Housekeeper Mark Sintorella (Sinders) works diligently at a resort hotel while designing clothes anonymously, hoping to get into fashion school. Then his carefully planned life is upended with the arrival of Ashton Armitage, son of the fifth richest man in America - and the most beautiful guy Mark has ever seen. Ash must find a wife or he'll lose his grandfather's inheritance, and he settles on Bitsy Fanderel. But secretly Ash is gay, and the guy who cleans the fireplaces sets his heart ablaze.
Further stirring the pot is the little elf of a man, Carstairs Pennymaker, who has Mark wearing his own designs and masquerading as a girl to impress the fashion investors in the hotel. When the clock strikes 12, two beautiful princesses line up for the wedding - but one isn't a woman. Will the slipper fit? Only Mr. Pennymaker knows for sure.

Definitely a Fairy Tale
Mark "Sinders" Sinterello is a housekeeper who dreams of being a fashion designer. Ashton Armitage is a closeted millionaire in search of a bride in order to satisfy the terms of his grandfather's will. The will states Ash must marry prior to his twenty-fifth birthday in order to receive his $500+ million inheritance or it all goes to charity. Ash has procrastinated because he's gay and doesn't want to marry a woman and he literally only has weeks before his birthday to meet and marry someone.
Enter Carstairs Pennymaker, a tiny elf of a man, who acts as a sort of Fairy Godfather and takes Sinders under his wing, and works diligently to steer the two men together.
This is definitely a "fairy tale" and it requires almost complete suspension of all disbelief. I'll be honest and say, for me, it was alright, especially the narration by Kale Williams, but the story didn't really thrill me.
Bottom line: The pacing is good, the narration better, it has some nice sexy times, and a hard won HEA.

Nice narration and an interesting spin on the tale

Why women feel fitter and flirtier when they hit 50
FOR women, it seems, life actually does begin at 50.
According to a study women are at their happiest in their fifth decade.
After a lifetime of diets and body hang-ups, three quarters of women (76 per cent) feel more self-assured in their 50s than they did in their 20s.
More than a third (36 per cent) are happier than ever with their looks and one in seven (16 per cent) feel fitter and sexier than ever.
In fact, almost half (47 per cent) are so happy they love their body more than they did in their 20s.
The research, of 40 to 74-year-olds by clothing company Cotton Traders, found women at 50 have quit calorie counting and turned to exercise.
A third of women (33 per cent) have started to work out more in their 50s.
Forty-five per cent ditched diets for good, while two thirds of women (66 per cent) spend less time and money on personal grooming once they hit their half century.
Shona Jameson, at Cotton Traders, said: "Women are older, wiser and happier when they reach 50."
Reaching 50 means I can finally be who I really am without any concerns or worries
Four in 10 said life gets less stressful with age while 55 per cent said they're in their most satisfying relationship.
One fifty-something who this week appeared happy with her middle-aged lot was Carol Vorderman.
The former Countdown host, 53, was all smiles as she stepped out with boyfriend Graham Duff, 14 years her junior, at the BAFTA Games Awards in London on Wednesday night.
Social worker Elizabeth Chivers, 52, from Nantwich, Cheshire, took part in the survey. She said: "Reaching 50 means I can finally be who I really am without any concerns or worries."
She has, she added, learnt to "love my body and live life to the full".
Ms Jameson added: "Our customers are more confident, more satisfied in their relationships and living life to the full in their fifth decade.
"It really seems life begins at 50."

COLUMBUS, Ga. – One learning center in Columbus is putting a magical twist on learning. Oxbow Meadows hosted Frogwarts for the second straight year. Adults and kids alike dressed as witches and wizards from the Harry Potter Universe and got a crash course in several areas of science.
Frogwarts is one of three major fundraisers for Oxbow Meadows. Folks got a chance to take alchemy, potions and herbology classes.
"Frogwarts is a day dedicated to the magical world of science," says education program manager Lauren Johnson. "We have a lot of hands-on science experiments for kids and grown-ups to all participate in and even in muggle and wizard outfits."
Some of those hands-on experiments included exploding film canisters, magnetic and galaxy slime, clouds in a bottle and balancing balloons on a wand.
"We really want to give the community something to do, to engage learning but to also have something a little different and fun to do for the afternoon," says Johnson.

