For example, while one might not think twice about Chet Baker trying his hand at the horn-heavy Ides of March tune "Vehicle," it might be a bit more over the edge to hear Baker's rendition of the Willie Bobo/Carlos Santana hit "Evil Ways." As well it should be! Though Baker made magic with American Songbook standards such as "My Funny Valentine" and "Imagination," it takes some imagination to separate his take on the Woodstock classic from Muzak.
On the other hand, the album also demonstrates the well-picked pairing of James Brown and Quincy Jones, whose easy organ run through "I Got You (I Feel Good)" lacks the fire of the Godfather's original, but still keeps it's soul and even includes an appropriate gospel revival break. That Jones recorded an entire album of Brown's hits (1965's Quincy's Got a Brand New Bag ) demonstrates the respect and love Jones had for his Soul Brother #1, and these two tracks, though heavier on the blues than the rhythm, are fitting tributes.
Also prominent on the album are Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith and Willie Bobo himself. Kenny Burrell even takes a shot at Buffalo Springfield's gentle "Everydays." Though other-minded and at times over-touted by the liner notes, the tracks most often work and offer new and different perspectives on pop classics from some of jazz's most prescient and profound seers.

As some states flout federal drug law, Justice wavers on enforcement
Sierra.R.A Kearns, UTApril 14, 2014 9:34 a.m.
Can you give actual reasons, as in FACT behind why Marijuana is a harmful drug?
How is it bad for the welfare of the people?
It is hard to listen to someone who can't even give facts about why the subject of their little rant is in fact bad.
How can someone be so against marijuana and want it to be illegal, when it has been proven that it can benefit the public if used correctly and yet cigarettes which KILL PEOPLE are completely legal and there has been absolutely no political try to stop the production and selling of them.
It's the single minded way of most people that just gets me, every time. I guess when people are told something for a long period of time it becomes real to the weak people in the world that can't form their own opinion and be an individual, but instead have to succumb to what they're told because since they're being told something it must be right.
HA! I do NOT agree.
Open Minded Mormon Everett, 00April 1, 2014 6:18 a.m.
Isn't this the same as the Utah State Highway Patrol ignoring and not enforcing the Federal Speed limits on the Federal Insterstates?
At least show integrity.
At least be consistant.

What good is a Federal Government and a Federal Justice Department... if they won't ENFORCE the laws that are passed by Congress??
I'm talking about Federal Drug Laws, Federal Immigration Laws, etc...
Now I'm not a big Federal Government needs to do everything kinda guy. But if you are going to give them jurisdiction over this stuff (DEA, Immigration, etc).. I expect them to ENFORCE the laws our representatives in Congress pass regarding these areas. Not pick and choose what they will defend and what they will/won't enforce... based on what the current President likes or dislikes in our current laws.
That's why we have that whole oath when a new guy takes office... to insure that the guy taking over from the old guy will defend ALL the laws (not just the ones he likes).
If you don't like the laws... CHANGE THEM... don't just instruct your Justice Department to not ENFORCE them!

Everett, 00
RE: "Enough of the hypocasy"...
The irony is you complaining about hypocrisy (or hypocasy)
You are FOR banning sodas, trans-fats, etc (which are totally legal)... but flip if marijuana (which is ILLEGAL by Federal law) is not made legal...
Now that's hypocrisy!
Show some integrity,
be consistent, please.

So if Colorado can do things that are against Federal Law and nothing happens... can other states just pick and choose what Federal Laws they will enforce and which they won't? And expect nothing to happen?
Federal gun laws? Immigration laws? Federal income tax laws??
Arizona tried to HELP the Federal Government enforce Federal Immigration Law... and the Feds came down on them like a ton of bricks. Why the contradiction?
Feds sue Arizona for enforcing federal immigration laws... but Colorado admits VIOLATING Federal drug laws.. and the Justice Dept just winks?
If you legalize marijuana.. nothing happens.
Why does nothing happen?
The current administration seems to be marijuana friendly (why not... the President admits using it AND cocaine in High School and College). He also admits abusing alcohol. So why would he NOT be marijuana friendly??
But the next President may not be as marijuana friendly.... I wonder if that's why banks hesitate to loan money to these new budding businesses in Colorado. They may get shutdown as soon as a less marijuana friendly administration is in the White House (loosing their investment).
Not worth the financial risk IMO.

