Dear Community Partner:
The Office for Diversity and Inclusion is proud to support the 2018 Ujamaa Place trip to Ghana. This educational learning experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ujamaa men. It will positively impact the Ujamaa men's worldview by enabling them to develop cultural knowledge, reconnect to their roots, expand their global awareness, and build confidence for their personal growth. This aligns directly with Ujamaa Place's Theory of Transformation since the Ujamaa men will embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. These are the essential elements of leadership development and civic engagement. Hence, this learning journey will yield residual benefits for the entire community as Ujamaa men gain a renewed sense of confidence and purpose.
I can personally attest to the transformative power of a trip to Ghana. Since my first trip in 2016, I have returned on multiple occasions and proudly call Ghana: "my second home." Ujamaa men will visit historic sites which will include: Cape Coast and Elmina Slave Castles, Independence Square, Dr. W. E. B. Dubois Museum and the Parliament House. They will also spend time in Senchi-Ferry where they will visit local government offices, the palace, museum, and Queen mother. The culmination of these experiences will help to dispel the myths about the continent of Africa and serve as a source of pride for Ujamaa Men since they are a part of the richness of the African Diaspora.
I hope you will partner with us in making this trip a lived reality by donating today. You will plant a seed in the life of an Ujamaa man which will yield a harvest of justice and peace.
Dr. Artika Tyner
Associate Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion

Reacting to the judgement of the Supreme Court nullifying the election of APC's David Lyon and ordering the certificate- of- return be issued to the next candidate with the required spread, Oshiomhole said none of the other candidates that participated in the election met the requirements of the law.
While saying that the party respects the judiciary, he said the judgement of the Supreme Court lacks the ingredients of justice, stating using technicalities to nullify the wish of the people puts democracy under threat.
Oshiomhole explained: "From the online reports we have read, the Supreme Court ruled that the certificate of return earlier issued to David Lyon be withdrawn and directed INEC to issue a certificate of return to the person who scored the highest votes after Lyon if such a person has the required spread.

"As a political party, we respect the rule and we respect and have confidence in the judiciary. However, this judgement lacks the fruits of justice. For me and our party, at the heart of election is the issue of who did the people actually voted for?
"Is there a case of impersonation on the part of the deputy governor elect? Is there any other person who has come out to claim that name as to raise doubt as to whether this is the deputy governor elect dually elected along with the governor during the Bayelsa governorship election.
"Where justice and democracy thrive on the alter of technicalities, it constitute danger to our democracy. Nobody has raised issues whether David Lyon and his running mates won over whelming majority.
"Issues of whether a chieftaincy title is part of a name or not could not be a reason to dismiss the wishes of the great people of Bayelsa state who reposed absolute confidence in the election of David Lyon and his running mate during the last governorship election.
"It is not a state secret. If as the Supreme Court has ruled, David Lyon cannot be sworn in as governor and that the person who has the highest number of vote and spread be sworn in, it simply means that from tomorrow, there will be no government in Bayelsa state.
"As far as we know, the next candidate who happen to be aa PDP candidate does not have one quarter of the total lawful votes cast in that election in two third of the eight local government areas in Bayelsa state.
"Therefore, from the facts available to us and in consultations with our lawyer, it is clear that there no candidate that meets the requirements of the law which means that no one can be sworn in tomorrow legally unless there is deliberate abuse of the legal process.
"We have accordingly asked our lawyers to look at all the windows that exist in law and take steps to ensure that the will of the people of Bayelsa state is not undermined on the whims of technicalities."
Oshiomhole drew attention to a similar incident in 1999 when the same Supreme Court ordered a fresh election after nullifying the election of former Governor of Bayelsa state, Adamu Muazu.
He added: "When judges make judgements, they are published and there are those ones that laymen can understand. In 1999, there was a similar case in Bauchi involving Governor Adamu Muazu.
"The court found that his running mate was not qualified to contest the election and the Supreme Court nullified the election of Adamu Muazu and directed INEC to conduct a fresh election.
"I believe it is the same Supreme Court and therefore, we have asked our lawyers to explore all legal windows to ensure that Bayelsa people are not denied their wishes.
"Let me say that bad as the case of Zamfara was where after we have won the elections, the court held that APC did not conduct primaries and therefore did not participate in that election. This one is totally different because proper election was conducted.
"This is not another Zamfara case. The essential ingredients are different and so, the outcome and consequences cannot be the same. We want to assure our members across and Nigerians that we are a law abiding party, we still believe that the will of Bayelsa people will prevail."

