UFO Take Cover On The Salentino Cuts
October 31, 2017, a year ago
UFO may not be a household name, but no one in the world of hard rock and metal will argue their influence. Their solid songs and heavy riffs coupled with vocalist Phil Mogg's raspy- yet melodic vocals built the foundation for countless bands of the genre. Their 1979 live album, Strangers In The Night featured the band at the peak of their prime and came just in time to pave the way for the NWOBHM. As the band approaches their 50th anniversary, they are still releasing great albums and play to a growing fan base when they tour.
UFO is no stranger to recording covers, in fact, the band jumpstarted their career in 1970 when a remake of Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody" did well in Japan and Germany. Elsewhere within their vast catalog, there's Love's "Alone Again Or" on "Lights Out", Jr. Parker's "Mystery Train" on "No Place To Run" and the Small Faces' "All Or Nothin" on the expanded edition of No Heavy Pettin just to name a few. For their 22nd studio album, the band, now featuring UFO mainstay Mogg along with guitarist Vinnie Moore, bassist Rob De Luca, drummer Andy Parker and keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond, released a collection of covers in fall of 2017 titled "The Salentino Cuts" where the band tackles tracks originally recorded by The Doors, John Mellencamp, The Animals, Bill Withers, ZZ Top and more.
Bassist Rob De Luca, who also plays with Sebastian Bach and Spread Eagle, took time out of his schedule for a chat about the tracks, and what he and UFO will be up to in the future.
BraveWords: For the uninitiated, you joined UFO in 2008 as a touring bassist when original UFO bassist Pete Way was unable to get a Visa, and officially joined in 2015 during the recording of A Conspiracy Of Stars. How did you get the gig back then?
De Luca: "Through Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal. He and Vinnie Moore are friends and Vin had asked him if he knew of a solid bassist to fill in for Pete Way. Sebastian Bach had done 90 or so shows supporting Guns N' Roses, so I knew Bumble quite well. Also, Vinnie knew my brother-in-law a little bit, so I think that helped too. I first met UFO at rehearsals for the 2008 spring tour and we were off and running! Looking back, the fact that we've fit so well for ten years shows how intuitive Ron Thal is about music and musicians."
BraveWords: I have read Pete's autobiography (A Fast Ride Out of Here: Confessions of Rock's Most Dangerous Man) and he states he is an unconventional playing style. How does it differ than yours?
De Luca: "My primary focus is foundation, then tone, then feel. Those three things together create an incredibly strong bed to build things on top of. Then I add melody when needed. One of my main influences is '70s classic rock, so I feel that's a reason I've fit the band well over the past decade."
BraveWords: When you play the older UFO material live, do you stick to Pete's baselines, or do you adapt them to your own style?
De Luca: "I try to respect Pete's basslines because those songs are perfect the way they are. However, players always interpret things slightly different, even when they're not trying to. Ultimately, all musicians are unique."
BraveWords: Although UFO has been doing covers since their start in 1969, what made the band do an all-covers album now?
De Luca: "For some reason the prospect was interesting to Phil Mogg at the time and I'm glad we did it. A covers album is very different from writing an album. In some ways there are less pressures because the songs are already written. However, there may be more pressure because the songs are known and people may have stronger preconceptions and expectations."
BraveWords: Where did the title of the album come from?
De Luca: "We recorded the album in Hannover, Germany. We would often end up at an Italian restaurant afterward to eat, drink, hang and plan out the next day. The restaurant is called Salentino's. So it became our defacto clubhouse."
BraveWords: How did you choose which songs to be included?
De Luca: "Every night on tour we'd be driving to the next city and making a master list of songs. Every morning that list would be in the trash. Eventually, the recording deadline was closing in and things came together."
BraveWords: Having listened to the album a few times, I did notice the band made each song their own, especially as Phil Mogg has a very peculiar vocal phasing style. Did you notice this while recording it?
De Luca: "No. That's one of the beauties of this album. We simply learned the songs and tried to play them like the original versions, for the most part. However, whenever we play we can only sound like UFO. I feel we added a muscle filled menacing vibe to the versions."
BraveWords: I was impressed by the choice of tracks you chose; you remade some classics, yet some are not as known. Was it a group effort to choose the songs, or did each of you come in with a list?
De Luca: "I don't remember exactly who chose what. Phil chose most (of the songs) because they had to suit his voice. I think Vin chose Robin Trower, Montrose, ZZ Top, Mountain... Andy chose the Tom Petty song and probably more. I chose John Mellencamp."
BraveWords: Were any songs considered that did not make the final cut?
De Luca: "Yes, there was a beautiful Vince Gill song that didn't make it called 'Whenever You Come Around.' I believe there was another song that I can't seem to remember right now."
BraveWords: The track which surprised me most was Mad Season's "River Of Deceit". How did that song come about?
De Luca: "Phil loves that song! He's been singing it on the bus for years. Layne [Staley] was an incredibly gifted, unique and influential singer and it's such a powerful song by him and [guitarist] Mike McCready. I was lucky enough to see Layne sing a few times and I think Phil did a fantastic job on it!"
BraveWords: You also changed the mood of Tom Petty's "Honey Bee"… It's so much more metal!
De Luca: "As I said, whenever we play something it naturally sounds like UFO. There was no mention of making any song heavier, but together we have such a menacing groove."
BraveWords: And Vinnie added a solo to the Yardbirds' "Heart Full of Soul"...
De Luca: "Damn right he did, he's Vinnie Moore! His playing on this album is up there with the best UFO albums."
BraveWords: UFO just finished a tour with Saxon. Will there be a tour behind the new album, or will you wait until there is a new studio album?
De Luca: "I would expect not much waiting from UFO. We always seem to stay busy. The road is where we're comfortable and luckily our fans keep showing up!"
BraveWords: There are rumors online of a Strangers In The Night anniversary tour. Is this real, or is it just fans' wishful thinking?
De Luca: "I think it would be super fun, but haven't heard any solid plan for that yet. We've done most of those songs at one time or another. So I don't think it would be a stretch, as long as we had a couple rehearsals. So I'd definitely be up for it."
BraveWords: Are you able to give any information on UFO's future plans?
De Luca: "As I said, I haven't heard anything concrete yet. I think everyone needs to get through the holidays before new plans are made. I would hope we also have more studio albums ahead of us."
BraveWords: Now that UFO is off the road, they are taking a break, but you are touring again. What are you doing now?
De Luca: "I'm touring Australia with Sebastian Bach. We started in Singapore, which was great because none of us had been there before. After Australia is Bach in the USA into December. Come see it, the band is on fire!"
BraveWords: What do you have lined up? You are involved with so many projects. Have you had to turn down gigs and/or projects because of schedule conflicts?
De Luca: "If I could, I'd do everything that's quality. Unfortunately, there simply isn't enough time. When I get home in December, my focus will shift to writing songs for my band Spread Eagle. We've been offered worldwide record deals and will record a new album in 2018. After all these years, my focus is to make sure it's 100% as cool, powerful, spirited and relevant as the two previous Spread Eagle records."

