Sharon is breathing a sigh of relief since Typophile is back alive and running! :-)
Having withdrawal symptoms, Dez?
(Ah--one of my favourite movies! "Let's have a cigar, shall we?" "Hruuuuhhh!")
You could have photoshopped out my mustache, Chris!
Could be worse... Could be raining!
It is raining! And mustaches and monsters aside, it hasn't changed. How disappointing!
I was hoping a new server would bring new more interesting content. Doesn't it work that way?
Chris, you should have found a image that included also the blond lady. Cheers.
Do you say 'Froderick'?
Chris, that's much better. Who needs a monster after all? This is much more interesting :)
If typography teaches us nothing, it teaches us to accept our failures, as well as our successes, with quiet dignity and grace. ...
I was hoping to rely on Typophile to overcome my hospital boredom, but here it's back up just in time for my discharge. Pfeh!
When are they going to realize that Typophile is a *critical service* requiring 24/7 uptime? When?
Oh wait, that's Google. Never mind. :)
This appeared as the title in the browser window bar:
; )
...with the message to visitors below. I thought the emoticon said it all: "expect a big change when we're back up and running."
Then again, April Fool's Day is around the corner. If it's anything like last year's design, the "big change" is coming right up!
James, we're in talks now with our host about getting better content out of the package. They're not making promises.
Thomas, sorry we couldn't make your hospital stay more pleasant.
Hmm. I think that in this case the ;) in the title was because we used the same temporary page from last year's April fools joke :( Sorry to disappoint.
Hey, Christian. Not disappointed at all. Typophile hardly needs a redesign! Thanks.
ChrisL: Nothing major, just cut through my lower jaw at an oblique angle on both sides and slid the bone out about 4-5 mm (0.2"). Oh, and removed three wisdom teeth while they were at it. I look like a caricature of a guy with a big jaw. I have a really funny picture of the massive swelling on my iPhone....
Oh my gosh -- your iPhone is swollen, too?

- Why do they appear
- Development warts and types
- why they should be treated Treatment of warts
- Traditional ways of treating warts
Warts are benign viral on the skin.The reason for their appearance is the human papilloma virus (briefly - HPV).Outwardly, they look like a nodule or papilla.Warts appear most commonly in children.
Although they do not represent a great danger, they should be treated as warts can become inflamed, swell.In addition, they are contagious.
Why do they appear
contracted the virus very easily.This occurs in the presence of micro traumas on the skin:
- by direct contact with a carrier;
- when visiting public places without the necessary protective clothing (eg as a result of walking barefoot in saunas, baths, pools);
- through clothing, personal care products, household items.
incubation period can last from 2 to 6 months.Strong, healthy body can easily cope with the virus.Reproduction of the pathogen of the disease and the progression of the disease contr
- weakening the body's defenses;
- unbalanced diet;
- violation of the sleep and rest;
- vitamin deficiency;
- lack of fresh air;
- presence of micro traumas to the skin and microcracks;
- failure to comply with the rules of hygiene;
- excessive sweating of the palms and soles;
- hormonal disorders;
- bad environment;
- elevated levels of radiation.
favorable backdrop for the spread of the virus and the development of warts is a high temperature and high humidity.For this reason, the most dangerous in the degree of probability of infection are gyms, sports halls, swimming pools, saunas.
Development warts and types
After penetration abrasions, scratches, microcracks virus enters the bloodstream.Its DNA into the human genome starts the cell proliferation that leads to an increase in blood flow to the affected area.As a result of this process are provided with favorable conditions for rapid growth of the cells.To do this, sometimes it takes only 7 to 14 days, in some cases, the process can take several months.
Warts on hands are of two types:
- vulgar, or simple;
- flat.
Vulgar more often localized on the fingers, back of the hand, palms, do not lead to painful sensations, rarely appear on the face or mucous membranes.
Their pathogen is the most common type of virus Verruca vulgaris, are "responsible" for the appearance of the vast majority of skin tumors.
Common warts are dense rounded nodules with a diameter of 0.3 to 1 cm. Colour formation can vary from yellow-pink to light brown, in some cases, no different from the color.
Warts have a rough surface.Typically, multiple tumors occur as the virus spreads.One of them - the largest - is the parent wart, others are located in the surrounding areas and concede to it in size.
In some cases, the removal of warts parent leads to self-destruct others.
second title of flat warts - youth, because they occur most often in children and young people aged up to 30 years.They account for 4% of tumors.Flat warts affect the skin of the hands, fingers, face, mucous membranes.
Their diameter is 3 mm, the surface is smooth, smooth, rounded shape, the color - from corporal to yellowish.to the content ↑
Why do they need to be treated
Many tend to ignore the appearance of warts or trying to get rid of them yourself.
wart itself is not particularly at risk, but it is an indication of a malfunction of the immune system.
Warts can not be ignored, since:
- even the appearance of tumors increases the likelihood of spread to healthy skin;
- tear, injury warts can cause penetration of secondary infection, and encourage the spread of the virus;
- presence of warts, especially on the hands and fingers, is a source of infection to others, in particular - relatives, friends, colleagues;
- despite the widespread belief that the vulgar warts are not oncogenic, there is a risk of degeneration into malignant.
However, in the absence of an independent regression is recommended to remove them.
wart removal is mandatory in the following cases:
- if it changes color;
- if the wart bleeds or gets wet;
- if the surface is uneven;
- when a child neoplasms;
- under constant friction, pressure, and other mechanical damage;
- at risk of strain;
- while causing aesthetic and psychological discomfort.
Treatment of warts
Modern medicine offers many ways to remove warts.However, it should be noted that none of them is a 100% guarantee of getting rid of tumors because of its viral origin.
To reduce the likelihood of relapse treatment should be carried out in parallel steps to improve the body's defenses and strengthen the immune system.To do this:
- taking immunomodulating drugs;
- enrich the diet with minerals and vitamins;
- go on a healthy diet;
- give up bad habits;
- avoid nervous tension;
- improve stress tolerance;
- normalize rest and sleep;
- possibly more fresh air.
most popular ways to remove warts are:
- Electrocoagulation .The method consists of subjecting the high frequency current of the tumor, resulting in damaged and wart disappears.Simultaneously, the disinfection of the skin, the virus closes access to healthy tissues, thus preventing its spread.The advantage of this method is bloodless, but after the procedure is a minor scar.Electrocoagulation is suitable for treating small warts with a shallow root on the palms, fingers.
- laser method is considered the best in terms of cosmetic effect, because after the procedure does not remain scars.It is painless, sterile, fast (takes several minutes), with a short recovery period, but quite expensive.The specialist has the ability to control the intensity of exposure.Wart removal can be subjected to histological examination.
- Cryotherapy - moxibustion tumors with liquid nitrogen.The method is quite simple and painless, does not leave scars, but to date it has lost its relevance, since it does not make it possible to control the depth of cold exposure, resulting in saving there is a risk of infected tissue.In many cases, a repeat procedure.After cryotherapy for 24-48 hours can be maintained pain treated areas.Often there are bubbles: they need to be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate (approximately 7 days).
- Radiowave surgery .The method consists in the context of tissue tumors with high frequency wave.Directional impact energy causes evaporation of infected cells while the sides apart of the surrounding tissues.Operation completely painless, because radio waves do not affect the nerve endings.
- Surgical removal of warts - practiced in the most extreme case.
Traditional ways of treating warts
Traditional medicine offers a simple and effective ways to treat warts:
- few times a day to handle the affected skin potatoes, onion or apple juice.
- Grease wart extract onion.Preparation: cook the onion with husk and leave to infuse for a few hours.
- Grease wart juice of celandine.

