With two representatives in Lok Sabha and three in the assembly, Titidanga, a hamlet of just 2,000 people in West Bengal, could be the epitome of India's democracy — and all that's wrong with it. This surfeit of lawmakers, which includes finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, has been insufficient to provide the village the most basic of amenities, be it metalled road, potable water or a health centre.
All five deep tubewells of this village are non-functional. And with no proper roads, one has to trudge along the seven-km bank of Bramhani river, which runs through the village, to even get there.
"We've to dig the riverbed to collect drinking water in summer. During monsoon we have to stay on the branches of trees as our homes remain inundated," said 71-year-old Rahamat Ali, a resident of the village, around 320 km north of Kolkata. A few years back, a teenager died as he fell into the Bramhani when he was returning home from a nearby market. "The riverbank is merely two feet wide, insufficient for even two bicycles to move side by side," asked Adori Bibi, a homemaker.
Titidanga has a rather unusual administrative map. The village falls under three assembly constituencies —Hasan, Nalhati and Nabagram — and two parliamentary constituencies.
"I have tried to deliver projects in my constituency. But I cannot claim that I have been successful everywhere. I hope to implement projects in the village that residents of the other two constituencies can also benefit from," said Dipak Chatterjee, Forward Bloc MLA of Nalhati.
As the state gets ready to go to polls next month, cynicism still rules the village and the villagers are a disillusioned lot.
"Vote asbe aar jabe… amra eki thakbo…(Elections will come, elections will, but our misery goes on for ever)," said Latika Khatun, a homemaker of the village.
"We are used to bagful of promises before the polls. This year too leaders, or their representatives, will come to seek our votes, but our condition will not change at all," said Rafatulla Sheikh.

Fulham made Radet enquiry
By Adam Marshall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Chris Coleman was scouring the market for a full back in case the bid to sign the German defender collapsed, and is believed to have had a number of players in mind.
Auxerre's classy performer Radet was one of the men under scrutiny, but Guy Roux has no intention of allowing another of his promising starlets to leave, certainly not before the end of the season.
Radet is still under contract with AJA until 2005, and the Ligue 1 club realise they will lose Djibril Cisse and Jean-Alain Boumsong in the close season.
Coleman also considered Chelsea's Mario Melchiot and Middlesbrough full back Stuart Parnaby as potential recruits, but managed to secure Volz's signature, and has also landed another full back in the shape of left-sided American Carlos Bocanegra.

PCS reintroduces its agitation threat over new pension plan
PCS is marked as the best trade union of government servant in the UK and it has again threatened the English government for more strikes in coming days if it does not rethink over the amendments in pension plans. The union has demanded for the proper conversation on the scheme to make it more beneficial and work for long time for the scheme. Besides, the union has also threatened the legal action if the government wished to move forward along with its warning to ignore it from more conversations. On the other side, the government has proposed a new government pension plan to compensate for the large deficit in its fiscal.
The government has watched very huge agitation from the people. As the government has felt it very unsafe scheme for their future, they stepped out of their home and raised their voices. Though, the unions have agreed to seat for discussion, but the basic demand of employees is seen very difficult to be finalised. For same day money apply for same day loans no credit checks @ http://www.samedayloansnocreditchecksuk.co.uk/
As the government has decided to bring significant growth in the employee's inputs in 3 phases between the current financial year and 2015, they think it convenient for the employee. After it, the government has decided to inject a new face of career pension plan for all the government staffs with the benefits age growing along with the rising pension age, finally up to 68. The age factor has driven a huge countrywide agitation by the end of November, 2011.
Though some government staff unions have displayed their wish to talk with the government, but the largest one PCS has dismissed any proposal from the government end. The general secretary of PCS has remarked that the government has tried its best to impose the new pension plan on very huge number of public staffs as teachers, health staffs and civil servants. They have tried to deceive the union by disgusting the conversation. The unions have informed the governments that they would love to be a part of any kind of discussion in future.
On the other side, the unions are very confident on their stand and say that the movement against the government pension scheme would be proved as the best tool to stop the unfairness

Northwest Native Lovebirds bracelets are a great addition to our Colorful Jewelry Collection. Haida and Tlingit Native Americans have two main clans, the Eagles and the Ravens. Members of the same clan cannot marry, so marriages typically signify the joining of an eagle to a raven. Eagle and Raven, when linked together, are consequently known as the Lovebirds.

These colorful Inukshuk bracelets are handmade from copper so they are lightweight, adjustable and always a pleasure to wear. A new Inukshuk was sometimes erected to mark a food cache of excess dried meat to be hoarded for future lean times for the Inuit people.
The bold and vibrant colors of the Inukshuk design on these handmade copper bracelets are fabulous. Inukshuk is the Inuit word meaning in the image of man. Groups of stacked stones usually in human form have been used by the people of the North for thousands of years. In recent years it has become a symbol of 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics as well as peace and friendship.

