Man escapes from crane as smoke billows above building site in King's Cross
Fire takes hold at Institute of Physics in Caledonian Road
25 May, 2017 — By William McLennan
Firefighters tried to break their way into the site with a battering ram
DOZENS of people were evacuated from homes and offices in King's Cross this afternoon (Thursday) as a fire broke out on a building site.
Flames took hold of plastic sheeting at the site of the new Institute of Physics building at the junction of Caledonian Road and Balfe Road shortly after midday.
Aqib Aslam, who works a few doors down from the blaze at Wiseman Estates, said that the crane operator was stuck in his cab as thick dark smoke billowed into the sky. The column of smoke could be seen from Camden Town.
He said: "There was a guy stuck on the crane. He was still on the crane well the smoke was going up, he must have been breathing it all in, but he's down safely. He was covered in smoke and I felt sorry for him. He was just suck in his little box in the crane."
Mr Aslam said: "I came out of the office and saw tonnes of smoke. I actually manage the building next door so if there was tenants inside I wanted to notify them, but everyone was out at work. It was pretty scary at that time. It's all under control now, but it was very bad before."
The Institute of Physics was given permission to building their new offices at the site in 2015 in the face of objections from neighbours and conservation experts. They have been forced to retain the facade of the original building on Balfe Street.
Mr Aslam said: "They have been digging down, around 18 meteres down, from what I know, because it's a new development there, so they might have hit something with gas, I'm not sure. They've been digging for quite sometime."
He praised the speed of the emergency services, who he said were on the scene, in "less than five minutes".
A London Fire Brigade spokesman: "Six fire engines and 35 firefighters and officers were called to a fire at a building site in Balfe Street in Islington.
"Part of a south facing wall at the building site was damaged by fire. One person self evacuated from the cab of a 30 metre crane. The Brigade was called at 1206 and the fire was under control at 1252. Fire crews from Islington, Kentish Town, Holloway, Paddington and Lambeth fire stations attended the scene."

2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1.8 turbo
I loved my car, and it saved my life (twice). I miss it dearly
I never really had any problems with this car that weren't covered by the warranty. Under the warranty (which was increased from 35,000 to 50,000 miles for 2002 & beyond cars), the springs underneath both seats were replaced, the engine coils were replaced per a recall, and the battery was replaced (after the car sat idle for two months). The only thing that ever went wrong that wasn't covered by the warranty was some creaking sound in the suspension, which they said all jetta's had - it's some deficiency with manufacturing, and they just go bad, but it's an annoyance rather than a safety issue.
General Comments:
This was a great car - with the 1.8 turbo and a five speed manual transmission, this car really moved. It got me in trouble a few times though - and I almost totaled it when it was just about a year old, and then I totaled it for good just recently. The airbags didn't go off either time - the first time was a major accident too - ran into a brick wall head on and the bags did not deploy at all. It was supposedly the safest car made in 2002, but after the car was oblitterated this year in another major front-end collision, with again, none of the eight airbags deploying, I have to wonder if there was something wrong with mine. The car was such a joy though - never really had any trouble with it. Very comfortable - heated seats were fantastic, but hard to adjust. Rear legroom was inadequate, and there was no arm rest in the back. Loved the car though - miss it dearly. Was the perfect car for my mid-20's.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Ashland Officer Denies Destroying Drug Evidence
An Ashland police sergeant has pleaded not guilty to charges of destroying drug evidence and intimidating the officer who reported it.
Edward Pomponio was released on personal recognizance at his arraignment Thursday on charges of wanton destruction of property, intimidating a witness and obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors say Pomponio used his shoes in July 2011 to crush a half dozen prescription pills that had been confiscated from a Marlborough woman the month before. He said it was accidental.
Court records did not suggest a motive. The case against the woman was eventually dropped.
Pomponio's lawyer tells The MetroWest Daily News his client denies the charges and has cooperated in the investigation. Pomponio is on unpaid leave.

Where can I find ghd hair straighteners?
As Hairhouse Warehouse have more than 130 fabulous salons right across Australia, it is easy to shop for a range of ghd hair straighteners and hair dryers at a store near you.
If you haven't yet achieved a string of good hair days by shopping at your local Hairhouse Warehouse salon, you should start now.

