Engraved Gems: Survivals and Revivals (Studies in the History of Art Series) - edition reliée, livre de poche
New York: G. W. Dillingham, Publisher, Successor to G. W. Carleton & Co., 1894.. Octavo, pp. [i-v] vi-vii [viii] [9] 10-222, original pictorial white wrappers printed in black and gold. Second edition. The rare first edition was published in Little Rock, Arkansas, by Press of Brown Printing Company in 1893. A brief and curious fantasy which weaves together threads from the occult romance or wisdom quest; the shipwreck/desert island/lost race yarn; and the utopian/dystopian dialectic, with a feminist twist. Most critics have misunderstood the tale. A shipwreck victim, Andrew Lowe, is marooned on an unknown island ruled by Diana, an immortal queen with occult powers. (Diana was the Roman counterpart of the virgin Greek goddess, Artemis.) Diana's subjects are descended from an ancient people of unknown origin who were shipwrecked on the island 3,500 years ago. With the help of a sage, Diana has mastered the occult lore contained in a scroll in the possession of her people, including the power of bestowing immortal life or death (she can also revive the dead). The only immortals are the queen and seven princesses. The remainder of her subjects are servants and slaves. Lowe, the only outsider to visit the island during Diana's reign, is well received by the queen, who values his knowledge of the outside world and his teachings about Christianity (some aspects of which are prefigured by the ancient scroll). Diana makes Lowe the first prince of the island kingdom and grants him immortality. Lowe falls in love with Vesta, the youngest princess, who is horrified by his proposal. (The cult of Vesta, Roman goddess of the hearth, was served by the Vestal Virgins.) "[R]ecall those dreadful words. Knowest thou not that the great secret of perpetual life is the total absence of passionate love between the sexes?" Under Diana's reign, the island, has been transformed from a rough wilderness into a "paradise of beauty." Diana is converted to Christianity and decides she would like to be like the son of God and rule her subjects by love. However, she has a vision in which she finds the "tree of life" (which she has been seeking in vain for centuries) and sees Jesus who "shall pluck for me the golden fruit." Diana makes Lowe the king of the island and charges him to rule her people "with justice and mercy." She takes the journey across the dark river to be at His side. Unfortunately, when her power is gone, only Lowe and Vesta, both recently made immortal, survive. The other immortals shrivel and die. The remaining islanders go berserk and Lowe, the "serpent in Eden," and Vesta flee the island in his boat. The island is destroyed when volcanic gases are ignited by a lamp made by Lowe to penetrate the darkness of a deep cavern where the islanders disposed of their dead.

Very good in very good dust jacket. corner slightly bumped. 195 p. Includes illustrations. . At the height of the Peranakan cultural richness between 1910 and 1930, locally carved teak furniture gilded in gold leaf were favoured by wealthier Peranakan families. These "brown and gold" pieces, conceived usually on a grand scal for homes of almost palatial dimensions, displayed intricate designs of equally lavish splendour. A recent revival of interest in collecting these rare and beautiful pieces now ensures the survival of this rich cultural legacy. Brown & Gold features some 80 such pieces found in Singapore, from majestic two-tiered cabinets, wardrobes and sideboards to miniature handkerchief cupboards. ., self-published, 1994, likely Paris, early 19th century. 77pp. Manuscript on paper, in French, written in a uniform script in a significantly later hand (c.1800), docketed copie dun ecrit de cet auteur the manuscript is a complete transcription of a fair copy of an astrological treatise (which first appeared in 1555) written by prominent French astrologer and doctor Jacques de Viard; according to the dedication it was first transcribed in 1573 or 1574 when Viard would have been 56 years old. Containing three pen and ink diagrams depicting the twelve astrological houses with signs for the planetary rulership and planetary joys. Original 19th century wrappers; (edges uniformly browned, slightly brittle). The treatise is dedicated to Charles IX of France (1550-1574) who, at the time of the original transcription (c.1573) would have been suffering with tuberculosis and in his last year of life. The text was possibly revived at the request of the ailing king who, like many of his peers, relied on astrology to predict the future and distinguish the true from the false in their lives. This 19th century copy is an important record and is confirmation of the existence of this text. Jacques de Viard describes himself as, Docteur en chacune faculté: Astrophil, Medecin, Conseiller et Phisiologue ordinaire du Roy et de la Royne, and was an advisor who was intimately associated with the French court. Viard had also published the Fatal Diurnal (1567), a philosophical work, which associated him with the prophetic Nostradamus. Nostradamus (b.1503), a French physician and astrologer, was the official court physician King Charles IX from 1564 until his death in 1566. It is possible Viard had become acting physician-in-ordinary or counselor to the King after Nostradamus death. Undeniably, Viard was part of that circle in which prophecies, horoscope, and conspiracies dominated 16th century; astrology and sky observations played an important role in the courts of Europe at this time. This rare treatise is a fine example which confirms these popular notions. It is an exceptional survival of Viards collected studies on astrology. Viards treatise is dominated by the traditional division of astrology systems into twelve houses (the horoscopes) whose positions depend on time and location rather than on date. Furthermore, the houses are also grouped together by Triplicity, a theory which places one of the four elements (fire, earth, air, and water) in the zodiac sign which it rules. It is possible Viard may have tried to give new elements or theories in his treatise for this branch of astrology in order to satisfy one of the Kings last requests. Rare transcription from a fair copy of an important 16th century astrological text by Jacques de Viard. Made for or associated with the royal court of King Charles IX of France., xxiii, 341 pp. 9 3/8 x 6 1/2. Original blue cloth, gilt titles & top page ridge. Map showing the position of the Southern Appalachians is present opposite title page -- the area spans Maryland, Virginia & West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Includes a wonderful bibliography of important works on folk music. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Olive Dame Campbell (born 1882; died 1954) was an American folklorist. Born Olive Arnold Dame in West Medford, Massachusetts, she married John C. Campbell, American educator, in 1907. After his death, she co-founded and directed the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina in 1925. Further, she helped in the formation of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. After a 1909 grant, she compiled Tennessee and Kentucky folk song lyrics with her husband. These were published in the seminal work, English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians by Cecil Sharp and Olive Campbell (1917, New York). Cecil James Sharp (22 November 1859 - 23 June 1924) was the founding father of the folklore revival in England in the early twentieth century, and many of England's traditional dances and music owe their continuing existence to his work in recording and publishing them. During the years of the First World War, Sharp found it difficult to support himself through his customary efforts at lecturing and writing, and decided to make an extended visit to the United States. The visit, made with his collaborator Maud Karpeles during the years 1916-1918, was a great success. Large audiences came to hear Sharp lecture about folk music, and Sharp also took the opportunity to do field work on English folk songs that had survived in the more remote regions of the southern Appalachian Mountains, pursuing a line of research pioneered by Olive Dame Campbell. Traveling through the mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee, Sharp and Karpeles recorded a treasure trove of folk songs, many using the pentatonic scale and many in versions quite different from those Sharp had collected in rural England. Generally, Sharp recorded the tunes, while Karpeles was responsible for the words. Sharp was greatly struck by the dignity, courtesy, and natural grace of the people who welcomed him and Karpeles in the Appalachians, and he defended their values and their way of life in print. Sharp's work in promoting English folk song dance traditions in the USA is carried on by the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS).