GaryO Virginia Beach, VAMarch 31, 2014 8:00 a.m.
The US Justice Department really has better things to do than enforce ridiculous marijuana laws.
Public perceptions about Marijuana are quickly changing, and it would be senseless for the US Justice Department to fight the will of the people to the bitter end.
The US Government has better things to do.
In the not-so-far future, more and more states will be legalizing the sale and possession of marijuana, an it's about time.
The Federal Government should legalize it, regulate it, and tax it much like the alcoholic beverage industry. Doing so would save money in enforcement, and it would create revenue through taxation.
The only losers would be illegal drug cartels and associates of the judicial-penal-industrial complex.
Darmando Parker, COMarch 30, 2014 10:01 p.m.
Truth was the first casualty in the ill conceived "War on Drugs." Many drugs are dangerous, especially when they are abused, but the failure to tell the truth, to exaggerate, and outright lie by those trusted to educate has created the second casualty of the war, trust. An inspired man once said "I teach people correct principles and let them govern themselves."
alanmonrovia Monrovia, CAMarch 30, 2014 12:16 p.m.
It's rather easy to be for "freedom" and 'liberty" in the abstract. But this war on a beneficial plant touches each and every one of us, our families, our neighbors, our wallets. It has allowed the outrageous trampling of our rights by prohibitionists in an on-going crime against American citizens. Now,their war on the people is thankfully in its dying throes. Let's put it out of its misery once and for all.
"The makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness. They recognized the significance of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and his intellect. They knew that only a part of the pain, pleasure and satisfaction of life are to be found in material things. They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men."( US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, 1928)
malcolmkyle NEW YORK, NYMarch 30, 2014 3:32 a.m.
Trying to control each and every thing that 350 million people do with their own bodies is not small government!
If you support prohibition then you are NOT a conservative.
Conservative principles quite clearly are:
1) Limited, locally controlled government.
2) Individual liberty coupled with personal responsibility.
3) Free enterprise.
4) A strong national defense.
5) Fiscal responsibility.
Prohibition is an authoritarian war on our economy and Constitution.
"We are speaking of a plague that consumes an estimated $75 billion per year of public money, exacts an estimated $70 billion a year from consumers, is responsible for nearly 50 per cent of the million Americans who are today in jail, occupies an estimated 50 per cent of the trial time of our judiciary, and takes the time of 400,000 policemen—yet a plague for which no cure is at hand, nor in prospect."
William. F. Buckley Jr. National Review, July 1st, 1996
Only pretend-conservatives get scammed into believing that big government micromanaging people's lives is a conservative concept.
cep427 san antonio, TXMarch 29, 2014 11:35 p.m.
Yes, marijuana can be harmful but in some medical cases it has been beneficial. It's still in the research process but laboratories are testing hemp oil for heart conditions, skin disease and seizure's. Their findings have been surprisingly positive and have found more medical conditions that could also benefit from hemp oil. Now... To the author of this article... let's talk about tobacco, alcohol and prescription drugs that have been killing the public for decades. Oh yeah, those are legalized drug's so it's okay to be addicted or to consume them. It's up to the individual to have good judgement and moderate themselves. The real problem in this country is too much government and the unrelenting greed of big corporation's. So with all due respect... Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Midvaliean MIDVALE, UTMarch 29, 2014 10:11 p.m.
Justice is wavering because the law was never just. An unjust law is immoral to enforce, and we see our society moving in the right direction.
Stormwalker Cleveland , OHMarch 29, 2014 9:10 p.m.
My neck hurts. I was riding down the editorial road, expecting to read a piece decrying the Feds stomping on State's Rights when a huge load of double-standard slammed into me.
I think I may have whiplash from the sudden change in direction.
AT Elk River, MNMarch 29, 2014 5:16 p.m.
The Constitution does not grant to the federal government the right to regulate marijuana. Remember prohibition against alcohol? They amended the Constitution for that whole fiasco - because back then they had a greater respect for the Constitution. Remember the 10th amendment to the Constitution? The determination whether I want to ingest marijuana is left up to me (I choose not to). Maybe the state (Utah) could be involved - but it's not Utah's business either.
And you claim marijuana is dangerous. Really? Look at the history of why it was banned and why it continues to be banned. The police agencies make a killing (pun not intended, but appropriate) with asset forfeiture. The pharmaceutical industry doesn't want people to discover the properties of this plant - yes, it helps some people suffering from medical conditions.
I'm surprised at how misleading and out-of-touch with reality this opinion piece is.
cjb Bountiful, UTMarch 29, 2014 4:55 p.m.
The war on drugs is an instance where the 'cure' is worse than the disease. The only real fix is education. Teach children that taking these drugs degrades quality of life. This won't work for everyone but this course of action is still better than the one we are on.
We keep people in prison for decades often on trumped up drug charges. The United States keeps more people in prison than any other country. This wastes billions of dollars every year not to mention all the destroyed lives.

Gay marriage and marijuana being legalized on the same day in Washington State.
Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lays with another man he should be stoned."
We've just been interpreting it incorrectly for all these years.
Duncan20903 Silver Spring, MDMarch 29, 2014 12:14 p.m.
It's genuinely astounding that there are people gazing at the horizon expecting the imminent arrival of the Federal cavalry riding in to strike down State laws that re-legalize cannabis. It's even more astonishing when Californians do so after 17 years and 4 trips to the SCOTUS for the Compassionate Use Act (CUA) with that law still in force.
The Feds have given their answer to I-502 and A-64...there's nothing that they can do about those laws. Yes, the Feds can enforce their laws using their resources. But Californians have seen that first hand. The Feds haven't been able to shut down the CUA and it's pushing two decades now.
Federal preemption? Doesn't anyone ever wonder why the only cases using that lame argument have been filed by State and Local authorities?
liberal larry salt lake City, utahMarch 29, 2014 11:15 a.m.
According to the ACLU, minor pot convictions were down over 90% from 2012 to 2013 in Washington State. Thus freeing up law enforcement to go after real criminals, and reducing the horrendous costs of locking up these minor offenders.
Ron Paul has come out in favor of legalization of marijuana, it will be interesting to hear what Rand Paul will say about the wacky weed in his almost certain presidential bid.
bullet56 Olympia, WAMarch 29, 2014 10:51 a.m.
I live in Washington State and grow marijuana for my personal use. I have stage 4 liver disease. I have mixed emotions to those who claim they want to protect "us" from Marijuana. In Washington State, our new law protect my right to grow, enjoy, and produce it. If this is not personal Liberty, then I must not be in the good old USA, Washington in particular. After all, it is just a plant, given by our creator, just as he gave us other potentially harmful substances like opium poppies. Look around your neighborhood this summer for those.
Our local and state courts no longer waste time and taxes prosecuting, jailing, and monitoring, citizens who enjoy marijuana. Accidents per mile driven data shows no increase in car wrecks from Marijuana. Our taxes may not increase or even drop, as the state reaps billions from this new Liberty driven industry. Come for a visit soon. Your Liberty needs a vacation!
ShaunMcC La Verkin, UTMarch 29, 2014 10:10 a.m.
If you understand principles of truth, the answers are much easier to identify. First, does the Federal Government have a legitimate role in controlling Cannabis? Perhaps, but only as it relates to interstate commerce (the transporting of items between states), not as to legality to possess. Second, does Cannabis have legitimate value in the treatment of medical or emotional issues? More and more research indicates that it does. Can it be misused? Yes, but so can prescription drugs, glue, cold remedies and even other plants such as oleander and potato sprouts (which are both deadly if consumed). Do we outlaw these other items, or do we punish people if they misuse them and harm others in the process? The answer becomes pretty clear when you consider principles of truth. Every plant that grows on God's earth has a purpose and we should honor that purpose. We should not destroy lives and sustain the cost of incarcerating people for years and in some cases for life for simply possessing plants that grow here naturally - especially if that use is to help them and others treat physical and emotional issues.
nonceleb Salt Lake City, UTMarch 29, 2014 8:54 a.m.
Interesting. The DN supports Bishop in changing a federal law which affect federal lands in Utah and the state's move to have control over those lands, supports state initiatives such as Amendment 3, and are avid state's rights advocates on several other issues, but when it comes to states which pass laws legalizing marijuana, they say states are flaunting federal laws. I guess it all depends on what you personally approve or disapprove of when it comes to federal vs. state.
Hutterite American Fork, UTMarch 29, 2014 8:40 a.m.
It takes some audacity to print an editorial against pot because it's a 'harmful substance' a few days after one which decried taxes on cigarettes. Talk about your harmful substance.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCMarch 29, 2014 8:33 a.m.
What - this from the same editorial staff the rants about states rights, the over stepping of the federal government? States should retain and have sole discretion on who marries who.. but should not have that power because of the harmful effects of pot? Should the states therefor also loose the right to regulate alcohol, based on the given rationalization?
I don't want to be misunderstood here. I am not claiming that states should allow gay marriage, nor am I acting as a proponent for the legalization of pot. What I am for is consistency of message. The DN staff seems to find no need to maintain a consistent message.
Or is this yet another example of how people are multifaceted, that they are conservative in some instances, and more progressive in others. Is it therefor possible states rights is not an all or nothing proposition - neither is it a progressive or conservative issue.

