On the 21st of May, I had the opportunity to once again visit Funcom HQ and meet up with their Product Manager, Jorgen Tharaldsen. As I showed up at their office building, I was met by an eager Jorgen who asked me to follow him into the conference room. His words were: "here, let me show you something cool!". After sitting down, Jorgen brought up the big screen in the conference room and told me that they had just recently created a new trailer for Age of Conan - one with some darker undertones in the sense of battle, blood, metal and all the goodness that goes into the Conan world. With a huge grin on my face I nodded to Jorgen as he said that this trailer is to be released to the public in the upcoming weeks - I am certain you guys will like it!
As per usual, the workday over at Funcom is a busy and diligent process of adding the final touch to what we as gamers can expect to be the biggest MMO release of 2007. Next up was a brief video interview/demonstration of current iteration of combat in Age of Conan with Jason Stone - one of the lead developers of AoC's game play and combat system. While quickly taking us through the game interface and the "equipping" of abilities and potions on your interface as well as explaining some of the mechanics involved, the character which Jason used to demonstrate the game to us was level 50, and Jason went on to explain that due to his level he had 6 available "combo" slots to put combo attacks into.
For those of you who haven't seen combat in Age of Conan, it is a great improvement on current "industry standard" sword/magic combat systems. Besides having ability combos both as single player and in group, attacks have different positions on the opponent's body where they can hit. For example, you can swing your sword high, medium and low on your target.
Secondly, attacks are more like a frontal / side / rear cone style with a "real range" and swing radius in Age of Conan. What this essentially means is that if you have a huge two handed sword and you swing it in front of you, your attack will hit anything within its swing radius. To equate it to familiar "WoW" terms, think of a swing working with the dynamics of a Cone of Cold for example. There is one important point to note though, the damage of his attack gets split by the amount of targets it hits - meaning it will do full damage to 1 target and 1/3rd to each if you hit 3 targets.
The most amusing aspect of his demonstration, however, was when he mentioned that parts of their team had recently been to see the movie "300". The call had therefore been made: "we want 300 blood in AoC!". I need to clariy that while they are having fun with some excessive amounts of blood and gore in the current iteration of the game, this is not necessarily something that will go live. In other words, the developers are enjoying creating their game - and rightfully so.
That being said, we will have a video interview with Jason Stone up and available for your viewing pleasure within a week's time showing off all the goodness that we got to see - including 300's contribution to the game!
In other news, our visit at Funcom was very informative - not just about Age of Conan but also regarding The Secret World. While Jorgen was very reluctant to tell us too much about TSW, he did state the following: the game is going to run on the same game engine and technology as Age of Conan is, meaning that they do not need to do much game development in that sense for the game. Currently, their focus is world design and all the goodness that comes with this. He also informed us that one of their developers has a knack for creating a unique language/alphabet for each of their games, and that TSW would be no different. This means, of course, that hardcore lore and game RP'ers will be able to enjoy some extra tidbits of goodness around the game!
All in all, expect to see good stuff from Funcom here at Curse in the future!

Live on BBC 1 & 2: Sat 14.30 & 17.00: After a good victory last weekend, Wales can beat Argentina by 10+ points (10/11, bet365).
Beating England was a sweet victory for the Welsh and at 1/4 with Stan James, are expected to notch up another win, this time against Argentina.
Argentina bring a strong squad, many of the players who came 3rd at the last World Cup will be playing, but they remain 10/3 outsiders with Betfred to upset Wales.
The Welsh also have some returning players from injury, notably Adam Jones, Lee Byrne and Leigh Halfpenny, and with this being the last pre World Cup warm-up match, they will want to go out on a high.
Bet365 put 10/11 about Wales to win by 10 or more points, while it's 4/9 that the home side score the 1st try (Boylesports).
Later on in the evening, Ireland are 8/11 with Blue Square to topple France but it's the visiting French who could give you profit at 13/10 (Sportingbet) while Scotland are 10/11 with Betfred to beat Italy by 8 or more.

