Coal Seam Gas to LNG in NSW ?
Posted by Big Gav in australia, china, coal seam gas
The Newcastle Herald has an article on a proposed coal seam gas export (LNG) terminal for Newcastle NSW - - $2.5bn tipped for Narrabri-Newcastle gas project.
THE backers of a $1 billion Newcastle export coal-seam gas terminal say the overall project will cost $2.5 billion if a feasibility study gives the go-ahead at the end of the year.
As well as the $1 billion terminal, Eastern Star Gas is proposing a $500 million pipeline from Narrabri to Newcastle, on a different route from the Hunter to Queensland pipeline promoted by a consortium of Hunter business people.
Eastern Star hopes to start exporting gas by 2014, with more details of the project emerging in a briefing yesterday to the stock exchange.
Chief commercial officer Roland Sleeman said Eastern Star was working with power station builder ERM Power on plans for a gas-fired power station near Wellington.
Under this plan, the gas would go from Narribri to Coolah and Wellington, then on to Bayswater and Newcastle.
Farm Online reports the opposition are making overtures to farmers about environmental damage caused by coal seam gas extraction (you can be certain they'll do absolutely nothing about it if they manage to get elected of course) - Federal opposition backs farmers over CSG.
FORMER federal resources minister Ian Macfarlane has weighed into the coal seam gas debate and backed landholder calls for an independent reassessment of the science surrounding mining impacts on groundwater reserves.
Mr Macfarlane, the shadow minister for resources and energy, said after visiting farms on the Darling Downs last week that there was a strong belief that the large Condamine Alluvium freshwater aquifer was directly connected to the Walloon Coal Measures, which are currently being dewatered and depressurised for Coal Seam gas production.
The Condamine Alluvium is the primary source of water for several Darling Downs townships and supports irrigation and grazing industries worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the Queensland economy every year.
Coal Seam Gas production involves removing water from coal seams to access trapped gases. Coal seam water, which can range from fresh to saline, is separated from the gas at the surface.
It was impossible to dewater the Walloon Coal Measures without causing detrimental impacts to the Condamine Alluvium, said Cecil Plains irrigator Stuart Armitage, one of the landholders who met with Mr Macfarlane last weekend.
"The pressurised Walloon Coal Measures is what keeps the Condamine Alluvium where it is," Mr Armitage said. "If that pressure wasn't there, the Condamine Alluvium would disappear into the Walloon."
Landholders have been calling for a moratorium on further CSG developments until the full range of impacts of CSG production on such large and important aquifers have been independently studied and verified.
The FT's "beyondbrics" blog has a post on unconventional gas in China - China needs foreign know-how for domestic gas.
A push by China to exploit its domestic energy resources, especially gas shale reserves, could lead to the country importing less gas from abroad in coming decades.
But the strategy will be anything but self-sufficient. It will depend crucially on engaging foreign companies to share costs, risks and technology.
A report from Wood Mackenzie this week predicted that unconventional gas, including shale gas, coal seam gas, and coal bed methane, could be a quarter of China's gas supply by 2030.
Chinese majors will lead the way. Sinopec aims to produce 2.5bn cubic meters of unconventional gas annually in 2015. Officials at CNPC, China's largest oil and gas producer, have said they hope to produce 500m cubic meters of shale gas by 2015 - up from no shale production today.
But experts say they will need foreign support and know-how to develop unconventional gas assets, including coal bed methane as well as shale gas.
Last month CNPC signed a memorandum with Encana, a Canadian firm known for its shale assets, that could lead to a shale gas joint venture. And PetroChina's and Shell's joint takeover of Arrow energy will give the Chinese company access to Arrow's coal seam gas expertise.
There's also an opening for foreign firms to engage in exploration for unconventionals in China. Several foreign companies are already active in the sector, though major commercial successes have so far been few.
Shell has a coal-bed methane project under exploration in Ordos, as well as a joint venture with PetroChina to develop shale gas in Sichuan province. BP is working with PetroChina to assess coal bed methane potential in western Xinjiang province. And Far East Energy, a Houston-based firm, has just signed a gas sales contract for a coal bed methane project in Shanxi province.

During my years in Delhi, Id was always very special for me. I used to be invited on Bakri Id for lunch with the Zafar family. Two thousand kilometres away from Goa, their place at Sheikh Sarai, Phase II was second home for me. Their two young children Salman and Simi would share their day's exploits with me. Often aunty and uncle used to give me wise counsel if I was experiencing a problem at work.
So, putting on a ceremonial kurta befitting the occasion, I used to go round to the Zafar household where everyone would be dressed in their finest. With their gracious hospitality they would ask me to sit at one end of the table while Mr. Zafar sat at the other end. Then aunty would serve her delicious meat curry, but not before a succulent plate of mutton shami kebabs was proferred. The aroma of the rice dish was most tantalizing. After the repast thick sevaiyan (kheer of vermicelli) would be carefully ladled in bowls.
Dinner on Id would be at my friend Anis Ahmad's place. We would arrive after negotiating the warren of lanes at Govindpuri. Anis would then spread thedastarkhana (ceremonial carpet) and serve the mutton biryani with the gladness of his heart. Anisbhai painstakingly did the maps for my book A Peace of India: Poems in Transit (2011). He spent several Sundays taking the trouble to come across to mybarsaati (roof top residence) to do the work. Since at that time I was between jobs he did it for free.
I met Professor Mohammad Aslam during my days working for Cambridge University Press at Daryaganj, Delhi in 1998. He took me to see the Hazratbal mosque at Srinagar. I felt like an honoured guest when I was waited upon with a samovar(copper kettle). This was at a traditional Kashmiri lunch at his place with the customary mutton Rogan Josh. I called him to wish him on Ramzan Id this year. He said he had already celebrated it the previous day as the Id ka chand (the moon) had been sighted in Srinagar by then.
When we returned to Goa, the kitchen cabinets at our new home were made by Bashir Ahmed. Last Id he called us over to his place and served us his delectable dinner with his family. This year on Id-ul-Fitr (Ramzan Id) he came across on his motorbike, his son, sitting pillion. They had brought for us his wife's preparation of mint-laced pulao, delicious chicken curry and sevaiyan. The tradition could not be broken.
I pressed into Bashir's hand a box of fresh ladoos we had specially bought fromPunjab and Sindh sweetmeat shop, Vasco. They had been flown in from Goregaon, Mumbai for Id. 'Aur teen ghar ko dena heh,' Bashir said as he rode off. Out of his modest means he gave in abundance. 'Bakri Id pe phir ayega' he said later when I called to thank him for the food.

