Victor Rams met Nadia one summer afternoon on a Greek island.
Nadia was only fifteen. But that didn't matter to Victor Rams.
He had a lot of money — clearly — and on that particular day was wearing a white silk tussore suit and polished two-tone saddle shoes.
Nadia was browning her back in the sun on a colorful blanket. The straps of her black bikini top lay at her elbows in the hot sand.
She had come to the island with her brother, Vikram. Vikram ignored her; he was interested only in Greek girlfriends.
Their mother was Indian; their father, British. They'd both stayed behind in London.
Nadia was bored in Greece. She hadn't made any friends. She didn't go dancing in the discos — or, if she did, she remained cool, unimpressed by the noise and laughter.
People seemed to avoid her, especially the boys — although she was beautiful. Maybe it was something in her gaze.
Victor saw her on the beach, browning her back in the sun though she was already deeply bronzed. She didn't notice him. Her eyes were shut. Maybe she was asleep.
Later he saw her sipping Coke in a dismal little cafe. He approached her. She swung her bare legs, lazily.
And her eyes looked at him. Victor sat down at the table. He smiled at her. She said:
-Take off your shades, won't you?
He did. He put them on the table. They looked at each other. The waitress came over. Victor ordered an ouzo.
It seemed to him that his desire for Nadia heightened everything and that he would remember every single detail of this afternoon — the cafe, the cheap posters, the cane chairs, the metal topped table — along with the shape of Nadia's scowling lips, forever.
As dusk fell, as the sun sank into the Ionian sea, Victor was looking at Nadia's ear and at the dark hair curled behind it and feeling extremely drunk, when her voice said:
-Have you ever wanted to kill someone?
Victor said he had.
She scowled.
-No, she said, not someone you know. Just pick someone, for no reason in particular, then stalk and kill him. Or her.
They sat in silence watching groups of people wander past. Some were on their way to discos, some to bars and cafes, and some were just coming back from the beach.
Victor licked his lips. Finally, he said under his breath, as if exclaiming only for his own benefit:
–Quelle idee! (What an idea!)
His voice suffused with raw admiration.
-Want to try it? Nadia asked.
-Why not, Victor said. Who?
They were silent. Two Greek men walked past holding hands. Then a bare breasted girl in sandals and a red skirt.
-Anyone at all, Nadia said, shrugging. It doesn't matter.

Verizon Wireless Sharpens LTE Roadmap
That's simultaneously a bit faster and a bit slower than we heard back in February, when Verizon was slinging around a vague 2010 date for commercial launch - which might have been the first half of 2010 - and when they said they'd complete their rollout by 2015.
A small group of Verizon testers will get access to 4G this year, McAdam added, with Verizon turning on one "pre-commercial" network on the east coast and one on the west coast during 2009.
That's a little slower in terms of commercial rollout than Verizon CFO John Killian called for in an April conference call, where he said (in a transcript on SeekingAlpha.com) that "we intend to have a few commercially ready markets up by the end of 2009." Unless, of course, "commercially ready" and actually "commercial" mean different things.
LTE is Verizon's next-generation, "4G" network, which will supplement and eventually replace their existing CDMA network. It will be at least somewhat compatible with networks planned by AT&T and MetroPCS, and provide average data speeds between 8-12 Mbps.
Verizon will also have an "application developers' conference" this summer, "where we will open up the Verizon Wireless devices to all the thousands and thousands of apps you see on the Web today," McAdam said. Most of the rest of the call was devoted to extremely technical questions about LTE specifications. Verizon shied away from any questions about roaming, LTE/CDMA or LTE/GSM dual-mode devices, or services other than packet data (read: voice.)
Three consumer-friendly nuggets did come out of the call, though:
1) Verizon Wireless LTE devices will have swappable SIM cards.
2) Verizon will have certification requirements above and beyond the minimum LTE requirements. In other words, there will be swappable SIM cards, but you probably won't be allowed to use devices which weren't specifically certified for Verizon.
3) Even in 2014, you'll probably still be dialing *228 to provision your phone. Originally posted to Gearlog.

California DUI Laws & California DUI Attorney Resources
The California DUI laws are some of the harshest in the country. Only an aggressive proven winner with the knowledge and expertise will command the best possible resolution of your pending criminal DUI and DMV drunk driving case.
Basically in California you start off being charged with a DUI. Depending on the facts of the case and, more importantly, who your DUI lawyer is will determine whether or not you may be able to get your DUI case reduced down to a lesser offense. The most important aspect of getting your DUI case reduced is whether or not the reduced charge is priorable in the future as a DUI. A DUI and Wet Reckless will be looked at in the future as prior convictions to enhance the punishment should you get another DUI or Wet Reckless. A Dry Reckless or an Exhibition of Speed charge is not priorable as a DUI and is what your shooting for in terms of reducing your DUI case. Please find below a list of California statutes describing DUI and the lesser related offenses along with some jury instructions to give you a better understanding of what the charge is, and more importantly, what the prosecution must prove in order to convict you of the particular charge.

DEFIANCE, OHIO - The Defiance College men's basketball program hosted Transylvania University at the Karl H. Weaner Center on Saturday afternoon. The team's first matchup of the season saw the Pioneers hit the road with a ten point victory, 86-76.
The contest was highlighted by Marell Jordan's (West Lafayette, Ind. / Lafayette Jefferson) scoring output for DC. The freshman shattered his career high of 19, as he finished the day with 30 points against Transy. The West Lafayette, Ind. native also tallied seven rebounds and five steals in the affair.
Also breaking the double-digit mark were Sean Tyson (Columbus / Centennial) with 13, Jordan Maschino (Bradford / Covington) with a quiet 12 points, and Tyler Andrew (Indianapolis, Ind. / Lawrence Central) with 10. Maschino and Andrew each equaled Jordan's efforts on the glass, reeling in seven rebounds each.
The Pioneers struck first in the HCAC contest, sinking a pair of shots from the charity stripe just 11 seconds into the contest. Despite Defiance's strong efforts, the powerful Transy offense never relinquished the lead.
DC kept the Pioneer's on their toes throughout the entire game, with multiple runs at the lead. Down 43-32 with just over four minutes remaining in the first half, Coach Scott Cutter looked to reset his squad with a timeout. Coming out of the break, the Yellow Jackets struck fast, with Jordan sinking a mid-range jumper. DC grabbed a rebound and ran with it, as Andrew found space for a layup to continue the run. A Maschino and Jordan pair of baskets had the Yellow Jacket faithful with a renewed energy as the sides moved towards halftime.
Transylvania was able to sink one more shot during the half as the sides headed to the locker rooms with a 47-40 Pioneer lead.
The second half of action saw the Pioneer offense continue their efficiency. Despite shooting 44% (12-27) from the field, the Yellow Jackets were unable to make a significant dent into the Transy lead for much of the second half.
There was no quit within the Defiance side. With the scoreboard reading Transy 86, Defiance 71, the Yellow Jackets looked to continuing pushing the Pioneers with just under two minutes left to play. Two Tyson free-throws along with a Jordan jumper and a free-throw of his own gave the Yellow Jackets their final output of 76.
With the loss, Defiance drops to 2-11 on the season and an 0-6 mark in HCAC play. The Purple and Gold will look to break their losing streak as they welcome rival Bluffton to the Weaner Center on Wednesday, Jan. 9th. The always exciting contest is set to tip-off at 8:00 pm, following the women's game with the Beavers.

