2 jalapenos
2 cups cilantro
2 cups Italian parsley
2 cloves garlic (2 tsp minced garlic)
Juice of 3 limes
3Tbsp cooking sherry
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing the steak
salt/pepper to taste
2 lbs skirt steak
Preheat the grill.
Char the jalapenos on the stovetop with a gas burner or on a grill until the outsides are charred. Place them in a paper bag or a small bowl covered with a plate or towel and allow the skins to steam and loosen. Peel, stem, and seed the chilies.
In a food processor or blender, combine the jalapeños, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime juice, sherry, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse (or blend) until the mixture is a coarse puree. Taste and adjust for salt and blend again if needed.
Rub the steaks with olive oil and season very generously with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked to your eatin preference (medium well for our family)
Remove to a plate and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
Slice the steak across the grain with the knife at a 45 degree angle. Arrange on a serving plate and spoon some chimichurri over the steak. Serve with the extra sauce.

On the day we had Bradley baptized, we had two opportunities to get the cousins together for a little photo shoot. Maria had just turned one year, Lucy was 10 months and Bradley was 3 months.
First we got them together at Tiny's no 5. I think this is the best one:
At first Maria was NOT interested:
(Speaking of smiling... here's the ONLY photo that my usually grinning boy smiled for:)

It's official. Neon yellow is the colour of the moment this Spring ♥. I'm seeing it everywhere and I must say that I love it! Particularly because I already happen to have a few pieces this shade in my wardrobe so I'm already ahead of the trend - bonus! I love colour trends because they're the most versatile. You can go all out and wear a lot of it like in a jumper or just have neon yellow nails and still be rocking the trend. All of the high street stores have something to offer as you can see below!

I began painting as a young child...
...and it was clear that I had a knack for it. As time went on I experimented with many mediums and materials ranging from photography, to ceramics, to jewelry, to paint. I am always coming up with new ideas and ways to be creative. Currently I am creating a body of work inspired by food, farming and our environment. Please click here to view available paintings!
For contract and commissioned work: I have worked with many different types of clients on a wide range of projects including residential, interior designers and businesses. Projects have included faux marble and wood, raised relief ceiling treatments, murals, kids rooms, furniture, kitchen cabinets, canvas paintings, pet portraits and wall treatments (to name a few!).
NOTABLE CLIENTS INCLUDE: THE RITZ-CARLTON, POUND PUPPIES INC., THE NATICK CENTER CULTURAL DISTRICT and Mutual one bank.
I have lived in many different places around the United States and traveled quite extensively around Europe and the Middle East. Currently I am an artist, mother, foodie, holistic nutrition student and Reiki master living in Natick, MA. In 1997 I graduated from Skidmore College with a BS in Art Education. After graduating I moved to Austin, TX and worked as a production potter and then onto Amelia Island, FL where I worked professionally as a mural artist, faux finisher and furniture painter. I moved to Boston in 2004 and was an art teacher for Boston Public Schools before having children and completing my Reiki Master training in 2012. In 2012 I co-founded and co-owned Palettes paint and wine studio in downtown Natick, which was sold to the new owners in June of this year.

"Everything in life is luck." — Donald Trump
The fear came in increments. First the call about needing a second mammogram… "Just routine," the voice assured me.
But it wasn't. The radiologist ordered an on-the-spot ultrasound, so I knew we'd upped the ante. I watched the two ultrasound techs calibrate the spot they saw.
A few days later was the needle biopsy. Anyone who's been to Jiffy Lube, where a car is put on a lift, and the tech sits underneath, draining the oil, will recognize this scenario. First, I was strapped face down onto a table, the breast in question dangling through a hole. My neck and back silently screamed "Let me go!" while I waited for the doctor to arrive. When he did, I could barely see him, my face smooshed into the gurney. The hydraulics hoisted me ceiling-ward, and the doc slid his chair underneath to plunge in the needle. Did it hurt? Hell, yeah! But it was quick. Finally, I was released from bondage, trussed in a tight wrap, and sent home to await the results.
Days later, we were headed to our favorite waterside spot in Florida when my phone rang. Yep, cancer. The word banged around my brain even while the doctor told me it was small, probably just a lumpectomy, probably no chemo… but yes, I had cancer. I had cancer. I cried, my husband cried. We hugged, and then bucked up, sipped pina coladas and watched the boats skim along the intercoastal. I dreaded calling the family, but I knew they were waiting. My daughter sobbed. My son, the analytical one, went on line, did his research, and assured us all, as the doctor had, that this was just a blip on the screen of my life.
The next couple weeks meant consultations with an oncologist and a surgeon, pre-op EKG and MRI. I felt like a tumor with a person attached as an afterthought. I dutifully listened, followed directions, and worked on smiling.
After sleepless nights filled with "what-ifs", it was Halloween – lumpectomy day. Pre-op meant more unpleasantness, but nurses kept me mellow with some magic stuff in an IV. Meanwhile, my husband and daughter tagged along each step of the way, with nothing to ease their nerves. Our biggest concern: Had cancer invaded my lymph nodes, requiring chemo? Post- op, I was immediately alert enough to ask the question, and blubbered when I heard the answer I'd hoped for. Meanwhile, in the waiting room, my husband and daughter shed their own tears of relief. Since no one hangs around in a hospital very long these days, I was home by the time the trick-or-treaters began ringing the doorbell.
After a couple of weeks, I joined other cancer patients in the radiation waiting room. I had hair; some of them did not. My treatments were two-a-days for a week; theirs, once-a-days for a month. Wearing our little smocks, we watched morning TV, chitchatted about Oprah, and waited for our turns. First, there was the pro forma CAT scan to be sure my port hadn't wiggled out of place. I was slid into the metal casing and gazed at a beachy scene, palm tree and sunshine, taped to the ceiling while the machinery did its thing.
Then, my turn for radiation. The doc and technician led me into the chamber – a place right out of an old Flash Gordon episode. They hooked me up. Then I chose the day's music– Harry Connick? Natalie Cole? Barry Manilow? Someone pushed the on button, then skedaddled to avoid radiation's risks. I lie there humming along to Old Blue Eyes while the cell-killer zinged through my chest.
By early December, the ordeal was over.
My diagnosis was Breast Cancer Lite– no mastectomy, no chemo, no bald head. But even Cancer Lite isn't a great time.
October, when my news came, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – when the world is awash in perky pink. NFL players wear pink shoes, major leaguers swing pink bats. Pink paper towels, pink yogurt cups, pink M and M's, pink Everready triple A batteries called out to me while I shopped, "Breast Cancer! Breast Cancer! You have Breast Cancer!" just in case I had forgotten.
Now, seven years have gone by, and once again, it's October. No cures for breast cancer yet, and pink still runs rampant. Everyone is trying to "save the tatas!" Macy's posts ads for breast cancer pink "Fight Like a Girl" workout tops and "Warrior" yoga hoodies. Every NFL team sells its own version of pink team wear, for "awareness", but guess what? Only a smidge of the profits help breast cancer research and the rest lines the NFL's coffers.
I think of my friend Denise, no fan of October's avalanche of pink. She sailed through a mastectomy — no chemo required. A couple years later, cancer invaded her bones, and she endured several bouts of chemo and joked about avoiding pink ribbons. Next, a tumor attacked her brain; this was her death sentence. Was she not "fighting like a girl?" Wasn't she "warrior" enough? Ridiculous. Her death was not about her courage or her grace; she had plenty of both. It was about an ugly, cruel, evil disease.
I bristle at the obit page cliché "lost a courageous battle with cancer." Battle? "Battle" implies a loser, a failure, a less able combatant — one lacking the strength, the determination to vanquish the enemy. Cancer doesn't fight fair, no matter how hard one wars against it. Of course a positive attitude is a good thing, but it's not a cure.
I've never worn any pink survivor button like a badge of honor, or slapped a survivor sticker on my car's bumper. I've been no braver or no more optimistic than those who "lose the battle." A warrior? A fighter? No. I'm just luckier than so many others who don't get the good news I did.

