We welcome fantasy author James A. West as a guest blogger on June 16, 2012. Mr. West is the author of The Heirs of the Fallen series.
Heroes are not born, they are forged in the fires of apocalypse...
In the heavens above, the three moons crash together, streaming fire and death in their wake; below, the seas rage as the roiling face of the world shatters. After Prince Varis Kilvar steals powers to transform himself into a god, chaos reigns from the king's city of Ammathor to the forbidding walls of the Black Keep. At his heels marches a demonic army torn from the very bowels of the Thousand Hells, and the risen God King uses terror to stake his claim over all lands.
Betrayed and bound to Varis by powers he does not understand, mercenary Kian Valara is forced to masquerade as the world's savior, while a beautiful Sister of Najihar prepares him for his last battle. Victory against a living god is far from certain, but vengeance? For Kian, when the battle rage falls upon his soul and the sword hilt is hot and alive against his palm, vengeance is never out of reach.
Chains that bind the soul are stronger than iron…
One step ahead of demonic slavemasters, Leitos flees across a sun-scorched realm littered with the relics of mankind's destruction. No matter which way he turns, enemies stalk the shadows clad in fiendish flesh, or hunt in plain sight wearing the faces of men.
Thrust into a world his slave's eyes have never seen, Leitos struggles to heed his dying grandfather's command: "Run and hide. Find the Crown of the Setting Sun beyond the Mountains of Fire, and there seek out the Brothers of the Crimson Shield." Such are the words of a madman … yet they are his only hope.
Mr. West will be blogging about life and his work especially his recently relased Crown of the Setting Sun. Both of these books sound awesome and I shall be adding them to my to read list.

Honouring Victoria's most generous donors
Nov 08 2012
Fallout from the financial crash of 2008 has shrunk corporate charitable budgets, but individuals have stepped up to fill the void, says a Victoria fundraiser.
Suzanne Dubé, president of the Vancouver Island Chapter of Professional Fundraisers, said it's become tougher to raise money for good causes in the past four years.
"Corporations are cutting back," said Dubé. "But individuals have really stepped up."
She was speaking in the lead-up to tonight, when individuals and groups in the community who are pitching in will be recognized at the Fairmont Empress Hotel as part of National Philanthropy Day.
Five awards will be presented:
? The Generosity of Spirit Award will go David Flaherty, president of Pacific Opera Victoria, who made a special $100,000 gift to Pacific Opera this year to retire the company's deficit.
? The Outstanding Philanthropic Service Club will go to Soroptimist Victoria, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary. Soroptimist, meaning "best for women," raises an average of $35,000 annually to support efforts such as Women's Transition House, holiday hampers for single-parent families, school supplies, bursaries and birth training for Pacific developing countries.
? The Youth in Philanthropy Award (ages five to 10) goes to St. Margaret's Junior School.
Over the last 18 years, the students of St. Margaret's Junior School have raised about $26,000 to support the Children's Health Foundation, through events such as an annual Book and Bear Sale, rocking chair Rock-A-Thon and the "Girls Just Wanna have Fun"draiser.
? The Youth in Philanthropy Award (ages 11-18) goes to Reynolds Secondary School.
This year is the eighth consecutive year that students of Reynolds have been part of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Students have held car washes, bottle drives, bake sales and shaved their heads to raise a stunning $370,000.
? The Corporate Responsibility Award goes to commercial real estate firm Colliers International.
Since 2000, Colliers has donated more than $600,000 to the B.C. Cancer Foundation, Junior Achievement, Make a Wish Foundation,
Boys and Girls Club, B.C. Children's Hospital Fountain, CHILD Foundation, Salvation Army, B.C. Association of Community Living and Columbia Centre.

Do you know how much marketing activity you can actually afford? Even if best practice marketing is employed it is not safe to assume that an increase in B2B marketing costs will be more than covered by the resulting sales?
As an example if a manufacturing company intends to increase sales it is reasonable to expect that some extra marketing activity will be required to generate those sales. Of course a proportion of the increase will be generated by existing customers and projects but what about the rest? Marketing activity will be required to generate the required sales leads.
The ideal marketing process may include Content, Website (&SEO), Email, Social media and possibly some Pay per Click. Is it really possible to justify investing in everything or are there choices to be made? The first step is to determine how many sales leads (on average) are required to generate a sale, what is the average value of a sale and therefore how many leads are required. Read more on calculating lead quantity in this post from Christopher Ryan.
With the number of leads in place it is then possible to develop a process. For a manufacturing business social media should be a low priority leaving Email and website both of which require content. If an Email list of existing customers and prospects is in place then to reach out to these contacts with engaging and valuable content and nurture those prospects going forward is by far the cheapest route.
Simple measurement processes may be put in place to quantify exactly how many leads are generated from an ongoing Email campaign but what if the business suffers from the all too common small list syndrome , what then. Ultimately, a small Email list results in a small number of leads, regardless of how strong your content and nurturing process may be.
Of course you could take the inbound route but that demands both a substantial investment in content, in its many forms, and SEO to ensure your content hub (website) is actually found. Don't fall for the 'build it and they will come myth' as it just won't happen.
Good quality SEO takes time and effort and that involves cost. Justifying the expense of a full time SEO person can be difficult and it is not something you can expect an existing marketing person to learn overnight. It is important to make a careful analysis at this point of exactly how many sales leads you can expect from inbound marketing (and website) and therefore what you can reasonably invest.
The alternative option is to invest in pay per click but it is important to first check it fits with your type of business. It is well established the majority of prospects look to the organic results on Google before they look to the ad results. PPC has many advantages including the ease of defining cost per lead but it only tends to fit with a relatively small proportion of manufacturing type businesses. It is however easier to equip an internal marketing person with PPC skills than SEO skills in a relatively short period of time.
Cost per lead is generally higher for PPC than inbound marketing or Email. On the flip side PPC and Email are much faster to generate results. However, as mentioned above, Email only works well if you have a good quality Email list. If it is necessary to build a list that can take a significant amount of time and effort. The task is not to blindly invest in marketing but to think through a process that will deliver the required number of leads for an appropriate cost. Crucially, the same analysis will show what is, and is not, a realistic number of leads and therefore a reasonable turnover growth forecast.

