By JOHN W. GOODWIN JR.
A Canfield man who dragged a man beneath his car, which resulted in the victim's death, was led from the Mahoning County courthouse in handcuffs and will spend at least the next three years in prison.
Bryce Burke, 27, of Mercedes Place, appeared Wednesday before Judge James C. Evans of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for sentencing on one count of failure to stop after an accident resulting in death.
Burke, in a plea agreement with prosecutors, entered a guilty plea to the charge in March.
Burke was not alone in the courtroom. He was joined by dozens of family members and friends of the victim in the case — 22-year-old Andrew Culp of Columbiana. The victim's supporters crowded the court, leaving some standing in the hall outside the courtroom. Several addressed the court on behalf of the victim.
Rose Culp, the victim's mother, told the judge she still can't understand how Burke could drag her son under his car then leave him on the side of the road to die. Through tears, she said even the maximum sentence of five years in prison would not be long enough.
"The defendant has shown no care from Day One and only cared about his own well-being," she said. "Five years seems like a light sentence after the pain he caused Andrew and his family and friends."
Mary Sharpe, Andrew Culp's aunt, asked the court to show the value in human life by imposing a stiff sentence on Burke.
Todd Herron, a friend to the Culp family, said Culp's loved ones have waited for justice since the day of the incident. He told the court Burke should be considered a danger to society because he lacked empathy for human life.
Atty. J. Gerald Ingram, representing Burke, described his client as a 27-year-old kid in a situation with very unusual circumstances. He told the court that Culp is partially at fault in the accident because it is believed he was lying in the road when he was struck by Burke's car. That comment drew a reaction from family members in the courtroom, forcing deputies to ask for quiet.
Ingram said Burke has had to have counseling after the incident and still has nightmares about what took place. Ingram asked the court to impose probation with some time in the county jail.
Burke apologized for the situation.
"I regret everything that happened that night. I have to live with it every day, and I can't take it back," he said.
Ultimately, Judge Evans went with a recommendation from Mark Hockensmith, an assistant county prosecutor, of three years in prison and a three-year driver's-license suspension. Burke also will have to pay a $1,000 fine.
According to police, Burke hit Culp just west of Zedaker Street and Midlothian Boulevard on the city's South Side on Nov. 29, 2007.
Culp is believed to have been dragged a substantial distance after the impact.
Burke was in the McDonald's drive-through at South Avenue and Midlothian when another motorist told him there was a body under his car, police said.
A witness called 911 and told the police dispatcher there was a body under the car in front of him. By the time police arrived, the car had gone.
Culp was found on the road about two blocks from the McDonald's. Burke surrendered to detectives a few days later.

Corruption and Currency Crises Linked
February 12, 2002
Rampant public corruption in emerging market countries may contribute to the currency crises that have racked the developing world, because corruption acts to repel more stable forms of foreign investment and leaves countries dependent on volatile foreign loans to finance growth.
Researchers Shang-Jin Wei and Yi Wu make the following case:
- The most dependable kind of foreign investors -- those disposed to long-term commitments to projects and businesses -- often refuse to put their money in developing countries where, for example, local bureaucrats expect bribes and the national government arbitrarily preys on business enterprises.
- Those countries still need foreign capital, and while they may be undesirable for foreign direct investment (FDI), they may not be equally disadvantaged when it comes to obtaining bank loans from international creditors.
- One reason loans are easy to procure even when corruption is widespread is that the International Monetary Fund and governments of developed nations offer considerably more insurance and protections to lenders than to direct investors.
- The result is an investment portfolio heavily skewed toward loans, and given how foreign lenders are known to flee at the first sign of trouble -- while those directly invested in an enterprise tend to sit tight --such an imbalance leaves an economy much more vulnerable to a currency crisis.
Wei and Wu argue that, by discouraging stable flows of investment capital, corruption --whose measure they derive from international surveys-- can be viewed as a sort of corporate tax on assets. For example, they conclude that "...an increase in corruption from the level of Singapore to that of Mexico would have the same negative effect on...foreign investment as raising the marginal corporate tax by 50 percentage points."

(B&B) Pension Tupuna: Loretta and Franck welcome you at Pension Tupuna, located in the crater of Bourayne Bay. The pension features 4 real Polynesian bungalows, fully hand-built and comfortabale, nestled in a lush tropical garden composed of thousands of different plants, including over 50 species of fruit trees pollinated tby beehives settled near the property. Enjoy the fresh fruits & vegetables of this real Garden of Eden along the lagoon! No beach but an easy access to the lagoon and kayaks are at disposal to get to a nice beach in about 30 minutes or just paddle in the bay where many sailboats love to anchor during their Huahine stopover. The perfect place for couples or families who are looking for a stay in a peaceful and authentic place.
Raira Lagon, in the atoll's main village called Avatoru, is a peaceful and friendly hotel near the amenities: 10 air-conditioned, light and well-equipped bungalows in a garden filled with coconut trees, hibiscus trees and palm trees. Its terrace bar/restaurant is open to non-patrons and overlooks a pretty little sandy beach, a rare thing to find on the main island. This little well-maintained family-run hotel is so much more than a guest house: it's a safe bet on the atoll.
Tevahine Dream: Ranked guest house No. 1 in Rangiroa on TripAdvisor, the Tevahine Dream welcomes you in its beautifully decorated, clean and original bungalows. Meals are Polynesian and high quality, they are taken together with Norbert and his family on a large table, in a warm atmosphere.

