text: My New Blog… Posted on February 19, 2014 by Ron LeGrand 14 Shawn, Jennifer, Debbie, Nicky Well, I can't believe I'm doing this. My staff has actually talked me in to personally participating in this blog. Yes, it will be me communicating, not someone talking for me. Please don't expect me to be on here with mindless chatter multiple times a day. I have committed to answering this blog at least once or as often as I can get around to it. You've got to remember, I'm 67 years old and up until three years ago, hadn't sent or received my first email, so this is a giant leap for me. Ron Giving Away $2,000 Cash We just recently returned from a speaking trip I made to Houston to address the Lifestyles event, which is a once a year event put on by Del Walmsley who happens to have a pretty good following in the Houston market in the apartment niche. We were really impressed by the size of the event with over 2,500 people in it. I got to talk for a whole 45 minutes, but we put quite a few people in a 1 day workshop where I'll be able to go back on the 15th and spend the day with them telling them what we do and how they can get started. Russ Whitney spoke just before me followed by Dell and I've got to tell you, for me to create a 45 minute speech was no easy task, but I pulled it off. Ron on Stage at Lifestyles Expo I've included some pictures. The first one is with the four musketeers who went with me to Houston to manage the crowd. They include Shawn, Jennifer, Debbie and Nicky. And I must confess they did a masterful job of handling the crowd because we were in a trade show booth all day long and it was non-stop. Next is a picture of me standing on a chair giving away $2,000 in cash to four lucky winners that day. It's amazing how many people will congregate to actually get cash. Well, four lucky winners went away with $500 more than they came with. Ron and Alan Langston, Leader of RICH Club There's also a picture of the big, dark arena we were in which was a miserable place to speak, but we made do. And below that is a picture of me with Alan Langston who is one of the leaders in the Rich Club in Houston and also a member of my REIA Mastermind group consisting of about 15 REIA group leaders throughout the nation. I'll be working with them in the month of March doing their club meeting and a 1 day workshop for them as well. Okay, you can use this blog for whatever you want to chat about including questions about real estate or about personal things. I'm not afraid of any question you want to ask and If I don't know the answer, I'll make up something anyway so have at it.

Timelapses has always been my passion but it seems I never shoot enough. My timelapse emptiness is about to change. I recently ordered an interval remote and immediately drove to the Sacramento River to shoot a couple experimental clips. I shot at 1fps, batch processed the photos through Lighroom, and complied a 24fps timeline. The outcome from the quick experiment is above. I am currently in the process of building a new timelapse rig for a few upcoming sunset, stars, and moon adventures in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Northern-California Valley. Behind the scenes photos and clips from the shoots will be posted. As always, I am open for collaboration and if you want to join a shoot lets set-up a trip.

I had a lot of fun making these cupcakes.
I combined a few ideas I found online and then had to improvise a bit to use what I could find.
I have to say...I'm pretty proud of how great they turned out!
All of the birds were frosted in their main color (I used gel coloring so the colors were nice and vivid) and then dipped in sprinkles of the same color.
The red bird:
hair tuft: red mike and ikes
brow and eye dots: black gel frosting tube
eyes: white choc chips (points in)
tail: black licorice
beak: yellow banana marshmallow thing
I used white tube frosting for his bottom half.
Black bird:
fuse: black licorice dipped in yellow melting chocolate
brows: red frosting in a tube
eyes: same as red bird
beak: same as red bird
Blue bird:
(I made a few mini cupcakes so he could be littler)
hair tuft: blue tic tacs
eyes: same as red and black bird with red tube frosting underneath.
Tail and nose same as red and black bird.
(he might be my favorite)
ears: green M&Ms
nose: marshmallow sliced in half and sprayed with green food spray paint
eyes: same as other birds
black details: gel frosting tube.
Only thing I would do different...start with a smaller amount of the gel food coloring...I put in way too much and you could tell which bird/pig each kid ate based on the color their mouth turned....oh well! They are kids and they don't care!

I ended up having to work on saturday! Boy, that was a shock to my big pregnant system!! hehe! It was good to get a bit of $$! And I was kinda like 'putty'... i just filled in the gaps that needed doing! And on sunday I cleaned my parents accommodation - the Cuckoos Nest at the Swiss Cottage - because i knew i just wasn't up to another day of waitressing! Its funny, no one calls me 'small' anymore! But i guess with a gut like this (see photo below) how can you??!! LOL
Sunday was my Mum's 50th birthday.. all the family spoilet her - she deserves it!!!! Matty and I got her a $200 shopping voucher and a toilet travel bag filled with all the toiletries she needs for when she goes to Switzerland (her home country) in august/september this year!
Here is my mum with the birthday cake my brother organised from his friend (its gluten free as my mum has coeliac disease, like me!)
L-R: Evelyne, Jason, Me, Mum, Kristy, John (my brother), Dad & SianyFor dinner Dad took us to a lovely restaurant in Leura called Silks. Here we are at dessert time... yummy! Matty came up from Narrabeen after work that evening! It was good to have the whole family together, you'd think it would be easy to get 6 people together at the same time.. but it really isnt! lol
L-R: Dad, Me, Matty, Siany, John and the Birthday Girl!Here's Mum and Dad... Matty and I...
Now im back in Narrabeen (home) with Matty! And we are so excited, one of my mum's friends has lent us her childrens' cradle for our little one... so I got it all ready today, it was so fun making the bed...
Its beautiful!! I cant wait to have a baby in it!!
Also the other day Matty and I were just watching teli and I thought I saw something move on the balcony... and yes indeed, I did... there was an Owl, just sitting there!!!! It was pretty dark, this is the best photo I got of it. Pretty impressive anyways! Its not everyday we see an Owl!Lastly, a *big* thank you to Lisa for awarding me the Arte Y Pico award! I was really touched by the kind words she wrote about me!!! Thanks Lisa!!!
I also know some blogs that deserve this award... here is one that is definately worthy...
Sian Young of Pieces of Me; You inspire me with your beautiful scrapbooking layouts, your sewing (especially the quilt you made) and photos you take. Not only this but I consider you a *great* friend and also part of the family. Love ya!
Okay, I think this is the longest post I've done in AGES!!!
Hope you made it all the way to the bottom!!!
Have a happy week!!

