Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss II has been assigned a release date.
Publisher Image Comics confirmed that the first issue of the six-part miniseries will touch down on August 1.
Black Kiss II will serve as a prequel to Chaykin's controversial limited series of the 1980s, taking place in New York in the early 20th Century.
The creator revealed that he came up with the idea for the follow-up after listening to the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies.
"Black Kiss generated far more attention, notoriety, and frankly, income, than I ever expected," said Chaykin.
"After fielding offers and requests for a follow-up, it wasn't until I was listening to Stephen Sondheim's Follies, specifically the anthem that closes act one, 'I'm Still Here', that I had any idea how or what to do with a sequel. So thanks to Image for being there at the right time, and blame Stephen Sondheim."
Black Kiss II will be printed in black and white, and is rated 'Mature; due to its erotic content.

A stay at The Inn On Holly is like stepping from the rat race of today's busy world back to a sweeter, softer, gentler time. Kudos to Yvonne and Jake for creating this haven of hospitality in the lovely little town of Pitman, New Jersey! Jim and Susie Asheville, NC

I enjoyed my most recent stay at The Inn on Holly, hosted by Yvonne and Jake. It is my oasis after spending a full day of visiting my parents who are residents at Pitman Manor, a United Methodist Community. Yvonne and Jake are generous hosts and treat me as a favorite relative come to stay. Their home is beautifully appointed, reminiscent of the Victorian era, and the bedrooms are cozy and equally well-appointed. The bed and pillows…? Perfection, sheer perfection. The breakfast…? Delicious, and artfully arranged at their inviting dining room table. The Inn on Holly is the perfect place to stay when you are in Pitman, and especially when you are visiting your family at Pitman Manor. Jan K.

This treasure of a house is owned by caring, thoughtful folks who make me feel like I'm their favorite old Auntie who's come to visit. The charmingly decorated bedrooms are matched by the welcoming and wonderfully appointed parlor and sitting area that beg you to sit awhile to read a good book, or perhaps linger over morning tea. The bed pillows are angel's wings in a pillowcase and the mattress is heaven between bedsheets. My breakfast was tailored to my tastes and served pleasingly arrayed on the table. I frequent the Inn when I am visiting my parents who live in The Pitman Manor (a senior facility). The Inn is just a few blocks away, which allows me to spend more time with my parents, and less time traveling to a distant hotel/motel. Yvonne and Jake are waiting to welcome you! Walk in...and feel at home... Jan K., Orlando, FL

On Saturday we drove up from Richmond Virginia to see Kenny Vance at the Broadway Theatre in Pitman for our 47th anniversary. Having lived in the area we knew it would be hard to find a place to stay with out driving some distance. While waiting for the ticket office to open a local Police Officer recommended The Inn on Holly Bed and Breakfast. Yvonne and Jake the owners make you feel as if you were home. The food, service and accommodations were beyond our expectations. We can not wait to go back!!! Jerry and Peggy

My husband and I stayed at The Inn on Holly for 2 nights at Christmas 2011. The house was decorated beautifully! Our room was large and comfortable, and I think I slept on the best mattress I have ever laid down on in my life! We had the large, front side room with the king-sized bed, and our private bathroom was spacious and conveniently located just outside our door. Yvonne is a wonderful hostess. We enjoyed a nice cup of tea (for me) and coffee (for my husband) in the parlor before being seated for breakfast and had a chance to review the headlines of the morning's selection of newspapers. There were home baked Christmas cookies on the coffee table--delicious! At the table in the dining room, I enjoyed the dish of fresh fruit to start with, which included large blackberries--a real treat. I would definitely stay there again!

I visited my son at Rowan Universty and chose to stay at The Inn on Holly because of its close proximity to the campus. I was so glad I did! The inn is a charming Victorian with all the right touches. Yvonne, the owner is so hospitable you will leave feeling like you have made a new friend. I will definitely return!

I was working at near y Rowan University and didn't want to stay in a stale chain hotel. The INN on Holly was Perfect! Located in nearby Pitman, the Inn is quiet, luxurious with the best beds I've ever slept on. Best of all, it's located in the charming town of Pitman which enjoys many fine and affordable restaurants all within walking distance from the Inn., Toss in an interesting history, lovely architecture and friendly people, and you have a perfect "rest" spot for either business or pleasure.

I went with a co-worker - we had a business meeting in Glassboro and wanted to be close to the meeting place. My co-worker had stayed there several times before and loved it. Well.... I loved it also!! As soon as you enter the home you are immediatey comfortable and cozy! Yve is the best and makes you feel like you are visiting her, she is fun and very easy to be around. She spoils you and makes you feel special. The room was beautiful, comfortable with an in-room bathroom! The bed was the best ever....both nights I slept like a dream. The window was open and the fresh air was delightful with vines and flowers..... I will stay here whenever I am lucky enough to make another trip! Thanks Yve and Jake !!

"A strange modern thriller–Kafka meets Hitchcock–laden with questions about truth, identity, memory, and the importance of names, a story that casts an unsettling spell."
—Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child
"Like a tale by Lewis Carroll or a film by David Lynch, Samedi the Deafness teeters on the edge of unreality, plunges right in, and comes back again full circle. From its labyrinth of fictions, through the doubling and deceptive mirrors lining its walls and corridors, spills the eerie glow of some strange, ineffable truth."
—Tom McCarthy, author of Remainder
"Samedi the Deafness is an urgent book . . . trying intently to tell us something about our world and our way of living, and it challenges us to listen. No serious reader can refuse this challenge."

