Burbank Police Officer Cindy Guillen finds herself in court as a last resort, after complaints of gender and ethnic harassment were not investigated, prompting her lawsuit, her attorney said Monday.
In his opening statements to jurors in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Guillen's attorney, Solomon Gresen, promised the full story behind his client, from humble beginnings, to fulfilling her dream of becoming a police officer in Burbank.
Gresen described Guillen as an "outstanding police officer."
"There is no question about the caliber of her work," Gresen said, adding that Guillen serves as the public information officer to the Spanish-speaking community.

Love all the pictures and I must say Cindy, those beach pictures are awesome. Your sign is so cute. Well, I have several things I am desperate for God to do Cindy and you know my heart's request.

Thsnks Connie . Patience is hard no doubt . I seem to battle more with it as I age !😬 God knows your heart my friend and the way He answers our prayers is in His time . ❤Delete
Beautiful girls! Loving the flower boxes on the SHE SHED! Nice....ReplyDelete
You, my sweet friend, could never have too many pictures of your beautiful grandchildren posted here! They are all so so cute! Does your grandson mind being the only guy in the bunch when you all get together?ReplyDelete
What am I desperate for God to do for me today? It is a long story, of which He has heard many times, but it involves my dear mama's health.
Love you, Girlfriend!Replies
Dianna, I don't think it bothers my grandson as much as it does me for me at times . But only because I never want h to feel left out . He knows he has our families heart for sure ❤ Awe, I will pray for your mama right now too . Thanks for stopping by dear friend .Delete
Your family is beautiful! I love your photos. Your flowers are so pretty and the new prayer sign is perfect! What a fun post.ReplyDelete
Thanks Adrienne. I hope you are having fun....Delete
Right now I need prayers in reference to my living situation, as I have to move. Not sure if you saw my post or not about this, Cindy, but I would very much appreciate your prayers. Your photos are absolutely gorgeous!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Linda. I am hopping over in a bit to catch up with you.Delete
Thank you so much, dear friend. And your blog is a blessing, and your friendship means so much to me. I love your choice of background colour and your posts are always inspiring and thought-provoking. Thank you so much.Delete
Praying for you . God's got this !Delete
Cindy he is only a prayer away. All I ever want is for my loved ones to be safe and well. That is all I ever ask for. Everything else can come with hard work on our part. Stay happy and keep on inspiring us with all your fantastic photos of your grand kids. The two girls at the beach are just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I just love your photos, very happy family, smiles.---patience is not one of my virtues, so I would say that. Sadly, lack of patience...smilesReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Linda. Patience is hard....PERIOD! LOL!Delete
I could look at your photos all day! What a talent and those models are too cute! I'm facing a mountain and God told me He will always be with me as I climb it and give me the strength each day to get to the top. I believe He is doing more than just a physical healing in me but a work of wholeness too; I'm on a journey with Him. Full knee replacement surgery on 8/25. Appreciate prayer! Hugs and blessings to you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Praying for you sweet Mary. Praying your knee replacement goes well my friend and that your heal quickly and totally.Delete
Oh Cindy, I have enjoyed these glimpses of your life. The photos of your grands are fabulous...it's so nice to have a built-in photographer in the family! I know what you mean about the grands getting so big...my two oldest are 18 and 16 already! I love, love, love that little sign about prayer and it looks perfect of your desk...in your "unfinished" room...LOL! Actually, I am really looking forward to seeing it! And Morning Glory is one my faves...look back on my blog when you get time and click on the Morning Glory label. :) Hugs!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL Debby! I gotta finish that room now! Headed back to see your Morning Glory.Delete
Oh, I loved seeing the pictures! They are just precious...and the one at the end is just so perfect. They will cherish that throughout life...the best of friends. :) Oh, my, what am I desperate for God to do right now? Several things...intercessory prayer is a big part of my days. He is ever faithful, and I often hear my dear Mom's words, "Cheryl, God has His own timetable. You can't rush God." Sometimes what I am desperate for, He sees as something that is not so urgent, and I have to submit my demands for speed to His wisdom and come to understand that He absolutely does know what is best. Sitting in the waiting room as He works is very frustrating to me, and I often struggle with the temptation to hurry things along. I am learning...as Paul, to be content. Thank you for making me think today! Love you, sweet friend. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Cheryl, thank you so much for your sweet words. Oh my friend, am I learning that we can't rush God. I often want to run ahead of Him but I have truly been learning the WAIT ON ME, MY TIMING IS PERFECT!Delete
Hi! Visiting you from another blog that you made a comment on. Yes, your window flowers are pretty and what lovely family you have. Our daughter took a picture similar to yours of our two granddaughters looking out over Lake Michigan. I like the saying you put with it. NancyReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Nancy for visiting. So nice to meet you.Delete
Favorite picture of the girls, the last one with both looking at the water, while holding each other!ReplyDelete
But you are right, they are all great.