Real Weddings: Danielle and Matt
Danielle and Matt's gorgeous wedding at Lairmont Manor, photographed by David Clumpner Photography, is classic and personal. The love and humor that this couple and their friends and family share is just beautiful.
We just love Danielle's wedding look (the half up hair with a veil is a style to steal) and the way they decorated this beautiful venue, but perhaps our favorite part of this wedding is Matt's reaction as Danielle walks down the aisle. There's just nothing that beats that look.
by Amber Peterson of Cheers Wedding & Event Planning
It has been a beautiful summer in western Washington and a spectacular group of wedding vendors decided to take advantage of the weather and create a lovely styled shoot around a bride and her entourage of flower girls and ring bearers. We wanted to include children in the shoot and showcase the joy they bring to an event.
The shoot took place at Skagit's Big Lake Lodge in Mount Vernon. It is a beautiful property that to passersby does not appear to be anything more than a large lake home.
Gail Embert lives in the upstairs with her husband. When you walk down the immaculately maintained deck and
come around the front of the home it is breathtaking. The view looks like a painting. The property is built at the top of the hill and looks out over Big Lake. There are all sorts of secluded areas for pictures and quiet moments for the bride and groom and their guests. Ceremonies take place under an arbor of hops and receptions are set in the same area and on the beautiful surrounding patios.
Our color pallet for this shoot was silver, gold, pink and turquoise. The colored linens, table runners and
chair covers were provided by Skagit Valley Wedding Rentals. Florals were created by Country Bouquet Florals and tied the color scheme together with the hot pink flowers in the centerpieces, hanging globes and bride's bouquet.
We set a children's tea party table complete with ribbon wands. The girls' outfits were handmade by some of
the participating vendors. We used collected tea cups to decorate the table and to add special meaning to the shoot. All of the children belong to the participating vendors, so not only was it a special day for our businesses, it was a special day for our children to be included in our work.
Our model wore two different dresses throughout the shoot. Both were provided by Belle Bridal based out of Bellingham. We chose dresses that were romantic and lacy to fit in with the tea party theme. We also though the lace paired well with the chiffon skirts worn by the flower girls. Although it was a styled shoot, the little
girls followed the bride around with stars in their eyes. It's always fun to see the magic of a little girl seeing a bride and this was no exception.
The shoot was captured by three very talented photographers. They all have such different styles and were each able to capture the day beautifully in their own special way.
The day ended with the bride and the children gathered around the sweets tables provided by The Sweet and Savory Pop-up Bakery. Not only was the table beautiful and colorful, but it was the prize at the end of the day for the kids.
Real Wedding: Sammy and Andrew
Sammy and Andrew's magnificent wedding at The Creek at Clayton Meadow is full of beauty and laughter, and Katheryn Moran Photography captured it wonderfully. The venue, flowers and decor are lovely, and we can't help but love a couple who have donut holes at their wedding. Read on to see this couple and their guests have an absolute blast!

The Russian largest oil company, Rosneft, conducted seismic surveys at the Fedynsky and Central Barents license areas where Italian Eni energy corporation is having their operations.
This summer, Rosneft platforms sail further North in the Barents Sea for seismic survey. Studies will take place at five areas believed to hold up to 2 billion tons of oil and several thousand billion cubic meters of natural gas.
Perseyevsky license district is to be studied much more thoroughly in order to make the North-Western part of Barents Sea suitable for future exploration and exploitation.
In 2012 the joint cooperation was signed between the Norwegian Statoil and Rosneft to jointly explore the bordering, potential exploration areas.
Later this year, the seismic surveys will be conducted around Prinovozemelsky fields in the Kara Sea and the West Matveevsky area in the Pechora Sea.