Their portfolio halved in value to about £4,800, ranking the club 245th out of 295 clubs in The Daily Telegraph Barclays Stockbrokers Investment Club Competition.
Peter Robins, 57, the club's secretary, hopes the club's "long-term strategy" will produce profits over the coming years.
"We'll be looking in particular for recovery stocks in 2009; that is, ones that have had a rough time but are well placed to soar in value once market conditions improve,'' he said. "Sectors we will be considering include oil and mining, as these have suffered, but both have the growing scarcity of materials in their favour and should do well next year."
It was Mr Robins' idea to start the club in May, 2001. He used to market Abbey's Sharesave schemes before he retired, so already had an interest in the stock market. "We were all members of charitable social club, Chatham Round Table No 45, hence our name, so we got together on a regular basis for various activities," he said.
"Once we passed the age of 45 we were no longer able to do this, and wanted to find a means of getting together in future. An investment club seemed the perfect solution."
The 10 members meet every two months in the Who'd Ha Thought It pub in Rochester, Kent, and while stock market turbulence made 2008 difficult, they have produced substantial profits in earlier years. In May last year members each realised £2,000 profits from the club's portfolio.
"We had built our portfolio up to £25,000, and one member wanted to take profits for his wife's 50th birthday present, so we all agreed to do this," he said.
At the time, they had several star stocks that had more than doubled in value, including marine engineering group Hamworthy, listed on the Alternative Investment Market (Aim) and property company British Land, listed on the
The club now has nine holdings, with a mixture of blue-chip stocks on the FTSE 100, and smaller, riskier companies listed on the Aim and FTSE 250. Members pay a monthly subscription of £25, which is pooled and used to buy new stock. They have had their fingers burned, buying 600 shares last July in beleaguered Northern Rock at £1.49 each.
Mr Robins said: "We chose the stock as a speculative move, and because we thought the bank would get over its problems. Now, we have no choice but to hold these and wait to see what's going to happen."
Shareholders are claiming compensation from the Government, which is expected to argue that the bank would have gone into administration had it not stepped in. The court case begins next Monday.
Last month members bought 200 shares at £3.84 each in Aviva, the insurance giant listed on the FTSE 100. They hope to benefit from dividend payments and plan to hold on to this stock for several years. This week shares were about £4.06.
Aviva, which owns Norwich Union, says it conserved capital last year and put acquisitions on hold in case of "better opportunities over the next 18 months", according to the insurer's chief executive Andrew Moss. It lifted business by 12pc in the first nine months of the year. But steep falls in equity and bond prices since mid-September dented insurers' capital reserves before the share price began its recent recovery.
"The first six years were great, but it has been very difficult recently as every share we bought seemed to go down,'' Mr Robins said. ''Yet you've just got to be in it for the long haul and avoid panicking – by being patient and holding our nerve we reckon we'll see a lot of stocks recover."
- The 2008 competition ended on December 31. If your club was registered in the 2008 competition, it will have been automatically entered for the 2009 competition, which started on January 2. Clubs that fancy their chances in the 2009 Daily Telegraph Barclays Stockbrokers Investment Club Competition can register for the £1,000 quarterly prizes by calling 0141 352 3620.

Reconfiguring the School Week - Public Consultation (ENDED 14 NOVEMBER 2008)
Aberdeen City Council is writing to ask for your views on possible changes to the way we organise the length of the school week. We would welcome comments from parents, pupils, staff, parent councils, local businesses and anyone else with an interest in this proposal. No decision has yet been made and we do want to hear your views
Why we are considering this change
Aberdeen City Councils partnership agreement Vibrant, Dynamic and Forward Looking sets out the policies which we believe will deliver Aberdeen Citys vision to be a city which is vibrant, dynamic, forward looking - an even better place to live and work, where people can expect high-quality services that meet their needs.
Education is a key element of the agreement and the council is committed to the principle that; The best possible education for all our children is essential if we are to ensure that Aberdeen and its citizens have a prosperous future.
There are significant changes being planned for the way education is to be delivered in Scottish schools. The new curriculum for Scottish education is known as Curriculum for Excellence and schools are currently engaged in developing this for implementation at a local level.
Working together with other organisations is an important part of Curriculum for Excellence and schools will need to build strong partnerships with a range of organisations including colleges, universities, employers, Skills Development Scotland, community learning and development, the voluntary sector, youth work and other providers to deliver a personalised learning experience for every child and young person. To allow and encourage this to happen there will need to be time and opportunities for all these groups and organisations to meet and work together and we expect the half day to be very useful in supporting this.
Aberdeen City Council is currently working to develop a Strategy for Learning based on Curriculum for Excellence but developed to meet local needs as closely as possible. We believe that a four and a half day week would help deliver this strategy.
Possible changes to the school week
Instead of each school day being the same length, the change could mean four days of the week being a little longer and on one day a week every school would finish earlier. The result would be a four and a half day week in school for pupils without any reduction in the total hours attendance and teaching in the school week. This is known to teachers as an asymmetric week and a number of Scottish local authorities are already operating in this way.
The principal benefit would be that many teacher training, development sessions and meetings for head teachers and school staff could be arranged for the pupil free afternoons. This would mean that teachers would not have to be released from as many classes to attend meetings or training and there would be much less disruption to the teaching week for pupils. A further option would be to introduce common start and finish times for secondary schools. This may allow schools to increase the number of higher and vocational courses that they are able to offer on a shared basis and as a result increase the choices for pupils.
For further information on the benefits and implications of this change please refer to the full committee paper on the following page: .
No decision has yet been made and we do want to hear your views which will be considered as part of the consultation process. Any change recommended would apply to all schools across the city.
We do hope you will take this opportunity to participate and influence these important decisions.
Fill out the online questionnaire below, or alternatively you can download a PDF copy of the .
The closing date for responses is 14th November 2008
Any further comments can be emailed to: email@example.com