Thanks Christiine . Yes those oldest two do look indeed like brother-sister . Hope you ha e a great weekend .Delete
Another wonderful post about your family and life in general!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Thanks Debbie . I need one of your sea shell ornaments . You outdone yourself on those .Delete
Dear Cindy! I just had to stop back over and visit you to tell you how deeply you touched my heart. Sometimes, we can become so "weary in well doing", we can feel like nothing we are striving to do for God really matters or is being a blessing to others. A while back, I had mentioned in two separate posts something God gave to me, and you must have read it, because you mentioned it in your comment on my blog...oh, I cannot tell you how much that encouraged my heart! It was this, "When we don't understand His logic, we must trust His wisdom". It touched me so much that you read it, that it stuck with you, and then you repeated it back to me when I needed to be reminded. See how the Holy Spirit works? Iron sharpens iron...I am just in awe of HIM and His amazing orchestration of our lives. Through YOU and your precious obedience to do what He asks you to do, He has lifted me this morning. He has let me know that our labors are NOT in vain in the Lord. That someone, somewhere is being touched and blessed by our obedience, and they will turn around and pass on that blessing to others...sometimes even back to us, when we need it most. THANK YOU, sweet friend. Love and appreciate you so much!ReplyDeleteReplies
Cheryl, your quote sits on my desktop at my office and is always in my heart. The Holy Spirit knows just what we need when we need it dear friend. He has proved that to me time and time again.Delete
Love your window boxes, it must be nice to see the lovely flowers from your room. Of course, I never get tired of the wonderful pictures you take of your grandkids!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Mary . Hope you are doing well .Delete
Oh, mercy....where to start. You certainly must have a green thumb. Your flowers look great, especially with the Florida heat. And, I can see why you couldn't choose which pics to post...they're all so good. Another talent of yours....photography! As for the question....I've shared that one with you. I'm praying Ezekiel 11:19. <3 you, Friend!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Deb. And my friend, I have been praying for you. God's got this!Delete
I opened your blog today, perhaps a day too late. I have been struggling emotionally the last couple of days, but awoke this morning with a fresh outlook and new attitude. Prayer and good thoughts from others have brought me a sunnier day today. Now, your beautiful photos and flowers!! My grands are just two and three and I already think they are growing up too, too fast! I can't imagine them being teenagers! HUGS and prayers!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so glad you came by Chloe . I pray you are feeling much better . For me, I often find that my attitude about everything affects my outlook on things . So glad you are having a sunnier day . God is good . I bet your two little grands bring you so much joy . Happy day Chloe.Delete
Love all the pics of the grandkids. You are so blessed to have them close by. They are growing up fast!ReplyDelete
Your morning glory will be pretty so I look forward to a pic when it blooms.
Love your prayer sign. I am in constant prayer. It is my lifeline. Thanks for your sweet spirit that encourages and lifts our hearts.Replies
Thanks Bonnie . So glad you came by .Delete
Your grands are adorable. I love Morning Glory. I used to have some by my gate. The window boxes are a great addition.ReplyDelete
Love this post! Great sign to remind us all to pray all the time! LOVE the pics of your grand kids and those beach ones should be in a magazine. What a sweet bond those girls have. I desperately want the Lord to make Himself real to my two daughters. They both are struggling in their marriages and finances and need Him so much. It is out of my hands so maybe someone else can step in?! I know that I need to pray!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Awe thanks Ann Marie. Only God can heal, mend and fix. I love the saying, "God can turn a mess into a message".Delete
Hi Cindy, what a wonderful post sharing the power of prayer. Yes, I know too well how praying just makes everything better. Even when we wait for the answers on God's time, praying is that constant conversation that leads us. I am always in pray as I go about my day.ReplyDelete
Love the sign in your office room. How wonderful your morning glories have grown. I tried them this year and they just didn't take hold. I try again next spring. Your grandchildren are all adorable and you can see the love in their eyes. Sweet blessings all.
Thank you for sharing your heart and sweet spirit. You are a blessing my friend. xoReplies
Thank you my friend for coming by to see me. Yes, the power of prayer is great. There has been times in my life that I wondered how He would answer but I never have doubted that He wouldn't answer. His answer may not have been wanted I wanted but knowing that He never makes a mistake was all that I needed.Delete
Your grandbabies are beautiful! I love the sign your sister gave you. I have one that says "A Family That Prays Together, Stays Together". I don't know if I am desperately desiring this, but I do desire for my sons to find Christian helpmates. Neither are dating and both are almost ready for a helpmate. My husband and I (as well as their grandparents) have been praying earnestly for the Lord to send fine, Christian women to them in HIS timing. So I guess I need to pray for patience too! Thank you for a beautiful post!ReplyDelete
Blessings from Lynda at Still Woods FarmhouseReplies
So glad you dropped by Lynda. Oh I know your heart desire concerning your children. We always want the best for our kids but when It's God's best it can't be beat. And it doesn't stop with the kids, then the grands start coming along. A pastor friend of mine said recently that a parent prays till they die. SO VERY TRUE! His timing is always perfect though I too have had to try to learn the WORD Patient! I am constantly reminded here lately that it's all in God's timing and not mine.Delete
If I had my choice between a chocolate chip cookie that looked like that one and a haircut, I'd take the cookie, too. Your photos are amazing. Beautiful children. We have a blended family and some of our kids don't know the Lord at all. That they will draw near to Him is a constant pray of ours.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, that chocolate cookie made her day. That little one loves her a cookie. Thank you for your sweet compliment on the pictures of my grands. Oh my friend, I pray right now with you that your children that do not know Jesus will come to know Him soon and very soon. Before my first grandchild was ever conceived I remember vividly praying that my grandbabies would all come to know Jesus at an early age and that they would follow His footsteps and love Him with all of their hearts, soul and minds. God hears our prayers and nothing better to hit the throne than a mama's prayer or a nana's prayer.Delete
Your pictures are fabulous, Cindy, and your grandkids are such darlings!....ChristineReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Christine.Delete
I love the glimpses into your life Cindy! Your grandkids pictures are all so adorable! I remember the first days of school, and how sad it was for me to see them back off to the schoolhouse after a summer of fun. The pictures of your grandgirls on the beach is beyond adorable! The light! I love the lighting, the time of day you chose, their expressions, and the beautiful joy exuding from their hearts to their faces. You are blessed with that talent, dear friend!ReplyDelete
And of course - prayer, oh my, how wonderful it is to have the conversation with the Lord, and know that we can just leave it there with Him. So many times I have prayed, thinking through every possible answer I could come up with, and then His answer came, so unlike and far from my own, and how thankful I was that His answer was what I got, and not mine! Many, many times over that has happened, so now, I always pray, Lord, your will be done, in all things.
Like King David, we can cry out to the Lord with our problems, but every Psalm of David's ended in praise.. while it may have started out in anguish of heart and soul, he ended in praise... and that right there is our answer, every time! I have found it to be so true. When I carry my burden to HIM, let Him know about it, then lift my eyes and heart to Him, believing and praising... there is a change that takes place in my heart that may not change the circumstance, but changes me... and I can leave that place of prayer knowing HE heard, He cares, and HE will answer, in His time.
Sorry that got so long! But I just wanted to share that with you. Praying, and believing the Lord in all things, for our children, for this country, and for those who don't know our precious Lord... love and hugs to you dear friend!
Marilyn, I enjoy your visits so much . Loved what you said about king David . So glad you came by .❤ReplyDelete

"The movies make us into voyeurs. We sit in the dark, watching other people's lives."
What do we love about movies? We love that they challenge our sensibilities without directly challenging our morals. Most film-goers would consider watching a film to be normal. This does not make you a voyeur. This is the exact idea that Michael Powell tries to reverse in his 1960 classic, Peeping Tom. This is my first thriller on the 1077 Films to See Before You Die, and it was a creepy experience.
Peeping Tom tells the story of a young serial killer named Mark who films his acts of murder. More specifically, he films their facial expressions as he kills them. Though Mark is obviously the bad guy in the picture, he is presented as a victim of his abusive father. He is desperate to free himself of the curses his father has left on his psyche and murders to relieve his voyeuristic urges. Carl Boehm plays Mark with a shy and sadistic monotone that practically shouts "I AM A PSYCHO" at the audience. It is his performance that makes the film believable.
But it is not the acting that makes Peeping Tom a great film. Powell managed to shoot the entire production in a way that eerily places the audience in the center of the action. This style creates an aura of awkward intrigue that forces the viewer to become part of the story. We are shown murders through the viewpoint of Mark's video camera which makes us a part of the savage surveillance.Powell turned us all into voyeurs. And we actively partake in the action, on the edge of our seats. We are troubled, disgusted, horrified, yet engulfed in the madness.
Another interesting aspect of Peeping Tom is the highly saturated color schemes that Powell uses to keep your attention. "Death colors" like red and black pop into view against a backdrop of brown, white and gray. This technique helps the message because it makes everything feel off the pale. Noticeably inspired by Hitchcock, Powell uses the human eye as a weapon against the audience. He knows how to use his camera to force your attention exactly where he wants it. Peeping Tom is a remarkable display in elementary horror film camera technique.
It is worth noting that Peeping Tom was considered far too gruesome for mainstream cinema at that time. The 1960 audience was not very fond of the raw and unashamed story of a voyeur. They also did not appreciate the uneasy feeling Powell's genius camerawork created. Peeping Tom was pulled from theatres in the United States and United Kingdom due to offensive content. But after several years the film began to gain a steady following with fans, such as Martin Scorsese, demanding the film be re-evaluated. Once critics looked at the film's artistic achievements and well crafted performances it was re-released. It is now considered one of the classic psychological thrillers in all of English cinema.
In the 2010's we are much more desensitized to this type of violence and perversion, but these ideas were all new to the silver-screen in 1960. Powell's career never really recovered from the Peeping Tom controversies, but his legacy as a brilliant filmmaker will forever be displayed in his most influential and popular release. Peeping Tom is uneasy, terrifying and terrific.

Since ending his days fronting Pedro the Lion in 2005, David Bazan has been pretty quiet. He made an album of electro-pop under the name Headphones, and has released one EP and one 7-inch under his own name. Mix in the occasional small tour and you've got a guy who has been active enough, but has still stayed pretty much under the radar.
Well, in 2009 Bazan will finally return with a new album. The disc is call Curse Your Branches, and it will be the first full-length record released under his own name. Barsuk Records will have the honor of putting out the disc, and while no track list or album art is yet available, we do know that "Please Baby Please," which originally appeared as the b-side on Bazan's American Flags single, has been re-recorded and will appear on the new album. Curse Your Branches will be out Aug. 25.

