VMware overview
If you're already familiar with VMware Workstation and want to see what's new in version 5.5, skip down to the next section.
VMware Workstation is a versatile virtual machine program that allows several operating systems to run inside of either a Windows or GNU/Linux host. This allows you to run a full, valid copy of Windows, Solaris, *BSD, or other GNU/Linux distributions inside of a standard GNU/Linux installation (or all of those OSes inside of Windows). This is especially useful for software testers who need to work with multiple platforms or different versions of the same OS, but don't want to repeatedly restart their computer or have multiple machines on their desk. It's also useful for help desk personnel who need to provide support on different operating systems. Lastly, to a lesser extent VMware could be useful for people who want to switch to GNU/Linux but can't do without Windows software that hasn't been ported to GNU/Linux and can't be run through API emulators like CrossOver Office.
New in version 5.5
Here are the most significant new features and enhancements made since version 5.0:
- 64-bit guest OS support
- Virtual SMP for two processors
- Import capabilities for Microsoft Virtual Machine and Symantec LiveState Recovery images
- The VMware Player application
- Wider host and guest OS support for 32-bit and 64-bit OSes
Before you get too excited about 64-bit guest OS support, you should be aware of the catch: only certain processors are supported. My Sun Java Workstation w2100z (dual Opteron 252), for instance, was not supported. If you want to find out if your system is supported, VMware provides a free analysis tool (Windows version here) that you can download and run.
The virtual SMP capabilities support dual-core, dual-CPU, and single- or multiple-CPU systems that have Hyper-Threading Technology enabled. The latter, however, was not designed as a replacement for dual-core or dual-CPU systems, and will probably have very poor performance if you try to assign a virtual CPU to a virtual machine.
The VMware Player is a separate application that can be downloaded for free from the VMware Web site. It runs virtual machines created by VMware, which is handy for people who need to show a virtual machine to several other people who do not have VMware Workstation licenses.
Putting it to the test
Click here for a screen shot of VMware 5.5.
For me, the biggest improvement in VMware Workstation 5.5 is the wireless networking support in GNU/Linux. With version 5.0, I was unable to bridge a wireless network connection to a virtual machine, which pretty much robbed the guest OSes of networking capabilities. Bridged wireless networking now works flawlessly in GNU/Linux.
VMware claims that there is better device autodetection, but ever since the first version of VMware I tested -- 4.0 -- I have not had any trouble with internally installed hardware being detected and used in a virtual machine. What I have had trouble with was USB devices that are plugged in while the virtual machine was in use. Version 5.0 had trouble interacting with the Linux USB drivers and wouldn't connect to any USB devices; this has been fixed somewhat in Workstation 5.5. While a popup window still appeared and told me that there were problems with the Linux USB modules, I could click through it and have access to the USB device in the guest OS.
Unfortunately, devices that are not supported in the host operating system will also not be supported in the guest.
Conclusions and developer recommendations
Version 5.5 of VMware's most well-known product is an improvement over 5.0 in terms of operating system support and networking capabilities, but it may not be a must-have upgrade for existing customers. If you're happy with VMware Workstation as it is now, version 5.5 won't give you much more than 64-bit guest OS support -- but if that's your goal, make sure you check your system for compatibility first. Upgrading can't hurt, though -- it's free for existing VMware Workstation 5.0 customers.
What I'd like to see in the next version:
- Better video modes. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get a reasonably decent monitor refresh rate in a Windows XP guest OS. VMware Tools allows better video modes than the default, but it's still not good enough to keep my eyes from hurting.
- Improved performance. I'm not sure there's much that can be done about this, short of using a microkernel-based OS as the host. Even on fast machines, you can't get good enough performance out of your guest OSes to test programs that render 3D objects or high-definition sound.
- A "home" version. Even though it's come down in price over the past two years, VMware Workstation is still out of most people's price range for home use. Businesses save money with VMware by reducing hardware costs, but I know a lot of regular home desktop users that would love to use VMware on a non-commercial basis. How about an edition of VMware for non-commercial use at a substantially lower price?
- Better GNU/Linux integration. It can be a real bear to get "unsupported" GNU/Linux distros to work with VMware Workstation, both as guests and hosts. GNU/Linux support has improved markedly over the past few releases, but it's still not as easy to work with as Windows is.

It all started today . . .My name is Benjamin, and I am a paranormal investigator. In case you don't know what that is, a paranormal investigator is a person who studies, documents, and attempts to debunk or prove the existence of paranormal phenomena such as ghosts, U.F.O.s etc. At least . . . that's the way it's supposed to be.
I had to start writing this Blog because I needed people to know what I've seen . . . what I'm going to see. Everything about my studies has changed today. I'm here to tell the world the truth, and that's what this is.
It all started when I got a call from Alfred Nordmen telling me about an old abandoned house out in the forest away from peering eyes. The story goes that there was a women who lived there with her 2 year old daughter. The mother had reportedly died of measles and the baby was left alone to starve. My first thought was that this was another ordinary investigation. In and out with a few fuzzy photos, until Alfred told me about the recent death in the house.
Shining my flashlight around the room again i noticed something that I had not noticed before. A small cabinet against the far wall. Making my way over to it I opened the door. Laying on the top shelf was a small leather bound book that's edges were crumpled. The old book felt cold as I picked it up and began to flip through the pages.

