It's interesting to me how some ideas take time to marinate, while others click right away. The Halloween Circus concept came late last year after the Quest For The Ore Crystals. The story concept was entirely different at the time. After a while, the project went to the back burner until recently. Out of nowhere the genie hit me on the head and I scripted the first draft of Halloween Circus.
One of the fun parts for me is the creation of the cover of a new project. Who knows if this cover will stick or not, but it was enjoyable to work on. Check out the time-lapse video below and let me know your thoughts. Ciao.

(written between the 18th and 19th of February, 2015 in one straight sitting (a story written when time crosses midnight, is likely to have a few more strands and maybe bad words, than others)
Title: Sailor's First Story (that you've heard, that is)
There are stories for the telling
and there are those which ain't
– that's what I've been told,
but I still can't see no difference.
So I'll throw a whole
flock of them at you
and you can decide
which is which.
I blows the stories out
as they come
– just as they come,
so sometimes there's two middles,
or no end,
or even just three beginnings.
And if you want to know more about me
– well that's definitely the one story
I know's not worth telling.
All I give is my name
and that's Sailor.
How dee doo?
Good I hope
and if not so,
spin three times,
blink at the sky
hard and long,
then think on this:
They called her Butterfly,
sometimes Terfly for short.
Not because of some airy, light beauty,
no, more because she'd never stop,
never alight in one damn place longer than a flea bite
(I'm telling of them fleas that bite for nanoseconds,
not thems others that grip on long and not be shaken
even on the brutalest fairground Waltzers).
And this goes for lovers too
– soon as some poor fret
had been dazzled by her shimmery
blizzards of soft words,
she'd be off with their hearts
and on to the next habitation
and over and over again.
Three a month. More.
Some say she'd never been held,
time-stopping slow and gentle,
s'why she'd never stay, get cosy
and ease into her self and surrounds.
Others say her old man's bark,
– approx. three per minute – startled her so bad,
she couldn't stop still for longer than
a third of a minute
(you see – now I know that last bit's
dreadful storytelling for at least three reasons,
but it came out that way,
puffed out crooked.
And now it's out there,
there it stays.
them's the rules).
Terfly had more skills and talents than
an army of circuses and every single one in them,
including the animals.
It's easier to tell
what she couldn't do.
And that's cook, sew and clean.
But the others
she'd do so well,
there was always and every
opportunities flowing
wherever she landed.
So that suited
her flit-flight nature.
Now that's a long beginning.
And we ain't yet got no middle
and certainly no inkling of an ending.
I'm never sure what's its shape
when it's coming out.
This one feels like a two middler,
so hold your horses
(and don't forgets to give thems a sugar,
or apple, and tell thems they the best.
And anyone else hanging round
as long as them's deserving.
Respect's earnt, you know that, right?
There's no respecting no one who ain't worthy of that respect, thems like a barking-three-times-per-minute Pa, or a cold-heart Ma with no soft in her arms for snuggling and comfort).
Here's the two middles.
Them's short.
1) Terfly falls in love for the first time
with SkyLock, a cloud-tenter
(thems that make the hovering, giant bauble things for circuses – look just like bubbles, but there's windows and seats so folks can get a good look from all angles – and you have to be trained for hundreds of years, so easy it is to get it wrong and have families flying they won't have you back, that particular habitation).
2) SkyLock's heard her reputation
and builds a special cloud-tent
– sets out backwards to make one
that goes against all the training
– one that will take them away, away,
keeps her with him,
no flit-flighting this one no more.
Now here's the thing.
He's not liking that there's no cooking, cleaning, sewing
– he'd made this cloud-tent fixed up to the nines with all the latest a chief chef could desire
but all she does, Terfly, is fret
– fret so loudly, wolves can hear her
twenty one summers away.
SkyLock regrets keeping her
– useless he thinks
and barks for the third time that minute.
Now. He knows well
there's no ties for her
– no family wanting and wishing and missing her soft heart,
or sweet song, or tip-tap dancing so mesmerising
you can't do for anything after, just gaze long-lost into nothing.
So he shoves her out
cruel as war,
shoves her out, barking every bad a sailor's ever heard
and that's the baddest bad ever of all. And then three times more.
Okay, but here's the thing
(and I think this might be something of an ending,
or is it another beginning?
Who know, who cares,
I'm puffing hard and fast now,
couldn't stop if you corked my straw).
Sudden, Terfly discovers
she's got a skill she never knew:
she can fly! Well, more like a kind of flitty-swooshing
(have you watched a feather fall lately?
If not, do. it gives you the answer to everything.
Straight up.
And down).
So she's flitty-swooshing,
soft and grinning, singing free
and happy-to-bursting.
She scoffs love.
Maybe that's why Pa barked
and Ma was ice-cold
– maybe that's what love does.
But no sooner this sad thought's out there,
almost like it's visible or something,
there's this creature – a humale kinda,
but his legs joined like a merman
and fins as well as arms, but ohhhh, so handsome,
just thinking of him I'm getting half-lid dream-eyes.
He catches her
(she ain't quite mastered all them sky-diving tricks yet).
And holds her long…
And holds her soft…
And holds her gentle…
And slow-by-slow,
her cheek finds his upper arm
– it feels good enough she cries,
fist time ever. And he brushes and strokes
her hairs and head and that little tiny bit
where somes of us can grow bristle-hairs.
And she's thinking:
no, this is love.
This is DEFINITELY love.
This is something all shades of new,
new as flying,
new as tomorrow's sunrise,
new as the butterflies
beneath my tum-button
and she stays absolutely mushy-soft-still
in that place
for longer than all the time
she's been on this god-forsaken land.
That's the first.
Will you stay for more?
They come plenty.
Long as there's ears and eyes.
I also like, every now and then,
the odd pat and smile,
or treat, you know
– that little something that says
I'm here and that's
not too much hell of a thing…
PS: Shhhh. This next bit's not for sharing:
("Thanks Sailor!"
That's me, typing up the words.
I love this little feller that came into my life as a surprise gift from the cafe owner where I sit painting pigeons and other all-kinds-of-odd most days. I think he's seen me drooling over it every time I get a new napkin to wipe brushes. There's something just so sweet, funny and compelling about him – can't put my finger on it, but I'm so glad he's landed in my life.
I'm to bed now. I pat Sailor, pass him a sugar. Tell him he's lovely.
He grins. I nod and grins back :-).
PSS: I've found out Sailor likely came from the HMS Warwick Castle, biggest navy ship in both wars – went down in 1944, with Lucky Lady, a small ship, sailing out to help any survivors.

