fodder + folly
provender(food) + rubbish(waste)
things that have fed me this week that i am grateful for(fodder for the imagination & my soul): walking home after a visit to the library with my middle and finding this wall stretched out with these flowers, bees humming in and out of them.
-this post here about about creativity and letting things in.
-this art work by Karina.
-this lovely straight forward post from Catherine about the language of DSLR cameras.
-and most especially carved out spaces in trees
that hold secrets only the forrest stands witness to.
folly and rubbish: things that I would like to leave behind in the fields.
-things unattainable. such as the strong greedy desire in me to own this camera. Its so pricey but it makes me gasp with lust.
-put downs. they are never good for anyone's soul. remember how you talk out loud to yourself, it becomes the language your child learns. they in turn will think its okay to talk to themselves that way. this e-course seems like a good idea instead.
-assumptions. i am really trying to leave those in behind in the field to rot. to become fodder for something else.
+so this week, what has been provender, full of things that make you smile? what has been folly or rubbish you are leaving behind?

hello there! I love it so when you leave a bit of a note to let me know how you are and what you are thinking. I always love to hear about the things inspiring you and moving you through your day.

Read on to find six eco-friendly, dreamy treehouse bed designs to DIY or buy.1

DIY Treehouse Bed
 If you're up for the challenge, you can create this treehouse bed yourself. Juli, the blogger mom behind The Slow Life, dreamed up this indoor treehouse, drafted plans, borrowed some power tools and built the bed. We love the results and so does her 2-year-old. She even let her little one pick the paint colors and help do the painting. According to Juil, everyone young and old wants to climb into the bed when they see it - can you blame them?

- maja bed
Maja Bed
 While not as in-your-face treehouse as our other finds, this cleverly styled bunk bed still has that fantasy quality and leaves space beneath the top bed for play. Dreamed up by Finish design house Aalto + Aalto, is still in prototype mode. But the designers say the modular design was inspired by treehouses. We also like how this bunk bed fits uniquely into a corner.

- treehouse loft bed
Lofted Treehouse Bed
 Here's another DIY treehouse bed option. This one was handcrafted by one lucky girl's multi-talented grandfather. The detail of the trees branches is beautiful and the stairs leading up to the bed are wonderfully sturdy (and safe!) compared to most ladder styles. They even created a special reading nook beneath the bed.

Why Prices Go Up in Countries That Were Cheap
Over the holidays one uncle of mine talked wistfully of a motorcycle trip he took in Mexico "a while back" and went on about how incredibly cheap it was to eat out, swill tequila, and follow it up with a few Mexican beer chasers for a buck or two. He has lost track of time, like we often do, and is looking back at a bygone era. A time before NAFTA, before liquor conglomerates snatched up every tequila company with more than two employees, before the whole Mexican beer industry consolidated to just two companies with half-foreign ownership.
I've overheard the following phrase applied to places where the bargains are long gone: "It was so cheap there—you've gotta go check it out!"
Next time someone tells you that, be sure to ask, "When did you go?"
Ask any war vet grandpa about his weeks on leave and depending on how old he is he'll tell you great stories about how he spent $5 on a whole weekend with a Bangkok hottie and eight bottles of Mekhong, or how he bought wine for 50 cents a gallon in Italy and you could buy four movie tickets with a Hershey's bar. (Unfortunately, today's troops are caught in barren lands with no booze or babes, so their "you shouldda been there" stories are gonna suck badly decades from now.)
So where am I going with all this? Well last month there were some stats in one of those 1999-2009 wrap-ups that blew my mind. This story was about rising affluence around the world. The illustration at the top of this post is internet penetration growth during the decade, with the small circles being 1999 and the large one being last year. Go check it out for a minute and look at Vietnam and India. I cropped it to just show Europe and Asia, but it's the same dramatic explosion in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. More knowledge, more education, more opportunity, a higher standard of living. Too bad for you, shoestring backpacker, as it means you're no longer the only one with two pence to scratch together—or an ATM card.
But in a small column at the side in this newspaper article was something even more dramatic. Here's the change in the portion of population in these countries with a disposable income above $10,000, in percentage points. In other words, 84.2 % more Slovakians earn at least $10k above basic living expenses over the course of a year compared to just a decade before. That's huge.
Slovakia – 84.2%
Romania – 76.7%
Czech Republic – 75%
Hungary – 70.9%
Croatia – 68%
Poland – 56.8%
So next time someone tells you about how you can eat a five-course dinner in Eastern Europe served by guys in tuxedos while drinking two bottles of vodka and having a 20-piece orchestra play in the background for $8 apiece, you might want to ready a follow-up question. "When did you say you were there again…?"
Subscribe to the Cheapest Destinations blog
IN Suvlaki and Row-mania only 10 people earned more than 10 K.
Now 80 people have risen above this threshold.
So still almost nobody makes more than 10K.
800 percent rise does not impress me if I do not know the starting ground.
When very low like one in a million, 800 percent rise is a rise from nothing to still nothing.

I haven't posted anything in a while–I'll soon write to why that is.
Anyways I was getting tired of seeing Paris Hilton's face here so…bleh…
So seriously what in the world? …Rolly?
This thing gives a whole new meaning to mobile audio, having said that I've no idea what exactly Sony is trying to accomplish, if at all anything with this Rolly…
I saw this thing and I was baffled by what it was, what it was supposed to do…I read it's description only to now be baffled at why it was made…
Judging from the video:
It's a robot Pop and Lock-er(?)
Why? …and with a price tag of $449.00 the why deserves to be answered to some extent.
Sure it looks cool I'll give you that…still though, Rolly?
Update: rofl, well, Idiot Toys answers the question as to the why and adds, "…the Sony Rolly is the greatest disaster to hit humanity since the second world war."