Avon Campaign 19 Brochure Wrap-Up with Avon Fashion & Avon Jewelry – Exclusively You!
While there are no shortage of great makeup deals, skin care specials, and much more to write about, I always short change the second half of the Avon Brochure. I want to take a quick look at Avon Fashion. I sell a lot of fashion, and jewelry, lets see how good this section is….. First off, the dresses, Avon has been adding to, and improving the clothing fashion offerings over the last year. I call this the pick of the Avon Campaign 19 Brochure! Do you agree? write me in the comments!
But the style doesn't stop with dresses. Take a look at these Avon Hand Bags, and Avon Shoe Fashions too.
I have purchased both the Avon Hand Bags, and many of Avon's Shoes, and I like them a lot. I believe the quality is good, many of my customers have also bought shoes, and they like them too. Ratings for the shoes are pretty few and far between. I don't think sales are very high for these products. Many shoes have very good ratings, but from just a few buyers. So If you buy a hand bag, or pair of shoes, please go back to my store and leave a rating, and write something about your purchase. Thank you.
I also want to show you a few pieces of Avon's Jewelry. I have a lot of Avon Jewelry, and it is a high quality product. I always get complements, and when I tell people that it's Avon, they are always surprised, and always ask for a brochure from me afterwards. Visit my Avon Jewelry link above, and you will see that customers rate the jewelry very highly. Take a look at this beautiful piece here……
My customers always fall in love with the watches from Avon. The color, and bold design does it every time……..
Avon supports many women's specific causes. On page 200 you will find some products that carry a portion of the sale price will be donated to the cause listed. No better way to give to an Avon supported cause than with a purchase that helps you show you care. When people ask you about your umbrella, or piece of jewelry, you can tell them it was from the Avon Foundation for Women, or the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.
This will wrap up my review of the Avon Campaign 19 Brochure. Please stop by my Avon e-store to See All the Avon Brochure Catalogs Online. The Campaign 19 Brochure is Active 8/20/17 – 9/3/17. Please don't panic if you past the official sale ending date. You can get these prices up to the end of campaign 21, select a previous campaign during your online check out, or if you are buying from me in person, simply tell me you are ordering from Campaign 19.
Thank you so much for reading my blog post, I hope to see you again next campaign.
Have a wonderful Day !

Swedish label Cheap Monday introduced clear boots for their spring 2011 collection. The totally transparent boots come in several heights and heel styles, and they'll go with anything. What's not to love?
Well, I have 10 really good reasons why these see-through boots are not all that lovable. Ten nubby little unpainted reasons.
I finally got summer and springtime pedicures worked into my annual budget, and here come clear boots. Great. This means pedicures in fall and winter too -- year-round pedicures! Feet on parade anytime of the year! Oh no!
Simply put, I count on winter and fall for what I like to call "foot hibernation." The feet slide into socks and shoes and don't come out until spring. It's time to let my toenails breathe and wiggle polish free. It's one less thing on my to-do list. Heck, I don't even have to look at my feet for months. And, hello, it eliminates that extra expense I don't need.
Check out the three Cheap Monday clear rain boot styles:
1. Clear ankle boots (flats; shown above)
2. Clear ankle boots (heels)
3. Clear over-the-knee boots
I definitely respect the creative ingenuity of these boots that let women with pretty tan summer legs and adorable daisy-painted toes flaunt them a little longer. I'm just sayin' I'm not doing it. In fact, I liked how Zac Posen played the clear boots trend a little better, still allowing the toes to hibernate.
I say long live toe hibernation season! What say you?
Are you into these clear rain boots? Would you wear them?

Kurt Busch Wins at Martinsville
It's not too often that Jimmie Johnson dominates a race, especially at Martinsville and loses. That's exactly what happened on Sunday when Johnson led 296 of the 500 laps at the half mile track but came in second to Kurt Busch.
Busch has been in contention all season long with his new Stewart-Haas team and finally crossed the finish line first to become the sixth winner in six Sprint Cup races this season and his second at Martinsville. Busch passed Johnson with 11 laps left and held on the rest of the way. He also ended an 83-race winless streak.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. came in third with Joey Logano and Marcos Ambrose completing the Top 5.
The third-place finish by Earnhardt was good enough to move him into the points lead 9 points up on Matt Kenseth. Earnhardt has finished in the Top 3 in four out of six races so far this season.
It's on to Texas Motor Speedway next Sunday.