Last weekend, Creative Catch Studio was a stopping place for Santa as he stopped and seen all the kids who came in to get photos with him. Every child old and young had fun as we had Warm Apple Cider, A writing/coloring station for notes to the North Pole, and every good boy and girl got to pick something out of the treasure chest. A good time was had by all!
We also raised $100 for Teen Closet to help Teens in need this holiday! We are so excited!
If you missed this great opportunity, don't be sad…Santa is coming back again before Christmas Eve. He'll be back on December 19th and 20th to see all the boys and girls who couldn't make it to Creative Catch this time. So you better be good and get your smiles ready, because Santa Claus is coming back to the studio!

We are focusing on celebrating thy self in January.
As a portrait studio, we get to witness "Happy is Beautiful" every day. When you walk through our door for a photo shoot, and regardless of flaws in your features, are truly happy in your own skin…it shows…and it is so very beautiful. Those flaws become invisible. Many times, those flaws that the self portrays, become part of an element of your unique beautiful to the world.
When you aren't happy with yourself… It shows every single time. "I'm fat. I'm old. I have acne. I don't deserve to be happy. I have a scar. My eyes are too small. My butt is too big. My…. I…." Of course the list could go on and on… if you allow it. This is YOU viewing yourself with a magnifying glass. This is YOU being too critical of all your flaws. When you do this on a daily basis, and compare yourself to the superficial view of the world around you, you are only focused on achieving a superficial better you. The REAL happy you is waiting to be released. All you have to do is "let it go."
With the unrealistic comparison we put ourselves up against, it affects what we think our worth is, what we are capable of. It is no wonder so many of us are sick and toxic and waiting for our magical happy pill to turn everything right for us. So as a New Year's gift to all of you, we at Creative Catch are focusing on YOU. On how you can lift YOUR self esteem and YOUR self worth, with only three things — YOUR thoughts and words and actions about YOU!
Come take this very important journey with us as we celebrate YOU!
Like us on Facebook. Do our "Change IT Challenge." Sign up for our Celebrate Thy Self Photo Event happening on January 30 and 31.
This last weekend, Santa made a quick stop at Creative Catch Studio to take photos with some of the good boys and girls (and dogs too!) from the Spokane area.
Sessions included a 20 minute visit, time to write a letter to Santa, and a FREE 4X6 photo magnet for each family who visited. All session fee monies, which included $100 in cash and gift cards were donated to Teen Closet, a local charity to provide clothes for foster teens in need. Plus, some of our families donated clothes too!
The Jolly Old Man said, "I enjoyed all the time I got to spend with each child, old and young alike, and got to know them better than most photo shoot visits I have."
All the letters and photos these kids wrote (or drew) for Santa, he enjoyed so much! Then just as quickly as he arrived, Santa was off to finish last minutes details to get ready for his big trip tonight! But just before he he slipped out of sight, he turned around and said, "I will definitely be back next year! Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas to all who visited East University District!"
Merry Christmas!
Creative Catch Studio

