The truth is, to even enter the automotive manufacturing trade in almost unimaginable, with extraordinarily excessive obstacles to entry" being a defining characteristic of an oligopoly. Vehicles are costly to manufacture, with very excessive costs related to manufacturing facilities, suppliers, logistics, and labor. The result's that world automotive industry experiences extra mergers than new entrants. Nevertheless, over the previous few many years the development has been for automakers to open manufacturing amenities in overseas markets. For example, Toyota and Honda have giant manufacturing amenities within the United States. Toyota Motor Gross sales USA, Inc. at the moment holds the fourth largest share of worldwide automotive sales with 15.3%, a rise of 2.8% from 2010.

Dolly calls me and asks me whether I'm still coming.
Famously inefficient with means of communication, I calm her worries that I'll be a no-show, but of course, in order to prevent that from happening, I first ask her where we're headed.
A whisky tasting in Soho!
My oh my: how deeply thirty and fabulous. How very distant those nights at the student union (I managed two) at the start of last year seem.
It's 6:25.
Dolly tells me the event starts at 7 o'clock. I have precisely 5 minutes to ready myself for a quiet Monday evening in a whiskycentric member's club, I decide an ultra-sexy 1980's backup dancer-inspired look is of course the most appropriate: fishnet vest with high-waisted mom jeans (hugging on the booty), knee-high cowboy boots and a mega shoulder-padded jacket with gold and bronze detailing, complete with matching eyeshadow, headscarf and panther earring.
I hop on the 29 bus to Trafalgar Square, the lid of my Claire's Accessories eyeshadow palette swinging as the bus trundles along the Euston Road.
My stop is Cambridge Circus, and I power-walk down Old Compton Street. Being without the geographical luxury of having ever been to this bar before, I dip in and out of shops, asking the whereabouts of the Soho Whisky Club. None have any idea, so by means of procrastination, I enter a newsagents in search of a revolting yet hunger-quashing sandwich. An sad-looking tikka takes my fancy, and I try my luck and ask the shopkeeper whether he knows where I need to go.
"Next door!"
I thank him and leave the shop, already devouring my cut-price sarnie.
A open the door onto a lonely looking spirits shop.
"Whisky tasting?"
He juts his head to the left and turns away from me. I of course thank him graciously and take the clomp clomp wooden stairs up.
I am in a warm, old worldy room, of course stocked to the brim with all nationalities of peaty goodness.
I spot my dashing Dolly, sitting with her flat mate and boyfriend.
"And I'm only five minutes late!" I holler triumphantly.
I slip onto the table and Dolly tells me how I'm incredibly difficult to get hold of.
I give her a knowing nod and tell her it's because I'm without a phone (which is a situation I have been in for the majority of my phone-wielding life.")
"What's that then?!" pointing to my deceptively phoney iPod.
"Oh. This isn't a phone. It's just full of pictures of myself."
"Oh, Gavin. You really couldn't make you up."
It is the day after David Bowie's death, and there's a news report on the BBC. One of his songs comes on in the bar, smiling in the knowledge that I'll have a story to tell when people ask me in the future where I was when it happened.
We chat about the pros and cons of Disney films, I having just finished watching Cinderella that morning. I, like many others before, thought it thoroughly unrealistic that Cinderella could leave an abusive household and then marry the prince, whom we knew so little about. I was adamant that showing some of the affects of internalised abuse would have been very powerful for viewers, as we've all been Cinderella at one point in our lives. Smiling, fully self aware that I'm pontificating and seeming like a psuedointellectual, I let Dolly interrupt me and say "But it's Disney!"
I laugh, and we are left alone as the other two go for a smoke.
We then have a rather intense but wonderful conversation: Dolly tells me that when she first met me, she admired my authenticity and intelligence, and despite, in my own words, being a bird of paradise, she can tell it is but one part of my identity and there's a real critical thinker behind the sparkles and eyeshadow.
"Well, thank you, Dolly. That's basically what you live for!"
We already know we're kindred spirits and understand each other, the Mersey flowing within our souls already breaking the ice. So the conversation leads to a rapid transfer of experiences and backgrounds, the reason for its speed of explanation being "I wish I could tell you this telepathically, which would be much more efficient, but we just have to make do with the rather second-rate human method of conversation!"
The others return, and we fall into conversation with another group.
I see Dolly drift over, speaking beautiful French with a gentleman. I kind of half assume that I already knew Dolly spoke French, joining the two, the seldom-spoken language falling from my mouth as easily as when I was in my tri-couleur obsession.
Dolly turns me and says I'm just full of surprises!
Our new friends treat us to some whisky, a new vice of mine since I tried some of my boyfriend's DELICIOUS Japanese whisky (who likes the peaty stuff?) and I feel every bit the post-war gentleman.
The evening passes, smiles, hugs, laughter and new acquaintances all in abundance.
Dolly's housemate takes her leave, an early start at work awaiting her the following morning, and we do the same shortly afterwards.
I stop some confused-looking French tourists for that obligatory awkward but sweet end-of-the-night photo
We take a walk through nighttime Soho, thoroughly greatful for each other's company and to be in such an effing awesome city.
We make our way towards Tottenham Court Road Station, Dolly telling us about a transgender woman who was at her flat the other evening: totally divine and glamorous in a way she'd never seen a woman.
We discuss 'The Danish Girl', which I believe to not be the most realistic of films, but we both agree that it's amazing that topic is being covered in a mainstream film.
We arrive at the tube station: down the escalators we go, they going to Tottenham, me Kentish Town.
They get off at Euston, and I bid them adieu, 18th century count style, and we vow to double date in the very near future.
I wave goodbye to my sister from another mister, the whisky from before warming my already toasty heart.

My Opinion:
Back in 2011 I've first tried Sasatinnie's paper mask, and remember liking it, but it's been awhile since I've used them, and with the climate being really dry, I've picked up another box to pamper myself.
Since 2011, I've tried several different paper masks, and I think that Sasatinnie's paper masks doesn't meet my expectations anymore, although I've really liked the idea of these tiny hooks to lift up my chin, I think that Sexy Look paper masks are alot more hydrating than Sasatinnie. I've left these on for about 20 minutes and the mask has almost dry out, definetly not hydrating enought. I've still have another box of backup, but I think that when I'm done with it, won't be repurchasing

