Lyme Regis in the 16th century
The 16th century Cobb was a miracle of engineering for its time, and described by the Elizabethan chronicler Holinshed as "a great and costly jetty". It required constant maintenance, and in the 1620s Thomas Gerard described how stones to reinforce the Cobb were carried there buoyed up by empty wooden casks.
A scale model of the Cobb as it would have looked in Elizabethan times, made by David West, is on display in Lyme Regis Museum.

Take charge of your startupDate posted: 8/27/15 10:00:00 AM
Why do so many small businesses fail?
It's a troubling question for many potential small business owners, and it's not easily solved. According to a report from Bloomberg, eight out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fall flat within 18 months of opening.
Eric Wagner, a contributor at Forbes, believes that many startups fail because the company doesn't know how to communicate with its market. Wagner said business owners need to walk 1,000 miles in the shoes of their target market, adding that it's vital to have real dialogue - whatever the channel - with prospective consumers.
So, if you are starting a business, that means talking to as many people as you can about the company and the services or products you offer. Wagner claimed this will give you a better feel for what customers need or want and what they might be interested in.
Nathan Furr and Paul Ahlstrom, co-authors of the book 'Nail It, Then Scale It', asked: "Which would you rather do - talk to customers now and find out you were wrong or talk to customers a year and thousands of dollars down the road and still find out you were wrong?"
Getting out there and communicating is the basic building block for many companies.
Saving money as a business
Expenses add up quickly for many companies, which is why it's a good idea to always look at your budget and ways to be frugal. One method to consider is cutting down on your company's outsourcing. While you won't be able to do every project in-house, there are certain jobs that you'll be able to do in-house to save cash.
Matthew Reischer, CEO of LegalAdvice.com, told Mashable that savvy small business owners should try to learn about Internet marketing.
"He can execute some easy strategies himself and save some money in the process," Reischer said. "Try to have a mindset that recognizes that we are in a era where you can use technology as a megaphone for most of your marketing efforts. The trick is to always realize when you can do something yourself as opposed to hiring expensive outside help."
Prioritize word-of-mouth referrals
Nothing is as influential to consumers as a positive recommendation, which is why Jenny Karn, co-founder and vice president of public relations firm Beutler Ink, believes that word-of-mouth referrals are vital to a company's success.
"Nothing is more valuable for our business than a glowing word-of-mouth referral, especially from individuals well respected in the industry," Karn told Mashable. "Knowing this, we've been open to taking on projects that aren't highly profitable, trusting that developing those relationships will help us in the long-run."
Karn said the ability to do so has helped her company land a flood of new clients that they would never have met on their own.
Internships can cut costs
Does your business lack the funds to hire additional manpower? If so, it might be time to consider offering internships to current students or recent graduates.
"Small business owners should be all about scaling flexibly and making very few long-term commitments to full-time hires, service providers, etc.," Rob Biederman, cofounder of HourlyNerd, told Mashable. "Finding services where you can pay solely for what you need (and scale quickly) is the name of the game for small businesses."
Not only will interns come at a cheaper price - and do so because many want to beef up their resumes - but you might find a potential full-time employee somewhere in the mix. Finding young, enthusiastic employees is becoming increasingly hard for many business owners, as competition grows in the job market. If you find a great intern, it might be wise to stay in touch and contact them later if a full-time opening becomes available.

The Chesterfield Area Walking Festival boasts two weeks of guided walking activities taking in the beautiful Chesterfield landscape.
From the 12th – 20th May 2012, you can choose from over 55 walks, many of them free of charge.
Enjoy the Chesterfield area on foot, discovering pretty villages, exploring beautiful bluebell woods or treading the Cuckoo Way alongside the 'Haunted Canal'.
Take in some history as you follow in Elizabeth Shrewsbury's footsteps around Hardwick, get up with the birds to hear the dawn chorus or follow the Chesterfield Murder Walk – if you dare!
Looking for a challenge? Try the Chesterfield Round Walk, a 34 mile trek through countryside surrounding the town. Or brave the 20 mile Beast of Bolsover.
If that's all too much, try the Five Circular Walks – five walks of around 10 miles each through a variety of countryside.
Most walks are free so there's no excuse not to join in, and every excuse to have a pint at the end of several of them. All are led by a fully trained guide who knows the history, wildlife and the best countryside to walk through (as well as the best pubs to visit) in the beautiful Chesterfield landscape.
The Chesterfield Area Walking Festival website lists the events daily with clear information about facilities, suitability and booking details.

Tabling Quotes
I don't see any point in tabling the action. My impression is there are three council members who are opposed to the idea of giving the honorary name of Jim Kelly Way to Mason Road. To continue the hearing because they don't want the idea of honoring Jim Kelly to go away is not the right action to take. If they want to pursue the idea of naming something after Jim Kelly, then the other option should be pursued, but not through this proposal ... I understand Mayor Mike Edwards would consider tabling it to wait to see how Sunrise West's subdivision is finally platted, but if there are three people who are opposed to it, then there should be no reason to table it. - Tim Scott

|NZ quilt, finished ahead of deadline!
With the fabrics reminding me of the 70's, I thought this quilt could look really lovely if it had a vintage appearance, so with the last stitch of the binding done, the quilt headed straight to the washing machine. It is now so soft, and to us, very retro 70's. We love it.

Long hours make people more likely to drink heavily
WORK hard, drink hard. The largest ever analysis of working hours and alcohol consumption has found that people who work over 48 hours a week drink more than people with standard working weeks.
Marianna Virtanen at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in Helsinki and her colleagues pulled together data about more than 330,000 people from 14 countries, including the US, UK and Germany.
Their study is the first to calculate how likely hard-workers are to develop potentially dangerous drinking habits. Compared with a standard 35 to 40-hour week, people working between 49 and 54 hours a week were 13 per cent more likely to drink at "risky" levels – defined as 14 drinks a week for women, and 21 drinks a week for men. This was the case regardless of gender, location or socioeconomic group (The BMJ, DOI: 10.1136/bmj.g7772).
The study provides strong backing for the European Union Working Time Directive, which gives those in EU countries the right to work no more than a 48-hour week. But many still end up putting in over 50 hours to earn faster promotions or strive for a living wage through overtime.

