In our second day on Muhu Island we went to the "Ancient Culture Trail". It connected a number of Pre-christian sacred sites which continued to have cultural significance for the locals into the modern period.
It wound through old forest and along pastures and fields. On such a small island it was amazing to find places so hidden and wild! We were encouraged, with informational signs, to honor Tenn - the Forest Father and Mother Earth at each stop.
Uku, the thunder god of the Finnic peoples, one hits the small stone on the larger. It's suggested not to make wishes for one's self, but for others.
Crusaders from western Europe, and I think the folk there have not forgotten.
For more from our Estonian travels, here's the first post on Muhu Island, Tallin - the capital and medieval fortress, Tartu - the college town, and Villjandi - a large castle and a small town. Also, Oluvestre manor - the host of Craft Camp.

This is my first Spring in North Carolina, and oh what a beautiful Spring it is. It is Spring Break for me here at Chowan, and it nicely coincides with plants just beginning to grow. With that comes yard work. Thankfully, I now have time to deal with the work, and oh how much there is to do. I have now spent three full days working with my hands outside. My body aches in places it has not ached in a long time.
It is easy to just see yard work as a chore, some unpleasant activity that just has to get done. And believe me, I still see it that way some times. Yet, this week, I have tried to see more in my actions. More in my digging, weeding, weed whacking, planting, cutting than I have in the past. I see it as participating in God's creation.
In Genesis 1 we see God bringing order out of Chaos. God takes his creation that was tohu va vohu (formless and empty), and he forms it and fills it, bringing order to the creation which at first existed just as a chaotic body of water. Now, I get to take my yard, which in many places was empty, and in even more places was formless, and I get to bring form. I get to hack away at the plants until form appears. I get to fill empty spots with plants that bring beauty.
Perhaps the most chaos that I tamed this week was a plant that we could not identify. It was about 7 feet tall and just looked like a tangle of growing things. I started to pull, hack, and cut, and behold, what was once chaos took shape. Turned out, a tenacious vine had taken over three trees and an Azalea bush. Well, after the painstaking task of removing the vine, and pruning the trees and bush, I now have what might become an attractive part of the yard. The Azaleas are just getting ready to bloom. I have yet to identify the trees, but they are budding as well. It feels good to bring order out of chaos, even if it hurts at the same time.

Microsoft: Dueling Pirates
Are you running pirated copies of Windows? If so, be aware that Microsoft is planning to make its voluntary Windows antipiracy program mandatory in the second half of 2005. Windows XP users who go to Microsoft's Download Center can freely download what they want, with or without 25-digit validation codes. That freedom will soon end, although not for security downloads, says David Lazar, a director at Microsoft. As a test of the new policy, users of Chinese, Norwegian, and Czech versions are already required to observe validation policies if they want to use the Download Center.

Over the Christmas and new year period I decided to make use of all the left over mince pie filling (my Mum likes to make her own) by making an alternative - Christmas Pudding Cupcakes. They are just a normal vanilla sponge mixed in with mincemeat and I made a brandy icing for the top. To finish I dusted with glitter for an extra festive feel. I got the recipe from 'The Primrose Bakery Book', which is one of my absolute favourites for sweet baking recipes.
What have you all been baking this festive season?

First, you need to know how to easily cut out hearts.

The Parables
This is "The Parables" performed by The Alpha & Omega Theater Co. Inc. The original show is about 50min. It is for children of all ages who have gathered to learn about the Lord's mysterious sayings ...

Parables is performed by a troupe of multi-talented performers who begin the show by entering singing,
The Traveling Troupe of Thespian Theologizers, Singers, and Circus Company
and doing their particular circus bits while the narration, done by the Leader / pianist, explains how life can be like a 3-ring circus, such as "juggling" our money around to pay our bills, or stepping on people to go higher, keeping our balance so as not to fall ("tight rope"), or speaking harshly to someone (dragon red streamers), or trying to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders ("weight lifting"), or just plain being foolish (slapstick clowning). Upon viewing these unsuccessful attempts, the Leader tells about how we can learn to overcome these metaphor for life's obstacles in the next song,
The Mystery of the Parables
which adds the violin in the accompaniment. After this, the cast is introduced.
The Leader tells us why they are here and they then sing,
What Is a Parable?
, teaching the spelling and meaning of the word. They then perform the Parable of the Seed Sower followed by a Q & A session. This is reinforced by the next Country-Style song,
The Seed Sower Song
, which adds a guitar, and where the children are invited to sing along.
Then comes a brief duet,
Pride & Humility
where the students get to be the "hands of God" and lift up "Humility" and lower or humble "Pride." They are reminded that Pride always comes before the fall.
Next comes the Weeds Among the Wheat, followed by another Q & A. Then
The Mustard Seed
is sung by a soloist in a simple Folk style, which also adds guitar and offers the students to sing along again. The next 3 parables (Hidden Treasure, Costly Pearl, Fish Net) are then narrated and mimed and followed by a brief Q & A session. Here the audience is invited to ask Jesus into their hearts as well, if they haven't already.
The cast then goes out into the audience and brings up 5 prearranged children who will dance/move with them to the next song,
Lest You Be As Little Children
. The children in the audience are also invited to stand at their seats and move to this Latin-Rock piece as well. Following this, there is a scene (The Talents) whereby a father's 3 older children are admonished to use the gifts God has given them (singing, acting and dancing) for His glory, but one of them does not, so we see what transpires.
In the next song,
he Lost Coin
sung in a more operatic style, the children are given a chance to count along with the frustrated woman who just wants to buy a new Easter Bonnet, but is missing only ONE coin!
The Birthday Party / Dinner Guests is compared to Jesus' story of the invited dinner guests who refuse to attend, but is put into a modern day version of a young lady who is expecting her best friends to attend her birthday party dinner, but is also disappointed when they don't show up; however, dad has a better solution.
We then round the show off with the reprise of
The Traveling Troupe
Mystery of the Parable Reprise
of what the show is all about and encourage the audience by singing "We pray you'll serve the Lord, there is no great joy!" This leads into the Finale and bows.