She's the fresh-faced secretary, preyed on by the high-powered partner. She's the college intern, who becomes the butt of her boss's dirty jokes. She's the junior associate, propositioned by her manager. When it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace, popular culture has a favorite image: The powerful man letching on his female underling.
But according to a new study, female supervisors are actually sexually harassed more than female subordinates. The researchers at the University of Maine and the University of Minnesota analyzed the Youth Development Study, which surveyed 1,010 individuals at regular intervals, starting when they were high school freshmen in St. Paul, Minn., in 1988. They looked at the responses from when these individuals were 29 and 30, and then interviewed 33 of them in depth.%VIRTUAL-hiringNow-topInds%
Harassing The Boss
Women who were supervisors experienced sexually harassing behaviors 138 percent more than women who weren't, according to their analysis, and experienced it 73 percent more frequently.
Other findings:
Working in largely male environments increases the likelihood of harassment. Female supervisors who worked in largely male environments, like police work or construction, were also significantly more likely to be harassed than those who worked in jobs with more women, like nursing or beauty salons (58 percent and 42 percent, respectively).
Women who step out of traditional feminine roles are most likely to be targets. "The popular culture image of sexual harassment is one of a male boss hitting on a female subordinate who he feels some sexual attraction to," says one of the study's researchers, sociologist Amy Blackstone of the University of Maine. If that were true, one would expect women who are young, attractive and vulnerable to be more at risk. The Youth Development Study does not measure hotness, but it does ask respondents to score their "femininity" on a 1-to-5 scale.
The less feminine women, it turns out, were sexually harassed more, in the same way men are more likely to be sexually harassed when they're perceived as less masculine.
It may be a way of keeping powerful women "in their place." The researchers theorize that sexually touching the woman, remarking on her body shape, probing her about her sexual proclivities, or tossing a copy of Playboy on her desk may be attempts to undermine her: sending the message that she's not valued as an equal, but as a body. The harassment also often is done for the amusement of other men, studies suggest.
"What better way to keep someone in their place than to humiliate them using sexual behaviors?" says Blackstone, who authored the study along with two sociologists at the University of Minnesota, professor Chris Uggen and Ph.D. candidate Heather McLaughlin.
Easier To Harass Women In Largely Male Workplaces
Sexual harassment may occur more often in predominantly male workplaces because the woman is less likely to report it, Blackstone suspects. In interviews, many women in this position reported feeling isolated, with few people to talk to, and more pressure to prove that they could do the job.
One woman they interviewed was the first woman in upper management at her manufacturing firm. She described being groped throughout a company dinner by the powerful client next to her. He put his arm around her, called her beautiful, touched her leg under the table and jokingly tried to undo her bra. For hours, nobody said anything, the study reports. When a male co-worker finally intervened, he apparently encouraged her to leave, but stayed behind himself to drink at the bar with the other guys.
When asked why she thought she was targeted, the woman replied: "I was the only girl there."
More:Burger King Pays Big Bucks To Teen Workers In Sex-Harassment Cases
Sexual harassment is also often done for the benefit of other men, according to past research. The researchers conducted one interview with a female employee at a home supply and building store, who said that her male co-workers would dump water on her when she was wearing a white T-shirt, so that her breasts would show through. Those kinds of pranks only seemed to happen, she said, when there were three or more men present.
The stereotype of the buxom secretary being harassed doesn't come from nothing, however. The first sexual harassment lawsuits in the '70s and '80s were all brought by women against their male bosses. There was Mechelle Vinson, a bank teller who claimed that the vice president of the bank repeatedly coerced her into sex and demanded sexual favors. And Sandra Bundy, who endured constant, crude sexual propositions from her two supervisors. And most famously Anita Hill, who alleged that soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made sexually inappropriate remarks to her when she worked under him.
But in the '70s and '80s, female supervisors may not have been sexually harassed so much simply because there weren't a lot of female supervisors. "Harassing women in the '70s and '80s in the workplace was a way of keeping them in their place as well," says Blackstone -- sending the message that they're not welcome in the workplace at all.

Today, women are largely accepted in the workplace, just not always in all industries, and in all positions of power. So as women creep up the ladder, sexual harassment may be one way to try to knock them back down, the study claims, or at least grease the rungs so they're not so easy to climb.
"How [sexual harassment] is laughed at in TV shows and movies as something that is really comical, it isn't representing what's happening in most women's lives," says McLaughlin. "It's about putting women in their place in the workplace and stripping them of any power that they have."
For decades, feminist advocates have argued that sexual harassment is driven less by sex, and more by power. Unwanted touching and crude jokes aren't signs of a crush, they argued, but a way to crush a woman's self-esteem. This study is one of the few examples of hard data that may back up this idea. "Sexual harassment is not about trying to find a romantic sexual partner," McLaughlin says about their findings. "It's about so much more than this."

