Oak Manor Apartments
2021 SE Oak Street, Portland, OR 97214
Oak Manor is a Garden Style property. That is true in every sense of the term. It is a garden style building, which means each apartment has its own exterior entrance. As a property built in 1947, this is unique; but for any apartment it is fabulous feature! Not only do you have a front door, you have a back door too. And what a garden each of these doors look onto! The courtyards feature a wealth of beautiful foliage and bright spots of color throughout the property. Fruit trees line one side and a cushion of flowers envelopes the other sides.
Oak Manor features generously appointed 1 bedroom apartments ranging from 627-741 sq. ft.. The original hardwood floors create a warm setting that span long living rooms, attached dining areas and into the bedrooms. Some apartments have the original tile counters in the bright kitchens with the original cabinetry. Baths have colorful tile, porcelain pedestal sinks and some feature built-in cabinetry. Generous closet space abounds in each apartment. And if that isn't enough storage space, ask about the additional storage available. Updated windows throughout the apartments keep you comfortable in the summer and warm in the cooler months. Each apartment also features new 95% efficiency gas furnaces.
This property is located the well established Buckman neighborhood in southeast Portland. It has the benefit of a classic residential neighborhood but is also very close to Laurelhurst Park and the Belmont Shopping District. With Stark Street just a few blocks away, it is a quick trip into downtown or head east to visit other renowned shopping areas. Oak Manor is a welcome new addition to the Bristol Equities portfolio and may be just what you are looking for.

One of the many promos for STTMP was a mail-in premium for punch-out cardboard ships from the movie. On a 4-way armature styled to look like spacedock in texture, we have five ships. The Enterprise hangs from the center, and the other four ships are the Klingon Bird of Prey wasted at tne film's opening, the Vulcan shuttle Spock arrived in, an Enterprise shuttlecraft, and a Work Bee used in the Enterprise's refit.
In another photo I'm making a silly Vulcan salute while standing next to an STTMP poster and the Enterprise model from the movie.
In the last photo I'm in front of a nifty mylar sTTMP poster in the lovely costume created by She Who Is My Wife. PS Was I ever that young?
Next time, some Con photos of Trek people that I cornered.

Diploma in Filmmaking
Diploma Programs
For almost 20 years, the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI), has been the leader in providing seminars, workshops and training courses for digital creatives, developers and photographers.

PCCI Diploma vs Degree Program »
PCCI Diploma Program vs Degree Program
PCCI Diploma programs are not equivalent to degree programs. These diploma programs are not TESDA or CHED accredited programs.
The differences between diploma programs and degree programs are:
1. The time it takes to complete the program. Degree programs, such as Bachelor of Arts / Science, typically take four years. PCCI diploma program takes less time to complete, less than a year.
2. The courses required to graduate. A degree program includes general education subjects such as English, Math, Philosophy, History, Biology. Courses in PCCI diploma program immediately focus on the subjects specific to the field of study; for example, photography or graphic arts.
3. The places of study. Degree programs are taken at universities and colleges. Diploma programs are awarded by technical schools or training centers.

I always ask the same question upon looking at these pictures. They're an inch away from the ground, how do they do that?
Look at the concentration on 65. His eyes are visible on the larger version. Great photo.
Ruby Woo,
It is physics,talent & designe ,,,,all in one !! That is why No.27 Ducati with Casey Stoner is in the front
Beautiful pic
and here's a question for JoJo Why do you always look at Ducati's…mate there are other bikes on the street too. Give them some space I am sure they have a lot of what you are looking for in Ducati!
The tires are made of chewing gum, a race version of the same gum brand you chew
Bu Yousef,
Thats the beauty of Losail Circuit…its the only circuit that host world championship races at night and the riders use clear visors on their helmets, but for some reason Stoner on the Ducati has a tinted one in that picture!!!
Oh and the amount of lights used to lit that circuit could lit a highway from Doha to Moscow
Eventhogh the race is at night the glare of the lights will still justify the use of tinted helmets.
If you don't know by now that NO other bike is like a Ducati,I can not explain it. My only problem is having the money to get one.
Click to Play Asteroids!!!
1-Move with arrow-keys.
2-Shoot with space.

I love green beans -- I even eat them raw, but I like cooked better. On page 28 of the cookbook is a recipe for tempura string beans that caught my eye. The batter is very simple and I've been wanting to try my hand at frying food. I'm currently collecting ideas and recipes for fried chicken to include in my first Gram's Cooking School mystery (IF FRIED CHICKEN COULD FLY) that will publish some time next year, but I have never fried anything. Considering the title of the book, that could be a problem.
It turned out to be pretty simple except that I need to learn how to better keep the oil at a consistent temperature.
The tempura beans were tasty, and I found that the thicker the batter, the better. I did wish, however, that I'd prepped and tried some other vegetables. Hey, the oil was ready; why not?
Another part of the recipe was a dipping sauce called Aioli. Never heard of it, but it's a mayo/mustard/garlic dip that is really yummy. The tempura beans and this dip would make perfect appetizers.
Aioli is part of a number of recipes in the book. I'll probably try in a few of those in the next week or so.
Want your own copy of the cookbook? Here's how to win:

"First Read" is a daily memo prepared by NBC News' political unit, for NBC News, analyzing the morning's political news. Please let us know what you think. Drop us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com. To bookmark First Read, click here.
First glance
With Congress scattered far and wide and the initiative his for the taking, President Bush will hold a news conference at 10:00 am today, his first since January 26. Sandwiched as it is between two big scheduled speeches on Iraq this week, it's possible that this news conference will be an effort to address matters of domestic rather than security policy, such as the strong US economy, a story the White House continues to have trouble telling, or the troubled Medicare prescription-drug benefit that congressional Democrats are targeting with town halls during the break.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
After the news conference, Bush will meet at the White House with newly elected President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia at 11:10 am, and with representatives of Iraq and Afghanistan non-governmental organizations in the Roosevelt Room at 1:55 pm. Vice President Cheney, meanwhile, travels to Scott AFB in downstate Illinois for a briefing by TRANSCOM (i.e., Transportation Command) Commander Gen. Norton Schwarz at 11:20 am ET, followed by a speech on Iraq and the war on terror at 12:35 pm ET. Per the Almanac of American Politics, Scott AFB is the largest employer in southern Illinois.
Its primary day in the state, so don't expect any of the GOP's candidates here to be joining Cheney at his event. (Democrats are noting with glee how Republican lawmakers and candidates are steering clear of Bush and Cheney these days.) There's a potentially competitive governor's race in the making: a handful of Republicans including state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, 2004 Senate candidate Jim Oberweis, and businessman Ron Gidwitz are squaring off for the opportunity to challenge Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), who faces two primary opponents of his own. Topinka is seen as the favorite in the GOP field, but her rivals have sought to tie her to former Gov. George Ryan (R), who awaits a verdict on corruption charges, potentially setting up Topinka for similar attacks from Democrats during the general election campaign. A handful of Republicans also are battling for the nomination to take on vulnerable Democratic Rep. Melissa Bean.
But the best-known candidate in the state is Maj. Tammy Duckworth, the badly injured Iraq war veteran and Democratic Establishment favorite who has become the most nationally recognized of the party's bench of Iraq war veteran House candidates. In her effort to replace retiring GOP Rep. Henry Hyde, Duckworth faces a primary against Christine Cegelis, who challenged Hyde in 2004 and lost, 44%-56%. Cegelis has tried to cast Duckworth as a candidate of national Democrats, not of Democratic voters in the district. This primary also has shaped up to be a test of whether war veteran candidates can offer voters a well-rounded choice, or whether voters see them as single-issue candidates who come up short on economic and other quality-of-life concerns.
Cheney stopped in Hyde's district a week ago Monday to raise money for Peter Roskam, the GOP candidate in the race. Despite the district's Republican tilt, this is expected to be one of the more competitive House races of the year. Polls in Illinois open at 7:00 am ET and close at 8:00 pm ET.
Also today, continuing Senate Democrats' week-long focus on security issues, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid tours part of the US-Mexico border with the head of the Las Vegas police department. The two are making themselves available for interviews at the San Ysidro (CA) border crossing at 5:15 pm ET.
Meanwhile, as part of the GOP's effort to keep the heat on Democrats over Sen. Russ Feingold's proposed censure of President Bush for authorizing the NSA domestic wiretapping program, a proposal from which many Democrats are trying to distance themselves, the Republican National Committee is launching a radio ad tomorrow that will air in Milwaukee and Madison, WI -- though the RNC won't say how big the buy is. The ad calls Feingold the "leader" of those Democrats who "are working against... efforts to secure our country." "Some Democrats are even calling for Bush's impeachment. Is this how Democrats plan to win the war on terror?" the ad asks. An RNC source notes to First Read that "some Democrats are looking to censure the President for an action the majority of the American people support."
Security politics
Bush gave his second of a series of three big speeches about the Iraq war yesterday, though much of the coverage focuses on his unscreened Q&A session afterward. USA Today: "Bush clearly enjoys the repartee. Adam Levine, a former Bush assistant press secretary, says the president is 'at his best' in a give-and-take. More important, this lets him bypass the media."
Knight-Ridder says that while it might be true that Bush "'was careful never to say that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack on America,'" Bush "did link Iraq to 9-11 in other ways... The tough questions - all delivered in polite and respectful terms - were striking because Bush typically appears before audiences dominated by screened Republican supporters."
"The White House is hoping to shift opinion on the war by emphasizing the progress it says has been overshadowed by images of violence," says the AP. "Mr. Bush tried a new tactic to boost sagging support for the war, relating to the audience a lengthy story about a campaign to rid the northern city of Tal Afar of terrorism against civilians... The detailed description of the campaign -- and the eventual success story -- was meant to underscore another point the White House is trying to make: evidence of progress is more difficult than daily bombings and deaths to capture in media sound bites."
The Washington Post examines Bush's assertions about the success of the US-Iraqi effort in Tal Afar. "If Americans knew about the success stories, the White House maintains, they would understand Bush's confidence of victory. Yet even the success stories seem to come with asterisks," a dynamic which "has taken its toll on Bush's credibility, Republican strategists say, making it hard for him to make people see what he sees in Iraq."
In a separate article, the Post notes, "Three years of upbeat White House assessments about Iraq that turned out to be premature, incomplete or plain wrong are complicating President Bush's efforts to restore public faith in the military operation and his presidency, according to pollsters and Republican lawmakers and strategists... The loss of trust, they said, is affecting Bush's presidency more broadly, as polls show his public support at a nadir."
Sen. Joe Biden, ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and potential presidential candidate, marked the Iraq war anniversary yesterday by saying the outcome "looks increasingly dismal" based on "dangerous incompetence" within the Bush Administration, NBC's Ken Strickland reports. Biden also argued that Iraq is in the midst of a "low-grade civil war" -- and that, if there is a full-blown civil war, the price of oil could rise to $100 per barrel because it would cause regional instability. And he repeated his call for Defense Secretary Rumsfeld to be fired, saying "imagine what it would do for US credibility" to see newspaper headlines reading "Rumsfeld fired."
The San Francisco Chronicle says Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) told California constituents yesterday that Bush should replace Defense Secretary Rumsfeld with new leaders who will begin to bring US troops home from Iraq. "Feinstein has criticized Rumsfeld's handling of the war in Iraq for more than a year, but Monday's speech was the first time she had called for him to be fired."
As Tammy Duckworth faces Democratic primary voters in Illinois, the Washington Post points out one potential obstacle for Duckworth and other Iraq war veterans running for the House this year: "While they are pitching themselves as tough on national security and reaping some of the benefits of growing antiwar sentiment, many are struggling to raise their profiles and prove they can talk about more than the war." Also: "election analysts note that most face experienced and well-financed Republicans in districts that have tilted toward the GOP, often for years."
And the Post's Milbank, covering Michael Chertoff on his one-year anniversary at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security and buzz that Chertoff might be on his way out, observes that his problem, "if anything, is he's a model technocrat in a position that sometimes demands a commanding leader."
More on the Bush/GOP agenda
Bush yesterday quietly signed the debt-ceiling increase into law, raising it from $8.184 trillion to $8.965 trillion.
"One of the first independent studies of the Medicare prescription benefit has concluded that many low-income California seniors now have access to a narrower range of drugs than when the state covered their medications, according to a report being released today... Medicare administrator Mark McClellan took issue with the report's conclusions..., saying that many of the medications that plans do not cover have generic equivalents that cost much less and are paid for by the plans... Although focused on the California experience, the report's findings could have national implications, as federal and state lawmakers grapple with ways to work out problems with the new benefit." – Los Angeles Times
"With politics pushing lawmakers in multiple directions over how to handle the millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, politicians and immigration advocates worry that Congress will deadlock the issue," reports the Boston Globe. If the Senate Judiciary Committee doesn't finish its work by Monday, Majority Leader "Frist's proposal punts the most contentious immigration issues -- what to do with those who are here, and how to account for their economic contribution. That would deeply disappoint Bush and others anxious to establish" a guest-worker program.
The Mexican government is reaching out to the US government, saying they want to help in the "design, management, supervision and evaluation" of a guest-worker plan. "In full-page ads in The New York Times, Washington Post and other newspapers, the Mexican government acknowledged a shared responsibility to address illegal immigration." – Dallas Morning News
As Gale Norton gets ready to hand the reins to Dirk Kempthorne, Bloomberg profiles the job of Interior Secretary as a role no one wants running an agency no one understands.
The New York Times looks at how GOP leaders, including Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman, spoke at yesterday's International Association of Fire Fighters gathering in an effort to reach out to the union. "The Teamsters, the service employees and other unions have begun cooperating with Republicans. But rarely have the Republicans made such strong overtures toward a union as they did on Monday toward the firefighters." That said, "Howard Dean, the Democratic chairman, received far more applause than any Republican speaker."
Disaster politics
Democrats on the House Education and Workforce Committee are in New Orleans today at Dillard University's temporary campus for a forum on school and education recovery post-Katrina. Home-state Reps. Bill Jefferson and Charlie Melancon are among those taking part in the 4:00 pm ET event.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune criticizes some of the city's mayoral candidates for trying to capitalize, on the stump and in campaign ads, on how they pitched in on Katrina recovery efforts. "The use of images from New Orleans' own hallowed Ground Zero for political advantage clearly rubs at least some people the wrong way. [Lt. Gov. Mitch] Landrieu, by many accounts, worked tirelessly to help storm victims, whether cameras were in sight or not. Yet when his campaign discovered the footage from a documentary filmmaker he encountered in the 9th Ward, it couldn't resist purchasing it and putting it in an ad... But if Landrieu comes across as calculating, neither [Mayor Ray] Nagin nor [Ron] Forman deserves a pass, as both are seeking points for basically sticking around and doing their jobs."
It's the economy...
Analysts who listened closely to Fed chair Ben Bernanke's speech to the Economic Club of New York yesterday concluded that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates, Bloomberg says. The next Fed meeting is March 27-28.
The Houston Chronicle notes that two different three-judge panels in Texas are considering appeals that could effectively end the money-laundering prosecution of GOP Rep. Tom DeLay. One panel is scheduled to hear oral arguments on Wednesday. But: "Several judges on the panels have possible conflicts" -- i.e., they've given money to Republicans or have been involved in GOP causes -- "that are reminiscent of the ones that got state District Judge Bob Perkins, a Democrat, and Administrative Judge B.B. Schraub, a Republican, removed from the case."
The midterms
Labor unions in California are trying to keep GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's fundraising drive front-and-center as a campaign issue, attacking his alleged ties to special interests after he ran in 2003 as being beholden to no one. – Los Angeles Times
The Chicago Tribune previews today's gubernatorial primaries in Illinois: "Voters go to the polls Tuesday to select a Republican nominee for governor while Democrats measure their support for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, all against the backdrop of a former governor whose fate is being deliberated by a federal jury… The shadow of [George] Ryan's lengthy trial has hung over the campaign for governor for months as each candidate has aggressively stressed his or her ethical posture."
An editorial in the Belleville News Democrat says that Cheney's speech today will "distract from what should be the main business of the day: local and statewide elections... While it's always an honor to have one of our nation's leaders visit the metro-east, doing so on Election Day is poor timing."
The Des Moines Register reports that Bush will visit Iowa in April to headline a fundraiser for gubernatorial hopeful Jim Nussle (R).
Cheney traveled to New Jersey yesterday to headline a fundraiser for Tom Kean Jr. (R), who will be challenging Sen. Bob Menendez (D) in the fall. "But there was one problem: Mr. Kean was a no-show. Actually, Mr. Kean did show up at the event… But he did not make it until 6:15, roughly 15 minutes after Mr. Cheney's motorcade had left. So what should have been a routine political story about a successful fund-raiser… became one in which Mr. Kean was asked repeatedly whether he had deliberately avoided being photographed with the vice president, who is deeply unpopular in New Jersey." – New York Times
Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman is in Ohio today for a series of fundraisers and other events.
And the New York Times reports that a coalition of conservative nonprofit groups, the Pennsylvania Pastors Network, is conducting training sessions to get pastors to turn out the vote for the November elections -- something that could test the IRS's promises to crack down on tax-exempt groups who support a candidate or political party. "The first training session… included a videotaped message from a single candidate, Senator Rick Santorum, the Pennsylvania Republican who faces a difficult re-election fight. 'I encourage you to let your voices be heard from the pulpit' on vital issues, Mr. Santorum said, urging the pastors to champion a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, according to a recording made by a person at the session."

