Standard weave, white Judogi, complete with pants and belt. The Judogi has a narrower fitting than an Aikidogi, with longer sleeves and a shorter body
length. This style of dogi may be more suited to finer boned or lighter bodied students, where the Aikidogi feels too wide, even after shrinkage. This
Judogi is made from the same weave material as our standard quality Aikidogi. The pants have standard knee pads and side loops only. Includes
white belt.
Note: These dogi are made from quality cotton and have a shrinkage rate of about 10%, so they always appear well oversize when new, be sure not to hot wash a new dogi as they will shrink unduly. Allow them to shrink naturally after a couple of cold washes.
Guide for delivery charges:
Standard Judogi = 2.3kg
We aim to provide the best delivery service possible to members, but the mix of compact, bulky items and long weapons can be create a complex shipping list. We have two delivery options, an Australia Post bag for more compact items and a mixed order of compact items and long weapons. The system calculates the total weight of your order and the shipping list shows the options available. Aust. Post bags are an Australia-wide delivery service and mixed orders are set by location. However, check the list as a mixed order rate may sometimes be less expensive to ship than using multiple post bags. As a guide: a training set of 1x dogi, a bokken & jo (+/- a tanto) and a weapons bag is under 5kgs. 2 x sets would put you into the next weight bracket and so on.
Special Orders - if you have an order outside the weight range the system already provides, then prior to ordering you can email our wholesaler with your anticipated order and YOUR LOCATION, they will confirm the delivery package or packages you need to pay.
Email <firstname.lastname@example.com>
If required, you can top up the set delivery costs by ordering one or a multiple of the individual dollar delivery packages.
Note: Delivery charges are adjusted frequently.

So I have been keeping a little secret from you all….
I am happy, sad, scared, terrified, worried, shocked, nervous, delighted and all the emotions in between.
I was really really poorly with Harry so it's likely I will be this time, which terrifies me.
The older kids first reaction was not good. They were really worried about me and didn't want to see me go through all of that again, but now we have chatted more about it, they have come around and are getting excited 🙂
Tom (OH) is really excited! This is our 4th child but his second. All the kids call and see him as dad and he loves them all equally but this is the second baby from the beginning, so he's really excited. He's obviously worried about me too 🙂
I am only 8 weeks and already all has not gone smoothly. I am on Ramipril for high blood pressure, I have been since having Harry but they started to make me really ill, I couldn't get out of bed one day because I just wanted to pass out every time I got up, so I went to the doctors and they told me to instantly stop taking them (I had two days previously because I knew they were not doing me any good) because they are harmful in pregnancy 🙁 so now I have to visit the doctors weekly to keep an eye on my blood pressure, as well as keeping a check at home.
I also visited my midwife this week and have been told from 12 weeks I will need to be on Aspirin. I need two GTT because I had gestational diabetes with harry and I will need to see the midwife more times that usual. And I will be referred to the hypertension team soon.
I have decided to tell you all early because I am off to Britmums very soon and there is no way I can hide my bump, it's huge!
See? 🙂

About This Project
Most urban ecology research is from the temperate zones. As a Peruvian-American scientist, I'd like to know whether patterns of change in bird biodiversity (like biotic homogenization, the simplification of bird communities) seen in temperate cities are also present in tropical areas. This project, one of my dissertation chapters, will assess how bird communities in the Peruvian Amazon and in the Pacific Coastal Desert change along urban gradients.

