Series one #10: "THIS WILL BE OUR PARA-DISE"
Review: BAD WOLF/THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Joe Ahearne, 2005
'TV shows gone evil' could have been an archetypically mad Doctor Who concept, but is fumbled by being so reverential that no satire is displayed. If anything is ripe for parody, it's reality TV, but no – there's no opinion about it either way here (by contrast, see Charlie Brooker's vitriolic 'zombie Big Brother,' Dead Set); everything's made too literal by using real shows, so you can't avoid the massive cynicism of trading off these shows' status and then being too scared to rub them the wrong way.
There are attempts at meaningful commentary ("Half the world's too fat, half the world's too thin, and you lot just watch telly"), but even the Doctor is distracted from this train of thought, like no-one can bear to bite the hand that feeds. If anything, I would've preferred seeing the Doctor in a contemporary Big Brother gone evil. Also, if they were going to do this, if only they'd filmed in the real house; this shitty knock-off belies the trouble gone into getting cross-channel permissions, while The Weakest Link questions are entirely meaningless and thus tedious.
In fact, there is a quite uncanny feel to start with, but the idea of BB et al existing in most respects unchanged 200,000 years in the future is suspension of disbelief busting even on Doctor Who's ridiculous terms.
I wrote a massive rant when this was first screened – probably textbook 'anti-RTD,' in retrospect – about how vapid, contrived, 'lazy and shallow and embarrassing' it is, 'spoon-feeding lumpen proles'. To an extent, I still agree with those comments, it's just that distance has allowed me to appreciate elements beyond this.
It's interesting seeing Bad Wolf as a direct sequel to The Long Game, showing again more direct links between the stories here than in later Davies seasons. The costumes are even more mundane though – they aren't even archetypally iconic silhouettes, just jeans and boring short-sleeved shirts. (With hindsight through, it is nice to have a non-contemporary finale.)
In fact, it all looks a bit cheap – the Playmobil androids and the Daleks' Quasar set is particularly heinous. I do kind of love the Emperor despite myself, given its clear fanboy button-pushing, though this is mainly down to Nick Briggs, to be fair ("THIS – IS – PER-FECTION!"). The ring-modulated religious terminology works well, too, certainly better than when it's rehashed in The Next Doctor with the Cybermen – Daleks are more epic and mythic to start with.
The Bad Wolf 'arc' (such as it is) is still a letdown, and I feel it should've been made clearer that the 'Bad Wolves' seeded throughout the series derive from the Corporation here; it always felt to me like the Bad Wolf Corporation was just another incidence of these two words recurring, but Rose's message to herself wouldn't have any meaning if it didn't originate here.
It doesn't feel particularly special for a finale; it's a bit too mundane: guns and sci-fi corridors and extras with boring clothes. This mundanity extends to the towtruck opening the TARDIS console (I assumed that was 'clearly' going to follow a brute-force-won't-work route, where Rose'd realise she'd have to commune with the TARDIS to get it to respond to her. Besides which, the angle they're pulling it at clearly wouldn't open it). In fact, it's possibly one of the most straightforward stories of the season, with everything contrived to build toward the moment of regeneration, which doesn't feel that momentous anyway.
On the flipside, it's pleasingly unflashy by comparison to later overblown finales, and I do like the highlighting of the Doctor as flawed hero, with his responsibility here for "a hundred years of hell". Nevertheless, though I've become more able to accept the stories that I still particularly don't like, I would have much preferred to see Kyoto in 1336 than this.
I just wish Davies wouldn't try to outdo Hollywood – something he can't possibly do, and which is especially heinous when it's clearly the Michael Bays, Roland Emmerichs, and, yes, Steven Spielbergs that he's trying to outdo – big, unsubtle filmmakers, all blood and thunder and saccharine emotion thrown in. Dear god. Trying to take on multimillion-dollar budgets makes it a very foregone conclusion who's going to come off worse. Those films are soulless enough, but predicated around massive budgets and being able to blow things up on a large scale; Doctor Who can't do this to any comparable degree, so, to my mind, should alter its game plan accordingly. Yes, the series has done relatively large-scale, globetrotting action well in the past (say, in The Seeds of Doom, etc), but Doctor Who's forte has always, I'd argue, been smaller and more unusual.
Series one
