SABusyKids: Almost Mother's Day and the Grinch in me is coming out
It's almost Mother's Day. Call me a stick in the mud, but I kind of dread this day every year. Call me Mommy Grinch. Personally, I think every day should be Mother's Day. Shouldn't I be loved, respected and showered with hearts and hugs all the time? Does having one special day a year make […]

Yes, Virginia, there really is a tooth fairy
Sometimes, you just don't see it coming. Tonight, my daughter lost a tooth. After celebrating by packing on a ski coat and some pillows and attempting to break dance on the floor, she nestled herself into my arms and fell sound asleep. I sat for the good part of an hour just cuddling her, practically […]

Peace and quiet. Terrifying, isn't it?
Laundry time. Loads and loads. Laid out, warm and ready to be folded. It's actually the one household task I enjoy. I don't even want the kids to help. Wait. The kids. They're in the other room…and it's quiet. These are the moments that send fear rippling through a mom's heart. Strike that. Terror. It […]

Edition specific details:
I was so impressed I purchased the .mp3 software as well. I consult a few radio stations and it is the perfect solution for data-basing and searching songs that aren't loaded into their existing
automation software and playing from a second tower through the broadcast console during request shows.
Again thanks."
I was successful in downloading the program into my Sony Vaio and then I did the same thing with my Apple computer with no trouble.
I was just printing my list of 64 films that I have integrated with no major troubles. It is so easy especially when you are a little bit familiar with such applications.
So congratulations, you have made just another happy customer with me. My next step is to buy a storage system, either mecanical or electrical found on Amazon. but I will do that after New Years...
So thanks again, it is very rare to receive such close attention from the sellers these days; it's refreshing; just keep doing it; it's appreciated."
First let me say I have been searching for sometime now for a better way to ensure that I don't repurchase DVD's I already own. I have a collection of DVD's and Bluerays of well over 2000 titles so remembering them is getting hard! I found this program while searching for a video store system thinking that was the only way I would be able to keep track of what titles I have and who I have loaned them to friend wise.
The software is a amazing, it's easy to use and simple to follow. I am amazed at how very little time it takes for a newbie to pick it up and run with creating a list. I now have all my movies listed and with the added iPhone app CLZ Movies, I can now ensure that I take my collection list everywhere I go!
The communication from the Collectorz team has been second to none, making me feel like I not only purchased a great functioning software I am part of a greater community. I have no hesitation in recommending this awesome software bundle to anyone, it not only saves you money (from repurchasing titles) it saves you time (taking them back to the store because you already own them!)
Look forward to the next release guys! Keep up the great work!"
I have currently approx 1,250 movies in my collection (with more to add) and having access to the collection via the Clz iPhone app is fantastic!
As a workaround I had been printing my Collection to a pdf list and then loading that on my iPhone via a "files" app, but having the Clz app is the only way to go, it's a must have for any collector!!
On the strength of you comp upgrade I have also just purchased Music Collector Pro. It will be my next project after I get my Movie Collection fully up to-date."
Finally a dream came true.
Collectorz create the very software I needed for my crazy hobby.
Collectorz made the process of entering all my movies seamless and quick. Not only can I categorize, print and enter my movies in an expedient manner, my co-workers can now browse my movie library
I have not finished adding my movies, but I must tell you, it has not only been fun using the barcode scanner, but entering the movie titles manually has also been rewarding.
Trust me when I say this software is excellent and well worth the price of convenience.
Keep up the good work...."
Thanks a Great Product."
I have my two grandchildren living with me and all of us love our movies. I have some 3-4 thousand; some on VHS, Laser, DVD and now the start of something really great - Blue Ray.
One of my grandkids will yell, where is Monkey Trouble and off I go to see if I can find that one, even though I have a somewhat-organized alphabet list. Your program gives me the topping on the cake because I can now go a step further and tell them a bit of what the movie is about and even show them a picture of the cover on the movie.
You have done a marvelous job and someone "Up There" must have led me to your website.
As I say, I hope this e-mail gets to you to let you know your hard work over the years will be appreciated by me and I will pass the word to get you some more business - for this product and others that you have available."
I just bought an IPod a few months ago, I spent last night playing with the program and also found the box set option to be very useful; I have quite a few collection sets yet I list the movies individually so finding them now is much easier. My dvd collection is borderline insane, and I have been carrying a list with me to ensure no duplicates. This makes keeping and maintaining my inventory and keeping track of loans almost effortless giving me more time to watch movies.
I myself have been programming since 1985 and was so glad somebody else has gone to all the work putting Movie Collector together. I can appreciate what it involves.
Keep up the GREAT work; I can't wait to see what's next !"
My home was burglarized and I would have had trouble providing a list of all the movies I had to the police and insurance company. However, thanks to your program I had a comprehensive list and they will reimburse me for all the movies (Almost $17,000 worth!). Bless you!"
For years now I've been laboriously cataloguing my DVDs (current count about 580) using Microsoft Access, for insurance purposes if nothing else.
Your software has turned what had become a chore into an obsession! It's just such a comprehensive and powerful tool, and the end result is just so damn sexy! Being able to export to the web with a click of the mouse is just fantastic, and makes the database so much more secure and accessible.
