Hello loves, it's Friday morning and I hope we are all well. We're on the cusp of another weekend, the sun is shining (it's not but let's pretend, eh?) and I am spending the day writing something for an actual outside website (they asked me to write it ages ago, but I am lazy, so I am). Speaking of outside websites, today it is Friday which means the latest Spark magazine is online and I have written another celebrity roundup for them, covering the various award ceremonies that have gone on this week, it's actually quite good if you like that sort of thing (which I presume you do as you are reading my blog right now).
ONE MORE THING. It's a special day on Sunday at Pride Radio, we're all off to the lovely Lee's house for a Come Mince With Me special, where Carla and myself have been billed as "the dessert". What can I say except I'm sweet and Carla's full of cream? I will probably use that joke on-air, if truth be told, unless I can think of anything funnier between now and then. Anyway we'll be on this Sunday, as we are every Sunday, 2pm-4pm but I'm sure it'll be a great sure so make sure you're listening online.
It's not all about me, though, as a whole load of shite has gone down since the last time I write a celebrity roundup, and now through the medium of the written word I will tell you about some of that aforementioned shite in yet another Silly Old Daniel Celebrity Roundup.
1. Ellie Goulding has a few sherries and decides to hit the social networking sites.
I'm in two minds about Ellie Goulding to tell you the truth. I saw her live a few months ago and she was surprisingly captivating, and I really like quite a few of her songs. But on the other side of the coin, I just find her so uninteresting that it almost hurts.
She was up for Best British Female at The Brit Awards this week, and after presenting the Critics' Choice Award to Jessie J she returned to her seat to find out if she had won. As it turns out, she hadn't. Laura Marling shocked everyone by winning the award, although I quite enjoy her music so it could have been a lot worse. I tell you what though, isn't she pale? She's practically translucent.
It's fair to say Ellie didn't take the news very well and later went on Twitter basically made a bit of a dick of herself. She tweeted:
"I feel like I've let you all down I'm so sorry :-("
Are you drunk, Miss Goulding? Have you had a naughty drink at The Brits and now you're pissed and upset?
"I just want to hug you all seriously im so sorry i love you all x"
The tweets have since been removed from her profile suggesting that someone "grown-up" confiscated the drunken bint's phone and said "this will literally do you no good when you wake up in the morning". Amazing. Drunk tweeting from celebrities-- more of it, please!
2. Lil Kim continues to be a hater.
When was the last time anyone gave a shit about anything Lil Kim did? Think really hard. Was it Lady Marmalade? Was it Can't Hold Us Down (during both of which she played second-fiddle to that dreadful Christina Aguilera woman)? Was it... do you know I couldn't name a single other of her songs.
Yet when Nicki Minaj burst onto the scene, all guns blazing, Lil Kim was suddenly acting as if she had some sort of territory to protect. Now I'm not someone who knows a lot about rap music, but I know it's not cool to start slagging off your peers just because you're threatened by them. And that's what Lil Kim did, tearing into Nicki at every opportunity.
Nicki has never explicitly mentioned Kim in a derogatory manner, but it's rumoured that Nicki's part in Roman's Revenge is directed towards Lil Kim (and, celebrity dispute facts, Eminem's is allegedly directed towards Mariah Carey), but Nicki has kept a more-or-less dignified silence about the whole thing.
Lil Kim has sunk to a new low, though, as she recently unveiled the cover for her latest release, Black Friday. Perhaps we should first look at the cover for Nicki's album Pink Friday...
And here's the cover for Black Friday...
Wow. Subtle.
To put this in perspective, can you imagine if when Just Dance came out, instead of arse-kissing Madonna decided put out a new album where on the cover she was brandishing the severed head of Lady GaGa? Madness.
3. After a hundred years of waiting, Britney Spears has a new video.
After what has literally felt like the slowest single campaign since The Wanted promoted All Time Low drip by drip, Britney Spears has finally released the video for her latest single Hold It Against Me. It is quite good, but is not going to change the world. Parts of it are utterly predictable, and parts of it were quite surprising. Let's examine these parts.
1. Unflattering clothing to create the illusion Britney is still 17.
In this case it seems to be a garment too big to be considered knickers and too small to be considered hotpants, paired with a belt made out of bullets. She looks good but that outfit is just unnecessary.
2. Britney is trying to get the gays to pay attention to her.
Exhibit B - a man in tiny underwear bending over with his arse in the air LIKE HE'S READY TO BE ENTERED.
3. Tedious and unnecessary product placement.
The sight of Britney on that godforsaken dating site will stay with me until the day I die. What would have been a much better idea would be if AT THE START of the video Britney had gone on Plenty Of Fish, seen a guy's profile but been too shy to speak to him. Later, she co-incidentally runs into him at a series of different locations. Then, during the final chorus, she approaches him and says "If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?" and of course he would, so off they'd go to the toilets to have sex until the attendant realised something was going on and started banging on the door.
4. Britney punching above her weight in terms of dancing.
The dancing is what has let me down the most, but only because in the last chorus it simply isn't "big" enough. If you're going to choreograph your final chorus, you can't have had better choreography in the first verse, which is what we get in this. Also, Britney's dress is too tight so she can't bend over properly to whip her hair.
PARTS WHICH ARE SURPRISING (otherwise known as the amazing parts of the video)
1. Britney's jugs are looking fantastic.
Don't know if Britney's had a boob job or what but look at dem titties! Fantastic.
2. Surprise appearance of the Lucky video.
*key change* SHEEEEE IS SO LU-UUUCKY BUT WWHHHHHHYYYYY DOES SHE CRRRYYYYYYY? If they ever make a Britney jukebox musical that song will be a bit of dramatic irony.
3. Britney looks genuinely beautfiul
Not "sexy" or "OK considering" or "good for a mother-of-two", just genuinely really, really beautiful. A welcome sight. I usually slag "pretty Britney" off because to me its synonymous with "boring Britney", but credit where it's due, she looks brilliant.
4. Brief cameo from Kylie Minogue.
5. Britney kicking seven bells out of herself.
In what is clearly the best part of the video, Britney has a massive fight with herself. Symbolic, maybe? It's not quite what I had in mind for the dubstep breakdown, but I suppose that was the point.
6. Shoes
Good shoes, eh?
7. Desecrating her old videos by spunking up paint all over them.
She shows she's moved on from her "old" persona by shooting paint all over her old videos. I've done something very similar to pictures of her ex, Justin Timberlake.
8. Britney is looking like a dancer again.
Back in the day Britney was a dancer who sang a bit, and it's good to see her taking the dancing seriously again.
Don't forget to listen to Pride on Sunday from 2pm!