Angela Hewitt (piano), Orchestra da Camera di Mantova, cond Hannu Lintu
Hyperion CDA67919, £12.99
On her previous disc of early Mozart piano concertos (CDA67840), Angela Hewitt directed the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova from the keyboard. Here in two later ones – the G major of 1784 and the B flat major of Mozart's final year, 1791 – she cedes the conducting to one of her regular collaborators, Hannu Lintu.
The sound is wonderfully clean and focused, with an ideal balance between Hewitt's customary Fazioli piano and the orchestra. The range of expression that the performances encompass can be appreciated in the theme and variations of the G major concerto's finale. Here Lintu starts the movement with light-footed grace, using minimal vibrato on the strings, Hewitt taking her cue with playing of elegance and buoyancy. With each variation, the nature of the playing changes, from jovially robust to effervescently fluid or quietly lyrical.
The attention to musical contrast and stylistic integrity is similar throughout. Hewitt's own illuminating notes in the booklet are a bonus, making this a Mozart release to cherish.

U.S. EPA plans to regulate methane from existing oil and gas operations under a U.S.-Canada climate agreement announced today.
Marking the start of a White House visit by Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau, the Obama administration also rolled out a partnership
to address climate impacts in the Arctic and vowed to accelerate efforts
to shape long-term greenhouse gas reduction strategies under the Paris
climate change agreement. The nations also pledged to expand renewable
energy and to align energy efficiency standards.
At a White House news conference, President Obama said major developed countries must take leadership roles on global warming....
The announcement on methane is controversial. The oil and gas
industry, which believes voluntary actions are sufficient to address its
emissions, pushed back against the agreement and warned that it would
halt the development of U.S. shale resources.
The American Petroleum Institute said the Obama administration was
"catering to environmental extremists" and didn't rule out legal action.
"We don't have a dollar figure, but we can only assume that the
economic impacts of regulating existing wells is going to be massive,"
said Kyle Isakower, API's vice president of regulatory and economic
Environmentalists and Democratic lawmakers -- both of whom have been
calling on the administration for months to tackle existing oil and gas
operations -- applauded the agreement as a big step forward for
addressing climate change.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

De Rode Draad
60 x 47 x 15 cm
Wood, metal, electric motor, mechanical parts, red thread.
This kinetic wall sculpture consists of twelve white gears that drive each other. As they all have the same amount of teeth, they rotate at the same speed.
Small rods are attached to the edges of the gears and help form a symmetrical figure constructed from a thin red thread. When the sculpture is in motion the thread exposes the compositional changes of the gears. Gradually the figure formed by the thread moves and transforms fluently in accordance with the turning of the gears.

The Skin DetoxMonday, January 05, 2015
Hey Beauties!
I don't know about you but in my family the holidays are packed full of dinners, brunches and plenty of chocolate. While these things are so incredibly delicious they can tend to wreak a bit of havoc on my skin so a detox is essential to bring my skin back to a happy place for the beginning of the new year.
Once all of the dinners, get togethers and sweet treats are done and over with I like to spend at least three straight nights sorting out my unhappy skin. I like to use a deep pore cleansing mask like the Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment to really get deep down and seriously clean all of the oil and gunk in those pores. I've found that using a mask like this will actually bring some of those blemishes to the surface causing an even worse breakout but if I go back the next evening and use it again it leaves my skin perfectly clean and fresh.
Each night I use an intense moisturizer or a facial oil like the Tarte Maracuja Oil to sooth and nourish my skin and on the third night I like to use a repairing mask to really make sure my skin has recovered from the deep cleaning.
So that is my 3 day detox routine that always help to rescue my skin after a marathon of yummy treats! Do you like to have a detox after the holidays?