I couldn't be more excited, and neither could Geoff. Geoff Baker will be in a role after seven years covering the Mariners.Photo by The Seattle Times Baker's new role, as he announced in a Mariners Blog post Thursday, will be as our sports enterprise and investigative reporter. He will draw on 22 years of journalism experience and dig into larger stories on the business of sports. That includes ownership and radio-TV contracts, as well as watchdog and investigative stories. Baker will also become our lead reporter on covering efforts to bring the NBA and NHL to Seattle and to build an arena. That story was one of the most important of the year, and it won't be going away any time soon. Baker will cultivate sources in the NBA and NHL to help break stories and help readers understand the many issues involved. "I'm excited to have the opportunity to get back to doing more of what I got into this business to do," he said. "And to be able to do it full-time, in a sports context, is something I've never done and that not too many people get a chance at." Baker's investigative skills – he has a strong background as an investigative reporter in news and business – and his doggedness going after important stories will serve him, The Seattle Times and our readers well in this new job. And the fact that he grew up in Quebec and has a deep understanding and appreciation of hockey doesn't hurt, either. Baker's new role starts Nov. 3. He'll finish the season covering the Mariners while we look for his replacement, and then take some well-deserved time off. I want to thank Geoff for his hard work covering the Mariners for the past seven years. He arrived this week in 2006, and helped launch our newspaper into the digital age by starting the Mariners Blog. He made it essential reading for any Mariners or Major League Baseball fan. He did an admirable job of handling the demands of being a baseball beat reporter while still finding time to dig into bigger profiles, enterprise and investigative stories. With this new role, he will be freed of the daily constraints of a beat to do more of those kinds of stories. I'm convinced that a great Sports section has to give readers those larger stories (as well as the daily stories and blog posts from beats). It's part of our mission and part of what any great newspaper must do. Hold the powers that be accountable. Uncover corruption and incompetence. Find the truth. Baker will maintain a regular presence in our print and digital products, and we plan to launch a weekly sports business column and blog. I'm sure he'll be checking in with the Mariners from time to time, looking into different aspects of that struggling franchise. He won't be going anywhere. If you're a Mariners fan worried about what's next, don't be concerned. The search for a Mariners beat reporter has already begun and I plan to make sure that we hire someone who will continue our tradition of outstanding baseball coverage, both in print and online. That means updating the Mariners blog daily, covering games home and away, writing profiles and other features, breaking news, doing video and podcasts and being a major presence on social media like Twitter and Facebook. Just like Baker did. Until we find a replacement, Baker will remain on the beat, with help from other staffers and columnists Larry Stone and Jerry Brewer. There are several more recent staff changes, including additions to help beef up our presence on the Seahawks, and I'll be rounding them up in a Take 2 blog post soon. Want to be a reader contributor to The Seattle Times' Take 2 blog? Email your original, previously unpublished work or proposal to Sports Editor Don Shelton at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Not all submissions can be published. The Times reserves the right to edit and publish any submissions online and/or in print. Comments

A sign near the door of this bakery promises all goods are free of gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, and peanuts. What's left? I'm forced to wonder.
Starry Lane Bakery
3925 Fourth Ave, Hillcrest
Starry Lane Bakery originally opened out in Santee, developing a reputation for gluten free plus pastries, cookies, and breads, particularly pretzel rolls. A couple years back it responded to rising demand by moving to this larger operation in Hillcrest.
It's still not very big. I barely noticed its blue and white striped awning, a couple storefronts north of University. But the added kitchen space allows the place to bake more items daily, including pies, cakes, and holiday candy. There were dozens of sweets on display within its glass counters, and while browsing I could only marvel that the gorgeous torts, cookies, and cupcakes within contained neither butter nor wheat.
In fact, Starry Lane is a strict allergen free zone. In addition to the aforementioned, the bakery and its ingredients are one hundred percent free and clear of all the country's top ten food allergens. While it typically goes without saying that baked goods remain free of fish or shellfish, these also remain free of recent additions to the allergen ranks, mustard and sesame. So dedicated are the owners to the sanctity of their space, they prohibit all outside food and drink, lest there be unintended crumbs, spills, or misunderstandings.
Zeroing in on a tray of cinnamon rolls ($5.50), I discovered at least two ingredients the bakery is not afraid to use: cinnamon and sugar. A thick, surgery glaze atop the rolls make them incredibly sweet. While I missed the earthy, nutty taste of wheat to balance it out, I was pleased to discover that the best part of a cinnamon roll, its moist center ring, proved every bit as gooey and doughy as I'd hoped.
Even better was a large, chocolate chunk cookie ($2.50). It had a touch more chew than crumble, and tasted of oats, but otherwise I would not consider it much different from the products of a conventional bakery. Starry Lane's web site notes it (currently) uses processed sugar, which some vegans apparently disavow because it's filtered with animal bone char. I'd say that fact alone keeps these from being the best vegan cookies I've ever eaten.
Also not bad: the cupcakes ($4.50). Again, the icing proved very sweet (I recommend eating all of the above with coffee or whatever milk/milk substitute you might keep at home). However, the cake was moist, with a decent bit of crumble. I opted for a s'mores cupcake, topped by a marshmallow, itself quite an allergen free accomplishment.
I've certainly had better cake in my life, but then I'm luckily not averse to gluten, eggs, or dairy. Were I determined for any reason to avoid such things, I'm not sure I could do much better than Starry Lane.

