Hi Amanda,
I love the linen aprons in the second picture and I also love how they have displayed the rusty drawers - just makes you want to buy it (I suppose that's the point!!). As a matter of interest in the post where you show the pictures of the flowers in your shop - is that one of the carved wooden candlesticks 'cause I know you had them before in a couple of different sizes and I ummed and aahhed then. Hoping you are having a great weekend.
Take Care
Love Janine

As you all know, Oklahoma has been hit hard by tornados both Sunday and Monday night, especially in Moore on Monday night. It is so devastating, so heartbreaking. I live in Sapulpa, OK, right west of Tulsa. We are over an hour away from the devastation, but we did take precautions (were ready to go in the basement with 4 dogs and 1 cat) as they were headed our way but luckily didn't hit us.
Monday night everyone was connecting on facebook and my assistant, ShaRhonda Crow sent me a message of a picture of Oklahoma and then said the words Okie Strong – which gave me the idea for my drawing-quickly got out my wacom tablet and drew it out. I put the Heart where Moore and the other towns hit are located. I really just posted it on facebook to show my support for the victims. Well, everyone asked for me to make tees, so yesterday we jumped into action and they are being made right now and will be ready by Friday. All the profits will be going to the American Red Cross to help the victims of the tornados.
This is our first tee that the men can wear too-have had so many requests over the years. We did the tees in both berry (pink) and steel blue. They are 100% combed and ringspun cotton, men's sizing (fashion fit so flattering, not super boxy) XS-XXL. $25.
Also, we are making baseball caps too-and donating the proceeds-from sales of Okie Strong and Okie Strong Chick. You choose the colors. If you want a manly block font instead of our usual girly font, just denote that on your order.
I just am so proud of our state, and actually our whole country-everyone is pitching in to help in some way.
Above are the mockups of what the tees will look like.
Be grateful for each day. 🙂

Worst moments in Carolina Panthers history
What are the worst moments for each NFL franchise? Yahoo Sports provides our opinion, which you are free to disagree with (and we're sure you will).
Panthers Best Moments | All 32 Teams Best Moments | All 32 Teams Worst Moments
5. Fred Lane shot to death by his wife
An undrafted rookie out of Lane College, Fred Lane rushed for more than 2,000 yards in three seasons with the Carolina Panthers before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts in April 2000. Three months later, he was dead. Lane, 24, was shot and killed by his estranged wife, Deidra, as he entered his Charlotte home in July 2000. Deidra Lane pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2003 and served nearly six years in prison before being released in 2009. Lane was the leading rusher in Panthers history at the time of his death.
4. Jerry Richardson accused of workplace misconduct
On Dec. 14, 2017, Jerry Richardson was considered one of the most powerful owners in the NFL. On Dec. 15, a story broke of Richardson's alleged misconduct in the workplace. On Dec. 17, Richardson announced he would put the team up for sale. It was a swift and stunning turn of events for the only owner the franchise has ever known, for the man who brought professional football to the Carolinas more than two decades earlier. According to a Sports Illustrated report, four former employees had received monetary settlements due to Richardson's "inappropriate workplace comments and conduct," which were reportedly both sexual and racial in nature. Two days later, the Panthers were for sale. In a statement announcing his intention to sell, the 81-year-old Richardson did not address the allegations, but it's clear: in a highly charged time, when tolerance for this kind of conduct was coming under intense scrutiny, Jerry Richardson made the only decision he could to avoid subjecting himself and potentially other owners to uncomfortable investigations, now and in the future.
3. Cam Newton's struggles during Super Bowl 50 loss
The start of the 2015 season couldn't have been much better for the Panthers, and the ending couldn't have been much worse. Carolina won its first 14 games, Newton won league MVP and the team reached Super Bowl 50 … and then the roof fell in. Newton struggled mightily during the 24-10 loss to the Denver Broncos – 18-of-41 passing for 265 yards with no TDs and one INT, plus he did not jump on his own fumble late in the game. And the quarterback didn't do himself any favors in his postgame news conference. He gave short answers and looked more like a pouting child than a man who could lead a team to a championship.
2. John Kasay's out-of-bounds kickoff in Super Bowl XXXVIII
Many folks remember Super Bowl XXXVIII for Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, but Panthers fans might remember their kicker's failure at a critical moment against the New England Patriots. The Panthers reached their first Super Bowl in 2003 and had just tied the score at 29-29 with 1:08 left in regulation, and it looked like the Super Bowl was heading to overtime for the first time in history. But John Kasay inexplicably hooked the kickoff out of bounds, giving the Patriots the ball at their 40. Tom Brady drove New England to the Carolina 23 in seven plays, and Adam Vinatieri booted a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left for a 32-29 victory. Kasay is a beloved figure in Panthers' history, but Carolina fans are still wondering what if he hadn't kicked the ball out of bounds.
1. Rae Carruth
The Panthers have had their share of off-the-field moments in their history that they'd like to forget – including Greg Hardy's domestic violence charges and NFL suspension in 2014-15, and the murder of former running back Fred Lane by his wife, Deidra, in 2000 – but nothing has given the franchise a black eye more than the Rae Carruth saga. The team's first-round pick in the 1997 draft was convicted of conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams, in 2001 because he reportedly didn't want to pay child support. The baby, a boy named Chancellor Lee Adams, was delivered 10 weeks early and survived. He turned 18 in 2017, but suffers from disabilities due to the shooting. Carruth's projected release date from prison is October 2018. He will be 44 years old, and the Panthers' franchise will be dragged back into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has announced ACC Liverpool, home to BT Convention Centre and Echo Arena, as the chosen venue for its 33rd British International Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2013. The international annual congress will host over 1200 trainee, consultant and specialist obstetricians and gynaecologists from over 50 representative countries.
The three-day congress, organised by Hampton Medical Conferences, will take place 24-26 June 2013 and comprise meetings and seminars as well as exhibitors at ACC Liverpool, and a social programme at Liverpool Cathedral.
The RCOG put forward a bid for Liverpool as there were very few destinations in the UK that could comfortably accommodate large numbers of delegates under one roof as well as exhibition space and a range of hotel accommodation within walking distance.
Lynn Whitley, Director for meetings at RCOG said, "We put together the bid for Liverpool as it's one of the few places we knew could cope with accommodating our growing demands. It's great to know that they have the latest facilities and the venue is purpose built for meetings such as ours. The venue has integrated AV facilities which will be useful for us to webcast our meeting internationally and perform live demonstrations if necessary. We are really looking forward to our 2013 event just as I'm sure the delegates are keen to experience the city of Liverpool."
Kerrin MacPhie, Director of Sales ACC Liverpool said, "We are delighted to be hosting the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists after winning the bid this year. ACC Liverpool has established an un-rivalled reputation across the medical sector due to our understanding of the demands of these types of events. This decision is a reflection of the commitment that we have to surpass expectations and really drive Liverpool forward as one of the UK's leading destinations for meetings, events and exhibitions."
ACC Liverpool opened in 2008 and has since made a name for itself within the medical sector due to its flexibility in hosting large scale associations of this kind as well as destination support, further confirming the city's appeal to this sector.

