Just recently, I happened to stumble across a new (to me) blog that had some awesome tutorials, lovely cards, and inspiring art journal pages so I knew I had to share it with you!
Her name is Erika Winterlia and she does some beautiful work.
And she has a Youtube channel :)
Most of you know, I am not a huge fan of videos but I am more likely to watch them if they are in fast forward mode...and thankfully hers are!
This is her video that caught my eye - please enjoy it, poke around, and leave her some nice comments!

It's not the same without you
Join the community to find out what other Atlassian users are discussing, debating and creating.
Hello -
I have just signed up for the full (10 users) version of JIRA Core. At the moment I am receiving an "unknown error" message when trying to create a project.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
Hi Brandon,
I would start by reviewing the JIRA_HOME/log/atlassian-jira.log. Reproduce the issue and see what the logs have to say around that time. There is a knowledge base article titled "hmm... we couldn't create your project due to an unknown error" that may be of assistance in this matter. It provides a number of reasons this issue can occur including collation issues, duplicate issue types, etc.
If the information in that article does not help, look for clues around the time you reproduced the issue. As an example you may see an error that states "Created with no associated contexts". If you do see that you will need to refer to the Created with no associated contexts error when trying to create projects in JIRA knowledge base article for a fix.
If the initial article does not help and you're unable to identify the cause from the logs please don't hesitate to post the snippet from the logs at the time when you reproduced the issue and we'll take a look.

Sailboat carrying Haitian migrants capsizes, killing up to 30
MIAMI - A sailboat passing through the southern Bahamas islands with more than 100 Haitian migrants on board capsized, killing up to 30 people and leaving the rest clinging to the foundering vessel for hours, authorities said Tuesday.
The exact death toll remained uncertain. Authorities on scene confirmed at least 20 dead and determined the number could go higher, said Lt. Origin Deleveaux, a Royal Bahamas Defense Force spokesman. Interviews with migrants suggest the toll could reach about 30 people.
The remains of five victims had been recovered and the RBDF and police were working with the U.S. Coast Guard to recover additional bodies before nightfall as they pulled the remaining victims from the foundering vessel.
"Right now we are just trying to recover as many bodies as we possibly can," Deleveaux said.
The capsizing of overloaded vessels occurs with disturbing frequency in the area, the most recent being in mid-October when four Haitian women died off Miami. There have also been fatal incidents near the Turks and Caicos Islands, between Haiti and the Bahamas, and in the rough Mona Passage that divides the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
"Unfortunately we see these types of tragedies occur on a monthly basis," said U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss. "Every year we see hundreds of migrants needlessly lose their lives at sea taking part in these dangerous and illegal voyages."
This latest incident occurred late Monday off Harvey Cay, about 80 miles (125 kilometers) southeast of New Providence, the island that includes the capital of Nassau.
Low-resolution photos taken by the U.S. Coast Guard show about 100 people on the boat, clinging to every available space on the overturned vessel, just west of Staniel Cay. The boat, in addition to being overloaded, likely encountered rough water, Deleveaux said.
By late Tuesday afternoon, the Coast Guard and Bahamian authorities had rescued about 110 people, including 19 women. Deleveaux said there were no children on board.
Migrants have long traversed the Bahamian archipelago to reach the United States. Thousands have also settled in the Bahamas in recent years. Most of those rescued from the boat capsized near Harvey Cay will likely be brought back to a military base in New Providence for processing and eventual repatriation to Haiti.

Jubilee Celebrations..
8 comments:
Hello Jan:ReplyDelete
Your celebrations for the Jubilee really do seem to have been in the spirit of the 1950s and we are sure that you must all have enjoyed yourselves.
We do trust that Mark will soon feel more himself.
I'm impressed with your bunting, it looks fab. Sounds like you really got in to the jubilee spirit. Glad to hear that Mark's op has gone well. I didn't realise it would be a local anaesthetic, it must have been scary for him. I wish him a speedy recovery.ReplyDelete
What a lovely way to celebrate, your bunting really looks the part, I must copy that idea next time we need some!ReplyDelete
I'm pleased that Mark has had his surgery and I wish him a speedy recovery.
Wishing your husband a quick recovery. How fun to celebrate with the Queen! I watched parts on TV from Utah.ReplyDelete
Thank you for your good wishes for Gizmo. I would like to return the good wishes to Mark and hope that he is feeling better very soon.ReplyDelete
Your bunting looks great and what a nice way to spend the afternoon. I missed your last post about your husband, I hope he is soon feeling better.ReplyDelete
And yes, we assumed that scarecrow was Sarah Ferguson too!
Jan, Your bunting is wonderful. It is wonderful how everyone has embraced and put together their own celebrations in honor of the Queen's 60 anniversary. I love tradition.ReplyDelete
I hope your husband soon finds himself healed and back to normal soon. Bonnie
I thought of all of you across the pond this past week...with your individual celebrations and the big one that we could watch from time to time on our TV. What a wonderful celebration and your treats look delicious.ReplyDelete
Hope your hubby gets along OK.Prayers for him.

Let's go rambling
Michael, supported in Southport, is getting active thanks to joining a new Rambling Group organised by The Southport Focus Team.
Michael loves walking and will regularly walk miles to maintain his health and wellbeing.
The Rambling Group is specifically aimed at people with disabilities and a variety of walks are organised weekly to meet the individual needs of its members. Michael's autism means he finds it difficult to socially interact and often prefers to be alone. The Rambling Group has helped Michael overcome some of these challenges by enabling him to gain meet new people, make new friends and be part of his local.
Craig Kelly, Southport Support Worker said: "The Rambling Group creates a sense of care and friendship for Michael, who can often feel lonely and isolated due to his autism. Michael is now able to put his faith and trust in the group; making him feel safe and happy, which is demonstrable of how we are meeting Our Promise."