Kalindra Salt Lake City, UtahMarch 29, 2014 5:57 a.m.
So, Utah should be able to make their own regulations about guns (and a bunch of other stuff) and it is federal overreach if the federal government gets involved - but not only it is not federal overreach for the government to be involved in Colorado's regulation of marijuana, it is dereliction of duty if they don't get involved - and, of course, Utah's medical use of hemp (which will be interstate commerce) is a completely different thing altogether.
Utah good - others bad. Got it.
mauister Wailuku, HIMarch 29, 2014 4:22 a.m.
If the marijuana is cultivated inside the same state where it is sold by a citizen of that state, and consumed by said citizen without crossing state lines, how does the federal government under the US Constitution have any jurisdiction?
BYU Joe MISSION VIEJO, CAMarch 29, 2014 1:40 a.m.
Let me guess - You want States Rights when you don't like the policy but want the Federal Government to be in charge when you do like the law.
Palintram Holladay, UTMarch 29, 2014 1:37 a.m.
Yes, we should definitely follow their lead.

I have always imagined being a mum.
An older sister from the age of 15 months, I played mum to my two younger brothers and have often assumed a caring role for friends and in jobs over the years since. If you asked me what I thought my life would look like by my current age, it would certainly have included children, and whilst I love working, I've never been motivated solely by a career path.
On reflection, I think it is a good thing that there aren't yet children filling my home – my understanding of what family is and all it could be has changed significantly from the nuclear version I once would have assumed.
Because I believe being a mum is part of my future and still, I am not yet a mother.
Waiting is something that is all too familiar to most of us, but that is often uncomfortable in a society that values everything instant and immediate. Whether it's waiting for a job, a new place to call home, a holiday, or waiting for a family through the trials of singleness, fertility treatment, adoption or fostering assessment, panel and then matching, many of us know what it is to wait for the things on our hearts.
As Christians, we believe and trust in a God that promises good things and longs to fulfil the desires of our hearts. One verse that I have held onto over the years as I have waited for different things or for things to pass is Habakkuk 2.3: 'Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay'. The Hope of God's revelation at 'an appointed time' is a comfort and a reassurance.
But in an imperfect world, with my frequently far from perfect longings, I know the reality that not everything is completed in this life.
However, as I sit in the waiting room to becoming a mum, for an indefinite period of time, I can use the time to pursue and to explore. I have friends who are enduring fertility treatment and I have friends who are enduring pregnancies. Much like being in the waiting rooms of the many appointments they each have, I can choose to use my waiting. Instead of reading the outdated magazines scattered in a GP's surgery, I want to read stories that broaden my expectations of family and that teach me more about mothering than any practical how-to manual.
I want to have conversations with those around me who are waiting, and those who have waited, to find out what they have learnt about God, themselves, their families. I want to be preparing my home, my head and my heart by finding out more about the needs of children in the care of my local authority, about the process of looking after them, about who I could be for one of them if I were to foster or adopt one day.
I want to be delighting in the children and young people around me; my nephew, my goddaughter, my church family.
The pain, the frustration, the boredom, the nervousness, the anticipation, the hope, the dreams, all still exist. I want to acknowledge these feelings – when I am the only uncoupled person at yet another party with peers, when I am the only one without a child at yet another baby shower, when I am the one without 'a family of my own' at extended family gatherings – but I don't want them to hold me back from living and enjoying in the waiting.
I want the 'not yet' to shape my 'now' as I pursue something I believe is part of my future, but I don't want the 'not yet' to dictate all I am. Whilst I hold on to the idea of being a mum one day, I don't know what form that will take for me. I don't know how children will come into my life, just as I don't know what the timescale for that will be.
So I will continue in my waiting with a heart to love and to hope and to explore, wanting to be open to the many different possibilities as to how, at some point in the future, I will be a mum – however and whenever that will be.

We are very excited to welcome you here in September 2017. Here you will find all the information you need about joining QE next year. As well as this I hope the combination of transition events and your QE ambassador guides will make it a smooth transition.
This webpage for transition has been written with our Year 8 Ambassadors, based on their experiences of what they needed to know when they made the transition to Queen Elizabeth's. Although it is a guide for students it would also be useful for parents and carers to read this information too so you both know what to expect from the transition process.
Below is a timeline of transition, so you can see what is coming next. You will also find some useful documents telling you more about different aspects of QE. Over the course of the next few months we will be adding further documents so do keep checking back.
The Western Road Campus welcomes visitors at 6.30-7.30pm to meet our teaching staff in the Western Road Drama Hall.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our events very soon,

November 10th, 2009, I was invited to shoot a book signing party for one of my childhood hero, KRS-One of B.D.P. KRS-One released a book titled, The Gospel of Hip Hop. I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the Legend. Amongst these legends, there were Hip Pioneers who came out to represent and show support, The Father of Hip Hop DJ Kool Herc, DJ Cool V, Freddie Fox, Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Hakim of Channel Live and many other. They took us back with classic portable music devices like cassette players to the begin evolution of the "Turntables aka The 1s & 2s. The teacher it a moment and spoke to the crowd about what Hip-Hop really is to the founding generations, today's generation and the generations to come.