Of local style, simple, clean and colourful, the bungalows well spaced out from each other, with new orthopaedic beds, are set in vast shady grounds overlooking a sandy coral beach and facing the turquoise lagoon. And to enjoy all of this, kayaks and inflatable loungers are at your disposal, while bikes allow you to explore the main island. In the evening, enjoy a hearty local meal, then why not a game of billiards…
Les Relais de Josephine: A superior class pension situated 10km from the main village of Avatoru, Les Relais de Josephine welcomes you to a peaceful and wooded setting, on the banks of Tiputa Pass, the main attraction of the atoll. You can admire the dolphins at play in the currents from the large deck of the pension. Recently renovated, its 7 colonial-style bungalows are comfortable, luminous, equipped with quality furnishings and a modern bathroom. The major asset of this property is undoubtedly its excellent cuisine, recognized throughout the island, to enjoy in the company of other guests or in privacy. A different place, surprising, lulled by the constant undertow of the ocean.

Our Story
Jane Farrell and Annie Hedge set up EW Group (then Equality Works) in 1992. The business came from the idea that organisations would only excel when they fully engaged with diversity, in all its forms, in both their staff and their customers. It's an ethos that has stayed with us to this day.
Jane and Annie were both former teachers. They had a close understanding of how some pupils came from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, some had learning difficulties, some experienced racism on the bus to school, and some were being harassed for being different in some other way.
They wanted to bring an inclusive approach to workforce and leadership development, and how the best organisations demonstrate a professional intent to notice, adapt to and leverage difference at work.
In the early days, Jane and Annie worked out of a spare bedroom. Then they won their first major contract: to run a diversity management programme at the Health Education Authority. The business has since expanded across the public, private and third sectors, nationwide and overseas. One award-winning programme at London Underground saw the team design and deliver training to 2,000 managers. At the time it was the largest diversity mainstreaming project of its kind.
The EW Group Head Office
We decided on a shake-up in our workspace in April 2015, moving from traditional serviced offices in East London to our current co-working space in Kings Cross (managed by The Office Group). The switch brought about a culture change of our own.
Since we joined we've shared the space with other SMEs – a restaurant booking app, a very 21st century postal services company and a recruiter driven by social values. The energy and entrepreneurial spirit in the building just rubs off on everyone. Our workspace reflects our values – it's creative and positive – and happily it's the sort of space that clients and consultants love to visit us in.

