As with most major historic travel destinations, it pays to do your homework when planning a trip to
The founder of the original Hotel Adlon was Lorenz Adlon, the son of a shoemaker and an apprentice carpenter, who dreamed of one day opening one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. In 1907, his dream became a reality and within a short time, the Hotel Adlon was the place to see and be seen. The nobility gave up their winter residences to live at the Hotel Adlon and it became the hotel of choice for visiting royalty and international celebrities. Following the war, the original hotel was renovated and for a time thrived until it was torn down in 1984. The rebirth of the Hotel Adlon coincided with the rebirth of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1997, echoing the original dream of Lorenz Adlon as one of the Leading Hotels of the World. Travel & Leisure magazine cites Hotel Adlon as one of the World's Best Hotels. The Condé Nast Gold List praises all aspects of the hotel. In 2007, the historic Hotel Adlon celebrates its 100th birthday and "new" Hotel Adlon Kempinski celebrates its 10th birthday. Join the celebration.

In a joyfully swinging chant, the members of a busy Caribbean family are introduced, while Stevenson's deftly scribbled lines evoke their lively movements and the lush setting.

"We received information from Hajiya Fatima that someone wants to buy her baby. So we told her to tell them she has agreed to sell the boy.
"The suspects bought the baby at the rate of N15,000 and paid N13,000 as part payment."
The PPRO said that one of the suspect, Itopam Pious, who claimed to be a nurse at ECWA Eye Hospital Kano, was arrested while trying to confiscate the baby from his mother.
According to him, the nurse intended to buy the baby for a couple, Mr and Mrs Charles Bob-manuel, who came to Kano from Rivers to adopt a baby because they were married for 12 years without a child.
Majiya said the nurse confessed to having committed the offence, while the couple denied the offence.
He said that investigation is still ongoing, adding that the suspects would be charged to court.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday issued
notice to the Chhatisgarh High Court registry on a PIL
alleging manipulations and irregularities in the conduct of
civil judges exam-2008 to favour candidates related to certain
judges, bureaucrats and politicians.
A bench of Justices R M Lodha and H L Gokhale issued the
direction after counsel Prashant Bhushan appearing for Centre
for Public Interest Litigation(CPIL) submitted that no action
has been taken on the allegations even though the matter was
brought to the notice of the then Chief Justice of India in
"The entire selection process of the exam is vitiated by
favouritism and malafide, as candidates are close relatives of
the senior judges and bureaucrats.
"The intelligent and suitable candidates have been
sidelined to favour certain candidates related to senior
judges and bureaucrats. The close scrutiny of the answer
sheets of the successful candidates related to the judges, law
secretary etc. indicates that the answer sheets of these
candidates has been manipulated to give unfair advantage
to them," the petition said.
The petition alleged that a number of relatives and
associates of sitting judges, bureaucrats and politicians have
been selected by employing fraudulent means such as
manipulations of answer sheets and serious irregularities in
the evaluation of answer sheets etc.

Roasted Cayenne Chicken
- Serves: 4
- Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Effort: easy
For the chicken:
- 1 large chicken
- lemons, pierced several times
- olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
- 1 glass white wine
- 150 ml chicken stock
For the peas:
- fresh peas, podded
- butter
1. For the chicken: preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7.
2. Stuff the chicken with the lemon. Rub olive oil into the skin and season with salt and pepper, dust with the cayenne pepper and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the bird.
3. Roast in the oven, turning down the heat to 180C/Gas 4 after 20 minutes. Cook until the juices run clear when the leg of the bird is pierced with the tip of a knife.
4. Remove the chicken from the roasting tin and keep warm whilst you make the gravy. Spoon off some of the fat from the roasting tin, then put it over a medium heat. Pour in the wine and allow to bubble up, then add the chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then season.
5. For the peas: bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the peas and cook just for 10-30 seconds; you want them just barely tender, so they still pop in your mouth, no mushy overcooked peas please.
6. Quickly drain, put the peas in a bowl with a dollop of butter and a sprinkling of salt.
7. Serve the roast chicken with the peas, gravy and maybe a dressed green salad.

Tweet, tweet, time to work on your Twitter chat skills!
So you want to build up your Twitter following and work on establishing yourself as a Twitter expert in your chosen field. It is a noteworthy idea and one that I strongly recommend doing. You may have no idea on how to go about this, but have no fear because Super Erin is here to help you!
Okay, now let's get down to business.
Twitter Chat 101
A Twitter chat is a way for online users to come together at a specified time to discuss certain pre-determined topics set by the facilitator of the Twitter chat. The facilitator is usually someone who is already well-connected in the Twittersphere. The conversation is given a specific hashtag to use. For example, if you are in a Twitter chat about monkeys in the Brazilian rainforest, then the hashtag may be something closely related to #BRMonkeyChat. The hashtag will allow tweeters to identify this particular chat.
Typical formatting of a Twitter chat will have a moderator (the person asking the questions) and possible guest contributors answering those questions. The guests contributor could be other leading industry experts or it could be anyone willing to chime in and offer up responses to the questions.
For each question and answer you will notice a corresponding "Q#" and "A#." The "Q#" indicates the question and the "A#" indicates the answer to the appropriate question. This organization is done to keep the Twitter chat organized and allow followers of the chat to easily find the questions and answers. The hashtag must be used with each question and answer. This is part of the basic Twitter chat etiquette.
@Facilitator: "Q1: How long have you been studying monkeys in Brazil? #BRMonkeyChat"
@Guest#1: "A1: Well, since I was a freshman in college! #BRMonkeyChat"
@Guest#1: "A1: Well, since I was a freshman in college! #BRMonkeyChat"
Use Proper Twitter Etiquette
Making sure you are using proper Twitter etiquette during your Twitter chat. Some chats have particular rules they want participants to follow, so make sure you do a bit of research on the chat you are wanting to join in on.
Finding Twitter Chats
You may be asking yourself where you can find out about existing Twitter chats and one of the best ways to go about it is to follow people and track tags within your industry. There are also some great online resources for finding existing Twitter chats for small businesses. Try checking these out:
Once you have found a chat you would like to participate in, find a resource to help you manage the chat. You could simply track the hashtag in Twitter, but using a program to help you track them definitely makes it easier and more streamlined. Try these great resources for tracking Twitter chats: Tweetchat and Tweetdeck.
When all is said and done.
Make sure you are tweeting great content in your chosen field on a regular basis. If you are gaining followers, but not tweeting great content, you may as well not bother. I don't mean good content, I mean great. Need someone to help you curate great content? Just let me know (insert winky face and shameless plus here)! In all seriousness though, one of the best ways to establish yourself as a thought leader in your chosen field on Twitter is to make sure you are tweeting about relevant industry information and making sure you are tweeting quality material regardless of doing a Twitter chat or not. This will help you maintain the followers you have. When it comes down to it – content is king.