London: MacMillan and Co., Limited, 1882. 3 volumes. First of the Edition. Engraved frontispiece of Milton in each volume. 8vo, handsomely bound in three-quarter tan polished calf over pleasing marbled boards with matching endleaves, the spines with raised bands separating compartments decorated with elaborate gilt panels showing central gilt ornamental devices at the centers surrounded by gilt tooled border work, two dark-brown morocco labels lettered in gilt to each volume, t.e.g. lxix, 312; [vi], 374; [vi], 420 pp. A very handsome and well preserved set, clean and tight and handsome both internally and externally. Only light evidence of age or use. A FINE AND HANDSOME SET. In PARADISE LOST, PARADISE REGAINED and SAMSON AGONISTES Milton revived the heroic verse of Homer and Virgil to frame the tale of Satan and Paradise that has become the best-known epic poem written in English. He had difficulty in finding a publisher because of the plague of 1665, which killed many pressmen, and the Great Fire of the following year, which destroyed many printing housesand those publishers who were still operating were wary of the project because of Milton's anti-Restoration sympathies. Simmons, to whom he finally came, drove a hard bargain, and according to the agreement reached and the number of copies sold Milton was paid a total of 15. Miltons work survives and is revered to this day as amongst the most significant poetry and prose ever penned and additionally important, at a defining moment in the development of the English language. A truly towering figure, Milton remains one of the most celebrated and analyzed poets in English literature. Dryden described Paradise Lost as one of the greatest, most noble and sublime poems which either this age or nation has produced, while Blake, keying in on the poems heretical implications, described Milton as a true Poet, and of the Devils party without knowing it. This thorough collection includes not only Paradise Lost and the other major works, but the sonnets, psalms, translations, and his work in Latin. As well, there is a fine Memoir of Milton and history of his literary work., MacMillan and Co., Limited, 1882, Yale / Gallery. As New. 1997. Hardcover. 0300076975 .

St Johnstone moved to within two points of third-placed Motherwell after Francisco Sandaza's opportunistic double, which took his tally to 12 goals in 16 starts this season, saw off Kilmarnock.
With Motherwell not plying after their match against Dunfermline was called off due to wind damage at Fir Park, St Johnstone closed the gap with a clinical win, ending also ended a miserable run of home results having lost their previous three matches at McDiarmid Park.
In windy conditions, the visitors made the early running, and Gary Harkins was unlucky with a drive that was deflected over the bar by Steven Anderson after 10 minutes.
Paul Heffernan was next to have a go for Kilmarnock, taking a pass from Dean Shiels and stinging Peter Enckelman's palms with a vicious drive. St Johnstone struggled to break Kilmarnock down but Sandaza created space for himself and tested Cammy Bell with a low shot after 17 minutes.
However midway through the first half, St Johnstone went ahead. Jody Morris's corner was met by Dave Mackay, whose shot was blocked on the line by Liam Kelly, but Sandaza buried the rebound. It was harsh on Kilmarnock, although they almost equalised on 30 minutes when Danny Racchi's long-range effort was tipped onto the post by Enckelman.
Kilmarnock also had a strong penalty claim turned down when Dayton's shot appeared to be blocked by David McCracken's arm. St Johnstone doubled their advantage of the stroke of half-time when Sandaza powered home Liam Craig's corner from close range. The Spaniard was taken off to a standing ovation before the end as St Johnstone easily saw out the game.
Graham Carey's stunning long-range strike was the pick of four first-half goals as St Mirren and Dundee United shared the points. The St Mirren winger scored with an unstoppable 25-yard shot from the right wing into the far corner to give his side a 2-1 lead after Steven Thompson and Jon Daly had exchanged strikes.
However, his effort was quickly cancelled out by Stuart Armstrong in an extraordinary spell which saw all of the goals arrive within 10 minutes – and 2-2 proved to be the final score following a goalless second half.
Thompson gave his side the lead after 27 minutes when he reacted first to Carey's ball in from the right, pouncing to send the ball into the left corner of the goal
United responded immediately and were back on level terms after 31 minutes when Daly found the bottom-left corner. Just over 60 seconds later, St Mirren regained the lead thanks to Carey's pearler, but the visitors hit back, however, Stuart Armstrong heading home from close range to equalise for a second time.
Pat Fenlon claimed his first point as Hibernian manager but was denied a victory as Inverness Caledonian Thistle came from behind to earn a draw.
Garry O'Connor's gave the hosts the lead with an eighth-minute free-kick – his first goal since 28 September – but Jonny Hayes easily cut through the Hibs defence and levelled after 41 minutes.
The result saw 10th-placed Inverness retain a four-point lead over Hibs, who moved a point clear of bottom club Dunfermline.
Aberdeen's manager Craig Brown felt his side were unlucky not to take all three points from their goalless draw with Hearts.
The Dons created the best opportunities in an encounter played out in very blustery conditions with Rory Fallon heading wide from close range in the game's best chance before Rob Milsom failed to find the target in the closing minute.
However Brown refused to be too critical of his side despite their failure to pick up a fifth home win. "We have a goalkeeper who has not had a save to make in the entire match and was not threatened in any way," he said. "We had one or two good chances, particularly at the end with the header. We did miss chances but that has been the story of the season."

