LGC INDIA's OPEN Premieres & Workshops!
No comments yetPosted in Events, Importants, LGC, News, Open - lgc skates Israel, Open PremiereApr 5, 2016
Longboard Girls Crew India's OPEN Premiere and Workshop had a pleasant start today. Five of us girls, skaters and photographers made a road trip to United World College, an IB high school up in the hills on a biodiversity reserve. We Made it just in time (India time that is).Mahindra United World College, UWC MC, is a community of 240 students from around the world, working to unite people and make education a force for peace and sustainability. A movement started in the 60s as a reaction to two World Wars and a Cold War, to bring youth together, often in remote settings, to live and learn together. Students at UWCs are serious about making positive change in the world, and engage in intense study, service-learning and project-based-learning. Today they learnt to longboard.
For the first time in the last two years of holding workshop and demos here in India, we saw a house full of only girls, waiting eagerly for us to start the premiere. The girls were from different parts of the world each with their own fascinating story, from year 1 and year 2 of the college. They showed much interest.
We started with the Ishtar x Tussilago music video which managed to charm the students and invite them to open their minds, Followed by the LGC Open movie. The movie made all the girls eyes lid up, and after we held a moment to answer questions and story telling. The girls even learned some new words this faithful day like gnarly, stoked, bombing hills or shredding to name a few.
Then we headed out to the basket ball court where we gave a demo and lessons to the curious and excited girls. They were quick learners. For many, it was as if they just discovered a new talent they didn't know they had. In no time they were swooshing past each other having fun on the wheels, pushing themselves and the boards. A few boys from nearby villages who are taught on weekends by the school kids, also joined and learned to ride.Some of them were seeing a skateboard for the very first time in their lives. The vibes where amazing.Today we used the language of skateboarding to meet new people on a common ground. All of there amazing girls are all motivated and inspired to change the word for the better. Meeting likeminded people that also burn the same fire lid their trust more in believing in them selfs and also trusting them self being on the right path in life.What ever the passion is, the fire and loving energy is the same, that's why we can connect, that's why we can speak and laugh together. This is why it feels like we've met Long before today.
We are all here to change the world for the better. This is just the beginning.

OPEN premiere in Zurich photo review!

Some months ago (ok, 6 months ago) we hosted with Skullcandy, 7SkyLife & Chixxs on Board the Swiss OPEN premiere in Zurich at the Skullcandy European HQ… and what a day we had!
We started the evening inviting everyone to join us for a Girls Meet, where as usual we introduced ourselves and right after started a super fun game-chain, including longboard tandem races and switch races after getting dizzy. We had so much fun!
After the games were done we started the aperitif with delicious Arab food and the exhibition of the amazing Artist Iuna Tinta while the ultra-famous DJ PHIL from Nnim Clothing was playing the best tunes. Iuna Tinta is an incredibly talented artist and you should definitely check her out! Jameson was also serving delicious cocktails. Not to brag but it was as good as it gets.
The OPEN screening was scheduled for 9pm, which started with a BIG thank you to everyone involved. Skullcandy for being sponsors of the movie, offering their house and arranging big part of the night. 7SkyLife also for sponsoring the movie and being a constant inspiration in Longboard Girl Crew's evolution. Tanja from Chixxs on Board for helping us organize everything and always being so awesome. DJ PHIL, Yuri and the Nnim Clothing crew for liven up our night (without going Phil-crazy). The amazing photographer Fabrice Borgazzi for capturing the whole event with his beautiful photos (you'll see them in a minute!). Our friends who came from close and some from so far away: Ingo & Stephan from Icone Longboards, Heiko from Concrete Wave Skateshop Cologne (big surprise!!!), our friend the Olympian snowboarder Nadja Purtschert and so many amazing women who skate, snow, surf, ski and live life to the fullest. THANK YOU for being there! It was such a magic night.
The screening was awesome and everyone was genuinely stoked on the movie and its message and really amazed by the Director Daniel Etura's work. Bravo Daniel!
Some more party was had after the screening and we call it a night with our hearts filled with stoke and gratitude. Getting together like this and sharing these moments makes everything much more special, so thank you all!
Thanks again to photographer Fabrice Borgazzi for these beautiful photos. All photos by him. You rock Fabrice!

