George Bennings was a meteorologist stationed at American Antarctic research station, U.S. Outpost 31. The character appears in the 1982 film The Thing and was portrayed by actor Peter Maloney.
Through an unknown event sometime in 1972 he met Garry who he would be friends with for ten years to come.
During the winter of 1982, a group of Norwegians chased a shape-shifting extraterrestrial organism (imitating an Alaskan Malamute) from their ruined research station to U.S. Outpost 31. The dog runs to the station's American crew, pawing and licking at Bennings. After his warnings fail to be understood, the armed Norwegian shoots at the dog, grazing the researcher, who drops to the ground clutching his wounded leg. The Norwegian is subsequently shot dead by Garry, who mistakes his actions for hostility, and the Dog-Thing is adopted by the ignorant crew. After being stitched-up by Dr. Copper and pouring himself a drink, Bennings retires to his living quarters; complaining to Nauls over the intercom when the cook's music prevents him from sleeping.
Several hours later, as evening fell, Copper and helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady return from their investigation of the Norwegian camp with the charred remains of a split-faced creature - which all present, including Bennings, stare at in disgust. As the creature is autopsied, Bennings, Norris and Garry play a game of poker in the rec room. He is startled by the dog brushing past his leg under the table and requests that the station's Dog Handler, Clark, put it into the kennel. During the night, he is alerted to a disturbance in the kennels and rushes to wake the other men; informing Childs that MacReady requested the flamethrower. Returning to the kennels with the men, he witnesses the dog-thing assimilating the outpost's sled dogs. After the creature is incinerated and tests are performed, Dr. Copper decides to lock the remains in a storage room. Bennings and Windows move the Things to the store and the researcher is left alone to collect his gear from the room - whereupon the creature ensnares him with tentacles. The Bennings-Thing is discovered mid-assimilation and is burned.
- Witnessing the Bennings-Thing, a confused Garry remarks to MacReady that he has been friends with Bennings for ten years.
- Unlike the film, the script and the novelization both had a different death scene planned for Bennings which was never shot due to constraints on time and money, which would have seen him dragged under a sheet of ice while working alongside Mac and Childs to keep the remaining dogs (who would have been assimilated by the thing) from reaching the coast.
- In the short story on which The Thing is based (Who Goes There?) he is called Benning and his final fate is never shown.
- Bennings original death in the film was with a screwdriver in the neck by an unknown killer next to the kennels

Two Peas in a Pod : Two Girls in a Room
Our girls are now sharing a room. This change came about under the guise of convincing ourselves that what is really best for our girls is for them to share a room, bonding, sisterly love, yada, yada, yada. But the true reason is one of pure selfishness. I wanted my own room, well it isn't just my room, it will the office/my room/guest room. I want my own craft/sewing/blogging space where I can get away from toys, music gear, dirty dishes and just create. This will make me a better mama because it will allow me to get closer to that old gal I used to know. When I was Heather B and not Heather J, when I would just dig through my fabric collection and decide to just start sewing, or pick up my journal, grab the french press and write (now it is my laptop and some tea), or just be a lazy ass doing nothing but reading some crappy tabloid magazines. My own space will allow me to do all of this, I hope, and sure it may only be for 5 minutes of each day, but it will be my five minutes. Is that too much for a tired, overworked, loving mama to ask for? Please girls, I pray you love being roommates and that you never, ever, want to move out of your room, because I'm not giving my room up without a fight.

The other day, I scratched myself. Don't really know how, the only evidence is the healing scar. I look at other scars and immediately recall their cause; jumping off a bike that, unbeknownst to me, had no brakes, the eyebrow scar that resulted in stitches because my cousin's dog bit me and the cheek scar acquired when rolling down a hill in fun.
The scars have faded, but I'm aware of their presence. Some days, I look at myself and don't readily see them. Other days, they're the first point of focus. A scar is a reminder of pain from which you've come through the other side. Scars don't define who you are. They're evidence of what you've endured.

Assassin's Soul
Noella Royce
He's an enigma. Seductive, dominant, dismissive, distant… and this just makes her want him more.
He's an Adonis, all rippling muscles, magnetic charisma, and supernatural strength
And just might be a murderer
Why can't I stay away from him?
All our lives are on the line on this mission
But the one man I can't trust is the one I desire
Two groups, the empaths and the tattooed assassins, have joined together to attempt to wrest control of the city of Chicago from the evil demon sorcerer who invaded and took it over ten years before. Andie Oster simply wants to focus on the mission at hand and try to keep herself and her friends alive, challenges made harder by the fact that their new assassin teammates and their commander don't seem to trust the empaths.
This is especially true of their field leader Dante, a magnetic killer with dark eyes, an insane body, and emotions locked behind a tight wall that no empath can reach. Andie is instantly drawn to Dante, and can't stop herself from hooking up with him even when he's dismissive, behavior she'd never put up with before in a guy.
What was it about him she couldn't resist, and why was she sure he was more than he appeared?
And would her infatuation get them all killed, since there was a murderer in their midst, and all the clues pointed to Dante being the culprit?
Assassin's soul is an 80k paranormal romance about inexplicable connection in high-tension situations with empaths, assassins and demons. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger, explicit sex.
I am organizing a release week blitz for Assassin's Soul by Noella Royce, an Adult Paranormal Romance novel.

Background and Mission | Chapter Bylaws |
Officers and Councilors for 2018-2019
| Chapter Annual Meeting | Past Meetings
The formation of the local Midwest affiliate of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) was spearheaded on June 10, 1987 by Dr. William K. Riker, past president of ASPET, Dr. Seymour Ehrenpreis of the Chicago Medical School, Dr. Toshio Narahashi of Northwestern Medical School, and Dr. Israel Hanin of Loyola University Chicago. Key individuals in the Chicago area were then contacted to establish a voluntary executive working group that ultimately organized the first Scientific Day at the University of Chicago on Thursday, May 12, 1988.
Since the first scientific program, annual meetings have been held each spring to foster the goals of ASPET to promote scientific communication among research workers interested in pharmacology. The chapter has consistently met the ASPET requirements of a chapter affiliate throughout its existence by holding a least one annual meeting, maintaining a membership roster of at least 20 ASPET members in good standing.

