Picture this — a large, warm, salt-water floating pool, in a building designed to look like a futuristic circus tent. I put my head underwater and I am enveloped by relaxing music. Lying so just my ears are under, I listen to the music, trying to let my mind slip away, but I can't shake the feeling that I am Eleven from Stranger Things right now… minus the superpowers, growing up in a lab, being torn away from my mother, shaven head, visiting the Upside Down, dealing with Demagorgons stuff, but other than all that, LITERALLY Eleven, guys.
The whole combination is mesmerising: the warmth, the music, the floating, and the architecture. My immersion in the Musical Pool in Berlin's Liquidrom, on the west side of Potsdamer Platz, is just the beginning of my weird and wonderful two-hour experience.
The Musical Pool
At 19,50€, It's not too expensive to get in, and you'll save money by taking your own towels and swimwear. Funnily enough, I hadn't prepared for swimming on an April trip to Germany (sarcasm, by the way) so I ended up buying a cheap bikini from Primark. The entry fee covers two hours of access to the Liquidrom's basic facilities: the pools, shallow enough to be enjoyed by swimmers and non-swimmers alike, the steam baths, and last but definitely not least: the nude saunas.
In the Hot Seat
At this point you have to strip everything off. I'll admit I was apprehensive at first. If like me, you've grown up in countries where public nudity is an offence, where even in changing rooms people might blush or chuckle to themselves if someone goes completely starkers, you'll understand my brief flash (pun definitely intended) of panic when other people entered the 80 degree sauna and it hit me that I was naked as the day I was born, as was that guy, and that girl and that other lady and…
The thing is though, Berliners are very open minded, and they don't care about what you look like or the fact you've got no clothes on. This is all part of what they call "the urban bathing culture" and they're just there for some of that sweet heat, mate. It's pretty awesome really, so it didn't take long for me to relax and enjoy the warmth and sweet floral smell of the wood.
Once I'd proven to myself that I could handle 80 degrees, I challenged myself by venturing into the 90 degree sauna. I intended to stay for just a moment, purely to see if I could make it without melting. You see, I don't do well in extreme heat. I'm the first to start sweating in dance classes, the first to turn off the heating or open a window.
Well, now was the time to get over that, so I closed my eyes and tried to ignore the rustle of other people entering the sauna and settling in. My reverie was abruptly broken when one of the spa attendants walked in and rattled off in German (and in case you were wondering, no, he was not naked, he had a towel wrapped around his waist). Everyone else, being German, knew what he was talking about and murmured in agreement. One smart alec made a comment and was immediately shushed by the attendant, which filled me with mild trepidation because I knew there was no way I could ask someone to translate and explain what the hell was going on and, worse, I couldn't ask to open a window or turn off the heating.
So, I sat (yes, naked) and just decided to go along with it. The attendant poured a range of infusions on the hot coals, then began brandishing a towel (not the one around his waist) above his head, sending waves of delectable, hot, scented vapour in my direction. I tried to immerse myself in the experience once more, but I was finding it hard not to laugh. I felt I was watching some offbeat Magic Mike strip tease, this muscly, shirtless dude whipping the towel round like a ceiling fan… but since everyone else was so serious, (probably because the heat was making them silently combust) I hurriedly closed my eyes again and tried to 'let go' instead of focusing on how bizarre this all was. Then just as I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed by the heat, Magic Mike opened the door to the sauna, announced something in German and everyone stood up to leave. Thank God, I thought, we're done. To my dismay, however, everyone left their towels behind. My Berliner exposure was far from over.
Getting Salty
We went outside and the man handed each of us a huge handful of granulated salt. I think the sauna had steamed my brain like pork dumplings at Sunday afternoon yum cha, because I stood there for a second and just stared at him dumbly with the salt in my hand, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do with it.
It was then that I noticed a board on an easel by the door to the sauna : 9pm, Salzpeeling session — Salt peeling, that is, exfoliation. It all (mostly) made sense now.
I assumed we were meant to rub the salt into our skin so I set to doing that, trying to avoid eye contact with the butt-naked crowd standing around me, and especially avoiding eye contact with the couples getting a little too into the whole salt-rubbing activity together (get a room, guys).
However, because my German comprehension hadn't magically improved (not that the brain steaming had done me any favours) I still had no idea what we were meant to do once we'd rubbed in the salt. Magic Mike yelled something and people trooped into the the shower. And so, my skin newly soft thanks to the surprise exfoliation, I followed suit and desalted. I'll give them this, the whole salt and steam combo works wonders for your skin — not only was I as naked as a baby, but now as soft as one too!
It was then back to the sauna, with the heat really amped up. After sitting there for God knows how much longer (one guy even ditched before the end, not being able to handle it) finally, it was over. I hadn't melted, hadn't developed a heat rash, hadn't asked to open a window. I'd survived, my skin had never felt softer and my brain would probably be perfect served with some stir-fried bok choy and sesame squid tomorrow at lunch.
Final Moments
After coming down from the high of knowing I hadn't died, and feeling the cool air again, I realised I actually felt incredibly dizzy. I put my bikini back on and went to lie in the jacuzzi outside for a little while. I welcomed the breeze (the people who were still naked were welcoming the breeze a lot more than I was. Apart from the musical pool, you can be nude in the other baths in the Liquidrom.) Then, given that I only had about half an hour left in the Liquidrom, I moved on to another bath. I beat a hasty retreat, however, as in it were two couples having a great time straddling each other.
Incidentally, many Liquidrom reviews moan about the PDA from couples. You have to just focus on your own relaxation and ignore them if possible – you've paid just as much as they have to enter, so don't let it spoil your visit! As with all reviews, you've got to take what you read with a grain of salt (please tell me you got that pun).
And so I found myself back where I'd started: the Musical Pool. Once again, I closed my eyes, lay on my back, and let the water take my weight. There was quite a range of music being played this time: classical, electronic, some with lyrics and some without. It was spell-binding, so much so that when I opened my eyes again, I realised I'd floated to the other side of the pool into a throng of couples enjoying themselves pretty thoroughly.
I took this as my cue to leave, my time being up anyway. All in all, it was a successfully freeing experience: simultaneously hilarious, disconcerting, and relaxing. And if, while in Germany's capital you find yourself in need of visiting the Upside Down and killing a Demagorgon with your mind, well, you've no excuse to not go to the Liquidrom.

