Shawn McDonald: A Hippie Reborn

By Zsa Zsa Palagyi
The 700 Club Think hippies are just a thing of the past? They’re not. Meet singer/songwriter Shawn McDonald.

“I used their lifestyle to justify mine,” he says. “They say you can’t physically be addicted to marijuana but I think I was, at least mentally addicted, because I couldn’t stop.”

Shawn was a modern day hippie -- whose only ambition in life was to get high.

Shawn McDonald“Picture me. I’m out on the streets, dealing every day,” he says. “That’s what I did from morning to night. I was really wrapped up in the rave scene, doing a lot of ecstasy, staying up for a week at a time. I was hoping that somehow these highs that I was getting would eventually fulfill me or take me to a place where life was right.”

Up until this point, life had been far from “right” for Shawn. His parents had abandoned him as a baby and even though his grandparents adopted him, Shawn still felt like something was missing.

“One of the main questions was just whether or not I was lovable,” he says. “I always felt like there was something wrong with me because my parents chose not to raise me. My confusion and my hurt eventually turned into just anger and bitterness.”

Shawn grew numb to his parents, his grandparents, and -- with the help of a little marijuana-- to his pain.

“I was looking for purpose. I was looking for love. I was looking for anything that would fill me in those times, and that’s why I was doing all the drugs and partying all the time. It was like a menial satisfaction. Eventually in there, I started getting spiritual, too.”

You name it, Shawn tried it: witchcraft, Hinduism, yoga meditation, and even Rastafarianism.

“I was really into Bob Marley,” he says. “I was really into his way of thinking. I thought it was really cool how he could smoke weed and speak of God and do his own thing. I really embraced that.”

There was only one problem…

“I can’t really say it did anything for me,” he says.

So, Shawn kept living the hippie life. When a friend in his college dorm invited him to church, he declined. He’d been exposed to Christianity before…

“It seemed like people just believed in it to make themselves feel better. It didn’t seem like it was real,” he says.

That is until Shawn had an unexpected encounter of his own. It happened right after his second drug bust. He had just been let out on bail.

“I said, ‘God, if You’re real, if You’re out there, then say something. Speak to me. Show up. Do something.’”

His GrandmotherShawn pulled out the Bible his grandmother had given him as a boy.

“I started to read,” he says. “The scripture I was reading was talking about cleaning the demons out of my house. For the first time, all I could think of was that the drugs were my demons. This scared me enough to where I was going to listen. I’m going to get rid of everything. And so I did.”

Shawn emptied his house of drugs. Two days later, the police showed up with a search warrant. Of course, they found nothing!

“I think that was when I realized something bigger was happening here.”

So Shawn took his friend up on his offer to go to church, and let Jesus Christ take control of his life. What he got in return was more than he had bargained for.

“It was a pure high. I can’t explain it other than His presence was in my body and just this satisfaction and peace that I’d never experienced before to the point where all of a sudden I didn’t desire all that other stuff,” he says. “That’s when I said no more. No more drugs, no more of this lifestyle, and dropped everything and started running in the other direction.”

Things didn't change overnight for Shawn. He still had to spend one month in jail for previous charges. Since his housemate was dealing drugs, he faced daily temptations at home. Shawn's solution? To move in with a Christian friend who understood his challenge and could help steer him in the right direction. After this, Shawn’s drug days were completely over and everything in his life turned around. His praying grandmother can vouch for that.

“I don’t know how to tell you but it’s from bad to good,” says his grandmother. “It’s just like a different man. No one will ever convince me that God doesn’t do things in people’s lives because he’s just a different person.”

Shawn’s rage was replaced with love, kindness, and compassion: qualities that show up in Shawn’s songs.

With a voice like his, you’d think Shawn’s been making music for years, but that’s not so. Before his encounter with Christ, Shawn never picked up a guitar. But his passion took him far. Today, Shawn McDonald is a top Christian recording artist.

