A month ago when all the Crown Royal Northern Harvest commotion began (or was it more of a frenzy? a furor? all of the above?) there was a spike in demand so large that could have completed many, many railways. And while the availability of Northern Harvest continues to be elusive as the LCBO continues to sell out, sometimes within minutes of opening, of its daily release of 500-1000 bottles, some of us lucky enough to have captured a bottle or two are be content with our good fortune.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote how, out of blind luck, I stumbled across a non-empty shelf of Northern Harvest at my local LCBO. There were precious few bottles remaining on the shelf and while the collector in me wanted to clean out the shelf, my better nature resisted and I bought two bottles. I left the remainder, hoping that some other fortunate souls might share in the joy of finding some Northern Harvest right where they least expect it. So I felt good about finding the whiskey, felt good about sharing the bounty, and happily went about my day.
Four weeks later, the good karma that I had unwittingly set in motion returned.
My wife and I are spending Christmas at her parent's place this year, and much, much to my surprise, I found this delightful bottle in a present from my mother and father in-law. They had been reading my blog and knew the value of this whiskey but had, unsurprisingly, had zero luck finding a bottle whenever they checked the LCBO's around where they live.
My mother in-law, inspired by how I had made a point of leaving something on the shelf for the next guy, became determined to find a bottle for me. Further inspired by how I had found my bottles by simply looking for bottles hiding in plain sight, she had a plan. She began to call each of the local stores to simply ask if they had any available. After a few stores replied with fatigued and understandable "no's", one store whose online inventory showed zero, said that yes, they were showing 80 bottles in stock yet the clerk she was speaking to was certain there was none on the shelves. Sensing opportunity, my mother in-law forged ahead, asking the clerk if they could please go back into the store room and physically check if the product was actually there.
A few minutes later she was rewarded with a "yes it's here, but we can't hold any for you". Indeed it was there, hiding in not-quite-so plain sight.
"So if we come down to the store you can pull a bottle for us?"
"Sure, I can do that."
No concern she thought, there was almost no chance that 80 bottles that weren't even on the shelf yet would sell during the twenty minutes it would take to drive to the store. Mother and father in-law were off to the store and a few days later, I found something wonderful under the tree for me on Christmas, along with a wonderful story to accompany it.
Thank you, Patricia and Dennis.
So what was under your tree this year?
Happy foraging!

The mornings are much quieter now especially once I am home from the morning dropping off frenzy. So Muffin gets me all to himself. A bit of a treat especially since last year, the mornings were basically Mommy telling him not to disturb his siblings as they learnt to spell, count, add and subtract.
So we get up to all sorts of things. I take him where ever I go. The market (where he loves looking at the frogs. I have no heart to tell him that they get killed for their legs!), the playground (where he insists on being a hybrid between Darth Vader and Superman) or we hang out at home and do puzzles or art, chat and read. I create things for him to play with and while he is busy at it, I have my breakfast and try to actually read the news; all very novel to me.
It's so easy when it is just him. The single child moments are few and far between. Having had the twins first, the later discovery of just having one child to look after was delicious and something we constantly try to do. But with 3 school going children, the individual pockets of time become almost as much a premium as sleeping in.
Until now.
Muffin isn't used to it. He asks for his siblings constantly. He's never been away from them for extended periods of time. He orders me to 'collect' them from school and he thunders down the corridor every afternoon to 'surprise' them in the afternoon.
For me, I'm enjoying the funny things we do together. This morning, as we read The Gruffalo's Child, in preparation for the theatre performance this evening, we added some 3D effects to the reading. Paint in a ziplock bag made for a great doodling surface and white paint made great snow. So we drew claw marks, paw prints, whiskers as we read.
Later this afternoon, it shall be time for Jordan and then Evan. Now to go out in search of hydrogen peroxide for Evan's surprise afternoon play! No, he isn't trying to make a bomb although I wouldn't put it past him.

The Essence of Using Software Escrow Services
When you talk about escrow it basically refers to an agreement which involves a third party who will hold the properties and assets in behalf of the transacting parties. The valuables could be in a form of intellectual property, documents or money. All the valuable items are protected by the agent until certain instructions are given by the two parties. A software is called an escrow if the source code is kept confidential by an escrow agent of the third party. The one capable for asking the agents to keep the software are the ones who will be using the software. Software escrow services are usually done by two parties which are both involved in a a software licensee transaction.
A programmer can only make a program if they have with them their source code. Source codes are important in the world of programming, if these codes are not protected then one can just obtain them and install the whole program in their respective device. Just by having a background about applications with executable source code will allow a person to devise their own program. For software developers it is a must for them to assure their clients that whatever things that may happen, they will have the access to the source code of your program, this is where an escrow agent comes in play, they will only disclose the codes if there is a breach of contract made by software developer.
It is already a known fact that some people nowadays take advantage of other people. Oftentimes, the transaction involve significant amount of money. Gone were the days wherein, buyers of different programs or applications are not safe from hoax and scam since they now have an escrow agreement which involves the source code of the applications sold by the developers. The price or rate of creating software is increasing these days and one way to keep you safe whenever you purchase software through the use of software escrow services.
This type of agreement is not just beneficial to clients but also to the makers of the software. Having your own software is not as easy as you think this will require a lot of time, money and effort on your part which is why entering in some kind of agreement is very essential. The software escrow agent will serve as the mediator of the licensee and the licensor not only they will mediate the transaction but also do all the necessary things for the agreement. If by any chance any of the two parties involve in the contract have performed any breach of contract then the escrow agent has the right take action as mandated by the agreement.