13 July 2015 (London and Hereford) – Boultbee Brooks Real Estate (BBRE), the UK-based residential and commercial property investor and developer, has further strengthened its presence in Manchester City Centre's growing commercial property through the acquisition of a three-property portfolio from M20 Property Group for a total consideration of £16M.
The three properties, which have a combined total floor space of over 90,000 sq ft, are situated in prime locations. The portfolio includes two properties located on Moseley Street, near the soon to be regenerated St Peter's Square, and one property in the desirable Deansgate business district. The properties included in the portfolio are:
• 67-75 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3LQ
• 79 Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3LQ
• The Chapel, Deansgate, M3 4LY
BBRE will undertake a comprehensive refurbishment of the two properties on Mosley Street and transform them into new work space, for which there is high demand. The area will soon benefit from extensive regeneration and will become one of Manchester's key locations, attracting an extra 4,500 professionals upon completion of No.1 and No.2 St Peter's Square.
The Chapel, located in Castlefield's Urban Heritage Park and less than 100 metres away from Deansgate Railway Station and Metrolink, is a Grade II listed building providing 12,132 sq ft of space over lower ground, ground, first and second floors. The property was originally opened as a Congregational chapel in 1858 and was designed by the local architect, Edward Walters. In more recent years it has undergone significant refurbishment and now provides contemporary, high specification workspace in one of Manchester's most desired locations.
This acquisition is the latest in a string of recent purchases in Manchester by BBRE and takes the firm's total investment in Manchester this year to £28M, a sign of the firm's growing confidence in the strength of the Manchester market and further evidence of its strategy to invest in high-quality properties in prime locations, which offer attractive financial returns. BBRE, which is a major landlord in the Shoreditch and Clerkenwell areas of London where many of its tenants are fast growing digital and creative firms, also recently purchased 30 Brown Street and Croxley House in Manchester, for £5.5M and £6.5M respectively.
James Whitcher, BBRE said: "We are delighted to have acquired some of the most exciting refurbishment opportunities available in Manchester and the portfolio fits perfectly with 30 Brown Street and Croxley House. We now have a critical mass of assets in the city to replicate our London model and become one of the city's most successful providers of quality workspace. Manchester will be the engine room of the Chancellor's Northern Powerhouse, and we are confident that we will benefit from the unrelenting demand and rising rents for prime commercial property in Manchester that we continue to see."
BBRE was advised by Rob Cannock at Aurum Real Estate. Legal advice was provided by Darren Hamer of DWF who advised M20 and BBRE were represented by Michelmores.

best ways to design your website

Best ways to design Your website
Your website is the foremost attraction that more customers will have of your firm. Use below best ways to set up yourself stand apart from the competition
A well developed website can be an awsom selling weapon for medium businesses. but, even with customer changing mindset to online media, many business owners don't understand the relevence of a user-friendly website. The small scale companies are again continuing with the inactive ways for getting business, yes but majority has changed.
It is critical for small companies to withstand the migration in customer mind and updates on the technology.
There are so many factors to understand when designing a website, and here we are listing some of the best methods for good web design.
Let it be responsive & mobile friendly
Now a days mobile phones have changed the way customers deals with businesses. apart from searching through local directories, the search results are right on their smart phones. Your website should be designed for smartphone devices. major part of the enquiry is coming through hand held devices and it will contine increasing the same habbit in the future. This is a big part and important one to consider now, as search engines ranks responsive websites higher than websites that are not mobile friendly.
The idea is to go with mobile friendly design, which indicates the site finds the user's mobile device width (It can be a mobile phone,desktop,tablet or ipad) and adjusts the design and structure accordingly.
understand and analyse about the customer experience
When users start visiting your website, it should convey the concept and message quickly and clearly.
To achieve that, your website design should have instant and accurate call-to-actions; an attractive welcome page that also keep as a one-stop destination, so the customer gets whatever he or she wants to search for within a stipulated time frame, and no disappointments. All you pages should be connected to all other page to make it clear that users dont end up in a 404 page or he is not losing anything.
Design your website search engine optimization in mind
Search engines are a major source of user flow, so companies will needs their website to get a high page visibility. One of the major requirement of SEO is to make sure your website is describing clearly about your products or services. Keep using your keywords again such a way that the user search for.
Your website has to be loaded much faster so that it increases the users experiance as a result the ranking also increased. All the images used in the besite should be optimized first and it should not be larger in size. Once your website start loading slowly users will leave your aite and look for other links. Apparently you lose your customers

The girls and us - a familyWe've suddenly - over the past week or so - got to a new stage with the girls. They've recently discovered how to play together. Not just playing for short periods of time, but extended, really complicated, involved play. They'll spend over an hour together doing role-play, drawing, colouring, having tea-parties: the whole deal. It means we can do other things such as gardening or tidying, or even have the odd minute together. And it also means that we can have more family-based times together.
It doesn't work all the time, but Moo and I have been turning to each other and commenting on what a fantastic weekend we've had. I think it's to do with concentration and empathy: once both Jo and Miri have reached a particular level of each, they can participate in each other's worlds for extended periods of time. They're now really sisters, and we're a new type of family.
On a different tack, I preached at St Peter's Bocking at evensong, for James, who's currently associate priest there. I preached (again) on Isaiah 35, but this time on how it relates to Pentecost. I talked about our responsibility to work towards the parousia, when the Kingdom of God will be realised, and how maybe, when we don't feel that any of the obvious charisms (though I didn't use the word) such as prophesy, speaking in tongues, preaching, teaching, etc. have fallen to us, we can still "strengthen the weak hands, confirm the feeble knees, say to them that are of a fearful heart: be strong, fear not, behold your God will come".

A beautiful day, in lots of waysDidn't feel too good to start with, but doing some ironing, and then some serious gardening, helped. In the sun, pulling up nettles and brambles - some time indoors, watching the Cup Final - outside again, doing the nettle and bramble thing - indoors - you get the idea. We barbecued for lunch, then we put the paddling pool out in the garden: all the things that you're supposed to do with kids, but you have to wait a while for them to be old enough to do.
Then the kids went to bed. Early. And we sat outside in the garden, reading the papers, drinking wine, eating crisps and cold, barbecued sausages, chatting and hardly being able to hear ourselves think because of the sound of birdsong. Moo's not annoyed or grumpy in this picture: she's just concentrating on the paper.
We went inside when it got too cold, after a fantastic day. And it's only May.

More ordination practice(backposting) This time, everyone made it. Oh, and I had a meeting with some people about a burial of ashes: one of those occasions where things are difficult, and you feel that you're ministering just by being there, and listening.
The girls got back this evening, and went straight to bed, which was good.

Ordination practice(backposting) I drove home today - Moo and the girls are staying with Kate and Mac for a while - and attended an afternoon-long RIM/Certicom integration webinar and teleconference.
In the evening, I had a meeting with the bishop and his assistant/chaplain, John (my incumbent) and a number of our local team (servers, churchwardens, sacristan) to make some decisions about exactly how the ordination service will go, and have walk-through. Of course, there will two other people who will also be ordained on that day, and everyone was expecting them to be there, too. Except for them, as nobody seemed to have told them... Oh well, we had a very useful session: it's all feeling a bit close now.

More time with family(backposting) The girls have had a good time, and we had one, too - I've kept my phone with me, of course, as I don't have the day off.
We went to a Animal Centre and Donkey Sanctuary (though their website isn't the most, erm, eye-friendly), and I particularly enjoyed the pig, which was fat and snored. Unlike me, of course...

Bank Holiday(backposting) Staying with Kate and Mac, and seeing Nana, too. Nana's recently turned 94, and is getting old, so it's important for Moo and the girls to spend time with her. She enjoys being with the girls and watching the world go by.

Preaching against the BNP(backposting) I take the responsibility of the pulpit very seriously, and I generally don't like preaching against something, but decided that I couldn't avoid it today. The BNP (British National Party, and I'm not going to do them the service of linking to them) have been suggesting that church leaders should keep out of politics. Not only is this rubbish (as the Archbishop of York puts it: "which Bible are they reading?"), but there's a real danger that British voters, unhappy and disillusioned with the mainstream political parties after the scandals around expenses for MPs, will vote for the BNP in enough numbers that they'll have some representation and declare that they have a mandate.
So, I preached against their message of hate and fear, and talked about our duty, as Christians, to work for the coming of God's Kingdom, and the message of Isaiah 35: "Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you."
In the afternoon we had lots of fun at a fund-raiser for Jo's pre-school (lovely weather), and then we drove up to Kate and Mac's near Loughborough (in two cars, as I need to be coming back earlier than Moo and the girls.