I'm definitely making more effort with my skincare at the moment :) Really need to try that origins mask!ReplyDelete

I love that origins mask!ReplyDeleteReplies
Me too! Im on my second tube! xDelete
Great lineup! I had a serious skin detox on New Year's Day- my Aesop scrub, Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask, and a hydrating sheet mask from My Beauty Diary. My skin thanked me for it :)ReplyDelete
Ooh that sounds like such a luxe detox! I am dying to try the Omorovicza mask!Delete

OMG! Surprise second blog post this evening thanks ever so much to one of my new favourite photographers, the lovely Laura Murray from Colorado.
Earlier this year, thanks to a recommendation from the fabulous Elizabeth of Bridal Musings, Laura got in touch with me as she was coming through London en route to shooting an incredible engagement shoot and wedding in France (dahhhhling). She wanted to do a couples shoot in London and, given that she is a super photographer, I couldn't say no when she suggested Jack and I get involved. She wanted something English and fun so we headed down to Westminster Abbey for a few shots with Big Ben. I also couldn't resist donning my pom from Atelier Millinery. It's my fav.
To say that Laura is my new best friend might be a bit of an exaggeration but only just. She is TOTES AMAZE. Upon meeting her on Kensington Church street, I really do feel like it was wedding blog love at first sight.
Aside from her gorgeous photos, which you can see a few of below, more of which she has blogged on her site here, she has the coolest, most fun personality in the universe.
Now, Jack and I are a bit shy, slightly awkward and not the most coordinated when it comes to posing for pictures, but Laura put us totally at ease and made us super comfortable with her friendly, bubbly personality and easy to follow direction.
Her husband, Brian, assisted on the afternoon and was equally awesome.
Anyway, this is a bit of a self indulgent post, but I'm sure you'll forgive me 😉 Thanks so much to my new and fabulous friend Laura Murray for these and head on over to her blog for more details.

