Brits abroad - Dale Tempest
Continuing our Brits abroad series in which we speak to players and coaches to get the lowdown on their time overseas, Adam Bate talks to Dale Tempest of Sky Bet about his time in Belgium and Hong Kong.

Before reinventing himself as a betting expert for Sky Bet, Dale Tempest was a lower league footballer with a twist. At 22 he left Huddersfield to play for Lokeren in Belgium and after a brief spell at Colchester he walked away from English football for good to pursue a new life in Hong Kong... and ended up playing in World Cup qualifiers for them! Adam Bate found out more...
How did the move to Belgium come about?
I was at Huddersfield. We'd had a decent enough season and finished mid-table or near enough. Mark Lillis, who was my strike partner, went off to Manchester City for £100,000. The two years that I'd been there I'd scored 17 goals in the first season and 16 in the second. They offered me a new contract and it was only £10 extra for a further two years.
Different times!
Tell me about it! So I decided that I'd go as a free and see if I could pick up another club. An agent got in touch with me and I ended up in Belgium with Sporting Lokeren.
It was a big move for a 22-year-old though?
Yeah, I think the experience at Huddersfield had just disillusioned me. I really thought that I was going to get a decent contract for the first time in my life having come through the system. And obviously instead I was offered an absolutely ridiculous contract. I mentally became a mercenary overnight.
What were your first impressions?
It was fairly different. Actually, I have to say that my time in Belgium was the only time I felt I improved as a player. We played once a week and everything was about technique. When you signed they gave you your own ball which you had to put your name on and bring to training every day. That was quite unusual.
But the dressing room with the players, they were like any other players. We had a good combination of a few foreign players and some younger lads. We were actually favourites to go down and we were quite a small club but we managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup that year so it was a massive season for us.
Our coach was a guy called Aime Anthuenis. He went on to manage Anderlecht a year later and then be the coach of the Belgium national team. And it was a bit bizarre. I used to play up front at home and then away I'd play centre-half. It was very technical and tactical games that we'd play there.
To give you an example, the first three games I played, we played away in the League Cup and won 3-1 and I scored; then we drew the first home game against Racing Jet and I scored; and then we went to Antwerp on the Tuesday night and we won 1-0 and I scored. So we'd played three games and I'd scored in all three.
Then we went to Mechelen, who won a UEFA Cup around that time and were a really top side, and it was live on TV on the Saturday. I was getting myself psyched up for it and he dropped me. I remember the coach coming in and telling us that we don't play with any forwards today. And we went there for a 0-0 draw and got it. Everyone was high-fiving and thought it was fantastic. It left me totally bemused. But it was a great education in terms of how to think about football.
You were back in England a year later - How come?
I was enjoying it and it was all good and then Anthuenis left for Anderlecht. Wim Jansen took over, the Dutch coach who later went to Celtic. I remember I came back for pre-season and being the typical British player I'd just had the summer off. I'd put a bit of weight on. I was totally used to just letting myself go and then coming back and getting fit. After the first few days I was running the best I could - but with the goalkeepers.
Wim Jansen slaughtered me in front of the whole squad and said I was a disgrace. It was just a different mind-set. They all just kept themselves fit in the summer. Nobody had told me to do it and it was just something I'd always done.
So I had a major row with him then and ended up leaving. To be fair when I got fit he did ask me to stay and withdraw my transfer request because he realised I could do a job for him. But by then I'd set up a move to Colchester and ended up going there for two years.
So it wasn't so much a desire to go back to England?
Well, the wife hadn't settled so that hadn't really helped. But I would have seen out my contract if Anthuenis had stayed or I hadn't had the fall-out with Wim Jansen who made it pretty clear he wasn't interested in an English centre-forward.
Was it a culture shock to come home?
It was bizarre. When I was in Belgium you just worked on technique day after day - touch, technique, touch, technique... When I signed for Colchester the chairman came up to me after the first few games and said, 'I've got an absolute steal with you, you look a million dollars'. Nobody could get the ball off me; I was so in control of my technique.
But training at Colchester meant playing on the Saturday, day off, five-a-side, game, five-a-side, travelling, game - you never actually did any training. It was just a treadmill. After about two months of training I remember going home to my missus and saying, 'I'm back to being the average pro I was before I went to Belgium'. It was horrible. I felt like all the touch I had just left me. There was nothing I could do about it.It's changed now but back then in the 80s there really was this huge difference between the technique of the continent and how we did things at home. For example, we would play 10 against 10 on half a pitch with a goal one yard wide in Belgium. It was all about keeping possession. You would practice passing and keeping the ball. I don't remember a goal being scored. English pros would have said, 'What's the point, there's no goal?' It was just a whole different mind-set.
Do you need to be a certain person to be open to moving abroad because you then went out to Hong Kong?
Like I say, I'd had the stuffing knocked out of me at Huddersfield when I didn't get offered a decent contract. And I thought to myself that if I'm going to have a career I'm going to have to go where the money is. When I came back to Colchester I was on £300 a week, interest rates were 15 per cent and I had a mortgage I couldn't afford to pay.
I got offered the chance to go to Stockport for another two years on the same money or I could go to Hong Kong for a £10,000 signing-on fee and a much bigger salary. It was a no-brainer. I just thought I could go there for a year and clear my debts.
So you were going with one-eye on it being a short-term thing?
Definitely, that's how I was viewing it. But I ended up taking my missus out there and my eldest son was born out there actually. We all went out there as a family and in the first year I was the top scorer.
It's a bit like Scotland in Hong Kong. If you play for Rangers or Celtic it's easy because you are in a very good side, and I was fortunate to be playing for the Celtic equivalent. I was the top scorer and offered another year and I enjoyed the lifestyle.
But you have to accept when you go there that your career is finished. That's what I did. I was there and I was going to earn as much as I could over a short period. And I stayed there and developed a TV career doing commentary. Then I started doing presenting.
While you were playing?!
Yeah we would train from 3pm to 5pm most days so it was very easy for me to go and do TV work on the evenings. It was never really an issue.
You say you had to accept your career was over. Was the standard that bad?
The problem with Hong Kong for most pros who came out there was that the coaching was just awful. They were just players or friends of the owners. The standard was really poor.
It did get to the stage where there were four or five foreign players per team. So if you thought you were one of the best players in your team then you had to remember you weren't being compared to the Chinese players as you were earning far more than them. You were being compared to all the foreigners in the other teams. If you took that approach - that this was the competitive edge you had to have - then you'd be okay.
But most players would come out there and think, 'I'm the best player in this team' and become really lazy. They'd not really put it in because the social life was fantastic. You could go out every night and then sleep it off because training didn't start until 3pm the next day. But I had my family there and I actually got fitter in Hong Kong than I had been at any point in my career.
In fact, I went to the Hong Kong institute and got a sports science degree. I did a three-year course in nutrition and biomechanics and all these sorts of things. When I graduated I actually became the fitness coach as well as playing.
So I approached it in a different way. I realised that Hong Kong was a really small pond and I could become a big fish there if I stayed. There were loads of big players who came through, lasted six months but then disappeared because they couldn't hack the lifestyle and [were unable to] focus.
I got my head down. I was top scorer in six of the nine years I was in Hong Kong. I learned very quickly that I had to ingratiate myself to the people over there. I could understand a little Cantonese and when we went away I would play the Chinese gambling games with all the other players. I just got on with all the other players.
One year I signed a new contract with Eastern and then was told by reporters that it had been ripped up and they'd signed Tony Sealy (ex-QPR and Sporting Lisbon forward) instead. I spoke to the club and they had just decided to make a change and get a new centre-forward in. There was nothing I could do.
I packed up my stuff and went home. Then another club in Hong Kong got in touch and offered me a game-by-game deal so I went back out there and thought I'd see what I could pick up. After six weeks of pre-season, Eastern had lost their first two games and the Chinese players were refusing to play with Tony Sealy and demanding I came back. The friendships I'd made out there had worked and I got a two-year contract!
And you played there for nearly a decade in the end, even becoming a full international...
After seven years I qualified through my residency and played for the national team. I'd gone from the possibility of having the you know what kicked out of me in the conference to playing in a World Cup for Hong Kong!
I was also fortunate enough to get a job with San Miguel as their PR director. I'd get up and work for San Miguel from 8am to 1pm, then I'd train with the football club from 3pm to 5pm and then do my TV work in the evenings for Star Sports. So I was doing three jobs! It's just a case of getting to know people and not thinking, 'Oh we're English and we do this and that'. That was the main lesson I learnt.
So do you think struggling British players are missing a trick not looking at opportunities abroad?
Definitely. If you really want football to be your career you have to change your mind-set. If you go places and you integrate then you quickly understand that it's a small world and you can make a lot of use of your talents. You've just got to be humble.

