Comic Review -- X-Factor #107: Punch-O-Rama / Todd Dezago & Kerry Gammill
In this laugh-a-panel issue of an otherwise none too interesting series (to me, at least--I just wasn't a fan of Havok in those days... err, well, ever), Strong Guy, whose civilian name is the equally hilarious Guido, tries to catch a plane at an airport, and ends up catching the Blob trying to hijack a plane to some doubtlessly sinister destination. Guido tries to stop Blob, and of course, a fight breaks out. Fat jokes, name-calling, and physical humor abound as they slug it out for dominance, to the amazed watchfulness of the airport and the possible destruction of the entire area. X-Factor sees their teammate taking on his foe, and rushes to his aid, but by the time they get there, Guido has beaten the Blob, saved the airport, and basically won the day. Before he can be interviewed, he collapses from exhaustion, leaving his teammates to say that he has no comment at this time.
Oh, my god. I first read this story in college, some 15 years ago when I borrowed it from a friend, and I think I very nearly herniated myself as I laughed from one scene to the next at these two. By the time I put it down, I had tears rolling down my cheeks, was shaking with laughter, and my stomach was viciously sore. I finally found it in a comic shop this evening, purchased it, and sat down to read it, to very much the same effect as previously. Best $3 I've yet spent on a comic book.
The writing in this story is top-notch if you're looking for a comedy. This story is about these two ridiculously sized men beating the ever-lovin' crap out of one another--no more, no less--and it's brilliant. Dezago keeps the pacing tight and the jokes are always present, from the very first line ("Today I learned that gravity is not our friend.") to near the end when describing how the Blob smelled like bacon as Guido dragged him away from a fire. In a particularly amusing scene, they very briefly put aside their struggle when the luggage truck they're fighting on nearly barrels into a fuel truck due to the terrified driver's incompetence.
"Turn left!" the Blob screams, as Guido tries to right the truck.
"WHOSE left?!" Guido replies.
"THEY'RE BOTH THE SAME!!!" the Blob thunders.
Okay, I got this one for the lulz, and I swear to Godhand it's every bit as funny today as it was when I read it fifteen years ago.
Art-wise, the issue delivers very well. I'm not familiar with Kerry Gammill's work, but he does an excellent job of support Dezago's script, keeping the expressions over-the-top, the positions weighted for maximum visual humor where needed, and the ridiculous size of the story's two stars in the forefront. I really think these two guys had a whole lot of fun with this issue, and were probably laughing with one another through the entire scripting and illustrating process.
Overall, I really can't recommend this issue enough. I'm generally not a fan of this incarnation of X-Factor, but this story alone is pure comedy gold in comic book form. The script just pops with humor and slapstick, and the art amply supports it. If you want some mindless violence with plenty of insults, physical humor and name-calling hilarity, look no further. This story is exactly what you need. I laughed from almost panel to panel, and so will you. Very highly recommended.

About Ruby Stone / Manik Stone
Ruby is the red to pinkish red variety of the Corundum mineral group that also includes Sapphire which is known primarily as the blue variety although it is available in many colors. Ruby is one of the top four gems (Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald) in popularity. This is mostly due to its beauty, intense color and toughness in jewelry. With a Moh's hardness of 9.0 and no cleavage, it is a very durable gem for jewelry. Ruby's red color is caused by minor amounts of trivalent Chromium (Cr) replacing Aluminum (Al) in the crystal structure. Pure Cr2O3 occurs in nature as the mineral Eskolaite, which is green.
Ruby is available from many locations around the world. Some of these locations such as Burma, Ceylon and Madagascar, are well known for their fine Rubies. Ruby is also known as manickam stone in Tamil.
Properties of Ruby stone
Chemical Composition : Al2O3 + Fe,Ti,Cr [Aluminum Oxide]
Hardness : 9.0
Specific Gravity (Density) : 3.99 – 4.10 (g/cm3)

24 Hour Goal Drought [picture]
The Spaniard hasn't scored since his double against Genk last October and has only netted five times for the Blues since his £50 million transfer from Liverpool.
Torres did not feature in Roberto Di Matteo's starting line up in Chelsea's win against Stoke on Saturday and his place in the Spain squad for Euro 2012 is under threat as a result of the lack of goals for his club team.
Spain boss Vicente Del Bosque has stated that a place in the Spain Euro 2012 squad is there for Torres to take, but only if he is able to rediscover the goalscoring form he was formerly renowned for.
Del Bosque said: 'I will wait until the last minute to decide about and Torres. Torres must recapture his goal instinct during the next few months.'
'I watched Chelsea's FA Cup win over Birmingham and he worked hard. I have confidence in El Nino, but need to wait before a final decision.'