Literary Blog B, Hamlet At Wittenberg part 2
Literary Blog B, Hamlet At Wittenberg part 2
I open this one with an Added Note to the Rhymes Blog posted some days ago. In that, I referred to the Major General's Song in Pirates of Penzance. Now the Antiques section of last Friday's NYTimes announces that the Yale Center for British Art is opening a show of "Johan Zoffany, the 18th-century British painter" who was famous as a portraitist. This news can elicit only one response from Gilbert & Sullivan fans: we recall the great rhyme in another couplet of the Major General's Song: (from memory)
"I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerald Dows and Zoffanys,
I know the "Croaking Chorus" from the Frogs of Aristophanes. . ."
I was aware before that Gerald Dow (or Dou) existed as a painter, but here encountered Zoffany for the first time. But of course Gilbert would never have made him up--that would have been cheating, and Gilbert never cheated. Pushed words around sometimes (rhyming ". . lot 'o news" with "hypotenuse" in the same song) but didn't cheat.
Now, back to my Hamlet/Faust parody, of which the first half was printed in the previous blog. Hamlet as a student returns to Wittenberg to learn that his favorite professor, Faustus, has been fired from the university for having sex with one of his students, whom he believes to be Helen of Troy. Hamlet summons him up to get the truth from him. Faustus has just left as this second half begins:
Faust. Adieu, adieu, adieu! Remember me.
(Lights out, then up; Faustus is gone.)
Ham. Oh all you host of heaven! Oh earth! What else?
To think that they have fired this worthy man
For making such a reasonable choice!
I'm now resolved more than I ever was
To make them reconsider their decision.
We cannot tolerate injustice!
Oph. Ham,
We all agree the time is out of joint,
But why are we obliged to set it right?
Ham. You talk like someone over thirty; who
Will do it if we don't? The only issue
Is whether we should try by peaceful means
Of fair persuasion to effect our end,
Or bring th'Administration to its knees
With crippling blows 'gainst its security.
We plant a bomb, we occupy an office,
And soon or later, they capitulate.
Which do we think would be the wiser course?
Guild. It seems to me that we should first decide
Whether the reinstatement of old Faustus
Suffices, as a cause, for our involvement.
Perhaps his actions justify his firing.
Ham. A pox upon your indecision, sir!
The matter's very simple, as I see it.
We recognize the Church to be corrupt;
Heresy opposes to the Church;
Faustus they say has practiced heresy—
And therefore Faustus merits our support.
Such bootless arguing just wastes our time;
The only question is our course of action.
Since you are of no help, I must decide. (Pauses, holds head)
I feel a curious urge to draw apart,
Addressing certain words unto myself.
If you'll excuse me, I shall do so now.
Ros. I think, my lord, it's called soliloquizing.
In moderation it's a harmless thing—
But too much talking to yourself, they say,
Betokens psychological disorder.
So pray, don't let this grow into a habit.
(They withdraw to the side of the stage and sit there.
Hamlet strikes an attitude.)
Ham. To trash, or not to trash—that is the question.
Whether to aim at quiet revolution
By operating still within the system
Or to take arms against th' Establishment
For reasons of its gross inequities
And by opposing, hurt it. To trash, to sit-in—
Oh wow! and by defiant act, to end
The feelings of frustration that the young
Are heir to; truly 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To demonstrate—
Perhaps to be arrested: there's the rub;
For in that fell arrest, what cops may come
To bloody up our heads with brutal clubs
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes calamity of confrontation.
For who would bear the stifling pressures of
This Late Mediaeval society
When he could, with a well-placed bomb or two,
Hasten the coming of the Renaissance—
Were it not that the Powers who oppose
The advent of a more enlightened age
Will ruthlessly put down such an attempt.
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action . . .
Guild. Really, Ham,
You ramble over-long, and to no end.
If you intend to act, for God's sake do it!
Ham. Your words strike to my soul—I said that once.
You're right; procrastination is a curse.
I'll go at once and rouse my followers,
And ere the day is out, a hundred strong,
Confront the Chancellor with our demands.
And if they are not met—let them beware!
No one shall say that Hamlet cannot act!
(He rushes out. Others rise, Queen exits, chairs moved back.)
Ros. And so, my fair Ophelia (for we now
Must all revert unto our former roles,
The flashback being over) Hamlet went
And took decisive action, just this once,
And found himself arrested and expelled.
Oph. I understand—and ever since that time
He has been paralyzed by indecision
Through having learned, by harsh experience
The outcome of impetuosity.
Ros. One thing is very plain—that he is not
The kind of person you would want to marry.
Oph. He says unpleasant things to me, such as
That I should get me to a nunnery.
I've never even much liked Sunday school!
Ros. We must devise some plan to stop this match.
(Etc., as on p. 80 of W. S. Gilbert text.)
(Addition to ending, following Claudius's last speech on p. 89:)
Claud. So, Hamlet, get thee gone—and don't come back again!
Ham. I welcome your suggestion, and will go.
If what you say is true, then I shall make
A striking figure on their public stage.
It's plain I'm not appreciated here.
And when I tire of that, why, on again—
Unto a place that I have heard about
Called Harvard of the West. I'll change my name
To something foreign—let's say, Savio—
And there indulge my taste for rhetoric.
Perhaps I can regain the mode of action,
For better or for worse. And so, farewell!
To Engle-land!
(Business of farewell, Hamlet exits dramatically, others strike pose,
lights out.)
The Playwright adds: For those with short memories: Harvard of the West is of course U.C. Berkeley. Mario Savio was the student who, at a key early moment in the Free Speech Movement, climbed onto a car and made a stirring address exhorting the crowd to go off and occupy the University offices.

This frieze may have once been part of a door frame or the base of a stupa. Each Buddha is seated in an identical manner in the classic mediation posture on a lotus seat, with various hand gestures (mudras). Very likely these seven figures represent the five Buddhas of the past, along with Shakyamuni, the Buddha of the present, and Maitreya, the Buddha of the future.

Fisherman's Helper – the ability to make the knots belongs to the ABC of a proper fisherman (an unsuccessfully tied knot can lower the tensile strength of the line up to 50%, while a well-tied knot can maintain ~90% of the line strength).
"The Fisherman's Knots Primer" has been meant both for the professional and the beginner fisherman. The given application provides a selection of the most popular knots – with their description and video material. At the same time I would like to pay attention to the fact that it is advisable to practice making the knots at first in domestic conditions, for there may not be the best practising conditions by the water body.

Do you hear the Lord talking to you in sacred scripture? Seems like a fair enough question, however, I might reverse the question instead to ask, are you actively listening to and for God's direction and his wisdom in your daily life?
As I myself grow older hearing is one of my many senses that seems to be diminishing. Sometimes it's almost embarrassing to try to keep up in a conversation when I've missed a few words. I can feel my body language change, shifting my head from side to side seeking out the best possible ear. I feel myself leaning inward toward the major speaker, hoping to hear everything. Maybe you haven't been blessed with poor hearing, but if you are, you might very well identify with me trying to hear.
I might also add that there are many things in this world I don't care to really hear. How often are you driving into Savannah on Ga. 204 and wonder where those drum sounds or those of an electric guitar, only to find that when you come to stop at one of the oh too frequent traffic lights Ga. 204 has offered you the opportunity to hear the far too loud radio sounds blasted from one of the cars stopped. You know the kid has to be deaf, or is trying hard to achieve deafness by age 25.
Why do I ask at all? I am reminded of the beautiful 95th psalm, "If today you hear his voice harden not your hearts." This would suggest that we are all listening and attentive, and that we anticipate in hope that God's word and wisdom comes into our lives?
I might ask about those who had yet to experience a personal relationship with God. If I am going to hear God, I must strive to listen, and part of that listening is discernment. Taking the time to take in that which God has said and is saying, to include sacred scripture and apply it to ordinary circumstances of my life. Most likely this might also involve changing my ways? Assuming I want to do God's will?
May I also humbly suggest a bit of prayerful contemplation when reading Mark 7:34, when Christ encounters the man who could not hear, Jesus heals this man through and in faith, placing his own fingers in the deaf man's ears and commanding forth the Aramaic word Ephphatha, "be opened."
This openness can be yours and mine if we pray to God regularly and often and that we ourselves open our hearts and minds to listen and to learn from our loving God.
My prayer for all of us is to strive to always be attentive and opened to the Lord and that he might bless and keep us all the days of our lives.