All of the players that needed to have big years had impressive statistics, and Oregon looks as though it is built to contend for a Pac-12 and National Title in the coming years. That does not mean, however, that there are not a few positions that the Ducks must improve…

So British city centres all look the same? They are dominated by the same chains and brands. This could never be said of Newcastle's beautiful Grainger Market, the stores and cafes here are as diverse a bunch as anyone could wish. The Grainger Market is home to over 100 small businesses and self-employed independent traders.
Every second Saturday of the month there is an art and craft market in the Grainger Market Arcade offering a range of locally made produce on sale.
On Fridays many people, usually locals go to the weigh house to see how their weight is doing.

There's great satisfaction when the rewards for our efforts multiply. It's why I began drinking tea. What started out with sense of duty, trying to offset a cold or settle my stomach, or whatever those first few cups were for, has grown into a welcome, calming, routine part of my life.
I am a tea snob. I appreciate a really good cup of tea and am delighted to know where it was grown and the properties it carries. I get excited about it. Tea is much more than we give it credit for — tea preparation alone can lower your heart rate. Tea is unique. It allows you a chance to savor the healing properties of herbs that come from the earth so simply. More than a drink, it is an experience. Wisely selected, herbal teas promote balance and don't stress the body with toxic additives.
You just have to know yourself and know a little about tea to create a great match. You also have to be a good consumer. There are products out there with "tea" in the name that have no tea in the product. And some grocery-shelf teas may have enough added sugar to offset the health benefits. And if a tea is really low in price, you may want to avoid it. Price can be telling factor of how it was grown and harvested.

"Person-centered" progressive resistance exercise boosted multiple aspects of fatigue in women with fibromyalgia, Swedish researcher reported.
In the substudy in a randomized controlled trial of muscle strength, health status, and pain intensity in 130 fibromyalgia patients (ages 22-64), the mean Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20) improvements in the resistance group from baseline to post-treatment evaluation was 7.5% in general fatigue, 10.6% in physical fatigue, and 10.7% in mental fatigue, reported reported Anna Ericsson, PhD, of the University of Gothenburg in Goteborg, Sweden, and colleagues.
Working fewer hours and getting better sleep also improved fatigue in the 15-week multicenter study, they reported in Arthritis Research & Therapy.
"Significant improvements were found for change in the MFI-20 subscales for general fatigue, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue in the resistance exercise group in comparison with the active control group," they noted.
The person-centered approach emphasizes active patient involvement in planning the treatment to enhance the patient's ability to manage health problems, the authors explained.
Fibromyalgia affects approximately 1% to 3% of the general population, limiting work capacity and social life. While some research has suggested that physical exercise can lower fatigue levels, little is known about the specific effects of resistance exercise and in particular on fatigue.
Recruited through newspaper ads, the 130 patients were randomized to a resistance training group or an active control group receiving relaxation therapy. Those in the intervention arm worked out twice a week for 15 weeks in physiotherapy clinics, doing 50 minutes of resistance exercise targeting large muscle groups in the trunk and all four extremities. Initiated at 40% of one repetition maximum, training progressed to as much as 80% of one repetition maximum over 15 weeks.
More than 60% of participants increased loads up to 80% of one repetition maximum, and attendance was 71%. Only 7% of the resistance group dropped out because of increased pain, suggesting most women with fibromyalgia can tolerate tailored resistance exercise twice a week for over 3 months, the authors pointed out.
In other findings, the resistance exercise group improved in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire for fatigue from baseline to post-treatment assessment, with a mean difference of –8.6 (P=0.002). The resistance exercise group also improved in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) subscale for sleep quality, with a mean difference of –0.2 (P=0.047). Active controls, however, showed PSQI subscale improvement in sleep medication needs, with a mean difference of 0.3 (P=0.036).
Sleep efficiency was the strongest predictor of change in the MFI-20 subscale for general fatigue (beta = -0.54, P=0.031, R2=0.05). Poorer sleep efficiency at baseline predicted improvement in general fatigue.
At baseline, the difference between the resistance exercise group and the active control group on the PSQI subscale of sleep efficiency was a mean 1.9 versus a mean of 1.4 (P=0.027). With adjustment for PSQI sleep efficiency, the difference between groups in fatigue change was significant only for the MFI-20 subscale of physical fatigue. Here the intervention group showed a score difference of –1.7 versus 0.0 for controls (P=0.013), for an effect size of 0.33.
Working fewer hours per week (beta=0.84, P=0.005) also emerged as significant independent predictors of change in physical fatigue (R2=0.14). Fewer hours worked at baseline also predicted improvement in physical fatigue.
A study limitation was that positive expectations of exercise have been found to influence the effect of exercise on psychological outcomes. In addition, the recruitment advertising could have attracted participants with expectations of improvement and a positive attitude toward resistance exercise, which in turn might have impacted compliance and the magnitude of improvement.
The authors noted that "person-centered approach ... most likely contributed to the high attendance rate and low occurrence of adverse effects, as the approach enhances self-efficacy and sense of control in the participants."
They also explained that active relaxation was chosen for the control group as it was assumed that it also would improve well-being in these patients.
The study was supported by the Swedish Rheumatism Association, the Swedish Research Council, the Health and Medical Care Executive Board of Västra Götaland Region, ALF-LUA at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Stockholm and Östergötland County Councils, and AFA Insurance and Gothenburg Center for Person Centered Care.
Ericsson and co-authors disclosed no relevant relationships with industry.