Children are admitted to the school according to the guidelines laid down by Southwark Education Authority. For more information please visit the Southwark School Admissions website.
The admissions criteria we follow for Nursery are:
- Children in public care (looked after children)
- Children with educational, medical or social needs where professional advice indicates that placement would be beneficial; this includes children with a statement of special educational needs which names the nursery class
- Children who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of entry
- Children for whom it is their nearest nursery class or nursery school
- Age - in order to maintain a balance of children of 3 and 4 years old
Goodrich Nursery
The Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS)
sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well
ensures children are kept healthy and safe
ensures that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school
In the UK, all children aged 3 and 4 are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery funding a week. This national funding scheme at Goodrich nursery is taken over 5 morning or afternoon sessions from Monday to Friday 12.40-3.40.
At Goodrich we aim to provide children with the best start to their learning journey. This is done through well planned activities based on observations and the children's interests.
Staff create a stimulating environment both indoors and outdoors where children can lead their own learning, challenge themselves and take risks. Ensuring children feel safe and secure, promoting independence at all times.
Your child can begin nursery the term after their 3rd birthday.
If their birthday falls between 1st September 2013 and 31st August 2014 and you are interested in taking up a place with us, please contact the school office or fill in the online application.
Click here to download an application form.
Reception and Year 1 to Year 6
Admissions is carried out by Southwark Education Authority only. Parents must apply through Southwark Admissions on 020 7525 5337. Alternatively, applications can be made online at www.southwark.gov.uk/schooladmissions.
If a child is refused a place parents may appeal against the decision. The Appeals Committee is an independent tribunal set up to examine each case to see if the particular circumstances warrant the place above maximum numbers set for the school. Further information on the appeals procedure is available from the school.
As far as the school itself is concerned, all prospective parents are encouraged to visit the school for one of our pre-arranged tours, which take place on alternate Mondays. We firmly believe that good education can best be achieved when parents, teachers and children work together for common aims. Parents must satisfy themselves that the school is providing what they expect and that their child will be happy. The best way of checking that this school will meet your needs is to visit and see for yourself.
If you wish to visit the school please call in at the office to arrange a place on a Thursday tour (or telephone 020 8693 1050).

#SkillIndiaNo more Scam India, it's Skill India now: New Mantra from Modi
Is it true as BJP claims that the PM, Narendra Modi has taken India to heights or the scene is just opposite to it?
It has been well established during all Mr. Modi's foreign visits has religiously used international platforms to criticize the previous Govts of India heavily talking about their series of scams and without fail, he goes in self-praise-mode too. He refers to multiple national issues and policies that were not addressed properly before in India holding the Congress responsible for all the mess India is facing at the moment and doesn't forget to add as many new positive policies & steps to his credit.
The Congress believes that Mr. Modi has not only undermined INDIA'S IMAGE but the dignity of his highest post by taking jibes at the previous governments. "The ones who had spread filth are gone and done with, he (Namo) is busy cleaning the grime currently and it is going to take some time since India is a large country, said PM Modi in one of his recent speeches in Canada.
'Our Spokespersons Will Trail PM Modi on Foreign Trips, Rebut Him', Says Congress
|Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper arrive at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto on Wednesday.
I hardly get along with Mr. Digvijay's views in general but on this issue I would subscribe to General Secretary of Congress who posted tweets that when a head of state visits abroad, he represents the entire nation. He added that Mr. Modi's speeches are divisive, defamatory, malicious and not based on facts. In Paris too Mr. Modi had launched his offensive against UPA that it had allocated coal blocks like one gives away a pen and handkerchief. Though Mr. Modi is right about it but he is not contesting elections any longer there, is he?

Since we are having so much fun with the mini dolls this week, it is the perfect opportunity to take a look at some retired mini dolls!
From Kristen L.– These are the 25th Anniversary American Girl Mini Dolls.
Each month introduced a new mini doll. I have Samantha, Kaya, and Marie-Grace.
From Angie (http://m.youtube.com/user/
From Linda – Throwback Thursday Mini Dolls Most of these are Madame Alexander Dolls from McDonalds, dated 2002 through 2010. I have many more including the whole set of Wizard of Oz, deep in a closet. The top middle doll is a Vogue Ginny doll dated 1977. Next to her are Spock and two other Star Trek dolls. The other non Madame Alexander doll is a Fisher Price doll dated 1979.
I found this Polly Pocket set at a flea market for only 25c a couple weeks ago! Sadly the dolls are missing but it still brings back great memories of the sets my younger sister and I used to have. This particular set is "Polly's Dinner Party" and was made in 1994. It originally had 3 dolls, and lit up when opened. ~Autumn
From Tony – Felicity's doll, Susannah Maria Augusta Eliza Lucy Louise, is getting ready to have her morning strawberries. She is the 2nd version and was retired in 2009.
From Fawn – Both troll dolls are from the early 1960's. The one with the orange hair is a DAM, 2″ tall, and belongs to my husband.
The one with the white hair is mine. It is a Wishnik.
Also from Fawn – The little girl is a Betsy McCall from the late 50s or early 60s. She is 6″ tall, has jointed knees, a rooted wig and sleepy eyes.
I wish I knew where to get her a new pair of shoes. (Note from Char – try www.dollspart.com – they have everything for vintage dolls!)
Thank to my Grandma for sending me these pictures! The photo below is of my great grandparents wedding cake topper dolls! These dolls are from the 1930's-1940's. I'm not exactly sure what year they're from as they look very old but my great grandparents were married in 1940. The little baby dolls below, are my grandma's from when she was young. I'm not sure what brand they are but they say "Japan" on the back and are full dolls under the blankets. If have anyone has any info on the baby dolls, it would be greatly appreciated! -Vivian
The next few are from Madelon – I don't know much about this cutie. Does anyone know who she is?
Mini Saige from Madelon
Mini Saige ready to ride!
Madame Alexander Cowardly Lion and Barbie Kelly Easter.
Retired Addy Mini
Mini Saige as Dorothy with the Scarecrow and Lion.
I'm Waffle and I have the retired Mini doll Samantha with all six books and a tiny book for my Samantha.
Thanks to all who sent in photos! They are all just so mini-rific!!
For next week, let's take another look at retired American Girl of the Year 2006 Jess (I really wish we would have bought her when we were at AG in 2006). Send photos of Jess and any of her collection to me at share@dolldiaries. com. Please put THROWBACK JESS in the subject line so I can find your email.

