Pity poor
Silvio Berlusconi. Not because Italy is being sucked into a slow-motion economic car crash, or because he has become a laughing stock among his fellow European leaders – the real hammer blow to the Italian prime minister is that the release of his latest album has been put on ice.
The former cruise-ship warbler, who once serenaded Tony and Cherie Blair as he recovered from a hair transplant, has written the lyrics to 11 songs on the album II Vero Amore (True Love).
Inspired by a subject infamously close to his heart, the forever-youthful 75-year-old was looking forward to a lavish launch party last month in his home city of Milan.
But it has emerged that, with ominous economic storm clouds refusing to budge, the much-anticipated release of Mr Berlusconiâs third batch of ballads, set to the music of former parking attendant Mariano Apicella, has been postponed indefinitely.
In a tantalising glimpse of what the Italian public is missing, La Stampa newspaper published a sneak preview of one of the trackâs lyrics â which urges the object of the singerâs desire to âundress yourselfâ and listen to the song âwhen you thirst for caressesâ.
The paperâs readers were not united in their dismay at being denied the lyrics penned by Mr Berlusconi, who has been linked to numerous women and even boasted he was âprime minister in my spare timeâ.
One reader commented: âBerlusconi is becoming an artist too autobiographical, so it seems.â
Musical arranger and songwriter Angelo Valsiglio, who helped put the tracks together, said: âIt is a very elegant and refined album.â
When heâs not writing love ballads and battling to deal with Italyâs debt crisis, Mr Berlusconi is also on trial for allegedly paying for sex with an under-age prostitute at one of his notorious âbunga bungaâ parties.

Weight Management
: The Morning Light May Help You Stay Slim
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, April 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Spending time in the bright morning light may help you slim down, new research suggests.
The small study found that people exposed to more light earlier, rather than later, in the day tended to be leaner than their peers.
"We were very interested in looking at the relationship between lighting and how that may be affecting your weight," explained study senior author Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the sleep disorders center at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
"This is an early study, but we did indeed see a fairly robust association between the amount of light and the timing of light, and weight," noted Zee. However, she was quick to point out that the study only found an association between early light exposure and lower weight, not a cause-and-effect link.
The study included 54 adults. Twenty-six were male, and the average age was 31. A special monitoring device -- worn on the wrist -- measured light exposure, sleep mid-point and duration of sleep for seven days.
Weight and height were self-reported. The researchers calculated body mass index (BMI) from those self-reported measurements. BMI is a rough estimate of a person's body fat. The participants also kept food logs during the seven days they wore the monitoring device.
Zee said the strongest association was seen in people exposed to light that was at least 500 lux, which is the equivalent of a well-lit indoor room. Outside on a sunny day provides 1,000 lux or higher, while most indoor rooms are about 200 to 250 lux, according to Zee.
But, the timing of the light also mattered. Those who were exposed to brighter light earlier in the day were the slimmest.
"For every hour later in the day that you reach 500 lux that translates to an increase of 1.28 BMI. The earlier the light exposure, the lower the BMI," said Zee.
There are a number of ways light might influence weight. One is by altering circadian rhythms -- the body's internal time clock -- to allow for better sleep. Morning light might also affect hormones that influence appetite regulation and metabolism, Zee said.
Even after the researchers controlled for other potentially slimming factors such as caloric intake, sleep duration/timing and the possibility that people getting early light exposure might be more active, light exposure still seemed to account for 20 percent of BMI, according to the researchers.
Does that mean people who live in sunnier climates would be thinner than their colder counterparts? Maybe, said Zee, though they didn't include such a comparison in the current study. "People tend to lose more weight in the summer, when you're getting more light earlier in the day," she added.
Zee recommended between 20 minutes and 30 minutes of bright morning light between 8 a.m. and noon.
"Whenever possible, be exposed to early light," she said. "Walk to work if you can. Bright, outdoor light will be way above the 500 lux. If you can't get outside, work near a window. If you can't get near a window, at least make sure your work environment is well-lit," Zee added.
Jaclyn London is senior clinical dietician at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. She said that the "researchers raise an interesting question, but the study is very small and relied on self-reporting of diet and weight. There was no study intervention either, so they weren't able to prove causality," London noted.
"However, I do think there's some evidence here to suggest that the impact of light may influence metabolic changes and possibly play a role in BMI. And, with 67 percent of Americans being overweight or obese, it's certainly an intervention worth looking at," London said.
The study was published April 2 in the journal PLOS One.

Learn everything about DCUO's upcoming DLC 9: War of the Light. Players will also finally get Armories to save loadouts.
This game is really awesome and FTP. I have this on PC and PS4 and I have to say that I'm really impressed with it. I play it for hours on end in between my Battlefield 4 sessions lol. Pretty cool indeed.
This game is the reason I bought a Playstation 3. I bought the collectors edition and everything. I enjoyed it for a while, but I was largely disappointed overall. I downloaded it for Playstation 4 and I have been looking for a reason to play it again. The Red Lanterns are it. I can't wait.

