The most consistent sunfish and crappie action has taken place during the morning and evening hours in eight to 12 feet of water. The key is to drill a lot of holes and stay on the move with lakes such as Le Homme Dieu, Geneva and Ida providing the best panfish activity.
Black jigs and Eurolarvae have produced sunfish on Clearwater Lake in less than 10 feet of water. Look to the north bay on Sugar Lake for sunfish in six to 10 feet of water. Crappies remain suspended over 30 to 40 feet of water on lakes such as Cedar, Granite, Pleasant and Clearwater. The evening hours seem to be best for bigger crappies.
Sunfish remain suspended over 17 to 20 feet of water on lakes such as South Turtle, East Lost, and West Battle. You'll also find suspended crappies in 18 to 22 feet of water on West Battle and Bass Lake. Tullibee action remains strong on Pickerel Lake and Mollie Stark Lake. Most of these fish are suspended over deep pockets and being taken on waxworms.
Gilstead Lake and Lake Rabideau are kicking out bluegills in 15 to 20 feet of water and some good-sized crappies during the evening hours in 30 to 40 feet. The bigger fish continue to be suspended. Blackduck Lake remains a safe bet for perch. Even though you'll have to sort through some small fish, there is a good number of big perch scattered between eight and 20 feet of water. Waxworms and jigs or small jigging spoons and minnow heads is producing better numbers of bigger fish.
Glow jigs tipped with waxworms or small minnows are producing suspended crappies in 18 to 30 feet of water on lakes such as Gladstone, Round and Margaret. Sunfish continue to be caught on Eurolarvae and glow jigs in six to 16 feet of water on Nisswa Lake, Lake Edwards and the Highway 371 Bay on North Long Lake.
Perch are hitting in 12 to 20 feet of water on Cass Lake and Pike Bay Lake. Large fathead minnows or Kastmasters and minnow heads are working best. Try Stony Point, south of Star Island or West Cedar Bar on Cass. The northeast end of LeRoy's Bar and the hump has been best in Pike Bay. Allen's Bay on Cass is producing bluegills in 25 feet of water, and you'll find crappies in 30 feet on Kitchi Lake, Sucker Lake and Midge Lake after dark.
There's a very good sunfish bite taking place from Sunset Point all the way to Whispering Bay on South Center Lake in six to 10 feet of water. The south end of Chisago Lake is producing sunfish during the day and crappies after sunset in 30 feet of water. Work the weedbeds on North Center Lake for sunfish throughout the day in eight to 10 feet of water.
Work the narrows on Fish Lake for bluegills in 10 to 12 feet of water. There's a decent crappie bite taking place during the evening hours on Caribou Lake in 14 to 16 feet of water. There's also been a few crappies caught in recent days from Comstock Lake in 12 feet of water. Coho salmon are still an option along the north shore of Lake Superior, but the wind shifted some ice toward shore making it difficult to fish.
Waxworms or minnows are producing crappies and perch on Lake Sissiton in 14 to 16 feet of water. Look to South Silver Lake with waxworms in 10 to 12 feet of water for crappies and sunfish.
Lake Mazaska is kicking out bluegills and crappies in 16 to 18 feet of water. There's also a decent bluegill bite taking place on Shields Lake in nine to 12 feet of water during the day. The 12- to 14-foot weed edges of Hunt Lake started holding active panfish, which have been most active during the evening hours.
The main basin of Bowstring Lake is worth noting for perch during the day and crappies at night in 21 to 25 feet of water. Bass Lake is producing sunfish in six to 16 feet of water, while there's a steady crappie bite on Spider Lake in 22 to 26 feet of water. Look for suspended panfish over 40 feet of water on Gile Lake, but plan on doing quite a bit of sorting. Lake trout action remains strong on Big Trout Lake in 25 to 60 feet of water, depending on the time of day. Look shallower during the evening hours with tube jigs or tip-ups and ciscoes.
EAST - Big perch continue to be caught, but the bite hasn't been as consistent this week. The deep water, 32 to 38 feet, off the Blue Jug Flat and Boot Flat is holding fish as is the 40-foot hole off the Three Mile Flat. Jigging spoons tipped with waxworms or small minnow heads are working best. A few good-sized crappies started being taken in Isle Bay this week.