Three hours before the avalanche hits, William Everett is sitting on an upturned crate, waiting for his father. The town doesn't even have a name yet.
If you love historical action-adventures with danger and mysteries and secrets and murders, then The Boundless might be a very good fit for you, especially if you love children's books, or circuses, or trains.
The first chapter serves as a prologue. It introduces the hero, of course, Will Everett, and many of the other characters as well. Readers learn that Will loves to draw. Will meets a mystery-girl that mesmerizes him, that will continue to mesmerize him for over three years. Will meets Cornelius Van Horne, the manager of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Will gets invited to go along on a train ride. His father, James Everett, works for the railroad, they'll meet him at the end of the line. He'll meet several people on his journey. He'll hear things, see things. For example, he'll see the plans for the Boundless, and hear of this man's visionary idea for train travel. Things happen that will change his life forever.
The rest of the novel is set three years later and covers a short span--perhaps a week. In that week, much will happen. Will, the hero, will face DANGER and have to prove himself again and again and again. Will is many things, talented, for example, but courageous not so much. He is forced to risk much, to face many different kinds of threats and dangers. He also spends much of his time thinking and pondering.
Will has one idea of his future: what he wants, what he needs. His father has another idea. The two are opposites essentially. Part of him wants to completely reject his father's plans for him. Another part is scared. So when he's not actually at risk of dying, Will ponders the future.
I liked this one. I didn't love it. But I think for those that like action-adventure, this one could prove appealing.

Hi Linda Sarah! Glad to see a new post!!! What a complicated story. I wonder… is this about you? I love your way of telling, way of drawing and all the little commenting critters. Bye! Have a nice day!
Yay, another lovely story!
Its such as you read my thoughts! You appear to grasp so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I believe that you can do with some % to pressure the message home a bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog.
A great read. I will definitely be back.

In this day and age where there are fewer and fewer independent bookshops, some of the most exciting bricks-and-mortar places for discovering new children's books are the shops in museums and art galleries.
Whilst they may not carry a huge range of stock, they often have quirky, unusual books which would never make it to the surface on the shelves in a highstreet chain bookshop. Two recent publications by Princeton Architectural Press are prime examples of the sort of books I mean: Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso, both by Patricia Geis, are part of a stylish, new and playful Meet the Artist! series which I really like.
Alexander Calder contains a simple biography of the artist's life and then focuses on several of Calder's recurrent or particularly important themes or pieces. We learn about his love of making toys, his circus, wire sculptures, mobiles/stabiles and what my kids instantly recognised as what they call "junk modelling", but which is here referred to as sculpture out of "found objects". So far, so fairly normal for a non-fiction book about an artist.
But this book is not like your average artist biography because it is full of surprises. There is pop-up bunting, a length of metal chain to play with, press out card toy reproductions, flaps, string and cut-outs. This book is about really engaging with Calder's art, not just looking at it, but doing it, and viewing it from all angles.
To describe this as a "novelty" book would be unfair, as that label often carries the connotations of cheap gimmickry. Here the physicality of the book engages the reader in a way that I think gives valuable insight into the artist: this book is playful and unconventional, just as Calder was.
The Pablo Picasso volume is equally design conscious, with short pieces of text and white expanses left around the crisp reproductions of Picasso's art so that they really stand out. The pop-ups are not quite as successful in this volume; sculpture, inherently 3-D, is simply more exciting when it pops up off the page than a reproduction of a flat painting, even with clever use of stands and frames.
Whilst these books might not be favoured in public libraries, with all their moving and loose parts being unlikely to stand up to masses of (quite rightly) active reading, I love how they are a stepping stone to encouraging self-expression ("If a famous artist can sculpt with clothes pegs, then I can try that too!") and through that, self confidence. Non-Fiction book aren't just about learning facts!
Alexander Calder's Circus is one of his most famous pieces of art and so my girls decided to create their own version. First up M made some bunting out of paint chips. She folded them in half, and then cut out a triangle that she folded over a length of string and held in place with a glue dot.
For our circus artists we downloaded, printed and coloured this great circus set from Made by Joel and made further unusual attractions out of corks and jewellery wire (in the spirit of Calder's wire sculptures and found objects sculptures).
Watch out for our terrifying circus lions!
Whilst making our circus and then playing with it we listened to:
Other activities you might be inspired to get up to having read the Alexander Calder Meet the Artist! book include:
A third book in the Meet the Artist! series is planned for the Autumn of 2014: Henri Matisse will be the subject of the new volume and I'm certainly looking forward to it.
Disclosure: I received free review copies of both Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso from the publishers.
Wow, Zoe and fellow artists, once again I am amazed by you all – and completely love how you spend time with a book, then bring a whole new world of magic to life with your brilliant ideas and inventions – just beautiful! Your circus is genius – I love it all…the sweet and strange animals (especially cork thing) and awesome bunting! It's so lovely to read and see this post – thank you
Thank you Linda, your comments are always so encouraging! I was so pleased that the stash of corks I keep building (couldn't possibly comment on the source of them suddenly came into its own!
Love the look of the Alexander Calder book, gorgeous! I totally agree that museum and art gallery shops have some wonderful and interesting books in them, I always want to buy lots in them.

