CONTEMPORARY craft artists have come up with a modern take on Berwick's historic Burrell Collection.
The five women have created new artworks – now on show in the market town's Granary Gallery – inspired by the famous treasure trove of paintings and artefacts built up by wealthy shipping magnate Sir William Burrell.
The philanthropist, who died in 1958, collected art from around the world and while most of it was later donated to his home city of Glasgow, Berwick – the closest town to his baronial residence at Hutton Castle – benefited from around 50 paintings, among them works by Degas, and 300 decorative items.
This Burrell Collection, featuring other masters such as Eugene Boudin and Jacob Maris as well as ancient Roman and Venetian glass, Japanese Imari pottery and Ming porcelain, is housed in Berwick Museum & Art Gallery where it makes up the most important art collection in public ownership in Northumberland.
With the help of the recently- established Berwick Visual Arts, the collection is to be exhibited at the Granary Gallery over the next three years, with the first themed display – focusing on The Hague School, 19th Century Glasgow painters and Berwick-inspired works – showing from now until December 16.
With so much on tap to celebrate, the idea was to expand the focus by inviting local artists to create contemporary responses to the beautiful pieces.
And the resulting five commissioned pieces, featuring print-making, jewellery, textiles and ceramics, can be viewed at the same time alongside the Burrell Collection exhibition.
The artists from across the region – Bridget Jones, Morag Eaton, Mandy Pattullo, Bronwen Deane and Helena Seget – each researched a number of works in the collection before picking one to interpret in her own way.
Their choices include a 17th Century painting, one from the 19th Century, Chinese blue and white Ming porcelain and a 15th Century woodcarving.
Print-maker Eaton, who's from Berwick itself, re-interpreted the medieval imagery of the latter – a wood-carving called St Barbara with Tower – by placing the saint in today's world, in the medieval tower on Berwick's walls to be exact.
Fellow print-makers Pattullo, who has a studio in Tyne Valley where she's also a textile artist interested in recycling, and Northumberland- based Jones, who also works in glass, produced, respectively, stitched drawings of flowers and birds, translated from the porcelain imagery; and a print inspired by a coral bracelet seen in 17th Century painting The Lady in Black. Deane was similarly impressed by the porcelain and, for her part, the Newcastle-based jewellery designer used traditional silver techniques alongside experimental acrylic print methods to capture different sections of the flora and fauna imagery.
Porcelain, meanwhile, is the stock-in-trade for Seget who is also based in the city where she uses it in her Ouseburn studio to make jewellery, furniture, clothing and even stationery.
This time she experimented with porcelain clay shapes to capture the look, flow and feel of cool, fresh linen as it appears in the painting Washing Day by Jacob Morris.
A series of limited edition multiples of these imaginative new pieces will be available to buy (priced from £60) during the exhibition's run at the Granary Gallery in Dewars Lane which opens Wednesday to Sunday, 11am-5pm. Admission is free.
James Lowther, head of Visual Art, said: "We couldn't be more pleased with the commission results."

Hi ally, I missed the UK winter. I enjoyed our stop in Auckland New Zealand I think that is where you live, it was great, visited the extinct volcano
Hi Ally, thanks for the heads up. I was on the phone when you called talking to another friend about being hacked...BJ also informed me. I changed my facebook password. I hope this is all I needed to do.
Ally, I tried to send an email to the address I had for you, but came back as undelivered. Can you email me private please, need to ask you a question. Hope all is well in your little corner of the world. - Terri at the Drake's Nest in Palm Bay, Florida
Morning Ally, yes I am delighted to be your friend.
Thanks Ally, I have tried looking online, with no luck, but will try again, thanks for your input.
Hi Ally....I will need your new address.....I haven't started mine yet but have been looking for inspiration! Thanks
Just forwarded the message I sent to your old page yesterday. It still shows as being here when i click on your sunflower icon. Crazy electronics.
I'm of the understanding that changing server is the intake connection but if your photos were saved on computer in special folder, it is my belief that it shouldn't affect your files. In this incident I would 1st look into Word program, control settings, check out if any folders remain and see if you can retrieve.
What you are indicating the change in server had you loose all your programs and had to hire someone to re-install all programs. You were looking at an empty screen? If not then programs are saved.. I'd ask a computer company what they think about your photos. I'm firm believer you can retrieve some.
If can't figure out stop at a camera photoshop on your way to errunds even Wal-Mart, London drugs ask them to help you they are very uptodate on such things.
If you have a teenager that sits next to you in a public coffee venue don't hesitate to ask them, you pay school taxes for them to learn.. lol
Donalma, My guess if anything like my digital camera or cell phone which are outdated techn now.. You might need a cord that plugs into your ipod and other end to your laptop.. A message will come on your computer, import.
Another system is you send as email onto laptop then use that as attachment. Photos usually, get stored in library under files.. Every equipment may vary.
My question is where you store photos on your Ipod? ie Facebook, photobucket?

