BLACKSBURG — Virginia Tech football faithful can recite the mantra on command: The Hokies have won at least 10 games for eight consecutive seasons, the nation's longest active streak.
But in seven of those years, Tech lost at least three times. And in none of those seasons did the Hokies finish among the nation's top five.
So the annual question has become: Is this the year?
Is this the year Tech wins, for the first time, 12, 13 or, dare we say, 14 games? Is this the first time since Michael Vick exited for the NFL after the 2000 season that the Hokies are truly an elite team?
"There's one goal that we want to get to, and that's to go back and play for that national championship and win that thing," defensive coordinator Bud Foster said at Tech's preseason media gathering Saturday.
The Hokies lost the 1999 title game to Florida State, and who knows whether this squad will return the program to that stage. But few would dispute that Virginia Tech is capable of surviving the opener against Georgia Tech and a Week 6 trip to North Carolina to be 7-0 entering the Oct. 20 game at defending ACC champion Clemson.
Then come consecutive Thursday games against Miami and Florida State.
"We've got to win our league first," Foster said, "and that's a tremendous challenge. … Right now (Florida State and Clemson) are rated higher than we are and probably deservedly so. … That's kind of what I'm selling, that we have to play with a chip on our shoulder.
"The expectations don't change, though. We expect to be in the hunt for an ACC championship. … That's what you have to set your sights on. If not, you're settling for being mediocre, and that's not what we've been around here."
With nine returning starters, Foster's defense should be light years beyond mediocre. There are depth issues in the secondary and injury concerns at linebacker, but even Foster concedes his line "can be as good as any in the country."
As deep, too, with eight quality players rotating among four spots.
"We feel we have the talent on our side of the ball to be the best defense that's ever come through here," cornerback Antone Exum said. "Of course, Bud keeps that in our heads. That's his goal every year, to be the best defense in the country."
Bless his enthusiastic heart, Exum probably isn't well-acquainted with the 1999 D that allowed a meager 10.5 points per game, or the 2006 gang that yielded 11 per game. But there's no denying that defense, as usual, is Tech's trump.
The issue is whether the offense and kicking game can generate enough points.
"Those guys are really starting to turn it up," linebacker Bruce Taylor said, "especially with us going more to a spread offense. … If (they) keep it up, we have a chance to be just as good an offense as we are a defense."
Quarterback Logan Thomas gives Tech that chance, and he'll be orchestrating an attack that play-caller Mike O'Cain said will be faster and more deceptive. More pistol formation, more mis-direction, occasional no-huddle.
Toward that end, O'Cain, offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring and running backs coach Shane Beamer traveled to Texas during the offseason to exchange ideas and schemes with the Longhorns' staff.
"I've been in my past more stationary, see where the defense lines up and attack it," O'Cain said. "Now here, you don't know where (the defense is) going to line up. … It's probably a little more risk involved. But sometimes by taking those risks, you have a chance at bigger plays. …
"We've got a lot of work to do offensively. The optimism is there, but it's cautious. … I know we're talented. It's just a matter of getting that talent molded and moving in the right direction."
O'Cain attributes the changes to football's evolution rather than the Hokies' personnel. That said, the rugged, athletic, cerebral Thomas is an ideal quarterback to manage not only the different schemes but also inexperienced linemen and tailbacks.
"A little bit nasty at times and explosive," Thomas said of the identity he'd like the offense to assume.
And once the pads go on next week and the first offense starts facing the first defense, the competition will ramp up.
"I think that's the way it should be," Thomas said. "You don't want to be the side of the ball that lets down the other side."
That is every team's mission, to be so balanced that one unit's inevitable sub-par day doesn't translate to defeat.
Is this the year Tech becomes that team? Is this the season in which 10 victories are just the beginning?

