The Bee's Knees Cocktail was created in the prohibition era, and like many others was a way of masking the lower quality spirits of the day. While legitimate spirits were hard to come by, bathtub gin was common, as adding botanicals could cover rough edges.
Happily today we have more great quality gins than we know what to do with given the Ginassance in the UK and beyond. Rock Rose Gin has quickly cemented its place on back bars everywhere – due to the incredible quality of the liquid and the distinctive ceramic bottle. Distilled at the most northern mainland distillery in the UK at Dunnet's bay, Rock Rose Gin makes use of local botanicals and reflects its locality perfectly.

The Bee's Knees, like many prohibition cocktails was created to hide the poor quality spirits of the day. Happily now, when you make it with a great gin like Rock Rose Gin it elevates the drink to a whole other level! @rockrosegin @catalystplb #dunnetsbay #gin #honey #lemon #fresh #freshjuice #prohibition #cocktail #cocktails #speakeasy #milkandhoney #rockrosegin #scottishgin #scotland @vanguardbar #hiphopandhoney #classiccocktails #beesknees #mixology #mixologist #video
Working with Honey in Cocktails
Honey is a great choice as a natural sweetener for drinks, however it's not easy to use in its natural state – its sticky, doesn't dissolve easily and can leave a sticky mess in your shaker.
To make your honey more manageable, turn it into a honey syrup by mixing 3:1 with hot water. The heat will make the honey dissolve fully and pour more easily and the water added allows it to mix with alcoholic ingredients. Honey has such interesting and complex flavours that it can add to your cocktails that its worth the extra effort.
Back to the Bee's Knees Cocktail…
- 2oz (60ml) Rock Rose Gin
- 1oz (30ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1oz (30ml) 3:1 Honey Syrup
Shake and fine strain into a gin goblet over cubed ice. Garnish with a lemon twist, and if you can find them Rowan Berries and Sea buckthorn.
Serving a Bee's Knees on the rocks? While traditionally the classic is served straight up, many more mainstream consumers of gin are becoming used to the goblet serve. Many of the same would perhaps be intimidated by the short and boozy appearance of a coupe drink, so try this and watch the sales soar! Of course, if it suits your venue better go straight up, but I think you'll see better results in general over ice.

One of my cooking assignments for Thanksgiving this year was the cranberry relish. Although I liked the way it turned out, that is not the recipe I'm sharing with you; I was way more impressed with this one!
I ended up buying two bags of fresh cranberries when one bag was plenty for my relish...what to do with the extra bag of cranberries? Well, one snow day last week I saw a cooking segment on some morning show I can't remember becuase I wasn't really paying attention. All I remember is they made cranberry salsa and I said "What?! I have to make that!" Well, since I was only half-way paying attention I had to search for recipes for this...to which there are many variations. I read through several and came up with this one.
Cranberries are only available fresh from September to the end of the year, so make this salsa while you have the chance! Ok, I guess frozen cranberries would work too...but do you really eat cranberries any other time of the year? Maybe we should, since they have so many health benefits. Cranberries are rich in antioxidants, high in fiber, have anti-cancer properties, cholesterol benefits, and they can possibly even help prevent tooth decay! (First time I heard this one, so I'll have to look into it more). Click HERE to read more about colorful, wonderful cranberries.
We had our friends Tim and Staci over for dinner the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I made Taco Soup as I wanted to make something opposite from the food we had all been eating for the last three days. The Cranberry Salsa was a perfect compliment to the laid-back meal; south of the border meets healthy holiday fruit!
What you need:
- 1 (12) ounce bag cranberries (I used fresh)
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, rough chop (green part only)
- 2 jalepeno peppers, seeded and minced (depending on size and how spicy you like your salsa. I used 2 and it was very mild)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3/4 cup white sugar (I used 1/2 cup at first, and then added more until it tasted right. The sugar takes the tart out of the cranberries, but let it sit in the fridge at least a couple hours if not overnight before adding too much sugar. The flavors really blend to taste more "salsa-like" after a night haning out in the fridge together)
- Salt to taste
- Add all ingredients into a food processor.
- Mix until blended well, fine to medium consistency.
- Refrigerate at least a couple hours. It's edible right away, but pretty tart.

I have always wanted a road-side stand, and was so inspired to create something like this...{link here}
What fun!
This year, I am not sure what happened...I CANNOT grow lettuce.
Every attempt has failed.
I am lost....lettuce is THE easiest green to grow!
Most of the flowers in the garden were bought as starts from a local sale every year.
Gradually, they have either self-seeded, or I have divided the plants and planted in other spots.
I also have been gifted so many different flowers from neighbors who are willing to share.
{Back of the fenced garden.}
Off to the right of my enclosed garden is the row garden.
It's like going to the grocery store.
I take my bowl and fill it to the brim with vegetables for lunch and dinner.
It is lovely.
I always, always plant a huge row of zinnias.
They are just so cheery!
Today I found the first bloom!
In the back of my fenced garden I have an herb garden tucked between fruit trees, the chicken coop, and the raspberries.
She has quite the suntan and ruby red lips.
Maud sits at the edge of the garden...watching over things.
I let her roam just because :).

Google I/O 2012 kicked off yesterday with a bang, to be sure. Even after rounding up all of yesterday's news, there were still some things that can be better understood by listening to/watching the keynote speakers themselves (not to mention it was a pretty great show to watch). After all, yesterday saw a ton of news – from two new Nexus devices to the introduction of Android Jelly Bean, Google Glass, and updates to the Play Store and Google+.
As in years previous, the full keynote from day 1 is now available for your viewing pleasure through YouTube. Without further ado, Google I/O day 1 keynote:

Northern Territory Police are calling for calm in a remote Central Australia community where residents are in lockdown.
Police say up to 50 people are in the streets of Yuendumu, about 300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs, and many are armed.
Five cars have been set alight today and one house was also set on fire but police say those blazes have now been extinguished.
Police are patrolling the town and reinforcements from the Territory Response Section are travelling to the community.
Northern Territory Police have issued a public travel warning calling for motorists to delay their visit to the community until ongoing disturbances have been resolved.
"During the past 24 hours police have had to deal with numerous disturbances involving armed offenders," Acting Senior Sergeant Shaun Gill said.
"Many of these incidents are the result of ongoing family conflicts.
"However, the situation has recently been exacerbated by the death of a Yuendumu man and the subsequent arrest of two people in relation to that death."
He says groups of up to 50 people have been involved in fighting.
He says some of the people have been armed with sticks, iron bars, spears and nulla-nullas.
Up to five people have been injured as a result.
"No-one has yet been arrested but several of the offenders have been identified and will be dealt with during the course of the ongoing investigations into the disturbances."
The Northern Territory Education Union says teachers and students are inside the school building at Yuendumu.
The union's Central Australian representative Stephen Nimmo says he has confirmed they are safe.
"I understand that the school is in a lockdown situation," he said.
"The gates are locked, the staff are inside, they have a number of the kids inside the school."

