Excerpt: Superclass
Gentiana is a small restaurant that would scarcely warrant a second glance in any other village in Europe. It is rather traditional, only slightly more charming than the bland shops and modest hotels around it. One nearby storefront offers a remarkable array of Swiss Army knives, another boxes of chocolates, another fur hats and mountain gear. The restaurant has a cozy, neighborhood feel to it. Beside the door there is a blackboard highlighting a few specials, and on the ground floor there may be seating for twenty if they are both thin enough and friendly enough. Upstairs there are a few small rooms for private parties, the biggest of which seats ten people squeezed in on either side of a long narrow table. Most of its character comes from a feel of woody intimacy, the dark wood façade, dark wood floors, dark wood tables. In fact, for all its charm, it is definitely not a place for claustrophobes—or people with an extreme fear of splinters.
The reason to go to Gentiana is the fondue, especially the cheese fondue, which is offered in robust portions that recall an era before cardiologists. My wife, Adrean, has a special weakness for fondue, and every year that we have gone to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos we have gone to Gentiana for her birthday. We make reservations long in advance because during the week of the January meetings, which are attended each year by more than 2,000 business and government leaders from around the world, getting a table at Gentiana is not much easier than getting one at renowned eateries like Aragawa in Tokyo, Gordon Ramsay in London, or Le Bernardin in New York. Perhaps more surprisingly, for that one week the clientele at this humble Swiss bistro looks pretty much the same as what you might find at those world-class restaurants.
Of course, even during that week, there are still a few tables at Gentiana occupied by locals. One regular is a particularly garrulous drunk who loves to hobnob with the CEOs, heads of state, and rock stars who are wedged in, elbow to elbow, spinning hunks of bread on long forks in the pots of bubbling Gruyère. The local speaks only Swiss-German to the polyglot crowds around him, and few understand him, although judging by his demeanor the casual observer is not sure whether that has to do with the language he speaks or the local beer that he favors. No matter. He smiles and they smile, and the general effect is cheerful and relaxed.
One afternoon during a recent Davos, my wife and I were hurrying along the sidewalk on our way to Gentiana. This can be dangerous, as the locals do not shovel away the snow and ice lurks just about everywhere. In fact, attendees at Davos can see with some regularity central bank governors and senior executives of the IMF and other distinguished middle-aged men and women swaddled in cashmere, calfskin, and politically incorrect pelts of many origins launched skyward, only to land on their broader, softer regions. We walked gingerly, therefore, but with purpose, knowing we were meeting our friends in just a few minutes.
The weather was typical. A light snow was falling. It was very cold. But the Alpine air was crisp and dry and invigorating. We chatted about the meetings, who we had seen and who we hoped to run into. As we walked, we reflexively did what most of the visitors to this small mountain town do: We glanced at the people passing us in the street, trying to determine who they were. (Given the nature of Davos, they were likely to have been somebody.) It's a ritual made easier by the fact that everyone at the meeting has to wear a badge around his or her neck at all times. The badge is used to get through the many security checkpoints—there are at least two Swiss soldiers and policemen in Davos for every delegate who attends the meetings—to register for sessions, and to let everyone know who you are. Your name is on the badge, along with the organization you represent. So too is your picture. People tend to walk with their badges dangling in plain sight so they don't have to fumble with them getting in and out of buildings or past police. That's how it was for everyone except for the universally recognizable—people like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Tony Blair, Bono, or Angelina Jolie. The badge-scanning move is so ubiquitous you might call it the Davos dip: Bend the knee slightly, cast a subtle glance downward, assess and move on.
Leaving the Congress Centre and walking along Davos's main street, the Promenade, we passed Thierry Desmarest, the CEO of Total; a small cluster of Harvard professors; a senior executive of Saudi Aramco; and a woman pulling her two small children on a sled. (She was local and the sled seemed to hint at the reason they don't shovel the sidewalks.) We stopped briefly to chat with Tom Donohue, the CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who happens to be my wife's boss, then paused a few steps later to chat with an Indian-born U.S. venture capitalist with whom I had some business. It was a typical sample. Five minutes along the Davos Promenade in January offered a cavalcade of freeze-dried economic leaders from three continents.
About two blocks from Gentiana, I was grousing about how one of the conversations that I had most wanted to have had resulted in a frustrating series of near misses. The objective was a long-delayed chat with Paulo Coelho, the Brazilian author of The Alchemist. Coelho has sold more than one hundred million copies of his books worldwide and is, after the Harry Potter author, J. K. Rowling, the second-best-selling author on the planet. He is also one of the few cultural regulars at Davos, one of a handful of people who might offer a different perspective on the Davos zeitgeist. We had intended to meet almost a year earlier but, due to a series of scheduling mishaps, had repeatedly failed to do so. Finally, we aimed for Davos, but I had yet to lay eyes on him. What did I expect from a man who lived on the other side of the world and was constantly in motion—a Brazilian who lived much of the time in Europe and sold many of his books in Russia? There was a little bit of hubris in thinking we might ever be able to end up in the same place at the same time. And then: "Oh, my God," said a voice I did not recognize, "it's you."
A smallish man in a fur hat was staring at my name badge. He had a graying goatee, and he greeted me like a long-lost cousin. It was Coelho, appearing almost miraculously out of the Alpine mist as if conjured by our conversation.
Passing along the sidewalk from the Congress Centre where we had just heard an address by the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and comments from the Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, through the stream of big name boulevardiers, and then walking directly into this icon of the global literary scene—it was made clear again that Davos was truly the incarnation of Marshall McLuhan's global village. It was like small-town Planet Earth, or the once-a-year Brigadoon of globalization: a community connected to everywhere and, in one way or another, to everyone. Indeed, during the course of this meeting, top trade ministers would caucus to try unsuccessfully to rescue global trade talks, Africa activists would meet with corporate chiefs and political leaders to seek funding for medical aid programs, global warming would "go mainstream" as mostly American skeptics were persuaded by session after session of expert views, and proponents of different solutions for dealing with everything from anxiety about immigrants to anxiety about terrorism would present their views directly to those in a position to implement them. If, as Hillary Clinton has asserted, it takes a vill

