FEBRUARY 14, 2017 — Krusaa, Denmark, based diesel manufacturer BUKH A/S has appointed Covington, LA, headquartered Laborde Products as its Diesel Marine Distributor for the United States market.
"Our companies have tremendous synergies," said Soren Pederson, BUKH sales manager. "We are excited about this new partnership with Laborde Products."
"The BUKH engine line really complements our growing position in the marine market, and provides much needed domestic support for the U.S. cruise ship industry with the large population of BUKH SOLAS engines used in lifeboats and fast rescue craft," said Chris Cerullo, Laborde Products marine manager.
"Laborde is focused on providing our customers with the right product for their application and then providing the right service and right support to keep that product working. The BUKH engines are certainly the right product for the application, now we need to establish the right service and support throughout the U.S. that we have become known for," said Mr. Cerullo.
BUKH has produced marine engines since the beginning of 1899, and with more than 100 years of experience their marine engines have developed into being the most reliable in the world. They provide retailers all over the world of which most are specially trained to counsel and render service on the company's marine engines.

Donald Trump was in his element, mingling with beauty pageant contestants and business tycoons as he brought his Miss Universe pageant to Russia for a much-anticipated Moscow debut. Nonetheless, Trump was especially eager for the presence of another honored guest: Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump tweeted Putin a personal invitation to attend the pageant, and a one-on-one meeting between the New York businessman and the Russian leader was scheduled for the day before the show.
Putin canceled at the last minute, but he sent a decorative lacquered box, a traditional Russian gift, and a warm note, according to Aras Agalarov, a Moscow billionaire who served as a liaison between Trump and the Russian leader.
Still, the weekend was fruitful for Trump. He received a portion of the $14 million paid by Agalarov and other investors to bring the pageant to Moscow. Agalarov said he and Trump signed an agreement to build a Trump Tower in the heart of Moscow - at least Trump's fifth attempt at such a venture. And Trump seemed energized by his interactions with Russia's financial elite, at the pageant and a glitzy after-party in a Moscow nightclub.
"Almost all of the oligarchs were in the room," Trump bragged to Real Estate Weekly upon returning home.
Trump's relationship with Putin and his warm views toward Russia, which began in the 1980s when the country was still part of the Soviet Union, have emerged as one of the more curious aspects of his presidential campaign.
The overwhelming consensus among American political and national security leaders has held that Putin is a pariah who disregards human rights and has violated international norms in seeking to regain influence and territory in the former Soviet bloc. ...Read the rest of the story HERE.

The pronunciation of Alzheimer's is "ahlts-hahy-merz." Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that typically develops in late middle age, after age 60. The condition takes its name from the German neurologist Alois Alzheimer, who identified it in 1907.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It develops as a type of lesion called amyloid plaque that accumulates in the brain. This leads to memory loss, emotional instability and confusion. As Alzheimer's disease progresses, a person's mental ability and ability to cope with daily activities declines. One way to help prevent Alzheimer's disease is to keep the brain active through activities such as reading, dancing and playing board games.

SOUTHPORT College students will be cooking up a storm during the town's first ever Food and Drink Festival.
The Mornington Road College this week announced its involvement in the event, joining a list of eateries, bars and local producers to showcase food and drink talents from all over Southport.
Southport Food and Drink Festival (SFDF) will run from May 17 to 20 and will display the huge array of culinary skills in the resort.
Susanne Smith, Southport College deputy marketing manager, said it will help the students improve their own skills and training.
She said: "Students will be actively involved in the Festival, gaining direct experience through it. They will play a key part of the Festival Marquee Programme and will be assisting Southport's most talented chefs in the Festival Marquee."
The Southport Food Drink Festival organisers will work with Southport College to involve the resort's potential 'chefs of the future' and give students the opportunity to work with the town's highest profile chefs.
A key feature of the Southport Food and Drink Festival, which is officially supported by the Southport Visiter, will be the Festival Marquee situated on the Town Hall Gardens. This will be in place throughout the festival and a full programme of chef demonstrations will be taking place including Southport's most talented chefs, as well visiting chefs from further afield. A full kitchen with plasma screens will be built in the marquee, where up to 150 people will be able to watch the demonstrations.
SFDF will also be working with Southport College to ensure that students, and the student-run Clouds restaurant, is involved and highlighted as part of the Festival.
SFDF plans to feature a special Festival Menu to be served by a class at the college for one day during the Festival. This will be devised by the students, and will focus on local produce.
Following the inaugural SFDF, a chef or teacher in charge of the project will choose a student who has performed to the highest level during the event. That student will win a day's work placement in one of Southport's top restaurants.
Susanne said: "This activity will provide another opportunity for a student to gain valuable experience within a real kitchen environment, and to speak directly to a high profile chef about their career development."

