The purpose of this article is to put another skill (if not a skill, perhaps
a seed) in the mental toolkit of preparedness-oriented individuals. Although
not an exhaustive study on clandestine operations, this article will give
you a glimpse into an advantage seeking two part mindset – sabotaging
the enemy's equipment and keeping your equipment from getting sabotaged!
It is assumed the condition under which this article would find use is the
end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI). Please don't go
do something listed in this article that you don't have the skill or
legal right to do.
You want to ensure the survival of yourself and your loved ones. I'm sure you've made preparations to do so, right? You have to keep your equipment preparations running to get a tactical or survival advantage from them. You must learn to see your equipment through the eyes of a saboteur. This will allow you to spot equipment vulnerabilities. Why would anyone want to sabotage your gear? They would do it for the same reasons they would threaten you in the first place. Their lack of morals, planning, and diligence, brought to the surface by a desperate situation, leads them to persecute you for gain. Your equipment stands in their way. The reason could be that they don't want you to have anything they don't have!
Some may consider sabotage a little too proactive – too dangerous even. We're talking nightmarish end-of-the-world stuff here. We're talking about using any and every tool in the box to keep our loved ones safe. Sabotage is a no-brainer if you are gutsy enough to use recon teams or actually make an armed stand. Once you get past the negative aura of the word "sabotage," you realize it is indeed a valuable skill. Why would we ever want to sabotage someone's equipment? It is the same reason that causes us to buy expensive battle rifles and copious quantities of ammunition – to deny the enemy the ability to take our freedom and lives. If you do not maintain or gain the tactical advantage, will not the enemy gain it? What good is a stockpile of all the latest gear or a heap of brain power and courage if you simply refuse to fully use it? Learn to see the enemy's equipment through the eyes of a saboteur to reap huge tactical rewards. Perhaps the elimination of the enemy's advantage will spare you from having to take his life. Sabotage can have a large psychological impact. A discovered act of sabotage lets the enemy know that they are not safe. It will throw them "off their game."
You can hide in your retreat, counting bullets while sporting only your lucky camouflage boxers. However, you wouldn't need that expensive battle rifle and all that ammunition if no one could ever find you. You will have a confrontation with a hostile organized group. It's too small a world with too few morals. Ruthlessness is surely a trait that would allow said hostile group to survive in lieu of preparedness. They'll be roving the wasteland looking for more supplies and victims. Their survival would be evidence of their pillaging proficiency. As we all learned in grade school, bad people don't fight "fair." There will most likely be more people in their group than in your group. As we get older, we realize that fighting "fair" really means fighting with a handicap. There must be some pseudo-religious notion in the subconscious mind of upright people that tells them anything remotely perceived as "sneaky" is wrong. When someone threatens the life of you and your loved ones, then you must do whatever it takes to protect yourselves. This is why survivalists who actually survive TEOTWAWKI will use tools like sabotage.
Types of Sabotage
The first type of sabotage is covert. That is, the target does not discover the non-working machine for some time or discovers the non-working machine but does not immediately suspect foul play. This type of sabotage requires the most skill, time, and planning. A lightly armed team of two lookouts and one technician, each fully blacked-out with NVGs and good noise discipline, could accomplish a fantastically effective covert sabotage. One person with nerves of steel, a pile of patience, and the proper motivation can work wonders too! Some of the reasons for covert sabotage are listed below.
1. Keeping the target from knowing there is a hostile force in the area.
2. Attempting to avoid retaliation from target.
3. Extra time for escape and evasion.
4. Attacking the target right before it discovers its equipment doesn't work (surprise!).
The second type of sabotage is overt. It could be loud, fast, and ugly. It could also be just loud, just fast, or just ugly. If this type of sabotage had a mascot, it'd be a sledgehammer. Once the target gets near the machine, it's red alert time. The target may even hear or see the sabotage happen. It doesn't matter; you just want his machine out of the game! Overt sabotage is mostly the stuff of last ditch seat-of-the-pants defenses. Some of the reasons for overt sabotage are listed below.
1. Approaching enemy vehicles.
2. Quickly shutting down enemy communications.
3. Diversions.
Covert Vehicular Sabotage
Covert vehicular sabotage can range from slowing the target down to keeping them from moving at all. Probably the most cunning covert design is that which leaves a small team stranded some distance from base camp. The designer would have a good opportunity to ambush the stranded team. The following list is a sample of what can be done. It is mostly arranged from mild to wild. Not all items are applicable to all vehicles. Some of these items may require the use of an "improvised" car door key. Some vehicles have the hood release cable located directly behind the grille, which can be manipulated to open the hood without gaining access to the interior of the vehicle. Remember, it is assumed that the perpetrator has put some thought and planning into situations like these:
Examples of Overt Vehicular Sabotage Here is a partial list of the easy, ugly, quick, and dirty.
Examples of Stationary Equipment Sabotage
Protecting Your Equipment from Sabotage
We have explored some sabotage possibilities. Hopefully you will start examining your equipment for possible vulnerabilities. It is not possible to list every conceivable scenario here like a playbook, therefore, it is important you learn to use your imagination and think like a saboteur. Use the following list as a starting point:
Use layered security (combination of all) for the most effective setup. - A. Farm Graduate