What a gracious man of music he was!
This is great! Graham crackers and Kellogg's Cirn Flakes: who knew?!
AND, it's a great place for performers! It's the closest thing to a coffee house I've seen since the Ashgrove in L.A. It's intimate like McCabes in Santa Monica. I love the place to go hear music, and am honored to have performed there, as well! --- Jo Wilkinson

U.S. oil strategy might not change despite exports
They aren't reinventing the wheel, just rolling it the other way trying to make a quick buck.
That's the rationale behind recent plans disclosed by BP and Shell to ship oil produced in the U.S. to Canada.
Don't expect the developments to mark a shift in strategy, analysts say, noting that relatively small amounts are involved.
"Obviously it defies gravity because we are a net importer of crude and Canada is the largest source of crude supply to the U.S.," Oppenheimer & Co. energy analyst Fadel Gheit said. "But in this business, it's always a two-way street."
Bottom line: The U.S. exported an average of about 47,000 barrels of crude a day to Canada last year - less than half of 1 percent of Canada's oil imports. The total spiked to roughly 77,000 in July, the latest month for which data is available.
By comparison, the U.S. imported 2.5 million barrels of crude a day from Canada in July, or more than 32 times the amount it exported to Canada during the same month, according to the Energy Information Administration.
"It's a pretty small amount of volume and I think it's just because it's closer to get it to a market that can use it," Lysle Brinker, director of energy equity research at analysis and consulting firm IHS, said of the exports to Canada.
It's not uncommon for oil produced in the northern U.S. to make its way to Canada, and oil companies need permits from the Commerce Department to export the crude that specify where and to whom the oil is going.
Companies are trying to reduce their transportation costs as much as possible. "Somebody's obviously turning the numbers and figures they can make a few extra dollars," Brinker said.
Rising production from places like the Bakken Shale in North Dakota has created a glut of light sweet crude. Analysts say sending some of that to Canada and perhaps bringing back heavy Canadian crude to U.S. refineries makes sense, from a cost perspective. The shorter the distance, the higher the margins.
"It's a free market and it's only going to Canada, and of course Shell does have refining interests up in Canada," Brinker said. "I don't know what the game plan is, but I think it's only a small part of the strategy."
BP already has gotten government approval for exports, and Shell Oil has applied for a permit to do the same. In BP's case, the permit does not give the company carte blanche to export oil to Canada, but rather the deliveries are very specific and targeted, a person familiar with the arrangement said, adding that BP hasn't shipped any crude under the permit yet.
BP and Shell haven't disclosed how much oil they are exporting, to whom they are sending it, and how much they expect to get in return. Analysts don't expect it to be a windfall, however.
"If cargo can't go from one part of the country to the other and it's better to send it elsewhere, we are doing it," Gheit said. "It's the exception to the rule to export oil from the U.S. to any other country, especially Canada."

Sometimes I get really quiet and people ask what I'm thinking.
When I'm quiet, I don't really want to say what I'm thinking because I'm in the process of sorting things out in my mind. I'm trying to make sense of the chaos in my brain before allowing the words to spill out.
I've been quiet for a while now.
But I think I will share some of my thoughts here soon.

"Bungie did a lot of work to make those great."
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 08th, Sep. 2014 Under News
Destiny is going live the world over with New Zealand one of the first few countries to initiate the quest to become legend. While the superior versions may be on Xbox One and PS4, Xbox division boss Phil Spencer has been telling fans on Twitter not to worry about getting a sub-par experience on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
"I wouldn't dismiss the 360 or PS3 versions, Bungie did a lot of work to make those great."
If you're on the PS3 and PS4 though, you're arguably getting the better deal since there will exclusive content for both platforms till Autumn 2015. These include a competitive map, co-op Strike mission, weapons, armour and different ships. It's expected that there will be more content available to PlayStation fans first for the next few months.
Regardless, it is Destiny and you should be playing it regardless of which console you have. Your thoughts on the game? Let us know in the comments.

Bishop McCort High School Cheerleaders placed second in the Universal Cheerleaders Association, Medium Varsity Division II, Cheerleading contest on Feb. 13 in Orlando, Fla.
The team has competed in this competition since 1990, and during this time has finished in the top ten eight times, with a first place win in 2010.
The 18-member cheerleading squad competed against 30 UCA qualifying squads in their division from across the United States. The McCort cheerleaders participated in approximately 432 hours of dedicated practice since May of 2010.
"Our young women entered the final rounds as one of the teams favored to take the title," said head coach Dr. John Walker, who has coached the team for 23 years. "Their flawless performance fell one- half point short of first place. I could not have asked them to have performed any better under such extraordinary competitive circumstances. I am extremely pleased with the results and the poise that our ladies exhibited."
During the 2010-2011 competitive season, the team also placed first in the "Turner's Winter Classic," "Richland Cheer Contest," and the "Laurel Highlands Competition".
They also won their 16th state title, which was their 8th in the last 10 years. The squad's second place finish at a regional competition is what qualified them for UCA Nationals.
Dr. Walker's coaching staff includes Jeanne Feathers, Lacey Slavich and Amanda Cichetta.

