Have you always dreamed of owning your own
boutique or perhaps having a booth at the local
antique mall or maybe you already do !
Twenty five years ago it was just that, a dream for
me. What started as a dream, now consumes my life,
BUT that is a conscious decision on my part. That is what
I want.. to live, breathe, continue to dream, continue to live
my life, surrounded by all things "Country French".
When I first started selling antiques, searching
for inventory consumed most of my time.
Markets and malls by day and auctions
by night. Merchandising and marketing were
placed on the back burner. If I had time I'd
get to that, but I had to have inventory. I loved
going to the markets, but frustration began to
set in when I crunched the numbers. I wanted to
actually be able to support myself selling antiques.
I had one of those Eureka moments. Could I spend
12 hours and walk away with a few pieces that would
yield me a net profit of $100?
I had spent 26 years in retail management and
operations, so those profit and loss statements
haunted me.
I knew something had to change if I was to
reach my goal. I also realized that my inventory
would be the heart of my business.
Well fast-forward...
I've been selling to the trade (full-time) for 15 years
now. Some of my clients have been with me
from the start. Others have moved on to different
directions in life.
Passion aside, the most important thing that dictates
success in this business is inventory.
I have chosen "Country French", as it appeals to me.
If you happen to be frenchified also, and have a
yearning to be successful selling antiques,
Perhaps "European Antique Market" can help
you obtain your goal.
The key to being successful in the antique/home decor
business is to offer products that are unique, unless you
can compete with the Walmart's and Target's of
the world.
Sourcing is Vital to Success!
Auctions can be time consuming, you sit
there all day waiting for that one piece, only to
have the dealer next to you, outbid you.
Most Antique Malls are owned by people
accumulating real estate. Their goal is to charge a rent,
charge a commission, and keep the dealers identity
a secret from you so they can inflate the price.
All to pay their mortgage.
And.. if you went to Atlanta market this week,
how many other people did you see that you know?
You try to keep your suppliers a secret and hope
that the shop next door doesn't pick up the same vendor.
That's fruitless, they are in the business to sell that
same lamp to 4,380+ other stores out there.
Perhaps the answer is to participate in our
Co-Op Container.
If your serious about your inventory and can invest a
minimum of $20,000, the co-op container could be an
alternative. You will be sharing space in a 40ft. container
with other dealers. Yours truly will be buying (according
to your specifications) and handling all the logistics.
From France to You!
Save on shipping, purchase at a better price, and take
advantage of our experience.

The Wisconsin State Senate is in session Tuesday and taking up issues like asbestos lawsuits and propane loans.
Senate to vote on bill affecting asbestos lawsuits
The Wisconsin state Senate plans to vote on a bill opponents say would slow asbestos-exposure lawsuits.
The measure up for a vote Tuesday would require plaintiffs to reveal how many businesses their attorneys plan to go after. Republican supporters say such a move would prevent lawyers from hiding multiple claims in hopes of maximizing awards.
But opponents, including veterans exposed to asbestos during their service, say the measure is designed to slow cases down in the hopes plaintiffs will die and protect corporations from making payouts.
The Assembly passed the bill last year. If it clears the Senate, it would then head to Gov. Scott Walker for his consideration.
Wisconsin Senate to vote on propane loan program
The Wisconsin Senate is ready to put the finishing touches on a bill that would create a new loan program to offset high propane prices.
The measure calls for the state to guarantee up to $2,500 in loans to purchase propane or other heating supplies and pay down interest. The borrower's household income couldn't exceed 200 percent of their county median household income, however.
The Assembly overwhelmingly approved the bill last month. The Senate is set to take it up Tuesday. Approval would send the bill on to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature.
Wisconsin and other Midwestern states have been grappling with a propane shortage spurred by the cold winter, a temporary pipeline closure and heavy propane demand for drying grain last fall.
Wisconsin Senate to vote on driver liability bill
The Wisconsin Senate is scheduled to take up a bill that would limit parents' liability for young drivers.
Right now children under 18 need a parent or other adult sponsor to sign and verify their driver's license application. That makes the parents or sponsors liable for the driver's negligence or willful misconduct. Republican Sen. Glenn Grothman's bill would limit that liability to a total of $300,000.
The Senate's judiciary committee, which Grothman chairs, approved the bill on a 3-2 vote last month. The Senate is set to vote on it Tuesday afternoon. Approval would send the bill to the Assembly.
Senate votes to change Milwaukee mental health
The Wisconsin state Senate has approved a bill that would take control of the troubled Milwaukee mental health complex away from the county board and give it to a group of medical professionals, patients and family members.
The bipartisan proposal passed unanimously Tuesday comes after six patients died at the facility in 2012.
Opponents to the bill, including the union that represents nurses and workers at the complex, say control should not be taken away from elected local officials on the Milwaukee County Board.
In addition to creating the new board to run the facility, the bill would also require an extensive audit be done by Dec. 1 that would consider whether the state should take over operations.