Extreme weather affects our planet, our people and our business. Adapting to this "new normal" will provide challenges and opportunities for industries and governments worldwide.
Are extreme weather events associated with climate change?
Yes. The Obama administration has also cited to extreme weather events as evidence that climate change is already occurring, years earlier than expected.
Extreme weather events are associated with climate change through extensive research, verification and modeling. These analyses have been carried out by scores of academic and government-employed scientists. They have reached a remarkable consistency. Those models very strongly indicate, with a high degree of confidence, that mankind is contributing to change in the climate. These analyses also predict extreme weather conditions, such as severe storms droughts, floods and temperature extremes.
How can businesses adapt to climate change?
Another way of phrasing this question is: How do we keep our society, billions and billions of people around the planet and trillions of dollars in commerce, moving in a forward direction? I don't see how any company can really ignore it. These are risks which are substantial and can be material to many companies, particularly those with substantial capital and long-term investment horizons.
Some of the largest multinationals and the largest public companies are considering these issues -- "the price of carbon" is sometimes how it's described. These companies are evaluating their supply chain logistics and a variety of other issues that relate to the risks of extreme weather. These are being built into their long-term strategies.
Adaptation is simply preparing for extreme weather, however that might affect a business or other activity. For some, it means preparations for higher tides and seas. Adaptation may mean measures to break "heat sinks" in cities or measures to better control storm water. Some areas are more vulnerable than others and some are more "resilient" than others to extreme weather events. The risks may be the same, but more significant than the recent past.
Now, in addition to the real world risks of extreme temperature extremes -- of rising seas, of harsher winters and summers, of more severe storms occurring with greater frequency -- the regulatory risks are now evident. The Obama Clean Power Plan is but one example. Another is the EPA proposal to prohibit the use of certain fluorinated gases in the manufacture of a wide variety of products.
What are the opportunities for businesses that can innovate?
The answers will largely depend upon your business or industry.
In the chemical industry, making products with less energy is a key step. Another is to develop new chemicals that are less reliant on fossil fuels or which do not create additional emissions of greenhouse gases. Beyond reducing carbon dioxide emissions, reductions in methane, and fluoro-carbon gases emissions are areas receiving a great deal of investment and scientific attention. Among the more remarkable is a potential process to extract carbon dioxide from the air and create a fuel. And, there are many technologies trying to use algae as a fuel source.
The insurance sector, for example, is seeing challenges to actuarial risk assumptions on weather patterns. Are these extraordinary events covered? Water is also a huge concern as lawsuits are filed for excess storm water, lack of water and rights to water.
One of the opportunities across all sectors is to do what we call a carbon offset credit. We see investments in non-regulated activities through offsets being an important short term tool to reduce total emissions. If a company can find a new way of doing an activity – perhaps a new insulating material or perhaps a pollution control device – that can be put that into a "protocol." Once the protocol is scientifically validated, the company can follow that protocol in making its product or providing a new service , which in turn may create a carbon credit. We are implementing several of these projects, helping companies turn carbon offset credits into cash. It's a business proposition that literally makes green out of doing a green thing. Scores of these protocols have been scientifically demonstrated and accepted by relevant governmental agencies. California has taken the lead in the US with its use of very demanding offset protocols for achieving reductions outside of the regulated sectors (power, oil and gas and manufacturing) which, when proven, can be sold to lower the compliance costs of the regulated industries (we have been involved in a wide variety of proving these carbon credits, from early action, to current reductions and to creating new protocols for use).
One other phenomenon deserves mention here, a clearly international issue and particularly for developing countries. There are more carbon emissions from deforestation activities globally than from all sources of transportation combined. Most of these activities, such as illegal logging, occur in developing countries without a strong rule of law or compliance codes. There are not enough governmental resources to fund all the projects that are needed to control these deforestation and degradation measures. Accepted protocols exist to guide and monitor these projects -- if the resources can be found. Once the project sponsor proves that it has performed the carbon protective measures it promised, it can be issued carbon credits. Those credits are sought after by many investors and companies for their social responsibility commitments, which then funds continuation of the projects. Not only do these measures reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and preserve habitats for endangered species, they also provide education and employment opportunities for the indigenous residents of these areas. Consider what an opportunity those efforts, whether privately financed or governmentally driven, could make.
What can businesses do when they have significant existing investments, but are not in a high tech or "innovation" space?
Virtually all businesses are looking to improve, continually. Being more efficient is certainly a key strategy for climate protection; indeed note that two of the four "building blocks" in the EPA's Clean Power Plan are focused on efficiencies.
The notion of "stranded assets" sounds popular to some, But the world will need fossil fuel-based energy for a very, very long time. Those companies with significant assets, capital and access to markets can still diversify, as these components are critical to the development of new ideas and technologies. As long as companies see the big picture, there are significant opportunities.
Many of these opportunities relate to basic infrastructure, and how existing facilities can cope. There are perhaps more opportunities for businesses with respect to adaptation and mitigating the risk of weather, than in the climate change "mitigation" space – new ways to do more with less energy consumption and less emissions of greenhouse gases.
How do approaches differ around the world?
There are many different approaches now being used in different countries. Suffice it to say that carbon regulation, or the regulation of greenhouse gases, is very well advanced in Europe. The European trading system is and has been a leader. There are programs in North America, particularly California's Cap-and-Trade Program (AB32), and the Alberta Program, which also regulates greenhouse gas emissions.
There are many other ways of dealing with the issue. Taxes are certainly one option, but technological innovation is most important. Significant technological progress will be required to meet and cope with a growing society, with greater numbers of people aspiring to advance from a developing living standard to developed state. This will require increasing amounts of energy and technology breakthroughs just to meet basic living standards.
While it is important to understand how approaches differ, it is equally important to find synergies. As a result of the myriad approaches to reducing risk, mitigating impacts on air and water, and adapting to a changing climate, we are seeing massive pricing distortions in the market around the costs of mitigation . A key tool to addressing this issue is translating different activities into a common unit of measurement. There are experts now attempting to develop sustainability indices and unify those approaches.
What will be the role of state and local governments?
The states are at the forefront of the measures outlined by the Clean Power Plan, as they have been since the Clean Air Act was first adopted in 1970. Indeed, one of the interesting aspects of the Clean Power Plan is that it recognizes climate measures that were done by the states, without federal help or demands. Nearly 30 states have Renewable Portfolio Standards. The nuclear power industry produces electric power without carbon emissions. These comprise one of the four "building blocks" which EPA says it will recognize in state plans. States are also being asked by EPA to consider greater use of natural gas in electric generation, often at the expense of coal. However, at the same time, Carbon Capture and Storage projects are advancing around the country, supported by DOE grants, tax incentives, and other funding arrangements, including substantial private investments. These CCS projects are another tool that can be used by states.
Other key tools to be used, particularly at the local level, are known as "public-private partnerships". These are well-established in most areas of the world but not so developed in the United States. These will be critical to coping with climate change and extreme weather. Solutions for climate change will need to be applied on a local basis in order to most effectivly adapt to extreme weather, whether it's a drought, excess water or heavy wind. Solutions will be very site specific, and therefore each business is probably going to be looking for unique opportunities. Governmental agencies are going to play a critical role in coordinating these efforts.
The US military may be the largest investor and customer in protecting against climate change. The US has bases around the world, some of which could be affected by melting glaciers and the rise of ocean levels. We know that a sea level rise of only a small amount would displace millions of people, creating many more refugees and instability. Projecting military power takes a lot of energy, and the military has been quite resourceful in finding ways to save energy -- for example, by insulating tents in Afghanistan by spraying the tents with polyurethane foam so that less fuel is needed to cool portable barracks and by developing innovative bio-fuels. Look for the innovations from universities and the private sector to be taken up by the military, scaled and turned back into the private sector for further development and deployment.

The Rockefeller Foundation: A Digital History
Mission: To showcase the Rockefeller Foundation's diverse interests, projects, and activities over the last one hundred years.
Background: An initiative of the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) in Sleepy Hollow, New York, The Rockefeller Foundation: A Digital History site serves as a portal for students, researchers, or other interested persons wishing to know more about the history of the Rockefeller Foundation. The site showcases selected images, documents, and film clips from the Rockefeller Foundation collection at the center along with contextual essays that provide an overview of the site's featured topics. In addition, a series of short essays provide biographical information on some fifty luminaries who have influenced or shaped the foundation's evolution over the last century.
Outstanding Web Features: The site features more than twenty-three hundred digitized documents, images, and film snippets (a small portion of the holdings of RAC) and is completely responsive, enabling anyone to browse the materials on their mobile devices. Visitors to the site will encounter a timeline of Rockefeller Foundation milestones tracing the foundation's evolution from the 1890s to the present. Most of the content on the site is organized by topic (agriculture, peace and conflict, culture, education, health, sciences, and social sciences) and is accessible through a nav bar at the top of every page. The site also links to a digital library that provides "a small but purposeful" sampling of material from the Rockefeller Archive Center's collection, including documents, images, videos, and "insider histories" — contemporaneous accounts of a particular program's development written by Rockefeller Foundation staff.