With the climactic Avengers: Endgame behind him, actor Jeremy Renner has turned away from films and fighting Thanos to take on the world of music. This is far from a sudden direction for the actor,, of course, as he has displayed his vocal talents many times in the past few years, most recently when he collaborated with Sam Feldt for the song, "Heaven (Don't Have a Name)" last year.
In an interview with People Magazine, Renner explained that music has always been a huge part of his life, more so than acting. "Acting came into my brain around 20. Music has always been my first love as far as something other than my family." The actor, best known for roles such as Hawkeye in the MCU and William Brandt in the Mission Impossible franchise, released three original songs, "Main Attraction," "Nomad" and "Sign" as part of an ad campaign for Jeep. The songs are described by Renner as being a mix between the works of Imagine Dragons and Queen.
Renner talked to People about how his relationship with music developed as he grew up, beginning with one summer when at the age of 12, he created instruments out of cardboard, "I put on a show and I charged my sister a dollar and all her friends a dollar to come in and watch us play cardboard instruments. I think I made five bucks!"
The interview also revealed that Renner taught himself how to play piano, guitar and drums. The actor described what music means to him and how he attaches it to his family, as he often spends time in his home studio creating music. "[One thing that] makes [music] greater is that I get to stay here in my home and do it and get to be around the people I love."
He revealed that he had several songs written. When asked whether he planned to release a full album, Renner remained uncertain, but expressed an openness to the possibility. He remarked, "That's a future thing. I'm happy to share music now, which I wasn't before."