WEST - Some days the perch bite and other days it's tough to get a hit. When they go it's been really good off the deep sides of the Seven Mile and Eight Mile flats. Seguchie's Flat also has produced perch in 32 to 38 feet of water. Stay on the move until you find a school of bigger, more active fish.
The northern bays on Lake Minnetonka are producing sunfish during the day and crappies during the evening hours in 18 to 20 feet of water. Crappies continue to be found suspended on Lake Independence over 32 to 34 feet of water during the evening hours.
The best bite of the winter is reported from resorts along the south shore. The reefs, rocky structure, and mud flats have been the best options in 24 to 36 feet of water. The afternoon and evening hours have been the best with colored-glow jigs and minnow heads. Many anglers also noted that many of the walleyes they are catching have been suspended. At the Northwest Angle, look for walleyes and jumbo perch in 16 to 20 feet of water on the reefs south of Oak Island, Crowduck Island and Little Oak Island.
The perch bite remains inconsistent. Sugar Bar, Horseshoe Bar and Moses Bar are worth checking in 30 to 38 feet of water. You'll also find some active fish on top of these areas in 16 to 22 feet of water on certain days. Anglers continue to say there are perch "stacked" on the north end humps, but they can't get them to bite.
Perch and tullibee action has been limited on Leech Lake. An occasional consistent perch report comes off the shallow humps in Walker Bay and off Pine Point in 12 to 15 feet of water, but for the most part, it's been slow. Sunfish and crappies have started biting better on lakes such as Garfield and Welsh in 14 to 16 feet of water.
Crappies continue to be pulled from the narrows of Madison Lake. The best bite takes place during the evening hours in 30 to 35 feet of water. St. James Lake is providing steady sunfish action in six feet of water with waxworms. Baker's Bay and Mud Bay on Lake Washington are giving up sunfish and crappies in 10 to 16 feet of water during the morning and evening hours.
McGREGOR AREA
Bellhorn Bay on Big Sandy Lake remains the area's best bet for crappies in 12 to 14 feet of water. Sunfish action remains steady on Rat Lake in 12 feet of water throughout the day. Look for tullibees on the northwest end of Big Sandy over 20 to 25 feet of water.
Small sucker minnows have been the ticket for catfish on the Mississippi River. Lake Constance is producing sunfish and crappies in 10 to 15 feet of water. The north end of Little Maple Lake is a safe bet for sunfish in 10 to 12 feet of water. Most small lakes have started giving up panfish in less than 15 feet of water, especially early and late in the day.
The best option the for bigger walleyes is on the east end of the lake. Grindstone Island and American Narrows have been best in 38 to 40 feet of water. Look to Sand Bay for walleyes and some suspended crappies over 30 feet of water. Ciscoes remain the best option for northern pike in 24 feet of water throughout the Rainy Lake City area.
Crappie success depends who you talk with. Some groups catch limits, while others don't do as well. Staying mobile seems to provide better results than sitting over the same holes all day. The best reports continue to come from the southwest side of the lake in 14 feet of water. Doodle Bugs or Glow demons and minnows are working best.
White, plastic ringworms with blue or red tails have provided steady sauger action on the Mississippi River. The dam area remains the best option in 17 to 25 feet of water. More walleyes have been caught in shallower water, close to shore on jigs and minnows.
Look to Grand Lake for crappies in 25 feet of water during the evening hours. There's also some bigger sunfish showing up on Grand, to the left of the access, in 14 feet of water. Minnows are turning catfish and crappies on Horseshoe Lake in 20 to 25 feet of water. Look to Pearl Lake for numbers of small sunfish in 12 to 14 feet of water. A few crappies can be had on Pearl, straight out from the access in 14 feet of water as well. Sporadic crappie action is being reported from Rice Lake, mainly after dark, in 17 to 22 feet of water. Look for the bays on Rice to start producing sunfish as well.
NORTHEAST METRO - The power plant area of the St. Croix River started producing numbers of white bass on #3 Jigging Rapalas. Look for sunfish on Lake Peltier in five to 10 feet of water and some crappies during the evening hours in slightly deeper depths. The north end of Big Marine Lake is worth noting for crappies in 20 to 30 feet of water and there's an evening crappie bite taking place in the deep holes of Big Carnelian Lake as well.