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't blogged in ages, I've been really busy preparing my portfolio for interviews so I've been a bit of a hermit and haven't really left the house!
At the beginning of last month, I took a trip into London to do some project research, and of course found my self getting distracted by some of the wonderful vintage shops that were about. I spent ages in one shop looking for a new handbag. I knew exactly what i wanted (I always do this, definitely not a good thing because I won't settle for anything different) and was very disheartened when I couldn't find it, especially after missing out on a few on eBay!
I got home and complained to my mum that I still couldn't find my perfect bag anywhere, I described it to her as a Tapestry Doctors bag and explained that I wanted quite a small one, but one that was big enough to fit everything I need in it, and asked her to keep an eye out for one. She then went on to say "I bought one of those 25 years ago!" This was not what I wanted to hear as it made me feel one hundred times worse knowing she used to have one in my very house! I told her this and she replied "No, I still have it! I know exactly where it is!" she then whizzed off upstairs and returned with this bag! It was exactly what I had been looking for! I am so happy with it so I thought I'd share my little story with you! Me and my bag have been inseparable over the last month!
What do you all think of it? Hope you like it!
And Leah and her bag lived happily ever after...

Restaurant Review: The Long Table, Red Hill
We were looking to treat ourselves with a nice meal out while we were staying in the Mornington Peninsula. We had romantic visions of dining in a vineyard, but couldn't find anywhere open on a Wednesday night during the tail end of winter.
Walking past the small shopping precinct near our holiday cottage in Red Hill we noticed The Long Table. It didn't look too much from the outside, but when I saw that it has recently been awarded a Chef's Hat I was sold. I didn't think we'd need a booking, but it was a good job we reserved a table as the place was packed on a Wednesday night.
The drinks menu is hyper-local. To start with I ordered an amber ale from the Red Hill Brewery, situated 800m up the road. A light and bright beer with plenty of flavour. The wine list is local too with nearly all tipples coming from Victoria and many from the Red Hill area.
Both and Andrew and I went for the Wednesday night special of two courses and a glass of wine for $35. The main course was a confit duck leg served with crispy cavelero nero, prune, potato puree and beans.
It was a small, but lovely, plate of food. I'm quite critical that duck in Australia tastes bland, but this duck leg had a lot of flavour. It tasted like the duck I've eaten back in the UK. The prune added a lovely sweetness. The potato puree and beans went well with the duck. I wasn't sure what the point of the cavelero nero was.
As the special offer didn't have a vegetarian option Ruth ordered the smoked potato gnocchi, babaganoush, blackened carrots, kale & gruyere. The gnocchi had been deep friend and reminded Ruth more of a potato croquet. There was nothing left by the end, so I guess she liked it!
The second course on the special menu was a goats cheese, cheesecake with rhubarb. The cheese cake was deconstructed with two quinnells of the cheesecake placed on top of a biscuit crumb. The cheesecake was rich and smooth, which contrasted nicely with the sharp rhubarb. I didn't detect a strong goats cheese flavour. The small meringue (to the left of the plate) didn't add anything for me.
The service was very efficient and friendly and the restaurant had a buzzing atmosphere on a busy evening. If I am going to be critical our waitress could have spoken a bit louder as it was difficult to hear her at times, I'd prefer it if they gave you the food menus at the same time as the wine list (a bit hard to match food an wine otherwise) and it would have been nice to have had a bottle of water on the table.
Overall there was some very good food. Lots of technique and flavour which I think is well deserving of their newly awarded Chef's Hat.

