Besides Tilda Swinton, it seems that Olivia Colman and Hayley Atwell are also up there in the popular vote.
There is a search going on right now for a new Lord of Time for one of the most popular science fiction TV series of all times, Doctor Who, and the fans of the TV series want the role to go to a woman this time.
The Herald has revealed the odds that indicate the fans favorite for the famous role, and most preferences seem to indicate actress Tilda Swinton ( 56 years old ).
Actresses Kris Marshall ( Death in Paradise ), Olivia Colman ( Broadchurch ) and Maxime Peake are also favorites to get the Doctor Who role.
However it seems that the producers are also considering Michelle Gomez ( who plays Missy in the TV show ) but also the Captain America star, Hayley Atwell.
Peter Capaldi, who replaced Matt Smith in 2013 announced he is quitting along with the producer of the show, Steven Moffat. The 10th Doctor Who season will mark its debut on April 15, 2018.
Doctor Who fans have been advocating for a female leading role for a long time now and Steven Moffat hinted that it may be a possibility.
In any case, it remains to be seen whom they will choose as Doctor Who in the future.
Who do you want to see play Doctor Who in the following seasons ?

What are the best music streaming platforms?
While writing these very words we're listening to some pretty wicked trip-hop beats on one of the music streaming platforms. To tell the truth, there's very little we can do without music. Come to think of it – is there anything in life that can't have music in it? Can you imagine a single event, that would sound better without sound?
Luckily, wherever human goes, he brings technology with him. Sharp. Therefore we- the human (race) are provided with music streaming platforms!
Well, we've made quite a list – 10 platforms offering enough music to fill every moment of your life with plenty suggestions that will be suggested to the people attending your funeral. We are trying to compare them according to the amount of music they have and how much it'll hurt your wallet when you decide to buy yourself some of that access!
#1 Spotify
Kinda obvious to start with that- the most popular of 'em all. But don't let this cloud your judgement.
Spotify has over 30 million songs with over 20 000 songs added daily. Nice, considered the pay wall of the premium membership is only 9.99$/ month high. It'd be perfect if it had any Tool's songs. It doesn't.
#2 Google Play
It's praised for enabling users access to more than just streamed content. Google (lets you press) Play 40 million times for a new song. This one will cost 'ya 9.99$ per month.
#3 Pandora
With 1,5 million track in its libraries, Pandora boasts most customisation options and a 9.99$ per month subscription fee. Fun fact: it costs 12.99$/ month if you buy it through iTunes. Like anyone's gonna do it.
#4 iHeartRadio
Touching name. 15 million music tracks, from which you'll surely find something romantic, to celebrate the moment. Just don't spoil the date by asking to split the 9.99$/month bill.
#5 8tracks
This one's tricky. The idea is to create a social network with streaming user-curated playlists up to 8 tracks each (that's why it's "8tracks"!) It has 6.5 million tracks. To quote the president famous for a bad hair day every day: 'Sounds good. Doesn't work.' Well, he's wrong again. It works but cost 25$ for 6-month premium access. Ouch.
#6 Amazon Prime Music.
Amazon delivers (get it?) 40 million tracks and cost 9.99$/month. Alright, the Amazon joke was so bad we're not gonna say any more about it. Sorry.
#7 Apple Music
40 million tracks for only 9.99$ monthly. Best offer Apple gave us since forever. Other than that the service is like any other Apple product- you either love it or hate it.
#8 Deezer
We were hoping to unravel the mystery of the naming. We failed. Deezer, on the other hand, is doing pretty well, with 40 million tracks for only 9.99$ a month.
#9 Tidal
Has 48.5 million tracks, including Jay-Z (you decide whether it's a plus or not) and a 9.99$ for the standard subscription and 25.99$ for premium… No wonder no one wanted to even write about it. A platform for Jay-Z's fans…(only?)
#10 SoundCloud
This one is more like a content streaming platform. It was made for musicians share their music (unlike Jay-Z) for free for the greater good of the industry. Soon it turned out to be a great promotional tool for the artists and thus the beginning of streaming/ sharing music experience. It has 125 million track for 5$/month.
We still don't know which one is better. We can all agree that we'll agree on the platform that will acquire Tool's tracks. Other than that, we can't think of any other criteria. Hope we shed some light you, though. Good luck finding your favourite!

It's been a very warm week. May brings the opening of public waterslides in local parks (oh my!), occasional thunderstorms, and... naturally, tons of motorcycles. Lately, I've seen so many people cruising on their Harleys, rolling into the university, zooming through downtown. Seems as though everyone's kept their bike tucked away till now. Definitely a shift from the snowy, icy months.
Which reminds me: I think people's relationships to weather are fascinating. In fiction, weather often functions as an aspect of setting. It can be major or incredibly minor; sometimes, it's even absent or invisible. But when properly utilized, weather goes a long way in grounding a story and persuading you of where you are and when you are. Every place has its climate.* Which isn't to say that weather is everything -- "too much" weather can clog a story and annoy your reader -- but it can be useful to consider what your story's weather is like.
Some questions for you or your characters: do you carry an umbrella with you at all times? Do you own an ice scraper? Do you know what an earthquake feels like? Have you been near a tornado? Do you, too, own a motorcycle or moped?
Have you read any writing where the use of weather was remarkable? Please share with us!
P.S. 20 days till the 1/2 K Prize deadline!
* Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that the "extreme southern" part of Indiana is subtropical! I'm not sure if Bloomington qualifies, but it's at least near-subtropical.

