Anthem in the mid-to-late 80's is pretty well known, particularly for the vocals of Eizo Sakamoto, who after leaving Anthem in 1988, rose to superstardom as a solo artist and with his Animetal band. But the material after Eizo's departure is worth a look, particularly the early-90's output such as the album in question, 1990's 'No Smoke Without Fire'. First off, out of the entire Anthem discography, this is far and away the easiest to track down and cheapest to purchase from Ebay or Amazon or what have you. The reason why is apparent as soon as you spin this record: it's Anthem's 'Painkiller'. It was released in the same year as the Judas Priest opus, and the songwriting is just as solid, and at times resplendent, as the album I'm comparing it to. The only difference here is the vocals.
Yukio Morikawa is an incredible vocalist, but like the man he replaced, he is a man with a naturally high range, who sings full-voice, rather than falsetto, and does an incredible job plying his craft here. The triumvirate of tunes that hold this record together are actually the first three, which will tear the face off any Classic Metal fan, without question. 'Shadow Walk' is perhaps the most instantly recognisable of the three, but 'Hungry Soul' is the real gem, here. You will have the second track on this album spinning for weeks to come, and when it's not playing, it will be stuck in your head. It's a downpace, straight-forward Metal tune in the vein of Accept's 'Balls to the Wall' with an awesome driving riff and a bridge and chorus that are instantly memorable. 'Blinded Pain' caps off the unholy trio, with a similarly addictive chorus, but its real strength comes in the reverb-drenched haunting guitar solo sandwiched right in its middle.
The album at this point exchanges most of its catchiness for sheer brutality and thrashiness, which has always been one of Anthem's staples. 'Do You Understand?', 'Voice of Thunderstorm', 'Fever Eyes', and 'The Night We Stand' have a heavy Thrash / Speed Metal vibe, while 'Love on the Edge' and 'Power & the Blood' are more Classic Metal anthems that wouldn't be at all out of place on an Accept album. The songwriting remains spectacular until the very end, with a perfect Metal guitar tone and Morikawa's soaring performance keeping the proceedings together. Anthem experiments throughout this album with some keyboards, but never once do you feel as if it's over the top, and it certainly never detracts from the heaviness. Think of how keyboards were used on 'Painkiller', and you'll get the idea of what's going on. An exceptional album, and my personal favourite in their entire discography. Highly recommended for Classic Metal nerds and fans of bands like Accept and Judas Priest.
Standouts: Shadow Walk, Hungry Soul, Blinded Pain, Love on the Edge

A 70-year-old Western Bulldogs supporter was evicted from Etihad Stadium yesterday for racially abusing two Sydney Swans players.
afl.com.au says the two players abused were believed to be Lance Franklin and Adam Goodes.
"The behaviour of the man was reported to police by other supporters in the stadium," a police spokesperson said.
"The 70-year-old Newport man will receive a penalty notice in relation to offensive behaviour.
"Police have spoken to representatives from the Sydney Swans Football Club and have been advised the comments were not heard by any players."
Goodes was at the centre of a similar incident last year when he was racially abused by a teenage Collingwood fan.

With the budget offering little to the chemicals industry it is time to pile on to the rural rickshaw and hope for a trickle down efect from the enhanced spending that the government has planned in this part of India.
Photo by BriceFR
This is entirely possible. More money in the hands of the rural population through various schemes including one that offers guaranteed employment should boost demand for a wide variety of products. We have already experienced the power of the rural market. During last year's crisis, demand from the rural population had saved many companies.
Another plus should be the increased allocation of funds for the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). This programme will among other things, invest in new water and sanitation pipes in 65 cities around the country. It is estimated that investment in each city would result in 4000-5000 tonnes of additional polymer demand for pipes.
But I was surprised at the government's decision to double excise duty on manmade fibres (polyester, acrylic and nylon) and yarn to 8% especially as the industry has been pushing hard for a level playing field with cotton. They had been asking for removal of excise and customs duty on these fibres.
The increase comes at a time when the textile industry has been battling hard to overcome reduced demand from the export market. The move, big negative for companies such as Reliance Industriesand Indorama Synthetics, has drawn strong criticism from the industry. But is the government listening?
The government also appears to be paying scant attention to yet another demand – removal of 5% import duty on naphtha used for polymer production.

Smith (Alexander W.) Letter, 1857
Historical Note
Alexander W. Smith served under Edward Fitzgerald Beale as the wagon master during an expedition to survey a wagon road from Fort Defiance, New Mexico, through Arizona and Texas to the Colorado River. The former wagon master Gwinn Harris Heap resigned after an argument with Beale, and Smith was promoted to the position. The expedition included twenty-five camels with Arab and Turkish handlers to test their usefulness during cattle drives. The trail, now known as the Beale Wagon-Road, became a main route for settlers moving west and later part of Route 66.

The Alexander W. Smith Letter, 1857, from Smith to James Andrews, dated Ft. Tejon, December 1, 1857, summarizes the expedition until its end at Fort Tejon on November 22. Smith writes about the health of the company ("all well without any one having required even a dose of medicine"), the dangers of traveling through "hostile Indian country," and the agricultural landscape and economy of Texas. The letter also contains a description of New Mexico's population, agriculture, and climate. Smith closes the letter with an anecdote about Beale's encounter with 500 Native American warriors in Colorado.