The judges selected to pick the winners of one of Lancashire's leading business awards will undergo a unique training course next Tuesday (April 19).
The Be Inspired Business Awards, the BIBAs, has created a tailored package of training to prepare its judges for facing the applicants for the 18 prizes which are up for grabs this year.
Dr Lis Smith, principal at Preston's College which is sponsoring the awards, said the training was crucial to ensure they were asking the right questions of the applicants to allow them to select the winners.
She will chair the Employer of the Year judging panel which includes the college's Vice-Principal for Enterprise and Engagement, Carl Speight, Jeff Hays, of recruitment specialists, Hays, and Fylde RFC's Richard Kernot.
Dr Smith said: "Having been involved in the BIBAs for a number of years now, I know that it prepares its judges superbly for the difficult job of selecting the winners from a superb line-up of applicants.
"Every business and individual which enters these awards has put a huge amount of effort into completing their applications and we owe them to at least match that in our preparation for the interview stages.
"At Preston's College, we work in partnership with businesses across Lancashire and beyond to help them deliver the support and training to keep our economy thriving, so we recognise what is involved in being a great employer.
"That stands us in good stead to help the judges to select the right winner for the Employer of the Year category and today's training session will help prepare us further to do that."
In 2015, Ian Hall, the chairman of Preston-based retail group James Hall and Son, collected the lifetime achievement prize, Lancastrian of the Year, when the BIBAs handed out its prizes in front of a sell-out crowd at the Blackpool Tower in September.
Social enterprise Jobs Friends and Houses CIC, which works with ex-offenders, won its Most Inspiring Business of the Year prize and individual prizes went to Phil Lawson of Skelmersdale's Virtue Technologies, who won Entrepreneur of the Year and Louise Wilkinson, who runs Nelson-based Lomeshaye Village Day Nursery, who was named Business Woman of the Year.

Last month, Congress approved and President Obama signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, also known as the omnibus spending bill, funding the government through September.
The Omnibus Bill has been as vilified by conservatives as it has celebrated by liberals. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been labeled a "sell out" for his role in pushing the 2,000 page, $1.8 trillion legislation through. With 316 House members voting for and 113 voting against it took 61% of House Republicans joining with 90% of the 166 Democrats to pass it.
Among the seven member South Carolina House delegation, Democrat Jim Clyburn united with left-of-center Republican Tom Rice (R-7) and Joe Wilson.
Joe Wilson?
Wilson, 68, is running for his 10th term representing South Carolina's 2nd District, an area stretching from Columbia to the Savannah River. The Second District is very Republican and very conservative with considerable Tea Party influence. This makes Wilson's vote for the omnibus bill all the more curious.
President Obama's readiness to sign the legislation along with the support of such liberal luminaries as Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn and, on the Senate side, Harry Reid should be plenty of reason to cause Wilson's constituents (like me) to question why he supported it. Of South Carolina's Senators, only Lindsey Graham voted in favor while Tim Scott opposed. Even Graham's buddy, John McCain voted "no" for what has been called a back room deal written by lobbyists.
In his official statement following passage, Wilson said:
"This funding bill is a tremendous victory for American families. I am grateful that this legislation fights for our conservative principles—lifts the ban on domestic oil export, prevents new funding for Obamacare, upholds pro-life values, and stops the IRS from suppressing the civic participation of 501(c)(4) organizations.
"It also provides critical protections for national security and prevents the President from closing Guantanamo Bay or transferring any detainees. South Carolina families benefit from this legislation: the funding bill also provides key funding for the construction and operation of the MOX facility, gives stability to operations at the Savannah River Site, and supports the thousands of service members and their families at Fort Jackson."
It appears the Congressman was merely spitting out vapid, CYA talking points that makes me wonder if he even read the bill. There are many points of contention about why the Omnibus Bill is so bad, though, to be fair, it does have a few good qualities. Those few, however, don't redeem the greater bad.
Following are excerpts from statements by others in the Palmetto State's delegation:
Jeff Duncan (3rd District)
"Congress folded like a cheap suit and gave the President practically everything he wanted. Voting "no" on this Omnibus spending bill was one of the easiest things I've ever done in Congress. The bill catered to Washington's desires while completely ignoring the concerns of the American people.
The White House is creating a national security disaster through its refugee and visa programs, yet Congress lacked the will to stand up and put a stop to it in order to protect our citizens. In a tragic betrayal of the people's trust, Congress will actually spend more money under a Republican controlled Senate than it did when the Senate was controlled by Democrats.
"Some Members of the Congress are so risk averse that they will agree to anything to avoid a government shutdown. Unfortunately, when Members of Congress worry more about keeping their jobs than standing up for freedom, the American people lose every time.
"This is a blow to our Constitution and our entire system of government. I am ashamed that there weren't more Members joining with me to oppose this horrible bill."
Trey Gowdy (4th District)
"Less than 6 months removed from last summer's so called debt crisis – we are on the verge yet again of committing an act of generational embezzlement. We are $16 trillion in debt because we refuse to have a serious conversation about the role of government versus the obligations of the individual. We want to live in a land with unlimited personal freedom yet Congress lacks the courage and the discipline to require a corresponding measure of personal responsibility.
"I fear the political leaders of today have become profiles in timidity and greed."
Mark Sanford (1st District)
"The omnibus bill that we just voted on today represented the culmination of a budget breakdown in Washington and, in many ways, showed the degree to which the debt, deficit, and government spending are currently seen as secondary issues in this town.
"It reversed our country's prohibition on the export of crude oil designed to foster energy independence…which makes sense until one considers concurrent federal activity off our coast designed to open up oil leases. To me, it doesn't make sense to open up drilling off the coast of South Carolina under the pretense of a move towards energy independence, only to have what might be extracted sent to France.
"The bill allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to continue its land-grab by allowing it to keep its expanded definition of "waters of the United States." I have long been a proponent of the environment, but the resulting expanded jurisdiction of the EPA will have far-reaching negative effects in low lying areas of South Carolina."
"Most importantly, today's omnibus did not address the question of Syrian refugees in any meaningful manner. This was the best opportunity Congress had to reach some sort of consensus on the matter, and this deal flat fails to do so. I truly believe that by failing to put meaningful controls on the refugee program and ensure fail-safe background checks on Syrians, we are putting our national security at risk.
"Additionally, since coming to Congress I have consistently voted against stopgap spending bills that do not address our nation's fiscal issues or address the President's reckless agenda. Today Congress busted spending caps and allowed the EPA's regulatory state to continue."
It's worthwhile to look at the specifics Rep Wilson cited as reason for supporting the bill.
- "Lifts the ban on domestic oil export"
The good provision is a very good provision, indeed. Lifting the crude oil export ban would generate more jobs for Americans, supply the United States and the world with more affordable energy, and provide important geopolitical benefits for Washington and its allies.
But the numerous bad provisions waste taxpayer money and provide targeted tax credits to politically connected companies.
A handout for the oil industry. The legislation would provide a targeted tax credit for small, independent refiners and allow independents to exempt 75 percent of transportation costs when calculating their Section 199 manufacturing deductions. This is nothing more than obvious compensation for lifting the ban on crude oil exports.
Absent from the text are provisions that would block the Obama administration's climate change regulations, regulations that will drive up energy costs no climate benefit. Instead, the federal government has hundreds of millions of dollars to dole out internationally through the Climate Investment Fund and Strategic Climate Fund. Notably missing from the omnibus spending bill is a provision prohibiting spending on the Green Climate Fund. [The Daily Signal]
- "Prevents new funding for Obamacare"
Kinda, but not really. The legislation provides a two-year delay in the "Cadillac" tax on high-cost health insurance policies that labor unions were pleading to repeal; a two-year delay in the medical device tax that is drying up research budgets in this critical industry; and a one-year delay in the Health Insurance Tax (HIT). [Forbes]
That's not the same thing as denying new funding.
- "Upholds pro-life values"
The deal allows hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates.
- "Stops the IRS from suppressing the civic participation of 501(c)(4) organizations."
This is a bit overstated. Section 127 denies the Internal Revenue Service funds "to issue, revise, or finalize any regulation, revenue ruling, or other guidance not limited to a particular taxpayer relating to the standard which is used to determine whether an organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare for purposes of section 501(c)(4)…"
This is a response to the scandal in which the IRS targeted conservative non-profits to delay if not deny tax-exempt status. In reality, the IRS can slow down the process without funding, so this line item is more show than substance.
- "Provides critical protections for national security and prevents the President from closing Guantanamo Bay or transferring any detainees."
Not really …
"SEC. 527. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in this or any other Act ma(y be used to transfer, release, or assist in the transfer or release to or within the United States, its territories, or possessions Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or any other detainee."
This means detainees CAN continue to be transferred to other countries.
Nor does it restrict the Department of Homeland Security or Department of Justice grants to cities that resist the enforcement of federal immigration law, also known as sanctuary cities.
- "South Carolina families benefit from this legislation: the funding bill also provides key funding for the construction and operation of the MOX facility, gives stability to operations at the Savannah River Site,
The Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Savannah River Site is behind schedule and over budget. The Omnibus Bill retains the $345 million, but of the $345 million designated, $5 million is to investigate alternatives to the facility's purpose.
- "…supports the thousands of service members and their families at Fort Jackson."
It is unclear what Rep Wilson meant by stating that the bill "supports the thousands of service members and their families at Fort Jackson" unless he means the 1.3% pay increase for the military and federal civilian employees. According to Military Times, "For an E-4 with three years of service, the raise means about $350 more in take-home pay next year. An O-4 with 12 years will get about $1,090 more."
That's 95 cents a day – $29 a month – for enlisted personnel. Is this Joe Wilson's idea of "support(ing)" service members and their families?
Given the demographics of South Carolina's Second Congressional District, it is unimaginable for Rep Wilson to support a Barack Obama-friendly piece of legislation.
Was he not paying attention?
Was he influenced by special interests?
Was he persuaded by the new Speaker of the House?
Was it poor judgement?
Whatever the reason, it's very difficult to see how the Second District was represented in his vote.