Gemini Gemvar vs MLC Excalibur7/11
We currently use Gemvar 511 conversion varnish and have for over 9 years without any problems. We use it as a sealer and finish coat. We like it because it's ease of use and 21 day pot life. Recently we decided to try MLC Excalibur conversion which is mixed at a pump and has a fast dry time. (Which is the reason we r trying Excalibur) We are using the Excalibur as the sealer and finish also. So I am looking for anybody that has used either of these products and is willing to share there pros/cons of either .finish and which finish they prefer.
I've never heard of MLC Excalibur conversion. All I use is MLC products. Is this new?
It's pretty new, The Satin version is C119624 i believe.
"Excalibur Conversion Varnish Clear is a very durable, self-sealing, fast dry, HAPS compliant finish for wood surfaces with added UV absorbers to offer outstanding UV resistance under ultraviolet exposure. Excalibur passes all KCMA tests and AWI System 5 (Conversion Varnish) for chemical and moisture resistance."
They call it "medium solids".
Wurth has it:
After talking to the MLC rep I see no reason to use it. It was designed for production and to be a lesser expensive finish. The medium solids is why it costs less. If you want the traditional mil thickness on your project you will need more coats then say Krystal or Duravar. The only thing I could see me using it on would be Oak. I think Krystal out 30% when spraying Oak so I don't get the grain build because of the high solids.

Dr Weil's Tip of the Day
RolfingI am midway through my series and have noticed major change for the better. For a referral in the Seattle area I can recommend Clare Woolgrove.
Do you suffer from chronic stress, pain or bad posture? You may want to consider Rolfing. Named after Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing is often referred to as "structural integration." It is not simply massage, it is a system of deep manipulation of the connective tissues that aims to restructure the fascia and relieve physical misalignment.
Basic Rolfing consists of a series of 10 sessions, each focusing on a different part of the body. The practitioner applies firm, and sometimes even painful, pressure via fingers and elbows. The result? You may become more in touch with your body, experience less pain and stress, improve your posture, even release repressed emotions and diminish habitual muscle tension. People who have experienced Rolfing often find an improvement in their professional and daily activities.
To find a trained Rolfer, visit the Rolf Institute Web site at www.rolf.org.

Yohan Cabaye has been suspended for three matches.
Yohan Cabaye – three match suspension
Newcastle midfielder had been given a three match suspension for violent conduct in the FA Cup game at the Amex Stadium on Saturday – as was expected.
This is what the FA put up on their web-site after the hearing today:
At a Regulatory Commission hearing today, Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye was given a three-match suspension for violent conduct.
Cabaye was charged following an incident in Newcastle's FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday 28 January.
The suspension will commence with immediate effect.
The referee didn't see the incident during the game but looked at video of of Cabaye's clash with Adam El-Abd and the FA issued the charge to Cabaye on Monday afternoon.
Newcastle decided to appeal the charge yesterday and the hearing was hastily arranged for this morning, but as expected he was found guilt and will miss games against Blackburn, Aston Villa and Tottenham – and that's a blow to Newcastle.
We suppose the good news is that the FA didn't think Newcastle's appeal was frivolous, otherwise he could have received a four match ban.
Comments welcome.

It's understandable that our players get frustrated when the game is going away from them, but you just have to look at Arsenal for the impact needless, niggly fouls and indiscipline can have on a season.
Part of me thinks Pardew should take it on the chin and encourage the players keep their noses clean or at least box clever. Last thing we want is a persecution complex a la Wenger and Arsenal.
They didn't think our appeal was frivolous, however they gave us no time to prepare a defence and sandwiched a decision between transfer deadline day and a tough away game at Blackburn.
I would describe their whole operation as frivolous, with a few stronger words thrown in for good measure.
Big game tonight please Guthrie!
its up to the referee to request the review not the fa. the refs come out and said if hed seen it he would of given a red card therefore the fas hands are tied. van persie et al received no punishment because the ref didnt request it. prolly because the ref claimed to see them and judged them in game. i read at the weekend that el abd had asked the ref to look again, so this bullshit about him writing a letter is stupid
How come the ref "didn't see the incident"?
It was the centre of the action, not off the ball.
OK, so he "didn't see" perhaps all that could be seen/inferred/speculated from viewing repeated slo mo replays.
But SURELY he cannot say he "didn't see the incident".
Which surely prohibits retrospective action.
There'll be some unhappy people on here tonight. I reckon Perch will have earned the Tioté holding role in Pardew's eyes and that Shola is a dead cert to start as I can't see Best being over happy with the fact that Pardew was happy to let him go to Celtic only for him to refuse on personal terms. Not a great motivator that one.
I can see them scoring from set pieces (again) and us struggling to score. HBA will be amarked man and will probably get clobbered early on.
I'd give Raylor another go with Guthrie. The reserves that played against Manure, including Abeid, looked awful even if Abeid was one of the least worst. He has to put Jonas back out on the left as he's been useless the last few games
How is it the FA can not review a very very bad refereeing decision (like our last minute penalty claim) afetr a game. I know we cant getthe penalty, or change the outcome, but the referee was clearly shown to be inept and incompetent, hence any retrospective 'decisions' by him are dubious to say the least.
@STB // Feb 1, 2012 at 1:53 PM
I agree with you on everything except for the Jonas part. He has been fantastic in his new role. Something like a number 10 and roaming freely. The only problem is our strikeforce. Ameobi, lesser said about his movement the better. We can just plant a tree upfront and we won't notice any difference.
Leon Best plays very deep. So it's hard for Jonas to do anything in that role. With Cisse and Ba could be different.
Sorry for repost.
@Toonincheck, this trial by TV is lopsided as we all know because they(FA) can take action in a case like this but when it comes to disallowed goals it stands, be it (Ref/linesman/woman seeing it or not) they should have a process in place to appeal decisions like this or scrap this practice for reviewing plays/tackle via TV playback.
frigan FA want there bollocks shot off, so lampards challenge was ok the other week and crouch attempted gouge was ok then, double standards all together, now guthrie and gosling omg we are missing our two main centre halfs our two main centre forwards and our two main centre midfielders, hold on tight tonight, if pardew continues without giving the youngins a proper chance then we can only at absoloute best get one point tonight, hes got to play fergie and vucic in my opinion gosling is like guthrie wont go forward with the ball just runs up and down the pitch, i cant remember him touching the ball since he has been here apart from a poke in the net, talk about not looking forward to a game if pardew goes krul simpson santon willy perch jonas guthrie gosling guthrie best and shola we cannot possibly win this game, we are a top 7 team with all our players fit, this team i have picked would see us relegated we need vucic and fergie playing , if he goes looking for a point again we will get beat. am so pissed off with last sats game for starters, get positive like you said you were when you came and give the youngsters a chance cos gosling has shown nothing and guthrie is no better than alan smith sideways balls all the time, fekn FA.
From nufc.com:
Unsuccessful previous acquisitions told that they won't receive new contracts include Swedish goalkeeper Ole Soderberg and his fellow countryman Samuel Adjei, Faroe Islander Joan Edmundsson and Hungarian defender Tamas Kadar – the latter of whom was on the bench at Brighton.
Local lads left looking for new clubs meanwhile include strike trio Phil Airey, Ryan Donaldson and Dan Taylor, midfielder Greg McDermott and defenders Patrick Nzuzi, Jeff Henderson, Stevie Folan and James Tavernier.
Guthrie is not really adding anything on the RW.
We have tried it before mate 🙁 didn't work.
Guthrie is very good in a #8 position in midfield, but he needs to have a #6 beside him to do the defensive dirty work 🙂
Who is our best defensive midfielder, now that Cabaye is out? And Tiote is at the ACON.

