Sepulchral Curse are a band from Finland that plays an old school form of death metal and this is a review of their 2014 ep "A Birth In Death" which was released by Chaos & Hell Productions.
A very heavy, dark and raw old school death metal sound starts off the ep along with some growls and blast beats a few seconds later and the music combines elements from the American, Swedish and Finnish death metal scenes of the early 90's as well as bringing in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
High pitched screams can be heard in certain sections of the recording and when solos and leads are brought into t he music they remain true to the old school death metal sound of the bands musical style which also bring s in a small amount of dark sounding melodies at times and none of the tracks have a modern sound and could easily be mistaken for a death metla demo that was released in the early 90's.
Sepulchral Curse plays a style of death metal that is very, dark heavy and old school sounding as well as avoiding all modern trends and there is never a soft or weak moment to be heard anywhere on the recording, the production sounds very dark, raw, heavy and old school while the lyrics cover death, war and occultism themes.
In my opinion Sepulchral Curse are a very great sounding old school death metal band and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Demonic Pestilence" and "Torn To Shreds". 8 out of 10.

Published: 4 February, 2016
by DAN CARRIER
IT was March 1944 when police officers saw thick, foul-smelling smoke coming from the chimney of a boarded-up house in a small back street near the Arc De Triomphe in Paris.
It was the height of the German Occupation of the city during the Second World War, and the curious patrol decided to investigate.
As a new history of the French capital during the years of 1939 to 1944 by academic David Drake reveals, what they found inside shocked them – even against the backdrop of the daily reality of Paris under Nazi rule.
"There were so many chopped-up limbs and bones forensic experts failed to agree how many people had been killed," writes Drake.
"To add to the mystery, they also discovered a room with metal rings set into the walls and a spy hole in the door."
The house was owned by a Dr Marcel Petoit, an apparently respectable physician. As Drake, who lives in Highgate Newtown, says, Dr Petoit had used the cover of war to commit a series of shocking crimes.
"Petoit had created an 'escape line' for Jews, Allied pilots who had been shot down, deserters from the German army and anyone else who wanted to leave the city," he says.
But it did not exist. The doctor had been killing those he had duped and enriched himself with the valuables and cash they had with them to help them build a new life. While the population were subjected to the daily, state-sponsored barbarity of the Nazi regime, the Penny Dreadful nature of the crimes still had the capacity to shock.
Drake's story of the turbulent events covers everything from the struggle to keep warm, find food and get clothing to the political machinations of how Paris reacted to the presence of German soldiers – from resisters to collaborators, through to the vast majority who simply wanted to find a way to survive.
Using eye-witness reports never before published in English, he tells of four years under Nazi rule.
Drake's love affair with French history started after an exchange trip to a family in Lyon as a 15-year-old. The parents had been in the Resistance, and a trip to Fréjus on the south coast, where the Allies had landed in August 1944, provided further inspiration.
"I remember swimming in the sea and seeing craft that had lain in the waters since 1944," he says.
Drake studied French and politics at university and then, in 1970, spent three years working for the Agence de Presse Libération, a news agency created by Jean-Paul Sartre, in Paris.
Sartre would become the focus of Drake's PhD, which chronicled the philosopher's political evolution.
"I decided to write in a chronological way rather than thematically. I wanted to show how life changed and the reasons it evolved," he said.

In 1940, as the Germans advanced, Drake notes that around three million people fled the city. The wealthy went first: A metalworker cycling through richer areas noted he saw "...not a soul. All windows were locked and bolted."
On June 14, 1940, Parisian Peter de Polnay recalled "a grey stream" of German troops, followed two weeks later by a flying visit by Adolf Hitler.
Hitler, joined by his architect Albert Speer, went on a sightseeing tour at the crack of dawn. As Drake notes, the Nazi chief visited the Opera, where the janitor switched the lights on for the guests. "They were struck by his dignity as the janitor refused a tip," writes Drake. The janitor did not recognise Hitler, and when he was later told of his visitor's identity, he fainted.
Drake creates an image of a city packed with German soldiers seeing the sights, walls decked with proclamations, and huge queues as German bureaucracy set up a rationing system for the limited food stock available – unless you had the funds to access the black market.
The black market is a constant theme – from French gangsters who worked with the Gestapo to make fortunes, to the desperate attempts by the poor to stave off hunger by relying on relatives in rural areas sending food parcels that may or may not reach them.
And Paris bears physical evidence.
"It is now more than 70 years since the swastika flew from the top of the Eiffel Tower and German soldiers mingled with crowds on the Champs-Élysées – and yet visitors will find plenty of reminders," he writes.
These range from bullet and bomb marks on buildings, streets and Metro stations named in honour of resisters, to plaques marking where Jewish people were arrested.
The book tells of dangers and the ways people devised to cope.
"Eighty per cent did what they could to get by, while 20 per cent supported or actively opposed. The majority tried to get on, making as few concessions as possible," he says.
He covers the horror of the Nazi terror that resulted in a huge number of Paris's 200,000 Jewish people murdered. Yet as his research reveals, the unfolding tragedy was coupled with small acts of humanity.
When Jewish people were ordered to wear a Yellow Star, sympathetic Parisians crafted their own and, where the word Jew would be, they identified their own religion, occupation, or even that they liked Swing music.