My favorite part in the play was the part in the story when the father was leaving, he asked his children to use their great talents in God's holy way. I also loved the part when Melanie was singing the song (Seed Sower Song) and she made us sing with her. 11/22/11
Curtis C:
I liked the way the word "parable" was explained. They sang and danced. I liked the show because it teaches parables in a fun way. 11/22/11

I liked that they came in clown costumes. It made me laugh. I love when the girl rode the unicycle and when the boy rode the pogo stick. I like when they spelled the word parable. I loved the whole show. 11/22/11
Tyra N:
I remember when the show started with a girl doing the cartwheel, another girl riding a unicycle, and a boy was on a pogo stick. It was an exciting entrance. My favorite part is the way to get closer to God. I liked the fact that they came wearing clown costumes. It made me laugh and it made it easier to listen. 11/28/11
Candice K:
I liked that they were dressed as clowns and acrobat. Even if I do not know them, they made me feel comfortable. They taught about Jesus by singing and dancing. I love to hear about Jesus. I hope they can do another show. 11/28/11

5th grade
teacher who wrote:
"The children in Grade 5 thoroughly enjoyed the show-The music and acrobats impressed them and held their attention while teaching them about the parables."

For three of the four innings he pitched Friday, right-hander Steve Johnson showed why he remains in consideration to be the Orioles' fifth starter.
The other inning, though, the 25-year-old St. Paul's alum would like to forget.
In the Orioles' 6-3 road win against a Tampa Bay Rays split squad, Johnson retired the first eight batters he faced before temporarily losing control and walking the bases loaded in the third inning. Rays third baseman Evan Longoria followed with a sinking liner that left fielder Trayvon Robinson couldn't handle, resulting in a three-run double.
Johnson rebounded to set down four of the next five...

Students are putting the finishing touches to their production of an epic musical.
The senior and intermediate musical theatre class at Chesterfield Studios will present Les Misérables - school edition from February 24 to February 28.
This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France.
Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and becomes an honest man, town mayor and a loving, adoptive father - violating his parole in the process.
The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a student uprising and saves the life of a young man, does the ex-convict feel redeemed.
Jonathan Francis and Roseanna Sanderson direct the production. Roseanna is also the show's choreographer.
The cast includes Charlotte Noakes (playing Fantine), Ben Whiteside (Valjean), Ryan Mitchel (Enjolras), Sam Widdowson (Thenardier), Connor Stanmore (Marius), Aimee Hyde (Eponine), Edward Telfer (Javert), Martha West (Madame Thenardier), Martha Barratt and Iona Blair (Little Cosette) and Owen Jenkinson (Gavroche).
Performances are at Rose Theatre, Rose Hill, Chesterfield at 7.30pm with Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
Tickets cost £12 or £10 (concessions). To book, contact (01246) 271540 or www. rosetheatrechesterfield.co.uk

There's a tiny heartbeat inside of me, beating 163 times a minute. The other heart in my body, to the north of that one is so, so, so in love.
That's my way of saying I'm having a baby!!
I am 8 weeks, 6 days along. This time last week, for the first time, I saw my sweet little raspberry-sized baby living inside of me. I saw it's heart beating, I saw it's little nub arms and legs. I love that tiny little thing (even though it's kind of a brat..making me feel sick all day long).
With all the joy I have, I have so much anxiety about weight-gain. Right now I'm about 10 pounds over my weight goal. It's kind of hard to know I won't be back here for a good eight months. Don't get me wrong - I am thrilled that I'll be gaining weight for the most productive thing of my life, starting my little family!
My blog may be taking kind of a turn as I try to deal with pregnancy and weight gain, instead of weight loss. Yikes, but yay!

Merry Christmas to all!!! I don't have many pictures of Christmas sorts from France, but we went to a Christmas market in Monaco that was really nice. So I have included videos: Go carts… on ice… haha could've been a little more bad-ass, and then "put your children in a ball" according to Sasha is the "best babysitting device ever."
IN COPENHAGEN, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is ending today. It started two Mondays ago on December 7th. Leaders from 156 countries came together to reach a much much more concrete goal for climate change. Developing countries are required to come up with "actions" instead of just talk. It's about time. A great many people are excited about this… economists, environmental groups, developing countries, developed countries, countries who have already been on the road to sustainability for years, just waiting for everyone else to come aboard as well, and everyday people like you and me. We need to be excited, and we need to have hope. On the left side of my website you will find two new things: First, I have put up pictures from the Christmas Market in Monaco – I felt that they had the right idea. They had a "Save Our World" tent, and beyond the alluring exterior, there were some very creative ideas and innovations dealing with renewable resources. The theme is "Closing the LOOP." It's not exactly saying "save the world by redecorating your living room with colorful oil barrel seats," or that by "putting a bottlecap dresser in every home," you are making the world a better place… But what it is doing is igniting a spark in the everyday person's mind to get them started on thinking creatively, thinking renewable, thinking wisely. I walked away with a smile.
I want to share something with you – something that has become close to my heart. I wrote an essay (a loose essay – semi-professional: just like me) which consists of my feelings compiled onto a page on the left side under "In Discovery of Ourselves," called : "On HOPE"
I didn't write this for a class, and it was not a required project. I wrote this for me, and I wrote this for you. I'm not trying to preach, but I am very passionate about this. Right now, awareness is our greatest ally in combating climate change. So please, take it or leave it but I hope sincerely that you read it.
Set your playlist to the song "Marchin' On" by OneRepublic while reading. Yeah, I'll admit it could be more epic – but this is me, and you're looking through my eyes here ♥ Or not, it's as you like.
I can only tell you in so many words how beautiful our Earth is, but sometimes you really need to see it to believe it… to be reminded of what is worth saving: A 4 billion year-old legacy. Please take the time to watch this video before or after: HOME
Thank you.

