As the mother of three teenagers, I've been through a lot -- broken limbs, broken hearts, broken curfews. But nothing prepared me for the moment on the morning of Aug. 29, 2015 when I had to give a final goodbye hug to my oldest as he headed off to college. As I held him tight, I truly understood for the first time the emotions my own mother -- gone many years now -- must have felt when she wrapped her arms around me 32 years ago in the same situation.
Even now, so many months later, I often find myself in the midst of a tug-of-war that pits my desire to "mother" him against the necessity of letting go. And so while I've never been such an interventionist that I've called a college professor, I have been known to go online -- and, I admit it, pretty often -- to find out what the weather's like in the college town he lives in. That got me thinking: what do other parents of college kids do that they likely wouldn't admit to?
We asked our Facebook followers that question -- and here's what they had to say. Have anything to add? Let us know in comments.
1. "I read the local newspapers every day online. I don't pass along the info often, I just like to know what's happening, concerts, if the school is in the news and why. That sort of thing." -- C.D.
2. "I check out their social media -- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram -- for new photos and posts, without ever commenting." -- L.H.
3. "My husband often checks the webcams on campus where they have live streaming. He was/is always hoping to catch a glimpse of our kids, or at least, get a sense of what's going on at school. But really, it's to catch a glimpse of the kids." -- M.S.
4. "I always have my daughter send me a schedule of her classes with days and times. So whenever I think of her I can know where she is, like in English class and that she gets out at 3:30. And then I will call her on her walk back to her apartment. She is at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts and I am in Atlanta!" -- A.S.
5. "I send ridiculous amounts of food!" -- T.F.
6. "My daughter is a freshman. I send her a little decoration for each holiday. Something small to hang on her door or put on her desk. She loves holidays and likes the little surprises that I've sent." -- D.G.
7. "I check their Facebook status and call when they're online. I also friend their friends, if I can." -- D.L.
8. "I have two college kids and I printed out the yearly calendar of holidays and days off for both schools and taped them to my fridge, just so I can always know and remember what days they are off." -- D.P.
9. "I've been known to surreptitiously check the fridge in my kid's dorm room and, when he was at class, I stocked it with milk and healthy stuff." -- A.O.

text: UTAH GOV. GARY HERBERT, a Republican, called on state regulators to make a rule against so-called conversion therapy for minors after a legislative proposal failed. Officials confirmed that they finalized the rule on Jan. 21, making Utah the 19th state to prohibit therapy aimed at changing minors' sexual orientation, even if they ask for it. Mormon leaders opposed the proposed legislation because it didn't include certain exceptions for clergy, so the state worked out new compromises in the regulation version. The rule won the support of Mormon leadership with assurances that religious leaders and LDS therapists could still provide spiritual counseling for members.

Die frühen Klosterbauten der Reichenau
Ausgrabungen - Schriftquellen - St. Galler KlosterplanArchäologie und Geschichte – Freiburger Forschungen zum ersten Jahrtausend in Südwestdeutschland
Reichenau Monastery, founded in 724 by Bishop Pirmin, developed into a important sanctuary in the Franconian Empire during the eighth century. Equipped with a famous library and a well-known school, the Augia was one of the outstanding spiritual centers in early medieval Europe. Alfons Zettler has reconstructed the early architectural history of the monastery in years of research. His research draws from many written and pictorial sources. The focus, however, is the archaeological observations made by the author from 1970 to 1984 on site. In detail, he discusses the development of farm buildings, residential tracts and churches of the monastery district on the basis of the excavation findings. Maps, plans, historical views and photographs accompany the text. An appendix contains excavation documentation and remarks by Helmut Schlichterle on the prehistoric settlement of the monastery square. The book conveys important findings of modern medieval archeology and gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life of an early medieval monastic community.

Letter sent by Abraham Lincoln days before Christmas sells at auction for $60K
CNN reports that a letter written by Abraham Lincoln on December 21, 1863 was recently sold at auction.
The letter asked the U.S. military to allow Mary Todd Lincoln's cousins to return to their plantation during the Civil War. Reports say, the Craigs were a slave-holding family who fled their plantation in Arkansas as Union forces took over much of the state. The Craigs were nearing the end of their lives and wished to return to their home for Christmas, according to CNN.
The letter went for $60,000.
According to a transcript from The Raab Collection, the letter said:
"Mr. and Mrs. Craig, of Arkansas, whose plantation, situated upon the Mississippi River a few miles below Helena, has been desolated during the present war, propose returning to reoccupy and cultivate said plantation; and it is my wish that they be permitted to do so, and that the United States military forces in that vicinity will not molest them or allow them to be molested, as long as the said Mr. and Mrs. Craig shall demean themselves as peaceful, loyal citizens of the United States."
The name of the buyer wasn't released.