No a single can deny the fantastic and crucial role Milan Macala has played above the years with our Omani national group. He has improved our expertise and tactics substantially and as a consequence, we certified for the Asian Cup finals in 2004 for the very first time below his reign. Even though this may possibly not seem to be a great achievement but to us it was an impressive one. Because then, Oman has grow to be a fearful group in the area if not in all of Asia and has climbed up in the FIFA ranking technique.

Interesting morning
Sat down to talk with my first client of the day, a woman in the Southwest who is dealing with overwhelming smoke from the Arizona fires. And here's where it gets interesting -- about 15 minutes into our session, MY smoke alarm started beeping.
There's more to the story than that, as I had to figure out ways to calm down the dogs (who were freaked out and trying to crawl into my lap), plus maintain connection with my client, and connection with the message that was trying to get through to her. Not so easy just to disarm the alarm, since it resides at the log at the peak of my two-story ceiling.
All in all, a very Uranus-Mercury-square moment, now resolved and blessedly quiet again. Except for one of my dogs, who is very affected by such things, and is now hiding out in the downstairs kitchen. She started doing better after I put drops of Rescue Remedy on her head, but will take some time to recover.
The message from the event itself probably has many levels. But what is striking to me is that confirmation that we are ALL connected energetically. Call it coincidence that my smoke alarm battery went out as I was talking to a client about the smoke surrounding her house, but that one's a little too striking to ignore.
I hope your day goes a bit more smoothly, but with new awareness of something of importance in your life.

Back in 2000 when there was a major GC alignment with the Earth and our Sun, I experienced a huge dimensional shift. It was as if a tap had turned on. I think the same thing is going to happen in December of 2012. This time I am really, really ready for it.

Most inventions come from problem solving. Someone wants to do something or not have to do something, or find a way to be even lazier than they are already. This is not an accident. This is how inventions come about, because people want their lives to be better and easier.
Some of the greatest inventions and ideas have been stumbled upon by accident. Most people think that inventions occur just because someone wanted a better way of doing something, but that isn't always the case. Some people invent things because of circumstances that happen, things that they never really even pondered before.
Many of the world's most important inventions were created by accident. Penicillin, microwaves, Coca-cola and X-ray images are just to name a few of these inventions. However, if the people wait around and sit all-day then nothing will get done.Investing in technology and innovation projects will increase the chances of developing a fantastic product.

One of my favorite hobbies is doing watercolor collages. They are really pretty simple. The one above was done a couple months ago. I painted four separate sheets of watercolor paper with various colors in a sweeping motion. I outlined a few tree trunks in pencil on a large piece of watercolor paper and brushed lightly back and forth across them. After everything dried, I glued the four background sheets to a piece of craft paper, then I cut out the tree trunks and positioned them on the background sheets. Voila! That was all. In a frame behind glass, they look just 3D enough to be interesting. One of my favorite things about this method of art is that I can play around with background and foreground images without commitment. I don't glue anything down until I am happy with the way it looks.
This watercolor presented a problem. I did this as part of a workshop to practice painting spheres and giving them directional highlights. However, I didn't like the way the finished product looked. So. . . I cut out some of the spheres and painted a new background for them.
Better, huh?
I did this project to enter in an exhibit in Lexington. The theme of the exhibit is visual music. I painted all the elements of the piece separately. For the trees, I Mod Podged pages from an old hymnal onto watercolor paper and them painted over the music. See detail below:
For the one above, I outlined tree trunks again and painted them, then cut them out. I painted some scrap pieces of watercolor paper with different colors and cut them out as well. Then they had to be glued onto the pre-painted background. Simple, right?
Give it a try. You can do it 🙂

Why the Apple Watch will be a Hit. Flop Not
I keep seeing analysts coming on CNBC arguing/ positioning themselves, making a case why the Apple Watch will be a flop. The reasons are largely the same- the technology isn't ready, the battery has the potential to run out in 2.5 hours if used continually, a lack of interest amongst those originally polled who stated they would be interested in the watch, that it will only be Apple loyalists (of which there are plenty) who will drive initial sales, etc etc.This is all in juxtaposition to CEO Tim Cook's actions and words. He's continually expressing the utmost confidence in the watch, stating he couldn't imagine life without it, stating that its capabilities will far surpass what we're expecting.
When Apple fell following a quarterly report deemed "lackluster" by Wall Street, and Apple fell precipitously to a post-split $72 a share (about $500 then,) Cook used Apple's massive treasury to buy back a ton of shares. He stated, and I'm paraphrasing, "I'm surprised by the drop in our share price. I know what we have coming out. I want to be aggressive at these prices."
Some pundits like Jeff Macke from Yahoo finance stated that he was considering unloading his shares as the only conceivable way it didn't fall through the then price of $500 was because Apple was artificially keeping the price afloat with their buying.
And today, where do shares sit? In excess of $875 (pre-split) … And why? Because the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were massive hits, destroying all expectations.
Have any of these pundits put on a watch/ played with it? Nope.
When Apple announced the iPad analysts poo-poohed it as merely a bigger version of the iPhone. Up until then, no one was interested in tablets. Guess what, Apple got the recipe right, people purchased in mass, competitors quickly copied.
If today's naysayers are wrong, no one will really remember. If they're right, they get to crow about it. From a career perspective as a paid pundit, there's more upside to being the contrarian and demonstrating how smart you. (Note: I'm not saying there's no downside to being wrong, it's simply outweighed by the upside, which a strategizing analyst looking to build a business will likely take into account)
Yes, I realize that Mr. Cook has every reason to build the hype, to put the best spin on the subject. But so far he's been very credible, and careful with his choice of words; from renewable energy to buying back stock at the right time, to his faith in the iPhone 6.
Plus, for God's sakes, he's worn the watch!
Hey, maybe Tim Cook is willing to sacrifice some of his credibility for the hype machine and a couple extra sales. I'm betting he's not.Look for the iPhone 6 to be the first hit in the wearable market space.

