The UN's Jewish Problem...
Anne Bayefsky on the latest report from the UN on so-called Israeli abuses.
Since 2001 the rapporteur, South African lawyer John Dugard, has relished the assignment of reporting from only one side. In his latest report Dugard unashamedly acknowledges: "The Special Rapporteur's mandate does not extend to human rights violations committed by the Palestinian Authority." Previous rapporteurs complained of the restriction, and one resigned on the ground that his task had become an obstacle to peace.
This year, from his UN platform, Dugard laid bare the real agenda. The two-state solution, a Jewish and a Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace and security, is passé. One state - or the demographic elimination of a Jewish state - is the goal.
"Interlocutors within both Israel and the West Bank warned the Special Rapporteur that with the two-State solution becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, consideration should be given to the establishment of a binational Palestinian State. The demography of the region increasingly points to such an outcome."
Also in Dugard's fall 2005 report:
* trivializing Israeli casualties
"There have been over 200 attacks by non-State Palestinian actors against Israeli targets but few casualties have resulted from such attacks."
* refusal to describe Palestinian acts as "terrorism". In order to avoid it, he coins the term "terrorization" which he only ascribes to the specter of the sinister Israeli.
"...there is increased pressure on the part of the settlers to drive out their Palestinian neighbours by a process of terrorization.... Schoolchildren are beaten and terrorized by settlers on the way to school and wells and fields have been poisoned. Crops have been destroyed, sheep and goats stolen and poisoned. The police and IDF do little to protect cave dwellers, peasants and shepherds in this region."
* little effort to disguise his underlying concern is really with Jews. He worries about "transform[ing] Jerusalem into a Jewish city." The image of a "Jewish city" is intended to conjure up the image of Israeli racists ridding the land of non-Jews, despite the fact that there are no Israeli cities from which Arabs (who comprise 20% of the population) are excluded.
* the word "allegation" is inserted before detailed description of Israeli crimes, which he then makes no effort to verify
"Allegations of torture and inhuman treatment of detainees and prisoners continue..."
* checkpoints materialize in thin air. He refuses to make the connection to the terrorism that preceded their creation.
"Checkpoints in both the West Bank and Gaza continue to seriously undermine the freedom of movement."
Undermining freedom of movement by blowing up buses full of men, women and children on their way to work or to school is left out.
* constant repetition of the UN-formula that the cause of all Palestinian hardship is Israel
"...the humanitarian crisis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory resulting from the occupation and the construction of the wall"... "Repeated IDF incursions have resulted in the destruction of water and sanitation infrastructure."
Causality flows in only one direction. Israel is the perpetrator, Palestinians are the victim. Omitted from the fairy tale: there have been successive Arab attempts to destroy Israel since its birth; the occupation of disputed territory is a result of one of many such wars; the construction of the security fence followed Palestinian terrorism (terrorism which the fence has significantly reduced); the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are responding to an actual threat to Israel's civilian population.
* At the very end of his 19-page report Dugard adds six sentences about Palestinian treatment, not of Israelis, but of their own people. He "expresses the hope" that the death penalty used by the Palestinian Authority in the case of five prisoners was an "aberration." He could not manage to mention the fundamental violation of Palestinian rights – the decades-long use by Palestinian terrorists of the civilian population as human shields.

2And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
That's gotta be one big family if you don't know your own brother,
3In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
And really, you should steer well clear of your brothers ass.
4Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
No, I am still going no where near my bro's ass.
5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
So cross dressing is a no no ......What about unisex clothing ? Besides as an impoverished English biker I know that wearing a couple of pairs of tights under your jeans is a cheap way of keeping your legs and wedding tackle toasty during those cold winter months.
6If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
But its ok to murder parents and children as long as they live nearby ??????
7But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
What the fuck is a dam anyway besides a construction to retain water ?
And my partner knows all about retaining water.
8When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
The style of city houses in these times required entry through the roof a wall surrounding the roof was a good idea.
9Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
Fair enough
10Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
Otherwise you would be ploughing in an ever decreasing spiral till you disappeared up your asses or ox's ass.
11Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
That's a blow to the fashion industry.
12Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
That has completely passed me by any ideas anyone.
13If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
That'll be about 90% of married men.
14And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
That'll be about 98.8% of married men
15Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
Tokens of the damsels virginity, what's that letters from any number of males declaring they have not fucked her ?
16And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
Ah ! now I think I understand. Until fairly recently, maybe 200 years or so it was the custom in some parts of england that the bride was gathered up by the village and carried to the marriage bed, a bed with spotlessly clean sheets the groom was also thrown on to the bed, the following morning the sheets would be examined and blood from the loss of her virginity was expected.
I am not sure as I cannot remember were I got this from but I think if there was no blood then the marriage was void.
18And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
That I believe is as near to women's rights as it got.
19And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Wow sexual equality at its best. Just think if girls if your new husband had a little dick(as is implied as a family trait of the family of Abraham) and you laughed you could be stoned if he did not make you bleed on your wedding night.
22If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
So .... does this mean if someone catches someone raping someone they both must die ?
23If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
Betrothed../...wife surely there is a difference
25But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
So if a girl goes out with the intention of being raped she had better do it in a field.
26But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
So if she is not betrothed (promised by her father to someone) and she is raped and he is caught for the princely sum of fifty shekels, he keeps her as his wife. Well thats fine as long as the father profits and don't go forgetting the levites cut.
Surprising and also sickening a variation of this horrible practice still continues today in Ethiopia
What was said in verse 5 again ?
By the way . This is not me.(Wrong shade of pink).

