Vegan Brownie Love Puddings
Just a little love for this Valentines Day.
Despite the fact that these cacao puddings are vegan, my beloved adored this baked gift. Though I shouldn't be surprised, he's developed a preference for nut-based flours instead of the white stuff, regularly requesting my chocolate beetroot quinoa cake and happily chowing down on coconut flour pancakes. We both love classic goods, don't get me wrong, and I have a stellar buttermilk pancake recipe coming your way made with copious amounts of wheat flour and butter and happiness. But we tend to agree that delighting in more wholesome treats made with dates instead of sugar, almonds instead of flour and raw cacao instead of highly processed chocolate makes us feel lighter, more energetic and more loved. So this Valentines Day, I made us some vegan brownie love puddings, and we had ourselves a lovely, sweet date. I gave a speech (what's new?) on how much I adore Ben and how happy he makes me, and then we dove into these vegan brownie love puddings, topped with blood plums and a side of coconut whipped cream. I cannot decide whether I prefer them baked or raw (I made both for comparison's sake), so I encourage you to go with your mood and perhaps climate. Ben preferred both. And I love that about him.
Happy Valentines Day, sweet readers.
Vegan Brownie Love Puddings
Serves 2
* Note: you can serve these cooked or raw. In the above picture the cooked pudding is on the left, it's slightly risen and lighter in colour, with a nice fudgey brownie-like texture. The raw pudding tastes like brownie batter and is more of a mousse consistency. For the raw version, leave out the baking powder and serve in whatever sized dish you desire.
1/2 cup raw, unsalted Almonds
5 pitted Medjool Dates (~90g pitted weight)
2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
2 tablespoons Almond or Coconut Milk (or cow's milk, which would make this non-vegan)
2 heaped tablespoons Raw Cacao Powder
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder (you can skip this if eating the pudding raw)
A pinch of Sea Salt
To serve: coconut whipped cream and sliced blood plums or berries
1. Preheat your oven to 180degrees Celsius.
2. Blitz the almonds in a food processor until fine (some lumps are fine, this will just mean a more textured bite).
3. Add the dates to the food processor and blitz until very finely chopped.
4. Add the liquid coconut oil (warm it in a pan if it's solid), milk, cacao, baking powder and salt, then blitz until mixed.
5. Grease your ramekins (10.5cm in diameter) with a little coconut oil and then scoop the pudding mixture into them. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon that is slightly moist, then pop into the oven and bake for 15-20minutes until warm and slightly risen and cooked to you liking (you can undercook it and have a more gooey pudding).
6. Serve with your toppings and enjoy!

Hollywood's whitewashing epidemic continues with the casting of Charlie Hunnam in American Drug Lord. The Sons of Anarchy actor will tackle the role of Edgar Valdez Villarreal, a notorious Mexican-American drug lord whose story was told in a 2011 Rolling Stone profile.
Villarreal is often called "La Barbie" because of his blonde hair, blue eyes, and skin complexion, which may be the reason Legendary Pictures selected Hunnam for the role. However, selecting a white English dude to play a Texas native involved in the Mexican drug cartel is just another example of Hollywood's diversity problem.
April Reign, the creator of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag, told the Los Angeles Times that movie studios must be open-minded when choosing actors.
"From the very start, don't just assume that a white man or woman can play a particular role," the activist said. "Open your minds to exploring the same film with a different person."
This close-minded approach to casting has led to major criticism directed at Hollywood's movie studios. Backlash came in droves after Ridley Scott cast Christian Bale as Moses in Exodus: Gods and Kings. Both men were forced to respond to the whitewashing allegations. The 78-year-old director told Variety that Hollywood wouldn't have offered the $140 million to make the film if it starred "Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such."
That's a large part of the problem. Opportunities are limited for actors of color if only white actors are considered bankable.
Time and time again, Hollywood proves it doesn't get the importance of diversity. Just add Mexican Drug Lord to that list.

A history that is renewed minute after minute.
In 1842 Raimondo Gobbi, a lover of horology, opened his workshop in Modena, under the Loggia of the Collegio San Carlo. The business was carried on with such competence and commitment that already ten years later, in 1852, the Grand Duke allowed him to boast of the qualification "Clockmaker to the Royal Court". At the time the sales and assistance regarded pocket watches and pendulum clocks. His youngest son, Giuseppe, helped with his technical skills to develop the firm and in 1896 he moved to Milan, opening a workshop in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. His granddaughter Adriana married Luigi Pozzolini, of Tuscan origin, an enterprising representative of clock brands, who took over the management. The great-grandsons Aldo and Gastone worked in the business from the early 1930s onwards, making the shop a leader in Italy in sales of Swiss clocks and watches and later adding goldsmithing and jewellery.
The first workshop was destroyed during the last war. On 4 September 1949 the current shop was inaugurated, and still today it has the original furnishings of the time. On the upper floor there is also an assistance laboratory. Currently the business is managed by Luca Pozzolini Gobbi, Gastone's son, and by his daughter Serena.
With more than 170 years of history, the GOBBI firm can today affirm with pride that it has served its customers' families for six generations, remaining always faithful to the principle of never sacrificing quality for ephemeral successes and ensuring always the maximum seriousness and competence, in the conviction that behind a top-quality clock or watch there are not only perfect mechanisms, but also a service just as precise and punctual.

This dynamic young ballet troupe is made up of professional dancers most of whom trained in Russia at the Bolshoi and Kirov Academies.
The political and economic changes in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union caused severe problems. Artistes who had been employed by the state lost their incomes and the outlook was bleak.
In 1998 a group of dancers arrived in Britain seeking better opportunities. The company began its life in Bristol under the leadership of Mikhail Vorona, a former lead dancer himself, but rapidly having to learn new skills as a company director.
In September 1999, thanks to the vision and generosity of the City & County of Swansea, the company took up residence in the magnificent Grand Theatre, Swansea.
Ballet Russe takes ballet to a broad cross-section of venues ranging from theatres and school halls to outdoor stages. They expertly adapt their dances to the space available, performing in places where an audience would not normally have the opportunity to see Classical Ballet of this calibre.
The company is able to put on full-length performances of 'Giselle', 'Nutcracker' 'Coppelia', La Fille Mal Gard?©e and Swan Lake incorporating talented young dancers from local ballet schools when required. Gala performances are also given including extracts from classical ballet such as Swan Lake, Bayadere, Carnival of Venice, Don Quixote, Le Corsaire and many others. Cinderella will shortly be added to the repertoire.
The company is playing a major role in the resurgence of interest in classical ballet throughout Britain and also in Europe where their tours have been enthusiastically appreciated.