Your first online purchase will be rewarded with a welcoming 10% discount, and all subsequent orders over $50 will receive free shipping after you have created your Hairhouse Warehouse account.
How do I know which ghd tool to buy?
But if you're unsure which ghd hair straightening tool is the best one for your needs, it may be better to pop in to your nearest Hairhouse Warehouse salon and chat with the expert hair stylists about what sort of look you hope to achieve. They can suggest which of ghd's professional hairdryers, hair straighteners and curling irons will be the best option for your hair type and the style you want to create.
Why do ghd have different hair straighteners?
Ghd design different hair straighteners to suit a range of hair types and styles. The ghd Max Styler has been developed with wide, two inch plates specifically for easy styling of long, thick hair. The plates are powered by advanced ceramic heat technology which provides a consistent, optimised temperature of 185 degrees. The wide plates make it easy to style large sections of hair creating a professional, frizz-free, sleek finish. Features include universal voltage so you can take it on your travels, quick heat up time which is great if you're time poor, sleep mode in case you run out the door and forget to turn it off, and a protective plate guard to keep it in good nick.
The ghd Platinum+ Black Styler and the ghd Gold Styler are smart stylers equipped with innovative dual-zone predictive technology to give greater temperature control which guarantees consistent results. The hinge design allows for more styling control and the plates have a high specification finish for increased shine and smoothness. They have all the same handy features of the Max Styler too.
Short hair and fringes can be perfectly straightened using the ghd Mini Styler. This little beauty has super slim half inch plates, giving easy control when styling short hair. The mini styler also boasts advanced ceramic heat technology at the optimum 185 degrees, the perfect temperature for ultimate styling with less damage. Beautifully designed, it features a slender, contoured body - something we'd all love - with gold accents. The mini styler may be little but it packs a punch and doesn't compromise on quality. Complete with a protective plate guard, auto sleep mode and universal voltage this is the perfect tool for the precision styling of short hair or fringes.
Of course you can create waves and curls with your ghd hair straightener too. Generally speaking, larger plates will create more open waves, and smaller plates will create tighter cools, which can also create a wavy look, depending on the technique you use.
How to curl hair with ghd straighteners?
While some may find it a little easier to curl their hair with a ghd curling tong or wand, once you've mastered the technique it just takes practice to achieve consistent, fabulous results using your ghd hair straightener too.
Follow these steps for a soft wave or curl:
1. Prepare your hair by spritzing it with ghd curl hold spray. This non-sticky, lightweight formula will protect your hair from heat damage while helping you create defined curls which hold their form.
2. Divide your hair and tie the top half up, out of the way.
3. Starting with the bottom half, take a section of hair closest to your face and place the styler near the roots. Rotate half a turn before gliding it from root to tip, away from your face.
4. Repeat with the next section but change the direction of the curl so the hair is curled towards your face.
5. Continue around the whole lower section of hair, alternating the direction of each curl.
6. Unclip the top half of your hair and repeat. Always curl the sections of hair closest to your face away from your face.
7. For a loose wave effect, run a wide-tooth detangling comb lightly through the curls then scrunch with hairspray to set. Easy!
If you want a flat wave follow these steps:
1. Prepare your dry hair by spraying ghd root lift spray onto sections, twisting the hair and drying off with your ghd professional hairdryer.
2. Section your hair, tying up the top section.
3. Take a piece of hair and place the hair straightener near the root, pointing downwards.
4. Rotate half a turn away from the face and glide the styler through but release before the ends.
5. Repeat, alternating the direction of the curls towards and away from your face.
6. Release the top layers and continue until all the hair is done.
7. Take one front section and glide the straightener from the root to tip with no rotation. At eyebrow level, rotate the styler away from the face and repeat on the other side.
8. Lightly run a detangling comb through the hair and scrunch hairspray through to set.
Which ghd curler to buy?
While choice is always a good thing, sometimes the details can confuse us. So, here's what you need to know about ghd curlers:
Firstly, using a ghd curler is simpler than using a ghd flat iron to curl hair, although it can easily be done with a flat iron too. Secondly, don't be confused by the different names. The terms 'curling tongs', 'curling wands' and 'curling irons' are reasonably interchangeable and often mean the same thing. Some have a clamp for holding the piece of hair in place as you curl it. These are generally referred to as tongs, but sometimes those without clamps are called tongs too. A tong with a clamp is a little easier to use for those of us without great skill or technique when it comes to curling our hair. The main difference between curling irons/wands/tongs in obtaining different results is in the size and shape of the barrel. A larger barrel, for example the 32mm ghd Curve Soft Curl Tong (yes, with a clip), will achieve a bigger, more voluminous curl or wave and is ideal for use on long hair.
A smaller barrel will achieve tighter curls and may be easier for you to manage on shorter hair. That said, other factors do come into play when creating an open, soft wave vs a tighter, smaller curl. Your choice of ghd product used for styling can affect the degree to which your curl drops. Brushing your curls out will create a wavy effect, while lightly tousling with your fingers before applying hair spray will help your curls to hold.
The shape of the barrel can determine the depth of curl vs wave too. Generally, a round barrel will create a more voluminous curl than an oval shaped barrel, which will produce a gentler wave.
If you buy the GHD Curve Soft Curl Tong - 32mm you will be able to create volume from the roots, gentle waves or big, soft curls in long hair. The clamp has a spring activated lever for easy use and the protective tip is designed as a cool place from which to hold the tong while you style. The Curve Soft Curl Tong also has a built-in stand, a lengthy power cord, automatic sleep mode and universal voltage. For a better result use the ghd Curl Hold Spray for heat protection and added hold.
How to use: section your hair into 2cm pieces. Open the clamp, wind a 2cm piece of hair around the barrel and close the clamp. Hold for five to eight seconds, then release. For a looser wave use the ghd detangling comb or ghd paddle brush after curling.
The GHD Curve Classic Curl Wand 26mm will also create some volume and curvy waves in long hair, but it is easier to use on shorter, or medium length hair - in fact all hair types and lengths - than the large 32mm barrel. It provides a tighter curl, so if you want more of a curl than a wave, this is the one to buy. It has many of the same features as the Soft Curl Tong but check them both out in store at Hairhouse Warehouse to see which feels more comfortable for you to use. For a different approach try twisting each section of hair before wrapping it around the barrel.
What is the best way to buy ghd curling irons?
Hairhouse Warehouse have fabulous ghd gift sets, perfect for you to give as a gift to a loved one or yourself! The GHD Curve long-lasting Curling Wand Gift Set or the same set with a curling tong each include the best-selling ghd curling wand and the tong (with clamp) using ultra-zone technology. These multi-tasking styling tools can create long-lasting curls or sultry, flowing waves in any hair type or length. Also included in these luxe gift sets are the must-have heat-resistant roll mats, ideal for storing your wand and for safe placement during the curling process. To complete these two sets there are professional sectioning hair clips to make the job easier and ghd oval dressing brushes to release those fabulous curls into super sexy waves.
While they do make excellent gifts, the gift sets are a budget-friendly way to set yourself up with everything you need to style your hair easily, creating luscious waves or curls.
Treat yourself and your hair to quality ghd styling products to enjoy sleek, straight, shiny locks, curvaceous curls or wonderful waves using innovative technology and user-friendly ergonomic designs today.