Beauty that lasts forever
1 comment:

Very sweet, ladies. Thank you for these comforting words. We definitely need these words at our stage of life.If only we could truly convince ourselves of this we'll feel better.
On the other hand if women take this to heart, then we'll surely kill the cosmetic and related industry. Collagen, nip and tuck, lipo, all types of plastic surgeries, corsets, the endless array of miracle creams and pills that promise to wind back the time, beside the facials and the perms ad nauseum will be a thing of the past. This will create massive unemployment and we graceful agers will have to compete with much younger and fresher-looking women for jobs, male (ours, mainly) attention, and put up with age discrimination at the workplace and elsewhere.
One very good thing that may come out of it is that there will be less D O M like that unpleasant character in Ernesto's blog.

Cambrian Training Mid Wales Cup final
Llanidloes 24
Newtown 17
OLD rivals Llanidloes and Newtown contested a Mid Wales Cup thriller before the hosts ran out winners at Cae Hafren on Saturday.
The match represented the showpiece of the Mid Wales rugby season with a bumper gate ensuring a superb atmosphere as the two local rivals went head to head.
The reliable boot of Adam Price gave Llanidloes a dream start with the fly-half kicking two early penalties before Town hut back with a Huw Spear try.
Price added his third penalty of the game just before the break to give Llanidloes some breathing space.
Newtown started the second-half on top and stretched their hosts at every opportunity though Llanidloes remained dangerous on the counter with the final hanging in the balance.
Price eased the pressure with a penalty as Llanidloes established a seven point lead only for Newtown to react almost immediately with a try from Richard Andrews, converted by John Thurston.
The final now opened up with No8 Gareth Anwyl restoring Llanidloes' advantage with a close range try with Price's conversion attempt denied by the post.
Newtown hit back and levelled with Rowan Swanson crossing for an unconverted try with 10 minutes remaining.
Llanidloes were reduced to 14 men for the final minutes and with Newtown pressure building, full-back Carwyn Williams' clearance offered relief.
From the resulting line-out, Llanidloes seized possession with Anwyl charging over for his second try of the game, converted by Price, to win the day.
Head coach Adam Gaca said: "I'm massively proud of the boys for the effort they have put in this season and this trophy is the icing on the cake.
"They showed the dog and determination to not be beaten and we can look forward to a tough pre-season and plan for our campaign in the revamped second division next season."

Who discovers Duncan's body in Macbeth?
- print Print
- list Cite
In Macbeth, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth conspire to murder Duncan so that they can satisfy their "vaulting ambition," (I.vii.27). Macbeth is so influenced by the prophesies of the witches who have assured him that he "shalt be King hereafter," (I.iii.50), that he is both excited and disgusted by his own, as he calls it, "earnest of success,"(132). Macbeth's determination wanes, however, and it is up to Lady Macbeth to persuade him; which she does by suggesting that, if he does not murder Duncan and further his own aims, then he is a "coward in thine own esteem," (I.vii.43), and is less of a man for it. Lady Macbeth goes on to explain to Macbeth how they will kill Duncan and blame "his spongy officers," (71) for the murder which Lady Macbeth calls "our great quell," (71). She is confident that, by using the guards' own daggers, the guards will be found guilty. Macbeth is also sufficiently persuaded.
Having prepared everything for Macbeth and remarking that she would have killed Duncan herself, "had he not resembled my father," (II.ii.12), Lady Macbeth is shocked at Macbeth's apparent confusion after killing Duncan, especially as he has brought the daggers with him and so threatens their plan to blame, "the sleepy grooms," (49) and she has to return them herself and hope that their plan has not been compromised.
Macduff comes to wake Duncan and after a brief exchange with Macbeth, he goes to wake Duncan. Macbeth, trying to remain normal, chats with Lennox who remarks how the wind, during the "rough" night, has caused chimneys to blow down and even how there were strange "lamentings," and even "screams of death," (II.iii.54) that made it a terrible night. When Macduff returns to Macbeth and Lennox, he can barely contain his horror at having seen Duncan dead and "the life of the building" (67) apparently "stole(n)." Having discovered the body, Macduff wants to awaken the others and even tries to, ironically, protect "gentle" Lady Macbeth from the horror. Macbeth then tries to cover his tracks by admitting to having killed the guards but, he claims, he did so when he saw what they had done to Duncan. There are concerns about "treasonous malice," (131), and Macbeth will continue scheming in an effort to ensure his place as king, at any cost.
Macduff discovers King Duncan's body. He is led by Lennox to where King Duncan had slept. Once he arrives there, he is grieved at the sight of King Duncan's murder. He exclaims that King Duncan's life has been stolen. Then he yells for the others to awake:
Awake, awake! Ring the alarms bell. Murder and treason!
Banquo and Donalbain! Malcolm! Awake!
Shake off this soft sleep, death's disguise,
And look on death itself! Go up, go up, and see
The great destruction's image! Malcolm! Banquo!
Rise up as you would from your graves, and walk like spirits
To see this horror!
Then lady Macbeth stirs. She pretends to be offended by being awakened:
What's happened,
That such a hideous trumpet calls to summon
The sleepers of the house? Speak, speak!
Macduff does not desire to tell her what she already knows. Ironically, he refers to her as a gentle lady, claiming that the news will kill her:
O gentle lady,
It is not for you to hear what I can speak.
The repetition, in a woman's ear,
Would murder you as you heard it.
Then Macduff yells for Banquo, exclaiming King Duncan has been murdered:
O Banquo, Banquo!
Our royal master's murdered!

Shirt: Target — Jacket and belt: Thrifted — Skirt: eBay (Anthro) — Sandals: Dansko — Socks: Sock Dreams (Heather Bobby Socklings in Graphite) — Earrings: World Market — Bracelet: DIY
So! I mentioned that I've already managed to break my year-long shopping ban, and this shirt is one of the offending purchases in question.
So far in the new year I've done a fair amount of wardrobe culling, and I've been stricter than before about getting rid of stuff that's only kind of comfortable or that only kind of works with the rest of my clothes.
One of the results is that I've ended up with a severe shortage of plain, easy-to-wear-and-layer tops. Funky stuff I've got handfuls of, but basic? Nah.
So I bit the bullet and bought a small selection of v-neck tees from Target. I'm a little regretful at breaking my ban only three months into the year, but these shirts fill a need, so I'm not gonna beat myself up too much over it.
What do you think? If you've gone on a deliberate shopping ban before, how flexible or strict have you been with the rules?