Paper Cutz and Bitten by Bug2 challenges
I made this card for two challenges this week. I took the "R" slide from the Speaking of School cartridge and put it on some school paper I had. The Paper Cutz challenge was to use only 3 colors and I used red, black and white.
I stamped the word "recess" with some Stamps of Life alphabet stamps and used some twine and stickles for extras!
Thanks for looking and TATA!

text: Hi there Just got my new 32 3G iPad last week. I'm in love except for having freezing issues when on U tube or when watching movies rented from itunes. Anyone else having this problem? I got it from Best Buy and their clueless as to why it freezes. I got it to use as a primary E reader (already have a Kindle 2) to watch movies while traveling. I want to keep it, but I will return it and TRY to wait for the newer version if I can't stop the freezing. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Wicked

- The DM is never — ever — playing "DM vs. Player."
- Some encounters will not be winnable through combat.
- Sometimes the PCs will have to run to survive.
- Retreat will usually, but not always, be possible.
- Sometimes the PCs will have to surrender to survive.
- Surrender by PCs will usually, but not always, be honored by enemies.
- Sometimes the PCs will be insulted and even humiliated by enemies.
- The DM is not out to kill PCs. The DM dislikes killing PCs.
- PCs can die. Bad luck, bad tactics, foolish behavior, and even fair fights can kill PCs.
- Cool and heroic actions will usually not count as bad tactics or foolish behavior.
- Good storytelling involves setbacks, and those setbacks can sometimes be very serious.
- Good storytelling also involves PCs bouncing back stronger from serious setbacks.
- The ongoing goal for the campaign is good storytelling.
- The end goal for the campaign is success and heroism for the PCs
Character Creation
Characters will be created using the High Fantasy Point Buy system as described in the Core Rule book. Using the point buy system, all stats start out at 10 and may be adjusted from there using points to purchase higher stats. High Fantasy allots 20 points for buying higher stats. Stats can be dropped lower than ten to add points to the pool. The cost for increasing and decreasing can be found on page 16 of the Pathfinder Core Rule book.
We will be using the Medium track for leveling up, which can be found on page 30 of the PFCB.
Experience Points
Experience will be awarded on an individual basis and it is possible for players to have different amounts of XP (And therefore different levels) based on their involvement in the game. Experience points will be awarded for creative solutions to encounters (Talking the Boss down, luring the enemy into a trap, etc), surviving encounters (Disabling a trap, defeating some enemies and running away, etc), and role playing (Acting in character, performing some feat of skill, etc), and the like.
Originality and creativity are greatly encouraged and will be rewarded in some form or another, be it an item granted free of charge because of a background story or in some other way. These will be assigned on an individual basis.
Classes and Races
There are no class restrictions or limitations. I want players to be able to enjoy the world I've created for them in a way they see fit.
Custom races can be created. If I create a custom race or approve a custom race I'll add a link to it here.
About the GM
I hate diplomacy rolls. There is nothing worse than blowing off a chance at character interaction in favor of a dice roll. That doesn't mean you shouldn't put points into diplomacy, as diplomacy is not just the words you use but how you present yourself. So there will be times in which a diplomacy roll will accompany what you've said.

Gia on 09/03/2015
After reading the horrendous reviews from guests who were bitten by bed bugs, staying at this hotel was something that I was not excited abou, at all. After arriving at the hotel what I discovered was amazing. I immediately was greeted by the friendliest desk agent (Jasmine) who made the checkin process a breeze. Once I was up to my room I did a THOROUGH inspection of the room and I mean every nook and cranny and to my surprise, I found NOTHING creepy or crawly. Instead, I discovered the detail
that was put into my room. From the folded towel animals to the chocolates and personalized handwritten notes, this hotel impressed me. I will definitely be staying here again.
Anonymous on 04/07/2012
I stayed at this Hotel November 2011, 1 night. Returned home and the next morning woke up and had 2 bite marks in 4 seperate areas. I did a research and tried to find out why I had bites or what can cause these marks on my body ? Over the next 3 months I had bites here and there and finally called the pest company to my home. Inspected my bedroom and discovered bed bugs all over my bed. Confirmed bed bugs, and now $1800 + later after heat treatment we might be getting rid of them.

I stayed at this hotel 3 nights in April 2011. I noticed that itched, but wrote this off to whatever laundry detergent they used on their sheets. Two weeks later, at my home, I saw begbugs, didn't know what they were, never had seen one before. I'm am confident that I brought them home with me from this hotel. What a nightmare!
Hampton Inn Philadelphia International Airport on 04/29/2009
I stayed at the Hampton Inn near the Airport last night. Before going to bed, I found \"hairs\" from a former guest all over the bed. I tried to ignore this and sleep any, but I awoke in the morning to find two bed bugs in my bed. The person I was staying with also had a bug bite on her foot. I am so disapointed- and am now freaked out I brought them home with me!

Yesterday was a big day for LeBron James! During the last two minutes of Game 1 in the playoffs against the Charlotte Bobcats, LeBron sunk two freethrows that pushed him into 8th place, beating Larry Bird, in most points scored during the post season.
LeBron has passed Larry Bird (3,897 points) for 8th all time in career playoff scoring (3,898 & counting)— NBA.com/Stats (@nbastats) April 20, 2014
This morning the hashtag #LeBronVSBird is trending thanks to ESPN.
Twitter Vote Time! Who was a better player in his prime: LeBron James or Larry Bird? Reply with LEBRON JAMES or LARRY BIRD at #LeBronVSBird— Numbers Never Lie (@ESPN_Numbers) April 21, 2014
Now fans of both NBA greats are in a heated debate over which player is better. LeBron may have scored more points in the playoffs but Bird's fans aren't giving up that easy.
Bird all the way! You never seen him flop or cry about calls. He didn't join HOF'ers he made them! #lebronvsbird— David (@wildave79) April 21, 2014
Younger generations gonna choose Lebron cause he's the hot commodity but let's be real this is LARRY LEGEND !! #LeBronVSBird— ✈ Mel Vega ✈ (@Gmel_Genuine) April 21, 2014
As great a player/athlete as Lebron is, Larry Bird in his prime was better than Lebron is in his. Bird was all dat and more. #LeBronVSBird— Neville James (@CroixBoy) April 21, 2014
#lebronvsbird Are ya serious Bird hands down,he played in a era when players competed much harder Lebum has no real competition today— ✨HAZE AVILES™✨ (@AVILESHAZE) April 21, 2014
LeBron fans are speaking up too.
#LeBronVSBird LeBron is arguably the most talented player of all time. He'd wreck Bird 1v1— Andrew (@AndrewClarkston) April 21, 2014
Most of the people chiming in on this debate never saw Larry play and don't know his numbers, they just hate LeBron #LebronVSBird— Satvir Mann (@SatvirMann) April 21, 2014
#LebronVSBird not even close. James on defense is far superior and quietly he's a better scorer too— Charles Glover Jr (@OpenWindowMES) April 21, 2014
But can we really compare the two?
#LebronvsBird The only thing they have in common in the position they play. Their style of basketball is completely different from the other— Jonathan Anasa (@JEABitW) April 21, 2014