LEGAZPI CITY--Military authorities belitled the communist movement's declaration to launch a full tactical offensive against government forces reportedly to signal its strong resistance to the holding of the RPUS Balikatan exercises in three provinces in Bicol.
Army Col. Ariel Bernardo, commander of the 901st Army Brigade based in Albay, said the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is always prepared to meet the challenges declared by the communist movement.
He said "normally our forces are always on heightened alert for any offensive initiated by the New People's Army (NPA) rebels who are bent to sow terror in the countryside."
Bernardo tagged the communist movement as "antipeople and anti-development" as manifested by their attacks on government forces and extortion and harassment committed against innocent civilians and business groups.
Earlier, Greg Banares, spokesman of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Bikol, said in a press statement the central committee of the NPA has ordered its operating units across the region to launch an all-out offensive against government forces to thwart the Balikatan exercises in the provinces of Albay, Sorsogon and Masbate in April.
Banares said the communist central committee directed all NPA groups in Bikol and in Western Visayas to pursue an offensive against the government because of the scheduled Balikatan exercises.
Meanwhile, Bernardo said a Balikatan survey team composed of US Navy and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel have finalized the humanitarian mission plan.
The survey team has pinpointed the town of Libon in the third district of Albay, the towns of Juban and Irosin in Sorsogon and Uson and Mobo in Masbate as venues of the Balikatan mission. He said the 16th Balikatan exercise will be absolutely humanitarian as he emphasized that "there will be no war games."
The US contingent will bring along some 400 US Navy engineers and doctors, medical staffs and medicines, as well as engineering equipment.
The Philippine counterpart will send thousands of AFP personnel to undertake the humanitarian missions.
From Mindanao, a war-torn region of Southern Philippines, the RP-US Balikatan exercises will be moving to the Bikol Peninsula this year, Bernardo said.
A hotbed of insurgency for the past three decades, Bikol is an ideal site for the exercise, because of its areas in terms of land, sea and air.
The provinces of Albay, Sorsogon and Masbate are considered hot spots as far as the insurgency problem is concerned. Bernardo said the joint military exercise would be beneficial to both countries since they would learn new techniques in medical and engineering services.
He said the exercise would include among others humanitarian missions such as construction of school buildings, water system facilities and farm-to-market roads with medical and dental mission components. (PNA)

Indeed, recognizing we are all parts of a whole, guarantees we will receive when we give - for we widen the channel when we do.ReplyDelete
Love the points you make here.
And great point about community versus commodity. That got me thinking:
What's the difference between commUNITY and commODITY? hmmm... sounds like it's understanding the truth of oneness - that together are stronger - versus emphasizing separation.
My sense is that we are moving into a deeper understanding of that truth in this nation - as we go through this current period of turmoil.
It takes time - and yes, lots of turbulence - but I think this is what we are doing.
Today's election is certainly interesting - a man who worked for justice for four girls versus a man who harassed and assaulted girls. A man who worked for more justice in the South versus a man who says the Old South under slavery was the better life. Can't really get any more clean than that on values, eh? Since they aren't difference in gender, heritage, etc.
I'm glad you're feeling better and enjoying the spirit of these holy-days.
Able to crush a scorpion with one step! Shouldn't you embroider that on something you wear?
Enjoy the many beauties of the season - including the opportunities to be kind and generous with others. That's my favorite part of the holiday.Replies
Yes, I certainly agree about that election Today... things get more and more 'interesting' for sure as to the polarity of people... and embroidering my Scorpion killing abilities on something is hilarious! *winks* May you also find all of the Beauty of the Season.Delete

My eldest son just started making some gifts for Christmas and is suddenly filled with excitement for the day. I think he understands the message.
His younger brother was puzzled why he wasn't excited about getting presents. Just not his love language I suppose.
That scorpion killer story...hilarious, and just a touch spooky!

