AÑO is the fifty-fourth most common word in the Spanish language.
AÑO is a masculine noun, linked into the English word, annual, and anniversary, amongst others; in other words, something related to the English word year.
Indeed, the word AÑO means "year".
One of the first idiomatic phrases that Spanish students learn is "tengo…años". This is translated into English as "I am…years old" whereas the Spanish is literally saying "I have … years".
This brings me to the question of the importance of accents in Spanish. If a ten year old says, or writes, "tengo … anos" i.e. without the tilde (the accent on the n), he or she is saying that he or she has, not to put too fine a point on it, ten anuses ( or should that be ani?). Moral of the story – beware the accent!
Here are a couple of examples of the use of año
1. As above – tengo veinticinco años – I am 25 years old
2. El año próximo voy a ir a España – Next year I am going to go to Spain.
The moral of the story here then is to be very careful with your accents! AÑO is the fifty-fourth most frequently used word in Spanish.

A couple from Indiana faces jail time for rescuing a baby deer.
Jeff and Jennifer Councellor found an injured fawn more than two years ago.
They took it home, treated its wounds, and nursed it back to health.
Last summer, an officer from the state's Department of Natural Resources told them the deer had to be euthanized because it could be dangerous.
But the deer escaped from the Councellor's yard on the day it was supposed be euthanized.
"I think this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion," said Jeff Councellor. "You've had Decatur County prosecutor involved in a Fayette County incident with a Union County judge. It's a complete waste of tax payer money."
The Councellors are being charged with unlawful possession of a deer, which is a misdemeanor that could come with a jail sentence and fines.

The BEST Information & Advice EVER on Silver Tarnishing
When you purchased your women's or men's silver ring, it arrived all shiny, bright and gorgeous but after a time, you noticed a horrid dark green/black ring appearing around your finger. Have Love2Have sold you a faulty ring made of nasty cheap materials? Well, of course, the answer is no. Silver naturally tarnishes so here is everything you need to know in this article about this.
Made from the UK standard 925 sterling silver all our jewellery is hallmarked at a British Assay Office. Pure silver cannot be used to make jewellery as it is too soft, you must alloy it with other metals such as copper in a ratio of 92.5% to 7.5%, hence the name 925 Sterling silver.
'Ah but' you say, I have worn silver before without it tarnishing so I must be having an allergic reaction to your jewellery. Again the answer is no; it is just the sterling silver oxidising. If you have had silver jewellery that you have not reacted to before, then it could be that this is imported silver which is different to UK silver. It is possible that the jewellery may have been plated or coated with something to prevent tarnishing, or it may well be that it isn't silver at all.
'Ah but' you say, my partner also bought one of your rings, and he/she hasn't had any problem with tarnishing. Well, the problem is that there are factors that affect how quickly silver will tarnish. As individuals, we all have very different skins which don't react in the same way to substances that we come into contact. The acids will vary in your skin which can affect the speed at which the silver will tarnish. What you eat, drink or smoke, perfumes, soaps, hairspray, cosmetics and even time of the month (sorry ladies) can affect the tarnishing process.
Hydrogen Sulphide is the culprit for making silver tarnish, and unfortunately, this substance is something we are all exposed to during our normal daily life. From rubber bands, wool, paint and fossil fuels (hence pollution) to the atmospheric humidity, we really cannot escape this substance.
Can tarnishing be prevented? Not really although some silver jewellery manufacturers will plate the jewellery to avoid it coming into contact with the skin. Why don't Love2Have recommend this? Well plated jewellery will be harder to clean, and the plating with wear and the cleaning will eventually remove it, and it will need redoing. As the plating wears off, your jewellery will take on a somewhat unpleasant patchy look, and the tarnishing process will begin again.
So what is the best way to tackle tarnishing of silver?
With continued wear, the tarnishing should be less of a problem, but you should not wear your jewellery all the time and take it off when you have a bath and when you go to bed. Polish it with a soft silver cloth - you can buy these on the high street. As a golden rule, if you want any jewellery to stay looking beautiful, take it off when you get home and put it on when you go out again.
Can silver jewellery be returned if it tarnishes? The answer is no. Tarnishing is a natural process, and it is up to individuals to decide whether silver is a suitable material for them to wear before purchasing from Love2Have.
Information on cleaning silver
With regards to care, we suggest using silver dip if it becomes tarnished in any way (rather than a silver cloth) as this will get in the nooks and crannies to lift any dirt out. And then going over it with a toothbrush and soapy water to clean any other parts that need it if necessary.
For anyone interested in cleaning their jewellery professionally you may have heard about Ultrasonic Cleaning. However, by far, the best way to avoid any issues with your silver is to prevent it all together if you find that tarnishing is a problem for you. There are other alternatives such as gold for instance. However gold is expensive, so the ever-increasing popularity of titanium and steel as an alternative could be for you. Both of these metals are hypoallergenic - meaning no skin reactions whatever the case.
Now that you have read the best information and advice ever on silver tarnishing, it's time you take a look at the best unusual silver rings and silver jewellery in the UK in our MEN'S JEWELLERY and WOMEN'S JEWELLERY sections ONLINE in the UK!

It's well-established that hiring people with disabilities makes good business sense, and when 1 in 5 Americans has a disability, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, a good proportion of your workforce is likely impacted.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects people with disabilities from discrimination, including requiring workplace accessibility and reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities who need them. But have you taken any time to think about how friendly and welcoming your workplace is to people with disabilities, above and beyond the requirements of the ADA? We have some ideas for how you can ensure that employees with disabilities have a positive experience with your company.
- Actively recruit people with disabilities.
You hopefully already have an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy that encourages applicants with disabilities to apply. Including a similar line in your job ads is a good start to attracting candidates with disabilities. In addition, you can attend job fairs geared toward people with disabilities (such as those hosted by Incight in Portland), or partner with a nonprofit organization or an agency (like yours truly) that specializes in employing people with disabilities.
- Educate your workforce.
Part of creating a welcoming environment is being respectful when speaking about disabilities and not using dated, offensive terms. Using person-first language is a good first step – such as referring to a person with a disability rather than a disabled person. A disability training by a qualified professional can help explain the importance of language. At DePaul Industries, we have an on-staff rehabilitation counselor who conducts these trainings with all new employees. It's likely that a nonprofit organization or HR consulting firm in your area may offer a training like this. And observations like National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which is recognized every October, are great times to hold educational events or discussions and recognize the contributions of your employees with disabilities.
- Recognize that not all disabilities are visible.
You or some of your employees may assume that you can always see a person's disability, but that's absolutely not the case. Many people have invisible disabilities (also referred to as hidden disabilities), including conditions like a hearing or vision impairment, epilepsy, chronic pain, Crohn's disease, major depression, or being in recovery from alcohol addiction, among many other conditions. While much imagery regarding disabilities includes individuals in wheelchairs or using canes, it's important to remember that you can't make assumptions about whether someone has a disability based on their appearance.

