I haven't seen a thread on this subject, so let's do it! I'd like to leave Tex-Mex places out of the discussion unless they have a decent amount of authentic Mexican items on the menu, or something that's really unique and spectacular. And let's keep it east of I-95.
El Picante Mexican Grill
111 W Fire Tower Rd
Winterville, NC 28590
Probably the most gringo-friendly of the Greenville places. The owner and most staff speak English fluently, and they take plastic. They have several different types of tortas, tacos come in al pastor, tripe, tongue, chicken, and azada. They also have Nayarit style tacos(shrimp, fish, and breaded chicken), which have melted cheese and a special sauce whose flavor is hard to describe. They're very good though, and a unique item- I haven't seen this kind of taco anywhere else around here. The tacos al pastor are the best in town.
Supermercado El Rancho
2500 Charles Blvd
Greenville, NC 27858
This is a grocery store/carniceria that has an attached sit-down restaurant. The menu is a bit more extensive than El Picante, but I don't feel like the preparation is quite as good for most items. They have several really unique, somewhat baroque tortas- I've had a couple but the "española" sticks out in my mind, with its chorizo and egg. They also do really excellent fried quail. Birria and pozole are served on weekends. There's a good sized salsa/condiment bar.
El Rodeo Carniceria
102 Airport Rd
Greenville, NC 27834
El Rodeo is another carniceria, this time on the other side of town. I've only eaten here once and was pretty unimpressed. They had an impressive list of soups and stews which included birria and consomé de borrego, but I was told that they didn't have any soups or stews(despite them comprised about half of the menu). I ordered a couple of tacos instead, and both were pretty bad. The salsas had a bitter, acrid taste to them and were kinda gross. Avoid!
El Azador
1200 N Greene St
Greenville, NC 27834
Right across the street from El Rodeo. I haven't been in probably two years since El Picante and El Rancho are so much more convenient, but I did have some pretty good tacos de chorizo there once upon a time. I'd like to go back and try there pollo azado- they make a big deal out of it being cooked over coals.
There are tons of places, but I'm really only familiar with Taqueria Guerrero, having eaten from their taco truck a few times in various places.
La Esperanza
305 W 3rd St
Robersonville, NC 27871
This is a grocery store with a small attached restaurant. I just found out about it recently, so I haven't had the chance to sample it in any great depth. The major quirk here is that they don't have a menu- one of the employees will tell you what they're serving that day in so-so English. I had tacos al pastor when I went, and they were good. The salsas were above average, too.
Los Garcia's Store
6201 Mackeys Rd
Roper, NC
This was a favorite of mine when I worked in Plymouth. Could use a status update, as I've heard that it has closed, but I haven't been down that way to verify. It's out in the country and has a country store atmosphere- many of the customers are non-Hispanic. My favorite was always the sopes and the green hot sauce.

The Aberfest 06 will take place again this Easter with an even more ambitious programme of events. Aberfest takes place every Easter, the venue alternating between Brittany and Cornwall.
This year the organisers are delighted with local support as Cornwall welcomes a party of 87 musicians, dancers and wrestlers from the Morbihan region. This includes a 40 strong Breton dance team called Avel han Tadeu (translated from Breton means "As Our Fathers").
Events centre around the Easter weekend and start in Falmouth on the Saturday morning with street performances and a procession through the town.
If anyone wants to learn Breton or Cornish songs or dances, there will be workshops in Falmouth Methodist Chapel during the Saturday afternoon.
The highlight of the Saturday events will be at the Princess Pavilions on the Easter Saturday night when a host of Cornish and Breton musicians will be performing on two separate stages. There will be ample opportunity to dance the night away and learn some Breton and Cornish dance steps.
On Easter Sunday afternoon the venue moves to the atmospheric setting of St Michaels Mount. There will be a procession across the causeway and then a host of performances at various sites on the Mount. This should provide an opportunity to see Cornish and Breton Wrestling, watch demonstrations of dance in traditional costume and listen to a host of musicians.
AberFest is a celebration of all things Cornish and Breton. The story began many years ago when a group of Cornish musicians and dancers were invited to the village of Brandivy in the Morbihan region of Brittany. There have since been many visits to Brittany and the AberFest arose from a desire to return that excellent hospitality. This is the third festival held here in Cornwall and it continues to grow and build on the successes of previous events. Its aim, however, is to remain true to the spirit of the early days when Cornish and Breton tunes and dances were shared and everyone had a great time over the Easter weekend.
EASTER SATURDAY APRIL 15 FALMOUTH 10.30am Performances on The Moor by Breton and Cornish musicians and dancers 12.00 Procession through Falmouth starting from the Moor Everyone welcome 2.00 4.30 Music and Dance Workshops and Breton-Cornish Cafe Methodist Chapel, The Moor ABERFESTNOZ 8PM AT THE PRINCESS PAVILLIONS, FALMOUTH The highlight of the Falmouth events. An evening of the best of Cornish and Breton music and dance. Lots of opportunities to join in with the dancing.
EASTER SUNDAY APRI 16 ST MICHAELS MOUNT, MARAZION The event starts at 1.30 when the tide is low enough to allow a grand procession across the causeway to the Mount. During the afternoon there will be the chance to see and hear storytelling, music, dance and wrestling in many locations around the Mount.

In a response to the United Nations Periodic Review, a four–year human rights check-up for all countries, Indonesia said this month, "The Government of Indonesia supports the promotion and protection of indigenous people worldwide… Indonesia, however, does not recognise the application of the indigenous peoples concept… in the country".
This More News: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/
The UN's report recommended that Indonesia should consider ratifying ILO Convention 169, the only international law for indigenous and tribal peoples. It also recommended that Indonesia should secure the rights of indigenous peoples, especially to their traditional lands, territories and resources. Indonesia's denial of the existence of indigenous peoples within its borders was in response to this.
Survival International, the NGO which campaigns for the rights of tribal people, believes that Indonesia treats its indigenous and tribal people, especially in West Papua, worse than any other country in the world. In West Papua killings, torture and rape of tribal people are commonplace – the figure of 100,000 people killed since 1963 is believed to be a conservative estimate.
The denial of the very existence of indigenous peoples in Indonesia is symptomatic of the government's total disregard for their rights.
Indonesia's President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, will travel to the UK for a State visit on October 31st.

My Kitchen Rules – Deb And Rick 'Old School' Cooking Was Not Good Enough
As soon as you saw Deb and Rick's "old school" menu you knew they were gone. They kicked it off with this series trend prawn and avocado, this time in the form of a tart. However Deb decided to give it her own downmarket Four Ingredient Cookbook twist to the dish by using white bread as a base.
Quite rightly Chloe was a bit pissy about it considering she and Kelly had been castigated about using store bought bread. At least theirs was Ciabatta not down market plain white Wondersoft.
Needless to say the four judges were a bit bewildered by it.
For main the SA couple made Lamb Shanks with a curry sauce and sweet potato and carrot mash. This was looking a bit dodgy but apparently the sauce had a lot of flavour. Maybe Deb was right with adding extra curry powder.
However their dessert of "twice baked" Sticky Date Pudding just was pedestrian. Sure it can be delicious but it is not that difficult to make. Also their cooking style was highlighted when Rick was making the vanilla ice cream when he did not use a vanilla pod but liquid essence.
They had a timing issue with puddings and had to pull them out of the oven before they served up their main. As the teams are sent out of the kitchen whilst the judges taste their dishes. Lucky for them it did rise again but it would have not been fantastic. Pete Evans said it was too sweet, but he did like their lamb shanks but thought it needed more sauce.
Uel and Shannelle finally stuck with Asian cuisine. They made a Singapore Chilli Soft Shell Crab which looked delicious but not sure why they decided to deep fry the steamed buns.
Jason was worried for the Sydney couple as they had not started cooking the buns or crab 45 minutes out. What? The crab would have been inedible if it sat there for 35 minutes.
Their main was Braised Pork Belly with Quail Eggs and Bok Choy. It took the Uel the whole of the main course prep time to peel the eggs. The pork was well cooked but all the judges thought the sauce lacked flavour and Colin thought something was missing.
Their Pandan Coconut Filled Pancakes looked delicious which all the judges bar Pete liked. He thought the pancake was too sweet and the sauce too salty.
However as soon as Deb and Rick started getting five's from the judges you knew they were goners.
My Kitchen Rules on SEVEN Mon to Wed at 7.30pm.