We present "frontman" of Hostel Tresor Ljubljana, Gregor. He says smiling and satisfied guests "create" a well informed and experienced staff. The atmosphere in the hostel is very relaxed, which creates many bonds of friendship.
Gregor, you have been working in Hostel Tresor more than a year now. How do you find overall atmosphere here?
"This question automatically makes me older. Good thing that we are open barely one year and a half. The atmosphere in the hostel is much more relaxed and informal than in the hotels where I worked before. Communication is like that as well. Hostel's guests are closer to me in many ways and that's why so many friendships have been created. "
What makes the hostel unique?
"Hostel is already special because it mostly does not reside only guests, but travellers. They do not want to learn only about the tourist attractions of Ljubljana, but they want to meet also local people and of course people from the hostel. They come because of the good reviews and interesting story, which represents the hostel. And memorable stay while you due contacts who stays generated. We strive to offer our guests the most with various travelogues, concerts or with renting longboards. "
Describe yourself in one sentence.
''You're not you when you're hungry.''
You work as a receptionist. Why did you decide for this job? What does this work mean to you?
"Working with people is like constantly working on yourself. I like when guests feel more relaxed or smiling because I receive them on arrival. Or when I give them some advice and then they enthusiastically thank me and shake hand. But to do this you need to know and understand a lot of things. The experience and first-hand information are crucial here. The reception is frontline and eternal challenge. I cannot imagine that I could ever do anything else. "
With which guests do you connect the most?
"Guests at the hostel are usually young at heart, curious and adventurous. Of course you have exceptions, but mostly I understand their thinking and expectations. So the people who come to the hostel quite suit me. Gregor likes you :)"
Could you share with us any interesting anecdote?
"I have plenty of them. I can only say... What happens in Tresor, stays in Tresor. *wink wink*"
Hostel Tresor is a perfect starting point for exploring a green city because it is located in the very centre of Ljubljana, in a former bank building, close to the famous Prešeren Square and the Triple Bridge. Each room is named after one of the world's currencies, and the walls are decorated with quotes of famous people. Breakfast is served in the biggest ''safe''. Hostel Tresor also offers free Wi-Fi and air-conditioned rooms.

text: Tonight we did our annual pumpkin carving. Talia, Kayli and Aidan carved their pumpkins all by themselves. This was the first year Aidan carved his with no help. He did a great job! He designed the face and cut it out with no help at all. Talia made a bat on hers and Kayli did a scary face with spiders on the side. The twins had help from Daddy in making a "happy face" (Jared) and a "scary face" (Riley). They all had a great time. Afterwards I roasted the seeds from the pumpkins. We have enough to enjoy for several days. Lots more pictures on flickr. If you are't on my contacts list and want to see them, send me an email.

The slow X-ray pulsar SXP 1062 and associated supernova remnant in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Oskinova, LM, Guerrero, MA, Hénault-Brunet, V, Sun, W, Chu, YH, Evans, C, Gallagher, JS, Gruendl, RA and Reyes-Iturbide, J (2012) The slow X-ray pulsar SXP 1062 and associated supernova remnant in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 8 (S291). pp. 459-461.Full text not available from this repository.
SXP 1062 is an exceptional case of a young neutron star in a wind-fed high-mass X-ray binary associated with a supernova remnant. A unique combination of measured spin period, its derivative, luminosity and young age makes this source a key probe for the physics of accretion and neutron star evolution. Theoretical models proposed to explain the properties of SXP 1062 shall be tested with new data. © 2013 International Astronomical Union.

New ethnic bigots for Peter King .... violate hate laws
OK I put in the violation of hate laws part, but isnt this statement a criminal offense???
But the furor over Park 51 and more recent controversy over Congressman Peter King's hearings on Muslim radicalization have provided a mainstream platform for Hindu-American activists, while simultaneously diversifying the ranks of anti-Islamic protesters.
"We're requesting all Muslims: If you don't help us, we have no other option," said Sahani on Sunday, speaking at a demonstration about what he considers inadequate Muslim-American cooperation with law enforcement agencies. "We have to stop immigration of all Muslims - that should be our ultimate solution. God bless America!"

เกมออนไลน์Boeing lays off 1000 workers
Boeing just laid off 1000 workers in Southern California, according to the Orange County Register.
The move comes just a day after Boeing agreed to a $19 billion deal with China to produce 200 airplanes for the country.
The layoffs affect workers in the company's Long Beach, Anaheim, and Huntington Beach facilities. The bulk of the layoffs will occur in Long Beach, where 900 will lose their jobs.
The company has been consistently cutting jobs in Long Beach. It had 20,000 employees there in 1990 and now only has 7,000, according to the Long Beach Press Telegram.

wikileaks - too good to be true?
Am I the only one wondering if there isn't something a bit fishy with this Wikileaks stuff? There is nothing, at least so far, really damaging to anyone, in the sense that it might spark a mass uprising and popular revolt against the US Hegemony - but there do seem to be a few things that are actually possibly going to help them, at least in terms of pushing "public opinion" in a direction they want it pushed - i.e. the Arab countries (apparently) against Iran???? my my, that certainly hinders the US attempt to vilify the country prior to some kind of attack.... and CSIS and others think Canadians are living in wonderland and need to get serious about 'terrorism' ??? Again - this is detrimental to US interests in what way?