An angel investor is a wealthy person who is willing to invest his or her money in a start-up company to become one of the owners. Angel funding helps to fill the gap between the money an entrepreneur has collected and the venture capital he or she hopes to get.
Angel investors would initially want to know the typical amount raised by an entrepreneur before investing their money. Some of them are professionals in their industries and can therefore help by advising an entrepreneur. Angel investment is considered a high risk since investors tend to expect good performance from the entrepreneur and his team.

When I asked folks at Reba Place Fellowship what work there was to be done at Plow Creek Fellowship, I was overjoyed to find out that it was blueberry season. Blueberries are my favorite berries, and I have not had a lot of fresh fruit since I left home. So this morning I got up early and headed over in a borrowed car to the U-Pick Blueberry Patch to pick blueberries for the farmer's market and eat as many as I wanted while I picked.
I am happy to say that I picked quite a few even though I ate a lot. I tried to eat those that had imperfections and thus were not useful. After we picked enough for the farmer's market, I was invited to pick some for myself as a kind of payment. I have been munching on them this afternoon. Pure bliss:)
These blueberry bushes, which have been growing since about 1984, are big and healthy. I think it is such a great business to have for a community. It provides fresh fruit that can also easily be frozen. There is income from selling and people picking. There are friendly interactions to be had both by customers coming as well as farmer's market customers.
I had a nice conversation with one of the pick your own folks as we picked which lead to a discussion of faith which lead to me sharing one of my little hand outs which lists some resources that I am sharing. I hope to post it on the blog.
I also had an interesting conversation with Meg and Jim who have been at Plow Creek as novice members for twelve years. Working while getting to know someone and the community is a very useful enterprise. Getting to eat blueberries at the same time multiplies the experience's pleasure exponentially.
I admit that by the time I was done picking my own berries, I was getting a bit tired of blueberries. But after about five hour's break, and being chilled, they taste scrumptious.
Ah, the simple pleasures of country life. What a blessing to be out here in these peaceful surroundings.


text: HRM Canada's HOT LIST of 2014 HOT LIST of 2014 Who's moving and shaking Canadian HR? We're showcasing this country's high achievers as the industry faces growing challenges and success In 2014, HR directors have undeniably come into their own as integral members of executive leadership teams. Their contributions steer strategic development and decision-making across the corporate structure, with increasing impact on P&L, share prices, M&A and investment. In short, the role of HR director 2014 is remarkably different from the role of HR director 1994 or even HR director 2004. The changes haven't come without challenges. "For 10 years now, we have witnessed a polarization of the human resources function," says Francine Tremblay, associate partner, Performance, Reward and Talent at Aon Hewitt. "At one end of the spectrum, we can see that the long-awaited strategic shift is here to stay. Changes in technology have indeed made it easier to access strategic data that have allowed CEOs and CFOs to get a better grasp of the risks involved in talent management." Also, the function has become structured in such a way as to strengthen its support of policy-makers and people managers, she adds. but here's the rub.: "At the other end of the spectrum, we notice that these same changes have helped create a distance between the (HR) function itself and employees," says Tremblay. "The computerization of administrative components and an online access to program information have, in fact, greatly reduced interpersonal relationships and human interaction. The challenge will be to re-humanize its relations with employees." This list of "hot" HR professionals showcases those who are successfully walking today's line -- both connecting with CFOs but also the workers affected by those financial decisions. These hot corporate leaders have spearheaded innovative results, embraced diversity, driven down costs while upping productivity, or navigated difficult change. Some have been recognized with accolades; others have not. All are delivering more.

Today was tasty brunch with Sharon, Charles, Matt, Ally, Mark, and Leah. We made scrambled eggs and omelets and hard-boiled eggs and bacon and french toast and bacon/cucumber sandwiches. And mimosas. Lots and lots of mimosas. Two bottles of champagne and two cartons of orange juice worth of mimosas. Om nom nom nom.
Photos have been uploaded to photos 2 as part of the huge random batch (and the random photos from portraits have also been moved into photos2).
Here's a bunch of photos of Ally's reaction to the Gay Bar music video (NSFW).
Does anyone else remember her awesome quotes? I can't recall any.

First off, I'm loving these hair accessories I made out of Matilda Jane garment bags! Each piece of clothing comes in a cute mesh bag, so I figured I'd try my hand at putting them to good use-
I currently have 10 different styles on a variety of hair clips and stretchy headbands. My model prefers the headbands-

I also make custom sashes for parties, showers, graduations, and Thursdays.
This is my seester who will soon be "Mrs. Clark"in the sash I made for her Bachelorette Weekend.
If you have any hair accessory, or sofa accessory, or mantel accessory needs, or perhaps you need monogrammed notecards, or a houndstooth clip for your lapel, then I'm your gal. Feel free to browse my shop & happy Friday!