Rickie Lambert nets two penalties as Southampton return to winning ways
Southampton 4 Watford 0
Attendance: 23,574
Lee Holmes has been a frustrated spectator during Southampton's recent rise but, after making his first league appearance since rupturing ankle ligaments last November, the midfield player is hoping his career has taken an upward turn. Holmes scored his side's fourth two minutes after coming on as a late substitute, his first league goal since March 2008. "It's been a case of working hard, getting my head down and waiting for a chance," Holmes said. "When it comes, you have to grab it."
Southampton were aided by a dubious first-half penalty, one of two spot-kicks converted by Rickie Lambert. "The referee said it hit my hand, but it didn't," John Eustace, the Watford midfield player, said. Guly Do Prado…

Book 2 – Peacetaker Series
Nearly a year after her adventure with Agent Carter, history professor and mythology buff Stella Hunter wants nothing more than to raise her eight-year-old son, Gabriel, in peace. But Gabriel was born with a deadly curse – and although the amulets with the power to activate the curse have been destroyed, the terrible power still seethes inside of him.
When all hope seems lost, Stella hears whispers of an ancient gold scroll with an incantation powerful enough to remove any curse – even the one that threatens to kill her son. But the last time anyone saw the scroll was over a thousand years ago, when it was locked into an onyx box and loaded onto a ship in Trieste. A ship that never reached its destination.

This winter I had the amazing opportunity to experience a 3 day 2 night Tanzania safari at Mikumi National Park, the closest safari destination to Tanzania's capital city of Dar Es Salaam. This is on the low end in terms of duration for a safari, but I found it to be just enough to satisfy the need for a "in the bush" experience. The excursion was booked through Sam's Car Rental – including accommodations at the Mikumi Adventure Lodge, a full day game drive, and a visit to a traditional Maasai village.
The (Long) Route to Mikumi
Any Tanzania safari will require some form of transfer, with the most common "ports of call" being Nairobi, Arusha, or Dar Es Salaam. For us this journey would be a close to 7 hour traffic ridden drive east of Dar on the A5 motorway. Our chariot was a dated but comfortable Toyota Landcrusier, they type you see often across Africa.
To me, this leg of the journey was almost as fascinating as the actual safari. Seeing how starkly different these people live is an enlightening experience.
There is a drastic lack of infrastructure by western terms. It seems like the A5 is the lifeblood of these communities. Local life thrives around the road, with every 5 or so miles opening up to a vibrant hub of buildings resembling transportation hubs – with buses and motorcycles lining the roadway.
Mikumi Adventure Lodge: Home Sweet Home
It was the slow season for a Tanzania safari, so we had almost the entirety of the Mikumi Adventure Lodge to ourselves. The service was exceptional – all of the lodge employees were pleasant and helpful. The accommodations were also solid, likely some of the best appointed rooms available close to the park.
There was a pool that was under construction, which did not help us at the time but should be an amazing future edition. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, but there are large circulating fans on the ceiling. These worked surprisingly well, and kept the rooms comfortable and cool in the afternoon.
As you can see, the rooms are well appointed and homey. Each cottage style space includes comfy beds and amble space for two or a family, with some rooms including a smaller bed for children or other additional guests. What you should expect from your Tanzania safari, like much of Africa, is that you will more than likely not always have access to electric power. Due to a lack of infrastructure and reliability, most resorts run diesel generators to either supplement or totally replace their utility company.
One of my favorite parts of getting back to the Mikumi Adventure Lodge in the evenings was the dining. There has an extensive menu that served both local and western favorites, always cooked to order and fresh. The wait and kitchen staff were very receptive to your requests and everything came out absolutely delicious. Plus there was no lack of local beers for your choosing…I became quite a fan of the "Safari" brand. It also happens to be the strongest…
The Game Drive & Seeing the King of the Jungle
The Land Rover Defender is an iconic vehicle and represents the pinnacle of off-road durability. (Sidenote: The military grade 80's Mercedes Geländewagen is a close second). These are also quite prevalent in Africa, with ours having a ridiculous extended chassis and open passenger deck. When I first saw it, I was in absolute awe at the imminent experience of driving around the bush in this car. (Sidenote 2: This beast would also be very appropriate for cruising around Malibu…)
Obviously, the most exciting thing about a safari is seeing the animals in their natural habit. It's almost kind of nerve racking — one wonders if any of the "big 5" (elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, and leopard) will even be out during our drive. Luckily for us, we hit the jackpot. Our Tanzania safari driver Richard was a young man that was very knowledgeable on the animals and very familiar with the park. With his help, we were able to see the king of the jungle, the African Lion, within the first two hours of our safari.
Maasai Village Visit – Tanzania Safari Highlight
On the last day of our Safari with Sam's, we were meant to take a tour of a traditional Maasai village. I was initially a bit hesitant about this, as I'm not a huge fan of this sort of "human tourism." However, after going through the experience I would recommend it to everybody. This is certainly a unique experience that you will not get on a typical Tanzania safari. Our guide was one of the Mikumi Adventure Lodge staff, and an actual member of the village. We showed up somewhere around 8am, and where able to see the village stir to life in the morning.
The people were very welcoming, showing as much curiosity to learn about us as we wanted to about them. All were dressed in the traditional cloth dressing and lent us a pair to fit in. We went a long with it, but let's just say it's probably not the best look for me. There were a mix of cows, goats, and chickens roaming the area around the village with some corrals in the middle for the various animals. One of the cutest things I've ever seen is when a little boy stole a baby goat away from it's mother and ran to us for safety while the mother was in hot pursuit.
The homes were basically built out of tree shrubs and mud, with typically 3 separate rooms in each structure. One of the traditions that the Maasai hold are starting fires from the brush, something that is much easier said than done. Also fascinating, is the traditional dance that they performed for us. It entails standing in line and chanting Swahili phrases I did not understand and periodically coming up in front of everyone and jumping in place. Words don't do it justice, but it was an impressive feat to witness.
Our guide had told us that the area in which the village was located was often frequented my lions looking to mate. Bow-chicka-wow-wowwwww. Now, seeing a lion on your Tanzania safari is certainly a priority, but probably not this intimately. We were told that lions often lurked around the village at night looking for food, particularly during the dry season when Mikumi park had a lack of other game to hunt. They would on occasion try to kill the village cows, and the Maasai have to essentially fight them off with spears. That. Is. Bad. Ass.

