Eiichi Edakuni has been a successful chef in Kyoto before moving to Paris and opening Guilo Guilo in one of our favorite neighborhoods, Montmartre.
Even though the chef tried to avoid strong media presence on his restaurant — he even asked both the Michelin guide and the Gault & Millaut guide not toappear in their yearly editions — Guilo Guilo has quickly become one of the most appraised Japanese restaurants in Paris. It's not easy to get a table there, I made a reservation at Guilo Guilo two weeks in advance and it was necessary to confirm the day before, all with very defined, Japanese style, rules. We came at Guilo Guilo for the first service (there are 2 services per night), we were directed to one of the best places in the balcony, where we had a great view on chef Edakuni.
There's no such thing as a menu, the Chef is given carte blanche to prepare the diner. There were eight dishes in total for a €45 price tag, and we didn't regret any one of them.
The chef really takes you on an experience tailored for you. We almost lost track of the different courses we had. Each plate coming out was a delight for the eyes and palate. There were quite a lot of different products for each plate, and it was hard to integrate the rich flow of information the waiter gave us.
I remember an exceptional crab consommé, sweet and acid at the same time. But we also had very delicate sashimis, very fresh and sliced with the dexterity of a master samurai. The morsel of silky tofu, sweet and sour style was also amazing. All in all the flavors combinations are well executed and the cuisine features genuine Japanese ingredients and recipes.
Our only disappointment? Sometimes we felt overwhelmed by some of the dishes which felt a bit messy and thrown together.
After such high quality courses, we weren't really expecting a tasteless miso soup you'd find in your corner Japanese restaurant, and as expected it was stratospheric. The miso soup was highly flavor concentrated but not too strong.
The real hit of the diner at Guilo Guilo was the tofu course, the texture was like a creme brulée topped by a puffed corn topping. The corn was extremely light and combined well with the silky tofu. A little touch of wasabi gave a nice kick to the whole thing.
Then we had a great slow cooked pork dish. The meat was very tender, and the sauce was slightly sweet, almost like a dessert.
We ended up the with a shrimp tempura, arriving hot and crisp as hell.
I was more perplex about the desserts. It's probably because Japanese inspired desserts have never been very popular in French culture: not very sweet, pasty textures and red beans are not very attractive for the fans of millefeuille.
Even though we hard scoring a reservation at Guilo Guilo, we didn't regret it. All in all, it was quite a great deal, their pricing is incredible value, given the quality of the food we were served.

Just finished the 2010 production The Inside Job: a closer look at the financial meltdown.
It's a two hours documentury/crime about the events (i.e. deregulations) that led up to the 2008 meltdown. Narrated by Matt Damon and filled with hard-hitting, easy-to-grasp statistics, the movie gives a hard, tough look at what really caused the financial crisis. A fan of Roubini's book, Crisis Economics, this movie makes a lot of complex material easily accessible.
The movie – and book – should be on any MBA programs core curriculum.

When the ocean rolls onto the roads, king tide sends a message
King Tide takes park visitors by surprise
The jogging path at Oleta River Park disappeared under water. On Las Olas Boulevard, no wake signs meant for boaters suddenly popped up roadside. Stormwater gurgled through Miami Beach's manhole covers.
Across South Florida over the weekend and early Monday, the seasonal king tide pushed the ocean to places where it didn't belong.
On Twitter and Instagram, picture after picture showed drivers fording roads and water lapping at sidewalks in a state where more people, and more property, are expected to be at risk from sea rise than any other in the nation. By the end of the century, climate scientists say the seas could rise another three to four feet.
In Coconut Grove Sunday, seawater started puddling on the Commodore Trail running path well before a tide that rose more than three feet up and down the coast. By 10 a.m., water had pushed over the seawall at the nearby Coconut Grove Sailing Club, inching toward sailboats perched on trailers.
On Virginia Key, gauges recorded tides at just above four feet Sunday, a foot above what was predicted. Indian Creek flooded Collins Avenue and Miami city officials tweeted a warning to drivers to avoid flooded streets. Around Fort Lauderdale, canals topped their walls.
It gets higher every year.
Campeones Marina worker Guido Peña
"It gets higher every year," said Guido Peña, who works at Campeones Marina in Miami at Northwest Seventh Avenue and Sixth Street, where water was shin deep Monday morning. "I imagine it will be worse next year."
In Miami Beach, where tidal flooding has soared 400 percent since 2006, the city is in the midst of a sea rise protection plan expected to cost about $500 million. Considered a leader in resiliency efforts, four new pumps once again helped keep parts of the city dry.
"Areas that two years ago were completely immersed and would require a kayak to cross the street were extremely dry," said Mayor Philip Levine. They included Indian Creek Drive, Alton Road, North Bay Road and parts of Sunset Harbor, he said.
The city also issued a warning to residents and visitors to avoid storm water after coming under criticism earlier this year for doing too little to clean the polluted run-off.
"We want to continue to monitor and clean," the water, he said. "We're not perfect yet by any means. And we strive for perfection. But we're writing the book as we go along."

I am writing in regard to the admission fee at the Hookstown Fair, especially for toddlers.
The admission fee is $9. However, if a child is under 44 inches tall, he or she is unable to ride the Kiddie Land rides. They do not tell you that when you pay for admission.
Children above 44 inches can get their $9 worth in rides, but the small kids don�t get anything.
The fair needs to look into charging a lower amount for children who are under 44 inches.

The pending — maybe — end of Northwest Airlines has sparked a fair amount of nostalgia in the sky.
Out in Worthington, Daily Globe columnist Ray Crippen recalls the time when the city was on the aviation map — every city was on the aviation map. Heroes of the day like Speed Holman (whose plane is shown above) were yesterday's rock stars:
That Saturday evening, Holman made a short visit to a benefit armory dance. Worthington scrambled to find him a razor. (The newspaper reported another pilot was the star of the evening: "Beyond question, the life of the party was the irrepressible Elizabeth Klingenschmidt who, informed by the local committee that there was no funds available to pay visiting pilots, came anyway and worked like a pert little Trojan all the while she was here.")
There's an aviation museum in Minnesota. It's online.