"...On Purpose for God's Intended Purpose"
Setting Goals to Live Your Fullest Purpose-filled Life
We all were created with & for very real and intentional purpose or for some purposes. Do you know what your purpose is? Are you operating in that purpose?
Defining Purpose
Purpose (noun) has several meanings
1. (Your) reason for existence
Why are you here? Do you understand your reason for existing?
2. Desired effect (the goal or intended outcome of something)
When God created YOU He anticipated a desired effect. In other words, He had a goal or intended outcome for your life. (Think about it)
Knowing your purpose or learning your purpose is not enough by itself. You must be DETERMINED to LIVE with purpose, on purpose for the intent that you were created by acting with purpose.
3. Determination is to intend or to determine to do something
Determination is also the desire or the resolve necessary to accomplish a goal
Well, what is a goal?
1. A target area (a place or space that one must go to acquire a desired result)
2. Focal point (a distant place or space you see ahead and aim to reach by all means necessary)
3. Successful end of a plan created to obtain a specific outcome
To live with purpose, on purpose, for God's intended purpose requires:
1. Knowing your purpose
2. Accepting your purpose
3. Operating, Functioning & Living in your purpose
Knowing, Accepting, Operating, Functioning and Living in your purpose all lead to a Purpose-filled life!
However, they all involve "Acting" which requires you to DO something. Acting requires movement from you. In this instance, purpose becomes a transitive verb. It (purpose) becomes action.
Don't just exist (be a bump on a log…moving through life routinely).
Don't let life or outward circumstances dictate the purpose of your life.
Don't let life or outward circumstances dictate the purpose of your life.
Be intentional to search yourself each day. What are you searching for? You are looking for those things that are in your heart. What makes you happy? What brings you joy? What brings you excitement? What brings you peace? What brings you satisfaction? What makes you feel that you are fulfilling your purpose?
Is it your job? Is it serving others? Is it creating (art, songs, music, stories, plays, sewing, knitting, painting, collecting cars, riding motorcycles, cleaning, typing, working with children, playing the piano, cooking, planning other people's special occasions…and the list goes on and on)
Whatever it is, your heart knows your purpose even if you try to deny it. Your heart is connected to your purpose. Your purpose is connected to God. Let your heart lead you to your purpose. Your purpose will always lead you to God.
Operating in your purpose requires you to plan and planning means setting goals and setting goals takes patience, persistence and perseverance. Don't allow a time table, a chart, doubt, fear, insecurities, attitude, perception, your thoughts or anyone else's thoughts to deter you from planning to live out each day with purpose, on purpose for God's intended purpose.
Set a goal right now to start living your purpose TODAY!!!
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
I have Purpose,
And so do YOU!
Violets are Blue,
I have Purpose,
And so do YOU!
Be Blessed!

The different portrayals of female characters Antigone and Lysistrata illustrate the fundamental nature of the proper Athenian woman. Sophocles' Antigone allows the reader to see that outrage over social injustices does not give women the excuse to rebel against authority, while Aristophanes' Lysistrata reveals that challenging authority in the polis becomes acceptable only when it's faced with destruction through war. Sophocles and Aristophanes use different means to illustrate the same idea; the ideal Athenian woman's ultimate loyalty lies with her polis. This Greek concept of the proper woman seems so vital when considering Athenian society because both a tragedy and comedy revolve around this concept. The differing roles accorded to Antigone and Lysistrata through their relationships with their families, other women, and society reveals the Athenian idea of the proper woman.
In Sophocles' Antigone, the problems with the main character's role in relation to her family illustrates that the ideal Athenian woman has final loyalty only to her polis.
Antigone, the main character of Sophocles' tragedy, plays the role of protector in her relationship with her family. In attempting to fulfill her role she rebels against her polis, breaking the command of her king while attempting to defend the honor of her dead brother and family. Antigone's brother, Polyneices, dies while attempting a hostile takeover of his polis. As punishment for his crimes, Creon, the king, condemns Polyneices, declaring that the people of the polis are not allowed to bury him as he was an enemy of the state and if one was to bury him, the punishment would be death. Antigone decides she must bury he brother to allow him passage to the underworld. She comes to the contradictory conclusion that she will stay loyal to her traitorous brother through blatant disloyalty to her polis.

The Note This Man Left On His Front Door To Deter Christmas Carolers Will Leave You In Stitches
Okay, so everyone knows that one person who is a total Scrooge around the holidays–particularly when it comes to belting out classic Christmas tunes for the whole neighborhood to enjoy.
Well, one man wanted to make sure that none of his pesky over jolly neighbors came carousing around his house caroling, infecting his precious ear drums with holiday cheer, so he crafted an epic note that's sure to make you chuckle out loud.
Seriously. This is hilarious. No, seriously. Read it. You won't regret it.
From Mad World News:
If I were a Christmas caroler, I'm pretty sure the very first reason would be enough to send me bolting off the front porch with a quickness the likes of which this man has probably never witnessed with his own two eyes.
Then there's the ending, where the guy fully admits he's never even been visited by carolers. I guess he just wanted to make sure he covered his bases.
It's obvious that while this guy isn't much for caroling, he has a great sense of humor, so he isn't likely one of those "I hate Christmas" fellows destined to be visited by three ghosts come Christmas Eve.
To be honest, I'm not sure too many people even go around caroling anymore, but after seeing this guy's note, I highly doubt any of his neighbors will knock on the door.
Unless they want to call his bluff, or for some strange reason want to see this gentleman without pants.