It's very interesting, now, with a little distance, appreciating Christopher Eccleston's season as much a full, legitimate era as any other (eg, the Third Doctor's, with its 'UNIT family'), with as many recognisable and distinctive tropes (not least the Mancunian bovver boy Doctor and council estate-blonde companion).
One of the main things I found watching it this time, comfortingly, is that the series is as hokey as ever, really. I mean, to all the outsiders and critics and long-suffering girlfriends. If you don't care about it, it's still just stupid monsters and aliens and stuff – even when it's attempting a serious drama like Father's Day. That makes me love it.
Having said that, it's a lot less gaudy and crass than it could have been. Overall, the entire collection of stories may not be entirely to my taste, but I appreciate them as a collection. Everything did get notably fluffier, generally speaking, with the departure of Eccleston, which I now see as fully tragic for the show. In retrospect, this is much more uncompromising and less trite than the later seasons can be (even appearing visually darker).
Also, for all its faults, at least the new series feels (unidealistically) human; people eat bad food, send texts, and get drunk. This can get translated into a relentlessly lower-middle-class mentality, which seems reductively out of place in a series which is capable of such infinite variety, but, say, the preceding TVM, by comparison, doesn't feel human at all. Grace Holloway is supremely idealised by comparison to most companions: she is a cardiologist, living in a gorgeous house in San Francisco, who goes to the opera. This is pretty much all we know about her. Not that these things aren't 'real'; they just feel very contrived to fit the makers' idea of the character as An Intelligent Nineties Woman. Similarly, the Fifth and Sixth Doctor's eras under John Nathan-Turner adopted a prissy abhorrence of real life, and barely acknowledged anything as messily human as cravings or fancying someone or even feeling homesick.
I'm not a huge fan of Rose, mainly cos of the horribly hysterical fanfic thing that's built up around her, and series two's whinginess. But, on the basis of this series alone, she is the best new series companion. Her reactions are idiosyncratic enough to feel authentically human in a way the bland Martha, likeable though she is, doesn't. (I can't help but think this is because the Doctor/Rose pseudo-romance is much more 'paternal' and based on mutual respect than with Tennant.)
As for Eccleston's Doctor, much as I've warmed to him this time round, I'm still surprised the general public did; he's just not easy or particularly accessible (in the ways Tennant is). It's great that still worked (though puzzling, given how much the general public are written down to elsewhere in the series), but, considering how much he has been erased by Tennant in the public consciousness, I can't help but feel the show's initial popularity was more in spite of than because of him.
I used to think of the Ninth Doctor as ineffectual and not even as intelligent as his predecessors. But, he's canny, subtly driving events from the background. In fact, he reminds me of nothing so much as a combination of the First Doctor's snappish moral authority and the Seventh's goofy enthusiasm and energy, shielding a darker persona.
Coming back to this series – which has almost become a forgotten prefix to Tennant's era – makes me realise that I very quickly stopped actually judging Tennant's performance, because I take him for granted so much; he simply is the Doctor (for better or worse). While this might be seen as a good thing, my comparative ambivalence about Eccleston makes me consider his at least the more interesting casting (if not simply 'the better choice'). Also, four years late, it's only just sinking in what a coup casting a character actor as respected as Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor is.
Overall, series one is more coherent than those that followed (the recurring Albion Hospital and Satellite 5/Gamestation, etc) – arguably a advantage born out of its relative limitations. In series one the show wasn't yet an all-conquering ratings behemoth and couldn't indulge its every whim quite so readily, and consequentially it feels tighter.
Its other strength is in not going too far in any one direction. Yes, it has a certain juvenile streak – but it also includes quite serious dramatic approaches. Similarly, there is stunt casting – but also plenty of unknowns in juicy roles. The way the new series' seasons are set up to shift from a light to a dark tone is also a canny way of ensuring its longevity, rather than settling on one tone.
There are too many slight stories for this to be a classic season, but as a statement of intent for a to all intents and purposes long-dead series, it's as effective as could be realistically hoped for. (Although, it is interesting how now I can barely imagine how the series could have been brought back different – whereas obviously there are countless possibilities. As, hopefully, we will see under Moffat…)