The program is so well designed that I've barely even glanced at the help files - everything is just so easy to work out. How you guys read my mental wishlist I don't know, but please keep up the great work!"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
白鶴拳 | |
Fujian White Crane | |
Mandarin: | Bái Hè Quán |
Amoy Min Nan: | Pe̍h-ho̍h-kûn |
Literally | "white crane fist" |
White Crane Style (Chinese: 白鶴拳) is a Southern Chinese martial art which originated in Fujian (福建) province and is now practiced throughout the world. According to oral traditions, the creation of this style is attributed to Fāng Qīniáng (方七娘; Amoy Min Nan: Hng Chhit-niâ), a female martial artist. The characteristics of this style are deep rooted stances, intricate hand techniques and fighting mostly at close range [1] as if to imitate a pecking bird. The flying crane style however has a greater amount of long range techniques although it too does prefer close quarters hand oriented combat, which simulates the flapping of the wings. Some white crane styles also use a great variety of traditional weapons whereas others have discontinued practice with ancient weaponry.[2]
Fujian White Crane is an imitative-style of Shaolin Boxing based on the characteristics of the Taiwanese Crane. An entire system of fighting was developed based on the observations of their movement, fighting abilities and spirit. There are five other famous animals of Shaolin Boxing: the Tiger, Monkey, Leopard, Snake and Dragon, as well as lesser known ones such as Dog, Deer, Bear, etc.

Wushu influence |
The Fāng family lived in Fujian province, China, in a place where there were many cranes.
Qīniáng's father knew the Southern Chinese martial arts and taught them to his daughter.
One day, while Qīniáng was doing her chores, a crane alighted nearby.
Qīniáng tried to scare the bird off using a stick and the skills she learned from her father but whatever she did, the crane would counter.
Qīniáng tried to hit the crane on the head, but the bird moved its head out of the way and blocked the stick with its wings.
Qīniáng tried to hit the crane's wings, but the crane stepped to the side and this time blocked with the claws of its feet. Qīniáng tried to poke the crane's body, but the crane dodged backwards and struck the stick with its beak.
From then on, Qīniáng carefully studied the movements of cranes and combined these movements with the martial arts she learned from her father, creating the White Crane style of Fujian province.
There are many versions of this legend, some in which the crane does not block the stick Qīniáng used; but it evaded, and countered. The point of the style is to make less use of physical strength, stressing evasion and attacks to vulnerable areas instead. White crane fighting elements are popular, especially in women's self-defense, because they don't depend on strength and women are better able to imitate the pecking motion so common in the crane style of fighting.[citation needed] Popular karate bunkai (breakdown) of white crane katas like hakutsuru, stress vital point striking or kyusho.
Over time White Crane branched off into 5 styles:
Chinese | Pinyin | Minnan | ||
Sleeping Crane Fist | 宿鶴拳 | sù hè quán | siok4 hoh8 kun5 | also known as Jumping, or Ancestral Crane |
Crying Crane Fist | 鳴鶴拳 | míng hè quán | beng5 hoh8 kun5 | also known as Calling, Whooping, or Shouting Crane |
Feeding Crane Fist | 食鶴拳 | shí hè quán | chiah8 hoh8 kun5 | also known as Morning Crane |
Flying Crane Fist | 飛鶴拳 | fēi hè quán | hui1 hoh8 kun5 | aka fei hok kuen |
Shaking Crane Fist | 縱鶴拳 | zong hè quán | hui1 hoh8 kun5 | aka jun hok kuen |
According to the traditions of the Lee family branch of Flying Crane, Fāng Qīniáng was born in the mid-18th century.
According to its traditions, the lineage of the Ong Gong Shr Wushuguan in the town of Yǒngchūn (永春; Minnan: eng2 chhun1) in the prefecture of Quanzhou in Fujian Province was established when Fāng Qīniáng taught its founders during the reign of the Ming emperor Jiāzhèng (嘉政). However, there was no Ming emperor Jiāzhèng (嘉政); there was a Ming emperor Jiājìng (嘉靖), who ruled from 1521 to 1566.
Lǐ Wénmào (李文茂), a historically verifiable opera performer and leader in the 1854–1856 Red Turban Rebellion in Foshan, is said to have practiced the Yǒngchūn style of White Crane.
The Xu-Xi Dao style of White Crane as taught by Chen Zuo Zhen (Chen Zhuo Zhen) is described with pics on www.chinesemartialarts.eu > White Crane Style. The Xu-Xi Dao style derives from Zhong-Ho 'Springing Crane' and was developed in Taiwan by Huang Lao-Yang in the 1950s.
The lineage of Feeding Crane in Taiwan:
Fujian White Crane is one of the constituent styles of Five Ancestors.[3]
Five Ancestors as well as various styles of Karate, notably Goju-ryu, Chitō-ryū and Uechi-ryu, obtained the routine San Chian / San Zhan (Mandarin) from Fujian White Crane. San Chian is best known by the Japanese pronunciation of its name: Sanchin. [4]

DEVELOPING: LAX shooter identified as 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia
POSTED: Friday, November 1, 2013 - 10:52am
UPDATED: Friday, November 1, 2013 - 8:06pm
LOS ANGELES (CNN) — UPDATE (3:37 P.M.): The shooter who opened fire at LAX has been identified as 23-year-old, Paul Anthony Ciancia. Accprding to NBC, Ciancia had "strong anti-government views" based on the literature that he was carrying with him. Nodatabase indicates that Ciancia was on a watch list and the shooters home has not been searched.