Well ya, you have to install the network (ethernet) drivers before you can get out to the net, then just run windows update.
You have 30 days to activate windows, you don`t have to rush that, but you do need a valid key, you don`t want to do all that work then not be able to activate windows.
You said it has a Home Premium COA, so as long as you can read the key, you`re all set.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2014
The product key sticker is intact and not worn.
So, do I just do a save as of the driver files onto the flash drive? Also the bios version on the laptop appears to have 3 newer versions available, would I load just the newest version or do I need to install in order as updates? Thank you for your help.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2014
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit
I wouldn't update the BIOS unless I had a SPECIFIC reason to believe doing so would solve an existing problem.
BIOS updating can go very very wrong, in which case you get to buy a new motherboard. Not to be taken lightly.
Problems the updates are designed to fix are usually mentioned at the motherboard manufacturer's web site.
Windows 7 is very good at providing the proper drivers. The only one I'd be particularly concerned about is the NIC (Internet) driver as you need it to establish connectivity. I might download the others, but probably wouldn't install them unless the drivers supplied by Windows proved to be deficient for some reason.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2014
You always install the latest bios, but as Ignatz has said, don`t worry about that now.
And yes save the network driver to the flash drive.
But I would save it on the pc you`re using too.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2014
Of course, very sensible advice ignat and addram. I guess I'm still a little spun up from lack of sleep and suffering through error after error. The most important thing is to get connectivity at this point. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2014
Look over these steps for doing a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to see how close you've come so far. If not I'd start over and do it again. Everything needed is in the tutorial, including the latest official Win7 installer which I'd use if you have any further problems with the one you "found." Make sure you use the licensed version on the COA sticker which Product Key is used to activate it. Follow the steps closely on drivers.
|My System Specs
|16 Mar 2014
Thank you!!!
AWESOME!!! I cannot thank you all enough. It took several tries to find the correct driver but once I got connectivity back things have been going a lot smoother. After a few more driver installs and 150 or so automatic windows updates everything seems to be working fine. The product key was verified and I am done with this little project.

Mother Christmas Gifts
By: Kate Adams |
Have you ever experienced forgetting a special occasion for your Mom and just realized you still haven't bought any gifts for her just yet? The solution for most people when that happens is to make a quick stop at the store to busy something nice for her, have it gift wrapped and then hand it over to her as if you really didn't forget about the event. However, you should keep in mind that this isn't really the ideal way to do it. First and foremost, gift items can be very expensive that way sometimes and most of the time, you wouldn't get the chance to personalize it for your mother at all.

Flying? Holiday travelers advised to arrive early amid extra airport security
WASHINGTON - If your plans for the next couple of days include airline travel, here's a word of advice: GET THERE EARLY. Security lines were already long Tuesday afternoon at D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, and more of the same is expected as holiday travelers take to the skies.
Extra security is in place at airports around the country following news Monday night that the State Department has issued a worldwide travel alert, warning Americans of possible risks of travel due to increased terrorist threats. The alert states that information suggests ISIS, al-Qaida, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups are planning attacks in multiple regions.
The alert warns travelers to be aware of their surroundings, and avoid large crowds and crowded places, such as holiday festivals and events. Click here for a complete list of tips included in the alert.
Law enforcement sources say the FBI and Homeland Security have issued a 9-page bulletin Monday night. It is known as an after action report of the coordinated attacks in Paris. The bulletin specifically warns that homegrown violent extremists "inspired or directed by" ISIS in Syria could seek to carry out copycat Paris attacks using similar weapons and tactics, but on a "smaller scale."
The bulletin is placing heavy emphasis on the vulnerability of U.S. soft targets and warns ISIS demonstrated in Paris it has the ability to target beyond traditional "government, military and law enforcement officials and facilities."
As a result of the heightened security procedures, the Transportation Security Administration announced a major change in how long you might have to wait in order to get on your plane. The TSA is doubling their official recommendation of passenger airport arrival times, which means instead of arriving an hour before your flight for domestic trips, you're now asked to arrive two hours ahead.
Locally, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) advises international travelers to increase their arrival times from two to three hours prior to takeoff.
On Tuesday, FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald spotted a TSA explosives detection K-9 team on the tarmac at Reagan National,following the State Department's warning. There was a heavy police presence out in force. Police officers are not on post outside, but were stationed on shuttle buses bringing passengers to the terminal. Inside the terminal, we have seen law enforcement on Segways and hybrid bikes in order to cover more ground.
Passengers said they have noticed a difference with airport security while Virginia's governor said the state is remaining vigilant.
"It was heavy with security," said passenger Tanya Wallace. "They are double checking. I had medicine so they had to run tests on the medicine to make sure nothing was in the medicine and stuff like that. So it took a long time to get through security."
"We are doing everything we can at the state level to work with the federal officials," said Va. Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D). I can tell you here today in Virginia that I have no specific threats on us in anything that's gone on. But I'll tell you, we plan like there is every day."
Travelers: What can you bring?
One of the biggest things that holds up the security lines here are people trying to bring prohibited items through TSA checkpoints. They said if they can cut down on that, they can cut down on wait times.
TSA is now trying out some new ways to keep you updated. One of them is a new web tool called "Can I bring?" that you can find on the TSA's website and app. All you do is just type in an item, hit enter and it will tell you if you can bring it through a checkpoint.
The other way is a new Twitter handle @AskTSA. It is staffed by a live TSA official who will respond real-time to questions, complaints and problems at the airport.
Reserve parking in advance
There is also a big logistical component to the recommended arrival times at D.C. airports. Officials at Reagan National Airport said they expect parking to be in high demand over the next week, so when you factor in that two-hour extra security window, you also need to check on the airport's website and add in additional time to find parking.
Reagan National Airport's website allows you reserve a parking space before you arrive. It is aimed at taking the guess work and anxiety out of trying to park.
"The great thing about this website is that if passengers see that the garage is full and they have reserved their parking in advance, they are still able to park in that garage even though it's indicating that the garage is full," said airport spokesperson Kimberly Gibbs.