So, the "first" being that I've never really warmed up to animals, most of you know this… but I was doing research for my paper on drilling in the Arctic and I found this adorable guy… I think I would love one! But you know, trust me to find one of the few species whose habitat is disappearing (the Ice caps are melting…) so I don't think he would survive too well in the states. Unless I get a giant freezer with some sea ice (Sea ice is warmer than Land ice and they survive better there). But still, I'll leave him be. But I actually really think he is adorable! =) Fun fact for the day ♥
I first came across this beauty when I was on the train to Monaco, staring out the window as it zipped through the tunnels in the mountains. I knew I was supposed to be going to Monaco, but when I caught sight of this village hovering above those crystal blue waters, I seriously almost shouted something like "Stop the train!" ha. Kind of, I almost got off at the next stop… but I waited until later and I am glad I did. The first part of the day I went with Sasha, Olga, Raquel and Andrea to a village nextdoor called Beaulieu Sur Mer, and it was very nice but I fell in love once I set my eyes on Villefranche Sur Mer. It means "Villefranche on the sea" but I am not entirely sure what villefranche means except that it has something to do with a city/town/village on the sea.
The rest of the girls went home (poor Raquel was sick – I have a cute picture of her pouring honey on a lemon slice) and I continued on to do some searching for a room with a seaview. =) And to explore. The way you get around is similar to Monaco – there are no real bee-line ways to get from the top of the mountain down to the beach, you must zigzag throughout the streets! But it's actually pretty fun, and I went reeeeally close to the top just by hiking. And it was HOT outside that day – but very worth it. The view was breathtaking, literally. The pictures you see looking down on the water are from that spot. I love the one where you can see the other cap of Beaulieu sur mer just a stone's through away.
So pretty much, Villefranche sur mer is my favorite village in France (that I have seen thus far), and I just felt a connection as soon as I saw it. It's peaceful, and clean, and the water is the bluest I have ever seen. I also love the colours of the villas and the way they all climb up on top of each other. I can't wait to show you the Cinque Terre because that is such a prime example of what I mean, but every place I have seen is just as beautiful in its own way.
Yeah, we went for the 10 scoop bucket of Gelati. This is the story of when Hazel and I went to Nice. Saying she "loves" ice cream would be a huge understatement. When we first got our place I happened to be the first one to bring home a pint of ice cream, I stuck it in our freezer and went on my merry way until Hazel came home later that day, opened up the freezer to get a pizza. The next thing I hear from her is "WHAT have you DONE?!" me: O__O eep? "Who put this… this… thing… in here?" hah… what thing? "This… temptation! I can't even look at it but now that I know that it's in there I won't be able to pass by the kitchen without having this overwhelming desire to finish the entire thing off in five minutes. And believe me I have done it in less. How could you do this to me?" so by now I am having a real hard time trying to determine if she is serious or not but I went with it and offered her a bowl. Apparently it is really that she doesn't take anyone up on offers for some of their ice cream because she will just keep eating it. Lol. SO. Anyways. This should serve as a successful transition to what happened next in Nice.
We walked through the older part of Nice where there was a Gelati place that offered as their maximum "The Bucket" which fits 10 scoops – 10 flavors. So she said "We should get that!" to which I stupidly replied Can we really finish all that? Hah. So yeah, It was sooooo tasty. There is one picture on the sidebar where behind me there is a giant ice cream cone with all ten scoops piled on. I WISH it was physically possible to do that, it looks AWESOME. So these are the flavors we got: Pistachio, Toblerone, Citrus, Pear, Chestnut, Stracciatore (cinnamon-y), Chili chocolate, White chocolate, Banana, and Violette. YUM.
We then walked around the city, and worked our way up to the cemetary that looks over all of Nice. We walked through the gravestones… and I noticed that people put stones on graves kind of like how we lay down flowers. Then up to the view of the Acropolis – the city really is huge. I love how the city reaches throughout the mountains that come rolling right against the shore. You have the mountains, the city and the ocean all there for you. And further up there was a waterfall – it is so beautiful with the way the glittering water stream seems transparent when you can see the ivy crawling on rock wall behind it. The rainbow was an added smile feature.
The Russian cathedral… was amazing. I would love to see more of those turnips… go to Russia… =) The architecture is gorgeous. The weather was beautiful that day… with a warm breeze and the ocean was such a beautiful blue… I am going to miss that when I come back. I wish I could share it with you all, but in a way I am. =) You know what I also love? When people hang their clothes to dry on clothesline outside their windows and you can see them from the streets below. Little details like that just make everything all the more beautiful.
Ma Cherie!!! Here are the glowing, floating color-changing naked men I was telling you about!! They exist!!! I really need to find out the story behind them…
So I was thinking that I often talk about all these tasty pastries and plates, but you know salads can be pretty tasty too! I do eat them, promise. Lol, and so I thought I would share one that I made this morning! I also made a side mini grilled cheese sandwich. The salad is on the sweeter side, but it has a variety of textures and flavors, so I think you will enjoy!
Sweet Salmon Citrus Salad
Mise en place:
2 clementines
Some type of lettuce, not too bitter like mesclun… I think you want it more towards a mix of mostly spinach, and the less juicy parts of iceburg lettuce (I have been using a really good soft lettuce here that is kind of like spinach but lighter, but I don't know the name… I think it's just in France?)
Some variation of Gruyère cheese if not the real thing (with very similar texture (not a soft cheese!) , taste – maybe parmesan…) but the flavor should be mild, nutty and on the sweeter side. Comté cheese is the ideal =)
A little Honey
A little Apricot jam
1/4 of a sweet apple type (like Golden delicious, or pink lady, etc) something crisp though.
Cucumbers (not too much at all, and thinly sliced into quarters – I have them thinly sliced into halves on the picture but I think you need to taste even less of it with every bite, sorry cucumber :p)