By: Henry J. Fromage (Two Beers) –
Canadian actress turned director Sarah Polley has only made three films, but their influence has turned her into one of the most acclaimed talents under 35 in the world. Away From Her got her an Oscar nomination, Take This Waltz got her mainstream attention, and now Stories We Tell is likely to put a statue on her mantel.
If only
Stories We Tell is Polley's first documentary, and she picks a very personal topic- her own heritage. Her mother, Diane, passed away when she was only 11, and she interviews family and friends both to create a portrait of this woman, and to recount her uncovering of a family secret that lies at the heart of who she is.
A Toast
I love my family, but if I had to pick another, it would be the Waltons, clearly. After that, the Polleys would be a pretty good choice. The subject matter here would have torn apart a lesser family than this, and even a stranger one would be hesitant to discuss it for the world to see. Yet Polley is able to get everyone to weigh in, and they are gracious and obviously full of love for each other. Ten Pixar films put together couldn't be this heartwarming.
Now that Disney's in charge, that might happen
Stylistically, the film is pretty standard, and the combination of old photographs, interviews, and people reading letters aloud feels kind of like if Ken Burns made a documentary about himself.
Morgan Freeman's voice: "The story of Ken Burns began with a whimper, not a bang."
It serves the subject well, though, and as we get further along Polley's greater agenda in telling family stories reveals itself- she's trying to pin down how memories and even truth changes with time and perspective; how the stories we tell become divorced from reality, and how that reality becomes more ephemeral as time marches resolutely over and past it.
Beer Two
Perhaps this is tied to her larger thesis, but these folks really have gotten over this to the point that they're weirdly matter of fact about it all. Chalk it up to "time heals all wounds", I guess.
Excepting Alabama, of course
Also, at least a sip goes to the hype machine (which I'm abetting by not naming the family secret). Once it hits, you're more likely to think "that's it?" than gasp and swoon. Polley herself seems to construct things this way on purpose, and if you haven't figured things out by the big revelation, you should probably put your damn smartphone down and pay attention.
Sarah Polley tells a very personal story in a very compelling and heartwarming way in this much-lauded documentary. For fans of the genre, it's a must-see.
Drinking Game
Take a Drink: for every new interviewee
Take a Drink: whenever Diane is referred to as outgoing
Take a Drink: whenever she's referred to as secretive
Do a Shot: when mortality is confronted
Last Call
Stick around for a perfect "Oh Shit!" last reveal

Featured this week are two wedding cakes by K.Rose Cakes in Washington, DC. Both confections start with the same basic design—two square cake tiers wrapped with brown striped ribbon. But it's the addition of different décor elements that give each cake a distinct look and feel. The oversize tropical sugar flower (left) adds a touch of boldness that's tempered by the sweet silk ribbon cascade; the design would beautifully complement a garden or island wedding. The cake (on right), accented with white dahlia blossoms (also fashioned from sugar) and a tiny guinea feather, has a more streamlined look that would work well in a modern loft or art gallery. —Heather Lee

Old Press
Iowa Recorder
Greene, Butler co. Iowa
March 7, 1923
Hanging Friday Tenth in Iowa
Dubuque was Scene of First Legal Execution.
Earl Throst will be hanged Friday at Ft. Madison for the Murder of Inga Magnussen.
Des Moines, March 6 -- When Sheriff Ben A. Davis springs the gallows trap which sends Earl Throst to his death in the Fort Madison prison year, Friday, March 9, it will be the tenth time in its history that the state of Iowa has exacted the death penalty for violation of its laws. Throst is scheduled to hang at 7:30 a.m., Friday, for the death of Inga Magnussen, pretty Alamakee county country school teacher, whom he murdered in the basement of her school house, near Dorchester, Dec. 12, 1921. Anger at her refusal to accept his attentions was given as the motive for the crime. Throst's execution will be the fourth that has taken place at Fort Madison in the last seven months, the other condemned men who paid the supreme penalty on the rough prison gallows in that time being Ira Pavey, Eugene Weeks and Orrie Cross.
Despite a number of recent hangings, the record of capital punishment in Iowa is tempered with leniency, history shows. At one period, from 1872 to 1878, the state had no capital punishment law, choosing rather to sentence its murderers to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. It was on May 20, 1834, that the first recorded trial for murder in what is now known as the state of Iowa was held in the open air, beneath the wide spreading branches of a large elm tree in Dubuque, according to the account in The Annals of Iowa.
When Patrick O'Connor was charge with the murder of George o'Keaf he answered, "I'll tend to my own business; you have no laws in this country." O'Conner had been run out of Galena, Ill., for setting fire to some buildings and attempting to kill one of the leading merchants by firing the contents of a loaded gun through the door of his store. For these acts he narrowly escaped lynching. O'Conner migrated to dubuque, then a flourishing mining town supported by the lead mines nearby.
O'Keaf, an intelligent, industrious young miner, was shot by O'Conner, five slugs entering his breast. O'Coner had forced the door of O'Keaf's cabin, killing the latter as he entered.
A prosecuting attorney was appointed. O'Conner selected ne of his former employers from Galena as his cousel, and on May 20, 1834, the day following the murder, the trial was held. O'Conner chose his jurors from 24 of the bystanders -- six Americans, three Irishmen, one Englishman, one Scotchman and one Frenchman. When asked if he was satisfied with the jury the prisoner replied that he had no objection to any of them. The witnesses were then examined, the prosecuting attorney and the counsel for the defense addressed the jury, the jury retired and after deliberating brought in a verdict of guilty and sentenced the accused to be hanged. The date was set for the 20th of June, 1834, at 1 o'clock p.m. It will be noted the date for the execution was set for just one month following conviction instead of one year as the law now requires.
The gallows was erected in the vicinity of the present court house in Dubuque, and O'Conner was executed here on the date set, the first man to be hanged after trial by jury in what is now Iowa. An eye-witness who wrote down the event is quoted in the Annals account: "Immediately after this many of the reckless and abandoned outlaws who had congregated at the Dubuque mines began to leave for the sunier climes. The gleam of the bowie knife was no longer seen in the nightly street brawls. the people began to feel more secure in the enjoyment of life and property." Since the hanging of O'Conner in the dim days of Iowa's history, which is not counted as an official execution, since Iowa was then but a territory, the state has exacted the death penalty from nine men.
Following are the legal executions which have occcurred at Fort Madison Penitentiary since its establishment in 1838:
October 1, 1894, James Dooley, of Adams county, for the murder of his sweetheart. 16 years old when hanged.
February 8, 1895, J.K. Cumberland, Shelby county, for the murder of two men.
April 20, 1906, Joseph Smith, negro, for the murder of a woman.
July 29, 1910, John Junkin, negro, for the killing of Clara Rosen at Ottumwa.
September 18, 1922, Ira Pavey, Sioux county, for the murder of Claude Letner, alleged booze runner.
September 25, 1922, Eugene Weeks, Polk county, for the murder of George Fosdick, Des Moines grocer.
December 7, 1922, Orrie Cross, Polk county, for the murder of George Fosdick, Des Moines grocer.
Those legally hanged at other places in the state were: Chester Bellows, hanged at Charles City, Dec. 16, 1887, for the murder of his niece; and Henry Scmidt, hanged at West Union for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Peek, Jan. 13, 1888.
Earl Throst will be the tenth man to be legally executed by the state.
During the war three negroes, Robert Johnson, Fred Allen and Stanley Grammell were tried by a military court martial, found guilty, sentenced and hanged at Camp Dodge, July 5, 1918, for a statutory offence against a white woman. the number of times the death penalty has been exacted is in no wise however, an indication of the number of the crimes committeed in the state for which the death sentence could have been invoked. Prison records at Fort Madison show that last year there were 82 men serving life sentences for conviction of murder in the first degree. For many years the tendency of juries in murder cases in Iowa was to inflict the life penalty in lieu of hanging. In recent years the abnormal increase in crime of every descripton has resulted in a return to capital punishment, as evidenced by the recent pending executions.
After Throst is taken to the gallows Friday, in case intervention does not save him, There will still be four men in the death cell at Fort Madison. These are William Olander, Fort Dodge, sentenced to death for the murder of Berthold Halfpap, grocer; Joe Williams, negro, Des Moines, convicted of the murder of Barbara Thorsdale, school teacher; Roy Maupin, negro, waiting death for the murder of Joe Hayes, Carney coal miner; and Archie Burris, negro, Ottumwa, convicted of the murder of Hattie Bates, a negress.

