This very special 1987 Guy Salmon 'Jubilee edition' XJS Coupe is a one-of-a-kind, and in excellent condition, with only 4 owners and under 98,000 miles – this is a very rare car indeed. KWE are selling on behalf of a customer who had major work done on the car with us.
This XJS underwent a comprehensive renovation and refurbishment by us between 2014 and 2015. The works included an upgraded suspension changing key bushes, dampers and springs, a full perishables service replacing all coolant hoses, drive belts, ignition leads etc, a full bare metal respray including colour keyed rubber bumpers and spoilers in Jaguar Black, an upgraded sound system with Bluetooth/DAB and a comprehensive V12 engine overhaul paired with our modern digital engine management system which improves the overall performance and economy. Lots of other areas were repaired and renewed to make the car a well sorted reliable classic. The documentation and photographs of the works are with the car.
The cost of the works done by us was over £60,000, so if you add to this the purchase price of a comparable pre-restoration car you'll have a KWE XJS for less than half the cost.
Jaguar World magazine featured this spectacular car in the February 2017 issue, a copy of the magazine comes with the car.
The bodywork is rust free and the paintwork is in great condition. The saville grey Interior leather, carpet and wood veneers are original but still in good condition. The car drives beautifully even with the added power that the DEM system provides and sounds fantastic with a larger bore sports exhaust. This rather special XJS Coupe is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, everything working as it should, very reliable and doesn't fail to turn heads.
The price of £20,000 reflects the rarity and excellent condition of this special Guy Salmon XJS Coupe

Sea Monsters is the name of a five-day mini-festival which took place in Brighton in January of 2011 promoted by local label One Inch Badge. It's also the name of the accompanying compilation release put out by the label, which, like the festival did back in January, aims to highlight all of the excellent musical things going on Brighton, and a most excellent job that they've done of it too.
Sea Monsters is an 18 track release of carefully selected songs – spanning from delicate folk music to instrumental rock and back – from some of Brighton's more well-known acts. Bands such as the DJ Scotch Egg-fronted Drum Eyes make an appearance with their instrumental, electronic, funky experimenting of 'Future Police' and the impressive and increasingly well-known Cold Pumas also contribute with 'Proof Of Man'; a noisy, driving and satisfyingly abrasive krautrock-ish affair. But it's with the lesser known bands on Sea Monsters that sit beside these acts where One Inch Badge are really doing their job of pointing a spotlight on the city's talents well. It is excellent that bands such as Us Baby Bear Bones, with their stripped back, delicate, haunting and dark folk-pop sounds, Nullifier, all synth-led weirdo pop, Illness, scrappy, instrumental indie-meets-math rock jams, The Sticks, lo-fi surf-ish upbeat pop, and Soccer96, impressive, heavily-electronic instrumental rock, amongst others, are all able to get their music heard by a wider audience who mightn't previously have had the opportunity to hear them. There will be acts here unknown to even the most observant of Brighton's dwellers and, as clichéd a phrase as it is, this release is so diverse that there really is something for everyone.
As well as musically strong and refreshingly eclectic the label have also done their best at making the compilation as listenable as a 'proper' and 'whole' album as possible and it's clear that a lot of thought has gone into the track-listing of the release. The Sticks, for instance, lead perfectly into the TV On The Radio-influenced alternative pop sounds of Pope Joan, and 'Sad Song' by Squadron Leaders is the perfect soundtrack to a 'goodbye'.
It's impressive that all these bands hail from the same city, and Sea Monsters gives an excellent insight into the Brighton music scene – successfully portraying Brighton as the vibrant, diverse, cultured and exciting city that it is. Every city needs its own One Inch Badge, and for less than five pounds for 18 songs from different 18 bands, Sea Monsters is a bargain too.

Episode 56: James Wong's houseplants - part two
I had so much fun and fascinating stuff to chat about with expert botanist and houseplant maverick James Wong (aka @botanygeek on Twitter and Instagram) that I am bringing you another chunk of our chat this week. We check out his incredible waterlily nano pond made from a glass fruit bowl, his Avatar-inspired aquarium and living wall, his fishbowl terrarium and more.
If you haven't yet listened to part one of my visit to James Wong's flat, please do so before you click play on this episode: it will make a lot more sense that way! The show notes below will fill you in on all the plants, shops and products we discuss in the episode, so do scroll down as you listen.
And finally, just a reminder that the other voice in the interview is garden designer and fellow London-based plant genius Rob Stacewicz (he's on Twitter @RS_MCIHort).