So David Moyes has gone and to be honest it's sad to see. He was a manager hired because of the manager he could be, not because of the manager he was and he hasn't been given the opportunity to explore that potential. That said there is a good case to suggest this was a job to far for him, he failed to grasp a few key points about managing a big club. In a way he has made the same mistakes and in some ways his tenure will be remembered in the same vein as Roy Hodgson at Liverpool.
There's an old saying in sport, particularly in the NFL, a market where United's owners are familiar that says when you talk to the press you talk to your players. Players will listen to what you say in your press conferences; they're professionals and will look to pick up on any narrative a manager may be spinning to help the team or to reiterate as required if asked. Managing expectation in the press means the pressure to perform is lifted from your players and that's not OK. It creates excuses for them, pressure to perform and pressure to succeed is very different, you can take away the pressure to succeed and survive but not both. Ultimately the negativity exuded by the human handbrake that was press conference Moyes took away the pressure to perform. When a player goes into a game being told by the manager that they are under-dogs, they enter the game with a different mind-set, particularly if your squad are very decorated. If nothing is expected of you then there's no pressure to deliver anything. Most Man United fans would have accepted not winning anything this season, but all wanted to see signs that this was the club was in good hands and that simply hasn't been the case.
Managers at top clubs create a narrative around what they're doing and stick to that narrative. When Brendan Rodgers first arrived at Liverpool the narrative was about style, there was no expectation in terms of wins or success but from the outset the line was that he was changing the way Liverpool play, it was clear what he wanted the players to do and how he wanted them to behave. Players who couldn't do that were then moved on regardless of reputation or price tag. Mourhino at Chelsea this season has been on the we're not favorites bandwagon, but the narrative at Chelsea has always been Mourhino and nothing else. He makes it about himself and that means the only pressure to succeed comes from within and the media tend to leave the players alone. Pochettino at Southampton has gone a different way, by delivering his post games and pressers in his native Spanish there is little narrative to create nothing to infer from what's being said and it will have played some part in the fact Southampton have had a remarkable second season back in the Premier League.
Moyes has always maintained a certain level of dignity, kept his mouth shut when banners were flying over the stadium during a 4-1 thumping of Villa but class has never been his biggest problem. His rhetoric has been inconsistent and his performances uninspiring. When it comes to dealing with the Press its clue over class every time. Eye Gouging, player slagging, Ref Badgering and Media darling, Mourihno is testament to that!
That said, rampant short term-ism doesn't help and I'd have liked to have seen him given more time, he may have annoyed a lot of the squad but a lot of this squad wont be there next season, even fewer in the following season. Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra will all go and Giggs will retire. At the start of next season Carrick will be 33 and Fletcher the wrong side of 30. Hernandez wants first team football, Lindegaard the same. I'd expect one of Nani, Young or Valencia to move on with the emergence of Januzaj and the addition of Mata, then there's Danny Wellbeck who recently suggested he'd have to move on to play in his preferred role.
Van Persie is the biggest conundrum here, for my money I'd think about moving him on while he's still worth something. The injuries are starting to mount again, he's been vocally critical of his team mates for getting in his way and he'll be 31 at the start of next season. The best United sides had pace as well as craft and directness and Van Persie lacks any real pace with which to build an attack around and with United's frankly ridiculous commitment to Rooney the colours have been nailed to the mast in terms of which direction United want to go.
There are also parts of the squad that have failed to develop, Januzaj aside most of the younger players in the squad haven't developed, Jones's ability on the ball has seen him moved from pillar to post and as a result he's neither nailed down the position of pillar or post. Chris Smalling and Tom Clevlerly aren't showing the kind of development required to hold regular first team places or even places in the squad, and in an ideal world you'd like an upgrade on Rafael. All of this leaves a squad will suffer a talent drain in terms of players and has suffered a talent drain from poor coaching of it's players, the latter can be rectified but the damage was done with the former long ago.
Moyes deserved more time because the club haven't helped him, new chief executive Ed Woodward was a rabbit in headlights in the summer window adding just Fellani and making little more than kissy faces and beckoning gestures at the top talent moving around Europe at the time. When January came around the addition of Juan Mata, which will likely turn out to be a good move came at a time where the team were playing a style that by-passed him completely with wingers thumping crosses into the forlorn Robin Van Persie or Hernandez. Moyes has had to adapt his style to accommodate Mata which can be difficult to do mid-season.
The admin and the football side of the club needed to be on the same page and they simply weren't. It's easy to add players to a squad, it's a lot harder to add the right players and United haven't given Moyes a prayer in this regard. You can land some of that squarely at Moyes's feet though for not communicating what the goal is but most of it lies with the club and its hierarchy. In terms of Net Spend, this will be the highest in United History with almost nothing made from Transfers over the summer, but there has been little value in that spend, Fellani was bought for 4.5 million over his already astronomical release clause and record signing Mata has yet to fully find his feet.
Director of Football is a token gesture at Man United Football Club but it may be time to revisit that approach during this difficult time, not perhaps going in a full European sense but somebody who helps establish coaching style, playing style and works with the manager to recruit staff and players accordingly. Alex Ferguson was a phenomenon and an overlord who papered over so many cracks during his tenure, but football moved on while United stayed the same and that consistency was a strength. Now it's gone, United must make the same moves as the rest football. Ferguson will have done the job of 4 or 5 people including director of football, player development officer and psychologist.
This leads on to the final point. Ferguson was many things at United but a first class coach he was not. Barren spells followed immediately after the departure of Kidd, then McLaren, then Queiroz. There is a pretty decent pattern that follows the departure of an able assistant from Fergie's side to a trophyless season. By letting the coaching staff go, Moyes ripped the years of accumulated know how out of the club and started everything afresh. He was the manager, he's entitled to do what he wants and to be honest by adding Giggs and Phil Neville to his staff he made more than a token gesture at continuity. The fact that Phelan has not been picked up and Meulensteen was less than successful at Fulham suggests that they weren't particularly special.
Where United went wrong is they failed to recognise what they lost. Fergie was a one man infrastructure and when he left that infrastructure went with him, the fact he was never adequately replaced is not the fault of David Moyes, it's the fault of the United Board for not recognising what left and provisioning for it correctly. United are playing catch up for the first time in a very long time, and they also need to with the rest of football off the field before then can do so on the field. There's more to football admin than sponsorship deals, United are going to have to figure that out like everybody else had too. Whoever replaces Moyes needs to be given a better infrastructure above him, or they will suffer the same fate.