VATIC ALERT: Suicided Insider: U.S. Ambassador Killing an Inside Job!
Posted by Vatic Master
September 18, 2012
Thanks to D.
This is it folks, this is a must read and listen and ACTION, or we end up getting what we ask for if we do not ACT on this info. This man DIED TRYING TO GET THIS INFO TO US. Please lets not have his death in vain. Read, watch and ACT. He gives us the true skinny on Romney. Wolfowitz will be in his administration, and he is a big fat neocon who has orchestrated all of this to date. No Romney, write in Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. If we do not, then the battle becomes much tougher. No Israeli voting machines either. Oh, and a call out to the British people….. stop your armada heading toward the gulf, its guaranteed we in Europe and in the USA will be nuked by Israel and blamed on the Iranians. Time we turned our naval fleets around and headed for Israel to remove all the dispora Jews and palestinians, then blow the hell out of the khazars. I am sick of them. Remember the IRan President is one of them, so ARE THE US SHIPS BEING SET UP FOR TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND THE FULL CONTINGENCY OF MARINES ON THOSE SHIPS DESTINED TO DIE BY THE HAND OF TREASON???? WE WILL FIND OUT SHORTLY.
Vatic Note: Oh, my Gawd, No wonder they suicided him. The Doctor is Jewish and he is exposing the true underbelly of all of this. It fills in all the gaps. Alex just interrupted him in the middle of his expose of all of this. That interruption of his explanation may well have cost the man his life, since he did not finish what he wanted to say. Now we won't get the balance of what he was saying. He never mentioned that the saudi family is also Jewish, or Khazar, nor did he get a chance to explain the role of Britain in all of this as well. Britain in NOT our ally, just like Israel is NOT OUR ALLY either. Both have manipulated us into destruction as JFK warned us before he was killed. Your going to have to listen to this several times to catch all that he was saying. Notice he said that a separate intel agency was set up internationally which then was under control of the globalists. He didn't use that word, but it means the same thing…… listen for it and stop the audio and go back and replay it…. its what we have been saying for a while now. THE CIA DOES NOT WORK FOR THE USA, RATHER BRITAIN AND ISRAEL. OR ROTHSCHILD BANKERS. ALL OF THE BANKERS must go as well.
Ahhh, this is the reason the neocons sabotaged Jimmy Carter….. I always wondered what happened, listen to his explanation. Jimmy Carter was in the end, a hero and paid the price for it. He says that Netanyahu will be the new Hitler setting Israeli up for another holocaust in order to get the US into another World War III. Now, Remember, VAtic Project proved on this blog that Netanyahu and his neocons are NOT DISPORA JEWS…. THEY ARE KHAZARS. And they have no love for the real Jews, so they use them as a front for their satanic agendas that will result in global armageddon with Khazars left standing and the globe destroyed, and that is why these animals set up the seed bankand underground facilities and all of this he says will happen in October or there abouts.
This is serious and we need to call our reps and tell them NO WAR, STAY AWAY FROM IT, LET THE BRITISH DO THIS ON THEIR OWN…. ITS WHY THEY SET UP THE KHAZAR SAUDI ROYALTY BACK IN 1920′S AFTER WW I to garner control over the oil in the region and why they created Israel as the vehicle for garnering control for them in the middle east, all of this has been a set up to bring down the US and turn all our natural resources, land, wealth, and people back to the British to control. Tell our reps, get rid of Israel out of our country, out of our white house and out of the Pentagon and intel and homeland security. Demand it now, not later, NOW…. or we will experience something never before experienced in this country, the deaths of millions of our people, your relatives, children, and friends, co-workers, right before our very eyes. Remember, israel stole those Russian Nukes when the Berlin wall fell, so you know they will nuke us and blame it on the Muslims.
This has got to stop. AND ONLY WE CAN DO IT…. NO ONE ELSE. CALL YOUR SENATORS, REPS, WHITE HOUSE ETC. PROMISE THEM WE WILL "NOT" fight and die for ISRAEL. Call the Pentagon and tell them to hang in there with Petraes and not fight this war…… no one sign up or go to war that is bogus. Trust me, the reps will hear the anger and commitment in your voice to not support anything for Israel until she goes back home and behaves herself or leaves the planet. THIS IS IT AND ITS UP TO US, ONLY WE CAN STOP THIS WITH MASSIVE CALLS TO WASHINGTON, SO START TODAY AND DON'T GIVE UP, PASS THIS ALONG AND HAVE OTHERS CALL AS WELL. THANKS LIFE FORCE FOR SENDING THIS.

Today on twitter someone asked me which virtual classroom (VC) I used and I had a list for him/her as I use several. I even confessed that I truly haven't decided on a favorite as they all have their pros and cons based on the students and platform that I am using. At LANCELOT School, we try to familiarize the trainees with at least five virtual classroom solutions so that when faced with a client they can choose the one that is the most appropriate for their needs or if they go into a client's VC they can usually adapt to the new solution quite quickly. Here is a list of the ones that I use:
Free VCs I use:
Adobe Connect Now
This is free for three people. Screensharing is great. Annotation tools can be used with screensharing (the only room). All cameras can be seen at the same time.
Digital Samba
This is free for three people. All cameras can be used at the same time. One of the few VCs that allows word documents to be uploaded.
This is free for up to 20 people. Only the host can share the web camera. Web touring and Screen sharing is really quite good. One drawback is that you can't upload jpegs.
This is free for three people. This is the best for low-bandwidth. Has web-touring, clock, and break-out rooms, which is awesome. The whiteboard tools are also really great. I especially like the ability to use the clock, which no other VC has. All three cameras can be seen at the same time and up to six cameras can be used with the professional version.
This is free for up to three people. All cameras can be seen at the same time. One of the few that allows word documents to be uploaded. As far as I know the only VC with a mindmap tool, which is really cool. Like most flash-based systems, it is best with high band-width.
This is free for two people. Good for low-bandwidth, web touring, wonderful whiteboard tools, remote control, only one camera can be seen at a time.
Paid VCs I use:
Adobe Connect Pro
One of the more expensive VCs on the market and I jump at the chance to use it. Like most flash based solutions it is best for high bandwidth. It has polls, breakout rooms, whiteboarding, screensharing, filesharing and all participants can be seen on camera if everyone has one.
Instant Presenter
I have found this VC to be the easiest for people with low technical skills to enter and to navigate. Six people can be on the camera and VOIP at the same time. Screensharing, polls and whiteboarding are quite easy to use. It is a very basic VC, but quite good.