WEST METRO - There's a shallow sunfish bite taking place on Duck Lake during the morning and afternoon hours. Prior Lake continues to produce sunfish in 17 feet of water throughout the day. You'll find suspended crappies on Lake Sarah over 40 to 45 feet of water. At Lake Waconia, sunfish and crappies continue to be taken along the 12- to 16-foot weed edges.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Traditionally, the GLAD conference has offered an opportunity for the art, design and media community to share ideas and learn about innovative teaching and learning practices. With an increasing national debate on the meaning of excellence in teaching and learning and the introduction of the 'Teaching Excellence Framework' later this academic year, the 2016 GLAD conference will be looking out beyond the boundaries of art and design education in higher education. We will be inviting along new voices to enrich the debate and promote creative exchange.
Date: Friday 26th February 2016
Venue: MacDonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham
Time: One-Day Event starting at 10.00 and finishing at 4.30pm.
Keynote address by Dr Claire MacDonald
Interdisciplinary collaboration in arts education has been an integral part of pedagogy since the mid-1960s, and its effect on the wider culture has been profound. Whilst the history is long, what we mean by interdisciplinary collaboration — its vision, methods and means — changes in each generation. This talk will consider what is at stake for us now, in the turbulent global context we currently experience, when we consider the nature and impact of interdisciplinary collaboration. We will hear about unlikely partnerships and long-term exchanges, and look at the who, where and how of new kinds of conversations and projects.
Dr. Claire MacDonald is a writer, educator and cultural leader with thirty years experience in the arts and university sectors. She holds a PHD in Critical and Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, has led arts programmes in the UK and USA and consulted on arts and pedagogy in European arts education programmes. She was a founding editor of the journal Performance Research, and has written widely on artistic practice and pedagogy, feminist arts practice and collaboration. Recent publications include 'All Together Now: Performance and Collaboration', in D. Hedddon and J. Klein Histories and Practices of Live Art (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and Utopia: Three Plays for a Postdramatic Theatre (Intellect 2015). She is currently convenor of the MA Performance Making at Goldsmiths College University of London, and from April 2016 will be a Visiting Research Fellow at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

The 2014 DeMatha Stags football team is rearranging the record book, and looking forward to a match-up against Gonzaga.
What a win! When the Stags fully click, the rest of the WCAC needs to look out. As evidenced by Friday night's 70-32 win over McNamara, DeMatha put together an explosive offense and tough, playmaking defense and elite speed.
With the score 70-32 — should be the most total points scored in a DeMatha game — ever.
— DeMathaHighSchool (@DeMathaCatholic) October 18, 2014
Expect much more this week from head coach Elijah Brooks, and it will be tough for the coach to pick his Players of the Week after such a big win!

Remember my muffin tin advent calendar?
Well this year instead of tucking candy inside of it I have put together special activities for the girlies.
On Sunday we went and got our tree and today we made Derek, the indoor snowman.
(S named him, not sure why that name but that's what it is)
He was super easy and cheap to make.
I just went and bought a plain white pillow (around $3-$4) and tied string around it to make a neck as well as sewed the four corners in to make it more rounded. The girls picked buttons for the face and chest as well as the scarf and hat.
It was actually quite fun! The girls played around me as I quickly sewed on the buttons. They love the finished product and couldn't wait to show hubby when he came home.
I'm definitely looking forward to the fun stuff I've planned for the other 22 days!
Kind of gives me a reason to post this month as I've been busy busy making gifts that I won't be able to share until after Christmas. And believe me there will be a lot to share...I've been really trying to stick to the 100% home made Christmas this year.
Happy Monday!

There are not too many companies out there that would even consider the thought of taking on Amazon, especially a company that is only a few years old. That is exactly what Kate Hudson and her company Fabletics are doing, and in three short years the company has crushed the fashion market online, despite Amazon commanding over 20% of that space. In just a few short years, Fabletics has made over $250 million and they are showing no signs of slowing down.
When Kate Hudson was asked how she was able to succeed in fashion industry where others have crashed and burned, she credits her success to the reverse-showrooming technique her company employs. This business model makes it easier for women to buy active-wear, whether in her stores or online, it really doesn't matter to Hudson. She says it is all about convenience, high-quality active-wear, and low pricing. Women can walk into the retail stores, open an account, then try on anything they want without the pressure to buy anything.