The McDonaldsHe just got married and is learning about God’s love in a brand new way. He says he’s also learning about his great need for God’s mercy.

“When it comes down to it, I’m not worthy of mercy,” he says. “I’m worthy of death, and yet God, for some reason, invests His life into us and decides He would bestow mercy upon us and teach us what true life really is."

Bella Hadid born on third, but still thinks she hit a triple

Bella Hadid tells the new issue of InStyle that her wealth and fame are  entirely of her own doing, with no help from her parents at all. Yikes. Christmas dinner is gonna be awkward this year.

“I’m not saying I don’t love my job, but people think modeling is a bullshit thing to become more famous. I was 100 percent independent by the time I was 18, and I paid for my own apartment. That wasn’t because of my parents. I worked my ass off for two years.”

I completely agree with Bella on this. I found a job listing on Craigslist for runway model in Milan when I was 16, too. Naturally I applied and got the job on account of my handsomeness, but I simply couldn’t cut it. I lasted two weeks. Bella, on the other hand, filled out that job application for runway model, was luckily hired, and thrived at it, with no help from her billionaire dad and famous mom. Independent kids forever!

Sony Ericsson W902
Image by Virgile Fontain

Sony Ericsson W902 Review

Some phones are better in reality than in the picture. I had seen on the W902 picture many times, and thought it looked giant boring out, before I finally got it in my hand and discovered that it was really delicious. While others in my surroundings commented spontaneously that the phone is handsome.

The phone is also small and sleek and is well in hand. If it had been a little rubber-like in the surface instead of hard plastic, it would have been perfect. The buttons are good and are comfortable pressing, but the size of the keys is probably the smallest I have ever seen on a mobile, so W902 is probably nothing for people who need to start bifocals.

But enough about the look, let us turn on the phone. W902 is a java mobile, which means that the software installed on your phone are fewer and more limited than on a smartphone. In return, usually java phones are perceived as easier to use than smartphones.

When it comes to easy, there is in my opinion, no one surpasses Sony Ericsson. It has honed the traditional phone menu with quick buttons and a main menu with nine choices to perfection. Take those small details that the smart phone when you start dialing a number from the phonebook, the options that match the number, the phone asks if you want a new number in the phone book, or that it can hold one of the keys to come directly to the the letter in the phone book. These functions can also turn off and on the whims and fancies.

In return, the system may feel a little slow in certain situations. In this phone, it mainly on the motion sensor that turns the screen for how to keep it. It may take a few seconds for the phone to perform, and, it feels as if it had gone faster if I made it myself. Besides turning the screen used the motion sensor in the game Need for Speed can steer by tilting the phone, and in a simpler step counting program.

But before we go in to your mobile other programs, perhaps we should take a look at the music functions. For this is after all a Walkman Mobile and Sony Ericsson are taking more money for mobiles, Walkman-stamp, which will be a guarantee that cell phone provides a superior music experience.

And, at least with the mobile standard, it is true. W902 has the latest version of the Walkman player, who with the possible exception of Iphones is the best you can get on a mobile phone. Powerful support for playlists is, the volume can be adjusted in fine step, and the music fade in and out at the break tion.

The Walkman player comes to having a special button on the top. I would liked to be when you press the walkman button again will be back where it was before, but that’s unfortunately not. The phone also has buttons on the side for volume, pause and to jump between songs.

Sony Ericsson is generous with the accessories. It ships with a memory of 8 GB in the package. The supplied headphones are also among the best that comes with a mobile phone, although I hear the difference immediately when I instead plug in my Sennheiser-deluding. This is done with the included adapter for 3.5 mm jack. Many hate adapter, but personally I have never understood why. It sits on the cord, takes no position and needed anyway if I should speak on the phone with lurarna.

However, I can also irritate me on the headset connection is on the side of the cell phone instead of the bottom. Cable goes out sideways from the contact, making it a hook that is made to stick in when you take the phone out of your pocket.

