He was discipling and the lost and we can increase our effectiveness simply by following His example.
Yet in many cases we do the exact opposite of what Jesus did. We were told to be in the world but not of it, but because we lack self control and would rather practice complete abstinence instead of moderation, we have removed ourselves from the world and decided not to be in OR of it. Except, in that act we become more like the world than we realize; selfish, self-centered, and disobedient to God.
Jesus made a habit of drawing the undesirables:
Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them!"Luke 15:1-2 (NLT)
There is a reason tax collectors and "other notorious sinners" sought out Jesus. It's because he didn't spend all His time and energy condemning and spewing hatred at them. Jesus chose, instead, to befriend and show love to these notorious sinners.
The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, 'He's a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!' But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it."Luke 7:34-35 (NLT)
This type of evangelistic philosophy even caused John the Baptist to question if Jesus was the Messiah because of the radical change it was from how they had always lived. One who was important or holy did not associate with those of lesser class or of a sinful lifestyle.
Yet Jesus showed us the light is never afraid of the darkness. Light never flees when darkness is presented. The opposite is true. Darkness flees in the presence of light.
Some of us would struggle to remember the last time we befriended a "notorious sinner." Some of us have worn, with pride, the badge of honor that says we NEVER associate with undesirables. Some of us are fine with being completely ineffective for the kingdom.
Who is God calling you to befriend? What notorious sinner is God calling you to love? Where is an area of darkness the Holy Spirit is calling you to enter and illuminate as the Light of the World?
Don't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come…

Film information
Story: Horror from director Robert Zemeckis. What begins as a weekend getaway for six friends becomes a terrifying fight for their lives. A road trip to one of the biggest college football games of the year takes a turn for the worse for Carly (Elisha Cuthbert), Paige (Paris Hilton) and their friends when they decide to camp out for the night before heading to the game. A confrontation with a mysterious trucker at the camp site leaves everyone unsettled, and Carly has her hands full trying to keep the peace between her boyfriend Wade (Jared Padalecki) and her hot-headed brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray). They wake up the next morning to find that their car might have been deliberately tampered with. At the risk of being stranded, they accept a local's invitation for a ride into Ambrose, the only town for miles. Once there, they are drawn to Ambrose's main attraction - Trudy's House of Wax, which is filled with remarkably life-like wax sculptures. But as they soon discover, there is a shocking reason the exhibits look so real. As the friends uncover the town's dark secrets, they are stalked by a mysterious killer and find themselves in a bloody battle for survival. The group must find a way out of Ambrose - or become permanent additions to the House Of Wax.

Positron Emission Tomography is an imaging technique for observing metabolic processes in the body; a CT x-ray scan helps provide 3D imaging. Topics include: the development of PET, radiotracers, and the image process.
Minimized radiation doses is one benefit of PET scans; PET can be used for diagnostics and therapy response assessment. Topics include: radiotracers, attenuation correction, 2D/3D reconstruction, time of flight PET, current applications, and additional applications.
PET scans are often read in combination with CT or MRI scans; PET is most useful when combined with anatomical imaging. Topics include: FDG, oncological imaging, imaging procedures, image sets, equipment cost, and the future of PET.