Celebrate Black History Month and Discover Your Family Heritage!
February is Black History Month, and the Southern History Department is bringing to you The Ties That Bind: Connecting to Your Alabama Slave and Slaveholder Ancestors. This workshop will be held on Saturday, February 6th at 10:00 am in the Arrington Auditorium located on the 4th floor of the Linn- Henley building at the Central branch of The Birmingham Public Library. This is part of our popular topical genealogy workshop series, Beyond the Basics of Genealogy.
Many African Americans become stumped in their genealogical research when they approach slavery and the Civil War. In this workshop, we will go over a number of readily available sources from 1860 to 1870 that can help you to find and to follow your slave ancestor within that critical period of transition. If you had slaveholding ancestors, this workshop will help you discover untapped sources and create a fuller picture of the life of your ancestor. This workshop is free of charge, but registration is requested. To register, contact the Southern History Department of the Birmingham Public Library at 205-226-3665 or email@example.com.
Another opportunity to celebrate Black History Month is the Black Heritage Expo sponsored by the Birmingham African American Genealogy Group (BAAGG). You can experience Black history displays, African dance, Black music, youth in genealogy, and various vendors. The expo will be held on Saturday, February 13th from 10 am to 3:30 pm in the Arrington Auditorium located on the 4th floor of the Linn-Henley building. For more information, contact BAAGG at email@example.com.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, I just like to play in their field.
Title: Remembering What Was Forgotten.
Summary: Merlin is seriously wounded following a hunting incident, with his life on the line his magic weakens and Arthur and Gwaine start to remember. Sequel to 'Underestimated.'
A/N The is a sequel to Underestimated by me, if you haven't read it you probably should before reading this else it may not make much sense. I was inspired by carinims01 to write this!
Chapter One: Blood Of The Sorcerer
It was just a normal day in Camelot when King Prat decided to go one a hunt, the day was warm and bright with not a cloud in the sky. That in itself should have set alarm bells ringing in Merlin's head. But Merlin was enjoying the sun and Arthur's unnaturally good mood far too much to notice.
So when they were attacked by a ten foot Ogre Merlin shouldn't have been surprised- but he was.
Since the unfortunate memory altering incident a few months previous, Agravaine had been revealed to be a traitor and Morgana almost took Camelot- again. But the biggest change was Arthur's marriage to Gwen. Arthur was now well on his way to becoming the King of prophecy and was slowly becoming more and more open minded. So this wasn't the best time for an Ogre to show up.
The Ogre was large green and scary. It bared its blackened teeth at them, its grip on its heavy bat shifting slightly. Before either of them could let out a startled yell it swing the bat down upon them, aiming straight at Arthur.
It was times like this that instincts came into play and Merlin certainly didn't even have time to consider it; he threw himself bodily in front of Arthur.
The bat collided with a sickening crunch upon Merlin's head. Lights exploded in front of Merlin's eyes as he staggered and fell to the floor
"Arthur!" He gasped as he slipped into blissful oblivion. His body lay unmoving on the hard ground, blood pooling around his head.
Arthur lunged forward with Excalibur placing his body in front of the unconscious form of Merlin. The Ogre clumsily swung at Arthur and he managed to quickly dash out of the way, the bat leaving a crater in the ground. Arthur was sweating heavily; he needed to end this quickly. He had to save Merlin. He saw his chance and swung beneath the creatures arm, the blade struck true, sinking into its soft belly with a sickening squelch. It let out a roar of pain as Arthur forcibly pulled the blade out of the now wounded creature. The ogre stumbled dumbly backwards clutching the wound before collapsing- dead.
The sword had never failed him.
"Merlin!" Arthur cried as soon as he realised the Ogre was dead. He threw his sword to the ground and fell to his knees at Merlin's head. He quickly took in the amount of blood and the half collapsed look of Merlin's skull. Forcing his sobs back he spoke urgently "Merlin you're alright, you have to be alright. Do you hear me? I order you not to die." As he spoke he unwillingly let a few traitorous tears to fall before angrily wiping them.
Merlin didn't respond.
Arthur bit back another sob, determined not to let his emotions beat him. They were an hours walk from Camelot, the day was hot and sticky and he had no water. It would be difficult but he had to do it.
Merlin had just saved his life and he had to return the favour. He couldn't go to pieces now, Merlin needed him. His friend needed him.
Arthur sheathed his sword and hefted Merlin onto his shoulder, careful not to bang the man's head. With a determined pace Arthur started the long walk to Camelot.