The camera is well-phone the other major selling point. Walkman and 5-megapixelkamera sounds like the perfect combination. But there is a camera with dieting functionality compared to that of Sony Ericsson’s Cybershot phones. I will, alas, not particularly impressed by the image result. As so often mobile images good outdoors in good light, but indoors or outdoors gråmulen a day for that matter, they quickly problems with the sharpness despite the extra strong photo light.

It is not a bad camera, but not better than many 3.2-megapixel cameras. I belong to those who think that a kameramobil should have the right lens cover, I always manage to put fingerprints on the lens with catastrophic images that result. After handling of the images, however, is excellent, with good overview with thumbnails in the photo album and the possibility that with one click send the image to Blogger.

The cell phone has turbo-3g, but as in many other new Sony Ericsson phones Berka be small si, and so to get the network to understand it. In which case it feels a little rubbery mobile browser, even though the updated version is approaching Nokia in functionality.

What makes the phone feels well might instead mainly extra programs. They are small as a bag of smågodis, each program might just add a little to the experience, but the whole satisfactory.

First we have Walkman classics TrackID (to find out what song played at the gym or the diner with astonishing precision) and Sense Me (sort your songs by mood). Step counter, I have mentioned. Programs Music-Video and Photo-DJ provides good opportunities for media editing. Photo lamp can be used as a reassuringly strong flashlight.

Accuweather is a nice weather program, and YouTube mobile client works really well to view Youtube clips on mobile phones. Google Maps will give you maps and decent mobile positioning without GPS. Here you can also mention that the program for e-mail on mobile phones are among the best and most transparent available for mobiles. Too bad that there is no document reader attached office files, it needs a smartphone.

It will probably not see this phone as the ultimate combination of music and kameramobil, but if you want to have a smooth Walkman with as many features as possible, this is a good choice. My main objection is that the phone feels a little slow, and also a little unstable. During the time I test it happen to me out of various bugs, and several times the start of the phone itself. Children’s Diseases which will be fixed with software updates for sure, but still worth a warning.

Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers

Doesn’t “palmier” just sound as though you’re eating something elegant?  These little pastries pair perfectly with an afternoon coffee, or with milk when the hooligans want an afterschool snack.  And you can feel all fancy making and serving them, even though they’re super simple, using store-bought puff pastry dough.

I shaped these into hearts (they usually don’t have that little point at the bottom, but look heartlike anyway) and thought the fry boxes I recently snagged from made a perfect container, with a couple of paper doilies as liners.

Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers

1 box (2 sheets) puff pastry dough, thawed overnight in the refrigerator

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar

1. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.  On a sheet of parchment or wax paper, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the cinnamon sugar and lay a sheet of pastry on it.  Roll just slightly, maybe stretching it by 1/2” per side. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar evenly over the dough.Palmiers-Sheet

2. Roll from either side to center and transfer to a small baking sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat with other sheet of dough, then place both rolls in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Don’t clean up the rolling’ll need that leftover cinnamon sugar.Palmiers-Rolled

3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove rolls from freezer and slice in a little less than 1/2” slices. Dip each side of each slice in the leftover cinnamon sugar (see, I told you you’d need it!) and place on an ungreased baking sheet, 2” apart. When all the slices are on the baking sheet, pinch the tip to make a heart shape.  Palmiers-Pinched

4. Bake for 8 minutes, then use a thin metal spatula to flip them over and bake another 6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Simple, right?  And who doesn’t love flaky, buttery, cinnamon-sugary deliciousness, especially when they’re just a tiny bit warm from the oven?  So make a batch and spread the love, people!

