For those hoping to start spending at the PlayStation Store today, I’m sorry to say the PSN Store remains closed.
Despite news that the PlayStation Store would be open today, Sony updated their PlayStation Blog bursting the bubble of a grand re-opening.
Seems the question about the re-opening has been one asked more than once with the blog post acknowledging the mass reports of a PSN Store return today. Sony instead has pointed to the end of the month for a return to digital content shopping.
For those asking about the PlayStation Store, we’re still targeting restoration of all services by the end of this month. Contrary to reports, the Store will not be publishing today.
PlayStation Network underwent maintenance earlier today to fix a series of lingering problems since the April PSN attacks.
I’m sure the news comes as disappointment for everyone (myself included) but we can take away as consolation that multi-player gaming is available which is better than nothing.

SEATTLE — Angels OF Josh Hamilton will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks because of a torn ligament in his left thumb.
The 2010 AL MVP was injured Tuesday night on a headfirst slide into first base in the seventh inning. He remained in the game but struggled with throwing balls and gripping his bat. Ian Stewart pinch-hit for Hamilton in the ninth.
"Anytime you play and you're playing hard and having fun, the last thing you want to do is do something that is going to cause you to miss time and maybe hurt your team in the long run," Hamilton said Wednesday. "If I could see the future, obviously, I wouldn't do it."
Los Angeles said an MRI exam Wednesday revealed a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.
Also, Angels LHP Sean Burnett had a throwing program shut down after he felt soreness in his surgically repaired elbow.
INFANTE OKAY: Royals manager Ned Yost is hopeful that 2B Omar Infante will return this weekend after he was hit by a Heath Bell pitch in the face Monday night against the Rays. Kansas City also activated RH reliever Louis Coleman off the disabled list, where he had been recovering from a bruised right middle finger.
RELIEVER AWARDS: Major League Baseball created a Mariano Rivera American League reliever of the year award and a Trevor Hoffman National League reliever of the year award.
BRAVES: RHP Pedro Beato, a St. Petersburg College product, was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a roster spot for RHP Ervin Santana.
MARINERS: LHP James Paxton went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle on the left side of his back.
MARLINS: RHP Jacob Turner went on the 15-day disabled list a day after straining his shoulder while taking batting practice.
TWINS: CF Oswaldo Arcia went on the 15-day disabled list with right wrist inflammation.

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Kelsie and I'm a wedding photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. Grab a cup of coffee (or in my case - a cup of hot chocolate!), a glass of wine or a bottle of coke and enjoy viewing my latest work, browsing resources for brides and photographers, and getting a little peek into my life!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to mentor my sweet childhood friend, Abby. Abby and I grew up together and were always scrapbooking, painting, you name it! We’ve always been the creative ones of our friends, and Abby has continued to pursue the arts more than ever before! She is an incredibly talented artist, and I’m so thankful that we share a love for photography as well. She has a passion for encouraging outdoor adventure, and boy does it show in her photos! Her landscape portraits are AHHHH-MAZING!!! Seriously, go check out her work. However, Abby is starting to break into the wedding industry so that’s where I come into the picture (get it?).
During our session we covered all things business, starting with marketing, blogging, pricing, client experience, lighting & locations, workflow and so much more. We also did a portfolio and website review to make sure that her online home is supporting her business in the best way possible. Of course, we ended our time together with some new wintery headshots! We took all of these in a span of about 7 minutes because it was approximately 3 degrees outside haha. Let’s just say we were cold and my fingers could no longer feel the camera buttons. Anyway, it was such a JOY to pour into another photographer’s business and share the tips and tricks that I’ve used to grow my business. I have a heart for encouraging other photographers and can’t wait for more mentoring sessions this year! I have limited availability but would love to fill my remaining spots in 2018! If you’re interested, I would LOVE to hear how I can serve you through a mentoring session!

Im Naomi the Creator and owner of The Home Spa
I was pregnant with my second child Rueben when I knew a second lockdown was aproaching. After having a fairly difficult first pregnancy and struggling mentally with my oldest Son Frankie ( who was still only 10 months at this stage) I decided I needed to take up a hobby. Like for many people the first lockdown had taken away many vices for me and throw a pregnancy on top of that, meaning no wine, it sometimes felt like there was no vice at all. So I ordered myself a wax melting kit online and soon found a therapeutic love for making melts. After lots of research, experimenting and hours over a double boiler I soon found the perfect wax melt recipe. My house started filling with beautiful scents and I was loving being so creative.
Over the following months I gifted friends and family with my creations with no intention of ever selling them but people loved my melts and soon they became in high demand so The HomeSpa was created. The name was made with the idea that customers could buy products to create a luxury pampering and spa feeling right from the comfort of their own home. As the year went on I wanted to create more and more. I sourced the best ingredients and thought hard about what people wanted and needed to bring a little self care into their life. In november 2021 we launched our Bathbombs, CBD bombs and Bath salts. That christmas they were a sell out. I made the brave decision to leave my job and follow my dream. In the march we launched our butters and balms and in July we opened The Home Spa Shop.
We continue to create and cook up new recipes in our spa kitchen. In the next year you can look forward to facemasks, shower products and much more.
In the meantime please browse our beautiful stock and pop something in your basket if it takes your fancy!
Did you know CBD balm is our best seller! It's not only great for stress and sleep but also a natural pain reliever. Made with natural butters and oils it's also great for locking moisture into your skin.

Dear Lupus Europe members,
The theme for this year’s World Lupus Day is “Tame your wolf – Tame your lupus”.
We were delighted to be able to ask Leslie Quagraine, a fellow lupus sufferer, if he could produce the artwork for our campaign. Leslie was born in London but is a long-time resident in Finland. He has been a freelance illustrator for 37 years.
Here is what Leslie has to say about his involvement in this project:
“The two symbols associated with lupus, latin for wolf, are the wolf and the butterfly. Although the rash across many a lupus sufferer’s face is an unwanted symptom, its butterfly shape has become a symbol associated with the care of the disease.
The young woman in the poster is determined to control her lupus/wolf, with the support of a squadron of butterflies. The variety of butterflies indicate that symptoms and treatments differ from patient to patient.”
With this campaign we hope to be able, not only to increase awareness, but also to promote better management of people’s lupus and a feeling of empowerment. The idea of taming the wolf is a strong message that it is possible to actively participate in our care and tame our disease.

Simply put, Elliott Geskin loves people. For him to be happy and thriving, the people around him also need to be happy and thriving. Thankfully, he is a great problem solver! For twenty years, Geskin worked in real estate and land development but he recently left behind the corporate world to pursue his passion. After putting in hundreds of hours to complete his practicum, Geskin received his official coaching designation and is now helping couples across the province mend their relationships at the Art of Strategy, where his wife, Alison, consults with local business owners.
With his new career underway, Elliott has been transitioning his style from formal business attire to a more relaxed, casual vibe. An #adessoman supporter since day one, we've had a lot of fun helping him find the perfect accessories to pair with his new looks and learning more about his personal style! But we wanted to dive in and learn even more about Elliott and his heart of gold so we sat down to talk relationships, life goals, and his number one fashion faux pas.
What three things do you need to make it through the day?
I need the people around me to be happy, I need to be focused, and I need a list. I can’t make it through the day without one.
How would you describe your personal style and what are your go-to shopping spots?
It’s classic yet casual. My go-to shopping spots are Forman Menswear, Harry Rosen, Tommy Bahama, Holt Renfrew, and Adesso — their style is totally unique to Calgary, and I love being able to find pieces that you can’t find anywhere else. I also love the European flair that their accessories have.
What are your personal fashion no-nos? and what are your favourite pieces?
I don’t wear anything with horizontal stripes. That’s a big fashion no-no for me. One of my favourite pieces to wear is my bright pink Gucci button-up shirt — pink and purple are my favourite colours. I’m also a big fan of watches, I don’t know how to fix them but I love collecting them.
Where do you turn for inspiration?
My wife Alison is my biggest inspiration. We have been married for 28 years and I am absolutely amazed at how positive she has been throughout it all. Her drive, and the positivity she brings to my life and everyone around us, motivates me every day.
What three core values shape your life and the decisions you make?
Being direct, striving to do my absolute best, and always looking for answers and solutions.
Last question! What are your goals for the upcoming year?
To keep getting in better shape. I play tennis five days a week and I'm excited to see how I will continue to progress over the next year. I also want to continue being productive and growing my network. And finally, to keep on pushing.

Effective policy related to climate change education requires not only a commitment to teach and learn but a commitment to act. Research has shown that knowledge alone is insufficient for societies to change behaviour; therefore, policymakers must move beyond education systems that simply transmit knowledge to ones that promote graduates who are engaged in systemic change. Recommendations: - Emphasise action competence, not just knowledge, in developing curriculums and learning outcomes related to climate change literacy. - Create learning environments in which students are able to practise action competence in responding to climate changes, by minimising operational policy and practices that contradict competencies being taught in relation to climate change. - Target adult and senior learners for climate literacy and building action competence with regard to climate change.

I created the key art for the 2013-14 season at Opera Memphis, giving each opera its own visual identity rooted in its plot, while simultaneously uniting the three events as a series with a cohesive aesthetic. With this style, the Director and I strove for something bold and classic that would not shock the organization's older patrons, yet fresh enough to attract new, younger fans of opera.
Rigoletto is the tale of a deformed court jester and the beautiful daughter he tries to keep a secret from the world who is wooed by the Duke, and ultimately dies in the name of her forbidden love.
The Mikado is a modern English opera set in Japan, making subversive anti-authoritarian commentary on the corrupt nature of bureaucracy, overshadowed by vibrant characters like Harijuku girls, sumo wrestlers, and Godzilla.
The Midtown Opera Festival is now in its second year, with three operas to offer–the Medium, Le 66, and the Impresario, as well as a local series, Ghosts of Crosstown, based on the lives of six people that worked in the now abandoned Sears Crosstown Building.

If your love of robots predates the Web, you probably remember a little guy called the Rug Warrior Pro. Without any formal training in electronics and only one other robot under my belt, the Rug Warrior Pro was a real challenge for me to make. It probably spent as much time in my garbage can, as it did on my workbench. (I tended to toss it in the can when I’d get frustrated, only to pull it out again the next day.) Despite my frustration, I look back on the whole experience fondly. The Rug Warrior was the first thing I ever made that was more robot than toy, and I proudly showed it off to my friends.
Global Specialities has released a new robot that really takes me back to my Rug Warrior days and reminds of me the value of learning a classic programming language. The RP6V2-C might not be as flashy (or as well named) as many of the robot kits currently out on the market but it offers a solid education in the fundamentals of robotics and programming.
“This robot is a really fun way to learn computer programming,” says Global Specialities Director of Product Development Marco León.
The basic kit includes a robot with an ultrasonic anti-collision sensor, infrared sensors, light sensors, bumper sensors, and 32K of Flash memory. (Learning to code with memory constraints is a skill!) Two independent 7.2 volt motors drive the robot, which can climb gradients of 30 percent.
León says one of the things that make the RP6V2-C better than it’s competitors is the extensive manual that comes with it, which includes a short C tutorial and several sample programs for the robot.
The RP6V2-C is also expandable. Accessories include a WiFi system for controlling the robot via a laptop, and a Bluetooth kit so that the robot can be controlled from an Android device.
The robot comes prebuilt, which should make it far less frustrating for today’s high school students as they dive straight into coding.

This amused me and it shall be incorporated into my plans to take over the world:
My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
I will not gloat over my enemies’ predicament before killing them.
When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”
After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks’ time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled “Danger: Do Not Push”. The big red button marked “Do Not Push” will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum — a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
Many more over at the Link.

With more autism diagnoses taking place nationwide, it is becoming increasingly more critical for all first-responders to be properly trained in assisting those on the spectrum. Police officers, for example, are beginning to experience more training on how to successfully interact with those with autism in order to best assist them in a time of crisis.
Pennsylvania, for instance, has recently enforced a new state law that mandates officers to learn about mental illnesses, autism, and other disorders, in order to recognize and manage a crisis. Luciana Randall, executive director of Autism Connection of PA states, “This law is probably going to save someone’s life. It will help officers do their job more safely. They don’t want to make a mistake.”
The new law requires officers to learn what services may be available when autistic individuals are in a state of crisis. Furthermore, it teaches officers how to best interact with those on the spectrum, such as speaking gently, avoiding sudden movements, accepting the fact that the individual may avoid answering questions, as well as be more patient and understanding.
Police Chief Todd Graeff states “We take training seriously, and if it’s a mandate, we’re going to make sure it happens.” He continues, “If police officers can help identify (a crisis) and prevent a tragedy, that’s a plus.”
In a state of crisis, anyone can become anxious, fearful, or irrational, but for those on the spectrum, the situation can truly be terrifying and too much to handle. Training will enable officers to properly de-escalate a situation and minimize the chance of meltdowns.
Sue Walther, executive director of Mental Health America PA, states, “Often times the interaction between police and someone with a mental illness or someone with autism escalates needlessly. If police understand what they are confronting, they may go about it in a different way.”
Moving forward, this mandate should serve as an ideal for all other states. It is essential for all first-responders to learn how to best communicate with those on the spectrum, enabling them to receive the utmost assistance and to prevent an escalated situation.

Everyone is talking about comfort food, snow and seriously, Christmas decorations! While it may be like the arctic in 50% of the U.S. – we are having Santa Ana’s in Southern California right now. When it is 75-85 degrees during the day, it’s hard to get excited about making a hot and hearty meal. But I persevered with a fall recipe and I’m so glad I did. Jordan and I visited the farmer’s market on Saturday and got a beautiful bunch of rainbow colored carrots. I remembered that I had some stew meat in the freezer along with some red potatoes and sweet potatoes in the pantry. I looked online for beef stew recipes that I could throw in the crockpot and then I modified it a bit. So in record time, we had a delicious and hearty meal. I loved the addition of the sweet potatoes. It was so colorful and flavorful. I also loved how everything just got dumped in- it truly was a one pot meal. No browning the meat before. Yay! The meat was tender and the beef stew had a rich flavor.
We made a batch of our delicious one hour cast iron focaccia to go with it. Who cares if we ate the stew in our shorts and tank tops – it was delicious!
The Best Crockpot Beef Stew
2 pounds beef stew meat, (cut into bite-sized pieces), I used a bit less
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 T minced garlic
6 oz can tomato paste
32 oz beef broth
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups carrots, diced
5 – 6 small red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1 cups frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water
1. Combine the first 12 ingredients in the crock pot and mix well. Cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
2. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish and pour into the crockpot. Mix until well combined. This will add a nice thickness to the stew. Next add in your frozen peas and corn. Continue cooking covered for 30 minutes.
Recipe found on familyfreshmeals.com and adapted slightly.

Some time ago ... wake up in back, were you listening?! ... I posted a link to the most common nouns in the English language. So pleased to see then how the Snakeskin webzine have taken it several steps further, by publishing their Ten Nouns Special, poems which use the top ten nouns. Particular credit to Cheryl Snell for her poem, Special Effects.
So that's going to be my writing prompt for today, but I'm going to stick to prose - a paragraph with the top ten nouns which are
1 Time 2 Person 3 Year 4 Way 5 Day 6 Thing 7 Man 8 World 9 Life 10 Hand

In Brief: Fear of 13 (2015) DOC NYC 2015
Odd ball documentary is less documentary than theater piece as Yarris sits in a chair, nominally in prison and tells us his life story. However what he is saying is carefully scripted with each word being carefully measured.
I'm kind of mixed on the film. While I am intrigued and angered by the story and what happened to Yarris I'm less enamored of how the film is being told. There is nothing wrong with Yarris himself, however the script he is working would have been better suited on the stage where the theatricality of it all would have worked better. This shouldn't infer that the film is bad only that it's not quite as compelling as it could have been.
The film plays on the 15th and 17th. For tickets and more information go here.

