If you're not NFL-ready yet, it's smart to market yourself to pro football teams, instead of relying on an agent.
A big part of that marketing is sending your bio to as many teams as possible to see who's interested in your abilities.
The document below has the phone number, fax number (for some of the teams), and email addresses where you can send your bio to each of the IFL teams.
Now I know the IFL isn't where y0u wanna be, but you'd be surprised the number of ball players playing in the IFL right now that played at big time schools. There's quite a few ex-NFL ball players in the IFL as well.
For the teams that don't have fax numbers listed, you can call the teams and get their fax numbers.
I've spoken to some players that marketed themselves in the past, and some believe that faxing their bios in-addition to emailing them helped them out in getting noticed.
Just click the download button, and it's yours. I know it ain't the prettiest document, but it'll get the job done.
One other thing. The fax numbers for some of the teams are on the second page, so scroll down to see that part, or just download the document and get both of them that way.
Good luck!

A quick demonstration of achieving a cinematic look with an HDSLR and the Cine VisionPlus picture style. Clips vary in location; from San Francisco in California to Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Magic Lantern 2.3 was utilized for all clips straight out of the camera, with highlight priority enabled to allow one more stop of dynamic range along with a negative iso equivalent of ISO 100 (ISO 200 is default under most circumstances), allowing for increased noise reduction in the raw H.264 footage. The clips were edited in their raw color space in Premiere Pro CS5.5, and brought into After Effects CS5 for de-noising with the Neat Video plugin (reduce noise). A bit of Kodak 250T grain was added afterwards. The clips were all shot under the default picture style settings for Cine VisionPlus, and in post were only slightly color graded. Please feel free to leave feedback or ask any questions!
Introducing the Stunning Picture Style: Cine VisionPlus
Cine VisionPlus produces beautiful and stunning cinematic images straight out of the HDSLR's with minimal post processing. Initially developed for professional projects, Cine VisionPlus has been crafted progressively during field use over the course of an entire year. It has since been tweaked to perfection, and is ready to be shared with the entire filmmaking community. This promo demonstrates the picture style's ability to maintain a gorgeous image with a uniquely filmic latitude.
Visit the official webpage for more info:
Courtesy of Proeza Multimedia Studio:
Highlight compression and cinematic gamma increases visible dynamic range. Shadow information preserved and highlights information expanded.
Cinematic gamma, gorgeous & vivid colors across entire range. Filmic bluish hues in shadows, and saturation increased in primary colors.
Versatile in all lighting conditions, and camera contrast may be pushed to taste without degrading image range.
Compatible with virtually all Canon EOS HDSLR's, including but not limited to the Canon models Mark III, Mark II, 60D, T4I, T3I, T2I, & 7D.


text: Hi guys, quick question. I just loaded Xenoblade onto my FAT32 drive using Wii Backup Manager, and it split the ISO into two seperate WBFS files. Obviously this is due to the file size limitation of FAT32. One of them is a standard WBFS file. The other is a WBF1 file. Will this actually work on, say, USB Loader GX? Or should I opt for just reformatting my drive to NTFS?

Please think about your past with dieting and if you can recall successes and failures and what caused them. Also think about your current eating support system. Lastly, think about your goals, what you want to accomplish with your diet and what major problems you foresee.
Please choose the thing that is 3nd MOST IMPORTANT to you with regards to your diet.
Fat Loss Results – You're looking for a visible change to the way your body looks. Maybe you've tried a diet plan in the past and it didn't give you any results in the right places. Choose this if your main goal is to make a difference in the way you look and to lose fat.
Feel Great – At the moment life is a pain. You might have low energy or parts that ache for no reason. You are too tired to do activities that you once loved and find yourself more and more staying in sitting around or sleeping. Choose this if you really want to rejuvenate your drive for life and motivation; if you want to feel better, be more active and be a "get up and go" kind of person.

Your cart is empty
Show your support and spirit in these Anderson Bean A&M boots. These boots feature a toast brown distressed American bison foot with a 13" white leather upper. The upper features a stitched maroon A&M logo on the front and back, maroon collar overlay, and maroon pull straps. Square toe with a thin cushion insole, and a leather sole. Roper heel, double stitched welt, and channel welt construction.
Love these boots. The are so great to put with a maroon dress for game day :)
The fit TTBS (true to boot size) like most western boots you shoudl go 1/2 a size smaller than your normal size.
They are narrow! I have a normal width foot I have never had a problem with a B width shoe but these are hug my foot very tight. If you have at all wide feet these will not fit you. For normal width you can wait for them to break in or have the stretched a bit at your nearest boot store.

Should you target experienced network marketers to join your team?
Some people say that you shouldn't target people who have been involved in network marketing previously or are currently in MLM because they are "sleazy". I think this is a gross generalisation!
Some network marketers could be great assets to your team, and whilst they might not be willing to join immediately if their company closes it would be great to have a relationship with them, as they might even manage to move a number of their team members over as well.
Network marketers will also have many of the skills that are needed in your business, but on the other hand they might have developed bad habits too. So avoid sponsoring anyone who is "unteachable" or set in their ways.
Opinion seems very divided on this subject. I would love to know your opinions in the reply section below.

Talking about apartment setup, in which people are mostly have an interest to certain designs, is a prime thing to consider when you live in new apartment. People would like to have a proper and unique setup, rather than have the usual one. Alex Bykov, had answered this necessity with his design: a precious idea taking place in the centre of Kiev's historical district. From him, the constant motion concept had appeared.
In his apartment set design, Bykov is combining the historical impression that feels contemporary with simple and neat setup. He made a room of books arranged in the open shelves, whose edge look like stairs.
The room itself is squared set and is having a higher floor that connected by wooden stairs and wall. A comfortable olive green office chair is placed in the middle of the shelves to make you easy while reading a book.
Beside the reading room, there is a living room furnished by olive green sofa and a short wooden table. The sofa is facing a large white partition used as a screen, on where you can have your own movie theatre. The wall of this room is made of bricks that will be found mostly in any historical buildings.
Next to the stairs, there is also a wooden dining table paired by four white dining chairs surround. Two vertically elongated windows are on the other side, completed with grey curtains. The floor and ceiling have contrast tunes; dark below and bright above. Three decorative hanging lamps are put on the ceiling.
The apartment's kitchen is designed with wooden cabinet and furnished by modern kitchen appliances. Its bedrooms are simply arranged in grey painted walls and dominated by wood substances. One of them has a side of wall that made of the historical pattern bricks, with a mirror simply hung on it. Overall, this setup of apartment is surely one of the inventive apartment setup ideas.

