ladies to the gunfight
From CK:
Welcome to another special installment of the EVE Blog Banter, the monthly EVE Online blogging extravaganza created by myself, CrazyKinux. The EVE Blog Banter involves an enthusiastic group of gaming bloggers, a common topic within the realm of EVE Online, and a week to post articles pertaining to the said topic. The resulting articles can either be short or quite extensive, either funny or dead serious, but are always a great fun to read! Any questions about the EVE Blog Banter should be directed to me. Check out other EVE Blog Banter articles at the bottom of this post!
What could CCP Games do to attract and maintain a higher percentage of women to the game. Will Incarna do the trick? Can anything else be done in the mean time? Can we the players do our part to share the game we love with our counterparts, with our sisters or daughters, with the Ladies in our lives? What could be added to the game to make it more attractive to them? Should anything be changed? Is the game at fault, or its player base to blame?
Many crass generalizations and Stereotypes are about to occur but just know that for sure, not every woman who fits this idea. ( sarcasm light is ON in overheated mode)
What exactly do women want from a Spaceship MMO game? Yes on it's surface it is a complex question. Lets look back and try to rationalize what we know women want in general
The women I know all want a good romp in the hay. Yep, I am blessed to know so many women that just run around and "get' with every man they see. It is both a blessing and a curse indeed. NO they do not seek the deeper emotional attachment that comes with more than just 1 night. Lets equate EvE to a bar shall we? Women want to walk into a bar, and get pounced on the minute they clear the door (or gate) in EvE's case. See that way they know that the guys inside that bar are so desperate that they will attack anything with as much fervor as possible, and dammit we all know that women want to be "ganked" in EvE am I right? Of course I am, otherwise I would not be writing this. SO as in the real world women want to be bum rushed and pounced on. EvE provides this as a SERVICE to all denizens inside it's virtual borders. Ergo EvE = real life in a bar setting. In EvE you want some lust? Go on a good roam ( think of them as pub crawls) and pounce on every ship you see. A bad roam trawling through many bars and finding them empty :(. To get more Women to play I think we amp it up a bit and give away shoes to those that kill the most in a given night 😉
Of course everyone wants to betray you it is in their genetic code. They want to draw you in like a spider to a fly. Much as in EvE, you meet a nice sweet, pilot that wants to be a builder, yes a creator of sorts. You sweet talk them and Pounce on them (see LUST from above) and they keep wanting more of you for some ungodly reason. You convince them to give you PLEX's in return for vast sums of more money. ( we all know that ISK grows on the tress harvested in the CCP sections of space rite?) They turn over the PLEX's to you an BAMM your out of there faster than a raptor equipped with rigs to make you warp at 20 AU/s. Pilots WANT to be betrayed see and in this way EvE is a paradise for Women. There are so many easy marks noob's that you can get through 15 jumps from Jita and they are falling out of the woodwork.
Women love this fertile ground of easy players wanting to be betrayed. Especially if it is by a women!
hot half-naked men
See LUST picture for my Picture!
Yes that's right going past the spaceships in game, there are the hot as hell, half-naked men, that play this game ( see my picture above for LUST).
True Story. A corp mate and another Director I know his name Begins with a G and ends with a ixxer1000, plays naked. He gets more women than a toilet seat at grand central station, during rush hour on black Friday in a non-recession year, after drinking 64 ounces of diet soda.. All of us that play, are hawt as hell. Me too, I am 6″3.5″ 225 Pounds of rippling man flesh, just waiting for the chance to meet you lovely young ladies, till Mrs. Mule walks in the room at which time I will revert to the Facade of " oh hi there ma'am". I am not so easy to surprise, most of the time (wink wink) So ladies if you want hot half-naked, or 100% naked men sitting as a keyboard waiting to pounce on you come on play!
EvE is just chock full of them. If your worried about attachment and dear god we know you don't want to utter the "L" word see betrayal above.
a good story
We all love a good story. Pilots especially want to hear the story of your life in EvE, this make believe spaceship game hosted out of England. Tell them your story, yes that's right even the sordid bits, the gross stuff, even the stuff you do not tell your mom cause your ashamed. Pilots when conversing back…be honest, now not everyone is hung like a donkey, you might be an elephant, or "mule", or even a rhino. In your story though you have to include cats, or preferably kittens, and puppies, as pilots eat that stuff up. Seeing as how all the women I know have kittens and puppies this seems like a fertile ground for ladies to come in and have at it. (see LUST above in case you forgot)
Another true story, Below is a picture of me going to get flowers and kittens for my lovely… ummm…. friend from the internet spaceship game EvE, without Mrs. Mule noticing I took her scooter.
Secretly all women like liars. Women make shit up, play with emotions, like the kitten does with a ball of Yarn , or the puppy with a stick. Women toy with em. Tell pilots any good story you want( see "a good story above") Make shit up that makes you look better than you are. I should have said 6″ 5″ and 210 pounds but , well, I lie poorly you see. Maybe that is a lie too eh? ( small note it is a know fact that Canadian Women LOVE the Canadian Man accent, remember it is 'man" singular as there are so few in number proportionally so can say man ( except for the town that did operation Yellow ribbon that town is full of them but they don't get the internet there).
Pilots love to lie all the time. When I say, "sure I won't pod you for 100M ISK I do not really mean it, I love to pod you unless I can get more out of you, is what I mean.
Do not lie to them about Real life stuff though: They like the fact that you may be living in your mom's house, eating chef- boyardee by the caseload, and sit on a seat that doubles as a toilet. So ladies there are tons of liars in New Eden, hell even that name is a lie, Eden my ass…but i digress.
Come to New Eden ladies…everyone is honest…no lies!
Communication is so straight forward
I can only talk of my experiences about why my wife, Mrs. Mule doesn't play EvE. She will watch me click various buttons, mutter gibberish, into a headphone that looks like I could control 1/2 of Harts-field Atlanta's Air traffic Control Center, and listen to me mutter curses if something happens I did not want expect. Take the sample below it is so straight forward do I even need to explain?
Here is a snippet of conversation:
FC to fleet "Fleet, destination is in fleet, Jump on contact, align and hold to the outbound"
I answer: " FC, scout is +1, 2 reds, no visuals, nothing on scan, gate is clear"
FC to Fleet " Belay that, Warp to gate at optimals, set RR BS as target, engage upon landing, realign P5 M10″
This isn't complicated! Every one knows what fleet is! Everyone knows optimal and RR BS,and Party at 5 Meet at 10 means, am i rite?
SO simply and Easy to play
Undock in your rookie ship and come shoot people! that's right Everyone does this Women love things that are simple and easy to play ( except Mrs. Mule) She doesn't like simple things at all but maybe I'm lying..
This game doesn't have an DAMN encyclopedia of stuff to remember! It doesn't have 238 different types of ships, nor does it have so many star systems that they even had to name them with some frigging algorithm. Nope we are all one big happy shard sitting in our ships waiting for lovely young women to "play" with ( see LUST above)
EvE is a piece of cake to play, simple and straight forward, not nearly as complex as you might think. Don't read stuff, jump right in to the pool ( it is all the same depth about 1 Inch deep) and be careful not to stub your toe!
Women Love easy simple games and this CERTAINLY qualifies as one!
So there you have it EvE is a game that will satisfy a woman's LUST, fulfill her need for betrayal. This game is chock full of Hawt Men, who want nothing more than a good story, and no lies please!
(sarcasm light is off now)
Take care and I hoped you laughed a bit!

