Hello again, everyone. Long time, no blog. Sorry about that. I figured I'd turn this thing over to Mark Singelais for a bit while he covered Will Watch 2007.
Quite honestly, I'm glad there was no — knock on wood — Fran Watch this year. For starters, I enjoy working with Fran. And second, trying to anticipate a coach's decision, gauging the truth versus the propaganda, etc., is a royal pain in the neck. Mark spent a lot of hours at his desk and on his phone to nail that story.
But I digress.
Haddix and the NFL. Weird, huh? I never figured the Big Fella for professional football. But hey, he's got the pedigree, right? As you probably remember, his father played in the NFL for eight seasons. In fact, Michael Sr. is a former first-round draft pick.
Which brings me to another point: Haddix cannot be drafted. The NFL League Office ruled that because he began his college studies five years ago and never played college football in a four-year span, he is ineligible for the draft. (Oddly enough, they also noted he was eligible for the 2006 Draft.)
Haddix is now a free agent who can be signed at any time — even before the draft. Don't snicker. His number of suitors appears to be growing by the day.
Add the Philadelphia Eagles to the list of interested teams. Haddix plans to work out for them on Monday. Sometime soon after that, he expects to work out for the Giants, too. He already had scheduled a session with the Minnesota Vikings in May.
Though he has not signed with an agent, Haddix has been in contact with JR Rickert, who represents more than 30 NFL players. Rickert said in an e-mail he spoke with the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers on behalf of Haddix.
This, of course, all makes for an obvious "like father, like son." Haddix's father played for the Packers and Eagles.

Story highlights
- Apollo Nida appears on the reality TV series with wife Phaedra Parks
- Nida allegedly set up fake companies to steal personal info
- Feds accuse Nida of stealing millions with identify theft
- Nida spent five years in prison before marrying Parks
The drama is real for "Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Phaedra Parks, whose husband faces charges in a fraud scheme that a federal agent says stole millions of dollars.
Apollo Nida, who appears on the reality TV series with Parks, was arrested last week following a year-long investigation by the U.S. Secret Service, according to the criminal complaint.
Nida, who served five years in a federal prison for auto title fraud before marrying Parks in 2009, allegedly set up several fake collection companies as part of the scheme, Special Agent Alexandre Herrera said in a sworn affidavit.
But the only thing the collection companies collected was the personal information of people that Nida used to get fraudulent auto loans, according to the complaint.
The break in the case came in September, when federal investigators arrested Gayla St. Julein, a woman who "described herself as Nida's 'right hand b****' in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes," the complaint said.
St. Julien, who previously served prison time for identity theft, told agents that Nida "only paid her 'scraps'" for her work, compared to the amount of money he made from the fraud schemes," the filing said.
She turned on him and agreed to let agents record their phone calls, it said.
Nida "knowingly and willfully execute and attempt to execute a scheme to defraud federally insured financial institutions by depositing stolen and fraudulently obtained checks and fraudulently obtained auto loan proceeds into bank accounts opened in the stolen identities of real persons, and conspire with others to do so, and knowingly convert to his use and the use of others stolen and fraudulently obtained United States Treasury Checks," Agent Herrera said.
Nida's fake companies fraudulently signed up with "LexisNexis, Equifax, and Mircrobilt databases" to steal personal information on people.
Along with the fraudulent auto loan checks, Nida stole U.S. Treasury checks, "retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies," the complaint said.
Agents recorded phone calls St. Julien made to Nida during which he discussed details of pending fraudulent auto loans and "details of future auto loan checks that he was expecting to receive any day now from in the mail," the affidavit said.

So Mommy Niri Camp 2013 begins! Send Help! #niricamp13MY VIEWS, PARENTING | Nirasha Jaganath | June 11, 2013 at 5:16 am
Today I made a suggestion box. I decided to create a summer camp for my girls. I wanted their input as I started this scary process. I expect my kids to be part of the process. We learn that in negotiations, right? To be fully invested in a plan, everyone has to feel they were part of it. I am not the most patient of people. Who am I kidding, I am not patient at all. Back when I was awaiting college applications, I got a response back for studying to be a teacher, an application I sent on a whim. I got accepted with a scholarship and my mum begged me not to accept. My mum loved me to bits but we was fully aware of my impatience around kids. When I had my own I toyed with the idea of homeschooling them. I (thought) I was pretty serious about it too. I purchased a curriculum and all but I underestimated homeschooling with having a little baby underfoot as well.
I decided to run my own "Mommy Niri" camp for my 2 girls. I decided to undertake this crazy initiative for a few reasons:
- I was working way too hard and long on my blog and began to feel stressed at being stretched thin. When I left corporate world after my kid was born I felt like I was struggling to do 2 jobs well so I chose my kid. I gave up a fabulous salaried job to focus on my kid. I felt I needed to take things slower to do that again. So expect a lighter flow here in summer but more of following our antics along.
- My 6 year old is at a precocious stage of not totally understanding that life is not all bed of roses and while most would not consider this important, I do. I grew up dirt poor and feel it important to understand the value of things.
- My 8 year old child, who has Autism, is at a stage where social skills are the toughest yet, and I need to be immersed into what is going on to help her form the foundation of relationships well.
- It should be way cheaper. I have been tracking coupons, deal sites, hoarding my gift cards etc all to use this summer. Camps are expensive and I miss the girls.
- I want to be more involved, not just be there, but understand what makes my kids click.
- I wanted to balance fun, learning and adventure in my kids day.
- We all needed a break. In between running from school to therapy sessions to activities I am ready to cry on any given day, so we wanted something not so rigid in a day.
- To address our "to do's" – the kids have been waiting for focus on activities that required our full attention and they have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust after being said several times "not now"! Time to do things like build a birdhouse, even if it takes all day.
- The learning needed to be upped the ante. While homework gets home and tests are written I am not too sure as much learning is done. With my older child being ahead of the typical level she ends up writing tests ahead of the class, testing what she learned but I'm not convinced learning the lesson of "how".
- A test to see if I have changed (in temperament)

Johnny Lee – Wii Remote Hacks
As revolutionary as the Wii experience has been to the gaming community, we have only begun to scratch the surface of what's possible. Johnny Lee is a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University and over the past 6 months he has developed a number of innovative uses for the Wii remote, particularly taking advantage of its high resolution infrared camera.
Mr. Lee recently gave a talk at the TED conference where he demonstrated a few of these Wii-mote hacks. Probably the most impressive is the use of IR goggles to allow the software to provide 3D feedback based on the user's motion. This could have huge implications for the future of 3D gaming.