His back was aching, his legs were burning and his world was beginning to spin, but in the distance he could see the shimmering, glittering and beautiful castle that was Camelot. He had never been gladder to see it. Merlin hadn't stirred once during the journey and he was no longer worried he was now petrified. He knew that this couldn't be a good sign. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest reassured him.
Quickening his unsteady pace he was soon spotted by the two guards at the entrance to Camelot. They rushed over to him and relieved him of his load.
"Get him to Gaius, hurry." Arthur panted, feeling far too light without Merlin. The adrenaline was starting to run out and the lack of water was getting to him. He staggered and one of the Guards started to put Merlin down to help him. "Take him"
"But Sire, let me help you."
"I'm fine, take him to Gaius immediately." They hesitated "Go!" He yelled angrily, he hadn't carried him this distance for him to die because the guards wouldn't listen. They finally left walking quickly as they carried the limp Merlin between him, his head lolling against one of their chests. Arthur sank to the floor tiredly staring after his guards and Merlin, the full events of the day were only just crashing down upon him. He bowed his head as the tears finally caught up with him. He knew that Merlin's chances were slim to none and the feeling of guilt just wouldn't go away. It should have been him.
A few moments later he heard the heavy footsteps heading towards him. He quickly wiped his eyes and looked up.
It was Leon and Percival and they looked worried.
"Sire!" Leon shouted rushing over, as he reached Arthur he gave him a swift glance as though to check all of his limbs were attached and then pulled him to his feet supporting him when he began to sway. "Are you injured?" Arthur shook his aching head.
"The guards said Merlin had been injured. What happened Arthur?" Percival asked, his forehead creased in worry.
"I'll tell the round table later, help me to Gaius" Arthur demanded as he unconsciously straightened his back he threw an arm over Leon's shoulders and prodded Leon into walking.
"But I thought you said you weren't injured?" Leon asked in confusion.
"I'm not, but I have to see Merlin."
Gaius was frantic; Merlin had been brought to his chambers with half his skull caved in. Merlin was barely breathing and it had been hard to deal with, the sight of Merlin's life force caked across his face not to mention the fact he could see the boys brain. Gaius was dealing with it with detached professionalism that did nothing to quell the panic within but did allow him to treat Merlin.
He knew the statistics of head wounds and he knew that if Merlin survived this he would be either brain dead or brain damaged. His Merlin was almost certainly dead.
Death would be better surely than a lifetime of suffering. A lifetime of not being able to do anything for himself. It would be easier to simply let him go.
But Gaius couldn't do that, it wasn't his choice to make to decide who lives and who dies. It went against everything he stood for, not to mention he loved him and even if the odds were against him and even he couldn't even dare to hope. Merlin was a fighter, Merlin was magic and if anyone could survive this it would be him.
Gaius dabbed the wound gingerly, his skull was completely broken. He would most likely have to remove the fractured skull, it would only get infected. He would wait though, see if Merlin could make it a few days before he removed it. With part of his skull missing his brain would be exposed… it was horrible to think of.
He gave him something to clot the blood, he had lost far too much already if the deathly pale skin was anything to go by. If Merlin survived the night it would be a miracle. Gaius finished bandaging his head and sank down on the stool beside Merlin. They were alone now, the guards gone to inform the court.
Gaius tenderly brushed Merlin's hair from his head and sighed softly. "Merlin my dear boy, I think you might have done it this time." His voice cracked and he could feel tears on his face.
His boy was dying and there was next to nothing he could do.
It was then that Arthur rushed in, supported by Leon and Percival. "Sire." Gaius greeted sadly.
"Is he-" Arthur gasped looking from Gaius' tears to Merlin's pale form.
"Not yet."
"He has to be alright, he has to live." Arthur said desperation apparent "You have to do something, you have to save him!" His eyes were wide and jumpy; Leon pushed the protesting King into a chair and forced a glass of water into his hands.
"I am doing everything I can."
"Then why are you sat there?" He yelled "Do something! He's not allowed to die Gaius, he saved my life."
Again Gaius couldn't help but think "Arthur I assure you I will do everything in my power to save him, you have my word. But at this point in time it's up to him."
Arthur nodded gulping down the water and standing up "I have to go to the council, inform them of what happened." He ran a hand through his hair and sent a worried glance at Merlin "Tell me if anything happens."
The unspoken 'inform me if he dies' hung in the air.
"Of course but Arthur, even if he does survive he will have some lasting effects. He won't be the same Merlin anymore."
Arthur closed his eyes tightly "Just keep him alive, we will deal with that when we come to it." He said before heading out of the door with Leon and Percival. Leaving Gaius alone, again.
With the shell of his barely alive son.
"Please Merlin." Gaius couldn't help but beg.
A/N Hope you enjoyed, review and all that lovely stuff!

