Today's Prompt for the Blog Dare 2012 from Bloggy Mom is to write about the Best Aspect of My Life...
Fortunately for me, this did not require any thought at all! The best aspect of my life is that I get to be at home with my children! I don't have to wake up early every morning, rushing to get ready for work, dragging the kids out of their slumber, and rushing them out the door, so that some other person can enjoy the pleasure of spending more time with my children than I do.
I love that I get to be there with them first thing in the morning, throughout the day and to pick them up at the end of the school day.
Don't get me wrong, I have my days where I find myself daydreaming of what it was like to be in the presence of adults, but those moments pass, and I enjoy the fact that I get to be with my children.
I love that if we want to stay in our PJ's all morning we can, if we want to cuddle and watch movies on a rainy day, we can. We can craft, bake, build forts, go on hikes, take trips to the zoo, beach or library...we can be whoever and whatever our hearts feel like any given day.
I don't have to worry about calling in sick when a child is sick, or handing over one and a bit of a pay-check to daycare. I don't have to drive in rush hour traffic, and I don't have to miss important school and sporting events.
The best aspect of my life is being a stay-at-home mom!

It took six more years before then Fortis CEO and current Nalcor CEO Stan Marshall got around to describing the project as a "boondoggle". But Vardy was there, at the starting gate, absent any but the public interest, to warn of that likely outcome and to replace hyperbole and falsity, often issued under the guise of patriotism, with objective analysis.
In December of 2016 Nalcor's CEO announced that the contract with Astaldi had been renegotiated, raising the contract from $1.1 billion to $1.83 billion, an increase of 66%.
This led to calls for a forensic audit and a public inquiry. The provincial government will soon be appointing a public inquiry into the escalating costs to determine the reasons. However it is likely that part of the problem stems from the inexperience of Nalcor, a crown corporation created in 2007, whose expertise in the electric power business resides primarily in NL Hydro and which has had no experience in a project of this size and complexity.
Is there any similarity between the situation faced in 2012 by the NL PUB and that faced by the BCUC today?

Update: Following post-race tech inspections the winning GT Flying Lizard Porsche was excluded from the results so Olly and Tommy move to 10th in the results and score one point! They are now joint second in the points with Joey Hand/Dirk Muller and 7 points behind Jan and Antonio.
Mosport may have been very rewarding for Olly Gavin this time 12 months ago, as he stood on the top step of the GT winners' podium, but today's Canadian Tire Motorsport Park race delivered the cruellest of blows to the British driver and his American team mate Tommy Milner.
A transmission problem side-lined the No.4 Corvette from second place in class after just 14 minutes of running and, although the team was able to make repairs and get the car back out on track some 20 laps later, an eventual 11th place in class yielded little return for their efforts and no points towards the highly competitive title chase.
After qualifying second on the GT grid in a Corvette front-row lock out, Tommy and Olly were confident that a solid race would keep them firmly in the championship hunt. But, as Olly explains, it was an all-round disappointing day for both the team and drivers:
"It hasn't been the weekend for us, and today has been a pretty dreadful day – to put it mildly! Tommy took the start and was running well when he suddenly lost all drive in the car as he was going to Turn 5. At the moment we don't know what the problem was as it wasn't anything obvious, but it will be fully investigated once we get back to the shop. As it was the guys did a great job to replace the gearbox internals and get us back out, albeit 20 laps down.
"From then on it was a case of trying to stay out of everyone's way and hope that someone else had issues which would drop them down the order and allow us to take away a few points. Unfortunately this didn't happen today and we finished 11th in class and out of the points.
"As the #3 car also had a few issues and eventually finished 3rd, the points situation isn't as bad as it might have been and we are only 5 points behind Jan and Antonio now. It could have been a lot worse but it would have been less disappointing and demoralising if we'd managed to take away a couple of points. We'll just have to do that at Mid-Ohio now…not just a couple but go for maximum points."
The next round of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón is the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge. The sixth round of the 2012 championship is set for 1 pm ET on Saturday, 4th August from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. ABC's broadcast featuring live coverage begins at 2 pm ET.

Squeaky Clean Bath & Shower Gel - Scented
Sulphate-free shower gel, scented with essential oils
Natural skin care starts when you wash yourself. This SLS- and paraben-free Bath & Shower Gel will cleanse you effectively and contains no harsh detergents that strip your skin.
Because we don't use SLS, the most common foaming agent in the skin care industry, our gels don't behave in exactly the same way as most commercially available shower gels – and that's a good thing. We've all been trained over the years to equate bubbles with cleanliness but, to be perfectly honest, that's just an illusion. Our gels do bubble, but not in the effusive way you might have been used to (and remember, all those bubbles go down the drain and potentially effect our water table). However, our gels do get you perfectly clean. And you'll notice how much less dry your skin feels after a shower or bath, meaning you don't have to use as much moisturiser. So it's all good. Do remember that because this product is fresh, it needs to be shaken every time you use it.
Choose from our standard blends: stimulating Tea Tree & Peppermint; soothing Sweet Orange & Vanilla; zippy Citrus Zing (a blend of grapefruit, may chang, bergamot & lemon); Clary Sage & Lime; Rose & Vanilla or Cedarwood & Lemongrass . Or create your very own blend in the custom made section. We make custom orders every Tuesday, and ship them on a Wednesday.

