Title: Looking For Some Touch
Author: K.Z. Snow
Buy link: Amazon.com
Genre: Paranormal Suspense/Urban Fantasy, BDSM, GLBT (M/M/M/M )
Length: Novel
Rating: 4.50 stars out of 5
Pablo Creed–amateur poet, professional whore, and upstanding citizen of the Utopian Metroplex of Regenerie–wants a new job. The all-male Coven of Three–a trio of mismatched wonder-workers who live in Regenerie's subterranean Undercity–needs a "Touch" to sexually spark its collective energy.
In danger of being assigned to a sadistic VIP client, Pablo applies for the position instead. He knows his way around the human body. He can do what they need. What he doesn't count on is his immediate, intense attraction to the gorgeous Win, one of the Coven's members. Or the immediate, intense hostility of Tole, another member, who resents that attraction. And he certainly didn't expect to be drawn into the center of a bizarre missing-person investigation that threatens his life.
It turns out the Coven of Three are not the magicians they seem to be. That revelation will either send him fleeing to the desolate Interzone…or taking a chance on the sublimely sensual Win, who's more unusual than anybody Pablo has ever known.
This is my first taste of K.Z. Snow's writing and immediately I realized why she is so popular. Her
characters are carefully crafted and her world building is phenomenal in this futuristic society which has clear physical demarcations between those who live in the Undercity and the Overcity. I was thrust into Pablo's world as he hung out with the other "givers," another word for prostitute, awaiting their clients. He had been working the streets for 6 years because at 24 he had no other employment opportunity.
Pablo was desperate to escape the clutches of one of his clients, a Vip who had beaten him badly during a one night stand and who had expressed a desire to have him assigned on a permanent basis as his personal giver which, if approved by Pablo's employer, the state, would mean the end of life as he knew it. He escapes to the Undercity to apply for a job as a Touch for 3 Magicians. It appears that they were really looking for a female as was made clear to him by Tole a member of the group who resents Pablo, but when Pablo sees gorgeous Win, one of the Magicians, his libido goes into overdrive and his feelings seem to be returned, to the extent that Win can experience human emotions. Turns out that the Coven of Three is much more than previously advertised and Pablo finds out that his new bosses were very powerful paranormal beings. Would this discovery be so devastating that Pablo would not want to stay in his new job?
This is not your usual run of the mill paranormal tale as it has futuristic elements as well. The thrust of the book is that three paranormal beings charged with keeping the peace need a human to keep them grounded, and help them understand the perspective of the people in their charge. The story had more than enough content to keep me engaged although I did wonder about the amount of detailed information in the book regarding this new world. I thought that the author did a good job defining the society in which Pablo lived through detailed descriptions of his environment, which was important early on in the story, but during the latter stages perhaps there could have been a little less telling and more showing. I would have liked more of the book devoted to the relationship between the four characters since the thrust of being a Touch was to establish synergy between Pablo, Win, Zee and Tole. This didn't happen until the end of the book and in my opinion it might have been more effective earlier on in the story and would have made this an even more incredible adventure. I wish to stress, however, that I found the plot quite original, engrossing and unusual and I really liked the characters.
My last comment is about Pablo the main protagonist in the story. On first reading of the book I couldn't understand why he would return to the same psychopath Vip who had beaten him (and who was his reason for running to the Undercity), just because he suspected him of a crime. When I re-read the book, it was clear that Pablo felt he would serve a greater good by returning since he didn't feel threatened by Pie Man, the Vip, because he assumed he could take him out as physically he was stronger, although in this case he was wrong. Following up on his hunch about Pie Man's real identity and his connection to the crime proved to have consequences he could not have foreseen.
To wrap up, I loved Looking for Some Touch. The characters were well drawn and three dimensional although Tole seemed a bit emotional for someone of his race. The sex moved the plot along and was hot, erotic and very innovative and the smexing was quite appropriate. The world building was some of the best I have read and the plot worked. However, as a reader I had to pay attention because the story was complex and the characters sometimes acted irrationally. K.Z. Snow did a great job on a unique story and I certainly look forward to other books in this world if the rumours are true that this is part of a series.
Update: Since writing this review I found out that Looking for Some Touch is Book 1 in a new series by K.Z. Snow (I should have checked) and that the next book, Seeking Something Wicked, will be released on February 24. I can't wait to read Book 2 as I really want to find out what's next for these characters to whom I became attached in Touch. I also now understand the emphasis on world building in Book 1, which makes more sense as it is important to give the reader more structure in a series because they will be returning time and again to that world. I have also updated my rating, based on this new information. Great job KZ.