And now, on with the notes...
Project 5 - Jurassic World-themed terrarium
James repurposed a damaged tank that no longer held water as a Jurassic Park themed terrarium. Can you spot the dino?
James included two unusual Begonias and two unusual Nepenthes that require constant, near-100% humidity in the tank.
The only piece of 'kit' in this tank is a mini-water feature with a pump bought on Amazon for a fiver to keep plants moist.
Project 6: houseplants in window boxes
James got pulled up by his friend Rob for having too many pots dotted around his windowsill, so he planted them in windowboxes instead.
James's approach is that plants grow better together, so he crams them into windowboxes. One benefit of this is increased humidity to the grouped plants.
The windowbox troughs came from Getpotted.com: James mottled them with paint to gain a lighter shade of grey.
He just uses houseplant growing medium but just adds some perlite to the mix.
The troughs don't have drainage holes, so James has to be a little careful with watering, but he finds that individual pots dry out so much quicker, so in many ways this is less work than loads of individual pots - what James calls 'the Instagram model of houseplants'.
The houseplants when potted together will 'style themselves' says James, moving to accommodate each other.
The houseplants he uses successfully in this way are many and varied but include Peperomia angulata, Alocasia reginula, Pilea libanensis (aka glauca), Begonia maculata, Pilea peperomioides, and the delta maidenhair fern, Adiantum raddianum.
Project 7: nano pond with mini waterlily
James had always wanted to grow waterlilies indoors so when he discovered a teeny tiny waterlily with a 30cm width, he decided to have a go at growing one in a glass fruit bowl for fun (as you do!). He tweeted his creation and it went viral. "My phone was going off like a defibrillator," James says. Here's his original tweet.
The nano pond was made from an IKEA fruit bowl James had in his rented flat. IKEA (in the UK anyway) don't seem to sell a glass fruit bowl with a 30cm diameter any more, but you can buy a 20cm one. If you want to go a little bit more fancy you could get this crystal bowl.
The waterlily James grows in this nano pond is Nymphaea helvola. It has now flowered! For more on waterlilies as houseplants, check out this article James wrote for the Observer last year.
You can buy this waterlily from various places in the UK, including Crocus.
Other aquatic plants used in these nano ponds are Anubias pangolino, Bucephalandra and Pogostemnon.
The pond is placed under a lamp with an IKEA grow light.
The most frequent question James receives about the nano pond is water quality - he changes the water - or rather a couple of mugfuls of the water - once a week and that's it. Oh, and he uses tap water rather than distilled or anything else.
Then he wondered how small he could go, so he made a 300ml glass bowl. In theory, the smaller the vessel, the harder it is to maintain but so far it's the one that he has to change least.
James sources his aquatic plants from two main UK suppliers, ProShrimp and Aquarium Gardens.
Read more about James's experiences with aquatic plants in this article for The Observer.
Project 8: succulent window box with Tillandsias
Just like his other houseplants, James decided to grow his succulents in a trough on the windowsill. This way you don't have to water lots of individual pots, and the result is stunning.
James sourced his succulents in trays from Columbia Road flower market in London.
Watering needs to be measured as there is no drainage in the trough.
James says: "I love Tillandsias, and in theory they are very low maintenance, but for me for some reason not all of them grow very well. I had some gaps in this cactus window box and I just shoved some in, I thought they might benefit from the indirect humidity that's rising up. This is the only time that my Tillandsias not only survive, but the true measure that they are growing really well is that they have babies. So my tip for Tillandsias is to stick them on top of pots so they benefit from the humidity around them."
Project 9: Avatar tank and green wall
James decided to make a take/living wall arrangement with a blue theme, in honour of the film Avatar.
James gets all his begonias from Dibleys Nurseries in North Wales. The silvery one featured on the living wall is one James and I both find relatively easy to grow - it is B. 'Silver Jewel'.
There is one blue fish in this tank - it is a Siamese fighting fish - plus some blue freshwater shrimp.
The living wall is designed to go above and below the water.
The blue theme continues with an iridescent blue Selaginella uncinata aka peacock moss or spikemoss and a bluish Bucephalandra.
Project 10: Skull Island terrarium
James decided to make a terrarium in homage to Kong: Skull Island using some unusual plants.
This terrarium is made from a 45cm wide glass fishbowl.
The plants that look like mini-palms are Biophytum sensitivum aka the little tree plant, a relative of Oxalis - James got his from N1 garden centre in London but you can also get them from Dartfrog.co.uk and other vivarium plant stockists.
All the other plants in the terrarium are aquatic plants. They are glued using aquarium glue to pieces of dragonstone, which can be bought from aquascaping stores.
Project 11: IKEA picture ledges with plant troughs
"f you have a blank wall with some light you can garden," says James. He brightened up a plain wall with picture ledges containing narrow plant troughs, lit by IKEA grow lights.
The narrow but mall troughs made from concrete came from Clifton Nurseries in London.
The picture ledges come from IKEA.
The strange, spiky trailing plant you can see in the image above is the tassel fern (Lycopodium squarrosum), which James finds really easy to grow and it is quick to increase in size, too. If you are in Europe this can be ordered from Araflora; in the US, Glass Box Tropicals stock this plant (listeners, let me know if you find another source!)
The plants are lit using IKEA grow light bulbs and mirrors help to bounce the light around.
Plants featured here include satin pothos, Hoya linearis, Columneas and Peperomias.
The cissus James mentions is Cissus rotundifolia aka Peruvian grape ivy.
Question of the week
Listener Stephanie wanted to know what the tiny, silvery-grey jumping bugs in her houseplant compost were - they are most likely springtails, which is good news because they aren't a major pest like the spider mite. They feed on algae, fungi and mould rather than living plant tissue, so are one of nature's clean-up crews.
However, the presence of springtails can be a sign that your plant's growing medium has been overwatered. It's worth taking the plant from its pot, checking roots and healthy and repotting into fresh growing medium. If you use sterile growing medium when repotting, you shouldn't have a problem with springtails.
Here is a video of some springtails if you want to take a look (turn down the sound if you don't like the dance music soundtrack!) and if you want to find out more about culturing springtails and other isopods for terrariums, vivariums and so on, check out this page from Glass box Tropicals.
Want to ask me a question? Tweet @janeperrone, leave a message on my Facebook page or email email@example.com. There's an episode about moth orchids coming soon, so I'd particularly like to hear from anyone with a Phalaenopsis problem to solve.

II. Distillations
THAT MATTER CANNOT be destroyed, only redistributed, holds true in the work of Alek O. Her practice is often one of distillation and in which she unsentimentally de-constructs significant objects to create new ones. In a previous work, a brass corkscrew, which has been passed down through four generations of the artist's family, was recon-stituted into a flat rectangular form of raw material (Corkscrew, 2010).