Its been a hectic time here in my life. This and the next couple of books were read slowly, in between lots of homework and crazy schedules. I couldn't find the time or head space to read very often, so each of the next 3 books were read over weeks, which is unlike me. I blame me, not the novelist.
The Dead of Summer, by Mari Jungstedt is about murders that are well planned and executed for an unknown reason. At first, assistant Karin Jacobsson is given the job to begin the investigation, but her boss, Anders Knutas returns from vacation to take over. There is some resentment, but that doesn't deter Jacobsson from her investigation. Intermingled with the present day investigation, is the story of a German family who vacationed on the Baltic Sea many years ago.
It isn't until the motive for the murders is revealed can we understand the reason for the backstory. This was a good mystery with all the clues planted in plain sight, but it isn't until the final connection is made can we, and Jacobsson, understand what happened.

Latest Announcement from the Department for Education
September 24, 2010 1 Comment
This week in the big house
Yesterday Michael Gove asked Ofsted to ditch the much loved SEF (Self Evaluation Form). The full article and statement with the relevant letter is here
I discussed this in a staff meeting last night with one of the Leicestershire primary schools we work with. After the delighted head left the room, one of the teachers raised an interesting point. She almost copied this sentence from the article We believe that teachers – not bureaucrats and politicians – should run schools without seeing it.
'And you know what that means don't you? It means that we'll see big drops in money coming into schools. The heads will then have to reduce staff and the politicians will be able to say it's all the heads' fault. Nothing to do with us. The Daily Mail will love it!'
I've deliberately tagged this blog post with words which the social media teams in the big house should find. Let's see if they're any good at finding stuff and secondly if they have a response to that comment. I suspect the space below will stay quite empty.
What do you think of that teacher's comments?
And – by the way – has anyone else noticed that the revamped Department for Education website STILL does not have an obvious search feature?

Sunday, January 1, 2012
A strong earthquake just jolted up a part of Japan, but fortunately, it didn't cause any damage. Where did I know about this? The Internet, of course. If you want to constantly be updated with the latest happenings the world over, then you may need the latest news to come straight to your email inbox.
Unfortunately, for you, different websites offer different versions of the stories – but which one of them is accurate and reliable, so that you may subscribe to the feeds of the website? The answer is that no website can claim to be a 100% accurate. For that reason, we use Google News.
Google News is a product of Google, which collects news from various website and puts it on its homepage. (Also called a news aggregator). So how exactly will you be getting all the latest stories from Google News?
The answer is simple – through a RSS Feed. Google News offers a secret RSS feed (well, its not a secret – but its hidden) option, where you can subscribe to all the latest updates from any RSS reader.
To get the RSS feed of Google News, go to the section (for eg: Technology) you would like to subscribe to (the huge list on the left side) and in the url, add &output=rss. For example:
In the above sample URL, you added the &output=rss. Now, when you go to that URL, you will be sent the the RSS feeds of Google News.
Now that the RSS feed is set up, how do you forward updates to your Email ID? This is where services like Feed My Inbox comes to the rescue. All you need to do is to head to the website and type in the URL of the RSS feed you just created and give it your email address. Any updates in the feed will be sent to your inbox – in real time.
NOTE: If you would like to subscribe to any news, in general, or breaking news, I suggest you chose the "Top Stories" section, and then subscribe to its updates.

The 2000 Year Epic Campaign
Nythsaillaeth Whitestorm
One of many cell leaders of the Arethrion Elves of Northern Decius, "Nyth" has been fighting the oppressors known as the Galerius Brotherhood for some time. This is part of a recent change in ideology, as before the snow elves would defend their lands. Now they take the fight to them.
Recently Nyth's group was captured as they were on their way to the capital of Centum Treyopolis to act against the Brotherhood. She managed to escape and follow her comrades back to the town of Savarius, where she hopes to free them.
Session #12 (3rd Era) – During the announcement in Savarius to execute the snow elves, Un'Goro twice spotted a cloaked figure watching and observing. Late into the evening, Triton found Nyth on the roof of the Silver Wand Inn and talked to her, learning what she needed to do and how the Galerius Brotherhood has oppressed others, like the dragonborn, and made them serve their cause.
Session #18 (3rd Era ) – Nyth helped the heroes find the Cave of the Ancients were they tried (and eventually failed) to save the Snow Queen from the clutches of the Arch Mage.
Transition from 3rd to 4th Era – With the loss of the Snow Queen and her guardians, the Mountain Kinsmen, the Arethrion Elves looked for spiritual leader of their people. Nyth stepped up to be that person and she was granted the title of Snow Queen, an honor to the fallen legend that once watched over the snow elves.
Session #13 (3rd Era) – The breakout and rescue of the Arethrion Elves from the prison is Savarius was a success. One strange moment during the escape was once the group reached the exit from the underground passage. Nyth left a single rowboat there, but when got to it, a second rowboat was there as well. Which would be needed to transport the senior officers who helped in the escape. Once they were back on board the Sea Word, Nyth asked for her and her people to be dropped off near Basti at the mouth of Emperor Bay. Before doing so she gave Un'Goro a necklace so that other Arethrion Elves would recognize him as a friend.