It is sad isn't it. It is a lot for you to deal with when you have both parents with different and sometimes conflicting needs and you are trying to help both of them. It is good your mum can have a chat with the other ladies.
I think it is quite reasonable to ask how she spends her days. You may be able to suggest things to help the staff too. Does your mum and dad have any photographs at the home? The only think my mum is interested in really is photographs and it gives the staff something to talk to her about. I mention them from time to time to remind them. Occasionally I buy her a paper but have stopped taking magazines as she doesn't read them. She is happy to receive a paper but again I don't know how much she reads but it doesn't matter as she is happy to have it There are magazines about and I sometimes leave her with one when I go when she is having a good day. Many residents watch a lot of telly but it tends to annoy mum so when she is in the small lounge it is usually off.
The home has games (dominoes, skittles), jigsaws, functions like cheese tasting or sales during the day and they do things like hand massage and nail painting. Some of the ladies have their hair done every week when the hairdresser comes. They have things like mega blocks and musical instruments but I haven't seen them get much use. They take residents for a walk when the weather is good and have outings to places like cafes, mcdonalds, shops etc. Occasionally there is a trip to a zoo or the seaside. They have a bar and entertainment on thursdays! Mum has only been there since Nov and they tried to take her shopping before xmas but she refused to go and kept taking her seatbelt off in the mini bus. They may try again at some point. They take her outside or to functions but she can get quite agitated by them. She has never been one for long but they try. She has had her nails painted a couple of times and likes to sit and chat. The rest she won't join in and isn't interested but again they do try regularly.
At home, mum only used to read and watch soaps but she cannot concentrate on either now. She looked at photos when bored and liked a chat so pretty much the same there. She used to like to play with my son but struggles now to concentrate although she likes to watch him on a good day and is pleased to see him.
Hope you get to see the manager. There is usually someone in mums care home on duty as management if you want a chat about what is happening. Be this the manager/matron or owner or someone else. The manager is always encouraging relatives to discuss things and will come and chat if you visit when she is around. We are very lucky it seems in that sense. When I have been worried about anything, a chat with her usually makes me feel better and she knows what is happening on the floor as it where.

Champion New Zealand distaffer Sunline managed yet more history in Melbourne on July 30 and she wasn't even there. Before being named Australian Horse of the Year for an unprecedented third time, the history-making working girl from Auckland was inducted into the Australian Hall of Fame.Australian racing authorities have come late to the concept, starting only last year, but equine Hall of Famers tend to be dead, and for the best part of some time. Phar Lap led off the first five in 2001. Expect Sunline to remain unique for a long time as an inductee while still racing.The annual poll of Australian media and major race club chief executives made it 62.5 votes ahead of 53 polled by Melbourne Cup (Aust-I) heroine Ethereal. Northerly, Sunline's conqueror when she attempted a W.S. Cox Plate (Aust-I) hat trick last October, was third with 42.5 votes. Some voters cast split-ballots and factions behind Ethereal and Northerly also played for Sunline.Only eight females have earned Australia's Horse of the Year honor. Only one other horse, Hall of Famer Might and Power, has earned the title twice. The daughter of Desert Sun won six of her nine starts at age six in 2001-02 and was second in the other three. The pinnacle came in her narrow win in the Doncaster Handicap and her All-Aged Stakes demolition. The Randwick mile triumphs in the fall took her career earnings to $11,019,741 (Australian funds), and secured her ninth and tenth grade I successes. They also ensured her deeds stayed fresh in the minds of voters.Northerly, who has beaten Sunline twice, was named Leading Middle-Distance Galloper ahead of Sunline (117.5 to 39.5). Northerly narrowly beat Sunline in Cox prep and the Feehan Stakes (Aust-II) also at Moonee Valley. Northerly might have collected the major award but for his defeat by fellow Western Australian, Old Comrade, when defending the Australian Cup (Aust-I) in a rushed fall campaign.Except for two botched ballots out of the 159 counted, Ethereal was unanimously voted Champion Stayer. The daughter of Rhythm was unbeaten in three major races from 2,400 meters, also securing the Caulfield Cup and weight-for-age Tancred Classic at gr.1 with her trademark late charges. As Sunline races on at seven this spring, the other great daughter of New Zealand could be in foal to Giant's Causeway. Falvelon, was named leading Sprinter ahead of the ultra-consistent 3-year-old Mistegic - 82.5 to 59.5.
Octagonal's high class son Lonhro emerged as a clear choice for leading 3-year-old, polling 112 votes, Australian Derby (Aust-I) winner Don Eduardo next on 19. The afore-mentioned Viscount managed just six votes. The juvenile section was also a runaway with Victory Vein miles ahead of her rivals with a tally of 123.St. Stephen, who created history in winning the $1 million (US) Nakayama Grand Jump in Japan on April 13, repeated his Leading Steeplechaser award a week after collecting a second A.V. Hiskins Steeple at Moonee Valley.But the night at Melbourne's Crown casino belonged to Sunline. It also belonged to senior part-owner Trevor McKee. The veteran Auckland conditioner races the mare with Thayne Green and Helen Lusty and trains her with his son Stephen.Later in August she will be named New Zealand Horse of the Year for the fourth time. More Sunline history in the making. Who is to say she won't belatedly collect her third Cox Plate come October 26.

Home > News > 2013 News Releases > MU Children's Hospital, Kohl's to Offer Free Bicycle Helmets, Fittings
View Additional Section Content
Published on November 13, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - University of Missouri Children's Hospital and Kohl's Department Stores are teaming up for a free bicycle helmet giveaway and fitting event from 10:30 to noon Friday, Nov. 15, at MU Women's and Children's Hospital's Conference Center, 404 Keene Street in Columbia.
The first 50 children 14 years old and younger attending the event will receive a free bicycle helmet and fitting. Trained safety experts also will be available to answer questions from parents about bicycle safety.
The free helmets are provided through Kohl's annual support of the Kohl's Safety Store at MU Children's Hospital. The online store provides car seats, bicycle helmets and additional safety items to families in 10 mid-Missouri counties.
Kicking off the event, Kohl's will renew its support of the Kohl's Safety Store with a $31,125 donation to MU Children's Hospital. Representatives from both organizations will attend the check presentation.
"We are grateful for Kohl's continued support of MU Children's Hospital and our efforts to prevent accidental injuries in mid-Missouri children," said George Koburov, M.D., medical director of Children's Hospital's emergency department. "The Kohl's Safety Store is a wonderful resource for families to receive life-saving safety equipment. We encourage anyone in need of these resources to contact MU Children's Hospital."
The Kohl's Safety Store features a website where mid-Missouri families can view available child safety items. The website also features instructions on how to order items.
Among the items available at the Kohl's Safety Store are booster seats, including high-back booster seats, child safety seats, bicycle helmets, personal flotation devices and reflective devices that allow children to be seen by motorists in the dark.
The Kohl's Safety Store is designed to assist families who would not have the financial means to purchase these items without the assistance of the safety store. Families seeking assistance from the online store must live in one of 10 mid-Missouri counties to qualify: Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Cole, Cooper, Howard, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan or Randolph.
University of Missouri Health Care's injury prevention program works to educate children and families on safety and preventing childhood injuries and death. The program has benefited from the generosity of Kohl's. Since 2007, Kohl's has donated approximately $240,000 to Children's Hospital through the Kohl's Cares program.
Kohl's commitment to MU Children's Hospital is made possible through the Kohl's Cares merchandise program. Through this initiative, Kohl's sells $5 books and plush toys, and 100 percent of net profits benefit children's health and education programs nationwide, including hospital partnerships.

