Call Me A Rebel (Or, My Life As A Novella-ist)
I know that this website is hosted by SFNovelists. I know that, by definition, we focus on novels around here, on full-length speculative fiction. And for all of my writing career, I've been a novelist.
But last month, I branched out a little bit. I published my first novella, Capitol Magic.
This wasn't my first short fiction. I have published two — count 'em, two — short stories. (Staying true to form, I expanded one of those into Darkbeast, the novel that will be out, as by Morgan Keyes, in late August.)
So, why did this leopard change her spots?
Quite frankly — I wanted to help readers find my novels. Capitol Magic is set in Washington, D.C., a version of our nation's capitol where magic actually works. I laid the groundwork for this version of my hometown in the Jane Madison Series, my novels about a librarian who finds out that she's a witch. I built further on those foundations in Fright Court, a novel about lawyers, vampires, and cupcakes.
So, it seemed completely reasonable to bring together witchy Jane and vampire-ish (but not a vampire!) Sarah in Capitol Magic. I could have written a full-length novel. I could have relied on supporting characters, and sub-plots, and sprawling tales of midnight derring-do.
But, instead, I wanted to focus on characters, on the quirky lives of two specific women. But they have a lot of quirks. There were a lot of details to fit into the story, so that readers would recognize Jane and Sarah. There were too many bits and pieces to fold into a short story.
And so the answer became clear: a novella! 25,000 words to flesh out a story, to set up an actual plot, to let the heroines shine in their unique ways. Perfect!
So far, Capitol Magic seems to be finding its audience. It has enjoyed various slots in the relevant Top 100 list on Amazon since the day it was issued. Some readers have come to the novella through their love of the Jane Madison Series; others have approached from the vampire side of the fence.
Years ago, conventional wisdom for breaking into speculative fiction was "write short work, find your audience, then write a novel." That wisdom has been broken for a long time (in my not quite humble opinion). There just aren't enough venues for good short fiction, and those that exist don't pay anything approaching a professional rate. By the time I was coming up, I wasn't deemed a freak for avoiding the short fiction ladder. I'm amused, though, that I've "broken into" short fiction at this relatively late date in my writing career.
So? How about you? If you're a writer, do you write short and long? If you're a reader, do you read at multiple lengths? Why? Or why not?

Hi, Mindy!
Funny you should mention it! I rarely write anything shorter than 90,000 words, but I did just publish an alternate-world fantasy novella called Where Magic Rules, also as an ebook only. I didn't intend it to be a novella; it just came out that way. I am experimenting with the Kindle Select platform so that I can make the novella free from time to time.
I love your new cover– you have cupcakes! Looks like the book is doing really well– at least the ratings looked great in the Kindle store when I bought it just now.
I'm glad digital publishing is freeing up "books" like this!

I write both long and short…now. But until I'd written the entire Paks trilogy, I could not write short stories (they all grew into long, longer, and finally *that long* stories.) Long comes easily to me–natural novelist. Short sometimes falls into my lap and sometimes can be crafted by lopping off the arms and legs of an idea that wants to be a novel, leaving only heart and lungs and maybe a brain. When I intend to write short, the story usually bulges up (requiring that drastic surgery) or goes way off track or (worst case) becomes a cardboard cutout story, suitable only for shadow theater.
However–I did write and sell short pieces for two years before the first novel sold (it was written, but being rejected by publishers.) That was back in the '80s, when the short fiction market was stronger.
I read novels more than short fiction (and nonfiction more than either.) Read a lot of short fiction when I was a kid (much of it in the magazines that then filled the stands–not genre, but general interest) and younger adult (mostly genre, up to maybe age 25, in anthologies & genre mags) and then found that most short fiction just didn't satisfy me. A story was the reading equivalent of eating one potato chip. Sometimes I want a potato chip (but then I want a whole bag full) but not as satisfying as braised short ribs done with garlic, onions, mushrooms, red wine, and the right herbs and spices, two or three side dishes, the loaf of crusty bread, and apples & cheese after.

I'm rather fond of novellas. There are two in my short story collection for a start.

Vox Teneo, today, consists of more than 100 employees and as many skills, in 4 countries.
Our value is not based on machines, neither on products nor on equipment. The core of Vox Teneo, its strengths are the people.
The core of Vox Teneo, its strengths are the people.
In its core our business is knowledge, creativity and ingenuity. The point is to combine those individual qualities and skills into a coordinated system, where everyone finds his or her place.
This is the real challenge.
To meet this challenge, I believe in "collaborative leadership" and not in "management".
"Collaborative leadership" is the innovative concept of "horizontal management". This horizontal structure consists of considering the manager's role as a facilitator who accompanies the team. The leader listens, supports and does not command.
The leader listens, supports and does not command.
This model is in opposition to the traditional, vertical structure of companies. This traditional hierarchical organization is a source of division and frustration. Especially for new generations, eager for initiatives and flexibility where everyone's wish is to become an actor of a collective success.
For customers, the horizontal structure offers the advantage of responsiveness and commitment to the result. Two requirements that have become essential today.
However, to promote at each level initiative, creativity, the courage to propose, at every level, one cannot only listen to managers. We have to provide everyone with the chance to take the place that one deserves.
In "meritocracy", one is recognized for the value that one brings.
It goes without saying that some responsibility sharing must be predefined. The people in charge are less "managers" and more "leaders" who channel and organize. They should be the ones listening to each and employee's ideas.
This form of collaboration requires intense and transparent communication, and can sometimes be a source of frustration or a misunderstanding.
This collaborative leadership is based on the permanent exchange of different, geographically distant points of view. Exchanges that, to remain effective, must quickly lead to consensus.
Meritocracy requires investment. One who is not proactive, who wishes to be only "present" without contribution to the project may not find one's place.
The value of effort and commitment is a prerequisite.
One who is not proactive, who wishes to be only present without contribution to the project may not find one's place.
Humanity comes first for the team and our collaborators, but also for our customers, partners and associates.
All our meetings are opportunities to succeed in a new challenge, in a new project.
While many of our collaborations have led to some fabulous successes, some have also been a source of great disappointment … due to disproportionate hopes? lack of discernment? or naive trust?
In 16 years, Vox Teneo has grown from its successes and especially from its failures but we will not change our course of action: we will continue to offer our trust, our potential, without concession because in our opinion, this is the only way, humanely committed, to carry out challenges impossible to achieve alone.