One thing what would help me a lot, and maybe reduce some of my confusion would be if there was a single table somewhere of all the vocabulary terms that will now be in OWL, perhaps with a * as to which ones are syntactic sugar. As far as I can tell from the current document, most of my existing OWL would be no longer DL, since it lacks type information, and there'd be a lot of new vocabulary items to learn to fix it -- but I can't really evaluate this because it is so difficult to map from the new syntax to the old. There are 10s of thousands of OWL documents out in the world, I'd like to try to figure out the effort to migrate and this would help Could this be done automagically? Would a "convert to OWL11" program be possible - again, this is because I'm confused for a lot of these predicates as to whether they are necessary or just useful to implementors (but ignorable my many users). Another thing that would help, apparently several of the reasoners (Pellet, Fact+, etc.) now handle OWL11 - do any of the editors? Does Topbraid? Having a tool we could use to create owl11 documents would be helpful for exploring the new language -- I'm teaching an OWL course this term, would love to introduce 1.1, but frankly, I still cannot figure out a lot of it from the documents - the concepts are clear, but not the realization (in the non-technical sense of the word) -JH On Oct 23, 2007, at 6:49 AM, Ian Horrocks wrote: > > The motivation for properties such as subObjectPropertyOf is not > related to punning.

And what a time it was
We had our second and final yard sale of the summer today. The whole Portland garage sale tradition is a wonderful thing, and it was fun (in a tiring sort of way) to participate in it.
This one was a real milestone. Down the driveway went the last vestiges of babyhood in our household. We had been trying for a while to unload the double jogging stroller and the crib (neither of which had been used much); today they glided away with ease.
There are a few boxes of leftovers for Goodwill, but that's pretty much the end of our infant days. It's worth stopping to think about. We've got so many wonderful moments ahead, but already we're a little wistful about the times we miss with our two spectacular newborns. We had thought we knew what parenthood was all about, having watched our friends and family do it. But until your own baby breathes her first breath in your presence, you have no idea.
Last night we had the Media Player running through some Randy Newman -- dark stuff, in part because Randy shows you every time that he's experienced the light, too. The last track that played before we called it a night was "Ghosts." To us it seemed not a little like Dickens's Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Part of it goes like this:
Out in the streetGod bless our baby days, and the days ahead.
There's little colored kids playing
Where my own little boy used to play
So I sit in this chair
And I ache with the gout
And I talk to myself
'Cause I'm scared to go out
And I just want to know
What was it all about