Chemistry Building, Room 400

Transition metal chalcogenides are a class of van der Waals materials displaying interesting electronic properties that depend on both the transition metal and the chalcogenide involved as well as the observed polymorph. Transition metal dichalcogenides, MX2, are quasi-2D materials that can vary electronically from semiconductors to metallic-like conductors, with some displaying superconductivity and charge density wave behaviors. MX2 materials consist of X-M-X layers where the metal centers are in an octahedral or trigonal prismatic configuration.1-2 Transition metal trichalcogenides, MX3, exhibit lower dimensionality structurally as quasi-1D materials consisting of MX6 trigonal prismatic chains. They do, however, show similar electronic properties including metallic-like conductivity, superconductivity, and charge density waves. These properties depend on orientation of the MX chains in the unit cell which changes depending on the metal and chalcogenide.3-4

For future electronics applications, it is important to understand the synthesis, characterization, manipulation and properties of MX2 and MX3 materials at the nanoscale. This talk focuses on the oxidative behavior of two important MX2’s, 1T-TiSe2 and 1T-TaSe2, as well as the synthesis and exfoliation behavior of a metallic MX3, TaSe3. The oxidation of 1T-TiSe2 and 1T-TaSe2 resulted in the onset of oxidation near 300 °C for both MX2’s. Under a critical temperature, 400 °C for 1T-TiSe2 and 700 °C for 1T-TaSe2, a self-limiting, surface oxidation was observed, analogous to previous studies with WSe2.5 TaSe3 was also successfully synthesized and characterized with special attention paid to the chemical exfoliation behavior and crystallinity. Partial exfoliation was achieved leading to highly crystalline belts6-7 up to several microns in length and reaching a minimum width of ~5 nm.

Sandbach and Crewe - are they the new destinations for foodies in Cheshire

PUBLISHED: 10:30 16 February 2017 | UPDATED: 10:30 16 February 2017

Sandbach and Crewe are flying the flag for good food. Emma Mayoh discovers there’s quite a tradition for it here.

Sandbach Makers Market event manager, Kayleigh Dixon Sandbach Makers Market event manager, Kayleigh Dixon

There was a time when chips and jam roly poly were about all you’d expect in a college canteen. But not in Crewe. The Academy Restaurant and Deli, at South Cheshire College, dispels all the stereotypes usually associated with school meals.

The training restaurant would look more at home in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. It’s a place for hospitality and cookery students to hone real skills for the world of work. With the help of lecturers, the students cook for customers on campus, including visitors, staff and pupils, as well as for special occasions and live music evenings. They also provide outside catering for Nantwich Town Football Club, supply baked goods to local shops and cater for weddings, funerals and corporate functions. It is a training and grounding that former chef and faculty director, Mark Parsons believes is essential.

The pupils are guided by lecturers including former Rookery Hall chef Shane Guildford and Daniel Hunter who has over 15 years in the industry. The restaurant was set up with the help of young chef Luke Thomas who has Luke’s Eating House and Gin Rickey’s Bar in Chester as well as Retro Feasts in Dubai. He continues to work with students to maximise their potential along with other guest chefs.

The Academy Restaurant and Deli also provides premises to other independent producers and suppliers including The Jaunty Goat Coffee Company, based in Chester. The restaurant supplies apprentices to all Brunning and Price’s pubs and restaurants in the UK.

James Lea, deputy managing director at Mornflake James Lea, deputy managing director at Mornflake

The students’ efforts were recognised when the restaurant and deli was awarded a Highly Commended AA College Rosette and declared a Centre of Excellence for Service. It was commended for its service and food and for its collaboration with local companies including Rodney Densem Wines, who host wine evenings, the restaurant’s catering for Nantwich Town and also providing cakes for Marks and Spencer Money in Chester, through a partnership with Oswestry-based The Little Food Company.

Mark said: ‘It’s the equivalent of getting two AA rosettes in the industry and it’s such an incredible thing for us to have done. These achievements set the bar high regionally, both as a training college and as a restaurant.’

Students Matt Evans said: ‘Studying here and getting this experience is invaluable for my own progress.The whole experience is preparing me for my future in the workplace. I want to go all the way and work in the top kitchens. I want to be a head chef and succeed at what I love. I am regular member of the team that provides catering through the college for Nantwich Football Club.’