Title: Flirting in Florence (Summer Flings, #6)
Author: Aimee Duffy
Pages: 40 Pages
Publisher: Harper Impulse
The Blurb
Part 6 of Summer Flings – a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories.
Instead of hitting the designer shops with her friends, Ciara's all about proving Florence can be enjoyed on a budget – and she isn't talking about the sexy Italians Elle and Gem pick up for the duration!
One-on-one with Zack is getting too intense so she plans a grape squishing trip to a vineyard hoping to leave her problems back in the city. Of course her doomed affair is the least of her worries when her friendship with his cousin in on the line.
The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!
The Review
Things are falling apart in Florence. Ciara has tried to teach Zack that he can live life on a budget, that he can follow his own dream without the financial backing of his family.
But things have fallen apart and Ciara has gotten scared of the future. It is all going a bit cattywampus.
In the sixth instalment of the Summer Flings series we see the friendship base between Gem, Ciara and Elle fall apart along with Ciaira and Zack's relationship. Florence sounds lovely but this leg of the holiday does not.
Let's hope it all gets resolved in the seventh and final part of the Summer Flings series because Flirting in Florence left me with a stomach ache from worrying.
Flirting in Florence (Summer Flings, #6) by Aimee Duffy is available now.

Crappy Fanfic
By Sonicblade
The Nightfic
By Nightsong
This little program's got to be the most hilarious thing on earth. What is it, you ask? I'll attempt to explain. Basically, what this program does is open a small window on your computer, loaded with a bunch of images (which you won't be able to see right off, of course). Then you open one of the files made for the program, and voila! What you get is something akin to the text screens in Lunar 2... I'm explaining this rather poorly. You'll just have to see for yourself. While you might not get every joke made in these (see, the FFAF people have inserted themselves in place of the actual Lunar characters...), I bet you'll still find it pretty funny.
Oh, and Lavos Core (and now Paul Nathans, who gets smited pretty badly in the latest part... or some such word as that) makes a cameo in mine, so check 'em out... *coughs hard*
To speak technically for a moment... due to the fact that this program uploads over 200 images at once upon opening, it takes about 45 seconds to open on a Pentium 133 processor, and about 17 on a Pentium II or higher.
|The Lunar characters are copyright to Game Arts, and any and all other companies that have rights to them. I don't make a cent off of this program, nor do I ever intend to. I just do this because it's incredibly funny.

"I'm going out for a run, probably up to Post. I'll be back… after midnight, probably after 1," I said to my wife, as I laced up my shoes. I'd been making noise about going for a longer run, since it was the Thursday night starting a long weekend, and really, I didn't think my wife was listening to me. We'd just finished dinner, there was still plenty of summer sunlight, I had a good full belly, and was feeling strong. "Uh huh," she said, "yeah." Followed by, "Wait, what?"
Hiking / Oahu
Tripler Ridge to Haʻikū Stairs
What's not to love about a mid-week hike up a Hawaiian mountain ridge, across treacherous and perilous cliff faces, to a WWII era communications site and the almost-4000 rickety stairs that take you down a seriously steep cliff to the valley below? My good fortune this week was to do just such a hike, and I loved every minute of it.

Running in 2010: How I got here
I spent 2009 in Iraq. I ran some during the first part of the year, but not enough, and certainly not many long runs. As the mid point of the year approached, and as I got ready to return home to my family in Hawaii, I decided that I'd crank up my miles to the point where I'd be able to run a half-marathon without dying. My R&R arrived, I flew to Hawaii, and while there, I did some running. But after my R&R, I returned to Iraq and a new, very stressful job. Long hours, crazy hours. So,

I suppose I've always been known for having some crazy ideas. This, though, is probably pretty high up on the list of craziest things I've done. Over 30 calendar days, I just ran 300 miles. I didn't run 300 miles in 30 days — I actually did it in just 26 days. But we'll get to that. I'm not really sure where this idea came from. Last month, I was in Baghdad for a 10 day visit, and while there I ran about 66 miles on 5 runs. That seemed like a lot of running to me — my

I was going to use the title, 2010 Honolulu Triathlon: You're Doing It Wrong, but I was worried that some would miss the sarcasm that is so deeply embedded into a comment like that. So, before I tell you the story, let me tell you the background. There are a few things that relate to this. 1. I've never done a triathlon. Back in 2005, I wasn't running. I was broken, and I was also in the middle of a giant pity-party because PTSD was kicking my ass. The Army patched me up some, and by 2006 I was

I've had a big week of running. This is a big year of running for me, a year when I'm averaging a hair under 40 miles of running per week. This week, I ran almost 65. 65 miles. I had no plans to run anything close to that I figured it was going to be just another week, a week of probably running 40 miles. I started the week off with a 3 hours run through the hills on the Aiea Loop, a run that might have been 11 miles long, or maybe a bit more. But Monday morning,

The quiet month, in review
I've run up hills, through the jungle, and across pineapple fields this month. The stress of being back from Iraq would surely be taking more of a toll on me if I wasn't running for distance, and if I wasn't enjoying my time of solitude.

Top Winter Survival Tools and Tactics
In keeping with all the recent press and concerns about safety this winter, I thought it high-time I shared my thoughts about winter survival this year. 1. Dress appropriately. Good grief, Charlie Brown — so many terrible accidents could be prevented if people would just learn to dress appropriately for the conditions. That shirt can come off it's too hot, and with that color, it can be left just about anywhere on this island and it will be perfectly camouflaged — perfect for stashing and retrieving later.