About Transient Eye
Transient Eye is a two-personal (too personal) blog on photography, with occasional reviews and the odd segue in to commentaries on science, culture and society.
It was started to provide a medium in which coherent photographic narratives could be written and presented. The aim is to have more structure and accompanying text than is possible with photography sharing sites such as Flickr and 500px.
The blog name reflects the central contradiction in photography. A process in which only a single transient image is captured from a continuous1 stream of possibilities, and where the partial eye of the photographer dictates what elements are in the frame. In the internet age, everything is transient. We are lucky to be based in Barcelona, one of the most photographically accessible cities in the world, and a place which further embraces the nature of transience and change.
We are both immigrants to Spain, originally from Italy and the UK. This definitely colours our perspective in a world that is increasingly dominated by polarised and extreme modes of political and religious thought – such as that characterised by Trump and Brexit. Between us we have spent many years working in Asia, South America, the US and Europe and we have experience spanning archaeology, physics, social simulation, high technology and venture capital. This inevitably biases how we see the things around us. Perhaps settling in Barcelona was inevitable.
We want to focus on images and ideas rather than equipment or branding. Content, composition and style are what matter most. Many of the best photographs that we have taken were made with compact cameras and old film cameras rather than the latest technology. When we do talk about equipment we hope that we manage to do so both honestly and accurately. And unlike many sites we do not make money from sponsorship or from affiliate links that are connected to what is being discussed.
Lastly, this aims to be a blog for original content. We upload material because we hope that it might be of interest, because it helps us become better photographers and writers, and because we hope that it might help or inspire others to do far greater things than we have the ability or time to achieve ourselves.

A Healthy Financial Mindset
Core Facts
There is no such thing as "get rich quick" for most of us, unless you're one of those people who find a bottomless well of crude oil in their backyard or invent the next billion dollar app and become ridiculously wealthy in a short amount of time.
But the good news is that building wealth is entirely under your own control. All it takes is smart decisions and breaking bad habits.
There are remarkably wasteful ways Americans spend their money. Chief among them are: wasted energy bills, daily coffee purchases, premium cable packages, traffic tickets, lottery ticket purchases, unused gym memberships, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, ATM fees, expensive (unneeded) warranties, credit card interest, and so on.
Some habits that are worth getting rid of:
1. Using out-of-network ATMS
2. Buying overpriced coffee every day
3. Using retirement money for extra cash
4. Not tracking your spending
5. Only paying your credit card minimums
If you were to break those habits and combine that with a smart approach to actually building wealth, you'd be well on your way to seeing a paradigm shift in your financial life.
The term "wealth mentality" isn't about standing in the mirror and meditating or visualizing large bundles of cash, although there is something to be said for nurturing a positive outlook in general. But here are some practical ways to turn those imaginary bundles of cash into real ones:
- Savings
Whether you take 10% of any income, and put it straight into a savings account, or whether you have another method of saving, the point is that you are saving. Not everyone does this, and then they're surprised when they can't afford some unforeseen financial situation. Savings add up over time, and the more you contribute to your "wealth vault," the more your mentality will shift in that direction.
2. Conscientious spending
Buying things that you need, vs. things that you want. This will go a long way to creating a proactive attitude when it comes to money. Frivolous or extravagant spending gets people into debt, which has disastrous long-term effects. Living within your means and also within your needs is the way to go.
3. Reach for a realistic goal
If you want to wake up in the morning and be a millionaire just like that, well, you may as well wish for waking up with leprosy. You have about as much chance of being struck by lightning.
The point is that you should reach for a realistic goal. For example, "I want to become debt-free this year," or "I want to have $10,000 in a savings account by the end of this year."
Great. That gives us some practical and realistic goals that we can plan and strategize toward. If you take the smaller steps, the larger ones will take care of themselves in a way. Before you know it, you may have reached your goal of "being a millionaire."

ELM GROVE, TEXAS (Dallas County). Elm Grove was five miles northeast of Rowlett and four miles southeast of Sachse in northern Dallas County. It was in the original survey of J. Doen and F. T. Gaines and was settled in the late 1870s, when a local school and a church were named for their location in a grove of elms. In 1940 the community had two stores and a population of twenty-five. It received mail from Wylie. In the 1980s all that remained in the area was a church.

text: This is a really hard thread title to word, so I apologize. I need a GPS that I can tell specifically which roads to take. I am planning on leading a fun run with a bunch of other turbo Miata guys, but the rout is very complicated, with many surprise turns. It covers 80 some backroads, and as you can imagine I don't want to be looking at a map the whole time, especially with a manual. Can this be done with the google maps application somehow? Is there another program that would do this? Thanks.