Dental X-rays go digital
Dental radiographs (X-rays) can provide essential information about oral health and are an important part of a patient's dental record. Some dental offices now use computers to help capture, store and transmit dental radiographs.
Dental radiographs produced with a special computer create digital images (computerized dental radiographs) that can be displayed and enhanced on the computer monitor.
Digital imaging involves the use of a radiography machine like that used to create dental radiographs made with film. But instead of using film in a plastic holder, the clinician makes digital images using a small electronic sensor that is placed in the mouth to capture the image.
With digital radiographic images, technical errors often can be corrected to provide an optimal radiograph without having to make another exposure. The clinician can use magnification to enhance specific problem areas of a tooth, as well as alter brightness and contrast in the image. Viewing an enhanced dental radiograph on a computer screen can help a dentist better see a problem area.
The dental office also can print or copy digital radiographs. Because the images are stored on the computer, they can be compared easily with future dental radiographs to see if and how conditions have changed.
Digital radiographs eliminate the need for film and film processing chemicals that generate waste. Special light boxes to view the traditional radiographic films also are no longer needed.
Many diseases of the oral cavity (which includes the teeth, surrounding tissues and bone) cannot be seen when the dentist examines a patient's mouth. A radiographic examination may help the dentist see small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing fillings, bone destruction from a tooth infection, bone loss due to periodontal disease and other problems.

MOSCOW — A Russian rocket carrying three navigational satellites broke apart in a fiery explosion seconds after liftoff Tuesday morning, the ninth failure in the country's troubled space program in the past 30 months and the third this year.
The rocket's dramatic disintegration leaves in doubt a scheduled launch this month of a cargo vessel carrying water and other supplies to the international space station. On Tuesday, Russian officials put a hold on launches from the leased space center at Baikonur, in Kazakhstan, while they investigate the cause of the explosion and the damage to the launch site. A spokesman for the space agency Roscosmos said it is too soon to know how long the hold will be in effect.
But the RIA Novosti news agency quoted an unnamed official in the space agency as saying that there would probably be no launches for two to three months.
The next crew change at the space station is scheduled for Sept. 25, also by way of Baikonur. The United States has relied on Russian rockets to ferry astronauts to and from the station.
Analysts here say Russia has been careful to maintain standards in its manned-spaceflight program. But unmanned launches, they say, have been plagued by obsolete design, sloppy engineering, poor training and management, and conspicuous corruption.
The rocket that exploded Tuesday, on live television, was a Proton-M, derived from a 1965 Soviet predecessor. In February, a Zenit naval-launched rocket carrying a telecommunications satellite veered into the ocean. A Defense Ministry satellite also failed this year, the Interfax news agency reported.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev demanded the names of those responsible for Tuesday's crash. A criminal investigation also was opened. In Kazakhstan, an environmental commission was formed over fears of widespread rocket-fuel contamination at the site. A Kazakh official told Interfax that the rocket was carrying 600 tons of toxic substances.
When it hit the ground, it left a crater 150 to 200 yards across.
Interfax calculated the financial loss to Russia from the launch failure at about $140 million.

Dainese Sold for 130 Million Euro
As with most things like this the details sound dull. Investcorp describes itself as a; 'Leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products.'
The deal was announced last month. Dainese's big boss, Lino Dainese agreed terms for the company at the 130 million Euro value and Lino will retain a minority stake in the business alongside Investcorp. The deal is also believed to include the AGV helmet brand.
It's an interesting move for Dainese brand, given that over the past few years Dainese has actively expended the range of sports it covers with its protevtive gear to include winter sports, cycling and horse riding.
There's also been a push by the company through its Dainese Technology Center, which is an R&D technical center developing protective technology, most recently coming up with the firms Dainese D-Air airbag system.
Lino Dainese said: 'It was hugely important to us to find the right partner in this period of strong development for the company. I believe that Investcorp's proven track record, global presence and network will support the company's continued international expansion and product innovation. I also believe that their support will enable me to refocus on my passion, driving forward technological advances in our product line and, in particular, the D-Air system.'
Hazem Ben-Gacem, head of Investcorp's European corporate investment team added: 'Dainese is exactly the type of company we look to invest in, a successful business looking for a partner for the next phase of growth. We look forward to work with Dainese and to strive to increase its penetration into new markets.'

Pap's Foods
Authentic 100% beef jerky and beef sticks
Pap's was founded by Rick Waldon who knew there were many beef jerky brands out there. Not satisfied with what was available Rick wanted to sell the real beef type of beef jerky he created. The beef jerky he found in local stores was the mass produced type, chopped and formed made with lower grades of meats and fillers. Rick was determined to make the kind of jerky he grew up eating as a kid in Idaho. He wanted to create the very best meat snacks, healthy, high in protein, minimally processed and full of flavor. Just good damn jerky.
Rick began experimenting with different cuts of beef, marinades and spices, to create the recipe for Pap's. Premium, very lean, thin cuts of solid beef, with no preservatives or MSG. The next steps were marinating and slowly cooking for specific periods of time and exact temperatures. Pap's finished beef jerky is tender, healthy, high in protein, with robust seasonings that compliment the flavor of the beef. Focus on these details is what makes Pap's jerky so tender it chews down like a steak.
Pap's beef sticks are 100% USDA pure American beef. Unlike most other beef jerky brands, fillers such as pork, corn solids, soy flour or mechanically separated chicken are NEVER used. Most commercially marketed beef sticks will contain one or all of those ingredients. Pap's follows old world sausage making techniques that make a much better beef stick. Using only the finest quality beef, seasonings and spices available. We simply say they are "Bone A Fide".
Pap's has been honored to receive "Best" ratings from places like:
We hope you enjoy our beef jerky and beef sticks. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and Pinterest for updates and news about Pap's Beef Jerky and Pap's Beef Sticks.

Too alluring to install! After getting a realistic experience of the gold plated toilet demanding a confounding 250,000 Euros, all our eyes were on swarovski crystal studded toilet. And here it is busy anchoring an elegant commode's 50,000 handset Swarovski crystals from the Isis collection designed by Jemal Wright of Hollywood, Florida. The creation can be seen as another value addition to the portfolio of the same maker who delivered chrome-plated toilet for its filthy-rich customers.
The iced-out flashy toilet is embedded with swarvoski crystals. The artist also offers identical sink eyeing all prospective yet proud owner. Sooner, you can complete your kit as the artist to offer an ice-encrusted double slipper tub by spring of 2008. FYI, featured above this toilet bathed in swarovski demands a biting sum of $75,000 and got one deserving owner as well.