1. the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
2. the Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute:
This question has always lingered in my mind since my childhood. All known definitions of GOD points to the most powerful in the entire universe. Implies, GOD is supreme to all humans, has higher level of thinking, and has control of everything in the universe.
One of the reasons why i turned atheist at a very young age - as early as age 12 - was the difference in the way GOD was defined and the way GOD was treated by the people around me. As another Sabarimala season comes to an end, I see crores of money devoted to shree Ayyappan. This money, obviously, goes into the devaswom board, which in turn goes to the bank accounts of the people ruling the board. In effect, the "holy" money can be seen as modified houses, luxury cars, and purchased lands.
Why is it that so many millions of people want to give the money to the corrupt ministers and the people who rule the board?? I am not just talking as to the case of Sabarimala, But there are numerous churches and temples, and mosques, who take in a lot of money from the devotees.
So, GOD loves money, which means Money makes GOD happy and in turn my money offered make GOD happy and will he hear my prayers and fullfill it.. Does it??
Forget money - anything - anything offered to GOD for fulfilling the prayers - I dont see any difference between GOD and the middle aged officer who needs a bribe for anything.
Is GOD so human to have emotions of anger, and emotion to be pleased, or to have a desire to punish the sinner??
If GOD is someone who rules the world, and if he is indeed the supreme power, and if he can change our lives - he is the same person who brings in hunger in Africa - He brings communal riots - He brings in natural disasters.
If that is his wish, I prefer not to accept him.
Even it means years of hell waiting for me. ( As if it isnt!! :P )
Sunday mornings are mine!! (So are other days, of course!)

Last week, a friend texted me an all-caps question: "HOW DO I GIVE MYSELF BANGS?!" But before I could respond with a bunch of don'ts, she sent me a picture of her slightly butchered new hair and a few blushing emojis. I mean, props to her for saying screw it and attempting a major cut with zero experience, but, you know, definitely don't try her approach at home. Because if you want to cut bangs at home, you need to do some research — and that's where we come in.

It's hard to believe that it has already been over a year and a half since actor and comedian Robin Williams decided to take his own life at the age of 63. Over the course of his acting career, Robin made us think as Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, made us cry as Patch Adams in Patch Adams, and made us laugh as the Genie in Aladdin.
These were just three of Robin's most iconic roles of the 100+ that he brought to life for us so perfectly. What many may not know, however, is that Robin was also an incredibly insightful individual; though he may have left this world physically, the indelible mark his spirit left on the world will not soon be forgotten, nor will his many powerful words of wisdom.
Here, in my opinion, are 15 of Robin Williams' most powerful quotes that will make you think, laugh, and cry just like his acting performances do:
1. "You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
We all have a zany side, which for most of us only makes an appearance in the comfort of our living room or shower when no one else is home. Rather than suppress that inner spark of madness, Robin reminds us to embrace it and let it always be at the core of everything that we do.
2. "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."
We can often feel like a tiny fish in a massive sea, so it only makes sense to feel as though nothing we do could ever possibly have a global impact. As Robin reminds us, however, that couldn't be further from the truth. Be and share the change you want to see in the world and you might just surprise yourself by how far it ripples out.
3. "Winning an Oscar is an honor, but, between you and me, it does not makes things easier."
Life is always filled with challenges, even when we achieve what we previously set out as a goal. Keep challenging yourself to grow and do more knowing that, while there will always be challenges in your way, you will always be able to conquer them.
4. "Tweets? That stuff kills conversation. And people taking pictures with their phone or recording you, sometimes surreptitiously, is creepy. They come up and just start talking to you, and you can see the red light on their phone."
This commentary on social media reminds us to live in the moment and not be so obsessed with the bells and whistles that technology continues to develop and wow us with. Take the time to interact with the people you love in person, and when out at incredible events don't be afraid to put the phone down and actually experience them.
5. "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone."
We all know the infamous saying "choose your friends wisely," and as cliché as it may be, it really is true. Let this quote remind you to surround yourself with the people in your life that lift you up and allow you to be who you truly are.
6. "I do believe in love; it's wonderful – especially love (the) third time around, it's even more precious; it's kind of amazing."
Robin makes us laugh through this social commentary on the state of marriage and divorce rates in the world. No matter what your life has and will continue to throw at you in the realm of relationships, keep your head up and enjoy the experience for what it is.
7. "Reality: What a concept!"
Robin makes us question our entire existence with this short but impactful quote. No matter your stance on the true nature of reality, let this quote remind you that life doesn't need to be taken so seriously and to be sure to enjoy the ride on occasion.
8. "Politics is so personal, vicious and immediate, how are you going to get anything done? Even the local politics where I live have gotten so ugly."
The state of the political system is certainly questionable in most parts of the world. Perhaps it's time we re-evaluate our current systems and see whether or not they are capable of providing the change we require to survive and thrive.
9. "I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you."
Robin comically reminds us to stand behind what we've come to know as true and not be so easily wavered by popular opinion. We all have our own internal guidance and insight which are more than capable of shaping an intelligent stance on any matter or issue.
10. "Sometimes over things that I did, movies that didn't turn out very well – you go, 'Why did you do that?' But in the end, I can't regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it."
Life can very easily be filled with regrets, but as Robin reminds us, there is a lesson and bright side to everything that we experience. Rather than carrying the weight of the past with you in the present, let it go and be grateful for the role it played in making you who you are right now.
11. "The essential truth is that sometimes you're worried that they'll find out it's a fluke, that you don't really have it. You've lost the muse or – the worst dread – you never had it at all. I went through all that madness early on."
We all face doubt and self-consciousness where we let the opinions of others shape so much of how we feel. Remind yourself that you have already accomplished a lot in this life, and are always going to be capable of doing even more.
12. "Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting."
Nothing better than a simple reminder to embrace and make the best of right now. We will never be as young as we are right now, so if not now, when?
13. "You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to."
Another reminder that we all go through trials and tribulations in life. Even though they may seem overwhelming, they always have a purpose and the power to make us into even stronger individuals when we rise above them.
14. "Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for."
Academic pursuits will always play an integral role in keeping the world running, but we must not forget to embrace and enjoy the beauty that love has to offer. In the end, it is likely going to be the loving moments we shared that we will remember more than our academic accomplishments.
15. "See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time."
I wanted to end off on a comedic note since that only seemed fitting given the number of times that Robin made us laugh over the course of his life. The strand of truth that can be taken from this quote is how sexually obsessed we've become as a society, both men and women, and how we need to be sure to balance it out with intelligent decisions.

Yet another day today when I was complained of spending too much time on the PC. I used to be a TV freak some time back. In my childhood used watch even vayalum vazhvum, a farming techniques program over studying. Then I felt there were things to be learnt from TV more than texts which talked of trignometry, akbar and Praire's wheat produce. Honestly I have never had any use for any of these all my life ever since.
Now the new fad(?) is PC. I cant turn away from a device, that has all my photos, all my favorite songs, all my favourite reads. How I love the music without those CD covers, unmarked cassette wrapping paper which simply says "Sony" or "TDK" and I am straining my memory to remember what it contains. I contain atleast 20 such cassettes even now.
The sad part and really the shocking part is, most if not all of the stuff I have in my PC is free. I hope this becomes a PayTV kinda scenario, pay back to the for all the goodness I get. How I would like to pay Re. 1 to Billy when I listen to We didnt start the fire.
Its too good to be free honestly!
Most of the artisitic minds in the planet are hidden behind factories, programmer's cubicles, management boardrooms, rickety offices. The turbulence here is that of an artist emerging out of a serenely settled engineer's life...