I also thought the criticism of the fruit was ridiculous. Saying fruit doesn't go with a sausage roll, is as lame as saying fruit doesn't go with a sandwich. Well gice, it's not meant to – it's actually an element if a healthy, balanced, school lunch! Do you withold fruit from your child's lunch if you think it doesn't 'GO' with the savoury part?
- 2 Littlepetal { 03.06.14 at 5:54 pm }
The critiques from the judges were all over the shop. One moment it should be healthy. Then got critised for using chicken breast.
Too bland, need more spices. Kids doesn't like strong spices.
In fact a complete lunch should have 1 serve of fruit.
Wonder why no one make sushi. I have seen many sushi in kids lunch boxes

Did anyone else notice how much Rick (of Deb & Rick) looks a lot like actor John McCook, who plays Eric Forrester in the Bold & The Beautiful?
I'm pretty fed up with most of the contestants telling each other (and the rest of the country) how "awsome" they are! Perhaps the show should be called "Demolition Dish" as most of them keep repeating how they will have to "Smash it" or "Nail It" if they want to stay in the competition. Please MKR … get some new catch lines!
- 4 daisy { 03.06.14 at 6:50 pm }
Alison, people might say we're crazy, and my first reaction was what??? But when I visualized them I saw some similar elements. So yeah, I see it now. But it might be like that blurb of the hag that is also a picture of an old fashioned lady. Try as they might some can't see the lady.
On the fruit, my mum used to give things like:
1 round polony sanger
HM apricot pie
An orange
Would Pete and Manu say they don't go. I think Luvee and little Luvee were just doing what a Mum would do…..attempt to balance their diet.

I'm thinking Deb's fantasy and fakery extends to the nude painting. The painting reveals an elegant and long torso. Whereas Deb is a Hobbit. Artistic licence was Photoshop of the 70's.

I am really curious as to what other people here might have served. I would never in a million years think to make spelt chips.
- 7 Georgie { 03.06.14 at 7:24 pm }
"Okay kids, how do you spelt 'chips'?"
- 8 Littlepetal { 03.06.14 at 7:30 pm }
I will just do some fried vermicelli or noodles. It will have sliced chicken and julienned vegetables.
- 9 daisy { 03.06.14 at 7:32 pm }
MacDonalds. I wouldn't have got Judges choice but I would have romped it in with the kids.

"Getting Published" - Tomorrow
I'm appearing tomorrow, March 2, 2007, on a panel as part of the Baker-Nord's series called "Getting Published," which is aimed at scholars of all levels who face the need to publish and adapt to new publishing markets and restrictions. Tomorrow's session is the last in the series and has the title "New Horizons in Digital Publishing." The guest speaker will be William Breichner, journals publisher at the Johns Hopkins University Press. The JHU Press is responsible for Project Muse, one of the leading collections of electronically-published journals. After Mr. Breichner's talk, there will be a panel consisting of Prof. Gary Lee Stonum (English Dept., moderator), Prof. Brian Ballentine (English Dept.) and myself (representing Digital Case).
It should be an interesting discussion. It's in Clark Hall, room 206, 12:30-2:00 PM. Free and open to the public.

In my preview of the presidential debate I said mentioned that Tim Pawlenty had the most to lose by showing up tonight and when the debate ended and Sean Hannity asked Frank Luntz's focus group what they thought it became pretty obvious how unimpressive Pawlenty's performance was tonight. Hands down the vast majority of Fox News' focus group of South Carolina Republican voters chose Herman Cain as winner of the first GOP presidential debate.
Update: More bad news for Tim Pawlenty. The focus group also thinks that Rick Santorum was the runner up winner. Meanwhile Herman Cain is up 300% on Intrade.

We are surrounded by technology. Yet, in the early grades, children learn very little about this subject. Although it is common to see young children using cardboard or recycled materials to build cities and bridges and become "little engineers" (Bers, 2008b), early childhood curriculum has for decades focused on literacy and numeracy, with some recent attention to science. The TangibleK robotics program is grounded on the belief that teaching children about the human-made world is as important as teaching them about the natural world, numbers, and letters (Bers, 2008a). However, what is unique to our human-made world today is the fusion of electronics and software with mechanical structures—the discipline of robotics.
Program Goals and Research Questions
TangibleK Robotics is an educational robotics program that has been piloted with children and teachers in prekindergarten to second grade. It consists of curriculum, assessment tools, and a robotics construction kit with a developmentally appropriate interface. The curriculum and the kit are specifically aimed at teaching a particular subset of mental tools to young children—powerful ideas and skills that are useful when applying computational thinking in a robotic context.
Not enough is known at present about how working with new technologies might promote computational thinking in young children and what kinds of learning trajectories lead to the best outcomes. These are the goals of the TangibleK research program, which explores both learning aspects and computer interface design issues such as tangible programming languages.
Three research questions are at the core of work on TangibleK:
- What are young children's trajectories in computational thinking when exposed to a robotics educational program?
- What concepts and skills are involved in robotics programming that young children can develop, and what support mechanisms (in terms of both curriculum and technology) do they need?
- What design elements should a developmentally appropriate robotics kit include to engage young children in a successful learning experience?

Placements are where theory is put into practice on real patients, not your colleague in the skills laboratory.
Before I go onto placement I always ring up and introduce myself. I usually do this one week before I am due to start. On placement we, as students, are allocated a mentor - a qualified nurse who is responsible for signing our practice documents. They will have completed a mentorship course and this will need to be in date for your document to be accepted when being verified. The mentor will have a responsibility to support and enhance your learning experience; however, as a student we also have a responsibility to assert and initiate learning also.
To identify what my learning needs are I look in the practice document - at the outcomes, familiarising myself with what is required. I make a list and try to associate the essential skills with practice. I will discuss this with my mentor so that when the opportunity arises they can support me in achieving this.
We, as students, are always encouraged to follow the patient and their journey from admission to discharge, and this may include theatre! This enables us to understand the care that is delivered in a holistic way. This is also a prime opportunity to work alongside all members of the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to enable us to understand their roles and responsibilities in practice.
I think it is important to remember that every placement is different and will deliver different things in a variety of ways. Every student will have a different mentor; therefore every student will have different learning opportunities. So don't be disappointed when you have not had the same opportunities as other students.
It is important to remember that we are only in training for three years, and as I go into my third year, trust me when I say that it flies by.
My advice for placement is common sense really: arrive on time, show an interest in what you are doing, and ask questions. Most importantly, never be afraid to say that you are unsure of something, always ask for help if you need it and ensure you don't struggle on your own - you are working in a team. Also, know your limitations.
I find that writing a SWOT analysis helps as it makes me identify what I need to improve on in terms of self-development.
Another important point is reflection; whatever the experience - good or bad - it is important to reflect on it if it has been significant to you. This will help you to develop in practice and will enable you to think about the rationale behind what you did and why you did it.
Remember, if things are not going to plan on your placement and you are not having a good experience then speak to your mentor and express your worries and concerns. If you are unsuccessful, speak to the practice managers as they can help and will support you when in practice.
Good Luck.
Nikki Pountrey is a student nurse.

