Shelly was amazing! She listened to what I wanted and delivered! As soon as I saw the design I was thrilled- didn't want to change a thing. I also loved that she gave me a few different options for my sectional...obviously a big ticket item and something that was extremely important to me.
- Emily Smith in Tucson, AZ
Thank you Shelly! I love everything. You have been really helpful through this process and really prompt.
- Citlalilucia in Glendale, CA
Shelly, you are awesome. When you came up with the concept board, you had most of the pieces which we already had at our place. That made me very comfortable with the fact that you were able to visualize your client's taste even before the project started. It wasn't a coincidence. You took your time without rushing through and came up with an awesome room design. Thank you for designing the room. I look forward to work with you again on our next project.
- Rahul A. in Saugus, MA
Shelly was easy to work with... but more important than that, her ability to capture my sense of style was masterful, absolutely perfect. I now have my dream guest room. I could not ask for anything more. She sourced affordable items, that suited my style and made the room come together in such a thematic way that I could not have done on my own.

Open Historical Map/Projects/Ghost Tracks/US/CT
Connecticut Ghost Tracks
List of Ghost tracks in Connecticut currently documented in Open Historical Map.
Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park
Located northeast of Thompson, Connecticut. Also known as Thompson International Speedway.
[Thompson Speedway Historic Circuits]
Thompson has been in operation since 1940 and the original oval is still in service. An 1/4 mile oval inside the larger oval no longer exists and there are no traces of it. Thompson was the site of the first road race on a permanent circuit in the United States, in 1951, and in addition to the current road racing circuit has operated 4 previous circuits, which have left some traces. All four older road courses are represented in OHM, along with the 1/4 mile oval. The current oval is included to allow the various circuits to be completely represented.
Thompson was traced from current OSM Bing (March 2015), while making reference to available historic maps of the circuit and also examining USGS imagery on MSRMaps from 1996. An outline of the various track layouts may be found in Ghost Tracks[1]. According to America's Speedways[2], a drag strip operated briefly in the 1950s but as of yet I have no documentation discussing where it was on the property.

Tips for navigating the stress of relocating and feeling at home in a new place from psychologist and psychotherapist Elizabeth Stirling, PhD.
Expert Source: Santa Fe, N.M.–based psychologist and psychotherapist Elizabeth Stirling, PhD, specializes in supporting people who are in the midst of significant life changes and transitions.
Americans move a lot. According to a 2013 Gallup survey, nearly a quarter of the adult U.S. population moved during the previous five years. Many of us feel compelled to pack up and change locations routinely, ever in search of new opportunities, like our immigrant or pioneer ancestors.
Relocating to a new city or town is stressful for anybody, even if the move represents a positive change. Largely this is because uprooting yourself from familiar places and people is never easy, and the challenges of adjusting to a new locale are many. How will you find your way around? How will you make friends? Will you lose all the friends you made in your former home? Does anyone sell your favorite mustard? On top of that, you may have second thoughts — did I really make the right decision? What if I'm miserable here?
Elizabeth Stirling, PhD, a Santa Fe, N.M.–based psychologist and psychotherapist who specializes in helping people navigate major life changes, offers some simple advice for overcoming moving anxiety and easing into a new place.
- Fear of the unknown. Stirling points out that it's natural to worry about the unforeseeable — what this new place will be like as a home, how you'll respond to it, and so on. Any major change brings unpredictability, which is unsettling.
- Unfamiliarity with the process. "One big determinant of how stressed a move will make you is how often you've moved before," Stirling says. If you've never made the transition or your last move was in childhood, you're bound to be more concerned about the process than a veteran relocator.
- Concerns about losing old friends and making new ones. Parting with familiar people and setting yourself up in a new place usually brings loneliness — and the worry that old friends will disappear from your life entirely. Meanwhile, the prospect of making new friends can be daunting.
- The sheer labor. There's no way around it — moving takes a lot of work, and you may feel overwhelmed by the myriad details and decisions, from arranging for the moving van to setting up water and electricity in the new place. Then there's discovering the best grocery stores, restaurants, and possible schools near your new home.
- Regret. In any major life change, even the most positive, there will be things that you'll miss about your old life. Some regret is inevitable, Stirling believes, but having second thoughts doesn't necessarily mean the move was a mistake.
- Research the new place. Before you leave your familiar surroundings, learn about your new home through books, maps, online sites, and people who know the area, Stirling suggests. If you don't have time to do much research before you move, do it when you get there. Pretend you're a tourist and you don't want to miss anything.
- Think positive. "One of the greatest rewards of moving is the fact that it represents new beginnings and new excitement — a fresh landscape, new people to meet, perhaps a new and better job," Stirling says. "If you keep that in mind, you can overcome a lot of negative feelings about the changes."
- Create and use a support system. Don't hesitate to get support from your good friends in the place you're leaving. "If you're feeling down about the move, before, during, or after, let them know it and ask for their support," Stirling says. "Contact them after you've moved, and go back to visit them, too, if you can, for some TLC."
- To make new friends, be a joiner. Mutual-interest clubs, classes, and religious gathering places offer easy and immediate opportunities to connect with new people. Stirling suggests finding groups to join as soon as it's practical.
- Learn from your new contacts. "Finding resources, like good restaurants, doctors, massage therapists, and such, can take time," says Stirling, "but you can do it best through the people you meet."
- Involve the kids. If you're moving with kids, ease their stress by including them in the process. "Show them maps, get them involved in finding information about the new place," recommends Stirling. Try to minimize disruption to the school year.
- Don't move alone. "It's difficult to move on your own," says Stirling. If you're single, or the only adult, she suggests asking a relative or friend to help you with the process. He or she can assist with the endless details, like scheduling moving trucks and connecting new utilities, as well as provide emotional support.