iPhone experts Steven Troughton-Smith and chpwn seem to have just gotten the iPhone 4S-only Siri working on jailbroken iPhone 4 and current-gen iPod touch units this evening. This bypasses earlier authentication issues. They tweeted their success and posted a screen shot showing Siri working via Wi-Fi (the Airplane Mode icon just means that 3G is turned off, but it is possible to turn Wi-Fi back on even in AM; that's what they did.)
Their success comes just weeks after the iPhone 4S debuted. Since Apple's back-end systems are checking for iPhone 4S devices before processing Siri queries, they managed to work around this limitation. The hack is based on moving compiled code components from a 4S to the older units.
In an interview with 9to5Mac, Troughton-Smith recounts that the Siri transplant was about a 20-step process, and that it does require access to a jailbroken iPhone 4S to work. He has no intention of releasing the mod to the public; this is a proof-of-concept only.
Siri hacked to work on jailbroken iPhone 4 and iPod touch originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:27:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The software provided in this heavily discounted bundle includes an album cover search program, a re-invented clipboard app, an elegant FTP client, and more. Hurry up, there are only six days left before the offer expires.
The MacHeist team has been providing great software bundles for the Mac for the last three years. As any Mac user on the bargain hunt can atest, MacHeist bundles have been a huge hit with avid Mac fans due to the killer price often set ten times lower than the combined cost of the separate licences belonging to the included apps. The bundle includes the following apps:
- Rapidweaver – This Realmac Software's web site-building tool that comes with great templates is a $79 value.
- MacJournal – Mariner Software's fully featured organizer (a $40 value) helps you keep track of every piece of information that matters to you and includes built-in blogging tools and a handy life journal.
- Flow – Extendmac's elegant $25 FTP client lets you work with remote servers like with local files in Finder.
- Clips – Conceited Software re-invented copy & paste with this must–have $27 tool that soups up your clipboard with multiple items that can be organized for later use.
- RipIt – A winner of the 2009 MacWorld Editors' Choice Award, RipIt makes transferring DVDs to your hard drive ridiculously easy. A $20 value.
- Coverscout – Equinux's $40 coverart-finding app completes your music library by automatically filling all the blank spots in iTunes' CoverFlow mode.
- Tales of Monkey Island – Would-be pirate Guybrush Threepwood is back in a five-episode adventure game conceived by some of the same team behind the original LucasArts games. Normally worth $35.
When you buy a bundle, MacHeist sends 25 percent of its value to a charity of your choice. Nearly 10,000 bundles were sold at press time, raising almost $50,000 for charity. Furthermore, when 50,000 bundles are reached the team will unlock the full Tales of Monkey Island game for all purchasers. If you ask me, it's a no-brainer…
Last December, the MacHeist team released a nano bundle with seven Mac apps provided free of charge, the first time ever in MacHeist's three-year history. I strongly advise Mac fans pick up the $19.95 MacHeist bundle because nowhere else you will find quality software provided legally and – most importantly – dirt cheap.

At the time of writing this, the Wikipedia article for the William Gibson novel "Neuromancer" says "There have been several unsuccessful initial attempts at film adaptations of Neuromancer". This is the understatement of understatements. Gibson's book is widely heralded as the largest contributor to the solidification of Cyberpunk as a genre, and a (respectful) film adaptation could be the most important thing to happen in the area since… well, ever. Rather than flood the site with 100s of articles about the progress of this project, we're going to continually update this page with news as it surfaces with newer info at the top (read up from the bottom for a full history).
2014, Feb – The head of Seven Arts Entertainment, a major investor in this Neuromancer film adaptation has been charged with Film Tax Credit Fraud. It is as yet unclear how seriously this will impact on the production, but remember to stay in touch for any news as it appears. More info here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/movie-producer-peter-hoffman-charged-679077
On a more positive note, we recently had the pleasure of seeing the low-budget Mexican scifi film Sleep Dealer (2008) and felt compelled to mention it in this Neuromancer article. If you can overlook some slightly less than convincing special effects, it is an excellent piece of cyberpunk film-making and is clearly influenced by the Neuromancer book. It immediately re-validates many of the themes and ideas from 80s cyberpunk and brings them into a more "modern" (for want of a better word) context, without losing any potency. Find it and watch it!
2013, Oct – An article on Yahoo Finance ( http://finance.yahoo.com/news/seven-arts-announces-sales-mipcom-133000567.html ) reveals that a four-minute "previsualization teaser" has been screened at the 2013 American Film Market in California. What type of content this will be is unclear, but what we do know is that any news of production moving is good, and WE WANT TO SEE THIS FOOTAGE.
2012, Nov – ComingSoon.net get this snap of an early teaser poster for the film at the American Film Market (AFM) industry event in Santa Monica. It would appear to indicate that stick-on "trodes" from the book have been replaced with (nice and grungy) metal socket connectors, and that console jockeys possibly now "Jack In" (very happy to see they retained that phrase too) using their hands…
2012, Aug – Concept art for the film emerges (see below) and the GFM Films wesbsite now has a page about the production ( http://www.gfmfilms.co.uk/films/pre-production/neuromancer/ ) with a synopsys that is reassuringly true to the source material:
Case is a low level hustler living out his last days on the streets of the future Tokyo underground. A talented thief who would break into high security computer systems by directly linking his brain into them, he is discovered and injected with a poison which renders him unable to interface into cyberspace. Unable to work, Case embarks on a self-destructive path of drug addiction and double dealings, waiting for a local crime lord to collect on money and time that doesn't exist. Enter a shady businessman named Armitage who offers him the impossible: the chance to repair his neural damage and regain the life he once had. There is a catch though. Armitage has implanted timer activated poisons in Case's body that he can react if Case doesn't carry out what he asks. Placed under the protection of Molly, a professional killer who frees him by executing the crime lord, Case is put on a mystery assignment that begins a journey out of the gutters of future Tokyo and into an ever-expanding world of multinational intrigue.
The fist tattoo would indicate the first image is Arimitage. Could Mark Wahlberg have been offered this part (given his muscular physique), or the part of Case?
2012, July – Some news of progress with Natali emerges; Mark Wahlberg and Liam Neeson are offered parts. Neeson seems like he could play a few of the roles but Wahlberg seems worryingly out of place, especially if he is being cast as Case, the 24 year old nerdy drug addict cyberspace hacker (not a typical Wahlberg role).
2012, Jan – Natali's next film, "Haunter", goes into pre-production; questions are raised about whether he is still working on Neuromancer.
2011 – Seven Arts Pictures and GFM Films (the producers working with Natali) confirm they have secured $60m (£37m) funding for the production at the Cannes Film Festival; the film goes into pre-production with Natali's screenplay; Rumors of Bruce Willis being attached (?!)
Below is a press conference video from Sept 2011 where Natali talks about adapting Neuromancer for film, comparison with The Matrix and working with William Gibson:
2010 – Salvation comes with the news that Vincenzo Natali would be rewriting the screenplay and directing the film. Most fans are behind this, given Natali's previous work on low-budget scifi films Cypher (2002) and Cube (1997) using non-mainstream talent; however many have given up on there ever being a film by this point, and some are starting to like it that way.
2007 – It emerges that director Joseph Kahn is working on a film with Milla Jovovich in the lead role of Molly. The news does not meet fans well as his only film directing credit at the time is Torque, a CGI-heavy cheesy action film about biker gangs starring Ice Cube. Some early storyboards emerge showing a Matrix-like action sequence; everyone looses faith.
2000-2004 – Various on/off information surfaces regarding British director Chris Cunningham picking up the director's chair for what would be his first full-length feature film. Due to the intense and gritty Cyberpunk-influenced visual style of Cunningham's music video work, fans rejoyce and Gibson states that he is "The only person I've met who I thought might have a hope in hell of doing it right". Cunningham then leaves the project, possibly due to being a first time director without final cut approval and because too much of the book's ideas had been cannibalised by other films (worried he'd be accused of making a Matrix rip-off for his first film?)
1995 – Johnny Mnemonic (another Gibson story set in the same universe as Neuromancer) is released as a large-scale film production starring Keanu Reeves. It meets a negative reception but develops a cult following due to the strong Cyberpunk themes and aesthetics being brought to life. The "Molly" character does not appear in the film (despite being in both Johnny Mnemonic and Neuromancer stories) – presumably because the rights to use that character are part of the Neuromancer film rights.
1986 – William Gibson sells the Neuromancer film rights to Cabana Boy Productions but a film never gets off the ground. Things go quiet for a while.
1984 – The William Gibson novel "Neuromancer" is published; wins various scifi literary awards; remains popular but unknown outside of the genre; enormous cult following; accusations of copying "Blade Runner" in style and tone, although Gibson denies them.

