An amazing 5 days in beautiful Fiji islands.
We loved every minute of the trip. Being on a small boat like this almost felt like sailing and we got to know a lot of the guests. When visiting the islands it felt real and not at all a tourist trap.
- Recommended for
- Snorkeling, Blue Lagoon and meeting people from all over the world.
Great experience
We was cruising with Blue Lagoon 30 years ago and we loved it. This year cruise was very nice but we lack of entertainment provided by by singing and guitar-playing crew in the evening on the ship. Instead there were disco with quite old fashion music. It is a long way from the image of the islands. Visit to the Sawa-I-Lau Caves: the first cavern is ok, but the second one was overcrowded. Impossible to admire quietly this limestone cave. It is really necessary to make two groups (as announced), max 10 person. The same in the underwater passage, let people by 2-3 go through, rest 2 minutes, so they have time to proceed further and their eyes to get used to dark, before next small group arrive.

Air Conditioning Efficiency and how to Improve it
Checking to make sure you're getting the most energy efficiency out of your air conditioning unit is similar to making sure your hvac is simply working properly. Knowing the basics of inspecting your system can more than save you from having to hire someone, but it can also contribute to the longevity of your system.
How to check to see if your AC is running efficiently:
Fancy filters are not a necessity. Simply buying inexpensive filters from Lowes or Home depot, and changing them every 30 days is substantial maintenance work. High dollar filters can in fact be more restrictive, and ultimately block return air which will hurt your system.
Return Air
This is simply checking to make sure you have enough return air blowing out of your vents. If you hear a whistling noise this means that the return air is being restricted.
Freon Charge
Your system's freon should be checked once a year, and should be at about 5 degrees superheat charge for hot outdoor temperatures. If your system needs continous freon, something is wrong, and you might need a new air conditioner. It is illegal to continuously add freon to your system.
Make sure your ductwork is sealed tight. Usually located in attics, check to see if there are any cracks or leaks. Mastic tape or mastic seal are some of the best materials to use to assure everything is secured.
Miscellaneous Checks
- On your unit outside, check to make sure the coils are clear of grass clippings. Simply keeping your AC unit clean will improve its efficiency.
- If moisture is coming out of external pipes, this is a good thing. It means that moisture is not building up in your crawlspace, but rather being pulled out of your house.

Common lobby safety risks include slip and fall accidents as a result of wet floors. Glaro Inc. recommends making equipment such as wet umbrella bag holders and wet umbrella bags available.
Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 21, 2015
As fall and winter weather approach, building managers and property owners around the USA are preparing their buildings to make sure that key areas such as lobbies and entranceways remain safe. With over 70 years of experience manufacturing lobby and safety equipment, USA-based Glaro Inc. shares three essential lobby safety tips:
- First, building management should create security requirements and protocols complemented by the installation of a multi-tier security system. For example, security surveillance systems in combination with door access control systems and even biometrics are excellent ways to monitor and control activity at entranceways and interior access points. Upgrading security systems sends a strong message to visitors that their safety is a priority, simultaneously mitigating liabilities. Crowd control equipment and turnstiles help control volume and flow. This is especially important during peak hours and in areas where lines develop.
- Second, Glaro Inc. suggests making safety at entranceways a priority during inclement weather. "Common risks include slip and fall accidents as a result of wet floors," says Executive Vice President Robert Betensky. Mr. Betensky advises that equipment such as wet umbrella bag holders and wet umbrella bags be made available in lobby entranceways. Glaro Inc. stresses the importance of using entrance mats and runners, keeping floors dry with dry mops, and, avoiding planter run off by using planter catch trays. Floor blowers and dryers are also effective in rapidly drying wet floors.
- Third, Glaro executives suggest using preventative measures such as strategically placing signage to avoid safety hazards. For example, using yellow "wet floor" signs is advised as well as encouraging the use of wet umbrella bags with accompanying signage. Umbrella bag stands should be located in front entranceways, and they should be kept well-stocked by maintenance staff. "Even with floor mats nearby, umbrella bags are necessary because un-bagged wet umbrellas may continue to drip, creating a wet floor hazard in other areas of the building," added Plant Manager Bob Glass.
For example, wet umbrella bag stands should be strategically placed just inside entranceways. Models are available with and without signs. Glaro Inc. advises using the recommended optional signage to encourage more use.

You may be familiar with mason jars for their common use in canning. John Landis Mason designed this specific style of jar, which bears his name, in 1858. He designed it as a way to preserve foods without allowing bacteria to destroy the contents. This is still a common use of mason jars, but you can use them in other creative ways as well. You can, for example, bake bread or small cakes in mason jars. You can then consume them immediately or seal the jars and save the baked goods for later.
Things You'll Need
- Wide-mouth mason jars, optionally with lids and rings
- Large pot
- Oil or butter
- Flour
- Bread, cake or other batter
- Cookie sheet
Video of the Day
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees (unless your recipe dictates another temperature).
Place the jars and their corresponding lids and rings into a large pot. Fill the pot with water to cover the jars, then bring to a boil. Boil the jars, lids and rings for at least 10 minutes. This step is only necessary if you intend to seal the jars and save the baked products for later use; if you will consume them immediately, simply wash the jars, lids and rings with soap and hot water.
Grease the entire inside of each mason jar with butter or oil, then sprinkle flour inside to form a thin coating over the inside of the jar. Gently shake out any excess flour. This will help the finished product slide out of the jar more easily.
Pour the batter into the mason jars, filling each jar approximately ½ to 2/3 full.
Place the jars on a cookie sheet and put them into your preheated oven. Bake until they are done, probably 35 to 45 minutes. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the baked batter then pulling it out. If it comes out clean, the bread or cake is done. If not, return it to the oven and check every five minutes until it is done.
Remove the jars from the oven. Place the lid on each jar, then screw it on with the ring. Allow the jars to cool. This should create an airtight seal, which you can test by pushing on the top of each lid. If the top is already inverted and does not give under pressure, the jar is sealed. If the top is raised slightly and gives under pressure, the jar is not properly sealed. Consume the contents of any improperly sealed jars immediately, as they will not keep. Skip this step if you are not canning the jars for long-term storage.

The people elected for the second time, a president who has put us in debt over $5 trillion in less than four years. He is a man who voted against saving a baby that was born alive after a botched abortion.
He said, (in Illinois), we are no longer a Christian nation. Gas prices are more than doubled. He told us during the first election that he didn't mind gas prices going up, just not so quickly. He promised to close coal cleaning plants by regulations. He has. He has more than 30 czars and we pay their salary. They are accountable to no one but him.
Some are communists, some believe in open borders, some who believe that U.S. business cause world poverty. My favorite is Nancy Ann DeParle who is the health czar. She is a strong proponent of rationing health care. He spent $500 million on "shovel ready jobs" only to find out they weren't so shovel ready, and then he had a good laugh.
He sues states that want to protect their borders and citizens. If you think that only poor Mexicans cross our boarders, you are badly mistaken. Israel prime minister Netanyahu has been snubbed. Our only friend in that region. Meanwhile, he bows to leaders of countries that don't like us.
It is said that the average family's income had decreased by approximately $4,500. The unemployment numbers are above 7.8 percent. More people than ever are on food stamps and other government assistance.
If we would be allowed to recover our own resources, we could be self-sufficient. No more money going to Arab countries. He opposed the Canadian pipeline. If we don't use it, that oil will go to China.
The media gives him cover any time he is in trouble. It is hard to hear the truth when 90 percent of the media leans far left. Even when a U.S. ambassador is killed along with three other men and it is blamed on a video the media goes along. Fast and Furious is covered up and Obama sites executive privilege to keep it covered up.
It is said the 52 percent of the people think we are on the wrong track. When you can take a girl to have an abortion without telling the parents, but can't give an aspirin without written permission, something is terribly wrong.
John Kennedy said "Liberty without learning is always in peril, and learning without liberty is always in vain." We have a president who told the Russian leader concerning our nuclear weapons that he would have more leeway after the election. This was said over a microphone he didn't know was live. Makes me wonder what he is planning.
We'd better check out 2 Chronicles 7:14 and pray that God will heal our land. We cannot go on as we are now or in four more years we will be $20 trillion in a debt we can never pay. Maybe the Dems can submit a budget since they haven't in four years!