Durham University is committed to promoting a safe and welcoming environment that respects the diverse nature of the campus community. Durham University chose to collaborate with 2020 Vision Systems, an experienced education sector security specialist that understands the importance of campus safety.
Durham University is located in the historic city of Durham; it occupies a large diverse estate in Durham and Queens Campus in Stockton. In order to provide a safe and pleasant environment for students and staff alike, the University has invested in an array of CCTV systems which has grown over the years to meet changing requirements and to provide comprehensive surveillance coverage to 25 sites incorporating various schools, colleges, university departments and buildings.
CCTV systems form an important part of the University's overall security strategy, where it is used in conjunction with other electronic security devices and physical and operational security measures to protect people and property.
The CCTV system consists of more than 200 cameras, using a mix of pro-active internal and external cameras supplemented with evidence gathering static cameras designed to provide comprehensive CCTV coverage of the 25 sites. Each site has its own control, process, monitoring and digital recording facility. Supported by a new overarching software integration platform to allow centralised control and monitoring.
Due to the University commitment to promoting a safe and welcoming environment that respects the diverse nature of the campus community. It is paramount that the CCTV system is both fit for purpose and operating within manufacturers' parameters around the clock 365 days a year. Should a system fault develop either with internal cameras or control equipment or external cameras, it is repaired with all expedience 24/7 whatever the weather.
As analogue CCTV systems are reaching the end of life, and the security industry is moving rapidly into the digital age. Future technology and development will not follow the analogue path, as we are already seeing analogue based products are disappearing from the supplier's catalogues and service parts are starting to become more difficult to source.
In order to provide an ongoing service of true value a cost effective route of implementing digital technology is essential, after all, in these austere times not many people have the budget to strip out their legacy system and install a new digital system simply to do the same job.
2020 Systems, having first won a four-year corrective and preventative maintenance contract in 2007. Were able to use their experience, based upon historical knowledge of the University and its estate, to successfully tender and secure a second four-year frame work agreement to provide bi-annual preventative maintenance visits to test, adjust and record monitoring equipment and all ancillary equipment from 2011.
To provide a dedicated maintenance technician to carry out and ensure continuity of service in regular preventative maintenance visits and corrective maintenance. Call out visits required to repair, replace any defective equipment during normal office hours.
To provide a highly skilled service team for all corrective, responsive maintenance and all call out visits required to repair, replace any defective equipment, outside normal office hours, 24/7 365 days per year.
To provide any ongoing training support that is required. To provide regular advice on the improvement to the scheme including associated costs to upgrade the system. This is to be in line with technological advances and legislative changes subject to available budgets, including all the hardware, firmware and software.
To add additional cameras and ancillary control and recording equipment to accommodate as required.
To provide a contract administrator to attend regular (bimonthly/quarterly) and emergency contract meetings as required.
In addition, 2020 Vision have worked with the University Security, Estates and IT departments to implement an overarching software platform to integrate and bridge the gap between analogue legacy CCTV and Network Video systems.
The result is a comprehensive support package, which ensures the CCTV system delivers optimum performance continues to meet with the Security Department's Operational Requirement and can be relied on when it's needed.
Should a failure occur help is at hand with a minimum delay, response and system down time. A managed migration path with a series of cost competitive steps to the new technology and the advantages digital video provides. In its simplest form it is an overarching software system which replaces the existing analogue CCTV switcher. As a customer's budget becomes available we can add various applications such as control of DVR/NVR's, alarm inputs, etcetera.
By implementing our software front end U-MIX we prove true commitment to our valued clients by managing their system life cycle and maximising return on investment.
Key Features
- Well planned and organised preventative maintenance schedule using our cradle to grave management system.
- Fast response times with 'first time fix policy'
- Comprehensive reporting of system status; number of calls, response times etcetera.
- True client supplier 'Partnership' approach.
- A future proofed system that maximises life expectancy of legacy equipment.
- All new systems quoted are IP based network video; enabling the older systems to be phased out as budget become available.
Client Testimonial
"2020 Vision is our chosen security partner. Since securing our contract they have demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of both systems and the University environment.
They have always been cost-competitive, efficient and extremely professional. Their staff are always willing to go that extra mile to help us achieve our objectives. We are more than happy with the service we receive from 2020 Vision and have no hesitation in recommending them".

Do any of you have that one boy or girl who always links what we are doing in class to her/ his family?
For example, if we were discussing the NHS, this girl, lets call her H, would say 'Miss! Miss! My mum's cousin works for the NHS! She does BLAH BLAH BLAH' then she will go on for hours about someone with no real connection to the subject, and none else has any real interest for. It is most infuriating.
It can't just be me cursed with someone like her!?
There are audible groans whenever she does this, but she carries on anyway.
It is really just horrendous.
That is definitely one thing that I will not miss when I go on study leave, and go into A-levels 🙂
Much love