Two New Jay Electronica Songs
Hardcore hip-hop fans and dedicated blog hunters already know, but for all you other earth dwellers, here's 2 new interesting tracks by Jay Electronica to celebrate his signing to Jay-Z's ROC Nation record label.
Jay Electronica – Shiny Suit Theory (ft. Jay-Z & The Dream)
Jay Electronica – The Announcement (ft. JFK speech)
Btw, also re-discovering his two biggest tracks so far, Exhibit A and Exhibit C, both produced by Just Blaze. DAMN, this man can rhyme. So effortless and intricate at the same time. Don't even know where to begin quoting him. And that voice. Put-on-repeat kind of music, proving intelligent real hip-hop is still alive in 2010.. Looking forward to that full album.

Get your Fix At Dilla's Donut Shop
Good news for James Yancey / Jay Dee / Dilla fans – get 6 new dope instrumentals for FREE (in 320Kbps quality) if you sign up for Stones Throw's mailinglist now.
Donut Shop interestingly enough is a combination of a Serato Scratch control record set (for use with the popular DJ software of the same name that enables you to DJ with your laptop – a development of the last 5 to 10 years that some dj's spinning real vinyl strongly dislike), slipmats and a record containing these 6 Dilla instrumentals. Worlds colliding or growing closer?
Either way. What you're waiting for?! GO!!

Bit quiet in here last month, sorry for that. Summertime in Amsterdam can do that to you. Been working, spending time with friends and family, dj-ing a bit (guesting at Wicked Jazz Sounds was fire! Big up to Phil, Manne, Leroy and crew) and soaking up a lot of live music.
Anyway, for those who have not yet checked out Janelle Monae's fantastic album The ArchAndroid, just wanna urge you to do so. Twenty-first century soul music hasn't sounded this fresh, diverse and addictive in a loooong time. Also if you don't consider yourself a soul music fan, but just are into good music in general, don't miss out! From cinematic orchestral pieces, folky dreamy pop songs, punky soul to futuristic afro funk, Janelle lays it down.
Above is one of my favorites (apart from the obvious instant classic Tightrope), featuring the kind of forgotten spoken word artist Saul Williams. Dope, pure and uncut.
Now it's time i head on over to Amsterdam's only free hip-hop festival in a park Appelsap – 10 Years featuring my man Rich Medina, Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, La Melodia, The Clipse etc..

Music From & For Haiti
A bit late, but i want to shine some extra light on a post by producer/dj Chuck Wild (aka Captain Planet) on his music blog Mixtaperiot.
He offers an exclusive mixtape of Haitian music in return for a donation to Partners In Health (a help organization that has been active in Haiti for many years).
Great iniative, clever title and – based on the quality of music he normally posts – dope music. Have a look and see if you would like to support this good cause too.
Music = the answer

"Buff" typically refers to the color of a dog's coat. Buff dogs are usually a light brown or tan color but can also be golden, blond, tan or red. Buff is also often used to describe the coat color of cats.
Besides being used as a description of coat color, "buff" may also be used to refer to a dog's muscular physique, just as it is often used as a slang word to refer to a human's physique. For example, BuffDogs.com belongs to a dog breeder in Denver, Colo., who is known for breeding muscular bulldogs, and BuffDog Canine Fitness Center in Santa Ana, Calif., specializes in canine fitness and agility.

Suffolk Archaeology can provide a full range of archaeological field investigation techniques to either establish a sites potential for archaeological deposits or to record such deposits in full prior to development…
Trial trench investigation is usually the principle or final stage in establishing the character, extent, quality and preservation of a sites archaeological resource or other heritage assets, and is typically required for the purposes of assessing the implication of heritage issues for a sites development and the formulating of an appropriate conservation or mitigation strategy.
Suffolk Archaeology can carry out any size of evaluation project, from the smallest single 10m trench through to the 5% investigation of c.100ha+ developments. Our comprehensive, fully illustrated, project reports typically determine the presence or absence of archaeological or palaeoenvironmental deposits on a site, and provide sufficient evidence to allow the planning authority and its Archaeological Advisor to make informed decisions as to the impact of development proposals, and for the client to ascertain potential cost and time implications.
We are able to carry out all sizes and types of archaeological field excavation, from complex urban multi-period sites to extensive rural landscapes, in advance of all types of development. We recognise that the full excavation of a site can be a significant exercise in terms of time and cost for our client and consistently strive to reduce such factors through our use of experienced local staff and efficient project management.
We can provide on-site monitoring of development groundworks, such as building footings or service trenches, to identify and record any archaeological deposits present. Our flexible and reactive service can provide cover at short notice, or deal quickly with any unexpected archaeological remains, to ensure that developments can proceed smoothly.
Sampling of archaeological and environmental deposits usually takes place as a part of evaluation or excavation projects. We can collect bulk or column samples for a wide range of assessment and analysis types, including plant macrofossils, pollen, foraminifera, etc. and acquisition of radiocarbon dates. We can also liaise with, and commission, specialist sub-contractors for more complex palaeoenvironmental sampling programs either as an element of a broader scheme or a stand-alone project.
Suffolk Archaeology (as the Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Field Team) undertook phases of evaluation and excavation fieldwork prior to the construction of a spa on land to the rear of the Swan Hotel, in Lavenham, Suffolk.
Suffolk Archaeology's excavation of a small rural site ahead of the construction works for new houses is a typical example of how archaeological investigation associated with modern development can be used to investigate and record the history of our local communities.
This project, carried out in advance of residential development, identified evidence of prehistoric and Roman occupation, including an unusual linear series of eight complete or near complete animal burials, consisting of a horse, a pig or boar and six cows.

Quirky: the one adjective that if employed in a synopsis or review should cause any thoughtful person to avoid a film so described, and a perfect kiss-of-death salvo for Eagle vs. Shark. This crowd-pleasing New Zealand indie, developed from the Sundance Director's and Screenwriter's Labs (from which the similar Me and You and Everyone You Know emerged) and plucked from the vine by savvy Miramax, is the latest in a recent trend of offbeat, adorable stillbirths about families of barely lovable misfits learning valuable life lessons in a world of kitschy crap. The parade of cute begins right off the bat when fast-food employee Lily (Loren Horsley), an awkward collection of Church Lady grimaces masquerading as a "sensitive dreamer," practices a marriage proposal into her mirror, thus demonstrating that the quirky indie's favorite go-to device – the head-on camera shot at some "ka-razee" character's goofy countenance – is in actuality a symptom of rampant narcissism.

By now you've heard about OpenStack (perhaps you've even tried it out). Now here's your chance to see where it all began—the OpenStack creation story, if you will.
So sit back, drink a warm beverage, and watch the story of how an ambitious team of developers linked up with NASA, built a supergroup of cloud architects, found a partner in Rackspace, and cracked the cloud wide open.