Today's Evening Standard reports that one of our roads, Richmond Way, is the most dug up in the entire city with the chief culprit being Thames Water. The utility company, who has a hate-hate relationship with our Council, is accused of not even counting the road in its figures.
Our Council do not miss such an opportunity to put the boot in with Environment Cabinet Member Nick Botterill claiming:
"We have asked Thames Water to replace the mains pipe on numerous occasions but each time our calls were ignored.
"Our fear now is that the pipe will never be replaced and residents and businesses in Richmond Way will have to suffer recurring leaks and continual road works, especially once the cold winter weather begins."
What's your experience?

Shepherd's Bush road "most dug up" in London

Just round the corner from my place. I can confirm there are roadworks there right now.ReplyDelete
The Utility Companies have laid waste to West London for about two years now - bastards.ReplyDelete

They are there so often I thought it was Time Team. Every time I see them digging I can expect my mains water to stop and then the electricity goes off at entertaining intervals.ReplyDelete
I find it hard to believe that any road could be more dug up than Goldhawk Road recently.ReplyDelete

Tactics That Will Assist You With Life Insurance
Insurance policies are not usually talked about in everyday conversations, however, it is an important part of life. It could be hard to take into account, but it is important to purchase life insurance coverage. This informative article contains some tips that could help you buy the best life insurance insurance policy for your estate and lifestyle.
When you determine which kind of life insurance coverage you wish to purchase, ensure you assess the lifestyle your family members will need if something would happen. Each member of your family members could have their particular particular needs that will need to be dealt with if your death in the family occurs. Your policy should cover expenses associated with the funeral, property taxes, mortgages and loans, as well as usual expenses your salary would cover.
An expression life insurance costs less but it does not last. Term policies are frequently touted with regard to their affordability. One does need to remember, however, that entire life policies are enduring financial investments offering equity which can be tapped if possible. By comparison, term insurance coverages only can last for the length of time which you make payments.
As you may prepare to acquire an existence insurance policies, the quantity of coverage is critical. Consider whether the policy could be enough to care for existing mortgages and debts, as well as provide tuition for dependents while they advance to university.
Your total cost about the life coverage should go up in the event you routinely do stuff that are dangerous. To get the best rates, you may need to give up scuba diving, bungee jumping, or skydiving. Also, planing a trip to dangerous parts around the globe could exclude from certain discounts.
If you will find individuals that depend upon you financially, you should think about getting life insurance. In case you die, your way of life insurance coverage will offer your loved ones with financial stability, whether it is to transmit your kids to college or helping your partner to pay for your home's mortgage.
You will frequently see insurance providers that seem to supply insurance rates that happen to be around 40% less than the normal company, and normally, this is because of the fact they aren't calculating inside you medical history yet. It is possible to compare insurance rates having an online service.
It really is particularly helpful when the service can present you with very accurate quotes per your health background.
Whenever you can, attempt to pay your premiums yearly versus monthly. When you decide to select annual premiums, it will save you some cash.
An independent broker could possibly procure a greater life insurance policy for you compared to a larger insurance firm. The firms themselves usually only sell their product offerings forever insurance, whereas the independent broker can choose options from the various firms, to construct that you simply better policy comedy Because purchasing life insurance has long-term ramifications, it's a smart idea to get several quotes before settling by using an insurer.
It sounds trite, but acquiring life coverage is acquiring reassurance. In case you have planned ahead, your family should be able to ensure it is by way of a difficult experience more quickly. This short article provides you with sound advice for identifying the most appropriate life coverage policy..

I didn't see it until you pointed it out, but damn, nice job.
@joodles: ???
@Paul_Is_Drunk: Asian, African, Caucasian
Looks like it went: 60s=Real Adult, 80s=Teenage, 00s=Child.
Yup, that's pretty much the truth there.
Goodbye fur bikini.
Whats the last thing a pubic hair hears before it hears the ground?
Ptuh ptuh ptuh.
@L_Tetris_Block: you sayin this is a bad thing?
@ColombianMonkey: Wouldn't the last one technically be Native American?
personally, i really like not having to go to the dentist for a haircut anymore.
and my barber is very happy i stopped asking for a teeth cleaning.
@ColombianMonkey: Is it wrong I didn't make the connection?
I'd almost say it's more racist to see it that way, because who the fuck is pink or yellow?
PATRICK AND SPONGEBOB. Yeah maybe you're not racist, but of course you gotta discriminate against cartoon characters. Pfffffft.
@dieAntagonista: Damn you, now I see Spongebob, Sandy and Patrick when I look at this picture. It's creepy.
Cartoon porn fetish?
@joodles: Oh. God. I can see it. On the other hand, Spongebob & co are kinda hardcore anyway. I'm pretty sure I have seen Bob in a French maid's costume. Finding out that he has a pussy and doesn't shave shouldn't be that much of a shock.
And you'd have to be blind to not see Patrick's camel toe.
@Gouki4u: more like a colour in between them both. a sweet caramel colour.
@Paul_Is_Drunk: nah, not at all. just shows you were busy?
Naw. Subtle references in cartoons are more likely to get me off than deliberate pornographic corruptions.
All right I'm kidding. But in my head I'm the kind of person who would do it like that.
@RSIxidor: Unfortunately that's not the worst thing I've seen online, but it does make me more afraid of people in SpongeBob T-shirts.
In Rockabye Bivalve, Spongebob dresses up as a woman to be the scallop's mother, cause Patrick doesn't wear a shirt, and there's a close-up of Patrick and he's really really hairy. It's a little disturbing.
Also, Spongebob watches porn on tv in one episode. "Gary! I was just looking for the… sports channel.."
Pafpafpaf? XD
@Sticky: PAF FAP
Yes. GTFO.
Fuckin spot on mate. I second global warming.
Yes. GTFO.
Keyword fake.
i would still be scared if he comes up to me with his acting (not dreth but undertaker) dreth iz cool
I know this post could be borderline for some people's workplaces. But, sadly, if this is considered postable, www.myconfinedspace.com is no longer a site I can enjoy in my spare time at work. Thanks AT.
@Sticky: can i askz you sumthing?
Shame. I shall miss you… well, actually no I won't.
Consider this, if a cartoon receding-hairline vagina cartoon has you worried about being fired… maybe you should stick to fucking work during working hours you slack fuck.
The global economy is going to shit and your worried about surfing MCS at work???
What the fuck is wrong with you?
@Sticky: One for you.
: 3
@ack: One for you.