Favourites: 'Broken City'
Behold 'Broken City' by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso (published in Batman 620-625).
The weird thing about this story is that it really is about as different to any other Batman story that I've probably read. From what I've picked up on the net, this is one of those self-contained Bat-stories that exists with very little continuity therefore making it easier for lapsed readers to jump back onto the title. However, the story, themes and tone makes it less typical than your average Batman story.
As a story, the creators tick all the boxes that are to be expected in this type of work. 'Killing Joke' reference. Sure. Alley-way muggings? Yessir. Brooding near/on stone gargoyles? Yip. Frank Miller noir-feel? Definitely. Rogues gallery? Numerous cameos. Do we get new villains? Pretty cool ones, actually. Murder Investigation? Oh certainly. Plot twist? Big style.
The thing is here, its that 'Broken City' is missing a lot of crucial things that actually add to the overall average appeal of the standard book, and that's why I love it. For example, it is very rare that Bruce Wayne/Batman is written as nihilistic and violent in his representation here. The furthering of the nastiness of this Darkest Knight is helped by the removal of Alfred (who usually earths the Bruce Wayne side of the persona) and Commissioner Gordon (that allows legitmacy and limits upon the Batman's vigilante persona). In 'Broken City' this Batman is damn-nearly out of control: A proper loose cannon in a city of genuine nastiness. A bullying, brooding, border-line nut-job that uses his fists quicker than he uses his brain.
I suppose the major difference of 'Broken City' from standard Gotham fare is the tone of the piece. It is probably the nastiest, most violent, humour-less, depressing Batman story that I've yet to read in the Batman books. I would even go as far to say that the only thing that stops this being an outright Vertigo imprint story is that there is no swearing. The nodded influence of 'Killing Joke' and Frank Miller exists here, not as a cute homage, but to herald these other works as a 'Flashpoint' that could've taken the character on a more mature path. That different path, as the story's conclusion suggests, could have been an acknowledgement that the younger reader may be more mature than they had previously been given credit for, therefore allowing a different breed of Batman to be published.
'Broken City' really is strange anomaly to be published as a Batman story, and because it is so odd I loved it.

Singlehandedly you are stripping the kiwi picking/packing industry of its possible allure for future workers!
When no calls came in Monday morning I realized we had been fired. It was a passive aggressive first and I was immensely relieved. Picking kiwifruit for eight hours was not as fun as I had imagined. The mud slowly seeped into my shoes and kiwifruit dust, like the prickly hairs that coat barber shop floors, fell onto my face and stung my eyes. My shoulders and neck felt sprained and on top of all that we had to listen to our coworker's fanny pack stereo system. His choice of music: female power love ballads. It was really too much to handle.
Tuesday morning dawned with more promise. A girl at our hostel mentioned vacant positions at her kiwifruit packhouse, so we went early and waited an hour to fill out the paperwork. Luck was on our side that day- we filled the last two night shifts at Seeka Oakside.
Later that night, with a cup of tasteless cafeteria tea in hand, we peered out the windows facing the factory floor. The large rectangular machine in front of us, which ran the whole floor of the building, was the one we would be working on. It was a rapid kiwifruit courier system of on-ramps, off-ramps, pedestrian underpasses and overpasses. It was as loud as a busy highway.
The most striking sound came from the small plastic cups which coursed the entire machine. Like a writer furiously jabbing at their typewriter, the cups clacked each time they dropped a kiwifruit. After a few hours I had translated the foreign sounds of the factory into useful phrases:
Get off your ass and work. Now.
Ring ring.
Kiwis are coming.
Clank clank clank swoooosh.
Tuck the bag and press the box flaps down.
Clank clank clank swooooooosh clank clank clank.
Hurry up.
Caw Cawcaw Cawww.
Stay out of here, dirty birds.
Singlehandedly you are stripping the kiwi picking/packing industry of its possible allure for future workers!

I like all of the shiny new goodies showing up at my house theses days, I really do. I like to try them on, try them out, and stare at them on the floor of my bedroom. Things are nice. They can be rewards for our hard work, things that add comfort to our lives, but they can also become the very things that own us. I need to keep reminding myself that all of these pieces of fabric, plastic, and rubber are merely manifestations of something so much deeper and so much more satisfying than their shiny newness would belie. Behind each piece of gear is a person, a story, an act of generosity that I hope to remember long after the objects have outlived their usefulness. So if the house burns down tonight, if all of my shiny new toys turn to ash, I'll still have kept the heart of what this whole trip is about; generosity, compassion, belief, and strength.
Thanks to the people who give meaning to all of these gifts.
"Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." Arundhati Roy

Looks delicious, doesn't it? It is. And it's the first hot chocolate that I've had since going dairy-free almost a year ago, so I'm savoring it. You can too!
Dairy Free Hot Chocolate Mix
3 c. coconut milk powder OR dry goat milk powder (Meyenberg is what I used, though it does have a taste to get used to)
2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 c. cocoa powder (use the good stuff, it's worth it)
1 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips (again, the good stuff)
1/4 tsp. salt
Throw it all in a blender or food processor until it's finely ground and well mixed.
1/3 c. mix to 1 c. hot "milk of your choice"
Enjoy! 🙂

text: Let the two numbers be \(x\) and \(y\), Xanthe's numbers is \(x\) and Yvette's number is \(y\). Since \(x\) and \(y\) are consecutive positive integers, \(x+1=y\) or \(y+1=x\). If \(x\) is one, then \(y\) only an be 2, since they are positive integers, but Xanthe didn't know first Yvette's number, so \(x\neq1\). If \(y=1\), then \(x=2\), and if \(y=2\), then \(x=3\), but Yvette didn't know first Xanthne's number, so \(y\neq1, 2\). Next time Xanthne knew the number, \(x=3\), because then \(y=4\) for sure, and if \(x>3\), then there are two cases, so Xanthne wouldn't know it. So \(x=3\), and \(y=4\).

