To go with the beef and sauerkraut pizza from last week, we made a slightly lighter veggie pizza to balance things out. It started with a pesto base and was topped with fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, feta, and a mozzarella/provolone mix. The sauerkraut 'za stole the show that evening, but on any other night this pizza would have been the winner.
Pizza dough + pesto + spinach + artichoke hearts + sun-dried tomatoes + feta + mozzarella + provolone. Bake at 450 for 20-ish minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is crispy.

NewsUPDATE: Im vindicated, says Warmington2013-01-29 17:40:41 | (0 Comments) South West St Catherine MP Everald Warmington - File According to Warmington, he is a living example of persons whose reputation has been damaged by the actions of the Office of the Contractor General. In September 2011, the Office of the Contractor General (OCG)accused Warmington of committing an offence under the Perjury Act. But in a media release this afternoon, the DPP said there is insufficient evidentiary material at this time to institute criminal proceedings against Warmington, a former director of Strathairn Construction Company Limited. The OCG had referred Warmington to the DPP following an investigation into allegations of impropriety and/or irregularity in the award of certain contracts to Strathairn by the St Catherine Parish Council, the National Works Agency and the Ministry of Transport and Works. This afternoon, the DPP also said no charges would be be laid against former directors Lloyd Grant and Howard Charvis for the offences of perjury and breach of section 29 of the Contractor Generals Act. Company directors Howard Charvis, Selvyn Foster, Leslie Henry and Nicole Warmington will not be charged either. "Barring any new material coming forward we do not see where any useful purpose will be gained by directing the police to investigate this matter, Llewellyn said.