In today's digital world, fast decision making is king, and banks are finding that being able to automate their operations is a critical tool in competing for more market share. The ability to price loans, create risk profiles and make approval decisions at the drop of a hat is becoming key, and manual processes, the need to rekey data and the use of outdated technology like spreadsheets are falling by the wayside.
"Often, back offices have thousands of people processing customer requests," wrote McKinsey researchers Joao Dias, Debasish Patnaik, Enrico Scopa and Edwin van Bommel. "This high degree of manual processing is costly and slow, and it can lead to inconsistent results and a high error rate."
This issue of error-prone manual processes is forcing banks to look for solutions that will meet their needs efficiently, effectively and quickly so that they can remain competitive in the marketplace – and fintech automation tools offer the answer.
Why automate?
Being able to react quickly and successfully to changing regulations and trends is one of the most important goals of today's finance industry. According to Sean Park, the founder, chairman and CIO at a New York-based venture-capital firm called Anthesis Group, automation in banking is a response to the newer generation's propensity for technology and automated tools.
"[U]biquitous mobile computing, an exponential growth in data, and continuous advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence will transform finance into an always-on, algorithmically driven industry," Park told Business Insider.
There are several key benefits given to banks that can harness the power of fintech automation. The McKinsey researchers reported that if banks take full advantage of the digital approach, productivity levels in the back office and in customer service capacities may increase by as much as 50 percent. In addition, much smaller operating units can perform value-adding tasks like deal origination and financial reviews. The incorporation of data into back-office processes becomes easier, and this alone will change how organizations operate.
The trend toward banks becoming more automated – and using tools like DealPoint to make the loan approval process faster and smarter – is something that the experts at Brilliance Financial Technology are very familiar with. Brilliance, which was named one of the top 10 finance and technology solutions providers in 2016 by CFO Magazine, knows how to help banks transform their operations to take advantage of new technologies and automation tools. For instance, DealPoint allows banks to automate pricing decision once a certain threshold is met, allowing for faster time of decision and reducing the need for manual reviews.

Last Friday, I did my first official cake for Ms Debbie's Sugar Art! She hired me to decorate cakes back in January, but because of the number of cakes on order, she said she probably wouldn't need me until the end of February. However, a friend of mine ordered a cake last weekend and requested that I be the decorator!
I was so excited to make this cake because...
1. It was my first cake for Ms Debbie!
2. It was for a friend!
3. It was going to be a carved running shoe. Running! Yay!
4. Wait, a carved shoe? Yikes...sounds tricky...but I love a challenge!
I started out with a rectangle of cake (torted and filled, of course) and began carving away a little at a time. Luckily, I was wearing my own running shoes that day so I kept looking down at my feet to get the shape right. In about an hour, I had a shoe shape. Then, I spent the next 5 hours decorating it! Yea, that's a ridiculous amount of time. But I really wanted my first cake for Ms Debbie to look good, you know!?
Anyway, I'm thrilled with how it came out:
Happy Birthday, Jeannette!

Category Packaging Opportunities: Non-Alcoholic Drinks - Identifying pack formats and features that make a brand worth paying more for
Opportunities in the Western Europe Wine Sector: Analysis of opportunities offered by high-growth economies
National Beverage Corp. (AMEX:FIZ) today announced it has received final regulatory approvals to purchase the carbonated beverage operations and certain assets of Beverage Canners International, Inc. ("BCI"), including the Ritz® and Crystal Bay(TM) brands and a multi-line beverage manufacturing facility located in Miami, Florida. The cash purchase will close early next week. "We intend to move quickly to integrate BCI into National Beverage's current operating structure," stated Nick A. Caporella, chairman and chief executive officer. "The potential of this acquisition through its direct-store-delivery system gives our high margin brands great exposure in a high consumption demographic... within a strong soft-drink climate," Caporella continued. "While our core beverage brands continue to outperform the typical carbonated soft-drink growth and our soon to be released first quarter results are reflective of that performance...we strongly believe that our financial strength and earnings potential are not fully recognized in the valuation of our market capitalization," concluded Caporella. National Beverage is a holding company for various operating subsidiaries that market, manufacture and distribute its full line of beverage products: Shasta®, Faygo® and Big Shot®, multi-flavored and cola soft drinks; Everfresh®, Home Juice® and Mr. Pure®, a full line of juice and juice-enriched products; LaCROIX® and ClearFruit®, flavored carbonated and spring water products; and specialty items, VooDoo Rain(TM) and St. Nick's(TM). The Company has 15 strategically located manufacturing facilities in the USA.

"Pemumbra" refers to that portion of shadow - next to the darkest part - wherein some diffused light does reach. Spiritually, that is where we are in relation the wisdom, knowledge and consciousness of the Living Cosmos. Penumbra was originally formed as a study partnership - a league of seekers who share research results into the esoteric and occult. These pages are an introduction to the results of those studies to date, and an open invitation to correspond with me. I post these for anyone looking into similar things.
Penumbra is not a school of magical training. It is not a path. I follow no single tradition. Penumbra is, then, the compilation of bits and pieces I've assimilated from myriad sources.
That which has been called "magic" I define as something we all do daily, though most of us have no knowledge of it whatsoever. We all do it, because we live within a creative system that responds to our Will,Mentation, Passion and Actions.
The ways in which we participate in the on-going creation process, for that is what "magic" is, building our futures for good or ill, is at the heart of Penumbra. Learning those processes and developing the necessary levels of consciousness to undertake the business of creating futures according to plan and will is at the heart of what has been called "magic", but ought to be called "spiritual development".
Feel free to contact me at the Email address provided.

Penumbra - the website - is being helped along for FREE by the wonderful folks at Equinox9 Web design and Development We will soon end up on a different server. I'll email the MLOJ leaders with the info on the new web address.

