Recently I was contacted by a representative from The LA Shop. She said she had seen my blog and thought that I would like some of the items they have on their website. I had never heard of The LA Shop before, so I went on their website and was shocked by the variety of items they sell! Pretty much, if you name it, they have it! Gardening and outdoor supplies perfect for summer time, tools and hardware for Father's Day gifts... a little bit of everything!
What caught my eye immediately was, of course, the PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT!! I was in heaven! Backdrops, soft boxes, and umbrellas abound on this website. For our photography business Image 1:27 Photography, my partner and I have been looking to purchase some basic equipment. Normally we shoot outdoors, but recently there has been a baby boom, and for newborn portraits, we shoot indoors in the baby's home. For backdrops, one of us has to hold the fabric up while the other one shoots. Needless to say, this is not the best way to get it done. I selected the 8x10 Portable Backdrop Stand.
It was quick and easy to assemble and disassemble. We attached the blanket at the top and draped it over the beanbag, laid this sweet angel down, and took her picture. So much better than what we had been having to do.
As a gift to my readers, The LA Shop is offering 10% off all orders! Just use the promo code BLOGGERS. What a great deal! I will definitely be ordering from them again!

With about 39.6 per cent of voters deciding, we have a majority Conservative government, something we haven't seen since before they were virtually wiped out in 1993.
It should be interesting to see how the next four years goes in Canada. Let's hope that the predictions about Stephen Harper's hidden agenda don't come to pass. Something every government should keep in mind, if it is to survive, is that it must govern according to a real majority of the population and not just its voters. My hope is that any changes the Conservative party does make to Canada are in accordance with the values of Canadians and not what desire them to be.
No, you're not in a parallel universe: NDP as Official Opposition
In Quebec the Liberals and Conservatives took six seats each, with the Bloc at 4 and the NDP picking up 59 of 75. I expected the NDP to do well tonight, but I did not expect the absolute landslide of support for the NDP or for them to become the Official Opposition. It seems to really have come at the expense of the Bloc Quebecois, and in a major way!
The Bloc was nearly wiped off the electoral map (not a bad thing) only being elected in four seats, compared to their 49 just before the election. Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe failed to be re-elected. Lets hope that is the last we hear of separatists in Quebec. There are provincial elections coming, so who knows?
Liberals: time for a new leader (again)
The Liberals have been plagued by weak leaders so I'm curious who'll come up next after the drubbing the Liberals took. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff failed in his re-election bid. I wouldn't have predicted that. I thought the Liberals would slide in support but not the huge fall from 77 to 34 seats.
I noticed Justin Trudeau won his seat. Perhaps a new round of Trudeaumania will be coming for Canada?
Was Ignatieff really the right choice for the Liberals? He never seemed to be a very strong opposition leader and missed many opportunities to attack the Conservative party on some very serious issues. That is the role of the Official Opposition after all, and I think that Ignatieff did fail there.
He was certainly lacking in the likeability department. He's probably a great guy, but he never really came across as a strong leader and it seems that the Liberal campaign really went downhill after the debate, with the NDP picking up all that support.
Green Party's first seat
One bright spot in this election was that Green Party leader Elizabeth May got her party's first seat! That is good news. Perhaps we'll see that change with more seats in the next election. I'm sure everyone will be keeping an eye on her and the Green Party.
Diversity? What diversity?
If you look at the prairie provinces, once again there's a distinct lack of political diversity, federally. Alberta has one NDP seat, Saskatchewan one Liberal and Manitoba jumps up to three seats: two NDP and one Liberal. Not much opposition representation for three provinces.
Ending party politics
I am tired of party politics and have said a few times before that I'd like to see political parties abolished. I would prefer a system much like Nunavut's non-partisan legislature. No political parties and elected officials can vote on issues however they like. No control freaks need apply. Elected officials can also do a better job representing their constituents.
I'm not naive enough to think Canada will ever move to this sort of system, but I can hope. We expect accountability from our politicians, but there is none in political parties at all. Parties all preach openness, but that openness seems to be inversely proportional to their distance from power.
I wouldn't mind seeing some form of proportional representation so that our Parliament more closely reflects the breakdown of the vote. I'm not going to hold my breath that it'll happen in the next four years either. It's much more easily achieved though, and a few years back B.C. nearly got a proportional representation system in the single transferrable vote.
Predictions I hope won't come true
Here are some of the predictions I had made about what we might see from a Conservative majority. How many will happen?
I predict a Harper majority will:
- bring back the death penalty
- expand the prison system, populate it, privatize it
- ban abortion
- further increase military spending – $30 billion on jets with no engines will be nothing
- bring in more tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy
- run up the debt & increase the deficit
- privatize healthcare
- squeeze the middle class even further
- kill the CBC
- further turn Canada into a police state (G20 was a warmup)
Other things I would add to the list:
- InSite safe injection site in Vancouver will be shut down
- expanded war on drugs (have to fill those prisons)
- expanded foreign worker programs
- abolish gay marriage, move to limit gay rights
- failure to protect Canadians from Internet company gouging
What will happen? Time will tell. I hope I'm wrong on this list more than I'm right. What do you think?
Interesting foreign view of Canada's election.

