Hey, it’s Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business and a life that you love. In our fast paced world, it’s really easy to miss the beauty that’s often right in front of our face. And today my guest has devoted his entire career to giving us a glimpse of the magic and the wonder that surrounds us each and every day.
Louie Schwartzberg is an award-winning producer, director, and cinematographer who’s been shooting time-lapse 24/7 continuously for nearly 4 decades. Schwartzberg is a visual artist breaking barriers and telling stories that celebrate nature and life. Two of his recent TEDx talks are regularly cited among the top watched of all time. A 15 episode web series based on his viral video, Gratitude Revealed, is currently on Oprah.com and he was a guest on Super Soul Sunday. His moving art series, which explores the beauty and majesty of nature, is available on Netflix. His most recent films include Wings of Life, narrated by Meryl Streep, and Mysteries of the Unseen World, an IMAX film narrated by Forest Whitaker. Over his long trailblazing career, Schwartzberg has earned a myriad of awards and honors and was recognized as one of the top 70 cinematographers for the on film Kodak salute series.
Louie, thank you so much for taking the time to be here today.
Great to be here.
So you’re a pioneer in the field of time-lapse photography. What inspired you to get into this unique aspect of filmmaking?
Well, when I graduated from UCLA I wanted to shoot the highest quality resolution film I could, but I didn’t have any money. So I got involved with time lapse because I could shoot one frame every 20 minutes and it would take me a month or two to shoot a roll of film, which was four minutes, and that enabled me to kind of do high quality cinematography but, at the same time, not spend a lot of money. But in addition to that, it really filled my sense of wonder. I mean, being able to see the world from a different time and space, it changes your worldview. It broadens your horizons. I mean, to see the world from the point of view of a flower or the point of view of a mosquito or the point of view of a redwood tree, makes you really understand that we have these narrow windows that we look through and if we can begin to open up that portal, it opens up your heart and definitely feeds your mind and your soul.
Did you ever have dreams to be a traditional filmmaker in the sense of, like, I want to go to Hollywood and make those big movies? Or was this always something that you dreamed of perhaps since you were little? I was curious about that trajectory.
Yeah, well, growing up in Brooklyn I had no idea I would ever be filming nature, let alone filmmaking. My parents were Holocaust survivors and if they didn’t experience, well, neither did I. But when I went to UCLA I got involved in documenting the anti-war movement, which was something that was… it was a way for me to fight back, a way to record the police brutality against the demonstrators, especially against women. And that turned me onto photography and filmmaking, which then turned me onto my greatest teacher. She taught me everything about lighting, composition, and color. It was mother nature. And that was the path I’ve been on because mother nature teaches you really how to live a creative and sustainable life. So I followed my passion more than dreaming about being a Hollywood filmmaker and, interestingly enough, Hollywood caught up to my vision because then we built a large company, they started licensing time-lapse cinematography for commercials, music videos, feature films. And not just time lapse but, you know, aerial, slice of life, contemporary imagery which did not exist before. So basically I created the stock… the contemporary stock footage licensing business.
That’s incredible. And it’s something that I know in the beginning of my career just beautiful stock photography and all those things, it made such a difference just to have these beautiful images, so thank you for pioneering that.
One of the things that you say that I love, that beauty and seduction are nature’s tools for survival. We protect what we fall in love with. Can you tell us more about that philosophy and how you’ve seen that come to life over the course of your career?
Well, I’ve had a camera going 24 hours a day 7 days a week for over 3 decades shooting time lapse flowers. Flowers are beautiful, right? You love them as well. And capturing their beauty and the way they move to the light seduced me, and that was enough to keep me going but I think there’s really a greater story, and that story was when I found out that the bees were dying. Well, you can’t tell the story about the bees without telling a story about flowers and how they co-evolved over 50 million years. I call it a love story that feeds the earth. So that relationship between the animal world and the plant world, gives us the most nutritious food we need to eat: fruits, nuts, vegetables, and seeds. It’s the foundation of life on our planet. And that relationship of pollination is based on beauty. I mean, this gorgeous flower and its color and its pattern is saying to the pollinator, “Come over here, I need to reproduce. I’m ready to go, I need to be fertilized.” You know? So the insect, the bee, gets, you know, nectar and pollen so that it can feed its young. The flower gets its DNA moved from one partner to another because plants don’t have legs and they can’t walk. And they can’t mate and they can’t date without a messenger. So life is all about, you know, DNA moving forward, and so beauty and seduction is nature’s way for life to move forward. And we are hardwired, just like they are. I mean, you’ve got a beautiful dress on today.
The pattern and the colors are designed for my eyes to notice it. Correct?
So we’re hardwired to respond to color, taste, touch, and smell. It’s… it’s in our… well, it’s just in our soul.
Now, advertisers use it all the time to manipulate people. There’s always a pretty girl next to a car.
Hopefully not so many moving forward, but yeah.
No, but… but, you know, we, to be honest about it, they use sex all the time to sell products.
And… and they’ve studied it really well because they know they can manipulate you in a certain way. So nature has, you know, has kind of embedded our sensibility to respond to vibrations of color, light, touch, and smell. And that is what motivates, I guess it… it truly makes the world go around.
Yeah. You know, I was actually thinking about that particularly for Wings of Life, which is narrated by Meryl Streep, and it is a breathtaking feature from a decidedly feminine perspective.
And I thought that was fascinating and I was curious how you came to that choice, if you started the project with that in mind or if that was something that evolved from starting to look at the footage and what you were shooting.
It really evolved. You know, most nature programs are based on predator vs prey.
Which is very manipulative and, well, it induces fear, fear and anxiety, but it gets good ratings. Shark Week is always the most popular show on television. But if you really study nature, if you’re present and mindful and observant, it’s the little things that make the world go round. It’s the billions of interactions, as I said earlier, between the pollinators and the flowers, it’s the foundation of life. And that story is a feminine story cuz it’s about relationships, cooperation, symbiosis, nurturing. That is the foundation of life. So obviously I had to tell it from a feminine point of view and who would be the… the best female voice in the world? Meryl Streep. Right?
I loved it. I mean, I keep going back to it. And I’m so thankful that there’s a portion of your work on Netflix, which I’m a subscriber. So I was just sitting there and listening to it and watching some things again and particularly, the other thing that got me curious was thinking about you and your process in this, particularly with Wings of Life. And wondering, you know, do you do so much research on these different flowers and the different insects and the different birds and the animals before you actually go in to shoot? So I was thinking about particularly the bucket orchid.
And the orchid bees.
And just how extraordinary it is that these bucket bees come in, they get seduced by the nectar, and there’s one escape route and she holds onto that bee until she can glue down those pollen sacs. So I was just curious to hear from you how much research you do before and what is… or, versus, what is the process? Like, woah, that actually happens.