The name Gauteng comes from the Sesotho word meaning "Place of Gold", the historical Sesotho name for Johannesburg and surrounding areas. This referred to the thriving gold industry in the province following the 1886 discovery of gold in Johannesburg.
This pronunciation is natural in both the Sesotho and Afrikaans languages.Gauteng, formerly known as Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging (PWV), was carved out of the old Transvaal province in 1994, although the terminology "PWV", describing the region existed long before that. Tokyo Sexwale was elected as the first premier of the province that same year.
While Johannesburg is not one of South Africa's three capital cities, it is the seat of the Constitutional Court, which has the final word on interpretation of South Africa's new post-Apartheid constitution. The city is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills.
A broader definition of the Johannesburg metropolitan area, including Ekurhuleni, the West Rand, Soweto and Lenasia, has a population of 10,267,700. The municipal city's land area of 1,645 km (635 sq mi) is very large when compared to other cities, resulting in a moderate population density .
Another explanation is that the whiteness comes from the quartzite rock, which has a particular sheen to it after rain.
It is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the executive administrative and de facto national capital; the others are Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Pretoria is contained within the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality as one of several constituent former administrations among which also Centurion and Soshanguve.
Pretoria itself is sometimes referred to as "Tshwane" due to a long-running and controversial proposed change of name, which has yet to decided as of 2012.The city's original name was Pretoria Philadelphia ( Pretoria of brotherly love ), It gave its name to the Pax Praetoriana, referring to the country's relative stability.Pretoria in South Africa is popularly known as The Jacaranda City due to the thousands of Jacaranda trees planted in its streets, parks and gardens.
The founding of Pretoria as the capital of the South African Republic can be seen as marking the end of the Boers' settlement movements of the Great Trek.Johannesburg is home to some of Africa's tallest structures, such as the Sentech Tower, Hillbrow Tower and the Carlton Centre. The Johannesburg city skyline has most of the tallest buildings on the continent and contains most international organisations such as IBM, Absa, BHP Billiton, Willis Group, First National Bank, Nedbank and Standard Bank. Many of the city's older buildings have been pulled down and more modern ones built in their place.

Pumpkin Pie – this one's my favourite!
With a 90% rating and more than 500 votes on urbanspoon, how can you resist not visiting the Pie Tin? We have actually been here a couple of times, and get lost trying to find it every time. I think it's the maps on our phones not directing us correctly, or our inability to read a map. Unsure. For those of you more geographically-abled, please let us know the easy way of getting there since we love it so much! The Pie Tin is located on 1A Brown Street in Newtown (just off King Street).
The Pie Tin is a small corner shop, with an industrial, New York-Soho vibe on the inside. Only seating about 20-25 people at a time, the inside features brick walls, a large communal table, and high black stools situated in the middle of the floor, and four or five wooden single tables in the corner with metal seats.
Date & Walnut Butterscotch Rustic
Oreo Cookie Pie
Preferring sweet over savoury, we went straight for the sweet. However the Pie Tin offers a great range of both sweet and savoury pies and we recommend going on an empty stomach so you can experience the best of both worlds. Pies that caught our fancy were the slow roasted beef brisket pie with hickory smoke and mushrooms, the Sunday lamb roast pie with kipfler potato, pumpkin and mint gravy, or the tender steak pie with cheese and smokey bacon.
The Art of Pie!

We spent our Christmas here in Chiang Mai and fascinated with the beauty of the place. We plan 1month ahead before heading to Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai via an agency that we knew. We were lucky to have a discount as we booked our ticket at 12go.asia back and forth. I know everyone is not in favor of riding a bus to Chiang Mai and prefer plane instead, though we are enjoying the ride—if you are as well. Cheaper! So here's a guide for you.
Here's how to get to Chiang Mai by Bus, Train, and Flight:
>Book your ticket online or in Mo Chit Bus Terminal (Chatuchak) directly.
>Remember that peak season is between November and early April, better to book your ticket ahead of time.
>the nearest BTS Station is Mo Chit, from there you can ride a taxi for about 10min…