Thin chips made from potatoes, parsnips or sweet potatoes make a tasty garnish or snack. Here's how to thinly slice them before baking or deep-frying.
Method 1: Use a sharp knife to trim the base of the potato. This helps to keep it stable on the work surface. Use the knife to thinly slice.
Method 2: Run a vegetable peeler down the length of the parsnip from root to tip to thinly slice. This also works well for carrots.
Method 3: Use a mandolin to cut vegies, such as sweet potato, into thin slices. Hold the mandolin over a bowl to catch the slices.

|I can't believe I have to work with this guy.
Jean-Claude Van Damme x2! What more could you possibly want? A story and acting lessons couldn't hurt but let's not get into that. He plays Alex and Chad Wagner who are twin brothers whose parents were murdered in Hong Kong quite viciously by the triads. Alex is the tougher brother who grew up in Hong Kong while Chad is the gentler brother. They team up to take revenge on their parent's brutal deaths.
Let me start with, "It wasn't actually that bad." My very words see it's in quotes. Van Damme's acting was more acceptable this time possibly because he was able to see himself from a different angle. I hope you get that one, ha-ha! One aspect that I don't comprehend is that the brothers lack accents from their respective place of being raised. The main focus is on Alex who spent his entire life in Hong Kong. Would he even speak English? If so wouldn't it be with a Chinese accent? Now that would be hysterical, to hear Van Damme speak with a Chinese accent! Chad did grow up in France I believe but there is no accent there as well, possibly because he went to America. In a movie like this is no big deal but it sure is funny to think about.
|I bet you're glad you checked out this review now.
The beginning of the story is a bit difficult to warm up to but it becomes more interesting as Alex is introduced. He is the twin who shows more aggressive behavior and attitude. Also I crack up whenever he calls his brother Chad a faggot. To see Van Damme call himself a faggot is hilarious considering Chad does wear those tight gymnastic types of cloths. Overall Alex is a better character in the story. It is unfortunate that the first scene of Chad we see is from a camera angle directly behind his butt as he does his patented splits. It's in his contract to showboat he is man enough to do that.
Moving on, Alex is unwilling to believe Frank (family bodyguard and fake uncle) and Chad's idea that the brothers are heirs to a tunnel built in Hong Kong to connect the city more properly together. The plot revolves around the triads trying to kill the brothers to gain control of the tunnel and the profits therein, I think. It wasn't particularly clear or steadfast in the main storyline. Big surprise right, the director knew that two Van Damme's would cloud up the story well enough to hide that it really sucks. You have the bad guys Nigel Griffith and Raymond Zhang teaming up to finish off the family. Griffith was originally the partner to the twin's father until he turned evil and had them taken out. Zhang is a crime boss and basically gets involved in shady doings naturally.
|The only movie I was ever in.
The brother's feud with each other as Alex at one point believes Chad is trying to make some moves on his girlfriend. He even fantasizes about his girlfriend making love to his brother, so it's like a fantasy about him making love to his girlfriend right? I'm so confused. That leads to some nifty scenes of Alex being piss drunk and letting his anger take him over. Van Damme pretending to be upset while drunk is good stuff. Chad and Alex do fight, and then as these things so often happen they make up and go after the men who killed their parents. Its like, "Oh, right I knew we were supposed to be doing something." The girlfriend and Frank get captured that leads to the twin's finally teaming up to end this masterpiece.
The fight scenes themselves were a bit brutal and shorter which was good, if any longer you would become uneasy while hoping for the ending credits to begin. The final boss battles were decent and by no means dragged on and on. I absolutely hate when that happens! It was rather enjoyable to see the twins beat the crap out of obviously weaker old guys. Alex did have to take on old Bolo again and I'll add it was solid.
It's not winning any awards, duh, but as far as any other films I've seen Van Damme in, it is an upward step. The fight scenes were the focal point which took away from any type of interesting story to follow. But let's face it the story never mattered so the fight scenes might as well took center stage. It's a watchable movie and has many scenes where you laugh when it's not intended so that's a bonus.
Alex: I hear all sorts of bullshit every day, pal. You want some advice? Take your fancy clothes and your black silk underwear and go back to Disneyland.

