It has been about a month now since I moved out of Kelowna. I know it's very hard for nonspiritual people to understand this; but it was my guides or my Angels that guided me out of Kelowna. I was told by them under the full moon light, to go north. I was shown clearly in a vision and in dreams that north was home; I was shown that I was supposed to be close to nature so that I could heal from the pain of the many rejections that I experience in Kelowna. You know the spirit works in mysterious ways, very much like the 12th Lord or the 12th house in astrology. These mysterious spiritual ways are very Neptunian, dream like, like mists of figures that you see out of the corner of your eye, or when you hear your name called out just before waking.. and so they called to me to follow the north star home. I completed my spiritual purpose or mission in Kelowna. I created my book and I did all the things I had to do to set the hands on the clock of fate.. and such is divine timing..but they haven't let me know much about that. Somethings like divine timing are mysteries to those of us in the flesh, and that is why we have faith. But I was told to lay it all in their hands and go into obscurity, to set my ego down and let go and let God. And so I have. I pulled these runes to let them tell you and me as to why I had to do what I did.. when I moved back into the country.. were you can leave your doors unlocked and walk around naked with your drapes open because there is nobody to see.
Ansuz ~ To be with the Divine and know the true nature of my own divinity, to give my children peace and a stable home.
Inguz ~ To find harmony and balance through better personal relationships with more grounded and centered people. To clear away old relationships to bring in people into my life who are real so that I can experience the wholeness of myself by being able to be my true self around them. By being able to be my true self without other's inhibitions being placed on to me; I will come to wholeness and then meet a mate who will love me for my true self.
Sowelu ~ My life force returning by my regeneration of not giving my energy to others who refuse to see me or respect me for who I truly am. The retreat was a retreat of strength as I no longer will be present for others to drain me of my energy because they cannot find their own light within. Many mistake the light in others as a way to drain and feed their own egos with it; by my leaving such people or such a society I am now keeping my life force to myself. I will grow stronger as I become more and more of who I am by not allowing them my time or the space to ego feed off of my light or spirit. I will regenerate and heal my aura or light body. I will develop the art of doing without doing.
Kelowna or the city life was a rat race. Kelowna's society was highly competitive without completion; in other words all their striving was for nothing but to say " I am the most popular." If I would of stayed in Kelowna I would of lost my freaking mind. I just couldn't make sense of the fake business world that was not professional or the fake spiritual world that was based on trendy clothes, popularity, ass kissing and PURE EGO. My sensitive soul simply couldn't tolerate it.
When I fell in love with a man named Matthew Cipes upon our first meeting it was just that, it was me seeing his soul and loving him unconditionally. I still do. But even though he is apart of the spiritual community he couldn't trust me or that love. And I forgive him because it is uncondtional. But many in the spiritual community came at me to hurt me for daring to feel that way ,to tell him about it and to write about it. That is what is maddening about Kelowna and Kelowna society. I wasn't considered good enough or pure enough or something not enough to dare feel love for someone who was considered to be way above me by societies standards or financial standards. He and they wanted me to feel ashamed for my feelings, he and they were so intentionally mean. But so many things about Kelowna are just awfully mean.
The thing is this; the refection of how I feel about him is a projection of the love that I have inside of me…and so doesn't it make sense that the cruelty that they showed me is a reflection of how they feel about themselves or what is inside of them? I have absolutely nothing to gain here by saying that I loved him instantly upon laying eyes on him almost 2 years ago as I have left the city. I am sure I will never see him again. I have nothing to gain but to attempt to alchemize or transmute hate into to love.. but then I am not responsible for how others react or how they behave towards me; as that is their own perceptions to take responsibility for.
He or many in the spiritual community would say to me " How did you attract this situation into your life." it is a spiritualistic way of not taking responsibility for how they or he treated me. I didn't attract other's willful ignorance they are responsible for their own humanness or shortcomings. The point is I saw through the lens of love it was their bitterness that I allowed to eventually taint me.
But now I am free of that energy and I have cleared the way to let love, love through me once again and I will open up my heart wide again to let the light shine through me .. to let love find me as I find love once again in my new life.
Through a spiritual lens again; I have 6 major planets in my 1st house. This is the house of individuality or identity and that is what I played out in Kelowna. I found my identity and I used my identity as art or expression in my book ( The Goddess an Expression of the Divine Feminine) I used my image in the photography and I used my own life story to express the story of womanhood. My north node is in Pisces and now 6 major planets are going into the house of the 12th Lord and this is about me loosing my identity or my ego to find my pureness or higher-self. According to my chart I will be reborn spiritually by the 3rd of January. My north node was my coming home to my guides or moving north on and in this earthly reality. It is a beautiful spiritual mystery as towards what will happen. But I know this I just have to let go, let God and flow.
The Divine Feminine cannot rise up or be fully awakened in women unless The Divine Masculine is healed and awakened within men. The Divine Masculine and The Divine Feminine exist within each of us as archetypes. When we find balance within we begin to create balance outside of ourselves in our daily lives and in all relationships.