The association of unwanted pregnancy and social support with depressive symptoms in pregnancy: Evidence from rural southwestern Ethiopia
This paper analyses data from a survey of 627 pregnant women in Southwestern Ethiopia
Background: Depression in pregnancy has adverse health outcomes for mothers and children. The magnitude and risk factors of maternal depression during pregnancy is less known in developing countries. This study examines the association between pregnancy intention, social support and depressive symptoms in pregnancy in Ethiopia.
Methods: Data for this study comes from a baseline survey conducted as part of a community-based cohort study that involved 627 pregnant women from a Demographic Surveillance Site (DSS) in Southwestern Ethiopia. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to measure depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Data on depressive symptoms, pregnancy intention, social support and other explanatory variables were gathered using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. The association between independent variables and depressive symptom during pregnancy was assessed using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy was 19.9% (95% CI, 16.8-23.1), using EPDS cut off point of 13 and above. The mean score on the EPDS was 8, ranging from 0 to 25 (SD ±5.4). Women reporting that the pregnancy was unwanted were almost twice as likely to experience depressive symptoms compared with women with a wanted pregnancy. (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.96, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.04-3.69) Women who reported moderate (AOR = 0.27; 95% CI 0.14-0.53) and high (AOR = 0.23, 95% CI 0.11-0.47) social support during pregnancy were significantly less likely to report depressive symptoms. Women who experienced household food insecurity and intimate partner physical violence during pregnancy were also more likely to report depressive symptoms.
Conclusion: About one in five pregnant women in the study area reported symptoms of depression. While unwanted pregnancy increases women's risk of depression, increased social support plays a buffering role from depression. Thus, identifying women's pregnancy intention and the extent of social support they receive during antenatal care visits is needed to provide appropriate counseling and improve women's mental health during pregnancy.
This research is funded under the Department for International Development's Strengthening Evidence for Programming on Unintended Pregnancy (STEP UP) which is led by the Population Council.

I take a train to Hayes-&-Somewhere-or-Other to meet some in-house attorneys. After the train I have to have a lift in Mr Davies's car, which is so posh it has a dead sheep in the footwell.
The in-house attorneys tell us that they imagine CIPA being full of crusty relics who have got old and senior enough to be able to swan off to Council meetings while their minions pick up the crumbs of the work they've left behind. I tell them this is not true at all, not now anyway, not since we stopped serving brandy and cigars after Apologies for Absence and replaced them with the offerings of the Biscuit Pixies, which are crumbly but not crusty.
They tell us that CIPA should engage more with its members. I think: I have taken a train all the way here to Hayes-&-Wherever-it-is, eaten with them in their office canteen, shared a footwell with a dead sheep and listened to Mr Davies ranting on about education all the way from the station to the place where we got lost in their labyrinthine business park. I have put on a posh jacket specially, and brushed off the straw, even though the posh jacket was scant protection against the wilds of Reading Station, which has recently been rebuilt as a massive wind tunnel with a deep-freeze facility for a concourse. I have talked to them about SILC and I am even prepared to autograph copies of my Secret Diary if they have their CIPA Journal to hand. What more, I think, do they want me to do to "engage" with them??
Later, I receive an offer from the CIPA Membership Team to sauce up my Presidential manifesto for me. That sounds an excellent idea. Brown sauce, red sauce, outsauce, we definitely need more sauce at CIPA. Everything at CIPA should be served with extra sauce, I think. A CIPA Journal with extra sauce. CIPA newsletters with extra sauce. Then we will be the sauciest of all saucy Institutes. And that might help us engage with our members.

Suzuki is preparing to unveil the production version of its sleek S-Cross SUV concept, unveiled at last year's Paris Motor Show.
As expected, the crossover concept will make the leap to production with few changes, introducing taller headlights and a restyled grille with swooping louvres.
Suzuki is keeping mum on the finer details, although it is expected that the new model will slot in between the company's existing crossover and SUV options.
In concept form, the S-Cross measures 4310mm long, making it 160mm longer than the current SX4 hatch - and 160mm shorter than the five-door Grand Vitara.
With the SX4 introduced in 2006 and the Grand Vitara in 2005, both cars are also due for replacement.
Both models have scored updates in the past 12 months, but as brand-new models begin to fill out rival line-ups, the Suzuki SUVs are beginning to show their age.
For now, we wait for Suzuki to reveal its hand at next month's Geneva Motor Show.

CUFF Docs Reviews: 'The Insufferable Groo' Is an Inspiration and Potentially a Very Bad Idea Directed by Scott ChristophersonPublished Nov 29, 2018
Stephen Groo is either an inspiration or a fool, depending on your point of view. Sure, the filmmaker has made an impressive number of films...