Valeria Kechichian's TEDx Talk "We Ride The Shift"
2 Comments »Posted in Events, Importants, LGC, News, We likeSep 2, 2015
We're more than proud to finally present you Valeria Kechichian's TEDx Talk in Madrid. For those of you who don't know Valeria Co-Founded and runs Longboard Girls Crew.
The theme of the event was "Shaking up the Order" and was perfectly organized by IE – Business School in Madrid. Valeria's talk was "We Ride The Shift". Please take 15 minutes to watch and hear our view on society, women, women in action sports, the absolute need for change and revolution. Also, some of Valeria's personal story and struggles and how she has overcome many of these through skateboarding. Enjoy!
Some of the highlights of the talk:
"The thing is, if you grew up in a mainstream western education like me chances are that you have been taught what you need to do at every age, what they expect from us at every age… born, go to school, we're all the same, we don't focus in any particular gift we may have, we have to fit in, and since we are little we live in a society were the meanest wins.. the strongest and ruthless for boys and the prettiest and meanest for the girls"
Bukovski said:
"Some lose all mind and becomes soul, insane. Some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual. Some lose both and become accepted"
"When it comes to women, among many other things they make us chase these ideals that are impossible to achieve regarding youth, beauty and body shape. They make us think that our looks are more important than anything else we can offer to the world. We're also often portrayed as trophies and highly objectified. The main message I get as a woman is DO NOT LOVE YOURSELF".
"We are giving power to women not only through longboarding or skateboarding but through that feeling of stepping out of their comfort zones, doing something they never thought they would and that feeling affects your whole life. It gives you the empowering sense of freedom. For us, skateboarding is the tool. You chose your own"
They make us think that there are so few spots for women in action sports, in business, in politics or any field that's male dominated that we had to fiercely fight between each other and compete for those few spots… when the truth was absolutely different all the way… we will only REALLY make it if we stick together
"Cause I believe that WE as women and US as a society have much bigger power and potential than what they want us to believe"
"With what we did in our sport, we're inspiring women worldwide to use the same camaraderie forces and apply them in their own fields"
"It doesn't matter what your background is or where you're coming from.. whatever you've been through life, we can all work for change…. We should all work for change"
"It's time to unlearn what we've been taught and start thinking out of the box. It's time to shift"
"Today, the biggest revolution is love. Be revolutionary"
We want to thank each and everyone who made this event possible starting by the amazing staff of IE: Mercedes, Roger, Mica, Marine, Enrik, Rosario, Judy and everyone who dedicated long hours to make it happen. Endless thanks!
Big thanks to the photographers of the photos we used for the presentation: Juan Rayos, Noelia Otegui, Rafael Lucena, Tony3Sixty, Tom Goldwasser and Gádor Salís.
To all the athletes and photographers who gave us their photo to show our version of women by the following order:
1. Cami Best shot by Khaleeq Alfred
2. Lacey Baker shot by Mahfia.tv
3. Nadjia Purtshert shot by David Birri
4. Amanada Powell shot by Matt Kienzle
5. Korina Smirek shot by Jonathan Viey
6. Sina Candrian shot by Vanessa Andrieux
7. Kara Marbe shot by Ishtar Bäcklund
8. Alexandra Arendt shot by Christine Chau
A big and special thanks to sister Kim Woozy, Founder of Mahfia.tv for all your help, assistance and inspiration on this one. Love you sis, thanks forever.
To Laurent Perraud for the endless inspiration and support who along with Coco Taché & Iker Aguirre changed my life and helped me become the woman I'm today, in constant evolution.
To all my friends and family who flew over to Spain to be with me, asked for the day at work or missed class: Mom, Car, Fede, Elena, Coco, Pepe & Thierry. As said, it wouldn't have been the same without you! And to everyone who was with me that day, sent their love and saw it via live-streaming: I love you so much!!
The rEVOLution started already. Let's keep it rolling!

text: The only non-bovine skinned belt I have is a shark from HBE. It's tough as far as abrasion resistance goes but it is not as stiff. It is stiff enough though and attractive to my eye. It's one of my favorites. I noticed the Beltman uses a poly stiffener on his shark and elephant belts but not in his horse or bullhide belts unless requested. He also says elephant is probably the toughest hide around.

6 Books Changing Veganism in 2017
Want to change the way you think about a plant-based life? Pick up a book.
Growing up as the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, I rarely sat down to a dinner table that wasn't dressed with plates full of smoked meats, red caviar, or kotleti. But after I read Jonathan Safran Foer's book Eating Animals, I stopped consuming animal-derived products and became an ethical vegan. Making this life-altering decision is just one of the many reasons why I love to read. Fiction or nonfiction, a thoughtful piece of writing can inspire and even change our perspectives in an instant. Because of this, I'm always looking for new books to help shape and redefine my thoughts on veganism. Based on my research, here are six vegan-related titles I'm adding to my reading list this year to help me stay inspired and "vegucated."
1. What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins
Just how complex is the mind of a fish? According to the findings of fish ethologist Jonathan Balcombe, the answer is "very." Fish can strategize, learn mazes more quickly than dogs can, and change their sexes to maintain social order. They're intelligent, and the way in which humans use and often abuse them affects them more deeply than previously understood. In regards to the book, the Dalai Lama writes that Balcombe "vividly shows that fish have feelings and deserve consideration and protection like other sentient beings."
2. The Soul of an Octopus
Many writers have likened the eight-armed, color-changing, ink-expelling, remarkably intelligent octopus to an alien, but few have admired the creature's uniqueness in the way that Sy Montgomery does in The Soul of an Octopus, a National Book Award Finalist in 2015 that'll make you think twice about ordering calamari or sannakji. In an interview with the National Book Foundation, Montgomery says, "what surprised me most was that a creature so unlike us was clearly capable of forming bonds with humans, and that my relationships with each individual octopus changed forever the way I understand what it means to think, to feel, and to know."
3. A Dog's Purpose
A Dog's Purpose is told from the first-person perspective of a dog who contemplates the meaning of life and the human-dog connection throughout several reincarnations of himself. If that isn't enough to draw you in, here's something: the book has already caught the attention of animal-welfare activists after controversy surrounded the movie version. Plus, it's a New York Times best-seller and favorite of animal lovers everywhere.
4. The Reducetarian Solution: How the Surprisingly Simple Act of Reducing the Amount of Meat in Your Diet Can Transform Your Health and the Planet
If you're not vegan, the idea of eliminating meat, fish, eggs, and dairy entirely might overwhelm you. To remedy this, author Brian Kateman proposes that you become a "reducetarian"—just make an effort to eat less meat. In his book, readers find essays written by Peter Singer, Victoria Moran, and Seth Godin; vegan, vegetarian, and "less meat"-filled recipes; and reasons for taking the reducetarian plunge. Noam Chomsky calls it "a practical way to address the moral case for animal rights, sparing farm animals from suffering, and preserving the environment from destruction." The Reducetarian Solution is available for preorder and will be released in April.
5. Up to This Pointe
In this young adult novel by Jennifer Longo, an aspiring ballet dancer ventures to Alaska after her dreams of joining the San Francisco Ballet are crushed. The reason this book is on this list? Harper, the protagonist, is a vegetarian. Even though the plot isn't focused around vegan issues, it supports the cause to have veg-friendly characters represented in fiction. So if you know a teen, you might recommend to them what Booklist calls "an adventure story with lots of heart"—or just enjoy this book yourself.
6. The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals
If you've ever wanted to better understand the impact that businesses and public policies have on animal industries—and how consumers can create a more humane planet—Wayne Pacelle's 2016 book is for you. United States Senator Cory Booker (NJ) calls it "a brilliant book that celebrates the truth: our economic wellbeing is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of animals. This book is an important moral and pragmatic blueprint for humane, enlightened prosperity for all." The paperback edition of The Humane Economy is available for preorder and will be released in March of 2017.