Right is Sheikh Hammad Muhammad Kassim the former Chief Kadhi, Sheikh Hamad! Photo: the Friday Bulletin
It was another step forward for Kenyan Muslims despite the massive challenges (and now the bigotry of the Evangelical Alliance) they face; as a new University was established. The Ummah University will be situated in Kajiado, 70 KM south of Nairobi and will offer both secular and religious courses. Kenyan Muslim entrepreneurs, well wishers, politicians and the Africa Muslim Agency are financing its construction.
This will be the second fully fletched University Muslims own and run in Kenya. There is also the Kisauni and Thika Islamic Colleges which have University college status too. It is a positive sign, it is maendeleo (development) and I hope Minister Muhammad who hails from Wajir district (my hometown) will be up to the task to serve the community and the nation. As the Kiswahili proverb says: 'haba na haba hujaza kikaba (little by little, fills the pot), I hope these small steps will make us reach the pinnacle of success.

text: I've just had my 8th admittance for dehydration. I've had very badly managed hyperemesis gravidarum from my hospital. I'm wondering what your treatment was like in hospital as all trusts in the UK follow different guidelines for hg. How did you feel when discharged? I was discharged with 2+ ketones still very low blood pressure lower than normal for this pregnancy and I was still tachycardic and vomited 7 times that morning bringing up about 400ml in total between 6am and 11am when they discharged me. I raised my concerns but as I'd reduced my ketones and was kind of keeping some fluids in they said it was safe to leave. Did they have you not vomiting at all before they discharged you? Was any blood pressure or heart rate issues normalised before discharge? Did they want you ketone free? I have a friend who is a midwife in a different county and she's shocked by my care so I just wonder whether it's different everywhere or I'm expecting more than I should. I'm not nhs bashing I work for NHS and in general they do an amazing job!

Sorrow, Fury, or Doubt.
The 'Primary Vice' is an essential bit of humanity lost to the fall of grace of man from the pinnacle of their evolved might. Although many believe it to be a moral snare placed in man to overcome and earn his place in afterlife. This flaw is not counted with in the allotted 12 points Flaw Points but will be balanced by currently unnamed and unknown merits customized to each player.*
This flaw may be normally as repressed as you want it to be, may bubble to the surface temporarily – representing your personal reaction to violent physical, emotional, or psychological turbulence in the game world. As adventurers, your characters may be somewhat prepared and hardened to seeing the horrors of war, man's inhumanity to man, or other less than natural experiences – so any trauma will represent extremely personal afflictions or an alien supernatural horror. Certain types of magic use or magic items may directly affect this mechanic.
Every character is required to pick one primary vice which will be represented by one sub-vice.
Sorrow, Fury, or Doubt.

In The Irish News - Sep 20 1996: Injury forces Peter Canavan out of Tyrone SFC final
PETER Canavan will miss the Tyrone Senior Championship final because of injury, it was confirmed yesterday.
Canavan has still not recovered from the ankle injury sustained in a heavy challenge from Meath midfielder John McDermott in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Faint hopes that the Errigal Ciaran captain might make the decider against champions Carrickmore were dashed yesterday when it was confirmed that the game, rather than being postponed, has been brought forward by 24 hours because of the All-Ireland final replay.
The Tyrone final will be played at Omagh on Saturday week at 4.30, despite attempts by the Tyrone County Executive to have it postponed until October 6.
But the request was turned down by the Ulster Council as the date clashed with the Ulster Club Championship clash between Castleblayney and the Tyrone winners. Canavan, top scorer with record-breaking totals in the domestic championship for the past two seasons, has played no part in this year's series.
He missed the first round victory over Dungannon through suspension, and injury ruled him out of subsequent ties against Galbally and Beragh.
The final will feature four members of Tyrone's All-Ireland semi-final team. Opposing Canavan's brother Pascal will be Carrickmore trio Seamus McCallan, Brian Gormley and Ronan McGarrity
POSSIBLE firsts.
1: A Derry man winning an Antrim championship medal at the first attempt.
2: Cargin's aim - to be first backto-back winners of the '90s and the first since St Gall's in the early '80s.
Just two factors that make Sunday's county final at Casement Park (4.00) more mouthwatering than Opal Fruits.
And there's more. St Paul's, unbeaten in all games this season (17 to date), are league champions.
Cargin are county champions.
For one Derry family, Sunday will be a special occasion, a unique event.
When Hugh Tohill joined St Paul's from Swatragh at the start of the season, he had every confidence his new club could win the senior title.
His inclusion could see big brother Anthony show up at Casement Park, cheering on an Antrim team, rather than adding to Saffron woe with his talents.
Hugh Tohill has to his credit an All-Ireland medal, one Derry minor accolade and a Sigerson gold but no senior club championship medal.
"It would be great to get my hands on a senior medal because I never won one with Swatragh.
"I believe St Paul's can win this championship although we are playing the champions and there are no two better matched sides in the county," said young Tohill.
"My first game for St Paul's was against Cargin in the league. They are a big strong outfit, physical and fast.
"We beat them that day and went on to win the league but that does not matter on the day of the final."
ONE pound a round is all it would take for Darren Corbett to fight Ray Kane, the Belfast cruiserweight claimed last night.
The November 5 bout at the Ulster Hall looks like turning into a real grudge match after Kane, in yesterday's Irish News, hit out at Corbett saying he "no longer wanted to beat him" but to "smash him up".
The two cruiserweights were due to meet in an Irish title showdown in the Ulster Hall on September 3 but Dubliner Kane was forced to pull out due to a injury sustained while sparring.
But as tension grows between the two, the fight all Ireland wants will surely go ahead on November 5.
"I never set out to insult him in any way,'' said Corbett.
"But now he's saying I said all sorts and that's not true.
"This fight is no longer about money. I'm happy to fight for a winner-takes-all deal. "I'll fight for a £1 a round if Barry Hearn gets it on.
"It's personal now and I will prove to all the people of Ireland that I do not need Ray Kane.
He needs me badly and he knows it," said Corbett.

ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y. - The Monroe Police Department is introducing a new program in an effort to curtail drug use and get drugs off the street in Orange County.
As officers continue to see firsthand, the impact of addiction, the department introduced the Monroe Police Law Enforcement Assisted Drug Abuse Support (L.E.A.D.S.) to safely and swiftly help addicts shake their habits.
According to the department, "those suffering from addiction feel hopeless and powerless to escape its grasp. We have seen the pain and suffering, lives ruined or ended too soon and we have seen families torn apart over it.
"Our goal is to reduce the impact of substance abuse by encouraging those who suffer from addiction to seek treatment and recovery to promote a healthier and safer community."
L.E.A.D.S. is a program for residents who are hopeful of overcoming their addictions, allowing addicts to enter the police station, hand over any drugs and paraphernalia without consequence and ask for help. Instead of being arrested, police will assist in obtaining treatment, detox, rehab and recovery.
Police noted that they will continue to pursue the arrest and conviction of those selling narcotics in the community.
"Drug addiction is a disease, and those suffering need help. We at the Monroe Police Department believe that there is hope for recovery from addiction and we are here to help, not judge. The stigma associated with substance abuse and opiate addiction is over."

Superman rough
I have an image of what Superman looks like in my head buts its hard to capture so i do allot of sketching trying to work him out.

Your roughs are lot of fun. Very old school which to my mind is the only way to go. Very animated and full of life, too. I'm glad you make a decent living in the storyboard business, but stuff like yours is definitely needed in th comic book biz. I detect a couple of influences, correct me if I'm wrong, but i see some Alex Toth and Don Heck in there. Best of luck and continued success. Would be curious ro see a sample of the storyboards which I can already sense will be right on the money.

Ex-vicar accused of historic sex offences 'found dead after failing to appear in court'
Trevor Devamanikkam's body was reportedly discovered at his home yesterday
AN EX-VICAR accused of historic sex offences is believed to have been found dead after failing to turn up for a court hearing.
Trevor Devamanikkam's body was discovered at his home in Witney, Oxfordshire, yesterday the Oxford Mail reports.
It's believed Devamanikkam was discovered by cops after a warrant was issued for the 70-year-old's arrest when he didn't arrive at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court yesterday.
The ex-vicar was facing three charges of indecent assault and three counts of serious sexual assault without consent all relating to a man aged 16.
The offences were allegedly committed in the 1980s when the age of consent for homosexual activity was 21, and the charges were brought under a law from that time.
Devamanikkam was a vicar in Bradford at the time of the offences.
The Oxford Mail was told by the ambulance service that it had been called to an address in Witney but did not attend after cops confirmed the man it related to had been dead for some time.

The Surprising Truth About Burning Fat
It's almost like deciphering a conspiracy to get the truth
The truth is that professionals have been using the same fat burning principles for decades. It's not new to them and I'll share them with you in a moment. Just remember that these are mostly just 'industry secrets'. It's not surprising that we've been kept in the dark at all costs…
Plus with all the confusion going on in the mainstream about what works, what matters, what's silly, what's harmful…etc most people, like me, have a hard time sifting through and finding out what's what.
Marketers make white lies and false implications to make a billion dollars. If you go on bodybuilder.com and ask a question everyone starts to disagree with each other and the conversations sometimes get heated. It's like, what the hell are we supposed to do to get this stubborn fat off?!
I was close to just giving up. I started to get so fed up with trying new things that it got to the point where I would just think "I'll just have to be happy with the way I am and die this way".
Luckily for me I'm not one to give up that fast.
I pushed hard I made a discovery that turned my world into a vortex of hardcore shredded results. Ok, I'm exaggerating a little, but that sounds cool anyway.
In reality, I simply started to find out what professional bodybuilders, who already have success, are doing. These guys don't really care about what the mainstream says. They only care about one thing… RESULTS.
I thought, "these are my kind of people!" so I started to really read books from certain bodybuilders who I admire and not from armchair experts who have phd's and all kinds of theory knowledge. Perfect examples of these people are like the dude that made the atkins diet or who wrote "The Zone".
Anyways, I realized that these bodybuilders are exploiting a pretty simple insight.
In a nutshell, these people are simply supercharging their metabolisms through principles of natural human physiology. Obviously, the results will vary from person to person based on their genetics, but the principles are all the same.
It's your metabolism that, if is slow, will burn fewer calories, and when fast, will burn more calories. They've learned to speed up their metabolisms so fast that they are simply a calorie burning furnace while they eat, sleep, poop, chill in the hot tub, walk along the beach with a margarita in hand while people stare for miles around. And it's pretty easy to do.
The second thing they do is make sure they maintain themselves at a comfortable level of fat. Instead of being at 3.5% body fat… having that RIPPED look 365 days per year… they cycle their regimens to only "peak" at 3.5% before photo shoots or competitions.
So there you have it. It's all about your metabolism. Learn to super charge this the way the pro's do and you'll be able to maintain an average healthy look pretty easily… or you can use it to pack on lots of mass without getting flabby… Or you can chisel your abs down and get that ripped look every man envies. The same principles apply.
If you're curious to learn more about exactly how to burn fat by accelerating your metabolism and using the tools the bodybuilders and fitness models use you can go to www.youtfitassist.com. Explaining all of that here would take way to long anyways.