PLOT: Five avid fans, from various walks of life, lend their interpretations of the potential hidden meanings and coded messages found in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror masterpiece THE SHINING.
REVIEW: Like most of his work, when released in 1980, Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING was not well received (see the Razzie awards that year). In fact, one of the most vocal denouncers of the film was Stephen King, whose bestselling novel of course served as source material for the screenplay Kubrick co-adapted. But also like the rest of Kubrick's oeuvre, time has fortified THE SHINING to an elevated status in the all time horror pantheon. Even King, who furiously huffed and puffed about the infidelity of the novel at the time the movie was released, has come around to recognize THE SHINING as a great movie. ROOM 237, Rodney Ascher's 5-part interview documentary, attempts to shed light on why the mystery of THE SHINING has captivated audiences for more than 30 years. With theories that range from the laughably absurd to the terrifyingly credible, it's the middle ground found in the film between those two poles that proves most fascinating.
In a strange choice for a documentary, we never actually see the interviewed subjects. Instead, we hear the intercut voices of five fastidious SHINING fanatics - Bill Blakemore (journalist), Geoffrey Cocks (professor), Juli Kearns (author), John Fell Ryan (musician) and Jay Weidner (conspiracy theorist) - whose lofty and varied interpretations of the film play over various film footage...mostly from Kubrick movies, not limited to only THE SHINING. Conspiratorial connections to everything from the Holocaust, Native American genocide, the Apollo Moon Landings...to more general subliminal codes regarding sexual abuse are drawn, some more convincing than others. No theory is definitive, or even proven with slam-dunk evidence, so the film really raises more questions than answers. The problem is, only a few of the subjects seem to have legit backgrounds in accredited film scholarship. And there's not a single person related to Kubrick or the making of THE SHINING in the film that can corroborate or debunk any of these theories. John Fell Ryan for example, a radio DJ, rambles on and on about rather inane details in THE SHINING, often fraught with a nervous laughter-fit that quickly detracts from the more serious readings of the film.
I must admit, had I not been as familiar with the vast, deeply complex readings of THE SHINING before seeing this film, I probably would have found ROOM 237 much more thrilling. So for anyone who has zero idea about the various theories and conspiratorial codes found in the subtext of THE SHINING, you will likely find ROOM 237 far more rewarding than I. That's not to say I disliked the film, I enjoyed it quite a bit, and even learned of a new reading or two (the minotaur for example), it's just that it barely scratched the surface of many things I had already personally heard about, investigated, believed in, debunked and moved past in my own time. Having been familiar with Rob Ager's superb analyses of THE SHINING for about five years now (which are unforgivably omitted in this flick), my personal knowledge of THE SHINING'S hidden meanings were already crystallized. Therefore, I saw the film in a more subjective light than an otherwise objective viewer without foreknowledge might have.
I do wonder why Ascher used Fell Ryan over Rob Ager. I can only assume Ager wanted no part in the making of this movie (as did some cat named mstrmnd, an authorial online voice about THE SHINING's true meanings). Either way, it's unfortunate. Because, at perhaps its most absurd bit of crock-pottery, it's Fell that ultimately arranges a simultaneous screening of THE SHINING, played forward and backwards at the same time, to find hidden superimposed visual clues Kubrick may have been trying to communicate. Grasping at straws it seems, basically akin to playing The Dark Side of the Moon to THE WIZARD OF OZ, nothing terribly convincing is found. Some fascinating, at times creepy overlay occurs, sure, but so do the long cross-dissolves of Kubrick's editing style...the last of which apparently paints a Hitler mustache over Jack Torrance's smiling face. Interesting, but intentional? The greatest argument is Kubrick himself, for his widely known perfectionism and attention to detail would never allow for continuity error or visual happenstance, would it? I tend to agree with that assessment of Kubrick, but none of the theories addressed in ROOM 237 were plumbed deeply enough to really create a stirring resonance. Perhaps if one or two were really fleshed out, distilled and examined fully, or if the subjects even interacted or conversed with one another, more satisfying answers may have been drawn.
If it sounds like I didn't like ROOM 237, trust me, I did. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who isn't already abreast of THE SHINING's widely varied interpretations. If you don't already know about the Native American genocide or Apollo 11 theories, as I did, your mind might be rightly blown to bits. So if that's you, most definitely give the film a look. But no matter how well versed you are in the discourse of THE SHINING, whether you're a newcomer or vet...I just as readily recommend checking out Rob Ager's exhaustive analysis of the film, 21 chapters and growing last I checked (Juli Kearns also has far more extensive research not shown here). His analyses are more thoroughly researched and evidenced than most of the claims made in ROOM 237. Still, at the very least, ROOM 237 should be applauded for even addressing the mere notion of deeper film reading, looking beyond the surface for latent subtext, be it intentional or not. Some theories laid out are certainly more flimsy than others, but if the end result is one's desire to revisit THE SHINING and draw their own conclusions, then the film succeeds.

They will lay an egg in the stem and then pack it with food, plugging it with grass or mud. Bees will also tunnel out stems like elderberry or, as in this case, Penstemon. Now, I know you are thinking, "But I don't want ugly dead sticks in my garden". Plants, like this Delphinium, will grow up around last year's stems, concealing them with foliage and beautiful blooms.

Foundry Networks stock closed down over 25 percent Friday after the company said it is postponing a shareholder vote on its merger with Brocade.
Brocade announced intentions to acquire Foundry for over US$19 a share, or US$3 billion. On Friday, the day the vote was scheduled, Foundry's stock was down to US$12.67, a drop of over US$4.
Shareholders will now vote on the merger Wednesday, October 29. Foundry said the postponement was due to "recent developments related to the (Brocade) transaction."
Foundry last week reported a 35 percent drop in third quarter profits on sales 4 percent better than last year. Foundry attributed the decline in earnings to costs associated with the Brocade merger.

Science and Its Limits
I've been reading "Science & Its Limits" by Del Ratzsch and I've finally gotten to the chapter on Intelligent Design. So far it has been quite a page turner and has pushed my understanding of philosophy and science to its limits. I'm no philosopher, so I admit that my eyes glazed over at times but Ratzsch has a knack for bringing me back into the conversation using good summaries and explanations.
While I'm not a strict believer in Intelligent Design per se, i.e. I believe in a specific Creator who makes moral and personal demands of His creation, I find the discussion very stimulating. If it is possible for us to recognize something as designed but cannot identify the designer, why could that designer not be supernatural? Science is willing to accept possible alien agency while at the same time barring the possiblity of supernatural agency. It seems to me to be a problem of fear and pride - fear that once opened, the supernatural pandora's box would wipe science clean because science would be admitting that at any moment the laws of nature could be set aside by supernatural beings - and pride because all of the knowledge science claims as her own to possess and discover would in fact belong to someone else.
What do you think? Is Intelligent Design a viable philosophy? Leave your comments below. (This article is reposted from Theology Monger - mainly because I'm too busy to write new stuff.)

This blog is coming to you today, courtesy of Amy. Jim is here next to me as I type, and will add his contributions if he is able.
As many of you already know, Jim was taken to the hospital via ambulance on February 2nd. He was extremely ill, and after consulting with multiple doctors with conflicting advice, he had a procedure to determine what was causing him to be sick. They discovered a bleed in his esophagus, which is apparently common when your liver is involved with your cancer. The doctor was able to fix the bleeding, at least for now, and initially, Jim perked up. However, we were told this bleeding could reoccur in as little as 2-3 weeks. Additionally, he started declining pretty quickly. After talking with each other and consulting with his oncologist and the doctors who were treating him, Jim made the decision to transition to hospice care. That was not an easy decision, but it was becoming clear that the chemo was no longer working, and he was out of options. He had also lost a lot of weight and become very weak. So, after 6 days in the hospital, he came home to be with me and the girls. We have been surrounded by family who have been helping immensely with Jim's care and with keeping the girls' lives as normal as possible. Our friends have set up a meal train and have just generally been wonderful. It has been pretty much the most difficult week in this fight so far. But we know the worst is yet to come. His hospice nurses and aides are great. They have been kind and have assured him that he will be taken care of and his pain will be managed. It is still scary.
Hospice and Valentine's Day make strange bedfellows. Yesterday, I went out to get cards for the girls and for Jim. It was tough reading all of the happy husband cards out there. "I am so happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with you." "What a wonderful life we share. I can't wait for our future together." You get the idea. They don't make Valentine cards for people who are dying. I found one that was simple enough to say what I wanted to say, but it was a tough first trip out of the house since he came home. On the upside, we ARE getting to spend this Valentine's Day together. It may not be the way we imagined, but had we listened to the first doctor we talked to at the hospital, I'd be spending this day alone. Instead, I gave him the card that I got for him and we shared a special donut date while the girls were at church with my parents. Jim used to always go out on the weekends and get donuts for breakfast. It's something that we haven't shared in the last year and a half since he stopped driving due to his medications. It just didn't feel right for me to go get the donuts because that was his thing. Last night, while I sat next to him while he slept, I came across a Facebook post from our new hot fresh donut shop that was offering 4 free Valentine donuts to the winner of the contest. I shared and tagged and shortly after, went to bed. I got up this morning to find out that we won the contest. So, I went out and got our special donuts, and we enjoyed some special time together. It really is the little things that mean so much. We don't know if he has days or weeks left, but we continue to live with fierce hope for peace, comfort, love and happiness.
With Fierce Hope,