Well, I think it is simply absurd to think of "changing" the game to appeal to any particular niche audience, CCP should just focus on making the best game they can. I'm sure Eve doesn't appeal to certain South Pacific Native people either, but that doesn't mean I think it needs more coconuts.
You are a disturbing individual, Mule! But I chuckled all the way through this post despite–or because of–that small fact about you. LOLS!
I laughed. I'm worried about you, but perhaps that's only because you sounded familiar… yikes!
Rixx your Post ( which deserves to win) was certainly the reason I wrote as I did 🙂 Brilliantly done BTW

Hollywood (Intermezzo)
[Contains spoilers for the films Adaptation and High Tension.]
In yesterday's Bleat, James Lileks reviews the recent French thriller High Tension, and is less than impressed:
Friday night I watched one of the worst horror movies ever made on any planet, "High Tension." From the trailer I thought it would be one of those elegant nail-biting cat-and-mouse movies, as our Spunky Lank Gamine Heroine eludes a killer in a farmhouse, but no. It's another "tribute to the horror films of the 70s," a genre for which I have no affection, so I FF'd most of it. It's French, for one thing, and I think French cinema is generally overrated.... But. "High Tension" has one of those post-Sixth Sense "plot twist shockers" that renders the entire movie absolutely meaningless & impossible – but so Fronsh in its own way, non?Naturally, I read Mr. Lileks's spoiler [cleverly embedded on the page in white-on-white font; I can't wait to see the Google cache]. The incredible chutzpah of the French movie then came clear to me: its plot is that of the Impossibly Bad Screenplay, The 3, which becomes an implausible success in Spike Jonze's Adaptation. Right down to the utterly impossible, self-eviscerating car chase. Mr. Lileks again:
The Spunky Lank Gamine Heroine who battles the mass murderer is – gasp! – a lesbian, and... as we learn about 70% of the way through the movie, the murderer is a figment of her psychotic imagination. She's been driven mad by suppressed lesbianism... As if this isn't annoying enough, it makes the entire movie suddenly . . . unimpossible, to quote Ralph Wiggums – there's a scene in which the killer uses his truck to drive our heroine's car off the road.[Emphasis and first two ellipses mine.] Since Adaptation is a relatively recent film [2002], I checked the dates on IMDB -- and High Tension was released in 2003. But so cutting edge. So unorthodox. So daring.

Oh Yes I Did
November 25, 2012
After a month and a half of anecdotal research and weekly trips to the Oregon Humane Society, I found him. His name is Slacks. He's 5 months old.
He is comfortable in his body and not scared and kind. Really kind. He presses his little nose firmly into my lips, against my eye. He stares. His voice is raspy. He rides on my shoulders and in a papoose.
We danced together last night, alone in the cabin with the bluegrass marathon on KBOO. I held him on his back like a baby, swinging him along to the music. He purred so hard he couldn't keep his eyes open.
This morning he crossed everything off my to-do list and wrote "hold me" instead.
For you, anything.

I am thankful for my neighbor's ladder. And a willing body.
Also for:
Sun today
Chocolate pumpkin glutan/flour free bread that I am going to make!
Olive the cat behind me on the futon
The linen sailor shirt (that I'm wearing)
Chocolate covered cashews
My wise parents
And the rest
Can you beat that for the most random list of thankfuls? Try…
Wet Sunday
November 18, 2012
Jesus, what is wrong with me? Is it because I ignored my own advice and visited the dogs at the SPCA Friday night? I am so emotional. Throughout the day I find myself ready to cry for no reason at all. No provocation, no story or image. Just pure emotion in the form of salty water.
At least that was what I was telling myself this morning as I made soup and wondered what else to do today. Sarah came home- from a spontaneous a.m. bowling session – and I pretended to continue cooking and listened to her talk until she asked me how my day was going and I bust into tears while saying, "I can't stop crying and I don't know why". And then preceded to talk and explain and understand for the better part of an hour until I did know why. I am an introvert living in an extroverted city. Or, perhaps better said, I am an introvert living in a dark and rainy city that requires reaching out in order to beat back loneliness and isolation. I do a little reaching but my humble routine and my treasured handful of friends are not always enough. They do not cover all of the empty space. There are parts that are left bare and sensitive.
What to do? Nothing I suppose. Another night to come, another morning just around the corner. An end and a beginning, each one offering a new perspective on an ever shifting experience.
Then and Now
November 17, 2012
Whoop Whoop! Check out the first installment of the Filly Foundation Collection (a permanent offering of our all time favorites)!
This Is Why
November 15, 2012
This is why I have not been writing:
One, I now live in the cabin out back. It is quiet there. The walls are wood and soft. The ceiling is high and pitched and friendly. And the radio spells out an ongoing yarn of politics and scandals and sports scores. I have to remember to turn off the space heater before turning on anything else unless I want to flip the breaker. And so everything happens in a sequence- the most important to the least: coffee, heat the room, hot water for dishes, vacuum the rug. I tend to my nest like a mama bird, keeping it tidy and clean.
The internet does not reach out to the cabin.
Two, I am working. Up on the house cleaning the gutters, pruning, digging, dismantling, building. I am making her better everyday.
Three, in between chores I am scanning the Portland Humane Society website. If I look at the dogs I will cry before bed. If I visit the dogs, in their little pens at the facility, I will feel an icy hand around my heart pulling me back the very next day, and the next, and I will go even though I cannot take one home. And so now I only look at the cats. Should I get a cat? The ones I like look like this:
(boy, girl, girl)
Opinions? Do you like cats? Are they cool? Do any of these give you a good feeling? What does it take to be a good cat mom? Talk to me…