Effect of cold work and aging on mechanical properties of a copper bearing microalloyed HSLA-100 (GPT) steel
Sanjay Panwar D B Goel O P Pandey
Investigations have been carried out on the effect of cold work and subsequent aging on mechanical properties of a Cu-bearing HSLA-100 steel microalloyed with Nb and Ti. Aging at 400°C after various degrees of cold work (25–70 pct) exhibits multiple hardness peaks. The treatments cause significant improvement in hardness and tensile strength, but at the cost of impact strength. Cold work also causes deterioration in ductility, which again improves on subsequent aging. The C70A treatment involving 70 pct deformation exhibits maximum response to age hardening giving a hardness of 465 VHN and a UTS of 1344 MPa, but with low values of ductility (5 pct) and impact energy (24 J). C50A treatment involving 50 pct cold work and aging results in an optimum combination of mechanical properties. This treatment in the second hardness peak stage yields a hardness of 373 VHN, UTS of 1186 MPa together with a ductility value of 11 pct and impact energy of 109 J. Scanning electron microscopic studies of fracture surfaces reveal that the impact fracture occurs by formation of dimples and nucleation and growth of voids and cracks. Fracture in tensile specimens is caused by formation of voids and cracks at high density striations. Formation of voids and cracks is also assisted by the presence of precipitated carbide particles.

Studies on relative catalytic efficiencies of zinc and aluminium on nucleation of dispersed bismuth droplets
In Zn–Bi and Al–Bi systems, both of which belong to monotectic class, dispersion of second phase particles within the matrix have been produced through rapid solidification processing (RSP) route. In order to understand relative catalytic efficiencies of Zn and Al matrices in catalyzing nucleation of Bi particles entrapped in the respective metal matrices, thermal analysis in constant program mode was performed. Thermal analyses revealed that Bi undercools by 132° in Zn matrix and by 157° in Al matrix. Thermodynamic barrier to nucleation (𝛥𝐺*) for Bi has also been calculated, which is 39.8 kcal/mole and 47.085 kcal/mole, in Zn and Al matrices, respectively at the maximum recorded undercoolings.

Synthesis, transport and dielectric properties of polyaniline/Co3O4 composites
Shantala D Patil S C Raghavendra M Revansiddappa P Narsimha M V N Ambika Prasad
Conducting polyaniline/cobaltous oxide composites have been synthesized using in situ deposition technique by placing fine graded/cobaltous oxide in polymerization mixture of aniline. The a.c. conductivity and dielectric properties are studied by sandwiching the pellets of these composites between the silver electrodes. It is observed that the values of conductivities increase up to 30 wt% of cobaltous oxide in polyaniline and decrease thereafter. Initial increment in conductivity is due to extended chain length of polyaniline where polarons possess sufficient energy to hop between favourable sites. Beyond 30 wt% of cobaltous oxide in polyaniline, blocking of charge carriers takes place reducing the conductivity values. It can be noted that the value of dielectric constant increases up to 10 wt% of cobaltous oxide. Thereafter, it decreases up to 30 wt% of cobaltous oxide and again increases up to 40 wt% of cobaltous oxide and decreases thereafter. The observed behaviour is attributed to the variation of a.c. conductivity. And it is observed that the dielectric loss increases up to 10 wt% of cobaltous oxide in polyaniline, decreases to a lower value of 20 wt% of cobaltous oxide and increases to 35 wt% and thereafter decreases. These values go in accordance with the values of dielectric constant. The results obtained for these composites are of greater scientific and technological importance.

Production of boron carbide powder by carbothermal synthesis of gel material
Boron carbide (B4C) powder has been produced by carbothermal reduction of boric acid–citric acid gel. Initially a gel of boric acid–citric acid is prepared in an oven at 100°C. This gel is pyrolyzed in a high temperature furnace over a temperature range of 1000–1800°C. The reaction initiation temperature range for B4C formation is determined by thermal analysis. The optimal pyrolysis temperature of B4C synthesis is investigated. During pyrolysis, the evaporation of boron-rich phases results in presence of free carbon in B4C powder. The electron micrographs and particle size analyser reveal the generation of fine B4C particles.

Effect of sintering temperature on structural and electrical properties of gadolinium doped ceria (Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95)
L D Jadhav S H Pawar M G Chourashiya
Gadolinium doped ceria oxide is one of the promising materials as an electrolyte for IT–SOFCs. Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (GDC10) powder was prepared by solid state reaction and sintered at 1473 K, 1573 K, 1673 K and 1773 K. All samples were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron micrograph and d.c. conductivity measurement. The crystallinity and surface morphology of the samples improved with sintering temperature. Further, the electrical conductivity measurement indicated that the conduction mechanism is mainly ionic. The conductivity of samples sintered at 1673 K and 1773 K at 800°C are of the order of 0.1 S-cm-1. The activation energies decreased from 1.25–0.82 eV with increase in sintering temperature.

Piezoelectric properties of Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 single crystals
Anhua Wu Jiayue Xu Juan Zhou Hui Shen
A new piezoelectric single crystal, Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 (SGG), has been grown successfully by the vertical Bridgman method with crucible-sealing technique. SGG crystal up to 2″ in diameter has been obtained. The relative dielectric constants, the piezoelectric strain constants, elastic compliance constants and electromechanical coupling factors have been determined with resonance and anti-resonance frequencies method by using the impedance analyzer (Agilent 4294A). The results show that the piezoelectric strain constants and electromechanical coupling factors of SGG single crystal are higher than those of LGS single crystals making it a potential substrate material for surface-acoustic wave applications.