Dinner at Heston's place
January 31, 2013
The preparations didnt go well. Was having a hormonal hair day so thought I'd give my hair a quick wash before heading uptown to meet hubby and two of his work colleagues, one of whom I'd never met. I threw a towel round my shoulders and bent over the bath to use the shower attachment. All was going swimmingly until I tried to turn off the hot water. Suddenly I found myself holding the tap in my hand, completely detached from the mixer unit. Hot water was squirting everywhere. I desperately tried to reinsert the tap but it was having none of it and I succeeded to make the water spray in numerous directions as I did it. I tried again, using more force whilst my hair dripped in to my eyes and the boiling water poured over my hands. I used the towel in an effort to protect mysef but it was sodden in a second. There was only one thing for it. I'd have to do what I love to do. Get a man in.
Luckily there is a plumbing supply shop on our road and I caught him just as he was closing. Five minutes later two strapping men were in my bathroom with me, having seen to the stopcock outside on their way in. They assessed the problem and went off to get their tools. I don't think they actually used any tools but felt that if they had to charge me for a callout, then they'd better make it look worthwhile. And so it was that 20 minutes later order was restored and the bathroom mopped up.
Hair dried, lipstick applied and I was in a cab in a flash. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is dirctly opposite Harvey Nicks so had a quick squizz in the make up department as I was early. But I was keen for a pre-dinner snifter having struggled through three whole days completely alcohol-free. Up the steps to the lobby, the top-hatted doorman does his job and greets me warmly. The foyer seems filled with posh boys in pointy shoes, but I am led away towards the restaurant area. Every memebr of staff I pass smiles and says good evening. It's a very nice feeling. I assume I am the first to arrive, but no! Our merry dining partners are already settled in with champagne cocktail. Nice. This evening is going to be goooooooood.
The little snacky things with the aperitifs are disappointing. Reminiscent of Bombay mix and hard Wotsits. I am a bit concerned this Heston is not going to live up to expectation. We are taken through to the modern, busy dining room. The light shades are inverted white jelly moulds and everything else is pretty grey.
Our waitress appears and is absolutely wonderful. She knows every bit of food on the menu and has tried them all. She is witty, pretty and passionate about food. She talks me through the ones I must avoid which includes the pork I had hoped to have, but it includes tuna flakes in it. So she goes to ask if the chef can make me a separate one and sure enough he is happy to.
My starter is the signature dish. It looks like a mandarin orange. Honestly. Absolutely perfect -the peel has those 'pores' and there are leaves and everything. But it isn't a mandarin orange. It is a orange jelly coating around a wonderful pate/mousse. Everything but the leaves was edible. Even the toast with it was sublime.
Then my pork with cabbage, ham hock and Robert sauce. Gorgeous soft pork falling off my fork and wonderful proper chips to accompany it. My dessert was brown bread ice cream with salted caramel and then we all had the Heston special ice cream trolley where it is made in front of you using liquid nitrogen and topped with a variety of things like popping candy.
And the wine flowed and flowed. And conversation flowed and it was a great experience. Service absolutely flawless, food was great and my starter just incredible. Five stars.
Blogger's block
January 29, 2013
I've been blogging ten months now and have published 155 posts – which is roughly one every other day. And I have really enjoyed it.
But since we went away for a long weekend last Thursday, I've not been able to find inspiration on my return. It's not that nothing has happened. We've had a fabulous break with plenty to blog about. But somehow I just can't get the rhythm right. It normally flows out of me like wine from a bottle. Maybe that's the problem, I've not had a drink since our return as am still trying to be good. Well, not good, but better. Not drinking unless out or entertaining.
And of course I find ways round it – my diary is packed with get togethers! Tomorrow sees us out for dinner, Thursday a book launch and Friday an industry awards lunch that I got in such a state at last year that my son had to pick me up from where I was wedged, incapable in our front porch. Luckily he took me upstairs and threw me on my bed.
That's what I call good parenting.
This year I have to behave as we are going to the theatre in the evening so I cannot be completely wrecked in the stalls. Then Saturday a friend's daughter is off to South America so that's a good excuse for a farewell drink. See, got it all planned. Not a day without a drinking opportunity. And hopefully my drivel, rants and reminiscing will return with gusto. Whether anyone else wants them to or not!
My life in cars; part one
January 22, 2013
This was the early 60s and there were no seat belts or many rules. My father at the time had a beige Hillman Minx which I didn't like as much as Mum's car apart from the bench seat all the way across the front, but his number plate amused me – FM 274. I imagined it was a personalised plate and he was Farmer Morgan (as he sold grass seed to farmers) and 274 was our real telephone number. (Haha – just thinking about having only three numbers. Brilliant.) The bench seat meant I could sit right next to him if Mum wasn't in the car (she made us sit in the back) and he'd let me change gear when he pressed the clutch in.
We were a two car family as Dad bought Mum a Morris Minor convertible – GUT 200.
When we moved away from Scotland Dad had a bigger job and got a bigger car. A big green Zephyr. JHR something, but I can't remember. It was manual but had the gearstick coming out of the steering wheel. It was so cool. Big and boxy and loads of room to play in with my mates. Which we did lots. Mum still had a Morris Minor, but hard top this time – XVJ 514. Not as fun as the convertible, but again great for playing in.
Then Dad's boss left or something like that and we got his purple Ford Zodiac. Another oversized car and this time an automatic. Dad didn't like it so I didn't either.
In the mean time I was going out in to the night watching rallies through the forest. Getting to hear conversations about RS1600s, watching Timo Makkinen win the RAC rally, lusting after Mini Cooper Ss, and generally staying out all night with an excuse my mother thought acceptable. If only she knew.
Then I left home and came back to learn to drive before I went to University. My father at this time was a Sales and Marketing Director so still had a company car. But he was the one always telling the fleet of salesmen not to let learner drivers use their cars so he asked on of his Regional Managers to teach me. He turned up not in his wife's car as anticipated, but in the company Granada. My father turned away saying he hadn't seen and we set off to Radnor Forest where Mel taught me clutch control by making me balance on a steep hill and play with the clutch and accelerator until I understood the biting point. Then he got me to reverse and allowed me to smash in to a gate post just to learn what it feels like. He didn't care. It was a company car after all.
Then we set off and he would tell me to go as fast as I possibly could on the straight, urging me to put my foot to the floor. I was terrified at 20 mph but I was in a deserted forest so was safe enough really. But he would be shouting 'Faster, faster'. His father had been a policemen and taught advanced driving skills so he thought he would see which type of teaching I preferred; continuous commentary telling me what to do, or only interjecting when necessary. I opted for the latter after a few sessions of the former. Then I got some lessons with a proper instructor as I needed to use a car for the test and wasn't insured on the company ones. I had a woman with a Ford Escort.
She turned up to take me to the test in a different car. An estate. Still a Ford so still easy to drive. On the way to my test in December, just home from first term at Uni, I went in to a full blown skid as I rounded a corner. It was a great place to have your first skid as she just told me to keep my feet off the pedals and steer in to it. I wouldn't have known what to do and would have instinctively hit the brakes I imagine. All was well and we continued to Ludlow with hearts pounding. I had to take the test 20 miles away as there were no roundabouts or traffic lights in the whole county at that time.
I was the first test after lunch a few days before Christmas. Monday 19th. The examiner was a big bloke and was obviously the worse for wear. We set off and I turned left. My back wheels mounted the pavement. I reversed round the corner and ended up with my nose half way across the road. I simply realigned myself and did it again without asking. My back wheels continued to mount pavements. We came to the questions at the end. "What are pavements for?" "Pedestrians" "Yes, not your back wheels." It was a perfect opening for me to tell him I'd never driven the car before. He told me he'd seen me in town last week in it. I said that would have been my sister who was due for her test in two days time.
Then he asked me "What does a pretty girl like you need to drive for anyway? You'll always get someone to drive you." Did I raise my feminist hackles? Did I try to put him straight on the equality of the sexes? Did I buggery. Sitting in my short skirt and my skinny rib polo neck barely containing my heaving breasts, I was able to feed him the perfect line, "Oh, I'm going to be a doctor so I need to be able to drive to see patients. "
Saturday night in. Three stars
January 20, 2013
It's just not right. It's not natural. Being in on a Saturday night unless you're entertaining or got small kids to look after. But so it was we found ourselves in this position last night. I would just like to point out that we were a victim of circumstance and not that we had planned it this way. We were meant to be out at friends having beautiful food, wine and scintillating converation. Instead, the closure of Heathrow due to snow meant my husband was still travelling through the South of England on Eurostar on Saturday morning and one of our hosts was stuck in Jersey until Sunday. Nightmare.
So I thought I'd better pop to Waitrsoe to buy us some food. Oh my God it was mayhem. The queue for the car park started way back at the traffic lights. The car park was set up as for Christmas madness with cones blocking various cut throughs. The drivers were as atrocious and lazy as they always are. Waitrose shoppers believe they have a God-given right to park within ten metres of the front door and will wait for a space and block the entire car park rather than drive on and have to walk fifty metres.
Inside the shop was no better. There was panic buying. Cupboard-stocking. Shelves cleared of goods. People rammed in the aisles. I got to the checkout and the queues were three deep. I asked a passing supervisor if they could open more tills. "Lots of our staff couldn't get in today Madam". I found that somewhat surprising as London transoprt was working. Think it was more a case of lazy gits thinking they have a 'right' to take time off if it's slightly more difficult to get to work.
But I got the supplies.
Unfortunately the pork, sage and bean casserole was pretty tasteless so that wasn't a good start to the evening. Then, despite us having every single fucking channel possible, there was nothing on telly that I could see, but husband thought the snooker might be worth watching as he continued to do the crossword. As ever, I was minimal help on the cryptic clue-solving. I trawled our DVD collection in desperation. "Crying with laughter" still sealed and an "Edinburgh-noir comedy thriller" sounded right up our street. So loaded it.
Have to confess now nether my husband or I can work our very posh telly. We always get the kids to do the DVDs n shit as we can't. And oh how much did I want one of them last night. Or any of our previous housemates.Basically we needed some youth in the room. I could not get rid of the subtitles. I tried everything. Asking it to use French subtitles, asking it to hear the director's commentary, switching everything on and off numerous times. But nothing worked. After 30 minutes I didn't want to see the stupid fucking film anyway and husband had abandoned the room with his crossword.
I found Atonement. Both seen it before, but I felt it bore repeating. And it did. Salvaged the evening by being a four star movie and me weeping openly.
Then there was still time for the final frames of the snooker before bed.