text: Do you understand your duties as a director? 23 August 2017 Mariangela Nonnis 0 comments Share When launching and growing your tech start-up, it's important to remember your duties as a director – not only to avoid potentially costly breaches, but also to establish the foundations for successful trading. However exciting the challenge of developing your start-up and the technology that underpins it is, as a company director you have important responsibilities that also deserve attention. Understanding these responsibilities from the outset can help to avoid problems down the line. Your duties as a company director are set out in the Companies Act 2006. This establishes that company directors have some general duties that apply in all circumstances. The duties encourage sound business practice. Failure to act in accordance with them could potentially result in the payment of damages or compensation, or in transactions being rescinded. Promoting the success of the company All directors of solvent companies are required to act in good faith to promote the success of the company. In fulfilling this duty you are expected to consider a range of factors, including: the consequences of any decisions; the interests of the company's employees; the need to promote the company's business relationship with suppliers, customers and other parties; the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment; the company's reputation for high standards of business conduct; the need to act fairly as between members of the company. Duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence Every company director must also exercise 'reasonable care, skill and diligence'. The law explains this as meaning the care, skill and diligence that would be exercised by a reasonably diligent person with: the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the director's functions in the company; the general knowledge, skill and experience that the director has. You must perform your role as director to a high standard, to the best of your ability and accept the responsibilities and expectations associated with the role. Conflicts of interest The law requires company directors to avoid conflict of interests and you should avoid putting yourself in situations where your loyalties might be divided. You should also consider the positions and interests of your family in case of potential conflicts. You must inform your fellow directors of any interest you may have in a proposed transaction or arrangement the company is considering. If you disclose a conflict of interest, there is a process to authorise you to continue to act. It is also possible to address this issue in your company's Articles of Association. Note that your duty to avoid conflicts of interest continues after you cease to be a director in relation to the exploitation of any property, information or opportunity that you became aware of in your position as a director. The Companies Act also establishes that directors must not accept benefits from third parties – people other than their company (or a person acting on behalf of their company). Third party benefits might be perceived as giving rise to conflicts of interest, offered to you because you are a director, or for acting in a certain way as a director. Independent judgment The powers you have as a director (and the purpose of those powers) will be set out in your company's Articles of Association. Your powers as a director must not be controlled by others. You must always exercise your own independent judgment to make final decisions, but seek advice where necessary.

University at Albany, SUNY, Albany, NY
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
There is currently a significant clinical need for artificial salivary glands as a therapeutic option for patients suffering from xerostomia. To achieve unidirectional fluid secretion, the epithelial acinar cells must establish and maintain polarity by partitioning the plasma membrane into distinct apical and basolateral membrane surfaces to achieve unidirectional fluid secretion. Establishment and maintenance of epithelial acinar cell polarity has been difficult to achieve in vitro, and yet is critical saliva secretion in an engineered salivary gland. Physical properties of the scaffold provided to epithelial cells will likely influence their ability to differentiate and achieve apical-basal polarity. We have engineered nanofiber matrices using the biocompatible polymer, PLGA (poly-L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) having differing topology and organization and documented the structure of these scaffolds using SEM. We evaluated the effects of several factors on epithelial cell attachment, self-organization, and apico-basal polarity on the scaffolds using confocal microscopy to examine expression and organization of apical tight junction proteins, ZO-1 and claudins, and basal markers, such as integrin α6 and the ECM protein fibronectin. The surface of the nanofiber matrix was functionalized with chemically-linked ligands to further optimize apical-basal polarity. These studies will identify an optimal scaffold for future use in an engineered functional salivary gland construct.

Stuck at home with the kids on Valentine's Day? No problem sweetheart! I've got you covered. This is our second Valentine's day since we became the parents so Valentine's Day at home is something we both really do enjoy. Especially when there are no other options. Haha, to be fair here we're the kind of people who don't even celebrate Valentine's Day - but for the sake of marriage special evenings at home are crucial.
This is something I think I'm going to do this Valentine's Day. When the kids are asleep, you and your other half can gather around the table and enjoy some lovely "restaurant" like food. Though I'm not a chef and you probably are not either, it's those three meals (starters, the actual meal & dessert) that makes it feel like you're in a restaurant.
The Menu for the Valentine's Day
- starters: garlic bread, deep fried mozzarella sticks with tomatoes & basil
- the actual meal: tortilla pizza
- dessert: strawberry-marshmallow-chocolate sticks
If you want to be extra romantic, light up a few candles and bring some fresh roses on the table - yeah, it's a cliché but it's also romantic, isn't it? Oh, and put on some cheesy songs from your Valentine's Day playlist (I know you have one!)
This goes from a cliché as well, okay - basically any Valentine's Day date idea is a cliché but isn't the whole day one big cliché? A cliché that everyone loves? Or, well, at least most of us.
How to make a normal movie night a bit extra for Valentine's?
- candles, there can't be too many candles
- build a cosy nest kind of a thing in the middle of your living room or a tent! YES, A TENT! You know those tents you used to build as a kid and then your parents lost their minds when they had to clean them up. You're a parent now, you can choose to clean it up or let your kids play in there the morning after. A win-win situation for everyone.
- pick a movie that you both enjoy watching, it doesn't have to be a romantic movie
- cuddle up, make popcorn and enjoy!
Will you try any of these? Would you like to?

I think that we have to give love all time in a year! Love is love anyeway we don't need a day to show our love!ReplyDelete

Aw. Love this! We're celebrating Valentine's Day the day before. The day of, the restaurants are packed and things are so much more expensive! Maybe we'll do something like this on the actual day! :)ReplyDelete
You can't ever go wrong with a classic movie night in with candles food and of course LOVE! I hope you have an amazing Valentines Day this year!ReplyDelete
Sweet ❤ I think making a special little meal at home is a wonderful idea for Valentines. We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, (Riz says it's Valentines day every day, heh) but a special meal is a lovely idea. I might suprise him :)ReplyDelete
me and my partner don't really do valentines, some years we give each other cards but I was thinking this year I'll recreate my favourite date together ... when we as adults built a fort in our living room ate pizza and drank rum whilst watching movies, except this time we'll have our bug with us =^.^=ReplyDelete
I don't celebrate Valentines either but I do like a night in with this salad from this takeaway place and there is a desert place here called Piece of Cake. Yummmy. Then I like to binge something on netflix like The CrownReplyDelete
Definitely have to be creative when there are kids in the picture hey! This will be my first Valentines Day with baby!ReplyDelete
Even though I don't have kids I would still try these! It's definitely a cheaper option as so many restaurants here mark up the prices JUST because it is a special day. I'd rather prepare my own food at home and save our money for future travel or a fun splurge. :)ReplyDelete