I don't want to delve into the article or analyse it too much, since I think it's better that everyone just reads it for themselves, but Gabrielle's three "Dirty Little Secrets" about women and the gaming industry are:
- Women play games - a lot of them.
- The video game industry wants to hire more women.
- There aren't enough to hire ... yet.
"Remember back at the start of this blog? Luke Crane asked 'where are there so few lady creators?' I said this was a simple enough question with a simple enough answer. The simple enough answer is this: 'there aren't enough women who are interested in games development enough to get involved in it'. That's it. The #1ReasonWhy tweets are looking for reasons why women aren't interested in games development but [...] the fact is that it's simply an industry that appeals to more men than women."Gabrielle goes into much more detail, highlighting the lack of women working in the technology sector. She thinks the key to getting more women working in the gaming industry is to encourage them to enter technology fields, particularly engineering. I'm glad someone in such a prominent position has come at the issue of women in the gaming industry from such a mature, logical standpoint. I'm sorry to keep mentioning #1ReasonWhy but Gabrielle's views are a stark contrast to the tweets that we saw during that movement; Gabrielle adopts a mature and logical stance while #1ReasonWhy seemed to be all about determining what to scapegoat next.
Speaking of which, Gabrielle makes it clear in her first two paragraphs that her viewpoint is very distinct from that of the women (and men) who were tweeting during #1ReasonWhy:
"We've all heard the debate – many have accepted as an article of faith that sexism keeps women out of game studios.
As an insider, I find this argument is misguided. It's easy to blame men for not creating an attractive work environment – but I think that's a cop-out. If we want more women to work in games, we have to recognize that the problem isn't sexism."I am eternally thankful towards Gabrielle Toledano for this part of her article. Be it about objectification, lack of female protagonists or being groped at conventions, there was a lot of male-blaming during #1ReasonWhy. I sincerely hope some of the women who cast blame back then read Gabrielle's article very closely and start treating the situation of the lack of women in game development with more intelligence and logic. Not just casting blame on male developers. Toledano isn't the only one; remember Christine Phelan of Valve, being interviewed for FMV Magazine?
"There are a ton of dudes in the games industry, yes – it's a bit of a pickle jar. I have never, however, been treated as anything but a team member and an equal by my coworkers and it's a major disservice to them that folks automatically assume they will treat me differently because I am a woman."A small part of me wonders how a male employee of a games company would be treated if he made the same claims that Toledano did ... but that's not important right now. I'm actually glad women like Toledano and Phelan have had the courage to come forward and say "actually, things aren't like that/aren't for the reasons you say". I'm certain they'll have their critics but, fingers-crossed, perhaps more women will take a leaf from their book and be inspired to consider the gaming industry as something other than an unrelenting mess of misogyny.
As always, feel free to comment or send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

|Croissant from Hardouin Boulanger
What? Hardouin Boulanger for croissants! Mmm pastries :D
Where? Les Halles (also another location at 39 Place Grand Marché, Tours)
Price? 0,99€-7€
The skinny: To be honest, I have no idea which is "the best" bakery for certain types of pastries / baked goods. This place seems to be pretty populous so I decided to try it out.
I went to the location in les Halles. As I past by, I saw that a lady was taking out fresh croissants out of a cart that she had wheeled in from the other Hardouin location.
|Location in Les Halles (a sort of indoor food market) :D (right) Note the absence of croissants beside the pain chocolat. ;)
|Here's the side of one of the buildings where I'm studying. Institut d'Études Françaises de Touraine (front pic below)
Fresh croissants yessss!! I decided to get only one. Don't want to fatten myself up too much. Haha...you don't even know. I've been substituting butter for all usage of oil/margarine. It's horrible but so good!
|(left) The stand-alone Hardouin Boulanger location about 500m away from the way in Les Halles.
I look over and I see "Hardouin Charcuterie". Hmm..didn't know they sold meats too. Interesting.
|Hardouin: Le Charcuterie. Boudin Noir = blood sausage.
This croissant looked pretty unique. Rather than the usual simple rolled pastry, each roll seems to have mini layers.
|Such a rich golden yellow/brown. I'm gonna take a stab and say that the sheen is from an egg white wash.
Biting into it, there was an uber-satisfying crack, then a crunch. That's when you hit the soft, airy inside. It was so buttery smooth. Ohmondieu. <-- can I say that?
|Check out those air pockets!
Well, let's just say that for my first croissant in France, it was a great start. Formidable. :D I was really apprehensive to try them just because of the anticipation and the expectation that comes with trying any food product that a country is widely known for.
|(left) Showing the contrast from the outside and inside. Biting in, the croissant just unraveled itself. Beautiful!
In simple terms, I was a very happy person. Just sitting in front of my window, enjoying my first croissant in France. Although this isn't what I see from my window...it is where I'm studying. Beautiful n'est-ce pas? Oui. Ce n'est pas toujours qui vous vous trouvez dans une si belle édifice qui est à la fois historique.
|The front façade of bâtiment Balzac of Institut de Touraine.
Verdict? No doubt I'll be trying croissants from other boulangers but I'll still return to Hardouin. Stoked!

Disability insurance is an income replacement insurance policy which is dispensed to you if you are injured or too ill to return to work. It's the only insurance available which keeps all other assets protected. Without insuring your income, any investments and/or insurance you have been contributing to for possibly many years will no longer have a source of funding for their upkeep. There is potentially a risk you could lose not only your home, but your car, insurance plans and any ability to plan or fund your retirement.
From accumulating assets to long-term financial plans, you have worked hard as you have gone through life. Have you given any thought to how you are going to keep these assets as well as your long-term plans if your income source is no more? Any disability programs offered from the government don't necessarily get awarded to everyone in the event of disability. With strict requirements, averages of one third of all cases are approved. With the ability to structure, your disability insurance covers either partial or total disabilities for either short or long term. It's essential to make sure you have the right coverage just in case.
Prices for disability insurance can vary greatly. Unless you have the opportunity to get insured through an employer, it could get pricey. You can estimate 1 to 3 percent of your annual income. This cost will depend on several factors, including your choice of policy, your type of employment, your health condition, and your age. Whether or not you smoke is also a factor.
If you don't need immediate payments of your disability insurance following a disability (due to reception of workers' compensation or employee benefits), you could save quite a bit of money on your premium by choosing to wait for reception of your disability payments.
You can choose either a traditional fixed-premium policy, or one similar to term life insurance plans. These are called annually renewable disability income policies. This type provides you with affordable options, with premiums rising in price minimally each year. With either of these plans, you determine the monthly payment in order to receive appropriate insurance – typically an amount around 60 percent of your earnings. Following this, if you become disabled, those payments will be returned to you.
When considering the purchase of a disability policy or when reviewing a current one, the main objective is to adequately cover your monthly expenses. Some individuals choose to insure their entire income, even though it may be higher than their respective expenses. This ensures there is enough money being received to cover your assets.
A good policy will always take into consideration inflation and its impact on your monthly benefit on a long-term basis. Always verify the possibility of adding an inflation rider to your policy.
There comes a time to realize that not all disabilities are equal. The majority are partial disabilities which decrease the amount of time you are able to work, but allow you to work at least part time. A perfect example of this is Multiple Sclerosis, which is a disease of many faces. Always look for a residual disability rider to ensure a partial benefit will be paid if you are partially disabled.
One way some insurance companies save money on policies is through their definition of disability. If your policy reads "any occupation" this could result in you having to return to any position, even if it's not your own. A policy stating your "own occupation" is something you need to look for when choosing an insurance plan.
There are a wide range of questions and verifications which need to be addressed before committing to any one particular disability insurance policy. If you plan for this potential need ahead of time, you can shop around for the policy which best fits your needs, as well as your pocketbook.

|Welcome to our personal homepage. I owned and sailed on the yacht Kialoa II for almost 15 years, and my wife Cynthia and our daughter Maria joined me for the last 5 years. We sold Kialoa II to a Dutch businessman in February 1999. He took Kialoa II to Turkey, where she has been extensively refurbished (with some modifications) is now sailing again.
If you are interested in knowing about our sailing experiences, and about Kialoa II, please take this link or use the link on the sidebar.
Since November of 1998 we have been landbound with Maria in school (she is now a junior in Sacred Hearts High School) and have led a relatively normal life, principally in that lovely but congested city of Honolulu. We do enjoy being in Hawaii. If you wish to know more I have generally written a yearly newsletter, listed in the newsletters on the sidebar.
I dream of sailing again, maybe when Maria finishes High School... At present, besides the seemingly never ending tasks associated with being retired, I have worked at repairing a house, and am now building a duplex. A daunting task, it seems sometimes.

(Reuters) - World number one Andy Murray says fellow Briton Dan Evans has a long road ahead of him if he wants to resurrect his career after the 27-year-old was provisionally suspended for failing a doping test for cocaine at the Barcelona Open in April.
Evans broke into the top 50 of the ATP rankings for the first time this year, reached his first Tour final at the Sydney International in January and also reached the last 16 at the Australian Open.
Evans and Murray were part of Britain's Davis Cup squad and the pair reached the second round of the doubles tournament at Indian Wells in March.
"He put himself in a position to do really well for the last few years of his career and he has blown that now... It's going to be a long road back if he wants to do it," Murray was quoted as saying by The Times.
"He has made poor decisions in the past and he made another really bad one there. He has let himself down and all of the people that help him. I'm sure his team and family will be extremely disappointed with what he's done.
Evans is to face a International Tennis Federation hearing and could be banned for two to four years.
"It will be a difficult time for him, but he put himself in that position. The rules are very clear," said Murray.
"He broke those rules and deserves his suspension."