If you're interested in Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (NYSE:SHO), then you might want to consider its beta (a measure of share price volatility) in order to understand how the stock could impact your portfolio. Modern finance theory considers volatility to be a measure of risk, and there are two main types of price volatility. The first type is company specific volatility. Investors use diversification across uncorrelated stocks to reduce this kind of price volatility across the portfolio. The second type is the broader market volatility, which you cannot diversify away, since it arises from macroeconomic factors which directly affects all the stocks on the market.
Some stocks see their prices move in concert with the market. Others tend towards stronger, gentler or unrelated price movements. Beta is a widely used metric to measure a stock's exposure to market risk (volatility). Before we go on, it's worth noting that Warren Buffett pointed out in his 2014 letter to shareholders that 'volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' Having said that, beta can still be rather useful. The first thing to understand about beta is that the beta of the overall market is one. Any stock with a beta of greater than one is considered more volatile than the market, while those with a beta below one are either less volatile or poorly correlated with the market.
What we can learn from SHO's beta value
Looking at the last five years, Sunstone Hotel Investors has a beta of 1.18. The fact that this is well above 1 indicates that its share price movements have shown sensitivity to overall market volatility. If the past is any guide, we would expect that Sunstone Hotel Investors shares will rise quicker than the markets in times of optimism, but fall faster in times of pessimism. Beta is worth considering, but it's also important to consider whether Sunstone Hotel Investors is growing earnings and revenue. You can take a look for yourself, below.
Could SHO's size cause it to be more volatile?
Sunstone Hotel Investors is a fairly large company. It has a market capitalisation of US$3.2b, which means it is probably on the radar of most investors. It takes a lot of money to influence the share price of large companies like this one. That makes it interesting to note that its share price has a history of sensitivity to market volatility. There might be some aspect of the business that means profits are leveraged to the economic cycle.
What this means for you:
Beta only tells us that the Sunstone Hotel Investors share price is sensitive to broader market movements. This could indicate that it is a high growth company, or is heavily influenced by sentiment because it is speculative. Alternatively, it could have operating leverage in its business model. Ultimately, beta is an interesting metric, but there's plenty more to learn. This article aims to educate investors about beta values, but it's well worth looking at important company-specific fundamentals such as Sunstone Hotel Investors’s financial health and performance track record. I highly recommend you dive deeper by considering the following:

Ramaiya Vastavaiya (RV) and D-Day, which have created huge positive buzz prior to their release, have made a decent collection at the Indian Box Office in the first weekend. But they have failed to pull down Bhaag Milkha Bhaag from top of the chart. They have graced second and third position, respectively in the domestic collection chart.
Ramaiya Vastavaiya opened to good amount of occupancy at single screens in mass-dominated circuits. The Girish and Shruti Hassan starrer showed upward trend on the following days. The movie has collected approximately Rs 15.30 crores nett at the Indian Box Office in the first weekend. Its breakup is Rs 4.10 cr on Fri, Rs 4.70 cr on Sat and Rs 6.50 cr on Sun.
Whereas another new release D-Day debuted with an average response at the domestic collection centres, but a strong word of mouth made the movie grow from strength to strength with each passing day. The movie has performed very well at multiplexes. It has collected approximately Rs 13.69 crores nett at the Indian Box Office in its opening weekend. Its breakup is Rs 2.94 cr on Fri, Rs 4.75 cr on Sat and Rs 6 cr on Sun.
However, last week's release Bhaag Milkha Bhaag starring Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor in leads, once again topped the domestic Business chart, beating new films Ramaiya Vastavaiya and D-Day. The biopic has raked in approximately Rs 16.55 cr nett at the domestic Box Office in the second weekend, taking its 10 day total to Rs 70.29 crores nett.

The Canadian Curling Association National Curling Congress (NCC) and Annual General Meeting (AGM) were held in Ottawa from June 16-18.
“This year’s National Curling Congress saw several changes which we believe helped enhance the overall experience for all attending delegates. The spirit of the membership was very positive and truly embodied the collaborative efforts on behalf of the CCA and all its Member Associations,” explained Greg Stremlaw, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Curling Association. “I would like to sincerely thank the NCC Planning Committee for their work related to this event and the introduction of a curling summit which produced comprehensive education and dialogue for the benefit of our sport.”
The CCA is pleased to report that, for a fourth consecutive year, it will finish the fiscal year in the black with a continued positive financial outlook. The Association showed a financial surplus of $640,727 for the year 2010 – 2011.
The newly created Curling Assistance Program (CAP) received another significant boost with the CCA Board of Governors approving $300,000 to be allocated into CAP for this coming year. This funding program is a CCA-designed fund that targets projects designed to grow the sport of curling at the community level or to assist capital projects critical to the operation and health of the CCA’s membership. The new 2011-2012 Curling Assistance Program and application details for the CCA’s affiliated curling centres will be available this fall.
An updated Business Plan and Organizational Strategy for the Association was also presented and will be available on the CCA’s website next month.
This year’s National Curling Congress included a type of ‘curling summit’ that was scheduled between the standard business sessions and AGM. This format allowed for some excellent information on television and social media, coaching and instruction and how to grow the sport of curling in our communities.
Curling club professionals from multiple affiliated curling centres across the country helped lead this summit and the round table discussions on these topics. Updates on high performance, information technology, development, championships and national marketing strategies were also provided by the CCA.
This past year the CCA created a new provincial/territorial ranking system to measure Member Association (MA) performances at all of the CCA-operated and sanctioned national curling championships beginning in the 2010-2011 season. This year’s Dominion Member Association Cup, presented by TSN, was awarded to co-champions – Saskatchewan and Alberta. On a related note, this was also the inaugural year of the CCA’s Governors’ Cup which is awarded to the Member Association making the biggest year-to-year improvement on an average point basis for the above events. This year’s Governors’ Cup was awarded to New Brunswick.
A number of motions were passed at the CCA Annual General Meeting, including:
– The Equitable Opportunity to Access Canadian Championships approved at last year’s AGM for application at the 2012 Canadian Mixed and Canadian Senior Curling Championships has been expanded to the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships starting in 2013.
– A new Residency Policy to Compete at National Curling Championships was developed and subsequently approved by the Provincial/Territorial Members.
– A policy on Transgender Participation for all Canadian Curling Championships to align with the IOC’s current policy was brought forward and received acceptance with the exception of the 2-year wait period being amended to 1-year.
– In 2010, the CCA adjusted its game timing structure to remove coaching time outs from the time allocation at national events. Following a season of implementation, it was decided to make a change to 71 minutes of game playing time (from 73 minutes). During the course of a 10-end game, each team will be able to call two, 90-second time outs (including travel time), during which time the coach will be able to access their teams. The change of game playing time will be applicable at the Mixed, Seniors, Men’s and Women’s National Championships as well as the other televised Season of Champions events with the exception of World Championships operated in Canada.
– The Member Association Code of Conduct approved at the 2010 AGM was updated to include a process for handling violations and appeals.
Having completed their tenures, CCA Chair Jack Bowman of Victoria, British Columbia and Governor Georgina Granchelli of Sydney, Nova Scotia retired from the CCA Board.
Bob Osborne of St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador and Cindy Maddock of Morden, Manitoba were elected by the Member Association delegates to serve on the CCA Board of Governors for a 5-year term.
Laura Lochanski of Alberta was elected Chair and Jim Campbell of Ontario, Vice-Chair of the CCA Board of Governors for 2011-2012.
The next Canadian Curling Association Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012 in Ottawa.

Nature of Problem: Failure of BCD
Halfway out of Mayor’s Chamber of HERUC (Hinatuan’s Enchanted River Underwater Cave), my BCD suffered a leak through the purge valve. Four FCD’s use Hollis SMS 100 in the sidemount configuration. Out of convention, the power inflator and the purge valve were switched positions:
Figure 1, right shows the purge valve mechanism on the left shoulder. At first glance, this would not cause any problem. However, in the limestone dissolution cave environment, an unforeseen problem of pieces of limestone falling from above as they are dislodged by the bubbles in open circuit diving, proved to be problematic.
The Exit from HERUC and the Deco Stops
I literally had to crawl out of HERUC. As luck would have it, during the planned deco stops, Enchanted was current-neutral. (I have dived the area with a hefty down current at the height of the flood stage of a spring tide).
After an uneventful completion of the deco schedule, analysis revealed a small speck of limestone lodged under the purge valve lid causing the free-flow. The Hollis® SMS 100 is unprotected on the shoulder position. In the conventional configuration, it is well protected in the left hip area. Incidentally, the Hollis® SMS 50 purge valve is around the left shoulder area, but securely protected by the bladder.
Either one will do:
- Position the power inflator and purge valve in conventional manner – power inflator on the left shoulder, the purge valve tucked under the bladder in the left hip area
- Redundant bladder with independent power inflator

The marriage seemed inevitable from the time free agency began.
Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are the perfect 1-2 punch any team would want to build around, an inside-outside combo that is young, athletic and explosive.
One of the few questions surrounding this pairing is whether fellow 2003 draft classmate LeBron James will follow Bosh to South Beach.
On Thursday night, the King is scheduled to announce his decision on ESPN, which has suddenly become the unofficial mouth piece for the three jewels in this summer’s free agency. TSN will carry the live feed in Canada.
On Wednesday, both Bosh and Wade used ESPN to announce their intentions.
“I’m back in Miami. I’m back in Wade County,” Wade told the network.
“I’m joining Mr. Wade in Miami,” Bosh said. “I think we’re both fine with the situation. We’ve wanted to play with each other and we have a golden opportunity to do it. Miami was the best decision for me.”
Which is his right.
All along, Bosh has maintained that he wanted to be the man, which he won’t be in Miami.
All along, Bosh envisioned himself as a max player earning max money, which he won’t in Miami because he never got the Raptors involved in the process.
Unless Bosh, his representative or the Raptors ever come clean, no one will know for certain why this messy divorce had to end the way it appears to be ending.
Needed a change
Everyone knew Bosh needed a change of scenery, but it was understood he and the Raptors had to work side by side to take care of each other’s interest.
There is talk of James joining the duo in Miami if the Heat can ship power forward Michael Beasley to Toronto, which will clear sufficient cap space.
Such a scenario would also allow Bosh to get his max money in a sign and trade. But why would the Raptors do Bosh any favours, or Miami any favours, simply to save face?
“It’s not about the money,” Bosh said. “It’s not about anything else, except for winning. We’re going to bring winning to Miami.”
The Raptors weren’t commenting Wednesday, but one gets the feeling the team is pissed off at Bosh.
And it should be.
It may happen as early as Thursday, when the NBA’s moratorium gets lifted, but as of Wednesday it was unclear if Bosh would join Miami in an outright free-agent signing or in a sign and trade.
The difference in the two scenarios is $30 million US.
In a straight-up free-agent deal, Bosh would earn $96 million over five years, $125 million over six years in a sign and trade.
Wade will make the max.
While silence prevailed in Raptorland, Heat president did issue a statement.
“We are engaged in free agent negotiations with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. We intend to enter into player contracts with Dwyane and Chris once the moratorium period has ended.”

Have Made It
- Cut 1/4-inch slice off of the bottom to provide a stable base.
- About 1/3 of the way from the bottom of the watermelon, draw four equal, separate flower petal shapes using a sharp pencil or thin marker.
- Slice the top 1/3 of the watermelon off completely. Set aside.
- Following lines drawn in step 2, cut out the flower petal design and separate from base.
- Scoop the flesh out of this middle section, and set the rind on your platter (flat cut side down) as the base for the flower. Use a scoop or a knife to remove the red flesh from the section that was originally on the bottom. Cut into chunks and reserve.
- Position the cut, separated flower petals into the middle section, which is now on the plate as the base.
- Using a melon baller, scoop three pretty watermelon balls out of the top section that was set aside earlier that will serve as the middle of each flower. Set aside. Scoop the rest of the flesh out of the top section and cut into chunks--put all chunks into the melon.
- Using the remaining rind, cut out a flat section that is about 9 x 3 inches. Remove the dark green rind with a knife, leaving the light green inside of the rind. Cut into three 3-inch squares.
- From the squares, use the melon baller to cut petals to form a flower. Spear each flower with a sturdy toothpick, then add the melon balls you set aside earlier to the center of each. Stick into the filled basket and garnish with flowers or ivy.

Review: The Twitter Book
Authors: Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein Format: Paperback, 240 pages Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. (May 26, 2009) ISBN-10: 0596802811 ISBN-13: 978-0596802813 This book is marketed to everyone who uses or wants to use twitter with an eye on being popular, either personally or professionally. I don't mean that in a frivolous way. Twitter has become an important tool for self-promotion of individuals and businesses. OK, I doubt that Bill Gates worries that the number of followers he has in any way affects Microsoft's profit margin (actually, I can't find the "real" Bill Gates on twitter, but there are a number of "parody" profiles with his name on them), however there are a number of "big bananas" on Twitter who tweet regularly for more than just a lark (if you'll pardon the "bird" metaphor). According to twitterholic, the top 20 twitter users include Barack Obama (number 1.), DowningStreet (number 2.), The Onion (number 6.), Guy Kawasaki (number 12.), and ESPN Headlines (number 15.). Adam Ostrow (alias @mashable), states that twitter saw a massive 752 percent growth in 2008 with no end in sight. All this would seem to indicate that twitter is "where the cool kids hang out". Reason enough to at least consider O'Reilly's and Milstein's book if you want to know more about twitter than just its name. The Twitter Book is easy to read in the extreme. It's general format is less like a standard book and more like an instruction manual "for dummies". I don't use the term "dummies" in the pejorative sense, but to indicate that the content is designed to be accessible to the widest possible audience. The book in fact, starts out with answering one of the mysteries to twitter newbies: what is a hashtag? The answer on page 3 is only a brief mention and suggests the reader will learn more in Chapters 1 and 3, but it is one of those little details that makes tweeting less than easy to understand. The actual Introduction section doesn't start until page 5 and goes into a brief history lesson of what twitter is and where it came from. As the reader moves through the book, screen captures abound. Text per page is large and limited, so like twitter tweets themselves, information is presented only in small, bite-sized, bits (although there are more than 140 characters per page, fortunately). Pages 9-17 address what a lot of people might want to know about twitter: What's it good for? Turns out "ambient intimacy" is the number one use (at least in terms of being presented first in the list) of twitter; having "lightweight but meaningful" conversations. My personal opinion is that not all tweets are "meaningful", but they certainly are lightweight. If you can talk like a T.V. sound byte, you can successfully tweet on twitter. Chapter 1 gives the reader the basics required to get started using twitter (which at ground level, isn't really such a chore). If you've created a personal account on any social networking or similar site, you can create a twitter account. Of course, there are probably people who would use twitter who might not also use Facebook, MySpace, and so on, so including such basic instructions is a good idea. Since attracting followers is a main goal, page 23 covers creating a "compelling profile"; something that will draw others to you. I've been using a lot of twitter-specific terms in my review thus far and, if you're not familiar with twitter, you may be having difficulty following some of my content. Fortunately, page 25 defines the term "following" and many more "jargon" definitions follow. Believe it or not, compressing what you want to say into 140 characters (including spaces) isn't always easy. The book provides helpful little hints (everything seems diminutive when describing twitter) on how this is accomplished. The long and the short of Chapter 1 will get you going quite well as a twitter user, but wait! There's more. Chapter 2 covers a variety of twitter related tools including search, finding people, following trends, and twitter clients for the desktop. TwitterGadget, the client I use (on Ubuntu) wasn't present, but it may not have been available when the book was being written. Chapter 3 goes to the heart of the matter: getting followers. Actually, the chapter talks about getting "great" followers, and tells you to get great followers, you need to be worthy of being followed. I thumbed through the basic suggestions and I probably don't follow a lot of them. I tend to either tweet too little (when I'm busy on projects) or to tweet too much (which is often). I suppose that's one of the reasons I don't have as many followers as the "big kahunas" (though I'm sure there are many other reasons). Of course, you have to really care about the number of followers you have for this to be important to you but then, isn't that part of what twitter is all about? Chapter 4 describes how to use twitter to promote your blog, website, events, and so on; using twitter as the link or lure to get people to enter the rest of your world. Chapter 5 emphasizes making twitter "personal" rather than tweeting dry, informational updates. The idea is that people will be more likely to follow you if you come across as a real human being (and there are bots on twitter). On the other hand, a large number of tweets about what color socks you're wearing or what you had for lunch can get a little dull. Chapter 6 presents data on using twitter to promote your business. This may be especially interesting to you if you have a small business you are trying to grow or are just launching a start up and are trying to attract some buzz. All in all, a worthy book though somewhat "lightweight" and definitely written with the traditional "end user" in mind. You may not end up reading the whole book and instead just focus on the parts of interest, though it's only 240 pages long and, with the large-print formatting and large number of images, it takes no time at all to burn through this work, cover to cover. If you are both interested in twitter and interested in the authors, you can follow them on twitter: Tim O'Reilly (@timoreilly) and Sarah Milstein (@SarahM) both tweet regularly. For that matter, your humble reviewer is @jamespyles on twitter. If you've heard about twitter and want to learn more, you can find out all the basics of the application and how to use it within the pages of this book. I wouldn't say it contains any amazing secrets, but it is a good, common sense primer for becoming active in twitter. Happy tweeting.