Project Examples
The following projects have been carried out in the last 3 years. For a full record of my experience please contact me for further information.
Monitoring Slope Stability for Scarborough Council, North Yorkshire.
Scarborough Borough Council's local coastal monitoring programme extends along the length of its North Yorkshire coast from Staithes in the north to Speeton in the south, a distance of approximately 68 km. Coastal settlements include Runswick Bay, Whitby, Knipe Point, Scarborough, Killerby and Filey Flat Cliffs, most of which have defended frontages. Most of these coastal defences are now ageing, in poor condition and are subjected to an aggressive wave climate. Furthermore the defences are backed by coastal slopes which show evidence of both instability and climatic denudation. These factors, together with environmental considerations of predicted climate change scenarios and sea level rise, focus the need for constant pro-active attention in order to minimise the potential risks to the public and coastal assets of the Borough.
Coastal monitoring equipment has been installed at various locations within the Borough and regular readings have been taken and recorded.
Working for Mouchel I managed a project which reviewed the existing documentation and analysed and interpreted the monitoring data. A strategy was prepared to undertake monitoring to provide early warning and enable appropriate targeted remedial resources. Monitoring was carried out from 2009 and is currently ongoing. The monitoring stragegy included a specific 'wet weather' response where monitoing frequency was increased during periods of higher risk of failure.
Julian delivered a paper on the project at the Ground Engineering Geotechnical Monitoring Conference in London in March 2010. Copies available on request.

Glyn Valley Slope Stabilisation
The Glyn Valley is a steeply sided river valley through which the A38 runs between the River Fowey and a main line railway higher up the valley side in Cornwall . The 20 m high slope to the river comprised weak materials which were failing to support the road.
Principal Inspection for the Highways Agency identified Class 1 defects
and Class 2 areas at risk (HD 41/03). The defects occur in:
- An environmentally sensitive area
- Physically constrained site requiring road closure to carry out the works
- Limited 'operational window' due to summer holiday traffic to carry out site works
- A ground investigation was carried out which comprised rotary boreholes, trial pits and a geophysical survey.
While there were no statutory ecological constraints for the scheme significant environmental mitigation measures were consideration needed to be taken of protection of a spawning river for salmon, a bat population, and visual impact.
The preferred option was an 'embankment buttress' to the valley slope at either 1 in 2 or 1 in 3, but this could only be achieved for part of the defect because of environmental and physical constraints.
Working at Mouchel I designed a composite solution to take into
account environmental and physical constraints which comprised three
- A buttress embankment to support the existing slope where space at the valley floor allowed.
- A gabion wall to allow localised steepening of embankment slope
- King Pile retaining wall with 'I' beams installed in to the underlying rock to allow retention of vegetative cover for 420 m of the total 840 m length
Gabion wall used for part of the road support above the River Fowey.
Installation of king piles during night time working on the A38, required where there was insufficient space for gabions or a soil batter

Combe Down Stone Mine Stabilisation, Bath, UK
The Combe Down Stone Mines Project is a major project by Bath & North East Somerset Council to stabilise abandoned limestone mine workings in Combe Down and address the Health & Safety issues in the area.
There are in excess of 300 residential properties, as well as schools, churches and community facilities overlying the mine.
Julian working for Mouchel was appointed to the Government funding body, English Partnerships (Homes and Communities Agency), to oversee the project's compliance with economic, ecological and Health and Safety constraints.
The mines are located in the village of Combe Down, within the World Heritage Site of the City of Bath and cover an area of approximately 6.2 hectares.
Julian was a technical advisor to English Partnerships, checking that Best Practice and Value for Money principles are adhered to by the appointed contractor to ensure that the project, the largest in the Government's Land Stabilisation Programme, is managed within the constraints of time and cost.

Temporary tunnel support for Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Tunnels MTR, for Donaldson Associates Ltd.
Temporary design was undertaken for an expanding mass transit railway system which required tunnelled sections. The temporary lining comprises both rock dowels and steel fibre reinforced sprayed concrete installed in the shaft walls. Forepoling and steel arches were required in areas of poor ground where the bedrock granite has decomposed to various degrees by weathering. The density of rock dowels and thickness of sprayed concrete is determined using the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute 'Q'-method.
Stabilisation of underground mine workings below London Penzance railway, at Gover, Cornwall,
The possible presence of old mine workings below the track requires an initial investigation and subsequent design of stabilisation measures. A geotechnical ground investigation was undertaken in 2010 to identify the ground conditions along a section of Network Rail land near Gover, St Austell. Mouchel supervised the drilling of thirteen boreholes, one trial pit and one trial trench during site works between the 21 September and 02 October 2009. This was further backed up by a more detailed survey in May 2010 with geophysics (density, GPR and magnetometer) by Fugro and confirmatory boreholes. The purpose of the site investigation was to identify the depth to bedrock in locations either side of the mine feature to aid in the plugging and capping design.