Late in 2010, as I was writing Philanthropy and Social Investing: Blueprint 2011, I spent a lot of time talking about the importance of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United vs. The FEC. In this decision, the Court ruled that corporations have free speech rights like individuals and therefore can fund political broadcasts in election campaigns.
I still think this decision is a harbinger of great change for the social sector. It calls into question established practice for nonprofits regarding their advocacy activities, opens the floodgates to hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions that will flow through nonprofits to political campaigns, and shifts the nonprofit landscape as significantly as the rise of market-based solutions to social problems.
Our old mental models of three sectors—public, private, and independent—simply doesn't fit anymore.
But Citizens United is just one example of the shifting regulatory landscape for nonprofits in the United States. Here are some other issues to note:
- There will be new rules on donor disclosure and tax collection on gifts in reaction to Citizens United.
- The class action suit being considered by the State of Montana against Greg Mortensen and CAI raises whole new issues about donor power and control.
- We've had calls already for new nonprofit structures.
- Budget cutting recommendations that include complete revisions of the tax code and would do away with charitable deductions are getting real consideration in DC.
- B corporations and L3Cs have already changed the landscape for social good by revolutionizing the corporate code.
- Digital information and the open government movement present new opportunities for thinking about how nonprofits/foundations do and should share their information.
- Informal networks for change, such as CrisisCommons, present incredible opportunities for new governance mechanisms—at a very large scale.
- The role of crowds and the transparency movement raise new questions about how to hold organizations accountable. And to whom.
- Impact investing is gaining all kinds of traction. It brings a whole new set of regulatory actors, including the SEC, FINRA, and the SIPC into the social sector.
- The "sharing economy" is growing, and it is already actively considering new rules to guide businesses and enterprises that provide "access, not ownership."
When I put that all in one list I see a potential set of "new rules for a new social economy." Looking at what this means, and what a system might look like if we "started from scratch" will be the focus of a new project I'll begin working on in the fall at Stanford's Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society.
In the short term, I'll be talking about this, and I encourage you to join me and add your wisdom, during a webinar hosted by SSIR on Tuesday, May 17th, at 11:00am PST. The registration info is here.
I hope you'll join us. Then come back here, and we'll continue the conversation.

We just called and order the Muscle Regeneration oil and I just wanted to tell you we love it!! My husband has had severe back pain for years and after using this oil he feels like he is more mobile and you just need a little bit so it should last for quite some time. I have had upper back, elbow and wrist pain for awhile as well and I just used a little and the pain was gone in about 5 minutes! Love it!
I purchased a 15mL bottle of Beautiful Repair Serum and used it every morning and evening after my usual cleansing routine. I noticed a difference immediately. My skin felt smoother and fine lines were less noticeable. When the bottle ran dry I didn't notice anything for the first couple of days, but by the end of the week I resolved to never run out again. I've been using Beautiful Repair for over three years and it keeps my skin supple, smooth, and with even tone. I'll be 60 this year, and people tell me I look like I'm in my 40s. Even though I live in southern CA and spend quite a lot of time in the sun I don't have any brown 'age spots' and minimal wrinkles.
I feel these are like "little drops of sunshine," giving me a refreshing kick after a good meal. I bought these at a show, looking to lose a few pounds. Ginger said that I'd probably shed 3 - 4 pounds in as many days. And she was right! I lost weight like magic and feel energetically lighter as well. Thank you for this beautiful, effective, all-natural goodness!

On the third year of his kingdom, King Ahashverosh threw a party (=mishte, a drinking party). Ahashverosh party lasted for 187 days. His empire was so big that he had to set different times to properly entertain all his guests. Each week Ahashverosh would honor guests from different regions of his Empire (me'am lo'ez). The last seven days were dedicated to the people of Shushan, those who live close to his palace.
Why did Ahashverosh throw such a party? Some speculate that it was done to celebrate his conquest of Egypt or his victory over the Babylonians, who tried to rebel against him. The Megila is very explicit about the inner psychological motives of Ahashverosh to throw the biggest party ever: behar-oto, (1:4) "to display the wealth of his royal glory and the magnificence of his greatness". In other words: to show off. Ahashverosh was not the first, for sure not the last, rich or powerful man who throws a lavish party to show-off his wealth. Usually this is done to compensate for one's low self-esteem, or other inferiority complexes. In the case of Ahashverosh it is ver clear that the man was terribly insecure, hesitant and doubtful (1:15, 7:7 and many others).
In any case, the Megila also shows the unlimited nature of ostentation. The text uses this term "lehar-ot", (to display, to show off) one more time in 1:11. On the very last day of the 187 days party, Ahashverosh "merry with wine" summoned up his wife. She had to be escorted to his presence naked, dressed only with her crown "to show the commoners and the officers her beauty".
The message is loud, clear and horrendous: Look at this rich but miserable man, who cannot control his urge to show-off. Once he was done exhibiting all his riches, he found one more thing to show-off: his trophy wife, Queen Vashty!
Ostentation is self destructive. And expectedly, the end of the party is tragic. Vashty was executed for refusing to follow the Royal order. And Ahashverosh, who invested so much in a party meant to boost his ego, ended up disgraced and humiliated by all (1:18).

So I've been doing a lot of ab exercises and a lot of chest and arm exercises to get ready for golf. I've also done a few leg exercises as well which along with my ab exercises have seemed to help with my balance and my swing. I was wondering if anybody could give me any tips on things that could help my golf game workout wise
Core back legs and shoulders...
Strengthen your rotator cuff
I played college golf until illness took me out. I am working with a trainer 2x a week now to get resdy for golf this spring. Core is huge. Also, for golf you want to have a lot of flexibility. Increase ROM, then the larger your swing arch, and the further your shoulder turn, you create more torque and a greater moment of inertia once you make your transition, leading to faster club head speeds and longer drives. Having stability in your core allows you to maintain the correct spine angle through impact, in order to produce a lag. Static stretching with a partner is great for flexibility, or you can do it on your own. Doing workouts with your weight more on your toes and balls of your feet helps with ballance. Also, try doing some workouts while at the address position. Grab a MB, take your stance as if you're holding a club, then bring the medicine ball back and through, throwing it down on the ground or against a wall. Try to do as much with your dominant hand as you do with the other. Take swings right handed and then left handed. Muscular balance is key to a good golf swing. You can search exercises by muscle group- core, back, shoulders, wrist extensors, glutes, gastrocnemius, hamstrings. Or by equipment, Medicine Ball, Stability Ball and resistance bands provide a plethora of golf specific exercises. Hope this helps!

This post in just to let you know that i will be taking a small break from my blog over the next few months to concentrate on finishing my college work. Its taking up a fair bit of my time and at the moment I feel the need to work on my course as much as possible to get the best result I can, especially since its costing me nearly £1000 to do.
I should hopefully be back post April and then i can give this blog some much needed TLC and more regular posting.
Until then my friends,

To keep goggles from fogging up, simply rub a small drop of baby shampoo or saliva onto the lenses. After evenly distributing the solution, give the goggles a quick rinse, and enjoy perfectly clear lenses.
- Apply the solution
Apply a small amount of baby shampoo or saliva to the inner surface of both lenses. If you apply the substance to the outside of lenses, this technique will be ineffective.
- Distribute the solution
Using your fingers, evenly distribute the solution across the entire surface of the lens.
- Rinse the goggles
Once the solution has been applied to the lens surface, lightly rinse the goggles with water to remove excess solution.