Guess which place has the best cooks on earth in this age? Be ready to have your identity changed. Yes, Fort Worth is the greatest spot for food right now. They are the places to get LIT for foodies.
Even though this town deserves more credit, there are still critics who haven't seen or tasted the glory. All that considered, the critics might want to throw down their AMEX cards somewhere else. As if anyone actually cares about stupid opinions anyways.
You could be biting into grilled cheese right now. Or trying local grown, fresh veg. We can snobbishly claim that honest, down to earth chefs cook all the choice dishes nearby. They rely on the simplest recipes passed down from generations. Celebrate an anniversary or a big promotion at your job with a quality meal.

Santa Claus Attends Demonstration in South Betlehem
This Friday Palestinians young and old wore red and white Santa Claus hats during their weekly demonstration against the Annexation Barrier, which is being constructed on their land. The people of Um Salamuna and Al-Mas'ara gathered with Israeli and international supporters at the entrance to Um Salamuna to again march along the road in protest of the confiscation of their agricultural land by the Israeli military. However, underlining the peaceful nature of the march by wearing festive costumes was not enough to prevent a heavy-handed response by the Israeli military, who attempted to prevent the people from marching along the road as they had for the past two weeks. The demonstrators attempted to push through the line of soldiers to march along the road and one Palestinian man, Hussan, was arrested and put in the back of a military jeep. Father Christmas (AKA Santa Claus) then addressed the crowd, emphasizing the communities' commitment to remain steadfast on their land and continue the non-violent resistance to the Israeli Occupation. Members of the Popular Committee then negotiated for the release of the prisoner and the demonstrators agreed to disperse once he was let go.

How you communicate to others is much more involved than just speaking! How you walk, gesture, stand and sit communicates an awful lot to the lady who is either trying to avoid you or get your attention! Today we will discuss how to use body language to attract women.
That's right, the way you carry yourself will communicate more than anything you say verbally! Here are some things you should try not to do in order to be more attractive to women!
Amazon Book: The Success Blueprint!
CLICK HERE! The Success Blue-Print Bundle: 3 Books That Will Move You FORWARD! If you are truly looking to become a more successful and confident person then you must take a look at these three reports bundled into one book that will quickly propel you in a new positive direction.
Walking too Fast: Many guys walk very fast, as if they are rushing to a fire.
What this looks like to a woman who may be watching you is that you are not in control of what ever is going on in your life.
Walk slow and in a confident, relaxed fashion. Shoulders are back, chest out and a pace that shows you are calm, cool and in control.
Slumping in Your Chair: How many of us come to a chair, sit down and slide down a little to where we are "slumping" more than sitting in the chair?
Just about most of us guys do this on a regular basis… and we need to stop! This actual makes you look tired, defeated and not alert.
When you sit, push your butt and back up against the back of the chair and resist rolling your shoulders forward so you are sitting up straight. This conveys strength and confidence!
Poor Posture: In today's computer age it becomes very difficult not to roll you shoulders forward and slump forward in your chair as one sits for hours at their desk at work. What this creates is a posture that conveys weakness and makes one almost look sickly.
Amazon Book: The ReBoot- Over 50 and Starting Over
CLICK HERE! The Reboot: Over 50 and Starting Over! will get you pointed in a very firm and solid direction in moving your life forward if you are a person over the age of 50. Your life is not over! As a matter of fact the next 10 to 20 years can be the best part of your life if you set out to design it to be that way!
Every now and then get out of your chair, stand up with your back to a wall and touch your shoulders and head to the wall. This will re-align your spin and give you the correct posture you need to look confident and fit… which woman want in their men.
Touching Your Face: Have you ever encountered someone who had a problem of touching their face too much? What did you think of that? I know when I witness this behavior I think the person to be nervous of unsure of himself. What do you think women think?
We all touch our face and don't realize it. Stop it! Just try to be more aware of this happening and put a stop to it!
Hands in Pants Pocket: Seeing many men standing with their hands in their pockets looks like they totally lack confidence. And most times they do lack confidence. Men put their hands in their pockets as a subconscious attempt to deal with insecurity!
And do you want to know something? Women know this! Don't put your hands in your pockets because it makes you look weak! Instead hold a cup of coffee and use your other free hand to apply some light gestures to accentuate your talking points.
Not Smiling: Have you ever seen a guy who never smiles? He never seems to enjoy the moment? Perhaps looks like he takes himself too seriously?
If this is you then you need to relax, enjoy life and smile more. Women are attracted to men who look like they enjoy life and the people around them… and it is the smile that conveys this message! Smile more; a lot more!
Avoiding Eye Contact: One thing that absolutely conveys weakness and insecurity is when a man avoids making eye contact with the woman he is speaking to. It shows to her that you are terrified she will reject you and that you have no confidence! This will only result in the women thinking you are a beta male!
Amazon Book: How to be Interesting – and STOP being Boring!
CLICK HERE! You are… are… BORING!!! People do not find you interesting enough to bother with. You are almost invisible to them. Fear not! We have the solution designed for the gal or guy who wants to lead a very interesting life!
Appear Relaxed: So many guys act like they are anxious, nervous and hyper no matter the setting. They are fidgety and talk a thousand miles an hour and as a result come across as a geek who would never be able to attract any type of woman!
Slow down, relax, take in the moment and enjoy yourself! Don't give a shit what others are thinking or saying! Just slow down and relax. Women are attracted to men who seem like they are in control and can enjoy themselves!
In Conclusion…
Body language says a lot about who you are and how confident you are as a man! Women will watch you from across the room and within seconds determine if you are a guy they would be interested in meeting, or if you are a guy not worth their time… all by your individual body language!

This is delicious hot or cold. The beauty of this recipe is that you whip it together in a blender for less of a mess and very quick preparation. For a special treat, serve warm with some vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
- Yield
- 8 Servings
- Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
- 6 TB Butter, melted
- 1 tsp. sugar
- Filling:
- 2 1/4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- (about 2-3 medium to large potatoes)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (dark or light)
- 3/4 cup half & half
- 1 tsp to 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (varies according to taste)
- 1 TB pure vanilla extract
- 1 TB coconut rum (may substitute dark spiced rum)
- 2 TB flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. salt
- 9 inch pie pan
- To make the crust: To make gingersnap cookie crust, take 28-30 gingersnap cookies (enough to make 1 1/2 cups) and crush in a food processor (alternatively put the cookies in a plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin). Combine with the melted butter and sugar and spread into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Set aside. For Filling: Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast sweet potatoes in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until soft when pierced with a fork. Set aside until cool enough to handle. When cool, slice open and spoon out flesh to measure 2 1/4 cups. Put flesh in blender with butter and blend just until the butter is mixed in. Add both sugars, eggs, half and half, rum, vanilla, flour, salt and pumkin pie spice. Blend until mixed and slightly thick (30 seconds to 1 minute). Pour into gingersnap crust and bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife insterted in to the center comes out clean. The pie will puff slightly and settle back down as it cools.