Recipe for an orange cake?
I want to make an orange flavored cake with chocolate frosting. Has anyone got a good recipe? The ones I have made tend to be a bit too moist, I can't seem to get the ratios right
Re: Recipe for an orange cake?
I'm probably not going to be much help as I have never made an orange flavored cake. Closest I've probably done is a jello poke cake using a boxed cake mix. I hope someone is able to get you a good recipe or you are able to find one! Sounds supper yummy!
Re: Recipe for an orange cake?
----- Conventional Measures -----
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
zest from 1 or 2 oranges
1 teaspoon vanilla
----- Traditional Moroccan Measures -----
4 eggs
1 level soup bowl of sugar
1 tea glass of vegetable oil
1 heaping soup bowl of flour
2 sachets of baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tea glass of fresh orange juice
zest from 1 or 2 oranges
1 sachet of vanilla sugar
Preheat your oven to 350° F (180° C). Grease and flour a tube pan. If using fresh oranges, zest and juice them.
With an electric mixer or by hand, beat together the eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually beat in the oil.
Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt, and then the orange juice. Beat until smooth, and then mix in the zest and vanilla.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake tests done.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 7 to 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
Re: Recipe for an orange cake?
Will try that one out myself!
Re: Recipe for an orange cake?
I've made orange cake before. I will try your recipe. Thanks for sharing

News story
GDP rises by 0.8 per cent: economy heading in the right direction
- From:
- HM Treasury, Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street, The Rt Hon David Cameron, and The Rt Hon George Osborne
- Part of:
- UK economic growth
- Published:
- 25 October 2013
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
UK economic output rose by 0.8% between July and September, official GDP figures show.
This third quarter figure builds on a 0.7% GDP rise in the previous quarter, and is the best quarterly performance since 2010.
Responding to the news at the European Council, Prime Minister David Cameron said:
The priority for my government is the economy: getting the economy moving, getting jobs created, getting businesses going, making sure Britain is a success and helping people to fulfil their aspirations. I think the GDP figures out today – they do show our economy has real momentum. They show that we are on a path to prosperity.
We've got a huge amount more to do to secure that recovery, and above all, our work here in Europe and at home is about making sure it is a recovery for all: a recovery for north and south, for rich and poor, for people who have been excluded from our economy. And that is why we put so much emphasis in our economic approach on education, and training and apprenticeships, and also on welfare reform so people who have been excluded from our economy, or people who don't have the training and education to take part in a successful economy, can take part. That is what we are aiming for: a recovery for all. But good news from those statistics today.
Chancellor George Osborne said:
Today's GDP figures show that Britain's hard work is paying off and the country is on the path to prosperity. Many risks remain, but thanks to our economic plan, the recovery now has real momentum. All parts of the economy are growing, the deficit is falling and jobs are being created - and that's the only sustainable way to raise living standards for hardworking families.

Yesterday the Prime Minister visited ASOS in Barnsley to see an example of UK growth. Speaking on the visit, he said:
ASOS is a real success story and now employs over 3,000 people in this area. This demonstrates that there are jobs, businesses and expansion coming to this area. We want to make sure that everyone can take part in a growing economy.

So I'm pretty sure most women can't get there from penetration, I need clitoral stimulation and it's great but how do you come from intercourse?

I couldn't until after I had my hysterectomy. Maybe because I don't have a uterus or cervix anymore? Seems like my gspot has taken over and now I come all the time just from penetration!

I need clitoral stimulation to get off but I have figured out if I control the pace with me on top or even on bottom I can get off by penetration ,you can have clitoral stimulation from the friction of his body. It took me a while to figure out but it can be done.
very rarely...
hed has to give me oral to orgasm..then we have sex for him. well..I enjoy it too but he finishes that way.

WASHINGTON – For D.C. United fans looking for reasons to believe in a comeback bid against the Houston Dynamo in Sunday's Eastern Conference Championship second leg (4 pm ET, NBC Sports Network), look no further than RFK Stadium.
United, who need to make up a 3-1 aggregate-goal deficit, feel that playing at RFK is perhaps one of the bigger factors that could play a part in Sunday's outcome. D.C. are unbeaten at home since March 10 and with more than 17,000 tickets already sold, the club expects a sellout.
"The way we play, at home in particular, it helps," said D.C. manager Ben Olsen (above). "We'll be excited to have that homefield advantage. Hopefully that can continue."
Added D.C. midfielder Perry Kitchen: "It definitely gives us confidence for sure. We know we've been a good team at home, we know what we have to do and we just have to continue it."
WATCH: Get pumped up for DC's 2nd leg
An aspect of playing at home that could help D.C. United with possession and ball movement is that RFK features a wider pitch than Houston's home at BBVA Compass Stadium.
"That's going to make a huge difference," said United Rookie of the Year candidate Nick DeLeon. "Their field is a lot more narrow. Here at RFK, we'll really be able to move the ball side to side and expose those gaps they leave in the middle for us."
Olsen, one of three nominees revealed Thursday for the MLS Coach of the Year, said that despite trailing in the series, not much has to change tactically.
"We're certainly going to have to be a little bit more aggressive, but nothing really has to change," Olsen said. "We've had success at home playing the way we play at home. It's not a thing where we need two goals in the first 20 minutes. If we're in good shape toward the end of this game with a lead, I like our chances. But we can't give one up, can't be silly, in particular on set pieces which they have shown they're pretty darn good at."
Despite facing a difficult task to keep their season alive, compounded by injuries to key players, United feel confident in the style of play that got them here in the first place.
"We have to play our game," center back Dejan Jakovic said after Wednesday's training. "We know we're going to keep the ball. Chances are going to come. We feel confident in ourselves that we will be able to at least get a couple goals.
"We're going to stick with our gameplan," continued Jakovic. "We're not going to change anything. We know, obviously they have the advantage, they're going to sit back and defend most of the game. We have to be patient with the ball, move it side to side and look for openings. This is far from over."