The Law Offices of Tommy James
4220 Cahaba Heights Court, Suite 204
Law Office Locations:
Birmingham, Huntsville
Geographic Areas Served:
All Counties in Alabama
The primary focus of firm attorney Tommy James' practice is representing victims of abuse and neglect, including individuals who have been raped, sexually assaulted or sexually abused. Tommy James also represents the families of individuals who have been incapacitated or killed as a result of abuse and/or neglect. The victims in these cases are often our most vulnerable citizens, including children/teens, children/teens in foster care, the mentally disabled, the mentally ill and the elderly. These incidents of abuse and neglect can occur anywhere, but they often occur in group homes, foster homes, schools, mental health facilities, state facilities, nursing homes and other residential facilities. Children and teens in the foster care system are at especially high risk towards being abused and neglected because of their emotional vulnerability and their sense of helplessness. Former foster children may be reluctant to step forward and seek prosecution for the abuse/neglect inflicted upon them while they were in foster care because of the following reasons:
-False belief that they were somehow responsible for the abuse/neglect
-Desire to just "forget about it" or "leave it in the past" because memories and experiences were so traumatizing
-Perception that they must have a lot of money to seek representation and prosecute the perpetrators of their abuse
Tommy James sensitively works with these former foster youth "survivors" as well as other individuals who have experienced abuse and neglect, reassuring them of their rights and offering them a sense of empowerment through prosecution. Tommy has had a high level of success handling these types of cases, having received settlements and verdicts totaling approximately $20 million over the past few years. This practice area is very specialized and Tommy has handled more of these types of cases than any other attorney in the State of Alabama. Tommy also represents victims of abuse and neglect in other states.

This probably doesn't sound like much for a seasoned professional, but for a beginner like me, signing on for RWA's June challenge of 50,000 words in 30 days (I elected to aim for 30,000 for my first try) seems rather daunting. Regardless, it is one I have taken on board.
I've spoken before about those many ideas spinning around in my head and how each voice screams to be heard and how hard it can be at times to choose just one and follow through. Here was the opportunity I needed to reach in, pick out just one of those ideas and run with it.
My lead male character sprang into life from a picture accompanying a rather cheeky joke. The picture itself wasn't the slightest bit offensive (nor was the joke in my opinion) but I found far more captivation with him than in the actual punch line. Who was he? What had his life been like? How had his life changed from the era depicted given the way he was portrayed compared to the modern world? And more importantly, how did I bring him into a contemporary setting, yet allow him to keep to his traditions? And of course, the fact that he was a handsome specimen was entirely coincidental. :)
To help make this transition easier, I had to have a modern woman take care of him as he assimilated from his time to ours. I'm a paranormal girl. I found a way. ;) She'll do a great job of seeing to his needs. Once she gets over the shock of his 'arrival', that is. And all things being equal, they'll be looking out for each other too. She has her trials to deal with as well.
So, notes written, research references saved, and even a chapter plan to get me under way and I was off and running, er, writing. I'm more of a pantser (letting the characters and the story lead the way or if you prefer – flying by the seat of one's pants) than a plotter so doing a chapter plan 'before' I started on the story was a big thing for me. It's helped immensely but I must admit I'm still winging it as I wait to see what tangents these characters undertake. I've had a discussion with them though. They know that for once I have a rough guideline for them to follow. And I may even stick to it.
The best part about this is that unlike writing in general, it's not a solitary challenge. In between scrawling sentences, pretending to be a domestic goddess and wondering where all the working pens have disappeared to this time, I've been chatting to other writers who are busy traversing works in progress, starting new manuscripts and sharing their experiences. I have no doubt we'll all reach our desired targets and some will go above and beyond them. It's wonderful to have each other for encouragement, motivation and to put us back on track when it seems we're not reaching our personal goals.
Well, I'd best get back to it. To date, I don't have a perfect record but I'd working my hardest to get to that final amount, so there's really one thing left to say.
What do you think my chances are of having today's blog total counting towards my overall score? ;)

|Oxford University Press for International Epidemiological Association
|International Journal of Epidemiology, 2014, 43 (6), pp. 1929-1944
|BACKGROUND: Research in modern biomedicine and social science requires sample sizes so large that they can often only be achieved through a pooled co-analysis of data from several studies. But the pooling of information from individuals in a central database that may be queried by researchers raises important ethico-legal questions and can be controversial. In the UK this has been highlighted by recent debate and controversy relating to the UK's proposed 'care.data' initiative, and these issues reflect important societal and professional concerns about privacy, confidentiality and intellectual property. DataSHIELD provides a novel technological solution that can circumvent some of the most basic challenges in facilitating the access of researchers and other healthcare professionals to individual-level data. METHODS: Commands are sent from a central analysis computer (AC) to several data computers (DCs) storing the data to be co-analysed. The data sets are analysed simultaneously but in parallel. The separate parallelized analyses are linked by non-disclosive summary statistics and commands transmitted back and forth between the DCs and the AC. This paper describes the technical implementation of DataSHIELD using a modified R statistical environment linked to an Opal database deployed behind the computer firewall of each DC. Analysis is controlled through a standard R environment at the AC. RESULTS: Based on this Opal/R implementation, DataSHIELD is currently used by the Healthy Obese Project and the Environmental Core Project (BioSHaRE-EU) for the federated analysis of 10 data sets across eight European countries, and this illustrates the opportunities and challenges presented by the DataSHIELD approach. CONCLUSIONS: DataSHIELD facilitates important research in settings where: (i) a co-analysis of individual-level data from several studies is scientifically necessary but governance restrictions prohibit the release or sharing of some of the required data, and/or render data access unacceptably slow; (ii) a research group (e.g. in a developing nation) is particularly vulnerable to loss of intellectual property-the researchers want to fully share the information held in their data with national and international collaborators, but do not wish to hand over the physical data themselves; and (iii) a data set is to be included in an individual-level co-analysis but the physical size of the data precludes direct transfer to a new site for analysis.