Just over a week ago, Black Husky released the newest beer in their Beware of the Dog series, Harold the Imperial Red, an Imperial (8.9% ABV) Amber (Red) Ale. Brewed in remembrance of Harold, the dog who inspired Harold the Red, this Imperial Red is a big beer. There is a huge range in what can be classified as an amber ale, ranging from very malty with little to no hop presence, to the hoppier American amber ale which is also very malty but can have a strong hop flavor and aroma without being overly bitter. The malt often has notes of caramel or toffee from the lightly kilned malts that are used to brew it. However, it should never have the roasted malt characteristics of darker beers like a stout or porter. Imperial Red just means that it's a bigger and bolder version of a standard red; often maltier, sometimes hoppier, and definitely with a higher ABV.
All of the Black Husky beers that I have had so far have been excellent, so as with any new Black Husky release, I rushed out to pick up a couple bottles before they sold out. I was interested to try the Black Husky twist on an Imperial Red. On to the review.
They Say:
Nothing that is felt about Harry can be put into words. We simply offer you our Imperial Red in remembrance of Harry and all that he was and meant to us. Either you understand that or you don't – either way "belly up to the bar" and have one in memory of Harold and whoever your Harold might be. P.S. For those of you looking for the interminable beer description, Harry would have said "What part of Imperial Red don't you understand?"
11 IBUs
I Say:
Harold the Imperial Red pours a brilliantly clear deep reddish amber with a thick, creamy tan head that holds excellent retention through the entire glass. The aroma is very complex for a red ale, containing toffee, caramel, cotton candy, caramely melanoidans , sweet alcohols, with an earth, herbal finish that has slight dark cherry notes. The aroma develops a smoky character as it warms.
The flavor has strong notes of toffee, caramel, and dark, sweet cherries. The sweet alcohols noticeable in the aroma are less noticeable in the flavor, but they remain in the background, only coming out stronger as Harold warms. The finish is mildly fruity with subtle earthy notes leading to a semi-sweet, malty aftertaste. This is a very malty red ale, with a very low hop bitterness. Harold the Imperial Red is full bodied with a moderate level of carbonation.
Many commercial red ales are one dimensional with subtle toffee and caramel, Harold the Imperial Red on the other hand is complex in both the flavor and the aroma, and more enjoyable because of its complexity. As with the other Black Husky beers that I have had, Harold the Imperial Red does not disappoint.
Harold the Imperial Red should still be in stock at both Rays Wine and Spirits in Milwaukee, and Three Cellars in Franklin. If you don't live in the Milwaukee area check out the "Find our Beer" page at Black Husky Brewing to find it near you.
That's all for today, check back later this week for another post!

Not everyone is aware of the most recent round of mortgage rule changes recently implemented by our government. This is why it is more important than ever to work with a Mortgage Broker who is a true professional in the world of mortgages.
These changes already have or will affect most Canadians, and that means you, whether you are a current homeowner or are looking to buy a home.
These changes are heavily impacting home buyers and home owners in a few ways:
1. They make it more challenging to qualify for a mortgage
The first change announced was the introduction of a "stress test" . The term stress test refers to a higher interest rate that now has to be used to qualify you for a mortgage. Essentially, by qualifying at a higher rate it means you can still afford your mortgage should rates go up during your 5 year term. Remember, this rate is not what you will actually be paying, you will be paying what is called the contract rate.
To put this in perspective, the lowest 5 year fixed rate for qualified borrowers as of today is 2.59%*. The stress test requires we base your payment off a rate of 4.64%. That is just over a 2% difference and affects the purchase price most people qualify for by reducing it by approx. 20%. So, if you qualify for a purchase price of $350000 at the contract rate of 2.59%*, under the new rules of qualifying at 4.64* you would qualify for approx. $280000.
2. They reduce options for those needing or wanting to refinance or buy a rental property.
The government eliminated the option for rental properties and mortgage refinances to be insured by one of our three insurers in Canada, the most common being Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). This means the funds lenders use for these programs are more expensive. This is where things get a little more complicated as different banks and lenders have different sources of money that they use to lend to us for our mortgages and leads to the final impact of these changes.
3. They have increased the cost of borrowing through interest rates and higher mortgage insurance costs. This is happening in a few different ways:
a. They are increasing the cost to mortgage insurance
b. They eliminated mortgage insurance for those buying rental properties and wanting to refinance which means the cost of funds on these products went up for the lender and of course they pass this on to us, the consumer, through potentially higher interest rates
c. They changed the criteria to qualify for an insured mortgage which means if you are outside of the parameters you may face a higher interest rate. This is affecting mostly strong borrowers with 20% down payment or more which does not make sense.
It's also important to note the changes impact different lenders differently. Some lenders have investors and some have their own money to lend (which is really our money that we deposit and invest with them that they turn around and lend out, at a higher rate then they pay us on our savings and investments). This means not all lenders and banks are on an equal playing field anymore. And this means less options and less choice for the Canadian mortgage consumer.
I personally don't think a change made by the government should reduce options available to Canadians and increase costs. This is not how a free market is supposed to work. A free market is an economic system in which prices are determined by unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses. It is no longer a fair playing field in the world of mortgages and that has led to reduced options and higher costs.
It is now more important than ever before to work with a professional who understands these changes and the impact they have on mortgages and your options. I am the perfect person to guide you through and help you navigate these uncertain waters. I am always available to discuss these changes in detail as to how they may affect you or someone you know.