This may seem like a clear stating the obvious statement, but I have to admit – again – that God and I often disagree about the proper timing of various events in my life. He has his ideas, I have mine, and in the end, since I'm a child of his who desires to follow him, I go with his. I may kick and scream some. But I go with his ideas. He is always right, but I seldom recognize that when it seems I'm on yet another detour instead of the wonderful and bright shortcut that I had found!
I know with all my heart and all my being that God has put a calling in my heart to serve him as a leader and a teacher in the area of discipleship training. That calling has been clear in me these past almost six years. I know that's what I'm called to do. And I have had my ideas of how to get to a place where I can flow the best in what God has given me to give to other people. God has not agreed with any of my plans so far. His plans to prune me are different. They take a lot longer. They involve more detours. They hurt more than my versions do. I understand that I can only learn humility through humbling experiences and circumstances, and yet it's been a hard struggle for me – and it still is – to accept when God takes me through these experiences with people and with him where I feel humbled. I know that much pride in me still has to die and that more of my self-sufficiency and flesh have to be replaced by abiding in him and trusting in him as my only resource to draw everything from. I want him to be glorified through what I do, not myself.
So he has had to send me on different detours. Out in the wilderness. Out in the deserts where water is sparse and life is not easy. It hurts to be out there, and Satan comes to you and starts questioning you and your calling: "did God really say what you thought he said? Is this really what he has called you to do? Certainly you'll never be a leader and a teacher if you keep going out here in the desert where nobody is here to listen to you". Maybe he'll go on to tempt you and say things like: "I know a shortcut to success. I know you want to be a humble leader, but you also need opportunities to prove that you're good at what you do. You need people to notice you. Come with me, I'll find you a place where you can get to spread your wings"
Don't listen to Satan. I've heard those voices these past 13 months where I haven't been leading and teaching. I miss leading and teaching. I love doing it. It makes me feel great about myself when I do it! Both from a mere human understanding of doing something I enjoy and find easy and fun, but also because I see God flowing through me the most when I lead and teach.
I am looking forward to this weekend where I will finally get to teach again. Just a couple of hours. Just a little group of less than 15 people. But I am excited about it. I love to teach and lead. It looks like God is about to bring me slowly out from the desert that I feel I've been in ministry wise. It looks like he is opening up some doors for me to do more of what I love to do.
I know he'll do it in his timing and the way he sees it's best for me. I know he has long term plans with me, and I know he knows how to build my character and make sure I'm ready for the challenges he has for me in the future.
I am glad that I don't have to make things happen. I don't have to promote myself or force anything through. I want to follow Christ's leading and be a broken cup type of leader that Christ's life giving and life changing water can flow freely through to impact the people I teach and lead!
So I embrace the fact that it looks like I'm moving very slowly towards some of what I know he has called me to do some day.
I embrace that I'm on a journey with him, and that for right now he wants me to focus on growing in areas of counseling, listening to people and walking alongside people without teaching them that are not my usual areas of strength. He wants to work through my weaknesses. And in the process of working through my weaknesses, he is also teaching me much that he is gonna use in my teaching and leadership.
I thank God that he is the gardener, his son Jesus Christ is the true vine (John 15), and I'm just a branch where God can bear fruit. I don't have to make anything happen in my life, calling and ministry. He will do that. In his way. In his timing. He will keep me as broken as he sees I need to be in order for him to do his work through me.
Blessings, Torben