I won't recite what happened, but his defiant behaviour was noted by a Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada. The reason he wrote this is out of spite, plain and simple, and are ALL lies.

Hi, I'm Polly and I'm a life coach specialising in making the most of life's adventures.
I work best when helping people to explore different ways of living a more adventurous and energetic life. This means something different to each of us. The big question is what does it mean to you?
I believe that the energy that you possess is directly related to your potential. I also believe that life is just too short to put off experiencing happiness and fulfilment. My coaching invites you to create the space and time to work out how to be more mindful, energetic and empowered. We can have fun exploring your potential for an adventurous life and watch you pursue it from a place of awareness, confidence and power.
I place strong value on transparency and the use of humour as we work and learn together. Through coaching, we can tap into that audacious spark that we all have, and help you to find ways to live life passionately.
Look me up on www.adventurouscoaching.com
I have vast experience working with a range of people from different walks of life. I love supporting people to connect with their adventurous streak, tap into what they feel passionate about, and find ways to get more active in their lives, having more fun and doing more of what they love.
More recently my portfolio of clients has included:
* Professional wanting to explore and pursue a new career adventure
* Student seeking the tools to pursue their academic goals from a place of confidence and potential
* Parent looking to have more escapades with family, and energetic approach to parenting
* Youth looking to overcome physical challenges and have a health adventure through fitness activities
* Veteran transitioning to mainstream lifestyle who wants to maintain adventurous and outdoor activities
I am a fully certified Energy Leadership life coach, (ACC) trained through IPEC
(Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching). I am accredited through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
I also have over 21 years of experience as a health professional with an interest in wellness and recovery.
It is my policy to offer a complimentary 'jump in' session before we begin working together.
This way you get to experience what coaching can offer and check that we are a good match.
Sessions currently cost £50 for up to an hour. Once we have agreed to begin working together, we can agree on a payment plan to suit your needs before we get started.
I will send you an invoice and payment can be made through direct payment to my account or through PayPal.
I can also offer gift vouchers.
How I do I coach: I offer a variety of options including face to face coaching, telephone coaching, skype, whatever works best for you. We can meet up at a time to suit you and in the comfort of your own environment. Each coaching session lasts up to an hour.
Head over to my website to check out the packages that I currently offer.
To start, I recommend at least 4 coaching sessions to achieve some results.Client's often negotiate coaching for 4-6 sessions at a time up to 12 sessions. I would recommend weekly/fortnightly sessions to get things started and make an impact. I am happy for us to work together for as long or short a time frame as is useful to you.
I love that coaching enables clients to develop the tools to move things forward after our work is done.
What people have said about my coaching:
"Coaching with Polly has been a very positive and constructive experience. Her endless enthusiasm and generous spirit is an invaluable tool in her role as a coach. She is able to capture this energy through her coaching and help you find those qualities in yourself. She provided an unparalleled feeling of unconditional care and support through the way that she listened and questioned me, she then provided channels and techniques to help me to work through my issues with excellent outcomes for me"Primary School Teacher, Northumberland, England
"I don't know enough positive adjectives to describe our coaching sessions. They had me feeling enthused & understood. Polly's professional, personable & energetic approach helped me give myself permission to 'feel the fear & do it anyway' knowing that it's "normal" to feel phased when embarking on a new life adventure. I will most certainly recommend Polly to my friends. Coaching would be a poorer profession without her amongst it's numbers!
Entrepreneur, Scottish Borders"
I'm a prospective medical school student & was struggling to get my head down to hard work. I needed help to be more creative about how I applied myself to working smarter not harder! Coaching with Polly has enabled me to become more productive, paying attention to making time for fun as well as work. I'm now well on the way to my new adventure.

Cavotec film: shore power and fuel pit systems in the US
In the most recent stage of our round-the-world film trip, we have successfully filmed our shore power systems in operation at San Francisco's Port of Oakland and at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA).
At the Port of Oakland we obtained some excellent footage of AMP (Alternative maritime power) connecting to the APL Singapore, a 4,800 TEU container ship. And at the POLA, under clear blue skies, we were able to film AMP Mobile, see image above.
In the week ahead, we'll be traveling to Las Vegas McCarren International Airport to film fuel pit systems, and the Port of Virginia for footage of our cable reels on STS cranes.

University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tirgu-Mures, Romania
SESSION TITLE: Unusual Problems and Thoracic Surgical Solutions
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Slide
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to analyse our experience with thoracomyoplasty as a re-redo procedure for postoperative complications after thoracic surgery.
METHODS: During 01.01.2005-01.01.2013 we used muscle flaps and thoracomyoplasty in 7 patients having a history of at least 2 major procedures performed through thoracotomy (without considering tube-thoracostomy and open-window thoracostomy). In all the cases the indication for the re—reoperation was the presence of an empyema which could not be controlled by the previous procedures. The principle of the procedure was to perform a complete obliteration of the cavity, closure-reinforcement of the bronchial fistulae (4 cases) and primary closure of the new operative wound. We have used flaps or portion of flaps that were intact after the previous thoracotomies (serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis, subscapular and intercostal).
RESULTS: In all the patients we have achieved obliteration of the cavity and per primam wound healing, with hospitalizations ranging between 30 and 51 days and without significant major morbiditiy. An interesting aspect is that 3 cases were diagnosed with TB based on probes taken in our unit; the absence of a correct antituberculous treatment may be an explanation for the unfavourable evolution of these patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracomyoplasty may be a definitive solution in cases with recurrent postoperative complications. A carefull analysis of the local anatomy allows the use of neighbourhood muscle flaps even after more procedures involving opening of the chest.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: An individualized tailored approach based on muscle flaps and thoracomyoplasty may be used as a definitive solution in cases where other procedures failed.