Hi everyone - I've recently been introduced to high-quality Chinese loose leaf teas - thanks to the two wonderful tea shops in San Francisco, Red Blossom Tea & Song Tea. With my first sip of white tea meizhan (cold brewed), I was hooked. Previously, I thought I was drinking high-quality tea bags with the Mariage Freres but nothing beats a flavorful fruity creamy Formosa oolong or smoky aged TGY. I'd also like to take a moment for the amazing tea shop owners and staff - who take the time to share their passion and knowledge about tea - how it's harvested, its qualities and tips on brewing. The pleasant educational process has been so much fun for me - and really insightful and helped me be courageous enough to replicate the process at home (to varying degrees of success but it's fun to keep on trying!)
I've recently been introduced to my first longjing tea (dangerous for my wallet, for sure!) and sparingly drinking my small stash to make it last as long as possible. Otherwise, I'll grab whatever tea that fits my mood. Since I've been introduced to tea (for about a month) - I've largely given up coffee, which is kinda shocking to me because I've drank a cup of coffee every morning, but not usually more than one cup though. These days, I wake up and trying to determine what kind of tea day the morning feels like - and I enjoy using my gaiwan or tea pot to brew myself a few cups of tea - like a meditation almost, a great way to jumpstart the day.
In any case - I am excited to be joining this new world of tea and i really enjoy reading the TeaChat bulletin board. Thank you for sharing your wisdom - much appreciated by this newbie!

...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Mobile Commerce Surpasses Desktop Purchases
The time has come for retailers to rethink their mobile commerce strategies. According to the H1 2016 State of Mobile Commerce Report out today from Criteo, mobile commerce is surpassing desktop purchasing as mobile devices are beginning to dominate the commerce landscape.
Some of the findings include:
- For the first time ever, the leading 25 percent of mobile retailers saw 50 percent of sales from mobile.
- Apps drive a larger percentage of shoppers down the purchase funnel and convert at three times the rate of mobile web.
- Marketers with the best mobile sites and apps take a significantly larger share of mobile transactions.
Retailers that have optimized their mobile shopping experience accordingly—both in-app and on mobile—are seeing strong traction from consumers:
- In H1 2016, the top U.S. retailers grew mobile sales by 30 percent year-over-year to now capture 52 percent of all e-commerce transactions.
- Across all U.S. retailers, mobile share of e-commerce transactions increased by 17 percent year-over-year.
- Fashion and Luxury retailers pulled ahead of the pack in Q2 2016 with over 40 percent of e-commerce transactions taking place on mobile, an increase of 17 percent over Q2 2015.
As e-commerce sales continue their meteoric growth and mobile continues to grab a larger market share, retailers must capitalize on this rapidly evolving trend or risk losing sales and customers if they wait too long. Here are five suggestions for retailers to make to their mobile strategies to evolve with the mobile commerce trends.
Fix issues that cause shopping cart abandonment
From unexpected shipping charges to long checkout processes, there are myriad reasons why customers abandon shopping carts. Retailers that make sure their mobile checkout is usable and trustworthy will see sales and profits rise.
Add buy buttons on social sites
While some experts claim it will take a while for consumers to get accustomed to making purchases through social, it likely won't take long before they're on board. As consumers will continuously expect greater ease, not wanting to leave Facebook to make purchases from an ad in their newsfeeds, it might make sense to get into the game test out a buy button.
Reach customers when and where they want to be contacted
Consumers expect to engage anytime and anywhere with brands. The time has come to optimize your omnichannel retailing strategy to effectively reach the connected customer.
Create a smooth transition between channels
Today's customer experience is dynamic, with a customer journey proceeding over multiple devices and channels. With mobile now being one of the most critical channels in the journey, retailers must ensure smooth and seamless transitions between mobile, bricks and mortar, Web, and contact center. This starts with ensuring the IT and marketing teams that oversee these areas are all working together.
Offer retail-branded mobile wall
With Apple Pay taking over many consumers' small screens and Android Pay hitting the ground running, retailers have been forced to hustle up their mobile payments adoption to benefit the new, digitally-savvy shopper. Those that do should have the ability to send real-time deals to consumers in the vicinity.
Offer a highly personalized experience
Personalization isn't a new concept, yet many marketers quickly delve into mobile, before thinking about creating relevant and personalized experiences. The more that retailers can enable customized and relevant experiences for the small screen, the stickier the experience will become.
What's in store for mobile commerce?

I love your card and how you made the paper look like ribbon – cool look!
Simon Says Stamp – Nutty Over You – October Kit
I decided to play the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge and use the October kit that I had gotten and not been able to touch because of my family and their incessant demands to be driven hither and thither. The oldest is relearning to drive now, though, and I'm not sure what's more harrowing. Once she gets a car and can drive herself, I'm not sure it will be any less harrowing.
At any rate, the kit is already sold out, but the separate components are still obtainable! I love the squirrels in this set and decided to make them the stars of my card. The challenge is a sketch challenge, and it was fun!This is the sketch:
And this is what I did with it! Lookie:
STINKIN' CUTE! I love the Lawn Fawn Perfect Plaid paper that came with the kit so I chose one of the patterns I hadn't used yet. I decided to do something different by stamping the images then adding shading and highlights with Prismacolor pencils.
The squirrels, for instance, were stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink then I added the shading and highlights with three different colors of Prismacolors. There are no matching dies, and I didn't feel like firing up the Silhouette for two small images, so I fussy cut them out and popped them over the top of the die cut circle that was stamped with the other images/words. I loved the acorns that came with the kit, and I added one on the right side with a bow of baker's twine.
I wanted to stick to Simon dies, and I was having a hard time coming up with something to use for the long piece under the focal mat. I could have just cut a strip of paper, but I wanted something different. I finally settled on using this small banner from the Stitched Die Bundle and just layering up multiples of them. I also added loops of baker's twine on the left side of the focal piece just to break up the plaid a bit.
I added a couple of enamel dots to fill out the rest of the sketch.
So cute! I love it!