Product Journey
We have been working on this project since January 2018. We have had the honor and pleasure of working with a strong community of those affected by CRPS. Check out our research and process below to learn more about how we came to this final pattern!
User Insights
We started with talking to our users. The only people who understand what is like to have CRPS are people with CRPS! We talked to over 30 different users with many different experiences, and the one issue that kept coming up time and time again was CLOTHING.
It is so incredibly hard to find clothing that doesn't hurt/irritate the skin and it often makes CRPS symptoms worse. The only clothing that really works most of the time is loungewear or pajamas, not what you want to wear out of the house. You just want to wear normal clothing to not draw attention, and since normal clothing is often painful, as a result you end up isolated in your house.
We learned that pants, especially for women, are the worst. Most women never wear pants at all because of the pain, forced to wear dresses and shorts even in the winter. We came up with the idea of creating a pair of women's slacks that actually feel comfortable and don't hurt the skin. We knew from our need finding that we wanted to keep a few design guidelines in mind when creating our product.
Design Guidelines
+ Use the SOFTEST fabric possible
+ Eliminate the feel and rubbing of any seam
+ Eliminate any buttons, zippers, or bulkiness
+ Change the waistband to prevent any sort of pinching or pressure on the waist/hip
Next we sent out different fabric samples to our users, asking them to rank in order of comfort. We ended up with a clear winner, which we used in our prototyping.
Important note: we found these insights based on our user interviews, but we do not want to say in any way that this is the exact experience of everyone with CRPS. We acknowledge that there is a huge range of different experiences within the community. If you have an insight to add, we would LOVE to hear from you and incorporate it into our learnings and product. We love feedback!!!)
We created multiple prototypes for both the seams and the waistband.
After receiving feedback, we settled on a full inner liner, which we were told eliminated the feel and rubbing of the inner pant seams, as well and create a softer fabric feel on the skin. For the waistband, we removed the original pant waistband, replacing it with stretchy and pressure defusing waistband with soft fabric, which hugs the skin while eliminating any pressure or pinching, and can be folded over and adjusted based on preference. And of course style.
Pattern / Open Sourcing
After creating our final prototype, our team discussed what the best deliverable would be for our users. Creating our own clothing line, as we originally wanted, would be incredibly expensive for both us and for the purchasers, as well as take months to create. (We are all graduating this June, and moving on to new jobs). We eventually came up with the idea of open-sourcing a pattern/instructions. Open-sourcing means putting it out on the internet, available for anyone to download completely free. In this way, you can take your own pair of pants to your local seamstress and have them modify them easily based on our specifications. Additionally, by putting it out for free, we (hopefully) will be able to reach as many people who would benefit as possible!!!

Chris the youngest waiting for his daddy to nail the wood together "how long will it take". After waiting for the glue to dry and asking every few minutes "is it ready yet?" and me explaining to the boys how wonderful it is to spend £3.00 on wood etc and make 3 rubber band guns that they could have endless fun with rather than spending more money on one toy that will be put in a toy box forgotten for the rest of time to them, they were finally ready. We set up a cardboard target for them to fire at and away they went, they played in the garden laughing and praising each other (something that rarely goes on) for hours, oh the joy!

ARGH bloody slugs!
Here is chris' (9 yr old) spinach, he only eats spinach and lettuce and the odd carrot and maybe a pea if he is feeling adventurous, so he planted these spinach above and lettuce below pics. This is his second lot of lettuces after the first slug theft we thought it best to keep them in the greenhouse until they are well established.
Turnips! tiny little ones just starting off, I'm waiting till they are a bit bigger to thin them out, to be honest we don't eat turnip that often so i thought it was a good idea to grow some, plus i think they are quite funny! I have been watching carol Klein's programme on BBC2 grow your own veg i love her enthusiasm and passion, its a great programme and she has a fab book too, really easy to follow for beginners like me.
As a family we already do the Eco things like riding our bikes everywhere, we don't have a car through choice, we recycle and reuse, i always say no to plastic bags, we buy as much fair trade and organic food as possible and growing fruit and veg has made me feel so much better not just because its fresher and better for us but because i am proud to see the little seeds turn into lovely plants and bear tasty fruit and veg and to see the boys faces when a new bud appears or how much something seems to grow overnight, its amazing.

mucky boys and pretty flowers
Sunday, 3 August 2008
Homeschool, Q & A.
1. What was your motivation for homeschooling? Was it based on religious reasons? Was is it based on curriculum - did you want more freedom in choosing what your children were being taught? Was it based on socializing - wanting to have more control in the people with whom your children came into contact with? Was it based on logistics - the nearest school being 20 miles away? What made you finally decide to go this route?
We thought given the choices around our area for schools are poor and that the school the boys attended was not very good as there are many unsavoury children/parents that go there and we didnt want the boys in contact with such people, that in the holidays the boys became much brighter, happier children that we would not send them back to school. My eldest does attend school and i hope for the younger two to go to high school, so my ideas on homeschooling are not set in stone, its just whats best for us all at the moment.
2. Don't hate me for asking this. How to you handle socialization? What steps do you take to make sure your children are around other children and adults? Are you active in a home school group? Do you spend a lot of time at church activities? Maybe you utilize the local Y for activities and they meet friends there?
Where we live there are many children the boys play with every day and they have friends who come round too. We have just started to have meet ups with other homeschool families in the area. We dont go to church and the boys dont attend any clubs.
3. Do you use the public school system for any part of your child's routine? Some children here come to the school for band or chorus, or maybe for science class. Do you send your child to the public school to take advantage of any of their programs?
No as this would go against the belief i have about them mixing with unsavory children.
4. Do your children begin and end school at the same time each day? Do they have a strict schedule, at least as far as waking up and reporting to the school area of your home? If not, when/how will you transition your children into following a more rigid schedule - awaking at the same time each day so that they can follow a routine outside of the home like for college and work?
No, they dont have a set routine, we learn as we go through out the day naturally. They do have some time to do worksheets and spelling tests but this is not at any special time.
The boys will be well equipped with life skills enough to be able to follow a stricter routine if need be when they are older, just because they dont have to do things at a certain time they still have routine in other areas of there life like mealtimes and bed etc.
5. How many spelling bees has your child won? Oh, I'm kidding. We all know most of the recent national spelling bee winners have been home schooled children. I just wanted to throw a little funny in there.
We dont have spelling bees in the UK
6. Do you have a sense of humor? It's probably a little late for me to ask that but...
Oh god yeah a very big one and i think us homeschoolers have bigger ones than most parents.
How does a homeschooler change a lightbulb?
First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.
Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.
Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.
On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.
Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.
And there is light.
7. Where do you find your curriculum? Do you shop for it and order it? Do you create your own?
We dont follow the curriculum but i do get worksheets from Enchanted learning, its just £10.00 a year.
8. Do you have any worries at all about teaching your teenagers the higher level math and sciences? I, for one, could not teach chemistry to my children but I could probably teach them calculus. Is this a concern for you?
Not really as i hope when they are that age they will be attending high school
9. What bothers you the most about the reputation home schoolers have? What things do you hate to hear people say about you for your choice? I really hope you don't say that it's my previous post.
I hate the way people feel the need to quiz my boys to see if they actually know anything, also the way they want a full commentry about what educational thing you have done that day and also and this is the worse one the way other non home ed parents ask how do you cope having them at home all day and then add "it would drive me mad"
10. Be honest, do you, at least in your mind sometimes, judge those of us who choose public school? Do you ever think we are making a bad choice for our children? Are you vocal about that disapproval?
Not at all everyone has a choice and thats up to them.