Front Cover
Capstick enjoys describing the dangers because he feels the
dangers create the enjoyment.
Find out what it's like to track herd after herd of Cape Buffalo
in the limited visibility of the heavy mopane scrub and terminalia
of the Chobe region of northern Botswana. When your chance finally
comes, you may have three seconds to mount your rifle, find
the kill zone, steady the crosshairs, and squeeze the trigger
And with the Cape Buffalo, one shot rarely does the Job, even
when well-placed. You will probably need to jack in a second
round and fire before your Buffalo reaches the herd.
Then the tracking begins. But your trackers are experienced
and they follow the tracks of the herd for several hundred yards
until they see a lone track veer off to the right. Get ready,
with one in the chamber and your magazine full and hope that
your trackers see that wounded Bull before he sees you. If all
goes well, you'll get a shot at him where he's standing in heavy
cover and he'll drop and give out a death bellow.
You'll see it happen .. . twice. Wilson gets an education from
Capstick and Cundill, and then, with his professional hunter,
Jeff Rann, succeeds on a beautiful trophy with huge bosses.
Next, Capstick, with professional hunter Robert Ramajaga, takes
a tough old bull after an all day tracking marathon.

"Back to School." The words veritably ooze with meaning. For some the words conjure up fun pictures of shopping, bright colored tools, making new friends and hanging out with old friends.
For others it means studying, adjusting to new teachers, and studying (did I say that already?).
Mostly it means finding and settling into a routine. A routine that includes:
- A place to study
- A place to keep supplies
- A stock pile of supplies appropriate to each child's age and needs
- Time periods for studying
- Morning processes for getting out of the house on time
- Processes for having the essentials when you leave the house
- How to get homework done in a timely manner
WAIT! "Getting homework done in a timely manner!"
I'm a parent, and I've spent time teaching in a high school classroom. So trust me when I say the most important tool for school this year is your student's academic planner IF they use one that actually helps them manage their time.
I was back in the classroom recently and was reminded just how most students limp through their year. Most are using assignment books.
Assignment books amount to a list of assignments listed on a due date. This list is usually referenced the night before the assignment is due, which is why teachers often hear reasons excuses about work not being done.
- "I didn't get my homework done last night (last night being the operative words) because I had play practice."
- "I couldn't finish my homework because I had to go shopping for my basketball shoes."
If only they had been able to see just how busy their week was going to be, the student could have planned another night (other than "last night") to do homework.
Take a look at this Academic Planner.
Physical features that are great:
- comes in two sizes: 8.5″ x 11″ and or 8.25″ x 8.5″
- card stock dividers
- two page layout
- choice of covers
Features that set this planner apart:
- Space for recording after school and evening responsibilities. If the student can see how all of their time is being utilized, they will be able to see what time is available for doing homework during the week, rather than just the night before.
You can't manage the time you cannot see!
- Record classes just once. For high school or college when your classes may change mid-year, you can purchase custom-fit labels to cover the old class schedule.
- Project planning sheets.
- Can be used alone or place in a three-ring binder.
- Complementary tools to use with the academic planner.
The planner is more expensive that your assignment book. But I think it pays for itself in teaching your student to manage his time. Less reminders from you is always a win.
But I can also offer you a one-time 20% discount on the planner. Use the code PLANNER20.
As a mom, former teacher, and especially as a department supervisor for a clothing company, I can tell you how important I think it is for people to know how to manage their time! It's vital!
Check it out and enjoy the discount. And happy 'Back to School" shopping!
Pretty Organizing on a Budget
We all hate it, but most of us live by a budget. Maybe, we don't hate the budget; we just hate it when there doesn't seem to be much allotted to organizing.
I mean, really, have you ever seen a line item on any budget that says "organizing." It almost makes me laugh to think about it. (As a professional organizer, I know that everyone from time to time needs something or somewhere organized, and the help of a professional is often a great option. But no one ever told me I was a budgeted item. Come to think of it maybe we should encourage such a thing.)
When there isn't a budget for organizing or buying products that aid in that pursuit, then organizing on a budget it is.
But just because you don't spend a lot doesn't mean it can't be beautiful!
A deep search on the topic will yield tips for storage containers like:
- "shop" for baskets and bins in your own home first
- use hacks for storage, i.e. cover cereal box bottoms with pretty paper, egg cartons, muffins tins
- shop at thrift stores and dollar stores
Ideas for shortcuts are everywhere for different areas of your home, but when you finish, somehow you think "this isn't as pretty as the pictures I see online. I guess that's what I get for trying to do this on a budget."
Here are a few ideas on how to be pretty on a budget:
- Use the same color containers or involve a color scheme that you love. Even if you have to cover boxes with paper, for heaven's sake cover them with paper; don't leave just the box. Make the papers coordinate or match, whatever you love. Even if you have to buy dollar store containers, buy the same color. The color coordination will add the value of being pleasing to the eye.
- Use items that you have stashed away because you "love them and don't want anything to happen to them." My experience with my own "valuables" tells me that I'll never enjoy them because there is always the possibility that "something will happen." Truthfully, I'm not hard on my possessions, and I'm guessing that you're not either. Get out those beloved pieces and re-purpose them for your organizing. It helps the budget, and you'll love "what you've done with the place."
- If you need to buy products, spend the little bit more to get buy the products that enhance the appearance of your space, even if it is a closet. I know that other people don't see inside your closet, but you do. And you matter. This is the space that you live in and work in. It matters what it looks like. It makes the work seem lighter if you love being there.
Organizing on a budget doesn't mean that you can't have a pretty spot. Take your time finding the right pieces in the right color scheme that are the right size and shape for the job. You'll enjoy space even more.
Three Reason to Protect Your Bedroom
We've all done it. Used our bedrooms as storage. Ugh! What were we thinking?!
Oh, it happened so innocently. Perhaps you got a box out of the attic to sort through seasonal clothing for the upcoming season. Then on a whim, you decided to have friends over for dinner. But there sat that box of clothing in the middle of the living room floor.
No problem; you can just set it in the bedroom for now.
But the weekend is over, and it's back to work, children's activities, grocery shopping, etc. You think to yourself, "There's always next weekend to tackle that box."
Next weekend came but there were kids's ballgames. So, it's okay that the box is in the way. You'd been working around it for a week now anyway. What's another week?
Then you teen's science fair project took up residence in your bedroom where the siblings wouldn't destroy it before the science fair next month. Next month?!
And then the stack of magazines you were scouring for new recipes showed up.
The stack of T-shirts for the quilt have been washed, but you're not quite ready to sew. So . . . yup, they're now lurking in your bedroom.
You not only get the picture; you've actually lived with the mess. Your bedroom often becomes home to a barrage of items that don't belong there in the first place.
Eventually, you decide you must sort through everything that is now at home in your bedroom.
Bedrooms are an easy target for clutter and extra storage space, but they shouldn't be!
Instead of talking you through the usual organizing steps, I want to talk you through WHY you should organize your bedroom. Understanding the sanctity of that space will go along way in motivating you to get it organized and keeping it organized.
Bedrooms are for sleeping and ultimately resting.
It's common information now that clutter adds mental weight. When our minds are heavy, rest is, at best, well . . . restless, and at worst, illusive. We simply cannot rest when we are buried in "stuff." The "stuff" veritably screams out to us to put it away, meaning we do not truly rest.
Bedrooms provide a haven.
Relaxing by its very nature implies a haven. Think spa. Need I say more? We all long for time and a space to feel like the cares of the world are far away. Bedrooms should provide just that.
Have you ever been to a spa or salon where the boxes of shampoo, nail polish, or incense are sitting in the waiting room? There's a reason that area and the massage rooms are clear of clutter.
Hotel rooms are a classic picture of why we like and need clutter free bedrooms. We all love the picture perfect place to relax. In fact, have you ever walked into your hotel room and just flopped on the bed with a deep sigh. Me too!
Your bedroom should be that space and evening should be that time to find your haven away from the cares of the world.
Bedrooms are often our only place of retreat.
There's a lot of activity going on in a home: meal prep in the kitchen, eating in the dining room, homework in the kids' bedrooms, TV watching in the family room. And sometimes the standards are all over the place: eating takes place in the kitchen or the family room and homework is done in the dining room. Nonetheless, home is a busy little place.
If we want to get away with a book, find a place to work on our planners/journals or just to think, we head to our bedrooms.
I know; I know. It won't be long till some little fist comes rapping at the bedroom door, and somebody wants you for some reason. But the fact that there was even a knock at the door, tells us that for some reason, it's understood that something quiet is going on in there, and he who enters needs to do it respectfully.
We all need to retreat away from the busyness of life from time to time. You want your bedroom to function that way for you or your spouse.
(We could deviate here and say the same applies to your guest bedroom. Do your guest find a retreat, a haven, a quiet resting place in the space you provide for them? Or do they feel like they are keeping you from your hobby?)
Organize as you will. But let me recommend some things to eliminate from your bedroom.
- Hobby paraphernalia – all of it! Even projects that you are presently working on. You don't do them in your sleep anyway.
- Stacks of magazines that you plan to read before going to sleep. It's doubtful you will.
- Removing a TV may be necessary if watching it makes you stay up later than you should.
- Electronic devices; unplug for a bit, for heaven's sake.
- Laundry – if it's clean, put it away; if it's dirty, put it in the hamper. Your bed nor the floor are storage facilities.
- Any kind of box of any kind of thing. If you need the items in the container, then they need a "home" where you can get to them. A box is not a "home." For anything.
- Clutter on your dresser top. What? You were able to make it to the dresser, but you couldn't get the drawer open to put that item away?
When it comes to organizing your bedroom, you can go about it in a variety of ways. In the end, if you truly value your bedroom, it will serve you well.