Chasing the Phantom Ship
|June 14, 2016
|Posted by admin under Adventure, Canadian, Children's Lit, Young Readers
Written by Deborah Toogood
Published by Nimbus Publishing
Reviewed by Christa McGrath
Publication Date: April 2016
Matt is not too keen to have his younger cousin, Adam, join him for a 2-week visit before school starts. He just wants to spend his remaining summer holidays with this two friends–Danny and Emma–exploring and hanging out on the beach. When Matt and Adam are stranded on a sandbar one night they witness an unusual sighting. Matt's ambivalence towards his cousin changes and together they join forces with Danny and Emma to solve the mystery of the phantom ship; and, in doing so, become local heroes.
This story is based in Nova Scotia and the adventure takes place on the Northumberland Strait, making it of particular interest to Maritimers. All the characters were typical, believable and likable. The story touches a little on a ghost and a phantom ship, but it is a convincing tale especially if you are aware of the history of the ghost ship of the Northumberland Strait. The author does a great job telling the story from the voice of an eleven-year-old boy. If you really pay attention, you will notice the book comes full circle at the end when Matt is given a special gift (this was one of my favorite parts of the story).
The book is extremely well written and very descriptive. Readers will be easily entrenched in the plot and will feel like they are a part of the adventure. The book is 128 pages and is divided into 35 chapters. The story has an easy ebb and flow pace which makes it ideal for reading the entire book in one sitting. Young readers between the ages of 8 and 12 will enjoy reading about Matt and his friends and their quest to unravel the ghostly encounter.
I surprisingly enjoyed reading Chasing the Phantom Ship and give it a 2 thumbs up.

Sharing two beaded events with a Ukrainian theme, but universal appeal. The first is the "Gerdan – Talisman of Triumph" in Chicago on the left. Then taking the presentation about it to Ukraine on the right. Since the exhibit in Kyiv was titled "Beads. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.", it was a fitting place to share my beadwork research and fashion show photos. The audience of participating designers and enthusiasts loved the eye candy and stories.
#55 – Gerdan-Talisman of Triumph in Chicago, Bead exhibit in Kyiv, TBS BEadFabulous
As I'm preparing for the big Gerdan Talisman of Triumph in Chicago, there are many interesting events related to beadwork adornments happening around the world. I'm sharing a few that caught my eye.
Hope you can take part in some upcoming event. If not, be inspired and join in spirit. Looking forward to connecting. Happy beading.
#54 – Dukachi exhibit, Beads: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Loomwork and upcoming Gerdany events.
The new year started off great!! My winter trip to Ukraine was perfectly timed to catch the tail end of the Christmas and Epiphany celebrations. Here are a few beading-related highlights, though there was much more… I'm also sharing the results of my very favorite TBS event, the Bag of Bead Challenge.
Hope your year has started off on a creative note, too. There are all sorts of special interest groups to enrich your experiences. Join one, take a class… Enjoy!
#53 – Beadwork & zgardy in Ukraine, TBS Bead Challenge-Canada 150, upcoming Gerdany event
It's been a busy year with beading, touring, researching, playing with new Czech shapes and doing a few bead shows. But now my heart is set on finally writing the ancestry portion of my uncle's autobiography. I've already got my tickets to Ukraine this January. I enjoy playing history detective between beading projects.
#52 – Chihuly Exhibit, Enamel art and beads, finds, Winter brooches
Back home after the last bead show for 2016. It is always great to see the amazing work done by the other vendors. I am impressed by the creativity of a young group of beaders in Ukraine.
You can see how learning the basics of beadweaving and lots of playing with beads can result is some amazing creations. So dig out some beads and play. Happy Beading!!!
#51 – Inspiring beaders, big and small, retiring kits discount code and downloadable patterns.
With this 50th issue I am celebrating the innovations and creativity of my students and designers who took my published beadwork instructions to a new level. Since I began teaching in 1995, I've met many amazing individuals and enjoy seeing and sharing their creativity. Here are a few original interpretations of my patterns to further inspire you to bead.
Back issues of the newsletter since January 2013 are available on my website.
Thank you to my sample-maker and newletter editor Jo-Ann Woolverton for helping start, write and edit these newslettters for the last 3 years. Together we present our collaborative 50th issue of the newletter.

Special request to help celebration my upcoming 50th issue.