SALT LAKE CITY — With former Jazzman Deron Williams in the house and playoffs on the line, the Jazz went into assassin mode to push their win streak to three. Randy Foye led the way with 26 points, shooting an unconscious 8-of-9 from 3-point range and 9-of-11 overall to lead the Jazz over the Nets 116-107. Deron Williams finished with 21 points and 11 dimes in his return to EnergySolutions Arena while Brooke Lopez led the Nets with 27 points and seven boards.
Guards: Mo Williams had a great night Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers, and that solid play carried over against Brooklyn. He finished with 20 points and four assists while pulling down three rebounds. Considering the slump that ailed Foye after the All-Star break, his 26-point performance was an emphatic return to success for the sharp shooter. GRADE: A+
Forwards: When Gordon Hayward isn't particularly needed on offense, he fills up the stat sheet other ways and makes his presence felt. Hayward finished with eight points, six assists, three steals, three blocks and two rebounds. Hayward's ability to block one-on-one transition buckets is always a difference maker, and he did it against the Nets. Paul Millsap nearly finished with a triple-double on the night. The small forward put up nine points to go with nine assists and six rebounds. GRADE: A
Centers: Brooke Lopez is a solid player and very difficult to handle. Despite Al Jefferson's documented deficiencies, he did a decent job defensively on Lopez. Lopez scored a game-high 27, but most of those points came late in the game when the Jazz had the victory in hand. Jefferson finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks. GRADE: AComment on this story
Bench: Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors led the bench in scoring with 14 and 13 points respectively. Favors flirted with a double-double as he pulled down nine boards. Marvin Williams finished with six rebounds and a steal on the night. Alec Burks received little playing time due to the hot hand of Foye as he finished with two points in six minutes. Jamaal Tinsley finished with four points, two steals and two assists in 18 minutes and showed some defensive toughness that has been lacking as of late. GRADE: B
Overall: The Jazz played an even first 24 minutes with the Nets before putting on the defensive clamps in the third quarter. The Jazz outscored the Nets 31-20, led by Foye's 3-point shooting, in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. The Jazz showed energy and toughness against one of the better teams in the East, and they did it on the back end of a home-and-away back-to-back. GRADE: A

Trade tokens tend to be simple affairs that make do for money in times of economic stress. During the French Revolution, though, nothing less than fine engraving, exactingly struck on large planchets would do.
When Monneron Brothers' Paris banking house created its own bronze tokens in 1791 and 1792, it turned to two sterling names in numismatics: engraver Augustin Dupre and private mint master Matthew Boulton.
A decade earlier, Benjamin Franklin had commissioned Dupre, his neighbor in Paris, to create one of the best-known medals of the American Revolution, the Libertas Americana medal.
Dupre pulled out all stops for the larger Monneron pieces—silver-dollar-size 5-sol tokens. They bear a detailed engraving of the Festival of the Federation on the obverse and a statement of value on the reverse.
Capping a period of stormy relations between the crown and the populace, the people stormed the Bastille on July 14, 1789. Revolutionaries and royalists forged a short-lived constitutional monarchy in the months that followed. They celebrated the establishment of this new government on the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille with a massive festival. Participants swore allegiance to the nation, the law and the king.
Dupre's design captures that moment with soldiers saluting the country's new constitution above an altar adorned with a portrait of King Louis XVI. In 1791 the four Monneron brothers contracted with Boulton to strike "medals of confidence" on steam presses.
The pieces proved wildly popular, but on Sept. 3, 1792, France's National Assembly outlawed their issuance. Violators were "subject to the penalty of being punished with 15 years in irons and confiscation of the money."
None of the Monneron brothers were jailed over the tokens, but two were imprisoned on various charges during the 1790s.
After one of the brothers was imprisoned in 1792, Samuel Garbett, chairman of the Birmingham Commercial Committee in England, wrote to Boulton, "I was glad to see that Mr. Monneron was honorably liberated, but the French are so frantic that life is very precarious in the country."
Life was so precarious that the king and thousands of his subjects were beheaded in the 1790s as the nation descended into a reign of terror.
Monneron tokens ceased circulating in 1793.
Today the pieces, which run only a few dollars in circulated condition, are a powerful link to a time when a great nation teetered on the edge of the abyss.

SoCal born and raised, Phoenix Marie was destined to become the adult industry icon is she today. Far from an empty-headed smutbucket, the leggy blonde bombshell is a closet grease monkey, with an interest in muscle cars and Harleys who is also super into extreme sports and the great outdoors. In a candid interview, Phoenix revealed that growing up a socially awkward teenager stunted her personal growth, which she would wind up developing by way of her involvement in skin flicks. Go figure. In truth, it makes sense, as she herself details her curiosity in matters of the opposite sex. In serendipitous fashion, she recalls a club bouncer being the one who would become the catalyst towards her entering the business, by introducing her to the talent agent that would usher in a new day for Miss Marie. Shedding her old insecurities, the 2015 AVN Award winner for Best POV Scene blossomed into a beautifully perverted cougar right before our very eyes. The reigning anal champ devours everything in sight with her unchained performances and provides a glimmer of hope to those wallflowers whose sexual fantasies remain unfulfilled.

The Vampire, His Kith and Kin: A Critical Edition
Apocryphile Press, 2011 - 540 sider
In all the dark pages of the supernatural there is no more terrible tradition than that of the Vampire, a pariah even among demons. Foul are his ravages; gruesome and seemingly barbaric are the ancient and approved methods by which folk rid themselves of this hideous pest. The tradition is world-wide and of the greatest antiquity. How did it arise? How did it spread? Does it indeed contain some vestige of truth, some memory of savage practice, some trace of cannibalism or worse? These and similar problems inevitably suggested by a consideration of Vampirism in its various aspects are fully discussed in this work which may not unfairly claim to be the first serious and fully documented study of a subject that in its details is of absorbing interest, although the circumstances are of necessity macabre and ghastly in the highest degree. Included in this critical edition are the authoritative text, rare contextual and source materials, correspondence, illustrations, as well as Greek and Latin translations. A biographical note and chronology are also included.

Experience Colonial History Locally with Field Trips to the Smith-Appleby House Museum!

"Hospital feedback"
About: Wythenshawe Hospital Wythenshawe Hospital Manchester M23 9LT
Posted via NHS Choices
Today I attended ENT at Wythenshawe Hospital. After hanging around for 2.5hrs, after having to go back to the initial ENT waiting room for a second time to discuss the results of my neck scan. I was late for work and getting stressed out. When I asked one nurse how long I would have to wait this second time round. They responded that they could not give me a time and that I would have to wait. Following this, after 20 more mins of waiting I walked over to where the files were piled up to see if my name was at the top of the files. Two nurses marched over shouted at me that I could not read notes, of which I was not doing I was just seeing if my name was near the top of this file. I never once did touch the files, nor move them nor open them, They told me 4 times when I had already sat down that I could not look at the files. When I at last responded to their rudeness which "ok you have already told me 4 times". One responed "I am not having that I am calling security", followed by "I am not going in with her". So no, my visit to ENT was not nice nor welcoming. Instead it was an example of receptionists/staff throwing their weight about. I never swore at them, nor pushed them, nor insulted them so why would they need to threaten with calling secuirty?
I shall be raising a formal complaint and if I spoke to somebody like that in work I would be sacked as bullying is not allowed in the workplace!
Response from Wythenshawe Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on the NHS choices website.
Please accept our apologies both for the delay which has occurred in responding to you and also for the fact that you found your experience in the ENT department less than satisfactory.