More Int'l News In brief
Afghan president condemns insurgent attacks
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP):Defying insurgents, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani yesterday condemned the wave of militant attacks striking his country ahead of the withdrawal of most foreign troops, vowing: "We will never surrender."
In a televised speech, Ghani called on all religious, political and social leaders to condemn the violence. At one point, he even shouted: "Enough! No more!
"This is unacceptable, it is un-Islamic, it is inhuman," he said, referring to the death of a university student in an attack targeting parliamentarian Shukria Barakzai and the suicide bombing of a volleyball tournament that killed about 50 people last month.
Ghani's words come just two weeks ahead of the withdrawal of most international combat troops, 13 years after the United States-led invasion following the September 11 terror attacks removed the Taliban from power.
Ahead of the pullout, Taliban insurgents have launched a series of high-profile attacks across the country, including those targeting foreigners in the capital, Kabul. On Saturday alone, insurgents killed at least 19 people, including 12 clearing landmines in the country's south, and a senior official of the country's Supreme Court shot dead outside his home in Kabul.
Obama gets $1.1-trillion spending bill from Congress
WASHINGTON (AP):Congress cleared a $1.1 trillion spending bill for President Barack Obama's signature after a day of Senate intrigue capped by a failed, largely symbolic Republican challenge to the administration's new immigration policy.
The vote late Saturday night was 56-40 in favour of the measure, which funds nearly the entire government through the September 30 end of the fiscal year. It also charts a new course for selected shaky pension plans covering more than one million retirees, including the possibility of benefit cuts.
The Senate passed the bill on a day Democrats launched a drive to confirm two dozen of Obama's stalled nominees to the federal bench and administration posts, before their majority expires at year's end.
throwing blame
Several Republicans blamed Tea Party-backed Texas Senator Ted Cruz for giving the outgoing majority party an opportunity to seek approval for presidential appointees, including some that are long stalled.
It was Cruz who pushed the Senate to cast its first vote on the administration's policy of suspending the threat of deportation for an estimated four million immigrants living in the country illegally. He lost his attempt Saturday night, 74-22, although Republican leaders have vowed to bring the issue back after the party takes control of the Senate in January.
Haiti's prime minister resigns amid political discontent, violent protests
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP):Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe announced early yesterday that he was resigning, along with several ministers, in the wake of violent anti-government protests and a commission's call for him to step down.
In a speech that was delayed past midnight, Lamothe said he was leaving "with a sense of accomplishment," adding: "This country has undergone a deep and dynamic transformation and a real change in benefit of its people."
President Michel Martelly said earlier he accepted the findings of the commission that had recommended Lamothe's replacement.
Martelly appointed Lamothe as prime minister in 2012, and some political analysts believe Lamothe might seek the presidency in upcoming elections.
Lamothe's resignation complicates the current political situation, because nominations for a new prime minister require approval from Parliament and it is unclear whether someone would be nominated before Parliament is dissolves in January, said Michael Deibert, author of Notes from the Last Testament: The Struggle for Haiti.
Alleged American illegal immigrant says he's not being detained
North Korea (AP):North Korea yesterday presented to the media an American who says he illegally crossed into the country but has not been put into custody and is seeking asylum in Venezuela.
Arturo Pierre Martinez, 29, of El Paso, Texas, said he entered North Korea by crossing the river border with China. Details of how and when he got into the country were not immediately clear.
In his comments to reporters, Martinez strongly criticised the United States for alleged human rights violations.
He made the statement at the People's Palace of Culture, which North Korean authorities have used in recent years for press conferences where they present North Korean defectors who have returned to North Korea, or on at least one occasion, a South Korean citizen who was detained in North Korea. It is also used for signing ceremonies between North Korea and other countries.
His comments came amid North Korea's own loud protests of a resolution in the United Nations that could open the door for its leaders to face charges of crimes against humanity for human rights violations, raising questions of whether Martinez was trotted out to the media for propaganda purposes.