SEED and SEED Destiny are the worst ones to me. I tried to give them a chance when they first aired and I tried to give it another chance last year but I still hate them. SEED killed Gundam for me until 2010 which when I gave 00 another chance and I fell in love with Gundam again.
I hate SEED and Destiny but I really like SEED Stargazer....wish there was more of stargazer.

I'm weird in that I don't think any Gundam is very good when it comes to story or characters for that matter. There are a select few characters that I think are amazing across the all the various series but as a whole I don't rate any of them highly for either of these reasons.
That said the ones lowest to me are.
Gundam SEED Destiny - The first half actually, I'm one of the few that actually liked it a little more when Kira showed up just so it would cut away more from Shinn's annoying ass. Didn't like it to much even then but it did get much better to me when the ending battle happened.
The Movie retelling of this series was much better because they were forced to cut alot of shit.
Zeta - I hate Kamille, in fact to me Kamille is what Judau is to most people. Char steals this show in my mind.
OO - OO Raiser is cool but the characters/story/Mech designs are garbge outside of it. Weirdly not a fan of Exia even though it seems like most people I know are.
All the rest I've either liked design's or it had a character or two I liked.

Mobile Suit 0079 boring and lame. I found the cast and story much better in Zeta. Way things are now I have little hope of The Origins being any good.
Seed Destiny should have done what Zeta did made Kira and certain characters becoming supporting characters instead of stealing that protag status from Shinn and his crew halfway through the series.
Thats it.