How Ya Like Me Now?
Yesterday I had an interview with the Luis Palau Little Rock CityFest directors. They need someone to coordinate the 2,500 - 3,000 volunteers during the festival and I thought I'd check it out. It turned out to be a bumpy ride.
My interview was scheduled for 1:30, which was perfect because I had a substitution assignment that ended at 11:30. While at the school I made sure to print out the directions to the CityFest offices. I always use randmcnally.com because I find their directions to be the most accurate. (I figure if you are the guys who make the maps you should have great directions.) According to Rand McNally the directions were super simple. That said I left the house in order to have about 30 additional minutes in case I ran into a problem. I should have anticipated multiple problems.
Per my directions I only had to make three turns off the highway. The first two turns were a cinch but that last one stumped me. I drove up and down a stretch of road multiple times looking for Kirby Road. Kirby Road was not to be found. Finally I pulled over at a large convenience store to ask about the elusive location. No one, including a delivery driver, had heard of Kirby Road.
My time was quickly running out so I decided to call my contact and let her know I was lost and needed assistance. Unfortunately I couldn't find her phone number anywhere! How could I have left her number at home? ARGH! Okay, plan B. Call my BFF from high school and get the number from her. After all, the job lead came from Devin so I knew she would be able to help me out. Mission accomplished.
I then called my contact and told her my predicament. She was beyond understanding and told me that Kirby Rd is indeed difficult to find. She said the road was very easy to miss. Want to know why? It's because there isn't a street sign to mark Kirby Rd. In fact, the street changes names once it crosses the main road. So there was a street sign but it didn't say Kirby Rd. How convenient. (I learned this information on my own after the interview. It could have been a tad helpful beforehand.)
My contact decided to give me alternate directions. Unfortunately she didn't give me the correct street name on which to turn. She told me that once I was on Park Way Place I would turn right on Kirby. There is a church at the corner I was given as a marker. Well I got the the church but it was at the intersection of Park Way Place and Markham. Are you kidding me? Oh well, I decided to turn into the church and ask for directions again. A couple were talking on the sidewalk and offered assistance. The lady told me to pull out of the parking lot back onto Kirby. Excuse me? Kirby? She told me that the road I was on was Kirby. I just smiled and thanked her. Once I pulled out of the parking lot I looked up at the street sign and it said MARKHAM but I obediently turned left as instructed. A block or so later the street officially turned into Kirby Rd and I found my destination. I was only 15 minutes late... ugh... and I had been in the car for over any hour so I was crumpled looking.
Once I had met the two directors we sat, prayed, and began to talk. Oh, did I mention that the office was quite warm? It was. And I've been ill - again. About 5 minutes into the interview I began to cough. The warmer I get the harder I cough. The harder I cough the warmer I get. So I asked to excuse myself from the room and walked into the hallway where I continued to cough up a lung. I was hoping there was a water fountain in the hallway but that would just be crazy.
Finally I composed myself enough to go back to continue the interview. That lasted about 5 more minutes. The next coughing fit was worse. I barely choked out the word, "water" before I turned blue. One of the directors ran to get a bottle of water but I couldn't wait. I practically sprinted after her.
I then told her I needed to go to the restroom for a moment. By this time I had tears streaming down my face and snot was on the verge of flying. She began walking me down the hall to the restroom but stopped in her office to see if she could find anything to stave off a call to the paramedics. She told me she had some mints and I was truly grateful. In her desperation she grabbed a peppermint and a whole tube of mentos and shoved them at me. This perplexed me further. All I could think was that they probably thought I had swine flu and bad breath too.
I barely made it to the restroom in time to divert a disaster. I started coughing so hard that I was furiously grabbing at tissue to hold to my nose. My next fear was that I would cough and laugh (yes I was completely amused by all this) so hard that I would have an accident. Honestly, I think it was possible because it was obvious that I was not in control of my body at that time.
All the while I wondered what the directors were thinking because I knew they could still hear me. I just hoped I could clean up my face enough to continue. Finally with a peppermint in my cheek and water in hand I returned to the interview. I walked in, smiled and asked, "So is this the best first impression you've ever seen? How ya like me now?" We all laughed and started again.
At the end of the interview I was told that they had other candidates to see and would let me know something by the end of the week. Two hours later they called and asked if I would be available to take the next step and participate in a teleconference with their corporate offices in Portland, OR.
I guess they liked me fine.
I'm still praying about this position. I haven't heard the final word from God so I would appreciate your prayers as well. There are pros and cons to this job so I could go either way. I just want to make sure the way I choose is God's.
(As a side note, I sure love and miss everyone who reads my blog.)