Thermal, FT–IR and SHG efficiency studies of L-arginine doped KDP crystals
K D Parikh D J Dave B B Parekh M J Joshi
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) is a well known nonlinear optical (NLO) material with different applications. Since most of the amino acids exhibit NLO property, it is of interest to dope them in KDP. In the present study, amino acid L-arginine was doped in KDP. The doping of L-arginine was confirmed by FT–IR and paper chromatography. Thermogravimetry suggested that as the amount of doping increases the thermal stability decreases as well as the value of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters decreases. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of L-arginine doped KDP crystals was found to be increasing with doping concentration of L-arginine. The results are discussed here.

CO2 gas sensitivity of sputtered zinc oxide thin films
P Samarasekara N U S Yapa N T R N Kumara M V K Perera
For the first time, sputtered zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been used as a CO2 gas sensor. Zinc oxide thin films have been synthesized using reactive d.c. sputtering method for gas sensor applications, in the deposition temperature range from 130–153°C at a chamber pressure of 8.5 mbar for 18 h. Argon and oxygen gases were used as sputtering and reactive gases, respectively. ZnO phase could be crystallized using a pure metal target of zinc. The structure of the films determined by means of X-ray diffraction method indicates that the zinc oxide single phase can be fabricated in this substrate temperature range. The sensitivity of the film synthesized at substrate temperature of 130°C is 2.17 in the presence of CO2 gas at a measuring temperature of 100°C.

Study of annealing effects in In–Sb bilayer thin films
The thin films of In–Sb having different thicknesses of antimony keeping constant thickness of indium was deposited by thermal evaporation method on ITO coated conducting glass substrates at room temperature and a pressure of 10-5 torr. The samples were annealed for 1 h at 433 K at a pressure of 10-5 torr. The optical transmission spectra of as deposited and annealed films have been carried out at room temperature. The variation in optical band gap with thickness was also observed. Rutherford back scattering and X-ray diffraction analysis confirms mixing of bilayer system. The transverse 𝐼–𝑉 characteristic shows mixing effect after annealing at 433 K for 1 h. This study confirms mixing of bilayer structure of semiconductor thin films.

Synthesis of nanocrystalline CdS thin films in PVA matrix
R Devi P Purkayastha P K Kalita B K Sarma
Nanocrystalline thin films of CdS are deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition technique using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix solution. Crystallite sizes of the nanocrystalline films are determined from broadening of X-ray diffraction lines and are found to vary from 5.4–10.2 nm. The band gap of the nanocrystalline material is determined from the UV spectrograph. The absorption edge is shifted towards the lower wave length side (i.e. blue shift) and are found to be within the range from 2.48–2.8 eV as grain sizes decrease from 10.2–5.4 nm. This is also supported by the spectral response curves. An increase of molarity decreases the grain size which in turn increases the band gap.

A U Ubale V S Sangawar D K Kulkarni
ZnS thin films of different thicknesses were prepared by chemical bath deposition using thiourea and zinc acetate as S2- and Zn2+ source. The effect of film thickness on the optical and structural properties was studied. The optical absorption studies in the wavelength range 250–750 nm show that band gap energy of ZnS increases from 3.68–4.10 eV as thickness varied from 332–76 nm. The structural estimation shows variation in grain size from 6.9–17.8 nm with thickness. The thermoemf measurement indicates that films prepared by this method are of 𝑛-type.

Structural and electrical properties of swift heavy ion beam irradiated Fe/Si interface
The present work deals with the mixing of iron and silicon by swift heavy ions in high-energy range. The thin film was deposited on a 𝑛-Si (111) substrate at 10-6 torr and at room temperature. Irradiations were undertaken at room temperature using 120 MeV Au+9 ions at the Fe/Si interface to investigate ion beam mixing at various doses: 5 × 1012 and 5 × 1013 ions/cm2. Formation of different phases of iron silicide has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, which shows enhancement of intermixing and silicide formation as a result of irradiation. 𝐼–𝑉 measurements for both pristine and irradiated samples have been carried out at room temperature, series resistance and barrier heights for both as deposited and irradiated samples were extracted. The barrier height was found to vary from 0.73–0.54 eV. The series resistance varied from 102.04–38.61 k𝛺.

Application of mechano-chemical synthesis for protective coating on steel grinding media prior to ball milling of copper
Indranil Lahiri K Balasubramanian
One of the major sources of contamination during mechanical milling/alloying is from the surface erosion of the container and the grinding medium. This can either be prevented by using grinding medium and container of same material of the milled material or by adding a coating of the milled material on them. The paper describes the observations made during a mechano-chemical reaction, being used for coating the balls and vials in a planetary ball mill. Visual observation, XRD, optical micrography and EDS analysis were used to understand the progress of the reaction. Copper was successfully coated on the steel balls and vials. The method can easily be adopted in daily production purposes, prior to mechanical milling of a Cu-based powder for prevention of Fe contamination.

V S Sangawar R J Dhokne A U Ubale P S Chikhalikar S D Meshram
The electrical conductivity of naphthalene doped polystyrene (PS) films (≈ 61.58 𝜇m thick) was studied as a function of dopant concentration and temperature. The formation of charge transfer (CT) complexes and strong concentration dependence of carrier mobility point out that the current carriers are transported through doped polymer system via hopping among sites associated with the dopant molecules. The activation energy, 𝐸a, was calculated from the graph of log𝜎vs 103/𝑇 plot within low and high temperature regions.