I'm a regular at Trader Joe's. I started shopping here in college, it was a little farther off campus then but it was near my babysitting jobs. Since I started cooking more, I really appreciated some of the precooked foods at Trader Joe's. (see below). In Denver, I live only a few blocks from a Whole Foods. But I try to avoid shopping there because of cost. Whenever I go to Whole Foods, I end up accidentally spending more on food than I would have liked.
Every year or so, I check my sources on the difference in price between Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts. What I usually find is that for staples and grocery store basics, Trader Joe's is less expensive.
Trader Joes vs. Whole Foods 2016
I thought I would share a few of my favorites at Trader Joe's with you guys. A lot of times, I improvise or add to these foods to make a more wholesome meal.
For lunch/dinner:
I love the Trader Joe's premade ravioli, they have a lot of flavors- ricotta and lemon, butternut squash, mushroom, meat, etc. It makes for an easy lunch or dinner. You can pull it out of the freezer, and boil the noodles for about 7 minutes. I add sauteed veggies.
Lentil soup and Minestrone soup are really tasty too. If I add veggies, I can make two meals out of this large container. These soups are very hearty so you don't get hungry right away.
As mentioned before, I eat quinoa/rice/couscous with veggies for a lot of my meals. I love this quinoa, it always tastes good and is easy to make with water or veggie/chicken broth.
Eggplant patties, these are a great way to add some flavor, crunch, etc to my meals.
Made this pizza for lunch/dinner this week. Can you call it meal planning when its heating up trader joes premade food?? I hope so!
For snack:
I always have a couple granola bars in my purse, work bag, hiking bag. I like these ones for the taste. They aren't too sweet for me and they are inexpensive
Chips and salsa or guac are a MUST. I really like these chips because they have more substance than regular tortilla chips. They also have a great taste. Most people are skeptical when I bring them to potlucks or share them, but they are pretty well received.
I love all the variations of Trader Joe's popcorn, they always have unique flavors, and I always find something good!
I use sauce on lots of my meals. This one is so good, its mild, and it mixes well with most veggies and rice or grains. I probably have this once a week!
I usually drink almond or soy milk. I really like the Trader Joe's brand because its inexpensive, but it tastes good. Their vanilla almond milk is really great also, it mixes well in coffee for some additional flavor.
One of my best friends recommends the Tamales in the freezer section. I bought them last week but I haven't tried them yet!
What are your favorite Trader Joe's foods?

Anita and Hendra wanted a rustic garden theme for their wedding. They also picked rose and hydrangea, (Both are represented love, faith, beauty and timelessness). They also chose silver dust plant to be embedded into the design because that plant represent happiness.
Inspired by the vines, leaves and various flowers of a botanical garden, we also used green, peach and gold colors and added the rustic touch by using recycled paper.

Dear Magnus,
Hi, I am Yosuke Katsura.
Now I am reading your volume rendering book.
Ireally like it 🙂
Thank you for sharing technique used in actual production.
And I found that code7.7 on page114 and code 7.8 on page 115 are same.
Both codes show the wsBound function, but code7.7 should be the pointbase class.
Could you show us correct code on your website?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Davido has obvious an obvious upper hand regarding money. Due to his rich background and the fact that his father is a multimillion magnate, Davido can be one of the richest men in Nigeria. Nevertheless, it does not mean that Davido himself can`t earn significant cash of Franklins, it`s just he can`t ignore richness of the family.
Davido`s Dance
Skelewu is not only a song but also a famous dance which was created by Davido. One of the hit ideas for this famous rapper was a promoting the song through Skelewu dance competition. It terms of business-management; it was a brilliant idea which provided more popularity to Davido.
Davido`s presence in Africa
It seems that Davido is presented more on the Africa arena. His popular music videos are rapidly changing Africa pop culture. Wizkid has become number two regarding presence in Africa for now.
Davido is the Boss
From the very beginning of his music career, Davido was not only a musician but also a producer. He did not desire that people has power over him from the very beginning.
Davido is a businessman
It seems that father`s legacy in business and great educational opportunities in Oakwood University were beneficial for a future multimillionaire. His music network is now estimated at a fantastic price of $14.5 million, which includes not only music, but everything connected with Davido.

Americans for Responsible Leadership, the Arizona dark money group that tangled with California's campaign finance watchdog agency last fall, has been slapped with a lawsuit in Colorado, where a woman claims she received robocalls from the group in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.The lawsuit, which was filed last week in U.S. District Court in Colorado, is seeking class-action status. The complaint claimed that Marlo Edholm, a resident of Denver, received five robocalls from Americans for Responsible Leadership to her cell phone in the days leading up to Election Day. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) makes it illegal for automated phone calls to be made to cell phones, except in cases of emergency or where the called party has given prior consent.
"Plaintiff Marlo Edholm received at least five illegal robocalls from [Americans for Responsible Leadership] and brings this class action under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, to ensure both that [Americans for Responsible Leadership] ceases its practice of illegally robocalling voters in the future and that [Americans for Responsible Leadership] pays appropriate statutory damages for its past conduct," the complaint states.
Included in the complaint were the scripts from the alleged calls. On Nov. 5, for instance, Edholm received a call that said:
Hi, this is Pam with Americans for Responsible Leadership. I'm calling to remind you that tomorrow is Election Day. Mitt Romney has a plan to get America back on track. We can't afford four more years of Barack Obama as president. Please vote for Mitt Romney for president. This call was paid for by Americans for Responsible Leadership and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. 602-845-9854.
Americans for Responsible Leadership, which is based in Phoenix, dropped millions of dollars on campaigns and ballot initiative fights last fall, most notably in California, where an $11 million donation drew scrutiny from the state's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). As a 501(c)4 "social welfare" non-profit, Americans for Responsible Leadership does not have to disclose its donors under federal law. But the FPPC went after the group by pointing to state disclosure laws, and eventually forced the non-profit to admit that it had served merely as a pass-through for the money.
Expenditure reports filed with the Federal Election Commission this fall showed that Americans for Responsible Leadership paid millions of dollars to third-party companies in October and November for phone calls supporting Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and opposing Obama. Presumably, Edholm received calls related to those expenditures.
"It's our expectation that there were lots and lots and lots of these calls made," Edholm's lawyer, Joseph Mellon, told TPM on Wednesday.
According to the complaint, if Americans for Responsible Leadership is found to have "willfully and knowingly" violated the TCPA, it could cost the group $1,500 per violation.
A spokesperson for Americans for Responsible Leadership told TPM that as of Tuesday, the group had yet to receive the lawsuit, but that it had initiated an internal investigation into the matter.
"Of the millions of phone calls made, this is the first complaint ARL has been made aware of — of cell phones being called," spokesman Barrett Marson said.
In early November, a reader alerted TPM after receiving a robocall from Americans for Responsible Leadership. The reader noted that he possessed a California landline number, but that he had transferred the number to a cell phone some time before moving to Pennsylvania.