Greene, Butler co. Iowa
March 14, 1923
Des Moines -- There will be no change in capital punishment laws in the state of Iowa. Four members of the Iowa house of representatives: Lake and Forsling of Woodbury county, Blake of Fayette county and Potts of Lee county, returned Saturday after viewing the hanging of Earl Throst at the state prison, on Friday. They were unanimous in their opinion that capital punishment should not be abolished and that hanging was as human a method as could be devised.

So since last week, my motivation levels have been almost non-existent. I deal with anxiety and it is very easy to get into a thought pattern of "what's the point?". I will question life and focus on everything negative.Then the worry builds up and life just comes to a complete standstill. But over the years I have learned how to deal with this and I'm actually a pro at it now! I know how to shake off the blues within minutes now. Don't get me wrong, some days require more than just shaking it off but it is possible to encourage yourself in order to see the bigger picture.These are my personal tips! In no way am I a doctor! These are things that help me naturally relieve my stress and anxiety when there at its peak. So in no specific order, I'm gonna list 10 ways to Relieve Stress and Anxiety (naturally)
10. Breathe!
Sometimes we get overwhelmed and forget to relax and breathe! Take a moment to remove yourself from the situation. Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly! Do this as many times as it takes until you feel yourself relaxing. Once you're relaxed you will be surprised at how calm and focus you become. While I breathe I like to pray or meditate! (Not trying to get all religious on ya but that's just my personal preference)
9.Write It Out!
When I feel overwhelmed, I write all the things that are bothering me down. Once I have done that I organize each problem from small issue to major issue! Once you have everything listed and organized, you begin to realize, it may not be as serious as you thought. Plan a solution for each problem from smallest to greatest and you will literally feel the stress come off your shoulders as you work through each issue.
8. Change Your View!
If you feel stressed or frustrated. Change what you see. For example: if you're in the house, go outside. A change in scenery can always change your mood! If you're sitting at your desk at work, face your chair in a different direction for a few minutes. What you see is what you'll feel, and little changes can make a big difference!
7. Listen to Music
It is a scientific fact that it takes your entire brain to listen to music (which is why people turn the music down in a car when searching for the right address or parallel parking) Turn up the bass! Listen to something upbeat or something relaxing. Do NOT listen to anything depressing or sad it will only make you feel worse. Music is a natural healer of a lot of things and can quickly change your mood!
6. Take a Relaxing Bath or Shower
It's just something about hot water that just melts all your troubles away. You can have an all out release crying session or just sit and clear your mind. Whatever you do, leave it with and in the water. Metaphorically wash your troubles away. Once you come out you will feel renewed and have a clear mind to think.
5.Organize Your Home
I know, I know! Cleaning right. -__- But you would be surprised at how a well-organized and de-cluttered house can make for an instant mood changer! Not to mention while you clean you can take your frustrations out on the clutter instead of other people. When you're done you will feel organized, and when you feel it, you become organized in your thoughts.
4. Talk to Someone
Talking to someone ALWAYS helps! Just make sure that person is a trustworthy, dependable person! Lord knows I will go to my husband and just vent! After I'm done I can feel the pressure come right off! He is also my voice of reason when I don't have my own. That's why if you chose to vent it needs to be with someone you can trust and depend on to give you good advice if needed.
3. Be Around Your Favorite People
Sometimes just being around people you love can turn any horrible day into a better one. I personally love being around my kids. Their pretty little faces can brighten my day almost immediately! They are just pure, good energy and puts me in a better place! They remind me that everything I do is for them, so it makes everything worth it.
2. Take a Nap
Sometimes lack of sleep makes your stress and anxiety worse. Take a 30 minute to an hour nap and you'll most likely wake up with a different perspective and ready to conquer whatever it is that is bothering you.
1. Pamper/ Treat Yourself
Just simply taking care and focusing on you is really all you need. Sometimes we just let stuff pile on and let life get the better of us and really just neglect ourselves. Make time for yourself! Even if you just take 30 minutes alone to do some you love is better than nothing!
Remember people stress kill. So it's important for us to recognize the signs and handle them immediately. These are some of the things I do to help talk me down from a possible anxiety attack. I hope these tips help you like they have helped me over the years 🙂