Gout, or party, or party (2)?Woke this morning with the traces of a gout attack. Drank lots of water, took some paracetamol, had a hot bath, rubbed some ibuprofen gel on. Moo took Jo and Miri off to a children's party (party 1) and I had a sleep. And by the time I woke up, it was pretty much gone.
The children's party was good, and by the time we were finished, it was pretty much time for a barbecue a couple of houses down, with Jo, Jason and their kids. And lots and lots of other people. A few of the people invited were French, and after a couple of glasses of wine, I was well into it again. Lots of French and I never thought I'd be going through the finer points of Anglican theology (versus Roman Catholic theology) in French, but who knows anything really?

A good day, a bad daySo, Plan C is out. If I become unemployed in the next few months, I don't have anything definite lined up. This is a bad day thing. And then I started to wonder whether or not to keep my new Samsung i8910 HD. I really need VoIP, and there's not SIP stack on the phone. There are some other things that I'm not particularly happy about, too, including lack of decent GPS apps and the difficulty of uploading photos to flickr, and I wondered about sending the thing back and getting a Nokia 5800 instead. In the end, I discovered that the Nokia doesn't have a SIP stack, either, but managed to get Fring working with AQL (my SIP provider), and all's looking rosier. Took some doing, but I've found some OK GPS apps, too which I'm trialling.
And I had some possible job leads, in case things go a bit Pete Tong on the employment front, which they may, so that helped too. I finished up the day with an hour's hard walk, listening to Finzi, Duruflé and Poulenc. Now sitting in front of the TV, trying to work out how to disable the Orange Photo app on my phone.

Ascension Day! (and a new phone... (and a new washing machine))(backposting) So, the new phone arrived today around 1500. I'd been on tenter-hooks all day. The new washing machine arrived around 1100, and has been busy going through all the washing we've not been able to put through for the past week or so. Mel's been a star and has helped out with a load or two, which has allowed us to have some pants, etc..
I've taken some time getting my head round the phone, and the camera's very good, wifi works fine, and so far, so good.
After the kids had gone to bed, I went to our sung Eucharist for Ascension Day. John, my incumbent, hadn't expected I'd make it, so it was a good surprise. We had a pint after the service and went through the draft order of service for my (and Iain and Mark's) ordination to the priesthood, which is only a little more than a month away. John preached helpfully - in that I have more ideas now about what to preach about on Pentecost.

A poor show(backposting) Not the curate's meeting - although only 4 of the 6 of us were there, the others had good reasons - but the Mobile & Wireless Show in Olympia 2. It was pretty poor, and I left after a short time. Noone interesting there, nothing interesting to see.
The good news, however is that my new phone should arrive tomorrow! It's the lovely Samsung i8910 HD. It has an 8 mega-pixel camera will record HD video. This would be more useful if we even had an HD television.

Theology, prayer and wider lifeI'm finding it quite hard to be reflective and theological in the midst of trying to work out where my professional life is going at the moment. There's still a possibility of a job via Certicom, at RIM, but I'm having to work out what other opportunities will present themselves, particularly as a job I was hoping might come together in the next couple of months has disappeared - for now, at least. So, I'm reading around moving into contracting, which is one option, and following up other leads, too. Time to get back in touch with those friends I've not spoken to a while, and do some good old networking.
Having said the above about theology, I've come up with a plan for what to preach about when I'm over in Bocking for Pentecost, as guest preacher(!). "Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees" - Isaiah 35.
And, to crown it all, we had to take Miri to Colchester Hospital A & E because her elbow ligament popped out again. My fault this time. "Strengthen ye the weak elbows" is more like it...

BaptismI really do like baptising people. Children only, so far, though I hope we get the chance to baptise an adult soon. I hadn't expected to be around at home this weekend, but when I discovered that we would be, I offered to take the baptism, as I'd done the preparation for the parents a couple of weeks ago. It was also my first chance to take a baptism within a service, which was also good.
What else? Had a fun early morning with the girls - both of whom slept all night in their own beds! Moo got some more sleep, and then we had a sleepy cuddle while the girls ran riot, sat on our heads, all that sort of thing. Unluckily, Jo spent too much of the rest of the day just failing to listen, which made for some interesting parts to the day, but all-in-all, we've had a pretty good weekend.
Next week, I have to decide whether to go "contract" or not, rather than permanent. An important decision: I'm awaiting some information from one particular source - and this all assumes, of course, that the redundancy proceedings go as expected.

Mediaevalism - or not(backposting) After all taking Jo to her ballet (and meeting another parent who had some possible job leads - that's networking for you), we had an early lunch and then headed off to Ickworth House, where they were having a Mediaeval Spectacular (though they decided to spell that "Medieval", shockingly). There was lots for the kids, and for the adults, too (I ended up going up through a variety of longbow weights - managed to draw a 150 pound bow about 26 inches, which apparently isn't bad for a beginner), with people being all sorts of authentic. Authentic food, authentic clothing, authentic tools, even authentic spectacles (and although the glass quality seemed better than expected, I was quite impressed with that). What I always feel, however, is that people just aren't authentic enough about the language. There's some cod mediaeval grammar, but no attempt at pre-Great Vowel Shift or Pre-Modal Shift speaking. Most, most disappointing. And not at all authentic (no matter that _almost_ none of the attendees would understand a word of it).
Back home, playing in the garden, including learning to play "sardines", and then the kids to bed. We barbecued some steak and had a very healthy vegetable/noodle mix, which was very tasty, and watched the Eurovision Song Contest (which I twittered extensively, gaining a number of followers in the process - hope I don't disappoint them with my day-to-day tweets).
Friday, May 15, 2009
Job hunting(backposting) Not an overly positive day. I went to bed alone in the spare room last night as Miri wouldn't go back to her own bed, and was very lonely: really wanted to cuddle up with Moo after the day I'd had yesterday.
I spent a fair amount of time looking for new opportunities and jobs, of which few were forthcoming. Obviously, although the threat of redundancy is yet to be confirmed, the very fact that we're in the process means that I need to be seeing what else might be available, and today didn't furnish much help in that direction.

FuneralI attended - but didn't take - a funeral today. A mother and wife, 43, kids 5 and 7. It was a very moving service, with a packed church: it was standing room only with 20 minutes to go before the start. The father's a friend, which is why attended. The priest took a very good service indeed, with a good mix of solemnity, respect and humour.
And I spent much of the rest of the afternoon what I'd do if Catherine didn't come up the drive, and it was a police officer at the front door, instead.

Incarnational redundancyI've got lots of things I want to blog about at the moment from a theological point of view, from more issues around authority to further thoughts on the ontological issues around self-supporting ministry. But I've got to pick one, and the issue that's consuming a fair amount of my time at the moment is redundancy. As I've blogged before, my company has just started redundancy proceedings around my job. I'm not interested in going over the whys and wherefores, nor am I looking for sympathy (though prayers are always welcome). What I'd like to start investigating are some of the theological issues around redundancy, and particularly how it affects me and other self-supporting ministers.
When I announced the fact that I was going through redundancy proceedings on Facebook, a mate of mine (also a self-supporting minister) said:
- Redundancy is, oddly, part of the incarnational aspect of being Self-Supporting. It's one of those aspects of life which we SSMs share with our punters/parishioners/victims/congregations. Going Stipendiary in such circumstances would be like giving up.
He expressed very well a feeling that I'd not have been able to articulate as well at this. I know from conversations with members of my congregation that people appreciate the fact that I can speak "from the pew" as it were. I think that because I have a job and share similar issues (or more obviously similar issues) with them, there's a feeling (which I'm sure isn't always justified) that there are things I can say that match more closely with the experiences of "the people in the pews".
However unjustified those feelings are, they are true in one particular, incarnational way, as my friend identified. I run the risk of losing my job, as few parochial clergy in the Church of England do. Standing by that means standing by them, too. I feel no more called away from full-time (secular) employment than I did when I made the decision to go with self-supporting ministry. Maybe I will some day, but that day isn't yet, and it wouldn't be honest to my vocation which is expressed both within my ordained ministry and in my secular life to decide suddenly to take up full-time ministry now.