The Singing Saw!
Just re-listening to Deserter's Songs and an idea for an utterly pointless thread struck me between the eyes!
Which song contains the best use of the singing saw?
Pointless! My choice is the They Might Be Giants album filler James K. Polk.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh0IqC8Chr4 at 1:40 min.
I can't think of which songs unfortunately
but I know Julian Koster plays Singing Saw on a few tracks on In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, all of which would probably make this thread, as well as his album "The Singing Saw at Christmastime"

MEASURE E: Asks whether the city "shall loan or give any money . . . to assist in the construction of a multipurpose convention center at the Ventura County Fairgrounds."
MEASURE F: Asks whether the city "should . . . continue to work with the Ventura County Fair in the financing and / or improvement of facilities at the Ventura County Fairgrounds."
Critics of a large convention and exhibition hall planned for the Ventura County Fairgrounds have sharply criticized the Ventura City Council for adding a second measure on the issue to the November ballot.
Judy Eldeb, a leader of the Save the Fair Committee, said the move by Ventura officials was confusing and an insult to the grass-roots drive against the 120,000-square-foot building, which some fear will be an oversized white elephant at odds with a country-flavored fair.

We are 360 miles northwest of San Francisco, finally. This has been a long trip. Last night we had 30 knot winds throughout the night with 12-16 foot swells. So it was a little rolly. We were on a beam reach headed for San Francisco but eventually had to head down a little bit and take the seas slightly on the port quarter. I will have to make up the southing later. The seas are down to 9-12 feet with the occasional 16 footer rolling through. It's amazing sitting in the cockpit and watching the top of the wave crest tower above me, and then either pick Camanoe up and roll on through, or break on us and cover the boat with a ton of water as we careen down the side of the wave. Regardless, Windy the wind vane senses the swell picking us up and reacts by correcting the wheel before we start to slide down the wave. Unfortunately, it's wet down below. Not bad, but I do have some towels strategically located in the worst spots. Not surprising as we have been submerged for 48 hours and Camanoe's deck hardware has not been cleaned and re-bedded in 26 years. The factory used Butyl tape instead of 4200 or similar sealant. I'd say it's done an excellent job!
Today I began picking up VHF weather reports on Ch. 1 and 2, in addition to some AM frequencies. It's nice to feel connected once again. I don't miss the AM news stations though. It seems to be the same unimportant, exaggerated story repeated over and over.
On a funny note, or sad, in the rough weather last night the lure on my fishing pole escaped and deployed itself. I didn't have the drag set very tight so at 7-8 knots it payed out. When I reeled it in this morning there was nothing left but a bent hook and a set of fish lips, perfectly round with no body attached.

on monday instead of blogging i was travelling back to sunny n7 from rainy tokyo.
it's nice that the platform for the narita express is the furthest platform to get to
at shibuya station.
this was me taking a breather and photographing my luggage on the schlep to
platform 4.
and this was me taking a breather and photographing me when i finally got to
platform 4
hmmm... my jacket isn't really that bright by the way.
patiently waiting for the narita express, this is what i looked down onto.
a heap of camo.
mandarina duck suitcase, muni carry on case ( which went into the hold )
converse backpack and bape x porter shoulder bag.
oh and a can of coffee.
i did the old fast track thing through check-in and in a matter of moments i was
larding it up in the japan airlines lounge
wading into what my friend alan batter would term "free piss"
i looked down at the floor
and noted my new camp bapestas, strawberry kitkats, sock club london socks
and my passport.
was i irked that the carpet pattern didn't run parallel to the wall ?
was i the first passenger onto flight ba006 from narita to heathrow t5 ?
yes i was.
did i opt for meatball pasta instead of the vegetarian option ?
does the pope shit in the woods ?
though i was pleased to see england's green and pleasant land,
i was a little disappointed to note that the british airways plane was as
filthy as a frenchman.
what ?
at baggage carousel 9
was i so busy photographing my new sneakers that i didn't notice one of my cases
go by ?
you may think that...
... i couldn't possibly comment.
when i got through to the arrivals hall the first thing i did was to bump
my trolley over to costa coffee and grab a flat white.
in fairness it was surprisingly decent.
i tried to be miserable about missing japanese coffee and being back in the rubbish
london weather.
but in fairness, the coffee was good and the weather was miles better in london
than it was in tokyo.
so i smiled to myself.
well, i looked miserable but inwardly i was happy.
the end.

Happy Release Day! This month's release is filled with warm wishes and holiday cheer. I am in love with the many holiday stamp sets, which offer creative inspiration for each crafty perspective from the traditional to the contemporary. So go ahead, grab a cup of coffee and prepared to be inspired.
Who doesn't love twinkling, colored Christmas lights? This card features the Share the Light stamp set and coordinating Little Bits Christmas Bulbs dies. I love the flexibility of this set. There are various images of lightbulb strands to choose from or you can go wild and create your own. The coordinating Little Bits dies allow you to customize your bulbs for that personal, creative touch.
I created my card by stamping various lightbulb strands across the top of the card front. Next, I used my Little Bits Christmas Bulbs dies to create miniature lightbulbs of various colors. I used the circle die from the Pocket & Pages 3x4 Circle Showcase die to create my shaker, Christmas ornament. (As a side note, the Pocket and Pages 3x4 Circle Showcase coordinates with the Little Bits dies collection for added creative versatility). For a little added flair, I embossed the ornament background using the new Taylored Expressions' Sheet Music embossing folded. A healthy smattering of glittering sequins and my cheery and BRIGHT Christmas card was complete.
Thanks for stopping by today, crafty friends! If you would like to see more projects featuring this month's amazing products, please head on over to the Taylored Expressions Blog for a complete list of participating designers! You will be glad you did!

A few images to keep you going till I get back to work in the shop. That roasting dish I am esp. fond of. It's sold now so I'll have to make some like it soon.

