(ANTIWAR) After capturing the Syrian city of al-Bab from ISIS, Turkish officials made it clear that the next military target was the city of Manbij, along the Euphrates River. Manbij was captured last year from ISIS by the Kurdish YPG, with considerable US military support.
Turkey had long insisted that Kurds aren't allowed west of the river, where Manbij is, and the Obama Administration had assured Turkey that the Kurds would eventually withdraw from the city. They never did, and a deal between Syria and the YPG to cede nearby villages to the Syrian military aimed to block Turkish forces from advancing on the city. Now, US troops are joining in.
Pentagon officials say that a "small number" of US forces are being deployed to Manbij as "a visible sign of deterrence" aimed at preventing Turkey and the Kurds from fighting one another. Turkey hasn't responded to the news, but is likely to be furious, as the deployment is inside Kurdish territory, and blocking their planned invasion.
The US has long faced the problem of being closely allied to the YPG in Syria, while Turkey, a NATO member, openly declares them a terrorist organization, and promises military attacks on them. The US seems to believe that direct deployments putting them in the way of the fighting would help, but it remains to be seen whether this will actually prevent Turkey's attacks, or just shift them to different Kurdish territory.

The Discovery Farms program is a farmer-led effort to gather field-scale water quality information on different types of farms across Minnesota. The three pillars of the program are farmer leadership, credible research, and communicating results.
This project was part of a three-state partnership to test, demonstrate and promote a simple, inexpensive and reliable new system for edge-of-field water monitoring. The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Pioneer Farm, in collaboration with UW-Platteville Engineering, has developed a low cost monitoring system that can obtain good quality, edge-of-field monitoring data in agricultural settings. By eliminating unnecessary features and assembling components in-house, the prototype monitoring system derives the majority of cost savings with minimal sacrifice in accuracy.

Carbon Trust Standard Enables SMEs to Show Green Credentials
Businesses can demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon emissions, using an independent and credible means, following the launch of a new 'green' Standard by the Carbon Trust. Firms will only qualify for the Standard if they have reduced their carbon footprint over a continued period and intend to reduce it further. They will not be able to achieve the standard just by offsetting their emissions. To achieve the Standard, small businesses will need to present historic data from the past year or two years, depending on their size. The Carbon Trust Standard is the first of its kind that requires an organisation to measure, manage and reduce its carbon footprint and make real reductions year-on-year. "What businesses and consumers share is a desire for one, credible wa... »

Muscles – 'Chocolate, Raspberry, Lemon & Lime'
Yes, another track from our leading trance revivalist. I hope this Muscles will outlast the Klaxons in the neo-trance movement. His MySpace blog reveals that he will be taking a break from performing live after February while he reworks his live show. He did mention to me earlier that he wants to have a live band eventually to back him up. I kind of like the idea of the one man band, he would work so sweet in the middle of a club, or better yet a stadium rave! Complete with fairy lights, strobe and police lights! Anyway, you better catch him live in his last few remaining one man shows.

ProjectFast-moving consumer goods and inclusive business in Tunisia
Project context
Food and beverages, along with products for as personal care, household cleansing material, are part of the so-called fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market. As a sector characterized by low margins and high volumes, the majority of FMCG products only requires a low spending power.
The sector plays an important role in the Tunisian economy: Despite limited purchasing power of Tunisia's 6 million low-income customers, their FMCG market segment is considerable, with Tunisians spending on average 36 percent of their income on food alone. The FMCG industry has many touch points with low-income groups: the food industry often sources from smallholder farmers, distribution relies on micro-entrepreneurs that sell products in rural areas, and some companies design their products to specifically address the needs of low-income groups.
Project objective
Endeva's research presents a baseline assessment and value chain analysis of the fast-moving consumer goods sector for low-income groups in Tunisia with a focus on edible goods. It aims to understand where and how low-income groups are integrated into the companies' value chains and how inclusive business models are shaped. The report thus will offer a starting point for the further development of inclusive business models within the FMCG sector in Tunisia.
Project results
In Tunisia, the concept of inclusive business is not yet known as such. While especially the concept of social entrepreneurship has seen a momentum as an instrument to tackle large development gaps, the ecosystem to support these kind of activities is still at a nascent stage. Although FMCG products are widely affordable and available, the level of inclusion of low-income groups into the supply chain of FMCG companies is mostly limited to sourcing from smallholder farmers. On the demand side, FMCG companies that aim to continue doing well have a culture that promotes using customer insights to create the next generation of products: this also calls for a better inclusion of the large low-income group as customers.

The PST: LA/LA exhibition Coastal/Border at the Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro is comprised of a series of performances and installations focused on the coastal region's status not only as a port of entry, but also as a border. These have included Edgar Fabián Frías's "Give Us Home Spider," which overlaid sacred journeys undertaken by the Wixarika people onto Southern California trade routes; Jimena Sarno's "from sea to shining sea (FSTSS)," a site-specific choir performance which responded to the area's military history; and Dany Naierman's "Port Capa," a multi-media installation which unearthed the site's layered history through a faux-field trip, puppetry, and video.
This Sunday, artist and dancer Sebastian Hernandez will stage the exhibition's closing performance, "FTZ (Foreign/Free Trade Zone)." The research-based work will investigate through movement and sound San Pedro's history as a major international sea port, and the effect that the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had on LA, specifically brown and queer communities.
When: Sunday, December 17, 1pm
Where: Angels Gate Cultural Center (3601 S. Gaffey St., San Pedro, California)