Alex Guerrero must be the worst infielder in the history of baseball.
He arrived from Cuba as a shortstop, and it was quickly decided he lacked the range to play that position at the major league level and was moved to second base. The Dodgers decided last year he could not play that either and moved him to third.
He started off this season splitting time between third and left field, all while hitting the snot out of the ball. And now he has seemingly disappeared from the Dodgers' plans at third.
He's been their best hitter per at-bat, and they cannot get him in the lineup. How can this be? He understandably still looks uncomfortable in left field, but he has appeared at least close to adequate at third.
Yet tonight in Chicago, Justin Turner is getting the night off, and Guerrero will again sit while Alberto Callaspo starts at third. Callaspo is clearly a superior defensive third baseman, is a switch-hitter who can bat from the left against Cubs right-hander Jason Hammel and has hit better (.293/.383/.366) than I ever anticipated since being acquired May 27 from the Braves.
But Guerrero has a .269/.297/.569 slash line and has 10 home runs and 29 RBI in only 130 at-bats. That's the best slugging percentage on the team. And they seldom get him in the lineup.
He started Monday in left and went hitless in five at-bats. He is hitting only .172 in his last 29 at-bats. In those 14 games, he's had only five starts. And he hasn't started at third base since May 24 and none since Callaspo arrived.
Guerrero has committed two errors this season, both in left field. He certainly has not always looked crisp at third, but he hasn't been a disaster, either. He can't learn a position he's not allowed to play.
Guerrero is 28 years old. The Dodgers signed him prior to the 2014 season for $28 million. Everyone said he could hit, and he has. Somebody must be wondering how he would hit if he played at least semi-regularly.
Maybe his current slump is because other teams have figured out a weakness in his swing and he hasn't adjusted. Or maybe it's because of erratic playing time and being a very frustrated player.
At this rate, we'll never know.

There's something about stripes that just seems to make them such a happy choice, especially when they're multicolored. This dress is an excuse to have a good day in one easy step - two if it's dark in the room.
Step 1: Find said dress.
Step: Proceed to wear said dress all day.
Dress: The Girls from Savoy, Shoes: thrifted, Earrings: vintage from my grandma
This outfit went from church to errands to a backyard picnic with friends with ease. Can't beat that.
Now if I can just find a way around getting it dry cleaned.
So whether it's a stripey dress like this one, some subtle bedroom stripes, or all out crazy fuzzy stripes, rock some stripes today. Your mood will thank you.

I loveeeee this lenss!! I think that these look exactly like the princess bambi brown only more vibrant! It gives your eyes an outstanding look and catches people eyes immediately lol! xD At first i thought that they would look kinda orange on my eyes because the lenses itself look orange, but when i put them in, they blended immediately with my brown eyes and turned a pretty brown colour as well ~
Aniways it also looks super dolly and interesting at the same time, so 5/5 for sure!
Comfort: /[]

RACV Cobram Resort
RACV Cobram Resort is the resort we choose to stay as we explore this northern part of Victoria, commonly known as Victoria's Sun Country on the Murray, on account of the 300+ days of sunshine it gets every year.
Cobram is about a 3 to 4 hours drive from Melbourne. The easiest way to the RACV Cobram Resort is to take the Hume Freeway out of Melbourne and then continue onto the Goulburn Valley Freeway through Shepparton, then onto Cobram.
The resort has 10 hectares of landscaped gardens. The accommodation type on offer consist of spacious two-bedroom apartments, self-contained cabins and caravan park with an extensive range of recreation facilities suited for families. This includes floodlit tennis courts, a BMX track and children's playground, the giant jumping pillow being the favourites with children and adults. There are walking trails for those who like a breezy peaceful walk around the resort perimeters or a shorter track around the lake.
There is the putting green and golf driving range for those who like to work on their handicaps before trying out the local golf clubs; Cobram-Barooga Golf Club, Tocumwal Golf Club or the Yarrawonga and Border Golf Club.
The resort do have a swimming pool but it was under renovation at the time of our stay. Overall the place has the feeling of space, is clean and well kept with lots of grassed areas. We enjoyed our stay very much at the resort.