This is a continuation-in-part application of application Ser. No. 08/522,568, entitled "Lighting Apparatus and Method" filed on Sep. 1, 1995 by Barry R. Greenwald and Nilesh P. Kacheria, now abandoned.
This invention relates to optical lighting apparatus and method, and more particularly to an improved lighting fixture and method for illuminating a local region with light flux that is laterally emitted from a selected region of the lighting fixture and that is inhibited from lateral emission in other regions of the lighting fixture to produce an appearance of an isolated emitter of light flux that is visually dissociated from a source of light.
Certain known fiber optic lighting techniques rely upon polished and coated optical fibers to assure that light flux supplied to an end of the fiber is transmitted to a distal end of the fiber with minimal loss of light flux due to lateral emission of the light flux at surface anomalies over the length of the fiber between the ends thereof. Optical fibers of this type are commonly described in the literature (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,536,908; 4,569,334; 4,454,568; 4,425,907; 4,025,779; 3,775,606; 3,733,481; and 4,564,261).
Other types of optical fibers are known in which surface anomalies and anomalies within the core of the fiber along the length thereof promote lateral emission of light flux from the surface of the fiber to provide a lineal lighting mechanism for flexible positioning in decorative lighting applications. Optical fibers of this type are described in the literature (see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,763,984; 5,345,531; 5,416,875; 4,128,332; 3,208,174; 4,422,719; 4,466,697; 3,497,981; 3,389,247; 2,173,371; 2,058,900; and 4,637,686). Alternatively, optical fibers of large cross sectional dimension resembling light rods are known to be useful for displacing a light source from the location at which area illumination is desired, and such light rods are also described in the literature (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,813,514).
In accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, an improved lighting fixture is optically coupled to receive light flux directly from a proximate source of light flux, or indirectly via optical fibers from a remote source of light flux. In one embodiment, a light rod is a solid body that includes surfaces that are selectively polished and selectively modified in order to provide area illumination in a decorative manner that emits light flux substantially only from the selectively modified surfaces thereof. In another embodiment, the lighting fixture may include a hollow body with surfaces that are selectively modified in order to provide adequate lateral illumination from light flux supplied to the fixture via optical fibers. Each embodiment of the lighting fixture may be disposed in adverse environments such as in outdoor applications exposed to weather, and adjacent pool or spa locations where proximity to electrical connections should be avoided. The ability of the selectively modified surfaces of the lighting fixture to emit light flux are substantially unaffected by moisture or surface wetness attributable to rain or water splash from proximate water sources.
FIG. 1 is an exploded plan view of the lighting apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded partial sectional view of the lighting apparatus and end cap for mechanically attaching optical fibers to the lighting apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of another embodiment of the present lighting apparatus in which optical fibers are glued in place and the lighting apparatus is press-fitted to a supporting element;
FIG. 4 is a partial view of an elongated body that is illuminated from both ends for horizontally-or vertically-oriented decorative lighting effects;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 6A and 6B are, respectively, a plan view and exploded partial plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 5; and
FIGS. 7A and 7B are, respectively, a sectional view and an exploded partial sectional view of an exterior globe of another configuration for operation in the embodiment of FIG. 5.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown an exploded plan view of an improved lighting apparatus including an elongated solid body 9 of a transparent optical material such as glass or a plastic material of high refractive index such as methyl methacrylate, with an exterior surface 11 in a first or lower region thereof that is smooth and polished to remove substantially all surface anomalies, blemishes, and irregularities, and with a second or upper region thereof 13 that is specifically roughened to promote refraction or selective emission of light flux from the surfaces of the apparatus. The lower end 11 of the apparatus includes a recess 15 that is disposed to receive a plurality of optical fibers 17 therein with ends thereof substantially in contact with the inner end 19 of the recess, and with the optical fibers substantially aligned along the longitudinal axis of the body 9. The optical fibers may be retained in position within the recess 15, preferably with the ends of the fibers in contact with inner end 19 of the recess 15, by a ferrule or end cap 21 of the type shown in sectional view in FIG. 2. The ferrule or end cap 21 thus forms a conventional compressional attachment around the optical fibers 17 in response to tightening of an external gland nut 23. In addition, the ferrule 21 may be screwed into, or otherwise attached to the body 9 as by adhesive, jam-fit, and the like. In this manner, the ferrule 21 attaches to the body 9 and the optical fibers 17 are retained in the ferrule 21 by resilient compression washer 31 for mechanical rigidity and alignment with the longitudinal axis of the body 9. Alternatively, the optical fibers 17 may be adhesively attached within the recess 15 using clear glue or epoxy. A light source 25 of conventional design may be attached to the other ends of optical fibers 17, or may be directly attached to the lower end of the body 9 in order to couple light flux from the light source 25 into the body 9 in conventional manner without intermediate coupling there between provided by optical fibers or light rods. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the body 9 may be directly attached as by jam-fit or adhesive attachment to a hollow stake or pipe 28, with a plurality of optical fibers 17 adhesively attached to the body 9 within recess 15, and extending through the hollow stake 28 and through an aperture 32 in the side of the stake 28 to facilitate both mounting the body 9 and orienting the plurality of optical fibers between the body 9 and a light source 25.
In accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the upper region 13 of the body 9 includes surface anomalies 27 from smooth that are specifically prepared to obviate or mitigate the effect of water or oil, or the like, on the flux-emitting or refracting ability of the surface anomalies. Specifically, the external surface of the upper region 13 of the body 9 is prepared in one embodiment in conventional manner with a medium diamond knurl that penetrates the surface by approximately 0.010" to provide numerous facets among surrounding grooves on the exterior lateral surface from which light flux within the body 9 may refract and be emitted out of the upper surface 13 of the body 9. In another embodiment, the upper surface 13 of the body 9 may be grooved in thread-like spiral manner, or may be grooved with concentric rings where, in each case, the grooves are tapered or v-shaped to a depth of about 0.005" to about 0.100", and with a density of about 8 to 50 grooves per inch of length along the longitudinal axis of the body 9.
Alternatively, the upper surface 13 of the body 9 may be roughened by sand blasting with coarse sand to produce a refracting or diffusing surface having surface anomalies from smooth with average peak-to-valley dimensions not less than about 0.005", and with peak-to-peak average spacings of not less than about 0.005". The upper surface 13 thus prepared in accordance with any of the aforementioned schemes assures that water or oil that might contact and wet the surface by `filling in` or otherwise smoothing out surface anomalies will not significantly diminish the ability of the upper surface 13 to refract or diffuse internal light flux to lateral emission out of the body 9.
The end surface 29 of the body 9 may be polished to inhibit refraction of light flux from within the body 9 through the upper end thereof for applications where it is desirable to have light flux emitted substantially laterally only from the upper surfaces 13 and not from the polished lower surface 11 or from the upper end 29 of the body 9. Alternatively, other end shapes such as cones, hemispheres, pyramids, tapers and truncates, and other cross-sectional shapes of body 9 such as square, cylindrical (as shown), rectangular, cross-like, triangular, conical, pyramidal, and the like, may be used, with refractive or diffusive upper surfaces and ends prepared and oriented as previously described. Other surface treatments may be used to provide numerous surface facets capable of refracting or diffusing light flux from within the body 9 including grinding or casting or cutting grooves or otherwise forming facets among surrounding grooves within selected surfaces 13 of the body 9 to a depth that will not `fill in` and be wetted or smoothed out in contact with water or oil. Alternatively, a laminate or cladding of diffusive or refracting material such as clear glass or plastic substantially spherical beads may be adhered or otherwise assembled on the upper surfaces 13 and end 29 of body 9. In another embodiment, a layer of light-diffusing tape of about 0.001" thickness may be adhesively attached to the body 9 near the upper end thereof, and, of course, materials of various colors may be included in the structure to provide visually-appealing decorative lighting. Optional bands or stripes of opaque or visually contrasting material may be positioned in selected patterns about the diffusive or refractive surface regions of the body 9 to provide visual separations or divisions of segments of the surface from which light flux within the body 9 emanates. The dimensions of beads, or grooves or other anomalies from smooth have been found to be beneficially within the range from about 0.001" to about 0.100", and ideally should be about 0.030" for lighting applications likely to come in contact with water. The upper region 13 of the lateral surfaces of the body 9 may be formed in decorative patterns of rings or columns of alternate smooth and refractive or diffusive surfaces of the type previously described, with contrasting colors as desired, to promote lateral emission of light flux from within the body 9 in selected surface patterns. The body 9 may thus be supported, for example, attached to a stake 28 positioned in the ground, in substantially upright position with the lower end 16 (and attached ferrule 21, if one is used) disposed below the lower surface region 11 buried in the ground for decorative and efficient lighting of the adjacent area.
In each of the embodiments of the invention disclosed herein in which light flux is supplied to the body 9 via optical fibers 17, such fibers may include conventional low-loss, point-to-point transmission type of fibers that provide high-efficiency transmission of light flux from light source 25 to the body 9. As used herein, `upper` and `lower` surfaces of the body 9 are relative to the vertical orientation of body 9, as illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 by way of example only, and should also be considered as describing surface regions of the body 9 that are spaced apart, for example, horizontally or along a bend or a curve of a body thus disposed.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the body 9 may serve as a decorative pillar or post between an upper lintel or cross member 34 and a lower foundation or ground support 36, and be illuminated from both ends in vertical orientation by a light source 25, or light sources 25, 26 that supply light flux either directly to ends of the body, or supply the light flux thereto via a plurality of optical fibers 17. Alternatively, a body 9 may be orientated horizontally, for example, as a segment of hand rail, and be illuminated similarly from both ends. In each such application of double-ended illumination, at least one surface segment 13 along the length of the body 9 includes a refractive or diffusive roughened surface of a type as previously described at a location, or locations, intermediate the illuminated ends.
Referring now to the sectional view of FIG. 5, there is shown another embodiment of the lighting apparatus of the present invention in which the elongated body 39 is substantially hollow above the output ends of the optical fibers 17. The elongated body 39, or globe, may be formed of glass or plastic material having a refractive index higher than air, such as methyl methacrylate, and may include a diffusive surface region 43 near the upper region thereof remote from the ends 41 of optical fibers 17 that are coupled to a light source (not shown) to supply light flux to the globe 39. The globe 39 may include a recess near the proximal end 44 for convenient attachment to the base 45, for example, via adhesive or press-fit or ultrasonic weld attachment, and may include an interior surface that is tapered convergingly with length toward the distal end 46 for convenient molding and withdrawal from a mold. In this embodiment, the diffusive surface region 43 includes ridges that are molded or cut into the material of the globe 39 in the manner, and with dimensions as previously described herein. Alternatively, the exterior surface may incorporate substantially cylindrical or axial ridges 47 that are formed as illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B to promote lateral diffusion of light flux from the globe 39 in response to light flux supplied thereto through the ends 41 of the optical fibers 17.
Alternatively, as illustrated in the sectional view of FIGS. 7A and 7B, the interior surface 48 of the hollow globe 39, for example, near the distal end 46 thereof, may include diffusive surface treatment to enhance lateral emission of light flux supplied thereto through the ends 41 of the optical fibers 17. For example, the interior surface 48 may comprise a plurality of incremental tapers and steps as illustrated to facilitate convenient molding and withdrawal from a mold, and to promote lateral emission of light flux supplied thereto via the ends 41 of the optical fibers 17. Alternatively, grooves or bands of diffusively roughened surface or other diffusive surface treatments may be machined or otherwise formed on the interior surface of the globe following casting to provide similar light diffusive properties. Such bands or grooves on the inside surface may be oriented in alignment or out of alignment with bands or grooves on the outside surface for distinctive aesthetic lighting effects. Optical fibers 17 may be retained within the base 45 via attachment to an outer sleeve or bands of material surrounding the fibers, or using adhesive, or compression fittings, or the like, to retain the ends 41 of the optical fibers 17 at selected location relative to the base 45 and globe 39 attached thereto. In this way, an inexpensive weatherproof lighting fixture that is conducive to electrically safe orientation in and around wet locations such as adjacent swimming pools and spas and lawn or garden areas, may be formed and installed at low cost and with a high degree of immunity to wet and adverse environmental conditions.
Of course, other embodiments illustrated and described herein using solid bodies may also be formed according to this embodiment with hollow bodies and exterior or interior, or both, diffusive surface regions 53 for efficient lateral emission of light flux supplied thereto. Additionally, the remote end 51 of the globe 39 may be formed as a separate component for press fit or adhesive attachment to the cylindrical portion of the globe 39, and such remote end 51 may also incorporate exterior or interior, or both, diffusive surface regions of a type similar to the diffusive surface regions described and illustrated herein. Also, an additional base 45 for supporting optical fibers 17 therein may be attached to a globe 39 in place of a remote end 51 to provide light flux to the globe from both ends thereof. And, one or more of the globe 39, remote end 51, and base 45 may be conveniently molded in longitudinally or axially-parted segments for assembly using adhesive, ultrasonic bonding, snap-fittings, and the like, to provide the general configuration of lighting fixtures as described and illustrated herein.