Pafos Paphos or Pathos
Confused - How to Pronounce or Write Pafos?
There are two ways of commonly spelling Paphos: Paphos or Pafos. The correct way today is Pafos but either is fine although to cover all possibilities, we use both throughout our web site. Confused? There's more. In addition, some non-Cypriot folks pronounce it Pathos, which is not correct. Pafos/Paphos is pronounced with an 'F', Pafos. Then again, if you can make yourselves understood in a foreign language, it does not matter too much.......... how you pronounce it. But it is annoyiing when I hear people say Pafos with 'th' - Pathos. No No No No PAFOS is with an 'F' or 'PH'
PAFOS OR PAPHOS - I suppose if your name is Philip or Philippa or Freddie and folks call you - THillip or THilippa or THreddie it could be A) really annoying and B) you would have to assume those folks are either dumb, ignorent or lacking social gracees. Enough, I guess.
Aphrodite - Goddess of Love from Pafos
Paphos is the home of marvellous archaeological treasures. Ancient legend tells us that this was the home of Aphrodite, Goddess of love and beauty. Situated on the southwest coast of the island and sheltered from the north by the Troodos mountains, Pafos enjoys the healthiest year-round climate in the Mediterranean.
Rural Pafos
The countryside is serenely beautiful throughout the year with fertile plains, citrus fruit plantations, rocky coves, sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Pafos harbour, with its ancient castle, mosaics depicting Dionysos the God of wine, as well as many other wonderful antiques, beautiful churches and monasteries, has prompted UNESCO to include Pafos on its World Cultural Heritage List.
Modern Day Pafos
Today, Pafos is a thriving coastal city. The authorities have invested heavily in irrigation dams, road infrastructure and the development of Pafos International Airport, while private initiatives have concentrated on hotels, entertainments, water parks and a vast array of real estate property for sale.
The Beauty of Pafos
Some interesting facts though on Paphos which will explain, without exception, why Pafos does hold something very special in its chemistry to attract so many purchasers to buy property. There are currently more than 15,000 expatriates living permanently in their own homes in Paphos where the local population is around 40,000 Cypriots! Paphos is not everyone's dream home, but the math's make us realize that the west coast of Cyprus is truly a special place to purchase property and live. It is our favourite location in Cyprus.
There are many historical places of interest to visit whilst in Paphos Cyprus such as:
Tombs of The Kings - Wide area containing underground tombs carved out of solid rock dating from the 4th century BC, many decorated with Doric pillars. Whether Kings were buried here or not, the magnificence of the tombs gave the area its name.
The Mosaics of Paphos - House of Dionysos, House of Theseus and the recently excavated House of Aion. The amazing mosaic floors of these 3rd century AD noblemen's villas are considered among the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean. They mostly depict scenes from Greek mythology and are beautifully executed.
Paphos Odeon - A small 2nd century Odeon built entirely of well-hewn limestone blocks. It was uncovered by the Cyprus Department of Antiquities in 1973-4 and is now regularly used for musical and theatrical performances.
Paphos Castle - Kato Paphos. Originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the harbour, it was rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century and then dismantled in 1570 by the Venetians, who were unable to defend it against the Ottomans who, in turn, restored it after they captured the island.

"You realise you could just man up and kick her out if you really wanted to, don't you?"
At first glance, Yrma seems ready to try to position herself just as Kate Middleton's Better. Fair amount of brass for someone with a swampier background than the decidedly monied middle class future queen of the UK. Madam does not disappoint at grand occasions where she is the clear outlier of the royal mob! For someone who does not speak more than two languages (and arguably not either one very well!), it was a hoot to see La Comtesse de Sandy Bay trying to sing along in French during the ceremony. MoreMore is always off her game (her game being triumphant self-promotion in the Danish sugar press) when she is surrounded by multi-lingual, sophisticated, educated, worldly royals and nobles. But dressing her manly figure in a boring, peplumed burgundy suit and extra heavy felt hat as if she were a 50s housewife heading into town for lunch and shopping felt very Kate-like at the detriment of Yrma's tranny, stick-straight figure.
However, on closer inspection, this wedding may be a turning point in MoreMore's style evolution. With deep wrinkles, wonky eyes, manly figure, pursed lips, no fashion sense, and special brand of stupid, it seems that she has finally conceded that she cannot compete with Maxima's inherent chic, Mathilde's sweet grace, Stéphanie's integrity, Letizia's intelligence or even Mette-Marit's conjugal bliss and so she is playing the Aged Dowager Matron card. Just throw 'em totally off their game. If she can't play as a young, vibrant, sexy, chic, smart, cultured, modern woman, the own the dowdy, doddering old bat with a dashing past life. Mary as Aline, the Countess of Romanones! The nutty relative who thinks she was born to a better station and always shows up in over the top but unstylish clothing, over the top jools and hair that seems to be hiding an American football in its nest (if not also a few of Ingrid's rubies). Will it work or is it a one time thing? She doesn't have the requisite kindness of that dottering old rello, nor does she have an ounce of wisdom. Derf just looks minimal and insignificant in her presence. If the effect was to just diminish him, checkmate. But in fairness, she's been working on that for more than 12 years now.
Poor Guillaume to have to have put up with Crazy Cousins Derf and Yrma who was such a rude bitch to the lovely-mannered Luxembourg heir back in 2009 at the Silver Wedding celebrations for Grand Duke Henri and his wife Maria Teresa. Why don't you learn French, Mares, so you won't actually be left out of the conversation instead of getting mad at your husband and friend for speaking in their common language. Very smart of Guillaume to make sure that Madam and her little husband were diverted in their limo from the airport so as not to make such a screaming scene on the red carpet for the gala. Madam in her full-on, too-tight jezebel gown and ostentatious jools isn't quite comme il faut in conservative, Catholic Luxembourg (red is the sign of the devil), but it does live up to the Duchess of Windsor's mantra that you can never be too rich or too thin. Poor Count Christian de Lannoy, Yrma's table partner and brother to the bride; he is doing a hero's job of keeping a poker face confronted with such a strange site. And for Guillaume and Stephanie to have one of the castle ladies-in-waiting pin Madam's neckline together on her way to church so as not to show as much sternum-décolletage was a smart and sensible move. One has to be resourceful when one is required to invite one's weird Danish cousin and his very scary wife.