American Suzuki Motor Corp. is expected to move its $33 million car account this week to Colby Effler & Partners, Santa Monica, Calif., without a review.
The move is a blow to Asher & Partners, Los Angeles, which won the business a decade ago.
Colby, wholly owned by Japan's Dentsu, already handles Suzuki's $5 million U.S. motor-cycle account. Dentsu handles Suzuki in Japan.
The win also provides a U.S. car account long coveted by Dentsu, which in March took a 20% stake in Bcom3 Group -- the parent of Leo Group and MacManus Group. Dentsu's seven U.S. shops, including Colby, are to be folded under the Bcom3 umbrella.
Suzuki's agency change is related to the appointment of new top ad ex~ecutives at the automaker rather than dissatisfaction with Asher, an executive close to the situation said. The executive said Suzuki has demanded silence on the issue from all parties.
Lore McKenna stepped down as Suzuki's national ad manager two months ago. The carmaker split the position into two new ones. Kam Smith-Arnold was named director of corporate brand communications while Kerry Graeber was named associate director of brand marketing and advertising. Mr. Graeber worked closely with Colby when he was an ad manager on the motorcycle account and is said to have encouraged the switch.
Mr. Graeber was attending a Suzuki-sponsored event in San Diego last week and could not be reached for comment.
Ms. Smith-Arnold confirmed through a spokeswoman that there will be marketing changes, but declined to reveal further details. Suzuki may make an announcement as soon as midweek, the spokeswoman said.
Hal Asher, chairman of the incumbent agency, insisted that all is well on the account.
"At this point everything seems to be fine,'' he said on the morning of June 2. "We're going to the client today to get approval on a whole bunch of new commercials.'' He declined further comment.
Colby also declined comment.
The Suzuki shift marks another setback for Asher, which is defending its $25 million account for the California Department of Health Services' Anti-Tobacco Initiative. Asher's best-known work has been for Health Services, putting an anti-smoking twist on the Marlboro cowboy. Other clients of Asher, which reports billings of $125 million, include the California Children & Families Commission and a number of dot-com companies, including PayMyBills.com and WireBreak Entertainment.
The change comes as Suzuki sales are on the rise, due primarily to the success of the Grand Vitara sport-utility vehicle. Suzuki sold 35,278 units in 1999, according to Automotive News. The Grand Vitara accounted for 78% of total units. Total sales for the first four months of 2000 were 19,906 units, 43% ahead of the year-earlier period.
Asher created splashy commercials for the fall 1998 launch of the SUV, marking Suzuki's return to network TV after 11 years.
Fred Savage, a Suzuki dealer in Reading, Pa., was surprised to hear the brand was set to change ad agencies. He said dealers are pleased with Asher's work, adding, "It's kind of hard to fire someone when sales are up.''
General Motors Corp. tripled its investment in Suzuki's Japanese parent nearly two years ago to 10%. GM and Suzuki operate a joint venture plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, where Grand Vitara and GM's Chevrolet's Tracker are made.

Spotlight on Mr. KrebsPublished by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 14:51
Mr. Krebs is currently a seventh and eighth grade math teacher at Springville Junior High School. He is retiring, but he has been teaching for 33 years at Springville Junior High school, he decided to become a teacher because he likes to help students and to him when a student learns something new it is very satisfying.
His favorite thing about SJHS is definitely the students. His favorite sport is basketball and his favorite color is green. Also his favorite thing to do in his free time is to go camping with his family. Five things no one knows about Mr. Krebs is that he has five brothers and two sisters, he graduated from Southern Utah State, he spent two years in Ireland, he's been to about forty-five of the states, and lastly his favorite subject in school was not math.
Some of Mr. Krebs' students, Kensey Simons, Aspen Mcarty, and Mona Olson said that they all like Mr. Krebs. Kensey, an eighth grader, said that she likes Mr. Krebs because he is very helpful and he's a good teacher. Aspen, another eighth grader, said that she likes him because he works out the problem and makes sure you understand the math that he is teaching. Mona Olson, an eighth grader, explained that she likes him because he is a really good teacher.
Kensey's favorite thing about Mr. Krebs is that he's so chill and nice. Aspen's favorite thing about him is he is good at teaching and he is very nice. Mona's favorite thing about him is how chill he is. Although these girls have him this year they haven't had him any other year. All these girls thought that his favorite sport was golf and although he does like golf he likes basketball more.
I think it's safe to say that everyone at SJHS will greatly miss Mr. Krebs.

What's the craziest/most spontaneous thing you've ever done?
Does drawing my idea of a porno in kindergarten count? If so, I got expelled for it.
If not, calling a black guy the n word. Got my ass handed to me pretty well.
I'm too fucking lazy to change my online status. Never assume I'm always on CR.

Liar by nature
I gambled in school in the 2nd grade for people's lunch money during recess and won! That is until I got in trouble later in the week when parents complained that I took their children's money! Never knew we did anything wrong though.
There are probably other things, but the one that comes to mind is probably one of the more (potentially) dangerous.
I worked a few months at a factory. I specifically declined hot-plastic injection molding position because I felt the nastiness of it wasn't worth the extra pay.
One week the factory somehow ended up shorthanded for that position. I can't imagine why they'd have trouble filling positions in a hot, smelly, noisy environment like that, but they did.
So the manager decided somehow that I was a good candidate to fill in the position.
Midway through the first day, I told him I wasn't going to do the job again.
The next day, I was picked again for the job.
The particular part of that line they had me working involved scraping plastic off the edges of the product after it was heated by some kind of torch.
That second day, I decided to see what would happen if I slowed down and let the product become backed up beneath the torch. As one might expect, a fire started and the manager came running over in a panic.
I wasn't asked to work on the hot plastic injection molding line again.

1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Leaning my head on a boy's shoulder during a movie, considering I'd only just met him a few hours before hand.
...But now we've been going out for a few months XD
lol many moons ago i tried to "win" Jimmy Buffett tickets at the local mall. unfortunately i did not see the news crews and my co-workers saw the news report i got messed for the next 3 years about it. no i did get the tickets.
You got a bad attitude Pops. Lighten up before your arteries harden!
My friends and I broke into an abandoned children's asylum and went ghost hunting. It was somewhat eventful, though we only had one really terrifying moment. Heard some pretty loud footsteps, like the sound of crunching glass under foot, just like the glass from the broken windows we walked on as we wandered around. Other things would be a stove turning back on after we shut it off and an old microwave moving, but we had left the room so no proof that it moved on its own. Never did figure out what the sound came from, probably a bum though. Heh.
Upload me into your brain.
Got involved in a fight between two people where one guy had a knife and it seemed like he would use it. I managed to calm him down but geez it felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

a couple of guys we knew had stolen a stretcher (the big ones they have at a pool to carry someone with a neck injury) and we saw them carrying it, and asked what they were gonna do with it. They said they hadn't thought about that yet. later after carrying people on it and random stuff and a good amount of alcohol we found a use for it. we ended up in a sand pit tied the stretcher to the back of the truck and dragged it around trying to surf on the stretcher.