At IKON Dental Group, we strive to ensure a comfortable and professional experience. Our skilled dental team is committed to providing individualized and quality care, and uses only the most advanced technology and modern dental procedures to ensure a beautiful smile!
"I wholeheartedly recommend IKON Dental Group in Plainville! Dr. Khan is very professional and very personable! Dr. Khan takes the time to make sure you're comfortable and to explain everything in layman's terms. Another bonus is the great location with easy parking and a beautifully decorated and calming office. If you want a dentist that truly practices putting the patient first, Dr. Khan is it!"
– Alicia M.
"The service you receive is not typical from a dental office. Dr Khan explains everything he does before, during and after your treatment. He doesn't make you feel like you have to have the service he recommends. He makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I recently had 2 fillings repaired that were over 20 years old and didn't feel a thing but my mouth was also not totally numb so I was shocked at how well the local anesthetic worked. This is definitely a dentist you can trust. I forgot to mention that he grew up in New Britain and lives in the area."
– Cynthia O.
"As someone who avoids the dentist if at all possible i was nervous to step foot inside….however once inside i was warmly greeted and assured i would be treated as a VIP plus. I was more than amazed that not only was everything talked through beforehand, but any concerns, no matter when thought of,were addressed immediately! I left free of the pain that had finally driven me to seek the help of a dentist, and found myself making additional appointments to correct the issues I've put off for so long. Thanks to Dr. Khan not only will i finally get the smile I've always wanted, but now i can do so without fear or pain!"
– Joe M.
"Always having anxiety and not being a fan of the dentist I wouldn't have known that today. What a pleasant experience – not nerve wrecking at all and calm and easy! Even the X-rays were a breeze!!! I definitely recommend Dr. Khan and will definitely be back and be bringing my family."
– Stephanie M.
Our experienced staff at IKON Dental Group are excited to begin working with the community to deliver honest and excellent dental care that every patient deserves. Our new, state-of-the-art office allows us to provide the best treatment possible in a comfortable setting. We believe that great dental care is not only essential for a healthy smile, but a healthy and happy lifestyle as well. We invite you to find out what makes our privately-owned practice so unique and how we can exceed your expectations of dental care.
Preventative dentistry helps to avoid the formation of cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more for healthy, happy mouth!

Lineless always looks awesome - did you just take out a line layer, because it must be really hard to make sure all the colour covers where the lines would generally go.

"The Church Fire"
Campo Indian Reservation, Ca
The deep smoke from 30 miles north, and made its was all the way down to Dana Point, where I spent most of my childhood.
What a etherial experience waking up to billowing smoke flowing through Yosemite Valley. There are multiple fires burning in Yosemite National Park's wilderness. The Empire Fire is located in Yosemite's Wilderness and was reported on the night of July 31. This fire is being managed for multiple objectives, for both protection and resources. It is approximately 1 mile south of the Bridalveil Creek Campground, between Alder Creek and Bridalveil Creek. This fire had stopped us from reaching Glacier Point by vehicle, because the road still remains closed.
I created this aspect ratio with a full frame 14mm lens, on a APS-C Sony a6000. This is a 12 vertical frame panoramic image, contains 6 vertical frames panning horizontally at 0 deg. and another row of 6 frames at -30 degrees. Merged and processed in Adobe Lightroom CC.

Omer Laser Maxi Spearfishing Knife
|review this product
Omer Laser Maxi Spearfishing Knife
The Omer Maxi Laser Knife is an ideal knife for spearfishing. It comes with a 13.5cm blade which is made from stainless steel and a stainless steel hammer on the rear of the handle. It has a twin locking sheath system which allows for easy extraction with only one hand, yet prevents the knife from falling out if bumped. This particular blade is longer than a standard knife which gives it an advantage, you can brain the fish quicker and easier with less effort. This Omer knifes are known for quality, however they are not to be used with rough hands. The blade is extremely thin and there fore can not be bent or twisted when killing a fish, a inwards and outwards action is to be used for this knife. Coming with leg straps, you are able to place it on your calve where it is easy access when needed.
When spearfishing, the main reason you would be carrying a knife is to kill the fish after you have caught it. As long as you know the correct way to do this, it doesn't matter how large or small the knife is as it will always do the same job. The best way to use this knife once you have caught your prey, is to place the tip of the blade directly above the head and in one sharp stab, you will hit the brain to give an instant kill. This may take a bit of practice as you will need to get the correct spot on the first time, rather than attempting this over and over again, potentially stressing the fish, which you ideally do not want to do.
Other uses for a spearfishing or freediving knife are to be able to cut line or rope if you happen to get caught up in it or your spear gets tangled. The holes in this specific knife also allow you straighten out the tip of your spear if you worst case hit a rock and it bends. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at Dive Warehouse on the Gold Coast where we can answer any question regarding sparfishing gear.