Volkswagen is doing quite a bit to expand its family of "hot hatches" on the market. The garden variety Golf spawned the original GTI decades ago, and still lives on to this day. In recent years, the GTI has even gained a diesel variant called the GTD.
Today, the GTI will be joined by yet another variant: the plug-in hybrid electric GTE. German automakers are drawn to complexity for some reason, and the GTE is no exception. The GTE makes use of a turbocharged 1.4-liter TSI engine (whereas most hybrids try to stick with a simple, naturally-aspirated gasoline engine) that pumps out 148hp. A 101hp electric motor pushes total system power to 201hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Adding to the complexity is VAG's six-speed, dual-clutch transmission (most other hybrids use a CVT or a modified automatic transmission to keep things simple).

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Employees' Credit Union (SECU) is pleased to announce a consumer-friendly reverse mortgage designed to help senior members utilize the wealth in their homes in the best manner. Setting it apart from other industry-standard reverse mortgages, the Credit Union loan offers a fixed, stable rate of interest, a simple interest accrual method, a low origination fee of 1%, no mortgage insurance and no monthly service fees!
Many older homeowners have a large amount of equity in their homes but still have a need for more income on a monthly basis to balance their budget. In some cases these homeowners do not qualify for typical home equity loans and need another option in order to stay in their home or help pay for home healthcare. One alternative is a reverse mortgage loan. A reverse mortgage is a loan against a residence to provide cash to assist with living expenses, typically in the form of a lump sum or fixed monthly disbursement to the borrower. Borrowers must be 62 years of age, utilize the home as their primary residence and receive consumer education on the product from a NC certified reverse mortgage counselor.
Phil Greer, Senior Vice President of Loan Administration states, "SECU investigated the reverse mortgage marketplace and we saw numerous opportunities to provide this important product to our members, reducing the typical costs being assessed. Through reduced fees, a fixed rate of interest and a simple interest accrual method, we will provide the member with an enhanced use of their equity. This will result in more funds being made available to the member in order to assist with their day-to-day living expenses. The features of the SECU reverse mortgage are very consistent with our 'Do the Right Thing' philosophy."
SECU sought assistance from various senior-affiliated organizations in designing a beneficial reverse mortgage product. To provide additional guidance and financial education on reverse mortgages, SECU also published a booklet for members to learn about the product. The booklet is available via the SECU website at www.ncsecu.org.
Mary Reca Todd, Manager of Supportive Housing for the NC Housing Finance Agency, comments on the helpfulness of certified counselors, "A reverse mortgage can be a useful financial option for some older homeowners who need to supplement their retirement income to help pay for essential needs. Since each homeowner's situation is unique and reverse mortgages differ significantly in payment options and fees, it is important to receive face-to-face counseling with a certified reverse mortgage counselor prior to applying for a loan. Certified reverse mortgage counselors in North Carolina are trained to provide consumers with information on reverse mortgage products and other services available to older adults that will help them make informed financial decisions."
Mark Pearce, Deputy Commissioner of Banks for the State of North Carolina, adds, "If you are considering a reverse mortgage, you should shop around and talk to a counselor to make sure you are getting the product that is right for you. Reverse mortgages are complex products and choosing the wrong one can cost you thousands of dollars and even possibly your home."
Ed Regan, Executive Director of the NC Retired Governmental Employees' Association, remarks, "Seniors in the market for this type of product can be extremely vulnerable. There are media ads promising 'too good to be true' products that are ultimately not in the best interest of the borrower. Consumer education is crucial in making sure the older population does not fall victim to what could become the next frontier for mortgage scams. We are pleased SECU has developed a consumer-friendly product to assist NC's retired state employees."
Jerrie J. Lattimore, Administrator of the Department of Commerce's North Carolina Credit Union Division, reinforces, "I strongly encourage all North Carolinians considering a reverse mortgage to investigate the available options, consult with family members and compare products in the marketplace."
About SECU
SECU is a non-profit financial cooperative owned by its members. SECU has been providing the employees of the State of North Carolina and their families with consumer financial services for over 70 years. Currently serving more than 1.4 million members, SECU provides services through 218 branch offices, 980 ATMs, two call centers and a website—www.ncsecu.org.