U.S. stocks advanced, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record close, as Federal Reserve officials said economic weakness warrants continued stimulus and investors await data this week on jobs and growth.
Microsoft Corp. climbed 4.2 percent as Nomura Holdings Inc. said the software company may exit its money-losing consumer business under a new chief executive officer. Ralph Lauren Corp. rallied 5.5 percent after the apparel maker boosted the lower end of its sales forecast and increased its dividends. Tesla Motors Inc. tumbled 15 percent as its vehicle sales missed some analysts' estimates.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.4 percent to 1,770.49 at 4 p.m. in New York, within two points of its all-time closing high. The Dow added 128.66 points, or 0.8 percent, to 15,746.88, surpassing its previous closing record of 15,680.35 on Oct. 29. About 6.1 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, 3 percent above the three-month average.
"The central bank has decided they will reward risk behavior and that's what we're going to get," Bill Mann, chief investment officer at Motley Fool Asset Management in Alexandria, Virginia, said in a phone interview. His firm manages $560 million. "The market will keep hitting their highs until the stimulus reverses itself."
The S&P 500 has surged 24 percent this year, heading for the best annual performance since 2003, as corporate earnings beat forecasts and the central bank maintained stimulus measures.
Fed Papers
Two separate papers by members of the Fed board yesterday argued the need to maintain a loose monetary policy to support growth in the world's biggest economy.
William English, head of the Division of Monetary Affairs, supported the Fed's strategy of maintaining low interest rates while unemployment is above 6.5 percent and wrote that an even lower threshold may be helpful. Another paper by David Wilcox said the weakness of the U.S. economy calls for a "highly accommodative monetary policy."
"Our initial assessment is that they considerably increase the probability that the FOMC will reduce its 6.5 percent unemployment threshold for the first hike in the federal funds rate," Jan Hatzius, chief economist of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., wrote yesterday, referring to the studies.
Investors are watching data to gauge the health of the U.S. economy after Fed policy makers said last week they need to see more evidence of sustained improvement before slowing the pace of its $85 billion monthly bond purchases.
Leading Indicators
A report today showed the Conference Board's index of U.S. leading indicators, a gauge of the outlook for the next three to six months, increased 0.7 percent in September. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a gain of 0.6 percent.
Data later this week may show the U.S. economy slowed in the third quarter and employers hired fewer workers in October.
Commerce Department data tomorrow may show gross domestic product grew at a 2 percent annualized rate after a 2.5 percent pace in the second quarter, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Payrolls rose by 120,000 workers last month after a 148,000 gain in September, while the jobless rate rose to 7.3 percent, Labor Department figures may show on Friday.
Three rounds of bond purchases from the Fed and better-than-expected earnings have helped drive the S&P 500 up more than 160 percent from a bear market low in 2009.
Earnings Reports
Of the 423 S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings so far, 75 percent have beaten analysts' profit forecasts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Income for the broad index (SPX) probably increased 4.1 percent in the third quarter, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
"We're over the period where the market is lifting all boats," Michael Binger, who helps oversee $410 million as senior portfolio manager for Gradient Investments in Arden Hills, Minnesota, said in a phone interview. "The economy is growing at a mediocre rate. Tapering news is put on hold. At the end of the day, stock prices follow earnings and earnings continue to grow. We have to pay attention to specific stocks."
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, the gauge of S&P 500 options known as the VIX, fell 4.5 percent to 12.68, extending its decline this year to 30 percent.
Eight out of 10 S&P 500 industry groups gained as consumer-staples and utility companies rose the most, climbing at least 1.1 percent.
Microsoft, the world's largest software maker conducting its first-ever CEO search, gained 4.2 percent to $38.18 for the biggest increase in the Dow and its highest level since 2000.
Bing, Xbox
Rick Sherlund, a Nomura analyst, increased his share-price forecast to $45 from $40, citing potential changes under a new CEO, including a disposal of Microsoft's business in consumer products such as the Bing search engine and Xbox game console.
Ralph Lauren advanced 5.5 percent to $180.52. The company said it now expects full-year revenue to grow more than 5 percent, up from an earlier projection of an increase of at least 4 percent. Ralph Lauren raised its quarterly dividend to 45 cents a share from 40 cents.
Ensco Plc (ESV) jumped 4.4 percent to $59.55. The offshore contract drilling company boosted its quarterly dividend by 50 percent to 75 cents a share.
Tesla plunged 15 percent to $151.16 for its biggest slide since January 2012. The company said it delivered about 5,500 Model S vehicles in the third quarter. Brian Johnson, an auto analyst at Barclays Plc, had expected 5,820, while Dan Galves of Deutsche Bank AG estimated the company would ship 5,850 cars.