Xergy inc. is an award winning, five-year-old, high technology company; that is a global leader in integrating 'proton' exchange membranes into exciting, new and transformational products.
Recently, Xergy Inc. announced the introduction of the most reliable, compact, in-situ ozone production system based on its proton exchange membrane technology. This product is designed for simple integration into many common industrial and household applications for disinfection, sanitation, bleaching and laundry applications; and comes with dedicated engineering and service support.
Ozonation is a common industrial process. There are many applications where ozone gas is added to pure water,to provide drinking water or process water to clean meats and equipment during food processing. Ozone generators are much more compact, reliable, and energy efficient than other sanitation/bleaching systems, without handling chemicals.
Currently, these sanitation processes also include chlorination, UV light, and ozone treatment are the main methods employed. Of these methods, ozone treatment is the most promising, providing superior disinfection capabilities coupled with the eco-friendly nature of dissolved ozone.
When chlorine gas is reacted with water, hypochlorite ions are formed. Hypochlorite ions are generally termed as free chlorine and are effective in undergoing reactions with various chemical impurities and lysing cells. If ammonia is added as well as chlorine gas, monochloramine is formed. However, monochloramine is a much weaker disinfectant than free chlorine, and as such it is typically employed as a secondary disinfecting agent. A third chlorine based agent is chlorine dioxide. It has similar disinfecting properties to free chlorine, but the mechanism of disinfection is different.
There are many methods for ozone generation including electrolysis, corona discharge, and UV light. It can either be generated in air, or evolved directly in water. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent, and also effectively lyses cell walls to destroy microorganisms.
UV lamps emitting wavelength of 254nm are typically used to sterilize waters. The light inactivates vital functions of microorganisms, effectively killing them.
A key metric for determining the effectiveness of a disinfecting agent is the CT value associated with specific pathogens. The CT value is a product of the required contact time and concentration to achieve inactivation of various microorganisms, and typically has units of mg-min/L. Lower CT values require lower concentrations of a given chemical and less contact time, and are indicative of stronger disinfecting agents. Ozone and free chlorine treatment exhibit similar strengths for inactivating viruses such as E. coli, but ozone is far superior to chlorine for fighting bacteria such as Giardia lamblia.Chlorine treatments have displayed minimal effectiveness in disinfecting Cryptosporidium, whereas Ozone has a relatively low CT value of about 12.
Oxidation potential is another metric used to assess the strength of various disinfectants. Larger values correlate to improved ability to oxidize and kill microorganisms, and remove chemical impurities from water. Ozone has an oxidation potential of 2.08V, greater than that of chlorine disinfectants and hydrogen peroxide.
When using chemicals to disinfect a water source, it is essential to understand potential disinfection by-products that may be produced. Chlorination leads to the formation of trihalomethanes, such as chloroform, which are carcinogenic. The formation of trihalomethanes comes from the reaction of chlorine with organic matter present in the water that is being treated. Utilizing ozone instead of chlorine removes the formation of trihalomethanes, but still brings about undesirable by-products. Ozone has the potential to oxidize bromide ions, forming bromate ions, which are carcinogens. Production of bromate can be reduced by pretreating the water with a method to reduce any ions present before disinfecting with ozone.
After the water has been treated, the water will contain residual amounts of the disinfectants. This residual ensures that there is no further growth of microorganisms. A residual of 5 mg/L is the suggested amount of free chlorine to ensuredrinking water quality3, whereas maintaining an ozoneresidual as low as 0.01 mg/L has been shown to prevent further microbial growth4. In the case of chlorination, excess chlorine can lead to stomach discomfort, irritation if in contact with skin, and adds a distinctive taste and smell to the water. Ozone, however, has such a short half-life, approximately 30 min at ambient temperatures5, that it will not be in significant concentrations when the water is ready to be used. In the case where it is necessary to have no residual ozone, such as drinking water, a UV lamp can be implemented at very low costs to catalyze the decomposition of the ozone. When ozone decomposes it breaks down to form oxygen, and increased oxygen levels can be beneficial in certain applications.
There are several methods employed to generate ozone including corona discharge, UV light, and electrochemical cells. Because ozone has such a short half-life, it must be generated on site at the required point of use. Corona discharge and UV light require air/oxygen to generate ozone, whereas electrochemical cells can utilize water.
The most widely used method for commercially generating ozone is corona discharge. Power is supplied to a dielectric material, which surrounds an air gap. The dielectric material generates a corona, or electric field, which splits oxygen into atomic oxygen. Atomic oxygen is highly reactive, and will combine with molecular oxygen to form ozone. Corona discharge produces higher levels of gaseous ozone than UV treatment. However, humidity has a negative impact on corona discharge as it is based on electric currents. Dry air is required, or there will be a significant reduction in the overall ozone production. An oxygen feed can be used instead of dry air, but this adds additional costs associated with installing and operating an oxygen concentrator. The oxygen feed improves ozone production per unit volume, and also eliminates the evolution of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid. The high levels of energy utilized by this process generate large amounts of heat, which must be dissipated from the system to ensure efficiency. If the desired application is water treatment, then a contactor must be added to dissolve the ozone in water. This further increases installation and operating costs of the corona discharge method.
UV generation of ozone consists of a UV lamp, typically operating at 185nm, and an air feed. UV generation allows for more stable production, as humidity is not an issue, and eliminates the formation of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid. However, production rates are much lower than corona discharge.
There are several methods employed to generate ozone including corona discharge, UV light, and electrochemical cells. Because ozone has such a short half-life, it must be generated on site at the required point of use. Corona discharge and UV light require air/oxygen to generate ozone, whereas electrochemical cells can utilize water.
The PEM allows migration of protons to the cathode side of the cell, which recombine to form hydrogen. Ozone production through electrolysis is typically lower than corona discharge, however ozone is produced in-situ. This eliminates the need for an oxygen concentrator and a liquid contactor, reducing space requirements, installation costs, and power requirements.
The main advantages of producing ozone with an electrolytic system are:
- There is no ionic contamination because the feedwater is being dissociated using a solid hydrated ion exchange membrane.
- The process water being disinfected is the source of oxygen for the generation ofozone
- consequently, no outside contamination is introduced into the system being treated
- The ozone is dissolved in the process water as soon as it is formed i.e. in situ, or at point of use
- This results in ozonation with the minimum amount of equipment i.e. compact systems
- By operating the cell under pressure, relatively high ozone concentrations can beproduced
Designed specifically for challenging environments such as food and beverage and biopharmaceutical industries, this cost-effective, high-quality ozone generator has been successfully integrated into a variety of industrial and appliance applications. XIZONE systems are compact, easy-to-use wall-mounted units.
Typical installations involve engineering systems with customized, mass flow controllers, Stainless Steel Filter Housings, Fittings, gas analysis instrumentation, process monitors, and software integration into the process environment needed.
Most modem pure water networks, are constructed as closed loop systems in which the water ispumped through one or more circulation loops to different consumer points. Depending on the application of the process water, there will be differing amounts and types of equipment installed in the system. For all applications it was found best to install the ozone generation system in the loop return just before it re-enters the storage tank. The by-pass flow for the electrolytic system is tappedoff before the loop's pressure retaining valve and reintroduced on the low pressure side.
The main downside to using an electrochemical cell is the need to use relatively pure water, as ions and metallic contaminants can negatively impact the performance of the PEM. Metallic contaminants can however, be addressed with a variety of pretreatment options. Another consideration is the presence of Bromate ions in water. But these too can be remediated by pretreatment. Quite simply, installing a XIZONE system, is not a plug and play option; but requires intelligent application and analysis. XIZONE application engineers are available to support every installation, and to provide ongoing support services so the that systems operate as needed, when needed.
In addition, wherever ozone is used, safety measureshave to be taken in order to protect personnel and equipment from unintendedozone exposure. One important safety measure is the destruction of excess ozonegas that is not used in a process. The ozone gas destruct units are designed to safelyconvert high levels of ozone into benignoxygen, reducing the ozone level down to detection limit, well below safety thresholds. Again, XIZONE application engineers are available to assist in safe installation and operation.
Below are some schematics of our units integrated into appliances, these are for illustration only, however any one skilled the art can provide other examples readily.
Xergy's Xizone system is designed for high performance and durability. We have engineered reliability into our systems by identifying operating risks and mitigating those risks with proprietary and patented elements.
For example, one disadvantage of electrochemical ozone generation is the susceptibility of the membrane to contaminants in water streams. To mitigate this risk, Xergy has developed a unique feature by feeding ozonated water upstream of the generation system. i.e. ahead of the generator's water intake. This is done so that Ozone can react with contaminants such as iron ahead of the generator – and precipitate a solid product that can be filtered – prior to water entry to the ozone generator system. Thus the core (high value) electrochemical components (the membrane and catalytic electrodes) are protected, with particulate filters from dissolved contaminants in the water.
Xergy's Xizone system has parallel operating cells functioning at all times. This means that should there ever be a failure in one cell there are other cells that can (and do) provide the ozonation service needed. The probability of all cells failing at one time is virtually zero. And this is a unique patented feature of our electrochemical systems.
In addition, we understand that disinfection systems need to be up and running at all times. In order to provide operational assurance, Xergy has implemented downstream sensing technology to measure ozone content. Sensor data is continuously monitored, recorded and transmitted to Xergy's operations center. Our systems have embedded electronics and data recording to support this task; and this is a unique (patented) feature of our systems. In addition, service technicians are on 24 hour notice to visit plants if low levels are detected.
Xergy's systems are designed for 100% availability, and easy (quick) servicing to ensure there is minimal interruption to operations.