Ten Books about Ravel
The only love affair I have ever had was with music.
– Maurice Ravel
This Companion provides a comprehensive introduction to the life, music and compositional aesthetic of French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). Leading international scholars offer a powerful reassessment of this most private and elusive musician, examining his work in detail within its cultural context. Supported by many music examples, the volume explores the full range of Ravel's work - piano repertory, chamber works, orchestral music, ballets, songs and operas - and makes illuminating comparisons with the music of Couperin, Gounod, Chabrier and Debussy. The essays present the latest research focusing on topics such as Ravel's exoticism and Spanishness and conclude by analysing the performance and reception of his music, including previously untranslated reviews. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ravel's birth, the Companion as a whole aims to secure a solid foundation for Ravel studies in the twenty-first century and will appeal to all enthusiasts and students of his music.Buy the Book
This new biography of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), by one of the leading scholars of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French music, is based on a wealth of written and oral evidence, some newly translated and some derived from interviews with the composer's friends and associates. As well as describing the circumstances in which Ravel composed, the book explores new evidence to present radical views of the composer's background and upbringing, his notorious failure in the Prix de Rome, his incisive and often combative character, his sexual preferences, and his long final illness. It also contains the most detailed account so far published of his hugely successful American tour of 1928. The world of Maurice Ravel-including friendships (and some fallings-out) with Debussy, Faure, Diaghilev, Gershwin, and Toscanini-is deftly uncovered in this sensitive portrait.
The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), beloved by musicians and audiences since its debut, has always proven itself a difficult topic for scholars. The traditional stylistic categories of impressionism, symbolism, and neoclassicism, while relevant, have offered too little purchase on his fascinating but enigmatic work. Ravel the Decadent provides an innovative and productive solution by locating the aesthetic origins of this music in the French Decadence and demonstrating the extension of this influence across the length of his oeuvre. While there are many Decadent topics, this book selects three-memory, sublimation, and desire-and uses them not only to delineate the content of this music, pinpoint its overlap with contemporary cultural discourse, and link it to its biographical context, but also to create new methods altogether for the analysis and interpretation of music. Ravel the Decadent opens by defining the main concepts, giving particular attention to memory and decadence. It then stakes out contrasting modes of memory in this music: a nostalgic mode that views the past as forever lost, and a more optimistic mode that imagines its resurrection and reanimation. It acknowledges Ravel's lifelong identity as a dandy-a figure that embodies the Decadence and its aspiration toward the sublime-and identifies possible moments of musical self-portraiture before stepping back to theorize dandyism in European musical modernism at large. It then addresses the dialectic between desire and its sublimation in the pairing of two genres-the bacchanal and the idyll-and leverages the central trio of concepts to offer provocative readings of the two waltz sets, the Valses nobles et sentimentales and La valse. It concludes by invoking the same terms to identify a topic of "faun music" that promises to create new common ground between Ravel and Debussy. Rife with close readings that will satisfy the musicologist, the book also suits a more general reader through its broadly humanistic key concepts, immersion in contemporary art and literature, and clear, direct language.
Unmasking Ravel: New Perspectives on the Music fills a unique place in Ravel studies by combining critical interpretation and analytical focus. From the premiere of his works up to the present, Ravel has been associated with masks and the related notions of artifice and imposture. This has led scholars to perceive a lack of depth in his music and, consequently, to discourage investigation of his musical language. This volume balances and interweaves these modes of inquiry. Part 1, "Orientations and Influences," illuminates the sometimes contradictory aesthetic, biographical, and literary strands comprising Ravel's artistry and our understanding of it. Part 2, "Analytical Case Studies," engages representative works from Ravel's major genres using a variety of methodologies, focusing on structural process and his complex relation to stylistic convention. Part 3, "Interdisciplinary Studies," integrates musical analysis and art criticism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis in creating novel methodologies. Contributors include prominent scholars of Ravel's and fin-de-siecle music: Elliott Antokoletz, Gurminder Bhogal, Sigrun B. Heinzelmann, Volker Helbing, Steven Huebner, Peter Kaminsky, Barbara Kelly, David Korevaar, Daphne Leong, Michael Puri, and Lauri Suurpaa. Peter Kaminsky is Professor of Music at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.Buy the Book
Maurice Ravel's operas L'Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L'Enfant et les sortileges (1919-25) are pivotal works in the composer's relatively small ÷uvre. Emerging from periods shaped by very distinct musical concerns and historical circumstances, these two vastly different works nevertheless share qualities that reveal the heart of Ravel's compositional aesthetic. In this comprehensive study, Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, biographical and cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel's operas. In documenting the operas' history, setting them within the cultural canvas of their creation and pursuing diverse strands of analytical and thematic exploration, Kilpatrick reveals crucial aspects of the composer's working life: his approach to creative collaboration, his responsiveness to cultural, aesthetic and musical debate, and the centrality of language and literature in his compositional practice. The first study of its kind, this book is an invaluable resource for students, specialists, opera-goers and devotees of French music.Buy the Book
What is it about Bolero, Gaspard de la nuit, and Daphnis et Chloe that makes musicians and listeners alike love them so? Stephen Zank here illuminates these and other works of Maurice Ravel through several of the composer's fascinations: dynamic intensification, counterpoint, orchestration, exotic influences on Western music, and an interest in multisensorial perception. Connecting all these fascinations, Zank argues, is irony. His book offers an appreciation of Ravel's musical irony that is grounded in the vocabularies and criticism of the time and in two early attempts at writing up a "Ravel Aesthetic" by intimates of Ravel. Thomas Mann called irony the phenomenon that is, "beyond compare, the most profound and most alluring in the world." Irony and Sound, written with insight and flair, provides a long-needed reconsideration of Ravel's modernity, his teaching, and his place in twentieth-century music and culture. Musicologist Stephen Zank has taught at University of Illinois, University of North Texas, and University of Rochester. He is the author of Maurice Ravel: A Guide to Research.
Maurice Ravel, as composer and scenario writer, collaborated with some of the greatest ballet directors, choreographers, designers and dancers of his time, including Diaghilev, Ida Rubinstein, Benois and Nijinsky. In this book, the first study dedicated to Ravel's ballets, Deborah Mawer explores these relationships and argues that ballet music should not be regarded in isolation from its associated arts. Indeed, Ravel's views on ballet and other stage works privilege a synthesized aesthetic. The first chapter establishes a historical and critical context for Ravel's scores, engaging en route with multimedia theory. Six main ballets from Daphnis et Chloe through to Bolero are considered holistically alongside themes such as childhood fantasy, waltzing and neoclassicism. Each work is examined in terms of its evolution, premiere, critical reception and reinterpretation through to the present; new findings result from primary-source research, undertaken especially in Paris. The final chapter discusses the reasons for Ravel's collaborations and the strengths and weaknesses of his interpersonal relations. Mawer emphasizes the importance of the performative dimension in realizing Ravel's achievement, and proposes that the composer's large-scale oeuvre can, in a sense, be viewed as a balletic undertaking. In so doing, this book adds significantly to current research interest in artistic production and interplay in early twentieth-century Paris.Buy the Book
Demonstrating the vibrant nature of current research on Maurice Ravel, one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century French music, a team of distinguished international scholars provides new interdisciplinary perspectives and insights. Through historical, critical, and analytical means, the volume reveals the symbiotic relationships between Ravel's music and aesthetic, cultural, literary, gender, performance-based, and medical studies. While the chapters progress from French aesthetic-literary association, including Colette and Proust, to more extended disciplinary couplings, with American history, jazz, dance, and neurology, the organization is relatively free to enable other thematic links to emerge. The volume presents a refreshing variety of scholarly approaches to Ravel and his music, set within broad contexts and current musicological debates. In a Ravelian spirit, it is intended that the essays will serve collectively as a model for expanding the agendas of other composer-based studies.Buy the Book

