Cali started performing music at the relatively late age of 27. A painter with four years of study at the Emily Carr University of Art & Design in Vancouver behind her, Cali cut her musical teeth in Flutter, an independent ‘shoegaze’ rock band sonically far removed from her current folkie persona. After drifting in and out of creating music as life led her this way and that for over a decade, Cali eventually teamed up with Nanaimo singer-songwriter Paul Bezooyen, after meeting at a local Songwriters Circle. The pair hit it off creatively and have developed a great mutual respect for each other’s talents. The relationship has now borne fruit with 2 full-length albums.
Described by Paul as a “consummate artistic personality,” Cali explores universal human emotions and themes in her songs, pinning her thoughtful lyrics to memorable melodies that perfectly suit the tone of each piece. As a prolific songwriter, the world can expect plenty more music as good as Honey Whistle and Rise from Cali Massey.
A beautifully expressive voice, delicate guitar playing, and an uncanny ability to approach lyric writing from unique angles, all blend to exquisite effect on Cali Massey’s debut album, Honey Whistle. Ranging in mood from the yearning ache of "Your Hands" to the jaunty melodies of "The Kids" and country swing of "Hearts Beating Faster", this laid-back collection is a delightful addition to the inventory of contemporary Canadian folk music.
This album is the culmination of a couple of years of solid song writing by Cali Massey. Collaborating with co-producer Paul Bezooyen the chord structures and arrangements were carefully crafted with a very specific vision. " We wanted each song to stand out and be unique, but achieve an overall cohesiveness." says Bezooyen. Various musical styles were employed, ranging from the rumba style rhythms of "Don't Open your Eyes" to the more ethereal sound of the title track "Rise". Overall, if you enjoy artists like Madeleine Peyroux, Norah Jones or Allison Krauss, you'll love this album.
To achieve a sound that brought continuity to the project. Massey and Bezooyen brought together a group of accomplished musicians: Joe Spinelli on Stand-up & Fretless Bass, Dave Barta on Accordion and Piano and Glen Foster on Dobro, Electric guitars and Mandolin. Massey and Bezooyen play acoustic 6 string guitars. Together they crafted the arrangements throughout the summer of 2015 and then recorded much of the album "Live" in September of 2015 at The Hermit's Music studio. Massey then developed and recorded many of the harmony tracks and brought in fellow singer - songwriter Mary Faherty and Glen Foster to assist with recording additional harmonies. Dave Kilbank and Massey did a masterful job of mixing, resulting in a sound that accentuates the expressive and emotive vocal delivery by Massey supported by elegant and understated musical accompaniment.
In an age when so much music is digitally created, Massey and Bezooyen are proud of this album; a work that is created by human hands on real instruments... from the heart.

The announcement that you, the creatives, have been oh-so patiently waiting for is finally here. And, I get the honor to amp up the anticipation for the 2017 Austin Design Week!
If this gif of Jonah Hill doesn’t make you totally excited, I don’t think anything will.
Ok, moving along… This year’s ADW occurs November 6-10th. This design-packed week consists of 60 different events to get your creative juices flowing, including workshops, studio tours, evening speaker series, and other special events, such as a walking tour and roundtable discussions.
You'll be able to see the whole schedule here. Here are a few highlights we're particularly excited about.
Metalwork Austin is a custom metal fabrication shop that focuses their metalwork on architecture, metal art, and furniture. During this event, you will have the opportunity to tour their warehouse and explore the plasma cutting and welding. And yes, there will be snacks -- but even better, at the end of the tour, they will be giving away a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cut item creating during your tour.
Pro Mama, a company dedicated to connecting mothers to job opportunities, is hosting a workshop to connect parents - and designers, of course - in an interactive discussion over how a career in design can compliment, rather than deter, one’s parenting and child care skills.
In this workshop, catch Jannis Jegenwald, design strategist at Atlassian, examine the prominent impact that software design and artificial intelligence has on the design world. What I think is particularly cool about this event, is that the question: "are human designers better than machines?" is pondered.
This collaboration between Dell Medical School and the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas — an event specific to a design approach in the academic health environment. Attendees will obtain further insight into Health System Design, as they get to tour the Design Institute located in the new building in the Dell Medical School.
Follow the full schedule of events for Austin Design Week here.
We'll be highlighting more events from Austin Design Week in the coming weeks.

The most significant thing a school can do when a child is first diagnosed with cancer is to work out a strategy for communicating with the parents, the ill child, school-aged siblings and the faculty. While the family makes the final decision about how much contact the child will have with school, we encourage the school to designate a point person who will coordinate communication between the school and the family. This person can be the principal, the child’s main teacher if the child is young or a favorite teacher or counselor if the child is in middle school or high school.
In general, we encourage broad and general support for the child and family. Because parents are often in shock when their child is diagnosed, it can be helpful for one person from the school to express the school’s concern for all members of the family. This person can express their desire to stay in touch and support the ill child and any siblings or other close child relatives in the district. Parents are often so overwhelmed with the amount of information and the number of crucial decisions that they have to make that they may not have thought about the implications the diagnosis and treatment will have for school.
At first, parents may not want to give out much information, especially if they are not clear about the details of their child’s diagnosis or treatment. However, many families find that once treatment is started and they have become more comfortable with words like “cancer,” they welcome the opportunity to share information and have contact with teachers and their child’s classmates. School represents hope for the future for parents and children. Sharing information also helps to minimize rumors.
It is important to be aware that some staff members may have previous experience with cancer, either as a patient themselves or as a friend or relative of a cancer patient. The diagnosis of cancer in a student can generate strong feelings that can be expressed in both positive and negative ways. It is helpful to remind staff members that more than 80% of children with cancer survive long term; therefore, the school should focus on supporting the child’s engagement socially and academically with the intention that he or she will progress normally.
Some families may prefer to not share any information whatsoever, which can be challenging for school personnel. Nevertheless, respecting the family’s confidentiality is essential and a simple message to that effect, without apology, is all that needs to be provided to anyone who inquires.
If the family is willing to share information, the family and the school’s primary contact person should decide what is shared and to what audiences. We recommend, however, that at least the child’s and sibling’s teachers, coaches and counselors be informed so that they have accurate information rather than having to rely on guessing and rumors.
How to refer to the child’s illness — “cancer,” “tumor,” “leukemia,” “osteogenic sarcoma” or other appropriate terms. The term selected may vary depending on the age of the students.
How to respond to teachers and to classmates or their parents if they would like to visit in the hospital or at home.

Vigilio Genetti, born 1852 in Castelfondo, Austria.
Died 1932 in Collinsville, IL.
The Illinois Genetti Clan has proven to be very inquisitive and helpful concerning our shared ancestors. A few weeks ago I received an email from Brian Genetti with info about his family line. It turns out Brian is also a descendant of Vigilio Genetti who settled in Collinsville, Illinois around 1890. Why I say “also” is that I have had three other descendants of Vigilio contact me during the past year (Tom, Gary and Andrew). Each has contributed a bit more of our ancestral puzzle and allowed me to research further into their branch of the family tree. As a result of Brian’s info, I was able to add ten more descendants to our online tree and continue to extend Vigilio’s legacy in America. Brian says he also has photos of Vigilio Genetti tucked away somewhere. When he finds them we’ll add those pics to our photo archive page too.
– Brian is 1st cousin, twice removed from Tom.
– Brian is 1st cousin, once removed from Gary.
– Brian is a 3rd cousin of Andrew.
And Brian is my 5th cousin, once removed AND my 8th cousin once removed! Yes, my family twig is related to Brian twice!
Do you have descendants you would like included on our family tree? I believe we have only about a third of our ancestors documented so far. Feel free to email me with your information. If I can find documentation on the ancestor, I will add he/she to the Genetti Family online tree.
Many thanks to the Illinois Genetti Family for their participation.

In Support of Menphys and Sound Cafe.
As a token of thanks for permitting limited use of our car park, the owners of the restaurant are offering us a free fundraising evening at the Chef & Spice Restaurant.
The ticket price is £10 per person, which does not include the price of drinks. The restaurant is an ‘all you can eat’ buffet of predominantly Indian food, although some non-Indian options are also available.
100 Tickets are now available – please help us to sell them all!
All the proceeds of the ticket sales and raffle will go to our two parish charities – Sound Cafe and Menphys - which we are supporting throughout 2019.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Gerald Pearce who died recently. His funeral reception will take place on Tuesday 23 April at 6.00pm and the funeral Mass in Latin will be at 11.00am on Wednesday 24 April. May he rest in peace.
And for Deacon John Parker who died this week. He was the Deacon at St Edward’s Aylestone for many years. May he rest in peace.
The second collection on Good Friday will be for the Holy Places of Palestine.
All money placed in the Easter Sunday Collection go to the Parish Fund.
The Church’s Law re-affirms that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are to be observed as days of fast and abstinence. Fasting means that the amount of food we eat is considerably reduced. Abstinence means that we give up a particular kind of food or drink or form of amusement. Those over eighteen are bound by the law of fasting until the beginning of their sixtieth year, while all over fourteen are bound by the law of abstinence. Priests and parents are urged to foster the spirit and practice of penance among those too young to be the subjects of either law.
This takes place on Wednesday 17 April at 11.30am at St Barnabas Cathedral Nottingham. Each year at this Mass priests of the diocese renew the promises they made at their Ordination. The Bishop blesses the Holy Oils which are used in celebration of the Sacraments throughout the year.
The parish car park is available for you to use, along with the car park behind the HSBC bank on weekends, please park thoughtfully to allow as many people to use those facilities as possible. There is no limit for street parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. Please do not obstruct the footpaths or park on the grass areas around the church, as this is the only garden area we have.

Protecting the IT resources of a company against security threats is of vital importance. The Operating System Security is an ideal course for anyone charged with securing Operating systems. From securing a desktop, to the high availability options available on the platform, to directory services options, this course is going to be a swift overview of Windows 2008, Linux and Sun Solaris.
The Windows Security course includes everything important you need to know to secure your systems running Microsoft Windows. This training will show you how each Windows security technology works, how to access vulnerabilities and secure your information. You will master every aspect of Windows & Active Directory security and learn how to leverage the vast amount of security functionality. We will provide you with all of the Windows security techniques and strategies you would need in order to solve real problems by identifying risks inherent in Microsoft's design.
Throughout this course we will focus on reviewing existing exploits and the basic concepts and challenges of securing the Operating Systems. We then move on to the standard security measures that should always be employed, and the usability implications of each.
If you're a newcomer to the field of information security but a long time user of these Operating Systems or a newcomer to these Operating Systems but a long time information security expert, this is the course for you. You will develop skills that will help you to bridge the gap between the Operating Systems administrators and the security administrators in most organizations; and you will learn the ins and outs of keeping your data private.

One of the things we’ve noticed at our vein treatment center in New Jersey is that patients don’t necessarily follow the advice you give them. Such patients are also notoriously bad at listening when we explain to them what will happen to them if they ignore our advice. As a classic example, one of the most common symptoms reported by patients is chronically swollen legs and ankles. Often, when they first come to see us, they have already Googled this condition, and they want to be assured that the swelling isn’t due to kidney failure or hypertensive heart disease.
Naturally at our noted vein treatment center in New Jersey, we perform a number of diagnostic tests, and most of the time we determine that the swelling is due to vein disease. We explain this, and recommend what we believe is the best possible treatment, which can range (depending on the individual) from conservative treatment to more permanent treatments such as sclerotherapy or endovenous laser therapy (EVLT). We also warn them – in no uncertain terms – what will happen if they don’t get treated. But then a very strange thing happens – some patients ignore what we’ve told them completely, and don’t show up for treatment. This article is for them, to let them know one more time what is in store for them.
In most cases, the swelling is caused by a condition called chronic venous insufficiency, or CVI. CVI happens when the tiny valves that control blood flow through your veins become damaged and “leaky” and allow blood to flow “backwards” back into your veins. CVI is the most common cause of varicose veins, but it is also the most common cause of swelling in the legs and ankles because it allows fluids to collect in your lower extremities.
First, you must understand that if your veins have been sufficiently damaged by CVI to cause swelling, the condition is NOT going to “get better on its own.” It’s going to get worse. So here is what you can expect over the next few years.
First, if you already have varicose veins, they’re going to get worse; if you don’t have them already, you probably will. In addition, poor circulation caused by CVI will cause changes in the color and texture of your legs. Your skin will start to turn brown in color and will become more brittle and fragile, and thus more susceptible to injury. Minor scrapes will turn into open sores that will not respond to topical treatment and will refuse to heal. And that’s just what’s happening on the surface. Inside your body, CVI will impair your immune system and increase your likelihood of developing more serious conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This is where you’re headed if you don’t seek treatment for your swollen legs and ankles.
The damage caused by CVI can’t be “repaired” because once the venous valves have been damaged, they can’t be fixed. But the diseased veins can be treated using minimally-invasive techniques so painless that they require only local anesthesia and can be completed in about an hour in the comfort of our offices. Once the damaged veins have been closed by these procedures, the swelling and other symptoms will go away as well.
To find out more about how modern vein care treatment can eliminate the swelling in your legs and ankles and return you to a state of normal health, give a top vein treatment center in New Jersey a call at 201-693-4847 or go online, and allow the Bergen Coungy vein experts at Chuback Medical Group to improve your health and eliminate your symptoms.

WASHINGTON — In the days immediately after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, members of President Bush’s war cabinet declared that it would be impossible to deter the most fervent extremists from carrying out even more deadly terrorist missions with biological, chemical or nuclear weapons.
Since then, however, administration, military and intelligence officials assigned to counterterrorism have begun to change their view. After piecing together a more nuanced portrait of terrorist organizations, they say there is reason to believe that a combination of efforts could in fact establish something akin to the posture of deterrence, the strategy that helped protect the United States from a Soviet nuclear attack during the cold war.
Interviews with more than two dozen senior officials involved in the effort provided the outlines of previously unreported missions to mute Al Qaeda’s message, turn the jihadi movement’s own weaknesses against it and illuminate Al Qaeda’s errors whenever possible.
A primary focus has become cyberspace, which is the global safe haven of terrorist networks. To counter efforts by terrorists to plot attacks, raise money and recruit new members on the Internet, the government has mounted a secret campaign to plant bogus e-mail messages and Web site postings, with the intent to sow confusion, dissent and distrust among militant organizations, officials confirm.
At the same time, American diplomats are quietly working behind the scenes with Middle Eastern partners to amplify the speeches and writings of prominent Islamic clerics who are renouncing terrorist violence.
At the local level, the authorities are experimenting with new ways to keep potential terrorists off guard.
In New York City, as many as 100 police officers in squad cars from every precinct converge twice daily at randomly selected times and at randomly selected sites, like Times Square or the financial district, to rehearse their response to a terrorist attack. City police officials say the operations are believed to be a crucial tactic to keep extremists guessing as to when and where a large police presence may materialize at any hour. “What we’ve developed since 9/11, in six or seven years, is a better understanding of the support that is necessary for terrorists, the network which provides that support, whether it’s financial or material or expertise,” said Michael E. Leiter, acting director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
In some ways, government officials acknowledge, the effort represents a second-best solution. Their preferred way to combat terrorism remains to capture or kill extremists, and the new emphasis on deterrence in some ways amounts to attaching a new label to old tools.
The emerging belief that terrorists may be subject to a new form of deterrence is reflected in two of the nation’s central strategy documents.
For obvious reasons, it is harder to deter terrorists than it was to deter a Soviet attack.
Terrorists hold no obvious targets for American retaliation as Soviet cities, factories, military bases and silos were under the cold-war deterrence doctrine. And it is far harder to pinpoint the location of a terrorist group’s leaders than it was to identify the Kremlin offices of the Politburo bosses, making it all but impossible to deter attacks by credibly threatening a retaliatory attack.
But over the six and a half years since the Sept. 11 attacks, many terrorist leaders, including Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, have successfully evaded capture, and American officials say they now recognize that threats to kill terrorist leaders may never be enough to keep America safe.
So American officials have spent the last several years trying to identify other types of “territory” that extremists hold dear, and they say they believe that one important aspect may be the terrorists’ reputation and credibility with Muslims.
Under this theory, if the seeds of doubt can be planted in the mind of Al Qaeda’s strategic leadership that an attack would be viewed as a shameful murder of innocents — or, even more effectively, that it would be an embarrassing failure — then the order may not be given, according to this new analysis.
Senior officials acknowledge that it is difficult to prove what role these new tactics and strategies have played in thwarting plots or deterring Al Qaeda from attacking. Senior officials say there have been several successes using the new approaches, but many involve highly classified technical programs, including the cyberoperations, that they declined to detail.
They did point to some older and now publicized examples that suggest that their efforts are moving in the right direction.
George J. Tenet, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, wrote in his autobiography that the authorities were concerned that Qaeda operatives had made plans in 2003 to attack the New York City subway using cyanide devices.
Mr. Zawahri reportedly called off the plot because he feared that it “was not sufficiently inspiring to serve Al Qaeda’s ambitions,” and would be viewed as a pale, even humiliating, follow-up to the 9/11 attacks.
And in 2002, Iyman Faris, a naturalized American citizen from Kashmir, began casing the Brooklyn Bridge to plan an attack and communicated with Qaeda leaders in Pakistan via coded messages about using a blowtorch to sever the suspension cables.
But by early 2003, Mr. Faris sent a message to his confederates saying that “the weather is too hot.” American officials said that meant Mr. Faris feared that the plot was unlikely to succeed — apparently because of increased security.
Terrorists hold little or no terrain, except on the Web. “Al Qaeda and other terrorists’ center of gravity lies in the information domain, and it is there that we must engage it,” said Dell L. Dailey, the State Department’s counterterrorism chief.
Some of the government’s most secretive counterterrorism efforts involve disrupting terrorists’ cyberoperations. In Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, specially trained teams have recovered computer hard drives used by terrorists and are turning the terrorists’ tools against them.
“If you can learn something about whatever is on those hard drives, whatever that information might be, you could instill doubt on their part by just countermessaging whatever it is they said they wanted to do or planned to do,” said Brig. Gen. Mark O. Schissler, director of cyberoperations for the Air Force and a former deputy director of the antiterrorism office for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“You can also post messages to the opposite of that,” he added.
Other American efforts are aimed at discrediting Qaeda operations, including the decision to release seized videotapes showing members of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, a largely Iraqi group with some foreign leaders, training children to kidnap and kill, as well as a lengthy letter said to have been written by another terrorist leader that describes the organization as weak and plagued by poor morale.
Even as security and intelligence forces seek to disrupt terrorist operations, counterterrorism specialists are examining ways to dissuade insurgents from even considering an attack with unconventional weapons. They are looking at aspects of the militants’ culture, families or religion, to undermine the rhetoric of terrorist leaders.
For example, the government is seeking ways to amplify the voices of respected religious leaders who warn that suicide bombers will not enjoy the heavenly delights promised by terrorist literature, and that their families will be dishonored by such attacks. Those efforts are aimed at undermining a terrorist’s will.
Efforts are also under way to persuade Muslims not to support terrorists. It is a delicate campaign that American officials are trying to promote and amplify — but without leaving telltale American fingerprints that could undermine the effort in the Muslim world. Senior Bush administration officials point to several promising developments.
Saudi Arabia’s top cleric, Grand Mufti Sheik Abdul Aziz al-Asheik, gave a speech last October warning Saudis not to join unauthorized jihadist activities, a statement directed mainly at those considering going to Iraq to fight the American-led forces.
And Abdul-Aziz el-Sherif, a top leader of the armed Egyptian movement Islamic Jihad and a longtime associate of Mr. Zawahri, the second-ranking Qaeda official, has just completed a book that renounces violent jihad on legal and religious grounds.
Such dissents are serving to widen rifts between Qaeda leaders and some former loyal backers, Western and Middle Eastern diplomats say.
As the top Pentagon policy maker for special operations, Michael G. Vickers creates strategies for combating terrorism with specialized military forces, as well as for countering the proliferation of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.
Much of his planning is old school: how should the military’s most elite combat teams capture and kill terrorists? But with each passing day, more of his time is spent in the new world of terrorist deterrence theory, trying to figure out how to prevent attacks by persuading terrorist support networks — those who enable terrorists to operate — to refuse any kind of assistance to stateless agents of extremism.
“Obviously, hard-core terrorists will be the hardest to deter,” Mr. Vickers said. “But if we can deter the support network — recruiters, financial supporters, local security providers and states who provide sanctuary — then we can start achieving a deterrent effect on the whole terrorist network and constrain terrorists’ ability to operate.
Much effort is being spent on perfecting technical systems that can identify the source of unconventional weapons or their components regardless of where they are found — and letting nations around the world know the United States has this ability.
President Bush has declared that the United States will hold “fully accountable” any nation that shares nuclear weapons with another state or terrorists.
Rear Adm. William P. Loeffler, deputy director of the Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction at the military’s Strategic Command, said Mr. Bush’s declaration meant that those who might supply arms or components to terrorists were just as accountable as those who ordered and carried out an attack.