Ripe Near Me (ripenear.me), is a project that has just been successfully crowdfunded (for $25,300 by 346 supporters) and was initially launched in July 2013 by it's founders Alistair and Helena Martin in SA.
In Helena's words, they started Ripe Near Me as they were "looking at fruit trees beyond fence lines laden with fruit left to the birds or rotting on the ground. Meanwhile supermarkets were charging $5-$9 per kilo for the same foods flown in from overseas. It made no sense. We found websites that mapped foods but nothing that would allow communication and collaboration between the owners of these foods and the people who were wondering how they can get their hands on the produce in a safe but convenient way. So we worked on the idea of how we could facilitate getting this fresh and often organic produce from backyards to kitchens and minimizing waste."
The purpose of the site is to allow anyone to post their homegrown produce on a map for others to find and swap, give, share or buy – with security in mind. They want to make urban-grown foods a sizeable part of the mainstream food system. They hope to do this by providing a platform to make it possible to profit by foods grown in backyards thus encouraging more backyard produce as a result. "At the moment we eat well beyond our ecological means and eating local could form a big part of the overall solution."
We asked Helena about her garden in Fulham and what she might be listing on their Ripe Near Me website.
Do you currently grow your own food?: Yes. We grow fruit and veg in our backyard. We have two spoilt chickens.
What would we find growing in your garden? Custard Apples, Feijoas, Pepinos, Persimmons, Figs, Apricots and the usual greens and herbs.
What's your favourite fruit or veg to grow and why? Figs – I love them and the tree produces for a long time and they are easy to grow.
Your favourite phrase or life motto: Don't take life too seriously – you're not getting out of it alive.
Your biggest garden failure: A very successful campaign against our Persimmon tree by the neighbour's rats – two years in a row!
Your biggest garden success: Our custard apples. It's taken quite a while for the sub-tropical tree to mature, and hand pollination was a daily affair for two months.
Favourite gardening tool: The hose (its the tool for the lazy).

I have a friend who is a wonderfully talented singer. She leads worship at our church and every time she opens her mouth, it is amazing. I often find myself wishing that I could sing as well as she can. I have another friend who has a high powered job and is very successful in the business world and travels a lot. I think about how great it would be to have a job like her.
Isn't that typical? We compare ourselves to others wishing that we had their job, voice, hair, skin, or talents. Our culture encourages us to do this and it leads to us feeling inadequate. We are left wanting more….
Who you are and what you do already pleases God!
He has given each of us a unique gift and wants us to use these gifts to show our love for Him. How can we do this?
"If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly" Romans 12:7-9.
The best way that we can show our love to God is to use the special gifts that He has given us. Remember that we are all designed to have different talents and that is what makes us unique. So the next time you find yourself feeling less than adequate, remind yourself that we each have our own special gifts. Not sure what yours is? Ask a friend!
Do what you do best and do it without comparison, for it brings Him much joy!

Setup User Accounts (Tiger)
If your department doesn't have an LDAP server and you are configuring a desktop machine that will be always connected to an internal network, you should absolutely do the following. For laptops, these steps are optional. The instructions below match your Mac user ID to the unix user ID on your internal network so that if you cross-mount hard drives, all files will be created with the same user/group permissions.
- Make a new user account called "myadmin" for doing some temporary administration stuff by going to System Preferences -> Accounts
- Log in as "myadmin" on your Mac.
- Find your user/group information on the unix system. Log into a unix machine and type groups... use the first one. Also type "id" which should return an ID number for your user account and group account on the unix machines. Record these numbers for further steps.
- Open System Preferences->Accounts. Create a new user with the same username as on Unix.
Open Applications->Utilities->Netinfo Manager. Be careful in this application because you can really hurt your system. I only recommend making these changes immediately after a clean install.Leopard Note: There is no more Netinfo Manager. Instead find these options under System Preferences->Accounts, right click on a user and go to Advanced Options.
- In Netinfo Manager, goto groups. Add a new group that matches the group you belong to on the unix system. Change the gid for that group to match the number recorded as gid from above.
- In Netinfo Manager, goto users. Edit your new user account to change the uid and gid for this user account to match the number recorded as uid ang gid from above. Write down the old values as well.
- In the new user, change the default shell to csh or tcsh rather than bash.
From a Terminal or XTerm, run the following (this may take a big):
sudo find / -user <UID> -print -exec chown <usr> {} \; sudo find / -group <GID> -print -exec chgrp <group> {} \;
- Log out and log back in as yourself.

I had no doubts you'd love it.Speechless. Perfect. Just perfect. I was at home. More later when I have my voice back.
I love this place. I love its people.
Every time I'm at Anfield and especially in the Kop I can't finish singing YNWA without choking up and tears welling up. I can't describe what an integral part of me Liverpool is.
The win and the manner of it was nothing more than we deserved. My local LFC whatsapp group we're losing their rag over their equaliser. I said listen, Allison is human, it happens to DeGea, Oblak, Kepa, Neuer the lot of them. He bailed out his teammates against Napoli, now it's his teammates turn to bail him out. That's what a team is about. That's what family is about. Our song is YNWA for goodness sake!
And sure as heck they did. And how!
Now the team has confidence that 99.9% of the time Allison has their back.
And Allison knows that that 0.1% things don't go his way the team has his back and that will help him relax more and help him be a better player overall.
I've been banging on about shaqiri for years. YEARS! on our who would you buy thread. I knew this dude was special. As many of you have mentioned, he's got that x-factor about him. Strong as an ox but with feet of a ballerina and a howitzer of a left foot. He is a huge difference maker this season and I feel he will only grow in influence. Like JK said, a no-brainer

Sarmale, Romanian Style
Created | Updated Apr 6, 2013
'Sarmale' is a traditional Romanian dish of leaves (cabbage or vine leaves, pickled or fresh) rolled around a filling which is based on minced meat (pork, beef, lamb, goat, veal and sometimes goose, turkey or duck meat) and rice. In Romania 'sarmale' is a traditional meal for Christmas and other religious holidays. It is found in Turkish, Bulgarian, Serbian and other cuisines too but under the name sarma, which actually means 'a wrapped thing' from the Turkish verb sarmak (to wrap). The suggested amount here will make 50 small rolls.
Suggested minced meat: 1.6lbs (725g) of pork and 8.8oz (250g) of beef, plus:
- Cabbage (fresh or pickled) or vine leaves.
- 3-4 chopped onions
- 2 chopped carrots
- 3.5oz (100g) rice
- ½-1 tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon pepper
- 1-2 sprigs thyme
- 1 sprig dill (chopped)
- 1 sprig parsley (chopped)
- 5 tablespoons tomato juice
- 4-5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Other herbs as required
Add the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat along with the carrots and onions (finely chopped), fry for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, mix these ingredients: meat, rice, salt, pepper, thyme, dill and parsley. Add the fried carrots and onions and mix in. Remove the core from the cabbage. In a pan add the water and cabbage (or vine leaves) and heat until they boil. Fill the cabbage leaves with two tablespoons of meat filling and roll to make a nice neat roll. In a large pot (in Romania the best cooking method is slow boiling in large clay pots) add some vegetable oil with some cabbage leaves on top. Arrange the rolls in layers, on top of one another. At the top, add another layer of cabbage leaves and spread tomato juice all over. Now add water to cover (it should reach halfway up the pot). Put a cover on the pot and cook at medium heat for at least 2-2½ hours.
You 'must' serve this with Mamaliga1, sour cream, hot peppers and tuica2 for a true Romanian dish.