It's been an interesting fortnight in Gloucester and Leeds watching the Scotland squad partake in their opening two games of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
And sitting at the top of Pool B with maximum points is great.
However, before a match was played we were all expecting 10 points from bonus wins against the two "minnows" of the pool.
What we didn't expect was Japan's win over the Springboks and that has changed the complexion of the group, putting Scotland in the driving seat to qualify for the quarter-finals. Having seen Samoa's two matches so far, I cannot see us losing to them, but bonus points could well come into play yet, so no-one is taking things for granted.
South Africa stepped up a gear to slaughter Samoa, but the Pacific Islanders also have a chance to qualify, along with Japan. Our second-half performances against Japan and USA were brilliant – 33 points and five tries in each – but if we play against South Africa the way we played in the first half against America we could be many points down by the break and the 'Boks are not going to concede 33 points to Scotland in the final 40.
Our own Stuart Hogg, Ross Ford and captain Greig Laidlaw are expected to start in Newcastle on Saturday – the team is announced this morning. Laidlaw has been immense. He's kicking well and when he came on against the USA with half an hour to go he stamped his authority on the match.
Hogg has fortunately recovered from his foot injury and is playing well, and the more we get into this World Cup the more I expect we will see of him. He is a player who loves to shine and when things are going right, the confidence just oozes out of him. He will relish testing himself against the world's best.
Ford has played more than 90 times for Scotland now and the way he is playing at the moment there is no reason why he shouldn't get to the 100 mark, as well as surpass Chris Paterson's Scottish record of 109. He's a player who's come under the radar over the past few years to become the third most-capped Scotland player and he's playing some of the best rugby of his career right now.
I will be disappointed if we don't do ourselves justice against South Africa, whose breakdown coach is of course another well-known Borderer, Richie Gray (the Gala one!).
I predict a Scotland win, but we can't afford to play catch-up rugby and a good first half is vital.

for resistance is useless.
Have we not all yearned to be artists
or martyrs from time to time,
to wear a face in a faceless crowd.
Haven't you learned yet?
In the dark we are all the same,
just the same, and all your grieving
will not make you any different.

Warner Music Group
Big Beat is home to such landscape-shifting artists as Skrillex, Icona Pop, Clean Bandit, Cash Cash, Galantis, Chromeo, Martin Solveig, Knife Party, and Robin Schulz. The label was founded in 1987 by then 21-year-old New York DJ and current Chairman & CEO of Atlantic Records, Craig Kallman, who started Big Beat in his bedroom, selling records on the street from a shopping cart.
The famed Elektra label was reignited in 2009, its independent spirit alive and well in the music of Fitz and the Tantrums, Saint Motel, The Moth & The Flame, Fences, Kaleo, Anderson East, and others. Founded in 1950 by music visionary Jac Holzman, Elektra Records is one of the most influential and revered labels in the business, from its origins in traditional folk and ethnic music to launching the careers of such seminal artists as Judy Collins, the Doors, and the Stooges.
FFRR is a celebrated dance music label originally established in 1986 by legendary English DJ, A&R executive and electronic music pioneer Pete Tong. In 2011, FFRR was relaunched under Warner Music UK and today is a dance imprint for Parlophone, with Tong at the helm of A&R for the label. The label's roster includes Paper Crows, Blonde, Oliver Heldens, Disciples, and Icarus.
Since its official inception nearly two decades ago, Fueled By Ramen Records has been more than just a record label; it has been a brand for the ever-growing community that has embraced what the label stands for. The label has become the nucleus for today's best and brightest punk-inspired rock/pop bands, with a roster that includes the likes of Paramore, fun., Panic! At The Disco, and twenty one pilots. Originally based in the college town of Gainesville, Florida – where it was headquartered in label founder John Janick's dorm room – Fueled By Ramen now calls New York City home.
Artistry. Originality. Diversity. Quality. In 2014, Nonesuch Records celebrated its 50th anniversary, a landmark in the history of a label whose eclectic, award-winning roster today ranges from The Black Keys to Kronos Quartet, Emmylou Harris to John Adams, Brad Mehldau to Randy Newman, Chris Thile to Rhiannon Giddens, Steve Reich to Robert Plant, Caetano Veloso to Audra McDonald.

It's sometimes not enough just to want to play well
By Dmitry Baranovsky
A serious test lies ahead for our national squad, although Finnish coach Kari Heikkila has every faith in them. Recently, he signed a new contract with Dinamo Minsk (playing in the Continental Hockey League).
Optimistically, Mr. Heikkila is unworried by our less than brilliant results, losing to Sweden and Finland in friendly matches; he notes that Belarus played well in the Skoda Cup, coming second in Bratislava.
"We've had a hard month of training, with many team members noting their exhaustion. However, after the match against Norway at the Skoda Cup, I asked them, 'Do you think the Norwegians are less tired? Yet you beat them'. We're approaching the World Championship in good spirits but need to further improve our performance. All our players need to give their utmost to training. If they do so, I think we'll have a chance of returning home in a good mood!" asserts Mr. Heikkila.
However, the start of the World Championship was frustrating for the Belarusian team. Defeat by the Finnish squad in the first match of the tournament was no tragedy — as the World Champion was no easy rival, and the Belarusians allowed through only one Finnish goal. The match against Switzerland was far more important from the point of view of tournament prospects. The Belarusians fought hard, twice equalising, and had enough opportunities to move ahead, but the Swiss finally claimed victory. The second defeat in a row has significantly worsened the position of the Belarusian team but we are still in with a chance.
Heikkila's squad is still finding its feet, doing better with each appearance on the ice. Secondly, the players have had a difficult season, with many performing leading roles in their clubs. Moreover, the team is yet to play with its optimal line-up. On the eve of travelling to Helsinki, Omsk Avangard forward Alexey Kalyuzhny, known as a strong player, joined the squad. Meanwhile, for obvious reasons, the Kostitsyn brothers (performing in the NHL) were unable to take part in the friendly matches (their Nashville team was fighting for a place in the finals of the Stanley Cup).