UPDATE FROM CNN (1:30pm): A former Los Angeles Police Department ranking officer gave this account of Friday morning's Los Angeles International Airport shooting, citing discussions the former officer had with investigators: The shooter walked to the security checkpoint, pulled out a concealed assault rifle and shot the TSA agent; the shooter then went through the checkpoint, and a police officer shot the shooter. The source arrived at the scene shortly after the incident.
UPDATE (12:54): NBC News reports that a TSA employee was shot and killed in the LAX shooting incident on Friday morning.
A person with a firearm at Los Angeles International Airport approached a checkpoint at Terminal 3 and opened fire Friday morning at a Transportation Security Administration agent, a former Los Angeles Police Department ranking officer who arrived at the scene shortly after the incident told CNN. Multiple shots were fired, the source said.
Details are still coming into the newsroom. We will post more information as we get it.
UPDATE (12:40pm): A suspect has been shot and is in police custody after Friday's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport, a law enforcement source close to the investigation tells CNN's Miguel Marquez.
ORIGINAL STORY: Parts of Los Angeles International Airport were being evacuated Friday morning after reports of shots being fired there, police said. Authorities are reporting that this is a "multi-patient incident".
Airport officials said a police incident began about 9:30 a.m. at Terminal 3 at LAX, airport spokeswoman Nancy Suey Castles said.
Passenger Robert Perez, who was getting ready to fly Virgin Air, was taking a nap in the terminal when panic erupted, he told CNN affiliate KCAL/CBS.
"I heard a popping sound, and everybody was diving for cover," Perez told the station. "The TSA said there was a shooting in the terminal and evacuate the building."
At least 100 people came down a staircase. "Everybody started to panic," Perez said.
The passengers were directed to board a bus and were taken to a smaller terminal, he told the affiliate.
A "ground stop" has been issued for planes scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday. A ground stop means flights destined for the affected airport are held at their departure point, according to the FAA.
KETK will update this with more information as soon as it becomes available.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: Bill BerneDate: March 22, 1997 at 07:44:18
Dr D.I have an autoimmune disorder called chronic inflammatory demeylenating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and you guessed it- I'm an OI had been introduced to your plan by D khader last year, but I am now able to follow the O plan since I purchased yor book.I have been following the plan for two weeks now. At that same time I began a treatment of 60mg/d prednisone. Within a few days of starting, my symptoms hve significantly diminished. Although I would love to attribute this strictly to the diet plan,I am sure the prednisone is having some effect. I am convinced that the diet plan has helped to virtually eliminate the potentialnegative side effects of the prednisone, and maximise it's performance. I would like to know if you have any suggestions for taperingoff the prednisone and/or any alterations to the Type O plan while on prednisone? I am interested in visiting you in your office. Can you advise the best way to schedule an apointment.Thank you,Bill

Tom Cruise Will Reportedly Pay Millions In Child Support
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Its hard to say there are winners in a divorce, but if one had to be chosen in the Tom Cruise/ Katie Holmes split, it would probably be the dude who wrote the prenup. In contentious break-ups, prenuptial agreements are almost always challenged, if for no other reason than to gain one more piece of leverage in settlement negotiations, but sources close to this ugly divorce have said from practically the moment she filed there was little hope in her getting any sort of big payday. All the language was supposedly rock solid, and if the newest reports are to be believed, it was even more aggressive than any of us may have realized.
According to TMZ, Holmes isnt walking away with any money from the split. Shell carry with her exactly what she brought into the marriage, which, luckily for her, is more than enough to live off. Suri, on the other hand, will reportedly walk away with plenty. The final child support figures have not been released publically, but sources close to the negotiation are putting the figure at just shy of one million dollars a year for the next twelve years. That should be more than enough for Katie and Suri to get a place wherever theyd like to live while maintaining all the comforts and levels of security the two have become accustomed to. Holmes has long argued she didnt marry Cruise for his money. Considering the prenup she signed, that claim now seems completely believable. |

--- Honestly, there are huge amounts of luring methods still very possible in runescape today. Through the years, many lures have been patched, however so many more have taken place. Billions of gp and great numbers of rares and valuables have been taken from people through laws - some involving bugs, some not. People may argue that luring is simply an act, or an idea to outsmart people for rewards. Others claim that lures are unfair, horrible tricks played on other players for the reason of greed. As I've witnessed few lures in my many years of runescape yet I've seen many videos, I would still agree that luring is simply a smart 'technique' in order to cleverly trick people, though I have never lured myself. Imho, in fact, I would probably say that people who fall for lures deserve to lose what they risk (unless bug abuse has taken place to cause them to lose their items). --- Please tell me what you think about luring. Post your ideas on: • Whether you think luring should or shouldn't be against the rules. • Have you ever lured OR been lured? (Post what you made/lost) • As bad as luring may be, do you think it deserves to be a reportable offence? --- TL;DR Luring. Discuss. --- |