This is Real Life
Guys, moving to a new city/state is stressful. And overwhelming. And exciting. And a whole lot of other things so please forgive my lack of posting on here.
My blood has already thinned out. Once I made it through the brutal heat of August, it took me very little time to adjust to Florida weather. It was 50 degrees the other week and I was freezing. My family in Ohio is ashamed of me and rolling their eyes right now. But seriously guys, I'm bad luck when it comes to weather. My first year here and Florida has its wettest/most humid rainy season in years and TWO TORNADOES THAT ACTUALLY TOUCHED DOWN in the middle of "winter". I mean, come on! Tornadoes?!? Really?
It has been a very different experience moving here than it was moving to and from Italy. Part of me wonders if it has anything to do with the fact that I have all of my belongings here with me, but when I moved to Italy I only had a select few things. How do you decide what are the most important possessions you own? While I can't lie and say that I prefer Florida to Italy, I can definitely say that I feel more comfortable here with all of my stuff.
On top of that, I've been working and trying to make friends. Picking up and moving to a new place without a job already lined up is scary. I'm not ashamed to say that it took longer than I had hoped to find a suitable job. But I do have some advice for others in similar situations: don't just settle and take the first job that's willing to hire you out of desperation. Look for jobs you could truly see yourself happy at, otherwise you are simply wasting everyone's time. Obviously, if you need to take a temporary job to support yourself/family it's another story. Just don't let yourself get trapped there.
I almost became guilty of that, but I am finally untangling myself from that situation. Sadly, it means there is an overlap where I'm working two jobs, so any days off are rare. The only one I've had lately was President's Day. Do you want to know what I did? I went to the movies. Twice. Do you want to know what I saw? How to Be Single. Twice. How many times did I pay for it? Once. BOO-YA. Did I plan this? Nope. So yeah, that's where my life is at right now.

I think you misunderstood the problem. Here are the details: If your patch goes like that into ffmpeg, and then immediately in libav, there is no problem, everything is fine. If your patch goes like that into ffmpeg, but not in libav (or just not immediately), and libav adds another codec id, then their new id will have the same value as ffmpeg's CLLC, and this is a catastrophe from ffmpeg's point of view (although I guess some people in libav would be very glad to break the compatibility). If your patch goes with a fourcc into ffmpeg, and later in libav, then another codec id can be added to ffmpeg to ensure compatibility. Having two codec ids for the same codec is slightly annoying but no more. Regards, -- Nicolas George -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

These look much better on than in typical bottle photos, I just think from your own view point looking down, cuticle to tip, the perspective gives a better proportion to the tip design.
Ever since I got this plate, pretty much at the start of my stamping days I've wanted to do this design in white over a sheer or nude colour. On my thumbs I had the leopard and lace print design going diagonaly over.

Edinburgh was great, really really great ^_^ On the first night we caught up with our friend Aidan who's living back in Edinburgh (been about a year or so since we last seen him). He cooked us dinner and he didn't poison us! ( long story :P) and then went out on the town, to quite a few places I went when I first went to Edinburgh some years back. So that was fun, was feeling a little delicate on Valentine's day when we went to Edinburgh Dungeons, so uneven flooring, dim lights, and loud noises wasn't the best idea in the world, but later on Wagamama made everything better, mm ^_^
Anyhoo I'll stop rambling on! I want to watch the new episode of The Walking Dead & some How I Met Your Mother :D
All in all I had a great time, but I'm glad to be home and have a snuggle in bed watch The Walking Dead, and cuddle Cheese (as she's the only one who ventures on the bed). She huffed a little bit when we first got in, wanting picked up but pretending like she didn't. She then cabbaged on the bed loving getting her belly rubbed! My brother and his girlfriend are glad we're back so they don't get trampled on tonight by her, she loves padding and clawing when you're asleep, and also walking over your face and head until you let her under the covers... It's a good job she's so cute :P

CFEP Home Page > Products > Practice Accreditation > PAIS Survey
The RACGP Standards (5th Edition) have emphasised the importance of patient-centred feedback. Internationally, and in Australia, there is growing emphasis on the robust and meaningful collection of information about patient experiences in both primary and tertiary care settings.
In order to ensure that practices are provided with the opportunity to use well designed, valid and reliable methods of gaining patient feedback, practices are required to use a RACGP endorsed method (such as a questionnaire) to gain feedback from patients.
CFEP's Patient Questionnaires have been approved by the RACGP for use in the 5th Edition Standards.
The Practice Accreditation and Improvement Survey (PAIS) provides doctors and practice managers with structured patient feedback.
The PAIS report includes written comments from patients, a statistical summary sheet, three to four tables, and three graphs. The results are presented in a simple format that provides, at a glance, information to doctors and practice managers on structured patient feedback.
The questionnaire has been structured to gain patient feedback on the actual practice, the doctors/nurses seen during the consultation, the practice staff and continuing health checks.
In this way, the practice will receive an overall picture of the total surgery experience of the patient.
PAIS was designed from a number of sources, such as a review of the international literature, input from consumer focus groups, GPs and consultation with international researchers. A number of published articles in academic peer-reviewed journals are available.
PAIS is an exit-survey which is administered by the receptionist to a number of consecutive patients (dependent upon the number of doctors/nurses within the practice). The questionnaire contains 28 items which are rated by patients and it takes about 3-5 minutes to complete. This survey incorporates the Doctors' Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire (DISQ), presently administered by CFEP within the RACGP and ACRRM Professional Development Programs. Doctors and receptionists have found that this survey is readily understood and easily administered.
Results from patient responses are aggregated and presented in graphic format to the practice according to various patient characteristics such as gender and number of previous visits. Comments from patients are also provided anonymously. A snap shot table provides the required information for AGPAL and other accreditation surveyors.
There is also a Clinical Audit option available. Individual results packages are provided for each doctor participating and upon completion of the GP report are awarded 40 Category 1 Clinical Audit Points (RACGP QI & CPD) and 30 Extended Skills points (ACRRM PDP).
Please contact us for further information at email@example.com or on (07) 3855 2093.

"I must say, it has been a relatively painless process for me this time around. It is comforting to think that it is the responsibility of someone else to collate and analyse the data!"
NaomiPractice Manager
"Thank you for our report – we are very happy with the service we have received and really appreciate the speed with which our report was collated and sent. We will definitely recommend your surveys and your company to other practices in our area. I was concerned that we would not receive our report before our survey visit but we have it four weeks before the visit date – very impressive. Our overall impression from this experience is – wonderful!!! Thank you so much – accreditation is very stressful and the ease of using your surveys has been one less stressful thing for us."

I should be beading. Yup. But I have been feeling terribly contemplative as of late, and thought I would share some of my pondering. In fact, I feel like I HAVE to share some of it!
What has it done for YOU??