HP Inc vows: We're not walking away from Continuum
WP Fanboi here, just chiming in to say I use continuum a lot. BT sport on EE is a fiver a month which I cast to my big telly. Picture is super sharp, even if the frame rate is a touch under silky smooth (just a touch, mind).
I Also run Spotify on the small screen and have the sound come through the AV system so I use it in the garden as a sort of remote control (I realise if Spotify had ever have updated their WP app as they have on ios/android I could link two spotifii together to achieve the same thing.)
The last thing it's also surprisingly good for is browsing youtube, the on screen keyboard/touchpad being miles better than having either a full size wireless jobbie, or one of those crappy media centre keyboard things, or the arrow keys of a remote control.
These aren't the use cases they're going for, clearly, but they're undeniably handy and it even impresses my Android/iPhone owning friends.
Sigh, I hope they don't drop the ball &/or give up on this one as well. Sadly persistence doesn't seem to be the Microsoft way right now.

Why did Comet fail? Hint: It wasn't just the credit insurers
Bit of schadenfreude in this for me because back in about '99ish I was Comet shop floor staff but I was working down at the head office for a bit. I got caught by the regional sales manager in the corridor, he asked me what I thought of HQ. I said to him "You need to sort out some kind of eCommerce website because otherwise your sales are going to get eaten up by Amazon" Laugh? He damn nearl spat his coffee all over me before retorting "We don't see the internet as a big part of our business" before going about his business. So, I went away thinking I was stupid while him and the rest of them set Comet on a path to self destruction. Ha. Hope he got state mimimum redundancy.

LCD TV shipments slip for FIRST TIME EVER
Re: It is possible to have TV that is 'good enough'
Have to say, I agree with grandparent post here. Nothing lasts nowadays as well as it used to. Unless you we're very unlucky washing machines would go for 15 years no fuss, tvs - not unusual to get 20 years out of one. Nowadays everything is built down to tolerances so fine, you are lucky to get 5 years. I mean, it just does not make sense for manufacturers to make things that last ages, they need to drive the price down as low as they can get it and you don't get that by over-engineering anything. You get exceptions, of course - Miele is one brand that springs to mind, but their washers for example start at around 4 or 5 times the price of your basic hoover, hotpoint or zanussi appliance. It's all about inbuilt-obsolesence, gets the customers coming back for more stuff more often. Oh, they might not choose your product next time, but you'll pick up as many ticked-off customers from your competitors as they pick up from you. There's a reason we're all CONSUMERS nowadays, and not CUSTOMERS anymore.
Microsoft withdraws software silos from Germany in patent war
Re: Jurisdiction
Whilst US desicions are not enforcable in Germany, it would affect Motorola operations in America - if a US judge says Motorola should bot proceed in Germany, it would put them in contempt of the US court and affect operations over there. It works both ways and the German judge could do the same thing, then it's up to the recipient to decide which market is the more valuable.
I've seen this kind of thing before, and to be fair the judges are wise old creatures and they normally seem to come up with cross-border decisions which make each of the participants eat a little humble pie. I can only hope this will be the case here.
Windows 8 for Kindle-like gear hinted by Microsoft bigwig
Re: Great
Samuel, if you want to do the streaming and help your wife out, learn "how to use compooter" first. I find knowing how stuff works helps me a lot, so much so, I have none of these problems. I manage a smallish fleet of 200 Windows 7 laptops/desktops (heterogeneous hardware) as well as having a sweet media streaming network at home, and you know what, I can make it work flawlessly with almost no effort.
the secret is, take admin privs away from kids, wives, guests housemates etc. If you know your stuff you'll have it setup so installing anything is a once in a blue moon activity - all they wanna do is surf the web and watch funny cat videos. Next, don't go round installing EVERY PIECE OF SHIT THING CODEC BULLSHIT THING THAT HAPPENS TO LOOK INTERESTING.
Make sure your hardware is up to the job, are you using mixed pairs of EDO RAM in your 486SX which is running Windows 7 and streaming all your shit - GUESS WHAT - it's gonna give problems.
Learn to use the sysinternals tools - computer don't just get slow because they're bored - something's causing it, and you should be able to find out what.
Virtualise dude. Give stuff a good testing first - you'll find that 3rd party apps/pirated codecs/open source half finished media streamers/etc are APPALLING. That will solve almost all your problems right there. Sometimes, you might even have to shell out for a half decent piece of software. It's worth doing. Heck most of what I do is done using only tools that are built into windows, it's amazingly stable and covers 99% of use cases very well. Of course there's a learning curve, and it's not as much fun as installing every POS software you find, then bitching on an internet forum about how shitty Microsoft is.