PLC Paper No. CB(2)132
(These minutes have been seen
by the Administration and cleared
with the Chairman)
Ref : CB2/BC/47/95
Members Present :
Members Absent :
Public Officers Attending :
Clerk in Attendance :
Staff in Attendance :
In response to Mrs Selina CHOWs enquiry, the Chairman recapitulated the 2 sets of view of the Bills Committee on the revised constitution of the Costs Committee. Mrs CHOW then commented that it was unfair if solicitors could not occupy half of the membership of the Costs Committee as it was to determine their charges. Mr Philip WONG shared her view. In this connection, Miss Margaret NG asked and Mr ALLCOCK explained that the quorum of the Costs Committee should be the chairman and two members according to section 74(2) of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance (Cap. 159). According to the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 1), the decision of a committee could be taken by a simple majority and the chairman would have a casting vote.
2. Mr R ALLCOCK informed members that the Costs Committee had met to discuss the proposals submitted by the Law Society of Hong Kong (the Law Society) on scale fees in respect of conveyancing but approval of the Chief Justice had yet to be sought. In this connection, Legal Adviser advised that the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 1) provided that the LegCo had 28 days to scrutinize the rules to be made by the Costs Committee in the form of subsidiary legislation. Since LegCo could extend the scrutiny period to the next sitting by a resolution, these rules had to be gazetted on 16 May 1997 in order to be laid on the table of LegCo on 21 May 1997 in order that LegCo would have the full period of consideration as provided by Cap. 1. In view of the fact that the proposals submitted by the Law Society would not be able to meet the normal legislative schedule, Mrs Miriam LAU asked and Legal Adviser pointed out that as a matter of legislative procedures, it would be in order for subsidiary legislation to be amended in the form of a bill. It would also be a workable option and within the ambit of the Bill, by moving a Committee stage amendment to the Bill, as the scale fees in conveyancing was part of the Bill. However, Legal Adviser cautioned that members had to consider the way forward carefully as there should be good justification for the LegCo to bypass the existing legislative mechanism, i.e. the rule making power of the Costs Committee, even though LegCo had the power to do so. In this connection, Miss Margaret NG expressed concern that the LegCo could intervene with solicitor fees in such a direct manner.
3. Mr Andrew CHENG was concerned that it might give a confusing message to the public if the Bills Committee had made a decision to abolish scale fees and the Costs Committee subsequently announced a new scale of conveyancing fees. He therefore remarked that it might be better for the Bills Committee to wait for the decision of the Costs Committee before deciding on the abolition of scale fees. However, the Chairman opined that the Bills Committee should consider whether scale fees should be abolished as a matter of principle. Ms Emily LAU was of the view that the Bills Committee could wait so long as time allowed since the level of scale fees to be determined by the Costs Committee might be a factor for members to consider. In this regard, Miss Margaret NG cautioned that the Costs Committee which had the knowledge and expertise would have gone through detailed discussion in determining a fair and reasonable charge. Members should not simply go for the cheapest charges. In this regard, the Chairman asked the Clerk to seek information from the Costs Committee regarding the progress of the proposals submitted by the Law Society on scale fees in respect of conveyancing. Miss NG suggested that the Clerk should also explain the importance of the time factor in the letter to the Costs Committee.
4. Miss Margaret NG asked and Mr ALLCOCK explained that Rule 5 of the Solicitors (General) Costs Rules would apply to conveyancing fees on the basis of a fair and reasonable principle if scale fees were to be abolished. Miss NG further asked whether the Administration had considered the possibility of a sudden increase in the number of disputes. Mr ALLCOCK responded that fewer disputes might occur if scale fees were abolished because it would give the consumers more freedom in reaching agreement with solicitors by negotiation in respect of conveyancing fees.
5. The Chairman then invited members to express views on abolition of scale fees. There were 3 sets of views among members, namely: (a) support abolition; (b) against abolition; and (c) no position taken, depending on the decision of the Costs Committee on the Law Societys proposals. Dr Philip WONG said that he did not support abolition of scale fees because the position of the legal profession in respect of their charges should be respected. Mrs Miriam LAU said that the Liberal Party did not support the abolition of scale fees as a matter of principle as it should be a matter for the Costs Committee to decide. Mrs Selina CHOW added that, from a consumers point of view, she opposed the Administrations proposal at the present stage as it might not be beneficial to the consumer interests. She cautioned that careful consideration was needed to change a system which had been in existence for years, particularly when it would mean a fundamental change to the legal profession. Mr IP Kwok-him informed members that the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, after having regard to the consumer interests, preferred to retain scale fees but the levels of the scale should be re-considered. Mr Ambrose LAU said that the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance did not support abolition of scale fees on the grounds that: (a) it would create confusion in the market; (b) the quality of legal services could not be guaranteed; and (c) the Costs Committee should be entrusted to make the decision in respect of conveyancing fees as LegCo would have the negative vetting power on the matter. Mr Bruce LIU informed members that the Association for Democracy and Peoples Livelihood had not yet formulated its position, pending the decision of the Costs Committee. However, its decision would be based on 3 factors of consideration, namely: (a) to avoid confusion; (b) to ease public dissatisfaction with the existing scale fees; and (b) to introduce an element of competition into the market. Mr Andrew CHENG said that the Democratic Party supported the Administrations proposal to abolish scale fees although it would give due regard to the opinion of the Costs Committee if time was permissible. Ms Emily LAU said that she supported the Administrations proposal in principle in the light that competition would give benefit to consumers. Miss Margaret NG cautioned that the Administrations proposal would have far-reaching impact which warranted careful consideration and sufficient justification. She clarified that non-acceptance of the proposal did not mean that scale fees must be retained forever as a well-established land title registration system might enable solicitors to charge conveyancing fees at a low and fixed level. However, it was important to give due regard to public interest and the integrity of the legal profession.
6. In the light that many members present tended to favour retaining the scale fees, the Chairman asked and Mr ALLCOCK undertook to inform members of the Administrations position in due course, after having reflected on members views.
7. As the Secretary for Housing had indicated in his letter dated 25 March 1997 which had been issued vide LegCo Paper No. CB(2) 1699/96-97 that the Executive Committee of the Hong Kong Housing Society would need to determine whether the legal costs should be recovered from the purchaser or borne by the Housing Society if clause 18 was enacted. Miss Margaret NG asked and the Chairman said that the Bills Committee had not received any further information on the matter. In this connection, Mr ALLCOCK informed members that he had contacted the Housing Authority which supported the provision in the Bill but it had not yet made any decision on how to deal with the question of legal costs. In response to Miss NGs further enquiry, Mr ALLCOCK explained that the prices of the properties of the Housing Authority were not fixed by market value and it was therefore an option for the Housing Authority to increase the property prices in order to cover the costs. Mrs Selina CHOW expressed concern that the burden would be shifted to the consumers. She therefore remarked that it should be a matter for the Housing Panel to discuss.
8. Mr ALLCOCK then proceeded to brief members on the paper relating to clause 18 of the Bill which was attached to his letter dated 3 April 1997 (issued vide LegCo Paper No. CB(2) 1718/96-97). Mr Ambrose LAU queried from a consumers viewpoint, whether the Administrations proposal would benefit the consumers since invalidation of contractual provisions requiring the purchaser to pay the vendors legal costs was limited to project conveyancing and the vendor could always include the legal costs in the selling prices. Dr Philip WONG shared his view. He opined that it was a matter for individual consumers to choose. Mrs Miriam LAU cautioned that the amount of stamp duty payable would increase correspondingly to the selling prices. Mrs Selina CHOW said that the principle of freedom of contract was extremely important that it should not be subjected to any restriction unless there was overwhelming justification to do so. She therefore could not support the Administrations proposal. Mr Andrew CHENG said that the Democratic Party supported the Administrations proposal in view of the importance of having separate representation for consumer interests. In addition, vendors had to give regard to the market situation and thus might not be able to push up the prices as they wished. Ms Emily LAU shared the same view. Miss Margaret NG remarked that the decision of having joint or separate representation ultimately rested with the consumers, having regard to the desirability of separate representation versus the time involved etc.. She reminded members that the Law Society had put forward a new proposal excluding the disincentive for separate representation in conveyancing. Miss NG therefore did not support any mandatory provision on the matter which should be left to the consumers to decide. Mr Bruce LIU said that the Association for Democracy and Peoples Livelihood did not support the Administrations proposal because it was more important for consumers to understand their right to separate representation. It was not necessary to stipulate the invalidation in the legislation. However, Mr LIU pointed out that magnitude of the proposed reduction in legal costs for conveyancing put forward by the Law Society was not sufficient. In this connection, Mr IP Kwok-him informed members that the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong had not yet formulated its stance on the matter.
9. In response to members views, Mr ALLCOCK stressed that the Bill did not propose any mandatory provision. It only meant to ensure the availability of a choice for consumers to have separate representation so that they would not be penalized by having to pay the vendors legal costs.
10. As the Bills Committee had concluded the policy deliberation of the Bill, the Chairman asked the Clerk to prepare a summary of members views. The Chairman also asked and Mr ALLCOCK undertook: (a) to respond to all the outstanding points arising from previous meetings before 20 May 1997; and (b) to inform members of the Administrations position on the various provisions of the Bill after reflecting on members views.
11. The Chairman reminded members that the next two meetings would be held as follows:
12. There being no other business, the meeting ended at 12:10 pm.

