From NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes a sexy new standalone sports romance…
Ready to be swept off your feet? Meet the witty, sexy, dirty-talking quarterback Drew in OUT OF BOUNDS! Grab your copy today!
"Be on your best behavior, Drew," he says, a teasing tone in his voice.
"I always am," I reply, and the fact is, that's true. Clean-cut is my nickname.
"And text if you're done early."
"If I'm done early, I'm having a date with my mattress."
He groans. "You are the definition of no fun."
I grin. "That's me. That's why Qwench wants me now. Because I know how to get a good night's sleep and stay out of the line of fire."
When I hang up, I step out of the car, hand the keys to the valet, and thank him. Then I head inside, where Stuart greets me in the room reserved for the event, claps me on the back, and introduces me to several people. A photographer snaps shots the whole time, and I play the role that's hardly a role—the outgoing, non-trouble-making, peace-loving quarterback who doesn't throw punches or raise fists, like others before me have.
Don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't have unprotected sex, and I also don't speed. Squeaky clean indeed. Not even a traffic ticket on the record, and certainly no knocked-up teenyboppers with mini Drews baking in their bellies.
Stuart introduces me to the red-haired, freckle-faced guy who heads up this charity. "And this is Drew Erickson. He's our new starter. We're thrilled to have him on the team, especially since he's already active with many wonderful charitable endeavors," Stuart says to the ginger-haired guy.
We exchange small talk for a few minutes, then Stuart drops a hand on my shoulder and tells me there's someone else he wants me to meet. "I'd love to introduce you to a sharp-as-a-tack woman who makes sure I don't fumble," he says, then winks in case I didn't realize he was making a joke.
I smile to let him know I got it—fumbling humor and all—then my smile turns into a ruler-straight line when I turn on my heels and see my surfer angel.
Holy shit. She's hot as sin in a red skirt, white blouse, and black heels. She holds a drink. Her blond hair is twisted on her head. Damn. The smoking-hot look is almost enough to make me forget she blew me off. My dick, the traitorous bastard, has already come down with amnesia. The fucker wants her.
"This is Dani Paige. She's an attorney for the team," he says, and I attempt to school my expression as I come face-to-face with the woman who ditched me.
And all I want to do is toss her on my shoulder, stalk to the bathroom, slam the door, and ask her why the fuck she didn't call. Then when she tells me it was because she was too busy getting off to thoughts of me, I'd kiss the hell out of her until she melted in my arms and begged me to take her. I'd happily oblige. Hoist her up, hook her legs around my hips, and fuck her against the wall until she comes harder than she ever has before.
Instead, I shake her free hand. "Pleasure to meet you." Then I whisper, just for her. "Jaws."

Everyone seeks to have more space and a bigger home. It is important to note that space represents class and at the same time luxury. It is therefore important to ensure that no matter how limited your house is in terms of space, you can always work out ways to create an impression of getting a large space based on what you have. Space and class renders a sense of freedom and fulfillment. There are a number of ways in which one can achieve this.
Use the right paint
A house that has been painted with brighter colors creates an illusion of more space. Reason being, the more light that it reflects, the space appears larger. Choosing to use heavy hue colors on your wall will mean that more light will be absorbed and hence making the room look much smaller. Brighter colors are equally associated with class, giving a double effect of space and class. Adding Hue on your spaces however, comes in handy especially if you have a large space. They have a way of creating elegance to the space in which they have been applied.
Throw some pillows
Pillows have been used mostly for additional comfort to your couches. It is important to also note that they contribute a great deal to the elegance of your space, especially if selected well. To achieve this, the pillows have to be large in size about 22 inch and 24 inches. Its designs will render an elegant look to your space.
Make use of rags
Who said wall to wall carpet creates elegance despite keeping a home warm? The best way to achieve class is by using a rag that creates space; it adds texture into your space which is elegant and at the same time infuses a range of color in your space.
Make use of Mirrors
Mirrors have a way of creating more space in a room. One can choose to hang a mirror on their walls to create this impression. Mirrors will also create a sense of class in your home. It is a great way of achieving both effects in your home.
The normal ceiling fixtures are now being replaced by cheaper yet classy looking chandeliers. You may also consider making use of pendants that will hang from your ceiling to achieve an elegant look for your home.
Accessorize your walls
One can chose to have beautiful wall hangings on their walls. However, remember to avoid wallpapers with designs that are heavy. Also, putting too many wall hangings all over your walls will not do much. One standalone painting will look classy especially when placed near the mantel or the sofa.
Organize your space
One will realize that even as they organize their space, there is a lot that one may not need. Do not overcrowd your spaces with unnecessary items. Ensuring that your space is clean and neat will also create a sense of elegance.