Re: What do you think about the Latest Mobile Trends which is going to hit in the New Year?snarrsky Dec 21, 2012 1:05 PM (in response to Infoway LLC)1 of 1 people found this helpful
my two cents...
Mobile Payments - emerging mobile payment options will enter mainstream. Mobile wallet, where customers take a picture of a QR code on a bill or screen and settlement occurs. Also, P2P will take hold and gain momentum - where a customer can enter an email/phone number of someone/business they are paying, then enter the amount on the phone...and settlement occurs directly. Heading toward cashless/cardless society. This lowers overall industry costs and risk to both payers and payees.
Offers - Banks/Card companies are rapidly entering the offers space (e.g., Groupon) where they automatically load tailored offers targeted at consumer purchase behaviors. This makes it very relevant to consumers, where they can load offers on their cards within their online banking as well as redeem without having to think about it or clip/print a voucher. Merchants love it because they don't pay unless there is a redemption. This lowers their overall costs and allows them to market/advertise their business to prospects in their geography or target clients that have not been back in awhile. These offers will also soon go location-based, popping on your phone when you are near a relevant business.
Tablet-based Cash Registers - merchants will benefit from a rapidly evolving space where software will be king. With the tablet, the hardware will be static (for the most part) and the cahs register software will evolve rapidly. The software will eventually fully integrate with small business accounting and banking software.

Great reply, snarrsky! We definitely got more than our two cents worth . Are they trends or fads?
Did this satisfy your question, Infoway LLC?

Thanks snarrsky! The mobile trends of 2013 specified by you are really beneficial and justified. Especially, Mobile Payments, as we all need it drastically to be implemented very soon.

Originally an "ark ship" designed to carry agricultural animals, the Purgatory was taken by the Blue Suns mercenary company during a large-scale battle in the Skyllian Verge. In a years-long reconstruction of its interior, the Blue Suns repurposed it to hold sapient prisoners, supposedly because they captured so many in their conflicts throughout the galaxy. When media outlets started investigating claims that the ship was used for slaving operations, the Blue Suns turned a public relations nightmare into a regular income source.
Claiming to be in full accordance with Citadel law, the crew of Purgatory now regularly lands on planets or space stations claiming that they can no longer hold their prisoners because of cost overruns. To avoid keeping prisoners under inhumane conditions, they will have to release them at the nearest port, dumping the scum of the galaxy directly into the local population. Faced with such a scenario, the government usually grants Purgatory's crew massive discounts in fuel, food, and repairs as long as they go away. Some even offload their own prisoners to Purgatory for a fee, grateful to have a problem relocated somewhere other than their backyard. Such unfortunates go in the dark depths of the ship, never to be seen again by their families or contacts.
Purgatory is minimally armed with GARDIAN defenses. Though a cruiser-weight ship, it relies on the Blue Suns' fighters to prevent any attacks bent on a jailbreak or similar events.