DERC approaches this world and how we experience it through innovative, reflexive and ethical ethnographic approaches, developed through anthropology, media and cultural studies, design, arts and documentary practice and games research.
Our research is incisive, interventional and internationally leading. Going beyond the call of pure academia we combine academic scholarship with applied practice to produce research, analysis and dissemination projects that are innovative and based on ethnographic insights.
DERC partners and collaborates with a range of institutions in Australia and globally, including other universities, companies and other organisations. This includes collaborative research projects, conferences, symposia and workshops, and international visits, fellowships and publications.
Recognising the differential meanings and uses of the term ethnography across and between academic disciplines, DERC utilises a broad definition of ethnography that views ethnography as an approach for understanding the world that cannot be reduced to a single method. Through DERC, our aim is to engage in research and conversations that are committed to the following:
• transdisciplinary research that is inquiry-based;
• engagement with empirical research and/or materials;
• socially and historically contextualised analyses;
• comparison across local, national, regional and global frames.

Goalkeeper fitness is a critical component of goalie training. Working for an allotted period of time will increase a goalkeeper's fitness to control their body and the ball intelligently. What ever the amount of service or time the goalkeeper has to maintain focus and close to technical proficiency. Goalkeeper fitness could give you the quickness and desire to get up quickly after a great first diving save or breakaway to get up and tip the second shot over the bar like goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Todd Hoffard is currently the goalkeeper coach of the United States girls U14 national team and coordinates The US Soccer Training Centers for Eastern PA. He is also the owner One on One Soccer and the author of " The Goalkeeper Handbook, Complete Session Plans to Take to the Training Field ".

BENJAMIN was born on January 17, 1706, the youngest son among seventeen children of Josiah Franklin, a Boston candlemaker. Long before his two years of education in the grammar school-and that was all the formal education he ever had-the boy learned to read and write, probably with some assistance. At ten he was put to work in his father's shop, but he never could make himself like dipping candles and cutting wicks all day long. In the end, feeling that the only thing his son ever really liked came from books, old Josiah consented to send the boy to his grownup son, James, to be an apprentice at the art of printing. But the older brother apparently was not aware of his baby-brother's talents -- and never came to recognize them, as he died prematurely in 1735 -- and treated Benjamin as one of his workers. Soon afterward, James started a newspaper, the New England Courant ( 1721) which published, among other material, fourteen articles signed by an unknown widow by the name of Silence Dogood, articles which turned out to be secretly written by young Benjamin. This incident proved to be quite irritating to James.
As a result of the quarrel, young Franklin ran away and came to live in Philadelphia ( 1723), where he eventually opened a printing shop of his own. There he printed all kinds of things: leaflets, pamphlets and books. In 1729 he took over the publication of the Pennsylvania Gazette. And three years later he embarked upon a new venture, a calendar with witty and sound sayings, just the kind of practical wisdom which appealed to the colonists; this calendar known as Poor Richard's Almanack quickly became a literary and business success and continued appearing until 1757.
All along Franklin kept himself busy studying and learning. He read a great deal, including the works of Xenophon, Plutarch, Shaftesbury, and Locke. He mastered four languages, at least for the purposes of reading, namely French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin. For self-guidance, he wrote "articles of belief," dealing with the practical meaning of religion and morality, and found that good will may be described in terms of thirteen virtues, among them temperance, moderation, chastity, humility, fru-

Looking for jConnect®?
Back to Newsroom
The school bell is about to welcome back this year's class, but while students enjoy the last days of summer, their parents are hurrying to find the best deals on school supplies. To gain a bigger share of the National Retail Federation's projected $68.8 billion to be spent this back-to-school season, Campaigner®, an email marketing service provider brand from technology leader j2 Global Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM) that empowers companies to better attract and retain business through
creative email marketing campaigns, offers the following refresher course:
Let history be your guide -- If you have demographics within your email list, use them to target your campaigns. Experience shows that shoppers with young kids are looking for crayons and lunchboxes, while teens want clothes and college students need laptops. Campaigner® can segment your list by historic buying patterns to match your subject line and product links to what the consumer is looking to buy. If you don't have this data already, start gathering it this year so you can target better next year.
Divide the high from the low -- With Campaigner, retailers can segment their customer lists based on typical order size. This can help you create targeted emails for low spenders, average spenders, and high spenders. Use these sub-lists to personalize offers for each group with the right incentives to entice them to fill their carts a bit fuller this year.
Don't forget your geography -- If you're near a college campus, sort your list by state or zip code to identify your customers that are from out of the area. Campaigner's segmenting feature can target these students with "move in" specials for dorm room essentials and their parents for hotels and restaurants.
You best earn extra credit -- By using Campaigner to identify your most loyal customers, you can personalize campaigns to keep them up-to-date on your latest deals and offers. They will appreciate special treatment that lets them know how much you value their business. For example, you can include a loyalty promotion, like free shipping, or advance notice of your next sale.
To make the process easier, Campaigner recently introduced the Smart Email Builder.

