Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New widow should focus on making friends, fun first
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I was widowed early this year and am extremely lonely. I'm over 50. My late husband and I had become estranged -- much of his illness was due to his neglect of long-standing medical problems. I became angry and resentful of the illness, and him. It became clear years ago that he didn't love me or the kids anymore. So I've been emotionally widowed a lot longer than I have physically.
I decided to sign up for a couple of the popular dating sites. I'll admit I'm no super-catch -- I'm full-bodied, have kids under 18 and I have a full-time mid-management career. But I have a great sense of humour, intelligence, love of life, a sense of adventure and a positive outlook. I'm having no success on these sites -- the only men showing interest are ones looking for a bit of fun on the side, or for very casual encounters. I'm not ready to marry again, but it's an eventual goal. I'd like to find someone to love who will love me in return.
There's a stigma attached to being widowed so "young." Men are either afraid you'll be comparing them to your late spouse, or that you're too emotionally distraught to be happy again. Having younger kids at this generation seems to be another black mark against me. Am I imagining this stigma, or should I just be resigned to wear black the rest of my days? -- Empty-Hearted, St. Vital
Dear Empty-Hearted: If online dating isn't working, junk it. And only wear black if it flatters your figure. I like your honesty! You're not a suffering widow and you aren't pretending your husband deserved a pedestal. So it's time to be what my dad used to call a "merry widow." Free of a husband who wasn't kind, loving or even affectionate, they can treat themselves to jewelry and clothing and fun.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm writing in response to "IQ of 170." Please don't give up! I also have a high IQ, and I don't have much of a libido, unless I find the right woman. No. 1 on my checklist is whether she's bright enough to carry on a semi-intelligent conversation. There are guys out there who aren't sex fiends (even young ones; I'm 23), and yes, some of them are still even single and straight (I am, albeit a little shy). So you may be fed up, but don't give up. I never will -- love is too important. -- Sincerely, Slightly Lower IQ Than 170, Winnipeg
Dear Slightly Lower: Glad you will never give up, so let me help you a little: you only want a semi-intelligent conversation? Why aim so low? There are lots of very smart women out there who want a cerebral connection, and you need to go where love is for you. That means joining clubs and organizations where intelligent people go, continuing university courses in your area of interest and teaching some courses. Keep your eyes open for attractive brainiacs and make it known you're actively looking.
You don't say what your area is, but pursue it big-time and globally. Becoming the best there is at anything is a good way to get well-known and to attract similar people to you. Excellence is sexy. Founders of clubs or groups become the focal point and everyone gets to know them first. Intellectuals need intellectuals. Some just need them to turn on their brains, and some need them to turn on brains and bodies, as you do.

First days at the University | First Semester | Great Experience | Poverty Reduction
First Days at the University
Dennis Moore about his first days at the University of Twente
I am a Sierra Leonean JJ/WBGSP student studying for my MBA degree at the University of Twente in The Netherlands.
I must say I had plenty of pleasant experiences during my first few days at the University. This may be because the initial months of the study program requires students to study out of the main University campus in a small town called Franeker (in the extreme north of the Netherlands). Since we were the only students on our small 'campus', this meant that we had a lot more attention from academic and support staff of the University. For instance, we had a Secretariat that we had easy access to and who were willing and able to assist with our many inquires and problems.
Events were also further helped by the frequent number of coordination meetings we had with University authorities where we were free to speak out and discuss our various experiences - both academic and otherwise.
Furthermore, the course program had a number of 'informal' subjects such as English Communications and Management and Advisory Skills during which students were made to interact in a lot less formal way in classroom work. This made for interesting exchanges during which cultural and social differences from our different countries were listened to and active participation encouraged. These particularly helped students whose first languages were not English.
More... please visit JJ/WBGSP Discussion Forum
Wui Wui Yu from Malaysia, studies Analysis, Design and Management of Information Systems at London School of Economics
When I came over to London end September this year, I was really curious to know if there were other JJ/WBGSP students here, and I'm delighted to know of this community.
Adapting to life in London initially was not easy, mainly the weather and food which I've got used to by now. Also the people here in London, who's need for personal space are very much larger than those in Asia and US. I was blessed to get a place at London House - good facilities, great talents, and lots of social events.
But it would have helped a lot if this community forum was set up earlier. Perhaps something can be arranged to support JJ/WBGSP students next year?
Admira Onyenze about her first days at the University of Wales Swansea
I am a Sierra Leonean by Nationality studying at the University of Wales Swansea, doing development studies at postgraduate level.