First Born of Egypt
Simon Raven
This is the third volume in Simon Ravens First Born of Egypt saga. The story opens with Lord Canteloupes strange toast to absent friends. His wife Baby has recently died and Canteloupe has been left her retarded son, Lord Sarum of Old Sarum. This child is not his, but has been conceived by Major Fielding Gray. In Italy, there is an illegitimate child with a legitimate claim to the estate, whom Canteloupe wants silenced. The plot also sees young Marius Stern and his school friend, Tessa Malcolm, drawn into Milo Hedleys schemes and into a dramatic finale orchestrated by Raisley Conyngham, Milos teacher.
Author biography:Simon Raven was am outrageous figure in society, but also an acclaimed novelist and writer, including several successful TV scripts.
He was born in London in 1927 into a predominately middle class household, although he considered it joyless. At Prep School he was very agreeably seduced by the games master, before going on to Charterhouse from where he was expelled for serial homosexuality. After national service in the army he secured a place at Kings College Cambridge, where he read Classics. His love of Classics dated from an early age, and he usually read the original texts, often translating from Latin to Greek to English, or any combination thereof.
At Cambridge, in his own words, 'nobody minded what you did in bed, or what you said about God'. This was civilised to his mind and he was also later to write: 'we aren't here for long, and when we do go, that's that. Finish. So, for God's sake, enjoy yourself now - and sod anyone who tries to stop you.' Revelling in Cambridge life, Raven fell heavily into debt and also faced his first real responsibility. Susan Kilner, a fellow undergraduate, was expecting his child and in 1951 they married. He showed little interest in the marriage, however, and divorced some six years later.
He also failed to submit a thesis needed to support an offered fellowship, so fled to the army, where he was commissioned into the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry. After service in Germany and Kenya, during which time he set up a brothel for his men to use, he was posted to regimental headquarters. However, debt once again forced a change after he lost considerable sums at the local racetrack.
Resigning his commission to avoid a court-martial, he turned to writing, having won over a publisher who agreed to pay in cash and also fund sustenance and drink. Moving to Kent, he embarked upon a prodigious array of works which included novels, essays, reviews; film scripts, radio and television plays and the scripts for television series, notably The Pallisers and Edward and Mrs Simpson. He lived in modest surroundings and confined his excesses to London visits where his earnings were dissipated on food, drink and gambling and sex. He once wrote that the major advantage of the Reform Club in London was the presence opposite of a first class massage parlour.
In all, Simon Raven produced over twenty five novels and hundreds of other pieces, his finest achievements being a ten volume saga of English upper-class life, entitled Alms for Oblivion, and the First Born of Egypt Series.
He was a conundrum; sophisticated and reckless; talented yet modest; generous towards friends, yet uncaring of creditors when in debt. Jovial, loyal and good company, but unable to sustain a family life, he would drink profusely in the evenings, but resume work promptly the following morning. He was sexually indiscriminate, but generally preferred the company of men. As a youth he possessed good looks, but abuse of his body in adulthood saw that wain.
Simon Raven died in 2001, his legacy being his writing which during his lifetime received high praise from critics and readers alike.

In April, about halfway through the month, the thunderstorms of March are beginning to subside, and the wind picks up. Seeds are being blown about on the breezes, spreading life all around from one place to the next. In fact, this lunar cycle is often known as the Seed Moon. Trees have buds on them, spring daffodils and tulips abound, and the birds are nesting once more. Much like March, this is a time of conception and fertility and new growth.

Correspondences

Colors: Bright primary colors -- red, yellow, blue -- and their combinations
Gemstones: Quartz, selenite, angelite
Trees: Hazel, forsythia, lilac, willow
Gods: Ishtar, Tawaret, Venus, Herne, Cernunnos
Herbs: Dandelion, milkweed, dogwood, fennel, dill
Element: Air

Magic for the Season

This is a good time to work on magic related to new beginnings. Looking to bring new love into your life, or conceive or adopt a child? This is the time to do those workings. It's the time to stop planning, and start doing. Take all those ideas you've had brewing for the past couple of months, and make them come to fruition.

April does tend to be a wet, soggy month in many areas, so now is a good time to gather up rainwater for use in magic and spellwork. Leave a few glass jars outside in the open so you can collect water for different magical purposes. For instance, rain that accumulates during a soft, light drizzle can be used in rituals for calming and meditation. On the other hand, the water that fills your jar in the middle of a late-night, thunder-and-lightning deluge is going to have a lot of energy in it - use this for workings related to power, control, and assertiveness.

Don't forget, this month's full moon is also called the Seed Moon. Do some planting magic, plan out your garden, and get your seedlings started. In the weeks leading up to Beltane, do this planting ritual to get new things growing in your garden and in your life as a whole. The very act of planting, of beginning new life from seed, is a ritual and a magical act in itself. To cultivate something in the black soil, see it sprout and then bloom, is to watch a magical working unfold before our very eyes. The plant cycle is intrinsically tied to so many earth-based belief systems that it should come as no surprise that the garden is a magical place in the spring.