Description from owner
The TRULLAMIA is a typical arch-shaped lamia in Apulian countryside style, where you can enjoy the rural scenery, situated in a quiet area about 4 km from the village Casalini, where one can find supermarkets and restaurants, and less then 10 minutes from the cities Ostuni and Cisternino. The closest beaches are at about 20 minutes by car. The property lies on the border of the valley of Itria, one of the most fascinating valleys in Puglia, known for the trulli (typical and exclusive cone-shaped houses in stone), the lamias and masserias (big farm houses). The scenery is marked by countless stone walls, constructed with the typical rocks from the neighbourhood, dividing the typical red coloured land into different patches.
The road to the property winds in between stone walls, far away from the hectic city traffic. Once through the gate you drive in between agricultural terraces in different levels of height, separated by naturally built stone walls.

The road to the property winds in between stone walls, far away from the hectic city traffic. Once through the gate you drive in between agricultural terraces in different levels of height, separated by naturally built stone walls.
Behind the private parking space a path leads to a spacious outside sitting area, shaded with a bamboo roof, attached to the house, in style "shabby chic". The furniture evokes the graciousness and beauty of the former days, in harmony with the romantic and enjoying countryside.
The house has 2 entrances: one leads directly into the kitchen, the second and main entrance opens up to the main living and dining area, furnished with a sofa bed, an enjoyable corner cupboard with the dining tools, an antique 6-person dining table and 2 antique wooden trunks for the bed linen.
Adjacent is a small kitchen in natural stone walls, well equipped with an electric oven, a gas hob and a refrigerator.
At the other side, a little hall leads to the bathroom, with a handmade stone carved sink and a large shower, carved out in the rocks. Right next door one finds an attractive and romantic bedroom with a king size bed and a niche cupboard. Through the window on the other side one can admire the landscape.
From the main area, a staircase in wrought iron leads down to the second bedroom, carved out in the rocks, with 2 single beds and a beautiful antique cupboard.
One can also find the "shabby"-style throughout the garden, with a table and sitting areas, offering great views of the area and partly shaded with bamboo.
The house can easily accommodate 5 to 6 people and is ideal for a couple or a family.
The building materials used are carefully chosen in accordance to local traditions and with respect for the environment and the traditional architecture, but also up to modern standards with air conditioning and a heating system, allowing a comfortable stay in all seasons.
The surrounding area is ideal for one who loves long walks, jogging, trekking and bicycling, because one can easily wonder around without any dangers or annoyances, enjoying the scenery and the unseen sunsets in the unspoilt nature of the peaceful countryside.
In the neighbourhood one can visit various tourist high spots, like Ostuni, "the white city"; the baroque Martina Franca, capital of the valley of Itria; Locorotondo, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy; Cisternino, offering great views of the valley; the caves of Castellana, the most spectacular geological site in Italy, with stalagmites and stalactites that through their composition render the inner landscape almost surreal; Alberobello, capital of the trulli and Unesco-patrimonial; the geological site of Egnazia, showing the foundations of an old Messapican and Apulian city of the 5th to the 3rd century B.C., with parts of the former walls and acropolis, and traces of the Romans, such like a town square, streets and a Christian church.
The children can enjoy the Zoosafari close to Fasano, the largest fauna park in Italy, with numerous species of all continents. The park stretches out over 140 hectares, mostly covered with Mediterranean bushes. One part can be visited with your own car (Safari), another part contains pathways through local fauna and a fun park (Fasolandia).
The guests can also relax on the beaches of Polignano and Monopoli, known for their nightlife; Savelletri, known for its restaurants and its exclusive golfcourt; Torre Canne, with its long stretch of gold sandy beach; Marina di Ostuni; Torre Guaceto National Maritime Park, a protected area with typical rock formations alternating with sandy bays, leading to the beaches of Salento.
Location description from owner
The Puglia region
Puglia is a region in southern Italy and is washed by the Adriatic Sea to the east and north and from the Ionian Sea to the south.
It includes the provinces ( from north to south ) of Foggia, Barletta -Andria -Trani , Bari, Taranto, Brindisi and Lecce.
Puglia is the easternmost region of Italy : the location farther east is Punta Palascìa at Otranto , about 80 km from the coasts of Albania and the Greek island of Fanò Diapontie Islands , part of the Ionian Islands .
It has a Mediterranean climate, with blue skies and sunshine for most of the year The region is predominantly agricultural and the rich red earth supports more than 50 million olive trees that produce 10% of olive oil in the world. And ' the largest wine area of Italy and then the vineyards and olive groves are in abundance. You can find interesting and colorful markets in the cities who sell fruit, vegetables , cheese , meat, fish - pretty much everything and incredibly reasonable prices . Eating out is a pleasure , there is a wheel choice at very reasonable prices .
Puglia protects its environment. With the National Parks of the Gargano and the Murgia , marine reserves of the Tremiti Islands and Guaceto Tower , and many other protected areas, Puglia boasts a vast and varied natural landscape, still perfectly intact .
For tourists there is much to see : interesting cities , charming old villages with their charming old towns , baroque churches , castles . And then the campaign . Ravines , plateaus, sinkholes and mark the surface of a landscape strongly characterized by karst phenomena , with its rich natural habitat and its many caves, rock villages and underground churches , wonderful sites that still tell of centuries of human presence , from prehistory to the present day.