Yes, great solution until you end up in an arms race where minor infringments become disciplinary matters instead of informal chit chats until, eventually, you find yourself out of a job having no reference. There's no end of rules and bullshit they can make up if they don't want you there. It's best in most cases just to shut up and take the shafting, or find another job. Not all of us are prepared or so financed that we might drag it through the courts where a 50/50 result awaits at the outcome.

Has Microsoft finally killed off Windows 8 Start button?
Groundhog Day
Yawn. You lot come out the woodwork every time Microsoft moves a pixel to denounce it as the worst thing ever to befall mankind. Yet looking at the two screenshots in Sinfosky's linked blog post shows Windows 95 Start vs Win 7 Start and it's the vast increases over time in functionality, usability and usefulness mean the two, although clearly related, are two completely different species. It's Ardipithecus Ramidus Vs Homo Sapiens. Their design descisions have been spot on the vast majority of the time! Like most stubborn IT archaea, I bet you hate the ribbon as well?
Five ways Microsoft can rescue Windows Phone
The interface is blazingly efficient though - you can get to any app in four moves:
Starting at Homescreen
More -> 'A' -> 'First letter of app's name' -> Possible Swoosh (If it's not already displayed)
Thats ANY app. You can get to a max of 261 apps (I think) in 3 moves cos you won't need the swoosh. Nearly the same with contacts, but you sometimes need two swooshes...
iPhone in three moves is, I think, 68 possible apps - I stand ready to be corrected on that! Android is similar.
agreed! DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERFACE. It's beautiful and classy, something you can't say about the other other two. Nerds never seem to get this, I certainly don't want IN YOUR FACE information overload otherwise I'd still have an android. I don't think any major changes are required, just a few siri-like gimmicks to show off, a couple of beautiful clean hardware designs like Apple churn out, and, crucially, a bit of mindshare. I suspect WP7 is a slow burner but will mushroom at some point. It's too good not to.

Launching Zune drags everything almost to a halt, and Silverlight webpages have a similar effect. This is on an otherwise clean install... Is this normal, or have I screwed something up?

I'm sure somewhere in there there's some kind of business idea ;-)

WinPho sceptics cut Lumia 800 sales estimates in half
you've totally got your shit wrong dude. You CAN listen to music whilst doing other stuff. I don't know what you were reading because this has been in WP7 since day one. Might I be so bold as to suggest you've misunderstood? In any case I'd love to get a reference to the document you claim to have read.
Faffing around with SD cards is not an issue to 99% of people, as evidenced by iPhone.
It's WAY more convenient not having to deal with seperate silos of storage caused by having a memory card. You sync your data either by uploading it straight to skydrive directly from the phone itself - which is super easy. Or if you fancy keeping it local, then you hook up to zune and sync to your PC. There's even a Mac sync client, if that's your platform of choice.
I understand some people feel the need to carry with them more data than can ever be consumed in a lifetime, and if so, cool, go android, but if you're actually rational about these things, then WP7 is a decent choice.
Windows 8 aims to make security updates less painful
Do us all a favour, read a book before spreading FUD.
Jeebus H Christ people! The sharing is only done *BY DEFAULT* in a domain environment, where your administrators should looking after security for you. It can be easily disabled via group policy if you don't have confidence in your password policies.
If your NON DOMAIN installation has the C$ D$ etc shares, someone has done something twonky as this is not the behaviour out of the box. And if you are confident in your nerd ability, you are able to share the entire drive (any drive, including C) via the advanced sharing button.
Any behaviour outside of this has been caused by either an administrative policy (if it's a work PC you don't own), the OEM, yourself, someone else who has accessed your PC, or some third party software.
It really narks me when people blame their own ignorance on Microsoft/Google/Apple whoever the whipping boys happen to be.
Just trolling: It's OK to poke fun at Christians, says ASA
See now, with religion, it's all a matter of degrees innit? Only kids believe in the beardy sky fairy, only nutjobs in the US believe in creationis^W Intelligent Design. But whatever your personal fantasy is, you all believe in some crazy fucked up shit.
For instance, pretty much all of you have to believe that the Bible (Koran/Veda/Whatever) is some kind of teaching from the big man, whether you think it's literal, allegorical or whatever. And from those teachings you pretty much take the bits you like and leave the bits you don't, so much so that, like snowflakes, no two of you fairy-story-believing crackpots has quite the same take on it. And yet, without exception, you all think that people who don't believe whatever one true path you happen to believe in are going to spend the afterlife in some excruciating pain. (unless you happen to have chosen to ignore that particular part of your teaching as well). All this stuff with not using condoms (Catholicism), or not turning on a light switch on Fridays (Judaism - Only incandescent though, fluorescent bulbs are, apparently, OK!!), or giving up a perfectly good Sunday to go and prey to a non-existent entity, when you could be doing some charity work or helping an elderly neighbour.
I mean it's all so scattergun and illogical, how can anyone say with a straight face that they lend any kind of credence to this big time major bullshit is beyond me. I mean the books are based on stories handed down by word of mouth during the late Iron age FFS!
And then you go and force feed it to children before they're old enough to think. That's practically child abuse.
There's so many things wrong with religion, and, as an Atheist, I can tell you you certainly don't need religion in your life to be a tolerant, good, well adjusted individual. (Yes, I'm tolerant, you'll never see me snub a Christian, or protest at a Mosque build, I'm just passionate about people not wasting their lives with this rubbish) At least Atheists aren't being good just because we're scared of what "god" might do to us, we're good because we mean it.
David Attenborough has yet another good take on the whole thing:
"My response is that when Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And [I ask them], 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy".
Sorry for the rant but religion is so full of crap, I can't help myself.
A beer for everyone, non-alcoholic if your particular storybook doesn't allow.