I struggle still a little with this idea of encouraging her to draw pictures to sell on eBay. Who would want to *buy* a crayon drawing done by a 6-year old, even if they are fairly well done for her age? Only their grandparents (who perhaps not coincidentally are the only buyers so far) -- and shouldn't they get them for free?
My original goals were:
- Provide a way for her to earn money (instead of us just giving it to her).
- Give her a little exposure to how businesses are run, i.e. with expenses, profits, etc.*
- Encourage the development of talents.
Selling her crayon drawings on eBay seemed a good solution that met all my goals -- however it still hasn't quite "settled" with me yet. Maybe it's because I know that the pictures have very little inherent value except for what little is incurred through guilt in the relatives, which just doesn't seem like a very solid business plan.
What do you think? Is this a good way for a 6-year old to earn money? How did (do? will?) your 6-year olds make money? I'd love to hear your thoughts, feel free to add comments below.
* As if I knew much about it myself...

It has been a long time, but finally BlogWalk is back – BlogWalkEleven, 18 May, Amsterdam.
The theme for this session is Digital Bohemiens.
Digital Bohemiens are (relatively) young people, fully adapted to the digital lifestyle. They see a city as their home, and are connected in European and global networks. They flock to conferences as their meeting places. If we look at this (somewhat exaggerated) portrait of the avant garde of internet users, what can we say about things like:
- the tools they use
- how they learn and develop themselves
- how they support a highly mobile life style
- the organisational models and business models that fit these networked individuals
As you see this is a broad subject that allows for enough space for wide ranging but deep conversations and dialogue.
BlogWalks are free formatted face to face salons aimed to bring together social software researchers and practitioners for in-depth conversations about their work, possible trends, and visions. They are low- or even zero-budget affairs, where apart from paying your own way for food and travel, no costs are involved.
BlogWalks are invitation-only, but it's easy to be invited – just email Ton Zijlstra and tell a bit on why you have to be there (you can email me as well, but then it depends on how long Alexander keeps me offline 🙂
Other important things:
- BlogWalk participants
- We are still looking for a (baby-friendly 🙂 venue in Amsterdam – please, contact Ton for any suggestions.
- If you live in Amsterdam and would be happy to host people travelling from abroad, please, contact Ton as well.

In an analysis of four placebo-controlled trials of COPD patients, treatment with the leukotriene antagonists zafirlukast (Accolate) and montelukast (Singulair) was associated with significant improvements in both forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC).
So reported Minh Nguyen, M.D., and Denise Woo, M.D., of California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, at the American College of Chest Physicians meeting here.
"In COPD patients with strong asthmatic or allergic components, I think leukotriene antagonists are a viable option, especially since all the treatments in COPD are really there for symptomatic treatment," Dr. Nguyen said.
However, he said, the improvements were small, with a mean increase in FEV1 of 0.0386 L (95% CI 0.0267 to 0.0505) and increase in FVC of 0.1047 L (95% CI 0.062 to 0.1474), meaning that these would not be used as first-line treatment but only after all other options had been exhausted.
"They're not first-line, second-line, even third-line clinically relevant," he said, "but by the time you get to fourth-line and you're really running out of options and if [the patients] have a strong allergic component, I think it's clinically relevant at that point."
Leukotriene anatagonists have proven effects in allergy and asthma, but COPD is believed to be influenced by a different branch of the leukotriene pathway, Dr. Nguyen said.
Much of the inflammation of COPD is believed to be mediated by leukotriene B4.
The leukotriene antagonists act on the branch containing the leukotrienes C4, D4, and E4. These drugs should not affect the leukotriene B4 pathway and COPD, Dr. Nguyen said.
However, some studies have shown reduced levels of leukotriene B4 in patients taking montelukast, and others have demonstrated a correlation between FEV1 and leukotriene C4 levels in COPD patients.
"There shouldn't be any change in FEV1," he said, "but clearly there's some kind of crossover going on."
Drs. Nguyen and Woo performed a literature search and identified four randomized placebo-controlled trials examining the use of either montelukast (two) or zafirlukast (two) in patients with confirmed COPD and no history of asthma.
Overall, there were 126 patients on active treatment and 127 controls.
When the data from the four studies were pooled, patients on active treatment had a mean increase in FEV1 of 0.0987 L (95% CI 0.0097 to 0.1876) and in FVC of 0.0977 L (95% CI 0.034 to 0.1614).
The maximum changes occurred between two and three hours after treatment.
Using a random-effects model for the meta-analysis, the treatment effects became more modest, but still statistically significant.
The results appear to lend support to the Dutch hypothesis, Dr. Nguyen said, which states that asthma and COPD are variations of each another, with COPD tending toward the progressive end of the spectrum and asthma toward the allergic.
Either the thought that COPD and asthma are influenced by different branches of the leukotriene pathway is not applicable, he said, or there is a feedback mechanism whereby inhibiting the leukotrienes in one branch affect levels in the other.
Ultimately, though, he said the results of the meta-analysis are hypothesis-generating.
For instance, the results may be used to question how much of the idea that the leukotriene B4 pathway influences COPD and the leukotriene C4 cascade influences asthma is valid.
In addition, he said, it remains unclear what the ultimate pathophysiologic and biochemical pathway is that allows the leukotriene antagonists to affect COPD and the leukotriene B4 pathway.