The Origins is more of a slight re-telling of Mobile Suit Gundam, but IMO, a slightly more "realistic" fashion, like with the design of the Guntank and Guncannon (which definitely shows their earlier Mobile Suit design phases compared to the Gundam). Also some slight differences like the Federation already having the Guntank and Guncannon working and not just bunched together with the Gundam as new prototypes being fielded. They're actually considered antiques by the time the Gundam appears, not much better than the Zaku II.

I've never actually watched MSG yet, but I did enjoy Zeta. I guess it didn't age as well, since I didn't find it all that amazing, but it was good.
Wing was the first Gundam I watched, although I was mostly ambivalent to it. It was decent, but I liked to pan it for the over-used stock footage and ridiculous characters.
Turn-A I didn't watch for a number of years after it came out, because the thought of a thousand year old Gundam held together by spit and duct tape seemed stupid. But after finally giving it a chance, by the end of it it's probably my favorite of all the Gundam shows. It has a very... 80s feel? To the storytelling. But that ending and how it wraps stuff up was just such a powerful message IMHO.
Seed I thought was pretty entertaining. Destiny was just a terrible trainwreck. The first 10 eps or so were halfway passable, but it just got worse and worse after that point. (Resetting the character development on Athrun/Cagalli even at the start was lame...)
Gundam00 S1 was pretty amazing IMHO. You had some pretty solid tactics, some meaningful deaths, etc. S2 dragged on a little too long, and kept around a number of characters for no real reason that should have been written out. Don't get me started on how bad the movie was though...
Gundam AGE so far seems to be a show without an audience. Its failed to gather an audience with children like it wanted, but then the juvenile plot with holes and motivations so lacking you can fly a Gundam through them have also hurt it with adults. (Averaging about 2k sales per volume. 00 did something like 25-30k. Seed was of course 70k range)

It's been a long time but I remember the final fight scene in G Gundam where the main character and his love intrest starting to scream love love power or something.
The show itself was stupid it was like Real Robot becomes Super Robot piloted by Dragonball characters.

Zeta Gundam was good to me but the last episodes just felt dumb. Four "dying twice", Kamille's "sister" having the same story as Four (so Four actually dies three times), ridiculous ways to die such as a guy crashing with an asteroid (...). Also the final battle felt more like Star Wars than Gundam. Kamille starts talking with about 8 ghosts and all of them somehow increase the power of the Gundam. A second before dying Scirocco remembers he has the power to mindrape any pilot and uses it on Kamille (genius!). Thankfully, the movies fixed most of my problems.
On a sidenote, Char's Counterattack was even worse to me. After 93 episodes of character development, Char becomes one of the most naive villains ever intending terrorism and genocide just for the sake of psychic powers for mankind. I would have forgiven him if he would have not given Amuro weapons to fight. -_- That's just Dragon Ball intelligence Char... Then the supporting characters fail even more than the ones from the UC trilogy to the point I wondered why did Amuro and Char even thought it was letting them fight correct. If the ending of Zeta was Star Wars then CCA's ending was Dragon Ball as Amuro somehow makes the Spirit Bomb with Nu to push Axis.

I didn't like Zeta Gundam that much. There were some things I liked, but also a lot of things I didn't like (like the poster above me pointed out) and at the end I was just disappointed.
I also didn't like Wing much either, It felt like they were trying to do too much in 49 episodes that it felt like it either wasn't executed well or it wasn't properly explained so I didn't know what the heck is going on.

I disagree about the AUs character and plot development being bad, or at least with the ones I've seen so far. Seed was awesome (Destiny had issues though I don't consider it nearly as bad as most people do), 00 was good though had some flaws, and I'm 3/4 the way through X and it's pretty solid so far. I know what's going on in those shows and what the characters are fighting for but Wing doesn't give me a chance to absorb what's going on or understand what the characters are doing so I'm left confused.

I only liked G Gundam (yes, I like G Gundam), Gundam X (wish it wasn't cut short), and Turn A Gundam out of the AUs. 00 had a lot of promise earlier on, but late Season 1 and Season 2 just...eh...same with AGE. I liked it earlier on with Flit's Arc, but as it got about mid-way into Asemu's Arc, it went down a bit, but Kio's Arc just...ugh...

Seed was the first series i saw and i still like it alot. Destiny not so much. i like nearly all equally though the ones near the top are 00 se1-2, the movie was good but a bit rushed. i loved Turn A and Wing. Turn A was just so distinct and unique it scored well in my book. Wing is a no brainer, great character dynamics and great plot. Turn X was unique but over decent. the original series is great BC its the first one released. the only one i couldnt stand was G Gundam. there's just something about the pointless screaming scenes that makes it weird.
AGE was a good series but i liked it more for character progression rather than the fighting scenes.