So right now I am very excited that Charolette Ronson has designed a line for JC Penney called I [Heart] Ronson. What's great about the new line is that it is for the 20 to 35-year-old woman, and is priced at JC Penney's tier, ranging from $15 for layering T-shirts and tanks to $26 to $44 for blouses, sweaters and jeans to $40 to $65 for dresses and jackets. This is great because these prices are a bit cheaper than Charlotte Ronson's other contemporary line C.Ronson which wholesales from $70 to $130.
See the collection on Iheart Ronson for jcpenney or on charoletteronson.com

Impressive audio performance for the price, with respectable bass response and no distortion. Outputs audio in passive mode.
Mediocre noise cancellation. Runs on a AAA battery rather than a rechargeable cell.
Bottom Line
If you think of the Panasonic RP-HC200 as an affordable pair of headphones with good audio performance, the so-so noise cancellation can be viewed as an extra perk, not a downfall.
I'm often asked: "What's the best cheap pair of noise-canceling headphones?" And people tend to not like the answer: There isn't one. Sure, there are plenty of inexpensive models, but effective noise-cancellation circuitry is not cheap to make. Thus, if the pair is under, say, $150, you're likely getting low-quality noise cancellation, poor audio performance, or both. The Panasonic RP-HC200 ($79.99 list) falls well below that minimum price barrier, and unsurprisingly adheres to this trend—but that's not necessarily a knock. For $80, the headphones actually sound quite good, with an articulate, lively bass response. They can be used in passive mode, which saves battery life, and hey, the noise cancellation is not super-effective, but it'll cut out some hiss, so let's consider it an added bonus on an otherwise solid-sounding pair of well-priced headphones.
Similar Products
Decidedly retro-looking with rounded, rectangular cups, the RP-HC200 is offered in several different color schemes—ours was a 70's-esque pale green and dark gray. The circumaural (around-the-ear) design of the headphones only barely encloses your entire ear, but the padding on the cups and underside of the headband are quite comfortable.
Unfortunately, the RP-HC200 uses a single AAA battery rather than a rechargeable cell. The compartment for the battery, along with the Noise Cancellation On/Off switch, is located on the left earcup. Panasonic claims a battery life of roughly 60 hours, but this will also depend on your choice of battery. The RP-HC200 does ship with one AAA battery, as well as an airplane jack adapter and a drawstring protective bag.
The noise-reduction capabilities of the RP-HC200 are rather modest. With no music playing, you can switch the noise cancellation on in an environment with significant ambient noise, and it noticeably cuts out a bit of the whir of an AC unit or drone of a train. It is not in the same league as more effective noise cancellation pairs, however, like the AKG K 490 NC . The RP-HC200 is effective to a certain degree, but it's not going to make you thank your lucky stars you didn't spend more money on the Bose QuietComfort 15 every time you switch it on. Let's set this fact aside for a moment, however, and examine the RP-HC200 as a standard pair of headphones.
Anytime an $80 pair of headphones offers a quality audio experience, I am pleasantly surprised. In this price range, you tend to get distortion at high volumes, especially when deep bass is involved, but the RP-HC200 delivers nearly pristine audio at maximum volume. Part of the reason for this is that they don't get quite as loud as most other headphones do, regardless of whether they're in passive or active modes. The fact that you can even you use them in passive mode is a bonus—some Bose models don't offer you this convenience. The difference in audio performance between the two modes is barely noticeable. At $80, if noise cancellation is part of the equation, something's got to give—there's just not sufficient budget for both quality noise cancellation and quality audio in this price range.
So, Panasonic seems to have focused on the audio performance, which is worth the price alone. Deep bass tracks like the Knife's "Silent Shout" are delivered with rich, articulate low-end and crisp highs. No one will mistake the RP-HC200 for a high fidelity masterpiece, but listeners who enjoy robust bass response will not be disappointed. It's not on par with a pair of Monster Beats by Dr. Dre , but that pair takes bass response to an extreme that not everyone will enjoy. The RP-HC200's budget approach is to provide a solid bass floor for the rest of the mix to sit upon without getting things too muddy.
On rock, hip hop, and electronic music, it strikes a nice balance between the low-end and higher frequency content like vocals and percussion. On instrumental tracks, like John Adams' classical piece, "The Chairman Dances," the bass presence is much more subtle, but still lends a nice bit of deeper resonance to the lower register strings.
If there is one complaint to be made, perhaps the highs are a bit too bright at times—things never sound tinny thanks to the quality reproduction of the lows and mids, but some times horns or higher stringed instruments can sound a tad harsh. This, however, is fairly typical in this price range.
So, regardless of how they're marketed, what we have in the Panasonic RP-HC200 is a solid pair of headphones for the price. That they happen to have noise cancellation can be considered a bonus, but if noise cancellation is a priority, the aforementioned AKG K 490 NC and Bose QuietComfort 15 are your best bets. Able Planet's Clear Harmony NC1050 is also a great pair, but all of these are far more expensive than the RP-HC200. If you can spend a little more than $80, Phiaton PS 20 NC offers an upgrade in noise cancellation, but it's in-canal pair of earphones may not suit everyone. For the price, the RP-HC200 offers well-above average sonic performance and passable noise cancellation. If $80 is your budget, you can buy this pair knowing that it's a standout in its lower-priced class, just don't expect fireworks.