The day of reckoning has arrived. What most of us (outside of the UK) feared has come to pass. The British have voted in favor of BREXIT and are going it alone. The first knee-jerk reaction from many may be to start hiding gold nuggets and diamonds in some secret place in case the world collapse. Others will tear open their mattress and pull out their old Deutsch Marks and Francs. Yet even other will think let's just close the tunnel and be done with it. Of course, diehard Euros will launch doom and gloom threats of "don't you come crawling back".
All of these thoughts are the rantings of a person on 10 cup of coffee, a night of nail biting and a bucket of hopes flush down the toilet. The truth is we are all in mourning. While we did not want it, it is now history in the making and will dominate our lives like faraway wars, financial crises, and refugees…we might have some British refugees are selves who decide to stay and ask for asylum!
The moment of truth is upon Europe. The idea that we are a family of nations bound by a common purpose will now be tested. What exactly is that purpose and what is the meaning of family? Is the EU an end in itself or a means to an end? As I see it, the EU is a vehicle that seeks to ensure the rule of law, peace and prosperity across Europe first, on its periphery second, and finally around the world. If we can agree on that then it begs the question is the EU post-modernist enough to come out stronger because of this decision. Can the UK follow its path and still play a constructive and welcoming role? how will the EU work with the UK in NATO, UN, etc.
Those of you who know me, know that I was a very rambunctious teenager. I left my family several times and went off on my own to see what I could do. Every time I came back, my family always welcomed me. They made room for me, set an extra place at the table, and reminded me of what the family rules were. Never once was I punished or threatened for going off and experimenting. It might be too simplistic for some, but this is my understanding of family. Let's not punish the young generation for the decision of their elders.
If this referendum is the beginning of the end of the EU as we know it, it is already doomed. The referendum only lays bare the naked truth that there is a growing and sizable dissatisfaction with the way decisions are made in the EU, the role of the European Commission, and the lack of accountability. The British decision to leave was not an intentional decision to hurt Europe, it was the desire to make their own decisions without having to consult 27 other countries.
How it will turn out for the UK is anyone's guess. It could be that everything blows over and the UK becomes a center of innovation and growth that pulls the EU with it. It could also be that after a few years on its own, the UK realizes that actually it was better off in the EU with 27 other family members' opinion and they reapply to get in.
In a worst case scenario, there might not be an EU to go back to and herein lies the scariest part for me. Before the EU existed Europe was a region full of strife, dominated by fascists governments and war. The young people today do not have any idea of what life in such a world might be like. With Germany and Russia increasing military spending, rightwing governments on the rise in Eastern and Central Europe, and anti-Muslim and Jewish sentiments growing across Europe, the UK referendum might go down in history as the start of a new phase of nationalist conflicts in Europe, and such phases have never boded well for the UK, for Europeans, and for global peace. it is not in anyone#s interest o have an unstable EU or UK. At this point, we can do one of several things:
- Bury our heads in the sand and continue life as usual ignoring dissatisfaction across the EU;
- Build up fortress EU across keeping the UK out of the proverbial EU-sandbox;
- Hug the UK and pull them tighter showing them they are European even out of the EU; or
- Seize the moment to reform the EU and get on with our building an EU where every European country finds a home regardless of what speed of integration they choose.
For me there is only one path: pack a lunch and a juice for our British friends for their long journey ahead, address the democratic deficit in the EU, and slow down integration to allow Europe to weather both the UK loss and all of the other crises we have experience. Not every country can join the EU and the EU can prosper very nicely without the UK. If in a few years after careful consideration the UK were to hold a new referendum and vote to rejoin…how fabulous would that be? I would have only one word for that…fierce.
A family is only as strong as it can absorb the challenges it faces while still remaining a family. When I left for Europe, my family was angry. They felt abandoned and for a long time it was difficult but with time, they came to see that despite the distance and different paths we were still a family. When we need each other we are there for each other.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has admitted he has "no idea" what Lionel Messi's future holds. There were reports out of England at the weekend that Manchester City are preparing a staggering £200 milion deal for the Argentine ace.
City have been given a confidence boost in their pursuit of Messi due to a contract stand-off between club and player in Catalonia.
The Etihad club are prepared to pay over £100million to sign him and pay him more than £500,000 a week on a long-term deal.
When asked about City's interest and whether Barcelona are expecting to receive a bid for the forward, Enrique said:
"I don't know. I have no idea."
Messi missed Barcelona's match against Malaga at the weekend through illness but Enrique expects him to be fit for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Celtic.
"I only saw him this morning," Enrique said. "It wasn't the best conditions to assess whether he is ready to play, but Leo is always ready to play.
"Lionel is always ready to play and I'm sure he will be ready to face Celtic. He is 100% and eager to give the best version of himself."

...And in the darkness bind them
Two evil empires. Two leaders seeking world domination through political manipulation, deprivation of human rights, warfare, and the suspension of civil liberties. Sauron had The Nine. George has Halliburton. Orcs. Blackwater Security. Gollum. Dick Cheney.
In both stories, the bodies pile up like cordwood.
The demise of one ended The Third Age. The demise of the other will end The Second Error.