@ColombianMonkey: Aaaand two for you.

Wait, how the fawk did you know about The Undertaker thing?
Your question you wished to ask?
@Sticky: is it me or a large amount of people have problems understanding comments/sentences?
Yes, it seems to be a fairly common problem. But it's the interwebs. I mean, there's really nothing you can do. :\
@ColombianMonkey: It's you.
Lol. Die speaks only truth, so I guess I was wrong. XD
Hey, he himself once said that he doesn't put any effort in comments on the Internet.
You get what you give.
@dieAntagonista: ahh it's nice to know your name is Sticky now 🙂
@Sticky: Is cool man, leave it be. am heading out. i rather not say anything more so I don't start another shitstorm to feed her masochistic needs.
I think that's Monkey's subtle way of hinting on me being you, Sticky.
Hey Monkey, it's not my fault that you say things on here and then you forget all about it.
I can't remember word for word, but you said something like, "The Internet doesn't deserve anything but my shitty grammar."
Or should I call you Immanuel. Or how about HitmanMonkey.
I'm not the one with sock puppet accounts, you are. So stop spreading lies just because you can't handle the truth.
Die is a masochist? Kinky. 😉
Masochistic needs? Oh please. You are the psycho with 67 different personalities.
Monkey I just lost all respect for you. Smoke more weed and maybe take some classes in basic English grammar.
*does my best Jack Nicholson impersonation* YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
@Sticky: yea I know man, I learned that the more you talk the more it want's to talk back to you, They look for every possible low grade comeback it can think off. Since they have nothing relevant to say lol. watch what happens mmkay? ~~ hey maya you are the one who started a shitstorm about 1 comment I made that's obviously worth a fly in your room that progressed to something you cannot handle anymore. You are the one who started saying im full of shit and i should shut the fuck up. You are the one who… Read more »
You said, and I quote "retarded shitstorm". Yeah you didn't say retarded people, but that's pretty much the same. If people are trying to have a discussion and you call their thoughts retarded, while you don't have anything better to say than, "oh they're all children, haha, look at them!" – then that is what I'm going to judge you by. Comprende? Look at you and how degrading you are. You don't even reply to me, you reply to Sticky and you say "Since they have nothing relevant to say lol. watch what happens mmkay?" Now who is the one… Read more »
It's wrong to accuse people who shave their pussies and enjoy bald or super-trimmed pussies of having desires towards prepubescence. If you like to eat it, it's the only way to go. Period.
Ahoy there.
I noticed you got drama on your internets. I have a camper in the back, I could help you store some of it away although I think it won't fit in completely.
Or I could fuck you up the ass so you forget about it.
wow…. if you only knew how stupid that comment is. you're blaming me for the stuff you doing lol. shows determination. just look at yourself trying to find the lowest forms telling me i'm scared and only quoting sticky only. imma just quote that so i can keep this short since you enjoy shitstorms . That is just proof how low you have to go. but HEY if you wanna go as low as your coping abilities then be my guest but at least have some pride for yourself.
So. When did you two get hitched? You sound like a married couple after the honeymoons over and the first bills just came in.
Talk about the proverbial gas on the fire. XD
@SumoSnipe: LOL
I thought that for a split second and decided against posting the thought.
i brought some haterade… i know how all this hating can really get your electrolyte levels down…
Thoughtful of you. I hope you brought the gallon.
people have read into this a lot – it's just social commentary – simply showing a shift in trend translatable to the masses – the change in color was either an aesthetic choice as one color was too bland or an effort to avoid selecting one race, and in turn, being considered racist –anyone know the artist?

In FAQ (advanced), under the question "How do I add sunrise and sunset times to VueMinder Calendar?", step 2 instructs one to "...enter the following URL, replacing A and B with your latitude and longitude, respectively...." It seems that the URL suggested - "http://www.webcal.fi/cal.php?id=42&lat=A&lon=B" is erroneous in that it contains "amp;" twice.
A minor thing but it does confuse (slowdown) the process of subscribing to this calendar.
I love the sunrise and sunset calendar.

Today is August 1, 2017. One month to the day of UTMB. I cannot believe it is coming so fast! The time flies by and I am afraid I will not be ready. Unlike any other race I have done in the past this requires so much more thought and planning. It will be the hardest course as well. It is an adventure of a lifetime and I am blessed to have this opportunity. I am a little scared too!
I first thought of this race in 2016 while looking for qualifying races for Western States. That year I turned 55 so my plans were to do ironman again and try to qualify for Kona. Yet, I knew I still need to put my name in for Western because I do every year. While reviewing races I came across a video of UTMB. It was of an eagle flying over the course. It was so amazing. Snow cover mountains and single track trails. Todd walked in as I was looking at this. I tried to turn off the computer because he thinks I am always plotting and planning something. He saw it then asked, "Why would you want to do ironman if you could do something like this? You can drive your car across the IM course but this is something you would never see." I was surprised by his reaction and excited too. This was something I would love to do! So I changed my plan . To qualify for UTMB I needed points from 3 races. Points are given to various races based of the difficulty of the course. The harder the course the more the points. I already had points from Western States and Vermont. I only needed one more race. You have 18 months to gather all you need. I then signed up for Leadville 100 for the remaining points. When I returned home from that race I realized no points were given. I only had a few months to do another race so I went to Cloud Splitter 100. There I received what I needed. Dec 2016 my name went into a lottery for UTMB 2017. My name was drawn!
Being that this race is in Europe I found myself not sure where to start. I needed a plane ticket and place to stay to start with. I spend so much time looking things up, not knowing if it was a god deal or not. Finally, I just had to make a decision. I was wasting so much time and there was just to much else to think about. Most importantly, I needed to run!
My training plan was to keep it simple. Do a few local races but focus on running with all the mandatory gear. It is so much and so heavy I wondered if I would be doing any running. Maybe only a long slow jog or walk. I went to LBL for the 50 miler ( my tenth year there). This was nice to get the distance. I love that race! There I received a check from USTF Ky. for $500.00 to help with expenses. I could not believe it! I cried. Money is always an issue to me because I always want to do so much. I used the money for some of the gear I needed. I bought my poles first. Will Rivera ordered these for me from Running Soles. They are Black Diamond and very light weight. I felt this was something I needed to learn to use.
Next I went to Yamacraw to run the 50k. There I saw Traci Falbo who loaned me a few Nathan hydration backpacks to try. This was a great help. I put the pack on and filled it with lots of heavy stuff, a jar of peanut butter, red bull, and various other thing. This race I loved. I felt good during this run but it was still so far off and I had so much more to do.
I next planned to run a race in Eastern Ky. The race director offered me a free entry to help with my training. That was so kind! I knew this would be great training because of the hills of Eastern Ky. This race in the end did not take place but the gift was the same.
From that point I have spent most of my days running in Jefferson Memorial Forest. I run there at least twice a week. It is my favorite spot that is close enough. I have run with a variety of people and many of my BUF friends. Badass Ultra Friends, that is who these ladies are. I love each and everyone of them.. They each have an amazing story to tell. Someday I want to do a podcast with them so others can see who they are. I am inspired by these ladies. All of different ages and walks of life with the common thread of trail running. This is my world and really my family (along with Todd and my animals). One Saturday am we gathered to run and to my surprise many of the Buf gals were there. Michelle spoke and gave me a little suit case. Inside were socks, sword, phone charger, the mountains are calling hoodie, a book on trail running, a book on the Alps, beautifully written cards from so many people I love, and $1500.00 for a plane ticket for Todd. I was left speechless. We ran and I felt so loved. Who does this? And I know I did not deserve such a gracious gift. I can only repay them by doing my very best.
Now it is a month before the race. I have most of my gear. Quest Outdoors helped me with a lot of it. I can run with this crazy pack. I have learned to use the poles. I have done some 30 mile long runs and plan to run 75 this Saturday. After that I hope to drive to Colorado and climb using my poles. It is coming together one day at a time.
Now I am focused on my mental strength and spirit. Todd is unable to go with me. That means I will fly there myself and spend the first week climbing some mountains alone. I am a little nervous about this and wonder even why I am doing this if I cannot share it. Two of my friends will be there the during the race which will be nice! Today, while running I realized I am not alone and I do not need someone else to fill this void in me. I am loved and I love life. It is okay to be alone. My joy often comes from others but my strength comes from within. I will do this for all that have believed in me and for all those I love. It is a gift to be able to go and I will embrace it. The quote "Be still and know I am God." comes to mind.
I wanted each person that has given so freely to know how thankful I am. You are my friends and I love you all. As time draws near and while I am there I will keep you posted.