So naturally this calls for tinkering around in the kitchen with new tastes! I came up with this combo after trying to modify several other recipes to fit what I already had on hand! I will link the ingredients below but now on to the good stuff!
Eclectic Living Room Refresh
When we moved in, we used this room located at the front of the house as a sort of formal dining room (if you can consider a folding table your formal dining set). With the one window it was very dark all the time! The original wood work in the house is stained a dark crimson brown, and we really felt that it's beauty was hidden with all the red!
We realized pretty early on that standard primer wouldn't cut it (especially since these wall are plaster). After consulting others with old plaster walls, we learned that Killz has several extra strength primers, that have worked wonderfully! First thing to do once we primed over the red was giving the ceiling a fresh coat of white paint.
One of the biggest changes we made to the room that impacted the brightness factor was repainting the ceiling. As you can see in the above photo it was a yellow cream color (no wonder it felt so dark in there)!
The process took several weeks to complete and we made sure to preserve the original woodwork.
This room is truly our biggest transformation to date! The color we selected is Sailing Salt by Nautica. It has a purple hue in the warm evening hours and a fresh blue in the morning. I think it looks the most magical in the moody early morning light! Here are some after shots taken around 7:45am!
Sources: Maxwell Sofa from Interior Define //cowskin rug from IKEA // vintage Turkish rug from Kaya Kilims //the herringbone coffee table is designed and made by my husband...shop coming soon! // frames and mirror are antique finds // bookcase, desk and rocking chair are family heirlooms.
So excited to finally have some of our wedding photos framed! If you missed our wedding story documented by the wonderful Ritter Collective, you can see it here.
We really love our custom sofa from Interior Define! If you haven't heard of them, you should for sure check them out! I'm pretty particular when it comes to furniture and when we knew we wanted to invest in a good sofa, I wanted to make sure it ticked all my requirements!
This is the Maxwell sofa, in Zinc Pebble weave with black turned legs. The material is so durable and easily cleaned. I love that all the cushions aren't attached so that I can flip them/fluff them so they don't get that strange droop. They also don't use flame retardant chemicals in/on their cushions and fabrics, which is important to me.
This amazing lighting piece was designed and built by Collin from local thorny trees.
Stay tuned for a shop launch coming soon, filled with handmade pieces by Collin!

Boutique Closet Sale: a discussion on clothing
Clothing generates a huge amount of waste in our world; discarded clothing makes up a significant percentage of landfills. This massive industry contaminates land and rivers with toxic dyes and cotton-growing practices. Big brands manufacture in places like India and Bangladesh, hiring women and children for cheap labor in dangerous conditions. We can raise the standard with the choices we make and companies we support. One way to impact is to buy and sell second-hand!

Ivy Wilde: Our Story of Miscarriage
Trusting looks very different in the face of growing a life and all the new scary/exciting things that brings, than it does in a place of loss of life and the questions/unknowns that won't be answered.
In some ways it felt like our miscarriage flew in the face of my trust. I felt let down in so many areas I was trusting him: to keep my loved ones safe, to guide me, that he is bigger than my failings, that he had a future for me to hope in, to give good gifts beyond my wildest dreams.
Organic Tea: Is it the Real Deal?
This spring I began replacing my conventional teas with Organic, mostly herbal ones.
An important part of reducing my body's exposure to toxins is buying organic as much as I can. Organic means there's a higher standard for quality growing and ingredients and often having a 3rd party certification (like USDA) provides integrity assurance that organic isn't just a company claim.
There are a lot of hype out there about "organic" and "natural" products and a lot of brands and companies to wade through. The more I read, the more I discovered fakes! It led me to ask: "how do I know it's the real deal?"
Monthly Green Round Up
I've decided to start sharing new products I'm trying and the steps I'm taking on a monthly basis toward a healthier lifestyle and sustainable home! Growth and improvement don't happen over night. Small, but intentional steps add up over time. With that being said, welcome to the first installment of Monthly Green Roundup.
Skin Care Essentials
Our Simple Bedroom Refresh
I really thrive on interior design and think the perfectionist side of me loves those "before" and "after" home renovations-- seeing people dream, transform and use their skill to bring life to a space. The thing is, many times its not like that. Unless you have saved up, have a generous budget for remodeling or work as a designer, that "before" and "after" looks more like a progression of photos, of a space evolving and growing to become the vision you have.
5 Swiss Water Process Coffees
The Power of Perspective
Getting to the root of why I'm eating/not eating certain foods, I realized it's not that a food is "bad" in itself, as much as it just doesn't serve my body well. If I view the food I eat as the building blocks for my mind, body and even emotional well-being, eating foods that my body can't use or foods that cause destruction, doesn't fulfill my purpose.
Grain-Free Fruit and Honey Granola
Rustic and Scandinavian Inspired Christmas Decorating
We've lived in this house a little over a year now. Our first Christmas it all felt so new and I didn't have an inkling what would dress up our little place for the holidays. I think knowing a space is sometimes something that takes time and experimenting. This year I planned ahead and acquired various pines, cedars and fir branches.
5 Resources to Detox Your makeup Bag
Take Time to Reflect
Reaching a milestone is something to celebrate. For us, part of celebrating is remembering --remembering our priorities and goals, remembering how we chose one another. Remembering that no matter where we go in life-- living on the fruit of our dreams with abundance, or facing our short-comings and starting on the long and often painful process of growing-- we are for each other.
Cinnamon Pecan Breakfast Rolls
House of Stamm
Fall holds a lot of dreamy inspiration for us. Maybe it's because it was this time of year that we were putting the finishing touches on our first party: our wedding. Maybe its the subtle shifting of light and temperature or the transformation of the landscapes with autumnal hues.
Whatever it is, we have some really exciting dreams in the works this fall. Beginning with the launch of House of Stamm on this, our first anniversary.
Apple Cinnamon Nut Bars
Our Very First Party
When we were planning our wedding someone said to me, "when you think about it, this is really just the first party you are throwing as husband and wife." That describes exactly what our hearts desired. It was so important to us to have all our family and friends, those who had been a part of our journey and whom we wished to honor in our lives, present and engaged. It was a celebration of a new season in our lives and of the community around us. We planned our dream party. From the gorgeous florals, to the Krispy Kreme donuts, to the fireworks, all involved some friend or family member and I think that's part of what made the atmosphere so festive. Everyone had a part in the celebration.