Well I'm baaack! I'm not sure why because I am still the same sweet girl, that loves to hang out in a lap, to be petted, and watch the world go by from my tree house in my foster home. I still readily give my people purrs and snuggles and want to be as near as I can. So if you are looking for a calm beauty that enjoys snuggling and bird watching then look no further as I'm your girl.

AAP today hit out at the ruling BJP at the Centre and accused it of undermining democratic institutions in the country by not allowing elected governments to assert themselves.
At a panel discussion on Centre-state relations in the wake of a tussle between the AAP government in Delhi and the Lt Governor over the appointment of an acting Chief Secretary, AAP leader Ashutosh charged that the manner in which officials are removed "overnight" by NDA government betrays a "dangerous attitude".
Responding to the AAP attack, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said at the event organised by the Indian Women's Press Corp here that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party should work with "responsibility" instead of engaging in the "politics of conflict".
Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said for his part that AAP and BJP could have avoided the row while JD(U) MP KC Tyagi called for a fresh debate on Centre-state relations and the roles of the Lt Governor and the Delhi Chief Minister.
CPI(M) central committee member Jogendra Sharma, meanwhile, maintained that the people of Delhi will not get their democratic rights until the city gets full statehood, an issue which BJP said was technically complicated.
Referring to the row over the appointment of officials, Ashutosh said, "The way institutions are being undermined in a systematic way, the way the parliamentary set up is being undermined, whichever institution tries to assert itself should not have the right... That is the attempt."
There is, he said, a need to discuss whether a democratically-elected chief minister should have more primacy in Delhi as compared to an "unelected" Lt Governor. He also expressed concern over the chief minister not being allowed to pick an official of his choice.

[kde-linux] Extra Mouse buttons
- Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:33:39 -0700
- From: James Tyrer <jrtyrer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Subject: [kde-linux] Extra Mouse buttons
I was considering purchase of a new mouse -- wireless since the extension cable really takes a beating. The USB cord's female connector doesn't take stepping on it very well and I just destroyed my next to last USB to PS/2 adapter (using the only one that still works) -- although I have to say that the PS/2 extension cable holds up better than the USB one.
IAC, I was looking at a Logitech m510 which has 4 extra navigation "buttons". IIUC, the X11 mouse driver now recognizes the extra buttons when using "/dev/input/mice". What I wondered was if KDE-4.7.4 supports the scroll left & right and the page up and down directly or how to set it up.

As we begin to nest before our bundle of joy arrives, I thought I would try each week to share what we've been up to. This week at our house (chez nous)….
I spent a lovely day with my mother-in-law shopping for the first few baby outfits, as well as a few things for the mama-to-be and then hot chocolate, tea and pastries at my new favorite Lyon patisserie Bernachon (thank you Françoise!)
At 22 weeks, I officially moved into my prego jeans, but I'm still winning the inny/outty belly button battle and still no signs of stretch marks thanks to my magic French cream.
We received a bag full of the cutest baby clothes (is there anything cuter than baby jeans) from our friends Elodie and Victor (un gros bisous), as well as all the necessary baby essentials from my sister and brother-in-law (thank you Pascale/Pierre-Marie!)
We spent the weekend checking out baby furniture for the nursery and Baptiste primed the baby's room.
I made this delicious Grilled Ginger Sesame Chicken Salad for dinner one night and these three healthy breakfast/snack options.
Watched some Roland-Garros.
Bravely jumped on the phone to make my own dentist appointment and restaurant reservation in French.
Until next week…

Lawmaker accused of killing 2 journalists in Guatemala denies chargesEFE Ingles |
Guatemala, (EFE).- A Guatemalan ruling party lawmaker, arrested on suspicion of being the mastermind behind the murder of two journalists in 2015, denied Saturday the charges against him and said the victims were his friends.
"I'm calm. He who did nothing fears nothing. And I did nothing, that's why I'm here. In the name of God everything will be cleared up," Congressman Julio Juarez Ramirez said upon his arrival in court after being arrested this Saturday when leaving his home in the San Bernardino municipality.
Juarez, of the ruling National Convergence Front (FCN), said he "never" ordered the murder of the two journalists as indicated by the investigation being pursued by the Attorney General's Office and the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG), but expressed his respect for the judicial process.
The legislator said he knew the two slain journalists, who were his "friends," and asked to involve reporters from the interior of the country to show that he has "never" had problems with the press, a profession that does "good work."
The congressman, charged with the crimes of "homicide, attempted homicide and illicit association," is accused of plotting the murder of two journalists in 2015 when he was mayor of Mazatenango, Suchitepequez, whie recently he has been sanctioned by the United States through the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
The arrest warrant against Juarez, 37, banned from leaving Guatemala since he lost his congressional immunity last November, was handed down Friday by the court that will hold a hearing of the congressman at a date not yet established.
According to the investigation, Juarez, who will not resign his position since he trusts he will recover his freedom when he reveals his version of events to the judge, supposedly ordered the murder of Danilo Efrain Zapon Lopez, a journalist with the daily Prensa Libre, out of fear of the investigations he was carrying out against the congressman, and, of which he had already published some excerpts.
Also killed in that shooting attack, which occurred in broad daylight in Mazatenango, was Federico Benjamin Salazar Jeronimo, a journalist who worked for a cable television network.
At the end of December, Juarez was included on the Specially Designated Nationals List of the US Treasury Department, a move that prohibits him from traveling to that country, where his assets have also been frozen and American companies are barred from doing business with him. pp/cd