My first few days at the above university was quite interesting. We had orientation from various units in the university especially that of the International student advisory unit. It gave us a holistic idea about the campus life which also includes security information work duringstudies. There were welcome parties for new students to integrate with the community. For example, Swansea community did a welcome party for all postgraduate students. It was quite interesting because everyone should ensure that he/she speaks with each and everyone at the party one at a time in order to interact. We were just moving around through out the party. It was an acquaintances party.
At the university we also have an English class for student whose first language is not English. We also had simulation class, that is, foundation class which were using role play method. This was another form of interaction for the new students. There is also free computer classes for beginners to learn how to operate the computer.
We have seminars every Wednesday afternoon where students are also expected to interact with community, lecturers, people from Swansea, and outside Swansea, present papers on different topics, and after the presentation students are expected to asks questions.
Zione Uka, found quite hard the beginning of her studies
I must say I found it quite hard at the beginning to have to work at a number of courseworks due within a short period and at the same time be ready for an exam around the corner. Actually the first coursework I did not do well. I suppose I was still getting used to the system. What made it worse was that many students in the class did better. I was angry at myself with the result, but it really got me working as harder as I could. I believed that if others could get better marks, so could I. How right I was!
The next assessments I was one of the best, and although there have been some other hiccups, generally my performance has greatly improved from that first coursework, which helped me get through the Semester...
First Semester
Lillian Nsubuga about her first semester at the University of Bath in UK
I am called Lillian Nsubuga, pursuing an MSc in International Development at the University of Bath in the UK. The first semester was really a tough period for me, having to get used to all that academic language with all its theories and concepts. I am glad I passed. However, I must say I was disappointed with some of my grades. I worked very hard and had expected better grades only to get a shock! But I believe the second semester will be a lot better. I am a lot wiser now. At least I have learnt to speak the academic language just like the professors here.
Word of advice. Make good use of every minute during your studies because time flies like there is no tomorrow! I can't believe that I am already in the 6th month of my studies. More advice. Be active in class, like chairing seminars, making presentations and contributing to class discussions. It makes you popular with the lecturers and other students. You also earn yourself lots of respect and recognition. Even if you are not sure that what you are going to say is right or relevant, just say it. It is better than not saying a word in class.
Also, read lots of newspapers, journals, reports and bulletins. They contain a lot of practical information. The World Development Reports and Human Development Reports have especially been helpful to me.
Examinations? Tough period. To lessen the pressure start preparing for them early enough.
Generally, I'm having lots of fun in my studies. I might do a placement/internship between July and September, which means that I will complete writing my dissertation in December. That is how it is done in Bath.
Great Experience
Rica Bueno, the Philippines: Program opened a new horizon
I took my Masters in Development Planning at the University of Queensland in 1999-2000. I should say it was a great experience and I'm forever grateful to the Program for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime.
The experience opened a new horizon for me not only academically, but as well as personally. I cherished the new ideas, learning and friendships gained while studying and living in Australia.Although my study was not without difficulties having to adjust to full course work study again was something I had to deal with.
Our program director, Dr. Mano Kumarasuriyar and other professors were very helpful at all times. But what carried me through most was the bond of support I got from co-international students -- helping each other with assignments, researchers, and even personal problems.
Nguyenba Thuy: Saitama University is a very good place for studying and doing research
I have been awarded scholarship from JJ/World Bank for mater program in the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering of Saitama University. The course started in October, 2002.
Saitama is a very good place for studying and doing research, and is many of students from. Almost forty different countries, mainly coming from Asia.
Due to its diversity in Japan culture and in many countries you have a chance to make friends and learn more about Japan and different cultures.
There is party and cultural show every year, students from each country introduce its country's culture and identity. This may be a song, a play or a dance. University also organize trip for students to learn more about Japan, a beautiful country with nice people and good foods.
Studying in Saitama, requires hard-working and well planning. You will see that there will be lots of readings, experiment, assignment, and research, etc. Good planning of your time (with balance of studying and playing) is very important since it will help you balance the workload of study and reduce stress.
Muhammad Aftab Majeed: The degree from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK has provided me with a first hand knowledge and broaden my horizon to address the environmental issues
I have successfully completed my degree from University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK in 2003-2004.
It was a very good experience for me to get advanced education in the field of Environment. Aberdeen is one of the Scotland's important cities and is a hub of oil and gas development in the North Sea. Years of exploration in the North Sea and waste generated as a result of exploration have caused serious environmental problems in UK. Environmental Sciences department of University of Aberdeen is one of the leading departments in research on bioremediation of contaminated land and toxic waste.