In a ruling posted on a panel of judges' Web site, lawsuits against Toyota Motor Corp. related to unintended acceleration will be consolidated in a federal court in Santa Ana, Calif. US District Judge James V. Selna will oversee the class actions and personal injury cases. September is the month that Toyota first announced the recall due to unintended acceleration.
To date, the carmaker had received at least 177 consumer and shareholder lawsuits seeking class action status and at least 57 individual suits claiming personal injuries or deaths.
Toyota and the lawyers for the complainants have submitted court filings and have stated during a March 25 hearing their request to combine the federal suits in a multidistrict litigation, where one judge overseeing the litigation would decide issues such as evidence-gathering and allowable legal arguments.
The lawsuits will be combined in federal court near Toyota's US sales headquarters in Torrance, Calif. The judges' panel said that the central District of California "is the most appropriate choice" due to its proximity to Toyota headquarters.
The panel added that centralization "will eliminate duplicative discovery; prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings, including with respect to class certification; and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary."

Bratislava Hot Serenaders - Cotton Club
The Bratislava Hot Serenaders orchestra belongs among the few strictly-oriented music bands in Slovakia. Its eighteen enthusiastic players have met for thirteen seasons without an interruption and its style remains unchanged. What glue keeps them together during our present turbulent economic period? The glue is their love of traditional music. They devote all their free time to "Hot Jazz" or "Sweet and Dance Music" which arrived in Europe at the end of the Twenties from America. In its homeland, the music has already been recorded, so the orchestra´s boys search for old shellac gramophone records, listen to them till early morning and note-by-note reconstruct the old sweet melodies and imitate their arrangements. After hours of practicing, they dress themselves into traditional costumes, put the brilliantine on their hair and start playing their vintage instruments and singing into a lone microphone.
Since 1992 they continue entertaining their unbelievably loyal and constantly growing audience. Their mutual friendship and love of entertainment results in a sort of obsession. They often visit each other and play for themselves at informal occasions. Even then they function at full throttle, playing with the drive and spirit so important to this style of music. The Serenaders have yet another love. It is also music - Slovak music. It was played and recorded in Bratislava and Prague in Thirties and Forties and is focused around one name extremely popular in thatperiod: František Krištof Veselý. The doyen of Slovak pop-singers made famous many melodies which are now adopted by BHS. The Bratislava Hot Serenaders are well-established abroad as well. In 1994 the orchestra won the Sidney d´Or Prix at the Grand Festival of Music of 20´s and 30´s in Saint Raphael, France. They regularly appear in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and other countries. They have recorded four CDs: "Prvé Rendez-Vous (The First Rendez-Vous)" (1997), "Cotton Club Stomp" (2003), "Ja som optimista (I´m An Optimist)" (2001) and "Celý svet sa mračí (The Entire World Is Cloudy)" (2002). Songs on the last two CDs are performed by Milan Lasica, one of the most popular Slovak actors and singers. Both CDs became bestsellers - the first one winning a platinum CD, the second winning a gold CD. Recently, selected songs from both CDs have been recorded for the first Slovak music DVD entitled "Milan Lasica & The Bratislava Hot Serenaders". Their successful cooperation also led to a new musical-styled performance in the Štúdio L&S theatre. In the show "Ja som optimista", the songs and melodies are accompanied by stories and anecdotes from old Bratislava

It is not clear if the hike to the $16.7 trillion debt limit would be completely "clean," meaning it would not demand concessions from Democrats. A clean hike would mark a significant concession to the White House.
It's also unclear if the House will end up including language in the bill to end the government shutdown that began its 10th day Thursday and has led to lower public approval ratings for Republicans.
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) said the Republican Conference was divided on whether the measure should also allow the government to reopen.
Rep. Tim Griffin (R-Ark.), exiting the meeting, predicted that whatever leadership brings to the floor would be approved.

Lou Wamp has played some kind of instrument as long as he can remember. He studied music at Cadek Conservatory in Chattanooga, and fine art at the University of Tennnessee (BA, 1980). In the late 70's he fell in love with the resonator guitar (dobro) and, like Jerry Douglas, began to explore it as an instrument without creative limitations.
He became a close friend of the late Gene Wooten (Osborne Bros.) in Nashville and credits Gene with much of his stylistic formation. He has since toured in bands Hiwassee Ridge, James Monroe and the Midnight Ramblers, The Dismembered Tennesseans, and Blue Moon Rising (where he met Justin Moses, with whom he continues to perform and record) and now manages two performing bands, Swing Shift and Bluetastic Fangrass.
He has performed across the Southeast and beyond for over 30 years including the 1982 World's Fair, IBMA Showcases, Memphis in May, Riverbend Festival, 3 Sisters Festival and many others. In 2009 he was asked to be on the faculty at Reso Summit in Nashville, along with Rob Ickes, Mike Witcher, Sally Van Meter, Cindy Cashdollar, and other fine players.
In 2005, he released "ResOlution", a CD project of mostly original music produced by Butch Baldassari."It's my favorite recording of my work so far," says Lou, "because it showcases the fact that my style can't really be pigeon-holed. Byron House came up with a great description of it: 'ArtGrass'. I love that one!".
He works (http://louiswamp.com ), teaches dobro lessons and workshops, and performs regularly in and around Chattanooga and the southeast.