It matters who you know, and in 1997, the 21-year-old Jason Eagan knew almost no one in New York. But quality can indeed make up for quantity. One contact — the illustrator Ian Falconer, now of "Olivia" fame — ushered him into a glamorous downtown crowd. Another, Julie Taymor, pointed him toward a behind-the-scenes job on "The Lion King."
In the half a lifetime since he arrived from his native Los Angeles with dreams of directing on Broadway, Mr. Eagan has made himself into a vital New York someone for many other artists to know.
For the past 15 years, he has been the remarkably well-connected, stealthily low-profile, principal creative force shaping the innovative Off Broadway incubator Ars Nova. From its base on West 54th Street in Hell's Kitchen, Mr. Eagan, the 43-year-old founding artistic director, has built a formidable record as a spotter and nurturer of outside-the-box talent.
He's the guy who plucked an obscure Billy Eichner out of one Manhattan basement and an unknown Lin-Manuel Miranda out of another; who discovered the alt-cabaret comedian Bridget Everett at midnight at a karaoke bar; who looked upon the glorious excess of Dave Malloy's nascent "War and Peace" musical, "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812," and said, in effect: "More." "Keep going." And "Yes."
"The joy for me," Mr. Eagan explained over a glass of wine recently, "is finding the thing — the person or the show — that's completely mesmerizing. Then the job is to figure out what we can do with that."
His genre-mashing taste is the unifying aesthetic at a company known for pop-culture-savvy experimentation, with a hipness that sets it apart. In a theater industry reliant on the M.F.A. pipeline to replenish its talent supply, Mr. Eagan is the rare gatekeeper who actively seeks out extraordinary artists on the fringes who need someone to help them through.
"Jason's always three steps ahead of the culture," said Mr. Eichner, who spent two years developing his overwrought, celebrity-obsessed "Billy on the Street" persona in monthly live talk shows on Ars Nova's stage, beginning in 2005.
Stardom was still a long way away, but simply being there put him on the radar.
Alumni News
Artist by artist, show by show, Ars Nova has been filtering into the mainstream.
You can see it in the alumni rolls of its playwriting residency, Play Group; the inaugural bunch, formed in 2007, includes such TV heavyweights as Elizabeth Meriwether ("New Girl"), Beau Willimon ("House of Cards"), Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch ("GLOW").
You can see it in Ars Nova hits that lately have gone off into the wider world — like Bess Wohl's "Small Mouth Sounds," born in Play Group; Jennifer Kidwell and Scott R. Sheppard's "Underground Railroad Game," which in January toured to Australia; and the groundbreaking "Comet," whose lauded transfer to Broadway in 2016 was a glittering but bittersweet triumph.
And you could see it one evening this month, when Mr. Miranda — also part of that first Play Group — took the stage of the Greenwich House Theater with his hip-hop improv group, Freestyle Love Supreme. With tickets priced at $1,000 to $2,500, it was a sold-out benefit for Ars Nova, celebrating its expansion to the former Barrow Street Theater in Greenwich Village. (The Mad Ones' latest show, "Mrs. Murray's Menagerie," starts performances there on March 26.)
[What's new onstage and off: Sign up for our Theater Update newsletter]
When Mr. Eagan first saw Freestyle Love Supreme, in 2004, they were performing in the basement of the Drama Book Shop. Their eight-week Ars Nova run that fall was Mr. Miranda's first professional New York show, sharing a bill with a trapeze act.
In 2005, Mr. Eagan took the troupe to the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo., to put them in front of an industry audience. Mr. Miranda was his roommate on the trip, and when he suggested watching a movie, he handed Mr. Eagan a case of DVDs he'd brought.
"I started flipping through, and it's all musicals," said Mr. Eagan. "It was this penny-drop moment for me, where I was like, 'Right: If you want to break the form, you have to know the form that you're breaking.' "
For his part, Mr. Miranda doesn't recall the DVDs, or that (as Mr. Eagan says) they settled on the TV version of Stephen Sondheim's "Passion."
"What I remember from the Aspen trip," he said, "was actually getting very sick, and Jason was kind of the one who took care of me. He was getting me soup so that I could then rap at high altitudes.
"So he was like my Aspen wife," Mr. Miranda added, cheerfully.
Playground and Launchpad
In a series of hourslong interviews for this story, Mr. Eagan was thoughtful, funny and self-scrutinizing, with an appealing lack of pretense. These days he lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with his partner of 13 years, Zach Shaffer, an actor; their cat, Scout; and their dog, Benny. But in 2003, when Ars Nova's founders, Jenny and Jon Steingart, hired him, he was a 27-year-old with instructions to program performances that he felt passionate about.
So he filled the 99-seat space with a nonstop mix of comedy, music and theater, whose creators ended up watching one another's work — an organic, accidental cross-fertilization.
As Ars Nova evolved — toning down the chaos of the early years, creating residencies to bring artists into the fold, commissioning playwrights and composers — it has always been intended as both playground and launchpad.
Dedicated to discovering artists and supporting them in the emergent stages of their careers, it then aims to nudge them out the door. "But we are terrible at saying goodbye," Mr. Eagan said.
Keeping Sorrow to Himself
Ask the director Rachel Chavkin for a Jason Eagan story, and she flashes back to her first big opening: "Comet" at Ars Nova, in 2012. As they stood outside on 54th Street, Mr. Eagan talked her through what to expect from the attention to come — from critics and producers. He was "such a good caretaker of me at this huge moment of segue in my career," she said.
Tending to others was a skill he learned early, or at least that's the way he thinks of his childhood, in the San Fernando Valley. His parents were high school sweethearts who taught tap dance together as teenagers, and they married young. His mother was 20 when she had him, his father 21. Before he turned a year old, they split up.
He remembers, when he was small, feeling that he "had to be a grown-up" for his mother, because she had it hard enough, and flying alone to Northern California to visit his father, who was gay and by then also out. Close to both of them, he didn't let on when he overheard his mother say that his father was H.I.V.-positive.
Until his father sat him down to say that he was sick, he quietly hoped it wasn't true. His father's death from AIDS in 1988, when Jason had just turned 13, was the mostly secret trauma of his childhood, in an era when AIDS was surrounded by stigma and silence. In eighth grade at a new school where he didn't have any friends yet, he kept his sorrow to himself.
His childhood was also marked, though, by a sustaining love of music and performance — singing for years in children's choirs; backing up REO Speedwagon, with some other kids, on the "Goonies" soundtrack; being a supernumerary at Los Angeles Opera, starting in junior high. At his performing arts high school — where he was the mascot, a bewigged Alexander Hamilton — he gravitated toward musical theater, discovering almost by chance that he liked directing.
Given his curious, lightning-fast mind and attention to detail, it's surprising that he had no interest in formal education after that. His only college experience was part of a single semester that he felt pressured into, until he decided it was a waste of time. A leader now in a milieu where college, if not graduate school, is the rule, he makes self-conscious jokes about that blank on his résumé. But Mr. Eagan has always charted his own path.
'Fear Can Be Exhilarating'
If he had been a student somewhere, instead of a stage manager at Los Angeles Opera, he probably wouldn't have met Ms. Taymor when she came to direct "The Flying Dutchman." He was only 19, and she remembers him as talented and eager — while he remembers his thrill at her work, and the postcards he wrote relentlessly to stay in touch. As "The Lion King" got ready for Broadway, Disney Theatrical Productions hired him to manage the design studio.
On his second night as a New Yorker, some people he'd met through his friend Mr. Falconer brought him along to an invite-only workshop by a friend of theirs. The show, almost a year before it opened Off Broadway, was "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," starring John Cameron Mitchell, who also wrote the book.
Mr. Eagan would go on to direct "Hedwig" outside the city, and to stage-manage it in New York. In 2003, he was working for Mr. Mitchell on what would become the movie "Shortbus" when he got the Ars Nova job.
He fell for it so hard that in his first two years, by choice, he didn't take a day off. He sounds genuinely happy about what he and the team there have built. Even after "Great Comet" — and the public fight with commercial producers over proper program credit on Broadway — the company's agenda is unchanged.
But if you ask Mr. Eagan about his future, or his personal ambitions, he turns pleasantly vague.
Over a long lunch one February afternoon in the West Village, he reminisced about his early days in the city. Back in the '90s, he said, he was out every night, basking in the gay culture downtown, with "drag and go-go and burlesque and everything going on in every bar."
All of that was theater; all of that was formative. But as much as it piqued his curiosity, he felt a constant fear deep inside. The way his father suffered toward the end of his life, so frail that he needed his son to bathe him, "it's like burned in my brain," he said.
"I was enamored by that culture and night life, and the sex of it and the drugs of it and doing it all," Mr. Eagan continued. "But his story and what happened to him is very much a part of my identity as a gay man in New York, too." He stopped himself. "I don't know why I'm even talking about that, or what it means."
Isn't it about fear being paired with joy? And maybe with fully living?
"Yes," he said, instantly. "And the fear can be exhilarating, too."
Half a moment later, in a perfectly smooth hairpin turn, he connected that emotional combination to his work at Ars Nova, where what he wants is to "create this place where people can step into the darkness with exhilaration and joy and fear all at once, and try anything and everything."
"But I'm also trying to create the safest place to do that," he said. "So people can go as far as they want to go, and try everything they want to try, but be, like, swaddled" — and here he mimed rocking an infant in his arms — "as they develop their artistic voice."
"And then," he added, as if he were a person who has no trouble with goodbyes, "they go out into the big, bad, show-business world."

