My last post was a little depressing. I think it was more induced by shock than anything else. Seeing my ex out of context completely screwed me over for the rest of that night and into the next morning.
I reached out to him, saying I was sorry for snapping at him and I told him my reasons. Typically he replied, as I knew he would. One thing lead to another and we eventually got into an argument that led us here.
He basically told me that he doesn't want me to be in his life anymore because "he doesn't want to fuck it up more". Man I am so sick of hearing that from him. He just didn't care. And sometimes I wonder, did he ever?
Maybe he really did just act the whole relationship …?
I will never know.
I ended the conversation by telling him, "Well, if you don't want a friendship with me, then don't. I'm not going to throw myself at you. You contact me when you feel ready to have a friendship." I sent that early yesterday afternoon and I haven't heard from him since.
And this is a good thing.
Having him contact me takes the pressure off me. It is his job to contact me. IF he wants a relationship with me he has to put in a hell of a lot of effort. He has to take that leap. I know that it will be a long time before he contacts me again. And as far as I'm concerned, he has done his dash.
One thing that people have to realise about me is that I give and give and give and give. I will fight for you, I will put in 200% for a relationship and if I love you, I will do anything for you. I will fight for you until my heart is shattered on the floor, I will fight for the relationship until I have absolutely nothing left to give. And I will put up with your crap for a very long time. But when you finally push me to the edge, once you break me, I will walk away. And once I do that, no matter how much you cry, beg and plead for me to come back, I will never return. I won't even look back. It might kill me to distance myself from you, I might still care and love you deeply, but once you have broken me to that point my heart puts up its little walls and protects itself.
And that is what he has done. He has broken me.
He has shattered my heart over and over again. He has rejected me over and over. He has made it clear what he wants, and it's not me. I understand now that he is a lire.
And what this argument has taught me is that there is nothing more left for us. There is nothing left for me. There is no more chance, ever.
And that's okay.
I am perfectly okay with that. He isn't worth it anymore. I have come to that conclusion now.
I'm sorry if this post seems a little harsh and bitter, but they are the conclusions I have come to. They are the conclusions that he has lead me to. And I thank him for that. I thank him for his cruel honesty and I thank him for releasing me from the chains I put on myself. I had myself convinced that he would come back to me, as he promised. But his promises are empty and he will always break them.
I believe that this was part of the healing process. It may have been a harsh one and it may have knocked me around at the time, but I feel it has healed me. He came back into my life, even for the brief moment, because there were things left untied … Probably in both our minds.
Now the loose ends are tied, tight and secure.
And I feel free now. I feel relieved and I feel another part of my heart has been healed.
Fate maybe twisted … But it does its job. It shows you the things that belong in your life, and things that don't. And it gives you answers that you may or may not have been looking for.
Yesterday I got my answer.
He does not love me. Never has, never will. He will not come back and he will not be apart of my life for a long time. He lied, pretended and acted.
My path with him is clear. It has ended here.

Why I care about Market-Driven Urbanism
It seems to be generally accepted now that the past several decades of American sprawl has left our downtown cores with gaping voids and inactivity. A combined result of our dependence on the automobile and Euclidean zoning practices, both citizens and governments share the responsibility of the situation we're in.
In the same vein, it will take action by both groups to reverse course and re-energize our city centers.
We have very talented urban designers and city planners among us, but we cannot rely on them to plan and execute the redevelopment of every downtown block, lot, and streetscape. That's why we need to encourage private investment and development with reduced land use restrictions, and allow free-market forces to drive self-sustaining development that's dense, vibrant, and walkable.
I'd like to use this forum to have a dialogue about alternatives to land use segregation, share examples of successes and failures in other communities, and work together to find opportunities in our own community to apply the principles of market-driven urbanism.

Appologies in advance for this one….
Two prawns were swimming around in the sea
One called Justin and the other called Christian
The prawns were constantly being threatened by sharks
Finally one day Justin said to Christian, 'I'm fed up with being a prawn; I
wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn't have any worries about being
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, 'Your wish is granted'
Lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark
Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his
old mate
Time passed and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely
All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought
perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn
He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he
found himself turned back into a prawn
With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn't see his
old pal
'Where's Christian?' he asked
"He's at home."
He set off to Christian's abode
He banged on the door and shouted, 'It's me, Justin, your old friend, come
out and see me again.'
Christian replied, 'No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark, the
enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner.'
Justin cried back 'No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've
'I've found Cod. I'm a Prawn again Christian'

Q: What is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)?
A: An IRA is a flexible yet powerful way to save for retirement. With a traditional IRA, individuals contribute pre-tax dollars to their account. With a Roth IRA, the taxes are paid beforehand.
Q: Who can contribute to an IRA?
A: Anyone with earned income who is under 70½ can open a traditional IRA. Anyone, regardless of age, can open a Roth IRA if they fall within certain income limits. Income limits are subject to change, and contribution limits apply to both traditional and Roth IRAs.
Q: When can investors access their funds?
A: For a traditional IRA, penalty-free distributions can be made as early as age 59½, while minimum required distributions begin at age 70½. For a Roth IRA, penalty-free distributions may also begin at age 59½, as long as the account has been open for at least five years. There is no minimum required distribution with a Roth IRA.
Q: Why are IRAs a good option for charitable giving?
A: Many people don't know that if you name someone other than a spouse as the heir to an IRA, they could receive as little as 1/3 of the account after income and estate taxes. A charitable or educational institution is not subject to those taxes, so if you name your favorite charity as the beneficiary of your IRA, you ensure that the entire account goes to benefit a cause you love.