Threshold: Windows for the Neanderthal set
What's with all this excitement over Windows "Threshold"? I get it that Microsoft sort of fumbled the ball with Windows 8. I also recognize that the subsequent tweaks and retrofits (Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 Update 1, Windows 8.1 Not-Update-2, et al) are viewed by many as "too little, too late" to save the product.
However, I'm sensing a deeper disturbance in the force here. When it comes to Windows Threshold, there's a palpable aura of anticipation -- a kind of electric expectancy, and its emanating from what I like to call the "Neanderthal set".
You know the type. The IT dinosaurs. The throwbacks. The forty year old virgin basement dwellers who sneer at your iPad as they skulk by in the hallway, hunched over from the weight of their overstuffed LINO (Laptop in Name Only) cases like Quasimodo in a Polo shirt and boat shoes.
These people hate all things multi-touch, especially that dysfunctional, partial-birth abortion of an OS known as Windows 8.x. And now, with blood in the water from an endless stream of negative Windows 8.x media coverage, they sense impending victory in the form of Threshold.
With Threshold, Microsoft is coming full circle in its "mea culpa" tour by hosing-off the last traces of Sinofsky-stink. Start menu back? Check. Windowed "modern" apps? Check. A complete masking of all vestiges of Windows 8.x's controversial Start screen, Settings pages and Charms bar? Check, check and check.
In fact, by the time Microsoft is done gutting all of the default touchy-feeliness from Windows 8.x's successor, the product will be nearly indistinguishable from Windows 7 (aside from the whole "Aero-is-dead" thing). All of which is exactly what the Neanderthals want.
The problem is that they're wrong. I mean, really, really wrong. Windows doesn't need less multi-touch support -- it needs more. This is especially true if the platform is to remain relevant in a shifting Post-PC landscape. However, instead of looking forward -- by deepening Windows' multi-touch roots and touting the advantages of the upcoming touch-based Office for Windows devices -- Microsoft is looking backwards in a vain attempt to silence its critics and shore up a rapidly shrinking enterprise base.
To cite a political analogy, the Redmond behemoth is behaving like a wishy-washy, middle-of-the-road politician who's being forced to kowtow to an extreme (yet faithful) core when in reality they should be expanding their reach by embracing newer, more progressive positions on key issues.
History shows that few products (or politicians) succeed when they try to be all things to all people (though Mr. Obama comes close). Microsoft needs to stick to its original plan and focus on the future, not the past. And that means ignoring the cries of the Neanderthal base and restoring innovative multi-touch features, like the Charms bar.
Personally, I like the Charms bar concept. It provides a consistent location for app-specific settings and important, system-wide functions. But then I like a lot of things about the current Windows 8.x UI, including the Start page, snapped windows and even full-screen Internet Explorer. And lest my bona fides be questioned, I would point out that I've been writing professionally about all versions of Windows for over 20 years, and that I've also developed commercial software at every level of the Microsoft software stack.
In other words, if a died-in-the-wool, mouse-and-keyboard junky like me can evolve to embrace Microsoft's once bold multi-touch vision, so can other Neanderthals. Unfortunately, they're all too busy cutting the company off at the knees when in truth they should be rallying behind the one vendor who might actually get multi-touch "right". Because the alternative is more iOS, more Android, and more headaches for IT.

Women's roundup: Baylor clinches 14th straight 20-win season; Aggies prevail vs. LSU
WACO — Odyssey Sims scored 33 points with three 3-pointers, and No. 7 Baylor clinched its 14th consecutive 20-win season with an 81-64 victory over No. 12 Oklahoma State on Sunday.
The Lady Bears (20-3, 10-1 Big 12) have won 33 consecutive conference home games. They have won six in a row overall since their first consecutive losses in four years.
Sims, the nation's leading scorer at 30 points a game, was held to a season-low 17 points against the Cowgirls just two weeks ago.
She was 7-of-27 shooting without making a 3-pointer on eight chances from beyond the arc in 42 minutes in that game, but converted a three-point play with 3.8 seconds left in overtime for a 69-66 win.
In the rematch, Sims was 14-of-19 shooting. She had 19 points by halftime, matching her scoring total of the first game on a jumper with 1:23 left in the first half.
No. 19 Texas A&M 72, No. 16 LSU 67
In College Station, Courtney Walker scored 22 points, going 10-of-20 from the field and making a critical layup in the game's final minute.
With Texas A&M (18-6, 8-2 SEC) leading by a point, Walker made a layup with 54 seconds left to extend the Aggies' lead to 70-67. Jeanne Kenney then missed a jumper for LSU (18-6, 7-4), and Texas A&M made two free throws down the stretch to help seal the win.
Texas A&M held the Lady Tigers scoreless for the final 51/2 minutes of the first half, going on a 12-0 run that spanned into the beginning of the second and taking a 29-24 lead.