text: The Beach Boys Reunite at Grammys — Mike Love & Brian Wilson Still Hate Each Other? Written by The Dishmaster, Posted in General Welcome to The Dishmaster! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! The performance below infuriated me. I don't have the energy to summarize all the ways that Mike Love of The Beach Boys wronged Brian Wilson, so just click here if you're interested. That being said, Love and Wilson presumably agreed to the Grammy performance after much cajoling from outside forces, considering Love has been touring without any of the original band members for years and fallaciously referring to his crappy tribute band as, "The Beach Boys." Translation? — I hate Mike Love. In the performance below, watch Love basically have sex with himself on camera and barely look at Brian Wilson, who is the unequivocal genius behind the band. The camera should have stayed heavily on Wilson and not Love. It's absolutely ridiculous otherwise. 212212211147 by YardieGoals brian wilson Grammys mike love the beach boys « Bruno Mars at the 2012 Grammys — Kills It!

Effectiveness Can Easily Enhance New Business And Also Profits
Expense management is actually a significant matter in a delivery service industry. The fee for petrol and the possibility of a employee not completing scheduled delivery punctually can result in avoidable fees for the company. One way to guarantee driver
will be where they're meant to be at all times is via a
personal tracking device
Realizing where by all of the automobiles in the fleet are actually always can increase output. Together with its purposes for disciplinary reasons, fleet tracking solutions can be a great instruction resource. Managers can use the accrued data to teach operators how to get the most efficient direction.
Vehicle operators which get this sort of coaching go through less anxiety on the career because they are not going to commit an unnecessary amount of time in road traffic. They'll even be less likely to miss deliveries because they are going to have a very good way prepared just before they leave the loading center.
As soon as companies get a lot more economical, the company elevates. Clients would like to utilize a company that will get their packages to the meant beneficiary within the scheduled time frame. Testimonials definitely will travel easily when existing consumers begin to observe just how effective the corporation is and in addition just how pleasurable the workers tend to be. Needless to say, as business increases plus driver operators continue to supply mailings efficiently, spirits will definitely improve more as the organization can pay workers more for his or her commitment to outstanding support.

Islamic Scholars Blast CAIR for Trapping Muslims Into a 'Trance of Victimhood'
In a recent solicitation email to supporters, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) attacked Jewish philanthropist Nina Rosenwald for donating to "groups that exist to make people fear and hate Islam."
Referring to Ms. Rosenwald as "a Sears, Roebuck fortune heiress," the email cites Ms. Rosenwald's 2013 contributions totaling $1,057,000 to "Islamophobic groups." The self-described "civil rights and advocacy group" chose Ms. Rosenwald as an example of "the U.S. Islamophobia network [that] has people ready to throw buckets of money around to support anti-Muslim hate."
Seeking clarification of CAIR's reference to Ms. Rosenwald in its fundraising email, I posed the following questions to the organization in an email:

Notts County were busy on the last day of the transfer window as they announced the signings of Aivi Luik, Chelsea Weston and Rachel Yankey (the latter on loan from Arsenal) for the upcoming FAWSL season.
The signings will bring a lot of depth and, most importantly, experience to a club of the stature of Notts County who have lost some key players over the winter period.
Another Australian international joins the league
After winning the W-League title with Melbourne City, Luik joins Notts County on a season long contract. The 31-year old defender will add depth to the Notts squad as they gear up for a run at the FAWSL title.
Notts County manager, Rick Passmoor, spoke to the club's official website about the signing, saying that Luiz's "wealth of experience" would help the younger defenders on the team. He also noted that the Australian would add to the leadership already in the side and push the club forward.
Weston joins from Birmingham
Weston was the second announcement for Notts County as she joined the club from Birmingham City. Weston made 50 appearances over four seasons in the Midlands and now joins the Lady Pies for the upcoming season.
Passmoor was delighted to have brought in Weston, stating that her "ever presence in the league" would be a huge benefit for the team as she too looks to lend her experience to the new players at the club.
A surprising announcement
Perhaps the biggest news for Notts County was the deal to bring in Yankey on loan from Ladies for this season. Yankey is an England international who brings a high level of experience and play from her time with the Gunners.
Passmoor commented on the "devastating effect" Yankey could bring in attack and that he looks forward to using her quality and experience moving forward.