Society as a whole; worldwide has suppressed The Divine Masculine by encouraging and shaming men away from their true authentic feelings. Men are shamed away from expressing their feelings and taught to deny their emotions of compassion and empathy or sorrow by those emotions being labeled as weak. When men are brainwashed into believing that their more feminine emotions are weak then society as a whole labels femininity as weak. When the feminine aspects of the soul or psyche are denied and suppressed we see this manifesting into society as the repression of women by men. With the repression of the feminine psyche we have created patriarchal rule. Basically without men being able to freely express their own inner goddess like qualities we have a society that has become highly destructive, violent and brutal.
We talk a lot about feminism and the inequality towards women but until we acknowledge the repression of true masculinity, the macho and destructive, dark shadow of repressed male emotions will continue to wage war outside of it's self. Macho has become an entity that has taken on a life of it's own.. it has become the monster outside of men that is the greedy corporations and warring nations. It simply stems back to all of the emotions repressed throughout the decades in each and every individual man.
How do we heal The Masculine? The Divine Masculine, the soul of man will be healed through each man on an individual level. It will be healed by the man who is authentic and truly brave enough to express his emotions, who will not deny or bury his compassion, empathy or sorrow to make other's in denial of themselves more comfortable. The New Man .. The Divine Man .. redefines bravery as having the courage to feel and to express his feelings freely. The Divine Man will not allow other's to define him or his emotions as weak, once a man has allowed his own inner goddess to become intimate internally with his inner god he is risen into his Divinity.
The Divine Man or Divine Masculine makes room or makes away for The Divine Feminine to rise up beside him as an equal; he is not threatened by the female power and respects her voice and power rather than repressing her emotions for fear of facing his own.. Because he has no fear of the flow of the feminine energy.. he gives room for authenticity because he is authentic within himself and true to his own Divine Nature.
A women rises into her Divine Feminine by also healing her own inner god or inner masculine by allowing herself to be angry, by not denying her own sexuality or sexual energy as being just as potent and as important as male sexuality. When both sexes heal and entwine the anima and animus within the world will know balance and peace outside of the individual as micro and macro.
Both sexes have the feminine qualities of ( feeling, expression, artistic creation, abstract and flow ) and the masculine qualities of ( action, focus, logic, strategy and organization)
When men heal their Divine Masculine and start to support women on an emotional level because they are emotionally tuned into themselves.. women will begin to rise into their Divine Feminine because they will be supported and safe in doing so. Women have had to become more masculine to protect themselves from the destructive macho energy that abuses and represses them..but once they feel safe with men who have healed themselves they will start to allow men in again and be freed from their over masculinity. Many women long for this to happen, many women long for a truly emotionally intimate connection with an awakened and aware man who will protect them so they can nurture him..
Our society has become intimacy starved by the injured masculinity on our planet. For us all to find balance, love and peace we must make a conscious space for The Divine Masculine to transform in all men..so that The Divine Feminine may nurture us all once more.
I have had a very difficult few days promoting my book online. I have been called many names, and I have learned of lies and gossip spread about me; and I have learned of those believing the lies instead of listening to the truth. I have been directly contacted and told by some how horrible I am. How I am pretty but it is a shame that I am so negative. I am negative for telling the truth about those who have discriminated against me. I have been told I am an unhappy person in denial by those in denial of the truth of their own behaviors, actions/in-actions towards me. Many allow the discrimination by turning a blind eye to it, because to admit that it is happening would mean they would have to do something about it. They don't want to help me because it would disrupt their comfort and positions in society..
I experienced a huge range of emotions.. from hopelessness, sorrow, shock, anger and then my in my conscious defense ( humor ) humor to fight the ignorance and stupidity.
Last night before falling asleep I asked the Universe or the Divine for a dream to help guide me or to help me.. this is called lucid dreaming. I have been able to lucid dream since I was a child; but I am not always answered by the Divine or Universal Energy.. but I was last night.. I am finding as my struggle with society begins to become even more heated that I feel the presence of the I AM.. with me directly. The dream I had last night almost feels miraculous ….
" I sat still and motionless on the lily pad.. I was the small green fog. I was still within the pod.. I floated without effort..I was the lily pad. I quietly opened to the sun..as my petals peeled back one by one and my fragrance filled the air.. I was the lily. The light breathed through me.. I carried it with in me.. I was the air. I burned my warmth forth without effort.. I was the sun. I looked within.. I was in everything; I wasn't trying, I just was.. the Buddha." ~ The Dream
I hope you can see the beautiful humility in the words. Humility is the greatest force of The Divine.. it is only through humility that we find the God/Goddess within us. It is only through humility that we are able to see through or own egos and the egos of others..