LAKEVILLE — A New Bedford High School graduate — now a Yale University professor — was back on SouthCoast last week, lecturing to a group of students at Apponequet Regional High School.
LAKEVILLE — A New Bedford High School graduate — now a Yale University professor — was back on SouthCoast last week, lecturing to a group of students at Apponequet Regional High School.
Some of them just happen to be taught by her former teacher.
Laurie Santos, 37, a professor of psychology at Yale, spoke on sex, evolution and human nature to biology students, including students in teacher Bonnie Ferreira's Advanced Placement biology classes.
Santos and Ferreira know each other from another AP biology class: the one Santos took from Ferreira when she was a student at New Bedford High and Ferreira a teacher there.
"We just remained close through the years," said Ferreira, who said when Santos contacted her recently to say she was going to be in Massachusetts and would Ferreira like her to come give a guest lecture, she leapt at the opportunity.
"She always extends herself," said Ferreira.
Santos graduated from New Bedford High in 1993 and then went on to receive both a bachelor's degree and a PhD from Harvard University.
In 2002, she joined the faculty at Yale University, where she is now a professor of psychology. Last year, she received the Lex Hixon '63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences.
In talking with the YaleNews after learning she was the 2012 recipient of the award, she named Ferreira as one of the teachers who had most inspired her.
"I think I was definitely really lucky in the teachers I had," said Santos on Thursday.
She added later: "Having teachers who cared and were good showed me science was something you could figure out."
Santos said her love for the sciences was fostered in part by teachers like Ferreira.
"It's great to come here and see Ms. Ferreira's teaching is affecting the next generation of students," she said.
Santos said she really enjoyed coming back to SouthCoast and speaking to high school students, although she doesn't have the time to do it as often as she would like.
"It's really nice to kind of give the kids some curriculum they might not get at the high school level," she said.
Also, Santos said, talking to high school students about her job and the research she does might open their eyes to career possibilities in the sciences.
In January 2008, Santos was the subject of an article in Smithsonian Magazine about her research on monkeys that populate an island off the coast of Puerto Rico. In part, her focus was on how primates understand physical objects and relations.
In a related 2008 article in The Standard-Times, she spoke of her work and extensive travels.
"I don't think high school Laurie would have believed any of this would have transpired," she said.
Santos grew up in New Bedford just a few blocks from New Bedford High School, where her mother, Marie, was a guidance counselor for many years. Santos' younger brother also attended the high school.
"All my family grew up in New Bedford, and in general, it was a great place to grow up," Santos said in the account.

Undergraduate from China pursues his interest in India
Brandeis-India Initiative Fellow tells his story on film and in words
India has always been a mysterious country to me. I spent ten years in Chinese schools, but it was really my experiences abroad that broadened my vision and piqued my interest.
Rumor in China was that Indian cities were packed with slums and the rivers were filled with dead bodies. At the same time, news articles also told us India was one of the largest economic powers in the world, and was going to be one of China's greatest challengers.
Opposite points of view raised my curiosity. When I attended an international school in Yangon, Myanmar, I became friends with many Indians. They corrected some of my misunderstandings of their country, which heightened my interest further.
When I started at Brandeis, I enrolled in "Introduction to South Asia," taught by Professor Harleen Singh, who gave profound yet pellucid lectures on Indian history and culture. During the class, I heard that the university recently had launched the Brandeis-India Initiative, which, among other things, supported Brandeis students to work, study and volunteer in India. I thought it could be a great opportunity for me to develop my knowledge of the country.
I had participated in community service in Myanmar and enjoyed helping children, so I searched for opportunities to volunteer in Indian schools.
I was really excited to be named one of the inaugural Brandeis-India Initiative Fellows. When I returned to China, I bought stationary, toys and water purifiers, since I'd heard many Indian children in rural areas did not have access to clean water. I prepared short presentations on places I had been to, in order to broaden my students' visions and inspire them to explore the world.
The volunteer program was based in Palampur, a small town in Himachal Pradesh in the snow-capped foothills of the Himalayas in northern India, two hours from Dharamshala, where the Tibetan government in exile was located. During my volunteer period, I stayed with a local Indian family. I had my own bedroom and washroom, but there was no showerhead or Internet. Blackouts were frequent. I enjoyed the time when I simply laid on the balcony and stared at the sky. It made me feel so relaxed and peaceful.
My duties included taking care of children at a daycare center and teaching English and computers at a local school. I spent three hours a day at the daycare center. I played with the children and taught them alphabets and numbers. Some of the children were hesitant to talk, so I usually brought chocolate and candy bars to encourage them. My favorite child was Munish. He would climb up my leg to hug me. I was also in charge of feeding Munish. Since I had no experience in doing so, I was really nervous at beginning. Later I became more comfortable with this work, and I started to fall in love with these naïve and innocent children. Sajal, a two and a half year old girl I watched at the daycare center, told her parents that she wanted to marry me. Although everybody laughed when she said that, I was still deeply moved.
I spent another three hours daily at a tutoring school. I taught English and computers to students from a government school. I taught computers in the morning before they went to government school, and I taught English after they finished government school. Even though I had no previous experience, I was a patient and precise teacher. In order to raise their interest, I organized games and competitions related to the lessons. My students' thirst for knowledge surprised me. They were quite active in classes, and curious about the outside world. Most of them had never seen the sea, so they had a particular interest in beaches and oceans. I hoped I could take them to the seaside and let their dream come true.
My time in India changed me a lot. I am more comfortable taking care of children, and my interest in South Asia is greater than ever. The Brandeis-India Initiative program provided a great platform for me to volunteer in a place I was curious about.