"I used 70 to 100 images for each picture. I wouldn't necessarily take the whole image, but fragments of images, and bring them together on the computer. I would try to choose something that really stands out in the photograph. Roland Barthes called it the punctum. What I quite like about the whole process is that these landmarks are photographed a million times a day, but you can create more than just a document — a feeling of stretched time. I try to capture the essence of the building — something that's been permanently imprinted in someone's mind, like a memory."

Sharing a rented home can work out really well. It makes things a lot cheaper, but can also bring its own problems.
Once you sign a tenancy agreement, you will usually be expected to keep to the conditions of the agreement until it ends. It's important that you check a few things out before you sign and don't let yourself be rushed into anything.
Buying your own home is a huge financial commitment. It's important that you do your research and fully understand your options before you commit to anything. If you can't afford to pay the full purchase cost of a property you might be able to part buy and part rent the property with the help of Co-ownership Housing Association.
Most landlords will ask for a security deposit from each tenant in a property. This money is used as insurance against any damage you may cause or rent you may owe at the end of the tenancy. Any deposit paid on or after 1 April 2013 has to be placed in a tenancy deposit protection scheme.
Almost everyone who lives in a property in Northern Ireland has to pay rates. Rates pay for services throughout Northern Ireland; like schools, hospitals and roads; and for services in your local area; like bin collection, parks and leisure centres. The amount you pay depends on the value of your property and which council area it is in. You can get help to pay your rates if you're on a low income or receiving certain benefits.
Once you've found somewhere you'd like to live and have agreed the terms with your landlord or agent you can start making plans to move in.
Estate agents and letting agents will often have their own complaints process. Many agents belong to a professional redress scheme which may be able to sort out problems if you're unhappy with the service you've been given by your agent.
All private tenants have some basic legal rights. Your other rights can depend on when your tenancy started and what your tenancy agreement says.
You may be entitled to compensation if you have to leave your home because the area its based in is scheduled to be redeveloped. Homeowners will be paid the current market value for their home and you might also be entitled to compensation for the disturbance. The Housing Executive should rehouse you if you can no longer live in your home because it is in a redevelopment area.

August wouldn't be the same without a relocation to Edinburgh for all things Festival related. We are pleased to be returning again for 2018 and offering a full range of services for all your image needs.
Check out what we have on offer and then send us a message to get booked in. We look forward to seeing you all there for what we are sure will be another fantastic year.
Years at the fringe have taught us that great photos go a long way in helping you getting press and selling your show to the public. At this point you have your publicity images nailed but now you need great production shots to show what you have going on behind the poster. Thats where we come in. With over 8 years experience shooting at the fringe and having shot in pretty much all the venues you can think of from big to small we have you covered. We have photographed and filmed everything from theatre, dance, circus to cabaret, live art and more. We are there during tech with limited slots but can also shoot during previews and once the show is up and running, not to mention the odd 5 minutes between get ins. There isn't anything we haven't done.
Another thing to bear in mind is Video content. Its great you have your show in Edinburgh but don't forget to document it. We do full show recording with a range of 1-3 camera options. Be it for archive or to cut a trailer (which we also offer*) or to have a high quality document to send to potential touring venues post fringe. Don't leave it to the last week and get it booked in early.