The Buddha didn't speak to me but spoke through me and through the peace of tranquility .. The Buddha carried both the masculine and the feminine in my dream… this represented balance again..or the still center. In my dream the Buddha was blue.. this is the color of truth.. and the Buddha was showing me it's eye wide open.. it was the color of tropical waters or turquoise.. the spiritual meaning of turquoise is peace.. meditation, mediation, protection, comfort, calm, stillness, healing.. turquoise is the color of basic truth and deep wisdom.
The Buddha was telling me that I am dealing with ego's that are steeped in illusions .. My society and all society is mesh of illusions projected by ego.. the emotions of these egos.. or their projected perceptions of how they see themselves and how they see the world is being projected onto me..as they attempt to label me to fit me into their illusions. I am provoking their response by not allowing myself or them to tangle me up in their illusions.. to be my truth or the truth is highly offensive to them..as their illusions give them great comfort, status, wealth or prestige in society..the only way for them to find Nirvana was for the Buddha to find Nirvana.. by seeking only the truth past illusion or ego..
If I were to accept their illusion.. I would be crushed by it.. as they seem to have to put me into the victim role for them to excuse themselves from their own dysfunctional attitudes and behavior… and that has been denial of their own egos..
And so it is that I find Nirvana.. by seeing the truth.. for truth ..by the stillness and humility of internal balance.. meditation.. by being the Buddha within all things..
And so it is that this dream brought me peace, protection, tranquility..and the power to keep being the truth.
{ 3 things cannot be hidden long;
The sun
The moon
The truth } ~~ Buddha
We can spend an entire lifetime trying to please others having never truly lived.. such is the price of perfect.. or seeming to be so. Don't we all see this in the perfect social personality that others portray; be it in person or on their social profile.. Its funny how many seem to need the PERFECT PERSON to be their GURU.. I have problems with this..I have problems with fluffy, fake spirituality and fluffy, fake anything…this is not true enlightenment or living in reality at all.. it is making the darkness conscious that we come to the light of our soul.. so what does that look like?
It is tempering.. it is blending the spiritual and the physical.. it is understanding that we live in material world in the flesh and blood as spiritual beings living in the flesh and blood.. it is understanding the ego..that we are indeed having a separate experience in living but in the spirit we are all connected as a whole in that we are all of the same energy that is all creation.. so denying the needs of the flesh.. like being a sexual being or the need to make money for creature comforts is indeed ignoring the darkness and not bring it into the light.. but living to deeply in the material world and using spirituality to create propaganda ( a polished lie.. like many cults and religions) is denying the darkness again..as it is the ego that lies for manipulation and control over others.. so it is those who live only for money are lacking enlightenment and those who live only in the spirit are indeed lacking enlightenment as both are denying the darkness or lying to the self about the ego..the dark ego that lives to look down on others..as it be with wealth, fame and fortune or by judging others as not being as Spiritual as them.. true enlightenment is seeing perfection as false and fake..and true enlightenment is accepting all the parts of the self and all the parts of others..and by seeing we are all imperfect; true forgiveness is possible by all..as we are all prone to fall from grace.. this is how world peace will come about. The Unknown parts of the self and in all creation are the mystical made known..as the unknown is always present..as perfection and the search of it the true flaw.
The God and Goddess wisdom teaches us that we are indeed the savior that we seek..that we are indeed the Divine in physical form.. just look in the mirror to see GOD or GODDESS.. we are the energy of all creation..want a miracle .. listen to your heart beat.. look outside and watch the sunrise and sunset.. Every mystical text.. every holy book, every prophecy was metaphorical.. it was to be understood as the dreamscape .. the land of dreams inside of each soul and mind and heart.. it was to be understood as the human experience of growth and true evolution..to to be taken as literal.. it was the ego that did this.. it was fear that caused humanity to kill in the name of religion.. we have been acting like children..very evil children as we have denied the darkness for far to long.. we have denied are primal needs for sex..and for just being in our truth.. we have lied to keep up face..we have been fake and fearful..
It is time now that we see who and what we really are..that we see we are the metaphor .. we are Gods and Goddesses..
Let us not deny our true story.. let us speak, live and be in our truth..