Vegan and Gluten Free Spanakopita
The other night, I was invited to one of my friend's home for dinner. Later, my friend called to tell me that one of her guests is vegan and allergic to gluten. My friend then asked if I would able to make a vegan main dish that both my vegetarian husband and her friend would enjoy for dinner. My husband adores spanakopita, and I just so happened to have made a new batch of vegan feta cheese. So, I thought "why not vegan and gluten free spanakopita?" I started by making the vegan feta cheese.Second I made the spinach stuffing.Then I made the gluten free pita dough.
Vegan and Gluten Free Spanakopita
Recipe Type: Main Dishes
Cuisine: Greek
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
Easy, healthy, vegan and gluten free spanakopita.
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 pounds fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cups crumbled vegan feta cheese
- 4 4-inch balls gluten free pita dough
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
- zest of one lemon
- To make the stuffing: Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in deep pan. Add the onion and cook over low heat until the onion are slightly caramelized. Add the spinach, stir and cook until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and place in a colander to drain any liquid.
- Add the crumbled feta, black pepper and lemon zest to the cooked spinach and mix gently. Spoon the spinach feta mixture into baking dish.
- Place wax paper on flat surface, grease with little olive oil. Flatten the dough gently. Take another wax paper or plastic sheet, grease and place the greased side on top of the dough and flatten into 1/8-inch thick dough.
- Gently peel the plastic sheet from the gluten free dough. You can try to flip the dough upside down on top of the spinach or cut the dough into squares and transfer one piece at time to the top of the spinach. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and pat gently. Cut the dough into diamond or square shape.
- Bake in 395 degree F. oven for 20 minutes or crust slightly golden. Remover and serve.

While doing some exhaustive research so as to be of service to the informed readers of this publication, it was quite amazing to see how little has been written, spoken and sung about South African Merlot wine. There are reams of missives on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and little-known, trendy bottles made from weird grapes like Verdelho and Palomino, but the Merlot voices are largely silent.

Easy Side of the Heartbreak Grape
Pinot Noir deserves the reverence it commands, for at its best it is an indescribably beautiful wine. More has been worded about this variety's elegance, charm, grace and seductive character than there has been about the Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy and the Spanish Inquisition – combined.
Death with Sheep and Chardonnay
When my hero died, I hit the freezer seeking a bag of dead sheep stomach. Jim Harrison, the last of the great red-blooded male American writers, passed over Easter. And with Jim having been a bit of a gourmand, I decided to make a big pot of something meaty, hearty and comforting, something the great man would have approved of. Remember, this is the guy who once wrote: "Men were not born to eat small portions."
Dry Encounter of the Thirst Kind
In a lingo filled with guttural sounding words to the tune of "achtung", "mein Gott" and "Schweinehund", the noun "Riesling" is one of the German language's more joyous components. I have always found Riesling to be a precise, pure sounding word evoking images of brisk forest streams full of clear water foaming over clean white pebbles, a pristine green mountain forest lying beneath glaciers and a blond German damsel, straight from her fortnightly shower, picking daffodils next to a Gothic cathedral.

The Third Party Marketers Association (3PM) has launched a State Compendium to help its members sift through the scads of rules, regulations and prohibitions that apply to them when working in various states.
The state compendium covers the marketing rules that third party marketers must follow when marketing to all public entities, including pension funds.
"The regulatory environment for third party marketers is changing and changing fast," Stacey Havener, 3PM's president, told AdvisorOne. The challenge, she says, is that "there is no cohesion" among states' regulations for third-party marketers.
As it stands now, the compendium covers California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin. Havener says 3PM the compendium is a collection of "field insights" gathered by third party marketer practitioners about what regulatory changes are taking place in each state. She expects the compendium to be updated on a quarterly basis.
The association held a webcast on June 28 titled "The State of the States: Insight into the current regulatory environment for 3PMs"—which is the first in a series to introduce the compendium to its members.
As 3PM explains, the compendium contains a matrix which indicates which states have total prohibitions on the use of 3PMs, as well as states that have enacted some restrictions or requirements, such as a ban on the use of contingency fees or the need for some type of disclosure. "We're getting pushback from the states" on third-party marketers' contingency fees, which is how they are compensated. "Some states have a ban on this type of compensation."
Each state also contains a detailed description of the rules pertaining to specific public pension plans, since each plan's regulations can vary even within the same state.
As Havener explains, third-party marketers can represent a specific investment product, or they can market to a specific channel—like retirement plans, brokers-dealers, and as she does, to registered investment advisors (RIAs).
3PM defines a third party marketer as an outsourced intermediary that provides investment managers with value added marketing and sales services. When it comes to traditional investment management, many fund managers outsource marketing either to complement an internal sales resource or to fulfill the complete marketing function.