This is the year you're going to write that novel that's been calling to you for years. Your great idea has become a workable plot and you're happy with the characters you've created. The words are flowing as your story unfolds… until suddenly… they aren't. It seems you have lost your ability to write.
This breakdown in creativity, often called writer's block, is so scary because every day that passes increased the fear that it won't end. We fear that the writing sponge is dry and that this mental paralysis is permanent. I assure you that if you're really a writer the block won't last long. Still, when it strikes what do you do about it?
Maybe you're staring at a blank screen because you just don't know what you want to write about next. This only looks and feels like a problem, because there are ideas everywhere. And if you did a good job creating your outline (described in previous blogs) you'll always know what happens in the next chapter.
But what if that doesn't feel right, or you just can't figure out how to get into the scene? I suggest pulling back from the work in progress and do some writing exercises. Try imagining what it would be like if an important moment in your own life had happened differently. Or, try writing some fan fiction. Using existing characters lets you get right into the action. Write a scene in which someone dies, or someone falls in love, or write a totally made-up story about someone who really makes you angry. One of these will certainly get the words flowing again and you can get back to real story.
Sometimes writer's block can come when you have lots of great ideas but can't seem to commit to any of them. Maybe that novel idea looks like a short story in execution. Or you just lose interest in your idea a few paragraphs in. In my experience, that's the signal to put those ideas aside. If I can't make something work I figure it means the idea is not letting me tell the story I really want to tell. I may only know that subconsciously, but it surely means that my brain is picking through some phantom list searching for the right idea, and I'm getting close. I'll bet it's the same for you.
There are other issues that can drain your motivation or trap you with writer's block. But keep writing and we'll talk about some of these other issues next week.

Not yet Charlie!!
Sunday, November 23, 2008
Would you guys believe that Charlie tried to come out early? Well, a not so cozy 14 hour hospital stay sure put him in his place, now didn't it. We showed him!
I woke up the other night, not feeling so great. And when I say not feeling so great, I really mean, feeling like I was on the verge of death, and begging Christopher to find some kind of miracle relief. I thought maybe I had just eaten something bad (you know, with all of my crazy food allergies, that's usually the case). After a few minutes, I announce to Christopher... "I think I might be having contractions". 3 minutes later I notice another one. Followed by another. Some more after that. And then another. And then... holy crap, I'm in labor! How did that happen? Christopher made me a 2am bubble bath with my fancy lavender soap, but nope, Charlie wasn't having it. We called and woke up my good friend Kristen, and she came over and swept me off to labor and delivery. Because I didn't exactly go into natural labor with Eleanore, especially 6 weeks early, I half expected the nurses to tell me it was a false alarm, and send me home. Fast forward a few shots, collapsed veins, pretty pills, knock out drugs, and 14 long hours later... mission keep-Charlie-inside was a success! No baby yet. Lets hope he stays in until his scheduled arrival date of December 26th.

Maybe what you need to hear is just how much you are needed by us( me). I am going through similar things and always have been my whole life. I struggle with depression and have to sometimes fight my way through life. I never received much encouragement from anyone until now and hooking up with youse guys( Fanci's posses) has aided and helped me on so many ways. My struggle is no where near what you have been through... So if you can make it so can I...also I think we encourage each other to carry on. I have always been so competitive becaus elf my insecurities ... I feel like I am worthless... I'm way too emotional... But how can I use this to help me because I am so over it... Why am I so afraid of using my talents and exposing myself

text: It's done. I finally made time to start my blog. Funny how life can get carried away with all sorts of work and not 'me' relevant stuff and each day as you wind down you realize all the things you really want to do get pushed aside for the things you sort of have to do… so I made the blog a 'have to do' and then it was done.

Back to work!
I've slowly been getting back into work this week which started with this custom order pictured below, his name is Little Sedrick. He's super cute and he makes me smile every time I look at him, it'll be sad to see him go!
I've also been working on a new bunch of softies that will be in my shop by the end of next week. I acquired some new fabrics over the last couple of weeks which is great! I was getting sick of the using the same fabric, even though I love them it's great to mix it up with something new.
Tomorrow I'm off on a family holiday to the beach for four days, according to the weather report it's meant to rain for the next week so fingers crossed we get a day or two of sun! I hope 2011 has been a great year so far!

Kala Ukulele (U-bass) endorsing artist Jim Mayer
I first met Jim Mayer a few years ago at a Parrothead event (Tropstock) in Cocoa Village, FL. While our band (the Parrot Island Band) opened the event, Jim, brother Peter, Nadirah Shakoor and Doyle Grisham (all members of Jimmy Buffett's band, the Coral Reefers) were the musicians that everyone came to see (including me!). There were a number of other Trop Rock bands/performers at the event and it was a thrill for me to be a part of the event that had some of "Jimmy Buffett's band" to get to meet up close.
On Saturday of Tropstock, Jim (who also goes by "Uncle Jim" for his children's music events) played for all of the children who had come to the event. I enjoyed seeing someone who plays for a band as big as the Coral Reefers also share another side to his music. I have since seen Jim present his IM4U Anti-Bullying program to elementary and middle school students in Alabama (organized by my friend, Derek Raulerson) and I was moved by his passion for helping young people through his message and music.
As I looked at the list of Kala Ukulele artists, I saw Jim's name under those who play the U-bass (a baritone Ukulele that is built to be played as a bass). I thought it would be interesting to ask a few questions and hear about his current music projects (one of which includes the Kala U-bass)…
Bio (taken from http://www.unclejimrocks.com):
Jim's talent shines on both electric and upright acoustic bass, playing with performers ranging from jazz legend Mose Allison to James Taylor to Ringo Starr. As a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band since 1989, Mayer has been writing, recording and performing worldwide with Buffett.
In addition to appearing on numerous television shows, some of Mayer's career highlights have been: touring with and opening for The Moody Blues and Chicago as a member of PM [the Peter Mayer Group] (1989), performing as a Coral Reefer band member at President Clinton's Inauguration (1992) and President Clinton's White House Birthday Celebration (1995), performing with Joni Mitchell in a benefit for the New Orleans Homeless (1994), performing with Robert Greenidge, Michael Utley and Grammy winning artist Ralph MacDonald at the Trinidad-Tabago Jazz Festival (1996), and being featured on the XM Kids Rumpus Room Concert Series.
Mayer has played on over thirty studio recordings. Some recent recording credits include upcoming CD releases from Little Feat and JD Souther. And in his spare time, (spare time, what's that?) he's engineered and produced eleven CDs in addition to his own.
Jim resides in Nashville where he works continually to improve the lives of children and their parents with music and videos. He loves dogs, climbing trees, and chunky peanut butter.
Uncle Jim presents a compelling anti-bullying program entitled "IM4U" (I'm for you).
1) Where is home for you at the moment?
"Nashville, TN"
2) What were your earliest/current musical influences?
" Earliest: The Beatles
Current: Brett Dennen"
3) When did you start playing the Uke?
"Four years ago"
4) What Kala Ukes are you currently playing?
5) Any current musical projects you would like to tell us about (tours/CD's)?
"Just finished recording the new Buffett release in Key West, FL. The Kala U-Bass was used on special songs and sounded fantastic and unique; the band was digging it. Will Kimbrough sat next to me and played an 8-string uke and rocked on it.
Personally I am working on a Bully Prevention Teaching Program for young children called 'IM4U'."
6) Any question that you wished someone would ask but never has? with answer of course;-)
"Q:What keeps music interesting and keeps you inspired?
A: 1) Believing that notes I play really matter and require my complete attention, dedication and focus.
2) Keeping perspective by having a sense of humor about where my notes fit into the larger scheme of things. The ocean, the sky, a forest, a lake are all amazing and inspiring."
I have been a Jimmy Buffett fan for many years and I have also become a fan of Jim Mayer as well (both as a person and his music). Although I am not in the same league musically to Jim, it is neat for me to be able say that we are both Kala Ukulele artists. 🙂 I look forward to hearing Buffett's new CD when it comes out and I will be listening for Jim's U-bass and Will Kimbrough's 8-string Ukulele…
While we are certainly no Coral Reefer Band, our little Trop rock trio (the Parrot Island Band, a Trop rock/Jimmy Buffett tribute band from Atlanta, GA) is always ready to play some Buffett tunes while Jimmy and the rest of the band are filling their venues. I like to promote our little group as "Jimmy Buffett on a budget" and there are many groups like ours throughout the country who are thankful for the opportunity to share our love of Buffett music.
Thanks Jim, for taking the time to answer a few questions and always being ready to share your love for music and your infectious smile…
Beaches and blessings,
Bry Harris
Kala Uke Artist