Here is where the success of her company lies. Hudson says that when women get home at night and can relax, they return to the Fabletics website and can see everything they tried on in the store. Now they can buy with a clear head, or continue shopping now that they know what sizes and styles fit them best. Unlike Amazon, women get to see the merchandise, touch it, put it on, and then make a more informed buying decision. Her frustrations with buying clothing online, only to return it because it did not fit correctly was part of her thinking in the reverse-showing process.
So how can this simple technique turn a company from nothing to a quarter billion dollar company in a few years? You have the backing of a famous celebrity who everyone knows combined with the subscription mechanics that makes it a breeze for women to shop online and get high-quality active-wear without any of the hassle.
Here is how it works, open an account either online or in the retail outlet. Fill out the Lifestyle Quiz, then each month you will see a new item chosen to match you perfectly in the cart. You can buy it, cancel it, or keep shopping, nothing ever ships to you without your permission. Ease of shopping, low pricing, and top quality active-wear, the key to the success of Fabletics.
Win a surprise for your squad! Post pictures of you and your squad using #FableticsSquad & #Contest in the caption for a chance to win the ultimate squad surprise ?????????? US only. 1 winner and up to 4 friends will be chosen and notified via DM every Tuesday. See official rules ?? http://bit.ly/FableticsSquad

The 'I CARE' hand which is our school logo reflects our ethos and values and this was a result of a large discussion between staff and children during an activity week when we imagined ourselves attempting to create a new life for ourselves on another planet. The activity involved children and staff thinking about the qualities we would need to succeed and survive!
This then led us to thinking about the key learning attributes we would need in order to become good learners enabling us to become successful people! From the huge lists of attributes we then narrowed it down to the five words we have on our hand.
Iam REFLECTIVE, COLLABORATIVE, AMBITIOUS, RESILIENT and ENTHUSIASTIC
These words embody everything that we do in school and are used by the children and staff on a regular basis. Children are rewarded for showing these attributes in Celebration Assembly on a Friday.

"If they move, kill 'em!" Beginning and ending with two of the bloodiest battles in screen history, Sam Peckinpah's classic revisionist Western ruthlessly takes apart the myths of the West. Released in the late '60s discord over Vietnam, in the wake of the controversial Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and the brutal "spaghetti westerns" of Sergio Leone, The Wild Bunch polarized critics and audiences over its ferocious bloodshed. One side hailed it as a classic appropriately pitched to the violence and nihilism of the times, while the other reviled it as depraved. After a failed payroll robbery, the outlaw Bunch, led by aging Pike Bishop (William Holden) and including Dutch (Ernest Borgnine), Angel (Jaime Sanchez), and Lyle and Tector Gorch (Warren Oates and Ben Johnson), heads for Mexico pursued by the gang of Pike's friend-turned-nemesis Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan). Ultimately caught between the corruption of railroad fat cat Harrigan (Albert Dekker) and federale general Mapache (Emilio Fernandez), and without a frontier for escape, the Bunch opts for a final Pyrrhic victory, striding purposefully to confront Mapache and avenge their friend Angel.

The Wild Bunch (1969)
From The Daily Movie Wallpaper
The movie opens with a fabulous and bloody 15 minute shoot out including trampled bodies, slow motion, and all the good stuff. Before the shooting had started, you could see some town kids at the side of the road torturing some ants with some scorpions, or vice versa. You knew you were watching a brilliant movie when after the long opening shoot out the kids, pretty much unimpressed, go back to their previous occupation, and step the torture up a notch by burning both, scorpions and ants. The movie is set against the background of the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
1910 - 1920
From emersonkent.com
The original idea of the Mexican Revolution was to overthrow the Diaz Regime. However, things spun totally out of control. Historian John Womack, Jr. sums up the chaos of the Mexican Revolution in his book Zapata and the Mexican Revolution, "The revolutionaries won. The question was: Which revolutionaries?"
Director Sam Peckinpah makes it raw and might be too strong for you. And he's not done with you just yet. The shoot out aftermath provides further inside into the flexibility of human morals. Right next to children who are running to a bloody corpse, yelling "Daddy, Daddy", folks are robbing the dead and bickering over who gets to keep what.