DETROIT—A 101-year-old Detroit woman who was evicted from her foreclosed house is expected to move back home next week.
The Detroit News reports (http://bit.ly/HqbYb2) that Texana Hollis on Wednesday is expected to be back in the home where she previously lived for about 60 years.
Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom and his charity S.A.Y. Detroit are helping to renovate Hollis' house. The author's charity bought the home from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fix it up for Hollis.
Hollis was evicted Sept. 12 after her 65-year-old son failed to pay property taxes linked to a reverse mortgage and HUD foreclosed. Two days later, the department said she could return.
But that didn't happen because HUD said the home was unsanitary and unsafe.

The Philippine Army's 1st Infantry Tabak Division participated in a forum titled "Interfaith Walk for Peace and Reconciliation" held on October 11, 2017 in Barangay Poblacion, Balo-i, Lanao del Norte.
Lt. Col. Jo-ar Herrera, Assistant Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operation (G7) represented the Army as guest of honor and speaker during the event.
During the forum, community representatives from Muslims, Christians, and Lumads, particularly the various tribes, religious groups and organizations initiated a peace covenant to preserve and protect the interests of the people and promote unity to foster the culture of peace as "One Human Family Under God".
The peace covenant in a form of a resolution was signed by about 300 participants including Lanao del Norte Gov. Imelda Quibranza-Dimaporo, Vice. Gov. Ma. Cristina N. Atay, Vice Governor, 1st District Congressman Muhamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo, 2nd District Congressman Abdullah D. Dimaporo, Balo-I Mayor Datu Madid Elias L. Ali, Municipal.
"What happened in Marawi provides us an opportunity to become a better community for a better society. This forum strengthens and renews our commitment towards peace in Lanao del Norte," Lt. Col. Herrera said.
"It also sends a strong message that terrorism has no place in the land of bounty and beauty where the people bound together in love and faith as we call ourselves as ambassadors for peace," Lt. Col. Herrera said.

The world media is, all of a sudden, focussed on the middle eastern refugee problem. Given that the middle east hasn't seen a peaceful day since the 40's and that 'refugee camps' are now geographic fixtures, how could it come to pass that the world gets blindsided by 'them' shifting their focus to a walk to Europe? The last time there was such a migration, occurred in the 12th century and went in the opposite direction - the People's Crusade.
We 'knew' there were a lot of refugees - after all hasn't Assad been killing so many of his own people that the West has been 'honour-bound' to get the UN to introduce sanctions and a little humanitarian bombing? Obama almost got his wish, but Putin 'interfered' to make a deal that (maybe) stopped an 'act of Congress' from adding to the rubble that is modern Syria. The Syrians have been moving out of the line of fire since Ambassador Geoff Pyatt declared the street riot a legitimate attempt to remove a tyrannical government. That being said, the Gulf States immediately introduced a 'carte blanche' for weapons while the US called for, and trained, 'rebel forces'. Even the perennial bushwhacker John 'the Admiral' McCain flew over to glad-hand 'the heroes'. Little was anybody to know these were wolves in camo duds, more affiliated with the kind of Islamic state that hates our freedoms than the kind of guys who would 'roll over' for a golf cart and a pair of new balance sneakers for each of 'the staff'.
John was shaking hands with the devil himself - Al Baghdadi the Killer.
In less than a year Obama's militias turned into ISIS, and then ISIL. Not only did the clear Assad's forces out of eastern Syria , they launched an invasion of America's second best friend , (well, third), in Asia and drove the Iraqi government out of the northern half of the country. Then they allied themselves with the Iraqi Sunni 'insurgency ' and drove the Shiite government out of even more territory. Lately ISIS/IL is only 34 miles from Baghdad. And the 'driving-back' seems stalled, while Europe girds its 'lions' for the fray.
Needless to say between the beheadments, and the bombing campaign, anybody with an iota respectable self-preservation made tracks for the nearest neutral ground. In northern Syria that was Lebanon on the west, Turkey to the north or 'Kurdistan' to the east. Anywhere else was into the fire.
And so things remained until Turkey declared itself into the War on Terror. All of a sudden southern Turkey - where the camps were - started to look like places a refugee could get confused with a Kurd. That's right, the Turks declared a 'war on terror' and promptly attacked the Kurds. The Kurds returned the favour - inside Turkey - and the 'shivaree' was on. For refugees, all of a sudden Europe, at a distance, started to have some 'Clampett appeal'.
And so the latter-day 'descent of the Helvetii into Gaul' commenced. But these weren't Swiss they were mostly Moslem refugees and they descended via Greece and the Balkans onto south-central Europe. And there were thousands upon thousands of them - taking open boats to the Greek Islands, 'hopping' the mainland, walking through Greece and the parts of former Yugoslavia to the border of Hungary. There the EuroHans Briker stuck his finger in a Dyke and tried to stem the tide. But some broke through heading for Germany and even the Scandinavian countries. The Hungarians tried 'defending ' Europe against a tide of 'seekers' - who had actually started six months ago and had the Hungarians fencing-off their border. But this time they overwhelmed the border -a number of times. They 'hijacked' (metaphorically) the railway system in order to get to Germany. To-day we have the Austrians volunteering to man the ramparts with their old 'ally'. Holding Europe as they used to do a half a millennium ago.
Now the Euros are just like any other redneck who doesn't want to be forced into Sharia courts or to have to wear baggy pants, smoke the dope of pray eighty-five times a day - even if they do legitimize teen-aged sex slaves. They wanted to keep everybody out. But a kid drowned and a foolish photographer had his reputation made, taking a picture that mobilized the kind of sympathy rednecks save for their pets. All of a sudden there is a groundswell to stop this or take refugees in. Today another half-dozen babies drowned, and while the patriots claim they shouldn't have taken their kids into danger, they still think that bombing them only hurts 'the bad guys'. And if these people are hurting, it IS because they are 'bad guys' - in disguise! Those unpowered life rafts are the 'invasion rowboats' we've been told would bring Al Qaeda, or the Taliban, or, now, ISIS, ISIL and all the unholy killers of pandemonium.