Ethics and Organs
The United Nations and Council of Europe recently held a panel to discuss issues surrounding organ trafficking and policies to shut down heartless brokers of the underground market. The business of organ tourism and trafficking is a booming, billion-dollar cash business that exploits the world's poor. The market's inventory comes from a variety of sources: some organs are extracted from murdered prisoners in China, others come from people who are desperate enough to sell their organs to support their families or pay a dowry, and still more come thieving doctors. Individual accounts are horrifying—-respected journalists have reported stories about mothers who sell their children's organs, doctors in New Delhi who deceive their patients by falsely claiming that the patient has an illness which calls for the removal of a kidney, and beggars who sell body parts in order to become more effective.
The panel at the UN discussed free markets and whether one should have the right to make the decision to sell what is rightly theirs. Each panelist opposed this idea, agreeing with Dr. Caplan, who noted early in the discussion that those who sell their organs do not do so out of choice so much as out of desperation and exploitation. Dr. Diflo added that the economic consequences of selling an organ actually tends to worsen both the economic and health conditions of the seller in the long run. He cited a study in India where the average yearly salary of donors was reduced by an average of 30% and the health of most donors declined quickly after their operation.
People who are reduced to selling an organ are not the only ones who are desperate, of course. Two thirds of those on the waiting list to receive an organ have a slim chance of getting one in time. The line is deathly long and the options are limited:
Option 1. Take part in the underground market that exploits the world's poor by buying or stealing their organs. The black market is now accessible via Google, which makes it fairly easy to take part in this option. It is risky, however, as black market organs are often not tested for diseases, and the "donated" organ, perhaps from a murdered Chinese prisoner, could be rotting from a nasty disease. Additionally, Maude de Boer-Buquichhio, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, stated that international organizations are considering new policies that will criminalize clients of trafficked organs.
Option 2. Continue to wait, and hope that it doesn't take too long to get your organ in a legitimate manner. Sites such as MatchingDonors.com can help, and some have even had success by posting requests on Craigslist.

SF Chinatown's Stockton could get more elbow room
S.F. NEIGHBORHOODS Busy Stockton Street in line for a makeover
The rush never ceases on Stockton Street, the thoroughfare at the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown.
For 20 years, Mable Vogt has seen it all from the two grocery stores she manages at Stockton and Broadway streets. On a recent afternoon, passers-by streamed down the sidewalk, chattering in Cantonese and carrying bags of bok choy. On the other side of the curb, a truck opened to reveal crates of oranges, as a packed bus wove through a sea of honking, roaring cars.
"It's always been busy with pedestrians and cars," said Vogt, 52, who oversees the Kun Luen and Best Food markets. "Whenever I go by Stockton, I know it's going to be a lot of pedestrians."
No other street in San Francisco bustles with people like this one. Now a group of planners, neighborhood activists and residents are trying to make that activity more manageable.
"Stockton Street has this great controlled chaos. I think it's chaos we love - the vitality, the vibrancy - but it also creates challenges," said Cindy Wu, community planning manager of Chinatown Community Development Center, which, along with the San Francisco Planning Urban and Research Association (SPUR), recently received a $25,000 federal grant to make streetscape improvements on Stockton. Late last month, the groups held a pair of community workshops to brainstorm ideas.
"The sidewalk sees so many people walk over it every day, it gets worn down," said Wu, who is also vice president of the city's Planning Commission.
With more than 20,000 people packed into just 30 blocks, Chinatown is the densest neighborhood in the United States west of Manhattan.
Bus and foot traffic
Eight bus lines run through the area. More than 9,000 people cross Stockton and Jackson streets within two hours on an average weekend, according to the Chinatown Community Development Center.
Supporters cite this high volume as justification for the Central Subway, the $1.6 billion, 1.7-mile subway that will connect Chinatown to the Caltrain station by December 2018.
But the workshops have focused on smaller solutions, like widening the sidewalks to allow people to walk more easily. A few stretches of sidewalk were extended about five years ago. Since the area predominantly draws foot traffic, however, some residents proposed replacing one of two southbound traffic lanes with sidewalk altogether.
Other ideas include removing light poles, trash cans, newspaper racks and parking meters to make more room on the sidewalk. Another suggestion was to consolidate the curbside arrivals of delivery trucks, which are crucial for grocery stores and restaurants but create headaches for car and bus drivers.
"The stores are small and part of what they're selling is freshness, so the delivery needs of Stockton are much more intense than on typical commercial districts elsewhere in San Francisco," said Jeffrey Tumlin, principal at Nelson\Nygaard and a transportation consultant involved in the process.
Other possibilities include better lighting, more durable sidewalks and widened curbs at intersections that would give people more room as they wait to cross.
Multiple uses
"People really view Stockton Street as a place for walking. It's a place for shopping. It's a street for transit," said Sarah Karlinsky, deputy director at SPUR. "Those are the most important uses on the street. These are the things that should be elevated."
Members of the Chinatown Community Development Center and SPUR plan to figure out which ideas have the most consensus and eventually present them as formal recommendations to the city. The hope is not to drive crowds away, but to make them want to come back.
"This," Vogt said, "is the environment of Chinatown."