Ellen Walthour, the BrandLab
Title: Executive director
Age: 40
Once a teacher who was curious about business, Ellen Walthour now is helping introduce diverse students to marketing and advertising as career options as executive director of the BrandLab, a Minneapolis nonprofit.
Walthour's focus is finding agencies and corporations to host high school students on paid internships this summer. She hopes to place 40 students this year, up from 32 last summer.
The internships begin in June and continue for eight weeks. Students spend the first week in the BrandLab Summer Institute, a boot camp in work readiness and marketing concepts that takes place at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design campus. Students work 12 to 20 hours a week on specific projects under a supervisor and a mentor who works with both the student and the supervisor.
Walthour joined the BrandLab in 2009 as program director before succeeding Jim Cousins as executive director two years ago. The program began in 2007 at Minneapolis agency Olson before becoming a nonprofit organization in 2008. Last summer, 18 agencies and corporations hosted BrandLab interns. Many interns come from BrandLab programs taught in 23 classrooms at a dozen Twin Cities high schools.
Walthour worked as a teacher in elementary and junior high schools in the Twin Cities before joining the BrandLab. She also spent two years teaching at an international school in Tokyo. When her interest in business, inspired by her husband's work in marketing, prompted her to interview for a position at Olson, a manager there recommended her joining the BrandLab.
Q: Why should an agency or corporate marketing department consider bringing in a BrandLab intern?
A: It's a good business decision. We have to create opportunity, and businesses are struggling to hire and retain people of color. You don't need to go to New York or California. We have a growing, diverse community here in the Twin Cities. And it can fill your soul to mentor a young person.
Q: What influences the students who go in the BrandLab classroom programs or summer internships?
A: It's creative communication. To be in a high-school classroom and learn there is a way to be creative in business is exciting for students. It's often a job they've never heard of. You can't ask for a job you don't know exists.
Q: What do BrandLab summer interns do?
A: We want them to experience what it feels like to be a researcher or a strategist. We have them make presentations. A great day is when the students have completed their work and they have their campaigns on boards and present their strategy and why they came up with the idea they did. Then there's a panel from the industry giving them feedback. It's a fun day.

Seeing as I shared my first month on Weight Watchers on my blog, I thought it would be good to turn it into a monthly thing so I can share my weight loss journey with you and some tips and tricks I have picked up.
So February was a bit harder for me to stick to, there was a lot of restaurant visits for birthdays and social outings, and although you get a weekly amount of pro points on Weight Watchers, using them still results in a loss, but obviously not as big of a loss as you would normally get.
I am still finding it quite easy to follow Weight Watchers, and I think there has only been a couple of days when I've thought, stick the diet I want to stuff my face, although I stayed strong!
This month I have lost:
Weight Loss - 4 pounds
Loss on Bust - None (yay, I love curves and was worried about loosing mine)
Loss on Waist - 1.5 inches
Loss on Hips - 1 inch
Loss on Legs - None (boo!)
Loss on Arms - 0.25 inches
Overall I have lost 10.5 pounds and I couldn't be happier.
It is definitely a slow process, but it's working and I think it will be easier to keep the weight off.
Now here is my Weight Watchers tip for the month.
Alcohol is bad.
Now I'm not saying cut alcohol out completely, I certainly haven't, but I have definitely cut back, in fact I have only had drinks at 3 occasions since New Years.
The reason I have avoided it is not only because it is high in points, and I hate wasting my points on drinks (apart from my weekend treat skinny latte's!), but it also makes you do stupid things.
I went to a bar with friends, had a great night and saved lots of points for a few cocktails, but as the drink started to hit and I got a bit drunk I completely forgot about my limits, ended up drinking way past what I had told myself I would, spent loads of money buying rounds, ended up drunk in McDonalds and with a killer hangover that could only be cured by a bacon sandwich, so not only was my diet a disaster that day, I was also pretty poor that week.
I also went to a dinner party, and although I didn't drink as much, I still had enough to get me tipsy enough to eat more then I should've.
I have been to a restaurant though and successfully stuck to my two glasses of wine that I set myself and had the meal I had planned. Restaurants are a good place to drink in my opinion because the alcohol is expensive so you don't want to buy too much, and where you are eating you pace yourself with the drinking.
The moral of these stories is, once I get tipsy the diet goes out the window. Two glasses is my limit, but I find it hard to stick to that so I have cut down on the drinking.
The less you drink, the more you can eat, the less you spend on cocktails and the less likely you are to do stupid things, win all round!

Interview with Lee "Scratch" Perry
At 73-years-old, Lee "Scratch" Perry has walked a path bordering on genius and crazy, something he might call "god's way." During his career, Perry was masterfully produced for Bob Marley, collaborated with Keith Richards and wrote for The Clash. He's considered by many as one of the creators of the "reggae beat" and dub music. Meanwhile, in the press his eccentricities have shined. In interviews his spirituality were sometimes construed as ranting babbles. Once after being asked about his belief in Jesus Christ, he flashed the journalist and said, "Here's Jesus Christ." Now his 44th studio album, Repentance, has been nominated as the "Best Reggae Album" for the 2009 Grammy. SFCritic spoke with "The Upsetter" from his home in Switzerland.
SFCritic (SFC): How was it making "Pum Pum" the video?
Lee "Scratch" Perry (LSP): I liked it. We made it in Jamaica. Lot's of pretty girls were there.
(SFC): I saw that there were a lot of pretty girls. It looked like you were having a good time.
(LSP): Yeah.
(SFC): You're a happily married man now. Would you make a pum, pum song about being a respected husband?
(LSP): If you listen good to the beat in Jamaican reggae music, the bass is saying pum-pum. Pum-pum-pum-pum. Pum-pum is just a sexy word we have. It doesn't have anything to do with music except musical vibration. It's not about sex. It's about the music itself.
(SFC): Being such a creative and experimental artist, how do you feel about artists sampling or mimicking your work?
(LSP): Well I feel admired. They're very sensible and wise. My work is reality and if you want to have a beautiful reality you don't need to pay me for it. I appreciate you. When you touch it, you have a reason, a dream to touch it. I have a dream that it will open some doors inside your brain. I want to hear what you have to say in it.
(SFC): Do you think your music translates through your spirituality or is it the opposite, your spirituality translates through your music?
(LSP): Well my spirit represents my god. My god love music. My god picked music to be a comforter. To comfort people who are sad. To help people who are sad to clear their minds.
My mother told the doctor to fix her heart. The doctor used mental techniques with words and songs with feelings that make the people who come want to dance. That is what my music does, make the people dance. People who come to my shows, they come to right up to front. You'll see them reach out and they want you to reach. [He laughs]
(SFC): At what point did you start collecting emblems and tokens of memories?
(LSP): Well the most important part of a human being is his memory. The other part that is important of being is the art. I love to collect art and put the art as a part of my memory. I believe in art, art culture. I believe in words. I believe in song. I believe in my crown. I believe in the sunshine.
(SFC): What do you feel most blessed for in your career?
(LSP): What I feel the most blessed for is the word of god.
(SFC): You told David Katz (author of Lee Perry's biography People Funny Boy) once that there are "no accidents, no mistakes—everything happens for a reason." Where are you now, and why?
(LSP): Where am I? I'm in Switzerland.
(SFC): And why?
(LSP): In Jamaica there were too much people to see. I left them all because they all try to use me. I was not working anymore and I was asked to tour. So this was God, I wasn't supposed to support these people anymore. I had supported them enough, given them enough. God made that happen, that magical road to London. Then from London, now I'm in Switzerland. God arranged that also.
(SFC): A lot of people point to "People Funny Boy," and "The Upsetter" as the framework for battle songs in hip hop and dancehall today. From your experience, do you think the battle songs today are more violent, more real, or different from these two songs of your work?
(LSP): There is more violence today because the people want it. I don't know what they're preaching. I don't want to criticize them, but we need some more spirituality right now. Something like, telling you what to do when you have trouble. What to say when you have problems. This is what we need to help the people who are in misery.
(SFC): Have you followed the Gaza and Gully issue in Jamaica?
(LSP): Nothing at all about that.
(SFC): You know nothing about it?
(LSP): I'm not on that level. I keep my temple as I live in church. My church has nothing to do with ghetto. Nothing to do with Gully. Nothing to do with Gaza. I'm more about legalizing for culture. The herb. Sensemilla. Hashish.
(SFC): You're going to have a great time when you come to California. Oh–but you don't smoke anymore.
(LSP): I'm not smoking, but you can use marijuana in so many ways. It's a spiritual drug. You can boil it, and make it into marijuana tea. You can make marijuana soup. You can make marijuana clothes.
(SFC): What do you put in your soup?
(LSP): Vegetables. You don't know me!
Lee "Scratch" Perry performs at The Independent on Dec 18th. Tickets are $25. Doors open at 8:30pm and the show starts at 9pm. This article is reprinted as seen on SF Station.