Sabah Native Rights Eroded,No Thanks To Sabah Government?
According to Kong, native customary right in the form of customary tenure, even without any document of title, confers a permanent heritable and transferable right over occupancy and use of land under our system of land law.
In his statement today, Kong disputed the statement of the Director of Lands & Surveys Sabah, Datuk Osman Jamal claiming that the State Government and Department of Lands & Surveys never neglected their duty to protect the rights and privileges of the native community in terms of land ownership.
"His statement was misleading and did not reflect the predicament encountered by the native community in Sabah claiming for land ownership. On the contrary, what is really happening is that the natives of Sabah have been and are losing their ancestral land rapidly to the extent that many natives are now landless people, whether knowingly or otherwise" Kong responded.
Kong said, "Either the Director did not know the present predicament and plight of the native community in Sabah or he intended to mislead the people and the BN political leaders in believing that all is well insofar as the land rights and ownership of the Sabah natives are concerned."
"To understand the dire situation faced by the natives in Sabah in respect of their appeals for help due to encroachment and loss of ownership in land, the Director could verify with the State Attorney General Chambers and all District Land Offices where there are a large numbers of court cases and land disputes outstanding and accumulating." Kong said.
"If the BN State Government and its leaders respect and protect the land rights and ownership of the indigenous people of Sabah, the State Government especially the Chief Minister as minister in charge should have the political will and immediately direct the Department of Lands & Surveys to conduct the settlement exercise to identify and settle all NCR lands in the State by issuing individual and communal land titles as provided in the Sabah Land Ordinance." Kong suggested.
"The fact that the State Government and Lands & Surveys Department had now given a speedy approval letter for the land alienated for the Mazu statue and temple speaks for itself since it was only made possible by personal intervention by Sabah Chief Minister (right) himself in the unusual circumstances." Kong said.
Kong disclosed, "The promising picture painted by the Director was merely a good public relation exercise by the Director which did not reflect the real sentiment of the natives of Sabah who are helplessly suffering from the massive loss of their ancestral land due to indiscriminate alienation of huge acreages of land by the Chief Minister Department and Lands & Surveys Department to many large corporations including government agencies, which subsequently entered into joint ventures with private corporations."
"The painful truth is that the Sabah natives have been crying out loud for the past 10 years for the massive loss of their ancestral land and land acquired by native customary rights (NCR) which were continuously encroached, destroyed and taken away from them through alienations by the State Government." Kong said
Kong said "The indigenous people of Sabah (left) had voiced out their plight and frustration to the State Government in many occasions. But their voices were never heard or respected."
"Sometime in 2006 and again in February 2008, not less than 32,352 natives from 18 districts of Sabah had voiced out their grievances and came out appealing to the government to respect, defend and protect against encroachment of their ancestral land for a collective area of 339,984 acres in 18 kampungs in the State. More than 100 representatives from 18 districts led by Galus Ahtoi of PACOS (Partners of Community Organization) gathered at Kota Kinabalu and jointly submitted a memorandum to the Head of State of Sabah, Sabah chief minister, Suhakam, State Secretary, State Attorney General and the Director of Lands & Surveys himself." Kong said.
"Despite their protests and appeals, nothing was done by the State Government in taking step to preserve, protect and respect their land rights and ownership. On the contrary, huge acreages of state land to the extent of 20,000 acres to 60,000 hectares per land title were alienated to powerful corporations without any due consideration to the existing rights in of the natives' ancestral land and NCR land that they and their forefathers have occupied and cultivated for generations."
"One of the major causes for the massive losses of ancestral land rightfully belonging to the natives was due to the excessive time-consuming process practiced by Lands & Surveys Department between land application and issuance of land title. In many cases, it could take as long as more than 30 years and still waiting. Another major cause of concerned is that natives have to compete with big corporations for land due to heavy demands for agricultural land for oil palm plantations. Due to the lack of financial resources, natives always lose out and give up at the end." Kong said.
"Over the years, it is generally perceived by ordinary citizens especially natives of the remote villages that the State has been more readily to alienate large acreages of land to selected individuals or corporations whose primary or sole objective is out to amass land for wealth accumulation rather than for basic need or livelihood. At the same time, land applications and alienation can be such a complex procedure and lengthy process for natives who are in dire need of small acreages of farmland to support their basic livelihood and survival. It is rather common in Sabah that natives have been waiting for more than 30 years for document of title to the land that they applied. One of those many cases is the natives in Tongod of Kinabatangan." Kong said.
"Some 24,000 acres were alienated to a company in 1998 in a single land application submitted in 1997 whereas Tongod natives had applied much earlier for 5 to 15 acres per family since 1975 and have been there as a village community comprising of 12 kampungs for not less than 7 generations. They and their forefathers were owners of the land by adat or custom long before the British Chartered Company or at least well before the formation of any state government. The State Government through Lands & Surveys Department in one single approval took away their land without any due regard to the people's existing rights and their livelihood and survival." Kong said.
"Never ignore the fact that natives of Sabah were often the victims of uncontrolled logging activities and indiscriminate land development schemes including by Government land agencies. Public officials so often seized opportunity to limit, delay, disregard and reject claims by native community based on NCR or their land applications submitted earlier in time but instead to facilitate by giving preferential treatments to applications later in time to selected powerful individuals and corporations.
"Depriving customary land of the natives can be construed as depriving their livelihood, which is unconstitutional in violation of Article 5 of the Federal Constitution that guarantees that no person shall be deprived of his life which includes the rights to livelihood except in accordance with law. Further, the taking away or extinguishments of customary land from native or alienation of customary land without compensation was discriminatory, unfair and unconstitutional thereby violated Article 8 of the Federal Constitution that guarantees equality before the law. Moreover, the taking away or extinguishments of customary land from natives or the alienation of customary land without compensation was unconstitutional on the ground that it is in violation of Article 13 which guarantees that no person shall be deprived of his property without adequate compensation and save according to law.
"The State and its administrators have a general fiduciary and constitutional obligation to protect the welfare of the natives and a specific obligation to protect and preserve the native customary and proprietary rights in land. In the premises, they must act for the benefits of the said native community as the beneficiaries. Any deprivation of customary land belonging to the native communities and their future generations is to deprive them of their sources of food, water, rivers, medicines, wildlife, other forest produce which the said native communities need and are dependant upon for their livelihood and daily sustenance.
"Now by his own admission, the Director has finally conceded after all these years that his Department and State Government are incapable of handling the many land applications submitted by natives with some 265,000 remaining outstanding, which is very alarming as the backlogs have accumulated since 1975 until now and continuing.
"Based on their working capacity of 16,000 applications per year, the future and prospect of obtaining native land rights and ownership is indeed very bleak for the Sabah natives.
"Street demonstration is never our culture, especially for Sabah indigenous people. The native community in Sabah clearly has a legitimate claim against the State Government for neglects and breach of duty in defending protecting and preserving the rights and interests of the native community in Sabah" Kong said.
"The natives of Sabah are running out of time. It is now or never. In reality, the natives are not only demanding respect for their land rights and ownership of property which were legally belonging to them, they are in fact preserving, defending and protecting their livelihood, survival as well as culture, tradition and custom." Kong said.

what happened to KDM based component parties in BN? May be the PBS' silent approach is at work at again. KDM community can look elsewhere and forget about PBS, UPKO, PBRS and UMNO if you want to protect and maintain your land, livelihood and survival. Save yourself and support PKR.ReplyDelete

How much night sleep should 8 week old baby do?
My 8 week old little darling is great. The oly thing i'm unsure about is, how much should a baby sleep at this age. I start trying to get her to sleep for about 9pm. sometimes she sleeps straight away....other times it can take an hour of crying, comforting, giving her milk again, etc. But she does eventually settle nicely in her cot.
She wakes after about 3-4 hours for first nite feed. then again after 3 hours for next feed. Then maybe after 2 hours for another feed. But if she wakes anywhere around 5 or 6am for a feed, thats it! she will not go back to sleep. She knows its daytime...probably because of the light coming thru the curtains. after this, its a nightmare trying to get her to sleep back in the room again. but if I give up and just get up...the after some time, she will happily sleep in her bouncer in the kitchen or living room! By this time I can't go back to sleep.
Just wondered if anyone else was going thru something similar..if this is expected of an 8 week old bubba. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
I will be changing those curtains soon

What you've described certainly isn't untypical for an 8wk old. In fact, at that age, it's more usual to talk about the sleep they get in a 24hr period rather than just at night.
Have you thought about putting your LO down earlier so that the first night feed might coincide better with when you go to bed? eg. pre-bedtime feed at 6.30pm, put her down at 7pm then feed at 10.30pm as you're going to bed. She might then go through 2.30pm before the next one.
It's also quite possible she could be overtired by 9pm and therefore struggles to settle into a good sleep rhythm. There is a school of thought that says that the more sleep babies get before midnight, the better (core sleep).Mummy to a Gorgeous Girl (12) and a Brilliant Boy (10)

i found with my girls that when you get a good feeding routine going you can get them down early and for both of you to get a good night sleep
i did
7am,10.45-11am,2/2.15,6.15 and a dreem feed at 10.30 that way there should only be 1 waking in the night
for the sleeping i did
9-945,12noon-2/2.15 and 4.45-5pm
it doesnt have to be spot on but it worked for me and i found you could work out when they are tired so you could put them, down so they dont get over tired
good luck