Ad Age's Women to Watch continues to expand in Latin America with the launch of Women to Watch Mexico, following earlier events this year to honor outstanding women in marketing, advertising and media in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia.
Ad Age will celebrate the first Women to Watch Mexico event in Mexico City on Dec. 1, in partnership with Adlatina, Ad Age's partner in Spanish-speaking Latin America, and with support from local publication Roastbrief.
One of Mexico's 14 honorees is Ana Maria Olabuenaga, an iconic figure in Mexico's ad industry as a leading female creative director and agency co-owner who until a few months ago was CEO of Publicis Groupe's Olabuenaga Chemistri. Due to her decision to leave and sell her shares to Leo Burnett, her shop merged with Burnett in April, becoming one of Mexico's biggest agencies. Amid speculation about what Ms. Olabuenaga would do next, she recently opened consultancy Olabuenaga & Cuchi Consultoria with her long-time business and creative partner (and long-time husband) Jorge Cuchi.
Ms. Olabuenaga isn't the only honoree to take on a new challenge this year. Maria Teresa Arnal, a former Microsoft exec and leading digital entrepreneur who was founder and CEO of a digital strategy and marketing firm called Clarus, joined J Walter Thompson Company Mexico earlier this year as CEO. Since May, she heads both the JWT agency operation and Mirum Mexico, a digital network formed by JWT and WPP that acquired Clarus.
Lourdes Lamasney, a former big-agency creative director who opened her own shop, Marca Lamasney, in 2009, merged her agency with Richards/Lerma in February 2015 and became principal and chief creative officer of the Mexico City office of Dallas-based U.S. Hispanic agency Richards/Lerma, working with auto brands Chrysler, Jeep, Ram and Dodge.
Eight honorees are marketers, many of whom have regional Latin American roles.
Laura Tapia Navarro is the director of marketing capabilities for Latin America at Procter & Gamble. Thanks to her years of P&G experience in different categories and countries, she now oversees the training program for all new marketers in Latin America, and runs the Governance Board for advertising and media agencies that work with P&G.
A former agency exec in her native Spain, Marta Fontcuberta joined Coca-Cola Co. a decade ago and moved to Mexico in 2010 to found and run the local integrated marketing communications team; she was promoted to regional director for integrated marketing communications in Latin America two years ago.
Marcela Velasco Camara is director of corporate marketing at Telcel, the Mexican subsidiary of Carlos Slim's America Movil and the country's biggest mobile operator. She's also responsible for the brand, under the Claro name, in 16 other countries.
On the media side, Maca Rotter is executive director of Televisa Consumer Products, a licensing rights division she started at Mexican broadcast giant Grupo Televisa. Last year she became president of Mexico's Brand Licensing Association PROMARCA, and published the first how-to book in Spanish about licensing, called "The 10 Commandments of Licensing, the Secret Behind the Brands."
In addition to the four events in Latin America this year, Women to Watch honorees were celebrated in the U.S., where Ad Age started Women to Watch in 1997, and in China and Turkey. In March 2016, the first Women to Watch Europe event will be held in London.
Here is the complete list of 14 honorees who Ad Age and Adlatina will celebrate at the Women to Watch Mexico luncheon on Dec. 1 at La Hacienda de los Morales (For more information, please contact Belen Martinez Cima at [email protected], or purchase tickets or tables here).
Congratulations to:
Carolina Arana, senior director of innovation and growth platforms for Latin America, Kellogg
Maria Teresa "Mariate" Arnal, CEO, J Walter Thompson Company Mexico
Lilia Barroso, CEO, Group M and Mindshare Mexico
Carla Juan Chelala, director general of marketing, Grupo Financiero Banorte
Aline Clavellina, senior VP and head of new business, Grupo Bimbo
Magdalena Ferreira Lamas, VP marketing, Avon
Marta Fontcuberta, regional integrated marketing communications director, Coca-Cola Latin America
Lourdes Lamasney, principal and chief creative officer, Richards Lerma
Ana Maria Olabuenaga, director, Olabuenaga & Cuchi Consultoria

As you can see I got three bottles of foaming hand soap, and three bottles of deep cleansing hand soap. I think it really depends on your preference. The deep cleansing have anti-bacterial beads that are more useful for cleaning away more dirt, whereas I feel the foaming hand soap is more suitable for daily use.
Currently, I'm using the coconut lime verbena foaming hand soap in my bathroom and am loving it thus far. Did I mention it was my favorite scent? Leave your favorite scent in the comment section.

The National Hockey League Player's Association and Allstate Insurance Company of Canada will welcome the 42 selected bantam-aged players to the third annual Mentorship Camp in August.
The annually held Allstate All-Canadian camp hosted in Toronto is set to open its doors to the lucky lot to sharpen their skills with the top NHL players.
With the intensive five-day exhibition beginning 6th August, the youngsters will have the chance to be taught by 21-year veteran Gary Roberts and coach Dave Lewis.
NHL current players Spezza Giroux, Martin Biron, Logan Couture, Michael Del Zotto, Matt Read, Brayden Schenn and Jeff Skinner will be given exclusive lessons about the importance of fitness, nutrition and mental conditioning.
Roberts, 47, spoke out to reporters about his excitement at leading the camp.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to sharing my personal experiences and knowledge of training and nutrition with these young players to help show how these things can help them achieve success.
"Our on and off-ice training programmes have been developed with a philosophy combing proper training, nutrition and recovery strategies that will elevate these players.
"I believe learning these important skills now will provide these young players with numerous benefits throughout their careers."
The Association sends out a network of scouts across the country to nominate some of the top bantam-aged players in Canada.
Those selected players are then invited to apply for one of 42 sports at the Camp, six goalkeepers, 12 defensemen and 24 forwards.
To be eligible for the camp, players must be 14 year-old and must be a resident of Canada.

Ninja Ranks/ MIssions and stuff
This is to explain some basics of the missions 'n stuff.
The missions in the ninja world are one of the better ways to earn money.
-E Rank- Simpler missions, like go to that house of place deliver simple things and help in the mails. Any ninja can do this without even be assigned to.
--Price: 20 - 50 Yien
---Rank needed: Any rank can do it
-D Rank- Missions still very simpler, but with a higer risk and variety. It goes from cleaning the garbage of the street to catch animals to deliver simple notes or mails from people from the village to familiars/friends who live outside the village.
--Price: 60 - 130 Yien
---Rank needed: Higher or equal to gennin and lower then High Chuunin
-C Rank- Missions with a higher risk than D's and realy harder then any other. It goes from protect important persons, to spy small troops to go outside the village and deliver important notes.
--Price: 150 - 300 Yien
---Rank needed: Higher or equal then High Gennin and lower then Jounin
-B Rank- Missions too much hard to gennins of even normal chuunins. The risk level's really high. It goes from killing criminals, to kill people, to spy intire villages when in war times.
--Price: 500-1000 Yien
---Rank needed: High Chuunin+
-A Rank- MIssions too much dangerous to most of the jounins. Normaly it envolves secrets that can make war, spying, hunting of killing most dangerous criminals, destroying parts of villages, etc...

---Rank needed: Jounin+
-S Rank- This missions are so dangerous that they even can profetize the future of a village.
--Price: 3500+ Yien

Hunting, giving information or kill criminals are a really dangerous but even so good way to earn money in this RPG
-E Rank- No big deal.
--Price: 45 - 70 Yien
-D Rank- A bit harder, but these criminals are still too weak
--Price: 150 - 400 Yien
-C Rank: This ones are dangerous. Take care if you want to face them
--Price: 600- 1600 Yien
-B Rank: This ones are stronger then most jounins. Be really alert.
-- Price: 2000- 4000 Yien
-A Rank: If you are lower then ANBU, this is suecide for you...
--Price: 5000 - 8000 Yien
-S Rank: Normally only kages are stronger.
--Price: 10000+ Yien