I love the seven books my panel selected as the finalists for YA Speculative Fiction. I'm really proud of our shortlist as a representation of the best YA Spec Fic books of 2014. However, there are always the ones that got away, the ones that didn't quite make it. When seven people are deliberating, compromises have to be made, and sometimes, no matter how passionate you are about a book, you can't convince your fellow judges. Here are some of the 2014 Cybils nominees that I loved, but which didn't make the cut as finalists:
Divided We Fall Trilogy: Book 1: Divided We Fall
Trent Reedy
This is a frighteningly believable book about a near-future conflict between a state and the Federal Government, with the National Guard caught in the middle. Exciting plot, credible and distinctive teen male voice, and well-developed protagonist.
For anyone who has ever wanted to be Circus. Part mystery, part circus story, and a bit of magic, this story of a young wire walker trying to overcome her family's past and prove herself is dripping with atmosphere and loaded with teen appeal.
Love Is the Drug
Alaya Dawn Johnson
Federal agents investigating Washington DC prep school student Emily Bird may be more of a danger to her than the rapidly spreading global pandemic. An exciting thriller that shows the stark contrast between the power elite in Northwest DC and the working class in the Northeast, and the racism that exists in both.
Shadowfell #03: The Caller
Juliet Marillier
The conclusion of a terrific high fantasy series that started with Shadowfell. I've loved all the books in this series, but sadly I've been unsuccessful at convincing my fellow judges to shortlist any of them. With well developed characters, a page-turning plot, and themes of sacrifice and choice, this may be the best book of the trilogy.
The Girl from the Well
Rin Chupeco
A creepy paranormal horror story told from the point of view of a centuries-old ghost. With distinctive voice, an almost poetic writing style, and a strong dose of Japanese culture, The Girl from the Well has a lot of teen appeal. This one came very close to making the shortlist, but we had some concerns about the mentally ill being used in a stereotyped way for horror effect.
A Creature of Moonlight
Rebecca Hahn
As the daughter of a dragon and a princess, Marni is torn between two worlds, the wild and beautiful but dangerous forest, and the equally dangerous life at court. A beautifully lyrical, character-driven fantasy with a theme of choice and being true to yourself.

This was resized in my Studio for the MINIATURE / CIRCUS / CAROUSEL / LOVER.
Handmade in my studio. The Artwork is from an Antique print.
French Circus Carousel Miniature
• The expression image d'Épinal has become proverbial in French and refers to an emphatically traditionalist and naïve depiction of something, showing only its good aspects. Info sourcs- wikapedia
• Épinal prints were prints on popular subjects rendered in bright sharp colours, sold in France in the 19th Century. They owe their name to the fact that the first publisher of such images — Jean-Charles Pellerin — having been born in Épinal, named the printing house he founded in 1796
It took over 2 days for me to print, cut and assemble.
Each tiny Circus figure is carefully cut and assembled to the interior wheel.
• THe small one is 4-1/2"" High x 2" diameter base
• Working mechanical.
• The inner carousel rotates clockwise as the viewer turns the bead on the top.
• Each CIrcus performer is cut out separately and glued into place on the wheel that rotates.
• The center post is wood, the topper is a dimensional AB plastic crystal bead with the very top being a gold colored bead -all the rest of the Carousel is of cardstock paper.
• Reproduction of a paper toy.
• The coloring may vary from the original Antique print and shades shown here.

17 Greatest Irish Athletes of All Time
RantSports honors Saint Patricks Day with the best Irish athletes
March brings us a lot of great things. It brings us NFL free agency, March Madness, the beginning of the Major League Baseball season and so much more. March is also known for celebrating Saint Patricks Day and Irish heritage.
There have been so many great Irish athletes to play sports over the years. So many sports included and so well rounded it is unfortunate to leave some athletes off this list. Sorry to say this, Ken Shamrock didn't make the cut. In order to find out who the best is you must follow the end of the rainbow to the pot of gold.
Possibly the biggest splash is being made in golf. Tiger Woods reign of dominance may be over. An Irish golfer has now won four of the last 10 majors and seven majors in the last six years. Those golfers include the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world Rory Mcllroy.
Irish athletes have always been prevalent in the baseball and basketball world, but now we are seeing more in the NFL. Soccer is easily the most popular in the Irish community and it lands a spot on this list.
Over 25 combined championships are shared between these 17 athletes. Was that "luck of the Irish?" Possibly, but more likely great skill, talent and determination.
Of course 17 athletes have been chosen because of the historic date that Saint Patricks Day is celebrated on. Because of so many great athletes on this list, no order is needed. Just the very best are listed. Who is the best Irish athlete of all time? That's for you to decide
John Stockton
Probably the best pure point guard to ever play the game.
He may not have been as good Magic Johnson, but he was unbelievable in his prime. Stockton has the four highest assists seasons in NBA history and he has the most assists all time. If only Michael Jordan wasn't in the way, he may have won two championships.
Nolan Ryan
Seven no hitters and most career strikeouts.
Nolan Ryan was the ultimate intimidator. Crowd the plate and you'll find out. Ryan leads second place Randy Johnson for all time strikeouts by nearly 1,000. The current active career strikeout leader is Jamie Moyer who is more than 3,000 strikeouts away from Ryan's record. Safe to say that record is safe for a long time.
John Daly
John Daly was the Happy Gilmore of golf for a while. Long drives, loud yelling, club throwing and more. But the reality is Daly was a great golfer in the early 90s winning majors and always in contention.
His golf game was always better than his wardrobe as you can see.
Jack Dempsey
Jack Dempsey was one of the greatest boxers ever. It would have been interesting to see him vs boxers from other generations. Dempsey's career legacy lands in the top 10 boxers of all time.
Bill Walton
Maybe the most underrated center in NBA history.
This guy was dominating down low when basketball was dominated by big men, unlike today. His best moment came in 1977 when he won finals MVP outplaying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar along the way.
Mark McGwire
Win as a player then win as a coach.
He would win a World Series as a hitter and then as a hitting coach 22 years later. "Big Mac" was part of the classic home run chase in 1998 when he hit a record breaking 70 home runs.
Jim Kelly
So what if he was 0-4 in Super Bowls?
Making it to four straight Super Bowls is unbelievable and will never be done again. His power and accuracy over a 10 year stretch was Hall of Fame caliber. If only Scott Norwood would have kicked it a little more to the left.
Ben Hogan
Nine career majors is impressive.
Ben Hogan ranks fourth all time in majors dominating his era. Maybe the most underrated golfer of all time. When he retired he had the second most major victories of all time trailing only Walter Hagen.
Ed Walsh
Nearly 100 years after his retirement, he still has the lowest ERA in MLB history.
Ed Walsh was the best pitcher of his era and maybe the best overall player until Babe Ruth came onto the scene. He ended his career as a World Series champion and a Hall of Famer.
George Best
Soccer is the most popular sport in Ireland and George Best contributed to that. He went on to score 253 career goals before retiring at 37 years old.
Kevin Mchale
Of course Larry Bird was the man in Boston, but Kevin McHale helped big time. He won three NBA titles as a very versatile big man that hit nearly 80% of his free throws.
Derek Jeter
"Mr. October" may be the best one on this list.
Five World Series championships will do that when you're the leader of the New York Yankees. Derek Jeter has so many clutch hits and so many memorable moments over his career.
Tom Brady
Being drafted No. 199 in the sixth round is different today.
Tom Brady may have been drafted late, but his career is of Hall of Fame caliber. Three Super Bowls and two MVPs later he gives every quarterback that is drafted late hope to succeed.
Jason Kidd
One day Jason Kidd will make the Hall of Fame.
Everywhere he goes the team wins and that's not a weird coincidence. In the 2011 NBA Finals he helped the Dallas Mavericks pull arguably the biggest upset in NBA history.
Whitey Ford
The Yankee franchise is mostly known for its hitting.
But Whitey Ford, who won six World Series is without a doubt the best pitcher in Yankees history. Don't get me wrong, Mariano Rivera is the best closer ever, but in the end a starter beats a closer.
Muhammad Ali
Probably the best boxer ever.
Muhammad Ali faced the best and he beat the best. Ask George Foreman and Joe Frazier. Ali is not only of Irish ancestry, but he also fought and beat Alvin Lewis in Ireland in 1972.
Shaquille O'Neal
So many nicknames, but for these circumstances we will go with "The Big Shamrock."
In Shaquille O'Neal's prime he was absolutely unstoppable. You had to intentionally foul him to contain him. Maybe his acting and video game career didn't skyrocket, but his basketball career is without a doubt top 10 all time.