Why Harrison Robinson?
Firstly we have looked at what is missing from the market place today. We have listened to what customers want and empathised with their frustrations when dealing with agents in the past and present.
We are of course embracing new technology, social media, ground breaking marketing and website, but this stands for nothing if we don't listen to our customers and give them what they want not what we or our new systems want.
Each and every customer is different; their reasons to put their property on the market are just as varied. We listen , we advise, then we will offer a bespoke service which gives them the comfort they require to trust us to sell their property, whether that's the ability to log on and see the progress of their property on line at midnight or to call in for a coffee and a chat at our new Ben Rhydding offices.
We are passionate about service. Many agents offer a choice of silver, gold and platinum service; at Harrison Robinson we only offer one level of service and that's our BEST for that individual client.
Our business is built on honesty, trust and straight talking advice to our clients
Many agents make unrealistic claims and rash promises, which only leads to delays and frustration in achieving their sale.
If you fancy a breath of fresh air come and talk to us.
Greg Harrison has lived in the Wharfe valley area all his life and has a strong personal knowledge of the local area and property market. "My goal is to use my experience, passion and drive to offer the highest level of professional service to all our customers"

Personal Safety Intervention Orders
An application for a personal safety intervention order can be made in the Magistrates' Court - under the Personal Safety Intervention Orders Act 2010 - where a person fears for their safety, because of the behaviour of another person who is not a family member.
If the dispute is not violent, and there is no risk to the safety of a person or their property, then mediation and assistance from the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria (DSCV) may help.
If a person has been subject to stalking behaviour, violence or threats of violence, then a personal safety intervention order may help.
What is stalking?
Stalking is when a person does something repeatedly that causes another person harm or to fear for their safety. A person can stalk someone by following them, contacting them, putting things on the internet about them, hanging around outside their home or work, or acting offensively towards them.
What is prohibited behaviour?
Prohibited behaviour includes:
- assaulting someone
- sexually assaulting someone
- continually harassing someone
- repeatedly and intentionally damaging or interfering with someone's property
- making a serious threat to kill or injure someone.
If someone has stalked you or they have committed prohibited behaviour towards you, then they may have committed a criminal offence. If you believe someone has committed a crime, you can report it to the police.
What is a personal safety intervention order?
A personal safety intervention order is a court order made by a magistrate in the Magistrates' Court. An intervention order protects a person from someone who has threatened their safety.
An order has a list of conditions that tell the respondent what they cannot do, including stopping them from contacting or threatening the protected person, coming near the protected person or their home, and from damaging their property.
There are two types of personal safety intervention orders:
- An interim order – an urgent temporary order that can protect the protected person until a magistrate can hear all the evidence and make a final decision
- A final order – a longer term order made by a magistrate at the final hearing.
Who can apply for a personal safety intervention order?
An application for a personal safety intervention order may be made to the Court by:
- A member of the police force
- The affected person
- If the affected person is an adult, any other person with the written consent of the affected person or with permission from the Court
- If the affected person is a child –
- parent of the child
- any other person with the written consent of a parent of the child or with permission from the Court
- the affected person with permission from the Court if they are of or above the age of 14 years.
- if the affected person has a guardian
- the guardian
- any other person with permission from the Court.
Where can I apply for a personal safety intervention order?
An application for a personal safety intervention order can be made at any Magistrates' Court location in Victoria. This includes the Neighbourhood Justice Centre. See court locations for more information.
What should I think about before going to court?
To get an intervention order you go through a legal process and must go to court. Make sure you have all relevant information before applying for an intervention order. You may want to think about other options to an intervention order before going to court. If you have a non-violent interpersonal dispute, you may want to try mediation. If it is appropriate, the court will encourage you to try mediation before proceeding with your application for an intervention order.
Mediation can be used to resolve a non-violent dispute. The Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria provides a free, mediation service. The mediator assists parties to talk about their issues and work out solutions. Parties can make their own agreement that will work for them.
There are many advantages of mediation including:
- you have more control of the outcome.
- it will be less stressful, costly and timely than a court case.
- you are more likely to reach agreement.
Not all disputes are suitable for mediation including:
- pursuit or predatory type stalking
- a real risk of harm, threat or violence
- if the police apply for the intervention order.
For more information, see the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria's suitability guidelines for mediations.
Is a personal safety intervention order a criminal matter?
An application for a personal safety intervention order is a civil matter between parties unlike a criminal matter, which is between the State of Victoria and an individual.
If a personal safety intervention order is breached (that is, the conditions of an intervention order are not followed), the respondent may be charged by the Police with a criminal offence for breaching the intervention order.
The penalties for breaching an intervention order are serious and may involve imprisonment for up to two years.
Can a personal safety intervention order be appealed?
A party to an intervention order proceeding may appeal to the County Court of Victoria against an order of the court, in the proceeding, or a refusal of the court to make an order (a relevant decision).
An appeal against an order of the President of the Children's Court of Victoria must be made to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
An appeal against a Magistrates' order must be lodged at the Magistrates' Court within 30 days of the order being made.
Extending, varying or revoking an intervention order
The court may make an order to:
- extend the duration of an intervention order (this application must be made before the original intervention order expires)
- vary the conditions of an intervention order
- revoke (cancel) an intervention order.
An application to extend, vary or revoke an intervention order may be made by any party to a personal safety intervention order. Respondents must seek leave of the court before making an application to vary or revoke.
Contact the Magistrates' Court where your matter is listed or your nearest court.
Contact details for all Victorian Magistrates' Courts are available under Contact Us