Markus Zusak's The Book Thief is an enormously successful novel that has sold more than eight million copies and has moved many of its readers, me included. I try not to compare films too scrupulously with their source material but fans will be intrigued to know if the film manages to capture the horror, irony, courage and humanity of the original pages.
Regrettably it doesn't, although director Brian Percival has created a dignified and handsome film, filled with impressive performances and an emotional finale that will have you fumbling for a tissue.
The film is set in Germany between 1939 and 1943 and is narrated by Death (voiced by Roger Allam), who goes about his job objectively even if he is perplexed and haunted by how people conduct themselves.
He tells the story of 9-year-old Liesel Meminger (Nelisse) who he meets when her younger brother dies on a train on the way to the fictional town of Molching, Germany. Their mother, who is on the run from the Nazis, was delivering the siblings to a childless couple, the Hubermanns, and Liesel must now stay with them alone.
Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson are well cast as the Hubermanns. Watson is just as you imagine Rosa: thin-lipped, austere and impatient with all those around her, but beneath the harshness has a warmth and fondness for her infuriating husband and new daughter.
It's with Hans, though, that Liesel really connects. The kind and warm Hans encourages her to learn to read and write. The power of words is also pressed on her by Max Vandenburg (Schnetzer), a Jew the Hubermanns hide in their basement, and the grief-stricken wife of the local Nazi commander, who notices Liesel's fondness for literature and lends her books.
As you expect from the director of Downton Abbey, The Book Thief is a handsome period piece, although the drama tends to fluctuate between the understated day-to-day and the overly sentimental and emotional. Well-known names make this film accessible, but despite great performances there's a disconnect between a film striving to be very authentic in its setting and environment and its characters speaking English with a German accent.
The Book Thief manages to capture the horror of war and the tension of life in the Hubermann household, and there are moments that will shock those not familiar with the story.
But it fails to make the most of what made the book unique - Death as a narrator. In the book, Death is an intelligent observer of what happens and offers a profound view on life, while in the film he's really just a narrator, a gimmick that pulls the story together.
Nevertheless, this is a rewarding and emotional film filled with heart, a celebration of the power of words and a reminder that in times of madness there are still those who recognise the simple difference between right and wrong.

When Daniel, 38, was due to be released from HMP Highpoint after serving six and a half years, Kareen, a Project Coordinator at Diagrama Foundation UK, used the skills she learned in a Turn2us workshop to help him.
By using the Turn2us Benefits Calculator to see if Daniel would be better off in a parole hostel or on licence at his parents' home, Kareen discovered he was entitled to single accommodation rate and return to work Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
She secured the accommodation which left Daniel greatly reassured and further aided his commitment to leaving crime behind.

The day-to-day demands of work, family and life can at times be overwhelming and cause you to lose sight of your long-term goals. At other times, your financial goals may come into conflict – competing against each other for both your attention and resources. This is why financial planning is so important. A carefully-crafted and comprehensive plan provides a roadmap to financial security, allowing your goals to work in tandem rather than at odds with each other.
It may sound daunting or time-consuming, but the process itself is simple and straight-forward, helping you align each of your goals with sound financial tactics designed to markedly improve your likelihood of success. From retirement planning to education planning, asset protection to estate planning, a well-crafted financial plan can help keep you on track toward:
- Meeting all your interrelated goals from your working years through retirement.
- Minimizing the impact of taxes on your savings.
- Funding educational costs for your children or grandchildren.
- Building a cash reserve to meet emergency needs.
- Providing for your family in the event of your death or disability.
- Reducing taxes on lifetime gifts and estate transfers.
- Ensuring the orderly transfer or sale of a family business.
- And establishing a discipline to your investment strategy that aligns with your goals.
Common Questions & Concerns
1. What is financial planning?
Financial planning is the process of articulating and defining personal and financial goals and formulating a comprehensive, integrated strategy to achieve them without the assumption of undue risk. The process includes four distinct steps, as follows:
- Information gathering (i.e., life goals, assets, liabilities, cash inflows and outflows, investment preferences, etc.) and analysis
- Plan development; aligning resources to short- and long-term goals
- Plan implementation
- Plan monitoring, periodic review and adjustment
2. What areas are typically covered in a financial plan?
A comprehensive financial plan will generally address most or all of the following topics: retirement planning, investment planning, educational funding, income tax planning, estate planning, risk management and insurance planning.
3. What does the retirement planning process entail?
At its core, retirement planning is about striving to ensure that you never run out of money, whether from living longer than expected, market downturns or spending too much too fast. The process helps you estimate how much you'll need to cover your essential and discretionary expenses in retirement, identify income sources to fund those various expenses, and determine most tax-efficient way to liquidate assets from multiple accounts to generate sufficient income. These decisions will be based on a multitude of factors including:
- What retirement means to you. Is it a chance at a second career or a life at the beach? What are your travel plans and other general lifestyle issues (second home, etc.)?
- At what age do you want to retire? How much income do you want available to you in retirement? How would you feel if you were unable to retire at that age?
- Do you envision any impediments or have any fears about achieving your goals?
- How long do you expect to be retired? Is your family history one of longevity? How is your general health?
- If you own a business, will it be sold during retirement? Will you receive income from it or need to fund expenses for it?
- Is it important to you to pass wealth to your heirs? To charities?
The discussion generated by these and other questions will provide a visual image ("paint the picture") of your unique retirement. It will help identify obstacles and provide a realistic framework for the best solutions to meet your goals.
4. What is investment planning?
Your financial plan will review your existing investment holdings (asset class, liquidity, risk, diversification and tax consequences) against alternative strategies as part of a coordinated approach designed to meet your financial goals in a manner consistent with your risk tolerance and the rate of return needed to fund your goals.
5. What is income tax planning?
Income tax planning encompasses a lot more than just filing personal or business tax returns. Typically, the goal is to reduce, postpone, eliminate and/or convert federal and state tax liability on both compensation and investments or change the tax ramifications to a more favorable rate structure. Some of the techniques available to accomplish these objectives include funding retirement accounts (Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP, Keogh, 401(k), pension and profit-sharing plans), transfer of assets to individuals in a lower income tax bracket (custodial accounts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and 529 plans) and/or holding capital assets for the favorable long-term capital gain holding period (a year and a day or longer prior to sale).
6. What is estate planning?
The purpose of estate planning is to make sure that your assets are distributed upon your death in a manner consistent with your wishes and in a manner that minimizes tax obligations. Usually this is accomplished through provisions in your Will that direct the transfer of estate assets to your heirs. Sometimes, one or more trusts may be established as part of your estate plan to help facilitate the transfer of assets. These trust vehicles can provide added flexibility as to how and when beneficiaries receive assets.
A properly drafted Will also designates the entity and/or person who will manage your estate (executor, executrix, administrator or personal representative) and any trusts established thereunder. A guardian for minor children and the orderly continuation or sale of a family business may also be addressed during the estate planning process.
An estate planning analysis will address methods designed to reduce taxes and probate costs, provide for estate liquidity, survivors' income needs and any charitable desires. A sound estate plan should include living wills and durable powers of attorney for both financial and health care needs.
A comprehensive financial plan is your roadmap to a successful financial future. As with any course, there are bound to be detours along the way. Over the years, your life will inevitably change and evolve. Your marital status may change, or you may switch careers or be unable to work. Market returns may fluctuate, or inflation may lower the value of what you've already saved. Events like these will require you not only to reevaluate your needs, but to adjust your financial plan to ensure continued progress towards your retirement goals.
Using SummitViewSM, our exclusive new web-based planning solution, your SunTrust advisor will work closely with you to navigate new and unexpected financial challenges, address your most pressing retirement questions and concerns, and help keep you on track toward meeting your various goals.