When the Resurrection Hurts
I know...that title just sounds totally wrong doesn't it?
I mean, how can the greatest, most glorious event in the history of the world hurt? The resurrection is the hope of the world - our only hope. It is life conquering death. It is light shattering darkness. It is the truest truth of the world...the heartbeat of creation.
Because of the Resurrection, we we have hope, light, truth, eternity, forgiveness, joy, breath in our lungs. It's everything. Absolutely and Amen.
So then, how could it hurt, right?
Because we're humans in a fallen world, that's why.
Two years ago was our first Easter without my Mom. That day, I was clinging to the hope of the resurrection. Clinging to the truth that life conquers death. Clinging to the reality that my Mom was in the glory of Heaven on that Easter Sunday, and trying to feel joyful in that truth.
But joy didn't come that day. The pain of that day was too much. The resurrection hurt that Easter Sunday because despite the truth that I really did (and do) rejoice in my Mom's resurrection, the truth is that I didn't want her to be in the glory of Heaven that day. I wanted her to be in my kitchen. I wanted her to show me how to bake a ham. I wanted her to be dying Easter Eggs with my kids. I wanted to hear her telling me, "Rebecca, I think you've eaten enough jelly beans!"
I want all those things today too, but the pain has lessened. The joy of resurrection is healing my heart. But oh that day hurt. I can't even look at our family Easter pictures from that day because I can feel my pain through the pictures.
On that Resurrection Day, by 3:00, when I should have been hiding eggs for my kids, I was in bed with the covers pulled over my head, crying because I just needed the day to be over. Even my six-year-old was like, "This is the worst Easter ever! Everyone is crying and mad! It's supposed to be happy!" Guilt upon guilt, right? It was supposed to be the most joyous day of celebration ever, and I just couldn't fake it anymore. Although the reality is that death has lost its sting, and life has swallowed up death forever (1 Corinthians 15), my personal reality that day was that I was deep in the valley of the shadow of death and it stung terribly.
And you know what? I've come to peace with that experience that Easter Sunday. I've come to peace with the fact that though Jesus' tomb was empty, Jesus knew that I was still going through the shadow of death. Because, my friend, this Risen Savior is in fact my good shepherd who was leading me through the valley of the shadow of death. He knew that in my deepest heart, I really was rejoicing in the resurrection, but the emotions closer to the surface of my heart were just still too entrenched in pain. That day, the resurrection hurt.
But Jesus got it. He's been there. Even before he raised Lazarus from the dead, Jesus wept. He knew that Lazarus would be alive again shortly, but the reality of death still brought Jesus to weeping. Yes friend, he gets it. He knows the pain of death and sorrow better than anyone. And He leads us through it.
So what about you? Maybe you're there now. Maybe you're planning your Easter menu or stuffing plastic eggs full of jelly beans, but maybe in your heart, the resurrection hurts. Maybe you're stuck on that Saturday 2,000 years ago...the day that is today...when the tomb is still closed and the sting of death and tragedy is still so much your present reality.
Just in our circle of friends, we have friends who are spending this Resurrection Sunday as their first Easter newly divorced. Easter will hurt. Where is the hope in the death of a marriage? We have friends who are spending this Resurrection Sunday newly laid off and having no income in the foreseeable future. The valley of the shadow is painful on their unknown journey. We have friends who've just lost loved ones and perhaps they, like me two years ago, just can't get excited about their loved ones being in the joy of Heaven because they so desperately want their loved ones with them at the dinner table.
We have friends who've just lost babies to miscarriage and friends going through infertility, for whom all the little girls' Easter dresses and all the baskets filled with candy are just painful reminders of what they don't have. We have friends who've just received frightening diagnoses and the valley of the shadow of death seems imminent. Another friend is struggling with depression and cannot find the right medication, leaving her in pain and tears every day.
Joy feels out of reach to most of these friends.
For these friends, and perhaps for you, the Resurrection hurts. It hurts when you know you're supposed to feel joy but all you can muster up is sadness.
And my friend, that's okay. Two years ago when I crawled into bed crying on Easter Sunday during what should have been Easter Egg Hunt time, I just felt shame and guilt for being unable to celebrate properly and joyfully. It took me a long time to realize that God is bigger than my pain. It took me a long time to realize that God knew my heart that Sunday. He knew that my heart rejoiced in the resurrection even though my eyes cried tears of grief and pain all day. He knew that on my own journey, I was still in the valley of the shadow of death but was clinging to the promise of the Resurrection as much as I could.
He knew, because He was right there with me.
Friend, if the Resurrection hurts for you this weekend, I pray the peace of God will cover over you. I pray that you'll know that even though it feels like the stone has not yet been rolled away from the tomb, that you'll cling to the reality that the stone really is rolled away.
And even if right now you can't force emotions of joy, that you'll settle your heart on what is true. And settle your heart on the fact that it's okay if today, and even tomorrow, you just need to keep journeying through the dark valley...one foot in front of the other might be all you can do right now. That's okay. Because, dear friend, the Resurrected Savior is the One who leads you through that dark valley. Our Risen Lord walks through the dark valley with you, and His empty tomb is your assurance that someday, dawn will come to your dark valley.
Someday, the valley of the shadow of death is actually going to end...and not just when you get to Heaven. But even on earth, the present pain you're journeying through right now will actually lessen.
So, friend, if tomorrow the Resurrection hurts, please know because of the Resurrection, light will again pierce through your present darkness. Because the Resurrection really is the heartbeat of Creation and the truest truth of the world. Even when it hurts.