Pre-Service Prayer
Pre-Service prayer is about ministering to God. We gather together and cultivate an environment that is welcoming for God to come and dwell. Our part is to magnify His name in everything. As we learn to host Holy Spirit, He speaks to us and we pray out what He is revealing.
Meets in the prayer room on Sunday mornings from 9:00-9:45AM prior to service.
Finding Father's Heart
Finding Father's Heart is a place to practice receiving revelation from our Heavenly Father. Our only agenda is to sense, hear, see, smell, and feel what He is saying. We do this by resting in His presence and listening to music/ worship and recording what we sense, hear, see, smell, and feel. Then we share with one another what we have recorded and practice praying what He has said.
This meets on Wednesday nights in the Prayer room in the south hallway at 7PM at Powell Campus.
Platform Intercession
Platform Intercession is a team of intercessors that intercede on the platform for the worship team, the congregation, visitors, staff, and whatever else God reveals to us. Our desire is to enhance worship and God encounters for all. We do this by praying, declaring and releasing what God reveals. Ask anyone in pre-service prayer or Finding Father's Heart for more info!
Weekly Tuesday Intercession
This format is a "come and go" on Tuesday mornings in the prayer room from 8-9:30AM at Zion Powell to pray for the corporate vision of Zion and the things on God's heart for individuals, the region and the movement of the Spirit in the world today.

Cambodia fixing strategy to get BD rice order
The Cambodian apex rice industry body has been meeting this week to discuss ways of nailing down a potentially massive deal with Bangladesh, which earlier this month inked a memorandum of understanding to purchase 1.0 million tonnes of Cambodian rice over the next five years.
Bangladesh has been shopping around to fill its silos after devastating floods earlier this year reportedly wiped out a potential 700,000 tonnes of rice under cultivation, leading to a severe food shortage. Its government has reportedly discussed import deals with Thailand, Vietnam and India, but has yet to settle on a supplier.
The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) convened on Tuesday for a strategy session aimed at clinching Bangladesh's initial order of 250,000 tonnes of rice, according to a report by phnompenhpost.com.
The shipment calls for 200,000 tonnes of white rice and 50,000 tonnes of parboiled rice to be delivered in October.
CRF Vice President Hun Lak said the federation's board and members discussed whether Cambodia was capable of filling the large order, and if it could compete on price.
"According to our members, we have sufficient rice to supply Bangladesh, but we must first see what the terms and prices are," he said yesterday. "It's too early to make any conclusions on our [offer] price as we're waiting to see how prices fluctuate on the international market."
Lak said the CRF was working with state-owned rice exporter Green Trade to prepare the offer price as well as its terms, with Green Trade to take the lead on firming up a contract with Bangladesh.
Norng Veasna, director of sales and marketing at Nikoline Rice Mill, said local millers were ready to supply rice to Bangladesh but would need support - such as reduced electricity tariffs or logistics costs - to lower their price.

Marx Toys was established by Louis Marx in New York, USA, in 1919. Marx went into sharp decline in the 1960s as Mattel grew dominant. In 1967, the UK brand was sold to a London company, Dunbee-Combex-Marx (DCM); in 1972 Marx US was sold to Quaker Oats, who eventually sold to DCM in 1976. DCM also bought Mattel's UK business in 1973, under the Burbank Toys brand (see Space: 1999 toys) and Hornby in 1972. The company went bankrupt in 1980. Another toy under the Marx brand was a bagatelle.
Red plastic box (6 x 10 x 3.5 cm). Features: "retractable aerial" (6 cm long retractable wire), "ultrasonic space gun" (a rather lethal spring gun set in side of box) firing "laser bullets" (red plastic pellets), an "intergalactic horn" (makes a rasping noise), and "colour code celestial beam" with "multi colour light beam tuner" (a small light with a dial moving colour filters over it).
Uses 1 penlight battery.
Blister pack: 15 x 23 cm card with logo and good art of Eagle & Moon.
A megaphone. Requires 1 9-volt battery (not included). Two trigger action - voice amplifier/emergency siren. 7.5 inches x 5 inches (19cm x 13cm). Box shows an astronaut using it (spot the scientific flaw!).
USA Model No. VF-2003
AM wrist radio. Large white leather strap, with a square white plastic radio and black speaker on the face. On one side are three silver metal dials (frequency, volume and on and off). On opposite sides are "Space: 1999" stickers (yellow logo on red background).
The box lists these "Features"
The 1976 Vanity Fair catalogue showing the Megaphone and Wrist Radio (note the MASH wrist radio is identical apart from the logo stickers!). Another Vanity Fair catalogue shows the 007 and Flash Gordon wrist radios are also identical.
These "pencil tops" are small rubber ornaments put on the ends of pencils. Judging by the R2D2 robot, they are 1977 or later. The box art is an adaptation of the second (1976) UK annual cover art, featuring a rescue Eagle flying over a nuclear mushroom cloud. It was probably not licensed.
Give A Show was a simple projector, introduced in 1959 and continually reissued with different slides until the end of the 1970s. The slides were in stiff card strips of 7 different 35mm colour cartoon art. Projectors were generally sold with 16 card strips (so 112 slides), often a mix of different TV series.
The subject series were almost always TV cartoons, although there were a few live action shows and even movies, like Star Trek, Six Million Dollar Man and Star Wars.Space: 1999 was one of the 16 slides in a 1975 set. In the UK Chad Valley issued the toy (with Dr Who and several Gerry Anderson series as subjects), but the set with Space: 1999 did not get issued (probably because many of the cartoons were not shown in the UK).
This 1975 set had a picture of Land of the Lost on the cover, and included filmstrips of: Land of the Lost, Fat Albert, Hong Kong Phooey, Far Out Space-Nuts, Bugs Bunny, Josie and the Pussycats, Scooby Doo, Harlem Globetrotters, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, Great Grape Ape, Shazam, and Speed Buggy
The Space: 1999 story is named "Operation Asteroid" and has the serial number 686-048-12. The sixth frame shows the Moon with a big chunk missing, probably due to the artist reading misleading ITC publicity.