A Quantum of RedundancyUp at 0500 - why is that? Well, just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got to say Morning Prayer in silence, on my own for a change. Which was nice.
The other two things of note for today are:
- my company started redundancy proceedings around my job today. That's how it works: they don't make you redundant, they make your role redundant. Anyway, it'll take a while, and it's not much fun, but that's the way it goes.
- Moo and I watched Quantum of Solace tonight. The girls were both asleep by 0630, so we decided to get out a film on DVD: something we've not done for ages. We'd not seen the latest Bond film, so thought we might as well do so. It's not the most, erm, plot-driven film, but it was mildly diverting, and Daniel Craig is quite rugged. And chiseled. Which was nice.

Deacons and gardensToday, on the advice of curate colleague the other week, I went to a different church for a change, as I had a week off. Tilbury-juxta-Clare is in the benefice I live in, and which I was helping out in before my ordination, and it was good to worship there. Keith, the rector, preached a really enjoyable sermon on the importance of deaconhood - both for laity and clergy - which felt particularly apposite as I'm approaching my ordination to the priesthood. He talked about Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch (which isn't a Famous Five book, whatever it may sound like), and other Christians - ordained deacon and not - who've served God.
After that, we took to the garden. It was a lovely day, and we did lots and lots of clearing. We're beginning to be able to use the bottom half of the garden again, which is quite impressive after about 5 years of lack of attention. The girls helped - on and off - and had a great time. All-in-all, we've had a lovely weekend with the family: the sort you dream of when you start a family.

Ironing, gardening, barbecuingSpent 3 hours or more this morning doing the ironing, which really needed doing. Then gardening, this afternoon, which was fun. The girls are absolutely on their last legs through tiredness at the moment, so it was amazing that they managed to stay awake past 2030 this evening when we went to Si and D's for a barbecue supper. Their friends Naomi and Chris (and Keira, a friend) were over as well, with their kids, and they all played very well: it's a sign that they're all growing up, which is great, but sad at the same time.
On a different note, I've noticed that many of the previous week or so's posts have been rather brief. I'm sorry about this, but it's really been down to the fact that I'm both tired and also trying to work out what's going on with work and redundancy. My current company has told me that they're planning to go through redundancy proceedings, and this is clearly not good news. I'm trying to work out what this means for me, and working on what my future options might be.
It also doesn't mean that I'm not thinking about the issues around ontology and ordination, but my focus has been elsewhere. I'll get back to it, but focusing on my work prospects is even more important now that there are 2 children to look after as well.
God will provide. I really believe that, even in the darkest hours.

Redundancy proceedings(backposting) Well, the thing that I've not been talking about on the blog recently is that it's been looking for a while like my company is going to start redundancy proceedings. I heard today that they're going to start this next week. This isn't good news, obviously, but there are possible options within the larger company, so it's not all doom and gloom. Thoughts, prayers and job offers gratefully accepted.

Miscellaneous catchings-upSo, what's today been about? Well:
- we went to see Kirsty and Matt for an early lunch in Cambridge
- I discovered (yesterday, actually) that the Samsung i8910 HD will be out in the UK soon. I covet it, in a wholly unhealthy way.
- I've had 8 comments so far on my blog post from Friday: A problematic ontology of ministry: employment - and gender. Two of these are from bishops who have kindly taken the time to comment: I value their thoughts particularly, as part of the issue I'm addressing is about the episcopy
- I've been playing with Gnome-Shell, and offering some opinions. I don't pretend to any expertise in UI design, but I'm definitely a power user, in terms of how much I use the desktop and what I tend to do with it. I do like Gnome-Shell, and it's exciting to be working on the future of the Operating System that I know and love.

A family service(backposting) Given Miri's illness yesterday - she seems to be improving today - I'd let Geoff know that I might not make the 0800 service with him in Colne Engaine, which I didn't (though it was Jo who had me up in the night, in the end), but I took Jo to a family service at 1000. She did very well, and I spent lots of time beforehand trying to explain why she couldn't be with me all the time. The main tack was to explain that it could be distracting to other people, who might want to be thinking about something else. We talked about things that she doesn't like being distracted from (colouring, for instance), and I think that helped her to understand.
I also took her swimming this afternoon. Moo stayed at home with Miri - not fair to take her until things have settled down properly - and Jo and I had a great time. She's a really good swimmer now.

Miri's not wellPoor little thing. Ended up taking her to the out-of-hours doctor, and hopefully she'll be better soon. I took her for a walk today - in a backpack - and she was much quieter than usual, though she did like seeing the cows. I enjoyed seeing some sparrows mobbing a sparrowhawk - it's a while since I've seen one around here.