from The Lady, Supplement to The Queensland Figaro, Brisbane, Saturday,
W. GARGETTS, the local Postmaster, has been removed from Warwick to Pittsworth.
Much indignation has been expressed by the inhabitants of the land of black mud,
and a hastily signed petition was presented to the Postmaster-General, but
without effect. Mr. JEFFRIES succeeds him.
business men are none too plentiful but that the advent of a new man with a
solid claim to the title deserves at least a passing notice. Mr. John W.E. PUGH
has established himself at No 1 Queensland Mercantile Buildings,
Adelaide-street, Brisbane, as an accountant, auditor, financial agent, and
general commission agent. Mr. PUGH is a man of varied and ripe experience. His length of service as an accountant in the public departments of Queensland
confer on him a diploma that secures instant recognition; while his long
and intimate connection with large railway contracts, both in Queensland and New
South Wales, gives his services a peculiar value in special lines of business,
of which fact canny contractors and others will do well not to lose sight. As a
confidential man, Mr. PUGH may be implicitly trusted. When occasion requires
it, he can be inscrutable as a Sphinx and as dumb as an Egyptian mummy. To
utilise him as one's factor would be sort of religious duty, for the rents would
thus become a species of PUGH-rents.
Bernard MULLINS, of Clermont, one of the oldest and most respected residents of
that town, died on the 6th instant.
John EMMERSON, master of the schooner, Lark, of Sydney, and John HENDERSON, able
seaman, were drowned at Mackay, Q., on 30th April, in consequence of the
upsetting of a boat near the wharf.
Rev. T. BRASSINGTON, Wesleyan minister, tells a yarn about a woman in the
Never-Never country of Queensland, who fell on his neck and wept, saying, "
Oh, sir! you are the first minister I have seen for the last eleven years."
This is a highly refreshing incident of the Queensland Home Mission, and
deserves to be put alongside the story of the Cloncurry miner, who greeted a
travelling parson with the Sydney-Smithian welcome--" A parson? then, blow
my mullock ! {only this wasn't the precise oath used} you're the first old woman
I've met on the field. Lets' liquor.."
RISIEN, called by many " the father of Rockhampton," was thrown from a
buggy on the 6th instant, and broke his neck. RISIEN put up the first
house in Rockhampton in 1855.
Francis ORMOND, M.L.C., of Victoria, and a phenomenal philanthropist in that
colony, died at Pau, in the south of France, on the 5th instant. Mr. ORMAIND
and his wife left Victoria in December last on a European tour. The deceased was
59 years of age, having been born in the north-west of Scotland in 1830. He went
to Victoria as a lad of 10 years with his father, Captain ORMOND, in 1840. He
was a successful grazier, and became a reputed millionaire. He built the ORMOND
College; founded the Working Men's College in Melbourne; and instituted a Chair
of Music at the Melbourne University. His public benefactions during the last
twelve years have amounted to over £100,00. For seven years he represented the
South-Western Province in the Legislative Council of Victoria.
WOODS and old Cloncurry man, was found dead at the Two-mile Waterhole,
Cloncurry, on the 5th instant. He had been complaining of fever, and had quite
recently insured his life for £800. He always was lucky in his gambling
RALSTON, who was for many years secretary of the Australian Mutual Provident
society, and whose pensioning off caused a big rumpus among shareholders, died
on the 14th inst., at Sydney, aged 56 years.
DAVIS, one of the personal links between Queensland now and the old pioneer
settlement of Moreton bay, died on Tuesday last, aged 65 years. The deceased had
some remarkable adventure, and long sojournings with the blacks, and became very
familiar with many of their tribal dialects, an accomplishment which he turned
to good service by frequently acting as interpreter for aboriginals in the
Supreme Court. He used to keep a crockery shop in George-street, Brisbane, for
many years, and, though he was supposed to have retired from business, still
possessed a well-stocked warehouse in Burnett Lane. He had been ailing for some
days previous to his death, which was not, however, anticipated. I think, too,
he entered the Brisbane Hospital as a paying patient, about six months ago, but
his active and eccentric habits would not allow him to stay there more than a
couple of days.
from The Lady, Supplement to The Queensland Figaro, Brisbane, Saturday,
Captain and Mrs. GRAINGER, who have reside here for the last few years, left Townsville yesterday for Sydney, where they will in future live.
Mrs. A. RODGERS, who only lately returned from a twelve-months' trip to the mother country, is with her family, leaving the North to live in Tasmania, excepting for an occasional visit to Townsville, for the sake of "Auld Lang Syne," Mrs. RODGERS will not come North again; both Mrs. and Miss RODGERS find Townsville so dull after England that they are quite content to say good-bye to it for good.
Mrs. and Mr. T. LEMEL, of Charters Towers, who went home to England some eighteen months ago, are now on their way out by the P. and O. steamer " Oceana"; they will stay a month with friends in Sydney before returning to Queensland. Mr. LEMEL intends building a Townsville residence, and will live here during the winter months.
By the Taroba, due here about the 25th of this month, will arrive the gallant Major VINCENT who went away from here determined to kill; not being, however, able to find anyone to fight with he is returning in a more peaceable mood.