text: The full story of the 2009 war in Sri Lanka has largely been ignored by the global press and international society. PositiveNegatives is telling the story to a new audience and simultaneously telling it in new ways to the few that already knew it. Tens of thousands of Tamil civilians were killed in a conflict, which left unreparable damage to Sri Lanka, but also to the international community´s reputation for protection of human rights. The Vanni needs to be heard in order to avoid it happening again.

(Merengue MPA-4056).
Blind accordeon player Domingo Luis Garcia (Minguito) recorded throughout the 70s with various bands from Angola as Os Kiezos, and here with Conjunto Merengue on this beautiful 7 inch.
As usual on these records : "Disco E Cultura", and explanation is given on the back about introduction of accordeon in Angola (named Sanofa) :
"Sanfona arrived during colonial era, played with quadrille dance, with rhythm from reco-reco rubbing, and almost always with an enamel plate with teeth off the edges. Accordeon players used to improvise funny verses about daily life. It was the "Rebita" from the twenties, when "Sanfoneiros" were kings of the party."
Later guitar introduction enriched this original music form with additional influences, including from portuguese-speaking countries. Also african traditionnal rhythms (re)introduction and urban electric guitars offered new possibilities, here perfectly balanced with Minguito's accordeon, leading to such inimitable rolling grooves from Angola.

Butts Heads With Cop in Jailhouse Vid
T.I. was adamant he didn't deserve to be arrested for an incident with the security guard at his gated community, because he was just trying to ask the guy some questions … according to security footage from the jail.
In the vid — obtained by TMZ — the rapper's pretty calm and collected while going through the booking process at the Henry County Jail in Georgia early Wednesday morning … until he tries to get an explanation from the cop who arrested him.
That's when the officer tells Tip he was "acting like a fool" … which he strongly denies. T.I. claims it's his right as a homeowner in the community to question the security guard working the gate, but as you can see … the cop disagrees.
Eventually the cop and T.I. do come to an agreement, though … to settle matters in court.
As we reported … T.I. was arrested for simple assault, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness after getting into it with the security guard. According to the police report, the guard felt threatened and called cops, and when they arrived they could smell alcohol on the rapper's breath.
He was released without bail.

Ten years ago, 9/11 changed our psyche concerning national security and personal privacy. Our economy has become fragile due in part to military commitments in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as reckless spending at several governmental levels. Homeland Security struggles to find a cost-effective strategy against domestic attacks, including grants for first-responder training, airport security, and measures to protect ports, harbors, and the vast U.S. coasts and inland waterways. The challenge is to seek opportunities for heightening security that are low-cost, efficient, and readily available. One such organization, already in some states, is the Naval Militia.

We are delighted to present the fantastic The Emperor's Body: A Novel.
With so many available these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. The The Emperor's Body: A Novel is certainly that and will be a excellent buy.
For this great price, the The Emperor's Body: A Novel is highly recommended and is always a popular choice with many people. W. W. Norton & Company have added some nice touches and this results in good value.
Manufacturer Description
Napoleon, twenty years dead, rises like a phoenix over the politics of France and the destinies of three lovers.Against the historical backdrop of the French expedition in 1840 to retrieve Napoleon's body from Saint Helena, two men and a woman find themselves engulfed in long-dormant and dangerous political passions.
Philippe de Rohan-Chabot, an aristocratic young diplomat, is charged with bringing the body from the island prison where Napoleon died to a glorious tomb at Les Invalides in Paris. Chabot's rival is the aging diplomat and author Henri Beyle, known to posterity as Stendhal. The enigmatic and impulsive Amelia Curial must free herself from the shadow of her mother's scandalous loves and untimely death, and from the life of stale convention that her family urges upon her. The dead emperor is a token in a political game to appease the enemies of the monarchy, but that gamble imperils the king's rule and a new revolution looms. Meanwhile, the interplay of the three central characters traces a delicate pattern of romance, longing, misunderstanding, and the obstacles to the pursuit of happiness.

Anyone can start a blog. Unfortunately, most of those writers fail to continue their work after the first week. I think a lot of people stop writing because they get locked into their view stats. They figure that since no one is reading, why keep writing? Sure you started that blog for yourself, but you hoped that at least someone gave a damn!
Well there's good news! If you truly want your blog to take off and have consistent traffic, stop treating it like a hobby and start treating it like a business. Consider the following questions:
Why: Why are you writing?
- What will drive you to write today, tomorrow, and 12 months from now?
What: What's your subject?
- I suggest going with a specific category. If it's something broad like politics, then what's your spin? What's your angle?
Who: Who's your target audience?
- Write to a single audience! I can't stress this enough. Blogs that go between 10 year old males and 60 year old females lack the consistency to have returning readers. If you're a blogger for a municipality, write to the type of people that will come to your events: families, ages 35-60, what are their needs and interests?
Where: Where do you see your blog in 1 month? 6 months? 2 years?
- Plan out your views and set goals.
How: How are you going to reach your goal?
- Your product is your writing, your goal is your answer from the previous question. How do you plan on getting there? Will you be consistently looking for new readers? Will you be advertising your blog on the internet? In real life? Using social networks? Will you be buying ads?
Do your research: Are there other writers writing about my subject? What do they have to say?
- Say you write about food. What are the biggest food blogs on the web? What makes them successful? What could they improve? Where are they getting their readers from? Where are they advertising? Think of them as competitors and pick apart their strategy.
Redundant but another way of thinking about the How question: Think of your sales goals in terms of views.
- In sales you are required to forecast your sales for the month. This is based on the accounts you have been working and that you think you can close. Think of views as the exact same way! Let's say your goal for the month is 1,500 views. How do you get there?
Answer these questions and you'll be in better place to create a blog that will succeed in meeting your goals. Best of luck blogging!!!