You need to remember there are young children that play this game. Children that may not understand that there are people that will use certain techniques to take their items. It isn't a question of people being dumb, some people can be caught off guard when it comes to how people approach them. It may be through other legitimate channels. I've never been a victim, and the majority of methods are easily spotted, but I don't think it is fair to simply brand those that have been victims as dumb. But besides that, it just isn't nice - it doesn't help player interaction when you're suspicious of people trying to lure you, even if they're legitimate. It just doesn't make for a very nice community when we start to see activities such as luring as 'ok'. I think it should be bannable, however, it may be hard to prove and add quite a work load to Jagex's player services team. These people have no interest in being courteous to other people in an online mmo, and that is the wrong type of game to play if you're that sort of person. |
"TL;DR Luring. Discuss." ----------------- HAHAHA! That's funny. Anyways. I don't really think it should be against the rules because I think we ought to have as much freedom as is possible, but at the same time, SOMETHING needs to be done about it to maintain a tight community, as the community aspect of runescape adds a lot to the game. ('Course this opinion will look odd after reading my next thought, lol.) As for myself, I'm such a non-social player that I never seem to be in the situation to BE lured. I'm usually either ignoring everyone or on a quick chat world. (I'm actually currently trying to get back into the social side of things.) ---------- "You need to remember there are young children that play this game." ---------- I totally agree with you on this point, but I just have to mention (in a vague sort of rant-y like thing) that a lot of people would scoff at this, saying that little kids ought not to be playing. Which offends me.... |
Couldn't care less about lurers because only idiots are stupid enough to get lured (and I'm not one of them). |
Fair comments guys, however this game is 13+ and the community has grown much more mature as you can tell by Jagex releasing the profanity filter option. Regardless of this, I agree that young children are actually very common in runescape but, as dumb as it sounds, getting lured for their items could teach them valuable lessons about trust. But that's just my opinion. |
Doesn't take much logic to be able to lure and I'm sure kids try to lure too. |
Profanity filter doesn't suggest much as you can still get reported by kiss-ass-kids for offensive language, so I don't see the purpose in it. |
'Course, then again, it IS just a game.... (Dare I say it.) And, besides, if you get scammed, well heck, that's a life experience. Like you said, you'll learn something from it. Angry James: Yeah, but if you're with a group of people who you know won't have a cow if you use profane words, then you have the option to do so. Say, in your clan or something, where there are hopefully not many goody-two-shoes who'll report you... |
Have I Been Lured: Yes How Much Did You Loose: 8 Million GP Should It Be Bannable: No What Is Your Opinion On This Subject: I was lured a long time ago when luring first properly came into the game back in the Old Wildy, and we are talking before we had the wilderness ditch as well remember. If you had asked me back then, i would have been outraged at luring and demanded it shouldn't be allowed. However, my opinion has changed over time and partly because i was just a KID back then. It's true that you learn from mistakes. Back then it wasn't down to stupidity, it was more lack of knowledge (due to not having the wilderness wall). Nowadays, we have the wall and that alone should stop any lurers, except the tele-other method. Therefore, i now believe that it is down to stupidity only that you would get lured. Overall, i believe there is nothing wrong with outsmarting someone, so the answer would be, No it shouldn't be bannable and should remain how it is. |
@Mivim Thanks for your very honest comment I'm glad I'm not the only person who sees luring as something people can learn alot from. |

If there's one person in Hip Hop who never bites their tongue for no one, that'd be rapper/producer/actor David Banner, who over time has been a strong advocate for numerous of civil rights issues in communities, and more importantly, spoken up against the shifty bubble-gum direction Hip Hop has undergone throughout the years (on his LP with 9th Wonder: Death of a Pop Star.) The Mississippi native can now add movie critic to his ever-growing resume, as he has taken on the daunting task of penning and dissecting the Tuskegee Airmen inspired film Red Tails for Black Enterprise's site, which over the past weekend came in second at the box office–racking up a solid $19.1 million dollars. In any event, when films about our African American culture are put onto the big screen, it always stands to ruffle some feathers–simply because of Hollywood politics and imprecise depictions. However, I myself have yet to make my way to a nearby theater to see this monumental flick, but since D. Banner lets his words and the ink do the talking, let's thoroughly read what he thinks of the film down below (you can read the rest here or in its entirety under):
There's much that can be said about and learned from the recently released George Lucas film, Red Tails. First and foremost, this is a movie that MUST be supported. Whether you show your support for the long overdue story of the Tuskegee Airmen, for the mostly Black cast, or for the tremendous efforts of Lucas himself in bringing this story to light, once again this is a movie that needs to be supported. There are however some critiques that can and should be made about the movie, but in the end, the success of Red Tails has far-reaching implications that will reverberate through and potentially alter the course of Black filmmaking.
The Movie
Red Tails is the brainchild of Hollywood icon George Lucas, creator of both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones sagas. Set during World War II, the film is loosely based on the experiences of the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pilots in the segregated 332nd fighter group. It follows the experiences (both combat and life experiences) of a group of pilots stationed at a U.S. airfield in Italy in 1944. Bearing the burden of the blatant and institutionalized racism within the military at that time, the fighters of the 332nd were relegated to menial and inconsequential missions compared to their White counterparts. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were granted the more prestigious and dangerous ground attacks, air cover and bomber escort missions. It was their impeccable record of escorting bombers that made them legendary among pilots in general.