If you've had trouble getting traction towards a new life or sticking to a plan you've put in motion, you might be fighting the wrong battles to get where you want to go. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Getting out of our own way is essential. Luckily, the ways I teach you to go about achieving this are less painful than a trip to the dentist – by a long ways.
Reduce Stress
+ Have More Energy
We're taught to be tough and bear the brunt. That's all well and good, but stress takes its toll. We can become so used to dealing with stress that we don't even feel it anymore. That's a bad thing because it can wear us down and leave us with no energy for the good stuff. Clearing away unneeded stress will free up misused energy. You'll sleep better, be happier, and your other half will like you more.

From jail to jihad? The threat of prison radicalisation
The head of the prison and probation service says there is a small but "significant risk" of Muslim prisoners becoming radicalised. Panorama spoke to one convict who was met by Islamic extremists when he was released from prison.
Michael Coe went into prison as a gangster and left as Mikaeel Ibrahim, a convert to Islam.
In 2006 he had been jailed for eight years after threatening police officers with a shotgun while on parole for a knifepoint carjacking.
Ibrahim converted to Islam later that year after meeting al-Qaeda terrorist Dhiren Barot, who was jailed for life for plotting to detonate limousines packed with gas canisters.
Barot gave him the invitation to Islam, the Dawah. "Within that week the Dawah that he gave me, it hit me where no-one else's Dawah hit me," Ibrahim said.
But what attracted this 33-year-old east Londoner to Islam?
"Even though I wasn't Muslim, I always hung around with Muslims and after a little time it rubs off on you... in the end I decided this is the way forward and my life has been much better since," he explained.
'Love of brotherhood'
BBC Panorama met him in December 2013 when he was released from Manchester Prison into the arms of two convicted extremists - Abdul Muhid and Mizanur Rahman.
"Obviously the love of the brotherhood is large, they come to get me, they come to bring me back 300-odd miles and I love them for the sake of Allah," Ibrahim explained.
Muhid and Rahman were jailed following the 2006 Danish embassy protests in London against a cartoonist accused of belittling the Prophet Mohammad.
Waiting outside the prison, Rahman told us he was not worried about what the authorities might think about the fact they had come to meet Ibrahim.
"The police are on the witch-hunts so they will have an attitude of: 'What are they up to?' Forget about the fact that he needs to get from Manchester to London somehow," he said.
Inmates who are identified as a potential threat because of their extreme views are usually met by the police or probation service when they are released on licence, but this did not apply to Ibrahim as he had completed his entire sentence.
Four days after leaving prison Ibrahim took part in a protest at Brick Lane in east London against the sale of alcohol, organised by the men who met him from prison.
They follow radical preacher Anjem Choudary - a one-time key player of the radical group al-Muhajiroun, until it was banned under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
Ibrahim has never been on a government de-radicalisation programme in or outside prison and does not think he needs to.
"I follow the rules of Islam to a 'T'. What the other people who have ulterior motives deem as extreme is their business. For me, I'm not an extremist," he said.
Panorama also spoke to Jordan Horner, who has taken the Islamic name Jamaal Uddin. He was jailed in December 2013 for trying to bring Sharia Law to the streets of east London. He said that he had been instrumental in converting other prisoners inside.
"The prison officers witnessed people become Muslim and in front of them I was giving them what we call Shahada, an invitation and acceptance of Islam.
"They was becoming Muslim in front of the prison officers - and they [the officers] felt sort of powerless. They said I was trying to divide Muslims from non-Muslims, trying to get them to follow an extreme version of Islam."
After his release in February 2014, he became the first person to be placed on a five-year, landmark antisocial behaviour order, intended to stop him promoting extreme versions of Islam.
Over the last 10 years, the number of Muslims in prisons in England and Wales has doubled to nearly 12,000, Ministry of Justice figures show. The vast majority are moderate. However, there are around 100 Islamist terrorists in prison.
The Prison Service claims that the radicalisation of Muslim inmates is rare. But when it happens it can be serious.
'Protect the public'
Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said: "What concerns me most is that there is a significant risk, given the fact that we manage some very dangerous people. And our job is to minimise that risk becoming a reality - so minimise the risk that somebody in prison becomes radicalised and commits a terrorist offence.
"Our job is to protect the public. That's what we do every day and what worries me is whenever we fail to do that, in a whole range of different potential scenarios people could be hurt."
So what are the authorities doing? One tactic is to transfer inmates in order to stop them spreading their views and establishing a hierarchy.
There are de-radicalisation programmes but they are voluntary. The Prison Service also appoints specially-vetted imams into prisons.
Whitemoor high-security prison in Cambridgeshire has the highest proportion of Muslim inmates, more than 40%.
Governor Damian Evans believes it would be wrong to view them through the lens of extremism.
"It is very important that we recognise that the vast majority of practice of Islam within prison is fundamentally a good thing. Islam can very often provide good opportunities for personal change and development," he told the BBC.
The prison houses about 10 convicted terrorists and three times as many with extremist views, but Mr Evans says his staff are trained to gather intelligence and form good relationships with prisoners.
"When that happens we tend to pick up on what might be going on. We are generally good at identifying risk and acting on it," he said.