The movie is, first of all, about old and worn men. Holden and his fellow actors (Ernest Borgnine, Warren Oates, Edmund O'Brien, Ben Johnson and the wonderful Robert Ryan) look lined and bone-tired. They have been making a living by crime for many years, and although Ryan is now hired by the law, it is only under threat that he will return to jail if he doesn't capture the bunch. The men provided to him by a railroad mogul are shifty and unreliable; they don't understand the code of the bunch.
And what is that code? It's not very pleasant. It says that you stand by your friends and against the world, that you wrest a criminal living from the banks, the railroads and the other places where the money is, and that while you don't shoot at civilians unnecessarily, it is best if they don't get in the way. The two great violent set-pieces in the movie involve a lot of civilians. One comes through a botched bank robbery at the beginning of the film, and the other comes at the end, where Pike looks at Angel's body being dragged through the square, and says "God, I hate to see that," and then later walks into a bordello and says, "Let's go," and everybody knows what he means, and they walk out and begin the suicidal showdown with the heavily armed rebels. Lots of bystanders are killed in both sequences (one of the bunch picks a scrap from a woman's dress off of his boot), but there is also cheap sentimentality, as when Pike gives gold to a prostitute with a child, before walking out to die.
(Chicago Sun-Times Inc.)
A lotta folks'll tell you this is the best Western ever, and they've got their reasons. It's an All-Timer for sure. It's about a group of old gunfighters in the early 1900's who've been around so long that they're just out-dated, obsolete in the changing "Old West". So they're gonna pull one last job and then retire to Mexico, chased by another crew with badges, but then they get pulled into taking sides in the Mexican civil war for money, and it all spirals into a great big crazy bloody bullet-filled finale (One of the greatest final sequences ever). It's got some cheesy stuff in it too, you know, old-movie cheese in parts, but the whole thing's punched up with these dark themes of loyalty and betrayal and brutality and survival and extinction. And then there's the violence. Especially for its time, this flick took the gunfights and bullet-wounds to new artistic extremes. The director, Sam Peckinpah, who'd made a more "classical" western 7 years before this (1962's Ride the High Country), was pullin' out all the stops and pullin' no punches in directing this one. During the gunfights, he so artfully mixes and matches different shots of different speeds (slo-mo) to put together amazing sequences of what was at the time widely dubbed "balletic violence". It's harsh, brutal, and yes, beautiful. With great performances, especially from two worn-out-looking old pros, William Holden and Robert Ryan on opposite sides of the same dinosaur-outlaw coin. Dig into this one for sure if you never have before.

Leader of a gang of bank robbers
From Alt Film Guide
From Chicago Sun-Times Inc.
Peckinpah's film is majestic in so many ways. Visually speaking, it's a remarkable window on the American past (thanks to D.P. Lucien Ballard) — every shot teems with life, yet is tinged with an elegiac beauty. Peckinpah's vision is vast, dense with incident and complexity of character, and a truly tragic sense of existence. And the performances are remarkable, from Ryan to Ernest Borgnine as Holden's old friend Dutch, to a tremendous supporting cast that includes Peckinpah regular L.Q Jones, Strother Martin, Emilio Fernández, Ben Johnson, Warren Oates, and the great Albert Dekker. At the center of the movie is Holden, making his entrance into modern American cinema and creating in Pike Bishop one of its most lasting characters. "Whether it's too violent or not I simply don't know," said Peckinpah. "I tried to make it as tough as I know how." Pauline Kael famously and aptly declared that The Wild Bunch was a "traumatic poem of violence, with imagery as ambivalent as Goya's."

From silentfilmstillarchive.com
A machine-gun massacre provides the fitting climax to Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch -- a grim classic that shattered the silver screen's romanticized vision of the American West. Its fatalism and graphic violence were, even in 1969, a shocking break from the bloodless duels and selfless heroics of, say, High Noon.
Set in 1913, The Wild Bunch is armed with advanced firepower and, consequently, body counts usually not seen in Westerns. The mechanized brutality of World War I was, of course, only a year away for the film's gang of antiheroes; the movie's opening bank robbery -- a bloodbath courtesy of semiautomatic pistols, not available to the Peacemaker-toting gunslingers of yore -- set the stage for the coming carnage.
