The time has come to forget the clichéd term ''New Year, New You''
Happy New Year to you all! We have embarked upon a brand new chapter.
This month brings with it all those phrases we have come to associate with January such as 'out with the old and in with the new'. Terms used to make us feel like we should be making some life changing decisions to improve our health, quit drinking, save money or a vow to see the family more. Yes, all these things are very good ideas and ones we have all considered when we approach a new year, and then January draws to a close and we seem to fall back into our old habits. I believe that when a New Year approaches by all means make a plan for the months to follow but the important thing is not to restrict yourself to accomplishing this goal in January – after all, Rome wasn't built in a day. This way we don't feel any almighty pressure to alter our lifestyle when the clock strikes midnight - because let's face it if we want to do these things then we have 12 glorious months to fulfill these 'resolutions' before we ring in another year.
So if you are one of those people that like to make a resolution the key is to make it something realistic so that you don't berate yourself too much if it falls by the wayside. One of the biggest commitments we make in January is the promise to shed the pounds we have gained in the festive season, eating, drinking and enjoying ourselves. The health and fitness industry is valued at a staggering £3.9 billion, as more and more of us have made the decision to start looking after our bodies. A study carried out by Mintel reported that in 2014 alone, 29Million Brits were trying their hand at a new diet. This has shown no signs of slowing down in the last year and with knowledge on the subject becoming more accessible with tips on easier ways to prepare healthier meals this means that 2016 looks as though it will be another year where healthy living and dieting shall reign.
For now let's focus on this idea of dieting-made-easy. In recent years we have seen the likes of the 5:2 diet, the Paleo and the ever popular no diet-diet where you select foods to eat based on a colour group. These were and still are popular today because they are manageable without you having to alter too many of your eating habits to obtain weight loss. Diets only become daunting when we do not have enough knowledge about the best practices to achieve the best results. However it is important to remember that as we get older our bodies change and this will affect how our bodies react to dieting. So instead of telling you what you should be eating, here are a few elements to avoid so you can start maintaining a healthier lifestyle:
Avoid skipping meals – Most people assume that skipping breakfast or lunch is a good way to lose weight fast. Unfortunately this is not true. As we age our metabolism slows with us, so even if you are consistent in the amount of food you consume you may start to notice weight gain due to this factor. Skipping meals will then slow down your metabolism further, making it harder to stay on track and will just heighten your cravings for those sugary treats later on in the day.
Add Protein – Replace processed red meats like bacon or salami with good sources of organic protein like free range chicken, dairy and plant based protein such as nuts, lentils and quinoa. This are widely available and you can find so many recipes online to create some delicious meals that are going to support your dietary needs. The introduction of high-quality protein in your diet will boost your mood and is known to relieve stress and anxiety.
Watch out for hidden sugar – Being aware of the amount of sugar that's in our meals is an important factor when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Almost all things we eat if not everything we eat will have sugar in it. It's an issue that effects not only our diets but also our children and grandchildren's diets. Look out for disguised sugar in the ingredients, these will usually be referred to as corn syrup, cane juice, fructose, sucrose, or maltos. These can be found in items like canned soup, white bread and most frozen meals. Consuming more sugar than is needed can result in you feeling tired and sluggish and leave you craving more unhealthy foods.
Put down the salt - Another common issue when we get older is our weakened senses prevent us from recognising salty and bitter tastes so we tend to add more salt to flavour meals, when in actual fact older adults need a lower salt intake in their diets. Salt also contributes to 'water weight' which will make you feel bloated and increase those numbers on the scale. Try adding flavour to your dishes with a healthier alternative, using a variation of spices and herbs.
If you combine these four elements with a spot of light exercise, then you should start to see a difference in your lifestyle as these will help give you more energy and help prevent future health risks. Remember, you have the year ahead to make these changes so let's take it one step at a time.

Kochi, Feb 8 (PTI) Voicing concern over recentincidents involving Somali pirates near Indian waters, DefenceMinister A K Antony today said some other forces were helpingthem and the country cannot be a mere spectator to it.
"Our waters are not safe like before. There are someother forces helping them (pirates). We cannot remain merespectators," he said, adding the forces are yet to beidentified.
The incidents point that the country''s coasts were notprotected and "if we are not vigilant, danger would not be farbehind", he said while inaugurating Bharat ElectricalLimited''s Product Support Centre at KINFRA Hi Tech Park atnearby Kalamassery.
Antony said Navy and Coast Guard would step up theirsurveillance along the Kerala-Lakshadweep-Tamil Nadu coast inthe wake of arrest of pirates off Lakshadweep islands.
More Naval and Coast Guard vessels and aircraft wouldbe deployed to increase surveillance, he said.
In the last one month, two vessels of the pirates hadbeen seized in joint operations by the Navy and Coast Guardand last year 14 ships were attacked by pirates near the 8Degree Channel in Lakshadweep.
Later talking to reporters, Antony said India hadstated that UN should provide the lead in combating piracy.
On the arrest of some suspected Pakistan and Iraniannationals from a fishing vessel a few months ago nearLakshadweep, he said probe was still on.
Asked about the recent killing of a youth in Kashmirby security forces, he said it was ''unfortunate'' and the armyhad ordered an enquiry. It was a case of mistaken identity, hesaid.
On the suicide by the uncle of Sandeep Unnikrishnan,the NSG commando who was killed during the Mumbai terrorattacks, he said it was a very ''painful'' incident.
The former Kerala chief minister refused to take anyquestions on politics saying, "No Politics, no masala."
Navy also provides a helping hand to fishermen who arein distress when at sea, he said.
The BEL''s centre had been set up to provide waterfrontsupport for the Southern Naval Command here and its to supportoutsourcing of Naval System projects to units of KELTRON.
Antony said the project, the foundation stone of whichwas laid in 2008 by him, could be completed in a record time,thanks to the support of the state government.
The Centre, state, local bodies had all come togetherto see the project became a reality, he said.