Where You'll Find Me by Audrye Sessions
(Vintage wedding dress from Kitten Paws Vintage, thrifted BC Footwear boots, Victoria's Secret Garter Belt, nude seamline stockings purchased online from Lucy B, flower ribbon-belt handmade by moi)
My dress from Kitten Paws Vintage came. I feel very girly in it, although I have to say that wearing it is a little bitter-sweet. (It's a long story, I won't get into details.) It's vintage perfection in a very pale, peachy-cream color that I just adore. The gathered sweetheart bust and the tulle make me feel so flirty too. I'll admit: today I didn't do much, but the way I see it; that's no excuse not to dress up. Lol. Besides, I can't just sit around and mope! Instead, two very productive things I did do included making homemade "whoopi" cakes and doing this mini shoot with my mom to get my mind off of things.
Also, there's a very interesting story behind the doll in that last shot. My mom made it for me when I was little, and whilst sewing, she stuck herself with the needle on accident and bled a little on it, and the stain it left was in the distinct shape of a tiny heart. What's more odd, is that the stain is right where the heart would be. She ended up sewing a gold heart charm with a ruby in it on top, but you can still see the stain to this day <3

Some Florida lawmakers are taking a much too narrow approach to the problem of restoring mandatory auto inspections. The House Transportation Committee has approved a bill to require only inspections of exhaust emissions, not other safety defects, and do so only in the six urban counties where air pollution currently violates federal standards.
That would be inadequate and a big mistake.
Enforcing vehicle safety rules is clearly a statewide responsibility and should be handled on a statewide basis, not with different standards for different counties.
While exhaust pollution is a severe problem in only six counties at present -- Palm Beach, Broward, Dade, Pinellas, Hillsborough and Duval, it will clearly spread as the state population continues to grow.
Having exhaust inspections only for residents of six counties will do nothing to protect those residents from faulty exhausts on cars owned by Floridians who live in rural areas and visit those counties.
Requiring only exhaust inspections, and nothing more, misses a golden opportunity to inspect cars for all kinds of safety defects, including burnt- out or misaimed headlights, bald tires, bad or nonworking brakes, poor steering and poor wheel alignment.
Florida must do at least as much as the bill requires. This will be needed to combat ozone and carbon monoxide pollution that poisons the air with an urban smog, threatens people's health with heart and lung problems and puts the state at risk of losing millions of dollars in federal transportation funds and facing other costly economic sanctions unless its takes corrective action.
But to do only this much is to ignore the wider problem -- numerous unsafe vehicles on the road, which are linked to an estimated 5 percent of all traffic accidents. These vehicles place drivers, passengers and pedestrians at greater risk of accident, injury and death.
It also ignores the need to join with 45 other states and impose heavy fines for drivers who tamper with unleaded-only fuel tanks to allow use of cheaper, dirtier leaded gasoline, or remove pollution control devices to boost engine performance.
Rural lawmakers may be hard to sell on the idea of reinstating statewide mandatory auto inspections, covering various safety defects.
But once again, the people of Florida are showing a more enlightened attitude than some of their so-called leaders. Of Floridians surveyed in a recent AAA poll, 80 percent supported annual inspections of some type, with 63 percent supporting combining emissions checks with other safety inspections.
The idea of restoring required auto inspections may be controversial, but it is essential.

Alitalia scraps 40 flights over strike
Rome, September 17, 2008
Alitalia will cancel 40 flights on Wednesday because of a strike by a small union but not because of problems buying fuel for the near-bankrupt airline, an Alitalia spokesman said.
Alitalia's bankruptcy commissioner has warned that Italy's largest airline is running out of cash for fuel and that flights could be grounded if unions do not agree quickly to a buyout offer by a group of investors.
Labour Minister Maurizio Sacconi said Alitalia's major unions would be called on Thursday to say whether or not they agree to the rescue plan, which involves over 3,000 layoffs.
The small CUB union, leading Wednesday's strike, opposes the rescue plan for the state-controlled airline and is boycotting talks. But CUB support is not seen as critical to the deal.
"This is a massacre," said CUB union leader Fabio Frati. The four-hour strike is set to begin at 12 pm (1000 GMT). The cancelled flights are on Italian and European routes.
Transport Minister Altero Matteoli criticised striking when the near-bankrupt carrier can barely afford to keep flying.
"Calling a strike during negotiations shows great irresponsibility. The parties are negotiating, the government is directly involved," Matteoli told local television.
Unions are worried about job and wage cuts in a rescue plan that would see investors snap up only the profitable parts of the airline before relaunching it as a slimmed-down carrier.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has offered special payouts to the 3,250 workers who would lose their jobs but warns that the offer would be withdrawn if the airline collapses.
Deadlines have come and gone and Sacconi said the very last moment for unions to sign up would be Thursday when the business consortium's board decides whether to pursue the buyout.
"By Thursday morning, we'll ask who's on board. We'll sign with whoever's on board," Sacconi told local TV. "That way we will verify the level of consensus and everyone (all the unions) will be called to respond."
An Alitalia collapse would be a huge political blow for Berlusconi, a media mogul who promised voters he would use his business contacts to find it an Italian buyer.
The airline loses more than 2 million euros a day -- a state of affairs blamed on years of political interference, labour disputes, mismanagement and, most recently, soaring fuel costs. "There is little money, actually very little and it's about to run out," said bankruptcy commissioner Augusto Fantozzi.
Alitalia risks becoming the first major European flag carrier to go bust since Swissair and Sabena collapsed in 2001. Britain's third-largest package holiday operator, XL Leisure Group, has grounded all flights after going into administration and discount carrier Zoom Airlines is in bankruptcy proceedings. - Reuters