There are many ways to do the unusual, bright pictures. Photographer Sam Scholes visited the Midway Ice Castles in Utah and embodied fire and ice.
Sam Scholes uses long-exposures to capture the movement of fire in front of ice-covered backdrops. The result of this technique – captured at Midway Ice Castles in Utah is a vibrant image with the warm light dancing across the cold scenes. (Photo by Sam Scholes/Caters News).
1. In the United States there are several ice castles. One of them was built in Lincoln, the second – in Breckenridge (Colorado) and the third castle built in Midway (Utah). (Photo by Sam Scholes):
2. The idea belongs to Brent Christensen, founder of Ice Castles. It all started a few years ago, when Christensen was building in his yard and needle mazes for kids. Gradually, the technology improved, and now everyone can visit this ice castle. (Photo by Sam Scholes):
3. Unusual ice castles is not only the complexity of the design to the halls and passages, but also that their thickness continued to grow throughout the winter season. Only in March, with the onset of heat, structures begin to melt. (Photo by Sam Scholes):
4. But back to the fire and ice. Freezelight – it's an amazing art "frozen light." Freezelight also called the painting of light, of photography, etc., but all these names in common – drawing with light. Freezelight done with just a few basic tools: camera, light source and the author's imagination. (Photo by Sam Scholes):
5. Solidified light shutter speed is fixed at typically 10 to 30 seconds. (Photo by Sam Scholes):
6. And these pictures do with steel wool. It works as follows: take steel wool, wrapped around an iron base and ignited. The whole thing is unwound from a rope and take snapshots at slow shutter speeds. (Photo by Sam Scholes):

RESONATORS | Derringers Music | Adelaide Australia
Derringers Music has a great range of Resonator Guitars. n 1927, Dopyera and Beauchamp formed the National String Instrument Corporation to manufacture resonator guitars under the brand name "National". The first models were metal-bodied and featured three conical aluminium resonators joined by a T-shaped aluminium bar that supported the bridge—a system called the tricone.
There are three main resonator designs:
- The tricone, with three metal cones, designed by the first National company
- The single-cone "biscuit" design of other National instruments
- The single inverted-cone design (also known as a spider bridge) of Dobro brand instruments and instruments that copy the Dobro design
Many variations of all these styles and designs have been produced under many brand names. The body of a resonator guitar may be made of wood, metal, or occasionally other materials. Typically there are two main sound holes, positioned on either side of the fingerboard extension. In the case of single-cone models, the sound holes are either both circular or both f-shaped, and symmetrical. The older tricone design has irregularly shaped sound holes. Cutaway body styles may truncate or omit the lower f-hole.

We have a slow cooker or crock pot (I really don't know the difference) which we purchased because Jeff wanted it and had memories of yummy dishes in one growing up. The slow cooker/crock pot collected dust for quite a while. Then we had Baby B (who I need to stop calling baby but I can't yet!) and I realized that I needed to learn to love the slow cooker/crock pot.
Seriously, the slow cooker/crock pot has made my life so much easier. I use it at least once a week and I love just throwing a bunch of things in the pot and a few hours later having a yummy meal.
Someone out there loves her slow cooker/crock pot much more, though. Meet Stephanie O'Dea who literally cooked in her slow cooker/crock pot every day for a year, blogging about it along the way. The result is a site chock full of recipes and "gee, I didn't realize you could make that in the slow cooker/crock pot" realizations. I have made a number of Stephanie's recipes and highly recommend the site. Check it out HERE.
What are your favorite slow cooker/crock pot recipes?
Does anyone know the difference between a slow cooker and a crock pot?
Thanks for reading Bright-Yellow!

Summer is approaching, meaning that it's time to lose a few pounds and get yourself into swimsuit shape! It may be possible for you to succeed on your own, but employing the proper diet, workout and supplement program can make a huge difference.
Plan sensible, healthy meals instead of relying on diet shakes and meal replacement bars. They are not very nutritious, and they will not leave you feeling satisfied. You'll be cranky and hungry right after, instead. Many of these foods are also have a great deal of sugar, causing a spike in blood sugar, leaving you unhappy.
Turn your phone time into workout time. Don't just sit there when you are chatting, get up and get walking. This can be a simple walk, just to get the blood flowing. Simply walk around where you are or do some cleaning and you will lose the weight.
If you like chips and want to continue eating them throughout your diet, consider the baked chips. They offer a 30 percent reduction in fat and calories and taste almost the same as traditional versions.
You should try to eat throughout the day in order to be healthier. It is vital to eat several small meals instead of 2-3 large meals as the day wears on. This helps your metabolism stay high the whole day.
Avoid falling for fad diets when trying to lose weight. Any eating plan that advise you to cut out entire food groups from your diet is unhealthy and should be avoided. The diet industry in infamous for all the fad diets that crop out of nowhere and burn out just as quickly. These diets do not last very long because even if they are effective for losing weight quickly, they are not beneficial to long-term health.
Your mindset must always stay positive, and you should strive to achieve small goals every week. Stay motivated, set smart goals, and follow the advice in this piece, and you will be on your way to reaching your goals. Next, all you have to do is work hard to keep your weight off.