It's Real
It's Real is not your average porn website. It's Real features crazy wild content that no other website has. If you want to see weird shit, like chicks with three tits being fucked by guys with eighteen inch cocks, this might be your site. This site looks like it was pulled straight from those crazy ass tabloids that you see on the racks while you're waiting to pay for your six pack of beer. It's Real touts itself as the authority on freak-show sexuality and sexual-oddities videos. Sounds good and different to me. Let's check it out in detail.
It's Real updates on the second Thursday of each month. I'd like to see weekly updates, but on a site with this unique kind of content I don't mind waiting a little longer. You want to see a man with two dicks fucking the shit out of a freaky young babe? You got it. There are tiny little girls with HUGE asses. Extra nipples. Multiple vaginas on one girl! Girls with tits waaaay too big for one body. If you need something more than your average site, with the kind of stuff you aren't going to see anywhere else, that's what It's Real is gonna bring you.
Once you enter into the member's only area, you're greeted with all of the updates that they has to offer. Careful with all of the tool bars on the site, though. It can get a bit confusing, but as long as you stick to the main part of the site, you'll be okay. There's a favorites feature, which is always nice to see. You choose your favorites, and you can easily access it right from the tool bar at the top of the screen. You can also click the option to change sites, which allows you to easily work your way around the network. You can navigate by the most viewed sets, the top rated sets, or by individual model. At the time of this review, there are 18 different sets on this website. I like to see more than that, but with monthly updates it's growing pretty fast.
Each of the sets come with videos and with photographs. There are roughly 215 photographs per set. The photos are roughly 600 x 800 pixels, and are of impeccable quality. They are absolutely crystal clear, and these photos really follow step by step with all of the hot, freaky action in each scene. I really can't say enough how awesome quality these shots are. They really are some of the clearest, largest, most high quality shots I've seen on any website. The layout of the galleries is very convenient, allowing you to move from one photograph to the next simply by clicking on a photo. You can also choose to download the entire gallery as a ZIP file if you wish.
For videos, there are loads of options for viewing. For starters, when you click on the videos section, the first thing that shows up is the video itself. You can watch every video streaming from the website. The streaming video runs quick and easy if you've got broadband, and it's of great quality, really clear, not grainy or pixelated whatsoever. If you'd rather have the convenience of downloading the content to your hard drive for use later, you can do that as well. Videos are 640 x 480 resolution WMV files, and you can download them in full length files or in clips. A full length file will run you around an average of 400MB, while a clip runs an average of 100MB.
Membership to It's Real grants you membership to all of the websites on the Muffia network (get it? Muffia, like the mafia of muffs... haha you gotta love that). Along with seeing some of the freakiest, strangest circus sex on the internet, you also get full access to: Cum Fu, a site full of Asian babes; Molly's Life, a teen solo-girl site; My Sexy Life, a wild and sexy reality site full of the what porn stars do on their off time; Foot Ville, a site for the foot lovers out there; Kristin's Life, a hot solo MILF site; and Naked Movie, a site that features all your favorite movies and TV shows, except this time XXX rated and full of hot sex!
Membership to It's Real will cost you $24.95 per month, and I'd say the price is about right for monthly unique updates--it'll be even more worth it in a year or so when there is more content, but you really can't pass up the opportunity to see this wild shit at least once. And of course there are bonus sites to round out your experience when you run out of content on the main site. Considering all the content within, I'll rate this one a nice generous 86/100. They deserve it. This content on It's Real is crazy. Go get it!
When you join It's Real, you also get access to the following websites: Cum Fu, FootVille, King Dong, Kristin's Life, Manuel Uncut, Molly's Life, Muffia, My Sexy Life, Naked Movie, and Pornstars Lick.

- Its Real by RabbitsReviews.com 8/9/2010 6:17:10 AM (70/100):
Over at Its Real, members get to decide for themselves if what they see is real (huge tits, a chick with two vaginas, a large clit, a double-dicked guy, etc). There are 21 photo sets as well as 18 videos to download. Quality is great in Windows Media files and there are also nine network bonus sites included with the membership. However, the site has not been updated in some time, so the network is really why you would sign up.

A little Siren (on sale for 99 cents)
Sexy fairy tales for adults! ~ Review by K. Allen TOP 1000 REVIEWERBook Description:
The 2nd book to a great sexy series. This book can be a standalone but you get more out of it if you read the first. Very well written and filled with great scenes. Its a fun sexy twist on an adult fairy tale and is both creative and a blast to read. A real page turner and worth your time for sure. Highly recommended. Very sexy and great tension and suspense!
The King of Denkered has searched the seas for three years, in his quest to reach the mercreature who saved him from a ship wreck, but he gives up, tired of chasing a dream.
"One day. One day after he convinced himself to propose to an unsuitable, unrefined, unliked, conniving girl, he found the woman he'd been looking for."
Contrarily to what one would assume, Silvia isn't masochistic, so when they meet again, she has no intention to waste her time on the yummy piece of man she'd saved three years ago.
He may have been the object of every single one of her fantasies, but he's taken. Women who manage to get a man to forget his attachment get what they deserve: a cheating ass.
End of story, right?
A little Siren is the second book of Not Quite the Fairy Tale, and although they are standalones, they are meant to be read in order as the characters interact.
Beware of strong language and adult situations, although this is no non-stop erotica.
A little Siren was a great story, the second in the series ` Review by Romance LoverA little Siren was a great story, the second in the series. I was totally surprised multiple times. I love love love Seb and the part he plays. Eric really irritated me - in a good way - over and over, so much I wanted to climb into the story and knock some sense into him.
Silvia was a strong, courageous woman, I was in awe of her many times. She didn't take crap from anyone, even from Eric, the hot sexy man. Her attitude in the first book gave me pause, I wasn't sure I'd like her, but I actually liked this story even more than the last!
I loved to hate Vanessa, she was the perfect villain!
I also enjoyed catching up with Cinderella and Dane from the last book!
The end was great, well thought out and I can't wait until the next one.

A beautiful Swedish card...I love those colours! I would love a sweater like that too!
and this lady and two children come from Lappstaden, which is the largest preserved Sámi church town in Sweden.
Although you probably won't meet any Sámi here, you will at least be able to see how they used to live in traditional huts, or kåtor. About eighty of these huts in the eighteenth-century Sámi church town have survived, and are clumped unceremoniously next to a yellow, modern apartment building. The design of these square wooden buildings supporting a pyramid-shaped roof is typical of the Forest Sámi who lived in the surrounding forests, constructing their homes of indigenous timber.
seriously, Id love a sweater like this! It is just so much....ME!
well, a special part of this card is its back..because the stamps are all over it!! Katja has really put her efforts on it!
The three flower stamps are actually Christmas stamps (boy, I dread its coming!) issued in 1990, and these are part of a set of six stamps.
The blue stamp (at the very right) was issued in 1979 as a part of three stamps featuring Nobel Prize winners. This one here shows Johannes Stark who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1919, for his "discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and the splitting of spectral lines in electric fields".
The remaining two stamps were also issued in 1979 (im truly amazed at the fact that such oldies still can be purchased and used), and are a part of a set of 5 stamps about Fishing Development. Not quite sure what that one is all about though...