Product Reviews
I'm very very pleased...
1. The futon cover arrived quickly, within just a few days of placing my order. It is rugged, and seems to be well made overall. Pretty standard fare for futon covers. It does take some effort to get the mattress in there, which is to be expected. The fit was perfect...nice and snug.
2. The mattress I ordered was the Mars. It arrived within a week and a half. It is very comfortable if you prefer a firm feel. I was very pleasantly surprised...the last mattress I'd had that felt this good cost 3 times the price! The build quality is excellent. Sturdy materials, heavy duty stitching, etc.
3. The frame itself is the Dillon, and it came in 2 boxes...one with the seat and back, and the other with the arms/legs. A word of advice for assembly: you will probably want to have someone on hand to help you with a step or two. This arrived 2 weeks to the day of placing my order.
The frame is very solid, and the finish is well done. The directions were pretty clear, and all of the necessary parts were there, so it went together pretty easily. I followed the directions carefully, and it took me about an hour and a half to unpack, arrange, and build.
4. I'd ordered gripper strips, and was somewhat surprised to see that they were foam! They're roughly 4 in wide, and have adhesive on the back. The adhesive is sticky enough to hold to the wood, but doesn't destroy it if you don't lay it right the first time. (Note: both strips are the same length, and the decks of the futon are not, so one will need to be stretched a bit!). My only (minor) gripe is that the edges of the frame are not as wide as the strips, so of course, they extend down onto the slats.
5. In action: This is very comfortable!!! In couch mode, the front of the seat angles upward a bit, so that my knees are high enough for my feet to sit flat on the floor. NICE! The seat is a bit narrow (the back is taller than the seat is deep), but this angling makes it very cozy and comfortable.
Folding it up or down to/from bed mode takes a little practice, but it works pretty well. As a "wallhugger", you don't need to drag the whole thing out from the wall, which is good, because it's very heavy/sturdy. Strata was kind enough to include a nylon strap to help lift the back upward when going from bed to couch mode. Very very nice touch.
I'm very very pleased with the set. Very high marks for quality and comfort, without breaking the bank. Strata called to confirm that my frame had shipped and also confirmed my arrangement for delivery. They were very nice, and made me feel very welcome to call them with any questions or concerns. Happily, it doesn't seem like I'll be needing to.
I was extremely happy with FutonPlanet.com's selection and pricing

Does Slayer really need an introduction? All right then... It's been six years since we had a piece of material from these old fellas which is quite a gab, and a lot of shit happened since 2009. New label, new members, new production team and the loss of Jeff.
Repentless starts off pretty strong with the title-track being introduced by the instrumental "Delusions of Saviour". While the intro track, just like 95% of other intro tracks, could've been used for a mid-section is a bit redundant, I must admit that I enjoy the title-track, "Repentless". Bostaph thrusts a lot of life into the track with his all around solid and tight performance. But after that, there's a wide gap until something worthwhile comes along.
"When the Stillness Comes" was very quickly compared to "South of Heaven" and therefore labeled as a major throwback. However this track does not make it into the highlights spot. It never really takes off properly and seems unfinished. But I will give them credit for bringing some variation into the album. Slayer already did a track reminiscent of "South of Heaven" in 1994 with "213" which I think is a better track.
We're also treated with some recycling in the likes of "Atrocity Vendor". It was originally recorded during the World Painted Blood sessions and released on a single the year after. There's not much change from the original version. Still corny and forgettable. "Implode" is probably one of the worst tracks off the album and it was definitely not a wise decision for this to be the first track to be heard from the album back when it was announced. Forgettable. That's the word I have to use again and again. It's not until the second last track, "You Against You" that we get something that's worth coming back for. Just as the title-track it mixes some good riffing with skank-beats and just good songwriting. Of course, this does not rank among the band's best offerings, but it's solid, and a relief on this record. It's really hard not to shout along when Tom yells out "YOU AGAINST YOU!"
Behind the knobs is Terry Date, who has produced a lot of albums which I love, not only because the songwriting but also the production. He does a good job on this album. I am pretty sure he had some restrictions, because the albums sounds like you would expect. Just like a Slayer record in 2015. However credit is due for the heaviness on the record. The instruments sounds have a good depth and punch to them. I do however think both Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood had more character in its productions, especially when it comes to the guitars. But it wouldn't had made any sense to go down the same road once more.
To the touchy subject, the line-up. This is the first album without Jeff and once again Dave is out of the band. A lot of fans have said that it's not Slayer without Lombardo and continue to do so. And as an almost lifelong Slayer fan I would like to say that it is total fucking bullshit. Bostaph is a really good drummer and if anyone shines on Repentless, it's definitely him. People seem to forget the past he has with Forbidden, featuring on two of the best thrash albums to come out of the bay area. Whether Dave or Paul plays on this record doesn't change the fact of who's at the helm of this ship. Would the album have been better if Jeff was alive? Maybe and maybe not. God Hates Us All and Diabolus in Musica are still pretty bad, and don't take that the wrong way, I still grief Jeff's death. Would it have been better if Gary Holt contributed? Maybe and maybe not. Blood in Blood Out was definitely not the return everybody had hoped for. But I hope to see him contribute in the future, because Slayer won't stop until both King and Araya are in the nursing home.
So throw your goddamn "everything but the original line-up is not Slayer"-goggles. I witnessed this line-up perform at Wacken 2014, which is on the deluxe edition, and it is a fucking power demonstration. As Gary Holt said, he is not some new kid, or a groove metal-dude. He's a veteran. And so is Bostaph.
I only find two tracks worthy of coming back to on this record. The title-track, "Repentless" and "You Against You". Would I mind hearing these tracks live? No... Would I mind hearing something from Christ Illusion or World Painted Blood live? No... But I sure as hell would prefer a set-list only with excerpts from the first six studio releases and hear the classics. At least it has a pretty face. The cover for this album is without a doubt the best since Reign in Blood.
If I were to place it on the list, I would place it under the last two albums, but it's definitely a better record than both God Hates Us All and Diabolus in Musica. But, what you see is what you get. More of the same. For some, that is fine and is going to cut it perfectly, and I'd wish I was on the same wagon. But I'm not.
R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman, 1964-2013.