Pre-cut fabrics are just that: fabrics that have already been cut into the most common sizes used in quilting patterns and packaged together, usually by fabric line. My introduction to them was through Moda Bakeshop, a website for Moda Fabrics that has labelled each type of pre-cut as a common bakery item and publishes tutorials for quilts and accessories made using said pre-cuts. This is one of my favorite sites to browse for ideas for quilts!
These are the various types of pre-cuts and their sizes, courtesy of Moda Bakeshop:
Jelly Rolls: contain 40 strips of fabric, 2 1/2 inches wide x length-of-fabric (45 inches). These strips are rolled into the shape of a jelly roll - round and flat.
Honey Buns: contain 40 strips, each 1 1/2" wide x length-of-fabric (45 inches). Packaged together rolled into the shape of a honey bun.
Dessert Rolls: contain 20 strips, each 5" wide x length-of-fabric (45 inches). Packaged together in an oblong roll.
Charm Packs: contain 42 squares, each 5"x5"
Charm squares I bought several years ago
Layer Cakes: contain 42 squares, each 10"x10"
|A layer cake I bought
Moda Candy (aka Mini Charms and Petit Fours): contains 42 squares, each 2 1/2"x2 1/2"
Honeycombs: contain 40 laser-cut 6-inch hexagons
Turnovers: contain 80 6-inch triangles, two each of each print in a collection
Other pre-cuts:
Fat quarter bundles: one of each print in a collection. Each fat quarter measures 18"x22". The reason it's called a fat quarter is because it's a quarter of a yard. If you just cut a quarter of a yard off a bolt of fabric, it will be 9"x45" - a long, skinny piece of fabric. For a fat quarter, you double the width (18") and half the length (22"), making it "fat," - but you still have a quarter of a yard of fabric. Make sense? You can also find fat quarters as individual pieces of fabric; they're lots of fun to collect and play with!
|Fat quarter bundles (two of them) on the right and a jelly roll on the left
Fat eighth bundles: one of each print in a collection, each measuring 9"x22". Same concept as the fat quarter, except it's just an eighth of a yard.What I love about pre-cuts is that I don't have to spend time cutting out small pieces of fabric. If a pattern calls for 5" squares, a charm pack will work perfectly.
I also love that I can have samples of every piece of a fabric line. My Wal-Mart here sells jelly rolls, fat quarters, charm squares, but they are the fabrics that they have in their regular fabric departments, not designer lines. That's not a problem when I want to play around with them for myself, although I use designer fabrics for items I make and sell in HandmadeByGrace*, my online shop.The point is, I like having lots of different fabrics to choose from without having to buy large amounts of any particular piece.
When you use a pre-cut package, all your fabrics will go together, because they're all from the same line of fabric: no anxiety over whether the fabrics will play nice together!
Another perk of using pre-cuts is the amount of tutorials, patterns*, and books* available for using them. There's quite a selection of them online and in bookstores.
One downside of using pre-cuts is that, compared to yardage (fabric right off the bolt), pre-cuts are more expensive when priced per yard or meter. But that's the case when you buy anything pre-packaged, right? Sometimes I'd rather have the convenience of pre-cuts, and you always pay for convenience. It's just a matter of what matters most to you at the time.
So that's my not-completely-comprehensive explanation of pre-cuts and why I like them. Do any of you use them for your sewing or quilting?

However, there are a couple of affiliate links contained in this entry, and if you click on a link and order a product, I may earn a small affiliate commission. I've also linked to my online shop!

The bark paintings of Arnhem Land in northern Australia are among the continent's most distinctive art forms. The black background of this work indicates it is likely a mid-twentieth-century work by an artist of the Ingura people of Groote Eylandt, a large island off Arnhem Land's northeast coast. Contemporary Arnhem Land bark paintings likely originated from the paintings formerly made for recreational or instructional purposes on the interiors of temporary bark-covered shelters built for protection against the torrential downpours of the annual rainy season. As these bark paintings became known to Western audiences, Arnhem Land painters began to create independent works on sheets of flattened bark for the fine art market.
This painting appears to depict the bust of a fantastic creature with the crested head of a bird and the neck and shoulders of a human. It probably represents a being from the Dreaming (primordial creation period), when the ancestors of birds and animals walked the earth in human, or humanlike, forms.

Convenient hotel to Delhi airport Jan 03, 2010
We have stayed twice now at the Radisson New Delhi on separate trips to India.. the first time in 2006 we used Radisson points to stay for one night as we had an early flight the next morning. The hotel is very convenient to the airport and is a good (but expensive) option if you have an early flight. On our second trip, the hotel let us leave our Bhutan souvenirs while we went to Agra for a few days. They have a good buffet restaurant. Our first stay we were upgraded to a club room as they were full, but the 2nd stay we had an ordinary room. Both rooms seemed very similar, very modern and clean.

good hotel located by the airport Jul 06, 2009
This hotel is the first one I stayed at in India. This place is a good place to set up shop because it is centrally located (close to gurgaon and New Delhi), and has lots of experience setting up rooms for business and arranging tours or transport to interesting places.
The best thing about it is that it is a five minute drive from the airport, which is important when you arrive at 2 in the morning.
What this place has is numerous resturants, a cool atmosphere, and seems "indian". Also has the best internet access I have seen in india.

Scientific Update
A Review of Recent Scientific Papers Related to Vegetarianism
Note to Food Companies: Fortify Orange Juice With Vitamin D2
Vitamin D is found in fortified foods and supplements in two forms: vitamin D2 (derived from yeast) and vitamin D3 (derived from lanolin from sheep's wool). There is a question as to whether vitamin D2 is as effective as vitamin D3 in preventing vitamin D deficiency, although several recent studies indicate that both forms of vitamin D are equally effective. A new study compared vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 given as either a pill or in fortified orange juice. The study subjects were healthy 18- to 84-year-olds. They took 1,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D in one of the forms for 11 weeks. At the end of the study, there was no significant difference in blood vitamin D levels between those who took vitamin D2 or vitamin D3, suggesting that both forms are equally effective. There was also no significant difference between those who consumed vitamin Dfortified orange juice and those who took a vitamin D supplement. Currently, orange juice is fortified with vitamin D3. This study suggests that fortification with vitamin D2 is effective and would make fortified orange juice a viable source of vitamin D for vegans.
Biancuzzo RM, Young A, Bibuld D, et al. 2010. Fortification of orange juice with vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 is as effective as an oral supplement in maintaining vitamin D status in adults. Am J Clin Nutr 91:1621-26.
Soy and School Lunch
Soy products can add variety to school lunches, provide a vegetarian option, and help to reduce the lunches' saturated fat, cholesterol, and calorie content. The school lunch program in Montgomery County, MD, the largest school food service east of the Mississippi River, conducted a trial of soy products in five middle schools. These schools were chosen to reflect the cultural diversity of the district. Four soy-based entrées were chosen to replace existing meat-based entrées. They were nuggets, a 'hybrid' patty with half ground beef and half soy, soy-based chicken-less slices on a Caesar salad, and macaroni and cheese with soy pasta. The soy-based entrées had 18 percent fewer calories, 45 percent less fat, 57 percent less saturated fat, and 20 percent less cholesterol than traditional entrées. Protein content was equivalent, fiber was six times higher in the soy-based entrées, and sodium was 20 percent higher. Different versions (soy-based and traditional) of the entrées were served on consecutive weeks. Students were not told which items were soy-based. Students selected soy-based burgers, nuggets, and pasta as often as they chose traditional products and consumed the same amounts as they did of traditional products. The chicken-less slices were not as well accepted, possibly due to appearance. This study suggests that students accept soy-based entrées and that these entrées can offer nutritional benefits.