Uh, who are you guys?
The organising committee consist of chief whip Howsy, deputy whip Desiderata, crazy whip Freelunch2020 and whiplets Lucia Lai, Nat Tan, politikus and Mob1900.
Okay. So why organise such an event?
We thought it should not merely be a regular mee rebus gathering or limited to only a certain few that could attend; but should be an event for us to commemorate and reflect on for all bloggers (and their readers interested of attending) who care about the socio-political happenings of the country.
Great. What's the event going to be like?
First, you register and find a seat. We will then have a brainstorming session and a forum; with guest speakers giving talks, followed by anyone on the floor voicing their opinions freely. It would not be long, perhaps 2 hours or so. This would then be followed by with dinner of course, and even a party session afterwards!
And how much do I have to pay?
RM30 pax, and this price already includes the buffet dinner (special rate of full menu), and other forum facilities offered at a discount. Desiderata is also negotiating a discount for drinks from the bar for those who are not 'soft' :)
What's up with holding this in Lake View Club?
Although offers have been made for it to be held at the National Press Centre, The Bar Council or The Selangor Assembly Hall, these places do not serve food as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong). Some of us would also shy away if they know this event is to be held at such a high profile place. Our regular journalist/blogger, Desiderata has already offered to get a place at the Lakeview Club Malaysia in Subang Jaya where halal buffet is served there and full conference facilities are available there (plus he could get a better offer there, hopefully).
Buffet? Yum. What's on offer?
Buffet spread at Restoran Kampung Ku (halal) includes: Curry chicken with potato / Thai style chicken, Asam stingray / sweet and sour fish slices, fried egg foo yong / sambal egg, fried spring roll / fried sotong ball, curry vegetables / mixed vegetables, crab meat tofu / mince meat tofu, fried mee hoon, fried rice, mixed fruits and orange cordial.
Wait a sec. Are you guys affiliated with Bloggers United or have anything to do with the whole NSTP vs Jeff and Rocky pow-wow?
It's NOT a Bloggers United initiative. Our initiative was from a group of bloggers acting on a concerted one-off event to mark World Press Freedom Day which starts on 3 May and ends on May 20, 2007. So if some other group/s would be inspired to put one up next year to make this an annual do, we say yeay! We have generals Sheih Kickdefella and Susan Loone's blessings though :)
* * *
We have ran out of questions to ask ourselves. lol. If you have any general inquiries, pop them into the commenting box below and we'll post them up here as they come in.
* * *
How do I get there?
You can also Wikimapia it!
What's this 4th and 5th estate business?
From our understanding, the estates of the realm are the institutions needed to run a country and each estates checks and balances the other.
The 1st Estate is the Executive, the 2nd Estate is the Legislature, the 3rd Estate is the Judiciary and the 4th Estate is the Media. It is now being said that the 5th Estate is the Blogosphere.
What are my (public) transport options?
Well, the most convenient way to get to Lake View Club is by KTM Komuter. If you hopped on from KL Sentral, just buy the ticket from KL Sentral to Subang Jaya, it costs you RM 1.60 for single trip.
The KTM commutor operate at 20 minutes interval. From Subang Jaya station (just near to Carrefour and Subang Parade shopping mall) to Lake View Club is about 700 metre walk. If you are health conscious, you can walk to LVC. If not, pay RM 1.00 to board a commuter bus which is en route to Sunway Pyramid or USJ, drop down at Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) bus stop, walk toward Sheraton Hotel. LVC is just behind the hotel.
The last train from Subang Jaya to KL Sentral is 11:00pm. Make sure you don't miss it. Well, if ever you missed it, taxi to KL only costs you RM 15 ~ 20.00.
For more info on KTM, pls surf the KTMB site or call 03 – 2267 1200 for customer service.

I believe it is extremely important to develop a strong working relationship with the County Board and maintain open communication channels. Working together will only enhance the county's abilities to provide the highest level of service to the residents of DuPage County. I believe a key critical component of developing and maintaining this relationship is to develop a level of respect and understanding for each other's (the board and the sheriff's department) needs and desires. Maintaining this understanding and working together to resolve differences will foster strong working relationships and promote open communication.
I strongly believe one of the most important factors in law enforcement today is making sure all law enforcement officers are trained to handle situations involving those who are in crisis and / or suffering from mental illness. As a police officer who is crisis intervention team trained, I strongly believe the content and experience gained by attending the 40 Hour Crisis Intervention Team course is invaluable. It will be my priority to make sure all law enforcement officers within the Sheriff's Department receive the 40 Hour Crisis Intervention Team training approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board as soon as possible.
I will also work to develop and implement a county-wide Rescue Task Force model. The Rescue Task Force model will train law enforcement and fire department personnel to work together at the scene of an active shooter type event to provide rapid life-saving medical care and extrication of those who are injured during the incident. This is a concept that is not foreign to police and fire departments, however, developing the rescue task force model on a county-wide level is extremely important to ensure a seamless emergency response with clear understanding of everyone's responsibilities while maintaining the overall goal to save as many lives as possible.
I will further explore the feasibility of the implementation of a body camera program. While I fully support the use of body cameras, I believe it is important to fully understand the impacts (financially, operationally, logistically) prior to committing to the program as this is a long-term investment which will have re-occurring financial requirements.
It is extremely critical for law enforcement organizations to develop and maintain strong relationships with the communities they serve. It will be a priority of mine to further build on the established relationships and develop new relationships in communities throughout DuPage County. By building and enhancing strong community relations, the sheriff's department can demonstrate through our actions, that law enforcement is not only about enforcing laws, it's about caring for and helping our community. There will be a focus on establishing and maintaining trust within the communities we serve.
It will be my priority to ensure the residents and visitors of DuPage County are served by a professional law enforcement agency whose core values and mission represent the utmost level of integrity and accountability. Only the most qualified candidates will be hired and promoted, free of political influence. Misconduct will not be tolerated and those engaging in any misconduct will be held accountable.
Combating the Opioid Epidemic will be a continued priority which will be fought on multiple fronts.
Community Outreach / Education – We must work to educate the community of the dangers of opioids and the need for early intervention. We must ensure the appropriate community-based services are available to assist those who are directly or in-directly affected by this epidemic. Enforcement – Partnering with local, county, state and federal resources to aggressively target the sale of illegal drugs. We will expand the use of canine detection teams and use technology to aid in our enforcement efforts.

Mystery Teapot
Unfortunately at the time, I couldn't find the maker's identity.
I included it in the post anyway because it's such a great piece.
I like the lovely glaze variation. There's lots of planes and surfaces to show it off.
Three oval loops - each an individual statement, yet relating nicely in oval form to each other and giving a wholeness to the piece.
Round-y additions that pop the mass and give references to each other, moving the eye. The bold statement of the spout.
Design rule going on here is 3 oval elements; 3 rounds and one strong variation.
Today, the maker of the pot contacted me. She is a potter who works in St. Louis and her name is Yael Shomnoni. You can see more of her work at http://www.yaelshomronipottery.com.
Nice to hear from you, Yael, Great Work!