I had to laugh as I watched a couple--both thin, by the way--having loads of fun "stocking up."
The big difference was they were buying 1 bag of candy and a couple Cadbury eggs--not lots of bags and the entire stash of eggs!
This is how people who are thin think and behave. A good lesson for me.
Chocolate freezes, right?
The funniest part was the guy actually suggested they get another bag--"it will freeze, won't it?" I couldn't resist and said, yes it freezes, but it will never make it to the freezer. The lady totally busted up and he said, "You're right, it probably won't make it through the weekend!"
The biggest difference isn't that they don't enjoy eating candy, it is they know it is not the best decision for their body and that they will regret it later. They will feel physically ill and so they choose to restrict what they bring into the house as a way to do a favor to themselves.
Pretty smart.
Do yourself a favor, and follow their example for weight loss success!
To your healthy, energetic and slender body--you deserve it!

Before 1961 the residents of Ottershaw had to travel to either Chertsey or Addlestone to visit the doctor.
However, in that year Dr. Stevenson arrived in Ottershaw, put up his plate in Southwood Avenue, and spent the next thirty years increasing his list of patients to 4000, which entailed extending his waiting room facilities and adding part time and full time partners.
Dr Stevenson was born in Glasgow in 1931, educated after the war at Hillhead High School and Glasgow University. He graduated with a commendation in 1955. He married Irene, also a Glasgow graduate, a year later, and after three years in the RAF working as a doctor and specializing in the delivery of babies to the families in the RAF at his posting in Laarbruck, North West Germany.
He was asked to join the practice in London Street, Chertsey working with Drs Ward, Crickmay, Crokett, Crail, Davidson and Critchley.
Dr Stevenson was one of the last old fashioned doctors who lived "above the shop"; did all his own night calls and with the help of midwife nurse Durbridge delivered over two thousands babies, either in the home or in the maternity hospitals.
For the first eleven years someone had to be in the house to answer the telephone as there were no facilities for transferring the phone to other doctors and no such thing as "emergency call services". With the help of several "au pair' girls Irene manned the telephones, taking mainly calls for visits. At first no appointment system existed, so Dr Stevenson saw everyone who turned up at the surgery and then did the house calls.
In the 1970's Dr Stevenson was instrumental in setting up the maternity ultra sound unit at St Peter's, as he was trained by Professor Ian Donald in Glasgow and Professor Stuart Campbell in Queen Charlotte's in London. He used to give talks to many groups to encourage gifts of money for the new equipment and St Peter's was the first district hospital South of London to have an ultrasound scanner.
A colourful person, Dr Stevenson was a familiar figure driving around in PUG 7, smoking his pipe. His mantra was always, "Do as I say and not what I do!"
He was always very supportive of the activities in the village, attending village fetes, refereeing Rugby matches for Ottershaw school's Old Boys team, attending many functions for the elderly organised by the Red Cross, and organised by Mr Ken Beeson and Mr Arnold Albon, two very philanthropic residents of Ottershaw.
He also supported his wife's activities in the Ottershaw Players, the Medical Benevolent Society, and very importantly, Woking and District Scottish Society, which he helped to start in the late 1960's with several other doctors.
The Stevensons raised three daughters, who all attended Ottershaw Village School, run then by Mrs Ensor.
Kirstean, the eldest, is a Paediatric Psychiatric Consultant in Portsmouth, Heather is a G.P. in Queensland Australia, Ruth has recently obtained a Ph.D. from Aberystwyth University and is senior lecturer at the Centre for Alternative Energy in Machynlleth, Wales.
Dr and Mrs Stevenson continue to live in Ottershaw.

The JoBlo Sunday Night Movie Chat: The Wolverine
What better way to follow up a cult classic than with one of the most anticipated movies of the year? So far this year, the reaction to the two big comic-related movies have been very mixed in the chat. I don't believe this will be the case with this week's big release, The Wolverine.
For the past year and a half, yours truly has been hosting The JoBlo Sunday Night Movie Chat every Sunday night at 7pm EST. We've chatted about all kinds of awesome flicks. Movies such as The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-man, The Dark Knight and the Hellboy series have all been topics for the chat. It's the best place on the internet to get together in a fun and friendly atmosphere to talk about the movies we love.
All you need to do is head to OUR CHATROOM at 7pm EST and make sure to log in with your MFC username and password. You are encouraged to bring up comments or questions about the movie at hand, or feel free to just hang out and and see what everyone else is chatting about. The regulars are extremely friendly people that will definitely make you feel welcome. And believe me, they are very, very cool schmoes.
And please remember this. Be respectful of others and their opinions during the chat. It's great to have multiple opinions of movies in the chat. I love that. What I don't love is for people to be insulted or badmouthed about their opinions. Directly insulting someone and/or trolling people will get you kicked from the chat.
The Wolverine has been one of my most anticipated movies for awhile now. It's about time we get a good movie devoted to the character. Thankfully, according Chris Bumbray's review it looks like we are finally going to get that! It's about friggin' time!
Join us this Sunday at 7pm EST and let us know what you think of the return of The Wolverine to the big screen, bub!