text: When we think of MBA, we immediately consider schools equivalent to Harvard, Wharton and the opposite Ivy League colleges. In any other case, I am going to just be confused and end up going nowhere. After all, not all high network advertising and marketing firms are created equal. The funds that make the record are rated on danger, efficiency, diversification and other factors. Harvard Business Faculty is considered the most effective enterprise college in the United States and among the best on the earth.\n\nOf course, there's extra to the process than these steps show, but that is the method an individual might want to undertake to really begin a house based mostly enterprise in per week. For the sake of completeness, although, you'll want to full growing your opening assertion, so you already know what to say in those cases where you do not get interrupted at this point.\n\nThey employed Evercore Partners to handle the sale, and a typical suggestion on the time was that they may promote the magazine for a dollar due to all of the liabilities the publication had. The top MBA applications for 2013 are ranked by prices, reputation, number of students and have subjects primarily based on management, business,pc and economics.\n\nWe truly do, and we could be witnessing greater prices of wheat worldwide which is used for a lot of merchandise, as well as the price of feed which will increase the costs for meat. Focusing on markets across the nation, Bloomberg Business week forecast that houses in Detroit will improve in price by 33.1% by 2014, with the current median home price standing at $51,000.\n\nTo start with I want to introduce myself to those that do not know me: I am Olivier Roland, I'm 27 years old, I'm French and I manage an info companies firm that I created once I was 19 (with 3 folks). The rating system is predicated on the corporate's initial risk rating of the fund.\n\nDaytime MBA from Duke College's Fuqua School of Enterprise Positioned in Durham, North Carolina, this is among the few packages whose fees are beneath $100,000 – but that is hardly much consolation, as a result of at $ninety nine,500 they don't seem to be a lot decrease than that number.\n\n

For backgrounds on the characters played in this campaign, look here~
While the rest of the party scoured the surface, Meryk, Anselme and Brother Vang ventured down a winding set of stairs into the undercrypt of the high church; there, the trio warily approached an aged and derelict door–the surface of which was raked with gouges and spattered with old blood stains. Carefully opening the path, Meryk was first to observe a long corridor of partially eaten corpses–hobgoblin mercenaries and soldiers from the Children of Steel sighted among the half-eaten and dismembered remains. Further disturbing sounds could be heard muffled from a nearby doorway and so the three adventurers readied themselves before breaking the lock and peering inside.
Down a narrow stairwell, what had once been some sort of area for imprisonment had long since been compromised; among broken cages of rusted iron, nearly one hundred ghasts now congregated with a grotesque mob clamoring for fresh flesh to feast upon. Among their number, an otyugh shrouded in black tattered garbs stood–and upon the revealing of the adventurers, the creature attempted to wrack Brother Vang's mind with a psionic attack!
Steadying the bulwark of his reliquary shield, Brother Vang began to trudge down the steps against the rushing mob of ghasts, fearless of the undead horde while Meryk loosed a salvo of arrows at the otyugh–only to have them shatter against a psycho-kinetic barrier of some kind. Anselme strode forth as nearly a dozen undead clawed desperately at Brother Vang's heavily armored form–loosing an awesome sunburst within the retched room which obliterated the whole of the undead horde in a single magnificently bright stroke.
With only the otyugh remaining, the trio began to advance–only to spy it beginning a strange and eldritch ritual which began to open a rift across space and time through which an immense tentacle reached forth and seized Brother Vang. By now, Emma had arrived on the scene to swiftly charge the otyugh screaming bloody murder; the barbarian felled the potent cultist with several sure strokes, swiftly ending the ritual–and managing to grab Brother Vang, helping to free the cleric before he was dragged to the undead world of Nex!
As the rest of the party began to arrive from upstairs now, Pandora discovered a strange puzzle box on the remains of the otyugh and promptly began to fiddle with it; much to the drow's chagrin, the box was revealed to be a devouring box–a congregation of grinding gears and mechanisms which quickly began to double in size many times over. Emma dove headfirst against the growing calamitous creation, seized within its machinations as Cassandra and the others loosed magics and attacks against it; after much injury, the party managed to dispatch the devouring box before it grew too large to contend with.
Venturing into the rest of the undercrypt, the party came to face a cadre of overghasts in the midst of a foul ritual beside an altar; quickly mobbed, the overghasts managed to whisk away Anselme to sacrifice astride one such altar before the party could retrieve him. Acting quickly, Brother Vang fought his way past the undead servitors to imbue the young druid with a breath of life–while the party became engaged with a lady mummy lord as well as a gathering of gorgons. The melee was chaotic but swift–and after a brief harrowing exchange, the party managed to emerge without further casualties–although the mummy lord removed herself to fight another day via a word of recall.
Collecting what valuables they could, the party departed from the High Church and returned to their base camp to deliver the disciple statue they'd recovered; it was decided then that the group would scout out the gathering of trolls they'd heard word of, the same-such locale Cassandra had witnessed in her visions prior. As well, an eye would be turned towards locating and assessing the black dragon Karkuune, another General of Orcus' presence in Tsar.
Visiting the site where the trolls had been seen before, Meryk took on the guise of a troblin-sized troll and offered his best trollish voice; managing to slip past the exterior sentries, the ranger scouted near to half a mile of tunnel before coming to face an antimagic field–and a clearly intelligent sorcerous troll. Prying for information, Meryk was able to determine that the trolls had found protection in Karkuune as they gathered about their 'trollstone'–but that they refused any offer of barter or exchange for the statue which rested alongside it, guided by their collective dreams as they had been.
With one of the nine disciple statues within the trolls' grasp, it was clear that the party would necessitate a more daring plan for its recovery. Engaging both the Children of Steel as well as the efreeti army at Cassandra's disposal seemed the most reliable course, for by now the trolls numbered in the hundreds within their caverns; the party was wary of having to deal with Karkuune so soon as well, so a more elaborate plan would be necessary.
In order to secure a route for the Children of Steel to bring a supplementary force, the party would need to clear the last remaining watchtower to the upper reaches of Tsar–and so it was to this tower that the group proceeded next. Upon arrival, a curious observation was made–the arrow slits had been bricked up from within and the watchtower appeared entirely unattended. Wary of such tricks, Pandora began scouting for traps and mechanisms from the exterior–and sighting what seemed to be walls and portcullis prepared to drop down, Cassandra erected a wall of force in the entryway of the tower.
Though the party had expected traps and taken what they believed to be countermeasures, once Brother Vang, Pandora, Cassandra and Emma had made their way into the middle of the passageway–additional traps sprang into motion unexpectedly. Cassandra's magic forestalled the rest of the party being trapped in the entryway, but a small mob of black skeletons emerged to flank the group as another wall fell to sequester the party in half.
Inside the tower, the floor raised before a wall of spears began to press along the platform; when Pandora attempted to break the clay wall opposite the spears, an ochre jelly was released into their midst. Outside, the party fought with the skeletons while attempting to breach the heavy stone wall dividing the group–while inside, Cassandra disintegrated a section of the platform to escape below with Pandora and Brother Vang.
Emma fought with the rapidly dividing ochre jelly while weathering acid attacks and spears; below, Brother Vang and Pandora became mobbed with further skeletons before both exited the tower via dimension door and passing through stone. With this, a dread wraith and phantasm also engaged the party, further adding to the chaos. Cassandra was able to dispatch the jelly along with Emma with several fireballs against the divided mass, destroying the skeletons as well; nearly slain by the flyby attacks of the wraith, Cassandra exited the tower as well leaving Emma to fight against its mechanisms.
As Emma destroyed the last of the creatures within and prepared to assault the inner workings of the tower's traps–acid began to flood the chamber the barbarian found herself in. With the last of the threat outside eliminated, the party prepared to finish breaching the entrance to recover Emma–but inside, the barbarian found herself facing a creature inspiring much cursing and profanity: an acid shark emerged into the flooded chamber, biting and then swallowing Emma whole.
In the aftermath, the party broke through the wall and loosed frustrations through a potent barrage of weaponry and magic; after retrieving Emma from within, the party unanimously made a motion to lay the watchtower to utter ruin and never speak of it again. The way forward was thus cleared for support from the Children of Steel in the coming days–but now, the party turned an eye towards their exchange with the gnolls, resolving next to attempt to locate the Dust Coven that they might slay the drow assassins; it would be of little surprise, in the days to come, that the Dust Coven had similar notions regarding the adventurers…