Type N feedthroughs combine the most popular medium-sized high frequency connector with a feedthrough designed to perform in high and ultra-high vacuum applications. The standard Type N series is suitable for use to 1 GHz. Type N feedthroughs and mating connectors are rated for 500 Volts DC and up to 3 Amps. Subminiature Type-A (SMA) feedthroughs are compact designs suited for medium to high frequency applications. Similar to the Type N series, the standard SMA series is suitable for use to 1 GHz. SMA feedthroughs and connectors are rated for 700 Volts DC and up to 1 Amp. The floating shield version is rated to 2500 Volts DC.
Both Type N and SMA feedthroughs are also offered with increased signal transmission performance. These high-vacuum feedthrough designs have been engineered for improved RF performance in high frequency applications up to 8 GHz. Unlike the standard Type N and SMA feedthroughs which are intended for UHV applications, these matched impedance versions utilize a Teflon dielectric spacer. This design parameter optimizes electrical performance but requires consideration in some vacuum environments. High Performance SMA rated to 18 Ghz also available.
The electrical and thermal ratings specified are safe operating limits determined by various factors including material properties, mechanical design, and the intended operating environment. All electrical ratings are based on operation with one side in dry atmosphere and the other side in vacuum of 1 x 10-4 Torr maximum pressure. Temperature ratings for various mounting options may reduce the operating range of an assembly. All assemblies have a maximum thermal gradient of 25oC per minute and may be damaged if this limit is exceeded.

Like Pablo Amaringo before him, Andy Debernadi captures the visions of the ayahuasca experience in his art. His rich, densely vibrant paintings anchor the magical world of nature, the astral jungles and the curanderos that bridge those worlds. Andy's works are more than art–they are maps for all those who come looking for a connection to spirit.Rak Razamauthor Aya: A Shamanic Odyssey
Andy Debernardi's work is spectacular, and the artwork that my co-authors and I commissioned from him that graces our book, Inner Paths to Outer Space, has gotten at least as many accolades as the book itself. His paintings come alive from the canvas and possess a supernal glow.Dr. Rick Strassman MDhttp://www.rickstrassman.com
In more recent years Andy has created an awe-inspiring series of extraordinary visionary works inspired by ayahuasca, the sacred brew of the Amazon. As in his naturalistic work, Andy excels in intimating the realms often visited by those who partake of this sacred beverage.Dr. Luis Eduardo Lunahttp://www.wasiwaska.org
Andy Debernardi is, beyond any doubt, one of the leading visionary artists of today. His paintings are instantly attractive and frequently breathtaking, using a color palette that is vibrantly psychedelic but never overstated, with a precision of detail to match. No one, not even the great Pablo Amaringo, has painted ayahuasca snakes with such a rich texture and appropriate emotional ambivalence!Patrick Lundborgauthor of 'Psychedelia' (2012) and editor at Lysergia.com
Anderson Debernardi is a World Visionary. His works spring forth with the spirit and splendor of the supernatural. Exploring his art is a journey of healing and transformation, a quest into the medicine life and sacred sharing of the glow at heart of shamanism. The new culture is blessed to have this wonderful light helping to guide us back into balance with our planetary ecology.Delvin Solkinsonhttp://www.cosm.org
Anderson Debernadi truly is one of the greatest Visionary artists of our time. In a few more years I see him becoming as famous as his mentor Don Pablo Amaringo . I remember the first time i saw Andy's art, i was spell-bound; my spirits were all excited, over-joyed in fact to be able to connect to such beauty. He combines many aspects of the spirit worlds together and in such a way that they all work in harmony.Malcolm Rossiterhttp://www.bluemorphotours.com/
Anderson Debernardi is a gifted visionary artist who learned his craft under the instruction of the Master, Don Pablo Amaringo. DeBernardi is clearly Pablo's heir apparent; and as sometimes happens, Andy's work is if anything superior to that of his teacher. He uses his training under Pablo as the platform to depict cosmic dimensions of incredible beauty. Take time out to enjoy his work, and to ponder.Dr. Dennis J. McKennaPH.D
Andy's evolution from an internationally respected naturalist painter to an ayahuasca-inspired spiritual artist has shown the breadth of his skill. If we had more wall space we would add another to our home.Dr. Michael Winkelman PH.Dhttp://www.michaelwinkelman.com
Anderson Debernardi's amazing and breathtaking paintings take us directly into the realms of mystery and enchantment unfolded by Ayahuasca, the sacred brew of the Amazon. For those who have already begun to explore those realms these images offer poignant and powerful reminders. For those who have yet to experience them Debernardi's paintings are a haunting invitation to share the magic.Graham Hancockauthor of Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind.
Having drunk ayahuasca over 500 times, I can easily say that Anderson Debernardi's depictions of the visionary dimensions accessible through ayahuasca are the most accurate to the senses that I have ever seen. Magnificent and tantalizing!Carlos Tannerhttp://www.ayahuascaassociation.org

FIVE AND DIME: "There might be less of it, but money can still be beautiful," Karl Lagerfeld said Wednesday morning at the Monnaie de Paris after minting the first coin he's designed, marking the 125th anniversary of Gabrielle Chanel's birth. Two gold and two silver coins make up the limited edition collection, each featuring Chanel's portrait on one side and a giant number five on the other, representing their face value of five euros, or $6.30, a reference to the house's classic scent. Lagerfeld, who posed for photos with the coin held like a gold patch in front of his eye, admitted he's not a money person. "I like money to be spent, not kept," he said. Just 99 of the most valuable piece, a gold coin weighing five ounces, will be produced, with a price tag of 5,900 euros, or $7,450. All are already spoken for, according to Christophe Beaux, the French mint's chief executive officer. "We're oversubscribed," he said, adding some buyers will be more privileged than others, likely referring to Chanel, which is said to have placed a sizable order. The total collection of 11,099 coins goes on sale on Dec. 1.