To introduce children to the world of classical music in a nontraditional way, the Seán Curran Company performed "Everybody Dance Now" at the Tsai Performance Center on Saturday for more than 200 children and adults.
The performance featured dancers clothed in bright colors moving to music from pianist Judith Gordon and Rob Kapilow. Kapilow, who also functioned as the program's creative director and an energetic master of ceremonies, taught the audience the basics of dances including the rumba and a Russian saber dance.
"Listen to the music, move your feet and the next thing you know you're a dancer too," Kapilow said during the performance.
The audience responded enthusiastically, stomping their feet, clapping their hands and even joining dancers onstage. The program encompassed the music of composers ranging from Aaron Copeland to Johannes Brahms.
Kapilow said he was happy with Saturday's performance because "Boston's a great crowd."
He said getting children to move was "a very natural way to respond to music … the kids are great; it's the parents who are ever hard."
Kapilow said he once hosted a radio show in which he invited listeners to call in and explain why they hated classical music. He said he found it was often because of a bad first experience with the art form and said he "wanted to make [children's] first experience really good" by creating a show that was "classy, high quality, but fun at the same time … educational without feeling like a lecture."
Choreographer Seán Curran, who met Kapilow after a performance of Stomp, said he agreed with Kapilow's philosophy of teaching classical music to children.
"I want to be an ambassador for the art form," he said.
Curran said he wanted to create "something that tickles a child's eye, but make it compelling for parents [as well]."
Dancer Nora Brickman, who met Curran at the Boston Conservatory, said the children were a great audience.
"This is kind of a new thing for us," she said.

Can You Say "No" To Clients?- Good Practice In Family Law!
You have a client conference and your client tells you their story, what they want and what they expect out of their family law issues and subsequent court proceedings . However, what the client wants doesn't equate with your views as to how the matter should proceed commercially as its not in the client's best interests or not even possible based on family law principles and legislation. You feel emotionally invested with the client and you want to fight their fight and so you say nothing to the client. Lets call it..... you have monthly or firm budgets to reach and you want to reach your targets, you don't want to upset clients as it may result in the client moving firms!

Lady Frankenstein of Turkey Apologises.
Another one is exposed to the light of day! Another mozlem who has never been elected to anything, was elevated to the peerage and stuck in the House Of lords.
"Baroness" Hussein-Ece is the first Turkish-Cypriot to sit in parliament, according to the Sunday Times 29 May 2011.(Paywall) She is on the National Socialist(Lib-dumbs) benches. Why is a Turkish-Cypriot in the British government? The Turks overran and colonised Northern Cyprus, killing thousands and displacing all the native Greeks. "In 1983 the Turkish Federated State of Cyprus (TNRC) declared independence, although Turkey is the only state which recognises it."
This charming woman who was promoted by Labour and is on the Equality and Human Rights Commission, EHRC, made an anti-white working class - racist remark on Twitter. Trevor Phillips the black Chairman of EHRC "said he had spoken to H-E and she had apologised. He added it was a human reaction which a lot of people will understand".
So according to Mr Phillips, Ms Hussein-Ece's slur against white people is understandable! These people are running the main equality and anti-racism body in the UK and yet they find it "understandable" to practise racism themselves!

Medical and Genetic Privacy
Medical and genetic information can reveal some of the most personal and private data about us, and maintaining control over that information is crucial. As medical records are increasingly digitized and genetic sequencing becomes faster and cheaper, threats to our privacy and autonomy intensify. Whether it is police seeking to search medical records or conduct DNA tests without a warrant, or private corporations patenting human genes, the ACLU is standing up for your rights.
The ACLU has long fought to preserve the privacy of sensitive medical records and genetic information. For example, in Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program v. Drug Enforcement Administration, we argued that law enforcement must get a probable cause warrant from a judge before requesting confidential prescription records from a state prescription tracking database. In Maryland v. King, we filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court opposing the drastic expansion of state DNA databases to include DNA samples from people who have been arrested but not yet convicted. In a 2004 case, we even asked a Florida court to protect the confidentiality of Rush Limbaugh's medical records against unreasonable government search.
We have also consistently opposed attempts to infringe on people's autonomy in making medical decisions. In 1965, the ACLU filed a friend-of-the-court brief in Griswold v. Connecticut, a landmark case where the Supreme Court struck down a state prohibition on the prescription, sale, or use of contraceptives, even for married couples, and recognized a right to privacy surrounding intimate medical and family planning decisions. More recently, in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, the ACLU successfully persuaded the Supreme Court to invalidate patents on two genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, thus removing barriers to scientific research and treatment.