Study of d.c. electrical conductivity of paranitroaniline doped (1 : 1) polyvinylchloride and poly(methyl methacrylate) polyblends
R V Waghmare N G Belsare F C Raghuwanshi S N Shilaskar
Electrical properties of PVC, PMMA and their 1 : 1 polyblends, before and after adding paranitroaniline into them, have been investigated as a function of temperature, electric field and dopant concentration, to study the mechanism of electrical conduction. The current was measured by applying d.c. voltage in the range 25–800 V at various thermostatically controlled temperatures (313–373 K). The results obtained predict the Schottky–Richardson conduction mechanism to be operative and d.c. conductivity of the blend lies intermediate between those of individual components. Further, the conductivity of the blend increases with temperature and applied electric field and also with the increase in concentration of dopant. To identify the mechanism governing the conduction, the activation energies in low temperature (LTR) and high temperature (HTR) regions have been calculated. The dielectric constant of the sample at various temperatures have been calculated which increased with increase in temperature. This is indicative of the diffusion of ions in space charge polarization at higher temperature. The study of XRD and FTIR supports the changes occurring in the conductivity of the blend.

A facile synthesis of MInSe2 (M = Cu, Ag) via low temperature pyrolysis of single source molecular precursors, [(R3P)2MIn(SeCOAr)4]
Shamik Ghoshal Liladhar B Kumbhare Vimal K Jain Gautam K Dey
The reaction of KSeCOAr with InCl3 and [MCl(PR3)2] in benzene afforded bimetallic complexes, [(R3P)2MIn(SeCOAr)4] (PR3 = PEt3 or PPh3; M = Cu or Ag; Ar = –C6H5 (phenyl) or 4-MeC6H4 (tolyl)). The triethylphosphine complexes decomposed rapidly when M = Ag while slowly when M = Cu. All these complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, NMR (1H, 31P) spectral data. Pyrolysis in a furnace at 300°C gave tetragonal MInSe2 (M = Cu, Ag) structure. Solvothermal decomposition of [(PPh3)2CuIn(SeCOAr)4] in boiling ethylene glycol gave nanorods of CuInSe2 which were characterized by XRD, EDAX, SEM and TEM.

Generation and characterization of nano aluminium powder obtained through wire explosion process
T K Sindhu R Sarathi S R Chakravarthy
In the present study, nano aluminium particles were produced by wire explosion process (WEP) in nitrogen, argon and helium atmospheres. Thus produced nano particles were characterized through certain physico-chemical diagnostic studies using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and by energy dispersive analysis by X-rays (EDAX). The size and shape of the powder were analysed by using transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies. The particle size distribution studies were performed by adopting log-normal probability distribution. The relationship between size of the particle generated in the explosion process and the type of inert gas/pressure was analysed. The mechanisms of nano particle formation, the factors which can aid the process of formation of nano particle in the wire explosion process were analysed. It is realized that energy deposited to the conductor and duration of current flow have major impact on particles produced by this process.

Royal Challengers eyeing revenge against RR
Jaipur: A star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore will be eyeing revenge and continue their winning streak when they take on formidable-at-home Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match here tomorrow.
The visitors have the arsenal to turn the tables on the hosts who would be weary after the last-over loss to Chennai Super Kings in the away match.
Bangalore, beaten by Rajasthan in their home game by 59 runs, have been an improved lot thereafter. With West Indian Chris Gayle in cracking form, the visitors have reached Jaipur with fine victories over Pune Warriors and Kings XI Punjab in their previous two matches. They have a strong line-up but poor form of Virat Kohli, remains a matter of concern. He has done little of note except for a 54-run knock against Chennai Super Kings.
The batting revolves around Gayle and the opponents try to get him out early but he has continued to clout the bowlers all over the park. His previous two innings of 87 against Kings XI and 84 against Pune Warriors powered his team to facile victories.
The rest of the batting has hard-hitting South African A B De Villiers, Saurabh Tiwary, Mayank Agrawal and Daniel Vettori apart from Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan who has not been kept out after his initial failure.
The bowling – spearheaded by veteran Muttiah Muralitharan and Zaheer Khan – is a balanced line-up with Vinay Kumar, Vettori, Andrew McDonald and H V Patel capable of lending good support.
The hosts, on the other hand, do not have big names but the team is well-balanced. The only centurion in this edition of IPL so far, orange cap holder Ajinkya Rahane, and the daring Owais Shah have clicked often and the support from the likes of Ashok Menaria, skipper Rahul Dravid, Brad Hodge and Kevin Cooper has been good.
The bowling department has relied on the medium pace of Siddhartha Trivedi and Amit Singh while Australian speedster Shaun Tait is yet to get an opportunity to play.
Rajasthan gambled with Stuart Binny against Chennai but he was dispatched for 20 runs in two overs. The bowling worries for the hosts have compounded and they might go for Sahun Tait tomorrow. Rajasthan suffered a last-ball defeat against Chennai Super Kings and that also exposed the ageing fielders who conceded twos where young legs could have prevented an extra run.
The fact that they are back on home turf and know the conditions well might help them but they will have to fight tooth and nail to prevail over the Royal Challengers who are preparing for revenge.
Despite all this, Rajasthan Royals are second on the table with eight points from seven matches while the visitors are at seventh but they have played a match less and a win here may change the position.