Product Testimonials Squeaky Clean Bath & Shower Gel - Scented
have used these products since finding them in a guest house in penzance,love them wouldn't use anything else.
mr.m watters
Just started to use your products. I really like the shower gel a little goes a long way and my skin feels lovely
My husband loves the Clary Sage & Lime.
Described it as clean fresh and wakening. Subtle fragrance due to the oils rather than a perfume. Very delicate.
Kate Willmoth
I've now tried two of these shower gels and love them both! The lavender shower gel has a beautiful, gentle and calming smell and it is the only lavender scented product I've ever had that actually smells like the lavender plants that I have in my garden instead of something artificial and sickly. The sweetorange and vanilla has a lovely vibrant orange scent that is slightly softened by the vanilla. Although the description says that these shower gels won't bubble as much as ordinary ones I have found that a little goes a long way and that when I use them on my shower pouf they froth beautifully! It is so nice to use something that is kind to my skin and the environment too. :)
Mary Griffiths
Lemony Fluff.... the only known thing on the planet to make me want to get out of bed and into the shower... Also so kind to the skin - mine and the children's - does not dry your skin out like so many shower gels do. We also use it as bubble bath.
Love the ingredients but don't like the new thin shiny bottles, they slip out of your hand easier when wet and have a higher centre of gravity so easier to knock over when on a shelf.
Pure Nuff Stuff Response - sorry you don't like the new bottles Gary, the old style ones were getting so thin that they were buckling with the amount of essential oils we use, so we had to make a change.
Garry Brindley
I'm having loads of fun combining different oils to make the perfect scents. I used to have to avoid scented products because most contain SLS and parabens along with artificial "parfum" which caused me skin problems. But none of that with these very gentle shower gels combined with essential oils.
My favourite combinations so far have been Vanilla & Cinnamon (smells like tasty pastries!) and Lavender & Cedarwood which is a nice variation on the usual Lavender scent. Its a bit fresher somehow. I find it very relaxing and rejuvenating (never find lavender makes me sleepy).
My boyfriend is enjoying the blend I picked for him which is Bergamot, Patchouli & Ginger. Its a kind of woody/earthy scent with a hint of spice.
We use the shower gels as shampoo as well (it doesn't seem to be that different from the shampoo and can be customised) and the products leave a lovely scent on the hair. Also great as bubble bath. So very versatile!
Alexandra Coyne
Love this, smells fantastic. Really pleased with it.
Claire Watson
Thanks so much Claire, glad you like it! - The Pure Nuff Stuff Team

With the birth of the Republic of Peru in 1821, the newly independent Peruvian government converted the nation's former colonial administrative regions into eight departments. Over time, increasing support for less centralization and a push towards regionalization promoted the creation of further administrative areas. By the 1980s, Peru was divided into 24 departments and one special province, the Constitutional Province of Callao.
Despite the eternal push and pull of Peruvian politics -- including attempts to reorganize the nation's administrative boundaries -- Peru's main subnational divisions have remained relatively unchanged.
Today, Peru consists of 25 administrative regions (including Callao) run by regional governments: the gobiernos regionales. These regions of Peru are still commonly known as departments (departamentos); each department is subdivided into provinces and districts.
For the names given to Peruvians born in specific cities and regions, read Demonyms of Peru.
Administrative Regions of Northern Peru
Northern Peru is home to the following eight departments (with departmental capitals in brackets):
Loreto is the largest department in Peru, but has the second lowest population density. This vast jungle region is the only Peruvian department to share a border with three countries: Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.
The north coast of Peru is home to many of the nation's most fascination pre-Inca ruins, especially in the departments of La Libertad and Lambayeque. Head inland from Chiclayo and you'll reach the Amazonas department, once the realm of the Chachapoyas culture (and home to Kuelap fortress). The main west-to-east highway continues as far as Tarapoto in the department of San Martin, from where you can travel overland to Yurimaguas before boarding a boat to Iquitos, the deep-jungle capital of Loreto.
The departments of Northern Peru receive far fewer tourists than those of the south, but the Peruvian government has plans to promote and develop tourism in this fascinating region.
Administrative Regions of Central Peru
The following seven departments are located in Central Peru:
- Ancash (Huaraz)
- Lima
- Callao (Callao)
- Huánuco (Huánuco)
- Pasco (Cerro de Pasco)
- Junín (Huancayo)
- Ucayali (Pucallpa)
Despite attempts at decentralization, all roads still lead to Lima. The urban sprawl of the Peruvian capital is home to the country's government and a large percentage of the Peruvian population, as well as the main hub for commerce and transport. Callao, now engulfed by the larger Lima Metropolitan Area and lying within the department of Lima, retains its own regional government and the title of Constitutional Province of Callao.
Head east from Lima and you'll soon been in the rugged highlands of Central Peru, home to the country's highest city, Cerro de Pasco (located at 14,200 feet above sea level, so prepare for altitude sickness). In the department of Ancash, meanwhile, lies Peru's highest peak, the towering Nevado Huascaran.
To the far east of Central Peru lies the large department of Ucayali, a jungle region pierced by the Ucayali River. The department's capital, Pucallpa, is a large port city from where boats depart to Iquitos and beyond.
Administrative Regions of Southern Peru
Southern Peru consists of the following 10 departments:
- Ica (Ica)
- Huancavelica (Huancavelica)
- Ayacucho (Ayacucho)
- Apurímac (Abancay)
- Arequipa (Arequipa)
- Moquegua (Moquegua)
- Tacna (Tacna)
- Cusco (Cusco)
- Puno (Puno)
- Madre de Dios (Puerto Maldonado)
Southern Peru is the nation's tourism hotspot. The department of Cusco is the main draw for both local and international tourists, with the city of Cusco (the former Inca capital) and Machu Picchu drawing in the crowds. The classic Peruvian "gringo trail" itinerary lies almost entirely within the southern departments, and includes popular destinations such as the Nazca Lines (department of Ica), the colonial city of Arequipa and Lake Titicaca (department of Puno).
To the northeast (and sharing a border with both Brazil and Bolivia) lies Madre de Dios, the department with the lowest population density in Peru. To the far south lies the department of Tacna, the gateway to Chile.