This is a poem from some one's past that is published and I probably will get in the dog house for sharing it. The author is very special to me and the poem is not about me so no worries. Just hope I don't get into too much trouble. This poem is copyright to the author. No Reproduction.
"A New Start"
There was a time when I could fly-- I swear it
My heart was full of love, and I was content
But today, I am lonely
And only the shadow of the dark being that
Symbolized my one true love is left
All that was pure has been eradicated
I am filled with regret-- with longing
The blissfulness in which I used to
Strip and dive is no longer present
It has fled-- along with my sanity
My love for him never ceased, and when it
Seemed as if I could bear no more--
He vanished
Was it a cry against twilight?
Was I too trusting in the mild-eyed stars?
I have learned not to boast about tomorrow
I don't even know what today might bring
I have learned to look toward the white
Scarves of the clouds for hope, and this is
As good a place as any to make a new start
Amanda L. Hollon
For those that do not know my wife, she truly is a talented woman. She is a poet, a wonderful singer with an angelic voice that she tries to hide, a loving mother, creative, can sew anything, makes crafts, and to me her most important talent is she is a very loving, and supportive wife. If you don't know Amanda you are missing a great chance to meet one of God's children full of love and grace. Amanda is very humble and does not boast about any of her talents. She would rather hide it than to gain attention for it. She is truly one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. I know I am her husband and a bit biased, but I speak all these things as not only her husband but her friend. I can say that being married to her is truly a gift from God. He allowed me to meet one of His daughters and to take her as mine. He has given me a great honor and I hope I can only live up to His commands as a husband and a father myself.
I Truly love Amanda with all of my heart and I am glad that she is my wife and my best friend. She is truly a friend that a person needs. She knows how to bring me to my senses when I get out of control and she knows how to comfort me when I am at my lowest. When I am in tears feeling the pain that this world brings and that this disease throws at me. She gave me the courage and she re-kindled my soul when I was totally lost in despair. I was in that dark hospital room not eating and was ready to accept death if it was God's will, but it wasn't. Amanda reminded me of our love and the love of our daughter and got me to start eating again. I feel that the good Lord worked through her that day. She gave me hope that I had felt I lost. Amanda, I love you and thank the Lord for you.

Cry, the Beloved Country is a social protest against the structures of the society that would later give rise to apartheid. Paton attempts to create an unbiased and objective view of the dichotomies it entails: he depicts whites as affected by "native crime" while blacks suffer from social instability and moral issues due to the breakdown of the tribal system. It shows many of the problems with South Africa such as the degrading of the land reserved for the natives, which is sometimes considered to be the main theme, the disintegration of the tribal community, native crime, and the flight to urban areas.
Another prevalent theme in Cry, the Beloved Country is the detrimental effects of fear on the characters and society of South Africa as indicated in the following quotation from the narrator in Chapter 12:.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}
Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.
Paton makes frequent use of literary and linguistic devices such as microcosms, intercalary chapters and dashes instead of quotation marks for dialogue to indicate the start of speech acts to portray the devastating conditions in South Africa.

Jack Neal Reno Gazette - Pasadena Roof Orchestra USA tour
But as good as they all are, and they all are terrific, the catalyst that moves the Pasadena Roof Orchestra from first rate to memorable is the brash magnetism and suave exterior of singer and dancer Duncan Galloway.
Duncan Galloway Quartet- Wow! What a great evening, a complete sell out…the quartet were brilliant, with singer Duncan Galloway the piano player the musical director for Bryan ferry and the bass play from Acker Bilks band we shouldn't be surprised….we heard music from Cole Porter, amd Irving berlin with hit songs that were sung by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra , a great evenng enjoyed by all.
Frankfurt Presse - DGQ
He doesn't sing and he doesn't play saxophone, he lives the music and transformed the club into a swinging jazz club with a breath of the big wide world. Duncan is not any singer, he is the frontman of the world famous Pasadena Roof Orchestra. He has a wide range in every single piece wether rocking as Elvis with' Blue suede Shoes' swinging with 'Come Fly with me' or soft and feeling with 'Georgia on my Mind' where he also plays a mellow toned saxophone.
The man also achieves a version of 'Sex Bomb' which is even better that the original Tom Jones. With 'I've grown accustomed to her face' as Professor Higgins he shows that he is a little nearer to Eliza than the film with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison would suggest.
Stuttgarter Wochenblatt - Magic Swing
Duncan Galloway reminds one of Fred Astaire the he steps and swings onto the stage, charming and elegant - a British gentleman. The entertainer shows what it meant in the 30's and 40's to present a show .In' Magic Swing' Duncan Galloway takes the flair of those days and swirls through a very entertaining show.
Stuttgarter Zeitung - Magic Swing
Magic Swing was a Variety Show in Stuttgart designed around the compere Duncan Galloway. He made his name on the big band scene as frontman of the Pasadena Roof Orchestra. He leads the show and introduces the artists in the best gentlemanly manner.
Wiesbadener Kurier- Jazz im Hof 2009
The charming Briton Duncan Galloway, who was compared in the USA to Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra belongs to the greatest jazz stars in the world. Scarcely a jazz festival is without him.
Washington Gazette- Duncan is a treasure, with a warm velvety baritone modelled unashamedly on Bing Crosby that made practically every lady's heart flutter.

Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback has landed himself in hot water with white fans after refusing to stand for the National Anthem during a recent game.
He was protesting the way black people are oppressed in the United States and he did what he felt was right stating:
a�?I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.a�?
Followers of Kaepernick on Instagram and other social media outlets have long since seen that he is upset by what is going on in America with many of his posts being politically charged.
White people on Twitter seem to be the most upset by Kaepernicks actions or lack thereof. Many seem to be perfectly willing to throw out his right to follow the Constitution, they would rather see him nailed to a cross.
Some have tweeted that he doesna��t have the right to be so upset because he is not oppressed making tens of million of dollars a year. Others have gone to far as to call him out for not being a real man.

This very soon to be released netbook really has me excited. It's a tablet pc, its a netbook with a keyboard. It features a unique swivel screen design allowing it to instantly transform.
It should be released in the USA during early December at a price of USD$549. No word when it will make it to Australia, but I doubt it will be much later. (providing stocks hold up)
The base model will feature a dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, 2GB of RAM, a Broadcom Crystal HD graphics, 250GB of storage, and Windows 7 Home Premium.
The little tablet pc is now already available from the Microsoft online store with the speaker dock an additional $49 when purchased together.
Check out the Dell TV advert on YouTube.
Is it a nifty alternative to the Apple iPad? Well that depends on intended usage. The Duo does not have access to thousands of low priced apps like the iPad, nor does it feature a smooth action complete finger touch user interface.
What the Duo does give you is a netbook which can be switched into a nice little tablet that has quick access icons to movies, music and the internet. The JBL speaker doc gives it a bonus feature of being a mobile multi user media device. Since it runs Windows 7 it will tie in seamlessly with windows home groups and file sharing environments.
It will run the gamut of standard home user and business tasks such as document creation using Microsoft Office (word, excel, outlook, etc) without any issue, but keep in mind this is a netbook.
The preliminary 'hands-on' reviews are describing the touch interface as sluggish, however these are early testing devices and improvements may have been made by the time it gets to market. So for now, schools still on out this one.

Every writer will, at some point in their literary journey, experience one of those dark days where their head is overcrowded with demons, their draft novel sucks and everyone on Twitter is tweeting about their amazing literary successes.
When this happens the true writer knows that quitting is not an option. Being creative is woven into a writer's DNA. If you opened up the vein of a writer you would most probably see letters, words and semi colons floating about. Writing is not something a true writer can give up.
So when our literary world gets gloomy, when we have eaten all the chocolate we can lay our hands on, when we can cry no more, when all creative hope is lost – our only option left is to pray!
I like to think that there is a 'Writer's Prayer' – something that will calm our emotional state and give us a few minutes of quiet reflection.
It doesn't matter who you pray to or what you pray to. I believe that the simple act of closing your eyes and saying a Writer's Prayer can bring you, the troubled writer, some much-needed creative peace.
Trust me on this – it actually works!
Here is my version of 'The Writer's Prayer'
Thank you for challenging my creative passion today.
This prayer helps me to remember that I am on a literary journey and on this journey there are going to be good days and bad days.
I know that I am not alone as there are other writers out there, who are also being challenged by their creative passion.
Please give me the strength to get through this tough creative time and to ignore the voices of my writing demons.
I must remember that today is not a refection of my creative worth.
This prayer acts as a reminder to me, even though I am suffering I am doing what I love – writing. There are some people in this world who never get to pursue their creative passion and this is why I should appreciate the bad times as well as the good times.
Thank you for blessing me with my half finished second draft of a novel. Yes it does feel like an ugly duckling, but if I give it time and focus it will one day turn into something beautiful.
Every piece of creative work that I am blessed with is teaching me something. Even though I can't quite see it today – my draft novel is trying to teach me something.
Thank you for making me see that I am still growing and developing as a writer.
I am hoping this prayer will bring some peace to my creative world.
For noting: this prayer has been road tested during a bad literary time over the weekend. I actually felt calmer.
What would be in your Writer's Prayer?
I hope you all have a great day!

The Real Estate Differences between Full-Service, Discount, or "For Sale by Owner"
That may be a bit harsh, but you get limited services, most revolving around the marketing of the house, and then you do the open houses, the showings, the price negotiations, and the rest. The agent then gives back up to half of his share of the commission when the sale is completed.
Let's go back to that $200,000 example.
That said, you might consider a discount situation a bit like looking at an a la carte menu at a restaurant. If you purchase a full meal, it is typically cheaper than buying everything piecemeal. But if all you want is the pieces, then a la carte works fine. The issue in real estate is simple; plenty of people like the idea of a discount, but they wind up needing -- and ultimately paying for -- the full service.
For buyers, the system works roughly the same way. The agent gives you a listing of the available homes in the area, and the comparative data and other information to help you bid effectively, but you set up appointments, negotiate the contracts, and all of the rest. If you do all of the work, you get to split the commission.
In both cases, however, what you really are working on is a pay-as-you-go system. You get the full split of the commission if you do all the work; if you want the agent to step in and arrange for inspections, for example, that'll cost you. Talk to your banker? Fee for that, too.
That's not necessarily bad. You might be able to save money doing a lot of legwork and leaving the tasks you dislike to someone else. Just find out up front how much those "extras" will cost you and what, exactly, you are being charged for.
The Difference between Brokers and AgentsIn terms of handling the purchase or sale of a piece of property, there is no real difference between a broker and an agent. A real estate broker, however, had to first qualify as an agent, taking the requisite classes and passing a licensing exam; moving up to broker requires additional class work, a certain amount of experience in the business and another test.
By earning a broker's license, an individual earns the right to work independently and to open or operate a real estate office. An agent, meanwhile, must work for a broker.
Just because the broker is the Big Kahuna at the office does not make him a better advisor than one of his agents; plenty of agents have no desire to run an office, and plenty of brokers become office-bound and lose some of their feel for the community. You should worry more about an advisor's knowledge of the community than about the hierarchy in the real estate office.
That said, an agent can also be a person who simply handles property on the side, who does this job part-time, and who barely keeps up his standing. Either way, worry less about the credential and more about the person's experience, know-how, and understanding of the area.