We took a brand new build ‘blank canvas’ and working with the developer created a cost-effective and modern landscape solution.
Plantings and pavers with garden beds and new soil installation. We advised the client on low maintenance, drought tolerant shrubs, trees and plants for a bright and fresh feeling shared yard for this front and back duplex.
We worked with the client to create a contemporary low-maintenance sloped garden to suit the modern interpretation of this old Strathcona house.
In selecting the plantings, we wanted to go with deep-rooting and drought-resistant plants to stabilize the slope.
Festuca blue oat grasses and Hebe shrubs compliment the clean lines of the home’s architecture with their tight and tidy forms.
Outdoor entertaining space for sunny days under the fig tree with this south-facing gardener’s garden and stepped patio.
Working with the client we designed and installed a sunny outdoor room that spills into a lush garden with dappled light under a mature fig tree.
We used a lot of fragrant perennials and lush foliage to engage all the senses. The low maintenance and easy to clean hydro slab pavers provide dual walkways for the basement suite tenants and main house.

In the world of promotional products there are all sorts of products. There are mugs and bags. There are USBs and speakers. You can also find pens and all sorts of knick knacks. With all those products there is, you would think it would be hard to choose a product when you are looking at giveaways and gift. All sort of questions are abound when you are trying to pick that next product. But you know what? Sometimes it is best to just stick with basics and choose the one product you know will always complement your line up. Although you may not use it exclusively you can at least throw it in with the lot. That product my friends is the lanyard. To be more precise it is printed lanyards.
Printed lanyards are one of those products that has been around for years and years. You can almost not remember living without them, even though there was a time you had never seen one in your life. Then you got a job and one of the first thing you would have been given is a lanyard with a security pass to get you in the building. Or you went to a music festival and they gave you one with your pass. After that you would have been inundated with lanyards wherever you went.
A lanyard this and lanyard that. It became as if you were inundated with them and then all the sudden you realised how remarkable a product it was. A simple necklace made of polyester or nylon which you can around your neck. All the attachment that enhanced it like the breakaway clip and the j-hook. There is even a bottle attachment so you can attach a wine or beer when you go to the footy.
So it became that what was a simple printed lanyard became so much more. Printed lanyards might seem like an unassuming product. They may not even register as the most exciting product in the field or promotional products. What they are is a product which has many uses and will last the test of time. With it you will grow and experience all sorts of things in life. In the end it will go from being a simple lanyard to a treasure trove of memories.

Lupe Fiasco & Jack Splash Animate Life Into Baatin Via Upcoming Film
The loss of Slum Village member Baatin earlier this year was a great loss for the hip hop community and Miami based rapper/producer/singer Jack Splash is keeping the late rapper’s memory alive via his upcoming album and an animated short film.
According to XXL, Splash has a song dedicated to Baatin on his forthcoming album titled Heir To The Throne, Vol 1 which hits stores on November 11th.
Baatin was a close friend and mentor to Splash. Splash claims Baatin saved his life in a time of need and reminisces on the song “Baatin (Missing U)“.
“When I lost my hope and I could not do it/It was you, Baatin, that got me through it/And you told me if I fight for love they gon’ fight this/Teardrops on the paper as I write this.,” Splash raps on the song.
Splash will also be releasing an animated short film which is inspired by Baatin. Lupe Fiasco will be voicing the film’s main character.

'Big Freedia' Cast Spotlight: Freedia on Working With Beyoncé, Season 5 Drama
Big Freedia is sitting pretty on the Marie Antoinette-inspired Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce season 5 promo shoot. She has her royal court by her side and is ready to take her throne. Big Freedia says the new season will be off the chain with more drama and fun, but through it all she keeps it positive and keeps her focus. From what we can tell, season 5 is set to be downright regal, and even liver than the last!

It has been commented on by me, but also but scores of others how Africa has rendered itself impotent and unable to take on the mantle of a vibrant modern continent over the prolonged and deliberate inactivity in dealing with Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwean regime. The African Union's uselessness over many years has seen Zimbabwe turn from the very model of a modern African state, with good health care, education and an open door to investment, to an utter basket case. But the latest reports from Africa show just how short sighted African leaders might have been in pandering to Mugabe's slow strangulation of Zimbabwean agriculture.
The EU development commissioner is warning that the recent hike on food prices, which looks set to continue, could well lead to what he refers to as a "food price Tsunami", which will see millions of African people starve as they are effectively squeezed out of the market for food.
And to think that Zimbabwe was one of the largest food exporters in the world and was referred to as the breadbasket of Africa.
Sadly Africa's leaders stand up for dictators and criminality more than they stand up for the poor and oppressed. For a continent so troubled by conflicts supposedly aimed at liberating and making people free, it's leaders show themselves to be the very worst kind of stuffed shirts lining their pockets or quietly ignoring atrocities because they don't have the backbone or moral fibre to speak up.
We might have some poor leaders in western democratic states, but when they cock up it very rarely leads to millions of deaths. The difference is in Africa that one bad leader can cause millions of deaths, but put them all together in one place and it could be tens of millions. Sadly this looks like the situation they now face in Africa now. African nations fawned at Mugabe's feet and ignored him killing the goose that laid the golden egg fro Zimbabwe and Southern Africa. Very sad indeed.

At Addison's year check up our PCP talked to us about some worries he had concerning Addison's development. She had breast tissue developed, poor growth, and some other issues. He mentioned several things that could be causing her issues:
- A brain tumor
- Liver function issues
- Failure to thrive
"Geez. I thought...those all sound like no big swig!" I promptly began to freak out and wondered what could be wrong with my baby. Our doctor said he was referring us to Arkansas Children's Hospital. When you hear those words it is hard not to be worried... after all the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock is where some of the worse of the worst cases go. So to be referred there, for me, meant doom and gloom. Garrett and I braced ourselves for our impending appointment and wondered where we might buy clothing for Addison if she, indeed, was a little person.
We arrived at Arkansas Children's Hospital at the Circle of Friends Endocrinology clinic. The whole situation reminded me of St.Jude Children's Hospital- I spent many a day there with my brother who died from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Addison was in great spirits and Garrett seemed cool and collected. We were somewhat happy as we realized it was one of the few times we were able to be alone with Addy. Special time for us, even if it meant the possibly awful reasons we could be alone at the hospital.
The doctor finally came in and went over results. He concluded that he thinks the breast development was residual from breastfeeding so long (she is still breastfeeding), the liver function was worrisome because it could be Cystic Fibrosis (He sent us to take a test and it was NEGATIVE!!), and that someone must have charted her growth wrong because they marked her on the the 10th percentile. They drew blood to verify that she is not in precocious puberty.... and we await the results (still).
That day though, I was so thankful for Arkansas Children's Hospital. So many families go there to learn things that change their lives for the worst and best every single day. It is an amazing place, an irreplaceable resource and I am thankful it exists. Our Children's Hospital Endocrinologist assured us that he believes Addy's blood work will come back normal. We are thankful either way. Thankful for the hospital. For support and family. For our beautiful daughter Addison.

Without exaggeration, The Contrarian’s Guide to Leadership is one of the most insightful and compelling books on leadership I’ve read. Steven Sample is an analytical practitioner of the highest calibre. He’s an electrical engineer, musician, outdoorsman, professor, and inventor. For nearly 20 years Sample served as the president of the University of Southern California, leading it to become one of the premier universities in the US. This book is the product of research, reflection, observations and experience, woven together with wisdom and clarity. Many books about leadership are riddled with predictable cliches, whereas The Contrarian’s Guide offers fresh and profound insights in every chapter.
1. Thinking gray, and free
Don’t form an opinion about an important matter, until you’ve heard all the relevant facts and arguments, or until circumstances force you to form an opinion without recourse to all the facts. (p7-8)
Sample explains how we often jump to conclusions, flip-flop between ideas, or believe things which we think are strongly believed by others. Thinking gray, suspending our binary instincts, filing away our first impressions, helps the leader to consider weighty issues more carefully. Free thinking takes ‘thinking outside the box’ and ‘brainstorming’ to the next level. It involves contemplating outrageous ideas without restraints, well-worn ruts, passions and prejudices getting in the way. A creative imagination, or the ability to encourage this in others, is a huge asset for a quality leader.
2. Artful listening
The average person suffers from three delusions: (1) that he is a good driver, (2) that he has a good sense of humor, and (3) that he is a good listener. (p21)
Listening is a vital skill for a leader. It’s better to listen first and talk later. As we listen, so we learn, show respect for others, and gain the capacity to make wise decisions. Artful listening connects the leader to new perspectives that enable her to think independently and creatively. Costly misunderstandings and mistakes are often avoided when time is taken to hear from the right people.
3. Experts: Saviors and Charlatans
Experts can be helpful, but they’re no substitute for your own critical thinking and discernment. (p189)
Sample argues that it’s necessary for an expert to be a ‘deep specialist’ and for a leader to be a ‘deep generalist’. The expert will know more than the leader in a specific field, but the leader needs to be able to integrate the advice of different experts into a coherent course of action. Leaders should never become too dependent on experts, they should maintain their intellectual independence and they should never kid themselves that expertise can be substituted for leadership.
4. You are what you read
In these tempestuous times it often appears that everything is changing, and changing at an increasingly rapid rate. In such an environment a leader can gain a tremendous competitive advantage by being able to discern the few things that are not changing at all, or changing only slowly or slightly. And nothing can help him do that better than developing a close relationship with a few of the supertexts. (p57-58)
Not many books are still read 10 years after they’re published, let alone 50 years, or centuries later. Such enduring texts are significantly influential. Sample believes that such literature includes The Bible, The Qur’an, Plato’s Republic, the plays of Shakespeare, Machiavelli’s The Prince, and a handful of others. He describes them as supertexts due to their endurance and influence.
I expected Sample to be a freak who devours hundreds of books annually, but he focuses on only a few books and maintains a regular diet of truly significant writings. He briefly scans the newspaper, more for entertainment than information, and replaces his reading time with books of substance. He’s far more interested in understanding original ideas than reading another popular book that repackages and regurgitates the same old stuff. Sample recommends the advice of Thoreau: “Read only the best books first, lest there not be time enough to read them all.”
This advice resonates strongly with my experience as a pastor, teacher and leader. Every week more books are published in my fields of interest than I could read in a year – if not a lifetime. I can’t keep up with all the latest fads and ideas. But nor do I need to. What offers the greatest reward is concentrating on the supertext that guides me in every area of life. This book was given to me by my grandparents when I was 6 years old and they highlighted these words inside the front cover…
Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
(Psalm 119:105 Revised Standard Version Bible)
5. Decisions, decisions
The contrarian leader’s approach to decision making can be summed up in two general rules:
1. Never make a decision yourself that can be reasonably be delegated to a lieutenant. (p71)
2. Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow. (p72)
The key is to work out what’s reasonable, and this requires skill and practice. Sample argues that the leader must maintain responsibility for hiring and firing key staff, and making the decisions that will have the greatest impact on the organisation. He also argues for artful procrastination, allowing time to make better informed and wiser decisions. Of course, leaving things too long will result in missed opportunities or new problems developing.
6. Give the Devil his due
We must accept the fact that human beings and their institutions hardly ever measure up to our noblest ideals, and that to pretend otherwise is to invite ruin. (p102)
Sample is a great fan of Machiavelli’s, The Prince. This chapter is his apologetic for drawing on the wisdom of this controversial writer. One of Machiavelli’s strengths is his honesty about the complexity of the human condition. People have capacity for both atrocity and altruism. The contrarian leader won’t be naive about the people and circumstances he’s dealing with. Many decisions will be very complex and the leader must discern the pitfalls of various options and choose the best on offer, knowing that there is no perfect solution.
7. Know which hill you’re willing to die on
When he turned 16, Sample was given the same advice by his father that my father gave me and that I’ve since passed on to my children:
“If a cat or dog or squirrel (or kangaroo in Australia!) runs in front of your car,” he told me, “just steel yourself and kill it like a man. You have the responsibility not to endanger people in your car or in other cars by swerving in an effort to save the animal.” (p107)
Let me tell you, this is hard to do, and I’ve hit a few kangaroos in my time! But I’ve also seen people wipe out themselves and still hit the kangaroo by attempting to swerve. Some decisions are very tough and some are much tougher than the one above. Moral choices can be incredibly complex. Sample asks us to choose what hill we’re willing to die on. In other words, what moral compass will guide us to work out what we will and won’t do as leaders? The ethical dimensions of leadership are very important and they require us to ask difficult questions of ourselves. Every leader must come to terms with their own moral beliefs and be accountable for the decisions they make based on those beliefs. What you believe or don’t believe about God will play a significant part in this.
8. Work for those who work for you
If a would be leader wants glamour, he should try acting in the movies. However, if he in fact wants to make a consequential impact on a cause or organization, he needs to roll up his sleeves and be prepared to perform a series of grungy chores which are putatively beneath him, and for which he’ll never receive recognition or credit, but by virtue of which his lieutenants will be inspired and enabled to achieve great things. (p122)
I loved this chapter – haven’t always lived it out – but I love what it teaches! There is great wisdom here about who we employ and how we support them once they’re employed. There is sober advice about firing people, and how the leader should always do this in person. There are excellent recommendations for evaluating, assessing and equipping our key staff.
Choosing these people, motivating them, supporting them, helping them grow and achieve, inspiring them, evaluating them and firing them are among the most important things a leader does. (p139)
9. Follow the Leader
Whatever the basis of his authority may be, when an effective leader turns in a new direction his followers turn with him; that’s the test of real leadership. To paraphrase Harry Truman, leadership in involves getting others to move in a new direction in which they’re not naturally inclined to move on their own. (p142)
Sample identifies a number of skills required by effective leaders. Premium among these is communication. Words are their tools. Most highly effective leaders have an excellent command of language, either spoken or written or both. The most powerful form of communication between a leader and his followers is the spoken word. It’s not the email, bulletin or memo that’s going to inspire people – it’s direct, face to face, oral speech.
Leadership is about people; connecting with real people one to one. A leader may not be able to do this with everyone in the organisation, but it’s important that someone can and does. Sample emphasises the power and leverage of people chains, through which the leaders goals, vision and values are communicated orally and personally to every follower. Jesus was amazingly effective at achieving leadership leverage through people chains. A dozen followers grew to 120, then thousands, then thousands more, such that 2000 years later millions of people continue to follow him.
10. Being president versus doing president
The best physician won’t necessarily make a good hospital administrator or medical dean, the best engineer won’t necessarily make a good division president, the best teacher won’t necessarily make a good school principal, and the best athlete won’t necessarily make a good coach. There is no shame, and often much merit, in a person’s simply deciding he’s not cut out to have power and authority over, and responsibility for, a large number of followers. (p161)
To which I would add from the world of my experience, the best people serving others in Christian ministry won’t necessarily make a good leader of a church. Effective leaders need to be well tuned to the people around them and they need to be clear on where they’re taking people and how they will do it. It’s important for would-be leaders to recognise that leadership often removes them from doing what they’re best at and enjoy doing the most. That remains the privilege of those who serve under them. In fact, Sample argues that even the best leaders, under ideal conditions, will spend less than 30% of their time and effort on substantive matters. The rest of the time will be spent reacting to or presiding over trivial, routine, or ephemeral matters. Wanting to be the leader and wanting to do the work of a leader are two very different things!
If you’re a leader or a would-be leader then I’d put this on your short list of recommended reading. If you’re wanting some fresh input on leadership then get hold of this book. There are plenty of pearls to be plucked from its pages. Many of my texts on leadership are built on an explicitly Christian platform, deriving their message from the Bible. This isn’t one of them. Who knows, Steven Sample may be a follower of Jesus. He’s certainly familiar with Christianity’s supertext and much of his wisdom resonates with things I’ve learned from the Bible. Like any other good book, this one needs to be read with discernment and with a view to application.
Let me finish with the following quote:
…before you spend several hours carefully reading a relatively new book, you deserve a thoughtful preview from a person whose passions and prejudices are familiar to you. In many cases you’ll find that this thoughtful preview is all you’ll ever want or need to know about that particular book. (p70)
Kind of justifies this blog, doesn’t it?! 😉