The Magic of Wind

Because April's moon is associated with the winds - for obvious reasons - now is a good time to explore the winds that blow from each of the cardinal directions. For instance, the North Wind is associated with cold, destruction, and change - and not always the good kind of change. If you've got some bad stuff looming on the horizon, now's the time to work through it. Do this not just by changing yourself, but also the way you respond to other people and to events that are taking place in your life.

The South Wind, in contrast, is connected to warmth and the element of fire, which in turn is associated with passion and power. Fire is a destroyer, but it also creates, so if there is a passion that you've lost in your life - whether it's romantic or something else - work on doing what you need to do to rebuild it.

The winds of the East are often associated with new beginnings; in particular, focus on new careers, education, or other aspects of your life that are related to communication and your intellect. Finally, the West Wind is tied to the cleansing and healing powers of water, so if you need to get rid of things that are causing you heartache or pain, let the wind blow them right out of your life.

Now it can be told
A few months ago I promised a sneak peak of a comic I was working on before finding out sneak peaks were not allowed. Well, the comic's out so I guess I can talk about it. The story is called 'Etc' and it's in Boom Studio's Zombie Tales no. 7. The script was written by Shane Oakley and I was happy to find Shane's scripts have the same dark over the top humour as his awesome artwork.
I made a bit of a mistake and missed something from the script, so I've added it in for this post, sorry Shane, hope this makes up for it a bit.