Sean Graham / American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
A cottonmouth, also known as a water moccasin. A new study shows cottonmouths and other vipers can harbor easterm equine encephalitus virus
Snakes may provide a winter hiding place for a virus that's causing an unusually severe outbreak in the U.S. northeast this year, and this could be good news for control efforts, researchers said on Monday.
They found eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE for short) in cottonmouths and copperhead snakes and said it's likely the reptiles incubate the virus while they hibernate over the winter. When they come out in spring, mosquitos feast on the snakes and then pass it to birds.
The study, published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, explains why EEE keeps coming back in northern states where mosquitos hunker down for the winter and where many birds take off for warmer climes. "There must be a way that the virus manages to overwinter. We think it's the snakes, because they do overwinter in these sites," said Dr. Thomas Unnasch of the University of South Florida, who led the study.
Eastern equine encephalitis is rare but highly deadly – it kills about a third of victims who develop the worst symptoms -- and there's no cure for it. Survivors often have permanent brain damage. It infects people, horses and birds along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Michigan and Ohio. Usually there are only about six human cases a year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but seven people in Massaschusetts have been affected this year alone. While there is a vaccine for horses, there is not one for people, and two have died this year from EEE.
It's a year-round threat in Florida but further north it doesn't start affecting horses or people until late summer. Unnasch and colleagues have been trying to figure out why for years.
"You know how they used to say follow the money? We followed the mosquito," Unnasch told NBC News. Female mosquitoes spread the virus as they look for blood meals to nourish their eggs.
In the summer, it's clear, the virus infects birds. They don't get sick and their bodies get rid of the virus after a few days, but because there are so many birds the mosquitoes keep it circulating. "You have a pretty good, high concentration of mosquitoes then that have this infection," Unnasch says.
"Now all the birds decamp for the winter. They migrate. You have these ladies running around, these mosquitoes, and they can't find their favorite hosts, the birds and so they feed on whatever they can find." That's when humans and horses are at risk.
Scientists couldn't figure out what other animals were harboring the virus, so they tested the blood in infected mosquitoes. It turned out that mosquitoes infected with EEE had often just feasted on snake blood. How? "Right around their eyes," Unnasch said. The membrane that covers a snake's eyes is soft and mosquitoes can feed there.
Tests on cottonmouths in the Tuskeegee National Forest in Alabama confirmed a fairly high percentage were infected with EEE, as well as at least one copperhead. It doesn't make the snakes sick and they seem to stay actively infected for months on end, Unnasch said.
So when it gets cold up north and the migrating birds leave, the snakes are still infected with EEE and they hibernate. In the spring, newly hatched mosquitoes feed on the snakes and get infected. "They act as the Typhoid Mary of the virus," Unnasch said.
Copperheads are related to rattlesnakes and there are plenty of both in the north, Unnasch noted.
This is actually good news for control efforts, Unnasch says. "What usually happens is we pretty don't worry about this too much until it jumps out and starts infecting humans and horses," he said. That's usually late in the summer, when the mosquitoes get desperate enough to bite people and horses.
Public health officials may be waiting until too late to try to control the outbreaks, Unnasch said. "They'll go out spray like crazy and try to control the mosquitoes." But it's expensive then.
But if the virus is only beginning to escape in spring, it might be cheaper and easier to go to the swampy areas where the snakes are hibernating, and spray for the relatively few mosquitoes that are around then. "You might be able to interrupt the viral amplification cycle," Unnasch said, "You might be able to do ounce of prevention, which is better than a pound of cure."
Is there a lesson here for West nile virus, another mosquito-borne infection that's causing an unusual amount of trouble this year? CDC reports 3,545 cases of West Nile virus disease in people, including 147 deaths. Unfortunately not, says Unnasch -- West Nile is not related to EEE and while it passes from birds to mosquitoes to people, it has a different cycle of infection.