Dir: Tim Burton
DoP: Victor J. Kemper
Year: 1985
Things To Consider
- When considering Pee Wee's Big Adventure in term's of Burton's career it's important to note that Burton was working for hire here at the beginning of his career. Pee Wee Herman was an established entity, with an established voice and aesthetic, it would be Burton's job to translate that voice to the big screen.
- Despite directing for hire, there are traces of what Burton would become throughout the film. He is really allowed to indulge his own visual preoccupations in the fantasy sequences, using overly heightened theatrical lighting and colour, it is during these scenes we are seeing the Burton who would go on to make Beetlejuice.
- Burton's career is defined by a fascination with oddballs and people who don't fit into society, and he has an ability to match his style to that of his characters, his Batman is almost melodramatic, Beetlejuice self aware, and here his camera captures the joy and wonder of Pee Wee.

Kolkata: He played a jailbird in many of his films and on saturday, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, in the company of Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma watched a dance drama by prisoners at the inauguration of the 18th Kolkata International Film Festival here Saturday.
Bachchan, the chief guest at the festival, enjoyed the eight-minute dance drama, an excerpt from Rabindranath Tagore`s 'Valmiki Pratibha' directed by dancer and choreographer Alakananda Roy.
The dance drama at the Netaji Indoor Stadium was the inspirational story of the dacoit Ratnakar and his eventual transformation into a `valmiki` (sage).
The group of 48 dancers are inmates of the city correctional homes.
"Thank you all for appreciating the artists in them (prisoners). With your love and their hard work they can ignite the artists in them," Roy said.
"Let us give them a second chance, if not a third. Let`s not push them aside, rather forgive their follies and inspire and wish them for a new beginning," added Roy.

PU steps up security for elections
With a day or two left for the formal announcement of the date of election to the Panjab University Student Council, the university authorities have stepped up security on the campus.chandigarh Updated: Aug 28, 2013 00:41 IST
With a day or two left for the formal announcement of the date of election to the Panjab University Student Council, the university authorities have stepped up security on the campus.
Security cameras have been installed, faculty members have been deputed to keep a watch on the activities of the students and their leaders and top officials have been making surprise visits to check the security apparatus. The new initiative from the varsity this time around is that let the varsity deal with students and police be asked to assist when things go wrong.
"All the major points, student centre and key intersections have been covered with cameras. Our security officers have been given video cameras for live recording of the events," said Navdeep Goyal, student welfare dean, Panjab University. He also said that a total of 35 faculty members including the nine hostel warders have been put on job to keep a watch on students' activities.
"This time police will form tier-2 of the security cordon. The varsity guards will be in front. The idea is to let the students feel the responsibility. They wanted lesser police interference," added Goyal.
There are as many as 300 guards with the university administration who are manning gates and other sensitive locations round the clock. "We have nearly 69 cameras installed on the campus. Eight more have been bought recently and 38 have been hired from the local vendors. The cameras installed at the gates have night vision facility," said Anil Monga, chief security officer, PU.
The administration has also given a video camera to the security unit to get all the important events recorded so that there is no dispute later on.
"Most of the departments have been provided with entry stickers and now onwards, entry to the campus will be regulated. The vehicles would be thoroughly checked," added Monga.
Security staff---300
Total cameras---116 (hired 38)
With night vision--- 8 approx
Faculty staff on duty---- 35
Election date has been fixed for September 4. The university officials had a bitter taste of 'laziness' of government functioning but finally got the election date cleared from the home department. A number of officials were camping at the home secretary office throughout the day and finally got the nod at around 8.30 pm following which a formal announcement was made. Sources, said after the letter was forwarded to the home department earlier this month, it could not be followed up which resulted in delay.

When you read that name, you most likely think of ENDER'S GAME
and the subsequent novels in the series.
You know me:
I write alternate historical fantasy with a slight poetic flair ...
So it is no surprise that I am quite delighted to have discovered the ALVIN MAKER series
through the stellar audiobook productions of them.
It is an unforgettable story about young Alvin Maker:
the seventh son of a seventh son.
Born into an alternative frontier America where life is hard and folk magic is real,
Alvin is gifted with the Power.
He must learn to use his gift wisely.
But dark forces are arrayed against Alvin, and only a young girl with second sight can protect him.
"A tribute to the art of storytelling. . . highly recommended."
―Library Journal
"Card has uncovered a rich vein of folklore and magic here, to which his assured handling of old time religion
and manifest love of children is admirably suited: an appealing and intriguing effort."
―Kirkus Reviews
"A beguiling book. . . robust but reflective blend of folktale, history, parable and personal testimony, pioneer narrative.
The series promises to be a story of deep delight."
―Publishers Weekly
Do yourself a favor and try this series. You won't be disappointed.

Remember that great Stones' ballad you heard on your first date with your first love? Well, despite music's importance to our lives, very little is known about the memories and emotions that are often evoked when hearing a piece of music from our past. Does music have a more powerful effect on memory than other influences, like images, words, or smells?
A research team led by Petr Janata of UC Davis took an important first step in understanding how music can affect memory by examining the content of music-evoked autobiographical memories (MEAMs) using a novel approach for selecting stimuli from a large corpus of popular music, in both laboratory and online settings.
Janata specializes in the relationship between music, emotion, and memory by studying music-evoked autobiographical memories, using a variety of tools including electrophysiological recordings, functional brain imaging, behavioral measures, and computational modeling.
As Janata explained in an earlier studies while a researcher at Dartmouth's Center for Cognitive Neuroscience: "This region in the front of the brain where we mapped musical activity is important for a number of functions, like assimilating information that is important to one's self, or mediating interactions between emotional and non-emotional information. Our results provide a stronger foundation for explaining the link between music, emotion and the brain." The rostromedial prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain now believed to process and track music iis also active during reasoning and memory retrieval. Put the two functions together and it's no wonder "music" and "memory" harmonize so well.
The research team collected over 1,500 "preview" clips from the iTunes Music Store's listing of the top 100 pop and R&B songs from each year over the past couple decades. The key was to have a sampling of the songs college students were most likely to have heard while they were growing up. They recruited 329 students to listen to the clips. Each student heard 30 songs randomly selected from the most popular songs that came out when they were between the ages of 7 and 19.
Each song was rated for familiarity and like/dislike, and then the students were asked if the song evoked any memories for them. They indicated what emotions they associated with the song, whether the memories were about person, place, or event, and what words they associated with the memory. Finally, for each memory, they were allowed to type in a description of what they recalled.
On average, the students recognized about half of the songs. As the songs increased in familiarity, so did the strength of the autobiographical memories associated with the songs. Very familiar songs were more likely than not to be associated with a memory. Overall, about 30 percent of the songs elicited memories.
The proportion of songs presented to memories elicited was roughly constant throughout the study period — a song that came out when you were seven was just as likely to elicit a memory as a song that came out when you were seventeen.
While songs that were rated as "pleasing" were more likely to evoke memories than "not pleasing" songs, there was no consistent pattern as to which songs were pleasing — it seems to come down to personal preference: songs you like are more likely to be associated with memories. But do the preferred songs evoke the memories, or do we like the songs because we associate them with memories? Since this is only a correlation, this study can't tell us.
As Janata's point out, it would be very interesting to compare the types of memories evoked by music to memories from other sources, like pictures or words. A large number of the memories in this study were about dances or cars — places where people are likely to be listening to music. Maybe memories associated with pictures viewed in a museum on a first date would be different.