Talking about the original here, not the remake. Just like Empire is the best of the Star Wars trilogy, Dawn is easily my favorite of the original Dead trilogy.
We start with things in utter chaos. Unlike Night of the Living Dead, which showed how the zombie plague spread slowly in rural areas, we jump into an urban madhouse where SWAT police are trying to contain an outbreak in an apartment block. Humanity is just barely hanging on and Gaylen Ross plays Francine, a newswoman with schemes to steal the company helicopter and make a break for it. Francine gathers her pilot boyfriend and two of the surviving SWAT cops from the opening and the four go looking for refuge. They find it in an abandoned mall.
Immediately, there is some wish fulfillment at play here. As a kid, I always wanted to spend the night alone in the mall just checking out each store and taking what I wanted. These people first have to clear the mall of zombies but, once they do, the entire place is their playground. Lots of tension is wrung out of how they set the mall up as a fortress. Every action they take to secure the place exposes them to attack. It is almost like they are playing chess with the undead. Of course, as is always the case, zombies aren't their only problem. When a band of motorcycle riding marauders show up, things go south quickly. How far would you go to protect your kingdom?
The performances are pretty great here and the effects represent early work by the master, Tom Savini (who guest stars as one of the bikers). There are sly digs at consumerism here and there but this is mostly just a compelling zombie story. Stay for the scene with the "take your own blood pressure" machine...classic.

Project 365/006: Cursing the oncoming storm
I'm not particularly looking forward to the snow storm set to hit my neck of the woods overnight tonight.
Not that I mind clearing snow, it's just a giant pain in the neck! Jackets, gloves, hat, sweaters, two layers, three... and treadmills... oh how I hate treadmills.
I'd rather be on a beach somewhere. Sun, sand, a cold beer, and shorts.
I can dream, can't I?

For those of you who've been following this blog for a while, you may remember a story I posted in March of last year involving a military field grade officer at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Uvalde, TX. That initial report was followed up with another post several months later containing additional video footage and commentary regarding the incident.

ABERGELE Council is highlighting the number of run-down and unused properties in the town as an alternative to Conwy's Local Development Plan.
Councillors want to see these properties transformed before other land is built on.
Although it could only account for some of the 300 new homes planned, Councillor Sam Rowlands believes it could go some way to reducing the hugely unpopular proposal.
He sees the property near the Castle Hotel on Dundonald Avenue as prime for redevelopment.
"We want to get this one going as a pilot and see how it goes. I am sure it can be a workable alternative to some of the development and however small – it can make a difference," he said.
"I do believe that empty properties in Abergele could reduce the level of need for new development but it wouldn't be enough to satisfy the Welsh Assembly government's lust for new developments in Abergele or indeed throughout the county."
Councillor Rowlands sits on a committee aimed at promoting the use of properties like the one on Dundonald Avenue throughout the county. There are nearly 1000 properties like it in Conwy.
They have supported a business case to recruit an officer to work full time on the issue as there currently is not one.
He also aimed an attack at the LDP's treatment of Abergele especially proposals for a traveller site on Llanfair Road: "To be frank, the LDP in its current form does not favour Abergele at all. It seems as though the simple process of consultation was missed." He added, "why should we pay for something which hasn't shown enough evidence of need."
The Llanfair Road area has been earmarked for the development of 90 new homes as well as the proposed traveller site. There are also plans for 220 new houses by the Threeways Roundabout.
A spokesperson for Conwy Council confirmed it is committed to providing affordable housing and at a meeting this week a business plan was passed to introduce an Empty Homes Officer for the county.

A former professor from NCSSM wrote this column in response to the NC Senate's idiotic ideas on education and teacher reform. This idiocy hits home for me because I am about to go back to school to get a Master's in teaching - but if the education system is dismal, as they are trying to make it, then what, pray tell, is the point? I might as well be going to school in Maryland, hooking up with the teachers I have connections with {there are a LOT}, and getting myself a job up there - where the cost of living is higher, but also the pay and standards and treatment are higher.
I encourage you to read this article, and make your voice heard. Teachers play such an important role in the world - and in your life and your own children's lives - that they cannot possibly be overvalued. Sadly, as with most of the do-good professions, they are dismally dismally undervalued.

Well actually, not a lot of time for tea! This time in 5 weeks, I'll be at the pre-show drinks party. Am I prepared? Um, no but I'm past the panicky stage, thank goodness! I still only have about 12 bears for the show, which when you're talking about minis makes for a very empty looking table. But I'm so pleased with the bears I have and I have 5 more in the works.
After three days of migraines over last weekend, I'm working on finishing up a few minis. I have been working on a new design, and am thrilled with the results. Hopefully I will have a picture to share tomorrow. I am due to put another bear on bid4bears and am trying to decide which one I'll add. I'm meeting with the girls for a sewing day tomorrow, so maybe I'll let them make the decision for me!!
In every psychometric test I take, the results always show that I am a big pictures person and not a finisher. It's quite unusual for my profession and it rolls over into my bearmaking. To my regret, I shall never be one of those people that has just one bear on the go; I always have a few bears in various stages of completion. I also have designs for bears in my sketchbook that I've planned for years and the little bear below is no exception.
I bought this cup in 2001, intending all along to make a panda for it. Six years later, and I can finally introduce you to her. The fabric is from Sassy's and for some reason, the pile on the black stands straight up rather than lying smooth like the white does. I love this effect as it makes her seem a bit chubbier than my regular bears. It's also a blue black which works really well with the deep indigo of the cup. Her nose is actually navy and I'll add her paw claws in the morning. She wears a sash from gorgeous ombre dyed ribbon and though the photos don't show clearly, she does have panda style shading to her eyes.
She's kind of named – I need to ask my sister in law for one of the Chinese words for "willow" when I'm home. If it sounds cute, I'll use it! I also need to make a satin cushion so she can sit in the cup. I'm not sure whether to take her to Australia or put her on bid4bears. Either way, her cup is going to need careful packing. It's very petite – about half the size of a regular teacup and I shalll miss it sitting on my shelf!