Wonderful Nancy! You are an Amazing Artist, a Brave Woman and such a Generous and Loving Soul! *HUGS, LOVE, LIGHT* MxReplyDelete
What a wonderful post, Nancy! I'll have to think about answering that question on my blog. Thank you!ReplyDelete
nancy, this is such a wonderful post...Honest, brave, and I believe many many people can relate to it. Beading is an amazing thing...I've always thought of it as meditative and prayerlike and who's to say it's not? I know someone in the beading community..a well known artist and very talented who was saved from drug addiction just by beading....is there any wonder why we as beaders come together and share? We are all kindred souls..:o) Have a great week!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful thing to share! I love your post and hope you never have any hesitation about calling yourself an artist. Your work is STUNNING!ReplyDelete
Thank you, ladies!!! So much! I hope to hear more of your own experiences, and I really appreciate your support.ReplyDelete
Nancy -- I seem to be where you were a while back. Newly diagnosed with Parkinson's, I've become dedicated to holding my stitching needle for as long as my fingers will cooperate. It's slow going, but every piece is a victory! I love reading your blog & Facebook entries, and admire your lovely work!ReplyDelete
Kay Sea, thank you so much! I love yours as well, and I am so sorry to hear of your diagnoses. Every one of your pieces is a victory in MANY ways!!! Take care of you!!!ReplyDelete
I love this! What a way you have with words Miz Nancy, the Artiste! :)ReplyDelete
I will step up to the challenge, and create a blog post just for you! Perhaps this is what I need to thaw out the dendrites????
"I can't remember what I did before beading. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough."
This reminds me of how I once told a friend how I couldn't remember how I danced BEFORE I started Belly Dancing!!!! :-D
- Catskill Mountain MuseAugust 20, 2010 at 3:50 PM
How your words touch my heart... and I'm sure, each one of us who has the privilege to know... I'm sure that we all can relate to this on some level... You are an amazing artist, and a woman with grace and heart... I thank you for your friendship...ReplyDelete
Wonderful post, Nancy, and great insights into yourself and the beady world. I bead for all of the above reasons too, and more. And have also discovered many of the same things. Bravo for sharing! and, when I catch up with all the chores "patiently" (ha) waiting for me, I'll share your insights and some of my own on my blog.ReplyDelete
Kathy B
Nancy, thank you for sharing these most intimate and insightful thoughts. It is not by accident your artwork depicts depth and honesty!ReplyDelete
It is incredibly brave of you Nancy to bare your soul for all to see in this way. I am in awe of your ability to do this. I can relate to most all you have said (and put so eloquently) and you should stand tall and proud for doing it! Beading has done all of these things for me as well. I am still a bit of a hermit but having Facebook with all the beady friends as well as blogs, etsy team etc. makes it easier to crawl out of the cave and join the rest of the world. Congratulations to you on your revelations!ReplyDelete
I am very impressed with your superb rendition of your innermost emotions regarding beading. I personally identify with ALL that you relate with such eloquence. Thank you for sharing YOURSELF with us all.ReplyDelete
Wow!! Thank you so much, everyone!! I am so glad to have gotten to know all of you.ReplyDelete
Ahh, Ned. I had no idea HOW far you'd come. And it isn't just the medium, but it's that you found and followed your gift - and that was more important than all the stumbling blocks of self and shyness. Take a victory lap, honey. You earned one. And by the way, you write well too!ReplyDelete
Wow Nancy, what an incredibly honest and soulful post...thank you so much for sharing all of these intimate emotions with us. Your journey is an inspiration!ReplyDelete
Hi Nancy. I admire your work so much and rarely comment on FB. It doesn't surprise me that a lot of artist are discussing this subject. Many are beaders but others have found their voice in other media as well. IMHO, the internet has very much to do with it. You can speak to the screen and say things that are difficult to say out loud to a person. Emotions can flow more freely in the written word.ReplyDelete
I found my voice in beading. No, I am not a pro, just a person that found it easy to express my inner thoughts while participating in Robin Atkins Bead Journal Project.
I have blogged about this very subject several times in the past, and probably will again. I suffer from depression and thank the stars for the medication that has helped me cope with it and deal with my insecurities.
Thank you so much!! Carol, I am so touched by your words. I am following your blog now, as well, and am so happy that you felt you could reach out to me!ReplyDelete
Belinda and Linda - you guys are the mostest awesomest friends!!
Wow! Nancy, you not only could create amazing beading jewelries, putting your heart and soul towards IT, transferring them into this blog for sharing BUT most of all you write so eloquently.ReplyDelete
I discovered you from FB. I do beading on garments but am such a poor beader... I won't finish any without unpicking several times... ..(
This is my wonderful Saturday.. discovering you!
Thankyou for being brave and putting this out there, Nancy. It's clear that your experiences resonate with so many of the rest of us. I don't blog much but, if I feel moved to do so, I'll post something and let you know.ReplyDelete
And we never see ourselves as others do. I'll bet you're thinking,"AW, shucks, if they REALLY knew me!" to every nice comment people have made to you but to me you're warm, wise, funny, a brilliant networker and a wonderful inpsiration.
We Quakers talk about getting to know one another "in the things that are eternal" - at a level beyond the superficial, everyday, chitchat stuff which a lot of people struggle with. And that's what the beauty of your beading says to me: It's a little bit of the deeper you reaching out to connect with the deeper parts of the rest of us.
It's amazing how I've come to 'bracket' everyone according to their beadwork prowess! I always describe you as 'Nancy, yes, much better than me' Dale! It's easy to overlook the reasons a lot of us actually started this in the first place - the average seedbeader is usually disabled and has at least two cats, how's that for stereotyping? Blog (and your work) is stunning Nancy! xReplyDelete
A moving and inspiring blog, Nancy. I thank you for sharing such intimacy and honesty.ReplyDelete
For me, your pieces are so intense and so open .. and the reason is clear .. there is so much of you in each one. It's like love .. giving and sharing doesn't take anything away from you, it doesn't diminish you but rather serves to enrich and you realise that you have the capacity for more.
Thank you for enriching my life.
Wonderful post Nancy and so on the mark. I retired when my daughter was born and the one thing that I missed about the "working" world was knowing I was really good at my job and was valued for it. Although motherhood has it's own rewards, it's not as concrete. Beading filled that gap while still allowing me to be there for my daughter. I'm still struggling a bit with the "what did you do all day" question, but my beadwork and watching my daughter blossom are answering that question nicely, at least for me.ReplyDelete
You are all so amazing! I am so happy that I have connected with each of you, and am humbled and awed by the thought that I may have enriched any of you. I swear, I never ever thought that I would be able to reach out at all, so this experience is mind boggling! Thank you, each one individually.ReplyDelete
This post and all of the comments are a wonderful testament to the transformative power of art. It's a beautiful thing when an artist walks on his/her authentic path. Bravo, Nancy! Your work and thoughts are an inspiration.ReplyDelete