Discussion in 'General Trek Discussion' started by kgartm1185, Jun 11, 2013.
Between these which is the largest?
The Enterprise-D is biggest* as far as overall volume is concerned, although the Enterprise-E is slightly longer.
In one version of Trek's future, though, it would presumably be the so-called Enterprise-J (designer Doug Drexler estimated the ship was about two miles in length).
*I'm not touching the nuEnterprise because her size apparently varies last time I heard, but she's presumably up there with the Enterprise-D (or maybe not).
Between these what? Each ship named Enterprise? The Enterprise-D is the largest vessel bearing the name to date. It had forty two decks and could hold a crew of more than one thousand people.
The Ent-E has a lot less internal space than the wonderful Ent-D, definitely. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ent-E is smaller on the inside than the Ent-C (Ambassador class), honestly.
Always wondered what a true successor to the Enterprise D/Galaxy class would look like, incidentally. The Ent-E is just a 'bad ass' ship so isn't adequate or suitable design wise.
The Odyssey-class
CBS authorized this design for the Enterprise-F after a contest for the Star Trek Online game. She's bigger than the Sovereign-class, but still just shy of the Galaxy-class.
(comparison to the Sovereign-class--warning: big-arse image)
I voted for length but the D is bigger, volume wise.
The Bad Robot Enterprise.
Enterprise NCC-1701-D: 642m
Enterprise NCC-1701-E: 685m
Enterprise NCC-1701 (alternate reality): 725m
The Enterprise-D has the most internal volume although the -E is a little longer.
The USS Vengeance dwarfs everything, at about 1450m.
Jay, 1+ mile long, many times the internal volume of the D.
I do believe the thread's over, then !
Bleaugh, it's just a Sovereign but 'kewler' and more aggressive looking. Well, it fits that design lineage perfectly, but isn't fit to clean out the waste disposal system of the timeless and ever-wonderful Galaxy class.
I agree. I like the Enterprise-F, but I think the proportions aren't quite right.
Some people just like fat chicks.
My vote go to the Enterprise J.
How do we know the E-J is to that scale, though? All we see is a blurry image on a monitor in Enterprise.
You'd think in the future, the long range vessels would get smaller as the technology got better.
The designer gave some states on the ship, she's just over 1 mile long, and that the saucer is slightly thicker than it looks.
Nope. The Odyssey-class is a beautiful design that fits as an early 25th-Century vessel perfectly, while still being in line with the Sovereign-class.
He proposed that it's 2 miles long and basically carried a city inside of it complete with parks, universities, and residential & commercial areas. Instead of turbolifts, the crew used site-to-site transporters to get around.
It's worth pointing out that the one and only time we saw the Enterprise-J ("Azati Prime"), we saw it from a window beneath the saucer section, yet according to the views of the completed model, she's flat. Oops.
I assume that they're making proper use of artifical gravity, and the bottom of the saucer is another ceiling - because if she's miles long. those windows are enourmous and it would take a brave crewmen to keep their orientation walking around on them!
The schematic of the Enterprise-J that's been floating around this thread is just a fan's personal interpretation of the design (as well as it's size in relation to the Enterprise-D), otherwise we don't know how big the windows of the ship are. Along with the ship's original designer who did the completed model, quite a few fans have come up with their own versions of the ship though.
The last thing a crew (unless you are an android) is to live in cramped conditions while far away from home.
Small ships sux.

HP claims fraud prompted $5B overpayment for co.
By PETER SVENSSON
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hewlett-Packard Co. said on Tuesday that it's the victim of a multi-billion dollar fraud at the hands of a British company it bought last year that lied about its finances.
HP CEO Meg Whitman said executives at Autonomy Corporation PLC "willfully" boosted the company's figures through various accounting tricks, which convinced HP to pay $9.7 billion for the company in October 2011.
Autonomy's former CEO said HP's allegations are false.
HP is now taking an $8.8 billion charge to align Autonomy's purchase price with what HP now says is its real value.
More than $5 billion of that charge is due to false accounting, HP said.
The revelation is another blow for HP, which is struggling to reinvent itself as PC and printer sales shrink. The company's stock hit a 10-year low in morning trading.
Among other things, Autonomy makes search engines that help companies find vital information stored across computer networks. Acquiring it was part of an attempt by HP to strengthen its portfolio of high-value products and services for corporations and government agencies. The deal was approved by Whitman's predecessor, Leo Apotheker, but closed three weeks into Whitman's tenure as chief executive.
Among the tricks used at Autonomy, Whitman said: The company had been booking the sale of computers as software revenue and claiming the cost of making the machines as a marketing expense. Revenue from long-term contracts was booked up front, instead of over time.
The allegations are serious, according to accounting experts.
"According to GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), the overstatement of revenue under any tax code is illegal," said Mark Williams, a finance professor at Boston University.
As a result of its alleged accounting practices, Autonomy appeared to be more profitable than it was and seemed to be growing its core software business faster than was actually the case.
The moves were apparently designed to groom the company for an acquisition, Whitman said.
Once HP bought the company, Autonomy's reported revenue growth and profit margin quickly declined.
Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch continued to run the company as part of HP, but Whitman forced him out on May 23 because it was not living up to expectations.
"Little did I know that there was more than met the eye," Whitman said.
With Lynch gone, a senior Autonomy executive volunteered information about the alleged accounting irregularities, prompting an internal investigation, Whitman said.
The case has been referred to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK's Serious Fraud Office, she said. The company will also try to recoup some of the cash it paid for Autonomy through lawsuits.
In a statement to the Financial Times, Lynch said "The former management team of Autonomy was shocked to see this statement today, and flatly rejects these allegations, which are false."
"It took 10 years to build Autonomy's industry-leading technology and it is sad to see how it has been mismanaged since its acquisition by HP," he added.
On a conference call with Whitman following the earnings report, analyst Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital asked who will be held responsible internally for the disastrous acquisition.
Whitman answered that the two executives who should have been held responsible — Apotheker and strategy chief Shane Robison — are gone. But the deal was also approved by the board of directors.
"Most of the board was here and voted for this deal, and we feel terribly about that," Whitman said. "What I will say is that the board relied on audited financials. Audited by Deloitte — not 'Brand X' accounting firm, but Deloitte. During our very extensive due diligence process, we hired KPMG to audit Deloitte. And neither of them saw what we now see after someone came forward to point us in the right direction."
Apotheker told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he was "stunned and disappointed" to learn of the allegations against Autonomy, and pointed out that they had gone undiscovered by HP's auditors, executives and directors.
Deloitte UK said it could not comment on the matter because of client confidentiality rules.
Whitman said she still views Autonomy as a "growth engine for HP software," albeit a weaker one than initially thought. HP has been attempting to morph itself into a company that not only makes computer hardware but one that delivers software and services, too.
HP's stock dipped $1.59, or 12 percent, to close at $11.71 in Tuesday's trading. Just after the market's open, the stock hit $11.35, its lowest level since 2002.
HP's net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Oct. 31, amounted to $6.85 billion, or $3.49 per share. That compares with net income of $239 million, or 12 cents per share, in the same period last year.
It was the second mammoth loss in a row for HP. In the third fiscal quarter, it lost a record $8.86 billion, or $4.49 per share. That was due to a charge for another acquisition — that of Electronic Data Systems, a technology consulting service that it bought for $13 billion in 2009. In that case, HP didn't blame improper accounting, just results that didn't live up to expectations.
Excluding the charges in the latest quarter, HP earned $1.16 per share in the latest quarter, just above the average analyst forecast of $1.14 per share, as polled by FactSet.
HP's revenue was $30.0 billion, down 7 percent from last year. That was below analyst expectations at $30.5 billion.
The Palo Alto, Calif., company stuck to its previously given earnings forecast for the fiscal year that just started, but it issued a forecast for this quarter that was well below analyst expectations. It expects earnings, excluding items, to be 68 cents to 71 cents per share, while analysts were looking for 85 cents, according to FactSet.