If you're a Red Sox fan like myself, there hasn't been much to be happy about these last couple of seasons. To be honest I haven't been watching baseball lately (well I watched a little league game a couple of days ago but to be fair it was 1 AM and there was nothing on TV). When your team doesn't produce you often get discouraged and slowly step away from the sport, unless you're bandwagon fan and follow players such as LeBron wherever he goes. I have nothing against bandwagon fans by the way, I'm just not one of them; heck I've liked the Jets since I knew what football was. You know a time the Red Sox made me really happy? in 2004, I was with my family watching game 4 of the American League Championship Series while the Red Sox trailed 3-0 thinking, "why don't my favorite sports teams ever do anything exciting?" (I'm a Nuggets fan too in case you were wondering).
Well my prayer was answered when in game 4 David Ortiz hit his second walk off home-run of the current post season in the 12th inning. Of course I was optimistic, I was 12 and my team won in style (I was probably the only person in the room who actually believed the Red Sox would win the series). Red Sox won 6-4.
Once we got to game 5 I started to come down to earth a little bit, I believed my father liked the Red Sox and he did until they were down 3-1 in the ALC (bandwagon fan). This is honestly the first time I realized that to be a fan of a team you had to be committed and I've my life lived behind this experience. This game set a record for the longest post season game at 5 hours 49 minutes although the record was again broken the year after. Red Sox won 5-4.
Game 6 was history in the making. After winning game 6 the Red Sox were the first team in MLB history to force game seven after being down 3-0 to start the series. They were the 26th team in history to be down 3-0 in a series at the time. Of course the Red Sox won 4-2.
Game 7 – this was it, make or break did we come all this way to lose this game time? It was Wednesday, October 20th, 2004 at Yankees' Stadium. I can only imagine how many people bet on this game and how many betters lost their money in the series. Starting pitchers were Derek Lowe and Kevin Brown. David Ortiz, my favorite player was named series MVP. The Red Sox 10-3 won and riots broke out. Police officers killed one person in the madness RIP Victoria Snelgrove. I didn't know that at the time so it was one of the best days of my life. Of course such an experience would never be worth the loss of a human being.