Photo by Gr BehanIn a cramped photography studio in Newport Beach, and in the smaller office attached to it and the hall outside that, hang dozens of soft black-and-white portraits. Some are of infants, but most of the portraits feature women. Some of the women in the portraits are wearing delicate tops and flowing skirts. Others are wearing just a skirt or are completely nude, and all of the women are pregnant.
Gr Behan shot the portraits. She has been making a living taking these photographs for the past five and a half years.
"I tell women that pregnancy is such an important time in your life," said Behan, a soft-spoken young mother of two. "I mean, you take pictures of your wedding or graduation, why not this? You can never do this again. This isn't like a wedding that can be shot again. Each pregnancy shapes a woman differently. You cannot re-create a pregnancy."
Behan has considerable photographic experience, which began at age 17 when she joined the National Guard. There she went to journalism school and learned photography. In 1991, as part of Operation Desert Storm, Behan deployed to Turkey, where she worked as a media escort, taking reporters into Kurdish refugee camps in northern Iraq.
But it was a college journalism class assignment she did on her own pregnancy that gave her the idea for her current portraits.
"When I was pregnant, I walked around in a little half-shirt, exposing my belly," she recalled. "People would look at me as if to ask what I was thinking. There's a lot of sexuality in our society, but that kind of thing is so overt. It can still be a shock, and many people still don't get it."
Some of those people are the pregnant women themselves who want to document their pregnancy but are afraid to expose their bellies.
"I pamper the women and compliment them constantly," said Behan. "A lot of the women are nervous. They feel fat, so I try to treat them special. I try to make them feel comfortable about their bodies and about themselves."
And she seems to be successful. Belinda Kiesecker, a Newport Beach resident and former nursing-home consultant, gushed about Behan's work.
"I got the portraits probably more for my son's sake," said Kiesecker. "I didn't feel like a beautiful pregnant woman. Gr makes pregnant women look beautiful even if they can't stand up by themselves."
That negativity—the inability to see themselves as beautiful—sometimes seems to be a common trait among women in Southern California, even ones who aren't pregnant. "I used to live in northern California, and up there, I think people aren't so body-conscious," Behan said. "When I moved here, women would tell me the portraits looked fine, but they looked like crap. Which was bad because my job is to make them look beautiful.
"Even the women who are in phenomenal shape still have trouble accepting their bodies," Behan said. "When you're pregnant, you feel like a beached whale. You get double chins, big arms and big thighs. You shouldn't try to hide it. But a lot of women, especially in Southern California, think they're still supposed to be a size five."
When doing research for her business, Behan pored over magazines on mothering and pregnancy and was astonished to find plenty of illustrations of pregnant women accompanying the articles, but precious few photos. Those pictures that did appear were of models dressed up to look pregnant.
When she started documenting pregnancies, Behan said, she was the sole photographer doing it. Today, there are perhaps five such studios in the Los Angeles area. Her photos are not yet mainstream, but clearly they are catching on.