As a documentary filmmaker I’m always on the voyage of discovery.
So I’m not an expert about insects or flowers, but what I do is I work with scientists and I hear all the, you know, research and the stories and I pick the most seductive story that I think will help me tell the grander story of what we’re trying to, you know, show. So the orchid bee, I loved it ‘cause it reminded me of a guy going from one bar to the other trying to score some perfume so he can get a date. Right?
But every time he does, he almost dies.
And that’s what got me so scared with that scene. I was like oh my goodness, is this orchid just gonna kill the bee?
Yeah. So the typical male is going from bar to bar trying to pick up a girl and, you know, and every time he does he almost dies. But after that experience he does it all over again. The drive for life to go forward is so strong, it’s unstoppable. And in most species, I mean, they’ll give up food and water in order to mate. You know, and it’s pretty amazing and powerful. So when I… so rather than just doing a story about a bee, you know, I hear, well, there’s a bumblebee and there’s a honeybee and then there’s the orchid bee. What a rare experience it was to shoot that in Panama. As a matter of fact, it really had never been recorded on film before. But when the scientists told me about that story I thought it was a great opener because it’s not lovey dovey, it’s not a Pollyanna story. Right?
I mean, it engages you because the bee almost dies.
Which that’s exactly what I thought was going to happen.
I thought he was out.
And it’s remarkable and it’s incredible and he looks like a martian.
He’s like flourescent blue and turquoise. So that was a good way to kind of, you know, grab an audience.
That’s awesome. And the other thing that I love, I happen to have a real affection for hummingbirds.
Like I know a lot of people do. And seeing them do those acrobatics and how you’re able to capture something that moves so fast that we wouldn’t be able to see if you haven’t captured it and showed it to us in this new framework.
Well, that’s the beauty of slow motion again. We live in this narrow world, we’re recording right now at 24 frames per second. That’s the human POV. There’s a lot of… when I say POV, point of view.
For the audience.
And what a wonderful way to expand your mind and your consciousness to realize that there are so many different ways of looking at life that is real. And slow motion, with the hummingbirds, it puts you into their world of, you know, you’re seeing the combat, you’re seeing the twirls and all those acrobatics but to our eyes it’s just a blur.
You see a hummingbird go by go [woosh]. There it went. And so to be in their world, to see it from their point of view, it opens your heart and I think it makes you appreciate life, it makes you appreciate hummingbirds, maybe it’ll make you put up a feeder in your backyard.
Yes, I have them.
And… and that’s good because I think it generates compassion.
By being present and mindful, and gratitude.
Let’s talk about the power of focus. You know, in this world, especially with technology, which I think can be such an asset and then sometimes it can be a hindrance, I hear so many people struggling with what to focus on. They have so many choices from what foods to buy, from what to do with their businesses and their careers and what to watch and what to read, and I know for you, you really have to choose your focus. There’s so many things that you could put your camera on. And even within the frame of what you want to shoot, there’s so many different angles. So I’m curious if you can speak to how choosing where to focus both in your work and your life has evolved through what you do.
Well, I think it’s a wonderful metaphor if you look at it from a cinematographer’s point of view. You have to choose the right lens, the right F-stop in order to tell a good story. And it means you can focus on the object that’s important and a lot of times you want that background to go out of focus because it’s a distraction. It’s really true in life, right? We have to choose what’s most important because there is a lot of distraction. So, you know, rather than just, you know, shooting wide open and making it be out of focus, we need to choose really what our life’s journey is about and our path. And it’s a beautiful metaphor to kinda see the parallel between the two. I think when you find what inspires you and what your passion is, then you can find that path. And once you find your path you’ll never use your way.
Mm. Speaking of finding what’s important, I know something that we share in common is a deep love and a practice for gratitude and being grateful for our lives. And there is a quote in the beginning of one of your talks from Neale Donald Walsch and it really speaks to what I feel like is the heart is gratitude is “the struggle ends when gratitude begins.” Tell us about gratitude, because I know it’s so important for your work and it’s helped me in watching your films want to slow down as I’m walking down the street here in New York and everything I’m doing. Even today I was thinking about this interview and coming here and I particularly chose not to listen to a podcast or do anything and to take in the beautiful scenery, even the concrete, and the people around me.
Right. Well, when you’re grateful and you have a lot of good things going on in your head, as you described, walking here to work for this interview, there’s not a lot of room for negativity.
I mean, that’s just a really simple idea and there’s always something you can be grateful for. You know, you have your health, the fact you were walking, the fact that you’ve got, like, 5 fingers.
The fact that you’ve got food on the table. I mean, those are the values I think you can always go to and avoid that feeling of problem solving, my to do list, the negative energy of things that need to be fixed. I think naturally the brain goes in that direction because of its survival mode.
Of always thinking, “I need to survive, I need this, I need that.” But I think what we need to do is nurture the good things. When something good happens we tend to kind of let it go in our head and out in about a moment, as opposed to nurturing it, savoring it, kind of sponging in it, right? And, again, by filling your bucket with gratitude there isn’t room for the negative energy to come in. And once you change your world view then, you know, things start to flow. Instead of forcing that job opportunity to occur, if you kind of just let back and be patient about it, it… the universe will probably allow, you know, the opportunities to come into your life that you really want to have happen.
Mm. For me gratitude is, like, a spiritual power tool that can instantly shift it all. Like, when things are just going down the tank, if you can take that pause and recognize what is going right. It’s the most powerful thing I’ve ever used in my life and I was excited to talk to you about it today.
When you go into a negative spiral and you get… it’s just a vortex you get deeper and deeper.
It’s the one thing for me that can just pull me out of it. Just be grateful for the fact that you’re breathing, grateful that you have… you have children, grateful for your health. I mean, it can just pull you out of it. And you just sort of have to stop that spiral and it’s pretty easy to get sucked into it.
Yeah. Absolutely. Louie, your work is extraordinary. Thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us today, and for everyone watching we are gonna put links so you can see all of Louie’s incredible work and find it where you are. Is there anything that you wanna leave us with?
Well, the journey of gratitude is that it’s interesting because my parents, who are Holocaust survivors, they taught me a different form of gratitude which is like food on the table, a roof over your head, security of a job, the miracle of having children. And so when I got into nature cinematography, it was a different form of being mindful and appreciation. And I think we need both of them. I think that’s why I love telling these stories of people who’ve overcome adversity whether it’s, you know, people or nature or ecosystems. We want to protect life and we want life to flourish.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. So now Louie and I would love to hear from you. What’s the single biggest insight you’re taking away from today’s conversation? As always, the best conversations happen after the episode over at MarieForleo.com, so go there and leave a comment now.