Australian vice chancellors have rejected new quality checks proposed by the federal Higher Education Council and have called for a single, simple set of performance indicators that might be used to improve institutional efficiency.
The Australian Vice Chancellors' Committee urged the council to abandon a plan involving a highly complex set of 80 quality- performance indicators.
A 13-page draft matrix setting out the indicators alarmed the vice chancellors when they saw it, not only because of its size and complexity but also because the council gave them two weeks to check the data for their institution and add any figures that were missing.
The matrix covers five "key" areas: teaching and learning, research, community service, management and equity. The indicators range from demand for undergraduate and postgraduate places, credit transfer arrangements and the number of international students, tostudent retention, growth in research income and the upgrading of staff qualifications.
The vice chancellors, however, saw the matrix as too impossibly complex to be useful in comparing institutions or recording changes in the sector over time. They also complained that the bureaucratic demands on their own staff to supply information were too heavy and costly.
An AVCC spokesman said the vice chancellors were bemused that both the council and the federal education department were developing separate performance indicators for quality assurance.
He said that the committee would be happy to work with the department in producing one set of indicators and would prefer the HEC to scrap its plans.
After Victoria's vice chancellors complained to the state minister for tertiary education, Phil Honeywood, he called on the federal government to instruct the council to revise its proposal. Mr Honeywood then wrote to the new federal education minister, David Kemp, seeking to have changes made in the matrix.
"Vice chancellors expressed concern to me about the complexity of the draft quality matrix which will simply bog institutions down in paper work," Mr Honeywood said. "At a time when the government says universities should have greater autonomy, the council is demanding excessive information from them."
The range and volume of detail required by the council would produce a document that local or foreign students would find impossible to use in choosing a university course, he said. It would be much simpler to restrict the matrix to eight or ten nationally and internationally agreed indicators of performance.
Early in 1994, universities were outraged when the then Department of Employment, Education and Training produced a five-page chart detailing the "diversity and performance" of the sector. The chart set out 50 indicators for all institutions and these covered students, staff, finances and teaching and research, but institutions complained some of the data was misleading.
In the council's latest matrix, several new performance indicators were added. These included the intake and distribution of new staff and the proportion of "equity groups" among them; access to libraries expressed as the ratio of available study seats to students numbers; international interactions and international visits or exchanges; and community partnerships ("formal partnerships that are of mutual benefit or of predominant benefit to the institution").

Posting this in Home Cooking, since the recipes will be from and intended for home cooks. But it's also a process / media question in that someone (not me personally, thank goodness, although I may volunteer to assist) will need to receive, edit, format, categorize and (hopefully) index the book.
Have you participated in assembling a community cookbook? What sort of a timeline was involved? This project is in the very early planning stages, with hopes to have it available for distribution a year from now -- realistic or a pipe dream?
Edited to add - recipes are expected to be submitted in electronic files, but not sure whether we'll be able to (or even want to) have a template for formatting by submitter or whether we'll need/want to take free-form Word documents and edit them for layout/publication. Advice or experience hints on that?

Judge delays hearing on probation revocation
A district court judge has continued a hearing until January on whether to revoke a former Basehor city employee's probation.
In March, Jennifer Srubas, a former Basehor assistant city clerk, pleaded no contest to misuse of public funds stemming from her employment with the city.
As assistant clerk, she was responsible for handling utility bills and municipal court costs.
In exchange for her plea, prosecutors dropped a felony theft charge. Srubas received an 18-month suspended sentence, was placed on probation and repaid the city $15,000.
Leavenworth County prosecutors scheduled the hearing to consider whether a judge should revoke her probation after they learned Srubas had pled guilty in November to misdemeanor theft charges in Johnson County.
The Johnson County charges stem from an incident in which Srubas was caught attempting to steal 40 pounds of seafood, valued at $800, from a Wal-Mart in Shawnee. She was placed on 12 months' probation in Johnson County.
Leavenworth County prosecutors said Srubas did not inform her probation officer about the Johnson County case against her.
The parole revocation hearing will be at 9 a.m. Jan. 9 in Leavenworth County District Court.

Are you stressed out at work? Are you desperately cramming for exams? Or do you feel like there aren't enough hours in the day?
If so, you've come to the right place!
Stress affects us all at some point. While it can be easy to shrug off stress in some situations, prolonged periods of stress can make life incredibly tough. If you're struggling, try some of these natural stress-busting solutions.
Exercise improves strength and stamina, but it can also be incredibly beneficial for your mind. Working out distracts your attention and helps to clear your mind and reduce tension.
Whether you go for a jog in the park, or you hit the gym hard, you'll feel better after exercising. When you train, your body releases endorphins, which give you a natural mood boost.
At the time, your knees may be weak and your cheeks bright red. But after you've stretched and cooled down, you'll notice that feel much more content. If you're new to exercise and the idea of hitting the treadmill is terrifying, there are loads of other options out there. Hire a personal trainer to advise and guide you, join a tennis club or sign up for some dance classes.
Anything that gets your body moving and enables you to channel your energy constructively will be beneficial. You can read more about the benefits of exercise at http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/pa-health/
Do you ever get home at night and think that you haven't had a minute to yourself all day? Are you constantly on the go? If so, meditation may be an ideal solution.
Meditating enables you to enjoy a period of peace and quiet for reflection and contemplation. Some people prefer to meditate in silence while others like to listen to soothing music. You can join meditation sessions or meditate alone. Some people also find meditating with crystals soothing and up-lifting. Lapis lazuli, for example, can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels.
If you're interested in finding out more, visit this site, http://accessgems.com/lapis-lazuli-meaning-healing-energies/.
It may sound obvious, but if you're not getting enough sleep, you're likely to feel stressed.
Your body needs rest to recover and prepare for the next day. Stress can make sleeping difficult and soon, you may find yourself in a vicious cycle. If you are having trouble sleeping, try to make sure that you take time to relax before you go to bed.
Run a bath with aromatherapy oils or scented candles. Do some yoga stretches or breathing exercises. Read a book or listen to some music. Try and establish a sleep routine, so that your body gets used to going to bed at the same time each night. Block out noise and light and leave tablets and laptops downstairs.
If you continue to have problems, consider visiting your doctor.
Stress is part and parcel of life, but it can get the better of us. If you're struggling to cope with stress, try these natural solutions. Take time out, relax and make sure you're getting enough sleep. If you feel like you can't cope, don't hesitate to seek advice.