Notes on a Cleanse
We recently co-ordinated a community-wide cleanse at Source Centre . I created a guideline of foods to eat or avoid, along with some tips regarding lifestyle and approach. We constructed a wall display in the form of a vegetable garden; if someone signed up for the cleanse, they would put their name on a construction paper vegetable, and place it on the wall, signifying their commitment. To my delight, over 25 people signed on to cleanse in some way. This result in itself was very encouraging, as many folks broke out of their comfort zone and agreed to cleanse for the first time. It was inspiring and heartening to witness that courage in the face of many deterrents and fears. Food is a sensitive subject, and bears emotional and psychological weight in our lives. Agreeing to change our eating habits is agreeing to change some deeply habitual aspects of ourselves. The most profound results came about midway through the cleanse. Personally, I had more energy, my skin was brighter, and I felt mentally clear. However, two participants in particular had wonderful results that exceeded my expectations and hopes. The following are testimonials from these participants: The first thing I noticed was a significant reduction in bloating, both in my face and around my stomach area. My skin became very clear. I received a number of comments that my face looked "brighter". I didn't have any cravings for meat or wheat products. The lighter meals satisfied my hunger and didn't leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable. I found I had more energy also. -Rose I had low expectations for this cleanse – it was an idea I'd played with for years but never got around to trying. Leila's advice was gentle and precise: "you can do it if you want to." And I did, so I did. Having committed for one week, I told myself I would try for two. The hard part was getting organized for such a drastic shift in diet (I'm an unashamed carnivore) and staying on top of it, but the results were encouraging and immediate. I was more alert, lighter on my feet and emotionally consistent. I woke up earlier each day, ahead of my alarm, ready for the world. By the second week I felt so in tune with my body and empowered by a growing awareness of my body's wants and needs (many of which I'd previously confused with one another) that it became difficult to imagine reverting back to my old indulgent ways, so I extended the cleanse into a third week. -Phil What is inspiring about these testimonials is that both of these participants had never cleansed before! And yet, they had almost immediate results, and a noticeable shift in energy, appearance and perspective. Cleansing provides so many benefits, not the least of which is learning to listen to your body, and get in touch with your real needs and tastes. The miraculous thing about resetting via a cleanse is that you often realize you don't want those so-called addictive foods in the first place. The clarity in your body and mind become a state worth maintaining, and a great testing ground for noticing what you truly crave. Being in nature is another great way to get in tune with your body, and calm your mind. Spending time in nature daily is a great way to cleanse your thoughts and reconnect with what matters. This summer, continue to embrace refreshing yourself with a nutritious and fortifying diet, and lots of time...Read More
A choice, irrespective of whether it is based on reasons why, comes from an individual resolve. According to the the Vedas, the ancient spiritual texts of India, Sankalpa, or resolve, is the single most important element for an individual on their path. Resolve is the anchoring intention that holds one steady through the internal storms of confusion, doubt, resistance, rationalization and fear. I believe that resolve is beyond will power. Resolve is the confluence of universal and personal truth; it is awareness that strikes into action. Will power alone predicates itself on rules or restrictions, as in "I will not eat sugar anymore!". These are external boundaries that emanate from the mind of the individual, holding them captive. When we make such declarations, we are exporting our power into external boundaries. Resolve on the other hand emanates from within, as a silent, but powerful choice: "I am honouring and celebrating life by nourishing myself." Where will power can be severe, or constricting, resolve is an act of love. Resolve lives in the heart. Over the past few weeks as I have been ruminating on this topic, I've witnessed many inspiring stories of personal resolve from friends, and acquaintances. A common element that arose in every story was that none of these individuals committed to restricting themselves with rigid rules. They each held a personal intention, but also allowed themselves the freedom to act spontaneously. One friend whose intention was to quit smoking began noticing a subtle inner sense of repugnance for smoking, even when he indulged the urge. He increasingly began to identify with that quiet sense until he felt an unequivocal repugnance for cigarettes and quit successfully. Another friend had been practicing veganism for a little while, but allowed herself to indulge in KFC, after which she felt quite ill, and has not craved KFC since. Resolve extends from a paradigm of freedom and abundance. Creating external rules suggests that we do not trust ourselves with our choices. I've often heard people use language like "I'm not allowed," "I can't," or "I'm not supposed to" with regards to lifestyles that they themselves have engineered. What I've also observed is that some folks are reticent about making commitments for fear of failure or mistake. Resolve has nothing to do with success or failure. Resolve weathers "slips" and continues to stand, to shine. Nor does it become dogmatic or punishing. Resolve empowers the individual with an awareness of their capacity for integrity, responsibility, resilience. It lives within each human being as a seed potential. It lives within you. As a gesture of my own resolve, I will share with you a recent commitment I have made. I have chosen to no longer participate in factory farmed animal products. Because I made this choice from a place of love and reverence for life, I feel freer and more empowered when I contemplate it. It is my personal resolve to "be the change," in Gandhi's words. I share it with you as a gesture of faith in your own capacity for integrity, peace, and...Read More

When Irish fantasy meets beer reality, the balance of the world is temporarily altered but nothing a good beer can't fix!
Not Just for St. Patrick's
Just because the Irish party's over doesn't mean porters and stouts go into Hibernian Hibernation until next year!
Irish Beer: No Luck Needed
There's more to know about Irish beer than drinking it, and many a reason to visit Central New York for that Irish spirit!
Just in time for green beer…
*Update 3/9/11: A dear friend from Nova Scotia has informed me that "Braveheart is Scottish not Irish, Scots play the bagpipes not the Irish." However, that "Scots are Celtic, but Saint Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday. I am sure that the Scottish celebrate the day, they like to drink as much as the Irish, but the holiday originated in Ireland." I should have checked Wikipedia. My bad.

Senate challenger Morgaine feels voters' voices aren't being heard | Kingman Daily Miner
[aff name="Lifelock – CJ" title="LifeLock Identity Theft Services"]
KINGMAN – J'aime Morgaine made a name for herself when she filed a lawsuit against Congressman Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, for blocking her comments from his Facebook page, and she's putting it out there now as Democratic candidate for Arizona state senator.
Morgaine said she's not a politician; she's a political activist who doesn't feel elected officials are listening to their constituents and addressing the issues at hand.
At the top of her list is the water issue. Mohave County residents have been complaining for years about developers and venture capitalists purchasing land ostensibly for agricultural purposes and dropping wells into aquifers with diminishing groundwater supply.
"The county Board of Supervisors throws their hands in the air and says there's nothing we can do, and yet that's the job of legislators to change these laws," Morgaine said during an interview at the Daily Miner.
"They're 100-year-old, antiquated, outdated water laws and need to be changed. If Sonny won't do it, I will. Why would you support a legislator who has introduced zero pieces of legislation to change water rights laws, to protect our water?"
Morgaine is challenging incumbent Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, for the Legislative District 5 senate seat.
An Army veteran who worked in communications and is accompanied by her service dog, Carry Ann, Morgaine said district representatives have failed the people on public education and water sustainability.
In his six years as state representative and senator, Borrelli has failed to change water rights laws, allowing foreign investors and corporations to "suck aquifers dry" for commercial agriculture, Morgaine said.
He also received a failing grade from the Arizona Education Association for his voting record on funding public education.
"Constituents' needs aren't being met," the Democratic challenger asserted. "With public education, our students aren't being served by Arizona legislators. All three of our representatives and senator received a failing grade."
Morgaine, who earned her GED and then pursued a master's degree in family counseling, said the lawsuit against Gosar and all the publicity that followed was the result of one person who refused to walk away.
"I believe that one person can and does make a difference and I'm that one person," she said. "I'll stand up and fight when I know I can make a difference. People don't do anything when they can't make a difference, but I know I can, so I do.
"Gosar was relentless on the other side, but that lawsuit forced him to unblock hundreds of constituents and that's when one person can and does make a difference against silencing of constituents," she added.
As a Democrat, Morgaine realizes she's up against long odds with Mohave County's heavy registration of Republican voters, but her issues are common to all people.
"Water, education, health care … it doesn't matter what party you are," she said. "I will show up, listen, return phone calls and hold regular town hall meetings in every community, even our remote rural areas."