Home › Blogs › Steve Greenberg's Cartoons
« The age issue | Main | So, vote! »
November 2, 2008
Prop. 8
Although I'm not a Libertarian, Prop. 8 kind of begs the question, "if two people find happiness together, and it doesn't directly affect you, then why should that be any source of unhappiness for you?" Or, isn't the idea of people being committed, and not promiscuous, a positive thing?
I agree wholeheartedly. While I may not choose a homosexual relationship, I don't see how someone else choosing one affects me negatively. I therefore fail to understand the reasoning behind beliefs and actions taken against such relationships.
Come on, people, just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it right to enforce your own prejudices/morals/beliefs on the people with whom you disagree.
Mr. Greenberg, Joseph Goebbels could've used your talents.
Look folks - ask yourselves if you're OK with exposing your children to an alternate lifestyle that is being pushed into the realm of normalcy by people like Greenberg and the Gay agenda. Are you just fine with your kids exploring and perhaps embracing a gay relationship? Society has become fashionably ambivalent because propaganda like the above cartoon and are afraid to take stand for fear of being labeled a hateful person. Look who's calling the kettle black, eh Mr. Greenberg?
Teach your children what's right and wrong, teach them tolerance, to respect themselves and others but do not give in to this social madness that's being forced upon us.
I would be just fine with my child exploring a homosexual relationship. I would love them no matter what they did. It's not my right to chose who they date and what sexuality they are. I would have my children educated on homosexuality so that they don't go out and bully a homosexual person or exclude any other children who happen to have same-sex parents.
We've kept this issue in the jar for way too long. It's time to bring it out, like we did with women and different races.
Marriage having any kind of 'sanctity' is only an opinion and a belief. You have NO right to force your beliefs on anyone and affect their life, it's a violation of the amendments.Posted by: Gillian at November 3, 2008 11:39 PM
Why is it that Victor had to bring the Nazis into the conversation to attack Mr. Greenberg? That is dumb. Victor, do you really think people choose to be gay? When did you choose to be straight?Posted by: G at November 27, 2008 8:02 PM
I think the only "gay agenda" out there is the desire for 1) equal rights and 2) to be tolerated. Doesn't sound too bad to me.
Well, actually, I don't think there is a gay agenda, it's just a phrase coined by idiots to spread their own agenda.
Also, godwin's law.Posted by: MMR at January 19, 2009 10:12 PM
Ok, Victor, you just totally made the assumption that being gay was a bad thing, That's called Homophobia, You got a nasty case of it muchacho. You also made the assumption that one can be forced or coerced into homosexuality. maybe i missed the memo, but nobody forced me to be straight, It just came with the packaging, you know what i mean?Posted by: Ryan at April 28, 2009 11:00 PM
I was NEVER exposed to homosexual relationships at all until my late high school years. The one time when I was seven I asked my parents what "lesbian" meant. They told me what lesbians were, and told me that all lesbians go to hell because being a lesbian is a sin. Before I encountered my first gay relationship the topic of gay marriage came up and my parents were both very explicit in the fact that they thought it was wrong and sinful.
Needless to say, I will still invite them to my "committment ceremony," since my state doesn't have domestic partnerships or civil unions, to my loving "fiancee" and soon to be "wife." I don't think they will be in attendance, though.
Even without ANY exposure to homosexual "agendas" I am still a lesbian. Straight people can raise gay children.Posted by: Nikki at May 27, 2009 3:24 PM

Fruit Fly, playing Sun 10/18 and Mon, 10/19 at Dole Cannery, uses its songs as pure whimsy, and the playfulness comes through from the opening credits in H.P. Mendoza's opening score. This is the second musical for the screenwriter, who starred in 2006's Colma: The Musical, and like that film, Casio keyboards ought to be sending him thank you letters come Christmas time. Following the adventures of Bethesda (L.A. Renigen, who also starred in Colma), a Filipina girl working through abandonment issues through performance art, the musical numbers begin as soon as she appears on screen, in a loving tribute to San Francisco's public transit system. Moving into a communal house filled with various misfits, Mendoza has the characters tell their stories through songs, from a ballad toward teen angst ("Speechless"), to the utterly filthy duet "We Have So Much In Common." Bethesda makes friends, finds lovers, searches out her missing mother and comes to a realization that in her short time in the city, her community has already outed her as a Fruit Fly (a more PC-friendly term for "f*g hag," which is also debated and discussed through song).
All told, Fruit Fly has 19 musical numbers, ranging from punk to electro dance. The songs all display a grand helping of wit, though Mendoza's predilection toward perversion can grow a bit wearisome. The film won this year's Audience Award at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, and for those who can handle subject matter that makes no apologies, it's obvious why it was so well-received, even by those who usually avoid musicals.
(ed: "Predilection toward perversion"? Dude…it's a song about sex between two guys. In light of Proposition 8, a journalist really ought to watch his words…)