LFC 4th Birthday band #7: Channel Cairo
January 20th, 2011 • News
London's Channel Cairo are purveyors of dark, haunting and romantic indie-pop, or pop-noir in short. Their piano led, anthemic arrangements do remind us of early 00's band Thirteen Senses, and there's also obvious comparisons to be made with the likes of The Cure, The Smiths and latterly The Killers.
Like many of the other bands playing our fourth birthday shows, they're not overly concerned with current trends, instead choosing to concentrate on solid songwriting with memorable hooks. Ones that bore their way inside your head, and stay there. We firmly believe that if you stick to your guns, and you're good enough, your music will find an audience. And by this reckoning, we're backing Channel Cairo to succeed.
They haven't been around for too long, so there's not a great deal else we can reveal about them, apart from the fact they rehearse next to a whiskey bar (of course they do), and often collaborate with interesting photographers and film makers, to offer us an intriguing audio-visual package. Get down to The Macbeth early on the 27th to catch their live show.
Location: London, UK
Lineup: Josh Bowyer (Vocals, Keys), Luke Saunders (Guitar), Hamish Murtagh (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Joe Cross (Bass, Backing Vocals), James Gardiner (Drums)
Label: Unsigned
Previous LFC appearances: 0
Blog love: "London's most exciting newcomers" (Gigjunkie)
LFC 4th Birthday show details: The Macbeth, 27 Jan, on-stage 8.00pm RSVP TICKETS
Who are you?
We're an Anglo-French 5 piece living in London , playing big intriguing indie songs. AKA "Haunting, epic pop", according to Rough Trade.
What were your highlights of 2010?
Meeting the crazy guy who flew over from Cairo to watch us play. The power in our band name took us all quite by surprise.
What are you most looking forward to in 2011?
Probably the final mix of our debut album. That'll be a good day. We'll crack open the bourbon and our manager will have to take us out for steak. That and playing our first festival gig.
Do you have anything available to buy right now?
Nothing official yet, but we have an unofficial EP demo available to hear online and a remix of 'Twenty' by upcoming producer Andrew Maury of RAC available to download. We're also selling off our souls, again unofficially. Hamish's is the only one currently sold, which is why he has no shadow.
What's been your best gig(s) to date?
June 2010. Canonbury tube station. Waiting for the last tube home after a gig we got carried away and ended up playing for hours and sharing taxis with some people that stayed. Other than that we played a wild gig to a sold out 100 club which was phenomenal.
And finally, why should people attend your gig?
Josh is our Ginsberg and we're building a new beat generation for the '10s. We want to reignite the flame of giant romantic indie – if we succeed by summer, you'll know about it.

Featured Person: Dorothée Clinton -Brooklyn, NY.
Dorothée is a multi-child sponsor through Children International and is a longtime Aura's House supporter.
Dorothée Writes:
I live in Brooklyn, NY. I'm actually just finishing up pre-requisite classes to go back to school and become a nurse (in an accelerated program for people who already have a BA in something else. I have one in English). Hopefully I will be starting in the Fall and finishing next year. My sponsored children have inspired me in that way- I want to show them that it's never to late to follow your dream or further your education. I live with my boyfriend and very friendly cat Loki. I sponsor 7 children (and 2 group sponsorships). I actually can't remember how I stumbled across Aura's House – it must have been through LiftOne! I sort of feel like it's always been there. I really love reading about all the projects that you guys have done. I actually go through the archives a lot. It's amazing how many lives you've changed with your site!
About Sponsorship
It was the summer of 2002, I was 17 years old, and facing one of the toughest choices in my life. College you say? No! That was worked out. I would be leaving soon to begin my college experience. New bedding, notebooks, Ramen noodles, etc. were already put aside in boxes just waiting to be stuffed in the car. No, my tough choice was which child to sponsor through Children International.My mother has always been a huge inspiration in my life. As a single mother, she raised me with love and compassion. It was her early involvement with Children International that let me see what a great organization this is. I would get excited with each annual photo, and more over every word that here children had written her. However, as much as my mother was happy to share with me, I knew that they were really her children, not mine.
Preparing to step out into the world on my own, I realized that so many children would never get the same opportunity. Why not give another child an opportunity that I was so fortunate to have? I decided that part of growing up was not only to take responsibility for myself but also my place in the world – and I think in some way we are all responsible for each other. So I vowed to sponsor a child, and pay for his/her expenses with the money I earned during the summer. It would take some advanced planning but I was confident I could do it.
So there I was browsing the Children International site – yep, even back in 2002 they had photos up! I remember though that there weren't nearly as many children on the site as there are today. And yet, I browsed for HOURS. I paused on each one and clicked to learn more. I had no criteria; I didn't know what I was looking for. I was on the verge of just deciding to send in the form and let them pick for me when I saw her. Ella.
She was adorable. I knew the moment I saw her that it was meant to happen. She didn't have the same grin as some of the other children, instead she had a sort of half-smile where one corner of her mouth was slowly creeping its way up. She had personality, a challenge in her eyes. "Yes, I'm wonderful, but you couldn't handle how wonderful I am!" She had a glint of mischief, but an overall kind demeanor. I noticed too that she was being raised by her mother – just like I had been. On the other hand, she had 5 sisters while I was an only child. How did her mother do it?!? At the time her family was earning under $50/month. I clicked the sponsor me button and I've never once regretted it.
Throughout college she taught me to be grateful for what I had, and taught me the importance of budgeting out my money. And through her letters, I saw what a bright and spirited young girl she was – and what a kind and compassionate woman she has become.
Today Ella is 18 years old. She's older than the age at which I began sponsoring her. She is wise beyond her years, and has seen more of the world than I probably ever will. Her every letter is beautiful to read. Her writing skills are astounding and she moves me with her honest accounts of her life. She is aware of her situation, and always sweet to me, but I think it is her family that will always keep her moving forward. Hers is a very loving family.
I was happy to finally provide her mother last year with a washer and dryer machine. Her mother has spent the last decade (And probably longer) supporting the family by hand-washing clothing. She still has two daughters even younger than Ella to take care of. Ella said this was her mother's dream and that I was her guardian angel. I wanted to tell her that instead it was Ella and her determined spirit that guided me throughout college and helped me become who I am today as an adult. I'm always amazed at how reciprocal sponsorship is. Ella has given me at least as much as I have given her.
This last year will be a challenge. She is 18, with a little under a year left in the program. I already dread that day. Of course I am proud of her. She stuck with her studies through high school, and is now working hard to help her family. I would have loved her to go to college but the reality is that sometimes that isn't possible, even when the funds are there. But she is working in a computer shop which I hope will help her hone her skills and allow her to advance in time. As for me, I will correspond with her as much as possible during these last few months. I hope that she will choose to continue our correspondence after graduation, but no matter what I will always carry her in my heart. Ella my first sponsored child, my inspiration, my heart.
Dorothée is currently working on a personal project to help fund a community water project for another of her sponsored children and her Tabaco, Philippines community! Visit her water project.