Costs, promotions, types, and availability might range. There may be limits to the duvet and the items might have to be specifically mentioned in your coverage documents. Which means that as a part of the contents policy, the insurer will cowl you and your legal costs if a customer to your property is seriously injured and it’s deemed to be your fault. You probably have a baby studying, and dwelling away from dwelling, they could mechanically be lined towards theft or loss as a part of your private home insurance coverage, below its ‘quickly removed from the home’ part.
However, buildings policies also needs to cowl the price of someplace so that you can keep while your home’s rebuilt or is uninhabitable. Insurers recommend the lock is professionally fitted, the price of which may be much like or larger than the lock itself. In 2005, a hundred million people worldwide had been estimated to be homeless , 13 although some prefer the time period ‘houseless’ or ‘unsheltered’. Alternatively, in case you prefer your little one to have their very own policy, see our Contents Insurance for Tenants information.
We purpose to point out you dwelling insurance coverage quotes from as many insurance corporations as potential, so that you could find the precise coverage for you. For instance, some insurers – Co-op, Hastings and Tesco, to call just a few – may have a separate extra for each parts of your policy.

Presents stored in your home might be lined by your typical contents insurance coverage, however when you’ve bought large-ticket objects as items they might need to be listed individually.
The judicial review calls for the Home Workplace to set the registration price at £372 – which covers administrative prices – and introduce a waiver for these youngsters who can’t afford it and for children in council care. Flash estimates from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Monday confirmed that personal residence costs rose for the fourth straight quarter, up 3.four per cent within the second quarter after a three.9 per cent improve within the first quarter. As a homeowner, she is fearful an enormous property tax hike is in store.
Virtually all insurers limit the number of days you can leave your private home unoccupied for while nonetheless masking you – usually 30 days. Buildings insurance gives cover for the structural components of your home, such because the windows or roof, and covers the cost of repairs or rebuilding work. Chai Patel, the legal coverage director on the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, stated the Residence Workplace was keen to destroy the futures of kids who’ve grown up British for profitâ€.

IrishCentral.com has learned exclusively that Natasha Richardson will be laid to rest in the town of Millbrook in Dutchess County, near the home she shared with husband Liam Neeson.
Meanwhile the New York City medical examiner's office said that the results of the actress's autopsy, which was carried out today, reveal that she died of “epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head." She hit her head Monday while skiing.
Medical Examiner Ellen Borakove released a statement saying that Richardson died of "an accident" and recorded that time of death as 7:26 PM on Wednesday, March 18.
Richardson, wife of Irish actor Liam Neeson, was 45.
In tribute to the actress, Broadway theaters will dim their lights this evening, at exactly 8:00pm for one minute.
Neeson has said that the family is devastated and has appealed for privacy. Neighbors reported seeing Neeson in tears near the family's home on Tuesday. "He was weeping and looked distraught and just so out of it," said Kara-Lynn Vaeni. "My heart was broken for him."
Neeson, 56, her mother, Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave, 72, and two sons, Michael, 13, and Daniel, 12, had kept vigil at the stricken star's bedside after she was flown from Canada to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York on Tuesday.
Richardson and Neeson supported many causes over the years from the arts in New York to the victims of the Omagh bombing.
In 1998, Liam and Natasha donated nearly $100,000 to the families of the victims of the bombing in Omagh.
The money came from a libel action that the couple won after the Daily Mirror alleged their marriage was over.
They gave the money away to help others rather than take it themselves.
Neeson and Richardson met when Neeson made his Broadway debut in 1993 in “Anna Christie." They were married in 1994 and later made the film "Nell" together.
Neeson himself was almost killed in a motorcycle accident in 2000. He was riding his bike in upstate New York when a deer ran in front of the bike, causing a terrible collision. Neeson suffered a broken pelvis, broken heel and a number of abrasions from the accident, and spent months undergoing grueling physical therapy.
The ski resort where Richardson fell issued a statement Tuesday which said Richardson had appeared fine after the accident. "Ms Richardson fell during a ski lesson but she didn't show any signs of injury. The ski patrol looked at her and reported that she was laughing and joking.
"'They told her to see someone but she insisted that she was fine and just wanted to go back to her room. The instructor and two members of the patrol accompanied her to her hotel room.
"She refused to see anyone and signed a paper saying she didn't want to see a doctor.

when you start an eBay store, you know you’ll have a lot of competition and that you’re going to have to do some marketing to get your items noticed. The best way to make sales isn’t to just sit and wait and hope.
Selling on eBay is just like selling anywhere else – you have to make some noise. One really interesting way to do that is to integrate your eBay store into your own WordPress website.
eBay is one of the most popular sales outlets on the ‘net. Virtually anybody can set up a shop on eBay and run an online store. Integrating your eBay store into your WordPress website will give you an advantage because you have a platform to promote your items from. You can take it even further by becoming an eBay affiliate through the eBay Partner Network and make even more money from affiliate sales.
One reason to display eBay auction items on your own website is you can get a commission from the sale. Anyone who goes to eBay through your link and makes a purchase is an affiliate sale for you. This is done through the eBay Partner Network (ePN). You can get a good commission through this network. The affiliate rewards vary depending on the category and location.
What’s even cooler is that you get a commission for the sale even if it’s your own products that sell. So you get paid twice – once for selling the item and once for being an affiliate and having someone buy through your link. You can share these links on several sites and social networks. Just make sure that when you share your eBay listings that you follow eBay’s policy. You can post links on other sites, but buyers must come to eBay to buy your items.
This last tip will be the focus for the rest of this article. The listings can be your own or someone else’s.
There are many advantages of integrating eBay listings within your site. We’ve already seen the advantage of affiliate sales, but there are also advantages for your own sales and your business and brand. Integrating your eBay listings into your WordPress website increases your brand awareness. It also gives you a platform where you can discuss your products and promote them.
This is a way to show your (or anyone else’s) eBay listings on your WordPress site. That’s a great way to show your products that you have for sale on eBay. There are two ways to display eBay listings on your WordPress website: posting them manually, and by using plugins.
WordPress makes it easy to paste outside links in your posts and pages, but it’s not the same process as just pasting a regular URL. For eBay links this will only display the URL and not the eBay auction. To post the auction, you just go to your ePN page, select tools, select Link Generator, fill in the information, generate the link, copy the URL, and paste it into your post or page on its own line.
This works great for a few posts. One problem is there is no way to automatically handle the post after the auction has ended. This means you either have to delete the post, manually update the post, or have a post on your site that links to an auction that has ended. This can get very time-consuming if you run a store on eBay and you want to post all of your items (which could be a LOT of items).
A better way to handle this is by using a plugin.

Often in mathematics, it is possible to prove the existence of a solution to a given problem, but it is not possible to "find it". For example, there are general theorems to prove the existence and uniqueness of an initial value problem for an ordinary differential equation. However, it is in general impossible to find an analytical expression for the solution. In cases like these numerical methods can provide an answer, albeit limited: for example, there are numerical procedures (called algorithms) that, given an initial value problem, will compute its solution. This module is designed to cover four key areas: linear equations, quadratures (ie the evaluation of definite integrals) and the solution of Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations. The nature of the module is eminently practical: we will cover relatively little of the mathematical background of the numerical techniques that we will study. On the other hand students will be required to do a reasonable amount of programming in eg python; part of the assessment will test their ability to code in a suitable language and to put into practice the theoretical methods studied at lectures. Seven computer laboratory sessions are associated to this module and will complement the lectures.
To introduce the students to the practical application of a relatively wide spectrum of numerical techniques and familiarise the students with their implementation, using eg python.
Use your knowledge of a programming language such as Python to learn more easily any other programming language you will need to use in future.
Linear Systems Linear systems, direct methods (Gaussian and LU decomposition), indirect methods (Jacobi, Gauss- Seidel). Quadratures Polynomial interpolation methods and adaptive methods. Initial Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations Basic theory, one-step methods (Euler, Runge-Kutta), predictor-corrector methods, multi-stepmethods (Adam-Bashforth, Adam-Moulton). Higher order ODEs and systems of ODEs. Boundary Value Problems for ODEs Shooting, finite differences. Introduction to finite elements Partial Differential Equations Basic theory, simple PDEs (Poisson, Heat, Wave). Finite difference algorithms for parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic PDEs. Non-Linear Equations Bisection method. Contraction mappings and Newton’s method for functions of one or more variables. Programming Use of a suitable language and environment (eg python). Implementation of standard methods. Use of standard libraries.
36 lectures supported by computer labs, online material and independent study.

Antioxidants are molecules that delay or prevent the oxidation of other chemicals. Oxidation refers to the chemical reaction between oxygen molecules and all other substances they may come in contact with, and a process that leads to cell and tissue damage. Antioxidants usually refer to the organic substances that include vitamins A, C, and E, mineral selenium, and carotenoids. These substances are popularly known as anti-aging agents, as they fight free radicals and oxidant molecules which impair cell walls, cell structures and good fats.
While they are commonly known to slow down the aging process, antioxidants have a lot of other benefits to the human body. Antioxidant fruits, for instance, which are rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, lutein, lycopene, selenium and beta-carotene are capable of protecting the heart, strengthening memory, helping digestion, stabilizing proper cholesterol, combating diabetes effects, building proteins, fighting viruses and bacteria, strengthening cell membrane and nervous system, boosting the immune system, and reducing the risk of cancer. They have other benefits as well.
With so many antioxidant supplement products in the form of tablets, capsules, gels, juice, and other beverages available in the market today, choosing the right supplement your body needs can be very confusing.
Determine your purpose for taking a supplement. Remember that you can get antioxidants from fruits and vegetables and that you may not need to augment your intake of antioxidants through supplements if your diet is complete with the proper nutrients your body needs. Do you require supplements to boost your memory, nourish your skin, manage your blood sugar levels, and so on? It is essential to know what you are taking the supplement for that you can find the exact antioxidant supplement needed by your body.
Never forget to check the labels. Supplemental facts are required to be displayed on the label of products, whether they are food or drugs. It should indicate proper consumption of the supplement, conditions which may arise if it is taken inappropriately, the expiration date, laboratory test results and quality guarantees, seals of approval, and so on. If any vital information is missing, forget the product.
It is best to choose the trusted brand. Naturally, no product will advertise its inefficiency. With many people gearing toward natural or herbal dietary supplements for treating and preventing all sorts of illnesses, it is difficult to choose which product is reliable and safe among the wealth of choices...they all promise positive effects and yet supplements are mostly unregulated. If you know no other brands and you are contemplating purchasing an unfamiliar brand, it pays to check the manufacturer and find reviews pertaining to the product. Do not compromise your safety by purchasing an unheard-of supplement without performing sufficient verification to prove it is safe for consumption and will do what it says it will.
If you are taking any prescription medicines along with any herbal antioxidant - whether antioxidant juice or merely an antioxidant skin supplement - let your doctor know. Whatever goes on in your body is your responsibility, hence it is wise to consult with your physician prior to taking any supplemental drugs.

Run-Down Forums :: View topic - How about them throwers.
Posted: Tue May 28, 2002 1:15 pm Post subject: How about them throwers.
The shot putters have been going absolutly nuts lately, with three US men throwing farther than 71'10" at the Pre Classic.
Add in the 73'10.25" throw Nelson had a week or so ago and that's enough to even get a distance fan like me keeping an eye on the throwing ring.
I should mention that I took a closer look at the Mt. Hood CC shot facility (site of the adidas meet) while there for 2 days over the weekend, and the image I had in mind earlier about it possibly sloping downhill does not appear to be correct. There's a lot of sloping stuff around it to throw a quick glance off visually, but the sector appears perfectly level.

M_A_C hasn't added any friends yet.
Street Fighter is tempting even tho I have it on PC, but none of the DLC characters.
I might have been the only one to watch it, but that show was really good. More interesting reviles than E3 for me.
So when should we expect to be seeing the Destiny 2 PC credits you think?
do you guys do the "protection" they offer on these site?
Curious, what about all of the none portable stuff you can do with the switch? I don't plan on using the portable mode much if at all as I've always wanted to play 3ds (aka portable) games on a TV.
Mario is basically the main selling point for me.
Pokken Tournament is $50/$40 this week.
Tempting but still a bit much.
, watching people stream DSIII makes me mad i didn't cdkeys DSIII when i had the chance. goddammit.
yeah it was like $31.99. I just wasn't sure the PC port would be good. Looks like it's great.
#13000908 Best Buy $10 Reward Certificates Pre-order Promo.
So it's been over a week and I still haven't received my $10 credit from Syndicate. Should I start to panic?
When will I receive my $10 reward certificate?
For each qualified purchase, you will receive 500 My Best Buy points (worth $10 in reward certificates) credited to your account approximately 20 days after street date or store pickup.
Good deal but I canceled my order. Don't need or want either so why bother lol.
Anyone hating on this game hasn't played it. It's super fun.
Just picked up the PS4 version. $20 off right now for both versions in store.
Anybody get this Gift card yet?
I'd hardly call MS desperate. I'm quite enjoying my X1 while that ps4 of mine barely gets played. I'm about to go pickup infamous but it doesn't look like it's too good either.
Ah maybe these ps4 exclusives will start being good, soon. Greatness "awaits", they ain't lyin'.
Infamous is amazing! your just doing yourself a disservice if you really have a PS4 and not getting it.
so can you still preorder or do you have to have it preordered already?

I am lucky enough to have travelled some in my life, but some travels stick in my memory longer than others. I don’t even have to go back and look through my many photos, they are just there, under the skin. The trip to Georgia (the country), this June was definitely one of them. It just stays with me, I cannot let it go: images come back, smells return all of a sudden, landscapes flash by my eyes. The history of Georgia is fascinating. Traits of the earliest occupation of of present-day Georgia goes back to c. 1.8 million years ago, and the oldest evidence of humans anywhere in the world outside Africa is said to be found in this area. Not only is Georgia the assumed cradle of wine, the country is also a cultural melting pot of food cultures with traces from Caucasian, eastern European and Middle Eastern culinary traditions. Generous tables filled with small dishes remind slightly of meze, but still, this is a world of its own: fresh and grilled cheeses, salads, polenta and meat spiced up with wild herbs, chili, coriander, pomegranate, dill (to my Swedish joy), and much more. And the bread. The bread only reflects the diversity and cultural richness of this country. In Georgia, originally there was no one single word for bread, but around a hundred names for different types, all playing roles in special occasions such as child births, marriages or funerals.
But now, to the main point: Georgian wines. Traces of wine have been found in qvevris, clay amphoras, from 6000 years BC. The traditional Georgian winemaking in qvevris was 2013 inserted in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. The best-known Georgian wine regions today are Kakheti, Kartli, Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi, Kvemo Svaneti, Adjara and Abkhazia. Although a big part of the production today is industrial, many producers still make wine in the traditional way. What now often goes under the trendy definition of “natural wines” is for most Georgian people just ordinary wine making: the fermentation of grapes with no addition of yeast, sulphites or other additives. EVERYONE makes wine in Georgia. Even if just a small plot, everyone has a vineyard with a few vines. Making wine is nothing special, it is an inherent part of Georgian life style. It has not (yet) become an issue of fanciful wineries with expensive tastings, it is not about going to the right wine bar and showing off, rather wine is a part of the daily life. Now, of course times are changing, and the first wine bar in the Georgian capital of Tblisi, Vino Underground, founded by our highly knowledgeable Georgia guide John Wurdeman in 2012, shows signs of a new way of consuming wine for Georgians. Georgian wines will surely be, if not already, the major hype in the wine world in all trendy big cities within short.
Georgian wines are different and perhaps not that easy to get in the beginning. The typical Amber wines are made by a heavy maceration of the skins, seeds and even stems of white grapes, leading to a very rich, tannic and often resin-like flavor. One producer in Georgia strongly warned me to use the often heard name “Orange wine”, which according to him makes people think it is made of oranges, and thus not a real wine. And Amber wines are real wines, it doesn´t get anymore real than this. You just need to dismiss your idea of what a wine “should” taste like and be open to something new, because Georgian wines should not be compared with any others. And though the taste can be difficult, when having an Amber wine together with Georgian food it makes a lot of sense, they are ment to be together.
The Georgian people we met showed an amazing hospitality, but one warning goes out: during a tasting you have to accept ALL the wine offered (and it is a lot) and you have to finish ALL OF IT, in order not to be unpolite. What in my world has become a normal tool during wine tastings, the spit cup, is inexisting in Georgia. The saying: “drink like a Georgian”, which I had heard already before going there, got materialized during this trip. Somehow, I had thought it was a bit exaggerated and that I, being from the vodka-drinking belt in the north, should be able to handle it. The answer to my preassumptions is NO. Vodka belt or not, in this context I felt like a beginner. So, my advise is: don’t go to a Georgian wine tasting unless you are really thirsty.
A few months have passed and I still have Georgia on my mind. I just cannot forget it. The colorful food, the time-worn buildings with their underground energy, the mix of arabic, eastern European, even viking aesthetics, the friendly people, the post-sovjectic deserted hotels in the countryside. Walking the streets of the hot, busy, chaotic Tblisi and passing through the humid, mountainous countryside where qvevri makers prepare the newly made amphoras with boiling honey. Emerging my self into a hot sulphurbath, horseback riding in the wild nature of Signaghi, having newly caught freshwaterfish prepared over an open fire on a run-down inner yard. It is as if time stands still, and, at the same time, everything is vibrantely alive.
You don´t even have to like wine, there are so many reasons to go to Georgia that you will have no excuse not to.
Ps. When you go, Travelling roots are the people to contact.