Sure, I guess why, but you can configure your own (I'd not say internal) DNS server to resolve differently to different clients using "zones". Zones could be "internal" – for clients in your main facility, e.g. with IPs 10.0.0.0/22; "remote" – for factory location, e.g. with IPs 192.168.0.0/24 (sure, you have to have some tunneling in place, terminated on PIX), and "external" – for all others – though, from your scenario (redirecting "remote" to opendns servers) I'd guess you need just internal and external zones.

I presented the following talk at YALE UNION (YU) in Portland, Oregon on October 25, 2012 as part of an series of exhibitions and lectures addressing the printed works of Ian Hamilton Finlay (July 2012 – July 2013). The talk was co-presented with Reed College.
I want to begin with the idea of citation as a form of reading. Often we consider citation a purely textual undertaking. Yet, in the case of Finlay's work, I want to discuss citation as not only a textual concern, but also as an anti-hierarchical expression of imagination and enthusiasm. This notion includes, but is not contained by Finlay's enthusiasm for and imagination of place, history, and language, among many other concerns.
In my discussion, I hope to deploy a type of citational collage in order to move around and into one of Finlay's untitled works from 1999, which I will refer to as, "Flower Class Corvettes."
The writers that I will reference in this citational construction, include Guy Davenport, Herman Melville, Emily Dickenson and Susan Howe.
Starting first with Davenport, I want to begin with the opening remarks from his essay "The Geography of the Imagination":
The difference between the Parthenon and the World Trade Center, between a French wine glass and a German beer mug, between Bach and John Philip Sousa, between Sophocles and Shakespeare, between a bicycle and a horse, though explicable by historical moment, necessity, and destiny, is before all a difference of imagination…Language itself is a continuously imaginative act.
Much of Finlay's work investigates exactly this concept of the "difference of imagination."
Following this line of inquiry into the imaginative let us imagine that we are in Forest Park here in Portland, as Tim and I were earlier this week. Walking down the man-made paths one encounters an abundance of kinds of things—trees, leaves, stones, plants, mosses. Investigating even one of these natural objects opens up an entire world of inquiry. Let us consider just the forbs (herbaceous flowering plant) and ferns of Forest Park. Abundant distinctions can be made in size, shape and color of these forbs and ferns. Each appears unique and irreducible. No one definition contains the entire object. Yet, to make-sense of this diversity, each class of forb and fern has been given a name. In Forest Park specifically, we can see the sword fern, vanilla leaf, starflower (Trientalis borealis), wild ginger, western trillium, redwood sorrel, and maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum). This act of naming, even at its most scientific, is itself an imaginative act.
Let us consider one more image before returning to "Flower Class Corvettes." This is list of illustrations of species of mosses and lichens found in Olympic National Park.
This list and the list Finlay cites in "Flower Class Corvettes" share many formal characteristics common to the recognizable features of the list of illustrations. Yet, Finlay's list does not have an attached referent. The illustrations are absent, at a remove, distant. Finlay situates the reader in multiple imaginative locations—the place of the card, the place of the book by Preston and Raven, which Finlay is citing, and the place of these actual objects.
To approach these places, we might next ask what is a Borage, Aubretia, or Woodruff? With basic research we find that each of these names are classifications for both flowers and naval warships. These specific ships, known as Flower Class Corvettes, were used by the allied navies during World War II. The Royal Navy assigned each of these corvettes or warships a flower name.
With research, we might say of the Aubretia that:
The Aubretia is a genus of about 12 species of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. The genus is named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower-painter. It originates from southern Europe east to central Asia but is now a common garden escape throughout Europe.
In May, Aubretia carried out an operation, which would help to lead the German Navy down the "Primrose" (as the operation was rather aptly called) path to destruction.
Garden escape.
Primrose Path.
Flowers named after a painter of flowers.
These names for boats and flowers saturate or cross-pollinate one another, or perhaps as Emily Dickinson wrote, "A word is inundation, when it comes from the sea."
Finlay requires of his readers more then just simple definition. The reader must become in Melville's terms, the sub-sub librarian of Moby Dick. Describing his process of the articulation of the characteristics of the sperm whale, the narrator of Moby Dick writes, "I care not to perform this part my task methodically; but shall be content to produce the desired impression by separate citations of items…and from these citations, I take it—the conclusion aimed at will naturally follow of itself."
Finlay places the reader amongst a myriad of physical, historical, and temporal situations. We are on walk in Turkey alongside a limestone wall where purple, four-leafed Aubretia blossoms from the stone. We are also soldiers on the Aubretia in November 1942, deployed at Gibraltor for coastal patrol as part of Operation Torch, the allied invasion of French North Africa. At the same time we are readers, exploring the illustrations of Preston and Raven's Flower Class Corvettes, or perhaps we are students looking at this work by Finlay in the Reed Archives.
Through his citation of this list, Finlay illustrates a metaphor or a type of metamorphosis in which the flower becomes the naval ship, the naval ship a flower. Through this naming, Finlay acknowledges that we live in a world of suggestive nomenclature, where metaphors are often already structured into our way of describing the world. The world of the boat and the flower was Finlay's world. In a letter to poet Ian Stephen in 1994, Finlay wrote:
I sometimes think the things which are most important to me never get mentioned, far less discussed. Of course it is difficult to know what to say, or more difficult than writing about 'controversial' things. A lot of my work is to do with straight forward affection (liking, appreciation), and it always amazes me how little affection for ANYTHING there is in art these days.
Finlay's enthusiasm for the language and imagery of vessels and plant-life spanned more than a quarter of a century. Consider this early poem of Finlay's from 1965, titled Cythera, after the Greek Island, known in myth as the island of Aphrodite:
To further expose both the similarities and differences operating within Finlay's metaphor of flowers and boats, I want to provide a list of characteristics or concerns from which we can now in the moment or over time explore this metaphor. As Finlay writes in his "Interpolations in Hegel" from 1984, "Consecutive sentences are the beginning of the secular."
Of warships and flowers, let us think on the following:
The Natural
The Terrestrial
The Aquatic
What lives on water
Propagation and survival
Pistols and cannon blossoms
Just as Finlay's work displays an enthusiasm for topics as diverse as the military and plant life, his work concurrently demands a type of enthusiasm from the reader. As Susan Howe writes, "I am an enthusiast trying to be a critic." Let us consider enthusiasm as a type of study—an alternative type of scholarship. This is the method of the anarchist-scholar—to take up residence beside a work, to be alongside it, or as Howe describes, "not to explain the work, not to translate it, but to meet the work in writing."
Clarkia in October p. 23
A piquant and graceful little flower is the Clarkia, a friendly wayside flower of the spring and summer months. No other native bloom can claim so strange a combination of varying shades of red, pink and purple colors; in some instances these bright hues predominate even in the foliage and seed vessels, consequently, as one writer humorously expresses it, "suggests a blushing disposition."
I was taken out of my trawler and sent across the Atlantic to Bermuda to take over my third command—a corvette, H.M.S. Clarkia on loan to the USA. Clarkia was one of the first of the Flower Class corvettes to be launched and was, and still is, the oldest in commission.
Wayside flower of the spring.
Seed vessels.
A Blushing disposition.
Finlay's writings beget more writing and it is with imagination and enthusiasm that we meet him on his terms. Often reading Finlay's works require these initial steps of exploration and discovery, of situating oneself in the contexts he provides. Yet, as Howe says of Dickinson and Melville, "Their writing vaults the streams. They lead me in nomad spaces." Finlay's works are inter-dimensional, moving not only from text to text and from the textual to the spatial, but also from language into the realm of imagination.