Looks like we have two competitions going on at Jets training camp. One for the starting QB job and one for dumbest passes.
It was Geno Smith's time to shine in the INTs category, as he was determined to be better at sucking, at least for a day, than "veteran" Mark Sanchez.
Smith threw a whopping four interceptions on Wednesday, and head coach Rex Ryan summed it up nicely: "It was brutal," he said, via the Associated Press. "That was Geno's worst day."
In all fairness, Smith is dealing with a sore ankle, but excuses are for other the teams, not the J-E-T-S.
"Obviously, the ankle is part of it, but way too many picks," Ryan added. "He did not look comfortable today. Obviously, he has to come back from it, and he will come back from it. But it was a bad day… Guys have bad days, but this was a really bad day."

Jenny, Leicester
Mark has done so much to help me grow and improve as a person. He has helped me to improve myself as well as helping me to heal. I approached my sessions with an open mind as I had never tried spiritual healing before and was amazed, and at times overwhelmed, by the help that was provided for me. Mark has been kind and patient along my journey and incredibly supportive at all stages, both during and outside of sessions. He has a reassuring, calm manner and has enabled me to feel empowered and strong enough to continue my healing journey on my own, knowing that support and guidance is there should I need it.
Catherine, Colchester
Mark has helped and is continuing to help me through a very difficult time in my life. He is respectful and compassionate in every way, making me feel comfortable and at ease from the start. The integrity of his spiritual guidance and energetic intuition has had a profound effect on me. I highly recommend Mark's work for all levels of healing. Thank you for all the kindness, support and guidance you have given me. I have really felt every part of me coming together more clearly, helping me learn more about my spiritual self and grow into a stronger person.
Emma, Bracknell
""I contacted Mark give me guidance and help with an issue that I felt I couldn't deal with on my own. Despite us never meeting in person, Mark provided a compassionate and non-judgmental ear which saw me through the rough patch and far beyond. His interpretation of events was both comforting and pragmatic and enabled me to take a path of action that was ultimately successful and authentic." "His wise and calm voice over the phone helped me to think about things in a more objective fashion and his guided meditations were such a powerful experience that they left me feeling lighter and more uplifted than I could have believed possible.
"When I got in touch one day with an ongoing health problem that had flared up, he was able to provide healing at a distance which helped to me to recover. Wonderful! He is clearly a talented healer and advisor and I'm very glad to have him in my corner."
Sandie, Felixstowe
When I went to Mark's Reiki 1 weekend I was immediately struck by a feeling of peace, oneness and respect. A sense of relaxation, acceptance and harmony has been with me ever since. I left that weekend a very different person; strangely comforted and now, two months later I have entered a new chapter of my life. I find myself smiling and I don't need to ask why. I have gained so much from my weekend of Reiki - an inner sense of wellbeing, an acceptance of myself, life and love, and a deep sense of personal wealth."
Sarah, Ipswich
"Mark offers down-to-earth, compassionate healing, guidance and understanding. He is always respectful of your personal beliefs, privacy and emotional state. His healing work is always undertaken with the highest of intentions and professional conduct. He has supported and guided me through some of the most trying situations with the utmost kindness and patience."
Fiona, Framlingham
"For anyone wanting to change their lives for the better or just thinking about doing so, I would recommend introducing Reiki into their life. I was fortunate to meet Mark, now my Reiki Master, at a time when my life was a mess, and i was out of control, with no life value or self worth. Today I am in such a better place, having completed my Reiki 1 & 2 attunements with Mark, together with some personal healing and issues to work through, I am a happier, calmer, stronger more content person, ready for the rest of my life! Thank you Mark for your continued support and patience.
Jo, Ipswich
"I would highly recommend Mark's workshops to anyone who is ready to move forward in their life. Mark's skill as a teacher and healer is evident in the way he is able to put people at ease and create a situation where the love and healing energy is tangible and real. I am thankful for the wonderful gift of Reiki."
Debs, Beccles
"My experience of the Reiki 1 was, in many ways, more profound than I had expected. Mark's course offers a comprehensive and enlightening initiation into engaging with universal energy. However for me, the experience has been more far reaching than the two days of meditation and healing. The attention to my inner self that was necessary for the course, has become a step on the path to a more peaceful and aware state of consciousness. Mark's guidance through the healing that I received on the course, and his support since, is a gift."
Hayley, Ipswich
"Since doing the Reiki 1 course I definitely feel more in touch with my spiritual side. It's like I am more tuned in and have a greater sensitivity to another energy being present in my life. It's weird because ever since I did the course I sense that my spirit guides have been trying to send messages and guide me (particularly in my dreams). It has also helped me in the process of following my instincts more and trying to be true to myself."
"Basically the course was the first step in the direction I would like my vocation/career to take. I look forward to using my Reiki to help heal others and eventually I would like to progress to the Reiki 2 course when I'm ready."
Mick & Sarah, Woodbridge
"Being taught Reiki 1 by Mark had a profound effect on us as our lives began to change for the better quite soon into the course. Through Mark's guidance, inspiration and unique teaching methods we were able to gain a deep sense of awareness of our own spirituality, enhancing our abilities to heal ourselves and others. Reiki has definitely strengthened our marriage - it's great to be able to 'Reiki' each other, and to work as a team when treating friends/family."
Chris, Leiston
"My Reiki attunement was a truly life changing experience, I am a calmer person and see things differently. Mark is able to instil a sense of peace by guiding you thorough meditations and blocking out the noise of the outside world."

Bondage? Bandage?
Post: #1
Bondage? Bandage?
As bondage entails people being bound, tied up, or restrained for pleasure, a subculture of BDSM. More often than maybe not, bondage is completed as a sexual practice. The derivation of pleasure or sexual gratification by bondage can also be known as vincilagnia, from the root words vincio- meaning to bind or fetter with organizations, and -lagneia which suggests lust.
Recent studies show that about three-quarters of most men in the United states think of the thought of bondage as erotic, and therefore do other women. This only goes to show the sexual appeal of bondage attracts both sexes regardless of sexual orientation.
With regards to style, leather is a choice part for most of us in the BDSM tradition. Should you desire to identify further on image, we recommend many resources people could pursue. This not only serves as their a record, many components and equipments useful for BDSM actions like whips, belts, cuffs, and restraints in many cases are made of leather.
Even though most bondage activities end up in sexual activities, not all bondage role plays prove this way. On the other hand, role plays between delicately acquainted partners might just result in masturbation, or, believe it or perhaps not, no sexual release in any way.
Safety is always a key issue when performing bondage as this frequently requires aid from different devices or systems used to bound or hang victims. A recent study showed that bondage is the best fetish to interact in. But this is provided the role-play is acted out with sober, respected individuals and with the use of clean machines.
Being bound or tangled up for quite a long time may cause friction to the submissive partner's skin. This, in turn, can result in bruising and open scrape wounds to the area where the limitations were put. Using unsterilized equipment may set you at risk of experiencing disease from these available scrape pains. In instances where the restraints are placed on the partner's genital region, one's sexual health could be put to-risk if you take a chance on using unhygienic equipments.