Something different for a change!! Here's a few stories from a recent visit to the Upper Midwest Bead Society (UMBS), a well established group in Minneapolis. I'm grateful to Tia Wilke for recommending me to teach and do a presentation at the monthly meeting.
As you can see, here are a lot of success stories about teaching new beadweaving techniques, broadening color palettes and sensibilities and learning finishing tips. All it takes is some good instructions, imagination and voila!
#48 – stories from teaching at UMBS Minneapolis; upcoming classes & show
Just back from a very productive trip to Ukraine which started with a conference, presentations, workshops, museum tours, and loads of family genealogy work. There was so much that I'll highlight just a few of the earlier events which brought me to Ukraine.
Next month I'll share more about what's new at the Vernissage and my visit to mentor at the beadwork workshops at Dzherelo Rehabilitation Center and L'Arche community in Lviv. I'll also show some unique museums full of folk art treasures.
#46 – Pysanka Museum presentation; Folk Arts Conference; +Ewhenia Genyk retrospective
It's been a wild spring here! I've been working hard to get ready for my next trip to Ukraine in a week. I've had the pleasure of doing a loomwork series and learn the secret of beading rosettes.
#45 – Loomwork Series; Rosettes and upcoming Pysanka Museum presentation
Here are some highlights form my beading cruise with Amy of i-bead. I'm very pleased because I really did try new techniques which were out of my comfort zone. All of a sudden 15/0 seed beads are not so tiny! Bead embroidery is fun! Wilder and craziers fringes and twigs are better.
#44 – Beading Panama Cruise stories; upcoming Creativ Festival
Can't believe how time is flying and my two-week Beading Cruise through the Panama Canal starts Mar 15th. Looking forward to new experiences and beady friends. Should have interesting photos from the cruise in the next newsletter.

The start of a new year is a time to look back, but also a time to try something new or different. This month I have an amazing piece done by a student using simple technique in her own way. I have been working with some of the new shaped and multi-holed beads. What are you working on in 2016?
#41 – Ukrainian Honeycomb Net; Versatile Diagonal Weave; Creative Challenges
It is great to be back home after my trip to Ukraine.

Closer to home, fall is about local bead fairs and
the pursuit of new skills to know how to play with
all those new beads just (or about to be) purchased.
#27 – Corning Glass Museum
September is "Back to School" month. For
BIG KIDS it's a perfect time to embrace Continuing

a visit to the Corning Glass Museum, NY, and now I'm
in Toronto playing with seed and pressed beads.
#26 – Continuing Czech Glass
Thanks to Adela Kodonova's invitation to visit the

|Review: Negura Bunget - Virstele Pamintului
|Virstele Pamintului
Label: Aural Music
Year released: 2010
Duration: 59:37
Tracks: 9
Genre: Black Metal
Rating: 4/5
Review online: November 10, 2010
Reviewed by: Lior "Steinmetal" Stein
for:Virstele Pamintului
Rated 4.27/5 (85.33%) (15 Votes)
Negura Bunget is probably one of the most harmonic and unique Black Metal bands to date. Bands that creatively use so many elements from the worlds of Folk and Avant-Garde Metal are truly hard to find. Similar to, yet much finer than the old Norwegian style, Negura Bunget unleash their Black Metal via the new album Virstele Pamintului.
Actually, Negura Bunget gave us two wintery albums this year, Virstele Pamintului, reviewed here, and Maiestrit. Both albums are marked by the same distinctive sound as the band's previous material. Despite the lyrics being sung in Romanian, the band's affinity for nature comes through clearly. They combine their top-notch writing skills with percussion, pan flute, xylophone, kaval, tulnic, keyboards and other Folk elements from their Transylvanian heritage. Negura Bunget amazed me with the extremeness of "Dacia Hiperborean?" and the melodies of "Chei De Rou?" and "Ochiul Inimii." Most of the songs on Virstele Pamintului are long but are well worth the investment in time.
The one thing that bugs me about Negura Bunget has to do with the production. I certainly wasn't expecting a modern job, but if you are going to go raw, do it right. The same mastering problems I've encountered on several releases this year crops up on Virstele Pamintului; phase resolution. It is a shame that, while trying to enjoy the atmosphere of Virstele Pamintului, this nagging problem sticks out like a sore thumb. A band like Negura Bunget, with their long experience in the music business, should have noticed something like this. There are also some inconsistencies with the volume of the rhythm and lead guitars.
Although there are some problems, the magic of Negura Bunget is there, alive and kicking, evil to one side, the tenderness of nature to the other. Hopefully they will try English in the future and open up their music to even more fans.

Welcome 2 South Luncheon
Room: Fellowship Hall
Leader: Pastor David Coplin
For those who are new to South Meridian, we offer two excellent opportunities to delve into the South family. Both are designed to help us get more acquainted with each other. The first opportunity is the Welcome 2 South Luncheon, which we hold two to three times a year. This luncheon, held immediately following the morning worship service, has a simple agenda: make new friends. During the meal we pair our newcomers up with our various pastors, staff, and elders to enjoy food provided by our hospitality team.
Welcome 2 South Sunday School Class
Leader: Pastor David Coplin
The second opportunity is the three-week-long Welcome 2 South Sunday School class, which is kicked off the week following each Luncheon. During these weeks we dive into the nitty-gritty of what the South family is all about, give opportunities to ask important questions, and take time to learn more about each other. Please contact Pastor David Coplin if you are interested in either the Luncheon or the Sunday School class.