Hardiness Zone: 10a
Thank you in advance!
W From Pasadena, CA
There are several things I don't know about your situation, so I'll do my best to speculate. Callas are native to swampy marshlands and need a lot of water, so make sure you are keeping their soil moist at all times. Morning sun and afternoon shade is the ideal, and apply a light organic fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks during the active growing period, or simply side dress them with compost or well-rotted manure in the spring. You don't mention what color callas you are growing, but yellow and pink tend to be fussier than white and can be more difficult to grow. Some calla lilies exhibit a high sensitivity to salt (brown tips). Do you soften your water or use water with a fairly high salt content? If so, try switching to distilled water and see if that makes a difference. Floppy stems are usually the result of intense heat or underdeveloped root systems. In the late summer, callas naturally die back and more into a dormant period. Depending on the growing zone, this can last about 90 days. This rest period is the best time to transplant them.
Hope this gives you some ideas!

I have 1 Calla Lilly that is in a large planter. It was given to me from a friend moving away. It sits on my back porch railing and is only getting morning sun (under open porch). In this hot South Ga. weather I water every day and use Miracle Gro Fertilizer every 7 days. My plant is I guess 2 feet tall and round. It has had the white blooms for 3 weeks now. When the blooms turn brown, I'll remove them and have seeds. This is all I have to offer now. Maybe you should consider Lg. container grown. (06/16/2006)

Dharma Teaching by Singha Thekchen Namdrol Rinpoche
A summary by Anne-Marie Wagonis
Today Rinpoche spoke about the topic of the realistic deepening of our own dharma cultivation.
"I use the term dharma cultivation as opposed to dharma practice because we ourselves are not perfect and therefore our practice cannot be considered perfect either. In using the term cultivation it means that we have to become more aware of the conditions, both internal and external. In a way, we are pruning. Our mind is not permanently stable. Everybody's mind is this way. Some days are good, some days are not. There are ups and there are downs. And we can be easily influenced by others. If we don't have grounded thoughts about a particular topic or situation we can become very easily swayed to believe whatever it is that we hear the most over and over again. This is a natural human condition of the mind and it is why Buddha taught us how to bring our mind to its Buddha-nature state ….to the mind of emptiness. But even your own mind is not real."
"We are so stuck in our own identities which are based upon our beliefs that we are human, we are a particular race, we are our particular job, etc. We believe in these identities because we have accepted them to be who we really are. We must learn to drop all of the labels. Be willing to cut, cut, cut away all of these perceptions and peel them back away. After you peel it all away you have a pure state of emptiness."
"Legally, our minds belong to us but in reality when we always feel the need to seek approval, we are letting other people own them. Do you dare to stand up and to make your own decisions? If you cannot make your own decisions in life because you are always seeking the approval of others, you will always only be half of who you are. We must cultivate ourselves in order to complete ourselves. And in our cultivation, we must also cultivate enough to give some away. As training bodhisattvas, we must learn how to give away happiness and how to stop blaming other people for what we don't have. We must come together and compromise because this is really the beginning of our own healing and our grounding. Be strong, healthy and independent. You don't need other people to complete you. Rather, you must learn to complete yourself and then share your completeness with other people."
"Begin by accepting that we are not perfect, that we each have our strengths and weaknesses; accept that we have made mistakes in the past and accept other people's apologies. Do not run away from these things because if you do, you will face the same problems everywhere else you go."
"Who are those who suffer the most? Those who believe that who and what you are is real. Those who believe that you are powerful and have special status. Those who believe that you are always going to be healthy and beautiful. Those who believe that you are totally independent and don't need anyone's help. And, lastly those who believe in all of your own stories."
"The cultivation of dharma allows our minds to become more stable and reflective, so put the effort into meditation to stabilize your mind. If you really practice correctly you will face many things that you may not want to deal with but you will have a choice. You can either walk away, shut the door and pretend that it is not there or you can light another torch; switch on some more lights so that you can really see and begin to cut through it, rearrange it and throw some things out. Categorize your mind so that the mind knows how, what, where, when and why. The most important of these is the "why". If you cannot answer your own "whys" and you continue to rely upon other people's answers, it means that you have not yet matured. Your own "why" is something only you can answer for yourself. Through this process we protect our minds with meditation, the recitation of mantras and reflection. We also surround ourselves with the right people; with those who possess the right attitudes. Always be aware of who you allow into your own inner circle."
"Remember that your best soulmate is always your Guru. If you remain close to Guru in mind, body and action, that is your best practice."
"Enjoy your life, knowing that it really does not last long. Come and experience the teachings "live" because this connection is a very important one. Experience is experience by those who have experienced the same thing. Then, there is a common language shared. Treasure it and expend it. Release your boundaries."
"Personally, I don't see myself as a dharma teacher. I see myself as my Guru's disciple. I am sharing what I can, supporting what I can and helping where I can. If people accept and appreciate this, then I am grateful. If not, I don't try to force things. If it's a real karmic condition, then it will all work out."
"The purpose of your practice is to burst your own balloon! Let the inside and the outside come together in union; let it all be the same in oneness."

Ask Colin
Has the time arrived to be different from the mob and stand aside, to ignore my fund manager's advice? (Early March 2001).
Different to the mob: The "mob" tends to be right for most of the bull market and most of the bear market. However, it tends to be wrong at turning points. In fact, psychologically, a turning point can only occur when most of them are "wrong".
Stand aside: Depends on your trading/investing plan. There is no single right answer. If your plan calls for you to be fully invested, bias your portfolio to defensive positions when market risk is high. If you have asset allocation bands, go underweight and in defensive positions when market risk is high.
Ignore advice: A fund manager is the wrong person to advise you. He is selling a product. He is not your agent. You need a financial adviser who does not sell products or take commissions. He charges a fee and continues in business for as long as he does a good job for you. Find one and pay him, or do your own analysis. I used "he" a lot for convenience. The best "he" may, of course, be a "she".