So, I need to buy a mobile wifi device. Not a dongle but one that creates your very own wireless hotspot and allows 5 devices to connect at any one time. But I only want to use it every now and again so think perhaps pay as you go rather than contract. Google comes up with a plethora of information and I am drowned in a sea of meaningless contracts and GBs. 3G, 4G, 5Live. It's all above my paygrade. My last encounter with a phone shop (O2 in Ealing) left me reeling from the aggression, unhelpfulmness and rudeness of the overweight girl who "served" me. (See how I got an irrelevant personal comment in there – shows how pissed off I was. I revert to being ten and trading insults.) But at least she didn't get the sale (an iphone) as I took my business elsewhere. (OK, asked daughter to go the apple store and buy one as I was too bamboozled).
So with trepidation I clicked on the Three website to start seeing what they offered. I need to be prepared before facing the shop. And there I saw a little message "Need help? Chat to an advisor". So I did and "Janet" appeared in a pop-up window. I put it in inverted commas because Janet is such a vintage English name. No-one under 40 is called Janet. And this Janet did not have a real grasp of English. I only found this out after I requested she stopped cutting and pasting her responses as this does not constitute 'chat'. I would ask a question and every response would be three or four lines and not really answer my question. And she kept on and on asking me the postcode of where I was going to use it and I told her central London, W1. She needed more information. I said central London is fine for coverage, I'm not worried about it. But she wouldn't let it lie. Meanwhile I am asking about how many GB I should opt for – what's average use? I just have no idea. And she doesn't answer, but sends me a link to a 40 page price package indicator. Grr. This really isn't making things easier. So I ask again about average use for emails, surfing, listening to music…. And she asks me my postcode. And "Are you with me?" WTF? I said "Where?" As I understood it this was virtual reality. If I had been with her I'd've called her manager over by now.
But I do think online 'chat' is a great idea, but it has to be 'chat'. Not cumbersome company-speak. Real person-to-person interaction. Just as if we were really talking. Otherwise I might as well go to FAQ page myself becuase if you aren't going to actually listen to what I'm asking and just provide me with a generic answer it actually ends up putting me off your company rather than thinking you understand your customers.
This recent online 'chat' left me thinking I know more than her about mobile wifi. Which is a scary thought as I know fuck all.
January 18, 2013
Lovely midweek evening out with female friends. Four of us whizzed home from work, quick change and out to Waterman's Arts Centre. It is one of the most underwhelming venues in one of the loveliest locations – right on the river Thames opposite Kew Gardens.
It has been an institution for the 25 years we have lived in Ealing and serves the community with theatre, films, music and classes. It used to be a great music and quiz venue but despite its recent refurbishment is still a grim building and not one you want to spend more time in than necessary.
However, we had booked to eat in the Indian restaurant within it. Horrendous tables and chairs in a stark arrangement but surprisingly nice food and the wine of course slipped down a treat. Just the chat and the meal would have been a great evening out but there was more!
We were actually there to see Quartet – Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut which tells the story of the residents of a retirement home for ex- musicians. We have Maggie Smith and her withering looks, Pauline Collins as the sweet, loving dement, Billy Conolly who's mild stroke has disinhibited him, Tom Courtney, Michael Gambon and the list of stars goes on and on. A very easy, Sunday afternoon movie; trite, cheesy, fairly slow, predictable and shallow story but some humour, lovely snippets of opera and other songs, and poignancy made it perfect fare for my Thursday evening. Although I did have to nudge one of my mates to stop her snoring.
Three stars.
The Grazing Goat – a great central London pub/eatery
January 17, 2013
Had a hard day pounding Oxford Street and want a rest with a nice bite to eat but don't want to go to an anonymous chain? Try the Grazing Goat on New Quebec Street. Just north of Marble Arch.
Old pub with a modern feel. Lots of scrubbed wood and friendly efficient staff, tables packed in tight, locals standing drinking after or during work. And standard pub fare but posher. So all the classics, but with feta, sundried tomoatoes and an occasional risotto thrown in. Book a table in advance if you can. It gets busy. Four stars.

So long as one operates within the discourse of 'history' produced at the institutional site of the university, it is not possible simply to walk out of the deep collusion between 'history' and the modernizing narrative(s) of citizenship, bourgeois public and private, and the nation-state. 'History' as a knowledge system is firmly embedded in institutional practices that invoke the nation-state at every step -- witness the organization and politics of teaching, recruitment, promotions, and publication in history departments, politics that survive the occasional brave and heroic attempts by individual historians to liberate 'history' from the metanarrative of the nation state. One only has to ask, for instance: Why is history a compulsory part of education of the modern person in all countries today, including those that did quite comfortably without it until as late as the eighteenth century? Why should children all over the world today have to come to terms with a subject called 'history' when we know that this compulsion is neither natural nor ancient?
It does not take much imagination to see that the reason for this lies in what European imperialism and third-world nationalisms have achieved together: the universalization of the nation-state as the most desirable form of political community. Nation-states have the capacity to enforce their truth games, and universities, their critical distance notwithstanding, are part of the battery of institutions complicit in this process. "Economics" and "history" are the knowledge forms that correspond to the two major institutions that the rise (and later universalization) of the bourgeois order has given to the world -- the capitalist mode of production and the nation-state ('history' speaking to the figure of the citizen). A critical historian has no choice but to negotiate this knowledge.