FireEye, a cybersecurity company, disclosed to private clients that on September 22, 2017 it detected and stopped spear phishing emails being sent to US power companies. The emails came from hackers affiliated with the North Korean government and included an invitation link to a fake fundraiser. Once a recipient clicked the link, it would download malware onto their network.
FireEye, which offers cybersecurity, forensics investigation, and incident response services, reported that the spear phishing emails were connected to hackers in the early reconnaissance stages. There was no indication of an imminent, disruptive cyber threat. Fortunately, the spear phishing incident against US electrical companies did not affect the operations of any US power companies.
FireEye's blog informed readers that nation states will participate in cyber espionage operations for intelligence gathering and contingency planning, particularly if there is conflict, or tensions are high with other nations.
Robert Lee, a cybersecurity consultant, asserts that at this point in time foreign powers in general are far from disrupting the electric power grid. FireEye stated that this cyber criminal activity lacked technical and operative steps that would make it disruptive.
However, according to C. Frank Figliuzzi, a former chief of counterintelligence at the FBI, "This is a signal that North Korea is a player in the cyber-intrusion field and it is growing in its ability to hurt us." The Department of Defense ranked Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as the most significant potential cyber adversaries, in order of prevalence. FireEye has detected more than 20 cyber threat groups suspected of being sponsored by at least four other nation states that are trying to gain access to targets in the energy sector and cause disruption.
Protect your organization by instilling long-lasting cybersecurity awareness
An effective, robust information security management system (ISMS) is built upon the three pillars of cybersecurity: people, processes, and technology, which recognizes and the real threat of staff-related vulnerabilities such as human error and poor security awareness. Our Security Awareness Program will support you in transforming your organization's culture into one that embraces cybersecurity behavior and practices it every day. The program is especially helpful for organizations looking to implement an ISMS that is ISO 27001 compliant. Learn more here >>

Regional Outreach Clinic Program
The objectives of the ROCP are to provide regular face to face advice and minor assistance to clients experiencing disadvantage in regional, rural and remote areas of NSW and to facilitate access to grants of aid.
ROCP services:
- Are part of a flexible suite of Legal Aid NSW services provided by in-house and external legal practitioners
- Are located in areas identified as high need
- Are located where it may not be feasible to provide in-house services, and
- Will complement in-house services.
Under the ROCP, Legal Aid NSW funds private and Community Legal Centre legal practitioners to provide legal services to communities that have little, or no, access to public legal services, and where it would not be feasible or efficient for Legal Aid NSW to provide an outreach service.
ROCP clinics are held in host agencies that include neighbourhood centres, Local Courts, public libraries and family support services. In some cases ROCP clinics complement services offered by other legal assistance services in the same location to provide a more frequent service, or to expand the type of legal assistance available in the location. This is the case in Boggabilla, Toomelah, Cowra, Taree, Tweed Heads and Griffith.
ROCP Guidelines
View the ROCP Guidelines.
Where are the ROCP clinics?
ROCP clinic locations are chosen on the basis of indicators of socio-economic need and relative lack of access to public legal services.
Consistent with the objectives outlined above, clinics may be changed as Legal Aid NSW in-house outreach capacity changes.
ROCP clinics operate at Bega, Boggabilla, Cowra, Gloucester, Goulburn, Griffith, Laurieton, South West Rocks, Taree, Toomelah and Tweed Heads.
Under the Program, Legal Aid NSW provides annual in-house training to ROCP solicitors on areas of law likely to be relevant to our disadvantaged clients (domestic violence, housing, employment law, family law, social security etc).
Observations on the ROCP
- Vast majority of ROCP clinic clients are receiving government benefits
- Relatively high proportion of Aboriginal clients in many ROCP clinic locations
- Demand in family law, domestic violence, traffic offences, neighbours, debt, civil law

The Algas microfilter can be described as a drum filter with special features. Filtering from the inside and out allows the recovery trough to be installed on the inside of the drum. This means the filter operates with a much higher level compared to conventional designs, increasing filtration time and improving efficiency.
No vacuum, but only atmospheric pressure is used. This gives a soft filtering action, neither pushing nor pulling solids into the filtering medium. Any solids in the clear filtrate are microscopic, making the clear water safe for re-use. The principle also allows for easy cleaning of the filter medium. Filter cloth types range from 10 micron for special applications to as large as 1000 micron for thickening applications.
The microfilters are available in many different sizes. The capacity of a filter depends on several process parameters such as production type, water type, flow, fiber content, pH-values, temperature, required cleaning effect, content of fillers and other materials. We have a long experience of dimensioning the filters for each unique application, and we select the optimal solution based on operating data from similar installations.
Algas microfilters have been used for water treatment in many different applications, including:

text: Justin Jay's New Cross-Genre Project, Justin Jay & Friends, Is Already Making Waves Brian ManningThursday, November 19, 2015House0 Comments Since the young age of 18, Justin Jay has had his sights on producing. Fast forward four years and he now has releases with Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Dirtybird, and Pets Recordings and a degree from USC. After the release of his highly successful underground remix of Alison Wonderland's "Take It to Reality" just weeks ago, the LA-based producer is back with the biggest announcement of his career to date. His newest project, Justin Jay & Friends, enters the world with his latest release, "Karma" featuring vocalist Josh Taylor and guitarist Benny Bridges. The track melds underground house with rock components and tribal sounds. Opening with Josh's smooth vocals and a simple bongo progression, the track unfolds into a mysterious piece of stylistic grooves. This track opens the doors to a new genre-bending initiative at which Justin Jay & Friends is at the forefront. In celebration of the release, Justin Jay gives us more insight into this exciting news, "Two sensitive music kids join a frat together… During my first year of college, I became friends with Josh. As a singer/songwriter, he was drawing influence from John Mayer and Jack Johnson, while I was hooked on Dirtybird and going to illegal house/techno warehouse parties. We grew a mutual respect for each other's interests, but never even considered making music together. Back in January, with one semester before graduation, we decided to jam together, as a somewhat sarcastic joke. I'd never felt so uncomfortable making music in my life and Josh felt the same. I never had to think about lyrics, verses and choruses, while josh had never sang on top of minor chord changes and dirty bass lines. It's really scary being pushed to do something different musically, but because I had my friends pushing and helping me, I've never had so much fun making music before."

3D-Printed Ketchup Cap Will Prevent That Gross, Watery Mess
If you want to get students excited about new technologies like 3D printing, you have to let them follow their passion — even if that passion is ketchup.
Tyler Richards and Jonathan Thompson, two high school seniors from Liberty, Mo., have a shared love for the popular condiment and creativity. The teens are part of the Project Lead the Way program (a national STEM learning initiative) and decided to focus their attention on a particularly frustrating problem: minimizing the watery mess that results from the first squirt of ketchup.
According to local news station Fox4 in Kansas City, their teacher initially nixed the project idea, but Richards and Thompson collected enough research, data and patent information to convince him. Soon, they were inventing a 3D solution to ketchup's messy problem.
Richards and Thompson designed a new bottle cap that forces the ketchup away from the cap and into a small tube at its center, which the ketchup then squeezes out of. This manages to separate the water that settles at the top of the ketchup from the actual red stuff.
The two first sketched the idea on paper, then designed it with CAD software before printing it on a 3D printer. Fox4 reports that the teens are pursuing a provisional patent for their invention, but no word yet on whether they plan to bring the product to market or sell it to Heinz.
You can watch their results in the video above; it's a smart solution for a universal problem.

Massachusetts is a meca of amazing innovation. One of the newest is a product from Medford, MA based Silk Therapeutics™ and their new LabGrab™ line. (I received a sample.) The company was founded by two friends who wanted skincare to be clean and perform.
The company name, Silk Therapeutics, eludes to its main ingredient: silk. As one of nature's wonders, silk protein promotes radiant, firm and smooth skin, but its natural properties reduce the need for stabilizers, emulsifiers, fillers and harsh preservatives that are so common in the skin care industry.
The company invested $5 million into research and patents. They put more money into making and manufacturing it themselves to boot. With liquid silk so rare in the industry, money was not the only thing needed. The company also needed special talent to bring it from concept to construction.
Liquid silk, however, is very expensive. It costs more to transform silk fiber to liquid silk than gold and platinum. As with most things are that natural and real, the final product cost can be prohibitive to many – despite the benefits and results. Yet, the founders believed so much in their product, and the need for result driven skin care products that are clean, that they didn't want cost to be the barrier.
After lots of chatter, the company realized that had a lot of great products sitting in their lab. Not all products can make it to store shelves due to space, stocking and marketing constraints. Yet, it didn't mean these goodies weren't amazing. So, what if they released small batches? Let folks try them out? It could mean a serum or lotion could get into the hands key users for their feedback, input and influence of what the company developed and produced next. Bonus? Half the price too.
The scientists pulled what they thought were the best from the shelf. The name of the line is appropriately titled, 'LabGrab.'
Simple containers have an apothecary feel and are tucked into a simple, recyclable carton from fellow Massachusetts-based company Botwell-Ownes. To keep costs low, the product hopes to spread organically. Nothing is more beautiful when users share their "little bottled secret" with anyone who says, "Your skin looks great!"
Produced in limited editions, the first LabGrab products are five novel formulas that leverage pure liquid silk. You won't find fragrance, animal cruelty, phthalates and parabens either.
At about half the cost of their main Silk Therapeutics line, the products are now available through LabGrab.com.
{Sigh, if only they had a store front at their Massachusetts headquarters or a skin care spa. I need an in-state fix!}