Star Jones Brings Daytime Drama to VH1 for 'Divas' Series: I Had a Lot to Work With
Star Jones isn't afraid to spill the beans.
The former View co-host first penned a book inspired by her dramatic tenure on the ABC daytime talk show in a 2011 work of fiction called Satan's Sisters. Once again, she's revisiting her time working alongside Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and the rest of the team to bring the drama back to the small screen, this time as a scripted series for VH1.
"I've seen everybody, heard everything, the least of which is an affair behind the scenes, so I had a lot of stuff to work with," Jones, who is an exec producer on the series, told reporters Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
Headlined by Vanessa Williams, Daytime Divas focuses on the women co-hosting the fictional daytime series The Lunch Hour. Williams said she was surprised to get a call about Jones about the project. "I read the book and it is scan-da-lous," Williams said. "I said, 'You're going to actually put this on television?!'"
Although Jones promised the series would be salacious just like the book, she revealed she did have one rule when it came to what to reveal and what not to reveal about her real-life experiences on The View.
"My only rule was I would not violate any of the closed-door sessions that I had with my co-hosts," she said. "You really can't tell the secrets of someone you put your Spanx on with. … You can't cross that line."
Other lines Jones and the writers are willing to cross include the language barriers some might expect on a basic cable network like VH1. Upcoming episodes include several f-bombs and "a couple of d's, b's and a's," Jones said.
"I can tell you as my first executive producer job, the most fun I ever had was when standards and practices sends in their notes and tells me that we have two shits and four damns," she continued. "Needless to say the language is salty enough. … It's subtle salt without having to really pour salt in the wounds."
Speaking of salt in the wounds, just how Jones' former co-hosts feel about her using behind-the-scenes clashes as inspiration for a TV show?
"I can sincerely tell you that the only thing that I have heard from my former co-hosts, especially Joy Behar is: 'Who is playing me?'" Jones said.
However, the best may be yet to come in potential future seasons of Daytime Divas, which launches later this year.
"It didn't have all the tea in it from the book but we've got plenty of places to go," Williams said. "The first 10 episodes are just a smidgen."

We investigate the effect of trade integration on interstate military conflict. Our empirical analysis, based on a large panel data set of 243,225 country-pair observations from 1950 to 2000, confirms that an increase in bilateral trade interdependence significantly promotes peace. It also suggests that the peace-promotion effect of bilateral trade integration is significantly higher for contiguous countries that are likely to experience more conflict. More importantly, we find that not only bilateral trade but global trade openness also significantly promotes peace. It shows, however, that an increase in global trade openness reduces the probability of interstate conflict more for countries far apart from each other than it does for countries sharing borders. The main finding of the peace-promotion effect of bilateral and global trade integration holds robust when controlling for the simultaneous determination of trade and peace.From the conclusions
Our findings also suggest that trade integration not merely results in economic gains, but can bring about significant political gains as well—such as a peace dividend between trading partners. It also explains why economic integration, whether regional or global, is often initiated to satisfy political and security motives. For example, the raison d'etre behind the formation of the European Union following World War II was the desire for peace—particularly between France and Germany. Further research on quantitative assessments of peace dividends resulting from economic integration would be of great interest. (p. 23).
A stronger version of that argument is the movement of people. Besides some studies that look at migration and peace within countries, I have not seen studies linking migration flows and peace among countries and regions - a nice research topic.

Oh, how I laughed when people kept telling me about Game of Thrones. Nerds, I thought. Who wants to watch some medieval tale about a fight to be king. With dragons in it too. And wolves. And weird brother/sister relationships. And made up languages.
Then I started seeing all these pop culture references pop up and it annoyed me that I didn't know what they meant and why they were so highly amusing. So I thought I'd download the first episode and if I could get through that then I'd make an assessment on where to go next.
That was barely a month ago.
I have emerged from the other side of Season Three. Barely. Addicted. With post traumatic stress. I cried. In several episodes. My ringtone is the Game of Thrones theme. I want Jon Snow's babies.
Do you watch it? Please, I need a Game of Thrones group hug and if you've watched season 3, episode 9 you'll know exactly why!