Cebu is one of over seven thousand islands in the Republic of the Philippines. Cebu City is the provincial capital; the metropolitan area is second only to Manila in population. Measuring just 27 miles wide and 155 miles long, the island has four other cities and 48 smaller towns, with beach and resort activities nearby.
Mactan Island
The Marcelo Fernan and Osmena bridges span the Mactan Channel and connect Cebu City to Mactan Island. Mactun-Cebu International Airport (mciaa.gov.ph), just fifteen minutes from downtown Cebu City, is the country's second-busiest airport. Nicknamed the "diving mecca of the south," Mactan's beaches are on the island's east side. Among the numerous beachfront resorts are Cebu White Sands at Maribago Beach (whitesands.com.ph), the Cordova Reef Village Resort (cordovareef.com) and the Shangrila Mactan Island Resort and Spa (shangri-la.com). For a fee, unregistered guests can enjoy beach activities. Marigondon Beach, popular with local residents, is a public beach.
Hilutungan Island
Located in the Camotes Sea, Hilutungan Island is approximately five miles from Mactan Island. From the international airport to the port of Cordova is a 20-minute drive; the boat ride from there to the island takes an additional half hour. Accommodations at the Island and Sun Beach Resort (islandandsun.com) appear to be floating above the sea; the resort is built on stilts. The nearby Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary (olangowildlifesanctuary.org) has the largest population of migratory birds in the Philippines. Olango Reef draws guests looking to snorkel from Hilutungan's beach; at low tide, it is possible to walk to five coral islands.
Talisay City
Just south of Cebu City, Talisay is known as "the aqua city." In 1945, American military forces made a landing on Talisay's beach that ultimately led to the surrender of occupying Japanese forces. Mock reenactment battles are part of the annual festivities that commemorate the landing every March. Although its sand is not pure white, Larawan Beach is popular with locals. Food vendors and beach-side restaurants sell sweet potato snacks known as camote, ice drops, konsilba -- banana chips in syrup -- and mangoes.
Badian Island
Southwest of Cebu City on the Tanon Strait, Badian Island is home to the Badian Island Resort and Spa (badianhotel.com). From Cebu City, the island is reached by helicopter, a journey of approximately 25 minutes. Two white sand beaches are privately owned by the resort; the main beach is close to guest accommodations, while Coral Garden beach is a five-minute boat ride away. The resort's beachfront dive center is open year-round with instruction for scuba divers of all levels. Among the beach activities are volleyball and badminton, and guests can rent windsurfing boards and paddleboats.

text: Light Fashion–Playing it low-key in terms of color, the latest collection from New York-based label Nicholas K tapped into soft hues of camel, gray and blue for the spring/summer 2013 season. Adding leather and color blocking to their signature layers, a light wardrobe to unpack was revealed. While shorts, cuffed or cut straight made their appearance, semi-relaxed knitwear boasted a charming lived-in quality. A strong point of vision as usual, the brand's outerwear lineup furnished functional parkas, lightweight sports jackets and transitional pieces for a smart selection moving forth.

For pregnant women, taking omega-3s is more important than they might realize. Several new studies on omega-3s, pregnant moms, infants and young children, confirm the wide-ranging benefits of omega-3s from fish oil.
In a 12-year study, 1,770 kids whose genes or family history increased the risk for type 1 diabetes began taking omega-3s at 1 year old. After six years, kids who had higher omega-3 levels in the blood were 55% less likely to have type 1 diabetes than kids with lower omega-3 levels.
In another study of 135 moms, baby girls whose moms had taken 400 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) per day while pregnant had better eyesight at 2 months old than girls whose moms had taken a placebo. Boys and girls whose moms had a good balance between omega-6s and omega-3s had better vision than kids whose moms had higher omega-6 levels than omega-3. Doctors believe that the Western diet, which does not include enough fish, provides too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 essential fats.
Kids whose moms ate a cereal bar with 300 mg of DHA per day—29 moms starting at 24 weeks pregnant—solved problems better at 9 months old than kids whose moms had eaten a cereal bar without DHA.
Doctors measured the amount of DHA in the umbilical cord blood of over 300 newborns, then seven years later tested how well the children moved and controlled muscles. They found that kids born with higher DHA levels performed better than kids born with lower DHA levels.
Kids—64 of them—who took infant formula with fish oil for three months beginning at 9 months old had more mature immune systems than kids who had taken cow's milk or infant formula without fish oil.
Mothers—495 of them who had premature babies in the past—were less likely to do so again after taking 2.7 grams of omega-3s per day, starting at 20 weeks pregnant.

Vitamin D: Sunshine or Pills - What's the Difference?
There are very few reliable sources of vitamin D in the diet. Typical diets - even many rich in fresh, whole foods including fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats - contain less than 100 IU of vitamin D. Most vitamin D is made by exposure of the skin to the sun.
In today's world, many people are living with minimal exposure of naked skin to the mid day sun. It's wonderful that vitamin D supplements are an option for these people. Supplements, however, might have different effects on the body than sunshine. What if, for instance, high levels of vitamin D in the skin activate genes that signal other organs in the body to make more or less vitamin D receptors? In other words, what if excellent health requires significantly higher levels of vitamin D in the skin than in other organs? What if pills preferentially build vitamin D levels in organs other than the skin?
Not nearly enough is known about the details of vitamin D metabolism. Mainstream medicine has overseen the deterioration of the health of the nation. More and more Americans are taking prescription drugs at younger and younger ages. Poor health in middle age is common. Don't believe for a second that the epidemic of chronic health conditions in middle aged people is due to poor genes. Just look at any identical twin studies - there are huge differences in health outcomes based on behavior and the environment. The single most important behaviorial and environmental factors are ample micronutrients, sunshine, clean air, and clean water - the fundamentals of nutrition. Yet doctors more often are experts in drugs, not nutrition. The most important nutrients are vitamins A, B, C, and D - the extracts discovered in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to contain constituents vital for health. I recommend that everyone study what is known about vitamins A, B, C, and D, and then make sure to get plenty of each of them. I recommend regular supplements of vitamins B1, B3, and C. Vitamin D is best obtained by getting plenty of sunshine.
Many readers will have some responsibility for the care of children. Thanks to computers and organized activities, kids are spending more and more time inside. With the best of intentions, children are behaving in ways that produce less and less vitamin D from sun exposure. It's time for adults to really think this through. Children have played near naked in the sun for millions of years. Today's children have plenty of health problems. More and more are taking prescription drugs. Are you sure that lack of vitamin D isn't a partial cause? Are you sure that vitamin D supplements in milk and multivitamins provide all the health benefits of sunshine? I'm not - so I'm making sure that the kids in my care know to get plenty of sun.