Cayden: Come Back To BedMature
John smiled up at me. I was surprised myself. It really had been a long time. John had apparently noticed that I wasn't quite sure about it and had let me top and boy did I go at it. I managed to come about three times before John was done. Remind me never to go without sex again. That was unnecessarily embarrassing on my part.
John pulled me down for a slow kiss before letting me flop down next to him to try and catch my breath. I felt his arm slide over my stomach, his hand settling underneath my back. I shivered slightly at his touch. Despite the warmth seeping through our bodies, his arm was cool and a welcome change from the sweaty tangle of sheets I was so used to.
"I missed us" John said once we'd both evened our breathing out.
"Mmm?" I asked sleepily.
"I missed how we used to be. Y'know, when we were kids"
I nodded, already too asleep to really know what he was going on about.
I woke up with John's sleeping figure curled around me almost protectively. He opened his eyes slowly and gave me this cute little sleepy smile. I smiled back before attacking his lips with my own. What can I say? My libido was back with a passion and I had a lot of missed sex to catch up on.
John leant his head back against the cupboard, panting. Now that I was getting back into my old routine I was barely out of breath. John's grip on my back loosened a little as he tried to recover from our last fuck. The guy had barely had time to catch his breath before the both of us were ready to go again which was why he was in such a state now.
Eventually he let his grip on my back fall completely, leaving his legs dangling over the edge of the kitchen counter. I know, I know, it's unhygienic. But can you blame us? We might as well have been horny teenagers again so it was only naturally that we'd fuck in every room we came across. At least twice in each room...
John was just about to say something when there was a knock at the door. C'mon, Mom, not now. We did our best to ignore it but she knocked again. I could faintly hear Beau's little high-pitched voice through the door and knew that she'd look through the mail slot in a second if she was anything like her father.
And as wonderful as my cock is, I doubt it's something a toddler really wants to see. I giggled a little, slipping past the front door and back upstairs. I bit back a laugh as John tried to stealthily follow me up, doing his best not to get caught since all the curtains were open. I sniggered as I realised the chances of the neighbours walking past and seeing John and me at it like rabbits. I know I probably shouldn't have found it so funny but I couldn't help it.
John was still out of breath when he answered the door. I giggled from my hiding place at the top of the stairs as I saw the look Mom gave him. I can't say I blame her, really. I mean, it's not every day you knock on someone's door and they answer it out of breath and with sex hair.
Just please don't ask to meet the girl, Mom.
I scrambled back into the bedroom as Beau started heading for the stairs, hiding under the covers. John came to find me after a while, prodding me through the comforter.
"Come back to bed" I purred, giving him the most seductive look I could manage. Which was pretty damn seductive.
He smiled. "Maybe once Beau's having her nap"

Q. On your recommendation, I tried the Yahoo Answers site and was disappointed by the level of the questions and the amount of spam on the site. It seemed like everyone was taking it as a joke.
A. Me, too. Right after my column a few weeks ago the site was inundated with people, many of whom have paid no attention to the guidelines. It has turned into a chat room and doesn't come close to rivaling Google Answers. If they ever hire enough moderators, I will let you know. But in the meantime the site is a disaster.
Source: Scripps Howard News Service
I've never noticed this sort of behavior on the answers site, but I don't really frequent it. Is this opnion true? What could Yahoo do to avoid this?

With a blizzard prepped and ready to knock around the east coast, those of you in the Northeast might as well cuddle up in a darkened theater and take in some of what Hollywood's offering up this weekend (since by all accounts so far, most theaters will remain open, though a few AMC and Regal locations may be closed). Can a comedy starring one of the funniest up-and-coming actresses shove Warm Bodies out of first place? Let's take a closer look ...
What's the Scoop: Jason Bateman stars as a mild-mannered businessman who travels to Florida to confront the nutty woman (Melissa McCarthy) who stole his identity.
Why It Might Win the Weekend: Ever since she stole every single scene in Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy has been quickly climbing the ranks of big-screen funny women, and pairing her with the hilariously straight Jason Bateman should prove a recipe for success at the box office.
What's the Scoop: Billed as Steven Soderbergh's final theatrical movie before he retires and moves on to other things, Side Effects stars Rooney Mara and Channing Tatum as a couple whose world begins to fall apart after she's prescribed an anti-anxiety drug that has some unexpected side effects.
Why It Might Win the Weekend: The cast is full of familiar folks who've worked with Soderbergh in the past (Tatum, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones), and fans of the director will definitely want to watch his last movie on the big screen seeing as we may never have a chance to see a new Soderbergh film in theaters ever again.
My Prediction: Melissa McCarthy is hotter than hot right now, so expect her wacky antics in Identity Thief to equal a nice chunk of change at the box office.
My Pick of the Week: There's no way I get away with not recommending Side Effects. Not only is it Soderbergh's final big-screen movie, but it's also a damn good thriller. Go check it out.
Alright folks, now it's your turn -- tell us what you're seeing this weekend, as well as which movie you think will win the weekend.
Follow along on Twitter @ErikDavis and @Fandango.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
In 2010, after ten years of painstaking research, archivist, Bob Marley obsessive (and United Reggae contributor) Emmanuel Parata started a website dedicated to the king of reggae: BobMarleyArchive.com.
Therein, those who shared Emmanuel's enthusiasm for the great man could find a wealth of videos, concerts audio, interviews, photographs, newspaper clippings and meditations on his life, legend and music.
On October 21st 2011 some choice material from the website was collected for a digital book entitled 'Bob Marley: Memories Of Jah People' featuring rare photos and recollections by Roger Steffens, Donald Kinsey, Kim Gottlieb, Mike Van Der Linde, Esther Anderson and many more.
But having devoted so much time to the project Emmanuel was not about to rest on his achievement. He and United Reggae have teamed up to improve the book, refashioning the layout and adding 4 new stories and some exclusive photos, shot in France, from his archives.