Michaela DePrince (born 6 January 1995) is a Sierra Leonean-American ballet dancer. With her mother, Elaine DePrince, Michaela authored the book Taking Flight: From War Orphan to Star Ballerina.
Early life
Born Mabinty Bangura, she grew up as an orphan in Sierra Leone during the civil war. Her adoptive parents were told that her father was shot by rebels when she was three years old, and that her mother starved to death soon after. Frequently malnourished, mistreated, and derided as a "devil's child" because of vitiligo, a skin condition causing depigmentation, she fled to a refugee camp after her orphanage was bombed. In 1999, at age four, she and another girl, Mia, were adopted by Elaine and Charles DePrince from New Jersey, and taken to the United States. Due to intense ballet training, DePrince took online classes through Keystone National High School, where she earned her high school diploma.
Inspired by a picture she found and kept while in Sierra Leone, DePrince trained as a ballet dancer in the U.S, performing at the Youth America Grand Prix among other competitions. She pursued a professional career despite encountering instances of racial discrimination: aged eight, she was told that she couldn't perform as Marie in The Nutcracker because "America's not ready for a black girl ballerina", and a year later, a teacher told her mother that black dancers weren't worth investing money in. DePrince was one of the stars of the 2011 documentary film First Position, which follows six young dancers vying for a place in an elite ballet company or school, and performed on the TV show Dancing with the Stars.
In 2012, she graduated from the American Ballet Theatre's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School in New York, and joined theDance Theatre of Harlem. Her professional debut performance was in the role of Gulnare in Mzansi Productions and theSouth African Ballet Theatre's premiere of Le Corsaire on 19 July 2012.
In July 2013, she joined the junior company of the Dutch National Ballet, based in Amsterdam.In 2014 she joined the Dutch National Ballet as an éleve.
DePrince has cited Lauren Anderson, the first black American principal ballerina, as her role model.

Nashville, TN
I dedicate this photo gallery to my wife Bobbie Jo as it was for her birthday that I bought tickets to this show. She loves classic Motown as do I.
Even though each group had only one original member remaining totally rocked the Ryman. The audience was theirs from the very first song. I mean who can resist the sounds of Motown and not come out of their seats dancing. The musicians backing them up were great, I especially liked the sax solo on "What's going on" performed by Nashville's own Rahsaan Barber.

My dog is spoiled — there's no denying it. She eats high-quality salmon dog food, noshes on kangaroo meat treats and bathes in shampoo made for sensitive skin.
She is, without a doubt, pampered.
Her cousin (my brother's 70-pound pit bull) is also treated like royalty. The mere fact that he routinely nudges your hand with his nose when he's hungry for attention is a dead giveaway.
Celebrity Pets
My guess is your pet gets high-class treatment, too. The way we treat our pets, though — giving them endless belly rubs and behind-the-ear scratches — doesn't even come close to the kind of spoiling some celebrity pets get.
1. The Winfrey Dogs
Oprah's known for doling out prizes and gifts. Guests lucky enough to have stepped foot in her recording studio typically left with thousands of dollars worth of stuff — from TVs, to cars, to laptops and more.
None of that, however, compares to the kind of gifts her dogs receive. Take their trust fund, for example, which amounts to a whopping $30 million.
Yep, when Oprah dies, her dogs will inherit a fortune. Given the amount she's put in their names for future use, there's no telling how much she's spending on them now.
My guess? It's a lot.
2. The Spears Dogs
We all know raising a dog is costly. Vet bills, food, grooming and more inevitably add up. For most, though, it's not to the tune of $30,000.
For Britney Spears, it is.
After her finances were publicized in 2013 and again in 2014, the world learned Spears spent thousands of dollars on things like pet clothing (totaling $1,585), grooming ($300 per visit) and pet sitting (nearly $15,000 a year).
Honestly? Knowing a dog's wardrobe costs more than mine is a little upsetting.
3. The Hiltons
Paris Hilton's dogs live lives more lavish than most of ours. Their mansion, for example, boasts features like:
- Multiple stories
- A balcony
- Air conditioning
- Heating
- A chandelier
Apparently, the "dog house" was designed in the image of Hilton's own house. From the wrought-iron fence to the perfectly trimmed lawn (yes, we're still talking about the dog house), you can tell Paris put a lot of thought into it.
4. Trouble Helmsley
Leona Helmsley, the late hotel and real estate billionaire, left her white Maltese (named Trouble) a trust fund of $12 million.
Given only 2 of her 4 grandchildren also received trust funds (for $5 million each), it's clear Trouble was Helmsley's pride and joy.
Along with the fund, Trouble was designated a spot in the Helmsley mausoleum, which has an upkeep budget of around $3 million.
5. The Carey Terriers
Mariah Carey's Jack Russell Terriers indulge in roughly $46,000 worth of spa treatments per year. Granted, there are 8 of them, but even so, it's a wonder how a pet spa bill could add up to a number like that.
By human standards, a regular trip to the spa might cost somewhere around $100 or perhaps a little more. Based off Carey's total, that amounts to around 460 massages or facials annually.
Divide that number by 8 dogs, and you'll see each of the Carey pups could potentially be getting just over 1 treatment per week.
Wouldn't that be the life?
6. The Roddenberry Dogs
Majel Roddenberry, the late wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, also left her dogs a hefty trust fund.
And along with the $4 million they inherited, the dogs gained the right to permanent residence in their mansion home.
Not only that, but also the Roddenberrys' favorite employee gets to live alongside them (with $1 million in her pocket) because of how well she always cared for the dogs.
7. Karl's Cat
Karl Lagerfeld, creative director for Chanel, is more of a cat person, which is lucky for his Siamese named Choupette.
According to Lagerfeld, Choupette:
- Eats lunch and dinner on the table with him every day
- Sleeps under a pillow
- Knows how to use an iPad
- Has 2 personal maids — 1 for daytime, and 1 for night
To top it off, when Lagerfeld is away, Choupette's maids take notes on her day-to-day activity. At this point, there are around 600 pages' worth of lovingly detailed notes (or more).
Jealous much?
These pets live the high life, but do you think they know that? Whether or not they do, it's safe to say their humans adore them.