The 'Star Trek Beyond' Trailer Has Leaked (VIDEO)
The trailer for Star Trek Beyond was set to debut in front of Star Wars: The Force Awakens this week. However, the trailer leaked, so Paramount Pictures is getting out in front of this by releasing the trailer themselves, in high quality. Of course, whether or not that's a good thing depends largely on whether you like your Star Trek moves to be more analytical and thought-provoking, or if you'd rather have an over-the-top action spectacle.
From producer JJ Abrams and Fast and Furious franchise director Justin Lin, Star Trek Beyond looks to be way more of a traditional action movie than either of the other two installments in the new Star Trek film canon; and for many, that's going to be a disappointment. This trailer is set entirely to "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys, and features more comedy in 90 seconds than most of the past two movies put together. And yet, there IS an exhilarating sense of adventure here that shouldn't be overlooked. If Star Trek is about exploration and discovering strange new worlds, then having our heroes marooned on an alien planet rife with danger sounds like as good a choice as any for the plot. Ultimately, this could be a fun movie or it could be a hot mess, but right now, it's looking like it'll at least be a big spectacle. And if you're gonna do a movie like this, you might as well go big. Watch the full trailer video below:

wowscreenshotaday - Days 23-25
I've been slacking a bit on these screenshots. I've been a bit obsessed with leveling my hunter. She was at level 85 and so close. I just knew I could get her a thunderwolf if I kept pushing. So it's time I played catchup with the screenshots again. I was messing around on my baby priest so all screenshots are heavily influenced by Serna, my shadowcow... will someday be a shadowcow.

(Adds details)
TORONTO, Dec 19 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index gained ground early on Wednesday as bargain-hunting investors snapped up a mixed bag of recently depressed stocks, and oil prices lifted energy shares.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 121.70 points, or 0.9 percent, at 13,479.77, with the heavyweight oil and gas sector leading the upside.
U.S. crude oil gained some momentum on futures markets, rising above $90 a barrel ahead of weekly U.S. inventory data.
Suncor Energy (SU.TO) led the way on the TSX — up C$1.75 at C$105.20 — despite an order from the Alberta provincial government directing the oil sands developer to cut emissions of deadly hydrogen sulfide at its oil sands operations.
Precision Drilling Trust PD_u.TO rose 18 Canadian cents to C$15.68 after the company said it aimed to quicken its pace of growth next year by focusing capital spending on the construction of "super" series land drilling rigs.

David Beckham
Brand & Talent Partnership
The Brief
After Belstaff's acquisition by Swiss luxury conglomerate Labelux and consequent market repositioning, the brand approached ITB again to build on the successful partnership with Ewan McGregor. ITB was to cast and secure a name that would resonate globally, an authoritative voice in fashion for collaborative purposes and somebody who would be able to identify with the core values of the brand: motoring and British heritage.
Casting, Negotiating and Securing
ITB cast and delivered David Beckham in response to Belstaff's very specific brief. Our expert knowledge and careful consultation allowed us to successfully navigate the brand's criteria in order to deliver a high profile talent and ultimately create a meaningful and relevant endorsement.
Partnership Management
ITB were responsible for handling every aspect of the process behind the partnership; including research, casting, approach, execution and negotiation of the contract. Management of all contractual obligations such as design commitments, press and marketing activities, events and campaign shoots were also handled by ITB. This complete approach allowed us to deliver a seamless service to Belstaff.
Product Extension
As well as acting as the face of the Belstaff brand for two seasons, ITB arranged for Beckham to design a capsule collection of leather jackets to be sold and distributed globally, garnering international press and maximising impact from the partnership.

Tied to Trouble (Gamers #3), by Megan Erickson
Publish Date: January 4, 2016
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Format: e-book, purchased
Genre: adult m/m contemporary romance
To Buy: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Rating: 5 STARS
(Synopsis) Chad Lake only showed up at his sister's party for the free food, but when he spots an uptight nerd at the edge of the crowd, he can't resist trying to ruffle the guy's perfect bow tie and impeccable hair. The hottie's ready for him, though, and in the end, it's Chad who's left wide-eyed, his ears still ringing with the filthy things Bow Tie whispered in his ear. No one gets the upper hand on Chad. Ever.
Owen Hawkins has heard all about the cocky Adonis from Chad's sister—the same sister who holds Owen's career advancement in her hands. He has every intention of steering clear of the other man…until Chad's sexy taunts push him too far. There's something intriguing about Chad, and even though Owen knows that getting tangled up with the infuriating man is trouble, he can't seem to stay away…
I love it when snarky guys meet their match, and no guy is snarkier than Chad Lake. The best part of Tied to Trouble is, the man who takes him down is the one that Chad never ever saw coming.
Chad is the proverbial free spirit. He flits from job to job, town to town, never content in one place, doing one thing for very long. It's a double-edged sword for him, though. Although he doesn't like commitment - to anything - he's starting to feel a little lost. Like, maybe it's time to put an effort into adulting for a change.
Owen is about as different from Chad as one person can get. He's buttoned up, organized, and driven. He's smart and good at his job. The only thing he and Chad have in common is Chad's sister, who also happens to be Owen's boss. Who knew that when these two got together they would be so crazy awesome?!
To start with, Owen is not as straight-laced as you think. Holy crap, but does that boy have a dirty mouth on him. And, he's very good at being in charge in the bedroom. Chad goes with the flow, and he finds that, when he lets go and stops worrying about what his next move is going to be, he's more free than he's ever been before. Especially with Owen.
Megan Erickson has really found her stride. She is so good at writing m/m with feels. Although Tied to Trouble is a lot lighter than her other m/m stuff, my heartstrings still were pulled a lot. I could really feel Chad's frustration over his lack of direction and Owen's feelings of inadequacy and social ineptitude. Both guys certainly had their hangups to work through.
But, what I loved the most is how little those hangups meant when they were together. Owen's lack of confidence was nowhere in sight and Chad knew exactly where he wanted to be. It was only when the passion cooled and they both started overthinking that things got messy and I wanted to yell at them both to stop being idiots.
Tied to Trouble went by way too fast, but that's only a sign of how much I was drawn into the book, and not a testament to weak pacing. I couldn't put it down, and I finished it in one day. I know that brooding and complicated Ethan's book is next in this series, and I'm hoping to catch glimpses of Chad and Owen in it. Their playful banter is a balm to the serious stuff and serves as a good buffer between the extreme feels and the hot sex.
Every book in the Gamers series has been a really fun read. All the nerdy goodness, together with awesome characters, makes me want to keep reading well past my bedtime.