Smart antennas, which are essentially adaptive array antennas coupled with intelligent signal processing have emerged as an important category of systems capable of providing solution to this problem. Neural networks are also being widely used for developing intelligent systems and influencing signal processing in communication systems. A decision directed approach is proposed for blind adaptation of smart antenna system using a complex neural estimation of parameters for beamforming. The paper presents a simulation study of the decision directed smart antenna system with neural estimation (DDSA-NE) for multi-quadrature amplitude modulated (M-QAM) signal environment with 4, 16, and 64 constellations. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The analysis is based on the relevant data for 31-year period (1970-2000) for four major meteorological stations in the region. The determination of the proper order of the Markov chain that best describes the rainfall pattern is an interesting problem and Bayesian information criterion has been used for the purpose. Bayesian information criterion (BIC) reveals that third order Markov chain model best describes the rainfall pattern in general except for one station. This is verified and it is found that third/fourth order chain simulates the observed data more closely than the chains of other orders using the classical goodness of fit test. The time independent behaviour of the chain has also been studied with the help of steady state probabilities. The theoretical and observed values of the mean recurrence time have been found to be in close agreement. </smarttagtype></smarttagtype> Page(s): 39-44 2010-02-01T00:00:00Z Extreme value analysis of summer monsoon rainfall over Andhra Pradesh Sarma, A A L N Kumar, T V Lakshmi Rao, K Koteswara http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/7389 2010-02-17T16:30:29Z 2010-02-01T00:00:00Z Title: Extreme value analysis of summer monsoon rainfall over Andhra Pradesh Authors: Sarma, A A L N; Kumar, T V Lakshmi; Rao, K Koteswara Abstract: The years of excess and deficit of all Andhra Pradesh summer monsoon rainfall (APSMR) are subjected to extreme statistic analysis in the context of one of the signals of the global teleconnections, namely El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and La Nina Southern Oscillation (LNSO) to understand its regional implications in terms of the associated size or level of a T-year event.

VPD at different spatial and temporal resolution over regional and local scale has been estimated. The methodology of estimating VPD is based on simple linear relationship between saturation vapour pressure and land surface temperature measurements captured by polar-orbiting satellites. The VPD is evaluated at regional and local scales after comparison with observed weather station data. The estimated VPD is found to be in good agreement with<i style=""> in-situ </i>observations with rms error and bias as 0.79 kPa and 0.23 kPa, respectively. Further, this study has brought out the impact of VPD on vegetation over a period of six years (2003-2008). The higher value of VPD for the year 2004 highlights drought condition while comparing amongst the six-years period (2003-2008). Page(s): 25-31 2010-02-01T00:00:00Z

Children at out of school clubs will be able to enjoy daily craft workshops at the National Coal Mining Museum for England over the summer.
The Overton museum is offering the themed activity sessions for groups - such as scouts, brownies and playschemes - that are running holiday clubs during the school break.
The weekly themes will be linked to the museum's new Heroes and Heroines exhibition and will be looking at the different roles of heroes in the mining industry, from pit nurses to inventors and rescue teams.
The exhibition, which will be on display until December 31, celebrates the extraordinary lives of the heroes and heroines in the industry.
In addition to the new workshops, youngsters will also be able to go 140m underground, go on a nature trail and meet resident pit ponies Eric and Ernie and giant Clydesdale horse Finn.
The education team will be running the sessions from 11am to 11.45am Monday to Friday from July 25 to September 2.
The first week of the holidays will kick off with a everyday heroes theme celebrating miners, pit brow lasses and ponies. Children will be able to make a pit pony puppet, design a trophy and discover more about the heroes and heroines.
Pit nurses and the medical team will be the theme from August 1 to 5, when children will be helped to make a peg doll nurse and to create rescue and medical kits using junk modelling.
The theme will be inventors and inventions of mining, with children encouraged to design their own inventions and to make a lamp, from August 8 to 12.
The bravery of rescue teams will be the theme from August 15 to 19 and 22 to 26, and remembering our heroes and heroines, where children can design their own clay memorial, will run from August 29 to September 2.
The crafts will cost £1 per child, with a minimum charge of £10. The workshops, which must be booked in advance, can cater for up to 30 children. Email email@example.com to book.
Groups that want to take part in an underground tour will have to pay £3 per head refundable deposit for a pit-check.
For information about summer events at the museum, visit www.ncm.org.uk or call 01924 848806.

Bowers: Goodbye Chinese warriors, hello Rembrandt
The Bowers Museum bids adieu today to Qin, the ancient Chinese emperor whose famed posthumous toy collection consisted of rank upon rank of life-size clay soldiers and other figures meant to serve him in the afterlife. "Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor" included about 20 of the clay figures and set a new attendance record at the Santa Ana museum.
So what to do for an encore? Well, the museum has released its schedule of coming exhibitions and the big surprise, for an institution known mainly for displaying artifacts from Asia, Africa, ancient civilizations and native cultures of the Americas is ... a dead, white European male. A really big one too. Come next summer, the Bowers will do Rembrandt.
Not blockbuster Rembrandt -- that would be paintings. This will be modest Rembrandt, a show of 35 etchings the artist made from 1629 to 1654 that has been on tour since 2006 in midsize venues. But if predictions of deep recession or quasi-Depression should come true, it could be all-too-timely Rembrandt, because the sole subject is paupery.
Peter Keller, the Bowers' president, says the museum makes no claims of prescience for having booked "Sordid and Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt's Etchings" well before Wall Street had its seizure (the show's organizer is the L.A.-based Landau Traveling Exhibitions, which culled the images from a private L.A. collector, John Villarino). If displaying an Old Master in a bastion of tribal art and archaeology strikes some as a departure, Keller says, it's consistent with the Bowers' mission, which once specified presenting arts and cultures of the Pacific Rim, Africa and the Americas, but which now simply calls for providing access to "the world's finest arts and cultures."
"We're really expanding our wings," Keller says, and the Bowers' venture into what's traditionally the domain of art museums will continue after the Rembrandt etchings have their July 12-Aug. 23 run.
Opening Sept. 13 will be simultaneous art shows from Latin America: one with paintings and sculpture by the contemporary Colombian artist, Fernando Botero, the other "Latin American Masters," an exhibition of 20th century paintings from the collection of FEMSA, a Mexican beverage corporation.
One of next year's touring exhibitions at the Bowers does fit into its more familiar mold: "Art of the Samurai: Selections from the Tokyo National Museum" (April 18-June 14), will offer armor, weapons, Noh theater costumes and other artifacts and art works dating mainly from the Edo period of 1603-1868.
After charging up to $27 for "Terra Cotta Warriors," Keller foresees no more special admission charges through 2009. "The way the economy is, we'll be sticking to our general admission price," currently $12.