The Committee shall be composed of three or more directors, as determined by the Board. Upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, members shall satisfy the independence standards set forth in the applicable listing rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") and the independence requirements set forth in the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in accordance with the following "phase in" schedule: at least one member shall satisfy such standards and requirements by the date that the Company completes its initial public offering; at least a majority of the members of the Committee shall satisfy such standards on or before the ninetieth day after the Company completes its initial public offering; and, all members of the Committee shall satisfy such standards on or before one year after the Company completes its initial public offering.
Each Committee member will be a director who:
- subject to the "phase in" rules described above, has no relationship to the Group that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management and the Group;
- satisfies all of the financial literacy requirements under the applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules (including, without limitation, being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Group's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement); and
- has not participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the three years prior to becoming a member of the Committee.
The Board shall retain the authority to remove members from, and appoint members to, the Committee from time to time, subject to the membership requirements applicable to the Committee.
Within the scope of the role of the Committee described above, the Committee is charged by the Board with the responsibility to:
- Appoint (and recommend that the Board submit for shareholder approval or ratification, if applicable), compensate, retain and oversee the work performed by the independent auditor retained for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attestation services with respect to the Group. The Committee will review the performance and independence of the independent auditor and, if circumstances warrant, remove the independent auditor. The independent auditor will report directly to the Committee and the Committee will oversee the resolution of any disagreements between management and the independent auditor, if any disagreements arise.
- Pre-approve all audit, review, attestation and non-audit services (including any internal control-related services) to be provided to the Group by the independent auditor. The Committee may establish pre-approval policies and procedures in compliance with applicable SEC rules.
- Obtain and review at least annually a formal written report from the independent auditor setting forth: (a) the independent auditor's internal quality control procedures; (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control review, or peer review, of the auditor, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, with respect to one or more independent audits carried out by the auditor, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (c) all relationships between the independent auditor and the Group, in order to assess the auditor's independence (the "Relationships").

In making its evaluation, the Committee will take into account the opinions of management and, if applicable, the Group's internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function). In addition to assuring the regular rotation of the audit partners on the engagement team as required by law, the Committee will consider whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, there should be regular rotation of the audit firm itself. The Committee will present its conclusions with respect to the independent auditor to the Board. Upon receipt of the independent auditor's written report, the Committee will discuss with the independent auditor any disclosed Relationships and their impact on the independent auditor's objectivity and independence, and take appropriate actions to oversee the independence of the independent auditor.