Your data stays where it is, it's more of a sync than an import.
Too posh for hotmail and got all your contacts on Gmail? No problem, sync the account and when you throw the phone away your contacts are all still on G-mail where they started. no lock-in here! When you add a new contact to G-mail, (hotmail, facebook, whatever) it automagically syncs itself to the phone.
Works both ways too, you get the choice of where to store any contacts when you add them via the device.

Check my history, I've consistenly posted good things about the OS. It is waaaaayyyy better than android PROVIDED you're not a tinkerer! You can't really do much outside of make phonecalls, browse the web, facebook, apps, kindle etc. It's really neat the way it combines all your calendars and contacts, I've over 400 (Outlook, Hotmail & Facebook) and it's easy to get to whoever really quick. You won't need to worry about memory management or battery life. Car analogy: I think Android is a bit like owning a 1962 beetle which needs a lot of love and attention. Beautiful thing, but sometimes you just want to nip around in your BMW 5 series which just works. iPhone is more like a Ford mustang - loved by all who own them, but you can tell none of them have ever experienced a proper European car :) Zune desktop is lovely, still suprised it came out of Redmond! And the best bit is - it's not an iPhone! No-one else has one, so people are curious when they see one so you can show off a bit to them = "I'm popular, hurrah!".

Just so you know, I've been walking this mortal coil a lot (A LOT) longer than you reckon, boy. I so very hope we're in the same sector and I get to meet you during one of our next few acquisitions.
So what you're saying is...
Facebook and slacking at work cost me money, so I block them and then throw that very same money at them later in the way of bonuses instead. At the same time my staff have the morale of a turkey at Christmas, and my recruiting costs are sky high due to staff turnover.
Yeah, nice one bud.
This possibly explains your experience with the 'Great British workforce' you mentioned above. Me, I think it's better to keep good staff long term and not have to worry about where I can get replacements from, or the problem of lower productivity whilst the new slaves get themselves bedded in. Over and above all that, the 'cost' of not blocking access is so miniscule, that our staff seem to get bonuses *anyway*.
I've had this conversation many, many times, with people who, IMHO just don't get it. I think we're simply on paths that are diametrically opposed, and never the twain shall meet. I've never yet convinced anyone pre-conditioned to your way of thinking that it actually is better this way. Similarly vice versa.
I happen to think you're on the wrong path, as do you, I, but that's what the makes the world go round, right? I guess it all comes out in the wash and we'll find out sooner or later who's right. As with most things, it's probably somewhere in the middle. Best of luck for your venture.
You, sir
are a dinosaur. TBH, I'm glad the world is filled with people like you, because it makes it so much easier to sweep up your disaffected staff, bring them in to a culture where they are respected and have them turn over literally millions of pounds worth of business for us. Recession people say - What recession we're saying - seems like we're doing something right. We're on track for record profits, 4th consecutive year.
But, do keep up the good work, Cap'n. Minimum Wage & Maximum Boredom, that's obviously the way to retain a high caliber person on the staff roster.
Bet you're a blast at parties.

Pliés in second position
- Make sure the feet are out much wider than hip distance apart with the knees tracking over the second and third toe.
- When you plié, try to keep the torso upright like you're sliding down a wall.
Pliés into a curtsey and retire
- Keep the legs externally rotated from the upper part of the thighs to safely move through the curtsey and retire, lengthening through the whole body to stay engaged through the core.
Plié into lunge with rotations
- Start in a wide second position and pivot on the back foot to rotate into a lunge.
- Ensure the knees are tracking over the toes and that the torso is lengthened to engage through the core.
Arabesque toe taps
- Keep the supporting leg parallel and bent and the upper body pitching forward in order to remove excess pressure from the lower back.
- Lengthen and lift the leg while zipping up through the stomach.
- Lower the big toe down to the floor and allow the little toe to draw up to the ceiling.
Grand battements with pulses
- Open the feet to a shallow first position (think a little v through the feet).
- Slide the leg forward and up, controlling the movement and only allowing yourself to raise your leg as high as your hips.
- Ensure your supporting leg doesn't bend.
- Note: Only lengthen to the point you can control rather than just throwing the leg up and down.