London metallers SAVAGE MESSIAH have released a brand new music video for the track "Hellblazer", featuring GAME OF THRONES star PIXIE LE KNOT.
With eye-watering riffs, lung-busting vocals and fist-in-the-air fearsomeness, "Hellblazer" tells a tale of power, religion and corrupted innocence through an ancient Illuminati ritual. The music video was filmed with director TOM WALSH (BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, PENDULUM) and features a mesmerising performance from famed London contortionist PIXIE LE KNOT (GAME OF THRONES Season 3, THE DEVIL INSIDE).
Watch the "Hellblazer" video now at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMLgbl7yU98
SAVAGE MESSIAH frontman DAVE SILVER comments:
"As we get ever closer to the release date for 'The Fateful Dark', we're very pleased to unveil our latest promo for the track 'Hellblazer'. Musically, this is a solid representation of the Savage Messiah sound; melodic, heavy, catchy and with guitar solos galore! We tried to invoke that classic Uriah Heep-esque groove with this track so we hope you dig it! And talking of invoking, the video depicts us conducting a kind of exorcism ritual of sorts where we draw the evil pope from contortionist and Game of Thrones actress Pixie Le Knot! We want to extend our thanks to director Tom Walsh and all involved in creating this video!"
"Hellblazer" is taken from SAVAGE MESSIAH's new album, THE FATEFUL DARK, which is due to be released on March 10th in Europe and March 18th in the USA. The album is available to pre-order now from the Earache Webstore on CD with an exclusive bonus disc featuring three cover tracks, and is also available on limited edition coloured vinyl LP including a bonus 10" vinyl featuring four cover tracks.

Spring training madness!
Setting aside for a second that Hargrove and the front office are doing things like putting old, never-hit infielders on the active roster for no reason, there's going to be baseball on! Woooo! The M's again flout the rule that they're supposed to take at least two recognizable regular players and one guy on top of that they can point to and claim is a recognizable regular player, putting only Vidro in the early game.
Mariners at San Francisco! 7:15! FSN! In San Francisco!!! Fun note: the Giants are charging $90/seat for premium field club seats to this game. Really. And they're available.
I was so excited I accidentally queued this up to run yesterday at this time, to briefly hilarious results.
For your game thread discussion: if the M's spend $110 million and only (as seems to be the consensus prediction) win 73 games, what other teams since the start of free agency will have spent so much so poorly? And I'm not looking for cheap teams who sucked – I'm trying to think of massive spending done to so little effect. Right off the bat, a couple candidates: the 1999-2000 Cubs and Orioles teams.

Really? Long-running good-defense rep, will probably wind up with 2,600 hits or so … not that I'd vote for him. But you'd think he'd get a fair amount of support from writers who are enamored of the aforementioned virtues.

Tickets still available for Opening Day… wow. That's gotta scare them.
I went back & looked and it seems to be pretty standard for this time of the season for the Ms — even coming off the 116 win season there were still singles for the opener. Last year 2 days before, they had 1500 still available; wonder what the number is this year?

I had an epiphany earlier in the evening after hearing for the 12 billionth time how Willie B has always "done everything that has been asked of him, and more."
They need to ask him to hit!!! It's that simple! He has done everything they've asked him to do for all these years. But nobody ever asked him to hit!
I know. Brilliant.

I'm really glad I didn't go to this game. Garlic fries aside the schedule said split squad so I didn't want to waste my money in the proposition that I would see a starting lineup with the likes of sure to be cast offs such as Rey Ordonez, oh wait….

I think you're on to something. It was 2002 when Willie hit .455 as a September call-up. That was the last season with Lou as the manager. Of course Lou would ask the kid to hit, that's all Lou ever really asks of anybody (well, he asks pitchers to throw strikes, but he'd probably forgive them if they could hit).
BoMel and Grover just forgot to ask.

I'm late to the discussion because I had to bowl last night, but how about the 1999 or 2005 LA Dodgers? In 1999 they were 77-85 and in 2005 they had, I think, the 3rd highest payroll in baseball and went 71-91.
Dave Clapper on
March 30th, 2007 11:17 am
How about the '89–93 Yankees? I don't know what their budgets were, but they had to be Yankee-sized, and they finished 74-87, 67-95, 71-91, and 76-86.

ABC's "Nashville" promises poignance, high drama, a range of music
[media-credit name="ABC" align="alignleft" width="225″][/media-credit]
Expect a lot of crossover music, not strictly country from ABC's "Nashville," among the most promising dramas of the fall batch.
Callie Khouri ("Thelma & Louise") is writing; T-Bone Burnett is doing the music. Connie Britton ("American Horror Story") and Hayden Panettiere ("Heroes") play dueling divas from different generations. A political story weaves through the music business rivalry, with family and romance along the way.
"We want it to be a thrill ride," said executive producer R.J. Cutler ("The War Room").
"It will just get nastier and nastier," Khouri added with a smile.
Britton plays an aging country singer facing her competition in a young ingenue. What has the singing challenge been like for Britton, an actor more than a singer? "It's a journey," she deadpanned. A soundtrack CD is in the offing.
[media-credit name="ABC/Craig Sjodin" align="alignright" width="200″][/media-credit]
"From "American Horror Story" to "Nashville" is a pretty big stretch," Britton said. Her accent will differ from that of Tammy Taylor, her character in "Friday Night Lights,", notably with "fewer y'alls." Overall, she claims the premise is not a cat fight.
The guessing game about which real-life artists these characters represent is already on. Reba McIntyre? Taylor Swift? Britton demurs that her character is "an amalgam." Panettiere said she's heard the comparison of her character to Taylor Swift "a lot." Other than being roughly the same age and blonde, she said, they are quite different.
Cutler says the production will take full advantage of Nashville. A reproduction of the famed Bluebird Cafe has been constructed on the set.
One prediction you can count on: "You'll never hear me sing in this show," promised Powers Boothe, who plays the scheming patriarch of a powerful Nashville family.