Ok, so I'm not generally given to emotional outbursts of this nature, but it's just true. I've been wanting to write something on here for a while now but things have been piling up and it's all a bit of a jumble in my head at the moment. H and I have been doing more talking. Talking is good, particularly because not talking leads to assumptions about the other person's opinions and emotional state that actually reflect your own feelings, not theirs. I'd been holding back because he's under a lot of pressure with work and I didn't want to badger him. He'd been holding back because he knows I'm trying to work things out in my head and he didn't want to badger me into talking before I was ready.
So once we got over that and agreed to put everything else on hold for a bit while we had our discussion, we ended up going over some old ground as well as venturing into some new territory. It's important, I think, to cover stuff you've already covered – opinions and feelings change with new information after all and it's good to check that you're still on the same page. So I asked once again whether he felt pressured into going along with my exploration of the non-monogamy thing, whether he felt slighted or upset or anything by it and was hiding it to avoid making me feel bad about making him feel bad. Yes, we overdo the second-guessing a bit, I realize, but I'd rather backtrack a hundred times than actually hurt him. So I do. Backtrack, that is.
The answer, as before, was no, he wasn't feeling coerced and that he was in fact proud of me for getting up the guts to finally explore this aspect of myself. He doesn't think it's for him personally (though I did point out that, should he want to give it a go, I'd support him too) but he's ok with me being polyamorous. It's funny, every time I think I know all the different ways in which H is amazing, I'm surprised by something new and even more amazing. I'm touched that he trusts me like this. This is not the marriage that he envisioned, I know that for sure, but he's willing to go along with me as I work it into a shape that's more of a fit for me, which makes me want to ensure that it fits him too. But that he should already trust me to do so is just…well, I've already used the word amazing, but that's what it is.
Speaking of shapes, what we've agreed to try on is this: our marriage remains our primary relationship and I can explore and invest in other relationships outside it. That's very, very general and I wanted to add conditions – such as not staying out all night, not bringing anyone home, prioritizing so that plans with H take precedence over other plans (which isn't to say that I'd cancel without notice just because he said so, but for planning purposes) , safer sex (which I kind of assume is a given, but still worth articulating in the interest of clarity), always letting him know where I am and being reachable, discussing any new interest with him first to establish boundaries, etc. – but he thought that could wait while I sorted it out in my head first. It's all hypothetical anyway at this stage and I have no idea how long it'll be before it actually gets translated into practice.
Then, being evil, he added casually that, should I find myself in a situation with BC where things could get interesting that I should simply text him to say so and then go right ahead. Sounds big of him, huh? Except that, horrible, horrible person that he is, he painted an incredibly cringe-worthy scenario. I can imagine writers of teen romances everywhere wishing they'd come up with it. I shall spare you the gory details but suffice it to say that he made me turn beet red, which is quite an accomplishment as I don't blush much or easily.
All things considered though, I'm incredibly grateful to be with a man whose response to my fancying other people is to *tease me about it*.