function within the play is to act as a go-between for Romeo and Juliet, and is the only other character besides Friar Laurence to know of their wedding. The Nurse, despite being a servant in the Capulet household, has a role equivalent to that of Juliet's mother and regards Juliet as her own daughter. The Nurse's relationship with Juliet focuses attention on Juliet's age. In Juliet's first scene, the Nurse repeatedly asserts that Juliet has not yet had her 14th birthday. In contrast to Juliet's

How does Shakespeare present love between Romeo and Juliet at the start of the play? Love is an emotional expression that comes within two people. It is believed to be a sensation when that person who is right for you appears. In this play Shakespeare has presented love in a forbidden way. He has done this by presenting two characters that fall in love but their love cannot be for their families are enemies. The prologue of the play basically tells you what is going to happen. It is not only

death of Romeo and Juliet? Almost all of the events that occur throughout the play lead up to the final conclusion of the death of Romeo and Juliet. Many, if not all of the characters could be argued to play a role in their deaths, some more than others. Equally, some people may argue that it was no one's specific fault and therefore it was fate or society's fault. These are the aspects of the play that I am going to consider throughout this essay. In the opening sonnet in Romeo and Juliet, the chorus

my opinion I think that Mercutio is the reason of Romeo and Juliet dying. Mercutio was furious and was yelling at Tybalt and Tybalt ended up killing Mercutio because he was really mad at him. And mercutio is Romeos best friend and Romeo was really mad at tybalt for what happened which made Romeo go hulk and he murdered Tybalt which made him have to flee the city because he was going to be put in trial for murder thus him leaving the city. Juliet came up with a plan to fake her death and the friar

Romeo and Juliet What is the true meaning of love? After reading the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, I have gotten a closer look into what true love actually is and how powerful it can be. Romeo and Juliet is one of the most inspiring and touching stories in the English literature. Although it is portrayed as a romantic play, it contains many tragic events such as the death of both Romeo and Juliet. The real question is; who is to blame for this tragedy? The sole character that was

2015 Period 5 English 11 Are Romeo and Juliet truly starcrossed lovers? In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet are not truly starcrossed lovers. I don't believe that they are because everything is based off of appearance. When they first meet all the comment on is how each other looks. They hardly knew each other and they kissed. We know that they didn't know each other because Juliet didn't know what his last name was or who he really was at all. Then Romeo went to her window to, again, look at her

I love swimming. I love cycling. I love running. I don't love training.
Over the last 10 years I've raced in 10k's, half marathons, marathons (Dublin, Edinburgh and Callanish), taken part in 24 hour challenges (Caledionian Challenge and 3 Peaks), bike races, triathlons and middle and long distance races (Challenge Henley, Challenge Weymouth, Ironman UK and Norseman). But for all the races I've entered there are many more I've failed to get to the start line. Or, worse, get to the finish line. But, I'm a trier, and everyone knows that God loves a trier.