Kasku Finland would be wonderful and I would love to come there. And Yes Kelly back to Scotland, always back to Scotland!Delete

Hmmm...I never know where I want to go...guess I'm more the sitting at home - type...

1. London
2. some huge amusement park
3. going back to Canada
4. Pompeji
5. maybe USA
Pompeji! Really interesting choice. It would be so incredible to see. Adding it!ReplyDelete
Oh such a simple idea yet so thought provoking : )ReplyDelete
ok here is my list
1. Vegas
2. California
3. Greece
4. Germany
5. Canada!!
I don't travel alot so I figured I should start in the US : )
These are in no particular order:ReplyDelete
1. back to London
2. Wizarding World of Harry Potter
3. west coast of the U.S.
4. Toronto-ish area
5. New Zealand
6. Finland/Scandinavia
i cheated. sorry! :P
Oh man, this is a hard one!ReplyDelete
Okay, in no order at all:
1. England (So many reasons why; just love the culture and the history)
2. Ireland (Beautiful and family reasons)
3. Germany (Same as Ireland)
4. Jerusalem (Personal reason)
5. L.A. or Vegas (Party, anyone?)
There are so many other places that I would love to go to. I have to say that I did cross one off my list recently. I visited the American Shakespeare Center and it was fantastic! So beautiful and so much fun! I recommend visiting the ASC to anyone and everyone, no matter your love (or perhaps lack thereof) of Shakespeare.
This is a fun post! Can't wait to see what's next!
1. Japan (including a jaunt up to Hokkaido)ReplyDelete
2. Canada (esp. Toronto, Nunavut (<- including crossing into the Arctic, esp. if I can see narwhals), and whale watching in the Maritimes and New Foundland)
3. Antarctica (including penguins!)
4. Places I have yet to explore (and want to do so fully!) in my own country, the USA: Highest Priorities = Alaska, Chicago, Portland, NYC. Additional possibilities = San Francisco, Miami. Places I have been before but want to explore more in depth: New Orleans, Washington DC.
5. the Scandinavian nationsReplies
Great list. We love D.C. and have been several times. San Francisco one of my fave places. Ahh Narwals. I remember it being the N in the boys first alphabet animals book!Delete
*Ahem* Yes, quite familiar w/one of your husband's visits to DC!Delete
Yes *ahem* I was with him!Delete
I have been to both London and Paris before and would love to return and spend substantial time in both as more than a rushed tourist. Especially, London. London was the first place ever in my whole life that from the first moment I stepped out of the airport, I felt at home. It just felt so right. London and I get along very, very well.ReplyDelete
I need to add a place to my list: I want to visit the Beje in Haarlem in the Netherlands. That is the home where Corrie ten Boom's family rescued Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland. It is a museum, now.
I visited and placed flowers on Corrie's grave when I lived in California.
Corrie is my very most favorite of all favorites ever in the whole world. My hero of all heroes.Replies
For the record, I think we should have a blog meet-up in Costa Rica. Who's in? :DReplyDelete
I'm really enjoying this topic! Barbara and Deb, y'all have a winner with this listing thing!ReplyDelete
OK, I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but, as selfish, silly, decadent, and indulgent as it is, I kinda want to spend *winces with embarrassment* a few days at a spa resort. One of those places with the healthy, yummy food and lots of massages.
And, I want to know what it's like to go on a Caribbean cruise. *hangs head in shame* I know! I know! I'm sorry! But, I can't help it! I want to feel spoiled!
At some point in my life, I want to feel rich and indulged and pampered for a few days. I'm sorry!Replies
Don't be sorry, it's nothing more than you deserve!Delete
I have been on several Caribbean cruises. You can be as indulgent as you want to be. I've had a massage on each cruise... Paradise, especially with the oils and moisturizer on dry, over-sunned skin.Delete
I fell In love with St. Thomas the first time I saw it. Most of my cruises since have had it on their itinerary, but really, Put me on a ship anywhere and I'll be a happy camper.
I call cruising the smorgasborde of vacations. You can sample bits of each port and if you like it, you can go back for an extended period of time. LOVE CRUISING.
(Carnival for budget, Royal Caribbean for a little more finesse' (sp))
And, I want to volunteer on an archaeological dig and a paleontological dig sometime. This desire goes all the way back to when I was a little girl!ReplyDelete
This is gonna sound weird, but over the last year or so, I've been developing a fascination with the idea of walking across major bridges like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm wanting to do this. Yup yup yup.ReplyDelete
Just in case you don't know it: I'm saving reading these till I get back on Sat night. Not enough internet time and I reaaaaalllly want to savour these :)ReplyDelete
I have to say, I love this idea! If anyone has anymore "5 crazy things" suggestions (after Thurs), help a girl (or a couple of them) out. Miss you!! xoxo
- SamaraJune 20, 2012 at 1:25 AM
Great topic to take my mind of the flu. Wish I was in the Northern Hemisphere with the rest of you enjoying summer!ReplyDelete
1. Jamaica - my mum grew up there so it's always been a dream to see her childhood home
2. Machu Picchu- and then everywhere else in South America!
3. Hawaii
4. A culinary course anywhere in Italy
5. Morrocco
Deb, we had the 'N is for Narwhal' book, too!!ReplyDelete
My DREAM destinations are all off the North American continent. I've been to Washington D.C (love it), Seattle, Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, Vegas (which I LOVE), St. Thomas (Which I LOVE MORE), New York City, Disney World, Savannah, Ga, the Boulder/Hoover Dam, Toronto, and Paris. I didn't see a lot in Paris, so I'd LOVE to go to the Louvre and also walk along the streets with the wrought iron decor, but it's not a priority.
I have no need to see San Francisco. I'm almost afraid of the Golden Gate Bridge. Irrational to just look at something and be afraid of it, but that's where I am with it right now.
(Gee, I've been around more than I realized. Good deal.)
SO, with that in mind, we have:
1. Athens and the Greek Isles, especially Mykonos
2. Seychelles
3. Iceland
4. Kenya (show me some animals in the wild, not behind a fence)
5. Dublin/Belgium/Netherlands
5.5 Key West/Newfoundland (okay, so I lied about North America)
The first two are a priority. Been dreaming about them for AGES. Some day, some day...
If I have to narrow down #5 and #5.5, I'll choose Ireland, esp Dublin. There. Now my answer is legitimately following the "five" rules. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJune 20, 2012 at 10:58 PM
I've also been to Hershey, PA, Baltimore, MD, and Where The Hell Are We, Virginia, aka Tappahannock, VA. I never need to go there again.Delete
So funny. Yes we should list the places we have been that we will never go to again!Delete
1 The Ridgeway Trail across the South of EnglandReplyDelete
2, Aberglasney Garden in Wales
3. Skellig Monastary on the coast of Ireland
4. The Greek Islands
5. And of course, NewFoundland
I love how specific yours are Fran. The only one of I have been to is Newfoundland and it was heaving. Done lots of England but not specifically this. Greek Islands I loved!ReplyDelete
I know I said the first five things that pop into your mind -- but the cool thing is how many of these other suggestions piqued enough interest to make my future 5. The Seychelles -- mm, yeah, sounds divine. As do so many of these places. Thanks for the "travel for thought" and for playing along!!ReplyDelete
For someone who really wants to travel I'm finding it hard to list five places. I think it's because I really want to go everywhere, so narrowing it down is the hard bitReplyDelete
1: Easter Island (Been fascinated by the Moai for years)
2: The Shetland and Orkney Islands (Visit Scotland every year but not made it this far north yet)
3: Berlin (Lived 9 months in Germany and have a degree in German, but never visited the capital city)
4: Norway (to the Fjords!)
5: New Zealand (also hunting Bilbo)
Deb, I'm off to Skye in a couple of weeks, really looking forward to it but keeping my fingers crossed that the Scottish weather decides to be a little less wet than usual.
Suzy please tell Skye that I am coming! Don't know when but I am coming! Have a wonderful time!ReplyDelete