Why not set up a local non-profit Friends of Albert Park instead? Raise money the old fashioned way and keep our local teams playing in San Rafael.
Article below. I am helping the local citizens who want real environmental and fiscal review before approval:
San Rafael council delays Albert Park pro baseball decision
After more than three hours of public comment and presentations — and one near-scuffle, the San Rafael City Council put off voting on a plan to bring professional baseball to Albert Park.
The council opted to delay weighing in on the proposal from Centerfield Partnership to start a new North American League team in San Rafael shortly after midnight, citing the late hour and still unanswered questions.
"In light of the hour, I don't think it would be very prudent to continue," Mayor Al Boro said. Boro noted that he and Councilman Damon Connolly would work as a sub-committee with city employees to bring the issue back in two to four weeks.
"What I'd really like to see happen is to see Centerfield Partnership meet with some of the neighbors" before that meeting, Councilman Greg Brockbank added.
During the at-times tense meeting, audience members cheered, hissed and booed during employee and applicant presentations and public comment. Two men on opposite sides of the issue appeared to be on the verge of a fist fight at one point, with one exclaiming "Let's go" and then alerting police officers in the building lobby about the "knucklehead" inside.
However, everything ended peacefully, and most of the approximately 300 people who packed the chambers and a seating area in the building's lobby listened and spoke calmly despite the crowd.
Under the proposal, Centerfield Partnership would lease the lighted baseball diamond,which dates to the 1950s, from the city on a non-exclusive basis. It would also spruce up the 700-seat grandstand structure, add temporary seating for up to 800 more fans, upgrade the bathrooms and locker rooms and put in modern netting behind home plate, among other improvements. Centerfield plans to apply for a liquor license but wouldn't serve beer and wine after the seventh inning in accordance with major- and minor-league protocol, company officials have said. It would provide security and cleanup services as well as paid parking for about 700 cars in the San Rafael Corporate Center's Seagate lot.
The team's approximately 45 home games would take place between late May and mid-September, with games starting at 7:15 p.m. on week nights and Saturdays, at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and at 1:05 p.m. on Sundays. The city expects to pull in between $4,000 to $12,000 a year in net revenue from the agreement, which covers a three-year period.
The plan hasn't sat well with everyone, and some neighbors have hired an attorney over concerns about traffic, parking, lighting, noise, alcohol consumption and general rowdiness. Opponents also expressed concerns Monday night that the city would actually lose money on the proposition.
"My concern is how much the city, who just asked their employees to take a cut in pay, is committing themselves," said Ray Moritz, who owns a forestry business on Willow Street near Albert Field . "It seems like the city's not getting a really good deal here."
Dotty LeMieux, an attorney representing some opponents, said she was worried that Centerfield was only looking to turn a profit.
"This is not a San Rafael team," LeMieux said. "These players don't live in San Rafael. This business is not a San Rafael business. San Rafael's not getting anything from this."
Meanwhile, resident Alezz Laielen said she wanted the city to look into potential negative effects the public address system and other baseball noise might have on residents' hearing and health.
"I can certainly feel sometimes the percussions from the farmers market," Laielen said. "Even people that aren't even aware of chronic noise, it damages their immune system. It's causing heart attacks."
But resident Barry Taranto suggested opponents were thinking of minor league baseball in exaggerated terms.
"We're not talking about Barry Bonds playing in every game, and we're not talking about rock concerts," Taranto said.
Resident Mike Lewis, another supporter, called the proposal a "fantastic opportunity for the city of San Rafael and the local downtown community to have a ballpark.
"Anything you can do to help out our downtown is fantastic," he said.
Eric Ahern, a 12-year-old Hall Middle School student dressed as a box of popcorn, stayed at the meeting until almost midnight with a group of friends in peanut, cracker jacks and hot dog costumes.
"Putting a minor league baseball team in Marin is putting smiles and joy on kids' faces and giving them something to do," Eric said. "The location is ideal and practical because kids can either bike or"...walk."

The Maccabees treated the audience to the live debut of a song from their latest album as they proved popular on their return to Newcastle.
Ribbon Road, the third track from Marks To Prove It, had never before featured in the band's setlist, despite extensive touring throughout the year.
It was one of a number of highlights from a lengthy, high-quality set, that ended with a well-received four-track encore which closed with classics Toothpaste Kisses and Pelican.
Although not sold out, there was barely standing room in the O2 Academy venue, with a surprisingly rowdy audience reacting strongly to every song from a band that have become one of the biggest indie-rock groups around.
Support for the date - the second on their latest UK tour - came from Drenge, who visited Newcastle as recently as September and are set to return again next year as part of the NME Tour.
But in contrast to the headliners, they proved disappointing in a live setting, and their set seemed to drag. Although deservedly acclaimed for their recorded work, it was a performance that was dull to watch and disengaging, the stage plunged into darkness with only the occasional flicker of light so the drummer could slur a few words to the crowd.
Although the band undoubtedly had their fans in attendance, it wasn't a support set to remember - even if the band's studio work remains excellent.
Such issues were never likely to affect The Maccabees' set, their live show well-honed from a recent U.S. tour and run of festival appearances in the summer.
Their latest album - the fourth from the London band - topped the Album Chart earlier this year, and received strong reviews in the build-up to its July release.
Kicking off with the album's title track, the first beginning of the set was a mixture of new and old, before the surprise first live appearance for Ribbon Road.
The Maccabees had debuted two songs the night previous in Nottingham - as is common on the first night of a tour - but this addition was unexpected.
For a first showing, it was an assured play, although the crowd lit up more for the old favourite that followed, 2009 hit Love You Better.
From there followed an attempt to represent every corner of the band's catalogue, from 2005 debut single X-Ray to the recent, well-loved Something Like Happiness.
At no point did the audience's spirits flounder, the singles and the favourites understandably sung along to slightly more loudly, but everything received devotedly.
The band weren't especially chatty, although Felix did take the time to remind his brother of a past gig cancellation in the city after he had his tonsils removed, and asked the audience to cheer for "tonsil-less Hugo".
Another anecdote was cut for time as the band cut out the chatter in order to fit in a mammoth 19-song set list before the curfew.
It was an audience that were surprisingly boisterous, and the increasingly-familiar "three more songs" chant started up as the band brought their main set to a close with Grew Up At Midnight.
But in the end, The Maccabees would go one better, playing River Song - only its second-ever live outing - and WWI Portraits from the new album, before closing with the slightly twee classic Toothpaste Kisses and indie hit Pelican.

So I will preface by saying that I have the luxury of having this bathroom to myself! My fiance and I moved into a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment so he has his things in the guest bathroom and has no problem keeping separate bathrooms! But even if we had to share {and we definitely have before} he doesn't have too many toiletries should it wouldn't change my set up too much.
So let's get into to it, here is an overview on my bathroom!
First, I'll show you some of the decor and also some easy storage hints!
- adding a storage box to the back of toilet is an easy way to add MORE storage and also a convenient place to put unmentionables *cough* tampons, etc. haha I also store q-tips, cotton pads (for makeup removal) and makeup remover wipes! Box is from AC Moore, similar here.
- Note: Some may find my shower curtain loud and possibly juvenile but I can't help it it just makes me happy haha Shower Curtain: Ross, similar styles here Keys: Tuesday Mornings Towels: Target
- I obsessed with this idea! Keep a small container {glass candle-like holder, basket, etc} filled with sample products all us women have too many of! This way they're out, you see them and you're more likely USE them, which is the point right...? Container: TJ Maxx
- This SHOULD go without saying shower caddy are absolutely essential and if you don't have one, you're seriously missing out on a serious space saver and de-clutterer. As you can see I LOVE my hair/bath products so mines pretty full but that's okay... that is what they're for.
- If you're lucky enough to have a medicine cabinet these are life savers as far as storage goes! Mines very run of the mill, I have things organize by size and also by way they are, like the bottom shelf is all skincare/face stuff.
If you DO NOT have a medicine cabinet my tips for organizing under the sink would be PERFECT for recreating a medicine cabinet-like feel! Now on to under the sink...
- On the left side of the cabinet I upcycled a 3 drawer plastic container I wasn't using and use it for hair accessory storage {more details on that to come} and on top I keep things I constant reach for: my hairbrush, hairspray, dry shampoo & heat protectant . I also keep my cleansing system from Rite aid aka a knock off Clarisonic and my teeth whitening kit.
- Clockwise from top left: the 1st drawer has all my soft headbands and the small cylinder container has tiny ponytail holders, 2nd drawer has hard headbands and more ponytail holders, 3rd drawer has bun makers and a terry cloth headband that I use to pull my hair back when I wash my face.
- Obviously, you can customize these drawers to YOUR needs but that fact that you can organize your madness and have room for other things in the cabinet is a win, win!
- On the right side of the cabinet, though it looks less organized it's still very functional! The blue basket stores hair tools like my straightener and blow dryer, also hair clips and an extra brush, behind that I have extra toilet paper and a towel to wipe down the sink area. In front, I have face toner and wash on the left and hair serums and leave in conditioners on the right!
As always thanks for reading and until next time!