You've heard of Restaurant Row and celebrity chefs like Paul Kahan, Stephanie Izard and Rick Bayless. They're culinary keystones that help make Chicago the world-class food city it is today. But with thousands upon thousands of restaurants in Chicagoland, there's lots to explore beyond the famous and familiar.

From February 12-22, over 100 productions will offer discounted tickets for $15-30, with many offering further discounts. Here are three CTW children's plays on our radar for Chicago Theatre Week 2015.

February is African American History Month in the United States and Chicago celebrates in a range of ways throughout the year. If you're preparing for a visit and you're looking to learn about the black experience in Chicago, you'll want to take a look at these resources.

It's ironic that, in the age of records' resurgence as a popular music format, DJs are using more software than vinyl than ever before. The production and accessibility of these programs may be at its highest rate but that classic needle-on-wax sound is missing from too many clubs around town.
Luckily, one Chicago events group isn't taking the shift in dance music lying down. Cage and Aquarium continues its Monster Eat Laptops series this month and will make an appearance at one additional event that beer lovers should take note of.

Time spent in the Loop is always time well spent, so why not spend an entire weekend enjoying all that it is has to offer? Amidst the many excellent hotels on Wacker Drive, you'd do well to spend a few evenings at the Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront. It's close by the Museum of Broadcast Communications, the Chicago Theatre, and a host of fabulous bars and restaurants, and a short jaunt on the Riverwalk may be just the thing for the curious visitor or local who hasn't checked it out in a while.

Whether you're here for the weekend or you've been here your whole life, you can never fully prepare for how cold a Chicago winter actually feels.
Luckily, the city is covered in stores that specialize in winter wear and outerwear. So if you find yourself ill-prepared for the brisk wind off Lake Michigan, here are your best bets to protect yourself from the elements.

It's hard to believe that just four years ago, BucketFeet was no more than an original idea stemming from a longtime hobby and a chance meeting. Now, the shoe line employs 24 full-time employees and is sold internationally.
BucketFeet shoes are unique in that, every design comes from a different artist across the world.
With retail shops in New York's SoHo neighborhood and Chicago's Block 37 and sales through Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and independent boutiques throughout the U.S., the stories that BucketFeet seeks to tell through its products aren't falling short of an audience.

Let's face it. Dietary restrictions are a part of dining out. But rather than a cumbersome burden, restaurants in Chicago have risen to the occasion in recent years to assuage restrictions and offer exciting options for vegans, individuals with gluten sensitivity, and more. No better time to explore these options than Chicago Restaurant Week, kicking off its two-week run January 30, featuring more than 300 restaurants throughout Chicagoland.

5 Guilty Pleasures
I've been tagged; thanks, Kirsty, this was fun. Check it out on http://www.theweaversnest.typepad.com/ The challenge is to confess 5 guilty pleasures. They say confession is good for the soul. So let's see. *grin* Here we go: 1. Afternoon sleeps Ah - Is there anything to compare with drifting off on the couch after lunch? Do NOT think I don't know how elderly that sounds but I have always loved it - I think even as a teen I loved it. Sleep - one of life's great pleasures. But in the afternoon, when there is "stuff" to be done? Definitely brings on guilty feelings. 2. Taking a whole day off to paint Absolutely NO reason for guilt about this but it arises anyway. Seems so self absorbed. 3. Watching TV during the day. I'm a sucker for stories. Always have been. When I was growing up, my nose was constantly in a book. Curled up on my bed, on a chair, sprawled full length on the carpet - always lost in stories. Now if I let TV step into that space - Feels good but GUILT rides close behind! 4. The time spent on my computer Sometimes, like a guilty little child, when I hear DH approaching, I will quickly leave my study and dash into the kitchen, hoping it would seem I had been busy there for a-a-a-ges. And he wouldn't even mind that I was blogging! How sad is that! And like now - stax of stuff to do in the house (When are the househelps coming back?! Sob!) and I "just popped in to check my mail" - That was about 2 hours ago. I rest my case: guilty feelings as I sit here - but oh, what a pleasure at the same time. 5. Those ghastly celeb gossip mags. Specially if there is anything on the cover to suggest that Ang and Brad are going to split up. I look around furtively first to make sure no one sees the trash I'm buying but I will read everything in there in record time. Even though I know they make up half (or more) of that rubbish. Actually, I realise that there is no reason why I should feel guilty about doing these things (with the possible exception of the mags!) But I think so many years of parenthood may have resulted in an underlying feeling I should always be busy; always be doing something productive; or doing something for someone else. And that may have made it hard not to feel guilty about self centred pleasures. So maybe I should borrow M's word fpr this year: just enbrace the pleasure and ditch the guilt. Hmm?

Members of Denbighshire County Council's Cabinet, meeting in Ruthin today (Tuesday) agreed the publication of a statutory notice to close St Mary's Catholic Primary School (Ysgol Mair) and Blessed Edwards Jones Catholic High School and for the Diocese of Wrexham to establish a new school on the existing sites from 1st of September 2019.
A formal consultation has taken place in recent months, with the vast majority of the responses overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal.
The Statutory Notice will be published on June 20th, with people then having 28 days to make any formal objections. The Council will then need to publish an objections report and a final decision on the proposal will be taken by Cabinet in the autumn.
Karen Evans, Head of Education and Children's Services, said: "This proposal reflects the commitment we have made in Denbighshire to improving performance in education and the quality of our school buildings. We want to make sure that we provide the right number of school places, of the right type and in the right location.
"There has been a lot of consultation and engagement regarding this proposal, including a public meeting attended by over 100 people. We also received 106 formal responses to the consultation, with 98 people in support. Whilst we are very pleased with the feedback that we have received to date, there is still a process to follow and a final decision will not be taken until later this year".