But while gruesome forebodings of trench warfare and industrialism spatter the picture -- there's even a Model T used as a torture machine -- it's really the cloud of a later conflict, the Vietnam War, that casts its gloom on the movie's psychological palette. Filmed in '68 (the year when a record-high 16,589 American soldiers died), The Wild Bunch was informed by the real-life military violence, news of which was being reported on American TV screens daily. Vietnam informed Peckinpah's assault on viewers and should be remembered by contemporary audiences confronting the movie's phantasmagoria of senseless brutality.

Images from DVD Beaver
From the opening sequence, in which a circle of laughing children poke at a scorpion writhing in a sea of ants, to the infamous blood-spurting finale. Peckinpah completely rewrites John Ford's Western mythology - by looking at the passing of the Old West from the point of view of the marginalized outlaws rather than the law-abiding settlers. Though he spares us none of the callousness and brutality of Holden and his gang, Peckinpah nevertheless presents their macho code of loyalty as a positive value in a world increasingly dominated by corrupt railroad magnates and their mercenary killers (Holden's old buddy Ryan). The flight into Mexico, where they virtually embrace their death at the hands of double-crossing general Fernandez and his rabble army, is a nihilistic acknowledgment of the men's anachronistic status. In purely cinematic terms, the film is a savagely beautiful spectacle, Lucien Ballard's superb cinematography complementing Peckinpah's darkly elegiac vision.
(Excerpt from TimeOut Film Guide by NF at DVD Beaver)
The movie was photographed by Lucien Ballard, in dusty reds and golds and browns and shadows. The editing, by Lou Lombardo, uses slow motion to draw the violent scenes out into meditations on themselves. Every actor was perfectly cast to play exactly what he could play; even the small roles need no explanation. Peckinpah possibly identified with the wild bunch. Like them, he was an obsolete, violent, hard-drinking misfit with his own code, and did not fit easily into the new world of automobiles, and Hollywood studios.

Valletta dazzles thousands at opening of European Capital of Culture
|Email item
|Print item
The opening ceremony was held yesterday for Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture.
Thousands of people visited the capital to watch a spectacular day and night of events held throughout the streets and main squares of the city.
The Rise of the Tritons was a large-scale show by the theatrical group La Fura dels Baus, directed by Pep Gatell, which celebrated the newly-restored Triton Fountain with breath-taking aerobatic choreography, puppetry, lighting, and soundscape.
St John's Co-Cathedral steps saw a spectacular performance by a choir made up of more than a hundred singers, led by Pamela Bezzina.
Elfejn u Tmintax was accompanied by innovative lighting effects by Mad About Video, which illuminated the façade of the centuries old building.
Over this coming year there are more than 140 projects and 400 events included in the programme, organised around three main themes: `Island Stories,' `Future Baroque' and `Voyages.'
Around 1,000 local and international artists, curators, performers, workshop leaders, writers, designers, choirs and film-makers will be involved, and celebrations will continue throughout the year across the islands of Malta and Gozo.
The Government has said 200 out of the 400 events will take places outside Valletta, 28 of which will be held in Gozo during Valletta 2018.Photographs by Alain Salvary

How would you like to earn between RM8,000 to RM100,000 to transfer your knowledge to just ONE other person who wants to know what you know?
That's not a typo. You can earn EIGHT THOUSAND to ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND RINGGIT or more, per person!
Not only that – your clients will fly in from overseas to learn from you – and you don't have to meet them in person to close the deal!
Sounds good?
Of course it does.
Because you need to get only ONE client per month to earn a very good living, instead of hundreds of customers per month if you're selling products at low prices.
Best of all, selling high-ticket products and services is EASIER than you think…
And of course there's a method to it.
Very, very few people know what this method is.
But you're in luck – because Edmund Loh knows.
In fact, his most recent client paid him RM111,000+ (that's ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND RINGGIT) — in ADVANCE!
All his other clients also pay him in advance so Edmund collects his money before he does any work!
She'll be flying in from the US to learn from him together with his other clients from the UK and Singapore!
And here's the good news. Edmund Loh is a Malaysian, and he started his "career" as an office boy.