Planning a short visit to stylist before the big day? Before you do, let's brush up our knowledge on wedding hairstyles for medium hair and how to achieve them yourself. However, once the decision is made, do seek advice from a friend for an honest opinion, particularly if you end up trying something totally different and rather unexpected just before the wedding day. Here are four of the most popular hairstyles for medium hair used by brides on their special day.
1. The classic yet simple side ponytail
When looking for wedding hairstyles, medium hair length is a great starting point. This type of length will go much easier into a side ponytail, being long enough that no hair extensions are required and also because any curls can be shaped nicely to frame the face. If you are not a person that likes to be heavily accessorized, go for small and simple clips and pins. You could also leave out accessories all together and just add a veil or tiara.
2. The Beehive updo
When it comes to updo hairstyles, the beehive updo along with any curled updo are very much in vogue at the moment. A beehive updo, as the name suggests, is a bun that's made to look like a beehive. Whilst it may not sound like a particularly attractive look, once you see it, you will understand why the style has remained so popular since the 1960's! Accessories such as flowers and gems go well with a beehive updo as well as veils and tiaras, which also add well to this type of style. When doing a curled updo, this can be a full curl updo or made up of half curls, half natural style. In a full curled updo, the bun is tied up with the curls kept near the ear, whereas with half curled updo styles, some of the hair is left down to frame the face.
3. No ordinary Bun!
The bun hairstyle is one of the most common wedding hairstyles for medium hair, mainly because of the classy and stylish look it creates. A bun can be done with many different variations and can be worn for the whole day without slipping out (when done correctly). If you secure a bun with a lot of grips, you can rest assured, it will stand the test of time and stay firm throughout all of your evening dances. You can use accessory grips and pins to add some sparkle to the style rather than having lots of practical grips on show throughout the day.
4. Hair braiding, anyone?
When creating a bun, all of the hair is usually rather neatly tied up. However, if you wish to create something a little different, you can also braid the top of the hair too. This type of style goes well with veils or without one and a tiara can also be added to enhance the look of the classic bun style.
Don't forget to have done a mock run before the big day day. A little bit of ease goes a long way with a wedding hairstyles for medium hair doesn't have to be a challenge!

Most people that have had a troubled past are more likely to have troubled futures unless they find a way to break the cycle. Yes my friends if your past is filled with plenty of disappointing relationships that ended with some one getting hurt mainly you your future relationships may follow that same dreaded path unless you find ways to break that cycle. Its not going to be easy either my friends. Anything that you want your going to have to work very had to make happen.
One of the reasons why relationships end is because one is doing everything to save it, and the other is finding every way to end it.
Most relationships fail because we spend too much time pointing out each others mistakes and not enough time enjoying each others company.
Relationships fail because of trust issues, commitment issues and communication issues.
Holding on to these issues is a no no that we dont want to get into the habit of doing people. I have gone through several failed relationships and sadly the failed relationships heavily out weigh and out number those successful ones. Take it from me your friendly neighborhood Sexpert Guru a man on a mission and the mission is to help you avoid failure by exploiting my mistakes so that you dont have to repeat them.

Apple's whirlwind event in California on Wednesday evening has brought us several new products and a new insight into Apple's direction.
If you weren't glued to your screen to watch it as it happened, here's our round up of everything you need to know about it waking up this morning.
The iPhone 7 is officially here. Yes, we were all expecting it, but here's the inside scoop on what's new - including a pretty impressive camera that's almost as good as a professional one. Oh yeah, it's also water resistant. Rejoice.
It wasn't Apple ditching the headphone jack that sent Twitter into meltdown, it was more about what Apple created to replace it - a slick looking pair of wireless headphones which have one fundamental flaw after you've taken off the wrapping.
Ever fancied going for a swim wearing your Apple Watch? Now you can! Or wanted to play Pokemon Go on it? Now you can! Oh yes, and they're also making the original Apple Watch cheaper (again). We're sure that doesn't mean anything at all...
Nintendo has spent the last decade pretending smartphones don't exist. It's finally ready to embrace them and give people the game they've been hoping for - Super Mario. Find out more
If you're wondering what all that's done to Apple's prospects in what is surely going to be called its annus horribilis by the end of the year (a bad year for Apple is a stellar one for any other company), we rounded up the analysts' verdicts, one of whom responded to the waterproof watch saying: "Great, now I have to start swimming again."
If you don't much fancy the newest iPhone, or are holding out until next year, then don't worry, your existing iPhone will soon get some fancy new functions with the iOS 10 update. Here's when it's coming to your phone.
Oh, and Tim Cook did Carpool Karaoke with James Cordon and Pharell. Of course.

CMJ 2012 was such a great experience for me. I was fortunate enough to host a CMJ-themed episode for MTV's Weird Vibes. This meant that I got to skip lines, check out a ton of live music, hang out with the rich and fabulous and interview bands. If there was ever a gig I was born to do, this is it! You'll be hearing more and seeing the episode very soon and of course, I will let you know all the details. But for now, I want to hip you to some singers and bands you might not be familiar with.
This post is about Scottish electronic music composer Oliver Sabin aka Unicorn Kid. As of this writing, Unicorn Kid has just turned 21 years old! He started making music at age 15 and by age 16 was remixing Pet Shop Boys (for their single "Did You See Me Coming")! We talked a bit about Pet Shop Boys as they are one of my favorite groups and Unicorn Kid talked about being involved in a scandal when the press reported how much he made for the remix! The future is very bright for Unicorn Kid and I am very excited to hear more great things from him! Thanks again for being very cool to talk to!

Playing Catch-up
My recent illness has set my schedule back a few days. Not a good thing. Not a good thing at all. Have a completely unrelated image as compensation. I'm very close to finishing the next episode of Idem. That will definitely be done tomorrow.
The game contains 1230 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 12637 words,
for an average of 10.3 words per screen.
The game contains 0 menus.
Everything else has been pushed back a little bit, but it should all come together within the week. Provided I don't get sick again. @_@

Picture of the Week: Feist Checks Out Bon Iver's Soundcheck at Red Rocks
It doesn't take a hipster hippie like Feist to appreciate the beauty of catching nature nut Bon Iver under the big blue skies of Colorado as captured in this picture. The Grammy-winning Bon Iver was sound checking as he prepared for his headlining set at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Morrison, Colo., and show opener Feist recognized a gorgeous moment when she saw it. She snapped this pic, later posting it on her Twitter page for the whole world to see.
The sold-out concert took place on Thursday, May 31, and Feist for one couldn't wait for it to go down. "I've never been there," she said of Red Rocks ahead of the show. "It's supposed to be one of the most beautiful outdoor amphitheaters in the world. It's a natural sort of old Greek-style amphitheater, and I'm playing there with Bon Iver, so that's exciting."
Exciting, indeed. The two also rocked the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash. -- often considered the second most gorgeous outdoor venue around -- the previous weekend as part of the 2012 Sasquatch! festival, so that's quite a run of stunning beauty. We bet their music sounded especially amazing!