My 8wk old, eats in regular 3 - 4hr intervals during the day, and at night , we try and bath him before his night feed, which is between 730 / 830. We then bath him, feed him and put him down, so he normally always down by 9pm and he sleeps till 4/5am wakes for a feed and then goes back down till 7/8am.
The last 3 nights however we have made sure he is down by 9pm and he has slept till 6/645am.
We use that Johnsons bathtime products, not sure if it makes a difference but we have noticed a change since using them.Best wishes

My baby is 8 weeks old and recently he has been sleeping through the night great recently a good few hours at a time,i think its due to his routine. Since he was born i have bathed him and fed him at 7 even if it means waking him up from a nap,most of the time he goes down straight away but if not i just leave him with his nightlight on and every now and then pop in and give him his dummy but i dont talk to him. Recently he has been sleeping for a good few hours falling asleep between 7-7:30 and waking up between 2-4am for a feed and falling asleep until 7:30am.Through the day if hes had a good night sleep he has a mid morning nap for about 1 hour,then a nap after dinner for about half hour then a nap mid afternoon for about 1 hour but i do try and encourage him to stay awake for longer during the day.

"Climate change is the biggest conservation challenge facing the Forest Service in the 21st century and contributing to global efforts that help forests mitigate and adapt to climate change is a priority for the Forest Service in California."
Our goal is to retain and restore ecological resilience of the National Forest lands to achieve sustainable ecosystems that provide a broad range of services to humans and other organisms. This goal is based on a commitment to land and resource management that is infused by the principles of Ecological Restoration and driven by policies and practices that are dedicated to make land and water ecosystems more sustainable, more resilient, and healthier.

"This is the Day". to discuss the book.
I took this photo when we took a tour of the Catholic TV studio and saw this beautiful set donated by a secular news station in Boston.
After the live show, I will tape an interview with one of the ladies of "The Gist" a talk show for Catholic women.I have had the privilege of meeting Rachel Balducci and Danielle Bean at several events for Catholic Media, and Carolee McGrath interviewed me last month for "Reel to Reel" the TV show for the Diocese of Springfield. That show will be airing on March 24, and I will link to it here.
I am looking forward to doing the show, and attending the Mass before it, just not the morning commute, as the snow has been falling all day here in New England. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Graeme + Brandon Sanderson + Three Questions = ?
The deal was that I got to ask three questions and Brandon answered them; pretty simple then and thanks to Brandon for answering them. Here's how it went down...
1. On a scale of flashlight to floodlight, how radiant are the words in 'Words of Radiance'?
I would say at least 300 broams' worth, if not more. Full broams.
2. Shard plate and shard blades can win wars, what would you have made out of shard to win the battles in your day?
These are very inventive questions. What would I want made out of this stuff? Someone once suggested a Shardpen. But no, a Shardpen isn't going to work any better than a non-Shardpen. I would say a Shardphone. If I could get a phone that never broke and everything always worked perfectly on it--or a Shardlaptop, that would be awesome.
3. And finally… I know you're a fan of 'Magic: The Gathering'; would you like to see the 'Stormlight Archives' become a card game along the same lines? Do you think it will happen?
In my fondest dreams I can imagine an actual Magic set being done. It's never going to happen. Wizards doesn't do that. I respect them for not doing it. Magic is its own property. It probably wouldn't even make sense. But if I had that chance, then yes. An actual card game would be fun, and you may see us playing with these kinds of ideas. It would be pretty awesome. But my fondest dream would be an actual Magic set, because Magic is kind of my addiction. There are people who are gamers who play a lot of games and appreciate games. I am less one of those, and it's more that I love this one game that I enjoy a lot.
Thanks again to Brandon for taking time out from his schedule which must be jammed solid. If you want to read some more then have a look at the other blogs etc (on the banner) that Brandon has stopped at, it's all good :o)

Sony just made a big mistake: the PlayStation Store in North America on PS4 received its weekly update, and PlayStation mistakenly added a banner page for 'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,' which appears to be the title of this year's game developed by Infinity Ward.
As of this writing, the listing has now been removed from under the Trending Section of the PS Store on PS4.
The PS Store listing did not provide any other details other than just the name of the title. provided no other details on what the game is. Stay tuned for the latest Call of Duty news.

Stand Alone: Published 2/16/15
I own a copy of this book.
Book Synopsis:
Riley Conner wasn't worried about going through the woods. She had done it all school year and had forgotten about her earlier thoughts of being stalked. In her mind, she was safe, away from danger. But as soon as she heard a crunch of leaves and the familiar sense of another presence, all the stalker theories came tumbling back. She remembered trying to run, but being grabbed from behind. She had tried to break away, escape, but the second a warm cloth was pressed to her face, she knew it was over. In the struggle, the trees had swallowed her diary. She wondered now if anyone would ever find it, read it, realize how ignorant she was, and then decide she deserved to be kidnapped. Greg: Riley's missing. To me, she was a stranger. A girl whose name I didn't even recognize. But when I saw her picture and realized our pasts had once entwined, I knew I would have to find her.
My Review:
This is the first book by a local indie author from my area, I have heard she has a second book being published soon and I am most definitely getting my hands on a copy of that one as well. I was really blown away by the writing and story telling skill of Ms. Birks. I believe this comes from a point I have made in other reviews, Ms. Birks is a reader, and when an author is an avid reader it shines through in their own work. When you crawl inside different worlds on a regular basis you learn what makes a good story with compelling multi-dimensional characters, but also how to piece together and more importantly how to reveal a captivating plot. You also get a regular dose of what doesn't work. Ms. Birks shows us in her first book that she has done her homework and learned how to tell a good story.
Most of this shorter novel, it is only 161 pages, is told from the perspective of Greg, but we also get to check in with Riley but mostly through her diary entries read by Greg. Later in the book we get to delve into the mind of the monster responsible for Riley's disappearance as he fills in valuable background information. The three main characters were some of the best developed I've read in first-book authors in some time. Ms. Birks does a great job giving them motivation and history and shows, not tells, us aspects of their personality that brings the characters to life. Even the supporting cast of characters were well thought out and added much to the overall story arch.
The plot was the first thing that really impressed me though. It was quite complex with all sorts of threads that twisted and turned as they wove their way through the pages. I love stories like this, those moments where you see all the pieces come together and you learn how everyone is linked. I did see who the 'bad-guy' was before it was discovered in text, but I think it was meant to be that way. The love-story aspect of the plot was well done too. No pointless love triangles that are so popular, annoying and overdone. This one was quite sweet and Ms. Birks kept us guessing till the very end about how things would end up.
This book doesn't have any classifications on Goodreads, but I would list it as YA, a mystery/thriller with a little light romance thrown in. It is a bit darker tale, but not graphic.
This is a great read, that is only available online, for the vast majority of my followers, and you can find the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million. I hope that many of you give this young, did I forget to mention the author is only 15 years old, indie author a try. I don't think you will be disappointed. She has some serious talent and I hope she continues to share her stories with us. I can't wait to see what she does next!
My Rating: 5 Stars