A problematic ontology of ministry: employment - and genderI recently asked couple of questions on Twitter and Facebook:
- What is it to be clergy in non-church employ?
- Is our ministry ontologically different?
Before we go into any detail, I'd note that I've done little or no reading in this area, and that this brief essay is the result only of some thinking and discussions I've had. If you have some thoughts about further reading, I'd be interested to hear them.
How "part-timers" are seenYesterday we had a CME (Continuing Ministerial Education) seminar, just with some of the SSM curates in the diocese, and we had some interesting stories. We considered three constituencies: congregations, clergy and diocese. Some members of our congregation "get" it - some, indeed, welcome it, but the main questions (of a negative nature, at least) that arose within the congregational context seemed to relate to the amount of time that a non-full-time member of clergy can give to the church. From the stories we shared, there seemed to be little questioning of the legitimacy of the idea of self-supporting clergy. Indeed, some congregations seem to welcome the shared perspective which they may feel that "working" member of clergy can deliver in preaching and pastoral situations.
Although most of the interactions that we had experienced from clergy colleagues were positive, there were reports that some clergy colleagues see us as not committing ourselves to ministry to the extent that they do. Resentments that self-supporting clergy "cherry-pick" the best services and jobs within a team were backed up with one report of a member of clergy saying that "you lot haven't had to give up on a career like we have". Still, however, there seemed to be little suggestion over the legitimacy of self-supporting ministry, though suggestions of lack of commitment suggest lingering questions around a life which is defined by ministry.
In many ways, we, as group, didn't feel convinced that the diocese really knows how to deal with us in all contexts. The stories around how deanery and diocesan synods, chapter meetings, training events and the rest are routinely scheduled with little or no thought for those who work full or even part-time were greeted with resignation and recognition by all. Despite the growing reliance by all Church of England dioceses, self-supporting ministers don't seem to feature highly in the thoughts of many of them. This is, surely, partly because the needs and offerings of SSMs are - in some ways, at least - more diverse than those of the "typical" parish priest or curate.
None of this is new: my father has been an NSM for around 40 years, and I've heard similar stories from him over the years.What is it to be clergy in non-church employ? Is our ministry ontologically different? A word about that word: "ontologically". I'm using sense 2 of dictionary.com's definition of ontologically: Of or relating to essence or the nature of being. In other words, what I mean by the question "is our ministry ontologically different?" is "is there something about the nature of our ministry (that of clergy not employed by the church) that is different to that of those who are in the full-time employ of the church that exists because of that difference?"
A couple of clarifications here:
- there's a big (and fascinating) question that's not unrelated about the nature of the ministry of those who are not ordained. I'm going to duck this question because I don't want to be diverted from this question, and not because I don't think it's important. Maybe another time.
- although I've not been entirely clear above, what I'm really talking about is those who not "full-time" clergy: they have other responsibilities and activities which take up much of their time.
I think there's a problem with it, however - not with the answer, which I believe to be right - but in the theology that supports it. First let me note that I very much like the theory of ministry presented by Steven Croft in Ministry in Three Dimensions: A Theological Foundation for Local Church Leadership. The fundamental basis for his argument is that all ordained ministry is based on three qualities: diakonos (loosely: service), presbyteros (loosely: leadership) and episkope (loosely: oversight). That these three qualities provide the basis for the three generally accepted ordained orders (deacon, priest (or presbyters) and bishops (episcopals)) is no surprise, and acts as the starting point for his argument. But he is keen to point out that members of each order must possess each of the three qualities, though the amount to which they will be required will vary from person to person, from role to role, and from situation to situation - and through time. I don't think that this is particularly contentious theology, and I've certainly found it very helpful in my journey through discernment, to ordination, through my deacon's year, and in preparing for my ordination to the priesthood in June, God willing.
Being a bishopBut it raises a question: a big one, I think. "Is there something ontologically incompatible about being a bishop, and not full-time clergy?" Admittedly, as the role of bishop is currently figured, there is a great deal of time required for administration, visiting, etc. - and that's part of the oversight. But is that what oversight _needs_ to be about? And surely we should be figuring the bishop's role from first principles, rather than making the role fit what the job has become over the centuries? Why does this matter? Well, it doesn't matter to me - certainly at the moment! - in terms of preferment: I'm not even a priest yet, and thoughts of bishoprics are rather far off, and would be even if I were full-time. There are questions about how easy it is to become a bishop if one has not been a full-time priest, though: how can one "serve one's time" and move up the greasy pole? Well, _why_ should that be required? There are enough examples of brilliant bishops - and archbishops - who moved very quickly into their posts, without all the kerfuffle of parish incumbencies, becoming an archdeacon, a canon, a dean, etc.. And why do the diakonos, presbyteros and episkope exercised by those not in the church full-time not "count" towards the criteria required to become a bishop? Well, they're beginning to, I hope.
But there's something deeper going on here: something more ontological. If the church is not ready to accept that someone who is not full-time can enter the order whose defining characteristic is episkope - oversight - and become a bishop, then that casts grave doubts over the legitimacy of the episkope that is exercised by all those in the _other_ orders who are, likewise, not full-time. How can we figure a legitimate, and fully accepted diaconate and priesthood? To be clear, what I'm saying is that it is difficult to base an ontological understanding of the theology of the orders of the diaconate and the priesthood if there is no corresponding ontological understanding for the episcopal order.
GenderSo far, this entry - or essay - has been about the issue of employment, but the more I thought about the issues being discussed, the more I realised that we can't ignore the issue of gender. In the Church of England, we have not only no self-supporting ministers who are bishops - that is, no self-supporting bishops - but we also have no women ministers who are bishops: we have no woman bishops. Now, many self-supporting ministers - including me - maintain the option to move to full-time ministry. Although the nature of our role as ministers seems somewhat compromised by what comes down to our employment status - if you accept the argument presented above - we have the option to change that.
The same does not follow for women: the nature of the ontological problematic for them is more fundamental. For there is a corresponding problem about the legitimacy of woman deacons and woman priests if there are no woman bishops: the correspondence seems very close. Some members of the Church of England will accept that women can be priests and deacons, but cannot exercise "headship" (for which we can probably fairly safely substitute our word "episkope"), and therefore cannot become bishops. Others will not accept women and priests, but will accept them as deacons, whereas some will not accept them in any of the ordained orders. Given the argument above, I would argue that only the last set holds a consistent position, but a good deal of the work being done with regard to finding a settlement around the issue of woman bishops in the Church of England seems to centre around the group that will accept deacons and priests, but not bishops.
My view - and it's a strong one - is that the ministry of women is entirely legitimate, and I have no problems whatsoever with the ontological basis for it. More important, I don't believe that the lack of any woman bishops impacts on that legitimacy. However, the lack of the capability for there to be a woman bishop _does_ impact on the continued legitimacy of the ministry of women in the Church of England. Until we, as a church, can overcome this problem, ontological problems will remain, and will continue to allow doubts to remain about legitimacy.
A brief conclusionI have no conclusion to offer, really, beyond to ask for more theological discussion around the ontology of ministry. We've avoided the question of non-ordained ministry, but even with a restricted scope, have identified what I believe to be two major - and growing - issues for ministry within the Church of England and the Anglican church as a whole. Part of the question, of course, revolves whether we accept in detail Croft's view of ministry in 3 dimensions, but whether we do or not, in the Anglican church we consider that there is a coherence between the 3 orders of ministry. This, then, casts concerns over how legitimate the church considers the ministry of self-supporting and woman ministers to be. I would stress that it does not matter whether this consideration is explicit or not: what matters is if the theology around which the ontology of ministry is based is coherent, and whether it introduces concerns over legitimacy.

Oh this hedgehog.
My kids found him on Monday, took him home and plopped him in a basket. Tuesday morning...you guessed it... the basket is empty and Mr. Hedgehog is nowhere to be found.
We spent quite a bit of time searching for him, but to no avail.
At 3:30 AM, Wednesday morning I hear,
"Moooooooom!!!!!!" I wake up from a very deep sleep (partly induced by Benadryl, since I've been a bit sick) and go to William. "Mama...I just saw an animal run out of my room...I think it's the Hedgehog." In addition to reassuring him that he can go back to sleep, I began an inner conversation with myself.
Do I go try to find it?
Grr....it's a hedgehog.
If I don't find it now, I probably won't find it until it begins to stink.
Grrr....I'm loosing sleep over a HEDGEHOG!!!
Then I hear from my bathroom:
"WIFE-Y!!! I found the hedgehog! I was innocently trying to use the bathroom and it began to nibble at my feet. I reached down to brush away whatever it was that I felt and quickly realized it was the hedgehog!"
AH!! Hedgehog safely returned to a closed container.
Oh...and my kids have learned that the Lugisu name for Hedgehog is napupu. (pronounced: Nah-poo-poo). There has been no end to the snickers around here.