Pecan pralines!! finely chopped. (not the same as pecans, if you reeeally don't have pecan pralines (kind of like candied pecan bits, kind of…) then you could use… almonds? finely chopped… but they key is to get the candied/sugary and crunchy texture.
I know you see cherry tomatoes up there, but pretend you don't =) they actually don't taste so great with the salad afterall.
Some sort of light oil, like walnut oil – just a little bit.
A small, fresh salmon filet
Some fresh pepper, salt
How we do it!:
So! we'll start with the salmon, you can either marinate it in clementine juice (just use half a clementine) or you can just do this: Put a frying pan on medium heat (5-6) with a little bit of walnut or some kind of oil that doesn't have too much flavor) and then clean the salmon filet (if it still has the skin on, don't worry about taking it off, it should come off easily on its own after cooking it). So then put the salmon filet in the oil, wet both sides with the oil, and place the skin side down. Lightly salt and pepper the filet. Take half of one clementine and squeeeeeze it all over the entire filet. Brush just a thin layer of apricot jam over the top of the salmon. Cover the pan and let it start to cook through the filet.
Woo onto the salad! Clean the lettuce, dry it, and rip it into bite-sized pieces, place in a medium shallow bowl, or plate, whatever you personally eat salad out of… lol. Cut up the apples into matchsticks! Segment the other whole clementine, keep the other half of the first one you squeezed to the side. Cut the Comté or Gruyère into thin small chunks. Add the cucumbers, apples, and clementine segments(slices?) and then drizzle some walnut oil over top, then squeeze the rest of that first clementine all over the salad. Add some pepper, and toss that salad all 'round! K, then sprinkle the crushed/finely chopped pecan pralines/pralines over the salad and then the cheese. Toss just once.
So back to the salmon – test to see if they salmon meat is starting to flake off when you poke it with a fork (when it starts to, that means it's almost ready) Drain the juices out of the pan and remove the skin if it comes off easily. Then put a pretty decent layer of honey over the top of the filet, and turn it upside down into the pan. I love doing this because the honey helps to brown the salmon really nicely and it tastes wooooonderful. So when the filet is cooked all the way through and the honeyed part is nicely golden browned, it's ready! you can turn it over once to cook the bottom a little if you like, but other wise, lay that sucker on the salad! As a finishing touch spread a thin layer of apricot jam and honey on top of the salmon if you so desire.
Gruyère and Basil Grilled Cheese Minis
Mise en place:
Some sort of bread with something special to it – what you like! could have bits of oats, hazelnuts, etc! =) Go crazy.
Gruyère cheese
Fresh Fresh Fresh Basil leaves
A lil butter
We Make it like this:
Slice the bread however thick you like! Then slice the cheese however thick you like! Put the pan on the stove, set to medium-high heat (6-7) and add butter (be careful not to burn it though). spread butter around the pan. K, so then place the cheese on one side of the bread, microwave the bread/cheese thingy until the cheese is slightly melted. Place the basil leaves onto the cheese, place other piece of bread on top. Then take it to the pan and put it in – it should sizzle, good sign. So keep checking it so see how brown it gets- depending on how you like it, turn it over and do the same!! So very tasty!! Enjoy! XD Add a sprig of basil for garnish if you wish! ♥
Hellllllo there. So I have a looooot of catching up to do. A lot to say too! First things first. Pasta alla Carbonara. It's only filled with butter, cream, eggs and back bacon(aka "lardons" in French), oh and pasta – so it is delicious. No seriously. It's so worth it. Do whatever you need to do to "balance" it out – go for a jog, go row a boat on the lake, go hiking… you know what? Make it BEFORE you go do all that and take it WITH you. Yes, in the boat – eat it WHILE you are rowing. Yeah it's possible, don't question the logic. Seriously, give yourself an early Christmas present and go look up the recipe, visit your nearest grocer and make it. Actually, I'll make it one step easier – I'll GIVE you the recipe. Like so:
Pasta Alla Carbonara
Mise en place:
8 Oz. uncooked Pasta of your choice – Personally, I like penne or farfalle =)
5 Oz. cubed/diced and smoked lardons/pancetta/back bacon(not the same as the crispy bacon you know) etc. Take your pick. ***However, if you can somehow get your hands on some guanciale – that's the real thing. Wiki defines it as: Pork cheek rubbed with salt, ground black or red pepper and cured for three weeks. Its flavor is stronger than other pork products, such as pancetta, and its texture is more delicate.
2 Large eggs plus 2 extra yolks (room temperature)
1 Tablespoon Olive oil for cooking the lardons/pancetta/guanciale
1 clove of garlic, minced
4 Tablespoons grated parmesan and pecorino romano cheese and add more after if you wish!
4 Tablespoons double cream (room temperature)
2 Tablespoons butter (room temperature)
1 Teaspoon Fresh black pepper
Salt for pasta
And this is how we make it!:
- So remember to leave the eggs, cream and butter out so they become room temperature. If the butter isn't soft enough, warm it up manually juuuust a little more. Mince the garlic and set aside. Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to the instructions on the box, or make al dente – just keep testing it until it's tender enough for your taste. =)
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a sauté/frying pan over low heat. Add the minced garlic, black pepper and the guanciale/tasty fat of your choice. Slow-roast it, do not crispify it (aka burnt :p) Keep covered so it stays warm.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks, cream, butter, pepper to taste, grated parmesan and pecorino – set aside.
- Once the pasta is done, drain the water out and add the pasta to the pan with the guanciale. Add the egg/cream mixture to the pasta in the pot and toss around. Don't worry you won't get salmonella poisoning. The key is that the warmth of the pasta cooks the eggs just enough when mixed. =) Add more cheese if you so desire and serve!!! Enjoy!
♣ If you would like to see a true Italian teach you how to cook it, his recipe is a bit different but you might like it more!! I haven't tried it yet, but he claims his is the "real" carbonara – and in all honesty it prolly is the closest thing. Give it a try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iERZIRQEIJk
And of course, I already devoured the one I made today before I got a picture of it, so I have included one that I found!