Mother, I'm a happily married man. Julia doesn't interest me. She wouldn't interest me if you hung her naked from the ceiling above my bed.
She might even do that if I asked her!
Aren't you forgetting something? She's still married to Marcellus, and Marcellus is not dead yet.
When I start to forget things, you may light my funeral pyre and put me on it, dead or alive.
('I, Claudius' - "A Touch Of Murder")
From Wikipedia:
In the popular fictional work "I, Claudius" by Robert Graves - based on Tacitus' "Innuendo" - Livia is portrayed as a thoroughly Machiavellian, scheming political mastermind. Determined never to allow republican governance to flower again, as she felt they led to corruption and civil war, and devoted to bringing Tiberius to power and then maintaining him there, she is involved in nearly every death or disgrace in the Julio-Claudian family up to the time of her death. In her deathbed she only fears divine punishment for all she had done, and secures the promise of future deification by her grandson Claudius, an act which, she believes, will guarantee her a blissful afterlife. However, this portrait of her is balanced by her intense devotion to the well-being of the Empire as a whole, and her machinations are justified as a necessarily-cruel means to what she firmly considers a noble aspiration: the common good of the Romans, achievable only under strict imperial rule. In the 1976 BBC television series based on the book, Livia was played by Siân Phillips. Phillips won a BAFTA for her portrayal of the role.
Siân Phillips also played Lady Annabel Butler in "Vixen's Run", an episode of 'Midsomer Murders'....
What about Sandra?
Lady Annabel Butler:
Lady Annabel Butler:
What do you think? Ghastly creature! Quite beyond the pale. If I was going to make it right for Richard, I thought I might as well go the whole hog and put her down before she had a chance to breed. Then we could have found him a decent girl from a decent family and then things would have been as they should be.
('Midsomer Murders' - "Vixen's Run")
I think a very strong case can be made for Lady Annabel to be the reincarnation of Livia Drusilla. Not only do they look alike (Lady Annabel is still alive - hence the present tense.), but they had the same fierce, murderous devotion to their sons. They were both looking out for the well-being and the advancement of their "little boys".
Happy Mother's Day!

As has clearly been stated on official Museum sites before - there is NO TRUTH to any of the rumours that have been made the museum collection is being broken up and sold to America - the museum collection is in trust and cannot be broken up at all. Graham is making plans for the safe transition of the museum to its next owner, whoever that may be, when he retires in a few year's time. Whilst we can understand people's concern for the future of the museum we would ask that you contact the museum directly on 01840250111 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any specific queries!!!
The Museum is currently rated in the top three visitor attractions in Cornwall by Tripadvisor. Come visit us and find out why we're so popular!"

That's good to hear; I find it interesting that this erroneous rumour developed in the first place.
I wonder if the rumour might perhaps have its origins in the fact that the collection formerly housed at Gerald Gardner's Museum of Magic and Witchcraft was sold off to a U.S.-based organization by Monique Wilson back in the late 1960s. In a state of confusion this tale might have been passed along the occult grapevine, eventually degenerating into the current rumour ?

Stadiums Queensland Bleeding Cash Despite Crowd Boost
Loss Of $22m
Despite a boost in numbers from the Commonwealth Games earlier this year Stadiums Queensland is still bleeding money.
Nearly 440,000 people headed along to Metricon Stadium last financial year, more than double the figure from the previous 12 months, while an extra 30,000 people went along to Cbus Super Stadium.
However according to the Stadiums Queensland annual report reportedly attained by News Corp, the group recorded an operating loss of $22 million across its nine facilities, despite getting $57 million from the taxpayer.
A state-government funded report looking into the organisation is due later this year.