Neglected this a bit, haven't I?
Two years ago, I was walking both literally and figuratively speaking on eggshells, after Doreen had her mastectomy. She was in pain, exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally, and despite all the best efforts I could make to support her nothing I did seemed to be the right thing. It's taken me a long time to come to a realisation about those times, and that realisation is this.
I did some stupid things, and in trying to put my own fears and tiredness to one side I inadvertantly made things much worse. I'm sorry I did, but now the thing to do is to let go of any further resentments and anger about those things. Neither of us were coping very well, and we took it out on each other a bit. I need to ask forgiveness for that, and move on.
It's not been helped by a lot of uncertainty over my job over the last seven months, and a working relationship with a manager that could have been better. Both resolved now - again, time to move on
Things are getting better, but it is a long haul. We have other worries now of course - less than two weeks to Alastair's AS results, and Stuart starts secondary school in just four weeks. Hard to believe, as well, but it's one month to our Twentieth wedding anniversary - I need to sort out something special for that. Wonder what the best thing to do would be?

Last August, I read a blog that linked to a certain YouTube channel – My Housewife Life. I clicked the link and watched a video, then another video, then another. Then I realized that this same vlogger had two other channels (Organized Like Jen and TheBusyBeeBuzz). I clicked over to those channels and started watching more and more videos (clearly I was not busy that day). Then I subscribed to all three channels. This was the first time I had ever really spent much time on YouTube other than the occasional binge watching of funny videos with my friends or watching a music video every now and then. I had no idea that there were so many vloggers out there that regularly post on their own channels and create good content – some of them even do it as their full-time job!
After watching all of Jen's videos religiously for about couple of months, I heard her recommend another YouTube channel. So I went over to that channel, watched some videos, and subscribed. Then that vlogger proceeded to recommend a few other vloggers who recommended other vloggers and so on.
This is how I became addicted to YouTube.
It's probably not a good thing to add another time-waster into my life, but just like with TV, I try to make sure I'm doing something else productive while watching such as getting ready for the day or folding laundry or working on a Project Life album.
I thought it would be fun today for me to share my favorite YouTube channels. I have many that I enjoy watching occasionally, but these are the channels that I tune into every single time they post a video.
1. My Housewife Life – Mentioned above, this was my first YouTube video that I subscribed to. On this channel, she posts vlogs of her everyday life with her husband Don and puppy Winnie. They do all kinds of fun things like travel, cook great meals, host fabulous parties, etc.
2. EssieButton – This is a beauty channel. I did not know I was interested in beauty talk until I started watching Estee's channel. She makes it really interesting, and she is absolutely hilarious.
3. Essie Button Vlogs – This is the vlog channel of Estee of EssieButton (see #2). I really enjoy watching her everday life with her boyfriend Aslan and dog Reggie. They live in London, so that makes it particularly interesting for me.
4. itsJudyLife – This is another vlog-style channel. Judy and her husband live in Seattle and have twin girls and another toddler. They literally vlog every single day of their lives, so I don't actually watch every video they post, but I do enjoy watching many of them! It's neat to see a glimpse into the lives of young parents.
5. Savannah K. Wallace – Savannah is a blogger over at Maiedae. She posts mostly beauty videos, but she also posts videos about being a new mom and about other types of lifestyle products.
6. missglamorazzi – Ingrid's main focus is beauty. I love her videos because she is funny, her videos are so nicely edited, and she is just too cute!

HCII, the health committee for interstellar intelligence, aims to take care of the health of every interstellar intelligence.
Staff of HCII uses a special equipment for health checks of patients. This equipment looks like a polygon-shaped room with plenty of instruments. The staff puts a patient into the equipment, then the equipment rotates clockwise to diagnose the patient from various angles. It fits many species without considering the variety of shapes, but not suitable for big patients. Furthermore, even if it fits the patient, it can hit the patient during rotation.
Figure 1: The Equipment used by HCII
The interior shape of the equipment is a polygon with M vertices, and the shape of patients is a convex polygon with N vertices. Your job is to calculate how much you can rotate the equipment clockwise without touching the patient, and output the angle in degrees.
The input consists of multiple data sets, followed by a line containing "0 0". Each data set is given as follows:
M N px1 py1 px2 py2 ... pxM pyM qx1 qy1 qx2 qy2 ... qxN qyN cx cy
The first line contains two integers M and N (3 ≤ M, N ≤ 10). The second line contains 2M integers, where (pxj , pyj ) are the coordinates of the j-th vertex of the equipment. The third line contains 2N integers, where (qxj , qyj ) are the coordinates of the j-th vertex of the patient. The fourth line contains two integers cx and cy, which indicate the coordinates of the center of rotation.
All the coordinates are between -1000 and 1000, inclusive. The vertices of each polygon are given in counterclockwise order.
At the initial state, the patient is inside the equipment, and they don't intersect each other. You may assume that the equipment doesn't approach patients closer than 10-6 without hitting patients, and that the equipment gets the patient to stick out by the length greater than 10-6 whenever the equipment keeps its rotation after hitting the patient.
For each data set, print the angle in degrees in a line. Each angle should be given as a decimal with an arbitrary number of fractional digits, and with an absolute error of at most 10-7 .
If the equipment never hit the patient during the rotation, print 360 as the angle.

I have been diagnosed with autoimmune/Sjogrens syndrome and interstitial lung disease for the last 7 months and been on daily prednisilone 20 or 15mg and hydroxychloroquine since then.
I've had a couple of one-off cortisol and TSH levels taken during this time, which I was told fell within normal limits.
However, I am keen to press for full thyroid and adrenal function tests.
Is there anything that is likely to persuade my consultants that this is necessary?
For example, will it help if I raise a recent, new symptom - a kind of 'mini panic attack'.
(what happens is that if I have a passing anxiety-making thought, I get a sudden rush of flushing, nausea and a racing heart).
Or does this sound silly? Are there more important/convincing symptoms or concerns I should raise?
I'd be grateful for any thoughts/experiences.

In Found (Book 8 of the Vampire Journals), the final book of the Vampire Journals, Caitlin and Caleb awake in ancient Israel, in the year 33 AD, and are amazed to find themselves in the time of Christ.
Ancient Israel is a place of holy sites, of ancient synagogues, of lost relics. It is the most spiritually charged place in the universe - and in 33 AD, the year of Christ's crucifixion, it is the most spiritually charged time. In the heart of its capitol, Jerusalem, lies the Holy Temple of Solomon, inside of which sits the Holy of Holies and the Ark of God. And in these streets, Christ will take his final steps to be crucified.
Jerusalem teems with people of all religious backgrounds and faiths, under the watchful eye of Roman soldiers, and their Prefect, Pontius Pilate. The city also has a dark side, with its labyrinthian streets and maze of alleyways leading to hidden secrets and Pagan temples.
Caitlin now, finally, has all four keys, but still, she must find her father. Her search takes her to Nazareth, to Capernaum, to Jerusalem, following a mystical trail of secrets and clues in the footsteps of Christ. It also takes her to the ancient Mount of Olives, to Aiden and his coven, and to more powerful secrets and relics than she's ever known. At every turn, her father is just a step away.
But time is of the essence: Sam, turned to the dark side, has landed back in this time, too, and as he unites with Rexius, leader of the evil coven, they race to beat Caitlin to the Shield. Rexius will stop at nothing to destroy Caitlin and Caleb, and with Sam on his side, and a new army behind him, the odds are in his favor.
Making matters worse, Scarlet arrives back in time alone, separated from her parents. She roams the streets of Jerusalem on her own, with Ruth, and as she begins to discover her own powers, she also finds herself in graver danger than she's ever been.