The Pioneer Spirit of Hamlet & Rural Life:
Volunteerism, Participation, Collaboration & Partnerships
The Ardrossan Recreation & Agricultural Society (ARAS) was registered as an agricultural society in 1973. Since Ardrossan began in 1909, residents worked together to meet the growing needs of the rural community. The community built the "Orange Hall" in 1913 that lasted until the 1940s. The Memorial Hall was built in 1947 and is still used today.
"Ardrossan had its beginnings in 1909 as a GTPR stop. The post office opened the same year. Miss Edmiston, a local resident, named it for a holiday resort town in Strathclyde, Scotland. The name is from the Gaelic, meaning "height of the little cape." Now a hamlet, it is under the jurisdiction of Strathcona County." (Article from Heritage Community Foundation.) Source: University of Alberta Libraries.
"Ardrossan was always very community minded and its first community hall was Orange Hall, built in 1913. By the 1940s, it was worse for wear and in 1947 the Memorial Hall was built." (Article in the Sherwood Park News, August 23, 2013) Read more about the history of Auld Ardrossan !
ARAS continues the Ardrossan pioneer spirit - to enhance the quality of rural life!

NEW PROVIDENCE – NJ Sharing Network Foundation's 13th Annual Golf and Tennis Classic features more than just the usual prizes and banquet – this year it welcomes Lenore Ford and Peter Rooney to its Board of Trustees.
The foundation, invigorated by its Inaugural Share NJ 5k Walk/Run this spring that raised $450,000, has "one of the most engaged, productive boards I have encountered," says Executive Director Elisse Glennon.
"The foundation's momentum is built in its board, whose energy drives our ability to raise funds in support of organ and tissue donation," says Glennon. "Our most recent additions, Peter Rooney and Lenore Ford both also sit on our golf and tennis planning committee. Ford has served on the planning committee for several years and has advocated for transplantation for more than 15 years. Both have intimate connections with organ donation.
Ford, a resident of Morristown, became interested in organ and tissue donation when her husband received a liver transplant. In addition to her work for NJ Sharing Network, she has volunteered for over 35 years with groups such as Overlook Hospital, Summit Library, Reeves Reed Arboretum, local churches and schools in Summit and surrounding areas.
Rooney, of Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide, and resident of Mendham, joined the board in June. His involvement with donation and the Foundation was spurred by the loss of his father, who was waiting for an organ transplant.
The Annual Golf and Tennis Classic attracts support from throughout New Jersey. This year's event on Monday, Sept. 26, at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, also features a tennis tournament, demonstration and clinic. Plainfield Country Club, home of the 2011 Barclay's, is consistently top-ranked in the US and has been enjoyed by club members and guests for nearly 100 years.
The day of golf and tennis will be followed by a reception and awards ceremony. Throughout the day, guests will have the opportunity to bid on tricky tray and silent auction raffles. Last year's items were a big hit, such as airline tickets, an autographed NY Giants football, Coach Totes, and a Panasonic 42' Plasma HD Television. The 13th Annual Golf and Tennis Classic offers a perfect time for the community to come together to celebrate the gift of life while enjoying good friends, good prizes, and a great mission. In addition, 50/50 raffle tickets will be available throughout the day with an evening drawing. Last year the pot was $10,000. If you are interested in the 50/50 raffle, go to http://njsharingnetworkfoundation.org/events.php#raffle to purchase tickets!
NJ Sharing Network is a non-profit, federally designated organization responsible for the recovery and placement of donated organs and tissue for New Jersey residents in need of life-saving transplants. For information about donation and transplantation in NJ, call 1-800-SHARE-NJ (1-800-742-7365) or visit www.sharenj.org to register as an organ and tissue donor. The NJ Sharing Network Foundation supports the work of NJ Sharing Network to increase the number of lives saved through education, research and public awareness about the life-saving benefits of transplantation.

Stealth games are notorious for their complexities in terms of AI, as they require not only robust behaviors, but also strong sensory system for the NPCs to perceive the world in believable ways. Earlier this year, METRO 2033 was released and it included one of the more innovative visual- and auditory-perception systems of the last few years.
In this interview with Alexey Buinitskiy, Lead Programmer on METRO 2033, you'll learn out about the innovative sensory system and perception modelling, a key part of the game's stealth combat sections. You'll also hear why Alexey replaced the Goal-Oriented Action Planner and what they chose to implement the behavior instead, and finally you'll see the animation system in all its details.

Oggie Turns Four
He is still the cuddly little ball of energy that he was a few days ago...
Nothing has changed visibly.
Not that I expected it to. But, he did.
And, that tells me how aware he is of this 'growing up' thing, and incidentally, of birthdays.
My mind races to list all that he has learnt in the last year, and, so far in his tender years; it wants to share all the little things he does that seem thoughtful beyond his years; it tempers these rushes with the stark fact that kids around the world undergo this developmental phase- I did once...
But, that doesn't diminish any of his leaps forward which I quietly tuck away for recalling and reveling in later.
For now, just the strong involvement and drive he had for marking this special day when the earth has gone around the sun four times since his birth is all I want to savor here.
He zeroed in on the venue and manner of celebration with his friends - outside of school - very firmly requested it; repeatedly.
He picked exactly one thing he wanted as present, leaving no wiggle room for us. He graciously said he can wait for Santa to bring that present for him if he doesn't get it for his birthday.
As soon as he spied me hanging up the Paste Batik Birthday Flag a few days before the special day he knew the festivities have begun in right earnest.
He busied himself making some of the hand-crafted items that was to go into the goody bags; helped make the goody bags; drew/wrote a special message for his friends in a slip of paper (even if the said friends have no way of decoding this message); he remained positive and happy throughout the special day, and the days leading up to it.
He picked out trail mix, licorice sticks,and fruit leather - three of his favorite treats - to give his friends; made bookmarks to share with them; picked out brand new rubber stamps and color inks at the store to add to the goody bag.
Along with Ana, he helped make seed paper, much like we usually do the hand-made paper at home.
The watercolor plastic bag art paper he helped make a while back came in handy for making cute little 3"x3"blank cards for his friends, to go in the goody bag. He chose 4 basic shapes - circle, triangle, square and leaf; watched me closely as I cut them out; helped me paste them onto the card front; gave up following on the envelope-making, satisfied that the end-product was as we had discussed.
Excited beyond the acceptable scale, he managed to stay calm and composed all through his birthday celebration with friends, playing, chatting, eating and merry-making.
Was suitably thrilled and impressed with the Penguin Cake Pops that Ana (and I) wanted to surprise him with. And ecstatic at the Penguin cake (pictured at the top of this post) I made especially for him, considering how enamored he was of these tenacious flightless birds.
Was pooped out enough after a long day, ready for bed on his birthday night without a fuss.
But not before giving me a kiss declaring, "You are my love, mama", which naturally managed to melt my heart and ooze out my eyes...
Many Happy Returns of the Day, my cuddly-sweet love!
Labels: birthday, oggie, seed-paper