Left - Essie 'A Cut Above' Right - Essie 'Stroke of Brilliance'
These are my picks of the Essie Luxe nail polish collection. It's the time of year when all I want to do is paint my nails with glittery nail polish, drink hot chocolate and listen to Michael bublé's Christmas album. I was also tempted to get 'Set in Stone' which is a very pretty silver chunky essie glitter polish but I settled on getting these two as I don't own anything else similar.
Essie A Cut Above is a pretty pink nail polish with various sized chunky glitter, it looks great worn layered on its own, or over a mauve/grey colour.
Essie Stroke of Brilliance is a Frosty blue chunky glitter and perfect as an accent nail over navy nail varnish.
These don't disappoint and both look great over another colour, as an accent nail or layered on their own, the only downside is they are so hard to get off!
Which is your favourite?

But there is nothing that gives me more delight than observing that around me and learning everything I can about it.
Also, I was tired of feeling so sick and having nothing to do!
So, what do we have here?
The top left is a photo of African waxbills: the black-faced and the blue. I especially like the blue ones, as they seem very common here, almost as common as the Robin back home.
Some of you may have recalled my dismay at seeing so many robins when I arrived in Alaska. I'd give anything to see a robin here... (We do have robins in South Africa, just not the American one.)
My bird photos are likely to not ever be great as, as birds will, birds tend to not come close and my camera, although good, is not quite good for shooting small birds that are in constant motion. And I don't know enough about editing to make them any larger.
But I love watching the birds here, as they are so new to me. I have a large window in my room that sits over my writing table so that I can watch them from--and have a pair of binoculars that my good friend Ellen gave me. (Actually, I believe it was a joint gift for Deanna and I, and Deanna has graciously allowed me to bring them.)
I was not much of a birder in the states: there are too many trees and therefore, many places for them to hide. While I loved watching the birds at the feeder, I was want to look for them anywhere else. It's fun to have my hobby grow a bit.
The photo on the top right is of a lovely, lovely African wildflower that grows abundantly here. It's name is not African, however: the White Mexican poppy (Argemone ochroleuca). As the name suggests, it is not native, and rather an invasive species from, you guessed it, Mexico. It grows everywhere .The farmers all laugh at me when I stop to stare at it. I just love it! Such a delicate little blossom nestled in such a prickly mess!
The photo here, on the right, is Arrow-leaved arum (Zantedeschia albomaculata). When I saw these (these were actually growing at a resort hotel in Rustenburg) I thought: "Oh look! Calla lilies!" And then I thought of how happy both Deanna and my mom would be at seeing them.
Blogger isn't letting me upload another photo, so I'll try again later.
Signing off, karen