Ganging against Ganguly
Its been a while since I posted (as though the world is worried about it *ahem*). But the injustice meted out to Ganguly has aroused me out of the slumber in to logging in and go blogging!
Its the umpteenth time when the selectors have ignored a man with decent performances in the omnipresent need to "look at the future". It happened to Kumble, Laxman and many others. The lucky albeit undeserving ones like "whats his name that underaged wicketkeeper" had a windfall flouting their oath.
Its not fair to drop a performer whatever the merits of the argument are. We as a country are so deprivated coz we dont value performance and think foreigners are better.
I hope for the country's sake that better sense prevails

Characters That Made My Year – Takashi Natsume (Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Two)
Continuing on with the run down of my favourite characters of the past year then…….spoilers, blah, blah…..
On the second day of Christmas, behold as I go all mushy over Takashi Natsume from Natsume Yuujinchou San!
I love Natsume Yuujinchou. It's a series that I just liked after its initial season, but as I've watched & read more of it, I just fall more in love with this lovely, atmospheric little series. It's pretty unusual for me to really like episodic shows that are this slow and sedate given my preference for action shows with things exploding and OTT flamboyant characters, but Natsume wormed its way into my affections and is now a firm favourite – really looking forward to another season!
Natsume himself is probably the main reason I love the series – the boy is moe incarnate. Now normally I'd be saying that a character being moe was a negative, but Natsume has a good balance of pure moe & actual personality that just turns me into a pile of fangirl goo…….and yes I am the first to admit that I am completely biased in this respect, if Natsume was a girl I wouldn't like the show half as much! The show follows Natsume as he accepts his ability to see youkai as part of who he is and then as he gradually opens up to others both human and youkai – its simple but very effective & has been known to reduce me to tears on occasion.
This year saw the third season of Natsume Yuujinchou, and the moment I've picked as my favourite comes in episode 12 when it's revealed exactly how Natsume came to live with the Fujiwara's. The episode highlights just how far Natsume has come over the past three seasons, as the Natsume of the past is a lonely child plagued by the things he sees and frightened of speaking to anyone about them. It was pretty heart breaking to see Natsume shut himself off from people, reluctant to ask for anything for fear of being deemed a nuisance and passed on to yet another set of distant relatives. Natsume instinctively recognises that Touko is a very nice, caring lady when she approaches him about moving in with her and Shigeru, and its for this reason Natsume is wary of reaching for the warmth the Fujiwara's are offering him – he doesn't want his strangeness to destroy their happy home. The moment at the end of the episode when Natsume is in hospital recovering from being attacked by a youkai and finally voices his desire to take what the Fujiwara's are offering him had me teary eyed – it's a major positive step for Natsume as it's probably the first time since his parents passed away that he actually asked for something. It was just a very touching moment that demonstrated how much Natsume's life has changed since then.

Nice! I was unsure of watching Natsume but after the first five episodes or so I was hooked! And yeah Natsume is a great character, and he is always willing to help anyone.
December 17, 2011 7:52 pm
I can't believe I waited so long to watch Natsume! Finally watched all three seasons over Spring-Autumn of this year and now the show as a whole is one of my favourites, and this is mainly due to the characterisation and development of Natsume. I also look forward to seeing what season 4 has in store. 🙂

EMERSON Thome believes Bolton must banish their Carling Cup final misery by chasing qualification for the UEFA Cup through the Premiership.
Still trying to come to terms with the heartache induced by Sunday's defeat by Middlesbrough in Cardiff, the Brazilian defender admitted that it was hard to take any crumbs of comfort from the 2-1 Millennium Stadium defeat.
Thome, in particular, had reason for feeling miserable, as it was his challenge that resulted in the penalty that eventually decided the encounter, but he has refused to allow himself to wallow in self-pity.
On the contrary, Thome is determined to ensure that the season will finish with a bang rather than a whimper for Sam Allardyce's men and he is in no doubt that Bolton have the players to achieve such an ambitious goal.
"There are still 12 games left in the Premiership and we all still have a job to do," he said. "We have had a fantastic season so far, and we have to make sure we maintain that and forget about the Cup final.
"In the second half they kept catching us on the counter attack but it is forgotten now. It is not like the FA Cup final where it is the last game of the season. We just have to cope and re-group."
Though he feels Bolton can mount a challenge for a European push, Thome is unsure what the future holds for him. Distraught that he pocketed a loser's medal, the 31-year-old is wondering if he will get a chance to correct that statistic.
"I don't know if I am going to play in another final," he pondered. "I don't even know if I am going to be staying in the country. My contract is up in the summer and I don't know where I am going.
"I could be staying with Bolton, I could be going back home or I could be going elsewhere. I've had a fantastic time during my six years in this country, apart from the relegation with Sunderland last season and the injuries I picked up."
Jussi Jaaskelainen, meanwhile, shares Thome's outlook on how Bolton should approach the rest of the season. As he points out, moping around will not do any good and will only undermine their recent efforts. "We will just get back into training and focus on Saturday," said the Finnish goalkeeper. "It's as simple as that. I don't think it will be hard to get it out of our system. It is gone and we can't dwell on it. We didn't win and it is simple as that.
"We just have to keep focused on the league and make sure that we can keep going up the table and doing as well as we have been doing in the last few months. We can't afford to let this ruin things."
Likewise, Kevin Nolan is already eyeing Saturday's fixture against Birmingham as being the perfect starting point to launch a final push to cement Bolton's place in the Premiership top 10 or higher.
"We have a big game coming up," said the midfielder, who is also Bolton's leading scorer with 10 goals. "The Cup is gone now and it is all about us trying to get into Europe through a place in the league and we'll see if we can do that."
Thome looking forward