A Walnut a Day...
People who eat four or more servings of nuts per week have, on average, a 37 percent lower risk of heart disease than those who seldom or never eat nuts. One way that nuts may help reduce the risk of heart disease is by their effects on blood cholesterol levels. Researchers at Loma Linda University combined results from 25 studies conducted in seven countries. All studies involved a comparison between subjects eating a specified amount of nuts and those not eating nuts (control group). Daily nut consumption in the study groups averaged 2.4 ounces per day. Compared with the control group, subjects in the group eating nuts had a reduction in both total and LDL-cholesterol levels. HDL-cholesterol was not affected. The effects were similar in men and women, and the type of nut did not seem to matter. Subjects eating higher amounts of nuts had a greater reduction in blood cholesterol levels than those eating lower amounts; nuts also seemed most effective in those with initially high LDL-cholesterol and in those with a low BMI. This study suggests that eating moderate amounts of nuts, along with an overall health-promoting diet, can help to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Vegetarians Less Likely to Be Depressed or Stressed
Some studies suggest that the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA play a role in mental health and reduce the risk of depression and schizophrenia. This has potentially important implications for vegetarians whose diets contain little or no EPA or DHA. Very little research has been conducted on the mental health of vegetarians. Volunteers from Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) communities in the Phoenix, AZ, and Santa Barbara, CA, areas were surveyed and completed two psychometric tests. One test measured depression, anxiety, and stress, while the other measured mood disturbances like tension, anger, and confusion. Sixty subjects were vegetarian, and 78 were not. Scores from the psychometric tests indicated that vegetarians had an overall better mood and significantly fewer negative emotions. Vegetarians were less likely to have scores indicating depression, anxiety, or stress. Higher intakes of alpha-linolenic acid, another omega-3 fatty acid, by the vegetarians may be a partial explanation for the findings.

Soy Does Not Have a Feminizing Effect on Men
Every now and then, VRG gets questions about soy safety for men. Sensational stories in the popular press, often based on research in mice or rats, lead men to wonder if eating soy will lead to infertility or feminization. A recent report looks at the published research studies and concludes that exposure to soy isoflavones, in reasonable amounts, does not have a harmful effect on hormone levels (testosterone or estrogen) and does not affect sperm or semen production. In one anecdotal study where soy consumption may have led to male breast enlargement, the 60-year old subject drank three quarts of soymilk every day, an amount far above what most people use. Reports like this one may make some men avoid soy. This is unfortunate because soy foods may reduce the risk of prostate cancer and inhibit its spread (metastasis). Mark Messina, PhD, a soy expert, concludes, "Men can feel confident that making soy a part of their diet will not compromise their virility or reproductive health."
Messina M. 2010. Soybean isoflavone exposure does not have feminizing effects on men: a critical examination of the clinical evidence. Fertil Steril 93:2095-2104.
Choose Brown Rice
Every year, the average person in the U.S. eats approximately 20 pounds of rice—almost half a pound a week. More than 70 percent of that rice is white rice. Long ago, brown rice was the grain of choice. Then, people figured out how to remove rice's brown hull, leaving less flavorful but what some said was more aesthetically pleasing white rice. Unfortunately, white rice has lost its fiber and many vitamins and minerals. Some of the nutrients are added back when the rice is enriched, but the fiber is not replaced. This leads us to a recent study that looked at brown rice and white rice use by nearly 200,000 U.S. adults and whether rice choices affected risk of diabetes. Those who ate more than five servings of white rice a week had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than did those eating less than one serving of white rice a month. In contrast, subjects eating two or more servings of brown rice a week had a lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared to those eating less than one serving of brown rice a month. These associations did not go away even when factors such as body weight, smoking, activity, and family history were adjusted for. Replacing as little as a third of a serving of white rice a day with the same amount of brown rice led, on average, to a 16 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes. There are many possible explanations for these benefits of brown rice; it may be the higher fiber content, or the magnesium or other minerals that aren't lost in refining. In any case, if you usually eat white rice, give brown rice a try.

Is it time for a new approach...managing your energy instead of your time?
In the race against time, who is winning-you or time?
What tracks has chasing time left across your life? Gray hair? Wrinkles? Extra padding around your middle? Acid reflux?
Kids that don't talk to you? Guilt over missed school and family events?
A Google search for "time management" yields 129,000,000 results. Individually and as organizations, we spend millions on books, DVDs, courses and coaches to help us manage our time in hopes that it will improve our productivity, bottom line and peace of mind. In fact, I talk to people every day who are confident, successful and accomplished in their career and yet, they inevitably reveal the chink in their armor "I'm sorry, but I ran out of time." or "I wish I could , but I don't have time." or "Someday, I'll make the time." It begs the question, who is winning?
It's time to change the game. Time to stop falling for the #1 form of self sabotage that gets in the way of achieving your goals and living the life of your dreams. In order to realize your full potential and-by the way- ENJOY life in the process, it is critical to stop trying to outsmart time and begin to manage energy instead. Physical, mental and emotional energy. No more dragging out of bed in the morning and pretending to be excited about the day. Stop saying no to your family because you can't fit it all in. Give up the notion that things will be better in the future if you put in a few more hours now.Oh- and BONUS-have clearer skin, lose weight, boost your immune system and just plain feel better.
There are two important reasons to manage your energy instead of your time:
* If you aren't managing your energy, you are voluntarily putting obstacles between you and your goals and dreams
* Energy is a barometer of how well your body is in balance. Low energy signals compromised brain and body function that eventually results in degeneration of cells which means aging, illness and premature death.
As human beings, we are meant to feel good. We are genetically designed to live to be 120 years old and to have fun doing so. We should wake up easily in the morning and not crash when we get home at night. We shouldn't need caffeine and stimulants to work up enthusiasm about our day. We don't need to feel tired, hopeless or overwhelmed.
Boost your energy intentionally by why, what and how you eat. Actively invest in your energy by cleansing or fasting 2-3 times a year and checking for common deficiencies that interfere with digestion and absorption. Make sure your thoughts lift you up not drain you. Most importantly, stop thinking artificial energy helps you "work well under pressure." I assure you, there will be a consequence. I invite your to Subscribe to One Whole Health...FOR YOU! for monthly tips on investing in your energy.
All the energy in the world is available to you-you simply need to clean the glass and let it shine through the window. When you think of the biggest vision that you have for your life, I hope you know see that there is no way you can live to your full potential without a high energy level. And I hope you choose to begin growing your energy by registering for the group course Managing Your Energy Not Your Time. Don't wait for the day stands still.