Lower Limb Surgery
The lower limb could be affected by aches and pains of various muscles, joints, ligaments etc. The most common cause of pain is arthritis of the hip and knee joints.
Arthritis of hip joint and replacement
Arthritis of the hip joint is commonly due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes arthritis follows trauma or other diseases like Perthes' disease.
The pain in hip joint arthritis is usually felt in the groin. It could be quite incapacitating as far as day to day activities are concerned. Depending upon the magnitude of symptoms, patients are initially treated with painkillers, anti-inflammatory tablets, restriction of activities, walking aids etc. When the non-surgical treatment no longer proves effective, then a joint replacement could be of immense help to the patient.
A total hip replacement replaces the cup and the ball of the hip joint. Many different types of materials are now available. The cup and the ball with stem could be inserted with/without cement. The pros and cons of different materials are usually discussed with the patient.
Primary total hip replacement is nowadays, a sound procedure for the right patient. A thorough pre-operative check is necessary. Following admission the operation is performed with different types of anaesthesia which the consultant anaesthetist will discuss with the patient. Total hospital stay following surgery is 5 to 7 days. After the operation the pain is controlled with adequate painkillers. The patient is mobilised by a physiotherapist together with walking aids whilst in hospital. When the mobilisation is satisfactory the patient will be allowed home to continue their recovery. Often arrangements will be made to review the patient at home by a District Nurse. The wound will be checked within 10 to 12 days and the patient will be reviewed in the clinic approximately one month following surgery. After three months, the patient should be feeling much better due to relief of pain and increased mobility.
Although the success rate of the hip replacement is very high, it is important to remember that there can be complications like infection, DVT (deep vein thrombosis), dislocation etc. Much care is always taken in order to prevent any complication occurring.
Knee arthritis
The knee joint is one of the most common joints to be affected by wear and tear, arthritis and following trauma and often with meniscus (cartilage) and ligament problems.
Pain in the knee due to arthritis can be quite incapacitating. It is very important to evaluate the knee by thorough clinical examination and in the first instance treated non-surgically with painkillers, anti-inflammatory tablets, reduction of activities, walking aids, physiotherapy etc.
Keyhole surgery (arthroscopy) is carried out to evaluate the extent of the joint's disease and also at the same time can treat cartilage problems. Arthroscopy does have limited value for arthritic conditions. If the symptoms demand, then a total knee replacement would be required.
Before knee replacement surgery, thorough pre-operative assessments are carried out including blood tests, X-rays, ECG etc. If the patient is fit for surgery then he/she will be admitted accordingly and the operation will be performed. Following surgery the patient will be required to stay in hospital for 5 to 7 days. During this period, any pain the patient experiences will be controlled with painkillers and the patient will receive physiotherapy to mobilise.
Total knee replacement involves removing the lower part of the femur (thigh bone) with metal and replacing the upper part of the leg bone (tibia) with metal and plastic. The back of the kneecap may be replaced with a plastic button.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a very good operation with good success rates. There may however be complications like infection and DVT (deep vein thrombosis) but steps are taken in order to prevent these occurring.

Companies and the ''Social Media Revolution''. The use of Web 2.0 tools for interaction with users.
Giulia Bignoli - Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi di Milano - [2008-09]
Web 2.0 tools are becoming more and more popular and companies are facing a sort of "social media revolution". In this work we develop and test hypothesis related to users' involvement in brand on-line communities. Using feedbacks from 166 on-line community members we perform a regression analysis showing that perceived behavioural control and repeat patronage positively affect the intention to perform a community behaviour and the intention to perform a loyal behaviour. We made also a comparison between on-line communities created by companies and on-line communities created by users which opens the discussion for the managerial implications.

We were testing a mobile app which had various APIs, and now our test idea was to test for; "How does our app handle various endpoint responses like 400, 404, 500 and others apart from 200 OK status message?" Example: If you were testing a web application and you see 500 Internal Server Error with some other details and then you report it to the developer, and then the developer reverts to you saying, it is working fine now and he / she is not able to reproduce it. Then, you refresh the 500 Internal Server Error Page, unfortunately or fortunately it works! Now, you keep on trying for many hours to see that message, but you don't! This was the problem that we were facing and we came up with the idea of developing our own API(s) which could help us to test for endpoint responses while we simulate different types of endpoint responses forcibly in order to see how our app code handles it. Note that, this can be used for Web Application Testing or Mobile App Testing or wherever you want to know how endpoint responses are handled by your app code. We just used Mobile app as an example to help you understand the context.
Where it can be used?
Prototyping : During early stage of your app development where you do not have LIVE API or Server, you could run these kind of tests to get the early feedback of how your app handled such scenarios.
Unit Testing: It can be used by developers who can call our APIs to test various scenarios.
Check Automation: You can call our APIs with different HTTP status codes like 500, 404, 400 etc. to see how your app code handles these things so that you are sure, what will be displayed to your users / customers.
Last, but not least; you can use it wherever you see the need or an idea.

Chocolate Glitter Glam
Makeup Tutorial
Today, I finally got out of my comfort zone and did a bold makeup tutorial! I really liked the way that it came out and I know you will too. I am anticipating negative comments about not washing my face or at least taking a makeup removing wipe and cleaned off the old makeup from earlier that day. To be honest - I am not the only one who does that! Have you ever had to turn your day makeup into something more suitable for night time events? *Raises hands, arms and legs* MEEE! I have no problem being realistic. My non sponsored videos is the best way to really be - me.
What I used in this video:

Alcohol Can Undermine Your Weight-Loss Efforts
As we head into the holiday season, typically your social life is on the upswing and you find yourself having a few more cocktails than usual, it could be working against your efforts to lose weight. Alcohol can add hundreds of calories to your daily total, often making the difference between weight loss, maintenance or gain. For example, one glass of beer or wine can contain at least 100 calories. So if you're having a couple of drinks with your cronies a few nights a week, you could be adding 1,000 unexpected calories to your diet. Also, alcohol acts as an appetite stimulant, and thus can lead you to indulge in foods that aren't consistent with your weight-loss plan. So, if you're dieting, keeping your alcohol intake to a minimum can help you keep your eating habits on track.
You can learn more about maintaining a healthy lifestyle by contacting the weight-loss professionals at HMC Weight Loss Centers. Complete the Schedule an Appointment Form to the left or give us a call today at (951) 547-1280 for more information about our Corona weight-loss clinic or (714) 543-2673 for our Tustin weight-loss clinic.