My 2011 Toyota has 15,000 miles on it. I just got its oil changed, and the new place that I took it to told me that I NEED synthetic oil 0W-20 (so they put in "Castrol Edge 0W-20"). But they also told me that I only need to get the oil changed every 10,000 miles. The built-in oil reminder in the car reminds you to get new oil every 5,000 miles though.
So who is right: my car, or the mechanic? Is it safe to replace the oil after 10,000 miles? Thanks in advance for your advice!
Step #1: Open glove compartmentStep #2: Take out Owner's Manual, and turn to section entitled Toyota Maintenance Schedule.Also, refer to the section that specifies the type of oil required for this engine.Step #3: Adhere to the type of oil and the maintenance intervals specified by the vehicle manufacturer if you want to maintain warranty coverage on your engine, and if you want to keep the engine running for the long term.
That being said, I personally doubt that it is safe to go 10k miles between oil changes, no matter what type of oil is being used.
I agree with VDCdriver. The owner's manual is the authority when it comes to your vehicle. The new place is wrong so don't ever take your vehicle back there. There are no mechanics there that's for sure.
I would never go 10k miles between oil changes and in some cases even 5k miles is a bit much.
Hopefully you're in the habit of checking the oil level regularly rather than rely on a dashboard oil minder.Those things have gotten many people in trouble, mechanically speaking.
If Toyota states in their maintenance book that you need to have the oil changed every 5000 miles, then you will void the warranty if you go 10,000 miles between oil changes. If the Oil Life Monitor says 5000 miles and Toyota says to follow the OLM, then change it every 5000 miles. And you can use regular old mineral oil if Toyota does not state that you need synthetic. Always believe the car builder first and foremost, especially during the warranty period.
Personally I don't care if the owners manual says 10,000 is ok. It is a BAD IDEA !! Just because you can does not mean you should. Ask all the poor shlubs with mini-coopers who were told 15k was ok, and they are now hitting 100-120,000 miles and there motors are slugged up. Personally I am a 5k type of guy.
Use the reminder. These do a great job typically as they measure exactly how the car is driven in what condition/temperature/length of time and give a more exact answer.
Toyota learned their lesson about extended drain intervals when they had some nasty sludging problems..
I wouldn't go beyond the Toyota recommendation and if you do lots of short trip driving even cutting the mileage between changes to 3K mile intervals will probably increase longevity. When a car is driven on short trips of only a few miles at a time the engine never reaches full temperature and doesn't burn off the moisture which contaminates the oil. My cars recommend 5K mile intervals and this is what I use on most of them, but my '97 Escort wagon gets the oil changed every 3K miles, because it is used basically for long distance driving and often the same oil stays in the crankcase 1-2 years. There are lots of people who drive 10K miles between synthetic changes, but their cars often begin using oil at an early age. My '88 Escort has probably averaged 3-5K mile change intervals since new, it didn't begin using oil until between 250-300K miles and currently the original engine which has never been rebuilt has 518,700 miles, it's still running and when I last checked compression on it a couple years ago all cylinders were still in the 150 PSI range.
Even if the manual says you can wait until 10K to change the oil, or the oil life monitor says you have 10% or whatever left with 5,000 miles on the oil, understand that by following these, you are doing the bare minimum. Kind of like waiting until you're on fumes before filling the tank, or showing up for work with 5 seconds left before you're late every day. You may be able to get by, but you're not doing yourself any favors.
If you want your engine to last, and never let you down, change the oil every 5,000 miles at the most, with a good quality oil of the recommended viscosity. You can probably go a little longer if you don't live in a cold climate and drive a lot of highway miles, but oil changes are cheap, while engines, downtime, and the associated stress in life are not. What is it going to cost you, maybe $40 more in the course of a year by being a little more attentive? If you can't afford this, you shouldn't have bought a new car. I personally like synthetic oil, and won't use conventional oil any more, but if your manual says you don't need it, you don't need it. Treat the car like you would a friend. You can get away with abusing the friendship or the car a little if you have some good karma from past deeds or using good oil and keeping up on maintenance.