If he can do it right here in Malaysia – there's really no excuse for you if you're an expert, coach, trainer or speaker of any sort (or you intend to be one of those).
Make no mistake – what Edmund will show you is mind-blowing stuff, which he won't be showing very often.
Here are some valuable takeaways…
- The 4 simple steps to building a solid RM100,000 – RM400,000 per month High Ticket business
- How to command premium prices of RM8,000, RM20,000, RM40,000 and even RM100,000…and get paid IN ADVANCE!
- WHY they would want to pay you such high amounts
- HOW to get the payment in advance
- HOW to get clients from overseas who you don't have to see in person, just online
- The powerful S.A.S. Approach to scaling your business so you can earn MORE and work LESS
- WHERE and HOW to get UNLIMITED High Paying clients (hint: they're everywhere)
- And much, much more.
- You don't need to be a bestselling author
- You don't need to be an international speaker
- You don't need to be a celebrity or a famous 'Guru'
- You don't need to do a TON of things (blogging, vlogging, SEO, etc.)

The Musandam Power Company has awarded Finnish engineering company Pöyry an engineer services agreement for the Musandam Independent Power Project (IPP)
According to the agreement, the design review of the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contractor documentation as well as technical and site supervision services will be carried out by the Finnish engineering consultant.
Pöyry's head of thermal power Raffael Schubiger said, "Pöyry have been very active in Oman. This order further demonstrates our commitment to this very important region and the trust that clients put in us. Pöyry is one of the world's leading power engineering companies and we are proud to have been selected by the Musandam Power Company in this interesting and challenging project."
The Musandam IPP is being established by Oman Oil Company and its South Korean partner LG International Corporation. The Musandam peninsula is separated from the rest of Oman, due to which its electricity grid is also independent from the Omani national grid. Being the sole power supplier, the Musandam IPP must also have very high reliability and availability. Its designed to run primarily with natural gas but also to accept diesel fuel as back-up.
The upcoming project is expected to substitute the existing diesel-powered generation facilities in the Omani governorate. The fast-track project is scheduled to be completed by the end of Q4 2016.

At Only 19 Years Old, Juan Soto Is Crushing It
Juan Soto became the fifth youngest player in baseball's live-ball era with a multi-homer game on Thursday.
The 19-year-old Nationals outfielder only started this season in Class-A ball, reports Deadspin.
In 20 games and 78 plate appearances, he's batting .344 with five homers and 11 RBI.
Soto is the youngest player with a multi–home run game since Andruw Jones in 1996.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone even had to give it to Soto, saying, "Strong kid."

Hi everyone! I've been super quiet on here lately and I've been meaning to tell you why:
A) I'm still sick as hell. I'm actually working on getting comfortable with the word disabled and the reality of the situation, since my doctors have essentially given up on me and told me this isn't getting better. Of course, I'm still going to continue advocating for myself and trying to get at least somewhat better, but I am also focusing more on how to have a fulfilling day to day life despite this reality, which brings me to...
B) Bruno and I built a website, it's called Textillia! We've been chipping away at it as time and energy allowed for over a year and finally launched it in mid-November - a super early Beta launch - lots yet to do but we wanted to let people start using it! For anyone who knits, the easy explanation is that it's a sewing site like Ravelry... Or maybe more accurately like what Ravelry was 8 years ago when it started out! Textillia is still a fresh-baked little website, but we have big plans for it!
This post is Part 1 in a 3-part series on my quest for a calmer mind. Part 2 on healing and boundaries is here, and part 3 on meditation and mindfulness is here.
I've lived with anxiety problems since I was a teenager. It took me years to figure out that's what was going on finally seek help for it, and even longer to fully understand why it was happening. It's only in the last two years, particularly the past year, that I've finally gotten a real handle on it and learned what it feels like not to be spinning around inside my head at a dizzying speed, day in and day out. This means approximately half of my life was spent in a haze of uncontrollable thoughts and anxiety. In my quest for a calmer mind, I've discovered several changes that have helped, and one of them is modifying how I use social media.