By Nixxie
Approximately a year ago, I had one of those rare life-altering moments that literally pick you up, shake you and make you stop whatever you were doing and take stock of what Life is about. Those who know me will know that I am far from averse to existential musings of this nature. I am, you could say, a periodical stock-taker. This time, as the cliché goes, was different however.
I was at the Plissken 2012 Festival in Athens and I had just met Dead Skeletons' frontman Jon Saemundur (aka Nonni Dead). When I say "just met", what I actually mean is "spent 2 straight hours discussing matters of life and death, fear and how to overcome it". It was quite an experience, let me tell you (in fact you will soon be reading about this 'interview' quite soon in another article I will soon be publishing). In a sense, this experience, which I won't go into too much here, perfectly epitomized my overall feelings for what has become a very cool festival that takes place in Athens around this time of the year.
Plissken is one of those slightly under the radar festivals that you'll probably only really hear about if you are a true music aficionado (or if you happen to live in Athens). Still in its infancy, the festival is now in its third year. If I were asked to sum up what it is all about based on my previous two experiences in 2010 and 2012, I'd say it's an amusement park for music enthusiasts looking to discover something new, something relevant and certainly something different and far, far away from the mainstream.
Plisskën 2010 was where I first came face to face with the likes of These New Puritans, a band that I've liked for some time now, not to mention my favorites for that year, Handsome Furs (who have subsequently split up since, sadly, it must said, as they were a lot of fun).
Plisskën 2012 was even more fun, and not just because of my surreal experience with Nonni Dead. I also got to literally burden a significant proportion of singer Merril Nisker's (aka Peaches) body weight as she walked on the crowd. Yes, that's on the crowd. And of course the EDM stage kept it exciting with the likes of College and Drums of Death entertaining me the most. King Khan, the timeless Liquid, Alan Braxe and Junior Boys rounded off an extremely memorable event for me.
Which brings us finally to this year's event. The lineup for Plisskën 2013 is full of up-and-comers including some names that I have been very eager to see, such as the precocious talents of one 19-year-old Andy Marshall, who goes by the moniker King Krule.
There are more than 30 acts performing overall over the four days, and we will be bringing you in depth reports of the performances as they happen. So I won't spend any more time on the various names that will be appearing (for that, you can refer to the Official Plissken Website).
What is interesting to note about this festival is the dedication to sustainability and the environment. I've been speaking with one of the organizers, Theodora Karakassi, who informed me that Plisskën is "trying to become the 1st Green festival In Greece" When I asked what that meant exactly, I was told that the organizers have adopted "a full-on environmental policy going with collaborations for emmiting our carbon offset for example. It's a whole list that you apply and follow till u get the award together with other collaborations we've formed on sustainability, education and other areas".
The organizers, Plissken Lab, are also taking an active interest in prmoting music and especially festival management beyond this event. Karakassi informed me that:
"The Lab is also very interesting as it has set up workshops for 40 lucky winners on festival organising, marketing, design, setting up, environmental awareness and hands on experience during the set up. For example this year we also collaborated with a number of institutions on Intellectual property Issues together with some of the artists we are bringing."
So all in all this seems to have all of the right the feel-good, well thought-out, music-centric vibes that any great festival should be aspiring to. Stay tuned for on-the-day Live Reports from Plissken coming soon.
Until then, Rock on Athens!

Trashy tabloid newspapers regularly run absurd fictional stories they claim are real news about UFOs landing on the White House lawn, half-human, half bat hybrid creatures, kittens arrested for murder, as well as foolish stories claiming that the President is a Muslim or that he wasn't born in the United States. While serious political figures look for serious political issues, businessman and CELEBRITY APPRENTICE host, Donald Trump has unfortunately gained a little traction among a few gullible persons recently by seizing upon an absurd story run by THE GLOBE tabloid.
Yesterday, the White House once again had to make public the birth certificate of the President, because of Trump's continued efforts to promote The GLOBE story as though it was fact. Once again, the latest birth certificate release proved the same as it always had, that the future President was born in 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. But, this latest release of the birth certificate didn't prevent Trump from claiming that the birth certificate should have been released much earlier.
The fact of the matter is the birth certificate has always been pretty public in any Google search since at least 2008. Further, CBS news and other news sources have already proven that the HONOLULU STAR ran a live birth announcement based on the hospital's release of information to them two weeks after the birth, which is a common practice because of some babies dying shortly after birth. But, none of these facts prevented Trump from going on his misinformed media blitz and the media seemed to respond by always allowing him an opportunity to speak.
So the question is how can a man with as money as Donald Trump be so stupid as to believe some foolish tabloid newspaper story when a wealth of facts exist to down that story, and then get himself booked to a number of TV publicity appearances to pander his ignorance. Only for the sake of Trump being a celebrity himself can he seriously get himself signed to any TV appearance, even if what he wants to talk about is completely ignorant nonsense.
Serious politicians often have difficulty getting enough press attention for the good things they do or real news about serious issues that actually affect the community they serve. Trump proved just the opposite is true for him. A celebrity, even if he's half crazy, or very poorly informed, can easily get publicity, even for his own crazy and wholly misinformed opinions. Charlie Sheen also proved that recently as well.
If Donald Trump ever seriously had any real serious political ambitions, then he probably more than dashed them where his craziness should be pretty apparent to all but a few crazies out there who still believe that every word of THE GLOBE tabloid is Gospel. But, likely Trump never was very serious to begin with, but just another media sideshow, just like Charlie Sheen was the week before Trump started his crazed media blitz. The media and public just seem to love to laugh at a celebrity crackpot. And bad comb-over and all, Donald Trump is just the latest celebrity joke out there. He's managed to lose probably billions in business since the divorce from his wife Ivana, his adultery and other problems only further proving that he's a two-faced liar. Only the fact that he inherited a lot of money, although losing a lot of it himself, makes him wealthy and not selling insurance somewhere. Other than his inherited money, Trump is no role model at all. His true believer belief in THE GLOBE story is pretty fair evidence that Trump's not very bright as well.
The fact that the White House had to make public the birth record information once again is a sad commentary that a small percentage of the public is gullible enough to fall for foolish tabloid stories and not intelligent enough to distinguish that the stories in many tabloids are often works of fiction rather than genuine news such as a real news story run by the AP or another news agency. But, in a nation where as many 50% of Americans never graduate from high school in major cities, and a growing segment of the public lives on some form of public assistance because they lack the basic skills to be self-supporting, the U.S. is showing all signs of rapidly declining as a major leading nation in the world. Despite a growing wealth of Internet based information, many American's grasp of basic knowledge and skills with reading and math only continue to decline. For whatever reason, enough of the American public seems intellectually challenged enough to believe tabloid stories like the bat boy one or other tabloid fiction that it left a market for Donald Trump to speak for. And for about 15 minutes, Donald Trump was able to tap into that mentality for a little publicity for himself. Now, that 15 minutes is over.
Maybe the only real winner here is NBC. CELEBRITY APPRENTICE should be more popular than ever because Trump made a damn fool of himself, proving that no publicity, no matter how bad, is really bad publicity.