Itria Valley is the valley of the trulli par excellence, here there is the highest concentration of trulli scattered : a scenario and exuberant polychrome , a unique and charming . It is a real valley, but an extensive gently undulating hill .
The valley lies between the hills, the other of which has an exuberant landscape and polychrome . Nature is the most authentic expression of a show that hardly fails to surprise a traveler . Sometimes looks rough at times lush , full of colors and shades , but always full of charm and great wonders .
Trulli are ancient and mysterious Apulian dry stone architecture , ubiquitous in the Itria Valley . Arisen as temporary shelters for shepherds and farm implements, processed by the farmers in permanent dwellings , elected by scholars in architectural symbols of the " peasant " , today the trulli are mainly of holiday homes and tourist accommodation , able to guarantee the silence and the peace of the countryside not far away, however, from the ancient villages animated by cultural events.
The trulli , UNESCO World Heritage Site , are distributed throughout the countryside of the Valle d' Itria, as well as the historic farmhouses , the underground presses and " Lammie " , examples of architecture that has been developed to meet the needs of the rural past , and now have become an invaluable cultural heritage . The Lammie ( " liame " ) , old houses are responsive to the needs of stability and comfort. The meaning of liame is country house with a barrel vault.
Located 394 m. above sea level, on a hill overlooking the valley Itria , is a town of 13,000 inhabitants, gathered around his small but beautiful historic center , called one of the " most beautiful villages in Italy " .
Cisternino is a masterpiece of Mediterranean architecture, an architectural puzzle formed in time , all strictly whitewashed from the milk of lime. A maze of streets where you can lose yourself to come out in small squares , in front of an old fountain , crossing arches of passage that always preserve sacred niches with flowers and lighted candles.
In white ancient core , butcher shops specialized in the service of " stove ready " to taste mixed meat roasted in a wood oven . Very beautiful Church dedicated to St. Nicholas and the Norman Tower Swabian or Great Gate main entrance to the town in medieval times. From the numerous natural balconies and the municipal gardens , beautiful panoramas with the look that comes to admire the Itria Valley with the hips hills, the towns of Martina , Locorotondo and Ceglie .
Situated at 310 meters above sea level counts 21,000 inhabitants. The town is in a great location climate . nL'agro cegliese , comes with rolling hills and terraced with stone walls, many trulli which here are called " casedde ." The area has numerous karst caves with beautiful concretions , such as the caves of Montevicoli . Since the 90s the city messapica prides itself in being the "city of art land of gastronomy " for the many evidences of its ancient history and the typical gastronomy , appreciated and recognized throughout Italy , so as to be identified as the "Capital of Apulian gastronomy . "
Martina Franca
With its 435 meters is the highest natural balcony over the valley , has about 50,000 inhabitants. A vibrant city with many commercial , agricultural (production of wines ) and craft - related industrial clothing. Every summer the atrium of the eighteenth century Palazzo Ducale held the " Festival della Valle d' Itria ", a series of the most famous opera houses in Europe. The Doge's Palace, the elegant and striking façade preserves valuable works of Domenico Carella . The old town bears the imprint Baroque in its many palaces, wrought iron balconies and churches , where it finds its most clearly with the Basilica of St. Martin in 1737 .
Just a (410 m . Altitude) owes its name - round spot - the roundness of her white historical center listed among " the most beautiful villages in Italy " . The municipality of Locorotondo is known for its wine " Bianco Doc Locorotondo ." Of note, the neoclassical Mother Church, dedicated to St. George , and the Romanesque church of Santa Maria della Greca , do not miss a visit to the ancient village with pretty cottages to " cummerse " with sloping roofs covered with chiancarelle ( limestone slabs similar to those used for the trulli ) .
It looks lies on three hills at 229 meters above sea level, has a population of 33,000 inhabitants. The historical center, gathered at the top of a hill , is visible in the distance from the coast, the coastal plain and the hills nearby , giving the town a striking appearance . The city is known worldwide as the "White City " for its fairytale charm of the old town with whitewashed houses . Is divided into two very distinct areas : the hill that goes up to the Itria Valley , the plain planted with olive trees in the valley of the city. The green of the olive trees end and merges with the blue of the sea of Marina di Ostuni , which stretches for 20 kilometers from Lido Morelli ( Coastal Dunes Park ) to Lamaforca , with a succession of beautiful places and beaches. Ostuni sea is between the Italian places awarded the " Five Sails " Legambiente and Touring Club, " Green Flag " (first place ) for the beaches ideal for children and reconfirmed "Blue Flag" . In 2013, won the Blue Flag nineteenth and fifth coat of arms of the "Five Sails "
The capital of the trulli is Alberobello
A true world heritage recognized by UNESCO , represented by an agglomeration of 1,500 trulli , to date fully inhabited or used as shops, then visit their site. A center for more than 10 thousand inhabitants, one of a kind ; a real crib white housing with a gray cap and a pyramid maze of streets where it all seems a surreal journey into fairy tales.
Torre Guaceto
It is a marine protected area , nature reserve of the state, and contains, albeit in a not very large area , a large diversity of habitats and landscapes. It ' a unique ecosystem for the biological diversity of the marine reserve and the wetland and the dense Mediterranean scrub myrtle , mastic trees and holm presenting examples , such as juniper , which in this area is presented in its tree .
Mediterranean scrub , sand dunes, marshes with amphibians and migratory birds, beaches of golden yellow , transparent sea and seabed of Posidonia beds are the peculiarities of this place. The dunes of Torre Guaceto not only have landscape value for their beauty , but also play an important role for the protection of cultivated land behind . The dunes behind the dunes is associated with an environment occupied by Mediterranean vegetation , reed beds and ponds.