F. WALTON, of London, manufacturer, "
improvements in the manufacture of Mosaic floorcloth, and apparatus therefore."
Another of the few remaining links that connect us with the history of
Brisbane has been broken by the death of Mrs. SEXTON. The deceased lady died
last Saturday evening at her residence, South Brisbane. She was a native of
Peebles, Scotland, and was born in the very early years of the century. Soon
after marrying her late husband, Captain SEXTON, the vicissitudes of his
profession fixed her residence for some years in London and in France. By the a
dvice of Dr. LANG, the SEXTON'S with their young family, in the year 1849, took
passage to Moreton Bay in the ship Fortitude, a name identified with so many of
Brisbane's citizens, and so much of its history. In these early years Captain
SEXTON took part in much of the commercial and pastoral enterprise of Brisbane
and its neighbourhood. The name will recall kindly and pleasant remembrances
to most of our older inhabitants, with whom, as with all who knew her, the
deceased lady was a general favourite.
Another of the few
remaining pioneers of Brisbane, in the person of Mrs. James SMITH, late of
Elizabeth-street, died early on Sunday morning. At the time of Mrs. SMITH'S
arrival from Sydney { in 1843}, the trade of the infant port was served by an
occasional visit from a small coaster. On this occasion there were four other
passengers, one being the late Rev. Dean HANLY, who was coming to take over
his new parish, the Moreton Bay settlement--the " new parish of Brisbane "
then extending as far afield as Cape York. Trade and navigation were naturally
in a somewhat primitive state, hence the passengers had to tranship at the mouth
of the river and were brought on by boat to " Brisbane Town ." Mrs. SMITH had seen
the infancy, growth, and development of Queensland from the tiny settlement of the
early " forties" to a self-governing colony of half-a-million people. The deceased
was 83 years of age. She leaves a family of three grown-up children. She was one
of " Mrs. Chisholm's immigrants," and did her best to imitate that excellent woman's
kindliness to immigrant girls.
During the week the death of Mr. Howard St. GEORGE, a very old resident and
highly-respected civil servant, occurred at the Mansions, George-street. Mr. ST. GEORGE
had been suffering from bronchitis for some time past, and his death occurred at the
ripe age of 72 years. The deceased arrived in Queensland about 1862, where he had
purchased Rannes station. He entered the civil service in 1870 as assistant gold
warden, being promoted to warden in 1872, when he took charge of the Gilbert,
Western Creek, and Etheridge goldfields. He opened the Palmer goldfield in 1873,
and went as police magistrate to Cooktown in 1874. He occupied the same position
at Aramac in 1883, and was transferred to the position of warden on the Palmer
goldfield in 1884, where he remained until removed to Eidsvold in 1891. After
twenty-six years' service, Mr. ST. GEORGE retired in 1896. Coming of a good Irish
family, Mr. ST. GEORGE'S career in England was as honourable and distinguished as in
Queensland, taking his M.A. degree at Trinity College, Dublin. His mother was a
daughter of Major WOLESLEY, and cousin of the present Lord WOLSESLEY. Mr. ST.
GEORGE took a great interest in Masonry, and was a high office-holder in the craft.
A very old resident of the Oxley district, Mr. Thomas BERRY, on Saturday afternoon
met with an accident which unfortunately resulted in his death. Mr. BERRY, who,
although advanced in years, was still active had mounted a ladder to saw a branch
off a tree near his residence at Sherwood. While he was engaged in this work the
ladder slipped and Mr. BERRY fell to the ground, a distance of about 12ft. or 14ft.
The accident occurred about 5 o'clock, and for some time it did not appear that any
serious injury had been afflicted. Shortly after teatime, however, alarming symptoms
set in.
The many friends in Brisbane and elsewhere of Mr. Frederick G. COE, of Oxley,
will be surprised and pained to hear of his sudden death. which took place on
Sunday afternoon, after a very brief illness. Mr. COE, with his wife and daughters,
attended the Corinda assembly ball on Friday night, but did not himself take part
in the dancing. He was then apparently in good health. At the close of the dance,
at midnight, he drove to his home, near the old Oxley township, and on arrival had
a light supper. Immediately afterwards, however, he was seized with apoplexy,
and never regained consciousness. Dr. A. FRANCIS, who had also attended the ball,
was summoned with all possible haste from Sherwood, and Dr. SCHOLES, who is
a friend of the family, was telegraphed to, and drove down from Goodna. From
the first, however, the medical gentleman saw that the case was extremely critical,
and were able to hold out to Mrs. COE and her family but slender hopes. Mr. COE
as stated, did not again become conscious, and passed away at 2 o'clock on
Sunday afternoon. Mr. COE, who has been employed in the office of the Registrar
of Titles since 1883, was 51 years of age. He was of a genial, hospitable
disposition, and had a large circle of friends, who will not only regret his
untimely death, but feel the deepest sympathy for his widow and family. The
funeral takes place this afternoon at the Sherwood
Cemetery, at half-past 3 o'clock.