"Demi Moore posed on the cover of Vanity Fair 10, 12 years ago," said Behan. "It was scandalous, but not really anymore. I didn't hear anyone making a big deal when Cindy Crawford posed a couple of years ago when she was pregnant."
After initial advertising, business snowballed. At baby expos and shows, Behan said, she repeatedly ran into grandmothers who wished she had been around in their day. Today she does about five portraits a week.
"In the studio, I only do black-and-white photography," Behan said. "It's more classic. Even the tint of color in blouses can date a portrait. So I take all the color out. After all, what you're supposed to be looking at is her body."
You can reach Gr Behan at (949) 289-5611.

Song - Poem by Celia Thaxter
WE sail toward evening's lonely star
That trembles in the tender blue;
One single cloud, a dusky bar,
Burnt with dull carmine through and through,
Slow smouldering in the summer sky,
Lies low along the fading west.
How sweet to watch its splendors die,
Wave-cradled thus and wind-caressed!
The soft breeze freshens, leaps the spray
To kiss our cheeks, with sudden cheer;
Upon the dark edge of the bay
Lighthouses kindle, far and near,
And through the warm deeps of the sky
Steal faint star-clusters, while we rest
In deep refreshment, thou and I,
Wave-cradled thus and wind-caressed.
How like a dream are earth and heaven,
Star-beam and darkness, sky and sea;
Thy face, pale in the shadowy even,
Thy quiet eyes that gaze on me!
O realize the moment's charm,
Thou dearest! we are at life's best,
Folded in God's encircling arm,
Wave-cradled thus and wind-caressed.

Excuses. My guess is that if you are from the South (or perhaps anywhere in the
), you know the ole' expression
"Excuses are like butts. Everybody's got one and they stink." You know, I never
really liked that expression. For one, it is not entirely accurate in its
claims. Let's say for instance, if you just took a bath, my guess is that your
butt doesn't stink. It probably smells quite lovely…especially if you used some
of that fru-fru bath gel from United
and Body Works. And secondly, most of my excuses do not stink. If excuses were
a scent, mine would smell like the aroma of fresh pine of a cool spring day. Bath
Okay, well, not really.
I have to be honest here. Have you ever walked through the cosmetics department during the holidays? Whoa! I bet your little nostrils, like mine, were working major overtime. It is just too much. a spritz of this cologne here, a whoof there. By the time I walk out of Dillard's during the peak of holiday shopping season, I have a smell-induced migraine. I think that is probably what my excuses smell like. One or two is okay, but a whole host of excuses just smell like…too much of the same thing.
There have been times in my life where I am filled to the brim with loads of excuses. Especially when it comes to weight loss. Perhaps these sound all too familiar…
I don't have time to work out.
It's summer. It's too hot to work out.
It's winter. It's too cold to work out.
It's spring. My allergies bother me too much to work out.
It's fall. The kids have too much going on right now.
I'll wait till summer gets here. I'll have more time.
I'll wait till school starts in the fall. I can be on more of a schedule then.
The gym costs too much.
There's nothing but skinny bitches at the gym.
It's raining outside.
It's not raining outside and I want to enjoy this beautiful day not working out.
Eating healthy costs too much. I can get a McDouble for only $1!
I don't have time to plan my meals and cook healthy.
I'm just big-boned. (This is my favorite)
I don't like health food.
You only live once. I don't wanna deprive myself.
I'm just not a runner.
I'm just gonna try some diet pills…or Sensa! Yeah, Sensa! All you do is sprinkle that on your food and bam! Instant weight loss.
I can't get up at 5 a.m. and work out. I would be miserable.
I can't work out when I get home from working all day. I'm too tired.
And those are just a few…
Wow. With these thoughts, it's no wonder I let my 5'2" frame get to 205 pounds. I wanted all the benefits of being fit and healthy but wanted no part of the sacrifices it took to get there. My mindset was a spoiled little brat. I wanted it my way and made my own demands. The thing about that is, my body didn't respond to my brattiness. My body, in a sense, just looked at me all stupid, crossed its arms and was like "Mmmhmmm. No she didn't!" That's why it took me so long to lose even the smallest bit of weight. I wanted to be lazy, eat whatever I wanted - all the while expecting the pounds to just melt away. (I sorta still hope for that, even though it's highly delusional. Or at least I want to half-ass it some days.) But the truth is, that's insane. Literally, I heard once that is the definition of insanity…doing the same thing but expecting different results. Except now I hear that insanity is a new workout DVD so I guess the joke is on me.
The point is this: we all have reasonable excuses. In the summer, it is hot. It is more expensive to eat healthy. It does take time to work-out and cook healthy. And there are and will always be skinny bitches at the gym who intimidate the hell out of me in their spandex. But my excuses do not get me any closer to my goal. So, what I have to do is find a way around my excuses. I'm not saying excuses aren't valid. But in reality, at least for me, the more correct definition of my excuses would actually be inconveniences and a sense of discomfort. It is uncomfortable for me to workout when it's hot. But I can do it. It is inconvenient for me to get up at 5 a.m. to workout. But I can do it. It is (highly) uncomfortable for me to wear my extra large ugly t-shirt at the gym while I huff and puff from walking on the treadmill and watch Barbie in her hot pink spandex run 10 miles without breaking a sweat. But I can (arggg!) do it.
So, I guess I'll go press play on my workout DVD now. Because Barbie isn't here. It's not hot. And I have the time.