Let us be loving and forgiving..and let us not deny our roots.. to be sensual and spiritual..as this is the true blending of the opposites the darkness made conscious.. humanity coming into the light by full awareness of the unknown..as it is acceptable to be wild and real… and DIVINE


text: Another big game and the defense was on early as the sisters got two quick KU turnovers and turned them into points. It was close early with ISU hanging with KU behind 10-7 after KU hit a pair of treys. State was getting shots and missed several opportunities in close, but still hitting a good percentage. It was the Hal show with little help elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, getting Hal going early is huge. A nice back door cut with a pass from Seanna to Nikki would tie it at 11 but KU got a gift from the officials to get a traditional trey using an NBA style continuation play. Back and forth it went. Both teams scoring and missing, always staying close. It was all from three for KU as they were hot hitting four of them early. 17-13 KU with 12 to go. The sisters would put some heat on inside and between Nikki and Hal the ladies would take the lead 20-17 with ten to go. KU would tie it at 22 after yet another trey. On the other end the sisters were putting up bricks from deep. And KU would hit yet another trey to retake the lead 27-26 and would score again after a steal to go up 29-26 with 5:30 to go. Note...the sisters have yet to go to the line this half. Back and forth they would go and Seanna would make another great drive to knot it up at 30. My big concern was fouls. We were putting KU on the line a lot. The JayHawks were shooting over 60% for the half. They were doing it inside and out. On the other end the sisters were shooting around 55% and dominating inside. If the D would step up a bit things would shift in our favor. Turnovers were helping us as KU was getting happy feet. At the 1:37 mark Brynn would hit our first two free throws to tie the game at 34. Hal would pick up her 2nd foul right after and our interior defense would suffer for it. Gardner would hit two straight and it was 38-34 with a minute to play. KU was hitting 68 freaking percent. At the half Fallon would hit one of two to make it 38-37 at the half. Something needed to change in round two. The second half started with a banked KU three but they went cold from deep after that. Three minutes in it was tied at 41. Seanna would nail a trey with a dish out from Hal and we had the lead 44-33 four minutes in. Gardner would answer back. She was eating us alive tonight. The ladies were hanging close, but Gardner was carrying KU and Hal went to the bench with her 3rd foul down by 2 at the 15 minute mark. Gardner was pounding the offensive boards and all we were doing was fouling her in the process. She put KU up by 4 and KU would keep pushing inside. Our defense was breaking down left and right and KU was capitalizing. Our offense was missing and only getting one shot per possession. To make matters worse, Nikki would go to the bench with three fouls with 14 to play. The question now is who would pick up the slack? Well, Jadda would start by hitting a traditional trey. Kidd would be open twice, wide open and only clank iron from deep. And then...she was open again and drained it. The lead was 52-49 with 12 to go. It was a youth movement. Buckley would pick up her third with 9 to go and the game continued to go back and forth. Hal would nail a trey and it was 60-58 with 8:30 to go. Nikki followed with another trey on a Jadda assist and the lead was five. KU. Hit two straight treys sandwiched around two back door cut baskets for state and the lead was three. Hal forgot to play D and KU got an easy bucket to cut the lead to one. Back and forth it went. There didn't appear to be much defense as both teams were very efficient. We had a chance to extend the lead to five and Jadda dribbled the ball off her foot and KU converted. Yet on the other end Jadda dished to Seanna for a lay in. Three minutes left and ISU was holding on to a 4 point lead. Brynn was being a monster on the boards. Jadda made a great drive, scored and was smashed by Asia Boyd who fouled out. The lead was seven with 1:45 to go. After a KU miss, it was foul a Cyclone time. Nikki for a pair. 9 point lead. A defensive breakdown and KU would hit another wide open trey. 83-77 with :45 to go. Brynn for a pair. 8 point lead. KU scores quickly. Brynn for a pair. 8 point lead. Air ball on a three and the ladies win 87-79 and are now at the magic 20 win mark. Notes Free throw discrepancy. We seemed to foul on shots and KU didn't. Number of fouls was close most of the game but KU had three times the attempts before the foul-a-thon began. In the end state hits 17-18 free throws. Offense. The offense is clearly working at a much different level now than during the dark period of the season. A big part is getting contributions from multiple players. Rebounds. We were absolutely dominated on the boards and I was surprised by how much at the end of the game. It always seemed like it was a red jersey getting a crucial board. POG - IMO has to be Seanna tonight. She was aggressive. She was solid. But you could easily make a case for several others. You had to like the multi-headed scoring monster that this team has become. Hal 17, Nikki 18, Jadda 16, Brynn 10. Wow. The game turned when...if you read my notes above there was a point when Hal and Nikki were on the bench with three fouls and lots of time left. Those young women stepped up, led by Jadda and maintained the pace, got the lead and never let it go.

i have been feeling rather vain lately. simply because a kid that i was testing asked if i was still in college.
and also because i got carded at the liquor store today. the clerk asked if i was really 31.
i never thought that these things would make my week, but then again, i've never been on the other side of thirty before. laughing!!

Our Commitment to a content marketing strategy | Content marketing best practice
Our first priority at Concentric Dots Content Marketing is to build lasting relationships with our clients. Our second priority is our commitment to a content marketing strategy that gets results for our clients.
Our commitment breaks down into three core values:
1. Rigour
Content is a conversation. We cannot rush it. Gone are the days when a business handed a brief to their agency and then left them to get on with it. Markcomms is much more collaborative today. If you need a few pages turned around quickly, we will be happy to help you, but only if we already have a relationship, and we know your business. If you're a new client, however, we need to get to know your business first, and we can't help you until we've understood your goals and understand your business. The short of it is, we won't cut corners to get things done quickly.