Sanofi, Merck abandon animal health joint venture2 min read . Updated: 22 Mar 2011, 05:15 PM IST
Sanofi, Merck abandon animal health joint venture
Sanofi, Merck abandon animal health joint venture
Paris/London: Regulatory pressure prompted Sanofi-Aventis and Merck & Co to abandon plans for a joint animal health powerhouse with $5 billion in sales.
The move sets back the French and US drugmakers' plans to achieve economies of scale in consolidating animal care industry, and comes a month after they delayed the long-running deal's closing by another six months.
It is also a blow to companies that had hoped to snap up assets with about $500 million in annual revenue that the pair would have had to sell to clear regulatory hurdles.
Merck and Sanofi said a year ago they planned to combine their veterinary drugs and vaccines businesses to create a joint venture with almost a third of the global market.
The duo were due to merge Sanofi's pet-focused Merial unit, which they once jointly owned, with Merck's bigger, livestock-oriented Intervet business, relegating Pfizer to second place in the animal health industry.
WestLB analyst Oliver Kaemmerer said the decision was an "unpleasant surprise" that would deprive the duo of synergies and a likely boost to earnings.
A person familiar with the matter said US and European regulators had taken an increasingly tough stance, partly because of concerns that previous sell-offs, as in Pfizer's tie-up with Wyeth, had struggled to safeguard competition.
"The companies are discontinuing their agreement primarily because of the increasing complexity of implementing the proposed transaction," the companies said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
This is "both in terms of the nature and extent of the anticipated divestitures and the length of time necessary for the worldwide regulatory review process," they said.
Both companies added that they remained committed to their animal health businesses, which generated annual sales of $2.6 billion for Sanofi and $2.9 billion for Merck & Co in 2010.
Last year Vetnosis, a consultancy, identified portfolio overlaps in vaccines for livestock, poultry, pets and horses; in products to kill parasites; and in specialty veterinary products, such as drugs to treat cardiovascular disorders.
In October 2010, two people familiar with the matter said the disposals could fetch about 1.5 to 2.5 times sales -- or about $750 million to $1.25 billion.
Germany's Bayer AG, unlisted domestic rival Boehringer Ingelheim and Switzerland's Novartis had previously made it through to the second round of bidding for Merck and Sanofi assets being sold as part of the venture, several sources close to the bidders had said.
Eli Lilly and Co, the sixth-biggest US drugmaker by market value, was also preparing a bid, people familiar with the matter said. Last week Lilly's Elanco unit bought Johnson & Johnson's animal health business, a deal that one person familiar with the matter said was worth about $300 million.
Further consolidation could yet come in the sector, where Pfizer is keen to grow and Novartis has not yet reached a critical size, Oddo Securities analyst Jean-Jacques Le Fur said. "This leaves open the field of possibilities," he said.
Shares in Sanofi were 0.1% lower at 47.94 euros at 1051 GMT, while the French blue-chip CAC 40 index was up 0.2%.
Morgan Stanley advised on the disposals, people familiar with the matter have said. A quartet of law firms -- Linklaters; Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton; Howrey; and Weil, Gotshal & Manges provided legal advice, the first person familiar with the matter said.

I have been hankering after some coloured pumps and frustrated by not finding what I wanted in the shops, I had a look on ebay and found these beauties...
They are made by Hobbs NW3 range, worn just a couple of times, in their original box with dust bag and tissue paper. They're leather lined, leather soled, beautifully made and retailed at £139. I paid £20! I call that an eBay bargain.
I had to work for a few hours at the church today so I wore my new shoes with a Benetton navy wool dress, worn over a Benetton pink shirt and navy tights. It was lovely to wear a dress for a change today. Definitely going to try to wear more dresses in future as I'm getting a bit tired of jeans every day.
I'm off now to write my Belfast Fashion Week blog, which will be online first thing in the morning. I was there last night and had an absolute ball. Can't wait to share all the photos!

New Yellow Shoes

Oh they really were a bargain! You'll take even more pleasure in wearing them because of the price. I love them by the way.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous16 March 2012 at 10:40
As with any new shoe there is a "get to know you period" especially when it comes to running, but, for everything from jumping rope to box jumping to hiking outside with the kids, I can honestly tell you these shoes feel fantastic.ReplyDelete

In a move long in the making, Adobe Systems is teaming up with search engine leaders to make Flash content more searchable.
Eric Wittman, director of client distribution and business development in Adobe's Platform Business Unit, said the company is providing optimized Adobe Flash Player technology to Google and Yahoo to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines.
Adobe announced the news July 1, sharing its plans to try to dramatically improve search results of dynamic Web content and RIAs (rich Internet applications).
The move will provide more relevant automatic search rankings of the millions of RIAs and other dynamic content that run in Adobe Flash Player. In addition, RIA developers and rich Web content producers will not need to amend existing and future content to make it searchable, said Justin Everett-Church, senior product manager for Adobe Flash Player. They can be confident that their Flash-based content can now be found by users around the globe, Everett-Church said.
Further reading
"We've wanted to make an announcement of this impact for several years now," Wittman said. "There are millions of things built in Flash and there have been concerns because of search engine compatibility. We have a piece of technology to remedy this and we're working with Google and Yahoo. Google has integrated it and Yahoo will in a period of time."
As Ryan Stewart, an Adobe evangelist, put it:
"So what does that mean? We are giving a special, search-engine optimized Flash Player to Yahoo and Google, which is going to help them crawl through every bit of your SWF file. This Flash Player will act just like a person would in some cases. It will click on your buttons, it will move through the states of your application, get data from the server when your application normally would, and it will capture all of the text and data that you've got inside of your Flash-based application. We've basically provided a very powerful looking glass into SWF files so Google and Yahoo can pull out meaningful information."
"This is a pretty important breakthrough to highly creative and interactive sites such as Disney and Tiffany.com built with Flash and Rich Internet Applications can now be found, crawled indexed and ranked," said Bill Hunt, president of Global Strategies International, a search engine optimization consultancy. "For years, those with Flash sites have been conflicted with reducing the amount of flash or resorting to any number of less than optimal workarounds to get their content included in search engines let alone getting high rankings."
Many major brands and creative developers have been critical of the search engines for not working with them or Adobe to develop a solution to index and score their content, Hunt said.
"These developers and search engine optimization firms like Global Strategies have spent a lot of time and resources -- financial and manpower -- to code alternative sites and workarounds to get the exposure commensurate to their brand positions in the marketplace," he said.