Wow kudos for taking the effort to do this! Bet it'll come in handy for some poor lost cosplayer soul ^^
well seeing as there are many new people who are new in sgcafe and the world of cosplaying i decided to create some FAQ thread to let them know about the basics..
Starting By first welcoming to sgcafe where our community is 99% friendly and the 1% goes to trolls that doesnt have anything better to do
1) What are the Do and Dont's in a Cosplay event?? THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
refer to this ettiqutte thread here, credits go to Naoko
2) What are the cosplay or jrock events that are held in Singapore or maybe Malaysia
refer to the events thread here
credits go to sarahcoldheart
Major Events are usually the
Cosfest - Usually 2 day events...this is the biggest one as representatives to represent singapore
in japan are chosen in this event....
STAC EOY - End of year cosplay
Usually every year there are new events that involves anime and cosplaying appearing in singapore for the first time, such as the Anime Festival 2008, just do keep in track via the events section
3) Where can i get cosplay costumes , wether tailed or ready-made or cosplay accessories such as contact lens , rings , etc and props as well
SgMarket section especially commerical entities has people advertising on selling costumes that are tailored or ready made...
Some places which i know include......
Elysium Cosplay
Pan in the box - Chinatown point
Otaku House - Suntec my.playground
Haru - Far east Plaza
as for accessories u would also have to do some research and go various places to find one that suits..
Props wise it wouldnt hurt to get materials and build it from scratch such as some weapons right? at least theres some effort in the costume...
for materials u can go artfriend and get, i learned how to make my weapons and other props from the materials...
For Tutorials on making common props such as a mask or katana , and how to take care of wigs
go here
credits to naoko
If all else fails...it wouldnt hurt to ask ur teammates or friends for help
You can look in this thread for more infomation...
Once again credits goes to Naoko =)
4) Im new here and i dont know anyone etc
start by introducing yourself at the introduction section , if you are interested to cosplay a certain character from an anime , look at the cosplay grouping section to see if there is a team for that anime and join it if theres slots or they accepting doubles...if not maybe look for another character which you can do...
in most cases just join wadever outing that some of us organizes in the events section and join in and get to know ppl..most of the outings haf ppl that doesnt know one another....
in other cases its u visit the photos section alot and if u do recongize that cosplayer when u meet him/her just say hi and intro urself...they may know u too
Im sure every1 here is friendly and socialising =)
5) Some people might have this problem like cosplaying costs quite some amount and sometimes parents dont feel comfortable with us cosplaying
well the best answer is probably to attend one of the events and have a feel of it urself and see wether its good or bad...yes costumes usually is expensive but it wouldnt hurt to save part of your allowance for it right??? we are still considered " wierd people " by the public especially if we are in costume mode in public transports...thou cosplaying is getting a slight more attention nationwide...
and why do u care what ppl haf to say about u cosplaying? just because they say u doesnt meant u cant cosplay....be urself and do what u like instead of following what ppl say....
6) Is Lolita / Punk Considered cosplay?
the answer is NO
7) Im new to cosplay..should i form / join a team or solo?
My suggestion is to actually join a team for your first cosplay
Its a good way to get experience and learn many things through your first time, its also a good to get to get your first few or many friends among the community
9) So what character you think i should cosplay as my first time??
no1 can answer that question for u...find a character that u like and probably fits your personality...
do note that cosplay is not about just dressing up...if your character is the emo type...you have to be emo...it would be wierd if u see a Jigoku Shoujo Enma Ai laughing in pics no?? of course omake shots are for fun its ok, and there are times you just laugh because your doing funny things or see funny stuffs, that is still ok, assume those times you are not in character mode
remember accuracy and portay of the character is more important that ur physical looks.
10) what is cosF***?
As of what i know cosF**** refers to people cosplay chars that look very wierd compared to anime...example missing parts / wrong designs etc...and those who just want to insult the characters
refer to this thread for more information
11) In the event of a Hentai jiji photograhper
for girls especially...this is very important...read this thread for more imformation
credits to kiwiwi
and both guys and girls if you are alert do help one another spot potential HJJ photographers doing wierd photography...try to avoid confrontation...just do inform the cosplayer about the incident and tell her to be careful..... we should all help one another out
OVERALL : have fun....no1 really expects perfection in a cosplay...just do the most accurate as u can be....

Wow kudos for taking the effort to do this! Bet it'll come in handy for some poor lost cosplayer soul ^^
Well, if there are no open slots in the groupings can also solo-cosplay~
Ups for the effort!
this would be good as a sticky.^^
Just to add: if you're desperate to lose weight for cosplay or just want to change your body shape (the right way). Please refer to my Cosplayer's Gym thread on here:
Basically teaches people how to lose weight the correct way and how to look awesome in your cosplay outfit.
LOL. That was just great info for everyone.
As a add-on:
Are lolitas and j-rock considered cosplay?
No, Cosplay refers to the dressing up and posing of a certain non-existant character which has, in real life, no history. Of course, they're anime characters. Lolita and j-rock have an actual history about it, so nothing fictional about that.
can kenshi put this as a sticky? it would save alota spams..
i am following the guide
and its so hard to find a group
Hmm, you can slowly browse through the Cosplay grouping thread ~
but if nobody has created the group you wanted to join, and you don't want to solo, you can always create your own group ^^
But a word of warning though, it can really be hard work, and your teammates might ask you a lot of questions about where to get this and that, and so on, so be prepared : D
AGree that it's not easy to organise a team especially you are still new.
It always prefer to join grp or some experience cosplayer if you are new so they can guide you through.
You will also learn where to get material and how to do some simple handwork likes props and etc.
You will face more prob when you handling a grp like people drop out suddenly or can't make it for your meet up and all..
Got to know how to handle situation like if your team member is busy with their work how you gonna contact them or past the information to them.
Lots of work ya..? Gain some experience before open up your favourite anime team..
You can join my team and gain experience first.. XD
allenbunny> Slothx-san said was correct as a Team leader not only need to create a team but to manage it .. things like tailoring, meetings, props and many more.... joining a team that it is already there first would be much better... learn and then carry out the skills you learn...
This is a really useful thread.
This thread has definitely answered most of my questions,THANK YOU!