A few days is just not enough time to understand your unique challenges and solve them through carefully crafted content. We want to help you. We just won't do a rush job. Ultimately, a rush job hurts you, freaks us out, and produces something that does nothing for the reputation of our profession. So, unless you give us the time to understand your business, your goals and metrics and what you hope to accomplish with your content marketing, we cannot help you.
2. Intimacy
Content is an intimate thing. Creating content that works for your organisation and engages your audiences means a close relationship with you. Without it we can't understand what you want to achieve, and we can't give you the content marketing tools and frameworks for success.
It's this level of intimacy that keeps our agency small. We don't have 20 clients. Know why? Because we can't have a conversation with 20 people at once. Right now, we'd rather work with just 10 clients and do a great job for them, rather than do an OK job for 20. It takes time to get to know each individual business, the business owners and managers, and the business' challenges and audiences. We're fiercely proud of our work and the results we get for our clients.
3. Endurance
This may sound odd, but not every business is made for content marketing. Do you know how we decide which businesses are right for content marketing? We assess their people and their culture. We test their leader's vision, their horizon, and their goals. We test their legs. We look for marathon runners. That's because we've tried turning content marketing projects around quickly, and it doesn't work. Content marketing takes time, but once it's established it endures, and goes on and on, like a Duracell battery, attracting and pulling new customers to your business.
So if you want it fast, and you're a sprinter, you might find other types of marketing, like display ads and PPC, better suited to your short term goals. Although these types of marketing do not endure like content marketing, they drive traffic to your website landing page more punctually, than solid content marketing. But, if you're looking for a strategic and planned approach that gives your business the tools to create your own long term lead-generative content marketing, and you want to build your authority and audience over time, you should definitely talk to us.
So, shall we begin with a conversation?
Learn how to set a content marketing strategy, then run a cost effective programme for a small business.

I first started making hot sauce in Amsterdam,The Netherlands, around 2009 in my squat OUTPOST, where I also ran an art space, and later in the kitchen of the activist run vegan restaurant MKZ. The sauces came out of my practice as an artist and has titles referring to art, music, books and cinema. My orginal series has four sauces and besides that I do demo sauces know as prototypes and special edition sauces as part of collaborations and other projects.
In 2013 I went to Mexico where I am currently busy making art projects and inventing new sauces. My new Mexican series has titles referring to culture and politics. The first two sauces are called "Mil Usos" after a 1980s movie, and "Auto Defensas" after the self defence groups fighting both the drug cartels and the government troops.
For bookings/wholesale etc. mail me at email@example.com
The labels of the Amsterdam series are designed by Our Polite Society.

Mistakes We Knew We Were Making
- Artist: The Information
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 2/1/2005
|your cart is empty
The Information is a band that is dependably wide awake in the middle of the night, hatching schemes and obsessing. Their debut LP, Mistakes We Knew We Were Making, provides the dark, frenzied, and futuristic soundtrack for a lifestyle that perpetually races through neon-lit streets at 4 AM. The jet-engine roar of Stooges-style guitars tangles with Japanese video game synth hooks while vocalist Max Fresen gives you a piece of his insomnia-addled mania. With a bratty and volatile mix of attitude, chic, and provocation, Mistakes caps a year of nonstop growth for this band. The Information started 2004 as one of a handful of noteworthy newcomers in the Boston music scene, and closed the year at the head of the pack. Their following grew with support engagements for national acts like Hot Hot Heat, Louis XIV, Stellastar*, Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, Les Savy Fav, Swervedriver\'s Adam Franklin, and Dear Leader. When their two tracks on The Pill\'s Tomorrow Never Happened CD began to get commercial airplay, The Information headed back into the studio with a brace of ideas for a new record as visceral as and raw as their manic ambition, while remaining as sleek as and as smart as their collective stage persona. The resulting album is now in your hands.

"Husband admitted with strangulated hernia"
About: John Radcliffe Hospital John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford OX3 9DU
Posted via NHS Choices
My husband and I arrived in Oxford on June 6th and within ten minutes of arrival were in an ambulance taking us to john Radcliffe Hospital. The care we received there was fantastic and I am a Band 7 nurse and am not easy to please. The care we received in A and E was superb with particular the doctor who looked after my husband. Everything was explained, everyone introduced themselves (although we have forgotten all the names) and when we were told things would happen they did eg pain relief and x ray. We were then transferred to surgical assessment unit and eventually the ward and the porter who transferred us was also kind and caring. Again we were kept informed and everyone introduced themselves. Pain relief was offered and given and most importantly reviewed and alternatives given until my husband was settled. I was given a cup of coffee and made to feel welcome to stay. all of our questions were answered. The surgery was performed the same night and I was called at my hotel to tell me when he was going down to theatre. He was discharged home the next day with full discharge information. I was very impressed and proud of the NHS care given. Well done Doctors, nurses, porters and all other staff.