Disclaimer: Keith is not mine. Really.
She doesn't care about the meaning of life in that one moment. All it is is just lying there, in the back of the truck, feeling as the tyres move forward slowly then speed up, echoing the rapid beating of her heart. It's in this moment that she could die. She could just let go, and never look back. But it's in that moment that she's never felt more alive. More free. And she can see him in that one instant. Just staring, and smiling, and so heartbreakingly beautiful that she almost lets herself go, riding into the abyss of the unknown.
It stuns her still. The exhiliration of the moving truck. The way the blood pumping through her veins, the adrenalin pushing itself forward in her body, indicates just how lucky she is (because she is), and it's with that thought in mind, that she doesn't. That she remembers, if she lets herself go, then what does that make her? She can't give away her life like that. Not when she knows how hard it is for people that have it taken away. Life has never meant more to her than in that one single minute.
Before it all comes to an end, it's her way of sharing what they had. Keith and Natalie. Appreciating what life was all about. She didn't realise it then, it scared her, but she didn't think about it's importance, and it's significance. The way that that ride would make her learn, and grow up in ways that she didn't think were even achievable.
She hears the wheels churning, and they churn his name. The wind blows the familiar scent of his soap in her face, and she can feel him all around her. Surrounding her, making her remember him in a way that she could never have otherwise. She listens to the soft padding of the leaves on the ground as they swirl, bringing thoughts of him to the surface of her mind. She has him here with her. She can feel him, and it almost feels real.
She lets herself remember him, because it doesn't hurt. She's come to terms with it now, and she understands that feeling him is all a matter of knowing that he's still there. Whether or not he's physically on earth or not, she doesn't care. She doesn't care if there's a God, or of there's something more to her existence, or time on earth. Maybe it might have been once upon a time. That life was what we lived, and what we lost, because there was something better. Some everlasting life somewhere in the universe. But she doesn't believe in that anymore. Not that there's no everlasting life, but that there has to be something more to the life she has now. Something vital that's anchoring her here, keeping her safe, saving her.
She likes to think that Keith's still there, here on earth, because she knows he is. Even if she can't see him. She can feel him. he's there, and maybe he's what helps her in the end. He's what pushes her on, helps her in figuring out that maybe the reason that she's still alive is because there's something bigger than the both of them. And that while people die, love doesn't.
So just when she's reaching the end, feeling the truck rolling faster, almost at the edge, she's back, and pulling herself to her feet. Pushing every piece of her mind, because she knows that this is what life is. Knowing that it's something to treasure, something not to be afraid of, but to live to its fullest.
She stops the truck, and leans onto the seat, resting, breathing slightly faster, heart thudding rhythmically.
She's safe.
And she smiles. Because life is exactly how it should be.
A/N: I saw this movie last year, and remember being in love with it. And then this came to me. Drabbly, I know, but I had to get it out of my system. It's not the greatest, but oh well.

Sadly, it turned out that the engine in my little 4CV was cracked. While looking for a new engine, the Hubs lucky enough to find a guy in Los Angeles who was getting rid of a rusted out 4CV - the WHOLE CAR for $200. Hubs chatted with the seller and he was willing to ship us the engine and whatever else we might want, but since Los Angeles isn't that far away, we hopped in my little Ford hatchback and drove down over Memorial Day weekend.
We drove down on Saturday and back on Sunday so it was pretty quick trip. We tried to cram in as much thrifting and sightseeing as possible, but there wasn't a lot of time. On our way down we stopped in Paso Robles for lunch and we were able hit one or two thrift/antique shops. Here is our haul.
The tropical print fabric is a duvet cover. There is enough fabric to make a dress with a big poofy skirt, but I am kind of leaning towards a narrow sarong skirt with a halter top. I'm not sure yet. The belt is either 40s or "80s does 40s." Either way, its spectacular. The ashtray has a Napco of Japan sticker on the bottom and is made of the most delicate ceramic. At $1 the red beads were irresistible. We had to buy the bar pourer, even though ($18!) it was the most expensive thing we purchased. We have several of these already, but none with the original box and we are suckers for anything with the original box. Liquor will NOT be flowing through this pourer, but it will look nice on our bar.
Picking up the parts was fun. Gene, the seller, was super nice and let us take everything we wanted. We filled the back of my Focus and made a list of things that Hub's brother (who lives in LA) would pick up later. You would not believe how much we were able to cram into my car. We picked that rusty 4CV's bones clean. Here is a photo of the Focus, in our hotel parking lot, packed to the gills with 4CV parts.
That night we had dinner with Hub's brother at the Formosa Cafe in Hollywood. Its a tiny art deco building surrounded by movie lots and the interior walls are covered with signed photos of actors. Its got a definite "old Hollywood" vibe. I wish I hadn't forgotten to grab my camera before dinner, because I'd love to show you how cute it is. You can see some pictures if you go to the restaurant's Yelp page. The Yelp reviews aren't great, but we had a really good dinner...and some very strong drinks.
After dinner we popped over to Silverlake to meet up with my friend Dave Deluxe who works at a bar called Thirsty Crow. There was a huge line of hipsters all the way down the block waiting to get in. Although Dave offered to "sneak us in" we demurred. Instead, we called it an early night and went back to the hotel for a good nights sleep.
The next morning, after a quick breakfast at Fred 62, we hopped on the freeway for home. We stopped for Lunch at Pea Soup Andersen's. You can read the history of Pea Soup Andersen's here.
If you've ever driven the 5 (or the 101) between Los Angeles and San Francisco, you will have seen billboards, like the one above, with Hap-Pea and Sweet-Pea: two chefs splitting a pea with a wedge and a sledgehammer. The soup is good and its really the only fun vintagey tourist trap kind of place on Interstate 5 south of Fogville. (Please tell me if you know of any others!) The Hubs was REALLY excited to be there.
He insisted that we buy something kitchy from the gift shop. Unfortunately, most of the gift shop stuff was pretty awful: typical truck stop junk like key chains with your name on them and generic coloring books for the kids. BUT! We were able to find a Hap-pea & Sweet-Pea bank. It now occupies a place of honor on our bookshelf.
A few hours later, we were back home in Fogville. I hope that we'll be able to go back to L.A. sometime soon for a real visit. Its an easy (if long) drive from Fogville and I'd like to spend some more time thrifting and sightseeing.
Oh, in case you are curious, this is everything that we were able to squeeze in to the Focus. Amazing!