In 1912, James Deering bought 130 acres of land in Coconut Grove with frontage on Biscayne Bay. Two years later he purchased an additional 50 acres. Construction of Vizcaya began in 1913 and was inspired by an Italian villa - the baroque Villa Rezzonico -- in Bassano del Grappa. James oversaw the details in building Vizcaya just as he managed his factories: he studied the problem, involved himself in every detail, made his wishes known, and expected his employees to deliver. Construction was completed in 1922.
The main house at Vizcaya is distinguished for its Italian Renaissance-inspired architecture and its interiors filled with European, Asian, and American artifacts spanning two millennia. Unlike many other house museums from this era, Vizcaya still possesses almost all of its original furnishings, offering an experience of great historic and cultural integrity.
The gardens are notable for introducing a European design aesthetic to a subtropical context—a daring premise that resulted in early and ongoing experiments to identify appropriate plant specimens. While Vizcaya's style evokes faraway places, local stone, soil and plants reflect Deering's desire to showcase Miami and Florida's native, natural beauty.
In 1917 Architectural Review magazine devoted its entire July issue to Vizcaya. Articles also appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar extolling the house, its furnishings, art and sculpture, the stone barge in the Bay, and the beautiful and serene lagoon, gardens and statuaries. A complex of buildings called "The Village" was completed some distance from the house. Resembling a small Veneto town, it contained maintenance buildings, garages, stable, dairy, a poultry house and greenhouses. The estate also included a working farm and citrus grove.
James Deering built the village with the intent of making Vizcaya virtually self-sufficient. This idea evoked the spirit of European precedents while compensating for the limited services and commodities available in early twentieth-century Miami. The village's buildings housed staff quarters, an automobile garage, workshops, and an array of barns for domesticated animals. Fortunately, the village survives, and is in the process of being restored for public enjoyment.
By 1923, the gardens were open to the public on Sundays and Deering reportedly watched the crowds from his private balcony, curious to know the numbers who had attended but very humble and unwilling to take credit for his hospitality in person.
Hurricanes devastated Vizcaya in 1926, and again in 1935. The gardens along with many outdoor sculptures and furnishings were destroyed along with a significant loss of trees. Some areas were ruined, never to be repaired. However, much of the native plants and palms survived and flourished.
In 1945 the archdiocese of Miami purchased 130 acres of Vizcaya, filled in the lagoon, and built a hospital, school, and housing. Dade County exercised an option to purchase the house, with a very favorable price and terms to the county. It issued revenue bonds to fund the purchase of the main house and gardens and the remaining Farm Village and surrounding grounds in 1951. The Deering heirs loaned Dade County funds for essential alterations and improvements in order to open Vizcaya as a public museum.
Vizcaya dates its anniversary from 1952 when the contents of Vizcaya, including the garden structures and ornamentation, were first put on loan to the county. In that same year, Vizcaya was opened to the public as a museum. Over the next four years, the heirs executed deeds of gift, gradually donating thousands of objects -- from fine art to furniture -- to the county.
Hurricane Andrew swept through in 1992, flattening the mangroves, stripping and toppling trees, smashing the Barge again, and damaging railings and terraces. The house survived intact. In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma damaged the interior of the home and caused serious damage to the Barge and extensive destruction to the garden and tree canopy. After renovations, it was opened to the public again.
Today, Vizcaya is host to weddings, galas and fundraisers and occasionally serves as the backdrop setting for exotic and glamorous films. Children and adults tour the property and gaze in amazement at the magnificence of the end of an era. James Deering's legacy lives as a monument of the Gilded Age, and thanks to his vision and the Deering family's generosity and commitment to preserving that vision, Viscaya remains a place for everyone to visit and enjoy.

Western Peloponnese Castle tour
We visited the eastern Peloponnese in the past and made it to the Mani so this time we were determined to head west.
We flew Air Canada Rouge direct from Toronto to Athens. We were surprised at the number of Americans on the flight. Half of premium economy cabin were Americans. I had read on the forum of a family from California flying direct to Toronto on Air Canada and then on to Athens. I guess that 10% discount on the Canadian dollar is helping the Canadian economy
. Arriving direct to Athens was a pleasant change from connecting in Europe which arrives at dinner time. Instead we landed at 9:30 am which gave us most of the day. I am always warning North American visitors against driving right after a transatlantic flight but this was too good an opportunity to pass up, so armed with numerous cups of coffee and bolstered with adrenalin we met the representative from Athens Car Rental and within a half hour we were on our way in an automatic Hyundai Accent. I loved that automatic as this is a hilly country.
It has been several years since we drove from the airport on the National Road but there was markedly less traffic which we attributed to high gas prices and the economic situation which may be keeping the local population off the roads.
Ancient Nemia
We headed for Corinth intending to look for the amazing sinking bridge over the Corinth Canal but missed the turn off. We decided we would blame that problem on "Beatrice" our GPS unit rather than think it might be fatigue. So we just kept driving until we reached the turn off for Ancient Nemia. We wandered around the stadium and then headed over to the museum and the temple site. There have been lots of changes since we were last there several years ago. Zeus temple which had 3 restored columns now has an impressive 8 columns. The University of California Berkley and others have done a remarkable job of using toppled columns for the reconstruction project.
Nemia is one of those sites that most people simply pass by. It is not on the tour bus routes yet in antiquity it had its own games, part of the Pan Hellenic games which included Olympia. The stadium and temple are impressive and while the museum is small it is very well done. I think Nemia needs to hire a marketing department because it is worthy of a stop.
We completed our drive into Nafplio, found a parking spot and our hotel. We were staying at Agamemnon Hotel which I can highly recommend. It is right on the waterfront Promenade with ocean views over to Bourtuzi the Venetian era harbor fortress. What a setting!
While we still had energy we trudged over to new town to find a grocery store to purchase vegetables, cheese and wine. We hauled our provisions back to the hotel and had a lovely improvised snack on our waterfront deck then crashed for a few hours. It was a memorable first day
The next day we hopped into the car and decided to drive up to Palimidi fortress. On our previous trip we walked up all 999 steps to the fortress only to discover it was closing in 15 minutes. So we returned to explore this daunting fortress which looms over Nafplio. We spent a good two hours there. I brought a flashlight and was able to go down some tunnels leading into firing positions that were simply too dark to navigate without a light.
Here is a quick side comment. In the past many important sites closed at 3 pm and were closed on Mondays. On this trip, hours were 8 till 8 and 7 days a week. Obviously the Greek Government has decided to capitalize on it historical assets by keeping them open with convenient hours.
Nafplio is a delightful city with its Old town and marble paved Central Square and the fortresses make it a destination on its own.In fact in my opinion Nafplio is one of the two most beautiful cities in Greece. Its proximity to other ancient sites is just a bonus. Nearby you can visit Mycenae, Tiryns (the home of Hercules) and Epidaurus with its magnificent Theater. We decided to return to Epidaurus as we were only there previously on a bus tour and there wasn't enough time to do much more than look at the theater. This time we spent an hour at the theater, visited the museum, the ancient site as well as the stadium
On the way back Beatrice paid another little trick on us and took us on a round about visit to the countryside where we discovered a very solid bridge from Mycenaean times. Sometimes accidental discoveries are even better that planned activities
On the way back we visited Argos. There is an extensive archaeological site here, an amphitheater and a Venetian Castle. Argos is a very confusing city with narrow streets, traffic that believes stop signs are only for the feeble minded (like me). We somehow managed to find all of the sites. Unfortunately after a long switch back drive to Larissa castle we discovered it was being restored and was closed. At least we didn't hike up to it only to make that discovery. There is something oddly comforting about finding a castle perched up on top of a mountain that you can simply drive up to.
This is an album from several years ago with updated photos from this trip including Ancient Nemia, Epidaurus, the Mycenaean bridge, Argos and the amazing sinking bridge in Corinth