The review of Tonight we’re together, a Netflix film based on the homonymous novel Harmony by Anna Szczypczynska where the desire to take back one’s life turns into a love triangle narrated in a bland and superficial way.
There are films that talk about love: the painful, waiting, the hoped-for, or sudden one. But there are also loves held in pause, finished and then rediscovered in a moment of indecision and tiredness, ready to burn again and then soon reduced to ashes.
As we will point out in this review of We’re together tonightil film directed by Robert Wichrowski and available at Netflix, is a small flame ready to rekindle a fire that has been kept extinguished for years. An inner fire lit in a moment in which everything in the life of the protagonist seems wrapped in a layer of dust for an everyday life left to flow by itself, monotonous and without stimuli. Life as a couple has reached a point of maximum saturation, and Nina knows it well; one look will be enough, one of those that shakes you inside, disorienting you and leaving you wandering without a compass, that the woman will question everything, between a past and a present love.
Yet, just because a story works well on the page, that doesn’t mean it’s equally meaningful and emotionally powerful on screen, especially if it’s backed by invisible direction and a somewhat banal script. And so, the waves that ferried the thoughts and heartbeats kept hidden between the spaces of paragraphs of a best-seller like Anna Szczypczynska’s homonymous one, turn into flat waters, which drag tired and dull characters and events onto deserted and uninhabited shores by tensions, sighs, or emotions.
Tonight we are together: the plot
Nina (Roma Gasiorowska) is a Polish journalist who has had everything in life: a good job, a stable marriage, a dizzying house and two daughters. But the arrival of an ex of hers in the city makes her remember how deep down the bond she held to him has never dissolved. Between an embrace and a discharge of physical attraction, what Janek (Maciej Musial) represents is not just a bolt from the blue, but a pretext, an opportunity, which allows the woman to come to terms with herself and realize how much imperfect and unsteady is in reality the married life with her husband Maciek (Wojciech Zielinski).
Moments of static restart
What a strange life for a human being: a container of feelings, emotions, instincts and rational thoughts, man often ends up approaching the life cycle of a product on the market. Hence, an individual is born, grows, feeds on stimuli, approaches others trying to win their trust, their affection, and then abruptly stops at a point of maximum emotional saturation. And it is precisely drawing inspiration from this moment of weakness and frustration that We’re together tonight mark your starting line. But instead of lingering and dwelling on the invisible hands that block Nina and Maciek in distinct points of their marriage, Wichrowski’s work prefers to put the fifth and run fast on the emergency lane, limiting itself to touching the various narrative junctions without really offering them the right space to be born, blossom and disappear like ashes.

Pages from Harmony in cinematic format
Everything happens and then disappears in We’re together tonight. From the frustration of a love without stimuli, to the meeting with the young Janek, up to the flashbacks that portray Nina and the ex happy and inebriated by an unbridled passion, everything in Wichrowski’s film is hinted at, without being investigated or explored . Daughter of other romantic films that preceded her, there is nothing that brings this work up to other films that attempt to touch the sedimentation of a love story, and the possible betrayal, such as Before Midnight, Two for the road o Nobody saves themselves. The sequences that follow one another over 92 minutes in which everything is said, but nothing is internalized, are reduced to a hasty synthesis of events that lose their emotional significance, to turn into many slides of a superficial presentation on the fragility of a independent woman ready to take control of her life.
The 35 best teen romance movies
Talk to me (superficially) about love
They are characters born from the touch of ink on a white page, those of Tonight we’re together. Accumulations of dialogues and words put into circulation that try to detach themselves from their two-dimensional essence, to become tangible and real in the space of a reading, these characters find their escape route to other worlds, other inner universes in the cinema. Filtered by the cinematographic lens, and transported into the eyes and into the bodies of actors ready to give them that carnality they had just denied, these protagonists however fail to become bearers of emotions and channels of feelings as their director had hoped. Roma Gasiorowska (Nina), Wojciech Zielinski (Maciek) e Maciej Musial (Janek) chew soulless words, limiting themselves to faithfully repeating pieces of screenplays copied from a thousand other stereotyped jokes of sentimental works intended for general television channels.
Blocked by a narrative flatness, the interpreters are unable to give depth to their characters, resulting in empty, cumbersome bodies without an emotional drive that inflames them, moves them internally. Machines with a flooded engine, the characters thus end up appearing cold even in the moments in which the fire of emotions should burn them. An interpretative coldness that pours on that affective accessibility essential for the purposes of spectator identification; and so the public attends the narrated events without participating, watching but not sharing any emotion, observing but without feeling the thrill of passion.
And so the fire that burns in Nina and Janek’s body becomes wet wood; every minute that passes is a thread that weaves a fireproof suit ready to dress the spectator, removing him from those will-o’-the-wisps of a love story that dies and is reborn in other forms, but which in the end proves to be harmless, light, painless, like a fire burning in a fake fireplace.
We conclude this review of Tonight we are together underlining how the work directed by Robert Wichrowski and available on Netflix is the exact translation into cinematic language of a Harmony novel. Trivial and superficial in dealing with the events that characterize the protagonist’s marriage crisis, and the subsequent rapprochement with her ex, the film does not allow any sign of emotional rapprochement with the characters, here left in a state of two-dimensionality and equally superficial psychological flatness.
Because we like it
- The inserts of the external settings.
- To the photo.
- To the duration.
- Characters who speak with cliches and psychologically poorly characterized.
- The direction does not exist.
- The superficiality of the script.
- Events told in an all too hasty way.

The mainstream media has finally caught on that the IRS scandal was yet another Republican scam. PoliticusUSA reported this nearly two months ago, but the The New York Times has come to the revelation that many other groups were targeted besides conservatives. The point that the mainstream media is finally realizing is that the IRS targeting wasn’t political. The entire picture painted by the documents related to the investigation reveals that, “progressive organizations, medical marijuana purveyors, organizations formed to carry out President Obama’s health care law, and open source software developers” were also targeted because they were suspected by the IRS of being for profit organizations.
While House Republicans have vowed to ease on down this scandal road to nowhere, Republican Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) told the Times that, “Presidents have always been very careful about maintaining the appearance of keeping hands off the IRS. I don’t have any reason to believe there wasn’t targeting of conservatives, but it might well have been a lot more than that as well.”
“May have been a lot more to it” is the best admission that the rest of the country is going to get from a Republican that there is nothing to this scandal. There was no conservative targeting for political purposes. President Obama wasn’t masterminding a scheme. There was no scandal at all.
An unintended consequence of the Republican attacks on the IRS has been that they have shined a big spotlight on their own dark money activities. People are now finding out that these conservative groups have been committing perjury by lying to IRS on a regular basis about their partisan political activities in order to avoid paying taxes.
The Republican planned summer of Obama scandals has sputtered and died. House Republicans will continue to chase their own tails on Benghazi and the IRS, but Blunt’s comments illustrate that a large majority of the Senate has no interest in pursuing bogus Obama scandals.
It looks like some parts of the mainstream media might be starting to figure out that the Republican strategy is to lie to them on a daily basis. Even full awareness of the GOP’s strategy won’t stop the press from reporting their lies as facts, but maybe they’ll actually ask a question or two before they pass off cooked up scandals and talking points as facts.
Roy Blunt will never ever be mistaken for a supporter of President Obama. He is the author of the infamous Blunt Amendment that would have given employers the right to decide if women can have access to birth control through their health insurance. This guy is a far right Republican, and even he is trying to get his own party to back away from the IRS conspiracy nonsense.
Sen. Blunt mostly admitted what the rest his own party won’t. The Obama led IRS scandal/conspiracy is dead.

The Bang and Olufsen (B&O) Beoplay A9 is an self enclosed streaming music hi-fi system that crosses that line between art and electronics. So what is it and what does it do? Basically, it is a self enclosed speaker array system, amplifiers, sound preprocessing unit and network node all in one. I am one of these people that does indeed appreciate good sound quality and had quite a few expensive audio components hooked-up in the living room: amplifiers, speakers, preamplifier, and CD-player. This unit replaced all of those things in a nice clean package. The Beoplay A9 would be perfect for people who want good sound quality to fill a larger room or space, but always want form along with the function. This background is important, here… I had found myself hooking up an Airport Express to all this fancy high-end audio equipment just to stream from iTunes, so I figured, ok, time to optimize. My plan is to offset the cost of the B&O by selling my equipment used.
Now just to be clear, this unit is expensive. It’s about USD 2,800 or about CAD3,700. However, I think it’s worth it if you want to up-your-game in sound quality for your streaming music.
The sound quality on the Beoplay A9 is pretty good. The speaker array consists of a subwoofer along with mid and high-range speakers: there are 5 speakers located in this unit. It delivers reasonably good bass, and keeps the sound quality and high audio levels – there is not a lot of distortion. I have never had any problems with Wi-Fi streaming audio, and I never experienced any blips in the sound or networking problems. After weeks of use, it has been very reliable as an AirPlay receiver on my network. I mainly use it to stream from iTunes, but you can also stream from Spotify and other services. A cool feature of the unit is that there are touch sensitive controls along the top: a left side, right side and sweep sensor area along the top. It is kinda cool to sweep your fingers along the top to raise the volume. There is a mobile app that can be used for setup and monitoring of the Beoplay A9, where you can control things such as the maximum volume, and check the network connection settings, etc. There is also another separate mobile app for hooking the A9 to your phone for streaming, or streams across multiple Beoplay devices in your house. One problem that has been posted on various forums is the clunky setup procedure, it took me a bit to get it setup (the light codes required some interpretation but the language-independent visual instructions kinda fell short)… but, be patient, when it gets setup it works fine every time. Another cool feature of this is that the cover can be customized and changed, and there are even third-party companies that make covers for it.
So, back to the sound for a minute. It’s not fair to compare this unit to high-end audio equipment and dedicated speakers, but I did have the chance to do a side-by-side comparison. What you miss in this unit compared to the most expensive audio components is a bit of richness in the sound and bass. Speakers which are larger and made from wood have a certain smoothness in the bass that are missing from the Beoplay A9, and you’ll never be able to match the power delivered by a dedicated power amplifier: the A9 does delivers 160 W for bass and 2×80 for other speakers, but I was comparing it to a amplifier that had balanced inputs and 2 x 150W outputs. Yeah, it’s not entirely fair. But, that being said, I am really happy… it looks great, sounds great for what it is, and I am certain you’ll be thrilled.
The bottom line: The Beoplay A9 delivers very good sound with a visual and industrial design that make this a conversation piece in your living room.

Thomas Rongen's U-20s will face Paraguay, third in the South American under-20 championship completed last night in Uruguay, on March 27, Asian champion South Korea on March 30 and European runner-up Germany on April 2. All the games will be played in Dubai, not Al Ain as previously reported.
There has been concern that the World Youth Championship will have to be moved from the UAE in the event of a U.S.-led war against Iraq. The United States has a military base in Al Dafrah, located south of Dubai. Complicating matters is that FIFA may be forced to decide before a war were to break out to move the tournament. Most observers believe an attack would begin in late February or early March. Japan has been rumored to be in line to host the tournament in case it is decided that the UAE can't host the tournament. It is not known if the dates of the tournament would change in case it is moved.
FIFA's president, Sepp Blatter, has close ties to the UAE and the Gulf States. FIFA announced yesterday that it had signed a $30 million deal to make Emirates Airline the 13th official partner of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Koeman’s use of Leighton Baines (£5.5m) on the left of a four-man midfield bodes well for the left-back’s Fantasy Premier League potential.
The England player has produced 52 assists in the previous eight seasons and is likely to benefit from a more advanced berth should Koeman retain his current set-up.
Barkley, in particular, turned in a strong display, bagging the Toffees’ opener and earning maximum bonus points.
Mirallas earned the assist for his fellow midfielder’s strike and was handed corner-kick duties by the new manager.
Gerard Deulofeu (£6.5m) was fielded as the lone striker as a result of Romelu Lukaku’s (£9.0m) absence with a heel injury. The Spaniard fired three attempts, averaging an effort every 22.7 minutes, before being replaced in the second period.
With Lukaku due back imminently, though, and new signing Yannick Bolasie (£6.0m) also in contention, Koeman’s preferred formation going forward remains in question.
Encouragingly for the new manager, Everton embark on a run where they face just one of last season’s top eight in the next eight Gameweeks.
Going on Saturday’s showing, Barkley looks the most impressive performer so far. As well as producing a 10-point return, the 10.5%-owned midfielder also registered more attempts on goal (four) and created more chances (three) than any team-mate.