Private lable cosmetics
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 03, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, September 03, 2014
In your comments you state this company uses private label products. Which in itself makes it not a rip off. You may not be saisfide with the products but this does not make it a rip off. Your commnets are more of an oppionion that fact. I have never heard of this comapny but, they are not doing anything worng if they are using private label.
Private label companeis are not just comapanies that make products for just anyone. In many cases you have to be a buiness owner or licenced beauty pro. Many private label companies use the same manufacturers and same products as your high end brands. I use to work for a hair care company like this and they made products for big names. So to state not to buy from private lable is misinformation on your part. The company I worked for also made thier own line as well as private lableing. You would be surprised to find some of your top name companies do not make thier own products. Its about sales and marketing. This is a common practice in the beauty industry as well as most all consumer products.
Many salons and makeup artist use private label products as a way to market thier own name and build there buisness. This does not mean they are a rip off. They are providing a product that in most cases are better or more affordable to clients. Private labeling allows them to have a wide array of color choices and build their own brand.
As a makeup arts and in the fashion indsutry for over 16 years I know many makeup artist that are doing this so they can build thier company in a more customized way. I mayself have used many of the product companies you name. Most of them are very reputable and highly recomended companies in the beauty indsutry.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Think of this bestselling shampoo as food for your hair. Made with a unique combination of wheat proteins and amino acids, Kiehl's star formulation strengthens strands every time you lather up. Plus, the tropical scent of coconut oil is sure to inspire extra-long showers.
I have tried countless hair products, and everything from the drug store brands to the high end expensive stuff. This is hands down my favorite shampoo. I wash my hair at least every other day because of sports, and it never dries my hair out. The smell is incredible and smells lightly of coconut with sort of a powdery clean scent too. I do not think it is overwhelmingly coconut-y smelling in a fake way. The combination of this and the conditioner leaves my hair super soft and shiny. I have medium thickness curly hair.5
I'm very picky about my shampoo concerning parabens, SLS, and other chemicals. I love this natural shampoo with coconut oil. I also have the conditioner. Because of the coconut oil, you have to make sure you rinse well. My hair is soft and shiny. It's fabulous. I saw some other reviews complaining it doesn't lather. That is because there isn't SLS in it. I'm glad it doesn't lather. I've bought my second bottle.5
I LOVE this shampoo! I have tried so many different brands, both salon and drugstore, and this is by far the best for everyday care. I have long wavy hair and use a lot of different products -- there are better shampoos out there if you're looking for volume or damage repair, but if you just want something simple to keep your hair looking great and feeling soft, this is it! It has a really nice light coconut scent and a great texture, and I can get away with using a smaller amount when compared with other shampoos.5
I love this product. I use it daily alongside the Amino Acid Conditioner, and the pair of products makes my hair feel and look AMAZING. My hair is soft, shiny, and styles easily when I wash and condition with these products. I use them everyday and find that there is no build-up (which is usually a problem for me, because my scalp is oily), but also no drying - just great hair, every day. These products make my hair clean enough to go two days between washings if I choose - something that is rare for me because of my oily scalp.
I recently tried to "save" some money by purchasing a drug store brand of shampoo that claimed to use coconut oil like this product does. I'm miserable with this other brand! It has reminded me just how great Kiehl's Amino Acid collection is, and you can bet I'm shopping here to re-stock. These products might be more expensive than some other drug store brands, but the price is worth it both in terms of quality and efficiency (I use less of these products because they work so well).
In short, I can't recommend this shampoo highly enough!

BETH Mooney's birthday bash led Brisbane Heat to a close five-wicket win over Melbourne Renegades.
The opener struck five boundaries at a scorching Allan Border Field in her stand of 45, but Mooney's knock was the only real resistance in the Heat's chase.
The Heat was chasing only 103 runs to win, but were forced to fight for the reasonably small total by a determined Renegades outfit.
📽 Highlights from today's win over the @RenegadesWBBL! #TurnUpTheHeat #WBBL02 pic.twitter.com/KnmYo5gNUF— Brisbane Heat WBBL (@HeatWBBL) January 14, 2017
Brisbane's struggle against the smaller total, which required a run rate of just more than five per over, reflected Mooney's comments late last week.
When asked about the Hobart Hurricanes's record chase against Melbourne Renegades in their men's Big Bash League match, Mooney said the higher total "was almost better to chase" than a lower total.
"It's probably better chasing 220 rather than a smaller total because you know you just have to hit," Mooney said.
"You don't get the same pressure or false sense of security.
"But (that game) was unbelievable, when a team makes 220 in a T20 you wouldn't expect it to be chased down but Ben McDermott played really well.
"It's the best time of year to be a cricketer."
It was left to former skipper Delissa Kimmince to hit the winning boundary from the only ball she faced.
Earlier, Jemma Barsby took 4-13 from three overs, two wickets of which were stumpings via Mooney, to restrict Melbourne Renegades to 102.

Women in their second and third trimester of pregnancy - those more than 12 weeks pregnant - should be "routinely" offered an inactivated form of the vaccine, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has said.
The recommendation emerged in the June minutes of the JCVI, published on its website, although the Department of Health stressed that it had not yet received a formal recommendation.
The JCVI minutes read: "The committee recommended that influenza vaccination should be routinely offered to pregnant women in their second and third trimester. This recommendation will be submitted to ministers shortly.
"In addition, the Committee recognised that attention needed to be given to communicating the benefits to pregnant women and their unborn children, and of any risks."
The vaccine is currently given to high-risk groups first, including the over-65s, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes.
Studies have show that women who have flu in pregnancy are more likely to suffer complications, and their child could be at higher risk of developmental disorders.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said the JCVI routinely examined the benefits of all new immunisations.
She described reports that the vaccine would be offered to pregnant women in a mass vaccination drive from next year as "premature speculation."Reuse content