Make Me Bleed: Ch. 1Mature
Keith saw me and pulled me into his arms at once.
"Are you okay?" his soft voice asked.
I shook my head.
"What happened?"
"I did something bad." I sobbed.
Keith kissed my head.
"It'll be okay, I promise." he comforted me.
His promise didn't make mew feel any better, I knew that nothing I did would ever be better. I did bad things. Really bad things, but everyone thought the bad things would become better. Keith thought they were good things in bad people. I was the bad person, that he loved. The only thing was that that the bad things sucked out all the good that was left in me, so now they was no good left and that ment I would never become any better.
"Keith?" I called his name and he looked my way.
"Yes, Fame. What do you need?"
"Please make me bleed."
"Why would you want that?"
"So I could die, and then I wouldn't be able to hurt people anymore."
"But you haven't hurt anyone."
"Not that you know of."
"You really want that?"
He took out his knife. I held out my hand, but he shook it away. Keith stabbed the knife into his wrist and made his way up his arm.
"Keith, why are you doing that?" I screamed.
"So you know how painful it is . . ." he took in a deep breath then stabbed the knife into his chest.
I watched him fall, what else could I do? I could've stoppped him, but he wanted to die. I put my ear on his chest listening for the beating of a heart. But I heard nothing.

It was just as I left the swimming pool that I saw him, the man whose name I used to have written on my pencil case. He looked older, or at least he swam like an older guy, his head jutting forward and up, turtle-style, his breaststroke as stately as the luxurious suite in which he would no doubt sleep that night. But it was definitely him. Thirty years on, my Smash Hits collection long since dispatched to the council dump, and yet still I would know him in a single glance. The beautiful one. The one who had all the girls, all the drugs and all the best looks.
Wrapped in a towel, I whispered news of this sighting to my husband, who laughed out loud at my beadiness – sunglasses might have been invented to facilitate my gathering of useless intelligence about total strangers – and at my corny taste. Naturally, he would not have known the Beautiful One if he'd come right up to him and begged for a quick squirt of Ambre Solaire.
But still, he was intrigued and for the 24 hours that this once famous group was unaccountably billeted at our hotel, we duly talked of little else, a compulsion born of curiosity, certainly, but also of fluttery unease.
How had time gone by so fast? What had gone wrong – or right – with the world that these people, and us, were, albeit briefly, inhabiting the same space? And was that really a hardback book one of them was reading?
My husband said they were lucky: what a wonderful life. A writer who is down on his luck is broke. You can't tour an old novel. Nor can you remix it, though plenty try. A pop star, so long as he was moderately successful in the first place, can take those creaky hits out on the road and reprise them to a middle-aged audience whose waistlines are about as trim as his own. And if he is pierced, for a moment, by the remembrance of times past – the groupies, the limos, the fat royalty cheques – he can remind himself that listening to a certain drum solo for the 4,000th time is surely better than a life shuffling paperclips.
But I disagreed. It's so sad, I wailed, keeping going when you should be done. In a building, faded grandeur is plangent, but lovely. In a human being, it's purposeless and pathetic, accompanied, as it tends to be, first by thin-skinned pomposity, then by mild delusions and finally by absolute desperation (slowly, the words: "Don't you know who I am?" transmute into the silent cry: "I don't know who I am!").
I kept thinking about Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, a film that should be required viewing for the wannabe famous, the once famous and the might not be famous forever. The buffs call it "noir", as if it were eyeliner, but it's really just about the greatest horror film ever made. Are middle-aged pop stars – I mean the kind whose new "material" no one ever wants to hear – tugged along by hope or by madness? Or is it just that they are unable to earn a living any other way?
Eventually, we moved on. Or the band did (and no, I'm not going to name them; some tender things, one's earliest crush included, are sacred). We went back to our hardbacks and then we came home. And what did we find when we landed at dear old Gatwick?
Only that Tony Blair, a man who looks as if he enjoys the odd squirt of Ambre Solaire himself, would like to make a comeback. Of course, he has been touring the hits for a while, now. Man, that old riff on Islamic extremism! He could play it forever and it would still sound good to his ears.
But the venues – in Kazakhstan and other dubious places – are just too small. He longs, it seems, for the stadiums of old. So he is limbering up. He can't, or won't, promise new material; he is the kind of guy, all false modesty, who will mutter: "This is just something I've been fooling around with" before launching swiftly into a classic. But he clearly believes, because no one in his bubble has thought to tell him otherwise, that the old magic is still within. You can see this Norma Desmond-ish conviction in the lines at the corner of his eyes, as if he were already out there, squinting into the lights as a crowd roars.
Will he get the big booking he longs for? It could go either way. A lot of Stone Roses fans trooped off to Heaton Park last June and enjoyed themselves mightily. On the other hand, my sense is that an awful lot more stayed away. I will never forget the look on my brother's face as he told me how, at the last moment, he'd decided to sell his tickets, the better to preserve the memory of Sheffield University, 1987; it was as if he was about to swoon with relief. And even those who had a great night might not be eager to revisit the experience. Blair, like all of us, must beware nostalgia: it's warm to the touch, but as fleeting as a shoal of minnows.
One thing is for sure: it will be the Labour party that puts the brakes on this, not Blair. History is littered with individuals who should have known better, who should have retired, or retrained, or thrown themselves into charity work, but who went ahead with the big repeat anyway. Lying in the slipstream of departing New Romanticism, I contemplated the toxicity of fame, the hollowing out that occurs when, to paraphrase Wilder, the parade has passed by.
There is a way to deal with it and that is to be utterly ruthless – to scratch its eyes out first. You might call this the JD Salinger approach, though others have pulled it off in a less dramatic fashion (Salinger apparently ceased writing in 1964; I like to think this is because he would rather not have published at all than have published rubbish, and I live in fear of "lost" manuscripts).
But those who go down this path, thorns scratching the soft soles of their feet, are in the minority. Most can't take it.
Like the American film star I heard about, who wore a prosthetic face to the shopping mall and hated every moment of his new-found invisibility, they grieve for what they have lost when mostly they should just be grateful they had a moment at all.