While the plot of Red Tails was intense, dramatic, and lighthearted it was also at times cliché and predictable. Whether it was the death of one character or the escape from death of another, the foreshadowing of those events just seemed too blatant. Speaking of characters, I often felt that I wanted to know more about the back-story of the men on screen. While there were surface dynamics provided, a more in depth treatment of the characters, their back-stories and experiences with a racist military structure—outside of Col. Bullard's (Terrence Howard) meetings with military brass—could have helped me identify more with the characters. I even found myself put-off by some of the basic artistic aspects of the film (i.e. unnecessary and awkward accents, or even the font of the credits at the beginning of the film). In truth, I felt that the story left me unfulfilled and wanting more.
With that said, my critique of the film must be put in the proper context. The gaps in the storyline and the lack of in-depth character development reflect the shear amount of material the director, writers and producers attempted to include in the film. Trying to cover the realities of war, incredible fight scenes, a love story, character nuances and the racial-political realities of the military in a two-hour movie is certainly challenging. The story of the Tuskegee Airmen themselves—their triumphs, their tragedies, their battles in combat and their battles at home—is too great a story to be condensed into a two-hour time frame. It is for this reason that Lucas himself is on record as saying that he plans to produce both a sequel (covering the experiences of the pilots after returning home) and a prequel (documenting their flight training at Tuskegee University) if Red Tails proves to be successful.
In the end, the movie itself, though simplistic and at times "corny," was inspiring. The battle scenes were superb and the film certainly evoked emotion and identification with the airmen themselves. My criticisms aside, it is certainly a movie that MUST be seen, a movie that MUST be supported and a story that MUST be told.
The Development of the Movie
Much has been said (and should be said) about the role of George Lucas in making this film, but be very clear, this is a Black movie. In the promoting and reporting on Red Tails, the major theme has been the mostly Black cast, and the lack of a White actor in a major capacity in this film. This alone should be applauded, but what gets lost in the discussion is the fact that the director, the co-writers (including Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder) and the music director (New Orleans' own Terrence Blanchard) are also Black. Furthermore, while developing the idea for the movie in the late '80s, Thomas Carter, Lucas' first choice for director, is Black and it was reported that Samuel L. Jackson was at one time in discussions to direct and star in the film. The point is that at every turn in the development and production of Red Tails, George Lucas sought Black talent to tell an authentic and dignified Black story. For that he should be applauded.
The Impact of the Movie
The box office reports are in for opening weekend and it's official, Red Tails can be declared a box office success, coming in second place over the weekend with over $19 million in ticket sales. The box office receipts point to several realities:
First, and arguably most important, these numbers show that a big budget, dignified movie with a mostly Black cast can make money. The inability of this type of movie to draw dollars was the primary reason given to Lucas as to why no major studio in Hollywood would back the movie.
Secondly, the success of a movie like Red Tails shows that a wide variety of images of the Black community can be embraced on film. Historically, depictions of our community have consistently reinforced servant, buffoon, criminal and deviant themes. Red Tails shows that a heroic, distinguished and uplifting representation of our community is marketable.
Lastly, the efforts of Lucas himself are particularly instructive. Nearly a quarter century of rejection by every major studio in Hollywood was not enough to deter Lucas from his goal of providing "real heroes" for American teenagers—presumably Black teenagers. In addition to his telling a quality Black story, Lucas also seemed determined to put Blacks in positions critical to creating and telling the story (director, writer, composer, etc.) His dedication to this story—and indirectly to the redefining of Black images—was confirmed when it became clear that if he wanted this story told, he would have to fund it himself. In the face of such an obstacle, Lucas literally "put his money where his mouth is," by funding the project with money out of his own pocket (to the tune of $96 million) to not only get the movie made but distributed as well. This act alone speaks to his sincerity and determination in bringing this type of story to the big screen.
With Red Tails Lucas has also taught a lesson to the Black filmmaking community. This lesson is, the selfless and dogmatic commitment to redefining Black images and telling quality, uplifting Black stories, is a blueprint that every Black filmmaker should study and emulate.

As you know, I like supporting debut authors (especially from Queensland) so here's Dimity Powell. Dimity just launched her Christmas chapter book for children, PS: Who Stole Santa's Mail?
Q. Dimity, how did you become a writer?
A. Apart from hand written letters to pen friends and family (remember those?) and keeping detailed diaries from the age of 21, I never really committed to writing stories again for a while. Later, after the dizzying pace of travelling around the globe, and the tedious routine of shift work all lost their shine, I settled down to raise a family and discovered that in between baby's sleep times, I had time to write again. So I did a long distance course in children's writing, and managed to get a short story accepted by the School Magazine in NSW. I thought this was encouraging, so, gave up all ideas of going back to my marketing position for a house boating company I was working with prior to motherhood, and assumed the title of Children's Author.
Q: Did you have the manuscript professionally edited before it went to the publisher?
A: I did submit it to Sally Odger's 'Paperback in Your Hand Competition' where it received a substantial assessment.
Q. Is there something that sets this book apart from others?
A. I'm fairly sure the premise of disappearing mail boxes is an original one, even if the question of believing in Santa is not. There is an element of magical fantasy about Sam's quest (which to me is the essence of Christmas); it's a little surreal but the situations he finds himself in are real, honest and not overly cute.
Q. Who is your favourite author and why?
A. I don't have favourites. I have ones I really admire and enjoy reading – Elaine Mitchell, Enid Blyton, (as a kid) Pamela Allen, Peter Carnavas, Bob Graham, (for their sublime picture books) Morris Gleitzmann, Paul Jennings, MGB, (to name a few) Clive Barker, Edward Rutherford, Marcus Zusak (for good meaty adult reads), because in some way, on some level, their writing moves me so much so that it becomes almost impossible to leave the world they have written (for me).