I'm old enough to remember the day The Bananer was surreptitiously distributed around the Calvin College campus with its masthead designating it as the magazine of the "Christian Deformed Church." Banner editor John Vander Ploeg was furious, and Calvin President William Spoelhof of Calvin was embarrassed but perhaps also a little pleased with the resourcefulness of his students.
I bring this up for the 150th anniversary issue of The Banner because I think it marks more of a watershed moment than the much ballyhooed burning wooden shoes cover of the 1980s. For many years The Banner was the voice of the Christian Reformed Church. Readers of editors Henry Beets and H. J. Kuiper knew exactly what its values and commitments were and where the boundaries stood.
Now The Banner is less "the voice" of the CRC and more a reflection of its voices. The CRC is no longer your grandparents' denomination. Where once you could travel its length and breadth and find an identical order of worship, now you can experience everything from a praise band to a liturgy that resembles a Roman Catholic mass. Where once there was wide agreement on moral and social issues in the CRC, now there's a spectrum of views as broad as the whole gamut of Protestantism.
From young earth creationists devoted to a literal reading of Genesis to theistic evolutionists devoted to the validity of Scripture and science. From those who uphold traditional marriage to those who see same-sex marriage as an answer to the legitimate needs and desires of our gay and lesbian members. From Canadian to American, from Korean to African American, from Latino to largely Dutch ethnic congregations—that's who we are today. Where in the world does The Banner fit into this magnificent hodgepodge?
I would argue that it occupies an even more important role than ever. The diverse viewpoints and congregations that I describe here tend to occupy their own bubbles. We gravitate to groups of our own kind and pay attention to the media that reflect our own biases. We don't really hear, much less understand, the other voices of the CRC.
I participate in an email listserv called CRC Voices with a wide variety of CRC members. There I daily encounter a staggering diversity of opinions. Participants sometimes go on rants, but someone usually calls us back to our common identity in Christ and in the CRC. There is, in the end, a sometimes grudging but still genuine mutual respect and a commitment to listen attentively to one another.
Given our present diversity, for the CRC to work we need to have a place to listen to each other besides the floor of classis or synod. We need to listen not just with the prejudice of our own opinion but with a genuine effort to understand the standpoint of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
That's the critical place of The Banner today. It can no longer be the voice of the CRC, captured by one or another of its factions with each new editor. It must reflect our voices in a way that's fair, balanced, respectful, and committed to the unity of the CRC. But our readers have their own obligations. They must not assume that when a contrary opinion appears on these pages that it's The Banner's position. Rather, it's one of the many voices of our denomination that we all need to hear and critique with respect and generosity.
Good article, but a correction needed. It was President William Spoelhof not Anthony. The next pres. was Anthony Diekema.

Leonard : So true. I've often seen the CRC from the outside looking in. Even though I've been a member all my life I sometimes tell people I'm not that 'churchy' but I sure love God's Bride, the church. Expanding on your editorial ' One Holy Chathlic Church' some time ago, can we survive being divided? The answer I believe is, as a denomination, not. "For a house divided against its self will fall." We have too much chatter to listen for the voice of the Good Shepherd. I love the simple faith, no parades, no recognition from society, but an ear eager to listening to the voice of Jesus. Jesus says He is the Good Shepherd and His sheep know His voice. It's been my survival skill all my believing life. Jesus prays for all those the Father has given Him. He knows my name. For all those confused by the chatter I say, listen for His voice and believe, for Jesus said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."As for all the chatter, remember it's just chatter. The voice of Jesus is clear and decisive. Arie Nugteren

Of all the sectors within infrastructure, transport has received the highest sum in the 2017–18 budget — US$35 billion — much of it aimed at improving safety, cleanliness and comfort for rail passengers. Among the top priorities are a passenger safety fund, an end to unmanned level crossings on broad gauge lines, solar power for more than 7000 railway stations, bio-toilets in all coaches, and an extensive station development and refurbishment plan, including access for differently-abled people through elevators and escalators.