Film04 August 2009
Let's Go to the Clip: The Comic-Con '09 Film Recap, Part 2
Part 2: My Thursday at Comic-Con ended with a movie screening, while Friday began with an epic, two-and-a-half hour Warner Bros. panel. The final movie presentation I saw during the convention was Saturday's Iron Man 2 panel, which was a great way to finish the film section of the Con. In between there was animation legend Hayao Miyazaki and director Peter Jackson's first-ever Comic-Con appearance.
Trick r Treat
I remember seeing trailers for this movie several times at Comic-Con 2007, but since then, nothing. Warner Bros. apparently had no idea what to do with this film, so instead of releasing it, they have opted to screen it at film festivals for a couple of months before shoveling it off to DVD in October. Comic-Con was treated to a full screening, though, and I'm happy to report that Michael Dougherty's horror anthology film is quite a lot of fun. Taking place on Halloween night in a small Ohio town, the movie presents four separate-but-intertwining stories, each quite different. Familiar character actors abound, including Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, Tahmoh Penikett, and an excellent Brian Cox. Dougherty doesn't skimp on the gore, but the film focuses equally on scares, making Trick r Treat a nice throwback to the anthology films of the 80's (Creepshow, Cat's Eye). It's tough to figure out why Warner Bros. couldn't market this- it's a Halloween-themed horror movie with an iconic character, the sack-headed evil kid named Sam, that shows up throughout the film. Despite being an anthology, the movie should pretty much sells itself even though it isn't a remake of a classic franchise.
Where the Wild Things Are
I haven't read Where the Wild Things Are in decades and barely remember it, yet the extended scenes shown from Spike Jonze's film inspired waves of nostalgia in me. The movie looks spectacular, and the decision to go with actual monster costumes instead of using CG appears to be a brilliant one. The interaction between the wild things and Max feels very real and visceral. Hopefully the full movie will turn out as beautiful as the footage shown at this panel.
The Book of Eli
Denzel Washington stars as a loner wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape, kicking much ass and trying like hell to hold onto the titular book. Gary Oldman is the bad guy who wants to acquire the book. But here in the world of Comic-Con, the trailer brought bigger cheers for Oldman than for Denzel. Directors Albert and Allen Hughes haven't directed a movie since From Hell in 2001, so they have something to prove with this one. The most interesting tidbit to come out of this panel, though, was Gary Oldman's admission that he expects Christopher Nolan's third Batman film to begin production in 2010 for a 2011 release.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
This panel was sort of a mess. The clips shown from the upcoming reboot were heavy on a scene featuring a living Freddy (Jackie Earle Haley) being chased and ultimately incinerated by the group of angry parents from the franchise's origin story. Yet during the panel, the filmmakers stated that their movie was not meant to be an origin story at all. To top it off, they claimed that they have Robert Englund's full blessing to reboot the franchise, despite Englund being on the record as very, very unhappy that he has been replaced as Freddy.
The Box
Director Richard Kelly has long been one of the worst guests I've ever seen at Comic-Con. Stammering and desperately shy in two previous appearances (for Donnie Darko and Southland Tales) Kelly was barely been able to put a complete sentence together in front of a crowd. Surprisingly, he was much more comfortable this time around, discussing his upcoming thriller The Box. Based on a Richard Matheson short story, the premise involves a mysterious man (Frank Langella), showing up seemingly at random at the house of Norma Lewis (Cameron Diaz) in 1976. He offers her one million dollars if she will just push a big red button on top of a mysterious box, thereby killing a total stranger somewhere in the world that she has never met. The trailer showed that there is a lot more going on in the movie beyond the box itself, with mysterious sci-fi elements popping up. But during the panel discussion, Diaz blurted out what seems to be a gigantic spoiler about the box's origins, pretty much ruining the mystery for everyone in attendance. Nice going, Ms. Diaz.
Jonah Hex
This adaptation of one of DC comics' lesser-known characters looks like it's going to be a slightly off-kilter action-fest for the summer of 2010. Jonah Hex is a cowboy anti-hero, and the footage cut together for Comic-Con was heavy on gunplay and dynamite-based train explosions. Josh Brolin certainly has the look down as Hex and Megan Fox seems to be her usual eye-candy self, except that she gets to handle guns this time out. The footage did feature something I've never before seen in an action movie, though: an explosive sequence involving Civil War-era ironclad ships. The real highlight of this panel, though, may have been the film-school jerk who asked Megan Fox to make a celebrity sex tape with him and was subsequently escorted out of the room by security.
Sherlock Holmes
We were treated to an extended trailer of Guy Ritchie's action film, as well as a scene that featured Holmes in a bare-knuckle fight, analyzing what his opponent is about to do in his head and planning in advance how to counter it. But the real highlight was Robert Downey, Jr., appearing in person to soak up the adulation from the Comic-Con crowd and being very funny and personable, to boot. When asked about learning martial arts for the movie, Downey replied that he was so good, "I could windmill through all of you here right now."
The Pixar Panel
Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios head John Lasseter held court over a 90-minute Disney Animation panel that showed remarkably little of Pixar proper's upcoming releases. They showed the opening sequence of Toy Story 2 in 3-D and talked about the upcoming double-feature 3-D re-release of the first two movies on October 2. I wasn't particularly impressed by the 3-D effects, in fact, the only really impressive 3-D of the weekend was in James Cameron's Avatar. They had nothing to show for Toy Story 3 yet, except to say the plot involved Andy getting ready to leave home for college and that the premise is about what happens to the toys when their owner truly grows up.
The Princess and the Frog
The footage shown from Disney's upcoming return to hand-drawn animation was very nice. Lasseter discussed how he managed to talk many of the animators and staff from the '90s Disney hits back to the studio for this movie, which was pretty obvious from the look and tone of the film. It's nice to see a lushly hand-drawn Disney movie again, but the result of all these returning animators, directors, and writers is that it doesn't feel particularly fresh or new. So far The Princess and the Frog seems to be selling nostalgia for the early '90s and, just as importantly, the addition of an African-American character to the company's mega-lucrative Disney Princess line of products. Speaking of Disney in the '90s, Lasseter also revealed that they are re-releasing Beauty and the Beast around Valentine's Day, 2010, in 3-D. They showed the opening scene of the film in 3-D, and it was sort of like looking at a filmed pop-up book, with the animation dividing into several layers. Surreal and kind of cool, but not really convincing as three-dimensional.
Of all the geek-out moments I experienced during Comic-Con 2009, this was the biggest. Disney managed to get legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki to leave Japan and attend Comic-Con to promote the North American release of his latest movie, Ponyo, on August 14. For an animation nut like myself, seeing Miyazaki in person was a big, big deal. He was soft-spoken and funny during the Q&A. My favorite moment went like this: Audience questioner- "Where do you get your amazing ideas from?" Miyazaki- "I wish I could remember." Lasseter revealed that Disney is actually getting behind Miyazaki's film this time around, putting Ponyo into 800 theaters. Really, that still isn't great, but it's a lot better than the 200 theaters Howl's Moving Castle got or the few dozen Spirited Away had in its initial release.
Shane Acker's post-apocalyptic CG adventure movie looks like it's going to be unique and exciting. They showed a couple of extended action sequences and the animation is fluid and excellent. Producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov were on hand to help introduce Acker to the crowd. Burton explained that he wanted to produce the film so that he could deal with all the studio interference while just letting Acker focus on making his movie. Bekmambetov mostly sat silently, except for when he was asked about continuing his trilogy that began with Night Watch and Day Watch. His response, "I don't think that's going to happen." I guess having a big American hit (Wanted) means you don't have to slink back to Russia and return to the franchise that put you on the map in the first place.
District 9
My God, Peter Jackson is so skinny now that he almost looks like a completely different person from when he directed The Lord of the Rings. He gave the Hall H crowd an update on where they were on The Hobbit: about three or four weeks from completing their first draft, after which they'll turn it in to Warner Bros. for official approval. They expect to start thinking about casting by October or so. Jackson and director Neill Blomkamp talked about how they met, a little bit about their Halo movie adaptation falling through (but without any inside details), and their decision to expand Blomkamp's short Alive in Joburg into a full-length movie. They showed a seven-minute series of scenes from District 9, which revealed some of the plot instead of just the basic premise that the trailers set up. Blomkamp also talked about a plot point that doesn't really make it into the movie, that the aliens mostly operate on a hive system and that their queen has been killed. Without her they are sort of directionless and lack the initiative to get their ship fixed and leave Earth.
Solomon Kane
James Purefoy stars as the titular character, the Puritan swordsman from Conan author Robert E. Howard. Knowing that most of the audience was probably not aware of the character, the filmmakers cannily brought lots and lots of clips to introduce their film. It looks like a pretty hard-R action fest, with brutal violence and excellently choreographed fight scenes. Whether it will hang together as a full movie remains to be seen, but hopefully the positive reaction at Comic-Con will at least help them secure North American distribution.
Mike Judge returns to the workplace, albeit a factory setting, for the first time in a decade with this, a movie he called the "spiritual sibling to Office Space." The clips shown were mildly amusing, but you get the sense that you have to see the full movie in context for Judge's low-key humor to work. Also, Miramax apparently actively cut out some punchlines in the scenes they showed, which seems like a bizarre thing to do when you are promoting a comedy.
Director Ruben Fleischer admitted straight-up that he loves Shaun of the Dead and that he hopes Zombieland can live up to a movie that good and still bring something different to the table. The scenes they brought to the show, however, were a mixed bag. A funny fight sequence between Jesse Eisenberg and the (zombie) girl next door and a tense situation where Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson are double-crossed by a pair of young sisters were both positives. On the downside, however, is that the movie appears to have a pervasive voiceover from Eisenberg's character which is supposed to be sardonic and funny but turned out to be pretty annoying, even in the brief scenes they showed.
Moderator: "Roland (Emmerich), why do you hate the Earth?" Emmerich: "I don't hate the Earth, I love the Earth, that's why I always want to blow it up!" Maybe his answer was funnier in the original German that was running through the director's head. And yet, I still want to see Emmerich's latest disaster movie. An extended trailer showed the Sistine Chapel cracking, complete with crack running right between the fingers of God and Adam in Michelangelo's painting, then falling and crushing hundreds of people in St. Peter's Square. They also showed us John Cusack's desperate attempt to save his family and outrun the earthquake that is sinking California into the Pacific Ocean. In a limousine. Which he does successfully by getting them all to a small plane that's already waiting for them on a runway. It's all completely ridiculous and yet also awesome and way more fun-looking than the year's other over-the-top actionfest, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Iron Man 2
Spectacular. Unlike the first movie, Iron Man 2 isn't coming out of nowhere, but it still looks amazing. Director Jon Favreau and his special effects people worked very hard in the week between wrapping principal photography on the movie and doing their Comic-Con panel. The five or six minutes they showed us actually had some good-looking flying effects and Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) using his energy whips. The real kick, though, was watching Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark doing his thing again. The footage opened with Stark testifying before a Senate subcommittee, being grilled by a Senator played by Garry Shandling. Other scenes included another encounter between Stark and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and a sequence with James Rhodes (now played by Don Cheadle) and rival arms manufacturer Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), debating about what sort of Hammer hardware to put inside the War Machine suit. And the clip ends with a shot of War Machine in action, shooting everything in sight. Favreau and Downey, Jr. were great in front of the crowd, too. An audience member asked them about working with Mickey Rourke, and Downey replied, "I thought I was eccentric!" Favreau chimed in, "We told Mickey his character had spent time in a Russian prison, and the next thing we knew, Mickey was in Russia in a prison, talking to inmates and doing research."