Tait and Avtec make multi-vendor solutions a reality in Panola County
Friday 1 August, 2014
Houston, TX, USA: Global critical communication solutions provider, Tait Communications has successfully integrated its P25 9400 terminals with the Mississippi Wireless Integrated Network (MSWIN) system for Panola County.
Approximately 400 Tait 9400 portables and mobiles along with Avtec's Scout™ dispatch consoles now operate seamlessly on the MSWIN system, a P25 700-800MHz trunked system that allows the County to communicate with 27 agencies statewide including the 14 fire and five police departments under Panola County dispatch.
Director of Panola County Emergency Operations, Daniel Cole said, "When the County first joined the MSWIN system we were operating a range of different brand radios and couldn't communicate with one another. It just wasn't safe. So, we did our research, talked to other agencies and found out that the Tait radios had the quality and durability that we were looking for in a radio fleet."
"Now several months since implementing the Tait radios and I'm 100% confident in them. We've had search and rescue events involving several state agencies and the National Guard all communicating on different brands of radio and the Tait radios have never failed. We've had zero complaints, everybody loves them," Mr Cole says.
The Avtec Scout™ dispatch consoles used by Panola County are built on pure IP technology providing the call center with improved reliability in the event of an emergency. The consoles were put to the test during a recent lightning event in the County.
Mr Cole says, "During a lightning strike when everything went down, the Avtec consoles were the only thing that kept going and that's testament to the redundancy that Avtec built into the system."
Scout's fully customizable console screens were also designed to replicate the look of Panola County's Motorola Gold Elite console screens, which minimized training time and made it easier for dispatchers to migrate to the new system.
Mr Cole said that the choice to go with Tait and Avtec also saved the County crucial public funds.
"Initially, the project to upgrade to the statewide system was priced at $1.6 million but we chose to go to market for the radios and dispatch consoles and Tait was able to deliver a solution that met all our requirements and saved us in the neighborhood of $900,000."
Mr Coles adds, "We've been operating with the Tait radios and Avtec dispatch consoles for several months now and we couldn't be happier with their performance and the service we've received is second to none. I would recommend Tait and Avtec to anyone."
Representatives from Tait and Avtec recently visited Panola County to celebrate the successful integration project.
Bill Fillman, Vice-President of Market Development and Solutions Engineering says, "Tait believes in providing communications solutions that offer emergency services agencies freedom, flexibility and choice. This is a significant project for us because it clearly demonstrates that the interoperability of Tait products delivers value, in real terms, to our clients. We're pleased that we've been able to provide Panola County with the equipment they need to operate effectively and at the same time save crucial public funds."
Mike Ridge, Director of Partnerships and Alliances for Avtec adds: "Avtec is delighted to leverage our long-term partnership with Tait to provide the residents of Panola County with a new communications system built on open standards and IP technology. This successful deployment in Panola County reflects our commitment to providing proven, trusted, and reliable communications systems to Avtec's public safety customers."
Panola County currently operates their communications system in Phase 1 mode but will be able to upgrade to Phase 2 using the same Tait 9400 terminals and Avtec Scout™ dispatch consoles when the time comes.News Source : Tait and Avtec make multi-vendor solutions a reality in Panola County

ORANGE A couple who live in town but had never visited Chapman University until recently were obviously impressed – on Friday, it was announced that Christine and Lon Cross had committed $10 million for scholarships aimed at those who otherwise couldn't attend the campus.
They had met University President Jim Doti while waiting for a valet at a Huntington Beach function; Doti invited the couple to tour Chapman, and they were taken by the beauty, the friendliness of faculty and staff, and the students' devotion to learning.
"We met many wonderful students who told us the effect scholarships had on their lives," said Christine Cross, 65.
"A Chapman education is too important and too valuable to be available only to those who have the means to attend."
Doti made the announcement during his annual State of the University address.
"Of all gifts that a donor can bestow upon a university, nothing has more impact on students than scholarships," Doti said.
Christine and Lon Cross live in Orange Park Acres and have retired from the hospital-management business.