With the development of China's construction industry, a large number of sand and gravel aggregate demand, this form led to the sand production line, the production and processing of gravel aggregate need a large number of ore processing machinery equipment, especially stone crusher . The crushing and processing of ores in sandstone and gravel production line is especially important. Here we talk about the feeding problem of the machine that needs attention in the crushing process.
Materials prohibited from crushing ores contain metal materials. In the crushing operation of mineral stone, the grinding and crushing of the material depends mainly on the crushing parts of the equipment, and the material is hammered, broken and grinded strongly. If there is non smashed metal material in the process of feeding, it will cause serious damage to the crushing cavity of the equipment. Therefore, the ore crushing equipment should be paid attention to.
Each type of stone crusher has a corresponding standard of feed size. If the size of the ore and other materials is larger than the size of the stone crusher, it is not only easy to form a sticking phenomenon at the inlet, but also increases the difficulty of the crushing chamber of the stone crusher, causing a series of production failures and greatly reducing the grinder. Working efficiency, shorten the service life of the equipment.
When the material of the stone crusher is too humid, the dust and other minerals easily appear in the process of grinding and grinding. Under the condition of insufficient wind power, it is easy to cause air duct blockage and seriously affect the crushing operation of stone crusher. Therefore, strict control of feed humidity is also an important item in the feed requirements of mineral stone grinder.