Just mail your counsellor now, sharing your problems, your worries, your anxieties, your fears. Your counsellor will reply to you, and be there for you until you need her to help you cope and get going.
Leading Banjara Academy's online email counselling team of volunteer-counsellors, I realize it is not an easy task reaching out to a person one has never met, never seen, without the added advantage of gestures, eye contact, a gentle reassuring touch, tone of voice and yet providing empathy, positive strokes, making the person feel heard and understood.
With the aid of only written words, it is quite a task building trust, making people open up and share and helping them cope and feel better. So when in many instances they write back saying thank you and that they feel so much better, the feeling one gets is priceless and incomparable - knowing one has done something right, something good!
Hats off to all the volunteeer-counsellors of Banjara Academy who have been carrying on this work silently, anonymously for the last couple of years. Truly commendable! - Ali Khwaja

Buried underneath the busy streets of Camden Stables Market is a little taste of Africa. Right in the heart of market is a huge African statue and a glass door that leads to one of the most decedent escalators down under the ground. Into the darkness, through another door and you arrive in the most wonderful place ever.
Shaka Zulu is a South African restaurant which offers a little taste of African dining as well as a wide range of cocktails and drinks. Split over 2 floors there are loads of gorgeous areas to eat and drink. We were seated on the first floor, right next to the champagne bar and ordered our cocktails. The girls all had champagne cocktails while I had a non-alcoholic because I was the driver!
We spent a long time searching through the menu, having to ask lots of questions about what things were and if we would like it.
I started with a smoked Snoek Pate which is a North African fish, which was delicious, incredibly well seasoned and amazingly presented. My friends tried the Ostrich, Chicken and Harissa Roulade as well as the Springbok Carpaccio, both of which were amazing, the Springbok was so soft and melt in the mouth.
Next up was mains and we all opted for the Kingklip which again is fish. This was beautifully cooked and so soft. We added sides of Peri-Peri chips, creamed kale, Sweet Potato Mash and Roasted Cinnamon Butternut Squash. This was amazing, I've never had fish cooked like this, it was light yet filling.
Pudding was a Coconut Panna Cotta. I've never had panna cotta before but after eating this, I will happily eat this again with pleasure. It was delicious. The other girls had a dark chocolate tart which was incredibly rich.
After lunch we had a wander around the market to help our food settle, although it wasn't too heavy which was great. It was nice to experience a different type of food, it's not something we would eat everyday so its nice for a change.
The restaurant was absolutely stunning, I guess in the evening the atmosphere must be amazing for cocktails before heading out into Camden, I would definitely head back there for more cocktails!
If you fancy trying something new then check it out, we were able to enjoy this 3 course meal thanks to a Wowcher voucher so keep an eye out for a voucher or check out the restaurant here.
What do you think of Shaka Zulu? What's the weirdest food you've ever tried? xx

Selecting the right

Rod Review
Beyond just Bottom Bouncing with the Shimano premium Cumara rod
El Salto was a great first test to the Cumara, but because most of the fish I
caught was caught with weedless rigged plastics I didn't feel like I had fully
tested the sensitivity of the IM-10 based blank. It stands to reason that the
Cumara should be as sensitive if not more than competing rods simply due to the
very exposed split reel seat which puts anglers in direct contact with the blank, even
in a palmed position. I wanted to get back home and fish a larger variety of
baits including jigs and even a drop shot rig with the rod side by side with
both the Crucial and GLoomis rods to see how it would match up.

course of the last eight
months the rod has

up to the challenge. The

copious access to the

Going to the chapel...
As you're aware, my best friend got married this past weekend. I couldn't be happier for her & the new hubs and the new life they get to start together. I just realized that I have know Kristin for half my life. Kind of crazy, no? I feel really blessed to have filled the best friend position for so long:)
Wasn't she a beautiful bride??
I also had the privilege of making their unity candle! I thought it was pretty and was happy that they loved it so much.

Where we headed to first would depend on the weather. We woke to sun and so went to the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Here is "our " restaurant :)
The garden was packed with joggers and people walking. There was also a nice selection of birds Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Blackcap and Parakeet.
We stopped for a drink at the garden cafe (probably the worst service we had ).
And so on to the Pantheon.It has been a church, mausoleum for the dead of the revolution etc. Whatever it's a lovely building...
The Tour St-Jacques. The church was pulled down in 1802 and the tower used as a weather station.
We headed on to the Georges Pompidou Centre
No intention of looking in . We were just soaking up "the vibe" of the City. We stopped to eat (Omelette and wine) overlooking the Stravinsky Fountain.
We headed to the Jardin des Halles which is now a massive building site ! But the church of St Eustache is amazing.
Unfortunately I noticed a no cameras sign and so despite others ignoring it I didn't.
We then headed for the Palais Royal
These young musician are called Classique Metropolitan. They are from the music school and are the first to EVER have me put money into a hat!!

There's a tendency to assume that the age polarization in elections basically just reflects stylistic considerations. And clearly there's something to that idea. But look at the end of this op-ed on climate change by Carlos Pascual and Strobe Talbott:
Many Americans will accept that logic, and make real changes, only if they believe greenhouse gas emissions will affect them personally. Today's adults, even if they will not be around at mid-century, must think about the fate of their children and grandchildren. Obama can look to his two daughters, and McCain to his four grandchildren. They are among nearly 75 million Americans — and 2.2 billion people worldwide — younger than 18. That generation will be in its 40s or 50s when one of two things happens: Either the temperature of the planet warms more than 4.5 degrees and vast regions slide toward being uninhabitable, or the wisdom of the next president and his fellow leaders around the world pays off in the ultimate reward — survival.
This "think of the grandkids" idea is neat, but obviously it's easier to think of yourself. A lot of people who are alive today will be dead in 30–40 years when climate change starts to have really persistently terrible consequences . . . but then there's another whole bunch of us who are planning to still be alive. That kind of thing can give you a very different perspective on how much we should care about taking action now to forestall problems in 2045.