The search continues for missing Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington. Friday, Crimestoppers announced a $100,000 reward for any information leading to the 20-year-old's whereabouts.
It's one of the largest rewards the area has ever seen. The money has been anonymously donated, but Fred Payne, the treasurer of Crimestoppers, said this is an indication of how serious this misisng person's case is.
"The people who've given the money are obviously very concerned about her whereabouts, and are going to do everything they can to get her back," says Fred Payne with Crimestoppers.
October 22, 2009
Virginia State Police and UVa Police are continuing their ground search around the University of Virginia Thursday for any further clues about Morgan Harrington's disappearance.
They're focusing their attention on the area behind the UVa track and the Davenport baseball field. A State Police spokesperson tells the Newsplex they've received some new tips that caused them to search the area again Thursday.
Police say Morgan Harrington's purse was found in a parking lot near the athletic fields, but there was no sign of a struggle in the vicinity. Police say there aren't any plans to bring back the search helicopter unless they decide they need it.
The search for the 20-year-old Virginia Tech student is also stretching into the valley. Students at James Madison University are handing out flyers, hoping that someone may have information that could help find the missing woman.
Harrington met up with friends at JMU before heading to Charlottesville for the Metallica concert Saturday night.
A student who is heading up the search effort at JMU says the most important thing they can do to help find Harrington is to spread the word about her disappearance quickly.
Friends of Harrington are holding a candlelight vigil at Northside High School in Roanoke County Thursday night at 7:00 p.m.
A reward of $100,000 is being offered by the Harrington family. Investigators have also set up a new tip line dedicated solely to the search for Morgan Harrington. The new number for that tip line is 434-352-3467.
EVENING UPDATE - October 21, 2009:
Lieutenant Joe Rader said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon in Charlottesville that Virginia State Police do not know if Morgan Dana Harrington is still alive or has met "an ill fate". Police investigators are treating the disappearance of Harrington as a missing person case within the parameters of a criminal investigation. However, Lt. Rader made it clear that there has been no reliable information that criminal misconduct has occurred.
Investigators planned to conclude the localized ground search of the John Paul Jones Arena and surrounding areas, including Klockner Stadium, the University of Virginia track, and Davenport Field early Wednesday evening. They believe that the ground search has been very extensive, but has not revealed any clues at this point. Lt. Rader added that unless new information becomes available, there will be no further air searches of the JPJ area.
Lt. Rader says police have interviewed Morgan's friends as well as people who saw Morgan either inside JPJ or outside the arena. They can confirm that Morgan was on the grounds outside JPJ until at least 9:30pm Saturday night. Police say Morgan exited the concert for reasons unknown and due to the John Paul Jones arena policy, was not allowed to re-enter the venue. Police have confirmed that Morgan contacted her friends while she was outside the arena to let them know she would be unable to re-enter the concert, which was the last known contact Morgan had with her friends.
Police also confirmed that Morgan Harrington's purse and cell phone were found in the parking lot between JPJ and the athletic fields. They say there appeared to be no signs of a struggle, however. Police also say the battery was taken out of the cell phone, but add it could have fallen out.
Rader was asked if Harrington was drunk or stoned when she left the arena. He didn't answer directly, but did say she was able to move about the facility on her own power.
Police have reviewed surveillance camera footage from the John Paul Jones Arena and surrounding area, but Lt. Rader said Wednesday that nothing has come of that effort.
A reward of at least $50,000 will be set up by the Harrington family through Crimestoppers in the next 24 hours. Investigators have also set up a new tip line dedicated solely to the search for Morgan Harrington. The new number for that tip line is 434-352-3467 and is being manned all day and all night. Lt. Rader said that police have received over 100 calls to the original tip line, with 20% of those calls he described as being "leads that needed immediate attention".
Charlottesville and Albemarle Police are aiding the UVa Police and Virginia State Police with their investigation.
Rader said a police SWAT team aided in the search Wednesday but that was only because they were already planning on doing some training and it was convenient to use them to help.
October 21, 2009 (morning update)
University of Virginia Police, Virginia State Police, and members of the FBI are actively searching for Morgan Harrington Wednesday around Davenport Field, where the UVa. baseball team plays its home games.
Wednesday morning, UVa. and State Police were seen searching the woods around Davenport Field and the track near Klockner Stadium. The UVa. track, Klockner Stadium, and Davenport Field are all part of a sports complex that is only one block away from the John Paul Jones Arena, where Morgan was last seen.
Morgan's parents, Dan and Gil Harrington, told reporters she was last seen going to the bathroom inside JPJ around 8:40pm Saturday night. They say Morgan then went outside before Metallica took the stage; security would not let her back inside. Gil Harrington told CNN's Nancy Grace that Morgan's purse was found across the street in the University Hall parking lot, not far from Klockner Stadium.
Avid heavy metal fan and CBS19 Chief Meteorologist Travis Koshko attended the Metallica concert Saturday night, and he says it was the safest metal concert he's seen.
"The thing that surprised me the most of all about this concert was how calm it was and how safe and in control the security was in the venue. There were policemen inside and outside. Yes, there were a few mosh pits, but those were suppressed," he said.
As Metallica continues their tour, they have released a statement on their web site titled "One of Our Fans is Missing".
We are deeply concerned about the disappearance of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington, who was last seen while attending our concert at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, VA, on Saturday night.
Police announced Wednesday morning that they will hold another news conference Wednesday afternoon at 3pm.
October 20, 2009
Almost three days after a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student from Roanoke vanished outside the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia State Police and University of Virginia Police continue to look for her. Investigators say they are following up on a couple dozen new leads that have come in since Monday's news conference with Morgan Harrington's parents.
A job fair was held at John Paul Jones Arena Tuesday. Hundreds of job seekers showed up, but just a few hundred feet away, down in the creek, police probed with batons, trying to find any bit of evidence. Police spent about fifteen minutes looking over a black piece of cloth. We could not confirm exactly what it was, though it looked like a tarp or a T-shirt. Police collected it for further information.
Fliers headlined "Missing" and explaining the mysterious disappearance of Harrington are being posted around Charlottesville as well.
Police investigators say they've received a couple dozen calls regarding Harrington's disappearance, and are following up on them. Each tip is prioritized based on the information provided.
Police are still encouraging the public to come forward with any information, especially those who may have gone to the Metallica concert Saturday night at John Paul Arena.
Anyone who may have been recording or taking pictures of the concert and/or audience with a camera or a cell phone Saturday night is asked to look over the video and pictures for someone who might resemble Morgan Harrington and contact State Police or UVa. police.
Harrington was last seen at 8:40 pm Saturday. She had gone inside JPJ with a group of friends, but ended up getting separated from them during the concert.
Read the story below for a detailed description of Morgan Harrington, and her parents' plea for her safe return.
Original Story:
Virginia State Police are searching the University of Virginia area for a missing Virginia Tech student. What was supposed to be a fun night out for 20-year-old Morgan Harrington has turned into a nightmare for her family.
Harrington was last seen Saturday night in Charlottesville at around 8:40 p.m. with some friends at a Metallica concert. Now, her family is speaking out, asking the public for help in finding their daughter.
Holding back tears, Harrington's parents are hopeful that their daughter will come home safe.
"Please come home. If someone has Morgan, please let her come home safely," says Dan Harrington, Morgan's father.
Harrington traveled to Charlottesville with a group of friends to see the popular metal band Metallica. She met up with a group at James Madison University, and they all made it to the John Paul Jones Arena safely, but State Police say Saturday night, Morgan Harrington somehow got separated from her friends.
Morgan's father reported her missing on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. She was supposed to be back home to take an exam she had been studying for. Morgan's father said it was uncharacteristic of her not to call.
Police say if Harrington is found, she probably won't have any identification or cell phone on her. They would not specify why. Our sister station ABC13 in Lynchburg reports that the Harrington's family Pastor says Morgan's purse was found in the parking lot of the John Paul Jones Arena.
"That's our biggest concern. It's unusual that her friends and family haven't heard anything regarding her whereabouts. That's the biggest concern- is her whereabouts and her welfare," says Lt. Joe Rader from the Virginia State Police
The search for Morgan Harrington is a missing persons investigation, which means police believe there's still a chance she's alive. Search helicopters and canines have been heavily searching the UVa area in hopes of finding some clues about what happened to her in Charlottesville.
Throughout this difficult and heart wrenching ordeal, Harrington's mom is staying hopeful.
"She has her Halloween costume picked out, and we'd love to see her walking around in it. She's got a dog that's missing her. Let's bring her back, and she can address all these things, so she can be back with her family," said Gil Harrington.
Morgan Harrington was last seen wearing a black Pantera shirt, a black skirt, black tights, and knee high black boots. She's 5'6" and weighs about 120 lbs.