I love working with This Must Be For You. Over the last 18 months the whole project has gone from strength to strength and it's been a real pleasure to be a part of it in a small way. The idea to come up with a little zine full of stories, artwork and photographs came from one evening of us all sat in the pub. That's where all the best ideas come from right?
I really enjoyed designing the covers and the whole layout of this issue. It was also a good opportunity to finally get to grips with Indesign. Printed copies will be made available, but lets face it, you're here now, you might as well flick through the digital version above.
A big thank you to all those that contributed to this issue and also to Tash and Charlie for letting me get involved with TMBFY once again.

The Turkish lira lost 16% against the dollar in the past 3 quarters and has been one of the worst-performing emerging-market currencies this year.
This trend has already started to hit bottom lines and companies are planning to hedge against losses.
There are winners and losers from the lira's weakness through: local companies and MNCs operating in liraand importing heavy raw materials or parts into Turkey are suffering from rising input costs.
On the other hand, companies producing locally and exporting from Turkey are benefiting from Turkey's stronger export position.
What is causing the lira's weakness? There are two leading indicators that are driving the lira's underperformance. First, the country's rising current account deficit is pressuring Central Bank reserves and the exchange rate. Second, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe is driving investors away from emerging market currencies and toward the dollar, further weakening the lira.
While Turkey's central bank could hike interest rates to strengthen the lira, the bank has resisted such a move as it would slow down the economy at a time when exports to the EU are already being hit by the sovereign debt crisis. Plus, an exchange rate hike will only be effective if there is exchange rate stability. If the lira is rapidly depreciating against the dollar, interest rate hikes will be seen as a desperate move by the central bank, causing additional portfolio investment flight and further driving down the lira.
As a result, MNCs should anticipate the lira to remain weak through year-end 2012, before appreciating against the dollar in 2013: "The Turkish lira depreciation is not a permanent trend, but a short-to-medium term one," says Frontier Strategy Group Expert Advisor Kerim Kotan.
Companies producing in Turkey should anticipate lower exchange rate-adjusted costs through next year, while companies selling indirectly to the market should anticipate reduced buying power for dollar-denominated goods. Fahhan Ozcelik, FSG Expert Advisor, also recommends that MNCs operating in Turkey take advantage of the government's planned incentives for local exporters.
One way MNCs can do this is by partnering with local suppliers for semi-finished goods, especially in industries such as textiles, motor vehicles, and electrical machinery.

Riding the SubBy David F. Carr | Posted 2005-09-09 Print
No mortgage loan gets made without a processor; and no processor makes a loan without running the applicant's personal and financial background through software that canin theory, if not in practicereject those borrowers who can't legitimately-Prime Wave">
As interest rates fell to a 40-year low in June 2003, large lenders such as Ameriquest began advertising loans for potential borrowers "regardless of their credit histories."
Ameriquest and other lenders offered interest-only loans, to entice borrowers to purchase second homes or to qualify for higher-priced homes they otherwise could not afford.
As one mortgage industry veteran in New York puts it, "Anyone who can fog a mirror can get a mortgage loan in today's environment."
Because these loan agents are relying on and, in some cases, abusing the information systems used to generate the loans that have made the real estate explosion possible, they also stand to share much of the blame if and when these risky loans begin to foreclose, says Richard Harmon, vice president of scoring analytics and software for San Francisco-based LoanPerformance, a firm that specializes in developing analytical software for the mortgage industry.
"It's always dangerous to paint issues of this type with a broad brush, but it's clear that more and more people are leveraging themselves to the breaking point," Harmon says. The danger is particularly great in overheated markets, such as California and Florida.
It doesn't have to be this way. The software systems that mortgage brokers use are capable of weeding out applicants with shaky financial backgrounds. But if the same software is used to fulfill sales quotas, these systems can simply make it faster to fill out unverified reports.
Empower, for instance, automates almost half of the steps needed to process a loan. Once the application has been filled out by the borrower, the data is keyed into the system. Loan agents can enter that data directly while talking to the borrower or, in some cases, without their consent, according to Bomchill.
At the underwriting stage, the loan is passed along for review by the underwriter to determine the viability of the borrower and recommend approval or denial of the loan.
In the past, the loan application and supporting documents such as W-2s, bank statements, 401(k) statements and other financial records were kept together in one file for review.
Now, all that documentation is entered electronically at the beginning of the process by the loan agent. In some cases, the underwriter is merely reviewing the data entered into the system by the loan agent and not double-checking the actual physical documents, Bomchill says.
These steps and processes, if done properly and with proper supervision and documentation, speed up the transactions for all parties. But in some of the cases detailed in the class-action suits Ameriquest recently settled, many of the appropriate checks and balances appear to have been ignored.
Ameriquest CIO Mark Sarago says the company's information systems are designed to ferret out abuses, but he declined to offer any specifics.
"Are there ways for anyone to do anything to the software? Yes," he says. "If someone is entirely enterprising, they can find ways to beat the system. If someone really focuses on breaking something, I'm sure they can do it. But we think it's a very tight system."