Iranian-American memoir had been one step away from becoming a TV series
Washington - Funny in Farsi isn't making the leap to television after all, at least for now.
The American Broadcasting Company (ABC), the network that had bought the rights to a TV series based on the memoir by Firoozeh Dumas, had made a sample episode - a "pilot" - of the show. But it decided not to order production of the series for the broadcast season that begins in the fall.
Another network could decide to create a series based on the book, but it would have to start from the beginning: ABC owns the script for the pilot.
"I am so sorry and so disappointed. The pilot was hilarious and had many, many fans at ABC, but the decision came down to just one person, the president of ABC, and he passed on it," Dumas said on her website.
The pilot starred two Iranian-American actors, comedian Maz Jobrani and Marjan Neshat, as the husband and wife who face the challenges of adjusting to a new culture after moving their family to Southern California from Iran. The director was Barry Sonnenfeld, who also directed the movies Get Shorty and Men in Black.
"What I am most sorry about is that this show had writers, actors and supporters of all backgrounds and it was truly laugh-out-loud funny. It would have been a groundbreaking series, believe me," Dumas said.
American television never has had a successful series built around characters from the Middle East. Dumas had hoped that a TV version would give Americans a better understanding of people from Iran, as she said her books have done. She said the show's writers, Iranian American Nastaran Dibai and her American-born husband, Jeffrey B. Hodes, captured the spirit of her books.
Funny in Farsi and its sequel, Laughing Without an Accent, have sold well in the United States and have been widely read in Iran. And the Facebook site for the series had 12,000 fans from around the world, even though the pilot never has been broadcast. Dumas said she doesn't know whether the pilot will become available so some of those devoted fans can see it. If it does become available, she said she would like to post it on YouTube - if she can do so legally.

Just like any other field in computer science, there are specialized applications for designing websites. These applications are called web design software.
These software for web design come range in vast variety. There are free ones and there are seriously pricy ones. Some of them are made for general use and some are for one particular use. Many of them are crafted for designers and there are many others devised specialist developers. Today we check them all out.
Whether you're an experienced web developer or a newbie web designer, or even somebody who hasn't even started web designing yet, you would find this post useful.
Instead of making a huge list of boring, nonproductive software I've kept it short, only two or three web design software of each kind… but the best and most popular ones.
WYSIWYG Web Design Software
WYSIWYG refers to "What You See Is What You Get". That means you design in live environment, your design changes are previewed in real time and you don't have to edit code to make changes. You work in a designer friendly environment. These days WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) is also emerging on the web design landscape. This is somewhat the same thing as WYSIWYG, for more details please follow the link. All I wanted to say here is that I'm including both of these kinds of web design software here.

This tool was formerly called Macromedia Dreamweaver. Back then Adobe tried a lot to make a tool that really challenges Dreamweaver. They made Adobe Pagemill and then Adobe GoLive… but no use. Then Adobe bought Macromedia and now it is called Adobe Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver is the undisputed king of web design software. From newbies to experienced programmers, they all love it. It is one of the best software ever made, and we're not talking about web design only.
Price: $14.99 per Month
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X, Linux
Adobe recently launched this software. The idea was that Dreamweaver has just too many features and options, and that sometimes confuses the non-professionals. So they launched this tool that lets users to create websites without having to write or edit a single line of code.
If you like Adobe Muse, don't forget to check out its tutorials.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X, Linux
This is possibly the most famous freeware web design software out there. Of course it is not as amazing as Dreamweaver but it is sufficient at designing routine websites. It has all the necessary features, including tabbed code-design viewing, code correction and style sheet making.
Price: $69
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X
CoffeeCup HTML Editor
CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer
CoffeeCup is the inventor of easy web designing. They have been making software for easy web designing since 1996.
CoffeeCup produces two software, CoffeeCup HTML Editor that competes with Adobe Dreamweaver, and Visual Site Designer (costs $49) that competes with Adobe Muse. Mind you, Visual Site Designer has been around long before Adobe Muse.
Price: $79
Compatibility: Mac OS X
A software exclusively created for Mac users. This is a template based application and you first choose your desired template then you edit it to make your own website. You can find many RapidWeaver themes (templates) online.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X, Linux
This is definitely one of the best freeware solutions for web designing. You can make HTML5 and CSS3 websites here.
Code Based Web Design Software
Code based HTML editors, or code editors are the choice of professional developers. Of course you don't get a live preview here but most of these software specialize in writing server side scripts so there's no use of live preview.
These software focus on providing development friendly environment to coders. If you want to be excellent in web development, you should get one of these software installed.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X, Linux
This is my favorite tool (and I'm not getting paid to say that). Its main power is its plugins. Using the right plugins, you include dictionaries, auto-complete coders, validators and a whole bunch of things. It includes indentation and syntax highlighting for over 200 languages and it is very friendly with UTF-8 languages, including right-to-left languages.
If you are a newbie, I recommend jEdit because its design (in my opinion) is much more intuitive than other code editors.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Win
This has to be the most popular source code editor for Windows. It has been downloaded 27 million times and the number is still growing.
Very very simple to use. If you can use routine Notepad, you can use Notpad++. With features like tabbed windows, drag-&-drop and zoomed viewing this software is a tough to beat thing.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Win, Mac OS X, Linux