Ferrexpo plc (FXPO) - Interim Management Statement RNS Number : 9478O Ferrexpo PLC 18 October 2012 18 October 2012 Ferrexpo plc Interim Management Statement Ferrexpo plc ("Ferrexpo", the "Company" or the "Group") today issues its interim management statement in accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Production As announced on 10 October 2012, total pellet production from own ore in 3Q 2012 reached a record level of 2.4 million tonnes in the quarter. Production was 1.6% higher than 3Q 2011. The mine continues to operate at full capacity. Q3 Q2 Change YTD YTD Change Production in Tonnes '000 2012 2012 % 2012 2011 % Production from own raw materials Iron Ore 7,492.8 7,431.2 0.8 22,469.6 21,695.5 3.6 Concentrate 2,979.8 2,896.5 2.9 8,719.7 8,524.5 2.3 Pellets 62% Fe 1,346.1 1,230.8 9.4 3,775.4 3,513.0 7.5 65% Fe 1,024.9 1,074.6 (4.6) 3,158.5 3,214.7 (1.7) Total Pellets 2,371.0 2,305.4 2.8 6,933.9 6,727.7 3.1 Production/reprocessing from purchased raw materials Pellets 62% Fe 60.0 53.0 13.2 166.2 154.0 7.9 65% Fe 0.0 51.9 (100.0) 55.8 375.1 (85.1) Total Pellets 60.0 104.9 (42.8) 222.0 529.1 (58.0) Total Pellets Produced 2,431.0 2,410.3 0.9 7,155.9 7,256.8 (1.4) 62% Fe 1,406.1 1,283.8 9.5 3,941.6 3,667.0 7.5 65% Fe 1,024.9 1,126.5 (9.0) 3,214.3 3,589.8 (10.5) Sales Sales volumes for the three months to 30 September 2012 were 2,472 thousand tonnes, an increase of 1.2% compared to the same period in 2011 and 9.9% compared to 2Q 2012. The average realised price in 3Q 2012 was below 2Q 2012 reflecting the 19.5% decline in the market price during the period. Costs The Group's average C1 cash cost of production for the three months to 30 September 2012 was US$58.7 per tonne. This compares to US$51.6 per tonne in 3Q 2011 and US$61.5 per tonne in 2Q 2012. While the increase in the production cost compared to 3Q 2011 reflected higher electricity and gas tariffs as well as high levels of local inflation, the quarter on quarter decline reflected efficiencies from increased production of pellets from own ore as well as a stable oil price and lower domestic inflation. The Ukrainian Hryvnia, in which 70% of the Group's total operating costs are denominated, remained stable against the US Dollar at around 8.0 UAH to 1 US$ during the period. Capital Investment Ferrexpo Yeristovo Mining ("FYM") First ore from the new FYM pit was reached in July 2012. The ore is currently being tested in FPM's processing facilities to begin first commercial production in 1H 2013 and will be gradually phased into production through the existing processing facilities during 2013. The Ferrexpo Board has authorised US$30 million for the development of the Yeristovo 10mtpa concentrator in 2013. This includes US$20 million for detailed engineering design and ground works and, subject to market conditions and further board approval, down payments for long lead items to be placed in late 2013 which will allow for first concentrate production and ramp up in 2H 2016. In August 2012, FYM's mining licence was renewed for a further 20 years until 2032. Ferrexpo Poltava Mining ("FPM") FPM's projects remain on schedule and budget to raise output to 12 million tonnes of pellets per annum from the beginning of 2014 and to increase the iron content in its pellets from an average of 63% Fe to all 65% Fe in 2015. VAT The Group did not receive any VAT refunds in Ukraine during the quarter. As of 30 September 2012, US$281 million of VAT was outstanding compared to US$231 million as of 30 June 2012. Ferrexpo continues to work constructively with local regional and central authorities to resolve this issue and the Group expects some progress to be made in 2013. As of 30 September 2012, the Group had gross borrowing facilities of more than US$1 billion with an average maturity of over three years. Net debt was US$342 million. Michael Abrahams, Ferrexpo Chairman, commented: "The iron ore pricing environment was particularly volatile in the third quarter and Ferrexpo again demonstrated its ability to produce iron ore profitably at a low cost. The Group's growth projects are on track and the Board remains committed to invest prudently in the development of the Company's iron ore reserves." Ferrexpo: Ingrid McMahon +44 207 389 8304 Pelham Bell Pottinger Charles Vivian +44 207 861 3126 Lorna Spears +44 207 861 3883 Notes to Editors: Ferrexpo is a Swiss headquartered iron ore company with assets in Ukraine.

44 Charles Street (2011)
by Danielle Steel
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While everything was good Francesca and Todd purchased the house at 44 Charles Street, a definite fixer-upper. Before the house was completed the relationship became as run down as the house. Unfortunately Francesca had fallen in love with the house, but without Todd's financial contribution could not afford to maintain it. Solution – take in roommates. This is the story of what happens as the roommates come and go.
I generally do not read Danielle Steel and this book was a prime example of why. Although I am sure it will appeal to fans of her books, it was a little too pat and for me.
Another enjoyable book by Danielle Steel.
Review: 44 Charles Street
By Danielle Steel
361 pages
Main: Francesca, Chris, Eillen, Marya
Secondary: Ian, Charles, Todd, Avery, Henry, Thailia
Dialogue: substandard; dialogue is used frequently, but none of it is written well—it's all bland statements or bland explanations, and the dialogue is no different than the narrative; no emotion is channeled through
Vocabulary: perfect; the mark of a seasoned writer—there's a good blend of college-level words to keep things interesting
First Page Narrative Hook: not present
Strengths: characters are lively; connections are made to each character as the story came to a close
Weaknesses; predictable plotline; dialogue is poor; problems/antagonists facing the protagonist are dull or are resolved much too quickly—this, however, is a personal taste; the primary weakness is the REPITITION: nearly a third (and I am not exaggerating) of the book could be edited out and the story would read just fine! Lastly, characters are unrealistic because each one is a perfect fit for the other.
Low rereading value
Bottom line: I don't want to hate on Danielle Steel. She's a women's fiction writer. She's successful and has gathered a huge fan base. But this book just didn't appeal to me. At all. I had to drag myself from page to page in order to finish it. All in all, this book just isn't for me.
Over the course of a year 4 roommates become a family.
Its an excellent book. Its a story of a failed relationship and how what happens after leads to everlasting love. Francesca is the owner of the house on 44 Charles Street. She lived in this house with Todd. Neither believed in marriage and though they could live together without marriage ever becoming an issue. Unfortunately, at forty-one years of age Todd's biological clock started to tick. He wanted marriage and the children to fill his life along with Francesca. As for Franscesca, her mind was made up. She feared she would turn into her mother, Thalia who married five times and lived a comfortable life because of these previous marriages. At sixty-two she was looking for her sixth marriage and was not having any luck. This made Francesca afraid of making a commitment like marriage.
After Todd leaves the house, in an effort to make the mortgage payments, Francesca decides to take in roommates. She takes in three roommates. Her first is Eileen, a recent college graduate and a Special Ed teacher. Her second a thirty-eight divorced man named Chris who is the father to Ian. Last, Marya a famous French chef whose husband passed away about six months earlier. They are all single and need each other for family comfort. Over time during the difficult times life brings us, they become a family.
Great read.
Classic Steel, phoned in. Much repetitious ruminating and a stultifying, unmusical prose style too often obstruct the intended edgy escapism.