Ever hankered for a ski hill haven for holidays, weekends or family retreat? For the past few years this hasn't been top of many people's budgets or bucket lists due to the economy. But with prices in nearby resorts still at rock bottom, this could be the very time to nab a modest mountain maison or chic but cheap condo.
Close to Calgary
Over the past decade or so, Canmore has seen a tourism trend spawning condos and upgrades all over the former mining town. Sotheby's Christopher Vincent says this is due to a move towards quick weekend getaways: "It's amazing how refreshed the mind is Monday morning when there is a weekend full of mountain activities that have taken you away from the stresses of the previous work week."
With Banff National Park out of the second-home market due to strict residency rules, Canmore is the nearest nesting for Ski Big 3 resorts. Although there has been a slight upturn recently, prices are still reflecting recession atrophy, says Elaine Archibald from Royal LePage Rocky Mountain Realty. A quarter share apartment at Silvercreek Lodge is less than half pre-2008 pricing; Canmore Crossing condos are down from $612,000 to $386,000; and downtown residential townhouses, originally valued at $965,000, have dropped to $675,000.
Chill on the hill
Further afield, British Columbia has seen a dramatic slump in recreational purchasing. Just three hours drive from Calgary, condos at Kicking Horse are $50,000 cheaper than pre-recession, starting around $299,000. And a studio in the prestigious Palliser Lodge can be snapped up for $129,900 right in the middle of a sophisticated ski resort with more than 120 runs over 2,800 acres of tantalizing terrain. Après ski is topnotch, too, with the gondola-accessed Eagle's Eye Restaurant providing decadent date nights right at the top of the mountain.
Family Fun
Less than four hour's drive from Calgary, Panorama is on the up after 15 to 40 per cent retraction during the recession. "We will have sold 25 to 30 per cent more properties this year than the year before," says Paul McIntyre, owner of Panorama Real Estate. But, despite this slight revival, fully furnished ski in/out studios at the family-friendly resort are still less than $80,000 and a two-bed condo is currently listed for $131,500. The luxury chalet market has contracted from $450/sq. ft. to $250/ sq ft.
"A nice feature of buying property at Panorama is that with the compact layout of the village, practically all the properties are within a two minute walk to a lift," says McIntyre who has lived there for 15 years. A real advantage for families who want to give their kids a little independence within safe parameters.
Best B.C. Bargains
For those willing to go the extra mile, savings are substantial. Rugged and remote Red Mountain (7 hours 16 mins from Calgary) is a realistic option for Albertans with home-on-the-hill hunger and a bit more free time. Real-estate recovery has been sluggish in this Kootenay corner of B.C. with prices on the ski hill now less than cost. "Lagging behind is an understatement," says VP of Red Mountain, Jim Greene. "You can now pick up a ski property for a song." Greene, who has been working in sales since 1998, anticipates the new Grey Mountain expansion will make Red even more viable for second-homeowners. "It's 1,000 acres of new terrain, the largest single terrain expansion anywhere in North America. With 2,800 skiable acres, Red is now the same size as Jackson Hole," he says. Brand new three-bed condos, originally listed for $650,000 are now going for $349,000 including a fully-furnished sweetener.
A Taste of the Tyrol
The seven and a half hour drive from Calgary to Sun Peaks transports visitors straight to the Austrian Tyrol — but without Euro inflation. The architecture in the ski-through resort was based on an authentic Alpine blueprint, attracting many Europeans for work as well as play. Appealing to skiers and golfers, Sun Peaks now has two-bedroom properties for $250,000 compared to $350,000 pre-2008. And at the opulent end of the spectrum, says realtor, Liz Forster, fully furnished chalets with revenue suites, garage, hot tub, mountain views, 10,000 sq ft lots backing onto forested ski terrain are selling for $500,000. With its year-round sports, cultural activities and K-12 school, the town draws families making lifestyle moves as well as vacation owners.
Bargain Basement
Big White, BC, is marking its 50th anniversary this season with new entertainments such as the "Sweater Ball" and a bubbly brunch. But while skiers will be celebrating, the real estate market there is less buoyant. "Recreational is the first thing to fall off people's wish list, the first thing they look to divest themselves of during recession and the last thing to recover," realtor Gary Turner explains.
At less than an eight hours drive from Calgary, Big White is bargain basement when it comes to ski in/ski out property prices. At the most affordable end, studios in the middle of the village, valued around $70,000 pre-recession, are now going for less than $44,000. And at the high end of the market, says Turner, prices are down 60 percent on 2008. A great time to invest in this winter wonderland of 7,355 skiable acres doused in 750 cm of snow annually with all the Okanagan summer activities on the doorstep.
Revelstoke Resistance
Not all ski hills are caving to the economy, though. Revelstoke is stubbornly sticking to pre-recession pricing at ritzy Sutton Place, the new development right on the hill. But in town, just a few minutes drive from the Revelation gondola, fixer-uppers are as low as $119,000, condos $129,000 and townhomes $269,000, according to Brendan Ginter from Revy Realty. "It's definitely a buyers' market here and the average home is selling at five to 10 percent below asking price," he notes.
Off the beaten track
Searching for ski accessibility, value for money, minimal renos, and summer suitability, Calgarian Gretchen Castronuovo took two years to track down the perfect holiday home for her family. The Calgary skier and dirt-bike rider ended up in Bellevue, Alta., halfway between Castle Mountain and Fernie. "Look with an open mind," Castronuovo advises. "Most of what we looked at were coal houses that probably were moved by horse-drawn wagon as many as 90 years ago." Finding a move-in ready, cute cabin in February, Castronuovo says she spends most of her spare time there. And, as an emptynester, she recommends it to attract the fledglings back to the nest for family weekends and holidays.

This book is the darkly creepy coming-of-age tale of Maren, a sixteen year old girl who literally eats anyone who shows her any affection. Maren's first victim, her babysitter, comes when she is only a baby. Her other victims are all boys who show an interest in her as she grows older - a boy from camp, the son of her mother's boss, etc. These boys are presumed missing and Maren's mother quickly packs them up and moves them away before the truth is realized. After years of moving, Maren's guilt-stricken mother abandons her on her 16th birthday. Maren embarks on a journey to find the father she's never known and meets others with her odd proclivities along the way. This is an entertaining, though disturbing, read. I was pulled in right away and read it quickly. I wanted to know where Maren would end up, if she would overcome her compulsion to eat people, what kind of relationships she would be able to build.
Maren is really struggling to find herself. How can she be a good person when she does such horrible things? How can she learn to live with herself? Can she ever have long-lasting, meaningful relationships with people? Can she accept love and affection from someone without ruining it? I love that Maren is such a sweet and good character even though she does these horrible things.
The plot was entertaining and the characters each original and interesting. There are no stereotypes here. All are flawed and just trying to make their way in the world - some with more decency than others. The ending resolves all of the major plot points but still leaves Maren's story open enough for the reader to speculate, or for the author to write a sequel.
This book can be read on multiple levels. I think many readers will enjoy this solely for its creep factor and because it's such an original idea. This book will also appeal to the thinking reader. By that I mean the reader who is looking for more than just entertainment. There are lots of discussion topics here: the loneliness of adolescence, losing yourself to love, the roles our biology and genes play in who we are, the ethics of eating flesh. This would be a fantastic book for group discussions.
Overall this book is strange and disturbing, entertaining but also thought provoking and relatable. It will appeal to those looking for something new in the horror genre while also appealing to those looking for deeper discussions. I would recommend to anyone looking for something different.
Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

JERUSALEM -- It's back: The issue of loan guarantees to Israel has returned like an old summer rerun.
Yitzhak Rabin, the new Israeli prime minister, arrives in the United States today. On Monday and Tuesday he will see President Bush in Kennebunkport, Maine. He hopes to leave with a promise the United States will guarantee $10 billion in loans.
He may not get all of it. But U.S. officials have been dropping broad hints that Mr. Rabin will secure a promise for at least the first installment of guarantees, about $2 billion, in return for Israel's new enthusiasm for the peace talks.