Castle Quest
Since we had enjoyed Palimidi we decided to try and find as many castles as possible so we headed way south to Pylos, Methoni and Koroni. That new superhighway toll road from Tripoli certainly is a convenient way to get south in a hurry although it was disquieting when it simply terminated in the middle of a field, as it is incomplete. Fortunately there was an exit with a sign to Pylos so away we went. The down side to this is we missed Ancient Messene. By the time we realized that it was too late to turn around. This whole area is just full of Olive trees and is the home of the Kalamata olive.
We arrived in Pylos and found a parking space and explored the town. We found the big square, the glass bottom boat tours and then started to look for a hotel. We found a couple of very nice water view hotels but they were priced way out of our budget. Even our normal ploy of walking away when we heard the price didn't work in Pylos. They just let us go without offering a better price even though the hotels were not full. I guess this is what it is like in a resort area. We did find a very nice hotel with balcony overlooking the bay right in our price range at 40 euros a night but discovered they had not yet turned on their air conditioning. I can understand the need to conserve power and for a Greek 26 degrees Celsius might be considered chilly but for Canadians like us - who have just heated our homes to 20 degrees for the past 6 months and outside temperatures were 14 degrees when we left home - we were suffering from the heat. So we left Pylos and drove to Methoni. 11 miles from the activity of Pylos, Methoni was a shock. There was no one around. Like Methoni castle the place seemed to be abandoned. We eventually found Methoni Beach Hotel for 60 euros a night (including excellent breakfast) and got a room overlooking the castle. We would highly recommend this lovely hotel.
We spent half a day exploring Methoni castle inside and out. Once again my flashlight came into play.
On the second day we returned to Pylos. Pylos is on Navarino Bay, the site of the famous naval battle in 1827 between the Turkish fleet and a combined force of British, French and Russians. A day long battle ended with 6000 dead and most of the Turkish ships on the bottom of the bay. We had hoped to take the glass bottom boat tour to see some of the remains of the ships. Alas, the boat wasn't running that day. We visited Neokastro the Turkish built fortress which is in the town. This fortress is in remarkably good condition and includes an excellent video presentation of the naval battle.
With the afternoon free because of the boat tour not running we decided to try to find Old Navorino castle built by the Venetians in the 13th century. This castle was on the other side of the bay down a dirt beach road. We parked with a bunch of other cars in a dusty parking lot and walked up a path past the sign to the castle. Beside the sign was another sign warning us that the castle was closed due to dangerous conditions. Now fully informed that the Greek Government took no responsibility for injury to stupid tourists we set off on our quest. Unlike several other castles this one was not a drive up. The path trekked around the headland through scrub brush until it started to climb through rocky terrain. Rounding a corner the castle came into view perched at the top of the mountain. It was large and seemed to be in pretty good condition so we decided to keep going. That was a long hike in the heat of the day but we eventually made it. The closer we got to the castle the more broken down it became. Huge chunks of the walls were missing. It certainly looked like it had been in a battle. For me this was the best castle we saw simply because of its state of decay and how hard it was to reach.
On our last day we headed to Koroni. It too has a castle. We were surprised by Koroni. It is a delightful town full of tourist infrastructure on the waterfront and lovely buildings with iron railing balconies spreading up the side of a hill. The fortress had huge bastions for cannon emplacements and was quite a different design from any we had seen before. We learned at Methoni the Venetians built large walled fortresses then built a town within the walls to protect the people. Many of the castles still had some ruins of the city. At Koroni however we were delighted to discover there is a convent, a graveyard, old churches and several families still living up there. This castle really provided a glimpse of what life may have been like 500 year ago. If we ever return to the Peloponnese we will definitely plan an overnight stay in Koroni .
On our last day we headed North through rich agricultural lands to find Olympia and then on to Chlemoutsi Castle. I had read it was the most important castle in the Peloponnese and was being reconstructed. It is an impressive setting high up on a mountain peak overlooking the small village of Kastro. My second impression though was it seems to be too far from the ocean to have been an effective castle. Information in the castle proved this to be true. After its early history no one wanted it and it gradually fell into decay. It is an impressive castle with an amazing view over the Ionian Sea, big walls and a circular keep. The reconstruction work is continuing with piles of cut stones and a crane on one of the walls.
That ended our Peloponnese tour.

Implement an online roulette strategy to win consistently!
Online Roulette Strategy
Is online roulette really a total game of chance? Does the casino always win? Are you just throwing your money away with every spin of the roulette wheel? These are common questions beginning roulette players have. The answer is also what separates a novice roulette player from one who can play roulette online for a living. And lucky for them, the answer is simple… If you are just betting randomly, the house will win. If you have a rock solid strategy, you will make more money at online roulette than any other similar game. But what makes a rock solid roulette strategy? First, forget everything you think you know. No, there are no table biases at an online casino. There is not a secret number or a dance that will make the roulette wheel stop on 8 every time. The secret is in betting strategies.