A note from Joelle...
Ahhh yes! The 'Deen Scene is back and today I bring you a really cool, new restaurant that just opened in Union Square: Thaikhun [Pronounced Tycoon].
This restaurant celebrates Thai Street Food, which is quickly becoming a favourite all around the world. My friend Elsh recommended this place as she had heard good things. Trusting her judgment, myself Eimhear and Dalila were pretty excited.
When we entered, the [very well-dressed] staff greeted us in the traditional Thai way, which was a nice touch. We then sat down, had a scan of the menu and ordered some drinks.
I slurped on this 'Pash and Shoot' smoothie, served in the plastic cups you get from street food trucks - another nice touch!
Our shared Bangkok Street Platter arrived in super speedy time and we got stuck in [after I took a million pictures first!]!
A mountain of crispy wontons, grilled chicken and pork skewers, steamed chicken balls and an array of dips - so, so delicious!
After all those delicious fried meats, I had to keep it real and order a refreshing noodle soup. I can't remember the name of this [I think it was Tom Yum?], but it really was amazing. The marriage of the chicken, pork, beans and noodles with the heavily flavoured soup was like a party in my mouth. I like the generous portions and just how clean it was - no dodgy ingredients, just exactly what it said on the menu (minus the coriander, because I can't stand it)!
We were well and truly stuffed after the main course and starter. Afraid of the risk of physically bursting, we refrained from ordering desserts and just stayed at the table to have a good chinwag.What's so special about this place is that you are given an authentic Thai street food journey from start to end. From the decor, kind staff and the food, of course, you feel like you are an explorer in the real streets of Bangkok - having the hustle-and-bustle of the city on one side and the street food vendors on the other.It's also extremely casual, so you don't have to whip out the cashmere scarf and boat shoes to have a seat.The Joint Owner, Kim Kaewkraikhot used to be a chef in her native Thailand and it's clear that her vision is to share her country's passion for good service and good food with us UK folk.
Kim and her husband sources the authentic Thai decor that is displayed in the restaurant. From the Buddha shrine to the light bulbs!
Even the name 'Thaikhun' loosely translates to 'Your Thailand'.Every time I walk past this place, it's practically full, which is great to see. I think Aberdonians want some fresh, healthier options to the usual burger/pizza/milkshake scene and this is a fabulous alternative!ขอบคุณสำหรับการอ่าน![thanks for reading!]

Alexander's Aims – Grand Design or Growing Ambition?
You would have thought that, somewhere, there would have been some clear statement, of Alexander's intentions – of what he was trying to achieve.
But actually, historians disagree about Alexander's aims.
The Primary Record
The classical sources represented Alexander as a man of unlimited ambitions. Plutarch, in his speech Alexander's Fortune and Virtue, made it clear that he believed Alexander's aim to have been the oikoumene (the inhabited world), and Aristobolus recorded his desire to be 'lord of all'.
Arrian (Book 7.1), also, opines:
For my own part I cannot conjecture with any certainty what were his plans; and I do not care to guess. But this I think I can confidently affirm, that he meditated nothing small or mean; and that he would never have remained satisfied with any of the acquisitions he had made, even if he had added Europe to Asia, or the islands of the Britons to Europe; but would still have gone on seeking for some unknown land beyond those mentioned.
Secondary Historians
Following these classical writers, early historians (such as the 19th century genius, bishop and historian Connop Thirlwall) also, tended to accept that a man of such great achievements must have had great designs from the beginning. It was very easy to take the stories of Alexander's youth at their face value (and not as post-hoc inventions) and to declare (with my childhood
Newnes Pictorial Encyclopaedia) that here was a young man aware of a destiny to rule the world.
Go through the SOURCES of Alexander's life,
selecting key illustrative passages, and defining/inferring the extent of
Alexander's aims at that point in time.
In your opinion, did Alexander's aims change over time - and, if so, how and when?

Post Production
Ozier Hayes
Director of Photography

Jen Stocks would like to confess she works best
under deadline pressure- but that fact alone didn't
turn her into the multi-talented hit television
producing machine she¹s become. She also
possesses a free-wheeling imagination and a gift
for organization (two traits that were once thought
to be impossible to find in one brain). But, perhaps
the number one gift she brings to her work as
a storyteller is the strange compulsion people
have to tell her their secrets.
³For some reason people
have always like to confide in me. I have no idea
why but they just like to tell me their secrets²
After graduating from Emerson College with a
BA in communications (and a bundle more secrets
she¹s not at liberty to discuss), Jen moved
to California to begin her work in television,
quickly turning her unique blend of skills into
a career to be proud of and working her way from
writing the cue cards for The New Newlywed Game,
to producing, directing and writing hours of emotionally
powerful television. She¹s thrilled with
this evolution, not only because it¹s more
satisfying intellectually and allows her to travel
the country meeting fascinating people, but also
because she was never regarded as an ³A-list²
cue card writer in LA.
³I would always leave
a word or two out... no matter how hard I tried!²

Just before we left Britain, Irina, Anna and I all went to see Nick, Roz, and the newly arrived Jack down in Cornwall. There are no photos here of Anna's cousin as they prefer him to have some online privacy for now, but the following shot was taken in their house in between bouts of coo-ing and cuddling Jack a little. It felt really strange to see such a (comparatively) small baby again, though since that time Jack has made it quite clear that, physically at least, he'll have no problems playing rugby in the future. Fingers crossed for our trip back to the UK this Christmas, and if we do make it, I'm hoping we'll be able to cross paths. Anyway, enough of "Uncle" Chris, here is my brother Nick and me on the sofa.