Here are some of the top reasons why I'm excited about his return:
- He causes buzz: As soon as he announced his return, it caused excitement, not only among skating fans, but everywhere. Johnny is outspoken and overall he is just a great character. He emerged as one of the biggest stars of the 2010 Olympics. Average Joes who know nothing about figure skating know him. They probably wouldn't know Patrick Chan from Takahiko Kozuka, but they know Johnny. People relate to him because he is himself!
- He'll draw viewers for Nationals: You can look at Johnny's announcement the week before Nationals as tacky and an attempt to draw attention away from the skaters competing at Nationals, but I think it's actually the opposite. There are a lot of "Johnny fans" who have lapsed as figure skating fans since he stopped competing. Since he is calling the men's event in San Jose next week and he'll surely be a talked about character, he'll certainly draw viewers to Nationals that wouldn't watch otherwise.
- He is supremely talented: I have heard experts say time and time again that Johnny is one of the best natural talents the sport has ever seen. Most skaters start before the age of 5, but Johnny started at age 11 or 12 and everything came naturally. What is often in question is his work ethic and his competitive fire. Those are two things he'll have to address if he wants to come back and be competitive with the best in the World.
- He had the technical content to win in Vancouver: Many think that Johnny's 2012 programs were watered down technically, but he performed nearly identical elements to Evan Lysacek, he just didn't get the levels or the GOEs that Evan got. And that is mostly because Johnny is an individual and wants to perform programs the way HE wants, no the way the ISU wants him to. I hate to say it, but under the International Judging System, individuality is cursed, so Johnny will really have to conform to the code of points if he wants to get the best results in competition. Here are the protocols from the Men's free skate in Vancouver, if you don't believe me, look at it for yourself. The base value of Johnny's elements was only 1.72 below that of Evan Lysacek.

Litotes are rhetorical figures of speech used in poetry and prose in which emphasis is gained by understated negation. The phrase, "He's not a rocket scientist," could be considered an example.
The word litotes comes from the Greek "litos," meaning "plain or meager." The generally accepted idea behind litotes as a literary device is that they can allow the writer or speaker to make an unpleasant or negative statement in a discreet and indirect manner. Litotes have historically been a part of the Old English and Germanic language family poetry traditions. The Icelandic sagas, for example, provide many examples of litotes.

The distribution strategy of the product in the UK market and types of distribution channels utilized.
Distribution is defined as: "involves company logistics and marketing activities concerned with making and distributing the finished product to customers" (Kotler et al 2007, p106). Distribution simply refers to how you will sell your products to your customers. Depending on what product you are selling will directly influence how you distribute it. Distribution can sometimes be direct, or indirect.
Channel can contain two intermediary levels - a wholesaler and a retailer.
A wholesaler simply buys and stores large amounts of different products from different manufacturers and then breaks into the bulk deliveries to supply retailers with smaller packs. For small retailers with limited order quantities, the use of wholesalers makes economic sense. ( Borden,1999)
Retailers are often large chain shops (Tesco, Asda and etc.). They buy products from both wholesalers and manufacturers and sell straight to the consumers.
Supermarkets and other high street shops make good examples.
The distribution channel is the route a product goes on from being produced to being bought by a customer. There are three different channels in which distribution is made.
⪠A Zero level channel is when the manufacturer delivers their product or service straight to the consumer. The Zero level channels is usually used by services providers, like hair salons or dentists.
⪠A One level channel is when there is a middle-men between the manufacturer and the consumer. This is often is the retailer. Supermarkets and electrical retailers are good examples of this.
⪠A Two level channel is where there are two intermediaries between manufacturer and the consumer. Products sold to a wholesaler, then to a retailer, then finally to the consumer. In our case is Victoria Foods

An Arab-American woman's riveting coming-of-age story.
Born in Washington state to an American mother and Bedouin father, Al-Maria explores the contrasting worlds that brought her parents together and eventually spurred her to choose between them, opting at a young age to live with her father's extended family in Qatar. The author's father, Matar, came to the United States at age 19, outfitted in a used polyester suit and possessing little more than a desire to pursue the American dream. Soon after his arrival, Matar met and married Gale; within three years, Al-Maria and her sister were born, and Matar then decided to return to Qatar to ride the wave of economic development in the region. Two years later, Matar sent his young family in Washington a video of the prosperity in Doha that, for then-5-year-old Al-Maria, "permanently cracked the world into two halves." After venturing to Doha with her mother and sister for about a year and then returning to Washington for about six years after Gale found Matar had taken a second wife, Al-Maria's differences with her mother then prompted her parents to send her back to Doha at age 12. It is from here that the author's account of living with her extended family and noting class differences really shines. From an intimate vantage point, Al-Maria sees and translates challenges that the Bedouin, who lived for ages in the desert navigating by the stars, now face in the era of big cities and washers and dryers. What makes Al-Maria's story unique is not only its rare insider's glimpse of modern Bedouin life, but the outsider's sensibility that magnifies her exquisite observational gifts.
Frank, funny and dauntless.

I shared one of my special memories with you with my Blueberry pie story and recipe.
And now,
I want to share my pictures from the conservatory at the Bellagio from my trip to Vegas this week.
This is my gift to you!
Being a mom....I think that can be interpreted in many ways. No matter what makes you a mom today, the meaning of love is what is similar.
You planted a seed in someone's heart, nurtured it and watched it bloom.

Do they look out of place or what?! You know that saying … you can put lipstick on a pig? Yeah.
Well, at least there's one good thing about it. Kim can now die. She has reached the pinnacle of narcissistic success. Her, her big bad rapper finance, and her baby all on the cover of Vogue. She's worked so hard for this. WHAT an accomplishment! (I wonder what they paid Anna Wintour to put them on the cover?) No. Seriously. I wonder what they paid her. Because Anna Wintour doesn't like anybody. She even made Oprah lose weight before putting her on the cover of Vogue. And I see Kimmie has already trained little North to pout provocatively. Nice.
I wish I could write more but I just can't.