Water being a precious commodity has been the main concern while dealing with contaminated land. The focus of my thesis was the development in situ remediation techniques for contaminated soil to asses the ground water quality and its potential impacts. The research which I have conducted was based on original soil samples from one of the gas work sites in UK.
According to my personal work experience in oil and gas sector in the developing world, water scarcity and its pollution is the major environmental problem, particularly in the developing countries where oil waste has been dumped in the soil for years.
The degree has provided me with a first hand knowledge and broaden my horizon to address the environmental issues and its sustainable management. I am thankful to the staff and selection committee of World Bank for providing me wit this opportunity.
Poverty Reduction
Lillian Nsubuga: Fighting poverty requires more than just sacrifice - it requires commitment and determination
I am called Lillian from Uganda, and I am currently pursuing my Msc in International Development at Bath University with JJ/WBGSP funds.
I am a journalist and have come face to face with extreme poverty in my country. That is why I chose this course. Two months into the course, I realize the problem is actually bigger than I ever imagined (globally), and I am already making mental pictures of what I would like to do when I get back to my country. But fighting poverty requires more than just sacrifice - it requires commitment and determination, it requires insight and above all, it requires patience especially with the people whose life you are trying to change.
Sudarshana Perera: knowledge gained at the Columbia University is helping to participate in poverty reduction programmes in Sri Lanka
I am from Sri Lanka. I did my Masters at the Columbia University, New York City. It is a JJ/WBGSP regular programme, therefore the course is well focused and organized. There are around 50 students in the course from all over the world and 15 of them whom came from developing countries were funded by the JJ/WBGSP.
We have separate office under the supervision of a very good Director and three other nice officers. This office was with us all the time.

Pancost Trucking had been profitably hauling about eight refrigerated containers full of beef each week from Colorado to West Coast ports until the "mad cow" scare led dozens of countries to ban American beef.
Now the Sterling, Colo.-based company is ''in a tailspin'' because two of its biggest customers, Tyson Foods and Excel, a division of Cargill, have all but halted exports, leaving owner Gerry Schaefer scrambling to find other work for his 20 drivers.
''We've been having to run over to Nebraska to get potatoes,'' Schaefer said. ''And we're hauling more pork out of Kansas.''
Though 90 percent of U.S. beef is sold at home, the overnight collapse of the export business has given companies that transport feed, cattle and beef, as well as some meat processors, plenty to worry about.
Shippers and meat industry officials said it is too early to accurately assess the financial impact but that some economic hardship is already trickling down: The cattle trade between barns and feed lots has slowed, the value of slaughter-ready animals has declined and some meat processors have scaled back production enough to necessitate furloughs.
Moreover, some $200 million worth of meat and meat products remains in limbo, either at sea, at port or in refrigerated facilities here and abroad, according to industry officials.
In the past week, SCS Refrigerated Services of Portland, Ore., received a surge of inquiries from meat producers and shippers looking to store more than 10 million pounds of meat products.
''It's what we call opportunity business,'' said president and CEO Hugh Carr, noting that January would otherwise be a slow month. ''But it's not the kind of opportunity business we welcome because it's a terribly unfortunate situation.''
More than 30 countries banned American beef after a Canadian Holstein slaughtered Dec. 9 in Washington State was confirmed last week as the first case of mad cow disease in the United States.
The investigation continues and authorities have now quarantined a third herd of Washington state cattle connected to the same Canadian herd as the infected cow.
Mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is a concern because humans who eat brain or spinal matter from an infected cow can develop a brain-wasting illness that can be fatal.
Despite assurances by U.S. officials that the nation's beef is safe, the fate of nearly 2,000 containers of beef and beef products that were exported — prior to the Dec. 23 warning about a suspected case of the disease — is unclear.
About 800 of those containers have already been unloaded and warehoused in Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
''It's going to be difficult to return,'' said spokeswoman Lynn Heinze.
The remainder is primarily scattered among cargo ships still at sea, Heinze said, although some containers are stacked up at ports from Los Angeles to Seattle.
Unless the trade bans are lifted or shipments can be redirected to other markets, Heinze said the meat could very well be sent back to where it came from — the least preferable option.
Spoilage is not the most immediate concern, since fresh beef has a refrigerated shelf life of about two months, and some of it might be flash frozen upon return to the U.S. market.
Rather, about a third of the meat sent to Asia is ''variety'' meat — tongue, liver, kidneys and intestines — that is not popular in the United States and it would likely be rendered for dog food, animal feed and other products upon return to U.S. processors, industry officials said.