The Aggressor Gene
Carl Pfeiffer
AuthorHouse (2014)
Reviewed by Jennifer Hass for Reader Views (12/14)
Article first published as Book Review: 'The Aggressor Gene,' An S-F Novel by Carl Pfeiffer on Blogcritics.
"The Aggressor Gene" by Carl Pfeiffer is a science fiction novel following the beautiful marine biologist Susan Miller and her brilliant research studies under the sea. Susan studies the behaviors of squid and octopus at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. After a couple of marine research divers disappear, Susan is sought out to help find out what is going on, where she soon finds herself in the Western Pacific investigating increased submarine seismic activity.
Pfeiffer brings to the table a very technical, but unique storyline. Is it possible there are giant squid out there devouring human flesh within a split second? Could there be something in the DNA make-up that could create such a sea monster? Without an eye-witness siting, researchers are left to question what is really out there in the ocean. I am in no way, shape, or form a scientist however the details were believable and made me wonder what was really true and what was fictitious.
The author is a professor of biomedical sciences, and with his credentials I dare not question what part of this story is fiction. Of course, that is the idea. That is the beauty of science fiction. At the end of the book, there is a note to the reader that one has to decide for themselves.
"The Aggressor Gene" was a pretty quick read for me. There were a lot of characters, in depth dialogue and different associations that were sometimes hard to keep track of it all. The experiences of the characters were exciting and made the short chapters quick and enjoyable. As I mentioned before the concept is unique. I really had to sort out in my mind what was really possible and I learned a great deal about the Molluscan species, even if some of the details were fabricated a bit.
I believe that readers who are into marine biology or into science in general will really enjoy this novel. "The Aggressor Gene" by Carl Pfeiffer was definitely a thrilling read for me. It's definitely something that got my wheels turning.

To the few readers who do check my blog…..apologies for lagging so far behind. I have taken on some new tasks recently that have been absorbing my time. I always vow to post to this blog more often and then it gets postponed.
I hope you will still check it out once in awhile.
My health condition is stable except for my back, which continues to worsen. I am seeing an osteopath at the local medical school here at the NM State University. She may be able to help.
My condolences to you who are suffering still the ravages of winter. Today it was 80 degrees here. Temperatures vary some, but it will get warmer in the next couple of months. Winds are blowing, however, as they always do. If you are thinking of visiting New Mexico, please don't come in the spring.!
So….here are a couple of poems. I missed blogging about St.Paddy's Day, so even though it is past, here's a poem I call
A leprechaun is an odd little thing,
I'm sure one lives in my house.
I see his footprints everywhere
though he's quiet as a mouse.
He's cheeky and sneaky, leaves only a trace
of his trickery, but well I know
'twas not me who locked the door last night
and left the dog out in the snow.
He hides in my computer too
and moves the keys around.
So when I'm typing out my poem
he makes mistakes abound.
Things appear where they don't belong
not where I think they should be.
But it's rather nice to have him around
to blame things on, you see.
Here's the sort of poem I write when I'm feeling old:
I can control
my temper,
the temperature,
my tongue,
my children,
my reactions,
my health,
my diet,
but I cannot
control the years.
They fly by me,
laughing hysterically,
knowing they will
have the last word,
when I will have
no control.
More soon……….I hope !! Happy Easter.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - British actors Hugh Dancy and Ben Whishaw have won praise for their turns playing troubled gay lovers in a New York production of a play that jumps back and forth from repressed 1950s London to 2008.
The pair portray two couples in the different eras who anguish over emotional isolation and gay identity in "The Pride," which opened off-Broadway in New York on Tuesday night after the drama received an acclaimed debut in London in 2008 with different actors.
Dancy, 34, who is married to American actress Claire Danes and starred in the 2009 film "Confessions of a Shopaholic", and Whishaw, 29, who played poet John Keats in the recent Jane Campion film "Bright Star," both received positive feedback from U.S. critics for their performances.
"The evening benefits immeasurably from the performances of its British leading men, Hugh Dancy and Ben Whishaw," said the Hollywood Reporter.
Showbiz newspaper Variety said Dancy's "ability to convey the longing beneath his harsh behavior is especially moving," while describing Whishaw's debut on the New York stage as "tremendous" and adding his film work "barely hints at the actor's riveting stage presence."
New York's Daily News said "Dancy is particularly good as the controlled 1950s Philip, who can't acknowledge his same-sex longings" and Whishaw was "a wonder to watch."
The New York Times was less enthusiastic, although mostly reserving polite criticism for the writing by the play's author, Alexi Kaye Campbell, than the performances.
"Mr. Dancy, who was excellent in the Broadway revival of "Journey's End' has two thankless roles," the review said, while Whishaw "exudes a compelling, contained nervous energy, but he suffers from his characters having to explain who and what they are."
Actor-turned playwright Campbell won several new writing awards in London last season for the drama that debuted at the Royal Court Theater.

Just recently I wrote about the clever "dual ABI" hack found in GCC 5's implementation of the standard C++ library. I quipped at the end of that post:
I suspect the right way to handle changing ABI is to do it the way it's always been done – by bumping the soname.
Having recently done some work on a C++ project, I've discovered an issue present in the dual ABI implementation. What seemed like trivial code to handle an exception from attempting to open a non-existent file just wasn't working. I worked it down to the following test case:
#include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <typeinfo> int main(int argc, char **argv) { using namespace std; using std::ios; ifstream a_file; a_file.exceptions(ios::badbit | ios::failbit); try { a_file.open("a-non-existent-file", ios::in); } catch (ios_base::failure &exc) { cout << "Caught exception on attempt to open non-existing file." << endl; } catch (exception &exc) { cout << "Caught standard exception: " << typeid(exc).name() << endl; } return 0; }
Surprisingly, this fails to work properly (prints the wrong message) when compiled with a straight "g++ -o simple simple.cc". It works correctly when compiled instead with "g++ -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 -o simple simple.cc". I would have filed a bug, but it seems the problem is known.
This is a pretty major bug. Any C++ program that handles I/O errors by catching the appropriate exceptions just isn't going to work. Furthermore, this isn't just a minor problem; having to separate out implementations of iosbase and derived classes for the two ABIs would significantly reduce the benefit of even having the dual ABI. The problem with "clever" hacks like the dual ABI libstdc++ is that they are (1) often not so clever and are (2) always most definitely hacks. The proposed solution? Heap more hacks on top so the first hack works:
One option to make both forms work would be to hack the EH runtime to make handlers for std::ios_base::failure able to catch std::ios_base::failure[abi:cxx11] objects, and vice versa, creating an object of the other type on the fly.
Urgh. Just urgh.
What really annoys me most about this nonsense is that the one sane option I have – stripping out the 'abi_tag' nonsense from the source, re-compiling libstdc++ and calling it libstdc++.so.7 – would probably cause me problems further down the track, because third-party binaries are going to want the new ABI with the old soname (and even if I didn't care about those, I'd still be one version number up from the official libstdc++ from that point on, which feels like it could cause problems).

The card is cream colored because I found white too stark.
My blogging friend Izzy who also posted a card for this occasion (check it out here, it is phenomenal) used the same color scheme and described why:
Red is the traditional color for the Lunar New Year. It announces a happy event and is a symbol of prosperity and happiness.
Gold is a symbol of nobility and wealth.
Black is a symbol of strength, nobility, and honesty.
I made my card a week ago and sent it out already so it would arrive by today. I did not copy Izzy's color scheme but used it intuitively. Izzy's card is much more spectacular. Check it out!
Rooster qualities – commitment, loyalty, honesty and outspokenness – can help us all in 2017. The Rooster's vivacious and charming energy draws people to them and they can be quite influential. In 2017 with Rooster energy abound, we can all be change-makers.
All my best wishes for a happy year of the Rooster!