That strawberry scissor fob is fantastic! I love the fabric you chose. Very appropriate for spring. Sorry your weather took a turn for the worse. It's rainy and muggy here. The humidity has been awful the past week. But, that's part of living in Alabama. It's just early for it to be so bad. But I'm not complaining. The garden is loving it. :) Melissa

Ted gave me this excellent novel, and, because I am who I am, I read the whole thing with gusto. It was like a romance novel with none of the steam, but all of the predictable plot; happily engaged Polly moves to South America, falls in love with the stern but gentle lawyer Nicholas Plataro, who may or may not be a spy for the Nazis. It was great to see my name in print so many times! I'm watching the Tonys right now, and I have to say, it is satisfying so many needs; my inner drama geek is reveling in all the cheesy musical performances, and my inner GEEK geek is really excited to see the song from "Spamalot!" after the commercial break. Don't ever say I tried to hide these things from you. Also, just for the record, Ghostbusters II was on this afternoon, but I resisted yet again. I feel a sad, though; like something's missing...a little empty space in my heart where Peter Venkman could have been.

Did you know there is a Ghostbusters Box Set coming out in July? I think I might need to get it for you....but would that ruin the chance broadcast? Sometimes it is better to stumble across something, and let it chear your day, than to plan the joy. What are your feelings on the subject Polly?

Busy day today. Darryl D was back in town, so the wharf area got some work done. Ralph had also done up some more dummy containers for the container ship - looking good indeed now.
Bruce Hagaman was into doing the square hole in the helix as well as more on the track work around that area.
Me, I got into the foam again and added a bit more to the river scene. Peter A and I where bandying around a few ideas on Saturday after I mentioned that some were asking where was the road bridge I'd mentioned many moons ago. So a bit more height was added on the right hand side so that we can get the minimum 100 mm clearance above the track. Then we can add an old fashioned wood bridge.
So you can imaging the main road coming from left to right on the yellowish bridge above. It will sort of veer off slightly to the left into the skyboard. The dirt road will then come from the top of the back foam block and jump over via a wooden bridge to the front block. From there it will meander down to the farms or grazing are at the right.
I also dummied up the main road bridge that goes over the river. I expect maybe a modernish concrete structure may be the shot for the cars and trucks to use. This bitumen highway or main road will cross the river and disappear into the skyboard pretty much as soon as it makes ground on the right hand side. From this main road a turnoff onto a dirt or maybe poor grade bitumen road that uses a wooden bridge to get to the front of the tracks is in order. This will allow the boys designing the rolling hills and farmland to have a country road through the area. This in turn can end up at the cattle yards that John H is working on.
I also added in some more foam for the base of the hill/mountain at the base of the peninsula, while Barry got in and added some timber to act as safety rails around the hole under the mountain and then got into arranging how to hold the foam around the tip of the helix so some scenery can be added. Some fingers of 4 mm ply will stick out of the last loop on the helix proper, and this will act as a ledge for the foam blocks to sit on.
The other day I'd cut some ply out of the deck to the left of where the rain silos will be near the mountain. Into it I had glued some foam, today I did a quick carve out of it. This will allow a drainage ditch to be modeled there.
Now, let's see.... what will I do on Saturday? MORE FOAM WORK !!

Reckless drivers increase the risk of harm not only for motorists but for pedestrians as well. For instance, a reckless driver speeding through an intersection recently hit a pedestrian and dragged her under his vehicle before coming to a stop. Albany pedestrians should be on the watch for reckless drivers in order to minimize their risks of being involved in a car accident.
Reckless driver drags pedestrian in car accident
Texting and driving is on the rise in New York
As if the streets of New York were not already dangerous, new research shows that two-thirds of Americans admit to texting and driving. Texting and driving has led to an increased number of distracted drivers, which is a major cause of many car accidents.
Fatal accident in Albany prompts calls for action
Lawmakers and city officials are scurrying to make changes at an intersection where a pedestrian was recently killed in a car accident, but this is unfortunately little solace for the family who has to deal with the loss of a loved one. One concerned citizen said she has been complaining for years about the number of drivers that speed through that very same intersection. While no amount of traffic signs can completely stop negligent drivers, lawmakers are hoping to at least reduce the risk at this particular intersection.
Man charged after fatal 2012 motorcycle accident
Motorcyclists are often at greater risk of injury and death than those in cars. Anyone who has been injured in a motorcycle accident understands how dangerous riding the vehicles can be. But it's important for victims of motorcycle accidents to remember that they have the same rights as any other driver. If you are struck by a negligent driver, you have the same rights as car accident victims.

It appears federal funds won't be available to start long-term repairs at Petoskey's storm-damaged breakwater this boating season, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff member said.
"I don't see any chance that we could come up with something in '07," said Dave Foster, an area engineer at the Corps' Grand Haven office.
But several members of Michigan's congressional delegation are seeking to get repair dollars budgeted for fiscal 2008, which begins in October.
A 50-foot section of the breakwater's concrete cap was knocked away during a March 2006 windstorm. Later that year, the Corps piled 3,500 tons of stone in and around the gap to shore up the structure temporarily.