SEATTLE -- Washington rookie Kory Casto turned Father's Day into an even bigger celebration than normal with his first career home run.
Casto's pinch-hit, three-run homer off the foul pole broke an eighth inning tie and led the Nationals to a 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
"That's a pretty awesome thing the first one of my career on Father's Day and it was a go-ahead for the sweep home run," said Casto, who exchanged a quick hug with his father after the game. "That's a big deal. He (his father) told me it was a great present."
The Nationals swept their first three-game series since last September and handed the Mariners their seventh consecutive home loss. It is the longest home losing streak for the Mariners since they lost eight in a row in 1996 at the Kingdome.
Casto's first career homer came off a fastball by reliever Mark Lowe (1-3). Casto, who grew up in Salem, Ore., was 0-for-14 in his previous five games. Washington recalled him June 3 from Triple-A Columbus.
"This is way bigger than I thought my first home run would ever be," said Casto, who grew up a Mariners fan. "It's a great feeling. The sweep's a bigger deal for us, playing well on the road and getting three from these guys."
Aaron Boone led off the eighth with a double, he advanced to third on Felipe Lopez's sacrifice bunt. Lopez reached first on the play. Casto, pinch hitting for Wily Mo Pena, homered to right on an 0-1 count.
"I saw it go really high, I guess it hit the foul pole," Lowe said. "I saw it finish to the right of the foul pole. I thought it was foul when I saw it. The umpire had the good view and from what I heard it was fair."
Seattle right fielder Jeremy Reed and manager John McLaren briefly argued the call. Television replays showed the ball bounced off the foul pole.
Washington manager Manny Acta told Casto to get ready to pinch hit after Boone hit the double.
"I think Lowe has pretty good stuff and Wily has been struggling," Acta said of his decision to pinch hit. "We had to take a shot there and Kory was the best contact hitter we had."
The Nationals added another run on Lastings Milledge's sacrifice fly.
Reliever Jesus Colome (2-1) picked up the win. He threw two scoreless innings.
"Colome came in and was lights out," Acta said. "He had the best command of his fastball than he's had all season."
The Nationals tied the game at 2-2 in the seventh on a ground-out RBI by Jesus Flores that scored Cristian Guzman. Guzman had doubled and advanced to third on an infield single.
Washington starter Tim Redding allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Seattle starter Jarrod Washburn gave up two runs and eight hits in six innings before Lowe relieved him with two runners on in the sixth.
Seattle took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on an RBI-single by Ichiro Suzuki that scored Willie Bloomquist. Bloomquist hit a two-out single and stole second.
The Mariners scored an unearned run in the third to tie the game at 1-1 when right fielder Elijah Dukes dropped a fly ball hit by Jose Vidro with two outs that allowed Jose Lopez to score from third. Lopez reached base when second baseman Felipe Lopez dropped a grounder for one error and then threw the ball past first baseman Boone for a second error.
The Nationals, who have won three consecutive games for the first time since a four-game winning streak April 27 to May 1, took a 1-0 lead in the first on a ground-out RBI by Flores.
McLaren shook up the bottom of the lineup for the final game of the series with Miguel Cairo, Jeremy Reed and Bloomquist starting for Richie Sexson, Wladimir Balentien and Yuniesky Betancourt. "We just wanted to get a different look out there," McLaren said before the game. ... By placing pitcher Odalis Perez on the DL Friday, five of the eight Nationals on the DL were starters in the season opener. ... Umpire Jerry Crawford returned to work Sunday. He left Saturday's game in the third inning with back spasms. ... The Mariners were swept at home by an interleague opponent for the first time since interleague play began in 1997, a total of 36 home series.

OER Regional Consultation for Europe draws representatives from 25 countries
More than 70 participants from 25 countries gathered in Malta from 23 to 24 February to discuss the role of open educational resources (OER) in ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, as part of a series of six regional consultations being held between December 2016 and May 2017.
Over the course of two days, representatives, including ministers, senior officials, policy makers and experts, reflected on the progress of OER since the World OER Congress in 2012, identified strategies for mainstreaming OER, and agreed on action points for the 2nd World OER Congress. Innovative and promising practices in OER policies and initiatives in the region were also showcased.
The regional consultations are being organised by COL, in partnership with UNESCO and the Government of Slovenia with the generous support of the Hewlett Foundation, in the lead up to the 2nd World OER Congress. The 2nd World OER Congress is scheduled to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 18–20 September 2017. The first consultation was held in Kuala Lumpur in December 2016 for the Asia region. The Europe Regional Consultation was generously co-hosted by the Minister of Education and Employment in Malta. Regional consultations for the Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Americas and Pacific regions are scheduled for the coming months.
COL is also conducting surveys for governments and stakeholders in order to establish a global understanding of national OER development.
For more information on the OER Regional Consultations and/or to contribute to the survey, visit rcoer.col.org. Reports on regional consultations will be made available once finalised.