Rapid improvement was found at a Sheffield school by inspectors who praised excellent leadership from its headteacher.
Wharncliffe Side Primary School has been rated 'good' – up a grade since its last check up, when it was found to require improvement.
Annie Leach, headteacher at the Brightolmlee Lane school said everyone was delighted with the outcome of the inspection.
Inspectors from education watchdog Ofsted said that from different starting points, pupils of all abilities were making good progress in reading, writing and maths.
Teaching was found to be good across the school and aspects of it were becoming outstanding, with marking of pupils' work often exemplary.
Pupils with special needs in the school's integrated resource unit were particularly well supported, so they made good progress in their learning and personal development.
Inspectors said provision for the youngest children was effective and they were making good progress because their teaching was good.
Behaviour was good both in lessons and around the school, and pupils said they felt extremely safe.
An exciting curriculum and the culture of the school was leading to the provision of outstanding elements in the children's spiritual, moral and social development.
Senior staff were found to be making rigorous checks on the quality of the school's performance and teaching, which were both improving and ensuring the school was continuing to get even better.
Governors had reviewed their roles and were now proactive in finding out for themselves what was happening in school and how well pupils were achieving.
They were also ambitious to improve the school still further.
Inspectors felt there was still work to do on improving teaching even further, particularly to boost the pupils' spelling, punctuation and grammar.
And the children did not always display their methods of calculations in maths, so were unable to check their answers accurately for errors.
Mrs Leach said: "The children, staff and governors have worked tirelessly to bring about improvements.
"As always, we are grateful for the support we receive from our parents, carers and the community we work in.
"Our school is a very special place and we want to go onto even greater things."

Two weeks ago, I attended the momstown Spring 2013 Conference at Fern Resort in Orillia, Ontario. Like many of my colleagues, I feel that this conference was much different than the previous two. But I also recognize that I was different coming into it. I started momstown Victoria in June 2012, so I have one year of experience behind me, and I am no longer a "newbie." I had attended two previous momstown conferences, and returning to the comforts of Fern Resort and the sorority of the momstown team felt like I was returning to my "home away from home." Not to mention that I was no longer distracted by leaving an unweaned baby behind, 4000 km away. So I was looking forward to being able to focus on both my personal and business development, and I was ready to "lean in" to everything the conference had to offer.
|From left to right: Kim Edmiston from Georgina; Karrie Copelli from Barrie, Patricia Roy-Papineau from Ottawa, Sarah Ryan from Missisauga, myself from Victoria and Tracy Newman from Brampton.
|A rock star cake for a rock star team, made by a member from momstown Georgina & East Gwillimbury.
The conference kicked off with a presentation by Ann-Marie Burton on the history of momstown. Not only did this put my first year of owning a business into perspective, but it also set the tone for the entire weekend. On Saturday, we took focus in the morning with an archery lesson, and in the afternoon we met with Jennifer Bodenham, owner of Gleaming and Dreaming and life and career coach.
|Taking focus with an archery lesson. From left to right: Janine Foot from Edmonton, Kelly Hodgson from Oakville, Kristin Heimbecker from Edmonton, and Erin McNamara from Niagara (who hit the bullseye!)

|Birthday planning on the patio. From left to right: Sam Kassam-McFie from Milton, Tracy Newman from Brampton, Janine Foot from Edmonton, and Sarah Henshaw from Burlington.
Highlights of the conference included team exercises in program development and sharing best practices among the chapters, and we also enjoyed the archery range, swimming pool, hot tub, cabins, hammocks, dining room, conference room, and gorgeous views at wonderful Fern Resort. Thank you to Fern Resort for all the delicious meals, food trays and coffee, and for making us feel like we were "home away from home."
|Gorgeous view of the lake.
|Swimming pool - just before I did a cannonball! ;)
|Trying out the hammocks.
Thank you to to Mattel Game On for sponsoring our momstown games night! Apples to Apples made me laugh so much my sides hurt!
|Apples to Apples, Mad Gab and Blokus were all a hit.
|Love those Popped Hummus Chips and Quinoa Bars.
We also each took home bright orange momstown goody bags, which included a detangling hairbrush and elastics from Goody Canada, personalized labels from Mabel's Labels, a box of Alpha-Bits (my kids love it) from Post Cereal, and full-sized bottles of adult and kid gummy vitamins (another family favourite) from Adult Essentials. Thank you to all of our national sponsors for continuing to support what we do, which is to support thousands of moms, kids and babies at the family and community level. Bravo!

Hiring New Staff: Writing the Perfect Job Posting
June 25, 2014
When hiring new staff, half of the battle is getting the message out to the right people. These 4 tips will help you pinpoint the right kinds of information to include in your job posting to attract qualified applicants that are the right fit for your business.
1. Know what you're looking for.
Create a T-Chart of the requirements versus the preferred experience and qualifications of job applicants. This will help you visualize what is needed as a perquisite for the applicant, versus what can be taught or acquired on the job. By dividing these two sets of information, you are defining and separating the primary responsibilities of the job (prerequisites) from the frills that would make the perfect candidate. Being able to clearly separate these items in your own mind will assist you, not only in writing the job posting, but throughout the hiring process.
2. Know who you're looking for.
Briefly describe the personal traits of the ideal applicant. Are you looking for someone highly organized who can accomplish a lot in one day? Or are you looking for a creative type who may take their time getting inspired and gathering their thoughts, but deliver an original idea in a big way?
Odds are, nobody is going to match the description you come up with perfectly. However, this short paragraph can really help an applicant tell if the position is the right fit for their personality. If the candidate you hire is going to feel under or overwhelmed by your typical workday, they won't stick around long enough for you to recover your hiring costs. Remember, in the long run, employee turnover is something you really want to avoid. It's costly and lowers the morale of other workers who get stuck picking up the slack. Even the most dedicated employee will have doubts about your business when they notice no one else seems to be sticking around.
3. Sell them on the company, not just the job.
Write a short paragraph summarizing the culture of your company and the benefits of working there. Add information about benefits or additional training offered. Mention awards or nominations the business has received to attract highly qualified candidates. Include impressive growth or satisfaction statistics to attract those applicants looking to build their reputation and their careers with a solid business. Someone who is interested in a career will want to improve your company to improve their personal resume. They are driven toward success. It is your job while writing the job description to show them how your company can help get them there.
4. Give applicants a deadline.
When an applicant comes across a job posting, it could be a few months old. Promptly take down expired job postings and include a time estimate for when the new position will start. Including a phrase like, "accepting applications through June" or "looking for immediate hires" will give the applicant an idea of how long they may have to wait on a decision. If you don't find the right candidate within that timeframe, it can always be extended by revising the post. This can prevent a lot of extra work for your staff when it comes to fielding phone calls and inquiries about the position before and after it gets filled.
Finalizing your draft and post the listing.
Now you have all the information you need to put together the job posting of your dreams. All that's left is assembling it. When writing, remember that you aren't just listing a bunch of qualifications. You are trying to hook the right kind of talent and personality for your business. You want applicants to be excited about working with your company from the beginning. Your final draft should come across as an exclusive invite to join your company, rather than simple job description. Try writing a few different versions using varying lengths, verbiage and formats. Then, decide which approach is the best match for your business and run with it.
For maximum exposure, post your job listing to at least three different places online and in print—such as your website (which will attract individuals interested in your company), a local print medium (to attract local talent), and an online job database (to attract all kinds of qualified applicants). Most individuals looking for jobs will search online at some point.
If you run into trouble with character limits when posting, don't immediately rule out that medium. Remember, you can always write a teaser and include a link to the full job posting on your website or another online source. (Ex: Want to work for a cutting edge business with room for growth and friendly coworkers? A coaching job at ______ might be for you! Go to ______ to read our full job listing!)
Don't be afraid to put the post out there. You can even promote the job opening on your social media pages or with paid advertisements online. When it comes down to it, the more exposure your job posting gets, the greater the odds of reaching the right candidate(s) for the position!