Middle school, the formative years in which students reach puberty and start the massive, life changing alterations that will determine who they are, is one of the hardest times for any new teacher to start their career. Problem students can become harder to deal with and those who are not prepared often don�t make it through their first year without a little help. This book has been written to help every teacher who is dreading rather than looking forward to that first day in front of their new classes. This heavily researched, detailed book will help first-year middle school teachers learn how to deal with supplies, planning, parents, overcrowded classrooms, the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act, piles of paperwork, money shortages due to budget cuts, negativity from pubescent students and other staff members, at-risk students, students who are capable but choose not to work, and special needs students. You will learn how to ask principals and administrators for help, how to memorize names quickly, how to create seating charts, how to write lesson plans, how to follow a daily routine, how to help struggling readers, how to gain respect, how to get a mentor, how to develop and implement a grading system, how to discipline students who feel they are more mature than they are, how to create assessments, how to find free things for teachers, and how to build your confidence. The most important thing of all, you will learn how to deal with the rapidly changing emotions and hormones of new teenagers and middle school age students. In addition, you will read about where to go for support, the reality of spending your own money on classroom supplies, mandated tests, technology solutions, and behavior management skills. We spent countless hours interviewing second year middle school teachers, as well as veteran teachers, and have gathered and presented their advice for how to deal with the first year in teaching at a middle school. With this book in hand, you will not only survive � you will feel empowered to go on after your first year and become a powerful motivating force for scores of young people for years to come.

Being able to stand on your own two feet, sometimes requires getting knocked off them completely…
McKenzie "Kenzie" Lane is newly graduated from college and looking forward to a dream internship she has lined up for the summer in LA. Unfortunately, her controlling mother has other plans.
Colby Singer, with his hot-as-sin looks and wicked charm, is never without attention from the ladies. Despite suspecting how Kenzie feels about him, he's always kept her comfortably off-limits since she's the baby sister of one of his best friends. But when he's determined to distract her temporarily from the stress of her mother's ultimatum, deciding to show her some fun, he quickly finds that keeping her in the friend zone is not as easy as he'd hoped.
Once Kenzie realizes this may be her last opportunity to gauge her long-time crush's true feelings, she puts it all out there in the form of a bet. It's the perfect idea for her perfect man.
Until he isn't.
Will a dose of reality lead to true love? Or will it crash and burn before it can even get started?

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic will appear for the first time before a UN war crimes tribunal judge Monday as the court's last wanted fugitive, arrested after seven years on the run.
Hadzic, 52, who is wanted for his role in the 1991-95 Croatian war, will face South Korean Judge O-Gon Kwon at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague at 1400 GMT.
At his first appearance, the erstwhile leader of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina during the early 1990s, will be asked to identify himself and his rights will be read.
The judge, an acting ICTY president, will read a summary of the 14 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes against Hadzic, including persecution, murder and extermination by his troops during the 1991-95 Croatian war.
Arrested in northern Serbia on Wednesday and transferred to the ICTY's UN detention unit in The Hague on Friday, Hadzic will then be asked to plead guilty or not on each of the counts.
He will however, be able to ask for a 30-day extention before having to answer again to the same question. If he fails after 30 days to enter a plea, a "not guilty" plea will be entered on his behalf.
Should Hadzic plead guilty, no trial will take place and the chamber will then instruct the ICTY's registrar to set a date for a sentencing hearing.
It could however still take months for a trial to start. The preliminary stage before the trial gives defence lawyers a chance to study the evidence collected by the prosecution during its investigation.
Wanted since 2004, Hadzic was the last fugitive of the 161 persons indicted by the ICTY.
The prosecution has charged Hadzic with war crimes and crimes against humanity, accusing him of having overseen the murder of hundreds of civilians and the deportation of tens of thousands of Croats by Serbian troops.
Hadzic is wanted for alleged involvement in the massacre by Croatian Serb troops of some 260 Croats and other non-Serbs taken from a hospital in Vukovar after it fell to Serbian troops in November 1991 following a three-month siege.
"Hadzic and his co-perpetrators set out to cleanse the non-Serb population from about one-third of Croatia and annex the territory as part of a new Serb-dominated state," the court's prosecutor Serge Brammertz said on Friday.
"Hadzic will be called upon to answer for the deaths of hundreds and the displacement of thousands," he added.
His arrest came less than two months after Serbian authorities finally captured wartime Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic, the court's most wanted fugitive.

After much prayer, advice seeking, and research...we have been blessed with the opportunity to host a new Catholic homeschool group! I'm incredibly excited to announce that my family has embarked on a journey of establishing a new Catholic co-op in our church. We are not alone in this, and there are other friends that are taking this step with us. And after many planning nights and meeting times with our priest, things are finally set for "GO!"
We are currently attending a Catholic co-op that has a wonderful group of moms. Unfortunately for me, the needs of my family have changed. It was a wonderful 1.5 years with them, but now it's time for us to move on. I'm absolutely ecstatic at the new possibilites that lay before us. From having a nursery and classrooms that accomodate students comfortably, to being able to enjoy the outdoors under a picnic shelter with a playground; our new meeting place meets all our needs to a "T."
I am especially thankful to our priest who so generously welcomed the idea and our group. Our parish is one that I have always loved and have always strived to be involved in. It is a place where my family has always felt welcomed and the kids have always looked forward to attending. I hope that as we start this new journey in January, we will all benefit from each other and develop a lasting relationship.
If you want to check out the group's website, just click below! My friend, Katie, did a wonderful job in putting the website together. I can honestly say that this was a big joint effort between her family and ours!
Holy Family Homeschool Enrichment of the Triad
I am looking forward to the planning that lies before us! In the mean time, we will be finishing off our semester at our current co-op. And although I wish all the members of the current co-op would join us, I'm thankful that they were there when we first started on our homeschooling adventure.

There could be no one who will dislike visiting famous landmarks. In Bristol, there are many such landmarks for you to visit. Some noteworthy landmarks to mention are the Georgian Queen Square, Clifton Suspension Bridge, and Cabot Tower. Take a look at some of the landmarks in Bristol from below.
Clifton Suspension Bridge: The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a world-famous landmark that was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a great Victorian engineer. However, he was not alive to see his creation that was completed in 1864. The work debuted in 1831, and it was dogged with financial and political difficulties. In 1843, the towers were completed, but the project was abandoned. After the death of Brunel in 1859, the Clifton Suspension Bridge got completed as a memorial. Now, almost 11,000 to 12,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day.