The town of Vinegaroon, TX, is the home to Judge Roy Bean (Walter Brennan), who calls himself "The Only Law West of the Pecos." Bean keeps a saloon, where he also conducts trials, using his office to get fat on fines and the seizure of property, and hanging most of those who get in his way, sometimes more than one a day. Cole Hardin (Gary Cooper) is a saddle-tramp brought in on a charge of stealing a horse belonging to Bean's chief stooge, Chickenfoot (Paul Hurst). Hardin's conviction by a jury made up of Bean's hangers-on (with the undertaker, played with low-key comic zeal by Charles Halton, waiting eagerly for the verdict and the hanging) seems certain, despite his contention that he bought the horse from another man, until Hardin recognizes the judge's obsession with the English actress Lily Langtry. Hardin feigns having seen, met, and known Miss Langtry intimately, and he cons the judge into delaying the death sentence until Hardin can send for a lock of the actress' hair that he supposedly has in El Paso -- that's long enough for the real horse thief (Tom Tyler) to show up and get killed. By the time the dust settles, the judge, for all of his warped sense of justice and corrupt nature, finds himself genuinely liking Hardin as something of a kindred spirit, as bold and daring as he was in his youth, and feeling something like friendship for him. But Bean also tries to shoot Hardin when he decides to cast his lot with the homesteaders, led by Jane-Ellen Mathews (Doris Davenport) and her father, Caliphet (Fred Stone), who have been fighting for survival against Bean and his cattle-rancher allies every step of the way. Hardin tries to appeal to the better nature within the judge, and also saves him from an attempted lynching, but when that fails, and a corn crop is burned and Mr. Mathews killed, he sees no choice but to take action. He gets an arrest warrant sworn out and is deputized by the county sheriff. Taking Bean in his saloon or anywhere in his town (renamed Langtry by the judge, in honor of the actress) is impossible, but then it's announced that Lily Langtry will be appearing in Texas, a long day's ride away from Bean's stronghold. The judge, dressed in his full Civil War regalia and with his men in tow, rides to see the performance while Hardin gets ready to try and arrest him. The kind of climactic shoot-out that follows has been done to death in the decades since, but it was something new and revelatory in a Western in 1940, and still plays beautifully on a dramatic level, capturing in full the complexity of the relationship between these two antagonists. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

The Japanese X-FEL SACLA.
Located at the SPring-8 Center in Harima, SACLA generates an X-ray laser beam boasting the shortest wavelength in the world (0.06 nm), an extremely broad wavelength range and extremely fast pulses. This unique X-ray laser will enable researchers to peer deeper inside matter and investigate unexplored areas of research.
The spatial resolution of observations using light is directly related to the wavelength of light used. One of the biggest advantages of using X-ray light of shorter wavelength is the significant resolution enhancement is provides. Using SACLA, researchers will be able to study the arrangement of atoms, the composition of molecules and viruses and the dynamics of chemical reactions.

Custom Fitting QB1 for Xiro Xplorer
Rob Butchart
QB1 comes configured to fit the DJI Phantom 3 perfectly. But, it's also designed to be easily configurable for other similar sized quads like the awesome Xiro Xplorer! The crisp, easy to cut, layered foam design make it super easy to modify and the results look great.
This philosophy is part of our commitment to minimising waste and making it easy to update and modify our products to extend their useful life.
For the Xiro Xplorer there are 2 simple customisations required...
1 - Rotor Arm Tips. The ribbed sizes of the case need trimming back for a perfect fit.
2 - Legs and Gimbal. The channels for the legs need widening.
For detailed instructions please watch our video!
If you want to know if QB1 can be custom fitted to your drone drop us a line with make and model!
A perfect spring day!

To briefly explain what the Wishlist even is: this is a literal list of dream projects that I've been keeping for a few years. I started it when I bought my very first issue of Burda, 06-2012, because I saw this jacket and instantly wanted one exactly like it:
|Burda 06-2012-121 a.k.a the reason I started buying Burda magazines & started a wishlist
Since then that list has gotten longer and longer. That jacket is still on it. I keep an actual text list of the patterns I am most drawn to in my magazines (because it's very easy to lose track of them if you have a big enough magazine stash) but I also have numerous Pinterest boards full of images I've pinned of RTW garments, things made by other people, even vintage and museum pieces that have something about them that catches my eye. I've also got a few things on my list -- and my January Wishlist entry is one of them -- that harken back to garments I once owned and loved and would like to own again, in some form.
The critical thing with the Wishlist though, is that pretty much everything on it is eye-catching -- distinctive, interesting, the sort of thing you ever only own one of -- and that's what I'll be trying to focus on when I pick my projects this year. It's also what I'll be trying to pick from my magazines for my magazine challenge. This is entirely due to how I assessed my wardrobe at the end of 2016. Although I think I've got to grips very successfully with right-sizing my wardrobe over the last couple of years, and with my colour choices for my wardrobe (about which latter more in a forthcoming post), I feel that my wardrobe overall has got a case of the blahs at the moment. I've been thinking since about November about how I could get rid of the blahs, while also working on my sewing skills, and continuing to put together a wardrobe in a somewhat co-ordinated and size constrained way.
What I've concluded is that I've been concentrating hard on having the right wardrobe staples and being able to make many of them for myself, at the expense of making the kind of one-off, unique garments that would actually make my wardrobe interesting. I have a horror of wardrobe orphans and/or making things that I never wear, but I think I've swung too far in the other direction and have been making things that yes, do all fit together nicely for the most part, but actually also don't really add up to a very interesting wardrobe. It's noticeable to me that when I did make things that were more interesting/different, they tended to rocket to the top of my "best things I've made" list and stay there. I also think a lot of my sewing choices have not been very stretching from a technical perspective. Since I've also been sick and not really able do everything I wanted the last couple of years I'm not too concerned with this latter, but I'm determined to try to forge on and learn new things if I can this year.
I guess that is what to expect then from my challenge patterns: more technically challenging, hopefully somewhat more interesting from a design perspective at times, sometimes more "inspired by..." things that I've seen and loved, or owned previously. I'll be trying to pick patterns, styles, fabrics and colours that fit in with my actual life and existing wardrobe, but that also have some kind of star quality to them -- the sorts of garments that really make an outfit, I guess, rather than just blending in to the background. With any luck, that Burda 06-2012 jacket will be one of them! But I've also got all kinds of ideas just waiting to be put into action. Sadly, though, January's entry though is rather tame, for reasons I'll explain when I post about it.