Obama Proposes End to NSA Data Collection
President Barack Obama said he's ready to make sweeping changes to the government's controversial data collection program.
Last June, NSA leaker Edward Snowden first revealed details of the National Security Agency's sweeping program to collect and store the phone calls of millions of Americans.
For months following, President Obama and top administration officials argued the NSA's efforts were necessary in preventing terrorist attacks.
Now, the president's asking Congress to pass legislation that would end the bulk monitoring of American phone calls.
"Overall I'm confident it allows us to do what's necessary to deal with dangers of terrorist attack but does so in a way that addresses concerns people have raised," Obama said.
The president said he agrees with Congress: only phone companies should hold on to phone records.
He said the government should gain access to the data only when needed and by court order.
"We have to make some important decisions about how to protect ourselves and sustain our leadership in the world, while upholding the civil liberties and privacy protections that our ideals - and our Constitution - require," he said.
Obama said a new approach was needed because NSA phone surveillance could potentially take the nation down a slippery slope of major privacy violations.
He wants Congress to draft a law having phone companies store those records instead. He also requests the data be kept for only 18 months instead of the five years the NSA holds it now.
According to the administration, this approach will allow the government to access to the information without collecting and securing it.
However, the plan needs congressional approval, which could be difficult to secure.
Tuesday at The Hague, Obama said the U.S. government needs to win back the trust of countries and ordinary citizens.
He said it's something that can be done slowly over time by following the core values that Americans believe in: privacy, rule of law, and individual rights.
If Congress agrees, the president's proposal will not only limit NSA data collection efforts, but it may also minimize the effectiveness of Republicans to use the NSA spying controversy as a major campaign issue in the months ahead.

Nice! I get really good feedback for being a "rare traditional artist" myself, people don't seem to believe traditional art is possible anymore, so it's nice to see someone else at it for a change
Glad someone else understands, haha. I'll make sure to drop by and check out your art sometime

Tell me if you have ever tried this? Through out the course of your day, keep track of how often you think of yourself, whether it be thoughts, actions, or desires. It is rather eye opening. Even those who consider ourselves the most selfless and others orientated will be shocked at just how consumed we are with ourselves.
One thing is for certain, this is not how God wants us to be. Our ego and pride clash with the command to love our neighbors as ourselves. So what do we do?
Timothy Keller has written a very short, yet direct book on this matter, The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness. He sets out by first diagnosing our problem, then showing us what we are supposed to be, and then finally how we are to get there.
It is amazing how this little book can cover so much ground in so few pages. Keller presents the errors found in the advocacy of both low and high self-esteem. Neither of these conditions are desirable or helpful. The problem is that we need to not esteem ourselves at all. Whether good or bad, or high or low, both are a preoccupation with self. To set things straight Keller uses Paul's words to the Corinthians found in 1 Corin. 3:21-4:7.
So then, no more boasting about human leaders!All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future —all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?The truth is that we place too much importance on what others think of us. We place too much on what we ourselves think. Everyone is searching for validation. We want a verdict to be handed down to us by others or even from ourselves. We want the verdict to proclaim our rightness, our acceptance.
Paul said he didn't care what others thought of him or even how he judged himself. Why? He knew that know matter how hard he tried, the only verdict he would ever receive would be one of sin and guilt. But he also knew that another had taken his guilty verdict for him. Jesus stood in his place and washed away his guilt and sin. Paul no longer placed himself under judgment. His judgment was over. Now he could quit focusing on himself and wholly on God and his obedience to him. This is freedom!
The past is behind us, the future is secure in Christ, and today can be spent at the tasks at hand. When we find our identity in Jesus we are free from the insecurities, as well as the pride of life. This is the blessed freedom of self-forgetfulness.
One quote that so struck me was, "Wouldn't you like to be the skater who wins the silver, and yet is thrilled about those three triple jumps that the gold medal winner did?"
How rare is it to find this humility? To be satisfied in ones self and accomplishments, and supportive and enthusiastic of the accomplishments of others. How often do we react to the success of others with hurt egos and a spirit of competition? If they do well, then we think less of ourselves? Crazy isn't it? But unfortunately this is true more often then not.
This is one book I am truly glad to have read. I pray that the Lord would use this to bring about changes in my life, that I could be one who finds confidence in Christ, and rejoices in the accomplishments of others.