Royal Mail Closures
Royal Mail is proposing to close three major mail centres at Reading, Gloucester and Coventry. This would probably involve compulsory redundancies. From an environmental point of view this is a lunacy since it would mean mail from the three centres being sent to Swindon, Bristol and Northampton and then back.
The CWU isopposing the closures. Swindon Trades Union Council has written to the CWU expressing its support for them. Our letter is reproduced below.
To the CWU
Dear Comrades
Swindon Trades Union Council at its meeting yesterday discussed the proposed closure of Royal Mail centres at Reading, Gloucester and Coventry. As the 'receiving' town with the prospect of extra jobs we could take a selfish point of view. However, that would be completely unprincipled, at the expense of workers losing their jobs in three centres.
Moreover, from an environmental point of view, the idea of workers and mail travelling from Reading to Swindon (and back), Gloucester to Bristol, and Coventry to Northampton, is sheer lunacy, adding to environmental pollution at a time when we are supposed to be tackling the problem of global warming. I have already spoken to some people in the green/environmental movement who will support your opposition to the closures.
Undoubtedly, this proposal of Royal Mail is related to the liberalisation of the postal 'market' which the government has seen fit to push through. It is a cost-cutting measure which is directed at 'shaping up to meet the competition'. This so-called commercial environment is, of course, a threat to the universal service obligation and the Post Office as a public service. Whilst liberalisation originates from the European Union it fits neatly with the government's free market fundamentalism which has led it to introduce a 'market' in the NHS and privatisation and cuts throughout the public sector.
Obviously you will be discussing an industrial response to the threat of closure and of compulsory redundancies. We would like to offer our support in the wider public campaigning against these proposals which are socially and environmentally retrograde. Please let us know anything which you would want us to do in support of your struggle.
We will contact the Trades Councils in Bristol and Northampton, the other towns where distribution will be centralised and suggest we produce a joint statement, in support of the CWU and against the closures.

State Budget Harvesting Big Gains from Energy Production
One of the big changes in state government from the budget-slashing session in 2011 to the slightly more generous – but by no means big-spending – session in 2013 was the willingness of state leaders to dip into the Economic Stabilization Fund to fill some budget holes and begin work on big-ticket, long-neglected items.
And no wonder. Projections for future growth in the fund – almost universally known as the rainy day fund – show an escalation that would actually max out in a few years, all of it because of the boom in energy production and the income Texas gets from that production.
While it is still debatable whether the public needed to vote on November 6 to spend $2 billion on water development – it is the Legislature's job to make those calls – the fact is that with energy taxes pouring in, that $2 billion expenditure doesn't really put much of the dent in the fund's total
In 2014, voters will be asked to weigh in on another constitutional amendment – same argument as before about this not really something that should require amending the constitution – this time to put perhaps $1.5 billion into the state's cash-starved transportation system.
In both cases, experts in state finance suggest that the fund's balances will be more than healthy to rescue the state from financial disaster even with these expenditures. In part, that's because the state is, in a word, cheap about using the fund. In larger measure, though, it's because there's just a lot of money coming in.
The highway measure has a few wrinkles the water allocation didn't. Water was a one-time thing; a $2 billion fund to kick-start development projects and provide money for loans to local jurisdictions that need help in the face of the drought.
The transportation measure divides the energy tax money permanently, splitting it three ways between the state's general revenue, the rainy day fund and transportation. It provides a way for the Legislature to override the funding mechanism if fears arise that the rainy day fund isn't sufficiently well endowed. As the projects show, that isn't likely to be any time soon.
A detailed history of how and why we have the rainy day fund, and projections for its future growth, was released before the Proposition 6 election by the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association. It's posted on the Chamber's web site at http://arlingtontx.com/images/uploads/TTARA_1013_Rainy_Day_Fund.pdf

Duchy residents opposed to a swathe of possible new housing which may spoil the view at a cherished Harrogate beauty spot will have to wait a little longer for a decision from the planning inspector.
The site of the potential new development of 165 new homes is located in the western part of Harrogate at two large fields near Cornwall Road below the Pinewoods and Irongate field.
The Planning Committee of Harrogate Borough Council rejected the application earlier this year by the area's landowner the Duchy of Lancaster after protests from residents.
Rebecca Oliver, secretary of the Duchy Residents' Association, said: "There were more than 120 objections to this application from local people and organisations including the Civic Society, Residents' Associations and the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
"The reason people feel passionate about the site is that it is special – the footpath that cuts across the top end of the fields from Cornwall Road to Harlow Carr and Birk Crag is used by visitors and locals alike as a public right of way, and the open fields around it are what give the footpath its amenity value."
The 33-acre site is within a Special Landscape Area, and is adjacent to the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Birk Crag.
It is outside the current town development limit and was not identified as a preferred site for development in the last or the current draft Local Plan.
Landowners the Duchy of Lancaster decided to appeal the council's decision which led to the launch of a public hearing last week in front of the planning inspector at Harrogate Borough Council's Crescent Gardens headquarters.
It believes the possible development is simply a response to the National Planning Policy which calls for local planning authorities to demonstrate a good five-year supply of new housing.
Whichever way the verdict goes, the end of the process may still be weeks away. The six-day inquiry ended on Tuesday without a decision while the planning inspector deliberates further.
The Duchy Residents' Association says they recognise that more new housing is required but argue the green field sites in question are uniquely important to the town.
Rebecca Oliver said: "Harrogate has an affordability problem with housing but building on Special Landscape Areas such as this land is not the solution. We understand that many people are affected by the current boom in planning permissions being granted – over 3000 homes have already been given permission to be built just in the west of Harrogate.
"But this particular site is an asset for the whole town.

The last time I posted, I shared that I got some sewing done, and showed you progress of my Burda boy's trousers. Well, I proceeded to sew here and there the whole weekend long, and got all excited to see everything coming together only to have a setback Sunday evening--my daughter got sick!
So Monday, instead of sending two kids to school I only sent one. However, it has been working out just fine. I am still finding time to sew during my daughter's naptime, and that has helped me gain some progress. In fact, I only have the following to do:
* attach the waistband
* insert the zipper
* attach the belt loops
* put on the rivets (something I have never done before)
* sew the buttonhole
* hem the pants
It's a lot, but I am handling each part in small pieces. My husband says that I am a more pleasant person now that I am sewing again. I am not sure what that means, but I take it that sewing is still something that brings me joy, and it shows.
So, hang in there, as I hang in there, and I hope to show you some evidence of what I've been doing soon!!
Stay sew-filled!