We did not attend an Easter service in Milian today...between the Latin and Italian service, and that Italian Catholics have little if any music in church, it just wouldn't be meaningful. But this essay has been my Easter message!! And a blessing. We are spending the day with Winmills' friends. They took us on a tour/dinner trip around the city Friday evening. They live 40 miles out of Milian, so we'll see some country side and enjoy a traditional lamb dinner. happy Easter!!

LA QUINTA, Calif. – The lines between victory and defeat are blurred in professional golf where any prize money earned is considered a good week whether it's the first-place check or just enough to cover expenses.
But there was no such ambiguity during the final round of Q-School yesterday at PGA West. Only the low 35 scores and ties would be receiving their PGA Tour Cards at the end of the day. Make the cut and you're in for a year of million-dollar tournaments and first-class treatment. Miss the cut and it's the Nationwide Tour at best, the minor league of golf.
That's why emotions ran the gamut yesterday as golfers seemingly on the brink of riches or ruin came to the 18th holes of the TPC Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament courses, hoping to tie or better the 8-under score that marked the cut. Never has the term, "Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat," applied so appropriately to golf.
We saw the delighted exuberance of former Tour winner Woody Austin, who finished with three straight birdies on the Stadium course, including a 15-footer on the 18th hole, to keep his card. We saw the poised finish by Johnny's kid, Andy Miller, who shook off a double-bogey at the par-3 17th, to find par on the 18th and earn his first PGA Tour card. We also saw the disappointment of Casey Martin, whose bid to ride his cart on the PGA Tour was foiled by back-to- back double-bogeys on the 13th and 14th holes.
Jeff Brehaut, a 39-year-old who first earned his Tour card in 2001, won the tournament at 16-under. But Q-school isn't about one winner. It's about the 38 survivors like Austin, an eight-year Tour vet who won the 1995 Buick Open.
"I've been out there [PGA Tour] for eight years now," Austin said. "I didn't want to have to start all over."
He and Brian Watts (8-under) were among the few notable vets who retained their cards. Those who failed included Brandel Chamblee, who lipped out a par putt on his final hole and dropped to 7-under. Steve Pate (6-under); Bob May (3-under), Dennis Paulson (1-under) and Bill Glasson (2-over) also failed to retain their cards.
Martin failed, too. Though he was at 10-under at one-point during his final round yesterday, he dropped to 7-under with a double-bogey on the 214-yard par-3 13th where he hit his tee-shot into the water. He then dropped another two shots on the 389-yard par-4 14th where he needed four shots to find the green. He finished 5-over for the day and 5-under for the tournament.
"I was nervous," Martin admitted. "There was obviously a lot of pressure because I really wanted to make it. But I haven't been hitting the ball very well. I got away with it for a while, but not today."
Martin will spend next season on the Nationwide Tour, hoping to finish among the top 20 money winners and get his Tour card for 2004. Miller, the 24-year-old son of broadcaster and former PGA Tour star Johnny Miller, can now test his famous name on the PGA Tour.
"I knew if a couple of putts fell, I'd be in good position," Miller said. "I was able to stay patient and keep making a few birdies."
He made enough birdies to finish 9-under for the tournament, and affirm the analysis of his dad who told him, "you can do it, so just go out and do it."
Now, he'll see if he can, "do it," on the PGA Tour.