How should the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) respond to this? By recommending that NHS counselling should be denied to thin depressives, obviously. If smokers, drinkers and overweight people can be refused treatment because their ailments are self-inflicted, then thin people must accept the consequences of their actions too. Thin people, just as much as fat, have to be responsible for their lifestyle choices. The point, surely, is not "diet or die" but rather "diet and then die, Twiggy".
"We were quite surprised as there is a view that people who are overweight may be stigmatised and made to feel depressed," one of the authors of the study, Professor David Gunnell, was reported as saying. The findings are bad news for Peter Jackson, the King Kong director who lost 70lbs in 10 months. He was reportedly so obsessed with the Lord of the Rings that he decided to become a real-life hobbit. Imagine his upset when he found that New Zealand's public health services denied him cosmetic surgery which would have provided him with pointy ears like Elijah Wood's. Now he's just a small man with uninteresting ears, cheated by parsimonious Kiwi doctors from fulfilling his manifest destiny.
Of course, that's only one story about Jackson's motivation. According to other reports, he thought that losing weight would help him with the ladies and make him a shoo-in to direct the Thumbelina remake. If only he had read the Bristol study before embarking upon his diet. Then he would have realised he was opting for a life of mental suffering and obsessive scrutiny of the Heat magazine photos to see which bulimic celeb has cellulite on her thighs.
This, at least, is the corollary of Professor Gunnell's study. He claims that thin people are unhappier and more anxious. Researchers at Clerkenwell University (ie me) are doing a rival study to find out if the Bristol psychologists are fat people with a grudge. We will be testing the hypothesis that this study is being published to undermine Nice's nasty recommendations and to scupper government plans to issue so-called Fatbos which involve, I learn from my government source, keeping the 22% of the adult population who are obese indoors during shop opening hours.
Hazel Blears' so-called "cake-shop curfew", I can reveal, will follow Tony Blair's announcement tomorrow of the creation of Asbos for under-10s or so-called "teeny tearaways". "The challenge is to find new groups to stigmatise," says my source. "Hence Fatbos. Soon Hazel and Tony will be the only people without Asbos, which is consistent with government policy aimed at ensuring that neither of them should have to live in fear."
How about Foebos, I asked the spokesman. "What are they?" he replied. "Asbos for the unborn. Foetuses' anti-social kicking upsets law-abiding mothers and demands a government solution." "Fancy a job in the Home Office?" he replied.
Anyhoo, back to the lard sandwiches. An obesity expert tells the Sunday Telegraph that parents obsessed with healthy eating and fad diets raise children who feel guilty about food and risk becoming binge eaters in later life. Surely the opposite might be true: they could risk becoming self-loathing anorexics. Some may even become obesity experts.
What will happen to such obese children when they go to hospital seeking treatment for fat-related ailments? Will they be refused it because their chubosity was self- inflicted? That would be so unfair! Surely parents should be refused NHS treatment if they raise children who overeat in order to compensate for mum and dad's crackpot yo-yo dieting. You see, thin people are the problem in today's society. Fat people are the solution. Which is great news with Christmas coming on. Eat yourself fatter, Britain.
There are more Davids than women in the shadow cabinet. But, ladies, don't worry your pretty heads! According to the Mail on Sunday, Cameron has unveiled "radical plans" for more women Tory MPs. Let's hope they're all like former GMTV presenter and Conservative MP wannabe Esther McVey, the hottie pictured on page five of the Mail to accompany a hubba-hubbathon - sorry, political analysis - of "Dave's dolls".
McVey didn't have had time to change out of her nightie for the photo-shoot of her lying on her back with legs in the air, but no matter: great gams, Esther, now show us your policies! The subtext? Blair's babes are sooo last decade. The Tories even have a lovely called Priti Patel eager to drape herself over Dave's front bench. And she certainly is! Pretty, I mean!
Front-facing baby buggies are associated with poor speech development, says new research. It will be followed, as night follows day, with research claiming that backward-facing ones create generations of friendless losers.
Modern parenting, after all, involves wheeling small children through the fog of rival surveys. Only recently, one survey contended that dummies were associated with cot death while another argued that depriving your baby of a dummy promoted cot death. My new study for Clerkenwell University posits an inverse relationship between exposure to studies and human well-being. Paradoxically, no one should read it.
This week Stuart saw Flightplan. "A clunker about Jodie Foster losing her daughter in-flight, made scary by watching it with hormonally crazed mothers and cinema-rage tots at a parent and baby screening." Stuart visited Tate Modern to see Jeff Wall's photographs. "A terrific retrospective and blissfully quiet too - the crowds are in the nearby Henri Rousseau show."

I am using the Subscriber.Unsubscribe method to remove users users from the client's subscriber list, but it is not working correctly.