A plan to unite all the biggest breakfast cereal manufacturers of Australia announced by the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) recently, as per a recent report, is an attempt to raise awareness regarding benefits offered by breakfast cereals.
The aim is to promote the health benefits as well as bring enhancement in the understanding of consumers. It has been told by AFGC Chief Executive Gary Dawson that the information to be spread would all be evidence-based as well as practical.
As per the findings, Carman’s Fine Foods, Kellogg’s Australia, Sanitarium, Popina Foods as well as Freedom Foods and Nestlé Australia would be the members of the Forum. All these producers work for local markets of the nation as well as use Australian grown grain only.
The industry on a whole employs some 3000 people, including a majority from rural and regional suburbs. It is being said consumers as well as stakeholders will be called for a positive dialogue by the forum. Also, all advantages would be explained to them along with correction of misinformation.
Dawson affirmed, “Through continued education, the ABCMF aims to improve consumers understanding of the important role that breakfast cereal can play as part of a healthy, balanced diet”.

Meridian High School senior Kendra Guthrie is mixing cement, cutting chicken wire and placing stone on a front porch of a new Habitat for Humanity home — all to prepare for college.
“It’s about getting your hands dirty,” Guthrie said.
Guthrie wants to be a structural engineer and plans to attend Boise State University to study engineering. Sophomore year she decided to take masonry as an elective and it turned into a passion. Guthrie is one of six girls and nearly 40 students enrolled in the West Ada School District’s masonry program. Students learn the structural components of how to build using cement, cinder blocks, stone and marble.
“Masonry class has jump-started my love for engineering,” Guthrie said. “I think it’s interesting how structures can stay up.”
If Guthrie passes level three of the program she can earn a National Center for Construction Education and Research Certification. Instructor Greg Valdez has more than 30 years of experience as a mason and helped construct The Village at Meridian and the remodel of the Idaho State Capitol building. He believes masonry isn’t going away anytime soon.
“Masonry will last forever if it is properly maintained,” Valdez said. “It is fireproof and we need that in all structures.”
The number of jobs in the masonry professions is anticipated to grow more than 40 percent until 2022, according to the Idaho Department of Labor Occupational and Industry Projections.
“You are guaranteed work if you have skills in this area and if you have the right work ethic,” said Christi Rood, executive director of Workforce Development at the College of Western Idaho (CWI).
Masonry classes have been offered at the West Ada School District since 2007. This fall, CWI is partnering with the West Ada School District in part of a $25,000 grant from the Idaho Department of Labor. While high school students are taking masonry during the day, adults are taking the class in the evenings at the Meridian High School lab.
“It’s a great combination or resources and expertise,” Rood said. “This is a great environment to create a collaboration with K-12 and higher education.”
The medium wage in Idaho for a mason is between $37,890 and $43,530 per year, according to the Department of Labor.
For Guthrie, taking an elective class for enjoyment has now set her on a career path.
“The class is very unique and I can’t wait to use my skills when I move onto college,” Guthrie said.

Arsenal defender Ben White to ridicule Neto Bournemouth’s goalkeeper After the artillery army scored the winning goal in the 97th minute during last night’s Premier League game
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta describes the moment of injury time celebrations. After his side secured a last-minute 3-2 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League last night (Saturday, March 4, 2023), substitute Reiss Nelson scored the winning goal. For the Gunners to shoot through the hands of Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto in the 97th minute, successfully collecting three points for the team During the celebration of the door that was full of chaos, it appeared that a football fan walked down to the field. And Arteta had to take the little girl’s hand and send him back to his family. The Spanish coach spoke about the incident when celebrating that victory.
“It’s crazy, you can’t see where you are,” said Arteta. “I started running and didn’t really know. Which way I was running, I saw a child standing next to me and I ran up to the security guard. But just seeing everyone’s faces Our players and supporters with smiles, joy in their eyes. It’s a very special day. It’s a beautiful experience in the end. Dramatic but worth it because it was a great ending.”
Nelson’s sinful minute winning goal Not only made Arteta extremely happy. But so are the players in the team and will see Ben White mocking Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto. This UFABET game, when Bournemouth is in the lead or when the score is 2-2, will see the Cherries do everything possible to take points from Arsenal, especially by stalling. which Neto is one of the main culprits in this story When Arsenal won the game in the last minute White’s first thought was to turn to the Brazilian goalkeeper. The English defender confronted Neto and celebrated the goal in front of him.
On the other hand, Thomas Partey dedicated his goal of the game to his former Ghana international teammate Christian Atsu. It was confirmed last month that Atsu had tragically died at the age of 31 after a devastating earthquake struck Turkey and parts of northern Syria on February 6 during his playing career. The former Newcastle winger made 64 appearances for Ghana and played alongside Partey for his country on several occasions.
and for this game The Arsenal midfielder has paid his respects to his former team-mates at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta’s side came from two goals behind to widen their gap at the top of the Premier League table to five points after full-time. Partey took off his shirt to reveal a t-shirt with the words ‘Rest in peace, Christian Atsu’ printed on it.