Happy Friday! Did you have a good week? I was not nearly as productive as I should have been. In fact, I've been slacking off a lot lately. Sometimes, that's what you need before you dive back into projects.This delicious bundle of Anna Maria's Fibs & Fables is sitting out where I can dream and drool over it. It matches my new rotary cutter (a gift from the great folks at Olfa). Did you know you can get the cutter in royal purple?It looks great with Joel Dewberry's latest collection, Atrium. I had a FQ bundle leftover from some work for Free Spirit. I cut it up into squares and strips. It's waiting at the machine for me to start sewing. I'm trying to decide on the coordinating solid–white or gray. Maybe both.And then there's this fun stack to give you a sneak peek at the fabric for next month's One Fabric Nation posts.
I hope you have a very Happy Friday and a wonderful weekend. Happy sewing!

San Diego Comic-Con '09
I spent all day Saturday in the San Diego Convention Center, attending Comic-Con with my brother. Once again, an amazing experience.
The first thing we did was make a bee line to the SAE/FSM booth, where I picked up a copy of the Battlestar Galactica Season 4 soundtrack. After that was done, we took a quick walk around the rest of the exhibit hall. This is a pretty damned big exhibit hall, spanning the entire bottom floor of the convention center. With all the people there to push through, it takes about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other.
While walking around the hall I happened to find Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, with cover art done by friend Cyril Van Der Haegen. I mentioned this to the guy behind the counter, but he just feigned interest hoping I would buy it! Oh well.
After that I went looking for the Oni Press booth, where I bought my brother the first Scott Pilgrim book. He finished reading it before we left (he was not so interested in Ray Bradbury) so we went down to the floor again and he bought himself the next few books in the series. With any luck, I'll have got my brother hooked on graphic novels! I also went to the Top Shelf booth hoping to pick up a copy of Blankets but they were all out.
The first panel we attended was for Dune, with Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. They were discussing their latest novel The Winds of Dune and commenting on the process of making a new book every year. I must admit, I have read many of the new Dune books and although they aren't Frank Herbert material, I have enjoyed most of them ( Sandworms of Dune being a notable exception for having a very shallow plot and invoking several dei ex machina).
After that we headed back over to the SAE/FSM booth to get the CDs signed by Bear McCreary. We were first in line! At the same time, Bryan Lee O'Malley (author of Scott Pilgrim) was signing at the Oni Press booth—we went over there afterward but the line was so long that we didn't care to try for it. The Bioshock 2 booth was small—basically a small veiled closet with a gameplay trailer playing for 5-6 people at a time. But that trailer made the game out to look pretty awesome. You play the first big daddy, the only one with free will. You can take airlocks to go outside of Rapture into the ocean. You now make the choice to either harvest or adopt little sisters. Adopting them seems to store them inside your suit somewhere, it wasn't too clear on that. You can take them out to have them harvest adam from certain bodies. While harvesting, you need to guard them from hoards of splicers. Then comes something new—your little sister says "Uh oh, I don't think big sis wants me to play with you anymore", and in comes the big sister—these are very quick, super-agile enemies that possess telekinesis.
The second panel we attended was that of Ray Bradbury. He talked of his fascination of space exploration and walking on the moon for the first time. Perhaps most interestingly, he claimed to have total recall of his entire life. He said he was a 10 month baby, and developed hearing and sight within the womb. He claims his memories go back to being in the womb and after birth.
The final panel was for Human Target, the new TV series from Fox. In the show, our main hero (Christopher Chance) gets hired by rich people to solve any problems or threats against them. He is a very intelligent detective, impersonator, and all-around bodyguard. It stars Mark Valley as Christopher Chance, Jackie Earle Haley as Guerrero, and Chi McBride as Winston, with the score done by Bear McCreary. We got to screen the pilot before a short Q&A with the stars and producers.
Human Target has some pretty awesome action scenes, pretty similar to the Bourne series. It is some of the best action I've seen on TV for as long as I can remember. The acting is stellar, and the score sounds somewhere between Caprica and The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The characters have a light quirkiness similar to Pushing Daisies. The show is being billed as a procedural with a light sprinkling of serial, which is pretty typical for Fox. They want to give you a new action movie every week. Unfortunately, the pilot had a lot of faults that I hope they steer clear of in the series.
For one thing, the characters are too flawless. The main characters—all antiheroes it seems—always know exactly what to say, have a perfect plan, and immediately know exactly what to do to keep the plan on track (pun!) from any curveballs. Not once did it show an imperfection, and I had a hard time believing or relating to them because of it.
Another problem I saw was with Guerrero—he had no introduction, and just sort of imposed himself on the story. He is a computer hacker, but it never really showed that process. Most of his scenes were just quick cuts to him revealing some new information that he hacked off screen.
I had planned to meet some friends while I was there, but that was a pretty big failure all around. One didn't pick up his phone. Another didn't wake up until really late and my phone died in the middle of a conversation with him. The one guy I was able to meet I didn't do anything with because he spent the whole day playing D&D.
The BBC America booth featured a lot of Doctor Who trinkets and apparel, with lots of advertising for the new Torchwood mini-season Children of Earth(which is pretty good, by the way—go watch it!). There was an awesome life-sized Dalek on display.
We spent the two hour ride home listening to the Battlestar CD, and it didn't disappoint!
Street Fighter IV rocks on PC
Street Fighter IV came out a few days after I left to visit family and I've been chomping at the bit to play it ever since. I came back home yesterday, and it was the second thing I did after stepping off the plane (the first being grabbing some fish tacos at El Siete Mares).
Having played the arcade and 360 versions, I knew what to expect. You get a lot of your favorite old characters, including all the originals from Street Fighter II and introducing four new to this game. Gameplay is a lot like Street Fighter III, with a big focus on strategy and the ability to pull off devastating but finger-twisting combos. A new feature I really like is a challenge mode that teaches you the special moves and combos your character can do, which really helps when you're trying to learn how to use one of the new characters or just refreshing yourself on an old one.
The only part still missing is the World Tour mode of the home editions of Street Fighter Alpha 3. As you fought through the roster, the points you get would let you level up. This let you upgrade your character to shift between a focus of power or defense, and let you select power-ups that let you do longer and more complex combos. It created a more unfair form of gameplay compared to Arcade mode and probably would have been too unbalanced for competitive gameplay, but it was still a lot of fun and would have been great to have in IV.
One thing I was worried about was how good the game would run on my system—from past experience, games ported from console to PC tend to run amazingly sluggish. With a sigh of relief, I put those worries to rest when I saw the game not skip a beat when run with all the settings maxed out. The game even has a special PC-specific settings screen with loads of rendering tweaks including the new Ink, Watercolor, and Posterize visual styles.
I've been having a lot of fun in IV between all the various modes of play. It doesn't top Alpha 3 as my favorite of the Street Fighter series, but it's up above everything else!
Bear McCreary to score Capcom's Dark Void
Bear McCreary, composer of Battlestar Galactica, let out the information today that he is scoring Capcom's new game, Dark Void. I remember some videos of this coming out a while ago, from E3 maybe, and it looked like a pretty fun game but after so much time I had forgotten about it. These new videos make it look as awesome as ever, though, and with Bear scoring it, you know the music will be amazing!
If you like his music, consider posting at Capcom where Bear is trying to get authorization to release a soundtrack CD.