You're sitting in a room, all alone. You're seated on the edge of the bed and your body feels heavy as it sags towards the floor. You're breathing hard. Shallow. You close your eyes because when you do that, the reel inside your head begins to slow and the flickering images start to make a little more sense. But they're still there and you know that no matter what you do, those images are staying. Imprinted on your soul forever. Because you're changed forever.
Someone beside you reaches for your hand. They know you're broken. You're scared. You're screaming for help. You don't know what they're thinking. You don't know what they're feeling. You don't know if they understand. But you need them. And as they take your hand in theirs you fall into them.
"At least your baby is here, healthy and happy! That's all that matters."
And the world comes tumbling down.
I have heard this so. Many. Times. I have learned not to react. Not to shut down and wallow. Not to question myself and my own reactions to what happened. I've learned that not everyone understands. They can't. They won't. I've learned to appreciate that birth trauma is still so misunderstood.
I get comments and emails and messages that question my motives for writing about birth trauma. What happened to me is nothing compared to what happened to them. They went through what I did and they aren't traumatised, so why am I? They've been through much worse, what gives me the right to complain? They don't have a baby, happy and healthy, at all. So how dare I feel cheated, or mournful or angry?
I won't dismiss your feelings. But I won't accept that it's ok for you to tell me a healthy baby is all that matters. I matter too. My birth experience matters. My emotional wellbeing. My state of mind. I matter as much as you do.
I took a baby home from the hospital and I will always ALWAYS be grateful that I did. I will always know how lucky I am. I will always appreciate the work that was done to save my son's life. But I will also always remember the horror that was his birth. I only wish I could forget.
A healthy baby is important. But it is NOT all that matters.

Africa is a continent that is still original and very beautiful for the safari tour. Although it is considered as the third world, this continent would provide an unforgettable experience for the visitors. Many tourist attractions that can provide different shades, which can not be obtained by travelers in any hemisphere. Among the many attractions on the African continent, here are five tourist destinations that are considered most attractive.

South Africa is touted as "the world in one country", because in this country there are many tourist safari attractions, such as the exploration of the desert to the coast of the Indian Ocean.

However, in the desert there are many nature reserves which can be a choice of desert safari tours.

Freddie Gibbs Makes the Sun Shine All Day on Harry Fraud's Mixtape (Audio)
There has been a lot to celebrate for Freddie Gibbs in recent months, beginning with his September acquittal of sexual-assault charges. In the months since, he has undoubtedly taken time to embrace his freedom and although he's been relatively quiet on the music front, a handful of appearances suggest he is far from knocked down. In October, he could be found on the Country Cousins's Country Kingz mixtape, which he followed up with a November collab with producer Harry Fraud.
Without a Shadow Of A Doubt: Freddie Gibbs Acquitted of Sexual Assault Charges
"All Day" is featured on Fraud's new compilation, Rogues Playlist Vol. 2, itself a follow-up to January 2016's installment of the playlist series. On the record, which samples Alexander O'Neal"s "Sunshine" (a track Heads might recognize from Jay Z's "(Always Be My) Sunshine," among others), Gibbs rhymes about the work he puts into the hustle. It's also a lamentation on the cycle of incarceration many have difficulty escaping from, with Gibbs rapping "them people got you by the nuts when you stuck on the paper."
Fraud's Rogues Playlist Vol. 2, also features Action Bronson, Curren$y, Juvenile, and more.
Gibbs Heads can also hear some new material in the form of his appearance on Curren$y's latest mixtape, 12/30.

We haven't had a YMCA membership for a couple of years, but Roger's job had a great deal where they pay for a lot of the price for a family membership, so we just had to sign up and take advantage of the deal. Usually you pay almost $50/month for a family, we are able to pay almost $30/month and the company pays for the rest! They also hold us accountable--we have to check in four times a month in order to keep our membership. So far, the kids and I have been hitting the gym 2-3 times a week. Being homeschooled, we can go to the Y during the early afternoon when it's not crowded. And, Lauren is old enough now that she can work out with us on the gym equipment, so it's been awesome! I was working out on some weight machines and looked over and saw Lauren singing as she was working out on the eliptical; not out loud, but just mouthing the words, but also sweeping her arms to the side like she was performing. I started videoing her and she didn't notice at first, but then realized I was doing it. She is so funny--doesn't care where she is, or who's watching, but she's always up for a performance. I found out afterwards that she was listening to the song Let It Go from the movie Frozen.
This past weekend we went to Kansas City so the Wichita Community Children's Choir, which Lauren is a part of, could perform with three other choirs from around Kansas. It was a day trip, and the concert was really short, but it was fun to drive to KC and hang out for a few hours. The church was absolutely beautiful, but too small for all of the kids and audience members. Plus, no microphones were used, so when the adults would introduce their choir and tell us the songs they were going to sing, we couldn't hear everything, I think because the church was so expansive that voices just carried away like the wind and couldn't be directed to one place. I love Lauren's director because she also is a choir teacher at a middle school, so she knew how to project her teacher's voice in the church and she was the only person we could hear clearly. However, when the choirs sang, hearing them was not a problem. Each choir sang two songs, and then all choirs joined together for one song. Enjoy the videos!
We have just not had much of a winter at all this year. Evan has enjoyed going outside to practice soccer with his goal, or as this picture shows, throwing his knives at wood logs--in shorts and no jacket!
Our favorite football team, the Denver Broncos, was in the playoffs, so I just had to go to church dressed in orange and blue, sporting my Bronco earrings. Then, after church we watched the game and Evan had on all of his gear, plus his blanket, and Broncos pillow pet he's had since he was little, and he and I literally were jumping up and down for joy when the Broncos won! We are so excited for the Super Bowl this weekend!