Scientists are developing a “golden bullet against breast cancer”, the Daily Mail has reported. It says that the new research has tested the use of tiny shards of gold to heat up and destroy the deadly cells that help tumours grow.
The story is based on a laboratory study using lasers to heat tiny gold “nano-shells” injected into breast cancer tissue extracted from humans and mice. It specifically looked at using the technique to fight cancer stem cells, a type of resilient cancer cell thought to cause relapses and spreading of cancer. Combining this heating, known as ‘hyperthermia’, with radiotherapy reduced the stem cells’ growth compared to when radiotherapy was used alone.
Although this particular treatment shows promise, it is some way from being usable as a treatment for women with breast cancer. Before it could be tested in humans, this type of new treatment would have to undergo the usual sequence of pre-clinical trials to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. However, the authors report that similar types of heat are currently being trialled as treatments for other types of cancer, and they may soon inform us of the technique’s potential.
The study was carried out by researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. It was supported by grants from several research foundations, including the US National Cancer Institute and National Institutes for Health. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Science Translational Medicine.
It was accurately covered by the Daily Mail, which highlighted that this research is still at a developmental stage.
This was an experimental, early-stage laboratory study, using both mice and human breast cancer cells to explore the behaviour of breast cancer stem cells, in particular when they were exposed to radiotherapy and an experimental form of heat treatment (called hyperthermia).
The researchers say that “residual” cancer stem cells are thought to be resistant to conventional cancer treatments and, as a type of stem cell, can renew themselves over long periods of time. They could therefore be responsible for breast cancer recurring or spreading to other sites in the body, even some years after treatment.
The researchers say that clinical trials of heat treatment (called hyperthermia) have shown that it can damage breast cancer cells, either by killing them directly or by making them more sensitive to radiation treatment. Advances in technology also mean that heat can now be directed to specific locations, such as cancer cells, using safe and non-invasive delivery methods.
The researchers used two laboratory models to test the use of heat therapy. These models used specially cultured breast cancer tumours either grown in genetically engineered mice or grown as tissue taken from human breast cancers. For their experiments, they chose a cancer type that is more aggressive and less responsive to standard treatments.
From both types of tissue, the researchers grew populations of cancer stem cells to test the effects of radiation treatment, both alone and when combined with heat treatment. Heat treatment was performed using gold nano-shells - microscopic particles made of silica coated with an ultra-thin layer of gold. These are designed to settle near cancer cells, where they could then be heated to 42ºC using a laser, transferring heat to the cancer cells to damage them.
The cancer cells were first identified using special staining techniques. One group of cells was injected with the gold nano-shells, treated with radiotherapy, then immediately given 20 minutes of heat treatment. Other groups of cells were exposed to radiotherapy alone, heat treatment alone and mock heat treatment (where the gold was injected but the heat was not applied).
To determine whether heat treatment had any effect on how tumours behaved, the treated cells were transplanted into mice, and the number of cells, the tumour size and cancer markers were measured up to 96 hours after treatment.
The researchers found that in both sets of breast cancer tissue, the cancer stem cells were more resistant to radiotherapy than other tumour cells, increasing in number 48-72 hours after treatment.
However, they found that where cancer cells had been treated with heat after radiotherapy, the tumour size was reduced and the percentage of stem cells had not increased.
Forty-eight hours after treatment, the cells from tumours treated with both radiation and heat were less able to reproduce than cells treated with radiation alone.
The researchers say their study confirms that cancer stem cells are resistant to radiotherapy alone, and that they continue to divide and grow after treatment. They conclude that localised heat treatment using gold nano-shells can reduce this resistance to radiotherapy.
This laboratory study using mice and human breast cancer cells appears to demonstrate that localised heat treatment can reduce breast cancer stem cells’ resistance to radiotherapy. This is of particular note as these are the type of cells that are thought to be responsible for relapses of the disease. As such, this novel technique holds some promise for the future.
However, this was an early, experimental test of the technology in isolated tissue. Far more research is needed before we can determine the efficacy and safety of this treatment or use it to treat women with breast cancer. The technology is reportedly being trialled for the treatment of neck and head cancers, which may soon give a clearer picture of its potential.

Bowls & food storage items for your pet have become more sophisticated. In the last few years, a few companies like Drinkwell who is now owned and operated by PetSafe, and Pioneer Pet Products have come out with water fountains that keep the water circulated and fresh. Studies have shown that clean, fresh water entices cats and dogs to drink more often, helping them to have healthier urinary tract and kidney function. Both Drinkwell and Pioneer pet fountains are veterinarian used and recommended. Dog and cat bowls have taken advancements too. They have no tip and no slip dishes, slow feed bowls, travel bowls, anti spill bowls for the car, and feeders that catch the overflow from messy eaters. We have recently added a variety of colorful slow feed bowls from Kyjen!
We carry a variety of stainless steel, ceramic, and high grade plastic feeders. Our Ceramic bowls have a very pretty gray outside and blue inside glazes. One of the causes of cat acne is from bacteria growing in the scratches made in cheap plastic bowls, that’s why we stock a large variety of ceramic and stainless steel pet dishes. We also havebasic elevated diners, and adjustable diners for large growing dogs. We have a variety of kennel cups that attach inside the kennel door in plastic and stainless steel styles.
We keep a limited supply of gravity feeders because in most cases its better to avoid free feeding, but we do have some in stock. Along with the bowls themselves, we also carry a great selection of air tight food storage bins made by Vittle Vault, and a few different food mats to keep your floor a little cleaner.. Stop by and check out our selection.

Gov. Babangida Aliyu of Niger said that the formation of the G-7 governors’ group was to reform the PDP, owing to the party’s failure to adhere to democratic principles.
Aliyu said this in Minna on Thursday when the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), led by its Country Vice-President, Mrs Hauwa Shekarau, paid him a courtesy visit.
“ For the benefit of those who may not understand; I led the so-called G-7 governors as a result of the reform which we were looking for in our party.
“The idea was not to leave our party but to reform it; along the line, some people found it more expedient to leave the party; that is their choice.
“Those of us who feel that if you want a reform and you want to do it within; I think our views should also be respected.
“People must not go and play politics in whatever form where it creates more problems.
“For us in Niger State, we welcome the development of a two-party system; rather than having so many parties that end up creating political prostitutes.
“ I am seizing this opportunity to say this because there is a lot of misinformation out there,’’ he said.
Aliyu also said that the G-7 governors’ forum was formed because “ some people within the party were taking the electoral success of the PDP since 1999 for granted’’.
The governor said that there was a need to make the party to understand that it could not take people’s support for granted.
“You need really to invigorate the people’s support, so as to enable you to be properly accepted by them.
“For anybody who fails to remember, I have always said that my intention was not to leave the PDP but to reform it.
“I said that it is not a one-man show or about me; it also is not about my ambition, it is about the people.
“And I said that there is no way I will take any decision without coming back to my people.
“Majority of my people prefer that we stay in PDP and we will stay in the party and make it work’’, he said.
Earlier, the Country Vice-President of FIDA decried the increasing rate of violence against women and children in the country.
“We at International Federation of Women Lawyers will always join the global train in efforts to eradicate violence against women and children,’’ she said.
Shekarau, however, called for the enactment of appropriate laws to protect the wellbeing of women and children.

Allah, the Most EXALTED is perfect in His Exaltation and Highness, He is perfect in His Dignity, Superiority, and His SupremeSelf and Attributes. He is too Exalted for defects and faults; the perception of minds can not perceive His Existence on their own.
Being exalted and high or being low applies to concrete things, such as bodies, as well as to abstract things. Everything that is considered to be high in place is said to have local highness, and everything that has a high rank is said to have exalted highness. As for the abstract things that have a degree of highness, there is the discrepancy between the cause and the effect, the doer and the thing done, the perfect and the faulty; the cause is higher than the effect, the doer is higher than the thingdone, and the perfect is higher than the faulty.
Accordingly, we cannot divide the existing things into different grades of the mind, unless we consider that Allah, Praise and Glory be to Him, is in the highest grade, as it is not imaginable to assume that there is a grade higher above His Grade. Moreover, all existing things are divided into the living and the dead; the living things are divided into those that have nothing but sensual perception, such as animals, and those that have sensual and intellectual perception, such as the human beings.The human being is entrusted, afflicted with blights and he may not be freefrom faults. Angels are flawless, they are free from faults and acquittedfrom defects; their grade is higher than that of the human being and thegrade of the human being is higher than that of animals.
Allah, Praise and Glory be to Him, is too Exalted for being compared to anything; He is the Ever-Living, the Life-Giver, the Creator of life; the Omniscient, the Creator of sciences; He is too Exalted for all sorts of defects. Thereupon, we must perceive the exalted Highness of the Supreme Self, we must not perceive the highness of the Exalted Self as being restricted to location, for Allah is too Exalted for any limitation or estimation with regard to the confinement of bodies.
Though Allah is Most EXALTED, yet His Exaltation does not make Him remote from His creatures; He is Exalted, yet He is near to every existing being, and He is even nearer to him than his jugular vein; His nearness does not resemble the nearness of bodies, just as His Self does not resemble the selves of His creatures. Despite His nearness to His creatures, He is too far above them with His Divine Epithets, and His Exaltationis not relative to anything.
Allah is the Most EXALTED, the Supreme above all, He is high above the partners that some ascribe to Him; He is High above all that they say, Exalted and Great beyond measure! He is the Most EXALTED, the Most High, the Supreme above all; Praise and Glory be to Him, He is Allah.

So, the holidays are coming and all of our favorite authors have a holiday release coming out—HUZZAH!
There is something irresistible about the winter solstice holidays and romance. It’s like the requirements of good will and gift giving make it possible to violate all of the rules of reality in a quest for a happy ending. Even your angstiest author abandons the gritty romance of a dangerous street for a gentler, kinder romance, one in which the outcome is never really in doubt.
This season can be a lot of fun in terms of books. The happy romance reader gets to go out and buy something light and fluffy, or poignant and sweet. Something that offers a panacea to shopping panic and a brief, happy sequester from family quarrels and strife that can sometimes overwhelm us during the holidays. It’s a good feeling—I know I’m not immune, as a reader. I want that happy, sappy, weepy, chocolaty yum piece for my December and January, and oh yes, I have a few authors that never fail to deliver.
Of course, for your happy romance writer, it’s time to write something sweltering in August—for, say, a ten-month lead time, or skippy in May for the seven or twenty-month crowds, or maybe a Valentine’s piece for a fifteen month timeline.
The fact is, romance writers are never writing during the time that they’re living—and that can be either a hindrance or a help to the writing process as a whole.
It’s a help when you’re desperate to escape the time you’re in, or when you’re eager to revisit the joy of the holidays. Some people slip easily into their Winter Solstice Slippers during the rest of the year, and that makes writing a breeze. Huzzah! They get to relive December, and that’s jolly good fun!
However, that jolly good fun thing isn’t for everybody. When the sun is sweltering down in May and you’re still paying off your Christmas bills and your entire state is either a hot wool blanket or a dust bowl in a blender, thinking about the holiday season might be a little bit difficult. If you’re writing your holiday story in February, when you’re craving any spot of sun and the bright cold of December just seems like the precursor that doomed you to a damp and frigid death, it might be even worse. These are times when a writer might need some help recreating Christmas cheer.
Reading the solstice letters you wrote and sent out over the seasons. I’m lucky in that January 3rd is the latest I’ve ever sent a batch out (I have the blog post to prove it!) so these are all seasonally themed. They can help you remember things like concert and dance appearances, what your kids are doing that time of year, and what shopping was like in December—all of which help build holiday mood.
If you blog, go back in your archives and read the posts you put out in November/December, and even the beginning of January. Those also have pictures of family in them for me, so that really gets the holiday happy going.
Which brings me to holiday pictures of family. Yes. Use them shamelessly. Again, you are trying to recreate a smell, a mood, an ineffable feeling. If you have a family that has loved and celebrated a winter solstice holiday, then looking at those pictures might take you right where you need to be.
Cooking some solstice celebration and food. Not the whole turkey and the works, no—but some cranberry sauce and a baked potato with gravy, or a pumpkin spiced iced tea might get the holiday juices flowing.
Music! Of course, in my house, Christmas/Solstice music is strictly verboten until after Thanksgiving, but be assured, I would TOTALLY hit that playlist if I was having problem writing Yuletide Greetings in late May!
Cleaning out the garage or winter wear drawers. Now, I’ll admit, I don’t actually do this last one, but I’m sure for some of you people with organized lives, this will be a real help. Tell me all about it, yes?
So there you go—some suggestions for conjuring up Christmas (or Feast Day, or Yule, or Hanukah) in July. Or May. Or February. Or, you know, whenever you’re writing your winter solstice themed story when it’s not winter solstice time!
And as for those of us writing our hot and sweaty romances now? When cargo shorts, flip-flops and a tank shirt would damage some of the bits many romance writers and readers love best?
Well, there’s always shotgunning episodes of Hawaii 5-0, Lost, or Breaking Bad. (Not that Breaking Bad will actually put you in a romantic mood, but it did have “sweaty desert” down to a science.) If that fails, there’s cranking your heater up and lounging about in your summer wear, or visiting your gym and taking advantage of the sauna. There are some amazing calendars featuring beautiful and exotic summer lands—those could help too!
Or—and this is the best one, the one that should be used by all romance writers ever in order to convince their spouses of the perfect present—you could convince your spouse that a vacation in Hawaii or the Caribbean would be a perfect gift for you, especially because you’re writing something in that setting, and you could really use the research.
So I think, this March, when I’ll be writing one of the first of my Christmas stories for next year, I will bake myself some fudge and make turkey and potatoes for dinner.
And tell my family that it’s research.

Studies conducted over the past century have shown that meteorological drought is never the result of a single cause. It is the result of many causes, often synergistic in nature. Scientists are closer now than in the past to understanding global weather patterns, but our ability to predict drought in North America is still quite limited. Researchers believe that a better understanding of long-term fluctuations in sea surface temperatures may eventually yield better drought predictions.
A great deal of research has been conducted in recent years on the role of interacting systems, or teleconnections, in explaining regional and even global patterns of climatic variability. These patterns tend to recur periodically with enough frequency and with similar characteristics over a sufficient length of time that they offer opportunities to improve our ability for long-range climate prediction, particularly in the tropics. One such teleconnection is the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
The immediate cause of drought is the predominant sinking motion of air (subsidence) that results in compressional warming or high pressure, which inhibits cloud formation and results in lower relative humidity and less precipitation. Regions under the influence of semipermanent high pressure during all or a major portion of the year are usually deserts, such as the Sahara and Kalahari deserts of Africa and the Gobi Desert of Asia. Most climatic regions experience varying degrees of dominance by high pressure, often depending on the season. Prolonged droughts occur when large-scale anomalies in atmospheric circulation patterns persist for months or seasons (or longer). The extreme drought that affected the United States and Canada during 1988 resulted from the persistence of a large-scale atmospheric circulation anomaly.
Scientists don't know how to predict drought a month or more in advance for most locations. Predicting drought depends on the ability to forecast two fundamental meteorological surface parameters, precipitation and temperature. From the historical record we know that climate is inherently variable. We also know that anomalies of precipitation and temperature may last from several months to several decades. How long they last depends on air-sea interactions, soil moisture and land surface processes, topography, internal dynamics, and the accumulated influence of dynamically unstable synoptic weather systems at the global scale.
The potential for improved drought predictions in the near future differs by region, season, and climatic regime.
In the tropics, for example, meteorologists have made significant advances in understanding the climate system. Specifically, it is now known that a major portion of the atmospheric variability that occurs on time scales of months to several years is associated with variations in tropical sea surface temperatures.
The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project has produced results that suggest that it may now be possible to predict certain climatic conditions associated with ENSO events more than a year in advance. For those regions whose climate is greatly influenced by ENSO events, TOGA project results may help produce more reliable meteorological forecasts that can reduce risks in those economic sectors most sensitive to climate variability and, particularly, extreme events such as drought.
In the extratropical regions, current long-range forecasts are of very limited reliability. The ability that does exist is primarily the result of empirical and statistical relationships. In the tropics, empirical relationships have been demonstrated to exist between precipitation and ENSO events, but few such relationships have been confirmed above 30 north latitude. Meteorologists do not believe that reliable forecasts are attainable for all regions a season or more in advance.

How to utilize the saving potentials of AS-Interface also for safety technology?
ASIsafe makes it happen. The safety-related version of AS-Interface facilitates the transmission of standard and safe data on one and the same bus system – TÜV-certified, up to PL e / Cat. 4 or SIL 3. No other supplier offers ASIsafe in such a scalable degree: From small safety islands to system-wide Safety Integrated architectures with superior safe PLC.
The MSS supports the implementation of safety-related functions independently of the controller or also facilitates full integration in the safety control system using the SIMATIC AS-i F-Links.
The modular SIMATIC AS-i Links based on ET 200SP enables AS interface networks to be easily connected fail-safe to safety controllers such as SIMATIC or SINUMERIK. With the SIMATIC AS-i F-Links, the advantages of AS-i can also be utilized in complex safety applications. They facilitate the application of AS-Interface, for example under fail-safe SIMATIC or SINUMERIK controls. Acting as links in bus-based safety technology, they support the ASIsafe telegrams' transfer to the PROFIsafe protocol – in both directions. As usual, the detection of safe signals is realized by means of rugged ASIsafe slaves. The safe data are processed in the control in parallel with the standard data's processing. As a result of safe processing, the control issues safety-related disconnection commands which are transmitted to the safe actuators, e.g. motor starters, via PROFIsafe. Furthermore, the safety-related signals can be further processed back on the ASIsafe level, for example for the disconnection of safe AS-i outputs in load feeders.
The ASIsafe Solution Local requires only few components: An MSS or a safety monitor and safe slaves. Neither fail-safe PLC nor special masters are required. The MSS monitors safe sensors (e.g. EMERGENCY-STOP), evaluates them in accordance with its parameterized safe logics and ensures their safe disconnection. Disconnection is realized in a distributed manner via ASIsafe in connection with safe AS-i outputs or via safe outputs integrated in the device.

It seems hard to believe that more than a week has passed since the initial impact of Hurricane Harvey and there are still so many areas under water with rescues still proceeding. However, in the aftermath of this truly devastating natural disaster it is encouraging to see so many relief efforts coming from across the country.
Whether it’s announced or not, all donations of time, material or funds are sorely needed and heartwarming to see. Like a church in Dayton that planned to fill up a bus with supplies and ended up with a bus and a semi-truck full of donations that were sent to Houston. Or the out-of-work mother in New Hampshire who felt compelled to help, so she engaged a local business and accumulated a semi-trailer of donated goods and materials to be sent to Houston. And many others who have joined forces to donate to those impacted by the devastation.
In the spirit of helping, we are extending software maintenance and Due Diligence billings for 60 days recognizing that the impacted customers of Best Case, CINcompass and CIN Legal Data Services may take weeks to get back to business. To determine the impact area, we are using the same ZIP Codes that are being used by the cellular carriers to offer free or discounted service to people impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We will be reaching out to the impacted firms directly but the impacted ZIP codes are also listed here.
If you have been affected by Hurricane Harvey, I hope our small gesture will help. If you are one of the many millions offering assistance to the people and businesses impacted by Hurricane Harvey, thank you!