One thing that links all of the variations of Handel's Chaconne in G Major is that they all are only 8 measure long. The first variation is a rhythmically simplified version of the original. All of the variations are in some form of triple meter. The second variation remains in 3/4 time and instead has the original bass in the melody and its elaboration of in the bass. The third variation goes into 9/8 time and its melody consists of almost all triplet 8th notes. The bass of this melody still retains the original rhythm almost completely. In this variation the original bass part returns to the bass of the bass of this variation and the melody mirrors the bass of variation two only in triplets instead of straight 8th notes. In Variation 4, the original bass again takes residence in the melody and a reproduction of the melody of variation 3 in the bass. While the chord progression remains the same for all of the variations, here we see the first obvious change of the accompaniment, bass-like, block chord part. It changes so that there is only one beat per chord in a given measure with rests in between the chord changes. The melody elaborates on the melodies of the previous variations. This is the first introduction of the sixteenth note into the variations. Variation 6 is basically the inversion of variation 5 with all of the same rhythmic texture. Variation 7 has the melody with continuous sixteenth notes and the bass has a similar line as Variation 5. Variation 8 is basically the inversion of variation 7 with the addition of a first and second ending.
All of the first 8 variations are harmonically identical. They all share the same chord progression and utilize similar harmonizations with different time signatures and rhythms. The shorter bass note length causes a more upbeat, happy, dance-like feel to come to the music.
The major variations are grouped by two. Variations 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8 all correspond. They usually are the inverted versions the other in the pair. They all have the same harmony and chord structure. There are times in the minor variations where the melody and the bass switch parts back and forth like in Variation 13 where the melody goes from eighth notes to sixteenth notes while the bass goes from sixteenth notes to eighth notes.
All of the minor variations' bass lines go in a downward progression.
This piece would probably be seen as a large form of rounded binary because of the movement from G major to G minor and back and the identical chord progressions of the first and last sections.

|M's certificate for me (independent writing)
Whilst I understand why most mums enjoy school runs (anything for a cup of coffee and a natter), I find it very taxing to the point that I always look for an excuse not to do it. But that's not the reality of life. It seems that school runs are part of my responsibility being a stay-at-home mum. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or anything and sometimes the rush is partly my fault as I myself also take ages to prepare. What I could do is just to have better planning to prepare myself, urge M to have her breakfast and change without a lot of shouting and finally, also get the toddler ready.
|And here I am in the school walks that I loved - as a
graduate student at the University of Oslo in
Norway a decade ago.
Me and my dislike for random walks without an intended destination. Has my weekly target been reached? Ticked.

Newsletter of the nation's first Audubon songbird sanctuary.
Audubon New York to implement a "reimagining" of the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center.
Please be patient while we embark on a series of improvement projects at the Sanctuary.
We have so many amazing volunteers that help us at the sanctuary with education programs, animal care, trail maintenance and so much more. Many don't realize that we also have some very dedicated naturalist volunteers that travel with us to local schools and state parks to engage children with nature in a different natural setting.
Our For the Birds! (FTB!) multi-sessional program culminates with a field trip to either Sagamore Hill NHS or Jones Beach State Park. These FTB! volunteers are vital in helping to ensure that every child makes a connection to nature and gets answers to their questions. I asked Susan Kessler, one of our newer FTB! volunteers what she thought was the best thing about the FTB program and trips and she said, " the enthusiasm that the kids showed. They were so excited to use binoculars, even seeing a robin. They were really connecting with nature. The curriculum and process is great and not repetitive." We could not make these teachable moments happen without their dedication, support, and expertise. Thank you to our amazing volunteers!

Well I'm on a diet, I guess
Today I had one of those bad days when I really miss home food. The meals that I had today were awful. Don't get me wrong I love Chinese food, but today I just picked the wrong dishes. The lunch was in our canteen, it looked good, so I picked that one. And that's it, just LOOKED good. Grhhh.
The dinner - ahhh. I went to the other canteen, the girl at the counter misheard me (I hate when this happens), so I got something else. It was too late to change it, cos the canteen was closing, so I threw it away. Again. I feel bad when throwing food. What could have I done? I tried it , but it was tasteless.
Went to the local shop, bought some small pies, and yogurt. Oh, the yogurt is sweet in China. I don't like it at all. I want real SOUR one.
Well, I can always say, I'm on a diet. I don't need too much food, right?!