Going Down On The Queen of Minneapolis - Freshwater Theatre
Or: The Final Voyage of Nokomis Construction. The employees of a failing construction company are trapped on a party boat. Forced to face their ridiculous demons, together they decide whether to sink or swim.
The Queen of Minneapolis is a charter ship. A ship going down, that can be figurative as well as literal. A forced company outing to foster "togetherness" quickly devolves into the usual office politics. A large number of characters are swiftly introduced in this preview. I enjoy the work of a lot of people in the cast, and also like Ruth Virkus' work as a playwright. In addition, I'm fond of Freshwater Theatre's mission in general, nurturing new work of all stripes. So while this kind of thing normally might not be my cup of tea, I trust the artists involved to put an original spin on it. They're not even asking for "a three hour tour" just one hour. What could go wrong?

Your shopping basket is empty!
A range of scrubber driers for the professional commercial cleaner. Scrubber driers (also called Scrubber Dryers by some manufacturers) are used to clean hard floor areas quickly and effectively with the minimum of fuss and effort required from the operator. By applying a solution of water and specialist scrubber drier detergents, the scrub deck of the scrubber drier uses a high speed scrubber drier brush or floor pad to then scrub the scrubber drier detergent on the floor before sucking up the dirty water and detergent into an onboard tank for emptying later. This process leaves floors exceptionally clean, safe to walk on immediately after cleaning, is far more effective than a conventional mop and bucket, saving both time and effort. Ideal for use around a garage, workshop, large public area, shopping centre, warehouse, school, college, hospital or care facility. Scrubber Driers are available as mains powered machines (110 or 240 Volt) or battery powered machines using the very latest gel and lithium ion battery technologies.

Grayson vs. Grayson: Solo Nightwing in Live Action Webseries
In 2006, I got an email from a friend. The subject line read something like 'HOLY FUCKING RED HOT SHITBALLZ!!!!!11!!!!' There was no message, no preamble; just a YouTube link. Hoping vaguely I wasn't about to see a trailer for 'GOATSE: THE MOTION PICTURE', I clicked, and was rewarded with this a longish trailer for an amazing vanity project called 'Grayson.' The trailer set a world where Dick Grayson was grown, retired with a family, and Bruce Wayne continued his one man war on crime until somebody put a slug in him. The plot seemed to follow Grayson as he came out of retirement to find who murdered Batman, with strong implications that it was a huge conspiracy involving pretty much everyone in the DC Universe. It smelled a lot like 'The Dark Knight Returns' with a nice twist. The trailer never went beyond YouTube, there was never a Kickstarter or any other fundraising campaign (Jesus, was 2006 that long ago??), and today 'Grayson' sits on YouTube as a testament to Untamed Media's passion and talent -- but not much else.
Yesterday, another 'Grayson' came along. This time, as 'Grayson: Earth One', a project helmed by a talented creator by the name of Hisonni Johnson, who has taken the idea of Dick Grayson's coming of age a step further. This time, it's as a serial webseries, chronicling a very Nightwing-esque Grayson in a Gotham City that never had a Batman. It's an interesting premise. CW has turned 'Arrow' into a compelling, watchable series that successfully juggles well-choreographed action, DC canon (sprinkled with liberal retconning), and telenovela hijinks. It's proof that there is an audience for 'comic book TV' that balances television's conventions with comic book dorks' continuity zeal. So going that route with a property like 'Grayson' makes total sense.
The 16-minute pilot is up now. Production values, stuntwork, fight choreography, acting -- they're very good for an indie production of this scale. The script works, the characters Hisonni has added or altered to this version of Gotham work really well. I'm a little shaky on the premise: who would Dick Grayson be without Batman? What would that world look like? Is Nightwing compelling without that backstory? The pilot sells me on the possibility. That's a victory in itself.
'Grayson: Earth One' is on YouTube now and an IndieGoGo campaign running right now. If you like the premise, I strongly recommend you support the project, and bring Hisonni Johnson's vision to it's full potential.

Happy 1st Birthday to Miley Ash.
Cliche as it sounds... it really feels like she was JUST born. (What a fast year it has been.)
Smiley Miley surely fits her name. She makes me laugh as she always has a smile on her face. Miley could totally be hurt, mad or whatever & still muster a smile. It's super funny.
Miley is walking good & tries to keep up with all her older siblings & cousins. Seeing so many boys around wrestling, she likes to join in & is a little tomboy. Whenever she sees Jaxson, she literally tries to eat him. She'll spot him from a mile away & her mouth drools.
(March '09)
She reminds me of Jax in this one..maybe it's the cheeks.