As a novice to the Preacher comic books I only have a rudimentary knowledge of what this is about and what happens. I am probably likely to be in a similar situation as with Game of Thrones where I read the first book in time for the first season to show but then got left behind as the seasons just kept on coming but my reading fell further and further behind. At least with Preacher it should be easier to stay ahead/catch up than with the massive Game of Thrones tomes!
So, starting up I have a good idea of the premise.
Preacher (Jesse Custer) is imbued with the power of a God and finds out that he can do stuff that others can't. And that's about the limit of where I've got to so far (in the comics anyway). What I am waiting for is what is Preacher actually going to do with his new-found powers? Who is he going to use them on? What obstacles is he going to come up against? All questions that will be answered in time.
In the meantime I am going to enjoy this show! And I am enjoying the show!
It is great to look at. Preacher is decked out in his usual attire, all black, which is in start contrast to the environment of Annville which is arid, dry and exceedingly bright. The introduction of Cassidy was an amazing piece of television. Action, blood and more blood. Oh, and a smidgen of diving out of an air plane. Without a parachute! I have a feeling that Cassidy is going to be interesting to watch, never a dull moment.
The other main character from the comics is Tulip, Jesse's ex-girlfriend, force of nature and general law-breaker. She arrives in a whirlwind of action and again, you get the feeling that she isn't going to let Jesse, or the show, get away with being dull.
But this is a show that doesn't reveal all straight away. Nothing is said as to why/how Cassidy has become how he is, or why he was being hunted. Nothing is said as to how Tulip and Jesse know each other more than they worked together and were involved in the past. And nothing is said about Preacher's uncanny ability to make someone make a high pitched noise like a "bunny in a bear trap", although that scene is mighty impressive even if we don't know how he learnt to do that!
By the end of the first episode Preacher has been empowered by the entity, has been re-invigorated, and has used the entities power, maybe inadvertently, on one of his parishioners, Cassidy has moved in, Tulip is trying to get Preacher to join her on another "job". So for a pretty steadily paced episode it has managed to pack a lot in there without overwhelming.
Episode 2 is again stylishly shot, slow paced but not slow enough to lose you attention but allowing you to take everything in. Preacher has a problem congregant that he attempts to counsel but doesn't believe that it has worked and this message is repeated throughout this episode, each time giving Preacher more cause for action.
Tulip continues to torment Jesse about doing the "job" whilst making his life harder. We are introduced to some agents, DeBlanc and Fiore, who appear to be tracking the entity that inhabits Preacher. I say introduced but not much is given away about them in fairness other than they have been everywhere that the entity has been. Eventually they believe that they have tracked it down and so begins the task of capturing the escaped entity, which in turn leads to the standout scene from this episode in my opinion between the agents and Cassidy.
Preacher again has cause for using his power, this time on purpose, in an attempt to solve the problem of his wayward congregant. This really is Jesse testing his ability is his to control before he believes that he can use this power for helping people. We leave the episode with Preacher using his "Divine Voice" to, hopefully, help a comatose youngster.

Back at school.
Not that I don't have a bone to pick with their attempt at reality, but more on that later.
First, I had a specific request for Blair's rhinestone headband.
It's Jennifer Behr, but the real mystery is the cape. No one on the internets can find it!
Apparently, the uniforms are coming from French Toast, which is actually a uniform store. Who knew? The real covetable item? Her shoes, which are Nine West! I'll race you there....
The parents in TV shows are typically a snoozefest (see 90120, My So-Called Life) but I perked up when I saw Lily in this Stella McCartney floral top.
But I came crashing down to reality when I found that it was sold out everywhere.
And now! Field hockey!!
As a chick who knew how to handle a stick in high school, I am well versed in the art of traipsing around the halls in a game outfit and hiking up that skirt. (Actually, I knew a girl who had hers professionally altered to be shorter and poufier.)
Although...I accessorized with a mouthguard, not gumball sized pearls. Maybe that's why we smoked the all girls schools when we played them.
Also, holy Herve Leger Batman!
No mortal should attempt to wear this dress. Ever.
And now for my reality check.
No way that girls from Constance Billard (aka Nightingale Bamford) would hang out with Dalton guys. They would go for Collegiate or Trinity for sure.

This post has been a long time coming. I've written drafts and drafts in my head for months, but my struggle with a mental illness has been a lifelong issue.
Only in the last 2 years did I seek professional treatment for my depression and anxiety. I can't tell you how much happier and healthier I am because of it.

After getting the confirmation from Kohei Nishiyama, founder of Japanese user innovation company cuusoo.com, I had little more than a month's time to prepare and organize this "HK International Design & Innovation Forum" event.
You can read about the reason why I wanted to create this event in my previous post. I wanted to do something meaningful for the local design and technology communities, yet during the preparation stages, I encountered quite a few disappointments. For example, Youth.gov.hk, I sent them an info email like the one I wrote in my previous blog post, and all I got in response was this:

And then there was the events & marketing department of the Polytechnic University School of Design. I blasted multiple emails to email@example.com, but never got any replies. Then, through the help of CCHK Creative Common's Haggen So, I got in contact with one of the professors inside the School of Design, I dropped off a stack of posters for him to post at the school but when I returned a few days before the event, I found that none of my posters were posted! I really wanted the speakers to be able to share their experience and inspire young design students… so I barged into one of the classroom and spoke directly to the students inside, invited them to check out the event web page and spread the news to their friends! (I was one step short of kidnapping the students and dragging them to the event 😛 )
Besides blogging about the event, creating a web page, a directions page and an event sign up form, making sure my event page pops up as #1 in both Yahoo and Google search, I also tried my hands on some guerrilla marketing, like the job hiring posters above and a Youtube video! That was a first for me, kinda fun.
Finally, come the day of the event, picked up Kohei and had a quick dim sum lunch in TST, rushed to the JCCAC at 2, met up with Thomas and Douglas as they arrive, none of us prepared anything to talk about, the guests were relying on Thomas to lead them into different topics. I briefly explained to them one more time about the reason why I created this event, (to inspire the youths) and off I went on stage to start the talks. (Deep breath~~)
While I was all nervous talking on stage, looks like the guest speakers were quite tensed as well.
The talk was great, Douglas gave us a glimpse into their design process as a team within G.O.D. How he realized Hong Kong's unique cultural importance, and later on, he spoke with Kohei about how G.O.D. could use cuusoo.com's system to harness user innovations in Hong Kong.
As expected, there were lots of interests in cuusoo.com's user innovations and designers collaborations model. The audience asked questions about "how cuusoo.com retain its users", "how much cuusoo.com reward its users", "how do you protect the artists' IP? (Intellectual Properties)"… etc etc. The "protecting artists' assets" is a typical concern for all artists and designers all over the world. I've heard the same concern when I was in New York. "Trust" is a big problem on the internet, I had a few long conversations with Kohei in regards to that in the days after. This is a personal interests of mine, solving this "trust" problem, and I'm continuing to work on a solution(s).
Questions were predominantly business and money related, I was hoping Douglas and Kohei would talk about how they started out and how they struggled, 'coz I think stories of unrelenting spirits are great motivations for people. One audience did ask Kohei about his decision to leave McKinsey & Co. to start his own biz. That was a good question. Kohei recounted that it was like social suicide! His colleagues all told him to think twice, as he wouldn't be allowed back! The business was only in its most infancy stage, Kohei saw the potential (far into the future!), and took the leap of faith. The reward is that he has been doing what he loves for the past 10 years, and he's happy to continue doing it till the end! I guess this is the kind of message I want the youngsters to have. Don't just look at jobs that pay the most amount of money. Find your passion, follow it, don't be afraid of failures and tough it out!!
After the event, we spread into small group discussions. That was cool, got to meet quite a few new people.
After both Thomas and Douglas had left, Kohei stayed behind and discussed with a group of really enthusiastic folks.
Kohei said he's really impressed with the amount of interests and talents in Hong Kong. We are currently working on the details of a "first international project" on cuusoo.com. I'll be posting the details up here later.
Once again, I would like to thank G.O.D. and Douglas Young for helping to make this event come true, Thomas Crampton for moderating, Kohei Nishiyama for taking time out of his busy schedule to come spend an entire afternoon with us, and everyone who came and participated in the event! Thank you!