The show is based on a manga by Koge Donbo that is serialized in Nakayoshi. The director for the series is going to be Annou Takashi. Shinohara Kenji is the Character Designer and the series composition will be done by Kakihara Yuuko. The synopsis in the following is taken from AniDB:
Kamichama Karin is about a 7th grader named Karin Hanazono. Her parents and beloved cat, Shi-chan recently died, she`s getting horrible grades and is forced to live with her aunt. One day, Karin meets a young, orphaned, 7th grade boy named Kazune Kujyou, and discovers that her mother`s ring has the power to transform her into a goddess. She soon moves in with Kazune and his cousin Himeka. She and Kazune, who has godlike powers of his own, have to fight to protect Karin`s ring and Himeka from the evil intentions of Kirio Karasuma (whom Karin calls Mr. Glasses Man), who is also divine. The trio embark on crazy adventures and go on trips along the way. They also meet new friends and people, such as Micchi, who may know a lot of information not only about the divine transformation of the gods and goddesses, but also about Kazune-kun`s long lost father...
Looks like another good fantasy/romance anime to come in the 1st month of 2006, sweet. Will be looking forward to it, ne.
I can guess a 13 eps series, but I hope they extend it to 26 eps :D
How awesome is that?
It better be cute and not suck. Who else here has read the manga?
Kamichama Karin
I'm so hyped for this I'm sure it will be good. I was kind of let down by the mamotte lolipop anime.
Anyone know who is animating this?
Kamichama Karin
Animation studio: Satelight (Galaxy Angelune, Koisuru Tenshi Angelique, Glass Fleet, Hellsing OVA, Noein -to your other self, Sousei no Aquarion, Heat Guy J, Geneshaft)
Director: Annou Takashi (Hotori, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Spirit of Wonder Scientific Boys Club, Miracle Girls, Curse of the Undead Youma, Mahou no Star Magical Emi, Mahou no Yousei Persia)
Character Design: Shinohara Kenji (Galaxy Angelune, RAGNAROK THE ANIMATION)
Series Composition: Kakihara Yuuko (Otogi Juushi Akazukin, Kage Kara Mamoru!)
Edit: Thanks for the move.
I have updated the first post. Thanks for all the info, Eggplant!
Yay! Satelight is the production company. I presume we could expect good animation regardless if the series has anything/nothing to do with action. I've become a fan of Satelight after savoring Heat Guy J, and then later, Sousei no Aquarion. Geneshaft was pretty good as well. Oh and, don't want to forget about Hellsing OVA. Kamichama Karin should be quite tamed of a series compared to all of those action packed series. Should be an interesting experience.
A Kamichama Karin anime. *__*
I hope it will be good. :D
I'm so psyched...I got into the KKarin series four years ago when I went to Japan and discovered the adorable manga when I randomly picked up a Nakayoshi magazine~:)
...so this is what it feels like when your favorite ongoing manga is about to become an anime....:D
I REALLY wish they'd update the anime page so I can see what Kazune-kun looks like!!:love: Huh? Noooo, I don't have a shouta complex or anything! What makes you think that?
btw I talked to someone in a slightly dead fansubbing group that I help translate for and he's pulling people together for this project at my demand. xD
Look who's doing the opening song?
When was the last time they did a shoujo series? CLAMP School Detectives?
Wonder if Katakura Mikiya is going to do the music.
Broadcasting information has also been announced, premiering from April on TV Tokyo.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! My all time favorite magical girl manga is FINALLY being animated! WOOHOO!!! I better tell this to my friends!!
No new news? Man!:(
Squee! I'm absolutely hooked on this manga. Can't wait to see the anime~
Also I like the genre, Cute Girl in A White Lace Outfit, and how it trumps the Fantasy Aspect.
I'm also excited about this. I'm a big Kogo-Donbo fan, not just b/c the character designs are so cute, but also b/c she usually gives them such wierd personalities. Like Dejiko--cute as a button, but selfish, egotistical, abusive and obtuse. Makes me laugh.
I've only read a couple of the 6 volumes I have on my shelf so far...I've been so busy...
..!!! Kamichama Karin anime!? I can't wait....
I love the manga.
Just to add more info on Kamichama Karin.

By Cameron, London Vegan Pledge Buddy 2009, 2010, 2011; now mentor for the Vegan Easy Challenge back home in Australia.
There are so many great vegan cookbooks coming out these days it is hard to keep up. I wanted to talk about two of the best vegan cookbook authors who have so far published 17 wonderful cookbooks between them.
Robin Robertson has written 9 cookbooks and counting. Amongst these is my favourite cookbook, Vegan Planet. Inside are 400 recipes grouped into various categories like desserts, sweets, salads, baked goods, pastas, etc.
I have much prettier cookbooks and others with both really complicated recipes for gourmands and really simple intro to cooking ones. The reason Vegan Planet is my favourite is because the recipes are in that great middle ground; they are interesting without requiring a whole day dedicated to preparing them. And the best testament to a cookbook is that many of the recipes are ones I cook again and again in my daily life. Here is a quick list of some that have a place in my regular repertoire:
~ Indonesian Inspired Tempeh Stew
~ Roasted Root Vegetable Chilli
~ African Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew
~ Spiced Banana Pancakes.
Vegan Planet is also the cookbook that I first used to make a pizza base, and sushi, so it has a special place in my taste buds.
The second is Isa Chandra Moskowitz, perhaps the most famous vegan cookbook author in the world. I first became exposed to her through the great show Post Punk Kitchen. Isa, along with her sometime co-author Terry Hope Romero, has authored 8 iconic cookbooks. I was lucky enough to have her first Vegan with a Vengeance given to me, which she followed up with Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, which may very well have started the whole vegan cupcake revolution.
Isa's latest cookbook, Veganimicon, is one of the must-have books for vegan cooks, offering a compendium of interesting and healthy recipes, with helpful 'icons' to help quickly identify whether the recipes are soy-free / gluten-free / ready in under 45 mins, etc. It also includes friendly tips about 'stocking the Veganomicon pantry', kitchen equipment and other handy things like 'how to cook a grain'.
This book is the source of another of my favourite dishes: Braised Seitan with Brussels, Kale and sun-dried tomatoes, as well as a fabulous tofu ricotta recipe, which goes beautifully in the Lasagne Marinara with Spinach.
This book is the source of another of my favourite dishes: Braised Seitan with Brussels, Kale and sun-dried tomatoes, as well as a fabulous tofu ricotta recipe, which goes beautifully in the Lasagne Marinara with Spinach.
So there you go, grab Veganomicon and Vegan Planet (or Robin Robertson's latest cookbook with 1000 recipes in it) and you'll have a world of delicious food at your fingertips that should keep you and your lucky dinner guests well catered-for for years to come.