women Cressids, and all brokers-between Pandars! say, amen.
I entirely agree with Mr. Tyrwhitt, and am happy to have his opinion in support of the reading of the old copy, from which, in my apprehension, we ought not to deviate, except in cases of extreme necessity. Of the assertion in the latter part of his note, relative to the constancy of Troilus, various proofs are furnished by our old poets. So, in A gorgeous Gallery of gallant Inventions, &c. 4to. 1578:
“ But if thou me forsake,
“ As Cressid that forgot
“ True Troilus, her make,” &c. Again, ibid :
“ As Troilus' truth shall be
“ To kepe my pen from blame,
“ For to resound thy shame.” Mr. M. Mason objects, that constant cannot be the true reading, because Pandarus has already supposed that they should both prove false to each other, and it would therefore be absurd for him to say that Troilus should be quoted as an example of constancy. But to this the answer is, that Shakspeare himself knew what the event of the story was, and who the person was that did prove false ; that many expressions in his plays have dropped from him, in consequence of that knowledge, that are improper in the mouth of the speaker; and that, in his licentious mode of writing, the words, “ if ever you prove false to one another," may mean, not, if you both prove false, but, if it should happen that any falshood or breach of faith should disunite you, who are now thus attached to each other. This might and did happen, by one of the parties proving false, and breaking her engagement.
The modern editions read-if ever you prove false to one another ; but the reading of the text is that of the quarto and folio, and was the phraseology of Shakspeare's age. MALONE.
It is clearly the intention of the poet that this imprecation should be such a one as was verified by the event, as it is in part to this very day. But neither was Troilus ever used to denote an inconstant lover, nor, if we believe the story, did he ever deserve the character, as both the others did in truth deserve that shame here imprecated upon them. Besides, Pandarus seems to adjust his imprecation to those of the other two pre
PAN. Amen. Whereupon I will show you a chamber and a bed, which bed, because it shall not speak of your pretty encounters, press it to
death : away:
And Cupid grant all tongue-tied maidens here, Bed, chamber, Pandar to provide this geer!
The Grecian Camp.
Enter AGAMEMNON, ULYSSES, DIOMEDES, NESTOR,
AJAX, MENELAUS, and Calchas.
CAL. Now, princes, for the service I have done
you, The advantage of the time prompts me aloud To call for recompense. Appear it to your mind,
ceding, just as they dropped from their lips; as false as Cressid, and, consequently, as true (or as constant) as Troilus.
HEATH. - and a bed,] These words are not in the old copy,
but what follows shows that they were inadvertently omitted.
MALONE. This deficiency was supplied by Sir Thomas Hanmer. He reads, however, a chamber with a bed; which bed, because" &c. STEEVENS.
Appear it to your mind,] Sir Thomas Hanmer, very properly in my opinion, reduces this line to measure, by reading :
-Appear it to you,— STEEVENS.
That, through the sight I bear in things, to Jove I have abandon'd. Troy, left my possession,
through the sight I bear in things, to Jove &c.] This passage, in all the modern editions, is silently depraved, and printed thus :
through the sight I bear in things to come, The word is so printed that nothing but the sense can determine whether it be love or Jove. I believe that the editors read it as love, and therefore made the alteration to obtain some meaning.
JOHNSON. I do not perceive why love, the clear and evident reading of both the quartos and folios, should be passed over without some attempt to explain it. In my opinion it may signify—“ No longer assisting Troy with my advice, I have left it to the dominion of love, to the consequences of the amour of Paris and Helen.”
STEEVENS. * That, through the sight I bear in things, to Jove
I have abandon'd Troy, &c.] This reasoning perplexes Mr. Theobald: “ He foresaw his country was undone; he ran over to the Greeks; and this he makes a merit of says the editor). I own (continues he) the motives of his oratory seem to be somewhat perverse and unnatural. Nor do I know how to reconcile it, unless our poet purposely intended to make Calchas act the part of a true priest, and so from motives of self-interest insinuate the merit of service." The editor did not know how to reconcile this. Nor I neither, For I do not know what he means by “ the motives of his oratory,” or, “ from motives of self-interest to insinuate merit.” But if he would insinuate, that it was the poet's design to make his priest self-interested, and to represent to the Greeks that what he did for his own preservation, was done for their service, he is mistaken. Shakspeare thought of nothing so silly, as it would be to draw his priest a knave, in order to make him talk like a fool. Though that be the fate which generally attends their abusers. But Shakspeare was no such; and consequently wanted not this cover for dulness. The perverseness is all the editor's own, who interprets,
through the sight I have in things to come,
I have abandon’d Troy,to signify, “by my power of prescience finding my country must be ruined, I have therefore abandoned it to seek refuge with you ;" whereas the true sense is, “ Be it known unto you, that on account of a gift or faculty I have of seeing things to
Incurr'd a traitor's name; expos’d myself,
come, which faculty I suppose would be esteemed by you as acceptable and useful, I have abandoned Troy my native country.”
That he could not mean what the editor supposes, appears from these considerations : First, if he had represented himself as running from a falling city, he could never have said: “ I have
“ To doubtful fortunes ;Secondly, the absolute knowledge of the fall of Troy was a secret hid from the inferior gods themselves; as appears from the poetical history of that war. It depended on many contingencies, whose existence they did not foresee. All that they knew was, that if such and such things happened, Troy would fall. And this secret they communicated to Cassandra only, but along with it, the fate not to be believed. Several others knew each a several part of the secret; one, that Troy could not be taken unless Achilles went to the war; another, that it could not fall while it had the palladium; and so on.
But the secret, that it was absolutely to fall, was known to none.
---The sense here given will admit of no dispute among those who know how acceptable a seer was amongst the Greeks. So that this Calchas, like a true priest, if it needs must be so, went where he could exercise his profession with most advantage. For it being much less common amongst the Greeks than the
Asiaticks, there would be a greater demand for it. WARBURTON.
I am afraid, that after all the learned commentator's efforts to clear the argument of Calchas, it will still appear
liable to objection ; nor do I discover more to be urged in his defence, than that though his skill in divination determined him to leave Troy, yet that he joined himself to Agamemnon and his army by unconstrained good-will; and though he came as a fugitive escaping from destruction, yet his services after his reception, being voluntary and important, deserved reward. This argument is not regularly and distinctly deduced, but this is, I think, the best explication that it will yet admit. Johnson.
In p. 239, n. 4, an account has been given of the motives which induced Calchas to abandon Troy. The services to which he alludes, a short quotation from Lydgate will sufficiently explain. Auncient Hist. &c. 1555:
To doubtful fortunes; séquest'ring from me all That time, acquaintance, custom, and condition,
“ He entred into the oratorye,
“ And be right helping to their good spede." Mr. Theobald thinks it strange that Calchas should claim any merit for having joined the Greeks after he had said that he knew his country was undone; but there is no inconsistency: he had left, from whatever cause, what was dear to him, his country, friends, children, &c. and, having joined and served the Greeks, was entitled to protection and reward.
On the phrase-As new into the world, (for so the old copy reads,) I must observe, that it appears from a great number of passages in our old writers, the word into was formerly often used in the sense of unto, as it evidently is here. In proof of this assertion the following passages may be adduced:
" It was a pretty part in the old church-playes when the nimble Vice would skip up nimbly like a jackanapes into the devil's necke, and ride the devil a course.' Harsnet's Declaration of Popish Impostures, 4to. 1602.
Again, in a letter written by J. Paston, July 8, 1468; Paston Letters, Vol. II. p. 5: “—and they that have justed with him into this day, have been as richly beseen,” &c.
Again, in Laneham's Account of the Entertainment at Kenelworth, 1575: “ --what time it pleased her to ryde forth into the chase, to hunt the hart of fors; which found, anon,” &c.
Chase, indeed, may mean here, the place in which the Queen hunted; but I believe it is employed in the more ordinary

Saladman wrote:Never forget Wanda has a headache spell! Seriously, I do think Croakamancy might have some spells we haven't seen. Either Wanda didn't catch them all (starting spells especially sound semi-random), or she's focused on what she's best at.
I suspect that Croakamancy is indeed much like other disciplines in that it has "flavors" depending on the personal inclinations of the individual casters. Like for Dollamancy a caster could specialze in "plush" (golems) like the late Miss Shortcake, "accessories" (items) like our friend Ace, "fabrication/raiment" like a MK caster trying to scrape by their upkeep. We've seen the uncroaking (single or en masse) part of Croakamancy, but there's so much more potential that just hasn't been covered in the story yet. Consider a snippet from earlier in Wanda's story combined with what we know of Jillan's experience in the box:"She had senses that she did not yet understand were unique to Croakamancers, and she used them on the fallen scout. His bones she could feel without touching him. She knew which ribs and teeth and vertebrae were broken. There would be some craft to this uncroaking, as not all of the original muscles and sinew could be counted on to perform their original functions...Where a knee would no longer bend, where a bicep no longer existed to flex an arm, the Croakamancer made magical Motion to move the Matter."
It's possible that a Croakmancer can apply their craft to a living
body - i.e. cause a headache or pain anywhere in the body, simulate sensory depraviation, paralyzation, etc. Maybe even one-shot kill a unit with something like a "Word of Death" spell. Hello! Your organs no longer work. No Motion. Have fun with that. Truly scary things can be done with just a little application by someone who knows their anatomy, and I shudder to think how that extrapolates when magical Croakamancy senses and juice to cast are available options. We just haven't seen more than uncroaking out of Wanda so far.

Add Voicemail to Mobile
Adding a voicemail recording to a standard mobile phone.
This has to be one of the most asked questions.
You first need to understand that the standard mobile voicemail isn’t designed for business call handling, for that you would be better suited to a VOIP services such as Vonage or Number Group these are cloud based call handling companies. Worth checking out if you need multiple messages, On Hold or Busy messages or even welcome options. Standard mobiles don’t offer this.
There are 2 ways to get your professional voice recording onto a standard mobile phone voicemail
- Simply play the recording from a speaker into your mobile as if you were speaking into the hand set yourself.
- Supply the following information so that i can access your mobile’s voicemail settings. (As above you need to know that because this options uses a landline to a mobile phone the final quality of the message being sent to your mobile phone can not be guaranteed and the cost of the recording will still apply should there be any issues when providing this option.
You need to supply:
- The name of your mobile network service.
- The mobile number you wish you use the recording on.
- A valid security PIN number so that i can access your services voicemail. (This is NOT the PIN number used to unlock your mobile phone) it is a security PIN that you will need to set up or activate so that your phone’s mail box can be accessed from a standard land line.
Networks offer different methods for this, to help please see the links below, note that any default PIN codes will NOT work. You need to ‘set up’ and ‘activate’ these features first.
O2 voicemail number

- 6 to skip five seconds forwards
After you listen to your messages you can dial:
- 1 to replay
- 2 to save

Three North Yorkshire companies have created the perfect recipe to help celebrate National Pie Week. The Yorkshire Baker, based in Malton has teamed up with Hunters of Helmsley and the Benedictine monks of Ampleforth Abbey to create the perfect Yorkshire pie.
The tasty treat, which is called the Slow Roast Pork and Ampleforth Abbey Cider Pie has been made from the very best local ingredients. The filling contains slow roasted chopped pork shoulder, marinated with four herbs, added to a sauce made from onions, garlic, cream, gherkins and mustard. This is covered with the all important Ampleforth cider, fresh from the 100-year old orchard at the abbey. The filling is encased with a butter shortcrust base and topped off by a hand crimped puff pastry lid. These special pies will be available from Hunters of Helmsley Deli, based in the award winning town’s high street.
Owner, Chris Garnett said: “The aim was to collaborate with outstanding Yorkshire-based producers, who are passionate about their craft and who strive to create extraordinary products. We’re very lucky to have some amazing producers and suppliers on our doorstep. We love working with them to do something a little bit out of the ordinary”
The pies will cost £2.60 each and can be bought from Hunters, who won an award for the “best small shop,” at the House of Commons last year. They will be available during Pie week which ends on 13th March and afterwards.
Fr Terence Richardson OSB, Prior of Ampleforth Abbey added: “The apples are handpicked, pressed and bottled on site here in the Ampleforth valley and, as ours is a whole juice cider, the finished product has a refreshing taste and pleasant apple aroma which perfectly compliments the pork.”
Gill Ridgard, founder of the Yorkshire Baker, added: “The new ‘Slow Roast Pork and Ampleforth Abbey Cider Pie’ is something very special, and we hope that Hunters’ customers will enjoy it as much as we do!”
If you are in the area, why not pop in and try one!

The real thinking behind the Windows 32GB format limit on FAT32 was done by Dave Plummer, a Microsoft engineer, in the 1970s. Plummer pondered what cluster size to use with a deep consideration of Windows' future users. His options were to define the appropriate volume size since the FAT32 file system already contained the maximum number of clusters.
He considered it a waste of space to use FAT32 on large volumes. If he attempted to increase the cluster size, it would also need an increase in volume, which would be costly and a waste of valuable space. His option was, therefore, to choose a 32-kilobyte cluster size that would leave behind no little space, even when it stores the smallest file with a few bytes.
His real thinking behind the 32GB Windows format limit on FAT32 was to promote its efficiency by minimizing the unnecessary space left after storing some data. You can know more about the thinking via the YouTube video made by Dave Plummer.
FAT32 is a version of the File Allocation Table(FAT) that uses 32 bits of data to identify data clusters within a given storage device. FAT32 is most common since its compatible with different devices, including:
- Digital cameras
- Gaming consoles, etc.
The file system also works on different operating systems, including Windows 11/10/8/7, Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. Microsoft mainly introduced FAT32 to increase file system capacities and support more character names (255).
If a drive failure occurs, FAT32 will move the root directory to a new location and use the backup copy. FAT32 is also known for reducing cluster waste since it uses smaller cluster sizes in situations where the drive capacity is small, and any reduction could be meaningful.
Microsoft chose 32GB as the maximum partition size for a FAT32 file system. The main reason for this was to promote its new file system (NTFS), considered more efficient when working with large partitions. Despite that, the 32GB limit on FAT32 has influenced the file system differently. These include the following:
- Maximum file size of 4GB. If you have a file large than 4GB, the FAT32 file system won't allow you to save it. You'll receive errors such as "The Parameter Is Incorrect" or "The File Is Too Large for Destination File System.”
- A maximum partition size of 2TB. FAT32 doesn't allow you to partition a hard drive of 3TB or more. Therefore, you'll need to install a third-party partition tool to format large partitions. This is not possible with Windows Disk Management since it will only allow you to partition at most 32GB.
- No journaling. Since FAT32 doesn't support file journaling, the system is more prone to file corruption. Such a problem is not common with a modern file system like NTFS because it has a journaling system that logs in changes to the drive before you make them. Therefore, it won't take long to recover the operation if you encounter a power failure when writing on the disk.
- Doesn't support file permissions. The main reason for file permission is to enhance the security of your data. Since FAT32 doesn't allow you to set file permissions, you cannot prevent a given program from being modified by different users. You'll also not restrict user access to specific files stored on your system. This is unlike the NTFS file system, which is quite secure.
Despite the many limitations of the 32GB Windows format on FAT32, you can still find ways to break the barriers using third-party tools or command prompts.
Plummer says that the 32GB Windows format limit on FAT32 hasn't been changed by anyone because "I said so." Although it was his personal decision at the time, he still believes he did the right thing. When testing the maximum file limit to apply on FAT32, Plummer argues that the largest memory card at his disposal was 16MB.
He, therefore, used this capacity when testing the FAT32 file system that he had created as an engineer at Microsoft. He multiplied the 16MB capacity by a thousand and then doubled it to obtain the maximum file size that could forever work for any device running on NT 4.0. He, therefore, picked 32GB as the limit.
Plummer also asserts that he based his decision on the theory that 16TB is currently the maximum volume size for a file system. If other developers changed this value, it could drastically override the presets, including FAT32. Developers had to stick with the decision made by Plummer (of limiting 32GB format to FAT32) to avoid any conflicts with the file system already in existence.
This is, therefore, the real reason for the 32GB Windows format limit on FAT 32 to date.
How Can You Break the FAT32 File Size Limit?
The easiest way to break the FAT32 size limit is to use the command prompt because it’s available for most Windows computers. With the command prompt, you can solve Windows boot issues, manage disks, and execute batch files. Command prompt can help your break the limitations of FAT32 by converting it to NTFS through the following steps:
1. Press the Windows key + R to open the run dialog box.
2. Type “cmd” to open the command prompt.
3. Next, type “help convert” and press the Enter key.
4. Type the following command at the command line prompt: convert (drive letter): /fs:ntfs.
5. Once the conversion process is complete, type Exit to quit the process. You've now converted the FAT32 partition to NTFS; hence no further limitations concerning the 32Gb file size.
Or you can read this article for a more overall guide on how to convert FAT32 to NTFS
Note: Once the conversion process completes, you will likely see an error message: “Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).” However, this should not worry you much since you’ve already converted your partition to NTFS.
You’ll need to go to Disk Management and check the error. Something else to note is that once you’ve converted your FAT32 to NTFS, the process is irreversible. You should therefore be cautious about this issue.

AURORA, Ind. — Christmas has come early for the students, staff and parents of Saint Mary's School.
The school had to raise $400,000 by year's end to stay open through the current school year, and they did it.
An announcement at Saint Mary's 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday informed parishioners that the goal has been reached.
The school raised $116,000, and three anonymous donors came forward to make up the difference.
Principal Bob Brookbank says he's thankful and delighted things turned out the way they did.
The school will celebrate Monday at 1 p.m.