In the seventeenth century banns of marriage were forbidden
in church on slighter grounds than would justify such interference now. The
banns of Edward MORTON and Jane GODWIN at Frampton, in Lincolnshire, were
forbidden, on the grounds first, that MORTON was a stranger, ant that,
therefore, there was no knowing if he was married or single; and secondly,
because he was a poor man, and it was desirable " to secure the town from
any charge of him or his."
Perhaps, however, this excess of caution is better than the
recklessness of the HERRNHUTTERS, whose method of selecting husbands and wives
is as follows:-- " The men and women of marriageable age are collected in a
house with a suite of rooms, each opening into the other, the young men in one
end room and the young women in the other; then the doors from these two rooms
are thrown open into the middle room, which is perfectly darkened. After this
follows a sort of general scramble, or ' catch who can,' and whichever girl the
man catches becomes his wife." Of a different kind of interest is the
ceremony of reuniting man and wife after years of estrangement, recorded by the
register of St. Mary's Church, Bermondsey, 1604, with a form of solemn words
appointed for the renewal of vows.

Charlie Sheen's Monday hearing is delayed
If you were all lathered up for Monday's court hearing in Aspen for Charlie Sheen, where he would finally enter that plea bargain we've all been hearing he's going to enter, too bad. It's been postponed. Who does he think he is, Lindsay Lohan?
TMZ says the hearing is now scheduled for Aug. 2, which will be interesting, since he goes back to shooting Two and a Half Men the very next day. It'll be hard for him to serve jail time then, don't you think?
The site adds that no agreement has been reached during negotiations between Sheen's legal team and prosecutors. It was expected he'd serve anywhere from 17 to 30 days over his alleged domestic abuse charge, but given how things have been going for celebrities in the last week, don't surprised if he gets a year. Jon Cryer will have the show all to himself!

Carwyn Jones arrives in San Francisco for trade visit
First Minister Carwyn Jones says he hopes to open doors for Welsh businesses during a four-day trade mission to San Francisco.
Representatives of 18 IT, science and creative businesses arrived in California with him on Monday.
Mr Jones will meet political leaders and Silicon Valley businesses.
It is the latest in a series of overseas trips, which have prompted political opponents to call for proof of how they benefit the Welsh economy.
Speaking to the BBC recently, Mr Jones said an announcement would be made while he was in San Francisco "that will show that we are making progress", but he declined to give further details.
Mr Jones has previously spoken about the need for the Welsh government to have staff based in important foreign markets, including the west coast of America.
The Conservatives have called for reassurances that trade missions "deliver real investment for Wales and aren't just a vanity project to promote his own ego".
'Vitally important'
Mr Jones accused the Tories of "petty politics", saying it was essential to "go out there and sell yourself to the world".
He has recently been to Turkey and Ireland. In March he will be in New York and in June he will go to Japan.
During the four-day visit to San Francisco, the first minister will promote Wales as a place to do business when he meets company bosses and political leaders in the city and the hi-tech industries of Silicon Valley.
He will also have briefings from UK officials based in California.
"This is an opportunity to learn from this vibrant market and to seek out opportunities for Wales and Welsh companies," said Mr Jones.
"It is vitally important in my role as first minister that I seek to build relationships that will open doors for Welsh business.
"A number of Welsh businesses are here with me for this unique opportunity to explore the potential for Welsh businesses to tap into this market and explore investment opportunities."
He added: "International trade is vitally important for the Welsh economy and Welsh government overseas missions are tailored to help businesses make the most of the all the opportunities presented."
'High profile'
The value of Welsh exports to north America has improved over the last three years.
Wales exported £915m to north America in the third quarter of 2012, the most recent period for which figures are available. But that is down from more than £1bn for the same period in 2011.
One of the companies travelling with Mr Jones, Cardiff-based Rantmedia, makes apps for smartphones and tablets.
Its downloads were boosted recently after one of its apps was endorsed by Apple.
Rantmedia managing director Anton Faulconbridge said: "We aim to make the most of this publicity and build on our high profile during our visit to San Francisco where we have a number of interviews lined up with technology news outlets, gaming press and bloggers."