Hey everyone,
Just thinking of some ways to help promote sign ups for certain things. Especially leads and items who pay more than an intial deposit (webhosting, etc.)
Anyone have any ideas on good items that could be promoted with along with these items and do many companies mind that I am doing this?

you'll need to change your status to an incentive site if you do that.. but most stores are going to be okay with that.
People like money, ps3 or ipods. But you could do GC's or something else too.

The UK theatrical release of the micro-budget British feature 'Common People' was set to be a special one-off screening at The Clapham Picturehouse on January 19th 2014. However, the film proved to be such a hit with audiences that it went on to play for nine weeks to packed houses, screening alongside Oscar contenders and Hollywood blockbusters.
Picturehouse then took the unprecedented step of selecting the film to be released nationwide in 17 Picturehouse cinemas on June 10th 2014 as part of their prestigious, 'Discover Tuesdays' programme. It's the first entirely self-distributed independent film to ever be included in the programme.
Book tickets at http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/film/common_people
COMMON PEOPLE will also be released on VOD and DVD on June 12th.
When Princess Parroty escapes the confines of her cage she finds herself flying with parakeets in the south London skies and soaring into the lives of the Common People. Here begins a unique and enchanting story which will see the lives of those people changed forever…
COMMON PEOPLE weaves together six stories and over thirty characters to present a dramatic, humorous and sometimes magical tale of romance, crisis and adventure on one of London's luscious commons.
"A sweet and huge hearted story of London life"

Thieves stole Christmas presents from a pastor's house while he was in church leading a carol service.
Simon Patterson returned home in Poole, Dorset, on Sunday evening to discover that the front door was slightly open and a garden spade had been left next to it.
Inside, he found that one bedroom had been rifled through and some of his four children's Christmas presents had been taken from a wardrobe, along with a tablet computer and a woman's handbag containing a phone, purse and digital camera.
Mr Patterson, who leads Parkstone Evangelical Free Church, said: "We had a burglary while we were at a carol service and they took some presents."
He said family and friends had helped to replace the stolen gifts and urged members of the public not to donate anything.
"We've had lots of generosity and gifts from other people," he said
A Dorset Police spokeswoman said: "We were called to reports of a burglary on Ringwood Road which occurred sometime between 3.40pm and 5.50pm on December 21.
"Offenders gained access to the secured premises by forcing the front door and stole an unknown quantity of children's Christmas presents and jewellery.
"There has been no arrests."

French retail chain Carrefour is suing a Chinese company for allegedly using its blue logo on supermarket signs, shopping bags and price tags, state media said Tuesday.
Carrefour accuses Anhui Jiale Supermarket Chain Co and its subsidiaries of trademark infringement for using the French chain's Chinese name, Jialefu, at supermarkets in Fuyang city in the eastern province of Anhui, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The French retailer has asked the Intermediate People's Court in the provincial capital Hefei to order Jiale to change its name and pay six million yuan (882,480 dollars) in compensation, the report said.
Jiale has rejected the accusations, arguing it changed its name from Jialefu to Jiale in August 2009 before the lawsuit was filed, Xinhua said.
It also argued that Carrefour's Chinese name, which means "happy family", was not a distinctive trademark.
A spokesman for Carrefour confirmed the hearing was under way but declined to provide any details about the case.
Officials at the court were not immediately available to comment when contacted by AFP.
Copyright infringement is rife in China, with counterfeit versions of famous foreign-branded goods widely and openly available, ranging from designer clothing and handbags to digital video discs, golf clubs, and even books.