Some of the lads got stuck into there ACW game (which I'll get round to playing at some stage) While the rest of us played kings of War. So we ended up with four guys playing ECW and 6 playing Kings of War.
First game up I played Glen with his Abyssal army verses my Abyssal's in a 3000 point brawl. We rolled up the pillage scenario and ended up with 6 objectives on the table. My winter blue themed demons looked great up against Glen's Red Devils on the winter white table.
The first few rounds were pretty even, and then things slowly tuned against me as my deployment wasn't that great and my inability to hold up my right flank cost me in the late game. The addition of two regiments of Kin Crossbow men was a good choice and they added that extra range that was lacking in my last army list. In end I lost 2-4 and conceded in turn six with Glen holding 4 objectives
I think at 3000 points game, a few less units and having another horde sized unit would help, but overall not a bad result.
Second game Jason and I tried out he Last Stand scenario from the Destiny of Kings. Jason with his Kingdom of men ended up being the defenders as we played out 2500 points.
|Jason's Defensive deployment
With Jasons deployment done and his horde of Knights on the table in open ground I was a bit stumped on how to tackle them. So I gambled on my Arch Fiend a horde of Morlochs along with an Efreet. I attached all three sides with my main push up the center on my table edge.
Sometimes... The dice just hurt
|The lost Gamble
|The Gargoyles snack attack
On my other flank however my hell hounds and Gargoyles did lots of mauling and ripped through Jason's archers and a few other units. We ground each other down over the seven turns and ended up with precision played chess maneuvers, each of us trying to eek out a win. In the end it was a draw.

For 20 years I have arranged my travels to be home for the Longwood (Florida) Arts & Craft Festival http://www.cfshp.org/festival.html so I can start my Christmas shopping. It's a wonderful time of year in Florida, sweater-weather for us. This event is always the weekend before Thanksgiving and is something I always count on and look forward to.
It isn't easy to create or keep up with traditions when traveling a lot for business. It's difficult to be home for family birthdays or anniversaries, especially when they occur during the workweek. A few weeks ago, I flew to Hong Kong to meet my husband for our wedding anniversary. He was in China and I was in Europe. While it seemed crazy for me to travel so far for a couple of days, we needed something to look forward to besides our daily Skype call (which didn't happen so 'daily' since the time zone challenges are tougher when I'm in Europe than when I am in the U.S.).
Perhaps we started a new tradition this anniversary – to spend this special day together no matter where we may be on the planet (and for my husband to continue his excellent selection of red wine). The cost of the travel may seem high, but not in comparison to the cost that extensive business travel can take on a relationship.
I am homeward-bound from Europe on Saturday so I can be home for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year and steep in lots of traditions.
And to kick off this week full of traditions, on Sunday I will be meandering the streets of the Longwood Arts & Craft Festival, shaking off the jet lag, admiring the handiworks of hundreds of artisans and nibbling on a bag of kettle corn.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?

To better understand what is going on in the Project Rain story I have to quickly introduce the setting.
Imagine a world where computers had their breakthrough in the 19th century and history went quite different from there on. Clockwork machines got more and more sophisticated and valves became the technology of the future. Mankind moved into space and colonized the entire Solar system.
An important stepping stone to the outer planets was the Jupiter moon Europa. Made habitable by skewering it with terraformers giant towers housing vast mechanical AIs, providing warmth and gravity. After a century the moon is covered in a city like a spider web linking all the terraformers with each other.
As the outer Solar system is colonized Europa's days of glory slowly fade away. But it remains a centre of interplanetary commerce attrackting all manners of entrepreneurs and criminals.
Once all easily terraformed places have been colonized tensions rise as the different power blocks eye each others territories with envy. It is only a matter of time until the Great War breaks out, a conflict that envelops all of the Solar system. The conflict goes on for years until in the end the super powers run out of money and the war 'freezes'
Now in this time of an unstable truce during a war that never officially ended, Europa has a second renaissance as a neutral port of call for the great nation states, corporations and criminal syndicates.