Beer is about more than flavor, IBUs, and the debate over what is a craft beer and what isn’t. It’s about Life. It’s the proverbial icing on the cake.
Because while life isn’t all about beer, beer is all about life.
I like this topic because it appeals to my philosophical nature and my tendency to over-analyze everything. I can’t really decide what is the right beer to have for such a discussion, though something atmospheric should do the trick. I suspect one isn’t really even necessary but I want to keep the tradition of including a beer as part of each Session. After all, what’s a Session without a beer?
After rummaging through the beer refrigerator I settle on a small 375 ml bottle of Russian River Temptation (batch 002) that’s been in there for several months, at least. As this is an out-of-this-world topic I give in to temptation and pick an out-of-this-world beer. So beer in hand, let’s tackle this sucker. High in the upper atmosphere — the exosphere — where the air is thinnest, is a good place to start. Metaphorically, I’d like to peel back the layers as we get closer and closer to the surface of things, where the air is thicker and richer. Will the heat shield hold? It’s been hotter than hades in the Bay Area this week. I hope I chose my beer wisely.
This far from home, your favorite place to have a beer is undoubtedly home. No matter how far you roam, no matter how many places you adopt as new homes, no matter how much time has passed, you only have one original home, the place you were born. I spent the first eighteen years of my life in one place and only three houses, two of which belonged to my grandmothers and the third one was purchased by my mother when she married my alcoholic stepfather when I was five. That one was in downtown Shillington. After high school, I left and came back more times than I care to remember, always drawn home like the proverbial moth to the flame, perhaps for the warmth of familiarity.
I was amazed to see Stan over at Appellation Beer chose the Northeast Taproom in Reading, Pennsylvania and included a piece he wrote ten years before when owner Pete Cammarano still had the place. What’s amazing about that is that Reading is my hometown — or near enough, I grew up just outside Reading in a little suburb called Shillington. So every visit home also included stopping in at the Northeast Taproom to spend time with friends who weren’t fortunate enough to escape the slow death of Reading from a mid-size industrial, manufacturing hub into the “Outlet Capital of the World” where busloads of shoppers from all over the east coast flock to buy cheap goods and take advantage of Pennsylvania having no sales tax on clothing.
After a stint in the Army Band, I was back living in the Commonwealth when I turned 21. I was also married (to my first wife) and putting myself through college and working full-time running a record store in the mall. So my best bar days were behind me, at least in Reading. I learned about most of the good ones while still underage as my stepfather had an uncanny knack of knowing all the best taverns, especially which ones had the best food. So by the time I was 21, I already knew the best ones to go to and so spent little time on experimentation. I already knew which ones felt comfortable to me, though it would take considerably longer to understand why that was so. Two teachers at Wilson High School — where by father-in-law was superintendent — wrote a book called “The Bars of Reading” and were invited to be on the Tonight Show. (My prick of a father-in-law told them they couldn’t go, but they managed it without his blessing, but that’s another story). I still have my copy and it’s still remarkable just how many corner bars there were in such a small town. At some of them, even today, you can still buy a 7 oz. glass of draft beer for under a buck. But the Northeast Taproom was by far the best in modern times. It was a great combination of good selection, quirky weirdness yet with that neighborhood bar feel to it. I haven’t been back since Pete sold the place and in a way I’m almost scared to go. I just don’t want to prove Tom Wolfe right, even though in this case he probably is correct.
So there is something about a drink at home in places dripping with nostalgia and memories. I often glance about such places furtively, forgetting for a second that I’m old enough to legally be drinking inside, not just stealing sips from my stepfather’s glass when no one is looking. But as comfortable as I feel in such places, having grown up in them, and despite such wonderful atmosphere they are more a piece of history and the past than my favorite places right now. For that, we have to descend farther into the atmosphere to the Thermosphere, where the Space Shuttle happily tests yeast and the Aurora Borealis straddles the Karman Line (at 100 km — the international definition of where space begins).
Below that is the Mesosphere, which is where most of the meters that shower the Earth burn up in the atmosphere. They’re just too hot to drink with, despite there being a French beer called Meteor. As we close in on Earth, we next descend into the Stratosphere, which is where what’s left of the ozone layer resides. It’s also where we send weather balloons to track the patterns in the atmosphere used by meteorologists to incorrectly predict the weather so maddeningly often. Just a little farther along we reach the final layer, known as the Troposphere. This where the airplanes fly, at its thickest a mere 23,000 feet (4 1/3 mi.) at the poles and 60,000 feet (10 1/2 mi.) at the equator. We sit at the very bottom of this airy fishbowl, on our barstools, talking about the weather and quenching out thirst with another beer. That’s our own atmosphere. Of course, it doesn’t answer the question of our favorite drinking atmosphere.
Where is probably the first aspect you think of when the question of atmosphere is posed. Location, location, location. The other W’s are merely window dressing to place and merely modify your experience of that place whether temporally, by its fellowship or the reason you’re there in the first place. So without question “where” is what atmosphere is all about. It’s the hokey pokey. Everything else that may or may not enhance it doesn’t stand a chance unless you’ve chosen the right place to begin with. So where are the best places? That’s undoubtedly a personal decision, but there is, I think, some universal criteria that we’d all more or less agree with.
Comfort: In my opinion, the best places are the ones where I feel the most comfortable, however you define that. I don’t necessarily mean safe, some of my favorite places are often described as dive bars. But you have to feel in place, not out of it. Often, that requires other people, but not always. There are plenty places of solitude that would qualify for me.
Beauty: It’s hard to admit, but looks do matter. Who wouldn’t prefer the stunning vista of mountains or a lake to a brick wall? There’s something universally calming about the idylls of nature. Why fight it?
The Source: It’s hard to imagine a better place than the source of something as the best place to enjoy it. I can’t imagine the unfiltered Radeberger Zwickel tastes sweeter outside of its native Dresden. Isn’t that why barrel tasting is so wonderful? You just can’t get closer to the source than that. I’m sure that’s why I like drinking in breweries so much.
To me, when is less about time than season. Even here in California, where the seasons don’t make themselves individually known as forcefully as more temperate climates, there is a rhythm to the year. Some of it is imposed artificially by the calendar but much of it is still managed by nature herself. The time of year often makes the decision of a beer or range of beers for you. The blonde ale I’m enjoying right now is ideal for the warmth of this July day. If it were cooler, I’d be craving something heartier.
The people you drink with to my mind does more to change the experience than any other single factor, except for place. Simpatico drinking buddies are worth their weight in gold. They take a good situation — great place, great beer — and turn it into an experience worth remembering. Oftentimes, you can’t even remember what was discussed, just that it was an enjoyable experience. And in the end, that’s really all that matters.
And that brings us to why, which our hosts Ron and Al regard as being of the utmost importance. I’m not sure I place as much stock in the why as they do, though it’s undoubtedly important. I think, more often than not, the why of what makes a particular atmosphere comes out of the other factors, is in effect created by the place, the beer, the camaraderie, etcetera. It’s the synergy of all of the other factors coming together in such a way as makes them all fit together. I’m sure you can create those conditions artificially, but I’m willing to bet that it’s the ones that come together of their own accord that are the best. You can choose a great place. You can order a great beer. You can invite terrific friends to join you. But that’s still no guarantee of a great time. Oh, I’ll grant you it’s a good start and will probably work more often than not. Still, you could also go to the same place with the same people and drink the same beer night after night and not recreate a magical evening. It’s that indefinable synergy that provide the final ingredient and makes a pleasant evening into a truly memorable one.
Of course, like the best philosophy (not that I really have one), all of the preceding says quite a lot yet fails to answer the simple question of where is my favorite place to enjoy a beer. So here goes. During the day, my favorite location is where I spend most of my time — my house. In any comfy chair — comfort is king! — whether on the back deck, my office or the snuggle chair in the living room surrounded by my wife and friends is the ideal spot. At night, I fancy being out in the middle of nowhere with the bright stars twinkling overhead and a roaring campfire in front of me. Again, in a — what else? — comfy folding camp chair surrounded by my wife and friends.
Notice that regardless of the place, friends are an indispensable component of a favorite place to drink. Even though I continue to feel that location is of the utmost importance, it all falls apart if the experience can’t be enjoyed with the right people. Beer isn’t called a social lubricant for nothing. I haven’t read many other Session pieces yet, but I’m willing to bet sight unseen that for almost every single one, drinking with the right people is what it’s all about. I think that’s going to be near universal. Because while “place” makes the experience, “people” makes the experience worthwhile.
We started out, perhaps reluctantly, admitting “life isn’t all about beer” instead championing that “beer is all about life.” For those of us who think about beer so much more than the rest of the population — whatever we call ourselves — we do so because we’ve convinced ourselves that we’re in on a secret that enhances our very lives. It’s not necessarily a secret we want to keep, but instead is one we want to shout about to anybody willing to listen.
I imagine it’s like seeing color in a black and white world. How would you describe red or blue or yellow to someone who’s never seen color? And once you’ve seen the world in all it’s rich hues, the black and white world seems all gray and lifeless by comparison. It’s such a rich experience that you can’t help but want other people to see it, too. It’s too magnificent to keep it to yourself. It’s frankly a little frustrating when so many people seem to say, “nah, I like my world in black and white, thank you very much” because you know how much they’re missing. Sometimes I feel a little sorry for them, even though I know how patronizing and condescending that sounds. I see people I’ve known for years, still drinking industrial light lagers without a moment’s pause, and I just shake my head thinking of all of life’s pleasures they’re denying themselves. Because how could someone who thinks all beer is the same possibly even consider a question like atmosphere? It’s all the same, right? So what can it matter? I always imagine such people — trying to give them the benefit of the doubt — just feel they have more important things to think about. Truthfully, that never actually seems to be the case, and in fact many just seem to be sleepwalking through life not giving too much thought to any of the choices they make, beer or otherwise. If that really is the case, how many simple pleasures that you and I take for granted do they miss over and over again? If nothing else, loving beer is about enjoying life to the fullest, because it never stops with the beer. I guess beer is a gateway pleasure, because it leads to single malt scotch, cider, pairing with food, purposeful travel, fantastic cheese, port, cooking, and all manner of decadence that leads to a richer, fuller life. It also leads to an intuitive understanding that the very idea of “atmosphere” is important to the true enjoyment of life. That there is a healthy percentage of the world that can’t see that is very sad, indeed. Maybe that’s why there’s so much misery in the world today. Perhaps better beer really could save the world. Okay, I’ve changed my mind again. My favorite place to have a beer is that future world where everybody drinks good beer, war is an unknown concept and everybody understands that a life half-lived is a life wasted.
But how was the 002?

Head out on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Galapagos Islands. This island-hopping tour offers endless opportunities to see the unique wildlife that calls the islands home. You will get to see the natural spectacle while hiking, biking, kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming your way around the islands and sparkling sea.
Head out to the incredible archipelago which is the Galapagos. The unique mix of wildlife here inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution and continues to attract nature lovers every year. You will board a morning flight from Quito to the island of San Cristóbal. Here you will have a chance to settle in to your hotel and attend a short briefing about the coming adventure. In the afternoon, you will head to La Loberia. This is both a beach and nursery for Galapagos sea lions. These cheeky and inquisitive creatures can be spotted lazing on the sand or launching themselves off rocks into the sparkling seas. You may also see yellow warbler birds, frigate birds, and several species of Darwin Finch. Between the rocks you will find marine iguanas, which are unique to the Galapagos! Enjoy the warm sands and explore the waters with a snorkel.
In the morning of day three, you will take a speed boat to Kicker Rock, also known as the Sleeping Lion. Historic lava eruptions have left dramatic natural sculptures. The remains of two lava cones eroded by the sea now form two vertical rocks rising 500 feet above the ocean and form a channel through which your boat will make its way. These natural monuments are a favourite haven of a plethora of birds. Beneath the cerulean waves you will spy stunning tropical fish and even some sharks. After lunch, you will head to Cerro Brujo, an island teeming with froliking sea lions. This is a perfect opportunity to do some more snorkeling.
In the morning, you will head out to Isabela Island, the largest island in the archipelago and one of the most volcanically active places on earth. On the boat ride across, keep an eye out for dolphins and sharks. In the afternoon, you will head out on mountain bikes to explore the glorious coastline, taking you through an incredible ecosystem. You will stop to visit the Wall of Tears, a massive wall built with lava rocks. The site dates back to the ‘50s, when Isabela was used as a penal colony. Prisoners were forced to build the wall in order to keep them from going mad from the isolation. As you continue along the coast, you will explore pristine, white sand beaches, mangrove forests and lagoons. This is the perfect opportunity to see the incredible birdlife such as American oystercatchers, herons, flamingos, finches and many. Before dinner you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset on the beach.
You will begin the day by driving up from Puerto Villamil to the beginning of your hiking trail. You will prepare your backpacks and hike into the stunning young forest ecosystem. Your destination is the Sierra Negra Crater, an active volcano which last erupted in 2005. From the crater’s edge, you will have breathtaking views of the lava-filled crater, over six miles across at its widest point. In the afternoon, you will head down to visit Tintoreras Islet, a short distance from Puerto Villamil and home to a wonderful variety of wildlife. Its turquoise, crystalline waters are inhabited by white-tipped reef sharks, Galapagos penguins, turtles and sea lions. One of its beaches surrounded by mangroves is one of the few sites where marine iguanas can reproduce successfully.
Volcanic activity on the island has produce some of the most incredible natural land and seascapes imaginable. Today you will be exploring the amazing formations created by lava along the seashore. It is a labyrinth of lava arches amongst the waves. Swim through crystal clear water and spot sea turtles, eagle rays, sea lions, fish, white-tipped reef sharks and more. On the shore, get up close to the playful and curious Galapagos Penguins. Before or after the trip, you can enjoy some optional activities such as snorkeling at "Concha de Perla", taking surfing lessons or just relax on the exotic white-sand beaches of Isabela Island. We recommend you to take some time to visit the giant tortoise breeding centre.
In the morning, you will take a fast boat from Isabela to Santa Cruz Island. On the crossing keep an eye out for dolphins and whales. On the island, you will visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn all about the incredible species you have seen so far. You will also hear about the ongoing conservation work on the islands. In the afternoon, you will head to El Chato Reserve in the highlands, home to the famous Galapagos tortoise. Hike through a magical world filled with these lumbering giants. Other highland wildlife includes pintail ducks, egrets, flycatchers, and finches, and you will get a chance to watch frigate birds wash the salt from their wings in a freshwater lake. In the evening, return to Puerto Ayora.
Today you can take your time to experience the Galapagos at your own pace. Explore the dry forest on the way to Tortuga Bay, a gorgeous white sand beach and the nesting site of thousands of marine turtles. Here you are welcome to swim of snorkel. Alternatively, join an optional extra activity such as a trip to Floreana Island, Bartolome Island, or a scuba diving day trip.
After a final breakfast on the islands, board a flight to Quito and head to the mainland.
Activities: Snorkeling at Kicker rock, La Loberia and the Lava Tunnels, Biking to the Wall of Tears, Trekking to the top of Sierra Negra active volcano, snorkeling and kayaking in Tintoreras, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station, hiking in Santa Cruz highlands.
Gear: Snorkeling mask and fins, life vest.

Now that spring is here, it's time to start thinking about traveling to far-away locales and visiting our loved ones. But after reaching 50, there are certain issues that we need to keep in mind when leaving our familiar surroundings. Below are 16 tips to help circumvent unwanted travel troubles. Bon voyage!
When I first learned that most people begin to experience a subtle but measurable decline in memory in their 50s, I was not a happy camper. As a baby boomer, I simply couldn't understand why we can't somehow manage to stay forever young in spite of the passing years.
I just love it when I learn about an experiment that has turned out to be a win-win for everyone involved. Don't you?
Wouldn't it be nice to think of getting older as exhilarating rather than terrifying? Learning to accept all the aspects of aging -- the good, the bad and the ugly -- was the goal that inspired former NPR reporter Barbara Bradley Hagerty to write one of my favorite books of 2016, "Life Reimagined: The Science, Art, and Opportunity of Midlife."

Mark Burnett is breaking his silence on all those The Apprentice rumors about embarrassing Donald Trump tapes.
While the reality TV uber-producer did not address the question of whether unaired footage exists of the Republican nominee making inflammatory statements — or recent claims that Trump harassed women on the set — Burnett has denied a Buzzfeed report that portrayed him as a Trump supporter threatening his staff with lawsuits if they leaked any footage.
Speculation and rumors about The Apprentice tapes have been swirling since the Associated Press last week quoted Apprentice insiders claiming Trump sexually harassed women. After Access Hollywood’s leaked video on Friday showed Trump using lewd and sexually aggressive language in 2005, the din online for embarrassing The Apprentice tapes — which might not even exist — has gone through the roof.
Over the weekend, Bill Pruitt — producer for the first two seasons of NBC’s The Apprentice — claimed tapes exist of Trump making “far worse” comments than what he said in the leaked recording. (In that clip, from outtakes from an appearance on Access Hollywood, Trump said he could grab women “by the p—y” because of his fame, among other graphic statements.) Another TV veteran, producer Chris Nee, claimed in a now-deleted tweet that Trump — who spent 11 years as host of the reality television series — may have used the “N-word” on the tapes. (Nee later wrote she had only “heard rumors” of the videos.) That’s when Buzzfeed came in with its claim that Apprentice producer Burnett controls the footage and has threatened to sue any employee who leaks footage to the media. Nee claimed in another tweet that the contractual penalty for leaking footage was $5 million.
By this afternoon, HuffPo had obtained a transcript from an unaired Apprentice clip, declaring it the first leak. In the transcript, Trump mocks a contestant’s skin care, but his remarks are otherwise mild compared to the Access footage.