BBC News Website looks at the key issues.
What is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty?
The NPT, which has 187 signatories, was created to prevent new nuclear states emerging, to promote co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to work towards nuclear disarmament.
When it came into force in 1970, there were five declared nuclear states - the US, The Soviet Union (now Russia), China, Britain and France. These states are bound not to transfer nuclear weapons or to help non-nuclear states to obtain them.
Non-nuclear signatories agree not to seek to develop or acquire such weapons. In return, they are given an undertaking that they will be helped to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
Has it been successful?
Over the years, the NPT security framework has led several states to abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions. It has also made it far more difficult for other states to acquire the material and technology needed to build such weapons.
South Africa and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons, and the whole of South America remains nuclear-free.
One of the most recent successes in non-proliferation came in 2003, when Libya renounced its secret efforts to acquire nuclear capability.
However, there are three states - India, Israel and Pakistan - which are known to possess nuclear weapons but have never joined the treaty.
What do critics of the treaty want to change?
The US and its allies are concerned about the nuclear programmes in Iran and North Korea, and have tabled amendments to the treaty which would make it harder for other countries to go down the same path.
Both developed nuclear capability as NPT members. The treaty allows countries to make nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes, through enriching uranium or separating plutonium. But these technologies also have the potential to be used to make nuclear weapons.
In 2003, North Korea withdrew from the treaty and claimed it was building nuclear weapons. Under international law, NPT countries were institutionally powerless to respond.
Iran is pursuing an uranium enrichment programme, insisting that its intentions are strictly civilian. Washington, however, suspects Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb, and wants Tehran to halt all nuclear activities.
The Bush administration has proposed a number of treaty amendments, the most important of which would stop the spread of enrichment technology.
It also reportedly favours a German-French proposal that would require countries withdrawing from the NPT to give back benefits derived from the treaty, such as technology associated with peaceful nuclear energy production.
Are the main nuclear powers complying with the treaty?
Many nations without nuclear arms see the continued existence of huge stockpiles among the five declared nuclear powers as the main problem with the treaty.
Article VI of the treaty says: "Each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a Treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control."
The US, in particular, has caused concern with its plans to develop and test new weapons, including anti-ballistic missiles, the earth-penetrating "bunker buster" and perhaps some new "small" bombs.
Critics say these plans clash with 13 steps agreed at the last review in 2000, which includes calls for "a diminishing role" for nuclear weapons in security policies.
What about nuclear countries outside the NPT?
Non-nuclear and strongly anti-nuclear countries like New Zealand regard the fact that Israel, India and Pakistan are subject to none of the treaty's restrictions as a major problem.
Iran also says that this is unfair and that Israel should be forced to give up its nuclear weapons. But Israel says that it is in special peril.
India and Pakistan argue that if the US and others have nuclear weapons for defence, and proclaim the value of nuclear deterrence, they have no right to deny others the same benefits.
However, some experts say that the failure to bring these countries into the NPT may tempt others to join them outside.
What are these?

So I started off the week, 16th, with a haircut in Blacktown. I like my hair short, and it was getting too long for my liking. Could really feel the breeze once I got it cut, and it felt great!
In the evening, I knew a couple of mates would be at The Climbing Centre; so I figured since I had a break on Sunday, I would train. Anna was working that day, and the crew included Kate, Seann, Damo, Dave, Paul and Youngie. Jenga and Mitch came in to visit as well, good fun. Did some new routes but spent most of my time on the woodie, that thing gets you bloody tired quick! Convinced Anna that she wanted some pizza, and we went around finding out who wanted Pizza that evening. By the end of the night, we were done climbing, just sharing stories and enjoying our pizza!
Organised when I was meeting Fletcher for the day after at Wet'n'Wild, fuck yeah!!!
|Extremely detailed section coming up
Woke around 9am on the 17th, got ready and headed off to the station to grab Fletcher! Got dropped off at Wet'n'Wild just a bit before 10am with Fletcher. We lined up in order to get our season pass bands, we spent the time in the line just catching up, it had been a long time since I'd last seen him! By the time we got our bands, it was now 11:10am, spent over an hour just trying to get our bands!
Next step was to go hire some lockers to put our bags. The bands are pretty cool, you can do everything with them! I put $30 on the band so that I could buy lunch in the future without needing my wallet. The locker that you pick is attached to the RFID chip in your wrist band, and I wave over the locker in order to open or lock it! Cool stuff! Covered myself in ludicrous amounts of sunscreen before leaving the lockers, then jumped into the Wave Pool to cool down before going to our first ride.
Waited in line for around an hour, for the 360Rush. Probably the ride that gives you the biggest adrenaline ride. Made me take my necklace off; got a body board strapped to my back and then you step into a capsule. 3, 2, 1; then the platform below you drops out and you fly straight down! Lasted about 8 seconds and you also do a loop inside the tube! Good fun.
Afterwards, we headed over to another tower with more rides; and we were in line for about 5 minutes; when I heard, "Oh, hello!"; I turned my head and saw Chris! What were the chances? Matthew, his brother was the one who saw Fletcher and said that. Chris was there with his younger brother and sister; Matt and Sarah; along with more of Matt's friends, for his birthday celebrations!
It was awesome having ten of us now, made waiting for rides much more bearable, and they were all great people. The group kind of split into two, with Fletcher, Chris, Sarah, Matt and I being together. Chris and Sarah, Fletcher and I did the Aqua Tube ride, we had about 5 rides to choose from there, but I don't remember all of them. Pitch black and lots of twist and turns! Really fun.
|Not enough pictures, so yes, this is one of my snapchats.
The others went for another lap on the tower, while us four went to get lunch. They would meet us later! Jess told me she was working at the Frozen Coke area so I dropped in and said hi before getting lunch! Had burger and fries for lunch. $15, ouch! Paid with my band so that was convenient. Also figured that it would be a good time to apply more sunscreen, I had already seen so many sunburnt people.
We went to another tower of rides, the Riptide (green), Double Bowlseye (red/yellow) and The Curler (blue). The lines seem to be shorter on these and we quickly pumped out blue, green then red and yellow. We stuck as a group of five for these rides, and we actually managed to flip our raft upside down on the the red/yellow ride. The lifeguards were saying they hadn't seen that trick yet, definitely made the ride more fun! Blue was definitely the best and green was over a little too quickly.
We headed over to another tower to line up for the Tantrum. This was by far the longest line and we spent over an hour in this line waiting for this ride. The wait is definitely much more bearable with nine others though! Afterwards, we headed back to the lockers, a little tired after waiting so long in the line. Chris also called Alex to find out where he was, Alex was probably 5 metres away facing in the opposite direction. Once we managed to fit Alex's valuables our lockers, we put on more sunscreen and headed to the lazy river to float around.
Went around Boomerang Bay three times and the whole time, we were really just fighting each other trying to flip the donut floats; very relaxing though! I also found out that the towel I left by the wave pool was blown away by the wind, damn it !!!
The sun was less intense now and we headed over the tower where we have met Chris and all. This time Fletcher and I went down the Tropical Cyclone, similar to the Aqua Loop, it's hard not to be smiling during these rides! So cold. To finish off the day, most of us went over to the H2GO Racers! I didn't do too well, I blame my start! Lost to Fletcher and Sarah, damn! :(
|The only photo I took, before the day started.
I headed home with Alex (my house is on the way) and everybody went to Chris's place. I changed into dry clothes, had a quick meal and rode over to Chris's place in Cecil Hills. Had dinner at his house (some sort of yummy tacos) and watched Airplane! It was absolutely hilarious and is so much more enjoyable watching it with everyone. His mum made dessert, which included a Paleo cake and Jelly, oh my god, so yum, so good, so delicious!
After the movie, I just had to go play Chris's piano, It's a Yamaha piano and they have always made my favourite pianos. I just love the noise. So both Chris and I played the piano, and then we eventually got around to singing with Fletcher. Everyone had left by this point, and Sarah looked like she was going to pass out, looked so tired! She did tell me off for not having a Harley though, hahaha. Chris drove Fletcher to Rooty Hill station, with Matt along for company. I left with them, I needed the directions out, he has the most confusing neighbourhood; seriously.
The day after, 18th, went to James Bond crag in Megalong Valley with Thanjon! I didn't really have anything in mind but I guess Thanjon wanted to crank on some 23s, it's been some time since we have tried things around our limit. Started off on what I thought was a 15 slab, it was ridiculously hard for a 15!! Thanjon went over and did the 18 next to it, which was meant to be 10 metres. It was not. (Warning, this is all climbing jargon)
Had to lower him down to get some extra equipment to finish the 25 metre route; turns out we read the guidebook wrong, I did the 18; and he had done a 19 even further around! Oops. Great way to start the day. By this time, it was starting to get hot! Better get on those 23s.
First up was Plenty O'Toole, my god; holds have broken off this because I couldn't do any moves over a 4 metre section. There were no holds. Ended up aiding to the top. Rested on the rope a bit that Thanjon decided to just swing around on the rope singing, "I came in like a wrecking ball!!!" Hahahaha.
After, I tried to do Oh James!, included a dyno at the start, and a few tough sequences. Mantled the ledge at the top, saw the anchors and woop, ticked it! Onsight 23, awesome! Thanjon isn't that great with dynos, and took a couple of goes to sort that move, and my beta at the top was apparently horrible too.
Then lastly, we went up a route called 'The Living Daylights'; I wish it was longer, such an amazing technical climb. Crux is at the top, and it's a powerful, technical son of a bitch. Thanjon had two shots but couldn't get it clean.
Called it a day, and the great thing about this crag is, you walk uphill in the morning; so it's a downhill stroll at the end of the day! (Unlike most other crags in the Blue Mountains). Stopped in Hazelbrook to get a kebab and a coke, met the same guy again; love him! This time, as he handed my kebab, my phone was on the table; he sneakily put it in his pocket and walked off. Sneaky, sneaky. My right hand was absolutely killing me from Plenty O'Toole, the beta we came up with involved using two nothing holds with our right hand.
|A grade 24 trad crack near by.
Spent the 19th, at home, had Red Rooster again; oh yeah. Wrapped some Christmas gifts as well!
Had work on the 20th, holy shit, it was such a hot day. Rode to work in my mesh jacket, no way was I riding in my leathers today. Spent most of the day out in the dock, was so hungry early on; had lunch first and went to the cafe to get a chicken schnitzel, salad, chips and gravy; delicious. Everyone except Mo came into work for our staff Christmas party! All staff members got a backpack from the company as a present, and also covered $35 each for whatever we did! We went to Dooley's in Lidcombe for dinner and afterwards; played snooker to finish off the night. Good night with good people! Best team ever!