Phylia de M.: Week 10 – 13
Hello beauties!
This update is a very quick update, since (insert drum-roll here) I just placed my second order for the Phylia de M. 3 Step Kit!
It has lasted me 3 entire months (all but the Connect), which is pretty decent in my opinion! And that includes sharing the products with my sister (until I basically confiscated them all completely).
I have noticed lots of new growth, though I can't say for sure exactly how quickly it has made my hair grow, simply due to the fact that my hair is already pretty long
and I haven't been doing a good job at keeping track of the length.
Now for the main point of this update!
Phylia de M. has this lovely video, where it really gives you a good visualization on how you can apply, and use the products effectively. I highly recommend that you watch it, especially if you are new to (or curious about) Phylia de M.'s line of products!
And for the record, I can't believe I neglected to mention how incredible spraying your hair down in Connect, and then applying Condition directly over it will make your hair feel! I did this daily (when I still had Connect left), and it kept my dry ringlet curls super lush, and soft!
I will have to start taking before and after photos of my hair, because literally – the product effectiveness provides visible transformation.
I also highly recommend that you follow @PhyliaHair on Twitter, to keep up to date on all of the happenings at Phylia de M. HQ!

This year I tried to be a little more cohesive in my plan and as always, it started with the window box. This looks positively pathetic right now but I have hopes that it will fill in nicely without getting totally overgrown and blocking the entire view out the kitchen window.
I used a palette that was at least partly dictated by the 'Autumn Sunset' climbing rose that grows on the trellis on the front of the house. Its flowers vary from yellow to apricot to peach and I wanted something that complimented that. My first thought it always blues, which is by far the color I turn to most often in the garden. I used a coral flower for the center, blue petunias, a bit of lime green and even some pink.
Here's what's planted in it (some affiliate links used):
Verbena bonariensis 'Meteor Shower'
Coleus 'Lemon Twist' (currently very small and not even really visible)
Superbells 'Coralina'
Surfina 'Heavenly Blue'
Oranmental Oregano 'Kent Beauty'
Helichrysum petiolare 'Lemon Licorice'
Eupatorium capillifolium 'Elegant Feather'
Superbells 'Tropical Sunrise' (A trial plant from Proven Winners available next year)
Surfina 'Heavenly Blue'
Ipomonea 'Sweet Caroline Raven'
Eupatorium capillifolium 'Elegant Feather'
Superbells 'Coralina'
Lobelia 'Laguna Sky Blue'
Pelargonium 'Vancouver Centennial'
Oxalis 'Molten Lava'
The clematis are a bit of an experiment, as this west-facing wall gets a lot of bright light but almost no direct sun. Both of the clematis—'Perle d'Azur' and 'Alba Luxurians'—are supposed to be able to tolerate a bit of shade, but I am always wary of those reports. I had hoped to have Mr. Much More Patient build a trellis for the wall to help the clematis make the leap to the pergola, but that's on hold until later in summer when everyone has more time. For now, a couple of bamboo poles will suffice. Both of these clematis are group 3, meaning they can be cut back in late winter/early spring, which will help keep the pergola (should they ever reach it) looking tidy.
In a rather remarkable show of restraint (I have a bad habit of putting too much in a container), I keep the color palette very simple, just using white impatiens, variegated ivy and Plectranthus argentatus. Maybe there's something to this whole "keep it simple" strategy as I'm loving how this container is looking.
Clematis 'Perle d'Azur
Clematis 'Alba Luxurians'
Plectranthus argentatus
Impatiens New Guinea 'Infinity White'
Variegated English ivy
|We haven't mowed the lawn in almost two weeks because, well, life. Fortunately we have patient neighbors who haven't asked what we're up to.
Pink mandevilla vine (I don't remember exactly which one)
Euphorbia 'Diamond Delight'
Creeping Jenny
Superbells 'Hollywood Star'
Zinnia grown from seed that I lost the tag on
I took the cues for the larger planters from those geraniums and put in 'Fireworks' grass, purple sweet potato vine, Euphorbia and a red calibrachoa.
Pennisetum 'Fireworks'
Euphorbia 'Diamond Delight'
Superbells 'Pomegranate Punch'
P.S. Thank you all for your kind words and understanding about the loss of our dog Rita. It's very comforting and I'm happy we live in a world where so many other people understand the sadness of losing a beloved pet.

In 2016, a group of European financial institutions – BNP Paribas Securities Services, Caisse des Dépôts, Euroclear, Euronext, S2iEM, Société Générale and Paris EUROPLACE – unveiled working on a post-trade services project based on blockchain, with the stated goal of "focusing on new solutions that will give small and mid-sized companies...easier access to the financing they need".
CACEIS, the division of Crédit Agricole that focuses on asset servicing, has signed an investment agreement with the group to help clear the way for French municipal bonds to be issued digitally via blockchain. The company's work is not its first project related to the technology. In March 2017, CACEIS collaborated with bitcoin exchange Bitstamp to let investment funds accept Bitcoin, according to CoinDesk.