Nathan created this super cute monster cake for the contest. I, of course, baked it, stacked it and put white frosting on it. He did the rest. He was very proud, and with good reason, it came out super cute!

Diary of a Homestay
by Susanne K
My homestay family is devoutly Catholic and they have a lot of fun together. The parents, four grown children, a pregnant daughter-in-law and her two-year old son all live under the same roof. This is not an uncommon arrangement in Guatemala where families are generally close and rents are high in relation to incomes.
This family's house is large, two storied and has been under construction for 14 years. Each night the family huddle around a tiny round table for dinner with a makeshift kitchen in a nearby corner. A large unfinished, once modern, dining and cooking area sits a few metres away. It is filled with boxes, junk and still-boxed dishwashers and other appliances waiting to be installed. There is a mountain of rubble in another corner next to a spiral staircase which leads to the unfinished living quarters on the first floor.
I am told the house has cost more than US$400,000 so far and that the suspended construction and subsequent brick camping arrangement is the result of council and building industry corruption as well as changing legislation.
The family talk slowly and loudly to me during dinner. It is like a four on one Spanish lesson with catering. I feel pressure to make them feel like they are good teachers, especially when I have no idea what's being said to me despite their collective effort. One word that will definitely not be forgotten is 'sabroso', meaning tasty. This is because I confused sabroso with 'amoroso' (amorous/loving) when trying to compliment the chef and papa nearly fell off his chair with shock and laughter.
On my second day, I woke up inside what felt to be a machine from the industrial revolution, with the sounds and vibrations of metal on metal and a rusty castle drawbridge yawning open.
The next morning I was quicker to realise what was piercing my half-consciousness: the sound of papa's car engine reverberating around the concrete garage beside my room. In fact this was virtually the same room, because the large window between us contained no glass. The moat door was simply the house's ornate iron veneer splitting open to release him to the world for another working day. Though it was a traumatic way to wake, I might not be relaying this scene if it had not occurred at 4.30am.
It was fortunate this soundscape was approaching familiar by the third morning when the parrot, which lives under a large piece of cloth in the garage, decided to chime into the cacophony. Its contribution was a mash of jazz skat, Sybil characters with Latin accents, and potted phrases like 'that's so funny' followed by psychotic laughter. This would have been disturbing, even if I was fully conscious.
As well as having a soft spot for parrots, the big-hearted mama collects street dogs, which roam freely in the house's central courtyard. A few times a day, their tussles escalate way beyond playfulness so that intermittent canine aggression and unpredictability rounds off the domestic ambience nicely with a special brand of menace.
Wifi, which can only be accessed by leaning your device into the glassless window frame in an effort to pick up a signal in the two square foot hotspot, is another idiosyncrasy.
It is becoming clear that this is all too steep a price to pay for my own bathroom. It is time to inspect the upstairs option with its curtain-walls.

Footage of a baby condor approaching and nuzzling his rescuer went viral on social media but partly for the wrong reasons. Nestor David who filmed the video told that his cousin Edgardo Della Gaspera rescued the young bird after it fell from its nest and was caring for him when the footage was filmed last month.
The video attracted much attention after some reports incorrectly claimed that the bird had flown down to visit Della Gaspera. However, a local article citing him corrected the claim, saying that the bird was still in Della Gaspera's care and too young to fly.
According to David, the condor is still living with Della Gaspera and is roaming around his farm freely. David shared two other videos of the bird that show him taking a bath and running towards the camera when he hears his name, Condorito.

Henrietta Lacks
(Image: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/2001/07.19/04-filmmaker.html)
Does a tumor removed from your body belong to you? What happens to it once the biopsy is done, once the doctors have given the verdict of cancerous or not? Should it be destroyed or can it be used for further medical study? Should further use be disclosed? Should permission be sought? Does the biomedical field have the right to use and further share knowledge and material from your body?
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a fascinating study of the contrast between these very issues and the compelling story of Henrietta Lacks, a woman to whom we are all indebted. Contrary to what you may be thinking right now, the book is not stuffed full of confusing medical jargon, although there is some. Don't worry about that, you will feel smart rather than confused, especially as you follow the authors pursuit and recounting of the realities faced by the family after the loss of their mother. The human component is well mixed in with the alternate story, which is the fascinating way Henrietta's cells replicate compared to other cells. The key to the story is that during a cervical surgery in 1951, Henrietta's cells were removed and sent for further study. They were discovered to replicate endlessly without dying, something that had not been discovered with any other cells before. The cells were subsequently shared, and shared, and shared, forming the basis of biomedical research today. Thus Henrietta's cells are truly immortal. Many advances in the biomedical field are attributed to these cells. However, while her cells are the basis for scientific improvements they are also the basic component of a multibillion dollar industry worldwide. Do you see how further discussion will be required by your book club here?
The name of Henrietta's cells are HeLa, a term you will become very familiar with by the end of the first chapter. The name originates from a scientific naming practice at the time that used the first two letters of both the first name and last name of a donor (whether the donor was witting or not). Thus Henrietta Lacks' cells became HeLa.
(Image of HeLa cell from: http://www.nih.gov)
While the importance of HeLa cells to medical advancement and uses today are well enumerated by the author, the story of the woman and family the cells originated from is also deftly woven in bringing a human face and an ethical dilemma for the reader. In particular, that Henrietta's family had no idea their mother's cells were being used for study at all, let alone are THE cells used still today. They also have never received a penny for the use of the cells. Should they? What if I told you that you will discover there are other lines that were definitely crossed that add resonance to that question. For instance you will fume when you read how the children (including males) were misled over cervical cancer being hereditary and the subsequent testing they endured.
You will feel many conflicting emotions and be persuaded to lean one way and then the other as you advance chapter by chapter through the book. I promise that you will want to finish this one and you will be eager for your next book club discussion.