Q. Some writers have a preferred writing schedule. Do you?
A. Not really. I write when I can and when a really strong urge to do so strikes. This might be late at night. But more often, it is during the day, when I'm home alone, in a silent house. I don't often write on the weekends.
Q. Do you have a favourite place to write?
A. My study nook is not much chop. There are no windows and a noticeable absence of pretty things on the walls. It's cold in winter and stifling in summer. But it's where most of the tapping out happens. At least I am not distracted. But I tend to use the spare 'box' room, which has comfy couch and book shelves crammed with books and lots of handmade glittery photo frames from my daughter.
A lot of my writing starts with me on the couch (or sometimes outside in the garden) scribbling by hand in pencil before I get anywhere near the computer. Perhaps one day I'll get a lap-top but writing long hand somehow allows my mind, words and hand to all keep up with each other better. I focus on getting the words out rather than typing a correct sentence.
Thank you, Dimity for your thoughtful and interesting comments. I wish you well on your blog tour and also with your new book. :)
In conjunction with this blog tour, you can go in the draw to win one of three copies of the book PS: Who Stole Santa's Mail.
Send the answer to this question: 'What do you think Santa wants for Christmas?' to firstname.lastname@example.com In the subject line put, PS: WSSM entry.
The competition will close at midnight on November 30th 2012. All entries will be assigned a number, and that number will be put in a draw. The winners will be notified by email. The book can be purchased at your local bookshop. If it is not in stock, ask them to order it for you. A signed copy can also be purchased from http://morrispublishingaustralia.com.

Stephen Gillett Leaves Sinking-Ship Best Buy for Symantec
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In a Dec. 10 article on TheStreet, I all but directly predicted it:
Trust me. People across spaces, particularly in tech and retail with a pulse respect this guy. It's time for Best Buy's Board to wake up and do likewise. If its doesn't, he'll simply move on to a company where he actually has a real chance to incite change.
This guy is Stephen Gillett, former head of digital and CIO at Starbucks (SBUX) and most recently EVP and president, Best Buy Digital, Global Marketing and Strategy at Best Buy (BBY - Get Report).
Now he joins Symantec (SYMC - Get Report), where he had previously served on the Board of Directors, as EVP and COO.
This is sad day for Best Buy investors. If the company's recent moves -- hiring Gillett only to stifle his ability to innovate by loading him with responsibility, yet very little meaningful carte blanche and a SWOT analysis consultant as CEO named Hubert Joly -- are indicative of the attitude over there, and I think they are, Best Buy goes the way of Circuit City.
The stock had potential as a long-term buy with Gillett in the picture. It became clear, however, with the hiring of Joly, that Best Buy's board simply doesn't have the capacity, foresight or, frankly, the stones to position Gillett as CEO and undisputed leader the way Yahoo! (YHOO) did Marissa Mayer. Now, the stock is worse than a strong sell; you should take the name off of your radar. Don't touch it with your worst enemy's ten-foot pole and especially his or her trading platform. Best Buy will fail as a retail company whereas it could have and should have given itself a fighting chance by morphing into a tech company like Starbucks. Symantec and Silicon Valley's gain is yet another loss -- and abject failure -- for Best Buy.

The Microsoft Surface "mini" (or whatever Microsoft ends up calling it) will ship this year, a bit after Microsoft releases new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 models, according to Paul Thurrott at Supersite for Windows.
The Surface mini is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm processor, running Windows RT 8.1, (not Windows 8.1) and feature an 8-inch screen.
Microsoft has been discounting and in some cases bundling its Cover keyboard accessories. But it's not known if such deals will continue with the new models.
Microsoft recently confirmed that Windows 8.1 will be publicly available starting October 18. A raft of new Windows 8.1-powered tablets are expected to be released around that time, sporting 8-inch and 10.6-inch displays as well as other form factors, in time for the holiday shopping season.

Remember... these are the people that some of you have no problem with coming into our country, stealing our resources, taking welfare, free health care, etc... http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070619-121814-2527r.htm Illegals light border fires to sidetrack U.S. agents By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES June 19, 2007 U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.
You are retarded if you think anyone here, from any political spectrum, gladly welcomes news like this. Mr. Genius, try to think past not just strengthening the borders: what do you propose to do with the dozen million illegals *already here*?
Like this guy? http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1634215,00.html Oops, turns out he was a citizen!
Sounds like we lost a good one there The wording : "Michael Guzman said his parents were from Mexico, but seven children, including Pedro, were born in California" makes it sound like he's a citizen based on birth in this country to illegals (as assumption but I bet I'm right) which we need to cut out too.
Are you out of your mind? He's a US citizen. Period. Not only would you need to change the law, you'd need to amend the constitution. Or is this one of those cases where you're OK ignoring the constitution because you don't like what it says? His mother, by the way, seems to be a US citizen as well, as evidenced by the US consulate's assistance (they can only assist nationals). But the point remains: you can't ignore the law, you can only change it.
You just have no sense of humor do you ? I guess sarcasm doesn't come across too well here We need to change the law. Until then, we shouldn't be deporting "citizens" but mistakes are made with everything that doesn't mean we should stop doing anything. Should Brady quit playing if he throws an interception ? What I suggested is what we should do and we should do it as accurately as possible.