BATA memberr Inclusive Technology has won a Queen's Award for Enterprise for its success in exporting around the world.
The Oldham, Lancashire-based company, founded by BATA founder Martin Littler and two colleagues in 1996, received the award after signing up 25,000 paying subscribers for its HelpKidzLearn online learning service.
Inclusive Technology develops accessible software for children with severe learning disabilities or those without speech who need alternative or augmentative communication (AAC).
The company supplies the alternative keyboards, joysticks, rollerballs, switches, touch screens and eye-gaze systems used by learners with these complex disabilities.
As well as stocking and supplying assistive technology, the firm is involved in the design and specification of technology, investing time, market knowledge and, sometimes cash for tooling.
But Inclusive Technology's big overseas success has been the HelpKidzLearn service and its accompanying iPad apps.
For five years HelpKidzLearn was a free service attracting over 500,000 users. Then in 2012 Inclusive Technology put up a paywall round 90 learning activities and the following year added ChooseIt!Maker3 which allows teachers to create individual learning activities for each child.
HepKidzLearn contributes just over 20% of Inclusive Technology's sales compared with hardware which accounts for more than 50%. However, HelpKidzLearn is growing much more rapidly.
"All the people who work here are ever so proud," said Martin." It's fantastic, the award recognises the huge contribution that the whole British assistive technology industry has made during the past 40 years."
Martin believes the award will broaden awareness of HelpKidzLearn especially in the US. "We can use the (Queen's Award) logo for five years on our website and catalogues. Interest in our royalty in the US often seems bigger than in the UK.
"There are really only two nations involved in AT products: the US and the UK. We tend not to compete with the US. American stuff is really good at getting people back into employment, while we are better at the really complex end such as switch accessible software."
Of course the US has helped us by leading the way in legislation that ensures complete access to buildings. The Americans with Disabilities Act, which grew out of the need to help veterans, served as a model for our own disability discrimination legislation."
Inclusive Technology and HelpKidzLearn have customers in 59 countries and contacts in 149. Their strategy is to use a database of 120,000 registered contacts to engage key opinion formers and local distributors.
There is little problem in convincing people about the benefits of assistive technology, says Martin.
"When you've got a four-year-old who is as bright as a button, but has no means of expressing themselves and you give them that ability, no one who sees it would doubt (AT's) usefulness for a second."
"The problem is to understand what help the child needs in the first place."
And Martin's advice to other assistive technology companies looking to sell products and services abroad?
"Have something online, have something niche so you don't have to be huge, just good. Use the web and social media to build interest and be good enough at it to attract customers.
"Inclusive Technology had to invest considerable time and money in building and maintaining its service. The initial development took a lot of money and people to do that.
"But it has saved us money too. We don't have to provide CDs or as many printed catalogues."
Martin says the process of applying for the award involved over 40 hours of form filling, but it was worth it.
Now his 25-strong company faces a round of ceremonies, starting at Buckingham Palace and ending up with a presentation by the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester in front of an audience of school children.

ONLY FOR LOVE by Elaine Barbieri
GENRE: Fiction/Historical Romance
SETTING: Jamaica, 1772
BODICE RIPPER? Yes, mild
PURCHASE: link
FROM PUBLISHER: When Gillian Haige's father dies, his only legacy is a mountain of debts. But never does the eighteen-year-old English beauty dream she'll end up in the dank hold of a ship bound for the Colonies...as an indentured servant! And now her gentle twin lies desperately ill, and will surely perish unless Gillian takes one daring, irrevocable step.
It is a wild scheme, yet from the moment she meets Captain Derek Andrews and feels desire ignite between them, Gillian sees the bargain she can strike: her innocence in exchange for her sister's life. But on a journey that carries Gillian from the shores of America to a new life on a storm-swept island, she will be forced to choose once again...to fight for her freedom or to surrender to the man who has possessed her-body and soul-with his liberating passion...
MY THOUGHTS: Gillian, the heroine, is twenty, as stated on page 48, not eighteen, as the synopsis states. This story begins in England, then in Jamaica. Saying that they're headed for the Colonies made me assume they were talking about the British Colonies in the United States but that's not what they meant.
We got zero background on Derek and weren't even told his age or where he's from. He must have been in his late twenties, at least, since he'd spent some time in prison and is captain of his own ship, Colonial Dawn. He's rude and possessive of Gillian but not verbally, physically, or sexually abusive towards her. He doesn't seem too friendly either.
Gillian is feisty and stands up for herself, which I really like in a heroine. I didn't see the need for her to have a sister since the sister was a pretty weak character and served no purpose to the storyline, as far as I could tell.
I really liked the two main villains: Derek's ex-lover, red-haired and green-eyed Emmaline Dorcett. She was obsessed with having him though she was married to an older man. She was peppered throughout the story but I wanted more of her. I found her to be very interesting and wanted to see what damage she could have done. I really wanted some background on her but we got none, including her age. Her husband Robert said she was very young to his 50+ so I'm guessing she's in her twenties.
John Barrett, who's an agent for the London Transport Company, was in charge of all the indentured servants aboard Derek's ship. He became obsessed with Gillian and hatched a plan to have her. Gillian hated him with a passion and that ate at him and intensified his obsession with having her. John once called Gillian Madame Uppity Bitch!
Another villain early on was an older prostitute named Maggie, who was always called a 'vicious whore' by Jon Barrett. The verbal sparring between them was great! She too became obsessed with Gillian on the ship but I don't understand why she hated her so much. I thought she was going to do harm to her but that didn't happen.
This was published in 1994 but it felt like one older. The heroine had a backbone, the hero was rude, there were terrible villains. Though there's no abuse towards the heroine, I consider this a mild bodice ripper.
The negatives- I wish over half this story didn't take place on a ship. I wish Maggie's character had lasted longer and I wish Emmaline and John had teamed up to do some harm. You wouldn't know by the cover that this is historical and the hero/heroine's hair color isn't quite right.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin was "stewing" on Wednesday thinking about the Obama administration's efforts to block veterans from visiting the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. during the government shutdown — and he wasn't shy about letting everyone know.
"I want to say this loud and clear to the people on Capitol Hill who are listening, to this administration," Levin said on his radio program. "You lay one damn hand on one of those World War II vets at that memorial and I'll bring half a million people to that damn memorial! You got that?!"
Levin went on to accuse the White House of playing "damn games" during the partial government shutdown.
"You'll ignite a movement in this country like you've never seen before! The biker patriot army – veterans from all over the country, every single war and battle in this country, Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever!" he warned.
The radio host didn't let up, reminding everyone that the WWII heroes are in their 80s and 90s. "I'll be damned if this president or anybody else is going to shut down that WWII memorial," he added.
Levin continued, reiterating his warning: "So let me repeat! You lay one hand on one of those men and arrest them for going to their memorial, which they fought for, which was not paid by you dammit, it was paid by the American people – we will come out of every town and city in this nation! We will come out of every county. And both coasts! Both borders! And we will march on Washington against your tyranny!"
Levin may not have to follow through on his threat as the National Park Service has apparently decided to allow veterans to visit the WWII memorial going forward.