As I sat with my partner at mass on the first Sunday of Advent (Saturday evening) there was this little buzz of excitement as I watched the first advent candle being lit. A little flame flickered and ignited a very real sense of hope. A little jolt of excitement that told me something very wonderful was happening. A spark of nervous anticipation.
There is something about Advent this year which feels different, it feels special, uncertain, and brimming with potential – something is going to happen.
It's the first year, that I am aware of, that I've had an awareness of the hope and expectation of Advent. Not Christmas, but Advent, this time of uncertainty, the time of promise.
I'm not going to try and name what that hope might be, but instead I want to hold it and see where it leads me, to see what it reveals as I journey through this season of preparation, watching and waiting in wonder.
I'm sure some of you are staring at this and thinking – that's what Advent is all about…
But for me this is new. It could be because I didn't start planning Christmas back in the summer – with nativity scripts, or service planning. I don't have unending lists of carol services to wade through, or the juggling of crib, Christingle services, and school plays. And I haven't had the same Christmas music playing since the 1st Dec (sorry to all those working in retail with one tape on repeat).
There is a newness, a gift of possibility in the air, that finds it's beginning in the manger at the stable which welcomed stranger and foreigner.
This is where my advent journey has begun this year – with that small spark of excited anticipation which breaks though the chaos and noise of the lives we live and the world in which we live.
I wonder where your journey began this year? As you look upon the nativity scene and hear the familiar Advent readings, what is it that stirs inside you this year?

Irish-set Swan Lake and its Slow Moving Clouds soundtrack are things of beauty
Teach Damhsa's very Irish interpretation of Swan Lake and its accompanying soundtrack, by Irish-Scandinavian group Slow Moving Clouds, are stunningly beautiful. The ballet is heading Stateside but the band are bound for Belfast
ON A shelf in my office at home, I recently put a black saucer and on it I placed some white feathers. It is stunning in its simplicity but there is a story behind it.
The feathers came from Loch na hEala, a totally enthralling adaptation of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet Swan Lake at the Cork Opera House which I was privileged to witness last week.
Irish choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan's dance company, Teach Damhsa, has reimagined the story of the love between a prince and a princess who has been turned into a swan by a sorcerer's curse into a contemporary, no-holds-barred look at Ireland today – although it is so much more than that.
And if it ever comes back to Ireland after next year's tour of the United States – I hope it does – don't be expecting Piotr Ilyich's timeless music. The soundtrack for Loch na hEala is provided by the Irish-Scandinavian group Slow Moving Clouds.
A few weeks before I went to Cork I happened to bump into a former member of the trio, Danny Diamond, at Áras Mhic Reachtain where he was performing with another fantastic band of his, North, but I grabbed the chance to ask him about this amazing piece of theatre.
"It's incredible," he said, enthusiastically. "It's contemporary dance rather than ballet although some of the dancers have a background in ballet, but in Loch na hEala the dance is much freer and Michael has his own particular perspective on that; it is his world which he recreates and that was a very inspirational setting for the music," says Danny.
The Tchaikovsky original, based on a German folk tale, is a dark tale and so it is in this Irish reimagining. It skilfully weaves the story of John Carthy from Abbeylara in Co Longford who was shot dead by members of the Garda Emergency Response Unit in April 2000 after a 25-hour siege at his home.
John had fallen into a deep depression after the death of his father a few years before and had become the butt of jokes and practical jokes throughout the village and beyond.
In Loch na hEala, however, we see him dance with Fionnuala, a young woman who is turned into a swan along with three of her school friends after she is cursed by a priest who has sexually assaulted her. The narrative, of course, will remind of us the famous Irish legend of the Children of Lir.
This, you are probably thinking, might be a little too much to bear but, as Michael Keegan-Dolan writes in a blog: "The darkness in any story is there to teach us something. Don't be afraid of the dark – it is your friend."
The dancing and the music that accompanies it are stunningly beautiful.
"A lot of the music was done in improv with the dancers – the way they dragged creativity out of us was uncanny," Danny told me.
Michael Keegan-Dolan was already a fan of Nordic music and asked Danny if he would write music for the production which would eventually make its debut at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 2016 to rapturous acclaim.
"Michael was already talking about drones and Nordic strings and he wanted to give the show a dark, austere feel. He hadn't heard Slow Moving Clouds before that and came to me individually at first so just by happenstance, I was able to say, 'well, I have a band whose music does exactly what you're looking for," says Danny.
And so, the band got involved in Loch na hEala/Swan Lake, providing 15 tracks for the show, from the love duets, to the depressing house party scene where all the eligible females in the town are invited on the off-chance that her son might pick up a wife.
Less comic is the sight of the swans entangled in a mesh of polythene.
The whole show is powerfully held together by actor Mikel Murfi as narrator, predator priest and parish pump local councillor, as ancient mythology and the modern world collide.
While a lot of the action and the imagery of Loch na hEala is very disturbing, at the end of the show there is created a blizzard of feathers which envelops the stage and then floats across the auditorium. It is a unexpectedly joyous moment of redemption.
I grabbed a pocketful and they are now the ones sitting in my study as a reminder of a wonderful show and of the idea that healing is possible.
Loch na hEala/Swan Lake is going to tour the US next month and Slow Moving Clouds are no slouches either. Danny Diamond left last year – he is going to live in America – and the band now consists of Aki, who plays a traditional Swedish instrument called the nyckelharpa; Ultan O'Brien from Ennis, Co Clare, on fiddle and cellist Kevin Murphy.
The unique combination of nyckelharpa, fiddle and cello produce a unique sound that has won the band fans all over the world.
As well an album of music from Loch na hEala/Swan Lake, the trio also have a new album out, Swansong/Starfall. (Some tracks are on both albums.)
The good news is that Slow Moving Clouds are heading back to the Duncairn Arts Centre in north Belfast. I was at the last show they did there and it was truly a spellbinding night of music. This time around the gig is a co-promotion between two visionary organisations, the Duncairn and Moving On Music.
In their words: "Creating a minimalist sound world that is rich, darkly atmospheric and brimming with ideas, the trio are willing to explore, while never straying too far from their roots.
"However, what sets Slow Moving Clouds apart is their ability to recreate the ethereal and atmospheric intricacies of their studio work in a live setting..."
:: Slow Moving Clouds play the Duncairn Arts Centre tomorrow night, (Saturday, September 21) at 7:30pm.