Chicken Divan
- 1-1/2 lbs broccoli (3 large heads) chopped
- 2 lb. to 2 1/2lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp shallots, minced (onions would work too)
- 5 tbsp flour
- 1 ½ cup fat free chicken broth
- 1 ½ cup fat free milk
- 2 tbsp. dry sherry (white wine would work)
- 2 wedges of garlic and herb Laughing Cow Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Breadcrumbs (as much as needed)
- 3 eggs
Yields 8-10 servings
Process: 45 minutes to an hour
Modified from Eating Well
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch 3 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Pound the chicken to about ¼ inch thickness (this will speed up the frying and cooking time). Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. In a flatter larger dish add a layer of breadcrumbs. Toss the chicken with egg mixture and coat on both sides with breadcrumbs. Repeat this step with all of the chicken.
Using a sauté pan, sauté chicken on medium-low heat on both sides until browned, and just about cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side( depending on thickness). Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cooled, slice chicken into bite sized pieces.
Heat a medium skillet on medium heat. Add the butter and oil until melted and then add garlic and shallots. Sprinkle the flour and whisk until smooth. Stir in broth, milk and sherry and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in laughing cow cheese and ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add enough of the cooked broccoli to the bottom of the pan add some of the sauce mixture and place the chicken on top of the broccoli. Add the rest of the broccoli and then add the rest of the sauce mixture as the last layer.
Sprinkle the last of the Parmesan cheese on top of the whole casserole and bake in the oven at 350 Degrees for 20 minutes.

We've all had them: ambitious resolutions to give up smoking, drinking, shrink three dress sizes, land our dream job, find our future hubby and put away £1,000 in savings... all by February 1st.
Many of us will be familiar with those feelings of shame as we realise (only half way through January) that those good intentions have been abandoned, forgotten or are unravelling before our very peepers.
And should we be surprised? January is quite possibly the worst month to be setting oneself ambitious goals for the year ahead. Aside from it being dark and grizzly, we're also depressingly poor and still paying off December's overdraft. Add into the mix the fact that post Crimbo, most of us are significantly tubbier, recuperating from the stress of festive family friction, have recently endured the anti-climax of New Year's Eve and the ensuing two-day hangover... and to top it all off, now have to face the reality of going back to work. Whoopido.
Why the heck do we aspire to give up the very things that bring us comfort amidst such bleak January blues when experience tells us that resolutions are so often short-lived? Cue our motto... 'Get Addicted To The Good Stuff': instead of focusing on ditching what's bad for you, focus on the upsides of your newly adopted habit.
Replace the "I can't" mentality that focuses on the lack of, with gentle reminders of what can be enjoyed and what you are gaining. Instead of "I can't have my ten cigarettes a day", think, "I can have fresh breath", or "I can spend that money on a meal out instead." The principle of 'getting addicted to the good stuff' can be applied to any thing at any time; you've just got to be creative with your thinking.
To make it stick, firstly acknowledge an attitude of easy does it - after all, the tortoise often wins the race (it doesn't always pay to be a hasty hare). You'll increase the chances of sustaining your resolution long-term if you get off to a slow and steady start.
Secondly, always remember to start where you are. If you're planning on running a marathon in April but haven't yet been seen in your gym gear, accept that you won't be running 18 miles in the first session. Well you might, but you'll probably die. Perhaps begin with a 10 minute jog and increase it slowly.
Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.
Stinkin' thinkin'
Before any external improvements, such as; weight loss, bagging Romeo or attaining that dream career, your internal thoughts need some serious TLC. Our thoughts create our reality and so it stands to reason that if we desire a great reality, we need to be harbouring even greater thoughts.
You are not your mind. You can choose your thoughts. So start choosing them this year. Make 2014 the year you begin realising your potential and banish those self-sabotaging behaviours once and for all.
Before focusing outwardly, ask yourself about how you feel within. What weighs on your mind? What do you need to let go of? How do you want to feel in 2014?
Dry January and beyond...
What might you gain from a month or more off the booze? By focusing on abstinence, life can feel miserable and deprived but if you look at the reasons why you've needed to use alcohol excessively - and strive to overcome them - you might be onto something.
Feel socially awkward without a tipple to hand? Know it, own it and improve on it. Go out and practise socialising sober - you may want to dive into a hole initially (we certainly did) but stick at it and progress will be made.
Trying to give your poor liver a rest? Make it fun by choosing tasty mocktails on a night out and by upping your daily water intake. The results will be radiating through your skin, serving as a visible incentive to keep you off the juice - never mind saving a whole lotta pennies.
Weight loss
Aiming for a dramatic diet overhaul? Your waistline has undoubtedly expanded over the Christmas break and will be craving larger potions than usual. So fill it full... with the 'good stuff'!
Make a list of the health foods you actually enjoy eating; buy 'em and indulge. Restricting portion size or forcing yourself to eat 'good' foods you don't particularly like won't motivate you long-term. You can always step up the intensity once the January blues are behind you and you feel ready for a more militant diet regime. Rome was not built in a day, and neither will your Adonis body be.
Toxic relationships
If what Jim Rohn says about becoming 'the average of the five people you spend the most time with' is true, some of us may need to embark on a relationship cleanse in 2014.
Who are the people in your life that make you feel energised and expansive, as if anything is possible? Hold on to them and see more of them this year. 'Getting addicted to the good stuff' is all about surrounding yourself with people who want to see you at your best.
And the emotional vampires, the heartbreakers, the ones who leave you drained, frustrated and deflated on a regular basis? Take a gentle step back and make room for the new.
Time to get busy.
Happy New Year to you!