Where did I leave us? Oh, yeah. Right there.
I'd had just enough credit on my phone to try and go through the long process of saying 'yeah, it's okay, it's me, and I'd run out during the helpful bank listing things I'd paid and cash I'd taken. Incomplete, but I had given passwords on a multiple choice basis. Incomplete, though, so I was concerned when I came off the toll road at Le Mans.
Of course, had a human been involved they might ave though something along the lines of "Oh, look, he booked the Channel Tunnel with the card so he's likely to be in France then, isn't he? No worries." But no. No human involved and the usual mess for software.
Okay, so I'm just off the toll road, just off a roundabout, in an paligano... I mean industrial estate, or whatever you habitually call this kind of area. No gas station in sight, no ATM in sight, but I'm stopped, parked, thinking. It's raining some so it's jacket on and a quick walk about to see without stress what the signs say and try and figure out my next move. Still no gas station and no ATM, both of which I want even though I suspect both will be useless to me. But one thing at a time, right?
I toy with the idea of walking further to investigate but decide, sod it, I'll drive but short exploratory moves. In short, all plans aside, I follow my nose. Back onto what I suspect is a ringroad(ish) kind of thing and then off again by instinct. A little ways through more paligano, then stop, pause think. Hmmm, nothing looks good here, so back the way I came and there's a way under the ringroad. Instinct again, yes. Then a road up to a Restaurant and again, instinct, yes. I'm sure going to have to talk to someone and get directions and this will do nicely.
The guy behind the bar has some English, which is handy as my French is so bad as to be useless. I express my desire for an ATM and gas station in the same place. "Ocean," he says, emphatically. "Shopping centre," or words to that effect. A Mall, in other words. Just the job, I think as I try and interpret his pointing figure. Roughly the way I was going before I came into the Restaurant. Yay. I hope it's not far as I've no idea what fuel is left in the Cherokee (it runs for ages on empty but it already has, so.... who knows?).
I drop back down to the road, follow the way I was going round a corner. More Paligano. A roundabout and I decide I'll go straight on, intuition again. And another one. Same same. And there it is. "Auchen" it says in big bold letters tacked on the side of a Mall. There's a gas station and a big carpark so I nod and sigh to myself and park up.
I'm not leaving here without gas.
No matter what happens. I'm no stuck with what I have available right here. ATM. Gas Station. It aint gunna get any better. Stay put. Solve the problem here.
But I'm cautiously pessimistic (not optimistic, truly) as I wonder into the Mall and look around for an ATM and find one and find... use of this card is suspended.
Ok, good. Now I need a phone. I have five bucks in my pocket in change (no idea why, I just do. I guess I must have bought something other than gas with cash but I have no idea what at this point and sure don't remember now). The phones I find are no cash card only type phones. Perfect.
Sit around and wait for someone to call me and see how things are doing? It is to laugh. That could be days. No cash, no water, no food, no shelter but the Jeep. And boredom boredom boredom ... nope. Not liking that idea.
Well, I have five bucks so maybe I can get some credit on my phone. Nope. I knew that but it was worth a try. Same company but nope, we can't charge a foreign phone here, even if we are the same company (thanks Orange, you're so cool I could drop you in a vodka and be happy). I have a Spanish chip I used a few months ago but... it has no credit on it either. So, more trogging up and down. More thinking. I need credit on my phone, contact with the outside world. What are the alternatives? Abandon the Jeep and start walking? Head for where? Paris, maybe where I can find the Consulate maybe and get repatriated to an airport probably with no cash to call anyone so it would be a long walk from the airport to somewhere useful.... and I don't like this idea. It isn't a solution as I'd have to re-jig money and come get the jeep and continue.
In any case, I'm lucky. I have my laptop and when I spot a small sign saying Free WiFi I know I'm in with a shout. I have a bad battery in the laptop but there just might be time to send one email if I can get into the system fast, into my emails fast and write and send fast. Maybe.
Big sigh. In some parts of the world free wifi all over is taken for granted, but not here. Relief and despondency and swearing are the order of events. Close. Real close. But no cigar. Yet... this is the answer. I need somewhere to plug into power and keep the laptop juiced and send out an SOS
There's a cafe and I wonder in, waving the plug and asking if there's a socket I can use. The guy is cool about it and points one out with a 'hell yes, of course, no worries' air that I like very much. Problem solved, bar the waiting. I sit and send out some SOS's of the 'hey, can someone please put some credit on my phone so I can get this dumb thing sorted?'
I also get into my online banking page, find who to bitch to and bitch away. Phone twice, fraud prevention squad, because you don;t know what's happening on the end of the phone and this is your customer who could be in any situation and you know what the first rule of business is? Don't try and kill your customers. Don't put hem at risk. They don't much like it as a rule. Asshats.
I also think they might get the message (action required section(s) is filed in No.1 "Reactivate my card. NOW!" But what happens first is some credit kindly put on my phone by a well loved family member. Yay. I call the fraud squad. They fix it. Card works. Double yay!
The gas station only takes credit cards (not my sole debit card) and there won;t be anyone to take cash until the next morning, nine hours away. Booo.
But I have cash ... that I dare not spend because I'm doing this on a shoestring budget and I'm still in northern France and unsure I have enough funds available for gas to get there. In fact, I rather doubt it.
Turns out my doubts are justified and I don't, but that's to tell another day. I'll leave it there for now.