Former AWB chief financial officer Paul Ingleby has struck a deal with the corporate watchdog to pay a $40,000 penalty and serve a 15-month ban on being a company director over his failure to detect bogus trucking fees paid to the Iraqi government.
"We are not asserting that Mr Ingleby did anything deliberately wrong," counsel for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Michael Colbran, QC, told the Victorian Supreme Court this morning. "With the benefit of the information available to him, Mr Ingleby ought to have joined the dots."
The inland transport fees, which started at $12 a tonne in 1999 but reached as high as 55 euros a tonne, were paid to Jordanian company Alia which then passed the bulk of the money on to the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein.
This contravened United Nations sanctions against Iraq, which sequestered payments to Iraq in an escrow account that could only be used for humanitarian purposes.
Mr Ingleby admitted to a single breach of his duties to AWB by co-signing documents authorising the payments to Alia between December 2001 and September 2004.
He is the second AWB officer to reach a settlement with ASIC, after former chief executive Andrew Lindberg last week agreed to a $100,000 penalty and a ban from managing companies until September 2014.
Both deals require approval by the court.
Justice Ross Robson this morning reserved his decision but said that if he did find Mr Ingleby had breached his duties he would not be increasing the penalty agreed on between the parties.
ASIC's civil cases against four other AWB executives continue.


TCA: MSNBC Inks New Deal With Rachel Maddow
Multi-year contract keeps primetime host on network through next election
By Andrea Morabito -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/2/2011 2:32:43 PMComplete Coverage: 2011 TCA Summer Press Tour
MSNBC has signed primetime host Rachel Maddow to a new multi-year contract, network president Phil Griffin confirmed at the Television Critics' Association press tour in Los Angles Tuesday.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Maddow said the new contract is essentially the same as her previous one.
"There aren't major new terms in the deal," she said after MSNBC's panel session. "There are tweaks here and there, but essentially what I have just agreed to do with MSNBC is keep doing what I'm doing for more years. And that's exactly what I wanted."
Maddow said her current contract was not set to expire this year but she took the chance to renegotiate before the upcoming election year.
"Had we not renegotiated [now], we'd be renegotiating in a year," she said. "And given the opportunity to renegotiate now instead I took it."
Also not included in the new contract is a role for Maddow on NBC News' upcoming primetime newsmagazine, with Maddow saying she hasn't had any conversations about contributing to the Brian Williams-hosted hour.
"I work really long days," she said. "I'm really happy doing what I'm doing and I'm not looking to do something else on top of what I'm doing. I'm not trying to pick up extra work."
The Rachel Maddow Show premiered on MSNBC in September 2008. In July, the show was up 24% year over year in adults 25-54 and 9% in total viewers.
If all Madcow was able to get is what she already had just goes to show that her value is no more and no less then it was when she started at the More Socialist News Broadcasting Company (MSNBC)I guess she can at least say they did not fire her Commie ass like they did her BBF The only man she might leave her GF for Keith Obigermouth!

A Landau-Pekar variational theory is employed to obtain an analytical expression for the polaronic correction to the ground state energy and the effective mass of an electron confined in a symmetric quantum dot potential in polar semiconductor in both two and three dimensions. It is found that polaronic correction is more pronounced in two dimension than that in three dimensional one and increases with the decrease in size of the quantum dot.

Hillside views a bus, train or tram ride, or quick walk away
Since our original 2014 article, we have decided to create an updated version. In the last seven years, bus routes and operators have come and gone, and your author’s knowledge of the hills has improved since then.
Was it really seven years since we first wrote this piece? Back then, we had some great weather. Seven years on, the last month has seen some fantastic weather for picnicking or admiring rural views. Since the first COVID-19 lockdown, many people have taken to the hills instead of the shopping centres.Continue reading “Run to the Hills 2021: A Go Cheapway Update”

January 22, 2010; 8:30 P.M. IST – Live on ESPN
It’s the face off between two namesakes at the Theatre of Dreams as Manchester United host Birmingham City. United will be looking to carry on their exceptional home form which has seen them top the league table despite their ordinary away form. Birmingham City on the other hand are in a relegation dog fight and any points against the league leaders will be a happy bonus. Interestingly Sir Alex is yet to lose to any of his former players, so Alex McLeish’s task looks even more daunting.
The master has never lost against any of his disciples thus far.
Even the most optimistic United fan wouldn’t have thought that the Red Devils would be unbeaten at this stage of the league campaign, but Sir Alex’s men have always strived for at times achieved the impossible. Winning and garnering all three points would be the only thing on the Red Devils’ minds when United take the field this weekend. The league has been unusually competitive this season and there are absolutely no freebies on offer.
The team from Midlands, in contrast to the league leaders, has an altogether different set of priorities. Although Birmingham are in a good position in the Carling Cup campaign, their topmost priority will undoubtedly be to survive relegation. After an excruciating derby against Aston Villa, where they surrendered a lead in the dying moments of the game, the Blues can hope for no mercy from Fergie’s men.
Team News and Tactical Brief
United will be expected to be at full strength as there are no major injury concerns other than that of long term absentees Hargreaves and Valencia. However with Rafael serving his one game suspension, John O’shea could get a game in at the Right Back position. United manager’s team selection could also be influenced by the rescheduled tricky midweek trip to Blackpool. Sir Alex could look to his squad players to step in and rest the usual suspects. Johny Evans or Chris Smalling could feature at the back as Rio Ferdinand could be saved for the away trip.
At the heart of the midfield Anderson looks certain to get the nod as he has shown flashes of brilliance and looks to be finally coming into his own. With Park away on national duty, United’s left wing has been an area of concern. Gabriel Obertan scored an impressive hattrick for the reserves and could feature on the left hand side of midfield. Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov are expected to lead the line with the ever improving Nani providing ammunition down the right wing.
City are one of the league’s lowest scorers with no real goal threat of note. However defensively they are a solid unit and the center back partnership of Roger Johnson and Scott Dann is reasonably miserly. Sadly though, Dann has been ruled out for the remainder of the league campaign due to a hamstring problem.
However there is a reason to be optimistic for Birmingham fans in the form of new signing David Bentley from Tottenham. Robbie Keane seemed to be well on his way to join Brum only for the Birmingham management to pull the plug on the deal on account of a disagreement in wages.
Zigic remains an option to be called upon from the bench in case goals are needed; the towering striker could prove yet again to be a handful in the air as United found out at St Andrew’s. Hleb could also influence the game from the bench with his characteristic flair and creativity.
Key Match Facts
1) Birmingham haven’t won at Old Trafford since 1978.
2) Birmingham have fired in fewer shots on target than any other team.
3) Man Utd have won the last nine home games against Birmingham City with the Blues failing to score in any of those matches.
TheHardTackle’s PLAYER TO WATCH OUT FOR
Anderson (Man Utd)
The Brazilian young gun has been a bit of an enigma at Old Trafford since his arrival three seasons ago. However this season Ando has settled down and performed to his potential. Those driving runs from midfield are his forte and could prove to be Birmingham’s downfall if Anderson turns on some Samba magic at Old Trafford.
Manchester United 2-0 Birmingham City
Man United have been invincible at home this season with 10 wins and a draw in 11 league games at Old Trafford. Red Devils also have the joint best defense in the league so normal service should be the order of the day at the Theatre of Dreams.
TheHardTackle’s BLAST FROM THE PAST