Quick update
It's been so busy lately. We sold our home, and have staked a claim on property in Texas. I figure we'll need to be out of our current place some time near the end of April. We'll rent for a while in a place near where we live now before heading down some time in the summer. So in the next several weeks we'll have to get all of our stuff out of our place and put some in storage and get rid of some.
Because of the move--the busy-ness of the coming weeks and the shortness of time until we leave for Texas--my wife, Kim, and I are slowly backing out of our ministry responsibilities. I'm also still looking for employment in Texas--nothing for sure yet. Thankfully I have made some connections with people in upper management, who are letting others know about my job hunt. For the past 18 months or so, Kim and I have felt assured this is God's will, so we know He won't lead us astray. He may not work on our timetable, but He's never late. Kim is pretty much assured of employment, so I'm thankful for that. My position with my current company is by no means assured. There have been several downsizings since I've been in my current division, and from what I can see I'm very near to being the next one out whenever another downsizing occurs. So I'll most definitely need to find another job one way or the other. It doesn't look good for my current company--there are very few job openings of any kind available in the whole country, and nothing for my skills. Oh well. God has known this day would come.
We also have made slow but sure progress in our adoption paperwork. The dossier is a threatening pile of to-dos, but we know we have to take it one step at a time.
Our ongoing challenge with our medical insurance continues. I don't know how many hours I've spent on the phone trying to straighten things out. And each time it seems to be fixed, either something else happens with that situation or another problem develops with a different medical issue.
I do want to keep this blog going, and believe I will once things settle down a bit. Many thanks to those of you who still stop in every now and then to see how it's going or to say hello. God bless you, and God willing I'll be back.

Now that we know who Bloody Face is on American Horror Story: Asylum (Zachary Quinto, say it ain't so!), it's time we now turn our attention to his latest victim: Lana Winters.
We hopped on the phone with Sarah Paulson, the woman who has fallen into the hands of the serial killer, to pick her brain about Bloody Face's identity, Lana's bad luck and what's coming up for our reporter in captivity.
Lana cannot catch a break! Can you talk a bit about how you reacted when you found out the identity of Bloody Face and your role in it?
Sarah Paulson: Oh, and it gets worse, trust me. It was revealed to me who Bloody Face was back in July. But I didn't know and it was never told to me that I was going to be the person that Bloody Face was f--king with, for lack of a better term [Laughs]. I was sort of shocked and also excited because I thought it meant that I was going to have some good American Horror Story-style drama to do. But I was also a little scared because I thought, Oh god, what does that mean? How are they doing to do it? What's going to happen? Will I ever come back to Briarcliff? There's a great mystery there. And I was also very excited to work with my pal, because we are such good friends.
It kind of broke our hearts, because not only have we've all been rooting for Lana to escape, but we so wanted to Zachary Quinto to be a hero.
Yeah, not gonna happen, sister!
But then we got over it, because once he turned into his Bloody Face character, he was so creepy and so good. What are fans going to get from those two in the next episode?
Well, get ready. The stuff that he does in episode six is so freakin' amazing. In the next episode, it's going to be clear why Lana was chosen. And that maybe it wasn't a random act. You'll be able to look back at all the episodes, once episode six happens, and you'll see how brilliantly they weaved things in for his character and you'll go, 'Oh, that's why he did that!' It'll be very exciting to piece all those clues together that were there. And [Quinto] played it so brilliantly. There was always something slightly [off] but then you went, 'No, but he's so gentle and good and he wants what's right ultimately.' And it's like, no, he doesn't. He wants to cut you up into a million bits and pieces.
You are intertwined in a lot of storylines, almost as if we are visiting the asylum through Lana's eyes. Are there any other mysteries on the show that you are excited to see play out besides your own?
Yes. Yes, very much so. [Laughs]. I can't tell you anything more! Just be patient. It's all going to come out. That's the good news about this show. You won't walk away going, 'Now wait, what happened?' It's all going to be revealed. Be patient.
You've had to really push the boundaries this season. Is there a scene coming up that you think will shock viewers even more?
Yes! Oh my god. So far I think the line of the season has been: "Show me your mossy bank," right? OK, there's a line coming in episode six between me and Bloody Face, and you'll know what it is, I predict that it will be the new line of the season. It will top "mossy bank." I know it will.
One of the most disturbing scenes we've ever seen on TV was last week's conversion therapy session with Lana and Dr. Thredson. Can you talk a bit about what it was like filming that scene?
I remember reading it for the first time and thinking: Oh my god, I'm going to have to put my hands in my pants. This is going to be really hard. But I thought the scene was so well written. And I knew I was going to be doing the scene with Zach, and he's my friend, and we just kind of looked at each other and silently said with our eyes: 'Let's do it. Let's do this sucker.' And we were both excited because we knew it had the potential to be very powerful, and so we both just really went for it. And I do think part of why it works is that Zach and I are good friends because there was an incredible amount of mutual trust and respect between us that I felt incredibly safe with him. So there was something very horrible about it and something very wonderful about it.
Without giving too much away, how would you like Lana's story to end?
I would like to see Lana see the sun. That's all. I'd like for her to be able to be in the sunshine somewhere alive. I'd like for Lana to be alive and not be trapped in a dark, soulless place. I mean it literally. I'd like her to feel the sun on her face, because that signifies hope and I think things are looking very bleak for her right now. I feel more protective feelings about this character than any other character I've ever played, and I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I've never played someone who was in such dire and extreme circumstances. But I really feel protective toward her and I want her to survive this thing. I just don't know that she will.