This park that is located amongst the Old City and Harbourside areas of Bristol. It is a popular retreat for the workers and visitors who visit the city to relax. Major events such as outdoor theatre and concerts are hosted regularly in the Queen Square. The Queen Square was a marshland till the 16th century, and it had been used as a rubbish dump and weaponry practice. In the year 1622, it was remodelled with tree lining and play bowls. In 1831, when there were violent riots all over Bristol, almost 100 buildings in this place were burned to the ground.

Decision-Making: A Neuroeconomic Perspective
This article introduces and discusses from a philosophical point of view the nascent field of neuroeconomics, which is the study of neural mechanisms involved in decision-making and their economic significance. Following a survey of the ways in which decision-making is usually construed in philosophy, economics and psychology, I review many important findings in neuroeconomics to show that they suggest a revised picture of decision-making and ourselves as choosing agents. Finally, I outline a neuroeconomic account of irrationality.

Worldview, culture and leadership
Not all fendi outlet sale finds are created equal. Some bags, colors or leathers are more popular, go on sale more rarely or disappear quicker than others. Right now, in the very early days of sale season, is the time to concern yourself with finding those pieces, should any of them be on your shopping lists. (And, let's be real: their scarcity is because they're on a lot of shopping lists.)
Because I get paid to sift through gucci replica sale sites with a fine-tooth comb all day and you guys theoretically get paid to do other things, I've gone ahead and done just that to find the hermes replica bags that are most in danger of selling out at their current discounts. Have fun.
Worldview, culture and leadership
how the world squeezes us in to it's mould
Our approach to leadership whether we like it or not has been largely shaped by our culture that in turn has been shaped by a nations dominant worldview. For Christians in many diverse cultures this poses a challenge as we seek to live and behave according to a Christian Worldview. Paul urges us in Romans 12v2 to "not be squeezed into the world's mold but to be transformed by the renewing of our mind". In order to work out this injunction we need to first properly understand the way in which our culture has shaped our behaviour and approach to leadership and then assess critically through the lens of scripture what specific transformation needs to take place. Unfortunately for many of us our interpretation of scripture is filtered through the very same cultural lens that we seek to examine resulting oftentimes in a spiritualisation of worldly practices! We have thus been squeezed into the mold of the world of the worlds thinking.
The talk explores some of the major different cultural attitudes and behaviours that have emerged over time, how they have been shaped by worldview and how they impact an organisation and leadership practices. The impact of secularisation in Europe is also be explored and the talk examines in detail the bibles teaching on specific leadership and organisational issues such as defining success, the use of time, planning, task orientation versus relationships and the function of leadership.

text: Quilts add color to any space they occupy. So, I thought why not add a splash of color to our computer workstation. I like the idea of giving this mechanical mouse a cozy quilt to sit on as we do our work. There we can enjoy this mini quilt as we dream up new ideas or find more projects to add to our quilting list. This design may inspire you to plant a garden; for me it reminds me of those days when I actually did have fresh-grown garden peas. Hope you enjoy this design for whatever reason you'd want to make it. It's quick and easy. Several years ago I came up with this idea, and since Craftsy has such a great place for us to share our patterns, I am offering them now as PDF patterns. This PDF pattern has colored illustrations, clear instructions, and full-size templates for the applique pieces that have already been reversed for the fusible applique process. Use my fabric choices as your guide and have fun with this project. BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY You should already know how to use a sewing machine and some of the fancier stitches. Preferable, you would also have knowledge of fusible applique and cutting out fabrics using rotary cutting tools. If not, you can still learn by referring to quilting books that teach these methods. From the different applique techniques, I like this one the best; and it is the easiest to do. SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Mini quilt - finished size: 9" x 7"

Non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians examine the physical properties of materials and components to detect corrosion, cracks, flaws and other imperfections which could lead to unreliability in product performance or in the worst case, product failure. They also inspect plant machinery to determine if maintenance is necessary. It is essential that the testing process itself does not have any detrimental effect on the material or plant under examination.
Materials which are used for structures are tested at every stage to ensure that they are safe. For example, the materials used in aircraft manufacture are tested when they are made, while the fuselage is being constructed and throughout the operating life of the aircraft.Non-destructive testing technicians use a variety of techniques to test materials, such as:
NDT is also used as part of quality control processes, particularly in manufacturing. It covers a wide range of other industries including aerospace, defence, transport, power, shipping, steel, oil, gas and petrochemical.
Hours vary but are typically 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Shift and weekend work is also common.
The work environment will vary according to the job and the industry. Technicians may work in clean laboratories, on noisy factory floors or outdoors. Protective clothing including gloves and face masks may be required for certain jobs. Some substances are hazardous so technicians have to adhere to strict health and safety regulations.
To be a non-destructive testing technician, you should:
Prospects will depend on qualifications and experience. There is a regular demand for skilled staff in all sectors.
It may be possible to progress to senior NDT technician, to specialise in a particular form of testing or alternatively, to move into purchasing, sales and management. There may be research and development opportunities within universities in the UK and overseas.