Stink snob...
It's always so hard to get back into the swing of things after a vacation. I'm even having a hard time house-hunting and have had to drag myself from house after house. Yesterday we looked more closely at the house we thought we loved and then today we looked at two more. I like to think that I'm one of those buyers who can look past miles of maroon shag carpeting and enormous furniture, but man! What are people thinking?! Today we looked at a house that I probably would have liked if it wasn't so damn dark and I'm beginning to think that I'm addicted to light. I would die to see places like these from Light Locations (a site I found via Remodelista). Our budget wouldn't like it, but these images are certainly adding fuel to my fire. Look at this outbuilding...
Fabulous! You know what would be even more fabulous? If real estate ads came with smell...I could rule out a lot of houses that way. Our poor noses!

This brief has asked us to create 4 double page spreads. The first 2 are our own 'environments' that we like and want to investigate or something we are around a lot. The double page spreads will be for a photography magazine (I will need to note about camera quality, composition, editing(photoshop), page layout, text layout).
For the last 2 spreads we have been asked to design them around the 2 trips we have coming up, the first being to Dungeness and the second to The Crystal, where we must gather as many different photographs to use in our spreads.

E: I love this so much. How did you choose these three images?
C: I chose these three images because they are what stuck in my head visually, Scarlett and her different connections - her horse is #1; her recurring nightmare and brothers death, #2, represented by being buried / sinking in the sand; #3, connection to a boy, Will. These three seemed to give a good idea about what is represented in the book specifically focusing on love, fear & hope.
E: Tell me about the process of a finished photograph—from snapping it to printing it.
C: This took a while to complete from conception to printing, arranging for a 17 yr. old hand model - a local relative, but both of us are without cars, me by choice her by situation being as she's 17. So we had two shoot days as we ran out of light the first time as we were relying on public transit and had limited options for days/times to meet up. I had already decided I wanted to keep it simple and just focus on a hand in each image, her hand in different vignettes so that's what I did, picking three significant connections or emotions. When it came time to edit the images, I first tried a variety of sepia toned gradients and colors to try to evoke more feeling but after a several iterations I decided I liked the look of the images with a slight wash or faded effect so they are not vibrant & strong but more subdued and hopefully reflect a more hazy/dazed emotional state of mind. I chose to print this piece on metallic paper so it has a strange, reflective & shiny quality, which I think inspires curiosity from a distance and helps draw viewers in.
E: How did you develop your business? Word of mouth? Advertising?
C: I worked as an apprentice for a top OC wedding photographer for 4 years then when out on my own about 5 years ago. I initially focused on weddings and pregnancy portraits, but I enjoy variety so have been shooting whatever comes my way since then. If I had more of a focus I might advertise, but I don't yet want to be anchored down into one type of photography so all my business has been Word of Mouth. Referrals are a huge part of me being able to do photography professionally, and I am so grateful to the people around me for keeping the cycle going. I would love to do more editorial work and book covers, so I will be pursuing that this coming year and can't wait to do more fun projects more in line with the documentary style photography that I enjoy.
E: Who and what inspire you?
C: Go getters inspire me. How do they do that? Like Richard Simmons, where does he find his energy and gusto. I like it and his strong sense of self. Random I know, but I just heard him interviewed and they told a story of him on a plane and how he shifted the energy of the plane, got everyone interacting and laughing... what a great strong being he is, positively affecting the space around him. I of course love artists and musicians and photographers and writers, comedians especially - they put themselves on stage - open and vulnerable and honest. As a photographer I think I could walk around all day every day and photograph anything in nature backlit, with light shining through the leaves or branches. This inspires me, makes me curious and yet serene.
E: What is a typical workday like for you?
E: What is a typical workday like for you?
C: It's improv every time. I have an idea of what I want to do, but no idea exactly what I will shoot. I always use natural light, I shoot on location, no studio, so I only get natural--hopefully more genuine--images of people. I try to create a calm and playful environment so that everyone is as at ease as they can be in front of a camera and we move, we walk, we play, we sit still once in a while, and I do my best to capture the essence of people in their environments.
After a shoot I spend double the amount of time editing - the process of downloading the images, editing out those that don't work, then making any color adjustments and converting raw uncompressed images into JPG files for printing and sharing online. I love playing with color or black & white or sepia tones to see what colors best represent the images, and once I get to see them printed I am so happy as I get to help people preserve a sweet moment in time.
E: What other projects—both professional and personal—are you involved in?
C: Professionally, I prefer doing maternity and newborn portraits, but I also shoot weddings and some family portraits throughout the year for variety and, quite frankly, to stay in business. Personally, I have a few projects going. The one I have shot most is the 'Artist Process' series where I visit artists/craftsmen (focusing on handmade goods from Southern California) in their workspace and interview them about their process. I have posted them on my photography blog with all the other professional shoots so they are mingling among the clients.
|Casey Larae
E: What advice would you give people who'd like to break into the art world?
C: No idea - I've heard work begets work, so work work work… and as an artist I like to think of it as play… so Play more.
E: Do you have a web presence?
E: If you could meet any character in SACRED, who would it be and why?
C: Will or his Dad - I'd enjoy a philosophical conversation with Mr. Cohen, but I'd enjoy a date with green-eyed Will.
E: That makes two of us.
Here are Casey's lovely images once again:
And if you're in the LA area, please do visit the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in Redondo Beach tonight, November 13 at 7:30, to visit with the great artists who are being featured on my blog and to hear me read a bit from SACRED!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I'm very excited! Definitely one of my favorite holidays. Thanksgiving is one of those days where its perfectly acceptable to eat all day long lots of rich yummy foods and not feel guilty about it, even as you loosen the button of your pants (unless you planned ahead and wore elastic waistband pants!). Not only is Thanksgiving itself a great holiday for eating and giving thanks and spending time with friends and family, its also the start of the Christmas season too! Another of my favorite holidays! Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, its a month and a half of eating and partying! I love it!
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!"
Psalm 107:1
In honor of Thanksgiving, one of my favorite dishes my mom always made for us growing up is sweet potato casserole. Now as an adult I make my mom's recipe myself. I just made some this weekend for a Thanksgiving-type potluck at my church. A lot of people do the whole marshmellow topping with sweet potatoes. For us, we skip the marshmellows and do a different type of sweet topping for our sweet potatoes.
Usually, I also use canned sweet potatoes but this year I decided to get some fresh sweet potatoes from the farmers market. A little more time and work but a lovely fresh taste. Here's what you'll need:
Mom's Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients: About 8-10 medium sized sweet potatoes (or 2 large cans in syrup, drained); 2 eggs; 1/2 cup whipping cream; 1/2 stick butter softened; 2 tsp cinnamon; For topping: 1 cup uncooked oatmeal; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 tsp cinnamon; 1 cup chopped pecans; 1/2 stick butter melted
Wash fresh sweet potatoes thoroughly and gently dry with a paper towel. Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for an hour. Let them cool slightly. Then peel and mash them.
With mashed sweet potatoes in a mixer, add eggs, whipping cream, softened butter, and cinnamon. Mix until well blended and spread into a 9x13 baking dish.
For topping, mix together oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and melted butter. Mix until well blended and spread over potatoes.
Bake the dish in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. The pecans topping will be lightly toasted and add a sweet crunch to the potatoes.
So for this Thanksgiving, if you're looking for a sweet potato casserole minus the gooey marshmellows, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Excise Movement and Control System: exceptions to the use of EMCS procedures
Simplified procedures allowed under Part 9 of HMDP
Part 9 of HMDP provides for the circumstances under which intra-UK duty suspended goods can be moved without being under the cover of an eAD. These are outside the scope of EMCS and are known as simplified procedures and are specific to:
- Movements of alcohol goods from producers registered under the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act (ALDA) 1979. Simplified procedures only apply where ownership of the goods does not change, for example the goods may be sent to an excise warehouse for bottling/packaging/storage purposes and subsequently returned using commercial documentation in place of an eAD (regulation 62 of HMDP refers).
- Tobacco products dispatched from tobacco registered premises to an excise warehouse for packaging, repackaging or testing, which may move under commercial documentation (regulation 63 of HMDP refers).
Authorised warehousekeepers who are approved for Local Clearance Procedures (LCP) (Article 253b of Commission Regulation 2454/93 - Implementing Provisions for the Community Customs Code). They may move alcohol or tobacco from their premises in duty suspension for direct export without an eAD subject to the following conditions:
- Box 44 of the Customs export declaration (submitted to CHIEF) must be completed to indicate the person providing the movement guarantee.
- At all times, the movement is accompanied by a document prepared by the person who completed the export declaration and this document must contain details of the Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) number allocated to the export declaration.
- No goods may be removed from their premises until all the conditions contained in their LCP authorisation have been complied with and a P2P (Permission to progress) message has been received from CHIEF (regulation 63A of HMDP refers).
Movements of intra-UK energy products
Regulation 56 of HMDP 2010 excludes duty-suspended intra-UK movements of energy products from EMCS (also see regulation 17(5) of the Excise Warehousing (etc) Regulations (EWER) 1988). The existing procedures using a W8 or commercial equivalent to move these goods continue to apply. However, in situations where an intra-UK movement has started under cover of a W8, but the destination subsequently changes, for example the consignee decides they no longer want the goods, the movement may only be consigned to another UK trader authorised to receive that type of energy product or returned to the original dispatching warehouse. Goods moving under a W8 cannot be consigned directly to a non-UK destination. Where the new destination is outside the UK, the W8 must first be discharged by delivering the goods to approved premises in the UK. Once the W8 has been discharged, a second movement can be started from these premises to move the goods to their new non-UK destination by raising an eAD on EMCS.
Small wine producers
Article 40 of Directive 2008/118 allows MS to exempt their small wine producers (ie those producing on average less than 1000 hectolitres of wine per year) from EMCS procedures. UK consignees (warehousekeepers, registered consignees and temporary registered consignees) may therefore receive consignments of wine in duty suspension not covered by an eAD. However such consignments received should be accompanied by a document completed in accordance with Title III, Chapter II of Commission Regulation 436/2009.
Note: This simplification does not apply to dispatches of wine from the UK.