Chappellet Vineyard Appoints Cyril Chappellet Chairman of the Board

Chappellet Vineyard Appoints Cyril Chappellet Chairman of the Board
Cyril Chappellet becomes the only person other than his father, Donn Chappellet, to hold this position in the 46-year history of Chappellet Vineyard.
ST. HELENA, Calif. – February 14, 2013 – Chappellet Vineyard is proud to announce it has named Cyril Chappellet chairman of the board. Cyril was elected by the family-run board of directors, which includes his parents, winery founders Donn and Molly Chappellet, who continue to remain actively involved as chairman and co-chairman emeritus. Cyril becomes the only person other than Donn to hold this position in the 46-year history of Chappellet. With this appointment, Chappellet further solidifies its commitment to remaining family-owned and operated as the vineyard and winery approaches its 50th anniversary.
The eldest son of Donn and Molly Chappellet, Cyril grew up on Pritchard Hill working in the vineyard and winery. After studying farm management at Cal Poly and completing his business education at Pepperdine University, Cyril worked outside the wine industry in corporate planning and acquisitions. In 1988, after spending nearly a decade honing his business skills, Cyril returned to Pritchard Hill to join the Chappellet team. "The finest wineries around the world reflect a commitment that goes beyond one generation," says Cyril. "At Chappellet, this ongoing commitment has been key to our continued ability to make extraordinary wines. It has also elevated the recognition of Pritchard Hill as one of the world's exceptional winegrowing regions."
Prior to being named chairman of the board, Cyril Chappellet spent many years as the winery's managing director. In this role, he was instrumental in guiding the day-to-day workings of the winery, overseeing sales and marketing efforts and working with his parents and siblings to ensure the ongoing vitality of the business. During his tenure as managing director, Chappellet was recognized for making some of the finest wines in its storied history, and Pritchard Hill catapulted to center stage as California's premier location for mountain-grown Bordeaux varietals, most notably, Cabernet Sauvignon.
"When Molly and I founded Chappellet, we were the 18th registered member of the Napa Valley Vintners Association, and today, there are more than 425 members," says Donn Chappellet. "Cyril has seen many changes in our industry and spent the majority of his life dedicating himself to our family business."
Cyril is taking on this new leadership role at a time when the third generation of Chappellet family members are beginning to work in the business full-time.
In addition to his contributions to Chappellet, Cyril has been a board member of the Napa Valley Vintners Association, and is actively involved with the Wine Service Co-Op, of which Chappellet was a founding charter member in 1972. Cyril recently served as the chair of the 2012 Auction Napa Valley, which raised $8.2 million for local charities. "I grew up learning from legends of the industry," adds Cyril. "People like Robert Mondavi, who taught me to work on behalf of both our winery and our region, and I continue to learn from the vision and wisdom of my father. He's a man of few words. When he speaks, people listen."
Chappellet is also pleased to announce that Blakesley Chappellet has been named marketing manager, Amy Chappellet has recently joined the team as sales ambassador, and third-generation family member, Sequoia Chappellet-Volpini, has filled the role of Bay Area sales support. Jon-Mark Chappellet continues in his role as director of operations with Carissa Chappellet acting as the winery's director of legal affairs.
About Chappellet Vineyard (www.chappellet.com)
Founded in 1967, Chappellet Vineyard is recognized as one of the Napa Valley's preeminent family-owned wineries, and one of the pioneers of high-elevation vineyard planting in California. For over four decades, Chappellet has crafted benchmark wines with an emphasis on hillside-grown Cabernet Sauvignons from Pritchard Hill.

May 4, 1986, Section 2, Page 19Buy Reprints
''People now tell me it's a good thing I stayed away from teen films,'' Laura Dern said in some amusement. ''Well, it wasn't my choice. I wasn't hired. You name a movie with a young girl in the last five years, and I'm sure I was up for it.''
As a result of missing out on films like ''Flashdance'' and ''Pretty in Pink,'' the 19-year-old actress hasn't yet achieved the high media profile of some of her peers. But she's garnered far more substantial critical acclaim. The Los Angeles Film Critics named her the most promising newcomer of 1985, and in reviewing ''Smooth Talk,'' Vincent Canby wrote that she was ''smashing as the sexually voyaging Connie.'' And Joyce Carol Oates, the author of the short story from which ''Smooth Talk'' was adapted, said, ''Laura Dern is so right as 'my' Connie that I may come to think I modeled the fictitious girl on her.''
In ''Smooth Talk'' Miss Dern does a remarkable job of capturing the emotional life of one of those self-absorbed, flirtatious teen-age girls at shopping malls all across America. What makes her achievement in the film even more remarkable is that she grew up a long way from that ordinary middle-American universe. The child of two actors, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, Miss Dern inhabited a far more sophisticated and rarefied world than Connie. Her parents divorced when she was 2, and although she lived with her mother, she also regularly visited her father in Malibu. ''At Connie's age I was hanging out with adults - my mother and father and people like Shelley Winters, who's my godmother,'' Miss Dern said. ''I always wondered what it would be like to have a normal childhood. But what I didn't find out until recently was that a normal childhood is divorce in the 80's.''
Despite her atypical upbringing, Miss Dern said that some of her childhood and adolescent experiences were parallel to Connie's. ''I was a definite daydreamer like Connie,'' Miss Dern said. ''I lived with my mother, so I had a lot of the same fights. All kids are selfish. I wanted to do homework and do my thing and call my agent. My mother's needs weren't in my mind at that moment. So I brought up a lot of those memories when I did the film. I also brought up a lot of my quirkiness and insecurity around men as a child. Partly I related to that because I didn't have a man around the house all the time.''
Miss Dern's determination to become an actress probably took hold when she worked as an extra for one day when her mother was filming ''Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.'' ''Marty Scorsese gave me a role as an extra at the diner,'' Miss Dern recalled, ''and I ate a banana ice cream cone in the scene. We had to shoot the scene 19 times, and Marty said to my mom, 'If she can eat an ice cream cone 19 times, she's got to be an actress.' To this little 7-year-old, a buzz went off in the brain.''
Her parents actively discouraged her from acting. ''They were trying to dissuade me from the career because of the pain,'' Miss Dern said. ''You never know when your next job is going to be. My parents were scared of that, because they've been doing it for 35 years, and they're still dealing with the games. So I had to prove to them that it was something I wanted. I took acting classes from 9 to 11 before they let me get involved with an agent. I rode my bike to the acting class; they wouldn't drive me.''
She admitted that when she began going to auditions, her famiy connections often gave her an edge. ''There were definite benefits,'' she said. ''Sometimes my family got me in the door. Somebody would say, 'Bruce Dern's daughter - sure I'd like to meet her.' It was a point of interest. But after five minutes of talking about my father, I still had to read for the part.''
More than the useful contacts, however, Miss Dern feels her parents' major influence on her was in their commitment to the craft of acting. ''If I had different parents who were in it for the money, I might have a different perspective,'' Miss Dern said. ''But they really are artists; they intelligently approach each character and prepare in every sense of the word. I grew up in a world that had great discipline.''
Miss Dern won her first part at the age of 11, appearing with Jodie Foster in ''Foxes.'' And during the next few years she worked in several more films and television programs. Her early success provoked resentment and jealousy among her classmates at school.
''When I got the part in 'Foxes,' she recalled, ''I was in seventh grade, and I went away to shoot for two weeks. When I came back, the kids hated me. I had a best friend who never spoke to me again. She said, 'You only got the part because your parents are Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd.' It was very depressing. Jealousy is a scary thing. And teachers were jealous too, I think. They would say, 'You're off making a million dollars on a movie, and you're going to fail this class.' Little did they know I was making far from a million dollars. It's tough now with my parents. There's no jealousy or competition with them, but I sometimes feel guilty if I'm working and my parents aren't, because I so admire them. The fact that teen movies are taking over from movies about 45-year-olds scares me and makes me angry.''
Nevertheless, her chief regret about her career is that she has not had a chance to continue her education. Her plans for college have had to be set aside because of all her acting jobs in the last two years.
Her breakthrough movie was ''Mask.'' In preparing for her role as a blind woman, she spent two months at the Braille Institute meeting blind teen-agers. For two weeks she wore a blackout mask in order to experience some of the sensations of being blind. She also worked with a riding trainer who took her out horseback riding blindfolded. ''We rode and cantered and jumped blindfolded,'' Miss Dern said. ''Universal almost killed me when they found out I was in canyons riding blindfolded.''
In the case of ''Smooth Talk,'' by contrast, she was cast just four days before shooting began and did not have time for such rigorous preparation. Joyce Chopra, the film's director, said that Miss Dern was recommended to her by Nancy Ellison, the still photographer on the film, who also happened to be the wife of Jerome Hellman, who had produced ''Coming Home,'' co-starring Bruce Dern. Miss Chopra said, ''When I called Laura, she wasn't home, and on her answering machine she had the James Taylor song that we were planning to use in the scene at the mall in the film. That was such an uncanny coincidence that I knew Laura was going to be right for the part.''
The actress and the director enjoyed a close collaboration throughout the production of ''Smooth Talk.'' ''Joyce Chopra, being a woman, knew everything that the girl was going through without me having to relay it to her,'' Miss Dern commented. ''She was also a first-time director, and I didn't feel too intimidated to tell her if I didn't agree with her about something. And she felt the same with me, because I wasn't Miss Prima Donna. We had a wonderful time collaborating. There was one scene where I was supposed to put on makeup in the bathroom. And I knew so many people who talk to themselves in the mirror. So I tried that and they kept it in.''
Miss Chopra offered some impressions of working with Miss Dern: ''Maybe it's because of her parents, but Laura understands how film is put together. She understands everyone's job, knows exactly what the cameraman does. I feel her contribution was crucial, because she brings a warmth to the part of Connie that was not really there on the written page.''
After ''Smooth Talk'' Miss Dern was hired by the director, David Lynch, to co-star in ''Blue Velvet,'' a suspense film scheduled to be released in September. Miss Dern had been a fan Mr. Lynch's ''Elephant Man'' and wanted to work with him, though the experience turned out to be different from some of her other collaborations with directors. ''Instead of letting go, this time I had to confine myself to David's vision,'' Miss Dern explained. ''He's not an actor's director in the sense that you created for yourself. He's already created what he wants to see in his film, and you have to become what he has envisioned. That was challenging in a different way.''
The success of ''Mask'' and ''Smooth Talk'' has brought Miss Dern many more offers, but most of them are not for very illustrious films. ''I'm getting quite a few offers,'' she said, ''but many of them are teen exploitation films, which I don't want to do. There are a couple of things that I'd love to do, but I'm still a little young to play 30. I can't do those Meryl Streep-type roles yet. What matters most is that I play someone totally different from what I've done before. I always like to play bright people. I'd like to play someone in politics - sort of a woman's version of 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.' And I'd also like to play a strung-out drug addict who sleeps with a different guy every night. Why not? I'd like to play everything.''
Because of her versatility, Miss Dern is not likely to be typecast. But that chameleonlike gift can be a mixed blessing; unimaginative producers may opt for actresses with a more identifiable personality. ''I think the next few years are going to be hard for Laura,'' suggested Treat Williams, her co-star in ''Smooth Talk.'' ''She's not as salable a persona as some of these other young actresses. She's not so easy to categorize. So I see a longer path for her, but ultimately a more rewarding one. There's nothing immediate about her talent. There's something much deeper in her than you can find in most actresses her age.''