I gave them both a spoon and some yogurt and fed them a bite.
Penny caught on pretty quickly and loved using the spoon.
Ben was a little confused by it...
Yum! Penny got messy, but she still managed to eat most of it with her spoon.
And who knew yogurt was cheerio glue?
As messy as it was, it was still a success!


text: JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — Bishop Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, has been given a South African passport, his office said Thursday. His passport was taken away in 1982. Why: The government charged that Tutu was making statements while abroad that encouraged international corporations to withdraw their investments from South Africa. Without a passport Tutu had to ask government permission each time he wanted to go abroad, including the trip to accept the peace prize. The bishop's office said Tutu requested the passport in a letter to Home Minister F.W. de Klerk.

Specifically, mothers doing the school run. Do they make me anxious because I'm filled with illicit desire as I stumble, intoxicated, through the yummy mummy-o-rama at the gates? No. Sadly. Fair enough, there are two or three I wouldn't mind getting to know on a more naked level (if I were single and unencumbered and didn't always have so much ironing to do). But it's a pretty poor showing. In fact, I'd guess far more of the fathers secretly lust after my girlfriend than I do after their partners - which is really a bit dismal, isn't it? Tss. Where's the fairness in that?
Anyway, the actual reason I'm anxious is entirely non-libidinous. I cycle to school with Second Born, and almost every day there's a near miss with some impatient car driven by a mother. And right outside the gates - right outside - it's an accident-taunting log jam as they pull up with this philosophy: "I don't care how dangerous this is for anyone else, I'm not going to walk six inches farther than I can get away with." And why does it also always seem to be the ones driving the huge SUVs? My anxieties are twofold. 1) That this mixture of arrogance and indolence is going to result in a child getting hit. 2) The resultant, inglorious local newspaper headline: Wildly Ranting Man Drags Mother From Her Bloody Audi In Front Of Junior School And Kicks Her Stupid Arse The Full 20 Yards Down The Road To Where It Should Have Been In The First Damn Place.

Gourneyras a review
(By Dr. Reinhard Buchaly)
Seven years have passed since the EKPP laid line in the Gourneyras. What has changed in the meantime?
There are a lot of new faces in the team, who were the first time at the Gourneyras, and even my dive partner for the last three years Markus has never dived this place before. All the previous dives at the Gourneyras were done with Micha, but when I look at the pictures Markus is doing an excellent job.
This is the most difficult part of DIR cave diving, finding a dive partner, who is not only a good diver, but also fits on the human side.

The Year 2010
(By JP Bresser)
After the tough year 2009 with lots of disappointments created by either too much or too little water and the gods of weather fighting us, we decided to shift dates this year.
Lots of plans to visit old friends and extend exploration, but also lots of new opportunities along the way
I guess this comes with the game of cave exploration and maybe also is one of the factors that contributes to its attraction, the unknown and unexpected .......
Anyway, this year we are back in business,
read all about it!!!!!

This time, instead of blanket army photos, I thought I would show some close ups. Apologies in advance to anyone who has seen any of them before. These are from my Polish Renaissance 25/28mm army.
First up are a unit of mounted dragoons -the dismounted versions have not even been bought yet. Can't remember the manufacturer -one of the more modern ones.
Next up, a squadron of general European cavalry that could hail from anywhere. Again, manufacturers name forgotten.
Two units of Musket/Pike/Musket armed infantry. Yep, same again on the make.
A unit of regular Drab infantry. Hinchcliffe figures.
A unit of the iconic Winged Hussars. Hinchcliffe figures from back in the day.
Grand Hetman Chodkiewitz and his personal standard bearer. The standard is his own coat of arms. OG figures.
Some multi-period religious types. The one with the club has been ordered by his bishop to find some lunch...so he is about to bladder an unlucky, wandering dray horse.
Russian foot cossacks backed up by a Drab unit. Hinchcliffe, OG while the bloke on the horse is Essex.
The big (only) artillery piece. The matchstick firing trigger can be easily seen but if you squint a bit and look out of the corner of your eye, it could be an elevating block. Crew of unknown provenance.
The bloke on the horse had a bit of conversion work done on him. I believe he started out as a Spanish Conquistador type but I filed down his pantaloons and created some bucket-top boots. The plate armour was 'dremeled' into mail and whatever weapon he was carrying was removed and an officers type mace added. This was made by the simple expedient of blobbing some Bostik onto the end of a piece of brass wire. Oh, and a wing was fixed to his back. Don't know who made em.