The Long Retreating Day
by John Gaskin
Published by Tartarus Press, 2006.
John Gaskin's latest collection of stories follows on from the critically acclaimed collection, The Dark Companion published in 2001. Subtitled Tales of Twilight and Borderlands it is a rich and diverse collection of weird tales.
Every mention of John Gaskin's work seems to also reference M.R. James and it's easy to see why. These are stories which are timeless, they evoke feelings of 19th or early 20th century fiction. This is a world of shooting estates, railways and academics placing bets over the existence of spirits in a church. Yet they also contain mobile phones, the trains are electric or diesel and even the internet is invoked, but it is the subject matter which remains in some temporal stasis. The Twilight and Borderlands of the subtitle are the twilights between life and death, old ways and new ways, the borderlands are those places which are strongly imbued with emotions to the extent that supernatural encounters or events occur, places at the edge.
So it's clear that Gaskin is writing within the classic ghost story tradition but these are not pastiches or an attempt by an author to try to impersonate a style, John Gaskin is the living breathing successor to the likes of M.R. James. In some distant future the compression of time will see him described as one of the great Ghost story writers, James, Blackwood and Gaskin will be discussed as a collective.
Topped and tailed by emotionally charged selections of poetry the stories are universally excellent. The Conceit Of The Dancing Man is perhaps the strongest nod to M.R James but this is followed by Tapiola, for me a direct successor to Blackwood's The Willows with its richly drawn landscapes and strange ethereal feel.
St Johns Wood is all tweeds and shotguns but also manages to be exciting and otherwordly at the same time. The High Stepping Man takes us back to the public schools and a master with some hidden secrets.
The Long Retreating Day sees a world on the brink of war and From Lydia With Love And Laughter manages to juxtapose classical Turkey with modern celebrity. The Bay Platform sees a mysterious figure who inhabits a world of railways and fog and Omega examines the boundaries between love, life and death.
Between those last two tales are for me the strongest stories in the book. Rigor Mortis tells of an antique chair and manages to invoke pathos and humour with a wry smile as the chairs powers are discovered. Finally Road Closed is without doubt a genre classic, it has everything from wild landscapes, impending doom and a modern relationship tale all brilliantly evocative and wonderfully readable.
I can imagine John Gaskin in a suit and tie, gold watch chain hanging from his waistcoat pocket, working by gaslight, he has a glass of whiskey and probably a pipe, the crackles from logs on an open fire are the only things which break the silence. He is composing a tale in a leather bound Journal using a fountain pen and piece of yellow blotting paper, only occasionally stopping to adjust his round wire framed glasses. Surrounding him are the works of the greats M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood etc, vast piles of dusty old tomes and shelves full of classics. His work has the ability to distort time and we should all be thankful that we are around to see the creation of these new classics.
Rating 4 out of 5

Something Red
Gilmore's second novel (after Golden Country ) takes an extended documentary look at divided loyalties within a suburban Washington, D.C., family caught in the cultural and political mayhem of late-1970s America. With the country seized by an energy crisis, a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan provoking an American wheat embargo, and a boycott against the Winter Olympics, Dennis Goldstein's job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture is imperiled, as is the business of his New Agey caterer wife, Sharon. Meanwhile, son Benjamin sets off to college, eager to emulate the activism of his grandparents' 1930s generation, and humorless 16-year-old daughter Vanessa dives into punk rock and bulimia. Gilmore excavates every thought process from each: Sharon recognizes that "her faith in the power to make changes in the world felt like a fluid that had been drained from her." Dennis, on the other hand, is the son of Russian Jewish émigrés for whom the deaths of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg proved the defining, shameful moment of their generation, and he becomes unwittingly tangled in his mother's Old World perfidy. Gilmore relentlessly chronicles these hapless characters' collective flight from numbness with verve. (Apr.)

Way back yonder in the 20th century, Halloween was second only to Christmas for most kids. Easter was number 3 when it came to getting neato stuff, if you can call copious sugar… stuff. Sugar was cheap and parents gave us more candy on those 3 days than we got the rest of the year.
My brothers and sister would grab over-sized pillow cases for booty sacks and rush from house to house for a trick or a treat. Very often the prize was a whole candy bar too and not the puny offerings we have these days either. Candy bars were big and heavy... and delicious. I once heard my mother tell someone that I could eat my weight in candy, as I loved the stuff. I was a candy consumer, while my brother Gordon was a hoarder and a saver. He would have candy for months and having it secreted away kept the rest of us from partaking of his loot.
With pillow cases so full they couldn't hold more, we would rush back to the house and dump the contents on our individual beds and head back out. We lived in a suburb of Toledo, Ohio and on any street; there might be one or maybe two houses that did not hand out candy. It was a monster, pirate, or hobo character's dream come true.
I remember one time when a lady handed each of us one of those giant individually wrapped mints with the chocolate coating. We rushed off and swapped pieces of costume and came back for seconds. She looked us over and asked if we had just been there and we blatantly denied it, wanting more of the giant candy. She dropped a Tootsie roll in each of our loot bags and this prompted my hoarder brother to retort, "Whatsa matta lady? You outta mints?"
It was ha-ha funny to all of us and we ran off laughing and as happy as kids can be.
I can't remember ever wearing a store-bought costume either. We made our own and used make-up for our masks. It was innocent and mischievous times where a trick wasn't destructive or malicious. We had imaginations as big as the nighttime's unknowns. Boogiemen were headless horsemen or a cornfield's scarecrow coming down off its anchor and chasing us. I was 11 the first time I read Robinson Crusoe and when he rescued Friday from the cannibals, the thought of a human eating another was so traumatic, I put the book down a week. Kids didn't know what they now know.
At the time I am referring to, monster craze was in full swing, with Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolfman, the Addams Family and the Munsters on TV. Friday night horror theater had a host named Morgus who would lead in a scary movie. I would watch through my fingers and pull something over my face each time the horrible whatever attacked. It was both the worst and best of times. It was scary delicious times and I miss the innocence of it.
Today's Halloween is a weak facsimile of the days 50 years ago when my siblings and I ran unescorted through Point Place, Ohio's streets. We knew better than to get hit by a car. Sheesh. Any kid back then knew that. Today's kids walk in front of cars and never know they are there. How could they? They have their eyes glued 18 inches in front of them.
We can blame one our own Texans from Pasadena for killing Halloween. Ronald Clark O'Bryan poisoned his own 8 year old son with a potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix for insurance money. Sadly, this Candy Man from Pasadena not only committed the worst kind of heinous crime against his own child, but he ultimately killed Halloween all across the country. Since November 1st, 1974, parents are scared to death on every level and rightly so. These times have indeed changed, like Old Bob said they were.
I haven't participated in any Halloween celebrations in about 20 years, I guess. The fun has left it for me. Back then it was simply monsters and boogie men and that was before I realized there were real monsters and boogie men out there. One of our kids can fall prey to them and that is why many civic locations and church groups stage a safer version and again, rightly so. Some things change for the better, but the Halloween of my youth is gone for good.

