Most companies have a Mission Statement. Few have a Hiring Mission Statement.It is a short, non-discriminatory expression of the employee characteristics you need to fulfill your Mission Statement. It is in front of all managers throughout the entire hiring process. The Hiring Mission Statement developments focuses each managers on what is strategically important to gain a hiring competitive advantage. We help companies develop their Hiring Mission Statement.
We have developed three strategic hiring forms - Job Outlook™, an Interview Evaluation, Hiring Decision. What is different?Most job description provide important but very basic information. i.e., duties, responsibilities, travel etc. Similarly, most interview evaluation forms are too general. i.e., asked good questions, seemed prepared, etc. We do not replace the job descriptions. Rather we enhance them. The hiring manager has takes about 15 minutes to provide strategic info on their team, their management style and the open position. Managers sign the form and that information is front and center during all interviews and the hiring decision.How can we help you?

So I know I've been M.I.A lately, but that's only because I've had a crazy-busy semester. I took five classes, four of which were writing courses. And on top of that I contributed to a campus publication's blog AND tweeted for my university's official Twitter account. It's safe to say a wrote more than I have in my entire life this past semester, but I'm glad I did because it only helped my writing skills grow like pretty little flowers. With that being said, the semester is now over (celebratory cheers) so I will have a lot more time for "me-time" which means more personal writing…such as tending to this wonderful blog of mine. To wet your appetite just a little bit, here are links to the blog I contributed to this past semester:
Trends We Hate: The Use of Hands Free Cell Phone Devices While Not Driving
So take a look and enjoy! I promise there is plenty more where that came from! The summer is just heating up…pun heavily intended.

The California Supreme Court by a 6-1 vote today upheld Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage enacted by state voters in November.
At the same time, the court ruled that Proposition 8 is not retroactive and the 18,000 gay and lesbian marriages performed in the state before Nov. 4 will continue to be recognized.
The court said, "Those marriages remain valid in all respects."
Proposition 8 was approved by 52 percent of voters as an amendment to the California Constitution. As a constitutional amendment, the initiative overturned a decision in which the court ruled in May 2008 that the constitution's
guarantee of equal treatment provided a right to gay marriage.
The court, in a ruling issued in San Francisco, rejected three lawsuits in which same-sex couples and local governments claimed the measure could not be passed simply as an initiative because it was a constitutional revision rather than an amendment.
The court majority said the constitution gives voters broad amendment powers and that only a measure making "far reaching changes" in the state's basic governmental plan would be a revision.
Chief Justice Ronald George wrote that Proposition 8 "by no means makes such a far reaching change in the California Constitution as to amount to a constitutional revision."
George also wrote in the 136-page majority opinion that Proposition 8 concerns only access to the term "marriage" and does not affect same-sex couples' right to form families in domestic partnerships.
George wrote that gay and lesbian couples continue to have "a constitutional right to enter into an officially recognized and protected family relationship with the person of one's choice and to raise children in that family if the couple so chooses."
The court majority said that any change in the state's constitutional definition of marriage "must find its expression at the ballot box."
Justice Carlos Moreno said in a dissent he considered Proposition 8 to be a revision because it "strikes at the court of the promise of
equality that underlies our California Constitution."
A constitutional revision would require approval of two-thirds of the Legislature as well as a majority of state voters.
All seven justices said Proposition 8 was not retroactive for two reasons: because ballot materials did not unambiguously say it was retroactive and because invalidating previous same-sex marriages would take away vested property rights.
The court said that applying Proposition 8 retroactively would "disrupt thousands of actions" taken by married same-sex couples, "throwing property rights in disarray (and) destroying the legal interests and expectations of thousands of couples and their families."
In Washington, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said:
"I know today´s decision is a tremendous disappointment for many people. But I also know that the opinions of Californians are changing on this issue, and I believe that equal marriage rights will one day be the law in this state. This is already the case in Connecticut, Iowa,
Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. So, I believe this issue will come before the voters again, and I am very hopeful that the result will be different next time.
"Today's State Supreme Court ruling also declares that the 18,000 same-sex marriages that have already taken place in California are valid, and I believe these marriages will allow people to see for themselves that marriage equality is a step forward for California and not a step back."
Responding to the ruling, State Sen. Ellen Corbett (D-10th), whose district includes Pleasanton, said:
"Today's ruling places us at a crossroads in California history where we, as a state must ask ourselves whether equal protection should continue to be a fundamental right guaranteed to all citizens under our Constitution without any exceptions. I am confident that the day will soon come when the people of this state recognize that we will not have true equality until all citizens of this state are granted the freedom to marry."

Ahhh... a few days off and I feel like I am past the big four. My brother's passing, starting a new full time job, moving house and Christmas! The first was the toughest, obviously. The second helped me get through the first. The last two took me to the edge of stress!!!
Now, we have a few days off and the main floor of the bungalow is unpacked!!! Wow! We got into the basement (finished) and set up a tv room. I realized I have to have a yard sale in the Spring as I really cannot fit all this stuff in. Granted, we are making the house larger with the reno come summer, but by then, I will want to add newness. What the house is really lacking, compared to the last house, is bookcases. I had loads of built-in bookcases and plenty of books to fill them.
I have been able to trade in some of my books for credit at a used book shop, but this beauty is not one for a used book shop. One of my favourite designer is Bunny Williams. While I will never part with "An Affair with a House" (my all time favourite decor book), I thought I would try Amazon's new Sell My Stuff option and I have put a like-new copy of Point of View up for sale at the lowest price - $32.99. I may have cracked the spine 2-4 times and it probably in better shape then a new one at the book store, cracked many time. It was shrink-wrapped when I purchased it. Full of beautiful pictures and designs, including Bunny & John Rosselli's Dominican Republic paradise vacation home.
While you're at it: Bunny has redone her website and it is beautiful!!! Check it out at:

Tom will be here in Texas on Monday!!
I feel like i'm holding my breath waiting for him to get here.
I love and miss him and I'm so ready for our next adventure.
It's probably my favorite word.
There's so many things that go through
my head when I think of adventure.
I think of Tom.
He's been such an adventure.
Over the past (almost) two years
I've been on so many adventures with him.
Some of those adventures were when we actually traveled.
Travel adventures are theeeee best!!
Seeing knew places, it's my favorite thing!!
Other adventures were just learning about each other.
Falling for someone is a serious adventure.
A wonderful, magical adventure.
So with Tom in Texas on the horizon
I can't help but think of all of the adventures
that are to come over the next month and a half.
I've actually been thinking of some adventures
that will be happening next year.
About a year ago Tom and I talked about this year
and how we wanted to be able to somehow, someway spend
the entire year together.
Well we did pretty good,
we are going to have six and a half months
under our belts for this year.
So why not aim higher for next year??
Well I can tell you that we are definitely aiming higher.
I went out with some friends from high school the other day
and we were all able to catch up and it was just the greatest!!
I love friends that stick with you through the years, they're the best!!
Anyways one of my good friends Mariah was telling
me that she really wants to go to Australia.
Weird, so do we!!
Like we really want to go!!
This blog post is coming full circle..
This whole Australia thing has been on my mind non stop lately.
I just think it's such a great opportunity.
I don't like letting opportunity go to waste.
So if money is there and Tom is on board
I say we go to Australia, or NZ.
Final destination hasn't been decided. Ha!
Plus knowing that a friend of mine from
way way back might also be over there
is more than enough for me to be on board!!
I mean does anyone else want in on this
because it would be crazy cool to have
a group going over.
Like a traveling community of people ;)
Would that be weird??? Maybe...
I think I'm trying to make myself a gypsy.
I need to take a little step back. haha
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

I'm ready for the spring season to be over as "allergy season" should be it's name.
I made this one a week ago... but it took me this long to get it posted.
I have plenty of excuses for the slowness of my online life this last week...
but i'll spare you for the time being.
This little appliqued table runner is 28" x 20" and is fabric from Bar Harbor by Minick and Simpson for Moda...
I just saw these fabrics and instantly saw the future project from it.
I love it when that happens! It's in the shop (with more pictures) too.