Hi Nancy, I loved reading your post.ReplyDelete
There are so many parts of this I totally agree with, and can identify with. But what I love, is not that you identify as a beader, or an artist and this is who you are - but the depth of realizing what it has brought to your life, and how it has formed and changed you as a result of being who you are. This is the wonderful part. Some people "just make stuff", in a more factory like feeling. Others, are moved and changed by creating. It is wonderful to know you, and I thank you for sharing - I know this is a big thing too, putting out there your truth, for all to see.
*hugs*. I will try to write a blog this week like this. It's good inspiration, and I think our "people" like to get to know us, as we share like this. :)
Thank you, Thomasin and Andez, both!! I am so happy to be able to share with so many gifted and thoughtful people. Every person who has commented has really helped me to think through even MORE things!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for leaving me a comment, it means a lot to me! Please don't be upset if I don't have time to respond personally to each comment - but be sure that I read each and every one of them! :)

Cooking in the Car
As the Summer temperatures rise, there's one important message going out to parents: never forget your children in the car on a hot day. We've previously seen one dad lock himself in a steamy car to show parents what can happen to their kids, and now a chef is speaking out on the subject. Chef Haim Cohen shared a seemingly innocent video about how to cook pizza in your car. But it quickly takes a dramatic turn once you realize the underlying message. See the shocking results above.

Question about frequency bands
- Hello,
I would like to bring my Windows Phone LG-C900B Quantum from Canada to South Korea. However, I have heard many problems regarding the difference in frequency bands between the two countries. So I would like to know if it's possible to use it in Korea or should I just sell here.
Because I'm a super newb at these things I just wanted to confirm with you guys... A quick look on google shows that LG Quantum supports "UMTS/HSDPA Tri-band (850/1900/2100 MHz)." And doing the same for KT Telecom and SK Telecom (Two of South Korea's biggest carriers) reveals that two of their many supported frequency bands are as follows:
850Mhz (819~824,864-869) - 10Mhz - 3.9G LTE
2100Mhz (1960~1980,2150~2170) - 40Mhz - 3.5G UMTS/HSPA+
850 MHz (829~839,874~884) - 20Mhz - LTE 3.9G Band 5
2100 MHz (1930~1960, 2120~2150) - 60Mhz - UMTS/HSPA 3.5G
So according to this, I should be able to use my phone under either KT or SK without any problems, either under the 2100MHz band or on the LTE 850MHz band and revert to 3G speeds, is that correct?
I tried asking the people working there (KT & SK employees) but either I'm asking the wrong questions or they aren't trained to know these things because they kept directing me to the phone maker (LG).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you02-22-2013 09:23 PM
- Oh yes, I forgot to mention the phone is unlocked, of course. AFAIK Korea has three carriers, SK, KT, and LG. And of those three only LG uses WCDMA (ie. no sim card <-- is that correct?). From my experience the other two, SK and KT, use GSM for sure.
Thanks for your help. :)02-23-2013 08:57 PM
- WCDMA is actually a GSM thing. It's for like 3G, as I've seen it on UK phones, and I know that EVERY UK carrier uses GSM only. All use the same frequencies too. So yes, it looks like a Canadian phone will work over there. Check the frequencies on the 3rd carrier too.03-05-2013 06:22 AM
- fatclue_98Retired ModeratorYour Quantum will be able to use voice & text without problems (Quantum is quad-band GPRS). For 3G data, you can use it since your phone supports the 2100 band. I know it can be confusing but you'll be ok.03-05-2013 10:48 AM

First coined by Kaufman in 1981, laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) has also been recognized under other aliases including extraesophageal reflux, reflux laryngitis, and posterior laryngitis. LPR has been postulated to play a role in up to 50% of laryngeal complaints that present in an otolaryngological practice.
It has increasingly become an entity that more otolaryngologists are evaluating and treating in their practice. A closer examination reveals that there is a bit of controversy regarding this medical condition stemming from the fact that there are no set diagnostic guidelines, and yet, physicians continue to offer treatment as an established pathological process.
The purpose of this writing is to review key characteristics of LPR and to discuss current diagnostic modalities and therapeutic options with a particular acknowledgement of the controversy inherent with them.

Jakorda looks lovely town. I'd like to stroll around the Saturday market in person and buy some fruits, vegetables, and jar of honey. Women's ethnic clothes is charming. I wonder your grandmother used to wear that?

dear all, thank you for the lovely comments;
@Filip: the scarfs on the head of these women is sign for their muslim religion; that is their way to show it; in this area of Bulgaria (the Southeast) you have Bulgarian orthodox and Bulgarian muslims;
I will put a short explanation under one of the pictures.
@Yoko:see my answer to Filip; my grand mother does not wear it;

If you haven't noticed, oxygen is so hott right now. Okay well it's always hott, per say, since it's kind of a basic requirement to sustain life, but in the skincare world, it's definitely having a moment. You'll find it on selves as an ingredient in masks, foundations, and moisturizers, and you'll fine it being used in many-a-spa treatment. So what's O2's deal? Is this another gimmick, or is there validity to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and collagen stimulation claims? Follow the link below to find out.

After much fanfare and anticipation, the Idaho Potato Commission's (IPC) Great Big Idaho Potato Truck Tour is well underway!
The truck received an official send-off from Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter on March 30 at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the Idaho Capitol Building. The Governor was presented with a "Great Big Key" and started the truck's engine to signify the commencement of the tour. For seven months the truck will travel across the country, celebrating the IPC's 75th anniversary, reminding folks of the goodness of Idaho potatoes as well as helping raise funds and awareness for Meals on Wheels (MOW), the oldest and largest national organization dedicated to helping end senior hunger.
There are more than 5,000 MOW programs across the country that, in total, prepare and deliver more than one million meals each day to homebound seniors. These programs are run primarily by volunteers. There are between 800,000 and 1.7 million individuals who donate their time and often their own resources to make sure the elderly in their communities are nourished. Some believe that this is the largest volunteer army in the nation.
The statistics on senior hunger are shocking, and unfortunately, the future is grim. It is estimated that in 2025, 9.5 million senior Americans will experience some form of food insecurity; that's about a 75 percent increase over 2005.
The team at MOW is working hard to make sure this forecast does not become a reality. But, they need help-both volunteers and donations. As our 75th anniversary year partner, I'm proud to announce that the IPC made a $100,000 donation. We've also put the MOW logo on the truck and will encourage the folks we meet on the tour to make a $7 donation, the cost of one meal. There will be a place on the website, www.bigidahopotato.com, where donations can be made electronically and the driver will have pre-stamped envelopes on board. In turn, MOW will keep their volunteers and friends up-to-date on the tour by posting the truck's schedule and photos from the road on their Facebook page, on their website and in their monthly newsletter.
If you are interested in learning more about the organization, I encourage you to visit www.mowaa.org. Not surprisingly, potatoes are an important food for this organization; they are included in approximately 70 percent of all meals. As we know, potatoes are nutrient-dense, affordable and extremely versatile. And maybe most importantly, they are one of the few foods that almost all seniors enjoy eating.
I hope you will have an opportunity to experience the Great Big Idaho Potato Truck as it crisscrosses the country. To find out when it will be near your neck of the woods, visit www.bigidahopotato.com.