text: Share: Comments Print January 7, 2012 at 6:11 AM Pac-12 picks … including the UW game Posted by Percy Allen Apologize for the late/early posting this morning. Hopefully we'll get a few picks in the Guess the UW Score contest. And don't forget it's still not too late to join the Pick & Roll contest. This is probably the last day to sign up and have a realistic shot at winning the $200 grand prize. You can always join later, make picks and track your results. Now back to the guessing game we love and hate on this blog. Lots of contestants – myself not included – went against the Washington on Thursday, which appears to be a growing sentiment. Here's a couple of samples from the comments section in the previous Guess the UW Score post. UtahDawg wrote: "Like Percy, I'm not going to pick the Dawgs on the road until they win one. I think they're too young and undisciplined to win on the road yet. Maybe toward the end of the year but not yet. Unlike Percy, I'm going to stick to that plan." skeets wrote: "Hate to say it, but each time this team starts to show progress, over confidence rears its ugly head and they put up a klunker, plus, Colorado likes to pack in a zone and the Dawgs get impatient. Maybe this is the game they make the maturity leap, but I don't think so." They were the big winners. UtahDawg picked Colorado to win 82-73 and skeets had the Buffaloes stampeding to an 80-71 victory. CU won 87-69. Good job folks. Contact me via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Twitter to claim your prizes. Alright let's move on. TODAY'S PAC-12 SCHEDULE: Washington (8-6, 2-1) at Utah (4-10, 1-1), 11 a.m. (FSN) Washington State (9-6, 1-2) at Colorado (10-4, 2-0), 1 p.m. (FSN) Stanford (12-3, 2-1) at Oregon State (11-4, 1-2), 7 p.m. (ROOT) Arizona State (5-9, 1-1) at UCLA (8-7, 1-2), 7:30 p.m. (FSAZ/FSW) Times PST Picks: Colorado, OSU and UCLA AND THE UW-UTAH WINNER IS … The Huskies 80-60. It has to end at some point, right? Washington's five-game road losing streak can't go on forever. Or can it? Coach Lorenzo Romar drew a parallel between the current skid to the seven straight road losses UW had at the start of the 2009-10 season. Once the Huskies finally won – the claimed a nail-biter at Stanford – they went on to win seven consecutive road games. Maybe it will happen again. The Utes appear to be the perfect opponent for a team that struggles on the road. They won their first Pac-12 game in dramatic fashion Thursday. The 62-60 overtime win against Washington State allowed Utah fans to momentarily forget how awful the season has been for the Utes. Romar admitted he was surprised by Utah's win Thursday considering last week they lost by 40 points in the conference opener at Colorado. He likened Utah's road problems to Washington's. "What's impressive is how hard they play," Romar said. "And how much energy they play with. That's something that catches your attention." It's a nice compliment, but the fact of the matter is Washington is favored at every position. UW also has a better bench and more tournament experience on the coaching staff. Utah is essentially a one-man team that lives and dies with 5-foot-11 senior guard Josh Watkins. He's the real deal. Tough and gritty. Creative in the paint. And he won't back down from a challenge. Washington has had difficulties with crafty, high-scoring guards this season. Nevada's Deonte Burton scored 31 points versus UW and South Dakota State's Nate Wolters had 34. It's a head-scratching problem considering the Huskies' stable of guards that has drawn interest from the NBA. There's two other significant variables working against the Huskies. For starters, the noon tip-off may be a problem. That's 11 a.m. in Seattle. Washington is 0-3 this season in games that begin at or before noon Pacific time. Not only have the Huskies lost those contests, they've been destroyed. — Saint Louis raced to 50-25 halftime lead before winning 77-64. — Duke led 40-26 at the break before claiming an 86-80 victory that wasn't as close as the score may indicate. — And South Dakota State led 51-33 at intermission during a 92-73 win at Washington. Someone needs to check the Huskies' alarm clocks this morning. There's a pattern here. Slow starts. Early deficits. And second-half rallies that fall short. Washington is a front-running team. Especially at home. It has yet to prove it has what it takes to make a comeback. Especially on the road. And speaking of the road, that's the other variable working against the Huskies. Their troubles have been well documented in this space so we won't rehash it all again. It's not as if the 15,000-seat Huntsman Center is an intimidating venue. Not sure how many Utah fans will make it today's game. Sophomore C.J. Wilcox, who starred at nearby Pleasant Grove High, expects a large gathering of family and friends. He's hoping his supporters will help the Huskies get their first win. It wouldn't hurt the Huskies to see some purple and gold sprinkled in the crowd today. At this point, anything would help.

Scale Wars: The Dark Side of Eating
I haven't seen the new Star Wars movie as of today, but I think the firestorm of heated criticism of the new Weight Watchers Program Beyond the Scale (SmartPoints) could compare with StormTroopers trying to defeat rebel forces (that is the theme of all the past movies). In my version of Star Wars I see the Weight Watcher Program as the "good" guys (rebels) and the Weight Watchers members are Stormtroopers who are moving at the command of "Lord Dark Fatty Sugar Vader." A bit harsh? Maybe but bottom line it is true.
All of us good little sugar and fat stormtroopers (myself included) are so yes I will use the word "addicted" to "dark side" of eating that we are reduced to helpless screaming two-year olds when we are told "no" that isn't good for us! While we have known it for a long time, Weight Watchers has in the past played the role of the endearing/enabling Grandparent who loves to spoil the grandkids with those sugary fatty treats. Even Weight Watchers are reconfiguring their products (to some degree) to make them more compatible with the new program.
We all know junk foods are formulated to make us addicted to them. Manufacturers spend billions of dollars on junk food science to manipulate us into eating their products. But yet we willing to continue to eat these chemically altered foods designed to enslave us to sugars and saturated fats. We have to break the cycle of depending on these types of foods not only for our health but for the sake of the generation to follow. Be an example to your children, grandchildren, students, friends and anyone, break the sugar/fat cycle!
What can you do to lessen your eating on the dark side?
I found this great article called "Sugar Addiction Escape Plan" that give ten steps (yes, that might sound like something else) to help free yourself from sugar addiction.
Weight Watchers – Beyond the Scale (Part 3) Routine
I am now on day 3 of the new SmartPoints plan and all has gone fairly smoothly. I did all my normal cooking/prep work for food this week yesterday. I boiled 14 eggs, washed and bagged carrots, grapes, cucumbers, apples and bananas and made two huge pots of pasta e fagioli soup. I re-worked the points for a few of my recipes to make sure they are SmartPoints compliant and read the new program materials again.
On a normal work week, I have my banana, apples, cucumbers, carrots and grapes for my daily snacks along with two hard-boiled eggs. I entered my normal two hard-boiled eggs and found out they had gone from four points for two eggs to five points for two eggs. I can live with that one point increase. I will be having my bowl (1.5 cups) of pasta e fagioli soup for lunch for four points. It went up one point, again, I can live with that unlike its inspiration the Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli is now SIX points per bowl! OUCH! Last week I made a double batch of corn chili pepper muffins and I will have one double muffin (maybe) with my soup for an additional four points or I might opt for a bagel thin since they stayed the same points wise.
It is interesting how my perspective has changed about the new program in the last week. I was very apprehensive and fearful this time last week and now I am like this is no big deal and not that big of a change for me food wise. The e-tools and phone app are still having issues and I am missing data but I was told today they are still in the process of moving my account and to give them a bit more time.
Many of my online Weight Watchers friends have refused to move to the new program. They have to do what they feel is right for them but I do hope they will take a deep breath, read more about it and give it a try for a month or so to see how it works. I know there are a few people who have zero interest in changing how they are eating but yet want to lose weight. I hope that in time they will realize that perhaps some of their current food choices are holding the back from reaching their weight loss goals or returning to their goal weight.
We are creatures of habit and if there is a disruption of routine it can throw us off-balance. The new program is a huge disruption of routine for many and a minor hiccup for some of us. I urge everyone to keep an open mind about the new changes. I suspect people will have more weight loss success following the new program. Why do I say that? I feel the new approach is what I have been doing myself for a while. I feel I have been very successful with the program (lost a total of 136 pounds) and this approach will work if you work it honestly! I didn't begin making low point choices, but I slowly migrated to more and more healthy choices and gravitated away from foods high in fats and sugar. Those types of foods are the exact foods Weight Watchers are hoping that we will more closely examine and decided if they are worthy of being included in our daily food choices. There are no "forbidden or off-limit" foods but the higher point values should help you to be more mindful before making that choice! Smart move Weight Watchers! Bravo and kudos!
I saw the meme online and feel it really sums up the changes to the program very nicely! The two approaches are hand and glove. You have to control not only how much you eat but what you chose to eat as well. But in all fairness I learned what to eat on PointsPlus and that is why I am not having many issues with the new program.