Sir Mick was greeted by shouts of "Happy birthday" and "We love you" as crowds gathered outside the Duplex club in Wenceslas Square.
Guests included former Czech president Vaclav Havel who befriended the Stones during their first visit to the country in 1990.
Sir Mick had earlier spent the day in the city's Four Seasons Hotel, visiting the British embassy before heading to the party.
Jagger, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood and Keith Richards are in Prague as part of their Forty Licks world tour, which saw them play the city's Letna Park on Sunday.
Born in Dartford, Kent in 1943, Sir Mick formed the Stones with guitarist Keith Richards, who also grew up in the area, and himself turns 60 in December.
An early Stones line-up played their first show at the Marquee Club in London in July 1962. Over the next two years Watts, Wyman and guitarist Brian Jones joined them, and the Stones scored the first of a series of five consecutive number ones in July 1964 with It's All Over Now.
The band went on to find international fame - with the press particularly fascinated by Sir Mick's complex private life, ever since British papers asked in the early 1960s, "would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?".
The Stones' tour comes to the UK and Ireland in August, with dates in London, Dublin, Manchester and Glasgow, including a club date at London's Astoria venue.

Hi Clare
Good luck with this. It has always been seen as a 'hole'. You might find Arizpe and Styles' chapter in 'The Routledge Companion' useful, 'sidelines: some neglected dimensions of children's literature'. Beyond this, I remember Peter Hollindale giving a talk in mid 1990s about this neglected area. He then intended to publish something on it but not sure he ever did.
Good luck!

Subject: Criticism on drama for children and young adults
Dear All,
Can anyone suggest any criticism of drama for children and young adults for a chapter in a forthcoming Palgrave Macmillan book on essential criticism of modern children's literature to be co-authored by Pat Pinsent and me? There appears to be a complete dearth of criticism (with the notable exception of the many aritcles and books on Peter Pan), in spite of the fact that there have been many critically acclaimed stage adaptations of children's books, most recently, of course, Tim Minchin's award-winning Matilda. In addition, there has been a great deal of specially commissioned work for young people(notably the Shell Connections series for the National Theatre), as well as some very interesting individual playwrights who have written specifically for young people, especially in Scotland (I am thinking of the work of David Grieg, for instance).
I would be grateful for any suggestions of relevant work in the field, especially that which involves the close reading of the texts in question as works of dramatic literature, rather than work that emphasises aspects of their performance history.
Best wishes - Clare

Although the vice presidency is a largely ceremonial office, Mr Haz's opinions about Islamic radicalism are politically significant. Since September 11, he has emerged as one of the most influential architects of the Government's approach to dealing with terrorism, a role that has troubled the US and some of Indonesia's neighbours.
Indonesian officials and Western diplomats said Mr Haz had counselled President Megawati Sukarnoputri to move cautiously in rounding up alleged terrorists and clamping down on extremist groups, arguing that such actions require not just suspicions but proof of wrongdoing, which the country's intelligence service does not have.
So far, Mrs Megawati appears to be heeding that message. Despite requests from the governments of Singapore and Malaysia, Indonesian authorities have not arrested Mr Bashir, who runs a large religious school where he lionises Osama bin Laden and preaches about the importance of fighting holy wars. Government officials said they do not have evidence that he had broken Indonesian laws.
Although Western diplomats in Indonesia said they respected Indonesia's insistence on having evidence before making arrests, they question whether authorities have been looking hard enough.
''They're not really at the point where they see international terrorism as a big problem for them," a senior US official said.

When it was completed in September 1999, the purpose-built site at Cleddau Bridge - dubbed Cyber Bay because it also hosted a range of so-called new economy companies - was hailed as "the beginning of a new era" by Wales's First Minister, Rhodri Morgan.
Business leaders all but jostled with the politicians to talk about how the centre was "a unique model which could be emulated in other areas of the UK and Europe".
But that dream now appears to be over, and the Welsh Assembly and its business leaders are left looking for a replacement for an outlet which was pumping some �250,000 into the west Wales economy each week.
The site, which was completed in September 1999 and funded by the Welsh Development Agency, opened with 200 Manpower service centre staff and soon took on 600 more.
By 2000, the assembly's economic development bosses were hoping that up to 1,100 call centre jobs would be created.
The faith in the emerging call centre sector was underlined when it was selected as a suitable site for a Royal visit.
When the Queen came to Wales in May that year to officially open the assembly building in Cardiff Bay, Prince Philip called in at Cleddau Bridge to see how customer calls from across the UK were handled.
Pembrokeshire County Council was given �1.5m to assist in the jobs initiative which was the biggest investment for three decades in the jobs black spot, far west of the more prosperous M4 corridor.
It soon seemed show itself as the right employer in the right place when the mobile telephone company 1st Line announced the closure of its call centres along the coast in Swansea and Cardiff with the loss of 2,000 jobs.
But ITV Digital's own-goal with the Football League - and the �178.5m it owes for a three-year broadcast rights deal - has proved too much for the skills of the hi-tech centre's 900 staff.
The two agencies which employ the centre's workers, Manpower and 7C, are expected to keep on a small staff to show potential clients how their operation is run.
Like any of the league football teams at the heart of the dispute, they are looking for a result.