As much as they love each other, actor-turned-producer, Hawick Lau revealed that he and girlfriend, mainland star, Yang Mi have yet to plan on getting married.
According to QQ website, the actor, who sat down for an interview recently, expressed, "Yang Mi and I just want to work on our relationship at the moment. I am happy that she is by my side, and be the woman who understands me apart from my family."
The actor enthused, "We are not just a couple. She is also like a friend with whom I can talk to and share things with."
However, the actor also shared that dating the top actress is also a pressure, as their relationship is under the spotlight and vulnerable to public scrutiny.
"When we announced our relationship, it was so that everybody would give us their blessings. But then again, although we always get photographed wherever we go now, it's at least better to be able to date openly rather than the need to think of ways to hide when we were seeing each other in secret."
Meanwhile, his sophomore work as a producer, "Heading North" is currently in production in Shanghai.
Admitting that the success of his producing debut, "Sheng Xia Wan Qing Tian" pressured him to make a better drama, Hawick expressed, "I didn't really think of the results for the first one. I never imagined that it would end up being so successful. Right now, I have to take the ratings into consideration to some extent."

When starting our journey towards achieving our goals, most of us will create our vision and pave out the path that will move us closer to reaching our goals. Despite that, the biggest obstacle that can stand in our way is the inaction that we can cause ourselves.
As the community grows, we need to look at why accountability is built into the fabric of London Real Academy as one of the drivers of performance.
If you look at the question I asked in the Private London Real Academy Facebook Group, you'll see a big number of Academy Members voting YES to stepping up and taking action towards their personal or business goals with a buddy:Think of your accountability buddy as someone to
- remind you of your commitments
- give you valuable feedback
- ensure you track your progress
- help you course-correct when necessary
This week's featured Academy Members and accountability partners, Tim van Zwieteren and William Peynsaert are doing just that!
With such diverse attributes, Tim and William show why having an accountability partner who is outside of your industry, can provide you with fresh insight.
If you want to find out how the process of accountability makes you become clear-minded, intentional and ready to take on your goals, then this member interview shares some of the responses they give about how accountability is contributing to their overall success.
Featured Members
Tim van Zwieteren and William Peynsaert
Tell us about yourself and what you do
Tim – "After high school I did a study where I had to work four days and go one day to school. I worked at the audit department of Deloitte. I got fooled by the money status and quit after 2.5 years. After traveling for a half year I started my Bachelors degree in Economics. I finished it, but I did not like it at all. Then, I did a moderately interesting Masters degree and at this moment I am writing up my thesis. Happily, the topic of my thesis is pretty interesting. Besides being a student I play the saxophone, I enjoy fitness & exercise, and I enjoy food, nutrition and cooking."
William – "I'm a therapist, based in Belgium. At the same time I'm also a playwright. I organise my own theatre events, together with other writers and actors. I also translate, mostly texts in Slavic languages, and I'm writing a PhD about the American Civil War. The common thread through all this, is my desire to educate people about psychology and how the human mind works, how we can be manipulated, how we can listen to our gut feeling, and so on. My career and my spare time are one and the same thing. I get paid to do what I love."
What are your main goals?
Tim – "After experiencing what I do NOT want, I now know what I do want. I want to be an entrepreneur, or at least work in a small company with a lot of personal freedom that is replacing a common object, with a more sustainable one. My whole life and especially the last couple of years, I see that there is a lot to improve in this world regarding sustainability. My mission is to make a contribution to this improvement."
William: "To stage three plays every year, and to one day own my own theatre, in the same building where I have my therapy practice. At the moment I rent a place where I have a theatre and my therapy practice, but it's not my building, and it doesn't look exactly the way I want it. And more as sort of hobby goals: I want to keep improving my Slavic languages and I want to do something more concerning the American Civil war, but I'm not sure what yet."
How did you become accountability partners?
Tim – "When William joined the Academy, he regularly posted on the Activity Feed about his day and how he wants to improve. I also noticed he was trying to cut carbs to lose weight. So, I sent him a message with some links to information about it. Afterwards, we started talking about our interests and goals, we found a connection and decided to be accountability partners."
How is accountability helping you reach your goals?
William – "Tim has really pointed out some things I sort of knew, but wasn't aware of clearly enough to change them. For example: Tim noticed I do a lot, but don't really accomplish anything really big, because I combine so many different things. Tim has encouraged me to limit myself to one thing, or to at least find one common ground in what I do. Since then, I have a bit more focus and a clearer direction. It's just not humanly possible to combine four different professions. Thanks to Tim I'm striving towards specializing in one major thing, and the one major thing seems to be: to work with, talk about, teach about, write about, and stage plays about psychology and the human experience."
How do you stay accountable?
Tim – "We fill in our daily checklist and email it to each other."
William – "Tim checks on me daily, and I always have his eyes on me, so to speak. I've internalized him! He's my inner critic/mentor. When I do something inconsistent with my goals, I have this reflex to think: ow, careful, I have to report this to Tim and he won't be happy about it!"
What are your top 3 tips for being a great accountability partner?
- "Be honest with each other."
- "Have a keen eye for what the other truly needs."
- "Discipline and the mentality of a drill sergeant (check each others progress and consistently ask the same questions if your partner is losing track with a goal.)"
William – "Along with a certain selflessness or maturity, because you can't be someone's accountability partner if their potential success scares you or makes you insecure. You have to have a passion for personal growth and you also have to realise you can't possibly have all the answers for the other, but you can help look for them. The best accountability partner is a 'comrade in arms'."
What are the steps to finding a great accountability partner in the Academy?
Tim – "Search through Members' Profiles and look at what they are struggling with. If you see something you have experienced and you feel you can help the other, send them a message. All the people in the Academy want to improve themselves."
William: "Make clear you are looking for one. And start being one yourself, pick someone you like, and cheer this person on. Chances are this person will like what you do and will return the favour."
Have YOU set your SMART GOALS yet? Do YOU have an accountability partner?