2001 a space odyssey, British film, Canterbury, Charles Hawtrey, Criterion collection, Dennis Price, Eddie McMillan, Emeric Pressburger, Eric Portman, Kubrick, Michael Powell, Nick Burton, Sgt John Sweet, Sheila Sim
The world is divided into those who, when someone mentions 'the Archers', think of BBC Radio Four's interminable 'everyday story of inbred folk', and those others who bring to mind the logo of the production company which propelled the cinematic genius of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger to the screen. My favourite P&P film is almost invariably the latest one I have revisited, though 'A Canterbury Tale' always hovers close to the top of the list.
Why? One example of its visual power. Put a group of cineastes in a room and sooner rather than later, they will refer to one of the most iconic transformation shots in cinema: Stanley Kubrick's use of a shard of bone to journey forward from a pre-history of violent savagery to a space shuttle in mid- commute in 2001. It is possibly Kubrick's most memorable piece of editing. Yet in 'A Canterbury Tale', Powell presents a smoother, and far more poetic transformation shot. It catapults us from Chaucer's Fourteenth Century, forward to 1940's wartime England, by transforming a hunting kestrel into a stooping Supermarine Spitfire.
The watching falconer becomes an army sentry.
The 'Kubrickisti' at this point look down at their shoes and shuffle self-consciously, realising their demigod has been caught with his fingers in the film splicer….
But there is so much more to ACT. [Followers of P&P tend to refer to their treasures by acronyms] This is perhaps the most genre defying piece of cinematic poetry ever made with the commercial cinema in mind. In written description it seems to be a mass of contradiction.
It's plot driver is a petty criminal, but this is not a crime thriller.
It is very much a war film played out in a landscape populated with troops, but no shots are fired. [The only violent battle scene takes place between pre-teen children.]
It is based on a classic of English [world] literature, but only loosely.
There is not so much as a kiss, but an atmosphere of febrile sexuality pervades almost every frame.
It identifies human decency derived from a shared language, but the use of which is frequently divergent in meaning.
It is a timeless story story set in a specific location at a particular point in time. Four people and landscape, each bearing the indelible marks of their past record.
The film is, like life itself, fairly plotless; a capture of an episode in the lives of four people who pursued lives before this point and will continue them after we have left them.
The plot device is mundanity itself. Someone is going around pouring glue into the hair of young girls, under the cover of darkness. The 'Glue Man's' crime is of a low priority [and somehow very English in its eccentricity], and in no way comparable with the crimes against humanity being perpetrated across the nearby Channel. The film will not develop into a manhunt feature; the culprit is revealed to the audience within the first twenty minutes or so. Not so much a 'Whodunnit' as a 'Whydunnit'. It is the motivation for the glue assaults which is important. Here, subtext is everything.
The script was a response to the contemporary situation in wartime England. With the entry of the United States into the war, plans to liberate Europe depended on the use of England as a physical springboard. In preparation for a ground offensive, a massive influx of US armed forces personnel were by 1943, "over-paid, over-sexed and over here".
Figures in authority at any time are suspicious of those younger and more virile than themselves and attribute moral irresponsibility to their condition. Wartime England, its population boosted by American servicemen had more hormonal youth than could be easily controlled from above. Worse, this young immigrant service force were affluent. They brought with them all things modern – dance music, consumer treats and perhaps also a more 'sophisticated' or permissive philosophy, with which to impress a young indigenous female population awakened to its own mortality by the casualties of war around them. Any subsequent increase in the rate of pregnancies out of wedlock would create frictions between both the generations and the Old and New World allies and might sap the joint war effort.
The film presents two approaches to this problem. 'The Glue Man' proposes to counter this threat to the social fabric through the technique of aversion therapy. Any girl 'stepping out' with servicemen on a date is a target for a glue-pouring attack. His hope is to turn young minds away from carnal thoughts towards the more intellectually rewarding pursuit of historical study. This enthusiastic consumer of Ryman adhesive supplies happens to be a Justice of the Peace and a pillar of the local community.
P&P's solution is to trust in common decency: social intercourse and mutual accommodation built on the foundation of a common language. As words on paper, this reads like an Anglo-American bridge-building propaganda exercise. What they present is actually a very acute series of social details which provide points of connection. A central scene here is when two characters from different nations, generations and occupations discover that they fall back on a shared pool of knowledge of wood types and woodworking techniques.
Such connections are counter-intuitively reinforced by the divergences the nations have occasionally made from the common pathway. The American officer discovers that the English speaking peoples have different words for currency and grocery stores. Different measurements for town and river size. Radically different police methods and telephone systems. Military stripes which follow opposite directions of travel symbolise the deviations from the common cause -but also represent the small scale of these differences within the broader scheme. By the end of the film, even 50% of the film's American contingent have succumbed to the pleasure of tea-drinking!
Always give a film a viewing before referring to an online movie critique site. 'Rotten Tomatoes' presents some interesting and widely divergent views, which might, on balance, just usher a potential viewer away from this gem [though seen as a 'small' film, one must invest two hours in it] towards more easily digestible commercial fare. However, guest reviewer there, "Brian R." in his critique of February 2011 succinctly describes the film thus:
"By today's standards it is slow-paced, almost meditative. Four disparate characters follow the Pilgrims' Way to Canterbury Cathedral (symbolic of the spiritual journeys being made by the people of a country at war) and receive unexpected blessings.The Kent countryside is glorious and is allowed to speak for itself, but the most visually impressive thing is Art Director Alfred Junge's recreation in the studio of the interior of Canterbury Cathedral. The acting from the four leads is brilliant, with real life American G.I. Sergeant John Sweet outstanding as Bob Johnson."
I concur wholeheartedly with his assessment of John Sweet's performance. Portman, Price and Sim are always going to be reliable and entertaining fellow travellers, but how adventurous the decision to cast a non-actor in the central male role. Powell had initially hoped to use Burgess Meredith, already an actor of note. Though a fine talent, he would have impregnated the role with a degree of off-screen personality and worldly wisdom. Thanks to US Army bureaucracy, Powell instead had to use an amateur he had seen in a Red Cross production and the result produces an anchor of realism for a soaring, almost mystical portrayal of a nation at the crossroads of history. In his acting inexperience, Sweet imbues Sgt. Bob Johnson [from Oregon] with his own gaucheness and naivety, being himself a young man adrift in surroundings most unlike his native Minnesota. He knows nobody, he struggles with everyday objects [his battle with the telephone actually took him 23 takes to get it right], the 'blackout' rules and the Inn's breakfast protocol.1
Frustration gradually develops into enchantment with this alien culture with roots which, he is reminded by station master Charles Hawtrey, travel deeper back through time well beyond Columbus' 'discovery' of the New World. He experiences this epiphany largely because he makes an effort with the local people; Wheelwrights, children and his fellow 'pilgrims'. He called upon his own experience to refine his performance, for example, "a scene sitting in a farm cart lamenting the lack of letters from my girl friend back home. Now it just so happens that I myself was in a no-mail-from-my-wife slump and when I talked about my loneliness it came out on the film quite real and life like. Where, said director, did you find this sudden mastery ?…. despite the edge of sarcasm, I needed and welcomed the compliment." 2 Sweet's wholesome good nature was not simply screen persona. He received $2,000 from the film company. US Army regulations ruled that any extra-curricular pay must be donated to a charity. He elected to give the full sum to the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. Coming from a native of Minnesota and enlisted in an army which had imposed a rigid colour bar within its own institutions, this was a profound gesture and fully vindicated Powell's reading of human nature.3
At an upstate New York film festival, someone asked this humble man about the effect of the film on his career – was there a fan club? He said he received a total of three fan letters from three lonesome British servicewomen. 4
In return for his invaluable contribution to the film, the production and the corner of England which provided its location shoot rewarded 'pilgrim' Sweet his own blessing; "The few months I spent making the film were the most profound and influential of my life".5
My personal favourite moment? Everything here is a pleasure, but the sequence which moves me closer to tears with every viewing is when Alison returns to the caravan which she shared with her fiance on a prewar archeological excavation. he is now lost in action. This conduit for her memories of him is decaying before her eyes. Her revulsion at the flight of the clothes moths emerging from his coat and into the light, is moving beyond words.
And then…. her blessing is awarded and in an unexpected form… watch and be delighted.

Chevy knows how to please a crowd. Way back in 2015, Chevrolet wowed fans at the SEMA show with a special 'Redline' kit that had fans salivating. The brand decided to respond to the enthusiasm by surprising everyone with the new Chevrolet Redline Package. This package debuted at the Chicago Auto Show when Chevrolet revealed it would be offering the upgrade on not one, not two, but nine of its most popular, new models.
The Redline Package will be generally the same on all models – a cosmetic upgrade consisting of blacked-out accents with sharply-contrasting red lines and touches, such as black wheels with red hash marks and a black nameplate with a red outline. This package will be available on – hold your breath – the Cruze LT sedan and hatchback, the Malibu LT, Camaro LT and SS (including coupe and convertible body styles), Trax LT, Equinox LT, Traverse Premier, Colorado LT, and Silverado Double Cab and Crew Cab models in the LT Z71 trim.
The Chevrolet Redline Package models will roll out gradually throughout 2017. The first wave will include the Silverado models, with the rest launching by the end of the year. Make sure to check them out at Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet to see the slick new look in person and ask us any questions you have.

Entry # 137
Cottage Renovation on Lake Joseph
Brief overview of the project
We have a high efficiency, propane-fired boiler feeding hot water to an HPS pumping station which then feeds two hydronic air handlers, three infloor manifolds and also an indirect fired water heater.
We installed a Caleffi 5495 Series SEP4 hydraulic separator to handle our air and dirt separation requirements, as well as hydraulic separation requirements. We also used Caleffi's boiler feed 573 Series AutoFill Combo as well.
Design goal
Installation space is typically challenging, but this installation had more space available than usual.
Installation description
The cottage was under renovation. All HVAC work was replaced with new equipment.
System performance
All of the equipment is new. Brief testing performed, as it's summer, though we suspect it will preform well!