Introducing Kirsty and Matthew
Kirsty Butler, a 28-year-old banker, married builder Matthew Blundell, 29, at the Old Church in Napier on September 29.The pair lives in Wellington.
How did you meet: "I was 20 and Matty was 21, and every weekend it was traditional to head to the local pub on Friday and Saturday nights," Kirsty says. "We got to know each other from the various times bumping into one another at the pub and before we knew it we were an item. And the rest is history."
Tell us about the proposal: "It was Christmas eve and we were having some pre-Christmas drinks. Matty told me I was allowed to open one present. It was a huge box and weighed a tonne! I opened it with so much excitement until I saw the contents, boxes and boxes of nails. (He is really good at doing prank presents so this is not uncommon). I walked away saying very funny. He then said no please open this box of nails. After some persuading I did and saw the purple box Michael Hill Box. I still hadn't clicked what he was up to as in the past he has bought me charms for my charm bracelet that come in the same box. I opened it and screamed a little bit, and feel to my knees! He met me down on the ground and asked if I would marry him."
Location of wedding: "We had our ceremony and reception at The Old Church in Napier. What an amazing venue - words cannot describe it. The place sets the most amazing scene for a romantic wedding," she says. "Everything was fantastic and I couldn't fault a thing. Mel and Jacinda from the venue were the most helpful people in the months leading up to the wedding and on the day they were both there to make sure that everything ran smoothly, which it did."
Describe your wedding day: "It was the most fabulous day we could ask for and after two years of planning the day couldn't have been any better. Us girls started the day off with my Mum and Gran cooking breakfast. Then we went straight into hair and make up with a few glasses of Moet to help with preparations. Our make up was done by Candice from Embellish Me - she was amazing and made everyone feel absolutely gorgeous on the day. Our hair was done by my wonderful friend Deanna from Salon Cheveux who made the trip up all the way from Upper Hutt. The boys spent the day relaxing and enjoying a couple of beers. After the weather not behaving itself in the sunny Hawke's Bay we made the call to have the ceremony inside instead of the court yard. It turned out to be just as magical as it would have been outside as the venue has so much wow factor.
"Our guests were ready and waiting for me to walk down the aisle but there was a slight hold up as the groom and groomsmen had to quickly change sides at the altar as the hairdresser realised the bridesmaids hair was styled on the other side which had to be perfect for the photos! So that provided a few laughs for the guests. Everything ran smoothly from there.
"We then had photos taken while our guests were enjoying drinks and canapés. The rest of the night was filled with amazing food amazing company and some amazing dance moves thanks to the great band we had The Pulse."
The dress: "After spending many weekend going to all the dress shops in Wellington I had some what of an idea what I was after but couldn't find what I was looking for as nothing was quite perfect. I ended up looking on line and finding the dream dress. It was a bit of a risk but after sending my measurements through there was no turning back and I have to say when I arrived it was more than perfect. With a tulle bottom and beaded top with a sweetheart neck line it was surprisingly comfortable and didn't want the day to end so I could keep wearing it."
The flowers: "I had cream roses and freesias wrapped in cream satin for my bouquet and my bridesmaid had the same but with the black ribbon which looked perfect for the photos. They were just beautiful. I had a small idea of what I wanted but Kim from Lushka flowers was so helpful and produced exactly what I had in mind."
Highlight of the wedding: "The whole day! I loved all every minute of it and wouldn't change it for the world. Also having everyone that plays and important part in our lives all together at one time."
Was there any drama? "There was no drama on the day at all, everything ran smoothly, thank goodness."
The honeymoon: "We spent a week in Port Douglas. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a hectic six months. We did have one drama on the honeymoon that we can laugh about now. Matty likes to keep our passports safe so hit them under the kitchen sink in the hotel. The day before we were due to fly out I got them out to check our itinerary and discovered the sink had leaked and our passports were destroyed. A urgent phone call to the travel agent and we were on the next flight out to Sydney to get new passports. The bonus was we got to spend some time in Sydney and go shopping."
Your photographer and favourite photo? The photos were taken by Rochelle Withell, from Pure Images. "Rochelle was fantastic. The most creative photographer I could have come across. She made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and it felt like you had known her for many years. Rochelle was there from 1.30pm to capture everyone getting ready and was there up until the first dance at 9.30pm. She captured all of the special moments throughout the day and her photos tell a true story of what happened. My favourite photo if I really had to choose one (as I love them all) would have to be the one of Matty and myself on front of The Old Church with our shadows on the wall."

I had a full Tummy Tuck about 2 years ago, 9 months after I had twins via C-section. I was very unhappy with my results, because from the belly button down, it was really tight, but the area above my belly button still protruded with a diastasis. It also looked weird, especially after I ate. My plastic surgeon said he couldn't fix it.
Anyways, I am now 23 weeks pregnant again, and I'm hoping that it will loosen up my lower muscles to "match" the laxity of my upper abdominals. After this baby, I'm going to having a tubal ligation, and I want a "pretty" stomach. What are my options for addressing these Is it possible to just pull down any loose skin and make a "real" looking belly button?

Inflation data and potential earnings surprises will give the market spice in the holiday-shortened coming week. "Last week we saw earnings pre-announcements and a higher-than-expected producer price index move stocks," says Brian Williamson, equity trader at Boston Company Asset Management. "Next week, we expect more earnings surprises and the CPI to provide the volatility." Stock and bond markets will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. When traders return Tuesday, they will be treated to capacity utilization and industrial production figures for December. Economists surveyed by Thomson First Call expect utilization to increase to 80.5% from 80.2% the prior month. On the production end, they are looking for a slight decrease to 0.6% from 0.7% in November. The December consumer price index should dominate trading on Wednesday as creeping energy prices are once again sparking inflation fears. Economists expect the CPI to rise 0.2%, a big jump from November's decline of 0.6%. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is anticipated to remain flat from November at 0.2%. Higher energy prices kept wholesale inflation humming in December. The Labor Department said Friday that its producer price index rose 0.9% last month, more than twice the rate economists expected. The gauge, a key metric in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, rose by 0.7% in November. Excluding food and energy, December's so-called core PPI rose 0.1%, slightly below expectations. Contributing to the 0.9% gain in the headline number was a 12.3% rise in gasoline prices, which helped pace a 3.1% increase in overall energy costs. "After the PPI bounced last week due to higher energy costs, there is a big risk of the CPI following suit next week," says Jason Schenker, economist at Wachovia. "There is significant upside risk there."