''The value, once returned to this country, is pretty minimal,'' Heinze said, particularly when the extra transportation costs are factored in.
Fremont Beef Co., an eastern Nebraska processor dependent on the Japanese market, sent home 49 of its 131 employees early this week, said Les Leech, chief operating officer. Leech said the company is scrambling to find alternative customers for its products. America slaughters roughly 26 million cattle a year and exports about $3.5 billion in beef and beef products annually.
''If we brought it back it would certainly create a glut of product in this market, which would depress prices,'' said Jim Herlihy, a spokesman for Swift & Co. of Greeley, Colo., whose beef business accounts for more than 7 million cattle a year.
Beef futures trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are down about 19 percent from 90.67 per pound on Dec. 23.
On Friday, the spot contract price, February live cattle, settled at 74.30 cents a pound, up 0.53 cent. ''We've been talking to feedlot operators and they're real cautious on replacements right now,'' said Bud Wallace, proprietor of Planada, Calif.-based Wallace Transport, which hauls the feed used to fatten cows.
''There really hasn't been very many cattle bought since all this started,'' said Rick Yost, vice president of VY Truck Line of Sterling, Colo.
With fewer meat-packed containers headed to the West Coast, many trucking companies are also losing valuable deliveries of wine, vegetables, fish and other products they would normally haul east on their return trips. For mom-and-pop operators such as Pancost Trucking, this is a double whammy, with each idled truck missing out on a potential round-trip haul that could bring the company about $2,800 in revenue.

Ambassadors and Representatives of EU Embassies Visited Shandong Province
13.11.2013 / 11:40
November 6th to 8th 2013 Ambassadors and representatives of EU Embassies to the People´s Republic of China paid a working visit to Qufu, Tai´an and Jinan in Shandong Province and had a meeting and discussion with local government representatives including the Governor and Vice-governor of Shandong, Mayor of Jinan City and many other distinguished officials.
The visit was organized by the Lithuanian Presidency of EU in order to establish or deepen contacts between the EU countries and Shandong, which is one of the most important and prosperous provinces in China. The Czech Republic participated in this event and was represented by the Deputy Ambassador Mr. Zbynek Noha. The whole visit was co-organised by the Foreign Affairs Office of Shandong Province under the motto "EU Diplomats Embracing Shandong – Hand in Hand for Common Development".
The Ambassadors and other EU diplomats attended a round table with officials of Shandong Province chaired by Vice-governor Xia Geng and co-chaired by the Ambassador of Lithuania Mrs. Lina Antanaviciene. The discussion focused on possible deepening of cooperation between EU and Shandong Province, inter alia in the field of environmental protection, transportation and drug and food safety. They also met a number of Shandong entrepreneurs and held a workshop about future cooperation. Later the representatives were received by the Governor Guo Shuqing who expressed his will to enhance the relations between Shandong Province and respective EU countries.
During a visit to Jinan University the diplomats had a chance to speak to Chinese as well as foreign students and meet the professors and management of the University. The group also visited Qilu Software Park and Sun Paper Industry factory. The EU Embassies representatives also enjoyed the opportunity to see the birth place and the tomb of Confucius in Qufu and the view from the peak of Mount Taishan.
One of the regions in the Czech Republic – Zlín Region – has a partnership with Shandong Province.

Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan
Earlier this year, I found myself standing before a coffee stand in Singapore, paralyzed with indecision. It wasn't that I didn't know what to order—I just wasn't sure how exactly to order it.
On the signboard before me were strings of words: Kopi O, Kopi C, Kopi Tarik, and more. The options were mind-boggling—and to think that I'd thought ordering coffee in America was confusing. A visit to any Singapore kopitiam—the Fukienese word for "coffee shop"—makes navigating the grande- and skinny-laden lingo of Starbucks seem like a breeze.
Today, even though Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlets have
become ubiquitous, kopitiams remain hugely popular.
Ordering coffee or tea has always been a little complicated in Singapore—this is partly because this is a country that prides itself greatly in its coffee-shop culture. Kopitiams first sprouted in Singapore in the 1900s, set up by entrepreneurial immigrants from southern China who moved to the country seeking a better life and decided to tap into the British-inspired trend of coffee-drinking, says K.F. Seetoh, founder of Makansutra, a food guidebook that is a bit like Singapore's Zagat Guide. "Out of necessity, these became places to hang out," Seetoh says, noting that kopitiams quickly caught on because they usually offered ample seating and sold cheap dishes for lunch or breakfast in addition to coffee. A classic kopitiam breakfast, for example, costs just a few Singapore dollars (U.S. $1.00 being about Singapore $1.30 right now) and comprises coffee or tea, a runny soft-boiled egg with soy sauce, and "kaya toast," slices of white bread toasted and slathered with gobs of butter and house-made kaya, a sweet coconut jam.