Hello, thank-you for stopping by, we've had amazing blogs so far and we are coming near the end of our 2 weeks tour, I hope to make it entertaining and interesting as well. I wanted to be part of clan, to be able to met people, talk about books and anything else that comes up. I wanted to be able to share my creative side, share my ideas to the team. Being picked to be in the water clan was the best news I've had in a long time. This experienced has been something unforgettable; I've had the best time so far and many more to come. I've met people from all over the world, learnt something about them or where they live. Places that I wish to visit one day. I'll be friends with those girls for a long time. As a whole we are a diverse, helping one another, come up with amazing ideas and most of all we have fun.
First Part called Ship Ahoy Witches
Anyone who doesn't' know, I like to express who I am, which is doing arts & craft. I have chosen this time around I was going to do a Photo College but not any that you usually see. My first idea was to do a ship based around the Truthwitch story but that idea was fading very fast. Frustrated that the idea was working, I ended up coming up with the water symbol as my college. The ship college stilled sailed on. Also thank-you mum for the help also 🙂
Ship College
Second part called asked Maree
Our clan has set up a reading challenge, if you're having any trouble looking for a paranormal read or a murder mystery I have the book for you. Although it isn't water book but it fits in the elements of Aether and Void. I'm interviewing my mother about her debut novel released in 2013, sequel coming out 2016. She isn't a well know author, she is trying to get her book out there like any new author. At the end of the day it is up to you to pick up this book, try something new, you may enjoy it.
Synopsis of Willow Hall
This is a story that will tug your heart strings. After being abandoned by his mother at his birth he is taken to an orphanage haunted by the ghosts of its past. He is befriended by Tilly the resident ghost who only Darcy can see. Darcy succeeds his escape from the orphanage taking some of Tilly's memories with him. He realizes later that Tilly followed him to his house. Her ulterior motive is for Darcy to expose a murder that happened in the building before it was an orphanage. At the same time Darcy must deal with the people who have made his life a living hell.
Q: What inspired you to write Willow Hall?
A: I had a story in mind for a long time about an orphanage environment. I got stuck for ideas until I stumbled on a clipping about an author who actually lived his early years in an orphanage. I bought his book and requested that I use some of his experience in my book, although his wasn't about ghosts. We have become close friends since.
Q: What's the hardest part writing your books?
A:Reaching a dead end. Time consumed in research.
Q: Has any of your own experiences reflected in your writing?
A:Yes, I was educated by nuns in a Catholic primary school. The discipline was brutal although some of the nuns seemed maternal. Orphanages were also run by nuns, however, they were more regimental and cruel to their students. The story about that reflects the cruelty the children experienced by the nuns.
Q: How did you begin writing? Did you intend to become an author, or do you have a specific reason or reasons for writing a book?
A: I always loved making up stories and characters. What urged me on to write a book was when I attended a creative writing class at my local university. I needed to see that I was on the right track where it came to write a book. I also read lots of material on the subject and joined writing groups online and a local group in my community.
Q: What's more important: characters or plot?
A: In my opinion I would say both, however the first important aspect is working on the plot then creating characters to fit the story plot.
Q: What do you want people to take away from your book, is there any hidden message you want people to grasp.
A:That there is good and evil everywhere. Sadness, love, loneliness, survival; the list goes on but what really stands out is how a person can be resilient and grow up from a bad experience and still be a good person.
Q: What's the earliest memory you have of writing a story?
A: Mainly my childhood. I wrote an essay for my class assignment. My teacher kept it because she liked it so much.
Q: What is your least favourite of the writing process?
A: It's having a mental block and stumbling out of a nightmare and feeling like I've come to a complete stand still and having to work my way out. Its the time wasted in finding ideas that strike me as distressing. This book Willow Hall took me six years to write. What's more the least favourite bit of the writing process for me was the editing process. It is so draining on the mind and can be dreadful when I have missed typo errors even though I have read it over and over many times.
Q: What authors do you like to read? What book or books have had a strong influence on you or your writing?
A:I have many authors I like; I give them all the benefit of my doubt. The kind of books that influence me are autobiographies and true stories about the author's struggles. The story of Anne Frank is what pushes my thoughts to how life was like during the holocaust, how friendships are pushed past the boundaries. It brings out the worst and the best in people.
Q: Who would be your dream cast?
A: I wrote this book for my main character to be Ben Whishaw as Darcy (protagonist) and Hugh Grant as Father Hugh Delaney (the misunderstood antagonist) As for the remainder of the cast; that's anyone's guess. If it were to become a film in the future, I'd leave it to the casting crew to work through it.
Q: What are we to expect in the Reckoning?
A: An excellent ending to Darcy's struggle with his past and to finally have Tilly out of his life forever.
Q: What are your plans to do after the sequel?
A: I'd like to try a story with humour for a change, although, I like stories where I can turn them into mysteries and keep the reader guessing to the very end. I have titles and plots in mind however I want to hold that for later.
Q: Any last thoughts for our readers?
A: If you like ghost stories you might want to give Willow Hall a good work out. I have read many ghost stories in my life and have found none of them to appease me. That's also why I wrote this book, I like a good ghost story.
Third part called 'Asked Sooz'
Q: What inspired you to create a world about witches and where did the six clan idea come from?
A: The idea for "witches" came to me right as I was falling asleep—I heard the word Threadwitch. I instantly snapped awake and started to wonder what a Threadwitch was, what kind of word she lived in, and what other "witches" there might be. I ended up imagining so many kinds of witches that it got a bit unwieldy, so to simplify/smooth things out, I came up with the 6 elements. Now every kind of witchery falls into one of those elements: Aether, Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Void.
Q: In your opinion what was the hardest step creating a masterpiece story for the Something Strange and Deadly series and Truthwitch?
A: As for the hardest step creating my stories, well…every book is different. And honestly, that's a challenge for me! I want to be able to use the same method each time I write a book, but I've found that no two books come out in the same way. I just have to accept that and discover the story by whatever means necessary. 🙂
Fourth part of my tour is called Clan Chat remainder
We had a successful clan chat last month and we are hosting another clan chat today, it has come so quick. So please join us today at 12PM ET. It will be really fun and we will be discussing all things Witchery 🙂
Fifth part called Look Out
Susan Dennard, Author of the Strange and Deadly Series is bringing out her new novel out this January 2016, so look out for it in your local stores or online.
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery", a magical skill that sets them apart from others. In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble—as two desperate young women know all too well. Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It's a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires. Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safi's hotheaded impulsiveness. Safi and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship's captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
Thank-you for reading and hope you enjoyed it 🙂