Splish, splash, splosh.
Oh the rain.
It has been raining in Sydney for three days straight. Or maybe it has only been two, but man it feels like three. I don't mean for this blog to turn into a rant about teaching and the trials and tribulations, but please, hear me out:
Why do we have to go to school when it rains?
We can't leave the room, for starters. As the rain pounds against the walls, we become locked in a battle of wills as to who will break first: the students or myself, in this brightly-coloured prison. Yes, I like a positive learning environment, so my walls are a thing of beauty, but that does not mean I want to stare at them all day long without a break. Who will need to go to the toilet first, me or them? Who will hit someone first, me or them? Who will attempt to sneak out of the classroom first, me or them? Strange things happen on a rainy day at school.
I spend much of the day chastising children for getting wet. I am not really sure why I bother. They do take umbrellas with them when they walk around the school, but I am sure they only take them to humour me. Umbrellas seem to serve mainly as an obstacle against collection of rainwater in one's mouth, or to hamper optimal puddle-jumping velocity. They come back with the bottom of their trousers soaked, their shoes muddy and the tell-tale sign of excited, pink cheeks. They've just had the time of their lives.
Wouldn't it be good if we all lived in a Shirley Hughes book? That way, puddles could be celebrated (and even encouraged, by the purchasing of special puddle-jumping boots) and birds could be chased and we could get muddy, grassy and wet and it would be nothing but exhilarating. We could wear 'macs' and 'wellingtons' to the park, and to school, we'd wear sweet little brown t-bar shoes and corduroy trousers.Then we could all go home and dry out wet clothes on the hearth, with a mug of steaming cocoa warming our hands.
All images by the lovely Shirley Hughes, from her must-read book 'Alfie's Feet'.

HONORING EARTHA KITT FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTHFebruary 5, 2018
Today we are honoring Eartha Kitt for Black History Month.
You may know her as Catwoman from the classic Batman TV series or for her amazing rendition of "Santa Baby" or as Lady Eloise in the Eddie Murphy film Boomerang, regardless there is no denying Kitt was a force of nature in the world.
Born on a cotton plantation in South Carolina, she rose to become a celebrated singer, actress, dancer, comedian and activist.
Kitt also spoke four languages and was able to sing in seven. Purr-fection!
Among her plethora of industry accolades, she received two Tony nominations and won two Daytime Emmy Awards.
In 1967, Kitt took over playing Catwoman from actress Julie Newmar in the third season of Batman. The groundbreaking role would cement her status in Hollywood history forever.
Kitt passed away on Christmas Day 2008, but her legacy continues.

She is an unusually competent, attentive and
responsive agent, and her staff is very pleasant as
well. I can recommend Ngaire whole-heartedly. We
always have confidence that if something goes wrong,
Ngaire will jump in and get it fixed for us right
In 2004, we took a trip to New Zealand organized by Ngaire and the arrangements were lovely and exactly as represented to us. All of the lodges and hotels, plus the recommendations on activities and sightseeing, were tailored for our interests and were just what we wanted.
Did you know that Ngaire is a New Zealand native?
We will be using her whenever we get back to New Zealand, which we hope will be in the next couple of years. It is a magnificent country. Enjoy!
We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the exceptional services you have provided on our behalf as well as the many little things that are above and beyond the call of duty. Not only have you been very professional, efficient and considerate: the personal attention and dedication you give to each client and booking is far superior to anything we have ever experienced. Time and again you have "gone the extra mile," to insure an enjoyable and memorable experience. All of our dealings have been pleasant and painless. The peace of mind we enjoy is due to the complete trust and confidence we place in you and your ability. We can't recommend your services enough and look forward to a long and happy relationship.
Brown and Keene [Keene Luxury Travel], keep doing your "Magic"!
The amount of personal
attention that I get from Ngaire is incredible.
Honestly, I probably would have paid more for that
kind of personalized service, but Ngaire's prices actually beat everyone else's! She's honest,
prompt, conscientious, knowledgeable and she "goes to bat" for me as if I were her only client. Ngaire makes planning a vacation an exciting experience.
Clay was recommended to my wife and I by friends who are avid travelers. Our experience with KLT, in general, and Clay, in particular, is that we have always gotten very knowledgeable service and with our best interests in mind.
Linda Litteken is absolutely the best! Linda ensures that every detail has been addressed and that your vacation is seamless without any hitches. We have now booked our fourth cruise through Keene Luxury Travel and are completely sold on their recommendations. We have employed travel agents in the past and were disappointed. Then we found Ngaire and Linda!
I want to send you a short note indicating what a superb job Susan Walsh does for her clients. She is knowledgeable, thorough, demonstrates initiative, handles all items on a timely basis, and is very personable. I have great confidence in Susan's ability. It is a pleasure to deal with her.

|Dress appropriately for the interview.
Preparation is twofold. Thoroughly research the organization, specific department, and the job role. This requires significant time and energy. At the same time, you will be doing some self-reflection to determine if this is a proper fit for you. Prepping the resume for EACH job that you apply to will help you define and determine your skill sets to see where you may be lacking for the industry or job, and can also help you appropriately articulate your strengths. You know your resume is done well if you get called for an interview. You should spend ample time reviewing interview questions so that you are comfortable with how to "sell yourself."
Ask yourself if you "look the part," during the interview. Are you equipped with Skype, conference calling, or other possible mode of connection with the interviewer if that is part of the process? Have you paid special attention to proper grooming, hygiene, dress and manners for the face to face interview? Are you leaving a positive impression on everyone you have encountered in the process, including the administrative assistant who checked you in?
After-the-interview practices can carry you over the top as a candidate and can, in some cases, salvage a poor or botched interview experience. The same day that you have a phone or face to face interview - sit down and pen a hand-written thank you. Purchasing a box of 10 generic thank you cards at the Dollar Store to have on hand for all professional encounters will demonstrate proper etiquette and gratitude for time each person spent with you. The thank you should be sincere and mention specific talking points discussed during your call or face to face meeting. With a quick website search - you can locate the correct spelling of the persons' names with whom you spoke, their titles, and a mailing address. An email can also be sent and is absolutely better than no acknowledgement at all.
For more detail on these and other interviewing tips click here to view the 15 minute archived webinar. The internet is full of great material that covers all aspects of the phases of the interview process. Plus, be sure to check in with your home institution's Career Services Department for direct assistance with resume assistance, interviewing practice, employer networking opportunities and career fair information.
Success can be yours! "Success is where preparation and opportunity meet." Bobby Unser