A new, hand-woven tapestry depicting the Unicorn at Bay has been unveiled in the recently opened James V Palace at Stirling Castle.
The display of the tapestry also marks a funding milestone for the charitable foundation that made the project possible.
The 3.3m by 3.8m tapestry is the fifth in the series of seven to be specially commissioned to hang in the newly opened attraction within Stirling Castle.
The designs are based on a collection of original 16th century Flemish tapestries titled The Hunt of the Unicorn held in the Cloisters Museum at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as research has shown that the Scottish royal collection also included a series depicting 'the historie of the unicorne'.

Mrs Gloria Samson in Makurdi, Benue State, committed suicide by drowning herself in River Benue on the 28th of Dec 2016. Her body was found on the 2nd of January 2017. She was a mother of two. She reportedly pleaded for forgiveness from her children and told them to tell their father to forgive her as well before committing the unfortunate act.
She had borrowed N400,000 from different micro-finance banks and invested it in MMM before the scheme suspended operations suddenly late last year.
"We we gathered is that she borrowed money from four different places and invested in MMM but shortly after MMM suspended payment to subscribers, she withdrew to her shell," the neighbours said.

- Wedding: February 2011
my fiancee and i will be flying back to the UK (god willing my visa go through) but we dont want to have to ship a bunch of wedding presents, how does one ask for just cash or gift cards??
my fiancee and i will be flying back to the UK (god willing my visa go through) but we dont want to have to ship a bunch of wedding presents, how does one ask for just cash or gift cards??
I don't think that you do! I think you (and your family) can say exactly what you said here: "Gosh, we're (they're) moving soon and I just don't know how we'll be able to ship everything". Pass that around by word of mouth–and people may get the hint. You could also register for gift cards!
Etiquette says it's rude to ask for cash only gifts.
For me, since my wedding was in another state from where we live, I was really afraid I would have mail back a lot of gift back home. I thought there was nothing I could do about it.
Suprisingly, I only had to mail 5 gifts. Not bad for inviting 130 people. Most of them gave us a card with money in it.
What I did (before the wedding) was I included a note in my registry. That said, "The bride and groom would really appreciated if you could send large gifts directly to their home in Seattle. Thank you in advance."
I think that got people to remember not to bring gifts. Then again, my registry was on my wedding website and I don't know how many actually went to the website, so therefore, maybe not a lot of people saw my registry. (Only about 10 people go me stuff from my registry, though)
Maybe it was just luck that 90% of the people got us a card and money.
So yeah, go with the word of mouth. Tell your mom, wedding party, everyone via word of mouth. Maybe add a little note in with the invitation asking if they could ship directly to your home address. That might give the hint to your guests to avoid getting big gifts.
i registered at rainfall of envelopes, which has a little statement that says we are saving for a house and since we have limited room in our current apt and been co-habitating and already have the staples, that should they feel complelled to give a gift, please consider the envelopes registry. and word of mouth….:)
Registring for gift cards and shipping packages is all fine and good if you live in the states. However, if you live overseas this becomes a real pita. Half of the gift cards don't work overseas because they don't ship there and the ones that do, you spend most of it on shipping.
And shipping an item is always risky because even if you label it as a gift, there's a big chance you'll still get wacked a customs fee. It's not a whole lot of fun when you receive a gift and have to pay almost the same amount to get it out of customs as it would have costed to just go and buy it. I had to deal with that awhile ago when my mother heard I was looking at a new iPod…
So yea, tough one. I'd probably just make sure that word of mouth gets out to people that you're going overseas and will have limited luggage space (or talk about how small houses are in Europe and how there's not a lot of room for extra stuff).
I'm just going to warn you now that you are going to get a whole lot of people responding saying that there's no way and you are very rude 🙁 I've already experienced a backlash on this topic here. But I fully understand your situation as I am in the same boat, and there's no way I'm shipping gifts from Canada to Korea.
Honestly, we directly put 'The bride and groom will be unable to transport gifts to Seoul' on the inivte. I don't think this is rude at all. It's the truth, and it's better that people know that before the wedding. I don't think our wording is asking for money – and if people don't want to get us anything, that's totally fine. It just states the reality that living overseas changes the gift giving custom for us.
Do you have a base currently in the UK where people could send gifts? (Like a family member's house?) If so, you could register your gift list at some local British department stores like John Lewis or Debenhams or perhaps make a wishlist at Amazon.co.uk. That might satisfy the people who want to give you a "boxed" gift– they can pay with their American credit cards, but ship to the UK address.
Where are you moving to in the UK? We live in Nottingham, in the East Midlands, and love it. (But we're moving to the US soon, as we're in the end stages of the immigration process– good luck with things on that end!!)
Are you going on a honeymoon? They have honeymoon registries that allow guests to give you cash for a small fee. We used travellersjoy.com.
jhphi's idea was what worked really well when my sister got married. Most people actually just ended up giving them money, but having that option really pushed them in that direction without any awkwrdness of telling them specifically to do so.
we are not going on a honeymoon right away, i dont think i would enjoy one to the max knowing i am moving countries…. BUT i never thought about places such as john lewis, thanks!!
well my job will put me in Brighton, but his is in central london, though we would LOVE to live in brighton it might be a wee expenisve for right now, his family is in bishops stortford. and good luck with things on your end jhphi!
I don't think that you should say anything but we didn't need a lot of things either. So we didn't have any bridal showers and we only registered for a few things. We told our parents that we would prefer cash so they explained to guests that we had basically everything we needed and since we were moving, we didn't want a bunch of huge gifts.
The topic 'how to ask for cash only presents…' is closed to new replies.