Aiming For Quadlingual?
As regular readers/subscribers will know, this blog recently (finally) caught up with Anna's photos and videos from our time back in Britain earlier this year. I think after another three or four posts, I'll have cleared the backlog of all pictures taken during that time, not just Anna-based ones. From there, I can post the photos of Anna we have taken since April this year.
Anyway, just a quick explanation of why I'm holding a letter in this one… Despite Anna only just being over a year old at the time, the local authorities in Swansea had asked us to consider whether we wanted Anna to be educated in a Welsh-language or English-language school! To be honest, the thought hadn't even crossed my mind at that point, though with her now starting playgroup/nursery a few times a week over here, I suppose our minds are slowly beginning to consider such topics.

Ony Vsur Derjit Kazakhstan Bezopasnom
I've attempted to spell out this post's title in Latin characters, as the following Cyrillic characters will probably just appear as question marks still. ??? ??? ?????? ????????? ??????????.
First we have what appears to be a promotional video for the Kazakh navy, though it doesn't actually exist yet. Hat tip to EurasiaNet for the video below and also this related article regarding orders for patrol boats and corvettes. I'll just pretend I know what a corvette is for now 🙂 The Kazakh coast guard already exists on the Caspian sea, however a fully fledged navy would be able to sail further out, and obviously also be a visible deterrent to any ne'er do wells interested in Kazakh properties and installations.
I decided to check out the YouTube account that had uploaded this video, and found an interesting selection there.
Kazakh Special Forces – interesting that you only seem to see Kazakh faces there, I didn't notice any Russians under the camo paint.
Here we have the Kazakh Presidential Guard, though the footage must be a little dated, as I believe that is Pope John Paul II being greeted around a minute into the clip, and our dearly beloved Glorious Leader President Nazarbayev looks a little younger at around the 3:45 mark. I'm not going to point out the ceremonies involved, especially as Britain has a similar set up with changing of the guard etc. in London. That said, I can't help notice the Soviet style marching each time I watch this. I think this is from CCCP/USSR days, or do many other countries copy this style? There is a small section of non-ceremonial action at around 5:10.
If you have any military, specifically Air Force knowledge, I'd appreciate you taking a look at the follow clip. It is entitled "Kazakh Air Force strike the Manas Base", but some of the footage (especially of the bombers taken from lower in the sky) seem to have been collected from other operations. Not as bad as one of the other videos on the channel that definitely had hollywood movie footage cut in to it. Anyway, feel free to leave an anonymous comment if you could clear up this query.
Finally, after all the military themed clips, we have a little b-boy action…
OK, I lied, I couldn't leave you without this brilliant tribute to our most esteemed leader. I will not be writing anything negative about him here, nor publishing comments that contain insults, because of legal constraints in this country, and also due to the fact that there is nothing negative to write about him, his political party and the policies currently in force here. Obviously.
I should point out the use of the "Eye of the Tiger" could be misleading.
Face to face, out in the heat. Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry. They stack the odds 'til we take to the street….
You see you can not hold a protest on the street without applying for, and receiving the relevant permits. Perhaps we should alter the lyrics to ensure no Kazakh citizens are led astray?

A Real Manager
I was playing with PockeTwit yesterday, checking if all the features still worked OK, when I ran my saved search for tweets that mention Cheltenham. (For those that have only come to know me and this site since moving to Kazakhstan, I a lot of my childhood years in Cheltenham, after moving from Yeovil before secondary school.) Ignoring the tweets that were obviously for a Cheltenham in America (which apparently has a shopping mall that teenagers love to write about, and the residents there seem to think a local town is far inferior to their version of a Cheltenham), I came across some vacancies for customer service jobs, more specifically technical support manager. I favourited the tweet (I check twitter on my phone whilst having a smoke, and look up any interesting links on a PC later) just to see what the details were. It turned out the agency was based in Cheltenham, but the job was in London. The salary wasn't too bad, and to my surprise I only lacked one essential skill, and ticked quite a few of the desired ones. I'm not sure right now if I'd want to be in a management role when we return to Britain (or if I'd be selected), but it was reassuring that there are jobs that pay a living wage or more that I could at least feasibly get an interview for!
This post's title refers to a point that was raised during the last English club I ran where locals reminded me that the title manager does not infer the same job responsibilities over here at all. You will most likely not be in charge of anyone, and can be quite junior within an organization and still be a "manager" in Russian.

How Often Is Too Often?
At some point in the future we will be moving back to Britain, and Anna will most likely not be at home all day by that point. This means that both Irina and I will be able to (ha, like we would have a financial choice 🙂 ) work, whether it be full time, part time or temp work. I have decided to try and plan ahead and check out the job scene within the IT sector in advance. I don't know whether I hope for an engineering job (I used to work as a credit card terminal installer/repairer/staff trainer), technical support (most of my recent roles) or perhaps something a little different.
Being realistic, I suspect it will depend on where we live, and the positions available at the time. Anyway, having already signed up to LinkedIn (see my profile here), I thought it was time I start collating references, especially as a lot of my old bosses don't work for the same company any more, and so I asked a few clients, colleagues and former employers to leave a comment there. Even Kate said something nice! I also decided to start looking at the different groups there, and was surprised to find quite a lot of "content" that appeared to be little more than spam, by a
resume résumé resumé CV writing service company, on the IT Job Board group. I was wondering if any other members saw this in other groups and whether it was accepted as normal behaviour or not? I am not writing this question over there, because perhaps this frequency and topic of posting is considered normal? Anyway, if you don't want to answer publicly, feel free to e-mail me (see the Contact Me section on this page), or send me a message at LinkedIn.