I read a lot, but I haven't really had the brainpower to tackle any substantial reading for a while. In an attempt to return to my literary roots, I picked up Joyce Carol Oates' The Gravedigger's Daughter. I hadn't read any of her books, but I've always read phenomenal things about her work.
The book isn't a difficult read, but it is depressing. I haven't quite finished it, but three-quarters of the way through, I have to say that it is a heartbreaking tale of immigration gone wrong, and the repercussions that has through the generations. The back of the book describes it as "distinctly 'American'". Filled with disappointment, death, and abuse, I really didn't want to admit that this represented a story about America. But then I thought about how the majority of us are children of immigrants. While we may not all have experienced the extent of despair that this family did, at some point or another, our families, whether as immigrants in the recent past or many decades ago, experienced a difficulty adjusting to this new land. Being a second generation American on one side of my family and third generation on the other side of my family, I can relate.
Rebecca, the only person in her German family to be born an American (just barely, by virtue of her mother giving birth on the ship as they arrived), does not experience that "All-American" life that we envision from a nostalgic view of mid-century America. Instead, she endures her hardships and slogs on. She pushes her life forward, not necessarily heroically. As a legacy fro her self-loathing father, for a large portion of the book, she completely denies the immigrant part of herself. Consequently, she continues onward not for herself, but to create a better life for her son.
That seems to be the classic story of immigration, done not just for the initial generation, but for the betterment of future generations. However, personally, as a child of the merging of various immigrants, I sincerely hope that by the end of the book, Rebecca is able to reconcile her immigrant past with her birth country. I'll let you know what I discover.

Dirty Projectors tonight?
Anyone? Saw them at SXSW and the new stuff was stunning.
Me is going
Should be good
I'm going
Saw a few vids from their set (sets?) at SXSW and yeah, the new stuff sounds crazy. Lucky Dragons will no doubt be brilliant as well.
I'm going too.
I'll be handing out flyers for our Matt Elliott, Passe-Montagne and USAisamonster shows afterwards, so say hello!
Didn't quite say hello
but seeing Elliott's name made me double-take and get one of your flyers. :-)
it was awesome in nottingham
In Manchester last night.
I want to see Polar Bear but I can't stand Dirty Projectors
I'll probably leave early if I go
Anyone know the stage times?
This seems to be the only question i ever post on DiS but as usual, my friend who has the tickets is hard to convince to arrive early enough for support acts - so I'm hoping it doesn't start too early...
Yeah, the Manchester gig was wonderful
Lucky Dragons - Luke Fischbeck uses technology to make music from the collective being of the audience and produce a sound that in certain moments reminded me of Ribs Out by FB
Polar Bear - introduced to me by jimitheexploder - I'd never experienced any form of live jazz in my life - they are truly astounding. Tom Herbert the double bass player is in The Invisible - and I've seen him twice before. Such a subtly of understanding between the players. I love the way melodies are created, dissolve and are rediscovered.
Dirty Projectors - there is multiple complexity here in the vocals of David Longstreth, and in the guitars, but they bring in so much more - bits from everywhere ranging from where Polar Bear had just left us right over to I don't know - somewhere near gospel.
All these artists engage you in a different way; and I thought this was a clever line up.
Great analysis Martin!
Lucky dragons were pretty amazing to see live, really clever, I just saw some documentary about that project we saw last nights, looks like he's been working on it some time.
With Polar bear, I never realised live jazz could be so powerful! When both Sax players were blasting it out and the whole band was in full swing it really was something special. I'd take them over the stuff the play in Matt & Phreds any day, and I like M&P's.
Dirty projectors were ace as expected, so damn tight, must take a lot of hard work to make all the harmonies flow so effortlessly. I'm now in love with this girl: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2305/2476805847_804bca9524.jpg?v=0
Yep yep yep.
Very excited. Can't wait to hear new stuff and see how the new line-up works. Looking forward to 'Temecula Sunrise'.
Not bothered about Lucky Dragons but Polar Bear should be interesting.
I'm going
I'm looking forward to it - I'm about to leave now in fact so ta ta!
set times
Lucky Dragons - 8:15
Polar Bear - 9:00
cannot wait, about to leave.
set the bar for 2009. Fucking astonishing. The new stuff actually surpasses the Rise Above tunes, live at least.
Fleshed out line-up (extra lass on vocals, a new bassist, plus Angel's keyboards, albeit barely audible tonight), and a far more prominent rhythm section made for a more robust sound than the last time I saw them.
That's another Brooklyn-based act's new record to get in a lather about. Oh, King County - can you not share some awesomeness?
the whole night was rather special. Panda Bear were great and Lucky Dragons really created a rather nice atmosphere...
DP were totally outstanding - way better than last year. The 6-piece sound is just better, the new songs are again very different to everything previous... that guitar riff on Remade Horizon is so, so good.
Knotty Pine was totally the highlight, (alongside pretending to forget how Rise Above goes).. the only qualm I had was that Dave was a little tame on "Depression". Also nice to see them even touching stuff from The Glad Fact...
sorry! haha
thanks for that. It was getting late
Yes Knotty Pine
was amazing! Thing is, that's surely their most commercially acceptable song.. and least like the majority of their music...
Aye, it was a stunning show
DP and Polar Bear were both brilliant. I only caught the end of Lucky Dragons, however.
I really didn't like them.
Really enoyed Lucky Dragons, thought Polar Bear were ok but DP really were not my cup of tea what-so-ever. Just found it irritating, especially the vocals.
Best gig of 2009 so far
by a mile, amazing night.
Just so incredible.
I didn't think they could get any better! The song where Amber sings the main vocal (I think it was the 3rd one they played) was something else. It was like if Mariah Carey's output had got exponentially better for the last ten years instead of getting worse. I didn't know Amber could sing like that.
And that vocal interplay thing she did with the new singer on the 2nd song! It was like the part in 'Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie' but at double speed.
So many great moments. They're such an important band.
Polar Bear were really great too. Sadly we couldn't see the drummer from where we were but he's the money.
I was stood infront of Polar Bear's drummer. Him and the double bass player are really well knit & were great to watch...
the song Amber sings is called "Stillness is the Move"...
"Stillness is My Move"*
failing today.
Oh, cool, that's the single isn't it?
Can't wait. I love this band a disturbing amount.
I was going to pop on to post about this last night,
but for some reason this site wouldn't let me.
Anyway, yeah Stillness Is The Move (you were right first time, Holmenator) was incredible - easily the highlight of the show, and you could tell that it's something special when the crowd react that way to a new song.
It deserves to be the song of the summer. It deserves to to dominate the charts like Umbrella, or something.
Does anyone know the stage times?
Might go to this in Bristol tonight.
link to 'Stillness Is The Move' liiive -
I have a copy of 'Bitte Orca', and it's oh, y'know...almost unbearably lush. There's a second studio album due this year beyond that, too. It's entirely emblematic of Plan B's wins+fails that we put them on the cover about a year and a half before they went big but OH WELL, it's all (really. really) good.
Cool, I'll listen to that when I get home.
I think it's thanks to Plan B that I got in to Dirty Projectors back at the start of last year. So that's a win.
I find it hard to tell, are they going big(ger) right now?
Also, the Dirty Projectors cover/article you're talking about was one of the best Plan B have done.
i wrote that - thanks!
you're probably right to say big(ger), but having seen them a few times the most recent show was notable not only for having at least 3x the audience, but for all of those just radiating looove toward the stage. it was so warm - and so nice to see a crowd willing a band on that way.
i did hear that the Plan B cover was a contributing factor (however modest) toward getting their bigger record deal, so that was a real reward, too. something similar may have happened when we did micachu big this year - originally the album was scheduled for january, but just as we put ther on the cover she was signed to rough trade, etc.
last year at the Dome (and I'm probably most projecting (no pun) here) I think the crowd was more kind of impressed/intrigued/surprised/blown away by the band but a year later - a year spent getting to know 'Rise Above' and anticipating the new album and hearing leaked tracks or live videos - this has turned to proper love. No band deserves it more.
there's a (blank) version of 'Stillness Is The Move'
...on YouTube, too. hopefully a real video will follow soon, maybe even made by the dude they worked with for The Getty Address - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9wblCE2B0w