Mixed Green Messages
I just took a trip to San Francisco. The hotel I stayed in had some odd mixed messages related to green issues. They encouraged me to forego daily washing of my linens and towels so that I could help them help the environment. This always makes sense to me. Who changes there sheets every night at home. Why would you need to at a hotel? And the amount of water and energy this saves is significant. Kudos.
But then, when I came into my room they insisted on having the TV turned on playing soothing music with videos of waterfalls and flowers cycling through. It's pretty normal that nicer hotels will turn your clock radio on to a classical radio station, a practice that I dislike as it is, but this seemed just crazy. They were running a TV for hours and hours with nobody at all in the room. To make matters worse it wasn't some high-efficiency LCD panel, it was an old CRT-based tube television just sucking down the watts.
What's the point of having this TV on all hours of the day? I can only imagine if a visitor from Europe or Japan comes they must be stunned. Lights on, TV on with soothing waterfall videos — for nobody. Just wasting energy. But meanwhile, I'll make sure to reuse my towels. What a mixed message.

The absolute solitude embraces the caryatids but has not forgotten the smile in your eyes.
I spend my days with my rebel freedom, with the stone kings and the frozen time.
Life continues to pulsate in the depths of my heartless veins.
On the same stairs where you were holding my hand
The rain has replaced the sound of your footsteps beside me.
Your wish for happiness has not yet extinguished my soul.
I write like a lunatic on the corner of every table I happen to find,
In the silent places where I have once been with you.
Lunatic. Yes, I am a lunatic. The absolute lunatic for loving you.