Hand Made Wooden Pens by Rodney Neep
The Chepstow is one of my very high quality pens. In traditional desk pen style it has a non-posting cap. Available as either a fountain pen or rollerball pen.
The metalwork is gold and rhodium plated, with fine decorative rhodium plated castings in the lower end band, the centre band, clip and top of the cap. The band castings are a vine with leaves, and the clip has a vine with tiny bunches of grapes.
This style of pen is only available in wood, and as either a fountain pen or rollerball pen.
I only use woods from my "special reserve" for this pen.
The nib is the large type (medium tip), gold plated and with a long lasting iridium tip, made by Bock of Germany.
*weights may vary depending on wood type.
Below: A special desk set of a rollerball pen and a fountain pen in elm burl on a natural elm burl stand. These pens are slightly different from the normal Chepstow in that they have some black metal fittings instead of gold. Special price Ł238
See Desk Sets
#662 - Chepstow Fountain Pen - Spalted Elm Burl
Some of the finest spalted elm burl from my special reserve. Rich blondes and creams in a swirly contorted burl grain pattern. Spalting is where the wood has been allowed to go partly rotten, resulting in the pale lines in the grain. Of course, it is impregnated and stabilised as part of the process of making the pen, so it is now very hard. The end result is a stunning pen worthy of any desk and is sure to be admired by all who see it. When you use the pen, be sure to leave the cap on display. It is fascinating from whichever angle you view it.
#661 - Chepstow Rollerball Pen - Tiger Myrtle
Tiger Myrtle has lovely tiger stripes in dark brown and tan. I import this wood specially from Australia, and only a few pieces at a time. The pen is finished with a mixture of shellac and carnauba wax to a satin gloss to enhance the natural appearance of the wood.
#663 - Chepstow Rollerball Pen - Water Buffalo Horn & Amboyna Burl
A very distinctive pen! The main body has segments of amboyna burl wood at each end. The wood is a "gold" colour to match the metalwork.
#664 - Chepstow Fountain Pen - Ceylon Ebony
#667 - Chepstow Rollerball Pen - Mallee Burl
A really beautiful pale golden burl wood from Australia.
#761 - Chepstow Rollerball Pen - Amboyna Burl
A little more pale than usual for Amboyna burl, but one of the very best wood types in the world. Very rare wood from South East Asia. Lots of tight swirly burl grain, and a lovely golden colour.

Already more than half of the world's population lives in cities – and this number is growing. Modern cities depend largely on invisible infrastructures that usually only become noticeable when they cease functioning. Similarly, the internet is also a material infrastructure, although it is often portrayed as immaterial. The much-hyped 'Smart Cities' promise to digitise the urban merging of these two infrastructural layers. But what happens when they fail? Can cities be smart – and should they be in the first place? What are the interests and values embodied in these infrastructures? How do we make sure that cities in the digital society remain public spaces? How can they be designed to foster social benefits and not just commercial interests?
Stephen Graham is Professor of Cities and Society at Newcastle University's School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. He has an interdisciplinary background linking human geography, urbanism and the sociology of technology. Since the early 1990s Prof. Graham has used this foundation to develop critical perspectives addressing how cities are being transformed through remarkable changes in infrastructure, mobility, digital media, surveillance, security, militarism and verticality. His books include "Telecommunications and the City" (with Simon Marvin), "Disrupted Cities: When Infrastructures Fail" and "Vertical: The City From Satellites to Bunkers". Professor Graham's 2011 book "Cities Under Siege: The New Military Urbanism" was nominated for the Orwell Prize in political writing and was the Guardian's book of the week.

So tomorrow Black Friday is going live with countless retailers and with great anticipation from many customers. I know some people love a bargain and are excited by the prospect of getting a good deal on this one day, but I absolutely hate it.
Ugly Scenes from 2014
Remembering those scenes from last year where people were trampling on others to try and get a discounted widescreen television makes me feel sick. Many people were injured, and the level of violence towards shoppers and staff was astonishing. One of the comments that sticks out most for me from last year was from a man who said he found himself fighting over a kettle that he didn't even need or particularly want. Can you believe that a few discounted items could make people suddenly turn so brutal and so primal? If it didn't fill me with complete disbelief, I'd find it comical that a discounted kettle could send so many people camping outside a shop from the early hours and then running round the aisles fighting like warriors.
What's It All About?
Black Friday was the name given to the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in The States and coincides with the last payday before Christmas. It signals the real start of Christmas shopping.
Imported from The States through stores like Walmart (Asda) and Amazon, the effect over here has been less than civilised. Certain discounts from retailers are genuinely good, but others jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon are poor. A quick look through my inbox shows retailers jostling loudly for attention. "50% off Everything" is one of the better looking deals. "Up to 60% Off All Toys" sounds enticing until you realise that the "up to" is actually a measly 10% discount on most items.
All of these promotions send some sort of signal to our brains that if everyone is sending emails we too must act. This combined with a slight worry about Christmas shopping and "the need to get things done" sends many of us into full on panic mode. It instils some sort of fear in us that we must buy as much as we can on this one particular Friday at a reduced rate or the world will end. My sister who is normally a level-headed sort of girl even rang me asking what my kids want for Christmas as she wants to buy as much as she can on Friday.
Oh The Irony
I find it ironic that Asda (part of the Walmart group) are this year refusing to take part in Black Friday. As one of the early adopters to this retailing trend, it's interesting to see that they have now decided to U-Turn on the whole event and are refusing to take part.
I also find it ironic that the entire concept of Black Friday goes completely against the values between the two celebrations of which it is sandwiched: Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Christmas and whilst I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, both traditions value spending time with friends and family and being thankful for what we have. Nothing about a 50% discounted flat screen TV.
I've already made a start on my Christmas shopping. I've got a fair way to go but there is no way I'm going anywhere near the shops tomorrow. I don't think I'll even have time to shop online. And that's OK. I really don't care if I have to get the bulk of my shopping for 10 or 30% extra in price. I'd rather pay extra than end up in a fist fight with others.
Banish The Black
So what will we see at the end of tomorrow? I really hope that the news this year will be more positive; that there will be no more ridiculous scenes of people fighting over toasters, there will be no more stories of people being injured in the commotion of Christmas shopping. I really hope that tomorrow the "Black" will be gone forever from Friday.
Are you looking forward to the sales tomorrow or like me avoiding it all? I'd love to know your views!