Day Four: What Role for Coal?
The ultimate ambition of the COP process is a decarbonised global economy by 2050. Such an economy is expected to be built upon a renewables foundation. (No one even whispers the word 'nuclear'). The role of the COP gatherings is to plot the course to a carbon-free planet. For some, this journey is but a single 'renewables' step. For others the road is considerably longer and consists of a whole series of steps and bridges: measures to mitigate the impact of burning coal (like CCS and über efficient power stations), conversion to less polluting hydrocarbons like gas (often extracted via fracking). Each step reduces carbon emissions, and buys time for the implementation of greener approaches. The US reduction in carbon emissions has nothing to do with renewables and everything to do with gas.
Binding problems
The EU has set itself up as a climate change leader. Its climate change targets are the most demanding of any country or bloc on the planet. Here in Lima, the EU's drive toward a binding 40% emissions reduction target by 2030 is not only setting the pace, it is frustrating some of the other runners, particularly the US. Binding v. indicative targets is where it is at.
Missing targets and the danger of the average
However, look closer, drill down. Not all EU member states are meeting their targets; an EU average hides a multitude of sins. At present 13 member states are failing to meet their emission reduction targets, including Poland and Romania. When it comes to the target for electricity generated from renewables, it is estimated that 14 states will miss the 2020 EU target.
Despite the fact that these failings vary from state to state, the debate is often reduced to a single proposition: reliance upon coal. 'Coal' is another word barely whispered here in Lima.
The role of coal when you're in a hole
Within the EU, this debate is usually characterised as Poland against the rest. Poland where coal is king. Poland where the problems of carbon emissions are denied. Poland where heavy industry is still heavy. Of course Poland is not alone. There are presently 10 EU member states where coal generates more than a third of electricity share, including the UK and Germany. Indeed the cheap coal from America, liberated by the US's growing reliance on fracked gas, has driven up consumption of coal to the highest level since 2008. Coal currently generates 27% of the EU's electricity.
Perversely, Chancellor Merkel's ambition to wean Germany off nuclear and fossil fuels by 2050 and to rely more on less reliable wind, has seen German carbon emissions rise and electricity prices skyrocket. The predicament has seen Germany return to coal to keep the lights on. Let's not forget that Germany's greenhouse gas emissions are higher than Poland's (and fourteen other EU member states).
At last year's climate talks in Warsaw some 800 green NGOs walked out protesting a lack of ambition in the negotiating text. Polish negotiators also walked out protesting too much ambition. Can there be a climate deal in Paris without Poland?
What future for coal
The EU is currently sitting upon a resource of some 40 billion tonnes of coal, of which the biggest proved reserve is in Poland. There is more coal under our feet than there is frackable gas or oil. Compared to unconventional hydrocarbon, or even conventional for that matter, coal extraction is relatively simple.
UN chief negotiator Christiana Figures recently noted that coal 'can be part of the solution to global warming.' In her speech to the 2013 Coal and Climate Summit, she also noted coal power 'could help poorer countries' economic development and poverty reduction'.
The next generation of coal-fired thermal power stations can reduce emissions by up to 40% compared to older coal power plants. Such new plants currently operate at around 30% efficiency, but with investment in new technology, this can climb to 50%, a figure consistent with the EU's 2030 emissions target. Techniques like Carbon Capture & Storage (CSS) to confine CO2 emissions underground, fluidised bed combustion to improve efficiency, or the conversion of coal to a cleaner gas, can all play their part.
The challenge for Poland and others is that this technology does not come cheap, and investment has all but dried up as the EU adopts a zero tolerance attitude to coal. This despite the fact that coal remains an integral ingredient in our energy mix and will remain so for many years to come. The only serious prospect for investment in carbon mitigation would appear to be CCS, but in this the EU has conspicuously failed to secure any serious commitment at member state level.
European energy security
There is another all too real consideration: Europe and Russia are at war; not a shooting war, not even a cold war, but a trade war. Its consequences could be just as deadly. The further east you find yourself in the EU, the greater the dependence upon foreign energy. Poland imports 60% of its gas, mostly from Russia. And the corollary of this dependence? less financial resources available to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Poland pays more for its Russian gas than France, the Netherlands and the UK.
Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe are in the front line. The simple question to be addressed: what happens when the gas stops flowing? Russia turning off the gas is an all too immediate threat to Poland, to its industry, its economic wellbeing, to its people. Poland's dependence on coal will be, for the foreseeable future, their only guarantee of energy security.
A new paradigm
The Commission recognises the dilemma of energy security, identifying over-reliance on imported hydrocarbons as a serious threat. It has already recognised the importance of indigenous energy resources such as coal in addressing this dependency. Next year the Commission will seek to reconcile its ambitious emissions reduction pledges and the need to ensure energy security within the EU.
Balancing the demands of east and west, indigenous energy and imported energy, renewables versus traditional energy generation, will be a Herculean challenge. At its heart must lie innovation, technology, new processes, and a new paradigm in which our long term ambition to achieve a decarbonised globe is reconciled with short term necessities and the measures that allow us to mitigate their impact. Let's see what emerges from Lima…