Food is big business in Crewe and Sandbach. One of its biggest hitters is Mornflake, established in 1675 and run by the Lea family. It was first in Swettenham before moving to Sandbach– a site still used by Mornflake’s sister company. The company then moved to Crewe. It is one of the area’s major employers – as well as the UK’s fastest growing cereal brand. They have created numerous products made from oats over the years and will next year launch a new sugar-free granola, which has been five years in the making. They are also hosting international events, including one in Dubai aimed at promoting oats which can make dishes healthier.

Deputy managing director James Lea runs the firm with his father and managing director, John Lea, along with brother, Edward and cousins, John Butterworth. The former accountant rejoined the family firm around seven years ago.

‘We have to constantly evolve,’ said James, 36. ‘But it is all still based on those oats that were first milled all those years ago. It is a constant challenge to reinvent things and adapt. After the war years it was hard to sell porridge because people were fed up with it from rationing.

‘The backbone of our company is the people who work for us and the amazing Cheshire countryside that allows us to produce these incredible oats. We are so lucky. So many companies like us have moved abroad but our heritage is very important to us.

‘We are a big part of the community and support many different things. It’s a part of who we are. We wouldn’t want to be based anywhere else.’

Jake Pear, Operations Director at The Wheatsheaf Jake Pear, Operations Director at The Wheatsheaf

Down the road, in Sandbach, there is another family business working hard to transform the fortunes of one of the town’s pubs. The Wheatsheaf, in Hightown, was an old-fashioned pub in need of some tender loving care.

The former coaching inn was built in 1890 and was historically used by residents at Crewe Hall who were taken there to eat and drink. It has now been taken over by the Pear family, who own the successful Congleton restaurant, Pecks.

A huge renovation of the old building has been undertaken. Jake Pear, son of the company’s owner Andy, is the general manager of The Wheatsheaf and will use the training he received working in the family business as well as at the Australasia in Manchester, to make the new venture a success. It is hoped their Sandbach venue will be the first of a new arm of the business, the Quintessentially British Gastropub Company.

‘We had been looking for a new site for a while,’ said the 23-year-old. ‘But we hadn’t found anything that was going to work. Then we saw this building. It needed a lot of work and it was outside what we had first intended but it’s working really well.

‘We’ve been really busy from our first day open and it doesn’t show any sign of letting up. We’ve got plans for other areas of the building this year. It seems like there is a bit of a revival of top quality establishments in Sandbach. Piste is going to open soon and we have DV8. We all complement each other. It’s an exciting development and we’re pleased to be a new part of the Sandbach community.’

Sandbach Makers’ Market is a thriving local event. Taking place on the second Saturday of the month in Market Square, it was established by The Makers Market in conjunction with Sandbach Town Council and the former Sandbach Farmers’ Market.

There are dozens of local producers who sell their wares and promote their talents as well as live music and entertainment. There is a great selection of local food, drink, art and craft as well as children’s activities. The market pulls in hundreds of people each month from across the county and further afield. It’s also well supported by the local community. The Sandbach market is one of several Makers’ Markets across the north west.

Kayleigh Dixon, event manager at Sandbach, said: ‘It has a fantastic atmosphere. We have so many great producers and stallholders who love being here and people love visiting the market.

‘I’m very proud to be involved in it. Not only does it showcase what fantastic people we have here who are doing brilliant things, but it also is s great family day out and an event that really boosts trade for the other businesses in Sandbach too.’

Sugar Free Desserts: Save Calories This Summer

I’ll admit it – I’m a complete sugar-a-holic! Maybe it’s one of those things where if you actually attempt to give it up, you won’t crave it anymore, but I honestly don’t think that’s possible for me. I enjoy chocolate, sweetened tea, homemade cookies and plenty of other sugary delights far too much. But my mom is a type 1 diabetic and sticks to sugar free desserts to keep her blood sugar levels in check.