Photo by Wayne Houser – "Clarinet in the Park"
For a fast, fabulous, fall bulletin board…start with a black background….fabric, construction paper or cardstock.
Do you have a favorite photo with fall colors…a scenery poster?
I found the poster above at www.allposters.com
I love fall, I miss living where leaves change colors, where the air has the crisp scent of fall.
Here behind the Orange Curtain, if there is a crisp smell in the air, it is more than likely a fire burning somewhere in So Cal.
Once I have the board covered with the black background, I will pick the main focal point. Then, I add those leaves that I miss so badly.
I purchase or make colorful leaves.
If your school has the Ellison Die cut machine, you are sure to have two dies of leaves, one oak and one maple. I have taken a field trip to the junior high where it is stored and have happily cut out leaves in fall colors to my heart's content.
Check out the Ellison web site. I found that they had die cuts on clearance. Maybe it's more than the 'budget theme' that I shoot for, but $20.00 for a die cut that you and other teachers will get a lot of use out of, is a good thing. You can visit them at www.ellison.com/
Lately I have been a bit more creative with the leaves. At Michael's crafts you can find a bag of silk fall leaves for around $1.99.
These seem to add more interest and dimension to the display and can be seen here with Mary Englebreit posters.
Last December when I was shopping for Christmas treats for my student helpers, I came across three bunches of preserved fall leaves at my local grocery store. Three bunches for $.99 cents. Now that's a bargain to a scrapbooker and a library tech.
If you are fortunate enough to live where the leaves change, you can check out this web site for instructions on drying leaves yourself. http://www.twokitties.typepad.com/my_weblog
By separating the leaf bunch into
sections, I was able to cover the metal edge of
the board and draw attention to the colorful book book jackets that I featured for this month.
By loosely attaching the leaves,
it looks like they are falling in an October breeze.
Can I talk anymore about how much I LOVE the Cricut Expressions machine? If you are lucky enough to have this machine, or know someone who you can enlist to be your new best friend…so you can borrow it from time to time…you can quickly cut out the saying for the bulletin board in no time at all.
In about an hour, I had this bright, eye catching display ready for my students.
Hope that you too are able to fall into one of the many new YA novels that are being released this fall. Happy Reading!

"We had switched from non-violence to violence... There was just no more avenues of peaceful protest left." [2:38]Ahmed Kathrada explains why the African National Congress took up armed struggle and the role that armed struggle played over time. Born in 1929, Ahmed "Kathy" Kathrada dropped out of high school to do political work, participating in many campaigns of the Congress Alliance. He was active in the Transvaal Indian (Youth) Congress and the South African Communist Party and was detained and put under house arrest. He went underground in 1963 and was one of the accused at the Rivonia Trial, although he was not a member of the ANC military wing.

text: DigitalDesign Students Compete for World Sneaker Championship TitleBy Stephanie Murg|August 18, 2014 ShareBy Stephanie Murg|August 18, 2014 ShareIt started with 30 carefully selected design students from 16 countries. Divided into eight design teams, with three footwear designers and one color and materials designer in each, they took an original design idea from concept to finished design over the course of four weeks as competitors in the World Sneaker Championship. Part footwear design master class and part sneaker smackdown, the event is organized by Pensole, the footwear design academy founded in 2010 by Nike veteran D'Wayne Edwards, and after Friday's presentations to industry pros, the finalists (in eight categories and for eight sponsoring brands) have been chosen. Head to the online home of Sports Illustrated by 6 p.m. EST Wednesday to cast your online vote for the overall winning design as the finalists head to Vegas to present their designs at the FN Platform trade show.

There never seem to be enough burger bars or burger concepts! Over the past 15 years, the traditional burger has undergone many makeovers in the continual quest for the best, most interesting burger in the land. Burgers have become among the most popular, convenient meals, with fast food establishments on almost every corner. But as burgers have been reinvented and consumer demand has increased, so has the public's knowledge of its side effects. The population's constant struggle with obesity coupled with the recent popularity of gluten-free diets might lead one to think that burger bars today emphasize healthier alternatives.
Unfortunately, that is not the case…and we believe Iceburger will be the solution to this dilemma.
Let's be honest. Consumers will never abandon their favorite food. After all, who can resist a delicious, juicy burger? Our concept is to still provide that same delicious burger sandwiched between crisp lettuce instead of buns. Patrons can choose from salmon, turkey, bison, lentil, mushroom and vegetable burgers. To further accommodate discerning consumers, our meat will be kosher and halal-approved. This concept will defy the preconceived notion that "healthy burgers" taste bad. Through our methods and unique creativity, we will assemble and present a reimagined, mouthwatering meal favorite. We also incorporate another consumer favorite, a cupcake bar.
We will use a minimalist industrial design with elements that speak to a fresh, clean, and crisp environment without feeling too sterile. Interiors will feature warm colors that entice the senses, even for the healthy and organic palate, with a distinctive look and feel. This friendly and approachable concept is not the standard commercialized "fast food" restaurant. Its design shows we care about customers and the environment.
Menu offerings include creatively designed sliders filled with a choice of Angus beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, crab, and lentil as well as a veggie burger. The unique element of Iceburger is that instead of using regular buns, we will offer all types of burgers placed between baby iceberg lettuce, providing a healthier burger sandwich. Our burgers and sliders will be accompanied by a variety of salsas, aioli, dressings, and our hand-cut fries with chili spices including truffle fries. For dessert? Cupcakes at our cupcake bar for guests with a sweet tooth.
Besides the standard beverages such as sodas, lemonade, iced tea, and juices, there will be a large focus on smoothies and "healthy style" beverages to accompany the meals, including frozen yogurt shakes.
Semi self-serve concept: order at a counter and food is brought to the table with an assigned number. Takeout will also be available along with special cupcake orders.
The overall visuals will be white, representing a clean, forest-green organic theme. There will also be a blend of rustic concrete walls and a natural feel with the industrial ceiling. We will have clean, white tables and serve food on wooden planks, aluminum trays, and custom-designed baskets. Uniquely designed cups for fries and burger holders will be used with 100-percent recyclable material. The overall theme speaks to clean, healthy, organic, environmental awareness.