Today, even though Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlets have become ubiquitous, kopitiams remain hugely popular—no neighborhood is complete without at least one. And their clientele runs the gamut from children and young professionals to retirees, who sometimes spend whole days sitting in kopitiams drinking coffee and, later in the day, beer.
There is a distinct taste to kopitiam coffee (or kopi, as it is called). For starters, the beans are dry fried in a wok with corn kernels and butter, Seetoh says. "This gives it a slightly sweet and savory taste," he notes. "In the old days, they used to fry the beans in lard, but that doesn't happen anymore." When a customer places an order, kopitiam baristas will place these ground beans in a thick long "sock," a coffee strainer made out of cloth that over time adds to the coffee's flavor, Seetoh notes, as the sock is usually rinsed well but not cleaned thoroughly with soap at the end of the day. Then, they'll run hot water through the beans in the sock and directly into a thick, squat coffee cup that's already been filled with condensed milk or evaporated milk (or sometimes both) and sugar.
Kopi C literally means coffee with just evaporated milk, the "C" coming from Carnation, which is the canned-milk brand of choice for most Singaporean kopitiams. Kopi O means black coffee, as "o" is the word for black in Fukienese; kopi siutai means you'd like less sugar; kopi kosong (Malay for "zero") means you'd like to skip the sugar altogether. Then there is kopi tarik, which means "pulled coffee," as the coffee is poured back and forth between two giant metal mugs in order to cool it slightly before serving. Some believe that the aeration of the coffee by "pulling" it into long ribbons between the two mugs adds to the flavor of the beverage. The same options are offered with tea—or teh, as Singaporeans call it. Finally, there is the ultimate kopitiam concoction: yin yang, which is a combination of half coffee and half tea, evaporated milk and so forth.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said... Is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."Sometimes when a plan or idea is proposed, the regular insults and even a facepalm just don't cut it. Nope, they've crossed the line into what can be called a Crowning Moment of Stupidity, and the witness feels the need to comment on this. Variations can include "dumbest", "most idiotic", "most ridiculous" etc., but the same basic message applies. However, if it's said too liberally or about something that everyone in-universe knows actually isn't stupid, they in turn open themselves to ridicule. May be combined with Who Would Be Stupid Enough. Contrast Crazy Enough to Work. If the person being castigated winds up being correct, this can become The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right. If a prediction we know comes true is met with this, it's a form of It Will Never Catch On.

Zeolite for Autism
February 12, 2014Notes from conference call with Dr. Peter Prociuk, who is working with liquid zeolite and reversing symptoms of autism and other behavioral disorders in children.
Zeolite Users' Reports
May 31, 2014Zeolite - cancer prevention by removal of toxic heavy metals, environmental chemicals and pesticides.
Poisoned Water
September 10, 2012Clean drinking water is something that we take pretty much taken for granted. But we have little idea just how contaminated our drinking water has become. Our environment has changed, new pathogens are emerging, drinking water systems are aging, and governments seem more interested in ensuring business in the global marketplace than in ensuring the health of their citizens.
Fulvic and Humic Acids: Minerals in Food
September 10, 2013Fulvic and Humic acids are present in all living soils, with fulvic being more prevalent in forest soils and humic more prevalent in grassland soils. The foods we eat are grown in soils that have been industrially farmed for decades, over-planted and saturated with synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. They are deficient in both the major and trace minerals.
Vaccines Cause Brain Injury
December 13, 2012Vaccines Cause Brain Injury: The Pourcyrous study: peer reviewed study proves it.
Chemical Poisoning
July 17, 2013Excessive exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation can lead to chemical poisoning. Like toxic metals, poisonous chemicals entering the body will decrease the functioning of its organs. The body's immune system is threatened by these chemicals and will try to cleanse itself of these poisons. Damage to the liver can occur if your body cannot rid itself of these toxins.
Mercury Rising Everywhere
January 14, 2013If mercury is the source of autism, it may be for Alzheimer's disease and diabetes as well as a long list of other neurological disorders.
Symptoms of Mercury Toxicity
February 21, 2013Mercury is a substance which has toxic effects and is stored in the liver, kidneys, spleen, and brain. It is eliminated from the body at an extremely slow rate. It is particularly the very long half-life of mercury in the brain (approx. 18 years) which justifies the assertion that, once mercury has reached the brain, essential amounts of it will not leave this organ during the remaining life of the patient.