I was thinking about it, and why are Communism and Socialism bad?
I don't know about other "Western" countries, but the US tends to view the two things in a very negative light. Communist even being a derogatory term, no doubt stemming from the Cold War where it likely meant something akin to traitor.
But what's really so bad about it? We tend to crusade for Democracy, but Democracy has absolutely nothing to do with Communism or Socialism. It's Capitalism which is the difference, and even a Capitalist state needs some form of socialism. Medicare, or universal healthcare as most wealthy nations have it, is a form of Socialism. It's a very critical part of society, and it's Socialism. In fact, so is Welfare. Actually, I think they're moreso part of Communism than Socialism, albeit Communism is Socialism just taken a step further is it not?
So what's so bad about Socialism and Communism, really?
From what I understand, the distinctions are: From each according to his ability, to each according to his deeds (socialism). From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs (communism).
People say, well, it just leads to the oppression of civil rights. Why do the governed get no say? Why would Democratic Communism not work? Remember: Democracy is a system of government, Communism & Socialism are economic policies – it just so happens that most Communist states end up ran by Dictators. I think that most people forget this.
I think a limited Communist state would work. A Democratic (or rather Geniocratic, as I'd prefer it) government, and a Capitalistic free market for the majority of the economy. Then, the top x% that make more than $y, that money would instead go back into the system and be dispersed among the rest or used for the Socialist/Communist programs such as welfare, healthcare, and education.
For instance, that whole "we are the 99%" movement for the redistribution of wealth of those with the top 1% of wealth that made surplus of $506,000 annually – because who needs more than that, really?
We have executives making $XXm+ a year, atheletes making $XXXm+ a year, celebrities and music artists making $Xm+ a year… these are clearly not the most important members of society, but rather just the top end of consumption. But the problem with a pure capitalistic state, in my opinion, is that without caps on wealth then the wealth of a nation just stagnates in the coffers of a small percentage of the wealthy while the rest of the nation state suffers.
So what I'd do is say… if your income is more than x% than the average annual income then any excess wealth will then be redistributed back into the population, in large part going to fund socialist programs (healthcare, welfare, education), but the remainder redistributed.
It could be done through taxes, where the wealthy get a very severe tax beyond a certain income, and the redistribution is done for others via a tax credit in a proportional equal amount depending on their reported income after the socialist programs.
It would be, basically, a more extreme version of our current system… just with caps and limiting of economic loopholes. I mean if you made $500,000 annually, I don't think anyone would be able to say you were bad off… but you wouldn't be so far above the rest of the population that you controlled a majority stake in the entire economy.
What do you think? I mean I'm not an economist, but it sounds good to me.

You know, but you don't. You know in your head, but not in your heart.
And God is gracious nonetheless.
So often, God has not given me what I wanted. Despite knowing in my head that He loves me, I believed that He didn't know/didn't care/didn't see/didn't understand why He really should say "yes" instead.
I could look at it from a human/teacher perspective and see why "no" would be both necessary and beneficial, but at times, I could not for the life of me see why He wouldn't give me my own way.
To look back now on just the last 10 years- the years since I graduated from high school and went to a university I didn't want to attend in a state too hot for my taste by myself- is to see a little bit of why God's "no" was so kind, even if I didn't feel it. So many details of my experiences have prepared me for the next adventure.
Moving alone to ASU means I've already done the away-from-your-family thing, though not like this.
Finishing my degree means having a profession to use in ministry to missionary kids.
Five years of teaching experience means less anxiety professionally, time to teach kids with various needs, learning with different administrators, and more.
Interviewing in January to join One Challenge means less time to raise support. That means that I am just more sure it is God, not me, making it happen!
There are many more details, but suffice it to say that I am so grateful that my loving Father didn't say "yes" a moment earlier. His ways may be hard to understand at times, but His wisdom and love are unsurpassable.
To be sure, there will be more times to hear "no" in the future; likely, I will not understand. But I do believe a little more, deep in my heart, that God is gracious.

Since we won the 1st 2 games, there was no need for a 3rd, {thank goodness!}
We do not have a game tonight for the team we were supposed to play has dropped out, so we now have a "bye." Guess it's a blessing in disguise, for I think I would feel like I was playing in sloooowww motion after Wednesday and Thursday! LOL That is according to my DH. The team we're on apparently hasn't played in many, many years! Oh boy! Well, I need to slow down some?!
Our weather was no better this morning than it was yesterday! I mean, the thunder and lightning were horrendous! It's after 10 am now, and it has finally slacked off. There was a front coming thru and on the weather it was really close to passing over us! I hope it has! I need to get to the spillway and take some pictures. They closed all the locks last week! The river had already crested, so there was no need to keep it open. I want some "after" pics.
Below is another Digi layout I did. I really need to upload some "supplies" to the laptop. It's easier for me to "play" on the laptop because I can sit with the kids while they are playing in the living room. Can't go in my room where the desktop is, can I?
Anyway, these are pictures of my little "ray of sunshine" today, Lexie. She is such a kooky 3 yr old! Lord help her teacher next year!!!
The second picture is my PAD4M. It is of today's calendar day. Wasn't about to go outside and take another picture of the weather! Anyway, this was given to me by my neighbor across the street, who also scraps, for Christmas. I have saved the preceding days in a dishwasher tablet tin I "altered." I hope to use the papers for other scrapping items!
Well, I hope that everyone enjoys their day, wherever you are and whatever the weather is like! I will post my PAD4M pictures accordingly! Have a good one.
Blog ya later......................