Sorry I'm so late to the party. To clarify, I wasn't suggesting the acts, whether heterosexual or homosexual, were perverted in the sense that they were wrong. Only that the over-stimulation/suggestive aspects had grown tiresome. In example, I mean in-as-much as how South Park lost their edge from the overuse of profanity, and so they switched to topical humor. I welcome discussion, and you may reach me at deancarrico with the standard g-mail address, if you want to discuss this further.
Right on! Among other logical fallacies in this "traditionalist" -ism is the 'appeal to common practice', embedded therein. After all, there's nothing healthy about being well adjusted to a sick society.
Dean, no, let's keep this public. That's the beauty of the modern age. You published it publicly, so I'm responding publicly. The beauty of online film criticism is that people can respond instantaneously.
There's one song ("We Have So Much in Common") in which the second half goes into graphic detail about sexual acts. ONE. A song that's 3 minutes and 41 seconds. Nowhere else in the movie does it get as graphic as that. Certainly not in the lyrics. I reserved all of the raunchiness for that one song, and it's an indictment of the over sexualized nature of gay hookups.
I'd like for you to cite other instances in which perversion pops up in the movie. If you say that the predilection toward perversion grows wearisome in the "We Have So Much in Common" the 11th of 19 songs, then I'll accept that (even though I stand by the fact that the raunchiness lasts for half of a 4 minute song). But your statement is "The songs all display a grand helping of wit, though Mendoza's predilection toward perversion can grow a bit wearisome".
I can take all kinds of criticism. Hell, a movie critic called me "downright ugly" and I knew it was only his opinion. But, going off of the sentiment implied by the construction of your sentence, I'd like for you to cite other instances in the other songs in Fruit Fly which show my "predilection toward perversion".

Pros: Cant get anything cheaper, especially for two watches. I like the design and it fits well on the wrist. Digital display is ok.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: A very handy watch that is easy to use,easy to read.Light on the hand barely there.

Other: If you want a cheep , east to read ,and handy but use them with my provided information and you will enjoy your product
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Small Lightweight Simple Easy to use Cheap You forget your wearing it My wife loves it Safe. If the watch should snag during sport activity or at work then it will break before causing injury to your arm.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I like the shape of the watches, and they are not heavy so when i'm doing any activity i don't feel like i'm wearing any watch comparing to the price that is super nice and i suggest the others to by one. And it was delivered in less than a month wich is very good

Don't be fooled by what they tell you, the people behind [Candy Crush Saga] are the purest of evil.
I have conducted my email business under the hope (the delusion, actually), that this giant company—which again, is photographing the ENTIRE earth and making it public for all to see—would treat my inbox with respect and care. I am a fucking idiot.
What I'm basically saying is that having kids is like being stuck in Antarctica.
There will come a time when a sports star comes out of the closet and no one will care. Not the media. Not the internet. Not teammates. Nobody. But that will be a different kind of indifference. An accepting indifference.

There comes a time when every small business has to decide to expand and grow, or stay where they are and keep things simple. For most entrepreneurs, the goal is to grow and expand, and companies that rely on the Web for presence, and even sales, are no different.
If you're considering expanding your online presence, but your skill set and time availability are minimal, it might be time to outsource that work and let someone worry about the day to day, while you look at the campaign's success with a "25,000-foot view," so to speak.
There are right and wrong ways to hire an outside SEM firm. Following some simple rules can make or break your ROI when you pay someone to manage your SEO, PPC, social media, and Web site content and design.
Formulate a Game Plan
Know what portion of your search marketing you're looking to outsource. You could keep Web site maintenance and design elements in-house, but hire an outside company to manage your paid advertising or SEO. You can also contract with an outside company to just handle one element, be it paid, organic, or social.
Having a plan for what you'd like to outsource means you can ask every company you talk to for the same thing. The end result is that you're comparing apples to apples when you make your decision -- and the cost, reputation, and ability of the company is much easier to focus on.
Do Your Homework
You can't enter into any contract or business agreement without knowing what you're getting into. It's extremely important to research what you're buying, what the effects are on your online presence, and if those techniques could possibly get you banned.
Outsourcing is for those who don't have the time and/or advanced skill set -- if you aren't going to invest time in grasping the ins and outs of online marketing, don't even go there. You'll end up being disappointed.
Know Who You're Hiring
Don't send a check to the first cheap company that comes along. In most cases, and definitely with SEM, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Ask your prospective partner for references, articles about their work, links to reviews, etc.
You can look at SEMCompare.com for independent reviews about SEM/SEO companies, but as this is a newer site, many aren't yet listed. Remember, just because they're not listed there doesn't mean they aren't good. If you've done your homework, you'll be able to tell if the company you want to hire knows what you're talking about.
Listen to Your Gut
I've talked to lots of companies about outsourcing portions of our agency workload throughout the years. You get a feeling when you speak with people on the phone -- sometimes you like them, sometimes you don't. If you follow your gut and consider the companies that know what they're talking about, sound professional, and talk like they want you to succeed, you're going to be happier in the long run.
Set Clear Goals
Starting with an RFP is a great way to make sure the company you hire is on the same page as you. Spell out your goals, wants, and needs in this document and reinforce that understanding in the sales process.
That being said, be realistic about what you can achieve with the budget available. Make sure the company you hire agrees with the goals you've set together.
Hire a Partner
The most important piece in hiring an outside company to take over your search marketing is to hire a partner. Your goals and successes should be theirs.
A good company will offer help and guidance through the process and make sure you're buying something you're comfortable with, and ultimately will help you realize your goals. Being prepared is the key to moving through the process in the right way, and these tips are designed to help you do just that.

Wow, all my Facebook friends are really HUGE GWAR fans…. I had no idea.
How has EVERYONE heard this album already???
I must be slipping.
Well, you only lasted for 3 songs, so that's not too bad.
I think Kanye has actually mentioned Bruce a few times when interviewed recently.
Supposedly his next album will be "his Born in the USA"

I think the stream quality is crap.
It sounds overly "tin-y" or "ting-y" if that makes any sense what-so-ever.
Or the ever-so-popular ">"?
Which member is your boyfriend?
Funny Man? J-Dog? Na, you seem like more of a Johnny 3 Tears kinda gal.
The #1 reason I watched that video was to hear how Alex pronounced the band's name.
Jeff Goldblum is on The League?
I need to catch up.
I think he has a (hed)pe shirt on, too. Wow, that brought me back.
Thanks for sharing.