The peace talks fallout after Mamasapano
Things haven't been looking good on the peace front after the Mamasapano fiasco. The GPH-MILF peace process suffered a direct hit and now the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is floundering in Congress. The same is true for the GPH-NDFP negotiations. While formal talks have been stalled since the middle of 2011, a breakthrough was in the offing early this year. That is, until the January 25 firefight between the Special Action Forces (SAF) and the armed wing of the MILF (as well as the latter's breakaway group, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters or BIFF) dashed all hopes for some positive development in the peace negotiations for the remainder of the Aquino presidency.
The holding of the "National Peace Summit" last week by a network of four of the most consistent and persistent peace advocates' alliances was thus a hopeful sign in an otherwise bleak horizon. The Citizens Alliance for Just Peace (CAJP) brings together the Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP), the Pilgrims for Peace, Sulong CARHRIHL (Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law) and Waging Peace. CAJP is distinctive for having brought together groups from varied political persuasions. While specifically geared towards giving moral and political support for earnest negotiations between the GPH and the NDFP, CAJP's individual organizations have also been closely monitoring and supporting the GPH-MILF talks.
In their summit statement, the group deplored the "outburst of anti-Moro bias" and rejected the call for "all-out war" in the wake of the Mamasapano incident. They appealed to all concerned to learn important lessons from the fallout, surmount obstacles, set the process back on track and pursue the peace process with even greater resolve.
CAJP asserted, "Both the GPH-MILF & the GPH-NDFP peace talks can only lead to genuine and lasting peace if they lead to reforms that address the root causes of the armed conflict. In the GPH-MILF process this means upholding the Bangsamoro right to self-determination and rectifying and giving redress to the centuries-old oppression & exploitation of the Moro people."
In truth, the GPH-MILF peace process is at its lowest point today even when compared to 2008 when the GPH-MILF Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) was scuttled due to the Supreme Court decision that is unconstitutional. Adverse public opinion then was largely informed by the deep anti-Moro prejudice among the majority Christian population and fanned by economic and political vested interests in Mindanao opposed to a Bangsamoro homeland.
The MOA-AD negotiated by the MILF with the GPH under the Arroyo administration was unsalvageable because of the degree of political isolation suffered by the Arroyo regime. President Gloria Arroyo was widely suspected of riding on the call for amendments to the Philippine Constitution as a consequence of the MOA-AD in order to sneak in an amendment that would allow her to extend her term of office.
It was further complicated by the US role in shepherding the MOA-AD and taking an inordinate role in the GPH-MILF peace talks leading some quarters to accuse the US of wanting to bring about the pacification in Muslim Mindanao in order to push its economic and politico-military agenda unimpeded.
The dooming of the MOA-AD led to a split in the MILF camp with the more militant forces emerging under the umbrella of the BIFF The BIFF undertook military offensives versus the Armed Forces of the Philippines that led to hundreds of thousands of civilians affected by the renewed fighting.
In the wake of the Mamasapano debacle of the Aquino administration, the situation is far worse for the GPH-MILF peace process. Anti-Moro prejudice has been unleashed by the huge numbers of SAF commandoes killed (never mind that many Moro fighters and civilians were also killed). Charges of MILF brutality and violations of International Humanitarian Law are rife in light of videos showing the seeming execution of wounded SAF unable to fight back and the stripping of the SAF men's uniforms and personal effects apart from their weapons.
There is the mistaken notion drummed in by some vocal legislators and amplified by other opinion makers equally biased or ignorant (or both) that the ceasefire between the GPH and the MILF together with the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) is tantamount to the end of hostilities between the two. There is the wrong expectation that the MILF, in effect, has already demobilized.
But what really have helped put the peace process in extreme jeopardy are these: the obfuscation of the fact that the GPH had indeed violated the ceasefire and had provoked the firefight with the Moro fighters; the obfuscation of the fact that the ill-fated Marwan operation was also due to the lack of necessary coordination with the AFP for back-up and the apparent command to restrain use of AFP artillery fire leading to greater casualties on GPH side; the propensity to blame the MILF for the bloody firefight in order to shield President Aquino from accountability and blunt calls for his resignation.
The Aquino regime was supposed to be in the last stages of the peace process with the MILF. But Aquino's vastly diminished political capital (despite his intact presidential pork barrel to be given to cooperative members of Congress) is no longer enough to get Congress to pass Malacanang BBL without drastic changes.
Widespread anti-Moro sentiments have become the political platform of hard-line anti-Moro, anti-MILF and anti-BBL forces to bring about the rejection of the Aquino diluted version of the BBL or, with the acquiescence of erstwhile pro-BBL Aquino allies, the passage of far more diluted version of the BBL that will be no better than the old ARMM that Aquino declared to be a "failed experiment". Aquino is amenable to "any BBL" and he gambles the MILF will go along with him.
The BBL has come under scrutiny revealing not just constitutional infirmities but what critics claim are unwarranted accommodations such as tens of billions of GPH funding support for the Bangsamoro entity and a larger sharing agreement on income from natural resources than what the ARMM had enjoyed.
There are also legitimate concerns from pro-people and nationalist quarters that the BBL will only facilitate the unbridled exploitation of resources in Muslim Mindanao; further facilitate the entry of US troops, war materiel and overt and covert operations; and, due to the big role of Malaysia in brokering the talks, the further abandonment of the country's legitimate claim to Sabah.
On the other hand, the GPH-NDFP peace negotiations, after a seemingly auspicious beginning when resumed in February 2011, sputtered over the issue of the release of NDFP consultants covered by safety guarantees. It finally ground to a halt in April 2013 with GPH Panel head Padilla and OPAPP Chief Deles announcing that the GPH would no longer pursue either the "regular" or "special" tracks of the talks.
Only extraordinary efforts by some government emissaries to jumpstart the talks in 2014 resulted to the possibility of formal resumption the first quarter of 2015. But with the political crisis generated by the Mamasapano disaster, it has come to pass that the much anticipated breakthrough in the GPH-NDFP peace talks is once again stillborn. #

- Introduction
We can study the structure of language in a variety of ways. For example, we can study classes of words (parts of speech), meanings of words, with or without considering changes of meaning (semantics), how words are organised in relation to each other (syntax), how words are formed (morphology), the sounds of words (phonetics) and how written forms represent these (lexicography). There is no universally accepted model for doing this, but some models use the notion of a hierarchy, and this may prove useful for you. The framework (description of structure) you will study is written to be comprehensive yet succinct.
The most basic units of meaning are simple words (e.g.: dog, yes and swim) or the elements of complex words (e.g.: un- -happi- and -ness in unhappiness). These basic elements are called morphemes, and the study of how they are combined in words is morphology.
The study of how words are organised into phrases, clauses and sentences is usually referred to as syntax.
A longer stretch of language is known as discourse, the study of its structure as discourse analysis.
This hierarchy is partly explained by the table below, from David Crystal's The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Language.
Sometimes a noun is the indirect object of a verb: He gave the dog a bone.Bone is the direct object; it is what was given. Because it was given to the dog, dog is considered the indirect object of the action.
Nouns can also be objects of prepositions - words like to, in, for, and by - so the above sentence could read: He gave a bone to the dog. The words to the dog are called a prepositional phrase.
Some verb forms take nouns as objects: Drinking milk is good for you. In this sentence, milk is the object of the verbal form drinking. Such a combination of verb and noun is called a verbal phrase.
Nouns can show possession: The dog's collar is on the table. The collar is possessed, or owned, by the dog. All possession does not indicate ownership, however. In The building's roof is black, the roof is on, but not owned by, the building. Adding an apostrophe and an s to a noun shows possession ('): the cat's tongue, the woman's purse. If the noun is plural or already has an s, then often only an apostrophe need be added: the mothers' union (that is, a union of many mothers). The word of may also be used to show possession: the top of the house, the light of the candle, the Duke of Wellington.
- Pronouns
There are several words that are used to replace nouns. They are called pronouns. Pro in Greek means "for" or "in place of". Some are called personal pronouns because they take the place of specific names of persons, places, or thing, as in: Has Fred arrived? Yes, he is here. Here he is the personal pronoun that replaces Fred.
- Structure and style in sentences
For purposes of analysing style, sentences may be described as loose, balanced or periodic.
- Loose sentence
Here the writer or speaker states fact after fact as they occur, seemingly freely and artlessly, as in the opening of The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe:
"I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull: he got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade, lived afterwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznoer; but by the usual corruption of words in England, we are now called, nay we call ourselves, and write our name Crusoe, and so my companions always called me. "
- Balanced sentence
Here the writer or speaker has a concern for symmetry - the second half of the sentence contains a similar or opposite idea to the first half. These techniques are very effective in persuasion, and are sometimes known as parallelism or antithesis. Consider this from Francis Bacon (1561-1626):
"Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter: they increase the cares of life, but they mitigate the remembrance of death."
Or this from Viscount Grey of Fallodon, on the eve of the First World War:
"The lamps are going out all over Europe: we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
Or, finally, this spoken by President John F. Kennedy:
"Ask not what your country can do for you: ask what you can do for your country."

In some of the earliest accounts of Blackbeard's logs, he instructed his crew to steer away from certain "enchanted" waters for fear of Merfolk, which Blackbeard and many members of the crew reported seeing and documenting. These sightings were often recounted and shared by sailors and pirates who believed the mermaids were bad luck and would bewitch them into giving up their gold and then drag them to the bottom of the seas.
In February 2012, construction on two reservoirs in Zimbabwe stopped when employees refused to work there, claiming that mermaids had hounded them away from the sites.
After dozens of people reported seeing a mermaid leaping out of the water and doing aerial tricks before returning to the depths, the town of Kiryat Yamin in Israel offered a prize of $1 million for anyone who could prove the existence of a mermaid off its coast. This was in 2009.
The prize has not yet been awarded.