I have had many perfect days in Marrakech but this time around my last day was especially perfect and I thought I should share in case you need some inspiration on how to spend a great day in my favorite city.
My day started with a driver from the Royal Mansour taking me to La Mamounia, one of the best 5 star hotels in Marrakech where I spent the last night. That was a bit funny because the two are the two most luxurious hotels in town and basically archenemies. Well no, of course not, but I dare say they are each other's best competition. Over the course of the day, I recognized quite a few guests I had seen at Royal Mansour before, obviously, I wasn't the only one switching sides.
La Mamounia – the 5-star hotel in Marrakech
There is no shortcoming of great 5 star hotels in Marrakech but the Mamounia hotel is something special. It comes with a lot of history, something that I really love. It was the preferred hotel of Winston Churchill so much so that not even WW II could keep him away. It is also said to have inspired Hitchcock's The Birds as he allegedly got attacked by a flock of birds on his suite's balcony. Considering that I had birds flying in and out whenever I opened my door, I believe the story.
And of course, with Churchill came the rest of the political high society and after Hitchcock came the Stones, Yves Saint Laurent and many more. Marrakech has been hip and happening for a long time already.
My favorite, however, is the story that Pico Iyer shared during his travel talk at PURE. Back in the day, he'd come to Marrakech as a poor, struggling writer and would stay in a dingy hostel opposite the Mamounia just for proximity and to sneak in to use the pool. While the Instagrammers of this world made the inside pool the most famous of all the luxury hotels in Marrakech, I prefer the outside pool – you would definitely risk getting in trouble to have a few laps here or just admire the mermaid tiles.

The most Instagrammable places in Marrakech!
For me, it was definitely good enough to implement my newly found on-the-road fitness routine before I dug into the bottle of Ruinart the hotel had left for me in my room. Needless to say, I was a bit more excited about the latter, but the pool is can definitely hold up.
Champagne infused I made my way to Jemaa el Fna, an easy 10-minute stroll. Ignore the drivers approaching you even if they tell you they have already met you at the Mamounia. The first time this happened I almost fell for it and felt very bad for presumingly not remembering the guy. Only later did I realize that they, of course, know where you are coming from and will just count on the fact that you don't want to admit to a bad memory and be overly suspicious.
Jemaa el Fna is mesmerizing and overwhelming at once. I do love the energy and a fresh orange juice on the go. I hate the guys with their monkeys and the snake charmers (read here why), but I love the acrobats and musicians. And then there is the tooth fairy which I feel very ambivalent about.
This guy sits here day in and day out with a table in front of him full of dentures and teeth. It is creepy as hell. Usually, I am not a fan of paying to take someone's picture and get really shy in general when I approach someone to ask if they will allow me. But in this case, I know that's how he makes his money and I finally caved because I really really wanted a picture of a crazy tooth fairy-dentist. In case you wonder how to approach these guys – I paid him 20 dirhams and of course, he wanted more, arguing with me – best set a price before and I think you can get away with paying 10. Moroccans, what do you say?
From the square, I made my way through the souks to one of my favorite places in Marrakech: La Maison de la Photographie. Navigating the souks ain't easy but google maps can help – I recommend getting a 3G card for your phone (there are lots of shops who will cut you a sim card on Passage Prince Moulay Rachid close to the post office).
Once I knew I was headed in the right direction I actually really enjoyed my stroll: kittens and shopping and miraculously the vendors seemed mildly mannered – the best of all of Marrakech combined!
The Maison is one of the prettiest museums I have ever been to and I recommend even to those who don't usually like museums. They display works from the previous century of Moroccan life and it is absolutely mesmerizing. I also love their tiny shop where you can buy prints and postcards.
From here it isn't far to the Medersa Ben Youssef, an old Islamic college in the most beautiful setting or the Musee de Mouassine, a traditional Moroccan house that was renovated with traditional techniques showing a glimpse into city life of the 17th century. For a bit more contemporary sights head to Riad Yima where you can buy artwork from Hassan Hajjaj, the self-proclaimed Moroccan "Andy Wahloo" as well as clothing and home decor.
While I had all the best intentions of discovering something new, Le Jardin Secret, this time, I ended up at an old favorite: Nomad to souk up – yes, pun intended – the souks from above and eat an extra helping of amlou and verbena ice cream. Of course, I used the chance to stock up on harissa from downstairs Chabi Chic, orange blossom water from my favorite store on Place des Espices and argan oil from Terre d'Eveil around the corner. I promise you, you won't find better in Morocco!
From a good view to an even better view I went to meet my friend Issam on top of Cafe de France, a landmark at the Jemaa el Fna and THE place for a perfect sunset view. Good thing if you know a local who will score a prime spot for you to enjoy this without getting hit by multiple selfie sticks.

A Foodie's Guide to Marrakech, Morocco.
A word of warning advice: They don't serve alcohol here. I will be the first to admit that a beer would have bee a lovely addition, the spectacular panorama of the square, the Koutoubia mosque and yes, the mountains far in the back, doesn't need a pick me up.
Back at the Mamounia, it was almost dinner time, something that got me almost as excited as my champagne – a true sign of a good 5 star hotel in Marrakech. Le Marocain is deep within their gardens which you can also visit even if you are not staying here. The Mamounia hotel was built around its gardens which once belonged to Prince Mamoun and were known for their splendor. Dinner was also a splendid affair and I was as grateful for my giant macaron dessert as I was for the opportunity to walk it off amongst giant palm trees, cacti, and roses afterward. Also, this splendor entails that you are not wearing your slippers which are, albeit fancy, still slippers. Then again, you don't need to wear a ballgown either, dear girl in the bar, the prince is long gone!
Since I knew that my accommodation in Essaouira for the next week wouldn't be quite as grand, I took full advantage of my rooms for the rest of the evening. That included hugging all my pillows and spending ample time in my bathroom, size of most New York apartments. Cue tub selfie.
Needless to say, you would have a better time just enjoying a regular pre-bedtime soak but at least I managed to not flood the entire marble floor again.
I slept with my balcony doors wide open and so there may have been a bird or two in my room. Then again, I may have dreamed that appropriately inspired by Hitchcock. There was definitely orange blossom scent in my nose and the call to prayer woke me early. But that just how a perfect night & stay at the 5 star hotel in Marrakech is supposed to be.