Bob has a special love for Vermont, and his extended family there. He loved to hunt and fish, and photography. A Harley Davidson rider all of his life until he became ill, his newest toy was a BMW Roadster. He collected elephant figures and Santa Claus'. Bob loved to play the guitar and had a beautiful soothing voice. He taught the bible in a ministry as a born again Christian, and was certain that his three special babies Raquel, Whitney and Halle, were waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge to welcome him into heaven.
Family was very important to Bob, and so were the holidays when everyone would gather. Bob was strong willed and could be quite stubborn at times, but he was loved by his family even during those times. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his step children who he considered his own children, William (Billy) Crocco and his wife Sue of Southbury, CT; Michelle Ogle and her husband Matt of Larchmont, NY; a son from a previous marriage, Robert E. Decelles, Jr. of Florida and his daughter, Cheyenne; two brothers, Gerald and Arthur Decelles, both of Connecticut; two step- sisters, Pauline Durand and Claire Plante both of Rhode Island; his grandchildren who were the light of his life, Luca, Juliana, Anthony, Vera and Leo – Pepe will always love you.

I used to buy the mix from the pancake parlor
Gotta agree there.
I used to buy the mix from the pancake parlor
Actions verify priorities
The reason to make protein pancakes is because you can easily make them fit your macros without all the extra sugar. Then again, listen to the experts who know everything about food and are never in shape.
I have 2 go-to recipes.
- 1 egg.
- 30g of quick oats.
- 30g protein powder.
- 1/3 cup of water or milk.
Whisk all together and fry. Will make one large pancake or 2 small. About 300 calories without topping. I usually put peanut butter on top and that brings the calories up to 400 with pretty balanced macros.
Otherwise I use this proper pancake mix.
Being buckwheat, it's high in fibre and really filling. I make 1/4 of a box at a time and add my own scoop of protein powder. Will make 2 large pancakes.
Wow Steven you really seem to have one large chip on your shoulder
Actions verify priorities
What's wrong with making normal pancakes and using stevia or similar? Who says they have to contain sugar?
I must say whenever I cook with whey it always comes out rather dry
iHERB promo code - WWC564
Hidden Content
I happen to agree with Bazza and Shrek here, whey does not add much to the pancake experience.
Any food that can be eaten quicker than they can be cooked is a waste of time.