Use this Samaritan Woman at the Well Sunday School lesson to tell the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman.
Needed: Bibles, a volunteer to play the Samaritan woman (you can read the Samaritan woman's part, if you want), empty bucket for a prop
Needed: Bibles, a volunteer to play the Samaritan woman (you can read the Samaritan woman's part, if you want), empty bucket for a prop
Lesson: (Note: Always allow students enough time to think about and answer the questions before clarifying the teaching.)
Ask students, Who is someone that people from your country don't get along with very well? Is there anyone that your country or group fights against a lot?
Who are some people that Christians don't get along with very well? Is there anyone that Christians argue with or have to fight with?
(Have students read John 4:4-42 or read the following script as a summary.)
Samaritan Woman: (carrying bucket) Hello, everyone! I am a woman from Samaria and I want to tell you about the time I met Jesus. It was noon and I was out getting some water from the well. I always went out to get water at noon because I knew it was too hot for any of the other women to come get water at the time. You see, I didn't want any of the other women to see me at the well because I knew they would make fun of me. I was kind of the bad girl in town.
Anyway, I went to get some water in my bucket from the well and this man, Jesus, was sitting there. He asked me if I would give him a drink from the well.
I could see that He was Jewish and I, of course, was a Samaritan, so I was surprised when He talked to me. Jewish people and Samaritans don't get along very well and they never talk to each other unless they have to. So I said, "Why are you asking me to get you a drink? You're not even supposed to talk to me."
Then He said that if I knew He was and if I knew the gift that God wanted to give me, I would have asked Him to give me a drink. "Because," He said, "people who drink the water from the well will always get thirsty again. But I can give people living water, the Holy Spirit, that will fill you up forever and give you eternal life in Heaven."
So I said, "Okay, then give me some of that water!" I thought He was joking so I was joking back with Him.
But then He said, "Go get your husband and come back. Then I'll give you the living water."
I felt bad then because I didn't have a husband and that's what I told Jesus.
But He said, "You're right. You don't have a husband. You've been married five times and now you're living with a man you're not even married to."
I didn't know how Jesus knew that about me. I knew it was bad of me to have had so many husbands and to be living with someone before I was married, but I was just so amazed that Jesus could know that. I said, "Sir, you must be a prophet. Tell me: Where am I supposed to worship God? Can I worship God here in Samaria or do I have to go to the Temple in Jerusalem?"
He said, "It doesn't matter where you worship God. But when you do worship Him, you have to worship Him in your spirit and in truth. You have to mean it in your heart when you worship God."
Then I said, "I know that the Savior is coming some time. When He gets here, He will explain everything to us."
Then He said, "I am the Savior."
I knew He was right. I could tell that He was the Savior, so I dropped my water bucket on the ground (drop bucket in amazement) and ran back into town. I didn't care who saw me now, or whether they made fun of me for being bad or not. I just ran around the village, knocking on people's doors and telling them that I had found the Savior.
All the people from my village came out to the well to meet Jesus then, and a lot of them believed in Him.
That was the day I met Jesus and it was the best day of my life.
Review Questions:
Jesus was Jewish and the woman He met was a Samaritan and Jews and Samaritans usually don't get along. They usually don't like each other. They usually don't even talk to one another. But did Jesus talk to the woman? (Yes.)
Jesus didn't care if the woman was a Samaritan. Jesus loved everybody the same. That shows us that we should love everybody the same, too. It doesn't matter if someone is white or black or Mexican or Muslim or from another tribe or another country or anything. We should love everybody and treat everybody the same, just like Jesus did with the Samaritan woman.
How did Jesus know that the woman had been married five times? (Jesus knew everything about her.)
Do you think Jesus knows everything about you, too? (Yes.)
Jesus knows everything. He knows everything we do, everything we think about, everything we feel inside. Jesus knows everything.
Where does Jesus say is the best place to worship God – in Samaria or in the Temple in Jerusalem? (Anywhere.)
Jesus says that you can worship God anywhere as long as you mean it. You can pray to God or sing to God wherever you are. In your room, outside, in church, anywhere, and God will hear you.
After the woman learned that Jesus was the Savior, what did she do? (She went and told everyone else in the town about Jesus.)
And that's what we have to do. We know who Jesus is. He's the Savior, the one who saves us from our sins and died on the cross so that we can go to Heaven when we die and not to Hell. So it's our job to tell other people about Him so that they can believe in Jesus, too.
So let's remember to love everyone the same, just like Jesus did, and let's tell everyone about Him so that they can believe in Him too.