* As we started the film, I told Lut all I knew about it was "it's an 80s sf/horror film with aliens living disguised among humans on Earth". Lut: "It's not a horror film." Me: "Oh, I thought I'd heard it was. Hey, it's a John Carpenter film but not horror?" Lut: "It's not horror." Afterwards, as we're looking up one of the actors on IMDB: Me: "Hey, IMDB says it's a horror film too. I knew I'd heard that it was." Lut: "Well, IMDB is wrong." Me: "Yeah, they are. It's not horror."
We also watched a few episodes of season 7 Burn Notice: Grimdark Edition. It's not bad per se, but I miss the more light-hearted episodes of earlier seasons, where the protagonists often were clearly helping innocent people against bad guys. Now it's just a big quagmire of bad guys vs other bad guys and everything sucks. Season 6 was a lot like that too. Lut had "Sin City" on the queue and it arrived, but I'm going to let him watch it alone. We saw it in the theatre already, and I'm over quota on grimdark.
Annoyingly, I've gotten to the grimdark portion of Rational Arrangement in editing too. BAD TIMING. I need some cheery action/sf/fantasy to watch with Lut. Any recommendations? MLP doesn't count. (Lut doesn't like children's media).
I spent a couple of hours reverse-engineering an outline for RA. I wrote an outline when I started, but it diverges wildly from what I actually wrote. (Among other things, I was almost finished writing the outline before I decided I wanted to write a poly romance, so the third protagonist is shoehorned into the outline in a couple of places but largely absent. The character fits far more naturally into the book.) I've been tagging scenes with their relevance to plot, character, and setting. So far, virtually everything is character & setting, and maybe half of it is plot-critical. Some of the stuff that's tagged with "character" is significant in terms of show why the characters love one another and/or why the reader should care, so I don't actually think it's a good idea to cut everything that's not tagged for plot. It is enlightening in showing why the book's so long, though. I am not sure this enlightenment justifies the time it takes me to put it together. I think the reason I feel like I am failing at editing is that I spend a lot of time tweaking the story and doing stuff with it but it doesn't feel measurably different or improved to me. In my head, it's still the same "long romance that I like". Eventually I will get through my list and hopefully then I'll feel as if I accomplished something. Until then: slogging onwards.
I updated my activity log, reconstructing what I could from all the days I didn't track. Yikes. At least it's current now.
On Sunday, I went for a 10-mile bike ride because the weather was lovely. My legs are in fine shape for outdoors biking, since I've been using the exercise bike all winter. My sit bones, however, are not prepared. This was not noticeable on Sunday, but when I got back in the saddle to bike to work today: ow. It doesn't bother me any time except when I'm riding, at least. On the exercise & diet front: I have managed to average under 1500 calories per day for two weeks now. Yay! I have not, of course, lost any weight. -_- Surely that will change eventually.
I wrote one dragon bio -- I have slacked off on those and am trying to make editing progress instead. I don't know if the trade-off is working.
I have a little under two weeks before the Wind festival kicks off. I should post a round of donation-begging on the items-wanted board and see if we can get anything from the site at large.
In other news: Daylight Savings Time still sucks.
Everybody else have a good weekend?

One of Freud's dictums was: "Where id is, let ego be." In essence, replace your runaway impulses (Id) with a more reason/reality driven (Ego) approach to life. Not a bad guide
to live by, given the times of Freud and the rise of Germany in early/middle part of the last century.
Something more apropos for today's corporate and political world might be: "Where 'hub and spoke' is let 'triads' be."
For "hub and spoke" think GE under Jack Welch; for "triad" think of the open source approach under Google.
Under "hub and spoke" you have a powerful leader that everyone relates to through and through (think George W. Bush, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton). The good news for the leader is that he/she gets to be in control; the bad news for everyone else is that the "spokes" get into a "sibling rivalry" for the attention of the leader, feel a "zero sum" competition between each other including occasional feelings of paranoia and consciously or unconsciously undermine each other rather than working to help each other. This also can make succession difficult, because often that powerful figure is difficult to replicate.
With a "triad" the leader has an inclusive, compelling vision (think Barack Obama), hires the best collaborative people (think Al Gore), and then facilitates relationships between the spokes in as completely an open, transparent and mutually supportive way possible. Trust and generosity is placed from the leader into the other members of the triad.
With "hub and spoke" the leader appears to hoard power(despite words to the contrary) and instead of trust and generosity directs fierce accountability towards the spokes with the edict that the bottom will be sloughed off to maintain optimal performance. Such a culture may get performance in the short run that shareholders will like, but few people will enjoy working at such places (even if they are richly rewarded with stock options).
Given the success of Google and the trials and tribulations of GE (despite Jeff Immelt trying to move away from a "hub and spoke" culture), hub and spoke may be an idea whose time has come…and gone.
To learn more about this, check out the best management and best book on cultural transformation that I have read in many years. It's entitled Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization by Dave Logan, John King and Halee-Fischer-Wright.