Margaret Atwood, a Canadian Booker Prize winner completed her dystopian novel titled 'The Handmaid's Tale' in 1985. This book has not been out of print since then, selling more than a million copies with multiple number of translations and editions. The idea behind this book does not lose its relevance and charm even in present era and it would remain so in the years to come. Writers try to communicate mostly to future generation ahead of time and a book becomes an epic if it doesn't lose importance in any era. Margaret Atwood is one such convincingly brilliant writer belonging to a rare genre and her book is undoubtedly a modern epic.
A distinction needs to be made between utopian and dystopian fiction. Both try to explore the nuances of social and political structures existing in a society. Utopian usually agrees with the author's ethos where as a dystopian world does not agree with what the author believes. George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave new world and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 are a few other dystopian novels worth mentioning. Margaret Atwood did her graduate work on dystopian literature in Harvard and developed a secret desire to write one such novel herself. This novel was inadequately and wrongly classified as a 'feminist dystopian novel' . In a feminist dystopia, power would be vested entirely in women. But the society in Gilead mentioned in this novel existed like a pyramid from bottom to top, with men being more powerful than women at every level.
Margaret Atwood wrote this novel at a time when there was a fear about declining fertility trend in the West due to liberal abortion rules and easy availability of contraceptives for women. Margaret Atwood delayed writing this book for three years after she got the idea because she felt it was too crazy. She wrote,"I would not include anything that human beings had not already done in some other place or time, or for which the technology did not already exist.The group-activated hangings, the tearing apart of human beings, the clothing specific to castes and classes, the forced childbearing and the appropriation of the results, the children stolen by regimes and placed for upbringing with high-ranking officials, the forbidding of literacy, the denial of property rights: all had precedents, and many were to be found not in other cultures and religions, but within western society, and within the "Christian" tradition, itself."
Atwood tries to examine the lives of women and men under a theocratic regime, like the one she proposed in Gilead. The story is about a Puritan regime which overthrows the ruling government in USA, near present day Maine and creates a new State of Gilead. The new regime holds on to principles of Old Testament, considering women as mere child bearers, a 'uterus on two legs' in Atwood's own words and prevents women from reading, holding property or doing a job. Atwood gives a description of the various categories of citizens of Gilead based on sex and power. The protagonist of the story, whose name is Offred, and whose real name is not revealed evidently anywhere in the text, but can be deduced to be 'June' from the mention of various other characters in the novel, tells the story in a back and forth narrative style. 'Offred' is a patronymic and has a possessive preposition; 'Of Fred' indicating the name of the man who possessed her. She is one of the Handmaids chosen by the new law for the purpose of procreation. Handmaids are owned by men from ruling class in a household . Handmaids assume the names of men who possess them and names change when they are transferred from one house to another; thus Offglen becomes Offred when transferred from Glen's house to Fred's house! This is undoubtedly a resemblance to present day, where a woman after marriage is expected to take up her husband's family name leaving behind her maiden name. Since Gileadeans were Puritans, Handmaids were used only for purpose of procreation, law warranting complete detachment of pleasure from that act. Gilead was a world where religion and state became one and the same. State ruled by religion does not consider men and women equal because every manmade religion inherently thrives on gender inequality.Substantial intelligence is unnecessary to understand that many of the countries in the world at present are already Gileads or Gileads in the making.
Unlike other dystopian novels, the book does not end with a pessimistic view. It ends with enough optimism where the author speculates that Offred could have escaped to a safer world. There is a 'future in a future' mentioned as historical notes in this book where a group of people in academics are discussing this book, indicating that future of humanity does not look so bleak inspite of its hunger for power and authority.