Brendan Rodgers has tipped Daniel Sturridge to get even better after the England striker helped fire Liverpool to a 4-3 victory over Swansea at Anfield.
Sturridge scored twice in the thrilling win , which helped move the Reds six points clear of Spurs in the race for fourth place, to take his tally to 18 in his 19 league games and 21 overall for the season.
He has also netted in eight of his last nine games.
Rodgers purred: "He's a natural goal-scorer. He has great pace and it was a wonderful pass by young Raheem [Sterling] for his first goal. That gave us a great start and it was a really good finish.
"His second goal is in an area of his game he needs to improve. It was a lovely ball by Luis, clipped in, and he's finished it really well with the header.
"He just looks like he can score in every single game. He's got that ability, he's got that quality. Thankfully, he plays for us here and he's still got a lot of improving to do."
Rodgers also praised Jordan Henderson, who provided Roy Hodgson with a timely reminder of his ability before he names his squad for next week's friendly against Denmark by also scoring twice.
"Jordan, he showed great leadership," said the Northern Irishman. "You could see him driving the team on.
"We have been talking to him about getting him up there. In training, his finishing is sublime. He practises and works at it.
"His second goal really pleased me. I try to get him into the box because he has got the energy and he did that to score the winner."

MTV Review: Jack Garratt Was Electric For Brits Week
Having already scooped up the Brits Critics' Choice Award this year, it was only right that Jack Garratt performed as part of the run up to the highly anticipated ceremony.
So as we made our way to Heaven, London, last night (February 16), our expectations were just a little high.
But it's okay, because he bought his a-game.
Smashing his way through his more well-known tracks such as 'Breathe Life' and 'Love You're Given', the crowd were just as rowdy as he was, which was no mean feat.
Though for us it was his cover of Craig David's 'Seven Days' and Justin Timberlake's 'Señorita' that sealed our love for him, which only grew when he smashed his new track, 'Fire', out of the park.
Aside from a few timing issues which led to a bit of a panic attack, and the fact that he indulged in the tiniest of rants against Kanye West, it was a really quite special evening.
Jack Garratt's debut album, Phase, is out Friday 19 February

S Aufrecht's Blog
Another day, another hat
Hat #35. For an adult, not a baby.
I got on an airplane and picked up the knitting bag and found the pattern had gone missing. I was just past the plain ribbing, having cabled the bigger cables once. I decided to live
la vida loca
and just wing it (no pun intended) without the pattern. I did another fifteen or twenty rows. When I landed and (practically) rushed immediately to Atelier for a new pattern, I discovered that the smaller cable was supposed to twist twice as frequently. So I ripped out all the bogus rows, which gave me a chance to practice threading a circular needle into a work in progress in order to unravel back to it, an activity that has haunted my dreams ever since I first conceived that I might some day need to do it. The key lesson here, of course, is to never take risks, because they might break bad and you could find yourself doing something you never wanted to do.
The Ravelry project.