Hidden away by steep mountains, the town of Seredo lies in Dragon Quest X: The Slumbering Hero And Sworn Guiding Ally's continent of Rendashia. When brave adventurers finally discover it, they find the strange oddness that is a town filled with nothing but children.
While the town is a picturesque jaunt, with multiple elevations to let everyone have a beautiful view, players will soon come across a destroyed church.
Its windows broken into and the entire roof and building in ruins, just what exactly caused this? The children… don't seem to want to say.
To get to the bottom of this—Scooby-Dooby-Dooooo style—you'll need to talk to children such as Rizerotta, the de facto leader of the town of Seredo. An audacious but determined girl, the children of Seredo have deep trust in her nonetheless. She has a mysterious familiar, Muchino, who follows her around as she keeps public order in the children's city.
Muchino's that strange satyr-like familiar. Summoned by magic, and able to cook any sweet in a jiffy, just what is his role here?
Fuuro is the previous priest's son, and a bit of a cowardly sort. While he's a childhood friend of Rizerotta and follows her faithfully, even putting himself in harms way when she thinks she's being threatened, he seems to be the only one who questions why the town is the way it is now…
If you want the answers, you'll have to make haste to the new continent once the expansion lands December 5th on PC, Wii and Wii U.

The treatment is quick – taking as little as 20 minutes to treat each eye – and pain-free. Anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb your eye, so no injections are needed.

Happy Monday!
So a couple of weeks ago, I asked a poll question on my Instagram stories on whether people would prefer an Amazon Prime finds try on or a Nordstrom one — and 77% of people said Amazon, so I spent some time finding my very favorite Amazon Prime finds. The most expensive ticket item being $33! They have great reviews, but now I can personally vouch for them. I really love my finds and feel like they're really nice quality and super fashionable. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend a ton of money to be fashionable/on trend/have some style 🙂 Some of the best finds are the steals!!
All of the items have both shipping AND free returns – so if the size or item doesn't work out, you can ship it back for free. I really abhor spending money on shipping… it really gets my goat! But maybe even more annoying is paying to send something back that I was hoping would work out. So it's great that all of these tops have free shipping and free returns!
First, I'll just round up the whole gang of outfits… Then I will break them down by each top. Just click the icon below each post to find the direct link to whatever item you're interested in.
I plan on sharing all of these on my instagram stories too, so you can see the try on's of all of these outfits there. I will save it on my highlights on my IG profile!
First off, this black tie waist henley is a knock off of the Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom version. I styled it three different ways so you can see some of the versatility of it. It is $21 and comes in 6 different colors (and a couple different styles). I'm wearing the size S and I normally wear XS and felt like if they had an XS, I would have ordered it, but felt totally ok in the S because this particular top doesn't need to be as fitted and looks cute loose too.
Next up is this amazing oversized sweater. I really didn't know if I would love this when I opened the package, if I'm being honest. But this is going to be a fall and winter staple for me for sure. It comes in 6 colors and is $33 – and I guarantee you that if this was sold at Nordstrom, it would be a $79 sweater, it's that nice. You can wear it off the shoulder too, but let's be honest – if you're cold, who wants to be wearing off the shoulder?! 😉 In the fall and even spring months, it would be really cute styled that way, though. I love how you can dress it up or down – the faux leather leggings and hat making it super cute for a date night and the sneakers making it more caz.
Alright, let's get real. I wasn't sure about needing this vest. I love buffalo plaid but didn't know if I'd see the value in this piece. But this is only $28 and much more versatile than I thought. Because of it being black and white, you could put any solid colored shirt underneath and make it work! Plus, I love the added warmth of this layering piece. AND it has POCKETS. So it's a major win.
Ok last, but most certainly NOT least… this fleece pullover. Oh my goodness, is this thing heavenly! It is SO warm but maybe the most cozy item of clothing I own. I want this in every color (and it comes in 6 of them). It's $26 and a knockoff of much more (like $80+) versions and it is great quality. It's also long enough in the back to wear with leggings (like you'll see in my second look). Could be my favorite of my Amazon Prime Finds!
So there you have it friends! My full Amazon Prime round up. I hope you found some good options for yourself and see that being fashionable CAN be affordable 😉
Have a great week!

How to Back Up Your TypePad Blog
If you've spent time crafting a blog on TypePad, backing it up can provide you peace of mind in case something happens and your content is lost. TypePad automatically backs up all of the blogs on its website on the company's servers. But you can also make use of TypePad's export functionality to back up your content on your own computer for safekeeping.
Log in to your TypePad account and click the "Settings" button.
Click "Import/Export" and scroll down until your reach the section labeled "Export."
Click the "Export" button. TypePad generates an export file containing the text of every blog entry you've ever written on the site. When the export file has been generated, a link pops up.
Right-click the link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As"; this text varies depending on which Web browser you're using.
Navigate to the desired save location on your computer and press the "Enter" button to save your backup file there.
- TypePad only lets you export the text portions of your blog entries. There is no automated way to back up your photos or page templates as of April 2012. The company recommends going through your posts one by one, right-clicking your images and saving them to your computer.
- Alternatively, in some Web browsers you can visit a Web page and click "File," "Save As" and then "Web Page Complete" to save a full copy on your computer of the current page you're viewing, including a folder containing all the images used on that page. You'd need to repeat this procedure for each blog post.