Just a couple things I have made with my new components, set to launch the first week of April (if not a little sooner).
I really love these beads ~ they go so well with the bronze! I got them at Berks, and I now wish I had bought all 5 strands they had instead of just three. They are short strands (8") and I just know they won't last. Aren't those beads pretty???? They said they were Chrysoprase, but I totally know they are a dyed jasper. I don't care, they are awesome.
Next I made this one, and I just love it. It wears so well, I think it may never come off my wrist (I have to test the durability, right?)
I hope you like the new designs. Nothing fancy really, just cool beads and fun artisan focals. Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy, as my 6 yr old would say.

I have mental illness. People whom I used to know would look away if they see me. Yup, that unpopular. Of course I get angry and hurt but deep down, I know I'd do the same too, if I see 'me'. That's the icy cold papercut truth. I thank you for your readership.Your presence here makes me feel less alone. This blog helps me remember who I am and the dangers that lurk inside of me
Happy New Year!

Do you know Moomin?
Moomin is a character originally from Finland. To be honest, I had no idea who Moomin was until I came to Japan.
Apparently the TV show of Moomin is currently airing on Japanese TV and very popular among the kids. Moomin's goods can be easily found at many characters shops here as well.
Although I have zero knowledge of Moomin's storyline, Moomin cafe had always been a place I wanted to go.
So after the Tanabata matsuri at Asakusa, Nayun & I went to the Sky Tree and we decided to have a dessert time at Moomin House cafe at the first floor of Solamachi :)
|Nothing is more adorable than sitting next to the Moomin
|Cute decoration
|Moomin's pudding. The cup can be brought home! It tasted good but nothing special btw ;)
I bet people's intention coming here is to enjoy the experience rather than the food.

Aloha Festival in Napa Valley
For some, the Napa Valley Aloha Festival is just a fun thing to do over the weekend, but for others, attendance is almost mandatory.
"It's the experience of home," said Song Pisimata. "To me, it's like a big family reunion."
Pisimata lives in Concord now, but he grew up in American Samoa.
Attending Aloha festivals is "about the closest thing to home" and pretty much the only way to get authentic food and music, he said. There's a variety of food available from Samoa, Hawaii and the Philippines. "It's like a potluck," he said.
"It's one of those events where you forget about the price because you just enjoy it so much," he added.
Admission to the event, which is in its 10th year, is free. Parking is also complimentary.
This year's Aloha Festival features performances by Kawika Kahiapo and Kawika Alfiche & Halau 'O Keikiali'i as well as several cultural presenters and about 60 vendors.
The Aloha Festival continues Sunday at the Napa Valley Expo, 575 Third St., Napa, inside and behind Chardonnay Hall, from 9:45 a.m. until 4 p.m.