Action… the thrill of the chase, the depth of the mystery, your blood pumping, your head pumping, your heart racing and then "Hey!" someone yells at you and you fight the urge to punch them in surprise, horror or anger. That is the thing about action books, unlike the TV series or movies, you get to imagine the story for yourself; picture the characters described, live in the places and root for the good guys all without getting out of bed and no WiFi. I love me some good thriller/action books, not too gory and with just the right amount of romance without it being too mushy and we are a go. I get quite a good workout from just sitting there and reading because I sweat so much, shuffle around and put the book down in total shock like five times. I love it especially if there is a christian theme to it; no cuss words, no sex scenes, no vulgar scenes, no brutality or gore and most definitely a redeeming and calming end. So if you love action books or have a friend/son/nephew/daughter/niece or spouse who would die for a good thrill then I would definitely recommend this list. So read and share it and if you've read these books, comment below what you thought of them. No spoilers ;D The next part will be posted next week so be sure to look out for it and have a fantastic new month of March.
Hope you guys have gotten some good new reads to occupy your time and if you have read all the ones on today's list, I hope you'll check out next week's continuation of the same list so please do follow the blog to get a notification when I post it up. Comments are most welcome if you have read the books or would like any more book lists put up. Like if this totally helped and share it with someone who will need it.
Much love and light to you, Shalom, Kenah
1. The Homelanders – Andrew KlavanStephen King hailed this guy as "the most original crime and suspense novelist since Cornell Woolrich". I mean talk about high praise! And trust me, he has earned it. He had my 13 year old brother who hates novels turning pages, missing meals and soccer just to finish the first of the books. There are four books in the series though I have only read two and know that the third one that is making the rounds in our house but I can tell you, what I have read so far has me grappling for air. It's about this teenage boy, Charlie West, who wakes up in someone else's nightmare, or so he thinks, and wonders how to get out alive. he doesn't know who to trust and he doesn't know whose side to be on and accused of something he cannot remember. These books are excellent, thrilling and adrenaline-pumping. It is great for teenagers but ain't we all teenagers by heart? I would actually recommend it for teen boys because it will keep their mind occupied, teach them valuable lessons and keep them out of trouble. Definitely get this for a teenage/young adult boy in your life.
2.Nick Barret Series -Sigmund BrouwerSigmund is great with writing fantasy novels ( a whole other list) but he is also super amazing with psychological thrillers. He knows how to build suspense and yet leave a story at a merciful end and in the process teach about God's grace and redemption. Nick Barrett is a private investigator whose story we find starts when a girl from the wrong side of Charleston tries to sell a 17th century painting that had been stolen 30 years ago. He then gets entangled with a woman trying to free herself and her child from a cult and Nick thus has to start a journey back not only to his hometown, but to his own hate-filled past to unearth mysteries of his life and of God's grace as he tries to save the lives of others. There are three books in total and they are such a fast,deeply engaging tale of intrigue that you cannot help but eat it up and ask for more. You definitely want to start on them and they are great for anyone above 15 really unless you scare easily 🙂
3. The Storm Series – Rene GutteridgeNow this series is by a woman which I think half of the list will be by(I didn't even realize I had chosen like that) and it all centers around Mick Kline. He wakes up in an empty apartment belonging to a woman he may have slept with, hangover and not at all aware of how much his life is about to change. He becomes the prime suspect in a murder case and his only help will have to come from his estranged christian brother who happens to be a cop and so he runs; from the case, from his family, from his past and from God. As he gets deeper lost in the dangers, he has to face the fact that only God knows the truth and only God can set him free. You will definitely want to follow the three books – Storm Gathering, the splitting storm and Storm Surge – to the end to see how Mick Kline, adult partier and womanizer, turns out and how his story pens out through the years. It is a fast-paced suspense and takes you on a roller coaster ride. The story is excellent and I would recommend it to adults, only because some of the questions grappled with may not have occurred to younger people. Key word is may, because I read these books at 17 and I most definitely connected with them so go ahead and buy them for a teenager near you.
4. Team Hope – Susan May WarrenI love how Susan writes because there is always so much heart in it, so if you want to go deep into your feelings, I suggest you get this series. Flee the night, Escape to morning and Expect the sunrise follow the members of Team Hope, a special rescue team in their deeply thrilling yet personal stories. They all have different jobs like Green Beret, Search and Rescue and emergency rescue pilot but they come together in times of true crisis. The series begins with team leader by default Micah who has been contacted by NSA fugitive Lacey Montogemery, the love of his life and wife of his best friend who also happens to be an ex-CIA operative and a murderer and liar…apparently, to help her hide her daughter but he ends up going with her on the adventure of a lifetime. Follow them as they rush to clear both their names among other things in the romantic thriller. If you love romance mixed in with your suspense then this series is for you.
5. Uncommon Heroes – Dee HendersonAgain, if you like romance with your thriller novel, Dee Henderson is your girl. She may be less touchy-feely than Susan May Warren though but still gets just as deep. the four books in the series, each following a different set of people with demanding and courageous jobs; from FBI agent to Navy SEAL to Fighter Pilot, CIA agent and fifth grade teacher. The books are riveting and totally worth the read. Each story is weaved perfectly until you feel exactly what they feel and experience the battle field with them. They appeal to the fighter, the patriot and the human in as all so definitely give them a try.
Hope you guys have gotten some good new reads to occupy your time and if you have read all the ones on today's list, I hope you'll check out next week's continuation of the same list so please do follow the blog to get a notification when I post it up. Comments are most welcome if you have read the books or would like any more book lists put up. Like if this totally helped and share it with someone who will need it.
Much love and light to you, Shalom, Kenah

Surgery: Hip replacement
Patients attending pre-operative assessment for their total hip replacement will be randomised into 2 groups. They will all be given the information booklet they have always been given which includes the statement that they will be in hospital 5-10 days. All patients will be managed identically to current practice. The pre-operative assessment clinic involves the patients meeting with a nurse, surgeon and anaesthetist to establish fitness for anaesthetic and operation. The patient also undergoes a fully informed consenting procedure to ensure they understand what the operation entails and risks of complications.
One subset of patients will be given some additional verbal information with regards to the details of their expected course. this will explain which days are targets for achieving sitting out of bed, mobilising with a zimmer and ultimately discharge date. The remaining patients will be managed as per current practice.
Management of the patients will then be identical and also no different from current management. They will undergo surgery and the same nursing and physiotherapy care on the ward. There will be no pressure for earlier discharge as the ward staff and physiotherapists will not be aware of which group is which.
Once the patients are discharged I will review their notesto document details such as age, sex, concurrent medical problems, type of prosthesis, day of surgery (if a patient is operated on Friday their discharge may be delayed as there is reduced physiotherapy over the weekend) and post-operative complications. It will be of course noted the actual length of stay. As a precaution the notes will also be reviewed 4 weeks following discharge to ensure the patients did not require readmission.
I will then compare the 2 groups against one another and statistically analyse to see if there is a significant difference in length of stay between them. A qualitative picture of whether length of stay has been shortened by increasing patients information about inpatient stay will be obtained by comparison of the groups.
Please note, this trial was superseded by the introduction of independent treatment centres with length of stay changing over night to a 5 day programme making this study null and void.