As we discussed yesterday, Logan Couture of the San Jose Sharks went down with an injury at practice. We now know what that injury is, as the team revealed that the centre broke his right leg.
Surgery is on the docket for Couture and he's expected to miss four to six weeks as a result.
"Logan was injured in practice on Thursday in New Jersey and suffered a fractured right fibula at the ankle," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said. "He will be returning to San Jose to undergo surgery under the direction of Kaiser Permanente's medical team. He is expected to miss four to six weeks."
As we reported, Couture broke his leg during a five on five drill at practice on Thursday at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. The Sharks will play the Devils on Friday night.
As for Couture, he'll have surgery on the leg this weekend.
"Quick thank you to everyone for kind words. I know the boys will hold it down. I'll be back," he said on Twitter.
Couture is a key piece of the San Jose Sharks team and his presence will certainly be missed for this extended period of time. An awful lot can happen in four to six weeks.
The Sharks have called up forward Nikolay Goldobin from the AHL and had him take part in the morning skate in New Jersey. The 20-year-old from Moscow is a natural goal-scorer and can hit that extra gear in the offensive zone, so San Jose could get a look at his explosive speed in the near future. If there's a knock on Goldobin, and there is, it's that he needs to get a little stronger.
San Jose may also look to Ben Smith to fill in, as he's been a healthy scratch for the last three games.
Regardless of any bright side, it hurts to lose Couture like this. He'd been on the Sharks' most productive line, skating between Patrick Marleau and Joel Ward. And he registered an assist with a plus-1 rating.
But the Sharks should be able to weather this storm and it could provide an opportunity for Smith or Goldobin. That's a good thing, right?


text: To have the coffee right is one of the difficulties of the housekeeper. The making of coffee is a very simple operation, but the nicety and care with which it is prepared mark the difference between the good and bad decoction. The best quality of coffee carelessly made is not as acceptable as that well made from an inferior bean. Coffee readily absorbs foreign flavors. If the pot is wiped out with a soiled cloth, or if the coffee is strained through a flannel not perfectly sweet, the coffee betrays it. If the spout is allowed to collect a film of stale coffee, it will ruin all the fresh coffee put into the pot. To have perfect coffee, use an earthen or china pot, and have the water boiling when turned onto the coffee. Like tea, the results will not be right if the water is allowed to fall below the boiling-point before it is used. Have the coffee ground to a fine powder in order to get its full flavor as well as strength. There is great waste in having coffee ground coarse. A pound will go three times as far in the former as in the latter case, therefore a good coffee-mill is an economy in a household. Like tea, it should also be freshly made. It seems to lose its fine flavor if kept hot for any considerable time. Black coffee is usually made by dripping. Any coffee is better made in that way, using less coffee if less strength is desired, but a strong infusion diluted with hot milk makes a better drink than weak coffee flavored with milk.

Last week I enjoyed a variety of SW friendly meals combining the Extra Easy plan with the new kick ass weightloss plan, Extra Easy SP. Extra Easy SP basically utilises the speed and protein foods helping to speed up weightloss. There's no carbs, no fromage frais and no yoghurt so it was a bit different to the plan that I had been following at the end of last year.
Of course, the family didn't follow this plan so we were cooking a combination of meals to make sure Little Mr still got his dairy, protein and carbs as well as hubby of course. We are still making progress with Little Mr eating the same foods as us, he doesn't like tomato based foods so won't eat lasagne, chilli or spaghetti boblognese but of course, loves pizza! He likes chicken, sausages and fish fingers so usually combine our main meal with one of these and he's a happy little boy.
This week, we're going to use the slow cooker to help us with our meals. We're still adjusting to being back at work and if you've seen my updates on social media of late, you'll know that Little Mr isn't sleeping very well so we are trying to snatch 40 winks wherever possible and the slow cooker really does help save time. I'm still looking for more slow cooker meals to perfect, I've got a small collection of fail-safe recipes but would love to expand on the recipes we can successfully cook.
This week, we're planning on eating the following meals;
SW slow cooker campfire stew (gammon)
SW diet coke chicken
Slow cooked jacket potatoes with chilli con carne and salad
Beef Bourgignon with swede mash
Cottage pie with seasonal vegetables
We'll be using up some of the stocks in the freezer, we still have a whole load of frozen vegetables to use and we'll be defrosting the chilli that I made a couple of weeks ago for a quick evening meal on Wednesday where we don't have much time.
Breakfasts are mostly eaten at my desk at work but I prepare a lot of my fruit the night before so I can literally grab it and go in the morning. I've been enjoying mullerlight yoghurts topped with fruit and all bran or weetabix with fruit for a SP friendly option.
For lunch, I'll be having crustless quiche with my usual chicken salads. I might make some soup if I get chance but of course it's all dependent on Little Mr settling off to sleep quickly of an evening.
We shop every week for our fresh produce and either shop in store or get a delivery booked in if we've made plans. We do tend to shop wherever we have vouchers and at the moment, Sainsburys are winning our custom with their awesome savings coupons. We do tend to buy pretty much everything in one shop as it saves time but do sometimes buy our frozen vegetables in bulk from Farmfoods or Iceland dependent on quality and price.
What are you eating this week? Have a good week in the kitchen.
I'm linking up with Mrs M's Meal Planning Monday, don't forget to check out what every one else is eating over on her blog.

Guelph lady receives residence detain in dental bureau rascal box fuelled by gambling addiction
GUELPH — Problem gambler Sharon Keleher was condemned to 9 months of residence detain in provincial justice Wednesday for defrauding 11 word companies of some-more than $45,100 in sum by a internal dental office, another trusting victim, where she worked.
The Guelphite entered a guilty defence Wednesday afternoon.