Obviously physical beauty will bring in a guy in the first place, and even keep him interested for a while, but at a certain stage, physical beauty may fade and when that happens, what will you fall back in a relationship? Of course this rule may apply to women who opt for a guy purely on his looks. As the expression goes: Beauty awakens. So here's what. . .
And is" a local sluts Saint-Juste-du-Lac. " He got four Eagle Feathers about the Boy Scout scale, one small he- man picture on the male ego scale and three thumbs up on the" parent rating. " I wasn't certain if that meant he had been a great parent or could be helpful to bring home to your parents, assuming that they had been still alive. In any event, he scored pretty well. The only place I'd have differed with all the ex- wives' evaluation was that despite giving him credit for" good posture" they only gave him two miniature profiles about the handsomeness score. And I'm pretty sure that as this guy Robert Redford doesn't look as local teen sluts Barss Corners NS in person. I took another puff on the inhaler for good measure, poked about on GreatBoyfriends a little more, and called it a night.
Why do I want to spend my life with one if I was miserable even being about guys like this? The pursuit of love was making me accept significantly less than I deserved, and consequently, which makes me hate the human race, myself, and my entire Barss Corners NS. I was filled with pleasure, and I really don't want to tamper with that anymore.
DON'T LIE ABOUT YOUR AGE When you begin a relationship with a lie, it makes it difficult to create any kind of trust. It is, although you may not think lying about your age is a big deal. So why not be upfront, you can't lie forever? If there is a man looking for a woman in her thirties, then he is going to know fairly fast you don't fit the bill.
The truth is they are guessing at it. Our sincere decision is they have not been outside on a number of dates themselves. Maybe not more than two. More precisely it is probably in the area of one and 1date they've ever been on. INQUIRING MINDS The question asked by the dater you can imagine up shapes along the lines of something like this. " So handsome, what all sorts of fantastic things have you got going for yourself? " This is the question. This is the quiz born in doing a backgrounder on a date. The asker wants to understand whatever it might possibly be supporting the individual with whom they are speaking that makes him worth something- - anything. It's the probing query that contributes to the question the guy ought to be asking himself about his lady date in turn: what exactly does the date have going for herself, is exactly what also needs to be searchingly asked in a comprehensive question.
Let us become a little technical here. If we use an explanation from the all- knowing Wikipedia, online dating, or what we commonly refer to as online dating, is an introductory system( an introductory system is any system that lets you present yourself) that allows you to use internet- based services like websites and other programs to locate, interact, and contact other singles.
It is harder for her to deny you after half an hour of interacting especially if the interaction is going good. She has invested this much time she does not wish to lose you. We spend more in matters we invested a great deal in.
If things are going well with a person, you begin to develop a connection. This does not necessarily imply being local female escorts and sluts Barss Corners with them; it just means that you have gone past the first couple of dates. You'll knowyou're doing well with this step if you aren't going after date on date, and you are continuing to observe the identical person for dates and are appreciating it.
The reason men think about sex more since men are more easy to sexually stimulate than women, than women are. We get a boner and can look at a cleavage. This is because men are more visually stimulated while women tend to be more stimulated.
Your spouse be careful about their diet and will be keen on local sluts 4chan Baljennie. He or she'll possess a balanced fitness regimen because in the past he /she may have suffered from a lack of addiction or energy to exercise. Additionally, she or he could be recuperating from an illness. As a result of this, your prospective spouse is looking for a balanced approach to health. Their attention is having weight loss and increased energy.
Women are attracted but that does not make it any less true although it's paradoxical on a certain level. She'll know that she lost him greater Despite the fact that a woman knows that she'll lose him.
My rule for photographs is that: They have to be prepared for" Primetime. " Be certain that whatever you post will be fine if it were broadcast on a network television newscast. If it doesn't pass this test, DO NOT post them. This goes for every image you post. Bear in mind, the photographs you are carrying are for your partner. Never mind what you think about them, you're selling yourself and although it may make some of you uncomfortable, know when your pictures are substandard which people will never see your profile. You're competing with those who have taken professional photographs and are serious about being successful, so take this seriously. Make every picture sharp and clear shots of YOU. Here are a few tips.
This doesn't mean he acts like a clown for other people enjoyment. In fact, making fun of yourself can make if performed too 20, you seem submissive.
Eye and smiling Contact Smiling makes you look unafraid and confident, which makes it more easy for other people to talk to you. Here is the single biggest step you can take to become more approachable. Your lack of smile or Barss Corners check online dating app contact could be the problem Should you feel others don't Barss Corners NS algorithm of dating apps to connect with you personally.
If you have some weird things leave out the details of your profile off or you can choose to soften the blow. Lying by omission is appropriate if you discover including your fact is preventing you from becoming in- person dates. It's also only permissible if you plan on sharing your story in dating someone, early. If you meet and choose to provide whatever bad news you have in person, when you feel the time is correct, it might be more forgivable rather than if you lied about it. A fantastic illustration of this is being blessed. It's not especially if there are no messy Barss Corners Nova Scotia security cam casual sex attached. This Barss Corners truck park hookers of discussion will obviously come up in the second or first date, so there's no need to include it.
Of seeing your Twin Flame, your expectations will hurt you more- - anticipating your Twin Flame to return is a waste of your precious energy. Rather, use that energy to love yourself to feel better about who you are. You're at the middle of their Twin Flame connection, and the further you take excellent care of yourself, the longer of being a Flame, the process will make you happy.
Because individuals were bad at filling it out okCupid likely got rid of the successful muslim dating apps Barss Corners Nova Scotia. Consolo fuck buddy Grand Rapids usually only answer with" only ask" or Barss Corners local free sluts" you are going to have to meet me to find out. " Cut that shit out. Don't speak about the way the thing you are willing to acknowledge is thatyou're on an online dating site. Is that really the best you can come up with? You need to compose a answer. Oh, and do not just assume that since the question has the term" personal" in it that it's referring to sex.
Until a woman particularly TELLS you something bad, never presume it for yourself. Always assume the best. Assume that she likes you. Assume that she wishes to get to know you better. If you allow yourself to think Barss Corners Nova Scotia fuck buddy vermillion sd she wouldn't want to go on the date, you may talk yourself.
God. Peace, love and happiness and positive energy and smiley faces wrapped up in one ten- years- younger- than- me guy who thought I was" fabulous. " It was, in fact, unnerving. But he was the man. Given the odds, and now that it looked like happily ever after was not occurring with Oliver, he could just be" the find local teen sluts Barss Corners. " Regardless of myself, I found myself podcast recommended dating apps off giddy little responses. . .
Quit assuming things relating to your partner. In spite of the reality that both of you possess a great deal in maintaining, you aren't mosting likely to navigate completely compatible one an additional. Once they give you a the same, offer your companion room to breathe as well as accept it. It's healthy to lead a presence outdoors from the partnership as lengthy as it isn't interrupting the primary from the Barss Corners NS local tumblr sluts.
Do not take photos of your self in the bathroom mirror or by pointing the camera back and extending your arm out. Keep your arms bent or comfortable at your sides- - maybe not crossed, in your pockets, or behind your back.
Here's the Barss Corners meld online dating cost to grasp concerning all this: FEELINGS OF ATTRACTION ARE DIFFERENT FOR A WOMAN THAN THEY ARE FOR A Guy. THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT! Of course, as a guy, you have the Barss Corners local sluts dtf near you to prevent this negative pattern of behavior if you would like to.
If the girl can not make it great, you've got more time. You can sit and watch a Barss Corners NS lake tahoe hookers or read a book or perhaps attempt to prepare a date with another woman. Don't get butt Barss Corners local anal sluts. Time is valuable so make use of it.
While you ought to take time getting to know someone if they continuously show you that they are supportive and dependable you will start to consider it. So that you could be honest with others continue to be truthful with yourself, and finding is just around the corner.
Using my example, my Twin Flame and I met but because we come from two distinct continents, we needed to separate. Hookers fucking for cash to the long- distance relationship along with also the difference in time zones influence what time we can speak to talk to each other, therefore our communication system shifted.
Like, " I think you are a fantastic guy, I just don't think that it's going to work" , or" I am simply not ready to proceed with whatever right now" . Then lay down the law and you may need to give him it if he gets pissy. Obviously you have to do what's ideal for you and your online dating scammers photos. I have a tendency to be a bit feisty, so if he gives me a hard time, then you can rest assured he's going to have a mouthful with a spicy Latina roll of your mind. But if he's a jerk about it is sexy local sluts Barss Corners Nova Scotia to resort to these steps.

I just knew I would love this as soon as I spotted the book on Twitter. I always love it when authors write a retelling of fairy tales. Especially if those retellings are filled with zombies, arsonists, talking sheep, vampires, and more!
The book also has a narrator, and while I often did like it, other times I was just bored by it. Especially the whole spelling/grammar stuff just got annoying. We get it. Pee and Pea, Reign and Rain and Rein, etc. etc..
I did like that the narrator was heard/seen by the characters (for instance by Goldilocks).
The book also loves breaking fourth wall, and I do like a book that does that.
There are also illustrations in the book, and I just adore the style. It really made the story come alive (and no, not as a zombie).
All the stories are connected together. They take place in the same kingdom, and there are other things that connect these characters together. It was a really fun surprise when I found out.
Now I have written a small review for each of the stories/chapters. I have also given them a star rating.
Prologue: Unfair Hair: 4 stars. Wow, well, I definitely didn’t expect THAT to happen when the prince climbed up Rapunzel’s tower. I loved this Rapunzel, she is totally kick-ass and Herr was pretty amazing (though creepy and too hungry for my liking). I had a laugh at how the prince acted, and then was chewed out. Poor idiot. He should have checked the tower more thoroughly. 😛 The ending shouldn’t have come as a surprise considering the hints that were thrown around, but I still found it surprising. waves bye bye to the prince
One thing that I didn’t like that much, is the narration. I just had an headache after a while (with all the spelling stuff and trying to make it oh so funny).
But all in all, a funny start to a hopefully funny book.
Story 1: Snow White Blood Red: 5 stars. I just adored this story. A whole different and bloody twist on the Snow White story. We still have an obsessed queen/stepmother (though I didn’t think she was that evil, especially considering what Snow White was, I think anyone would go a bit bonkers then). Snow White was creepy as hell, I do wonder if she knows what she is.
Narration was OK, less annoying this time.
Story 2: The Princess and the… pea?: 4.5 stars. I knew it! I knew it! I won’t tell you what though, as you do need to be as surprised as I was when that came around. 😛 I loved the story, it is a whole new twist on this story. The princesses were terrible though, but well, that was the point I guess. They can’t be too cheery or happy, or singsongy, as the queen/king won’t like that. But it was hilarious to see all the different princesses and see what made them worse than the previous princess (or even the queen).
I also loved that the stories kind of connect in a way. We meet Jack again (from story 1), we read about Jill, we hear about Snow White, we see our prince (and his tower) again. It is such a delight!
Just a shame that once again that spelling stuff raises its head. 😐 I am getting a bit bored with it.
Story 3: Little Dead Riding Hood: 5 stars! OMG this was absolutely brilliant. I loved how this story connected with the previous one (and with Jack’s as this is Jill’s story). Plus how can I not like a Red Riding Hood who is THAT. It is just perfection, though I do have to say I feel slightly sorry for the wolf. Eh, I guess he had it coming. He should have run away when he could. 😛 The classical scene between “Grandma” and Red Riding Hood was just perfection! I had such a laugh, and then I got a bit sick as the conversation went a certain way. I loved the ending, and I fear for the kingdoms.
Maybe people shouldn’t underestimate little girls, they can be quite dangerous. 😉
Story 4: Cinders and Ashes: 4.5 stars. I loved how this wove Cinderella with the prince and the kingdom we saw earlier (the one with the peas :P). It was also quite long, I believe it is one of the longest chapters in the book.
Cinderella, well… I can tell you I certainly hadn’t expected her to be like that. Or the Prince for that matter. But back to Cinderella, I guess stepmother dearest did have a good reason to keep Cinderella away from public. And to make sure she didn’t have anything around her. With the revelation now out in the open it also explained quite a few other things in the story.
All in all, a very nice twist on the Cinderella story, a twist that certainly fits and makes sense though.
Plus I loved the ending to the story, it was adorable! They do make a fetching couple!
Story 5: Goldilocks and the Three Scares: 5 stars! OMG this was just the best Goldilocks story I have ever read. I knew from the start what Three Scares meant, but it was still oh so much fun when those scares came into picture. I was worried (along with the narrator) for Goldilocks, but I shouldn’t have been worried. 😛 That girl rocks!
This was just a hilarious story. Plus how can I resist creatures like that?
Story 6: Jack the Beanstalker: 2 stars. Easily the most boring story in the book, yes, I haven’t read them all, but I never really liked Jack, so it doesn’t help it when he gets a whole story for himself. I just struggled to get through the pages, the story wasn’t even so exciting or different. There were no big twists or turns. The best thing was to see the other characters while Jack was climbing the beanstalk.
Story 7: Bad Apple: 4.5 stars. Ohhhhh, we are back with Snow White. Just like in the original story, the huntsman failed, though in this one he pays a much bigger price. 😛 There are dwarfs (or well children with excessive hair growth), and of course the prince also pops up, though with attachment. And we learn a bit more about the stepmother (I could have seen that one coming, but I didn’t). I had a laugh at Cinderella and her hubby burning stuff left and right (even going as far to spell Cinderella’s name). Yep, if the kingdom isn’t going down by zombies and vampires, I guess it will burn down. 😛
Story 8: The Boy Who Cried Zombies: 4 stars. Ah, hello again Jack. This time he is taking care of Mary’s lambs (yes, that Mary). You can imagine how the story goes, a boy cries wolf. But what happens if you do it too much and suddenly there are really wolves, or are they wolves? 😛 I loved that Goldilocks was also there and of course kicking butt! You go girl!
I had a laugh at the villagers, especially the lady+pie. What the sheep did near the end, it was brilliant. I surely didn’t expect that, and I would have reacted the same way as Jack if I had been around them and they never did x.
Story 9: Vampires and Zombies and Stepmothers, Oh My!: 4.5 stars. A great conclusion to a great book, though, yes, Jack that plan was just stupid. Oh well, I guess that is a problem for another day. 😛
It was really fun to see all the characters together, good and bad. From Cinderella to Jill, everyone was there! I loved how the good guys banded together to defeat the evil. Go team, go.
Between the stories are intermissions, poems, that continue the story or tell us what is happening in the kingdom (which are hints to what is coming).
All in all a great read, I did enjoy it a lot. I laughed, I had goosebumps, I was cheering for characters, I was delighted at how everything connected. Yep, I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

Educational Webinar: Economic Development Grant Writing and Administration
This webinar was recorded on May 20, 2021, but you can access it anytime.
Economic Development Grant Writing and Administration
When economic development grants money is provided to economic development organizations (EDO) to support local economies, create jobs, revitalize distressed communities, launch strategic projects, etc., it is sometimes the job of the EDO to determine how, and to whom, the grant money is distributed. There are many legal and technical aspects to be covered, schedules to be created, forms to be specialized, and sometimes this needs to be done very quickly. Hear from speakers experienced in writing grants to understand the basics of writing grants, how to run a program, challenges, and best practices from real examples.

A person of utmost kindness will always be remembered not only for his deeds but mostly by God's graces bestowed on him when he was alive.
January 15, 2015 is a day of grief for New World. George Kurian, the late Editor-in-Chief of New World left us with a legacy. The family and all of his friends all over the world had been gripped by an extraordinary loss in their lives.
George Kurian, from the eyes of his writers had been an outstanding Editor. He had been meticulous, careful, accurate, emphatic, artistic, caring and compassionate to the poor and needy.
Today, July 15 in the year of our Lord 2015, we are republishing most of George' writings of which my favourite has been Red Roses.

It is very important know that the owners from the transport company often attempt to achieve sustainable logistics, particularly the English sustainable logistics. Wondering how you can do it skillfully and quickly? There are presently many people who want to apply lasting logistics.
It is impossible to cover that sustainable logistics is extremely beneficial for the environment around all of us. What should I do to carry out transport ecologically? There are currently no shortage of people who are wondering about it. There are also people who claim that these types of issues are not needed. This is, however , a wrong approach to the topic – eventually the infected environment negatively works for really everyone. You need to be completely aware of this issue. So it’s simply no wonder that people are deliberating what can be done to make these types of issues actually taken care of. Logistics is very important. It is important to be well aware of this issue. It is not possible to forget this fact below any circumstance. It is important to point out that sustainable logistics can be executed, for example , by a good path selection. They should be relatively shortest. It is also important to use the exact allocation of trucks-select automobiles that are efficient and efficient. Shopping practices are also important. It is not possible to hide that this driving itself is also essential. You need to drive your truck so you don’t pollute the environment. It is impossible to mention, that ecologically-carried transport is not only cheaper, but also more beneficial to the environment around us.

Mrs. Ella L. Jordan founded the City of Pensacola’s Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc. She was a devoted club worker, community leader, educator, political activist, and a dedicated woman who worked for the betterment of the Pensacola community.
Mrs. Jordan dedicated her life to the Club’s works and community activities. Her home, originally built in the 1890’s, served as an important social and educational institution for the African-American community for several years; it also served as the Federation’s Club Home.
In addition to serving as a club house, the Ella Jordan Home was a hub for social and cultural gatherings, including significant assemblies. The Club and the Home provided a way for African-American women in segregated Pensacola to identify and meet the needs of their community. The Ella L. Jordan Home is historically significant because of the activities of the Pensacola Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs.
Now, closing in on its 125th birthday, this historical landmark is in need of restoration to continue the legacy and life-long commitment of Mrs. Ella Jordan, the Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, and to give hope to a new generation. The Mother Wit Institute, Inc., whose many members benefited from the cultural and educational programs offered by the Federation, is asking the Pensacola community to help support the revitalization of this historical community building.
What can you do to help?
Share your photos and stories on the Ella Jordan Home Facebook page!
Share this blog post and the Facebook page with your friends and family!
Once funds are raised, share your time to help renovate the Ella Jordan Home!
The Community Saving the “Ella L. Jordan Home” is working with the Pensacola community and the Mother Wit Institute, Inc., to raise funds for the restoration of the Pensacola Federation of Colored Women’s Club Home. Support the revitalization of this historic community building in downtown Pensacola so it may continue to serve the community as it once did.
Thank you for taking the time to read about Mrs. Ella Jordan and her commitment to the African-American community, including her founding of the City of Pensacola’s Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., in 1929.