IIRC Colt New Service were offered in 5-1/4" and 7-1/2". While I have not been fooling around with Colt New Service revolvers for about 25 years, I had two in 45 Colt, a 5-1/2" that had been rechambered from 455 Eley, and a 7-1/2" that had been rechambered from 38-40 (both before they came to me), and I worked on many of them. Never say anything shorter than 5-1/2" factory barrel, although I saw many of them that had been shortened for carry. The easy way to tell if the barrel has been shortened is the lettering on the barrel, it is pretty much centered lengthwise on the barrel, and the Colt DA 45 marking is towards the frame on the left side.
The best way to tell the old nickel is that it is kind of yellowish, more modern nickel is brighter with no yellowing. I have never seen a Colt New Service factory nickeled, but it would not surprise me if they made them.

Is this the end for orange train tickets?
The end is nigh... for train tickets, at least! Train companies are scrapping the old familiar orange tickets in a quest to make ticketing 'more flexible'.
Anyone who's ever been on a train anywhere across the UK will recognise them immediately – those trusty little orange cards containing all the details you need for your train journey, at just the right size to fit snuggly into your wallet.
But train companies across the UK have begun taking first steps at rolling out a new ticket system that will see these orange cards replaced by paper receipt-style tickets instead!
They'll start off by dishing these receipt-style tickets out to passengers buying tickets who are already on board the train, but the plan is to make these the norm in the near future.
How the new tickets work
Credit: Derek BridgesThe new style of ticket receipt has already started being used in Wales, on the Cardiff-Treherbert line, to any passengers buying tickets from an onboard conductor.
More rail companies, including Scotrail and Chiltern Railways, are expected to follow suit in the coming months.
A spokesperson for Arriva explained how the new tickets will work:
The ticket itself will contain exactly the same information. The big change will be it is no longer printed on the same orange card. What you get will be probably very similar to what you get at a restaurant, a printer paper receipt.
The receipt will have a barcode that will allegedly open ticket barriers when scanned, but some concerned passengers have already pointed out that not all ticket barriers will be able to read a barcode scan so will need to be upgraded to suit the new system.
Why ditch the orange tickets?
The Department for Transport told train companies earlier this year to come up with more modern alternative ticketing options, and paper tickets are set to be just one of many future updates in response to this.
Word on the street is that replacing orange tickets with paper receipts will make ticketing 'more flexible', but exactly how the will do this is yet to be explained.
What is clear, however, is that the barcode option is a step further towards digitalising train tickets.
Is transport ticketing going digital?
With ticket barriers having to be upgraded to accept these barcode readings, it's likely that the next step will be something closer to London's Oyster card system, where passengers can simply tap in and out at the barrier using a pre-paid Oyster card, contactless bank card or even just by using their mobile phone (for those with apple pay).
According to Mike Hewitson, who is head of policy at Transport Focus, digital forms of ticketing also make it "easier for train companies to offer discounts."
But again, an explanation of exactly how digitalising tickets will do this still remains to be seen. We'll keep you posted on this one!
In the meantime, we've got some great tips on how to get cheap train tickets right here.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk becomes the world’s wealthiest person with a net worth of 188.5 billion dollars. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a ranking of the world’s 500 wealthiest people, On Thursday Musk surpassed Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, who has held the position since 2017. According to a Bloomberg report, Elon Musk’s net worth has soared by more than 150 billion dollars, over the past year, which is possibly the fastest bout of wealth creation in history.
The South Africa-born engineer is currently the chief executive of SpaceX, Tesla Motors and chairman of SolarCity. Mr Musk’s reaction was strange, in one of his tweets, he said “How strange” and “well, back to work…” over the news of becoming the wealthiest person on the planet.
In an interview last month, Musk said he wants to spend his wealth to build a city on Mars, and he has little interest in material things. In another tweet from 2018, he explains “About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth & half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure the continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor as the dinosaurs or WW3 happens & we destroy ourselves”.
His company SpaceX is almost ready to send people on Mars and to build a permanent human settlement on Mars with its huge Starship rocket in 2024.
Elon Musk’s company Tesla Motors has broken a record, and after replacing Facebook, it has become the world’s 5th most valuable company in the S&P 500. On Thursday, Tesla shares jumped to hit a record high of $802.75 after opening higher at $777.63 against the previous closing price of $755.98.
49-year-old Elon Musk was born in South Africa and also held citizenship of the US and Canada. He completed his studies from Ontario and the state of Pennsylvania.
From a very early age, he had an interest in technology. At the age of 25, he had created Zip2, which is an online advertising platform and when he sold his company to Compaq Computer, he became a millionaire at the age of 30 and over the period he has become more successful.