WarCraft fanboy alert: Your secret dream of becoming an Orc is now ever-closer to fruition. Since announcing its massively multiplayer RPG, World of WarCraft, more than a year ago, Blizzard Entertainment has been very quiet about the detailspartially to keep all of its competitors at baybut now it's finally starting to spill the goods. Here's a quick update, including the first info on a previously unannounced character class, the warlock.
Blizzard has announced four playable races so farHumans, Orcs, Taurens, and Dwarveswith at least one more coming soon. Our money is on either the Undead or Night Elves. Along with the warlock (more on that in a minute), you'll be able to play as a warrior, mage, and shaman. However, as in all MMORPGs, not all classes will be available to all races.
Right now, Blizzard is working on the class kits, ensuring that each is unique while remaining distinctly WarCraft in feel. Warriors, for example, will have their standard melee combat skills enhanced with special abilities like Battle Shouts to either enhance your stats or lower those of your enemies. They will also have unique weapon abilities depending on the weapon wielded. Try using Stun or Crippling Blow, as well as a variety of stances that will modify your stats during combat. Assume an aggressive posture, for example, and you'll dish out more damage, but you'll also be more susceptible to getting hit. Finally, warriors will be able to perform specific WarCraft III hero abilities, such as the Orc blademaster's Bladestorm, a whirlwind attack with brutal area-effect damage.
Mages are offensive, multipurpose magic users with an emphasis on fire and frost magic. They'll mete out more damage than any other class, but will be very weak in melee situations, wearing only cloth armor. Some of the cooler spells include Invisibility (the only class for which this is planned), and crowd-control spells such as Freeze, which briefly stuns enemies, and Chain of Ice, which roots monsters in place. The mage will also be able to summon a variety of elementals as pets, which won't be directly controllable by the player, but will act as guardians to the mage and his allies.
The shaman, another magic user, has both offensive spells and healing and buffing abilities. Along with brutal combat spellslike Molten Blast, Lightning Bolt, and Chain Lightningthe shaman can summon spiritual guardians and enhance allies with strength and stamina buffs. Shamans are less frail than mages since they can wear leather armor and wield a mace, thus mixing up melee combat with spellcasting.
The just-announced warlock is a fire and shadow magic caster who can cast direct-damage spells, like Firebolt and Death Coil, as well as spells that cause damage over time, like Immolate and Corruption, which drain hit points continually. Most important, the warlock is an expert in demonic magic who, as he/she levels up, will accumulate a suite of demonsincluding (in increasing order of strength) imps, fel hounds, succubi, and void walkersthat can be summoned as pets. Unlike other summoning classes, however, the warlock develops a specific relationship with his pets. The imp he summons will be the same imp with the same name every time. (A demon that dies in combat will revert to the demonic plane and recharge over time.) Unlike mage pets, you can command demons directlythey'll have their own interface so you can use them to attack specific targets or use specific abilities. Finally, warlocks can create a powerful item called a Soul Stone that will instantly revive anyone who is carrying it upon death.
Blizzard has also begun leaking information about skills, which will play a huge role in World of WarCraft. All classes and races will have both core and secondary skills players can develop. Core skills, such as Weapon Use for warriors, will increase automatically as you use them and level up. Secondary skills are optional skills that you spend points on to improve. As in Diablo II, there are more skills than you'll have points to buy, so every player will choose the skills they prefer, allowing for tons of customization amongst players of similar classes. For example, one warrior might choose to master Lockpicking and Horse Riding, while another might specialize in First Aid and Languages. Both will be good warriors because of the core skills, but beyond that, they'll be totally different. (You can also abandon skills and respend laterbut it will be at a cost.)
Blizzard is also working on an elaborate trade-skill system in which players can specialize, for example, in Herbalism, which involves collecting herbs littered throughout the world in order to make magic potions and elixirs (for health, strength, agility, and so on). You'll level up your trade skills by using them, finding trainers, or completing questsoffering a huge optional metagame for those not as interested in bashing monsters. At mid to high levels, players will need to work together for certain trade skills. To create a flaming sword, for example, an alchemist will need to make a potion of flame oil, while a blacksmith will have to forge a particular sword, after which the two can be combined.
This is just the beginning. Blizzard, normally reticent with info, gave us more than we could possibly print here. Is the company excited, or maybe just nervous about venturing into a genre that's produced more failures than hits? World of WarCraft is a huge risk, but if there's one thing we know about Blizzard, it never does anything half-baked. Watch for a bigger feature on this huge game soon in CGW.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas' sole Democratic congressman joined Republicans in voting to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress over a botched gun-tracking operation.
U.S. Rep. Mike Ross said he voted for the resolution because he believed more answers were needed regarding the operation known as Fast and Furious. Thursday's vote was the first time a sitting Cabinet member has been held in contempt.
Republicans pushed through the resolution because Holder did not turn over documents related to the operation.
Republican Congressmen Rick Crawford, Tim Griffin and Steve Womack of Arkansas also supported the contempt resolution.
Ross is a Democrat who represents south Arkansas, and announced last year that he would not run for re-election this year. He was among 17 Democrats who voted in favor of contempt.

ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not panicking, but the department needs to take a closer look at their system.

We Smell Emmys All Around
The things you'll do for a paycheck.
There was much frantic discussion at T Lo International Headquarters both last night and this morning, the upshot of which was "Um…what the hell are we going to write about?"
In an episode where the height of drama was Carol Hannah puking in a hotel room, what the hell are we going to say about it? But for you kittens, we'll soldier on.
We found ourselves wishing they'd spent more time on the cat.
Blahblahblah…Tim critique. Who guessed the collections correctly? We did!
Boy, Carol Hannah does have a tendency to go a little far, doesn't she?
Tim, you couldn't take your jacket off?
A note to any potential season 7 finalists who are reading this: when Tim visits, make him do housework. Apparently, he's open to it. We look forward to future scenes of Tim vacuuming and folding laundry.
Hey…y'know? There might be a series in that. We're on the phone with Lifetime just as soon as we're done writing this. Instead of prissy gay men coming into your home to redecorate or re-dress you, they'll just come in and quietly do your housework. The gays won't watch it, but we bet a lot of women would.
This is to remind her of her name when she wakes up every morning.
Ahhh, Tim back in his element.
We actually kind of loved the t-shirt idea.
And is it us or is it a little disconcerting that all the women in the Shabayeva family look EXACTLY alike?
Later, Tim goes to rescue a young senator's daughter who has been kidnapped and forced to live in a hole in a basement, where she rubs the lotion on her skin.
Oooh! Another brainstorm! A TV show about prissy gay men who hunt down serial killers! As soon as we're done writing, we're calling the FOX network.
Because what television genre wouldn't be improved by the addition of prissy gay men?
It looked like Althea needed the most hand-holding out of the three of them because none of the pieces she showed Tim impressed him (or us) all that much.
Anyway, it's Fashion Week!
And what happens when you put two competitive girls in a room together?
Absolutely NOTHING! Not once did either of them say what they were thinking. BORING!
Carol Hannah's illness would have been a lot more dramatic if she came in and threw up all over her competitors' collections. It was the only time we were a little on the edge of our seats, hoping it would happen.
Again, this scene would have been improved if CH just spewed all over the table, Exorcist-style.
…Or all over Nina and Michael…
And ESPECIALLY all over Heidi's sparkly top and shit-eating grin. We were REALLY hoping to see that.
This concludes our commentary on the penultimate episode.