The Sound of Missing You
The sun paints a last trace of life before dying in agony. With it's last drops of shadow it lingers under my tired eyes.
I carry within the memory of what love used to be. I can still hear our fading steps on the same old roads, on the same grey pavement. I can still feel your arm tight around my waist and your laughter.
Near me other couples chat like we used to, holding hands, blessed to not know how futile and doomed this moment of happiness is, sentenced to only live for a glimpse in time.
I was a fool to believe that you can make a choice. No. I chose you. The one you really are, not the one that hides his face. The one in which I believe, not the one that never believes in himself.
Darkness rises all around. In thoughts, in the shivering cold, in the unspoken emptiness. My once loving heart bleeds at the thought that you're gone, yet nobody can take me the smile that you used to have in your eyes.
Maybe in your dimension you dance now with other masked faces and other smiles give you a passing smile. Yet deep inside you will never find your path on your own, there's no path without love.
Rain strikes my cheek like your fingers once used to, falling cold, quenching the marks left by your ardent kisses. My lips whisper the shadows of the same name that never ceased to linger in my mind since I last saw you.
Countless prayers go your way, but you don't even know it. If I would have stepped off the edge of my life I would still have never found you, for you are far, much further than my thought can reach to kiss you good night.
Memories of a madman fill up the sky as I lay myself to sleep. But even in my dream there will only be this burning love that has never ended.
333 words, memyselfandela, January 2014
The One I Love The Most
Love, I never knew how to tell you
How much you've hurt me sometimes
I've always been there, open and true
Refusing to see the most obvious lies.
Hollow and upset, I've always done my best
To imagine a life for us, smile and be kind
But in the end it all felt like a test
And understanding you slipped out of my mind.
You'll always be the one hunting for goals
I'll still try to understand when you got lost
No mountain can fill the gap between our souls
Though you'll always remain the one I love the most
100 words
memyselfandela, 2012
without you
no more space under my eyelids to hold on of you
I've lost you, you belong to the wind
you were mine when you didn't even know it
when no one saw us
when we were lost in time
empty and marooned I am left
with the trace of you through me
torn heart that does not know anymore
how to keep on beating
without you
somewhere behind the end of the road
when the nothingness will recompose
we will rise again, you and me
the last pieces missing to make
the eternity real
The Rain
I have passed…
…one day in front of the attic
of our lost moments, where not
even the time wants to stop and remember
that we have once been there, that we have
made love, that the sentimental rain
in our eyes was screaming
on the roof red of emotions, screaming
loud "I love you!"…
… and now I look at the sky and see
no cloud that could
bring us back such a rain…
… and even if the skyline could bring me
again the clouds of my soulful birth
I don't know where you may still be now…
… my Love…
shine haiku
the shine of your eyes
gently covered in dawn light
you hide in my heart
Broken Tanka
keep waiting for you
I have just seen your shadow
in my memory
smoke covers the face of the
last pieces of broken dreams
memyselfandela, 2012

The Rt Hon Stephen Timms, MP for Newham, is not only NASSA's Patron, he is also one of our passionate supporters. Stephen has been with NASSA on every step of our journey over the past 10 years.
He offers us advice whenever we need it, lends his influence to help us organise events and even shows off his basketball skills on the court by participating in our annual Carry A Basketball Not A Blade (CABNAB) event challenge match against the Metropolitan Police.
NASSA would not be the same without him, so: Thank You, Stephen.
"Newham All Star Sports Academy (NASSA) has made a remarkable contribution to Newham since 2006 and I am proud to be its patron. The first London club to achieve the Five Star Club mark from England Basketball, its teams have won national titles across all age groups.
"I have hosted NASSA's annual awards ceremony at the House of Commons since 2009 to celebrate young people's success on and off the basketball court.
"The Carry A Basketball Not A Blade (CABNAB) project supported by the Metropolitan Police has enthused many young people in Newham and has made a powerful case for positive involvement in sport instead of the negative alternatives."

``Can people eat 1s and 0s?'' by Quah, D.December 2005
Blogger Ref Link http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Transfinancial_Economics
First, what the weightless economy isn't: It isn't just the knowledge-based economy. The knowledge-based economy might be taken to be nothing more than the proposition that knowledge matters for economic performance. Such an idea is both classical and new. It is classical in that the economists who invented growth accounting in the 1950s had already estimated over two-thirds of economic progress in the 20th century to be due to technical change, i.e., to ongoing progress in knowledge generally defined. Going back further, we might consider the first Industrial Revolution, where the deployment of machines such as spinning Jennies and steam engines significantly boosted economic performance. These machines were the physical embodiment of new knowledge. The world was therefore, by the time of this Industrial Revolution, already a knowledge-based economy. Take yet another example. Knowledge is very much the key ingredient in, say, the mathematical development of the properties of the square root of -1. (What else could be?) This knowledge allows understanding the properties of electricity and magnetism. Ultimately therefore, the spread of electricity usage throughout modern economies from 1899 on must be due to knowledge. Such an interpretation of the knowledge-based economy---perhaps mundane, arguably low-key, undoubtedly pervasive---applies not only to the past. Its relevance continues today in poorer parts of the global economy. The World Bank's 1998 World Development Report reminds us that certain very basic knowledge of health, sanitary procedure, and disease control has saved over 30 million West Africans from the affliction of river blindness. Turning to where room for improvement remains, a little knowledge of the presence of readily-available treatments will go a long way to alleviate the suffering of the 2 million who die each year and the 900 million made ill by the dehydrating effects of diarrhea. These examples of the economic importance of knowledge are classical, illustrating principles at work in any economy. They shed no light on what is new and important in the knowledge-based economy now. Instead, it is the weightless economy where the economic significance of knowledge achieves greatest contemporary resonance. The weightless economy, in this view, comprises four main elements:
- Information and communications technology (ICT), the Internet.
- Intellectual assets: Not only patents and copyrights but also, more broadly, namebrands, trademarks, advertising, financial and consulting services, and education.
- Electronic libraries and databases: Including new media, video entertainment, and broadcasting.
- Biotechnology: Carbon-based libraries and databases, pharmaceuticals.