So, I know I haven't written on of these bloggy things in a while. First just let me say this — It's the Mid-Terms' fault. In all honesty, I'd much rather be blogging than doing stupid math problems…or doing lab reports on genetics.
Lately, I haven't been feeling like myself. I've been in a funk for almost four days now, and I don't know why. It's actually starting to scare me. Normally I've been out of a funk within 24 hours. This time…it's different.
I looked at my GPA a few days ago, and instantly felt like a failure. I've NEVER had this low of a GPA before; It's always been at least a 3.0. This time…let's just say it's way below that. Seeing this just triggered something in my brain, and started a lot of these spiraling thoughts. Once one thought popped into my head, more would follow. It was hard to think rationally after that.
Sometimes I think, "Why Me?" Why do I have anxiety? Why am I a failure? Why am I a freak? Why can't I just be normal? Then thoughts like, "Your dreams are never going to come true." "You're going to be stuck in the same place forever while others move on." "You're not good enough, and you never will be good enough." "You will never find love, and you will never be in love." "You are ugly." STOP IT, BRAIN! Just leave let me have some peace for once in my life! Go away! Just please…leave me alone.
It's these things that were making me feel: hopeless, angry, anxious, unloved, stressed, useless…weak. These things were not making me feel like myself. Luckily, there was one other person who was watching me think these awful, and dreadful things. I think…It's time that I got in touch with the Big Guy upstairs. I've been straying from Him a lot, mainly because I thought that he wasn't there for me. I know that's not true now. All of this darkness in my head, was just preventing me from seeing His light.
Psalm 34:18. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
I can definitely relate to this because I've had my fair share of heartbreaks, and my spirit has definitely been crushed. What this verse is saying is that no matter how low I may feel, God will be there for me and make sure my broken heart and spirit are healed.
Psalm 62:5-7. For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation,my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
How I relate to this verse is that when I clear my mind, and just zone out, I can kind of hear what my soul is trying to tell me. Once I do that, I can feel my hope, as well as my faith, gradually increase. He is the one person in my life that has been there for me even before I was born; I can trust Him with anything that is troubling me. Nothing can shake me, as long as God is there to protect me. He will protect me from harm.
Matthew 6:25,34. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today.
I can relate to these verses in more ways than one. I worry about almost everything in my life, which I know is unhealthy. I should be worrying about what's good in my life, and how I'm taking care of myself. And I need to stop worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow, when what I SHOULD be worrying about is what's happening in the present moment.
These are just some of the Bible verses I've read that reassured me that God has been there for me all along, He's just been busy helping His other children. My vision has been clouded by all of these anxious thoughts, which prevented me from seeing that God has been there for me the entire time. Before I was even born, He was there for me. I just forgot that he was there…but I won't forget from now on. Whenever I feel like I'm lost, or losing my way…I just need to have some alone time, and talk with the Big Man upstairs.
I am the daughter of a King, after all. And since my Father is a King, I know that the plan He has for me, is the best. I just need to trust Him, and know that He wants me to succeed in my dreams. My dreams will become reality with His help.
The point of this blog was not to sound to preachy about religion (an FYI). I wrote it because I usually talk to God whenever I feel sad, lost or scared. I just wanted to share some verses that I thought were comforting to me.

A Trench For All Seasons
Now that the weather is cooling down, I find myself reaching for a trusty trench coat almost every day. Not only does it keep me warm, it also instantly elevates my "I forgot to set an alarm and woke up five minutes before class" outfit of jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers so that it looks more like a "I totally planned this" kind of look.
While trench coats are traditionally khaki or beige with a hem at mid-thigh or at the knee, there are so many variations on this classic coat out there. No matter your aesthetic, there's a kind of trench coat out there for you! Here are four different trench coat styles and how to wear them; see if one of them works for you!
Products: Coat, Top, Jeans, Flats, Bag
If you like to stick to the classics, you can't go wrong with a cropped trench coat. It feels a bit more casual than a longer coat but still looks perfectly polished. Pair it with a striped top, high-waisted jeans, and cute flats for an instantly put-together look.
Products: Coat, Dress, Heels, Tote
For a more feminine feel, try out a ruffled trench coat in a pretty pastel shade. Pair it with a flirty fit-and-flare dress, then add chic accessories like a quilted tote bag and ankle-strap pumps.
Products: Coat, Dress, Boots, Hat
For a moodier take on the trench, try a trench coat with faux leather details. Pair a simple gray dress with some statement-making accessories like buckled boots and a felt hat for an outfit that feels perfect for fall.
Products: Coat, Top, Jeans, Shoes, Backpack
Finally, for a laid-back look that's perfect for the weekend, go with a draped trench coat that will look good even if it's a bit rumpled. Slip on your favorite boyfriend jeans and sneakers, then sling on your backpack. You're ready to go!
What do you think?
Do you have a go-to trench? Are you going to invest in one now? If you have one, how do you wear it? Let me know by leaving a comment!

The Old Vic presents the world premiere of Joe Penhall's new play Mood Music, starring Ben Chaplin. 'Music is medication. The elixir of life. It's for injecting into the bloodstream to take away the pain…to promote euphoria…to adrenalise us and give us courage and empathy.' In a top London recording studio, Cat, a young songwriter, her producer Bernard, their lawyers and psychotherapists go to battle over who owns a hit song. Amidst a gathering storm of bitter complaints and brutal recriminations Cat and Bernard inflict a devastating toll on each other in a war that only one of them can win. 'The music industry isn't about healing heartbreak and vulnerability. It's about selling it.' Written by Joe Penhall (Sunny Afternoon, Blue/Orange) and directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Enduring Love), Mood Music is a sparklingly acerbic new play about power, passion and the price of creativity. It also stars Pip Carter, Kurt Egyiawan, Seána Kerslake, Jemma Redgrave and Neil Stuke.At The Old Vic in London until 16 June 2018, book your Mood Music tickets today! *Please note: Recommended for ages 14+.*Please note: This production includes some strong language.

THE main entrance to Southampton General Hospital will close for redevelopment for about 25 weeks from next Monday.
Patients and visitors will be directed to seven alternative entrances and exits around the site for the duration.
All additional entrances will be signposted and a temporary reception and Costa coffee shop will be installed on the green outside the current main entrance.
A car parking attendant will direct people from the main car park and additional volunteers will be available to provide support to those who need to find their way around.
A map showing the alternative entrances, details of the nearest car parks, drop-off points and taxis, is available on University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust's (UHS) website uhs.nhs.uk.
Many of the existing retailers have now moved or closed.
However, UHS Pharmacy, WHSmith and the Stockshop will remain open throughout.