Perhaps the worst thing that might have happened to you would be to have been
born with the proverbial silver spoon in your mouth. For had you been born into
privilege, you would have been deprived of one of the world`s greatest gifts:
the opportunity to reach the highest levels of success of which you are capable,
solely on the basis of your own merit. If you were born with less than most,
don`t resent others who seem to have more advantages. In truth, the real
advantage is yours, for you will develop the self-confidence that comes only
from meeting life`s challenges on your own terms. As you progress, you gain the
strength and knowledge necessary to assure your enduring success, things that
cannot be given to you, but must be earned.

I've been in a relationship for 3 months with someone who is an illegal immigrant. She has told me that she has a chance of staying but I cannot see how unless she gets pregnant but then we won't be able to live together or she will be deported as I would be deemed able to look after the child. The latest I have been told by her is that she sought legal advice and she said I have to sign a form stating I'm her partner and this will prevent her from being arrested and detained on the spot. Does this sound like correct advice?? Sorry if this seems a little vague but i've never found myself in this situation before. I have an Irish passport and living in the UK.
Thanks in advance!

This is such a great way to use up venison. Very tasty & easy to make. I used 1 lb ground venison, eliminated the frozen veggies & added an extra potato & 3 sliced carrots. In place of one of the cans of diced tomatoes, I used diced tomatoes with jalapenos to give it a kick. Very happy with the results & will be making again!

I used ground venison and also added a bag of coleslaw. Delish!!!
Reviewed on Sep. 29, 2012 by julieolson
My family LOVED this soup! I did a few things different though. I put this in my slow cooker. Since we can some of our venison, I used that and I also put the tomatoes and onion in the blender then added it to my crockpot. I have one picky eater, so this way I get the flavor of the onion without him picking them out!

A petition calling for the company to release anti-glare screens has been running for four years – garnering more than 1,400 responses - and complaints have risen since the new range was launched this week.
The majority of responses on the MacMatte petition came from existing Apple owners, who said they would not upgrade until there was a matte screen available, and were being forced to switch to Windows PCs.
"My old iMac won't cut it any more, so I have to supplement it with a Windows PC here at home," wrote Preston. "I want a new iMac as bad as anything, but I will not buy a glossy screen."
Posters complained of getting headaches from the glossy screens, and said the reflections were a distraction – and the call came loudest from professionals that have long used iMacs for design and graphics work.
"Why is it the new iMacs still don't have an option for anti-glare," posted Johanness. "Does Apple not realise that there are power graphic users who require this? And that this is the sole thing holding them back from buying this product? Apple – get with the program, or have you so lost touch with the people who have been your greatest ad campaign over the years?"
There are add-ons on the market that remove the reflections, but consumers resent paying extra and say they also change the overall performance of the screens.
"The after-market solutions suck, and change the actual colour in the process," said Johanness. That is unacceptable when you are doing pixel by pixel photo editing."
Fuzzy feedback
The lack of attention to customer feedback shown in the forum flies in the face of Apple's recently stated intention to listen to customers.
The company recently announced an Apple Consumer Pulse programme that it said would make it easier to satisfy the needs of its customers. "We love feedback," the homepage for the initiative says.
"Apple Customer Pulse is an online community of Apple product users who provide input on a variety of subjects and issues concerning Apple."
Not so, says the organiser of the MacMatte petition, claiming: "It contains currently 1,424 customer comments on an issue that Apple has not listened to its customers on for around four years."