Tips for Creating Drupal Content Types for Library Web SitesSubmitted by nina on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 13:13
One of the most difficult things about migrating a library web site from a static or non-CMS site into Drupal is getting your head around custom content types. Drupal comes with two content types out-of-the-box-"article" and "basic page"-but the possibilities for creating custom web site content are limitless. Because it's so easy to create custom content types, it's easy to overthink and end up with too many.

I felt pretty good for the first two miles of my run, but at 2 1/4 miles I could tell I was starting to get tired, so I turned around and returned. Being tired today was expected, because Monday night I only had 4 hours sleep, and Tuesday night I had no sleep. I did have two naps on Wednesday, totaling 5 hours sleep. I was busy making changes to my leigh.org site to add DNA testing for genealogy, and I just kept working through the night. On Wednesday night I had a good 7 1/2 hours sleep, but I need more sleep than that to recover from two nights of sleep deficit, and I was thus tired on Thursday during my run.
Our weather is still nice, more like September than the end of October.

Hi. I was wondering if you ever discovered what the small black ducks with the white bills are. I am in Pennsylvania and saw three of the same today in the lake. They are NOT American coots, I am sure. They are quite small, and they don't have the chicken-type bill of the coot. If you've ever found out, please let me know... it's making me crazy! firstname.lastname@example.com
I haven't found out what they are, and none of my visitors to the "duck" posts seem to know, either.ReplyDelete

A new methodology for enumeration of feasible clutching sequences of epicyclic gear mechanism (EGM) composed of two or more fundamental gear entities is presented. The method relies on previous work on algorithmic technique. It improves on existing techniques used for automatic transmission mechanisms in its ability to accurately solve the kinematics of geared mechanisms and estimating their velocity ratios and arranging them in a descending order in a simpler manner without depending on certain gear sizes. Twelve velocity-ratio-relations are derived for any four coaxial links of an epicyclic gear train. These velocity-ratio-relations are three more than the nine relations given in literature. In addition, the velocity ratios can be arranged in a descending sequence without using complicated artificial intelligence technique or complicated computer algorithm. The present methodology is judged to be more efficient for enumeration of all feasible clutching sequences of an EGM.

Spiritus Publica by Viktor Fucek (SK)
Video, 2 Minutes 3 Seconds, 2012
"Ikiru in Japanese means to live. Ikiru came from the word Iki of suru – breathing. Our breathing, we should strive to improve. Japanese culture has grown through labour on rice fields. Our culture has evolved in the rhythm of peasant life. We don't live in this rhythm now instead of it we run. When we learn how to breathe correctly we learn how to live." (From the film Evelyn Gleenie – Touch of Sound, 2004)
"Spiritus publica" is a record of actual physical limits of breath. I created a "dough" by mixing chalk dust (Gesso de Bologna) with water and dipped apple into it. This white dough symbolizes attempt to fix the object and thereby its shift into dimension without time. Later I tried clean it by my breath. The breath is here main medium, a measure of existence. I am seeking proper rhythm. Here is important of personal repentance, purgation through physical suffering.

- Anderson probably weighs almost 20 pounds. He wears 6-12 month clothes and 9 month pajamas.
- He is on baby food one to two times a day. He seems to like just about everything he tries except green beans. He will drink a little bit of water or milk from a bottle. He won't take a full bottle but will eat enough things that Scott and I got to go to our first movie in about 8 months this weekend!
- He is BUSY! He LOVES to "Crawl" (It is more a strong army crawl) all over the place. He LOVES crawling on the concrete floors in the duplex and likes to LICK them. Awesome.
- He enjoys today. He will play on the ground with toys for a good length of time. He just now can sit up alone for about 5 minutes at a time. He really doesn't love to sit, he just likes to GO, GO, GO.
- He absolutely adores his sister! She can just walk across the room and he will squeal with delight. He screams at her and laughs at her. He loves to crawl on top of her and laugh and pull her hair.
- His favorite noise is "AAAAHHHH." It is sort of a growly, happy noise.
- He likes to go to bed between 8 and 9 and he will sleep until about 5 or 5:30 most nights. He will go back to sleep in the bed with me around this time for about another hour. He does still wake up in the night to eat a few times a week.
- He will not take a morning nap if too much is going on. He is happy though when he is awake. He still doesn't nap at the same time daily or for the same length of time each nap.
- He likes to ride in the stroller when we are running errands and watch everything that is happening.
- The only time I can't get him to stop crying is in the car seat if it is a long drive.
- I enjoy getting him in the middle of the night (except its the middle of the night) or when he wakes up. He squeals and wraps his arms around my neck and just snuggles me and makes sweet noises.
- Overall he is a happy, sweet, smiling little dude and we are so blessed to have him! The past 7 months have flown by and I truly just want to freeze time!!!

Seven Months
Anderson is 7 months old! I am about a week late on this post and still have not taken a picture with the little sticky on his shirt. I pulled out my real camera one day to take a few pictures of him. I read Hollyn's blog post at this age and I did such a good job of capturing her personality. I am going to try to do that for the Bubba.