The testing and release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)—in particular GM plants—is tightly regulated internationally to prevent any negative effects on the environment or human health. However, these regulations are based on transgenic organisms and do not discriminate between transgenic plants and cisgenic plants, although we believe that they are fundamentally different (see sidebarNow, cisgenic plants fall under regulations designed for transgenic organisms, possibly because there have not yet been any applications for the approval of the deliberate release of cisgenic plants into the environment.
Definitions of key terms in relation to plants
Cisgenesis is the genetic modification of a recipient plant with a natural gene from a crossable—sexually compatible—plant. Such a gene includes its introns and is flanked by its native promoter and terminator in the normalsense orientation.Cisgenic plants can harbour one or more cisgenes, but they do not contain any transgenes.
Transgenesis is the genetic modification of a recipient plant with one or more genes from any non‐plant organism, or from a donor plant that is sexually incompatible with the recipient plant. This includes gene sequences of any origin in the anti‐sense orientation, any artificial combination of a coding sequence and a regulatory sequence, such as a promoter from another gene, or a synthetic gene.
Traditional breeding encompasses all plant breeding methods that do not fall under current GMO regulations.As the European legal framework defines GMOs and specifies various breeding techniques that are excluded from the GMO regulations,we use this framework as a starting point, particularly the European Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release of GMOs into the environment (European Parliament, 2001). Excluded from this GMO Directive are longstanding cross breeding, in vitro fertilization, polyploidy induction,mutagenesis and fusion of protoplasts from sexually compatible plants (European Parliament, 2001).
Although transgenesis and cisgenesis both use the same genetic modification techniques—namely the introduction of one or more genes and their promoters into a plant—cisgenesis involves only genes from the plant itself or from a close relative, and these genes could also be transferred by traditional breeding techniques. If the current international GMO regulations, which are mainly based on the process of transferring transgenes, continue to fail to differentiate between cisgenic and transgenic plants, the use of cisgenesis could be seriously hindered. Only Canada now has a product‐based rather than a process‐based regulation system, and therefore has the legal possibility to control cisgenic plants less strictly than transgenic plants. Any restrictions on cisgenesis could block or delay further research on improving crop varieties, particularly as an increasing number of functional genes from crops and their crossable wild relatives are being isolated and are becoming amenable to cisgenesis. We argue that cisgenic plants are fundamentally different from transgenic plants, and should therefore be treated differently under GMO regulations.
If the current international GMO regulations … continue to fail to differentiate between cisgenic and transgenic plants, the use of cisgenesis could be seriously hindered
In the case of transgenesis, the transferred gene usually derives from an alien species that is neither the recipient species nor a close, sexually compatible relative. In other words, transgenesis can extend the gene pool of the recipient species. Such a novel gene might provide the target plant with a new trait that neither occurs in the recipient species in nature nor can be introduced through traditional breeding. This novel trait might affect the fitness of the recipient species in various ways; a change in fitness can then spread through gene flow between a GM crop and its wild relatives (den Nijs et al, 2004), potentially creating shifts in natural vegetation. Consequently, lawmakers and regulatory authorities have paid much attention to the safety of deliberate releases of transgenic crops into the environment and have put in place biosafety frameworks to control this risk.
In the case of a cisgenic plant, the gene of interest, together with its promoter, has been present in the species or in a sexually compatible relative for centuries. Therefore cisgenesis does not alter the gene pool of the recipient species and provides no additional traits. No changes in fitness occur that would not happen through either traditional breeding or natural gene flow. Similarly, cisgenesis carries no risks—such as effects on non‐target organisms or soil ecosystems, toxicity or a possible allergy risk for GM food or feed—other than those that are also incurred by traditional breeding. This is the fundamental difference between cisgenesis and transgenesis. Consequently, the deliberate release and market introduction of cisgenic plants is as safe as the release and market introduction of traditionally bred plants. On the issue of safety, regulators could treat cisgenic plants the same as conventionally bred plants (Schouten et al, 2006).
On the issue of safety, regulators could treat cisgenic plants the same as conventionally bred plants
Indeed, cisgenesis has great potential to overcome a major bottleneck in traditional breeding. During introgression breeding, a wild plant with an interesting trait is crossed with a high‐quality genotype, such as a cultivar. The wild plant, however, passes on not only its genes of interest to the progeny, but also other, sometimes deleterious, genes. This so‐called linkage drag can slow down the breeding process tremendously, especially if the gene of interest is genetically tightly linked to one or more deleterious genes. To reduce linkage drag, plant breeders usually need successive generations of recurrent backcrossing with the cultivated plant and simultaneous selection for the trait to generate a genotype in which the gene of interest is no longer linked to any undesired genes. By contrast, cisgenesis isolates only the gene of interest from the donor plant, which is then inserted into the recipient in one step. As no other genes are transferred, this method avoids linkage drag. This can enhance the breeding speed, particularly if several genes from different relatives must be combined into an elite variety, for example to obtain durable multigenic resistance. This is the main advantage of cisgenesis compared with traditional introgression breeding.
Cisgenesis is a particularly efficient method for cross‐fertilizing heterozygous plants that propagate vegetatively, such as potato, apple and banana. It can directly improve an existing variety without disturbing the genetic make‐up of the plant. Traditional introgression breeding of cross‐fertilizing plants does not allow the introduction of genes from wild germplasm without mixing up the combination of alleles in the existing heterozygous elite recipient genotype.
One example is the introduction of the apple scab resistance gene Vf from a wild into a cultivated apple, which began as early as the 1950s (Hough et al, 1953; Schmidt & van de Weg, 2005). Despite more than 50 years of traditional breeding programmes, the new apple varieties carrying this gene have yet to acquire the same fruit quality in terms of taste and texture as the susceptible top varieties, because of linkage drag. As the Vf gene has recently been cloned (Belfanti et al, 2004), its transfer into elite varieties using cisgenesis could lead to better results in a considerably shorter time.
Similarly, breeding programmes aimed at rendering potatoes with durable resistance to the potato‐late‐blight‐causing oomycete Phytophthora infestans require a series of genes from resistant wild species such as Solanum demissum and S. bulbocastanum. Introgression breeding with the new donor S. bulbocastanum began in the early 1970s, but has had only limited success because of linkage drag. In the meantime several natural resistance genes have been isolated from this donor and from S. demissum (Huang et al, 2005; van der Vossen et al, 2005), which would enable breeders to use cisgenesis to render existing susceptible elite potato varieties resistant by stacking cloned resistance genes.
The prerequisite for cisgenesis is the isolation and characterization of genes of interest from crossable relatives. The rapidly increasing amount of DNA sequence information for individual genes, multigene families and whole plant genomes, combined with our increasing knowledge of gene functions, has enabled a directed search for beneficial alleles among cultivated plants and their wild relatives. In the past decade, a large number of natural genes from crops and their wild relatives have been isolated, many of which code for important traits such as disease resistance and quality. Many of these genes are now sufficiently characterized and are ready to be transferred into elite crops.
However, whether this technique will develop into a powerful new tool strongly depends on several factors: how cisgenic plants are treated by existing legal frameworks (Bradford et al, 2005); consumer acceptance of such products; whether these plants and any products derived from them must be labelled as GM; and intellectual property rights on GM technologies and genes. Although intellectual property and consumer acceptance are largely beyond the control of lawmakers and regulators, it would be sensible to regulate cisgenic plants differently to transgenic plants.
Self‐evidently, cisgenic plants should still be tested to confirm that they contain only the intended modifications and no foreign genes, such as a backbone gene from a plasmid. If such a foreign gene is unintentionally introduced, the plant is, by definition, transgenic.
Self‐evidently, cisgenic plants should still be tested to confirm that they contain only the intended modifications and no foreign genes…
With regard to the species' gene pool, cisgenesis is equivalent to traditional breeding. However, there are differences, as recombinant DNA technology is certainly not the same as meiotic recombination. First, the donor sequence is inserted into the genome at an a priori unknown position, which might affect DNA methylation and other factors that in turn can influence gene expression. A biological counterargument is that translocations and (de)methylations also occur in nature. Lai et al (2005) showed that Helitron transposons in maize capture a 5.9 kilobase‐long DNA fragment containing three genes and move it to another part of the maize genome. This is a natural process without any human intervention. In addition, a regulatory counterargument is the fact that traditional breeding also causes translocations of DNA fragments to previously unknown positions (Lin et al, 1999; Li et al, 2005). These might comprise large fragments, containing hundreds of genes. The fact that the location of the inserted gene is random is not a fundamental difference between cisgenesis and traditional breeding.
Second, the insertion of a cisgene results in a mutation at the insertion site. Moreover, rearrangements or translocations might occur in the flanking regions (Forsbach et al, 2003; Tax & Vernon, 2001). These mutations might knock out genes, open new reading frames and thereby induce phenotypic effects. But natural mutations and rearrangements in plant genomes are common, especially in chromosome regions where transposons are active. Unintended genome reorganization can also be induced by pathogen attack, abiotic stress and interspecies hybridization (Madlung & Comai, 2004). A regulatory counterargument is that, in Europe, mutation breeding is now exempt from the regulations on the release of GMOs into the environment (European Parliament, 2001). Usually, mutagenesis is achieved either by radiation or chemicals, both of which lead to random mutations and translocations. In general, mutagenesis causes larger changes at the DNA level compared with the changes that occur at the integration site of a cisgene or transgene (Shirley et al, 1992; Cecchini et al, 1998).
However, in the case of mutation breeding, current regulations do not require molecular characterization of all mutations in a plant before market introduction, and the nature and number of the mutations introduced are usually unknown. In the past 70 years, mutation breeding has led to more than 2,250 plant varieties, derived either as direct mutants or from their progenies (Ahloowalia et al, 2004). Although these mutation‐derived plant varieties have been produced and used for food, feed or as ornamentals in more than 30 countries for several decades (Ahloowalia et al, 2004), we are not aware of any indications that the underlying mutations have caused damage to the environment, or had adverse effects on human or animal health (van Harten, 1998). This is circumstantial evidence that the phenotypic screening and selection process—the rule in plant breeding programmes—in combination with other conventional selection procedures before the introduction of new varieties onto the market, have been sufficient to reduce the risk of unknown mutations to an acceptably low level. For the development of cisgenic varieties, similar phenotypic screening and selection will be the rule. We can thus infer that cisgenesis and mutation breeding do not differ fundamentally with regard to unintended mutations.
Third, the donor sequence does not replace an allelic sequence, but is added to the recipient species' genome. Owing to the process of gene transfer, it is possible that the new sequence is inserted several times in one genome, which might affect gene expression and, therefore, phenotype. However, gene duplication is a common natural occurrence, for instance in the case of resistance genes or other multigene families (Bergelson et al, 2001). In fact, duplication is an integral part of the evolution of gene families. Furthermore, neither the increase of the ploidy level—a genome‐wide DNA duplication that might affect the expression of numerous genes—nor the use of monosomic additions, are now considered in any GMO regulation (European Parliament, 2001), but have been applied for decades in plant breeding. The fact that the transferred cisgene is added to the recipient's genome is not fundamentally different from natural processes or traditional breeding techniques.
Fourth, the cisgenic plant might contain some small, non‐coding sequences from the vector such as T‐DNA borders, which are 25‐base‐pair imperfect repeats that delimit the DNA segment transferred to plant cells when using Agrobacterium‐mediated gene transfer. Other non‐coding sequences from the vector might be parts of a multiple cloning site or remnants from recombination sites that were used to excise undesired DNA sequences, such as a selection gene, after the DNA transfer (Schaart et al, 2004). However, these short DNA sequences are by nature non‐coding and are unlikely to have a phenotypic effect. Moreover, some researchers have identified several DNA sequences within plants that are in essence identical to and can be used to functionally replace short vector sequences, such as T‐DNA borders (Rommens et al, 2004; Conner et al, 2006). Consequently, the gene transfer process would introduce no alien DNA, not even non‐coding foreign DNA. However, we believe that this is merely a semantic adaptation, rather than a means of controlling risk.
By definition, cisgenesis is a form of genetic modification, as it transfers a gene and its promoter to a recipient species. However, the product is clearly different from transgenic plants, which are derived by transferring 'foreign' or artificial genes, or artificial combinations of genes and promoters. Cisgenesis therefore respects species barriers, and in this sense differs fundamentally from transgenesis. We argue that, for this reason, cisgenic plants are similar to traditionally bred plants, because the transferred genes come from the same gene pool. Consequently, cisgenic plants are as safe as traditionally bred plants.
Cisgenesis therefore respects species barriers, and in this sense differs fundamentally from transgenesis
Although the European legislative framework on GMOs regards mutagenesis and the fusion of cells from sexually compatible plants as methods of genetic modification, the resulting GM plants are excluded from that framework by the GMO Directive (European Parliament, 2001). Considering that the products of cisgenesis are more similar to plants derived by mutagenesis or traditional breeding methods, cisgenesis should also be excluded from GMO frameworks (Fig 1) and regulated in the same way as traditional breeding. Given the great potential that cisgenesis has to speed up the breeding process in plants, in particular to obtain durable multigenic resistance, such a decision would greatly enhance the economic and environmental prospects of agriculture.
This study was financially supported by TransForum, initiated and partly funded by the Dutch government to contribute to a more sustainable and innovative knowledge infrastructure in agriculture.