Hinckley dentists 'played system to cheat £46,000 from NHS'
Two dentists have gone on trial accused of cheating the NHS out of £46,000.
It is claimed Dr Werner Muller and Dr John Atkinson fraudulently billed the NHS for work they had carried out privately, at the Clarendon Road dental practice in Hinckley.
Muller (45), who is accused of duping the NHS out of £26,046, denies 20 charges of false accounting, relating to 140 fraudulent claims that work was done for the health service when it was done privately.
Atkinson (64) denies 17 similar counts, involving £20,269 and 91 fraudulent claims to the NHS, during 2006 and 2007.

Both also deny evasion of liability by deception and fraud, relating to their alleged manipulation of the computerised billing system.
Kevin Dent, prosecuting, told the jury at Leicester Crown Court: "They were having their cake and eating it at tax- payers' expense.
"Both defendants have made false claims to the NHS pretending to have carried out certain work on patients under the provisions of the NHS when it had been carried out privately.
"They were double claiming for the same dental work by doing private work and billing the NHS for it."
The prosecution alleges the defendants played the system to their own advantage for about a year-and-a-half after new NHS contracts for dentists were introduced in 2006.
Under the new contracts, dentists are paid an amount agreed in advance for carrying out a set number of NHS treatments, or Units of Dental Activity (UDA).
Mr Dent claimed the defendants "fell into" the alleged fraud to prevent them having to pay money back to the NHS at the end of the financial year for not reaching their agreed UDA targets.
Muller, of Field Dalling Road, Bale, Norfolk, was on a £271,000 NHS contract at the time of the alleged offending, and Atkinson, of Finham Road, Kenilworth, a £135,000 contract, both before tax.
Both were paying 50 per cent of their income to cover the costs of their surgery, equipment and staff. They were self-employed associates at the dental practice doing NHS and private work.
Mr Dent also claimed the dentists persuaded some patients to have private treatment instead of NHS work by wrongly implying the latter was inferior or unavailable.
"Both were consistently advising patients that work would be better quality if done privately and were quite persuasive," he said.
"They're not facing charges for misleading patients but you may think it significant they were encouraging private work.
"Some patients thought they were being treated as NHS patients and the defendants were adept in continuing to let them think they were receiving NHS treatment, but in fact doing private work for private prices.
"Their charges bore no relation to the three different NHS price bands."
The dentists allegedly covered their tracks by failing to provide patients with printed-out treatment plans with relevant costing, apart from three instances in Muller's case.
Mr Dent said: "They broke the fundamental rule that you can't provide work privately and bill the NHS for it.
"Under both the old and the new system, for the last 20 years, there was an absolute bar against charging a private fee on top of an NHS fee for the same treatment.
"You can't top up the NHS rate with a private fee on the same work. You can't add on another £100 or so because you feel the rate is too low."
He claimed the dentists committed the alleged fraud to maintain their income by "providing private crowns, dentures and fillings but pretending it was NHS work".
The trial continues.