Quick Screw Oil Changes
Thank you Jiffy-Lube. Thanks for screwing customers, cheating them and being to damn lazy to do the work. Thanks for sending more people to good independent shops they can trust.
Undercover Jiffy-Lube
That's why I allow customers into the shop area to watch if they want too. Also why I have the old parts that where replaced there to show them when I am done.
It's to bad they refer to these places as "repair shops" and the people working there as "mechanics" which when you look hard at them they are neither.

McClatchy Watch:
Amazing stat of the day: Newsweek's paid newsstand circulation is less than 67,000 copies a week: "Newsweek lost $20.3 million in the first quarter of this year on revenue of $46.1 million. Those are ugly numbers. But given the circulation statistics, they're hardly surprising. It's a little hard to see why—especially in an age of real-time online news—The Washington Post Co. is keeping Newsweek alive. Readers (and advertisers) just don't seem to care."

EuskoTran ("BasqueTram") is the name of the company that operates the metre gauge tramway systems in Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the Basque Country (Spain).
Built in 2002 as a complement to the Bilbao metro, the Bilbao tram is often described as one of the most modern public transport systems in the world[1]. The trams travel at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph) but do not make much more noise than a car. The grass covered tracks (as seen in the photo) run along the Nervion riverfront, past the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum.
Bilbao had had trams (also metre gauge) before – horse-drawn from 1876 and electrically powered from 1896 – but they had all gone by the end of 1964, gradually replaced from 1940 by a system of trolleybuses, which were themselves to disappear by 1978.
The system is currently 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and runs from Basurto to Atxuri. There are 12 stops along the line, and the end-to-end journey takes 15 minutes. It is covered by the Creditrans pre-paid travelcard scheme for local public transport.
Three new stops will be added to the line by 2009, connecting the current terminal stop of Basurto with the southern neighbourhood of Rekalde.
Future plans envisage extending the system by connecting the two end stations, turning the system into a complete loop around the city centre. Further expansion will also see lines extending both eastward and westward along the river.
The Vitoria tram is also operated by EuskoTran and started service on December 23 2008. Construction works started on september 2006, and connects the most distant neighbourhoods of the city with the city center. It consists of a central line with two branches, an end to end trip takes 17 minutes. Only the first branch (Landabere) is operational as of 2009, the other branch (Abetxuko) will open in the next months.
Total network length when complete will be about 9 kilometers.
Each 25 m (82 ft) long tram can carry 192 people, 50 of them seated (about the capacity of three buses). Access to the trams is at platform level, making it easy for handicapped passengers to get on and off through the tram's eight doors. Speakers in the trams play music and announce each stop.
Many citizens if Bilbao initially considered the new system to be no more than a public-image exercise, since it was no cheaper to ride than the metro. BEfore the line became fully operational it was not unusual to see nearly empty trams. However, patronage has increased steadily with the enlarging of the line and the trams offer excellent sightseeing possibilities for visitors wanting to see "the new Bilbao".
In Vitoria, many residents initially opposed the project in 1995 and the network had to be preplanned in 2004 to cover more neighborhoods. After its inauguration, the Vitoria tram has become a successful means of transport in the city, although there are some safety concerns. [2]

Q. My husband has almost jokingly threatened to commit suicide several times because of pressure he is under. I don't think he's serious, but how do I know? Is there anything I can do?
A. There is no way for you to validate the seriousness of his suicidal impulses. He may say he is suicidal when he is really feeling hopeless.
In this case, it is a cry for help. You cannot be his therapist, but you can help him by discussing his feelings, helping him make a plan that would alleviate his hopelessness and some of the pressure, and insist that he meet with a mental health professional.
When your husband is feeling suicidal there are several things you should not do:
Never say, "Just go ahead and do it. I'm tired of your complaining." He is complaining because he is in pain, not to disturb you.
Never try to encourage him to "count his blessings." Most depressed people understand that there are wonderful parts of their lives. Serious depression is an illness; it is not a self-imposed condition any more than are diabetes or hypertension.
Never compare him to others. For example, I had a patient tell his wife "I don't know why you complain, your sister has a much worse life than you do."
Even though you cannot solve your husband's problems, you can go with him to a mental health professional and perhaps learn ways to help alleviate some of his stressors.
He may just need to talk with someone or he may need medication.
However, if he makes an active threat or you feel his condition is becoming more serious, call 911 or take him to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Q. My boyfriend, who served several tours of duty, has been diagnosed with PTSD. He's had many friends who have killed themselves either intentionally or by accident. I've read that PTSD is a big risk factor for suicide. Is this true?
A. The information you read is correct. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM 5), which is the diagnostic manual used by mental health professionals, some people with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are at an increased risk for suicide. There are four major markers to examine when making a suicide risk assessment:
The PTSD has lasted longer than a year. Many people will experience the disorder and recover within a few months. If his PTSD has been diagnosed over a year ago, you have more reason for concern.
If he was abused or exposed to childhood trauma it increases the risk of self-harming behaviors. Certainly not everyone who experiences child abuse or family dysfunction is suicidal, but it is a statistical risk factor.
There is a depression component associated with suicide that is often gender specific. When men become depressed, it often presents as uncontrollable rage. If he is having periods of intense anger, it is another sign that he could be at risk.
If he is self-medicating with alcohol, marijuana or pain medication, then you should be even more concerned.
This does not mean that he cannot drink moderately or take pain medication as directed. However, he should not be using substances to control his feelings or to detach from life.
Do not be afraid to talk to him. If you keep communicating and he knows you are a support system for him, then his chances of self-harm are greatly reduced.
If he has not already done so, he should contact the local Veteran's Affairs Hospital. They have established several worthwhile programs for individuals to receive assistance as they return to civilian life.