When President Trump talked publicly about his frustrations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, some were outraged. But is this not what we voted for? Transparency and honesty.
Instead of hiding behind closed doors and pretending everything is going perfectly, which is simply an unrealistic expectation for anything or anyone in life, President Trump is being transparent and honest with the American people. He is doing exactly what we had the expectation that he would do when we voted for him.
Let's look at Attorney General Sessions specifically. The reality remains, unless there is something we don't know about, which I don't believe there is, Attorney General Sessions should not have recused himself over reported incidental contacts with Russian officials.
President Trump is frustrated with the situation with Attorney General Sessions. I understand why. On top of that, President Trump's honesty about his current frustrations has helped to bring subjects to the forefront that seemed to be previously brushed under the rug. Case in point: the Hillary Clinton investigation.
33,000 missing emails from a destroyed home server that was located in Hillary Clinton's personal house in New York when she was secretary of state for the United States of America. I don't think I even need to tell you how clear it is that the Clinton investigation was never given proper attention by the Justice Department.
The point President Trump is trying to make in many of his tweets about this in relationship to the Russia investigation is that there is still no evidence against him in this Russia investigation, but they continue to dig and dig and dig. Meanwhile, the investigation into Mrs. Clinton's actions were largely ignored. There was no special counsel, despite the media circus and clear mishandling of the investigation.
Imagine if they did the type of digging on Mrs. Clinton, someone on whom there is much evidence against, as they are doing on President Trump, someone on whom there is no evidence against to date. I think we'd be having a much different conversation.
The lack of a Clinton investigation reopening doesn't mean Attorney General Sessions hasn't been doing a great job in other areas of his job, including going after MS13 and sanctuary cities, which is why I feel President Trump has a tough decision to make moving forward regarding the continued employment of Attorney General Sessions.
At the very least, however, this all should raise questions: questions about Washington, questions about Attorney General Sessions and questions about the future of this nation.

The Dorchester Goes To Bollywood
Engaging with over 400 wedding guests is an epic challenge. Not least because the spectacle we had in mind featured not one, but two lavish sets…in the same suite, one after the other! But we love a challenge. And the hosts fell in love with our Bollywood production.
The Event
Venue…The Dorchester. Occasion…one of the biggest Indian wedding receptions Britain has ever seen. Brief…capture the hearts, minds and imaginations of 420 guests including celebrities, politicians and a galaxy of Bollywood's biggest, brightest stars.
Act 1. The Dorchester's main ballroom transformed into a mesmerising display of floral decoration, echoing the breathtaking beauty of Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles and capturing the magical moment, frozen in time, in Jean-Honore Fragonard's magnificent 18th century masterpiece, The Swing.
Act 2. Move over 12-piece band, step back Bollywood guests, as the backdrop to the ballroom melts away to reveal a VIP-themed Night Club…complete with spectacular mood lighting, a neon-drenched bar and a top DJ to play long, long into the night.
The Reaction
"The quality of the Silverfox planning, and the professionalism of their team…it was simply the best!" —Anooshe Mussarat

Songs For Little Folks
Benson Sound Studio
This blog features the many gospel albums I find. 90% of the records featured here were created by local Cincinnati, Ohio area artists (on Jewel, Rite and Queen City record labels among others). Here you will find the Good, Bad & Ugly but never The Lackluster! If there are copyright issues or a problem with any post, just contact me and I will make corrections. I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!
Believe it or not I remember having this album when I was a kid and singing one of their songs in a pageant. I don't recall the name of the song, but it some of the lyrics were "There are two ways you can wear a smile, just listen it will be worth while, now you can wear a smile all upside down, but don't be surprised if it looks like a frown" (yes I remember all the lyrics....40+ years later.ReplyDelete

Melanchthon, Philipp (1497 - 1560)
There are books for online reading by Melanchthon, Philipp on this page. Also you can read a biography of Melanchthon, Philipp.
Philipp Melanchthon (February 16, 1497 – April 19, 1560), born Philipp Schwartzerdt, was a German reformer, collaborator with Martin Luther, the first systematic theologian of the Protestant Reformation, intellectual leader of the Lutheran Reformation, and an influential designer of educational systems. He stands next to Luther and Calvin as a reformer, theologian, and molder of Protestantism. As much as Luther, he is the primary founder of Lutheranism[1]. They both denounced what they saw as the exaggerated cult of the saints, justification by works, and the coercion of the conscience in the sacrament of penance that nevertheless could not offer certainty of salvation....

Where's my message? What are you doing? Why are you ignoring me?
Bloggers trying to please each other
I had been thinking of my posts as assignments. Essays. With a theme; a message; a topic. If I couldn't come up with something great I should just ruminate until something happened worth writing about. I started thinking that my
So. I still want my blog post to be the best thing you've read all day. If everything goes my way and you've only read the local newspaper and a cereal box that morning, I might hit the mark. Otherwise, maybe my blog will just say that I'm still here, waving at you over the interwebz.
Today we've had about five kinds of weather. It's sprinkled, poured, hailed, thundered and lightning-ed. It's been sunny. Cloudy. Cold. We've had rainbows. There was wind. Over and over. The only thing we didn't have was heat, and this town makes up for that in the summer when its hot night and day for weeks and weeks.
The view from my front porch
Yesterday the rain held off until after my appointment at the oral surgeon--oh, you thought I was finished with that? I am not. Why, just two days ago he pared some wayward lumpy gum tissue off the spots where my new implants will go. I've been waiting, unable to bite, since September to finally get my teeth but naturally at the last minute Dr P decided I needed a temporary set for a few more weeks, lucky me, so my gums could fill in obligingly and look natural and not freaky, which I am sorry to report, they do. I begged for some input into the appearance of these temporary teeth but Dr P just scoffed. The lab would make them look great! Better than that ugly space holder (denture) I've worn for six months. As you have correctly guessed, this was not the case. Not great. Not better. Worse. Horrifying. I look like a hungry vampire. These teeth are short and square and their tall neighbors loom threateningly on either side like a close-up of Dracula. But in typical nightmare fashion, I have no choice but to wear this wolfish face for two months. And pay cash; this is all extra.
My hair looks dark, don't you think?
Dr Z is the boss of the permanent implants. When it's finally time to decide how those will look, I'm insisting on some creative control. Dr N (I know an awful lot of dentists) loaned me books and walked me through the process of crafting my smile; armed with my new knowledge we'll pave the path to a lovely trio of permanent implants. It reminds me of when my house was being built and I dropped by every day to check up on the contractor and subs and force them to change all the things they'd built that day, flagrantly ignoring the plans, my careful instructions, or building codes. I kept telling myself that they didn't have to like me (they complied with that part) but this was MY life savings and they had better get it right. And for the most part, they did. The dental situation is kind of the same: It's a lot of money, and I have to live with it, and like it, for the rest of my life.
So much for a quick hello. Oops. Hello!