|1,500 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This charming remodeled country home is nestled on a quiet county road in the Catskill Mountains. The 5 acres offer a variety of interesting spaces including a trout stream, wooded areas, and several open areas. It has a secluded front porch for relaxing and a sunny deck for grilling, eating and more relaxing. Cable TV and internet. Half-way between Windham and Hunter. Owners live nearby and are available.
This is beautiful place and retreat where one feels at home and on vacation at the same time. The house is fully equipped. The views are beautiful with the amazing views of the Catskills mountains and winding streams. Above all what makes this place most delightful, is the hospitability of Lonna and Tom, who made us feel most comfortable. It has been a truly God sent experience, which gave us hope that charity still exist in these most beautiful corners of America, like the Catskills mountains. It has been a good place for reflection, a true "home" and away! We cannot thank you enough Tom and Lonna, may God reward you always in abundant graces!!!
We decided to take a family mini vacation for Memorial Day weekend. The house is beautiful and looks even better than it does on the pictures. I love how the sun shines in through the big windows in the kitchen and living area. The little creek behind the house provided hours and hours of fun to the two babies in our group during the day and at night they caught fireflies in the yard. The kitchen was fully stocked with stuff we needed. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax. We will definitely want to come back here!
We had a fantastic weekend at Eastview! The house was comfortable for six adults. The kitchen is so nice we had everything we needed for meal preparation. We really enjoyed exploring the creek! We were in the area for the Hunter Zip line Tour which was amazing! The house was close to both Hunter and Tannersville which was convenient for shopping or eating out! The owners were so helpful and accommodating we would definitely stay here again!
My friends and our dogs stayed here over Memorial Weekend. First of all the pictures do not do it justice...the house and property are amazing! And we had a great time at the river...we even caught some crawdads. We are hoping to be able to get back up here again this summer!!
Despite it being so last minute, it was very easy and Tom and Lonna had everything covered and very well laid out for us. It was the perfect vacation!
Our stay at Eastview was perfect. Everything is exactly as described and the owners go out of the way to provide everything you could possibly need. The home is warm, cozy, and extremely clean. The views of the mountains and stream were lovely, as well as the morning sun coming into the kitchen/dining/living area. We will be back!
This house was absolutely perfect for us, and at a great price. Everything in the house is so incredibly thoughtful, from fully stocked pantry, stocked utensils and pans, little labels everywhere to tell you where things are and right down to little stuffed animals for the kids. Walking around the stream on the property was also great. My wife and I stayed with our two young children and found that there was plenty of room. We were actually glad to find that you can use the den as a bedroom, and we gave the kids each their own bedroom. To cap it all off, Lonna simply could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We recommend the property highly for anyone.

Sat 16 Jan 10
Revenge was a dish best served cold for Norwich City on Saturday afternoon, as they ran out 5-0 winners on a soaking Weston Homes Community Stadium pitch.
The visitors were clinical in their finishing. They had eight chances in the game and converted five to leave the U's trailing in their wake.
It came after the U's had started the game the brighter in front of their biggest home league gate in 42 years, but when the home side failed to convert their chances, they were made to pay by their opponents, who contended with the tough conditions.
The U's made four changes from the side that had been defeated by Preston in the FA Cup, as Danny Batth, Kem Izzet, Clive Platt and Kevin Lisbie all came into the side for the visit of the Canaries.And they should have been in front within two minutes. Great work by Wordsworth fed the ball back to Tierney and his cross dropped to Fox who, from a central position, fired well over.
The U's had started well and went close again on eight minutes as persistence from Ifil and Platt set up Wordsworth, who worked it through the wet surface and drilled in a fine shot to force an equally good save out of Forster.More good work by Wordsworth three minutes later saw the ball fall to Ifil and, as he desperately tried to work some space, he struck his shot into the arm of Russell, but the referee waved away the U's protests.
And, after the U's bright start, it was the Canaries who took the lead on sixteen minutes. The home side struggled to clear their lines, and Russell Martin helped it to his namesake Chris, who drove in a fierce shot into the bottom corner past Williams.
Tempers flared not long afterwards as Tierney, Martin and Hoolahan saw yellow in a fracas with a coming together on the West Stand touchline.
And, as the disagreement continued in the area, Lisbie was also spoken to the referee. As the free kick was eventually thrown in, the ball skidded into the arms of Forster, who saved well.
The goal had knocked the U's out of their stride somewhat, but Platt struck in a shot from a narrow angle on 25 minutes that forced Forster into another good stop.
But the Canaries were having pressure of their own and, as the half hour mark arrived, they were having a good spell of possession in and around the U's area.
The U's did go close ten minutes before the break, though, as a ball into the area from White fell for Wordsworth to hit on the volley and Forster saved well.
That gave the U's encouragement and again they pressured the Canaries box with a shot from Wordsworth that was well blocked by Nelson.
And they really should have drawn level six minutes before the break. A low cross made its way across to the six yard box and found Ifil on the far post. The ball died on the wet surface in front of him and his stabbed effort went just wide of the post.
Holt was the latest to be booked just before half time for persistent fouling, and the U's were finishing the half on a high.
They came within inches of drawing on 43 minutes as Wordsworth took a free kick that skimmed the outside of the side netting with Forster at full stretch to his right.
But City doubled their advantage as first half injury time got underway. The ball was slid through the U's back four to Martin and, although he looked like the pitch might defy his run in on goal, he kept his composure to finish well past Williams.
The U's would have wanted to start the second half brightly, but found themselves three down shortly after the restart.
The ball dropped in the six yard box and as Okuonghae failed to dig the ball away from danger, Doherty was on hand to smash one into the top corner beyond the helpless Williams.
Batth was then booked as he hauled down Holt near the edge of the box, but the referee waved away the appeals for a red card from the City striker and showed the U's man a yellow.
The third goal forced the U's into a double change - Batth and Baldwin came on for Fox and Odejayi, as the home side sought some sort of path into the game.
But things went from bad to worse for the U's as Okuonghae pulled down Holt in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Hoolahan was on spot kick duties but smacked the bar with his spot kick and, although he tucked home the rebound, his effort didn't stand as no other player had touched the ball in the meantime.
The U's came close on 62 minutes as Ifil and Platt headed the ball into the danger area and Lisbie's final header was flicked just over the crossbar.
Tempers were still frayed - on and off the pitch - and White and Holt came together in another fracas midway through the half.
City brought on Johnson shortly after that coming together and he skipped past White to try and strike a low shot towards goal. But the U's defender had regained his position and slid in to excellently block the effort.
The U's defender then provided an attacking threat as he pushed a ball into the box, which Platt flicked onto the roof of the net with his header.
White was replaced straight after that as the U's introduced Henderson on the right wing with Ifil dropping back to right back.
The U's went close again with fifteen to go as the ball was whipped across the six yard box from a corner, but it just eluded any outstretched home boot in the area.
Henderson then flung a free kick just over the bar, but the U's were left with the game slipping away from them as the clock ran into its final ten minutes.
And the match went even further away from them as the U's overplayed the ball at the back and it allowed Johnson to nip in and strike in a shot that beat Williams and just about made it over the line.
Four became five when a long ball was played over the top and Holt rounded Williams to slot the ball home into the net and heap further despair on the U's.
To complete the day to forget for the home team, Henderson was sent off on his Colchester debut for a lunging foul in the heart of midfield.For the U's, it had been a tough start to life in 2010 with a 7-0 and a 5-0 defeat to begin the year with, but there remains plenty to be positive about as the chase for promotion continues in the second half of the season.