World Food Programme cuts aid for Palestinians
The World Food Programme (WFP) has suspended or reduced aid for some of its Palestinian beneficiaries in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip due to funding shortages, an official has said.
Some 27,000 Palestinians are no longer receiving aid through the United Nations programme since January 1 in the occupied West Bank, said Stephen Kearney, the organisation's director for the Palestinian territories.
Another 165,000, including 110,000 in Gaza, are receiving 80 percent of the usual amount, he said on Sunday.
The cuts were decided upon after a gradual reduction in donations over the past nearly four years, with US cuts having the biggest effect.

ARC Book Review: The Cutaway by Christina Kovac
ashley | As soon as I read the description for The Cutaway by Christina Kovac, I had a good feeling. No, I had a great feeling. It sounded exactly like the kind of mystery/thrillers I obsess over and the fact that Virginia was a journalist and in the media was something I could relate to personally, which would draw me in even further. I was sucked right into this book and it never let me go. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and it totally kept me spinning in circles, not sure exactly which direction I was being taken. This made me dizzy, but in that very great way.
This book actually reminded me a lot of the tv show Notorious, which focuses on the friendship between a news producer and a lawyer, however instead of lawyer, this time we see the friendship with a homicide detective. Virginia had that smart witted female ambition that I love to read about and I thought she was a well rounded character, with her own flaws that weren't too dwelled on but were prominent enough to make her complex and interesting.
In terms of the twists and turns, I was definitely being taken for a ride. There are a handful of suspects all who seem like they're being highlighted as the bad guy here, but with enough reasonable doubt that you can't be fully sure who to point the finger at. When it is finally revealed and the plot unravels, it was enough of a surprise to keep me enthralled through the remainder of the book and see how it all came together. And when that moment came, when everything cleanly ties up, there's wasn't a sense of disappointment, there was a feeling of relief and satisfaction. I even enjoyed how things ended for the characters, too, which doesn't always happen for me in books like this.
This wasn't an overly complicated book and it had a bit of that cheesy, almost too easy, tv crime show feel to it, but it was a great enjoyment to read and smart enough to keep you tailing along wherever Kovac wanted to lead you. This was a very satisfying read, worthy of 5 glasses of wine and I'm so grateful to Simon & Schuster Canada for sending me this.

My name is Anna, I'm 22 and I was born and raised in Germany. In August 2014, I decided to change my life and start all over again. I came to Canada to work as an Au Pair. Because I fell in love with this country I decided to stay and find a place to live and go to school. Now I'm enrolled at George Brown College, work at Jack Astors and found wonderful new friends - which I was really in need of.
Two years ago my beloved Daddy passed away after fighting for two years for his life. I grew up into an awesome family where there was ups and downs but we always had our backs.
My Dad was a fighter, not just because he fought for his life, because he fought for his family and friends! He was warm, kind and - cynical.
I loved him to bits.
After he passed away I went through the toughest phase in my life and I never thought I would experience this. I still think I'm running away from all of this and don't wanna face my problems. But the last two years made me stronger, mature and made me realize what's important in life.
I am more.
I lost friends, because of the way I am and I got new friends, because of the way I am.
I denied going to get the help I needed because I thought people would think I'm crazy if I'd go to the doctors.
Today I know that anyone who struggles in life NEEDS someone to talk to. You cannot go through life on your own without talking to your family, best friends or even strangers.
I want to raise awareness for mental health problems and tell that everyone struggles in life and it's not a shame to talk about it.
No one has to be alone with their problems.

They were Year 12 students Courtney, Kirrily, Shania and Alice, Year 11 students, Magella, Emerald, Abbey and Elizabeth and Year 10 student, Kate-Lyn. There were over 75 students entering from secondary schools across South Australia.
Our students' outfits were all quite remarkable and they modelled them gracefully on the catwalk. Congratulations to Elizabeth Nelson on winning an impressive third place in the Wearable Art category with her chandelier inspired creation, winning a $50 voucher from Needleworks, as well as a trophy.
Congratulations to Courtney Errey who placed first in the Wearable Art category with her amazing underwater themed garment. She won an overlocker and trophy as well as a place in the National finals in Melbourne in October. Courtney also won the judges' prize for Best Overall Garment where they commented on her excellent attention to detail. For this, Courtney received a 12 week modelling course with the Tanya Powell Model Agency.
We are very proud of our entrants and look forward to them showcasing the garments as part of the Creative Arts & Design Extravaganza in November.