For six hours a week now I have only one child in the house as the two-year-old has started preschool. Those hours fly by, and I can never get as much done as I want to but I try make time to sit down have a cup of tea or coffee and something nice to eat. These flapjacks were perfect for the first day my two-year-old started school. I'd already made them so I could just grab them while holding a baby on the hip, make a coffee sit down, breastfeed, and enjoy. Bliss.
They are also ideal for the kids breakfasts, lunchbox or as an afternoon snack. They are super healthy and are packed with fruit and slow releasing porridge outs to keep tummys full for longer. They were really easy to make and I had most of the ingredients in the cupboard already.
The recipe is from Women's Health magazines. Is how I made it.
Two apples, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey or a go away Siri
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 g of porridge oats
45 g dried fruit for example apricots chopped or I used raisins
40 g seeds or nuts chopped
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Add apples to a food processor and pulse until mushy.
- Mixed together the oil, honey or maple syrup and vanilla in a pan over medium heat for adding the most apples and mixing well.
- In a bowl, mix together the oats fruit seeds and nuts, salt and cinnamon before I didn't do the pan and staring.
- Press the mixture into a lined baking tin and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until nice and golden.
- Allow to cool then cut into bars or square shapes. Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!

With shrinking budgets and more demands placed on IT personnel in the government sector, IT staff and contractors that are shopping for new infrastructure often feel as though they must do more, with less. However, there can be drawbacks for those who are considering spec'ing a machine out lightly to make sure it is under budgetary numbers. Read on to learn why spending a little more now will likely result in decreased costs in the future.
Price trumps many considerations when IT staff request solicitations for infrastructure. By having, say, 6 hard drives installed in your new server - as opposed to the maximum number of spindles - costs are reduced. The same goes for opting for a single CPU configuration, instead of dual processors, or for those who select lower amounts of installed RAM, versus higher factory configurations, for example.
While buying the bare minimum does reduce your cost now, if/when your team needs to complete upgrades to those disks, as data storage needs increase, or upgrades to system memory, as virtual environments are expanded, the costs will end up being much higher than if you bought the upgrades during your initial purchase. That is because it is less expensive for the factory or reseller to install and configure equipment as it is manufactured, as opposed to the high cost to the end user of add-on and replacement parts down the road.
For example, you can configure a popular 2U server model with 2TB SAS drives that are less than $400 each, when ordered with the original machine. What is the price after the machine has shipped, for the exact same OEM drives? Around $500!
Finally, any post-purchase upgrades to a server will need to be installed on the system. This could bring on additional costs to pay for a third party to install them or will cost time of local IT personnel.
As if it weren't enough that the same parts that weren't ordered at the same time as the machine will now cost more, there is also a disparity in the warranties you will receive with add-on parts. New parts that were originally installed in a server or storage array are generally covered under the same standard warranty as the server or storage. Not so with parts purchased after the fact. Most parts your team ends up needing after the fact will typically come with a standard one year warranty. This includes practically all memory modules, drives, NICs and HBAs, cables, and the like.
By purchasing add-on items after a server has left the factory means that warranty terms will be mismatched and may end at different times. This adds paperwork and documentation requirements for COs, and the potential for IT personnel to miss warranty deadlines for newly added components. Thus, when a component fails, the only remedy available to IT staff will be for the government to purchase, without reimbursement, the exact same part.
Often, we look over requested configurations that include serious potential challenges to the system's performance, such as:
Performance limitations, such as the lack of controller cache, or un-optimized memory are easy to spot, and are honorable attempts to limit the initial expenditure of government procured IT infrastructure. However, it doesn't take long for a handicapped server to make up the few hundred dollars that was saved by not buying a 1GB of FBWC when its speeds are significantly slower than a server that does have the cache. In some environments, it could conceivably take just a few days for a server to pay for its own upgrade, when looking at the increased productivity (and morale) of those using the server.
Concerns of system down-time go hand-in-hand with initial performance limitations. Some costs may be deferred now, by not springing for performance-enhancing options. However, when IT teams eventually fund the necessary component upgrades or enhancements, their asset will still need to be brought down and the upgrade completed (usually at night or on weekends), requiring unnecessary downtime, and causing frustration to IT staff members.
Aventis Systems is known for our customer-centric, solution-based sales approach. While we do not believe every IT asset needs to be outfitted with the latest and greatest or be have maxed out components, there are times where IT personnel can save a lot later, by spending a little bit more now. If you would like to speak with our US-based, factory-certified presales team, to determine what's best for your next deployment for now – and in the future – and would like competitive options presented from the best brands in the business, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. We will listen to your current needs, future concerns, and tailor your solution to your unique needs, while making sure you don't have unplanned costs, warranty, or performance and down-time issues later.