By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY
Traditional herbal supplements used by thousands of Americans may contain dangerously high levels of lead and other toxins, a study shows.
Nearly 21% of Ayurvedic medicines — plant-based products used in India for thousands of years to promote health — actually contain lead, mercury or arsenic, according to a study in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
Arsenic can cause cancer. Lead and mercury can damage the kidneys and brain, especially in children, says study author Robert Saper of the Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center. More than 80 people have developed lead poisoning worldwide from Ayurvedic medicines since 1978, the study notes. Symptoms include fatigue, anemia and abdominal pain.
Although Ayurvedic medications are largely used by adults to treat problems ranging from indigestion to infertility, about 4% of the 193 products that Saper tested were labeled for use in children.
ON THE WEB: Article summary in 'JAMA'
Saper and his colleagues purchased all of the medicines on the Internet. In a 2004 study, he also found lead, mercury and arsenic in 20% of Ayurvedic supplements sold in Boston-area stores. About 750,000 Americans have used Ayurvedic medicine, says Michael McGuffin of the American Herbal Products Association, whose members include the makers of traditional herbal products.
Manufacturers and the owners of websites mentioned in the article say they carefully test their products for safety. Peter Bowes, owner of Seattle-based Tattva's Herbs, says his company's own tests found much lower lead levels than those listed in the study.
McGuffin notes that it may be impossible to ensure that herbal products are 100% lead-free, because even fruits, vegetables and dairy products can be contaminated with lead, which can be found in soil or water.
McGuffin notes that government and professional agencies set widely different safety standards for lead, mercury and arsenic. While most of the products in Saper's article have lead levels that exceed California's standard, only two violate the World Health Organization's standard.
Saper says the Food and Drug Administration should set maximum daily dose limits for toxic metals in dietary supplements. Although the FDA currently doesn't specify how much lead is permitted in these products, it can pull products off the market if they're found to be unsafe. The FDA, for example, banned Ayurvedic products cited in Saper's 2004 study.
McGuffin says the government and industry should seriously consider such limits: "If we know what the target is, it makes it easier to hit the target."

No *S.O.S. reports this week
The S.O.S. (*Signs of Spring) reports came to a halt this week.
Dave Arnold's account of the premature mosquito attack was the last report. As Dave is Brownstown's resident (an honor, and gift, passed on to him from his aunt, the late Ruby Goldsboro) we figured a bit of poetry and prose would be forthcoming about the experience, but thus far, we have heard no more from him. He is a soul brother, because he appreciates the good things in life, such as morel mushrooms, about which he once wrote a poem … and …
Baby Bucky Burro …
… is ready for spring! On the cold winter nights, Bill shuts their doors so the cold wind doesn't blow in to their beds. Bucky doesn't seem to appreciate this, as he likes to run and play, but the doors are opened, as soon as advisable, for him. Mom Madricka Burro and Lady, the senior mini-horse, do seem to appreciate the thoughtfulness of closing the doors.
Attend Birthday Party
Dane and Belinda Harpster of St. Peter attended the 11th birthday party of their oldest granddaughter, Madison Eller, on Saturday at her home in Jackson, Mo. Those attending were: Ron, Diane and Anna Lou Eller, Carol Stein, Natalie Stein, Rhonda Hunter, Heidi Hunter and fiancé Austin, Dru Eller, and Owen and Aaron Harpster.
Dane and Belinda spent Thursday through Sunday with Owen and Aaron Harpster at the home of Mitch and Gretchen Harpster.

Bucky, the Burro, Kicking Up His Heels …
… in anticipation of spring? Baby Bucky had been napping in the sunshine and, upon waking up from his nap, he ran and was kicking up his heels in the sunshine. We wondered if he was anticipating, and welcoming, spring, as it was a really nice, warm day.
On the other hand, Katie …
Attends Visitation
Dane and Belinda Harpster attended the visitation of Leo Hanneken on Sunday in Washington, Mo. Leo was the grandfather of Dane and Belinda's son-in-law, Nathan Jacquin.

In answer to inquiries
Betsy, the sweet little senior longhorn cow, has gone on to ever-greener pastures.
She held her head up, never stopped eating or drinking and never seemed to be in pain; she simply lay down next to the hayrack and wouldn't get back up. Bill tried to help her up, but she wouldn't make any effort.
Dr. Bristow prescribed aspirin for her and suggested warm water to drink. Bill provided her good shelter to shield her from rain, snow and wind, plus a warm blanket.
Attend Birthday Party
Dane and Belinda Harpster of St. Peter spent the weekend with Ben, Amanda, Madison and Dru Eller of Jackson, Mo.
On Saturday, they attended the second birthday party of grandson Aaron Harpster at his home.
Others attending were: Mitch, Gretchen and Owen Harpster, Tom and Patty Spitzmiller, Natalie Stein, Carolyn Stein, Doug and Pam Stein, Heidi Hunter and Austin, and Rhonda and Aubrey Hunter.

To anyone that pays attention, it is obvious that the Tea Party is racist. In the latest example, Al Reynolds, who is considered the Tea Party candidate in Illinois' 52nd District decided to share his opinion on Black men and college.
"I've been in the city and the dichotomy of the women and the men in the minorities, there is a difference in the fact that most minority women, either the single parent or coming from a poor neighborhood, are motivated more so than the minority men," Reynolds said, when asked what he would do to increase diversity at state colleges. "And it's a pretty good reason. Most of the women who are single parents have to find work to support their family. The minority men find it more lucrative to be able to do drugs or other avenues rather than do education. It's easier."
Isn't that just a stinking pile of bullshit? I was going to write a response when Elon James of this week in Blackness not only beat me to it, but hit it out of the ball park.
Apparently there is a gentleman by the name of Al Reynolds out in Champagne Illinois, and he was explaining how to minority men, we find it way more lucrative to sell drugs than to get higher education. Oh my God, how did he find that out? That's been a minority male secret for years. Instead of getting all edjumicated and shit, that's how we do. We sell those drugs; we get that money – yes! I'm from Beside Brooklyn Center, you know like I sold drugs for like ten years, no what I'm saying? No, wait, no I didn't. I never sold drugs. Um, in all honesty, growing up I didn't even know were to go to get drugs, you know. Is there a Costco for crack? Can I just buy this it in bulk? Oh excuse me, can I get this big ass mayo, this fifty pack of toilet tissue and two kilos of coke? Can I get all that here? Wrap it up, I have my card. Here's the weird thing though, I'm not shocked by what Mr. Reynolds had to say. Oh, old White guy thinks that minority males would prefer to sell drugs than get an education – not shocking. But this what we're dealing with. Al Reynolds he is actually the Republican for state senate in Illinois. He used to be the head of one of the chapters of the Tea Party out there. So when you hear people spazzing out — please vote, for the love God vote, vote, vote, this is why they're spazzing out okay. There are a lot of assholes, who are running for office right now and you can stop them. You have the ability to say, nope dumb shittery stops right here. I'm not – this is not a game for me.