Archive for the 'Food Porn' Category
* A Year, In Food: 3 continents, 30,000+ air miles, unknown calories.
Posted on June 13th, 2011 by admin. Filed under #SpanishRevolution, Art, Egypt, Ethiopia, Food, Food Porn, Haiti, Revolution Junkie, Tunisia.
At first glance this post may appear to have nothing to do with travel, revolutions or humanitarian work — but it does. Those of you who have spent time with me know that no matter where I go and what I do, I always manage to shoot food porn.
When I put all my food pix together, I saw that it's an uncomplicated way of revisiting all the places I called "home" this year (too many). It also documents the erosion of my diet since leaving a steady life in one place, as well as my failed attempt to eat meat after 20 years of being a vegetarian (have you ever tasted octopus or "souffle of Bambi?" I haven't been missing anything, thanks).
If you think I eat too much of one thing or not enough of something else, feel free to let me know. So far, I've decided to cut back on coffee & desserts.

Happy New Year!
A Gugelhupf is a southern German term for a marble cake. Gugel is translated as "hood" and hupfen as "spring," as the cake rises slowly in its form whilst being baked. There are many variations of the Gugelhupf and today I have glammed it up for New Years Eve, and believe me... it doesn't taste as sugary as it looks!

Red Hat Government Team Picks Up Two Award Nominations
December 13, 2007
by Government Team
At the recent Gartner IT ChannelVision: Government Edition event, Red Hat's government team picked up two prestigious award nominations. One for best technology provider. And one for best federal channel strategy. The Best of IT ChannelVision: Government Edition Awards are voted on by attending system integrators and Red Hat was one of just four nominees in these categories.
Regular readers of our blog will notice that this is the third recognition this year for the government channel team. Red Hat's director of Government Channel Sales, Mike Byrd, was recognized earlier this year by GovernmentVAR as one of the 25 Public Sector Channel Leaders and Washington Technology awarded Mike its prestigious Channel Leadership Award.
The Gartner IT ChannelVision: Government Edition is a premier event focused on building partnerships between world-class vendors and the government IT channel.

Evaluation based on completeness of vision and ability to execute
MIAMI, Dec. 16 — Terremark, a Verizon Company, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, 2011 report1. The Magic Quadrant depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace, as defined by Gartner.
According to Gartner's report, "Leaders have distinguished themselves by offering an excellent service and having an ambitious future road map. They usually serve a broad range of use cases well, although they do not excel in all areas, and they are not necessarily the best providers for a specific need. They have a track record of successful delivery, along with many referenceable customers."
For the report, Gartner defines public cloud compute IaaS as "a standardized, highly automated, massively multitenant offering, where compute resources, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are owned and hosted by a service provider and offered to the customer on demand. The customer is able to self-provision this infrastructure, using a Web-based graphical user interface (UI) that serves as an IT operations management console for the overall environment; API access to the infrastructure may optionally be offered as well.
"Cloud computing in the form of IaaS is transforming the way enterprises and government agencies procure, provision and deploy their IT resources, and we believe that our unique set of assets position Terremark as a clear leader in this evolution in the industry," said Kerry Bailey, president of Terremark. "The combination of Terremark and Verizon's leading-edge IaaS offerings, and the workload migration capabilities delivered by CloudSwitch, provide our customers with a complete set of solutions for their exact needs. We believe the result of Gartner's evaluation underscores that our strategic approach to investing in this nascent market is aligned with where the market is moving and how our customers are increasingly expecting to leverage cloud infrastructure moving forward."

Calvin College Wins MIAA Commissioner's Cup!!!

At the conclusion of the 2007-08 year, Calvin and Hope shared the Commissioner's Cup as the two schools tied for first place. Hope had since won the last four outright titles. The MIAA Commissioner's Cup award is based on the cumulative performance of each member school in the league's 20 sports for men and women.

Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Grinding for shards I made this and figured others may be interested.
It shows how many shards it takes to forge to a higher level relic on the left and on the right it shows how many shards are relieved if you were to refine the relics you had instead of forging them to a higher tier.
The end conclusion is, refine relics at the tier you get them, EXCEPT for T2, forge them to T3 and then refine them.
This does not take into account forging crits, however, if you were to forge 2,160 T1s to get a T7 relic you would need to crit 1,696 shards over the forging process, maybe others have better information on crit amounts and percentages?

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Very useful, thank you!