Very comfortable and beautiful view. Could use better shades in the master bedroom. It's very bright very early.
Out of the fray but close enough to be a part if want to. Condo & overall complex really nice. Love having shuttle to beach. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Do you ever wish you could get more for less? You do with this unit. Secluded in a corner on the top floor you have a private entrance and patio. The deck has a breathtaking view of the river that flows into the ocean. A true blending of nature and modern features await you here. The complex has the feel of a resort without the expense. The beach is a short step away and the recommended chair and umbrella people are so accommodating. You are surrounded by fabulous restuarants, entertainment, and vista's galore. Want to stay in, check out the local gourmet shops and wine stores and create a beautiful meal in the spacious and modern kitchen. Biggest treat for us was having Thanksgiving and there being a rosemary bush in the garden for fresh herbs. This has been our family destination for years and cannot be beat.
This beautiful condo is a short block from the beach, with a fantastic south-facing deck overlooking the Gulf sunrise and sunset. The complex has a large pool, the unit is spacious with nice furnishings and special appointments. Kitchen was well-equipped. This segment of Santa Rosa beach is mostly residential and uncrowded. Parking is sheltered under the building. We'll be back!
Great condo with lots of room. Having 3 bathrooms is great. Very nicely decorated, with beautiful, updated kitchen and open floor plan. Love the HUGE deck for relaxing and viewing the sunsets. The owners were very responsive to all our questions and needs. It's an easy walk to the beach, and convenient to restaurants and shopping,without being in the middle of the crazy crowds. A perfect getaway for family or friends.
We have stayed there several times but not dealt with this management company before. Arrived on a Saturday and checked in. The cable TV in the master bedroom didn't work, towel bar was pulled off the wall in the bathroom, the fan and overhead light didn't work in the 2nd bedroom, and the shower light was out. All this brought to management's attention that afternoon. Was told they would be over late that evening. Never showed up. Called Monday and was told they would come by at lunch and never showed up. Called the property manager Tuesday and she put me through to the head of maintenance. Said everything would be fixed that day. All they did was replace the remote to the fan/light so we at least could see. They took the cable box and was told it had to be replaced and was taking it to the cable company. Wednesday afternoon called and asked where the cable box was and was told it would be there that evening. It never came. When we left on Friday evening I ran into maintenance and asked them about the cable box and was told they haven't had time to go to the cable company. At least he was honest. When we left--still no cable box, towel bar still lying on the bathroom floor and no light in the shower. When you pay several thousand dollars for a condo you expect for issues to be addressed and not just pass the buck. I hate it that we now have to find a new place to vacation.

Steve Vai Named The Douchiest Guitarist Of All Time
Legendary axeman earns himself somewhat of a different title.
During an over 20 years long career, Steve Vai has earned himself a wide range of titles and awards. He was named the fastest, the best, influential and revolutionary, but this time around, he is in for somewhat of a different recognition.
So in a recent post on the Village Voice, Vai was officially named the 'douchiest guitarist of all time'. 'Why?', you might ask. Well apparently, 'overplaying' and "getting up his own a--" are among the top reasons.
"Sure, plenty of guitar players can overplay and look really intense doing it, but until Steve Vai, we've never seen a guitarist actually manage to go up his own a-- while playing a triple necked guitar with legs crossed. You can almost feel how insignificant he thinks you are with every note he plays. You are blessed to hear him even turn his amp on. If these facial expressions alone during the entirety of this six minute clip don't earn him the top spot on this list, then PLEASE, tell us who deserves it more."
The author says there is a "fine line between sexy and douchey", adding that "Douchey Guitar Player Disease (a.k.a DGPD) is still a scourge on the music industry today" with Vai being among the prime examples.
So do you think this is right? Is Steve Vai really a douche? Or do you think the douchebag title should go to the author? Let us know in the comments section below.

At 5ft 5in tall and weighing just 9 stone, the promising young defender still manages to reach a blocking space of nearly 9ft along the net.
The youthful athlete plays for the club called Mirador which is based in the Dominican Republic's capital city Santo Domingo.
Last year she travelled to Zurich, Switzerland, with her team to compete in the Indoor Volleyball World Championships
Although her team did not advance past Group A, Winifer was hailed a sensation for her skills and her good looks.
At just 19 she was also given the award for Latin America's "best Libero" – a trophy awarded to the sport's most valuable defensive player.
"The Libero can only receive the ball with a dig and no other hit," explained one viewer.
"Since she is clearly only a defensive player and she never attacks it is best for her to be shorter since you'd want to have a centre of mass as close to the floor as possible.
"Shorter players are also more explosive and can quickly cover more parts of the court."
But unfortunately for her new fans, the Dominican beauty will be absent from this year's Olympics in Rio after her team failed to qualify for the games.

With directors turning heroes in increasing numbers and producers doubling up as heroes and even lyricists turning heroes, it shouldn't be a surprise if one of our leading comedians will be turning as a music director in the coming days; in fact, the comedian in question here appears to be too competent to do so!
Not many are aware that frontline comedian Vivek is a more than competent keyboard player. His competency in the keyboard would make even established music directors drop their jaws in awe, it is said. He is also said to be equally competent in playing harmonium, sources close to him say.
How did he gain competency in playing harmonium? There is one small story behind it. Vivek grew up in the company of his grandma, who used to lend money on interest to needy persons. One of the borrowers happened to be a poor musician who mortgaged his harmonium in return of some urgent money he needed at that time.
The musician never returned to reclaim his harmonium, which was spotted by Vivek who started playing at it rather casually. As years rolled on, Vivek gained competency in playing it, apparently without the aide of anyone.
Do we have a music director waiting in the wings?