"Nothing shocks me any more," declares Emma Sayle, before listing some of the stranger parts of her work at Killing Kittens, the orgy organisers. Currently, she's searching for a Diana Vickers lookalike for a man who wants to be pretend-mugged while on a date, whereupon the Diana-double will morph into Supergirl and save him. Then there's the judge who likes to be called "general" as he spanks women. Sayle has already revealed that a Labour MP once turned up at one of her sex parties, and wore only pants and a dog's collar as a woman led him around the room.
Sayle founded Killing Kittens nine years ago. Its 40,000 members are mostly "AB demographic, high-fliers and hedonists". Celebrity Big Brother's Luisa Zissman is a fan, but Rhys Ifans was once turned away at the door "because he looked like a tramp". The USP for the parties is that women are in charge; men have to be invited to join in any intimate activities. Killing Kittens now also arranges "experiences" to turn members' sexual fantasies into reality — although Sayle recently refused a woman's request for a rape scenario: "There's a line we wouldn't cross."
I meet the 36-year-old in her office in Mortlake. She's wearing a a coral maxi-dress with statement silver earrings (think Sienna Miller — the boho years). She's giving this interview to plug her (co-written) memoirs, Behind the Mask. It's the kind of book where the champagne is always flowing, all the women have glossy hair and all the men are filthy rich. There are worse books out there — the reams of self-published poetry, say — but it does contain sentences such as "Desire is etched in his face as he presses the tip of his manhood into me". Still, the 50 Shades trilogy has sold 100 million copies and that had Christian Grey-flavoured popsicles.
Sayle is posh and personable, like a grown-up version of a character from Daisy Pulls It Off. In Behind the Mask, she describes her sex life in the kind of detail that would make a grandparent faint but the Killing Kittens parties are strictly professional for her: she's in a monogamous relationship with Olympic hockey player James Tindall and is five months pregnant. There's little about the office that betrays what the business does — just a few newspaper cuttings on the wall, most of which refer to Sayle as "Kate's mate". That's Kate Middleton, whom Sayle briefly went to school with and who joined the Sisterhood, a Sloaney sporting set that Sayle also founded, during Kate's brief split from Prince William. The Duchess signed up to race in a dragon boat with Sayle, prompting the inevitable headlines linking Kate with the Killing Kittens sex parties.
"It wasn't naive — she wasn't with William," says Sayle. "A lot of girls come into the Sisterhood when they've come out of relationships [because] when they're with someone, they lose a lot of their social life and their identity. It was the case of 'get involved with a big group of women and sod the men'." It stayed secret for a month, but the paparazzi eventually got their shots.
Before Killing Kittens Sayle was in PR, where she found herself increasingly working with brands in the adult industry. Thanks to Sex and the City, there was a desire for a more female-friendly approach. "It made me realise that women and men are different. Sex for girls is about the touch, the ambience, the setting. Whereas for guys, it's 'slap on a brightly-lit porn film' and they'll be in the mood."
Sayle saw both sex-party extremes. She worked with Fever Parties but fell out "monumentally" with its male founders. "When something in the sex sector is run by men, it's quite aggressive and run on testosterone." And then there was CAKE, which ran "feminist" parties in New York: "It was man-hating — the kind of feminist which I hate. Feminism is great but when you have to make a point about talking about being a feminist, it's a bit pushy. It should just be there under the surface."
Sayle thought there should be something in the middle. But her epiphany came in Ibiza, as she watched an orgy of beautiful people before a wedding: "The girls were doing what they wanted and I thought, 'there's nothing wrong with it'."
So is society still judgmental about sex? "It's very judgmental and old-fashioned. Our sex laws in this country are 200 years old." She says people are particularly critical of those in relationships who attend her parties — "it's just wrong" is the usual complaint: "People might chuck in the religious idea that couples should only be doing it together. But this is the sanctity of their relationship, no one else is getting hurt, and they're being honest with each other."
She adds that, contrary to stereotype, it's rare that guests are couples trying to save their relationships: "These couples are among the most secure I've ever met ... They are exploring together. The downfall of most relationships is boredom. Then people have affairs. Society says that is acceptable — but yet, a couple having sex with other people is not. It's a twisted view of what's right and what's wrong."
I'm not sure society does think affairs are OK — consider the outcry over celebrities who play away. But Sayle does make a convincing case about a sexual double-standard. "When it comes to sex, women are nowhere near equal to men: female sexuality is massively suppressed." She points to her brother's friends who "hook up nightly with random girls" they meet on Tinder, but won't date a woman who has "shagged around".
So do her parties empower women? "It's empowering because it's a woman going 'we can try it with two other girls', 'we can be promiscuous, because we are choosing to do it' — it's them exploring their sexuality."
Does she ever fear some women are just there to please a partner? "I can't guarantee that there isn't a couple where the guy has said 'unless we go to this party, our relationship is over' but it's very obvious if a girl doesn't want to be there — it's not that."
There's no guarantee, though, that the sex is safe. "We have bowls of condoms everywhere but it's a case of 'we're all adults'. I don't go around saying: 'put it on', 'put it on'."
Sayle says around half the guests at the parties just watch. Then there's couples who only have sex with each other. And then there's the other end of the spectrum: "The hardcore, swingy lot who do it every weekend with whoever, they're just at it."
There's a lot of "girl-on-girl" action but Sayle says the men never have sex with men: "The guys who come along aren't those kind of guys."
She quotes the Kinsey institute's sexuality scale, which runs from one to seven. "Men are very much one or seven — either straight or gay," she argues. "Whereas women are 3,4,5. That's why we check out other women faster than guys do. It's just how we're wired, everything's aesthetic. At the parties, there's a lot of lipstick lesbians but it's not a natural man thing: there's very few guys who sit in a grey area of being bisexual."
But won't some women be having sex with women to attract the male gaze, performing for their partners? "Yeah, there's a lot of male gaze that goes on with that. But I don't think there's any woman out there who doesn't want their other half to think they're sexy — it makes them feel good."
You have to submit a photo to get into Killing Kittens, and the bar is set high looks-wise. Isn't that aesthetically elitist? "It's not just supermodels," Sayle laughs. "Besides, it's difficult to judge people from photos. Every so often, I walk into a party and go 'whoa: this is a really hot crowd' but sometimes it's 'okay, let's turn down the lights a little bit — a few have slipped through'. But if I get a photo from someone in her fifties who is 20 stone and in bondage gear then the chances are she won't get in. It's like any membership club, you have criteria."
Killing Kittens is now going global. Despite the stereotype of British reserve, Sayle is finding other places trickier than London. Ireland, where it launches in July, has been particularly tough. "I did Belfast radio shows and got annihilated. [People] called in, saying the devil was with me."
Sayle remains undaunted. She thinks the strength of her empire lies in its being run by women: "We're a team of girls and we can plan an event unemotionally, whereas the guys just want to get their rocks off."