Scaling Opportunities in Off-Grid & Decentralized Rooftop Applications
We at enincon consulting llp under our consistent endeavour delve deep to unearth the absolute value preposition of a designate market with intermittent opportunities and barriers to evolve correct and absolute guide for effective business decisions related to the likes of solar rooftop in India. Our analysts have attempted to design different scenarios and asses the opportunities which solar rooftop brings in terms of savings and T&D losses, land costing's , storage loss levels and obviously lowered congestion in power transmission systems.
Gauging Support Matrix for Power Trading & Open Access Transactions with Regional Surplus/ Shortage Tracks
Since the current power transaction dynamics in the country is shaping up in favour of more open access transactions meaning a continued need for enabling power transmission infrastructure to felicitate what could be termed as " True Open Access " . In this milieu the role of not only the CTU and STU shall be important but also the participation on PPP basis by IPTCs shall be equally pivotal. Thus, there was an ardent need of a comprehensive analysis covering all the facets which offer opportunities in relation to the identified growth engine of current power sector in the country i.e. transmission segment.
Decommissioning Thermal Power Plants in India Evaluating New Industry Segment & Estimating USD 5 Billion Opportunity
the coal requirement in order to continue generation for such plants increases by huge quantum which means the cost of operations being on rise consistently and the return is limited. This means dismantling such power plants and utilizing the same land area for creating fresh capacities by utilizing super critical/ultra-super critical technology would make more sense in order to support less polluting thermal generation with better efficiencies. Facilitating decommissioning services requires in depth acumen which is quintessential to firstly dismantle the thermal power plants and secondly utilizing the defunct units scrap to obtain the salvage value. This in itself will open up a new industry segment in the country which demands better understanding of the opportunities involved and a yard stick to measure them on both , integrated basis as well as on bifurcated terms across for each state.
By 2020 enincon believes that thermal power is destined to roll back into generation mix of the country and in all possibilities fresh UMPPs which have hit a road block may witness announcements sooner than later. Hence, preparedness for OEMs shall be of pinnacle importance which will be discovered through an in-depth research in this dossier. Queries like what be the region wise business case for BoP players, opportunity in terms of replacing the old thermal units, futuristic market size for BoP package wise OEMs and many more apart from the mentioned will find answers in this collective and holistic market research.
With fresh order due to come only from CPSUs or the respective SEBs, the opportunity stands limited for the key value chain players. Following this scenario, modernizing the infrastructure, presence huge opportunity even if we consider 11 GW out of 40 GW of capacity. However, challenges are intermittent like land area availability and inclusive R&R implications , the capex in modernization , potential fuel supply security and obviously the power off take.

As far as India is concerned an evaluation of just gone by 11th plan depicts that it has been an inflection point in "Infrastructure Investments", with contributions of up to 9 percent from India's GDP. The 12th plan is also replicating a similar trend with an envisaged investment of approximately USD 1 trillion, which means contributions of up to 10 percent of India's GDP. The sectors which are expected to have massive investments include oil & gas sector, power sector, metals & mining sector and telecom sector. Thus, this mammoth and fast build out of industrial and plant infrastructure demonstrates the need of a robust and growing engineering, procurement and construction services industry for spreading and management of risks, efficiency and productivity in engineering and construction and supplementing the management bandwidth of project developers.

B&B Le Chiarine is a gem in Siena. Located in a quiet quarter of the city in a beautiful villa (with more beautiful villas around) it offers spacious rooms with en-suite facilites of top standard. Our room was so quiet that we could sleep with the window open which allowed us also to enjoy the "bird orchestra" in the morning.
The city center of Siena is within easy walking distance (ca 15 min leisurely stroll), most of it through a pedestrian zone. The position of the B&B is very advantageous if you go to Siena by car because there are free parking places in immediate vicinity. Finding the B&B is not a problem using a navsat. If you don not have one head for "stadio" and ask there. The B&B is very close.
Staff was friendly and helpful. They speak very well English. The price-quality ratio is excellent for a touristic hot spot like Siena. Difficult to imagine that there would be something better in Siena.