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Thanks for this, great help.
I started refining the other day and it is tedious work.
I did manage to make 3 remarkables relics.
Problem I now have is this: I have HUGE amounts of T1 relics, but what to do with those.
The most efficient way is to refine them for 1 shard each, but that takes ages.
During that time I could probably do Stoneheight and get more shards from the T4 relics there.
But using them to make T2 or T3 doesn't seem profitable as well.
It would take 20 Tier1 relics to make 1 T3, so losing 11 shards in the process which wouldnt be bad it it cuts down the time.
Problem is, I still need to combine 5 times which also takes time, and money!
Are tier 1 relics just destined to sit in our relic pool never being used?

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
thx for the info, really helpfull

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Wonder if you sell the T1s and then buy the T3s/T4s and end up with more shards and spend less time. I haven't traded int that currency so I have no idea.
Really Turbine needs to give us a process stack button for these things. Its not supposed to be a time suck like leveling up a crafter is it? I don't see why they can't let us decon stacks of them and refine stacks(or all of 1 type) of them.
I haven't looked at my toons, I shutter to think how many T1s I have now. I don't decon T4s and up as I hoard them. Never know what toon will need them in the future. Guess I'll pay for that with hours of deconning too.

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Problem is you can't sell T1 relics ( or any other) unless they are in their sealed form ( like how they drop in instances)
I decided to try and meld T1 into T3 and see how much shards that got me.
I did this by using 20 T1 to make 4 T2 and then use the 4T2 to make 1 T3.
I critted twice, once for 4 and once for 5 shards. I also had 1 left over T2.
So in total I got 4 (crit)+ 5(crit) +2 ( from extra t2) + 9 ( from T3) = 20.
It did cost some money but shard wise it wasn't a bad deal.
Maybe I was lucky, but in the long run it saves you a lot of time, so I would suggest making T3 relics from all your T1 and T2's

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
So with update 6 it seems that relic forging now gives 2 of the next higher level instead of 1. Forging 4 tier 1 relics now gives 2 tier 2 relics.
Is forging a better option now? (please say yes cos hitting that auto combine button is much easier)Last edited by Samhandwich; Apr 08 2012 at 12:09 AM.

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Post update 6, the efficiency table has changed with respect to the relic forging and refining. The poster above me can rest easy I started out with 262 T1 relics, 90 T2 relics, and 205 T3 relics which, by the old system would have yielded 2287 shards not counting crits.
With the new system in place, almost every T1-->T2 forge yielded at least 2 T2 relics with crits giving 3-4 relics plus shards. Same situation was apparant for the T2-->T3 forges: usually 2 T3 relics with crits doing better. From T3-->T4 and T4-->T5, every other forge or so yielded 2 of the higher tiered relic with crits doing better again.
The double relic yield seems to stop at the T5-->T6 forging level. I combined enough T5 relics to make 20 T6's with one crit and no double yields.
Only counting the shards received from refining the original 550 or so T1-T3 relics forged to T5, I received 4935 shards, 12 10k IXP runes, and 2 15k IXP runes. So under the new system, and if you don't mind spending a little bit of silver along the way, it is much more efficient to combine all your relics to T5 and then refine.

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Thanks for the update. Auto combining is now much quicker and easier and gives more shards and relics overall.

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
Keep in mind that the higher the tier the more expensive it is to combine relics.
Combine Tier 1 = 2 silver per combination
Combine Tier 2 = 6 silver per combination
Combine Tier 3 = 18 silver per combination
Combine Tier 4 = 54 silver per combination
Combine Tier 5 = 135 silver per combination
Combine Tier 6 = 405 silver per combination
Combine Tier 7 = 1 gold 12 silver per combination
If you are combining a lot of relics (i.e. starting w/5 stacks of 20 Tier 1 relics)
you can easily spend 15 to 20 gold without even realizing it.