I read a news report yesterday that I have been thinking about it ever since. I want to share it with you. Please be warned that the facts of the story contain some graphic details. (I have adapted my description of the facts from a UPI story that you can read for yourself here.)
The story is that of Purvi Patel, a 33-year-old woman of Hindu descent from mostly Irish-Catholic South Bend, Indiana. In July 2013, Patel miscarried a pregnancy at her home, where she lived with her immigrant parents and grandparents. It is not clear exactly how advanced the pregnancy was - that was one of the issues at her later trial. But Patel expelled, along with a lot of blood, a recognizable fetus, which she claims was dead. (Whether it was actually dead at the time was also an issue at the trial.)
A few hours after miscarrying, Patel went to a local hospital, because she was bleeding heavily. Before she left for the hospital, she cleaned up the mess and put the fetus in a dumpster at a shopping center across the street from the hospital. She then presented herself in the emergency room for treatment of her heavy bleeding.
Although Patel did not initially tell the emergency-room doctor all of the details of what had happened, it was apparent to him that she had recently given birth. Her womb still contained a placenta and a severed umbilical cord, and the doctor opined that her pregnancy had been "fairly far along." The doctor decided that he was looking at a case of child abuse, and, as a mandatory reporter, called the police and sent them to Patel's home in search of a newborn baby.
Told that the police were on their way to her home, Patel revealed to the doctor that the fetus was across the street in a dumpster. The doctor relayed that information to the police, who gathered at the shopping center across the street to conduct their search. Patel went into surgery to have the placenta removed; while that was going on, the doctor joined the police outside and assisted them with their search. They found the fetus fairly quickly, exactly where Patel had told them it was, and it was definitely dead.
A criminal investigation was initiated, on the theory that the fetus had been born alive and breathing, and that Patel's neglect had caused its death. Patel was interrogated as she emerged from anesthesia in the recovery room at 3:00 AM, without benefit of a Miranda warning, and was ultimately charged with child neglect and infanticide under Indiana law.
The pretrial investigation uncovered text messages between Patel and a friend in which they had discussed buying abortion drugs online, but there was no evidence that Patel had ever purchased them. Both she and the fetus tested negative for the presence of the drugs. To support its theory that the fetus had been viable, the prosecution hired a pathologist who placed the fetal lungs in water and observed that they floated, and were therefore capable of holding air.
Patel was convicted, after a jury trial, on both counts. She was sentenced on March 30 to twenty years' imprisonment.
I find this case troubling - even horrifying - on many levels. The aggressive prosecution of a woman in her situation raises many very serious issues. Where were the emergency room doctor's ethical loyalties - to his patient, or to the police? Most states have statutes in place that protect doctor-patient communications from disclosure in legal proceedings. The idea is that doctors must be able to treat their patients effectively, without fear of legal reprisal. Where was the confidentiality in this situation? Did Patel have a right to expect that her doctor would not turn her in to the police?
Why was Patel questioned right after coming out of surgery, without benefit of a lawyer and without being advised that she was entitled to one? (The Miranda requirement is federal and not subject to the Indiana legislature's whims.) Many of the questions she was asked while coming out of anesthesia seem unnecessarily harassing and even irrelevant. (According to the UPI report, she was apparently questioned repeatedly about the identity and race of the father.)
On a larger scale, what sort of precedent do we set by prosecuting a case like this? Will women be discouraged from seeking medical assistance after miscarriage, for fear of being charged with a fetus's death? Should a woman who delivers a fetus prematurely at home be given the responsibility of determining its viability and, in her extremis, seeking medical care for it? Will women be charged criminally if they miscarry after engaging in poorly-advised behaviors during pregnancy (drinking alcohol or eating unpasteurized cheese, for instance, or failing to wear a seat belt? Skipping their vitamins)? Patel's defenders have noted, pointedly, that the law under which she was charged has been used only twice - both times against immigrant women. (The other woman apparently attempted suicide by poisoning herself during her pregnancy, and her newborn died shortly after birth.) Is this a simple fact of circumstance, or is there, as Patel's defenders charge, discrimination afoot?
I know many of my readers will have a lot to say about this. Please let me know what your thoughts are, in the comments. I know that this is a highly-charged issue, but I trust you to keep your comments civil.

Jailed For Miscarrying

I was stunned. But also: not. Because we've been going this way for so long, haven't we?
Leaving aside the fact that the lung-float test sounds like exactly what it is (a relic of the 17th century), I can't help but wonder: how will they determine "guilt" in future cases of feticide? What happens when a woman has an accident through no fault of her own and the baby dies? Or even if she does something to endanger the fetus out of ignorance? Or miscalculation (e.g. exercise for a woman who is an athlete)? Why are women not being cared for, supported? Where is Purvi Patel's voice? How could they have convicted her when they didn't even find evidence of the drugs in her system?
I'm afraid for the future. :(

The minister responsible for Translink is calling his first meeting with the transit authority's board "positive."
Peter Fassbender says they all support the vision laid out by the Mayors' Council for the next ten years.
"The challenge now, will be to move forward on those things that we can, and then while we are still looking for opportunities for expansion in the future, and how that might be resourced."
As for the governance side of things, Fassbender says it is important the board, management and the mayors' council have a good working relationship…and work to build the public's confidence.
The meeting was also Fassbender's formal introduction of two recent provincial appointees to the board – former VPD Chief Jim Chu, and former Surrey City Manager Murray Dinwoodie.