Now, keep touch screens gadgets smear-free
The growth in popularity of touchscreen devices -- everything from tablet computers to mobile gaming devices, interactive television screens and smartphones -- has created a new annoyance.gadgets Updated: Apr 16, 2012 12:16 IST
The growth in popularity of touchscreen devices -- everything from tablet computers to mobile gaming devices, interactive television screens and smartphones -- has created a new annoyance.
Every time we use our fingers to operate one of these devices, we inevitably leave a nasty little smear of grease across the screen.
But Japanese materials manufacturer Toray Industries, Inc. has devised a coating technology that means we will not constantly be trying to scrub oily marks off our blurred screens.
The Tokyo-based firm has come up with an anti-adhesive film that incorporates "nano-bumps" onto its surface that have no impact on the transparency or gloss of the film.
Other firms are working on similar systems, with US accessories manufacturer Tarqus recently launching a series of fingerprint-resistant screen protectors for mobile phones. But Toray claims its invention is more resistant to greasy finger marks.
"Dirt from fingerprints is difficult to evaluate because its appearance and degree of adhesion vary depending on the environment and difference in the material, so it has become necessary to create this technology," Toray said in a statement.
The new coating has been designed to have high oil-repellency and allows less than 50 percent of the oil and grease that collect on conventional screens to build up, while the randomly wrinkled nanometer structure makes any oil that does adhere to the screen less visible to the user.
Previous systems had only employed one of the two solutions, Toray said.
Tarqus is selling its scratchproof and oil-resistant film as an application that can be added to a device, but its Japanese rival is aiming to work with the manufacturers of touchscreen devices and have the system built into a new generation of screens. Another advantage of this, the company said, would be that it avoids the possibility of bubbles of
air or particles of dirt that are already on the screen being trapped beneath the film.

I accidentally right clicked on the calendar vertical slider and the following error message appeared "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have found this also appears if I right click on the time scale band on the calendar window.
Clicking 'close' makes the window disappear and the program seems to function OK afterwards.
Is this just a minor bug.
Best Regards

When an Icon such as Joan collins releases a makeup line, you sit up and take notice. This iconic woman has seen hollywood through the golden era, plus know what wonder's makeup can achieve. So i jumped at the given the opportunity to review her new foundation and compact's.
About :
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty is a new international luxury beauty brand, created by one of the most glamorous icons of our time. It aims not just to inspire women, but to provide them with the tools to feel and be beautiful at any age.
Meticulous pressed powder : Sabina
The website claims that :
It evens tone and regulates shine
Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and fills fine lines whilst light reflecting particles help make the skin look fabulous
Over foundation it helps give staying power to keep make-up looking fresher for longer and give extra resistance over shiny zones
Unique, elegant compact with mirror in lid
Disguises open pores
Includes powder puff
The compact is a beautifully presented product with an art deco feel to it. the powder inside is also paired with a lipstick. The powder feels very buttery and smooth to the touch and blends easily. The powder on my skin does blend in very well but it can show up a pink shade in the light so I would colour match the powder to your skin and see if the skin response works for you. Within the compact there is a mirror which is good for touch ups but is very small for checking your whole face. The lipstick colour called "Sabina" is a rich red with a moisturising formula.
The lipstick is creamy and applies smoothly, it defiantly needs blotting if your thinking of going for drinks or any social event as I found it does transfer. It does maintain its rich pigmented formula that does hold up and stay when on the lips. I found the lipstick to be moisturising but defiantly use a lip scrub before hand if you have dry lips as with any red lipstick it will show up. I loved the formula of the lipstick and the powder inside this stylish compact.
It works well with a smoky eye to give a vampy feel to a look or can be used with a less smoky eye for a more chic and elegant styling. Either was it was a pleasure to use and was defiantly more of a touch up compact for your handbag with the sizing of the mirror and the powder inside. Also the powder is most definitely for light use touch ups and not coverage for any makeup that slides or comes of during a night out. Overall I would use this compact for daily touch ups with my regular makeup, which does seem a shame given that the compact is so beautifully designed, however if your just needing the lipstick for a night out then the compact will be a lovely addition to assist those touch ups. Overall I really love the styling that Joan Collins has gone for, it reminds me of old Hollywood and the collection has a beautiful vintage yet modern day feel to its design.

Newcomers Open Up New Season In Style

- 2011 MLS Season, Charlie Davies, Eric Hassli, MLS Newcomers, Omar Bravo
The first full week is in the books for Major League Soccer and already the new guys in the league are taking over. Not one, nor two but three newcomers all scored two goals a piece in their MLS debuts this weekend. Vancouver's Eric Hassli got the club's first MLS goal followed by another on a breakaway. Sporting Kansas City's Omar Bravo netted a brace of his own against Chivas USA. And then there was Charlie Davies completing his comeback in D.C. with two goals against the Columbus Crew.
I'm no stat major here but this could be a first for the league where three big offseason additions each scored two goals in their debut. I'm sure the league will have something on this at some point but I wanted to point it out to start the new week because it was something else to see.
Eric Hassli – I was extremely impressed with the French striker for Vancouver on Saturday. Sure Toronto's defense could make anyone look like a star but this DP showed why the club is putting so much faith in him to score and produce this season. The atmosphere was electric in Vancouver for this one and Hassli put the club on the board for the year in a big way.
His presence around the 18-yard box was very solid too. He's a big striker that won't be hard to miss on the pitch. Should Vancouver be in the thick of things this season it will solely be due to this guy.
Omar Bravo – First off why didn't Chivas USA go for this Mexican legend? Seriously, he played for Chivas in Mexico so when he knew he was coming to MLS why didn't his old club do the smart thing and send him to Chivas USA? This is a steal for Sporting Kansas City as he looked so comfortable on the pitch for them in the opener. Both goals were very entertaining plays and ones that truly showed how brillent he can be when he is on form.
I think a big thing going forward for him is the fact that the pressure for him to produce will be off. Getting that vital first goal out of the way with a new club is always tough to get. Bravo will still be called to produce but he can do so without the pressures that come with getting that first goal.
Charlie Davies – How special of a night was it in D.C.? Extremely special. I'm no D.C. fan but I can tell you I got nothing but goosebumps watching Davies' second goal from the run of play. It was vintage Davies too. He used his speed around Chad Marshall and made a smart play to beat Will Hesmer. It was nice to see the stanky leg in MLS too.
But man was he emotional after the game. Kudos to the D.C. faithful for getting so behind him when he came into the game and even more kudos to his teammates for putting so much faith in him when they let him take the PK to get his first goal.
D.C. still has a ways to go but as long as Davies is doing what he did against Columbus, you can bet United will be a player in the Eastern Conference this season.
Now these three weren't the only newcomers with solid debuts. There was one player from Chicago that really stood out to me against FC Dallas this weekend. He scored their only goal of the game and nearly bagged one more.
Diego Chaves – Now Chaves didn't net two goals for Chicago against Dallas but he certainly came close to having that kind of perfect opener that Hassli, Davies and Bravo did in their games. I was really impressed with the young Uruguayan against Dallas' big back four. His speed and shot selection were tough to get a handle on and he put loads of pressure on Kevin Hartman in goal for Dallas. Had Chicago won in Frisco to open the new season it would have easily been because of this guy. Folks, he is one to watch out for this season in the Windy City.