The BTCC is the pinnacle of British Motorsport and draws crowds of more than 20,000 to the circuits, and TV audiences into the millions.
Its a summer tradition with Eurowerks to watch the BTCC and we've all got our favourite teams and drivers which, can lead to some heated debates after the door bashing on track has long stopped.
With Oulton Park being our home and local circuit it'll be rude not to venture down for a day of high octane motorsport action whilst, having a nosey around the paddock at the machinery close up.
Being predominantly VW and Audi car fans it was good to see the likes of the Audi S3, VW CC, competing against the likes of the new BMW 3 Series and Mercedes A – Class.
It wasn't the greatest watching the crash of Jack Goff in race two and seeing his VW CC looking very sorry for itself but thankfully Jack was fine. Unfortuntely, the car was too badly damaged to compete in race 3.

1. Three questions your clients will ask themselves about you.
– Do you care about me?
– Can I trust you?
– Can you help me?
If your clients can answer yes to all three of these questions, you have won their heart, and they will follow you.
2. Go back to the basics
Gary Keller states in his book "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" that Real Estate is all about 3 things. Leads, Listings and Leverage.
Get real with yourself. Everyone of our 260 agents have the ability to handle an incoming call from a customer asking if they could sell their house, or help them buy one. But not everyone in our industry can initiate a lead.
Are you a natural (or want to be a) Lead generator? Or are you a Lead receiver? This industry needs both types to operate effectively. We need the "Hunters" and the "Skinners". If you love to lead generate then you should be building a team. If you are a lead receiver, you should be on a team.
– Listings maximize your time and dollar per-hour compensation
– Every listing could bring 4 more pieces of business
– Listings create top of mind positioning in neighbourhoods
– It is easier to have 10 listings a month than to have 10 Buyers
– Most top teams are Listing based
When you leverage the right listings, people, systems, technology, database CRM you can dramatically increase the number of homes you sell. The secret is to build a team that can run the system, and then you stay in your unique ability of listing homes, negotiating contracts, removing conditions, and setting the vision for your business.
3. Understand the business language of Real Estate
Numbers speak. They tell you if you are on track to hit your goals.
The numbers we need to track begin with number of leads, number of appointments, numbers of contracts signed, number of units sold and number of closed units. From these numbers we can track how we are doing by benchmarking to the industry. Your local board or national body will publish results every month. How are you doing compared to those numbers?
Which of the following states are you in?
-Decline- production falling year over year
-Static- about the same year over year
-Marginal- slight increase year over year
-Growth- a 20% increase year over year
-Multiplier- 20-50% growth
-Accelerator- Doubling your production
4. Get to know your clients better
It's about them, not you. When your client succeeds at a really high level, so do you!
What do they need right now from you? What are they thinking about? What keeps them up at night? What would be a dream come true experience for them right now? What is the one thing that you could do to "blow them away" right now?
5. Its all about your mindset.
90% of real estate is mindset. In fact, I believe that building a great real estate practice is about your own personal development. Personal development leads to Business development. What can you do internally, to get others attracted to you externally?
We are all energy. Negative energy attracts negative energy and people. Positive mindset and energy attracts great and positive people. You are who you attract. Momentum in this business is everything. When you have it you look better than you are. when you don't have it you look worse than you are. Great momentum causes deals to "fall on your lap", lack of momentum causues every deal you are working on to fall apart.
Great mindset + Great skills and knowledge + Great energy = Great clients and an awesome business.
Glenn McQueenie

Set the Tone – Pick up some festive plates or get creative with one of these fall displays for your home (we especially love the acorns in the glass column). Lighting a fall scented candle can also immediately put guests in a festive mood.
Create a Seasonal Cocktail (or 2) – Signature cocktails easily elevate an event from a gathering to a party! Consider a this simple yet amazing vanilla pumpkin pie martini for the ladies and some autumn flavored ale for the gentlemen attending. Here's a top 10 list of pumpkin beers to point you in the right direction!
Surprise Appetizers – Who doesn't love an out of the ordinary appetizer?! Soup shooters are one of the easiest unconventional appetizers. We suggest this seasonal roasted carrot soup served in fun colored coffee or demitasse cups. The soup is warming, has a festive fall flavor and is even orange.
Pot Luck – It might sound old fashioned, but having each guest or couple bringing a component of the meal has tremendous upside (especially if they're good cooks). You as the hostess get to focus on details like decorating or a fabulous cocktail instead of being overwhelmed…and your guests get to bring something that shows off their talents. It's a good idea to create a theme so the recipes gel into a meal.
Pears – Pears are in season and make an outstanding end to any meal. Consider serving simple poached pears with vanilla ice cream or a pear tart with caramelized pistachios.
Whatever you decide to make, taking time to enjoy Fall with friend and family will end well.
Do you have a favorite Fall entertaining idea you'd like to share with our readers? We'd love for you to leave a comment.