Cayden: DetailsMature
The second my phone started ringing I knew who it was. I didn't even need to look at the caller ID to know. I wandered into the kitchen without excusing myself and answered it.
"What do you want?" I asked, a smile pressed on my lips.
"Is that any way to talk to your mother?" the heavy Australian accent that belonged to my Mom said but I could tell she was smiling as well.
"That's dodging the point, Mom".
"Do I need a reason to call my son?"
"You do when he's coming to visit with his boyfriend".
"Alright, you got me. So, when are the two of you coming over?" by the sounds of things she was sat on the porch with a mug of coffee, the surefire sign that she was intending on talking for a long time.
"I don't know right now, one of Maxxie's friends is going through a bit of a rough patch"
"Oh, that's a shame to hear. But seriously, when are you coming over?"
I let out a snort of laughter. "Ever heard of selective hearing, Mom?"
"Yes I have, cheeky. Now answer my question or I'm coming to your place".
"I thought you said my place was a 'sex nest full of lube and jizz'?" I said, fighting the urge to laugh my ass of like the first time she'd said that.
There was silence on her end. I love embarrassing my parents.
"Look, Mom, I'll try and make it down for the end of the week, okay? We're all gross from jetlag and tourist sex anyway".
"Cayden, remember all those years ago when I said I didn't want to know?"
"Yeah, you said you didn't want to know unless you asked" I said, matter-of-factly.
"Watch it, you. Don't think you're too old for a spanking".
"Ooh, yes please" I said huskily and Mom laughed.
"Just let me know when you're coming, okay"
"Will do, Mom" I said and hung up, knowing that if I didn't she'd start rambling about Hadley and Dad and Mrs. Applegate from three doors down who Mom was convinced was spying on her.
I leant on the kitchen counter, not wanting to disturb Maxxie and Rosa. I'm not too good with crying women. A few minutes later Maxxie wandered out.
"Who was on the phone?" he asked. He seriously couldn't guess?
"It was Mom. She's threatened to come here if we don't go see her soon" I said with a smile.
He let out a slight laugh. "Better go see her soon then, eh?"
"Hadley's gonna be home though"
"Is that gonna be okay?"
"Yeah. Mom said he's a little more open towards the whole gay thing. Apparently he's got a bisexual buddy who helped 'change his opinions'"
"Oh right," he smiled.
"Sounds a little suspicious if you ask me" I laughed. Seriously, the homophobe gets a bisexual best friend and all of a sudden being gay isn't so bad? Screams blowjob to me.
"Well you know him better than me, I can't really comment," Maxxie laughed as well, though whether it was over the same thing I wasn't exactly sure.
"Something tells me this will still be off limits while he's around though" I kissed him softly, not really feeling the need to push my tongue in his mouth.
He kissed back, putting a little more passion into it. "No kissing around the lil bro. Got it. Anything else?"
"No hypocrisy rule, bitch" I said with an evil grin. Maxxie just giggled in response. "I'm serious"
"Okay." He said, this serious but sexy look on his face.
"One more thing, hotshot"
"Mom wants us to stay out there a couple days so, and this is her rule not mine, no sex"
"None at all?"
"Well, while the cat's away..." I winked, earning a smile in response. "Dad won't mind as long as he can't hear, Hads'll most likely run off somewhere the second we start kissing so it's all down to Mom if you don't get any"
Maxxie laughed. Did he think I was joking? "We can find somewhere away from the house if we need to. I can cope a couple of days. Can you?" he smirked. Oh, what an absolute whore.
"Hey, I'm not afraid to give myself a handjob if I get needy"
"I'm offended you would choose your hand over me."
"My hand knows all the right moves" I said, sticking my tongue out.
"Then teach me them," he said, his voice husky and dripping with lust and passion.
I hummed. "Maybe later"
Maxxie wound his arms around my waist. It was a little weird considering it was normally me that ended up doing that. "Is that a promise?"
"I don't like maybes" he shifted a little and rested his head on my shoulder.
"Well, if things go well with my parents I'll teach you everything you need to know"
"Why does it depend on how things go with your 'rents?"
I winked. "Details"
"You and your details."
"If you stick around long enough maybe you'll find out some of them"
"I plan on sticking around as long as you'll have me," he laughed and I felt something in my stomach jolt. Oh great, now I'm a lovesick teenager.
"Mmm, that's good to know" I kissed him again, nipping at his bottom lip as I tried to slip my tongue into his mouth.
"It'd be better to know how long you plan on keeping me," he said before kissing me back, wrestling his tongue against mine til I pulled back.
"Details, dollface" I chuckled and Maxxie rolled his eyes. Boy, he really must love me and my details.

I'm at the symfony Camp. Yesterday was all about business. Today is the first technical day.
The weather is great, people are great... Everything is great. More than 40 people are there, this is just incredible!
The first session today was about the future of symfony. The goal of this presentation was to explain all the refactoring I've done recently for symfony 1.1 and to give some early insight on symfony 2.0.
Next, Dave Dash will talk about Zend Lucene and Dustin Whittle will talk about YUI. I think we will have a great afternoon.
You can see more photos of the camp on flickr.