It's not very often, being that we are a Spa, we get the change to throw a big, fun, outdoor party. Mostly our daily goal is to relax and sooth our clients while we help them with their wellness and beauty goals. So, when we do have a chance to step up the energy level a notch, we like to do it big!
To that end, we are hosting a "Girls Night Out" the evening of Thursday, August, 6 at the amazing Regale Winery and Vineyards. (Those of you who were able to attend our anniversary party last year know how very special this location is, and how much fun we have there.) It's going to be an evening that celebrates wine, women and spa – a chance to have an exceptional time with your friends while being entertained with wine, food, makeup, jewelry, fashion shows, mini spa and hair style services, as well as hair and skin evaluations and guidance by some of the top pros in the business. And, for those who need a little retail therapy, you'll be happy to find that some boutiques will have offerings available for sale.
The evening is structured to be lighthearted and laid back. We're limiting ticket numbers to avoid crowding and each tickets includes your first glass of wine and a choice of food entree provided by Talula Bay Catering (yes, delicious.) There will be plenty of complimentary food trays sprinkled throughout the areas as well, because we know food and fun always go better together. Oh, and raffles, everybody loves the products we give away and it is such a thrill for us to hand over a basket full of spa goodies to some lucky attendee, we won't forget the raffle baskets!
So, a big "cheers" to summertime, laughter and friends. After all, they're some of the best stress relieving therapies of all!

Building on the success of its CompactRISC™ architecture in embedded applications, National Semiconductor® is deploying the CR16CPlus in its CP3000 Communications Processor devices. In addition, National Semiconductor is now licensing its CR16CPlus IP to SoC developers through Silvaco under the product name CR16CP.
The CR16CP is an advanced version of the 16-bit CompactRISC architecture, extending earlier CR16 family products by using the industry-standard AMBA™ AHB bus system, providing full 32-bit data memory space, and supporting Nexus 5001 compliant on-chip debug capabilities.
National Semiconductor's CompactRISC architecture was specifically designed for embedded systems and delivers excellent code density, low power consumption, and small die area with the ability to tightly integrate on-chip acceleration, I/O and memory functions. The CompactRISC architecture has firmly established itself by filling a previously unmet need—those applications that require significant embedded performance, but cannot afford the size and cost overhead of full 32-bit RISC implementations. The architecture is enhanced with valuable controller features, like a variable length instruction set and direct bit manipulation, to make it even more effective for embedded applications.
CR16 implementations have been proven in many National Semiconductor standard parts, such as their recent CP3000 Communications Processor family, which have proven valuable in a broad range of high-volume consumer communications applications. Other high-volume applications for the CR16 include automotive airbag, telematics, infotainment and lighting systems, Bluetooth devices, wireless systems like European DECT phones, and personal computer peripherals and I/O.
The CR16CP implements a 16-bit embedded RISC controller with a Von-Neumann bus architecture. Instructions fetches and data transfers are performed through the AHB. A load-store unit decouples data transfers through the AHB and allows the CPU to continue program execution while the data is being transferred from/to memory (when there are no data dependencies).
The CR16CP IP offered by Silvaco is an integrated IP package that includes:
- The CR16CPlus Core
- Cache support: Up to 8 KB instruction cache
- Nexus 5001-compliant debug support
- 3-stage pipeline: Instruction Fetch (IF), Instruction Decode (ID), Execution (EX)
- Variable instruction length (16, 32, or 48 bits)
- Backward compatible with National Semiconductor CR16A and CR16B products
- Supervisor and user modes for operating system (OS) support
- 16x16 multiply (configurable as single cycle or multicycle)
- Low power achieved through compact design and dynamic clock gating
- Double word arithmetic & load/store instructions
- 16 internal general purpose registers (GPRs)
- GPRs are 16 or 32 bits (two 16-bit GPRs can be concatenated to form a 32 bit GPR)
- 4 address registers
- Processor status register
- Configuration register
- Up to 11 debug control registers—depending on the number of debug channels (8 or 16)
- 16 MB code memory (linear address space)
- 4 GB data memory (linear address space)
- Supports data accesses on any alignment
- Instructions always 16-bit word aligned
- Non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
- Maskable interrupts (from up to 112 sources, managed by external interrupt controller)
- Traps
- Interrupt Stack
- Supervisor Program Stack
- User Program Stack
- Nexus 5001-compliant on-chip debug with 4-pin JTAG (IEEE 119.1) for Nexus 5001 Class 1 support
- Up to 16 hardware breakpoints/watchpoints
- Instruction single-step
- Non-instrusive measurements of execution time (clock cycles) between two watchpoints
- Optional "freeze" of peripherals while CPU is stopped in Debug Mode
- Instruction cache supported
- Configurable cache size: 1-8 KB
- 4-way set associative
- 16/64 lines per way
- 4/8 words per line
- Cache can be locked and invalidated
- Synthesizable Verilog source code
- Integration testbench
- Documentation
- Silvaco XPack packaging technology for design configuration, simulation, and synthesis with support for common EDA tools
Silvaco also offers a rich set of AMBA peripherals ideal for use with the CR16CP. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last year my entire cost of living increase went to Medicare.

I have aid into Socialism Security to buy Democart votes since I was age 12. I still have a lot of years to go until I get ´full´ benifits at retirement. And sure, it will not be whan I turn 65. I do know, uess I live to be about 112 years of age, I will have paid more into socialism Security than I will have recieved. Its nothing more than a Ponzi scheme and it is no comfort to me to kow that my retirement 401k will be far more important to me than the moeny I put into socialism security as a 12 year old. An increase to today´s socialism secuity recipents means less oney for me even though I still pay into it. ´m F......

But, will We earn $15 an hour ?For years they have said SS would run out of money. So what did Zippy do? Give it to people who never put a dime into it and call it an entitlement.For the younger people who say older people should have saved and put money in retirement funds.

$39 a month. It´s something, not much, but more than "THE MAGIC ONE" allowed, except for himself.I began drawing it when I was 69. I get a bit more than the 100%, it helps. I did some figuring once, I have to live until 87 to break even. Meaning I´ve gotten back dollar for dollar everything I´ve put in. I´m not counting for inflation, if I did, I´d never get even.

I am like most of you who feel that whatever increase we get in SS, will be eaten up in Medicare premiums. I have been blessed not to need to use Medicare yet and it makes me mad that Blue Criss keeps calling about doing a home health care visit. What I don´t understand is, if I am not using Medicare, why do my premiums keep going up. There should be some incentive not to abuse it.

Now if they REALLY want to help seniors they would NOT TAX their SS. It was taxed before they took it out, why do they tax it a second time? And if you have yet to receive yours, and for some reason people seem to know nothing about it until their time comes, you are taxed by the Feds and the State (if your State has taxes).

While your point about #7´s post is taken, #18, "savings" and investment have always been available, even if only cash stuffed under the mattress or the cookie jar. And with the value of money on a specie standard, inflation was generally not a huge threat. I knew more than one that socked cash away for their "rainy day" or future. They made do on working class peanuts.What must also be remembered is that at one time "retirement" was a family affair, with the eldest son often moving into the "homestead" while the elderly parents took the second bedroom, or attic. Meals were shared; generations grew together. The kids took responsibility for the welfare of their parents. And death came at home without expensive care. Different world.