With New Year's Day fast approaching, a lot of us are considering resolutions to make our lives better. Ads for weight loss and smoking cessation are filling the airwaves. It's time to have a New Year's resolution in place.
If you have been someone who recently created a LinkedIn profile, let me add another form of New Year's resolution. I find, as someone who has worked with a lot of newcomers to this social media portal, that a lot of people forget their LinkedIn profile takes an evolutionary process. Most people believe that when you build a profile that it's like building a house. It took some effort and work to build it, but then they forget to maintain their social media property.
With this in mind, here are five simple New Year's resolutions to enhance your LinkedIn profile:
Resolution number one: Make a habit of reaching out to other contacts by checking into LinkedIn at least once a day for five minutes. The social media portal shares promotions and birthdays. It also allows contacts to share content or stories that they value. As part of your LinkedIn resolution, you should take the time to comment on these updates.
Resolution number two: Take 20 to 30 minutes to research your contacts at least weekly. During this time, take the time to pick up the phone or send an email to one or two of them, especially if you have not had any significant contact with them for at least a month or so.
Resolution number three: If you have not completed your experience section, especially for your first or second jobs, it's a good idea to complete your profile to add information about them. I tell a lot of college students, looking for their first serious job that even experience from working at Subway or McDonald's should be added to a profile. I tell them employers of new college graduates will tell you that having information on these early jobs makes a positive impression. The same is true for older business professionals. They held jobs early in their career that made them an expert in their chosen profession. Having this information only enhances a person's reputation, especially when a new contact is made.
Resolution number four: Does your picture really look like you? I know a lot of people who have outdated photos that are at least five if not 10 years old, not to mention ones taken at their office Christmas party. If this resolution describes your picture, consider a face lift to your profile by adding a new profile picture.
Resolution number five: If you meet a potential business lead or contact for the first time, do you ask to connect with them by asking to become contacts on LinkedIn? I'm surprised by the number of people who overlook this simple way to buid their list of contacts.

Licensed Therapist Since 2002I have been a Licensed Massage and Relaxation Therapist for 10 years and enjoy being able to help others reduce the stress and tension of everyday life.
I am certified in the following:
Deep Tissue
Aroma therapy
Sports Massage
Hot stone
Medical Massage
Pregnancy Massage
Sports ( mostly for school age athletes)
1 hour sensual full-body Massage
90 minutes full-body Massage
90 minutes Super Stress Buster
2 hours Couples Massage

I do all sessions from home, and truly enjoy just chatting with each person and finding out what is going on in their life. Seems many people just need someone to talk to, and I am glad to listen. I even have a shower available if so needed. I do couples massage on occasion, either at home or their location.
Don't forget, a fantastic ****** helps too ;)
Would love to trade massage with you.
I'm in Orlando, FL--are you near?
How I wish I was in your area... What IS your area???
how often do you get asked for a happy ending? and is there an 'official' way of asking without offending a professional licensed therapist like yourself?
I so NEED a sensual massage... I wish I knew someone in the Seattle area who does that. Not really interested in an Asian parlour type experience....
Wow! That's very well put together! What's is Swedish massage all about???
I love massages .where are you? Im in florida
I especially like the part where U say that U are available to just listen . Sometimes besides a massage it is nice to have someone to just talk to .
Hi Amber, please add us, we would like to ask you a question... Michelle & Joe
Are you available now? :)
Question: What do you recommend that I do to find a competent massage therapist?

Thank you.
if u from melbourne australia i would book u no worrys as u sound very good soft hands etc cheers darls
I have never had A professional massage by an licenced therapist nor A deasent massage by anyone who attempted. I bet one by you would feel great.
I love massages, and the lady that did mine was super great and prefered me to be nude under the sheet or towel which was perfectly fine but when I moved to another location and had a massage done, the lady requested I leave my shorts on. So my question is, how do you prefer your clients? I liked nude better because of less restriction and the massage just felt better. (Please dont misunderstand...No sexual issues here)
is the shower for after a happy ending?
Well, I had my annual deep tissue massage. It was painful. I felt great for about two hours afterwards, but was very sore for about 24 hours afterwards.
Hello SH, so what might be the best way for a client to ask his massuese for a release at the end of his massage? And better yet, how you you think it best to let them know that draping is not required or preferred, i hate all the time that they spend in adjusting the sheet and ensuring you are kept modest.LOL
I go to one massage therapist that practices tantric massages. For the guys she performs the Lingham and for the women it's the Yoni. I have never let myself experience the Lingham, but she does ask me at the end of every session.

I am curious, does it concern you that you maybe giving happy endings to married men and women? I'm not being judgmental at all, just asking. This particular therapist says that the clients that she performs the Lingham on are mostly married men that are not getting much at home. So, I'm just curious what you experience.
i seriously love to get massages...but what i really like is to give them... im not a professional but i do try hard
How do I find someone with your work ethic in my area?
i'm addict to be nude at home and that makes my Di**k hard everytime i was searching for therapist to have some talk about that can u help me !!
I love getting massaged in full nude. I like giving massages also though not a professional but but can really relax a woman. after reading your post would love to give and take massage from you.
We love a couples sensual massage with a hot therapist like yourself !!
My wife is also a licensed LMT (since 09). She loves being able to help people and gets enjoyment from her work.

What city/state are you in?
Deep tissue, theraputic, prenatal, swedish. I'm sure I left out a few.
A happy ending massage with you as the therapist? I'm afraid I wouldn't get my money's worth as I would most likely finish way before you!
So true, who am I to argue about being brought to climax by a beautiful, vivacious, stunningly gorgeous woman such as yourself? I have an erection just thinking about it!
I have had a few massages and enjoyed them....I really should treat myself to them more often. I have never had a 'happy ending' though, not sure how the wife would feel about that. Hmm, I'll have to ask her about that.
Wow, wish you were closer. I have had a back injury wich has had a enormus effect on my life. I would love to meet a therapist of your calibre that could help me regain sexual movement and pleasure. I am a nudist and would love sensual nude therapy. Very nice to read of someone of your skills.
I assume that you get massages. If it isn't too personal, how do you prefer to be massaged?
That sounds quite pleasant, and I hope all of your massages are quite pleasant.
While in Japan many years ago a girlfriend took me to a Japanese bath and massage house, it was quite an experience. After showering and then sitting in a shallow pool of hot water for 15/20 minutes, with others, men and women, all naked, you're given a robe and taken to the massage room, I was told to lie face down and was covered with a towel, a few minutes later a woman maybe 50 that looked like a sumo wrestler gave me the massage, it took about 45 minutes, she removed the towel started at my neck and went to my toes, she motioned for me to turn over and started with my face, as she went down my body she oiled my penis and balls but continued to my toes then returned to massage my balls untill I was hard then took me to the happy ending, cleaned me up, covered me with a hot towel and dissapeared. A assistant took me back to the shower area where I showered again and left. The girlfriend was waiting for me in the reception area, we then went to dinner with her family.