So…it has been about a year since the last post, and maybe there isn't anyone reading this blog, but it seems not to have ended, it just stopped and somehow that doesn't feel right. Also, a friend recently asked if we were still using it, and I got a guilt pang…
Where are we, and what's up? We are settled in, in Santiago. We have a fine big apartment, and over the months have furnished it to quite a comfortable level, we have two (replacement) motorbikes parked downstairs and a small VW SUV. The bikes have been super reliable, and perfectly sized for running around the city, and for week end forays out into the country side – which here means either into the mountains or out to the beach. We are discovering Chile, a little at a time.
Still think a lot about the trip, and still think it was a most amazing time, so rich with experiences that it is hard to get your head around the whole thing. If anybody stumbles across these words because they are considering such a journey, stop thinking and just do it. It is easier than you think. As some of you have heard me say, it is just like going for a loaf of bread…but you keep on going.
What are we up to? I (Mike) am learning fast how the copper mining industry works down here. I work for a construction company, and business is enormously good. Projects are large and fast, and it is a much less ordered contracting business than I was used to in my past lives. More rough and tumble. Heather is cutting hair again, and I have quickly become known to most people, not by my own job title, but as "Heather's Dad". It ain't so bad.
We have MANY new friends down here, both through work and not. It is a multi-national crowd, with strong representation from the US, Australia, and of course Chile. Some days, I think my Spanish is getting better, some days I wonder if I speak Spanish at all. But it comes "poco a poco" (little by little). Heather's world is a blend of folks, many of whom speak no English at all, and she is studying, so her fluency and vocabulary have really, really improved.
Also, Heather made a trip to Scotland to see a very special young man. She and Andres have known each other since high school in Bolivia, but waited until they had half a world between them to get interested in spending time together. Ah well, such is the way of things, yes?
And…I had to take an altitude physical for my job (many sites are VERY high). Flunked the EKG, so got to know a good cardiologist who tuned up my pump and now a feel great. Highly recommended…Health care is, btw, very good here. Surgery in Spanish was a treat.
So what's next? We just finished the on-line, classroom part of the PADI scuba course. This was a precursor for the first "home leave" trip out of here, which will happen in September. We are headed to visit a dear friend who lives in the Cayman Islands, and while there we will finish the open water diver certification. I have always wanted to learn scuba, since watching "Sea Hunt" as a kid. THAT reference will send the youngsters to the internet… But then the big party will be a week cruise with James, Becky and Molly. Should be great, great fun. Then, back here in time to watch the South American summer kick off, and hopefully to finish the run down to Patagonia this year. That was on the original trip itinerary, but weather didn't support it. Now, it should be time.
So what's to become of this blog? Not sure. It holds amazing memories, but if it is to continue, it will have to be in some sort of "Chapter 2" version. Hmmm…will have to consult with the co-owner and see what we can come up with…
So, tipping more into the chapter two mode, a few words about some of the adventures we have had so far:
We spent most of last summer getting set up in the apartment and getting transportation sorted out. But there were a couple of visitors, including Heather's friend Beth who came in for a couple of weeks. The two of them loaded up on Heather's bike and bopped over the pass to Mendoza, which is about a day's ride over one of the higher passes in South America. Then, Heather and I made a trip out to a little surf town called Pichelemu for a week end of clouds and drizzle. The coast here shares the northern California tendency for clouds to roll in and drop the temperature dramatically, but it was a good ride and a cute town and we enjoyed it. Soon after that, it was a week end at a cute little lodge in the mountains a couple of hours south of here. Besides the general outing, we did a little fly fishing in a nice little fished-out river down there. The locals fish the water pretty hard, in the sort of harvest mode we used years ago, so water near population is not exciting to fish. But it was good to wet a line and rekindle and old love.
Then, recently, we popped over to the coast to a little town that was a whaling station until well into the 1960s. It is called Quintay, and the whale processing docks and facilities are still there as a museum. It must have been a pretty grissly site when it was operating, and they appear to have done a remarkable job of killing off the whale population, as they are rarely sited anymore. It is a UNESCO site, preserved and protected. And the locals apparently got very excited last year when a whale and her calf were seen in the area.
Then, last week end we returned to San Pedro de Atacama with some good friends (Angus and Kate) and their visiting parents. We were there last year on bikes, but flew this time. It was a really good visit, mostly for the company, but also for the adventures. You may know, San Pedro is a dusty little town in an enormous desert, but sidled up against a range of volcanoes. While there, we got up at 4 in the morning to rattle up a corduroy road for 90 km (55 miles) to see the sun come up over a geyser field. It was at about 14,000 feet, and cold as stink. We were underdressed. Angus further underdressed by peeling off and jumping in one of the soaking pools they had up there. Dang…he is tough, even for an Aussie. The rest of us saved the soaking for a hot spring that was much lower (and nicer) the next day. Other than that, it was mostly a whole lot of eating (great restaurants in this little town) and just decompressing from city life in Santiago.
So now, it is a cloudy sort of chilly day, the mountains of Santiago are shrouded in snow and clouds, and we are just goofing off. In a couple of weeks, Rafael and his tribe are headed down to visit their son who just started University here, and we are finalizing plans for the Caribean getaway. I have a pork roast to toss on the grill, and will take a shot at something called "camarones al pil-pil", which is a tapas sorta thing that originated in Spain but is very popular here. By the way, converting our US grill to use a Chilean gas cylinder was a hoot, but I got it well and properly McGyvered, and it hasn't blown up yet (much to Heather's surprise).
If anybody reads this, and wants to see more, maybe we will kick it back to life. Let us know…

Google Express is one of those services that sound awesome on paper, but many of us still don't really know because it's only available in seven major metros that you could probably guess. Except now it isn't. Now it's also available in six states spread across the Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Google brought Express to Chicago roughly a year ago. Now the company is expanding the reach out to the surrounding area. It says this should open up the service to 25 million more people. Unfortunately, while Indianapolis and Milwaukee make the list, the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Detroit do not. So little of Iowa is included that we might as well not count it.
If you have no idea what Google Express is, I wouldn't blame you. It's a great coping mechanism when you know Google's experiment won't make it your way for years, if ever.
Here's the gist. Express lets you order same-day or overnight delivery from the likes of Barnes & Noble, Costco, Kohl's, PetSmart, Toys "R" Us, Walgreens, and a number of other department stores. It's like shopping online anywhere else, only faster. Midwesterners, enjoy.

If you try to purchase a book and the transaction fails for any reason, you will get an error message confirming that the transaction was not completed, and that no charges have been made to your account. This means that the transaction you attempted was not completed according to our system.
If a charge for an incomplete transaction appears on your bank account nonetheless, then your bank has incorrectly processed a "void transaction". This happens occasionally, and in general the transaction disappears from the account within a day or so. If it is still showing on your account after 24 hours, we recommend you contact your bank to let them know there is an error, and request that they correct the transaction.
If you would like us to look into the matter further, please contact us and tell us the title and author of the book and the date and approximate time of your failed transactions, as well as your region so that we can allow for time zones. Since the transaction was not successful according to our system, we have no record of it in your account.

text: There are some natural food writers that insist that everything must be raw to be healthy. While it is true that cooking destroys enzymes, it is also true that people have cooked at least some of their food for as long as we have records. Grains contain phytates that block mineral absorption. Soaking and cooking them largely eliminates this problem. Most seeds and many nuts have similar properties and so are better soaked and then dried at low temperatures to retain most of the enzyme content. Humans can absorb more of the vitamin content of many vegetables when they are properly cooked, while other vegetables are healthier when they are raw. For example the beta carotene in carrots is turned into vitamin A, when the carrot is cooked and eaten with some fat. Egg yolks are very nutritious raw, while the white of the egg contains a substance that will block biotin (a part of B complex). Certainly, raw milk and cream have many healthy characteristics that are lost with pasteurization and homogenization. Some advocate the use of raw meat, while others abhor it. It does seem that the less meat is cooked, the more enzymes it retains so that it is more digestible. In researching traditional diets, the healthiest societies ate a combination of raw and cooked food. Fermented foods, like kefir, yogurt, and sauerkraut are a good way to add beneficial enzymes to your diet. For more information on this topic see the following articles

Well I must say.
After spending a couple of days getting used to the UDK I can safely say it trumps Source in every way imaginable.
Lighting is much more complex and yet at the same time it is so much easier. Models (meshes) can be RESIZED!!!!! Thank god for that! The content browser is just a ton more useful over all. Hell even applying textures is easier.
I have a feeling this is the start of a long relationship with the Unreal Engine for me. So long Source. You proved an able stepping stone.