people who smoke
i've been told it's hard to quit because of the addictive drugs in it but why did you even start in the first place?
it looks really cool
i don't smoke, but it looks really cool
I'm one of thise lucky people that can take or leave cigarettes
I only smoke when I'm drunk
You just mean you've not smoked enough to get addicted, it's not like you're IMPERVIOUS TO NICOTINE.
i'm continually amazed how much you
can make yourself look like a twat on the internet without realising it
it looks really cool.
and the social aspect. in fact the only reason i stopped was because the mates i used to smoke with stayed in glasgow when i moved away
I did smoke for a few months like constantly
then i cut down dramatically and now i only do it when im with my two really good mates who both smoke (who incidentally haven't smoked in 24 hours as a new years resolution)...like galacticwotsit up there i can take it or leave it...never crave it really
I have no idea
Managed to keep down to when I'm drunk/with mates (which is pretty similar at the moment)
It makes me look cooler right?...right?
i smoke because it looks cool.
i only smoke when i'm working or on a night out though. never at home.
it's a good way of meeting people too. if you're in a smoking area outside a club asking for a light is always a good way to break the ice.
Well, I smoked loads of shisha without realising it had loads of yummy drugs in it.
Then I wanted some cigarettes so I buyed some and smoked them.
Then I realised I looked cool so I didn't stop.
I should clarify that I like smoking when i drink..
..because it enhances my drinking experience, not for any social reason.
what the fuck would that mean?
you like standing in the cold smokey bit of the pub/club outside for 10 minutes per hour
The "Looking Cool" comments are in jest, right?
Please, please tell me they're in jest.
not really, you do look fucking a when smoking, i mean all the bad gys in films do it.
Leader of the Free World
Looks pretty fucking cool to me.
but do you think you really look cool enough
to balance out the stink factor?
the smell is so fucking bad
The last guy I saw smoked like a chimney. Nastiest thing ever.
Well, I haven't been smoking long but it's already got me some poontang.
And generally makes social situations much more bearable, or escapable.
A fucktard like you could probably do with that kind of social aid.
Yeah mate can I bum a fag off you like?
Spent all my coins on bus fare.
Er.. ok
What's your problem?
I've smoked whilst drunk for years and I've never felt the need to do it sober, so you're wrong.
Nah, I like to drink to escape awkward social situations instead.
smoking is for losers
that's why
I used to smoke because I enjoyed it (sometimes)
and at other times it gave me something to do. I'm quite a fidgety person anyway, and sometimes can be a bit socially awlward, so it was quite nice for me to have something to do with my hands, or a reason to get up and move somewhere else in social situations. It does get you talking to people too.
Also, after a while you start to associate things like going down the pub, or admiring a beautiful view with smoking, and you find it very hard to believe they could ever be as satisfying without that cigarette in your hand. Turns out I was wrong about this, but it's quite a powerful feeling.
Smoking only looks cool on inherently cool people.
On shitbags and cuntrags it just makes them look even worse.
And most women too...
I guess as a teenage rebellion
and then I never stopped. I don't smoke that much though, unless I'm on a night out then I can start fiending for cigarettes.
^ this
is why smoking every now and again is good. It's better if you're not used to it because it has more of an affect on you.
'High' might be exaggerating it slightly
but it definitely gives me a headrush and enhances my drinking experience. As a general rule 2 pints and a couple of fags has more of an affect on my than say 5 pints and no fags.
because i'm stupid
now i'm addicted. i love it though.
Because I wanted to be addicted.
so I could write by brilliant screenplay.
I haven't smoked much since smashing my foot up
Largely because i've been at home and i don't feel the need to smoke when i'm at home. But as soon as i step out of the front door i smoke like a bastard.
I'm dreading walking to school tomorrow and not being able to have a fag on the way :(
smoking at school?
you scumbag!
They tried introducing a rule that means we can't smoke within a 1km radius of the school
But that's been difficult to enforce when the teachers still smoke in the carpark right at the front of the school.
How the hell would that work?
I have no idea
But for 2 weeks we trekked to the park at break and lunch time. Then realised that we could just carry on smoking on the rec like we used to.
at the school i worked at
the teachers had a place that only they could reach where they could sneak off to to smoke and the sixth formers were allowed out so they go out to a nearby park or into durham but all the dirty scumbag 14yr olds would huddle around the bag gate at home time desperately dragging on tabs they'd bummed from their older siblings - or those horrible charver 20somethings in cheap hatchbacks to cruise outside schoolgates trying to pick up jail bait

I finished my hat last night, I love the yarn and I think I am addicted to knitting hats. I think next time I will make up the pattern for me, instead of adjusting a different pattern. I will be wearing it to work today, pity I can't wear it AT work, have to wear a proper theatre hat. I will show it off to everyone though.
I think I will work on my WIP Wrestling next, then have a go at
my mittens on the weekend. I am going to try and magic loop them, I don't own any DPNs the right size, and wouldn't be able to use them anyway.

So this week, was the first week of uni, and consequently the first week of Film and TV 1. Not gonna lie, kind of excited about this one, as I generally am with anything that promises to delve into the more practical rather than being purely theoretical!
I really enjoyed this weeks lecture and how delved straight into the subject, no time for introductions! It got me even more excited about this semester, and I really learnt that I need to start thinking outside the box and looking at characters and story lines far away from me and my life. After all, REAL LIFE IS BORING!!!
The lecture also outlined how we would truly be getting straight into things, and would have to come up with an idea for a 5 minute short film by the following week!! What?
I mean, in the history of my life so far, any time I have needed to begin the creative process, I had at least a few weeks to procrastinate and second guess every idea that could possibly have entered my mind before deciding on an 'idea'. And this time finding out there was a little bit under a week to have an idea for a 5 minute short film about anything you could possibly imagine (providing it had one setting and no more than two characters) submitted, did freak me out!
This left so much less time for my usual idea developing process, and I don't know what it is about the words "it can be about whatever you want" that seems to hinder my brain from working!! The possibilities just seem oh so endless, ANYTHING; and I never want to look back and think you could have come up with anything in the whole world, anything at all, and that is what you came up with? And the idea process just seems oh so crucial, it is the beginning of it all, you don't want to start out completely off…
Anyway, enough rambling (for now anyway).
In this weeks tutorial we did look at different ways we each come up with ideas and even looked at how an idea can even start with one particularly interesting character and spring from there. We were asked to come up with a character, any character we liked, no constraints; and then once we were done we had to pair off with someone within the class and find a way to link our two characters together in the context of a short film. It was incredible and so interesting to see what people came up with and how they pieced characters together to create what would actually make some quite brilliant short films. This was definitely a great way to begin the idea developing process.
The readings this week in particular the one by Robin Plunkett offered some more insight into the 'getting an idea' process. It truly encapsulated how ideas can start from anywhere, whether it be a still photograph, a newspaper article, a location, a dream, a piece of music; the list is endless!
I bet after reading ALL that, I bet you are just absolutely dying to know what ideas I came up with after this whole new and enlightening insights into the idea development process, so here you go:
1- Amateur assassins, roommates and partners in crime: Blaze and Rob, come across a briefcase filled with one million dollars. Each wants the money all to themselves, and they begin attempts to action schemes to lead to other's demise!
Can't go wrong with assassins, right??
The second Idea I came up with was the following:
2- Samantha and Blake awaken in a strange, dark, unfamiliar house with no recollection of how they got there. A pool of blood, not yet fully dried stains the floor. What happened the night before? And why are the two locked in, unable to leave?
And that was the first week of Film and Tv 1! Should be a fun and certainly interesting semester that is for sure!!

Reading your pro and con editorials about putting the picture of a woman on the $10 or $20 bill on June 28 prompts me to offer my solution. Let's print half of them with the currently used picture of a man and the other half with a picture of a prominent woman from our history. Since women make up half the population, it seems only fair that they should get half the honor of being displayed on our money.
I think a dual-picture mode for our money, at least for the most common bills between $1 and $100, would go a long way to improve the status of women in our society.