Participant inclusion criteria
All patients on the waiting list for a total hip replacement (under care of participating consultants) undergo pre-operative assessment 2-3 weeks prior to surgery. This is in order to check they are medically fit for surgery and also to make sure they understand the procedure and what to expect from the surgery.
The patients will be randomised into 2 groups and colour coded on the list of patients attending that day in pre-op assessment. The nurses and doctors in the pre-operative assessment unit will them know who is in which group. There will be no documentation on the patient notes stating which group they are in.
During the consultation with the doctor, half of the patients will be managed as per current practice. the other group will be verbally told additional information about their expected inpatient stay.
The patients will not be able to be informed of the study as this will obviously invalidate the results by heightening their awareness of the issue of inpatient stay (that is they may go and do further research themselves, including speaking to the other patients about what they have been told).

Stichwörter: Bickenbach, Tiere
I'm no dog expert, but I think riding on his back in this manner might fatigue him unnecessarily. :)
Great photo!
He was lucky – I didn't have the saddle with me that day so I had to walk ;-)
Thank you!
wie die Ansicht in Ego-Shootern…
nur annerschd!
In der Tat! Das Wort "annerschd" beschreibt den geringfügigen Unterschied übrigens perfekt ;-)
I think your Kisho is one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen - and that is saying a lot coming from a cat person! (Although I love all animals - and I love how much you obviously love your Kisho.) Can I also say how much I love your blog? I live in South Africa and unfortunately I don't have access to all the pencil brands that you demonstrate, but a girl can dream nevertheless. It was your blog that got me interested in pencils again, and now I don't write with anything else. My favourite are the German-made pencils (of course) - Faber Castell and Staedtler. Your photos of pencils are fantastic, and I particularly enjoy seeing the vintage adverts. I've printed and kept many of the pictures of the adverts and pencils, and check your blog daily to see if you (and Kisho) had added another post. It's a wonderful blog. Please keep it up!
Lara, thank you very much for your kind words! I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my blog, and I'll do my best to keep it up. It is always a pleasure to hear from readers who share my passion, and that you also enjoy the photos of Kisho makes me even happier. Thank you also for the compliments regarding my photos – I hope that you will be pleased in the future too!

Cisco Systems reported a profit that topped expectations as growth in Internet traffic supported sales of network equipment despite concerns of a slowing U.S. economy.
The maker of computer networking equipment reported earnings of 38 cents a share on revenue of $9.8 billion in its fiscal third quarter, excluding one-time items, compared with a profit of 34 cents a share on sales of $8.886 billion last year.
A consensus estimate compiled by Thomson Financial put earnings at 36 cents a share and sales at $9.75 billion. Analysts' estimates typically exclude one-time items.
Cisco also said on a conference call with analysts that it was comfortable with its long-term revenue growth target of 12 percent to 17 percent.
Shares of Cisco finished 0.19 percent higher Tuesday at $26.33. Although the stock rose 2.7 percent in extended electronic trading late Tuesday, concerns about Cisco's order growth surfaced early Wednesday, and Cisco shares were trading before the opening bell.
Including an acquisition-related charge of 4 cents a share, Cisco said its quarterly net profit for the fiscal third quarter fell to $1.8 billion, or 29 cents a share, from $1.9 billion, or 30 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.
"Thirty eight cents is a couple of pennies better than I was looking for and revenue was very slightly better than I was looking for," said Signal Hill Group Analyst Erik Suppiger. "My sense is they're probably seeing some level of stabilization versus incremental slowing in the past quarters, but it's really preliminary to be making that call."
Cisco said cash flow from operations totaled $3 billion in the latest quarter, up from $2.4 billion in the same period a year earlier. Days sales outstanding for the quarter came in at 39 days while inventory turns on a GAAP basis were 11.0 for the period. Non-GAAP inventory turns were 10.7 in the quarter.
The company also noted that it bought back 83 million shares of its common stock in the third quarter at an average price of $24.04 per share, spending a total of $2 billion. As of April 26, the company's remaining repurchase authorization amount was $9.8 billion.
Chief Executive John Chambers was comfortable with Cisco's long-term growth target and gave a current quarter revenue forecast in line with analysts' estimates, even though he noted that U.S. and European customers remained cautious.
"We are seeing some orders slide out and that's what normally occurs during a little bit more challenging economic times," Chambers told analysts on a conference call. "Overall I wouldn't say yet that there's a turn. I'd say it feels pretty steady in terms of the business momentum."
Chief Financial Officer Frank Calderoni also urged Wall Street to "model on the conservative side due to macro-economic challenges," after forecasting 9 percent to 10 percent revenue growth for the current quarter.
The largest maker of telecommunications equipment, Cisco is always a bellwether for the technology sector. It said U.S. orders growth was in the mid single digit percent for the quarter, while European orders rose 14 percent and emerging markets orders grew around 10 percent.
"It's a good solid report relative to expectations and relative to the macro environment going in. Cisco's good at executing, but it can't be all that bad if it's beating numbers," Mark McKechnie, analyst at American Technology Research.
Analysts pointed to strong demand from global telecommunications service providers, though they remained cautious over the strength of U.S. enterprise spending.
"We will continue to monitor closely any spread of the U.S. challenges to other geographies," Chambers said.
Cisco shares rose to $26.70 in after-hours trade after closing up 5 cents at $26.33 on Nasdaq. The shares have been under pressure in the past several months due to worries about weaker technology spending.