Form of sugar linked to higher diabetes ratesBy
While most experts will agree that too much sugar in any form is bad for your health, the jury is still out whether any one form of sugar is worse than another. A study released this week adds to the debate by showing a link between high fructose corn syrup and diabetes. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the University of Oxford say they have found an association between countries that use more high fructose corn syrup in their food supply and those that have higher rates of diabetes.
High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener in sodas and fruit-flavored drinks. Research has shown that high-fructose corn syrup is chemically similar to table sugar. Controversy exists, however, about whether or not the body handles high-fructose corn syrup differently than table sugar.
High-fructose corn syrup may or may not be less healthy than other types of sweeteners. We do know, however, that too much added sugar — not just high-fructose corn syrup — can contribute unwanted calories that are linked to health problems, such as weight gain, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and high triglyceride levels.

Our God is a jealous God and many people don't understand that. As I was thinking about it one day it hit me that God is jealous over us like a husband is jealous over his wife. God our Father sent His only Son to pay the ultimate price for a Bride which is the church. He gave what was most precious to Him to save a dying world so why wouldn't He be jealous over us?
In the Old Testament Israel was God's CHOSEN people, in the New Testament we are called the Bride of Christ because He died for us. God created Adam and Eve for FELLOWSHIP, to have a relationship with them which has not changed. In any relationship you want the other person to ONLY have affection for you and not to share intimate times, intimate discussions, and intimate secrets with someone else. Once you become married and share your intimacy with another it is called Adultery.
As a husband I am jealous over my wife's affections and only want her looking at me, sleeping with me, holding my hand, and telling me alone that she loves me. I do not want her to share her affections with any other lover because we have a marriage vow or covenant. So why would our Creator and Heavenly Father want us to share our affections with other lovers? He is jealous over us like a husband is over a wife and He told Israel many times that they were in adultery because they were sharing their affections with other man made gods or breaking their covenant with God by serving other nations!
Some will wonder HOW we share our affections with other gods today. It is simply when we give something in life our undivided attention and forget who saved us, delivered us, watches over us, and died for us. Examples are when we spend our time glued to the tv, consumed with sports either watching or playing it, or even being a workaholic. Anytime we think of something in our lives all the time and put those things above God and sharing our affections with Him by reading His Word, praying, going to church, feeding the poor, or giving our money to support His work we are committing spiritual adultery.
If you stop for a moment and think about spiritual adultery and devoting your time to sports, work, hobbies, drugs, alcohol, or anything that takes you away from God's relationship it just doesn't make sense. You are devoting your time and money or investing it with something that can never give back to you. Think of it like flushing your money down the toilet, you might have momentary satisfaction but then it's gone… so then you look for your next fix.
As a natural father I am also jealous over my children. I want them to give me their affection with hugs, love and kisses, and treat me with honor and respect. To love me and not spend lots of time over another father's house or talk about how good a friend's father is to them to try and get me to do something.
As a natural father and husband it is alright in our society to be jealous and covet our wives and children's attention so why is it wrong for our Heavenly Father to do the same over us? As our Creator He gave us life which in my eyes, by default, makes Him our Father!
So jealously can be good when looked at in the proper light and God IS jealous over us and wants to protect us and only share our affections with Him. I personally want a Father and God who watches over me and not some statue, sports figure, job, or any other god in my life that can't do anything for me but rob my time and money. I want to serve a God that I can go to in times of trouble and know that He is there and will do something when I cry out to Him!
Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Deut 4:23-24 AMP
You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, And showing mercy and steadfast love to thousands and to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in falsehood or without purpose.
Deut 5:9-11 AMP
For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God, Ex 34:14 AMP

烟壶随笔 | Snuff Bottle Blog
烟壶随笔 | Snuff Bottle Blog
Inside painted snuff bottle traditionally had very limited subjects. The most common themes seen are: Landscape, Still Life, Insects, folklore and portrait.
Wang Xi San wanted to broaden the themes and began to experiment with painting cats, his favor animal. However, with a traditional bamboo pen, the painting tip was too hard for painting fur with soft texture. Wang tried to solve the problem by splitting the tip of bamboo pen into finer nibs, he also tried to tie a few pig bristles on the tip of the bamboo pen, but the effect was not satisfactory.
In the summer of 1959, Wang Xi San seek the advice of Master Yang Shi Hui, an ivory-carving teacher. Master Yang pondered for a moment and said to Wang: "I think I knew of a man that could help you. His name is Cao Ke Jia. He is a knowledgeable art teacher and is best known for painting furry animal, especially cats. "Wang Xi San listened with excitement and begged Master Yang to introduce him to Master Cao Ke Jia.
The next day, Master Yang contacted Master Cao and set up an appointment for Wang Xi San:
"I contacted Mr. Cao. He will be waiting for you at home this coming Sunday." He then gave Wang a detailed map to Master Cao's home.
On that Sunday afternoon, the weather changed suddenly and a storm started. Despite the bad weather, Wang Xi San decided to brave the storm for this important appointment.
Master Cao Ke Jia, on the other hand, saw that the thunderstorm was not going to stop and thought that it was impossible for Wang to visit him. He was just going to start on his new painting when suddenly, the doorbell rang. He opened the door and in front of him was young Wang Xi San soaked wet by the heavy downpour.
"My name is Wang Xi San, from the Beijing Institute of Arts and crafts, I am here to see Mr. Cao. " Wang said respectfully.
"Come in quickly." Mr. Cao was very pleased to see the determine young artist and warmly said:
Wang Xi San explained the intention of his visit and showed Master Cao his painted bottles with themes of animals with furry hair. Impressed with Wang determination and eagerness to learn, Master Cao immediately took out his notes and shared his technique of painting animals' fur. Wang Xi San was impressed with the extraordinary skill that Master Cao had, especially his skill of drawing the cats fur and eyes. Master Cao's cat was almost photo like and captured every detail of the playful animal.
Master Cao's notes fascinated Wang Xi San. He wanted to borrow it home to study carefully but felt inappropriate to ask. Master Cao understood what was on Wang mind and smiling said: "If you like, you can borrow the notes for a few days."
"Thank you, Master Cao, your works were fantastic and exactly what I needed. I will borrow your notes and returned them within three days." The delighted and gratefully Wang said
Master Cao nodded with a smile and bid farewell to Wang Xi San.
Wang Xi San could not believe his luck. He has met a master that could help him with a breakthrough in his painting career.
Three days later, Wang Xi San returned the original notes to Master Cao and brought along his own copy of the note. Master Cao look through Wang work and was very impressed with Wang painting ability and tenacity to learn. He turned around and took a book that he had written on the technique of paint and told Wang Xi San: "I will accept you as a student if you are willing."
Wang Xi did not expect Master Cao to take him in as a student. He immediately stood up respectfully and bowed to Master Cao. Master Cao was also delighted to have such a talented student and shared whole heartedly his painting techniques to Wang, include the secret of painting the animal fur and eyes.
With what he had learn from Master Cao as the foundation. Wang Xi San developed a new painting technique that could realistically paint the fur of animals like cats and wolves in snuff bottles.
Cao Ke Jia was born on April 1906 in Beijing, alias Ru Xian. He specializes in Chinese painting, particularly detailed painting of cats.
He used to be a teacher of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, a cadre of arts and crafts companies under the Ministry of Light Industry and a member of the Chinese Artists Association.