Seattle University eked out a win last night in front of their largest home crowd of the season, barely defeating the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners 76-72.
Seattle University eked out a win last night in front of their largest home crowd of the season, barely defeating the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners 76-72.
4756 fans turned out for the Hoops for Haiti event, donating a hefty sum to the Haitian relief effort.
The first half started out slowly enough with Cervante Burrell finally putting the Redhawks on the board nearly 3 minutes into the game. Enter Chuck Garcia and Mike Boxley and the musical chairs began.
Impressively deep, the Redhawks' bench has been putting up big numbers all year – posting 42 points last night. Yet to start a game this season, the team's current high scorer, Alex Jones, explained: "I like coming off the bench, I go in when every one else is tired."
Seemingly referring to his own team, he also finds the opposing defense ripe for the picking. On a recent scoring tear, yesterday was no different for Alex Jones, with a game total of 21 points. Surprisingly, over half those points came from the line, where he shot 12-16 on the night.
What do think about those numbers, Alex? "Well, I see I missed 4 points," said the humble Jones, who was also credited with the game winning shot.
But the win didn't come easy last night for the Redhawks. Slowly finding a way to take the lead in the first half, the officials were calling a tight game against the Runners.
Charles Garcia went down for the count on a hard foul by Trent Blakley, the Runners' powerful senior forward. The officials charged the hard foul like an intentional, SeattleU getting 2 shots and the possession.
At the half, the Redhawks led the Runners 40-27. SeattleU shot 41.7% from the floor, Alex Jones the high scorer with 13. Chuck Garcia had 2 points, 2 fouls and 6 rebounds at the break.
The Roadrunners started the second period with an 8 point run until Jones finally answered from the stripe and with a nice 3 pointer to make it 18 points and counting for him in the game.
Aaron Broussard, totaling 12 points, 5 rebounds and a steal, was a major factor in the second, helping to revive the Redhawks' lead to 63-56 at the 6:00 minute mark.
Garrett Lever also stepped up his play in the half with a nice steal (2 on the night) and drive for a layup.
But all the extra effort seemed to fizzle as the Roadrunners crept up from behind to narrow the game to 2 points.
With just 29 seconds left in the action, Senior Taylor Olson, solid as a rock, once again proved how clutch he is key situations by drawing the foul and making both shots from the line.
The Humble One, Alex Jones, sealed the win with a nice rebound and put-back before the Redhawks ran out the final seconds on the clock.
"We were fortunate to come out with a victory, but it wasn't an effort representative of what we do," said Head Coach Cameron Dollar in his post game interview. "When you make the game harder than it has to be, you usually don't get those results."
Finally over .500 for the first time in 2010, the Redhawks return to the KeyArena Tuesday night for their final home game of the season. The late tip off against Portland State is scheduled for 8pm and will be televised on FSN following the Gonzaga – Cal State Bakersfield game.

Loren Perry – 9th Grade, West Allegheny High School
"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."
-Emily Bronte
As you may have been already able to tell, fall is my favorite season for countless reasons. One great thing about fall is that a fair amount of my family's birthdays occur in the fall. I just love coming together with my family to celebrate and the little things in life. Also, when autumn comes, that means the back-to-school season is upon us! While some students may dread this time of year, I bask in it. I make sure to soak up every minute buying new school clothes and supplies and seeing all of my friends that I haven't had a chance to see all summer. Additionally, autumn brings back all of the warm drinks, cozy sweaters, and halloween fun! What more could a girl ask for?
On a more pessimistic note, I strongly dislike summer! For some reason, I just don't like anything about it. The sticky and sweaty weather, hot sand, tank tops, body odor; it's just NOT a good combination!
Finally, yes, different seasons do make me think and act differently. For example, in the season of winter, I feel extremely stressed and it is hard to do activities that I actually enjoy. Whether this is due to all of the school work I have over Winter break, or that I am just so anxious for Christmas to arrive, I really dislike the season of winter.
Loren Perry is a freshman at West Allegheny High School in the fall. She enjoys cheerleading, music, and writing. In her free time, she volunteers at her local church as well as her library.


text: Chris MacDonald - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 Be Greedy When Others are Fearful With many market participants continuing to fear a market sell-off, the reality that a correction or recession may be around the corner is something which should make investors cautious, but also excited, at the potential to buy specific securities at a discount to current valuation levels in the near to medium term. Many of the world's most iconic investors, such as Warren Buffett, have continued to beat the drum of being greedy when others are fearful, noting he has continued to invest in every market (bull and bear) over the past half-century, picking those he believes carry the greatest value in a given point in time.The reality that Buffett, and many other investors, have slowed their pace of investment in recent years, choosing instead to build up a cash stockpile should not be surprising. After all, one of Buffett's greatest pieces of advice, to be greedy when others are fearful, requires liquid assets to invest during times of distress. Carrying enough "dry powder" during the good times to invest when the market turns is a difficult thing to do, as many investors will note that holding large cash positions will hurt short-term returns (cash typically earn negative net real returns, after inflation, over time).That being said, one of the ways Buffett has continued to be successful in beating the market over time is being patient and waiting for deals to pop up. If he doesn't see deals and believes others are being greedy, he will simply wait for fear to take over and buy at lower prices – a strategy every investor should consider.Invest wisely, my friends.

A dissertation takes time. I am currently a DOC-team fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Since I need more time shed light on specific aspects of my research, I applied for a Marietta Blau Grant. I am delighted to announce that I will receive the scholarship from beginning of April to End of December 2016. From April to August I will do my research at the University of Alberta (Edmonton). At UofA I will continue the work with my second supervisor, Michael Lounsbury. From September to December I have the opportunity to learn from Candace Jones at the University of Edinburgh. In January and February 2017 I will continue my DOC-team scholarship at JKU and finalize my dissertation. Note that the JKU featured my accomplishment in the Campus News online.
My supervisor, Robert Bauer and I were very productive. We successfully submitted a paper to the EGOS Conference in Neapel on crowdsourcing (Sub-theme 13: (SWG) Collective Powers for Renewal in Creative Industries). Another piece on crowdsourcing will be published in a book, edited by Brigitte Aulenbacher (JKU Linz), Maria Dammayr (JKU Linz), Klaus Dörre (FSU Jena), Wolfgang Menz (ISF München), Birgit Riegraf (Universität Paderborn), and Harald Wolf (SOFI Göttingen).
We, the DOC-team 67 (Maria Dammayr, Doris Graß and I), presented our interdisciplinary research results at the governance workshop in Linz last November. This presentation was the basis for our final project report for the Austrian Academy of Sciences. We plan to turn this report into a publication together with our supervisors (Brigitte Aulenbacher, Robert Bauer and Herbert Altrichter).
The application "Look at Linz" is a success story. "Look at Linz" is also featured in two projects where I am involved. Stefan Etzelstorfer, Dennis Hilgers and I wrote a chapter for the book Open Tourism: Open Innovation, Crowdsourcing and Co-Creation Challenging the Tourism Industry. A previous version of our chapter can be downloaded here. The other project is lead by Lisa Schmidthuber (co-authored by Stefan Etzelstorfer, Dennis Hilgers and I). The paper with the title "Local open government: Determinants of online citizen participation" was accepted for this year's Academy of Management Meeting.