So sorry to see that after almost 20 years (and giving up after about ten) Anthony Sylvan is still the worst, cheating, lying, mismanaged, scheming, underhanded, and worst quality of pool builders in existence. I see that most of the names in charge have changed except for Neil Coyne who was one of the worst of the worst of them.
They even went to court to try and force me to take my reviews way back then off the internet but the court allowed me to keep them onsite. My advice is still the same as it was then.
Run and Run fast away from these thieves. Sheryl Maccia

A suspect has been captured in the death of a San Antonio pizza delivery man who was run over by his own car as the vehicle was stolen.
San Antonio police say 35-year-old Robert Carlos Delcid was being held Wednesday on a capital murder charge.
Officer Douglas Greene says Delcid was arrested Tuesday night at a motel. A gun was recovered.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Greene had no information on bond or an attorney for Delcid, who's charged in last week's death of 46-year-old William James O'Neill. O'Neill left his car running during a July 2 delivery and struggled with an attacker before being run over.
The vehicle was recovered about 20 miles away.
Greene says tips and a witness who saw a man drive off in the car helped lead to Delcid.

Miley Cyrus has stripped naked in one of her most revealing shoots ever as she claims she is 'done with twerking'.
The 20-year-old We Can't Stop singer bared all for the latest issue of Rolling Stone in which she is seen topless and wearing nothing but chunky jewellery.
She's been making headlines in recent weeks after her controversial gyrating MTV VMAs performance, her Wrecking Ball music video and her persistent twerking.
And proving she's not about to slow down, the former Disney star has shed her once angelic image for good by removing every scrap of clothing to pose on the cover of the music magazine.
In the picture, Miley leans on the edge of a swimming pool while just about covering her breasts – which are strategically being hoisted upwards by her crossed arms.
MORE: Miley Cyrus compares herself to Breaking Bad
Presumably attempting a sexy pose, she is seen striking her trademark pose as she sticks her tongue out and appears to lick her shoulder,
Miley – the daughter of country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus – completed her look with heavily smudged black eye make-up and her short cropped hair slicked back.
Her dream-catcher tattoo can also be seen on her right side but the new inking – which she had done during the interview that accompanies her new pictures is hidden.
Miley got the words 'Rolling' and 'Stone' inked onto each of her feet in tribute to the mag.
While the front cover shot can't be much more revealing, it won't come as too much of a shock to her fans given what they've seen already this month.
In the interview, as well as comparing herself to US cult phenomenon Breaking Bad, she says she may give up twerking after all of the controversy it caused last month.
'People are like, 'Miley thinks she's a black girl, but she's got the flattest ass ever,' she told the magazine.
'I'm like, "I'm 108 pounds! I know!" Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I'll probably never do that s**t again.'