Most parents have fuller calendars and longer to-do lists during the holiday season. While these extra activities certainly can add stress to our lives, we accept them because we want to make the holidays special for our families. What we may not realize is that our frenetic pace and internal pressure to create the perfect holiday experience can create more stress than warm feelings for our children. Here are a few ideas for making the holidays special, without being too stressful for anyone:

text: Greetings, Just for Interest, I have successfully Built both Clean (No RTEMS) and RTEMS Specific versions of GCC 2.95.1 under Cygwin without any major hitches. I have Built M68k-coff SH-ELF M68K-rtemself SH-rtemself And they seem to work just fine. One Question David, I can't add both your Coldfire Fixes and the RTEMS patches into BINUTILS at the same time. Is there any way around this ? RTEMS compiles just fine, except for that annoying TERMINATE problem. when checking the compilers. I Butchered the RTEMS files around it temporarily (Faked the Response to YES this is a cross compiler), But this is NOT good enough. I REALLY want this bug with detecting foreign executables fixed, as it is extremly anoying, as not only does it think it can run it, it ,makes the script think it is NOT a cross compiler, which breaks the build badly. Anything I can do to help, let me know. I Did most of what you did, but didn't install PERL..Is it required, I saw a message saying it was missing, but nothing seemed to hicup ?? I have actually started writing a new insert to the Getting Started Guide to cover the CYGWIN compile end, but am waiting for CYGWIN 21b to be released. Are you (or anyone else) working on this Doco?? (Don't want to duplicate the effort). Anyway, my new SH1 & 68EZ328 ProtoBoards come back from the manufacturer in about 2 weeks (Still designing the Coldfire 5206e Board), so hope to have RTEMS fired up and cooking on them soon.

At My Doctor, a family clinic in the 19000 block of Blanco Road, Dr. Shabaz Yazdani is seeing his door swing open a lot these days with unhappy patients looking for relief.
Seventh-grader Fernanda is a good example. Her mother brought her in after weeks of suffering from itchy eyes and a cough.
She thought it was allergies. The doctor said it was beyond that.
"This is a sinus infection. It's on the left side and so it's putting up a lot of pressure. That's why it hurts and that's why you have a cough," Yazdani informed the young allergy patient, who will go home with prescriptions for antibiotics and a cough medicine.
He also gives her a lesson in pollen counts, showing how high they are spiking now.
By noon Tuesday, he said he's seen a number of cases of downright flu, bronchitis, respiratory infections and allergies.
He said the notorious mountain cedar season is in full swing, which may start allergy symptoms, but then get complicated with infections that require a doctor's care.
"I tell my patients, 'Prevention, prevention, prevention,' which means, 'Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands,'" he advised.
He also says it's time to see the doctor when your symptoms don't go away in a few days, noting that the first 48 hours are crucial if you have the flu.
He said patients need to trust their gut, and go to a clinic when they have a fever.
Also, he advised they stay away from crowded events if they don't want to get caught up in this season of sickness.

It's never too early. In fact, fetuses can recognize their mother's voice from the womb —so why not make reading aloud a habit while you're still pregnant?
And once your baby arrives, reading to your newborn is a must, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. He won't understand your words, but hearing your voice stimulates an interest in sounds and helps him develop listening skills.
Plus, no matter what your baby's age, reading together is a great opportunity for cuddling and bonding. By developing a regular reading routine from the start, books will become a natural part of your child's day—one that he'll associate with fun.
Reading helps build your child's vocabulary, stimulates her imagination, and improves her communication skills. In fact, the more you speak to your child from the get-go, the better it is for her growth and development.
A running commentary on the state of the neighborhood during your walk and naming your child's body parts as you bathe her are good ways to chat. Reading is one more fun way to add variety to your verbal interactions.
Reading to your baby introduces her to the concepts of stories, numbers, letters, colors, and shapes, and gives her information about the world around her. It also builds memory and vocabulary skills. By the time she's one year old, your baby has already learned all the sounds she needs to speak her native language. The more words she hears, the better she'll be able to talk.
For the first few months, your infant picks up on the rhythm of language—rather than the content—as he hears you speak. Repetition is good because it helps your baby build language skills. And to keep it interesting, vary the pitch of your voice or use different voices for different characters. But really, when it comes to reading materials, anything goes&dash , magazines, or even that novel you've been trying to finish.
Your baby may also be fascinated by pictures with bright colors and sharp contrast, so get plenty of board books and picture books.
The most important thing is that your baby is making a connection between the things he loves the most—your closeness and your voice—and books. This shows him that reading is enjoyable and important.
You don't have to get all the way through a book, either. Just taking a few minutes here and there to read aloud to your child can make a difference.
Let your child be the judge. She'll probably end up having several that will become favorites, and she'll light up with excitement every time you get them out.
Books with colorful drawings and catchy phrases are sure to please. Some children prefer books with photographs, while others like books with built-in activities—images hidden under flaps or behind sliding partitions, for example. Your baby may also enjoy the singsong rhythm and playful wording of nursery rhymes. They're easy to remember, so you can chant them during daily routines ("Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub").
Once you've explored a favorite type of book, try another. Your baby's sure to enjoy something completely different every once in a while.
Don't choose anything too delicate, though. Babies love to grab and mouth everything they can reach, so board books or those with heavy-duty pages can endure the most wear and tear.
Babies need to feel an emotional connection with the words being spoken or they simply filter out the language, so steer clear of audio books as well as computers, television, and radio. "As with all activities parents do with kids, it's how attentive parents are to their kids' responses that is so critical," says Betty Hart, professor emeritus of human development at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Experts say television and other forms of electronic media are best reserved for children over age 2.
"Putting babies in front of a machine is alienating," says Eveline Carsman, editor of Children's Review Newsletter. In her opinion, television shows aimed at young babies have no redeeming qualities that compensate for babies being left alone to watch them. Even educational TV isn't as enriching as playing games, figuring out how a toy works, or having story time with you.
When you read to your young child, focus on the pleasure at hand, not the alphabetical learning experience. An early emphasis on teaching letters, sounds, and syllables can sap the enjoyment right out of story time.
If you read to your child enough, she'll eventually—when she's ready—make the connection between the sounds of words and the letters on the pages. In the meantime, teaching her to enjoy reading is a much more valuable lesson than nailing phonics at an early age.
The interaction you have with your child is the key to making the most out of reading. Help your child make connections in the story and associations in real life.
For example, if there's a yellow ball in the book you're reading, point to the red ball he likes to play with and ask him a question: "Do you like the yellow ball or the red ball best?" Go ahead and tell him the answer for now: "I think you like the red ball better than the yellow ball because you can play with it."
Before you know it, he'll surprise you with his own answer!