Significance Of Remote Controlling For Any Business
Business owners are looking for ways that they can introduce to their companies to make businesses more competitive. The IT industry has seen major growth which has led to the introduction of remote monitoring for businesses. Remote monitoring is the use of devices to track network operational activities for the management to see how operations are being carried out in the institution. This reduces the effort and the expenditure that is required to achieve the desired results and at the same time reduce the network downtime. The business gets to be notified what is happening on different sites and respond on time. A company that invests in remote monitoring can gain some benefits which include. Visit
RMM Software Comparison
Remote monitoring increases efficiency and saves time. It enables you to utilize time and money which later leads to the overall efficiency of the system. The company gets to allocate their funds in more important places instead of engaging them in tracking and compiling information about the assets of the company. The computers can be monitored in a particular network and make all the information visible on a single console. This makes it possible for It professionals to access all the valuable information at no extra expense without spending much time trying to get some information.
With remote monitoring, it helps keep the company always on the watch and get instant alerts in case the network gets any hiccups. This helps the company to get alerts in case there are any network irregularities as soon as they are detected. The IT administrators compel them to work immediately to avoid downtime and stoppage in the production process. If there is no close monitoring of the networks in use when downtime occurs, it may result in costly issues that may be very expensive for the company to handle. Learn about

Monitoring remotely saves a lot of time to the IT administrators. The administrators can get essential insights about how healthy the network is and notify them on any areas that need improvement. The company can manage to track what is happening to all their networks without making any movement. The applications are also kept up to date since the company can keep making improvements where necessary. The remote monitoring enables businesses to enjoy business security in different sectors that include network security, employee security and the overall security of the business assets.
Having remote monitoring in the business helps in minimizing disruptions in the business. In most cases, all networks are likely to fail at some point. When the downtime lasts longer most of the customers may be lost especially those who are not patient. When one has installed business monitoring all the network problems can be detected as soon as they occur and be rectified. This helps in improving the performance of the customers' experience.

Gave Discount tv a call and within two weeks I'm now the proud owner of a Champaigne coloured A1 - and it 'only' cost me £1725 as well!!! And no, before anyone asks. I don't work for Discount TV. I'm just a very satisfied customer!! Moons.


text: Went to Saravana Bhavaan (in Sunnyvale) last Friday evening - what a great scene. Full of local Indian families, generating a general good-time din. Orders were filled immediately, even when the restaurant was full. I noticed that in the time our group of 5 completed dinner, tables around us went through three similar-sized groups. The food is plentiful and delicious. I had ghee pongal - a rice dish with peppers and cashews, and onion bhaji, with a mango lassi. My son had an immense dosai which he - a fairly picky guy - really liked. Others had dinner assortments of breads, rice and curries. Dinner for 5 was about $50. It still looks like CoCo's inside, but the food and scene are very different - really a gustatory and cultural feast.

A schoolboy needed the help of firefighters after getting a metal washer trapped on his finger.
The boy of seven was taken to accident and emergency at North Tyneside General Hospital yesterday afternoon after his finger began to swell.
Nurses at the hospital tried putting ice on the finger to reduce the swelling but called in crews from Tynemouth Fire Station when the washer would not budge.
Firefighters were forced to use pliers and a hacksaw to remove the one and a half inch ring of metal and praised the youngster for remaining calm throughout the delicate operation. A brigade spokesman said: "The boy was suffering from a lot of discomfort but was extremely courageous while fire crews cut off the washer."

The Cross Country State Championship was held on Saturday, Nov. 4, at St. Olaf College in Northfield.
Blue Earth Area Buccaneer sophomore Grant Strukel qualified for State and placed 27th out of 176 runners with a personal-best time of 16:49 in his second consecutive State meet appearance.
"Grant improved by a superlative 27 places and 20 seconds from his '16 showing," said head coach Tom Plocker. "He was much more relaxed and confident in his second trip to 'the big dance.'"

Plocker shares Strukel started well, cruising into 45th place at the 1-mile mark. He then climbed through the ranks gradually to 35th place in the remote second-mile loop.
"With 600 meters to go, Grant charged down the hill and unleashed a big surge to the finish, claiming the No. 27 spot, just two places away from All-State honors," says Plocker. "He was Section 2A's No. 4 finisher and also earned academic all-state honors as a result of his Section finish and quality GPA."
Beth Stevermer, a senior at United South Central, also earned a spot at the State meet and placed 37th out of 174 runners with a time of 19:57.

Mirena is putting a damper on my sex life already and I have only had it for a little over a month. I have been reading alot of posts and blogs about it and i am getting kind of scared. My bleeding is sometimes really heavy and i get bad cramps. This has been going on since the 1st of the month, almost 2 weeks. Has anyone else had problems with mirena? Should i deal with it?

After some consideration and consultation, I decided to raise the deck 1", and go with the design Ocean Cockpit. Sometimes, I just have to make up my mind-I can build all the kayaks I want!
Per recommendation, I made form extensions. I also saw that if I kept the same shape on the sides of the extensions, it looked like a "wall" rising up from the sheerline, so I rounded the corners off a little. It seemed that three form extensions were adequate for a fair deck curve. The 1" lift looks considerable, and it looks like quite a drop down to the rear deck level.
I joined two 3/8" strips together at the center line. One 3/4" strip looked almost good, but I wanted to bevel slightly on the forms that are curved. The usual array of clamps and tape.