Who doesn't tip others for a good service and who doesn't like being tipped for extending a great service? Tipping has been common now and in many places, tipping is added to the service charge. Tipping in the form of currency is an alternative to say "Thank You" to the person who has helped you.
Why tip in Bitcoins?
The advantages of using Bitcoins to tip others are:
- It has a low transaction fee
- It processes transfers very fast
What you need in order to earn in Bitcoins?
In order to cash up on your Bitcoins, you need:
- A Bitcoin wallet,
- A Bitcoin address, and
- A QR-code linked to your Bitcoin address
How to be tipped?
Here are some ways by which you can be tipped by other users:
- If you post something nice or informative and the people who read it likes it, then some of them tend to show you their appreciation by means of tipping in Bitcoins.
- Alternatively, if you host a service to which people are pleasantly delighted, then they can tip you by rewarding you in terms of Bitcoins.
- Additionally, if you have created something innovative, for example a code or a software and put it up for others to explore but not buy, then you might get rewarded in Bitcoins as a token of appreciation for the work that you have created.
- Another way by which you can be tipped in Bitcoins is by answering questions put forward by other users. One such platform that encourages discussions and pays in Bitcoins is Bitfortip. Bitfortip allows users to be rewarded and tipped in Bitcoins.
- The easiest way of earning Bitcoins in the form of tips is that if you own a business, for example a restaurant that transacts in Bitcoins, then tipping in Bitcoins comes naturally.
Accepting Bitcoins in the form of tips can be considered as a form of payment of the service that you have offered without actually calling it a job.
What you need to do so that others may tip you?
Just by offering a service will not do. Rather you need to provide your Bitcoin address next to each of the above mentioned options, right after the service or in the footer section, so that other users can easily track you and tip you. In short, you will need to initiate creative awareness process among the users who might tip you.

Investigation log for Margam Park Port Talbot Saturday 3rd October 2015
Investigation times: 10pm-3am
Weather: dry and mild
Back again to a BTG favourite.
For the first vigil, we firstly took all the guests to the downstairs main room. In here the K2s were going mad and up to red. Some of the guests heard a female voice quietly and the knocking block which was in the room next door went off. One of the guests had to leave the circle and the room as she went clammy and thought she was going to be sick. This cleared once she left the room and within 5 minutes, she was back in the circle with no after effects. A male was being sensed in the room and darran believes that it may have been Mr Talbot. I got the name of Catherine and then Colin picked up on a female who was distressed and had blood all over her. She was scared of someone. She stated that her name was Katherine with a k. Two bumps were also heard. Darren B had the thermal camera and picked up a heat source on a chair where no one was anywhere near. Whose ghostly bum was sat on it?
We then moved onto the library were we could hear mumbled conversation from elsewhere despite there being no one in the building apart from us. Heavy breathing was heard by a couple of the guests as well as a faint whistle. Again darran was picking up on a male. The trifield shot up to 5 bars. There were a couple of K2 hits and the sound of distant footsteps but apart from that, quite quiet
The guests then went off to conduct their own investigations
Library- guests were getting K2 hits and on the planchette picked p a male servant who doesn't care that we are here. He drew a circle and 2 flowers.
Other guests did a planchette and picked up on a male servant who had lived in the house. He drew a circle and one guest was touched. A strange creak was then heard as though someone had sat in one of the chairs.
Nursery- guests on a planchette picked up on a 4 yr old girl called Olive. Shes happy and lived there. Her nanny wouldn't let her say much or play. Olives not trapped in the room but is free to move around the building. She states that no other children are with her at that time. The nanny then came through and wasn't very happy and wouldn't let the guests talk to the children at all.
Main upstairs room- guests on a planchette had a Katherine come through who died in an accident. She stated that shes not the only one in the room children were there also. One of the guests had her hair touched and another was also touched. Katherine was happy for them to be there. She fell to her death. She states that Mr Talbot had children. She confirmed that she was standing behind one of the guests who was touched. She gave the year of 1801 and that one of the guests reminded of someone. She had a little boy. She had also lost a little girl in childbirth. She gave her surname as being Summers. She states that she wasn't shot but the blood on her which Colin had picked up on earlier, was where she hit her face when she fell. She stated that her little boy had been killed at the age of 7 by the gardener who hit him in the chest with a spade. He was fair haired and had blue eyes. She doesn't like men as her son was murdered by one. She died within a year of her son. A guest and Dave then heard something being whimpered in her ear.
We then took everyone to do the next vigil on the stairs. Darran picked up on a male called Henry who was either a Captain or Colonel. Childs voices were also heard by guests and a shadow was seen behind me on the stairs. Guests could also hear people's voices coming from the main room at the top of the stairs.
We then moved into the main upstairs room at the top of the hands. Everyone was in the circle and spirit was raising their hands either out in front of them or above their heads. The K2a were going to red again and a couple of guests heard a child giggling. I picked up on the name of Benjamin. There was then the sound of a door creaking from somewhere and darran could hear voices coming from the staircase. Darran tapped twice to see if they would copy him but in between his first and second taps, another was heard, not made by him.
Again, everyone went off to do their own investigations.
In the library, 2 guests made a hasty retreat when they heard a chair creak and then a heavy breath near them.
Nursery again, a female energy was picked up. She stated that she had children of her own. One of the children died whilst in her care. Her room was within the area beyond the sealed door in the room.
Bedroom- guests on a pendulum had Lady Talbot who was upset at the changes made to her house. She feels lonely. She has her children with her but not her husband. She was happy to talk to guests and have visitors at the house
Main downstairs room -guests on the board again picked up on a female who stated that she died in 1801 and gave the name of Katherine Summers. Shes not happy but doesn't want the guests to leave. Darren B was touched on the back of his neck. Again she stated that her little boy was killed by a grounds man. She would prefer it if it was all females around the table. When Darren stated that he wasn't leaving, the pointer went to "bad" on the board. Her sons name was Ben and he was hit in the chest with a spade. She confirmed that there were 3 males around the board (there were) and that including her, there were 5 females (there were) she confirmed that there were 5 members in the BTG team and was able to spell out the names of some of the guests on the board.
The last vigil firstly started in the nursery where not a lot happened and it was quite quiet apart from one of the guests being touched.
On moving into the room next door, distant conversation could be heard; footsteps and shadows were also seen. Darran tried the spirit box and spirit decided to use it in here where they hadn't communicated through it the rest of the night. In here, it firstly said HELLO twice before giving the names of KATHERINE / FERGUS and a couple of indecipherable things before clearly saying "GET OUT "Twice. Just at the end, darran asked spirit who they wanted to leave and it either said "YOU or LEANNE "
EVPs picked up through the night were
Nursery:before we have even started and we are in the base room at the start of the night, something is either dropped or thrown and you can hear whatever it is, bounce along the floor.
Later on during the second, lone investigations, one guest whistles and asks spirit to copy her. She hears and it's also picked up on EVP a faint whistle in response.
Bedroom: various knocks and taps are picked up and when we are doing the vigil in the main room upstairs, Darran asks for the tune of shaven haircut to be finished and there are two taps heard finishing it off. It was either from this bedroom or just outside it.
Stairs:there's the sound of something dropping or of some grit being stood on. This is when no one is in the area at all, when we are downstairs doing a vigil
Main upstairs room: during the planchette session on the first lones, the whisper or exhalation of breath in the guest's ear has been picked up.
Main downstairs room: when we were doing the vigil in there, there was a noise but it was no ones stomach. One guest thought that it was a woman's voice. The noise needs cleaning up to see what it was.
Darran had left a recorder running during the lone vigils. Two guests are in the room and a low voice next to the recorder either says " BRING IT ON, OR KEEP CALM ". It needs enhancing and cleaning up to make sure.
Library:darran asks spirit to make noises louder whilst doing the vigil and there was a slight voice
We didn't get a lot on the video footage apart from one orb on the stairs that seems to come from around the pillar and then float down the stairs, just as one comes up the stairs. They pass each other and the one going down disappears down the stairs and the other gets to the top and is seen to turn right. Other than that, nothing bar lots of dust and a few bats.