We welcome Chef Hubert Keller to Columbus, Ohio for the WOSU Public Media Chefs in the City event. The star dish of the evening was Chef Keller's All-Ohio Signature Short Rib Burger. This is no surprise—burgers are Chef Keller's business. He owns and operates Burger Bar restaurants in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and St. Louis in addition to Fleur de Lys in San Francisco, Fleur by Hubert Keller in Las Vegas.
If you are interested in building your own burger, check out Chef Keller's book Burger Bar: Build Your Own Ultimate Burgers.
During Chef Keller's cooking demo, he shared burger tips that can help us create our own signature burgers:
Chef Hubert Keller Burger Tips
1. Wet your hands to help with stickiness
2. Don't overwork the meat
3. Have your butcher grind the meat on the spot (or grind your own meat if you are really inspired)
4. Add a surprise in the middle of the burger (braised short ribs in this case)
5. Use a hot American cast iron pan
6. Cook burger the same way you cook filet mignon (sear it to seal the juices, cook to desired level, let rest)
Chef Keller's recipe for the All-Ohio Signature Short Rib Burger is on our recipe tab here.
To see additional photos from Chefs in the City as well as DJ Keller spinning at Due Amici, see our Facebook page.

Place this recliner a bit closer to the wall and easily reserve some extra space for moving around your room. Wall recliner mechanisms slide slightly forward instead of straight back when you move to angle the back cushion. You can place this recliner a few inches from the wall and you won't have to worry about reclining back and damaging the wall behind your chair.
Unlike recliners that are built with a two or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a no-gap cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers fuller comfort and support for your legs, and eliminates the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.
Make your entertainment space instantly inviting with this reclining sofa with two spacious seats. It features supportive cushioning for the divided back and seating as well as rolled arms with nailhead trim for a classic design detail.Distance required between recliner and wall: 3"

This weekend not only marks the return of the Ravens from their bye week, but the return of the tailgate version of GOOBVISION!
Goob is coming up from Raleigh this weekend to take in Ravens-Texans, and will be traveling all over the M&T Bank Stadium tailgate lots prior to the game talking to Ravens fans and Texans fans (if we can find any) alike. If you want to be in the next GOOBVISION – or if you just want to have a cold one with the guy that's quickly becoming one of the most recognizable Ravens fans around behind Captain Defense and Sports Steve – let us know!
Send Goob a tweet (@RavenManiac) and let us know where you'll be (you can try tweeting at me but it will be futile as I remain in the stone ages cell phone-wise)! We'll do our best to get to as many tailgate groups as possible.
Or, if you see the guy walking around with a camera, microphone, and beak hat, don't be shy! Call us on over and let's talk Ravens. We promise not to drink ALL your beer.

New comments are temporarily disabled while we update our database.
A disparaging name for an ethnic group (Gk phaul- "cheap, light, mean"). Term invented by A. A. Roback.
Mencken used the extraordinary term 'achthronym' for the same meaning; a subsequent (1963) edition combined the two in this extraordinary sentence:
The English have fewer strangers within their gates, and hence their native armamentarium is smaller, and not a few of the achthronyms (or ethnophaulisms) they use come from the United States.
'Achthronym' seems to be both non-existent apart from this use of Mencken's, and unetymologizable. There is no Greek achthr- in Liddell & Scott; the nearest is achth- "burden", possibly intended figuratively; nor is there a chthr- for it to be the privative of.
I wonder if Mencken coined achthronym from "anthronym" + the German sigh of exasperation Ach!

Well the Capitals outshot the Thrashers 36 - 12 (the Thrashers lowest shot total all season) but Kari Lehtonen and Mark Recchi had good games. The Caps played a tight game to be sure (one of the Thrashers two goals was an empty nettter) but they just couldn't keep the momentum long enoungh to "capitalize" on what was otherwise a reasonably solid effort. That said, the Caps also didn't "swarm enoungh" around Lehtonen and force any rebounds he didn't otherwise want to yield. To be sure there seemed to be a reasonable energy level at the "Phone Booth" - the crowd was a good one - 17, 205 and they were into the game right up till the empty netter at 19:20 in the third period. The Thrashers outhit the Caps 30 - 23, the Caps hit leaders were Matt Bradley (4); Milan Jurcina (3); and Quintin Laing (3), though Defenseman Tom Poti, Jeff Shultz, and Mike Green didn't make a hit between them. Hit leaders for the Thrashers were Steve McCarthy (5); Bobby Holick (5); Ken Klee (4); Garnet Exelby (3); Marian Hossa (3); and Alexei Zhitnik (3).
Tonight was a game where everyone came to play but Mark Recchi and Kari Lehtonen were "game on" all night for the Thrashers and on the Caps side of the ice both Alexander Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom "brought it" all night as well. In the end the Thrashers smothering play and Lehtonen's excellent goaltending won the side. The Caps have been shutout two of their last three games despite mounting a reasonable offenesive charge in both those losses, however in both cases the opponents won out by having solid goaltending and keeping the Caps from swarming on rebounds and/or their powerplay. The Caps next two games are on the road in Columbus on Tuesday against the Blue Jackets and in Philadelphia on Wednsday agaist the Flyers. The Blue jackets are 16-8-4 so far this season at Nationwide Arena and will be coming off tonight's 4-1 home loss against the Northwest Division leading Minnesota Wild; the Flyers are 13-7-5 so far this season at Wachovia Center after blanking the Anaheim Ducks tonight 3-0 in Philadelphia. The Flyers play the Thrashers on Tuesday Night in Atlanta before meeting the Caps at home on Wednsday. LETS GO CAPS!!!!!