Wetin We Gain Singer, Victor AD ATTACKED By Armed Robbers In Shagamu
Nigerian singer, Victor Ad who is well known for hit song, 'wetin we gain,' was yesterday attacked by armed robbers around Shagamu, Ogun State.
He made this known on his Instagram page, where he narrated his ordeal at the hand of the robbers.
He wrote;
I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to God for the gift of life today,
Yesterday I had a close shave with death.
I was billed to hold a performance in Benin City, the airlines had to cancel the flight due to bad weather . My team and I decided to move by road
In order to catch up with the show based on the respect I have for my fans,
On my way around shagamu, robbers attacked us and this was very destabilizing.
My personal effects were forcefully taken from me while some of my team members and I ran into the bush, I can still remember the robbers shouting "shoot anyone you see" they left with my hype man ( whose wife Just gave birth to twins) who pleaded for his life, he was forced to use POS machines to make transfers to the deadly squad.
Above all my team and I are alive, and I am grateful to God for the grace of life!!! #prayforgracemagee🙏🙏

January 4, 2012
Following Ron Paul's suspicious third place finish in Iowa, Lew Rockwell posted remarks by Brad Funkhouser:
"I've been following Iowa GOP vote counts for a long time… They are being slow-walked… in 2012. Negotiations are going on… Cash is changing hands. Apparently GOP chieftains are 'persuading,' by one means or the other, Perry and Bachmann people who hold considerable sway over large blocs of votes to switch to Romney and Santorum – leaving Ron in the dust… Also abusing suddenly lax ID registration may have created many fake votes for neocons Santorum and Romney. Santorum has no organization, never drew over 100 people during his entire campaign. Of course he did bribe and received the benediction of of that 'family' leader who demanded 1 million dollars that were to be distributed in part to cronies. This is the biggest fraud since Kennedy stole the West Virginia Primary. Perry had built a pretty organization and was around 13% of the vote. He drew far larger crowds than Santorum and ends up with just 10%. Did those votes go. Santorum? Santorum didn't earn 24% of the vote."
In addition to irregularities in West Virginia, it was rumored that there was fraud in Kennedy's favor in Chicago — where the vote was controlled by Mayor Daley's political machine — and Texas where vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson was a senator.
Brad Friedman, usually astute on voting fraud matters, pointed out a number of "rules" not set by Iowa, but rather by the GOP establishment, including allowing voters to cast ballots without showing a photo ID.
On Tuesday, we warned that the GOP would try to fix the race in order to get rid of Paul. "Tonight's final vote tally for the Iowa caucuses will take place at a secret undisclosed location, an announcement that has stoked fears of vote fraud amongst Ron Paul supporters, concerns that were heightened following a Republican insider's claim that the GOP establishment will not allow Paul to win," Paul Joseph Watson wrote for Infowars.com.
The secret location was announced after Occupy threatened to disrupt the vote counting process.
In characteristic gentlemanly fashion, Paul told his supporters the third place finish is "nothing to be ashamed of" and prepared them for the New Hampshire contest.
"I think there's nothing to be ashamed of, everything to be satisfied, and be ready and raring to move on to the next stop, which is New Hampshire," he said.

Gillett earns Rovers point
Simon Gillett's well-taken second-half goal was enough to ensure Dean Saunders remains unbeaten as Doncaster manager as Hull were pegged back in a 1-1 draw at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Former Wales international Saunders was a whirlwind replacement for Sean O'Driscoll following his surprise sacking last week, and quickly oversaw a fortuitous 1-0 win over Crystal Palace that ended Rovers' 19-game winless streak.
They had looked like they were set for a return to type tonight, though, when England Under-21 striker Martyn Waghorn scored his first goal for Hull following a Neil Sullivan error to give the Tigers a deserved half-time lead.
But after some words from Saunders Rovers improved after the break and Gillett's goal ensured they avoided worsening the start they made to the 1997-98 season - a campaign that resulted in relegation from the Football League.
Going down would not have such dire implications this time around, but a four-point haul from Saunders' first two games in charge suggests they could soon be out of danger - especially if loan striker Jon Parkin continues to impress.
The former Hull man was hugely disappointing in the first half, but began to put his renowned burly frame to good use in the second and almost bullied Hull into conceding Gillett's goal - a strike he laid on in front of the watching Pascal Chimbonda, who is talking to Doncaster about a possible move.
The former Tottenham man will not have enjoyed the first 45 minutes, though, as Waghorn stole the show.
He scored 12 goals during a successful spell under Pearson at Leicester two seasons ago and, although the former Sunderland trainee had not netted for Hull prior to tonight, his form had been impressive, none more so than when scoring in back-to-back appearances for his country.
His confidence was evident early on here as he teed-up Robbie Brady for a shot Sullivan held, before he nearly opened the scoring in the 13th minute.
Tom Cairney's pass split Doncaster's pedestrian centre-half pairing of Shelton Martis and Richard Naylor and found Waghorn, whose shot through Sullivan's legs appeared to be easing over the line until James O'Connor appeared to clear it.
Doncaster were offering little, with James Coppinger having their two best chances of the opening half.
First he warmed Adriano Basso's palms with a low free-kick which caught the wall, before he failed to make the most of the space afforded to him after he latched on to George Friend's long ball.
Much of the passing game that Doncaster were known for under O'Driscoll was absent too and it was no more than Hull deserved when they took the lead just after the halfway point of the opening half.
Fryatt's run took him past O'Connor and, after Sullivan failed to take his cross, Waghorn's run into the box allowed him to bundle the unexpectedly loose ball into an open net.
Neither side went close to scoring for the rest of the half, but Hull could twice have added a second early after the break had the lively Brady produced a better final ball after spinning Friend.
Until that point, Parkin had struggled up front in his second came for the home side, but finally imposed himself on the game in the 57th minute.
The home side had hardly been building pressure, but when Parkin nodded Friend's cross across the six-yard box, Gillett was waiting to drill a precise effort beyond Basso and level the scores.
Hull's defence - one of the meanest in the league with just six goals conceded before tonight - was now looking ruffled, especially by Parkin, who nearly played in substitute Billy Sharp and was then booked for taking the wind out of Joe Dudgeon.
Parkin's lob then gave Basso a routine save under his bar minutes after Brady's feet worked himself an opening that he failed to take, but despite a number of loose balls bouncing in both boxes, there were no more chances of note.