I knew I was in for a treat when I saw that two of my favourite comedians David Mills and Gary Colman were going to be involved. I had also heard of the impeccable comedy credentials of Mick Ferry and James Dowdeswell. Jo Romero I wasn't so familiar with but I certainly am now – and I think I can speak for the whole audience on that one!
As you can probably guess from the title the show is a series of vignettes exploring love, sex and the whole damn thing. Jo appears in every scene playing four characters in total. In the four different scenarios – the first (Happy Endings?) opens, closes and reappears in the middle. It's probably the most attention-grabbing of the collection with Jo playing an Armenian sex-worker to Mick Ferry's shy, Northern everyman customer. Appearing in less-than-flattering semi-bondage gear Jo presents a character whose body is bent and broken with years of disappointment. It's a wonderful piece of physical acting.
Other characters played by Jo are – a born again Christian seeking revenge for earlier rejection; an Aussie swinger persuading her bullied husband to make a tantric sex tape and a Southern belle lush in a scene which is pretty much lifted from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
The male support is very able – even if none of them will be causing the Academy Awards panel any sleepless nights… The star however is Jo Romero. Slipping in and out of accents and characters with astounding ease – this woman is a mega-talent.
Nice – and very rare – to get a piece of theatre on the Free Fringe especially when it's of this quality. Funny, poignant and massively entertaining – get yourself along for a lunch-time treat.

Please follow this page for stories from our doctors, volunteers and others working on the frontlines in Haiti. We thank each contributor for sharing these personal experiences with us, and we hope that they inspire you as they have us.
Christian Kober
Photojournalist, Haiti
The following is the journal of Christian Kober, a photojournalist who traveled to Haiti as a volunteer for Denise. Christian has seen first hand masses waiting for food and water distribution, operations and overflowing hospitals, tent cities and slums. Thank you Christian for your courage in an unfamiliar place and for allowing us also to see the devastation that many Haitians face each day. The following four segments are Christian's entries, each accompanied by several of his moving photographs.
Part 2: Too many people, too little food
Part 3: Denise founder, René Aubry visits
Part 4: With Denise doctors on the frontlines
Part 1: An uncertain arrival
Day 1 (21st Jan 2010)
Santo Domingo: After 2 days of unplanned and complicated transfers (Cardiff-London-Grenada-St.Vincent-Antigua- Santo Domingo) I am picked up by people I don't know, thanks to different people I don't know, the first of many encounters like this with what I come to know as the Denise Foundation, Haiti Volunteer Group. I am welcomed into 'The Family' and begin my Haiti experience.
The following days I assume are not going to be comfortable or easy, so I take advantage of what is like the business class lounge preceding a long haul economy flight. My hosts Claudia and Desiree cook a great meal and take me out to stock up for my 'self sufficient' journey into the unknown. Expect the worst and hope for the best is the only way to go.
Later that night I meet my fellow companions Jamie Rudert and 3 Colombians who have gathered supplies and money in the days immediately after the quake.
Day 2
We drive 5 hours to Jimani on the DR side of the Haiti border and stay the night at the Samaritan Hospital, which has been taking injured refugees from Haiti. It reminds me of M*A*S*H but sadly missing the comical Hawkeye. Choppers fly in to evacuate the worst patients and dozens of injured Haitians lie around in tents, corridors and any other available space.
Day 3
A young boy is evacuated to Santo Domingo and his father, who is finally allowed to join him onboard, is overjoyed that he can go too.
With the supplies delivered and nothing left to do in Jimani, we decide to cross the border and drive to Port au Prince. Navigating from a Lonely Planet guide book that I photographed before leaving the UK, we get to Croix des Bouquets, the last town before Port au Prince. Seeing the traffic and chaos and with a flight back to Colombia the next day, my four new friends decide to turn back. I get out and walk a mile through the town before trying to hitch hike the rest of the way.
I get picked up, without even having to put out my thumb, by a guy and 2 girls who are singing beautiful hymns on the way to visit an orphanage.
Once I arrive I realize that I know no-one in Haiti and have no numbers to call. I ask directions to the nearest hospital in the hope I can find out where I can get online, if indeed it is even possible. On the way, I walk past the ruined National Palace and get to the General Hospital, which is being guarded by US marines, and only get inside because I'm carrying a Press card. A Norwegian Red Cross photographer tells me about a place called Visa Lodge which has wifi and floor space next to the pool if needed.
Back on the street but with no local money, a Haitian guy helps me get 'tap tap' to the hotel and even gives me enough money to get there! 30 minutes of skyping later I am picked up by a guy on a quad bike, Jean Succar (35), a Haitian living in his family house in Petionville. On the way, we stop at his old school, which has been damaged by the quake.
Half expecting to spend the night on the street that night I was very happy to be welcomed into a comfortable Haitian home. I also meet a French volunteer, Melyik, also staying with Jean and helping out at the local hospital. He has been here a week already and tells me how crazy it was when he first arrived.