I said, I'd like you to do something with me in a shower naked for my last episode of my last show. And she said, ok maybe. The agreement was you were gonna come up and you were gonna be nude. And I was gonna be nude," Chelsea said.
"No. never. I was never ever gonna be nude. There was never an agreement of me being nude. Ever. Never. In your head, I was nude," Ellen responded.

Disability Insurance
Physicians and Dentists
Own Occupation Disability Insurance for Physicians
Own Occupation Disability Insurance for Physicians
Physicians should buy the disability insurance policy with the best definition of disability available in order to protect their income. The amount of time and money a new physician has invested in his or her career is staggering. The average new physician racks up $166,750 in medical school debt, while earning an average income of $270,000.1 Although many physician incomes have decreased in recent years, they still account for a preponderance of six figure income earners.2 Given the income earning potential of physicians, it's critical that they buy the correct type of disability insurance to protect that income, and associated education debt.
A disability insurance policy that protects someone in their own occupation has traditionally been the best type of policy available. These "own occupation" policies mean that if, due to sickness or injury, you can't perform the material and substantial duties of your specific occupation, you may qualify for benefits, even if you can work in another occupation. Guardian and its subsidiary, Berkshire Life Insurance Company of America, through their new Provider Choice policy series is enhancing this definition for physicians, making it even more attractive and comprehensive.
The new Provider Choice policy offers an own occupation definition of disability with enhancements designed specifically for physicians. This Enhanced True Own Occupation language is unique in the marketplace, and is tailored to physicians in all medical specialties. When you're buying a policy, that policy is better when it is as specific as possible, offering you more benefits in more situations.
Enhanced True Own-Occupation with language designed for physicians:
If Your Occupation is limited to a Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy and more than 50% of Income is earned from Hands-On Patient Care, We will consider You to be Totally Disabled even if You are Gainfully Employed in Your practice or another occupation so long as, solely due to Injury or Sickness, You are not able to provide Hands-on Patient Care.
If Your Occupation is limited to a Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy and more than 50% of Income is earned from performing Surgical Procedures, We will consider You to be Totally Disabled even if You are Gainfully Employed in Your practice or another occupation so long as, solely due to Injury or Sickness, You are not able to perform Surgical Procedures.
This new enhanced true own occupation definition of disability is different from the traditional own occupation definition, as it provides more ways to qualify for benefits. Under the older own occupation definition, there was no language specifying income from hands-on patient care. In many situations, this lead to a claim being payable as a residual claim; whereas, in the newly enhanced language, there is a much greater chance that this claim could be considered under a total disability, therefore paying 100% of the monthly benefits rather than just a portion.
The following chart gives a few examples of how the newly enhanced true own occupation language could consider a claim. Under traditional own occupation language, these examples would very likely be residual claims, and therefore not pay 100% of the monthly benefit.
|Pre-Disability Sources of Income
(Waiting Period)
|Post-Disability Capabilities
|Under Our Enhanced True Own-Occupation Considered
|Employment Options While Totally Disabled
|• 60% from surgery
• 40% from patient care and office visits
• Cannot perform surgery
• Able to diagnose and treat patients
|Totally Disabled (full benefits) because more than 50% of income came from surgical procedures and he or she can no longer perform those due to disability.
|Each physician, while eligible for total disability benefits, can choose to be:
• Gainfully employed full time or part time anywhere, even in his or her practice/business,
• Not gainfully employed
and still receive his or her full total disability benefits.
|• 100% from hands-on patient care and office visits
• Cannot diagnose and treat patients
|Totally Disabled (full benefits) because more than 50% of income came from patient care and he or she can no longer do that due to disability.
|• 100% from specimen evaluation
• Binocular vision impaired
|Totally Disabled (full benefits) While unable to qualify under the enhanced formula, he or she would qualify based on the inability to perform the material and substantial duties of his or her own occupation (True Own-Occupation) due to disability.
Berkshire has always had coverage that protects physicians in their chosen specialty. With the introduction of Provider Choice, they have enhanced that coverage to provide for more ways to qualify for benefits than any other carrier.
If you are a physician in training, or in practice already, you should protect your income, and student loans, with a disability policy that not only protects you in your medical specialty, but also does so by offering you more ways to qualify for benefits than any other policy.

Enoch Ryl'ithra
Page 1 of 1 • Share •
Enoch Ryl'ithra
Name: Enoch Ryl'ithra [Foretold Serpent]
Sex: Male
Age: 215
Physical Age: Roughly in the early 40's
Race: Kamen
Occupation: Future Tailor Made Bouncer
Hair Color: Dark chestnut brown with slivers of silvery gray.
Eye Color: Gold with slit like pupils.
Height: 6'6
Weight: 237lbs
Body Type: Elegant and lean but with muscular definition as well as broad shoulders, long torso, limbs and neck.
Glamour: Enoch is viewed as a well lived middle aged man with light, caramel colored skin and wisps of gray in his short and wavy military styled hair. His eyes turn a pale shade of green and take on a natural pupil which gives him a striking and exotic appearance.
True Form: Out of glamour, Enoch retains features of his age which are slight signs of fatigue and wrinkles at the eyes. His hair remains the same in color, however it grows considerably longer, almost reaching his waist. The eyes shift to a brilliant gold and take on a more reptilian slit pupil. Certain parts of his skin take on snake like properties as well such as scaled skin around the eyes and along the ridge of his spine. Faint hints at longer 'belly scales' mark his torso and there are patches of skin that only harbor the pigmented patterning that snake skin possesses.
Personality: As a boy, he always had a tendency for recklessness and disregard for social norms. This created a less than admirable personality for his time which had him sent to the Roman Legion for reformation. This molded him into a respectable, mature adult with a passionate, gentlemanly nature and strong sense of self. He has a high tendency to speak his mind with little awareness of others or insulting them. In the presence of strangers or in what he perceives to be important circumstances, this is generally how he is however, in secrecy or comfort, his insatiable desire for risk and danger shows. He almost becomes so focused on it he can be seen as suicidal in comparison. This side of him is easily triggered and dangerous to himself and others since he loses any sense of 'preservation for life' and views it as humorous.