As it is now, I have a page with a form field where the user enters their email address and then after clicking the 'Unsubscribe' button, it will unsubscribe that email address from the subscriber list. For some reason, that does not work. It will redirect the user to a confirmation page that I set up in my client settings, but it will not unsubscribe the user from the subscriber list. Ideally, I would like to have the user enter their email address and then it will send them an email with an unsubscribe link, so that no random person can enter your email address and unsubscribe you. Is that possible?
I am using the Subscriber.Add method perfectly and it is adding new users to my client's subscriber list here: http://idea-palette.com/cm/addtomailer.php
I am using the Unsubscribe method in PHP unsuccessfully here: http://idea-palette.com/cm/removefrommailer.php
Here is the code I am using:
$emailfield = $_POST["cm-juuujh-juuujh"];
$api_key = 'MY API KEY';
$client_id = null;
$campaign_id = null;
$list_id = 'CLIENT LIST ID';
$cm = new CampaignMonitor( $api_key, $client_id, $campaign_id, $list_id );
$result = $cm->subscriberUnsubscribe($emailfield);
<form action="http://ideapalette.createsend.com/t/r/s/juuujh/" method="post">
Email:
<input type="text" name="cm-juuujh-juuujh" id="juuujh-juuujh" />

<input type="submit" value="Unsubscribe" id="removefrommailer_submit" />
I think you already have contacted support, but if not, please do and one of our developers can take a look for you.
Your unsubscribe form has the action set to http://ideapalette.createsend.com/t/r/s/juuujh/ which I believe is your subscribe form. This looks to be your problem and is probably why your PHP code which calls the API is never called by your form.
You probably want to set the action of your form to something more like /cm/removefrommailer.php and configure that PHP script to react to the submission of the email address in your form.

The best way of doing this is using federation. Federation can be used between databases in the same instance, between databases in different instances, between databases in different servers, between databases in different operating systems. For example we used to use federation between DB2/Windows/Intel and DB2/VSE/mainframe_Zserver for many years...
Try reading something like this: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db...06purnell.html
By the way, federating server is already included in DB2 so no extra costs.
Hope this helps,

Alpha Protocol - Preview @ Play.tm
This preview of Alpha Protocol from Play.tm at GamesCom expresses some doubts:
There's no arguing with these structural elements, and all were painstakingly highlighted during the (annoyingly non-playable) demo. But therein lies the problem. The majority of the presentation involved delving into the many layers of customisation available to the player whenever Thornton is between missions housed in one of several international safehouse locations. Surrounded by clean but strangely bland environments, the unexpected graphical sterility, atmospheric shortfall and lack of scale was carried over when Thornton left his Moscow safehouse to finally take on a mission.
Specifically, segue cut scenes looked disappointing by the standards of some genre heavyweights - and worryingly there was no exterior exploration or travel to view as Thornton prepared to unleash his heroics. Surely the final game won't simply transfer the player from safehouse to mission and back again... surely that was merely an unexplained demo condition designed to save time? Regardless, it was safehouse-to-segue-to-mission. Done. Exterior gameplay was necessary, and its no-show was a distinct disappointment. Furthermore, as an aesthetic aside, characters were visually lacking in, well... emotion and character, and dialogue animation was particularly undercooked.

What's YOUR dream vacation?
Do you have it on a vision board yet?
So … what are you waiting for?!
Maybe just a simple weekend away would be a dream come true, and that's fine. Or maybe you'd like to do something fun and different, something that feels more like an adventure.
This article is partly for everyone who has "Cruise to Costa Rica" on their vision boards, and for everyone else, it's here to inspire you to make a vision board and turn your very own dream vacation into a reality!
Costa Rica has been called the "Switzerland of Central America." That might sound odd for a tropical paradise, but that's what makes Costa Rica so amazingly unique.
Beautiful white sand beaches stretch for miles along Costa Rica's glorious Pacific coast. Docking in Puerto Caldera, you'll see magnificent mountain peaks that rise to 13,000 feet. In this diverse and fascinating country you can experience everything from the entertainment of exquisite musicians and dancers to wildlife preserves with a wide array of animal life.
And that's only the beginning. Costa Rica is just one stop on the itinerary when you book a Panama Canal Cruise at CruiseDirect. Other ports of call include (this will vary depending on the cruise you choose):
When you book your cruise with CruiseDirect, you'll never pay a booking fee.
- Panama Canal, Panama
- Colon, Panama
- Limon Bay Panama Canal, Panama
- Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica
- Puntarenas, Costa Rica
- Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua
- Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala
Central America is a very popular cruise destination, and you can choose from a number of cruise lines including:
- Princess Cruises
- Norwegian
- Holland America
- Disney
- Carnival
A huge bonus of cruising is that the journey is as much fun as the destination. Experience the luxury of being treated like the royalty!
If you've never been on a cruise, the video at right gives you an inside tour. It was filmed by an actual passenger, so it isn't just some hyped up commercial! They were cruising to Alaska, another awesome destination, but you'll still get a great view of life on board the ship.