You may have noticed a redesign in the blog lately, namely in terms of its logo:
While on a family vacation, I decided to vamp up the site, and that included a few minor design changes. That said, because of a combination of the new logo – which I've fallen in love with; I like it much better than the old one – and Indientry's third birthday, we now have stickers!
The stickers are 3″ x 3″ and can be ordered here. The $1.25 price tag is to cover the cost of production as well as a stamp so that I can mail them to you; Indientry is already 100% out-of-pocket for me because I am still a full-time student. If the cost is an issue for you for any reason, though, drop me an email and I'll help you out. Thank you all for being such avid supporters of Indientry!

Major General Hsieh Chia-kang (謝嘉康) of the Matsu Defense Command was questioned yesterday following allegations that he has been compromised by Chinese intelligence.
The Ministry of National Defense had received information claiming that Hsieh had been turned by Chinese intelligence operatives, the Kaohsiung branch of the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau said.
The ministry said it had received reports that a Taiwanese allegedly on China's payroll has been meeting with Hsieh to both acquire military secrets and to set up a spy ring.
The reports also allege that Hsieh, under the guise of traveling abroad, has been contacted by and treated to luxuries by Chinese intelligence operatives during the trips, the ministry said.
As a former commander of the Air Defense Missile Command, Hsieh is fully briefed on all of the nation's deployed missiles, including the Patriot III, the Tien Kung III and the Hsiung Feng 2E cruise missile.
If Hsieh has been compromised it could mean Beijing has obtained information about Taiwan's missiles, the bureau said.
The defense ministry cited the confidentiality of information in a case involving a judicial investigation and declined to comment.
The military's anti-espionage efforts must not be relaxed in any way, as threats to national security mount by the day, the ministry said, adding that it is calling on all serving personnel to be on heightened alert for suspected espionage.
Following the Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) incident in 2013, the Legislative Yuan amended the Code of Court Martial Procedure (軍事審判法) and removed certain crimes from the jurisdiction of martial courts and placed them under the ordinary court system.
Hung, an army corporal, collapsed from heatstroke after being forced to perform a series of strenuous exercises in a confinement facility on July 3, 2013, and died a day later in hospital, two days before he was due to be discharged after completing his year-long compulsory military service.

Costa Rica Safari
3 Days 2 Nights
Costa Rica Safari
Day 1
- You will feel the stress of the world melt away as you walk up towards the lodge the first time. For the next 3 days, everything you need will be found underneath the massive thatch roof of the "Rancho". We will show you around and take you to your tent. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore, unwind or get the kids to the water slide. A massage is also a lovely option. The birds will sings lullabies as the sun sets by about 6pm.
- Dinner is served at about 7PM (usually).
- The host will explain your activity options around the dinner table. After dinner there, you are welcome to choose a board game, skim through natural history books, or just enjoy the symphony provided by the frogs and insects. You can pick up on some of the fascinating tales of Rafiki's history, learn about other guests experiences, or catch up with your own family
Day 2
- The following morning, you will find coffee in the main lodge at 6:30am. Breakfast will be served shortly thereafter and will be served until about 10:00am. The free time before your tour provides a great opportunity to go for a self guided hike, take a birding tour with Steven, jog to the village or simply sleep in!
- The first of your two adventures will take about 4 to 6 hours depending on the trip. Lunch is served in the field on the hiking and rafting tours, but you will dine in house with the horseback trip.
- After your tour, it is time for the slide… Kids spend hours going down, you'll love the fact that they have to walk back up! You may join them in the fun or simply watch for the comfort of the hot tub with taste beverage in hand.
- There will still be lots of daylight left to get an afternoon walk in.
- By now, you will start to get a hang of Rafiki. You will have forgotten that you own a tie, high heels, and the importance of time. The scene at the lodge will be similar as the first night in regards to location and tour planning. There may be some new faces and of course fresh options for dinner! This might be the night to get the night hike in with Steven or Randol.
Day 3
- You now know where to get that fresh cup of delicious coffee, you know where to see the birds at the feeder, and you also know what expect for your tour departure. So relax, you are now a seasoned "Rafikian". The new guests will be looking up to you for guidance on how to obtain that grin you are wearing!
- After your second tour, you may wonder what the third trip would have been all about… If you are not pressed for time on the departure date, it may be feasible to squeeze another trip in before you leave, just ask the host!

- Post Report, Kathmandu
May 21, 2017-
The Investment Board Nepal (IBN) is all set to finalise the draft of the project investment agreement (PIA), a contractual document in which the board will sign with foreign investors once their investment proposal is endorsed by the government.
The IBN is preparing the template of the document as per the rule which makes it mandatory for the board to sign such pacts with foreign investors.
Currently, the IBN is holding consultation with multiple stakeholders to finalise the document. The draft of the template will be presented in the next board meeting of the IBN. Once approved, it will be used to seal deals with foreign investors.
"Our board meeting will most likely be held this week, which will approve the template of the PIA," said a highly placed source at the IBN. "Once the board approves it, the IBN will use the document to enter into deal with Hongshi Shivam Cement Private Limited."
Hongshi Shivam is a Nepal-China joint venture company, which is attracting Rs36 billion in foreign investment to build a cement factory in Nawalparasi. The company is planning to produce 6,000 tonnes of cement per day.
The IBN is planning to sign such agreements to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by providing numerous facilities to foreign investors. The PIA is a "marketing document" to show Nepal is a FDI-friendly destination, according to the IBN source.
As per the PIA, projects that will be built through foreign investment will receive similar treatment as domestic projects. They will also receive certain financial benefits if they are able to generate significant number of jobs for Nepalis. The PIA will also entitle them to certain benefits if they contract out portions of projects to Nepali contractors.
The PIA will also help developers of projects being built through foreign investment to get approvals from various government authorities and secure work visa for foreign employees hired by the companies.
"Getting approval from multiple government authorities can be a cumbersome task for foreign investors," said the source. "The PIA will ease this process." The PIA, according to the IBN, will also help foreign investors to acquire land to build projects.
"Acquisition of both private and public land has become a major challenge for foreign investors, and in many cases difficulties in land acquisition have delayed projects," said the source. "Upon signing the PIA, the IBN will help investors to acquire land for project development by holding negotiations with private land owners." The PIA will also provide security to foreign investment against state intervention like nationalisation of projects.