That food looks so yummy! I certainly se how you would miss it. The pictures are so good, they make me want to dive right in :-)
I went to China once, and also found much of the food quite tasteless, not at all like I had imagined it.
And I am reminded of a scene from the TV show "Friends" where Ross is going to China, and Chandler says: "Oh, you'll get to eat a lot of chinese; of course there, they just call it food!"
Stay warm! :-)

Meeting George!
This week, our task was to complete our "Daily No Exceptions." The first step was to read an article and write a narrative of what happened before or after, so this is what I imagined.
Kevin and his friend, Tama grew older and became famous All Black Players. They were just like the old man George Nepia who taught them how to kick. Both boys had good couriers too.
Tama and Kevin became the two best kickers in their group. Both of them let everyone know their story when they met George in their young age.
Thank You Dakota for checking my work.

Getting to Know: Trish Marie Dawson
Hope everyone had a good Holiday and looking forward to the New Year and this week's Author will be the last for this year. No Worries there will be more next year. :)
If you are not sure who Trish Marie Dawson is below is some of the books she has written so far.
What do you like to drink in the mornings?
Trish: Coffee or water
Me: Coffee here lol
When was the last time you were nervous?
Trish: Last time I drove on the freeway, when a van swerved into my lane. It's California, after all.
Me: I don't drive knowing me I will get nervous if I get behind the wheel lol.
What Type of music you dislike most?
Trish: Anything that screeches and screams louder than my children.
Me: I hear you on that one.
Do you have any superstitions?
Trish: Sure, lots of them! Not throwing salt over my shoulder, or being freaked out by ladders. But I have some. The only one I follow religiously is staying clear of gutters. The first Stephen King book I read was IT when I was only 12. I avoid gutters and sewer drains like the plague, even though I know there's no clown living in the sewer. At least, I sure hope there isn't. Which is why I still pay attention to those things.
Me: Yeah I caught some of the IT movie yeah I'm good on that so I don't think I can read the book I might have a freak out moment in my dreams lol.
Which boy band was your favorite when you were younger?
Trish: I have never been into boy bands. But I did, and still do, love Bon Jovi. Does that qualify?
Me: I will let that qualify cause if my corrections right it's all guys any how lol.
If you could paint a picture of any scenery you've seen before, what would you paint?
Trish: Well, this is tough. I've been through half of the United States but, and this might sound funny, I find the ocean beautiful. Even though it looks the same to most people, I think each wave is its one little world. I'd love to be able to paint the ocean from a boat out in the middle of the Pacific.
Me: I think that would actually be cool and I don't think it sounds funny at all.
Thank you so much for answering these random questions for me. If you would like to know more about Trish you can follow her with the links below.

Aromar Revi: Co-creation is the only way to move forward
Aromar Revi is a practitioner, consultant, researcher and educator with over a quarter century of inter-disciplinary experience in public policy and governance.
As a story teller, Aromar, takes us through an incredible journey in India – a country with a long history, hundreds of different spoken languages and many diverse, living cultures.
India is a place where the main historical periods of the country can all be found in one building. The culture of pre-colonialism, the colonialism, the post-colonialism and the informal co-exist together in armory. The informal is represented by all the poor people who live aside from the conventional society. But how can be possible that all those layers in India are connected, and how are the Danes linked to Indians?
The answer may sound obvious: We all live on this Earth, sharing the same resources. This fact ties everyone to each other. In the end, physical distances and cultural gaps become less evident when we consider that we have just one world to live in. This is what connects us all, and within this frame, co-creation is the only way to move forward.
In this video clip, Aromar Revi explains and elaborates on the concept of 'hope'. He believes that, "Hope is among the strongest values for Indians."
According to Aromar Revi, hope is a common part of every human being. It is the driver that makes people overcome the daily challenges that life presents.
In India, a lot of people are under 30 years old, and they want to improve their lives. This could have a positive outcome also for the people in the community in which they live. Those young people are able to learn new things and have new experiences. They see that the world is different and diverse, and those experiences give them the strength to see that things can be changed.
Moreover, another value that should be transmitted between generations is the capacity to do more with less, being able to respect the community, work together without being very competitive and respect other people for who and what they are. The Danish people could learn something in this regard.
In this video clip, Aromar Revi gives us some insight into cycle culture in Denmark and India.
In India, bicycles are mainly used by poor people. Cycling is, for them, the only option available. It is different in Copenhagen where everyone rides a bicycle not because they can't afford a car, but because it is more practical, faster, healthy, and non-polluting.
Even if the Indian and Danish realities are different, from the weather to the people, Aromar Revi believes that India should change and become similar to Copenhagen in this respect. In fact, having efficient cycle paths and cycle parking facilities would improve Indian lives and reduce the number of daily car accidents. It would save lives and transform the city into a more environmentally friendly place.
These video clips were recorded by Mik Aidt of the Danish Cultural Institute during the conference 'Sustainability and Peace: Dialogue and co-creation across cultures' held at Arken Museum on 13 September 2012 as part of the 'India Today Copenhagen Tomorrow' initiative, and the summaries ware written by Inanna Riccardi.

Didn't I say netbooks were making a comeback? Well, I don't know what else you'd call this development. Engadget has the dirt on Asus' newly announced EeeBook X205, a $199 Windows 8.1 laptop that bears the iconic netbook brand name.
According to this report, the EeeBook X205 has an 11.6" 1366x768 display, an Atom T3735 processor, 2GB of RAM, either 32GB or 64GB of built-in flash storage, and two years of cloud storage subscriptions adding up to 300GB. The battery is rated for up to 12 hours of web browsing, and the system weighs 2.16 lbs, or 980 g.
The EeeBook X205 will reportedly be available "some time between late Q3 and early Q4 this year." I'd expect it see in stores in time for Christmas, in other words.
The first machine to bear the Eee brand was the Eee PC, which launched in June 2007. It featured a 7" screen, a Linux-based operating system, 2-4GB of flash storage, and up to 3.5 hours of battery life. Asus subsequently introduced 9" Windows-powered Eee PCs, which set the stage for several years of netbook popularity. These days, the Eee brand is connected chiefly to Asus' line of convertible Android tablets.