One of the best chocolates ever

Green and black is a great chocolate. I like the absence of milk solids in it.Hazelnuts and currant add a pleasant texture and taste to the good quality dark chocolate.
Good Product but Contains Small Amounts of Dairy

I was surprised to see that this product contains dairy in it. I didn't realize that it was affecting my eczema until after I got through most of the box. I was eating so rarely, but whenever I did I had a mild outbreak. Good chocolate if you can handle the dairy ingredients. I should have read them more closely.
Delicious chocolate

It's one of the most delicious Green & Blacks chocolate bars. The hazelnut flavour is very nice and there's a little sour hint af black currant. An amazing combination. They are worth to be ordered from international shop.

Eggs' Potential
We've had eggs on our minds this week while we're watching them hatch at the Cathedral of Learning peregrine nest.
Eggs start as the familiar objects we see every day in our refrigerators and miraculously become baby birds. The process is so amazing that I'm devoting two Tenth Page articles to it.
Shown above is the un-incubated egg we know so well. If fertilized before it's laid -- and then incubated -- it becomes a bird. Each component plays a part.
- Blastodisc or germinal disc: Potential embryo. If fertilized and incubated this small circular spot on the yolk becomes a chick.
- Yolk: Food for the embryo. The female's ovary deposits layers on the yolk to increase its size before ovulation. Yellow layers are laid on during the day, white ones at night, so the yolk has rings like a tree. It's housed in a yolk sac which is why you have to "break" the yolk when cooking. The yolk is ovulated with the germinal disc attached (cradled by the yolk) so the food is next to the potential embryo even before fertilization. As the embryo develops, the yolk shrinks.
- Albumen = Egg White: Food, water, shock absorber, and insulation from sudden temperature changes. The albumen makes up 50% to 71% of the egg's total weight. It's laid on after fertilization while the yolk-with-germinal-disc rotates gently in the oviduct. As the embryo develops the albumen shrinks too.
- Chalazae: Because the yolk is rotating during albumen deposition, twists form in the albumen. Chalazae act like springs and stabilizers to keep the yolk and embryo in place inside the egg. They're the white twisted bits in the egg white. (Totally amazing! Shock absorbers, insulation, springs and stabilizers!)
- Inner Shell Membrane: the first of two membranes that hold the embryo-yolk-albumen together
- Air Space: Between the inner and outer shell membranes the air space acts as a condenser for moisture exchange. This is where the baby bird takes its first breath before hatching.
- Outer Shell Membrane: The final packaging before the shell is laid on. It's attached to the shell when you crack open an egg.
- Shell: The female's uterus deposits calcium on the outer shell membrane to make the hard enclosure for the egg. The shell has microscopic pores to allow air exchange for the developing embryo.
- Cuticle: A thin layer on the shell that adds protection. The cuticle has caps on top of the pores that close when necessary to protect the embryo.
Eggs have the tools and potential to become baby birds. Next week I'll show you how.

Yes, but how many chicks have we now? I can only see two eggs in the most recent snapshot.
# Kate St. Johnon 26 Apr 2013 at 7:40 am
3 eggs still to hatch. One baby is hiding an egg with his body. A function of the camera angle.
# Coleenon 26 Apr 2013 at 9:21 am
Early this morning, the poor little second chick looked so exhausted after his hatching ordeal, and all the older one was doing was begging for food, of course!
Colleen, hatching is hard work! Just saw the second one joining in on lunch a while ago though. In peregrine nests, everyone gets as much to eat as they want. This even playing field started all the way back a month ago as Dorothy waited until all but the last egg were laid to begin incubating so that they'd all develop at about the same rate. This isn't true for all raptors. Eagles for example will begin incubation immediately, and so the eggs hatch staggered as well. The first chick to hatch in an eagle's nest can have quite an advantage by the time any siblings come along.
Now to keep an eye on the rest of those eggs and hope they're all able to hatch soon! (just for hatching's sake, not because I'd worry about the chicks being too far behind the first two)
There's even a post on this blog about peregrine chicks and feeding if you want to read more. http://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/peregrine-faqs/question-are-the-chicks-getting-enough-to-eat/

Kate! How about where the calcium for the shell is derived from! It is scary to me…but just Another wonder of the bird!!! 🙂

P2 Commission; what consequences of a cryptocracy
If democracy is a system of rules and procedures which define the parameters within which political action can take place, what happens when alongside this system there is another one whose rules are mysterious, its procedures unknown, its power immense and which is able to protect itself against the formal institutions of democracy by a wall of secrecy?
Invisible Government
[A] dual state exists when a part of the constitutional elite, in order to preserve the current system [of power], forms a hidden power, with a principle of legitimation of its own — outside and in contra-position to that of the formal constitution — in order to permanently condition the political system through illegal methods, without going so far as to subvert the formal one, which partly maintains its efficacy.
A World Government; docile and obedient organisms
Electronic communication and rapid transportation make possible a stifling world government. Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, 'safe' organisms.
Kissinger directing policy behind the scenes
As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.
Domhoff researches conspiracies whether he admits it or not
The owners and managers of large banks and corporations, with a little bit of help from their hired academics, lawyers, and public relations people, dominate everything in this country that is worth dominating — foreign policy through such organizations as the Council on Foreign Relations, Council of the Americas, and Trilateral Commission; economic policy through the likes of the Conference Board, Committee for Economic Development, and Brookings Institution; population policy through such groups as the Population Council, Population Reference Bureau, and Planned Parenthood; environmental policy through Resources for the Future, Conservation Foundation, and American Conservation Association; legal policies through the American Law Institute and committees of the American Bar Association; and educational policy through such entities as the Ford Foundation, three Carnegie foundations, and the Carnegie Council for Policy Studies in Higher Education. Every one of these organizations is financed and directed by the same few thousand men who run the major banks and corporations, and every one of them is pivotal on governmental policy in its area of specialization.
G. William Domhoff studies and identifies conspiracies whether he admits it or not; and despite deceiving, inane assertions that "There are no Conspiracies!"
Crane Brinton quote on utopianism and the elite
The means [toward utopia] - dictatorship of the proletariat, hidden or open rule of the technocrat, the cultural engineer, the planner, Robert Owen, H. G. Wells, Etienne Cabet, B. F. Skinner - is often, indeed usually, quite definitely the work of an elite.
Gary Hart (Bush New World Order quote)
There is a chance for the President of the United States to use the disaster, to carry out what his father - a phrase his father used I think only once, and it hasn't been used since - and that is a New World Order.
Tragedy and Hope (p. 324)
In addition to these pragmatic goals, the powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent and private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montague Norman of the the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the bank of France, and Hjalmar Schact of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasure loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence to the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.
CFR's "House of World Order"
...In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.

Ratings for Dr. Kathleen N. Price
I have seen Dr. Price for over 10 years and she is by far the best rheumatologist I have ever had. Due to several moves and living away from home during college and graduate school, I have had several different physicians. She has helped me stay the healthiest and most pain-free when compared to several others.
She is so knowledgable about Lupus and I feel very comfortable with her. She is a little rough around hte edges at first, but if you schedule appointments when she asks and keep up on what you are supposed to do, she becomes a very friendly and personable doctor!! She has called my house numerous times to check in on me to make sure her RN got all of the info correct. She has also written personal notes when she sends a prescription or blood results to my house. Wonderful doctor who cares about her patients!!
To get an appointment you must first fax in an info sheet. The doctor is said to review these to determine who must be seen first. The administrator said it can take the doctor a month or more to review the sheets, and then if you're not considered urgent it can be a great deal longer before you can get an appointment. Three weeks and counting and no one can tell me whether she has, in fact, reviewed my information yet for various reasons: the computer is down, the woman who does that task is not in, etc. My primary informed me that it's difficult to get an appointment w/ Dr. Price, but I never imagined it would be this annoying or that I'd have to wait a month to find out if I'm considered sick enough to see her. However, reading the reviews of other rheums in this area, I can see why people hold out to see Dr. Price. Here's hoping I get to be one of them.
I have not seen Dr Price, so I don't have any knowledge of her punctuality, helpfulness or knowledge -- in fairness, I just put average. The main reason I am submitting this is as a warning to anyone thinking about getting an appointment as a new patient -- an impossibly long and unnecessarily complex process. As I write this, I have been trying to arrange an appointment for TWO days now and I have NOTHING! When you call, they tell you to call back after 2PM. When you call back, all they do is take your name and fax number to send you a sheet for you to fill out...that isn't sent out until they close for the day! I faxed it back and nothing...I called back at 4:45 before the office closes at 5PM to find out what was happening and they were already closed. I also talked to my primary physician about helping me getting an appointment and nothing. If you have an IMMEDIATE NEED to see a Rheumatologist, Dr Price is not your solution...no matter how good she may be!
I've gone to Dr. Price for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis for several years. She does tend to run late with her appointments. However, that's because she is willing to spend as much time as necessary to address your concerns, questions, and needs. I would highly recommend her to others.