2nd Best Year Ever.
It will always be a hard to top 2013, the year of the Lords of Gossamer & Shadow (Diceless) Kickstarter & its retail release. The core book is an evergreen product for us as are many of the supplements. Nevertheless, 2015 had the highest amount of retail sales in out 8 year history. I am well pleased.
This year saw us continue release a small setting product each month, supported greatly by Matt Banach's work on his series of short inexpensive Gossamer Worlds PDFS, Gossamer Worlds: GlimmerGloam becoming a best-seller. I even published Matt's crazy idea of an entire gaming product written in poetic verse, GossamerWorlds: Poetica Mundi, to great critical acclaim.
I also got the opportunity to work with Rob Donoghue again with his excellent work on Lucien's Guide: Legends & Lies, plus we brought on H.M. "Dain" Lybarger who wrote Threats: Secrets of the Annunaki and my personally favorite projects, Gossamer Words: Planet Fiction, so you could ally or become the enemy of Sherlock Holmes along with many other fictional characters.
Finally, we have also started shipping the Kickstarter for our second Icon Deck of cards, to allow GMs and Players to have representations of Icons in the Lords of Gossamer & Shadow game or Trumps in their Amber Diceless games. DrivethruCards really does amazing quality cards, I could not have done this project without them.
For Diceless 2016, we will see the release of The Long Walk: Life On The Grand Stair, a massive supplement which will come out of editing next quarter. Addendum Shapeshifting which is in mock layout now. The retail release of the second Icon Deck, an Adventure written by me, and of course more Gossamer Worlds. I also hope to do one or two compilation print books. And launch a new Kickstarter once the Long Walk is complete and in everyone's hands.
We released our supplement to our ENnie Award wining game/adventure The Demolished Ones, as Robert N. Emerson gave us A Fly In The Ointment, which to me is really an enhancement to the original story rather than a traditional supplement giving you a new experience if you run the adventure a second time.
13th Age
We jumped into a new license this year with support for The 13th Age, and while its sales are not as strong as Pathfinder or Diceless, our strongest showing being 101 Feats and Talents, it is profitable for us and we will continue to do so through 2016.
Speaking of 2016 look out for the Book of Icons and the Taskshaper.
5th Edition
While there is no official license for 5th Edition, I have chosen to follow the model of Goodman Games and many other publishers and release content under the existing OGL, as there is virtually nothing in 5th Edition that was not published in one format or another during the d20 ERA by one company or another.
As such Ed Kabara has done a number of products for us from 101 1st LevelSpells to The Breaking of Forstor Nagar, and I look forward to him doing more and more.
In 2016 I hope to bring another 5e expert on board to create some additional products for us.
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
We had some amazing success in 2016, I was especially pleased to release the largest product we have ever done with Faces of the Tarnished Souk: An Npc Collection. Its really an amazing book doing what I wanted, and succeeding where I felt every other book of Npcs had failed. Completely both the Kickstarter and then its retail release is something every small publisher longs for in the modern era of publishing. For a micro press like me, it's amazing.
Another big milestone was the Martial Arts Guidebook completion after a long arduous production (I will never use Indieagogo again); we have released to our backers the PDF and are shipping the signed Print copies. The retail PDF has gained the highest critical acclaim from Thilo "Endzeitgeist" Graff with a 5/5 start + seal of approval and being recommended for his best for 2015. I am more than well pleased.
We also saw financial success, with such products The Secrets of the Iron Titan, which let folks, finally play the construct character they wanted to. The Kaiju Codex, which brought Godzilla and Pacific Rim to your Pathfinder game. Along with great new ideas like the 101 Environment Spell Series by Dave Paul who has gone from being our go-to-editor to being a major writing force with this series.
Speaking of Dave Paul the editor, we launched our Patreon this year for our PathwaysE-zine. Allowing us to add two additional paid articles by some of the greatest talents in the industry. As always by using a different cover artist every month, we give work to new talent that micropress publishers can afford, and allow them to demonstrate the quality of work they can do on a deadline.
This also allows us to find some of the best artists in our freelance stable like Dennis Darmody, Ernanda Souza, and Juan Diego Dianderes. Plus it allowed us to find new talents this year like Lee Pfenniger, Melvin Chan, and Manuel Castanon. I however never seem to have enough work for all the artists I love so if you a publisher check these folks out and give them some work.
We also launched a great Kickstarter this year with In the Company of Dragons, upgrading the original small PDF, that allows you to play a dragon right alongside other PCs, into a much larger book, we already have the manuscript complete and its off in editing land so we are on schedule to release it in 2016.
We also had big fun with our April fools product In the Company of Gelatinous Cubes, because who doesn't want to play Jell-O.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the skill of Tommi Salama's Rite Map Packs and his amazing cartography. I really enjoy every time we get to put one of these out. He has taken the Pathfinder Rpg community by storm as I swear I now see his cartography everywhere I look.
No year is perfect, and Rite Publishing has failures like any other company. I always believe in transparency, we acknowledge our mistakes, learn from them, and move not to make them again in the future.
Kaidan Campaign Setting (PFRPG): Never start a Kickstarter without the manuscript being done. If you do don't every allow the burden to fall all on one author, bring in others, a singular vision is awesome but you can break the writer. Also because it's taken so long we have lost or original artists for the project. This manuscript is done, edited, and the mock layout is done. We are now moving forward with artwork. Therefore, this is a production timeline failure, but not a failure as a product and will like the martial arts guidebook will become a success in 2016.
Adventure Quarterly (PFRPG): This is another timeline failure, not a product failure, as the adventures, art, and cartography have been stellar. We do an amazing job putting Pathways out on time every month, but I fail to get AQ out every quarter. Once issue # 8 is complete, Robert N Emerson (editor-in-chief) and I will be making changes with Adventure Quarterly so that we can fix this problem.
Gossamer Options: Characters (Diceless): I should not be an editor. I don't have the time or the skill to be great at this. This book needed a better editor than me and any failings on its part are due to my failures as an editor and developer. It's not a bad book, but it's the weakest of the Diceless line, and we have set that bar so high that a standard book like this ends up coming out weak.
The Long Walk: Life On The Grand Stair (Diceless): This is a failure of timeline again, projects sometimes just get behind, it is in editing now and will come out of that next quarter, but what I should have done on this from the beginning was bring a second experienced writer in to assist with this book from day one. It's sadly the same mistake I made on Kaidan, putting too much on one author and one editor. Now that we are past all of it, it's an awesome manuscript, heck I am running the adventure as part of my home game. I am really looking forward to publishing this one.
So the big lessons from 2016, don't be afraid to use multiple authors on large projects, don't be afraid to bruise someone's ego by bringing in another author late in a project (even your own) because you are saving their sanity and your own. Oh yeah, and I am not allowed to be an editor.
The Future
I want to do things with PFRPG Occult Adventures maybe a 1920s Noir Chicago adventure path, I want to do the Gateway Pass adventure series, where your PCs never leave the local outpost and the adventure comes to you. I want to publish more In the Company of (Rakshasa, Daemons, Demons, Devils, & Unicorns) next year.
I want to do a Bestiary for Lords of Gossamer & Shadow (Diceless) probably a Kickstarter. A series were we detail a single world in the Shatterlight series. See some fiction written for the game system, plus a guide to powers series, along with continuing the Gossamer Worlds, Threats, and Lucien's Guide Series.
On a personal note, I hope to finish my novel Tartarus: A Superhuman Prison.

Low iron is the most common nutrient deficiency in the United States and a leading cause of anemia. Fortunately, iron deficiency is usually treatable by dietary changes, supplements or a combination. If you are diagnosed with low iron, talk to your doctor about food recommendations that can help elevate your blood iron levels. Blackstrap molasses is made from the final boiling of sugar syrup. Compared with other molasses, it contains high concentrations of vitamins and minerals. It is rich in iron and can be incorporated into many recipes and meals.
Signs of Deficiency
Iron is important for the production of red blood cells to deliver oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. When iron deficiency progresses to anemia, the tissues and cells throughout your body become deprived of oxygen. As a result, you may become tired and weak. You may have trouble concentrating and experience shortness of breath, headache and dizziness. Other possible symptoms of iron deficiency include cold and numbness in the extremities, a craving for ice and cardiac arrhythmias.
Blackstrap molasses is a rich source of the type of iron found in plant foods. One tbsp. of blackstrap molasses provides 3.5 mg of iron. This represents over 19 percent of the daily recommended amount of iron for adult women before menopause. It also contains over 43 percent of the daily recommended amount for adult men, as well as adult women before menopause. Each serving of blackstrap molasses provides half of the recommended daily intake for toddlers, and 13 percent of the recommended daily intake for pregnant women.
Blackstrap molasses can be added to many meals. An easy way to boost your iron intake is to substitute blackstrap molasses for white sugar or other sweeteners. At breakfast, add blackstrap molasses to oatmeal or other hot cereal. Stir a spoonful of molasses into salad dressing at lunch and use it as a marinade for chicken, meat or fish. You can prepare a delicious substitute for hot tea or coffee by adding 1 tbsp. of blackstrap molasses to one cup of hot water, milk, soy milk or almond milk.
Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron from plant sources of iron such as blackstrap molasses. Try to eat foods high in vitamin C alongside blackstrap molasses. Citrus fruits and juices, cantaloupe, strawberries, sweet red peppers, tomatoes, cabbage and broccoli are all good choices. Foods high in calcium may interfere with your body's ability to absorb iron. If you are concerned about this aspect, avoid using milk and other calcium-rich foods along with blackstrap molasses. Take calcium supplements at a different time of day to avoid this interaction. Check with your doctor before using supplements, especially if you take prescription medicines.

When I'd say "best band I've seen at The Whitney House all year" it used to mean something, except now it means a lot less seeing as this was only the second Whitney House show I've been to in the last 8 months, unless I just don't know how to count (which is possible). It's not to hard to figure out that the quality of the coverage on this blog is heavily tied to the quality of bands that both The Whitney House and Popeye's Garage bring in, and now that both places are slowing down or have gone under over the past couple of years, well, you see what happens. Downhill fuckin' city. Anyway, Catholic Guilt are from New London -- if you remember Mike from atrilliongallonsofgas (who was also in Ferocious Fucking Teeth for a while), he's in this band -- and yeah, they were pretty impressive. I've been hearing about them for a while (from people in bands who have played The Orphanage), but hardcore isn't the first thing that pops into my head when I think about New London, so I kinda let the talk just wash right over me, but they pretty much tore things up. Seth would probably help me out with the names of a few bands that Catholic Guilt sounded like, only Seth wasn't there that night, so I'm on my own. Maybe powerviolence with some extended heavy stoner/psych parts and a crazed motherfucker of a singer, I guess. Similar to what a bunch of bands Providence and Boston sound like, if that helps you at all.
This was the second time in two weeks that I saw The Excrementals, who're made up of a bunch of New Haven people who've been in a bunch of other bands I've seen before (although for the life of me I can't remember the other band that Joe used to sing for, maybe when I remember I'll edit this) (oh, wait, it was Loach, I think). They're your basic no-frills punk band, not crusty or street or anything like that. Here's a video you can watch, from a show that wasn't at Whitney House:

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Senior Chinese officials are working double time to restore order to the restive far-western province of Xinjiang after rioting there last week killed more than 150. The disputed death toll is now 184, and the number of injured is higher, too. A top Chinese official visited the region for the first time this weekend, accusing a dangerous fringe of organizing the unrest and calling on people of all ethnicities to build "a steel wall" against instability.
But activists and observers contest the idea that the unrest was the work of extremists. Instead, many say it is a wake-up call that the region is riddled with economic and ethnic tensions. Until those are addressed, it is unlikely Xinjiang's people will come together to build anything, let alone a metaphorical second Great Wall.
The New York Times reports that the riots began last Sunday in Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital, when a protest by Muslim Uighurs ended in clashes with riot police. They are a majority in the province but a minority nation-wide, and complain of discrimination at the hands of China's main ethnic group, the Han. The Times piece talks to scholars who note that Chinese rulers first began to exert full control of the area in the mid-1700s. And under Mao Zedong, the Han population grew from 6 to 40 percent.
For days after the police clashes, Uighur vigilantes attacked and killed Han civilians, who responded with their own attacks on Uighurs. China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Sunday that the official number of injured had risen from 1,100 to 1,680,and that 184 people were killed – mostly Han.
But Uighur residents of Urumqi say the official death toll under-reports the Uigher casualties, according to the Washington Post. The actual number of Uighers killed could be in the thousands, they say.
On Saturday, senior Communist Party official Zhou Yongkang told reporters that the people of Xinjiang should come together to build "a 'steel wall'" for the region's stability to safeguard the interests of the people," according to Xinhua.
Mr. Zhou is the first top party leader to visit the province since the July 5 riots began. He used the visit to accuse unnamed hostile foreign elements of master-minding the unrest, says Xinhua, and warned that "they are attempting to stage more sabotage."
State-run China Daily towed a similar line, says Xinhua, writing in a Friday editorial: "To maintain social stability, we need to isolate and crack down hard on a handful of people ... who masterminded, organized, and committed serious violence during the riot."
But most analysts disagree with the argument that the riots were organized by extremist elements or foreign saboteurs. Instead, many connect the unrest to poverty and long-standing Uighur complaints of discrimination in their own homeland, which has seen a huge influx of Han migrants since the 1980s, reports Agence France Presse.
Xinjiang is rich in natural resources, notes AFP. The province is now China's second-largest oil producer, and agriculture is a big business, too. Beijing invests heavily in both. But analysts say Uighurs see few of the benefits of that investment, which favors Han Chinese.
Around 70 percent of any extra investment is gobbled up by the oil and petrochemical industries, dominated by state-owned enterprises, said Ren [Xianfang, an analyst at IHS Global Insight.]
"There are very few Uighurs in the oil industry," said Jean-François Huchet, director of the Centre of French Studies on Contemporary China in Hong Kong.
"The Uighur population has been stuck in the countryside in an agricultural system that has little added value," he said.
But even there – the region is a major grower of cotton – Uighurs struggle to gain economic power.
A regional quasi-military group, "the bingtuan," control huge tracts of farmland, employing more than 2.2 million people there, the vast majority of whom are Han Chinese.
But some Uighur leaders go farther, saying that the only foreign element interfering in Xinjiang is China itself.
Speaking to the Times of India, US-based Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer said the riots were part of a broader movement for "freedom."
"All colonised people resent unjust foreign rule that is forcibly imposed upon them. It's always a matter of time before the colonised rise against their colonisers. How long are we going to live in our own country as second-class citizens and slaves? We want freedom. That is all we want."

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources may win a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The Strawberry Reservoir treatment project (in 1990) is likely the largest fish-killing project ever done. DWR officials held a press conference recently to announce that the treatment is officially on and contracts have been signed that should guarantee enough rotenone necessary to accomplish the gigantic task.
An army of some 240 people will work on the $3 million project this coming August for about a week, distributing nearly a million pounds of rotenone across the big reservoir. Rotenone will be mixed in large cement trucks and then slurried into 10 barges provided by the states of Utah and Wyoming and the Utah National Guard.
DWR officials expressed excitement at the prospect of finally getting Strawberry treated. The project has been discussed for four years. The unavailability of rotenone has been the problem in the past. The project will take about half of the world's annual supply of rotenone, most of which comes from Peru.
It was feared that Strawberry would grow so large in the last couple of years that it would be too big to treat. But the drought intervened and because of low water supplies the reservoir has remained within a treatable size.
The first shipment of rotenone is scheduled to arrive in Salt Lake City about the middle of March, said Charles Thompson, Central Region fisheries manager for the DWR. Treatment will take place in August, with tributary streams treated about Aug. 6. The reservoir will be restocked two months later, as soon as the rotenone is no longer toxic. Strawberry will reopen to fishing on Jan. 1, 1991, and fishing is expected to be excellent by the summer of 1992.
Fish stocked will include kokanee salmon, Bear Lake cutthroat and sterile rainbow. Until treatment, the trout limit on Strawberry has been doubled to 16 per day.
In the past Strawberry reservoir has attracted more trout anglers than any other Utah water. In addition, this reservoir has been the favorite fishing water among all Utah anglers.
Once the reservoir bounces back it will quickly regain its status as Utah's number one trout fishery.
Fishing should be absolutely incredible within just a year or two. In four or five years, trophy size cutthroat will once again be swimming in Strawberry Reservoir.
Jan. 1 — Complete digitization of the lake.
Jan. 9, 12, 16 and Feb. 6 — Train crews for mixing chemicals, lake application, stream application and safety.
March, 15 — Finalize treatment plans. Receive first shipment of rotenone.
April, 15 — All equipment received.
May 1-30 — Use Indian Creek and Strawberry River fish traps to collect and move spawning fish.
June 4 — Begin testing chemical distribution equipment.
July 1 — Test all boats.
July 15 — Chemical application crews begin training at reservoir and streams.
August 1 — All chemicals at mixing sites.
August 3 — National Guard moves equipment to reservoir. Strawberry tributaries close to fishing.
August 4 — Start stream treatment.
August 6 — Begin setting up mixing sites.
August 18-19 — Test run all equipment at all stations.
August 19 — Strawberry Reservoir closes to fishing (possibly a few days earlier).
August 20 — Start reservoir treatment.
August 27 — Final cleanup.
October 1 — Second stream treatment (18 days).
October 20 — Restock fish in Strawberry Reservoir.