Some Details About Affordable Mountain bike parts
For giving grip and traction on a surface like dirt, gravel, rock, and sand, a mountain bike generally equipped with wide knobby tires. Comparing with normal road bike the tire pressure on a mountain bike is less. This is because of their greater number of volumes and the traction offered by the softer tire.To handle the different rough and tough road condition, the spokes and rims on a mountain bike are generally stronger and more durable than normal road bike As steel is low priced but it is strong and durable, most of the entry level mountain bike use steel as a bike frame.

Another material is aluminum, which is a little pricier than steel. The aluminum makes the bike frame light and relatively strong.
But the problem with the aluminum has a problem that in a case of repeated stress, it does not immune to breakage over time. Carbon fiber is used in high-end mountain bikes. The advantages of carbon fiber are that it is rust-proof, lightweight, and very strong. Titanium is used in the frame of top-of-the-line and in the mountain bike.

My Life
A 70's baby (almost a child of the 60's, but I clearly didn't want to emerge until after all the Christmas drama), I grew up in a small shipyard town in the North West of England, and had a pretty standard working class upbringing. My father worked as an engineer in the shipyard, and when me and my sister started school, my mum got a part time job as a typist. We had a coal bunker, a real fire and big 70's swirly carpet we used to play 'crystal maze' on. We even had a larder which was unfortunately knocked down when the obligatory late '70's extension was added, along with the central heating – bye bye fire. I was lucky enough to live on a street that had tons of kids of similar age, so we spent most of our free time out on our bikes and playing in the street – yes, actually in the middle of the road, and amazingly we were never run down! My best friend when I was a kid was called Sharon, and she lived about 8 houses up from me, and had one of the few houses that backed on to 'muddy lane', the lane that led out to the fields over the back where we used to run ferrel most weekends and summers. There were dodgy perverts hanging about then too and there was one particular 'flasher' who was often hanging around swinging his dinger about. We were always told to be careful and stick together and run screaming if we saw the dirty old bugger again, but we were never held back from our adventures in the fear that we may be stolen.
I am also the product of a broken marriage, another normality I guess, and from the age of 14 chose to stay with my father whilst my younger sister was dragged off to live in the beautiful lake district with my mother. Nowadays we'd have been thrown into long and arduous therapy sessions, but in those days you just kind of got on with it, and dealt with abandonment issues later on in life. This is probably why i became so fiercly independent.
By the time I reached 18, I came to realise that I didn't really have the personality that fit into our small shipbuildng town, and in a snap decision, I was boarding a train to London to start a career in fashion – well, that was my plan, and to be honest the only plan I did have! Which is probably why things turned out differently, and instead, after a small stint doing temp work at the BBC, where I got to hang out in the bar with whoever had been performing on Top of the Pops on a Thursday night, I later somehow managed to stumble onto a pretty great career path in TV advertising.
Working in media in the late 80's/early 90's was almost a pretend job looking back now. The things we got away with, and the partying that went on is like an urban myth to the graduates in that industry nowadays. But half way up my career ladder, as I matured a little, and life became a teeny bit more serious, I began to I worry that I needed to see the world before I ended up being a washed up old media veteran, married with 2.5 kids (or even worse, no kids!), and wishing I'd taken the plunge to enrich my life a bit more. Therefore, with the current boyfriend in tow and at the ripe old age of 25, I chucked on a backpack and boarded a plane to Nairobi on a mission to build some unforgettable memories.
For 14 months I lived out of a rucksack, which thinking back and looking at the hoards of stuff in my wardrobe, I have no idea how I managed it. Over the first 2 months, we weaved our way through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe until we reached South Africa. A pit stop in Johannesburg and then straight down to Cape Town where we hung out for 2 months with friends who were living there, drinking beer and eating A LOT of meat. Stomachs full and carrying an extra stone in weight, we headed off to India for 3 months to lose the weight, and more! After 3 months in India we moved up into Nepal for some trekking, over to Hong Kong, cried my way through China and danced down through Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia as far as Bali and Lombok, then back again. Eventually arriving back in London after a well earned rest back in Thailand just before Christmas 1996. I was well and truly enriched, and completely broke!
In the January I was very lucky to land a job working for a large kids tv network smack bang in the middle of Soho, which became my workplace and life for the next 13, almost 14 years. With Liberty's and Carnaby street across the road, I was perfectly placed for spending more than I could earn and feed my aggressive shoe habit. Just a short jog to Selfridges, a hop and skip to Fenwick, and TopShop flagship store around the corner, I couldn't be in a better place in the world (except New York, that comes pretty close).
I met my husband to-be whilst lunching in his restaurant just off Carnaby street, and not one for being slow off the mark, he moved in to my house in Shoreditch, right on the corner of Columbia Road flower market in East London. A year later we were married – 3 times (long story), 2 kids followed and 1 house move plus a realisation that with our colliding job hours we should maybe consider changing something in our lives so that we could actually spend some time together. So we moved again, this time to France. As you do.
We bought an old french converted farm house with 2 gites and mastered a plan to run a child friendly holiday business. I would run that business whilst husband fed his love for wine, and set out to start up a new company exporting and selling wines from small family vineyards to the UK. On paper it all sounded very flower chains in hair dancing round a meadow watching the kids pet local farmlife and run wild barefoot. And so here I am 5 years later, worn out, with extra sun spots to show for all that wonderful sunshine, roughed up finger nails, flat feet (will I ever walk in heels again?!), stress levels through the roof and waiting for the ink to dry on the signatures of our 'compromis' – in other words, agreement of sale of property. Yes, we are heading back. The grass is always greener they say, but quite frankly who needs grass!