Ortiz-Vigón Clinic is a founder company of Smile is a Foundation. This non-profit foundation fosters, organizes and coordinates projects related to humanitarian aid in the biosanitary field. Smile is a Foundation aims to build up actions in the fields of cooperation and international development in developing countries. It is our Foundation’s desire to meet the needs of most vulnerable people with no access to free healthcare.
The Foundation is born thanks to the project Smiles for Zimbabwe, launched in 2011 by Sergio Morante and Diego Romero. It emerges with the spirit of meeting the needs of most vulnerable people with no access to healthcare in Zimbabwe.
Some years ago, several of us with extensive experience in volunteering in countries such as Honduras and Nicaragua got together. One of us had a contact in Zimbabwe who conveyed us the merging need of medical care in some rural regions of the country. We went there to work in a project called Smiles for Zimbabwe. Our work was hampered at administrative level. That was the prelude to the creation of the organization, achieving that initial project to become more robust, organized and official structure like a NGO.
It has grown to become what is nowadays, a great group of health professionals with experience in the field of humanitarian cooperation, maintaining the spirit with which the foundation was born.
Sergio, Diego, Alberto, Esperanza, Alfonso… they all are the soul of Smile is a Foundation and they share the aim of betting the lives of children, youth and adults who show symptoms.
Since its creation in 2011, 8 field campaigns have been conducted within the foundation, which leaves us on the brink of the ninth expedition this year (2018).
While the first two campaigns (2011 & 2012) focused on treating oral problems in the towns close to the border between Hwange park and Victoria falls (Matebele Land South) with an increase in the number of team members form year to year, in 2013 the dimension of the campaign enlarged. Annual regular dental care was extended to a community which takes up an area of 250km, dental checkups for children in some of the community schools were conducted, oral surgery and endodontic treatments were performed and conferences on oral hygiene for adults and children were held.
For 2015, the campaign involved a significant logistical and volunteer deployment of staff. The mobile clinic became active thanks to the collaboration of local volunteers. Moreover, the ophthalmologic project came into operation together with the odontology project.
The Foundation and its work has continued to grow exponentially in subsequent years.
995 attended patients. We have already overcome 14.000 treated patients if we sum up all the campaigns carried out before.
759 dental and optical treatments. More than 28.000 dental treatments carried out in total during these years.
6 optometrists, the team has tripled!
7 local medical professionals: 2 dentists, 1 ophthalmologist and 4 nurses.
Smile is a Foundation moves dentists and opticians to rural areas where people do not have access to these medical specialties through mobile dental clinics. The work of our volunteer doctors, which is carried out in schools, small clinics and camps, is crucial because they promote oral health with prevention, dental care and by organizing training courses for the local health services staff.
This project was launched in year 2015 thanks to Pablo Baciero (Opticalia Oca and Camino Viejo). Patients from the same area that the dental project covers were treated. Vision problems, specially myopia, presbyopia, cataracts and glaucoma received medical care. Once patients’ eyes were tested, their new glasses and sunglasses were provided.
A challenge for us in the medium-to-long term is to build water wells, locations of primary care and infrastructure for educational and cultural development so as to improve the living conditions of local populations. We want to make improvements in terms of sanitation, waste disposal and preventing the spread of any infectious diseases arising from lack of resources.
Outside the African country, we want to start studying new projects in different areas and specialties, without forgetting the needs of our immediate environment. We we will start a new dental project aimed at the population sector with greater economic and social difficulties.
Special mention for the companies that collaborate with supplies as Inibsa Dental or the company Imvelo Safari Lodges, which make possible the logictic management, relocating the doctors into the different towns and hoffering them housing, as well as organizing the assembly of the clinical camps and providin all the material needed to attend the patients. In the optic project collaborated Italian company De Rigo; German, Zeiss and Spanish Briot as well as private contributions.
How can you collaborate? Contact us and we will give you information about how you can support Smile is a Foundation.

I don't get much time to send stuff off as a submission for publication, so it's always nice when something I did get time to submt is published.
and is really nice looking with some good stuff. You can copy and paste the url or go to the link I'll set up before this goes to post.
From friends of "Here and Now"
And a few things from me.
Oh, other good stuff I almost forgot. I sold a couple of my photos at the Starbucks where I had them hanging, That's a first - a cool thing for me, especially since the store didn't allow any hint that the photos were for sale.
We will start this week with a poem by Carol Ann Duffy, from her book The World's Wife, published by Faber and Faber Inc. in 1999. The book looks at the "great men" of history and literature though the eyes of their spouse.
Duffy, a British poet, playwright and freelance writer, was born in Glasgow in 1955. At age sixteen, she embarked on a relationship with the thirty-nine year old poet Adrian Henri. The poem Little Red Cap from her book The World's Wife is commonly thought to be about their relationship.
She was a poetry critic for The Guardian from 1988 to 1989, and is the former editor of the poetry magazine Ambit. She is currently Professor of Contemporary Poetry and Creative Director of the Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University and is on the judging panel for the Manchester Poetry Prize.
Duffy was almost appointed the British Poet Laureate in 1999, but lost out on the positio. It was reported that Tony Blair was worried about having a homosexual poet laureate because of how it might play in middle England.
She later claimed that she would not have accepted the laureateship anyway, saying that she had no interest in writing poetry for the type of people that would have been bothered by her appointment.
Cold, I was, like snow,like ivory.
He kissed my stone-cool lips.
He thumbed my marbled eyes.
blunt endearments, what he'd do and how.
He brought me pearls and necklaces and rings.
He called them girly things.
He ran his clammy hands along my limbs.
for inky stars, for smudgy clues.
I showed no scratch, no scrape, no scar.
My heart was ice, was glass.
His voice was gravel, hoarse.
And haven't seen him since.
till you came at last to the edge of the woods.
It was there that I first clapped eyes on the wolf.
he had! What big eyes he had! What teeth!
my first. You might ask why. Here's why. Poetry.
breath of the wolf in my ear, was the love poem.
what little girl doesn't dearly love a wolf?
which flew straight, from my hands to his open mouth.
warm beating, frantic, winged; music and blood.
the glistening, virgin white of my grandmother's bones.
I filled his old belly with stones. I stitched him up.
Out of the forest I come with my flowers, singing, all alone.
I wrote this little piece after watching the four days of the Democratic convention. I didn't watch the Republican event, my appetite for lies, slander and low humor being limited.
Next, I have two poems from that old radical Carl Sandburg. They're from the Selected Poems collection published in 1992 by Gramercy Books. These are war poems, written during the first world war.
I don't know if Sandburg is still taught; I suspect not. He is seen as outdated in his blunt, straight-talk radicalism, red hot in an age when cool counts above all.
But he is still one of my heroes.
vertising in front of the newspaper office.
tons - are shoved back and forth across the map.
The next piece is by Alex Stolis, a friend of "Here and Now" of long standing. It is from a series Alex did on the Tarot deck.
of longing as it walks out the door.
as it ripens on the horizon.
the sting of penance becomes dull.
not even a whisper to mark my path.
Stephen Dobyns was born in 1941 in New Jersey . He was educated at Shimer College, graduated from Wayne State University, and received an MFA from the University of Iowa in 1967.
He worked as a reporter for the Detroit News and has taught at various academic institutions, including Sarah Lawrence College, the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers, the University of Iowa, Syracuse University, and Boston University.
My poem for this week is from his book Pallbearers Envying the One Who Rides published by Penguin Poets in 1999.
and they dance. Why so standoffish? asks Death.
Why must you squeeze me so tight? asks Heart.
says Heart. The room is smoky and the music lout.
Heart and his new partner spin round and round.
Why not come home with me tonight? asks Death.
Sorry, says Heart, being polite, I'm here with friends.
he thinks, to cold. Death pats Heart on the bottom.
Won't you ditch your pals for me? Heart is stubborn.
but it's hidden within the folds of Death's dark cape.
The song goes on and on. The band fades from sight.
to lug him across waxy floor. Won't someone cut in?
swells to a calypso beat. Heart no longer feels his feet.
something about not having to drive a delivery truck.
your pardon, says Heart, but Morgan's not my name.
The band falls silent; the vapors begin to disappear.
that our turn comes later. Maybe a tango or milonga.
Thanks at least for a taste of pleasures yet to come.
some are deep in thought. Heart returns to his seat.
How capricious are the bonds that link us to our fate.
But then a dance begins, a tango. Heart will sit it out.
This is a poem I wrote last week. It was the end of a very long and hard day and I was dead tired and trying to get to sleep early. The piece started to unreel in my head and I had to get up and finish it before sleep would come.
I have a poem now by Alice Walker from her book Once: Poems by Alice Walker, published in 1968 by Harvest/HBJ. This was her first published poetry collection.
Walker was born in 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth child of sharecroppers.
After high school, Walker went to Spelman College in Atlanta on full scholarship in 1961 and later transferred up north to Sarah Lawrence College near New York City, graduating in 1965. Continuing the activism that she participated in during her college years, Walker returned to the South where she became involved with voter registration drives, campaigns for welfare rights, and children's programs in Mississippi.
Walker's first book of poetry was written while she was still a senior at Sarah Lawrence. She took a brief sabbatical from writing when she was in Mississippi working in the civil rights movement, then resumed her writing career when she joined Ms. magazine as an editor before moving to northern California in the late 1970s.
In 1982, Walker published The Color Purple, her best known work. She has written several other novels since and has published a number of collections of short stories, poetry, and other work.
"What is America to me?"
And nobody wants to see.
Here's a nice summery poem by our friend Jane Roken that I want to use before summer slips away.
Jane is Norwegian, living in Denmark, on the interface between the hedgerows and the barley fields. She has been writing poetry, on and off, since she was five, starting under the combined inspiration of the Salvation Army and Calypso music. Now sixty, she has been working in many different trades, but says she has not yet decided what she wants to be when she grows up.
nuzzles the nape of your neck.
My next poems are by Jack Kerouac, from his book Mexico City Blues (242 Choruses), a Grove Press reprint from the book originally published in 1959.
I can't think of anything to say about Kerouac that anyone reading these poem isn't likely to already know.
It's a very painful death.
It's fair to say that for the past couple of years, my writing has been mostly about recapturing memory, something I'm not all that happy about, because it's hard for me to see how anyone else could be interested.
But then, I'm not into second-guessing myself. This is what I'm doing now, and, for better or worse, its keeping me entertained, so I guess I'll keep doing it until I do something else.
I just hope I'm bringing a couple of you along with me.
Now, for something more than a little different, a poem by Herman Melville from Good Poems for Hard Times collected by Garrison Keillor.
A couple of weeks ago I used a couple of poems from Poets Against the War, both website and book. This Melville piece would have made the book, no doubt.
A crutch by his saddle just slants in view.
Yet he guides his strong steed - how coldly, too.
But to him - there comes alloy.
Ah heaven - what truth to him.
Now, here's a poem by Lois P. Jones, a friend of "Here and Now."
Lois has been published in The California Quarterly, Kyoto Journal, Prism Review and others as well as anthologies, ezines and internationally in Argentina and Japan. She co-edited A Chaos of Angels (Word Walker Press, 2007) with Alice Pero as well as completed work on a documentary of Argentina's wine industry. She is the recipient of IBPC's first prize honor for February 2008. You can find her as co-host at Monday's monthly poetry reading in Pacific Palisades, California and hear her as a frequent guest host on 90.7 KPFK's Poet's Cafe. She is the Associate Poetry Editor of Kyoto Journal.
This week she presents us with a found poem based on the PBS documentary, The Lobotomist. In presenting this to us, she explains that Lobotomy, in a modified form, is still done in rare cases at hospitals around the world, and that Thorazine, one of the first drugs administered after the use of lobotomy tapered off was touted as the first "chemical lobotomy" and the precursor to today's psychotropics.
Twelve-year-old Howard Dully is evasive and objects to going to bed.
He does a good deal of daydreaming.
He turns the room lights on when there's sunlight outside.
He hates to wash and puts on a sweater on the hottest days.
He goes without an undershirt on chilly ones.
I would not wish Howard on anybody.
Mrs. Dully said it was up to her husband.
I would have to talk to him and make it stick.
After mother died, step-mother said I was unruly, defiant.
The doctor said that I was getting tests.
And I was not to now what they were doing.
I didn't know until three weeks afterward.
I don't remember that time after I woke up.
What had I had done to deserve this?
Something was taken from me.
One tap of my unsterilized ice picks.
One tap under the violet petals of your lids.
Here the skull is thin enough to transmit light.
It can be perforated easily with a sharp instrument.
The instrument upon removal appears clear and shiny.
Mental illness is a defect somewhere in the brain.
I will be the one to find it.
Ramon Lopez Velarde left few poems behind at his death in 1921, but during his life his work had been recognized to the point where he was considered Mexico's "national poet." Born in Jerez, Zacatecas in 1888, Velarde retained his love of rural Mexico, wrote frequently of that life and became known as the "poet of the provinces."
My poem for today is from Song of the Heart, Selected Verse, a collection of his work published by The University of Texas Press in 1995. It is a bilingual book, in Spanish with English translations by Margaret Sayers Peden.
I wrote this the other night after a near-encounter at one of my coffee shops.
Florence Anthony, born in 1947 in Albany, Texas, legally changed her name to Ai, which means "love" in Japanese.
Describing herself as Japanese, Choctaw-Chickasaw, Black, Irish, Southern Cheyenne, and Comanche, Ai grew up in Tucson, Las Vegas and San Francisco. She majored in Japanese at the University of Arizona and immersed herself in Buddhism.
Ai holds an M.F.A. from the University of California at Irvine and currently teaches at Oklahoma State University at Stillwater.
She is the author of Dread (2003), Vice (1999), which won the National Book Award for Poetry, Greed (1993), Fate (1991), Sin (1986), which won an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation Killing Floor (1979), which was the 1978 Lamont Poetry Award of the Academy of American Poets, and Cruelty (1973).
She has received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and various universities, and has been a frequent reader-performer of her work.
This poem is from her 1999 book, Vice.
I didn't say mass this morning.
wrapped around my neck like a noose.
Father, I can't sleep. I miss my mother.
the crucifix, the bare white walls.
she threw the covers back.
Her cotton grown was wedged above her thighs.
I prayed for deliverance, but none came.
Later, I broke my rosary.
in a kind of ecstasy.
and ate it smeared across a slice of bread.
She said, Eat, Emilio, eat.
so why not meet the devil instead?
He at least has time for people.
I lay my hand on the bell.
there can be no separateness.
barely covered by her drawers.
and I laid her down.
I bent her legs this way and that.
to smell "Our Lady's Rose"
and finally, I wanted to eat them.
my mouth bled, but I didn't stop.
because I knew what it meant.
and you're a stranger to me.
ringing in the empty sky.
but with my perfect soul.
I lean from the bell tower.
smoke is beginning to gray the sky.
I'm the hard, black bread on the water.
Lord, come walk with me.
Here's a poem from our very good friend from Hawaii Alice Folkart.
Known in Hawaii for her blossoming hula talent, she is equally well known by readers of "Here and Now" as a terrific poet. There's something special about this poem, in addition to being especially good, but I'll let you figure it out. I'll admit that I was so into the poem as I read it that I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out to me. That's good!
Kite flyers can see all, fields and felons.
Leaping lizards keep in shape.
Must you just stare at me like that?
No one can do anything for you.
Open your eyes instead of your mouth.
quit quarreling with every other guy.
Remember that day when we ran away?
Take your medicine and lump it.
Undulate in some kind of dance.
Victory can be yours, if you have enough quarters.
Zoom in and take a closer look.
Born in New York City in 1921, Richard Wilbur was the second named Poet Laureate of the United States (after Robert Penn Warren) and two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He graduated from Amherst College in 1942 and then served in the United States Army from 1943 until 1945 during World War II. After the Army and graduate school at Harvard University, Wilbur taught at Wesleyan University for two decades and at Smith College for another decade.
The next poem is from Wilbur's book Richard Wilbur, Collected Poems 1943-2004, published Harcourt in 2004.
To finish off the week, here's a little character thing I did several weeks ago. I don't think I've used it here since I wrote it.
That's it for this week. Time to saddle up and move on. Until next week, remember, all the material presented on this blog remains the property of its creators. The blog itself was produced by and is the property of me...allen itz.
How did you do the pictures this week?
Allen an excellent issue. Love Jane's Strawberry's, your Sandra Bullock and Wet Earth. Thanks for having me over for dinner.