I cannot help but write a few words on Johannes christening ceremony. We had it about a month ago, mostly for the sake of tradition, but also it was a great opportunity for our friends and family to gather for the only reason to celebrate Johannes.
Traditionally in Sweden, christening of a baby takes place in a church and the baby is wearing a long white gown. The one Johannes wore has been in Hannes' family for quite a few generations and is more than a hundred years old!
Overall, Johannes was extremely happy during the entire ceremony and laughed all the time. I don't sure what he found so funny, maybe the pipe organ playing?
Anyway, in the end Hannes played the piano and sang a song ("Stand by me" by Oasis), and we all went home for the informal part of the celebration (we were about 35 people altogether).
The festive dinner took place in Hannes' dad's garden, and the familiar environment there was perfect for Johannes. He could sleep whenever he felt like it, outdoors in the garden or in his bed inside the house and afterwards wake up at home feeling secure.
Of course, he received a lot of presents, and the most impressive amongst them was definitely the French Vilac car which Johannes got from his godfather! Its retro appeal and the beautifully nostalgic design almost make me wish for one too!
I bet Johannes is going to be crazy about it when he's old enough to ride it!
Also, Johannes got around 30 new outfits for the coming months.
I was absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of this gift, and it even made me consider starting a Baby Outfit Of The Day section on the blog!

Replique, a 1940's "…woody fragrance for women…" by Raphael (Raphael 1944), is a delightfully sweet, dense scent with vibrant aldehydes. It's Earthy, urbane and tenderly aromatic. Replique is a very 1940's floral chypre (Miss Dior) but then becomes powdery like Shalimar in a heady and elegant sort of way.
Vintage Replique reminds me a bit of Vol de Nuit, except it's wilder, girlish, and more Earthy. It could have easily been worn by Lauren Bacall in a fitted tweed suit or by Katherine Hepburn in one of her feminine twists on typical masculine attire. However, it's an absolutely stunning fragrance that could be, and I think should be, worn today too…
Top notes: bergamot, sicilian lemon, cardamom, neroli, coriander, clary sage and aldehydes. Middle notes: ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, egyptian jasmine, mimosa, tuberose, heliotrope and coumarin. Base notes: oakmoss, olibanum, powdery notes, musk, ambergris, vetiver and patchouli.
A kind woman recently reminded me that I shouldn't deny when something is affecting me.
It's just that in this world we are often rewarded for being dishonest about ourselves in ways that make life more pleasant for other people. And it's even easier to be dishonest with others when you are already ignoring how something is affecting you. I am almost always torn between personal honesty, and being guarded. So, having not quite found the perfect balance yet for myself (I'm working on it), when I am honest it can be too brutal and when I'm guarded it's impossible to find me unless you know exactly where to look… I'm working on it, I guess…
If you truly know me in this life, and know when things are affecting me, you are one of very few people… And I think that that's probably true for most people. Isn't it?
I'm sure if you've read this blog for any extended period of time you know that I have a fond feeling for American authors from the so called, "Lost Generation." I once read The Real F. Scott Fitzgerald written by Fitzgerald's last love, and mistress, Sheilah Graham. She supposedly had a very trying, painful, yet at times gloriously emotionally gripping and tender romance with the late author. They did seem to be in love with each other. They had a relationship that was off and on for about three years. However, Sheilah Graham wrote that one of her and F. Scott's contemporaries commented that Graham never really knew F. Scott Fitzgerald. Graham contends that this woman was simply jealous of her relationship with the great American author and was trying to be hurtful. Perhaps the comment was made out of vapid jealousy, but it does beg an intriguing question. How well do we truly know people, even people we're in love with – the people we're supposed to know best? People have such great depths.
I think, from my observations, that most relationships, of all sorts, go through three big distinct stages (not a new observation I'm aware) with tons of other stages between. The first stage being the one where you initially find the person groovy (groovy being platonic, romantic, etc.). The second stage being the hardest – where you find out who the person is compared to who you think they are. In that stage we wage our wars. We set our limits, and we figure out if this person will be truly close or if we'll eventually have to let them go. People love to extoll the beauty and virtues of the first stage, lament the sorrow the second, but it's the third stage where the real magic happens. If you ever reach that third stage, you're an incredibly fortunate person…
I think the second stage can last for decades at worst… And sometimes the worst part doesn't even involve any fighting but living with the pain of a shallow bond that will eventually shatter (I've had friendships like this).
But that third stage… I've seen marriages where the love didn't last past the second stage, but a deep, powerful friendship found itself in place instead. One of my mom's friends was married, had two kids, raised her kids with her husband and then her husband had an affair. He remarried his mistress, and somehow, miraculously, after sorting through the confusion and pain they were all friends. Close friends… She remarried too and is quite happy… There was a friend in high school who I had heated arguments with at times. We had very different political views that we were passionate about (still do) but then, after a while, we realized that at our core we were kindred spirits. And even though I don't talk to her anymore (we lost contact along the way) we left things on good terms and I know that if I ever ran into her we would pick up where we left off. It's a firm, deep, and meaningful bond.
I guess, I think that it's in that third stage when you truly know someone… Everything before that is either a retroactive study in how you will never actually know the other person (outside of supernatural intervention – ha!), or a beautiful, inevitable passage deep into that person's heart. The older I get the more I believe in a funny sort of fate, although of course you can never know it until it's just the present… There's so much we simply cannot control.
Have a pleasant day. 🙂

Karla's Korner – Give the gift of a local Christmas this yearCommunity, Gilmer County Chamber December 5, 2017
Karla started her show this morning saying GO DAWGS!!! I have to agree with her on that note. Then she told us that TODAY is the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition. So this holiday season while you are getting festive you can buy your favorite spirits from these local places: The Hitching Post, Mountain Treasures, Cartecay Vineyards, Chateau Mitchre, and Appalachian Beverage. The next great local gift you can give your family and friends is gift certificates to local restaurants. There are so many great ones in our small town to choose from. Lastly if your family has been thinking about getting a new furry friend; visit you local animal shelter. Make a difference in an animal's life this Christmas by giving them a forever home with your family. As always we would like to thank the Gilmer County Chamber for sponsoring this segment.