Thought Lindsay Lohan was a natural at rocking out in Freaky Friday?
You're not alone. The teen queen has scored a record deal with Mariah Carey's ex-husband Tommy Mottola's Casablanca Records label, reports IMDB.com.
The Mean Girls actress, 18, is set to follow in rival Hilary Duff's footsteps as she branches out into the music industry.
No further details have been released, but it is believed Lohan has signed a long-term, multi-album deal.
Lohan's singing talent was evident in last year's hit movie Freaky Friday when she sang Ultimate.
Mottola tells The New York Post: "I'm thrilled we have her. I think she's the next big star on the horizon."

This morning I got a seat on the subway. I submitted my taxes on time. Someone sent me a pack of gum in the mail.
I guess once I think about it, I have lots of things worthy of a high five.

NBN Co will for the first time directly subsidise training for skilled workers needed to build the national broadband network, as it struggles to ramp up work on the vast infrastructure project.
Documents obtained by The Australian Financial Review under Freedom of Information laws this week reveal the government monopoly is piloting a program under which it will contribute more than $4000 each for 60 people to learn how to splice fibre.
The specialised skill is required to join two separate fibre cables together, and has been pinpointed as one reason for delays to the network rollout.
The $250,000 grant program, which has been confirmed by several sources involved, is aimed at boosting training specifically in regional areas surrounding Ipswich, Newcastle, Darwin, Geelong and Mandurah. It comes in addition to a marketing program the company has undertaken to convince both skilled and unskilled workers to join the project.
Labor shortage and delays
NBN Co last month acknowledged a three-month delay in the rollout as major contractors struggled to ramp up to meet the politically crucial target of passing 286,000 homes with fibre-optic cabling by June 30. Confidential documents unearthed by the Financial Review revealed fibre splicers had botched work in up to 10 per cent of cases in the Canberra suburb of Crace.
Chief executive
But the shortage of labour has forced NBN Co to reconsider its workforce development strategy. The FoI documents reveal the government monopoly had underestimated the number of splicers and other skilled workers it would need over the life of the project . It now assumes internally that it will need at least 1000 fibre splicers alone across the life of the rollout.
An NBN Co spokeswoman said the grant program would "assist the development of the pool of fibre splicers in Australia".
Possibly too late
Paying directly for the training of key workers comes after more than three years of negotiations with government departments, training organisations and unions over who should pay for training, which generally costs between $4000 and $6000 a worker.
"It's unfortunate that this wasn't done two or three years ago . . ." said
"There would still be some of the problems but they wouldn't have been of the magnitude that they are now. It is possibly too late."
Energy Skills Queensland chief executive
Qualifications rethink
The skills shortage had led in some cases to NBN Co abandoning a mandate for even basic telecommunications qualifications on some areas of the project. In one presentation in the FoI documents, dated to February 2013, NBN Co said it "preferred" those undertaking splicing, hauling and other jobs to have a certificate II or certificate III in telecommunications, but did not specify the qualification as a requirement.
On its website, NBN Co says these specifications are "not mandatory, but provide guidance for job seekers or those seeking a qualification for the key occupations of" installer, linesworker and splicer.
One source close to construction said the lack of mandated qualifications had contributed to some of the low-quality work. "Now you sit in a classroom for a week, and you walk out the door on a Friday and you're NBN-qualified. That's the wrong way to go," the source said. "You need to have an understanding of how the network is built, how to haul cable, what infrastructure is out there," the source said.They say you can train a monkey to splice but you need a bit more than that."

"Great quality, but the card itself is a bit smaller than I anticipated it to be. Overall it does the job and looks great!"
"the card is pretty small, much smaller than I had imagined it would be. However, the design and overall look are exactly what I wanted and saw online when designing them. I also very much appreciated that there were multiple enclosure card options for this suite to choose from. I definitely wanted the more simple and modern enclosure card that did not include all the extra information about directions and whatnot since I worked hard to create a wedding website that contained all of this same information and more. I wanted the enclosure card to simply look great and direct people to the website which is exactly what this option does."
"Loved how these came out! Classy and elegant. The editor helped with the wording and spacing of the card when it went to preview. Would highly recommend!"
"Just what we expected. Using these "thank you" notes instead of table favors at vows renewal. Thanked guests for coming and in lieu of gifts we made donation to charity."