In exploring genius-ness we can also look at the ways we're currently using our energy, time, and resources. We explored this in February at my life coach training and I just ate it up! It's about looking at the ways in which you currently use your energy, doing some investigative around different zones, and committing to living more in the zone of genius.
In The Big Leap, Gay Hendricks writes of four different zones:
1. The Zone of Incompetence
2. The Zone of Competence
3. The Zone of Excellence
4. The Zone of Genius
The zone of incompetence is made up of activities that you're simply not good at. I agree with Miss Danielle LaPorte that being "well rounded" is just a little over rated. I know that I don't excel at certain things. I'm ok with it. Call it incompetent, call it what you want.
For example, I'm a hot mess when it comes to "setting things up." I can barely work the TV remote. I despise setting up computer and printers. I can pretty much bank on a boatload of frustration when I have wires in hand that rely on me plugging them into the right hole in order to work.
Another example is keeping the studio clean. Terrible. Horrible keeper cleaner of the treehouse I am. For a while I insisted on doing it (because I struggled "justifying" paying someone else to do something I could do). It didn't get done often enough. I didn't do a good job. I didn't enjoy it.
Finally I got it. Someone else is a genius at cleaning. That is the thing they totally rock. Just so happens that one day at the treehouse I saw a car with a sign on the door that read "OCD Cleaning". I met Debbie in the parking lot and she's been cleaning the studio since then.
Tuesday she was cleaning the studio. I was happily writing. Before she left she walked all around the studio floor. Seeking out any last lil dust bunnies. Looking for any spots that were not shiny and sparkly. She does this every time. I see where the OCD part of her cleaning comes from.
I deeply deeply appreciate her. She is a genius at something I'm incompetent. I just love that.
One more example (cause I'm clearly incompetent in more than one area) is moving furniture. Last week Andy and I helped BFF and her husband move furniture in the nursery (they have a baby girl Ruby coming!). Andy and I have both come to realize we're pretty incompetent when it comes to moving furniture. It's a good thing we're both relatively strong, cause our minds most definitely don't work in the way of angling, turning, and maneuvering furniture. Not. At. All. Thank god we barely owned any furniture when we bought our first house in Texas. With no outside help, we probably would have ripped half the walls down. Plus we get frustrated in the process and have a tendency to use all sorts of colorful four letter words. It's not pretty. If we ever leave the big blue house we'll need movers.
Your turn......
What are the things you're simply no good at?
What are the thing you don't enjoy?
What do you insist on doing that others can do better?
Next we have the zone of competence. These are the things you can do, but others can do them just as well. It's taken me a good amount of time, yet slowly but surely, I've been delegating the things that I'm just competent at (mostly in my work life). Two things come to mind for me in this area. One is paperwork that accumulates at the studio. Thank god our paperwork is mostly just a one page waiver. It would likely me an utter mess otherwise. Sure, I could enter the data into our software. Not a problem. But I procrastinated. It didn't get entered in a timely fashion. I didn't enjoy it. I didn't enjoy it. Did I mention....
I didn't enjoy it.
This is something I've delegated. Again, so deeply thankful for this.
Quickbooks and general accounting I also put in the category. I can do it. I'm competent. But it's the same as data entry to me. I'm amazed by some people in this area. Again, BFF is a genius at this. She has a business. Her book-keeping, Quick-booking wizardy skills are ahhhmazing. Pure genius. Not a surprise, her checkbook stays balanced to the penny. If she's off by five cents she can't rest until she knows where the error is.
Really? I'm amazed that people like this even exist because it's so far out of my range.
What are the things you insist on doing just because you can?
It might be as painful as having a tooth pulled, but damnit...you can do it. Mama didn't raise me not to do something I'm fully capable of doing. God gave me hands to use them, right?
Yep, all conversations I've had with myself. I'm over it.
What are the things you are doing in which you are on auto-pilot, just going through the motions?
Lastly, how much time and energy are you spending in the zones of incompetence and competence?
{Seeing that this post is getting rather long, I'll save the next two zones and write on them this weekend}
Have a delicious weekend Friends. Cheers to you and your genius-ness.

Except for the benefit of the record store I don't do Facebook or any other social networking. It just doesn't interest me and my time is short enough without getting involved in all that nonsense. Yes, I do sometimes find myself wondering what became of certain people from my past, especially old school friends, and I know such as Facebook might help me reconnect with some of them, but I just will not go down that path. I spend way too much time sitting at computers as it is.
But now and again I simply stumble into information explaining the fates of characters from days gone by, which in some ways makes it all the more rewarding. I've learned that a few have become successful businessmen and -women, moved abroad, had kids and all the usual. A couple have passed on and others are exactly as they were, but thirty-five years older. On occasion, however, their lives have been full of drama. I can never forget, for example, discovering what became of my mild mannered, skinny, bespectacled school friend, Peter Glibbery. It's an incredible story, and Peter doesn't appear until the 19th paragraph at the end of that hyperlink, but it's well worth your time.
And then today, on the BBC website, I was sorry to read the tale of Chris O'Neill. Despite a tug-of-war over a girl, with whom he resurrected a relationship last year, he and I were pretty close friends throughout school, and for a few years after until life took us in separate directions. I have two particularly vivid, wildly contrasting memories of Chris: he passed out at a UFO concert we attended together, and he was a fantastic long distance runner. But now it seems his running has come to an end, at least for the next three years. What a fucking idiot.

- Lightweight

- Flexibility
Modular Exhibition stalls and stands can be configured to a wide array of different sizes and layouts, allowing you the flexibility of using the same hardware to display in different looks and sizes.
- Easy To Store And Ship
Installing and dismantling modular exhibition booths is extremely hassle-free, and their makeup enables you to pack them back easily in their customized cases. These easy to store and ship stands can even fit into the boot of a car when properly packed. Even if you decide to airfreight them, their light weight makes their freight cost extremely pocket-friendly.
- Fits All Budgets
Modular exhibition stands come in extremely flexible designs, which translate into the fact that they can be bought in a wide array of configurations, depending on the budget and sizing needs of the exhibitor.
- Great looks
With well-designed graphic panels and great lighting, these stands can be designed to stand out from their competitors by resembling expensive customized trade show booths. Modular exhibition stands can be designed to incorporate all the flair without wreaking havoc on your wallet.
- Reusable
All modular exhibition stands purchased from reliable manufacturers are highly durable and last for many years. You can replace any damaged part individually without compromising the integrity of the unit. If an exhibitor aspires to be seen as innovative and an out-of-the-box thinker, all they have to do is simply get new graphics printed and designed for each new trade show they are going to attend.
- DIY Installation & Dismantling
All manufacturers worth their salt provide you with top-notch modular exhibition stand kits which are both hassle-free to install and dismantle without getting professional help. It only takes a couple of people to set up these booths, sometimes without even needing professional tools. Lighting and graphic panels can be clipped on after the booth is set up.