Just press the x and it will delete itself off of your iPad. For movies, just hold down n swipe to the right of movie name, then a delete tab will show up. Press delete and ur done. Some movies, if installed from app store or iTunes has an icon. For those just hold the icon down until u see the x. Press the x and it's deleted.

About Grammar
- Details
- Category: Grammar
To understand the structure of language in general, it is necessary to be able to identify the different types of word that make up a sentence. Strictly speaking, sentences are made up of 'clauses', clauses are made up of 'phrases', and phrases are made up of words, but don't worry about this – for the purposes of these exercises, we will ignore phrases and clauses, and just refer to words and sentences because this is more understandable to the average reader (well, to me at least).
I received a normal secondary school education in the UK during the 1980's, and I scored pretty high marks in English. However, when I left school, I would have been hard pressed to tell you what an adverb is. Maybe they didn't teach us very well, maybe they did but I wasn't paying attention, or maybe I just forgot.
In any case, I will assume that you, as a reader are completely unaware of the difference between nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, etc. Apologies if any of these articles sound patronising, but if, like me, you didn't learn this stuff at school (or forgot), then this will all be uncharted territory...

Strangers silently we passed.
Only to look behind
The other's head has also turned.
One beautiful smile from you,
Relieved my heart of grieve.
Like honey, you cover the lawn
fleeting beauty-
In the cool morning air.
Many are the times
I wish.
I wish I would have you for my own.
When I say to you,
I pause & wonder.
I stop & ponder.
If what I have to say,
Truly holds promise.
Words, they say
are lightning strokes.
The wise pause & wait.
Only that the desire in me
Overwhelms my heart.
In quiet urgency
I want to say.
In the least bit of words,
You are special to me.
You are charming.
You have a sense of humour.
You make my heart radiant with joy.
You are very beautiful.
I wish
I wish I would have you for my own.
Perhaps it's the beautiful smile,
Or maybe your eyes.
The casualness & the great personality.
I don't want to end up a love-lorn
That is why I wish you feel the same way....

The Dalles Both Sandy and The Dalles Wahtonka had several opportunities to score —the Lady Pioneers, however, cashed in those extra chances.
Sandy's Chelsea Spanier homered as part of a four-run, third-inning outburst and the Eagle Indians totaled nine hits, but left nine on base and went 3 for 11 with runners in scoring position in Friday's 5-2 softball loss at 16th Street Ballpark in The Dalles.
Three TDW miscues set the stage for Sandy's scoring chances, as four of the five Pioneer runs were unearned.
In all, the Pioneers tallied five hits, three in the decisive third inning with a single, a double and Spanier's round tripper setting the stage.
"We played hard, we made errors, and they acted on them, so it did not work in our favor," said sophomore third baseman Morgan Goslin. "We just got to help the pitchers out behind us. It was not a total blowout, but we will act on our errors and we will come back better next time."
Down 5-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning, TDW put up its best offensive surge with two runs on five hits.
Katherine Kramer started out with a double, and then Melanie Taphouse singled to put runners on the corners.
Up next was Katie Helyer.
The senior shortstop went to battle against Sandy ace Sammie Byron in a seven-pitch showdown.
Helyer end up winning this matchup and reached on an infield single to load the bases for Goslin.
Goslin roped an RBI single to center, scoring Kramer to put TDW on the scoreboard trailing 5-1.
Kella DeHart then chased home Taphouse with an RBI single to left to make it 5-2.
The Tribe had the bases loaded and no outs, but Byron settled down with back-to-back strikeouts and an inning-ending groundout to escape the threat.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Shaela Buchanan walked and Carley Gowdy singled to right on a 3-2 pitch to put runners on first and second.
One out later, Kramer bounced into a fielder's choice and crossed first base safely, but courtesy runner Lori Cimmiyotti was forced out at third base for the second out.
Taphouse then worked a four-pitch walk to load the bases with two outs.
Two pitches later, Sandy's Presly Turin fielded a ground ball and flipped it to shortstop Hailey Valilki at second base for the game-ending force out.
TDW left the bases loaded once, stranded runners on second and third another time, had a runner left behind at second base in the third and one on third in the opening frame.
In the fifth inning, the Eagle Indians had a base runner gunned down on a pickoff play at first base.
Byron threw a lot of pitches, but managed to make the right pitches and get some fortunate bounces to wiggle out of jams.
"They are a really good team. Their offense is even better," Byron said. "I was just planning on mixing it up a little on them in this game. I had to throw my changeups a lot and move my off-speed pitches on the edges to keep them off balanced. That was the key. I had to mix it up a lot and try to stay one step ahead of them."
Coming off a game where they rattled off 22 hits and 24 runs, Tribe skipper Steve Garrett could not complain about nine hits and three walks.
He mentioned DeHart, Helyer, Taphouse, Kramer, Gowdy, Meghan Rowland, Goslin and Morgan Triperinas for bringing their good strokes to the dish.
"We are hitting the ball very well. Very well. All through the lineup," Garrett said. "I was very impressed with the way the bottom of the lineup came through. Some of those girls who had struggles came back and did well tonight. We were getting good swings in. I am very excited about that."
Gowdy finished play 2 for 2 with a walk and a stolen base, and Kramer added a 2 for 4 effort with a double and run scored.
DeHart added two hits and drove in a run, Goslin added a hit and an RBI and Taphouse chipped in a hit, a walk and a run.
To get a handful of walks to go with 21 hits in 12 innings played thus far is a good sign for a program that is known for its prolific offense.
"We created opportunities to score. We just have to get those hits," Goslin said. "They are a good team. We are better than that, but we will do better next time. We still think we have a team here thatcan definitely do some damage this year. We will definitely get it done. We are capable."
Triperinas got the starting nod and tossed four innings of four-hit ball with a strikeout in her second game of the year.
Gowdy closed out the game with three innings of one-hit, scoreless ball. She retired the first seven batters she faced.
"The 5-2 score was indicative of how close of a game it really was," Garrett said. "It was a well-played game, just infield errors hurt us. One inning cost us a ballgame. It is a matter of calming down a little and getting in rhythm to make the sure plays."
TDW (1-1 overall) was in Bend Saturday. At 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Tribe hosts Forest Grove.