Seal the border, enforce the laws on the books, and as you find them, deport them. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3. Sadly though, political BS, and overall government inefficiency make the easy impossible. Instead, we get sell-outs pushing policy, hacks reciting talking points, and appologists screaming racism. Welcome to the Banana Republic, and sadly, I'm not talking about the clothing store.
The "we can't deport the ones that are already here" thing seems to have about 95% agreement among those on TV. I think Pat Buchanan and probably Hannity are the only ones I've seen who disagree.
It's a sell out talking point. No one wants to say we can deport them because Latino's would get pissed. This Bill, and issue, is the single biggest scam the citizens of this country will ever have pulled over on them. If this bill passes, a couple of years from now, when everyone is processed, you're going to see some 30+ million people given these "Z" visas. It's the reality no one really discusses. That 12 million figure people throw out will easily be doubled. Plus, the bill states that the Amnestied criminals will be able to bring in family that haven't infiltrated us yet. Banana Republic I say.
Where did I say anyone in here welcomes news like this..? All I am saying is these illegals are the people that you and your ilk want to overflow our country. Talk about someone being retarded...
Don't fall for that old "humanity sh!t" from those damn democrats, they want the 12 million votes. Bush wants 12 million slaves for the Scabby low wage Employers. FIGHT BACK :bricks:
12 million new Democrats is bound to mean another Kennedy in the White House.:rocker: I wonder if Joe (as in 'For Oil') can be coaxed out of political retirement?
Dude, Joe is going to take Teddy's seat as soon as he takes a political dirt nap. That's the word I've heard anyhow, and I've been hearing it from people I know involved in Mass. politics.
WHY IS AMERIKA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? IT'S BECAUSE OF THE NORTH AMERIKAN UNION. BOTTOM LINE... http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/
Well said, a problem that will not go away and haunt this group of wishy washy leaders for generations.
Excellent observation of the kind of element that would start a war inside America if they could. Every group has its bad apples, and those crossing the border -- especially while doing it ILLEGALLY -- are no exception. Some very nasty dudes are working the US-Mexican border. It's a very serious issue. //
If things get to hot and the American people start to fight back the Democrats will pull out their old favorite weapon "The Race Card", the Liberal Media will brand everybody that objects to the HORDES of Illegal Aliens pouring into the country as Racists. Where are two of America's most prominant "Racists" little Roly Poly Scumbag Sharpton and Jessie Jackoff, they seem to be pretty quiet on the "Illegal Alien Thing" could it be that these two Creeps see the light at the end of the tunnel, that being, COMPETITION, these Illegal Aliens will be America's "New Minority", Ebonics will be out Spanish will be in. :bricks:

Syphilis Tests
Test Overview
Syphilis tests detect antibodies to the bacterium that causes syphilis (Treponema pallidum) in blood, body fluid, or tissue. The tests are used to screen for or to confirm a syphilis infection.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is usually spread during sexual contact, including kissing or oral sex.
Tests used to screen for syphilis include:
- Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test. The VDRL test checks for an antibody that can be produced in people who have syphilis. This antibody is not produced as a reaction to the syphilis bacteria specifically, so this test is sometimes not accurate. The VDRL test may be done on a sample of blood or spinal fluid. The VDRL test is not very useful for detecting syphilis in very early or advanced stages.
- Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test. The RPR test also detects syphilis antibodies.
- Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test. This is a newer blood test that checks for antibodies to the bacteria that cause syphilis. A positive EIA test should be confirmed with either the VDRL or RPR tests.
Tests used to diagnose syphilis include:
- Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test. The FTA-ABS test checks for antibodies to the bacteria that cause syphilis and can be used to detect syphilis except during the first 3 to 4 weeks after exposure to syphilis bacteria. It is more difficult to do and may be used to confirm a syphilis infection after another method tests positive for the syphilis bacteria. The test can be done on a sample of blood or spinal fluid.
- Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TPPA). The TPPA test is used to confirm a syphilis infection after another method tests positive for the syphilis bacteria. This test detects antibodies to the bacteria that cause syphilis and can be used to detect syphilis in all stages, except during the first 3 to 4 weeks. This test is not done on spinal fluid.
- Darkfield microscopy. This test uses a special microscope to examine a sample of fluid or tissue from an open sore (chancre) for the syphilis bacteria. If syphilis is present, it can be seen as corkscrew-shaped objects on the microscope slide. This test is used mainly to diagnose syphilis in an early stage.
- Microhemagglutination assay (MHA-TP). The MHA-TP is used to confirm a syphilis infection after another method tests positive for the syphilis bacteria. The MHA-TP test detects antibodies to the bacteria that cause syphilis and can be used to detect syphilis in all stages, except during the first 3 to 4 weeks. This test is not done on spinal fluid. The MHA-TP test is rarely used any more.
Why It Is Done
A test for syphilis is done to:
- Screen for syphilis or check treatment for a syphilis infection. Screening tests help your doctor look for a certain disease or condition before any symptoms appear. This increases the chance of finding the infection when it can be cured or treated to avoid long-term problems.
- Confirm that a syphilis infection is present.
A syphilis infection can spread through the bloodstream to all parts of the body. If not treated, syphilis can cause severe heart disease, brain damage, spinal cord damage, blindness, and death.