Our People
Jerry Hirsch, Chairman
Our Mission
Our mission is to maximize the leverage of philanthropic dollars, time and effort through the pursuit of two strategies:
- to increase philanthropic resources by supporting organizations, programs and projects that serve primarily to encourage philanthropy, public service and/or volunteerism; and
- to increase philanthropic impact by encouraging and supporting long-term collaborations among nonprofits working in the same or complementary areas in order to increase efficiency and/or impact and to reduce duplication of efforts, and the adoption of other sound business practices.
Our Name
One of the challenges in starting a new enterprise is finding the right name to reflect the essence of the organization. In 1999, as we were forming the foundation, we read through an entire dictionary searching for the perfect name; it was there that we discovered the word "lodestar." "Lodestar" has two meanings: first, it's the guiding star that is used as a point of reference for sailors in navigation, and, secondly, and more generally, it is something that serves as a model, inspiration or guiding principle. We subsequently learned that "lodestar" has a third meaning in Arizona history; the "lodestar" was the first shining glint of ore, uncovered by miners that foreshadowed striking a rich vein of ore in the mine. Applying any of these three definitions, it seems the perfect name for a family of foundations* that were formed to inspire and guide us to find happiness through philanthropy.
* The Lodestar Foundation
The Lodestar Charitable Foundation
The Lodestar Jewish Donor Advised Fund
The Lodestar Foundation Fund
Our Geographic Focus
While The Lodestar Foundation is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and a number of our grants support local nonprofits, we are opportunity-driven and our grantmaking is national and international. We constantly seek opportunities that are aligned with our mission and strategies and that include funding partners to participate with us.
To gain an understanding of financial, technological and intellectual philanthropy tools that can be used to contribute to community impact, visit the Learning by Giving Foundation Web site.
For interesting commentary on the relationship between happiness and philanthropy click here.
One specific way in which happiness and philanthropy are linked may relate to limiting the life of a foundation. Click here for resources on the concept of Giving While Living.

A new study reveals how emotions are experienced throughout the body.
For example, say researchers from Aalto University in Finland, anxiety may be experienced as pain in the chest, while falling in love may trigger warm, pleasurable sensations all over the body.
The researchers found that the most common emotions trigger strong bodily sensations. They also noted that the "map" of these sensations were topographically different for different emotions.
The sensation patterns were, however, consistent across different West European and East Asian cultures, according to the researchers. They also suggest that emotions and their corresponding bodily sensation patterns have a biological basis.
The research was carried out online, with more than 700 people from Finland, Sweden and Taiwan taking part in the study.
The researchers said they first induced different emotional states in the participants. Then, the participants were shown pictures of human bodies on a computer, and asked to color the body regions where they felt activity increasing or decreasing.
The researchers said they found that emotions adjust not only our mental but also our bodily states. This prepares us to react swiftly to danger, but also to the opportunities, such as pleasurable social interactions, in the environment, according to the researchers.
Awareness of the corresponding bodily changes may subsequently trigger conscious emotional sensations, such as the feeling of happiness, added Lauri Nummenmaa, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Aalto University.
"The findings have major implications for our understanding of the functions of emotions and their bodily basis," said Nummenmaa. "On the other hand, the results help us to understand different emotional disorders and provide novel tools for their diagnosis."
The study was published in the journal Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America (PNAS).

While the sound is arguably more heavenly than say, Joanna Newsom's sound, there is a noticeable air of presage and remorse. "Sometimes I'm scared to admit it," the man behind … Continue reading
Husky Hits Home
triple j's Unearthed has produced quite the monumental music pool. Some artists flounder and defect. Others, however, really come into the fore. When HUSKY won the triple j Unearthed award they didn't brag or preen, they were grateful. "It's helped us in a big way," lead-man Husky Gawenda attests. "It's difficult to get your music … Continue reading

After years of deejaying (live and on radio), remixing, making mixes and releasing a debut album, THE ASTON SHUFFLE have timed their recent independent status well. With a strong following and a solid reputation it makes sense that the local duo would experience a surge of motivation to write. This is perhaps why, only months … Continue reading

Ismail "Isi" Tüfekçi of established electro Hamburgers, Digitalism, doesn't mind if you don't like their new album, I Love You Dude. "You know, what I think we did is, we took our songs a little bit further," Isi starts, in his winsome German accent. "And it's really good that people have different opinions. First of … Continue reading
Time Traveller
CW Stoneking speaks just the way he sings, in a disjointed yet understandable speech, somewhat like Louis Armstrong, and with as equally a wonderfully husky strength. He's not putting it on for stage presence. Stoneking's albums may contain characters like King Hokum because when Stoneking writes a song, "a story emerges." But what you hear, … Continue reading