Plenty of close games in the 2nd week of SC Finals. Where did you end up? Famous victory? Or devastating loss?
Score / C / Overall Rank
2433/Dangerfield & 2057th
What a gun
Above Serviceable
(Oliver, Grundy & Heeney)
(McLean, Lloyd, Cripps, Smith, Mitchell, Gray, Crouch)
Improvement needed
(Wingard, Walters & Simpson)
Under performed
(Westhoff, Yeo, Coniglio, Laird, Gawn)
Very average
(Hurley & Hurn)
Hoping to improve overall, still luckily got the 2 trades with Sonny Walters doing a hammy in the last 5 minutes!
Cheers Catta
Looking at a final score of 2370\Macrae. Dunno about rank yet, was about 890.
Had a donut on field because of Nank too.
Put McLean on the bench to take Billings score and he ended up out scoring him!
Updated rank: 795.
Didn't go backwards in ranking for the first time in 3 weeks.
Also that was with a donut on field because of Nank (only line with no cover) so cant be too unhappy.
Dodged obvious injuries this weekend but who knows what happens during Thursday night team selection!!
2426 (pre-scale) / Cripps / TBA (was 2061)
Update: now ranked 1,664.
2491 / Cripps / 1595 (last week)
Could've been a huge score if went Danger or MacRae over Cripps. Lowest score for the round was Gawn's 82 so fairly happy with my team across the board.
2,487, ablett,rank tbc (was 760 pre round).
How serious was walters' injury?
Pinged Hamstring and is done for the year.
up to 505 in overall ranking now.
2,471 Grundy 1800odd
Left some points out there playing the Hoff and Walters over McLean and possibly not captaining Macrae.
Walters was only bench cover so not worth trading at his price.
Should win all 5 knockout finals with one coming down to scaling I was 185 behind and he has Neale 135 and I have Mundy 118 , Cripps 111 , and Walters 96 so I am 5 in front before scaling and I am the higher ranked player.
With 2,470 amazingly was ranked 916 in Round Ranks and moved up to 1,303 overall. A solid effort after being ranked 60k after Round 1 with 1st Qtr injuries to Merrett and Libba.
2,498 with Captain Macrae.
Traded Luke Parker for Jackson Macrae last night and that turned out well.
Not ideal but not the end of the world, no scores below 80. If Kelly misses weeks thats goodbye to my season with no spare trades.
2242/Kelly I was ranked 834 so will drop below 1000. After 2716 last round come down with a thud.
Having Kelly as captain obviously hurt + McLean and Swallow on bench . Strong performers from last week all down; Coniglio, Gunston, Doedee, Gawn, Hurley, Gawn, Wingard, Yeo, Martin, Degoey …
Had a ripper week…. wait 2176 this is absolutely pathetic!!!!! I only had 9 players score over 100 points… 9 players!!!! Most important time of year for SC and i produce this! Only reason i won my main league is because my opponent had 20 players with 0 trades. I only won by 50 points too!
Guns: Danger, Zerrett, Mclean, Heeney and Cripps
Only 5 players to break 110, that is horrendous. I should have lost all my match ups this week. Would have appreciated the Captain on Danger but since Titch was in the same game and in better form i passed…. Mclean actually did something for the first time in like 6 weeks, and he was barely at 30 at half time. Heeney was a saviour for Sydney too in the dying minutes, but none of my other players wanted to do that.
Time for everything under 90 and here comes a list!
Duncan, Yeo, Westhoff, Wallis, Hurley, Tuohy, Hurn, Laird and of course my Captain Max Gawn…
Duncan been great all year and then pumps out his worst score, Wallis does the same for the last 2 weeks now. Hurley had a shocker first half surprised he made 70. Tuohy had a slight injury but 56 is hopeless especially since the last 6 rounds he been in the 90's. Finally Gawn was atrocious for the SC side of things. 46 hitouts yet 7 possies and 2 marks.
I lost every match this week bar my main 1 and i draw a game but still lost due to ladder position. I am thankful that my friend always runs out of trades as it was my lifeline this week. Worst Finals Week EVER!!!!
2453/Cripps/24 pre lockout
Relativity happy with my score this week a few spuds but all round ok hoping to make ranks praying to the sc gods to just squeeze into the top 10! Gawn/Cogs my lowest scorers with 82 had 7 under 100
18th overall now! 139 points off 10th!
2539/Macrae (c)
Huge Sunday got me over the line in all my semis and through to 10 prelims
2410 / macrae / 130 before rank change
Pretty happy in the end, macrae saved me.
Duds: hurn and zorko. Given I traded zorko in for gaff and it was either him or bont I consider this a huge loss so far. Oh well I took the risk
2520/Macrae C
After a very ordinary season, happy to finally be stringing together a few good rounds. Too late though as I didn't quite make the SCT ladies league top 8, only in the tit'ead cup, as the DT talk boys used to call it 🙁
Taking Menegola over Westhoff, Macrae and Brayshaw a month or so ago a big part of the good scores. Watch now as they score 70 next week 🙂
Disappointing performance from my team with only 10 players scoring 100+ with 5 of them 120+, 3 players below 80 and my 2nd lowest captain score of the year.
Looking forward to some key preliminary finals (3) which includes a matchup against Chillo in the SCT Contributors League.
Supercoach was pale in comparison this weekend as I had a great experience attending my first PDC live event in Melbourne (PDC Melbourne Darts Masters) on Saturday night sitting in the front row and I received a match flight from Peter Wright.
Good luck to everybody for their last fortnight of SC in 2018.
2999 / Grundy / 560
Grundy Captain turned out to be a master stroke as he was 1 point short of being my highest scoring player!!
Rank went out 100 spots, almost the whole team stunk it up.
Always next year..
2459 / Cripps / up 92 places to 307 overall
Kicking myself for not going with my gut and putting the C on Macrae, would have scored 2500, but won all 3 finals so have 8/9 leagues into next weeks prelims.
2465- McRae (thanks catta)
In do or die semi.
Walters out
2506 / Grundy / 14071 (up 4055)
Superhero: JRoo
Heroes: Danger, Macrae
Sad face <90: Laird, Yeo, Hurn, TKelly, Gawn
Happy with weekly ranking 271 🙂
2262/Kelly/down to 1247th
Could have been a lot worse, but Macrae, McLean, Oliver, Heeney and Mundy all over-produced on super Sunday.
The rest bar Crisp, Grundy and Cripps were woeful.
Lost both elimination finals, one by 7 that could have been saved had I played Doedee (or Mihocek) over Webster.
Ah well. 7 Prelims next week, but overall more important.
Hoping Kelly can play next week. Was it bad? Didn't see the game.
Well done to those with some great scores on what seems to have been a pretty average week.
Good Sunday for a change but still only won 2/4 today. Lost in The Team 6 by 25 to Shaquille YeoNeale which was my most disappointing loss, so well done Caleb.
Biggest dud shout out goes to Adam Kennedy who I was quick to shout out as a hero selection last week. A week's a long time in footy.
Stars Danger, Macrae, Oliver, Zerrett and Heeney
Sorry for your loss to Caleb … but damn I love the team name Shaquille YeoNeale !!
apologies to my cat….you didn't deserve that kicking, apologies to my grandchildren….Santa DOES exist, apologies to my ex wife……I really should have let your new man find out how frigid you are for himself, apologies to my ex wife's mum…..you really aren't that bad.
But, even though I am in 5/6 prelims, its the sixth one that hurts…major cash league, and I lost by 4 pts after he changed c from gawn to Cripps on the death….while I was out doing social work at a Bunnings bbq fund raiser….he knew I probably couldnt take a break. Also, he's a mate, so bragging rights are coming at me furiously.
Does ANYONE understand my angst ?