Typical, the microwave which in fairness has had its days packed in on us. We had already been looking at new ones but there are so many to choose from. Now we have no choice but we are undecided if to get a normal bog standard microwave or go for one of the new combination oven ones.
Now the kids are getting older and I will be going back to work soon I want something they can use. I feel sick at the thought they might use the cooker but they will need some food when they get home. They are both big eaters so a snack wouldn't be enough and I don't want to spend all my spare time making slow cooker meals for them to just microwave. I want then to be more independent and learn to make things themselves. The new conventional ovens are like a proper oven and allow you to cook in them rather than just re heat.
There are so many too choose from on the market today there is a great range of combination microwaves out there. We particuylary like the idea they can make cheese on toast. Kaitlin is quite a good cook though so I am sure she could use it to make other things as well with practice.
We came across this video in You Tube of cheese on toast being made and it looks great.
The combination ovens compared to a bog standard microwave have loads of other features as well that appeal to us and we steam fish all the time but I hate making little tin foil parcels. The combination oven will get rid of that part for me and we can make fish and med veg so much easier to make.
Price is such an important factor so I was really surprised with the range of combination microwave oven by Panasonic and the price range. You don't have to break the bank to get one and can pick one up for around £200 or spend more depending on what spec you require and what your budget is.
After only a little research I think I am defiantly going to invest in a combination oven. It's going to take that worry away for me when I go back to work that the kids aren't eating junk and can eat something proper without hurting themselves or my kitchen.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - December 15, 2014 – Galerie 1504 is pleased to present a
group exhibition of new works featuring all Gallery artists. The "Seasoned en Vieux" (A Seasoned View) exhibition will run from December 19, 2014 – January 13, 2015
|"Baby Boy"~Farris Armand
Galerie 1501 partners with Reinments of Power & through the generousity of HRI Properties in presenting "Seasoned en Vieux" or "A Seasoned View" is a multi-faceted exhibit with a number of thought provoking themes that are meant to dispel the common thought of our society as a whole. One of the most prevalent of these themes being that individual talent does not simply dissipate with age, but rather it grows in wisdom and perspective as time passes. Just as this theme is meant to dispel these specific misconceptions in both the creative realm and general society, it is also intended as a caveat of positive change for senior citizens & their allies, to dispel the myth about the ones who are entering their encore years with panache!
This exhibit is a part of the The Fig Tree Project pop-up series, spotlighting various collections of art for a limited time in alternative spaces.
Galerie 1501, is located at 1501 Canal Street on the first floor of the historic Texaco building bordering Faouborg Treme & downtown New Orleans. HRI Properties has kindly donated this temporary exhibit space as a part of their mission to enhance the lives and sensibilities of their tenants, as well as, creatively enhance the current Canal Street Renaissance process.
"Seasoned en Vieux" has a synergy made up from varied disciplines; such as photography, studio art, studio art quilts, sculptures, muralists, and wearable art form manifested in the ingenious styling of Alfred Tumblin & Beesiyge Ogden. This team gives homage to a time where fine craftmanship & styling was vibrant & alive mixed with a modern twist!
"White Goddess Coat"~Alfred Tumblin & Beesigye Ogden,artists
The exhibit will also feature pieces by New Orleans' own, Terrence Osburne, Michele Lambert, "visual poet" artist Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney, artists Farris Armand & Sheila Phipps. Many of these works are city inspired pieces that reflect the extraordinary history and traditions that have set the city of New Orleans apart from anywhere else in the world.
This exhibit is a part of the The Fig Tree Project pop-up series, spotlighting various collections of art for a limited time in alternative spaces. "Seasoned en Vieux" will run through January 13, 2015. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., and by appointment.
For additional information please contact Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney,curator at 504.645.6168 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Costa Smeralda is a coastal area and tourist destination in northern Sardinia, 55 km (34 mi) long and covering more than 30 km2 (12 sq mi). With white sand beaches, a golf club, private jet and helicopter service, and hotels costing up to US$2000–3000 per night in the peak season, the area has drawn celebrities, business leaders and other affluent visitors.
The main towns and villages in the area, built according to a detailed urban plan, are Porto Cervo, Liscia di Vacca, Capriccioli and Romazzino. Archaeological sites include the Li Muri "Tomba dei Giganti" (Giants' Grave).
Each September the Sardinia Cup sailing regatta is held off the coast. Polo matches are held between April and October at Gershan near Arzachena. Other attractions include a film festival in Tavolara and a vintage car rally.
Development of the area started in 1961, and was financed by a consortium of companies led by Prince Karim Aga Khan. Spiaggia del Principe, one of the beaches along the Costa Smeralda, was named after this Ishmaelite Prince.Architects involved in the project included Busiri Vici, Jacques Couëlle, Savin Couëlle and Vietti.[Source]

Along with great blessing comes great sacrifice. Consider Mary. She was told she would be the mother of the long-awaited Savior. This would mean great honor, yet with this blessing she would also be scandalized. Even Joseph did not believe that she could be pregnant without knowing a man, never mind the wags and gossips of the town. People would shake their heads and point their fingers, laughing at her and mocking her situation.
This great blessing meant the loss of normal life. Imagine raising a perfect child, taking Him to the play areas and being compared to other children by mothers who could not help but notice His obedience. Imagine realizing that your child would die on a cross, not for His own guilt but for the sin of the world. Imagine Him not answering your call because He was with what He called His family, a pack of sinners who had repented.
And yet Mary responded to this incredible challenge to her dignity, reputation and faith with a song . . .
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name" (Luke 1:46–49).
Mary is a rebuke to me. When life hands me a blessing, I tend to focus on the sacrifices that go with it, even have pity parties over them instead of a victory party celebrating the blessing. My negativity bothers me, yet this perspective seems such a part of who I am that all my efforts to change it have been useless. The only thing that helps is spending time with those who are gifted to see the positive side of things, those who will point me toward the blessing instead of how much this is costing me. Such people are rare.
Mary had a wondrous faith, even a matchless faith. No one was ever blessed as she was nor experienced the challenges that went with that blessing. Only her faith in the goodness and purposes of God sustained her. Before the events told her by the angel could happen, she was singing praises. Her soul glorified the Lord and her spirit rejoiced in God her Savior.
At the very least, unbelief would have said, "Wait and see" or "This is not a good thing." Fear would have driven her to silence and shame. But faith could not wait, complain, or be silent. Faith must sing, and sing she did.
Sometimes I wake in the morning with a song in my heart. I'm no singer, but the song rattles around inside my head and may even come out and be expressed (off key most times). The devotional reading suggests that a person like me might be tempted not to sing it until my hopes are accomplished and my small faith has been exchanged for fact. But that is not the case. If the song is there, so is the Holy Spirit who put it there. Because of Him, I must sing and can sing. Because of Him, my heart ignores the sacrifice or can rise to the challenge of it. In my normal self, this would never happen. I need the Holy Spirit.
I'm thinking this was the same for Mary. The same Spirit who blessed this virgin with a child in her womb also put the song in her heart and stayed there with her so that she could sing it. This is why her soul and spirit could magnify the Lord and rejoice in Him. He fills hearts and minds with Himself and gives songs — songs when the mercy is accomplished and songs for when the mercy is still only a promise. Because of Him, I can sing praises to God, even in the hours that require great sacrifice.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name . . . (source)

GOD even speaks to you sometimes when you need healing
when i couldn't walk I didn't know what was wrong all i know i was getting shooting pains in my foot in the middle of the night and i wanted to cry so bad from how bad the pain was but God spoke to me even though i wasn't expecting him to .he told me not to cry cause the devil wants me to . i couldn't walk on my leg for a few days and i was on crutches i hated it couldn't really do anything for my self. i went to a doctor who told me i would be on crutches most of my life i didn't believe him! it was hard relying on other people trying to do stuff your self and your on crutches when i tried to put shoes on it killed me i couldn't even walk how bad it was and the doctor didn't help just put a bandage on my foot that made it worse. God told me to tell people i was healed even though i wasn't so i told people that I didn't even know i was on crutches . i told them i was and told them i was healed even though i wasn't the next day i could walk . praise God !!! I don't know how many months later but the foot problem came back in the middle of the night no one was up but me so all i know my foot was in pain and i didn't want to lay down i wanted to walk i still had my crutches from last time but didn't want to use them when i woke up i told my mom and tried to sleep off the pain when i woke up my mom was ready to take me to the emergency room to see what was going on so as I'm getting ready then God spoke to me he told me not to go to the doctor hes going to make me walk and told me to get out of bed so i did pain free !!! i threw out my crutches never need them again ! PRAISE GOD!
God can also heal you at church
God can also heal you at church .
i received a healing in church
i had problems with bladder infections in the past went to the doctor they gave me medicines and everything was alright they then one SUNDAY i was going to church was getting ready. I washed my face brush teeth etc when i noticed i was bleeding again i was so scared i was crying i got on my knees and told God i cant take this anymore . my mother knocks on the door tells me to get ready we're leaving so i told my self i'm not going to worry about it I'm going to church to praise God . i walked in with a smile on my face and was more concerned about hearing the sermon and a lady there told me out of the blue that "God wanted me to tell you hes going to take care of you "(can't remember the exact words but it was similar to that ) after the sermon was over usually people stand in line and preacher prays over them.
i never done this before (was kinda new to church and i never got in line before ) so then i went up there and when it was my turn the preacher looked at me and got one of the church ladies to touch my stomach.i don't remember everything he was saying all i remember he said you told God you cant take this any more
(my exact words i said when i was crying before i left my house !)
then he said dry up and i felt like a shock in my body and the blood stopped. God knew what was going to happen before i did and he healed me he was in control of the situation.
close back up to normal that was an instant miracle !