A new study by University of Montreal researchers suggests hyper-masculine men are driving risks.
Researchers gave the instruction to "Catch that car!" to 22 men sitting in a driving simulator. The more "macho" the man, the more risks he took on the road.
"Our hypothesis was that hyper-masculine drivers, often referred to as macho, were more likely to take risks in order to catch a car," says Julie Langlois, lead researcher.
"We didn't tell test subjects to disobey the law, yet they knew others had accomplished the same task in seven minutes."
So what is a macho man?
In 2004, an American researcher developed the Auburn Differential Masculinity Inventory, a questionnaire to identify such men.
It comprised 60 statements such as "men who cry are weak," or "generally speaking, men are more intelligent than women."
Men had to answer questions on a scale of one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree).
Results of the car simulator exam highlighted men's slight tendency for risk. Still, it was during interviews that a link between macho men and speed revealed itself.
"Previous studies had shown that hypermasculine men were more aggressive on the road," says Langlois. "But we wanted to take it further."
"Some men develop a passion for driving that can verge on the obsessive," says Langlois. "They consider cars to be an extension of themselves and they become extremely aggressive if they are honked at or cut off."
During testing, some participants disregarded how they were being evaluated on their degree of masculinity and caught the car within five minutes. Others caught the car in 12 minutes and were much less dangerous on the road.
Langlois' study found that aggressive behavior is deeply rooted in the male stereotype. Aggressive driving allows some men to express their masculinity, which could serve as a predictor of dangerous driving.
Cars are often a vehicle by which character traits are expressed and preventing risky behavior is an issue of public safety.

This is mildly funny. Evidently people think the 40% or whatever of obese Americans all live in other states. At least they don't think we've migrated underground to the sewers.

Heavy kids
Here's the skinny on being fat
By APRIL MIDDLETON
Salina Journal
People tend to think "the overweight people live in another state," said Janet Callarman, community initiatives director with the Salina Area United Way.
That's not the case, though. And the release of data concerning obesity in Saline County children should help bring the issue to the community's consciousness, she said.
That data, as well as a plan to address the problem of obesity, will be released during a news conference at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Saline County Commission on Aging.
"It's hard to make a case for change, without data," Callarman said. "This data is going to reflect that it is a major problem in Saline County."

This made me laugh because to a certain extent most of the obese people do live in another state. I was at a presentation last year where the displayed the trend in obesity based on state from 1975 to 2005. As expected the numbers and number of colours (percentage of population with a BMI over 30) kept increasing. The southeastern states were always higher than anything else and Louisianan and Georgia always led the way with new colours. In 2005 they were planning to introduce a new colour (I think 40% of population with a BMI over 30) for Louisiana; however, because of Hurricane Katrina and the relocation of people who were predominantly from lower socioeconomic groups the percentage of Louisiana residents with BMIs over 30 went down and the percentages in surrounding states went up.

Christmas Crazies!
This year Christmas has been crazy. I totally failed on so many levels. We got out only one box of decorations. I didn't do any holiday baking, nor did we do many of the "traditional" things we typically do as a family. I do however have a good reason. I am doing some baking of another kind. I have a bun in the oven, and I have gone from being super sick, to exhausted and going to bed 2-3 hours early every night. It's crazy. We are so excited to be adding to our family, and I am going to be looking towards better juggling my time. I have this week off of work, and plan to spend some time doing new projects to post about.

A Window to the Past.
Anytime you have a moment, you go looking for a past moment from your lifeline, and project it into your present; into that moment you were having.
Or had actually, since you are constantly living in your past.
It's a bitch isn't it?
I always thought that it was a blessing… no it isn't.
Believe me, looks are deceiving.
I was deceived. I deceived myself. Don't worry, I am so good with that. I am used to lie to myself. I am used to trick myself into believing, that everything I do, is what is supposed to happen.
No… no. Believe me it is tiring. Living the past over and over and over. You tell yourself, that the past isn't so bad, since you're still enjoying it in the present. But that's part of your delusion... part of the hypnosis. The cycle is viscous, and memories can sting.
Without prior notice, and just when you thought that the
image memory summoned is pleasant, safe, and smile-drawing, a virus parasite thought interrupts your process recollection, and your lovely window to the past turns into a film noir.
Thrilling and interesting to go through for sure, but that wasn't the ride you paid for.
You got fooled again. You got fooled by your own creation, and by your own being.
Here's to memories… We live for them, from them, and through them.
Here's to two years of urban_memories [the unfinished polaroids].
It's been a thrill.

Just a quick note today. (And many apologies for the radio silence. We're in the midst of a rapid-and-unexpected move so the peripheral stuff is going to be a little hit or miss for the next few months.)
On Wednesday (July 16th) I have a guest blog over at Enchanted Spark. You may remember Melinda Moore guested over here a couple of months ago and is graciously hosting me as well. You should be sure to check it out - I talk about writing Brass Stars and dealing with hard characters.
It seems that The Beast Within 4: Gears and Growls may be coming out in October. It's been a little delayed, but I think everyone's excited to see it come out. Edited by Jennifer Brozek, this anthology includes my own steampunk-werecreature-Southern-Gothic story - "Legacy". And some other authors who you are more likely to recognize. (Like Ken Liu.)
A few weeks ago I finished up The Spider Thief and The Assassin King. This short novel started out as a short story and rapidly turned into the-project-that-wouldn't-quit. I've had a lovely talk with my agent, scribbled down a page full of notes, and now have a six week deadline to add some more polish to the MS. There is a fair amount of "Yay!" involved here. And also a bit of "OMG!" because... moving. Then again, who needs sleep?