The chief object of this book is to impress on the reader how the vicissitudes of middle life react unfavourably on health and how the practice of yoga asanas — the well-known poses-mentioned in the Yogic literature of India counteracts this tendency towards ill-health.
In his work, the author has endeavoured to show the physiological importance of the asanas from his own personal experience, thus making the practice of this ancient science acceptable to the highly scientific mind as well as the layman.
In his Foreword Lt. Col. S. L. Bhalia writes: "Dr. V. G. Rele is to be congratulated on the clear exposition and the sound physiological interpretation which he has presented here."
The value of the book is considerably enhanced by a large number of excellent photographs of the many poses shown in different stages. At the present time, when there is a growing realization of the importance and need of physical culture in daily life, this book will meet a real need, for the asanas if rightly practised, "rejuvenate the body, prevent premature ageing, maintain eternal youth and defy death.

Three million workers with final salary pensions have a 50 per cent chance of losing up to fifth of their income because their employers have made unaffordable promises, a recent report has warned. Could you be one of them?
A growing number of employers who have offered staff so-called "final salary" pension schemes are coming under extreme pressure to meet their obligations, the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association said.
This is down to a range of factors including people living longer than expected, making guaranteed pensions more expensive to provide.
Companies who find they cannot afford to pay the pensions they have promised staff will have their pension schemes rescued by a lifeboat service called the Pension Protection Fund.
However, workers whose pensions are taken over by the Pension Protection Fund can be up to a fifth lower than what they were originally promised.
Recent high-profile cases of doomed pension schemes, such as the BHS collapse, have highlighted concerns over the future of workplace pensions in the UK, and other developed economies with ever increasing, ageing populations.
The PLSA's analysis showed the most vulnerable employers have a 50 per cent chance of not having an insolvency event over the next thirty years.
Ashok Gupta of the PLSA, said: "More than 11 million people rely on defined benefit pension schemes for some or all of their retirement income but there is a real possibility that without change we will see more high profile company failures such as BHS or Tata Steel.
It is vital that action is taken to address covenant risk, underfunding and the current lack of scale in the majority of schemes."

Outlaw Way 121029 (Deload) +HoA Pics
Today marks the start of an Outlaw deload week. I'm not going to worry about the work I missed over the weekend, as much as I'd like to do DT and the hero WOD it just doesn't make sense to try and squeeze that in. A deload week is a traditional weightlifting and bodybuilding concept that doesn't get a ton of credit but is really important to steady progress. The idea behind deloading is to train in mesocycles, which is simply a phase in your training plan with a specific focus, the last 8 weeks was focused primarily on back squats. At the end of each mesocycle you need to deload for about a week, a deload is exactly as it sounds, reduce volume and reduce weight, so the goal is to work at a lower weight for fewer reps, but not to do no work at all. The purpose is two-fold, to let your body and mind recover from the last 8 weeks and to prime your body for the next cycle and get the most out of it.
That being said – today was pretty rough, quick, but rough.
BB Gymnastics
1) 15 Min. 1RM Snatch from blocks 150
5 Rounds
250m row
10 Squat clean thruster 95#
15 Burpee
Rest 3 minutes
For time ~32:00
Look at this nice little short day…hah. The BB gymnastics weren't really surprising, my snatches have not been great lately, so to expect them to suddenly be amazing and to hit a PR would bu unrealistic. Though my first few sets felt quite good, probably due to about 45 minutes of mobility pre-workout. As soon as the weight got higher than 135 my epicondylitis came charging back, ice and NSAID's tonight. Then I played coach a little and tried to help some of my HOA brethren with their Oly work and did some mobility work for 45 minutes or so before class at 5:30. I'm trying to do more WOD's with the class because it really does push me harder than I can push myself. Especially today, instead of the Outlaw prescribed 3:00 rest, we did it as a partner WOD which was fantastic. Fresh off the HOA team vibes I was all about this, I'm not sure if my partner loved it but I was vocal as hell. Pretty sure the class picked up the vibes, because they went for it. I won't take all the credit, but given the option to be done at 20:00 in, not one person stopped, everyone finished. Rowing all out knowing you have squat-clean-thrusters is hard to force yourself to do, the quads were burning. I think the first two sets went unbroken, the rest all got chopped up. Burpees suck, and will always suck. I didn't even think to look at the clock when my partner and I finished – it was around 32:00, but I have no idea what my rounds and his rounds were. We'll call it even, lord this one sucked.
For those who care – my old log and my new log are both still up and public, I update them daily for anyone curious or wanting to catch up in a hurry.
The official photographer for HOA released their pictures today, all 2000, I combed through and found the worthy ones – they're really nice. Check em out below.

Employing citizens to demonstrate their culture and way of life is inherently sustaining. The lodge where this was taken is in the middle of Maasai territory in Tanzania. There is nothing around but savannah where the Maasai graze their cattle. The lodge that is the center of the tourist attraction is made of native mud, dung and sticks. The authentic environment enables to local people to live their lifestyle while entertaining tourists in that environment.

Background: Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the most common health care-associated infection contributing to death. Studies have indicated that there may be differences in the causative pathogens and outcomes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and non-ventilatorassociated pneumonia (NV-HAP). However, with limited NV-HAP-specific data available, treatment is generally based on data from studies of VAP. The Phase 3 Assessment of Telavancin for Treatment of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (ATTAIN) studies were two double-blind randomized controlled trials that demonstrated the non-inferiority of telavancin to vancomycin for treatment of Gram-positive HAP. We conducted a post hoc subgroup analysis of patients enrolled in the ATTAIN studies who had NV-HAP.
Methods: Data from the two ATTAIN studies were pooled, and patients with NV-HAP were analyzed. The all-treated (AT) population consisted of all randomized patients who received $1 dose of study medication, and the clinically evaluable (CE) population consisted of AT patients who were protocol-adherent or who died on or after study day 3, where death was attributable to the HAP episode under study. The primary endpoint was clinical response (cure, failure, or indeterminate) at the follow-up/test of cure visit, conducted 7–14 days after the end of therapy. Results: A total of 1,076 patients (71.6% of overall ATTAIN AT population) had NV-HAP (533 and 543 patients in the telavancin and vancomycin treatment groups, respectively). Clinical cure rates in the CE population were similar for patients with NV-HAP treated with telavancin and vancomycin (83.1% [201/242] and 84.1% [233/277], respectively). In patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated at baseline, cure rates in the CE population were 74.8% (77/103) for telavancin and 79.3% (96/121) for vancomycin. The incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, and deaths in patients with NV-HAP was similar whether patients received telavancin or vancomycin.