The Way Forward - Vision
The following is a complete text of the Working Paper - The Way Forward presented by His Excellency YAB Dato' Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the Malaysian Business Council.
The purpose of this paper is to present before you some thoughts on the future course of our nation and how we should go about to attain our objective of developing Malaysia into an industrialised country. Also outlined are some measures that should be in place in the shorter term so that the foundations can be laid for the long journey towards that ultimate objective.

Sharing the Infinite World of Yayoi Kusama
That's the exterior of the Hirshhorn Museum, all polka-dotted up for the current exhibit "Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors," as seen during my recent visit.
Once inside, you're not allowed to take any pictures of the artwork.
Just kidding
That's a joke, of course. Taking photos is the entire point of the exhibit, like it or not.
(Above: views of Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away [2013] and Dots Obsession—Love Transformed into Dots [2007] by Yayoi Kusama.)
But before you can do that, you have to make it inside. Many articles have been written on this subject, with discouraging headlines like "How to Survive the Yayoi Kusama Show." All I'll add is that your best bet may be to opt for same-day tickets by getting in line by 9:00 am. The museum opens at 10:00, and then they hand out timed tickets on a first-come first-served basis.
Online tickets are worth a shot, but the odds are not good. (More about ticketing on the Hirshhorn's website.)
What's the big deal?
This is surely not the first article you've read about this exhibit. So what makes it so special?
Art-lovers are, in general, accustomed to a certain way of enjoying exhibits:
- show up whenever you like
- go by yourself or with a group
- take your time
But a quick look around the second floor of the Hirshhorn confirms that you can throw those expectations out the window and get used to:
- timed tickets
- lines of people with their phones at the ready
- guards-slash-bouncers armed with actual stopwatches to limit your time
This kind of phones-first exhibit was always going to upset some people — but is it any less valid as an art exhibit?
Wait, art?
Oh right, the art.
Before she became famous in your Instagram feed, Yayoi Kusama was known as an artist who works in many different media and with a variety of reoccurring obsessions. This exhibit is a retrospective of her work, spanning seven decades and the museum's entire second floor.
The first thing you'll see in the exhibit is a video introduction from Kusama herself:
The second thing you'll see is her early drawing. This is also a first glimpse at one of those obsessions I mentioned: dots.
Things quickly progress from there, with the next two rooms introducing Kusama's soft sculptures, phallus motif, and repetitive Infinity Nets paintings.
Soon you'll see the first lines for the main event: one of six mirrored rooms from the exhibit's title. Created as immersive environments ripe for "self-obliteration," they are a little less Zen in this incarnation. (More on that below.)
In addition to the artwork itself, there's a remarkable story to the 87-year-old artist, who — in the face of mental illness and a male-centric, Western-focused art world — has enjoyed commercial and critical success and is among the most popular living artists. You can learn more about her life in this video interview, this blog post, or by reading her autobiography, Infinity Net.
So back to my question: is a popular, Instagram-bait retrospective any less valid as an art exhibit?
To elaborate on that answer: it's different, for sure. But not worse.
This is an exhibit that is literally impossible to enjoy in solitude. It's not allowed: If you go alone, you'll be paired up with a stranger to be admitted to the mirrored rooms. You'll find no peace and quiet, and — despite the mirrors — no time for reflection. In each special room, your time is limited to 20–30 seconds.
(You're free to take your time for the rest of the exhibit, which is also fun:)
Everything points to "Infinity Mirrors" as an alternative way of experiencing an art exhibit, one where the experience must be shared, not solitary. In fact, you get to share it twice: once with the people there, and once with your online followers. (Hi!)
It has much in common with the performing arts, or Disneyland for that matter, while being more accessible than either. Tickets are still free, even if they're hard to get. And people with restricted mobility can see the exhibit via virtual reality.
Infinite room
It's true that waiting in lines and being rushed isn't going to become my preferred kind of art outing. But this exhibit means that Kusama can still treat me to an art happening, decades after the sixties.
What this exhibit doesn't mean:
- Timed tickets and selfie-centric exhibits are the new norm
- You can't still find emptier, quieter museums around town
- All of art is cheapened when new populations discover exhibits that excite them
In short, arts-lovers should be welcoming these crowds, especially in a time when museums are striving to increase attendance and (hopefully) reach out to underserved communities they've historically written off. "Infinity Mirrors" is an exhibit that, despite the lines, does its best to make room for everyone.
–George Miller
"Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors" is on view at the Hirshhorn Museum through May 14, 2017 and is traveling to other locations afterward.

Continuing the 'no more soundchecks' series of unplugged gigs in Peacock Visual Arts, we will be presenting another show in conjunction with the 'I Heart UTG' campaign. KING JAMES is the sound of many voices in harmony, telling stories of the weak and the shamed and features Laurence Collyer and Johny Lamb It was formed as a distraction from, and interpretation of, their irreversibly turbulent romantic lives and disproportionately religious upbringings. The religious aspect of the songs is confused, unhappy, accusing and frequently misinterpreted."Dusty new hymnal folk.... gospel influences and elements of Hank Williams in a strangely uplifting fashion... stories of the downtrodden... safe to say no-one else is making music quite like this at the moment." (The Source)http://www.myspace.com/kingjameshymnalTHE DIAMOND FAMILY ARCHIVE is the haunting, tance-like, dark-heart folk laments of Laurence Collyer exploring displacement, nostalgia and loneliness. His songs are odd, personal, emotive and atmospheric; his live performance will stun a room to silence, beguile and mesmerise. This year alone sees releases with Woodland Recordings (UK/Berlin), Electronic Musik (UK), A Beard of Snails (Denmark), Dala Horse (Italy) and The Tired Trails Collective (USA). Laurence currently lives and records under an 11th century castle in the Southwest of England."Laurence manages to silence rooms with his mixture of ominous lyrics, creaking slow-motion guitar and a hint of violence." (New Folk Review) "A true highlight from this years homegame!" (Fence Records) "intense, spectral folk Laurence Collyer is a unique, revolving ensemble, centering around his ghostly, deeply emotive songwriting... with beautiful songs this is a truly great disc!" (Rough Trade)http://www.myspace.com/thediamondfamilyarchiveTHIRTY POUNDS OF BONE is the sea-shanty, lo-fi story telling and folk musing of Johny Lamb with songs which countering all that is shiny and new in the world today.