Attachment 3
It's the internet, it's NOT real! Grow a pair!..
Is almost too hot for a track day!!
But we shouldn't complain whilst the decent weather's here!!
It's quite a technical circuit and it wasn't until my 3rd track day there that I started to get to grips with the entire track.
The 80-90mph Coram Curve did that to my knee slider too!!
I love the place
Can't get on with that there Coram Curve tho, its just plain wrong! 4th gear, knee on the deck then on to the brakes...... STILL CRANKED OVER!! Just wrong and scary!
It's the internet, it's NOT real! Grow a pair!..
Coram Curve
Yeah, that is one of the trickier parts to get right.
I found the best approach is to roll off the throttle just before sitting the bike upright and brake hard, slightly towards the left-hander (Murrays?)
I'll see if I can find a decent clip from when I got it right!!
Then as you get to the apex, get on the gas hard, and...................................... LIFT OFFFF!!!!!!
Hit the deck, knock yaself out, spinal board, hospital, beer and smokes!
I'm here again!
With her indoors!
Set up in a garage having a beer or 3 waiting for the heavens to open! There's supposed to be an allmighty storm tonight.......
Fkk it, I'll just strap me wets on in the morning and see what all the fuss is about
It's the internet, it's NOT real! Grow a pair!..
it may not...
be too bad stealth, depends on 'if and where' the weather fronts meet....although you are well placed to cop a lot if it all comes together....should still be warm though so the mud won't be cold.(think Bangladesh not Russian steppes)" />
Kindle not a fire that you cannot extinguish.
Lucky you!
It sounds like you're going to have a brilliant time, whatever the weather chooses to do.
Looking forward to hearing more. Any chance of pictures? I like pictures
Try to be a sparkly unicorn, not a miserable cow.
I not raced a bike round it but my ex used to rally cars at Snetterton years ago!
Looking like it's going to be a nice weekend, which is good because I heading back to Norfolk tomorrow to see my folks
Enjoy your time at Snetterton
**its one **
fast circuit rich enjoy
at Rockingham at 7 .00 thunder and lightning heavy rain.
Paul is in the fast group with no wets!!!!Silly boy
Bit err, moist here too Rachel. On the plus side though the rain seems to have made the swarms of flies disappear, every cloud........
Hope you n Paul have a good day


text: I ran across literally hundreds of checkbook software for the android, and if I really thought the idea of keeping my only record of what I spend in a platform that can easily be lost or stolen, I would say fine and choose one of the free ones. I really don't need all the bells ans whistles of the big programs. All I need is a simple checkbook that will sync between my PC and phone. I installed splash money and it should have done what I wanted. But now the app on the phone keeps freezing up on my HTC Desire. But basically that is what I want. (Not the freezing part) But it sync's via wireless and not USB. Not really a big deal, since I can make that happen. I submitted a ticket to Splash Money but now have to wait for a response. Things was so nice with Pocket Quicken and My Quicken on the PC, no problems syncing at all. So until Splash Money responds and fixes the problem, does anyone have a suggestion on a checkbook software that will sync with a PC version? It doesn't have to sync with Quicken (But that would be nice) but to a PC checkbook.

Hi, so you're probably wondering what I'm doing making a intro post since my account isn't new.
I haven't been contributing to this forum at all, I've been leeching, downloading GTA V hacks and shit like that. I actually want to get started making GTA V hacks (anyone that can help me please PM me your skype), and I have moderate experience with coding in a few languages. I'm more experienced with web based shit, but I've done some work with VB.Net.
I'm glad to be here

Islamabad, Dec. 18 (Reuters): A Pakistani woman had her head shaved as a punishment for having an affair and her four-year-old daughter was made to marry the five-year-old son of her lover, police said today.
The punishments were handed down to Mumtaz Mai by a traditional village jury in the central province of Punjab on Monday, deputy superintendent of police Habib Ahmed Ghumman told Reuters.
Passing sentence on Mais affair with a married man, the council in the village of Jaddar Bhanda ruled that the couples children should be married and her head be shaved.
It also ruled that her lover, Ghulam Mustafa, should surrender his bullock cart to Mais husband. Deputy superintendent Ghumman said police had responded to the case by arresting the head of the village council and one of Mais brothers for initiating the trial, as well as Mai herself for violating an Islamic law forbidding adultery.
Another brother and the lover were still at large, he said.
Pakistani law forbids child weddings, even though this restriction is widely flouted.
Earlier this year, a woman was gangraped on the orders of a traditional village council in Punjab province because of an alleged indiscretion by her brother.
A court later sentenced six men to death for the rape in a trial which highlighted the abuse of women in rural areas.
Every year hundreds of Pakistani women become victims of so-called honour killings that can be triggered by anything from adultery to failing to bear a son or poor cooking.
A senior leader of Pakistans hardline Islamic coalition has defended steps to enforce Islamic laws in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) it controls, saying the public backed its actions. Fazal-ur-Rehman, general secretary of the Muttahida Majlis-e- Amal (MMA) bloc of six religious groups, said day moves to enforce elements of sharia ignored by the populace did not constitute a shift to extremism.
Our constitution basically calls for an Islamic way of life and whatever we are doing here is not anything revolutionary, Rehman said in Peshawar.
In general elections held in October, the religious Right swept to power in the NWFP and won a share of control over Baluchistan province, both bordering Afghanistan, in its best ever poll showing by far. The MMA alliance successfully tapped fierce opposition to the US military action in Afghanistan and to President Pervez Musharrafs decision to back Washingtons self-styled war on terror.
It also vowed to impose Islamic laws in Pakistan more strictly, a move seen by many liberals as a step in the wrong direction in the already conservative NWFP.
We are doing it democratically and our society demands it. There is no extremism in what we are doing, Rehman said.
Since coming to power, the Islamic alliance has banned music played on public transport and ordered that buses stop and let passengers off to pray at the appointed times if they so wish.
It has also advised cinemas in Peshawar to stop showing films demed explicit and police have been removing posters featuring women from outside cinemas.

Underworld factory boss Carla Connor will try to take her own life in a dramatic storyline set to air this September.
According to The Sun, Carla, played by Alison King, will be left devastated after Frank Foster sexually assaults her.
She then reports her ordeal to police and Frank, played by Andrew Lance, is arrested.
However, Carla faces another blow, as she declares her love for Peter Barlow and is knocked back for the second time.
Viewers will then see Carla decide there is nothing to live for; downing red win and overdosing on sleeping tablets.
She then rings Peter to tell him what she has done, prompting him to call an ambulance and rush over to see her.
A Coronation Street insider told the newspaper:
"Carla is at rock bottom. She prides herself on being invincible and feels utterly broken by Frank's actions.
"Peter is the only friend she has left and she's never felt rejection like it. She wants to end it all."
Viewers will be left wondering if Carla will survive - and if this will change Barlow's feelings for her.
The gripping scenes are being filmed this week and will air in September.
Catch Coronation Street Monday, Thursday and Friday nights on ITV1.