Jennifer Doyle isn't a candidate in the state election, but yesterday the media hovered around her, all but ignoring her hyper-energetic husband. It was Mrs Doyle's first outing in the election campaign, a hurried walk through the Prahran Market, a meet-and-greet with the hawkers of bananas, mangoes, beef and poultry.
Her absence from the campaign - in comparison with Terry Bracks, who is regularly by husband Steve's side - became a mini-issue this week, amid questions about whether a spouse's loyal support matters in modern politics.
Clearly, Mrs Doyle doesn't enjoy the role. Clutching a bunch of flowers her husband bought for her, she walked several paces behind him, explaining that the reason she has not been by her husband's side was that their son Andy was sitting for VCE exams and she was "doing the devoted mother thing at home".
Now, she said, "I can devote myself to my husband". "I'm happy to support him and be involved a little bit," she said, smiling tensely. "Not too much."
Mrs Bracks, on the other hand, has been hard to miss. She was with her husband at the Melbourne Cup, the Ballarat Show, at the ABC studio as he was being made up for the leaders' debate, and this week in Geelong promoting speed limits around schools.
Does it matter whether a politician's spouse goes on the campaign trail? The Liberals say no, although Mrs Doyle did provide a distraction yesterday from the Robert Dean debacle (she said she always planned to stroll through the Prahran Market - the timing was coincidental).
This week, when The Age asked Robert Doyle if he would be campaigning solo through the election, he snapped "Why?" More questioning produced a terse, "Jennifer will be with me sometimes and sometimes she won't". Does she dislike the hustings? "I'm not going to get into a discussion about my family."
Mrs Doyle is the daughter of racing identity Andrew Ramsden, the chairman of the Victoria Racing Club. Little else is known about her, but she told a local newspaper in 1994 that being a political wife was "like having a baby: everyone tries to tell you how wretched it is going to be, but they don't come close". Her job was to "look after the family and bring him back to earth with a big thud... Sometimes I just have to remind him he is at home now and we are all not really that interested."
Mrs Doyle is not alone. Former state Liberal MP Steve Elder says that when he entered politics, he and his wife Jan decided she would take a low profile so their young family would have a balanced life.
Opinion pollster Rod Cameron thinks Australians are relaxed about the role of political spouses. He points out that Tanya Costello - "apart from a reluctant involvement in a libel suit" - is rarely in the public eye. Still, says Mr Cameron, "the electorate loves to see a happy, united couple, with the wife making an appropriate contribution".
"It's just natural human curiosity," says Steve Murphy, former press secretary to Jeff Kennett. "Voters wonder, 'Are they one of us? I wonder what his wife's like?' "
Was Felicity Kennett an asset to Jeff? "Unequivocally and absolutely yes," says Mr Murphy. "We consciously wanted to use her for campaigns. We'd say, 'Wouldn't she be great for this?', and we'd draw up a program and send it out to her. It was up to her what she did."
Was Nancye Cain an asset to John? "Absolutely," says the former premier. "I think a premier's spouse who is prepared to participate is an enormous benefit to the office holder." Nancye travelled with him often and was an independent sounding board, "a human element".
Does the Labor Party see Mrs Bracks as an asset? "I bloody well hope so," she says. "I just do what I want to do, naturally." If the party is happy, she says, then so be it.
She is blunt, outgoing and more spontaneous than her husband. Just as Mrs Kennett, in Mr Murphy's words, "smoothed some of the rough edges" off her husband's image, Mrs Bracks' personality offsets her husband's monotone style. Asked for a quote at the opening night of Mamma Mia last year, the Premier said, "I'm just so glad the show is in Melbourne." His wife promised, "We'll be jigging in the aisles."
Eight weeks ago Mrs Bracks, a former electorate officer for two federal Labor MPs, quit her part-time job as a researcher at the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners to spend more time with her children and her husband. That means more time for the campaign.
"It's important for me to be part of it," she says. "It makes me feel like I am plugged in. I have a genuine interest in politics." But she draws the line at campaigning on her own: "People would get a bit pissed off if you were out there speaking on government policy. You are not the elected person."
Similarly, in 1997 Janette Howard said she always felt conscious of not having been elected. "I am most happy in the backblocks . . . seeing that the raffle tickets have been sold, checking everyone's at the right table."
Not all leaders' wives have shared Mrs Howard's traditional conception of the role. Enid Lyons and Pattie Menzies led active public lives on the speaking circuit, particularly in rural Australia. But, Mr Cameron says, Australians would not tolerate "pillow politics" - the Hillary Clinton model, in which a wife (or husband) gets openly involved in the spouse's job.
Women's entry into the workforce and public life has made the role of the political wife even harder. Today the perfect first lady, wrote Sarah Wildman in the American magazine The New Republic, must be "polished but not slick. Accessible but not intimate. Smart but not ambitious. Motivated, interested, an advocate - but never political. Beautiful but uncaring about her appearance. Happy. She must retain her own identity but negate it where it diverges from her husband's."
If the spouse is a man, in Australia, at least, he is off the hook. Former Labor premier Joan Kirner says she lost no points when her husband Ron ducked the spotlight: "He was determined not to be a Denis Thatcher or a handbag."
For Liberal MP Louise Asher, the boundary between public and private is even sharper. "My husband (National Party MP Ron Best) is in Bendigo running a campaign against my own party." But she says many couples today are in two-career relationships, so most voters accept that one spouse is not an extension of the other. "I think there's a measure of independence in partnerships now that didn't exist 20 or 30 years ago."
At Prahran Market, the stall owners tended to agree. Kevin Grocock, who has run Kevin's Farm Fresh Poultry for 30 years, shook Mr Doyle's hand and chatted about the election, but didn't notice Mrs Doyle. He "couldn't give a bugger" whether she campaigned. "He (Robert Doyle) is doing the job."

|Trick or tramp!
||[Oct. 24th, 2006|02:02 pm]
So if you're the kind of gal who buys a costume for Halloween instead of making one from scratch or piecing together things from Goodwill, it seems you have many choices, as long as you want a "sexy" costume. While we've all seen sexy cat, sexy devil, sexy witch, sexy vampire, sexy schoolgirl, it seem the "sexy" versions of
store-bought costumes are getting a little out of hand.
(All of these links are SFW unless noted)
Okay, so we all know about the librarian fantasy (link SFW, links on that page may not be), but this sexy librarian costume is neither particularly sexy nor particularly librarianish. Except for a necktie our SysAdmin owns and maybe a tapestry vest I saw on a paraprofessional, library employees do not typically wear clothing depicting book spines. (that's what the skirt pattern is supposed to be, if you can't tell).
So what other occupations need their costumes sexed up?
Well, if you asked das_prompt, you'd get the sexy nun costume, though I think part of the appeal of nun costumes is that they AREN'T overtly sexy. Guessing what she's wearing underneath is part of the fun. And lusting after nuns is nicely transgressive, so I understand this costume's appeal.
But what shall we make of the sexy referee? Unlike librarians, firemen, cops, cowboys, and nurses, referees are not typically on the "occupational lust" radar. Who is this costume meant to appeal to- football widows?
And then, in a costume that combines geekiness with a weird sort of pedaphilic vibe, there's the sexy Harry Potter/Gryffindor costume. It's cheap looking and ill-conceived- any "sexy" Hogwarts costumes should probably be in Slytherin colors, because cunning (and evil) is always sexier than chivalry. This costume creeps me out way more than the nun one does.
So what's left for the gal making her own costume? A quick google search shows that no vendors appear to be selling "sexy amish costumes" , "sexy ninja costumes" "sexy al-qaeda costumes", "sexy Juggalo costumes" or "sexy malawian orphan costumes", so you'll be the only one at the party in that outfit if you choose to go that way.
Happy Halloween, y'all.

I love finding good coffee, and I also love supporting independent cafés. Good thing Montréal has both, and some of my favourite cafés can be found downtown, in the Plateau, and the Mile End. Le Hip-Hop Café is a relatively new addition to the Mile End neighbourhood and I had been meaning to drop by and check out the place since it opened in February. Mind you, the establishment situated at the corner of avenue Parc and rue Villeneuve is not just a café but more of a business with a concept — one that happens to offer good coffee and eats but operates for the purpose of promoting hip hop culture in Montréal.
The café is a meeting spot for neighbourhood coffee lovers and students, but it isn’t one of those places where you can lounge about for hours pouring over your biology books. There is free wifi, caffeinated options and the choice of background music is awesome — Nas’ classics were playing when I recently dropped by. But the number of seats (around ten) are limited and purposefully so, as the café operates as a sort of community centre in a space decorated with graffiti murals and canvas paintings. While the counter and tables take up one side of the space, the other side includes a DJ booth and items for sale such as the graphic T-shirts on display and vinyls in the case you like what you’re listening to. Posters of hip hop events in the city are plastered on the counter and the spot is also a venue for city events.
The café’s location in the Mile End makes sense as the neighbourhood is well known for its large artist community. The Mile End is the anglophone counterpart to the Plateau, which also attracts the creative class though of the French tongue. For example, DJ Champion resides in the Plateau, a electronic and trip hop musician who is well known in his native Montréal. In the Mile End there are so many English musicians that call that neighbourhood home, most famously Arcade Fire, and other indie bands of similar genre. Montréal is not famous for its hip hop scene — where is our Québecois Drake (well, do we want one)? — but perhaps Le Hip-Hop Café is trying to change that as it’s undeniable that the love for hip hop music exists in the city. On its website, the café describes itself as a “cultural centre”; it’s really a café-slash-store-slash-event space. It might be hard to wrap your head around this concept, which is so new and no place of comparison comes to mind. But that’s what makes Le Hip-Hop Café so cool and progressive, and worth checking out.

Forget hearts and flowers, this Valentine’s Day I’d love a pound of mouth-watering medjools.
With their velvety texture and syrupy sweet caramel flavour, these jumbo-sized dates with the glossy, crinkly skin are the rock star of the date industry. And they’re soaring off the charts in popularity thanks to recent marketing efforts.
Growing up, the only dates I knew were crammed into a dark brown block my mom hacked away at to make her famous date squares.
When I moved to Toronto, I discovered open boxes of fresh medjools in grocery stores and fruit markets along with dainty tongs so I could choose a few at a time for a special treat.
In the past few years, U.S. growers have decided to go big or go home, giving us one and two-pound tubs of Natural Delights medjools from the Bard Valley, which straddles the desert border between California and Arizona.
In the beginning
Dates have been cultivated since 6,000 B.C. and grow in North Africa, the Arab world and Israel. Medjools, considered the king of dates, were once reserved for Moroccan royalty.
Shoots from Moroccan trees were brought to the U.S. in 1927. In 1944, their progeny were moved to Southern California to become one of 33 date varieties produced in the state.
Muslims consider these soft, meaty dates the perfect way to break their daily fast during the month of Ramadan.
Medjools grow in palm trees up to 15 metres high in stately groves called date gardens. American growers have fashioned a basket on a crane, a big version of the bucket our Hydro guys use, to scale the heights and tend their crop. As the fruit ripens, each bunch is covered with a sack to keep out the birds. Workers are hoisted back up the tree a few more times to harvest the mature dates by hand. Each palm produces more than 90 kilos of medjools a year.
If you’re trying to avoid refined sugar, crave a healthy snack or need some quick energy, make it a date! Keep a few in your desk drawer for emergencies.
Naturally sweet and nutritious, dates are also gluten-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free and Kosher. They’ve got fibre (3 grams per 2 medjools), iron and potassium if you need a break from bananas.
Select & Store
- U.S. medjools are harvested fresh between September and November and are available year-round.
- Look for medjools and other date varieties, including the smooth brown deglet noor, in the produce department beside bags of nuts or nestled among the bananas.
- Medjools should be plump, shiny and not too wrinkled. Ignore dates with broken or cracked skins.
- Keep them a few weeks on the counter or up to six months in the fridge. In the freezer they’ll keep up to a year.
- Refrigerate or freeze dates in a sealed bag or container away from foods with strong odours.
- Medjools are so simple to pit, there’s no need to buy them pitted.
- Five to six medjools yield ½ cup (125 mL) of chopped dates.
- For easier slicing and chopping, freeze dates for about an hour.
- Before processing dates in the food processor, rinse in cold water. They’ll chop better and cleanup will be easier.
- If your dates seem a little dry, place in warm water for a few minutes to plump them up.
- Slit medjools lengthwise, remove pit and fill with blue cheese, herbed cream cheese, peanut butter, coconut, ice cream . . . the sky’s the limit!
- For a five-star party appetizer, wrap cheese-stuffed dates with a strip of prosciutto or Serrano ham and bake at 400F (200C) for about 5 minutes.
- For more recipe ideas, sweet and savoury, visit natural-delights.ca
Medjool Date Pecan Chocolate Truffles
While I love medjools naked, this new recipe adapted from Natural Delights is truly scrumptious and the perfect V-Day gift. Don’t fuss with the dates once they’re coated with chocolate so they’ll harden to a smooth finish.
12 medjool dates, pitted
12 pecan halves
5 oz (150 g) dark chocolate (70%), chopped
2.5 oz (75 g) white chocolate, chopped
Using a small paring knife, cut a lengthwise slit in each medjool and remove pit. Gently open one date, stuff with a pecan half and squeeze closed. Repeat.
If you don’t have a double boiler, place chocolate in a small metal mixing bowl and place over a pot of simmering water. Don’t let water touch the bottom of the bowl.
Gently melt dark chocolate, stirring. Remove from heat as soon as it melts. Be sure to keep chocolate away from moisture, water or even steam.
Using a fork, dredge stuffed dates through the melted chocolate one at a time and place on a wire cooling rack to harden.
Pour melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or into a zip-lock bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Drizzle decoratively back and forth over each chocolate-dipped date. Cool completely before serving.
Makes 12 truffles.

Odd Orlean$, or simply just Orlean$, brings us into his inner conscience on the duality of the lifestyle that accompanies an up-and-coming rapper. Posted to his Soundcloud, the song has already racked up thousands of views.
The song is a single for his album which is in the works, and judging by this, it will be one hell of a release!
VMG had a moment with the Houston’s native to see what’s good on the new single, and more…
1) What keeps you motivate when it comes to your music?
My passion for the art first and foremost. I never really felt like I fit in anywhere other than hiphop, and at the end of the day, I just want to provide for my close ones. We’ve had to hustle and fight every inch of the road, but I know it will pay off.
2) When you think of “Vintage Media Group”, what comes to mind?
I think an unbiased forum for artistry when I think of Vintage Media Group. Much love.
3) Being that you are from Houston, what is the state of Hip-Hop there? How would you titled your style of music?
Houston is such a huge melting pot of styles! You have people like Maxxo dropping straight bangers, and people like Jon Black keeping that soul, as well as my own crew, Fameline standing right in between, it’s awesome. Houston has the best scene right now for sure.
4) With your most recent music single “Problems” is DOPE, I Really Like It… can you give us some details on how you came up with the song?
We wanted to make a song about what we’re currently going through. It took us a few hours one late, late night, but I’d say it worked out pretty well.
5) Where can your fans & supporters find you online? Via Twitter, Facebook, etc.?
6) Who are some of your influences?
2Pac, KRS-ONE, Nas, Joey Bada$$, Eminem, UGK, and many more have all really inspired me.
7) Any Last Remarks?
Suppor the movement! Myself and Fameline have so much good music coming, don’t miss out on it!