How do you launch the next big product or service? Many will tell you the key lies in technology – perhaps the savvy use of social media. I would argue that success in launching any new business venture does not begin with a technological element. It starts in a more human space.
The formula I've seen work again and again is this: Passion + Partnering = Success. By this I mean, you start with your passion, you look for ways to act as a partner to your customers, and ultimately, success flows to both of you.
Certainly, this was my experience in starting Rakuten. When I began, I had little more than my passion and I made sure to show it. When I made sales calls on my earliest customers, I would often do push-ups in the parking lot so I could burst into the customer's store brimming with energy and adrenalin.
But it was much more than a sales tactic. I followed up my energized pitch with a promise to partner with my clients – to be part of the process that brought their stores into the digital world. In those early days, Rakuten staff often accompanied customers to the store to help them purchase their first computers. We helped them step-by-step to set up their websites and make this leap into the virtual world.
This is still our process today. Merchants in our marketplace are in close contact with their Rakuten representatives. That person is charged with acting as the customer's partner – giving advice, support, becoming part of that merchant's effort to be successful in the online world. When the merchant does well, Rakuten shares in the success.
Anyone can be passionate. But when you combine that passion with a commitment to partnership, you create a team. It's that collaboration that can turn passion into success.

Downward Quicksand
The halls of eternity I face yet again.
Seven days of judgment shall I fight to the end.
Dark sides of insanity I know will come back to me.
Time it be released for the whole world to see.
Valient maybe the choice I now make.
The battle be alone for eveyone's sake.
A miracle behold, I've lasted this long unbound.
For an anchor to reality has yet to be found.
Friends never there, if I ever had them.
Pain they will share, for my past will break them.
Every passing second, I await the final sun
Shall destiny behold my fate and thus be done.
Have you ever felt the rush of power and strength when you made a choice that could very well determine your future? Got goosebumps on your arms and made the hair stand at the back of your neck somehow the choices you made in life are going to make a difference of some kind? I've rarely met people like those. Most people seem to be stuck in perpetual deadlock with their choices and options, looking like they are caught between a rock and some hard place. Are our options that limited? Or are we really missing something here?
I don't know…seeing that poem up there, it reminds me when I made that choice not to give a damn about the moral concenquences of my actions. Looking back at that time, I'm not sure it gave me goosebumps. It's like a sudden realisation that everything in the world became possible…well…maybe not at that time, but it was the beginning of realising that. Now looking back at then and now, I guess it wasn't the wrong decision to make. I mean…of course, there is a price to everything…Karmic Law sees to that, but being amoral about your decisions doesn't mean it can't be ethically justified or so I was taught to understand. Plus I felt the freedom of having so much more choices…so much more options to choose from.
I guess lesson learnt, everyone has choices…doesn't matter how or what, what matters is that are we able to see them or not. That's at least a start of something…the infinite possibilities of infinite decisions. Where nothing is impossible and everything is reachable. Depends on how willing you are to reach your goals or not. I guess that's all to say then. Ooooh, inspirational goosebumps on my arm…nice.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. – Sung Ah Yim picked her first LPGA Tour victory in the most unlikely way possible: a final-round collapse by Annika Sorenstam that allowed the 22-year-old South Korean to win by two strokes Sunday.
After three straight rounds in the 60s gave Sorenstam the lead going to the final day of the Florida's Natural Charity Championship, she slumped to a 3-over 75 that left her in a three-way tie for second with Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr.
"It was not a very good day for me," Sorenstam said. "I didn't play well at all. I just want to forget about this day as quickly as possible."
Yim, in just her second year on the tour, played in the final group with Sorenstam. Amazingly, the part-time university student was the one who held it together at the end, scrambling for a 72 that was good enough to win. She got up and down from the fringe on three straight holes before knocking in a short birdie putt at the par-5 18th to finish at 16-under 272.
Sorenstam was seeking her second straight win at Eagle's Landing Country Club near Atlanta and the 68th LPGA Tour victory of her Hall of Fame victory. She was tied for the lead heading to No. 17, but she knocked her tee shot out of bounds along the right side of the fairway.
After teeing off again, Sorenstam nearly pulled off a remarkable save, putting her fourth shot within 5 feet of the flag. But her putt slid by the hole – one of a half-dozen attempts she missed from that range – for a double bogey.
Yim went to the final hole knowing that a par would probably be good enough to win. She laid up with her second shot, then stuck a wedge right alongside the flag. Sorenstam had a shot at eagle, but her chip from the second cut behind the green slid past the left edge of the cup.
That took the pressure off Yim, who rolled in a 4-foot birdie putt to win.
Countrywoman Hee-Won Han, who finished three shots back, ran onto the green and doused Yim with two cans of Coke. Yim then slung her ball into the fans sitting on the grassy bank surrounding the green – a little too hard, as it turned out.
Several fans ducked to avoid getting hit, and Yim let out an embarrassed grin. Clearly, she still needs to work on her victory celebration, which isn't surprising since she had never finished higher than third until this week.
Sorenstam was the clear favorite heading into the final day. She won this tournament by a record 10 strokes a year ago, and was ahead of Yim by one shot after putting up a 64 on Saturday.
No one else was within five strokes of the lead.
"Sometimes, it doesn't go your way," moaned Sorenstam, who hasn't had to say that often. "I hit a few bad shots, a few bad putts, and it just accumulated. Fortunately for me, I'm playing next week. I've got to forget about this as soon as I can."
Kerr closed with a 69, and Webb shot a 70.

SMPS CPA Holiday Party
Come CONNECT with your friends at SMPS Central PA! What better way to unwind after the holiday season than to join your SMPS Central PA friends and colleagues for an evening of fun at Dave and Busters? Join us on Wednesday, January 9 for a post-holiday
February 2018
President's Message
Hello, and welcome to February! Do you have cabin fever yet? Are you counting down the days until spring? Would you like to hop on a plane to somewhere (anywhere!) warm? Every year I say to myself, "How can February be the shortest month of the year when it seems to drag on forever?" Well, all I can say is hang in there – we'll get through this together! We just need to think positive thoughts and focus on the good things about February – like Valentine's Day!
No, I'm not going to get all sappy and talk about red roses and chocolate candies for your sweetheart. But in keeping with the theme of love, I thought I'd pose two questions: Do you do what you love, or do you love what you do? Let that sink in for a moment, and then read the question again. Do you do what you love, or love what you do? They may sound like the same question, but there is a difference. Doing what you love is all about finding a career that fills you with passion. It's like the quote from Confucius: "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." Easier said than done, right?! We all have dream jobs – astronaut, photographer, zoologist – but are they realistic? Probably not. Doing what you love (i.e., finding a career that fulfills a need) is not easy. But loving what you do, well that's a different story. With a little bit of work, and a shift in attitude, loving what you do is probably much more realistic.
How can we, as marketers, love what we do? Research shows that great work is produced when people focus on doing something others love. Its starts with asking the question, "What difference can I make that other people will love?" If we focus on making a difference that someone else would love, rather than the actual work we're performing, loving what we do will come much easier. Think about a big proposal you just worked on. You probably experienced things like poor communication, missed deadlines, and last-minute changes. When you look at it that way, it's easy to see why loving what you do can be a challenge. But if you stop and think about how your work on this proposal impacts others – your coworkers, your teaming partners, and even your clients – you'll start to think about the value you bring in a new and different way.
Loving your job is one thing—the activities and responsibilities you have on a day-to day basis. But loving the impact your job has on someone else is another. TRANSFORM your thinking!

SMPS Central PA DVD Library
Attention CPSMers!
All those late nights reading the Marketing Handbook/MARKENDIUM and taking sample exams before work have paid off. You passed the Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) exam and added those coveted CPSM initials after your name on your business cards and email tagline. Yippee! You are set for three years until you have to renew the certification. Three years to earn 50 continuing education unit (CEU) credits to maintain that CPSM status. Piece of cake, right?
But, it is amazing how fast those three years fly by. Even if you attend many of the SMPS Central PA educational events, you typically only earn one CEU credit per event. So, what is that, maybe 10 CEU credits a year? You could go to an SMPS regional or national conference and earn CEUs. Sure, that helps. But attending the national SMPS Build Business conference only earns you 10-12 CEUs.
We have a solution to your 50 CEU credits dilemma. Earn CEUs by watching the DVDs in our DVD Library. All you have to do is watch one of the DVDs, have a third party (your boss or subordinate) verify that you watched the DVD, and then forward the CEU form that comes with each DVD to SMPS National for credit. Each DVD in our collection earns you 1.5 CEUs. So, make this the summer of CEUs and start earning now! To borrow a DVD, just email email@example.com. Available titles include:

Don't worry; I will be putting something original on here soon, just as soon as I've had a chance to do some editing of one or two stories. Just for now though, one more entry from this family of short tales.
Entering the nocturnal exhibit means descending a flight of stairs into a Stygian black corridor, where daylight does not penetrate. Only backlit signs and lettering break up the darkness in between the enclosures. This is a forbidding and unpredictable realm, where wonder may drift into awe, then then may seep into apprehension or even shatter into terror.
Here, fennec foxes slink nervously from their burrows. Pale, ghostly cave fish drift around in their tank, lacking eyes due to generations of their kind being cut off from the sun. Lorises cower behind branches in their enclosure, their wide eyes drinking in the darkness. Inquisitive brown rats scamper forward to peer back at the humans visiting their enclosure. The bats, of course, are perfectly at home in the dark, gliding through it as if they flew beneath golden sunshine.

I finally read through my first crochet pattern and understood it! It helps now that I've learned most of the basic abbreviations, but the way crochet patterns are written has a completely foreign feel to one used to reading knitting patterns.
Here's what the difference felt like to me, illustrated by instruction on getting up and going to work:
Knitting - Get up when the alarm goes off. Shower and get dressed. Eat some breakfast, then gather everything you need for the day. Get in the car and drive to work.
Crochet - Pull the blankets off and get out of bed by putting both feet on the floor. Turn the shower on to a warm temperature, and wash you hair and body thoroughly. Make some coffee and toast, cut up some fruit, and wash your dishes after you eat. Find your briefcase, keys, and cell phone, along with anything else you need. Lock your door, get in the car, put on your seatbelt and drive to work.
The difference of course stems from the different ways knitting and crochet create fabric. Knitting is very linear, fairly straightforward, binary. Crochet is more quantum, like coral growing into a reef. Not to say one is better than the other, and not that knitting can't become more quantum, just as crochet has its linear moments.
The pattern that I chose as my first real crochet pattern is the Peace Sign Granny Square. Being a hippie, I thought this motif was adorable and I HAD to have a peace sign granny square blanket. The blanket might be a long time coming with this yarn drought I'm having, but I do have enough yarn to start making a few squares. It'll make for good practice.
Anyway, I just recently knit a peace sign washcloth, and the differences between how the two patterns are written is astounding. The knit cloth is 53 rows of such as "K5, P1, K4, P3" and so on indicating where to switch between knit and purl. Despite each row being different, the directions for each are short, and all fit into a single line in my tiny little notebook. If it was for color work, it'd be even simpler, something like "Knit with color A for 22 stitch, switch to color B for 10" or something like that. The granny square on the other hand has only 9 rounds but each round contains a multitude of directions and take up several lines each in my notebook. Fortunately I'm adjusting to the culture shock quite nicely.
Tangent: I really love copying patterns by hand into my notebook (excluding charts of course). Obviously it gives me a chance to really go over the pattern and make sure there are no tricky spots to watch out for, special techniques I might need to study or brush up on, or special materials that I might need to acquire. But more than that, writing out the pattern by hand allows me to mentally knit it as I write. Because the mind does not know the difference between an experience you're having and the memory of an experience, mentally knitting an item before I actually do it makes it so much easier. Of course I can make this ridiculously tricky item, I've already made it before! Or so my mind thinks, but since there is no physical evidence of said mental trick, I still get all the novelty of making something new despite having already made it in my head.
Now where has my hook scampered off to? I've got some groovy squares to make!
Sometimes it seems like life and enlightenment are one big tangled skein of yarn waiting for patient fingers to smooth it out, unsnarl all the knots, and lovingly wind it into a ball. Read about my journey through knitting and my crazy life as I work through my tangles of fiber.

Those squares are really funky, I like them I think I should learn to crochet now so I can make themReplyDelete
ehehehehehehe, you're becoming a person who writes about being a hooker. and fantasizes about it...and blogs about it.ReplyDelete
i love you.
Who can't smile at peace? When you copy the pattern into your notebook, do you mean by hand onto lined paper? You do this all the time? What patience you have.ReplyDelete

David passed away on Wednesday, April 23, 2014. He was one of a kind. Calm, even tempered, and a deep thinker at heart, he loved to laugh and believed you should find the humor in everything. His favorite things included the music of the Rolling Stones, reading Stephen King novels, playing Texas Hold Em poker online, and going camping for vacation.
David is predeceased by his parents and a sister, and is survived by two sisters. Early in life he worked with his father in the family well drilling business. Working with his dad was always remembered as a source of pride for David. While battling with alcohol for most of his adult life, David typically worked odd jobs here and there and really enjoyed the time he spent landscaping.
He shared the last eighteen years of his life with his devoted companion, Michele Tillman. Remembering stories about David makes her smile, especially when telling the April Fools Day pranks he liked to pull on her. She also wants everyone to remember his deep compassion for others. He never turned people away who would come up in public asking for spare change. He was even concerned about the proper and most humane way to kill insects! He truly had a huge heart and will be greatly missed.

Hello stampers, how are you doing? YAY it is Saturday! I have this card to share with you today. HA HA I was addressing some envelopes the other day for a birthday card and out of my book fell these pages. I threw them away and then later in the day I saw these ragged sheets in my trash and thought to myself I should make that into a card so here it is. I did sponge around the edges but yes sirree I am a recycler LOL! Sorry I haven't blogged in a couple of days but life has been in the way in a big way. UGH!
So on my card I just stamped the Come to Bethlehem image in Soft Suede ink. I used the Peace On Earth from Merry and Type and stamped it in Cherry Cobbler. I punched it out with the Designer Label Punch. I put a Rhinestone in the star which you can't really see but I think it turned out cute for the time it took me to make it. 2 minutes. No Big Shot needed. LOL!

Telling the truth?
June 30, 2010
What exactly does that mean? Really, is there an objective truth? Where does that exist? In the mind of what? All that we as humans perceive comes through our eyes, our lens, our brains, our perspectives, and our experiences. We do not perceive an objective separate reality; all that we perceive comes in through the … More Telling the truth?

Dragon Books
by E.Nesbit
ilustrations by H.R. Millar
foreword by Ruth Stiles Gannett (of My Father's Dragon)
We got introduced to E.Nesbit after we read Edward Eager's Half Magic reviewed for Saffron Tree. Originally published in 1901, The Book of Dragons is a set of eight stories by Edith Nesbit featuring dragons of all sorts, as the title suggests.
Though imaginative and wondrous, some stories are quite tame and funny while others are rather fierce and scary. Almost all of them involve some kind of adventure, either warm and fuzzy and fun or arduous and perilous and overwhelming.
The resident dragonophile enjoyed all 8 stories and the illustrations, which are charming drawings. Uncle James, or The Purple Stranger was a top favorite, followed by The Island of the Nine Whirlpools and Ice Dragon, or Do As You Are Told.
Thanks to Project Gutenberg, the book is available via their Online Reader.

Fearsome Monsters from Myth and Fiction
A Scholastic book
Awesome illustrations in a double-page spread, with concise information about various mythological dragons from around the world, makes this a fascinating book for the young dragon-lover.
From Krak's Dragon in Poland to Orochi in Japan, Wyvern in England to Futs-Lung in China, Hatuibwari in the Solomon Islands to Ladon in the Canary Islands... each dragon is introduced to us with precise description about how to identify them - head/neck/claws/tail/wings/color, along with their history/legend and other tidbits. Even the (in)famous Hungarian Horntail (from Harry Potter), Smaug from The Hobbit, and St.George's dragon are featured in this book.
The text is simple enough, with a large full color illustration of each beast, plus an inset map of where in the world it was, and a small illustration to show its relative size compared to Man.
The Introduction states that dragon stories are dismissed by experts as myth and legends even though there are dragon encounters/drawings by notables such as Marco Polo and Leonardo da Vinci. The book adds, "In a world where it seems everything has been researched and cataloged thoroughly, the dragon remains freshly elusive."
Note: The images can be disturbing for the very young who are uninitiated in the dragon lore.

The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies series)
by Ernest Drake/Dugald Steer
"Faux Nonfiction" or "Mock Nonfiction" volumes (terms I just learned) are becoming quite the trend these days.
Much like How To Find Flower Fairies book that has been quite an obsession with the little girl for the past couple of years, this Dragonology book is becoming the latest obsession.
She believes in dragons. I think that is what matters for this book to resonate with the reader.
All the little flaps and envelopes and notes and dragon scales and little novelties are quite the rage with her now. Just as in Encyclopedia Mythologica, she loves the fold-outs and mini booklets and such. The sample dragon dust and wing membrane; the Dragon Script; the Riddles & Puzzles all add to the whole dragon experience.
Of particular fascination is the Useful Spells & Charms Section. While all of her understands that spells are ineffective in our real world, some part of her likes to indulge her imagination. First spell she'd like to try: Hong Wei Invisibility Spell. Of course, as of now, we are missing a few key ingredients to make the spell work, but, anything can happen...
Dragon Script is soon becoming the encryption code of choice, replacing the Jewel Fish of Karnak's code.
[image source: personal photo]
How to Train You Dragon by Cressida Cowell didn't make a suitable impression on the young mind as I had hoped after reading the reviews about it and bringing the first book in the series home from the library... maybe we'll give it another try down the road.

A Toggle external control can link to one or more other Toggle controls in your HAL configuration. This control allows your external control system to get and set the value of a set of linked toggle controls which can be either 0 for un-checked or 1 for checked.
Click the Processing tab to open the Processing Workspace.
Create your Processing Map, configuring the system as you want it to behave when this toggle control changes. Identify the other toggle controls that you want to link with your new external control system Toggle control.
On the Processing Workspace toolbar, click Control Systems then External Controls to open the External Control Systems dialog box.
Click the Toggle tab.
In the lower right corner of the dialog box, click the button to add a new Toggle control the list.
Customize the control name
This step is optional but recommended. Naming external controls as you create them helps tremendously when working with multiple controls. To edit the name, click the text symbol next to your new listed control, and then type the name you want in the edit box that appears. Press the Enter key or click the X on the text edit box to close the box and save the name. To cancel, press the Esc key.
If desired, change the Number for the control
This step is optional. The Halogen software selects a unique number for a control when you create it in the Control Systems dialog. You only need to change this number if your external control system requires a number different than what Halogen selected or if you just want to create your own set of numbers. Remember though, the number must be unique among all controls in the Control Systems dialog – Halogen won't let you set the same number for two controls even if they are different types.
Link the Toggle control to the other toggle controls that you identified in step 2 above. See Linking an External Control to another Control.

Picked up by Focus Features at January's Sundance Film Festival, Pariah has an opportunity to be an uncompromising portrait of an oft-unseen sect of lesbian, transgender-leaning sexuality—the black Boys Don't Cry, to speak in boxed-in terms. It's an opportunity that the film, written and directed by Dee Rees (who expands her 2007 semi-autobiographical short of the same name), only half seizes, as hard-edged subculture access and scenes of tense honesty are punctuated throughout by the grating itch of pandering convention. Scenes like an introductory visit to a strip club that blasts Khia's "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)," or a mortifying/freeing/funny first encounter with a strap-on unapologetically yank you into the confusing, wide-eyed world of half-closeted, 17-year-old Brooklynite Alike (Adepero Oduye), as well they should. But other scenes, like a poetry-reading session with a high school mentor, or a scanning of Alike's best friend's bedroom that reveals perfectly posed mens' caps and a conveniently placed GED study guide, are generically, deliberately painted, and they represent an allover inconsistency that makes the film a constant tug of war between sincere discovery and familiar, watered-down drama.
A similar conflict cripples both of the film's posters, one of which, nicknamed "Subway," is the winner of a design contest that Focus Features hosted. Though ably conveying the sense of being troublingly adrift, "Subway" and its illustrative companion see their strength and inspiration dwindle, both of them far too reminiscent of the imagery from Precious, a movie from which this thematically and superficially similar project should be doing everything in its power to distinguish itself. Already using writing as its heroine's creative escape hatch, Pariah also adopts a butterfly as its metamorphic symbol, and opts to use it in almost exactly the same way Precious did in one of its tamer one-sheets. "Subway," meanwhile, instantly calls to mind one of Precious's most popular production stills, another rendering of public transportation as a cursed vessel through the urban cage from which the butterfly must break free. "Subway" at least provides a classy and alluring expression of duality, its image of reflection set in the place where Alike trades her masculine night clothes for girly threads before returning home to her conservative mother (it also offers that handy definition, which basically doubles as its tagline).
But, then, drawing attention to duality also draws attention to the film's own creative struggle, which unfortunately lessens its impact as an important work of gay fiction. As frequently un-doctored and plucked-from-life as the sequences depicting black lesbian youth often seem, they're counteracted by such elements as Alike's connection with a feminine classmate, a relationship that initially intrigues as a modern display of gay-straight friendship, but devolves into the typical plot-serving, use-and-abuse, bi-curious fling. And as warmly idiosyncratic (and ultimately poignant) as Alike's family dynamic is shown to be, both of her parents are drawn as archaic stereotypes, especially her mother (Kim Wayans), whose conservatism may well be rampant in certain communities, but registers as an easy, antiquated way to challenge Alike's sexual and personal freedom. In a sense, the posters are highly successful, as they very accurately communicate the text, weaknesses and all. But their recycled commonality leaves you with the same dissatisfaction the film does, for although Alike's inevitable liberation from her cocoon feels deserved and hard-won, it doesn't feel special.

The War Game remains Watkins's best-known film, perhaps because it affected public discussion to such an extent that despite being banned by the BBC it won an Oscar and placed the director in an international forum. Thankfully, his other work is now being released on DVD by New Yorker Video, where it will hopefully find a larger audience. The War Game is accompanied on DVD by his earlier film Culloden. This no less extraordinary recreation of the final battle between the Jacobite Scottish Highlanders and the English Army on Culloden Moor during the 18th century pretends that documentary film crews could cover the battle on the front lines, with a motion picture camera and sound. The camera picks up the seared, scared faces on both sides of the battle, and its depiction of men killing men and cannons firing across fields has no glory. Instead, it is a slow, sickening vision of ethnic cleansing, and the way men have to shut off parts of their minds in order to commit horrible acts. It takes all of the romance out of historical battles, and creates an analogy between then and now. Is the war about so-called freedom, or for land and money? Watkins continually questions why wars are fought, and what the soldiers believe, and what the authorities say, and whether these things add up. By digging under the surface, Watkins sees the lies perpetuated in history, and how they reveal the lies we face right now.

Whatever happens today, UKIP is breaking new ground
UKIP's astonishing and sustained surge should not be written off as splitting the Tory vote – it is the emergence of a new political force
If you were to listen to the narrow media narrative, UKIP is a party that should be dead in the water in Rotherham. A safe Labour seat in Yorkshire is hardly where masses of tweed-sporting rural Eurosceptic Tories reside.
For many years those within UKIP have bellowed that yes, we have ex-Labour supporters, trade unionists, and many working class members amongst our ranks. I have heard some senior journalists unable to fathom how the party could possibly have a scouser from Bootle, one of the most deprived areas of the UK, as Deputy Leader.
As it happens, UKIP's candidate for Rotherham Jane Collins (who also finished second in Barnsley) comes from a mining family and, as UKIP's first potential MP, is a very good embodiment of how diverse the make-up of UKIP is internally.
The truth is that UKIP is not the single issue, Tory-lite party that many caricature it as. It would be far easier for the political establishment if that was true and the party appealed to only a certain type of voter in the way that say, the Green Party does.
UKIP is however far more dangerous and electorally resilient than that because it can appeal to voters in Rotherham, Hull, and Dudley as well as to those in the Home Counties, East Anglia, and Wales. Nigel Farage put it best when he told me that there isn't a town or street that a UKIP campaigner cannot win support on – there are no 'no-go areas' as there are for the old tribal parties.
Coming second in a place like Barnsley, as UKIP did last year, demonstrates that the UKIP message in Labour strongholds can be far more appealing than what the Tories or LibDems can offer. A campaign based on limiting migration, allowing landlords to choose whether drinkers can smoke in their pubs, and the restoration of grammar schools to rebuild social mobility all resonates with people in deprived areas as much if not more than those in traditional Conservative heartlands. It is these people in particular who suffer the consequences of mass migration into Britain: less jobs, more youth unemployment, and towns and cities that can quickly become 'ghettoised'.
The fact is that come the next General Election UKIP will more than likely have a candidate in every single seat across England, Wales, Scotland, and possibly even Northern Ireland where the party now has an MLA. The party's astonishing and sustained surge should not be written off as splitting the Tory vote – it is the emergence of a new political force, not a temporary splinter group.

I'm sitting in a cafe in Battambang, Cambodia, reflecting on the first 9 days of my holidays. Cambodia has definitely tested me on this trip, but it has also rewarded me. Let's start at the beginning....
I jumped in the car with my wonderful partner, my luggage, and a sense of anticipation, for the one hour drive to the train station. "Have you got your money" he asked. "Yes" I replied, reaching into my bag to double check. "Have you got sunscreen, your phone, power cords, chargers?" The conversation went on in this vein for some time. "It's too late now, we're already on the way" I thought, but I appreciated his interest. As we arrived at the train station and I jumped out of the car, I said "Oh, by the way honey, I've also got my plane tickets and my passport, in case you were wondering". He had forgotten to check arguably the two most important things! Bless him.
Three hours on a train, and I finally arrived at Sydney international airport where I checked in for my flight and proceeded to effectively waste three hours before I had to board the plane for an eight hour flight to Kuala Lumpur. I have discovered I love to fly at night as the plane tends to be less full and you have more room to stretch out. I totally lucked out this time, getting a centre row of five seats all to myself! Thank you Malaysia airlines.
The next stumbling block was a six and a half hour lay over in Kuala Lumpur from 3am. Nothing was open, I had forgotten to book a room at the transit hotel, the internet was sporadic at best, and I was exhausted. From 3 to 6am, when I was finally able to get a coffee, was the longest three hours ever.
By 4am, the airport was starting to look like something from a zombie movie, with shutters down on all the shops, silent airport security people wandering around, and all the travellers, aimlessly walking or sprawled on chairs and looking half dead.
Finally, it was time to board my onward flight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Just less than 2 hours in the air and I had finally reached my destination. As I walked out of the airport, I was immediately hit with a wall of heat, noise, and pollution, and I loved it. Ahhhh, I breathed, I'm back in Cambodia.

About BroadBand Communities FTTH Top 100
Building a Fiber-Connected World" is the tagline of Broadband Communities magazine, and each year the FTTH Top 100 list recognizes organizations that are leading the way in this arena.
When the Top 100 list was started, more than a decade ago, the fiber-to-the-home industry was new. The list included nearly every broadband-related company that was even thinking about fiber, some that planned to start thinking about it soon, and some that specialized in other broadband technologies entirely. Over the years, the list became increasingly focused on fiber broadband. Even as FTTH electronics became commoditized and the number of companies making this equipment dwindled, the FTTH ecosystem became more complex, and the industry as a whole grew rapidly.