"accomplished collection of plaintive laments" (Q)"this album isn't going to fit the clichs of many of the recent 'weird folk' trends." (WORD magazine)"bold and innovative" (RECORD COLLECTOR Magazine 4/5)"Occupying its own trans-century time-period and impressively at odds with the rest of the record buying world yet all the more timeless because of it."

Spiced Beef with Wasabi Cream
By edvel54
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
1 beef eye round roast (about 2 lbs)
1 container (6 oz) fat-free Greek yogurt
1 tsp wasabi paste
4 heads baby bok choy, halved
6 oz shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
2 Tbsp canola oil
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, stir together the ginger, five-spice powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Place the beef on a baking sheet with sides. Coat all sides of the beef with canola cooking spray. Rub the ginger mixture over the beef. Bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium, or 165°F for well done. Remove to a serving plate and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and wasabi until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
While the roast stands, increase the oven temperature to 450°F. Drain any liquid from the pan but leave some of the drippings. Add the bok choy, mushrooms, pepper, and oil to the pan, tossing to coat. Roast for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring once.
Serve with ½ c hot cooked medium pearl barley per serving.

Home Food Storage and Healthy Food Choices
by Gary D. Palmer
"Our products do not contain aluminum, artificial fragrances, artificial flavours, dyes, mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, phtalates, artificial preservatives, triclosan or other unwanted artificial ingredients." Thus states The Green Beaver Company, a Canadian firm manufacturing "healthy all natural personal care products", as they describe the toothpastes which they include in their lineup of products.
This is all part of a growing trend, a trend to go back to the natural, and the organic. Many consumers now actively seek products that are not filled with unknown and, to them, suspect chemicals. They don't want cosmetics that have gone through much animal testing on the way to marketability. They want products that are environmentally safe and people friendly.
This thinking, however, is not limited to toothpaste and face creams. Our food supplies are also now coming under increased scrutiny by those who want to address these legitimate concerns. The typical North American now enjoys unprecedented choice, convenience and abundance when it comes to choosing food supplies for fridge, freezer or kitchen cupboard. Yet, is there a hidden price being paid? The answer to that depends upon what you feel about food additives, and to just what you consider to be an additive. Even fresh food can sometimes be suspect. Is it possible that those tomatoes might have a trace of pesticide residue left upon them? What really is in that waxy substance that is used to make those apples so shiny and attractive?
Often preservatives are necessary. They can extend shelf life, add flavor, and hinder bacterial growth. They are what have made possible much of the abundance and variety that we enjoy today. But is there anything that we can do to cut back on at least some of these chemicals that we almost unknowingly consume each and every day? Well, that is one area in which home food storage can play a role.
Consider a package of beef jerky. It is relatively inexpensive, easily available, and tasty. Check out the package cover. It likely says right on it, "High in Protein – Low in Fat." That certainly sounds like a nice, healthful snack, but what's all of that in the list of ingredients? There's beef, water, sugar, soy sauce, salt, spices, maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate, hydrolyzed corn protein, sodium erthorbate, sodium nitrite and mesquite smoke. If you don't like it, don't eat it. There's no other choice. This is on a "take it or leave it basis." You could, of course, look for another brand, but, again, you cannot remove what has already been added, and there is sure to have been something added.
Yet, making beef jerky at home is also a possibility. You'll probably want a dehydrator and some lean ground beef. You will probably want to add some things yourself, but now you do get to choose. There is a commercially available product sold under the brand name Jerky Works. They provide jerky making tools and flavorings. Typically, you would mix one of their flavor packets and one of their cure packets with one pound of that lean, ground beef. Yes, this means there are still "additives", but now you are only adding Dextrose, Salt, Natural Spices, Hickory Smoked Flavor, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, and Imitation Maple Flavor in the seasoning, and salt and sodium nitrate in the "cure". Is that better?
Many would say, "yes", but if you are saying, "no", you still have the option of doing your own flavoring and curing. One recipe calls for flank steak, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning salt. Is that even better? It might be, but you might want to consider the fact that Worcestershire sauce also has a list of ingredients – malt vinegar, white vinegar, blackstrap molasses, soya sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, sodium benzoate), brown sugar, salt, spices, onion powder, garlic powder, tamarind concentrate, caramel color, anchovies, citric acid, spice extract, polysorbate 80, sulphites and natural flavor as found in one brand.
One could choose another recipe, but the simple fact is that you are unlikely to be able to entirely eliminate these so-called food additives whether you are buying it from the store, or whether you are doing your own food processing. Even salt, which is so often used and so often termed a "natural" ingredient, is actually a chemical – sodium chloride, so with it, you are still adding chemicals. On the other hand, by doing it yourself you do get to exercise control. You pick. You choose. They're additives which you will have approved.
Beef jerky might not be something that would appeal to a vegan, but it does make for a good example. The fact is these choices can be made in relation to all sorts of food storage. Check out the additives in that can of tomato sauce. What could you eliminate if you made your own sauce? Would a food washer put your mind at ease when it comes to those pesticide residues? Are you a hiker and enjoy trail mix, but have trouble finding something suitable for you personally? Again, you can do it yourself, and control it yourself.
Home food storage can indeed save you money, but it can also allow you to make more healthful food choices.
Can it, freeze it, freeze dry it, dehydrate it, use it fresh, or purchase already prepared foods for emergencies. At Store-It foods it is our desire to see to it that each food storage choice is a possibility for you.