About the Book
From the Author
Chapter 1
Buying the Book
The Thread of Gold
From the Author
therapeutic value for me, but also helped me clarify and give voice to many matters in my
heart and mind. Over a period of time, I came to believe that God had inspired me to write in
order to leave a record of my spiritual history for my children and grandchildren. I believed
He wanted me to tell them about His love and faithfulness to me during my lifetime,
especially through times of suffering. I was hopeful that they would see the great and
tender love God had shown to me and also be drawn to love Him. After about ten years, the
Lord began to indicate to me that my story was not for my family alone. However, for a
number of reasons, sharing it on a broader scale was not something I was ready or willing
to do. But as God has done throughout my life, He once again brought me in His own way
to the place where I was able to obey Him.
As much as I would like to tell my story in a form that would allow you to see just my God,
my wonderful treasure, and not have to spend too much time looking at this earthen vessel,
I have found that feat quite impossible. Be assured that in the pages of this book, the
beautiful character is God. The other one, the one with all the needs, the flaws, and the
hurts, is me. You will see how God makes Himself known to me and weaves a beautiful
thread of gold into my little, common, unexceptional, often fearful, and seemingly
purposeless life.
You may find that my life, at its core, is much like your own, in that whenever we are quiet
and reflect a little, we know we live each day on shaky ground. Deep down, we know that we
really have no guarantees about anything…unless there is God.
My story shows that God does indeed exist, and that He loves us with a love that far
surpasses our ability to understand. It demonstrates that His love is readily offered and
easily obtained. It doesn't have to be earned because it is already given. When we accept
His love, it sets us on a rock from which we can never be dislodged. It gives us a deep,
unshakable knowing that, not only are we safe in this dark and distressing world, but we
each also have been placed here with a special and wonderful purpose.
You will not find a textbook Christian life on these pages—one that moves along nicely from
point A to point Z as if following a "how-to-be-a-Christian" manual. You will not find a neat,
systematic, theologically-defined, orthodox experience. Instead, you will find a typical
person who seeks God through the twists and turns of a messy human life and finds Him,
or should I say, is found by Him. This book reveals the wonderful secret that every difficulty
in life, every human suffering or tangled circumstance, is actually a gateway waiting to open
and usher us into God's presence and His plan for our lives.
As you read, I hope that you will find Him, the One who not only brings us through every
hardship to a place of triumph, but also makes us channels to others of His great love. Our
faith in Him, which grows through all our experiences with Him on our journey through life,
will remain for our eternal joy—the beautiful thread of gold which was woven through the
dark-colored threads of our afflictions.

Old Hong Kong's floss-topped carrot cake, and fried fish skin
It's been a little more than a year since I last met my university junior, someone I call my little sister because our English names rhyme and we share the same last name. We lost touch after we graduated and thanks to Facebook, we got connected again. We are now closer as we are both mothers and we share our inner thoughts about motherhood and we spur one another on. Our recent catchup was at Raffles City, a restaurant named Old Hong Kong. It sells Dim Sum; my favourite cuisine, being a half Cantonese. I brought GerGer along as she was having her one week of school holiday. Would have brought BoiBoy along too, if I was able to handle both of them myself (I'm still working hard at crossing this hurdle). There were two dishes we found … Read More Old Hong Kong's floss-topped carrot cake, and fried fish skin

What is Physical Damage Insurance
The dangers of the road are not always collision from another vehicle, and to a trucker these threats can steal the vehicle that provides for their families if we are not covered. While Auto liability will cover incidents involving a collision with another vehicle Physical Damage takes care of other common dangers. Threats that Physical Damage can cover include: fire, rain, ice, wind, and other environmental damages. Trucks are susceptible to these hazards more then any other car due to their size and weight. Nothing is worse then having a truck roll over due to high winds and find that your clients liability coverage will not cover them. That is why they need Physical Damage. If your client drives a vehicle, and depends on that vehicle, they need Physical Damage insurance.

We all know that drinking a glass of red wine each day delivers heart-healthy benefits. That's because red wine is packed with antioxidants that have been proven to help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of "good" cholesterol and protecting against artery damage.
Now, red wine is finding its way into the beauty industry. Researchers have discovered that Resveratrol, a red wine extract, is a powerful antioxidant that helps to restore aging skin and skin in transition (such as those experienced by women going through hormonal changes).
That's great news! Regardless of the type of treatment you have, red wine facials and masks are great for:
- Restoring fine lines and wrinkles
- Moisturizing and hydrating the skin
- Firming and tightening facial skin
- Helping prevent future damage and restoring a healthier look
- Enabling the skin to stay radiant and elastic
In this red wine peel from California (recipe below), the red wine is combined with honey and yoghurt for triple the benefit.
- The red wine delivers antioxidants to the skin
- The honey helps clam redness and treat blemishes
- The yoghurt acts as an effective moisturizer
The treatment gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells, and creates a smooth, taut texture. Like all peels, this treatment focuses on lines, wrinkles and age spots and is excellent for mature skin types.
Try it at Home
All you need for a red wine treatment at home is:
- 1 cup yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4-5 tbsp red wine
Place the yogurt in a bowl – add the honey and red wine. Whisk it together and apply liberally to face. Let all ingredients soak in for about 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
It's all the goodness from nature – grapes, honey and yoghurt working its magic on your skin.