VOTE for the genre for the next IWSG Anthology!
JULY QUESTION: What's the best thing someone has ever said about your writing?
When I published Hurricane Crimes with The Wild Rose Press, I had never received praise for my writing. To promote Hurricane Crimes, I created my first character interview for a blog. After the post went live, I got an email from the host telling me it was the best character interview she ever had, and she was emailing my editor to tell her about it.
I didn't think my editor would go to it because I know how busy she is, but she did. And she left this comment: "I know I may be her editor, but I loved Hurricane Crimes and really enjoyed the journey."
Facebook Ad: I paid for my first Facebook ad. My budget was $11 daily for two days. My target audience was readers in Florida.
Paid Tweet: Right after my FB ad ended, I attempted a $10 paid tweet. Afterward I found out you pay per link clicks. So at $5 per click, my ad ended when two people clicked the link!
Giveaway: My giveaway for a $25 gift card ended.
OVERALL: I will definitely do different giveaways in the future, and I'll also try different FB ads. But I won't be doing a paid tweet!
Editors are just the people you certainly needs to get praaise from. Great post Chrys.
Thanks for sharing the results on your promo efforts. Interesting to learn about the paid tweets.
I was a bit surprised about how the paid tweets went, at least for me. Doesn't seem to be worth it.
Loved the information about the promo efforts. I found the same with paid tweets, not useful at all!
You are the best at the character interviews, Chrys, and your editor was spot on! Congratulations for all your success, it is much deserved!
That's wonderful your editor left a compliment.
Facebook ads have to be targeted just right to have much of any effect at all.
Yes, the target I chose did pretty good for my first paid tweets.
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed 'Hurricane Crimes'. All the while she was walking out to that car in the beginning I was wondering what I would do in the same situation.
Nice one. I love it when my editors praise something - it means a great deal from them.
Thanks for sharing your promo efforts. And good luck with the hospital volunteer training!
That's a lovely message from your editor. I think it makes their job easier if they actually like the story. Good luck with your hospital training. I'm sure you'll be great!!
I know it makes my job easier. ;) Thank you, Nicola. I'm enjoying volunteering.
I didn't even know you could do paid tweets :) Good efforts trying to find the best way to promote yourself. How fun to be a hospital volunteer too!
Yes, you sure can. :) Thank you, Betty!
That comment/praise from your editor is exactly sweet. A hospital volunteer is a noble thing. Good luck. Hope you can share some of your experiences later.
That is great to hear indeed for feedback.
Facebook ads I tried once, meh for me.Pfft to paid tweets after seeing that.
Pfft to paid tweets is right!
Wow, your editor came and left a comment. That is awesome!
Chrys, you are doing a great job helping the IWSG. You are an inspiration and I love reading you blog posts.
When your editor says something like that in public, that's awesome.
Thanks for the report on what worked for you ad wise. I always appreciate hearing that stuff.
Your editor really doesn't do compliments? My content editor is brutal, but he still tells me when he likes something. My line/copy editor cracks me up with her comments, making me feel like a rock star about my writing. I'm so, so grateful for her.
No, she doesn't. She just tells me what needs fixing. Or she'll ask a question. Which is why I always like to point out what I like while I edit for someone.
That's awesome that you have a line editor like that.
Woot woot, Chrys! A compliment hard-earned is much better than the ones that come frequently. Good job!
That's a wonderful compliment from your editor, Chrys. I'm in the middle of the sequel, Seismic Crimes. Wow, action packed!! The best compliment I've received on my writing was from one of my beta readers. She said her husband was concerned because she was crying all the time. She explained it was the short stories she was reading. :) Evoking emotions from a reader is a huge sign that something is getting through.
Interesting results on your paid ads. I've never tried to pay for tweet ads. I've done a couple of facebook ones and garnered a significant increase in my book page followers. However, book sales don't seem to necessarily tie into these ads. Great exposure though.
That is too cute. You made a woman cry and her husband was concerned for her. I love that!
I made the same mistake with paid tweets! It's a total rip-off. Glad you had good results with your other marketing efforts.
And congrats on that character interview and your editor's reaction! That's fantastic.
I was surprised. I thought the paid tweet would've been better than the FB ad, but boy that was wrong. Thanks, Julie!
It's nice your editor made an exception and said something nice and warm. Some people are more reserved, and save their praise and softness for special occasions.
That's true, Carrie-Anne. She also tells all of her clients beforehand that her time is short, so she just gets to the point with edits.
That paid tweet method sounds like scam. Two clicks? I have clicked stuff by mistake and exed it off my browser! Nice to see that you are trying various advertising methods. Maybe try book promoting sites or Amazon next? Your editor is definitely a tough angel.
It does sound like a scam, doesn't it?
I didn't know that's how paid tweets worked. Thanks for sharing this information.
I didn't know it until I tried it. You're welcome, Susan!
Character interviews are the best and it's so cool she liked yours so much! Keep at it, Chrys!
I love character interviews. I did a few on my blog with characters of fantasy writers. They were amazing.
I really enjoy character interviews, too.
Great feedback. I bet it was nice to hear.
How nice of your editor to make a fabulous comment.
I've tried FB ads and it's hit and miss. Once I boosted ad and received over 20,000 impressions, but not much as far as sales. On an created ad I've had good luck and no luck. Tweeter the same results. I do believe these ads are still getting you noticed as an author. I can only hope!
That's wonderful about the blog owner and your editor's compliments. I really liked Hurricane Crimes too! I don't pay for ads at the moment, but I may when I get a decent number of novels to sell.
Congratulations! That is high praise.
In response to your questions, my very first piece of writing was a short story under six thousand words and yes it did get published by an online publisher out of Canada.
Interesting results on paid-promos - and good of you to share that. I made such a terrible (and expensive) mistake once that I've never gone that route again - folks either like my work or they don't. As in all of my business ventures, word of mouth is the truest and most effective form of advertising. True, it entails quite a bit of mingling with your target audience - I'm still learning - but you have it down to an art!
I actually don't do much mingling with my target audience. I will be part of a massive book event/signing next year, so I'll have a chance then.
What a great comment from your editor. Love this new feature of IWSG.
Hope the volunteering training was a success too.
That's wonderful that you're training to be a volunteer. I bet you'll make a good one. Also, thanks for the info. on Ads at Face Book and Twitter. I haven't done either. I wonder about Good Reads too.
What a lovely thing for your editor to say.
You know your work is good when your editor loves it. How great that you're training to be a hospital volunteer. Best wishes.
Chrys, I've got to get out more as I see IWSG has themes now and I must have missed the memo. Anyway, an editor is one of the writer's best friend. They offer honest feedback other people will not.
Receiving praise from those who are generally straight-to-the-point or less complimentary is a fantastic feeling! I'm also very happy that your giveaway and FB ad have paid off. I didn't know a Twitter ad was that expensive though. Well done, Chrys!
Well, Twitter ads can be affordable as mine for $10 was but for just two link clicks and it ends, it is a waste.
Wow! That's a great comment from your editor!
Even if the promo efforts don't translate into lots of sales, I think it's still a great learning curve...and insightful.
I think this was an excellent compliment since editors, I would suspect, are very picky. Good for you and good for you in becoming a hospital volunteer. What would you be doing as a volunteer?
That's awesome that you had praise from your editor! Your promo results look good, I will most likely use Facebook ads and giveaways once I get something written.
I can relate, since I've had a lot of tough editors, especially in journalism. Praise is indeed rare from editors. Congrats!
Thanks for sharing your promo efforts. I'm always interested in how well these things do. That Twitter ad was ridiculous! $5 per click? Talk about robbery!
It is robbery! I was shocked. They didn't say that before I bought the ad.
Praise from where you least expect it, from your editor too, is great, cloud nine worthy. I've thought about doing a FB and Twitter ad in the future but now I've nixed the Twitter ad idea. That was robbery.
It was robbery. I expected the ad to last, like with FB, for days.

Could not be opened because the application program that created it could not be found.
Could not find a translator extension with appropriate translators.
Make sure that the file names have the right extension for the file type (e.g. .doc for Microsoft Word files) and that you have a suffix mapping that will assign the right type/creator for the extension. That way Fetch can assign the right type/creator when it downloads the file.

The way she is playing right now, Garaway High School standout Jocelyn Troyer probably doesn’t want the annual First National Bank Junior Golf Tour to end.
After a sluggish start to the tour, Troyer has turned it on and added two more victories to her staggeringly impressive summer.
July 12 saw the tour head to Carroll Meadows Golf Course, and the tour also gave way to another pair of multiple tour tournament champions.
Strasburg senior Calvin Willis captured his second summer tour event in the boys 16-18 division by carving out a 76 at Carroll Meadows to claim a tight one-shot win over Hiland junior Bruce Yoder. Willis’ Tigers teammate Mitch Neidenthal was two shots back and tied for third with a 78 while Mike Neidenthal carded an 82. Dover’s Alex German added an 84.
Troyer, a Garaway All-Ohioan, remained red-hot, capturing her fourth consecutive tour title in the girls 16-18 division by firing off a 74. That was two shots better than runner-up Jordan Van Meter’s 76, and those two ran away from the field at Carroll Meadows.
AJ Wilkin and Garaway sophomore Rendall Weaver duked it out for the title in the boys 13-15 division with Wilkin eventually emerging the victor in a play-off. Hiland freshman Carter Mishler took third place with a 78, and the next closest score to that trio was an 86.
On July 19 the tour took a turn at Oak Shadows Golf Course, where the players had to tackle a difficult track.
In the boys 16-18 division, Carrollton’s Christian Barto took care of business handily in this one, firing a superb 74 to claim the title. Yoder continued his incredible pace of play by again claiming second with a 76. Garaway sophomore Zehnder Gibson took home third place with a 79 while Fairless’ Jordan DeLillo continued a stretch of strong and consistent play by taking fifth with an 82.
Mishler would finally get a win by firing a 75 to claim the crown in the boys 13-15 division. Weaver’s 79 tied Hiland freshman Brookston Hummel for third place along with Carter Begue while Conner Ritter grabbed second with a 78.
This time it took a play-off, but Jocelyn Troyer was able to fend off Kiley Dyer to score her fifth straight First National Tour title. Both players shot 80 while Maria Stufflebean was a shot back at 81.
Mikayla Weaver of Garaway shot a 49, making her the lone player in the girls 13-15 division to break 50.
The First National Bank Junior Golf Tour will finish up its eight-tournament slate with a Thursday, July 26 showdown at Wilkshire Hills Golf Course in Bolivar.

LIVE CHAT SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY AT 11:00 A.M.
For this week, we have the draft less than a week away. Colts GM Ryan Grigson had his pre-draft press conference on Thursday and he covered a ton of areas during his 30-minute meeting with the media. What will the Colts do at No. 24?
How about the release of the 2013 NFL Schedule? What do you think of the Colts schedule? How about Peyton Manning returning to Indianapolis on Oct. 20?
We will concentrate on these two topics but whatever questions you have, I will try and address in the course of an hour.
Last week’s chat log is linked here.
I think we should take a DB. What’s your opinion?
I think weshould pick up a better running back in the draft?
Wow! Right off the bat we get to see how DHB is going to perform. Game #1 is against the team that gave him up.
Will he show US they were right or pay ’em back?
Personally I think they were right, I hope he proves me wrong.

Centre for Pakistan and Gulf Studies » ‘Turkish & Greek Cypriots: Is their separation Permanent?
‘Turkish & Greek Cypriots: Is their separation Permanent?
Kenan Aatakol is a Turkish Cypriot and the author of the book “Turkish & Greek Cypriots: Is Their Separation Permanent”. The first edition of the book was published in March 2003; it is now fully edited and has been updated for the final time. The first edition presented a long, complicated but nevertheless interesting history of the island of Cyprus. It describes the time when Greek Cypriots started instigating violent conflicts with the aim of destroying the Turkish Cypriots presence in Cyprus and uniting the island with Greece. This phenomenon was born from the stubbornness and obsession of the people, and resulted in the separation of these two peoples of Cyprus. Aatakol discloses in his book that the people of this region are ethnically, culturally and religiously opposed, but have lived together peacefully over the period of 300 years on this island. He narrates his personal experiences as an eyewitness to many of the events and tragedies that took place during this period, from behind the closed doors of the government office to the destruction of republic partnerships. Furthermore, the book puts forward the reasons for the separation of the inhabitants of this beautiful island and an insight into the Cyprus conflict that has been unresolved for the past 39 years.
The updated version of the book gives a clear picture of the political situation and the state of negotiations between the two populaces, with all material data up until 2011. This reveals that nothing significant has been achieved during the tenure of eight years and that political aggressiveness will not open the doors to any positive development. The two sides are still too far apart from each other.
Unfortunately, one of the key reasons for the separation of the two peoples is “the enosis obsession” that started in the early nineteenth century and is still continuing, albeit under different pretenses. This essentially meant a movement of various Greek communities that live outside Greece to unite the region with the Cyprus. In other words, completion of the union of Greece with Cyprus that began in mid 1950’s. The beginning of British rule during this same time period on the island destroyed the tranquility of Turkish and Greek coexistence, a condition that was further strengthened by the imposition of various punishments against the people involved in the uprising in Greece and Turkey. Greek Cypriots were not fighting the British for independence but for this enosis campaign.
The separation of the Turkish and Greek Cypriots first occurred when more than 234 mixed villages disappeared from the island about 125 years ago. In December 1963, Turkish Cypriots were pushed out of the Government and compelled to live in enclaves and ghettos on three percent of the land for eleven years; this was the real moment of separation for them. These Turkish Cypriots, who found themselves Stateless in one night and were threatened by the State that was supposed to protect them, had to form their own administrations and govern themselves.
The author claimed that since 1968, Turkish and Greek Cypriots have been negotiating on and off to resolve the so-called ‘Cyprus Problem’ without any success. Greek Cypriot regime, being an illegitimate and unconstitutional representation, has become the main reason for the fruitless nature of these dialogues. Despite these facts, the third parties continue to intervene for the betterment of the Greek Cypriots.
He further argued that the gashes of past have changed the future of this little island drastically and are remain fresh in the minds and hearts of many. The two peoples have now been living separately under their own administrations since 1963, and each side is holding tightly to its own state. The last four generations in Cyprus have been living with the unresolved ‘Cyprus problem’ overshadowing their lives. This issue can still be resolved however, if the existing realities in Cyprus and their roots are properly diagnosed. The separation of the Turkish and Greek Cypriots is irreversible now. It took over a 100 years to excite the Greek and Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus to separate. As for now, these people need to find ways to coexist once again in a peaceful manner, but as separate, distinct identities, such that their good relations may become as a model for respectful coexistence for the whole region.
In my point of view, the writer is much concerned about the state of the crisis on the island. While it is true that the separation is irreversible, it cannot be ignored that this separation brings instability in the political as well in their social structures. The writer is keen to promote peace and stability of life for both sides, and claims the people are similarly inclined. He is convinced that they are waiting for any positive step from all these discussions bring held. Both sides have to utilize any and all opportunities that will enable the flow of good relations at every level, which will eventually result in the betterment of their own lives as well as the region as a whole.

Just when you think we’ve seen everything the zombie genre has to offer, another worthwhile adventure lurches forth. Deadlight mixes Shadow Complex’s impressive 2.5D visuals, Limbo’s rewarding platforming puzzles, and The Walking Dead’s grim atmosphere. The resulting cocktail is potent. Deadlight’s side-scrolling action lets players dispatch and evade zombies in new, interesting ways. The game struggles with storytelling issues along the way, but emerges as a fresh take on the staling zombie concept.
Deadlight’s storytelling is its biggest flaw. Randall Wayne is searching for his family after a zombie outbreak hits Seattle. Players explore Randall’s fragile psyche through a few flashbacks and some heavy-handed monologues. Cheap-looking graphic novel cutscenes attempt to stitch the narrative together with flimsy characters and voice acting, but fail. The predictable twist and whimpering conclusion are complete let-downs. Not even the scattered pages of Randall’s long-winded, meandering diary are enough to give this zombie infestation deeper context.
Despite Randall’s tenuous motivations, working through a ravaged Seattle and its suburbs in a 2.5D space is a fascinating experience. Deadlight’s bleak art style and detailed visuals increase suspense. The foreground is heavily shadowed at times, giving Randall and his surroundings a dreary, Limbo-like silhouetted look. Rooms behind locked doors are covered in an obscuring blackness, keeping their contents a mystery.
Randall can do the basics like sprint, leap from ledges, and push boxes to progress between areas on his linear quest. He can also whistle to attract zombies. Standing on the opposite side of a pit from a pack of zombies, taunting them, then watching them fall to their doom is a sadistic joy. Other improvisational highlights include pushing a precariously parked car off a ledge onto a pack of undead, and hanging off a third story window while zombies fling themselves outside like lemmings. I enjoy seeing zombies wander the ruined streets in the background, then shamble towards the foreground. Juking zombies and navigating the basic environmental puzzles is the core of the game, and never gets old.
Zombies aren’t always the main obstacles. Sometimes they simply harass you while you deduce a route through the simple puzzles. These puzzles rarely require you to do more than flip a switch or push a box to reach a ledge, but occasionally you have more interesting tasks, like knocking down a water reserve to put out a raging fire. The path to your goal is rarely challenging and the lack of a death penalty takes the sting out of failure. It may be a cakewalk at times, but enduring a side-scrolling zombie apocalypse is fresh and fun.
Most of the game is spent leaping across ledges and studying the surroundings to progress, but sometimes you just get cornered. Zombies are physical barriers, and you can’t simply run through them on the 2D plane. No matter how proficient I became wielding Randall’s axe, two or three zombies could routinely take me down if I tried attacking them all at once. Randall’s limited stamina meter holds players back from relentlessly wailing on the undead. I had less trouble once I started maiming zombies and leaving them behind. A select number of firearms allow you to take out small packs by aiming with the right analog stick, but ammo is scarce. Sections late in the game toss players extra ammunition for some brief empowerment, but this is the exception to the rule.
Creating a compelling zombie game in a generation with too many of them is a hard task. Tequila Works manages to do this while successfully merging it with the unlikely action-platforming genre. The lame narrative and lack of consistent challenge can’t overshadow the fun I had with Deadlight. I’m crossing my fingers for a sequel.
Deadlight mixes Shadow Complex’s impressive 2.5D visuals, Limbo’s rewarding platforming puzzles, and The Walking Dead’s grim atmosphere. The resulting cocktail is potent.

“If you are fat, how do you teach patients?” asks nurse Rajaletchumi Raja Singam. Discriminatory words like hers are not uncommon. In fact, subtle and invidious discrimination against people who are overweight happens at all levels of society, and they ruin people’s lives.
Professor Linda Bacon, who is a specialist in food and sustainability and an advocate for Health for Every Size movement, says that research supports that you can be both healthy and overweight.
In her book “Health at Every Size”, she says, "No obesity myth is more potent than the one that says obesity kills. It gives us permission to call our fear of fat a health concern, rather than naming it as the cultural oppression it is. That 'obesity kills' has been the backbone of the [U.S] federal public health campaign. Yet that is not supported by evidence examined by federal employees. Their research found that 'even severe obesity failed to show up as a statistically significant mortality risk' and suggested that overweight may actually be protective...The most comprehensive review, for instance, pooled data from 26 studies and concluded that overweight individuals were living slightly longer than those of normal weight."
Although the etymology of the word ‘obese’ means, “that has eaten itself fat”, that is not the truth; for people who are in the ‘obese’ category very often do not eat any differently from people in the ‘normal’ category.
In a culture where people are pre-occupied with food and weight and with the constant message going out (even from well meaning healthcare professionals) that you need to be trim to be fit, instead of emphasising on being healthy, there is a lot of bashing going on, right from the schools to the places of work.
Even the chief executive of Alexandra Health Group (the healthcare group which manages Alexandra Hospital and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital) Mr Liak Teng Lit, equated being trim to being healthy when he recently said that “(If you are overweight) you are going to fall sick”.
He says that he will use ‘weight’ as a key performance indicator (KPI) for the staff in the hospitals managed by him and that overweight staff will not be promoted.
This KPI adds further stress to the staff in the hospital (many of whom are women) who juggle shift work, family commitments and societal pressures.
I asked Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) if they had a view on the KPI set by Alexandra Health Group for their staff’s promotion. AWARE responded that in its view, this practice of the health-group is clearly discriminatory and unacceptable.
Ms Lim further asserted that the health-group have to show as a matter of fact that weight and body-shape generally affects work performance or poses a health-risk to the individual and their families, if the heslth-group insist on using body weight of staffs as a KPI.
“If so, are the hospitals applying similar considerations to individuals with other types of health risks such as smoking or who suffer from insomnia?” she asks.
“What are the job specifications of hospital staff?” she asks. “Is it to promote healthy living or to take care of sick patients when they check in? Surely, what a patient is looking for is caring and competent staff, be they fat, thin or otherwise”, she adds.
‘Being trim equals being fit’ is a cultural idea that has been repeated so many times and has spread so swiftly that it has become part of our belief system. We are led to belief so strongly that being fat is killing us that we lose our open-mindedness and we see everything only through this lens.
The fact is, there are plenty of thin people who are making very bad health choices and don’t gain weight, as their bodies are genetically predisposed another way.
It is simply not true that everyone who is overweight has poor lifestyle habits.