Fibreglass is a manmade product, in use since the 1930s for filtration and insulation. In modern times, shower stalls, bathtubs, kayaks, boat hulls and many other objects contain fibreglass. When you saw, trim, or handle fibreglass, small fibres work their way into the skin of your hands and arms, creating an irritating itch.
Disrobe carefully, taking care not to drag your shirt over your arms or hands. Pressure on the skin can drive the fibreglass splinters deeper into your skin, making removal much more difficult.
Enter your shower and turn on the hot water and a small amount of cold water. Stand away from the water stream for several minutes. The goal is to work up steam in the enclosed space without getting your hands or arms wet. The steam opens your pores and increases the chances of the splinters falling out.
Adjust the water to a comfortable temperature and step back into the stream. Allow the water to run off of your arms and hands. If any of the splinters were loosened as a result of the steam, this step will rinse them away.
Add natural soap to a non-coarse loofah and gently brush the skin on your hands and arms. Do not apply pressure, as doing so will drive any remaining splinters deeper. Rinse your hands and arms with water to remove the soap.
Turn off the water and dry your hands and arms by lightly pressing the towel against the skin. Do not drag the towel.
Put on a loosefitting, sleeveless shirt. If you are still experiencing irritation, move on to the next section.
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to a bowl.
Add a small amount of water. Mix the baking soda and water into a paste with your fingers. If the paste is too dry and powdery, add more water. If the paste is too soupy, add more baking soda.
Dress any itchy areas on your hands or arms with the paste.
Allow the paste to dry for 25 to 30 minutes. Try not to move your hands or twist your wrist while the paste dries. The powder will harden around the exposed sections of the fibreglass splinters.
Rinse the dried baking soda off of your skin. Any fibreglass splinters that became attached to the paste will pull out and rinse away.
Most recent
- Remove your clothing and hose off your arms and hands immediately after working with fibreglass to avoid irritation in the future.
- Powder your skin before working with fibreglass. The powder may block fibres from entering your skin.
- If you have fibreglass on your hands, do not touch your nose, mouth, ears or eyes.

Joseph Campbell often noted that while mythic structure is universal, myth itself must be kept fresh through reinterpretation. Every generation must recontextualize myth to suit their times, to create their own road map for how to fit best into the world.
After the release of Star Wars, Campbell and Lucas became friends. Campbell credited Lucas with reinvigorating the mythic force in the modern world. In return Lucas reignited worldwide interest in Campbell's ideas, which have had profound repercussions on world culture in general and Hollywood in particular. Lucas once called Campbell "my Yoda."
One of the Campbell's messages is that "mythic structure" is more than the underlying archetype of a good story; myth teaches us how to live well. If George Lucas were to create a mythic map of his life, it might include these elements:
You may have noticed that this website is careful to not say anything about George Lucas which isn't already widely known; American law says that creative people are "public figures," so they don't always have the same legal right to privacy as everyone else. But is it really okay to invade someone's private life without their permission, even when doing so doesn't break a law?

HTC Desire HD is the first 4.3" Android phone to arrive in Europe, so if you're in Europe and you've been envious on Americans for having the Evo and Droid X, then this is great news for you.
Desire HD will come with Android 2.2, which is to be expected by now, and will also have the new HTC Sense with a few extra apps and widgets. It will feature the new HTCSense.com services that will help you remotely wipe your phone if it gets stolen or simply lock it and send a message to it that you're offering a rewards. Some of the services there could be really useful, and I think this is the direction manufacturers should follow instead of skinning Android.
They should offer customized services and use them to make people come back to their phones. They should stop skinning Android beyond recognition, especially once Gingerbread is out and it should have a great, or perhaps the best mobile UI around, if WebOS is any indication of what the new UI lead at Google can do.
Here's the unboxing of Desire HD from Slashgear:

Are the majority of country-western songs built on heartache and misery? "I would say it drives a lot of the genre, for sure," says Bob Ryan. "Just like blues. A lot of times you get the blues by having hard times. So, I think country is similarly driven by drinkin', heartache, and being lonely."
Ryan has been a country-western guitarist for over 30 years. His current band is a quintet called the California Rangers. Tom Boren founded the Rangers more than a decade ago. Their specialty, says Ryan, is old-school country from the '50s and '60s. Their instruments are standard country-band issue: stock Fender guitars and amps for that clean twang, electric bass guitar, drums, and pedal steel. "We're known as a shuffle band. A country-shuffle band. It's an elusive rhythm that if not done right is pretty sucky." In fact, he says that country can be trite when it's not done justice. "It's a simple form," he says, "and if all the ingredients are not proper, it can be lame." But, shuffle? "A walking bass line with a little backbeat. We don't do new country."
And honky-tonks are bars that specialize in country music. And with few exceptions, the honky-tonk tradition has all but withered away in San Diego. "Venue-wise, it's never been real popular, but back in the '80s we did have a circuit that we played quite regularly. But that went away." Why? In part, due to the rise of modern-country star Garth Brooks, says Ryan. "We call him the anti-Hank." He laughs. He points out another factor. "When the drinking laws went to .08, overnight I saw the party end. I watched it happen to country, but in general it just kicked clubs' asses. You don't need people drinkin' and drivin' home, but that really kind of hurt. The club scene kinda went away after that."
California Rangers, The Beach Club, Oceanside, Saturday, May 14. 760-757-2955. No cover.