Every year the National Basketball Association treats us to a fantastic show to kick off the rest of summer, the NBA Playoffs. And as they bump shoulders with the hundreds of other shows on TV, the NBA and its partners (Nike and Kia to name a couple) have bombarded the airwaves with promotions for the coveted NBA Finals. Though the Kobe vs. Lebron puppet ones start edging towards the borderline annoying (too bad the Cavs dropped out) and the movie spots are just terrible, the most memorable commercials were created by the NBA itself.
"Where Amazing Happens" was a campaign that lead up to the start of the NBA Playoffs, with clips from various games from the season were played in slow motion in black and white. Players such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming and Dwight Howard are showcased in this collection of NBA's future Hall of Famers.
With the Playoffs beginning, the NBA decided to take this campaign to the next level with its series of spots highlighting "Amazing Playoff Moments", hitting home to the history that the NBA has developed and to appeal to the generation that saw those moments unravel. I never saw Larry Bird's steal, Magic Johnson's hook or Dr. J's reverse layup (I did see Kobe to Shaq's alley oop), but with the status that those players currently hold at the Naismith Hall of Fame it truly represents something amazing. The way these spots are shot truly set the emotion for the event, as they blend from empty stands, to a full crowd, to an empty court – symbolizing that this is now a memory in all our minds.
As we watch history unfold in the Magic – Lakers finals series, here's some moments from the past from players who have made history.
What is interesting is that Dr. J's video has the least number of views – could that be indicating the end of an era?

Also woo: the Avengers movie is out! Who's psyched?
I also have a review blog, Lupines and Lunatics. Latest review is Promise of the Wolves, but Bloodrose will probably be up sometime today. [EDIT: And so it is. Check it out!]
Happy hopping!
This week's ice-breaker for Feature & Follow:
"What is one thing you wish you could tell your favorite author?"
"My best ideas were stolen from you." It's true for a number of authors, actually, but I don't feel like naming names right now. ~_^ Writing, I suppose, is the expression of your ideas through ideas stolen from other people.
This week's ice-breaker for TGIF @ GReads:
"If you could take a trip this summer to any place within a fictional book, where would you go? Tell us about your summer dream vacation!"
Eh, I dunno. The books I read always take place in areas rife with conflict and violence. Too much drama for me. While it won't make a complete trip, one place I'd like to stop by on a vacation is that totally and utterly awesome candy shop from that one chapter of Shiver. Apparently, that shop is based on a real place, and when word got out their business increased substantially. I can see why. Stiefvater's descriptions made me hungry.

Smartphone Interruptions: Are Yours Relentless and Annoying?
A Rutgers study, featured in Rutgers Today, reveals that personality traits influence and help predict receptiveness to smartphone notifications.
"Ideally, a smartphone notification management system should be like an excellent human secretary who knows when you want to be interrupted or left alone", said Janne Lindqvist, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Rutgers' School of Engineering. "We know that people struggle with time management all the time, so a smartphone, instead of being a nuisance, could actually help with things."

Myself and a few friends decided to take an evening stroll around Whiteley Woods. The Bluebells were in full bloom casting a sea of blue across the woodland floor.
Along the way we spotted several deer from distance, we weren't actually in tracking mode so I was surprised when we came across a small Roe Deer. As soon as we spotted him we all stood very still and I managed to get some shaky footage of him on an old camcorder that I had taken with me. He didn't seem to worried that we were there. He gave us a good looking over then carried on about his business.
Later on in the evening we spotted another deer in the woodland, I switched the cam to IR and again a bit shaky but you can see the silhouette of the deer watching us watching it.

PORTSMOUTH — The hundreds of people whose lives were touched by Brenda Stevens gathered at the North Congregational Church in Market Square on Wednesday to share their memories and honor her life.
PORTSMOUTH — The hundreds of people whose lives were touched by Brenda Stevens gathered at the North Congregational Church in Market Square on Wednesday to share their memories and honor her life.
Stevens, 57, died when her lakeside home in Deerfield was leveled by a tornado last week. She was credited with saving the life of her infant grandson, John Paul Stevens.
"Her daughters, Katie and Lisa, do not want their mother eulogized as having been a saint for what she did," said Richard Semprini, Stevens' former husband. "The baby was in reach and she grabbed him. She did what she would have done in any situation. It's who she is."
There were tears shed, but the mood in the church was that of celebration and joy, with many stories about the love and the antics of Brenda Stevens.
"I saw a headline that called her an angel," said longtime friend Jane Ireland. "Funny, because I always thought of her as a devil. She always had that gleam in her eyes, and there are lots of stories to tell."
The Rev. Beth Hoffman urged everyone to give thanks for the amazing woman Stevens was.
"I was honored and humbled to meet Brenda this week through the stories and memories," Hoffman said. "She lived fully Brenda style. Our job today is to remember. Death does not have the last word. God does. Love does. In her honor, let the party continue."
Diane Mizusawa told a story about going to visit Stevens only to find her vacuuming up her dog's hair, wearing heels. But she also talked abut the tremendous love the woman had for her family, friends and even for strangers.
"She taught me a lot about being a mom," said Mizusawa. "Her daughters, Lisa and Katie, told me she always knew how to comfort them. She offered that comfort by placing a hand on their foreheads and stroking in just the right way. That's how I comfort my children now, and I'm sure her hand is on all our foreheads today."
Mizusawa's 13-year-old daughter, Molly, said Stevens had been a second mother to her. Then she read a touching poem she had written about her.
A family friend, Wanda Syphers, gave the eulogy at the request of the family.
In it, she said that since Stevens had been the center of so many lives, it was fitting to have the service in North Church, the center of Market Square.
"I once saw a man approach a 90-year-old woman and ask her the secret to such a long life," said Syphers. "She said, 'That's easy. I forgive everyone everything.' Brenda was an easy person to love. She had a very forgiving soul, and if this hadn't happened, she would have lived to be 90."
Then, Syphers shared a few tidbits about Stevens.
"She made the best sandwich on earth," Syphers said. "She knew when to tell Dad, and when to absolutely not. She had anything you needed in her purse. When the time came to make funeral arrangements, it was done by Dick (her first husband) and Harley (her husband at the time of her death) together. Harley said, 'You loved her for 25 years. Dick said, 'You loved her for 10 years.'"
The service was attended by Gov. John Lynch. He was holding what he termed the miracle baby, John Paul, after the service.
"I think I speak for the entire state of New Hampshire when I say we are all joined to express our condolences to the Stevens family," Lynch said.
Portsmouth Superintendent of Schools Bob Lister and School Administrative Unit 50 Superintendent George Cushing attended, having known Stevens through her daughters in school. Both said she was always an active volunteer both at Rye Junior High School and then at Portsmouth High School.
Stevens was Rye's first planning administrator.
"She touched a lot of lives," Lister said.

I referred to Emelisse as the other big Dutch presence at the Borefts festival, but that has as much to do with the beer names as anything else. It reads like someone's taken beer geek key words, thrown them on a table and brewed what they say. You've got to have a Black IPA these days and theirs is pretty much on the money: a mild apricot waft, some juicy soft fruit and lots of dry roast. It's perhaps a little too intensely dry for some tastes but I enjoyed it. Likewise their Imperial Doppelbock (11.5% ABV in case you're not familiar with what the style designation means) was very drinkable with lots of smooth and viscous caramel, though it did have a slightly off-putting sickly sweet aroma.
It seems they like their peat at Emelisse: as well as the boozy-but-smooth Peated Imperial Stout -- speaking more of turf in the heady aroma than in the slightly ashen taste -- there were two beers who'd spent time in Laphroaig barrels. The White Label Laphroaig Imperial Stout showed little sign of the wood or whisky, being a sticky 11% ABV stout to its core. The Laphroaig phenols just lace it slightly, adding character without dominating. When the imperial stout is blended with their 10% ABV "Triple IPA" before ageing and then given three months together in a Laphroaig barrel, the result is Emelisse Black & Tan Laphroaig. The hops just get lost here, however, and the end result is a slightly diluted imperial stout which also tastes a bit like Laphroaig. A blending and ageing step too far, I think.
The other distillery Emelisse had taken barrels from from was Lynchburg's finest. And only. Jack Daniel's Imperial Stout again showed little actual whiskey, instead coming up dry, very woody and with lots of alcoholic heat. Neither stout nor spirit character means a thumbs down from me. Jack Daniel's Barley Wine had much more of that sour Tennessee whiskey aroma, though the flavour is all wood again, unfortunately, and the texture is thinner than I'd like from a 10% ABV ale.
All-in-all, you'd want to be brewing a better class of wood-aged strong beers if the plan is to haul them over the threshold of De Molen.