easy-going world-traveller, currently based in Brussels.
We had a lovely stay in this nice apartment. Chris is a very nice host, and i'd go back to his place anytime.
It was my first visit to Brussels and the wonderful accommodation of Chris is one of the reasons that I always want to come back. I really enjoyed being in the tasteful apartment, I felt at home. It's a pity that there was just a little opportunity to talk to the host, then at the next time.
Davvero complimenti a Chris ed Eduardo x la loro ospitalità e disponibilità... Persone eccellenti! Un posto bellissimo e ben collegato con la metro, e se non avete voglia di andare in centro ogni sera a 100 metri c'è la piazza di Saint Gilles piena di localini dove fare aperitivo, cenare o farsi qualche birra!
My friend and I had a great,quiet,comfortable stay, thanks to wonderful hosts Chris and Eduardo:) The room was spacious and more close to a hotel room than a rental room. The house was also very close to the city center and stations. Brussels was wonderful and a day trip to Brugges was fantastic! Thanks to Chris & Eduardo for great hospitality!
Très bonne accueil, chambre très convenable, propre, localisation parfaite et proche de l'accès métro & gare. Hôtes très sympathiques et disponibles.
Wow what a beautiful apartment. Clean room and a lot of space. The neighborhood is great too with a lot of nice cafés and vintage/second hand shops. We booked the room for one night to stay after a concert in vorst nationaal.
My first BNB experience was superb thanks to my lovely hosts Chris and Eduardo and their very beautifull apartment.
I highly recommend their place for any one looking for a relaxed setting and a very lively area close to all attractions in Brussels.
Thank you guys. Hope to c u soon
It was our 1st airbnb experience and I'm pleased to say that from now on no more hotels. Chris & Eduardo are wonderful and caring hosts and their flat is perfectly located, both close to Midi station and the city centre. Really recommend it!
Chris and Eduardo's place is great, and they were very nice and hospitable. The apartment is big and very clean, and the room is well located at the back of the apartment close to the toilet and bathroom which is good for everyone's privacy. The location is very good; just a short walk from the Midi station and very close to a Metro station that will get you to the Grand Place and the center of Brussels in no time (although I usually walked it). I highly recommend their place.
Chris and Eduardo's place was AMAZING! What a breath of fresh air for our short visit to Brussels. They were great at communicating and were flexible with our arrival time.
The place was immaculate! So clean and lovely. They were helpful but also respected our privacy. Great place and we highly recommend their wonderful and spacious apartment. Would love to stay again!
great guest.
Christos was a excellent guest. He´s a friendly person and the apartment was very clean.
Cristos y su amigo, han sido estupendos muy simpaticos y amables y muy educados, han dejado todo muy recojido y ordenados, yo si volvieran por casa lo acojeria sin ninguna duda.
Christos y su acompañante son muy educados y muy agradables. Ha sido muy poco tiempo con ellos, me hubiera gustado compartir más tiempo. Han dejado todo muy ordenado y muy limpio. Ha sido muy fácil compartir con ellos una noche.- Muy recomendable su compañía.-
Chris was a great guest, quiet, cheerful and very polite. No problems whatsoever. I will be very happy to have him again.
Chis and Eduardo,
They're great guest, every fun, clean and reables. We had a special season, 'cause they are incredible persons and right like a guest. We have many praises and good recommend then.
I had an accident with my eyes and he was so helpful and attentive.
During his stay we could have a fun so much in the Carnival and we discovered they are a great friends. Congratulations!