Premstaetten, Austria (10 October, 2017) — ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, today announced the launch of the AS5172A/B magnetic position sensors, which feature a two-wire PSI5 interface for fast and secure transmission of their precise rotary position measurements.
The new AS5172A and AS5172B system-on-chip (SoC) devices are 0° to 360° contactless rotary magnetic position sensors which provide absolute angle measurements in high 14-bit resolution. The sensors have been developed as SEooC devices according to the automotive safety standard ISO26262, and feature extensive on-chip self-diagnostic systems. This makes the AS5172A/B ideal for safety-critical automotive applications, enabling a vehicle system to meet the highest ASIL safety level requirements.
In addition, the PSI5 interface in the AS5172A/B parts conforms to the latest standards, as set by the PSI5 specification versions 1.3 and 2.1.
AEC-Q100 qualified, the AS5172A/B devices support many automotive remote position sensing applications including brake and gas pedal position sensing, throttle valve and tumble flaps, steering angle sensors, chassis ride height sensors, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves, and fuel-level measurement systems.
Based on Hall sensor technology, the AS5172A/B devices measure the orthogonal component of the flux density over a full-turn rotation and compensate for external stray magnetic fields with a robust architecture centered around a 14-bit (0.022° resolution) sensor array and analog front end.
The AS5172A/B can also be programmed to support a sub full-turn angular range of motion as small as 0° to 10°, to achieve the best resolution for the application.
The high sensitivity Hall sensor front ends also enable the devices to work with small, low cost target magnets and support a wide magnetic field input range of 10-90mT. Only a simple two-pole magnet rotating over the center of the package is required to provide a nearly instant indication of the magnet's absolute angular position. The magnet may be placed above or below the device.
The AS5172A/B operate over a wide supply voltage range of 4V to 16.5V, and support up to +20V of overvoltage protection. In addition, the supply pins are protected against reverse polarity up to -18V. The AS5172A/B is also easily programmed over the device's VDD pin via a single-wire UART-over-PSI5 interface, minimizing the number of pins on the application programming connector.
"The introduction of our AS5172A/B magnetic angle position sensors reflects ams' continued efforts to support the evolving interface and safety requirements of our automotive customers," said Thomas Mueller, Director of Marketing for position sensors at ams. "With their PSI5 interfaces, and robust embedded self-diagnostics, the AS5172A/B are the perfect solution for enabling OEMs to achieve the highest in ASIL safety level compliance in remote angle position sensing applications."
The AS5172 is available in a TSSOP14 package (AS5172B) and in an SIP package (AS5172A). The SIP package (System in Package) integrates the AS5172 sensor die together with the decoupling capacitors to yield improved ESD and EMC performance, eliminating the need for a PCB, and reducing overall system sensor costs. The AS5172A and AS5172B operate over a -40°C to 125°C and -40°C to 150°C temperature range, respectively.
The AS5172A/B magnetic position sensors are available immediately in production volumes.

Behold in Wonder and Awe!
Man, that looks every bit as awesome as I've been hoping.
It is, of course, worth noting that the trailer for The Phantom Menace looked awesome, too. So there's still plenty of room for letdown here.
Still, the ace in the hole is that, of course, it is Steven Spielberg and not George Lucas in the director's chair. Dude's made two outright stinkers in the last 15 years (both quick, low-effort cash-ins, War of the Worlds and The Lost World). I'm really curious to see what Spielberg as a much older, more mature filmmaker does with the good Dr. Jones.
"This ain't gonna be easy."
"Not as easy as it used to be."

Two years ago I was a student at ANTHEM COLLEGE getting my hours for certification to be a massage therapist. I have done intuitive massage for over 20 years, part time as I worked other "real jobs". When I got let go at the end of my temporary job in Jan. 2010 I decided to launch my practice, doing what I love, full time. I love Coaching, Energy Work and Massage. Well…. I discovered that in order to command the credibility I needed as a massage therapist I needed to go back to school. So….. I did! 🙂
I finished Massage Therapy training in March 2011 and launched my practice by leasing a space in Keystone Chiropractic in Spring Park, MN.
Now almost 2 years later….. how is it going?? Check back here soon as I write more details of the journey to re-invent myself at 60 years young!!!!

Even in theoretical -- serious -- academic psychology, there have been "fads." Lobotomies were popular in the 1940s and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a sort of expose about that. There was a time when psychologists chocked an awful lot of problems up to having a "dominant mother and a passive father." Fortunately we seem to be over that one.
We knitting and fiber people -- and you all know who you are -- have long admitted our problems. I'd say we've been in the vanguard of honesty when it comes to ourselves, don't you agree? We've all known about fiberholics and yarnaholics for ages. We talk openly and freely about our addiction to fiber and how we just can't control the urge for yarn.
All this has been out of the closet for years.
But who has been truly willing to name and confront their "inner piggy"? That grabbing, grasping, insatiable little core of nasty naked greed? The plotting and scheming. The selfish urges. Yes even embezzling money from the food budget! or thinking of doing it! to buy more yarn, more fleece, more roving. More! More! More!
Do you surf the net late at night? Read knitting books in the bathroom? How about daydream about the latest Noro or sari silk while you're driving? Do you use that credit card when you know you shouldn't?? And accidently on purpose forget to remember to mention it to your husband? If a friend asks if you have any extra yarn of a certain color, have you ever lied about it? Did you really donate freely to that kindergarten project??
This is the inner piggy. And I'll be the first to admit it, ok? I'm not blaming anybody else or trying to pass the buck. I saw a merino silk blend on Wingham Wool Works' site (they're in Yorkshire, England) and with trembling hands, reached for the credit card. Cotton Clouds have some lovely warp yarn cones on sale....but I resisted. I stuck to the budget at Camilla Valley Farm (outside Toronto) -- but even after buying 15 pounds of yarn, I woke in the middle of the night wishing I'd just slipped in another copy of the weaving magazine they had. After all, who would have noticed? My husband is just flat befuddled by my stash (muah ha ha ha).
But come on now. After buying 15 pounds of yarn, it was just flat ungrateful to want weaving magazines too. But that is the inner piggy at work. Unconscious, but ever lurking, wanting more and more and more and more!
So try to journal about this. See if you can identify the piggy early in the game; before she's become angry at being suppressed. Work with her, try to incorporate her into your life more. I truly believe you'll find she can be a good, thoughtful and friendly part of your personality.