It couldn't last could it?
Many of the images I've posted from English coastal locations this summer have benefited from blue skies and sunshine. Even those where the skies were overcast were at least free of precipitation. Whatever happened to the fabled English summer?
There was however a sting in the tail when the last weekend of the school holiday arrived.
With little more than a picnic lunch and short dog walk planned, my friend Jane and I visited Crimdon, on the Durham Coast, to take advantage of its canine friendly sands. We had just parked when it began to rain from what seemed to be our own personal micro-climate. Looking around us there were plenty of patches of brightness in the heavens, but directly above us was a large dark grey cloud that was intent on making its presence felt. Picnic in the car then.
The rain passed quickly however, and so grabbing a small umbrella we descended the steps and duckboards leading over the dunes to the extensive shoreline beyond.
Taking the opportunity to allow Saffy, J's Yorkshire Terrier, off her leash to trot ahead of us, we walked south to where a group of three Border Collies were enjoying the competition of retrieving a bottle from the waves, and providing me with the inevitable photo opportunity as they mimicked the undulations of the water.
That's when the second dark cloud struck, and not just with rain. With torrential rain. And wind.
Being already saturated the collies were unperturbed, but we began to struggle with the inadequate protection of my small brolly. As we did so Saffy saw the chance to express her disgust and took off to the opposite end of the beach.
While we discussed who was to give chase, how to protect my equipment, and the predicament of Jane's increasingly transparent trousers, Saffy extended her head start.
Note to self. If you're going to lose a small dog whose colouring is a blend of grey and sandy hues, a beach with patches of coal dust is not the place to do it.
By the time I reunited her with her lead I was soaked.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Research Institute of Economic Development (RISED) published its study result on online taxi or locally known online ojek. The tariff hike of online taxi, it noted, would likely trigger an increase in the use of private vehicles.
"The increased fee of online ojek will encourage consumers to again use private vehicles, and so it will lessen the use of public transportation," said the RISED team head, Rumayya Batubara, in a press conference regarding the study result in Jakarta, Monday, February 11.
Read also: Govt Urged to be Firm in Imposing GPS Ban While Driving
Rumayya, who is also an economist from the University of Airlangga, said that consumers have a sensitive sentiment about every possibility of the tariff hike. "The increase potentially drops the consumer demand up to 71.12 percent," she said.
Based on the RISED analysis, the average mileage of consumers is 8.8 kilometers per day. If the fee of online taxi rose to Rp3,100 per kilometer from previously Rp2,200 per kilometers, each consumer will spend more Rp7,920 per day.
The former head of the Indonesian Consumer`s Foundation (YLKI), Zumrotin K Susilo, seconded Rumayya's statement, adding that price is always a vital consideration for consumers in choosing a service or product. If the tariff of online taxi raises dramatically, consumers will probably utilize private vehicle, and that will pack city roads.

Erectile dysfunction or impotence
Inability to have an maintained erection that is firm enough for coitus.
Erectile dysfunction could be classified as primary and secondary
Primary Erectile Dysfunction:-
A man who was never able to intercourse is known as a case of Primary Erectile Dysfunction.
Secondary Erectile Dysfunction:-
One who was able to do sex earlier many times but after that there were problems in erection is known as a case of Secondary Erectile Dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can occur at any age and can assume many different terms. Total absence of Erection Infrequent more typically made with Erectile Dysfunction, partial erections that are too weak for vaginal Insertion. Sometimes there are firm erections, that quickly disappear if intercourse is attempted. In other instances, a man with Erectile Dysfunction maybe able to have normal erections under some circumstances but not others. For example, some men with Erectile Dysfunction have no problem doing masturbation, but cannot get erections during sexual activity with partner.
Other men have solid erection during extra marital sex but only feeble erection with their spouses.
So most of the time secondary erection most of time due to psychological stress but we must rule out some possibilities of secondary disease like diabetes and hypothyroidism.
So, Any disease may influence the vascularity like in smoker. Smoking is one the importance factor made bad influence on vascularity could be a cause of erectile dysfunction.
Ayurveda has a great scope to treat Erectile Dysfunction as ayurvedic drugs keeps one's mood elevated and improve vascularity and interest. One of the branch of ayurveda, specially deals with sexuality is known as 'vaji karna' and here vaji means horse and karna means like horse. Total meaning is that to prepare a man so potent that one could make sex like a horse. A horse who is well know for his sex capability.
Acharya Charak the most ancient one the school of medicine has discussed lots of preparation for vajikarna (Aphrodisiacs). Why one should use aphrodisiacs drugs as in society one conscious person should use aphrodisiac regularly because virtue, wealth, pleasure and fame depends on it.
A woman who is beautiful, youthful endowed and auspicious features submissive is regarded as the best aphrodisiac.
Instead of all these things ayurveda explains lot of herbal as well as mineral drug to improve quality of sex life.
Dr. Jain offers the best Ayurvedic treatment for all kinds of Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence as he is well-known and one of the best ayurvedic doctors for erectile dysfunction in Delhi. He has mastered himself in treating the people who are suffering from any kind of Erectile Dysfunction/Impotence. Many of the patients have benefitted themselves with the premier Ayurvedic treatment for Erectile Dysfunction of Dr. Shailesh Jain.

One thing's for sure, working may be fun and sometimes addicting but, it will always be the sister of stress.
There's no better way of finding happiness than to discover yourself amidst exploring the world. Thousands of different scenarios yet collectively the same problem: time.