Scorpio is one
of the zodiac's excretion signs. Up until now your partner has been
satisfied with you just cumming, but it's becoming so routine. You
see, cumming may have been enough in the 20th century, but this
is a new millennium. After cumming you should explore your nose,
ears, ass and mouth. Be romantic. Blow your nose in their bellybutton.
Clean your ears with a Q-tip and put it in their eye; there's enough
to go around. Shit on them! Spit on them! You can even cry on them
and call them Mommy/Daddy. The possibilities are endless. Vomit,
urine, blisters. It's endless. Don't limit yourself to one excretion.
Show em' what you've really got!

Colt 1911 High Qualityby TaylarRoids Jun 4, 2016
Please Login to Comment
Would it be possible to get this without the supports please? I want to print it without. Thank you
A$AP Rocky used your file in his music video!!! check this out, 100% sure this is your design
Some guy just re-posted this thing.
Whats that link?
It isn't a re-post
The uploader deleted the Thing that used to be at that address at my request.
can u upload a file with out supports plz as i need to be able to cut it up as i have is small printer
As the description states, the original file without supports is available from another source that is linked.
I want to just print some grips for my 1911 how did you do the checkering on the grips? help would be appreciated.
Hi we made this file using makerbot replicator + while removing the custom supports the edges is coming out with the supports can u upload a file with out custom supports.
Thank you.
I made mine out of PETG and have painted it. It turned out killer! I have primed it with black and painted it with stainless paint. It is a Destiny 2 inspired paint job. I love the print.
Awesome model! I plan on printing mine hollow and filling with epoxy/lead shot to add weight.
Awesome job on the guy, we loved it looks very good.
Made a 3D Time-Lapse of the print here https://youtu.be/o1B_w0iQBfY print details are in the video description.
Just came across this web-site and found my model of 1911A1 here!
Thanks for the updates you've made and also for giving me credit! :-)
is the original file where you got this uploaded in stl format? also, im guessing you wouldent be able to upload a model without the grips attached?
in slicer you can just right click cut while you have it on its side and boom the grips are separate and off to the side then!.
(you would have to adjust it with a slider bar to adjust depth of cut) its easie as pie.
Yes the original is an STL, and no I cannot do that.
Would you mind sharing your support settings in Meshmixer so that others can create similar supports?
The supports were made 100% manually by using the shift drag technique based solely on where I thought it would need supports.
Could you please also have a version without support. The support you have added isn't as good as S3D's own support.
Otherwise great model!
As the Details section states, the original modeling was done by someone else and you can download the unmodified file from their website. Me uploading an unmodified version would not be covered under a creative commons license, and would actually be plagiarism.
Would the Monoprice Mini V2 be too small to produce this?
Couldn't I print it in parts and super glue it? Surely I can get creative in a slicer and fit it and snap it together.
Man, this print is giving me a headache, first try the nozzle clogged (for the first time ever) at around 70%, second try, the support for the triggerframe lost layeradhesion, letting it finish right now, i guess third time will be the charme, maybe.
My nozzle clogged at 90% :-( The built in supports are totally fine and work well. Had to use a knife to get em off my bed (PEI Sheet). Was turning out great too in the carbon fibre PLA from ProtoPasta. Shame it failed so long into the print. Might try again and print hotter. I can even make out the tiny writing on the gun too even at .20 layer heights.
Not sure how this is "not safe for work"
Agreed. Wish there was a button to mark it SFW.
Yeah I'm not sure how it got marked NSFW, but I'm in an email battle with em about it.
When I open this up in Cura it says," Auto scaled to 76% of original size." Is this normal??
Rotate it diagonal on your print bed and you may be able to scale it up more. Sounds like you're hitting size limits
Printed this and it looks great. I'm surprised how small it is. My hands are small and it feels perfect and I'm almost certain my slicer didn't scale it down.
That green mat in my picture background is one inch square marks, so if yours is about 8.5" from muzzle to hammer then yup it's full scale!
can you print this gun in pla
Printed like a dream on a cheap hictop i3. Picture uploaded. Would love the STL as want to print it in metal. Thanks very much, a top quality file.
I do have two printers , Wilson 2 and kossol XL and both tip over one or two support beams so the compleet print failed...My suggestion is little bit more beams between them ....I am going to try it .
Knock them over like they unstick from the build plate? If so that sounds like an adhesion issue to me.
here in the netherlands we also have support dammage problems .....hours spent for nothing ....supports are not good enough ...
Support damage in that it's hard to get off the part and mars it? Or the supports fall over and the print fails?
I don't know if anyone is still on this post, but I would like to ask one thing before I print: Are the supports easily detachable? like are they just there for printing and I can cut them off or pull them off? Or am I better off leaving them on for display, as its part of it and might actually destroy the pistol? Please answer ASAP as I am excited to print, I would just like to know.
It was designed to easily pop off if your printer is well calibrated.
Hey thanks for replying! I can't wait for it to finish printing, so far so good!
Could you please add the model without the supports?
No. For the millionth time THE LINK TO THE ORIGINAL WORK IS IN THE DESCRIPTION. I uploaded my file with supports under the creative commons license, uploading the original without modification would be blatant plagiarism.
This is awesome....Is there any chance of getting the STL without the supports? Cheers
So... you don't need support material for the beaver tail?
It looks pretty flat, seems like no one has had any problems though?
These support structures are awesome. Did you custom design them, or were they autogenerated by software?
Supports were custom, done in meshmixer. There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube on how to add them manually.
aww ya now i can threaten clowns without getting arrested
I printed this out and below is my time lapse . Printed on my MakerGear M2
What settings did you use? I have an M2 as well and am going to print this on it.
Could you make a version where it is in two parts - Gun and Grip - It could be so cool in silver and wood for grip! Would really appreciate it. /E
Do you have a version of this that does not have the supports? Are the supports you added easily removable? I get mine printed in nylon powder so I don't need the support structure. So glad you shared this.
Can this be printed on the replicator mini?
I'm sure you could scale it down to that size... but you would have to cut it into parts on your own for it to be full size.
Has anybody else noticed the the roll stamp mark on the right sides reads "MISHAI" rather than "M1911A1"?
I have a Wanhao Duplicator I3 and I had to scale down the size a bit in order to fit lengthwise along the plate. I started to print it but it failed around 2 hours in leaving me tired and frustrated.
I'll be honest, I know almost nothing about 3D printers and I thought this project would be easy to make. What printer are you using and what is the density that you set it at?
Sorry about your frustration we've all been there, 3D printing isn't currently as easy as one would hope.
If you could tell us the nature of your failure we would be able to assist you better, was it a clog, jam, part falling over, etc? Also your settings would help too, temps, speeds, resolution, etc.
One problem that I feel is likely even without knowing your settings could be due to you scaling it down. The supports I made are designed to be printed at that scale, any smaller and they could start to easily cause a failure.
Since my printer was "not" big enough, I rotated it to print it diagonally so that might have been the problem. I also scaled it down to 80% its size so that could also have been a factor in its demise. I will try to print it today at 100% size and see if I have the same problem. My speed was set to normal and the resolution was normal so I don't think that was the problem.
Thanks for all the help!
I am currently printing it on a Wanhao Duplicator i3 right now and it fit just as the model had imported it (oriented left to right on the bed). Almost 5.5 hrs in so far and no issues yet (knock on wood).
I think it may just be a problem with calibration. What program do you use to print? Could you send me the settings that you are using to print it?
I think it may just be a problem with calibration. What program do you use to print? Could you send me the settings that you are using to print it?
using the latest cura on a windows 10 machine. I used the settings in the description - .2 layer, .18 initial layer, 4 shells, 5 top/bottom, speed - 60, hotend temp - 205, bed temp - 60, infill 10%. no supports, 3 line skirt. Hope this helps.
Progress pic: http://imgur.com/fcXuhzo
I was using normal speed so that could have been the problem, as for the other settings I will see if those make a difference. Thanks for the info! (My printer failed at almost the exact same time that you said you were at XD)
Yeah, my printer is still new ( I'm a noob at this) but have been getting good results so far. I am still trying to dial everything in so those settings are by no means gospel with this thing.
Could you send me a screenshot of all the settings so I can configure correctly? Don't want to mess this up.
Here you go. One thing to note, the bridging on the outside of the trigger guard is a little sloppy. Not sure what setting to change to clean it up. Nothing a little sandpaper won't clean up. I will add a pic of what I am talking about in a couple min.
Sloppy trigger guard bridge:
Adding to the perimeter width will help, also slower printing speed and more cooling, my settings (with a 0,5mm nozzle) is extruderWidth 0.75, printing speed 40mm/sec - these settings prints perfect 70% overhangs on my reprap - rule of thumb is nozzle diameter x 1.5 for starters, so you might want to try out 0.6mm for your 0.4mm nozzle
In my experience when having issues like that on large overhangs it's inadequate cooling. Any time I do a print like that I set up a server fan directly in front of my printer and consider lowering extruder temp 5*C.
Could be, I just got my 50mm blower fan in the mail and am just trying to figure out what fan shroud I should print for it. I have a v2.1 duplicator.
Yeah I'm a noob too when it comes to this stuff so you aren't alone.
I don't even know why I printed this? My printer was just sitting idle after I finished a venus box for my kids - I think it was literally the first thing I clicked after that lol. It is a disease.
It is pretty addicting yeah XD
I have been printing for 7 straight days now.
13hrs and it finally finished. It turned out nice but I finally realize now that cura auto scaled it down to fit the work area (didn't know it did that).
Hey, this is an awesome model. How did you create the supports? Did you use a program or create them yourself? I am wondering as this would help my prints a ton.
Try this. Autodesk Meshmixer: http://meshmixer.com/
BTW, creating supports just one of the useful features
Awesome thank you so much! I have been using supports that just cover the whole model and they are much more of a pain to deal with.
This is a great model. I would also like to cut it into pieces so a model without supports would be awesome if you have time to upload one.
You will find the very same model without support here:

To make a two part print you don't have to cut the model
Lower the model to the line between slide and frame and print the slide
Turn model upside down, lower the model to same line and print the frame
Glue the part with superglue (if PLA)
I have printed two of them. I found them to be a fantastic design that is really neat when printed and I found the support structure to be perfect for my print. Cheers for the post
Could you make a version without the supports on it i need to cut it up in order to print it. other than that amazing job modeling dude

One of the most common concerns I've heard from fellow English teachers is the unending question of which books to pick. You have to find a happy medium between books that are relevant to the subject and stories that will hold your students' interest through a semester or unit. It's also a battle against your own personal taste. You like A Tale of Two Cities, but none of the 13-14 year olds can keep their eyes open. So what in the world are you supposed to do?
Find books they will hate.
My biggest struggle this year was finding material for an 11th grade on-level class. Junior English is meant to have a concentration in American Literature, and I studied mostly British in college. They thought Poe was weird, didn't really appreciate Kate Chopin quite as much as I thought they ought, and one of them literally slept during Sleepy Hollow.
So when we reached the end of the year, I knew I had to find something pretty spectacular. After a grueling thought process in which I dug down into my very core to find something written by an American that I had both read recently enough to teach and actually enjoyed, I settled on The Princess Bride by William Goldman. It felt like such a cop-out. If we had a school newspaper, the headline would read: "TEACHER REACHES END OF ROPE. PICKS SATIRIC FANTASY NOVEL AS FILLER."
As an apology, I bought the books for them. They gave me suspicious looks and eyed the cover with no small amount of disdain. Books. Princess books. Great.
They hated it even more as we began reading. There were complaints about the characters, complaints about the plot, accusations that the author was lying to them….
"Westley's not really dead, is he? Goldman's just lying to us again. He can't be dead, right? This is a stupid book."
Stupid book. It got to the point where I couldn't help but grin every time I heard those words. "Stupid book." "I hate this book." "Why did you make us read this?" Every despairing phrase followed by a dramatic, teenaged sigh and an immediate return of attention to the page. It really made their lives so much harder than any of us had anticipated. Some side effects of their suffering:
* I went to New York during the middle of one week, and there was a note from the sub saying that my usually well-behaved class had refused to follow directions and read silently, and instead elected one of their own to read out loud and do all the voices.
* A passionate debate about who was more of a jerk to the other, Westley or Buttercup, erupted during the middle of one lesson. Tensions rose. Friendships were splintered. It was brutal.
* They disregarded manners and literally yelled at me when I forgot we hadn't learned Fezzik's name yet and referred to him with that title instead of just "the giant" or "the Turk" as he's initially introduced.
* Some of them found the book online and read ahead, even though I expressly told them not to.
Suffice it to say, the entire Princess Bride unit gave them no end of bother. But it also reinforced for me the important lesson that students—and readers in general—need to be exposed to books they will hate. Books they will frown at, scream at, chunk across the room in pure Hulk-out anger.
To any teachers or parents out there who are looking for ways to hook a kid into reading, I would suggest this. Go through your mental catalogue of books that you hated. Pick one you think they might hate too. Enjoy the little looks of frustration, the exasperated sighs, and the occasional huff. And when they ask the inevitable question, "Why did you make us read this?" you can smile and truthfully say, "Because I wanted to see you suffer."