Native Australian David Sheppard summons the oft-quoted backpacker's mantra, "take only photographs, leave only footprints," as he reflects on the fragility — and relatively newfound fame — of the natural wonders added in recent years to the UNESCO World Heritage List. "Natural World Heritage sites represent the best of what nature has to offer," says Sheppard, Head of the Protected Areas Program for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the organization which recommended the sites.
Chosen by a committee of the United Nations' Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), World Heritage sites denote natural and cultural areas recognized for their universal value to humanity. The selection process involves extensive field work by conservation experts who have, in most cases, dedicated their lives to studying the natural world. Therefore, says Sheppard, "It is important to travel in a respectful and low impact manner. We would like tourists to tread lightly when visiting these important natural phenomena."
Slideshow: New natural wonders
Though it is popular with local Chinese, Mount Sanqingshan National Park in the Jiangxi Province of Eastern China is currently virtually unknown to foreigners. But the park boasts suspended walking trails from which hikers can gaze upon the incredibly unique formations of granite rock and highly diverse tree populations in its forest, thereby preventing a high impact from foot traffic and keeping travelers in safe, designated areas.
Michael Brombacher, Project Coordinator for the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity in Kazakhstan, says, "The nomination of Saryarka was meant to protect the site. Nobody in the country thought of tourism [as an outcome]." In northern Kazakhstan, Saryarka comprises over 500,000 acres of wetlands which as many as 16 million threatened birds use as a resting point in their migration cycle. The open savannah and lakes here offer a protected nursery for thousands of waterfowl which nest here en route from Africa, Europe and southern Asia to Siberia. The endangered saiga antelope also lives in Saryarka.
Regardless of the nomination's intent, tourism will certainly come and when it does, the IUCN will be actively monitoring it. Keeping watch over future numbers at the UNESCO sites is part of IUCN's role, notes Sheppard, who says revealing the sites responsibly to inquisitive, educated travelers is one of the best ways to preserve them. Ultimately, he says, the relationship between the UNESCO natural wonders and those who visit them is a symbiotic one. "We ask that people do their homework before visiting," says Sheppard. "This way, they can truly appreciate the beauty of these eight wonders."

Speaking of beauty, the Lagoons of New Caledonia could easily figure in the final scene of a James Bond movie. Imagine 007 luxuriating in the arms of an exotic diva with the turquoise waters and powdery sands of the lagoons in the background. First impressions aside, it is the highly diverse coral reef ecosystems of these lagoons — an overseas territory of France located in the Pacific Ocean east of Australia — that helped them achieve the recognition and protection of UNESCO status. Some scientists believe that the coral reefs and fish life here actually surpass numbers found in the much larger Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The island of Surtsey was formed by volcanic eruptions in the 1960s and is part of a cluster of islands known as the Westmen Isles, scattered off the southern coast of Iceland. Surtsey is cherished by scientists who are fascinated by the colonization patterns of new varieties of plants and animals that have settled there. While the entire island is a preserve and no human contact with any part of it is allowed, people can see Surtsey from neighboring isles.
Perhaps the most remote of the eight new wonders is Socotra Archipelago in Yemen, known to some as the "Galapagos of the Indian Ocean." Currently, 75 percent of the region in and around Socotra is part of a natural sanctuary on account of the diverse species that have made the area home. Ninety percent of the reptiles in Socotra can be found nowhere else in the world, while about 40 percent of its plant species are unique to the region. Yemeni ecotourism outfits as well as environmental organizations have been organizing sustainable tourism in Socotra for the past few years. Its inclusion on UNESCO's list brings with it a higher profile, but its remote location all but guarantees that it will remain pristine for a long time to come.

The start was the announcement of Manchester city's medical staff that Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne suffered a strong knee injury during his team's training, which made everyone panic about the strength of the injury.
After returning from an injury that caused his absence for three months, he suffered a new injury, where Man City coach Pep Guardiola stated that Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was injured during his participation in the team's match against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
De Bruyne suffered a hamstring injury during the match, according to coach Pep during remarks to the press,
Fans around the world are waiting for De Bruyne's return from injury and the return of football fun again.
De Bruyne says that his wife, Michelle Lasroy, is his biggest supporter and is standing by him in the darkest of circumstances.
She was also the first person who was very afraid of being injured, but she tried to hold on to him so that she did not feel the danger of it, which made him grow stronger and bear his pain.