Finding Tai Chi Lessons in Maidstone: These days it's becoming more and more popular to take part in interests and hobbies which improve our health and wellness both physical and mental. And one can find loads of opportunities in existence for all those eager to boost their fitness and have a bit of fun while they're doing it. Possibly in past times you've tried out rowing machines or jogging and not enjoyed it all that much. Have you ever thought about doing something totally different, perhaps a martial art like Tai Chi for instance?
Just How The Martial Art Form Of Tai Chi Can Assist You: A martial art form that has been around for a long period, but doesn't appear to be a martial art is Tai Chi. The Chinese have been employing the art of tai chi for years and years so as to improve the energy's flow within the body. It is a martial art form and an exercise, which has a big focus on proper form. Every single movement must be felt, and that is why it should be practiced in a slow and gentle manner. Flexibility, strength and stamina can be enhanced with Tai Chi though there is minimal impact on the body.
There is a link between the body and the mind, and Tai Chi teaches to move the entire body as a whole, which helps with stability and dexterity. If someone is experiencing rigid joints, this technique can help. Tai Chi is considered a martial art form but it does not teach self-defence in the least. The chief purpose is to boost the circulation of one's energy throughout the body. Those people who are skilled in Tai Chi firmly believe the exercises will help avoid disease within the body.
As you practice, your body will be soft and stress-free. It seems like you're a puppet with your joints being guided by your head. It is crucial that you continue to be focused entirely on the movements and to focus the energy going through your body. The energy will circulate through your body, provided that you continue to be relaxed and focused. You'll be frequently moving, even while being soft and calm, as the energy never stops moving through your body. These movements do not require a lot of energy for you to carry out. While you are using your chi, you feel that you are weightless with each movement.
Tai Chi practitioners are taught to use their opponent's own energy to get the better of them in combat. Very little strength is required as long as the Tai Chi stylist remains relaxed and focused. The challenger will tire himself out, while getting weak, after which the stylist will attack. The stylist should easily kill their adversary since they are too weakened to offer any sort of resistance. Tai Chi is an extremely old martial art but it is very difficult to find anybody practicing it today. It is hard to locate a school that teaches it like with Tiger Claw and Ninjutsu.
You could find out a good deal about yourself, when you participate in Tai Chi. You could learn a great deal about your internal energy and spiritual well being. If there is a place in your city that gives classes in Tai Chi, then you should seriously consider learning it.
Tai Chi - Studying It as a Martial Art Form: In general people see tai chi mostly as a form of exercise that's undertaken rather slowly or as a sort of meditation. Although it can be these things, it's also a standard martial art form. The original name of the art, Tai Chi Chuan, can be interpreted as "supreme ultimate fist". It demonstrates the original exponents of Tai Chi looked at it as a martial art as opposed to a type of exercise or meditation.
One of the reasons why individuals don't acknowledge tai chi as a martial art is because it's very slow moving. Other fighting styles including karate and kung fu have quick and forceful movements. Tai chi, however, is done in what seems to be slow motion. This doesn't mean, however, that the same movements cannot also be performed quickly. But by executing it gradually, you need to be more controlled in your movements hence being more exact. You can actually practice tai chi at many speeds but to build up stability and control, you will need to do it gradually.
Push hands is one of several classic tai chi techniques. This involves two people pushing against each other, trying to force their opponent off balance. You can even compete in push hand competitions which are like the sparring tournaments in karate. In tai chi push hands, your goal is to beat your opponent with as little force as is possible. By using the weight and strength of the opposition and not yourself, you make an attempt to take them off balance. It requires lots of practice but once learned, you can be considered an effective martial artist. If you want to learn this method, you must find an experienced coach or a tai chi school that teaches it. Just doing the Tai Chi form will not be enough to teach you the martial arts uses.
In case you are considering learning tai chi as a martial art style, then you should find a school or instructor that has this focus. Practicing tai chi form strictly as an exercise is excellent for your overall health and can greatly reduce stress however you won't really master your martial art skills. By learning the tai chi form, you'll have a good foundation of the martial art style but you'll not know how to apply it effectively in a competition or as a method of self defense. If you don't live near a qualified Tai Chi instructor with a martial arts background, you could find quite a few DVDs, books and sites that should set you on the right path.
Karate is regarded as an external martial art form but tai chi is known as an internal martial art style. Tai chi isn't just push hands since they also utilize swords and other types of traditional Chinese weapons. Tai chi is a very good form of exercise but it is also an excellent form of martial art.
Tai Chi Weapons: The weapons forms are normally shorter and faster than the empty palm forms and can include the use of weapons like: podao, lasso, ji, sanjiegun, sheng biao, gun, whip, dao, tieshan, cane, feng huo lun, jian, qiang and dadao.
You should be able to find Tai Chi for insomnia, Tai Chi sessions for better mobility, Tai Chi exercises for migranes, Tai Chi sessions for improved balance, Tai Chi courses for arthritis, one to one Tai Chi tuition, Tai Chi lessons for children, Tai Chi sessions for osteoporosis, Tai Chi sessions for improved concentration, Tai Chi lessons for meditation, Tai Chi exercises for dementia, Tai Chi courses for multiple sclerosis, Tai Chi exercises for digestion, Tai Chi sessions for energy, Tai Chi sessions for vertigo and other Tai Chi related stuff in Maidstone, Kent.

This gem of an app provides all-in-one GPS guidance through a downloadable map system, which means that it’ll work just as well even when used offline. It comes armed with voice-guided navigation, as well as the ability to calculate optimum routes according to vehicle size, weight and load type. Designed specifically with truck drivers in mind, this app functions like a virtual co-pilot that can help you avoid traffic jams and allow you to reach your destination as quickly as possible.
This app was created with the ultimate goal of providing truck drivers with everything they need while on the road. Among other things, Trucker Path Pro can tell you where to go if you’re looking to get some rest and what gas stations are around if you’re in need of a refuel. You can also search Wal-Mart shops and weight stations by location and even compare diesel prices to find the best deal in your vicinity.
Staying up-to-date with the latest weather forecasts isn’t a hobby for truck drivers, it’s a necessity. There is nothing worse than being stuck in the mud for hours at an end or having to plow yourself through snowfall you didn’t see coming. So be sure to install the official app of the Weather Channel and check it regularly before heading out on your trips. Aside from general predictions about weather, the latest versions also offer pollen alerts and other specific warnings by city or zip code. You can save up to ten locations and cycle through them easily if your routes follow a similar pattern. Whatever you do, remember that weather can be a fickle mistress, and it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Being able to stay in touch with friends and family is something that’s always on most truck driver’s minds. Luckily, one of the world’s most famous and highly regarded software programs is now available on mobile devices as well. Skype lets you make free calls to any other Skype user worldwide, but it can also be used to call people through regular means at relatively affordable rates. What’s more, Skype also allows you to video chat with them instead of just hearing their voice, a massive plus for people who want to see their children and spouses while on the road.
It’s no secret that driving a truck also means paying attention to a fairly complex set of rules that govern everything from the hours of rest you need to get every day to the maximum speed limits you have to adhere to. By using this app you’ll be able to record electronic logs showing your service time, travel speed and other driver productivity data. All these numbers will greatly aid in helping you comply with all the rules and regulations of the trade, while also ensuring maximum transportation efficiency and cost reduction over the long run.
That just about wraps up our quick countdown of the five hottest apps for truck drivers currently available on the market. Of course, in order to run a smartphone app, you’ll first need to get an actual smartphone if you don’t have one already. Luckily, nowadays you can make a quick purchase online and have it delivered right to your doorstep with zero hassle and no extra costs. One thing’s for certain: with so many possibilities at their fingertips, the life of a truck driver has now become that much more enjoyable and appealing for future generations. Progress is progress, any way you call it.

Sheikh Mohammed's hard line mirrored that of a top Emirati diplomat who told the AP on Wednesday that the United Arab Emirates believes "there's nothing to negotiate" with Qatar.
Eritrea on Friday declined a rewquest by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to cut diplomatic ties with Qatar.
Shamsi added that the UAE had taken decisive action against Qatar as a result of "its hostile and irresponsible policy against the UAE and a number of Gulf and Arab states".
Qatar denies that it backs extremist groups, and says the allegations are politically motivated and meant to tarnish the country's image.
On June 5, the countries cut diplomatic ties to Qatar and ordered all Qataris out within 14 days.
Qatar, however, is not entirely without support.
Qatar Petroleum (QP) said on Saturday that it was conducting "business as usual" throughout its upstream, midstream and downstream operations, despite rising diplomatic tensions with its Gulf neighbours. He was speaking as his Bahraini counterpart met with Turkey's president in Ankara. "We are now buying Turkish products", he said.
- Russia's foreign minister has told his counterpart from Qatar that Moscow will make efforts to try to resolve the escalating crisis between Qatar and several Arab countries.
Trump too had offered possible mediation earlier last week. Saudi and UAE troops also helped Bahrain brutally squash its 2011 popular uprising.
The contract filed by Ashcroft's firm was signed by Ahmad al-Hammadi, the secretary-general of Qatar's Foreign Ministry.
Frictions had already emerged over their support for assorted militant groups which have occasionally turned their arms against one another as they have fought for spheres of influence. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE also prohibited Qatari flights from using their airspace.
Isolation of Qatar by Saudi Arabia and its allies may lead to a new war in the Persian Gulf.
At the end of May 2017, Egypt blocked 21 websites, including Aljazeera.net, claiming that they had content "supporting terrorism and extremism as well as publishing lies". Trump had frankly declared during his electoral campaign, and after arriving at the White House, that the Gulf States, enjoying U.S. protection, have to pay money for it.
Qatar, for its part, has strenuously denied the accusations, describing the moves to diplomatically isolate it as "unjustified". "Those residents have the complete freedom in staying in the state of Qatar in accordance with the laws and regulations adopted by the state".
Saudi Arabia and allies including the UAE and Bahrain cut diplomatic ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting extremism.
It's just the way I play". "There were a couple of games when everything went my way and I was ready to fight for every point". With nothing expected of the unseeded player, Ostapenko was able to play loose, and it showed during her numerous comebacks.
Unfortunately, the same deal has not been shared in the United Kingdom , meaning that fans are unlikely to get the same discount. Anyone who is interested in watching non-stop coverage of this year's E3 can do so by watching Twitch's broadcast of the event.
Details of the deal will be discussed by May's cabinet which is scheduled to meet at 10 Downing Street on Monday morning. Some say her failure means the government must now take a more flexible approach to the divorce.
Qatar has called the accusations baseless and have described the measures as a "siege" harmful to ordinary people there. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain may loosen curbs on humanitarian cases of Qatari families with marital ties to both countries.
The company is now looking for a chief financial officer and a chief operating officer as it considers an initial public offering. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick may soon be stepping away temporarily from his duties running the beleaguered ride-hailing startup.
The general election result produced a hung Parliament , with the Conservatives winning 318 seats and Labour 261. Prime Minister Theresa May had sent Gavin Williamson, her chief whip, to Belfast to lead talks with the DUP.
The committee's top Democrat, Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, called Trump's comments, as recounted by Comey, "very disturbing". Comey's excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to entirely retaliatory", Kasowitz said.

The Rev. Frank Sierra, Jr., S.F., has been appointed assistant pastor of Our Lady of Peace church. He succeeds his brother, the Rev. John A. Sierra, who has been appointed first pastor of St. Francis' Parish, Center. Father John A. Sierra has already left here to assume his duties at Center.
The Rev. Frank Sierra, Jr. is now teaching at a high school maintained by the Order of Santa Familia in Buenos Aires. It is not known when he will arrive here, according to the Rev. Dominic J. Morera, pastor of Our Lady of Peace church.
The Rev. John A. Sierra had been assistant pastor here since the spring of 1950. He took his philosophy course in the Family Seminary in Barcelona, Spain and his theological studies in Rome where he was ordained. In Oct. 1948, he came to the Pueblo diocese as an assistant pastor in the Holy Name of Mary Parish at Del Norte, a position he filled until his transfer to Greely.
St. Francis' Parish at Center formerly was a mission of the Holy Name of Mary Parish, Del Norte. However, St. Francis has grown to such proportions in recent years that it was erected as a parish in its own right.

I know, my little boy researched getting one. He found a site that sells them!!!!!!!!
I believe you have found the solution to all of the world's problems. Maybe the President should put a couple of those little guys on the table when he meets with the House leadership. Who can be cross with baby hedgehogs in the room?
Leave it to you, Empress, to find the right words and the perfect distraction.
Whenever my girls are at the very precipice of heartbreak, when nothing in their teenage life seems like it will be good again, I always say those simple, comforting words—It's going to be alright. That phrase is like a warm blanket of hope.
And it IS going to be alright. Our forefathers' hope, determination and fighting spirit runs through our collective blood. We may not all agree on the outcome, but we will all work as one to keep America the land of hope and dreams. God bless America and God bless us all.
Now I want....no, I NEED, a baby hedgehog.
Just the pictures, and I feel better.
I want everyone to feel better.
Awwwww look at them!! I totoally agree, let's take a deep breath and move forward!
I wish I could give a baby hedgehog to everyone.
That's why I have a hedgehog in residence. When things get too too, I go play with wembley j hedgehog.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE!!!!!
You are such a beautiful person.
The fact that you want to make people feel better, that you think about why they are so upset, even when you disagree with them, is marvelous.
And I have never seen anything so cute in my entire life.
Makes me want to cuddle someone and tell them that the person who won is actually a really good person. Have you read his children's book. Heartfelt hope.
I believe in goodness and hope again, tiny hedgehogs.
O.M.G. I've always wanted one, myself and CUTE can hardly describe it!
I just could lose my mind over the cute.
Are you sure it's not a gremlin?
Lady Jennie: these are the most adorable hedgehogs you'll ever see!!!
I feel all better now! But, people, just remember the world is not going to hell in a handbasket with a hedgehog. At least, I don't think it is.
The baby hedgehog force is strong in you.
I love you oh so much...but those are not cute lol.
Cute enough that I laughed and clapped when I found them.
You are sooooo funny!!! They don't even look real (I mean, they're so cute they look like play things)! I have never seen hedgehogs in real life before.
I know!! And you should see the whole google search images page. OH so adorable.
I was already in a pretty good mood, but that just got magnified. They are so unbearably cute they make me want to break my vow not to have another pet.
So cute that I want some.
Awww I'll stare at these baby pictures at any time than seeing the fights on Facebook lol.
Anyone who is not smiling after seeing these pictures obviously has no soul.
I think we need some of those baby hedgehogs...we can save them and take pictures of them.
OHMY GARSH!! I could die from the CUTE!!!
Well, that did it. I feel better. About a lot of things, thanks to baby hedgehogs. Who'da thought?
Lol yes, baby hedgehogs to save the world!
Yes, I could totally die from that cute. Love.
Right? I could lose my mind from the cute. I want one. Monkeypox carriers be damned.
You are much cuter than the baby hedgehogs. Truth.

A month has passed since the events of the solstice and Ashael has found some peace with the Agnikant. They have given her time to heal and to begin learning the magic of Agni but the respite is coming to an end. A Zanthar attack on the home of the Agnikant sets Ashael and Iwan on a journey to bring warning to the people of KalaDene and recruit old allies if they can. But the journey will cost her dearly.
Daven and Meegrum find their plans of conquest stalled with the arrival of Cenric - Daven’s nemesis and the king’s son-in-law. Limited in their ability to feed and use magic, they must rid themselves of Cenric before turning once more to the subjugation of KalaDene, but things haven’t been the same for Meegrum since the solstice. He’s changing. Can he find a solution before Daven notices?
Can Ashael bring the people of KalaDene together and defeat the Zanthar once and for all? And can she do it without losing herself?
Ashael smiled as she scraped some heiro moss from the rock in front of her. It had been a lucky find, it didn’t usually grow as high as this in the mountains. She tucked some of the infection-fighting moss into her travel pouch and then looked around carefully, marking the location in her memory. Iwan sat on a rock opposite her, drinking from his water skin. Ashael watched the muscles move in his throat, letting her gaze wander up his neck, over the line of his jaw and to his face. She felt a deep peace just looking at him.
‘We should probably start heading back,’ she said, tucking her stone foraging knife into her belt.
Iwan stood and offered his hand, pulling her to her feet, before he stooped and lifted the hares that he had trapped that morning.
‘Will you be training with Tchalikila later?’ he asked after they had been walking for a few minutes.
Today I'm making my podcast debut on the brilliant Speculative Spaces Podcast. Check it out to hear me talk about discovery writing, The Vessel of KalaDene Series, challenging your own assumptions and much more as I chat to the lovely EM Faulds.
At the moment, my desk is set up in a corner of our living room and that is where I work. I love having a desk set up - before that I was working with the laptop on my knees or at the kitchen table and having a permanent space has been lovely. It has made me feel like my writing has a place in our lives, if that makes any sense. However, working in the living room has it's challenges.
I hope that life is treating you all well. I've had my hands full with a couple of sick kids over the festive period, soem health issues of my own and car troubles. Life likes to keep me on my toes!
Around here, the Christmas preparations have been keeping me busy. The kids have had lots of things on at school and social clubs they go to and we’ve been making decorations and baking and having a birthday party for our son who was two this month.
These people are helping to fund Ashael Falling.

This home is designed by William E. Poole, from Wilmington, North Carolina. He is a well seasoned architect who by trade has visited and studied all forms of early American architecture from Natchez, Mississippi thru and to Nantucket, Massachusetts. He is the only architect in America to be licensed to copy and interpret Colonial Williamsburg Buildings for today’s modern living advances, while being true to classical design.
This Nantucket shingle style home is reminiscent of an eighteenth century New England Coastal home that could withstand harsh winters as well as sun, sand and water year round, but architecturally practical, orderly, and pleasing to the” eye”, as they used to say.
This home is being crafted by E. T. Moore Homes, LLC which is a small family owned business that specializes in creating “one of a kind” custom homes that bring together timeless design and a multitude of reclaimed building materials, modern technology, tried and true old world technology, and lastly, a lot of hands on workmanship and attention to detail to achieve a finished product that is seldom seen in today’s super paced society. The founder, E. Taylor Moore, Jr. (who lives only four miles away) visits the project almost every day. He will work with any homeowner or personally select and, in house, manufacture all of the homes finest millwork materials. Mr. Moore has forty years experience in the building and reclaimed wood business.
All Flashing to be 16 oz. copper; custom site bent.
From Richmond: 64 East to exit 211. Go left off of ramp and follow signage 1.5 miles to Viniterra.