i took over 40+ vids for my part. from finding the perfect spot at home to having klutzy hands and butter fingers which result in the paper dropping all over and to working on my facial expression. compiling, combining and editting the videos was pretty last minute. that explain the ultimate failure in background music but seeing that look on hfz's face when he first saw the vids was priceless i guess (it's be more awesome if he shed some tears hahahahaha)
hfz had surprises after surprises (and suspense too) in between the whole day because of...
|DIY-ed with love birthday vouchers. a total of 7 vouchers given randomly at different timing. tell me i'm sweet or what?! *self-praising*
what's a birthday w/o birthday card right?! oh how i love receiving cards and a long-handwritten sincere letter. *hinthint my b'day is May 11*
voucher 2: one pair of vans/converse shoe.
which he asked me to put on his list of rain check items.
voucher 3: a day at playnation/e2max
he choose the latter and we played rock band which was so freaking awesome! we sang our hearts out and played the guitar. well, mostly i was the sucky singer and he the guitarist b'coz the guitar and me don't seem to match hahahah i got a lil annoyed playing the guitar.
+ that place reminds me so much of the time i had "filming" there. WHAT! I was once a tv reporter/actress/whatnots yknw. don't remember? here you go: WII Challenge ahhhh, good ol times i look so young with my cheena bangs. I remember cutting my bangs before "filming".
+ pretty red background = time for some OOTD shots ;)
voucher 4: dinner for 2 @ artease
we had their macaroons only because we weren't feeling hungry or anything :/
voucher 5: choosing your own birthday cake
hfz picked secret recipe white chocolate cake! not bad of a choice ;) gotta luv all of SR cakes
voucher 6: star and moon gazing with the love of your life
the plan was to bring him to punggol promenade but we got lost in punggol and couldn't figure our way there. first world problems w/o the car and GPS. iPhone's google map kinda suck sighhhh but i made it up to him by going to.... punggol park!
lit up the candles, sang birthday song, ate the cake, snacking on chocolates i bought for him (part of the surprise and present (fake) star and moon and sky gazing, played with the candle wax and talk about everything
voucher 7: spending a lifetime with maya
ok ya ya i'm very cheesy it's so gross. i was so shy i didn't want to give him this voucher initially but he grabbed it from me

|happy 21st birthday once again my handsome mang ♥

Please help me congratulate XGC StoneD4life on his promotion to general of XGC Forsaken!
XGC StoneD4life joined Xiled Gaming in August of 2016, into XGC Exalted. In July of 2017, as Captain of New Bloods Squad, Stoned transferred to XGC Reliant under XGC Dizz to help due to the previous Captain and Lieutenant having to step down for personal reasons. Stoned worked hard to recruit quality members into his squad and grow XGC Reliant, while developing him and those below him into future leaders. He's known as someone who always helps others on games, whether it's running them through campaign, difficult missions, raids, or just about anything (except PvP in Destiny)
I look forward to seeing Stoned grow as a leader in the community, and know he will do a great job in his new position!

The Obama camp is saying Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" gave Hillary the victory yesterday. The Hillary camp is saying that Limbaugh had nothing to do with it. Limbaugh of course takes credit for her win.
However, all of that is secondary to what I'm interested in talking about today.
There is a growing contingent on the left that wants to "sue" or "hang Limbaugh for treason" or "shut down his show" because of Operation Chaos.
I have several problems with that, of which the reasonable, thinking Americans will all agree with:
1. The government should never EVER EVER, did I mention NEVER be allowed to have ANY say whatsoever in who can vote for whom, regardless of their reasons. That would violate the most fundamental rights we have as Americans.
2. In America, free speech, especially as it relates to politics and religion are protected specifically by the first amendment. I'm POSITIVE that none of us are interested in forcing someone to shut up for their political views, no matter how ridiculous or "un-American" they may be. At least, not those of us concerned with our own personal freedoms.
3. If you're going to have an open primary, which of course both parties have in some states, you can't very well complain when people cross over and vote in your primary. John McCain was virtually given a pass by all of the moderate democrats who crossed over to vote for him. That's a matter of polling data that has been confirmed. Yet, although most of us in the Republican camp are pretty unhappy to have McCain as our guy, we aren't going around saying we should go after those moderate democrats for election fraud. It's our own stupid fault for allowing Democrats to vote in our primary!
I think it's hilarious that anyone on the Democrat side is even slightly perturbed about it. They have their guy already wrapped up as the Republican candidate. So we can either have a hyper-liberal black guy, a hyper-liberal woman, or a moderately liberal old guy. What the heck difference does it make? We're screwed any way you slice it.