15895 Golden View Drive, Anchorage
Fortunately, the number of foreclosed Anchorage homes is much lower than that of many other states and cities around the United States, indicating a resilient real estate market. However, there are still some foreclosures to be purchased in Anchorage, Alaska.
Each entity that is foreclosing has their own rules that have to be adhered to, and it isn't unusual to have multiple offers on some properties when they are attractively priced. With these complicating factors, it is in a buyer's best interest to have an experienced agent represent them in the often murky waters of foreclosures. Shop here for Anchorage foreclosed homes, and let us help you view the property and make an offer!
|All Listings
|Under $100,000
|$100,000 - $200,000
|$200,000 - $300,000

Think you are ready to purchase a foreclosed Anchorage home? Here are six tips from our real estate professionals to help you navigate the process.
#1 Budget Carefully - You might think that, because foreclosed homes are sometimes more aggressively priced, you don't need to budget. However, there are still costs associated with buying foreclosed Anchorage homes. For example, there may be extensive repairs, some that require expert help, and if you are planning to rent, you'll still need to make full monthly mortgage payments until you find a tenant. It is important to be sure you account for these and any other costs you might encounter.
#2 Look With Your Own Two Eyes - Although your trust in us is welcome, we strongly recommend that you go see the home yourself. If you are out-of-state and can't view the home yourself, send someone else - a friend or family member - to check out the home for you.
#3 Explore the Neighborhood - Location is the most important part of real estate. Buying a beautiful home in a less-than-beautiful neighborhood is a sure way to lose money - if you decide to sell in the future, you probably won't be able to recoup the cost of repairs due to the home's overall decreased value. Make sure you explore the neighborhood in the morning, afternoon, and at night to get a good idea of what kind of area it is.
#4 Think About Vacancy Length - If you're searching for a foreclosed Anchorage home, or any home really, think about how long it's been empty. If a home has been empty and/or on the market for some time, it's usually a good indicator of more significant damage to the home.
#5 Landscaping Matters - It's important to consider a foreclosed home's landscaping, and not just for aesthetic purposes. Some Anchorage foreclosed homes could have untrimmed trees and bushes that led to structural deterioration. Vines can creep into windows, rogue tree roots can weaken the foundation, and heavy branches can damage the roof.
#6 - Get the Home Inspected - Even if you have to pay out of pocket, get the home inspected! Any previous inspections should be disregarded - home inspections are a snapshot of the home at a specific point in time, so usually past inspections are almost completely irrelevant. By paying $300 to $500 for a quality home inspection, you can get an idea of significant repairs that need to be made prior to closing on the home.
Use these 6 tips to navigate the foreclosed property buying process. Contact us, and one of our experienced Anchorage foreclosures real estate professionals will walk you through your buying process step by step!
It is never too early to plan your remodel project! Here are a few tips from our team on how to put your best foot forward when remodeling Anchorage foreclosures:
#1 Paint Is Your Best Friend - Paint can change an entire home, from top to bottom. This is a great area to splurge in - put in the time and money for quality prep work, like scraping and sanding, hire an affordable contractor, and purchase a high quality grade of paint.
#2 Be Content With Carpet - Home shows on TV like to wow their viewers with dramatic scenes in which the contractors pull up the carpet and find beautifully preserved hardwood floors underneath. We regret to tell you that that usually isn't the case when purchasing Anchorage foreclosures. While hardwood and laminate look great and are easier to clean than carpet, they come at a higher price. Find a comfortable, low pile carpet to cover up unsightly tile in high use areas, like the kitchen or bathrooms, and take advantage of special offers from carpet providers, like free installation with your carpet purchase.
#3 The Value's in the Details - If you don't have the budget to knock out an entire room and redo it from the ground up, focus on the details. Updating door handles, light fixtures, molding, blinds, etc., can make a huge difference to a home buyer.
#4 Keep Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations to a Minimum - Kitchens and bathrooms are the most important selling points of a home, but you don't need to tear up the entire kitchen or bathroom to increase your home's value. Swapping out appliances, adding more storage space, and updating light fixtures can help give the kitchen a more modern feel, while replacing the toilet and sink and adding a fresh coat of paint can make your bathroom look new and clean. These less expensive changes can give the illusion of a full remodel.
#5 Create a Budget, and Stick to It! - Big or small, try not to go over your budget or schedule. A new door handle or light fixture may seem like a small cost, but a lot of small costs add up to big ones. More changes equal more time and money, which means less profit.
These 5 tips can help you prepare for remodeling after you purchase your Anchorage foreclosure. Contact one of our Alaska real estate agents to help you search for foreclosed Anchorage homes today.