The Proposal by Mary Balogh
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
What I loved about this story was the fact that the hero (shy yet strong and family-oriented) puts aside his own feelings and decides that he needs to marry to advance his sister's prospects. With the help of friends he meets and begins to court a widow who has a physical handicap. The love story that evolves shows that what's on the inside is far more important than what's on the the outside.
The thing I couldn't stand about this book is the fact it felt SO MODERN. Language, opinions, attitudes, actions, scenery, NOTHING made me feel that I was reading a historical novel other than knowing it was one. I have no idea if this is a common theme in Balogh's works as this is my first, but I am not eager to try her again. I read regencies for the absorption in the time period.
Hugo is used to his quiet, middle class life. Even when he's given the title of a Lord and all the money that comes with it after leading a suicide mission during the war that helped his side win, Hugo can't stand that lavish lifestyle. However, with his new title comes a duty and he knows he must find a wife soon. And Gwendoline is the last person who wants that role. After her husband died, Gwen is perfectly content to live her widowed life in society with her friends and family. But when Hugo rescues her from a nasty fall, nurses her back to health, and shows up at her home to ask for her help with his sister, there's no denying this Lord is captivating. Is Gwen ready to settle down again, and could Hugo really have found the woman he's always wanted?
From the very beginning, you know Hugo and Gwen's relationship is going to be entertaining. As soon as they meet, Hugo is hard-headed and Gwen isn't going to let a man throw her around. As they butt heads, their banter is so fun and I love how they can let their true selves show with each other instead of always being proper and perfect.
Hugo and Gwen's relationship doesn't start off too well, so I loved watching their relationship grow and how they fall for each other as the story progresses. Two people as stubborn as Gwen and Hugo couldn't be more perfect for each other. Though this book lacked any extreme "wow" moments, it was still a sweet read. The addition of the side stories and romances of the other characters was cute and let us get to know everyone in the main characters' lives.
While this one wasn't the best historical romance I've read, it was a sweet, easy read that I still enjoyed. The way the characters interacted was fun and the historical London society was perfect. For an enjoyable historical romance, go ahead and pick up Mary Balogh's latest release. Now, all I can do is wait for the second book in the series to come out in August. I can't wait to read Vincent's story next!
I have to say that it's not too a surprising a plot - a wealthy titled member of England's upper class literally discovers a damsel in distress. However, Mary Balough's excellent writing takes a tried and true formula to new heights.
Excellent writing, good plot development, humor. . . and a romance. What's not to like?

The Life of the Party
Hobsbawm arrived at Cambridge University's King's College in the halcyon days of Noel Annan, Maynard Keynes and E.M. Forster, and clearly flourished there. He actually took Forster to a performance by Lenny Bruce, an encounter of which one would dearly love to have the transcript. There were still plenty of Darwins, Ricardos, Huxleys and Stracheys among the undergraduates; but though Hobsbawm came, unusually, from a lowly grammar school rather than a posh private school, he was elected a member of the celebrated Apostles' Club, which numbered Tennyson, Russell and Wittgenstein among its former luminaries. The émigré Jewish leftist Hobsbawm was not entirely bedazzled by Cambridge; in a masterly little pen-portrait of the then-provost of King's, he sketches the malice and bitchery "behind the mask of camp senile benevolence." Even so, he had arrived among the English upper-middle classes, and was never to betray any particular discomfort in this suave, soft-toned company.
The Communist Party that Hobsbawm joined in the 1930s was the kind of outfit in which you would abandon your spouse if the Central Committee instructed you to. Indeed, Hobsbawm realized that he was no longer a pukka Communist when he was able to contemplate having a sexual relationship with someone who was not a potential party recruit, a feeling one might still find today among recovering Mormons or repentant Jehovah's Witnesses. He seems to have had few illusions about Stalinism from the outset, while apparently feeling few qualms about belonging to a Stalinist party whose record was littered with sordid betrayals of working-class militancy. Like most of his political tendency and generation, he was mostly bemused by 1968, though open-mindedly so. It was his passion for jazz that lent him a touch more sympathy for youth subcultures than most of the reactionary old party hacks of the day. He was for ten years the jazz critic of The New Statesman, writing under the pseudonym Francis Newton, in homage to Frankie Newton, a renowned Communist jazz trumpeter of the 1930s. To remain a party member, he tells us, was to stay true to the memory of the October Revolution and the struggle against fascism; but these admirable sentiments were scarcely a monopoly of the CPs. In fact, it was in the name of the October Revolution that a good many socialists fought against what the Communist Party stood for.