Repartee Quotes
When we saw the rough cut in May, I turned around and said, 'George, you got this one right,' ... That's the first newsroom I've recognized on the big screen. That's the first one I could look at and say, 'I've been there,' and had that feeling and that tension, that palm sweating, camaraderie, repartee -- all of that. - Nick Clooney

I'm a big fan of Todoist as I've already mentioned but one area it does fall down on for me is how to manage software development projects within Todoist.
Normally a software project is managed in a team with tools like Jira or Trello with their column approach. These are both great products (some people aren't the biggest fan of Jira, but I think it's ok). It is going to interesting to see what affect Atlassian has on Trello now that they own it, will they move Trello into Jira?
So while I've found Todoist a fantastic tool for my day to day tasks, I've always struggled with it when it came to managing any personal software projects I had. The column approach that Trello and Jira give really help set out what tasks you'll need to do, what ones are in progress and which ones are complete.
The answer to this I think is the use of filters and labels, both of these features in Todoist can really help you set up a project with views of how the project is going.
Thinking about it when working on a software project there are a few things you need to see:
- What tasks/features need to be implemented
- What features are being developed now
- What needs to be tested/review
- What is waiting on someone else
- What is complete
You can set this up by first creating a Project, then add Labels for the various states of the project and finally create filters to give you the different views you want of the project.
So for example I may want to create a project for building a new mobile app
Then I'll create some new Labels for each 'column'.
I've given them all the same colour to make it easier to see them connected. I've also created one for the Project name (My_Mobile_App) this is so I can add that label to each task as well as the state of that task. Finally you can create some custom filters to give you an over view of the project. Filters like
- @My_Mobile_App & @Feature
- @My_Mobile_App & @Feature & In_Progress
- @My_Mobile_App & @Feature & For_Review
- @My_Mobile_App & @Feature & Signed_Off
With the labels and filters in place you can setup a great overview of the project. Another great feature of Todoist is you can invite others to that project. This can either be others working on the project or the client themselves who can get a view of how the project is going.

It's the end of the year. Ahh! This is it, the 4th quarter is over. 2014 is over. So it's time to wrap up my favourite reads that I read between October 1st through December 31st. In those 3 months I read a total of 58 books. A little less than I would have liked. But it is what it is. I had a few DNF's in there. I also did a lot of re-reading, especially in December. I love re-reading. Anyhow, that brought my grand total for the year to *drum roll* 242! WHAT? I'm not even going to pretend to know how I did that or feel like I'll even come close again next year. But we'll leave that for another post.
I don't think there was any big surprises this quarter. Books I expected to like or love I did. Sure there were a few I picked up on a whim and ended up enjoying quite a bit. That's the fun thing about reading. If we take out my re-reads, my average star rating hovered around a 4*. Which is great! I think that's what my average for the year will probably be(I'll have to do some math to really find out). I have a few series that I finished off. Quite a few sequels. And even more NA. It was a good fall. I may not have read as much as I'd hoped but for the most part I enjoyed what I picked up.
Without further ado, here are my favourites from the last 3 months.

It was a good fall. I may not have read as much as I'd hoped but for the most part I enjoyed what I picked up.
Without further ado, here are my favourites from the last 3 months.
It's no secret that I love this NA companion series that's set in Scotland. Soooo good. Echos of Scotland Street was highly anticipated as it's about one of the earlier characters little brothers. When we first meet him he was like 10ish. Now he's all grown up and just lovely. Cole is definitely all grown up. Working at a ink shop. My kind of guy. Him and Shannon have great chemistry. And I love how all the previous characters are right in the story too. That's the main thing I love about this series, they're all family and friends, so of course they're going to be in this characters life. I cannot wait for the next book. I hope this series never ends.
We finally got to get inside the very mysterious, Rowdy's head. It was brilliant. The Marked Men series is another of my fave NA series. I'm really sad there's only one more book to come. Nevermind, this is about Rowdy and Salem. They have a lot of intense history that is brought to the forefront when Salem surprisingly enters Rowdy's life. It's saddness, frustrating and a little hard to deal with at time. But also lovely, intense and hot. A fantastic installment to this series. I love watching these intense, scary yet beautiful looking guys find love. They all have these big hearts and once they find their lady that can match them and their intensity it's game over. It's quite enduring and heartwarming.
Are you surprised? Of course SCT made my favourites. This book! This series! It's my crack! I really think that this trilogy is JLA at her best. The dialogue is so snappy and organic. Not only does it give us Roth(swoon), but also Layla. And really all the other characters are fantastic. JLA really knows how to write a paranormal romance that gives its readers every aspect that we could want in a paranormal romance. SCT had so much twists and turns. Action and swoon. This is exactly what I want in a sequel, for me not to be reminded it's a sequel, to just read it as part of the whole story. #TeamRoth
I did read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer when it first came out. But failed to continue on with the series, mostly because the 3rd book kept getting pushed back. I'd say the wait was worth it. I think the Evolution is my favourite of the 3. Although they are all brilliant and twisty. It's really hard to describe these books without spoilers but I guess they're like a mystery/thriller/paranormal hybrid... There's so much confusion and WTF moments that I just couldn't put any of the books down. They're one sitting reads. I love how messed up Mara is. I love Noah(swoon). I love so many of the characters. It's been weeks since I finished the trilogy and I'm still trying to comprehend everything. I will definitely do a re-read in the nearish future. It's a need.
The Walled City is at first glance a dystopian. But than I read it and realized the book is based off of real events. There was a walled city in China. There was no rules in this city. Crime runs rampant. Graudin brought this really scary but intriguing city to life in her book. I love the Chinese culture(diversity for the win). I found this to be a complete page turner as it's just full of thrilling and action filled moments. The 3 MC's had their good moments and their flaws. I just found The Walled City really unique. It kept my adrenaline running on high.
If you haven't already, pre-order this book. The wait is well worth it.
I am a massive fan of Keyes. So of course I jumped up and down when I heard she had a new book coming out this year. It sure as hell didn't disappoint. I love her dark humor. As well as how real her characters are. They are real people with plenty of flaws, that make the wrong decisions. Realism, what... This book is about Stella. There's kind of like four different time lines happening(not all at once but they do go back a forth). There's the present, when Stella is back home in Ireland after everything feel apart(at this point we don't know what feel apart, besides her life). The before before is the lead up to her time in the hospital and than her time in the hospital. Than once we've covered that before we go to the most recent before where Stella was in New York and what happened there. Which than leads us back to the present. Confused? It seems confusing written like that, but in actuality it really worked. I was never once scratching my head wondering where I was in Stella's life or what everything was pertaining to. I loved reading all the different timelines, but I was definitely flipping those pages as fast as I could possibly read them because I wanted to know what happened to make Stella's life go to shit. There was a lot highs and lows, frustration and shady moments. But there's also reality and a lot of heart warming moments. Brilliant.Yes, I jumped on this train. And if you have yet to, you obviously have a huge chunk of your life missing. I just can't even with this series. It is wonderful and hilarious and just so so so good. I didn't even know what to expect from this 4th volume and even if I did I wouldn't have guessed on where the story was going. It felt so real this time. There was actual marriage problems. And that didn't even seem out of place in something that is very sci-fi. That ending! Ah! There isn't even a release date for the next volume. The wait will surely kill me.
Forbidden was something I put off reading for a long time. All I kept hearing was how it would break my heart. Add in the very dark, taboo topic of the book. That's something you have to prepare yourself for. Forbidden definitely broke my heart. It's beautiful and disturbing story. Suzuma is the ultimate queen of heart break. I know incest is wrong. The brother and sister know incest is wrong. But Suzuma just makes you want to see them come through this in one piece. I was talking to Lily well I was reading along(she'd read this already), and said to her does it make me crazy to hope they get to be together. I'm rooting for them. There was many points I forgot they were siblings. Luckily, Lily said she had the same thoughts and feelings. But still... There's more to the story than the incest. So much more. For anyone that is scared and put off by that topic, I assure you that you don't need to be. Pick up this beautiful and haunting book.
"How can something so wrong feel so right...?"
If you haven't already, pre-order this book. The wait is well worth it.
The Ascendance Trilogy is one the most brilliant and intelligent fantasy series I have read. I can't believe it took me the whole year to get around to finishing it. But I wanted to re-read the first 2 books, which I did, so I would have a total refresher going into the last installment. I obviously can't say much because of spoilers. But it was the perfect ending. What originally captured me about The False Prince is the MC, Sage. He is so sassy, tricksy and intelligent. I love him. He is that wonderful character through all 3 books. Than you add in mind blowing twists and solid side characters and ah, perfection. This trilogy needs more exposure. It deserves to be read by everyone.
There you go. I'll catch you guys in my "Top 14 of 2014" post. Than you can see the ultimate best of the year.
What were your favourite reads from the past 3 months?