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3)
Runs on and on and on, but proves nothing whatever about the survival of the fittest.
Heston is more convincing in his battle scenes than in romancing Rosemary Forsyth, but nevertheless delivers a hard-hitting performance.
The rituals of pagan mythology are well observed - cabalistic idols, sacrifices - as is Heston's disintegration in the face of a mental force that he can't understand.
There is plenty of bow-and-arrow shooting and throwing spears and pouring boiling oil and battering-ramming the great oak doorway and assaulting the fortress with a scaling-tower.
An intelligent historical drama, exciting and atmospheric while never losing sight of the human passions that are its driving force.
Lumbering sword and shield tale with Heston.
Audience Reviews for The War Lord
Charrlton Heston was and always will be an acting god. This film showed off more than one facet of his unholy acting talent and I loved it...

What should I wear to class?
Yoga or any exercise type clothes are perfect. Wearing a hip scarf will help you see hip isolations more clearly in the mirror. You can purchase scarves with coins or beads or just grab a beautiful scarf from home that you can tie around your waist to start. Some students like to get a little more dressed up in long skirts or harem style pants with a pretty top. There are LOTS of fun costume things that you can experiment with down the line but there really isn't much that you need to get started.

Farmers in four areas of Vietnam and Lao PDR have been involved since February 2012 in evaluating climate change adaptation priorities and costs through the Participatory Social Return on Investment (PSROI) project for climate change adaptation planning and costing in the greater Mekong Basin.
Title: "Participatory Planning for Climate Adaptation in the Mekong Region"
Country: Vietnam and Lao PDR
Organizations: International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), funded by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) through Sumernet
Theme: Climate Change Adaptation
Overview of activities: Prior to the project's implementation, the Participatory Social Return on Investment (PSROI) framework was first piloted in Kenya and Senegal in 2011. Researchers from the CGIAR Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) program, CIAT, and the University of Oxford developed this planning tool which integrates the participatory approach with economic analyses to localize climate change adaptation initiatives.
Community members were gathered to a three-day workshop to plan for climate change adaptation interventions through their vision of a desired future. This visioning process was critical in understanding local values and identities which provided measures of success and failure in building resilience, as the maintenance of system identity in times of shocks is what resilience is all about.
Challenges and barriers faced by the communities as well as their past adaptive responses and locally available assets and resources were then identified. Based on their long-term agricultural aspirations, a step-by-step process needed to achieve their goals and available local strengths needed in the plan were outlined.
Engagement did not end with the communities, but it also involved other stakeholders such as researchers, households in the villages of Long (Yen Bai province, Vietnam), Khoud Kae, and Lam Thane (both in Savannakhet province, Lao PDR), the research team, and local and national government leaders. Researchers were tapped to understand the costs and benefits of prioritized interventions together with the communities. The village households were interviewed to determine their perceptions of future costs and benefits if the interventions were to be conducted. The research team provided expertise in the evaluation of social, economic, and environmental benefits and costs of the priorities, including other related issues. Local and national government leaders were involved to link community assessments of priorities and impact with provincial, national, and international adaptation planning and costing.
Major outcomes:
The PSROI method was successful in integrating theoretical and methodological frameworks and tools which provided an assessment of local agriculture adaptation priorities that empowers local communities. The project staff noted that it has "created a more inclusive adaptation planning process across two distinct yet connected countries, bringing to light the priorities of hundreds of community members and the potential impact of enacting locally devised solutions".
Several recommendations were identified for PSROI based on the field research results:
- Using PSROI to compare outcomes for conducting multiple adaptation interventions simultaneously;
- Assessing how, when, and how much integration of climate change data should occur in community discussions, especially in areas with high uncertainty;
- Evaluating further the feasibility of scaling PSROI up and out, including developing criteria for how and when to do so effectively for policy decisions given the training and timing required for each study; and
- Identifying what aspects of the PSROI framework are most useful for adaptation fund allocation planning and the stages of deveision making that is most effective for incorporation.