Windows 3.0, Happy 20th Birthday!
20 years ago today, Windows 3.0 was released.
These days, almost everyone is familiar with the "Start" menu in the left-bottom corner of their Windows desktop, the fancy themes, toolbars, and menus. All computers running modern Windows now have these features. But it wasn't always that way. Very few people remember about the days back before the "Start" button, when they had the simple desktop and the file manager.
Windows 3.0 was not really an operating system. It was a graphical environment with many application services. You had to start it by running the 'win' command from the DOS prompt. It relied on DOS not only for booting the computer, but for many basic services like file I/O.
As the third major release of the Windows platform from Microsoft, it offered improved performance, advanced graphics with 16 colors, and full support of the more powerful Intel 386 processor. A new wave of 386 PCs helped drive the popularity of Windows 3.0, which offered a wide range of useful features and capabilities, such as File Manager, Write, Paint Brush, Print manager and Program manager.
The Windows 3.0 GUI is also widely regarded as the reason why IBM killed its own OS/2 operating system. Microsoft launched Windows 3.0 despite the fact that it had signed a strategic partnership with Big Blue to support OS/2.
The rest, as they say, is history. Windows 3.0 was soon to be forgotten as Windows NT and Windows 3.11 were launched a few years later.
For those looking to have a quick play with the Windows 3.1 Program Manager, can visit Michael Vincent's website and fool around with the Windows 3.1 emulator:
See the Windows History at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/winhistorydesktop.mspx and at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Windows, and read more about Windows 3.0 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.0

This Winter has dumped quite a bit of snow already. Our big snow snow months are yet to come (March & April). As you can see, the Tipi looks more like an upside down snow-cone these days. Now is a good time to plan a little get away to 'Somewhere with a Beach'.
Today's cloudy but not as cold. There's a full eclipse of the moon tonight, but the skies will have to clear to see anything. A good day to work on songs. I'm working on a new one called 'No Bad Days' that has a bit of a Caribean feel. Guess I can dream of warm weather anyway.
That's about all for now. Probably go to the Lariat tonight to play a little Trivia with 'Nine Toed Bob' and the gang. Later, Corm

We need your help!
Several hurricanes and tropical storms have battered many of the islands in the Caribbean. As a result, there are a number of Islands that are 80-95% uninhabitable, leaving the residents without homes and food. Some of the current updates we've been getting is something that is beyond comprehension. Fuel shortages, power outages, food shortages are just a few scenarios.
We have now made our office available as an official drop point for non-perishable items that will be sent to the appropriate Consulates. We've also created a GoFundMe page where you can go and help by making a donation. All proceeds will be turned over to the Consulates to be divided as they see fit.
Thousands of people need our help and it is our duty and responsibility as humans to do our part, we'd expect and pray for the same if any of our families were similarly affected by such devastation.

Generation T
Posted 8 November, 06on:
The teenager across the street is interested in sewing. Naturally, I do what I can to encourage that interest. For her birthday, I gave her a book called Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform aT-Shirt. It is a fun, fun book! Everything starts with a basic tee which is then sliced and diced and put back together in a different way. Just the sort of thing I like to do with patterns. I expected M to like the book, but she positively squealed with delight. She asked her mom to take her to the thrift store to pick up a bunch of tees to play with. I asked to borrow the book back at some point because I want to play too.
1 Response to "Generation T"
You are the coolest mom/neighbor/teacher/friend EVER. What a neat idea! And I can't wait to see what you come up with when you borrow it!