"You'll Go Blind!"
Guys -- did your mother ever tell you'd go blind if you masturbated? That's an "old wives' tale" -- there's never been any scientific evidence to support it. Turns out, however, that there may be scientific evidence that you actually could go blind if you take Viagra!
Pfizer may have to tell users of its impotence drug Viagra that it may cause blindness, according to an article in today's WSJ online (see "Impotence-Drug Users' Reports Of Blindness Are Examined").
WSJ: "Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School in the US identified seven men who developed vision problems after taking Viagra ... The seven men, aged between 50 and 69 years old, had all suffered from a swelling of the optic nerve within 36 hours of taking Viagra for erectile dysfunction."
This is a good case study for FDA's plan to notify the public of "emerging" drug risks on a Drug Watch Web site (see "FDA Drug Watch Site Guidelines").
Would this situation merit the placement of Viagra and Cialis, which also had a couple of blindness cases associated with its use, on the Drug Watch site? Pfizer and the FDA are "taking these reports very seriously" and the FDA is "still investigating." According to FDA's draft guidance, this is exactly the scenario during which a drug would be placed on the Drug Watch site.
But, how serious is the risk? After all, 20 million men have taken Viagra since its launch in 1998 and there has been only 14 documented cases of blindness reported. Vision problems are already listed as side effects on the drug's label. The problem with the FDA's plan is that it does not allow nuisances -- either a drug is listed on the site or it is not.
Under the color-coded scheme I proposed recently (see "Proposed Drug Risk Advisory System"), drugs on the Drug Watch site would be assigned a risk level ranging from GUARDED to ELEVATED to HIGH to SEVERE. Following this scheme, I would give Viagra an "ELEVATED" risk rating to start with. This would alert physicians and patients that it may be a good idea to perform some tests for vision problems; e.g., check for a swelling of the optic nerve within 36 hours of taking Viagra, which was what the University of Minnesota Medical School reserachers did with their subjects. I really don't know if this is practical in a clinical setting, but consumers could be urged to see their physicians if they experience any vision problems and their physicians can determine what, if any, tests should be done.
If, upon further investigation, more convincing evidence of this dangerous, although rare, side effect is found, then the risk level could be raised to HIGH, but only if the FDA determines that a black box warning is warranted. This is where restrictions on DTC come into play. Drugs with a black box warning cannot run ads that mention the product without mentioning also the condition it treats and known side effects. Of course, in all other DTC ads, the new side effect would have to be mentioned.

THE AUSCHWITZ TATTOO WAS ORIGINALLY AN IBM CODE NUMBERPosted by param_the_hacker at 9:33 AM
The tattooed numbers on the forearms of people held and killed in Nazi concentration camps have become a chilling symbol of hatred. Victims were stamped with the indelible number in a dehumanizing effort to keep track of them like widgets in the supply chain.
These numbers obviously weren't chosen at random. They were part of a coded system, with each number tracked as the unlucky person who bore it was moved through the system. Edwin Black made headlines in 2001 when his painstakingly researched book, IBM and the Holocaust, showed that IBM machines were used to automate the "Final Solution" and the jackbooted takeover of Europe. Worse, he showed that the top levels of the company either knew or willfully turned a blind eye. A year and a half after that book gave Big Blue a black eye, the author made more startling discoveries. IBM equipment was on-site at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Furthermore:
Thanks to the new discoveries, researchers can now trace how Hollerith numbers assigned to inmates evolved into the horrific tattooed numbers so symbolic of the Nazi era. (Herman Hollerith was the German American who first automated US census information in the late 19th century and founded the company that became IBM. Hollerith's name became synonymous with the machines and the Nazi "departments" that operated them.) In one case, records show, a timber merchant from Bendzin, Poland, arrived at Auschwitz in August 1943 and was assigned a characteristic five-digit IBM Hollerith number, 44673. The number was part of a custom punch-card system devised by IBM to track prisoners in all Nazi concentration camps, including the slave labor at Auschwitz. Later in the summer of 1943, the Polish timber merchant's same five-digit Hollerith number, 44673, was tattooed on his forearm. Eventually, during the summer of 1943, all non-Germans at Auschwitz were similarly tattooed.
The Hollerith numbering system was soon scrapped at Auschwitz because so many inmates died. Eventually, the Nazis developed their own haphazard system.

starbucks coming to nw hoboken metrostop?
OMG is it really true?
Focusing on the thriving new community of northwest Hoboken, New Jersey. Check back often for updates on residential, retail, and transportation highlights, as well as social news, community progress, and other local shenanigans. Welcome to the neighborhood- remember to smile and say hello!
OMG is it really true?
Posted by Hoboken Hero at 6:02 PM
Labels: Developer News, Hoboken, Metrostop, Restaurants, Retail, Services
Isn't Congress st. at the top of the elevator at the 9th St. station? If so, isn't that Jersey City?
My real estate broker said they're moving in to MetroStop, but they haven't signed a lease yet (but that was a month ago). Would be great to have them in the area!
Initial intent for Metrostop was to have Starbucks. Actually some renderings of the property have the Starbacks in it. Its not final as of yet but according to the old sales team they thought it was going to go through. It is definitely a cafe of some sort though -
Also, the light rail stop is considered to be at 9th and Congress, that is where the confusino is coming into play concerning the address.
First, I wouldn't trust real estate brokers, they will and do say anything. Second, there is no confusion on my end with the name of the light rail stop. The address for the Starbucks is 90 Congress St which is at the top of the elevator in JC Heights.
I guess we'll have to wait until either Starbucks or Metrostop clarifies the situation.
The address for Metrostop is 800 Jackson st. so I am not sure why there is confusion when the address for the Starbucks is 90 Congres....On another note the Metrostop building is coming along great. It will be a great addition to the area. Whether it is a Starbucks or not, any store in that bulding should do well.
I don't see why Starbucks would want to be at the top of the elevator when all the people paying tons of money for brand new apartments are living at the bottom. But like HH says, we'll just have to wait and see. Just hope something goes in sooner than later!
click on the pics of MS - Starbucks is in the building. Mystery solved.
Now we have a new mystery, what was the artist on when he drew that picture. I live in that area. They make that building look like it is in the middle of a park. Harsh reality when you actually walk that block and see it is in transition.I hope that block turns out that way, but don't hold your breath.