Betty Jeanne Berry Sutton passed away in Tampa, Florida on September 16, 2017. Betty was born August 6 or 7, 1928 – depending on the difference between what the doctor mistakenly put at 2 minutes past midnight of the 6th and the actual date of the 7th. Her birthday had always been celebrated on the 7th, but when needing a passport, she discovered the error on her birth certificate. Betty found that you never ask your mother if she is sure about the date of your birth.
Betty was born to Ross R. and Eva Troth Berry in Colorado Springs, CO at then Bethel, now Memorial Hospital. She attended Buena Vista Elementary, West Junior, Colorado Springs/Palmer High, Denver University, where she was a member of Delta Zeta sorority, and the University of Northern Colorado.
She held numerous jobs in her life, the first when in 8th grade at her Father's grocery store, Purity Food Store located on South Tejon St. One of her last jobs was managing an EZ Shop, which became a 7-11. She always loved going grocery shopping and later, when visiting her daughters loved going grocery shopping with them. In between the grocery jobs, she worked at Hibbard's Department Store with the same 2 women her mother had worked with before Betty was born.
In 1948 she married William A. Sutton - they later divorced. While Bill attended CU she worked for Esquire-Coronet magazine in Boulder. She worked for Colorado Springs Utilities, Emerson Electric, sold World Book Encyclopedias, sold memberships to a health spa and delivered The Gazette to paper racks.
She enjoyed participating in many sports – softball, basketball (city championship in 1945), skiing, tennis, golf, bowling and later watching sporting events on TV. She especially loved the New York Yankees teams of the 1940's and later the Broncos. She remembers playing touch football on Pearl Harbor Day and didn't know about the attack until on her way home from Youth League when a neighbor told her and a friend, both of them ran home to tell their parents, they were glued to the radio for days. Betty set up a card table in the living room with maps to keep abreast of troops movements.
Betty left Colorado Springs for several years to live in Phoenix and Las Vegas, returning home in 2005 to the shadow of Pikes Peak. She had recently moved to Tampa, FL to be near daughter Becky and son-in-law Ed.
She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Eva Mae Nichols. She is survived by daughters Penny Sutton Maraglia (Frank) and Becky Ann Kobel (Ed), sister Marilyn Graham, several nephews, one of whom - Jeff Graham who was so kind to her in later years, with whom she enjoyed watching sporting events, especially college and Bronco football.
There will be no services and cremation, per her request.

The National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE) has this morning decided to boycott Israeli Academics who do not demonstratively oppose their government. The Union also congratulated Hamas (a proscribed terrorist organisation [Home Office]) on their electoral victory which has brought the Palestinians close to civil war [Aljazeera 5/18/2006 and Reuters 21/5/2006). There was significant opposition to the motion with the final vote being recorded as 106 for, 71 against with 21 abstentions.
While they may think of themselves as a powerful force of the British elite, in really British academics, or at least their unions, seem able only to create and foster divisions in society - both at home in the UK and in the Middle East. This boycott may only last until the merger in a few days time, but unless people speak out it will set an agenda of division and conflict for the UK, and promote War and the death of innocents on both sides in the Middle East.
With the merger British Academics can choose to put these Israel bashing attacks on academic freedom behind them. The question is, will they?
Please see the Academic boycott resource center for more information:
Monday, May 29, 2006
NATFHE boycott is on!

Death Head in July
From Dark Horse Comics.
When Niles and Justine Burton go camping to get a break from their stressful lives, they expect to find peace . . . not an abandoned village hiding an ancient evil. In a turn of events ripped straight from a horror movie, a brutal killer wearing a plague doctor's mask begins hunting Niles, Justine, and their two kids. Who is the Plague Doctor? What does he want? And how will the family survive?

Celibacy in the Catholic Church: A meditation on failure!
The Church has traditionally always been fair and square right in the bedroom, and what a mess they have made of it!
For years Catholics have been indoctrinated with the idea that sex is evil except in a limited way in the marriage bed. The path to hell is paved with sex, and all sexual activity outside marriage was clear and simple grievous, or a mortal sin. Impure thoughts would land you in hell as much as visiting a brothel.
Life was full of the occasions of sin; states that one was obliged to avoid under pain of mortal sin. Even in marriage anything that was deemed 'unnatural' was sinful!
Good God, no wonder there are so many crazy Catholics in the world with a clergy dedicated to celibacy. With the operate word being celibacy.
It has to be recognised that many clerics have never in their priestly lives had an affair with a woman, but others, we learn, have practised lives of secret debauchery, preying on young boys and girls. These 'charmers' usually kept clear of grown women, and would have had no idea of how to approach a woman and express their desire and love.
These 'priestly charmers' have in the past, when known of, recieved special treatment by a church hierarchy, and been posted here and there to save the reputation of the institution – a plan that never really worked as they usually went on offending.
So much for these gentlemen of the cloth, but what about the poor Catholic laity who had been educated with Jansenistic ideas about the evils of sex.
They went out into the world with twisted ideas which were largely responsible for ruining the sex lives of countless men and women.
The worst thing in life is not getting the love of a woman, but missing out. In old age one realizes this!
Officially, the Church still retains mad and unreasonable ideas about artifical birth control.
A friend of mine once said to me that if the allies during the War had dropped planeloads of condoms on Japanese cities, the Church would have shown more concern over this than the dropping of atom bombs!
In present-day Australia, the clerical abuse problems are highlighted in the following links:
As a Catholic, I can only say to the Pope and hierarchy, do something, and bring the Church into the 21st Century!

Until the moment company is on it's way over. At that point the house is atrocious. Everything seen and unseen needs a wipe down. The toys must go. So do the books. The couches cushions and pillows needs a good fluff. I crack open a window; spritz the air with air freshener. I don't care if I have to break out tweezers that area rug is going to looked vacuumed for once. After thirty minutes of running around like a chicken with its head cut off the house would then be company clean.
I revise the same way. I revise and fix all the things I can find wrong with the story. Depending on the WIP, I may believe the story is the best story I've ever written vs. I have no idea what's wrong with this sucker. I send it out to get a verdict. Go through it again. Send it out one last time. Fix it and believe it is the best story I've ever written. I write out the synopsis or add in the details if I wrote it beforehand. I put in an actual editor's name in the query. I save the document to the publisher's specifications.
And then I think, this is actually going to be read by an editor. Sheer panic ensues. This is going to be read by an EDITOR. Any lines I trip up over gets cut. All the off color jokes that probably were only funny to me gets cut. I add a little more here and there. I whip the font into shape. I triple check the margins. I make sure all the chapters follow a consecutive order. There have been times I've had three chapters eleven. An EDITOR is going to read this keeps going around in my mind. When I get to the point where I'm fine with every single word then the story is ready.
So, there's ready and then there's submission ready. My guess, the story lives in a nebulous unreal world until that moment. I don't get it, but then again my house is clean until company is coming.
Is your house clean until company is coming over? Is your WIP ready until you're about to send to an editor or agent?