PSAT – October of Sophomore & Junior YearThe Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program co-sponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). In October, all sophomores and juniors take the PSAT at Wilbraham & Monson Academy during the school day. This test is broken into sections measuring critical reading, math, and writing skills. The PSAT is a very useful way to become familiar with the SAT format. It also gives students a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs in their junior year and gain access to college and career planning tools. For more information regarding the PSAT, please visit www.collegeboard.com/psat.SAT Reasoning Test – Winter/Spring of Junior Year and Fall of Senior YearThe SAT Reasoning Test is a three-part, three-hour-and-45-minute test that assesses critical reading, writing, and mathematical reasoning ability and is used in the college admission process. It is scored on a scale of 200-800 on each of the three sections. We recommend that students consider taking the SAT in May of their junior year and again in October or November of their senior year. For more detailed information regarding the SAT, please visit www.collegeboard.com.SAT Subject Tests – Winter/Spring of Junior Year and Fall of Senior YearThe SAT Subject Tests are tests that measure a student's knowledge in particular subject areas including English, science, math, history, and foreign languages. Each test is one hour long, and a student may take up to three tests in one administration. Many selective colleges require at least two and sometimes three Subject Tests as part of their admission requirements. It is important that students pay attention to the requirements of individual colleges to ensure that they meet the college's standardized testing requirements. We recommend that students consider taking Subject Tests at the end of the academic year while the information about a particular subject is still fresh in their minds. For juniors, the June SAT administration is usually the best time to do this. For a full list of all possible Subject Tests, please visit www.collegeboard.com.
ACT – Winter/Spring of Junior Year and Fall of Senior YearThe ACT is a standardized test scored on a 36-point scale and is divided into sections covering English, math, reading and science reasoning. There is also an optional 30-minute writing section. The ACT is an alternative to the SAT and is accepted at nearly every college in the country. Because some students perform better on the ACT than on the SAT, the College Counseling Office suggests that most students take the ACT, as well as the SAT, in order to have score options when deciding which test scores to submit to colleges. If a student is considering the ACT, we highly recommend that they choose to take it with the writing option, as most colleges require this form of the ACT. Students should considering taking this for the first time in April of their junior year. For information about the ACT, please visit www.actstudent.org.
TOEFL – Fall of Senior YearMany colleges require that students whose first language is not English take the TOEFL – Test of English as a Foreign Language. A student's TOEFL score is often a very useful supplement to their Critical Reading and Writing scores on the SAT. For information about TOEFL, please visit www.ets.org/toefl.
Non-Standard Administration of the PSAT, SAT Reasoning Test, Subject Tests and ACTIf students have a documented learning disability, they may be eligible through the College Board and the ACT to receive testing accommodations like extended time. Families should contact the College Counseling Office and the Academic Services Department at Wilbraham & Monson Academy to find out how a student can receive approval for these accommodations.

Tribal elder shot dead in Paktia
Tribal elder shot dead in Paktia
GARDEZ (PAN): A tribal elder was killed by Taliban fighters in the Zurmat district of southeastern Paktia province on Thursday, the provincial police chief said.
The militants shot dead the elder in the Khwajagan village of Mamozai area, Brig. Gen. Abdul Ghaffar Sapi told Pajhwok Afghan News.
Requesting anonymity, a resident identified the victim as Shah Wali Agha, who was accompanied by his sons. Agha stopped the rebels from planting landmines in the area two days ago, the source said.

The Real Rogue Nuclear State - Dr. David Duke

- Views: 106
New Duke Video - latest documentary video is — The Real Rogue Nuclear State! — And this video exposes Israel as the true terrorist, nuclear rogue state, not Iran. The video lays out the facts one by one in a powerful way. It also has great music and good editing. To me this is one of the most powerful indictments of Israel, Zionism and extremist Jews ever put into a video documentary
Please spend some concentrated time helping to promote this important video!
Please sure to remember to watch both and follow all the steps. That's how many new people are able to hear my message.