I’m an open, honest and down-to-earth guy. I’m 41 years old but the problem is I like women who are much younger than me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t pick up girls that are under 18 years old. They are legal! Still, much younger.
So my question to you is: is is wrong for me to date younger girls instead of dating women my own age?
Dear Male Cougar,
As long as you’re not breaking the law, there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with dating younger women. There is, however, this: you’re 41 and not getting any younger, buddy!
Sorry to be so blunt, but hombre you’re an hombre! I’m not telling you to get with a 60-year-old, but what about someone that’s at your emotional level, that’s had similar life experiences, that knows themselves a bit more and what they want as well? This is the kind of woman you should seek to date.
I don’t care how mature a woman can be at 21 or 25 (your discretion with dispelling their age tells me they’re probably closer to 21); she isn’t as mature as she needs to be to be with a man that is in his 40s. Now, if you want to have fun and be the single 40-something-year-old man that’s picking up young, hot women at clubs, live you life! But remember this: most of these younger women will see you as the old dude that they can mooch off. Prepare to spend mucho dinero on drinks, dinners and drinks!
Does an open, honest, down-to-earth 41-year-old man really want this to be his existence? You decide.
Love strongly and wisely,

Books have always played an important role in our evolutionary path. As guardians of information they helped us keep record of our findings, in all fields of knowledge, from science to philosophy, literature or history, and pass them on to others.
Along with playing many roles, that of best friend and companion included, books have changed both readersâ minds and their own appearance and style with the passing of time.
In past years, a massive decline in book reading was pointed out, as paperbacks have been replaced by Radio, TV and the Internet. The increase in versatility of choice and public access to TV and the Internet have literary smothered the paperback industry.
Well, until eBooks were invented that is.
In case you donât know what an eBook is, the term eBook (also spelled as e book, ebook or e-book ) stands for electronic book and it refers to any book that is available in digital form. Some eBooks are simply the electronic variant of a paperback, while some books are solely published in electronic copy.
EBooks were first regarded with disbelief by a large segment of the public, and their chances for success were surrounded by plenty of doubt. But time has proved negative critics wrong, and recently published sales statistics have done so as well.
Since eBooks came out, they have been rapidly gaining a broader and broader public world-wide. Proof to this is the fact that in 2012 the eBook market was valued at $374.8 million in the US alone.
This year things are looking even brighter, with the Association of American Publishers (AAP) announcing a 5% market growth, from $374.8 to $393.6 million in the States.
These days almost any book that comes in print is launched together with a downloadable eBook version.
How have eBooks saved reading you might ask? Well, for one, eBooks have made reading cool again by bringing it to the new age of wide range technological developments. EBooks have taken reading from a deadlock, dusted it off and introduced it to the â.com Eraâ.
You might counter by saying that being able to buy books online was possible before also. Thatâs true, but the difference is that now, when you buy books online, they arrive at your place in the space of seconds, wherever you are and whenever you decide to make a purchase.
An online bookshop is also a much less costly place to shop compared to a real-life one. Buying EBooks online means buying cheap books online, as they sometimes cost even 90% less compared to paperbacks.
There you have it: eBooks have made reading more accessible, much cheaper and way cooler! Visit ReadCheaper.com for the best offers on eBooks and start building your own virtual library!

POTTSTOWN – A new timepiece recently installed at the Charles W. Dickinson Transportation Center, off North Hanover Street at Queen Street, was donated to honor the soldiers who once used the train platform to leave for war.
The World War II Dance Committee and Pottstown Area Rapid Transit paid for the clock which is mounted on a pillar outside the station. The dance committee raised money for the clock from 14 swing dances held at Sunnybrook Ballroom in Lower Pottsgrove.
The clock was donated in remembrance of all veterans. It was installed recently by Rick Oxenford of Off the Top Landscaping, Justin Albright of J. Albright Construction and Steve Patten of Patten Construction.

Mysterious Mass Animal Deaths Headlines Jan-Mid February 2017
This is the latest global update of mass animal deaths around the world at the beginning of 2017. These are incidences classed as Mass Animal Deaths or Mass Animal Die Offs. Scientists still have no real explanation of what is causing these deaths around the globe amongst many varied species of animals on land, in the sea and in the air. As yet humans have not been affected.
This is part of a NEW category at this website called “Prophecy News”
Causes being cited vary from virus or bacterial infection, extreme weather, rising pollution and contaminants, Fukushima and general climate change maybe being too rapid for animals to adapt??
Mass Animal Deaths caused by culling of animals due to Bird Flu and trying to contain that disease, or deaths from pollution or contaminants, these incidences have not been added to this list as they are man made events.
Many say these mass animal deaths are definitely Biblical in nature defying any rational explanation. Are we seeing End Times Bible Prophecy unfolding in our times before our very eyes? Hosea and Ezekiel warned about such times, with the infamous verses by Hosea 4:1-3 and also Ezekiel 38:19-20 and Zephaniah 1:3 giving details thousands of years ago.
1. Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
19. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20. So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Some say this prophecy has been fulfilled and a third of sea life has been destroyed others disagree including myself, but Revelation 8 along with the other prophecies looks to be manifesting itself around the globe for sure. A third of the ships destroyed? No evidence of that yet?

Abstract In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Act transferred federal responsibilities for non-military aviation from the Bureau of Air Commerce to a new, independent agency, the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The legislation also gave the authority the power to regulate airline fares and to determine the routes that air carriers would serve. In 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt split the authority into two agencies, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil...

Happy St, Patricks day and birthday to Kathryn! I had a fun time doing my first topsy turvy cake! I learned alot but for my first one I think it turned out pretty good :) This one was red velvet....mmmm! One of my favorites.
Saturday, March 17, 2012
Paycen's Jurassic Park birthday cake for his 11th! I didn't do fondant for this one and was quite pleased with the outcome. For the Jurassic Park symbol I used a black sugar sheet, it took alot of detailed cutting but was so worth the finished result! He also wanted his favorite color orange incorpoated into the cake so I made the top layer white cake dyed orange. I tried to make it look like the volcano was exploding with the long candles. I loved the creativity I got to use on this one :)
Spiderman cake I made for Liam's 4th birthday! I was very pleased with how this one turned out, the only thing that would have made it better was if I could have gotten the cake a darker blue. He loved it though and I was happy to get the webbing done!
One of my very first tiered cakes, I made this for my beautiful niece Jada for her 14th birthday! The top layer was white cake and the bottom layer was chocolate just how she wanted it ;) I think I did pretty good for my first attempt at a tiered cake!
I have decided I want to be more ambitious and share my talents with others! So to start off with I will be doing birthday, wedding and specialty cakes at a very reasonable prices. Eventually I want to be an event planner/coordinator so if your interested in more than just cakes let me know!