text: UNIX Shells CIS 218 Shells •A shell is a command line interpreter that is the interface between the user and the OS. It is also a programming language. • Shells may be used interactively or non-interactively. In interactive mode, they accept input typed from the keyboard. When executing non-interactively, shells execute commands read from a file. • The shell waits for synchronous commands to complete before accepting more input; asynchronous commands continue to execute in parallel with the shell while it reads and executes additional commands. • The shell: – analyzes each command – performs substitutions – determines what actions are to be performed – performs the actions • Shells also provide a small set of built-in commands (builtins) implementing functionality impossible or inconvenient to obtain via separate utilities. For example, cd, break, continue, and exec) cannot be implemented outside of the shell because they directly manipulate the shell itself. Builtin commands do not generate separate processes. Which Shell? • sh – Bourne shell – Most common, other shells are a superset • csh or tcsh – "C" shell – C-like syntax – Used by UNIX programmers • bash –Bourne again shell' default on Linux – Based on sh, newer versiond has some csh features. • korn – written by David Korn – Based on sh – combines features of bash and csh. • PERL – Program Extract and Reporting Language – sysadmin scripting language pre-dates Internet but used for web programmng. Common shell facilities • Input-output redirection (STDIN, STDOUT): prog < infile > outfile Also << (here document) and >> (append) • Pipeline "|" commands send the output (STDOUT) from one command to STDIN on a subsequent command. • Semicolon ; allows multiple commands on one line • Job control - A job is a program whose execution has been initiated by the user. - Foreground job: a program which has control of the terminal - Background job: runs concurrently with the parent shell and does not take control of the keyboard. - Start a job in the background by appending & - Commands: ^Z, jobs, fg, bg, kill File Name Expansion • * stands in for 0 or more (any) characters • ? stands in for exactly one (any) character • [..] stands for one character contained in the set of .. sh[1-6] stands in for one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 • [^..] stands for one character NOT contained in the set of .. [^oa] stands in for any char except o or a • ~/ stands in for your home directory • Examples - ls *.c - rm file[1-6].? - cd ~/bin - ls ~krueger - ls *.[^oa] Shell Commands • You can run any program in a shell by calling it as you would on the command line. • When you run a program like grep or ls in a shell program, a new process is created. • There are also some built-in UNIX commands where no new process is created (in addition to shell script commands). echo set read exit test shift wait Variables • Variables are placeholders, named locations in memory, where values are stored. • Whitespace or IFS delineate values (see Quoting) – [set] name=value – assignment (no spaces around =) – [set] name= nulls variable, variable exists, no value – $name – replaced by value of name, – ${name} – replaced by value of name, {} delineates varaiable name from adjacent test – unset name - to remove variable • Single value: bindir="/usr/bin" • List of values (separated by spaces): searchdirs="~/tests $HOME/test2 ." String Quoting • Scripting languages are all about replacing text or strings. Usually with some form or "quoting". • Escape "\" quotes the following single character. • Double quotes "" inhibit wildcard replacement only. • Single quotes '' inhibit wildcard replacement, variable substitution and command substitution. • Back quotes ``cause command substitution: command output assigned to a variable. • Quoting is used to remove the special meaning of certain characters or words to the shell. • Quoting can be used to disable special treatment for special characters, to prevent reserved words from being recognized as such, and to prevent parameter expansion. • There are four quoting mechanisms: the escape character, single quotes, double quotes nad back quotes. String Quoting • Escape Character: A non-quoted backslash '\' is the Bash escape character. It preserves the literal value of the next character that follows, with the exception of newline. If a \newline pair appears, and the backslash itself is not quoted, the \newline is treated as a line continuation (that is, it is removed from the input stream and effectively ignored). • Single Quotes: Enclosing characters in single quotes (''') preserves the literal value of each character within the quotes. A single quote may not occur between single quotes, even when preceded by a backslash. • Double Quotes: Enclosing characters in double quotes ('"') preserves the literal value of all characters within the quotes, with the exception of '$', ''', '\', and, when history expansion is enabled, '!'. The characters '$' and ''' retain their special meaning within double quotes. The backslash retains its special meaning only when followed by one of the following characters: '$', ''', '"', '\', or newline. Within double quotes, backslashes that are followed by one of these characters are removed. Backslashes preceding characters without a special meaning are left unmodified. A double quote may be quoted within double quotes by preceding it with a backslash. If enabled, history expansion will be performed unless an '!' appearing in double quotes is escaped using a backslash. The backslash preceding the '!' is not removed. The special parameters '*' and '@' have special meaning when in double quotes, • Command substitution: `` encloses a command and allows re-assignment of command output to a variable. Example: DATE=`date`; echo $DATE ANSI-C Quoting • A double-quoted string preceded by a dollar sign ('$') will cause the string to be translated according to the current locale. If the current locale is C or POSIX, the dollar sign is ignored. If the string is translated and replaced, the replacement is double-quoted. • Words of the form $'string' are treated specially. The word expands to string, with backslash-escaped characters replaced as specified by the ANSI C standard. Backslash escape sequences, if present, are decoded as follows: ANSI-C Characters (man echo) • \a - alert (bell) • \b - backspace • \e - an escape character (not ANSI C) • \f - form feed • \n - newline • \r - carriage return • \t - horizontal tab • \v -vertical tab • \\ - backslash • \' -single quote • \nnn - the eight-bit character whose value is the octal value nnn (one to three digits) • \xHH -the eight-bit character whose value is the hexadecimal value HH (one or two hex digits) • \cx - a control-x character SHELL Operation • Reads its input from a file from a string supplied as an argument to the '-c' invocation option or from the user's terminal. • Breaks the input into words and operators, obeying the quoting rules separated by whitespace or command separators (; | <LF>). Alias expansion is performed by this step • Parses the tokens into simple and compound commands. The first word or token in each string is the command. • Performs the various shell expansions breaking the expanded tokens into lists of filenames and commands and arguments. • Performs any necessary redirections and removes the redirection operators and their operands from the argument list. • Executes the command. • Optionally waits for the command to complete and collects its exit status, • When you give the shell a command, it forks (spawns) a child process to execute the command. While the child process is executing the command, the parent process sleeps. While a process is sleeping, it does not use any computer time but remains inactive, waiting to wake up. When the child process finishes executing the command, it tells its parent of its success or failure via its exit status and then dies. The parent process (which is running the shell) wakes up and prompts for another command. • Shell built-in commands do not spawn child processes. Neither do UNIX built-in commands (previous slide). Commands from the SHELL • A simple command is the kind of command encountered most often. It's just a sequence of words separated by blanks, terminated by one of the shell's control operators – usually RETURN or EOF <LF> character. • A pipeline is a sequence of simple commands separated by one of the control operators '|' or '|&'. The format for a pipeline is command1 [ [| or |&] command2 ...] The output of each command in the pipeline is connected via a pipe to the input of the next command. That is, each command reads the previous command's output. This connection is performed before any redirections specified by the command. • With '|&' is used, the standard error of command1 is connected to command2's standard input through the pipe; it is shorthand for 2>&1 |. This implicit redirection of the standard error is performed after any redirections specified by the command. Commands from the SHELL • A command list is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one of the operators ';', '&', '&&', or '||', and terminated one of ';', '&', or a newline <LF> character. • Of the list operators, '&&' and '||' have equal precedence, followed by ';' and '&', which have equal precedence. Parentheses () can be used to group commands as a single process or change precedence order within a string of commands. • A sequence of one or more newlines may appear in a list to delimit commands, equivalent to a semicolon. • If a command is terminated by the control operator '&', the shell executes the command asynchronously in a subshell. This is known as executing the command in the background. The shell does not wait for the command to finish, and the return status is 0 (true). • The semicolon (;) is a command separator executes a series of commands sequentially by entering them on a single command line and separating each from the next with a semicolon (;). You initiate execution of the sequence of commands by pressing RETURN: $ x ; y ; z<LF> Commands from the SHELL • Commands separated by a ';' are executed sequentially; the shell waits for each command to terminate in turn. The return status is the exit status of the last command executed. • AND and OR lists are sequences of one or more pipelines separated by the control operators '&&' and '||', respectively. AND and OR lists are executed with left associativity. • Parentheses () can be used to group commands as a single process or change precedence order within a string of commands. • An AND list has the form: command1 && command2 command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit status of zero. • An OR list has the form| command1 || command2 command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns a non-zero exit status. • The return status of AND and OR lists is the exit status of the last command executed in the list. Commands from the SHELL • When you enter a long command line and the cursor reaches the right side of the screen, you can use a backslash (\) character to continue the command on the next line. The backslash quotes, or escapes, the NEWLINE character that follows it so that the shell does not treat the NEWLINE as a command terminator. The > is a secondary prompt (PS2) indicating that the shell is waiting for you to continue the unfinished command. • You can use parentheses to group commands. The shell creates a copy of itself, called a subshell, for each group. It treats each group of commands as a job and creates a new process to execute each command . • Each subshell (job) has its own environment, meaning that it has its own set of variables with values that can differ from those of other subshells. The following command line executes commands a and b sequentially in the background while executing c in the background. The shell prompt returns immediately. $ (a ; b) & c & Shell (meta)characters • Char Use • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • <LF> ; () & | > >> < >& >>& << * ? \ ' " '...'