As trade credit executives, we must know who we are dealing with and be mindful of their likely exit strategy, which is often predictable through analysis of the previous deals covered in this report.
Great Neck, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Industry-leading credit consulting firm Information Clearinghouse Inc. (ICI), through its divisions F&D Reports and Creditntell, is pleased to announce the release of its "U.S. Private Equity Review," which details the state of the industry, recent key events, and the major retail holdings of close to 30 top private equity firms.
The private equity industry gained public interest during the buyout boom in the early part of the century, particularly as they began acquiring many big-name retailers. Since the credit crisis and recession, the industry has been slowly recovering; over the past five years the top 300 private equity firms raised an estimated $1.300 trillion, with the top 50 firms accounting for $700.00 billion of that total, led by TPG, the Blackstone Group, KKR, Goldman Sachs and the Carlyle Group. However, with U.S. growth still sluggish, unemployment high, and the housing market still constraining consumer confidence, funding levels remain below the high volume achieved through 2007 and another boom cycle is not expected as investors are focused on prudent acquisitions.
Though recent transactions have been light in the retail sector, a number of significant deals have closed, including mergers and acquisitions, fundraising resulting in new capital commitments, IPOs, and portfolio turnovers (exits). The report details the initial investments and subsequent events for private equity firms across several sectors, including retail and wholesale food, restaurants, mass merchandisers, drug, department stores, sporting goods, building materials, apparel, and specialty. A few of the major players examined include Sun Capital (Marsh Supermarkets, ShopKo/Pamida, Friendly's), Yucaipa (Pathmark/A&P), Leonard Green (Whole Foods, BJ's, Rite Aid), Willis Stein (Roundy's), Lone Star (BI-LO/Bruno's), KKR (US Foods, Dollar General, HCA), and Apollo (Smart & Final, Sprouts Farmers Markets).
Commenting on the "U.S. Private Equity Review" report, Lawrence Sarf, CEO of ICI, stated, "There is a tremendous amount of capital on the sidelines and a significant number of candidates for private equity investment. When the economy begins to recover from a protracted downturn, the well-capitalized businesses historically leave those with too limited financial resources behind, with stepped-up investment capturing a growing share of consumer spending. Unable to respond, these cash-poor entities fail. Spotting these situations is the job of the hedge funds and without any question they are circling today looking for opportunities. As trade credit executives, we must know who we are dealing with and be mindful of their likely exit strategy, which is often predictable through analysis of the previous deals covered in this report."
Information Clearinghouse, Inc. (publisher of F&D Reports, Creditntell, & ARMS) is a comprehensive retail credit consulting firm specializing in the analysis of public and private companies in numerous retail segments. The focus of its analysis is to deliver the key intelligence today's busy credit executive needs to make a highly informed decision without sifting through pages of non-essential data.

Kyle Lowry. Lowry had a rough game a couple nights ago against Sacramento. He was ejected in the 3rd quarter after receiving 2 technical fouls. He only played 25 minutes and his stat line (for his price) was less than impressive. Tonight Lowry has the chance to get back on his feet again as the Mavericks take a trip to Toronto for a showdown at the Air Canada Centre. Dallas isn't all that good when it comes to defending guards and with slim pickings at the PG position. I think paying for Lowry now will certainly pay off later.
Reggie Jackson. The way I see it, there's 4 real options at PG tonight. Lowry, Jackson, Conley, and Jameer Nelson. Conley concerns me because the Philly/Memphis game could easily end up in a blowout. I really like Nelson against the Lakers, however after reading that Goran Dragic is a game-time decision, I had to go with R-Jax. Jackson has been playing phenomenally as of late and actually just earned the player of the week award for the eastern conference. He's coming off of a monster 57.7 fanduel point performance and all though that was from a game that went to quadruple overtime, I still really like Jackson tonight.
DeMar DeRozen has been very consistent lately and is a player who is probably making many seasonal league owners very happy. His price is slowly climbing, and with the way he's been performing, he could easily reach the $9k mark (eventually). Go with who is hot, go DeRozen.
Will Barton is making a serious case for the sixth man of the year award. Though he comes off of the bench he is receiving starters minutes and is taking full advantage of it. After a huge 52 fanduel point performance (32 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists) against the Pelicans Sunday evening, Barton looks to continue his potential sixth man of the year ways tonight against the Lakers. (Lakers rank last in the league on defense against opposing guards)
Matt Barnes. Believe it or not Matt Barnes has found a nice role in the Grizzlies starting lineup. Memphis has been bringing Zach Randolph off the bench lately and it's definitely been working for us as fantasy players. For the most part Barnes has been consistent and getting huge minutes. At $4900, he's still a great value play. Not for too much longer though because if he remains consistent, his price will only get higher.
James Johnson. It looks like Johnson has replaced Terrence Ross who is replacing the injured DeMarre Carroll in the Raptors starting lineup. Johnson is generally a very efficient player, however he has always struggled to get the minutes. Playing 32 minutes in both of the previous two games as well as putting up 26.7 and 25.7 fanduel points. Another great value at $3900, I really like Johnson tonight especially with it looking like he has at least 30+ secured minutes.
Though Chris Bosh has been a little inconsistent as of late I still like him tonight against the Pistons. Both the Heat and the Pistons are good defensive teams. When it comes to matchups though I like Bosh's chances. With Josh McRoberts out, and Goran Dragic questionable, Bosh will have even more responsibility when he's on the floor. With minimal PF options, don't hesitate putting Bosh into your lineups.
Kenneth Faried. Anyone becomes a nice option against the Lakers. Anyone who has ever watched Faried before will tell you he is a hard worker. The Manimal will get out there and bust his a*s to grab rebounds and even do some scoring. Though his numbers may be a little inconsistent at times, he's been fairly consistent since coming back from injury.
Zaza Pachulia has quietly fit in extremely well with the Dallas Mavericks this season. Averaging a double- double, Zaza is another very consistent player. Though he most likely won't be the highest picked center tonight, Zaza will always be a double-double threat (and some).
Other good plays:
Mike Conley*
Jameer Nelson
Louis Williams
Terrence Ross
Danilo Gallinari (if he plays, currently a GTD)
Marcus Morris
Dirk Nowitzki
Andre Drummond
Marc Gasol*
*: Blowout potential. I really like both Conley and Gasol but if the game gets out of hand you could get lose these guys for at least the whole 4th quarter.