Reds in talks with investment group
It is understood the global investment group is looking to secure a
40 per cent stake at Anfield which, if it were to go ahead, would
considerably strengthen the club's financial position. Co-owners
Tom Hicks and George Gillett have been told by the Royal Bank of
Scotland, as part of the refinancing package they agreed last year,
they have to reduce the club's £237million debt by
£100million this summer. Chief executive Christian Purslow has
been working to find outside investors who could meet this criteria
and previously stated he wanted to secure a deal by Easter.
However, the offer from the Rhone Group – which is the first real
positive result of Purslow's wide-ranging search – would be used to
slash the club's debt by half. That would have the effect of
immediately making Liverpool a more attractive option for outside
investment. It would also improve the club's credit-worthiness,
which could, in turn, lead to cash being secured to finally begin
work on the long-awaited new stadium in Stanley Park. If successful
the Rhone Group's bid would give them the controlling interest in
the club, with Hicks and Gillett reducing their shareholding to 30
per cent each. Details of the offer were only received by Liverpool
on Saturday and the matter has yet to be discussed at board level.
There have been suggestions on Sunday that the American co-owners
are looking for a better price but with the clock ticking on the
time they have to meet RBS' requirements it may yet prove to be a
viable option. The Rhone Group was founded in 1995, has its
headquarters in New York with other offices in London and Paris and
describes itself as "one of the world's leading mid-market private
equity firms".

Welcome to the second round of MTV's Musical March Madness tournament! The first round was a thrilling one, filled with some surprise domination and a handful of amazing upsets. To kick off the round of 32, we begin once again in the Midwest bracket, where some of the strongest contenders will battle for spots in the Elite Eight.
Voting for all second round match-ups will close on Sunday, March 27 at midnight. As always, you can follow all the voting here.
(1) Foo Fighters vs. (9) Disturbed
In the first round, the Damned Things looked to play spoiler early (they jumped out to an early lead), but ultimately they couldn't hold off the power of the Foos. They'll square off against a surprisingly stout Disturbed team, who knocked Dave Matthews Band all over the court in a rout. Will they be able to continue riding this wave of success, or will Dave Grohl's band reinforce their top seeding? Only your votes can decide!
Watch the breakdown of the first round and a preview of round two!
Check out the Musical March Madness bracket and be take a look at the hoops-centric photos of some of the tournament's biggest bands.

Deal: Get Aluminum Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker for $19.89!
by Jun 26, 2015 4:52 am0
When it comes to Xiaomi we all think of cheap, yet great smartphones they produce. However, the company has a huge portfolio of very affordable accessories to offer. It turns out that they produce not only power banks and cheap headphones, but also the Bluetooth speakers.
Well, we have seen a lot of Bluetooth speaker that cost around $100, but it seems that Xiaomi has a high quality product, which you can now grab for under $20.
One of the highlights of this product is that it spots a great design with some high quality materials which include an aluminium casing and plastic speaker grill.
In addition, it has the Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, which allows a wireless music streaming up to 10 meters (33 feet). Also, a built-in 1200mAh battery is said to last you up to 10 hours of continues music playback.
We haven't tested the speaker yet but it other reviews suggest that this is a great bang for the buck. Of course, you can expect the best sound quality with a deep bass, but hey, it costs just under $20 this time.

About a month ago, I received the Northwest 72-MA861 Headphones which was purchased from Walmart. I purchased the headphones as I would prefer to have no wires with my headphones while listening to music. Any set of headphones I would buy needs to have a microphone as the headphones would be used with my cellular phone.
So, what would I recommend after a month with the headphones? Well the first 3 weeks – the headphones were sufficient. They were cheap, so I never expected much, but during the third week, the battery seemed to start to die after just a couple of hours of music playing. The volume was always kept at a normal rate, and I rarely receive phone calls, so this wasn't the culprit. A few days before writing this post, the power button fell in the headphones – now making them unusable. I would be contacting Walmart in a day or two to hopefully get the headphones replaced, but this is not a good sign.
Obviously with the headphones falling apart within a month of ownership, I will not recommend anyone buying these $25 headphones. If you would want a pair of Bluetooth headphones, you are best to settle for wired headphones until you can get the money for a better quality.