the cat is now back on my lap
2389 and ranked 1436. Nine spuds under 100 which shouldn't be happening at this point of year. kept c on Gawn after titch modest score…..so nearly changed it to macrae at last minute. Reckon Gawn injured but will play on so c no more this year.
Mitchell C kills deep finals hopes

This is Krysti. She came up to visit me this week, and I don't remember the last time I have laughed until I cried so often.
When we were about 13 years old, I was speaking to her on the phone while my mom was yelling at me for some reason or another and wanted me to get off. As if Krysti couldn't hear this woman, I told her I had to go because I was in trouble. Krysti refused to let me get off the phone. Not until I made a monster noise.
I spent nearly 5 minutes hiding in my room, whispering over the phone that my mom was reeeeeally pissed and I couldn't do that, only to have her cut me off and demand a monster noise!
By this point, my mother was livid, I was trying to hold back my laughs sooo hard that i was tearing up, and everyone in Krysti's household was laughing loudly and anticipating what would happen next.
I let out a dinosaur-like peeping sound hoping to make my friend happy, but not to agitate my mom anymore by hearing me not take her seriously.
So I did! I made some piercingly loud, utterly ridiculous sound to counteract my mothers babble and cursing in the next room….then my mom dropped a dish, came over, and everything kind of went black.
I don't think there was a time that I hung out with Krysti and didn't return home to getting my ass kicked. A consequence that was always worth the adventure.
To this day, Krysti breaks up an unfortunate scenario by making a monster noise or playing dead.
Her personality has remained as animated as it was when we met, roughly 13 years ago. Its so difficult to meet people who are able to hold such a bright and carefree outlook on life, while still remaining intelligent and level headed.
She heads home today and I'm not NOT slightly bummed.

One look and you are on your way.
In a partnership announced today between the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Delta Air Lines confirmed they are launching the first biometric terminal in the United States at Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal (Terminal F) in Atlanta.
This new development which starts later this year will give passengers flying directly to an international destination the choice of using facial recognition technology from curb to gate, designed to transform a customers journey with a seamless travel experience through the airport, or following the normal procedures.
This optional, end-to-end Delta Biometrics experience includes using facial recognition technology to:
Check in at the self-service kiosks in the lobby
Drop checked baggage at the counters in the lobby
Serve as identification at the TSA checkpoint
Board a flight at any gate in Terminal F
And, go through CBP processing for international travellers arriving into the U.S.
Travelling on partner airlines Aeromexico, Air France-KLM or Virgin Atlantic Airways out of Terminal F? Those customers are eligible to use this technology too — another benefit of Delta's unmatched global network of partnerships.
"Launching the first biometric terminal in the US. at the world's busiest airport means we're bringing the future of flying to customers travelling around the globe. Customers have an expectation that experiences along their journey are easy and happen seamlessly — that's what we're aiming for by launching this technology across airport touch points." said Gil West, Delta Air Lines COO.
The Trump supporting airline claims that its staff have had an input in the move of facial recognition from testing to this full-scale launch. Delta employees gave feedback on a number of issues from the best camera angle for a successful scan to an added device enhancement that better facilitates face-to-face interactions with customers. Based on initial testing, the facial recognition option not only saves up to nine minutes per flight but supposedly allows staff to have more meaningful interactions with customers.
"This is the latest example of Delta's investment in, and partnership with, the world's busiest and most efficient airport. We are looking forward to bringing the future of travel to life with Delta, CBP and TSA," said Balram Bheodari, interim General Manager, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Some people are not as enthusiastic about the new procedures, a leading European think tank on aviation safety dismissed the current technology as rather unreliable. They say recent tests showed the system only worked 70% of the time and in the 30% of the unsuccessful times passengers would have to re-queue, adding at least six minutes more to their throughput.

Hi there,
I have recently pulled the clutch apart to inspect as this bike has been sitting a long time.
Found a couple of suspect friction discs and ordered some new ones. Received same and put clutch back together.
Now, the push rod does not seem to be pushing the plates apart as expected. The lever has no tension and has gone loose.
Everything seems to be in the right place apart from the manual calling for 2x shims under the circlip (16) shown on my photo with the cotton bud pointing to it. I only have 1.
The push rod ball is in place.
The replacement friction discs are the correct ones.
The sequence of plates and rings are correct.
I am wondering how this could be as this is a mechanical operation as opposed to a slave cylinder push rod operation.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
The other issue I have is that I am unable to remove the sprocket cover. I think it must be seized on the gear shifter.
Thanks, Dean.

On some of the existing recordings, you may hear things that don't match the sheet music. There are one of two possibilities for the differences:
- I made a mistake
- The group that contracted me to make the recording note or chord changes to better suit the needs of their voices.
In either case, I cannot go back and fix these instances before I deliver one of the existing songs in my library. In all cases, you should let the sheet music rule, unless you decide that any intentional changes can work for your group as well.