Has it really been two full weeks since I last posted? It doesn't feel like it. I've been working a lot and been struggling with consistent knee pain, I hurt my knee a few years ago and it has not been the same since. It has been absolutely horrendous for the last few weeks. Today especially I've been limping around all day, it feels like there is fluid all around my knee cap and it limits my mobility. I really hope it goes away soon, regular pain reliever is not helping at all. My benefits don't kick in till mid June and I don't want to pay out of pocket to go to a Doctor - I may have to but I don't want to. It's been making me feel very lethargic and irritable :(
Anyway, enough complaining, there has been some shopping to report so I have to share. I'm very into stripes lately, I got a striped shirt and a striped tunic I wore with leggings as a dress the one day. I have pictures, still no outfits of the day, I sowwie! I'm a dirty promise breaker, will I haven't really put a deadline on the promise it just has not happened... yet. Onto the show:
|Got this cute owl ring for something like $8. The skeleton pajama pants in the background I got as well, they are a bit ridiculous but made of very comfortable material and were only $1.99.
|One of the striped shirts I mentioned, I've worn about 4 times already, it is so comfy. New owl necklace. I like its little orange candy like eyes.
|Dessert from Bertucci's two weekends ago. My boyfriend got the chocolate mousse in the back and I got the chocolate hazelnut crostata- go get one! Good enough to chop a limb off for (maybe not, but dayum good. Dayumm good? YES. DAMN good).
At the top are some other new things, the perfume is Pink Sugar by Aquolina, which is well known and rightly so because my goats does it smell good! I absolutely love it. I love how I can smell it on me all day. It was a present from my Mom for my upcoming birthday. The Bath and Body Works goodies are absolutely to die for hand soaps in fresh picked cherry and fresh picked strawberry, they smell heavenly. I found a leather jacket from Target for $39.99, well its fake leather, I haven't even checked the label to see what the material it is - it's just cute. I'm happy to report that I tried on the 3x and it was way too big (you can never quite tell with jackets), the 2x fit but was a bit big (ended up buying the 2x but not sure if I should have), and when I showed my boyfriend he said "shoulda bought the 14/16, it looks too big". I also bought from "Tarjay" some black linen pants which are so damn comfortable (also had to go down a size, woohoo), and a gray cardigan.
So the Pinkberry I was telling you about - I went - I was taken back by the flavor of the original for about um 2 seconds and then nom, nom, nom set in. I've been twice already, seriously considering going today but it's a Friday and everyone and their cousin will be in that vicinity. Bah, crowds. The boyfriend was not a fan of Pinkberry, he turned his nose up after taking a sample.
|Original flavor with raspberries, almonds, and chocolate crisps.
I'm a bit boring this entry, I've been distracted as I said by zi pain ("zi plane?" no, zi pain), work, and work annoyances. This weekend should be good (hopey pope hope it's good), I'm going to a wine tasting with my friend, Summer tomorrow. Then on Sunday we are going exploring with our friends Laurie, Jason, Lisa, Troy, and of course my Monkey.
|Thai iced tea
|Basil wrap. One of my favorite meals ever. Had this on Tuesday or was it Monday.

Thanks for the kind words, went to a doctor today for my knee and she gave me some pills and recommendations so hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.
I couldn't agree more, I love owls. I was doing a little "research" (I mean googling owls) and I didn't know that many cultures have seen the owls as a bad omen and bringers of evil. Neat site about owl mythology, http://www.owlpages.com/articles.php?section=Owl+Mythology&title=World.
Haha, you're welcome. I'm a dessert fanatic, I cannot help myself.

She's Country
This is a page I did for a challenge over at Swirlydoos. It is the No Paper Challenge. We couldn't use any patterned paper. I titled it She's Country because my daughter loves that song by Jason Aldean, and well, I just love Jason LOL!
I had a LOT of fun with this page. First, I have to give props to the Photoshop Wonder Twins over at Swirlydoos, Lisa G. and Lisa N. Yah, I know a lot of Lisa'a on this blog. That's cuz Lisa's ROCK! LOL Anyway, I'm a beginner with PS and I worked with this photo of my DD. I did a pencil sketch and then couldn't figure out how to get some other effects to work so I uploaded it to the forum. Between the two of them and the ideas bouncing all over the place, this is what Lisa G. ended up with. The other one from Lisa N is equally as gorgeous and I am going to have to scrap them both. BTW, click here to go to Lisa G's blog, and here to go to Lisa N's blog (she has some great PS tutorials).
Ok, back to the page. As I mentioned this was a no paper challenge. So, the first thing I did was break out my distress inks and a white piece of card stock. I used Bundled Sage and Stormy Sky for the page. Then I took one of my favorite stamps from Donna Salazar and stamped it along the bottom in two different colors.
Next, I used my Faux Metal technique (click here to go to the tut). This time I used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder and 2 different paint dabbers. I went over the whole thing using brown and then with a paper towel lightly went over the raised areas with some green. I LOVE the way this looks IRL. I love it so much that I had a hard time deciding whether or not I wanted my entire page made out of this or only a part. Then I edged it with some Prima Lace I had in my stash from a past kit.
here to go there). I actually had to redo this entire frame. I wanted there to be a contrast between the frame and the photo but boy-oh-boy was it just awful! I had to flip it over and just use Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I added the little pearls for some interest because I was afraid to try anything else and it looked blah otherwise LOL.
The flourish is a Prima Say It with Pearls that I cut into two pieces and all of the flowers are Prima as well. The leaves are cut using an svg file. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look!!!!