AND SEE WITH OUR EYES AND HEARTS THE TRUTH. the truth of life on this planet, i think you know i call the hell h***, because everything is afraid of being eaten as prey. we hunt, store and kill to eat or we die, like it or not it is the truth and this truth has MANY LAYERS OR LEVELS OF ENERGY TRANSFORMING, so is e.s.p. and the oneness (feeling of the hearts of all atoms) no matter what configureration the atoms group as.
blessing to you, and thanks for your sharing with all of us.
Great to hear, Wes! I am always thinking about you and your website and how that was the spark to my awakening! I have been doing well, my meditations and spiritual practice have come to a bit of a standstill since I have been so busy with work, but hopefully everything will start to work out! I also recently found out that my twin flame is from the Pleiades, where you are from! Maybe this means I was once there as well - anyways I just wanted to share that with you! Love and Peace, brother! Matt
Hi Wes! I just wanted to say hello to you as it has been a while! I hope all is going well with you!

26 May Luxury
A recent article by Frances Percival (which appeared in the UK publication, The World of Fine Wine), identifies two different types of luxury items. One he calls the "checklist or filet mignon" version: high profile brands or items with features that conjure up sensations or tastes traditionally associated with wealth and comfort – like soft leather or tender meat. The other he identifies as the "luxury of expertise" – where the curated narrative counts for more than the experience. "Checklist luxury" is dominated by the big brands, whose objects of "craft" (once so rare) can now be made in high volumes. Accordingly the super-rich who seek something more exclusive find themselves drawn towards the expertise or narrative version. In Percival's example, it is not the tenderness of the meat which conveys the sense of luxury, "but rather the manner of its growth and preparation. In London, New York or Copenhagen, dropping several hundred dollars a head on dinner will quite likely yield a meal composed almost entirely of vegetables..(where)…integrity of agriculture and uniqueness are the key concepts; in place of a checklist of simple attributes, we are instead invited to taste a full narrative of the dish and its ingredients from their inception."
Percival's metaphor offers an easy way of understanding the dual worlds of Cape wine. For the old style luxury you need look no further than the opulent reds and richly oaked whites which dominate the top end of the wine lists in the country's trendy eateries. For the narrative examples, you have to seek out the small batch artisanal wines made by craft producers, often from tiny blocks of old vines, and mostly without any evidence of new oak to provide a clue as to the cost of the product.
Well-heeled consumers, unconstrained by serious budgetary considerations, buy items which gratify their self-image: they identify with the marketing message the producer has attached to the item – brand of car, gin, whisky – but also with the category of product – hand-made, imported, artisanal ("I don't drink 'industrial' beer" etc). Mostly they are able to confirm the wisdom of their choice simply by looking at what they've bought. But what if there isn't much to help distinguish between the luxury and the non-luxury version, between the craft wine and the thoughtfully made, unflamboyant commercial example? While such consumers may acknowledge that it's not about the flavour, but about the narrative, producers and vendors of these products recognise that there often isn't enough of a perceptible difference to justify the price differential. (This, by the way, I suspect is why they never submit their single barrel, hand bottled treasures to a blind tasting environment.) They concede, if only implicitly, that without the back story, there's little to distinguish the painstakingly produced collectable examples from the equally unflashy, industrial wines produced with all the 21st century technical tricks at the cellarmaster's disposal.