PRADA LINKS IN: As a company that made its name with chic leather goods, it's no surprise Prada is accessorizing its latest cell phone. The Milan-based label launched the Prada Link — a braceletlike leather and metal timepiece that alerts Prada phone users to calls and SMS messages — with a soiree at its Bond Street store in London Tuesday night. The Prada Link, which connects wirelessly to the phone using Bluetooth, is produced with the South Korean company LG Electronics Inc., which also manufactures the Prada phone, whose latest model features an ultraslim slide-out keyboard. The label also gave its animated film, "Fallen Shadows," a London debut during the party. The film, created with director James Lima, depicts a Prada-clad character and her shadow running through virtual city streets and surreal landscapes.
EILEEN FISHER HONORS WOMEN: Eileen Fisher has chosen the recipients of its fifth annual Business Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs: Loyale, a New York–based apparel brand that uses organic and sustainable fabrics, as well as factories with fair labor practices; The Goat Patrol, a Durham, N.C.–based start up that provides an environmentally friendly alternative to removing unwanted vegetation with the use of cross-bred Boer goats for targeted grazing; Simplyneutral, a Minneapolis-based company that makes nontoxic cleaning products; Strong Healthcare, a health care provider in Richardson, Tex., which provides affordable health care to low-income children, and Twisted Limb Paper, a Bloomington, Ind.-based firm that creates handmade 100 percent recycled paper for invitations, thank-you notes, stationery for school and nonprofit fund-raising. All women-owned businesses that combine the principles of social consciousness and sustainability, each firm will each receive a $10,000 grant, expertise from Eileen Fisher's internal departments, and be recognized in New York City early next year. More than 125 business women applied. "With the credit market tightening and small businesses finding it increasingly difficult to secure financing, it is important to support woman entrepreneurs more than ever," said Amy Hall, director of social consciousness at Eileen Fisher. "We've heard past recipients tell us the check arrived just as their business was moving to the next level and the grant has been a bridge to their future success."
DYNAMIC DUO: Dsquared2 designers Dan and Dean Caten brought double the love to Hollywood last week when W magazine threw them a party at the Chateau Marmont. "I was like, 'I heart you guys,' and they're like, 'We heart you,'" said Sophia Bush, who met the duo earlier this year. "We kind of fell in love with each other." Lindsay Lohan added, "They're great guys, and they're, like, really loving and sweet and very warm." The twins, clad in matching skinny ties, blazers and jeans, hope the rest of America begins to feel the same way. "We seem to be quite known in Europe. They don't really get us here yet," said Dan, who added that they plan to open stores in New York and Los Angeles. While some of the crowd, which included lovey-dovey couple Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Christina Aguilera, Mischa Barton and Zoe Saldana donned Dsquared2 duds, Lohan lamented that she "didn't get dresses in time."
Saldana, who chose a tuxedo-inspired pantsuit from the line, raved about the fit. "There's space for booty!" she said.
ICE AGE: "It's not raining for once, which is nice," said Paul Smith, who turned out on Tuesday night — with his grandchildren — for Tiffany & Co.'s annual party to open the winter ice rink at London's Somerset House. And while the late fall sky may have been clear, it was chilly outside, and guests including Marie Helvin, Jade Parfitt, Pippa Middleton, Isabella Calthorpe, Melissa Odabash and Tanya Bryer sipped mulled wine and Champagne in the cobblestone courtyard, where the temporary rink was set up. Emma Watson flipped the switch on the Christmas tree, which this year is decorated with Tiffany blue skating boots. "I'm not going on the ice," said Helvin with a laugh, perhaps not wanting to risk a fall in her immaculate Edward Sexton camel suit.

You can reset Single Bit Error (SBE) logging and clear Embedded System Management (ESM) logs using MPMemory which is bundled in Dell 32bit diagnostics.
The MPMemory command has to be run from bootable 32bit diagnostic media instead of from the utility partition.
· After booting to the diagnostic media you will see a menu asking if you want system diagnostics or MPMemory.
· At this point you can select 4 to quit the utility which will take you to a command prompt.
· When you reach the command prompt, type in the following command to reset SBE logging and clear the ESM logs:
o Mpmemory -ptech -tlogclr
· You will get a screen like this indicating that you have cleared the SBE and ESM logs.
If a reboot is not a viable option at this point there is a way to re-enable the error count/SBE logging from within Windows.
Note: Clearing the ESM and alert logs alone does not re-enable SBE logging.
To do this, you need to use the dcidfg32.exe utility.
· From within Windows, open a command prompt.
· Run dir /s dcicfg32.exe (In some versions of Open Manage, this is located at c:\program files\dell\openmanage\omsa\bin\. In others, it is located at c:\program files\dell\sysmgt\omsa\bin\.)
· Change the directory to that folder using the cd <path to folder>