So the events team at the Botanic Gardens had rigged a truly massive marquee at the back of Inverleith House and had a bit of a party. As well as the classic crooner, the Secret Opera Singers were on site and DJ Boogie from Forth Radio acted as compere and DJ. As it was a gala style event, there were lots of couples as well as groups of friends, which I think added to the general bonhomie. The lovely summer evening, fab READ MORE

Ben Henick celebrates his site's sixth birthday this last Saturday. Ok, time to send him cheezy email greeting cards… better yet, send him job offers.

I wonder if the agency that designed the Logan Airport web site really understood the ramifications of adding gun-target crosshairs on it's web site to indicate key places of construction around the airport. Regardless of the 9-11 attacks, the metaphor should have never been used to begin with. I am willing to bet that it was either the client asking for something "cool" and not really understanding that there is a time and place for it, or that it was the agency who just figured out how to do something "trendy." Remember when the GaboCorp site came out?
Spark-Online is turning the big two-oh and you are invited to the party!
Mad props to my homies Jaz and Rey at JAZ FX Productions for scoring spot number two on the Beats list at MP3.com. Keep watching for more phat releases from these guys including a full EP from Universal Records and a full album for Spragga Benz's Hip Hop debut (ya, that's right the same guy who has a single out with Foxy Brown) that will be distributed world wide! Tight!
Hear, hear! I personally cannot thank Matt enough. He did the work that I normally do on each issue, and did it quite well… and pulled my butt out of a sling in the process. However, we have another fact tying us together: I too am looking for a new job, preferably one that won't "swamp" my entire week. There's a long backstory, but the bottom line is that I need to move on ASAP. If you have any leads that fit my strengths, let me know… Especially now, making a difference is more important to me than making money, though I can't afford to work for free.

This last issue of Digital Web Magazine was anything but typical… it was scheduled to publish on the 11th… our interviewees and cover artists found themselves in the middle of chaos in downtown New York… Ben was swamped with work and other life issues… it seemed like we would never be able to get the September issue out if it wasn't for the help of a very generous individual. The same person who has contributed articles to this magazine multiple times… in fact, the same person who introduced me to Blogger and who is now offering to help build a forum for you, the readers, to voice their opinions. This is no ordinary individual by any stretch of the imagination. Most people know him as the creator of MetaFilter… I know of him as a good friend. His name is Matt Haughey and he is currently looking for freelance work or perhaps full time work in the San Francisco area.
Another great article from AIGA: "For Here or To Go?: Designing User-Centered Experiences" by Melissa Niederhelman.
I can see it now, a room full of executives filled with smoke from fat cat cigars. One exec says, "We are losing money, no one is clicking on the ads anymore, they are not even seeing them!"

Apparently Dean Allen (a Digital Web Magazine contributor among other things) is lost in the ethereal ether.

NEWS - Sydney boaters Cruise for a Cure
Helping sick children with a day on the water
Sydney boaters are needed for a great cause – to help put a smile on the faces of children battling cancer and their parents.
Luxury boat dealer SBM Maritimo Sydney has joined forces with the Cure Our Kids Foundation to organise its Cruise For A Cure for Sunday, February 27.
"We are calling on everyone with a boat over about 30 feet to help give these young people a great experience," said SBM Maritimo dealer principal Steve Batton.
"Our plan is to have boats both on the Harbour and Pittwater to take the children and their parents out for a few hours.
"Platinum Concierge is kindly offering hamper lunches for every boat and we will have a sausage sizzle on our marinas at the end of the cruise," he said, adding the idea is to allow the children to decide what they want to do for the day.
"The boat owner will ask the families on the day where they would like to go and what they would like to see," Batton explained. "Kids might want to go for a fish, swim, see the Harbour Bridge or just explore the bays. We don't want to put constraints on these children. It is their day."
Batton said the Cruise would also aim to raise funds for the Foundation by offering boat sponsorships. "We have Platinum, Silver and Bronze Sponsorship opportunities," he said. "Corporations prepared to donate $1000 or more will be able to display banners on selected boats. We also encourage individuals to donate $500 for our Bronze packages."
Interested boat owners and potential sponsors can contact SBM Maritimo Sydney Cruise For A Cure, by phoning (02) 9968 1222 or emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com

Songs we dig #1
This 1997 classic by Blue Boy has recently surfaced in our search for great tunes to play out. Long forgotten but always playing in the backs of our minds I'm always reminded without realising it when listening to Liberation Conversation by Marlena Shaw even though the sample is from Woman Of The Ghetto. The catchy scat 'chorus' taken from this song is the only other vocal part of the song other than "Remember me? I'm the one who had your babies." This refrain is backed throughout by a typically 90s bass beat, nostalgic. The words are haunting and hopeful. When I wanna go back to the heyday of my youth I stick this on, my headphones, break out a bottle of hooch and imagine I'm in my tube top raving away at Liverpool's Paradox Nightclub. Enjoy <3

Zen Monday: #129
It's Zen Monday again, can you believe it? This is the day you tell us what the photo's about, rather than me telling you.
The reason we call it "zen" is loosely (very, very loosely) based on the zen idea of teaching through experience rather than telling--you know, lectures, taking notes, reading books.
So, please experience the photo and let us know what you learn. There's no right or wrong. We're here to have fun.
(Please take the time to scroll down and see the stray dog pics I posted late yesterday.)

I'm feeling the clarity of nothingness, too, Laurie--though actually my nothingness feels rather murky. Although if Steffen (lewi14) is correct, I might just be clearing brain space for new things to come.
Virginia, I hope that's just a Zen Monday comment and not the truth. That is too much.
Kathy, you got the location spot-on, it's BB&B.
You are all brilliant, your comments escalating today in subtlety, if that makes sense (and even if it doesn't). Thanks for a terrific Zen Monday.