Hey little pigwidgeons.
You'll only get that cute lil nickname if you're a Harry Potter babe 4 lyf.
So, hi! I got back from Paris last night. I'd timed it all so perfectly so that I could get home for 8pm and have a couple of hours to drink herbal tea and eat macarons with Chris on the sofa before bed, ready for a megz productive day today, but alas, Greater Anglia had other plans.
All the train lines out of Liverpool Street were blocked last night, and so, rather than listen to the announcements telling me to travel via Cambridge (which would, just FYI, mean a three-hour journey home), I put my awkward Britishness to one side and scouted out some fellow Ipswich commuters. Then we booked ourselves a nice little cab and all trundled up the A12 home together. It was delightful.
Anyway, point of my story is that I got home late and today feel a bit like I haven't slept since 1997 and so HI MY POST ABOUT PARIS WON'T BE UP TODAY, but here's the outfits I wore whilst out there, for you to spy at in the meantime.
After snapping this 10 out of 10 jumper up from Freeport at the weekend, I knew it HAD to be my main travelling piece on Monday morning. I kept it casual and classic with my trusty ancient Primark trench (and BTW I saw a mega similar stone-coloured midi one in the H&M catalogue on my dining table this morning) and ASOS skinny jeans.
I also wore my new Stan Smith trainers, which I'm hoping will stop making my feet bleed soon. There's obviously something wrong with my feet because everyone else who owns these furry babes swears they've never had a blister. FFS.
Coat – similar here / Jumper – M&S (sold out) / Jeans – ASOS / Bag- Zara / Shoes – Offspring / Sunglasses – ASOS
I had about seven minutes to sass myself up for the evening without risking missing the Eiffel Tower look all glam and BAM during sunset, so that's why my fake eyelashes look like they're hanging on for dear life. My bad.
This is my dress from the Uniqlo Lemaire collection and I love how it instantly makes me feel confident and full of energy and glamour whilst taking away any body insecurities because it skims my lumps and bumps.
And these Next pointed loafers <3 Over and out.
Jacket – Dorothy Perkins / Dress – Uniqlo / Bag – Zara / Shoes – Next (similar here)
I GOT TO WEAR A FLOATY MIDI SKIRT IN PARIS. OK, so there were moments, whilst hovering in the shade, where I wanted to scream sweet swear words because of how cold I was, but mostly nah, mostly I was feeling spring-like and warm and happy.
If you're quite hip-y like me, wearing a denim jacket or biker jacket helps hide the way a pleated skirt adds an extra inch to your curves. I teamed mine with my new bff – my ASOS body – so that it balanced out the overall combo.
Plz ignore the fact I had to wear socks with my trainers, you have no idea how much pain I was in. I'M COOL, I PROMISE.
Jacket – Dorothy Perkins / Body – ASOS / Skirt – Dorothy Perkins / Trainers – Offspring / Bag – Zara / Sunglasses – ASOS
Which look is your fave?

Submissive Slave Part 5 (2014)
Release Year: 2014
Cast: Jaiden, Tanner
Genres: Fetish
Master Tanner continues to beat Jaiden, using the flogger on his exposed abdomen until it begins to turn bright red. "No!" Jaiden tries to yell through his tape-gag as he struggles against his binds, but it's no use. "I'm liking you!" Master Tanner announces, taking his time to enjoy every inch of his hot slave. Now the whipping gets even more intense as the lashes get harder and more rapid. Just when the slave is about to collapse, Tanner starts to rub his slaves wounds with oil. It burns, but Master Tanner isn't finished yet.