A wedding day goes so quickly. It's a fleeting time full of nerves and to-do lists and last minute tasks, and ultimately the excitement and reality of the fact that you are getting married TODAY gets lost in the craze. This collection of images by Mike Cassimatis Photography from the For the Love of Film workshop helps to tell the untold story of a bride the morning of her wedding day, full of anticipation, overwhelming love, and quiet reflection.
What is your approach to boudoir photography?
My approach to boudoir, as well as other forms of portraiture, is to try to capture more than just what's physically in front of my lens. When you can capture emotion it adds so many layers of depth to your imagery. I've found that by taking the time to really get to know my clients, they trust me enough to show their true emotions in front of me, without hesitation.
What challenges have you faced as an artist?
I think my biggest challenges come from within. I find myself constantly striving to be better at every aspect of what I do. Whether it's the images themselves or the business side of things, I'm always wanting to improve. While it's definitely a challenge, I believe that feeling of never being quite satisfied is what drives me.
Boudoir imagery is powerful. How do you see it positively impacting women?
In a country where women are constantly bombarded with messages of how to look or how to act, boudoir imagery celebrates everything that makes them unique.
What do you consider the difference between boudoir and fine art boudoir?
I think there is a certain level of sophistication and elegance that goes along with fine art boudoir. Fine art boudoir images neither embarrass nor offend, but rather transcend physical beauty and showcase what's within that makes one graceful.
Outside of photography, what other sources do you draw inspiration from?
People, art, nature, music, movies, life experiences and memories... I have found inspiration in all of these. That's why photography is so much more than just learning how to use a camera. Everyone's experiences are different and so we all see the world in a different way. Photography allows us to capture that unique vantage point.

French wine routed through bulk wine trading company Raphael Michel is under investigation for an alleged multi-million-pound fraud operation involving as much as 30 million liters of the alcohol.
It is alleged that cheap red table wine was being relabelled and passed off as a premium wine.
Head of Raphael Michel, Guillaume Ryckwaert (39), was arrested at the end of June and later released on a €1m bail and placed under supervision. He is facing charges of fraud, deception, and violations of France's consumer and tax codes. It is understood that other senior managers were also taken into custody but were released without charge.
Ryckwaert stands accused of masterminding the racket since October 2013 where it is alleged that around four million cases of low-quality table wine were rebottled and sold with labels purporting to be premium wine from the Rhone region, including Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Cotes du Rhone.
The bottles were being sold for as little as £20 and for as much as £100.
Estimates suggest that up to 40 million bottles may have been sold since the scam began with many reaching other European countries, including the UK.
A number of retailers in France, including supermarket chain Carrefour, have canceled supply contracts with the wine trader, according to local media reports.
No winemakers from the Rhone region have been implicated in any wrongdoing.
Raphael Michel, one of France's largest bulk wine traders, based in Piolenc in Provence, sources wine from more than 4,000 growers in the Rhone Valley, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, as well as South America, while it supplies to countries including Australia, South Africa, and Europe.
The company has posted exceptional sales results – up to 30 percent increases a year – since Ryckwaert took over the business in 2003.
The alleged counterfeit operation first came to the authorities' attention last year when French customs officials found discrepancies in a routine audit, which sparked an investigation. According to reports, paperwork filed by Raphael Michel revealed inconsistencies and potential violations.
Deputy prosecutor Jean-Francois Mayet told Wine Spectator that the case could drag on for more than a year and suggested that based on the volume of wine handled in the fraud, more individuals could be implicated in the scam, saying there are other people in the company who will need to be questioned.
Ryckwaert denies any wrongdoing. French media reported his lawyer Olivier Morice saying that the chairman, who has stood down during the course of the investigation, had many 'jealous rivals' who might have wanted to affect the business' success.
Meanwhile, media reports say concerned Rhone producers have joined the prosecution as a civil party.
According to a statement, the Syndicate of Vignerons of the Cotes du Rhone at Cotes du Rhone-Villages, the region's winegrower's union, is now taking civil action against Raphael Michel and has been speaking to winegrowers who may have been victims of the fraud.
"We are aware of the grave allegations against the company, Raphael Michel. It is unthinkable for us to not be part of a procedure that directly endangers winegrowers, including those we ensure to protect. We will not let our vineyards be victims of fraud, nor our AOC [protected designation of origin certification] be derided," said Philippe Pellaton, president of the union.