Germany recovered from 1:2 against BrazilPhoto: ITTF
Perfect 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships
Germany faced Brazil in the third Round of the Women's Event at the Perfect 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships. They recovered from two games to null in reverse to win the match.
With two victories, Irene IVANCAN was the backbone of the team's success.
"It was hard for Nina MITTELHAM and Kristin SILBEREISEN to play under such conditions. It was their first match in the hall and they were not adjusted to the conditions. It is little bit windy due the air conditioning system, but with 40 degree outside, we have to choose between less evil. Somehow, now, I think the heat will be better," said IVANCAN.
Nina added.
"I was nervous too since it was my first match in Kuala Lumpur."
IVANCAN beat GUI Lin and Bruna TAKAHASHI, whilst Kristin SILBEREISEN succeeded against GUI.
"They struggled with my style of play and we took advantage of it."
After two close defeats in full distance matches, Ukraine finally recorded the victory today. Against Netherlands and Singapore they lost 2:3, but against France, Margaryta PESOTSKA, Tetyana BILENKO and Ganna GAPONOVA showed no mercy.
"We were looking for this victory desperately. We were so close in two previous matches, with so many good chances - missed. Against Singapore Tetyana and I lost 2:3 against FENG Tianwei, it was 8:3 and 2:2 for BILENKO, she was really close to win it at 2:1 for the team," explained Margaryta PESOTSKA.
Against France Ukraine posted 3:0 victory.
"Carole GRUNDISCH was not an easy adversary. She play at a high level here," added PESOTSKA." Tomorrow we will also have very tough game. Alexandra PRIVALOVA plays her best tournament here. In addition experienced Viktoria PAVLOVICH is always dangerous. I suffered from neck injury and for me it will be very difficult to play at the top level".

I first met Ben and Sen at one of my favourite weddings a couple of years ago and I was really looking forward to their day. Pembroke Lodge Richmond Park is a great wedding venue for many reasons. Once again it didn't disappoint. Senlika got ready at the Petersham Hotel which is just by the river in Richmond. She was ready really early which gave us a little extra time to get some portraits of her looking amazing.
The wedding was in the Belvedere Suite at Pembroke Lodge. It was made even more lovely by the readings which were in both English and French. The weather was very much on our side and the champagne flowed during the cocktail hour. The food as always was fantastic and the friends and family seemed to be loving the day. Ben and Sen visited everyone at the tables which is a lovely thing to do.
This is the first time that I have had not only the bride and groom do a speech together but it was also written to rhyme. Not only that, but they only prepared it a couple of days before the wedding! The first dance had been practised for a while but was a surprise for their guests. I just had to make sure I was in the right place for the dip! The dance floor was full all night with the Best Man Olivier on the decks.
Pembroke Lodge Richmond Park is one of my favourite wedding venues to photograph in. If you would like to find out if I'm free on your wedding date, please call me on 07903 798755 or fill in the form below.

The Seahawks keep finding new ways to lose on the road, and now they might lose their starting cornerbacks as well.
Leon Washington's 98-yard kick return for a touchdown offset a bad call by the officials that led to a touchdown by Miami, but the Seahawks were soundly beaten up front on both sides of the ball. Seattle lost for the fifth time in six road games as the Dolphins kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final play for a 24-21 win Sunday.
After the game, word came out that cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman are facing four-game suspensions for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Browner, a Pro Bowl player in 2011, and Sherman, who leads the Hawks with four interceptions this season, reportedly are appealing their suspensions. They will continue to play until those appeals are heard.
Meanwhile, the Hawks dropped yet another winnable road game and fell to 6-5 overall as they head to Chicago for a significant NFC game next week.
The Seahawks lost the game on the ground. They ran for just 96 yards — their second fewest of the season — on 27 carries while giving up 189 yards on 28 attempts to Miami.
The Dolphins also got a gift from the officials, who nullified an end zone interception by Bobby Wagner by calling roughing the passer on Earl Thomas. Thomas landed on Ryan Tannehill after leaping to try to bat down the pass. It would have been the deciding call of the game if Washington had not wiped it out by returning the ensuing kick for a touchdown.
It still was a huge call because the Seahawks should have had the ball at the Miami 20-yard line with 8:13 left and leading 14-7. It's possible the result would have been the same, but you never know.
"I think there was a real questionable call on the interception," coach Pete Carroll told reporters. "It just looked wrong. That was a very big call in this game. We get the turnover, and then we don't get it. That's a very big call to make when the guy wasn't intending to hit the quarterback. Earl (Thomas) tried to block the pass and came down on the quarterback."
Russell Wilson played very well, but he got no help from the running game and the Hawks were able to sustain two scoring drives.
Wilson completed 21 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two scores as he continued to take big steps forward in his rookie year.
But penalties and ineffectual running killed the offense.
They went three-and-out on their first four drives. The first was killed by a flag for illegal substitution, which resulted in a third-and-18. The second fizzled with an incompletion to Doug Baldwin. The third started with a false start on tight Evan Moore and a run for minus-5 yards by Marshawn Lynch. The fourth netted two yards on the first two runs by Lynch.
The Hawks finally got it going in the second quarter, which they finished with an 80-yard touchdown drive. The big play was a pass from Wilson to Golden Tate, who dived over cornerback R.J. Stanford for a 32-yard gain to the Miami 5. Two plays, later, Wilson bought time to find tight end Anthony McCoy for a 3-yard TD pass.
Wilson took the Hawks on a 12-play touchdown drive early in the third quarter. He overcame two penalties on the offensive line, hitting Robert Turbin for an 18-yard gain and running for 20 to set up his 4-yard scoring pass to Michael Robinson. That put Seattle up 14-7.
Early in the fourth quarter, Baldwin dropped a third-down pass around midfield, which set up Miami for its controversial tying touchdown drive.
On their last possession, starting at 5:13, the Hawks moved to midfield again, but a horrible series of downs doomed them as Turbin lost a yard, Lynch lost 6 yards on a checkdown pass and Wilson was sacked. The offensive line completely failed in that series, and the Dolphins finished with a 65-yard drive for the winning field goal in the final 1:23.
Grade: C+
The nullified interception was the key play on this side of the ball, and that flag never should have been thrown.
"We had an interception on that play. They definitely can't slow the game like that for us and take the game like that from us," Thomas told reporters, per The News Tribune. "It was a tough loss, but the refs definitely need to get out of the way when it's a crucial situation like that. They control the game, and that was a great example right there."
That controversial play aside, the Hawks continued to have big problems stopping the run. For the third time in five games, the Hawks were gashed on the ground.
Worse, the defense let a rookie quarterback beat it. Tannehill — whom the Seahawks seemed to like very much in the weeks leading up to the draft — had his second-best game of the season. He completed 18 of 26 passes for 253 yards, a touchdown and one interception (since the second pick was waved off by referee Clete Blakeman).
The Hawks had a horrible time stopping Reggie Bush, Pete Carroll's one-time USC star, and Daniel Thomas. Bush ran for 87 yards on 14 carries and Thomas gained 60 yards on just nine runs. Bush scored on a 21-yard run in the first quarter and Thomas tied it at 14-14 with a 3-yard run in the fourth quarter after the bogus call against Thomas.
Miami outgained Seattle in yards, 435-312, and converted 4 of 9 third downs.
But worst of all, Tannehill moved his team to 17 points in the fourth quarter as the Hawks' defense completely melted down. The Hawks blew coverages all over the field and simply could not stop Bush and Thomas in what might have been the worst performance of the season — even worse than the Detroit debacle.
This was the fifth time in six games the defense had been gashed by a hot passer (Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford) or running game (Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson, Bush/Thomas). The Hawks have lost three of those five.
Add in the report about Browner and Sherman being suspended, and this one was a complete fail.
Grade: F
Washington tied the NFL record with his eighth kick return for a touchdown, and he credited the coaches with preaching aggressiveness on the return units during the bye week. That might have been the only good thing that happened during the bye week.
Jon Ryan continued his masterful season, pinning the Dolphins inside the 20 on six of his seven punts. Too bad the defense wasted his effort, too.
Grade: A
Carroll took blame for this game, saying he wrongly trusted his young players too much by giving them the entire week off.
"I screwed it up. And that's just the way it is," Carroll told reporters, per The News Tribune. "I can tell these guys played hard and they wanted to play right. But we made too many mistakes, and that's just not doing the job the right way.
"I gave them a bunch of time off, and maybe we're too young to do that. … We played hard, but we played really sloppy. It kills me to have to tell you that, but that's what it is."
He obviously feels like they lost focus — but that has been happening on defense for a month now.
Coordinator Gus Bradley, who previously had been touted as a future candidate to run his own team, has looked very overmatched in the last few weeks. He is as much to blame for last-second losses to Detroit and Miami as his players; they have looked completely lost at times.
On offense, Darrell Bevell couldn't find a way to fix the running game, and that meant the offense couldn't save the defense.
Grade: D