I love a good wedding – especially one with a festival/house party theme! It was another chance to wear my much-loved Coast skirt… (I originally raved about it here)
These photos were taken in the early evening, when we all headed outside to play games on the lawn (or cosy up by the fire, my preferred option after a 3 course meal and several hours of prosecco). I switched my strappy gold heels for Adidas superstars (rocking that Lily Allen look!) before twirling around the dancefloor!
The venue was Elmore Court (nr Gloucester, UK) – a beautiful setting for an amazing wedding!

Six Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Liposuction by Dr. Kocak
by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ergun Kocak
Liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures worldwide. In comparison to the previous year, the number of liposuction done in 2014 jumped by 5{f4e1575822752660c3387461b06f16047197db710b64f29e8565d582c3a8cd4f}. More and more people are deciding to undergo liposuction for a better body shape and contour – to finally get rid of excess fat deposits that just don't respond to diet and exercise.
Are you planning to join the growing list of people who enjoyed the results of liposuction? Here are some things you might want to ask about the procedure:
- Am I good candidate for liposuction?
The best candidates for liposuction are those who have localized deposits of fat in the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. Despite these excess fat deposits, one must be healthy and physically fit to undergo the procedure. Ideally, a liposuction patient should not be more than 20 pounds overweight and have stable weight.
It is also important for liposuction patients to have firm, elastic skin. To achieve the best results, the skin must shrink after the procedure. If there is a lack of elasticity, the results of the surgery may be compromised.
Certain medical conditions can make you a poor candidate for liposuction. The procedure poses a greater risk for those who have the following:
- Diabetes
- Heart or lung disease
- Excessive bleeding and blood clotting
- Poor blood circulation
- Seizure disorders
- What are the common areas treated by liposuction?
For women, the most commonly treated areas by liposuction are the abdomen, hips, outer and inner thighs, arms, buttocks, knees and neck. The usual places treated for men are the chin, neck, abdomen, flanks, and breasts.
About 3-4 areas can be done in an average patient during a single liposuction surgery which lasts for 2-3 hours. This typically covers the abdomen, hips, and sides.
As recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the maximum volume of fat that can be extracted from a patient is 5 liters. If the number exceeds the standard, massive fluid shifts inside a patient's body may cause pulmonary and cardiac complications. If the fat extracted is more than 5 liters, the complication rate would increase 3.7{f4e1575822752660c3387461b06f16047197db710b64f29e8565d582c3a8cd4f}.
- Can I substitute liposuction for diet and exercise?
No. Liposuction is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It's for people who already tried doing such, but cannot get rid of stubborn fat deposits in certain parts of their bodies. It can complement physical efforts like diet and exercise – to stay in shape and/or to have an improved aesthetic appeal.
- What are the common risks associated with liposuction?
When done right, liposuction is safe. It is rare for serious problems and complications to arise. It has been found out that only 1 out of 50,000 cases have severe outcomes. But like with any major surgery, liposuction may still entail risks such as the following:
- Infections
- Bleeding
- Contour irregularities
- Fluid accumulation
- Numbness
You should be able to avoid infections and bleeding with proper care of your wounds. Should you experience any of the risks listed above, do not hesitate to consult your doctor.
- How long is the recovery time for liposuction?
If your liposuction is done using local anesthesia, you may be able to leave the operating room 30 minutes right after the surgery. However, if general anesthesia is used, you may have to stay overnight if recommended by your doctor.
Generally, the recovery time for liposuction is two weeks. If the treatment is only applied to a few parts of your body, you may be able to return to work after a few days. But if the area is larger, it will take you at least 10 days to recover and go back to work. Sticking to the post-care instructions given to you by your doctor may help in recovering fast.
- Will there be scarring after the procedure?
The size of the incisions used in the procedure determines the length of the scars. Since liposuction requires small incisions, the results are small, short scars in discreet locations. These scars are hardly noticeable once they heal.

Timber Floor Finishing & Sanding
We had used the same company for several years to look after our digital marketing and when we reviewed their performance we were disturbed by the lack of ongoing work that had been done after the initial promises of how much they could do for us. We started to look around for alternatives digital marketing companies. With so many options it can be a confusing process, so when NetBrands were recommended to us we went to them and explained what we were looking for and what we were not currently getting. From the first conversation we were encouraged by their knowledge, and they followed up by putting the plan in place and we saw immediate results, and these are still ongoing. We have dealt with different people within the company, all of whom were happy to spend time explaining and making suggestions. We have already recommended NetBrands to other businesses.
Interior Designer & Decorator