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
After doing a bunch of combines the average combine returns and cost/return (eg for t1-t2 cost=5 and return =2.5).
It looks like the returns are nearly normalized to the cost (how many relics of the lower tier it takes to make the next highest tier). Regardless its now much more effecient to refine at higher tiers. That being said the previous posters have a point. Combining a bunch of t7s will decon your wallet and fast
Tier Combines Avg Return Combine cost/Return 1 52 2.00 2.5 2 45 1.84 2.17 3 74 1.72 2.33 4 80 1.24 2.42 5 46 1.20 2.51

Re: Most Efficient Relic Refining for Shards
just to update this thread in regards to shard grinding, id like to add that the most efficient method for obtaining shards is to craft relics and refine them.
For the top tier crafted you get ~760 shards
for the purple you get ~160
now add in the T6 and lower crafting level crafted relics and you can easily obtain ~2k shards a week or more, with 4 alts I have no problem getting all the shards i need in no time! ive learned that many folks have not realized this little tidbit of info and wouldnt know it myself had a kinmate not shared the info. Just passing it on!

Not getting any better
Even worse is that every day brings more and more suffering! Yesterday we were woken up at 6am, we spent all day at the holocaust education centre being put through this really strange 'experiential teaching method' which focuses not on historical and factual analysis but instead attempts to replicate the emotional process of holocaust victims. Our lunch was a can of soda, a cheese sandwich and a tangerine. At six thirty we left there and were taken straight to the Israel Museum where we went on a two hour guided tour. Then at nine in the evening we sat down to dinner with the minister for the diaspora who paid for our trip. I was feeling very very sick, I didn't eat anything and left the table several times to vomit it was truly awful.
We got back to our hotel after 11pm but unfortunately that wasn't the end of the day for me. I was taken aside by the director of our school and told that I was one of a group of students who had been complained about by the teacher at the education centre. Apparently my crimes are not confining my toilet breaks to the prescribed times and being perceived as part of a core group of students who are resistant and overly critical.
I feel pretty traumatised by it all to be honest. I feel like I have come face to face with the most negative parts of Israeli society, in this instance its the use of 'sacred' holocaust narratives to validate and justify certain (mostly Zionist) political agendas and ways of living and when you critique this, or are even perceived to critique it, you are accused of disrespecting the victims of the holocaust. Its one of those accusations that, at least in this current framework, the more you deny it the more guilty you look! At one point one of my classmates was accused of denying the holocaust (something which in many European countries is quite rightly a crime) because she criticised the Zionist elements of the museum. The verdict on us has been "if you're going to criticise then get out!" Which I think sends the message loud and clear that theres no room for dissenting opinion when it comes to the monopoly on interpreting the holocaust.
So I spent today sleeping, since it was decided that some of us should stay home and 'rest', and actually it was the best thing I could've done. Its half past ten at night and my fellow students are still 'learning' despite leaving this morning at half seven. Physically I'm not sure if I feel any better, I think (and hope) that I'm entering that phase on the tail end of a flu where you just feel really weak and dizzy and that in a few days I will be at least well enough to... Smoke a cigarette? Actually I am thinking about giving up but thats another story....
I'm really surprised by the amount of conflict at the moment, I really wasn't expecting it. I have been working really hard with my teachers and classmates to communicate effectively and so far its worked really well. I guess the problem is in Israel they are keeping us on a much tighter leash and I'm not the kind of person who does very well in that kind of environment. I guess the question now is how will the rest of the trip be? We are only half way through after all. Also, what will things be like when we get back to Stockholm,will the feelings of suspicion and accusations follow us home? I know I feel like there has been a lot of trust lost between myself and the staff of my school, I know a lot of my classmates feel he same. Its not a very good basis on which to head back to Stockholm and start the most intensive part of the program...
I know its cliche but I always struggle this time of year, so its a pretty potent combination of crappiness. The good news is I'm looking forward to getting back to Sweden and seeing my friends and facing down some challenges.