Barbara Kertesz Nemeth
Born: March 2, 1911
Hodmezovasarhely, Hungary
Barbara and her younger sister, Alice, were born to a Jewish family in the town of Hodmezovasarhely in southeastern Hungary. Barbara married Desider Nemeth, a dentist, and the couple settled in the town of Szentes, not far from the city of Szeged.
1933-39: In 1932 I gave birth to a daughter, Maria. I've been busy trying to find a suitable house for us that would double as an office for my husband. I do a lot of volunteer work. I have taken in a young Austrian woman who lives with us and helps us to perfect our German.
1940-44: It's been five months since German troops occupied Hungary in March 1944. My family and I were among thousands of Jews deported to a makeshift ghetto in Szeged's Rokus sports field and brickyards. Most of the people there were children and the elderly, or women whose husbands had been forcibly conscripted into army labor brigades. A month ago, we were sent by train, via the Strasshof labor camp, to a labor camp in the east Austrian farming village of Goestling an der Ybbs.
In April 1945 Barbara and her family were shot to death in Goestling an der Ybbs by retreating SS soldiers, just days before U.S. forces reached the area. Barbara was 34.

Two Women Sentenced To Prison Terms For Their Roles In $1.3 Million Mortgage Fraud-Defendants Among Five People Convicted In Related Schemes-
WASHINGTON – Orpel Tucker, 44, of Washington, D.C., and Tania Firmani, 46, of Brooms Island, Md., have been sentenced to prison terms for their roles in a mortgage fraud scheme which cost mortgage lenders more than $1.3 million.
Tucker was sentenced on May 16, 2013 to a 37-month prison term and Firmani was sentenced today to 15 months of incarceration. Both appeared before the Honorable Reggie B. Walton in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The sentences were announced by U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr., Gary R. Barksdale, Inspector in Charge, Washington Division, U.S. Postal Inspection Service; Joseph W. Clarke, Special Agent in Charge of the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Valerie Parlave, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and William P. White, Commissioner of the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking.
Tucker pled guilty in October 2010 to two charges: conspiracy to commit bank and mail fraud, and wire fraud. In addition to the prison term, Judge Walton ordered her to pay more than $1.3 million in restitution. He also signed a forfeiture order in the amount of $1.3 million. Upon completion of her prison term, Tucker will be placed on three years of supervised release.
Firmani pled guilty in July 2010 to conspiracy to commit bank and mail fraud. In addition to the prison term, Judge Walton ordered her to pay more than $1.3 million in restitution. Upon completion of her prison term, Firmani will be placed on three years of supervised release.
According to the statements of offense signed at the plea hearings, from September 2005 to April 2008, Tucker and Firmani, with the assistance of others, defrauded banks and other lenders of money through false statements and misrepresentations.
Tucker, Firmani, and others used about 20 residential real estate transactions to fraudulently obtain mortgage loans of over $7.5 million. Loan documents in support of these mortgages listed false employers and false salaries for the buyers, exaggerated the assets available to the buyers to pay back the loans and make cash contributions, and incorrectly listed the buyers' intent to occupy the houses. The appraisals misrepresented the conditions of the homes, greatly enhancing the appraised prices, and by doing so, raising the amount of loans which the lenders were willing to extend.
During the settlement of the sales transactions, thousands of lender dollars were siphoned off through fake "renovation" invoices and misrepresentations on the settlement documents. Through this process, Tucker fraudulently obtained approximately $1.1 million, even though she was not the seller on any of the properties. Tucker used some of this money to pay for the assistance of others in the conspiracy, to share with a co-conspirator who brought her into the scheme, and to pay for bogus "down payments" for the buyers.
After closing, the co-conspirators failed to pay the mortgages on many of the properties. The lenders were forced to foreclose and resell the properties at a loss of over $1.3 million.
Firmani acted as the settlement agent in most of these transactions. She also assisted others in their mortgage schemes, including Akinola George, who was sentenced to 40 months in prison, and LaFrances Dudley O'Neal, who is pending sentencing after a jury trial.
George, 44, of Washington, D.C., pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and mail fraud. George was involved in 22 property sales and foreclosures cost those mortgage lenders $2 million. O'Neal, 49, of Clinton, Md., was found guilty by a jury of conspiracy and bank fraud charges. She was involved with seven real estate properties, with fraudulently obtained mortgages, all of which fell into foreclosure with a loss in excess of $950,000.
Another defendant, Donald Ramsey, 46, of Alexandria, Va., pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and bank fraud and is to be sentenced Aug. 2, 2013.He acted as a loan broker for O'Neal for some of her seven properties.
In announcing the sentences, U.S. Attorney Machen, Inspector in Charge Barksdale, Special Agent in Charge Clarke, Assistant Director in Charge Parlave and Commissioner White praised those who worked on the case from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - Office of Inspector General, the FBI's Washington Field Office, the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities, and Banking, and the Metropolitan Police Department. They also acknowledged the efforts of those who worked on the case from the U.S. Attorney's Office, including: Forensic Accountant Crystal Boodoo; Paralegal Specialists Donna Galindo, Diane Hayes, Shanna Hays; former Paralegal Specialist Sarah Reis, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane Lucas in the Asset Forfeiture Section. Finally, he acknowledged the work of Assistant U.S. Attorney Virginia Cheatham, who investigated and prosecuted the cases.