Table of Contents
Where can mold be found in homes?
Although bathrooms (particularly shower stalls) and basements are typical moist areas prone to mold growth, any moist area in the home can be moldy. Drywall, ceiling tiles, carpets, furniture, ductwork, roofing, paneling, wallpaper, under sinks, and the areas around plumbing pipes are examples of areas in the home that can become infested by mold if the requisite growing conditions are present.
Mold from the outdoors can enter the home through open doors, windows, and vents. It may also become attached to clothing, shoes, and pets and therefore be carried indoors.
Mold can have many different colors and sometimes appears as spots. Additionally, a musty odor may be present. Mold growth may also be hidden underneath carpeting, on the back side of wallpaper, and behind drywall or wall paneling. Saunas, greenhouses, and construction areas are places where mold is commonly found.

Thyristors Triacs and Diacs
Figure 1. Thyristor Packages
Examples of common thyristor packages are shown at Figure 1. The construction of a typical medium power thyristor (also called a Silicon Controlled Rectifier or SCR) is shown in Figure 2. It consists of four layers of silicon in a p−n−p−n structure. Its circuit symbol in Figure 3 shows that it is basically a diode, but with an additional terminal, called the GATE.
Figure 2. Typical Thyristor Construction
Figure 3. Thyristor Circuit Symbol
The purpose of the gate is to enable the device to be switched from a non-conducting (forward blocking) mode into a low resistance, forward conducting state. Thus a small current applied to the gate is able to switch a much larger current (at a much higher voltage) applied between anode and cathode. Once the thyristor is conducting however, the gate current may be removed and the device will remain in a conducting state.
To turn the thyristor off, the current flowing between anode and cathode must be reduced below a certain critical "holding current" value, (near to zero); alternatively the anode and cathode may be reverse biased.
The thyristor is normally made to conduct by applying a gating pulse, while the main anode and cathode terminals are forward biased. When the device is reverse biased a gating pulse has no effect.
The main application for thyristors is in the switching of high power loads. They are the switching element in many domestic light dimmers and are also used as control elements in variable or regulated power supplies.
Figure 4 shows a typical characteristic curve for a thyristor. It can be seen that in the reverse biased region it behaves in a similar way to a diode. All current, apart from a small leakage current is blocked (reverse blocking region) until the reverse breakdown region is reached, at which point the insulation due to the depletion layers at the junctions breaks down.
In the forward biased mode, unlike a normal diode, no current apart from a small leakage current flows. This is called the forward blocking mode. If a gating pulse is applied however, the thyristor "fires" and the forward resistance of the device falls to a very low value, allowing very large (several amperes) currents to flow in the forward conducting mode. Thyristors can also be made to fire by applying a very large forward voltage between anode and cathode, but this is not desirable as the device is not then being used to CONTROL conduction.
Figure 4. Typical Thyristor Characteristics
The actual operation of the thyristor can be described by referring to Figure 5, which shows simplified diagrams of the thyristor structure with the p n layers and junctions labelled. (Figures 5a and b)
To understand the operation of a thyristor, think of it as a two-transistor (pnp and npn) model as shown in Figure 5a b and c. If no gate signal is applied, but a voltage is applied (less than forward breakdown voltage) between the top emitter terminal (marked A) and the bottom emitter terminal (marked K) so that A is positive with respect to K, both transistors will be turned off. No current is flowing so the voltage on the gate and cathode will be the same.
Figure 5. The Thyristor "Two Transistor Model"
When the gate is made positive with respect to K by the application of a gating pulse, Tr2 will turn on and its collector voltage will fall rapidly. This will cause the pnp transistor Tr1 base emitter junction to become forward biased, turning on Tr1. A large current will now be flowing between A and K. The action described happens very quickly as the switching on of Tr2 by Tr1 is a form of positive feedback with each transistor collector supplying large current changes to the base of the other.
As Tr1 collector is connected to Tr2 base, the action of switching on Tr1 connects Tr2 base virtually to the high positive voltage at A. This ensures that Tr2 ( and therefore Tr1) remains in conduction, even when the gating pulse is removed.
To turn the transistors off, the voltage across A and K must be reversed or the current flowing through the transistors must be reduced to a very low level, so the base emitter junctions no longer have sufficient forward voltage to maintain conduction.
Because of the thyristor´s ability to switch very large currents at very high (hundreds of volts) voltages, the thyristor is a useful device in power control circuits. It is quite capable of handling AC mains and is used in such circuits as lighting dimmers, motor speed controls etc. They are also widely used as fast acting protection devices in DC power supplies. The switching speed of thyristors is very fast and they are able to switch from fully off to fully on, typically in 1µs.