Welcome to N.E. Geek!
Don't Click This
We will be back in the Old dillards space again at the Ashtabula Towne Square (Ashtabula Mall)
Ladies and gentlemen! First, let us say, thank you. Thank you for your unending support of the N.E. Geek Expo!
This started as a little Halloween party in 2010. Just some friends hanging out, cosplaying before cosplay was the big thing it is now. Who knew this would become so huge? We certainly didn't. We watched the times change and the culture change, and very suddenly we were pioneers of a grassroots movement. Wear your Geek on your Sleeve!
We grew! With your support, we
grew. And we watched other shows grow around us. It was the dawn of a new era; local and affordable conventions were the thing, welcoming one and all. Friendships were made, love was created, and entrepreneurs found their niche.
Behind the scenes, things grew as well, and eventually changed as some committee members left to pursue other projects and new members took their place. But the one constant was our dedication to bringing you a meeting place to express that wild, geeky side in all of us.
But... all things do come to an end. As the world changes, as our own lives change, we must adapt to it. And so it is with heavy hearts that we announce this year's N.E. Geek Expo will be our final show.
Thank you, everyone, for your unwavering support over the years. And please join us one last time. October 27-28, 2018. This is the grand finale, ladies and gents, and we're going out with a bang!

Calling for the Annapolis Convention, that would lead to a new federal Constitution...
Item # 635476
March 25, 1786
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 25, 1786
* Annapolis Convention called for
* Pre Constitutional Convention
The front page contains a very historic report, headed: "America - From the Virginia Gazette" with a Richmond, Januaryh 26 dateline. It provides the details of what would become known as the Annapolis Convention, beginning: "In the House of Delegatee, Jan. 21, 1786, resolved, that Edmund Randolph, James Madison, Water Jones...and George Mason, Esqrs. be appointed Commissioners who...shall meet such commissioners...by the other States in union...to take into consideration the trade of the United States..." with much more (see).
History tells us that it was on this date of January 21, at the urging of James Madison, the Virginia Legislature invited all states to send delegates to Annapolis. It was at this meeting, known as the Annapolis Convention, that the delegates endorsed a motion that called for all states to meet in Philadelphia in May 1787 to discuss ways to improve the Articles of Confederation in a "Grand Convention." Although the states' representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia were only authorized to amend the Articles, the representatives held secret, closed-door sessions and wrote a new constitution, thus creating the United States Constitution by which we live today.
This article is an extremely significant report on the germination of what would become one of the more powerful legal documents in constitutional history.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, rubbing in this article affects two words, otherwise very nice condition.

What can we do? (12/30)
What world do you want to live in? A beautiful world of plenty or the current invisible bars one. Or the other I have already forgotten. Oh yes, the real world?
Pick one and live it, the end.
What I hadn't realised is that each world already exists. Most live in the invisible bars world. It isn't compulsory. It is just what we have been trained for. What are parents were trained for, etcetera.
The world I live in is very pleasant. Occasionally, I have to deal with the police but as they have my fingerprints, DNA and psychological profile, they tend to be on their very best behaviour. I accept nothing less. (Dispensing justice, not submitting to 'authority' is not without its costs, more about this in a future post, possibly.)
You are training your children for the same world that you live in. Why? Easy, because thinking, especially critical thinking, is hard. So are world wars. Make your choice, try understanding your choice. Critical Thought will be required.

FARR 40s again?
Looks like protests will decide at least a couple of finish places in this race!
Crucial in the hearing: were they outside the zone when the gybing and subsequent luffing first occurred? If yes, the most leeward boat will get DSQd. If they where inside the zone the most windward of the three is in trouble. The middle boat should be exonerated in both cases.
6 comments:
What am I missing here?
We're talking about the Grey, White and Black boats coming into frame @28sec. Boats are approaching a the RC boat at the starboard end of a downwind finish line, out towards the Port tack layline?
@28 Grey is on stbd, White and Black on port, so Grey is right, stbd.
@31 Grey is boom over centreline, so Grey is port, and becomes right leeward. Grey does not acquire right of way because she was previously right stbd, so rule 15.1 does not apply.
Is your point that Grey is changing course hard and in rule 16.1 difficulty, so that she needs to be at the zone to get rule 18.5 exoneration?
As I see it, Grey gets to the finish boat (from which the zone extends) about @55sec, 25 sec after she gybed @30sec. Using my trusty Speed Table Appendix 6 in my Judges Manual, assuming a Farr 40 is doing about 8kts, the gybe was 8 boatlengths from the mark, and the zone would have been reached @45sec.
Between 31 and 38 there is a good example of problems with video evidence: camera boat is moving opposite direction to the boats, so it appears that Grey is changing course harder towards White than she really is.
Could you expand on what you think Grey's problem is?
You are probably right about the distances, I thought it was outside the zone too, although I don't think they are doing 8 knots.ReplyDelete
Grey started on starboard, White I'm not sure but perhaps you are right, on port, but Black is definitely also on starboard.
So Grey -RoW- gybes in front of White who is until then keeping clear. Grey luffs and White is forced to go up.
Don't you think that they forced Black -RoW on starboard- to gybe to go up? White had no choice, she was forced by Grey.
Was Grey in the zone when Black had to gybe?
You are absolutely right about the video. I'm guessing half the time and could be altogether wrong. According to Chris Love, commenting after me on the SailGroove site, the outside boat (Black) was DSQd. So perhaps they were inside?
To me it looks like there are two situations here. One outside the Zone and one in the zone. When Flash Gordon Gybes (gray boat) she is well outside the zone she luffs the white boat into the black boat that was on starboard. Black was forced to gybe to avoid contact with white. Flash Gordon should be DSQ for this.ReplyDelete
As the 3 boats enter the zone they have overlap on the boats finishing on Stbd. It looks like Black, who is giving room to Flash Gordon and the white boat is not given mark-room by the stbd finishers, but the video is not conclusive on this.
Thanks Jos,ReplyDelete
I didn't make out that Black was initially on stbd: I agree she was.
OK, suppose they are doing 6 kts: then when Grey gybes @30 they are 6BL out, and will hit the zone @42, when Black has just completed her gybe and is rounding up.
I don't think Grey gybes 'in front of' White. As I see it Grey gybes her main, and while holding downwind to complete the spinnaker gybe, notes that she is about to be able to attack White, and doesn't complete the spinnaker gybe and floats the spinnaker off to leeward out of the way, and then she comes up hard(ish). I don't think Grey begins to come up until about @40.
I don't think the issue was whether Grey was at the zone when she gybed, but whether she, and White were at the zone (and thus entitled to mark-room) when she started coming up. AS the PC disqualified Black, and not White and Grey, it seems that they were satisfied it was in the zone.
My comment about the problem with the video wasn't meant to cast doubt on your interpretation. I just thought it was a very good example that would merit being kept and shown in training to illustrate problems with video.
Agreed. Unless you have a helicopter view videos are notoriously unreliable.ReplyDelete
But some things a video can show very well.ReplyDelete
When the video boat happens to be in the right position as a wing or umpire boat would be, and ability to replay and focus on one boat at a time.
For example even in this video, by watching carefully and repeatedly, one boat at a time, you can see:
@27 White's boom out to port, coming across, not yet on centreline so White is on stbd, and gybing
@28 Grey's boom out to port not yet beginning to move, so she is on stbd, and not yet gybing
Up to @30, you can't see which side Black's boom is on (although you can make deductions from the curl of her spinnaker), but
@31 Black's spinnaker lifts and you can see her boom out to port, so she is on stbd
@31 Grey's boom crosses centreline so Grey has gybed onto port.
So even this video, which could be quite misleading about turns and rates of turns of boats, can give us some good solid facts found that would probably be very difficult to get at with witness testimony alone.

The Bakken isn't the Only Big Shale Oil Play
by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst
Friday, November 11, 2011
A few days ago, I wrote about the incredible growth in the liquid portion of North Dakota's Bakken formation.
If you want the short version, read on. The Bakken is an oil- and natural gas-rich formation covering a 200,000 square mile area encompassing parts of Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan. According to an April 2008 survey by the USGS, it's estimated to contain as much as 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable reserves.
While initially drilling activity was slow and drill rigs were sparse, it eventually picked up. Rapid growth ensued starting in 2006, and continues to the present day.
The reason production saw such a rapid rise was the introduction of horizontal drilling and fracking, similar to what's fueled the meteoric rise of other oil and natural gas shale plays.
The Eagle Ford Play: Another Spindletop for Texas?
The same thing is happening in the Eagle Ford in southern Texas. Initially, the play was developed for the natural gas it potentially contained, estimated to be about 150 trillion cubic feet.
But the real reason companies are flocking to the play is the potential oil it contains. According to the Eagle Ford Shale Blog, estimates of oil reserves are as high as 900 million barrels of oil equivalent.
That has companies moving rigs from the gas parts of the plays and other regions of the country to drill in the oil-rich part of the play. Take a look at the graphic below. You can see the Eagle Ford play is comprised of three "windows." A dry gas window, a mixture of wet gas and condensate, and a section that's mostly oil.
You can see most of the drilling just two years ago was occurring in the wet gas area of the play, with only a few wells drilled in the oil-rich part of the field. Now let's take a look at a current view of drilling activity in the graph below.
You can clearly see that while there are more wells in the wet gas area, much of the current activity has shifted to the oil-rich section of the play. That will continue to be the case with the Eagle Ford, just as it has been with the Bakken.
As oil prices continue to rise and natural gas prices remain at near historic lows, companies are rapidly shifting their capital dollars to drill for oil.
Some are predicting that the development of the Eagle Ford could be the most significant economic development in the history of Texas. If the number of drilling permits being issued is any indication, those predictions could turn out to be correct.
The number jumped to 1,010 in 2010, up from just 94 in 2009, a 10-fold increase.
Who's Active in the Eagle Ford?
The Eagle Ford players are essentially a who's who in the energy business. Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) has the most acreage, at 600,000. Chesapeake sold a 33 percent share of its stake to CNOOC of China for $1.08 billion.
EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) is next, with 520,000. The third-largest player is Apache Corporation (NYSE: APA), with 450,000 acres.
Petrohawk Energy Corporation was one of the largest operators in the Eagle Ford. In July of this year, it was acquired by BHP Billiton Limited (NYSE: BHP).
Any of the top three players is a great way to invest in the Eagle Ford. Buy on big dips, and you will be rewarded in the long run.
Good investing,
David Fessler

George Charles Malcher who died recently aged 86 years, was born in the upper Silesia region of Poland. He studied law and administration at the Jagiellonian University, Cracow and political systems at the School of Political Sciences, Cracow.
After the German-Polish campaign of 1939 he escaped from a POW field hospital in Poland. In 1940 he reached France, via Hungary and Jugoslavia, where he joined the rebuilt Polish Army of General Sikorski.
He often recounted the story of how he "bought" his wife, his childhood sweetheart Jadwiga who had been imprisoned for anti-Nazi activity. His bribe of 100 US Dollars to a guard secured her freedom, this George considered to have been an excellent bargain.
George Malcher's future career was decided at Dunkirk. All unnecessary baggage was being thrown overboard by the evacuating forces to make room for people in the boats. He stepped in to translate for some Polish soldiers, to explain the necessity of losing their possessions - and a British Officer promptly made him his translator on the spot.
After the fall of France he served until the end of the War with the Polish Armed Forces under British Command in Great Britain, North Africa and Italy, employed mainly on intelligence duties. After the War, he was prevented from returning to a Poland under Soviet domination and subsequently worked for over 30 years as a high-grade linguist in the British Civil Service.
In 1958 George Malcher was awarded the M.B.E. in recognition of his services to the U.K. Ministry of Defence.
The birth of Solidarity in Poland coinciding with his retirement provided new scope for involvement in the struggle for Poland's freedom. George Malcher was the author of two books about Poland under Communist rule; "Poland's Politicized Army" (ISBN 0-03-071736-1) was published in 1984 (Praeger, New York, U.S.A.) and "Blank Pages, Soviet Genocide Against the Polish People" (ISBN 1 897984 00 6) published in the UK in 1993 by Pyrford Press.
Outside of his interest in world affairs George Malcher was a man of varied pursuits, as diverse as organic gardening at his home in Hampshire and collecting Polish coal sculptures. His knowledge of wild mushrooms was encyclopaedic.
George Malcher will be missed by many but particularly by Jadwiga his wife of 54 years, their three children and four grandchildren.
George Charles Malcher M.B.E. (Jerzy Karol Malcher) born 11th July 1914 Silesia Poland, died 21st May 2001 Hampshire United Kingdom, aged 86 years.