The publication that first coined the phrase "Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman" (initially referring to women's spending power, as a lure to advertisers) is calling it quits.
The Ladies' Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, as it was known back in 1886, was founded by Philadelphia newspaper publisher Cyrus Curtis, and originally edited by his wife Louisa Knapp Curtis. It was run for three decades by the Curtises' son-in-law Edward Bok, one of the inventors of the modern magazine industry. (Some old timers might have heard of the Curtis/Bok family's other big magazine, The Saturday Evening Post.)
The Journal was a pioneer in the business model of cheap subscriptions subsidized by advertising, and thrived on it for many years. At the end it still had more than 3.2 million buyers (down from 6.8 million in 1968); but ad revenue had collapsed, as it has for so many print ventures. The name will now appear on occasional "newsstand special" editions, essentially to keep the trademark alive.
(The above image links to a review of a 1900 article in which the Journal predicted American life in the far-off year 2000. The article was a lot closer to what really happened than you might think.)
In the six weeks or so since I posted any news briefs, the news has just kept on a-comin'.
Among the highlights: The hedge-fund guys who bought and sold Chrysler, then bought (and re-merged) the two previously spun-apart regional halves of Albertsons, are now going to buy Safeway.
Both chains have been bought and sold in leveraged buyout schemes previously; both have barely recovered from those debacles. Both chains have also acquired other regional chains over the decades, and lost and re-gained some of the stores operating under their original "store banners." Even the "core" Safeway-branded operation was originally a merger of several chains, arranged by Merrill Lynch in the 1920s.
It happens that Safeway and Albertsons both have roots in Idaho (the original Albertsons is still open in Boise!). Both circuits grew and thrived in the inland and coastal West, areas A&P (the grocery biz's former 300-lb. gorilla) mostly never got around to entering. These are also territories that Walmart only got around to entering in the last decade or two. That makes them relatively stable fiscally, compared to southern and eastern grocery circuits operating in Walmart's core regions.
Both chains, of course, control lots of real estate, which may be the real reason they're attractive to the hedge-fund folks. Safeway in particular has actively co-developed multi-story, "mixed use" projects on many of its store sites, including several projects in Seattle and Bellevue.
The soon-to-be-combined chains' management claims no stores will close as a result of the merger. But many could be sold off, especially in metro areas where both chains are strong. And some warehouses and front-office jobs could also go away.
One thing I predict won't go away: the persistent, and false, urban legend that either or both chains are really "owned by the Mormons." They never were.

A long-delayed batch of randomosity (the first in more than a month) begins with the discovery of the newest local "mainstream microbrew." Underachiever Lager appears to have begun as a promo vehicle for Tacoma designer-casual-wear company Imperial Motion, but is now being rolled out as its own thang in select local bars.
He is angry because Salman Rushdie uses Twitter, and nowadays people can buy books on the Internet, and the Home Depot, and he had to go to Germany one time, and also some women exist who have not had sex with him.

Gosh, has it really been more than three weeks since I've done this? Time flies when you're desperately looking for paying work (i.e., absolutely not "for the exposure").
We have forgotten what this country once understood, that a society based on nothing but selfishness and greed is not a society at all, but a state of war of the strong against the weak.

First, another "sorry folks" for not getting something up to the site lately. I know some of you enjoy these li'l linx, even when I don't have a major essay about something.
For now, back to Randomosity:

A big batch-O-randomness today, catching up after several days without it.
To start, there's yet another indie "webisode" series made here in Seattle. It's called The Coffee Table. It's a simple scifi comedy, in which some dudes n' dudettes are propelled into another dimension by the titular table, which turns out to be "an ancient alien artifact."

So it has come to this. The Seattle Times, unable (just as most all metro dailies are unable) to survive on shrinking print-ad volume and meager online-ad revenue, is resorting to the "paywall."
Starting some time in mid-March, full access to the Times website will be restricted to paid subscribers.
Print subscribers will get full online access. Online-only subscriptions will be available at $3.99 per week (following an initial discount). That's higher than the Sunday-only print subscription price, at least within King County. This is undoubtedly devised to prop up the paper's print numbers, particularly on ad-flyer-heavy Sunday.
In announcing the paywall on Sunday, Times executive editor David Boardman wrote that the money's needed "to support quality journalism." The essay's comment thread, natch, is full of wags snarking that "quality journalism" is worth paying for but the Seattle Times isn't.
Even more than some metro dailies, the Seattle Times has painted itself into this corner, over many years.
It's held to a bland, institutional ethic and aesthetic; even as its average reader became older, squarer, and whiter than the metro area's overall demographic.
Its editorials hewed as close to a GOP party line as the Blethen family dared, in a solid-Blue city.
Faced with ever-declining revenues, it chose not to "reinvent" itself. Instead it became an ever-smaller version of its same-old same-old.
One issue this past month hit a new low of 22 pages (the bare minimum under its current design).
If there's anything I've learned in my many years of studying the media, it's that if you want to be "supported," you've got to make people actively want to support you.
A thin assortment of lifeless stories about the ritual dances of politicians and corporate press releases ain't gonna accomplish that.
(Meanwhile, one national commentator claims paywalls aren't really working so well for non-national, non-business-centric papers.)

Panchathan Record Inn and AM Studios
The Panchathan Record Inn & AM Studios are composer/music director A. R. Rahman's studios on his street at Kodambakkam, Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The Inn was established in 1989, attached to his backyard, and developed into the most developed studio in Asia.[1] Located very close to his home, it houses equipment like the Euphonix System 5 Audio Mixing system. The studio has been designed by Studio 440 and the state of the art equipment is from Daxco Digital. His team includes acclaimed sound engineers of Chennai film music including the late H. Sridhar, S .Sivakumar,Aditya Modi, A.S. Laxmi Narayanan,S .Saisarvajith,J .Ravinder, his manager Noell James, and Co-Ordinator Samidurai.
In 2005, A. R. Rahman built a new studio, part of a redevelopment and extension project of the inn, called AM Studios. Mixing takes place at both the inn and the commercial A. M Studios for films. Other music directors use AM Studios for recording. Rahman also owns newly built KM Musiq Studios in Mumbai, London and Los Angeles where he has also mixed scores.
In 2013, AM Studios acquired a Barco Auro 11.1 system to enhance its 3D sound recording capabilities. The sound mixing for the Tamil film Maryan whose score was composed by A. R. Rahman himself was the first Indian film to utilize this sound technology through AM Studios.[2]