October 11, 2004–Irvine, CA–Billabong juniors is proud to present its latest innovative swim collection, "Comp Series, to the 2005 Spring Line. Designed for the competitive athlete and avid surfer, the "Comp Series features a group of swimwear that is endorsed by world-class surfer and Billabong team rider Keala Kennelly.
"The Comp Series offers something new to the market, and was created for the growing number of girls who are helping to push the progression of women's surfing said Candy Harris, brand manager for Billabong juniors. "With the Comp Series we wanted to take Keala's feedback and build the ultimate competitor's suit.
The Billabong design team has worked hard to translate a surf lifestyle into a line of swimwear that is functional and comfortable for athletes. "It was great to work with Billabong and help design a line of suits that stays in place in the most critical situations weather I'm surfing heavy waves at Teahupoo or training long hours on the beach said Kennelly. Both fit and function were tested by Keala to ensure that the tops were designed specifically not to rub or irritate the skin when paddling out for long sessions and that the bottoms could withstand the consequences of dropping into big waves.
The Comp Series suits are color blocked in bright combinations and have the Billabong logo screened on the back pant and front bra. Devoted to function, fit and comfort, the Comp Series is a great opportunity for girls to find both style and performance focused swim in one suit.

The mini dais.
I know a lot of people adoring my *cough* mini pelamin. Hahaha.
I get the inspiration from this:
First up: try to convince my mom. Or more like, she has to like the pelamin no matter what. Because if I said I want it, then I want it. Mom was skeptical at first. I kept on showing her the picture on my Ipad. Let her visualize but still she hasn't completely agree to it. I stop right there, whatever, this is gonna be my pelamin.
Then, even without my mom's approval, I started to sketch my pelamin. I know I had to fully DIY it so...
When I was back in Semenanjung in November, me and Obe listed out what we need and where to find but we could only managed few things: curtain rod, pots and side table all from IKEA and fabrics.
Finding the right stool bench was the hardest point! Obe had to scout all the way from Puchong to KL to Nilai to find one. He finally got one from IOI Mall at RM150. It was a clearance stock, it wasn't that clean but I did rub it off with fabric washer then dried it under the sun few days before the engagement. It had some black stain probably from the dust and dirts and also rusty stain which Alhamdulillah hilang jugak. Obe helped me sprayed the legs in white while I sprayed the body few days after that. Once dried I quickly ensemble it but my brother and Bux helped me fixing it later because it was loose! Hahaha.
I do actually had the exact side table, one, so all I need was another one. The lamp on the other hand, coincidentally, I had two.
The carpets (there were three) were bought from Nilai3 at RM50 each! Quite a bargain actually. Thank God mulut Obe memang mulut bargain so I always let him do all the talking hehe. We plan to use it for our room later after married.
I do plan to put lanterns but I miscalculate it. I thought we have a smaller one but none in white. So I just put two big lanterns each one side. Wouldn't risk letak banyak because takut budak kacau, which it did! Had to hide it from Danish and also from my cousin's kids.
The fabrics were bought from Jakel. But seriously, you should go for Nagoya or Kamdar je. We bought 3m jersey in apple green and another 3m flower pattern curtain. Divide it equally to desired sizes, cut and tied it. Syima did helped me on this one. Gosh couldn't thank her enough. Then I forced Mom to choose between all her green curtains and she said yes to this olive green curtain from Bangladesh, so I cut it.
I ensemble the pelamin on Thursday started with grilling the rod to the wall. Then Syima came the next day and she helped me with the fabrics. Under my grandma's observation -_- Uih she was such an observant ok! Kain senget ke potong salah ke semua dia nampak.
This paper tissue, I made it since early November! The tissue was actually for doorgift but decided to use some since I need something other than fresh flowers yet chic. Instruction given here.
And since I made it in KK, haruslah jaga nak masuk luggage kan. So this is what I did:
Alhamdulillah, semua ok.
The mini pelamin was ready by midnight. My sister came then she asked me to put some fairy lights because it was too bland, luckily I had one extra fairy lights, Obe bought because he felt sorry to the guy. Hahaha.
So there, my mini pelamin, fully DIY. Eventhough the carpets hapak, I had to sprayed Febreeze few times!

Ever since receiving advice re: removal of AOL, I have been in search of the best registry cleaner. I am willing to pay for the product, although I see many freebies offered and recommended. Where the software will be messing with the registry, I want to make sure it is a reliable program. Can you tell me the best program? (HelptoGo recommends "CCCleaner" and "EasyCleaner"). I see "Registry Mechanic" recommended quite often as well.
I have "One Button Checkup" with my Norton Systemworks, but I eventually want to remove Norton from my computers. Another reason I need to know the best registry cleaner!
Thanks so much!