Whispers in the Dark...
Poem by: Addictedtobooks
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
The Voices,
The Whispers,
The constant murmuring,
In the dark,
Insanity at the fringes of my control,
They speak of the worst,
Of the darkness inside,
Of my consuming need,
They lure me,
In sweet hushed lullabies,
In seducing dulcet tones,
As I lose my control,
With the whispers in the dark….

Interesting...I like the words you used...Great poem!...
You got the stuff baby just keep on keeping on.
Great Darkand Original
It's dark alright, although I can't really tell what it is about. Say, ever heard of the anime series called "Jigoku Shoujo"? You'd never believe that a cartoon could be so disturbing and evil. If you like dark things, you should definitely check it out.
this was a really good poem and i very much enjoyed reading it (:
It was good! But try using more rhyming at the end of the sentences. Rhyming helps the poem flow smoothly and it also catches the reader's attention! Also, at the end you used "..." Try not to use that, instead, end it confidently with a period. Hope this helps! Could you read some of my poems too? Thanks!
This is amazing! Keep me updated :)
great work 8D
Once again, amazing, as always.
You have so much emotion in just a few words :o
The title caught my attention the most. A band called Skillet made a song called "Whispers in the Dark" It's really good you should check it if you're into rock/metal :) It's awesome (Y)
My favourite lines were: in sweet hushed lullabies, in seducing dulcet tones ...
those words are incredible. idk why. i think they're just kinda ... contrasting against each other but at the same time ... well, idk how to describe it but that was my fave part.
amazing, massive well done and keep up the great work!
a new wrk style...lyk it
Great flow,good rhythm, nicely put forward. I like it.
oh wow, so wonderfully written, just one great moment to ponder, to clearly understand. GREAT WORK, SO TRUE, TERRIFYING!! Grrrrreat!
Okai, so my first thing was:
You quoted my favourite song by Skillet so ofcourse I read it ;D
Secondly, I love the intensity and yet simplicity of it! It's very hard to pull off too so well done! I loved it
it was very good
great poem. :)
*speechless awe* so good. I gotchills it feltso real. Kmu in future?
this is a good poem, i would say more but im unable to describe it in words--know what i mean? anyways, if you have any more poems, update me?! :) btw i love ur profile--relate
i really liked it! i cant wait to see if u rite more like it!!! :D
sorry im posting so late. beautiful job. the essence leaps of then page (screen)
This is scary;''( But very nice written,I wrote a story for a while called Echo In The Darkeness;)Liked it and thanks for inviting me to read this:)

We've only had one night of frost so far but that was enough to kill all our outdoor tía tô (perilla) plants. Luckily, we've already started winterizing our herbs garden. This year, we're experimenting with hydroponically growing our herbs indoor with the hope that more godlike control over our plants' world will keep us well supplied with fresh herbs until next spring. Growing hydroponically is a technique for growing plants without soil, with well defined nutrients solutions delivered directly to plant roots. Another advantage for us is the ability to heat up the nutrient solution coursing through the system and keep the plants warm in spite of the cold air temperature in the apartment. Lay the nutrient tubing underneath the other pots and even the non-hydroponic plants will have warm happy feet!
There are a number of ways to implement a hydroponic system. Our system is one where a low level of water is constantly flowing across the growth bed. This particular implementation was chosen because of its robustness – in the event of a pump failure, the minimal water level will keep the plants from drying out until the problem can be fixed. The minimal water level is determined by the filling and drainage holes drilled into opposite sides of the planters boxes. Rubber tubing and plastic hose barbs allow all the planters boxes to be connected to each other. The nutrient solution is delivered to one of the planter box and drained from the other end.
Plants were prepared for the hydroponics garden the same way we prepared them for rooting in the spring. In fact, the idea for the hydroponic system came when we noticed that plants in water waiting to be transferred to a proper pot of soil were actually thriving and growing new leaves, branches and so on. That wouldn't have continued indefinitely – the plants needed food and well aerated roots – but the new growths were enough to spark the idea.
To root the plants we made an angled cut (to increase cut surface area in contact with water) in the stems of fresh looking veggies from the market, with both the stem and scissors submerged in water. We aimed to get about 4-5 inches off the top of the plant. All but the top 4 or so leaves were pinched off. Plants were placed in a clean cups with an inch or 2 of water and with at least 1 node (usually a bump on the trunk where side branches and leaves come off) under water. (This was due to the hierarchy of plant cells: not all cells can form new tissues like roots and in many species the multipotent plant cells capable of forming new roots or stems are concentrated at or confined to the nodes. The special cells that could form new plant tissues were actually the original "stem" cells.) In 3-4 weeks, about 60-80% of the cuttings will grow roots. They were then transferred to small pots filled with pea gravel then placed in the flooded planter boxes.
The water system was very simple: An aquarium pump directed water through the planter boxes and an aquarium heater maintained the water temperature at 72 degrees.
Upgrades being considered include an air pump and and airstone to make sure the water was well oxygenated. With all that, another upgrade would be a glass aquarium and a couple of fish – making our winterized garden an aquaponic system as opposed to simply a hydroponic system.
Right now though we're just glad the apartment hasn't been flooded yet.