Dreamwork Introduction
Dreams influence our outer lives more than we are aware. The function of the dream is to maintain the psychic balance and further the growth of the individual. We live life fixated on the external, material world, dismissing the "dreamtime" as primitive and superstitious. Dreams are representations of our inner world. The true significance of the dream becomes clear when we realise that almost everything we do, every reaction we have, every decision we make, every relationship we form, ultimately results from our inner dynamics. The dream-content should be taken in all seriousness as something that has actually happened – and is central to our conscious outlook on life and life situations.
The dream, emerges from the unconscious and expresses itself through symbols, in an ancient, universal language, transcending all verbal language barriers.
The unconscious is described as an enormous field of energy; the conscious mind being the tip of the iceberg that rises above the surface of the water, and the unconscious being the 95% that is hidden beneath dark waters.
The symbols originate firstly from the dreamer's personal experience, referred to as the "personal unconscious", which is why it is not wise to analyse any dream without knowing the dreamer and the dreamer's circumstances as well as the dreamer's associations about the dream images. The symbols can also come from another source common to all people, what Dr Carl Jung referred to as the "collective unconscious" – to be found in myths, religions, metaphors, etc.
The images in the dream should not be taken literally but as symbols of parts of oneself. The characters in our dreams show us, in symbolic form, all the different personalities that interact within us and make up our total self. Remember that the dream communicates something that you are unaware, that challenges you, to help you grow.
Jennifer will be talking at the Phuzamoya Dreamcentre in August 2015 – More Info

ME/CFS Australia response to PACE Trial findings
Friday 4 March 2011
ME/CFS Australia has published a response to the PACE Trial findings:
Response to UK Medical Research Council's PACE Trial Findings
Putting the Study Findings into Context
On Feb 18, 2011, The Lancet published a study that compared Adaptive Pacing Therapy, (APT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) and Specialist Medical Care (SMC) for ME/CFS. The study known as the Pace Trial conducted in the UK is the world's largest, most expensive, multi-centre study conducted on one of the largest ME/CFS sample populations (n=641) at a cost of nearly $5 million pounds.
Study Conclusions
The authors state that CBT and GET can safely be added to SMC to moderately improve outcomes, but APT is not an effective addition. This is despite the fact that "no more than 30% of participants were within normal ranges for both outcomes' and 'only 41% rated themselves as much better or very much better in their overall health."
Fundamental Sample Flaws
The gold standard for any international ME/CFS research would include the use of the Canadian Criteria for sample selection. This study selected participants with the rarely used and little known Oxford and London criteria. The London criteria has never been published and has no known authors. The Oxford criteria provides a very loose operational definition for ME/CFS, and is not specific to ME/CFS the neurological condition as defined by the WHO (ICD 10 G93.3). This oversight by the study designers means that the sample under investigation is highly likely not ME/CFS specific.
It would be reasonable to expect in such an expensive and detailed study that all groups within the ME/CFS population be included. Of concern is the exclusion of a large proportion of any given ME/CFS population: i.e. all those under 18 years of age and all those with severe ME/CFS were excluded in the study. No-one in the sample had had the condition for longer than 6 years.
APT was determined least beneficial, however APT was a newly constructed therapy for this study. APT is defined very differently from the 'Pacing' approach that is commonly understood and described as highly beneficial by most with ME/CFS. These two therapies cannot be compared as they are not the same.
SMC consisted of: an explanation of chronic fatigue syndrome, generic advice, specific advice on self help and symptomatic pharmacotherapy (especially for insomnia, pain, and mood). Such medical care can only be described as deficient when compared with other SMC models that are available in locations other than the study centres and more broadly around the world. The SMC undertook no further investigations, hence possible treatment; this approach in SMC for any condition is unheard of in modern medicine.
GET/CBT Compared with SMC alone, CBT plusSMC improved fatigue scores by 3.4 points on a 33-point scale, while GET plus SMC improved by 3.2. Physical function score improvements were 7.1 for GBT and 9.4 for GET on a 100 point scale. Rated on their 33-point and 100-point scales, participants improved on average only 10% and 8.25% with the two recommended interventions, which does not constitute as even "moderately effective". Not one participant returned close to their previous level of health and many were still highly bothered with symptoms. Despite noting that they screened for depression and anxiety, the discussion section comments on a 47% prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders, and it is this that may have improved with GET/CBT.
Previous studies have identified that CBT/GET can be a helpful adjunct therapy in many chronic diseases. The PACE study confirms these findings but only within a non-specific ME/CFS sample, and thus the results are not surprising. This study tells us that GET/CBT are far from being cures for ME/CFS.
Our Conclusion
The study findings cannot be generalised across all patient groups especially for those groups excluded; furthermore the study claims of no harm to those with ME/CFS cannot be claimed. Recent media reports including medical reporting have provided superficial understandings of the PACE findings, hence there is concern by ME/CFS medical experts and patient groups in Australia that the study findings will be generalised and misunderstood.
Over 5,000 peer reviewed research articles have identified that ME/CFS has a biological underpinning, so it was somewhat disappointing and surprising that such an expensive tax payer funded study was conducted with such a narrow focus on psychological management. Tax-payers in the UK will be disappointed in the wastage of public monies.
With the place for GET/CBT now clearly defined as a support or adjunct therapy, for some with possible ME/CFS, it is now time to put all research efforts, with an equivalent amount of public health funding, into determining the underlying biological cause and find a cure. This is what people with ME/CFS, their family, friends, the community, health practitioners, health departments and governments want. This will return the best investment for the ME/CFS research dollar.
There is no justification or 'will' in Australia to support such a limited model of care for ME/CFS as outlined in the UK PACE study.

Ridge Reading Challenge Devotional: Revelation 5:13
I've been to an NBA playoff game where the atmosphere was electric. The intensity of the players, the energy of the crowd, the decibel level in the arena. I thought, "How can it get any better than this?"
I've been to BigStuf, the Christian camp for students, where a packed room of 2000 teens were worshipping Jesus with all their hearts. What I felt was almost unparalleled. I witnessed their passion for God, and thought, "How can it get any better than this?"
It can and will get better. Just wait. If you are a follower of Jesus, the scene described in Revelation 5 will blow your mind.
All focus will be on Jesus. You will be in the presence of perhaps billions of Christians, who will be worshipping Jesus with all their hearts, minds, souls, and strength. The band will consist of myriads of angels singing, "Worthy is the Lamb!"
According to Revelation 5:13, EVERY creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will be singing, "Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the Lamb forever and ever!" Can you imagine being part of that?
The Book of Revelation can, at times, be hard to understand. Some people find some of what is described to be a bit bizarre. But as you read, don't lose sight of the theme of the book. The primary theme is not future events, catastrophic events, or impending judgment. The book is about Jesus! He's called the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.
The book even ends with John, the writer, exclaiming, "Come, Lord Jesus!" John is ready for Jesus to return, so he can spend eternity with his Savior.
As you read Revelation, see Jesus. Then, take a few minutes to pause and reflect on your relationship with Jesus: what He has done for you, what He means to you, how much He loves you, how much you love Him, or what it will be like to spend eternity with Him. How can it get any better than that?