The 1. 3 million euro municipal GIS for Caceres, Spain, was built from digitalcartography and alphanumeric data to make information more accessibleto staff and citizens. The project team used MicroStation and MicroStationGeoGraphics for cartography and database integration; Bentley Descartes todigitalize and georeference maps, satellite images, and orthophotos; and GeoWeb Publisher for sharing information via the Internet.
The GIS has provided numerous benefits, including better control of tax
collection, improved responsiveness to urban planning questions, superior
management of municipal heritage, total control of the census, and
comprehensive management of street maps. Through the GIS, the public has
access to continually updated information in more than 30 categories with 300
features, 500 maps, and 200,000 records.

All Municipal Geodata Available at Everybody's Desk
Tiel, Netherlands
In the Netherlands, the municipality of Tiel had been using CAD and GIS
applications for more than 10 years to build and maintain graphical and linked
administrative datasets. Gemeente Tiel implemented Flexi WEB—based on Geo
Web Publisher—to make geospatial information available from the desktop
(Phase 1) and then to the public (Phase 2).
The project team integrated multiple graphical and nongraphical data sources
into one homogeneous web interface. Data from various departments is now
shared internally and communications, work processes, and decision making
have improved. Among the many benefits, publishing of aerial images and
360-degree panorama pictures has nearly eliminated the need to do outside
inspections, saving an estimated $2 million.

True to the traditions of David Letterman's Late Show, which among other things revealed the UK's Prime Minister is so thick he did not know what the term Magna Carta translates to in English (just proves all that Eton tosh fails when its critical) here is Scottish Law Reporter's TOP TEN reasons why the controversial Scottish Legal Aid Budget is so high, currently standing at £160 MILLION a year.
Mr MacAskill and SNP MSPS are now backing huge cuts to legal aid. reported yesterday HERE and propose to force anyone charged with a criminal offence, guilty or not, to pay the Crown Office for the privilege of it! .. queue threats of some much needed industrial action in Scotland's legal community ! (Tally-Ho, chaps – Ed)
No. 10 The Scottish Legal Aid Board cant count !

No.8 Sole practising solicitor Niels Lockhart from Kilmarnock walked away with £700K of legal aid in three years while SLAB sat on it's fat a$$ and looked on, did nothing !
No.7 The Crown Office likes to charge as many people as they can with crimes they did not commit (to keep the prosecution statistics up, and justify their high salaries, bonuses)then drop the case at the final moment before someone catches on !
No.6 The cost of having Police fit up suspects and manufacture evidence to suit the crime has gone up more than the rate of inflation !
No.5 The Law Society of Scotland spends too much time on regulation when it should have been looking after the interests of its members and the justice system !
No.4 Fat cat judges & sheriffs on £200K a year, three houses, a farm and a poodle dressed in leather shorts need to justify their appearance fees in court !

Don't Break Your Back for Your Kitties!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Purina for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hand to heart I buy Tidy Cats litter loyally because it's the only thing I have found that works and works well. It tackles the nasty smells my cats can produce and it doesn't have tons of dust that send me into an asthma attack.
So the other day I was at the store and there were only two things on my shopping list… cat litter and persimmons. The first thing I went back for was the litter because even though I only had 2 things on the list, I knew I'd be purchasing at least 20 things. (Can you believe I worked in marketing for ages and I'm still such a sucker for product placement in stores?)
So I'm at the back of the store and it is abnormally crowded in the pet section. And I know that I'm about to look so stupid so I kind of lurk around looking shifty and waiting for these people to figure out their business and move along. I swear there were probably 30 people in the entire store with 12 of them hanging out with me by the cat toys.
And finally I just couldn't wait any longer and I decided that I was just going to grab my litter and be done with it. Now why would I be so embarrased about this? I mean, I'm not easily embarrased. It's because when I try to get that 40 pounds or whatever into my cart that thing slips away from me and goes crashing into whatever is across the aisle from me and I'm grunting and making strange noises of exertion because I am a weenie.
And the whole time I'm doing this I see the Tidy Cats Lightweight sitting on the shelf right next to what I'm grabbing. But it's not what I have used the past umpteen years so I'm sticking with my regular Tidy Cats, thank you! I did get my litter into that dangum cart and red faced I walked to go buy a few things that were on my list that I totally didn't need.
But then, like magic a few days later I get asked to check this stuff out and let you know what I think about it… So here is the deal. It's pretty much the same Tidy Cats your kitties have grown to love to scratch around in for far longer than necessary and kick all over your floor for ages but, wait for it, it's lighter.
I headed out to Dollar General and got an 8.5lb jug of the stuff and was surprised to find that it was equal to the 20 pound tubs surrounding it. And the last one on the top shelf way back in the back, but I was getting it. I asked a kind employee if there were any tall people working (as she was even shorter than me) because after a few minutes of serious deliberation I decided climbing on the shelves was a really bad idea.
This chick who was probably 5'2″ had to get a stepping stool and use packages from around to smack it toward herself and I could tell, she was surprised at how light it was. We both were, really. So this itty bitty thing grabs it so easily and hands it to me and it's like a lightbulb went off as I chucked it right into the cart like I'm Superwoman or something. This is pretty awesome. I don't have to try to raise 40 pounds above my head to get it into a cart that is skittering across the aisle! Why am I so adverse to change? Change can be good!
So back to the fact it is the same thing as your normal Tidy Cats litter you've grown to love but lighter. And to prove that to you, I'm giving away 5 coupons for a free 8.5 pound package of Tidy Cats Lightweight by Purina at Dollar General. You can test it for yourself and see that what I say is true!
To enter, just leave a message on this post and I'll pull names out of a hat and 5 of you will get some free cat litter to try out! I swear you'll love it as much as a person can love cat litter ;)

Hailed as the new voice of Britain's disaffected working class, this angry duo are riding high in the chartsby Serena Kutchinsky / August 11, 2015 / Leave a comment
Sleaford Mods shouldn't be successful. They make an uncompromising hybrid of hip-hop and punk. They rant about politics in a coarse stream of consciousness. They are both in their forties, which is pushing it to be considered hip. Their lyrics are distinctively doom-laden and their stage presence is best described as swaggering. But somehow, it works.
It's been a gradual rise for Jason Williamson, 44, and his partner Andrew Fearn, 43, with several stints on the dole, countless crap jobs and a minor drug habit along the way. Now, the Nottingham-based duo are enjoying critical and commercial success—their Glastonbury Festival performance was among the top five most shared clips on BBC iPlayer, and their new album, the intriguingly titled Key Markets, has just reached number 10 in the UK album charts. The critics have lined up to lavish praise on this, their third studio offering, with Q Magazine calling it "the finest album of its kind since (The Streets') Original Pirate Material" and The Independent predicting that it will "catapult them into the mainstream". On the record Williamson rails against the duplicity of modern party politics and spits insults at the liberal elite in a broad Midlands accent, while Fearn uses simple loops and drum-heavy basslines to craft an electronic interpretation of the punk sound they grew up with.
Sleaford Mods' increasingly broad appeal suggests that in this age of austerity, with traditional political structures increasingly under scrutiny and a resurgent left-wing movement looking likely to propel