Following the news last week that the organisers of this year's Jim Clark Rally, in the Scottish Borders on 31st to 2nd June, had found a brand new Special Stage, comes news of more changes for next month's major international event.
"Generally competitors last year praised the route," said Clerk of the Course, George Hay, "but they felt the rally really didn't get started until the Saturday morning. That's because we ran only the two short town-centre tests through the streets of Duns on the Friday evening. Saturday featured 8 Stages and continued into Sunday with 5 more."
"This year we're doing things slightly differently," added Hay, "we're going to give them some serious meat with their hors d'ouvres on Friday night!"
This year the rally will again start from Duns town square on Friday evening with the traditional 1.2 mile Stage through the streets before heading out to the notorious 16 mile Abbey St Bathans test, followed by a run through the brand new test as announced last week. Then they do it all again. Another run through the streets, a high speed flight over Abbey, and finishing off with a blast along the new Stage as darkness falls for the later runners.
"That will get them ready for their supper on Friday night," said George Hay, "and they'll need their porridge in the morning, as a full day's rallying comprising 10 special stages will keep them on the go from dawn till dusk."
He's not kidding. According to rising international star, John MacCrone: "Abbey St Bathans is a proper stage. You've got to be committed because it's such a driver's stage." And this from a youngster who was reared on the fearsome tarmac special stages on the annual Mull Rally off the west coast of Scotland!
Another piece of news that will delight some, while causing despair to others, is the return of the 'Langton Splash'. "We're using the Langton Stage again twice on Saturday," revealed Hay, "the Stage is only 2 miles long, but halfway through, the cars have to cross a ford through the Langton Burn. If it has been raining, it might be deep. If the weather is dry, then the concrete surface of the ford will be damp, greasy and mossy – no easy ride either way!"
The Langton Stage is always a favourite with spectators and once again full commentary will be provided as the cars tackle the test.
With the conclusion of the British Rally Championship part of the event on Saturday evening, that means the Reivers Rally on Sunday will be run exclusively for competitors in the ARR Craib Scottish Rally Championship and the Blue Scottish Tarmack Championship, plus the regional SG Petch ANECCC Championship and Borders Rally Championships.
"The Reivers Rally features a full 8 stages during Sunday," said Reivers Rally Clerk of the Course, Colin Smith, "including two visits to the Langton splash – that is, if the British Championship crews have left any water in it! In fact this will be the first time in nearly ten years that the Langton test has been used on the Reivers Rally, so it will provide a novel experience for many of this year's competitors."
And if anyone thinks a water crossing is easy for rally drivers, the history of this event is littered with waterlogged cars that have ingested water as they splashed through the ford. Too slow and they lose time, too fast and the engine intakes suck in water. When that happens, the crews are lucky if they can fire their engines up again having dried the plugs, whereas the not so lucky can find themselves permanently sidelined with bent valves and a dead engine!
In other words, both the 2013 Jim Clark Rally and Reivers Rally are shaping up to go with a bang - and a splash!