Parenting Challenge #2: Helping Kids Become Independent Adults
Written by Audrey Monke for Gold Arrow Camp
Whether due to parenting trends ("helicoptering") or being so connected to our kids (both in our close relationships and via our digital leashes), children are much less independent than we were at the same age. Twenty years ago, we were babysitting infants at age 13. Now, some of us hire babysitters for our 13 year olds! Ironically, kids are experimenting with drugs, sex, and other high-risk behaviors younger than ever, possibly as a result of feeling so little independence and control in their own lives. College freshman are struggling to adjust to being away from home, and many who start school away from their parents end up back at home. Colleges have staff dedicated to orienting and communicating with parents, who are closely involved from the application process right through to job interviews post college. Many college graduates move back home and slide right into a dependent lifestyle. This "endless adolescence" just isn't natural. As a society, we are not doing a good job of launching our children into independent adult life.
My shy, quiet nine year old went to Gold Arrow Camp not knowing a soul. Two weeks later, my daughter came home transformed. She blossomed. She made friends, learned a multitude of activities, felt safe, loved, confident, and happy, really happy. As hard as it was on me, it was all worth it for her. I know this is the single best thing I have ever done for her.
Gold Arrow Camp parents understand the value of giving their children early, independent life experiences. While knowing their children are well-supervised in a safe, supportive community, parents feel great about giving their child the opportunity to have a few weeks of independence from them. Children as young as seven years old successfully complete two week camp stays and feel a great sense of pride and independence as a result. Without having their cell phone to immediately contact their parents with every question and need, kids learn to rely on themselves and seek support from their counselors and cabin mates.

Sambuca drinks
The range of aniseed liqueur is not as wide as, for example, have a whiskey or wine. Sambuca drinks are classified only in the color and manufacturer. The difference between the different varieties only in shades of taste. Depending on the color of the following types of sambuca:
White sambuca Drinks (clear) — the traditional anise liqueur. Usually prepared by the classical formulation without the addition of other ingredients.
The best-known brands are white sambuca: «Inferno» (Inferno), «Sambuca Dei Cesari Luxardo» (Lyuksardo De Cesare), «Lazzaroni 1851», «Ramazzotti», «Casoni», «Cesare Imperator», «Vaccari».
sambuca white type
White sambuca — sambuca drinks
Black — has a dark blue color and look more attractive than her white «cousin.» Rich dark color is achieved by adding a part of licorice, licorice extract and other spices. Many experts believe the taste of the most refined black sambuca.
The best manufacturers of sambuca Drinks considered: «Antica» (Antica), «Molinari» (Molinari), «Vaccari» (Vaccari).
Sambuca drinks black
Black sambuca
Red sambuca Drinks — different bright red hue, which is obtained by adding to the traditional recipes of extracts from fruits and berries. After a sip of sambuca mouth felt fruity aftertaste.
The most well-known brands of this type of sambuca Drinks are: «Antica», «Luxardo», «Molinari». Not all manufacturers have in their assortment red sambuca, so buy it a bit more difficult than other types.
Drinks Sambuca — red
Red Sambuca
Any sambuca drinks a fortress from 38 to 42 degrees. The traditional producing country is Italy, which is why I recommend buying sambuca only Italian companies.

He was born in Waldo, Ohio, the son of a busy ``horse and buggy doctor.'' Following his early education in rural schools he entered Ohio Wesleyan University. In great need of money, especially for the purchase of books, he dropped out for half of his third year to teach at a one-room school. In college he was active in debates and oratorical contests. His professor of natural history aroused his interest in collecting and identifying fossils and the shells of mussels and snails; he later asked Conklin to serve as assistant in the museum .
Conklin considered entering the ministry and was ordained as a lay preacher; but, needing money to pay off his debts after graduation, he took a position at Rust University in Mississippi, a missionary college for Negroes, where for three years he taught Latin, Greek, English, history, and all the sciences. He later said he was ``glad to have this opportunity for which I longed, to take part in a most necessary and humane work.'' However, his interest in biology became strong enough for him to choose it for his life work, and he left to enter graduate school at Johns Hopkins.
During the summer of 1890 Conklin was at Woods Hole searching for suitable material for a doctoral thesis in embryology. He chose the easily available eggs of a marine snail and discovered that following fertilization these eggs divide according to a fixed and striking pattern, which enabled him to follow individual cells and their descendants to their final location in the various organs of the larva. Through this ``cell lineage'' the origin of the larval structures could be traced back to different regions of the egg. In later years he successfully extended these studies to eggs of other marine animals and demonstrated that an undivided egg, far from being a homogeneous mass of protoplasm, possesses a remarkable degree of organization in its cytoplasm. He further refined his investigations through various experimental techniques, such as the isolation of cells, application of centrifigal force, and use of salt solutions. At a time when biologists tended to be overawed by the importance of the genes located in the nucleus, he elucidated the role of the cytoplasm of the egg in the early differentiation of the embryo, an essential but much neglected aspect of development.
Conklin's scholarly achievements were recognized by his election to the American Philosophical Society when he was only thirty-four; he was later its executive officer (1936-1942) and president (1942-1945 and 1948-1952), the only member ever elected twice to this high office -- the second time at the age of eighty-five. He was also a member of the National Academy of Sciences, president of several scientific societies, and a member of several foreign learned societies and academies.
A deeply religious man, Conklin was much concerned with the relations between science, ethics, and religion, a subject on which he wrote several books, published numerous magazine articles, and gave many speeches. Conklin believed that scientific evidence of man's animal ancestry need not undermine religious faith or belief in human dignity. ``The real dignity of man,'' he once wrote, ``consists not in his origin but in what he is and in what he may become.'' Perhaps the most conclusive statement of his point of view is found among the last words of his brief, posthumously published ``spiritual autobiography'': ``No one can furnish scientific proof of the existence or nature of a divine plan in the fulfillment of which men may cooperate, but it is evident that such an ideal lends strength and courage to mortal men.''
However great Conklin's scientific achievements were, his most enduring legacy may have been the personal influence he exerted on those who were fortunate enough to come into close contact with him. His contagious enthusiasm, his deep concern for others, his readiness to encourage and support young people have been decisive factors in many lives.