Hobsbawm has been, all along, a Popular Frontist--even as late as the 1980s, when he campaigned against "extreme" leftists in the Labour Party and for an anti-Thatcherite alliance with the Liberals. Inexplicable for a man who lived through the rise of Hitler, he tells us that Labour's electoral defeat at the hands of Thatcherism was "the saddest and most desperate [moment] of my political experience." He does not add that his own efforts to turn the Labour Party to the political right (hardly the most gargantuan of tasks) finally resulted in the advent of the very Blairism he detests--"Thatcherism in trousers," as he dubs it.
Hobsbawm has a good deal to feel gratified about. He is a historian of formidable influence, erudition and stylistic grace; a public figure feted from Bologna to Beijing, yet a man skilled in the subtle arts of personal friendship; a politico who has survived the most bloodstained century known to humanity, yet who has managed to relish his life in the process. He still retains his insatiable energy for parties, debate, travel and ideas. He is one of Aristotle's "men of virtue"--which is not to say that he is a saint, simply that he has thrived, excelled and exercised his prodigious talents to the full. Or, as he himself puts it in less grandly Aristotelian language, "It has been a lot of fun."
Even so, Interesting Times concludes on a sobering note. Hobsbawm is fond of the United States, but glad that he and his children do not live in a society that acknowledges no limits on its willingness to use its strength. The twenty-first century, he observed, "opens on twilight and obscurity." It is greatly to our loss that we shall not have his wisdom to guide us through it.

A Gilbert electronic security company that was started in 1991 by a Mesa High School graduate has grown into the 37th largest security system installer in the United States, and the company plans to quadruple the size of its headquarters.
Benson Systems started construction on a 40,000-square-foot office and warehouse building on more than three acres off Guadalupe Road between Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road.
The company, which specializes in fire control, security systems and closed-circuit television, has national accounts that include Target, Wal-Mart and Cox Communications.
While it has been delayed by rain and the town's permitting process, Benson, which is now in the Sunrise Business Park at Elliott Road and McQueen, hopes to open its new location in October. It has just under under 100 employees and plans to increase it's work force by 25 percent, said Paul Hodges, vice president of operations.
It looked at several locations including ones in Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale. Even though the company considered Scottsdale's cache, it decided to stay in Gilbert because it offers the same feeling for less money, Hodges said.
A 1982 graduate of Mesa High, Shawn Benson founded the company with $10,000 in savings and five employees.
Chandler stole a high-tech business from Gilbert.
Gem Microelectronics, a company that manufactures chemicals for etching on integrated circuit boards, plans to begin production this month in 40,000 square feet of new space at 6760 W. Chicago St. in west Chandler.
"It shows an interest in the high-technology market moving forward," said Christine Mackay, Chandler economic development specialist for industrial and office space. "We haven't seen any real growth in high-tech in a while."
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport officials plan to open the new D concourse Tuesday on the southwest side of Terminal 4.
The concourse will provide eight new gates for Southwest Airlines. For those who say the lines are too long and slow, the project will add a fourth security checkpoint to the airport's busiest terminal.
Passengers will be able to look at passing planes through several vintage, free-standing binoculars placed in front of a 30-foot-tall window wall, officials said. Compass tiles on the floor point to destinations around the globe, including 16 Phoenix sister cities.
Construction on the $50 million project began in October of 2003.
The Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau sent over a note to say SunBurst Resort completed a $9 million renovation and will change its name next month to Caleo Resort & Spa. Caleo is Latin for inspire with passion, the note says. Maybe so, but Sun-Burst is a lot easier to say and understand.

Shouldn't that say "one of the first graphical browsers"?
I don't really know the order things appeared but I thought Lynx was one of the first browsers - Lynx source distribution directory Best thing is that it's still current (latest update on the web site is just a few weeks old!)
According to this, lynx was a full 2yrs after the first NeXT browser
Web Browser History - First, Early
If you are after a good history guide - this is an excellent read:

This is a very interesting looking volume, published London in 1902. It is beautifully bound in green, full calf leather with gold tooling on the front, back, and spine, The spine is brown, and looks as though it has always been that color, but I suspect, from having seen this before, that the spine has been faded by sunlight, and that's why it's brown, if this is the case, one would never know it by looking at the spine, This volume has a Natural History Society Bookplate, and it measures 7 and 1/2 inches North to South, 5 and 1/2 inches East to West, and 1 and 1/2 inches thick. The pages are gilded, and the front and endpieces are in coordinating marbled paper, The text is very interesting, as it is references to Christ in all of Shakespeare's works, interpreted by Charles Ellis. This is a volume I have not seen before in my shopping,

Overcoming fear
This is the fourth of my crowd sourced blog entry ideas as suggested by Lani Pauli. Lani wanted to get my thoughts on the following: How to overcome the fear to take the leap and do your own thing.