This spring, I took a month off from Facebook. Now for those who might not know, I use Facebook a LOT. I've got family and friends I want to keep in touch with spread around the world, and because of my health problems I rarely even see local friends in person. I'm a recluse, and these days Facebook is my main connection to the world. I also use a multitude of other social media, read blogs and news online, write online, etc. but Facebook is the BIG one. I can spend a lot of time on there, and it's not all well-used time. Much of it is what a friend of mine recently termed "scrolly-scroll", ie. where you find yourself zoned out and endlessly scrolling down the page.
In the spring, I did a Facebook fast. But as much as my Twitter usage has declined since back when I was working in tech, it easily substitutes my usual scrolly-scroll of choice. Nothing else sucks me in like those two platforms. YES, they are an effective way to connect and engage. YES, they are a convenient way to keep up to date on things. There are tons of positive things about them! But they change the way we live our lives, and not always in a good way. I know they change me. And over the last year or so, I've developed the distinct sense that they change how my brain functions when I use them too much.
Hello and happy late spring!
I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but it's not because I've grown tired of writing online, or any of that nonsense... I still love having a way to "talk" to you and share, and with Facebook "pages" going down in flames, this feels like the right place to keep doing that. The reason it's been quiet is because Bruno and I were giving my site a spruce up! A new design that's more colourful and has an inviting vibe.
Since my creative energy started flowing again over the last several months, I've been frittering a lot of time away on various projects. Writing Chronically Yours, sewing, drawing, painting, working on my 365 project. That on top of the usual things I do these days: self care (sleep/eat/exercise as able; go to appointments/get tests/take supplements and medications), house stuff, garden maintenance; rest, rest, rest... I've been feeling a little all over the place. Not exactly what I was going for.
I had so many favourite moments the week before last at DrupalCon Chicago, I started jotting down a list so I wouldn't forget them all. Here are some highlights...
So first, a little catch up from before my last posts... back in June, I went to Saskatoon for a weekend to go to the wedding of one of my next door neighbours from where I grew up. The Sulatyski family lived next door to me my entire Saskatoon-life (plus a couple years after I moved to Vancouver), and are like my second family... sometimes I feel like I grew up more Ukrainian than any other culture!
What's that? Oh yes, that is the smell of sweet, sweet VICTORY!!!
And just like that it's over. It's a small miracle that I actually made it to San Francisco for DrupalCon SF. As I mentioned before, I caught the flu just over a week and a half before I was supposed to leave for the conference, and was SOOOOO sick. I got a fever, then the worst cough I think I've had since I was a kid. My mom saved my ass and came out and stayed with me for a week, I hardly left my bed the entire time. She went back to Saskatoon about three days before I was supposed to leave for SF, but I was still pretty sick, and was about 5 days into a week of having lost my voice. Making the con did NOT look promising.
This one's all Drupal folks, cause that's pretty much all I've done for the last two and a half weeks. This is what happened when I asked the question, "Is there some reason we don't just fix it all?" I did not know then what I was getting myself into...
A small inconsistency
It all started in late summer, when I was testing some Drupal 7 core patches for moving fields and image handling into core, and at some point clicked my way into the Help pages. There was a blatant typo on the Node module help, and then a change in language that needed to be made, so on August 1st, 2009 I created an issue for it.
And.... the busiest of months has come to an end. Exhales.
October was a great if not overbooked month. Between BarCamp Vancouver, the Drupal 7 Conrib Sprint, and the big PNW Drupal Summit in Seattle last weekend, I had only one weekend off the entire month (on which there was also Drupal Camp Portland, but I decided that would be pushing it). I made up for the past month in a big way this weekend, going out to socialize only once (last night for Halloween), sleeping in till 10am both mornings, doing laundry, cleaning my bathroom, cooking, reading, chatting with my folks on the phone, and generally being a homebody.
Lots of things to catch up on...
BarCamp Vancouver 2009
BarCamp was this weekend - I was so-so on it last year, it was still fun, but not many sessions really did it for me, so I came in with relatively low expectations, thinking that maybe I'd just been to too many Camps and Cons now for them to still inspire and interest me... I am happy to report that I actually had a superb time, and am not too old and jaded to enjoy these events. :-) The organizers did a great job (thanks a bunch, you are all awesome) and everything went off flawlessly. Enjoyed the sessions I went to, and there were many more I wish I could have made it to (most sessions are listed here, some have notes/slides).