Designed to lay flat so you can use your computer to explore the various artists ideas on your own computer, the binding is strong enough to withstand a lot of stress so it won't crack and leave pages falling out. Review is hands-down the foremost application for 3D digital sculpting. By Alexandra Reeves, Ran Manolov, Paul Braddock et al. Professional artists like Chris Legaspi and Mario Anger offer advice and techniques for anyone working through these lessons who want to learn anatomy fast. I don't recognize any of the creators here, but that doesn't mean their work isn't outstanding, it just means I don't know who's out there creating this kind of imagery for gaming, films, animation, and even statues. However it is recommended that you know your way around some basic 3D software before picking up this book. This book is absolutely massive with 480 pages jam-packed full of tutorials and practical exercises for all skill levels.
It's somewhat like what you see in the better concept artbooks except they are all 3D. It's a delight to see so much beautiful and compelling art being created. Not only is the book beautifully crafted with high-quality illustrations, but it's well bound and will last a long time even with heavy usage. From rough models molded in digital clay, t Sketches are the foundations of great art, where thoughts and concepts first come to life as an image, and the process is no different for a 3D artist. . The book contains some nudity.
One thing to note is they are all character designs, things like creatures, aliens, mechs and basically other lifeforms. It would have been more awesome if the characters could be in those action poses commonly used by toy manufacturers. One thing that is particularly good is the binding of the book. There are artists from all nationalities present: asian artists like Xin Gao and Jia Hao, Canadian artists like Taissia Abdoullina, British artists James W. The layout of the book is excellent. Publisher's Introduction: Get a glimpse inside the minds of the masters as brings together the 3D sketches of 50 incredible digital artists in an inspiring display of talent and technique. As a non-artist, I find it fascinating to see fully-realized digitally sculpted 3D images that are amazingly lifelike and beautifully done.
Sketches are the foundations of great art, where thoughts and concepts first come to life as an image, and the process is no different for a 3D artist. Looking at bumps and textures of the skin is perhaps nothing too surprising in this book because the artists have a minimal standard to uphold. I would only recommend this for the Blender novice who wants to learn the software before diving into deep 3D modeling. Digital Sculpting with Mudbox Autodesk owns a bunch of 3D modeling software and one of their more specific programs is. The goal is to create lifelike models that feel incredibly realistic. For 3D artists of all abilities looking to try new approaches and searching for inspiration, this book is a first-class anthology of stunning images, invaluable tips, and artistic insights that will leave any creative mind wanting more. This book does not assume any prior knowledge with specific software and it offers advice on all the best programs: Maya, 3ds Max, , and many others.
It serves as an inspiration and refuels the drive. This is, once again, not strictly a 3D modeling book. Instead you have to know what you want to learn and what type of program s you feel comfortable using. The work featured is amazing. It covers a lot of the fundamentals while touching upon production environments for 3D modelers. Sketches are the foundations of great art, where thoughts and concepts first come to life as an image, and the process is no different for a 3D artist. Target Audience Group Trade Classification Method Dewey Decimal 006.
Blender Master Class Another insanely popular 3D modeling program is. There's a lot of variety in the designs which is great because, well, there are 50 artists included. The problem is that once you have gotten your nifty new product, the From The Imagination Zbrush gets a brief glance, maybe a once over, but it often tends to get discarded or lost with the original packaging. There is an honest enthusiasm and desire to share that enthusiasm that comes across very clearly in each artists presentation. Packed with useful tips and creative insights, this book is an invaluable resource that will inspire 3D artists of all abilities. The early chapters explain the basics of this process and why entertainment artists should learn modeling. Packed with useful tips and creative insights, this book is an invaluable resource that will inspire 3D artists of all abilities.
This book is one part reference guide, one part instruction series, and one part masterclass with advanced projects you can do at home. Learning Blender Another book I recommend for open source modeling is written by Oliver Villar. This book is a nice read for beginners and intermediate modelers since it delves into some real complex territory. If you have zero experience with modeling and have a copy of Mudbox then you can learn all the fundamentals with this book. Most of them are in the normal standing pose. This can work closely with Maya since the majority of Maya users are technical designers, but Mudbox users are mostly artists and sculptors. It is not meant to be a guide to the software but a means of helping you explore its, and consequentially your own, possibilities.
I know 3D modeling is slightly different in every program so there is no absolute best book here. Packed with useful tips and creative insights, this book is an invaluable resource that will inspire 3D artists of all abilities. As a non-artist, I find it fascinating to see fully-realized digitally sculpted 3D images that are amazingly lifelike and beautifully done. Be sure to visit the for pricing information and coverage of more books and services provided by this innovative company. In this unique follow-on from the popular Sketching from the Imagination series, you'll discover an array of subject matter and styles, from rough models molded in digital clay, to entire characters, creatures, machines, monsters, and more. This makes it a fantastic choice for newcomers who just want to learn the ropes of 3D modeling without spending any money. These are the folks that do that, and I'll bet some of these guys have appeared in the Spectrum annuals, since the level of work here is as good as the award-winners we see each year in Spectrum.

I’ll find a place to sleep.
I look at the sky and see stars.
I’m a night- stalker,claw-slasher.
I’ll scurry along the walls and fences.
I’m a mouse-hunter that is my prey.
I’ll dash into cat flaps looking for food.
I want an owner since I’m a stray.
I have fur as soft as a cushion.
I’ll meow cutely and everyone loves me.
I’m a meat-eater wanting to devour a mouse.
I quietly stroll across the streets.