Greening Glyndebourne, sustainable figures announced for year one of the turbine
Wind energy has been the world's fastest growing renewable energy source for the last decade and in January 2012 Sir David Attenborough launched Glyndebourne's wind turbine, an Enercon E44, endorsing the opera house as an environmental innovator in the arts community.
Following the launch, the UK's only opera house to host an on-site wind turbine is now able to report positively on its first year's renewable energy generation. The Glyndebourne wind turbine has generated 89% of the organisation's electricity requirements in the 12 months to 31 January 2013, compared to the stated target of 90% in a year of slightly below average wind speed. During this period, the turbine has achieved an annual yield of 1,395 megawatt-hours (MWh) in 7433 operating hours, with average annual wind speeds of 5.68 metres per second.
Gus Christie, Executive Chairman of Glyndebourne Productions said "We are delighted that these figures have met our predictions – for one turbine to harness the wind on the hill above Glyndebourne and power the opera house represents a huge step in our long-term aspiration of becoming carbon neutral from our direct operations. We are implementing many other energy-saving technologies to further reduce our carbon emissions. We are proud that the turbine has raised awareness of climate change within the local community and among the many audiences who visit us throughout the year."
Paul Dickinson, Executive Chairman of the Carbon Disclosure Project said: "A great commitment from all is required if we are to protect future generations by overcoming the challenging and grave problem of climate change. The National Academies of Science have stated that,"the need for urgent action to address climate change is now indisputable."Further, they suggest that limiting global warming to 2°C would require, "a very rapid worldwide implementation of all available low carbon technologies." Glyndebourne's installation of a wind turbine shows leadership in response to these serious warnings from senior scientists."
Sir David Attenborough adds further weight to the imperative that we must all actively take responsibility for climate change and individually take on the responsibility to reduce carbon emissions. He said: "It is a joy to be involved in something which is working with the environment and not against it. This is what makes the turbine beautiful. It is important to have a care for the future generations and that is exactly what this turbine is doing. Anything you can do to generate electricity in a renewable way is good."

HTC's profits fell by nearly 80 percent during its third quarter, the company revealed Oct. 8, highlighting a tumultuous year for the Taiwan-based smartphone maker.
Total revenue for the quarter reached approximately $2.4 billion, with net income before tax of $137 million—which was down nearly 50 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
"HTC is still donating market share to Samsung and Apple, and its net profits are shrinking in dramatic fashion," RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue said in an Oct. 8 report. "In our assessment, other market-share donors include Nokia, Motorola, LG and Sony."
In 2010, HTC introduced a number of key smartphones that helped propel Google's Android platform into the mainstream—and ultimately ahead of Apple's iOS. During its 2010 fourth quarter, which largely mimicked its first three quarters, HTC reported a 160 percent jump in profits. Since the mainstreaming of Android, however, and Samsung's introduction of its Android-running Galaxy line, HTC has been unable to stay on its feet.
Further reading
RBC estimates that HTC sold 13 million smartphones during its Sept. 2011 quarter, but just 7 million during its most recent quarter.
HTC's current answer to Samsung and Apple's iPhone is its One series of smartphones. The One X was well-regarded by reviewers but was generally sidestepped as consumers raced for Samsung's Galaxy S III, which was released around the same time. In 100 days' time, Samsung sold 20 million of the devices.
In April, HTC executives said that, given the competition in the U.S. market, HTC would shift its attention to markets in Asia and Europe. In addition to the One series, it launched a Desire series strongly targeting Chinese consumers.
In September, HTC CEO Peter Chou stood on stage at a New York City event and told the press that HTC has more experience with Microsoft's Windows Phone OS than any of its competitors.
Chou went on to tell a story about visiting Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss how the two companies could "go bigger and better than ever. We talked about doing something different to get consumers really excited about Windows Phone."
After his powwow with Ballmer, "It was clear what HTC needed to do," Chou said. He went back to Taiwan and told HTC's design team, "We have to take a completely fresh approach—we need a breakthrough."
They came up with the Windows Phone 8X and 8S, which Microsoft and HTC call a hero device and each plan to push "in a big way." Their launch, said Jason MacKenzie, president of HTC Americas, will be the biggest and most ambitious launch on which the companies have ever partnered.
While it's likely to have better luck competing against Nokia in the Windows Phone space than Samsung in the Android market, it hasn't given up on Android.
On Oct. 4,HTC introduced the One X+—a thoroughly upgraded version of the One X—and the One VX, for users preferring a slightly smaller display. AT&T will begin selling the phones in November.
HTC previously warned that the quarter would be disappointing, suggesting that part of its problem was also internal. It said in a statement that it "continues to optimize organizational structure and resources to increase efficiency and competitiveness [and] focusing on key growth areas."
Bloomberg reported Oct. 8 that, in August, Chou sent an email to HTC staff, explaining the need to increase the company's sense of urgency and workers' ability to act quickly. HTC needs to "kill bureaucracy…," Chou wrote, and "stay firm with the hero innovations."

Been working in my sons 90 Thunderbird sc 5speed. Had a terrible diagnosis on this by me. Thought the timing chain jumped, well after I got it all apart it was fine, actually in great shape for 160000 miles. I'll tell you a quick rundown of what it's doing and what I have tried so far.
He was driving down the road and it just died and he had a friend help him get it back to the house. The first quick checks I did was fuel pressure (40psi), spark (good). Compression good 120 psi. Unplugged cam sensor just to see if it would burp, nothing.
There is no signal to the injectors. Took crank sensor off bench tested, good. Went through the monotonous rundown off checks to check DIS and coil pack.
As I'm working on it I keep asking him has he ever noticed the Cooling fan stays on high with ignition on and fuel pump never shuts off. To me this isn't correct. Fuel pump should only come on for a pre-determined time. Checked the relay control module by taking apart and checking diodes and relays and one transistor, they were good.
I have the ECM apart right now. In circuit all diodes and transistors check good, I have no way of checking the old obsolete Motorola IC's cause I don't have the pin outs. I am leaning towards a bad ECM. Unless someone can steer me differently.
Being that the case anyone have a ECM?
How close do I have to be on the numbers for ecm. On one side FOPF-12A650-ALA, on other side printed in pink E9AF-14A625-AA.
Thanks in advance for your help.