But we don't have many good spots close to our town. Magic Wood is too far (2h), Sustenpass and other higher situated areas still closed, at Schöllenen it's all done and Wassen has not a big variety. So I decided with my good friend and godfather of my son Lien to spread Murgtal... a nice and quite little spot, which is well known because of some publications, but rarely visited. And this despite of some really good and hard problems up there.
|a picture from about 2004... looong time ago ;)
Now in early spring it's just possible to climb the lower areas. The upper sector is closed through a barrier and will open somewhere in May (usually)... depending on the snow up there. But also the "Steibrächer"-sector and a few other small areas offer many good stuff to climb.
During a first check by end of March, I was able to climb some nice lines between 7a and 7c. I was still not in my best shape, after I had a longer period with less climbing, because of the birth of my second son Inea. Sure... I restarted climbing now since a few weeks... but i'm still on the way back and it's getting better and better with every day on the rock.
To my big surprise, just a few days later I had one of my best days ever. I didn't climbed ultrahard routes, but was able to send three nice routes in one evening session.
- Romance Killer, 7C... a hard one with an intense shoulder-crux
- Happy Housewives, 7C+... where I messed up a "second go" ...and as a last at 10pm
- an unnamed 8A-shield from Fred Nicole at my third try...!!!
Unbelievable! I never expected such a good effort. But it seems that i'm back on track. Three hard lines in one session is quite impressive... especially because of the fact, that I don't feel GREAT at the moment. However... such "magic days" are quite rare and i'm very happy with it. :)
One weeks later then (10. April) the confirmation. This evening I was able to finish my FA-project "Oblivion". At our first visit it felt almost as hard as "Second Life, 8A+" in Chironico, but on this evening I climbed it on my second try. So it has to go down to 7C+...
Afterwards I wanted to check out my second FA-project at Murgtal. But to get a comparison for the grade I went to Gu's new lines "M'raut, 7C+" and "Humorist, 7C+". Despite I hoped to stick one of these lines too... I almost sticked both of them. But at the "Humorist" I got a bad cut on one of my fingers and had to finish for that day.
By hook or by crook it was a great evening again with two 7C+'s. And now I think that this grade should be the right one for "Oblivion" too.
|Oblivion (FA)
I'm wondering that it was never climbed before. But be aware about the fact, that I'm not really sure about this. For me it was a logical line and completes the existing 7C... it's definitely not the nicest one, but absolutely worth to climb it with very nice moves.
Here a vid with my ascent. Sorry for the bad quality... but it was already quite dark and I had to brighten the video, so that it's possible to see something. ;)

GREEN BELT land holds the key to Southport's future development, but a great debate rages on the use it should be put to.
Campaigners want to protect it citing long term health benefits but without new homes the borough as a whole is predicted to fall into economic and population decline.
The question remains whether we should build our way to prosperity or wait to see if the economy improves before investing in new homes.
These issues have come to the fore this summer in a Sefton Council document called the Core Strategy.
It earmarks where and how many new homes should be built.
Three options are put forward:
NO Green Belt development with 270 new homes built each year in urban areas
BUILDING continuing at its present rate with limited Green Belt development and 480 new homes built each year
650 new homes built each year up to 2028, with 6,600 homes on the Green Belt
Southport property consultant of over 30 years John Barnes said: "We need economic growth, stimulation and investment going forward.
"In the case of Sefton it is not widely known that the population has been declining for many decades and that associated with the Core Strategy it should be understood that all three of the options do not in effect generate positive economic growth.
"Even if a preferred option is accepted for Green Belt release specific sites will still be subject to individual local planning applications."
Mr Barnes added that it was crucial to have the option to build if needed.
He said: "This 15 year process would be carefully managed throughout with the Green Belt release if at all required being when other priorities have been exhausted.
"People often concern themselves with specific sites close to their homes and say for example that any development on Green Belt will reduce the value of their houses.
"This is often not the case and in principle economic growth and modern property will usually raise an area value, and clearly if the local community economy and national confidence improve then house prices normally follow in any event.
"We must therefore carefully consider the greater good of community and development of housing and affordable housing in this way."
John dismissed fears over a potential drop in food production if farmland was build on, saying it would be a very small net amount if any in practical terms.
Addressing the argument that Sefton already has a large number of unoccupied homes he said a higher than average elderly population meant houses could often be unoccupied due to long term sickness or care.
Sefton Green Party called on the Core Strategy to put equal emphasis on development as well as the wellbeing of the people of Sefton.
Laurence Rankin, the co-ordinator of the Sefton Green Party said: "The Core Strategy will have a major impact on people's lives in Sefton over the next 25 years, so it is vital that it achieves a better sustainable future for everyone.
"Building homes and businesses is one key element of that future, but we also need to emphasise the health and wellbeing of our residents and the protection of our natural environment."

Are you planning on making a trip to someplace that you've never been before? If you intend to visit a new location that is exotic and different, it is important that you prepare in advance so that you're able to make the most of your trip and handle any challenges that may arise.
With that in mind, there are 4 important ways that you may want to prepare for your trip:
Do your research
Needless to say it is important that you know as much as possible about the place that you're visiting including its culture and customs, travel guidelines, and any information about food, accommodation, travel, weather and other essentials. Official sources of information are good on this front, as are travel shows, documentaries, and other sources.
Learn the lingo
If you're traveling someplace where a different language is spoken, you should try to learn the lingo. While you probably aren't going to be able to master a new language in preparation, you should be able to at least memorize a few key phrases such as 'hello', 'thank you', and 'good bye'. Additionally you may want to bring along a pocket language guide or have an app on your smartphone that can help you get your point across.
Plan the sights that you want to visit
Based on your research, you should come up with a rough plan that outlines the sights that you want to visit. Start by listing the various places of interest that you think you'd like to visit, then try to figure out the transportation that may be required. In some cases you may find that it helps to group together sights that are nearby so that you can cover them all – especially if they are far away from your accommodation.
Take important information with you
It is always a good idea to take any important information with you on your trip. To do that you could jot down the information in a small notebook, or put it on your smartphone or some other mobile device. In fact you may even want to save travel shows that you think would be useful to take with you.
If you aren't sure how to save online travel shows, you should try using Movavi Screen Recorder. It can be used as a Flash video recorder that will allow you to capture any online streaming videos, so you can save and transfer them to your mobile devices.
Rest assured it is easy to set up and record online streaming videos with Movavi Screen Recorder, and it won't take you long at all. Once you've saved the travel videos, you can store them on your smartphone or mobile devices so that you can refer to them – even when you're on your trip.