Her dad told me happy ending massages were quite normal in Japan for both men and women, no sex went on there. I went back several times.
Thank you. That was not terminology with which I was familiar. I usually only have a massage while on vacation, which means that I never get the same therapist twice to build a common understanding. I usually ask for a deep tissue massage which I have found, depending upon the therapist, ranges from something that leaves the muscles feeling much better to something that left me very sore for about 24 hours.
what kind of massage you enjoy most !
what makes it existing for you -
Very nice - a full body sensual with the client nude must be wonderful
What is sports massage?

"A very welcome treat...everything the McCalmans did best.....Ian McCalman has done a great job in tracking down gems from all eras....undoubtedly welcomed by The McCalmans' very many fans."
"Nick Keir's magical "Cold Night In This Old Town", which is a corker..... the hilarious "Bonnyrig Banker", "So The Years Roll On"...... the perfect way to bow out. This album is dedicated to the absent members who have passed – Derek Moffat and Nick Keir. They would have been bursting with pride." Grem Devlin
Over 500 cassettes, reel-to-reels,"live" recordings, minidiscs, radio/TV shows, LPs, digital tapes, CDs and DVDs were meticulously listened to, and the songs chosen as the best of the McCalmans at the time of recording. There are tracks from every decade and every line-up of the Macs. It is on sale for £12.00, from this website (£14.00 Europe and rest of world).
Here's the track list:

MINI BIOG of The McCalmans:
Scottish folk singers, song writers, talkers, travellers, friends. Formed 1964 whilst architecture students. Pubs/clubs. First album 1967. Multiple TV series. Concerts. Tours in UK, Denmark, rest of Europe, world. "Best live act" award, "Hall of Fame", 27 albums, recorded 400 songs, retired 2010. Only ever three in the Macs' line-up. Total of five musicians in 46 years.
"The McCalmans" retired in 2010 but the memory lingers on. Derek Moffat and Nick Keir, huge influences in the band, tragically passed away and are sorely missed. Stephen is still very successful with his concerts and tours, often singing with his wife Pernille. Ian writes songs and stage productions ("Ypres") and records/produces in his studio. Hamish makes concertinas in Orkney and still plays beautifully.
See above re "McCalmans, LOST TRACKS". Exciting stuff.
Final mix of another great album from Stephen and Pernille.
The release of an album celebrating the many Greentrax projects, many of them involving "The Macs".
Ian completes a fund-raising run in Canada. Take it easy old man. Pernille completes a half marathon in a seriously good time. Bloody youngsters!
Week-long reunion with old friend, Iain Rankin (superb Canadian singer/songwriter) and his brilliant wife, Viive, in Toronto and Lake Huron, singing songs, drnking and laughing far too much (don't mention the bears). Iain Rankin wrote the sleeve notes for the band's first album in 1967, "All in One Mind". OOOOOLD FRIEND
Fund-raising for "Sports Relief" raised £3,900.00 via Ian's "Pensioners over the hill" initiative. Here's the link to Midlothian Advertiser's article: midlothian-walkers-on-top-of-the-world. Featured on "Sport Relief, the final count" as one of the top four projects of the year. Ian will try to find the hilarious interview (BBC) for YouTube.
Discussion with the Scottish Government, WW100 for concerts of "Far, Far From Ypres" throughout Scotland. Scripts of "Ypres" are free and will be sent to those requesting them via email. Contact this site if you would like a script.
Many of the Bordeaux (Martignas) organisers of our "Ypres" concert in France, came over for the Scotland v France rugby match. An almighty party "happened" at Ian and Ellen's house with an amazing 4 hour singing session, which was declared a draw by impartial onlookers. Scotland won the rugby though!
**Pernille & Stephen Quigg "River of Time" New Release 2015
"I've nothing to gain by saying this, because the Macs are a thing of the past, but this album by Stephen and Pernille is a real cracker. There's a lovely combination of old and new and the balance of the two voices is magic. I thoroughly recommend It." Ian McCalman
"The McCalmans Collection" link
Nick's music was of great importance to him and us, so we'll keep up the news of his fine new album.

Neil Gaiman signing in Easons
Attached photo is of me getting some of my stuff signed by the great Neil Gaiman (creator of Sandman, Neverwhere, Stardust). I was at his book signing the day before Hallowen, along with two nice folk from Boards.ie (Brendan and Nichola). Gaiman arrived around seven, read an excerpt from his newly-released The Graveyard Book, had a humourous Q&A, and eventually signed people's swag (he was very generous about how many items you could have him sign; I got my copy of The Graveyard Book, Neverwhere, a poster and my Merv Pumpkinhead bust-up signed).
My minute-or-so with Neil seems almost like it never happened. I don't even fucking remember saying much to him! He's a great chap nonetheless, and I'll never forget his amazing voice either...
There's two other photos I have of me with him, and several others taken by Brendan, but I'm not sure if he'd like me linking to his Flickr account, so you'll have to do with that one.
In other news, I got my first tablet on Monday; an Aiptek 600U Premium Slim, and its pretty nifty. I'll post up some art I drew with it soon, but for now, just a quick sketch I drew with it;

Don't waste your time chasing a relationship going no where.
Let me see if you can relate to this. You meet someone you are very much attracted to. You try and get their attention. You may have even succeeded in going out with them (you did the asking) and yet, there is no reciprocal action. He or she is happy to accept your invitations. However, they are not calling you. It is not reciprocal.
Not every one single person is motivated to marry. Just this week, I met a very handsome, polished professional 43-year-old man who is divorced with a college-aged child (who is out of the house). Finding love is the last thing on his to do list. What he is focused on is his career. He wants to be in a much better financial situation before thinking about getting serious with anyone.
I have heard this story over and over again from attractive, seemingly eligible single people who are really not on the market. If you are truly motivated to marry, you would be barking up the proverbial wrong tree. This is why it is important to look for people who are marriage minded.
These people are also putting a priority on finding love and want a life with that special person sooner than later. I do meet many perennially single people through my networking.
One of my coaching clients Kathy is a very attractive woman in her late 40s who had never been married. She met this very handsome man with his own business, divorced with children who live in a different city. What I found out was that she was making most of the effort and traveled to him to see him most times. This was going on for more than two years!