July 2nd @ The Humanities Lab, Silverstone building, Sussex University, Falmer, 9.30 – 5.00pm.
July 3rd @ Lighthouse, 28 Kensington street, Brighton, 9.30 – 5.00pm.
The Sussex University Creative and Critical Practice Research Group
(CCPRG) presents a two-day event exploring the relationship between creative
practice and research, inside and outside the academy. The event will
interrogate the manner in which experimental practice/critique/research
partnerships address impact as an ‘always already’ present aspect of
creative and social practice. The two days will include papers,
performances, films and workshops from across a broad range of disciplines,
including music, law, sociology, maths, performance art, and more.
SCHEDULE / THURSDAY 2ND JULY
Registration, coffee, etc.
Keynote – Dr. David Prior:
Associative professor at Falmouth university and partner in ‘Liminal’ will discuss his practise and show a film.
Dr. Sally-Jane Norman, Professor of Performance Technologies and co-director of the Sussex Humanities Lab, Sussex university.
Does it matter who is in the room? Thoughts/sounds on listening and the in-between…
A local outdoor artist and graduate of the ‘Inclusive Arts Practise’ MA at Brighton, will talk about her work and its impact.
Break for lunch (not provided) & concurrent installation/performance.
A one-to-one interactive sound performance. It explores the interpersonal relationship between a performer and a member of the public; a sonic relationship established and mediated by interactive technology. This sonic experiment aims to playfully blur the borders between the roles of performer and audience; when single members of the audience find themselves in a situation that requires their own contribution for the development of the performance.
The social impact of post-tonal music.
A selection of video work curated by the Sussex University Critical and Creative Practise Research Group.

At certain moments in life, it may have appeared as if time stood still; imprinted with memories that felt permanently etched. Affixed.
While this feeling is comforting for happy milestones, it is an entirely different reality when painful memories – at times, unbearably so – become appendant. One such engraving is the anniversary (yarzheit) date of a loved one’s earthly passing; hovering, forever held in place. Frozen.
I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten….
Still yet, and despite all the painfully held sentiments, know that honoring a loved one is enhanced by celebrating their life well lived, rather than by remaining lost in grief and trapped in space and time.
In fact, over the past few years, a certain nearest and dearest (in his inimitably quiet and self-effacing way, and without even realizing it) can be credited with my evolution of thinking; my “coming to terms.” Many thanks for that, as well as for just being you….oh so special. Like father, like son.
And for what it’s worth, if there is one overriding piece of advice from my personal life journey (based upon lessons learned while navigating through the emotional minefields of profound loss), it is that there is hope for a better tomorrow, as cliché as it may sound.
More specifically, by recognizing that the grieving process for a much beloved spouse (or another) cannot be tied to an imposed timetable; that one’s children (even if already adult) experience grief differently than their surviving parent; and, when ready, a new partner should never be seen as a replacement for a late spouse who was entirely unique, only then can true healing begin to take shape. Step-by-step. All in all, moving forward is best accompanied by living life in a way which would make one’s dearly departed proud.
In my case, each professional endeavor must be conducted with the utmost integrity, and coupled with an unwavering pursuit of justice. Resolute and unintimidated. Equally important, to strive to embrace a sense of joyousness, that which is most enhanced with love. Indeed, the ethical, righteous, loving and joyful way in which my beloved, Frank, z”l, lived his life couldn’t help but be admired. Emulated.
Yes, he would want me to continue to shine. That is, to pursue the type of justice (“Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof…Justice, justice, shall you pursue”…צדק צדק תרדוף – Shoftim, Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9) which made him so proud when we were walking hand in hand. Similarly, he would want me to smile, to rejoice, and, once again, to entrust my heart.
Without a doubt, he is watching over those he considered his treasures. But above all else, Frank, z”l, will forever remain our family’s patriarch. This is so, not only for those closest to him, but for little ones who “know” him through priceless pictures and countless stories. They too feel – and acutely miss – his loving presence. The kiddies affectionately call him “Saba Frank”, often babbling on about him as if he hears them. Precious. Heart-stopping. He is certainly beaming (often imagining, in my mind’s eye, his trademark warm smile and twinkling eyes) down and reveling in the many life-affirming steps taken by his offspring since his untimely passing.
Tellingly, in one way or another, he is dearly missed. As a consummate romantic, the daily love and tenderness he displayed so freely as a husband will never be forgotten. Its effects run soul deep. At the same time, he was an unfailingly devoted father. A true role model and inspiration.
Tangibly speaking, as inferred, it was by shifting the focus off of the trauma of losing him so suddenly – and back onto the many cherished memories we shared as a couple – that the space and strength needed to create new moments in time evolved.
So as my long journey of grief comes full circle, it passes into one of healing. In honor of Frank, z”l – and this crossroad – specially scripted balloons await pick up; one for each year since G-d called him to heaven. They will ascend from Mount Zion in Jerusalem, the core and soul of Israel which captivated us to no end. Traveling upward – by the sheer act of releasing my hands – I have every confidence they will soar from my heart to his.
And it is in recognition of an invaluable gift, finally, that of peace of mind, first and foremost, I thank G-d. But it would be remiss of me not to include the few held especially close; those who have enabled me – in seen and unseen ways, and through very different roles they have in my life – to reach this pivotal juncture. You know who you are. With eternal gratitude and heartfelt love. Inestimably, Frank, z”l (who was more than one in a million), is surely thankful for all your devotion; that which helped to bring me from there to here.
Alas, it is with deep appreciation that I am standing strong, and looking forward to the next chapter with gratitude and an inner sense of calm. Yes, no doubt, he would want the love of his life to feel content and to live life to its fullest, as I would wish for him.
My beloved, Frank, z”l, rest in peace. Now and forever. You will never be forgotten, regardless of the passage of time and wherever life takes me.

Tourism became even even larger small business internationally in the latter half from the 20th century as air travel was progressively deregulated and decoupled from “flag carriers” (national Airways).

Printing has grown from a simple yet time consuming task, into an important and popular industry. This is mainly due to the development of various types of printing technologies. However, the variety of technologies has also led to some debate regarding label printing. Some printing companies are in favor or digital printing, while others feel that flexographic (flexo) printing is ideal.
As a customer, you will want to know about the particular printing technology used to create your labels. To shed some light on this issue, we decided to pit these two technologies against each other. Let’s see which technology comes out on top when it’s Flexo vs. Digital Printing.
This type of printing technology utilizes a flexible relief plate to carry a raised image. The plate is usually made out of types of soft plastic, rubber, or polymers that are UV sensitive. As the plates are flexible, they can be wrapped around cylinders, which are coated with different types of ink colors. When the image comes in contact with the ink, it allows for image designs to be printed on the product.
The main advantages of flexo printing include:
- It allows for the creation of beautiful color images with sharp and precise details.
- The images produced are of immense printing quality.
- Images can be produced in rich, multiple colors.
- It is a fast printing process, and can be using for bulk printing purposes.
- Flexo is a cost-effective printing technology.
Flexographic printers also have certain disadvantages:
- Each color requires one plate. The costs of single plates is very high.
- The images need to be distorted before cylinder wrapping. The image distortion process is also expensive.
- Flexo printing requires the use of traps and bleeds for color overlapping. However, the overlap is not precise, and there can be minor defects in the images.
Digital printers use toner to print images onto paper, or other substrates. The toner only creates a thin layer on the substrate surface. The image is then adhered to the substrate using heat.
The benefits of digital printing include:
- Image printing can be completed within short periods.
- Images are printed as one single photo. Hence, excess expenses on plates, and color overlapping are eliminated.
- The cost of printing is low compared to flexography.
- Digital printing is flexible, as it allows for modification of images, as well as printing multiple copies of one image.
The disadvantages of digital printing are:
- Bulk image printing is quite costly.
- Digital printed labels require additional lamination for use in outdoor environments.
- The printer cannot duplicate exact color, hence, color options in terms of printing are limited.
- Additional processes like lamination cannot be added to the printing line, and need to be performed separately. This can result in more time and higher expenses.
- Materials that are heat sensitive cannot be used in digital printing processes.
Every company will have different label printing requirements and challenges. Digital printing is faster and more cost-effective than flexography. Flexography provides images with rich colors and amazing detail, but is an expensive and time consuming task. Hence, customers can look at digital printing for its speed and versatility. However, they should contact reputed label manufacturers to find the best technology for their label making requirement.

Fiction. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the German by Peter Smith. A Beckettian character, who may or may not be trapped in a room with four baskets full of infants, focuses obsessively on a single sentence—"I fuck babies." This virtuoso text by Swiss experimental writer Urs Allemann won the prestigious Ingeborg Bachmann Preis des Landes Kärnten in 1991 and caused one of the biggest literary scandals in the post-1945 German-speaking world. Translated now for the first time in a new bilingual edition with an introduction by translator Peter Smith and an afterword by Vanessa Place, BABYFUCKER belongs in the canon of twentieth-century provocations that includes Bataille's The Story of the Eye, Delany's Hogg, and Cooper's Frisk. For BABYFUCKER is, as Dennis Cooper says: "a stunning, exquisite, perfect, and difficult little benchmark of a novel that makes literature that predates it seem deprived."

Phillip Island, popular venue for the Australian MotoGP race, will be kicked off the calendar unless organisers agree to stage the race six months earlier than its normal October slot in 2012.
Dorna and top MotoGP stars like Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo wanted the race moved to be the opening round next season amid fears that cold and wet conditions at the traditional October date make it too dangerous.
A revised 2011 calendar was drafted in Estoril back in late October that would have seen Phillip Island take the place of Qatar on March 20, while the night race and the Jerez and Estoril dates would also have been reshuffled.
But the short notice saw Phillip Island organisers inform Dorna that the date could not be changed for 2011.
The Grand Prix Corporation also organise the Formula One race in Melbourne, which would take place just seven days later on March 27.
Dorna has accepted the 2011 date change is not feasible and the Australian round will go ahead as originally scheduled on October 16.
What is in no doubt is that if Phillip Island doesn’t agree a March slot for 2012, it won’t be granted FIM homologation.
Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta told MCN: “It was clear that to move for next year was very complicated. We have spoken to them and for next year the calendar will be as the provisional one already printed.
"We understand because of the short notice but for 2012 it will be at the beginning of the season. It must be at the beginning of the year because I think it is too risky later in the season.
"For 2012 it will be compulsory and the FIM will not homologate the circuit unless the race is at the beginning of the year. There can be no excuses in 2012.”
It is not clear whether the moving of the MotoGP race will have any bearing on the staging of the World Superbike round. It has a traditional February slot, meaning conditions are usually much better at the end of the Australian summer.
Next year's WSB race takes place on February 27.

Baltisaksa põllumeesteseltside võrgustiku kujunemisest
Development of a Network of
Baltic German Agricultural Societies
The first agricultural society in the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire was the Livonian Public Welfare and Economic Society (LS) established in 1792 in Riga (approved by the Empress in 1794 and started operating in 1796). Having been transferred from Riga to Tartu in 1813, the society operated here until 1939. In accordance with diversifying economic activities as well as the agrotechnical innovation of agriculture that started in the 1820s, the LS endeavoured to extend the scope of its field of activities. On the one hand, it purported
to coordinate the activities of the analogous societies in the
three Baltic provinces, or, indeed, to be their umbrella organisation.
On the other hand, it was attempted to create branch societies with an unlimited membership, and, thereafter, sub-institutions for performing specific tasks. Thus, a merino sheep purchase boom facilitated the establishment of the Livonian Sheep Breeders’ Association in 1825, which cooperated with a similar association in Estonia.
In the late 1830s the first pan-governorate agricultural societies were established also in the neighbouring provinces. On 31st October 1839 the Emperor approved the articles of association of three agricultural societies (Courland, Kuldīga, and Estonia). Since the administration hindered the establishment of pan-governorate affiliate societies until
the last decades of the 19th century, the Courland Economic Society and Estonian Agricultural Society (Estländische Landwirtschaftliche Gesellschaft) subsequently needed to perform the functions of an umbrella organisation in their provinces, similarly to the Society in Livonia. Differently from the LS which included only a limited number
of members, the societies in Courland and all the three provinces were open, i.e., accepted an unlimited number of members. They accepted people interested in the subject from all classes and admitted them by voting during general assemblies.
Upon the initiative of LS several agricultural societies were created in Livonia in the early 1840s; they were established as branches or affiliates of the Society. The Livonian Society of Agriculture and Promotion of Trade (LSAPT, Livländischer Verein zur Beförderung der Landwirtschaft und des Gewerbfleisses), the articles of association of
which were approved in 1844, was the most important affiliate of LS and its direct extension. The most extensive undertakings of LSAPT were the organisation of annual exhibitions in Tartu as of 1876, and the publication of the weekly newspaper Baltische Wochenschrift für Landwirtschaft, Gewerbefleiss und Handel (1863–1915) intended for the readership of the three Baltic governorates in cooperation with the Society. The Agricultural Societies of Pärnu–Viljandi and Kuressaare were approved only as late as 1845. Since the sphere of activity of LSAPT first and foremost enveloped the vicinity of Tartu and Northern Livonia in terms of its location and membership, the estate owners in the Latvian section of Livonia established their own society in early 1848. At first it bore the name of the Agricultural Society of Võnnu–Volmari–Valka; as of 1866, however, it was changed to the Southern
Livonian Public Welfare and Agricultural Society and the hub of its activities transferred to Riga. The last of the LS County affiliates to be established in 1877 was the Agricultural Society of Võru.
In the last quarter of the 19th century and the early 20th century a number of LS’s affiliates were established as pan-governorate specialty societies (some also as societies functioning in all the Baltic governorates): Baltic Foresters’ Society (Verein baltischer Forstwirte) in 1867; Baltic Cattle Breeders’ Society (Verband Baltischer Rindviehzüchter) in 1885—this was divided into the Baltic Angler Breeders’ Society (Verband baltischer Anglerviehzüchter) in 1904/2
and the Livonian Dutch Friesian Cattle Breeders’ Society (Verband livländischer Holländer-Friesenviehzüchter) in 1904; Livonian Society for the Promotion of Horse Breeding (Verein zur Förderung der livländischen Pferdezucht) 1897; Livonian Society for the Promotion of Women’s Works (Livländischer Verein zur Förderung der Frauenarbeit) in 1897; Livonian Seed Producers’ Society in 1900; Livonian Gardening Society in 1901; Baltic Swamp Land Improvement Society (Baltischer Moorverein) in 1908; Baltic Association of Cold-Blooded Horse Breeders (Baltischer Verein von Züchter kaltblütiger Pferde) in 1912. Agricultural Societies were also established in parishes; in the Latvian section of Livonia: Ruhja in 1877; Salatsi in 1884; Pociemsi in 1888; Smiltene–Palsmane–Aumeisteri–Gaujiena in 1884; Vendzava in 1897 and Limbaži-Suntaži-Allaži in1904; in the Estonian section, the Agricultural Societies of Vändra in 1895, Kodavere in 1896, Räpina in 1898; and Laiuse in 1900; while Kanepi–Antsla Agricultural Society was established in 1891. The membership of the former consisted nearly exclusively of Baltic German estate
owners and scientists in the specialised field concerned; while the latter, LS’s affiliates in the parishes were so-called mixed societies, which also included Estonian or Latvian farmers besides the estate owners and officials, who occupied the dominant positions. Most of the Estonian and Latvian farmers’ societies were independent from the start, while the leadership of the aforementioned mixed societies transferred to small farmers at the beginning of the 20th century.
As at 1915 the status of Society affiliates had been granted to 26 societies on the basis of the articles of association; six of those housed their headquarters in the facilities of the Society in Tartu, Lossi 1-3. Compared to the active and close-knit network of societies in Livonia the establishment of societies was slower in the governorate of Estonia; there were also considerably fewer societies—both those of Baltic German great landowners as well as of Estonian small farmers.
In the first thirty years of the 19th century the large scale farmers were united only by the Estonian Agricultural Society. The most fundamental changes in reorganising the Estonian agriculture took place in the 1860s and 1870s, while the county affiliates of Estonian Agricultural Society in Virumaa (1869) and Läänemaa (1872) were also founded then. The specialty societies that functioned with a fluctuating degree of activity were a hunting society (Estländische Wildschutzverein) and gardening society.
After the establishment of the Courland Economic Society (CES) and the Kuldiga AS (1839), the following 4 ASs were founded considerably later—in Tukums in 1867, Dobele in 1871, Jaunjelgava in 1877, Talsi 1878. Since a sufficient number of members there were already members of the CES, the representatives of the aforementioned local societies declared CES the central society and themselves as branch societies. The most close-knit, varied and active network of Baltic German agricultural societies developed owing to
the LS specifically in Livonia.