The parents of murdered children Romy Nieuwburg, Savannah Dekker, and Nick Bood launched a petition calling for higher sentences in juvenile criminal law. Their children were killed by minors, and all three offenders received the maximum juvenile sentence of one or two years of juvenile detention plus youth institutionalized treatment. That is not high enough, according to the parents, NOS reports.
Savannah Dekker
The court in Utrecht sentenced a 17-year-old boy from Den Bosch to two years of juvenile detention and juvenile institutionalized psychiatric treatment for killing 14-year-old Savannah Dekker in Bunschoten last year. The boy was convicted of manslaughter on Friday. He was given the maximum penalty possible for a perpetrator his age under Dutch juvenile law, NOS reports.
The Public Prosecutor demanded two years of juvenile detention and juvenile institutionalized psychiatric treatment against the 17-year-old boy suspected of murdering 14-year-old Savannah Dekker from Bunschoten. That is the maximum sentence that can be imposed on the suspect, who was 16 years old when Savannah was killed, under juvenile criminal law, NOS reports.
The trial against 17-year-old Angelo S. from Den Bosch, suspected of murdering 14-year-old Savannah Dekker from Bunschoten last year, will start in June. The court in Utrecht reserved June 18th and 19th for the trial, AD reports.
For the first time in years, the number of murders and manslaughters increased in the Netherlands. So far this year, 159 people were killed by someone else, a massive 48 more than in 2016, according to figures from Moordatlas.nl, AD reports.
On Tuesday the police arrested two 15-year-old boys for stabbing 15-year-old Shakil to death in Almere. Shakil's murder was the fifth deadly incident in the Netherlands this year in which the suspects are 16 years old or younger.
On Friday the court in Utrecht remanded a 16-year-old boy from Den Bosch suspected of murdering 14-year-old Savannah Dekker from Bunschoten into custody for another three months. This was the teen boy's second appearance in court since he was arrested in June, AD reports.
The 16-year-old boy suspected of murdering 14-year-old Savannah from Bunschoten in June, will stay in custody for the next three months, the court ruled on Friday, NU.nl reports
The Public Prosecutor is charging the Den Bosch teenager with murder. The next hearing will be on November 24th.
The 16-year-old boy in custody for the death of 14-year-old Savannah Dekker from Bunschoten, is being charged with murder, the Public Prosecutor announced. The boy was previously charged with manslaughter, NU.nl reports.
The police are draining the Bunschoten ditch in which the body of murdered Savannah Dekker was found on June 4th. Officers are looking for the 14-year-old girl's wallet and phone, the Public Prosecutor said on Monday.
The family of murdered Savannah Dekker took out an ad in local newspaper De Bunshoter to thank the public for al their support and love in the aftermath of the 14-year-old Bunschoten girl's death. They experienced the support "as a blanket of love for us and Savannah", the family wrote.
The lawyer of the 16-year-old boy suspected in the death of 14-year-old Savannah Dekker, is pressing slander charges. The charges involve a photo of the boy appearing on Facebook with the text: "This is Savannah's killer", AD reports.
The photo appeared on social media this weekend, and was removed soon after. According to the lawyer, the police know who posted it.
The 16-year-old boy in custody in connection with the murder of 14-year-old Savannah Dekker, was ordered removed from his home by the children's court, AD reports. He was set to be removed on June 7th, but this never happened as he was arrested on June 4th, according to the newspaper.
Romy Nieuwburg and Savannah Dekker, two 14-year-old Dutch girls killed in separate attacks last weekend, will both be laid to rest this week. Romy's funeral will be held in her hometown of Hoevelaken on Tuesday. And Savannah will be buried in her hometown of Bunschoten on Wednesday.
Many thousands of people flocked to Bunschoten on Thursday evening to take part in a silent march for murdered 14-year-old Savannah Dekker. Savannah's family members did not join the march, because they did not feel emotionally up to it, Bunschoten Mayor Melis vn de Groep said. "Our togetherness is for the family a great hung from our loving community. Savannah always greeted everyone with a hug", he said before the march began, NU.nl reports.
More people may be involved in the disappearance and death of 14-year-old Savannah Dekker from Bunschoten, head prosecutor in Midden-Nederland Jet Hoogendijk said in television program Jinek. A 16-year-old boy arrested for the girl's death was remanded into custody for another 14 days on Thursday. The Prosecutor believes that more arrests may follow.
A funeral for Savannah Dekker will be held in her hometown of Bunschoten on Wednesday next week. The memorial service is open to anyone who wants to attend, after which the 14-year-old girl will be buried in the presence of just her family and friends, according to the funeral card placed online at the request of her family.
The Bunschoten-Spakenburg police issued a warning against donating money to any fundraising campaigns for the family of Savannah Dekker, who was found killed in Bunschoten on Sunday. The 14-year-old girl's family is not aware of and hasn't approved any fundraising actions, the police write on Facebook.
"Social involvement is appreciated. However, fundraising actions for Savannah's family, are not in the name of the family. Be aware of where you donate your money."
The police are looking for witnesses in the investigation into 14-year-old Savannah Dekker's death in Bunschoten. The girl was found killed in a ditch on an industrial terrain in Bunschoten on Thursday. Investigators specifically want to talk to anyone who saw Savannah on her bicycle after she disappeared from home on Thursday, June 1st, the police said on Opsoring Verzocht on Tuesday. The bicycle was found the same day in nearby Hoogland.
A silent march will be held in Bunschoten on Thursday evening for Savannah Dekker, a 14-year-old local resident who was found killed in a ditch on industrial terrain De Kronkels on Sunday.
Romy Nieuwburg knew the boy the police suspect of involvement in her death. The two 14-year-olds met each other through friends about two years ago, AD reports. The boy, who was arrested on Monday, lives on a farm in Lunteren, according to the newspaper.
Savannah Dekker knew the 16-year-old boy arrested in connection with her death through social media, Bunschoten mayor Melis van de Groep said on Radio 1 Journaal. The police confirmed that both Savannah and Romy Nieuwburg were killed in crimes, though so far the cases seem to be unrelated, according to the news program.
Flags across Bunschoten are hanging at half mast today in remembrance of 14-year-old Savannah Dekker, who was found dead on an industrial terrain in the town on Sunday. Her family's church dedicated the Pentecost sermon to Savannah on Monday and her school arranged a meeting to offer support for teachers, classmates and parents.
The people who organized a search for 14-year-old Savannah Dekker in Bunschoten on Sunday, are angry at the police for not helping in the search. The police told them the action was "not necessary", initiator Angelique ter Haar said to AD. Savannah's body was found in a ditch on industrial terrain De Kronkels later that same day.
"The fact is that we only received a statement of support for our search, and no physical help." Ter Haar said to AD. "We certainly blame the police for that."