29. That Stanley Kubrick was killed for the making of Eyes Wide Shut. There are lots of conspiracies revolved around Kubrick, but this is definitely the creepiest one. He died something like 3 days after the films release.
30. Honestly the most terrifying would be flat earth.
Literally everything we know about modern science is totally out the window and there actually is some impossibly powerful cabal that can keep that tight a lid over the truth.
31. Viruses evolve quickly but not fast enough to produce a new strain of flu every year. The flu is actually carefully created, reviewed and distributed by the government to steer human evolution forward through 'mandatory windows updates' to our genetic software.

The report on June 28 ("More seniors back in school") showcased several inspiring seniors enrolled in university programmes.
However, a more meaningful discussion to spark is that of how the landscape of informal venues for education is evolving and how inclusiveness in this area can be supported.
Many seniors, especially those who have retired, do try to remain active in the community and their homes; it is in these settings that the environment for learning should be examined, because improvements would benefit a substantial group of seniors.
In the community, various activities have been made increasingly available and affordable at community clubs, to engage senior residents. As a grassroots leader, I have witnessed some of the successes of these activities.
However, it is in the context of family and friends where scrutiny and introspection are required.
My maternal grandmother recently recounted how she had taught a friend the term "escalator", in place of the more dramatic "electric ladder".
This story got me thinking about how much we, young or old, could learn from our peers and also our family, provided the environment is conducive for such learning - for instance, an environment where criticism is constructive, where one does not take offence at being corrected or taught, and where we can laugh about our shortcomings.
When we were young, our parents created as optimal an environment as they could for us to learn our most fundamental skills. It is only reasonable that we reciprocate such acts with patience and kindness when our parents grow older and need guidance.

S, age 4 and a half, is about as literate as one can be without being able to read. Many of her favorites are the types of early readers generally associated with first-ish graders, like the Frog and Toad and Little Bear series; she just listens instead of sounding out the words, at least for the moment. She's an engaged listener when adults read aloud to her, often offering instructions on just how scarily to read about the Dark Frog today. She also follows along when she listens to both series on CD, and I imagine the transition to literally reading these books will be virtually seamless. Her comprehension is clear; she often pretends to be the characters she's read about or uses their expressions ("Never better!") correctly in conversation.
S particularly impressed me this evening when she told me the story of Wolf's Coming, by Joe Kulka. I wasn't familiar with the book, and in fact just identified it now through the magic of Google, but I'm pretty sure I heard it word-for-word, complete with expression, sound effects, and pauses in the right places.
Now that's reading readiness.

All posts tagged: dress
Just yes
Scratch yesterday's dress shall we? Because this one from Arket just screams 'You will wear me for years and years to come.'
Yes or no
Let me start by saying that of my last 5 Zara orders I kept exactly zero pieces. It was just that bad. And so I actually went into the store last week to see if that would help: seeing the clothes with my own two eyes first and trying them on then and there.
Colour debate
It says on the website the colour of this fab looking dress is dark green. Now, I hate it when this happens: on the photo it really looks more like, I don't know, teal maybe? Which to me is on the blue spectrum. Only way to find out is by actually ordering it, as there is now no longer a Massimo Dutti brick & mortar store in my hometown. Argh!
Wish list
I looooooove the look of this dress but here is the thing: my experience with Arket is that it can be very much
High street pick
This looks like a really great dress for the party season: blue velvet but with a decent length skirt.
Just in
I ordered this as a back-up dress for a special occasion that takes place today and fell in love with it the minute I put it on.
The investment piece
Nope, not going to buy this, unless it shows up as a sales item with a hefty discount, but is this not just one of those dresses to get years and years of wear out of?
Just in
So before I start on this lovely dress purchase (on sale now!) from & Other Stories I want to 'bitch' a little about shopping at brick & mortar shops these days. I ordered this dress online as with most of my stuff now, because long lines at fitting rooms and snotty staff are just too much to handle for me, not to mention the fact I get actual panick attacks when it gets really crowded in town.

Final sheet properties and web runnability are virtually dependent on the stability of the dry solid flows that make up the blended furnish, the fiber quality developed in refining, and the addition of fillers and chemicals in the right amounts.
Measurements and controls for furnish management ensure the functional properties of the sheet are maintained on-spec during steady state operation and during production changes. Papermakers manage furnish quality changes quickly, smoothly, with minimun waste. A consistent furnish forms and drains predictability, stabilizing quality and improving runnability.
Fiber Image Analyzer
New technology, increased measurement capacity, ease of use and improved connectivity.
Valmet's development of consistency transmitters is based on over 40 years of experience
Fiber Furnish Analyzer
Valmet Fiber Furnish Analyzer (Valmet MAP Q) provides paper, board, and tissue makers with fast and precise online updates of key fiber and papermaking furnish properties. It represents the state of the art in online fiber analysis, building upon continuous advancements by Valmet over the past forty years.
Pulp Expert
An automatic pulp laboratory analyzer with more than 220 deliveries and with decades of Valmet's experience, knowledge, and close cooperation with customers in the pulp and paper industry.
Valmet MAP puts Jujo Thermal on the right track to improved refiner control
Jujo Thermal, a subsidiary of Nippon Paper Industries situated in Kauttua southwest Finland, is one of the world's leading suppliers of durable direct thermal papers for labels, tickets & tags and point-of-sales use. The mill operates two paper machines with two off machine coaters and three winders to produce 80,000 tons of paper per year of which more than 95% is exported. As part of its continuous improvement efforts the mill recently installed a Valmet Pulp Analyzer (Valmet MAP) to gain a better understanding of refiner operation and improve pulp quality to PM1.
Valmet MAP shows the route to better refiner management
The Pankaboard mill, located in Lieksa, Eastern Finland, is a world leader in the production of high thickness folding boxboards and uncoated cartonboards for packaging, various graphical and industrial applications and food service products. Continuous product development and new innovations employed by the mill have ensured that the products from their two distinctly different board machines, BM2 and BM3, always fulfill specific customer needs. As part of this philosophy, Pankaboard recently installed a Valmet Pulp Analyzer (Valmet MAP) to help provide better refiner control of the multiple furnishes to the board machines.