Plane Tickets
I am pretty sure that this post will end up working my anti-spam plugins overtime, but I was wondering if anybody knew of where to get good Astana <> Britain tickets – price wise? Back in 2006 ChrisD managed to find a return flight that was ridiculously cheap, something silly like two to three hundred pounds. Whenever we go back to the UK for Christmas/have family or friends over, we try to find the cheapest deals going, but never really get very far. We obviously try Travelocity, Expedia and LastMinute , and then once we've found the cheapest flights, check the airline's own website, in case there are special offers on. For a short while, Air Astana had a great deal on return flights (but only from Kazakhstan and back again, not vice versa) but that offer expired. Anyway, does anyone have a tip of where to look, or alternative approaches to consider? Mum will be here in Astana in a little over two weeks, so it would be too late to save her money, but we are hoping to go back to Wales around Christmas/New Year time, so if we need to book well in advance for savings, now would probably be a good time to check, I'm assuming.
Sep 07 2010
Photos Sorted
I have finished sorting the photos we have shot here in Kazakhstan since our return from Britain, and I'm about half way through cropping, resizing and minor tweaking as well. I hope to have them published on here soon, and as we will be going back to our flat tomorrow (we have been house and pet sitting for Irina's parents whilst they were on holiday), I should be able to actually post more often.
The one problem with looking after Anna in a house, compared to a flat, is that she wants to go up and down between all the floors quite a lot, meaning even if I use Irina's laptop instead of the main PC, I don't get a lot of free time to post. Anyway, expect photos of Anna's new custom built play house (no wooden swing sets needed), meals out, playing around and our trip to Petropavlovsk! I think I have spelled the city name correctly this time, I don't fancy having to trawl through all my posts again after last time's problems.
I have also uploaded all the videos to YouTube, though only 1/3 of the new ones have any sort of title or description yet. As there are still a few to post that were already uploaded from our UK trip, I'm not going to lose any sleep over these anonymous videos just yet.

Flashing The Day Away!
While Irina was not at home today, I spent most of my time flashing. Rather than calling the local authorities though, you should just nod and say "maladyets".
The flashing consisted of SharpFin-ing (if it isn't a verb, it should be) my Logik IR-100 internet radio, as well as my HTC TyTn II / Kaiser.
The internet radio has been unable to play BBC Radio on demand programs for more than a few minutes ever since April/May. Given that over here in Kazakhstan, the main reason I want the radio on is to catch up with UK based news programs and a little light comedy before falling asleep, the device was quickly losing any reason for using mains power up. I had wanted to apply a 3rd party update to the radio for a while, but whilst it was able to complete 95% of my requests without problem, I couldn't justify risking bricking the thing. Not only is it no longer on sale back home, similar devices cost between two and five times as much, so had I cocked up and ended up with plastic box that did nothing, I'd have felt highly agrieved.
Now that the new linux components are installed and working OK, I can select different firmwares from Reciva (the company that runs the online access portal for it), play media files locally from a thumb drive, and even remotely administer it from my PC. There is only one (internal) USB socket on the motherboard, which is normally occupied by a caseless WiFi adaptor, however with a little brute force on a rear plastic grill, a USB hub that wasn't used for anything important (only USB 1.1), and a few minutes re-checking procedures, Cygwin re-installation and telnetting, the radio has reprieved it's binward journey. To get to this point, I did switch from Windows 7 to XP (problems with services blocking ports), at which point a different error appeared. Whilst fixing this DLL dependency problem, Anna decided to press the reset button the PC. When logging back in to XP, it appeared that the unscheduled reboot had caused a corrupt file. Luckily Vista saved the day (most likely the first and last time you'll read that phrase without sarcasm on this blog.) Not only did the subterfuge of making the radio think my PC was a Reciva server, and so it could therefore accept my modifications, but it has proven the most stable and error free OS on my PC today. Obviously I didn't actually boot into Ubuntu as I'm not comfy enough with it yet to try flashing other devices from it.
So, on to the second and slightly more fear-filled flashing incident today… my phone. As previously mentioned, the screen isn't touchable in a few places due to a dodgy repair carried out by professionals back in Britain (need to contact them soon), and I was interested to find out what differences I could expect from the next phone we're getting, which will have Windows Mobile 6.5, rather than 6.1. Given that I have a few backup phones that function perfectly well as phones, if not enterntainment/productivity enhnancing devices, I decided to take the plunge and see if I could hit two for two in terms of not killing lumps of plastic and silicon today. Skipping the usual routine of killing off processes in Windows to allow deeper access to the phone, I dumped the renamed ROM onto the microSD card, and told the phone to get on with it. No problems yet, though it is still very early days. The new interface is interesting, but I deliberately chose a light weight ROM with nearly all apps and bells and whistles removed. I'm slowly going through the process of reinstalling important apps (where simply re-creating shortcuts to the still present programs on the memory card won't suffice), and I've not yet had to try and figure out how to text/call/live stream videos etc. in a rush, but I'm happy to know that the Touch Pro 2 from HTC will have this same OS version at it's core, even if the interface will be bells and whistled to the hilt 🙂
Before I forget, welcome back home to Mum, John, Aunty Jean and Uncle Pete. Their well planned break took an early diversion, but more on that in the coming days.
Right, I'm off for now as I need to boot back into XP and re-sync contacts etc. from Outlook, so feel free to check out the rest of this page for a lot of photos and videos of Anna back when she was in Britain.

Feeding The Ducks At The River In Evesham
Copying the activities from a week before, here we are in Evesham (I'm reliabily informed by Wikipedia that some locals refer to their hometown as Asum??) feeding the ducks once more. The river Avon winds it's way through a lot of Britain, and you can get to the area shown in the video by walking through the old Abbey grounds.
There are some tables near there, so if we ever visit Britain in the summer, we could probably take a picnic down there, and really give the ducks something to quack about with the breadcrumbs 🙂 However, the 12th of March isn't really sun bathing season, so we fed the ducks and moved on.
BTW, I didn't plan on putting Anna's dummy in a pile of bird seed, the idea was for Anna to take a handful to feed the ducks, however Irina had just asked her to hand the dummy over, and when Anna saw a palm in front of her, just followed the request (ignoring the Mamma part).
Obviously we cleaned up the dummy at home before returning it into general circulation. Anna normally only has the dummy in as she falls asleep, but we take it when there will be long trips in the pushchair, as it works well as a temporary pacifier. Which is why the Americans call it that I suppose?
Also, I was hovering around Anna as 1) She was very close to the river bank and 2) I vividly remember a goose snapping at my fingers as a child and so, along with bees & wasps, I am convinced that they'll attack Anna if I'm not there to protect her 🙂 Though Anna should probably know that once she is capable of running well, and flapping her arms in the air like Daddy does when he sees something black and yellow buzzing around, she might be best to assume I'll stop pretending that I'm anything other than a big girl when it comes to bees and wasps. I'll jump in front of a raging bull/speeding car/other dangerous thing I can't think of right now, but once Anna learns to run, and wants to run away from bees/wasps, she may find her Dad joining her 🙂