Between October 1941 and the end of
March 1942, Warships Weeks were organised in cities, towns and villages
throughout Great Britain. The intention was to raise a sum by
investment or deposit in all types of war savings representing the cost
of building one of His Majesty’s ships ranging from the smallest to the
largest vessels. Once the target had been raised the community adopted
the vessel along with its crew and the bond was strengthened by
presentations in recognition of the money raised. Adoption plaques were
presented by the Admiralty to the community and a plaque presented by
the community to the adopted vessel. Links were maintained by the
writing of letters and the provision of comforts and whenever possible
visits were arranged to the adopting area.
Most of the V&W Class
destroyers in commission with the Royal Navy were adopted during the
Warship Week scheme and in a number of cases local sea cadet units
later took the name of the ship. To
find more about Warship Weeks see Peter Schofield’s article on‘National Savings and Warship Weeks’and the county guide to towns which adopted V & W Class destroyers throughout Britain.
The main purpose of this web page is to remind the people of Wilmslow of their wartime links with HMS Winchelsea
and to try and see that the plaques exchanged by the town and their
adopted ship after the success of their Warship Week are treated with
respect and can be seen by the public in an appropriare place
such as the Town Hall or Museum. It is also my hope that it will
encourage the families of the men who served in Winchelsea
to visit Wilmslow. This can only be achieved with the support of
the officers and councillors of the town and by enlisting the support
of the wider community through publicity in local media. Please contact me if you would like to help.

Wilmslow is ....
a brief description of Wilmslow
HMS Winchelsea ....
a brief outline of the service of HMS Winchelsea as an interim measure until the ship has her own pages
I am hoping
that a naval enthusiast or local historian in Wilmslow will take up
the challenge of researching the history of HMS Winchelsea from her first commission in
1919 to going to the breakers yard. For further
details see the guidance given here then contact Bill Forster for more
The adoption of HMS Winchelsea by Wilmslow 7 - 14 March 1942
Our main source of informtion about Warship Week in Wilmslow are the articles in the Alderley and Wilmslow Advertiser which
covered the lead-up to Warship Week and the follow-up between 1941 and
1947 when the plaques were returned to Wilmslow by the Admiralty anf
put on dosplay in Green Hall, the former home of William Paulden (183 -
1918) a large landowner and wealthy draper, which became the Wilmslow
Council Ofices. Green Hall was destroyed by fire in 1978 and at present
the fate of the plaques exchanged by Wilmslow and HMS Winchelsea after Warships Week in 1942 is not known but must be assumed to have been destroyed in the fire.

I find photographing sunsets to be unusually difficult. One problem is that the dynamic range of the view far surpasses what any camera can capture. As anyone who has taken a photo of a sunset knows, the preview image shown on your camera's LCD never lives up to what you see before you (I can't help think how film photographers without immediate feedback were more blissfully ignorant of this fact).
Another problem is that the sunset is constantly changing, so I always have the urge to keep snapping, never sure at which moment it has truly met its peek. Well, at least I have a solution to this last problem, which is to shoot video of a sunset and then speed it up, giving you 408 sunset snapshots in this 17 second HD video. Another benefit to this approach is that rather than think about taking picture after picture of a sunset, I can relax and take it all in while the camera does the work.

The last days of 2017, and the first of 2018, have been a game of musical catch-up as I try to both wind down and wind up with some records I missed last year.
Among those I’ve spent time with: “La Saboteuse” by Yazz Ahmed, a record which crossed my radar thanks to the recommendation of one of my favorite jazz writers, and all-around good guy, Dave Sumner.
Sumner lauded the latest from this British Bahraini artist as one of the superlative jazz releases of 2017. Writing in his role at Bandcamp, he said:
“This mix of Arabic, post-bop and soundscaping is both a statement of who Yazz Ahmed is as a musician, and a treatise on how modern jazz can look to its roots and to the future, simultaneously.”
Per usual, Sumner is right. This is a special record that, in keeping with jazz tradition, weaves and wraps multiple cultures together as it looks ahead to a more humane, ecumenical art.
Some quick background on Ahmed: The trumpet and flugelhorn player has worked with and led a number of jazz acts, and has also guested with powerhouse bands such as Radiohead. A bridge-builder and cultural ambassador, she appeared on behalf of Bahrain at London’s Cultural Olympiad in 2012, and has performed in both her home countries as well as numerous other sites around the globe.
Ahmed’s unified, integrated approach isn’t just about bringing the parts of her own history together. She has worked with jazz artists from across Europe in cultural collaboration, and has written works to honor strong women who came before her and inspired her.
On “La Saboteuse,” released on the UK-based Naim label, Ahmed presents a sort-of culminating work that joins all her interests and influences to date. The work intersperses fragmentary, experimental compositions with more enfleshed works that find room to roam over a span of seven or eight minutes.
The overtones and atmosphere of neo-chamber music is present, as are the forward motion and rich textures of modern jazz. The arrangements here grant Ahmed the freedom to express a complex range of emotion and manifest her imagination.
Lithe guitars carry melodies along; auxiliary percussion chimes and clangs; drums crackle and pop; good vibes lend brightness and buoyancy. Those instruments frame Ahmed’s playing; she delivers lines that smolder, melodies that wind, passages that shake, rattle and roll.
Some of the record’s passages feel like self-contained travelogues, putting one foot before the other; others swell in such a way as to envelop the listener.
“La Saboteuse” might have hit the atmosphere last year, but it announces Ahmed as a force to be reckoned with in 2018 and beyond. The strength of her playing and vision, the way that she joins a collaborative spirit and personal confidence, make her the kind of artist that can shape the jazz scene in more than one place at a time.

Could knowing how to navigate without a compass help you avoid suffocating crowds in the Hamptons this summer? If so, you’re in luck.
Made-over Montauk resort Gurney’s has been repositioning itself as a wellness destination over the past year, with on-site Row House classes over the summer, a partnership with Suja juice to offer green blends to guests, and retreats hosted by cool wellness brands like Exhale and Yoga for Bad People.
This year, they’re raising the bar with their “2015 Reboot” program that will further expand the hotel’s fitness offerings, through events with Lululemon, Brick CrossFit…and TV survivalist Bear Grylls.
Grylls’ “Survival Academy” will take place from February 28–March 1 and May 1–2 and will teach you the backwoods life skills necessary for self-rescue, like how to “start a fire, purify water, catch, prepare, and eat wild food, navigate without a compass, and avoid hypothermia.”
So, you know, next time you’re surfing Ditch Plains, you can catch your lunch without ever leaving your board, and then light your own bonfire without running home for matches. —Lisa Elaine Held