There are six main categories to which bondage may be divided in to, these are:
M Bondage that draws parts of the bodies together. The use of string, straps, and harnesses are required to bound the hands or feet together.
M Bondage that spreads elements of the body apart. This requires using x-frames and spreader bars, this time, to spread the hands or the feet apart.
l Bondage that ties the human body right down to another subject. This sort of bondage requires the use of seats, bedrooms, or shares.
M Bondage that suspends the human body from still another object. Be taught more on this affiliated site by navigating to return to site. That is also known as suspension bondage. This requires the benefit of an increased product to which suspension wires, or chains are connected to to have the partner holding entirely or partially in mid-air.
l Bondage that limits normal activity. The usage of hobble skirts, handcuffs, or horse harnesses are used to stop an individual from having the ability to go naturally.
l Bondage that wraps the whole human body, or section of it, in bindings such as for instance cloth or plastic. Materials including saran wrap or cling film works extremely well for mummification of the partner. A sleepsack, a type of sleeping bag, can also be useful for this type of bondage.
Position people frequently set a dream environment where they are able to play bondage. Identify further on our favorite partner article - Visit this website: go here. These options include:
M Rape imagination. In this setting, the dominant partner apparently abducts the consenting victim and has total get a handle on to accomplish what-ever he pleases with the victim.
M Domination and slavery. The victim supposedly attends a training session in tried for any form of defiance against his master, and which he's rewarded for his behavior. Humiliation is sometimes involved with this environment.
Bondage is not only helpful to a couple's sexual health, it transcends beyond the act's sexual meaning. The bondage roleplay's requirement for openness, trust, and full knowledge of each partner's huge difference leads to a new connection experienced to some, keeping them closer together..

Another month, another collection of physics posts from Forbes:
— Quantum Loopholes And The Problem Of Free Will: In one of those odd bits of synchronicity, a previous post about whether dark matter and energy might affect atoms in a way that allowed for "free will" was followed shortly by a news release about an experiment looking at quantum entanglement with astronomical sources acting as "random number generators." This pushes the point when local interactions might've generated any correlation between measurements back in time a thousand-plus years, which in turn ties into the question of "free will."
— Scientific Knowledge Is Made To Be Used: Some thoughts on a division in attitudes between science and other academic disciplines, where the way we do science naturally leads to more discussion of applications.
— Why Writing About Math Is The Best Part Of Common Core: In which I say nice things about the way my kids are being taught about math.
— Why Do We Spend So Much Time Teaching Historical Physics?: I'm teaching the badly misnamed "modern physics" course this term, and finding it frustrating because the book I'm using isn't historical enough.
— How Do You Create Quantum Entanglement?: Prompted by a conversation with a colleague from history, a sketch of the main ways experimental physicists establish correlations between the quantum states of particles.
A good month traffic-wise, though I was surprised by the detailed dynamics of some of these– in particular, I expected an immediate negative response to the Common Core thing, but in fact that took a while to take off, and most of the response was positive. The only one that didn't do well by my half-joking metric of "Get more views than there are students at Union" was the science-knowledge one, and that was probably justified as it was just kind of noodling around.
So, there was February. March brings with it the end of my current crushingly heavy teaching load, which should give a little more opportunity for substantive blogging. Maybe.

Item title reads: " German Girls' Hockey Team. In first match of tour defeated by 8 goals to 3."
Merton Park, Surrey
M/S hockey team poses. They wear short pleated skirts. The captains pose arm in arm. Play begins - it looks like very misty weather. Various shots of the game including shots from behind the goal of a save which the goalie makes by kicking the ball away.
Thanks, God Bless you.