While in Britain and Denmark the legacies of the Cold War have since been registered as part of the culture of remembrance and in some cases protected as memorials, in Germany the sensitivity for this chapter of recent history is still lacking.

It's not just that Brasil, issued last week by Jazz Legacy Production, features notable stateside jazz stars like Roy Hargrove, Claudio Roditi and Paquito D'Rivera, or even that he's updating familiar compositions by the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim, or that he completed the sessions with a group of notable Brazilian heroes like drummer-percussionist Vanderlei Pereira, pianist David Feldman and guitarist Toninho Horta.
It's all of that.
Yet, Yotam Silberstein's gently assured six-string work rises above the distractions of big names and big songs, propelled by both passion and delicate sensitivity, by both musicality and technical facility. He not only matches Hargrove's flugelhorn, stride for stride on Jobim's lyrical Falando de Amour," he adds interesting new shadings. (Hargrove also appears on updates Jobim's Antigua" and Eu te Amo," as well as Yotam's original Nocturno"a tribute to Brazilian composers that finds Yotam tangling pleasantly with Horta.) D'Rivera appears on clarinet for Dorival Caymmi's Saudade Da Bahia," as well as on"O Barquinho," along with flugelhornist Roditi. Horta returns for a final touching duet with Yotam (one that underscores his underrated influence on the younger Yotam) on the album-closing Samba da Minha Terra," also composed by Caymmi.
Again, though, it's Yotamperhaps best known these days as a member of Monty Alexander's group, he's also toured with James Moody, Benny Golson, Frank Wess and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Band, among otherswho I keep coming back to. Brasil is Yotam's fourth album as a leader, and his second for Jazz Legacy Productions following 2010's Resonance, but it somehow feels like his more deeply expressed, fully formed work to date.
On a house party of an album that could have provided a series of distractions away from Yotam's warm, free-flowing articulationspleasant distractions, mind you; but distractions all the sameBrasil ends up being a tour de force for its hard-swinging host.

When a woman goes down on us to show her appreciation for our existence, we should do our best to ensure that the act lasts as long as possible. And although you don't want to make her mouth numb or give her lockjaw, you do want the experience to last somewhat longer than 2 minutes. That said, if you tend to get too excited when your woman is licking your penis, here are some ways to make it last longer than usual.
1. Make Her Change Tempo
Instead of bobbing her head up and down like she's in a marathon, encourage your woman to lick you at different speeds. By changing paces, your penis will experience different sensations, thereby lessening the chances of your letting go too soon. If you're accustomed to quickness, her slow movements will give you a few moments to regain control, and vice versa.
2. Don't Let Her Use Her Hands
Since you're well aware that masturbation eventually leads to ejaculation, chances are that if she uses her hands to stroke you while she uses her mouth, you'll ejaculate more quickly than usual. Play a game: tell her that she can't use her hands to touch your penis, but she can use them to touch any other part of your body.
3. Let her lick the surrounding areas
Every once in a while, get her to use her tongue on the surrounding areas. Introduce her to your inner thighs, your testicles, or even your anus and let her get creative with that great mouth of hers.
Again, a game is the way to go. Tell her that she can lick anywhere on your body, except your penis. But beware: chances are the teasing will have you exploding when she does finally place her mouth over your head.
RELATED: Best Oral Sex Positions To Try
4. Interrupt fellatio periodically
Whether you penetrate her or simply get her to stop licking you so you can focus on her body for a while, interrupting oral sex will help you keep your ejaculate at bay. To substitute for the oral sex, you can stop her and do your oral thing on her, or kiss her, or rub her body for a while.
5. Get into the 69 position
Because you'll be trying your damnedest to get her off in the 69 position, you won't be able to fully concentrate on the sensations she's giving you. Get into position, let her do her thing and focus all your attention on giving her orgasm.

Unable to find IT staff within budget and having had poor experiences with foreign agencies and freelancers, we set up Philippines offices to support our own UK tech businesses. Speaking with contacts back in the UK we realised many businesses were facing the same issues and created Cloud Employee
Cloud Employee co-founders Nick Hargreaves and Seb Hall both originally ventured to the Philippines to set up operations for their own respective tech businesses several years ago.
Both had struggled to hire IT staff in the UK within budget and been dissatisfied with remote staffing agencies in both Eastern Europe and India. Foreign developers working via freelancer websites had also proven unreliable. Both individually took the plunge and moved to the Philippines to build their own direct operations.
The Philippines stood out as the ideal place, benefiting from a Western culture, high proficiency with the English language, and a US syllabus university system that graduates over 130,000 tech and engineering students a year compared to just 25,000 in the UK.
Knowing other companies back in the UK were facing similar skills-shortage issues as well as also having had poor experiences outsourcing, the pair joined forces to leverage their existing infrastructure and extensive Philippines business knowledge to launch Cloud Employee.
Cloud Employee was set up to disrupt and go above and beyond any other provider in the IT outsourcing industry. We act as a long-term strategic partner for clients and help them grow their business working as an extension of their in-house teams. Our model is Western managed tailored candidate recruitment as well as managing the ongoing physical operations reducing clients' risk and financial outlay.
We're on a mission to help businesses - from startups and small enterprises to blue chip companies - easily grow their remote teams at the right cost. Our office is your office.
Cloud Employee is set up to disrupt and go beyond any other provider in the IT outsourcing industry. We act as a long-term strategic partner for our clients as we help them grow their business.
To empower our partners with exceptional IT services and customer service in order to support startups globally while uplifting Filipino talents. We bridge the gap.

Excellence is our end-goal. We build our projects with high regard to quality and timeliness.
Clients are confident to rely on us to deliver results efficiently and we do so happily.