Of course this cuts both ways. The elements which once defined luxury in the checklist sense of the word are also subject to the same sleights of hand. Just because leather is soft doesn't mean that it's good. In the same way, just because a wine has perfect fruit intensity and a creamy mouthfeel doesn't mean that it wasn't also a winemaker's con job, produced using tannin powders and rendered savoury by strategic alcohol removal.
It's too easy to fall back on the old caveat emptor adage and leaves things there, but this means inviting consumers to institutionalise self-delusion. There's an apparently true story of the parvenu host who ordered the most expensive red on a Michelin-starred restaurant's wine list. When the bottle was brought – decanted – to the table, he challenged the sommelier with "how do I know it's the same bottle you showed me (sealed) earlier?" The somm is reputed to have responded (presumably the last thing he said before being fired) "Well, sir, if you can't tell the difference, it doesn't matter anyway."

I make easy to wear jewellery and heart warming home decor.
I am a product designer and maker who works from a studio in the beautiful Sidlaw Hills in Angus, Scotland.
My latest collection for Not On Th High Street is a collection of solid sterling silver jewellery. The collection is minimal and geometric; it spans the generations and it is very comfortable and easy to wear....what more could a woman want really? The latest collection is based around simple shapes. I look to find delicate colour and combine it with contrasting geometrics to make striking pieces that are simple but interesting.
I design and make everything myself to order. This means an idea can come from a scrap of paper in the morning and be transformed into a final piece of jewellery later that day. It is important to me that everything is made in-house. Combining in-house design and manufacture means all my products are individual to me it also gives me peace of mind that the carbon footprint of my collection is minimal.

All of you hardcore fanatics of Imangi Studios' hit continuous running game Temple Run can go ballistic today as a sequel has been spotted and is apparently slated for release tonight on iOS. So why in the hell are we talking about it? Because you know this game will also make its way to Android in the near future as well.
Appropriately named Temple Run 2, this sequel to the hit continuous running game comes with a slew of new features including new characters to play as, new environments to run through and even zip lines. While players will be treated to the same ruins and forest environments to run through, there are additional ones in this sequel including mines, more forests, and hazardous clifftops.
Also coming in this sequel, aside from zip lines, are mine carts that you'll have to steer when traveling through a Mine zone. There are also at least three new characters to play as, all of whom are running for their lives, bringing the total to four playable characters right off the jump. These characters also have 'special powers' that they are able to use although details on that haven't come out yet.
Apparently Imangi Studios main focus was to give the game a bit more of a natural feel to it. While the original Temple Run was all 90 degree turns, jumps and a fairly rigid gameplay overall, this sequel is much more curvy and hilly. So turning isn't so much just swiping your finger across the screen and your character being able to turn on a dime while running full speed ahead.
Folks over on the Apple side of the train tracks will be getting Temple Run 2 tomorrow if it isn't already out right now in some locations. As for the Android version, no word just yet on when it will be arriving. However, we've contacted Imangi Studios asking about when Android players can expect to see Temple Run 2 on their devices. When we hear back, we will update everyone.
Update: Jan. 16, 2013 1:58pm: Added the Temple Run 2 Gameplay Trailer to the bottom of the article. Also apparently Temple Run 2 will be arriving next week for Android according to the word on the street. We will try to confirm this.