Essential Info > Tips for the Traveller
Chewing Gum
To chew or not to chew? Is bringing gum into Singapore for personal consumption really legal?
These are just some of the many questions still lingering in the grey for most visitors, and even some Singaporeans themselves.
In the 1980s, there was an increasing awareness of people disposing of gum incorrectly by sticking them under places such as chairs or tables, in mailboxes, inside keyholes and even on elevator buttons in high-rise public housing flats, causing serious maintenance problems. Chewing gum was also left on floors, stairways and pavements in public areas and on the seats of publics buses, which increased the cost of cleaning and damaged cleaning equipment.
It was then reported that vandals had begun sticking chewing gum on the door sensors of trains on the new MRT metro system, preventing the door from functioning properly and causing disruption of train services. The law banning the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore was then implemented in 1992.
While chewing gum for therapeutic or medicinal use is now legally acceptable, the reality is that importing and distributing gum in Singapore remains illegal. According to regulations 'importing' means to 'bring or cause to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore ...'. Hence, it is stated clearly in the law that bringing in chewing gum, even in small quantities, is prohibited.
However, this law has started to relax, when it was revised in 2004 due to the Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. (USS-FTA). Since then, only chewing gum of therapeutic value is allowed, under the Regulation of Imports and Exports (Chewing Gum) Regulations.

Syrian rebels inch closer to 2nd largest airport
Syrian rebels knocked down army defenses and moved in on the country's second-largest airport on Wednesday, reportedly killing more than 40 soldiers and bringing them closer to what could be their biggest conquest since the beginning of the civil war.
Control of Aleppo international airport and a military air base next to it would be a huge strategic shift for Syria's northeastern region, giving the opposition a potential air hub enabling aid and other flights.
Still, activists said it could be days before the rebels would be able to push their way into the airport, 4 miles from the contested city center, and even then, it was unclear whether they would be able to retain control of the sprawling facility for long.
The country's air space is firmly controlled by the government, which uses its warplanes indiscriminately to bomb rebel strongholds.
The advance on the airport, which stopped handling any flights weeks ago because of the fighting, comes on the heels of other strategic gains. Rebels this week captured the nation's largest dam and a military base near Aleppo. They have also brought the fight closer to Damascus, seat of President Bashar Assad's regime, moving to within a few miles from the heart of the city.
"There has been some extremely significant advances by the rebels in the past few days. There is real fear and flagging morale among regime forces in the region," said Muhieddine Lathkani, a London-based member of the Syrian National Council opposition group.
The government tried to reverse the gains with a series of airstrikes in several locations across the country Wednesday. In Jobar, a rebel stronghold in northeastern Damascus, 13 people were killed in government shelling, according to the Observatory. Fighter jets also carried out airstrikes on rebel positions in the central province of Homs, it said.
The rebels have been pushing their way into the capital since last week. The foray marks the opposition's second significant attempt to storm Damascus since July, when the rebels captured several neighborhoods before being swept out by a swift government counteroffensive.
Since then, the regime has buckled down in Damascus, setting up checkpoints and controlling movement in and out of the city. The heavily defended city so far has been spared the kind of violence that has devastated whole neighborhoods in other major cities such as Aleppo and the central city of Homs.

Lomographer for a Day: Andrea S2013-05-04 7 Share Tweet
I know Andrea from work! She studies architecture and she is very curious about everything. So one day, she asked me about that plastic camera, and I decided she could be a nice lomographer. I lent her my LC-A+ loaded with a Fuji Provia 400X so she could easily handle any light situation.
1. How long has it been since you had shot a film roll?
This is my very first time, I've never used a film camera before!
2. How would you describe the experience in five words?
Intriguing, exciting! In every single moment, because you have no idea how the pictures are going to turn out.
3. Which picture, out of all you took, you like the best, and why?
The picture of the "bugambilias" with the sky as the background. I like how you can't see where they start, it's almost like they came out from the shadows, and the colors of the flowers and the sky…I just love it!
4. If you could teleport to any part of the world with this camera and lots of film, which would it be and why
I would go to Greece, definitely. The picturesque streets, the intense colors of the landscape, it's just fascinating.
To see the other photos, check out the entire album!

Support Women Artists Sunday: Sick Of Sarah
Sick Of Sarah began in Minneapolis, MN in April 2005 as an all-female band with catchy hooks, unique lyrics and thoughtful, well-crafted music. The band displays talent, passion, and an ever-present sense of humor that shapes many of their songs. They combine sympathetic acoustic moments with driving electric rock, often in the same song. With influences ranging from John Fogerty to Joan Jett, Sleater-Kinney to Vanessa Carlton, Sick Of Sarah brings an energy and blended alternative pop-rock style that has listeners singing along after the first chorus.
Guitar player, lead singer, and songwriter, Abisha Uhl has an ear for pop, a mouth for rock, and an attitude for punk. She first picked up a guitar at age 13 in Okinawa, Japan where she lived until she was 18 and moved to the US. She began listening to Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, which led to her becoming a solo artist in the Minneapolis area and eventually becoming a founding member of Sick Of Sarah. Her lyrics speak maturely and sometimes humorously of love, loss, and often nothing at all, but regardless of the topic, Abisha will sing every song like it's the greatest thing anyone's ever heard.
Lead guitarist and back-up vocalist, Katie Murphy was always involved in some type of musical endeavor growing up in south St. Paul, MN. She began teaching herself piano at 15 years of age and acoustic guitar when she was 16. Always looking to advance her skills, she picked up the electric guitar early on during the course of Sick Of Sarah's construction, per the band's request, and has since found that flexibility and creativity are the keys to her performance. Katie lists Jewel and John Fogerty as her biggest musical influences.
Jessie Farmer originally from Peoria, IL, decided on music as her passion at the tender age of 7 when a piano was introduced into her home. She learned both the guitar and drums after that. She found success as the touring bass player for prominent Minneapolis punk rock band, Babes in Toyland in 2000. Jessie had sworn off the bass just before she was approached by lead singer Abisha to play in her new band. Jessie cowrites many of SOS's songs. Influenced by Joan Jett and the Mamas and the Papas, Jessie brings a natural, seasoned rock tone as the bass player and back-up vocalist.
Drummer Brooke Svanes began playing drums when she was 11 years old and since then has become a meticulously skillful drummer. She has been in bands all through her teen years in Bismarck, ND and now calls Minneapolis her home. She may look at ease behind a set, but do not be fooled by her calmness; you are guaranteed to feel her Sleater-Kinney influence as well as a decade of practice in every beat she makes.
You may have noticed there is no one named Sarah in the band. The namesake for the band is in fact a Sarah—the lead singer's former roommate who stated one day she was just plain sick of her own name. It caught the girls' ears and then caught on.