Pad Print Machinery of Vermont
"In addition to shortening the prepress process significantly, laser-etched cliches will speed up registration for multiple-color pad printing jobs," says Julian Joffe, president of Pad Print Machinery of Vermont, about the company's new Rapid Fire Cliche Maker. The benchtop-sized system comes with its own PC, and it uses a 10-watt CO2 laser to etch polymer pad-printing plates to a depth of 18-60 microns. PPMOV says the 0.0001-in. (0.0025-mm) dot size the device produces yields extremely fine lines and details, including halftones and four-color-process cliches. The Rapid Fire Cliché Maker can operate at speeds up to 45 in./sec.

Portrait Paintings of Pets, Homes, People, and more…
Portrait paintings are created by artist Dominic White in Portland, Maine and ship anywhere in the US and Canada.
All portraits are custom works of art and are delivered in a timely, professional manner.
Portrait paintings are unframed, however framing options are available.
Framing Options For Portrait Paintings
Pick a frame style and turn your commission into a ready-to-hang work of art or finished gift.
Four Styles to Choose From:
About the Practicing Artist Sketchbook
When I'm out drawing and painting in public people usually approach me and say, "I wish I could draw." My reply is usually, "Then you should start drawing and keep drawing."
While there are people for whom painting and drawing come naturally, art is like anything else. The more you do it the better you get.
I would never consider myself a naturally gifted artist. Fortunately I realized at an early age that the more I drew the better I got. Eventually I got good enough to go to art school and graduated with a BFA in Illustration.
After college I went into the web design and graphic arts field. I kept drawing but never considered becoming a professional fine artist.
Then in 2001 I moved to Portland, Maine and sold my first portrait commission. It was a house portrait of a beach shack in Islesboro, Maine. The shack belonged to the client's grandfather and had been torn down many years earlier. I had to paint it from old photos and descriptions.
This painting of a humble beach shack was more satisfying than anything I'd done as a web and graphic designer. The reaction of the clients and those of her parents who she was giving the gift to were extremely rewarding.
I dedicated myself to studying portraiture and drawing from life as much as possible to improve as an artist and build my portrait painting carreer. This studying continues to this day and will be a life long pursuit.
My Online Sketchbook contains the results of theses studies. I post sketches from my drawing groups, studies, and other artwork out side of the genre of portrait painting. It will also include artwork that inspires me and some art tips that I learn along the way as well.
My hope is that it inspires you to keep drawing even if you don't think you have the natural talent it takes to be an artist. I am confident that you do.

Who are you? Who am I? Why have we allowed society to label us? I am a spirit clothed in skin. Skin in which may be darker than some, yet it still encloses my being. Yes, my hair may be kinky and my teeth are pearly white, but still that is not who I am. Throughout life I am forced to check a box so another can determine who I am and how they will treat me. From that moment,the very moment I was born…I was labelled.
Depending on which box I mark in life will at times depend on if I get the job or not. By marking a box, I am allowing the world to label me. So not what God intended.
All I ask is that you look past my skin and see my heart. See that I love people and I want peace in earth. Don't set a prejudgement by my skin and assume I will never make it. I am a human just like you. My blood is also red, so don't label me differently than you.
Even if I speak differently than you, I still have a voice that should be heard. I may at times switch up my verbs and adjectives in my sentences, but that doesn't mean I'm not educated. My dialect at times is a reflection of my pain and struggles.
When will the world stop with all the labels? No one wins. Whether you're too tall, too fat, too dark or too pale, someone always has something negative to say. All I ask is that you get to know me for me. Learn the person that I am. And aftetwhich, if you've decided that I am not your cup of tea, at least you tried to know me. You then have the right to not like me. But only me. Not an entire race.
I get everyone may not not like everyone, but the word of God clearly tells us to love one another. Love despite color of skin. Love despite hair texture. Love despite gender or sexuality. You don't have to agree, but you are still suppose to love.
Labels cause division. No one is ever born claiming to be a certain race. We are taught that. No one is born claiming they are poor, until someone says to them that they are. No one is better than another. We were all born naked and it is guaranteed that we all are gonna die one day. Die without taking a single thing we've accumulated from this Earth with us. We are all gonna die one day and the only label the grave will have is dead!.
Stop labelling and love one another.

Yoga Bootcamp Party at PYT
- At May 08, 2014
- By christen
- In Blog
- 0
Yoga Bootcamp happens every Wednesday at 8:45am and 6pm at Power Yoga Tribe.
It is a heated 75-minute practice that starts with a 15-minute Sun Salutation warm-up. The yoga bootcamp portion of the class is approximately 30 minutes where we incorporate interval training with yoga postures.
Examples: Side Plank Alternating with a Push-Up in between each side, Crescent Lunge to Knee Raise, Eagle Crunches
Each yoga interval lasts 1 minute and then the posture or posture sequence changes. All the poses can be amplified or modified so it is accessible to the beginner yogi as well as to the advanced practitioner. All of this is set to upbeat, inspiring music. After the bootcamp portion of the class is complete, the class ends with some backbends and 15 minutes of restorative yoga (hip openers, forwards folds, inversions).
What's different about this class is that it takes your practice to new and different places. It builds physical and mental strength. Because it is a physically challenging practice and not something we do often, we often create stories that we aren't strong enough to do it etc… Christen helps you become aware of the negative mental scripts that run in your head. Once you are aware of them, you have a choice to listen to them or not. This class shows you that you are as powerful as you believe you are.
All of this happens in fun and lighthearted environment. The PYT community is so inspiring to one another, encouraging each other to keep going and never quit. Your abs will be sore you when you leave this class from laughing so hard. We laugh, sing and get downright crazy. That is what Yoga Bootcamp is all about… it's a big Yoga Party!