|What beef do you all have about DA HAIR?
But it's not just Dan's hair that has gone really bad on this show, as I would notice. Gossip Girl used to be the one program fashion savvy people and fashion wannabes look to for style points. Lately? It's as if someone abducted the show's stylist and everyone is left to dress themselves up or do their make-up.
Blair Waldorf's adorable, freshly made-up face was always refreshing to see in previous seasons:
What happened there, Blair? (Photo grabbed from Tumblr)
|"I don't know. I'm supposed to be pregnant on the show.
This pretend-baby is probably sucking all my glow, it's so realistic!"
And what about all-American, Sunshine Girl Serena Van Der Woodsen? Who took her glow? When did she start dressing up dowdy?
|What, this? This is a fashion statement!
And the statement is: I dress with my curtains now and don't wash DA HAIR.
You and the love of your life, Dan, are really meant to be. :P
At Diana's media party, Serena and her boss were made to look like twins. Did you catch that? There must be a song and dance number from these two, on the show's DVD version.
So, what is going on with Gossip Girl's make-up and wardrobe department??

That is kinda ironic.
I mean, really- I have to pay the college in order that I can work a bunch of hours for free to prove that I know how to work with kids, all for a degree that I am only getting to prove that I already know how to work with children.
*Sigh.* Adulthood makes no sense sometimes.

SF-CHI Grades: Despite loss, Bears' RB duo stands out
Here are the top takeaways and highest-graded players from the 49ers' 26-20 win over the Bears.
San Francisco
– There are few bigger liabilities on the offensive line than 49ers C Marcus Martin (-4.4). He was dreadful against the Bears, allowing three sacks, a hit, and a hurry on 43 dropbacks. Martin's -3.8 pass protection grade was second-worst on the team, while his -0.8 run blocking grade tied for worst. Overall, he's our lowest-graded center this season (39th), with a -38.8 grade. Martin's yet to record a positive grade in 2015, his best performance of the season coming in Week 11 when he recorded a -0.8. In his year and a half since becoming the starter (20 games), he has a -55.7 grade. It didn't end up costing them in this game, but Martin's performances are a serious issue.
– QB Blaine Gabbert (0.0) used his legs rather than his arm to steer San Francisco to the win over the Bears. He now has a +5.1 grade when he takes off on the season. Overall, he carried six times for 75 yards, and the 49ers only touchdown in regulation. Gabbert was surprisingly elusive in the open field on his touchdown run, putting a good move on the free safety and showing impressive speed. While the passing game was more of a struggle for him, Gabbert made the play that won the game in overtime. He failed to complete a single pass further than 10 yards downfield, aside from the corner route to Torrey Smith that iced the contest. Gabbert completed just four passes under pressure from eight attempts with four sacks (-1.3), but stayed in the game long enough to come away with the victory. Small steps in the right direction for San Francisco's new signal caller.
– Second-year corner Kenneth Acker (+2.9) had his best game as a pro against Jay Cutler. Although not spectacular, he's been solid this season, showing improvement throughout the year. In run defense he made six tackles, including a defensive stop for a team-high +0.8 grade. In coverage he allowed just two completions on six targets for 30 yards and gave nothing up after the catch. After Sunday's game, Acker now has a positive grade on the season (+1.3). Although he's given up some plays (four touchdowns allowed), he's also made some (three interceptions).
Top Performers:
CB Kenneth Acker (+2.9)
RILB Gerald Hodges (+2.4)
SCB Jimmie Ward (+2.4)
LG Alex Boone (+2.4)
RT Erik Pears (+1.0)
Chicago Bears
– Chicago's guards are playing amongst the best football in the country at the moment. LG Matt Slauson's excellent season continued against San Francisco. He recorded a season-high +4.3 grade. Overall, he allowed just a solitary pressure on 34 pass snaps, and finished with an impressive +4.1 run blocking grade. Slauson's performance was overshadowed, however, by teammate Patrick Omameh (+4.8). Omameh also allowed just the solitary pressure and performed as well in the run game (+4.2) as his partner on the other side of the line. He even found a way to contribute in the screen game (+1.0) with a couple of nice blocks. Only a pair of penalties prevented his final grade from being even higher.
– The Bears have a pair of backs they can rely on now in Matt Forte (+2.5) and Jeremy Langford (+0.3). Langford actually finished with the better rushing grade (+1.3) than Forte (+1.1). Langford carried 12 times for 59 yards (35 after contact) and broke a pair of tackles. Forte, meanwhile, carried 21 times for 84 yards (60 after contact), broke six tackles, and scored a touchdown. It was in the other facets of play where Forte set himself apart, however. He caught all five targets for 39 yards while Langford caught just two of three passes for 9 yards and struggled in pass protection, giving up a pair of hurries in just five block attempts.
– One of the most impressive aspects of this Chicago defense is the depth they have in the pass rushing department. Marcus Martin's struggles were predominantly the responsibility of Eddie Goldman, who recorded two sacks, a hit, and a pair of hurries in just 25 rushes (+3.3 grade). Goldman takes the majority of snaps, however. Others, like OLBs Lamarr Houston (+2.1) and Willie Young (+1.7), must wait for their opportunities off the bench. Houston recorded five hurries in his 25 rushes for a +1.6 pass rushing grade. Young, meanwhile, had two sacks and two hurries from his 24 attempts for a +2.2 grade. When defenses have the luxury of keeping capable pass rushers fresh off the bench, it sets them up well for the future.
Top Performers:
RG Patrick Omameh (+4.8)
LG Matt Slauson (+4.3)
NT Eddie Goldman (+4.0)
SCB Bryce Callahan (+3.3)
CB Kyle Fuller (+2.8)