On Thursday 3rd December, we held our 20th ALNS Awards Evening in the school hall! This is the evening to celebrate our students' amazing achievements throughout last year and we were delighted to be joined by our founding Headteacher, Mrs Dianne Smith, as our guest speaker who took us all on a trip down memory lane, telling us entertaining stories of the early days of Admiral Lord Nelson School. It was lovely to see her joy that, as a school community, we are still living up to the motto that she created for us …. 'Dare to Dream, Aim to Achieve'!
Congratulations to all the students who received awards, to the superb performers who entertained us so magnificently and thanks to all the staff who worked so hard to organise this celebration event! I was very proud indeed and reminded of what a tremendous privilege it is to be your Headteacher!
Mrs Hardingham

Hello Stampers! We are freezing here in Southern California – it's been in the 50's and 60's and as low as 30's and 40's in the morning…brrr. Hope you are warm and healthy. We are just not accustomed to this cold weather!
I have a very cute card for you today. It's the Waterfall Card some of you are familiar with and our Sale-A-Bration Pandas.
See the little white tab at the bottom? Just give that a little tug and the next Panda will appear.
Sorry about the smudge…Tip: If you use Archival Basic Black be sure to let it dry thoroughly.
Here's the next one.
And the next…
We made this card in my classes and at first the ladies thought they would never be able to do it. In the end…EVERYONE was successful!
You want directions…right! Here you go.
Card Stock: Base – 4″ x 5 1/4″; Strip – 1″ x 4″; (cut 4) 2″ x 2″
DSP: 3 3/4″ x 5″
Whisper White: 2″ x 9″ (score at 2″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/4″); (cut 4) 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″; (optional – 3 3/4″ x 5″ for back of card)
- Adhere the DSP to base and optional Whisper White to back, using 1 1/4″ Circle Punch – punch a half circle at the bottom in the center
- Stamp the Whisper White squares and adhere to the cardstock squares
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 2″ x 9″ Whisper White strip at least 1/2″ from 1st score mark and leave at least 3/4″ from bottom of this strip
- Fold on score lines all in one direction (curving toward the sentiment)
- Adhere the 1″ x 4″ strip ONLY on sides to the base about 1″ from the bottom of base
- Adhere the squares (adhesive ONLY on the top of square) starting at the midway fold ON THE BACK SIDE of the sentiment along the score lines and work your way up putting a square along each fold
- Slide the Whisper White (WW) strip with squares attached through the cardstock strip, center it and line up with bottom, put adhesive on strip but be sure to stay within the boundaries of the WW strip, fold the top half of WW strip (with the squares) over the adhesive laying flat and press.
- You're finished!
It may sound daunting but it really isn't. Give it a try…if you have any problems…contact me.
Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Stamp Sets – Special Celebrations, SAB Party Pandas
Ink – Archival Basic Black
Paper – Tranquil Tide, Fresh Florals DSP, Whisper White
Accessories – 1 1/4″ Circle Punch
Have fun with this card and please let me know what other ideas you have for the four squares…flowers, butterflies, etc. Remember to send me a photo of your creation so that I can post it and feature you as my guest stamper.
In the meantime…Happy Stamping! Donna

Are you looking for something to do on Valentine's day? While this might not make the "Top 10 date list ideas" for V-day, this is definitely an event you might want to consider joining during the day (while looking forward to your date night!).
Here's the information:
EVENT TIME AND DATE: Thursday, February 14, 2013, 2:00-3:00 PM ET/11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT
Are Books Your Brand? How Libraries Can Stay Relevant to Readers
The core mission of libraries – providing books for readers – is as relevant today as it was years ago. In fact, it's what people overwhelmingly identify as THE reason for libraries. Formats might change, and library patrons might only visit the library virtually, but the library is still the place where readers go to find books. Libraries should embrace this role in their communities – and become "Centers for Readers." But how?
The panel will discuss:
- Shifts in how people are using the library
- Examples of successful library programs and services for readers
- Strategies and tools for engaging communities of readers
Robin Nesbitt – Technical Services Director, Columbus Metropolitan Library
Duncan Smith – Vice President, NoveList
Barry Trott – Digital Services Director, Williamsburg Regional Library
Laurel Tarulli – Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University


text: Looks like the end of next week will be our peak depth for the season and then we begin the slow melt with just 6 weeks left of the season. Should be up around 2m for Falls and Hotham and a bit over for Perisher and Thredbo. Still a great cover for September and will easily make it through to closing weekend so September school holidays definitely an option this year.