Parents face shortage of childcare services, says EU report
Childcare services in EU countries are failing to respond to the needs of parents, despite some progress, according to a report today by the European Commission. The report finds that most countries have missed the targets for childcare provision – for 90% of children between three and school age and 33% of children under three – that EU leaders set themselves at Barcelona in 2002. The 'Barcelona targets' are an integral part of the EU's strategy for growth and jobs and aim to help young parents – and in particular women – into work. Today's report forms part of a broader package of measures by the Commission to improve work-life balance for Europeans (see IP/08/1450).
"We are far from reaching our targets on childcare facilities and need to step up our efforts! Adequate and accessible childcare is crucial to allow parents to work, to strengthen gender equality and to reinforce social inclusion," said Vladimír Špidla, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. "Childcare is also a vital ingredient in facing up to demographic ageing: without proper support services, parents are less likely to have children. The current provision remains inadequate. National governments need to address the challenge and the EU will support their efforts with half a billion euros of EU funding up until 2013 to help develop childcare facilities."
There is a direct link between childcare provision and access for parents to paid employment. Across the EU, more than 6 million women aged 25-49 say they are forced into not working, or can only work part-time, because of their family responsibilities. For more than a quarter of them, lack of childcare facilities – or their cost – is the main problem. Access to good quality, affordable childcare operating at hours to suit parents and children is thus key to facilitating women's access to the labour market.
Allowing parents to work can also help avoid in-work poverty and reduce poverty in single-parent households, which suffer a much higher poverty rate (32%) than that for all households with a child (17%).
Finally, against the background of the current demographic slowdown in Europe, provision of adequate childcare is an incentive to plan a family. Those Member States with the highest birth rates are also those which have done most to facilitate work-life balance for parents and which have a high rate of female employment.
Today's report provides, for the first time, harmonised and comparable data on the use of "formal" systems of childcare services in the Member States. These figures show that the demand for childcare is far from being met in most EU countries, hampering parents (especially women) from working. Although there has been some progress, a lot still needs to be done to achieve satisfactory levels of childcare provision, particularly for children under three.
The situation could be improved both by opening new childcare facilities and by professionalising informal childcare, for example by setting quality standards, improving conditions of employment and remuneration, and staff training. In addition, the more specific needs of parents with atypical working hours or sick children must also be met.
All stakeholders, in particular national and local authorities as well as employers and employees, will need to play an active part in developing the provision of accessible, affordable and quality early childcare services. The Commission has no direct powers in the field of childcare. However, it will support progress towards the Barcelona targets and will in particular:

Wow it's been almost a year since I last posted. Kendrick is sitting up no problem, crawling with ease, and pulling himself up to standing all the time. Just got done with a bout of Roseola, but hopefully today he is back to normal.
Donovan is a little pistol. Doing great but doesn't eat well yet or sleep through the night ever. Loves his brother, but the sibling rivalry has started already. He likes to get up in Kendrick's grill a lot and just generally annoy him. All in all, both are doing great, and they keep us on our toes.
So there is your quick yearly update. OK, hopefully that's not true, I hope to post more as my free time decreases.