hey anastasia, this is avinash -very very far from you;in india. before i start to comment on your post i would like to introduce myself to you-don't worry i would not bore you,just one sentence.i am also an artist and my condition is worse than your's(haven't i told you i am in india);getting two meals a day is as difficult as winning a race with only one leg. now, have you ever wondered what is the root cause of all all our problems,have you ever thought why there is so much chaos in our lives;the only reason for it is we are not sure what we want in our lives.the things that have been realized-no matter how small or how big are not important,what is important is what we want next.anastasia,never say "i don't want anything big",never. a very big philosopher has said that the greatness of a man lies not in what he has achieved but in what he wants to achieve.one more thing never look into other people's lives;no one is happy, no matter how much they smile.if you have to look always look inside your heart and at any cost follow it's instructions.always introspect and try to find out what is lacking in you and not in others.lastly, one more thing i had no intention to bore you,but after reading your post-i don't know from where i had an inkling that we can become friends(not the physical ones:the spiritual ones)because we are both suffering from the same disease;artistic pursuit and more or less think in the same way.any way, good bye for now, write to me if you have time( i am waiting)ReplyDelete

Why Next History?
by paintme on Mar.17, 2013, under Books
Why Have a Book Called Next History?
A single question drove me to write Next History: The Girl Who Hacked Tomorrow.
What if we found a completely accurate history of our beginnings, an unbiased record that was not passed down verbally, not reimagined in every telling?
I started looking at creation myths of many cultures, located the first feminine archetype, and found scholarly input that became an energy source for every writer's favorite question: What If?
The answers created turmoil. They pushed some of the characters toward God. Some were driven in desperate search for a demon or an angel that could redeem them. The young female protagonist is prepared to settle for death, to throw away all her money for a single chance to see her mother again. She is driven, yet too realistic to think a Devil could possibly exist. And she laughs at the idea of a bargain with God.
One thing I learned in the writing, it is the intensity of a character's quest, not what is it, that makes the story move.
Along the way I saw an important flaw in the history and mythology around the archetypal Lilith, the first female created in Babylonian and Hebrew mythology. Did I use that? Oh yes I did.
Next History weaves big-iron predictive knowledge, a plugged-in world population, Sumerian creation myth, and a demonic presence with a hip sensibility to launch us beyond the hyperdata age toward a shifting and dangerous event horizon.
The story is a head-changing whirl toward a future world so outrageous, the survivors
will be forced to adapt, or die.
Jacket Blurb
Exquisite and resourceful Tharcia, at risk in a world where
instinctive drives have been unleashed, seeks her mother for
a final throwdown.
Her only difficulty is that Mom is dead.
Through her peculiar mix of technology and magic, Tharcia ensnares
a strange entity in a geometric prison. It is not her mother.
When Tharcia unearths an enchanting oracle from her deepest being,
her life, and the future of humanity, is about to be reprogrammed.
Will there be a collective, agonizing dive into chaos and depravity?
Will Tharcia reveal humanity's true purpose?
Or, will nothing change at all, except for the dark fate
of one luckless girl?
Find out for yourself. I felt in the end that I had a story worth telling. It brings up the most important question humans ever face: Who am I and how do I matter to the universe? The answer belongs to you.
Next History and Pope Benedict
by paintme on Mar.03, 2013, under Books
Matthew Fox on Benedict's Papal Legacy and why it makes Next History relevant
Recently, NPR's Amy Goodman interviewed excommunicated priest and author Matthew Fox on the legacy of Pope Benedict for the Catholic Church. Some of Fox's remarks go to the heart of why I wrote Next History: The Girl Who Hacked Tomorrow, why I saw an important flaw in the history and mythology around womankind, and the archetypal Lilith, the first female created by God in Babylonian and Hebrew mythology.
Here's Fox on why he was excommunicated:
"Number one was that I was a feminist theologian, he said. I didn't know that was a heresy. Number two, I called God 'Mother.' Well, I proved that all kinds of medieval mystics called God 'Mother,' and so does the Bible, although not often enough.
"Number three, I prefer 'original blessing' to 'original sin.' Jesus never heard of it; no Jews ever heard of it. And they accused me of not condemning homosexuals, which of course I do not.
"They're really Rorschach tests about what really freaks out the Vatican. And, of course, above all, it's women and sex. And that is the agenda. Whenever there's fundamentalism and fascism, it's about control. That's why the Vatican, the Taliban and Pat Robertson have this in common: They're all freaked out by the possibility of bringing the divine feminine back, and with it, of course, the equal rights of women."
Fox's 'divine feminine' remark resonated with me, because the construction of Next History: The Girl Who Hacked Tomorrow originated with a single question: What would it be like if we discovered a crystal clear record of our creation times, historically accurate and not mythologized or distorted by politics? I discovered that the Akashic Record could fill that need. How could humans find out about the Record in large numbers? The whales could deliver it.
The Whales? Oh yes, I forgot, it's science fiction.
OK suppose all that stuff. What would we find out? Among other things, we might discover that the goddess feminine in the form of the mythical Lilith has been smeared and degraded since about 2300 BCE, beginning with the stories the Levite priests told about her.
Prior to that Lilith was revered for hundreds of thousands of years as the source of abundance, the font of human life, health, healing and wisdom. My pet theory is that some males cannot live with the jealousy.
Next History in the end is the story of how Lilith comes to be alive on Earth again, how women the world over rise in waking consciousness of the feminine divine and come to be seen as the equals of men in every way. Equals, not superiors, it's how women roll. Too bad it has to be science fiction, but this is a small seed I wanted to plant for whoever reads the book.

Note: Wild chervil (Anthriscussylvestris), also known as cow parsley, is a poisonous species and noxious weed distantly related to garden chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) and is not included in this monograph.
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium or Anthriscus longirostris) is an annual herb native to the Caucasus area, which is located at the border between Europe and Asia. Chervil, sometimes called garden chervil or salad chervil, is a member of the Apiaceae family.
Very popular in the 19th Century, chervil is used to season foods, such as soups, salads, sauces, eggs, cheese, and butter, and it is a commonly used in French cuisine. The young leaves of chervil smell similar to anise and are often preserved in vinegar before they lose their aroma. Chervil is typically added to foods at the end of preparation or as a garnish since cooking it may result in a loss of flavor.
Another type of chervil, sometimes called turnip-rooted chervil or tuberous-rooted chervil, is grown as a root vegetable. This type of chervil produces much thicker roots than the types cultivated for their leaves. Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris), also known as cow parsley, is a poisonous species and noxious weed distantly related to garden chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium).
Historically, chervil has been used as an expectorant, aromatic, bitter tonic, digestive stimulant, and an eyewash to refresh the eyes. In secondary sources, the use of chervil has also been noted for its blood-thinning and blood-pressure-lowering properties. Chervil has also been shown to have antioxidant effects in laboratory research. Chervil is a rich source of bioflavonoids, which may aid in vitamin C absorption.
At this time, there is a lack of high-quality human trials supporting the effectiveness of chervil for any medical condition.
Chervil and chervil extract are listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list. According to secondary sources, chervil essential oils may not be suitable for use in skincare products, due to the presence of irritants and toxins.

Here is a lovely little girls christening cake, safely transported all the way to Brisbane by her loving Grandmother! This was a fun one to make, I really enjoyed modelling the little baby topper and the building blocks with the childs name on it are really popular at the moment for christenings and first birthday cakes.
Here is the back view, finished off with a pink satin bow.
I failed to get a good close up photo of this little topper, this is the best one I had! I put a bit of lustre dust on the frills of her nappy and a little around the frill of the bonnet for a bit of extra sparkle.