The divine Acropolis, crowned with the legendary Parthenon Temple rises above the city watching the sprawling evolving Attica region. Athens, a sophisticated cosmopolitan hub with signs of new art, emerging neighborhoods, passionate street artists, style conscious wanderers and revamp hotels, is a must go European destination.

Welcome to my Halloween room!
When I was younger, Halloween was one of my all-time favourite 'holidays'. I would stay up all night, waiting for midnight on October 31, believing that magic was truly in the air.
Now being grown-up and not believing in magic anymore, except that magic of books, I am going to focus this month on Halloween-themed books and each week provide a number of Halloween costumes that have been inspired by classical literature (and how to do their authors proud!) For example, does the monster in Frankenstein really have green skin? Stay tuned to find out…
Welcome to my Halloween Town!

It was truly a historic day for horse racing on Saturday. Finally, after 37 long years and numerous attempts at it, a horse finally won the Triple Crown. That horse, as we all know, was American Pharoah. Going into the Kentucky Derby in May, nobody was sure how Pharoah was going to respond to the competition since he had only been in five previous races. Well, I guess you'd say he responded better then expected, as he etched his name into the record books yesterday as the 12th Triple Crown winner ever.
It was great to see history happen yesterday. Everyone, whether you were at Belmont Park or at your house, was sitting on the edge of their seats, hoping that Pharoah could do it. And then, when he crossed the finish line to win by five and a half lengths, jubilation hit. NBC's Tom Hammond called it the loudest roar he's ever heard at a sporting event. Twitter blew up with millions of tweets sent within minutes. People were excited and relieved that finally, after nearly four decades, that they saw a Triple Crown winner.
All of this begs the question, though: now what?
The sports world, and America for that matter, is still buzzing over the Triple Crown win. Pharoah's trainer, Bob Baffert, will be going on the Today show Monday to talk about the victory, along with his other various team members. A lot of people will be talking about it Monday, but then what? If Bob Baffert had won the race, it'd be a little different. You would see him more often on television. He could even get big sponsorship deals like LeBron James or Peyton Manning. But he didn't win the race. American Pharoah did. That's why I ask the question: what's next?
American Pharoah's win wasn't as much about him as it was ending the long drought of Triple Crown winners. If a horse wins the first two legs of the Triple Crown next year and has a chance to win it at Belmont, will people care? Part of watching the Belmont was to finally see the Triple Crown drought end. Now that we've seen one, will anyone care if another horse does it next year? Or in two years? It'll take another long drought before people want to see another Triple Crown winner.
What does American Pharoah do now? Bob Ryan, who was filling in for Tony Kornheiser on Pardon the Interruption Friday, said it best: "It's not like you're going to see American Pharoah hosting Saturday Night Live." It's a funny point to bring up, but there's also some truth behind it. Pharoah is just a horse, not a human being. He's not going to land some major sponsorship deal from this. He's not going to star in movies. Hell, he can't even come back next year to defend his crown. You have to be three years old to race for the Triple Crown. Saturday was the last time we'll see American Pharoah, for all intents and purposes.
I'm a sucker for big sporting events, and I know come the first Saturday in May next year, I will be watching the Kentucky Derby. But how many others will? The Triple Crown drought had gone on so long that the casual sports fan watched the races just to see it end. Now that the drought's over, those fans will leave. It'll still be important, but it won't carry the same meaning it's had for the last 37 years.
Yes, it was great to see American Pharoah win the Triple Crown. It was long overdue for the sport, and it has everyone waking up this morning talking about horse racing, something that rarely happens. Within a week, though, the racing community will have a simple question to ask themselves: now what?
Thanks for reading. Make sure to check out the other blogs I've posted, and stay tuned as I go more in-depth on all the things going on in the sports world. This is Game of Sports.

This is my first time taking an at home computer based language course. I am very impressed and find it so easy to follow along and pick up the language well. The audio is very clear and I love the interactive role playing. I will definitely recommend this program of language courses. I will purchase more courses for myself as well.

Well, I've just finished my project-report, and I have been working with it about 10 hours with no breaks. Did go and eat lunch at Pizza Hut (Yay! I love Pizza Hut!) though, I and my grandpa that is. We both had the lunch buffet, and drank Pepsi Max (Mmmm...).
Some notable facts about my day though:
* I had been working for about five hours without drinking anything when my grandmother arrived, and wanted access to the computer
* I had been wanting to visit the bathroom (to pee) for more than 5 hours
So, I thought I deserved to watch some fun colourful thing, so I watched this YouTube video;

There are so many different things you can do when you are in Las Vegas. Gambling just so happens to be what most people do, but since many people are coming to Las Vegas with their families they are turning to doing more family fun activities such as sightseeing, swimming, live shows and shopping.
If you have not been to Las Vegas before then you are in for a treat. The very first time I was in Las Vegas I was trapped inside the casino because I didn't know what else there was and at that time there wasn't anything for kids, it was an adults only city. I know just how much fun Las Vegas can be once you know a few fun things to do other than gambling away all your money.
Fremont Street Lightshow
The one thing I didn't even know was there when I went to Fremont Street was the overhead lightshow that goes every hour at night. If you have not been to see the Fremont Street Lightshow I highly recommend it. It is located right next to one of the most historical hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, The Golden Nugget Casino And Hotel.
The thing I love about the light show is that there are so many shops and restaurants there that you can sit outside and eat under the show. A couple of the best times to come to see the light show are on July 4th and on New Year's Eve.
A few things that you must see with a tour guide are Wayne Newton's house, new casinos, the historic areas such as where many of the biggest robberies happened and where some of the first casinos were built, and also a look at Hoover dam, one of the biggest dams in the world.
Did you know that just because you aren't a guest at the hotel the hotel will still let you swim at their pool as long as you are a customer? What this means is that you only have to buy one drink in order to swim, so you can see every pool in Las Vegas by simply buying a drink. You probably would have bought a drink anyway, so why not do it while you see all the great pools in Vegas?
If you have not seen the Stratosphere in action then that is a thing to see in itself. The Stratosphere is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and is the tallest building in Las Vegas by far. There have been many improvements in the Stratosphere and most recently they have included a ride called the SkyJump which lets you fall off the Stratosphere over 800 feet. On top of that thrill you can also ride the Big Shot which is the highest thrill ride in the entire world.
As you can see there is so much more to do in Las Vegas than just gamble so take your time when you are there to do something that will provide memories for a lifetime, not just depending on whether you win or lose.