God I hate it when shopping sites/magazines use the phrase "mining the sale." Yet that's what I'm doing.
Here's a few things I like in the current Jcrew sale:
I think if I got this sweater, I'd spring for the $10 monogramming.
Is it a boot? Is it a pump? I don't care, I still love it.
A trench cape is my dream, but in the meantime I suppose I could make do with this trench vest.
I love oxford shirts as much as I like subtle novelty detailing. /total lack of sarcasm

Any cheap FISH that is fresh will do for this dish, or it may be made from the heads, fins and backbones of the FISH, used for filets or broiling. Place the heads, fins and backbones of three medium-sized FISH in a deep Saucepan and add
- Two quarts of cold water,
- Two onions, cut fine,
- One carrot, cut in tiny dice,
- One-half bay leaf,
- One-half teaspoon of thyme.
Cover and bring to a boil. Cook slowly for one hour. Now remove the heads, fins and backbones and pick the meat from the heads and backbones and return to the stock.
Now rub one cup of stewed tomatoes through a sieve and add five tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir until the starch is dissolved and then add to the stock. Bring quickly to a boil and add:
- Two cups of diced and par-boiled potatoes,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- Two tablespoons of butter,
- Two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley.
Let boil up once and then serve. This is delicious. One pound of FISH may be used in place of heads, fins and backbones.

Ed Sheeran's waxwork is on display at a cat cafe in London
Ed Sheeran's waxwork is on display at a cat cafe in London.
Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium – a two-storey spot in Bethnal Green for coffee and cake that allows friendly moggies to roam around freely – has agreed to exhibit the figurine of the 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker before it moves to Madame Tussauds next week.
Madame Tussauds announced the news on Twitter on Tuesday (12.06.18) night, writing: "The cat's out of the bag, the amazing @edsheeran is coming to Madame Tussauds London and we can't hold in our excitement! Obviously he's stopped off at @LadyDinahsCats before coming to us. #EDcited (sic)."
The statue sees the chart-topping singer strumming on his guitar while wearing a blue and black checked shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black T-shirt and jeans.
Madame Tussauds decided to leave the waxwork temporarily at the Cat Emporium as they know how much of a fan he is of the little felines – having two cats of his own.
Edward Fuller, manager at Madame Tussauds in London, said in a statement about the waxwork's stop: "Knowing what a pet lover he is, launching the figure at London's renowned cat cafe felt like something the man himself would surely approve of."
This is the first time a statue of the 27-year-old singer has been unveiled in London, and staff have been working on it since 2015, when they took his measurements.
Claire Treacy, of Madame Tussauds London, said in a statement: "We thought it was important to add him. We've been getting requests for a long time, literally one a week, saying, 'When are you going to add Ed?'
"So we thought the best time to do it would be when he's on his mammoth tour and he's coming to Wembley so this felt like the perfect week. It usually takes around four months to make each of our figures, that is the whole process from sculpting it in clay to then making the mould to creating the wax, then wardrobe and paint and hair insertion and then we have the added time to build something in the attraction.
"We have been building a giant guitar, a replica of Ed's own that will stand alongside him, and guests can play it and then his tunes will start playing out in the space."

FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas got its first taste of the Bowl Championship Game experience last season, enjoying its time in the Sugar Bowl spotlight.
FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas got its first taste of the Bowl Championship Game experience last season, enjoying its time in the Sugar Bowl spotlight.
The Razorbacks aren�t part of college football�s prestigious postseason lineup after losses to Alabama and LSU this season. But they can�t tell any difference as they prepare to play Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl.
�It feels like a BCS game to me,� Arkansas tight end Chris Gragg said earlier this month.
Arkansas, which will hold its seventh postseason practice today, said its Jan. 6 date against the Wildcats looks, sounds and feels every bit like its BCS experience in the 31-26 loss to Ohio State last season.
The game features a matchup between top 10 teams who put together BCS-worthy resumes. It will be played in Cowboys Stadium, regarded as one of football�s most glamorous venue. And it�s slated for a primetime kickoff with no other games on during the 7 p.m. time slot.
Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson said all are reasons why there�s no shortage of anticipation from the Razorbacks even though they fell short of their preseason goals of reaching an actual BCS game again.
�When you think of BCS, the first thing I think of is Top 10 teams,� Wilson said. �There�s a way the BCS is arranged they don�t put some of the Top 10 teams in the BCS games. So, really, it�s a BCS matchup. I think a lot of people around the country will be tuned in.�
Arkansas-Kansas State is one of four top 10 matchups during the bowl season, joining three BCS games � LSU-Alabama (BCS championship game), Oklahoma State-Stanford (Fiesta Bowl), and Oregon-Wisconsin (Rose Bowl).
The Sugar Bowl pits No. 11 Virginia Tech vs. No. 13 Michigan, while No. 15 Clemson will play No. 23 West Virginia in the Orange Bowl. So the Cotton Bowl will feature higher-ranked teams than two BCS games.
�We�re glad to go there,� Arkansas linebacker Jerico Nelson said. �That�s where they picked us to go.
�Even though we�re not in a BCS game, we look at it still (as one). When you look at the Sugar Bowl, the teams playing there aren�t ranked higher than us.�
The game, at this point, is being treated by many as one of this winter�s most intriguing matchups.
ESPN.com�s Mark Schlabach recently rated the Cotton Bowl as the fifth-best game on the schedule behind the BCS Championship Game, the Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. His ranking for the Cotton Bowl was higher than one BCS game � the Orange Bowl.
John Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News went even further last week, calling the Cotton Bowl the best of the bunch outside the national title game - period.
�It�s a great matchup,� Arkansas guard Alvin Bailey said. �They�ve won a lot of games, and so have we. They feel like they could have gone to the BCS also.
�It�s going to be a good, hard-fought game.�
Arkansas receiver Jarius Wright believes one other reason for intrigue is the contrasting styles.
Kansas State�s ground-oriented offense, which is led by quarterback Collin Klein, will be a big test for an Arkansas run defense that struggled to stop opponents this season. The Razorbacks, meanwhile, believe they�ll have opportunities for big plays against a defense that is ranked No. 104 in the nation against the pass.
�I definitely think there will be a lot of scoring going on,� Wright said. �It�s the Big 12. I mean, I don�t want to say anything bad, but the Big 12 is not known for defense. They�re known for passing.
�We like to throw the ball. They don�t like to play as much defense. So we�ll see how it goes.�
A strong performance in the Cotton Bowl should wrap up Arkansas� first top five ranking in the final polls since 1977, which also was the last time the Razorbacks won 11 games in a season. It could serve as a springboard for 2012, helping the Hogs potentially earn a top 5 ranking in preseason polls as well.
So, no, Arkansas is not playing Kansas State in a BCS game this season. But when Wilson examined everything at stake against the Wildcats on Jan. 6, he said the Cotton Bowl means just as much to the Razorbacks this season.
�If you�re complaining about being in the Top 10, playing a Top 10 opponent you�ve got something wrong with you,� Wilson said. �Who doesn�t want to play on a Top 10 stage with something to prove?�
