|VickieTern's Biography:
|Some words from VickieTern:
I have written many femdom TG stories, most of them affirming female cleverness and wit (never naivete), and male earnestness if not also often credulity. Thus they often or always deal with both "crossdressers" and "loving wives" (as the euphemism puts it). Odd, because my current marital partner is still my first, after many decades, and we are both straight and monogamous. Go figure. All of my stories can be found on www.fictionmania.tv, and with sloth the only reason why not, I hope to copy them all to this site eventually.
I've worked with narrative fictions and literature all my life, as an editor, critic, professor, and scholar, and am especially pleased in retirement to enjoy a newfound pleasure in creating the stuff.

Not Just for Kids
July 18-24, 2002
Primary Colors
Creamy cold Vanilla, smooth icy chocolate: the stuff of summer daydreams. The tinkle of the Good Humor truck tune lingers in every childs ear like a mirage in hot afternoons. This is ice cream season.
Ice cream has been an essential element of American summers for over 150 years. But you couldnt always get your ice cream from aisle 9 of the nearest grocery store. Before 1851, when Jacob Fussell opened the first ice cream factory in Baltimore, everyone made ice cream at home! People put ice cream mixes into special salt-and-ice-bowls and shook it till it froze. Or they used hand-crank ice cream freezers, stirring the ice cream instead of shaking it.
I said that ice cream has been an essential part of American summers for 150 years. Ice cream itself is much older than that! Almost 2000 ago, the Roman Emperor Nero loved to eat fresh snow from the mountains mixed with honey or juice. In the 1200s, Marco Polo brought from China recipes for milk-and-ice dishes, like the sorbets of today. He reported the Chinese had been eating these desserts for thousands of years!
These days, we dont have to climb mountains, travel to China or hand-crank an ice cream freezer to get the taste of the sweet, creamy ice. Food stores, ice cream stands and Good Humor trucks make ice cream accessible to everyone. With such tasty stuff so easy to reach, it is no wonder each American eats an average of 15 quarts of ice cream every year! Most of it is chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I like mint chocolate chip. Or cookies and cream. Or a nice vanilla sundae with hot fudge and whipped cream and a cherry. You get the idea. Ice cream. Have a sweet summer.
Cone Creation
Story I:
IN 1903 New York City, Italo Marchiony sold edible waffle dishes at his Wall Street ice cream stand.
Story II:
DURING the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition (or Worlds Fair) in St. Louis, an ice cream vendor who ran out of cups teamed up with a next-door pastry maker. They used zambia, a Syrian wafer-dessert, for cups.
Making Ice Cream. Playing Catch. Two Summer Classics in One Sweet Activity
Take a small bag and fill it with:
Place the mixture within a bigger bag filled with lots of ice and rock salt. Make sure both bags are sealed tightly with strong tape. Wrap and tape a towel around the bundle.
Find a friend and play catch with your new ice-cream-maker/ball. In about a half-hour, the cream in the inner bag should be the consistency of soft serve. Its ready to eat. Be sure to share with your catching buddy!

If your car is covered in a dusty film and you're sneezing more than usual, you're not alone: The recent spring-like weather has driven up the local pollen count, causing allergies and allergy-like symptoms in many people, experts say.
If your car is covered in a dusty film and you're sneezing more than usual, you're not alone: The recent spring-like weather has driven up the local pollen count, causing allergies and allergy-like symptoms in many people, experts say.
"We have certainly seen more patients with increased allergy symptoms — earlier than previous years," said Dr. Mercedes Pernice, an allergist with Southeastern Allergy and Asthma Specialists in Gainesville and Lake City.
Pernice said that in the past couple of weeks, people have come in with sneezing, running noses, itchy palettes, coughing and wheezing — symptoms that normally emerge in late February, with the arrival of spring.
But the 80-degree temperatures have sped up the allergy season, with the early blooming of trees and flowers. Since this coincides with the flu season, it's important to distinguish flu symptoms from allergies, Pernice said.
"Since December, we've had a lot of patients with asthma come in, and they thought it was allergies, and they really had the flu, even if they already had the vaccine."
Unlike allergies, the flu usually causes a high fever, chills and body aches, she added.
It is also important to distinguish people who suffer from allergies and those who are merely sensitive to the high pollen count in the air, Pernice said.
"When the pollen rises, it has an irritant effect in people with a lot of sensitivities to a lot of things."
Children especially might develop a rhinovirus, an infection in the nose that causes the common cold, said Dr. Shih-Wen Huang, a pediatric allergist at Shands at the University of Florida. Huang said children in day care or nursery schools are particularly prone to the 120 sub-strains of the virus, which are contagious.
"Transmission is very high and often comes when the cold season is not over yet and the warm weather arrives early," Huang said, adding that most people get some form of the virus since there are so many strains. So when the pollen count is high, they have symptoms such as a cough or a runny nose, he said.
You can treat the viruses the same way you treat an allergy, with good hygiene — hand washing and showers — by staying hydrated, and in some cases, using an antihistamine, Huang said.
Allergy sufferers additionally will have itchy eyes and sneezing spells that fluctuate with the pollen levels, and they should take even stricter hygiene measures, making sure they wash their hair daily and reduce outdoor activity, Huang said.
"The worst scenario is that the kids come straight home, go straight to their bedroom, lay on their bed and contaminate their whole bedroom. You have to educate their parents so that the kids come home and remove their clothes immediately and take a shower immediately and change clothes at least to minimize the problem."
Huang said the only reprieve from the high pollen count would be a rain to wash the pollen away. Rain is forecast for later this week and over the weekend.

Victorian IIIB - nominated for Best Large Building at Brickworld 2012. It is over 33" tall and includes more than 17,000 pieces.
About this creation
This Victorian was built on commission. While starting out as a simple re-build of Victorian III using medium blue rather than sand blue, the changes and developments multiplied until it became a unique creation inspired by the same
Stick-Eastlake Victorian in San Francisco, California
I have had a number of inquiries about the availability of instructions for my Victorians, so I did a presentation at Brickworld 2012 on my construction methods and why there will never be printed instructions :-)
This presentation (originally in PowerPoint) has been converted to jpegs and posted on my web site:
The Building of Victorian IIIB
I apologize for the fact that only a few of the pics were taken after the building was complete and the rest while it was still under construction, so there are some rough edges.
I learned a lot about SNOT techniques on this build, and got those base window trim pieces not only looking like I wanted, but attached securely!
The whole top floor/attic is a LEGO building/play room. In one corner is a child-sized castle play room. I wish I'd had something like that when *I* was a kid!
Victorian IIIB was built for display, but it doubles as a doll house. I had to look outside of LEGO to find a doll the right scale. That doll and the two dogs shown are the only non-LEGO elements included.
Here it is photographed next to the Fire Brigade modular building set in order to show the difference in scale. I included a standard minifig and a Belville fig on the porch to show that even the Belville fig is too small.
There's a fountain in the back yard, visible from the living room through the sliding patio doors, and from the patio swing (see next pic).
A second view of the back porch/patio area before the landscaping was done, but showing the porch swing.
The chair is fully reclinable :-)
It took a couple of tries to get the sweeping staircase down into the living room that I wanted.
Includes a claw-footed bathtub :-)
The stairs end in a ladder going on up into the attic. I wouldn't want to climb that ladder every day myself, but for a kid it would be a plus :-)

Quoting Heath 'kik36' Flor
This is such a gorgeous model.....there's always more and more details I find every time I look. In fact, I just noticed the rain gutter and can't see quite clear enough to figure out how you did that....would you happen to have a close-up of that?
There's only a small rain gutter running along the long edge of the roof. Are you looking at the decorative trim at the building corners? I don't have a close-up of that area on Victorian IIIB, but that part is pretty much the same as Victorian III, and you can see that area more closely in the first three shots of this gallery:

Ironic this is the second time my comment follows Nick Whites! I loved this from the moment I received the notice you added it! At first it seemed to be the "modular" size, when I saw it in your living room my eyes popped out and fell out when you compared it to the firehouse modular! I had to scramble to find my eyes and pop them back in to enjoy the rest! The stove with oven and oven rack almost made my eyes pop out again! The Laundry Room did the same! The bed spread reminded me of my mother's old chenille one! The "beaded" curtains were very late 60's early 70's ish! They reflected the hippy movement in San Francisco where these "painted" ladies stood tall! Your work is superior! I hope you were paid well! Love & Peace Nick

'I've always suspected I was watching TV instead of living life. Right after I was shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television'. Andy Warhol
Re-Enactments is an interactive audio performance that casts its audience, a small group of eight participants, as the 're-enactors' of the narrator's story. Via headphones, the re-enactors receive instructions for action, speech and navigation through the cavernous basement space beneath the imposing Shoreditch Town Hall building.
The voice inside the headphones belongs to a patient who has recently recovered from a serious brain trauma. They have undergone extensive physiotherapy since the accident in order to be able to move again. But their movements now feels over-rehearsed and second-hand; ever since the accident the narrator has felt like an 'actor' rehearsing to be themselves again in a world that now feels like a television show. The images on the television seem more real than the world that the narrator's body belongs to. To feel real again, the narrator must stage a re-enactment. To live inside the images onscreen. Your reality and that of the narrator's are about to meet.
Inspired by Charlie Kauffman's Synecdoche, New York and Tom McCarthy's novel Remainder and emerging from research into the condition of depersonalisation and derealisation undertaken at Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Institute for Advanced Study, Germany.

Reuters Health
Stressful events, such as the death of a loved one, financial worries or job problems, can exacerbate symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Dutch scientists said Friday.
In a study reported in the British Medical Journal, researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam found that stress was linked with double the risk of an increase in the severity of symptoms of the autoimmune disease.
"The knowledge that stressful events are associated with disease activity adds important information to the limited insight that patients and their caregivers have on this unpredictable disease," said Rogier Hintzen, a neurologist at the center.
MS is a chronic, progressive disease that occurs when immune system cells attack and destroy the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It affects about a million people worldwide.
Twice as many women as men suffer from MS, which can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms such as tingling, fatigue, loss of balance and slurred speech are intermittent.
The illness is more common in people living in colder climates and rare in Africa and Asia. Its cause is unknown and there is no cure.
Hintzen and his team, who questioned 73 MS patients, said they did not find any increase in infections after stressful events.
But one stressful event during a period of four weeks was associated with double the risk of exacerbation within the next week.

The Library Fireplace
30 comments :
Over the years, my husband and I bought old houses and made them new and beautiful again. Even an old apartment in Argentina.
But they were never as extensive as what you are doing and I remember how fed up and tired of it all, I got. I can only imagine how much you would like to be done with this and sitting and relaxing in front of the fire.
It will happen. you will look back and smile and be so proud. And glad it is over :)Replies
Yes, we are quite exhausted at this point. It's just a lot of work, a lot of decisions, and it takes a whole lot of time. Thanks for the encouragement! Best, CatherineDelete
It is so important keeping those love images as a focal point, when the task seems endless - it has an end, and that will be so lovely. The chimney looks lovely with its old panelling.ReplyDelete
We have similar fireplaces - 4 total. Two were converted to coal burning at some point and are bricked-up behind the exterior grate. A third one was used in the 1970's, but needs to be re-flued so that we do not burn down our home! The fourth one - in our bedroom- has plywood over it that is painted black. (Pics here: http://theoldpostroadblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/fireplace-surround-before-and-after.html ). We need to be brave and take the plywood off and see what lies behind it! Our kids' rooms, upstairs, have the chimneys going thru the middle of their rooms. When we took the sheet rock off the chimneys, we found a hole for a flue - probably for an old stove that warmed the room - we are guessing there were once borders that lived upstairs (here is a pic http://theoldpostroadblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/progress-sort-of.html ). Our home was built in the 1850's - we think.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh my, what a beautiful job you've done! I have to tell you that it is somewhat comforting to look at other people's renovations. Perhaps it's a reminder that there is light on the horizon! Best wishes, CatherineDelete
Oh wow! That is fantastic, and so beautiful! I love our fireplace and you certainly deserve a quiet evening by the fire. The renovation is coming along, and it's revealing so much beauty that comes from these old homes. The wait will bemore than worth it!ReplyDelete
SOMEDAY ALL OF THIS WILL BE BUT A MEMORY - YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU SPENT THE TIME TO DO THE PROJECT CORRECTLY.ReplyDelete
Yes we try and remind ourselves that we are putting so many tasks behind us and look forward to one day having the whole process be a distant memory!Delete
How wonderful! I love old fireplaces and yours is going to look awesome!ReplyDelete
So wish this were my rentavation.ReplyDelete
I love the feel of your old home, really can't wait to see it completed.
Another great 250 year old home Reno is Elizabeth Maxsom where women create she has been sharing the steps of what she is doing and it's a home that will floor all with all she is doing, so between your home and hers I am in jealous mode here! :))

Great, thank you!Delete
Soon and very soon my friend. Hang in there.ReplyDelete
Keep those wonderful images of sitting in front of the fire in your head, they will keep you going. I think at this stage it all gets long and tedious, you just want it to be over; I know, I've been there with this house in France. Soon it will be and it will all be worthwhile, it looks as if it is going to be so fantastic and the last part seems to always take twice as long as the first! Keep up the fabulous work and keep smiling!ReplyDelete
This room is going to be so lovely and cozy! All the original character is there and I can imagine that having a working fireplace will be such a treat.ReplyDelete
And how fortunate that it already has an up-to-code liner. That was a major headache in my 1880s home. Long story short, we have a fireplace but the flue is only 4". We spoke with several masons and unfortunately there is no liner that will work in a flue that narrow. We were very disappointed to learn that our fireplace won't ever be functional. I will just enjoy your fireplace restoration all the more!!Replies
We will do gas logs in all but one of our fireplaces. It burns cleaner, they'll be used more and we won't have to have them lined (the three others). Lining a chimney is very expensive and as you've found out, sometimes, it isn't enough.Delete
Best, Catherine
I can't wait to see it! Pure love, and great taste goes into all your work.ReplyDelete
I just let out a huge sigh, I can see such potential and beauty in this room. What a wonderful step forward, it is going to be lovely.ReplyDelete
Is that your spinning wheel? I had a friend say once that there's so far to go but just think how far you've come. If you plotted out a time line, you are way past the mid point, yes? Next Christmas will be here before you know it and you can hang stockings by the chimney with care!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Vicki,Delete
The spinning wheel is from the previous owner. The photo is one of the very first photographs I took of our almost-ours house. And yes, we are at the end of our 'to do' list. It's the phase of putting things back - paint, seal floors, add lighting, kitchen and baths, etc.
Best, Catherine
It's like uncovering buried treasure. How lovely it will be to return it to its original beauty.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 28, 2016 at 4:31 PM
What a pleasure it is to view all your hard work on this house. Ours is not as old (1890s) but we have 5 fireplaces and only one has a liner. The others are gas logs and we enjoy them just as much. Thanks for sharing all lovely pictures so we can dream along with you. Vicki in Louisville KyReplyDelete

Catherine, you have shown us many photos over the years featuring this particular courageous-in-the-face-of-battle lady. I'm sure you've given her sisterly taps on the shoulder throughout 2 whole-house renovations, probably never moreso than now. The two of you are beautiful, powerful, smart, intrepid, and spirited. Here's to you and Joan/Jeanne! <>ReplyDelete

I'll be so happy for you guys when you are relaxing in front of that beautiful fireplace as well. I'm wondering, is propane something that is piped in or do you have it delivered like oil. Also, wanted to tell you that I recently painted my office, opal essence, b/c I loved it in your first house. I'm really enjoying it! linda r (phila burbs)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, propane is delivered like oil. The tanks are kept outside and piped in through copper pipes. Best, CatherineDelete
All the houses we've owned had at least one fireplace. We really enjoy the ambiance - and warmth - it adds to a room. It will be fantastic to bring this one back to its glory.ReplyDelete
This is one of dream project to bring fireplace into living room.ReplyDelete
All of the detail you showed in your words and pictures is impressive and informative. Thank you! We have a country house outside Winnipeg that we are restoring, and what you have shown here no has me inspired to think about what my husband and I might have, if we did something similar with our bricked-over fireplace.ReplyDelete

The expanded space will feature an outdoor smoking pit that, Dan said, can cook a 300-pound pig plus 10 briskets at the same time. Cost: $7,000. "You put more heat into it if you're actually cooking, not just pushing a button," he said. "Plus people can see you cooking."
The pair plans to also add to the menu with such dishes as smoked chicken salad, mac' and cheese to order and s collared green side dish, as well as pecan pie and ice cream for dessert. The current space will be a dedicated kitchen.

$44 Million Donation of Historic Artworks from Nancy Ruyle Dodge and Endowment from the Avenir Foundation Includes Largest Single Gift in Rutgers History
A groundbreaking collection of Soviet nonconformist art has been donated in its entirety to the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the university announced today.
The donation by Nancy and Norton Dodge, the largest single gift in Rutgers' history, makes the museum the world's principal site for studying and exhibiting the most vital, diverse, and daring strains of art produced throughout the USSR over four decades, said Thomas Sokolowski, director of the Zimmerli, and Nevin Kessler, president of the Rutgers University Foundation.
Nancy Ruyle Dodge has made the promised gift to the Zimmerli of her personal collection of more than 17,300 artworks in all media, with an estimated value of more than $34 million. These objects join the now-legendary body of some 4,000 Soviet nonconformist works that Ms. Dodge and her late husband Norton Dodge donated to the Zimmerli in 1991.
Accompanying the gift of art is an endowment of $10 million from the Avenir Foundation. This is the second endowment gift to the Zimmerli from the foundation, which in 2001 helped realize Nancy and Norton Dodge's vision of global access to their works through exhibitions, publications, conservation and scholarship.
Now permanently united at the Zimmerli, the entire Nancy and Norton Dodge Collection represents the work of more than 1,000 artists active from about 1956 (the year of Nikita Khruschev's "secret speech" to the 20th Party Congress, denouncing Stalinism and initiating a cultural thaw) through 1991 and the end of the Gorbachev era of glasnost and perestroika. Included among the newly donated works are paintings on canvas and panel, sculptures, assemblages, installations, works on paper, photographs, videos and artists' books. Extending well beyond Russia in its scope, the collection includes many examples of nonconformist art produced in the Soviet republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
Some works from the new gift are already on view at the Zimmerli in the exhibition Commemorating the Russian Revolution, 1917/2017 (on view through February 18, 2018). While many exhibitions and events are taking place around the world on the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Zimmerli's show is the only one that uses the Dodge collection to view the long aftermath of this upheaval through the eyes of artists who courageously refused the constraints on subject matter and style imposed by the Soviet state.
Deba Dutta, chancellor of Rutgers-New Brunswick, said that with this gift, the Zimmerli becomes unique not only among university art institutions but in the world of museums. "This remarkable gift underscores our university's cultural and educational value to our global society."
Sokolowski said the original gift of the Dodge Collection in 1991 immediately made the Zimmerli a global center for this crucial field of art. "It revealed to the public the astonishing and heroic story of the Dodges' efforts to locate, collect and preserve a vast body of work that was officially not even supposed to exist," he said. "It is staggering to have the entire collection brought together at last."
Kessler said Rutgers University Foundation is deeply grateful to Nancy Ruyle Dodge and the Avenir Foundation for their magnificent generosity. "Any institution would have been overjoyed to receive this unparalleled collection of artworks, with the endowment to make them accessible in perpetuity to scholars and the public," he added. "The choice of Rutgers reaffirms the donors' longstanding commitment to this university, while testifying to the outstanding work our curators and researchers have done over the years to promote awareness and appreciation of this highly significant artistic legacy."
Nancy Ruyle Dodge said: "My husband Norton and I felt it was our mission to bring to light these remarkable works that had been consigned to obscurity, and to honor artists of exceptional talent who had been suppressed and defamed. We entrusted Rutgers with an initial gift from the collection because we believed the university deeply understood our goals and had both the scholarly resources and the institutional will to realize our purpose. Now, more than a quarter of a century later, I know our confidence was well placed. I am very pleased to donate the collection in its entirety to Rutgers, as the best and only place for it to reside."
According to Julia Tulovsky, curator of Russian and Soviet nonconformist art at the Zimmerli, the body of work that has now been gifted to the Zimmerli holds surprises even for art historians who have specialized in this subject. "The type of Russian nonconformist art that came to be known in the West," she says, "was predominantly from the Sots Art movement, which used the imagery of Communist propaganda to mock the system. Only a few Sots artists, the ones who emigrated to the West, made names for themselves here. But there were others who remained in Russia and produced superb work that is practically unknown in the West. For example, it was a revelation to me to discover Rostislav Lebedev [born in Moscow, 1946] through the newly donated pieces. His art looks more relevant to the political changes in Russia today than do the works of his better-known fellow Sots artists. We have chosen three pieces by him for Commemorating the Russian Revolution 1917/2017."
Tulovsky points out that the new donation also expands Western knowledge of innovative trends beyond Sots Art. "Leningrad in the 1980s had a vibrant atmosphere," she said, "where visual arts, cinema and rock music were interconnected. One of the key figures in this landscape was Timur Novikov, who is well represented in the new gift."
The gift also makes it possible for the Zimmerli to look beyond Russia to the different strains of nonconformist art in other Soviet republics. "The Zimmerli has done an exhibition on Baltic art and has also shown work from Ukraine," she says. "But now we have the material to enable us to explore the work that was done in the Caucasus, for example, and in Georgia in particular."
Rutgers University Foundation raises funds to support Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The foundation is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Learn more at support.rutgers.edu
The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum is one of the largest and most distinguished university-based museums in the country. It collects, preserves, researches, and exhibits important works of art to provide the university community and regional, national, and international audiences with direct experience of the visual arts. Scholarly activities make art accessible through exhibitions, publications, and educational programs.
The Zimmerli's operations, exhibitions, and programs are funded in part by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and income from the Avenir Foundation Endowment and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Endowment, among others. Additional support comes from the New Jersey State Council of the Arts and donors, members, and friends of the museum.
Admission is free. The museum is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
The Zimmerli Art Museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and select first Tuesdays of the month, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and major holidays, as well as the month of August.

Games. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love games.
When I was growing up, games in any form were my humble introvert retreat, and even now they occasionally still fill this role. I always thought I might grow out of them like many of the adults said. Little did they know, games were just getting started.
I had no idea how much game designers (talking about specifically video games now) were tuning into what it meant to create a great game that you would want to play again and again.
The game in these pictures is one is one I found tonight that I never remember playing. The goal is to stack all of the chairs with only one at the base. You can utilize strategies such as sticking the legs of some of the chairs through some of the various hole sizes in the backs of the chairs. As soon as I saw what the goal of the game was I was immediately hooked, and attempted it 4-5 times before getting it as pictured.
Great games have these attributes in spades. They involve solving challenges that scale with your skill level, give you immediate feedback on how well you did, and then often provide some sort of reward, whether in point form or as an emotional high.
When I managed to stack these chairs successfully, I felt great! I immediately reflected back to my first try, 5 minutes before when I thought the game was a ridiculous hoax. Luckily, my stubborn nature convinced me to persist. Upon my win, I looked at the structure - examining the immediate feedback of how it was put together. I felt great about the fact that the entire structure would have collapsed if not held together by these, barely touching, green and red chairs above.
I think that many would have the drive to continually improve at their work if they received consistent rewards from accomplishing challenging tasks. It's all too often that we get stuck doing the same tasks over and over, without the possibility for further challenge.
The idea that humans don't like hard work is a myth. Rather, the hard work must just be scalable to allow for continual creative thinking, reflection, and winning moments that make us feel like our time was well spent.
It's no surprise that "players have played nearly 6 million years of World of Warcraft". When some look at this they'll see a waste of time or an excessive escapism from society.
I see unutilized potential.
If our modern working lives were more fulfilling, there wouldn't be nearly as much of a need for voluntary partaking in problem solving online. Can work be fun? Involve scalable challenges? Have rewarding, reflective, informative feedback?
I hope so, because it'd be great to have 6 million years worth of time spent on solving the problems of world hunger, increasing worldwide renewable energy sources, ending racial segregation, putting a stop to environmental destruction, and collapsing all social and financial inequalities.
For further reading, I highly recommend reading Jane McGonigal's book: "Reality is Broken" or watch her Ted Talk here.

Tottenham midfielder Danny Rose is a loan target for Swansea City.
The Daily Mail says Swansea City want to sign Rose on loan.
Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers, who managed the 20-year-old at Watford two years ago, is keen to beef up his attacking options as the Championship side bid to secure a place in the top flight.
Former Leeds youngster Rose famously scored a 35-yard volley in last season's North London derby and has spent time on loan at Bristol City this season.

Tesla car pricing varies depending on certain factors, but the average price is around $79,570, as of 2015. Pricing for a Tesla can be significantly higher than this, however, depending on the specific model purchased and the options included.
Tesla's electric cars have proved very popular, and this popularity has driven up demand for the company's cars. Its vehicles are rated very highly by numerous consumer groups, including Consumer Reports. Tesla's vehicles are completely electric, requiring no gasoline or other fuels to operate. They carry internal batteries that are rechargeable and enable the car to drive for long distances without needing to recharge.

Health Lottery 'detrimental' to hospice fundraising
The chief executives of two Worcestershire hospices say they are worried about the impact the new Health Lottery will have on local fundraising.
The new lottery donates 20.34p per £1 ticket to charity, compared with 28p for every National Lottery ticket.
The Acorns Children's Hospice in Worcester runs its own lottery and fears sales will be affected.
But the trust which distributes cash from the Health Lottery said it was a valuable funding source.
The new lottery, run by the Northern & Shell media, the firm that owns Express newspapers and Channel 5, offers a top prize of up to £100,000.
As a society lottery, the draws will be exempt from the 12p in duty paid on each pound of National Lottery sales.
'Hugely greater'
But David Strudley, from the Acorns Children's Hospice said it own lottery generates more money.
"Our contention is, first of all, we are a genuinely local lottery," he said.
"It is a source of income to us that we vitally need - £70,000 a year.
"Thirdly, the amount of money that actually comes to us from our own lottery arrangements is hugely greater than is being offered to us by the Health Lottery."
Acorns runs its lottery in conjunction with St Richard's Hospice in Worcester which receives half the proceeds.
Mark Jackson, from the hospice, said: "They're only giving 20p in the pound to charity.
"The National Lottery gives 28p and pays 12p in the pound to the government. We pay 50p."
In a statement, the People's Health Trust which distributes money for the new lottery said it believed the money would be a valuable injection of funding for the charitable sector and did not believe it would be detrimental to existing hospice incomes.

I want to be able to run an ASP.NET application when a file is upload via FTP. I understand how to use the filewatcher class to monitor the directory but I don't know where to put the code so it is always running.
Files will be uploaded once per month for each group of users of the system and the next time the user logs on after the upload I would like the application to reflect the new data. I don't want to check for a new upload when each user logs on because the processing could take a log time.
The uploads are automatic from multiple other computer systems and not done by any user.
The Application is hosted (by GoDaddy) so I don't have full control of the server.
Is there any way to have a process running all the time in the background and if so how? The application is written in VB.net.

This worked a treat, but not I cannot upload any documents to another site on the same server.
I can open and save documents that are already there, but when I click the 'Upload' button it gives a white page with 'An unexpected error has occurred.' on it.

Greetings all,
I'm very excited to announce several major things regarding my Peacherine Orchestra.
First off, we've rebranded ourselves as The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra! PRSO, as it will now be called, has undergone a facelift, updating and adding new programming for our concert and silent film activities, and, brand new dance programs! As part of that, we have a BEAUTIFUL new logo designed by the always wonderful Joe Busam Sr.
Second, we have launched a completely redesigned website, same address as before: http://www.peacherineragtime.com
Please note: The old site was http://www.peacherineragtime.webs.com" target="_blank. We will no longer be using that site.
The site has undergone a major facelift, advertising our new events, concerts, silent film programs, dance programs, AND, starting today, limited photocopies of orchestrations and piano sheet music from our collections.
ALSO, we are now offering Silent Film Score rentals, for groups and individual performers who want to use Peacherine's scores for their programs! As of right now, we have a limited selection of comedies starring Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Harold Lloyd for rental. We will be expanding into non-comedies and offering new scores, and commissions for score compilations over time. For more information on score rentals, and/or photocopies of orchestrations/piano scores, visit this page: http://www.peacherineragtime.com/score-rentals/
Lastly, I am EXTREMELY excited to announce the acquisition of the Louis Henry Burns Jr. Sheet Music Collection, a treasure trove of over 2,500 piano scores from the 1900s through the 1970s, along with some ephemera from Mr. Burns' career! The collection features a mixture of ragtime, popular songs, band arrangements, and more, belonging to Mr. Burns, a former Kansas City musician, including some silent film music. We are incredibly grateful to the Burns Family for donating the collection to us, and we will be making this collection available to researchers, and will offer limited photocopies of the scores to interested individuals! Once we have finished cataloging the collection, we will upload the list to our website.
I encourage all of you to visit Peacherine's new site, check out our programming offerings, our silent film scores, examples of our silent film work, and please tell your friends about us!
Thank you,

15 Essential Posts
14/08/2015 Barcelona
Five years on from its launch and freshly revamped, the IESE Blog Network is blooming. It continues spreading the expert insights of IESE faculty further afield, bringing enhanced content to readers across the planet.
Posts in English have been a main highlight this academic year. The most popular being those on economics, ethics and managing people. They have drawn readers from the USA, India, the UK and Germany.
Sebastian Reiche's refelctions on global mobility built up a worldwide readership. Domènec Melé and Antonio Argandoña have done likewise, with their opinions on improving companies by incorporating ethics into all their processes. Eduardo Martínez Abascal's singular approach to explaining the workings of economies (with a special focus on Greece in recent months) has had dual success. Not only has he aroused readers' interest, but also prompted them to respond and contribute themselves.
Other topics that have proved popular include women in business (covered in posts by Nuria Chinchilla and Mireia Las Heras), Africa (Africa Ariño), family-run companies (Josep Tàpies) and the global business environment (Mike Rosenberg).

It takes a special kind of person to be a foster parent. While there are many misconceptions about fostering, it's hard to understand what the experience entails until you actually have done it yourself. Some get involved for financial reasons, others do so out of a sense of unbridled optimism or see it as a chance to help someone in need.
Fostering may be an imperfect, often frustrating process for some, but it can also lead to the makings of a real family. Here are what some foster parents revealed about it on the Whisper app, proving that the experience can be as complex and multifarious as all relationships.

how to go to Boracay Island
I am thrill for I am now launching my official hashtag Aikadventure! *yey! I will be using this to all my travel adventures.
Okay, so just recently, I, together with
my man went to Boracay Island. This is our first travel adventure for the year 2016! I have pre-booked our flight to Kalibo since last year when I heard about the promo fares of Air Asia. The 3 days 2 nights stay for two only costs 438 pesos when I booked! In doubt? Take a look at details of my flight below.
A lot has booked already when I checked Air Asia's site so I just booked the 5:35 pm flight going to Kalibo which is the earliest left. Still a good thing that I have secured 2 spots before all went sold out!
Now here we go with the adventure!
Note: All domestic flights (to and from) of Air Asia are operating at NAIA Terminal 4. From Valenzuela City, you can ride a bus going to MRT Taft Station. Cross the MRT bridge and look for the terminal where jeepneys bound Baclaran are located. Ride a jeep and tell them to drop you at Petron. Just cross the street and walk towards NAIA T4.
During my business trips as an Information Systems Specialist of Robinsons Retail Holdings, I am very much aware of delayed flights. But I am not ready for a more than 4 hours delayed flight that day. *sigh
We finally boarded the plane by 9:20 pm. I am already tired and hungry so thank goodness the Air Asia management provided free meals. The travel from NAIA T4 to Kalibo International Airport will usually take 45 minutes but for times with air traffic, it will be prolonged. Upon arrival at Kalibo Airport (10:30pm), locals are already waiting outside to offer van service which costs 250 pesos per head (usually 200 pesos if you arrive in the morning till afternoon). You have to take a van for you to be able to reach Caticlan Jetty Port. Travel time is an hour and 30 minutes. When we reached Caticlan Jetty Port, we paid for the Terminal Fee (100 pesos) and Environmental Fee (75 pesos). You also have to sign a form and give your name to the security guard so you can reserve a slot for the boat ride.
It was like *doomsday*. It was so hot and we were held outside the pre-departure area. The security guard told us that there is only one boat taking tourist to the island. We were there past 12 midnight and there's just few of us by that time. Few minutes passed, group of foreign tourists who availed a travel tour package of Southwest tours arrived. They were taken to where the boat is located. First batch (50 pax per batch), 2nd batch, 3rd batch until sixth (all came later than us) were catered first! I have not heard my name being called or any of us not part of the Southwest tour package. We had our name listed and we have not rode the boat!
3:00 am – As I am so tired already, I got so frustrated and pissed. I went to the security guard and confronted him. He said the group has a private boat which I did not buy because (1) no name were called from us not part of the Southwest tours. (2) If there is atleast one boat, someone should have been called. (3) whenever batches of those tourist were taken to the departure area, the security guard is nowhere to be found. Others went pissed also and confronted him and that's the time he let us in. Of course, we still waited at the departure area. We finally get to ride a boat by 3:30 pm and arrived at Cagban Port by 3:45 am.
From Cagban Port, we hailed a tricycle which took us to the hotel. The ride costs 100 pesos.
It is really advisable to pre-book hotels. I used Travel Book for my reservation at The Sun Garden Hilltop Resort located at Station 3. For my Feb 9 to 11 stay, I paid 3,427.20 pesos (discounted rate) which included free breakfast for 2 pax.
Me and
my man woke up by 7:30 am a little hungry so we asked for the free breakfast. The Sun Garden Hilltop resort is located at Station 3. They offer a very hearty breakfast. I had corned beef paired with egg and fried rice and my boyfriend enjoyed his tocilog meal. Fruits and drinks area also served free. 🙂
After breakfast, we took a quick bath and headed to the beach.
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.
The weather is good for a swim so we enjoyed the dose of vitamin sea…
What's a vacation without souvenirs? Yes! We went to D Talipapa and other stores in Boracay for our souvenir hunt.
We went back to the hotel before lunch and took a shower. I decided to take a nap too for an hour. Zzzzzz
12:30nn – Because we wanted to be "matipid', we just walked along the beach (you may also take a tricycle and pay 10 pesos per person) going to D Mall. We decided to have our lunch at D Mall. It took us more or less 40 minutes but with the good view of the beach, we didn't get tired walking. We dined at Ole Spanish Tapas Bar and Restaurant and ordered a serving for sharing of Sinigang na Hipon with rice (180 pesos) and additional 2 cups of rice. Me and my boyrfriend loves mangoes so when we saw Mango Halo of Halowich,, with no doubt, we lined up together with the crazy-for-ice cream tourists. And it didn't disappointed us – sobrang sarap!
We strolled D Talipapa that night and looked for few more souvenir items. There is a Mang Inasal branch also located so we had our dinner there.
We hailed a tricycle going back to the hotel. Again, the fare is just 10 pesos per person. Whole day of adventure is done so it's time to sleep.
Our flight back to Manila was originally scheduled 12:4o pm, however, I received an email and a text message notification from Air Asia the previous night (Feb 10th) that the flight was rescheduled due to operational requirements. The new departure time became 3:20 pm. I actually loved it because it means there is more time for swimming and strolling!
Check out time at the hotel is 11:00 am, we left then by that time and took a tricycle to Caticlan Port. Upon arrival at the Port we were offered a boat + van ride for only 200 pesos. The boat will take you to Caticlan Jetty Port and the van to Kalibo International Airport. You will be given a sticker and two tickets, one for the van and for the boat. Pay for the 1oo pesos terminal fee Cagban Jetty Port.
When we got at Caticlan Jetty Port, we didn't had a hard time looking for the van service. It has a big signage.
We got at Kalibo International Airport passed 2 pm. We paid for the terminal fee which is 200 pesos each person. Had our lunch at a near karinderya and waited for boarding.
Time to go home…
The Boracay Island is such an exquisite place. It was our first time to go there. We love having adventures together. We had a fair share of bad and good experiences during the trip but I will settle to keep the good ones.
"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."

The US Department of Education's What Works Clearinghouse has evaluated Scientific Learning Corporation's Fast ForWord® Language product based on a study that met its highest evaluation criteria, and has concluded that the product is in the top tier of interventions aimed at English Language Learners (ELL).
The WWC, which is a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education, examined a rigorous study of kindergarten through fifth-grade English Language Learners and concluded that the Fast ForWord Language intervention had potentially positive effects on English language skills. The study showed that ELL students using the Fast ForWord Language intervention had statistically significant improvements in their English language development, with an improvement index of +31 on a scale of +/- 50.
To date, the designation of "potentially positive" is the strongest accolade given by the WWC in its reviews of interventions for English language learners. Five other ELL interventions were also examined; one matched the Fast ForWord Language rating for English language development, but its improvement index was much lower, at +11.
"This recognition of the Fast ForWord software's effectiveness by the What Works Clearinghouse confirms once again more than 30 years of neuroscience research and its dramatic impact on English Language Learners," said Robert C. Bowen, Chairman and CEO of Scientific Learning. "Educators and parents look to the WWC for independent, scientifically rigorous information about what interventions work. While we've long known that Fast ForWord products can create positive, enduring, neurobiological changes for struggling learners, it's very exciting to now have that knowledge widely disseminated by WWC."
"Until they can develop age-appropriate English language skills, ELL students remain at a disadvantage for learning effectively in the classroom," added Paula Tallal, Ph.D. and co-director of the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University. "It is so important for this population to have an intervention product scientifically proven to lead to rapid, reliable, efficient, and replicable improvement in their English language abilities. By certifying Fast ForWord Language as an effective intervention, the WWC will give educators a crucial tool for helping ELL students."
About the What Works Clearinghouse

Charge your glasses! We've just launched refer-a-friend for Oddbins
Oddbins, the award-winning wine merchant, has teamed up with Buyapowa to empower and enable customers to refer friends and family to the brand.
While Oddbins origins date back as far as 1963, it has earned a reputation for online marketing innovation, being the first high street retailer in the UK to team up with independent wine bloggers. Now by adopting the latest generation of referral marketing, it is enabling all its customers to recommend the brand via email, social networks, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, SMS or any digital platform of choice.
From today, customers will get a free bottle of wine for each new customer they refer and the friend they bring to Oddbins will also get a free bottle of wine. However customers have an incentive not only to recommend the Oddbins brand to their friends, but also the wine they should purchase, as their reward for bringing a new customer will be the very same bottle purchased by their friend. And to encourage customers to refer again and again, a customer who brings three new customers to the wine retailer will also get an additional £10 voucher to spend on wine of their choice.

Retirement Reform : French Add Fuel to the Flames
"All petrol stations have fuel" …or have they? Unfortunately for all French road-users, France's secretary of state for transport Dominique Bussereau's attempt to reassure French citizens on Sunday, has poorly failed. In a bid to reverse the government's plans to raise the retirement age, striking French oil-refinery workers have cut the fuel supply not only to Paris airports but also to nearly 400 petrol stations, by blockading fuel depots. This wave of protests has raised fears of a fuel shortage which could paralyse the whole economy.
The government, however, claims it will not be backing down on the unpopular pension plan, which will raise the age of retirement from 60 to 62 (early retirement with reduced pension) and increase the state retirement age from 65 to 67. The reform is said to be the only way to stop a 32bn Euro annual pension shortfall ballooning to 50bn euros by 2020. But both the unions and the Socialist opposition claim that Sarkozy is making workers pay a heavy toll for the financial crisis and have made alternative proposals for funding the deficit. The French senate is due to vote on the reforms on Wednesday, the last step needed to pass the reform.
Are French people supporting the strikes?
Polls are so contradictory that it is impossible to draw a clear conclusion about citizens' support for the strikes; the fact is that several millions of demonstrating workers and students have expressed their opposition to the president's plan last week. Moreover, twelve oil refineries remain on strike and 11 are blockaded by unions. France's petrol pumps could run dry by Wednesday, and the country's oil industry association UFIP warned that if strikes were to carry on 12 of France's refineries then there could be a national shortage. In order to calm the population down, the French oil giant, Total, announced that less than 3% of its 13,000 petrol stations were experiencing supply disruptions. Unfortunately, this was not enough to stop a rush towards petrol stations. Paris was the hardest hit.
Some members of the general public started expressing their anger this weekend: "It is unacceptable to undermine the freedom of movement and work of the population. Even though I support the movement against pension reforms, these people cannot take the country hostage" said Sylvie, 50.
Paris Airports paralysed
Another critical problem remains with Parisian airports being some of the worst affected. Orly and Charles de Gaulle are both cancelling flights. Orly has cancelled half its flights. Airlines have informed pilots that they should refuel abroad. Concerned by the idea of a potential national paralysis, Prime Minister François Fillon declared whilst being interviewed by TF1 television channel "I will not let the French economy be choked by a blockade of fuel supplies" and continued "The right to strike is respected, but this is not the right to block access to fuel, or to deny non-striking workers access to their workplaces".
The Bouclier Fiscal (A tax cap)
What strikers are also claiming is that it is not simply about chocking the economy, these marches are designed to ask for social justice. The 'bouclier fiscal', a tax cap introduced by Sarkozy immediately after his election in 2007 - when the financial crisis was not yet shaking the world's economy - is harshly criticized by the opposition. It established an upper limit on the amount of tax a person might be required to pay. Of course this measure was particularly appreciated by the wealthiest French citizens. Strangely enough, now that France is in the middle of a financial meltdown, the Minister of Budget, Francois Baroin also agreed that this measure "epitomizes social injustice".
Could the abolition of the 'Bouclier Fiscal' for this retirement reform be a fair bargain?

Why is your size, desired style or color not listed?
Generally, this is because it is either sold out or the manufacturer doesn't make that style or color in your size.
If the product your are viewing is on sale, a manufacturer closeout or factory blemish, these deals are so good that they sell out very fast. Also, we don't normally receive all sizes available in all styles or colors in the closeout or factory blemish products from the manufacturer. So if your size, desired style or color isn't shown, that means it's not available at this time.
We may receive future shipments of some of these closeout or factory blemish products, and we may receive your size, desired style or color at that time. If you are on our newsletter list, we will send you an email when new shipments of these products arrive. Don't get our free hottest deals/coupon emails? You can sign up by clicking on the "Latest Offers Sign Up" icon in the top banner of any page on our website.
We cannot special order any sizes, styles or colors in a sale item, closeout or factory blemish product due to the nature of the product.
If the product you are viewing is a current model product, and your size in your desired style or color isn't showing, that means that the manufacturer simply doesn't make that style or color in your size. When we carry a current model product, we always stock every size that the manufacturer makes in that product and will reorder these items to maintain inventory if it is available.

Okay, got my character up. Im quite new to rp, so don't hesitate to pm me if anything I say bothers you or with suggestions.
It's not a problem for Norticon because he is undead approximately for a 100 years. As an undead he don't ageing.But I have a few questions.You said our characters are one of the schools. I've believed the city has one giant Mage school. But it's not a problem. My question is: are our characters in the main school? That belongs to the king? I suppose we are.
The school has rooms for the students, or they are going there just learning and live elsewere? (I preffer they live in the school, I think it's better for the teaching, and our characters easily can find each other and make conversations.)
And finally, how do you imagine the teaching? It will be a master apprentice relationship or a class and teacher type?
Okay.Lately I've been thinking about the magic in our game. I just wondering how exactly it works? I have a lot of ideas about it, but if you have a concept too, I would love to hear it.I think it's an important issue, so I think we should discuss it.
What are your ideas?
Alright, it's just some ideas. However I want to use some of them, because my character is a teacher, and he has to say intresting things in the class. I don't want to play out all the classes but some of them would be fun.
Don't expect the classroom setting to happen right away, as we've not many players.

There are some who believe that tithing is a legalistic approach to giving. But I believe that God has called us to bring our tithes and offerings to Him on a regular basis. It's a physical act that demonstrates that He is the Lord of our life. The New Testament didn't lower the expectations of giving. If anything it actually increased it to the point that we should be willing to sacrificially give to glorify God and further His Kingdom. We should teach regularly on the biblical perspective of giving using both the Old and New Testament as our guide. Jesus talked more about money than he did any other subject while He was here on earth. He knew that if we were going to learn to trust in Him, we would have to learn to let go of our main object of trust, our money.
I have found that once or twice a year as you are teaching a series on giving or one Sunday on giving, you can use the tithe challenge to jump people from initial givers and systematic givers to tithers. It's just as easy to ask for a 30 day commitment as it is to ask for a 3 month tithe challenge. If your asking for a 3 month challenge, you can also modify it to a 4 month challenge. In Malachi, God says test me. Encourage people to test God. "For the next 4 months I want to encourage you to take this challenge and see what God does in your life." Along with this challenge, you could give out copies of the treasure principle to those who take the challenge. Either hand it out that day or mail it to them. Mailing it could be better because in the packet with the treasure principle you can include a letter from the pastor with info about the challenge and a mail in envelope and even ask them to use auto debit. After the challenge Sunday, send an email from the pastor encouraging them about their commitment. Then one month in, send another encouraging email, "Right now your being challenged and are wondering what is going on and you are considering taking back what is God's…" Again at half way through the challenge, send another email requesting stories about what has happened since they took the challenge. (Tangible or Intangible) Do they feel better, have inward peace, seen financial blessings, seen financial struggles, etc… And one month before the challenge ends, send out all of the stories you received to encourage others and invite more stories from those in the challenge. If you're ambitious, you can also do a daily devotion dealing with money to people who took the tithe challenge.
Note: Know that there will be some people that will not continue tithing after the challenge is over. But there will be a good percentage of those who took the challenge who will realize the value of giving and continue to do it on a regular basis.
Times of change are good times to start a tithe challenge. These would be the months January or Feburary and then again in August or September.
A Side Note on Tithing
Malachi 3 is the basis for tithing. The best time to teach on giving is when things are going good. It should be a part of the normal routine. If you taught on money as much as Jesus taught on money … it would be every third week. A third of Jesus' teaching is on money. You should challenge people to give more so they can grow more. When you are not tithing, God is not proactively against you. But at the same time, He is not proactively for you. The curse from not tithing is the absence of God's blessings in your life. Partial obedience in the tithe is complete disobedience. Genesis 4 is another good passage where it talks about Cain and Able. Cain gave what was left over … it says he gave some of his fruit (not his best fruit).
A common excuse for not giving is debt. But, the way to get out of debt is to pay God first and let him manage the debt, not to pay down the debt and ignore God. Proverbs 3:9&10 tells us to honor the Lord with our wealth. Additionally, the tithe should be given to the church not other organizations. The church belongs to Jesus Christ. It is the organization He left behind.

Loving the World
that we Live iN
Using fashion as a bridge and tool to promote environmentalism and remind people on the importance of caring for our environment while look stylish
Fashion show
Four themes express the beautiful evolution and fragile coexistence of nature and mankind from the creation to the destruction and the resurrection.
Inspired by the beauty of the world around us: a world that was created for us to love and appreciate. The wonders of this earth are captured in these four designs.
Our world is suffering. We want too much, desire too much, consume too much, and destroy too much. Four designs represent the destruction of our environment and should serve as a wake-up call.
Environmentalism is the new hip. With these three dresses I hope to show everyone that chic and refreshing designs can also be created from recycle materials. Our own imagination is the limit.
Back to Basics – the Four Elements
Going back to the basics of this world, the elements that brings life to all our senses – earth, water, fire and wind. Let these four dresses remind us of the basics in life, the element that makes us human.