We've all been there. Over Christmas and New Year it is all too easy to over indulge in all our favorite foods and missing the gym become a common habit very quickly when we don't want to venture outside into the colder weather. Then, before you know it, summer is here and the panic sets in about not being beach body ready. When it comes to getting fit and healthy, there are no long-term quick fixes so here, we are taking you through some easy steps that you can follow to get in shape for summer the healthy way.
Make Small and Consistent Changes
When you are trying to get fit and healthy, you should look at it as a lifestyle change and not just something that you focus on pre-summer season. Many of us are guilty of implementing lots of changes all at once and while this can have a quick effect, we don't end up sticking to them. The best thing to do is make small but consistent changes. If you focus on instead making changes slower, then studies show that you are far more likely to sustain them. This could simply start with eating a healthier breakfast and making a conscious effort to walk more in your day to day life. When you start to see big changes from these small lifestyle adjustments, this is exactly the motivation that you need to keep you going and make further healthy changes to your diet.
Throw Away the Scales
One of the biggest mistakes that we see people make time and time again is placing too much importance on the number on the scales. Don't get us wrong, weighing yourself every few weeks is a good way to keep track of your progress, however, weighing yourself every other day is not a healthy habit to start. Our bodies fluctuate daily for a whole host of reasons and so it can be discouraging when you stand on the scales and it appears that you have put on a few pounds in a few days. Instead, we would recommend that you measure your health and fitness journey in other ways such as how many healthy meals you ate this week compared to fast food meals, how heavy the weights are that you lifted, how many miles you have run and how your clothes are fitting. So, if you find that the scale stresses you out, get rid of it!
Get Your Heart Rate Going
One of the great things about regular exercise is not only the effect it has on your physical health but also on your mental health too. If you are trying to incorporate more cardio in your daily life, we would suggest aiming for at least 20 minutes every day. However, we do realise for most people hitting the gym every day is not sustainable. Instead, why not invest in some at home gym apparatus? The Bowflex Max Trainer is a fantastic option that you can easily fit into your home. What we love about it is that it incorporates high intensity interval training into your workout regime, which means that your muscles will continue to burn calories from one day to two days after the time that you have worked out. This means more calories burned just in time for summer fast approaching. If you want to know more about it, be sure to check out the review from allworkoutroutines.com/.
Give Up the Diets
When we say give up the diets, no, we don't mean just eating whatever junk food you want! As we mentioned before, rather than trying to just stick to a diet, it is better to try and follow a healthy lifestyle instead and this also means incorporating healthier foods into your diet. If you are trying to stick to a super healthy diet, it is then only a matter of time before you fall of this diet. Instead, why not learn more about nutrition and how you can nourish your body to feel the very best that you possibly can. Healthy eating often gets confused as having to simply eat salads all of the time when this is not the case. Balance is key and you can eat everything in moderation, just try to stick to eating predominantly healthy foods.
Focus on Yourself
Health and fitness is a very personal journey and that is why you should always focus on yourself and the progress that you have made instead of comparing yourself to others. When you try and compete with friends or others in the gym, you can quickly become discouraged if they are making better progress than you are. Everyone's journey will be different, so as long as you are heading in the right direction, you are making fantastic, positive change!

I don't know about you, but there are some days where dinner better be quick and easy to fix or forget it. Today was one of those days. Not a big fan of mustard? Not to worry. This is one recipe where the combination of ingredients provides the flavor versus one flavor hog.
Serves - 6 / Serving Size - 1 filet
Preparation Time - 5 minutes / Cooking Time - 10 minutes
1 Tblspn light brown sugar [used Splenda brown sugar mix]
1 Tblspn honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 Tblspn lite soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground ginger
6 (5-oz) salmon filets [the most I ever fix at one time is two]
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, cook the brown sugar, honey, mustard and soy sauce for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in the ginger.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat. Coat the salmon filets with nonstick cooking spray and place skin side down in the skillet. Spread some glaze over the filets and cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Turn the filets, spread with more glaze and cook another 5 minutes or until the salmon flakes with a fork. Add the remaining glaze to the pan and cook 1 minute until bubbly. Serve the sauce with the salmon.

- Because of preparing only one large filet cut in half, I measured out just slightly less per each ingredient called for.
- Next time I will cut back on the brown sugar and honey as it was really, REALLY sweet, as well as tending to burn before it was time to turn them [as you can see in the pic]
- Definitely going to add a little fresh grated ginger too.
- After removing the filets and most of the sauce, I kept a little in the skillet and tossed in some fresh spinach.

Laura and I have been and will continue to live the Browns off and on over the next couple of months. While we have already found an apartment, we've yet to furnish it. So, the ever so gracious Josh, Anna, Jack, and Bubba (aka Little Bit Brown) are letting us share living space with them.
So far, its been a blast, and now that Laura and I are on the Family Tour 2008 we're actually missing them. But the FT08 has been quite a trip so far:
1. Not only did I get to attend the largest wiffle ball game you might ever imagine, but we had a 4th of July BBQ at my parents place for about 50 people. This wiffle ball game has become something of a legend in the neighborhood/city/community of Eutaw Alabama, and well, it lived up to its legendary status with our team winning two out of three games 8-6, 2-5, 5-2. Yeah, it was the stuff of legends. But not nearly as legendary as this, or this.
2. A great fish tale. Yeah, I am back in the South, which also means that among other things, I spend time with family doing things that I haven't done in years. This time, namely bass fishing. My brother step-father and I all went over to one of our lakes on the 3rd and well, I shocked the world. How, you might ask, by catching a whopping 8lb+ large mouth bass. My brother was more excited than I. And would still continue to say, 'I'd love to catch a fish that big, but I might go my whole life and never catch on that size'. Talk about not knowing what I was getting into. LUCKY! Well that, and as I heard my brother describing it a friend, 'yeah we can't believe Davy Crockett came home and caught something like this already.' Yep, thats me;)
3. Golf with Dad, Uncles, and Grandpa. Yep, I've already gotten quite a bit of golf in. I lost a bit of pocket money the first day, but didn't play that bad. Now, I'm preparing to play in a tournament with my grandfather next weekend. He's getting old, but he can still play some golf. He wanted to play in the tournament one more time. I am glad I am getting to play in it with him!
4. Flat tires and talking nieces. Yesterday while driving to pick up Laura's mom from work, i ran over a roofing tile that covered all the lanes and popped two tires on the car. I've also been able to spend time with nieces Ellie and Emilie. Wow, Ellie can talk. And talk. And talk. And talk. Its truly cute cause she'll say anything. I'd love to recreate Pearl with her, but the family isn't too interested. But did I mention she could talk?
I think that is probably it for updates for now. I sense that the transition back to the American culture is going well, and every once in a while, I hear myself say something and I have to say it again differently. I've been laughed at, corrected, and mocked for saying certain things in certain ways, but I'm not really too bothered by it. Again, I'll just have to contextualize my language and the like. Cause ifin I dont, I mite jus git into moore trouble than tis worth. GBA!
I guess the only real negative thing about not being in Atlanta (or close) right now, is that I just missed Obama. But hey, we will be blue come November!

If Greece were to withdraw, the government would find it unnecessary to pay its outstanding euro bonds. German, French, and Swiss banks are the largest holders of Greek bonds. They would not be pleased if Greece defaulted on the bonds.
From this article:
It remains unclear whether it would even be legally possible for Greece to depart from the euro zone. Legal experts believe it would also be necessary for the country to split from the European Union entirely in order to abandon the common currency. At the same time, it is questionable whether other members of the currency union would actually refuse to accept a unilateral exit from the euro zone by the government in Athens.It looks like it may not be up to the Greek government on whether or not it can leave the euro zone. If not, then it is apparent that Greece is not a sovereign country.
This reminds me of a historical episode where some states attempted to secede from a union. That didn't go well. I hope the Greeks have better luck.

Red line - resistance (broken) now support
The Dollar index is trading above the 4-hour Kumo (cloud) support. Price has not even pulled back towards the 38% Fibonacci retracement of the latest rise. This confirms the strength of the uptrend. Short-term support is at 94.50 and next at 94.10 the previously broken resistance.
On a weekly basis, the trend remains bearish as the price is below the weekly Kumo (cloud). The kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) resistance is at the same level with the weekly 38% Fibonacci retracement at 95.40. I expect this level to be tested and price to get rejected in order to resume the longer-term downward trend towards 88-90.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