Chara takes aim at Hardest Shot immortalityby Phil Coffey
The NHL Goaltenders union has a point. Watching an array of All-Stars crank away to see how has the hardest shot gives you an appreciation of how tough -- and daft! -- their jobs are.
Since the net is mercifully empty for this competition, perhaps Barcoloungers and umbrella drinks should be served to the masked men as they watch the goings-on.
This time around, Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will be looking for his third straight win after cranking out shots of 103.1 mph in 2008 and 100.4 in 2007.
"It does (feel good to defend the title) because there is a lot of pressure and guys really want to win that event," Chara said after winning in Atlanta. "It's probably one of the most exciting events at the All-Star (festivities). So, yeah, it's good."
Chara didn't have an easy time last season. His first blast didn't register on the radar, and Tampa Bay's Vinny Lecavalier was hawking his every shot with some prodigious drives of his own, including a 101.9 mph blast that led the competition for quite a spell.
After Chara registered 101.4 on his first shot, a full mile-per-hour faster than his winning blast the previous year in Dallas, Lecavalier figured his 101.9 wasn't going to stand.
"After his first shot he got 101.4, so I said I know his next shot is going to be harder," Lecavalier said. "It doesn't matter. We're on the same team and we won the event."
Chara is the League's largest player ever at 6-foot-9 and 250 pounds, and he put every last inch and pound into his second blast, thanks to a fast stride and his explosive legs. The key, though, was keeping the shot close to the ice.
"The first one didn't feel really good. I went too high, but the meter didn't give us any measurement and I got another two," Chara said. "I knew I had to go a little lower and use more of my body. You can't go really high. You have to keep it probably as low as 10 inches off the ice."
Chara, though, still hasn't come close to topping Al Iafrate's mind-blowing 105.2 mph slapper that he ripped at the 1993 Skills Competition at The Forum in Montreal. Chara isn't sure if he'll ever top that one.
"I would like to, but I don't know if it will ever be broken," Chara said. "Back then they skated into the shot all the way from the red line. We have to start at the blue line. It would be nice to get it done, but it will be very hard to do it."