For the record, I only planned on going to a friendly game of poker and not the excessive amounts alcohol and the drunken stupidity that transformed me from a lowly unemployed airman of Irish heritage living in Dover DE. to an Irish pirate sailing in unfamiliar waters with only the bare necessities while being chased by another pirate ship intent on sinking our vessel and taking our much desired cargo….
The Facts:
Somehow I became and Irish Pirate last night. Before I explain, let's go over a few points about why pirates rock.
- Pirates say cool shit like "ARRRR!"
- Pirates make people walk the plank.
- Pirates wear eye patches and have Hooks for hands.
- Pirates drink massive amount of alcohol.
- Pirates have cool names.
- Pirates pillage and plunder.
- Pirates download music illegally.
- Chicks Love Pirates.
Now let's take a look at some points on why the Irish are so damn cool.
- The color green.
- Irish pubs.
- leprechauns.
- Guinness Beer.
- 4 leaf clovers.
- Irish car bombs.
- Cool accents.
- Chicks love Irish dudes.
The Poker Game:
The invitation came from Rob, poker at his house. after obtaining permission from my wife Robin, I excepted. it was the first time going to one of his games. 5 Players, Rob, Shaun, Adam, Terra, Myself. The game: .10/.20 blinds, $10.00 buy in, No-limit with re buys. I got there at around 8:00. Shaun and rob had been drinking for a few hours. The other 2 players, Adam and his wife had not yet arrived.
Started things off drinking Miller Light while watching Rob and Shaun play Mario cart with a few guys that I don't recall actually meeting. When the other players got there we started the game. The early game was pretty uneventful, it seemed we we're just trading stacks back and forth. at one point Rob busted out and did a re buy. shortly after he doubled up and cashed his re buy back out.
I wasn't drinking that much because I was planning on an early night. Then out came the vodka and O.J. Shaun, Adam, Tera were still drinking beer. Rob poured a few screwdrivers for us to knock back. Everyone playing was a smoker, which meant multiple smoke breaks out on the porch. Some topics discussed were: Soco the cat and how she was a whore, work, what exactly a french Canadian is (I still don't understand that shit) and why the Irish are better, etc.
Back at the game, everyone is getting louder and having a good time. there are two guys still playing Mario cart and at one point I look over to the T.V. and see a giant black sperm pulling a cart. Wtf? someone told me it was a "big ball and chain" those who remember anything about Mario might remember those so, o.k. whatever.
I call robin, It's about 10:45, I tell her I'm going to play for awhile longer and then I'll be heading home. She says Fine. Moments later I realize the bottle of vodka Rob and I we're drinking was empty and a huge bottle of cherry vodka was sitting on the table. I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon after all. .
Adam and his wife leave due to work in the morning. We cash them out and continue to play and play badly. more shots and more beers. I grabbed my phone and snapped a few pictures.
The Pirates:
At some point, everyone else clears out of the house. the game gets boring. We drink more shots and have a few more beers. after they take a smoke break they start talking about boating.there is a huge lake behind the apartment complex and Rob's telling us about a few rafts he has. the time is roughly 1:20 in the morning. they decide the best course of action is to abandon the game, blow up the rafts, and go out in the lake. still thinking they are kidding I mimic a pirate voice, and finish off my beer.
My judgment must have been fucked, for they were not kidding, because the next thing I know rob has 3 un-inflated life rafts, 1 pump, 6 paddles, 1 cooler of beer, and 1 bag of 'Cool Ranch Doritos'
"let's fucking go!", Rob says.
I was thinking, Shit they are going to drown, all the while I'm gathering my things to go home.
"your fucking going with us Mallory, can't pussy out on us now, YEAH!!!", Shaun says.
"fuck me" I say, "were ALL going to fucking drown"
Shaun kept talking about 'ramming us over and over' and battleships he is a some kind of broke back mountain/ navy fan boy. after asking him to keep the gayness to a minimal we gather up the gear and head down to the doc.
A sign reads 'No Swimming' Shaun starts laughing. he says "I hope the boats don't sink cause it looks like we are NOT aloud to swim!"
After a second I got the joke and laughed with him, but then I stopped because in a moment of clarity I realized how stupid of an idea this was and there is a good chance we will all end up trying to swim to shore. I dip my hand into the water. it was about 1 degree warmer than ICE FUCKING COLD. Oh well, lets go sailing ARRRRRR!!.
They had the boats ready to blow up, the first one, a single man boat went pretty fast with Shaun on the hand pump. After it was fully inflated he handed me the pump and we began getting the next boat ready.
This boat was the 3 man, after about 1 minute of using the hand pump I was getting tired ( it's a big fucking raft) so I pump faster while screaming out sexually explicit things and breathing heavily. That lasted about 10 seconds and then I heard a something that sounded like a branch breaking and felt a slight 'pop' inside the pump. It stopped working.
"What the fuck! pump's busted"
"oh well lets blow it up manually"
Rob started taking deep breaths and blowing up the raft. Shaun is asking about a Vacuum cleaner. I thinking Rob is going to pass out and Shaun has lost it. somehow he actually manages to get the thing inflated. they decide to forget the third boat and just take the two. seeing how blowing up that one almost killed him I agreed.
I wanted to call the single man raft but Shaun had beat me too it. They toss the rafts in the water and we all jump in. It didn't sink, so far so good. Shouting shit with a pirate accent and calling each other scurvy dogs we start paddling. Rob and I pop open a few beers and begin rowing out to the fucking center of the lake. looking back we see Shaun in his boat going in circles.
"What the fuck are you doing!"
"I lost a paddle"
"ha ha ha….ARRRR"
we went back to where he was stuck, no paddle in sight. I give Shaun one of mine because rob was a lot better at this and he was rowing. we begin out. rob makes it near the middle and i pop open a beer. I down about half of it. Chilling out in the lake eating Doritos. good times. but where was Shaun?
Looking back yet again, Shaun is going in a circle about 1/3 away from shore. he says "fuck! I broke this paddle!" That's 2 of them now. not having much room I set my half drunk beer in the water in a way that it would float, so I could grab the other ore to give to Shaun. once i managed to get it, I reached over to grab my beer but it was gone.
we start to row back to where Shaun is and rob says "ha ha A fucking beer is floating in the water!" "shit that's mine, get it!" he grabbed it and handed it to me. woot. We get back to Shaun and I hand him my last paddle and I think we are finally ready to go. we make it a few feet ahead of him and that's about when I look over and see him trying to stand up in his raft and then tries to pee over the edge. the fucking boat was rocking and damn near capsized. he almost fell out. we we're rowing as fast as we could to get to him just in case. it was close. but all he managed to do was piss all over his boat and I'm guessing himself.
Having drank 2 1/2 beers, eaten a half bag of chips, attempted a rescue at sea, broke one pump and lost 2 ores It was time to call it a night. the time was around 2:45 Shit. Robin was going to be pissed, but at least I was still dry.
Pulling up to the dock Rob tries to push himself up and out, bad idea. we took on a flood of the Ice Fucking Cold water. Fuck. he gets out. I manage to get out. my ass is soaked. I tell them I have to go if I want to live to see the next day. yes, my wife would kill me if I didn't come home. They started pulling up the rafts when one of them said " let's fucking go back out" to which the other replied "hell yeah!" good luck to them. No offense but I wouldn't want to be the one sharing the raft with Shaun.
I head back to Rob's to grab my stuff. I'm guessing they did head back out. I called robin, it was just shy of 3 AM, and I had about 12 missed calls from her. Fuck me. She basically told me to get my wet ass home, which I did.
The Memorial Service:
As for Rob and Shaun, well, I haven't hard from them since I left and in all likely hood they capsized, listened to the posted sign about Not swimming and therefor were lost at sea.
Here are the pictures from the poker game in remembrance of these two pirates, whom where brave, yet were not Irish…. or maybe they were. whatever.

Ulster's Tommy Bowe out for six months with injury
Ulster winger Tommy Bowe is out of action for six months, as revealed by the Belfast Telegraph last week.
The club has said Bowe sustained posterior cruciate ligament and meniscal injuries to his right knee during the Rugby World Cup quarter final against Argentina.
Injury will rule @TommyBowe14 out of Ireland's 2016 Six Nations campaign— Adrian Rutherford (@arutherfordNI) October 27, 2015
He had successful surgery to repair the damage yesterday but has been ruled out of action for at least six months.
Meanwhile Iain Henderson faces at least six weeks on the sidelines.
He will undergo surgery later today to stabilise a joint in his hand, which was also injured in the Argentina fixture.
And Jared Payne's fractured foot was stabilised through successful surgery.
Ulster are waiting on his first post-operative review, after which they should expect to find out the length of his lay-off.