The word Bonsai means 'tree in a tray' in Japanese.
Keeping the root environment healthy is essential when cultivating bonsai trees, and that means re-potting when the roots become overcrowded or the plant is still in the early stages of growth.
When choosing the media you should use the tree species as a guide and use a soil composition which replicates that in which it would grow in its natural habitat. Generally though a mix of equal parts loam, peat and sand would be fine. Alternatively, you can buy proprietary bonsai composts which will suit most species.
My bonsai is a Chinese Elm which has been in my family for nearly 20 years (no pressure to keep it healthy!). It has been a while since I re-potted it last, the roots are in need of trimming and the soil is depleted. Here I explain the simple process of re-potting it.
Soak the whole rootball until saturated.
Tease out the old soil from the roots.
Trim any excessively long roots.
Place a layer of fresh compost back in the tray before replacing the tree and gently dibbing in the fresh compost around the roots making sure there are no air pockets.
Water well with a rose.

North Vancouver MLA defends HST cut
...'The changes are a last-ditch effort to sway public opinion ahead of the HST referendum, and, according to North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite, also an acknowledgement the tax added "unforeseen extra costs" for families by shifting the tax burden from business to consumers.
"That's why it was a rebalancing of the priorities," she said when asked about the tax shift back to business. "With the premier coming in and wanting to make sure everything we do benefits families . . . obviously she wanted to intervene and fix it."...

So the Libs propose a 10% sales tax by 2014 and the other folks would like us to keep a 12% sales tax.
The reduction in the HST is transfered to corporate tax to make up the difference.
Gee. Do I want to pay more tax or less tax....let me see.....

The "other folks" want the sometimes 12% tax back. Not all items had 12%. There were a siginifigant amount of PST excemptions for basic items; bicycles and accessories, strata fees for owners (hence rent increases), pre-packaged foods, non-prescriptions drugs, cable, phone, internet, haircuts etc. etc.,...
In my letter to the editor to the NSNews I suggested the HST be trimmed to a this 10% level as an offset (just mentioning, not tooting my horn).
- Saturday, May 28, 2011 10:51:00 am
So the anti HST crowd are getting the 10% they've been wanting, but now that they have they still aren't happy.
- Saturday, May 28, 2011 12:24:00 pm
The principle of the HST is good for business--unfortunately, they don't appear to be passing on their savings, and until one major business takes the bold step of actually reducing prices, no one else is going to either - it's just too tempting to hang on to all this found money.
In practice, the HST is good for government because they are raking in all kinds of extra dough, and that is what is pi**ing people off. If the government can keep the same exemptions as before, or something reasonably close, people will have no problem with what is in effect a new way of collecting the old tax. I participated in a telephone town hall where people complained bitterly about the tax on formerly exempt purchases and I also completed the questionnaire at hstinbc.com however I don't think the tweaking that was announced last week goes far enough. I'm not sure that they've addressed those concerns appropriately or adequately.
- Sunday, May 29, 2011 11:31:00 am
As usual the simple concept of 1 + 1=2 escapes the majority.
The ranters are very clear that they want better:
universities (no tuition increases)
bridges (no tolls)
environmental protection
medical care etc,etc,etc
It has to be paid for. All of the above have been degrading for years.
So the moral of the story is let's have a general acceptance of lower provincial service levels (not a chance) or pay the taxes that support the levels that the majority demand.
There's no free ride.

None of the HST money goes to the list of services you provided. The HST is simply a shift of tax from business to you and me joe/jane taxpayer.
I for one don't expect services to be provided if the money is not there. At the same time I don't mind paying taxes when there is a good return for the value of taxes paid. I'm an advocate for cost efficiencies. Maybe services do need to be reduced for a time rather than continually raising taxes.
Couldn't agree more with Anon 11:31AM; Businesses will never drop their prices with the HST. They will pocket the difference.
- Sunday, May 29, 2011 10:24:00 pm
I'd be curious to know how the 10% HST compares to the old GST and PST in actual numbers, especially as it relates to those few items that were exempt from the PST. The old tax came to 12%, with a few things lower due to the PST exemption. Now it's 10% right across the board. To me, that seems a better deal, as I don't recall too many of my purchases in the past being PST exempt, when compared to those items that are presently HST exempt. Does anyone know of any studies that would show this comparison? My impression is that the 10% is better for me in the long run.
John, what makes you think that the HST won't go to those things listed by the previous poster? Does it not go to general revenues to be spent on infrastructure, among other things? Which taxes do those services get funded from? Please explain.
- Monday, May 30, 2011 8:42:00 am
John is in error. HST revenue goes to general revenue which helps fund the items on the list.
- Monday, May 30, 2011 10:47:00 pm
So how can we conclude that the government is gouging with a 10% HST?
Let's compare it to the HST in other Canadian provinces for a real life example:
Ontario 13%
Newfoundland 13%
Nova Scotia 15%
New Brunswick 13%
Quebec 13.5%
Are we spoiled whiners, or what?!

The HST applies to new Real Estate over $535,000.00. When the average price is $725,000.oo the differential of $190,000.00 is subject to 12% HST or equivalent of $22,800.00 additional property tax added onto the property transfer tax. So therefore a large number of young families with single income earner and children, can NO Longer "qualify" for a mortgage of $747,800.00 ( 725,000.00 + $22,800.00) before the Property Transfer tax of 1% on part 1 and 2% on part 2. This is in addition to the $325.00 of additional HST that small families are Over Charged as announced by the so-called Independant Panel (Ha, Ha, "that is a funny Title" ). With a new minimum wages increase up to about $10.50 or about this amount, small to medium business can Not Lower the price of Goods and Service. Thus the promise of Revenue Neutral only is true if all the small business lose money and close down permanently. What Accounting Degree did the Finance Minister obtain in order to qualify for the job.