Adrian (aka 'Chief') has been a stalwart of the annual Red, White and Blue tournament for eight years now. He's come close to winning a couple of times, but his aggressive play off the tee, while exciting to watch, has always meant that eventually the big numbers have come and the Big Club has eluded his grasp once again. Recently, however, the Chief has taken to hitting irons off the tee (further than some of us hit driver, I might add) and the results have been impressive. Could 2014 prove to be the year that the Chief finally achieves his dream and takes the Big Club home to impress Mrs Chief?
The field was a little smaller than usual this year, but here are the men that stood in his way – and how they fared:
Many thanks to all who took part in the RWB this year and congratulations on the stunning array of gift wrapped prizes. As Stan Mills said: " I don't really want to win the tournament – I just want to see who gets what in the prizes!" No Indonesian sex gods this year (Mike Worley was away) but I got a flagon of beer, a bottle of wine and about 200 'experienced' golf balls. It took away a lot of the pain brought on by three rounds of decidedly average golf. Thanks, mystery donor!
Hope to see you all next Labour Day weekend for the 15th annual running of the Red, White and Blue.
All da best and hail to the Chief!

New stretch target
Funds raised over the initial target will be donated to Parkinson's UK
Funds raised over the initial target will be donated to Parkinson's UK
Break world record for fastest marathon dressed in a superhero costume as SPIDERMAN aiming for sub 230.
I'm running the London Marathon and attempting to break the world record for fastest marathon dressed in a superhero costume. The existing record was set in the 2012 Toronto marathon by "The Flash" and the time to beat is 2:33:58. I'm aiming to run under 2:30 and given my marathon pb is 2:16:49 you would think this is easy but keep in mind that last Sunday I won the Manchester marathon in 2:17:47 so I have 1 week to recover! I obviously have the added impairment of running in a full body lycra spiderman suit and I have no idea how difficult this will be. So get behind me and donate a bit of cash!
I'm essentially going to be a sub 2:30 pacer so if I help you out on Sunday then that's surely worth a pound or 2 per mile;-) or if you see me running round the streets and enjoyed what you saw then all pledges appreciated. Or if you jist want to get behind a crazy idea then go nuts! The most fun you can have with your clothes on surely!
The initial target to reach is £600 which mainly goes towards the Guinness World Record service fees. Without their Fast Track service I wouldn't be able to go for the record! All money above and beyond this goes to the Parkinson's UK charity.
This project offers rewards in return for your donation.

We continue our look at the work of Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow (1789 - 1862) with an exploration of Mignon, painted in 1828.
Mignon is a character in the novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832), one of the most brilliant men of his (or any other) age. The hero of the novel dreams of spending his life in the theater. When an actress breaks his heart, he sets off with a touring company. While on the road he meets Mignon, an androgynous child, who he rescues from an abusive circus troupe that kidnapped her as a small child. Mignon travels with Wilhelm, acting as a grateful servant, but essentially becoming like a daughter to him. She also has the weird ability to mirror Wilhelm's own emotions, which she expresses in her songs and poems.
Mignon is one of the novel's supporting characters, but it is she, perhaps, who has fascinated readers and other artists the most, especially composers. Hundreds of pieces of music (and an opera) have been written in her name; her role as muse, both within and without the novel, is secure.
Thomas Carlyle translated the book into English in 1824, and praised the creation of Mignon in his introduction. This mysterious child, at first neglected by the reader, gradually forced on his attention, at length overpowers him with an emotion more deep and thrilling than any poet since the days of Shakespeare has succeeded in producing. The daughter of enthusiasm, rapture, passion and despair, she is of the earth, but not earthly. When she glides before us through the light mazes of her fairy dance, or twangs her cithern to the notes of her homesick verses, or whirls her tambourine and hurries round us like an antique Mænad, we could almost fancy her a spirit; so pure is she, so full of fervour, so disengaged from the clay of this world. And when all the fearful particulars of her story are at length laid together, and we behold in connected order the image of her hapless existence, there is, in those dim recollections, those feelings so simple, so impassioned and unspeakable, consuming the closely-shrouded, woe-struck, yet ethereal spirit of the poor creature, something which searches into the inmost recesses of the soul. It is not tears which her fate calls forth; but a feeling far too deep for tears. The very fire of heaven seems miserably quenched among the obstructions of this earth. Her little heart, so noble and so helpless, perishes before the smallest of its many beauties is unfolded; and all its loves and thoughts and longings do but add another pang to death, and sink to silence utter and eternal.
Various complications ensue throughout the novel (as is often the case in both literature and life): there's a long digression with a book-within-the-book, and finally we are back to the story of Wilhelm. He ends up at a mysterious castle where he meets members of the secret Society of the Tower, who have been manipulating events all along. It turns out that Wilhelm's life is a scroll in their library – a fine, surrealist ending for a wondrously strange novel. Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship is not just a coming-of-age tale, but a novel of ideas, asking us to question the nexus between art and reality, experience and illusion, memory and fact.
Mignon expresses, for Goethe, a yearning for a lost world, for a time long vanished. Schadow's portrait created some controversy with critics claiming that it was inappropriate for Schadow to translate the poetic into the visual. Schadow, however, insisted on the crucial transforming role of art in society and art's religious mission, providing a nearly Christian reading of Goethe's character. In his painting Schadow transforms Goethe's heroine into an allegory of Romantic art, nudging Goethe's Enlightenment sensibility into something closer to his own Nazarene convictions.
One of the most striking things about Schadow's picture of Mignon is its Renaissance feel. One could almost imagine the shade of a sympathetic Raphael at his side – the delicate molding of the head, arms, and gentle twist of the body all seem, to my eye, evocative of Raphael. Both the cithern (much like a modern mandolin) and the angel's wings clearly mark Mignon as an Angel of Music, both muse and performer. Her placid cast of beauty is also deeply "spiritual;" Schadow's Mignon does not live on the same plain as we mere mortals. That she also seems to inhabit a cave or grotto further removes her from the reality of our brick and mortar world.
Also of interest is the gauzy material enveloping Mignon's shoulders. The blue of this gauze is too evocative of the blue often associated with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. As Mary gave birth to mankind's transcendence, so too does Mignon give birth to a type of transcendence by inspiring artists, poets and actors.
It is no surprise that Schadow, one of the most Catholic of Enlightenment-era painters, would transform an artistic muse into a Christian angel.