Cheltenham Visit
We did not have long in Cheltenham whilst we were in Britain, and as luck would have it, just before we left race week started, meaning travelling anywhere in the area could suddenly involve hundreds of cars on roads that were designed with about 1/10 of the traffic flow in mind. We did manage to meet up with a few people though, as you can see from the photo below, taken on the 11th of March. We were at Emma's house and her daughter was a little star, playing with Anna and keeping her entertained 🙂

| Anon chapter 1 . 10/13/2009
I first read this fic years ago, perhaps not too long after it was written, and it quickly became my favorite fic in the entire KH fandom. It continues to be my favorite fic today. I love everything about this story - the way it is written, the premise, the pairing and characterization... it's a true gem. I feel as if I should thank you for writing something so wonderful and inspiring. So... thanks. :)

Amazing. And the best part? I get to the bottom of the page, go to leave a review, and see an ad for Macy's advertising panties.
| kong is king chapter 1 . 5/23/2008
Dark, hot, and just a touch of...I can't call it fluff, but at the end, when Larx asked Olly to be her girlfriend...ah, fuck it, this is sheer crack that really should be canon.
Drugs are bad unless you're drugging someone into sleeping with you. Then it's not just bad, they usually sue your ass and take all your money. Not that I would know anything about that. But if they like it even after they're high, like Olly, then drugs are just bad again. But anyway.

In their original land grant application filed on September 20, 1826, two Irish empressarios asked the government of Mexico for the Texas coastal plain from the Sabine River to the Nueces. On a modern map, that would be everything between Corpus Christi and Port Arthur!
James Power and James Hewetson had to settle for a lot less, and even then most of the 350 colonists they brought over from Ireland died in a cholera epidemic. Hewetson moved south and became one of the richest men in Mexico, while Power took the political plunge and signed the Texas Declaration of Independence.

- Yield
- Serves 4 to 6 as main course or 8 as a side dish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds medium onions (about 7), halved lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
- 2 1/2 pounds large red potatoes (about 7)
- 1/4 pound chilled soft mild goat cheese from a log or disk, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 cup milk
- In a heavy 5- to 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions with thyme and salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring frequently to keep from scorching, until golden brown. Remove kettle from heat.
- While onions are cooking, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil for potatoes. Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 5 minutes from time water returns to a boil. Drain potatoes well in a colander.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. and lightly oil a 2- to 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
- Arrange half of potatoes, overlapping slightly, in dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover potatoes with onions, spreading evenly, and top with goat cheese. Arrange remaining potatoes, overlapping slightly, over cheese and season generously with salt and pepper. Dot gratin with butter. Gratin may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered.
- Pour milk evenly over potatoes and bake 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden. Gratin may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat gratin before serving.

A Florida moderate became the latest Republican to call for boosting tax credits for seniors in the GOP plan to repeal Obamacare.
Rep. Gus Bilirakis said Monday that the American Health Care Act is the best answer to replace the "unsustainable" Obamacare, but "more must be done within the bill to help Americans in their 50s and 60s with healthcare costs." Bilirakis is the latest moderate to voice concerns about the high cost of insurance premiums for seniors not old enough for Medicare.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said last weekend that he is considering boosting the tax credits for seniors to help pay for the cost of their premiums, but no official announcement has been made nor any details about how much of a boost they would get.
Ryan's statement comes as Republican leaders and the White House try to shore up support before an expected Thursday vote on the American Health Care Act. To entice conservatives, the White House already agreed to include a mandatory work requirement for Medicaid and an option to allow states to receive block grants for their federal funding.
Bilirakis and other moderates are concerned about premiums for people who are at least 50 but haven't reached 65, the age for Medicare eligibility.
The bill's tax credits are given out based on age, with older people getting more than younger people. Someone 60 years and above would get $4,000, while a person under 30 about $2,000.
That is different from Obamacare's tax credits, which were given out based on income.
The problem for moderates is that the Republican plan allows insurers to charge seniors five times the amount they charge a younger person, up from the three times allowed under Obamacare.
AARP, the senior citizens lobby that is opposing the bill, said the change could cause premiums to soar for older Americans not on Medicare. The senior lobby said that 50- to 64-year-olds earning $15,000 a year would receive tax credits that are up to 60 percent less than the amount under Obamacare.
The House Rules Committee is scheduled to take up the American Health Care Act, with a full House vote expected Thursday.

CINCINNATI – They won three games and they got to see a little history. All in all, the Padres had a wonderful time in Cincinnati.
Anthony DeSclafani pitched eight innings and singled with the bases loaded on Sunday, helping the Reds salvage their weekend dedicated to Pete Rose with a 3-0 victory. The Reds retired his No. 14 Sunday.
"Overall it was a good weekend," San Diego manager Andy Green said. "It was enjoyable for me but when you're managing a big league club, you don't walk away from losing a game and feel much joy in the aftermath. I'll reflect on the weekend much more favorably as time passes."
The Padres were trying to pull off their first four-game sweep of Cincinnati. They couldn't do much against DeSclafani (2-0) in his fourth start since returning from a strained oblique that he suffered during spring training.
DeSclafani picked off a runner, and the Reds caught two others trying to steal, limiting an offense that has been the NL's most prolific in June. The Padres came in averaging 5.74 runs per game in the month. DeSclafani left after throwing a season-high 117 pitches.
DeSclafani gave up five singles, struck out five, and didn't allow a runner to reach second base. He also hit an RBI single in the sixth inning off Luis Perdomo (2-3). His first hit of the season snapped an 0-for-48 slump by Reds pitchers.
Jay Bruce hit his 17th homer, and Tucker Barnhart doubled home a run. Tony Cingrani retired the side in the ninth for his ninth save in 14 chances, completing Cincinnati's first shutout of the season.
Perdomo allowed seven hits in seven innings and struck out five, adding to his recent streak of solid performances.