Yesterday I spotted a show on Polish tv that was set in an amazing interior with fantastic colorful setting. The show is about women. Intimate questions are asked and man-woman topics are raised by a male journalist Piotr Najsztub.
Like I said, what I liked most though was the eclectic setting and I immiediately started to look for more photographs on the Internet. The program takes place in a postindustrial XIX-century interior of Soho Factory in Warsaw, where gigantic windows give a lot of light and brick walls create the perfect background for the interviews.
There aren't lots of objects used for creating the set, but the overall is just exquisite. Soft and fury sofas together with the carpets contrast with raw and harsh interiors. Two beautiful velour yet very different sofas are facing each other. The green with a folk floral upholstery is for the journalist, the other, quite funny and of XIX-century form (it may be also antique and redone), with contemporary quilted upholstery of this deep shade of red wine - for the guest, usually a beautiful woman. You can clearly see without saying which one of the sofas is for the journalist and which one is for women. Cubicoid table is of the same quilted textile that the red sofa. Colors of the carpet are again the colors of the sofas, the pillow repeats green sofa's shade as well, even the apples' colors match!
The whole, repeating the same two colors, could be boring but thanks to this interior - is not. The monotony has been broken with huge abstract multicolor paintings hanging on the brick walls and industrial metal lamps (plus a fan).
The photos I found obviously focus on people, not the set. Try for a while NOT to look at the beautiful women and concentrate on the design of the interior :-)
...photos from the set...
|Every detail matches. Look how beautifully the light comes in through the windows!
|Grass carpet + sofa with roses = extramixture
|We can see how high and spatial is the interior.
...and now a little bit nearer...
|I would love to have that painting at home.
|red and green apples to match the rugs :-)

Tangerine/Orange Sesame Chicken
I got this recipe originally from the wonderful, amazingly talented Angie who hosts the fun Fiesta Fridays from her delicious blog, The Novice Gardener, you can find her post here – Tangerine Orange Sesame Chicken
If you are not a Fiesta Fan already but love cooking or at least eating, or in fact looking at beautiful photography, please pop by her blog, it's well worth the time, I promise you ;-D
Now if you also are interested in trying this recipe, take a gander at her version, because as much as I have re-iterated the bulk of info her's in fact gives much more information than mine.
Now seriously I had never made a batter before and well I did what most men do when they buy Ikea furniture (hides from any men now), I didn't read the instructions properly. I totally missed that there were TWO batters and that there was a SAUCE…oh my!
What did I do?
I somehow managed to read ingredients from both batters, reading them as one and made some kind of hybrid batter.
I then got out a mini fat fryer that my mother had as new, I point out at this point she passed away some years back and the thing had never been used.
It was missing the handle which at the time I did not think important but oh boy it is very important when trying to prize congealed chicken and batter off the metal basket, which without a handle to lift it out and fat spitting at you is a pretty scary experience.
Also there were no instructions and the lid was cracked, so a lot of hissing could be heard, I half expected a dragon to come flying out every time I lifted the lid or for the whole contraption to explode at some point.
For health and safety reasons it has now found a lovely home in the bin! Don't say I don't put myself in danger for you Angie… 😀
The fun didn't stop there, also at the last minute I spotted that there was a sauce, thinking my escapade over I gave a sigh of horror and got preparing again.
So folks please pop by her blog and read the 'full' recipe LOL.
Evidence of my cooking below – PS hers looks much better too!!
Tangerine/Orange Sesame Chicken – as written by Angie from the Novice Gardener
2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
Cooking oil
1. Cut chicken into bite sized or two-bite sized pieces.
2. Marinade chicken with the rest of the ingredients, except for the oil, for about 30 minutes.
The wet batter
This is a thin batter. You can dip chicken pieces in this batter and fry, without further dipping in the dry batter. It will create softer, less crunchy chicken. The choice is yours.
1 egg white
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1. Beat egg with a whisk until foamy and doubled in volume.
2. Add water and flours and whisk until smooth.
The dry batter (for dredging)
This step is what makes the chicken super crunchy. Again, whatever you prefer. We prefer extra crunchy!
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1. Combine all ingredients and place on a large plate.
To fry the chicken
1 Heat vegetable oil in a fryer or wok or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should reach at least 1 inch high inside the pan.
2. Working in batches, dip chicken pieces, one at a time, first into the wet batter, then roll or dredge on the dry batter.
3. Fry until golden and chicken is cooked. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
The sauce
1 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice (or substitute with orange juice)
1/4 cup chicken stock or water
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp finely minced garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp vinegar
2-3 tbsp sugar – alter to sweetness liking
1 tsp tangerine/orange zest
1 tsp sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp sesame seed oil
1. Place all ingredients, except for the sesame seed oil, in a saucepan. Whisk until well combined.
2. Heat on medium-high heat, while whisking continuously, until sauce is bubbly and thickened.
3. Add sesame seed oil. Only a dash of the strong stuff.
Thank you for reading, I hope you all had a fabulous New Year!