Kansas City Candlelight Rosary Procession and Fatima Pilgrimage on October 13, 2012 a Great Success!
The October 13th Candlelight Rosary Procession and Fatima Pilgrimage was a Great Success!
Thank you for making the October 13th Candlelight Rosary Procession and Fatima Pilgrimage a Great Success!
Over 1300 pilgrims joined Bishop Finn to mark the beginning of the Year of Faith for the Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph. It also celebrated the 95th anniversary of the sixth and final monthly apparition of the Virgin to three children in Fatima, Portugal.
The service, held indoors due to the rain, was covered by the Catholic Key, the newspaper of the Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph. It was a wonderful evening guided by Our Lady and the Holy Spirit.
In 1938, Father Peyton contracted a severe case of tuberculosis while studying as a seminarian at Holy Cross College in Washington, D.C. After the doctors failed to find a cure for him, he turned to the Blessed Mother and promised to spend his life promoting devotion to her if he were healed. Miraculously, he was cured and began to lead large Rosary Crusades for tens of thousands of people in various cities including New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. In 1985, Father Peyton's Rosary Rally in the Philippines drew more than two million people.

TALLINN, Jan 20, BNS - If the troop status agreement with Iraq is not signed, Estonia will increase its contribution to some other mission abroad, probably in Afghanistan, chairman of the parliamentary national defense committee Mati Raidma said on Tuesday.
A delegation from the Estonian Ministry of Defense is currently holding talks with the Iraqi government on the troop status accord that would make it possible for Estonian military to continue serving in Iraq now that the UN mandate has ended.
Defense Minister Jaak Aaviksoo said last week that the accord will be signed in the coming few weeks.
Raidma, MP from the ruling Reform Party, would not offer any guesses as to what the outcome of the negotiations would be, adding that the result will be announced after the talks have ended.
Arising from Estonia's international commitments the country must increase its input in some other mission should no new Estonian unit head to Iraq. That, of course, requires the parliament's mandate, he added.
"The Ministry of Defense, the government and the General Staff will start dealing with this," Raidma said.
Estonia has taken a commitment to keep 250 defense forces personnel on foreign missions.
While a mission in Africa is a possibility, in greatest probability it will be Afghanistan, he said. In such case the parliament must change the mandate concerning Afghanistan.
There are 140 Estonian personnel deployed in Afghanistan now.
The parliament last year extended the Afghanistan mission of the Estonian defense forces until Dec. 31, 2009 and increased the contingent's maximum size from 150 to 170 personnel. Estonia is about to send a team of air intercept controllers and a team specializing in the fight against improvised explosive devices to Afghanistan.
The previous Estonian infantry unit, the 34-strong ESTPLA-17, returned from Iraq shortly before Christmas. ESTPLA-18 is manned and ready for deployment, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations on the accord setting out the legal status of the Estonian troops.

Onto 2013: Grid Line-up
I admit this season's been a big surprise for everyone. But nothing is more exciting than the last leg of the season where teams announce their next season driver line up (if they're going to be there, ofcourse.)
And after discussions for long hours the teams announced their 'big decisions'. Finally we've come to a point where we can name which driver is going to be in which team for 2013.. well not ALL the drivers have been confirmed, but who have been are these:
1) Infiniti RedBull Racing - Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber
2) Scuderia Ferrari - Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa
3) Vodafone McLaren Mercedes- Jenson Button and Sergio Perez
4) Lotus renault - Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean
5) Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg
6) Sauber Ferrari - Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg
7) Force India Mercedes - Paul DiResta and (2nd driver to be confirmed)
8) Williams renault - Pastor Maldonado and Valtteri Bottas
9) Scuderia Toro Rosso - Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne
10) Caterham cosworth - Charles Pic and (2nd driver to be confirmed)
11) Marussia F1 - Timo Glock and Max Chilton
First and obvious- there are only 11 constructors for next season, because HRT couldn't find funding and hence couldn't pay next year's fee.
Kamui Kobayashi who podium finished in Japan in 2012, will be missing from the 2013 grid. Again, because he couldn't find a sponsor. Kobayashi raised a fund for his seat in F1, but all mid field teams had already confirmed their line up.
Bruno Senna lost his seat to rookie Valtteri Bottas. But as a back up plan, he's carried out a DTM test with Mercedes. So he's likely to be in DTM for 2013.
Force India News: The 2 possible names to be slotted into that one driver's seat are Jules Bianchi and Adrian Sutil. Sutil, an ex Force India driver was given an 18 month suspension from F1 for causing grievous bodily harm to a Formula One team owner in a nightclub. And Jules Bianchi, finished 2nd in the GP2 series this year and is a part of the Ferrari Driver's academy. Young and fast.. what any team would want.
So its Young and Fast -vs- Experience.
Caterham News: After recruiting Charles Pic from Marussia, caterham is searching a worthy teammate for him. Possibilities are: Geido Van Der Garde or Hekki Kovalinen. Alexander Rossi too is there, but something tells me, he's not in the 'to recruit' list of Caterham's.