As soon as I spotted "canyoning" in Ocean Village's shore excursion booklet, I knew that my fate for our day in Villefranche was sealed. I tried to tempt my daughter Ilana with another almost-as-exciting option, but I knew I was wasting my breath.
So here I was, one of the eldest among a group of about 12 mad Britons, about to while away the next couple of hours scrambling over rocks and boulders in a river, in water that registered a very chilly 15C.
Because this was France, there was no ceremony. Our changing room - " wetsuits are a must, not just because of the cold but for protection against the rocks" - was a canvas sheet spread on the ground of a lay-by beside the narrow winding road we had followed from Nice.
The loo was far down a path - to get away from the others - and the way down to the river was a slip-sliding track with gravel and rocks to hinder our passage. By the time I reached the bottom I reckoned I could survive anything.
But then I was in that water: a wetsuit might protect the body, but it does not cover the hands. And then followed that awful moment when we were told to dip down so the water would seep in through the neck. I was just starting to wonder what the first signs of hypothermia were when we were off.
Hurdle one was a rock slide: "Lie on your back," was the typically detailed French instruction.
Ilana, in her element, was first in the queue and stayed that way most of the trip, which involved more slides, scrambling over boulders and leaping from rocks - one was 20 feet high - into pools (luckily there was a wimps' way down for people like me).
Toughest of all was either a 13-foot jump or a head-first slide so vertical they held your legs to get you in position and then let go. Yes it was scary, but yes, I did give it a go once I realised they weren't joking.
This has to be one of the most extreme shore excursions offered by cruise lines, which normally specialise in the sedate-to-the-point-of-tedious when it comes to days out. But we were cruising with Ocean Village, which prides itself on offering something a bit different from the cruising norm.
I had brought Ilana, 13, on the cruise, from Palma to Palma by way of Tunis, Naples, Livorno, Villefranche and Corsica, partly because we had been on Ocean Village - the name of its ship as well as the cruise line - three years previously and she had had a fabulous time in the club.
Mainly, though, I wanted to check out Ocean Village Two, which the cruise line took over from its sister company Aida Cruises in April last year.
This time, however, despite my urging her to go to the children's club to make some friends, she was having none of it, preferring to spend her days ashore with me or watching a film in the cabin.
There were a lot of children on board, but most were quite a bit younger and were kept occupied with the usual round of face-painting, scavenge hunts and discos.
Her reluctance to join them rather suited me, as it meant I was not alone in making a fool of myself at the juggling class - actually, no one else had any co-ordination whatsoever - and when we had a go on the trapeze, both slightly offbeat activities that are the cruising norm with this line.
It also meant I had a companion for an afternoon in the Karma spa, which I count as one of the highlights of Ocean Village Two.
Below the usual treatment rooms is an excellent thermal suite comprising a sauna with a seaview - which makes the job of sweating a little more interesting - a hot steam room, a warm hammam and the "womb room", a dimly lit padded cell, with four egg-shaped chairs, in which you can meditate.
There is also a relaxation room, where you can snuggle up in a blanket and sit and watch the sea go by. It costs £10 for a day pass, £35 for a week - pretty good value when Ilana and I had the area almost entirely to ourselves.
It was certainly a welcome antidote to the deck area, where fellow passengers were packed cheek by jowl from morning to night.
The only time I managed to grab a sunlounger was on the last day, when half the passengers had left to fly home. The overcrowding is all to do with the strange design of the ship, which has a large domed front where other vessels have places to sit.
The lack of deck space was a constantly heard complaint, along with the lack of free-flowing iced water. There are water machines in the self-service restaurants, but no ice and, judging by the size of the glasses, they don't want you to over indulge.
Strangely, several people were also critical about the way the self-service areas are divided into "stations" - each serving different types of food - rather than requiring everyone to queue past the fruit, bread, salads, chips, pastas and desserts. Frankly, I am still struggling to understand that gripe.
Happily, the lack of deck space wasn't too much of a problem for Ilana and me as we had our fill of the sun ashore. We had a frenzied morning zipwiring in Ajaccio, where again, in typical French style, we were given a quick lesson and then let loose, alone, walking over wires, clambering across nets, climbing between swaying drums or sliding between trees. Needless to say, Ilana was on the difficult course while I was still plucking up courage to try the intermediate.
In Naples, we hiked up Mount Vesuvius - which sounds energetic, but you actually walk only the last 30 minutes to the top; Livorno brought a hurried dash to Florence and Pisa; and Tunis involved a very poor visit to the souk, where we were almost left behind.
Back on board the ship each day, Ilana cooled off with a film in the cabin - a roomy affair with a balcony and lovely big shower - while I went to the Club Lounge, another of the ship's top features.
Available for passengers in the superior suites on deck 11, the lounge costs an extra £70 per adult (children can accompany their parents free of charge).
For that, you get a quiet place for a light breakfast, British newspapers when they are available, free water and soft drinks - and as much alcohol as you can drink between 5pm and 7pm, served by Shaun and Joan, who did a top job getting to know us all.
Ilana liked the lounge because it made her feel grown-up; I liked it because it was a great place to meet people and chat over what we had been doing each day.
As the emphasis on Ocean Village is casual, dining is all about buffets, even for dinner. It is food to eat, rather than to die for, and it does get a little monotonous searching for a place to sit.
So, one evening we ate out at La Luna, where £4.75 buys superior fare and waiter service - and twice treated ourselves to the Bistro, the restaurant created for Ocean Village by the chef James Martin. The extra £15 is worth it not just for the good food and service but because it's a small restaurant away from the crowd.
Evening entertainment is another thing that Ocean Village reckons it does differently. Ilana was particularly looking forward to the show Fever after I was warned it might not be suitable for her young eyes, but judged it rather tame.
Planet, an aerobics show on the top deck, was good if a little long - there are only so many times you can be impressed by bendy people wrapping themselves in tapes - but the magician, Manual Martinez, was great fun.
After he had performed just one trick he admitted that he was the "magician for people who don't do magic" - a reference to Ocean Village's slogan, "the cruise line for people who don't do cruises" - and, sure enough, by the end he had done just two tricks but had held his audience spellbound for an hour.
What it costs
A seven-night Villas and Vino cruise from Palma on Ocean Village Two, with calls at Tunis, Naples, Livorno, St Raphael and Ajaccio in Corsica, costs from £599 per person in May, including flight and transfers. Ocean Village Holidays: 0845 358 5000, www.oceanvillageholidays.co.uk.