10 Jan Social Networks That Can Boost An Artist's Creativity
In many cases, artists think that spending time updating and sharing in the different social networks has no benefit. They do not understand the importance of social media for their professional projection. The reality is that a good online presence can open up many avenues and gain greater visibility.
According to the latest IAB Spain study on the use of social networks, 81% of Internet users between the ages of 16 and 55 use social networks, representing more than 15 million users in the country who connect an average of three hours daily.
Why Social Media?
The best-rated networks are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. It should not be forgotten that the categories most followed by users are culture, technology, and fashion. People love good art projects, which is a very positive point for all artists.
At present, it is essential to have an adequate presence in all social media networks as well as a web page.
It is crucial that artists are aware that spending time on the online image is not sacrificing moments dedicated to the creation, but invested in learning, sharing, knowing and generating contacts. Being in the social networks originates identity, presence, and audience. We are investing in ourselves since we not only generate engagement with our fans but possible clients too.
Proper management of social networks can help us find projects, clients, and contacts; provided that it is performed appropriately. It is necessary to be consistent and show your own artistic work that impacts. It is fascinating to seek the interaction of users through concrete activities such as virtual forums, web conferences or contests.
Niche social networks & video websites
Comminutes these days are very niche-oriented. It means it's not Facebook or Twitter that brings together the people interested in the same subject. Take a look at example of YoungPerps – this community has been just built and it gathers lovers of gay videos with fantasy scenario of perpetrators getting caught. It's simple idea, it's very taboo, but it's very niche as well. This is why it brings people interested only in such subject.
Social Media For A More Significant Online Presence
Knowledge and inspiration is the engine of an artist's life. It is necessary to remove the fear of sharing and making them known. It is imperative to understand that we must open the culture to the digital world and at the same time, take advantage of what we can bring.
Doing it well requires strategy, clear objectives, and constant measurement.
The first step is to create accounts, profiles or pages. Managing everything involves a lot of effort, so it may be interesting to hire an online marketing agency to take care of it; an investment that can be highly rewarded if we achieve greater projection of our artistic career.
It also helps us to position ourselves in the market.
What Are The Best Social Networks To Succeed If You Are An Artist?
In addition to the most popular ones such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+ and Instagram, there are others that are more linked to the specific activity of the artist.
Here are the Top 5 social networks for Artists:
- Snapchat: It is a network that is currently sweeping the younger audience. It is interesting to take into account to offer the most fun and outgoing side of an artist. Many celebrities use this app to improve their personal
- Behance: It is presented as a platform to show our work to potential clients, collectors or other artists. Of course, do not expect to make gold with this network, although it can help you get your way.
- Pinterest: It is basically a visual tool. It is followed by an audience that seeks inspiration. A highlight of Pinterest is that it is the social network that generates more referential traffic, that is to say, the one that carries the most traffic to our website. This is fantastic to know in depth the work of an artist. It is not necessarily a community to get viral. If the content is good, they will go viral beyond the community. Although other social networks also offer that possibility, Pinterest is more likely to get it.
- Domestika: Here, you can exchange knowledge, look for jobs or projects, do courses, etc. In short, you can learn, share knowledge and promote your creative work.
- Vimeo: This social media network allows you to create a channel of videos on the Internet and share it with the users. Unlike YouTube, it does not support advertising, which gives it a very professional profile.

Grand Hotel Kronenhof, located in Pontresina, six miles from St. Moritz, offers the best of both worlds: the chance to enjoy the glitz of St. Moritz, while staying in a peaceful mountain village.
Grand Hotel Kronenhof has a rich and interesting history, having first opened its doors in the first half of the 19th century as a guesthouse. However, the main part of the current building, which is a registered historical landmark, was built at the very end of the 19th century in Neo-Baroque style.