I thought integration was supposed to "fix" everything for black people but the NFL proves otherwise. Black players fought decades for full inclusion and today the league is about 70 percent black. But black presence has not translated into black power — ask Colin Kaepernick. The head of the NFL Player's Association, DeMaurice Smith, is also black. Smith has been actively fighting for Ezekiel Elliott to get back on the field — a man accused of domestic violence — but is largely silent on the issue of Colin Kaepernick. Something is deeply broken and integration clearly isn't fixing it.
Washington's franchise was the last to integrate, having done so in 1962. As black people today are boycotting the NFL due to Kaepernick's treatment, black organizations like CORE and the NACCP targeted the owner of the Washington team with boycotts during the 1950's. The fight was to get black players integrated into a white organization and ultimately that fight was won. But what value is that victory when, according to Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett, players are afraid to speak out because "They fear for their jobs, they fear for their well-being?" Martellus' brother Michael was just recently involved in an incident in which Las Vegas police, according to Michael, pulled a gun on him and threatened to shoot him. Michael likely represents just one more black NFL player who cannot depend on unqualified support from his colleagues. Ezekiel Elliott has no such worry because he represents the violation of a woman's body and not white men's unquestioned power over black bodies.
Whether we work for an NFL owner or a progressive nonprofit, black people wrestle with these same realities daily. How black can we be and still keep our job? How much "pro-black" stuff can we post on Facebook before we make our colleagues or a potential employer uncomfortable? When one of our black colleagues experiences an injustice, how wise would it be to stand with them? The NFL is simply a microcosm of daily black life. That is, we as black people are trying to navigate spaces in which our presence is thought to be the ultimate sign of progress. Even so, we are keenly aware that our presence must be muted if we are to maintain it. Daily we observe injustice and endure microaggressions but we understand that to advocate for ourselves might ultimately be our downfall. It is a quiet torture.
Like the NFL players Martellus Bennett described, many of us are afraid everyday of our lives. Those whom we work for and with have no clue. We may be employed but we are certainly not free. As Marvin Gaye so eloquently said, "This ain't living." All of this points to the need for black institutions. Yes, it is nice that black people can exist in white spaces in 2017 but existing and freely living are very different. Integration certainly opened up avenues of entry but it didn't necessarily guarantee true freedom once inside. We shouldn't forget that and we most certainly should not begin to believe that black institutions are unnecessary.
You may hate what Louis Farrakhan says but he speaks freely because he heads a black institution supported by black people. Charles Barkley on the other hand? Not so much. We must learn from that. I don't care to enter into integrated spaces if the price of admission is to check my true convictions at the door and remain silent. That is too high a price to pay. Integration is fine and we should take advantage of it but we should also be clear that black institutions are truly a necessity today, just as they were before integration. We must choose to build our own and live freely.

I got to participate in the RentPath engineering department planning session for 2016. We tried to develop a common vision for how we would like the department to operate at the start of 2017, and use that vision to evaluate our current processes and proposed changes.
I spent the last week of 2015 in bed with the flu. We all have things in our lives that we would like to do better, but the week I wasted, unable to do much of anything, all because I hadn't even taken the time to consider getting a flu shot was really frustrating. It also reminded me that there are a lot of ways that I have been neglecting my health, and the diseases my current course will lead to won't go away in a week.
Recognizing the need for change, I am going to try the same planning approach and start by asking who do I want to be at the beginning of 2017? And what kinds of things do I need to do, and what habits do I need to form, in 2016 to become that person?
At the start of 2017 protecting my health is a priority, because I recognize that being healthy leads to more energy and more enjoyment of life. Poor health not only means feeling bad, it also makes everything else in life more difficult.
I spend more time around other people. It is easy for me to get wrapped up in my own projects and pursuits, but life is more fun with others. I explore new music, listening to artists I haven't heard before, going out to hear music live, and making horrible noises on the piano in my basement.
In the past, I have given up a lot in exchange for convenience and never realized what it was costing me. In 2016, I am without excuse. For the first time since 2002, I start the year with no thought about how to prepare for my next job. In 2016 my only career goals are to get better at the job I already have, and to help the people around me succeed.
I am looking forward to 2017 and who I am going to be. And I am going to enjoy getting there.
Happy New Year.