Although there seem to be a million little details that will go into making your wedding day perfect, most women feel as if their dress is the most important detail of all. From the fabric to the cut and style, what kind of wedding dress you will wear is a huge decision. It's important that you're aware of these wedding dress dos and don'ts before your big day arrives.
Your Own Personal Style
Do: Choose a dress that reflects your personality. When it comes right down to the basics, this is your big day and what you want is important. If you're not a fan of a particular dress (no matter how well it would complement your theme or location), don't wear that dress. It's essential that you choose a dress which reflects who you are and what you love.
Don't: Give in to the 'advice' from your mother-in-law, sister, best friend or groom for choosing a dress. As great as their intentions are, it's not their wedding dress. It's all about what makes you happy and that needs to be the focus of your wedding dress decision.
Your Theme and Location
Do: Consider the theme and location before purchasing a dress. Try to find a gown that will work well with the location and theme of your ceremony. For instance, an expensive, floor-length gown and cathedral veil are not good choices for a beach wedding. Similarly, a casual and short sundress gown is not appropriate for a formal church wedding. Considering the theme and location can help you purchase a gorgeous dress that you will love.
Don't: Be bound by tradition when it comes to choosing the dress. If your theme and location are funky or unique, choose a dress that will work well - but make sure that you love the dress. You don't HAVE to wear a white wedding dress and it doesn't all have to be one color. You don't HAVE to choose a typical A-line wedding dress either. The choice is up to you, so don't be afraid to leave tradition behind.
Your Body Type and Your Gown
Do: Choose a gown that works well with your body type. A-line dresses work well on most body types; however there are some dresses that will not look the best on different bodies. For instance, pear shaped women should avoid silhouette and mermaid-style dresses while very petite women can get lost in a ball gown wedding dress. Speak with your wedding dress consultant about your body shape and finding the dress that is right for you.
Don't: Choose a white dress that will wash you out. Even with white wedding dresses, a color must be chosen. Individuals with fair skin should stay away from the stark white dresses and instead choose an off-white shade like champagne or eggshell. Girls with dark skin can choose pretty much any white because it will look great against the skin. However, if you have yellow or pink undertones, choose a dress that contrasts. So, a girl with yellow undertones should choose a dress that has pink undertones.
By remembering these wedding dress dos and don'ts, you can choose a dress that you will absolutely love for the most important day of your life.

I found a couple of older PC's on my Network with XP Service Pack 2 - Oops!
I checked WSUS & GrouPolicy and made sure they would update which they did.
I did the sensible thing and installed SPK3 on them but they STILL show as SPK2 in the Inventory HOW do I get them to update I tried a scan but that didn't do it.
Thanks in advance

In Spiceworks you mean?
Oct 13, 2011 at 11:25 UTC
Yes in SpiceWorks in the Inventory.
Oct 13, 2011 at 11:27 UTC
Have you run a full Spiceworks scan since the update. A health check wont grab it, a full scan should be run.
Oct 13, 2011 at 11:29 UTC
Also try following the first three steps of this How-To, before running a full scan, if you haven't done so already.
Oct 18, 2011 at 5:34 UTC
I follwoed these steps then did a Full Scan and a Rescan on one PC and the PC (it's actually a couple) still shows up as "Service Pack Major Version 2".
I'm at the point of dumping the DB and starting again but what happens next time!!!
Oct 18, 2011 at 5:37 UTC
just remove the couple of machines in question from spiceworks and then rescan.
Oct 18, 2011 at 11:17 UTC
If you've followed all the suggestions so far and the problem is still there, another option is to contact Spiceworks support directly (email@example.com) and send them your logfiles. They can take a look at your install that way and help you out.