Brand Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
My first guide on Mobafire. I have been playing Brand for a while now and am loving his power. I normally play him at Mid in games, and most of the times manage to zone out my counterpart. Brand has a great spell combination, and I have killed full health squishies in seconds. This is why I love Brand; he has nice health for a caster, and after the first few levels you don't have to worry about mana. If you play Brand well he can be a very annoying harasser; often I deal multiple times more damage than I take in a game.
Of course, we are building an AP Brand, and so AP runes are the most needed.
The Quintessences of Potency mean you probably have an AP advantage over your enemy from the start, and you should be able to deal good damage from the start, especially thanks to Brand's W skill which is AoE; often I hit the enemy multiple times with that before they hit me.
The Marks of Insight further add to your damage as they negate some of the enemies magic resist, which is always great as an AP caster.
Glyphs of Force enable you to have a little bit more AP at the start and as your level increases they have more impact, meaning you become an even more destructive force later in game.
Of course, most of these tend to be the generic AP Caster, and especially, Brand, masteries. Not much else to say about them other than they help your damage, cooldowns, and mana.
Of course items are very situational, but the item build I have up is my common Brand build which works well no matter what (unless one is being owned, where you might want to go for more defensive items).
As a solo-er boots and pots are the way to go. If you're not soloing, then go for Doran's Ring. If you've had to recall early and have enough money for it, you could get Doran's Ring to even out the playing field if your enemy is doing well.
Shoes are of course situational, though Sorcerers shoes are the common way to go for Brand; I'm looking for damage! Ionian boots are also another possiblity; Brand's combo is deadly and you may want the cooldown to make you even more deadly, especially considering thanks to the Rod that you won't have to worry about mana unless you're in the field for a loong time.
Rod of ages is my first legendary item; it helps you with AP, Mana, and Health, as well as the Catalyst helping you sustain as you level early game. You may want to start building this before you buy sorcerers shoes, depending how much gold you have when you recall; I often go for Catalyst if I have enough on my first recall. The Rod also becomes more powerful with time, therefore making you a force to be reckoned with quite quickly.
Rylai's helps your health a lot, and also gives a nice AP boost. Furthermore the slow from spells helps you to damage your enemy more, increasing the chance that you kill them.
Rabadon's is next, with its amazing AP giving. This will greatly increase the damage from your skills and, if they aren't afraid of you already, the enemy will be very afraid of being hit by your combo.
Void Staff is great, again for the AP and also for the magic penetration, enabling you to do a lot more damage to the enemy.
Abyssal Sceptre is also another great item; AP, magic resistance (much needed if you're fighting an AP team, you may want to get this item earlier), and also reducing the enemy's magic resistance allowing you to do even more damage.
Skill Sequence
Oh how I love Brand's skills.
W skill goes first, for the harassing power and also the mass minion killing/damage it does.
Then get Q, don't spam it on minions at the start; it is for stunning the enemy when your passive is on the enemy, enabling you to completely rape them.
E comes next, which is great for minion farming (W+E = all magic minions gone, at around level 6+)
Then Brand's ultimate, R, oh how good it is. It can harass the enemy if you don't think you'll be needing it soon (as with Rod of Ages you don't have to worry about running out of mana). Furthermore in team fights it can seriously change the course of battle as it will travel from enemy to enemy multiple times. The best situation, I find, is being against multiple enemies with no other enemies, minions or monsters, around; if they are close to each other your ultimate will travel between both a few times, and deal loooads of damage.
The way you combo is: E, Q, W. E will damage and put your passive on the enemy, allowing your Q (skill shot btw) to stun, then you do your AoE right on them as they're stunned. This will deal loads of damage thanks to AP items, and is the main way to kill enemy champions.
Summoner Spells
Fairly standard here; I always go for Flash for the catch up/escape ability.
Ignite is great for anyone and could mean the killing of an enemy.
Exhaust is also another option, though your fairly long cooldowns make it kind of pointless if you're attacking an enemy alone
To conclude, Brand is a fun character to play and can deal loads of damage and also have pretty good health, making him a great solo laner. Pyromaniacs, don't bother with anyone else.

After reading three weeks of threads, I just purchased a 15 lb top round roast that I'm preparing. Since I haven't done one of this size before, nor ever tried a dry brine, I was wondering if anyone could take a look at my plans and give me some opinions.
Day 1 - Dry brine with 1/2 to 3/4 cups of Kosher salt. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 3 days.
Day 4 - Remove, rinse and pat dry. Leave out for 3 hours to warm to room temperature.
Season with Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and rosemary.
Roast on a rack at 225 degrees until internal temperature reaches 118 to 120 degrees. Remove and let sit for 2 hours.
Coat the exterior with olive oil and sear under the broiler.
I would be happy to get any advice to method, times or temperatures as this is my first attempt this way. Will be sure to share photos and a review after it's done!