This is my home as it stood in the summer of 1916. The regimental band photographed here in front of the main veranda and imperial draperies is that of the 208th Battalion (Canadian Irish). The gentleman in the white overalls to the far right was the owner at the time, and something of a mover and shaker for Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, the longest serving premier in British Commonwealth history, who served at the top of Canadian government for an incredible 21 plus years. Only Australia's Sir Robert Menzies and Britain's Sir Robert Walpole and Lord Liverpool come close.
In the 1920s and 30s, Mackenzie King frequented "Maplehurst" (the name of my property owing to a single or number of giant maple trees that graced and still grace the acred estate). In his famous diary he writes about his time here, his futilty against the local Tory stronghold and about evenings dancing away on the veranda above. It is thankfully not a "heritage property" (yet), though the township has made no secret of its desire to make it one. Over my cold dead body tax collectors, but rest assured that the ghost of Mackenzie King is safe in this old haunt, and I have no plans to vandalize the historical heritage of this site. Here below is a photograph of him on the property with the ladies who dwelled at Maplehurst. Interestingly, that maple standing directly behind him is still there. Evidently trees live longer than prime ministers, even really really long serving ones.
And here I come to the crux of my problem: the difficulty of paying true homage to a man I can't quite bring myself to admire. Mackenzie King for all his incredible strengths as a politician was in many respects a strange bird, not least his views on the monarchy at a time when its prestige was at it maximum, which I find perplexing for a man of his era.
Hereward Senior's article in 1971 entitled "Royalty and Mr. King" gives us a hint of what he thought about it. "As a democrat, he recognized its popular character. As a decent man, he appreciated the personal qualities of the King and Queen. Yet he felt rather vaguely that monarchy was wicked and really un-American. He noted that the Pilgrim Fathers wanted to get away from this sort of thing."
"Mackenzie King thought that the contemporary Canadian attitude towards the Monarchy was 'akin to the worship of idols' and also 'too much the worship of power and position.' Here he missed the point completely. The power was at that time in his own hands, not the King's, and although the Prime Minister was respected and feared, there was a notable absence of reverence...could it be that King felt that the deference accorded the Royal Family rightly belonged to him?"
"Although he lived in the age of Stalin and Hitler, King worried about the possible dangers of deference to the Royal Family, and did not see the Monarchy as democracy's first line of defence against the personality cult. King's conscience troubled him about the number of aristocratic guests at the residence of the Governor-General and the Lieutenant-Governors. Yet he describes in his diary the great pleasure he took in the official visit of Shirley Temple to Ottawa. It is a commentary on his sense of proportion that he wished to protect Canadian society from the contamination of aristocratic guests in Government House, but enjoyed providing the red carpet for the hero of Hollywood."

"New" and "More" aren't always an improvement
Earlier this week I attended a conference on cyber security. Included in the speaker list were experts from government and industry as well as our Congressional representative who spent a lot of quality time with attendees. While the conference was ostensibly about security of information and the human risks associated with that task, one point made in the Q&A phase by our representative struck me as odd – yet thoroughly expected, in character, and within the boundaries of political orthodoxy.
Put simply: small businesses get favored status in government contracting to compete with large firms and small businesses often grow into mid-sized business that lose favored status, therefore mid-sized businesses need favored status to compete with large firms and, thus, our representative is authoring legislation to grant favored status to mid-sized businesses. Huh?
Instead of identifying, understanding, and counteracting the advantages that large firms have to give them competitive advantage in government contracting, we're going to make arbitrary distinctions between small, medium, and large business and hand out favors to the first two. Right. I run a small business and can tell you what advantages I have over large businesses; I used to work in large businesses and I can tell you what advantages and disadvantages they have.
So here we have kind of a perverse variant of an old government habit of picking winners: the government acknowledges that large firms have advantages – some of which the government itself created – but wants to add new categories of favoritism so that everyone is special.
During the 2012 campaign, our representative and I were at a business luncheon in Merrifield where we each had a chance to speak and answer attendee questions. During a discussion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) I made the point the state-by-state insurance marketplaces were inefficient and that we needed a privately run nationwide market to increase competition and lower consumer prices. Our representative said it would be great to have nationwide competition, but now we have state-based markets ... and that's great, isn't it. Well, no, it's not and there's been no effort that I've seen from our representative to make a nationwide market a reality.
So instead of removing the existing impediments that impede private firms and broad markets, we nationalize fractured insurance markets. And once something gets imbedded it's hard to pry loose, making the transition to efficient markets more difficult.
In Vienna last year all three Congressional representatives from northern Virginia attended a breakfast meeting sponsored by Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce. As with a lot of political conversations in 2013, the discussion came around to expenditures, revenue, and a looming government shutdown. Our representative's answer to revenue issues was to hire more IRS agents and collect money that was "being left on the table".
So instead of making our tax code more efficient to make compliance more effective and less costly, we hire more enforcement and leave the bad old system in place? Transition from an old way of doing business to an improved way is always difficult no matter how bad the old way was. But adding new layers with greater complexity and cost is far worse, making any future transition harder.
The old adage of "getting it right the first time" doesn't mean getting it perfect. But it doesn't mean "throwing good money after bad" either.

Introducing the very special Ca' Del Monastero - a fine antique residence comprising 9 superbly restored apartments of varying size (including Ca' Del Monastero 9 - see its dedicated section below) situated in what was once the monastery connected to the ancient Church of San Degolà (one of the oldest in Venice), moments from the Grand Canal in the district of Santa Croce.
Enjoying an atmosphere of calm serenity in what must surely be one of Venice's most evocative and unspoilt neighbourhoods - indeed a step back in time - the Ca' Del Monastero apartments offer spacious and beautifully presented accommodation for small and medium size parties or up to 38 guests if taken together.*
No expense has been spared in its recent remodelling…
Carefully co-ordinated contemporary furnishings and soft neutral colours meld seamlessly against a traditional backdrop of polished red marble and/or traditional Venetian terrazzo flooring, while stylish high-spec fittings and attractive finishes, such as textured resin walls and luxurious feature wall coverings, give a fresh and fashionable twist to the building's ancient framework.
Enhanced by a range of up-to-date facilities as demanded by today's savvy traveller (including air-conditioning, Wi-Fi internet connection and communal utility facilities), the Ca' Del Monastero apartments are perfectly placed for communing with the true and heart and soul of the city and for visiting all that Venice has to offer while providing all the comforts of modern city living.
*Are you a part of a larger group who'd like to stay close together but in separate apartments? We offer eight other apartments within this residence: Ca' Del Monastero 1, Ca' Del Monastero 2, Ca' Del Monastero 3, Ca' Del Monastero 4, Ca' Del Monastero 5, Ca' Del Monastero 6, Ca' Del Monastero 7, Ca' Del Monastero 8.
Ca' Del Monastero 9
Spoil yourself rotten in this seductive new penthouse kitted out in such style that you'll never want to leave!
A striking addition to the fabulous Monastero family – with real personality and chock-full of charm – Ca' Del Monastero 9 sleeps 4 guests in surroundings where the ancient and contemporary link together as one.
Recently refurbed in such a way as to blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic of the residence, and displaying a novel and imaginative approach to layout and functionality, the apartment is reached by taking a lift to the second floor, followed by two short staircases rising to meet you from the splendid communal entrance on the ground floor below.
Prepare to be bowled over as you step across the threshold into this handsome Santa Croce 'home-from-home-with-a-heart', where ruggedly hewn timbers soar overhead, russet red marble gleams with mirror-like effect, and comfortreigns supreme.
A clever re-configuration of the plentiful space, accommodation comprises a stylish and cosy main sitting room/TV area* in lavender blue and with elephant grey seating beneath sloping eaves and, just to the side, a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast area* with all mod cons.
A modern chandelier-lit dining area with a dining suite for 4 plus a small relaxation area lies just beyond, and to either side, Ca' Del Monastero 9's bright and radiant dual-aspect double bedrooms designed along clean lines and each separated from the dining area by a sliding partition** - one with a double bed, and the other with two singles which can be converted into a double bed upon your request.
And completing the accommodation at the opposite end of the apartment - a handy cloakroom, and two spotless and equally well-designed bathrooms, one with a bathtub* and separate shower and the other with a shower.
* Please consult the photo gallery carefully for an idea of the sloping ceilings/restricted headspace present in certain areas of the apartment
** Please bear in mind if seeking absolute privacy that these partitions do not reach full ceiling height!
Our Comment
Style, creature comforts and history combined, in an area brimming with local flavour.
Within easy walking distance of Venice's Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma if travelling light, and even closer to the vaporetto (waterbus) stops at Riva di Biasio and San Stae on the Grand Canal for hassle-free travel around the city.
And so much to see and do right on your doorstep…
Moments to Campo San Giacomo Dell' Orio - one of Venice's most charming 'away from the crowds' tree-filled squares and home to a well-stocked Coop supermarket and nearby local shops - and a short walk to a Conad supermarket on the Rio Marin canal.
Close to a great variety of cafes, bars and eateries including All' Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta to name but a few, and within minutes of the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, Palazzo Mocenigo at San Stae (Museum of the History of Fabrics, Costumes and Perfumes) and the Fondazione Prada at Ca' Corner Della Regina.