Creative Writing Club
Here are some of the 80 word stories that students have submitted for a competition entitled: Around the World in 80 Words.
Secret Apocalypse
By Daniel, Year 8
Eighty years after World War Three in the year 2118, three boys were held in an underground bunker somewhere near London for safety. They had no idea of what was happening; it was all quiet, no London buses, no anything. It was like an apocalypse, maybe even an alien apocalypse. There was a guy dressed in army uniform lying dead on the floor: cold, bloody, short of food and assassinated. All I know is that London is dead....
Hunting Rome
By William, Year 8
It leapt; the gaping hole beneath, beckoning him to fall to its grasp. Its world seemed in slow motion, life slowly slipping away. But against all odds, two legs and two legs again, it landed. As its head turned, enemy closer than ever, it pounced again from one rooftop to another, the streets of Rome metres below its feet. Fiery lamps illuminated the crumbling stone walls. Dead end. It turned. The net was thrown, the fox was caught.
The Piece of Cheese in Skyrim
By Leo, Year 7
John found a piece of cheese but the mouse took it and ran into its hole. A skeever ate the mouse, then a cat ate the skeever, then a dog ate the cat. Afterwards, a tiger ate the dog, next a sabre-toothed tiger ate the tiger. Then a bear ate the sabre-toothed tiger. Finally, John killed the bear and got his cheese back.
The Legend of Scipiria Mountain
By Dominic, Year 7
Ben steered the Radiant Light through the fresh air as the patchy canvas sails wavered, while the rusty propellers spun rapidly. Suddenly, a puffy hand appeared in the quickly darkening sky. A finger pointed towards the ship and shot a bolt of lightning, electrifying the ship, leaving a substantial hole. It was sickening, being stuck in this chaos. The sacred mountain didn't want him here but Ben increased the throttle of the battered, old engine. All hell broke loose.
Death on the Loch
By Gemma Year 7
A breath, that's all it took. The Loch ness monster turned and suddenly the memory of my father's death came to my mind. He had been ripped to shreds by…. No, she couldn't say the name of the murderess. I, Beth Shamrock, for once in my life, was scared out of my wits. The Scottish highlands when you are faced with death, become a dark, sad, evil place. As the monster lunged, Beth regretted killing her father.

Fin Bank
Fin Bank has changed its name a couple of times over the last five years. It used to be called the IMB Bank before it became First Inland and now Fin Bank. One thing remains constant though, the blue glass walls that many locals believe creates an aura that attracts the ocean. The Atlantic Ocean overflows its banks at the Bar Beach close to this building but seems to have been well checked lately by the concrete boulders erected at its shores.

Old vinyl is alive and well and living comfortably in San Diego. No, I'm not talking about my sunflower-patterned patio chairs, although they, too, are covered in ancient vinyl. I speak of the back room of Stereo Unlimited (3191 Sports Arena Blvd., Sports Arena, stereounlimited.com), my first stop in my search for turntables-the kick-back-and-relax-to-the-glorioussounds-of-decades-gone-by kind of turntable, as opposed to the wikki-wikki-DJ kind, which are a whole other thing, like Taco Bell and Mexican food, both delicious, and related sort of, yet entirely unique to themselves. Because vinyl enthusiasts who listen to classic rock, classic jazz and classic-al desire belts in their spinning machines, whereas most DJs prefer (like the pseudo gangsta boys in my suburban 'hood) to go sans belt.
There's something comforting about a stereo shop- one that can stock as many as 40 turntables at a time (used and new)-that's also chock-full of records. You know they ain't faking it or breaking it, and you can actually hear the vinyl on most any turntable there as well. Mind you, those turntables will run you anywhere from $200 for a used low-end model to the price of a new sports-hybrid race-car. But don't sweat just yet-there are plenty in between.
A used Fons CQ30 will set you back $375, while pretty, wood-base Linn Sondek will run you $1,300. They sell a lot of Pro-Ject tables, which, used, will cost you $700 or so. The German Hanss turntables, of which there are many, are weird-looking in an '80s-meets-space-age sort of way. Read Yelp and you may be inclined to think the guys at Stereo Unlimited are snobs, but that's never been my experience. They're helpful enthusiasts, and with that comes a certain air, but, hey, it's thoroughly justified. They can talk helical armature and sinusoidal waveforms with ease. I don't know what that means, either. But they smile cheerfully while the syllables roll out their mouths.
Fred, owner of Classic Audio Repair (3401-A Adams Ave., Normal Heights, repairaudio.com) is equally infamous for his nimble skills with a vintage turntable and his ability to turn a five-minute conversation into a day breaker. No one will deny his talent when it comes to fixing used merch. And that's what he does. So, if you find yourself with a crazy-cool component off craigslist that's less than stellar, or from a thrift store, there's a reasonable chance Fred can fix it. And since that's the case, he also has a rack or three of turntables that he's fixed up and is now selling. A few years back, I picked up a Canadian-made space-age Electrohome turntable that doesn't possess the incredible tonal quality of the Hanss, but sure looks freaking cool in my living room. Both shops carry cartridges if you've got the turntable but are in need of a new needle.
While visiting Classic Audio Repair, I ran into Kurtis Strange. Boasting about his J.A. Michell GyroDec that's almost ready for resale, he reminded me that he also fixes up and turns around vintage stereo equipment for a living. Kurtis and I worked together years ago, and if it's cool and old and has anything to do with music whatsoever, Kurtis could write eight books on it. To see what stock he's got, search his name on Audiogon.com or find him on Facebook.
And if you've read this far and are saddened by my omission of the wikki wkki-I mean turntablism-I'll tell you where to start: You want a direct-drive turntable and you should head over to the School of DJ Rock, aka The San Diego Turntable Institute (7580 Trade St., Mira Mesa, myspace.com/sdti).
Now I'm gonna close the computer and turn up my Electrohome. I got myself a used copy of (Roy Ayers Presents) Ubiquity's Star Booty at Stereo Unlimited and it's old-schooldance-party time. I'm a star, you're a star, starbooty .