I suppose my story of financial stupidity would start back in 1999 when I got out of high school and started at the community college. I took out a $2500 school loan (this loan will stick around way longer than I planned for more about it later). I never had to make any payments on that loan until I was finished with school or until I quit. Which I never finished my degree. So about 2001 I was starting to make payments of $50 a month.
2001 was also the year I was married to my wife Dawn. I came into the marriage with no other debt besides my student loan. My wife on the other hand had a few credit cards and a couple small personal loans and a car payment.
Just like many marriages we barely had any money to pay the bills let alone get debt paid off. Around 2002 or so my mom introduced me to Dave Ramsey. I had never heard of him before and I listened to a few of his tapes(yep cassette tapes). I thought this guy was an idiot. I mean he lost millions of dollars why on earth would I listen to someone like that?
Now being at the ripe old age of 22 of course I knew everything so I wasn't about to listen to anyones advice. I mean my knowledge was solid and I didn't need help from anyone.
We purchased a car in 2002. It was a 2001 Chevy Lumina. Unfortunately in late 2003 the car was wrecked. We did not even get enough money from the insurance company to pay it off. So we kept paying on it for another 6 months. I also bought another car from my mother. I paid to put a transmission into the car. So that put me another $1500 into debt. Im proud to say though that I am still driving that car today. Its a 1994 Chrysler Lebaron.
Sometime around 2003 I thought it might be a good idea to apply for my own credit cards. We couldn't pay for the credit cards we already had, why not add a few more onto the pile right? I ended up being approved for 3 different cards. Two of them had limits of $500 and the other one had a limit of $2000 I believe.
The two smaller cards I used primarily for buying gas, food, and crap. The larger $2000 limit card I used about $1000 of it to buy some stupid course I saw on TV. I honestly do not remember exactly what it was. But obviously it turned out to make me $0. Lesson learned with that dumb idea.
In April of 2004 we ended up purchasing another car for $14,000 to replace the car that was totaled. It was a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant. We didnt have enough money to pay the taxes and plating of the car. So we went and got a personal loan of about $1500 to cover those costs.
At the end of 2004 I thought it would be a good idea to go through a debt consolidation company. We had a total of 6 credit cards at the time that we put into the program. We paid them around $250 a month and that payment was split up between the 6 payments. It did absolutely no good using that company. As with lots of those companies they dont pay your debt to your creditor on time and it just creates more of mess.
In March of 2005 my mom had caught wind of my credit card debt and thought it would be a good idea if we borrowed $16,000 from her and my step dad to pay off our creditors. They meant well and it seemed like a good idea but looking back on it, it was the worst thing we could have ever done. During the time we were paying them they never mentioned anything about the money. But you felt like they were hanging that debt over our heads and it was very stressful.
Also in 2005 I decided that I NEEDED a new computer. So I opted for the Dell credit card and spent about $1000 on a new computer. Luckily today I am still using that computer and typing this very story on it now.
Towards the end of 2005 I was getting really stressed out with the debt and decided to take it one step further. Like I didn't have enough debt already. I thought it would be a good idea to go and apply for a bunch of credit cards. (I know it just keeps getting worse right?)
After all was said and done I had gotten myself a total of 11 more credit cards. I had a Dell, 2 HSBC, 2 Chase, 2 Capital one, 1 Juniper Bank card, 1 Paypal, 1 Citi, and a Music 123 credit card. These cards totaled a combined credit limit of over $11,000.
By the end of 2006 I had probably maxed out all of those credit cards. Put those cards on top of the debt we already had with a car loan, personal family loan and another personal loan.
We had personal loan through Beneficial. (They are not very beneficial if you were wondering). This loan was around $3000. About a year after we got that loan they sent us a check in the mail for $5000. And of course by cashing this check it would create a new loan for us. Good idea right? Well you probably guessed it. Yeah we cashed it. So now we have a loan with Beneficial for $8000.
So by now we have around $40,000+ in debt. I know there is other loans we got throughout the years that I honestly can't remember.
We were able to keep up with minimum payments for a while. But we knew it wouldn't last that long. The payments were slowly sucking the life out of us. As a desperate plea I started looking for someone to help us. Like an idiot I thought that a debt settlement company would help us. Yeah Right!! So I signed up with them anyway. The company I signed up with was called Credit Solutions. They are a total scam. We ended up paying them around $1000 and they only settled 2 cards.
At this time we were not paying anything on any of these credit cards and they were getting higher and higher balances each day. Some of these companies were offering me settlements as much as 70% off the balance, but I just did not have the money to settle with them at the time.
Then something happened that really scared the crap out of me. I came home one day and had a orange note stuck on my door from the sheriff. 2 of my credit cards had started the proceedings to sue me. I immediately called the lawyers handling the case and set up a payment plan with them. Why I ever let it get that far is beyond me. And let me tell you one thing. The lawyers that handle the credit card cases are way easier to work with than the credit card companies.
This is now beginning of 2007 and I am finally starting to see that all of my stupid ideas are not working. So I start listening to Dave Ramsey a lot more. I was already listening but I guess I wasn't hearing what he was saying before. In May of 2007 Dave was going to be doing a live event in Kansas City which was about 5 hours from where I live in Nebraska. About a week before the event my wife and I ordered 2 tickets and we were off to see Dave. Let me tell you seeing Dave Ramsey live was very life changing for us.
A month or so after we saw Dave we had a yard sale to raise some money for our emergency fund and I got a new job in the summer of 2007 which was paying me quite a bit more than I was making before. We were really able to start pounding away on the debt.
We really started getting all those smaller debts out of the way and start making some real progress.
Now we are towards the end of 2008. My wife received a sum of money and we were able to pay off our car and loan to my mom. Remember that school loan I talked about in the beginning that started it all? Well it was at this time still sitting in deferment. June of 2009 I was able to pay that off completely. Just 2 months shy of 10 years to pay off a stupid $2500 debt.
At the end of 2009 I quit my job because it was driving me insane. My wife and I agreed that I would stay home for the time being. We are almost debt free. We still have about $4,000 left. But have made a ton of progress. I am currently working on some different ideas for starting my own business.
My goal is to try and help people avoid my situation at all costs. It is not fun to go though and I will try my hardest to keep people out of where I have been.
Hopefully my story doesn't sound too familiar to anyone. If it does remember you can work your way of most problems you get yourself into.

December 19th, 2010 at 07:40 pmThank you for the kind words. What part of Nebraska were you from? I live in Grand Island.
December 19th, 2010 at 09:58 pmMy goodness, I was equally stupid, but can't remember all the gory details!
December 20th, 2010 at 05:53 amWelcome to the blogs and that is a great story. Keep up the good work towards being debt free. I will be there in 2 years or less. That is my goal. Looking forward to a new year.

December 20th, 2010 at 03:13 pmoh, between your cards and the ones I used to have we could have played Go Fish! ((faint))...I'm down to 2 cards, 1 Master card and 1 local department store one... but I feel like I still lack the discipline to get rid of them (what I mean is that hard as I try, I cannot help but charge things from time to time...it's gotten better, but still... and here you can't close the cards unless they have a $0 balance)
December 25th, 2010 at 08:15 pmTestify. From your post, the big take home message is that you were in a vicious cycle - taking on debt to pay for original debt. You had to break that cycle and then develop a virtuous cycle. You did it! And you can do it, others can!