Norstedts, 2012.
Reviewed by Željka Černok in SBR 2013:1
Review Section: Faction
'I suppose I shall have to live with your tragic and self-centred ego for the rest of my life' – this is how the first letter in the book starts, written by a father to his son. The son is the author of the book, and the father is John Peter Daniels, a notorious swindler. Daniels became known in Sweden as the 'Swindler Priest', because he almost managed to cheat Swedish church officials out of enormous amounts of money and was tried for it in the mid-1980s.
In narrative flashbacks, based on court documents and letters, Motturi paints a fascinating picture of a conman who has bluffed his way through life – a man who reinvented himself at every opportunity, changed names, converted, constantly settling at different places all over the world and leaving a trail of wives and children behind. He misled every likely victim, i.e. practically everyone who became intrigued by his lavish lifestyle and was wealthy and greedy enough to invest in his shady deals.
The father is fascinating and so mysterious that when, at the beginning of the book, the son gets the news that he died in a prison in India, he almost cannot believe it. This is a man who has disappeared many times before, always after promising he would never do it again, and usually re-appearing years later with a new name and a new passport. This is the father who sent fantastic presents to his children and paid for them to visit him in exotic locations, but took no notice when his family was evicted from their flat. His letters give him scope to display his mood swings, self-righteousness and self-pity. He would curse his son in one letter and claim eternal love in another. One day he insists that he wants to live with God and without material possessions, the next day he asks his son to send him a pen to write his memoirs with – 'not a ball-point pen though, but a proper, expensive one.'
The author is not trying to find excuses for his father. He is struggling to explain his father's actions even to himself, struggling to understand him, to forgive him. But however hard the son and the reader try to make sense of it all, lots of unanswered questions remain. The style is rich and the pictures he paints feel real – the father´s escapades in India, Africa, Canada and Europe, the people he associated with, the author´s many brothers and sisters and their ways of dealing with this ever-disappearing father and notoriously colourful character. His neighbours often admired him, despite known oddities: he once wrote a letter from prison to the Queen, complaining in great detail about the food and asking her (not her husband, whom he considered a bit of a cheapskate) to send him leftovers from the royal meals. In one interview the author says that he saw himself as his father´s secretary, but a secretary who wrote the whole story down in a way his father would not approve of.
Don´t be put off by the prologue which is written in a florid style and really should have been left out. Just dive right into it and try to make sense of this man. Even as a fictional character he would be fascinating. But he was real.

Lawsuit: George Brett Falsely Advertises Necklaces
Seth Thompson Claims He Never Received Touted Benefits From Necklaces
Lawyers are seeking class-action status for a lawsuit that claims Hall of Fame slugger George Brett has been falsely advertising necklaces and bracelets as being able to help improve health and sports performance.
A lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Des Moines claims Spokane Valley, Wash.-based Brett Bros. Sports International, Inc. has falsely claimed its Ionic Necklaces help customers relieve pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back, recover from sports fatigue and improve focus. The company has also falsely claimed its bracelets, which include two roller magnets, would relieve wrist, hand and elbow pain, the lawsuit said.
Brett, who was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1999 after a 21-year career with the Kansas City Royals, has been president of the company since 2001 and appears in its advertisements.
The claims appeared on the company's website from 2008 to 2010, and still appear on the packaging of the products and on the websites of its distributors, according to the lawsuit.
"Most consumers, when reading these claims, and seeing the products endorsed by a high-profile baseball player, assume that these products have the health benefits that are marketed and advertised and that scientifically significant research supports statements made by Brett Bros, when in fact that is not the case," reads the lawsuit, which alleges the company has violated the state Consumer Frauds Act and been unjustly enriched.

The lawsuit says an Iowa man, Seth Thompson of Adel, bought one of the necklaces for $30 at the College World Series in Omaha last year after reading Brett's endorsement of them. He hoped the product would reduce stress and fatigue and boost his energy and concentration, but none of those benefits were realized, rendering the product "useless to him," the lawsuit says.
His lawyers, who include Bart Goplerud of West Des Moines and two firms in Los Angeles, are asking a federal judge to approve a class-action lawsuit on behalf of thousands of customers who have bought the products in the last four years. Total damages "are likely in the millions of dollars," the lawsuit says.
A representative of Brett Bros, which also sells baseball accessories such as bats and baseballs, did not immediately return an inquiry seeking comment. KMBC's Karen Kornacki talked to Brett by phone Tuesday. He said he had not heard about the lawsuit. He later called back to say that his partners had been served papers and they asked him to avoid making any public comments about it.
Brett, 58, retired from baseball in 1993 after accumulating 3,154 hits and 317 home runs, winning three batting titles and making 13 All-Star teams.

The Other Edge of the Coding Accuracy Sword
by Rodger Smith in Payment Integrity
It's hard to fit the complexities of a neonate in intensive care into a box. Especially the seven boxes that are available through the legacy diagnosis related group (DRG) classification system developed for Medicare.
The DRGs developed primarily for the elderly simply don't offer the granularity needed to describe the complex conditions treated and care offered to the most premature babies, who can vary materially in their acuity and risk. The same was true in other areas, particularly for demographics different than Medicare, particularly the poor, who rely on Medicaid for their care. Medical professionals pointed out for years that, because each individual MS-DRG cover such a broad spectrum of patients and care, they don't really draw distinctions among certain populations, including newborns, with varying levels of risk. They noted that one unintended result is that they received reimbursement that did not align well with the true cost of the care they provided.
Enter All Patient Refined (APR)-DRGs. Instead of just seven "boxes" for newborns, APR-DRGs offer 28. As such, they make it possible for provider organizations to reflect the details of their patients' needs and risks much more accurately. The good news is they offer plenty of opportunity to get it right – making it possible to code for additional complexity and more accurate reimbursement. On the other edge of the sword, in a cash strapped world of hospitals with declining bed days and nursing shortages that increase staffing costs, they offer plenty of opportunity to get it wrong – paying for a higher level of care than actually rendered.
In this world, health plans need to deploy advanced analytics to ensure that provider organizations are not making the following mistakes:
#1: Failing to reflect lower levels of care as the episode progresses
It is not uncommon for neonatal patients to receive a high level of care initially and make vast improvements as they grow to more natural size and weight. In such circumstances, the baby is typically "stepped" down to less intense care, and possibly even moved to a different unit within the facility. At times, however, providers can neglect to account for this improvement and continue to code as though the higher level of care is still being rendered.
#2: Coding incorrectly based on included conditions
There are times a baby has a certain condition that includes various other things by its very nature. A baby might be small for his gestational age – which the facility correctly reflects in the claim. However, the provider organization may also code for malnutrition. However, small babies by definition have some malnutrition. Unless the infant is malnourished beyond what is typical for the baby's small size, that code is inaccurate, which is problematic as it can increase the acuity level for the claim.
#3: Confusing testing with treating
Sometimes, a provider might be concerned that a baby could have a certain condition - such as SEPSIS. They appropriately evaluate the patient for the condition through various tests. This is completely normal and appropriate. The problem arises when they code for the condition – even if the tests ruled the condition out. They should only code for the condition if the tests confirm that it is present.
These are some of the inaccuracies that health plans can uncover with analytics. Can you identify any others?