Hey Vee (love that!) -
Look at you out there - go girl!!! Lexie is an absolute doll. And, I didn't know you had a doxie! Our family has owned 3 since I was 4 y.o. My parents have had mine (Chelsie - she's 16) for several years now because DH and I have moved so much. She's pretty much their dog now. The only reason I didn't get another doxie (although my jack r. is supposedly a doxie mix) is because I feared how one would fare with my 3y.o. ball of fire! Don'tcha just love Doxymama's pics?! :)
And, as for the rain, we're in El Paso, so we're lucky to get 8 inches a year...but it is sprinkling today! Happy Friday!

'Love Island' is over. Done. Finito.
Hurts to even see those words, right?
And while we all wonder what we're doing to do between 9 and 10pm every night for the next 10 months, one person who has summed up the pain of it ending is Alex Brooker.
The 'Last Leg' star admitted he is struggling to come to terms with the series being over in a brutally honest tweet he posted during Monday (24 July) night's final.
He tweeted: "I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without #LoveIsland in my life. And I've got over losing a foot."
He's not the only one not coping though, as fans were pretty emosh as the series drew to a close:
One fan had even recreated the villa on 'The Sims' so they could keep on watching the antics of Olivia, Chris, Kem and co:
However, there were plenty of lighter moments to be enjoyed during the final - mainly from Chris Hughes' reunion with baby 'son' Cash Hughes:
Although after Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies were crowned winners, some people suggested he should have lifted the crown with another of the Island's residents:
The good news is that it has already been announced that a fourth series of 'Love Island' will air in 2018, while it was recently reported the show's creator was keen to explore the possibility of a gay version, featuring LGBT+ contestants.
But if you are wondering how you are going to cope in the meantime, the complete series one and two boxsets are now available on ITV Hub.
We also have some spin-off suggestions of our own that bosses should definitely make.

So when I first started viewing the slideshow of Oscar de la Renta's Pre-Fall 2010 Collection, it was about midnight and I couldn't fall asleep. Leeeeet's juuuuust saayyyyyy, I didn't get to sleep anytime soon after viewing it. As Oscar himself said, "You have to make a woman fall in love with your clothes." Turns out he blindsided me with love because I think I stayed up AT LEAST another hour imagining myself frolicking around in his sumptuous creations and becoming his muse (can't you picture it too??). I don't even remember falling asleep. And that, my friends, is love when it comes to clothes. If you can't recall this feeling, think back to your first crush EVER. Remember how sick to your stomach you felt when you thought about him/her? Remember wanting to cry if they didn't reciprocate the feeling? Remember laying awake at night and next thing you know it's morning? THAT was me Sunday night. Or maybe it was Monday. I can't remember BECAUSE THAT'S LOVE. .
My favorite pieces are the evening gowns because I'm a goddamn princess at heart (Sorry about the swearing; I just watched Love Story last night and can't stop myself from channeling Jennifer Cavilleri), but below is everything I loved most. Can I point out how wonderful the use of hair accessories, scarves, and make up is?? This collection is just so cohesive I can't stand it. To view the runway from start to finish, click here.
I love the shadows in this shot above.
Thank you style.com, for the images, and for stopping my heart with amazing runways daily.
So now I'm just working on getting a few invites to some supa glam parties next fall where I can wear the goodies from O de la R's line. Oh, that, and anatomically securing a gold bar or 30 so I can purchase said goodies.

25 Sep :At the conclusion of the 12th round of the Korea-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) held in Seoul from September 22-25, India and Korea have announced today that all outstanding issues in the negotiations have been resolved successfully. The CEPA Agreement is expected to further accelerate the growth of the flows of bilateral trade and investment between Korea and India. The Indian side was led by Shri G.K. Pillai, Commerce Secretary, and the Korean side was led by Mr. Hye-min Lee, Deputy Minister.
Both sides expect that they will be able to finalise the formal text of the Agreement including the schedules for liberalization of goods, services and investment by the end of October. Major elements of the Agreement will be made public at that time. Both sides aim to sign the Agreement by the end of this year after completing all domestic procedures and the Agreement will come into effect from the first half of next year on a mutually agreed date.
The Korea-India CEPA negotiations started in March 2006 and a total of 12 rounds of negotiations have been held.
India and Korea are 12th and 13th largest economies in the world respectively. The bilateral trade has been growing by an average rate of around 27% over the last 3 years and amounted to US $ 11.2 billion in 2007.

The excitement of buying a home doesn't need to fade because of unexpected costs. By being aware of the expenses involved in purchasing a property you'll be able to plan for these and will have no unexpected surprises waiting for you after you've signed your offer to purchase. Here are some of the most common expenses involved in buying a home, assuming you will be taking out a home loan.
The Deposit
Unless you are a first-time home buyer you'll need to put down a deposit on your property. While the average deposit required is in the region of 20%, you'll need to decide whether paying a higher deposit is affordable. By paying a higher deposit you'll reduce your capital amount and save on interest payments. Remember that home loans almost always attract more interest than the bank pays you for cash on deposit – this means that paying a larger deposit will save you money in the long run.
Bond Fees and Transfer Duties
Often overlooked by property buyers, these expenses can amount to thousands of Rand. If you're a first time home buyer these fees can be included in your home loan, but all other buyers should budget for these. Your bank will provide you with the full amount payable, so before you purchase a home make sure to enquire about the latest fees and transfer duties.
Transfer and Registration Fees
The lawyers who register the property in your name will charge you transfer and registration duties, which increase with the value of the property on a sliding scale. A property worth R1 Million may attract transfer duties of R10 000 or more, and this payment is not negotiable in most cases so it must be budgeted for.
Deeds Office Fees
The government's Deeds Offices are located throughout the country and is responsible for registering properties. The fees involved range from several hundred Rand to over a thousand Rand depending on the value of the property.
Bank Fees and Homeowner's Insurance
Several extra fees are levied by the bank when you take out your bond. These include valuation fees, interim interest payments, bond initiation fees, and administration fees. Combined, these fees may exceed R5000 depending on the bank and size of the bond. In addition, the bank will insist that you take out homeowner's insurance on the property before the bond is initiated.