Hello Gents,
I'm offering my Jumyo Daisho for sale.
Jumyo comes from a long line of sword smiths based in Mino province working in the Mino Tradition. 1st Generation Jumyo is said to originate from Yamato province, dating back to Einin (1293-1299). Swords from this smith are said to bring good luck and were commonly used as gifts.
The workmanship in this daisho looks to be Sue-Koto or early Shinto period work. Irregular Midare, bold Mokume hada in areas. The Boshi is the real stand out. Both swords are ubu and signed "Jumyo".
Nagasa: Daito 59.2cm
Shoto 42.8cm
Both of these swords are of wakizashi length. The daito being just 0.8 cm under katana length. This is a true daisho, not a mixed matched pair of swords. The workmanship and signatures on each sword are the same. They are both stored in high quality shira-saya with horn koiguchi and solid silver two piece habaki.
Both swords are in an older state of polish and the shoto has some old oil stains. The daito has also had a small repair on the mune at some point.
These swords would benefit greatly from a professional Japanese polish (sashi-komi would be best), new koshirae and papers if one so desired. That was my plan anyway, and still may be. I'm only posting this for sale ad for a few days due to some recent financial strain. If they don't sell in a few days I'm going to take this ad down and gladly keep them.
I'm based in Canada. Depending on your location, I can work with the buyer a bit in regards to the shipping cost.
A great opportunity to own a true daisho for a fair price. $3,500 USD.
Best way to reach me is by email. Thank you.

I made a decision not to post on this forum not on a whim but on a principle...but upon seeing how a fellow Canadian basically getting ripped off, i can't help but offer unsolicited points of observation. Daisho are imho hard to sell. Why do we often see fittings and sword sold separately? Because it is rare enough that A ) someone will go all out for the sword or B ) someone will go all out for the fittings...but MUCH rarer still is that someone will go all out for BOTH the sword and the fittings. This package has imho SO MUCH going for it, in ONE package:
1) good and characteristic workmanship that even a noob like me can say, "Ah yes i saw something like this on a different Jumyo before"
2) a real daisho
3) a good (but not flawless) polish
4) signed too for goodness sake
Now, time for me to rant. What we ~like~ to believe is that sword features like diamond carats, go up exponentially ie a 2-carat diamond costs a lot more than two 1-carat diamonds...but this is sold like the price of a signed random daito plus a random signed shoto added together, and still no one went for it (oh but people are going for stuff of Ebay!). Perhaps it is because the daito is not quite long enough, or the mei was signed a little bit off, or that it has no papers etc etc. But aren't we suppose to collect on artistic merit, and, in this case, historical significance/rarity because of the daisho, not on how long something is or how it was signed?
Sorry, just wanted to rant. I can't buy this, i made a commitment to stop. But i really do hope Travis/Mr. Clarke (however you like to be addressed by a 30-something person) can someone survive his financial strain to not sell it at this price. There's two ways to put this i think: either 1) whoever thinks it's worth less than $2,395 USD does not know what they're getting and is less deserving to get it than someone who does, or 2) Price for sold crap on Ebay is rising...don't know about mid-tier stuff like this but either way the longer you wait the better

some very good points Caleb, I feel for Travis.
I know its hard to sell something you enjoy to pay the bills. its a crying shame no one has bought them yet. but theres was a chap who had a sword go missing with Canada post , this maybe the cause of the hesitation

Customer Ratings & Reviews
- "WOW this experience was easier than we thought but the salesmanship and the professionalism of Simon make this process so much easier. He involved other team members to make sure that we got the most from our trade and was knowledgeable on the options that we had to purchase the car that was best for us. He was patient and kind and that is something that we admire. Many times when car shopping the salespeople are pushy but Simon was excellent and we will refer future business to Auto West Infiniti. Was well worth the drive here. Thank you Simon."
- "Thank you for your service follow-up, as always your team is top notch with service and performance. I also wanted to express my appreciation for your exemplary service provided in repairing a flat tire. I arrived a day early to the appointment and with the level of service given, I would have never known. Jamie and his team had my car in, the flat repaired and I was back on the road within the hour. Amazing service. Despite our move from Richmond, Auto West Infiniti remains our dealership of choice. The people and service are well worth the drive. Thank you for your excellent service over the past several years! Kudos to you and your team!"
- "Your staff , from the woman who greeted us at the front to Jamie to any employee we ran into during our wait [were] exceptional, well trained, very friendly and very knowledgeable. We continue to recommend Infiniti and specifically your dealership to our friends and acquaintances. Thank you all for the professional treatment and service of the vehicle."
- "We picked up our car last Friday and wanted you to know what a great experience it was. Eric's service was the best I've ever had at a car dealership, and the condition and presentation of the car were perfect. I will definitely recommend Eric and Auto West to friends and family."
- "I had required some service to my vehicle and I want to thank Auto West Infiniti for the way they treated me! They were courteous and got me on my way so quickly. Both Jamie and Michael listened to my concerns and got me back on the road without any fuss. They even cleaned my car! I love the service they provided!"
- "I wanted to send you this email to recognize the efforts Jamie has put forth with customer service. My experience with Jamie has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and is great with follow up. He is always in a positive, friendly and happy mood, and honestly it makes a world of a difference. I hope you will take the time to recognize him amongst his fellow colleagues as he is the role model every service advisor/customer relations representative should be."
- "I would like to personally thank you, it's amazing how u handle the situation in such professional manner, problem solving in such a short time, I don't think I ever encounter someone who is such positive & helpful as you. So far my experience with Auto West Infiniti group it's been amazing. I really appreciate all u have done at the end even thought it wasn't what I original planned out, but I'm glad it's been resolved. I will highly recommend your group to everyone I know and look forward to do business with you in the future."