News from the Votemaster
The Washington Post reported some interesting news on the 2008 House races today. With the Republicans needing to pick up 16 seats to retake the House, their job just got a bit harder at both the micro and macro levels. At the micro level, two key Republican congressmen, Rick Renzi ( AZ-01 ) and John Doolittle ( CA-04 ) have just given up seats on powerful House committees as a direct consequence of FBI investigations of their and their wives business dealings. Renzi left the Select Committee on Intelligence and Doolittle gave up his hugely coveted seat on the Committee for Distributing Pork (informally known as the Appropriations Committee). Most congressmen would sooner give up their right arm than that seat. Both are also on the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington's list of the 20 most corrupt members of Congress. Doolittle has especially large problems because he has admitted taking money from a defense contractor closely tied to former Rep. Duke Cunningham, who is currently in prison for taking bribes.
Doolittle's 2006 opponent, retired Air Force Col. Charles Brown, is already actively raising money for a rematch in 2008. Renzi doesn't have any announced opponents yet, but it is a safe bet that Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), chairman of the DCCC, has suddenly discovered that he needs a dose of that wonderful Arizona sunshine, and will be out there interviewing folks who want to go up against Renzi. Van Hollen is no doubt aware that the Democrats picked up two House seats in Arizona in 2006 (Harry Mitchell in AZ-05 and Gabrielle Giffords in AZ-08) and surely sees the embattled Renzi, who won by just 3%, as a good target.
At the macro level, having Republican congressmen in the news because the FBI is looking at possible corruption reminds the voters (who have notoriously short memories) of why they booted the Republicans out of office in 2006. Even if the FBI ultimately clears Renzi and Doolittle of all charges, there is no magic button they can push to reset the voters' memories of them to the state they were in before the investigations began.
The Democrats have their own corrupt congressman, too, William Jefferson (D-LA), but Jefferson is in such a heavily Democratic district that short of an actual conviction, he is unlikely to lose in 2008.
Up until now I have regarded the House race in FL-13 as still undecided. While court battles are still in progress, de facto, Vern Buchanan (R) is in the House and Christine Jennings (D) is not, so let's call FL-13 for the GOP until further notice.
This page is the prototype for 2008. The data and map will refer to previous elections until serious polls begin in 2008. The blog will be updated when there is interesting news about the 2008 races.Preview of the 2008 races: President Senate House

iT Volunteer Community Service
All iT students must complete 40 hours (10 hours a year) of community service prior to the end of the 3rd quarter in their senior year in order to medal in the program.
- Note: Beginning with the Class of 2019 iT Volunteer hours will be logged into Naviance using our new system which is integrated with every students college career readiness program . Click on this link to go to Naviance
- How to access x2VOL via Naviance as a student – http://bit.ly/x2vol-fam-connection
- How to log hours – http://bit.ly/x2vol_loghours
Please note: It is our overall intention that our students understand, appreciate and value what they are learning in their iT classes with the real world experiences though community service. We understand that there are many wonderful and meaningful volunteer opportunities which will absolutely count as long as it is not limited to only members of that organization which benefit that organization. We ask that these (non iT focused) hours are not the sole focus of the student service and that they value the connection between 'Community Service and iT'. Any volunteer work preformed outside of this emphasis should be shared with the iT Leadership before completed to make sure that it meets guidelines for acceptance. Starting with the Class of 2019 you may not have more that 20 hours in any one activity/concentration without iT Leadership approval. Please do not wait until your senior year to validate hours that do not meet these guidelines.
Any community service hours that are performed in association with the FPHS and are both documented and 'Signed Off' by a member of the iT staff or club/activities coordinator from FPHS will be honored.
Note: each individual activity must be documented etc.. each SWAT meeting, BTG or BWS event must be individually documented not all rolled into one entry.
Clarification on volunteer work:
These activates may only be counted if:
- Anyone is eligible to participate. If only the member of the organization is able to participate then the community service is part of that organization and not part of the iT community service commitment. (ex: Religious School teaching, Political candidate promotion…)
- All activities must be accompanied by a letter from the sponsor stated that the above is true.
- Note: the one whom you have identified as the coordinator and has initialed off on your hours must have a valid phone contact, email. Letters should be on organizations letterhead for contact purposes.
- A reflection of the service must also accompany the documentation. This may include photos, a brief write up or any other personal or visual validation of the service preformed.
Any questions or concerns please see Mr. Hackett or Mr. Smith.

On June 18, 1980, at 12:40 PM, Ventura County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a report and found a young woman dead in the parking lot of Westlake High School. Evidence at the scene suggested that the victim may have been killed at another location and her body moved to the parking lot.
An autopsy determined the victim died as a result of multiple stab wounds, but she had also been raped and strangled. A forensic anthropologist determined the young female was Hispanic and/or Native American, age 15 – 25 years, 5 ft. 2in. tall, 110 – 115 lbs, brown eyes, and black shoulder length hair with bleached tips. She had extensive dental work and was 4 months pregnant with evidence of prior pregnancy(s).
She wore white pullover short sleeve top, black bra, red corduroy pants, and black high heeled open toed shoes. An unsuccessful homicide investigation was initiated in 1980, and now investigators have reason to believe the victim may have been from either the San Fernando Valley or Kern County.
In 2015, DNA results from scrapings of Venture Jane Doe's fingernails and clothing linked her and another woman discovered in Kern County to Wilson Chouest, a 63-year-old, who was already in prison but didn't know his victims. On May 31, 2018, a jury found Chouest guilty of the murders of the women but did not convict on behalf of the Ventura Jane Doe's unborn son.

I read this book as I was intrigued by its blurb. Even though it is the third book of a trilogy, it was easy to follow. The backstory was slowly revealed the further I got into the book, yet from the first page onward, the story is engaging.
Characters are fleshed out, emotions are well described, and tensions are high to get mates back as their lives are at stake. The Shifters must defeat their enemy or all will be lost. Until the very end, you don't know if this is going to happen or not as the threats are as real as it gets. Whether the Shifters make it or not… well, you'll have to read the story. Take some time for reading as you will want to know the ending.
Mr. Griffith has produced a great ending to a great, and clean, YA adventure.