DUBAI, UAE, October 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side") and George Clooney ("Syriana") star in "Gravity," a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón ("Children of Men").
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131007/643401 )
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
"Gravity" was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films). Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers.
"Gravity" will open in UAE cinemas on October 17th, 2013 in IMAX® 3D, 3D & 2D.

Redistributing Work: Solutions to the paradox of overwork and unemployment in Australia
At a time of high and chronic unemployment, Australia is also faced with a crisis of overwork. Work-related stress and illness have been intensifying while the social problems associated with mass unemployment multiply. There are a number of flexible work schemes operating or under negotiation in Australia, but so far they affect very few employees. This paper argues that overcoming the problems of unemployment and overwork requires a new approach to flexibility in the workplace and a rethinking of the relationship between paid work and other aspects of our lives. It proposes three approaches to redistributing work in Australia.

An Elephant Died So The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Could Have Elephant Leather Seats
I want to start by saying that any animals bred for food are not endangered- like chicken and cattle. But the elephant is not bred for food, and it is endangered. In fact, according to the World Wildlife Fund, 3 species of elephant are classified as vulnerable, 3 are endangered, and 1 is critically endangered.
That being said, Carlex Design had the brilliant idea to use elephant leather for its seats on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Carlex Design received a number complaints about this news and has even changed their website since others have reported on the topic. Here is an image before:
(via Cached View).
And here is the Carlex Design website for the elephant skin Dodge Challenger Hellcat after:
And as an added bonus, you can also get Shark skin.
Finally, Carlex Design gives an explanation:
"On behalf of Carlex Design company We would like to inform you that all the leathers used by Carlex Design in car interiors' implementations possess all necessary and required by law certificates. Especially when it comes to the leathers sourced from animals not considered as farmed, each and every supplier that cooperates with Carlex Design is required to provide appropriate paperwork to certify their origin based on the applicable European law regulations."
It's admirable that the paperwork is approved and legitimate, but it's still skin of an elephant on their seats.
Carlex Design has issued the following statement on Facebook.

Nineteen months old. So hard to believe. You've entered the wildfire age of toddlerhood, where you grow by leaps and bound seemingly every day. This week you discovered the thrill of momentary flight, hurling yourself repeatedly off of the couch into Daddy's waiting arms...and attempting the same tricks when he wasn't quite ready for the catch. And this week we discovered that you don't so much enjoy taking turns with your sister (not surprised) and that you can count to ten (completely shocked).
And tonight...oh tonight. My favorite moment of the whole week. When I laid you down in your crib, sleepy-eyed but still awake, I covered you with your favorite fuzzy green blanket and stood there a moment, leaning over to gently rub your tummy and return your big smile. After a moment I let my hand just rest on your chest, feeling the gentle up and down of your breathing. And then I felt your two little hands grasp two of my fingers, continuing the circular motion of the tummy massage. And so I stayed a minute more, gazing down at you as you gazed up at me. It was one of the occasions I've had so far as a parent where I suddenly knew without a doubt that I was to savor this moment. That I'll look back on this night as I dissolve into a sentimental puddle on your first day of school. That I'll remember it wistfully when you're fifteen years old. That I'll tell you about it someday when you're all grown up, causing you to smile, shake your head, and say, "Oh, mom."
Finally, I gave you a little pat.
"Night night, Bubba."
"Nah Nah"
"I love you."
"luh loo"
Melt my heart, why don't you. My sweet, crazy little boy. You seem more grown up to me all the time. So for now, I'll treasure these days when you love puppies and bunnies and "choo choos" and Barney and platefuls of cheese and blueberries and reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear 14,367 times a day. When you think your big sister is the coolest thing ever and follow her around all day long, preferably wearing her shoes and jewelry. When you announce the people you love every single time they enter a room. When you dance your heart out to the Wiggles and sing everything to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. When you charm friends, family, and total strangers with that big, mischievous grin.
I love you.

Introducing Maria Hansen
With Wish Upon a Southern Star soon to be launched in September, it is my pleasure to introduce you in advance to each of the contributing authors and to give you a taste of their work.
Today, meet Maria Hansen and find out about her story,
"The Tree."
Maria Hansen lives in Christchurch, New Zealand where she has a demanding job as a mediator and writes in her spare time. She writes children's stories, short stories and is working on several novels. Fables and fairy tales are her favourite genre with their simple elegant language and connection with nature.
Maria has a BA in English from Massey University and studied at the Hagley Writers' Institute. She has been published in takahē magazine and in 2015 her book, Isobel's Garden (Lift Publications), was given as a gift to Prince Harry to take back to England to his little niece, Princess Charlotte.
A Conversation with Maria
1) Maria, why do you write?
It's a way to put observations and themes into a coherent form and as with any creative expression, it makes me happy!
2) Why do you think fairy tales remain relevant today?
Some ideas are simplistic and the language dated, but good and evil characters and moral dilemmas will always be relevant in fiction.
3) What was your favourite fairy tale as a child? Why did you like it so much then and is it still a favourite or has it been replaced and why?
Hansel and Gretel. For the images really, the dark forest, the row of pebbles like lights on a runway, and the gingerbread house with all the coloured treats.
4) What is your favourite fairy tale retelling by another author? Why is it a favourite?
I've never read a retelling. I don't remember reading anything other than original fairy tales as a child. More recently I've beenreading the fables of Oscar Wilde. I do not know if they are retellings of originals, but I love the poetic language and his personification of nature.
5) Can you tell us a little about your retold fairy tale?
I was walking in a park and thinking how plants trees and animals appear to us to accept the natural flow of life. My story explores that question. However essentially it is a story about those who support us whether in the human realm or beyond.
A taste of Maria's story...
It was spring and all over the land new growth was appearing. Flowers poked their heads above the cool grass and lambs were jumping in the paddocks. The fruit trees were blossoming, in soft shades of pink and white that filled the air with sweet fragrance. All, that is, except for one little tree. His branches were bare as if it was still winter.
"Why have you no blossoms yet?" said a tiny voice that seemed to come from the sky.
"Who said that?" said the tree.
Just then a brown bird fluttered down and settled on a low branch. "I did," said the bird.
"Birds can't talk to trees," said the tree.
"We can if we choose," she said.
"But why have I never heard you before?"
"There has been no need to speak before," the bird said. She flapped her wings and hovered in the air.
"What was it you said?" the tree asked.
"I asked why you had no blossoms out yet."
"I don't think I will flower this year. My blossoms are small, smaller than the other trees and they do not smell as sweet."