|602 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
La Dimora is just 100m from the centre of Sant'Agata sui due Golfi, a beautiful resort 9km from Sorrento. High on a hill above the sea, the town offers wonderful views over the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno towards the island of Capri.
La Dimora is in an elegant building built at the end of the seventeenth century. Now completely renovated to the highest standards, the property offers a wonderful home-from-home for up to four people.
Access to La Dimora is along a private road of about 50m. There is space to park up to two cars. You enter through the ancient original door of the house, giving access to an inner courtyard measuring 55m2. This is a lovely place to relax in the sunshine or by the soft light of candles in the evening, with white painted walls and bright flowers in containers. There is a table for four, a parasol and comfortable chairs in which to read a book whilst sipping an espresso or a glass of local wine. There is also a barbeque for al fresco dining.
Beyond the courtyard there is a gorgeous garden measuring 3000m2 and shared with the owners, a family living upstairs. Alive with greenery and flowers, the garden is a wonderful place in which to find a quiet corner to relax, or simply for a stroll.
The property itself is full of character with interesting nooks and crannies. There is a kitchen furnished in typical local style, with beautiful patterned tiles. You will find all essentials including a four burner gas hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and coffee maker. There is also a washing machine, ironing board and iron. Next to the kitchen is a dining area with a table for four. There is internet Wifi throughout the apartment.
Ideal for two couples, or a family with two children, La Dimora offers a double bedroom, and twin beds that can be joined together as a double if requested. The two bedrooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with a television. Each is air conditioned and has an en suite bathroom with shower enclosure, wash basin, toilet, bidet and hairdryer.
There is much to enjoy within Sant'Agata sui due Golfi, including great shops and restaurants, the parish church, the Monastery of Deserto and various archaeological ruins. If you enjoy walking, there are many trails along the coast and inland. The town is also a great centre for many excursions on the Sorrento Peninsula and beyond.
We spent a very nice week in La Dimora at the beginning of June 2016 staying in the ground floor apartments and we really enjoyed our stay. Parts of the building are 16th century and the conversation into two apartments have been done very sympathetically. We had exclusive use of the small garden which although a short walk from the apartment was a good place to relax and when the weather permitted enjoy our meals. Everything was well looked after and lots of things looked new including a washing machine which after driving from the UK came in very useful. It was really good staying somewhere that was close to town so we didn't have to use our car all the time. There's a very good tourist office next to the church but the town isn't at all touristy, green grocers and bread shops and restaurants and if you tire of driving there are buses to Sorrento (which is very touristy). The owners were very friendly and busy finishing the swimming pool which when completed will make this an even better place to stay. The property is close to the Feelings Italy office so close at hand to help with any problems.
We absolutely loved our stay here. From the moment we arrived,, we were made to feel very welcome, the owner greeting us and as a lovely gesture, a home baked cake was waiting for us in the kitchen! The property itself was immaculate, exactly as described, if not better! Every attention to detail has been made, inside and extended outside to the private courtyard! The owners were so discreet, they were there if we needed them, but otherwise, completely private. Small gifts of home-made wine etc were left for us on returning from trips, which we found so welcoming and kind We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return very soon. Plenty to do and see within the immediate area, but we had a hire car and would recommend doing so..

This is beautiful Dorthe I love the colors and this sweet picture. It looks very much like leather and I like to watch how the Tyvek shrinks when you put heat to it, but I have to do it outside as the fumes bother me. Great pieces you create I only wish I had this kind of talent. Hugs, Pearl

Dorthe, this is an especially sweet one! All those layers of interesting textures and in the very middle this precious, chubby-cheeked little angel of a girl! Adorable!
And I found the 8.5 x 11" Tyvek sheets on Ebay 10/$9.99 but it would probably cost you an arm and a leg to have it shipped to Denmark. It's ink jet printable! Which is cool!

What beautiful work you do! I have never used Tyvek but it is calling to me! I noticed you live on the beautiful island of Bornholm. My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend some time there. We went to the art museum, toured a beautiful old church, discovered a Viking dolman, and enjoyed the harbor in Gudjhem. I have such fond memories of Bornholm and Denmark. I would love to return.

Dorthe, this is a gorgeous, really elegant, piece of art. Your experimenting with Tyvek® looks like so much fun. The envelopes are a wonderful way to play, since lots of packaging is of that material now.

The recent controversy has opened the lid to a fresh controversy on the exact date of the Baba's death. As per the medical bulletin that was given out by the hospital in which Baba was admitted, his condition took to the worse only on Apr 15. He was admitted to hospital on Mar 28.
The controversy came to light when the company making the freezer boxes claimed that the box was ordered on Apr 4. The order was apparently placed by Rajendranath Reddy from Bangalore to the Malleswaram (Bangalore) branch of the Coimbatore-based company, Kumar and Co. International that makes such boxes.
Made at a cost of Rs 1.07 lakh, the glass freezer was delivered on time too. A staff in the company said, "The box was transported from Coimbatore to Ulsoor in Bangalore on April 4 and reached Puttaparthi on April 5."
The owner of Kumar and Co. International, Lakshmi feigned innocence in the latest controversy and said, "We did not know it was meant for Sai Baba". She also added that after inquiring with Rajendranath through one of her colleagues, he asked her not to mention the fact to anyone.
One of the trust members, S S Naganand claimed that the freezer box was ordered by the Baba's family, another prominent member P N Bhagwati gave a contrasting claim and said, "I am not aware when the freezer box was ordered or brought to Puttaparthi. I also have no information as to who ordered it and when." The Anantapur district collector B Janardhan Reddy has also refused having any knowledge on the freezer box.

Fair Enough
As far as we can tell, organized barter and sale has been a part of society since hairy knuckles and protruding foreheads. You could wander around a marketplace of salesmen and see that Org had the best stone blades, while Shesha made the finest brontosaurus pie. To this day, cities around the world gather varieties of vendors to share their finest wares and services with curious people looking to spend the day out.
The Scottsdale Street Fair is no different.