Ready to go? There are LOTS of choices, but to get you started, here is one to check out:
10 Night Panama Canal Cruise on the Island Princess from $799 on CruiseDirect.com

Brampton FC 2,
Dronfield Town A 1
Brampton managed to keep their unbeaten league start in a tight match against Dronfield Town A.
On the half hour mark Brampton went ahead as Dickens was upended in the box and Joe Dudley cooly sent the keeper the wrong way.
Dronfield Town got back into the game before half-time as Brampton managed to defend a corner but were unable to stop the return cross coming back into the box being headed into the far corner.
The second-half winner, which put Brampton into third place in the table, came as Dickens was played through by Branson and he shot past the oncoming keeper from 12 yards taking a fortunate deflection on its way.

In our last post we discussed how, for the first time for many people, Pokemon Go introduced an augmented reality (AR) that is both mobile and interactive, seamlessly integrating digital elements with our physical surroundings. We also posited that as this technology progresses, AR will have a profound effect on the practice of architecture, both on the buildings we design and the tools and methods we use to design them. For this post, we'd like to share a few ideas from these two realms.
But first, imagine augmented reality has made the leap from the screens of our phones and TVs to wearable devices like Google's Glass, Microsoft's HoloLens, or the yet-to-be-released device from secretive startup Magic Leap rumored to project digital images directly onto our retinas. Imagine also that AR has advanced beyond Pokemon Go's implementation. Instead of digital images simply being overlaid onto a video feed, imagine software that can intelligently parse what you are physically seeing and project the digital images in accordance with real-world physics. For instance, a digital Pokemon seen on a real table would appear to maintain its position, perspective, and size as you move toward and around it. It might then appear to hop off the table, land on the floor, and run through an open doorway until it disappears behind a wall. For all intents and purposes, it would feel as if it was actually there. When AR reaches this level of maturity, the following ideas may be possible.
How buildings themselves may be different
When AR wearables are as ubiquitous as smartphones and we can add new interactive, digital elements to buildings with the equivalent of an app update, what will that mean for physical components? In general, buildings may become blank slates, backdrops for the unlimited possibilities afforded by software. The artwork on the walls could be digital representations of priceless paintings, recent vacation photos, or your child's latest drawings. Everything from A/V equipment to thermostats to light switches could potentially be replaced by an infinitely-more-flexible digital counterpart. Even more broadly, as these digital representations move out of the uncanny valley, the color and finish of all floors, walls, and surfaces could be digitally superimposed, customized by every occupant, and changeable with the tides of fashion.
Moving beyond the superficial, AR is capable of making remote interactions feel like they are occurring in-person. In the same way we can see and interact with a Pokemon that's not really there, so can we with another person. In a healthcare context, this should help facilitate the telehealth consultations already happening today. Dedicated remote consultation rooms may replace some exam rooms. The practice of medicine and surgery may change, too. Critical vitals currently residing on screens could be projected exactly where and when surgeons need to see them. Less equipment in operating rooms could lead to new configurations. Surgeons may also be able to see how sanitary their equipment is. Clean clamps and scalpels might have a white aura to them but develop green spots when compromised. Medications that shouldn't be mixed might glow red in each other's presence. The ability to see this "metadata" for real objects will likely lead to new workflows and layouts.
In education, remote classrooms like Harvard Business School's HBX Live! designed by Shepley Bulfinch in 2015 will evolve and become more commonplace. Conversely, when students actually attend lectures in person, the classrooms may not look like anything we have today. When we can conjure up three-dimensional, annotated models of an engine or a human brain or anything else, will professors still use slideshows? Classrooms for lecture-style content may come to resemble roundtables where a professor stands with an interactive digital projection in the middle of a circle of students, showing a concept in action as it is being taught.
How we practice architecture may be different
In the same way more natural-feeling remote interactions will change healthcare and education, so too will it change the practice of architecture. Remote collaboration will be much more effective and getting the right person "in the room" will be easier than ever.
Creating architectural drawings may feel much more natural when you can "draw" directly on the surface of your desk and use hand gestures to quickly convert drawings into 3D models. Once you have a virtual 3D model on your desk that you can rotate and zoom in and out of, imagine how different it will feel compared to drawings and models stuck on the two-dimensional screens of today. Later in the process, low-fidelity cardboard mockups augmented with digital additions may obviate the need for high-fidelity mockups. AR may also provide the flexibility to recreate many different simulated events in a room without having to source multitudes of equipment.
These ideas merely scratch the surface of how architecture may change. When people can see things that aren't really there, supporting information in the context of when it's needed, and real things that our eyes could never detect (e.g. heat, Wi-Fi strength, or cleanliness), what sort of new behaviors might we have? How will our environments need to change to accommodate these new behaviors? At this early stage, we have more questions than answers. However, here at Shepley Bulfinch we are excited about the future of augmented reality and its impact on architecture. As with all emerging technologies, we will continue to think critically about the new opportunities for creative solutions they pose.