Long ago, when the first men roamed this great land, two rings of power – forged in a dragon's breath – were lost to time. These great relics passed from hand to hand until they ended on the fingers of a man and his bride. Brought together again, the power of these great bands gave the couple five daughters of unequaled…
beauty, strength?, wit ...oddity
Oh, whatever.
We are House Cook
And dinner is coming.
So if you like a meal of epic proportions… if you're looking for a feast of magic… if you're simply hungry for lightly poached dragon's eggs with a hint of garlic and a dash of red pepper… Welcome to Cook's Landing where every meal is prepared with a song of spice and fire.
Who we are
www.PenLensPaintbrush.com @ColorMeRedhead
Be very, very quiet. I'm hunting Mexican restaurants. Hello folks, Anna-Lara here, UPenn alumna and hopeful New York Times bestselling author. Have yet to get a literary agent, but I'm passing the time with photoshoots with my little sisters, blogging, and watching Youtube videos of posh British comedians. During the day I work with donor services at a nonprofit. What's a girl to do? Gotta pay the bills somehow.
Well then soldier, how goes the day? Hello there, I'm Katy-Lynn. A new college student, I started school in Spring of 2014. But, in the event of the impending zombie apocalypse, I'll be hidden somewhere deep in the woods with my friend Ryan while he forges weapons and I cook the food and knit the mittens. That's our system and we're hoping it lasts us for awhile. Until then, I'll be procrastinating, writing, and occasionally over-achieving. I might climb a few trees every now and then, or bury myself in my couch while my siblings and I watch Doctor Who reruns. In short, I'll be living the life of any quirky, anti-social, introverted teenage girl. But enough of this. I think you get the picture.
My name is Julianne, I'm actually the princess of a far-off kingdom. I don't know who these people are, but they kidnapped me when I was small. I've been looking for a cure to the zombie virus. The problem is, I have to inject myself with it first. I try to work it off by scootering and walking around the house in circles. These strange rituals have attracted everything but media attention. All I want for Christmas is a mulcher, and I don't want to explain why.
I am the littlest amongst us. Bios are too mainstream.

It boggles my mind that BongV, whom I thought to be objective, also defends GMA. So much for the Anti-Pinoy/Get Real movement. They are a bunch of clowns after all. No more credibility. Just a bunch of hacks. Sad.ReplyDelete
Something I find confusing about Sec. de Lima is why does she not care about Mikey Arroyo leaving the country?ReplyDelete
But honestly, I don't think Mikey has inherited his mother's smarts, nor her political savvy. I don't even think he inherited his father's business skills.
Attitude is another thing though.
AJ, my guess is that there is no basis for denying him the right to travel as he is not linked to the major corruption cases being prepared for filing. I don't know much about him other than it easy to find him irrelevant for his mindless defense of his parents. I wonder when Filipinos will wake up and stop voting for the "good old families (Arroyos, Marcoses, Aquinos)" to manage their country.ReplyDelete
- ArellanoNovember 20, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Hold on there Joe. Noynoy had been a good and honest president so I don't see why you should disqualify him just because he came from an "old family."ReplyDelete
Arellano, yes, he is a good and honest president. I agree. If you will read a collection of my commentaries, you will see that I praise most of what he does.ReplyDelete
I object to the selection criterion for any public office being name and reputation versus skill. I think Pacquiao is a superb boxer (with occasional off days) and a poor congressman. Therefore, the people of his district don't come to Congress with a skilled and effective voice, and the national government is just a little weaker for the lack. Same for the families. Having a name is not sufficient criteria in my book. People should think a little more deeply, I believe. I don't want to see Kris running in 2012.

I agree that people should wake up and stop putting old families in power (at least look for real alternatives). These people don't own all of the brains in running a country.ReplyDelete

An excerpt from Mr. Warlito Vicente's (BongV) article "PNoy's Department of Just-Tiis: Unconsitutional Uber-Meddling by DOJ Control Freaks and the Pinoy Culture of Impunity":ReplyDelete
"Of course there's the apprehension that Arroyo might abscond – abscond with what exactly? Has she been convicted? Sen. Lito Lapid had a more sensible recommendation – provide security detail to the former President who will ensure she returns to the Philippines after treatment. of course, if the treatment takes some time – her tax-funded security detail will incur a cost. But, if the former president will pay for the cost of her security detail – that can help defray – even – eliminate the cost."
OMFG, is this what you consider an intellectual?
- AnonymousNovember 21, 2011 at 4:49 PM
"Only in the Philippines (and Tunisia, Egypt, Lybia, Syria, Iran and the Gaza Strip) do Presidents and judges not grasp simple concepts, like...You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time."ReplyDelete
---> The average Filipinos can understand this. It is only the pseudo-intellectuals from GRP and AP who cannot (or rather, will not).

No . . . and good point.