How To Prepare
Tell your doctor if you:
- Are taking any medicines, such as antibiotics.
- Are allergic to any medicines, especially antibiotics, or medicine used to numb the skin (anesthetics).
- Have had bleeding problems or take blood-thinners, such as aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin).
- Are or might be pregnant.
If you have syphilis, do not have sex until the test results show you are no longer infected or until you and your sex partner or partners have completed treatment and the infection has been cured. Your sex partners should be tested as well.
If you think you might have syphilis, do not have sex until testing shows that you are not infected.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?) .
How It Is Done
A syphilis test may be done on a sample of blood, sore, skin, or spinal fluid, depending on which type of test is done.
Sore or skin sample
A sample of fluid or tissue may be taken from an open sore (chancre) or from a rash that might be caused by syphilis.
- A fluid sample is obtained by gently pressing the chancre.
- Skin or mucous membrane samples may be obtained by gently rubbing a cotton-tipped swab over the area affected.
Blood sample
The health professional taking a sample of your blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol. Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood. Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Put pressure on the site and then put on a bandage.
Spinal fluid sample
A spinal tap (lumbar puncture) is done to collect a spinal fluid sample for syphilis testing.
For a lumbar puncture, a thin needle is inserted into the spinal canal in the lower back area. After the needle is in place, a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is removed from the spinal canal. For more information, see the medical test Lumbar Puncture.
How It Feels
Sore or skin sample
You may have some discomfort when fluid is collected from an open sore (chancre), but chancres usually are not very tender or painful.
Blood sample
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
Spinal fluid sample
You may have some discomfort during a lumbar puncture to collect spinal fluid for syphilis testing. For more information, see the medical test Lumbar Puncture.
Sore or skin sample
There is very little risk of complications from having a sample taken from an open sore (chancre), skin rash, or mucous membrane.
Blood sample
There is very little chance of a problem from having blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
Spinal fluid sample
There is little risk associated with having a lumbar puncture to obtain a spinal fluid sample for syphilis testing. For more information, see the medical test Lumbar Puncture.
Syphilis tests detect antibodies in blood or body fluid or tissue to the bacterium that causes syphilis (Treponema pallidum). Results are usually available in 7 to 10 days.
Normal: |
No syphilis bacteria are seen. |
Abnormal: |
Syphilis bacteria are seen. |
Normal: |
No antibodies to syphilis are present. This is called a nonreactive or negative result. |
Abnormal: |
Antibodies to syphilis bacteria are present. This is called a reactive or positive test. |
A result that is not clearly normal or abnormal is called inconclusive or equivocal. |
Normal: |
The antibody to the syphilis bacteria (reagin) is not present. This is called a nonreactive or negative result. |
Abnormal: |
The antibody reagin is present. This is called a reactive or positive test. |
The accuracy of testing often depends upon the stage of syphilis. Syphilis testing may need to be repeated if initial results are uncertain or if you have had repeated exposure to syphilis, such as from repeated unprotected intercourse.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- The use of antibiotics before having the test.
- A blood transfusion in the weeks before having the test.
- Having other conditions or diseases, such as lupus, liver disease, HIV infection, or yaws.
What To Think About
- An untreated syphilis infection during
pregnancy can infect the baby.
- The risk of infection is greatest when the mother has an early stage of syphilis.
- If a pregnant woman gets treatment before the 16th week of pregnancy, the baby usually will not have syphilis.
- Untreated infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, or birth defects.
- If a screening test is positive (reactive), the
strength of the result may be determined by measuring the amount of reagin. The
results are then given in titers. A titer is a measure of how much the blood or
spinal fluid sample can be diluted before the reagin can no longer be detected.
- A titer of 1 to 16 (1:16) means that reagin can be detected when 1 part of the blood or spinal fluid sample is diluted by up to 16 parts of a salt solution (saline).
- A larger second number means there is more reagin in the sample and generally means a higher level of infection. So a titer of 1 to 64 means more reagin, and a more intense infection, than a titer of 1 to 16.
- A reactive or positive test result does not always mean that you have syphilis. Other conditions can cause positive screening test results, including injecting illegal drugs, recent vaccinations, pregnancy, endocarditis, autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE), tuberculosis, mononucleosis, leprosy, malaria, hepatitis, Lyme disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Fluid from a sore that may be caused by syphilis sometimes is collected and examined with a special type of microscope (darkfield microscope).
- Screening for syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is often done for people who engage in high-risk sexual behavior. If you have syphilis, your sex partner or partners should be notified, tested, and treated to prevent serious complications and to stop the spread of the disease.
- With treatment, a positive reagin (VDRL and RPR) syphilis test result usually becomes negative. Positive treponemal (FTA-ABS, MHA-TP, TPPA) tests stay positive for a lifetime.
- Sores caused by syphilis (chancres) make it easier to get and spread an HIV infection.
- People with HIV infection who have a negative VDRL test should have a second test for syphilis if the infection is suspected.
- Many states require doctors to report all cases of syphilis to the local health department. In some states, doctors are also required to ask for the names and addresses of your recent sex partners. If you have syphilis, the health department may contact you to make sure that you get treatment. If you give the names of your sex partners to your doctor or the health department, they will be contacted in confidence by the health department and advised to have a test for syphilis.