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has tasked local manufacturers and industrialists to get involved in the Federal Government's public housing project by providing standard materials that can be sourced locally for the project.
The minister said that the Federal Government has placed embargo on the importation of 10 building materials for the project in order to encourage the local industry and therefore galvanize the ailing economy.
Fashola made the remark yesterday during the City People Real Estate and Housing lecture held at Planet One event centre, Maryland, Lagos.
He said: "We are going to standardize the fittings, the windows, the doors, roofing sheet, tiles and all the components. We are going to use those standards to stimulate local mass productions of fittings to meet our demands. Let us take a one bedroom flat as an example. One bedroom flat will have a door, a toilet with one door, a kitchen with one door. We will not use imported doors, we will not use imported windows, we will not use imported tiles, we would not use imported plumbing accessories, and we would not use imported paints. We have 10 of such items that we will not import. We are still looking for people who make sockets locally. We have found one that makes something similar and they said they can make it. If they do, then we will remove imported sockets from what we need. We want to challenge the Nigerian manufacturers and industrialists to get involved.
"After this, the next step will be who will build. From time to time we receive letters from developers who claim they can build 10, 000 housing units but they have not been able to show us where they built 100 units. We also have letters from road construction companies, may be because of the economic challenges who now want to go into building.
"Anybody who is a serious professional in the industry knows that logistics for road construction are different from logistics for housing. Thankfully, the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria has recommended to us accredited developers who will be allowed to participate. Like in UK Singapore that have time tested model of public housing, the government led the initiatives. Our programme will not be different. It will start with the government."
He hinted that the buildings when completed will be for people who do not have a house of their own, adding: "Sometimes, public housing is not defined by everybody having a house, it is more defined by how many people who move from rental to ownership and ensuring that those who own don't go back to renting houses. People can lose their homes when things get difficult and also could those who do not have, own houses when things get better. We need to gradually and consistently increase the number of tenants who become owners. We are focusing on people who are first time applicants, that is, those who do not have any because some people already have one and want another. These designs do not accommodate those who want mansions and duplex, we know they are there but they are not among the vulnerable people and not in the majority."
While eulogising the feats of the likes of former Lagos State governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and ex President Shehu Shagari for their giant strides in providing affordable housing for the masses, Fashola said the present administration also needs to learn from their mistakes.
He identified the challenge of acceptability as one of the banes of the past housing projects, adding: "We need to put in place a housing project that has wide acceptability. What we have done is to come up with 21 designs, moved it down to 12 and now we have come down to six. In the northern part of the country, we would be building one, two and three bedroom bungalow with courtyards that will respond very well to the sometimes extreme weather condition and respond also to the cultural ways of life of the people.
"In the Southeast, South-south and the Southwest, we are starting with a block of 15 flats and another block of 24 flats and some bungalows here and there. We are focusing on the most vulnerable and those who are in the majority. The project is not for civil servants alone. We should be clear about this. We are targeting farmers, artisans market women whose income fall within the salary of workers in level nine and level 15. If your salary falls within that level in the public sector, and or you are an artisan who is earning something within that range, you qualify. We are only using that as a benchmark."
He added that 24 states had already provided parcels of land for the project and that his staff is already at work in preparation in for the construction work scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of the year. He admonished the audience who interjected his remarks with thunderous amens, to stop praying and work.
"We are not measuring the project by the number of houses we can build at a time, but by our ability to repeat and continue what we have started and leave it as a project that will endure without having political colouration. We should stop praying and work. This is not time to pray but time to work. We can pray after our work to ask God to bless our labour. It is true that we are in a period of recession but that is not a sin. It only means that we slowed down when we ought to work. So, now is the time to work and not to pray."

The walk to my barn has never smelled better. Loving the spring flowers and beautiful weather.
Had the best, most flowy ride on Jet today. No media, as my videographer was at high school, but hoping to do a series of short videos of things we are working on and why in the near future.
The best moment of the ride today was when we halted after something that was a little hard but went pretty well. Jet was still relaxed and in fact, so relaxed, when I gave the reins to the buckle he reached down and started happily grazing for the very first time ever under saddle. Never thought this hot little horse would chill enough to do this, especially after challenging him with something harder. Lovely, lovely day.

|Bank Loans
Finance through a bank loan is the normal, or traditional, way of financing your business. While these loans are handy they are not available to every business. For example, a fairly newly established business simply may not have the assets to readily get a loan from a bank, even if they do, the standard collateral for a business loan is the business itself, which means that if you cannot make your loan payment, you risk losing your entire business. In addition, while you apply for a certain loan amount, that is all the financing you are entitled to. Of course, once that loan has been re-paid, you can always re-apply for another loan.
Factoring Companies
Factoring companies do not give loans, and the money you get from the factoring company does not put you in debt. Rather the financing you receive from a factoring company is based on money your business has already earned, but have not yet received. The factoring company purchases your accounts receivable, or part of them, for a certain percentage of their value, or what is known Transportation Factoring Costs – this is normally about 80-95%. The amount of money you can receive is based on the amount of money you have earned and the accounts receivable you are willing to "sell." Once you have set up factoring account it continues as long as you wish it too and the amount of money available to you even can grow as your business grows, giving you the ready cash you need to meet your own obligations.
What Are The Benefits Of A Factoring Company Versus A Traditional Bank Loan?
Not every business can benefit from factoring account financing because you have to have a business with accounts receivable, however there are many benefits for those who can access this type of finance.
1. You Won't Incur Debt. You don't incur debt as you do with a bank loan because the factoring company actually purchases your accounts receivable. One of the main benefits of this kind of financing is that your business credit rating and your personal credit rating won't be affected. Should the unforeseeable happen and your business fails, you won't have to worry about anyone coming after your personal as well as your business assets to pay off a loan. The debt goes onto your credit report with a bank loan, with only one missed payment adversely affecting your business credit: it would also affect your ability to secure insurance, and may reflect on your personal credit rating as well.
2. No Collateral Required. Another benefit of using a factoring company instead of a traditional loan is that you aren't required to provide collateral to the factoring company in order to secure financing, because the company "buys" the accounts receivables; not loans you money based on them. In addition, while the factoring company does run a credit check on your customers whose accounts receivables are offered for financing, the state of your credit is not an issue. This makes it easier for fledgling businesses to get the financing they need through a factoring company (as long as their accounts receivables are in good order) then from a bank, who may not feel that you have been in business long enough to be worth the risk of issuing you a loan. Also see Transportation Factoring Costs.
3. Receive Your Money Faster. Using a factoring company means that you'll get the finance quicker. The money will normally be in your account within 24 hours, once the factoring company is confident that your customers' accounts are likely to be paid. Borrowing from a bank begins with vast amounts of paperwork, the loan must be underwritten, and this can take ages before you're notified if the loan has been approved.
4.You receive interest up-front. With a bank loan interest continues to build, and this has to be paid the whole time you have a business loan; however with a factoring company there is no interest – they take it right off the top by deducting it from the total amount of receivable accounts. So you don't have to worry about monthly loan repayments, and you don't have to worry about the amount of interest payable, because all the money in the account is yours to spend.
As you can see, there are several benefits that makes considering financing through a factoring company over a traditional bank worthwhile. However, there are also a couple of other benefits that a factory company can offer your business is far beyond the scope of the bank. The main benefit is that once you've sold your accounts receivable to the factoring company, you are free from having to collect money owed by your customers. The factoring company takes over that chore, since it is now their money to collect. Factoring companies are very good at collecting these debts, saving you the time and effort that you need to devote to your growing company.
In addition, since the factoring company evaluates the credit quality of your customers prior to purchasing the accounts receivable you gain valuable information into which customers are likely to pay and which ones are not so likely to pay.
While a Factoring company is not the only way for your business to obtain the money it needs to keep growing, it does offer a type of financing well worth considering.