Changing Perspectives (A Montgomery Family Novel Book 2) by Tamara Hoffa
Angelina Montgomery's biggest worries were graduating her Master's degree program and finding time for a social life. The voluptuous brunette crooned sweet love songs to the crowds of the Cowboy Saloon every weekend, but hadn't been on a date in almost a year. When flowers and gifts started arriving at her door from a secret admirer she was initially flattered. But when her car was broken into that inclination changed to fear.Retired Army Ranger Luiz Hernandez was one of Omega Team's top agents. His Cuban heritage and scared visage made him the perfect man to infiltrate South American drug cartels. So why the hell were Grey and Athena sending him to babysit a co-ed with a stalker? He didn't want the assignment, but he would do his duty.
That duty changed when he set eyes on Angelina, and he had a new mission…capture her heart.
Nothing would stand in the way of a Ranger and his goal. Not age, emotional baggage, and certainly not a mad man hiding in the shadows.
Death Sentence by Tina Donahue
She'll risk everything for justice…He'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe…and in his arms.
Greed and corruption rule at Zephron Correctional Institute for Women. A prisoner dies. The official ruling suicide.
Hallie Reyes knows it's murder. Driven to protect the other inmates, she hires The Omega Team to infiltrate the prison where she works as a nurse. The agency sends Chase Wallace, a former Army Ranger. He's tall, dark, deliciously male. Temptation Hallie doesn't need but can't resist.
Chase has been on dangerous missions before but never with a woman like Hallie. Fearless and determined, she's everything he's wanted and won't chance losing.
Even if he has to take the entire prison down.
Running With Risk by Shaye Harting
Clarence "Risk" Campbell turned in his spurs for Night Stalker wings in the army. Now a new member of the Omega Team, his first mission—to extract the daughter of a congresswoman from a worn-torn country—has gone sideways when the woman insists that the real danger lies with her mother. Determined to complete his mission the best way he knows how, Risk brings the feisty, yet alluring, woman back to his family's ranch in Wyoming. It's the one place he's sure he can keep her safe, whatever the danger, unless that danger comes from his growing desire for her.
Dr. Ruth Cabot turned her back on the socialite life and has dedicated herself to practicing medicine where people need her the most. The last thing she expects is for a flying cowboy to snatch her up and literally carry her off. Having spent the last few years avoiding attempts on her life, she has no intention of letting Risk deposit her back in the arms of the enemy. Avoiding the temptation of his protective embrace is another story.
With both their careers and lives on the line, Risk and Ruth form an alliance born of heat and need. They're flying by the seat of their pants as they navigate around the mounting danger and their growing attraction.
Love: Classified by Liz Crowe
When a spring morning fog shuts down the Detroit Metro airport, Omega Team member Joey Preston is stranded along with thousands of others—including one harried young woman trying to get home to Kentucky.
Paige DiFerrari thanks fate for keeping her on the ground in Detroit, since all she really has waiting for her back home are disapproving parents and a wedding weekend her prettier, more successful, younger sister has planned. Preoccupied with thoughts of escaping the ordeal completely, thanks to the weather, she turns a corner of the crowded airport, gets coffee dumped down her front thanks to Joey, and her life changes forever.
What starts as a trick to convince her parents she has a cute, private security employed boyfriend, ends in a way neither Joey nor Paige expect once they get home and encounter the full force of the DiFerrari family dysfunction in the face of a stressful weekend. Before Joey leaves Kentucky for his next assignment, he must confront his feelings about Paige—the good and the bad—as well as reveal the truth about himself.
The Wild One (The Tutores Book 1) by Riley Murphy
Ben Montgomery is the Omega Team member you can always count on to keep a cool head if a mission heads south. He's dedicated himself to his work and protecting those he works with. When he is called for a solo mission to play the hot-and-heavy boyfriend to a young woman for the weekend at her family home in Key West because he's a Dom, he nearly passes on the job. Until he finds out her brother-in-law is the celebrity attorney who got a dangerous killer off on a technicality. The very serial killer who Ben believes murdered one of his partners. Now there was no way he can turn the mission down.
Medical Examiner Margret "Daisy" Keller likes dead people. They don't talk. But she needs more than silence right now. She needs two things—to finally find out the truth behind her sister's disappearance three years ago and to get her career as an M.E. for Hillsborough County back on track.
As lines between them blur, Ben realizes things aren't exactly as they seem. Daisy is hiding something from him. What he doesn't know is how far she's willing to go to keep him in the dark…or why.

Hello my friends
Shaving cream wasn't the only thing I got into yesterday. I have been wanted to get out my Gelli plate for a little fun, so I also took that with me to the art club. It's great there, I have lots of room to spread out!
Here's a look at some of the deli paper, Gelli prints I created for collaging.
Have I mentioned how much I love my Gelli plate!
I think I should be good for collage papers for a little while now.
Needless to say, I had some fun, yesterday and thanks for letting me share it with you. Have an awesome and artful day!

Morpho Population Crash
The life of a butterfly farmer sounds idyllic. Most people who do it are pursuing a deep interest in either the insects themselves, or in preserving their habitat. Most butterfly farmers love their work.
But in the end, butterfly farming, like all farming, is an unpredictable and risky undertaking. Many things can go wrong. However well prepared butterfly farmers may be, they can still experience devastating crop failure.
We recently heard from one of the vendors of our magnificent Blue Morpho butterflies (Morpho peliedes). This vendor had to start the year with one of the most difficult decisions of their 22 years of existence, but also one of a most necessary nature: Eliminating their entire blue morpho breeding stock, including adults, pupae, eggs and young.
Their breeding stock was showing a large group-genetic malformation. We received one shipment before the problem was identified. We saw some of the butterflies that exhibited this genetic condition - which consists of butterflies emerging with curly wings and completely unable to fly.
Although this was not the first time we've had a group of pupae mysteriously fail to develop, and as much as it saddened us to lose them, it is reassuring to know that there was an underlying explanation for the loss. While the problem is dealt with, we will not be getting Blue Morphos from this source – probably for the next five weeks or so.