Research Matters: Martha Nussbaum on "Political Emotions: Why Love Matters for Justice"
Research Matters is a biweekly feature in which a member of the faculty talks about some of his or her latest work and its impact and relevance to law and society.
Martha Nussbaum, Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics, in the Law School and the Department of Philosophy, wrote Political Emotions: Why Love Matters for Justice, published in the fall by Harvard University Press. Nussbaum, a philosopher, explores the value of love and other emotions in achieving a just and liberal society.
Q. Why did you write this book?
A. Over my career, I've worked in both normative political philosophy and the emotions. I've written numerous books on the role of emotions in reasoning, usually personal, moral reasoning. Not always, though; my book Hiding from Humanity does talk about law and the role of disgust in the law as then does my later book, From Disgust to Humanity. So I have long looked at the emotions not just for their role in personal choice, but as having an influence in the public realm. But I faced a particular problem at the end of my book Frontiers of Justice, where I lay out a very ambitious proposal for a just society. The problem is, how would it ever come in to being, and how would it ever remain stable? And it turns out that this is a problem with a long history in political philosophy that goes back to the French Revolution. Because the minute the king wasn't there to just insist that you did whatever he wanted you to do, then people had to think, what is the motivation? How will people come to care about it? If the conception of society's goals has the idea of a common good that asks people to go beyond their narrow self-interests, then how are we going to do that?
It's been agreed for several centuries in this debate that a public culture has to be able, somehow, to cultivate emotions that would ensure its own stability. Some of the proposals that were made seem unacceptable because they're too dictatorial. So (Jean-Jacques) Rousseau for example thinks it's just fine to exile people if they won't take part in the ceremonies and rituals that whip up the emotions that he wants. Auguste Comte, a very neglected thinker these days, thought that you didn't punish people, actually, but you did insist on a lot of homogeneity. You wouldn't permit artists even to diverge from the course that's prescribed by the philosophers. Some liberals thought the whole project of engineering public emotion was just hopeless, because it's bound to be dictatorial. And I think this is what a lot of people think. But on the other hand, there were others, such as John Stuart Mill, who thought that the project was both necessary and doable compatibly with liberalism. And it's that lead that I try to follow.
Q. How does your work fit in to this ongoing debate?
A. I'm continuing to ask the question: how can we have a culture of public emotion that's not illiberal? One that still allows us a rich debate, dissent, and indeed, might even attach emotional weight to those activities, teaching people to love the activity of critical reasoning? I'm trying to solve that problem, so what I do is stipulate that we have a society that engages in substantial redistribution of wealth and income and that also wants to include, on a basis of equal respect, each ethnic, religious, and racial group. And then I ask, what are the resources in human psychology that we have to achieve that, and what are the obstacles that our human nature gives us? So the second section of the book is all about psychological research and so on. And then I come to the third section that says, all right, how does this really take place? And then I have to turn to history and concrete examples because there's no universally, timelessly right way of doing this, but it has to take account of the particular nation's history and situation. So I give many, many examples connected by a kind of theory of how we build compassion out from its narrow roots to a much broader embrace.
Q. Are there particular emotions that are political emotions?
A. I would say any emotion can be a political emotion. All the major types could figure in the political realm. Now, there might be some that always do harm. I actually think disgust is one in the political realm that always does harm. Envy is another complicated one. Up to a point, like disgust, it's always bad and disruptive. But I do think that within very narrow limits – you can call it emulation, you can call it envy, the words slip around – but it propels us on to compete in ways that can be socially productive. So I take each emotion and look at its productive and less productive uses in society. I don't look at every single one. In fact, I'm writing a book now on anger because I didn't talk about that in this book. But I talk about most of the major emotions, and look at their good and bad aspects. Even compassion, which we think of as so good, can actually be bad if it is of the narrow sort. Intense compassion for your family can often block people from thinking of the common good. So there's good and bad in all of them.
Q. Do leaders try to separate themselves form emotions?
A. Good leaders are usually not afraid of the emotions. In recent years, we haven't had the kind of canny emotional leadership that Lincoln exercised, and that FDR exercised through his very clever use of the arts during the New Deal. We haven't done that for a while, and it's a pity. I think Lyndon Johnson had some tendencies to do that, but then he got sandbagged by the Vietnam War and lost his power to connect with people emotionally. Leaders often try to use emotion, and it doesn't just have to be in one way. Jawaharlal Nehru in India was not a guy who wore his heart on his sleeve. Not in the least. But there was a resonance, and a dignity, and a real power to his speeches that connected to people. In the book, I talk a lot about his speech on the eve of India's independence, but we could also talk about his speech on the death of Gandhi, which was a very, very emotional speech. He knew when to be emotional, when it really mattered. Whereas Gandhi, a much less reticent person, a person who loved to connect with other people with humor and with compassion and so on, used emotion perhaps more often. He encouraged people to sing certain songs as they marched in protests and so on, very much a model for Martin Luther King Jr. But it's complementary to what Nehru did. You need different styles of emotional leadership.
Q. What are you hoping the outcome of this book is?
A. Well, I hope that it will reopen this big topic in philosophy. (John) Rawls did work on this topic in A Theory of Justice, published in 1971, but that part of the book is usually neglected. I want to put it back on the table and get a lot more people talking about it. Of course I'd like to have political leaders care about it and talk about it, but I find that, in this country, the likelihood that any politician would actually read this book is close to nil. The book got a lot of attention in Europe and in India, but hasn't even been reviewed in any major newspapers here, apart from a very interesting blog discussion by Stanley Fish in the New York Times. Our country has always been very skeptical of philosophy.

About MeI have worked as an art model for over 6 years, posing for figurative / portrait works in painting, drawing, animation, sculpture and photography. Now, I am seeking to expand upon my portfolio with different photographers and new looks. My assets are a pretty face, a petite figure and distinguishing grace. I am trained as a dancer, work as an actor, and practise yoga -- so I am quite versatile in terms of expression and image. That, and I have an engaging personality that communicates in a variety of media.
Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating on a photo shoot!