KIMBERLEY WALSH is describing the all-too-familiar daily chaos of the bath-time routine, when both of her boys get a final burst of energy and anarchy breaks out.
"It almost feels like they're taunting me and running in opposite directions. By the time I've got them to bed, I don't even know what I look like any more," she says.
"They are absolute nutters, my two. I thought they'd be quite placid like me, but they've both turned out full of character and so cheeky."
Having said that, she reckons she could just about handle another one to join Bobby, who turns four in September, and Cole, 19 months. However, her husband Justin Scott, 35, formerly of boy band Triple 8 and now a successful property developer, might take some persuading.
"I think I've got one more in me," says Kimberley. "I'm one of four so I think that's why I'm like: 'We can just keep going!' I didn't find pregnancy difficult, and I think if you've had a good experience then that makes the decision a bit easier.
"I think once this phase passes, Justin will be like: 'Ah, OK then.' It might feel more doable to him. It's just that they're so full-on at the moment."
She tells of a recent particularly stressful play date over at Giovanna Fletcher's house.
"I didn't know her that well, but we have two boys each and they are similar ages, so she was like: 'Come over! It'll be great!'"
Kimberley raises a weary eyebrow.
"Previous to this Bobby had been an angel child, but he was so naughty, challenging everything I said, and I just didn't know how to parent in that situation. Giovanna was all: 'Ah, it's fine, we've all been there.' Urgh. She sort of invited me back, but it hasn't happened yet…"
Mum mates have proven a lifeline for Kimberley. Just three months after Cole was born, her best friend Cheryl gave birth to baby Bear, her first child with Liam Payne, and now their two toddlers often play together.
In the past, Kimberley, 36, has been cagey about her former Girls Aloud band mate in interviews. So it's perhaps indicative of Cheryl, 35, being much more settled in her personal life that Kimberley is happy to discuss their relationship today.
"She brought Bear over the other day and they're at the same stage, both walking everywhere, so we were in that zone where you have to entertain them literally all day long. The boys were very cute together.
"Cheryl's in a really good place and we're just helping each other through. We mother quite similarly, which I think was always likely because we're such close friends. She's got so many nieces and nephews, so it's like she's always done this and she's doing really well.
"Bear is such a happy, smiley and content child, so she must be doing something right. Cole is quite clingy – I couldn't leave him with Cheryl to go to the loo – whereas Bear will just chill with me until she comes back. He's more like my Bobby."
Cheryl is currently preparing a comeback after a long spell out of the public eye, promising new music later this year, which Kimberley reveals has been written with ex-Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts.
"I can't give anything away, but she played me some the other day and it's quite exciting. Those two always worked well together. They were always more into the writing than the rest of us, and I think they bring out the best in each other."
She adds: "The way Cheryl likes to be is: when it's family time, it's family, and when it's work time, it's work, and there's nothing wrong with that. Juggling work and being a mum, she'll find her way just like we all do. It's just the way it is."
From the very start of Girls Aloud, back in 2002, Kimberley was closest to Cheryl and Nicola, which often gave rise to rumours of divisions within the band. In an interview with Fabulous earlier this year, Nadine Coyle denied there was ever a feud and likened it to any other work situation – some colleagues become friends, while others… well, don't.
Kimberley nods when this is put to her.
"I think that's a good way of describing it. Obviously we had to work with each other every single day, so on some level we got on. The superficial friendship was there, just maybe not so deep. But she's right, there weren't any clashes and we all knew what we had to do.
"And you do sort of lose connection as time goes on, but a lot has happened and I would love to see Nadine and get all the kids together [Nadine has a four-year-old daughter, Anaiya]. I feel like that would help us to find a new level together because we have that in common now. I'm sure it'll happen at some point – you run into people eventually!"
And Sarah Harding?
"I can't remember the last time I saw Sarah, but she's messaged me a few times recently, and it was nice to chat to her. She's doing all right, so I was glad about that. Sarah has literally not changed and I know if I saw her it would be like no time had passed."
Party-loving Sarah was always known as the rock-'n'-roll member of the band, but Kimberley says she wasn't the only one to enjoy a drink or five.
"I wasn't wild. I've never gone through a phase of drugs. But I do have another side, and I did go out a lot in my 20s. People used to say: 'I love drunk Kimberley – she's different!' It's not like I was uptight and didn't know how to enjoy myself.
"Drunk Kimberley doesn't come out that much these days because I just can't face the feeling the next day with the kids. I reach a tipping point, and where I used to think: 'Get me more, get me more!' now I'm like: 'Is it worth it?' And no, it's not.
"Maybe Justin and I will go through a midlife crisis when we're 50 – like, go topless on a yacht somewhere and everyone will go: 'Oh, it took her a while but she's finally lost it!'"
Since Girls Aloud called it a day five years ago, Kimberley has gone forth and diversified.
With a spell in the West End here, a spot of presenting there, a solo album, a starring role in a TV drama and, right now, the launch of her children's clothing range, she's kept herself in gainful employment by becoming something of an all-rounder.
"I feel like I'm a bit of a Del Boy of the entertainment business," she jokes. "Like, is there anything I've not done yet?
"But it's good to be able to turn your hand to a few different things, especially the way the industry's gone now – there's less work because the reality stuff takes over everything. So you really do have to have a few different channels or you might struggle to earn a living."
Given that Kimberley is said to be worth £7million, she surely doesn't need to worry too much about that…
"I just don't want to get that feeling where I've got to sacrifice anything. I know we'd be just as happy in a house half the size, and the kids don't care – they don't actually give a crap where they live or what they have, but I want it for them. We don't live a lavish lifestyle because I'm not that person, but I don't want to have to take anything away from them."
Those niggling doubts are the main reason Kimberley took relatively short maternity leaves – she returned to work filming Disney Channel's The Lodge when Cole was just a few months old.
Even after the best part of 20 years in the business, it seems The Fear is still real.
"I feel like you can't go away for a year and expect anybody to remember who you are," she says. "But I'd never have pushed myself to do something that would make me uncomfortable or take away the enjoyment of having a baby because I think those first six months are so precious.
"I do think I've got a good balance. I do enough to keep my head sane, to keep things ticking over and also to be around for the boys."
Kimberley would be the last person to be affected by fame and fortune – she's the most down to earth and good-humoured of celebrities, doesn't take herself too seriously and has a realistic, healthy outlook on life, including when it comes to body image.
"Sometimes I wish I could put more pressure on myself, but clearly I just don't have it in me to care enough about my appearance!" she laughs.
"I try not to eat to excess the majority of the time, but sometimes when I look at other people on Instagram who seem to be so much more focused and driven, I'm just like: 'Why can't I be bothered to do that?'
"But when I'm tired from running around with the boys, I'm certainly not going to see a trainer at 7pm when they go to sleep."
Amen to that!