A 2.8% increase doesn´t sound like much, and I hear a lot of sneering, but I could use an extra 50 clams paid to me monthly from a "plan" (i.e. a Ponzi scheme) to which I was forced to "contribute" for my entire working life.So many euphemisms, so little time -- but We never had any choice in the matter. When Ronald Reagan proposed some much-needed changes to Social Security (which were partially implemented, thank heavens), Teddy the "Lion of the Senate" Kennedy and the Tip "the Tippler" O´Neill howled in the Congress.As usual, President Reagan was right, and America is still trying to shake off the hangover that Teddy and Tipple left us.

Dermal Fillers
(for wrinkles and lines on the face)
Collagen is one of the key elements that keep our skin looking young, firm and smooth. Every time you smile, squint, or frown, you put stress on the underlying collagen in your skin, which results in the development of facial lines. Dermal Fillers are a replacment for lost volume in your skin.
Collagen replacement therapy is a safe non-surgical treatment that offers immediate and dramatic results to smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, and fill in scars.Is a Dermal Filler right for me?
As we age, Collagen is broken down. Depending on lifestyle such as; exposure to sun and pollution, heredity, smoking or drinking, and even smiling this breaking down process can be faster.
Treatment Areas
Treatment for Smile Line (Nasolabial Folds)
One Syringe
Two Syringes

Last week I was trying a new make-up look when I realized I always, always, go for warm tones.
I use gold, yellow, bronze, brown, but I rarely ever use silver or blue (unless I'm putting on kohl eyeliner, but then the eyeshadows that I use in combination are warm toned as well).
Today I'm changing up my old habits, I'm going for a cool toned make-up look.
How do you know if something is cool toned/warm toned? Well, it's actually quite simple:
Someone told me to think of hot things when I'm looking for warm tones. She said "a fire is orange, red, yellow, and sometimes brown" and that's how you know those colours are warm tones. Then she made me think of something cold, ice, for example.
Ice is white, blue, very light pink...
I will never forget this example because I thought it was so great. Of course there's more than just pink and orange in the world, so that's why I inserted an easy guide (and link to more examples).
I found this limited edition Catrice palette with cool toned eyeshadows, which was a perfect opportunity: I got to try the cool toned look and I got to buy a new palette!
Before we get into the look, let's see if this palette's any good. The first thing that immediately struck me is the palette. Reminds you of something, beauty lovers? A brand called MAC, for example?
This palette is the exact same one as the small ones you can get a MAC. I love these palettes. They are small enough to fit in beauty cases but big enough to hold four colours (- and there are a lot of looks you can make using only four colours). They're simple but don't look cheap, I like them!
I'm always a bit sceptical with very light eyeshadows. It happens often that dark colours have a lot of pigmentation, and light colours barely show up on the skin.
As you can see in the picture with the swatches, these colours are very well pigmented. I was actually quite surprised. To be honest, Catrice has surprised me more than once in these last couple of months.
Here's the eye look! As you can see, the colours are very soft (which is something completely different than what I'm used to), but I like it.
My dad - who is also influenced by my blogging ;) - noticed it as well and thought this look was nice as well.
I think this palette is such a nice palette for everyday. The texture is nice, I didn't have any fall out and the eyeshadow palette isn't very expensive either. I paid €4.99.
This palette is especially nice for you girls (and boys) who love wearing make-up but don't like to go too overboard. Or maybe if you're just getting into make-up, this palette is one for you!
A tip I can give you is to keep the palette after you've used the eyeshadows. You can get the eyeshadow pans out and fill the palette again with individual eyeshadows from MAC.
Normally if you go to MAC, you'll pay both the palette and the eyeshadows. If you take this palette with you, you'll be one step ahead (and a few euros richer)!
Thanks for reading!

From Goodreads:
"I love that you love me, professor."
"I love loving you, beauty."
Since their intense, passionate beginning, Professor Dean West and his wife Olivia have fought dark secrets and betrayal in order to save their marriage. Now reeling in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Liv and Dean are driven further apart by a vindictive threat to Dean's career.
Struggling to stand on her own for the first time in years, Liv is determined to defend her husband and prove herself. Then an unexpected letter dredges up old insecurities and endangers Liv's newfound independence. As Dean fights for his professional life, he is forced to confront his worst fear when he discovers that he can't protect his beloved wife from her own painful past.
My Thoughts:
If I can give 6 stars instead of 5 for this book, I definitely will! I loooooooooove the entire series! I gave 5 stars for both "Arouse" and "Allure", so it's only fitting if I gave a higher rating for the final book? I can't ...and won't stop singing my praises for the amazing Ms. Nina Lane!
It was rare to find a series that can maintain that "wow" factor up to the end. I feel super lucky to discover Ms. Lane's wonderful work!
"Awaken" was the perfect way to end this series. Though, I really don't want this series to end, EVER! I even read EXTRA slower this time...because...because I don't know how to deal with that serious book hangover ahead?! But, well, all good , perfect things are meant to end at some point of time... so, sigh. I know,I know... all I can do for now is to SIGH.
The road to marital bliss has never been easy for both Dean and Liv. Bumps and obstacles were always along the way threatening the strength of their bond. With Dean's career and reputation on the edge, and Liv's Mom's sudden reappearance ,I was more afraid how both of them will handle it. Or if Dean ever allowed Liv to handle it herself? I was left holding my breath most of the time!
Dean's fierce protectiveness to Liv was beyond astonishing! You can call him alpha male, caveman or however you want it, but me? I would simply call Dean, "the love of my life" ! *giggles* Oh, and the things Professor Hottie can do?! Ooooh.. fangirling starts now! Dean... Dean West can make me shiver and feel a lot of things I haven't felt before?! Ahhhhhhhhh! Yes!!!!!!!!! That intense!! I LUSTED ( eeep!! ) ....errr, love every single moment with Professor Dean West on it! For those who already read the previous books, you know EXACTLY what I mean...
" I'm at your feet forever , Olivia Rose" I whispered the instant before our lips met. "I'll move heaven and earth to give you whatever you want , whatever you need. "
Me to Dean :
Move heaven and earth?! Well, Dean...
"It's so easy to be with her, my lusty fairy ,my beautiful wife,. Wanting her is like breathing. Needing her was in my blood, And loving her will always be the beat of my heart. "
Me :
Lusty fairy?!! Oh. Em. Gee!!!
" I want to grab her and shove her up against the nearest wall. Rip her clothes off and fuck her until the earth trembles and the stars explode .Until the universe shatters ."
*stares at Dean seductively* Do. It. Now. Professor... shatter my universe! Hah!
Okay. Professor Dean West is just.... Y-U-M! Point taken.
My once criteria for my ideal guy was as simple as "just a good guy" . ..but what happened after I finished reading the entire series? I was completely ruined! Yes! Now I want someone EXACTLY like Dean! And I HATE the feeling that I know there will be NO Dean West out there. *sobs* Dean..Dean..Dean... *sobs again and again*
I also love how Liv's character grew up. The once afraid / shy Liv has finally blossomed into a fierce, strong willed woman . The once damsel in distress is now fighting beside her white knight. Liv and Dean together against anything in this world, nothing can ever defeat them. I loved that moment.
"We lift our left hands at the same time and place our palms together. Our wedding bands click softly as we entwine our fingers.
"You and me, professor."
"You and me, beauty.
Overall, I really love where the story went... Pointing to that wonderful place ...a place both Dean and Liv calls home...in each others arms. Best ending ever! I got goosebumps ....then happy tears.
"My husband and I will always be two people living one life of perfect imperfection. We'll always live here, in the place of Liv and Dean, where problems are solved and locks are opened"
I'm giving this book:
5 Bliss - filled stars!