10 mile walk!
Well, technically it was a rest day. But. I did some lunges and plies (mini goal), walking (I.e. chasing a toddler all over the park for 2 hours with the baby in the beco), and then speed cleaning the living room and kitchen before my sister's family comes over. That all counts, right? Lol.
Re: ~*~*~*~7/2 Evercise Brags~*~*~*~
30 Push-ups
30 Bicep Curls (15 lbs)
30 Tricep Extentions (25 lbs)
3 one minute center planks
Still debating on doing more, but as of the moment that is all. Its supposed to be a rest day.
Re: ~*~*~*~7/2 Evercise Brags~*~*~*~
I spent 3.5 hours at a huge mall...I logged 60 minutes of walking for that though. And 5K run tonight :)
Re: ~*~*~*~7/2 Evercise Brags~*~*~*~
Nothing. We are on a mini vacation in Monterey CA with my parents (who live in TX). I packed an exercise video but packed the wrong one and I can't honestly do the one I brought along yet. So, just all the walking we are doing I'm hoping will work for now. I may try some squats and crunches in a bit.

The St Elisabeth Hospital in Tilburg has developed a method to eliminate the pain experienced by patients suffering from collapsed or broken vertebrae.
The hospital has conducted extensive tests with a special kind of medical 'cement'. In a press release, the hospital says this is the first time the positive effects of the treatment have been scientifically proved.
Each year, the St Elisabeth Hospital treats between 150 and 200 patients suffering from broken or collapsed vertebrae as a result of osteoporosis. Doctors inject the medical cement directly into the affected vertebrae. The hospital says that nine out of every 10 patients are immediately free of pain after the treatment.

I just paid my auto loan off also. I had a drop in the vantage score of sixty six points but not on my regular score with credit Karma. I noticed the last two times I traded in autos to buy another one and they counted the loan as closed and recognized the new one, I don't remember if that dropped my score or not. On the total accounts they still show the three auto accounts that I had , only this time I didn't trade my vehicle . I've decided to keep it and revamp my savings account . This last auto loan was for 48 months and I paid it off in 24 . The bank was happy I paid it off early , why not the scoring teams that are created . Its like a penalty. I guess over the next few months the score should reestablish itself. I know if I go for a loan and I get offered a raw deal I just won't buy the product. Let someone else be stuck. I can still get a good size loan from the bank at a reasonable rate.

text: My Q500 4K, is less than 30 days old. It has flown only 3 times, in part, waiting for a replacement camera from Yuneec. Each flight I landed at first warning, and didn't recharge until right before the next flight. At second charge, the charger became real hot charging only one of the batteries. The other battery did not result in the hot charger. On Saturday, (day 23) after the 3rd charge, the one charger hot battery, upon take off, the low voltage warning came on. I landed quickly with no issue. Today, called Yuneec, Mike said appears the one battery is bad... Batteries only have a 1 month warranty.... If, I am inside one month of purchase, they will replace it. I am, so no concern. I pointed out the written warranty is 6 months, and mentions nothing about battery limited to one month. Mike disagreed. The written warranty, "...accessories are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for six (6) months from the original date of purchase."

I cannot think of a show that has come back in its second season as strongly as Arrow, except maybe Scandal. The characters are more fleshed out and are interacting with new people. Comic books fans get their fill on a regular basis. The island storyline is more directly involved with the current storyline unlike the first season when we just learned more about Oliver's time on the Island. The show seems to be tighter and does not leave anyone out.
Oliver's transition from vigilante to hero is really helping the character. In the first season Oliver was always hiding things, on top of the mysteries of the Island and his frustrating need to be alone. Now he accepts both Felicity and Diggle, the three of them are a real team. With his mother out of the picture at the beginning of the season, Oliver decided to step up for his family. Tommy's death really propelled Oliver's change and I think it improved the character for the viewers. Whatever terrible things happened in the past or happen in the present he is trying to make his way to becoming Green Arrow.
Team Arrow is now a functional team. Diggle has a love life again after his relationship from last season ended ended, which also makes him our way into A.R.G.U.S. His character is not just about his relationship with Oliver anymore. The return of Floyd Lawton always makes Diggle an interesting man, hopefully he is part of the Suicide Squad. Felicity has made it clear that she is an equal member of the team. She is taking a larger role on the missions. Additionally she has a love life, well kinda. Her possible relationship with Oliver and her recent flirtation with Barry Allen. Her continued interactions with Detective Lance are always interesting.
The new characters are another great aspect of the show. The introduction of members of the Suicide Squad is great for the show. Deadshot will hopefully be involved in the storyline in the second half of the season, but the new ones are great too. Michael Jai White as Bronze Tiger was a good start for a show partly driven by action. He could serve as a way to bring China White into the fold, unless it is revealed the reason they were together was because they are already members of the Suicide Squad. The most interesting member so far is Kevin Alejandro's Brother Blood. He interacts with so many of the series regulars. Roy Harper's search as led into directly into Brother Blood's hand, who The Arrow is now going to be pursuing. On the other end of things both Laurel and Oliver has dealings with Sebastian Blood, now running for office. Then there is Isabel Rochev, who I am convinced is Talia al Ghul, making Oliver's office life a little more interesting. Sarah Lance making her back into everyone's lives has livened up the show, both crime fighting and daily life. Lastly Amanda Waller in her normally bitchy self has graced us with her presence, fingers crossed she is part of the Suicide Squad.
What I am looking forward to his the second part of the season. Slade Wilson being the Big Bad makes things very interesting. I would like to see what his plans are for Team Arrow because it seemed his revenge is going to personal as a result of Shado's death. The payoff of spending all the time with Slade on the Island is here. Roy could become a bad guy working for Wilson or he could be on the fast track to join Team Arrow, Red Arrow or Arsenal will do. I want more League of Assassins, especially with Nyssa al Ghul coming to town. I want some more one off villains like Dollmaker earlier this season. Also Sarah needs to come back, so we can have less Sarah scared on the Island and more Black Canary kicking ass. There would also be more for Sin to do. Malcolm Merlyn's bomb-dropping needs to go somewhere.