I think you have Norovirus. They've been warning of an epidemic for a couple of weeks now. Bed and rehydrating solution is your best bet. The worst tends to be short lived but it leaves you weak.
For the rest ... Yes. Was once accused of being antisenitic for suggesting a commemoration mention gays snd gypsies as well. - December 27, 2012 at 3:43 PM

Getting in strife for taking bathroom breaks when you've got a gastro-type flu virus? Oh bugger that!
Hope you got some positives out of your trip to Israel. I am not religious in the slightest but see the history of Israel and its surrounds as an amazing place to visit (albeit not a place to not have your wits about you).
I saw you on MTS on Australia's ABC - it's clear that your faith is an enormous part of your life, and it's great to hear that you're studying further and expanding this part of your life. Hope that you enjoy the rest of your course in Sweden. Best of luck.

September 2011
Following Rebecca & Giles' wedding ceremony in Part I at St Magdalene Church in Castleton we headed to Sherborne Castle for their reception. Sherborne Castle is an impressive building and is set in the most beautiful countryside.
Drinks reception was held in the Orangery, which is set in the formal gardens. We went off with the couple around the grounds, where we really were spoilt for choice with so many beautiful backdrops to choose from.
The couples evening celebrations were held in a marquee beside the lake. The Marquee was beautifully decorated by Giles' mum, who put flowers from her garden into vintage teacups on each table.
After the wedding breakfast and as the sun was setting we headed down to the boathouse beside the lake with Rebecca & Giles to make the most of the late summer light.
We wish Rebecca & Giles all the best and it was a pleasure to be your photographers for the day!

Rebecca and Giles got married on 10th September at The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Castleton, Sherborne. Castleton Church is nextdoor to the Sherborne Old Castle ruins just over the lake from the couples reception venue.
We began the day in the village of East Coker at Giles parents house where Rebecca and her Bridesmaids were getting ready. Scott popped down the road to meet Giles and the boys at the local pub before they made their way to church.
St Mary Magdalene is a quaint Norman Church and quite unusual inside and out. Following the ceremony we all travelled a stone's throw away to the other side of the lake where another Castle awaited.
Rebecca & Giles Reception was held at Sherborne Castle and began with drinks in The Orangery; you can see the photographs from Part II here

Following Sam & Alex's wedding ceremony at the impressive Christ Church, Clifton in Part I we headed towards Clifton Suspension Bridge one of Sam & Alex's favourite spots in Bristol. We then made our way through Clifton village on the hunt for one of the many Gorilla's from the 'Wow Gorilla' public art project to celebrate the 175th annivesary of Bristol Zoo Gardens. I am pleased to report we found one in a quiet courtyard.
Sam & Alex's reception took place aboard Brunel's SS Great Britain, a huge ship, which you may remember from their engagement shoot! It was a really fun venue and guests enjoyed exploring all areas of the ship during the evening. Drinks reception took place on the top deck and the wedding breakfast was below deck in the banquetting room, which has a lot the ship's original features.
We thouroughly enjoyed our day with Sam, Alex and all their guests and wish them all the best!

Samantha & Alex got married on 20th August at the beautiful Christ Church in Clifton, Bristol. The church is an impressive building with a tall steeple and is a short distance from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which we headed to following the ceremony in Part II.
We met up with Samantha and the girls at The Bristol Hotel, where they were getting ready. Everybody was very chilled out in the morning and we could hear a Saxophonist playing outside the hotel window, which helped set the mood.
The photographs begin with Sam's stunning Karen Millen shoes complete with bling, aren't they gorgeous! I also love the bright pink Bridesmaid's dresses.
The ceremony was again laid back and Samantha and Alex were beaming throughout. I love the smiles Alex gave Sam during the hymns.
Following the ceremony we made our way to Brunel's SS Great Britain, where the reception took place in Part II

A follow-up to 2010's War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron takes players through the final hours of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons as they battle for dominion over their fading planet.
Fall of Cybertron will not include its predecessor's cooperative component, but High Moon is beefing up the game's multiplayer mode. Specific details are thin, but the developer showed the game off at DICE 2012 in February, revealing that players will be able to customize their characters' parts and color schemes.