STM32 USB firmware developpment
Budget €250-750 EUR
Hello Freelancers,
we are looking for an ST expert to develop a firmware for the STM32F07 MCU used on our boards.
The product is a keyboard with an integrated Hub and 2 flash storage solutions : one eMMC memory which stores a bootable LiveOS and a SD card reader external storage which is used for saving user-generated data from the LiveOS. Each memory controller and the MCU are each on a separate USB downstream channel, driven by a Hub IC connected to the host computer. HID USB keyboard capability as well as basic overall control of the board is provided by the ST32 and its firmware which is the topic of this job.
The MCU firmware has to provide the following functions :
1) Process keypresses from the keypad switches (24 pins, row/columns) and transmit them to Host over USB using HID, providing standard USB keyboard functionality.
2) Capability of setting the eMMC memory controller in write protected mode or not, depending on the position of an external user-activated 2 position switch (On or Off). Programmatically this is simply setting a pin High or Low on the controller depending on the position of the switch at power on.
3) Induce an adjustable delay (starting with 30 seconds) for the detection of the external SD card controller at power on / boot time. This is to reduce the number of bootable device enumerated by Bios or UEFI in the Boot on USB menu/list.
4) Slow fade/breath a LED located in the product's Power push button when the side switch is set to Write protected and pulse it fast when set to Write Enabled. This is to let user know that memory is not protected. Switch is set to Write enabled only to write/install system updates, once every 6-8 weeks.
5) The firmware needs to be autonomous at product power-on and user-updatable via USB once factory-flashed for future developments or bug corrections. Code signing or similar mechanism to prevent unwanted flashing would be appreciated.
For someone familiar with ST products, the job's duration has been estimated to be short and its complexity quite low by an in-house PIC firmware engineer. Please share your previous ST products work when applying as we require robust ST knowledge and experience in order to move fast.
The EE who designed the board can provide written guidance and support during the job. All schematics, keypad switch matrix table and a more precise written description for the above steps will be provided. A prototype test board may also be provided or testing/flashing can be done by us, depending on location and delays.
We stress that, the product being built around PC and Mac "Boot on USB" options, the firmware must be operating rapidly in order to be usable straight away in low level bios. HID implementation must be clean in order for the keypad to be used during boot menu selection in Bios or UEFI.
Provided timely delivery and all functionalities work correctly there will be more opportunities in the near future for additional jobs intended to implement additional features to this initial code.
Thank you for reading, we are eager to find and start working with the right person for this project!

Over the years I've encountered numerous 'get paid for your opinion' websites at varying levels of effectiveness. If you find one that is decent – you can make money, if you find one that is dodgy – you'll end up pulling your hair out!
This brings us to the Send Earnings surveys that are on offer at the moment at the CotterWeb Enterprise, Inc website.
Is Send Earnings legit or is it just another overblown market research gig…
Send Earnings Review
Signing up with this site was a pretty straightforward experience consisting of your typical online membership details:
- Name
- Address
- Create a username
- Create a unique password
- And…your phone number!!!
Yeah, I added that one last because I will never understand what some of these companies want with your phone number…
…apart from the obvious benefit of being able to spam it with all types of marketing opportunities!
Anyway – you can make your own mind up on that one!
So, you are sent an email and you click on it to fully activate your account – pretty much the norm with earn online sites.
Once they let you into the members area you have to complete a few questions relating to demographics then you are on your way.
Building up The Bucks!
So now you are a fully fledged Send Earnings member – how do you make money with this site?
#1 The Send Earnings Surveys
Much like the mighty Clixsense, this site's main earning portal is through the medium of online surveys.
It's the same type of drill that you normally go through with online surveys…
- The survey provider asks you a few questions to see if you are a good fit
- They let you know how much the survey will pay on completion
- You complete the survey and your account gets credited
The surveys will not make you rich alone but you will be looking at up to a dollar per survey completed.
#2 Earning Money Reading Emails
This is a pretty neat way of earning extra cash because it is basically 'brain dead' work.
You will be sent a handful of emails every day and all you have to do is click on the link they contain. You earn about $0.02 per email but most of them contain some sort of task or offer.
If you choose to complete one ( or all! ) of these offers you will end up with an extra payment ( which is a lot more than $0.02 ).
#3 Earn Money With Search Engine
Another simple way to rack up the amount of daily cash you earn with them is to use their search engine. You can use it several times a day and they pay you a rather measly $0.01 per search.
As you can imagine – you ain't gonna get rich using this method alone!
#4 Making Money Completing Offers
There are two main types of offers you can take on to earn:
- Paid Offers
- Free Offers
I would ALWAYS recommend staying away from the paid offers as they often involve you putting your hand in your pocket first.
The free offers will always stay away from this tactic but they usually require you to 'pimp out' your email address or cell phone number.
#5 Try a Bit of Affiliate Marketing
Most ( if not all ) earn online sites make use of the referral system to boost the amount of members they have joining.
These systems allow you to advertise the site online and twist people's arm to join up. If they join up they become your referral and you earn a commission off their earnings on the site.
Send Earnings Scam?
No I wouldn't really call this particular setup a scam as you don't have to spend any money to earn with them.
At the same time I wouldn't really recommend them either as I have come across a host of complaints about their platform.
When you compare this site to the mighty Clixsense it pretty much pales in comparison. Clixsense has been around for years now and about 99% of it's members are super-happy with their service.
Unfortunately I cannot say the same about Send Earnings. Here are a few of the more common complaints I came across online:
- Lack of surveys to complete
- Demographics make it hard to qualify for surveys
- Surveys not paying reward
- Survey crashing halfway through
- Completed offers don't pay out
- Low level of daily earnings
So you can make your own mind up about this site, I'm going to sit on the fence! It's certainly not a scam but there are glaringly obvious flaws in it's earning setups.
If you are interested in earning money this type of way I would always recommend signing up with Clixsense first. Read our full review on their services here

Ring set with pavé amethysts, cabochon amethysts, sapphires and diamonds, in white gold
A symbol of wisdom, the owl is a silent bird with a hypnotic gaze. "Noctua" is the Latin name of the Little owl, attribute of Athéna, goddess of wisdom.
On this jewel, the design of the feathers is precise and ample, they contrast with the lightness of the bird's eyes color.
The ring is beautiful no matter what side it is worn on - it can be positioned so that the animal's intense gaze is directed onto the wearer or onto the admirer.
Known as "the Divine One", the Countess of Castiglione was reputed to be the most beautiful woman of the century. A mysterious beauty, she lived in the basement apartments of 26 Place Vendôme thus sharing the Hôtel de Nocé townhouse with Frédéric Boucheron: she particularly loved his creations and soon became one of the Maison's most important ambassadors.
A collector of men's hearts, namely Napoleon III's, she was showered with jewelry by those who fell madly in love with her. So as to preserve her beauty from the harsh light of day, she only left her apartments in the evening, adorned in her jewels that sparkled brightly under the lights of the Place Vendôme. Legend has it that, when she returned home and was alone, she would spend hours contemplating them, fascinated by the magical dazzle of the splendid stones.