Aries is the working title for Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 4. This new Mission Impossible Movie is set to open on December 16th, 2011
And, among several other locations in Vancouver, Prague, Emirates, etc. Aries/Mission Impossible 4 is shooting near our office. Literally 🙂 Check the filming notice:
I'll be posting pictures from this Aries Mission Impossible 4 if I get something interesting, other than the several trucks and equipment parked next to the road.
As reported by Matt Goldberg on IMDB.COM:
Principal photography on Aries aka Mission: Impossible IV is set to begin December 6 and continue through March 7, 2011. While we knew that Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible IV wasn't going to be titled "Mission: Impossible IV", Production Weekly's tweet regarding the start date doesn't mean "Aries" is the title of the fourth Mission:Impossible movie. "Aries" is probably just a working title.
Hit the jump for a recap on everything we currently know about the next Mission: Impossible, which is set to open on December 16, 2011. Here's what we know about the next Mission: Impossible movie: The new movie will be a reboot of the series and won't be called Mission: Impossible IV. Tom Cruise is returning to play Ethan Hunt. Instead of leading a team this time out, he'll be working alongside a new agent played by Jeremy Renner.

Valentine's Day is a fun and romantic tradition all over the world, where sweethearts shower each other with tokens of love. But the holiday hasn't always been a day of heart-shaped candy boxes and diamond engagement rings. Wondering how traditions have evolved through the ages? Check out this infographic that takes a look at Valentine's Day gifts through the ages. From cards to engagement rings, we have every fun and romantic Valentine's fact covered!
Fertility Rites
While Valentine is the day's namesake, Valentine's Day has been linked to the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival celebrated on February 15. Lupercalia, however, was marked with animal sacrifices and hitting women with the hides of the sacrificed animals. To be struck was a mark of fertility for women. According to Britannica, Christians later changed Lupercalia to the Feast of Purification.
Tokens of Love
As years and generations passed, Valentine's Day has morphed into a day to celebrate love, devotion and romance. How couples celebrate this amorous holiday, however, may vary according to culture, age or even individual style. Some love to go all-in with an elegant dinner, a presentation of flowers and diamond jewelry. Others opt for low-key cool with a movie night, pizza and maybe some candy.
The Ultimate Gift: A Proposal!
Duos that are ready to take the next big step in their relationship might even celebrate Valentine's Day with a wedding proposal. After all, nothing says love and romance like an engagement ring and a forever promise! Valentine's Day is one of the most popular days for proposals, and in 2016, a report by American Express revealed that six million couples planned for a Valentine's Day engagement.
If you do plan to drop on bended knee on Valentine's Day, make sure to plan something extra special. With so many couples planning for a perfect proposal, originality goes a long way! Mix up the Valentine's Day plans to keep your beloved guessing. You might even want to hide the ring in a bouquet of roses during a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt. And, yes, roses remain one of the most iconic Valentine's Day gifts! However you decide to celebrate, remember there's no wrong way: it's all up to you and your beloved!

Creeping up the backstairs
Slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bath chairs
Furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises
She'll do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission
Cracks the whip deadpan on cue
Peek-A-Boo -- Peek-A-Boo
Peek-A-Boo -- Peek-A-Boo
Reeking like a pigsty
Peeling back and gagging free
Flaccid ego in your hand
Chokes on dry tears, can you understand?
She's jeering at the shadows
Sneering behind a smile
Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker
Into the face of the beguiled
Peek-A-Boo -- Peek-A-Boo
Golly jeepers
Where'd you get those peepers?
Peepshow, creepshow
Where did you get those eyes?
Strobe lights pump and flicker
Dry lips crack out for more
"Come bite on this rag doll, baby!
That's right now hit the floor"
They're sneaking out the back door
She gets up from all fours
Rhinestone fools and silver dollars
Curdle into bitter tears
Peek-A-Boo -- Peek-A-Boo
Golly jeepers
Where'd you get those weepers?
Peepshow, creepshow
Where did you get those eyes?

My Red Aro has been showing decreasing appetite for about a week now and is currently very spooked and is running is bursts of speed when someone comes near the tank.
He doesn't seem to be having any infection and I have just changed the water by 50% about 5 days ago.
Here's a video of him and I hope you guys can have a look to check if he is healthy. I have a doubt, both the gills seem to be having a red arc on them is this normal or is it a symptom of gill curling / turning.
Any advise to get him back to normal would be great guys.

How to resolve this error
After hours of research and trying different things this was eventually solved by
1./ Removing all the urls for webservice and report manager url in Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
2./ Manually editing the rsreportserver.config file and removing any entries between the [url] tags (there were some

3./ Restarting the SSRS service, and readding the URL's with a fresh port number ( I had already tried changing

This solved the issue.