Hello friends and family! I hope you are all enjoying the 25 degree weather back in the States! Here in Granada, Spain, it is about 50 degrees, but let's rewind about a week ago when I was in Madrid (and it was cold and rainy).
After a 6am arrival and almost zero sleep on the plane, I was ready for a nap. A 6 hour one at that.. Welcome to my life, Jetlag! I spent the day walking the streets of Madrid, eating tapas, and drinking chocolate and wine. However the day would not be over anytime soon. My Spaniard friends were ready to party, and for those of you who don't already know, party time in Spain starts around 1 or 2am, and ends around 5 or 6am. Obviously I was ready to go home around 2:30, but I ended up surviving my first night of la vida loca.
I spent my week in Madrid learning how to take the Metro, a very convenient means of transportation. To my Downers Grovers, picture the Metra, but instead of all railways leading to the city, each stop would have other railways that lead to suburbs on other lines. So not only could I easily get to the main part of the city (Chicago), I could also take a line to another suburb not on the BNSF line (say, Wheaton). Got it? Good. All in all, the Spanish have the public transportation thing figured out.
My sightseeing included The Royal Palace, The Prado Museum, Plaza Mayor Square, Gran Via Avenue, and Puerta del Sol. Oh and of course the futbol stadium, which happens when your tour guides are men. No pictures, however feel free to use google images ;)
As for the food, I am not a picky eater, so I tried and enjoyed almost everything that was put in front of me. I particularly love 'chocolate a la taza,' which we all know you can dip churros into, but to straight up drink it?! Marvelous. Okay, so on to the real food. My favorite tapas include jamon serrano, and anything with salmon (which is served raw). I also really like the meat and cheese plates, however I couldn't really get past roquefort. Something about food looking like it has mold growing on it.. not appealing.
Random things I noticed in Spain:
-Spaniards listen to our music. All of the time. Keith Urban, Taylor Swift.. you name it.
-All Spaniards dress the same. Girls: Pea coat, scarft, tights or leggings, booties. Guys: Pea coat, scarf, jeans, nice shoes. This includes small children and grandparents. General observation: The Spanish are stylish.
-People don't say 'excuse me' or 'sorry' if they are trying to get by or bump into you. Also, they walk very slowly and will stop in the middle of the sidewalk unexpectedly. This is especially strange for me because my parents are basically olympic level speed walkers.
-Some shops close between 2pm and 5pm. Nap time!
-Breakfast: Whenever you wake up, or never. Lunch: Between 2pm and 4:30pm. Dinner: 9pm or later.
-Spaniards are energy efficient. For example, lights in the bathrooms, including each stall, are timed (in public places). So if you need a little extra time to do your business, you may have to tap the light switch a few times.
- comments
Beth Riordan I like your general observations! Especially the one about me and dad and the bathroom one!

Willow Magic Off The Mark
The Summerhill Stud based Willow Magic was responsible for his first winner, when two-year-old Dubawi Princess got off the mark at Turffontein on Saturday.
Trained, like her sire, by Sean Tarry, the Klawervlei Stud bred Dubawi Princess had been second to unbeaten filly Miracle Flight in a juvenile plate for fillies last time out and this form duly saw the filly dispatched as the 9-10 tote favourite for Saturday's TAB Pays The Full Dividend, No Limits Maiden Juvenile Plate (fillies) (1160m).
Under the inform Luke Ferraris, Dubawi Princess skipped clear of her rivals to register a comprehensive two and a quarter length, with the apprentice ridden Ululate (Ideal World) back in second, and War Of Athena (Act Of War) 3.5 lengths off the winner in third spot.

Dubawi Princess, who was making her third start in Saturday's race, claimed her first win in a time of 69.79.
A R320 000 buy from last year's National Yearling Sale, Dubawi Princess is out of the winning King Of Kings mare Millenium Reign, a daughter of G3 Steinhoff Magnolia Handicap winner Lee Danzig.
Her sire Willow Magic, one of more than 40 G1 winners sired by Darley's remarkable Dubawi, was a top-class and versatile racehorse.
The handsome chestnut, who earned R1 632 725 during his career, won or placed in 14 of 20 outings, with Willow Magic landing both the 2013 G1 SA Nursery (where he beat subsequent G1 Mercury Sprint winner Red Ray by 1.75 lengths) and G2 Dingaans.

Tucked away in the Briar Creek community at 8551 Briar Creek Parkway in Raleigh, but still holding on to that big city feel, Brasa Brazillian is a great getaway when you want to enjoy really great authentic Brazillian food on the higher end of the chain. It is what they call a "true Brazilian steakhouse."
It is a Brazilian rodizio style restaurant, and so that means that their wide variety of meat originating from Southern Brazil is fire-roasted to perfection and includes beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and even seafood. Inside the warm atmosphere with dark browns and reds, with thick sexy curtains and big fireplaces, there is also an exotic Appetizer Bar as well as a great Salad Bar that includes all the favorites belonging to the Brazilian culture. Everything is so delicious that you may choose only to eat from these bars because everything is so carefully selected and carefully prepared to delight your senses!
Being a rodizio style restaurant, Brasa Brazilian's menu goes this way: At lunch time, choose from three options which include the Silver option for $10.95, which includes the all inclusive salad bar and appetizer bar; or the Gold option for $18.95 which includes the salad bar, appetizer bar, and select rodizio meats (garlic steak, sausage, bacon wrapped filet, and chicken); or the Platinum for $24.95 which includes the salad bar, appetizer bar, and all meats offered in the restaurant. Or, come at dinner time and choose the Silver for $26.95 that includes the salad bar and appetizer bar; the Gold for $37.95 that includes the salad bar, appetizer bar, and all rodizio meats; or the Platinum option for $54.95 that includes the salad bar, appetizer bar, all rodizio meats, and a lobster tail.
And this is the most exciting part of this entire experience. When you are ready to eat the rodizio meats, turn the little coaster on your table over to signal the waiters that you are ready to eat. Then sit back and watch as they come out, wielding swords of meat so that you can sample the delicious meats! It is called "Steak Theater" by Brasa Brazillian restaurant.
Where does this entire restaurant ritual and form of cooking these delicious meats come from? From Brazil, of course, on the Southern pampas where "gauchos" roamed their land. At night, around dinner time, they would build big fires both for warmth and for . . . cooking dinner! These people mastered the art of cooking their delicious meats slowly over these open flames on large, long skewers (like those swords the waiters wield!) turning over the flames. Everyone was to enjoy the meats until completely satisfied; just as you would do in this great restaurant . . . dining is unlimited.
Come enjoy this great tradition of the Brazillian gauchos, and bring along your honey or your friends so that they can experience it with you! And don't forget about the Sunday brunch that is offered every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. which includes delicious made to order omelettes, fresh fruit selections, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, quiche, and many more items for $18 per adult or $10 per child!