I've written about this a few times. And I'll start by pointing out previous entries on De-gearing, Quit your job and The number 1 reason being an employee sucks. But to make things contemporaneous here's my thoughts on the topic today, off the top of my head.
Two important words come to mind when I think about the fear of pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors.
Having & Doing.
And as far as I can tell these two words are what we worry about when it comes to finance. We want to do cool stuff (like build a startup and pursue dreams), but in the short term it can have a big impact on our lifestyle and consumption patterns – the having part.
But most people don't realize this important fact until after they have made the leap:
"The having is in the doing"
In my view we often replace our dreams and goals with consumption. And society promotes this ideal. We use money and steady income as a means of consumption based happiness. When in reality, we'd be much happier if we just did what we wanted to and had greater fulfillment in the hours of our days.
We have to make a decision on what's more important to us; having lots of stuff and security, or doing cool things. I believe the latter creates a more enjoyable existence, and often leads to a virtuous circle where you realize how little we really need.
The real bonus is this: it's easier to be successful when you are really into what you spend your time on. And when success comes to entrepreneurs we get the best of both worlds.
Startup blog says: Dream chase now!
5 Responses
Hi Steve,
another interesting post! "The having is in the doing" totally agree with you on that except that there is a pretty huge dip inbetween doing and having as you'd know all startups face.
Two things that might help are:
1. Switching your view from instant gains (employee "i get paid i go shopping" mentality) to a time based perspective. eg. "Okay so I'll buy some goodies when I hit x goal in the business".
2. Protect the downside – which was one of Rene Rivkin's famous philosophies before he passed away. So you strip off all the frills and thrills and work out how much you need to survive + rainy day savings and make sure you got that much $$ coming in from some sort of income.
These two things have really helped me through the last 5 years in business and i'm sure they'll continue to carry me through any future rough patches.
Keep the wisdom flowing Champ!
Yes. Having less stuff is completely worth feeling of going after what you were made to do. As long as you can pay ur bills too.
Clare (@clarelancaster via twitter)
it makes me depressed. Doing what I really want to do is impossible without a bit of cash to keep it ticking along :o(
Jason Xolmer (@jaseygalore via twitter)
Yes, great post. I believe this is essentially the entrepreneurs' manifesto.

Anyone who has tried to wade through the multitude of iPod speakers on the market knows that the options are seemingly infinite, and that many of them are very difficult to distinguish from one another. So it's pretty refreshing when a company like mStation comes along and tries to offer something a bit different, first with the colorfully bulbous Stereo Orb and now with the lanky 2.1 Stereo Tower. Unfortunately, this tall speaker comes with a high-end price tag ($299), but without the excellent build quality. Still, for those looking for more oomph than the Bose SoundDock can offer, the Stereo Tower is a good alternative.

The world's biggest polluters are also the big economies. And with the alarming carbon emission levels of this planet, the brunt of the climate change is impacting more and worst on poor and developing countries that are made extra-vulnerable to natural disasters. Something has to be drastically done to address the situation. Hope the Conference of Polluters (COP17) in Durban, South Africa this December 2011 will make progress towards climate justice. I joined a peaceful people's rally on climate change near the US Embassy in Manila calling on these big economies like US and Japan to do something to reduce their carbon emissions and make reparations for the environmental impacts of their past actions that has largely contributed to the worsening issue of global warming and climate change. Doubled my redscaled shots with images of the effects of global warming. Then prior to developing, gave my roll a vinegar bath.This photo was shot on film. Taken by lakandula with a LCA+RL x Canon A1 loaded with Lomography XR Redscale 50-200 film in Kalaw St., Manila + Muntinlupa City, Philippines. These tags describe this photo: cana1, redscaled, doubled, experiment, rally, climate change, global, warming, effects, vinegar, and lca. Date: 2011-11-24. Time: Afternoon.

All quotes tagged Senses
(2943 quotes found)
"Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done."
"Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience."
"Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person."
"The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once"
"There is neither Self-knowledge nor Self-perception to those whose senses are not under control. Without Self-perception there is no peace; and without peace there can be no happiness."
"He's a man of great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage"