Conservative estimates show that Wal-Mart has garnered over $1.2 billion in subsidies nationwide.3 In addition, Wal-Mart is notorious for questioning assessments of its property in an effort to lower its taxes. Public subsidies that Wal-Mart and its developers have received range from infrastructure assistance and tax breaks to government grants. Most of these subsidies can be allocated without a public hearing or city council input.
Despite efforts from the world's largest retailer, New York City is still without a Wal-mart. There are stores in other parts of the state, some of them subsidized. Nationally, the retailer has received over $1.2 billion is subsidies. Examples of subsidized Wal-marts in New York State include:
|Amount of Subsidy
|$1.4 million
|Distribution center
|more than $1.9 million
|Distribution center
|$2.2 million
|about $850,000
|Sharon Springs
|Distribution center
|estimated $46 million
For a database of counties and states that of Wal-mart's that benefit from taxpayer subsidies visit Wal-Mart Subsidy Watch, created by Good Jobs First, our parent organization.
Some other large big box stores receive benefits in the form of as-of-right incentives. A sample of two that receive discretionary benefits include the parking lot at a mall in East Harlem and Gateway Mall in the Bronx.
Good Jobs First also conducted research on how subsidizing big box retailers generally like Wal-Mart and Target often are an unwise investment and often fail to benefit communities. Learn more and check out the publications and resources page at Good Jobs First.
GJNY testified at a February 2011 city council hearing regarding Wal-mart's effect on small businesses and communities. Read our statement from the hearing or download our written testimony.
Wal-Mart's Subsidy History
Conservative estimates show that Wal-Mart has garnered over $1.2 billion in subsidies nationwide.3 In addition, Wal-Mart is notorious for questioning assessments of its property in an effort to lower its taxes. Public subsidies that Wal-Mart and its developers have received range from infrastructure assistance and tax breaks to government grants. Most of these subsidies can be allocated without a public hearing or city council input. A list of potential subsidies for a Wal-Mart store is below.
Free or reduced-price land. Would require a Request for Proposal, but not necessarily a public hearing.
Infrastructure assistance. This benefit includes construction of access roads, water and sewer lines, and other forms of infrastructure.
Tax increment financing (TIF). TIFs, originally intended to help revitalize blighted areas, have been used in many states for projects involving big-box stores in newly-developing or even prosperous areas. TIFs have yet to take hold in New York City.
Property tax breaks. Wal-Mart (and many other companies) has been known to avoid property taxes indefinitely by letting ownership of the facility remain with or be place with a public authority, thus making it tax-exempt. This process could take place through the New York City Industrial Development Agency or the Empire State Development Corporation, for example, where the firm could also apply for various sales and use tax breaks and would require a public hearing.
Depending on location of the store, companies are eligible for the city's Industrial Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP), a break on property taxes. ICAP is an as-of-right benefit meaning a firm is eligible based solely on its location and business type. There are no public hearings before this benefit is allocated. State corporate income tax credits. The value of this credit is nearly impossible to clarify as the only way to know the amount of credits is to review firms' tax returns, which are not public.
Sales tax rebates. Many states allow retailers to retain some of the sales tax it collects from customers on behalf of local government as compensation. This has become a major issue in many states but less so in New York State – called the Vendor Collection Credit – where there is a ceiling of $200 per quarter per outlet. This means retailers (not just Wal-Mart) kept $54 million in collected sales taxes in 2007 it collects.4 However, it's worth noting that this subsidy, especially for big box retailers, could be considered antiquated.
Excelsior (formerly Empire Zone) benefits. Like ICAP (mentioned above), the Excelsior Program is an as-of-right program that is dependant on a developer's location and provides a variety of subsidies, such as property tax abatements, state tax credits, sales tax exemptions, and reduced utility rates.
Job training and worker recruitment funds. Given the low skilled nature of some of the position at retailers, it's not surprising this subsidy is available to companies like Wal-Mart based on who they hire.
Tax-exempt bond financing. This benefit is available through the New York City Industrial Development Agency and the Empire State Development Corporation or other Local Development Corporation. Thanks to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a public hearing would be required prior to the allocation of bonds.
General grants. For example, in Johnstown, New York a Wal-Mart distribution center received a $650,000 Jobs Now Grant.
Fresh Perspectives on Fresh Direct
GJNY takes a close look at the proposed subsidy package--worth nearly $130 million--for Fresh Direct to relocate to the South Bronx. In early 2012, Fresh Direct started a bidding war between New York City and New Jersey officials when it threatened to leave its current home in Long Island City, Queens.

On Tuesday, Randy Bott, a BYU professor of religion, told the Washington Post that the LDS Church's historic prohibition on priesthood ordination for men of African descent was a "blessing" to blacks because they were not "ready" for priesthood authority.
"God has always been discriminatory" when it comes to whom he grants the authority of the priesthood, says Bott... Bott compares blacks with a young child prematurely asking for the keys to her father's car, and explains that similarly until 1978, the Lord determined that blacks were not yet ready for the priesthood.
"What is discrimination?" Bott asks. "I think that is keeping something from somebody that would be a benefit for them, right? But what if it wouldn't have been a benefit to them?" Bott says that the denial of the priesthood to blacks on Earth—although not in the afterlife—protected them from the lowest rungs of hell reserved for people who abuse their priesthood powers. "You couldn't fall off the top of the ladder, because you weren't on the top of the ladder. So, in reality the blacks not having the priesthood was the greatest blessing God could give them."

Appropriately enough, the title of the story Grey and I are reworking is Fade Phoenix. It's not the first time this story has risen from the ashes in the new form, but it just might be the best it's ever been. Or will be. As with any work in progress, there are rough patches to smooth out and assorted bumps along the way.
Once upon the time it was a M/M fanfic that we tweaked into an M/F story for publication because…well, it's a bit fuzzy now as to why we changed the gender. It was as a favor for one of our publishers at the time that did sell M/M stories, so…who knows. The gender change never really worked and the story never got the editing or rewriting love it truly deserved.
Some key components have remained the same since day one, but the writing has evolved and the right characters may have finally fallen into our laps. First came the names and then the faces, and now their personalities are making themselves known.
I finally got through my big first pass. Now it's Grey's turn to work her magic. I'm the rewriter but she's the mistress of detail and coherency. I throw the curveballs; she does the research that ground them in a believable reality. When we're good, we're brilliant. And when we're down, we need to remember just how damned awesome we are.
Being a writer isn't a stagnant process. It's a constant evolution of self, of skill, and of story. An ongoing rebirth.
More and more, it's seeming like that phoenix tattoo I got is quite fitting.