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Suncorp Group Ltd (SUN.AX) told a powerful inquiry into financial sector misconduct on Friday that it had extended loans negligently in some cases, but that it acted fairly in pursuing customers struggling to make repayments.
The country's sixth-largest bank by market value made the comments at the quasi-judicial Royal Commission which, under halfway into a year-long inquiry, has uncovered widespread malfeasance by Australia's biggest lenders including fraud.
The Commission is due to report its findings in September and can recommend criminal charges and legislative change.
In its first appearance at the inquiry, Suncorp said it showed "good intent" when pursuing repayment from unemployed Jennifer Low for five loans to her husband, who died in a 2015 workplace accident. Head of banking David Carter said Suncorp had grounds to demand immediate repayment, but opted not to.
Her son, Rien Low, told the inquiry the bank had shown no compassion. Neither family member knew of the loans, and the woman, widowed at 62, had to sell her house to repay four of the five debts.
The family took the case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) which found Suncorp extended the fifth loan without checking the loan's purpose or regard to whether the customer could repay, the inquiry heard.
Suncorp accepted the finding, but nevertheless requested the balance of over A$200,000 ($151,480) be paid within six months. It eventually agreed to a lengthier repayment period, with the first five years interest free.
"The impact we may have had has not always been right and perhaps some of our communication could have been better," said Suncorp's head of banking, David Carter. "But when I look at the way in which it (the widow's case) has been approached, I see good intention."
When asked by the barrister assisting the inquiry, Rowena Orr, why the widow was not allowed to repay the balance over a longer period of time without interest, Carter said repayment would have taken 17 years and that the option was unreasonable.
"I want to put to you that applicants may not proceed with applications to FOS if they realize that this is what success looks like," said Orr. "You saying you now have six to 12 months to pay the entirety of the loan off even though it was lent irresponsibly to you?"
"I accept that," Carter said.

Getting out of Debt
How to Sell an Upside-Down Car
4 Minute Read
One of the things you'll hear most often on The Dave Ramsey Show is pretty simple: Sell your car!
Dave generally says that after a caller reveals they have a bunch of their debt tied up in a car loan. Getting rid of the car is one of the easiest and quickest ways to dump a bunch of dead-weight debt.
But sometimes selling the car isn't so easy. What if you're "upside-down," meaning you owe more on the loan than the car is worth?
Know How Much You Owe
First things first: You need to look on Kelley Blue Book for the current value of the car so you know exactly how upside down you are on the car. Once you have an amount, you can go from there to decide what the next steps will be. Before you move forward, be sure to cancel any warranties or extra services you have on the car, if applicable.
What Would Dave Do?
So what does Dave suggest in this situation?
His advice might surprise you. When Tonya, a caller on The Dave Ramsey Show, asked Dave how to sell an upside-down car, here's what he said:
"You have to borrow the difference. I'm assuming you don't have the cash. Let's say you owe $17,000 on the car, and it's worth $13,000. That would leave you $4,000 in the hole, and so you'd have to borrow $4,000.
The money course that will change your life!
How do you do that? Your best source is to borrow it from the company that has the car loan now. If you have it at a local credit union or a bank, you could go and sit down with someone and say, "I'd rather owe you $4,000 than $17,000 because I'm what's known as broke. Let me sign a note for whatever the car doesn't bring. Whatever the car does bring will be applied to the loan, and you'll release the title."
You can usually negotiate that if you have a small, local community bank or a credit union, because they actually have a brain. If the car loan is with a major national car company, you won't get this to happen . You will simply have to go borrow the money—the $4,000—from your credit union. Hopefully your credit is good enough to do that. But in order to get the title release, you have to pay the loan off or have permission from the lender that has the lien on the title. That's the big problem. But it's very, very doable. It happens all the time."
Wait a minute—did Dave just say to borrow money?
In this very specific situation, yes, he did. Like he said, would you rather owe $4,000 to a credit union or $17,000 to a big car company? It's a matter of the lesser of two evils!

Save Up to Pay the Difference on the Car
If you are still dead set against borrowing the money for the difference, we totally get it. Save up, eat beans and rice, get an extra job, and fight your way to pay the difference off. It's still doable!

If you're one of the many folks stuck in an upside-down car, then give these approaches a try. And remember, if you do end up selling the car and taking on a smaller loan, the idea is to pay it off as quickly as possible. Work it into your debt snowball and get gazelle intense!
Get even more tools to help you save money, beat debt and change your habits—and that way, you never have an upside-down car again! Take control of your money with Dave's number one proven plan, Financial Peace University.

The Young Bucks, who just won the New Japan Juniors tag team tournament, will return to ROH on 12/14 at Final Battle in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom, facing Adrenaline Rush.
Former WWE star Zack Gowen is working the 11/15 return to Dearborn, Michigan, challenging TV champion Matt Taven. Set for that show is Cole defending the ROH title against Jimmy Jacobs (who's from Dearborn), Eddie Edwards vs Jay Lethal in a first time ever in ROH bout, Mark Briscoe vs. Michael Elgin (which sounds awesome), Roderick Strong vs. Davey Richards, Kyle O'Reilly vs. ACH vs. Caprice Coleman, Bobby Fish vs. TaDarius Thoams vs. Cedric Alexander, plus Outlaw Inc. (Eddie Kingston & Homicide), Silas Young, Tommaso Ciampa and more.
Roderick Strong is now being billed as "Mr. ROH."
Paul London will be coming back in for a few shots shortly.
ROH has released new t-shirts for Jay Briscoe and Kevin Steen. They also released (about a month or so ago) a "Philly tribute" shirt which is an ROH take on the old ECW "Join the Revolution" t-shirt from years ago. I'm guessing that was a Jeff Jones idea.

Isn't this image great for male cards? I love it :o) It's available here.

If beef's the king of meat, potato's the queen of the garden world. -Irish Saying
Charlotte' is a very popular salad variety which produces pear-shaped, yellow skinned waxy potatoes with creamy-yellow flesh. They are full of flavour and delicious either hot or cold.
Potatoes were originally cultivated in Peru, South American. It didn't gain prominence across Europe until 1780's. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to eat potatoes. Today, the potato is so common and plentiful in western diet.
Potatoes should be stored in dark, but dry places. Light will cause the formation of solanine on the skin of the potato. Though not likely to cause serious harm, green skinned potatoes can taste bitter and may result in temporary digestive discomfort. When confronted by green skin on a potato, simply peel it away. Keep as much of the rest of the skin as possible.
I am sending this to BSI-Potato hosted by Doggybloggy at Chez What?
- 500g Charlotte potatoesangiesrecipes
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustardangiesrecipes
- 1 stalk Spring onions, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 40 ml Olive oil
- 75 g Ham cubesangiesrecipes
- Pinch of dried parsley
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just soft. Drain and peel off the skin. Whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, mustard, pepper and salt in a bowl until the mixture is well blended, then start to slowly beat in the olive oil. Add in the spring onions.
- Dry fry the ham cubes over a low heat for 5 minutes and add the ham to the dressing. Thickly slice the warm potatoes and add to a serving bowl, then pour the dressing over. Toss to mix through. Sprinkle the parsley over before serving.