Hino Motors, Ltd. (Hino) launched its new medium-duty truck model in Indonesia, which is the first iteration of its modular design products. This is the first time Hino will be launching the production of a new model outside of Japan, according to the company.
Hino's customers in Indonesia have utilized Hino trucks and buses for over three decades. Sales of the light-duty "market best-fit vehicle" truck, introduced in 2010, has grown steadily to the point where the sales volume of Hino vehicles overall is now second only to that in Japan, according to the company.
The development of market best-fit vehicles based on modular designs was one of the initiatives driving the company's growth strategy, which was included in the mid-term corporate plan announced in April 2012. Commercial vehicles represent capital assets that customers use for their business operations.
Because there is great diversity in the types of cargo as well as the applications that need to be addressed in the commercial vehicles market, this results in high-mix low-volume production, where the number of models continues to grow as the number of units per model remains small, according to Hino. In addition, the kinds of parts tend to increase with the number of models.
In response to these issues, Hino introduced the modular concept in its development process, where parts and components are categorized as either core parts that form the foundation of a model, or peripheral parts used for making customizations to vehicles based on customer requests.
By designing core parts for shareability and producing them in Japan and increasing the number of locally sourced parts, the company said it has gained the ability to produce a diverse range of vehicles in locales that are geographically nearer to their ultimate market destinations. This enables the company to deliver models that best suit customers' needs at shorter lead times. Over the next few years, Hino plans to expand the regions and markets where it provides these new modular models.
The company also said it's working toward optimizing its global production systems.

The Ultimate Gift
Robb Report has published its annual Ultimate Gift Guide for 2015, with 23 of the most fabulous gifts you can imagine. First on the list is Leaf Cay, a 35-acre private island in the Bahamas, priced at a cool $175 million. Jointly conceived by Auberge Resorts and SB Architects, and offered for sale by Bahamas-based real estate brokerage Cross and Moske, Leaf Cay is envisioned as a five villa private resort on a private island once owned by actor Nicolas Cage. Custom-designed by SB Architects, the resort will be developed and managed by Auberge Resorts Collection.
Sited just south of Exuma Sound, Leaf Cay is long and narrow, meaning a vast proportion of its acreage is made up of shoreline, with three perfect white sand beaches. Although the resort will be custom-designed to fit the owner's vision, the initial concept includes an 8,000-square-foot main house, four guest villas ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet scattered across the island, and a whole host of amenities, including several pools, a pool house, spa, fitness center and yoga pavilion, dock and marina, an observation tower, children's tree-house club, and a helipad.

Danish resistance denied.
Posted by Exile on January 13, 2007
Once in a while I stumble onto information that I find deeply fascinating and relevant. And occasionally I find something deeply unfair and undemocratic.
I have done so today.
There is an organisation here in little Denmark that is apparently not allowed to demonstrate peacefully and freely on the streets of Denmark. This organisation is made up of ordinary Danes with a peaceful and democratic message to all, but the Danish Minister for Justice, Lene Espersen, is denying them the right to publicly, and peacefully, go out and demonstrate by forbidding them to demonstrate because she fears for public order. Not from the demonstators, but from their critics.
Violent critics.
She fears the demonstration would cause public disorder because these peacable demonstrators would be attacked by their opponents.
The organisation is called SIAD. Which freely translates into English as "Stop the Islamification of Denmark".
I find it strange, that Hamas, Hezbollah and any other Islamic group can freely demonstrate in the middle of Copenhagen, waving their terrorist flags and carrying their hateful banners, burning our flag and inciting to murder unopposed, while a home grown grass roots movement that opposes the islamification of their own society is banned from the same right to protest. Has Denmark gone mad? No. Only the politicians, especially Lene Espersen.
Our democracy has to be protected. It has to be defended. The politicians will not do this for us. Their main interest is to stay where they are for as long as possible and not make waves big enough to threaten their huge income or their beloved portfolios. To hell with principles. This is about money and power. And we wouldn't want the ordinary man on the street to find out that he is being slowly and surely sold down the river by political indifference.
I would point out, that if they allow the islamists to eventually overrun this land, they will be equally out of a job as most of the rest of us. Unless they convert to Islam.
Perhaps the 910 group would chime in on this and bring some international pressure to bear on the Minister for Justice to allow these brave Danes their right to free protest? A thousand e-mails from outside the border might make them sit up and take notice. In the mean time, I will join this band of democratic champions and do my bit here.
There is a limited amount of information available on SAID's website. I suggest one take a look. The site is in Danish.
The Ministry for Justice, and thereby Lene Espersen, can be contacted by e-mail at email@example.com
Drop them a line, asking why they denied SIAD their democratic right.

Here is a horrible english translation (automatically done) if some of the SIAD site: Exile, please feel free to delete it, or someone; a better translation may help us to know more about the situation.
Meanwhile, we have an announcement up in the 910 Forum, I'll blog on it as soon as I can get more info, and I have written to the Ministry of Justice, asking them to please explain their decision.
(Danes, help translate!)
We'll arrange a new demonstration as soon as possible.
This time without notifying on it the police.
We'll turn up unannouncedly and complete our demonstration that we did in Gellerup when we got no to demonstrate there.
on Dec. 16th we completed our first Forlang- => din_N-country-to-behinds demonstration, which was sent TV2 nationally.
Interested it wish to participate can contact us.
The Minister of Justice's answer for Peter Skaarup – and SIAD's answers for The Minister of Justice Justitsministeren §79 in Grundloven acknowledges, but invokes oneself emergency right because the government cannot manage the people, they have invited into the country..
About Justitsmin.
answer If they declare emergency-retstilstand it's well first to be treated by The Danish Parliaments and courts, where one defines who the emergency right deals with.
Is it all the country or there is it did areas decide?
Is it all Danes who are dealt with by the law or there is it did decide organisations?
Which period which period the emergency right in is valid it indeterminately or is it limited?

As a UK citizen, I am alarmed that a fellow EU member state is preventing the right to freedom of expression in this way. I am concerned by the apparent policy of appeasement that seems to be at the centre of the Danish Government's strategy to deal with this issue.
I have therefore written to the Danish Minister of Justice to expression my concerns.
Freedom of expression lies at the centre of democracy in the EU. If governments of EU member states act to prevent this right then, in my view, they are acting as instruments of tyranny.

Update from SIAD
Today (Saturday 27. January) we had planned a follow up to our meeting (near Copenhagen) that was attacked by left-wing extremists two weeks ago. We had booked the same municipal venue but on Thursday we received at call from the manager of the place, who announced that he had received threats of such gravity that he was forced to cancel our reservation. Even the expressed confirmation from the police that they would do their duty and protect the meeting was not enough to persuade the manager, that no harm would come to either building or inventory.
Hence – with less than two days to reorganise, we weren't able to find other accommodation and were forced to cancel the meeting.
This is apparently what Denmark has come to. All that the henchmen of the Islamists need to do is a bit of sword-rattling to scare of both civilians, municipal officers and the law.
We will of course strike back to the best of our abilities. But when it comes to the means of action, we have a big disadvantage over our opponents: We have to adhere to the law; they apparently don't.
If nothing else – this is a blunt admission of failure on the part of our government, especially the minister of justice, who – as head of the police – seems to be unable to uphold the constitution that she was sworn in on.
Since our appeals (read demands) of adherence to law and constitution are not sinking in, we ring out an appeal to all the free world, to give our minister of justice Lene Espersen a wake up call. Let her know about her infringement of the law and remind her, that she was sworn in to uphold the constitution.
As a reaction on the events of January 13 where our peaceful political meeting was scattered by bottle throwing anarchists, we decided to file an official report over the justice department and the head of local police in Copenhagen to the chief of the national law enforcement. Our claim is that due to lack of political will they have failed to secure our right of free speech and assembly.
This is both a dereliction of duty and a clear infringement of the constitution.
In the light of these events we completely concur in the notion, that international corporation is needed to fight the bad seeds of Islam which is now so deeply rooted in the soft political ground of Europe, that all democratic powers of the free world will have to pull together to uproot this pest of modern society.
Regarding our homepage on http://www.SIAD.dk
As has been noted the text is entirely in Danish. To serve our international friends and associations we are in the process of writing an introductory text in English. It will be up as soon as possible. Check in with us now and then.

We love giving ourselves awards. From the Olympics to Crufts via the Oscars and Whitbread, there's nothing we like better than working out who's best at something and slapping on the ribbons. It works for everything -- except, it seems, programming.
With its inerrant nose for publicity and insatiable appetite for fresh brains, Google is stepping into the gap. After successful stints in America and India, Code Jam has finally reached us old world Europeans. It is competitive programming at its most fiendish: not only must coders produce efficient programs under extreme time pressure, but the quality of the results must be high enough to withstand aggressive probing by the other competitors. The winners get cash, fame and a chance to merge with the Googleplex.
But if it's such a good idea -- and Google clearly thinks it a success -- why don't we have our own native software competitions? Software design as an engineering discipline does come in for its share of gongs. The Royal Academy of Engineering has innovation awards, as does the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Respectable, corporate, industry affairs, they do little to stir the blood.
Compared with these, Code Jam is more like Robot Wars -- and lots of people are uncomfortable with that. Yet winning things is sexy, and being a master of the art that runs the modern world is far cooler than writing another book about teenage angst.
Coding isn't just engineering. Awards aren't just there to rank contenders. The very best programmers are creative in ways that match the best of arts and science: they produce working code of rare quality, and at inexplicable speed. Recognising this will help put technology in its proper social context as a human endeavour capable of individual greatness, which can only be healthy.
There is an industry tendency to distrust star programmers, because they do things in a way that defies analysis and replication. That is wrong: they should be feted in ways that inspire the rest of us. We should celebrate these strange creatures. Progress needs hard work and discipline, but breakthroughs require genius. And that's equally to be prized.

By JANE MCCLURE
With summer's start comes the potential for an uptick in crime. More than three dozen Midway area residents met May 24 with Ward Four Council Member Russ Stark and members of the St. Paul Police Department Western District staff to discuss crime trends and ways the public can be proactive in deterring crime.
Stark said he wanted the discussion to focus on safety, to have the Hamline-Midway neighborhood be a safe and welcoming place. Last summer there were issues with violence at Hamline Park Playground, the Snelling-University area, and the Snelling Ave. corridor. Shootings, drug sales, vandalism, theft and other activities raised concerns. Stark said it was a different situation than he has seen in his 18 years of living in the neighborhood.
The meeting provided an overview of what police are doing in the area this summer and was meant to be a discussion of proactive community engagement. But the gathering grew tense at times as it became a debate about police-community relations. Some attendees angrily accused police of racial profiling and raised concerns about police brutality and officer-involved shootings. Some said children and young people are afraid of the police after negative interactions.
But others said they are afraid to call police because of worries about retaliation by criminals. A few people had to be asked to not use their cell phones to record other meeting attendees.
The Police Department breaks the city into three districts—Western, Central, and Eastern. The Western District incorporates the Midway, Como, St. Anthony Park, Front, Frogtown, Merriam Park, Summit University, Grand Ave. neighborhoods, and extends all the way down through the Highland Park neighborhood. In the Western District, there has been a 26 percent increase in weapons discharged, or shots fired calls. Other crime categories have had either small increases or decreases.
Shots fired calls are up citywide, said Western District Senior Commander Steve Anderson. That launched what has become a frequent debate, over whether noises are indeed shots fired or firecrackers. Anderson and other police personnel at the meeting said people need to call in, whether or not they know the source of the noise.
Pam McCreary, who leads community crime prevention efforts, said people need to call in and make reports. "Then you can talk about it on social media," she said.
Another issue is public intoxication and disorderly conduct. In recent weeks one problem area has been University and Snelling avenues, where a group of people is hanging out. Members of the group, whom Stark has dubbed "the drinking club," hang out in front of stores. They aggressively panhandle business customers, drink, urinate and defecate in public and cause disruptive behavior.
Tom Stranksy, owner of Midway Bookstore, 1579 University Ave., said he has had customers harassed. It is affecting his business and other businesses.
Anderson grew up in the Midway. He outlined plans for the summer including stepped-up bicycle patrols. People may see the mounted patrol or equine unit from time to time. St. Paul Police have recently had more training in deescalating situations and in community engagement.
Other issues raised include speeding motor vehicles and dangers to pedestrians, motor vehicles with loud stereo systems, and other quality of life issues.
Another part of the meeting focused on curfews. Unaccompanied minors, 15 years of age or under, are not allowed to loiter or play on or in public places from 10pm to 4am daily. Unaccompanied minors over 15 and under 18 are restricted from public places from 12:01am to 4am daily. It is unlawful for parents, guardians or other adults having charge over a minor to allow or permit that minor to violate curfew. To report violations, call the police at 651-291-1111.
The group also discussed law enforcement on the Green Line light rail and A Line bus lines, and how police work with Metro Transit police.
One focus this summer is the Safe Summer Nights Program, which provides positive interaction with police and the community. As part of that program, Hamline Park's event is 5-7pm on Thur., July 13 in the park at Snelling and Thomas avenues.
One big takeaway from the meeting was that people should call the police when something isn't right. Get to know neighbors and who should and shouldn't be in an area, a piece of advice which also prompted some protests. That may be less germane in areas where someone is waiting for a bus or walking to a destination, some at the meeting said.
Another piece of advice is to pay attention to behaviors and not focus simply on what a person looks like. But if there is suspicious behavior, make as thorough a report as possible. Saying someone had on "a white T-shirt and blue jeans" doesn't give police a lot to go on.