Can PDX get by on one runway?
An alert reader writes:
PDX has been choked down to one runway for the last several weeks. Well, 1¼ if you count the Dash-8s using the cross-wind runway to fly to Seattle every half hour.What? Stop building unneeded stuff at the airport? Surely the reader jests. The third runway may be off the table for now, but come some full moon, it will rise from the grave. The West Hills construction Mafia gets powerfully hungry sometimes.
Have there been any delays? Have airlines had to cut flights? The place doesn't look like it's all that choked. Maybe we can get away with just one.

In finite element analysis, solid geometry of thin structures is commonly idealized as 2D midsurfaces and meshes, but the process is highly elaborate and time consuming. In addition, performing a structural analysis via the Finite Element (FE) method is also a long process often requiring numerous functions, inputs and clicks in existing pre/post processors.
This webinar will briefly discuss streamlined methods to expedite the midsurface creation process. A majority of the presentation will be devoted to how MSC Apex can be used rapidly configure midsurface meshes and perform a structural analysis via the FE method. The webinar will also showcase the integration of solid and shell elements via MSC Apex "glue" technology to quickly integrate a "bulky" solid section into an existing midsurface mesh.

Hi Silver.ReplyDelete
It has been a long wait. I was wondering what are going to say in a sacred description section.
Oh well, it was worth it.
Good Luck with next episodes, not many left now.
Thanks for your time.
Been looking forward to this! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
Started reading the Anne of Green Gables books, they're great, probably go a lot further than the anime though I'm not sure, good read and you can get them all on amazon for about.. 50 cents, just look for the collection of the writer if you're interested.

Authorities rescued nearly 100 dogs and three cats kept in "inhumane conditions" in a Detroit area home this week, after neighbors complained of a foul odor and loud barking.
The animals appeared to be in good condition when police removed them from the home, although they were covered with feces and urine. The incident raises questions about how animal cruelty is defined, as these animals appeared to have been well fed and cared for aside from the overcrowded and filthy conditions.
Authorities did remove the dogs from the home and are investigating potential health code violations and possible criminal charges.
St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon told CBS Detroit the condition of the home was unlike anything he had every encountered.
"Inhumane conditions," Sherriff Donnellon said, "they were running free on the first floor of the home – so they weren't crated, they basically had the whole run of the first level of a small house, where the husband and wife lived upstairs in a bedroom. Now, they were not without food or water but they were covered in feces and urine – they were unsanitary."
The Humane Society of the United States separates animal abuse cases into four categories: simple/gross neglect, intentional animal abuse and torture, organized abuse (such as cockfighting), and animal sexual abuse.
In recent years, states have strengthened laws preventing cruelty to animals. Prior to 1986, just four states had felony animal cruelty laws. Twenty-five states have enacted felony animal cruelty laws since 2000 alone, and several states have strengthened them since that time.
Today, all fifty states allow for felony charges on the basis of animal cruelty.
Most of the dogs found in Detroit were members of the Norwegian Buhund, Norrbottenspets, and Norwegian Spets breeds, according to the Associated Press. The AP also reports that the couple was breeding, rescuing, and showing the dogs.
The homeowners initially cooperated with police, handing over 22 dogs when authorities first visited the home on Tuesday.
They also willingly surrendered 23 dogs to a Colorado rescue organization for Norwegian Buhunds and nine dogs to the Humane Society of St.Clair County and six dogs to another shelter.
Yet, efforts to retrieve the remaining dogs met resistance from the couple, who refused to cooperate with police on Wednesday.
"On Wednesday, deputies and the Animal Control officer returned to remove the remaining dogs," said the sheriff's office in a press release. "This time, a search warrant had to be served to enter the home, as the residents refused to cooperate."
In total, 98 dogs and three cats were removed from the home.
"I think somewhere along the line, things got out of control," Donnellon told WJBK-TV.

"How the Internet is like a Small Town"
...Twitter is coffee shop of the world... the whole world can now know about the good or bad thing you did just like it's always happened at the small town coffee shop.
Reno County Commission Race.
This is also a local election so some of you may or may not have any interest.
Here's what I think about Reno County Government:
1. I think it (any Government) needs to running fiscally like a Business. The constituents are shareholders and some fiscal planning and responsibility to those shareholders is essential. I think financial planning and accountability are the cornerstones of running a Government, especially on a local level. I really would like to have a County Government that has a focus of reducing taxes through increases in efficiency. Is it possible, I really don't know but it should be a goal.
2. I think any organization the size of the Reno County Government, needs full time leadership and someone that has the ability to make decisions that is completely dedicated in their work time to making the right decision for an organization this big. i.e. A County Administrator.
3. I think Government meetings (any meeting really) should be run in an efficient and concise manner. I fully support a time for citizen discussion and for adequate discussion among the commissioners, but, I have seen many a meeting run in a giant gaggle of discussion and all time wasted without any decisions made. Not good practice with part time commissioners drawing full time pay. Not good practice ever.
4. My #4 is completely subjective in that supporting Law Enforcement is deeply ingrained in my belief system. Not blindly supporting them, I have written before that if we have bad cops they should stand before the man. But our Government has to be supportive of a bunch of guys strapping on guns and going out to deal with bad guys so we don't have to. Again, I stand fast on this, not blind support but support.
Ok if you skipped all the reasons and just wanted to know who I was throwing my support behind it's Brad Dillon. I have only met Brad a couple of times. Honestly he called several years ago and need a very small website. That one meeting is all I have ever really dealt with him face to face. He is someone I have watched through his days on the City Council and I believe he meets the criteria I have above.
I think it would be fair to say that Brad runs things in a very business like manner and efficiency is a focus of his.
He favors a full time administrator and other than their own job security I can't come up with a good reason a county commissioner would be against that.
I have seen him run meetings... If you are on a board of anything and want to learn how to more efficiently run a meeting, watch Brad Dillon, no time wasted but everything is as fair as possible, very efficient.
As far as Law Enforcement support, I have no examples, just a gut and personal discussions with people that may or may not be in the know. Again... I don't want the commission to grant every wish Henderson has but they can't be caught in some damn power struggle with other elceted officials because they don't really know who is in charge. (County Administrator solves that?)
Anyhow, there you go, thats my opinion.
As always we highly encourage, hell we are pleading for your comments. Cut loose if you have any interest. Add your own criteria, call me an idiot, do what ever.
If this is all to deep for you, go here and watch this great video and just be entertained.
3 comments:
As we have discussed before, I support Brad Dillon completely. He is very level headed and will approach each issue with common sense and indepth research. In my dealings with him while on city council his main concern was is this an efficient way to spend taxpayer money. That is why he supports the county administrator position. A county administrator is trained in operating government as efficiently as possible. We need to make sure we all get out an vote on Tuesday or before - we cant let apathy get the best of us on these small elections.ReplyDelete

New Source Energy Corp. expects its initial public offering of 9.1 million shares to price between $10 and $12 a share.
The company, formed last year to acquire and develop oil and natural gas properties, in August filed plans to raise up to $100 million in a public debut.
New Source plans to use the proceeds from the offering to repay debt, pay certain withholding taxes and to fund its development program and acquisition efforts.
The company swung to a loss in 2011 as the acquisition of assets masked a 20% jump in revenue for the year.
The company has applied to list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NSE.