I've recently decided to sell off some of my vinyl on discogs. Most of it predictably has a market value of about £.0.20, but there are occasional curveballs. For instance, apparently this record (which I'll be listing as soon as I find it!) sells for over £100 (someone paid over £150 for it once??).
What's that all about? I can only guess that some huge name DJ played it in a recorded set, and then all the "track id??????!!!" crew inflate the price to ridiculous proportions. Here's hoping Ricardo Villalobos starts dropping Doubledown records sometime soon.


text: Dairy Talk: Why Reform Is So Hard November 1, 2011 06:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email At first glance, Sen. Bob Casey's (D-Pa.) dairy reform package, the Dairy Advancement Act, seems like a commonsense compromise for dairy policy reform. Besides Federal Orders reform and more mandatory price reporting by processors, the package offers producers a choice: Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) payments or Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy Cattle insurance (LGM-Dairy). Heck, even processors are singing its praises. "We applaud Sen. Casey's inclusion of critically needed risk management tools, particularly his call for an expansion of the LGM-Dairy program. ... LGM-Dairy is the type of program that our government should encourage," says Connie Tipton, president and CEO of the International Dairy Foods Association. Bonus Content H.R. 3062, The Dairy Security Act of 2011 Upon further review, the devil is in the down-and-dirty. Producers who choose the LGM-Dairy provision under Casey's bill would be eligible for insurance subsidies for the first 3 million pounds of annual production, with a $1.50 deductible. Like MILC, starting next Sept. 1, that would offer a safety net for the first 150 cows in a herd. The problem, of course, is that herds larger than that get only partial coverage—and yet these larger herds produce in excess of 75% of the milk in this country. The National Milk Producers Federation's Foundation for the Future (FFTF) program, embodied in the Dairy Security Act, offers margin insurance to herds of all sizes provided they agree to production limits in times of tight margins. The FFTF production limits are needed to rein in the cost of the program. Casey's bill limits costs by limiting coverage to the first 150 cows. FFTF offers a safety net to everyone. Cooperatives recognize that the MILC program leaves some 75% of milk production unprotected—a huge risk for producers and milk cooperatives alike. If federal spending wasn't an issue, crafting the perfect dairy policy would be easy. But deficit spending is the biggest problem this country faces. That's what makes dairy policy so darn hard.

Kelley from Littlemissmk has this darling blog here. She makes some darling fun projects. How much do you love this first photo of her little girl in her "big girl room"? Priceless! She made this darling "small quilt" here, love this idea! And this sweet post about her Grandma and a quilt she made with her, love it! Be sure to check her out, great little corner of the blogosphere.
Macy turned three and we decided to re-do her room. Her room had been very gender-neutral (ie- boy) because before she was born we decided not to find out if she was a boy or a girl. So it was time for a change. There is no denying it- Mace is very very girly. Very pro-pastels. So when I thought about making her a big girl bed quilt I wanted it to scream girl so I could always remember just how pinkalicious she was at age 3.
I used this Folksy Flannel fabric that I love. It is so so so soft. I never really sew with flannel but the few times I have I've thought "why don't I sew with this more often?..." Macy insisted that the dominant color of the quilt be pink (shocking,) so I chose brick shot cotton and I think it goes pretty well. Its woven with pink and orange threads and it has a pretty orange shimmer in the sunlight (Alton, if you are reading this I know you are rolling your eyes. Go with it. And thanks for reading my blog.:)I used this wonderful hexagon quilt-along tutorial. It is super clearly written and I was so happy to find it online- for free- what you can't find online these days...I really wanted to work in this Alice in Wonderland fabric. Its actually a robe from a fabric designer that makes PJ's as well. My girl has quite the Alice obsession. So I worked her in to be falling down the center of the quilt- down the rabbit hole I guess. When I finished the quilt I wasn't super pleased with how the pale blue Alices looked against the other bright fabrics, but such is life.I included a bit of his yellow shirt to remind her of how much he loved her.
I made a label for the quilt as well and sewed it to the back- my first label, I think. I hesitated posting it because its syrupy sweet and might make you think I'm overly sappy. And I guess I am when it comes to my girl, so I'm posting it anyway... Of course I couldn't have completed this quilt all myself. I had major help again. Lori helped me work out a few (tons) of my headaches. And then she even hand bound the quilt when I was done. Just to be kind. I know, I'm lucky.I updated her bulletin board with matchy-matchy fabric and new pictures of family and friends we love. Helps us remember them in our prayers- seeing them right above her bed. Also found a sweet Alice print and made some fun flowers from this Martha tutorial to make it feel a little more golden afternoon-ish. I go back and forth between thinking the flowers are cute and then cheesy, but they took me more time than you would think so for now I'm sticking with cute...A few days before her birthday and before I had done the big room re-do, she was talking about her favorite topic- Disney movies. I asked her "Who is your favorite, Mace?" She looked at me and without missing a beat said "Mulan, Mama." Interesting. So naturally I pretended I didn't hear her and changed the subject.This is her fake sleeping while I snapped pictures. The fake snoring was pretty comical. Goodnight, miss Mulan.