A visit from Howard Andrew Jones: How Cool Is That? Plus other news…
Imagine my surprise when I received a comment moderation notice and found that it was none other than Mr. Howard Andrew Jones, author of The Desert of Souls! I've been getting a lot of hits, but not a lot of comments, so the fact that an author commented was a huge surprise, and totally made my day! Mr. Jones also states that he has submitted a sequel, which is great news for fans of The Desert of Souls. You can find his site at www.howardandrewjones.com.
In other news, I received my replacement copy of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. The defective copy will be going back tomorrow.
Finally, I should have a review of Night of Knives up by tomorrow night. Then it's on to The Wise Man's Fear – all 1000 pages. The review of that monster of a novel may not be coming for some time, as it is probably about a 20+ hour read…
Book Review: The Desert of Souls by Howard Andrew Jones
Format: Hardback, First Edition, 2011
Pages: 305
Reading Time: about 6 hours
Told in first-person perspective through the eyes of Asim, who is the Captain of the Guard for Jaffar, son of the vizier, The Desert of Souls is a sword-and-sorcery adventure set in 8th century Baghdad.
Here are some other reviews for The Desert of Souls:
It was Robert Thompson's Review at Fantasy Book Critic that intrigued me and led me to purchase this book, and I'm glad I did. The Desert of Souls is an engaging, enjoyable read that made me regret putting the book down whenever I had to stop and attend to other things. Robert refers to suggestions that the story is a cross between 1001 Nights and Sherlock Holmes; references are also made to Robert E. Howard, Sinbad, Indiana Jones…I don't agree with all of these comparisons, but I would throw in Michael Moorcock's Elric books. This felt very much to me like Elric meets Arabian Nights; not so much the Elric character, but rather Moorcock's style and descriptions, albeit with a first-person narrative.
What I liked most about the book is the prose of Jones. Smooth and effortless, with a definite middle-eastern flair, I fell in love with Jones's style and his skill at weaving adventure, action, wit, religion, and realism into a cohesive story. It also doesn't hurt that a good first-person narrative is my favorite kind of story.
As I finished the book, I was struck by the changes that Asim goes through, some obvious and some more subtle (I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum here). Asim begins the story with an almost blind devotion to his master Jaffar and God. He has few friends, disdains and feuds with the house poet, and is concerned with etiquette and protocol. He sees few problems that can't be solved by either his sword or God's will. By the end of the story, Asim experiences true friendship, sacrifice, bravery, and trust in others; he violates protocols at the risk of his own life; and he even questions his own misconceptions and shortcomings. He is transformed by his adventure, and is an easy hero to root for.
His friend Dabir does not achieve the same amount of transformation, though he does go through some changes. Dabir is a scholar who does a lot of the thinking and planning. Other characters act realistically but perhaps aren't fleshed out as much as they could be. Firouz and Diomedes are good villains; Firouz is well-done, with an initial magnanimity towards the heroes, that gives way to annoyance and then hatred as Asim and Dabir attempt to thwart his plans. The most annoying character is probably Sabirah, Dabir's student and Jaffar's niece. Her actions, while they drive tension in the story, feel superfluous and unnecessary; the story could have been written without her and the reader wouldn't be missing much. I know that her actions are a reflection on her society's restrictive attitudes towards women. It is also true that she's the only female in the story with more than a bit part.
The settings are believable and have just enough detail to keep the story moving without bogging it down. I really came away with the impression that Jones has brilliantly captured 8th century Baghdad and that he is well-studied and knows his subject matter, whether it be the history of a city or the nuances of Islamic customs. One of the most fantastic scenes in the book occurs in the desert, with a trip to an alternate world. Here is where the book derives its title…The Desert of Souls refers to an area in this other world where souls are trapped by a powerful entity. I found that this alternate world was one of the better parts of the story.
Wit is abundant throughout the book, sometimes used to impart information or drive home a subtle barb, other times to provide humor. Speaking of humor, I did laugh out loud when Hamil the poet is launched over the head of a camel while trying to ride it.
Jones often takes the time to explain the actions or thinking of his characters, making sure to plug holes where there are questions. Unfortunately, this is less prevalent towards the end of the book, when some of Dabir's actions and knowledge are questionable and not explained. This, however is a minor quibble and the story doesn't suffer for it. The other minor quibble I had was with chapter length. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to stop. For instance, chapter 4 is only 11 pages, but chapter 5 is 36 pages. But again, this is a minor issue.
Howard Andrew Jones has hooked me with a terrific story of middle-eastern adventure, rife with magic, swordplay, and great prose. I hope he decides to write another installment in the same setting with some of the same characters…I for one would look forward to such a tale, and I'm happy to have added The Desert of Souls to my library.

Panel Requests More Data About Tobacco Lozenges
by Stephanie Gleason - The Wall Street Journal
A Food and Drug Administration panel Friday said it needs more information before making recommendations about the risks and potential marketing restrictions involving new flavored dissolvable tobacco lozenges.
Opponents of the lozenges say they look like candy and might be eaten by children, encourage nonsmokers to use tobacco, and are used by smokers in tandem with rather than instead of cigarettes.
The FDA advisory panel will make recommendations to the FDA after it meets again on tobacco lozenges in November. In March 2012 the FDA is expected to release a report on the safety, ...
Some see the product as an important alternative to cigarettes. Elaine Keller, representing the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association, said cigarette-smoking adults are able to switch to less hazardous alternatives when they can't stop using nicotine completely. Ms. Keller, in FDA testimony, said her group doesn't have ties to the tobacco industry.
If producers want to market their product as a "modified risk" to cigarettes, there is a separate application. Star Scientific has submitted two products for this consideration.
To make recommendations on these topics the panel asked for more information about the way another smokeless tobacco product, a powder in a pouch called snus, has been marketed. They also requested a better definition of dissolvable tobacco, and whether products like snus should be included.