Hi all,
I have been gone for a while from this part of my blog, and it's mainly been due to lack of hours in the day.
In an ideal world I'd love to be able to post here regularly, exercise regularly, eat sensibly all of the time, as I am only too aware of what happens to me and my body and my mood if I don't make the right choices.
I am not 100% happy with my shape at the moment, and although I fit into standard 8-10 clothes all over, I feel I am so un-toned and just *soft* for lack of better way of describing it.
I have personally always preferred to be toned and fit and have been known to have a six -pack stomach at various stages of my life an even though I have 2 kids I don't accept that as an excuse to myself for NOT looking my absolute best.
I have decided to part take in a "30 day Ab challenge" run by Melissa from
Melissa is a fitness fanatic (whom I used to work with in a gym many years ago) who ran half a marathon this year with a group of girls from Twitter formed by the lovely @BangsandaBun and when she tweeted about it recently I thought here's my cue to make the month of November the month where I get back on track and get those abs back in shape!
There really is no excuse for me, I know I am capable of being a lot fitter - but sometimes lazing about in the evenings and wasting time of Social Media sites is a much preferred option!
My inspirational picture would have to be this of Anna Kournikova.. Yes please!
She's got a fab body, abs of steel yet still maintaining a girly feminine look
SO NO MORE EXCUSES! I hate excuses and I hate when I hear myself making them!
I am the only person holding me back and I cannot excuse myself anymore.
So Mel will be running the 30 day challenge through her blog and Twitter and there is a group of us who've committed to taking part and we'll be following a grueling abs routine for 30 days and tweet and blog about it, and keep each other motivated
I have decided that as well as doing the abs challenge I will change my food & general exercise habits for the month of November, and obviously hope that the the good habits stick after November.
If anything I'll be in great shape for Christmas parties ;)
Tomorrow morning I will take a before picture of my stomach- depending on how that looks I may or may not post it here. (I may wait till I have the after pictures so I can post them together ;) )
My promises to this challenge are:
- To put in my all 100% to this challenge! I shall not let the team down!
- Zero Tolerance. On the banned list will be Pasta, White Bread, Simple Carbs, Cakes, Chocolate, Fizzy Drinks, Crisps, Sugar, Cheese, Biscuits, Processed foods, Any carbs after 3pm, Sweets….
- Clean & wholesome eating. Fruit, Vegetables, Greens, Salads, Protein Rich, Low-fat, Complex Carbs, Nuts & Seeds.
- I will complete 45 minutes high intensity cardio workout (at home) 4 times a week.
- I will follow the abs challenges and tasks given to me/us and not cheat- after all I'd be cheating myself.
- I will not binge on 'Indulgence Sundays' – One treat only, not a whole day of binging!
- I will not drink any alcohol AT ALL (This will be the hardest for me actually)
- I will NOT make excuses! None. If I do- smack me! Virtually..
- I will drink 2 litres of water as standard, daily, I already have 4 bottles waiting in the kitchen, I intend to finish one per day!
- I will eat breakfast daily, even if it is a tiny portion of porridge with water (I have never eaten breakfast as I tend to eat majority of my food really late at night)
So all there is left to say now is -WISH ME LUCK- Join us if you want to - all the details are right here:thru the blue.me/category/30-day-ab-challenge
I shall be posting about my progress here and definitely on Twitter as Chic Beauty Blog on Twitter - Ciao for now x

So I have had a long break, but I have been baking and cooking away. I must say that living in Atlanta one does get to try out a plethora of various cuisines. However, I must say when I visited Melbourne, Australia I was so impressed with the variety of food. There were restaurants that had street food from South East Asian countries. I did partake of a few and enjoyed every tantalizing morsel of yumminess. If you ever get a chance to visit Melbourne make sure you leave enough of time to eat. In addition, make sure you eat at Brunetti's – they even have a counter in Myer's and we totally enjoyed their desserts. Make sure you get the bite sized pieces that way you get to sample a lot more!
Now back to the regularly scheduled writing – I have been baking pizza the Peter Reinhart way which I think is great. You get a really lovely thin crust and you get to freeze dough for a later date. In addition, I have used the dough to make Indian bread 'Naan' which comes out really well. Well I was watching TV – Cooks Country on PBS and they had what a pan pizza recipe. I was most intrigued by it. I was very happy to have my trusty kitchen-aid do the kneading for me. This pizza dough is not the thin crust variety but the pizza is absolutely brilliant.
Feel free to modify the toppings – I happen to love the peppery taste of tarragon and I had some lying around so on it went. I wanted to increase the spice level and that is why I used a spicy pepper jack cheese. You can go with any variety of cheese that you like and you can top it with anything you like.
Adapted from Cooks Country
For the dough
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp water (warm water)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 1 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the topping
- 28 oz can of drained diced tomatoes
- 8 oz mozzarella (shredded)
- 8 oz jalapeno pepper jack (or your favorite cheese shredded)
- 20 basil leaves (cut into strips)
- tarragon (optional – as much – as little – or not at all)
- sea salt optional
Stir the yeast in the 3/4 cup of water and let it rest for 5 minutes until nice and frothy. Mix the bread flour and salt.
Add the yeast water mixture and the oil to the dough and knead on low until the dough comes together. Then turn up the speed to medium low and knead for about 5 minutes until you have a really nice soft sticky dough. If your dough is not sticky start adding the additional water as you continue to knead for another 5 minutes. Take a teaspoon of olive oil and coat your dough.
Oil a 11×13 sheet pan well, this will help your pizza slide out very easily once done. Plop the dough out onto the pan and pat it into the shape of a rectangle. You do not need it to fill the pan. Just a 10×6 inch rectangle should suffice. Cover with cling wrap and put it in a warm place until doubled in size. This should take about an hour to an hour and a half.
After the dough has risen, remove the cling wrap. The dough should be very sticky. Work it to the edges of the pan gently stretching it. Cover it with cling wrap again and let it rest for about 45 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the dough is ready turn your oven to 500F.
When your dough is ready top with the two shredded cheese till about a half inch from the side. Then top with the tomato. Put it in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. You will see your crust is formed and your cheese is bubbling. Remove it from the oven using your oven mitts. Let it cool for about 2-3 minutes on a wire rack. While it is cooling top with basil and tarragon if using. Sprinkle a little sea salt (if using). Then slide the pizza out onto your cutting board slice and enjoy.