My family and I took a day trip to Bishopville, SC this weekend to visit the famous topiary garden of Mr. Pearl Fryar. It's in an unassuming little subdivision not too far from I-20, but if you look closely along the way after you get off the interstate, you'll see little clues that tell you that you're on the right path. The topiaries right outside of the Waffle House on the highway are sure signs that you're getting close.
Pearl Fryar has turned his entire yard into an incredible topiary garden, but embedded in these plants are many different water sculptures. They are all made of scrap metal, but the one that stood out to me most was one that was made up of old musical instruments. Being a musician, and especially a brass player, I was drawn to this one immediately. I loved the play of the different instruments in the composition of the sculpture, as there was everything from a trumpet to a French horn and a saxophone in this fountain. It's a really unique piece of art, and my inspiration for the Water theme.
I will have photos up soon from the topiary garden, so stay tuned! This is for the SooC project I'm doing along with these goons. 😉

Had a great evening last night at the Canadian Aviation Museum. We were treated to an empty museum and we even got a tour of the storage hanger.
I didn't shoot all 250 pictures – only 233. I've got lots of processing to do when I get back home but here's a little teaser.
RL-206 was the last Avro CF-105 "Arrow" and was still under construction when the project was scrapped and all aircraft ordered destroyed. Some enterprising Avro employees hid the nose section from the wrecking bar and it now sits as a sad tribute to this dark time for the Canadian aviation industry.
The weather this morning is crappy. Guess I'll attend the sessions instead of going downtown.

Tatiana and Justin are married!
When Jennifer Carroll brought Tatiana and Justin in for a tasting early this year, I just fell in love with them. They were both so excited about their wedding day, but also just seemed to be so content that they were spending the rest of their life together. After going through the many designs that they were drawn to and learning of their wedding colors of chocolate, lavender, sage green and ivory, we came up with a few designs. Tatiana AND Justin chose their favorite...I just love it when the groom-to-be has so much interest in the planning. In addition, I also wanted to add a few additional pics of this absolutely gorgeous wedding created by Jennifer Carroll. The breathtaking pictures are courtesy of Jen Fariello. Usually I have heard that the pictures do not do beautiful weddings such as this any justice, but Jen's pictures will change your mind!
Tatiana and Justin's wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty as well today. If you have not yet seen this blog, head over to find the word in inspiration for today's weddings! I am truly honored to be included with such a fine cast of wedding vendors!

According to Gavin Evans in a post he wrote about Mondegreens, the terminology came about thusly.
"The term "mondegreen" was coined by Sylvia Wright in a 1954 Atlantic article. As a child, young Sylvia had listened to a folk song that included the lines "They had slain the Earl of Moray/And Lady Mondegreen." As is customary with misheard lyrics, she didn't realize her mistake for years. The song was not about the tragic fate of Lady Mondegreen, but rather, the continuing plight of the good earl: "They had slain the Earl of Moray/And laid him on the green."
As with most misheard song lyrics, the mondegreen makes as much sense as the actual lyrics do. However, that doesn't really hold true in the song "Hard To Handle" written and recorded originally by Otis Redding. I can't ascertain whether or not the mondegreen in this case was born due to his singing or that of the Black Crowes cover from their first album. I suppose it could have occurred at any point in time since quite a few bands have actually covered the song.
I tend not to like covers. They disappoint me on some level. However, I must say that the Crowes did a bang up job on their cover of it.
Oh yes, the actual words from which the mondegreen originates can be found in the chorus of the song. The mondegreen itself is in the title of this post.
"Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothing but drugstore loving.
Hey little thing let me light your candle
Cause Mama I'm sure hard to handle now
Gets around."
This is where you decide for yourself whether I'm beautiful or just all wet. Don't ask me, I'm never sure myself.

No Ten Cent Lovin', No Chicano and No Henna Either. Mondegreen!

I like the comment that Biggie Brownn made on YouTube:
"hey lil thang lemmeh licha canda cuz, amama im sha hadda handa now. man that's deep"
Great post, that was very interesting.ReplyDelete
There are so many Mondegreens that I could write dozens of posts on them, with dozens of misheard words.
I am guilty of hearing both Chicano and Henna in this song from BOTH of the singers. Had a good laugh at myself when I happened across the actual words of the song. I'd claim age, but Otis recorded it in 1968, I believe and I was all of 19 at that time. ROFL.

Dear Joey
Thank you very much for such interesting and valuable information. For me it was difficult to follow so fast, but I hope to be more prepared for the next time. I'm interested in Chinese philosophy very much and will continue my studying.
Zhaneta Alyapina, Russian Federation
Those student who wish to seek career guidance advice may contact us here.
The Qi Men Sun Tzu – The Art of War Seminar was recently held on June 7, 2015. The seminar was hosted at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 10am-5pm. Conducted by Dato' Joey Yap himself, the 2000-strong participants were presented with the methods on how the ancient art of Qi Men Dun Jia is applied in today's world based on Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Qi Men Dun Jia which translates to "Mystical Doors Escaping Technique" is a technique of calculating time and space in order to find the perfect time and place to execute an action that produces the best desired result. In this seminar, participants were exposed to the ancient warcraft methods, along with the right techniques of Qi Men, in order for them to gain an upper hand in business, career, status, power and wealth. The Sun Tzu Art of War is one of the five Chinese military classics and is by far the most influential reference in war strategies which is still relevant in today's business world.
Two new books – "Design your Legacy" and "The Books of Moles" were also launched during the seminar. The former is a book on the profound subject of Yin House Feng Shui – Feng Shui for tombs and burials, while the latter is the latest in the Face Reading series which focuses on the art of reading moles.
Eco World –which had previously collaborated with Dato' Joey Yap to audit the Feng Shui of London City Island – was one of the sponsors of the seminar.

With just four days to go until Christmas, Apple dropped this sweet little ad Friday night showing off the benefits of FaceTime on the iPad.
The ad, from TBWA\Media Arts Lab, shows a girl singing the venerable "I'll Be Home For Christmas" while strumming a ukulele on an iPad. Meanwhile, on an iPad Mini, we see what looks like her beaming grandpa nodding along and smiling. The ad ends somewhat poignantly as she concludes that she'll be home for Christmas "if only in my dreams." Ironically, it looks like she won't be home for Christmas, but at least the two can have some face time anyway.
What do you think of the ad? Let us know in the comments.