BEIJING — China has appointed about 200,000 "river chiefs" at provincial, city, county and township levels to fight pollution, an official said on Aug 23.
The country aims to roll out the river chief mechanism nationwide by the end of 2018, according to a document released in December 2016 by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.
China is making faster-than-expected progress and "is likely to meet the target ahead of schedule," Zu Leiming, head of the construction and management department of the Ministry of Water Resources, said at a news conference.
By July 20, 31 provincial-level regions had filed plans for implementing the policy and appointed general river chiefs at the provincial level, Zu said.
Some 16 of these regions aim to appoint river chiefs down to the township level, while the other 15 plan to set up the mechanism to the village level, he said.
"Now, the mechanism has begun to show effects," Zu said
In regions where river chiefs have started patrols, the appearance of rivers has "seen apparent improvement," including better water quality and more effective protection of watercourses, he added.
Responsibilities of the river chiefs include water resource protection, pollution control and ecological restoration. They will be held accountable if environmental damage occurs in the water bodies they take charge of, according to the document.
East China's Jiangsu province was the first to appoint local government officials as river chiefs in 2008 after a blue algae outbreak plagued Taihu Lake in 2007.

"I put a lot of things into my work which are very personal to me. So how can the public feel these things? I think most people get to my work through the back door. They're attracted by the realism and they sense the emotion and the abstraction — and eventually, I hope, they get their own powerful emotion." - Andrew Wyeth
I read about the passing of Andrew Wyeth in the New York Times this morning. In addition to the well written obituary , there's an article about the continuing debate over the quality of his art, For Wyeth Both Praise and Doubt. Both pieces are worth the read; just follow the links if you have the time.
Earlier today I thought I'd write a bit about growing up in Maine where it seemed there were Wyeth prints in almost every home by 1970s. How his art, so popular when I was a kid, was considered bourgeois by teachers & students during my 1 year of art school in the late 80s.
I grew up viewing his work in prints & books, as well as original paintings at the Farnsworth & Portland museums and other places. My mom also took us on trips to Monhegan Island, where I learned more about the 3 generations of famous Wyeths. Monhegan is also the place where I first harbored the idea of Artist as Professional. I remember thinking how cool it would be to live away from the rest of the world & be left alone to simply create...
Hmm..I'm rambling....There was a lot I thought I wanted to say...but I can't quite put it together now that I'm here....
"I think the great weakness in most of my work is subject matter. There's too much of it."
-Andrew Wyeth
What I took away from Wyeth's paintings over the years was the light, the ambiance. Also, the idea that art didn't have to be pretty. That it could have a quite power. And it wasn't until reading of his death today that I even realized the extent of his influence on my pencil pushing...

Nicole Willis & UMO Jazz Orchestra – My Name Is Nicole Willis (2017)
320 kbps | 96 MB | LINKS
Nicole Willis, known for her collaborations with The Soul Investigators & Jimi Tenor produces an album including some of the tracks she composed with the former as well as originals specifically for a fresh collaboration with UMO Jazz Orchestra. Jimi Tenor, who is a multi-faceted artist, has penned all arrangements for the big band and their talented rhythm section. Pete Toikkanen who is a mega-talent guitarist from The Soul Investigators, along with the two, composed those original tracks that highlight their alternative influences. Indie god & personal hero of Ms Willis, Ian Svenonius introduces Ms Willis on the first track and wraps up the LP with a final plea.
Ms Willis delves into her Northern Soul anthems with One In A Million, Together We Climb and Break Free (Shake A Tailfeather) and with the never released (Everybody) Do The Watusi. UMO Jazz Orchestra add extra horn dynamic and Tenor's arrangements shine, as they have done so on the Soul Investigators' records. Pete Toikkanen whose unique style has been a defining asset of the group give the UMO Jazz Orchestra a rawness in treatment that they have never quite exhibited before. The mixes flatter all involved and are full. Mr Svenonius is superb without even trying and is on as ever.

April 6 2018
Town Council agreed on Tuesday April 3rd to purchase 702 Premier Way; which is currently owned by Trican, for its new Public Works facility.
This is a conditional offer whilst the town does their due diligence. If there are no issues, conditions will be removed on April 30th.
There have been plans for a number of years to replace the current facilities as they are at the end of life and require continual, expensive, repairs. The intent had been to construct a new public works facility by the water treatment plant, the most recent cost estimate for which being $5,000,000. The affordability of this project has caused the building to be delayed in the Capital Budget every year.
"This is a great opportunity for the town," explained Darryl Drohomerski, "This building is a wonderful option for both the staff and for tax payers. The staff will now have facilities which meet their needs and the cost for the tax payer is much lower than building a new facility."
"Council approved the purchase of 702 Premier Way for the sum of $1,730,000 on Tuesday with a possession date of July 6 2018 provided that all conditions are met." Drohomerski added.

THEATR Colwyn is already benefiting as a community venue following its £740,000 refurbishment.
The Abergele Road venue opened with a bang last week with an amateur performance of Godspell and is already reaping rewards as a revamped community hub.
Staff at the theatre say, whilst the venue has always been popular with theatre-goers and film fans, it has now taken on a new lease of life as a community meeting place.
The theatre is central to Colwyn Bay's regeneration plans and has been boosted with a new glass front, reception area, cafe, bar and improved disabled access.
Manager Phil Batty said staff had worked hard to get the theatre ready from when the builders left until opening last week.
"The theatre staff got the theatre ready after a magic two day turn around from when the builders left to the actual show," he said.
"We forgot how nice it is when people walk through the door and say 'wow'.
"People can pop in now for a cup of coffee; people can see through the glass and it is accessible to everybody. You don't just have to come to the theatre or cinema, they can just come in for a chat and a cheap cup of coffee.We've got such a lot more space now."
The theatre will also host a special evening celebrating the best of Wales through music and song at the new look Theatr Colwyn this evening (Thursday 22).

Today I officially registered the domain for my site which will launch featuring my newest series of paintings sometime in the very near future. For the time being the domain forwards visitors back to my blog (maybe you know this by now from being redirected here already). Looking forward to stretching my HTML building skills and seeing what I can come up with.

Thanks for all the support it has taken for me to get here. Much more to come.