This is a brief post in lieu of the fall favourites post I've been working on for weeks, but it's been so long since I posted (a whole month?!) that I thought I should drop by before that's finished.
This is a lot of pink--three different shades, in fact, all from Manic Panic. The bottom layer is Fuchsia Shock, the middle layer is Cleo Rose, and the two light streaks + my bangs are Cotton Candy Pink. The Cotton Candy Pink only slightly tinted my hair, which was my intention because it's supposed to show up only on platinum blonde hair and mine is definitely not. The Fuchsia Shock stained everything. My left ear is still pink over 24 hours later.
I'm not looking forward to washing this and trying to get the water to run clear.
Makeup I'm wearing: Urban Decay Naked foundation in 1.0, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomade in Dark Brown, Urban Decay eyeshadow in Haight, NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Glitzy Gold, and Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick in Bauhau5.

It is not just your civic duty, it is your right to vote. That right was earned by the blood, determination, imprisonment and ridicule of those that fought for it. Our country didn't begin with voting freedom. In fact, only male property owners over the age of 21 were allowed to vote. That pretty much restricted voting to white, protestant men. Since 1776 we have come a long way, broken through many barricades. Eventually all white men, then black men, then women, then Asians, then Native Americans and then finally citizens ages 18-20. (Until 1971, you had to be 21 years old to vote). There were more obstacles than you can imagine. As soon as a voting privilege was extended, there were barriers erected to block them. Examples of these barriers were polling taxes, religious requirements, literacy tests and language requirements. Voter suppression has been the greatest battle in the American voting system. Men and women have paid for these rights through terrible and painful sacrifices. So please, on November 8th, take a moment to recognize the blood, defiance, sweat, tears, pain, joy, celebration, and victory that went into your right to cast a vote. Recognize, for just a moment, how precious it is.
No matter how you are voting, remember that when you hold a ballot in your hand, you have power over the government. In that moment, the great machine answers to you. It is a great responsibility and an even greater honor. So, do not be silent, let your voice be heard. Vote.
We are One Woman, One World.

How to Prune Overgrown Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas provide summer flowers that persist in beauty even after they have dried on the shrub. In cool coastal regions, bigleaf (Hydranga macrophylla) and oakleaf (H. quercifolia) varieties thrive, although the peegee (H. paniculata "Grandiflora") can also grow and flower well. Bigleaf and oakleaf types produce their blooms on 1-year-old or older wood, so require careful pruning to ensure enough bloom-producing branches remain for summer flowering. Peegee and other new-wood bloomers tolerate more extensive pruning since they flower on new growth.
Old-Wood Flowering Varieties
Remove up to one-third of the length of each stem immediately following bloom in summer to maintain the shape and size of the shrub. Cut each branch at a 45-degree angle above a leaf node or leaf set, using clean shears.
Cut out any damaged or crossed branches. Prune damaged branches back to the nearest leaf or node or healthy wood. Remove crossed branches at the base so they don't rub together and cause further damage.
Inspect the hydrangea in late winter before new growth begins. Remove any dead branches at their base. Determine if a branch is dead by scraping it with your fingernail -- living branches have a green interior within the scrape and dead branches are brown. Cut back damaged branches to the nearest healthy node.
New-Wood Flowering Varieties
Prune back the branches that bloomed the previous summer in late winter when the shrub is still dormant. Cut back the branches to within 1/4 inch of a leaf node or bud with shears, removing up to one-third of the branch's length.
Thin out the oldest branches on the shrub if it has become overgrown or overly dense. Remove up to one-third of the stems at their base.
Cut off any remaining dried flower clusters on the branches. The flowers can remain on the shrub through winter, but begin to look unattractive after a few months.
Remove any dead or damaged branches. Cut these out at the base or trim them back to healthy new wood.
Things Needed
- Pruning shears
- Hydrangeas usually don't require yearly pruning. Trim them every two to three years to maintain their basic shape and desired size.
- Endless blooming hydrangea varieties rarely require pruning. You can remove damaged wood at any time and do a light shaping prune after the last fall bloom.

From Larry J. Dunlap:
Just recently heard that Night People is stocked at Amoeba Music on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA. The iconic music and record store is located between Ivar and Cahuenga. It's a fantastic place and located near many places on Sunset Boulevard where the story of NIght People takes place:
- the Hullabaloo Afterhours, west on Sunset where we played with many of the most popular acts of the early 1960s.
- Gazzari's Nightclub; at Sunset and Doheny where we were playing when I had a crisis of faith about our music up in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Sunset, just one week before we opened at Caesars Palace in December of 1966.
- The Sunset Las Brea Travelodge where La Brea crosses Sunset – we had to sneak most of the guys in Stark Naked and the Car Thieves in at night we were so broke.
- The Red Velvet where we switched clubs with Ike and Tina Turner so we would be close to Producer's Workshop
the studio where we did most of our recording.
- Also, not far from where my studio, City Recorders, was located in the Paramount Lot in the late 1970s.
- And several other places you can find in both
Quick reminder, the concluding volume of Things We Lost in the Night, Enchanted, Book 2, will be available for early review soon. Get Your Copy HERE if you'd like to review the new book.Share this