I know its unusual for me to be posting this early in the morning but I made this card last night and had to wait until this morning to photograph it, and as the recipient has a birthday tomorrow I need to get it in the mail today! That being said, apologies for the not so great picture, my usual photography spot in the flat isn't so bright at this time of day!
I have made this card for this week's Less is More challenge...its the dreaded one layer challenge and this time Chrissie and Jen want to see numbers used on our creations.
I have very little in the way of number stamps, and absolutely nothing in my die collection so my mind went a completely blank at first. Then I had an idea and this is what materialised...
I started by printing a large number 3 on some thin paper and then cut it out as neatly as possible so I was left with a stencil. I wanted to use my Clearly Besotted Stamps 'Basic Stripes' set to create a kind of tartan effect. The stamps are quite long so I gave the stencil a wide border to cover up the base card. I've tried stamping through a stencil made of card before and it didn't work too well, so I used fairly thin paper to ensure the ink would reach the edges nicely. I started with the medium width stripe stamp and stamped the vertical blue lines. I then followed this with the wide stripes in orange and the thin stripes in the darker blue. This card is for a boy which is why I chose two blue shades, I then chose to use orange for a pop of colour, this being the opposite of blue. I then inked up the 'today' stamp in the same lighter blue shade. To finish, I used my corner rounder scissors to echo the curviness of the number 3. Unfortunately, by using thin paper for my stencil some of the ink blotted through onto the base card so the image isn't as clean as I had hoped but overall I'm happy with it :)
Materials used:
- Stamps: Clearly Besotted Stamps - Basic Stripes; Dovecraft - Numbers ('today')
- Ink: Versa Color - Cyan, Orange and Indigo
- Tools: Fiskars Corner Edgers - Rounder
I'm really pleased with how this turned out and there are some great entries already in the challenge gallery. One layer cards certainly take a lot of thinking about but its amazing what can be created.
As always, thanks so much for popping by and I hope to see you again soon.

When we were in Tokyo, we visited Osuri Restaurant, a Korean Fusion Restaurant located around Omotesando, precisely in Gaienmae, Tokyo, Japan. It wasn't difficult to find this place because we had browsed and checked out the location from the GPS while we're still at the hotel that morning. We've stored the locations in our mobile phones and just follow the map. From the Gaienmae station, we took the exit through Gate 3 and walked heading to A&J Burger. Right when we saw the brown building with mural art at the intersection of the traffic light, we turned right and just walked straight. Not far from there, we found OSURI Restaurant exactly on the right side. Yay! We're quite surprised because the restaurant itself wasn't big, yet so comfortable inside. There are only a few tables available inside, and we were lucky to get a place to sit near the window.
The fact that Lunch menus in Japan are relatively cheaper than dinner made us hunt down several famous spots to have lunch in Japan based on our research and some recommendations from Japan's foodblogger. We reached the OSURI Restaurant around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the place was quite full that day.
They offered us a Lunch Menu where most of them written in Japanese. Ha-ha.. Luckily my husband could read some of the Hiragana and Katakana, and we decided to order Samgyetang (Korean Chicken Soup) and Bulgogi Bibimbap. If you come for dinner, they will give you a different menu.
Samgyetang (Korean Chicken Soup), ¥1200
(with convertion rate 1 ¥ = Rp. 107, equal to IDR 128.000,-)
Samgyetang, which is often referred to as the Korean chicken soup with Ginseng, is a traditional Korean dish served during the summer. Koreans believe that in order to win the hot weather they have to eat hot food (hot temperatures and not spicy). Well, I ordered this one, not because of it, but since I rarely find this in Jakarta. It looked appealing from the menu. The chicken soup was slightly creamy in texture, very rich and tasty. They use a young chicken, boiled together with a high-quality ginseng, various medical herbs, and garlic cloves to create a flavorful and energizing soup. The chicken meat was so tender, tasty, and the balance of flavors were so good!! This set menu served with a choice of white or brown rice, with several bite-sized side dishes, clear soup, and a small dessert. A must try!
Bulgogi Bibimbap, ¥1200
(with convertion rate 1 ¥ = Rp. 107, equal to IDR 128.000,-)
Bibimbap is one of my all-time favorite dishes. It's also a signature Korean dish that we usually find in every Korean restaurant anywhere. Seasoned mixed vegetables (spinach, bean sprouts, carrots, etc.) and bulgogi minced meat served with a bowl of rice in a hot stone pot, topped with a beautiful egg yolk. As usual, we have to mix all the ingredients well in the bowl before we eat the Bibimbap. The rice became crispy, the meat was tender, and the gochujang sauce was excellent!
What we have tried at OSURI Restaurant was delicious! If you are near Gaienmae, this could be a best option for lunch. Friendly staff, comfortable place, and affordable price for the big portions of lunch set, truly worth for everyone to visit. Don't forget to visit Aoyama Flower Market Tea House which is also a must visit near Omotesando. The Aoyama Flower Market was a lovely tea house I've ever seen. A combination of florist with a tea house where the fresh scent of flowers greets us. Read more about this little gem at Aoyama Flower Market Tea House by Myfunfoodiary.