Travel can bring out every pore, pimple and scar. All the afraid movements, the small double-checks of the passport and wallet. It can amplify the street hawkers the peddle peddle peddle for a Euro, the begging beings. The layers of wealth and the sore and the oblivious and the daily. Daily routines of a Metro in the snake holes of a tunnel through the lines trudging stairs, lines of puffy jackets boots flat to the stair. Travel can expand the sense of the poor and the fat, the true gloating of the franchises. The networked brush through the commuters to eat free lunches in foyers and be fauned on by a Spanish chef who keeps adjusting his testicles. Loud Russian voices speak of an ugly veil of selfhood.
Also, though, travel can bring a great pride in navigating. In absorbing and also deflecting. In the strength of the upper back against a sagging bag. The sudden pangs for a home accent while loving fast attitude of the other.

In this webinar, we will share the four barriers to digital readiness and ways to overcome them, along with a sneak preview of our latest research into successfully driving digitalisation. Available on demand.
The talent crisis in procurement
Modern demands on procurement are numerous and varied; from transforming the cost base, to managing risk, and innovating and leading the change on digital transformation. If we can't deliver on our strategy and we can't get the right skills for now, how do we position ourselves for the exciting opportunities ahead? Put simply: is there a looming crisis in our profession, with talent at its core?
What supply chain needs to know about digital procurement of the future
Join this webinar in partnership with GEP to get an understanding of how an automated process leveraging technology can provide your team with more time for impactful, long-term-view activities and improved decision making. Improving upon the supply chain is a data-rich process, demanding a lot of analytic power to better understand what it takes to create a well-oiled machine.
How can you use automation to refocus resources on value?
With risk management and value creation rising on the agenda for procurement organisations, it's crucial to reduce resources focused on transactional and mechanical activities. In order to move quickly, procurement leaders are repositioning team capabilities and partnering with internal stakeholders to hit business agility goals. Available on demand.
3 lessons learned from procurement digitalisation
Are you facing challenges when implementing digitalisation in the most impactful way? Procurement chiefs must define the business outcomes and benefits they will derive from their digitalisation strategy - not just for the function but the wider organisation.

U.S. Treasury Considers Ways to Extend Debt Maturity
The U.S. Treasury and its Wall Street advisers are weighing steps to more rapidly extend the maturity of government debt, a development that could partially blunt the Federal Reserve's effort to lower long-term interest rates.
The U.S. Treasury Wednesday said the average maturity of its outstanding debt had risen to almost 65 months at the end of 2012, up 34% since an October 2008 trough. That is the longest average maturity in a decade.
The trend looks set to continue. Under current policies, the average maturity of debt is set to rise to 80 months by 2022.

It's such a good track. I hope they do release something like a live album, with all the ATP tracks together or something. Because then we'd have lots of unheard, old stuff, (Echus) like everyone wants to hear.
Are the two versions possibly different, or does the low quality of the ATP recording make it impossible to hear those 4 blips?

Here's what to watch for:
* Whenever anybody is expected to follow something...a leader, a calling, a religious or spiritual path, or even just a basic task or physical chore, there are generally two requirements that will ensure everything goes along smoothly. One, a person must feel some degree of personal, emotional investment, and two, we have to feel that what we are doing is reasonable.
* The enemies of progress in any path are similar. Anything that we do not commit to emotionally, trying to remain 100% rational in our commitment, will finally fail us. Anything that we try to remain 100% emotional about, will also fail us. We aren't built to be entirely emotionally OR intellectually driven in our actions in this world.
* Excessive questioning, scrutiny, doubt, and rationality will kill the trust, faith, and emotional commitment needed to follow a path.
* Excessive charisma without a firm understanding of why we're doing something will also eventually lead us astray.
* Maybe the hardest thing for us to do is to exist where we are, following a path that reflects both an honest level of understanding and emotional commitment at once.
* Mars' in Gemini's opposition to Jupiter in Sagittarius ignites the desire to question, challenge, and rationally or mentally oppose that which we feel threatened by. However, when we take the time to look carefully at what we feel personally threatened by, it is likely to be highly personal, highly subjective, and emotional in nature.
* The simultaneous squares taking place right now from Venus to Saturn, the South Node, and Pluto in Capricorn, is a call to look at the way in which our rational principles, reactions, and combative or defensive responses to others are acting as a buffer for a deeper, underlying emotional reality that we are neglecting to address.
* We do this because we believe that unless people see things exactly as we do that an underlying emotional unity cannot be obtained. The problem with this is that principles tend to dominate or be dominated. They are like claims to land. The rational property lines won and lost through the war of principles are too often lines drawn in shifting sand.
* When we start from the recognition of our shared need for emotional happiness, peace, friendliness, neighborly love, and kindness, on the other hand, then our principles become the means by which we negotiate and maintain the bonds of the heart.
* Principles may not always agree. But we can work through our disagreements much better by recognizing that the heart also has its own principle, its own principle need, to love and be loved. When this principle need is recognized as the bottom line of everyone, and everything, because everyone and everything is ensouled, we choose our words and actions more carefully, and we choose our thoughts more carefully, because the right and need to love and be loved, on the part of all souls, becomes the centering argument behind all of our thoughts, words, and actions. We become warriors not so much of our own personal needs and wants but of the only need and want that everyone has, which is love. And when we serve this cause, we find that we are it's most beloved.
* Otherwise, we will always fail by trying to get to love by battling over our principles and trying to eliminate whoever or whatever seems to stand in the way of "love, peace, etc." When love is the prize that comes "after the battle is won," we will neither fight in love, die in love, or find love waiting afterward.
Prayer: Be our cause. Be our principle. You who is none other than love.