AFTER nearly 15 years, Kathie and Martin Thackray have found the right people to take over their business, Island Charters Narooma.
Chris and Cecilia Smith saw the business advertised for sale on the internet and moved over from Sweden to check it out.
Chris is an Aussie and Cecilia is Swedish. They met in Western Australia but had been living in Cecilia's hometown for the last six years.
Her Swedish hometown is very similar to Narooma with about the same population and a couple of satellite suburbs.
But it is not on the coast and Chris especially was missing being on the water.
Island Charters Narooma seemed a perfect business and an ideal town.
Chris has spent heaps of time on boats over the years. He has done fishing, both commercial and a lot of recreation diving. As well as working at "Horizontal Waterfall" on the West Coast.
They decided to lease the business for the year to see how it went and how they settled into the community.
Chris arrived in September and Cecilia and the boys followed at the end of January because they needed to finalise things in Sweden.
Cecilia is a registered nurse specialising in aged care and is hoping to find a part-time work.
Young Jonathan is 5 and began his schooling in kindergarten this year at Narooma Primary School.
Jacob is 4 and is enjoying a couple of days a week at the day care in Dalmeny. Both the boys arrived with very limited English but are now chattering away happily.
The family has made many new friends and love our beautiful town so decided to not wait out the lease but bring forward the purchase date. Island Charters Narooma changed hands earlier this month!
Kathie and Martin enjoyed their time running the business and had many loyal customers.
They loved chatting with them and sharing our "bit of paradise" with visitors from around the world - whether fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling, whale watching or, in the last two years, taking people out to enjoy Montague Island.
Martin said: "It is a bit sad, but retirement calls. It is time for younger blood to take over."
They both wish Chris and Cecilia all the very best in their new venture.
Chris and Cecilia are looking forward to running Island Charters Narooma and will with happy smiles provide the same excellent service as customers are used to.
Island Charters Narooma is still "the Ocean Adventure Specialists" – catering for small groups of up to 12.

Stop aging in its tracks: Beauty tips to try today
SIGNS OF AGING: Skin changes are the most visible sign of aging. Obvious signs of aging include wrinkles and sagging skin. Skin changes are related to genetic makeup, environmental factors, nutrition, and other factors. The greatest factor though is sun exposure. This can be seen by comparing areas of your body that have regular sun exposure with areas that are protected from sunlight. Natural pigments provide some protection against sun-induced skin damage. For example, blue-eyed, fair-skinned people show more aging skin changes than people with darker, more heavily pigmented skin.
AGING CHANGES: As you age the outer skin layer thins, even though the number of cell layers remains unchanged. The number of pigment-containing cells decreases, but the remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin thus appears thinner, more pale, and clear. Those who have large pigmented spots (often called age spots, liver spots, or lentigos) become apparent in sun exposure. Also, the blood vessels of the dermis become more fragile, resulting in bruising, bleeding under the skin. Finally, sweat glands produce less sweat and make it harder to keep cool, putting you at an increased risk for becoming overheated or developing heat stroke. Growths such as skin tags, warts, and other blemishes are also more common in older people. (Source: www.nlm.nih.gov).
WAYS TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK: Aging can have many implications on your skin. For example, since your skin is thinner as you age it can cause breaks or tears, or blood vessels can burst. However, most people are more concerned with their skin's appearance as they age. Retinoic Acid is a nutrient that that body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. A form of all-trans retinoic acid made in the laboratory is put on the skin to treat conditions such as acne and is taken by mouth to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia. Skin creams that contain retinoic acid help reduce the appearance of wrinkles (Source: www.rocskincare.com, www.news-medical.net).
You can also try natural alternatives like Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne. It represents a natural combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids. A recent study at Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine, shows that supplementing 75 milligrams of pycnogenol a day for 12 weeks increased production of a compound that makes skin smooth by 44%. (Source: Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, www.pycnogenol.com).
FOODS TO EAT: Some foods can help your skin look younger. Spinach contains lutein, just four ounces can increase skin elasticity by 38%. Also vegetables and fruits give skin a glow better than a suntan.

Not a "swimming" beach, although one mile in either direction will put you in a lovely beach with beautiful water to swim in. The resort has a well kept pool and hot tub, as well as exercise room.

I have always been one part in love with glow in the dark and one part scared of it. The scared part comes from childhood whenever I had a glow-in-the-dark object in my room. When I went to sleep at night, I'd always have to turn the other way cause the glow object creeped me out and kept me up at night. Luckily, I've grown out of those feelings. LOL. I now know the glow object can not come after me or haunt me by looking at it. Also, another factor as to why I love glow is because my fiancé William LOVES it. He has all kinds of cool glow stuff, blacklights, powders, paints, etc. He recently even made glow rocks for his fish tank, which are pretty awesome! They don't hold a blacklight to my glow-in-the-dark ornaments (sorry honey) though. Anyway, I digress. Here's how you make your own glow pumpkin sure to haunt you all Halloween long!!!
You only need 4 things to make this project...
– Tulip Glow in the Dark Dimensional paint in color of your choice
(l used natural glow cause I wanted my pumpkin to be tone on tone during day)
– White pumpkin (I like white cause it glows brighter and the paint bounces nicely off it)
– White paint
Start off by basecoating your white pumpkin with an even brighter white acrylic paint. Again, the brighter white your pumpkin is, the more luminescent it will be when charged! Please note, I basecoated this pumpkin while riding in the car. Pumpkin crafting does not stop just because I have things to do and places to go.
That's it. Here's a fun little comparison of what the glow pumpkin looks like when the lights are on and when the lights are off. Note, I charged my pumpkin to full potential using a blacklight for the lights off photo. The charge will last several minutes. Simply hit it with a bright light or black light to charge it up again.
Here's a close up detail of the doodles. Mine line work isn't perfect, but I still think it turned out cute. I love the swirl on the stem top!!
I'll try to add a nice pic of it during daylight hours tomorrow. I'm a night owl, so it's hard to get nice pics at nice that don't look all yellow!
So do you like Glow-in-the-Dark??? I'd love to know your thoughts!
Until next time Swellions!