"Your friends from Power/ will not forget!!! We all made a great team !!! Don Craighead"
"Irene. A message for you!! Norm Brady died yesterday Feb 26,2016. He was a great Turck salesman at Power/. He and Peter had a deep friendship. His wife is Jan. you can connect with her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Regards. DHC"
"We have been friends with Peter and Hanh for over 30 years. I first met him when they were living in Plymouth, Minnesota, only a couple of miles away. After he retired and they moved back to Germany, we visited them on three European vacations in 2001, 2010, and 2014. We were always treated like visiting royalty every time we stayed with them. Hanh would cook her heart out making gourmet meals and making us comfortable. Peter always was the perfect host and tour guide, showing us places on each trip in the southwest of Germany and nearby France that most tourists would never see. We have so many good memories of Peter and Hanh from our times together. We will miss him. God bless and rest in peace. -Arnie & Kathy Nelson"
"Peter's and my careers intersected at Turk/Power/mation. We became good friends and business was successful for both of us as we served industry in the USofA. I think fondly of those times and wish Peter's family well. We will never forget those friendships from long ago. Good bye Peter my friend."
"Peter Kuck was my boss at Sick USA, but the term 'boss' is so inadequate. Peter lived life with 'spirit'. Peter was never mean spirited, a very hard thing in the modern world. After Peter was no longer my 'boss' I tried to follow Peter's lead.. I wish I could talk with him again and tell him of all the problems he created and also the wonderful things that came about.."
"ich hatte die Ehre Herrn Kuck in seinen IT-Angelegenheiten betreuen zu dürfen. Er war nicht nur ein Kunde - und auch kein Kraut. Er war stets herzlich und freundlich. Er war immer hochmotiviert und erzählte oft aus seinem Berufsleben und über sein Engagement in der Herz-Gruppe. Wir werden ihn vermissen und wünschen ihm alles Gute - wo immer er ist."
"I had the privilege to work with Peter when he joined us at SICK USA around 1989. The Christmas Party was interesting that year since the comedien we hired for entertainment spent most of her time teasing Peter which was a challenge for an incoming President as you can imagine. I recognized the big heart behind the tough exterior and learned much from him in our short time together. Years later while working with Turck USA associates and an old college roommate who Peter took under his wing we found many fond stories to share! Too many stories to share now Peter but thank you for your advice and leadership!"
"The first time that Peter and I met was in Germany. I had applied for a position at Sick and Peter just so happened to be in Germany to conduct the interview. I was making a life changing decision for my family and Peter could relate all too well. He guided me, he helped me settle into my new job, and he was a mentor to me for a number of years. I have learned a lot from Peter and he will always have a special place in my heart."
"Peter was a business associate, a mentor but mostly a friend. He had a heart of gold and didn't mind showing it. One of my fondest memories of Peter was on one of our first sales trips. Turck was in it's infancy and we were traveling through the hills of Virginia showing some people for the first time a proximity switch. I happened to put a Willie Nelson tape into the radio and he just couldn't get enough of it. Every time we'd get back into the car the first thing he said was "Put that Willie Nelson tape back on!". And when I took my family to Germany, he went way out of his way to make sure we all had a good time. He was the perfect host and tour guide. My friend, I am saddened that you are gone and I will surely miss you."
"The news of Peter's passing came as a complete shock weeks ago now. My heartfelt well wishes go out to his entire family. Losing someone so dear is truly hard but be assured that he is now in a better place. Our understanding will take time. I would like everyone to know that when I lost my father, Peter stepped in and extended his guidance that helped me through those very troubled times. Not only has the family lost one of it's dearest members but we too have lost a colleague, a true friend, mentor and most of all to me, a second father.
His vitality and sense of being were larger than life, as was his overall persona. I am so very fortunate to have visited with him over the recent past. Susan and I had spent time with him a few years ago for a weekend while in Europe. It was as if the years had no effect on him. He was the same Peter that took me under his wing nearly a quarter century earlier. Then, showing me the 'real' side of business, one that cherishes and honors relationships, one that helps defines one's character and authenticity, one that wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in it. Lately, his relentless pursuit of in-depth research for family roots and constant giving back to the local community by supporting the local clinics. Not once was tired used in retirement! He was as active and energized as ever.
It's still hard to imagine he's gone but his footprint will never be forgotten. I'm struggling to put into words the true impact Peter has had in many lives, especially my own. But my story is just a dot on the page where a book can surely be written. Heaven is now reaping the benefits where the world has lost, but not forgotten, his everlasting impact.
With deep sadness - Karl."
"Echoing Susi's "er hatte ein goldenes Herz", Geri & I have always felt Peter represented "eine Schatzkammer der Gnade". Peter possessed a wonderful talent and readiness to nurture those blessed to come across his path. To be touched by Peter was to be transformed. Words fail in the moment… but permit "geflügelte Worte" which our Teacher Peter so often employed, speak for us. Let it be said that Peter Kuck was, to us, the consistent manifestation of "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan" ("What God doth, that is rightly done"). A bright light has gone to God."
"Peter Kuck was a man who consistently gave people a chance to succeed. He knew exactly how he wanted a business to be run, but he gave individuals the opportunity to express themselves within that framework. He coached me and coaxed me, for which I am forever grateful. Thank you, Irene, for telling me so long ago that your dad was looking for good people to hire at Sick. The experience with Peter is part of my foundation."
"In my business life, Peter was a mentor, a teacher, a leader and a friend. He was like a father to me. His impact on my life will be there for as long as I live and it has also impacted the next generation.
He will be missed but most importantly - he will be remembered.
- Richard Mills"
"Mit dem Tod von Peter Kuck haben wir einen wertvollen Meschen verloren. Er hat sich mit viel Energie fuer das Wohl der Fa. Turck eingesetzt. Ich habe nur gute Erinnerungen an die Zeit, in der ich fuer ihn gearbeitet habe. Ja, es stimmt, manchmal wurde er als "Kraut" bezeichnet, aber er hatte ein goldenes Herz und wer ihn gut kannte, wusste ihn sehr zu schaetzen. Sein Weg ist nun zu Ende und wir sind ihm dankbar fuer alles, was er fuer uns getan hat."

Financial Technology is often seen as a sector that works for those who are already winning: something to help sophisticated users of personal and commercial finance streamline their access. It performs that function, of course, and many of us have seen our professional and personal lives enriched as a result. But FinTech also has an essential role to play in opening access, as well as improving it.
At Coremetrix, we are committed to realising that potential. Part of the Creditinfo Group, we believe data on individuals – obtained voluntarily, and focusing on personality rather than the information used for traditional credit scoring – can broaden access to financial products of all kinds. Lenders and other financial institutions across international markets agree with us, and we are partnering with a number of them to provide access to credit and other services based on who people are, not what they can prove.Continue Reading..