targeted remuneration benchmarking
The ability to compete effectively for the very best talent and skills available is top of mind for most organisations as they aim to maintain their competiveness, strive for innovation, and achieve transformation goals. Key to acquiring and retaining top talent is providing a competitive remuneration offering.
Standard market remuneration surveys do not necessarily provide real-time or focused data that drills down to a specific skill within a specific market. Too often, organisations find themselves lost when comparing their remuneration offering to what is benchmarked, leading to difficulty in making competitive offers and managing counter-offer risks of key individuals within their existing teams.
We focus on developing and conducting targeted and customised remuneration surveys that address the specific skills sought or challenges faced by our clients.
We at Mindcor understand that having the right remuneration strategy and philosophy is key. This should be informed by targeted research that is specific to the clients' industry, market, and talent strategy. Our experience in managing the full talent value chain means we understand that talent acquisition is not one dimensional and that salary alone is not enough to acquire the best talent. This knowledge and expertise together with our ability to access multiple surveys and data points as well as conduct bespoke research enables us to effectively assist our clients in building a targeted remuneration framework that enables them to succeed in acquiring, retaining, and rewarding the best people, independent from our recruitment capability.

Proceedings Submission
AECT�s Research and Theory Division will be hosting the 2017 Early Career Symposium this year sponsored by AECT. The symposium will be held as a half day online conference October 28th and at the annual AECT International Convention on Tuesday, November 7 (half day 1-6 PM starting with lunch) and Wednesday, November 8 (half day, 7:30AM � noon, ending with lunch together with the AECT Board), 2017, in Jacksonville, Florida. The symposium will thus engage participants in a day and a half of focused career mentoring and networking.
The symposium will reimburse Early Career faculty and Advanced Graduate Students with the conference fee ($395 for Early Career Faculty and $240 for Advanced Graduate Students). Reimbursements are pending submission of receipts after the symposium.
The intended outcomes of the Early Career Symposium include:
Pre-Symposium Activities
Prior to the conference, mentees and their assigned primary mentors will share information, such as affiliations, research interests, and so on. In addition, every mentee will be asked to share with the mentor (a) his/her research statement, and (b) a manuscript or grant proposal that he/she is currently working on. Mentors will review the mentees� work and be prepared to provide specific, in-depth feedback on their work throughout the symposium.
Symposium Events
The Symposium will occur over a day and a half as part of the 2017 AECT Annual Conference on October 28th, November 7 and 8. On the first day, October 28th, in an online session, Dr. Tandra Tyler-Wood, from University of North Texas, with longtime experience from grant writing and as an NSF proposal reviewer, will present to the group on the topic of �Differences between NSF, NIH, and the Department of Education Grants.� After the presentation, mentors will work with their primary team of participants (2 participants per mentor) to follow up on the themes addressed in the panel discussion and further get to know their mentees and their goals in preparation for meeting in person at AECT. The 2 half-days at AECT, November 7 and 8, will further include presentations and mentor/mentee discussions. The goal is to allow each participant the opportunity to benefit from all of the mentors and speakers experiences. .
Early Career Faculty Participants
Five early career faculty applicants will be selected through a competitive application process. The symposium is focused on faculty members who have received their terminal degree in the last five years. Preference will be given to those faculty members who are not at research-intensive schools as they typically have fewer opportunities for mentoring at their home institutions than faculty in research-intensive positions. The applicants agree to attend the entire symposium (October 28 online and November 7-8 onsite in Jacksonville).
Doctoral Graduate Students
Five advanced doctoral student applicants will be selected through a competitive application process. Preference will be given to students who are nearing completion and whose research agendas align with the focus of the Symposium: Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies. Although this program is geared toward doctoral students nearing completion of their degree, all graduate students are encouraged to apply. The applicants agree to attend the entire symposium (October 28 online and November 7-8 onsite in Jacksonville).
All applicants are due on August 1 (Monday), 2017. All materials must be submitted electronically through email to Dr. Jenny S Wakefield at firstname.lastname@example.com. All applicants will be notified of the selection decision by August 22nd (Monday), 2017.

From Barstool Sports comes this school suspension note that wins everything:
My little brother goes to Walpole High School and on Thursday asked to watch the USA vs. Slovakia game during Spanish class. When his teacher said no he called her a communist. She gave him a detention for it. Attached is a picture of the detention slip she gave him. VIVA.
I'm with the kid on this one. Back in the '90's, that teacher would have been fired.