It's ok… a message brought to you by me.
I am spending some much needed time in my art journal lately. Trying to process. Trying to prettyfy some stuff that happens.
Here is a page I made today (it was already dark, I may take a better picture *or not*):
On the other side of the spread is a sketch of a Nixie, Just a sketch... no shading, no color. And I did not know if I wanted the two pages to be separated or a spread. I still don't know actually.
It says:
It's ok..:
to be mad
to be sad
to wanna give up sometimes
to feel like today is the worst one in your life
to have big hope and small dreams
to scream at the top of your lungs just to LET it GO
to smile when you feel like breaking down
to join your hands in a prayer to Whoever would just listen to you
to cry and ask for help
It's ok to have and express whatever emotion pass through you
(it just means you're alive)
If I am sharing this page with you, it's only because I feel like I was just the tool for the message. The channel so people could read these words. So people could know it is ok to feel whatever they feel.
I am struggling with my emotions right now. Not understanding them. Not being successful in processing them the way I wish I would. And I guess someone may feel the same somewhere and that this «permission slip» would reach someone who needed it.
My mantra for 2012
As I was saying last year, I don't really like taking resolutions anymore. But I do like have goals to meet when the new year begins.
This is all over the cyberweb, this trand of finding/chosing a word to define your year to come. I see mine as a personal mantra, a line of conduct, sometimes I can turn to when I feel lost and don't really know in which direction to go.
This year, my mantra is a verb. I feel it like someone whispering or yelling it (kinda) at me when needed.
Expand my horizons. Expand my practice, spiritual and artistic. Expand Inner Worlds even further... and I don't know what yet.
I have this gut feeling that 2012 holds a lot of deep changes. Positive ones. With some waves because without them, the ride would not be as fun, right ? A turning point. Something that will shift the rest of my life, and of my family's.
I am currently working hard on a secret project. Something I've never done before. It has been whispered to me before, suggested by friends and strangers, and was downwright told it very insistently by Angels while my Angel Attunement. It's clear: I can't deny anymore that this is something I have to do and stop being afraid of the what if-s..... Too many coincidences pushing me this way.
This is the first step in following my mantra...
Do you have a word for 2012 ? What is it about ? Tell me all about it ;)
21 Secrets is now officially open to registration !!!
I can't believe we are actually January 2nd already.
It means that 21 Secrets is officially open to registration today.

Journaling your (he)art out, my 21 Secrets class
Hello Hello !
How was your week-end ?It may sound weird but usually, I enjoy Mondays. Just because they imply a new week, filled with possibilities.
I am so happy to announce you my workshop title and description for the 21 Secrets playground that will happen in 2012. And I was in awe with all my camarades' workshops: it will be fantabulous. A lot of media, healing and techniques, a pure diversity. It makes me feel even more blessed to be part of it.
Here are all the 21 descriptions:
Turn "I don't know what to draw" into " I need a bigger journal!". Drawing is a great tool for untangling and expressing every emotion from the heaviest burden to floating-way-above-cloud-nine. But you have to get that infernal inner-critic behind bars, to allow your natural drawing talent the security and confidence to roam freely. In Frolicaholic we learn to love our lines!
throw them down by flinging
some paint, creating a colorful
piece, containing a bit of ourself.
inner self to allow the creative
a creative spread.
your thoughts out and a creative
flow going. using a book spread
or just a simple sheet of water
color paper. to make a page
the beauty of this is that
later new pages can be added
as your stories come later.
channeling it girl is all about getting
those juices moving and opening
up the flow, allowing yourself to play.
I kept a BIG secret from you (about teaching and Art Journaling)

21 Secrets is a bunch of workshops focusing around Art Journaling, created and hosted by Connie (from DirtyFootprints Studio).

The playground registrations will be open on January 2nd 2012, it will officially open in April, until January 2013.
We will be 21 teachers, each of us sharing a secret about our Art Journaling process. For only $59. Yes, you read it right: 21 workshops gathered in the same place for that price.

(sorry, I am just pretty much excited by all this. And intimidated. And scared because it will be my first online class ever.)
Will I see you there ?

Missouri Vs Arkansas 2014: A Friday Or Saturday Affair?
August 21st, 2013 12:40 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Arkansas, Missouri
Tags: Arkansas Missouri, Auburn Alabama, Black Friday, CBS, LSU, SEC, TV
Well, here's an interesting little twist to today's 2014 SEC schedule release — Arkansas and Missouri don't seem to agree on when their season-ending game will actually be played.
On Mizzou's official website, the Arkansas game in Columbia will be played on Friday, November 28th:
But on the Razorbacks' official site, the game is scheduled for Saturday, November 29th:
So what does the SEC have to say about this one? They list it as a Saturday, November 29th game:
Missouri clearly wants the added exposure that a day-after-Thanksgiving game can bring. Recruits are at home watching television on that day. Arkansas officials know this, too, as they've enjoyed the Black Friday publicity they've received on numerous occasions by playing LSU on that date.
While the SEC has confirmed that their date is correct, we'll go ahead and guess that the Arkansas/Missouri game will eventually wind up being played on Friday the 28th rather than on Saturday the 29th. Unless CBS decides it would rather move another SEC game to Black Friday. Auburn/Alabama, Mississippi State/Ole Miss and Tennessee/Vanderbilt are the other choices. CBS did carry the Iron Bowl on Black Friday in 2009 and 2010 before switching back to Arkansas/LSU in 2011.
But we see no reason why Arkansas or Missouri would not want to separate their game from the rest of the pack that will be played on the following day. If the SEC's television partners will allow it.