While I’m not a diabetic, it is summer and I’m sure limiting my sugar addiction would help me feel healthier, and also more energized.  I’ve decided to give sugar free desserts a try. Don’t worry, I’m not giving up on my beloved sugar anytime soon, just experimenting with the unknown.

'Book of Mormon' adding five more weeks to Pantages Theatre stop

"The Book of Mormon" has added five more weeks to its return engagement to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. A touring Broadway production of the hit musical from the creators of "South Park" is scheduled to run at the Pantages from Jan. 21 to March 16.

The Tony-winning musical initially came to the Pantages in 2012 for a 12-week run as part of the first national tour that kicked off last year in Denver. The musical has since created a second national tour, which is coming to L.A. with a cast that currently includes Nic Rouleau and Ben Platt as two bumbling missionaries sent to a remote village in Africa. Casting for the Los Angeles return is subject to change.

The original production of "Mormon" opened in 2011 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York, where it continues to be a top Broadway grosser. The musical has also opened in London at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

PHOTOS: Best in theater for 2012

"Mormon," written by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone, features racy and humorous songs that poke fun at the Mormon religion (and other faiths), as well as hot-button subjects such as female circumcision and AIDS

The musical is scheduled to play at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa from May 13 to 25, as part of the second national tour.

However, the fit was so perfect that I knew it would be a great layering piece for the winter. The material is thin enough that it goes under most things with ease. The fit is perfect as well, a perfect balance between slouch and body con."  See reviews for American Apparel suits...

China's Zhang, Li claim gold at ITTF World Tour Kuwait Open

China's Zhang, Li claim gold at ITTF World Tour Kuwait Open

KUWAIT CITY - China's table tennis star Zhang Jike and Li Xiaoxia claimed men's and women's singles titles respecitvely at the 2016 ITTF World Tour Kuwait Open on Sunday.

Zhang, the No 4 seed, has not enjoyed the best of fortunes since he won the men's singles title at the Liebherr 2013 World Championships.

Zhang beat his countrymen Ma Long, the top seed and the 2015 world Champion, in five games (11-9, 11-9, 5-11, 12-10, 11-9).

It is the sixth time that Zhang has won an ITTF World Tour men's singles title. Surprisingly, it is the first time Zhang has won since he beat Ma in the final in Kuwait in 2013.

"I think I won because of my mind-set. As teammates, we know each other very well, so it is normal that we have a close match; even though it was four-one, the four games that I won were all by the minimal two point margin," said Zhang.

Zhang beat Fan Zhendong, another Chinese, in the semi-final round in five games (11-9, 12-10, 3-11, 11-9, 11-9).

In the women's singles final, Li Xiaoxia once again beat Ding Ning to claim the top prize. Li repeated what she did in 2015 in five games (11-6, 2-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-8).

He knew that the rarity of the cancer, like most of those affecting adolescents, provides little profit motive for drug companies looking for big returns on their investments. As a result, treatment for most pediatric cancers has hardly changed over the last 40 years.

"By the time I was 17," says Ragan, "I had learned that the answer that there just wasn't enough profit in it to make finding a cure for us worthwhile wasn't good enough."

Ragan, now a Rice University student, is one of the faces of pediatric cancer, a reminder that for all the money the United States pours into researching the dreaded disease, very little goes for its youngest victims.

Six years into his fight with bone cancer that's spread to the lungs, liver and other organs, Ragan last week came off a previously untested experimental therapy he had called his "last-ditch hope."

The battle has only emboldened the relentlessly positive Ragan, himself a fundraising force and, increasingly, a public spokesman for pediatric cancer patients.

Challenge to CPRIT

Ragan this month appeared at a meeting of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, challenging it to better fund research into pediatric cancers without big markets. He urged the organization, known as CPRIT, to take up the slack left by drug companies and the National Cancer Institute, whose efforts have been reduced recently because of budget cuts.

He told the CPRIT governing board, which annually awards up to $300 million in taxpayer money, that by emphasizing future drug demand in its grant decisions, it is "missing out on an infinite number of opportunities to help the state."