Solar Investments Asheville
Solar Investments Asheville
Many investors know that PV (photovoltaic) solar farms don't generate enough electricity to produce superior financial returns on their own. However, the federal and state governments want to "grow" the renewable energy industry. The federal government currently is giving 30% tax credits in the first year. In addition, many states offer incentives and solar farm owners can take accelerated tax deductions for depreciation over 5 years. At ISS our principals know that once the tax benefits are included, solar investments can achieve IRRs (Internal Rates of Return) above 10% (well above market average). In many cases, the returns can be guaranteed and the investors can have 5-year exit strategies. We can provide investors with custom tailored solar investments in as little as 90 days. There are not many investments around today that deliver these kinds of results that solar investments can. Many solar farm developers are willing to do sale/leaseback contracts that provide the investor with guaranteed cash flows and no maintenance concerns. In addition, the investor can use a "put" contract to sell the system back to the solar farm developer at the end of the 5-year period when the tax subsidies are exhausted. The principals at ISS know how to structure solar investments to provide dependable returns and guaranteed exit strategies for investors. State mandated renewable energy targets are forcing utility companies to purchase more and more renewable energy. Corporate mandates and increasing, adding to the demand of efficient clean energy production. PV solar farms are one of the more attractive ways for utilities and corporations to purchase solar power at competitive prices. Call the principals at ISS today to find out more about solar investments in PV solar farms. We offer custom tailored solar investments to investors in as little as 90 days that are yielding some of the highest returns in the industry.
Early Stage Solar Investments
Having experience over 20x growth over the past 18 months, Innovative Solar Systems is seeking financial partners to assist in the financing of early stage development of solar farms. Although some may view this as a risky investment, we have also made it a cheap investment. The amount being sought represents less than 1% of the cost to bring a Solar Farm to Commercial Operation Date. Not only can financial investors expect a projected return of over 2x in less than 3 years, but a strategic investor can negotiate and be offered other terms to increase the value of this early stage investment.
Innovative Solar Systems utilizes a simple Limited Partnership structure to facilitate this investment. The investor contributes funds to the LP, a Special Purpose Vehicle ('SPV') and Innovative Solar Systems contribute Solar Farm Project LLCs to the SPV. In exchange for the contribution, both parties receive member shares of the SPV. The SPV then funds project development and releases funds to ISS via monthly draws in accordance to a developer services agreement. Once a Solar Farm Project LLC is available for sale, it is sold and the proceeds are distributed to the members of the SPV.
Bridge Investments
Once a Solar Farm Project LCC is defined as 'Shovel Ready', it is typically sold by Innovative Solar Systems. On occasion there is a desire to retain ownership of the Solar Farm Project LLC and a need to bring the superior performing project to a Notice to Proceed ('NTP'). In order to do this, we need to adhere to financial deliverables due on the Power Purchase Agreement and Interconnection Agreement. Generally this is a $5MM – $10MM investment per project. By bringing a project to NTP it greatly increases the value and return on your investment.
Long Term Investments – Ownership
Acting as an incubator of Solar Farms and having the largest pipeline of Utility Scale Solar Farm projects in the US makes innovative Solar Systems LLC your one stop shop to acquire and own large portfolios of Solar Farm Projects. We have multiple avenues in which you can secure Solar Farm projects at an early stage while removing early stage development risk. When we have site control, a PPA, and line of sight on the interconnection we make portfolio of project available for presale. Once you secure your projects via a deposit, we guarantee to bring them to a shovel ready status. If we fail to do so, the funds deposited are rolled over and credited against the final purchase of another Solar Farm project in the portfolio. These portfolios are designed to satisfy the appetite of large scale institutional investors seeking over 200MW of solar farm project ownership in the US. In addition, early stage investors committed to financing of 2GWac of more of early Stage Solar Farms have the first opportunity to secure these projects. Of course, we also have some projects available at shovel ready, and you can always join our mailing list of available Solar Farm projects in which have accomplished Site Control, Power Purchase Agreements, and Interconnection agreement.
Solar Investors
The principals at ISS know how to structure solar investments to provide dependable returns and guaranteed exit strategies for investors.

We go the extra mile in helping our project buyers bring these projects to commercial operation, which is why all of our projects have been developed and sold to repeat customers, who have been glad to prepare positive glowing testimonials for ISS.

Melky Cabrera figures to receive a decidedly mixed reaction Tuesday when the Toronto Blue Jays begin a two-game series against the Giants. Cabrera is returning to AT&T Park for the first time since being suspended last August after testing positive for a banned substance. The left fielder, who is batting .324 with 10 RBIs since May 11, signed with Toronto after the Giants left him off their postseason roster.
The Blue Jays outscored the Giants 21-9 in two wins in Toronto last month, but they're already 10½ games out of first place in the American League East at 24-33.
The Giants have lost six of their past 10 games, and they're still waiting for their pitching to return to form.
San Francisco's starting pitchers have combined for just four quality starts in their last 19 games.
One of the struggling pitchers, Tim Lincecum, will take the mound Tuesday. He has lost five of his last six decisions, including three straight while posting an 8.27 ERA over that stretch. The two-time Cy Young Award winner owns a troubling 68-to-31 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
"He is a little bit of an enigma," Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters. "His stuff is there. He has really good innings. He's just in a rut where at the critical part of a game, he makes a mistake."

Ship Shape!
Finally, at long last something new! I just wanted to give you a little peak at something I am working on. With halter tops and dresses being all the rage I decided to give my hand a try at designing one with an Olabelhe flair. To be honest, Abby and I are both loving this one. So fast and easy and super comfy. By now, I've made her about six or seven of these while testing this new design out and it's a winner. The pattern is in the works and I hope to release it soon so you can start making them up for your little girl. Abby and I have named this one "Paige". Paige goes together in a flash. and couldn't be easier. You are just going to love it. Can you believe how much she's grown since you've see Abby last? My little girl is really growing up.

Charting into very foreign cooking territory here... It's almost funny to imagine I've only cooked one oven roast in my life. But those humble Sunday roasts are the sort of dinners we frequently have at our parents homes for family gatherings and aren't the sort of dinners we consider on a weeknight. However, being home during the week is kinda like a permanent weekend right now so it wasn't too much trouble to try Jamie Oliver's Sunday Roast Brisket. Strange thing is briskets aren't the usual cuts of beef we can find easily around here. Roast beef is plentiful, so I opted to use one oven roast and one standing short rib roast in this meal hoping to yield enough leftover meat to make many more beefy recipes from Save with Jamie for the week.
The roasts were to cook for 6 to 8 hours and I only wish I'd used my probe thermometer earlier to check because after merely 6 hours they were done. For my tastes, overdone! The potatoes and carrots needed a higher heat then Jamie indicated and longer time as well (even after par-boiling). The Yorkshire puddings were alright, maybe this is the sort of item that might be a treat if you grew up enjoying them. But to me they were a little rubbery and I was expecting them to be a little more melt-in-your-mouth. Then the gravy; our roasts seemed to provide lots of moisture and drippings (even though neither had much fat), so it made a ton of gravy. I had to tinker quite a bit to get the seasoning right, but I was pretty happy with the end result.
So this was my first time making Yorkshire pudding & gravy and I was pleased with the results overall. But considering the time, effort and payoff I won't be too eager to make this again.