A U.S. Coast Guard boat patrols the in New York Harbor by the Statue of Liberty as part of their Homeland Security mission. Photo: wiki commons.
Washington Post — If things weren't already tense enough in the Middle East, a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat got into an altercation Tuesday with an Iranian sailboat in the Persian Gulf, the Pentagon announced.
U.S. military officials said the trouble started when the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Monomoy, which regularly patrols international waters in the Gulf, approached an Iranian dhow, a traditional sailing vessel used by fisherman and traders. According to the U.S. account, the cutter dispatched a smaller boat with some folks on board, apparently to try to get closer to the dhow and possibly climb aboard.

[www] 8 ans de Mame !!Posté le 05/02/2005 à 20:34
Et oui cela fait déjà 8 ans que le Club Dorothée n'existe plus…hum je me goure de registre là
Ha oui ! Mame a également 8 ans (et ça c'est beau © JCVD). Bon anniversaire ^^
The first official release was MAME 0.1, which was released on the evening of February 5th, 1997 (23:32 +0100). Using a modular and portable driver oriented architecture with an open source philosophy, it soon grew into immense proportions. The current version supports 5428 ROM sets, 3020 unique games. Because MAME releases happen whenever they are ready, at one point the wait between new versions was almost 4 months. To help the agony of the users, a public beta system was used, with a beta release happening every 2-3 weeks on an average. However, now the beta designation has been removed in favor of a good old 0.xx version number. Also a work-in-progress -page exists, if you really want to know the latest information.

This year's Nordic Life Science Days is scheduled for September 12-14 at the Malmö Convention Center in the Medicon Valley and promises more opportunities for networking, brainstorming and partnering than ever before.
Attendance has been growing since the conference started five years ago, nearly doubling from 600 in 2012 to 1 100 last year. In 2016, life science decision-makers came from 36 different countries, including between 400 and 500 from outside the Nordic region. This also will be the fifth year the Nordic Star Awards will be presented at the end of the conference, honoring three innovative life science companies in the Nordic region. NLSDays Managing Director Olivier Duchamp discussed the vision and goals for the conference, the agenda and enhanced networking activities.
What are the objectives of Nordic Life Science Days (NLSDays)?
"In 2012, we decided to create the first NLS Days, based on smaller companies not attending large international meetings; we thought together with SwedenBIO, the Swedish life science organization, we could do something to help these companies meet with others in the industry. The purpose was to create a networking platform by gathering the best of the Nordic life science community, so they could meet with a variety of business partners from abroad."
What opportunities are available for networking and partnering?
"Everything is set up to facilitate networking. We are making it easy for people to meet face-to-face in a secure environment. There is an online platform, EBD Group partnering system PartneringONE, to help people set up meetings. The purpose is to create or follow-up on relationships. You can meet with investors, public agencies, or a big pharmaceutical company looking for new drugs Last year, there were 2 200 face-to-face meetings. There also will be informal networking receptions on- and off-site."
What is new for NLSDays 2017?
"We will start half-a-day earlier and run two new sessions right before and during the welcome reception. One is the Startup Challenge @ NLSDays, in partnership with J&J Innovation, the second one will be the Academics Catwalk, allowing life science innovators to present during three-minute elevator pitches."
What else is on this year's schedule?
"We have a few major sessions on diabetes, neuroscience, infectious diseases and vaccines, immuno-oncology and digital health. We also will have contract research organizations (CROs) show how they are contributing to innovation in the life sciences and how they help small and big companies. Most other large sessions are focused on funding and investments. There also will be company presentations [about their projects] and workshops targeted to specific audiences."
Why did you decide to move the conference to Malmö after four years in Stockholm?
"We wanted to make the conference more Nordic and we have the perfect place to move to. So far, the response has been better from Danish companies; more are signing up. We are also going to have a large reception in Copenhagen. We'll be back in Stockholm next year, but after that, we should be in another Nordic capital."

I really don't feel like posting right now, but feel an update is in order after all the emails that we have gotten.
Ed was released from the hospital Friday night and is home right now. I'll be honest here.....he looks like crap, but he's in good spirits, and still want to be "kept in the loop" of what's going on around here.
He will be going in for some reconstructive surgery Monday morning to fix a broken bone just below his eye. So.......long story short.......I'll post another update after he's home from his surgery and I know more.
BTW.....he 'reminded' his father and Gene that the cucumbers in the garden by the road needed to be picked tonight!
We (Ed and his entire family) thank you for the support and well wishes received over his unfortunate accident.
God bless
Thank You!!!

The woman beside her was far too subservient for her comfort; if their brother expected her behavior to conform, he was in for a surprise.
The young duchess died in her seventeenth year after giving birth to a son, and the duke took a second wife from a humble stock, newly enriched and honoured, the daughter of Henry VIII.'s subservient chancellor, the Lord Audley of Walden.
But above all things the church was being criticized as an imperium in imperio, a privileged body not amenable to ordinary jurisdiction, and subservient to a foreign lordthe pope.

His grandfather had an almost subservient relationship to Tim's, but Brady had left the shadows on many occasions to remind Tim of what really mattered when the politician's ego started to get the best of him.
Porphyry marks the transition to a new phase of Neoplatonism, in which it becomes completely subservient to polytheism, and seeks before everything else to protect the Greek and Christianity.
In this he drew a masterly picture, not only of the life and immorality of the friars but also of the insolent Filipino chiefs or caciques, subservient to the powers above, tyrannical to those below, superstitious, unprogressive and grasping.
The princes, now for the first time referred to officially as domini terrae, were given full rights of jurisdiction over their lands and all the inferior officers of justice were made subservient to them.
Charles, however, paid Wolsey the sincere compliment of thinking that he would not be sufficiently subservient on the papal throne; while he wrote letters in Wolsey's favour, he took care that they should not reach their destination in time; and Wolsey failed to secure election both in 1521 and 1524.
The claims of the railways, however, necessitated retrenchment on official salaries, and the president's plan for conversion of the debt roused unexpected and successful opposition in an ordinarily subservient Congress.
But the instrument which, in the hands of John of Damascus (Damascenus), was made subservient to theological interests, became in the hands of others a dissolvent of the doctrines which had been reduced to shape under the prevalence of the elder Platonism.

38 Studios Saga, we're deep in the trenches of Legislation Alley with the end of the game coming into sight. You're now allowed to move another piece forward as the Rhode Island House of Representatives voted to pass a bill to settle the 38 Studios quagmire.
The House vote was the twin of the Senate bill that passed last month. The bill shields the ex-38 Studios defendants from being sued further, aiding a final settlement in the legal matter of the defaulted $75 million loan and the studio's subsequent collapse.
Now the bill will be handed over to Governor Lincoln Chafee to sign. The lawmakers also discussed whether or not Rhode Island taxpayers should continue to pay off the $90 million that the state is responsible for. One representative said that the state should be solely repaid from funds recouped following this round of litigation.

Ellwood has the right idea! Mama needs to run around like that after this week! Love these shots!
Thanks for all the good advice. I'll be working on destroying the furniture, looking forlorn and everything else.
p.s. Mama is going to look for you on FB.