The pie (Tarte au citron is only fancy french for lemon pie ^^) is kinda failed, the custard is not nearly as high as in the picture of the recipe I used... I think I will try again and whip it a bit more!

This Sunday, September 7, the Mullumbimby Community Gardens (MCG) will hold the Living Community Festival.
Program Coordinator Hannah Forrester said the festival is designed to "engage the community in sustainability".
Local crafts, arts and foodstalls as well as workshops in permaculture, biodynamics and biochar will be held at the festival. There will also be kids activities, a jumping castle and silent disco, making it truly an event for all ages.
The annual Spring event has grown larger each year and is evidence of the continuing drive towards diversity that the Northern Rivers has come to expect as a way of life.
But what are the reasons people from all over the world are ending up in places like Mullumbimby and deciding to call it home?
The best way to learn about a place is to speak to the people who live there so I interviewed some of the residents to get their opinions.
Jamie, who is orginally from Austen, Texas has been living in Mullumbimby for nearly a year and he intends to make a life there.
"[Mullumbimby] is a storybook town that seems to have everything I need to be happy... I feel like I'm in a little bit of a bubble here... it's kind of a healing space," he said.
Cecille from France, has lived in Mullumbimby for two-and-a-half years and she will be running a crepe stall at the festival.
"Mullum is very different from the rest of Australia... I love it here, this is where I want to stay," she said.
Sol Farrina, a former president of MCG, and a resident of Mullumbimby for over 30 years said he applauds the local council for its foresight in allowing the community to have a space like the MCG and hopes that it will show the way for a lot of other communities around Australia.
"The MCG is bringing people together, growing food, because growing food is like a lost art," he said.
General entry tickets are $10 at the gate or there are a limited amount of Gold Pass tickets for $45 which gives you access to the Santos Organics Positive Action Forum.
For further information please visit the Mullumbimby Community Garden's website.

Windows Azure Blob storage is a service for storing large amounts of unstructured
data that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via HTTP or HTTPS. A single
blob can be hundreds of gigabytes in size, and a single storage account can contain
up to 100TB of blobs. Common uses of Blob storage include:
For your business, you would like to take advantage of Microsoft Azure data
centers and infrastructure,
but you don't want to write code to use the raw Azure Storage interface. You need
to find an application that is already integrated with Azure Storage and ready to
Gladinet Cloud works with Azure Storage to provide simple online collaboration,
online file storage, offsite backup and team workspace solution. Just sign up for
an account and it is ready to use.
Gladinet Cloud provides access methods to Azure Storage from a web browser, native
desktop client, iOS App, Android App, Windows Phone 8 and file server. When you
are on the road, you can use the mobile applications to access your files. When
you are in the office, you can connect to your on-premise file server for access.
You can also access them from your desktop at home or use a web browser from any
location on any client.
Gladinet provides unique synchronization technology that allows you to attach local
folders to cloud storage. Attaching a folder means that its contents immediately
become accessible to any device from any location (even before the sync is finished).
It also means that the attached folder will be synchronized with the cloud and any
changes made in the cloud from a remote mobile device will be synchronized back
to the attached folder. This is a powerful solution with no bulk ingestion roadblocks.
Administrators of the team account can create team folders for collaboration. Once
a team folder is created and assigned to a user or group, the team folder will appear
in the root of their Gladinet drive. Users can lock/unlock files, add comments and
setup notifications.
Gladinet Cloud enhances Azure Storage by providing encryption, file locking, auditing
and permission control at the folder level, with client-side enforcement.
You can share folders and files with your team members. Team members receiving these
shares will see the files and folders under the "Files Shared with me" folder. You
can assign read-only permission or full access to the shared items. You can also
share folders and files with someone outside your team, who doesn't have a Gladinet
Cloud account. They can receive read-only access, protected by a password.
Gladinet Cloud Server Agent is part of the Gladinet Cloud. By connecting your Azure
Blob cloud storage to a file server, multiple office users can then connect to
the file server without a Gladinet client through file shares on the LAN. This has
multiple benefits. For example, it unifies file structures across multiple sites
into a single namespace and can be used to seamlessly migrate your existing file
server to the cloud.
If you have at least one Gladinet Cloud Server installed inside your active directory
domain, it can serve as the authentication integration server helping to import
active directory users into your Gladinet Cloud team account, with single sign-on.
You can also setup LDAPS if it is available. End result is you can access Azure
Storage Cloud Storage, with your own Active Directory identity.

I think Arc's point about building up to leaving a chunk also fits in.
My assumption is that a Zone represents a larger area. So while I might be playing in a 256x256 representation of a canyon, the canyon itself is much bigger. But really, why would I need to walk around "more canyon" hence the border limit.
So then we use Arc's tech upgrades to find and leave the canyon to an Ice Field zone. and so on...
I'm not saying biomes wouldn't repeat mind you, but I can buy into the idea that they are bigger than the actual zone, and that it would be very boring in real life to spend more time walking around more of the same. Zones, crafting and fast travel would kind of cut to the chase, so to speak.