By contacting me you agree to the following:
When purchasing sessions I now require all new clients to make a pre payment when scheduling a session. See Faqs page for more information.
I do my best to work with everyone but showing disrespect by plainly not showing up for your session is rude. I do my best to keep in touch with you to help avoid this situation. I have recently had clients ask me if I accept a pre-payment in order to block their time out for them. Since it came from a new client I thought best to go ahead and incorporate it into my guidelines.
Payment can be done through a credit card by calling it in to me. I never store this information. Payment is done via phone and I run card through while on phone with you. Receipt is given when you arrive at your appointment. This information will also be on my Faq's page.
* Depending upon your length of session will determine time for my last session of the day. Example: You want to schedule a 2 hr session in the evening. Appointment will be set at 7pm not 8pm. You want a 2.5 hr session appointment time will be 6:30pm not 8pm.

Animals have been used in circuses for hundreds of years. Government inspection reports show that there is ongoing mistreatment of animals in circuses, as well as failure to provide the basic minimal standards of care required by law.
Animals used in circuses spend most of their time in boxcars, cages, or wrapped up in chains. These animals come from different parts of the world, and have unique and specific needs for diet, health, veterinary care, social interaction, stimulation, exercise and movement, living environment, climate but all the animals are trained using methods of domination, and all live and travel together under the same conditions. The animals are trained to perform by using tools such as bull hookÃÂs, chains, and electric prods.
Animals in circuses are protected under the performing animalÃÂs act of 1925, which sets no standards for the welfare of the animals, but this legislation refers to the animalÃÂs owners, trainers and carers.
I do not believe that this is sufficient enough at all. I believe that rather than changing this law to aid the animals, circuses with performing animals should be banned worldwide, and the animals should be retrieved and placed in sanctuaries, and where possible, the animals should be rehabilitated and released into the wild.