The best of Fisherman's Village, Ko Samui
What we say:
In Ko Samui's Fisherman's Village, you'll find old Chinese shophouses that are well preserved, interspersed with tasteful modern buildings to create a real 'Mediterranean meets the East' vibe. With some good accommodation choices, delicious food and a range of shopping on offer, it's a good little destination in its own right.
Here's a roundup of some of the great places I've so far discovered in this corner of Samui.
Best time to visit
Fisherman's Village comes alive on Friday evenings, when it hosts its weekly walking street market. Try every kind of food-on-a-stick imaginable washed down by refreshing mojitos for only 60B while being entertained at the stage area near the pier. Here locals mix with expats and tourists alike, enjoying the festive vibe, cheap food and drinks and free entertainment.
Best low budget accommodation: Cocooning Hotel and Tapas Bar
Don't be deceived by the nondescript exterior; once you enter this quaint little hotel, you will fall for its charm. Six standard rooms are each furnished in different colours and themes, equipped with large comfortable beds, air-con, TV and fridge. The Sunset room comprises two levels, with a loft bedroom and spacious lounge area. The spotless rooms are serviced daily, and a laidback atmosphere adds to the appeal. The swimming pool, literally located in the restaurant, is no more than a dip pool, but enough to cool you down.
The restaurant and bar must be the cheapest in Fisherman's Village, with Thai food options from 60B. Mix with locals in the bar who are drawn by cheap cocktails and good food. Cocooning Hotel is excellent value for money considering the location, with rooms from 800B per night.
Best mid-range accommodation: L'Hacienda Hotel
If it wasn't for the Buddha images adorning the walls, L'Hacienda could be mistaken for being somewhere in the Mediterranean; think terracotta floors, crisp white bedding and whitewashed walls, all no doubt the French owner's influence.
Add to that a rooftop pool with endless views over the bay, a beachfront swimming pool and the vibe of Fisherman's Village and this hotel is a winning option with its reasonable rates and tasteful rooms. The beachfront suites boast Jacuzzis and direct beach access. The hotel has a small bar, but many other dining and nightlife options are within easy walking distance. Rooms 1500B–3900B per night.
Best people watching location: Red Moon Bar
After filling up on street food on a Friday evening during the market, there is no better place to chill and people watch than Red Moon Bar, located along the main drag in Fisherman's Village. French owner Jay-Jay is always welcoming, you'll get a few complimentary tapas snacks, and the beer flows on tap. Music videos or sport gets shown on a big screen inside, or sit at an outside table, and watch the world go by.
Best chill out location: Woody a shop & bar
This rather quirky place is just what the name says. The wooden shophouse has been converted into a great place to chill out, have a drink, watch a classic movie in the evening or challenge a friend to a Play-Station game. A blackboard covering one whole wall displays the menu, consisting of dishes such as burgers, salads, pastas and antipasti as well as an assortment of smoothies and specials of the day. Items for sale are arranged on shelves or rails, with no particular theme, and range from clothing and accessories to knick-knacks. Try the tangy passionfruit mousse sold at walking street market.
Best place for tea: Namcha Teahouse
Relax in an Asian inspired lounge-type teahouse, with an ever-so colonial feel. The decor at Namcha Teahouse is exquisite, with shelves carrying an assortment of attractive teapots, Chinese fans and parasols on the walls, art pieces, a huge decorative silver teapot as a focal point and comfortable seating with vibrant cushions. Light meals of tasty wraps are well-priced from 80B to 120B. Find a cosy corner to read your book or chat with friends.
To reach Fisherman's Village, turn off the ring road at the Bophut traffic lights — about 100 metres along an ornate arch welcomes you.Last updated: 9th March, 2015

Trends in the History of Vocational Guidance
Herr, Edwin L., Career Development Quarterly
In this article, the relationships between vocational guidance and vocational education, employment counseling, career guidance, and career counseling are explored. Also examined are the wide-ranging federal and state policies that have stimulated and shaped the professional history of vocational guidance, vocational policy, and contemporary terms.
Keywords: vocational guidance, industrial revolution, Frank Parsons, career policy, career guidance
Theorists, researchers, and practitioners have often pioneered the changing trends and resources in the disciplines that compose vocational guidance. Furthermore, those who study work now witness rapid transformations about how work is organized, how it is done, by whom, and the meaning of careers. Career counselors and specialists are learning a new vocabulary about work and about the effects of globalization, including organizational downsizing, outsourcing, off-shoring, global surpluses, the pervasive use of advanced technology in how work processes are implemented, the increasing use of part-time workers, international economic competition, and the evolution of new career paths.
Although there are other elements of change, most workers in the future will need to reinvent their careers to keep up with a fast changing workplace. They will need to cope with the complexities of the job market and find positions suited to their talents and interests. Workers will be more dependent than ever on career counselors (vocational guidance practitioners), coaches, and mentors (Cornish, 2004).
In this article, the relationships between vocational guidance and vocational education, employment counseling, career guidance, and career counseling are briefly explored. The roots of vocational guidance and vocational education have been prominent for most of the 100 years that are being celebrated. However, there were efforts to guide and to educate persons to find jobs and to learn through apprenticeships and other specific methods long before the current decades (Gimpel, 1976). Through these years, vocational guidance and vocational education and the scholars and practitioners who implemented them continually developed models of vocational guidance. One of these major theories, now named actuarial, or trait and factor theory, emphasized matching clients to available jobs.
The Language of Vocational Guidance
Contemporary forms of vocational guidance arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a partner to vocational education. In these years, the world of work and the world of career interventions changed dramatically. Different groups of scholars and practitioners became members of the National Vocational Guidance Association (renamed the National Career Development Association [NCDA] in 1985) and published their important theories and research in the Journal of Employment Counseling and the Vocational Guidance Quarterly (now The Career Development Quarterly), among other journals and publications. Although scholars had not yet implemented a scientific frame of reference in their advising and counseling, that goal was significant for identifying the elements of vocational guidance.
Frank Parsons
In the United States, Frank Parsons, a lawyer and an engineer, was considered the dominant visionary and architect of vocational guidance and vocational education. Parsons had been an activist and, through much of his life, engaged in various reform movements. In particular, Parsons had been highly involved with immigrant settlement along the northeastern coast of the United States, especially in the Boston area. Having established the Vocations Bureau in Boston, Parsons worked to provide a scientific basis for assisting immigrants and others to develop effective techniques for choosing specific work. An outspoken critic of the Boston public school system and a major advocate of educational reform, he was concerned that children were not getting training in the technical skills of the day. …