Investors in the Twitter ecosystem aren't being dissuaded by the microblogging network's recent moves to build or buy its own mobile apps.
Betaworks just led a $3 million second round in U.K.'s TweetDeck, a social media dashboard that helps user track status update activity across multiple networks. TweetDeck was one of the earliest companies to build third-party clients for reading tweets and it's the second-most popular way to tweet behind Twitter's own website, according to TwitStat. The new round should help the company keep or grow that lead. It comes on top of $2 million the company raised last fall.
It also shows that some investors are doubling down on Twitter-dependent startups despite the angst the company triggered last month when it bought popular Twitter iPhone app Tweetie. That move raised concern that Twitter would ultimately crowd out third-party developers.
The round comes as TweetDeck just launched a new version of the software that now supports updates from Foursquare and Google Buzz. Users can post to Google's social network directly without running into Twitter's character limits and add location data. Like with TweetDeck's Facebook functionality, users can also comment and like other friends' updates. The new client also lets users mute updates from specific users or that contain specific keywords they don't want to hear about.

"Good morning, my dear sweet friend.
I know you deal with the chronic pain each and every day and I know it wears your body down, but do not let it wear down your soul. And, I know it is easy for me to say all that since I don't deal with the amount of chronic pain you do [only my plantar fasciitis junk], but know that in my heart, I feel your pain. The pain of my friend wears heavy on my heart. I just wish there was something more I could do for you to help alleviate that pain.
Now, raise your chin to the sky and breath in a new day, a new beginning and a new attitude. Breath in the hope and faith of the day. Breath in the love and support that surrounds you, even when you don't realize it's there through the physical and mental pain. Chin up.
i don't ever want to forget. in fact, i plan on reading this again and again and again until i believe every last word and the pain doesn't make me question my self-worth regardless of how agressive this disease is within my body.
thank you sherry........i think you're pretty darn AMAZING yourself. :)

Operation Cousin Swap Complete and Half Birthday Party Girl
A grand success! They finished season four of 24, ate popcorn, Italian sodas, jumped on the trampoline, shopped at Aero, drove all over the place, explored Kaisha's favorite coffee shops and parks, and well, watched a lot of 24! We managed to thoroughly convince Amanda that their family NEEDS to get text messaging on their cell phones. And we celebrated Kaisha's half birthday. (No, we don't celebrate all of our half birthdays ... just Kaisha's because we hardly give her the time of day on her real birthday, Christmas Eve. Well, that's slightly overstated, but we've always done the real hurrah in June.) In the end, the verdict is unanimous ... Cousin Swapping is the best and Amanda is ... well, perfect.
Kaisha's birthday dinner ... French toast made with Texas toast, fresh strawberries and peaches, and lots of whip cream. Mmmmm.

Julia Jackson is one of the few women who've chosen to excel in a male dominated industry. For quite some time, the wine industry has been a preserve for the male. Contrary to this popular belief, Julia Jackson has sharpened her business acumen to become one of the few women making it big in a once male-dominated sector.
Julia Jackson is a descendant of the Jackson family, a family that is renowned for its contribution to the American Wine Industry. Julia together with her mother Barbara has had to face head-on the stereotypes that come with their choice of venturing into a male-dominated field.
Julia Jackson has succeeded in advancing her family business. Over the years, under Julia's stewardship, the Jackson Family Wines has given wine enthusiasts in the United States, a chance to savor some of the most quality wines. Barbara and Julia took over the leadership of the business; the enterprise has increased its production significantly.
Under the direction of Barbara, Jackson Family Wines has been able to produce brands that can compete effectively with Screaming Eagle, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. One of the reasons why Jackson Family Wines has been able to take over the Wine Industry lies in the innate understanding of the land on which the Jackson Family Vinery is located.
Julia Jackson draws a lot of business inspiration from her mother. Barbara's business acumen has enabled her to grow Jackson Family Wines into one of the most acclaimed brands in the US.
Julia holds the position of spokesperson for Jackson Family Wines. She is an alumnus of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Scripps College. In the year 2014, Julia began her career in philanthropy by founding Cambria Seeds of Empowerment. CSE is a charity that encourages and celebrates women who have excelled in various spheres of life regardless the adversities they face.

COSTA MESA — Kimberly Henry, the library clerk at Rea Elementary School, has had to make do for the last three years without a budget for updating her bookshelves.
That shouldn't be a problem anymore.
On Wednesday morning, the school in Costa Mesa received nearly $12,000 in books and monetary donations to replenish its library.
The Fashion Island Barnes & Noble branch gave the school 780 books the store has collected through new book donations from customers, along with a matching cash donation of $5,666 from City National Bank — nearly double the amount school officials had anticipated.
"Oh, my God, I almost cried," Henry said after receiving the larger-than-expected check. "I can do so much with that."
Students, school officials and other Newport-Mesa Unified School District representatives gathered on the blacktop for a special presentation of the donations.
The students sat cross-legged as the wind blew their hair about, and they clapped and cheered when the announcement was made.

I've heard it said several times before from Pastor Gerald Brooks, our Senior Pastor at Grace Outreach Center... When you walk into a room, do people think "YEAH, there's _______" or "Oh NO, there's _______"?
This all comes from our attitude! We have a choice everyday how we're going to behave and act toward others. It all starts with a simple smile and a positive attitude.
Some are going to get tired of hearing this, but... I'm not tired of sharing the positive attitude of my sister, Denise. She always seems to have a smile on her face. This is especially true when it comes to the subjects of her family and running. A huge reason that I took up running was because of that smile and positive attitude. An awesome by-product was the great weight loss and healthier lifestyle that I've experienced.
I'm honored that I've been able to touch others lives by sharing what I've been doing through changing my lifestyle to a healthier one. My daily prayer is to be used by God to touch others positively. This at times is a hard thing to live up to, but ultimately that's why I'm here... to glorify God through my actions.
I'm proud of Carl, and Ray & Nellie from my Sunday morning Life Group and Jeannine - one of my church customers in Scottsdale, AZ. They've all started the Couch to 5K program and are doing very well! If there's anyone else out there, please comment and let us know how you're doing.
I love what Carl said to me on Sunday... "I can just feel the pounds coming off" as he held his mid-section. Running will become easier as the weight comes off. Since I've lost 30+ pounds, I like to say that it's easier to run without having to carry 2 bowling balls with me.
Keep running! You can do this program! It was designed for me, you and others in mind!
Lastly, make sure to share your new healthy lifestyle with others. Be an inspiration!