Ragan's challenge came not long after the federal government took action. President Barack Obama in July signed into law legislation sponsored by Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, that provides incentives to drug companies to develop treatments for rare childhood diseases, particularly cancer. The law grants vouchers for speedier approval of profit-making medications in return for the development of unprofitable pediatric drugs.

The law targets not just profit-minded drug manufacturers but a regulatory process viewed as burdensome. A University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center doctor's drug for Ragan's bone cancer type was rejected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the late '90s, for instance, following 15 years of clinical trials because only one involved more than two institutions. European regulators approved the drug based on the same data.

Certainly, additional treatments are needed for the 12,500 U.S. children diagnosed annually with cancer. With only two new drugs approved in the past 20 years - pediatric cancer research comprises 4 percent of the NCI's budget - childhood cancer survival rates haven't changed.

400 a year afflicted

Ragan was diagnosed at 13 with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer afflicting about 400 U.S. teenagers a year, typically boys undergoing growth spurts. The diagnosis was made at a hospital in Italy, where he had gone for a tennis tournament but had been unable to compete after his knee swelled up and began causing intense pain.

In Houston two days later, M.D. Anderson confirmed the diagnosis.

"Those were the worst of times," says Ragan, bald from June chemotherapy and wistful about his once robust hair. "We had so little knowledge of what to expect, so much fear. It felt like the world was caving in on us."

Still, Ragan and his parents initially thought the ordeal would be short-lived - chemotherapy, then surgery, then a return to normalcy. But in the next six years, Ragan had two recurrences of the cancer, five surgeries, six drug regimens and the disease spread to numerous organs. Following the initial treatment, most everything's been experimental.

Ragan has succeeded academically and even athletically. He was salutatorian of his senior class in Corpus Christi and accepted to Rice, where he's studying philosophy and business.

He became a golfer

A nationally ranked tennis player before the cancer left him with a metal prosthesis for part of his leg, he took up golf and became so good he was recruited to walk on at Rice, where he recorded the squad's second best scores last fall.

He's also the impetus behind the Triumph Over Kid Cancer Foundation, which has given roughly $750,000 for cancer research.

Throughout it all, Ragan has remained philosophical about his fate.

He says he knows his battle is a losing one and hopes only for treatment to extend his life another six months. He says he's trying to make the most of his life, but figures his best hope is that his efforts "help save the next guys."

He asked the CPRIT governing board to remember his face, "the face of every Texan who dies from unprofitable pediatric cancer."

"I suppose none of you have looked into the face of a doctor, who has cared for you since you were a kid, who wants nothing more than to save your life and instead has to tell you that you have no more options and you need to go enjoy the rest of the life you have left," said Ragan. "If you could look into the face of that doctor and see that sadness and despair, then you would fund pediatric cancer research."

My favorite session to photograph is engagement sessions, especially if they are one of my future bride & grooms. I love the giddiness that is shared throughout the session, a love that is conveyed through the pictures captured are one of a kind. Wes & Cassie are just the cutest couple. I have known Cassie the majority of my life. From elementary school to high school. I was so excited that she chose me to photograph their big day. I know that she will be a stunning bride. This session was 15 minutes. We were freezing, and my fingers were numb afterwards. BUT, after looking through these. That made it so worth every minute of frost bite.

True love. Laughter& look at that gorgeous Light!

Unlike the annual mixed bag of Oscar-nominated short films, there are no clunkers among the touring program of winners and honorable mentions from this year’s Sundance Film Festival’s shorts offerings.

Its collective quality aided by fairly quick pacing — no selection is longer than 17 minutes — the smartly structured picks move well between tales of a ditzy woman who tries to spice up her dull relationship by pursuing a homeless man (“Affections”) to Senegalese immigrants hustling to survive as NYC street vendors (“Jungle”) and a lonely stop-motion fuzz puppet man reflecting on his life (“Edmond”).