April 2015
BeschreibungTina Johnston is left heartbroken after the man she loves turns her away. She's too young and naïve to be able to understand the immortal, Vietnam warrior who suffers from the nightmare of his past. So she decides to work for the Delvante Clan and train to be an assistant to the immortal Dacians. What she doesn't know is that her first assignment is about to take her into a world of danger and action, in which the very people she's learning to protect are out to hunt her down and make her one of their own.
Vietnam was forty years ago and yet Mike Linder can't forget the horrors of the past. His struggle with PTSD has no place for the lovely, Tina Johnston. As much as he wants her out of his life, he can't bear to be without her. What they shared the past few months is beyond anything he deserves. But when he finds she's gone to work for his boss, Rick Delvante and is sent to infiltrate a group of rogue vampires in Germany, he is beside himself. The only thing he can do is face his worst fear and go into battle once more to bring her home safely.
But what he finds is not the woman he left behind. Is he too late to save his Immortal Angel?
PortraitLoni Lynne, a hybrid, paranormal romance author, published in both traditional and direct publishing, is a former stay-at-home mom and Navy veteran who enjoys reading as much as writing. Born in northern Michigan she grew up all over the country before settling down with her hubby of 25+years in Western Maryland.
With her "twenty-something" year old daughters grown, she now has the ability to take her laptop and travel with her husband on his business trips. She's been to Germany/Europe twice now and calls it her second home.
Check out Loni Lynne's books, Wanted: One Ghost, Distilled Spirits and her Guardians of Dacia series, Immortal Heat.

EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea set to hand Branislav Ivanovic new four-year deal
BRANISLAV IVANOVIC is set to be handed a four-year deal which will see him end his career at Chelsea.
Boss Jose Mourinho is understood to have persuaded the club to break the rule that sees players over 30 offered only one-year deals.
Ivanovic is one of the Blues' most consistent players, but the 31-year-old has been on a comparatively low wage of £75,000-a-week, with his current deal due to end in the summer of next year.
But that figure is to rise to £90,000, ensuring the defender, who joined Chelsea in 2008, will clock-up over a decade at Stamford Bridge.
Serbian Ivanovic has been one of the team's most consistent players and made the right-back role is own, having been bought as a centre-back.

The Hostage Bargain
Hunky Bank Robbers: Book #1
When small town girl Melinda Prescott is taken hostage by three hot bank robbers, she quickly discovers that a life of bank heists, luxury hotels, and kinky menages is way more exciting than working on the family farm. She should be scared of her dominating, fierce captors...but there's something wicked inside her that's craving to obey their every dark desire.
Melinda eagerly throws in with her three smoldering fugitives...and realizes little by little that these are no ordinary bank robbers--and that bad guys aren't always what they seem. But will her delicious captors overcome their own demons enough to let her in? And can they fight a conspiracy that's larger than all of them?

- Newt has one major one. Throughout the film she always refers to Ripley by her name. But after all the length's Ripley goes through to protect her from the aliens especially after destroying the queen. Newt almost tearfully calls Ripley "Mommy" before hugging the battle weary woman.
- The director's cut in particular is one big long Earn Your Happy Ending for both Ripley and Newt. Both of them have lost absolutely everything because of the aliens and they're both more than happy for the other to help fill the sudden void in their lives.
- Ripley and Hicks share a moment, albeit brief. Showing their mutual respect and revealing their first names to each other.
- Another brief moment is Ripley overcoming her prejudices against androids by personally and sincerely applauding Bishop, in saving them from being vaporized.
- "You were always an asshole, Gorman."
- A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but while the survivors are looking at the compound schematics, Hicks lifts Newt up and sits her on the table to make sure that she can see the plans too and feel like she's helping! So cute.
- Arguably Fridge Brilliance as well as Heartwarming; just like Hicks is the only person in the film who actually listens to Ripley, by this point he's also fully aware that Newt must know the layout of the place like the back of her hand and may be able to offer valuable advice.
- When the Alien queen is being airlocked by Ripley, Newt is being sucked out herself. She calls out for Bishop, who, while still split in half, manages to catch her with his one free hand and hold on to her protectively. After it's all over, Newt runs out of Bishop's arms to hug Ripley. After Ripley had spent almost the entire film being hostile and suspicious of him simply because he is an android, Bishop's last line just makes it.
Bishop: "Not bad for a... human."
- And then there is the very last scene, where Ripley reassures Newt before they both go into cryosleep that she thinks they can both dream again now, while looking fondly at the injured Bishop and Hicks, who are both already asleep in their pods.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make a Time Management Schedule with Microsoft Word
Is your life too rushed or unorganized? Follow the steps below to find out how to make a schedule that will help you organise your life!
1Go to 'Insert' in your Word document. Then, click on the button that says 'Table', then just go down to 'Insert Table'.
2Look for a little box with a choice of columns and rows. Plan the table based on your hours; for example, for the columns, type in '8'. For the rows, type in '16'. Unless, of course, you wake up earlier than 8:00am or go to bed later than 9:00pm, in which case you should adjust the columns/rows to fit your daily hours.
3Highlight the top row of the table. Then go 'Layout' and click ' Merge Cells'.
4Go to the row underneath. Write the days of the week in each cell. You should leave the very first cell because you will be putting each hour of your day in that column.
5Move onto the first column. Begin to type in each hour of your day, still leaving the top cell blank. For example, if you wake at 8:00am, put in the first cell '8:00am'; then in the cell beneath that one, type '9:00am', and so on.
6Move into the cell that says 'Monday, 8:00am', and begin to write out your daily schedule/routine.
- If, for example, you have a long class that lasts, let's say, two hours, starting at 10:00am and ending at 12:00pm, then you should highlight those cells and click 'Merge Cells' again. Then, click 'Text Direction' which will change the direction of the text. Then simply type in the event and... tada!
7Don't forget your title. The most likely title would be 'Daily Time Management Schedule' but you can choose whatever title you want.

I'll be off for the rest of the year, returning after New Year's. During the next week I might pop in with an occasional post, or I might not. Who knows? Friday catblogging, however, will appear as usual on Friday.
In the meantime, enjoy what's left of 2013, and let's all hope that 2014 is a whole lot better.