We all know that you got a family to support and maybe you got the stamina and natural energy to keep things at place. But being happy does not end there and the feeling of contentment is never permanent. One way or another, you'll end up loosing your age and you will fail to experience the fun things life has to offer to you.
As the saying goes, "There's no better time than now." So go ahead, and explore the world around you! We only have on life to live so here's your guide on how to address those excuses that cause your work-life balance blues!

'Philippines to miss growth targets in 2018 and 2019′
Sun Life of Canada (Philippines) Inc. expects the Philippines to miss its economic growth target for this year and next.
In an interview, Sun Life chief investments officer Michael Enriquez said his company adjusted its gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for the Philippines to 6.1 percent for 2018 and 6.4 percent for 2019, down from the previous estimates of 6.4 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively.
These are both below the government's 6.5 to 6.9 percent target range for 2018, and the seven to eight percent target for 2019.
Enriquez said the projections were adjusted due to slower consumption figures as a result of high inflation in the first three quarters.
On the other hand, Enriquez said the government is projected to finally hit the lower range of its economic growth target by 2020, with GDP seen to expand by seven percent.
According to Enriquez, Sun Life has a more bullish outlook for 2020 as most of the government's infrastructure projects are expected to start actual construction by then.
"There are a lot of actual projects that have been bided out, but actual construction won't start until probably a year after. There is a lot of projects but the actual construction (translated) to real spending won't actually happen until
The company official cited the Bulacan International Airport and the rehabilitation project for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), which he said have already been approved or bided out, but might take a while to start actual construction.
Meanwhile, Enriquez said inflation is expected to start slowing down for the rest of the year, with indications that it has already peaked in September.
"From the peak of 6.7 percent in September, we have been seeing inflation adjusting lower. Our expectation is about 6.3 percent for November, this is within consensus," the company official said.
"And moreso, the important thing than that is the direction of inflation. We're seeing inflation already slowing and in fact, probably has already peaked. This is a change from our previous forecast where we saw inflation worsening probably towards December," he said.
He said inflation may have started easing mainly due to declining oil prices in the international market.
"And the other thing that's crucial here is the government has already passed the Rice Tariffication Bill," Enriquez added.
Due to these factors, Enriquez said inflation may finally normalise next year and settle within the government's two to four percent target.

Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTO
Edited by Geert Van Calster and Denise Prévost
Chapter 21: Standard of review of health and environmental regulations by WTO panels
Lukasz Gruszczynski
The issue of the applicable standard of review in health and environment-related trade disputes has recently become prominent in scholarly discussions. While earlier research tended to concentrate on specific substantive requirements of WTO law, more recent scholarship has turned its attention to this specific procedural question. This shift is most probably a result of developments in WTO case law. The applicable standard of review had a direct impact on the outcome of the EC – Biotech Products dispute. It was also one of the major issues in the Appellate Body ruling in US/Canada – Continued Suspension and in the more recent Australia – Apples case. The latter report demonstrated that the standard of review, at least in the context of the WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement), remains ambiguous and will most probably generate further controversies in future WTO disputes.

Hi smurf collector or smurf fanatic,
Welcome to my smurf website and webshop. I'm Roelof, a passionate smurf collector from the Netherlands.
When I was 6 years old (a long time ago) I started collecting smurfs. Growing up as teenager, my smurfs were still an important part of my life. Today my private smurf collection has around 3000 pvc smurfs and many other cool smurf items like products of Fariboles, Pixi, Plastoy, Leblon Delienne, smurf merchandising (smurfendice) etc etc.
Welcome video Bluedwarfs.com:
Over the years, I collected a lot of smurf items (mainly PVC) from all over the world. I met many international smurf collectors on the internet and at smurf fairs in the Netherlands and Belgium (see the Dutch smurf collectors club for more details). Some of them became my friends. In 2014 I started the Bluedwarfs webshop, because people kept asking what I had in stock and for what prices I would sell etc. It was time for this new challenge: Starting a smurf webshop with a wide range of PVC smurfs and smurf merchandising for a reasonable price. Luckily for me, I have a girlfriend (from Greece) who has become enthusiastic for the smurfs as well. Some of the advantages of my webshop are:
*To save money due to Ebay fees, we advise you to buy directly from Bluedwarfs.com where we can offer you a lower price for our smurfs
Our products are grouped in the following main categories:
But we have more than just smurfs. Below we list our range in Schleich figurines:
Some other comic figurines:
I hope that you are getting as enthusiastic as I am. However, if you have any smurf related questions or if you are looking for a specific smurf item (the very very expensive I don't have for sale unfortunately), please feel free to contact me. For members of social media: Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for the latest special orders and news or subscribe to our newsletter! I hope to help you complete your collection of smurfs, but I'm sure: You will never make it complete! Do you have a smurf collection for sale? We buy your smurfs as well. Feel free to contact us.
Smurf regards,
(smurf collector and creator of Bluedwarfs.com)
P.s. Warning: If you visit my website, we are not responsible if you buy too much smurf, Schleich and comic stuff! ;-)

With their last mission deemed a relative failure by Bo, Taylor, Vanessa, and Nuke are reaching their breaking point; feeling more and more used than part of a team, fraction lines are beginning to grow even wider. Meanwhile, Shannon becomes closer to Seven, while drifting further from Alex. Marko and Bo discuss how to fix their slowly fracturing team, but will their solution breach the gaps between the group or only drive them all further apart?
Thank you for suggesting a theme! It will undergo our approval process shortly.

Here we go… you asked for it… and even if it took some time to convince an old dog to learn new tricks… here is my 1st video tutorial.
Before going into animation it's helpful to create some key poses to give you an idea what the character is supposed to look like when we animate him later. For this game the important parts will be the run, jump, shot, get hit and die poses.