Washington D.C. man loses suit against Maryland Live over roulette wheel errorLeander Stocks of Washington, D.C., claimed that a roulette ball flew off a wheel at the Maryland Live Casino, injuring him in the process. Stocks sued for injuries sustained during the incident wanting a sum of $300,000. Stocks has now been denied his claims.
Stocks claimed the operator of the roulette game was negligent in operating the wheel which
resulted in the ball to go airborne. Stocks was struck by the runaway ball. A lawsuit was then filed by Stocks in the United States District Court of Washington.
The incident took place back in 2013 and the suit was not claimed until November 2014, with negligence and battery claims filed. Stocks wanted the Cordish Companies, the brand behind the casino, to pay up for his injuries.
When the incident occurred, Stocks was given eye drops from a casino employee and then he fell, hitting his head on a door. He reportedly was knocked out and treated for a concussion. It took until this last week for the case to go to trail and the roulette dealer, Mildred Morse, was cleared of being negligent by the judge before the case even went in front of a jury.
A casino security guard also faced charges, this time of battery. Turner was cleared as well. The judge apparently felt like the claims were invalid especially considering the injury took place after the roulette ball had cleared from the wheel.
This is just one of many crazy incidents in which individuals try to blame the casino for something that is silly or inappropriate. Stocks now will get nothing and the casino can continue to go about their business as usual. This will most likely not be the last crazy case to come forward when it comes to the casino industry as players often try to earn money when none is due.

Questions about selecting a franchise system
In this section, experts answer the questions most commonly asked by franchise candidates on how to search for and select a franchise system.
Does franchising reduce the risks of a business start-up?
According to the study "Franchising – A guarantee for success for business start-ups", which was published by the International Centre for Franchising and Cooperation (F&C) at the University of Münster in 2005, the failure rate among franchised businesses is considerably lower than among traditional business start-ups.
Whilst those entrepreneurs who start up a business in the "traditional" manner have to first find customers through expensive marketing measures, franchisees generally benefit from working with a well-known brand, from the network's market presence and from the confidence the customers already have in the brand. Many mistakes can be avoided thanks to the tried and tested business model, the system-specific training courses and the competent support given by the head office. This makes it possible for the franchisee to build up his/her business more quickly and achieve a higher average turnover.
Even the best franchise system, however, cannot guarantee a franchisee's success. The most important factor for success is the franchisee himself with all of his experience and skills as well as his potential and commitment to the business.

Orange Leaf: A dessert lover's dream come true

I'd like to make a confession: I have a small dessert problem. Actually, it's not that small. It's an "I-can't-survive-a-single-day-without-it" kind of problem. To me, a meal is just not complete without a sweet treat at the end. Whether it is cake, ice cream, cupcakes, brownies or pie — I...