North Sea Canyon (by David.S.L)
(via on-wings-of-salvation)
The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for.
—Tucker Max, Assholes Finish First (via hefuckin)
(Source: larmoyante, via on-wings-of-salvation)
"When he was dying, I said: 'Moe, how am I going to live without you?' He answered: 'Take the love you have for me, and spread it around."
(via cvrtana)
[Article excerpt]
Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.
Originally appeared in the September 2003 issue
In the picture, he departs from this earth like an arrow. Although he has not chosen his fate, he appears to have, in his last instants of life, embraced it. If he were not falling, he might very well be flying. He appears relaxed, hurtling through the air. He appears comfortable in the grip of unimaginable motion. He does not appear intimidated by gravity's divine suction or by what awaits him. His arms are by his side, only slightly outriggered. His left leg is bent at the knee, almost casually. His white shirt, or jacket, or frock, is billowing free of his black pants. His black high-tops are still on his feet. In all the other pictures, the people who did what he did — who jumped — appear to be struggling against horrific discrepancies of scale. They are made puny by the backdrop of the towers, which loom like colossi, and then by the event itself. Some of them are shirtless; their shoes fly off as they flail and fall; they look confused, as though trying to swim down the side of a mountain. The man in the picture, by contrast, is perfectly vertical, and so is in accord with the lines of the buildings behind him. He splits them, bisects them: Everything to the left of him in the picture is the North Tower; everything to the right, the South. Though oblivious to the geometric balance he has achieved, he is the essential element in the creation of a new flag, a banner composed entirely of steel bars shining in the sun. Some people who look at the picture see stoicism, willpower, a portrait of resignation; others see something else — something discordant and therefore terrible: freedom. There is something almost rebellious in the man's posture, as though once faced with the inevitability of death, he decided to get on with it; as though he were a missile, a spear, bent on attaining his own end. He is, fifteen seconds past 9:41 a.m. EST, the moment the picture is taken, in the clutches of pure physics, accelerating at a rate of thirty-two feet per second squared. He will soon be traveling at upwards of 150 miles per hour, and he is upside down. In the picture, he is frozen; in his life outside the frame, he drops and keeps dropping until he disappears.

Looking for someone to share coffee, an adventure, and some good deep conversations with.

It was the day before Easter. She had been calm all day. Taking care of last minute details, tending to family, making sure everything was perfect. She simply glowed, and she was enjoying every minute. She got into her dress, put on her shoes and jewelry, and applied that last minute dab of makeup. She stood in front of the mirror, seeing herself as a bride for the first time. The smile widened. Her thoughts turned to Daniel, just on the other side of the wall, waiting to see her for the first time. Then the tears started to come. She tried to hold them back with a tissue, but the emotion broke free. She was going to be married, and she would soon lay eyes on the love of her life. Her heart simply could not hold it in.
Outside, Daniel stood with his hands eagerly clasped and his back to the door. He could not stop smiling as he bounced from foot to foot impatiently. He turned to me and asked, "Can I kiss her?" I assured him that this moment was just for him and Cara, and he could do and say whatever came to his heart and felt natural. Ignore everything else. I stood back as Cara approached. She took a deep breath and walked up behind him. When he turned, their eyes met, and they melted. They smiled, they whispered, they laughed. Cara held back her tears. Daniel could not stop kissing her. They were ready. They were ready to begin their life together.
Cara and Daniel both began the day getting ready at the church. As the setup was being completed, they were surrounded by family and friends as they prepared themselves for the most important day of their lives.
Cara and Daniel chose to see each other before the ceremony. They both knew they would be emotional, and they wanted to share this moment privately. I love it when a couple chooses a First Look!
Daniel beamed when he saw Cara, and he could not stop kissing her. It was such a beautiful, heartfelt moment!
Cara and Daniel rented a limo to carry them and their wedding party around for three hours, taking photos. I was overjoyed when I heard the plan! I love it when a couple takes the time to plan out their photos for the day, and we had plenty of time to get the photos they wanted. Because their wedding party was such a big part of their day, I'm posting more photos than I usually do!
We started at Shelby Farms, and had fun roaming the park.
We made sure to make time to get portraits of Cara and Daniel as well. Cara, you are absolutely, positively STUNNING!
Daniel, you're not half bad either. He was so happy all day, that it was so easy to get some relaxed portraits!
We ended the ride at Opera Memphis so that we could get a couple shots at the reception site before guests arrived. Cara used the extra time for a hair transformation before the ceremony, then it was back to the church for showtime!
I just loved how the church windows echoed Cara and Daniel's wedding colors perfectly.
Cara's sister did a pretty good job of holding in her tears during the ceremony, but she had to let go afterwards. Ed captured this shot, and it's my favorite of his from the entire day!
Opera Memphis is an awesome venue for a reception, and it had that perfect contemporary vibe that Cara and Daniel were going for. Club Windward did an amazing job with the decor.
Cara and Daniel danced the night away, surrounded by those closest to them.
Cara and Daniel, thank you so much for the honor of capturing your emotion-filled day. You are perfect for each other, and I know you have many years of happiness ahead of you! Enjoy Mexico!