The theme of looking back continues with the visually inventive documentary “Bacon & God’s Wrath,” about a much changed woman on the cusp of her 90th birthday, before giving way to “Her Friend Adam,” in which a man’s insecurities about his girlfriend leads to an epic and frequently funny argument.

The computerized paper doll animation of “The Grandfather Drum” makes it easier to stomach the fact-based tale of the Anishinabek people suffering with the encroachment of modernity, after which the program turns decidedly more playful with the deceptively disturbing “The Procedure” and merited Grand Jury recipient “Thunder Road.”

Filmed in a single take as a police officer goes through a roller-coaster of emotions while eulogizing his mother, incorporating the titular Bruce Springsteen song to memorable ends, the best is truly saved for last.

Grade: A-minus. Not rated but with adult themes and language. Starts Oct. 7 at Grail Moviehouse.

NodeBox for OpenGL » Sound

NodeBox module nodebox.sound offers a set of convenience classes and functions to work with audio in an animation. Currently, it contains a single PD class.

Pd or PureData ( is a free graphical programming environment for audio processing. Building blocks  can be connected to manipulate audio input, or generate audio output. A network of building blocks is called a "patch", for example:

The /examples/11-sound/ script shows you how to communicate with the above patch:

from import *
from nodebox.sound import PD, LOCALHOST

# start=False means that you must open Pd manually and load the patch.
# This is necessary because we'll use the Pd GUI to control the animation.
pd = PD("02-in-out.pd", start=False)
def draw(canvas):
    data = pd.get("/output", host=LOCALHOST, port=44000)
    if data:
        size, color, angle = data
        translate(250, 250)
        fill(0, color/255.0, 0)
        rect(-size/2, -size/2, size, size)
    pd.send((canvas.mouse.x, canvas.mouse.y), "/input", host=LOCALHOST, port=44001)

def stop(canvas):

canvas.size = 500, 500, stop=stop)

The PD object can be used in NodeBox to create a network connection with PureData. When a patch (i.e. a .pd file) is given and start=True, loads the Pd application with the patch silently in the background. Otherwise, communication can be established with whatever patch is open in a running Pd. The buffer parameter specifies the size in bytes of the audio buffer swapped between NodeBox and Pd. The path parameter defines the location of the PD executable. By default, a number of common locations are searched:

  • the current folder,
  • /usr/local/bin/pd (Unix),
  • /Applications/ (OS X),
  • C:\Program Files\pd\bin\pd.exe (Windows).
pd = PD(patch=None, buffer=128, options={}, start=False, path=DEFAULT)
pd.output                                  # A string of info from Pd, or None.
pd.start()                                 # Starts Pd application in background.
pd.stop() # Returns True on success.
pd.send(data, path, host=LOCALHOST, port=44000)
pd.get(path, host=LOCALHOST, port=44001)
  • PD.get() returns a list of data sent from the given path in Pd.
  • PD.send() sends the given list of data over OSC to Pd.
    The path specifies the address where Pd receives the data e.g. "/creature/perch"

Network host and ports

The default host is LOCALHOST ( but another IP-address can be given. By default, NodeBox will receive data on network port 44000 and send data to Pd on port 44001. This is a convention. In the PureData patch, we'd like you to use port 44000 for sending data and 44001 for receiving data – following the convention makes it easier for other users to see what is happening.

receive data from Pd
send data with sendOSC
send data to Pd
receive data with dumpOSC

Command-line options

Command line options can be passed to the options dictionary in the PD constructor. By default, the dictionary contains {"-nogui": None} to start Pd in the background. Other options can be found here in the Pd documentation.

Stopping Pd

If Pd is started silently in the background, it is essential that it is also stopped when the animation exits! To achieve this, simply call PD.stop() in a Canvas.stop() event - see the example script above.

Which Minion is Your Alter Ego? Take the Quiz to Find Out!

By  |

With Despicable Me 3 out in theaters now, all that’s been running through our brains lately is one group of people (creatures?) — the Minions!

Take the quiz and find out!