Driver Pleads Not Guilty in New Hampshire Motorcycle Crash that Killed 7
A pickup truck driver accused of colliding with a group of motorcyclists, killing seven of them, pleaded not guilty through his lawyer Tuesday to negligent homicide.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was ordered to remain in prevention detention, with a judge citing his past driving record, saying it poses a potential danger to the public and himself.
Zhukovskyy earlier waived his right to arraignment, authorities said. The plea was entered by his attorney Melissa Davis in Coos County Court in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Zhukovskyy remains behind bars there.
A jury trial has been scheduled to begin in November.
The truck Zhukovskyy was driving was towing a flatbed trailer and collided with the motorcycles in Randolph, investigators say. He was driving erratically and crossed the center line, according to criminal complaints released Tuesday.
Zhukovskyy was arrested Monday morning at his home in Massachusetts and handed over to New Hampshire authorities after a court appearance that day.
Records show Zhukovskyy, who was working for a Massachusetts transport company at the time of the crash, has been stopped twice on suspicion of drunken driving in the past seven years.
Connecticut prosecutors say he was arrested May 11 in a Walmart parking lot in East Windsor Walmart after failing a sobriety test. Zhukovskyy's lawyer in that case, John O'Brien, said he denies being intoxicated and will fight the charge.
Additionally, Zhukovskyy was arrested on a drunken driving charge in 2013 in Westfield, Massachusetts, state records show. He was placed on probation for one year and had his license suspended for 210 days, The Westfield News reported.
Records from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration indicate that the company Zhukovskyy was driving for at the time of the motorcycle crash, Westfield Transport, has been cited for various violations in the past two years, MassLive.com reported.
Phones rang unanswered at the company.
The victims were members or supporters of the Marine JarHeads, a New England motorcycle club that includes Marines and their spouses, and ranged in age from 42 to 62. Four were from New Hampshire, two from Massachusetts and one from Rhode Island.
Members of the group and relatives of the victims have welcomed the charges against Zhukovskyy but said it would do little to easier their pain.
Relatives of Zhukovskyy said they were also suffering and defended him as a good person who didn't intentionally kill the motorcyclists. They said he was on his way back to Massachusetts from dropping of a shipment of cars and appeared happy to be heading home.

The Tax Office has announced its intention to target the share economy in a bid to recover nearly $8.7 billion in expected tax revenue.
Through the use of sophisticated data-matching technology, the ATO is able to track holiday houses rented on common sites such as Stayz and Airbnb that derive income.
Specifically, the ATO is interested in periods of no tenancy – with taxpayers needing to prove their home was available and wasn't used for private purposes if they are trying to claim a deduction.
Craig Barry, director of tax services at William Buck, said the onus of proof is on the taxpayer, meaning they need to prove a loss of income.
"Increased sophistication of data-matching means the ATO can compare your property against other holiday rentals in the area. If you fall out of their bell curve, you could be their primary target for a review or costly audit," said Mr Barry.
"All powers will be used to ensure the legitimacy of your records, including demanding access to bank account records for proof that all rental amounts received were declared as income," said Mr Barry.
Tax legislation currently allows deductions for holding costs, such as interest and rates, incurred by property owners during periods of vacancy where the owners are genuinely seeking tenants.
If the property is being used for personal purposes, or is otherwise not genuinely available for rent, an appropriation of proportion of those holding costs are not considered deductible.
"The ATO is interested in properties not 'genuinely available for rent', which makes for an interesting proposition – proving a negative."

Paul Matney seems to be a serious expert on baseball and its potential interest in his hometown.
The retired Amarillo College president hit the stump this fall to campaign for approval of a multipurpose event venue in downtown Amarillo. Part of Matney's pitch was that Amarillo "is a baseball town."
The MPEV received voters' endorsement on Nov. 3 in a non-binding municipal referendum. The Amarillo City Council then ratified the results and voted unanimously to proceed with development of the MPEV.
Then, what do you think was revealed just this week?
Melissa Dailey, head of Downtown Amarillo Inc., told the Local Government Corporation that, by golly, she's had some informal contact with a Class AA minor-league baseball franchise that might be interested in setting up an operation in Amarillo.
Dailey said she is not at liberty — yet! — to disclose the name of the franchise. She said the city is on a "short list" of communities being considered.
Hey, didn't Paul Matney predict this might happen if voters approved the MPEV?
Yes, I believe he did.
The LGC is moving forward, per the City Council's advice. It will report to the council regularly as it continues its work toward developing the $32 million MPEV.
And now the conversation might include a minor-league baseball outfit, with major-league connections, that could move into the MPEV once it's built.
Who knew?
Oh yeah. Paul Matney seemed to be ahead of the curve.