Bringing a reptile into the home can be a rewarding experience. However, it's important to remember that these are living creatures and require the proper care. Before you begin searching for reptiles for sale, read the following information to ensure about things you should know before getting a reptile.
Buying the Reptile
It's important to purchase your reptile from a reputable seller. Make sure that the seller is experienced, has a store, and guarantees that they have been thoroughly checked to ensure that they are healthy.
It's often mistakenly believed that reptiles are easy pets. While some are easier, there are others that should be left to the more experienced owner. The following reptiles are great for beginners
- Eastern box turtle
- corn snake
- leopard geckos
Popular Doesn't Mean Easy
Just because a reptile is popular, doesn't mean that it's easy to care for and should be brought into your home. Take the iguana, for example. It's cute when it's small, but it can grow quite large. It has many requirements if you want to keep it healthy and happy. The iguana can also become aggressive as it reaches maturity. There are several other reptiles that become aggressive as they age, these reptiles need an experienced owner.
Learn Before You Buy
Certain reptiles will need heat lamps, and heated rocks. The iguana is an example of a reptile that has to be kept warm, many snakes also do. Be sure that you know that dietary requirements of your reptile, as well. Some eat living food, is this something that you are prepared to handle? If not, you may be looking at the wrong type of reptile. There is a lot to learn about reptiles, if you've gone to a reputable seller, they will be happy to answer your questions and pass along their knowledge.
They Make Great Pets
There are many reasons that reptiles are great pets, the following list gives you some of these reasons.
- They can be left at home alone while you're at work or school
- They don't need to be taken out for walks.
- No fur to vacuum up.
- They are a unique addition to the home
- Most stay in their tank until you want to take them out
- They won't chew up your things
- You don't have to potty train them
As long as you take the time to learn about a specific reptile's needs before choosing the right reptile for your home, you should have a wonderfully rewarding relationship with your new pet. Just remember that you should only get your pet from a supplier that you trust. A good supplier will want to make sure that the pet you get, is one that meets your skill level, when it comes to caring for it. They will never try to sell you a reptile that you're not ready for.

Greetings from the Pearl of Africa!
We have just completed our second day of our FFCM Bible Conference where nearly a dozen churches are gathered to lift their voices in praise and sit and learn as a disciple of Christ.
The format is simple: two main sessions followed by break out sessions where the men, women, and children separate to learn in their groups with of course much praise intermixed.
But before the breakout sessions there is another event… lunch! This is a wonderful time where everyone sits together and eats until they are satisfied.
The meals are prepared by volunteers in the small school behind the church building. The cooking techniques are simple with large pot for frying, another for boiling, and another for steaming. It is not easy to prepare lunch for hundreds of people and the volunteers begin the preparation even before the Bible Conference begins. Today's meal was provided by one of the churches in attendance as a generous gift. The menu included meat, beans, and steamed sweet potatoes all prepared with a heart of service in the open air.
The meals are brought into the church by the youth and given to everyone in their seats. No need to stand in line. And while waiting for their meal and while eating different churches will go up front and sing for praise to the Lord and for the enjoyment of everyone.
It is such a wonderful expression of worship to be a part of; a meal prepared and shared by the children of God in love.
For the Sake of His Name,
Nicolai Mærsk Pedersen
Pastor, Refuge Christian Fellowship

By Ah-Keisha McCants
"Diversity ensures that the next generation moves beyond the stereotypes, the assumptions, and superficial perceptions that students coming from less heterogeneous communities harbor, consciously or not, about people who do not look like them."
- Justice Sandra Sotomayor
On Tuesday, April 22, 2014, the Supreme Court upheld the state of Michigan's ban on Affirmative Action in college admissions. The 6-2 ruling struck a chord with those concerned about the state of race and the shaping of opportunity in the United States. Justice Sandra Sotomayor, in an unprecedented display of dismay over the social implications of such a ruling, released a 58-page response. In it, Sotomayor echoed group discussions we've been having lately at Duende: "The way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to speak openly and candidly on the subject of race…with eyes open to the unfortunate effects of centuries of racial discrimination."
As we approach the launch of Duende's inaugural issue (due out in October 2014), we've had to ask ourselves complicated questions about our vision. It was just one week ago that we began the spring semester at Goddard College, welcoming students new and old to the Plainfield, Vermont, campus for their required eight-day residency. During that time, Duende welcomed new editors, readers, and contributors to the family. One of our newest team members, Jeric Smith, shared a heartfelt statement about the importance of diversity in Duende's future. As a group, we addressed issues of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and class in an effort to define our purpose as a vehicle for social change and acceptance.
It has become evident that to live our mission of embodying "authenticity and soulfulness," we must broaden our view beyond the superficial. We must be specific, inviting not only a diverse range of art, but of artists to populate our pages.
We had to ask ourselves what it means to be a literary magazine that goes against the mainstream hegemony of literary magazines. For example, the VIDA count, in an effort to expose the disparities between women and men published in "prestigious literary venues," has begun, after four years of reporting, to show a decrease in gender bias in some literary publications. But as a recent Salon Magazine article noted, "We need a VIDA count for race as well as gender."
What will it look like to be inclusive of nontraditional narratives, or better yet, to challenge our own implicit biases? What better way to answer those questions than to revise our focus?
Duende seeks to create a space that welcomes eclectic voices, moving beyond the cursory and concealed mechanisms of publishing that keep so many writers of color, women, queer writers, and other underrepresented groups from being heard. It is essential that we create a space that opposes discriminatory traditions in publishing.
At Duende, we intend to continue the dialogue about how we can better support diversity in our journal, as well as at Goddard College. We welcome our contributors and readers to lend their voices to the conversation.
We are committed to publishing a majority of work by those marginalized in the literary world: LGBTQ, people of color, youth and elders, differently abled, and immigrants. These stories deserve a wider view. To paraphrase Langston Hughes: we, too, are America.
We cannot wish away inequality, but at Duende we will work to create a literary journal built on a vision of equality, one issue at a time.