Serial killers aren't just found lurking in the truck stops of America. We've had our fair share in the UK. One of the most notorious is Peter Sutcliffe - better known as the Yorkshire Ripper. He killed 13 and attempted to kill at least 7 others, but they survived...
West Yorkshire was gripped with terror in the late 1970s as a vicious serial killer roamed the streets. The secret sicko was looking for women – usually sex workers, he could bludgeon and stab to death. That killer was lorry driver Peter Sutcliffe. Between 1975 and his eventual capture, in 1981, he murdered 13 women, and attempted to kill 7 others.
Among his first victims were Anna Rogulskyj and Olive Smelt, who he attacked in the summer of 1975. Both were struck from behind with a hammer, then slashed with a knife. In both cases, Sutcliffe's attack was disturbed by the sound of someone nearby, leaving the victims with their lives, but deeply traumatised. Rogulskyj needed extensive surgery, and Smelt suffered clinical depression as a result.
Sadly, Sutcliffe claimed his first life in October 1975, followed by a second in January 1976.
He waited until May 1976 to strike again – this time attacking 20-year-old Marcella Claxton in Leeds. Walking home from a party she accepted a lift from Sutcliffe. Four months pregnant, Claxton desperately needed a wee, and got Sutcliffe to stop the car. But when she clambered out, he hit her from behind 8 or 9 times with a hammer. Unusually for Sutcliffe, he didn't stab the victim to make sure she was dead. And, indeed, Marcella wasn't. She survived the horrific attack, but sadly her baby didn't. The ferocity of the hammer blows causing her to suffer a miscarriage. Claxton was left severely traumatised, but managed to testify against Sutcliffe at his 1981 trial, where he was sentenced to 20 concurrent life sentences.
Four other victims survived attacks by Sutcliffe, but the psychological impact of what he did cannot be underestimated.
While he has spent most of his sentence in Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1984, Sutcliffe was declared to no longer be mentally ill in December 2015, and in August 2016 he was reported to have been transferred from Broadmoor to Frankland Prison in Durham. However, due to his whole life tariff, he will never be released.

Class 1: Vouchers - non-cash vouchers - calculation of the amount of earnings - the chargeable expense - meal vouchers which can be exchanged only for a meal costing more than 15 pence
Paragraph 14(3)(b) of Schedule 2 Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 2001
NIM02467 explains the general rule for calculating the amount of a non-cash voucher to be included in an employee's earnings. That rule is modified for a meal voucher which can be exchanged only for a meal costing more than 15 pence.
The chargeable expense is reduced by the amount by which it exceeds the face value of the voucher.
A meal voucher has a face value of £2.00. The cost to the employer of providing the voucher is £2.25. The employee does not make good any part of the cost.
The amount of earnings is £2.25 less £0.25 (the amount by which the chargeable expense exceeds the face value of the voucher) = £2.00.

After many months of not having a place of our own, and after a few months of work, River City Church finally has a place to call our own. It's been quite a ride to get here and we've learned a few things along the way:
- Things always take longer than what you expect. From finding a location to getting a lease to getting the work done, everything took a lot longer than what I had hoped for.
- God's timing is always perfect. If I had it my way, I would have had a place two years ago. God's plans are always better than ours.
- Notice the title: "A place to meet" and not "a new church." River City was a church before it had a permanent meeting location. A physical church building shouldn't be confused with a Biblical church.
- That being said (#3 above), a building is a very useful ministry tool. It's only been a couple of weeks, but we already see how things go much more smoothly when you don't have to pack everything into storage tubs.
It's been a lot of work, but River City Church is not "complete" now that we have a place to meet. This is just the beginning. We will continue to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ who will mature and multiply through gospel-focused worship, gospel-formed community, and gospel-fueled service. That's the mission that God has called us to.
As we continue on this journey we invite you to celebrate with us, and pray for God to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine for His glory in our city.

How's a Black Kid to Feel?
For myself, growing up in New Orleans, I didn't know what overt racism was. For the record, I have had white teachers. Homegrown, but white nonetheless, and they served as my only frame of reference of white people. It wasn't until I traveled 45 minutes North to Hammond, LA for college at Southeastern University that I experienced first hand what racism truly looked like. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was an enlightening experience, but things settled and I moved forward. Then, fast forward to eight years later to July 13, 2013 – it was the beginning of me becoming overwhelmed.
One month before the birth of my son, my black son, I sat, fixated on my television. Troubled. Anxiously anticipating the verdict of the Trayvon Martin's accused murderer. I'd assumed things were different, so there was no reason his accuser wouldn't be held responsible for murdering an innocent young boy right? "NOT GUILTY."
The heartbreak, fear, anger, and confusion I felt in that very moment remains impossible to capture in words. I remember holding my pregnant belly and feeling pain and feeling empathy for his parents and all parents who would now be a little more afraid their black sons may not make it home to them each night. Unfortunately, stories of black lives cut short and/or being reduced to worthlessness are becoming all too common now.
I grow weary watching the news. I grow angry watching the injustices and anticipating the next breaking news alert, the next mother wrapped in grief during a press conference, the next high profile bigot brought onto a national network to debate controversial views for ratings, and worst of all, the mindless and insensitive rants and raves of #45 (whom I refuse to acknowledge as president) blasting across my television and my social media accounts.
I grow concerned for what our children perceive and understand to be normal.
- Do they even understand what is taking place in the world they exist in? (Most of my high school students are more concerned with which girls like them and Lil Uzi Vert.)
- Should we continue to shield them (keep them ignorant) to protect them?
- Should we enlighten and expose them to protect them?
Interestingly, I know my white educator colleagues feel pressure during these times to do no harm, but the irony is I feel it even more. How do I keep up the act of reminding my students they are beautiful, intelligent and worthwhile, when I am feeling worn down? I don't have the answers, but for now and more than ever, I'm motivated to strengthen my faith so when tasked with having to provide an explanation, I can continue to spread love and help them believe that despite the current and unfortunate events taking place, they do matter.