The BC Property Transfer Tax is 1% on the first $200,000.00 of $725,000.00 new home or equivalent of $2000.00; this is part 1. the same part 2 tax is 2% of the remainer of $525,000.000 or equivalent of $10,500.00 on the total market value of $725,000.00 before the HST is added to the purchase price of the property.
Therefore the added cost is as follows: HST = $22,800.00 ; BC Property Transfer Tax = $12,500.00; Grand Total of $35,300.00 on top of the $725,000.00 purchase price which equals $760,300.00. So Fight the HST or it will fight you for 40 years by means of a mortgage debt.

When the movie and mining industry receives provincial tax credits, federal capital cost allowance, HST rebates, and capital gains tax exemption over $500,000.00, I honestly wonder if the British Columbian small business person will survive the economic recession because of the inequality and neglect that the B C Liberal Government subject us to, in exchange for the favouritism and pampering that the previous mention industry receives from Liberal Government. The "air" smells of "Corporate Welfare" in the most obvious sense.
- Tuesday, June 07, 2011 1:06:00 am
HST is on the purchase of new homes. So it appears likely that older used homes will be taxed next also , as soon as the Referundum No side uses deception to win their case.
Older home sales is a huge revenue source potential for the BC Liberal Finance Minister.
Many Young families do no have any capability to own a home if HST remains. Others will be penalized.
- Wednesday, June 15, 2011 7:38:00 pm
Gary, what young family with a single income is going to be affording a $725,000 dollar house?! I suspect the vast majority will be looking at homes that are unaffected by the addition of HST.
As for the comments about corporate welfare to the film, mining and forestry (you missed this one, so thought I'd add it) industries, is the Liberal government the only one who provided tax breaks to these industries? Did the NDP not provide any incentives for these businesses to operate in this province?

This tax shift is another welcome development for conveyancing companies to maximize the incentives being granted for building and construction as well as easing the process of property transfers.

So I wanted to get involved," Sutton said. Sutton was voted into his position at the caucus in January as a pledged delegate for Hillary Clinton.

Aha! I got to go to Twickenham Stadium to watch some rugby matches on the weekend. I had two sets of tickets for the Worlds 7, and to go both the Saturday games and to the Sunday one (thanks to Groupon UK!), but I only ended up going to the Saturday one as I was tired... I gave the Sunday tickets for Miss Pinky to use and dispose of... Don't know if she used it!
Twickenham Stadium is not hard to get to. It's still in the London zone (zone 6 area) so you can still use your oyster and bus pass!! (^_^)b Just get the SW Train services however it's always packed when there's a rugby game (and during rush hour!), so get there as early as possible!!
Here's some pictures of the outside and the inside...

Lots of people dressed up... I don't understand the concept of dressing up during a rugby game. I guess it's just to have fun! (I would be completely embarrassed if I had to do that!)...
|People dressed up in front of us
|More men dressed up
During half time there was a bit going on... the cheerleaders went by....

And they were playing a game...
|Half time game
After half time we left! We were told by Mr Fly who I haven't seen for over a year and a half, that there was a Korean Festival in Kingston. So Miss Pinky and I hopped on the bus and went to Kingston!!
It was raining when we got there. So we went to find Mr Fly... Then it was back to the Korean Festival when it stopped raining, and to find some food (because I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch!)... Huuuuungry!!
|At the Korean Festival!
|It rained :(
|Lots of people looking for shelter
|Concert band playing
It took a long while for some of the food to come out as they had just run out!! :( So we waited and took some pictures.
|The food area... had to wait for food!!
|Some shopping stands
|Awwww. Cute doggies!!
|More performing going on
Finally we had food!!
|Ebi prawns
|Miss Pinky's fried rice and bbq beef
|I got loads of bbq beef!!!
|Big serving of yakisoba noodles :D
|I invaded their tent :D ... not relly!
Then it was back to Mr Fly's usual pub, The Cocoanut... Miss Pinky played backgammon with him and his father. (I hope Mr Picky isn't jealous that he didn't get to join us, heheh)...
|Miss Pinky and Mr Fly's father playing backgammon
And we also stayed for Thai food!! I haven't had Kai's Thai food for more than a year!!!!! It's still as good :)
|O! Thai food!! Authentic stuff!! :)
It was finally time to go home, and I enjoyed my entire day out and all the food I ate!

Title: Awake at Dawn by C.C. HunterRelease Date: Oct. 11, 2011
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Pages: 400 pages
Genre: Paranormal
Source: Publisher
Goodreads Summary: Now that she's settled in at Shadow Falls Camp, Kylie Galen's determined to discover the extent of her supernatural abilities. But with a ghost insisting someone Kylie loves is about die, a rogue vampire on a murdering rampage, and her sixth sense telling her someone is watching her, Kylie's quest for answers is quickly put on hold.There are many YA books out there about boarding schools for paranormals but this Shadow Falls series is my favorite. Not only are these books very character driven (which I love) but the plot is solid as well.
To make matters worse, just when she's about to give her heart to Derek, a half-fairy, he starts pulling away. When Lucas, a werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past, returns, Kylie's feels more conflicted than ever. Her weekend with her mom should have been the just the break Kylie needs, but it turns out to be her breaking point. Someone from the dark side of the supernatural world has plans for Kylie--and it'll take all her resources to get back to Shadow Falls alive...
Awake at Dawn is the perfect follow-up to Born at Midnight. The book picks up shortly after where Born at Midnight ended with Kylie at Shadow Falls Camp trying to figure out what kind of paranormal she is and working through the other drama that surrounds her life.
This book is all about relationships: Kylie's relationships with her parents, with her friends Della, Miranda and Holiday and of course, with the two love interest, Derek and Lucas. Kylie is such a likable character. Her issues are legitimate and I never felt that she was being whiny or that the angst was overdone. While I don't usually like love triangles, Ms. Hunter does this one well and even I could not choose between the boys, they are just so great. It also helps that the romance was not the book's main plot which centers firmly on Kylie finding out who and what she really is. While the relationships and characters are awesome, I love the paranormal aspects of the book as well.
If you like paranormal YA fiction, you will love this series, it's just so good. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, Taken at Dusk, which comes out in April 2012.
Content: Kissing, sexual situations and violence. There are some steamy scenes in this book that may be more appropriate for more mature teens.
My Rating: Really Good!