ASBURY PARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- There is a new push for renters rights in New Jersey, with advocates fighting to change the law in order to give renters more protection.
Two state lawmakers are calling out landlords who allegedly force residents to live in deplorable conditions to get money from the state and federal government.
One single-room occupancy location in Asbury Park has 50 residents, and city officials say it has had numerous violations for insects, mice and roach infestations. The rooms are tightly packed, and the building shows a lot of wear and tear.
On Tuesday, senators Jennifer Beck and Ron Rice inspected the building and others, demanding landlords address the problems or run the risk of losing the housing subsidies from the state used to help tenants pay rent.
Officials say landlords have been able to evade responsibility by setting up limited-liability corporations and using PO boxes as addresses, which then makes it difficult to find landlords when there is a problem.
One post office box in particular was reportedly used by more than 300 LLCs owning property in the area.
Residents have said there are problems with bed bugs in the rooms. The senators are introducing legislation to cut out negligent landlords, cutting them off from state funds until properties are made safe and sanitary for people to inhabit.
"We know that there are children and families living in substandard conditions, and we have to act," Beck said. "Taxpayers are funding this housing. We have to make sure it's clean and sanitary and not infested with rats and cockroaches, and I think that's simple and straightforward."
The landlord for the building in question was on site, and he said he tries to address all problems any time a concern comes up. He said they always try to deal with any pest inside the building, and he said the folks who rent there have to be more responsible for the upkeep of the rooms in which they live.

They are typically brightly dressed, often wearing flourescent rain gear during the heat of summer, and usually brandishing a smouldering tube of cut and dried tobacco leaves with which they slowly poison themselves while dodging two ton metal missiles. They are out there in all weathers, earning about $20 per hour on average, pointing out to drivers where they need to steer in order not to run them over, which usually entails also missing the major obstruction in the road, be it a large hole, a large something else, or...whatever.
I used to do stuff like this when I worked as a traffic cop. One of the things that we were responsible for at the scene of an accident was the safe movememnt of passing traffic (and more rarely, simply to close the road). I have, therefore, stood in the centre of a huge intersection with ten lanes of traffic from four different directions and managed the traffic flow in every direction, and I have done that successfully, and things like it, regularly. It therefore brings upon me a state of mild disbelief when I see the antics of these so-called professionally trained individuals on our local roads, struggling to manage a simple single lane diversion around some roadworks.
Last week I came around a bend at the end of a long straight section of road to find a flagger in the middle of the road just past the apex, gesticulating wildly for me to slow down. It didn't seem to enter her head that she was standing in THE most dangerous place to stand, and that no advance warning of her and her colleagues' presence had been posted prior to the bend. Common sense, I'd have thought, but apparently not. Today I was negotiating a single lane section and the guy in front of me, pulling an impressively large motor boat behind his impressively large raised truck suddenly slowed to a crawl - walking pace in fact, and painfully executed a turn from the running lane back to our normal lane at the end of the construction site. I wondered why he was driving so lowly until he moved out of the way and there, standing in the middle of the lane and offering almost no room to manouvre (despite the empty road behind her) was a small, typically dessicated middle aged woman wearing flourescent everything, huge mirror sunglasses, a hard hat and an expression of contempt.
I can only assume that massive consumption of cigarette smoke and persistent dehydration gives so many of these people the look of a famine victim combined with the skin texture of old, undernourished saddle leather. The sunglasses add to the image of other-worldliness and a lack of connection with the drivers they feebly wave their hand signs at, or whom they direct with their 'it's this way, stupid!' blindingly obvious pointy fingers (what else would I do, drive straight into the road roller?).
I don't have a problem with the concept of flaggers, and I'm sure that they receive adequate training - the issue for me is that so many of them seem to be trying to be cool about it (and reducing their movements to an absolute bare minumum), seem to be too apathetic to do it properly (an exhibit similar reluctance to move appropriately) or have no idea what they are trying to do. The 'STOP'/'SLOW" signs they wave about with a desultory air are used with a quite pathetic indifference, they rarely - if ever - make eye contact with an oncoming driver, and in my experience spend much of their time looking in the opposite direction to oncoming traffic. It's all rather bad. My personal anti-favourite is the flagger (most often a young female) who takes delight not in monitoring the traffic but in smiling and waving at drivers as they pass by...not exactly professional.
There have been some recent tragedies involving vehicles coming into abrupt, bone-crushing and flesh-rending contact with flaggers. No matter what their professional shortcomings (if any) may be, not one of them deserves to be ploughed into by some numbskull in a car or truck, but a great many of the ones I see don't do themselves any favours at all when it comes to minimising risks and properly controlling traffic flow in the safest possible way. It's about time the majority of responsible flaggers took th etrouble to weed out those who are adanger to themselves and everyone around them, and began demanding professionall standards of behaviour on the site

- Thomas Edison was a staunch supporter of DC power generation, but it could not be transmitted economically over long distances.
- Nikola Tesla, who immigrated to the United States in 1884, believed in AC power generation.
- Tesla invented the polyphase induction motor and, with it, ushered in what some have called the Second Industrial Revolution.
- Just three years after arriving in America, Tesla filed for seven U.S. patents describing a complete AC system based on his induction motor.

Some corporations and lobbying organizations claim small shareholders (Chevedden, McRitchie/Young, and the Steiners) submit 40% of proposals, most fail and we are forcing companies to waste money. Actually, small shareholders are critical to democracy.
This is an old complaint. A 1947 hearing on proxy rules before a House Committee charged shareholder proposal rules would provide a "field day for crackpots." [165 Com. & Fin. Chron. 273 (May 22, 1947)] A study of 286 shareholder proposals submitted between 1944 and 1951 found that 137, or 48% were submitted by the Gilbert brothers, the so-called crackpots of their day. In 1952, they owned from 5 to 324 shares in 118 companies. Continue Reading →

text: There is much talk about political correctness on college campus. This is including, but not limited to, discussion about Halloween costumes, trigger warnings, safe spaces, and issues involving feminism and race relations. I am not going to write here about my opinions regarding political correctness, or trigger warnings, or any of those issues. Instead I am going to focus on a very weird dynamic of this dialog: The fight over whether or not being politically correct is a restriction on free speech.

A strange post. We`ve had aproblem on the web site for ages in that we could not get the large picture option to work. This morning playing around on my laptop the problem went away. We now know the problem has not been us (hense our inability to fix it). It appears to be an issue with firefox (the browser on the main PC), my laptop however uses internet explorer and that was working fine so we were trying to fix a problem not of our making. The weird vageries of the internet

Same here, I cannot view the large pictures. Normally, pictures open up in a pop-up screen, but the large ones load on the page itself and are 'too big'. I also can't scroll to the right or down, it just keeps scrolling and 'shaking', but no more of the image comes into view...ReplyDelete

The UK Motor Business According to the Society of Motor Producers and Merchants (SMMT), in early 2009, UK gross sales of new cars and different automobiles had been the lowest for 35 years.