Des Moines, Iowa – Winter may be making a very timely arrival later this week. The winter solstice will occur at 10:28 A-M Central Time on Thursday and forecasters say Iowa may see snow fly about that same time as much colder weather arrives, as if on cue. Meteorologist Cory Martin, at the National Weather Service, says they're tracking a storm system that will be moving across the Northern Plains in the Thursday-Friday time-frame.
Since it's still several days away, forecasters are shying away from predicting just how much snow will fall and where, though Martin says it's likely most of central and southern Iowa will see little-to-no accumulation.
With the Christmas holiday coming up, there will be plenty of motorists on the roads later this week. Martin says the state's main east-west corridor may be wet but it shouldn't be white.
Another travel hazard on Thursday and Friday could be strong, gusty winds.

Shack housing (Keetwonen) Amsterdam student housing
"Keetwonen"( = living in a shack ) is the name of the biggest container city in the world. Still today this is unique project. Living in a converted shipping container was a new concept in the Netherlands when launched by Tempohousing, but the city of Amsterdam took the courageous step to contract Tempohousing to go and realize it. It turned out to be a big success among students in Amsterdam and it is now the second most popular student dormitory offered in Amsterdam. The initial fears of some people that the container homeswould be too small, too noisy, too cold or too hot, are all not correct: : they turned out to be spacious, quiet and well insulated and certainly offer value for money, compared to other student homes in the city. They also come complete with amenities often missing in other student dormitories: your own bathroom and kitchen, balcony, separate sleeping and study room, large windows that provide daylight and a view and even an automatic ventilation system with variable speeds. The heating is from a central natural gas boiler system. The hot water for the shower is supplied by one 50 liter tank per home and a high speed internet connection is included, as well as a central audio phone system for visitors at the main door downstairs. The whole project was designed with an eye on how students like to live: a place for yourself, not having to share the shower and the toilet with strangers, but at the same time lots of possibilities to participate in the social life of the dormitory, including the many parties that come with being a student. The blocks have a closed off internal area for safe bicycle parking. Although the project was initially meant to only stay on this site for 5 years (and to be relocated after that – container homes are ideal for that, you move and you take your house with you!), it is recently decided that the project will be dismantled in December 2016. The project started at the end of 2005 (first 60 homes commissioned) and was completed mid 2006.
Shack housing project for sale!
The project is now put up for sale! The city of Amsterdam terminated the land lease. The containerhomes of this project will be sold per building or as a whole. In total 1000 student homes are for sale and they are available for pick up in January 2018. Go to www.keetwonenforsale.com for more information.
For students:
Are you currently studying, or planning on studying in the area of Amsterdam and are you looking for a room or house? Tempohousing is not responsible for the rental of the student housing. For rental options, go to www.studentenwoningweb.nl

Succession planning is a major factor for most family businesses. Conmor Cranes Pty Ltd was no exception. Tom and Hugh Morris have been involved for over 40 years as the third generation of a successful family crane hire and construction business in Melbourne.
Conmor Cranes Pty Ltd is synonymous with large construction projects around Melbourne such as the Melbourne Tennis Centre, major alterations to the Church Street Bridge and even the placement and lifting of portable turf pitches at the MCG. They have been a client of Saward Dawson for many years and Cliff Dawson has been advising the Morris family since 1984 on their total business requirements.
Over time, a strong professional relationship has developed which has been founded on trust and the willingness to work together. They have dealt with the many complexities of running a business in what is a volatile and, at times, difficult industry.
Succession planning for Conmor Cranes Pty Ltd became a critical issue in recent years as Tom and Hugh faced the dilemma of planning for their retirement without a further generation of the Morris family to take over the reins. How do you unlock a lifetime of involvement and wealth tied up in a family business? Cliff commenced a process of strategic planning and in conjunction with the Morris' developed strategies and a timetable for the possible sale of the business.
Cliff helped Tom and Hugh refocus on a core business plan and get the business ready for sale. Cliff handled the confidential marketing of the business and, through a lengthy process, filtered many enquiries and approaches.
A successful sale was negotiated with Boom Logistics Ltd, which was planning a share market listing for a national lifting solutions group. Cliff represented the Morris' in the negotiations and helped to broker a successful outcome for the Morris family. Not only have the Morris' achieved an effective outcome for their lifetime of involvement in the business, they now have an ongoing interest in the recent successful share market listing of Boom Logistics Ltd.
Tom and Hugh would concur that all family businesses need an appropriate exit strategy for the family owners. It is critical to plan well in advance and Saward Dawson are able to work with business owners to develop and implement succession planning strategies.

Just like men often enjoy dating younger women, women too sometimes like to date younger men. Younger men bring out the fun and jubilant side of older women, who are often successful and physically fit. But flirting with younger men requires a few skills and tips so an older women can unlock her sensuality and be alluring to those desirable young guys.
To catch the attention of a younger man, taking care of your appearance is vital. Not only will you have to stay in good shape by exercise, but you should wear flattering clothing that makes you feel confident and attractive to younger men. Older women are often more self-assured than younger women, and can pull off flirty fashions with ease.
For a woman to attract a young man, there are certain gestures which make a lasting impact. Maintain eye contact. Giving the guy playful and lusty hints with your eyes is the most effective tool for flirting. Also try flipping your hair and twirling it around your finger, or tucking the hair behind your ears. This catches the guys' attention. You should also maintain a soft smile and giggle when needed. A smile can be sweet, yet seductive for men, and laughter can break awkward silences. Use the touch of your hand to brush him lightly while laughing. This move will send tingles up his spine!
A young guy is attracted to the confidence that an older woman has about herself. So stop second-guessing your moves or being self conscious around him to be more appealing. Mix your inner confidence with some humor and wit to draw the man even closer.
Do not bore him with your past stories about your ex, job issues or your children. Tell him stories which show your funny side, or your intelligence. But make sure you give him a chance to talk! Listen to him and show an interest in whatever he has to share with you.
Younger men fear dating older women because they do not want to be mothered by them. They already have one mom, which can be a handful for them! Avoid nagging the young man and show him that you feel secure. Don't offer to help him with "mom-like" chores such as laundry or housework.
Always admire who he is by showing him that he is interesting and stimulating company. You should not make him feel less intelligent or inferior to you. Instead, make him realize that he is special and important to you. Value his perspective as a younger person.
A younger man will be attracted to an older woman mainly due to her past experiences in relationships, which have made her wiser and stronger. Your past relationships — good and bad — will come in handy as they will help you show younger men that you are more sure of yourself.