Video tutorial are a good idea! I hope it will be some on creating animation frames.
Yes!! Love the video. Hope you do more. Would love to see your workflow for the creating the animation frames. Awesome!
It's incredible, just a few movements and you get the animation. Great video!
Very useful… Thanks Chris!!
Hey Chris, thanks a lot for making this video. It really helped me to watch how you use Inkscape – I picked up a few tips I wasn't aware of, such as the use of pivot points with grouping which is easier to pick up in a video. Length was great, and content very easy to follow and helpful.
Your tutorials are good for characters that are relatively simple in terms of joints and limbs. I'm looking for a tutorial for characters that are more complex like anime-type characters, even if they look like chibi characters. I can't find it anywhere, and hope you could help with this because I'm really lost as to how to design the bits and pieces so they fit together without looking too artificial.
I mean, especially if the character has to turn or make a round-kick or this sort of stuff…

CIO Bulletin
Lenovo has set a whole new platform for data centers with the launch of ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile brands. A new set of servers, storage, networking and software defined systems are also to be included here. Lenovo has designed these systems in a way to be flexible as an enterprise's workloads change. The launch is going to give Lenovo a foothold in big data, high performance computing, artificial intelligence and high cloud workloads.
Any existing infrastructure can be plugged into the ThinkSystem, which will adapt to the workloads. On the other hand, ThinkAgile is a series of pre-built and pre-tested systems that are automated. There are also ThinkAgile SX rack systems which are for the Microsoft Azure Stack. Lenovo has also launched a series of switches for the networking front, which are ThinkSystem NE1032T, NE1072T and others.
Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang believes that there will be a fourth industrial revolution which will revolve around intelligent transformation and artificial intelligence. Lenovo plans to be the supplier for these revolution enterprises with smart infrastructure and expanded portfolio. What Lenovo is aiming is for is every device to be smart and carry out two-prong strategy called 'device + cloud' and 'infrastructure + cloud'.
When you look at the whole picture, ThinkSystem brand will include servers, storage and networking. And ThinkAgile is focused on software-defined data centers integrated and converged systems. This means that Lenovo just launched 14 server platforms, 7 storage offerings and 5 network switches! However, here's the catch! Lenovo will be competing with Dell Technologies, which also has similar end-to-end approach. How far Lenovo will succeed is something one must look out for.

Tell us what you think about this story.
Tottenham Hotspur will become the latest team to attempt to stop a rejuvenated Manchester United side when they welcome the Red Devils to Wembley on Sunday.
Interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won all five of his games at the United helm so far - and could become the first manager in the club's history to make it six in a row - but Spurs are also in good form having won 15 of their last 18 outings across all competitions.
The match also contains an intriguing sub-plot with Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino facing the club he has been heavily tipped to take over at the end of the season.
Here, Sports Mole selects a combined XI from both squads, using only the players available this weekend.
Manchester United's defence may have been leaky this season, but it could have been even worse without David de Gea, whose reputation as one of the world's best remains intact as he beats World Cup-winning captain Hugo Lloris into the team.
It is an all-Spurs defence in front of him, though, with Kieran Trippier an easy choice ahead of Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia and Diogo Dalot at right-back.
The opposite flank is one of the tougher positions in the team with Ben Davies and Luke Shaw providing competition, but Danny Rose has been preferred by Pochettino of late and so just about gets the nod.
Chris Smalling and Jan Vertonghen are likely to miss this match through injury, while Eric Bailly remains suspended, limiting the centre-back options. United target Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez have forged a decent partnership in defence, though, and are also fairly simple picks ahead of Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof.
Nemanja Matic has endured a hugely disappointing season by his own standards but has improved enough under Solskjaer to earn his place in this team ahead of Ander Herrera, Fred or Harry Winks - although his cause is helped by injuries to Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele too.
Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of United's change in management has been Paul Pogba, though, with the Frenchman beginning to show the type of form we knew he was capable of. Pogba has been passed fit for this match and, while he has thrived in a more advanced role under Solskjaer, the quality ahead of him sees him drop back into the holding two in this XI.
Sunday will be the in-form Son Heung-min's final match for Spurs before jetting off to the Asian Games and his performances over the past month or so make him a sure-fire pick, while Christian Eriksen on the opposite flank remains one of the best playmakers in the entire division.
The likes of Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez miss out in the all-Spurs front four, with Dele Alli filling in at number 10 behind Harry Kane, who leads the line ahead of some strong competition from United.
Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku have both hit fine goalscoring form under Solskjaer, but Rashford is understood to have been told that he is the main striker and in a straight shootout between him and Kane, we have to go with Kane every time.

Zonta Gawler Inc is a proud supporter of The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia). We arrange a number of assembly days each year and invite community members to join us in making up the kits.
The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia)
The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia) is a voluntary, not for profit NGO that provides birthing kits and education in clean birthing practices to women who give birth at home in remote regions of the developing world. The aim of the Foundation is to reduce the incidence of infant and maternal mortality and morbidity, and it has no religious or political affiliations.
The United Nations (W.H.O.) estimates that 585,000 women die annually in childbirth. Developing countries account for 99% of these deaths. For every woman who dies in childbirth, another 30 women incur injuries and infections - many of which are often painful, disabling, embarrassing and lifelong.
There are ways to help reduce these statistics, including:
- Preventing unwanted pregnancies
- Improving antenatal care
- Improving capacity for dealing with obstetric complications
- Providing clean birthing conditions
The Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia) has researched, developed and is now supplying BIRTHING KITS that provide for clean birthing conditions. 60 million women give birth each year with the assistance of a Traditional Birth Attendant or with no assistance at all. These women need a birthing kit.
A Birthing Kit works by providing the 7 cleans required for a clean birth enviroment:
Seven Cleans
- Clean birth site - preventing delivery onto the floor
- Clean hands - to prevent the birth attendant transmitting germs to mother and baby
- Clean ties - to prevent bleeding from the umbilical cord for mother and baby.
- Clean razor - to reduce infection caused by other implements
- Clean gauze - to wipe away birth canal secretions from the eyes, which decreases future eye infections
- Clean umbilical cord - washing and drying the stumps prevents infection
- Clean perineum
What is a Birthing Kit?
- 1m x 1m plastic sheet for the mother to lie on
- a piece of soap
- 2 gloves
- 5 gauze squares
- 3 cord ties
- 1 sterile scalpel blade
If you would like to donate to this project, or be a volunteer at an assembly day, please contact us