I have always wondered why Muslim jihadist 'martyrs' desperately want 72 virgins as part of their reward in heaven. And now in the wake of their savage Paris slaughter of journalists and others at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine I think I have finally figured it out.
The reason such men want virgins is because they can't stand criticism.
And their punishment should be having to satisfy a Jewish wife. Because we all know what a Jewish American Princess says during climax:
'I think I'll paint the ceiling beige…'
And we all know what a JAP does with her asshole every morning…
Sends him to work!
Yet what we apparently don't know is what makes these jihadists feel so impotent… feel so over-circumcised. After all, guys like me and the rest of my over-circumcised Jewish landsmen have obviously gotten over it. As well as most of our other taboos.
I mean, hell, these days we Yids drink like Russians and screw like Irishmen.
Hmm… Or is that supposed to be the other way around?
What these despicable, vile, vermin – not only those assholes in Paris, or the douche bags at the Boston Marathon, or the 'allahu akbar' rapists of school girls in Nigeria, or the dickless head choppers in Darfur, or the camel humpers in Afghanistan and Iraq – don't seem to garner is the function of criticism and free speech.
And that is: They are the best weapons against al Qaeda, Boko Haram and any other such extremism and tyranny.
Because the greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism. Criticism is the witty nuclear booms of intellectual weaponry – especially when it delivers humiliation. It levels the playing field to keep the society open.
And in case you didn't know why people demand freedom of speech, I'll tell you: It is compensation for freedom of thought which we seldom use.
Just for a rare moment let me put it to you more poignantly. And perhaps the thought will provide you a moment of immaculate reception. Ah-hem:
It is the function of free speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
Hmm… Now dat be some deep shit.
Okay, I've said it. Now let me hear you roar and slap your knee – even if you can't see your knees and toes no mo'.
I know – Irrational fears!
Now that's a bloody joke, isn't it? Irrational fears in an irrational world… with thin-skinned people too stoopeed to laugh at themselves from the shadows.
But of course!
Everybody with two-eyes and a nose should recognize that to criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous. But to criticize their religion… now that is a right. That is a freedom. No one and nothing is above criticism. And that includes Judaism, Christianity, Mormonism, Buddhism, Hinduism… and particularly Islam – because obviously it needs more character.
And a much better sense of humor. Take it from the Jews – laughter really is the best medicine.
Hmm… But I digress.
What I really wanna do here is SCREAM!!! I really wanna roar that blood-curdling squeal of a man who is just one anti-depression pill away from going postal in his birthday suit. Someone who suddenly discovers that a semi-automatic howitzer and a 4-hour Viagra erection is just a start.
It's not that I think I am right… I KNOW I am right. You don't kill somebody because they disagree with you. You kill them because they are stooooopeed! There ain't no cure for stoooopeed. And you definitely don't want them to propagate – unless you can eat them.
There are way too many stoooopeed people who think they've got an absolute right to do little more than piss and shit, watch football and drink beer like they suddenly discovered it ain't just for breakfast anymore.
Hmm… Doesn't the new year already seem old and too familiar?
But of course, bad news never arrives at a good time. Even when you're drunk. At least for me. Because it is so sobering. And on my constrained budget I hate wasting a good buzz. Because the next morning I can't quite figure if I am feeling bad from a hangover… or just badly hung over the shitty news backing up the port-a-john.
Gee… the things you gotta think about when that early-morning spotlight is glowering like last night's haughty lesbian bartender who suddenly grew a dick about me refusing to even consider having sex with men.
"I wish I could," I told her. "But I couldn't have anal sex with people I respect."
And then after I paid my bill and tipped her much better than the man-hating-female-canine deserved for barely fetching me a few beers, she bellowed that it was good that I was leaving because she was about to throw my 'homophobic' ass out.
And you wonder why I feel I've wasted my backhand on tennis all these years.
Apparently I haven't quite figured a lot of stuff out yet. But I do know that the holidays are finally retreating with my year-long interest-free credit cards that are now assaulting me with 22% rates. My landlord is still promising to fulfill at least the major 8 move-in punch-list items that are now 19 months old. My 94-year-old mother and her two brand new heart stents were hauled back into the hospital to get zapped with a defibrillator. The Palestinians are decidedly winning the war on who is the biggest asshole. That is, except for the Republicans who are now revving their anti-Obama engines on low-price gasoline. Nobody has bothered to find those 300 prepubescent school girls still missing in Nigeria. Darfur has taken a turn for the hearse. Russia's Putin is searching his long-johns for his next hostile takeover…
And the latest is that a couple of pusillanimous scum-brothers savagely killed all those journalists and other folks at that satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Their punishment should be a good old-fashion pig-f-king, followed by crucifixion. And this time bring enough nails so they don't have to cross their legs.
So welcome to the bloody damn new year. Apparently our prayers for peace on earth, good will towards men have gone unanswered — for yet another trip around the sun.
Nothing ever really changes, does it? And nothing is really ever what it seems. Because once you get passed the perfumed smiles and pearly whites what you've got is a bunch of bad people who don't care what the hell they are thinking – only that YOU are wrong.
Hmm… You know, good people may sleep better, but bad people seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.
I don't know what we're (especially me) is supposed to do about all this craziness and stoopeedity. The UN is about as worthless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end nor protects it from biting insects. I'd say we need the Yahweh of the Old Testament to inflict the fear of G-d. But the only thing feared in America these days are white cops, black guys in hoodies and NFL referees who can't see pass interference by the Dallas secondary.
Hell, even the President, who can't see his way to the Republican side of the aisle, saw it.
I guess I just need to sit back, drink more and watch a lot of porno. At least in them everybody seems to be enjoying themselves and getting off — no matter how they are getting f-ked.
And dats yDrewIS on dis penal colony…