I saw a nurse talking heatedly with two patients down the hallway at the hospital where I serve as a chaplain. Suddenly, she saw me in my collar and made a beeline towards me. We had sat once before and talked about her life and her challenges. She told me I wasn't like the priests when she was growing up—I was easy to talk to. She used to be a semi-driver, sort of a rough and tumble lady, but also very sweet. Now she was walking towards me scowling. As she approached she smiled and playfully punched in me the arm like we were old pals.
She asked me briskly, "Two things you're never supposed to talk about, right?" It took me a second to guess what she was talking about. "Oh, yeah," I said, "religion and politics." "Yeah," she said, "Some people just don't get it!" As she walked away, I replied, "But, maybe those are the two things that we should always talk about."
Sometimes hyperbole is the only way to get through to people. Though we should never say never and always avoid always, they may sometimes be necessary.
I saw an excellent movie on Wednesday called "Away From Her," which was about a couple dealing with the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Several times in the movie, the lament from the woman with Alzheimer's was her regret over the superficiality of so much of her life and interactions with others. When the end is in view, when death or loss of self is approaching, many begin to reflect on the meaning of their lives.
Though we are created by God to enjoy creation and the lives we have been given, we are also uniquely created for Religion and Politics–the really important work of being alive.
Religion might be defined simply as the process and practice of our relationship to Divine Mystery, to the ever-present spiritual reality that gives our lives deeper meaning. Politics, from the Greek word politikos, which means of, for, or relating to citizens, is the process of making decisions applying to all members of a given group. Politics is the process and practice of how we relate to each other as a society. Without relationships, life would not be worth living—we would cease to be.
So, what two more important things in life can there be but how we relate to God and how we relate to each other. Religion and politics are what make life meaningful, and if we try to pass through life superficially, trying just to be happy, eventually we will realize just how meaningless our lives have been. And then it will be too late.

With changing trends in eating habits and lifestyle of people, it is no shock that eat-outs and restaurants are always working to fill your want for delicious food. But how safe is the kitchen where such food is prepared? Is it regularly cleaned? Commercial restaurants are now compulsorily required to adhere to certain standards to maintain a hygienic kitchen. This is where canopy cleaning plays an integral part. The commercial kitchen must be kept rid of grease to prevent fires and to make the workplace hazard-free. Since restaurants, businesses and the lives of those working in the kitchen are at stake; such cleaning measures cannot be disregarded. Reasons why canopy cleaning and ductwork cleaning are important: Canopies and exhaust fans free of grease sediments minimize fire risks Provides for a healthier working environment for the staff Results in odor removal and upgrades ventilation. Curtails insurance premiums. Ensures safety and efficiency of kitchen equipment to prevent minor accidents and mishaps in the kitchen. In extreme cases, even vermin can be attracted in tricky places of the kitchen. Cleaning helps to get rid of such insects. Moreover, it saves energy and keeps utility bills to a minimum. Another benefit is the long lifetime of the ventilation system.
In addition to canopies, supplementary effort must be taken to a safer commercial kitchen. This includes- filter exchange services, Premium quality filters, expensive and an all-inclusive cleaning of the kitchen, equipment like refrigerators, oven and hotplates to be routinely cleaned and exhaust fans to be cleaned every six months. Many kitchen-cleaning companies carry out such services. These usually include Extraction duct cleaning, Appliance cleaning, Air duct cleaning, Vent and grill cleaning, Structural cleaning- ceilings, walls and floors, Decarburizing filters, Kitchen deep cleaning. A few tips to keep in mind when hiring a cleaning services company for your kitchen: Ensure the company submits a detailed and comprehensive report on the kitchen's condition before and after completion of work. A certificate of compliance before and after photographs of the kitchen.The company must be licensed and certified by the appropriate government agency and abide by quality benchmarks. Hence, kitchen cleaning should not be neglected as it has many downsides to it. The owner must be vigilant and have a cleaning routine, as it in the best interest of all the parties. Are you hunting about high level cleaning companies in Cumbria? Check out the earlier outlined website.
Kitchen cleaning in commercial restaurants has been made mandatory by the government, and an owner must not evade it. A commercial kitchen is a high-pressure environment where even with the efficient staff it's difficult to keep everything thoroughly clean especially when there are some tasks, like high-level cleaning, that catering staff can't-do because of Health and Safety rules. A kitchen cleaning regime needs to get to all those hard-to-reach areas to remove grime, such as around the feet of preparation tables, areas under sinks and in between cookers. Peace of mind for anyone running a food outlet, restaurant, school or large commercial kitchen comes from a complete kitchen deep cleaning at least once a year. Good food hygiene is crucial to ensure that the food for sale is safe. It helps protect customers and the reputation of the business, and, of course, observing good hygiene is necessary to obey the law. Harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning can spread very quickly. Food poisoning can be a serious illness, especially among the very young, the ancient and ill people, who are particularly at risk and for whom it can be fatal.

Trump visits African American history museum
President Donald Trump became the second president to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture Tuesday. The president toured the museum's exhibits with a group that included Dr. Ben Carson and Carson's wife, Candy, as well as the president's daughter Ivanka, aide Omarosa Manigault and museum staff.
The president said of the museum: "Honestly, it's fantastic."
"This museum is a beautiful tribute to so many American heroes," he said after his tour. "This tour was a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight biogrty and inteolenace in all its ugly forms."
The museum includes an exhibit dedicated to Carson's rise from poverty to prominent pediatric neurosurgeon, which the group stopped to admire and pose for photos.
Carson was one of Trump's rivals in the GOP primary and is the president's pick to serve as the next secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Trump's wife Melania Trump visited the museum last week with Sara Netanyahu.

Jodi and her husband raised their 3 boys just down the road from Pleasant Home in the house her father grew up in. Even though they no longer live in their little country home, Pleasant Home will always be a part of her and influences much of what she loves to do. She is most content at home, sewing, quilting, gardening, baking, cleaning, organizing, researching her family history, and her newest endeavor, partnering with Riley Blake Designs as a designer.

Rain Pryor gives reader an inside look on how it was being raised a PRYOR. Even if you are familiar with Richard Pryor and his many demons, after reading this book you will learn more about this comedy legend. Rain shares the good and the bad, and like her father she is brutally honest. She also gave her account of Richard Pryor's last days, which was very heartbreaking.
My only complaint about this book is… I wished Rain would have went into more details about her experiences with drugs and alcohol, I felt as though she gave the readers a quick summary of that time in her life.
Overall, I was very happy I bought this book (Autographed Copy). It is a very fast paced read; I was done in less than 24 hours.
I would definitely recommend this book.