In collaboration with la Mesa de Trabajo de Acceso a la Justicia (Access to Justice Roundtable), the legal clinics at the University of Puerto Rico and Interamerican University Schools of Law and the Colectivo Accion Legal, as well as institutions in the U.S., we are initiating efforts to organize and train lawyers (preferably bilingual) who will be able to help with post-disaster relief legal aid assistance. Our volunteer efforts will likely develop across three stages: - Collect legal knowledge & information: We are identifying the relevant laws and regulations surrounding disaster relief and identifying collaborating organizations - Offer & participate in trainings: Once legal needs have been identified, we will share information about webinars and live training opportunities. At least initially, there are conversations to host live trainings in New York City and Puerto Rico. If you have expertise or experience in offering legal aid after a natural disaster, please let us know. - Provide direct legal assistance: The initial capacity building stages will eventually devolve into providing direct assistance to individuals, families, and communities in need in Puerto Rico. We expect to begin sharing opportunities of this sort in a few weeks after the most urgent relief efforts have been completed and communication networks reestablished. We hope to organize legal "brigades" of lawyers who can help go down and assist lawyers in Puerto Rico in filing FEMA claims, insurance claims, unemployment claims and other claims related to public benefits and assistance as needed.

In my opinion, that is a very admirable trait. To find someone in today's time that possess a similar quality, would be quite difficult. In my experience, the majority of people I know, will alter their initial impression or thoughts based on the social situation. Even in our class during the ethics test, this was in play. The ethics test was about hypothetical situations that we were to place themselves in, and to raise our hand when the action that we were most likely to agree with was read off. I noticed most of us would glance around looking for allies in thought during this process, before raising their own hand. And other times, people would not raise their hand for an answer, simply because no one else did. This is a core example of letting our peers affect our opinion. Whether this is beneficial or disadvantageous is debatable.
You'll hear in a lot of celebrity interviews, "I don't really care what other people think." I can't help by think that this is a trait that you must possess in order to stand out, which can ultimately affect one's business career, whether in a positive or negative way.

I don't even know where to begin with Lindsay Lohan -- it's so hard to keep up! She's doing community service at a morgue, she might be going to jail, her dad's been arrested, twice, she's doing Playboy, and her mom's writing a tell-all. Is that it so far? Oh! Wait! I forgot! She's also been offered a million-dollar deal by FleshLight adult entertainment company! They want to make a mold of her vagina! To sell it! Holy snappin' turtles, Lohan! This sounds too good to be true!
A Lindsay Lohan va-jay-jay mold has been on my wish list for years. And I know I'm not alone. I'm looking at you. Yeah, you. Admit it. Come on. What would go better in that empty space on the shelf in the living room than Lindsay's lamp of love? Guests will marvel at your daring purchase, not able to take their eyes off it as you serve them a glass of Chardonnay with your finest assortment of hors d'ourves. It's super classy. Trust.
OK OK, if I'm the only one that would use Lindsay's lady parts to decorate my home, so be it. But seriously -- do people (and let's just assume they're mostly men) want to have "sex" with a rubber replica of Lindsay's labia, etc.? Is that like, a thing? Celeb vagina molds? Are people that curious about what it would "feel like" to do the deed with Linds?
Guess so. If they're offering her a million buckaroos, I suppose they think they'd be able to sell it. However! However. Lindsay, for now, apparently, allegedly, isn't biting. According to TMZ, sources close to her said she'd never do such a thing no matter how big the offer was.
Sigh. Guess the only places we'll get to see LiLo's privates are on the Internet and in her upcoming Playboy spread. We'll have to take what we can get, I suppose. My empty shelf shall remain empty a little longer.
What do you think of FleshLight's offer?

Today is National Lighthouse Day ! Recognized by Congress on August 7, 1789, lighthouses have been a symbol of safe harbor, guiding ships back to port, helping its crew find their way home. Every time I go out to film or photograph the sea, I am always in awe of the infinite depths of the deep blue waters that cover 70% of this planet. Lighthouses are beacons rising above these mysterious waters. They also serve as reminders that we are at the mercy of the earth — the constant ebb and flow of the powerful oceans — and we must respect and protect it. So, go and visit a lighthouse and enjoy the view!
Check out The Vault at Moving Art to license my images of lighthouses and more!

Last week, I was contacted by the lovely ladies at REglam, being asked to write a post about healthy body image in the fashion industry. I was immediately enthusiastic, as I think this is such a relevant topic, and one which interests me greatly. I think this is always going to be a contentious issue, and one which is really important to get right.
The first thing which struck me about this title was the general contradictions about healthy body image in the fashion industry. The common line taken by many aspects of the media is one which has almost come full circle now – that 'big is beautiful', and being of a slighter build is highly undesirable. But I have a few problems with this.