Transition of good policies is always imperative for development in a third world country like ours. we always see some good initiatives taken by one GOVT which are reverted by the following one.
One of the good policy of the previous GOVT was its initiative to back-up HEC to start some good projects and spend more money on higher education.
Now what we see is that media is severely criticizing the HEC (Higher education commission of Pakistan). Recently I read a news article carrying Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan's comments regarding the performance of HEC, he intensely criticized the HEC, which is unjustified.
Let me remind him that HEC is a regulatory body which makes guidelines and plans different projects, makes strategies, creates rules & regulations. He criticized HEC for not building good universities and that he himself built a very good university. I think it will be very iniquitous to expect that HEC will it self supervise different project.
Yes, there is a lot to be done and a lot of things which must have been done. The HEC should be held accountable for it, but then accountability should start from 1947. what i feel is that HEC did some great things in only 5 to 6 years which the UGC (University Grant Commission) couldn't do in 55 years.
So HEC should be giving its due credit where ever it deserves. It would be unjustified to term there work as a complete a waste.
I know so many people who started coming to back to pakistan becuase of the good policies of HEC. Infact HEC curtailed the phenomenon of "BRAIN DRAIN" up to some level and chaned it into "BRAIN GAIN". The need of the hour is that we should spend more on our education and stop criticism for the sake of critcism. Instead of looking at the half empty glass we should appreciate da half filled, learn from our mistakes and appreciate the good work.

During one of the recent data breaches, my information was breached. More specifically, my cell phone number is now in the hands of spammers.
Several times during the day, my phone will ring. The caller ID will display a number (usually out-of-state and cities where I know no one). In the beginning I would pick them up and either hear some marketing scam, or hear nothing but noise in the background. So I stopped picking them up. But I would still have to run to my phone at all times of the day to see who it was to determine if I needed to pick it up. It was driving me crazy. I blocked number after number on my iPhone, but they continued to come up with new numbers.
In my frustration I took to Facebook with my rant, and my brother mentioned the service Nomorobo. It sounded perfect! Nomorobo develops a "black list" of phone numbers to block based on complaints received by the FTC. So if one phone number receives lots of complaints, Nomorobo will block that number from ringing the phone of a subscriber. In order to utilize this service, one has to sign up for Simultaneous Ringing with the phone carrier. Nomorobo quickly answers the spam calls, then hangs up.
However, Verizon Wireless does not offer the simultaneous ringing feature. I scoured their help boards, and their solution is for the customer to pay Verizon Wireless a fee to block a finite amount of numbers. I can already block unlimited numbers on the iPhone, I certainly wasn't going to pay Verizon to do the same.
I was seriously considering changing my cell phone number. I know, though, I would have missed valuable telephone calls, and that solution was not acceptable either.
My solution: download a silent ringtone from iTunes, and set that as my default ringtone. In actual practice I only receive calls from a few of my contacts. So I manually set the custom ringtones for those contacts (plus a few who could possibly call me) to something other than the default.
Now my phone no longer rings unless one of those contacts call me. I can still see the call if I wake up my phone, and they can, of course, leave a voice mail. I still have an audible tone set for a new voice mail. Legitimate callers will leave a message. I will subsequently add them to my contacts and give them an audible custom ringtone for future calls.
No more running across the room repeatedly during the day. In this small area of my life, I have restored peace.

The U.K.-based Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, The Crown Estate and offshore wind farm owner/operators have launched a new collaboration program aimed at improving wind turbine operational performance by increasing safety, reliability and availability, thereby cutting the cost of electricity generated from offshore wind.
The SPARTA project will create a database for sharing offshore wind farm performance and maintenance data, and the project partners say owner/operator participants will be provided with robust and reliable benchmarked data.
Initially, SPARTA will be developed for U.K.-based projects, but the setup is fully flexible and allows for the integration of international projects, the partners note. SPARTA was initiated in 2013 by The Crown Estate in collaboration with DNV GL and was inspired by the offshore oil industry's long-established Offshore Reliability Database known as OREDA.
ORE Catapult will fund and manage the SPARTA system in close collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Centre. Owner/operators Centrica, RWE, SSE, Statkraft and Statoil have already committed to support the project by actively participating in a steering group to ensure that the key output – monthly reporting – provides valuable data.
A pilot project will run until March 2015, after which time a full-scale implementation of the reporting system is planned.

Its a very flavoursome combo Rita and sooo easy!ReplyDelete
Stephen - there appears to be a stuff-up with your times on your blog. I noticed your post above when I went into my Dashboard earlier tonight (when I added my comment), at which time, on my Dashboard, it told me there that post had been added by you two hours ago, so I knew it was a new post.ReplyDelete
My comment is dated Oct 22, 8.08 pm, with your response being on the same date at 9.20 pm, whilst the post itself tells me at the top it was written on Sat Oct 17th.
There is an adjustment place somewhere that caters for this discrepancy in times, as mine too was out of whack for ages till I accidentally stumbled on the time adjustment bit! I noticed Steve's too was like that for a while.
I meant to say that everyone elses blog links to you say that post of yours is 4 days old, even though I KNOW it's today's post.ReplyDelete
I actually wrote that post Rita on Saturday night and saved it but then went to Canberra and didn't publish it till I got home later in the week. That could be the explanation. But thanks I will check!ReplyDelete