Swimming Tiki you say??? How so?
Yesterday I swam Tiki.....With my fairly new underwater i-pod I hit the pool to the sounds of Surf Music.
Surf Guitar 101 Episode 1 to be exact. I tested the SwiMP3 last week while listening to a different podcast and once I got used to the mix of underwater swimming noise with the I-pod it was on.
So yesterday I downloaded a bunch of Surf Guitar 101 episodes and hit the pool for a mile swim to the sounds of surf... Underwater enjoying a little of this ......Pollo Del Mar Flash of Green....
My mile swim couldn't get any cooler

Love? I bet that word is really familiar to you. Consists only 4 letters, but really difficult to define. One man said that love is all around us. And i clearly agree with that quote, everything we do will always come along with love itself.
I do photography, because I love capturing beautiful moments. I'm travelling because I love exploring new things (like culinary, culture, arts, etc). I like writing, because I love telling everything that happened to me. Well, in this case, I'm talking about hobbies.
How about God, my parents, family, friends, and boyfriend? I love them, more anything than this world. I love them so much until I couldn't explain the reason why I love them that way. They're too precious. And I think words or sentences won't enough to describe such a feeling.
So what about you, what do you love? Tell me about it.
Anyway, I'm listening to Another Rainy Day by Corinne Bailey Rae. Yes, rainy mood makes me love this song!

Even though I still have a decent covering of snow on the ground here in Michigan at zone 5 I am plotting and planning for a carnivorous bog garden I would like to install this spring. I would like to outline my plan and intended plants and see if anyone else (especially if you are a zone 5 Michigander) to critique or offer suggestions as to improvements and the feasibilities of the plan.
While I am not sure of the final dimensions of the bog I was hoping to have it be at least 2ft wide by 3ft long (although the exact dimensions will depend on how much liner is still leftover from a pond installed last summer). I was think maybe 18 inches deep, I would like it deep enough to be a better water reserve for summers and less likely to up and croak when we get a dry spell. What depth seems to work well for you if you have a bog in a similar climate as me?
I saw one recommendation of putting buckets or plastic storage containers upside down in the bottom to reduce the amount of peat/sand soil mix to fill the hole with and it was supposed to help retain water too. Anyone else try this before and does it actually help store water? Or just make a mess? I also planned on having the bottom layered with some straight sand for drainage as well too. I dont plan on putting any holes in the bottom or sides initially and instead would watch and see if it needs them later.
Plants which I found are supposed to be native to Michigan and I would like to include in the bog are:
Sarracenia purpurea
Pinguicula vulgaris
Drosera rotundifolia
Drosera intermedia
Drosera angelica
Depending on what I can get a hold of.
I would love to have more types of sarracenia but wondered if any of the hybrids with purpurea had a higher tolerance for the cold which could overwinter outside in zone 5? I also thought that now would be a good time to decide which Drosera species would be better suited and perhaps easier to obtain. I hoped maybe I could try to find some Drosera seeds and have time to stratify them for them to start germinating in the spring so I would have a decent amount of plants and be able to have a well planted bog instead of a scantily planted expanse of open soil with a small number of sad little plant islands in between.
All righty, I guess after this load of rambling and questions I should sum up the overall thread topics:
Does my construction plan sound ok? Any additional tips you discovered when constructing your bog? I want this to be low cost, low maintenance.
Finally about plant choice; are they appropriate or am I overlooking an ideal plant? I would love suggestions or comments, I have plenty of time before spring so I figured all the better for me to plan and maybe get it right and avoid later headaches.
Thanks for sticking it through to the end of this ramble and looking forward to your comments and suggestions.

Tenon to search for additional funds
Accountancy-based business services group Tenon has confirmed it will be looking to raise new capital in a bid to expand its range of services.
Accountancy-based business services group Tenon has confirmed it will be looking to raise new capital in a bid to expand its range of services.
Tenon directors have issued a circular to shareholders, which outlined that it 'continues in discussions with a number of other accountancy practices, teams and individuals.'
The group launched last year with a £50m purse and has subsequently acquired four firms in deals worth a total of £45m – of which £25m has been paid out in cash.
The decision to raise additional funds comes as a turnaround for the company, which turned down offers of funds before launching last year. It is expected Tenon will be looking to raise at least £50m for its expansion.
However, Tenon chief executive Ian Buckley said no decision had been taken regarding the size, time scale or method of raising the additional capital.
He added: 'The success of the early Tenon acquisition process has attracted further interesting acquisition and start-up opportunities for the company in the accountancy profession and other service businesses.'
The circular was issued after Tenon acquired the non audit business of BKL Weeks Green and Berkeley Jackson last month – catapulting the group into the top 20 accountancy firms based on fee income.