An evaluation of the educational support for teachers who teach children with life-limiting illness in schools
Robinson, S. and Summers, K. (2012) An evaluation of the educational support for teachers who teach children with life-limiting illness in schools. Pastoral Care in Education, 30 (3). pp. 191-207. ISSN 1468-0122.
Download (388kB)
There are increasing numbers of children living with life-limiting illnesses in mainstream schools. The aim of this literature-based study was to evaluate the current provision of educational support for teachers who are teaching these children in schools. An international literature search produced 23 papers published between 2005 and July 2010 that concerned children with life-limiting illness in relation to education in mainstream schools. The analysis identified that the needs of children with life-limiting illnesses are not being well met, and there appears to be little evidence of educational support for teachers. The paper concludes that schools need to work with both the medical and social models of health/disability in order to meet the needs of children with life-limiting illness. There is some consensus that the way forward needs to include multidisciplinary working within an ecological approach that supports home, schools and the health services working together. Only one paper reported an evaluation of such an intervention. There is a need for more research, evaluation and dissemination about the experience of living with a life-limiting illness in mainstream schools and related interventions, and for this to inform professional education and the coordination of education, health and home systems.

Hi dear inhabitants of LesPlanet do you remember that Michelle Rodriguez that girl who became angry when Kristanna Loken (the nac and sexy Paige L word) pulled out of the closet when they were brides.
It seems that now is careful not to appear to both his alleged heterosexuality, after spending the weekend with a "friend". (I remember when I called too well)
The Mayfair Hotel and Spa in Coconut Grove, Fla., will strengthen the soundless of doors and rooms, after the visit of Michelle this weekend.
The guests who were in the room next door say they were awakened at 9 am on Sunday when they heard the heavy blows from the door of the room and a few screams of a woman in the hallway.
"I woke up Sunday morning with the sounds of two women screaming, and one of them appeared he was going to break the door calling very strong," I recognize the faces and I saw that it was Michelle Rodriguez shouted to the woman who was inside of the room "Open up, let me go, bitch!"
It's clear that there are toys with which much they grow up ... you can not stop playing :)

Deck Repair can increase the value of your home by $745
In most places, decks are considered an inseparable part of the home itself. Some homeowners even include them in their house's master plan. During summer, the deck is a good place to lounge or gather the family. It can also be used for entertainment. Decks are normally made out of flat and wooden materials. They're elevated from the ground and built outside the house. Normally, decks are built with railings for safety.

Homeowners typically hire professional Anchorage deck repair services to fix and maintain their beloved decks. Decks should be examined at least once or twice a year for possible damages like loose boards, protruding nails, or any other possible deck repair that may be needed.

Bestselling romance writer Jennifer Faye gives Writer Gal a sneak peek into "Return Of the Rebel." And from what I can see, it promises to be a sexy read! Xx Writer Gal
"Come on. Let's get you out of these." Cleo tugged at his damp, clingy T-shirt. "Then again your new cologne, eau de coffee, might be a big hit with the ladies."
"You think so? How's it working for you?" Her petite nose curled up. "I don't think it's your scent."
Her soft laughter was the sweetest sound Jax had ever heard. And her smile started a funny feeling in his chest. If only he could keep her smiling.
Her eyes twinkled. "Are you flirting with me?"
"If you have to ask, I must not be doing it right."
She laughed some more. "I'm glad not everything about you has changed. You were always a great guy in my book."
Her gaze lifted up to meet his. The tender look in her eyes touched something deep inside him—a part of him that he thought was long dead. In that moment, he felt more alive than he had in months.
Without thinking he reached out and caressed her cheek. "Thank you."
She leaned into his touch, short-circuiting the logical side of his brain. The only coherent thought in his head was to pull her close and kiss her. And this time he wouldn't be kissing her rosy cheek. This time he planned to find out if those cherry-red lips were as sweet and passionate as they were in his daydreams.

Relaxing weekends...
I had a great weekend at the Belper Arts Trail last weekend. Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging. The public gave me lots of positive feedback and the experience was really useful. It was really interesting to see what paintings others were drawn to. In the future I will be looking into offering prints or cards of my art work so more people can take home a piece of Burnt Amber's work. My sign and business card holder are rustic wood fairtrade items and I'd like to find a display for prints and cards to match so will see what I can find as I'm slowly trying to build up display/exhibition items that match.
Hopefully, next year I will also get to set up in a different location so I can see if it's any different on the main street too - as part of my business research. It was a little quiet where I was - I think this was because we were slightly away from the main street.
The next event I am looking to participate in, is the Nottingham Society of Artist's Spring Exhibition (http://www.nottinghamartists.org.uk/nsa-main/index.php). I am planning on exhibiting two recent paintings: Fushia and Wild Blues, which are currently in my online portfolio. Their space is right next to Nottingham Castle so should be easy to find :)
This weekend I've taken it easy. Saturday it was raining and a bit dreary so I decided to stay in. I saw this painting, which I hadn't got round to finishing so I spent the day adding some more layers to it.
I'm trying to balance the bright fiery colours so they peek through the soft browns and greys, whilst keeping a sense of movement.
It was a gorgeous day today so I decided to do some jobs in our back garden as we're trying to get it in order. I love the different colours of the green leaves and the smell of the grass when the sun is out. I'm currently growing a large herb collection as I want to use all the plants I grow and I think it's going to be great to sit amongst them in the summer.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

The MLX90210 is a discrete micromachined Pressure sensor IC suitable for pressure ranges Between 0 to 1.0 Bar. The pressure medium must be dry and non-corrosive, such as air. The circuit is a piezoresistive bridge which is realized in silicon through a special micromachining process. As pressure is applied to the bridge, a differential voltage change is seen across the Vout pins, while a bias voltage is applied to the Vexc pins.
The Smart Pressure Device SPD series of pressure sensors are silicon based and encapsulated in modified plastic Dual In Line packages, to accommodate six pins for through-board printed circuit mounting. The sensors come in two distinct types: Gauge and absolute. The gauge type merely measures the pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure. The absolute type contains a reference vacuum chamber, which is formed on the die during manufacturing.