40% of Homes underwater
The percentage of underwater Palm Beach County homes with mortgages was 36.6 percent in the first quarter of the year, the second quarter in a row to see a dip below 40 percent.
According to a report released this morning by the Irvine, Calif.-based CoreLogic, about 113,800 homeowners in Palm Beach County owed more on their mortgages than their homes were worth during the first three months of 2013.
That's a nearly 10,000-home drop from the end of 2012 when 124,105 county homes were underwater.
The county's highest underwater rate was measured in the third quarter of 2009 when 44.8 percent of homeowners owed more on their mortgage than their home was worth.
Still, statewide, Florida ranked second nationally for the highest rate of negative equity with 38.1 percent of all homes underwater.
Tampa and Miami ranked highest nationally among large metro areas for the percent of underwater homes at 44.1 percent and 40.7 percent, respectively.
CoreLogic Chief Economist Mark Fleming was mostly optimistic about increasing equity nationwide.
Nationally, 19.8 percent of all homes with a mortgage were underwater during the first quarter. That's down from 21.7 percent at the end of 2012.
"The impressive home price gains of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 have had a big impact on the distribution of residential home equity," Fleming said. "During the past year, 1.7 million borrowers nationwide have regained positive equity. We expect the pent-up supply that falling negative equity releases will moderate price gains in many of the fast-appreciating markets this spring."
Nevada had the highest percentage of mortgaged properties in negative equity, followed by Florida at 38.1 percent. Other states with high negative equity were Michigan (32 percent), Arizona (31.3 percent) and Georgia (30.5 percent).