Here is a brief quote from my upcoming book on spiritual growth…..
It is both natural and healthy to feel excited about your personal achievements, experiences and growth, however, what you do with that excitement will reflect your level of balance and understanding. If you chose to share a personal achievement or experience with someone else, it is important to consider why you are doing it, as well as how it may make other people feel.
Presenting something which has significance or importance in your life is a act which involves honesty, intention and awareness. Honesty, as we discussed earlier, is something which requires finesse and clarity of purpose, however, awareness is the most important issue to be considered when presenting any experience. It is important to recognize how the other person or people feel about what you are telling them. If you feel they are becoming uneasy, anxious or agitated, you must recognize that you are creating an uncentering experience for them. If you feel competition, hurt feelings, fear or resistance, you must recognize that this experience is developing into a control drama. And you must recognize when your achievements make others feel less adequate or even threatened.
In order to serve a positive purpose in sharing any experience, it must be done so in a way which promotes positive polarity and as a positive experience to those you are sharing with. If this is not accomplished, then you must consider where your own balance and intentions lie.
The key is to share information in a form and at a rate which can be absorbed by the listener. You must learn to be aware of the listeners balance and their threshold or ability to deal with the information that you are offering. You must learn to recognize when you are triggering an issue in the listener which they may not even be aware that they have. In other words, you must be willing to stop your conversation at any moment that you feel a person is resisting what you are saying.
An overwhelming urge to express your achievements to others reflects a need for recognition and an imbalance in your ability to accept and love yourself. A person of less balance and polarity will eagerly seek out other people with whom to share their experience. Just how many people they need to tell will reflect the degree of their imbalance.
A balanced and positive person is someone who has learned that worth, acceptance and love come from within and not from the acknowledgement of others. They are able to put an achievement into perspective, pat themselves on the back and absorb the beauty of the experience without a need to express that experience to others. Telling other people is of little or no importance to the balanced person who will only consider telling another person if they are asked to do so. And even when they are asked, the balanced person will use great wisdom in how they present the experience.
It would be ideal if we all had the time to prepare the old fashioned way that didn’t require any money, but method can be very challenging in these economic times. Most people have waited too long to understand or believe what is coming for Earth and mankind, but even fewer have taken the actions that are necessary to prepare. This has created a preparation nightmare for most people as they have no plan, not enough skills or resources to implement a plan, and little understanding of what it will actually take to go through the coming events in peace and without suffering.
Even if no cosmic or geophysical events occur in the near future, the world is going to experience a series of socioeconomic events including a global financial collapse and global famine to an extreme never before experienced in human history. These two events alone are going to change everyone’s lives forever as we can no longer continue our patterns of unchecked population growth, over consumption, and a growth model based on debt. If you add even one more potential natural or man-made event, then the lives of our children and generations to come are also going to change forever.
The intent of this website is to provide information that is mostly underestimated and necessary to give people the greatest chance of success in creating a self-sustainable community. This site also includes a Community Design Simulator that provides one community design solution with a reasonable cost and that can be built in the time available, but it does cost money. Again, if people had more time, experience or took action sooner, they could just use the information about creating community and head into nature. This is no longer an option for most people as it can take years and even decades to become truly self-sustainable in an off-the-grid existence with little or no financial resources.
If you are familiar with any of the other sustainable, preparation, or bunker-style community designs out there, then you may already know that they generally charge $50,000 per adult and $25,000 per child to join these communities. Using a more practical approach, the Project TriStar design can reduce these costs significantly depending on the number of community members and the services provided by the community. We feel pleased that we have been able to provide such a solution at this most critical time, but also realize there are many with no means to participate financially in their preparation plans.
It’s important to mention that the Community Design Simulator is not yet an exact model and there are things that can be done to reduce the costs even further. One might be to construct your community facility above ground rather than below ground. This could save as much as 30% or more from the total cost and reduce development time significantly. Another might be to reduce or eliminate the purchase and storage of reconstruction materials and other none essentials. Another might be to build out some of the container features on your own rather than having them prefabricated. This option requires skills, but many people have these skills or know someone who does.
Sure, many people are struggling financially in these times, and many more have struggled their entire lives or for generations. The reality is that we can all stop struggling by learning how to take action more consciously. This doesn’t mean that someone needs to retreat into solitude in order to learn the art of manifestation. There may not be enough time to master those skills on a personal level in this lifetime. What it does mean is to start taking action and responsibility for seeking and finding other like-minded people.
As we continue moving closer to the infamous 2012, it seems appropriate to address some of the questions related to the commitments, timing, and development of the Project TriStar community.
First and foremost, Project TriStar provides the opportunity to participate in the co-creation of a self-sustainable environment that is rapidly becoming essential for the long-term existence of humanity on planet Earth. The Project TriStar community and Global Initiative are about working towards this goal with a conscious, balanced, and practical understanding of both the spiritual and physical worlds.
How we get from here to there may be one of the most important questions and appears to be of growing concern for those who believe that our lives are about to change dramatically.
As a spiritual community founded on universal and natural laws, Project TriStar understands the importance of operating in alignment with the Law of Cause and Effect, also known as the Law of Manifestation. The Law of Manifestation can be represented by three simple steps: visualization, belief, and patience. This means that every action to plan, finance, and build the community is taken with an understanding of our individual and combined experiences and universal timing.
The Project TriStar community is not being planned and developed out of haste, fear, or needs that may be the result of perceived or personal timetables. This means the timeline for the community development is defined by our combined experiences and actions and the completion date for the community will be defined by the development progress.
The Project TriStar founding members are committed to the development of this community in a harmonic and co-creative manner. Actions on behalf of the community are taken when they are deemed appropriate and with deliberate motive and intent. This means that any predictions and expectations are replaced with a common vision, awareness of the experiences that move the community forward, and a balanced understanding of how and when to take action.
For those who are interested in the Project TriStar community or creating their own community, the following information may be useful as it provides a grounded basis for what appears to be a very anxious and confusing time for many people.
Our research into these times has always revolved around a sequence of events which is often referred to as the “timeline”. Through this research, it initially appeared that there was a correlation between the timeline of future man-made and natural events with the year 2012. Through ongoing research into current events and future probabilities of both the spiritual and physical worlds, Project TriStar has come to realize the correlation of the timeline with the year 2012 is not accurate.
Our world is experiencing an increase in severity and frequency of natural disasters, weather changes, and events of a cosmic and global significance. Every day there is also increasing evidence that any possible cataclysmic events of a cosmic and geophysical nature will not occur prior to 2013. Even now, there are prominent speakers in this field who are providing new insights into the timing of these major events.
Although these insights and predictions may appear to be more realistic and in alignment with ongoing current events, it’s become increasingly important to realize there is no need to predict the date of these future events, but simply to pay attention to current events and our own inner divine guidance. In other words, as events on a global and personal level unfold, we will gain greater clarity into the timing and arrival of any cosmic and geophysical events.
The founding members of Project TriStar believe there are a number of events on the global timeline that are designed into this reality as part of our global experience and global awakening. We understand that many people may not agree with this belief and feel that the consciousness of humanity or some other higher consciousness will or has already altered the timeline and thus eliminated these events from ever happening.
At Project TriStar, we believe there are several events remaining on the global timeline that will unfold prior to the arrival of any possible cataclysmic cosmic and geophysical events. We believe the following events have not been stopped or altered and will be experienced by all of humanity in the near future, but not necessarily in this order.
The redistribution of wealth so those who are working to prepare and help others have greater access to resources.
The complete list of events remaining on the global timeline is lengthy, but if you believe they will occur prior to the cataclysmic cosmic and geophysical events, then you can see that it will take more than one or two years for all of these events to unfold. If you believe in this perspective then the understanding that 2012 is likely to become another Y2K may be the one of the most important realizations of these times. In fact, it is quite understandable why the year 2012 will become a non-event as it will provide huge opportunities for growth on every level of consciousness.
The result of such a non-event will be an increase or decrease in commitment by those who are planning or taking action out of fear and anxiety and those of a balanced and grounded spiritual understanding. Such a non-event will also provide a natural filter of those that truly believe achieving self-sustainability is necessary for the future of humanity with those that believe nothing will happen and there is no need to plan for anything.
As we begin to understand the man-made events on the timeline and the global politics that has created them, it becomes obvious that such events are planned and orchestrated over periods of decades in order to accomplish very specific goals. This doesn’t mean that nothing is going to occur between now and 2013. We can certainly imagine the ongoing decay in global economic conditions, an increase in hostility between nations, and continued movement towards a one world government with new monetary systems. We can also imagine the continuous and exponential acceleration of conscious awakening, awareness, and expansion through these times.
As a co-creative effort of the combined capabilities and consciousness of every community member, it’s important that each member is in alignment with a common understanding of how the Law of Manifestation applies to the community planning and development. If this understanding is not comfortable to an applicant or member, or the progress of the community development is of concern, then applicants and members must decide whether the Project TriStar community is the best match.
We, at Project TriStar, are comfortable with our understanding of the available timeline data and the process of manifestation as it relates to our personal lives and the path to co-creating this conscious sustainable community. We accept that others may not find this process comfortable and may choose to take other actions. Either way, it is up to the individual to determine what they believe and what actions are in alignment with those beliefs.
We hope those who visit this website, find a piece to their individual puzzle. Maybe something that clicks, that provides greater clarity, that opens a door, or that triggers an entirely new list of possibilities.
Below you will find links to some personal interviews and lectures that I have produced on a variety of subjects. Some of this material is provided through other pages, other websites, and YouTube, but they have been combined here for your convenience.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Short of votes for their health care bill, Republican congressional leaders turned to President Donald Trump on Thursday to wrangle support for the divisive legislation they hope to push through Congress before Easter.
But Trump sounded more like he was at the start of a negotiation than ready to close the deal. And combined with opposition from Republicans of all stripes, the president’s flexible stance suggested final passage of the bill could be delayed, potentially exposing the legislation to the same kind of extended public backlash that undermined former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act from the start.
In another warning signal, four GOP governors wrote congressional leaders saying the beleaguered bill would not work for their states.
Govs. John Kasich of Ohio, Rick Snyder of Michigan, Brian Sandoval of Nevada, and Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas said the legislation “provides almost no new flexibility for states,” fails to ensure enough resources to protect vulnerable residents and shifts significant new costs to states.
Meanwhile, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told the Portland Press Herald, “This is not a bill I could support in its current form.” Collins joins Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Utah’s Mike Lee in opposing the legislation, while other Republicans, including Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Ted Cruz of Texas, have expressed deep misgivings. Collins’ opposition leaves the bill short of the support it needs in the Senate unless it changes, since GOP leaders can only lose two votes.
The House GOP bill repeals elements of the Obama law, including the “individual mandate” that penalizes people who don’t have insurance. It sets up a new system of tax credits that is less generous, particularly to older Americans. It eliminates some of Obamacare’s requirements for services health plans need to cover, and it sunsets an expansion of Medicaid over several years, an element causing great consternation with moderate-leaning Republicans but one that conservatives want to move up faster.
The bill also cuts a slew of taxes, mostly to the benefit of the rich. Conservatives say it doesn’t go far enough in repealing the Obama-era law in full, and an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found 24 million people would lose their health insurance over a decade though the bill would also reduce the deficit.
Republicans in the Budget Committee pushed nonbinding proposals to phase out the Medicaid expansion more rapidly, help low-income people more with tax credits and require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to meet work requirements. The provisions seemed a window into votes that leaders think may be needed to win support from conservatives.
“Anyone not willing to work, let him not eat,” asserted Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, in support of the Medicaid work requirement, saying he was citing scripture.
House conservatives say they are negotiating some changes directly with the White House, cutting out House GOP leaders, while rebellious GOP senators were stoking the opposition.
Nevertheless, House Speaker Paul Ryan tried to strike an optimistic tone as he addressed reporters Thursday for his weekly press briefing.
“We feel like we’re making great strides and great progress on getting a bill that can pass,” Ryan said.
But Ryan did not commit to a timetable for passage, and his acknowledgment that the bill needs changes to pass was itself a change. Last week, Ryan was pledging action next week by the House Rules Committee — the precursor to a floor vote — and confidently predicting the bill would have the votes to pass.
But some conservatives, having ousted the last House speaker, were beginning to grumble openly about Ryan’s leadership. “Maybe Paul Ryan needs to take a couple of lessons from Nancy Pelosi and learn what it means to have a majority. Having a majority does not mean playing defense,” said Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, referring to the House Democratic leader who was speaker when Obamacare passed.
By many accounts Trump has been closely involved in negotiations on the health bill, including calling Budget Committee members ahead of Thursday’s vote, but he is seen as focused on delivering his “repeal and replace” promise and flexible on the fine print.
Associated Press writers Ken Thomas, Richard Lardner, Kevin Freking and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar contributed.

A Time to Apologize. A Time to Laugh.
By Katie Delp I was digging through my purse for a tube of lipstick while simultaneously reciting instructions to the babysitter. Our friends were outside, ready for a night out, and I was hurrying out the door.
A week prior, Nicole had lied to my husband about throwing trash in our yard. After talking to her, Jeff told her she wouldn’t be able to play on our porch (in our very popular hammock) until she apologized for her actions. After several grueling days eyeing the other kids swinging in the hammock, Nicole and Jeff were finally having an important conversation. We left her all smiles in the hammock.
Mistaking my black cocktail dress for funeral attire brought a quick chuckle to all of the adults (and probably speaks to my lacking fashion sense).
Our years of intentionally living in South Atlanta have been full of small, meaningful exchanges like these with Nicole and Eric. Living together with those we seek to serve means our lives rub up against each other.
We make mistakes. We encounter each other in unexpected moments. We sit on the porch and witness the mundane, as well as the monumental, in each others’ lives. We laugh together.
Each of these moments are teachable. We’re always learning more about how to live together and how to love each other well. It’s not the big, ribbon-cutting moments that build our community relationships, but these everyday encounters that interweave our lives together.
Getting into the car that evening, I am reminded of God’s command to love our neighbor. These two experiences, back-to-back and in between my walk from the door to the car, nurture joy in my heart as we try to live out those important words.

The White House is seeking comment on a draft plan for establishing a trusted identity system online, with the goal of making Internet transactions more secure and convenient.
Howard Schmidt, the White House cybersecurity coordinator and special assistant to President Barack Obama, released a draft version of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace on Friday.
The plan calls for the US government to work with private companies to create an Identity Ecosystem, an online environment "where individuals, organisations, services, and devices can trust each other because authoritative sources establish and authenticate their digital identities."
The Identity Ecosystem would allow Internet users to complete transactions with confidence, Schmidt said in a blog post on WhiteHouse.gov.
"No longer should individuals have to remember an ever-expanding and potentially insecure list of usernames and passwords to login into various online services," he wrote. "Through the strategy we seek to enable a future where individuals can voluntarily choose to obtain a secure, interoperable, and privacy-enhancing credential ... from a variety of service providers - both public and private - to authenticate themselves online for different types of transactions."
The White House is seeking comments on the draft plan on a web page at ideascale.com. A handful of people had already commented on the plan by Friday afternoon.
One person suggested the White House take advantage of existing open-source trusted ID efforts, including OpenID.
Schmidt's office developed the draft of the trusted ID plan by working with other government agencies, business leaders and privacy advocates, he said. A second poster called on the government to "leave privacy to the private sector."
"The current executive has been smothering the privacy and liberty of Americans even more than his predecessor, and evading criticism by employing secrecy and rainbows," that poster wrote. "Americans should not trust the federal government to have any goal other than the expansion of federal power."
A third poster suggested that "you all go get a real job at McDonalds".
The trusted ID plan is part of the Obama administrations Cyberspace Policy Review, released in May 2009.

Mee Goreng Mamak is an extremely popular hawker centre comfort food in Singapore and Malaysia. I remember many a night out with friends that ended up at our favourite late night (was it all night?) outdoor food centre that served a gamut of dishes, ranging from Mee Goreng Mamak to Hainanese Chicken Rice to Satay. You name it, they had it!
The word mamak is a colloquial term for the Tamil Muslim stall owners which is derived from the Tamil term for uncle, “mama”. In Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, as kids, we are encouraged to refer to adults as auntie or uncle, whether we knew them or not, as a sign of respect.
So these noodles are made and sold at stalls run by South Indian Muslims. What distinguishes them from the local Chinese and Malay noodles, besides the spices used, is the addition of potatoes and tomato ketchup. This results in a slightly heavier and tangier noodle dish.
When made at home, Mee Goreng Mamak usually consists of leftovers from the day before, whatever’s at hand, whether it’s meat, seafood or vegetables.
Flexibility in terms of the “filling” used is a huge plus when you’re making any kind of noodle dish. Use whatever vegetables or meat you have at hand and usually a handful per diner is a perfect gauge of how much you need. You can use chicken, beef, pork, any seafood, or keep it vegetarian.
The more filling ingredients you use, the bigger the serving portions.
A small amount of curry powder is also sometimes used although I usually don’t bother.
Noodle Dishes of whatever origin, are always served with a variety of garnishes. It can be as simple as some chilli paste or cut chillies on the side, or as elaborate as fried eggs, pickles, etc.
Mee Goreng Mamak is typically served with some lime wedges, cucumber and tomato ketchup, as you can see in the image. I’ve also got some homemade sambal ( a thick chilli sauce), as well as some cut chillies in dark soy sauce, a very common when dip in South East Asia.
An authentic, quick and easy recipe for Mee Goreng Mamak, a very popular Indian Muslim hawker food in Singapore and Malaysia, and a favourite childhood recipe of mine.
Mix the soy sauces and ketchup and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large wok and sauté the onions and garlic on medium heat until fragrant, about a minute.
Add whatever meat you're using and cook, only a minute if it's seafood, otherwise, for about 5 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts and chilli paste and stir to mix.
Push everything to one side, add the eggs and let set for about 30 seconds.
Add everything else apart from the herbs and lime and mix thoroughly and cook for a couple of minutes until the noodles are done.
Turn the heat off and add the lime juice and herbs and stir.
Serve with the cucumbers topped with a squeeze of tomato ketchup.
Hi, how are you? It looks once again very yummy! We bumped into your site and we really liked it. We would like to share this recipe to http://www.sgfood.sg for review. We will link back to you. We are currently looking to video selected recipes to feature on youtube soon. Hope to hear from you! Cheers!
Cool, definitely going to make this one soon. I can get the fresh noodles easily from my Chinese guy. Can’t wait! Thank you Azlin!
Excellent, let me know how it goes!
I am starving looking at all of these gorgeous dishes. This is something my whole family would LOVE!!!
Sweet, spicy, tangy. I’m drooling.
Oh yes – I could definitely eat that entire plate of food by myself! It looks delicious and I love those flavors! How I wish I lived somewhere that had street vendors. Thanks for sharing this!

It's SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY!
This week I managed to make Banana Bread. I know, I know, it's not sewing-related, but it is the best I could do. On Friday I may be able to squeeze in the tiniest bit of sewing time. My machine feels neglected, I know it!

Well, the answer is: the new Leeds! Yes, as you read, this city has changed dramatically in the last few years. Its government decided to turn everything around and start modernizing, while keeping some of the old stuff to preserve its history. Leeds is by far one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, buzzing with shopping malls, new fancy buildings, restaurants, a touristic circuit and an all around renewed feel.
Is it difficult to get to Leeds?
It is definitely not. One of the great advantages of the city is that it is child’s play to get ther form any point in the United Kingdom – and even fro other countries! Whatever mean of transport you choose, Leeds is absolutely accessible, and you won’t believe how little it will take you to arrive to this new city.
Getting to Leeds is no challenge, and we will tell you all the options that you have. First of all, you can simply drive there. Leeds is right by the M62 and the A1/M1 link, and there are also many other roads that can take you to Leeds’s ring road. No matter what point of the UK you are driving from, there is an easy way to get there in no time. Also, if you are a sportswoman or just want to be quite active, you can take your bike and ride down the cycle lanes that are available there.
If you want to hit the road but you don’t feel like driving, you have buses and coaches frequently leaving London and other major metropolis heading to Leeds. They’re a cheap and efficient method, especially if you get a student Metrocard which will lower the prices even more.
Going by train is another great choice. There is a two and a half hour train ride between London and Leeds, but other areas of the UK are also connected via railroad, so you can get there from any place. If you want to try even other options, you can simply fly there, for the Leeds-Bradford International Airport is barely 8 miles north. You can book a taxi service in advance or ask for one when you arrive there; these cars will take you right to Leeds. And one last thing: you can even get there by ferry, because the Hull port is really close as well.
First of all, Leeds has a very active daylife with lots of places to perform sports and physical activities. So, if you want to see some great matches or even do something by yourselves, there are plenty of choices for you. You can go check Elland Road, where Leeds United plays – extra point for LU fans – or some other international sporting venues: Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Leeds Rugby League Club. If you like practicing other sports, Leeds has a tonne of sportsfields, tennis courts, a skateboard park and even an Olympic-sized swimming pool. For those who are more into nature, there are great places to go cycling, walking or just sightseeing: the Yorkshire Dales, the Valey of York and North York Moors. You can choose whatever you like the most and breathe some fresh air into your lungs before the night shake!