a symbol of its country's highest cultural ties with the best of the rest of Europe."
Now in its eighth year the 2018 festival is dedicated to the country's 100th anniversary of Independence and will feature an Estonian composition in each programme. Estonian Independence was first declared in Pärnu from the balcony of the Endla Theatre on 23 February 1918. It was a moment of such importance that Tallinn declared Independence the next day from the capital itself. It was the start of a golden era and Pärnu flourished as families flocked to the seaside resort in summer abandon and the town was rejuvenated after years of abandon. The laughter and decadence was to be short-lived and came to an abrupt end just 22 years later with the arrival of World War II and Estonia's occupation by the Soviet Union. The Endla Theatre was damaged by fire in 1944 and, rather than restoring it, the Soviet authorities demolished and replaced it with a typical Stalinist building in the central square which had been reserved for the Executive Committee of Pärnu Oblast.
All of Estonia's history from the last 100 years is wrapped up in its music, a time when orchestral music has developed in both good times and bad, in freedom and in occupation, all making its imprint and creating a new voice. To mark the occasion all three members of the Järvi conducting family will take to the stage to perform music from their country's heritage. Neeme Järvi will conduct Heino Eller's Five Pieces for String Orchestra with Rudolf Tobias' Nocturne with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra; Kristjan Järvi and friends perform an Estonian inspired programme; and Paavo Järvi directs the Estonian Festival Orchestra in two concerts featuring Arvo Pärt's Symphony No. 3 and the world premiere of Jüri Reinvere's commission for the orchestra entitled "And tired from happiness, they started to dance".
Introducing his new work for the Estonian Festival Orchestra, Jüri Reinvere wrote: "This is a virtuoso piece showing the technical excellence of an orchestra, whilst philosophically dealing with the cultural fatigue, fatigue with a destroying ecstasy. Several times in the 20th century we have had moments where people were overfed by their wellbeing, which brought them directly into catastrophes. This will be the ground for the piece: an almost demonic rhythm of a society's will to ravage."
The Pärnu Festival and Järvi Academy were founded by Paavo Järvi in 2011 together with his father, Neeme Järvi and its family atmosphere envelopes the visiting musicians, students and audience alike creating a unique summer refuge on the Estonian coast.
Having grown up in Tallinn, Pärnu has always held a special place in Paavo's heart as it was where the family traditionally gathered for summer holidays. During occupation it was also the summer home of artists including Dmitri Shostakovich and David Oistrakh who visited for the nearest thing to western tolerance and understanding in the Soviet Union, it was a place for artists to relax and enjoy each other's company and it was here in 1973 that a young Paavo met Shostakovich for the first time.
It was also here that David Oistrakh invited musicians and students to join him for ad hoc performances in the little green Dacha which he rented each summer before his death in 1974. It was in this spirit that Paavo Järvi decided to return to Pärnu, surrounded by his family, and create a festival offering masterclasses to international young conductors, creating an Academy Orchestra comprising the very best of young Estonian musical talent and the Estonian Festival Orchestra - hand-picked by Paavo, including professional Estonian musicians complemented by soloists from the top European orchestras. In addition to playing in the Festival Orchestra, these guest musicians also perform chamber music concerts and offer advice to the younger generation of musicians.
"There isn't a hint of a hothouse environment on stage – these are simply musicians having the time of their lives, no small thanks to the inspiring Paavo Järvi himself, and they're an inspiration, in turn, to the festival youth orchestra."
BBC Music Magazine
The week long festival takes place in various locations throughout the town including the church of St Elizabeth – founded in 1741 when the Russian empress donated 8000 roubles for its construction. Children's concerts take place in one of the numerous spa hotels where families gather after long days on the beach and the main festival concerts take place in the elegant 1000 seater concert hall, built in 2002 and widely regarded as having one of Estonia's best acoustics.
"You stand on the threshold of a hopeful future in which you shall be free and independent in determining and directing your destiny! Begin building a home of your own, ruled by law and order, in order to be a worthy member within the family of civilized nations!"

Scottish Terrier Rescue Northwest (STRNW) located in Washington state, is an all volunteer organization dedicated to the care and placement of Scotties in need of new forever homes. Scotties that come into our care are health checked, treated for any existing medical conditions, vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered. STRNW does not place intact Scotties in adoptive homes.
The Scotties in our care are generally in good health and we do not place dogs that are ill or injured. Though they are few, there are always the sad cases of neglect, abuse or abandonment. Because we are a rescue, we treat, care for and nurture these special cases until they are fit to be placed in a new home.
The majority of Scotties that come into our care are owner surrenders. These are generally adult dogs that are parted from their families for a variety of reasons. Adopting an adult Scottie can be especially rewarding and often bypasses the hectic puppy stage. Although these are often beautiful dogs they are not show dogs and in the majority of cases they are undocumented and their pedigree is unknown. Our Scotties are meant to be family members, to be loved, cared for and admired for just being a Scottie.
As our name implies, we operate in the Northwestern U.S. In special cases we have received Scotties from as far away as Florida but we do not ship Scotties out of our area. The logistics of shipping a Scottie are difficult and expensive, but our main concern is that we would be unable to meet potential adopters in person and visit their homes. We would be unable to adequately ascertain if we were placing a Scottie into a safe and caring environment. We do have the ability to refer potential adopters to Scottie Rescues in other parts of the U.S.
For us here at STRNW, it truly is "All about the Scottie."
Our Northwest coverage area includes: Washington State, Northern Oregon and Western Idaho. __________________________________

Today I was in a couple of banks. Now I am scared. At the first one, I told the teller I needed to stop payment on a check. She asked me for my account number. I handed her my checkbook. She looked at it, looked at me, and asked me whether the account number was on the check. Uh-oh.
From there I went to a bank that had a sign that said "Teller has no cash." Well, we have a problem then, because I generally don't go to the bank except, you know, for money. In fact, my recollection is that I left them money last time I was there, so unless they spent that, they should have *some* cash. Anyway, it turns out the entire place is a big ATM. They type your transaction in, then walk over to the Cash Dispenser and get your money, which they hand to you. Crazy.

Femulen is an effective progestogen only pill, commonly known as the 'mini-pill'. Mini-pills offer 99% protection against pregnancy, but by only using one hormone, a synthetic progestogen. This makes it more suitable for women who are sensitive to oestrogen and experience bad side effects when using a combined contraceptive. It's also a better choice for older women, women who smoke and women who are breastfeeding.
You can buy Femulen online safely and securely from HealthExpress by taking a free and confidential online consultation. Each consultation is checked by one of our doctors, so that you can be sure that this mini-pill is safe for you to take. If approved, you can place an order and our pharmacy will fulfil your prescription and dispatch your order for free overnight delivery.

Femulen is a mini-pill that prevents pregnancy with only one hormone, a synthetic progestogen (etynodiol diacetate 500 micrograms). This makes it much more suitable for women who are sensitive to oestrogen. It's also a more suitable choice for older women, women who are over 35 and smoking, women who are breastfeeding and women whose blood pressure has risen while using a combined pill. Despite only containing one hormone, Femulen is only slightly less effective than a combined contraceptive, and is 99% effective at preventing conception.
Femulen protects against pregnancy in two different ways. Firstly, it alters the lining of your womb, so when an egg is released from the ovaries it isn't able to embed itself and grow. Secondly, Femulen alters the cervical mucous, making it very difficult for sperm to enter the womb.
Most women over the age of 18 are safe to buy Femulen online. In some circumstances, however, you may not be advised to use it. Women who may not be able to use Femulen include women who suffer, or have suffered from, migraines, heart or kidney problems, diabetes, varicose veins, gallstones, asthma, high blood pressure, muscle twitches, blood clotting and multiple sclerosis.
Each course of Femulen comes with 28 pills. A single pill needs to be taken every day. If taken on the first day of your period, you will be almost immediately protected. You can take Femulen up to day five of your period, but you will need to use another form of contraception for seven days to ensure you are completely protected. Once you finish a pack of pills, you should start another one immediately and you must not have a break between taking the pills.
You should take the pill at the same time each day, and it can be taken safely up to three hours later. If you miss a pill, take one as soon as possible, and then resume your routine. You are advised to use a condom for seven days if you miss a pill.
Oral contraception does cause side effects for some users, but because Femulen is a mini-pill the risk is reduced. Side effects usually effect women taking the mini-pill for the first time and may include nausea, weight gain, headaches, migraines, dizziness, breast tenderness, and changes in appetite and your sex drive. Any side effects you experience should alleviate as you continue treatment. If they don't, then you may be advised to choose a different contraceptive pill.
HealthExpress provides a comprehensive medical service to all patients who wish to buy Femulen without having to make an appointment with their GP or family planning clinic. To obtain a prescription, you need first to complete an online consultation form. This is a no obligation medical questionnaire which takes only a few minutes to complete and is completely confidential. Each consultation is reviewed by one of our doctors. If you are suitable for Femulen, you will be able to place your order, and they will provide a prescription. The prescription will then be forwarded to our pharmacy which will dispatch Femulen for free next-day delivery.