It is always a nice feeling to start writing on a blank page. You type a few words. Then you are a little dissatisfied with what you have written. So you increase the line spacing. Then you type some more. Then you decrease the point size. A little more typing later, you go and change the font.
You work out so many diversions but can't get yourself to use that decisive 'Ctrl a' command followed by hitting the '
Everything's the same. The line spacing, the point size, the font – they are still disappointing.
You walk away. Smoke a cigarette. Get some coffee. Walk around aimlessly. Read the newspaper. Smoke one more. But there is a point beyond which you can't push it away. You have to go back. You place your thumb firmly on 'Ctrl' and the middle finger on 'w'. It's done. The unblank page has vanished. The dirty grey background of a job unfinished stares at you. You stare back. In the silence of the night, the computer makes an indifferent hum. Later in the night you wake up dreaming of a vast and empty white room. A tiny speck of grey plods along in the whiteness.
You have a hangover in the morning but you haven't had a drink the night before. And all of this is a whole load of shit that's not good. Not even, 'Not good enough'. Just, not good. All you have is a fantasy, of writing great stuff. Stuff that people will pay money to buy. And laugh when they read it, or cry or bite their nails, or simply think about their own life just a bit.

Name: Seams
Genre: deep-house
Label: Cosmic Disco
Catalog: CODIS009
No. of tracks: 4
Type: unmixed
01. Seams
02. Avenida Las Noches
03. Roller King
04. Public Enemies (With Zweistein)
You must not be a superstar to make very good electronic music. I love this genre because there are so many artists that have a chance of expressing themselves. And when recognition comes from guys like Luciano, Richie Hawtin and Paco Osuna, you know you're on the right path.
Cosmic Disco is one of the labels that support new talents, while maintaining the 'quality not quantity' rule. Its a pure joy to listen to their releases, and this includes the latest one, entitled Seams. It is composed of 4 deep-house tracks, remembering the good old days, when this type of music was born in the USA. From a more chilled-out Seams, to the playful bass-line of Avenida Las Noches, to the dreamy feel of Roller King, to the more funky Public Enemies, the EP is a really nice thing to listen to. And I hope my neighbours enjoyed it as well, as I had to play it with full volume. Out tomorrow (1st) in major stores.

The Devils Enter DCE Championships
The Devils from Witzenhausen will participate in the DCE European Championships in Kerkrade this year. A spot freed up because the Senators have announced that they will not be competing this year.
The Devils were the first corps on the waiting list for the DCE European Championships of 2010. Drum Corps Europe has invited the corps to participate and the invitation was accepted. DCE regrets that the Senators can't participate, but is happy to welcome a new debutant to the European Championships.

Two vastly different generations of surf rock fans might know the sound of Eddie Bertrand's guitar licks: those who dig his band the Bel-Airs, whose classic early '60s Southern California surf instrumentals are some of the earliest examples of the form; and followers of Orange County surf-punk band Sublime, who incorporated Bertrand solo into its song "Seed."
Bertrand, who died on Saturday after a fight with cancer, was a key figure in the birth of a Southern California rock sound. His work out of the South Bay with both the Bel-Airs, best known for their hit "Mr. Moto," and, after that, as the leader of Eddie & the Showmen, helped solidify the clean but heavily reverbed sound of the Fender Mustang guitar as the tone of the Southern California beach.
PHOTOS: Notable Deaths of 2012
Other musicians, including the Ventures, Dick Dale and Link Wray, were recording what was coming to be known as "surf music," but it was Bel-Airs' "Mr. Moto" that made its way onto the radio when KRLA DJ Sam Riddle started playing it. Among those who heard it was the Beach Boys' David Marks, who wrote in his autobiography that Bertrand's sound was an inspiration.
Eddie and the Showmen's biggest hit was a rerecording of a Bel-Airs song called "Squad Car." A frantic instrumental that sounds recorded in a grain silo, the single tears through its two minutes as if it's running from the cops, with a siren edited into the song as though rounding corners in order to keep up with Bertrand's nimble guitar lines.

In case there was any doubt before, the accusations of fraud piling up around Afghanistan's presidential election mean that Hamid Karzai won't be declared victorious in his reelection bid any time soon.
At the very least, a national electoral complaints commission investigating fraudulent voting will take weeks to determine how much of Mr. Karzai's officially declared 54.6 percent of the vote will be tossed out.
At the other extreme, a potential need for a runoff vote could end up stretching Afghanistan's political turmoil into next spring – presenting President Obama and other NATO leaders with an unsettled and deteriorating climate just as crucial policy decisions are under review.
"This is the worst of all possible worlds for us," says Marvin Weinbaum, a former State Department intelligence specialist in Asian affairs now at the Middle East Institute in Washington. "We face a possible constitutional crisis that, if not resolved, becomes a disaster for us, and a partner [Karzai] acting in ways that in effect raise questions as to whether he should be in there or not."
With prospects growing for a period of months without a legitimate national leader, Afghan and foreign officials – Americans chief among them – are debating the options for salvaging a bad situation that could get much worse.
Aside from a runoff vote, which could be declared if investigations show Karzai's total falling below 50 percent, some parties are calling for a coalition government, while others support the idea of a nonpolitical transitional government.
That debate has crystallized in a row between foreign officials over the best way to address Afghanistan's political predicament. Peter Galbraith, a senior US official working in Kabul as the deputy special UN representative for Afghanistan, abruptly left the country after clashing with his boss, Kai Eide, over what path forward to advocate.
Mr. Galbraith favors a larger recount of votes, even if it leads to a runoff between Karzai and his main political rival, Abdullah Abdullah, and an extended period of political uncertainty.
But Mr. Eide, a Norwegian who is the top UN envoy in Afghanistan, is said to favor some kind of speedy accord among the country's political rivals – perhaps resulting in a coalition government – as a way to avoid an extended period of political uncertainty.
Another idea, suggested by Mr. Abdullah, is for a transitional government, made up of nonpolitical bureaucrats, that would administer the country until a runoff could be held.
Some Afghanistan experts say any option that fails to recognize the folly the world committed in emphasizing creation of a strong central government, and that continues down that same path, is destined to fail itself.
"The idea of imposing a central government was a mistake from the beginning, and none of the options now under consideration will be able to make this government appear legitimate to a majority of the Afghan people," says Selig Harrison, director of the Asia program at the Center for International Policy in Washington.
Instead, Mr. Harrison says, Afghanistan should return to its traditional reliance on a tribal system and hold a loya jirga, or grand assembly of esteemed tribal leaders, to find a way out of the current impasse.
Citing a recent opinion piece by an Afghan lawyer and an American writer in The New York Times, Harrison says the Afghan constitution – approved by a loya jirga in 2004 – provides for holding a loya jirga "to decide on issues related to supreme national interests."
All the options are being weighed based on what each contributes to what is recognized to be the most pressing need – some government and leadership viewed both internally and by the larger world as legitimate.
That is why Mr. Weinbaum says US officials, including Obama's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, have insisted that a runoff be held to deliver a clear winner. "They're saying, 'This ain't gonna work. We can't salvage this guy [Karzai] without him winning legitimately in a second round.' "
Many Karzai votes may be fraudulent
The EU's monitor for the Afghanistan election suggests that 1.1 million of the incumbent president's votes must be investigated.