exercise Configuration Tweaks to Eliminate Mozilla Firefox tedious to Load Issues
Anytime you are browsing the web, the browser plays very principal role in determining how your experience would be and this is the reason Mozilla Firefox insensible to load questions has gained prominence among internet users in novel time. Mozilla Firefox is unarguably the fastest internet browser at the moment but it can monotonous down sometimes due to some reasons.
If you had enjoyed the hurry of Firefox before now and would like to accumulate that race relieve, there clear Firefox configuration tweaks you can easily do to rush up your browser. There are lots of journals on how best to hasten up Firefox but our anxiety here is to give you practical guide on how you can easily derive your Firefox configured for the grand needed faster browsing.
Mozilla Firefox insensible to load would prefer to be any stutter for you by the time you follow these four easy configuration tweaks.
The first thing you should do moral away is type 'about:config' in your mozilla browser. You will look the following lines; "network.http.pipelining", "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", "network.http.proxy.pipelining", "network.http.pipelining", network.dns.disableIPv6", and then, "plugin.expose_full_path". You can easily search for any of these lines by typing any of the lines in the filter bar of your browser.
The moment you accumulate any of the lines, you must change the values one after the other to 'TRUE' except one of the lines. For instance, you are going to change all these lines values to 'TRUE'; thus; 'network.http.pipelining', 'network.http.proxy.pipelining', 'network.http.pipelining', 'plugin.expose_full_path'. The only line that its value wouldn't be 'true' is the 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'. It has to be clicked severally to regain the value 30.
When you have successfully finished with the above configurations, it is now time to work closely on the filter bar. fair type "network.protocol-handler.external.ms-help" on the filter bar. fair right-click on it, then settle the 'NEW', and then choose 'INTEGER'.
Immediately after that, type 'content.declare.backoffcount" on the original INTEGER Value box and then simply click 'OK'. Then type '5' on the Enter Integer value box and click 'OK' too.
Then again, right-click on "network.protocol-handler.external.ms-help" and compose determined you determine 'NEW, then capture 'INTEGER'.
On the fresh integer value box, simply type "ui.submenuDelay" and then click 'OK' here. You will seek a set where you are asked to assign the value of the integer, unprejudiced Input 0 on the Enter Integer Value box and then click 'OK' too.
Now, it is vital to point out that these configurations would only work if you are careful enough and apply them as stated here. For example, we have had issues with some people that would 'forget to click 'ok' in the current integer and near abet to complain that they didn't peer any important hasten. Do all that are stipulated and you would be surprised that the hasten of your browser is going to be faster than it has ever been before the configuration.
Mozilla Firefox tiring, to load shouldn't continue to be an command once you successfully have your browser reconfigured.

"If God didn't exist, Jesus would have died in vain. Therefore God exists."On Twitter I have replied Dawkins by suggesting him to imagine a Divine Frog. I wrote the following statements.
"My Sunday School teacher (my Madrasah teacher etc) told me God exists. Therefore God exists."
"When you die and go to hell, you'll soon discover that God exists. Oh yes. Oh yes indeed. Just you wait. Ho ho. Therefore God exists."
"If God didn't exist, there'd be nothing to stop me killing and stealing. Therefore God exists."
"If God didn't exist, my entire life dedicated to his service would have been pointless. Therefore God exists."
"People need their God. Therefore God exists. Or even if he doesn't, it's good for those poor little people who need him. So shut up."
Prof. Dawkins, this is an image of a Divine Frog. You can believe in it, even worship it. The real issue is not whether this Frog God exists or not, but whether this Frog God can make you a good and noble man or not. The real issue is not divine ontology, but social ethics. If this Frog God can make you a great and noble man, this Frog God has functioned ethically to the full.
Prof. Dawkins, why do you let yourself again and again entrapped in traditional debates about divine ontology, whileas the real issue is the socioethical functions of various religions in the world? The essential function of religions is to make anybody good and noble, not to make villains.
Imagine again this Frog God. I hope you are going to like this god and never again mock any gods. I hope, after you ponder on this Frog God, you will change into a kind, great, wise, dignified, serene, calm and friendly old man. If this happens to you, I shall thank the Frog God.
If you don't have ears, you can listen. But if you have ears, you cannot listen.

You Too Can Make A Christmas Wreath Sampler!
Each and every year I challenge myself to come with a Christmas Wreath that is different than the prior year. Having used almost every material imaginable in prior years, I decided to create a wreath using the many botanical riches found on the property surrounding my home.
Pictured below are cuttings from all the coniferous trees and shrubs
I discovered scavenging for pine-cones, moss and lichen covered branches.
One 18" styrofoam wreath and a bag of 100 greening pins from your craft
or floral supply store, and your off and running. The best part is how easily
and quickly you can put it all together using a white styrofoam wreath as
opposed to the traditional wire wreath.
The key to using a white styrofoam wreath is to completely cover the base with
thick amounts of greenery. Use greening pins to effortlessly attach the
greenery and branches.
Working right to left, add bands of plant material one variety at a time.
My wreath includes, rhododendron, yew, holly, hemlock, moss, lichen
covered branches, blue spruce, juniper and boxwood.
Now make YOUR Christmas Wreath.
It's fast and easy!

To Be or Not to Be
We heard much about the demise of Greenwich Playhouse over the past few months. Apparently Galleon Theatre are looking at the stables at Charlton House as a new home, which could be an interesting proposition (though less convenient for people coming from London – it's close to Charlton station but we all know what people who don't come to South East London are like when it comes to not wanting to venture into places they've not heard of…)
Which means that now, there is a space free. And, as you can see, it's very free. All mention of Greenwich Playhouse has been painted out, the posters are gone, there's nothing to say there was ever a theatre there.
The reason I didn't go absolutely ballistic over the ending of the lease with Galleon was this article in The Wharf where the landlord of Beds and Bars who own the building says that they are not looking to pack the place full of extra bunks to cash in on the Olympics. In the words of Edmund Passey, Group Operations Director:
"We're looking at what we can do with it and have made no application to change the space.
"The only difference is we're now the landowners of the site and we're not looking to have one theatre company running it."
I took that as being a multi-theatre company venture, perhaps a theatre space for hire, like so many of the fringe theatres in the centre of London.
So, Edmund Passey, when are we going to see this happen, then? Certainly the first phase, that of obliterating the former occupants of the theatre, seems complete (albeit harsh, they are as much a part of the place's history as any other). The next few months will show the real colours of Beds and Bars but I have faith.
I look forward to sitting in the front (read 'only') row of the next production at the space formerly known as the Greenwich Playhouse as a lovely diversion for all the occupants of other hotels during the Olympics.

Research is too often a crutch or a blanket of justification. Originally, good research would seek to test an hypothesis or find fresh insight to take the business forward. The commissioning of research is often delegated without full consideration of what else is possible or could be done. Alternatively, it is analysed with regard to justifying the research. Too much research output is information (telling you what you already know) vs insight which provides fuel to allow you to question existing behaviours or generate fresh hypothesis for new ideas.

Added to his experience as a facilitator – and the possiblities and changes brought about by the digital world – this makes Mark a particularly informed/contemporary market researcher.