Stoning The Witch - Poem by Cain Lopeck
Dressed in black
During dusk
The witch was scared
And still pressed her luck
Pleading began
The others ran
Towards torches lit
All holding their own can
They stoned he witch
Through many pebbles
Cans slowly became empty
Thanks to the rebels
She made it to her cauldron
Able to relax
The night was over with
Done with all the attacks
Comments about Stoning The Witch by Cain Lopeck
Bri Edwards (7/12/2013 4:19:00 PM)
quite interesting! i never heard such a story. i guess a witch could survive pebbles. rocks you have to watch out for! did she escape on a broom?
in the lines: They stoned he witch
Through many pebbles
do you mean he, as in a male witch, or do you want to write the? And do you really want threw instead of through?
i especially liked:
She made it to her cauldron
Able to relax
The night was over with
Done with all the attacks
i would like an explanation of rebels, but i can survive without it. thanks for sharing. (Report) Reply

England are this morning expected to name an unchanged starting XV for their RBS Six Nations clash with Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster has retained the matchday squad selected for the 26-24 defeat by France and is almost certain to keep faith with the same line-up.
Wing Jonny May and Courtney Lawes will start after recovering from head injuries sustained against Les Bleus.
Captain Chris Robshaw has warned Scotland to be ready for a "massive reaction" from a team smouldering at their Grand Slam-ending defeat in Paris.
England were dispatched in shattering circumstances at the Stade de France when, having nudged 24-19 ahead, wing Gael Fickou glided over in the 77th minute.
Little comfort has been drawn from the character-fuelled fightback staged in a compelling match as Robshaw outlines what is expected from the 2015 World Cup hosts.
"There will have to be a massive reaction. All the guys have been seething a bit. To have gone so close and played so well...." the England captain said.
"Our game is not judged on performance, it is judged on results.
"We need to make sure we turn our performance into results. Both sides lost on the weekend and we want to rectify that.
"No one wants to be called plucky losers. Everyone wants to be winners.
"That's why we play the game - to win the big tournaments. We don't want to play well to finish second every time.
"We've now left ourselves with a lot of work to do and all the guys are up for that.
"We now need a bit of luck along the way but there are certain elements in our hands still."

By Chris Murray, Reno Journal Gazette
LAS VEGAS -- Western Athletic Conference Commissioner Karl Benson had his annual forum Thursday at the WAC football media session. A few quick hits from his talk with the 30 or so reporters in attendance:
-- Expansion. He said the next two schools the WAC adds would be football-playing universities, but he does not know when he will add them. The conference has only seven football-playing schools for the 2012 season and probably won't add any more for that season, Benson said. The commissioner is hoping to have a 12-team conference (with nine football teams) that will
be in two divisions to reduce travel. "Later this afternoon we're going to add the
University of Texas to the WAC," Benson joked.
The WAC lost Boise State to the Mountain West this year, and Hawaii, Fresno State and Nevada will go to the Mountain West in 2012.
-- No split in FBS. Benson said he does not foresee a situation in which schools from leagues with automatic Bowl Championship Series berths and those without automatic berths will split. Still, he admitted a big divide exists among the 351 Division I schools, noting annual budgets for those schools range from $5 million to $145 million.
"I've talked to my counterparts in the automatic qualifying conference and they do not have the desire to spin off," Benson said. "They want some concessions, and we've given them concessions in years past."
- No problem with Boise's blues. After the MWC announced this week that Boise State would not be allowed to wear its all-blue uniforms during home conference games, Benson said that situation was never an issue in the WAC. The commissioner said the conference never had any official talks about Boise State wearing all blue on its blue turf but did hear occasional complaints.
-- Bowl tie-ins. The WAC has three this season, Humanitarian, Hawaii and Poinsettia. The top two finishers in the WAC are guaranteed bowl appearances, with the Poinsettia getting the first selection. Representatives from the Humanitarian, Poinsettia and Rose bowls were at WAC media day. The WAC has only one bowl tie-in in 2012 (Humanitarian) but could place more teams if they are eligible.
-- Utah State staying put. Benson said that Utah State is not leaving the WAC for the Mountain West and that reports that trickled out Wednesday saying that could be the case were "erroneous."

The biggest single business issue that many IT organizations wrestle with is trying to contain the size of the applications portfolio they are asked to manage. Many organizations simply fail to take a hard look at which applications can be retired and, as a result, the cost of the IT infrastructure needed to support all those applications spirals out of control. Here are some tips from Hewlett-Packard about how to rationally clean up the applications portfolio.