I found these at SEARS of all places! I never shop there! It always seems like such a run down bland store to me (they're due for a branding overhaul, no?) but I had to walk through it to get to the rest of the mall. I happened to glance down as I passed the shoe department and these caught my eye.
They're by a brand called Marc Fisher and most of their heels are approx. $90-130CDN. These babies are the "Maddison" and retailed $109.99 but I got them for $54.99 and no tax. A quick calculation...$54.99 = S x 1.13 >> $54.99 / 1.13 = S >> S = $48.66!!
Conclusion? I got these babies for less than $50!!
Peep toe, slight platform, charcoal tweed, patent leather and under $50 befoe tax??.....sounds like shoe-heaven to me!
So. Enough about me. What did you buy this weekend?

Kindle Edition, 213 pages

I had big dreams of how I wanted my life. Becoming a rock star was all I wanted. It would solve so many of my problems. With the money that I would make I was going to take care of my mom, get her out of the hell hole we had been living in all my life. Having your dreams come true isn't something that many people get to accomplish in life. I did, and I loved it.
For about a minute…
It's funny how when you think you have everything you could possible every want, your dreams change. Mine did without my even realizing it. Then I opened my eyes and saw that everything I ever wanted was standing in front of me.
From the first day I set eyes on Emmie she became a part of me. The guys and I spent years watching over her, caring for her… Loving her. Then without my realizing it my love for her changed. I found myself aching for her, wanting her in a way that a guy like me had no right to want her. My love and need for Emmie became an all-consuming ache that I was helpless to fight against.
Would she ever open those big green eyes and see me as anything but a friend?
Mature Content! Not Suitable For Readers Under 17
It shows some of the things we missed in Book #1 with seeing more of Emmie's side of the relationship. We see more of Nik's struggle with the attraction he has to Emmie from the age of 17 through to now. Nik struggling to not give in to the feelings of attraction to her because it could ruin their friendship and she only seeing him as a big brother and protector. We also see Emmie struggling with the same issues. Her being attracted to Nik in a way that is different from everyone else. Emmie being afraid to act of those feelings because she could lose Nik forever. And she could lose everyone she loves with him if it goes really wrong.
If you read the 1st book in the series you will know that Emmie is pregnant with Nik's baby. Even though Nik had no idea they had sex. Nik thought he was dreaming when he made love to Emmie 2 months ago. Nik has been dreaming of this over and over again. He has stopped sleeping with other woman and just dreamed of making love to Emmie. Nik had no idea that the one night he was wasted and the dream was so vivid that it was reality and not a dream. Emmie feels as though she RAPED Nik and feels ashamed, embarrassed and a little humiliated. She has to tell him the truth that he is the father of her baby. That she took advantage of him. All Nik can see is rage as he hears that his beautiful Emmie is pregnant. Nik is about to rip someone apart for touching his Emmie.
Emmie tells him the truth that the baby is his and he has to take a step back. He knows exactly which night she is talking about. He can not believe that it was real. Now with having to face the music Nik & Emmie set out to figure out their relationship. With this new added information they must come clean with their feelings for one another and open their hearts to possibilities of a future together.
They are part of each others lives since the beginning of time and now with a baby in the picture they will always be there for one another. They just have to figure out if they are just friends or something more.
Book #5 then follows their relationship through to the arrival of Layla, Lana & Lucy, Baby Mia is born, Jessie & Layla fall for each other, Lana crushes on Drake, Drake marries Lana, Jessie marries Layla and now it is Nik & Emmie's turn down the aisle. Do they make it down the aisle is the question you have after Book #4. They leave it with them engaged. So you anticipate this moment & hope to see the wedding.
Another good story. I thought I might get bored knowing most of what happened but I did not get bored at any point. It was still gripping me & making me stay up past my bed time to read on & see what happens next.
Terri Anne Browning's author page announces that she will have more books with characters from the series. There will be a Rocker Babies series following the little ones into adult hood and another one focusing on Axton & hopefully with Dallas which we saw him working towards in Book #4 & struggling with in Book #5.
Rating: 4 Stars
Happy Reading!

Today Stephen Vincent joined us in the studio to talk about his book After Language / Letters to Jack Spicer (Blaze VOX Books, 2011). The book includes letters to Spicer interspersed with poems, which were created when Stephen took Spicer's language and reversed the words. Stephen encountered Spicer's book Language, while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nigeria in the 60s just prior to their civil war. He found Spicer's language 'solid' and he kept this book with him while going through this tumultuous time. He addresses Spicer in the book about also encountering him in Ireland, Scotland and San Francisco. Place plays a prominent role in this work. Stephen critiques Spicer but also speaks to him from a place of love and sadness that Spicer was not able to endure his own life and continue sharing his words with the world.
After the break we talked about Stephen's 'poetry without words,' Haptic art. He finds himself 'pushing my pen around' while listening to poetry or experiencing a place. He is interested in 'how you get inside space.' This art takes the form of singular pieces or accordion folded books (one of which appears in the After Language / Letters to Jack Spicer). As he is in a place, inhabiting it, listening to it, an 'inner solo ' takes over. While we may be channeling outside material when we create art, we also 'bring out own ingredients.' This is 'all about partnering with the world.'

CAS-ual Fridays # 12
First up is a little baby card using a spotted giraffe. I cut the shape by hand, and I can say that I definitely need to go shopping for some new Nestabilities. They look so much neater when cut with dies.
Then I made a Miss You card using the lion. On the inside of the card I printed a computer-generated sentiment that says, " . . . and I'm not LION!"
My 9-year old will be going to a dude ranch for three nights next month with her closest friend's family. She's never been away from me for more than a night with her grandparents or best friend. I'll tuck this little lion card in her suitcase when she goes.
Stamps: PTI sentiments

You've made beautiful cards with these rub-ons Ann and I'd never have known you cut the shape out by hand (easier with a die though!) Your daughter is growing up - I bet you'll really miss her for those 3 days.