Cornflakes Cranberry Cookies Recipe
One of these days you may be looking to clear out your pantry. If you have some lingering cornflakes and dried fruit, be it cranberry, raisins, etc., mix them together and create delicious cookies using this easy recipe. Once you tried these, you probably won't ever have a chance of these "leftovers" idling around any more...
These cookies are crispy and buttery. The cornflakes are baked to a lovely hue of golden brown, yet, the interior of the cookies remain soft and utterly melt-in-the-mouth. The addition of dried cranberries brings these cookies to a whole new level with a touch of sweet-tartness. If you do not have cranberries on hand, omit them or replace with raisins or any other dried fruit.
(makes about 35 cookies)
125g unsalted butter
30g icing sugar
30g caster sugar
1 egg
150g plain flour
20g corn flour
50g dried cranberries
50g crushed cornflakes (to mix into batter)
100-120g slightly crushed cornflakes for coating
Pinch of salt
1. Cream butter and sugars together till pale and fluffy
2. Add in beaten egg and mix well. Sieve in flours and mix till soft dough forms.
3. Add in cranberries and 50g cornflakes.
4. Chill the fridge for 15-20mins or until dough is firm to handle. Weigh out batter of 10g and shape roughly into a ball. Coat with cornflakes.
5. Bake in preheated oven of 180 degrees for 20-30mins. The cornflakes should be golden brown when ready.

Publisher blurb:
Kuro is the core rulebook of a new near-future game setting influenced by unremitting Japanese horror.
The year is 2046, and something dark has returned to Japan. With an international blockade set up around the beleaguered country following the Kuro Incident, there is no escape. In addition to the meteorological side-effects of the Incident, some people have noticed a sharp rise in disturbing, mysterious and supernatural occurrences. The authorities refuse to acknowledge such obvious sensationalist delusions. Do you have the strength to face the nightmares?
From the makers of Qin and Yggdrasill, brought to the English language by the C7 translations team headed up by Andrew Peregrine, Kuro is a 208 page hardcover with black and white interior.

Nissan Motor Cars USA and Visa International will be among the participants in the Core Advertiser Program, executives said, testing various interactive marketing techniques for a year in 1,000 households in northern Virginia.
A Nissan spokesman confirmed the company's participation in the test.
There could be bigger things in store for Stargazer advertisers. Bell Atlantic Video Services' interactive marketing function is scheduled to be folded into Media Co., the Howard Stringer-led Baby Bell consortium that is designing programming to be carried by Bell Atlantic and consortium partners Nynex Corp. and Pacific Telesis Group.
Under that scenario, marketers that sign on with Stargazer could find themselves in front of many more eyeballs in the near future.
"National coordination of advertising for the three operating companies would be handled by Media Co.," said Larry Coleman, a director at Bell Atlantic Video Services in charge of interactive marketing and advertising. "Are we talking to the advertisers about the opportunities beyond anything Bell Atlantic is doing? Yes."
Of the three Baby Bells, Bell Atlantic has taken the lead in courting advertiser involvement in its interactive TV tests. Mr. Coleman said it's likely he will be transferred to Media Co. in a few weeks.
Much remains unknown about Media Co.'s plans, including how it will deliver programming, where it will get that programming, what interactive model it will use and when it all might be available. Mr. Stringer, formerly president of CBS Broadcast Group, brings powerful cache to the group, but has admitted his job won't be easy.
In the meantime, Bell Atlantic will be the next major telecommunications company to test interactive TV with consumers.
Stargazer, essentially a video on demand system, will offer programming from a variety of sources, including Hollywood studios and documentary companies. One option for advertisers is to create "infomarketing modules," interactive infomercials that can be accessed on demand.
Under that scenario, a consumer ordering a movie on demand would see a message from a marketer before the movie starts, asking if he would like to learn about the marketer's product after the movie. If yes, an interactive infomercial would run, allowing the consumer to skip among various sections at will and request more information.
Bell Atlantic was asking fees of $125,000 to $250,000 to participate in the one-year test, but agency executives said the figure has dropped below $100,000.
About a dozen marketers are expected to participate eventually, but at launch there may only be six or seven, said Bill Harvey, CEO of Next Century Media, a New Paltz, N.Y., new-media consultancy that has been lining up advertisers for Bell Atlantic. He added that backlash from the much-maligned--but more sophisticated--Time Warner Full Service Network has made marketers skittish.
Media Co.'s involvement could change their minds, however.
"Getting Stringer was a coup," said one agency executive. "Here we have a network programming guy, which says the quality of the content is going to be good."
The executive added: "In the short term we see [Stargazer] as a research & development learning experience, but in the long term .... knowing they're going to cover the top six or seven markets in the country .... it seems to me is very attractive."
Others are more skeptical, saying the Baby Bell group has a lot to prove beyond its pedigree.
"They've got a consortium and that's wonderful, and I'm expecting grand things out of them, but tell me more," said Lynn Bolger, VP-director of new-media technologies at True North Media, New York. Ms. Bolger has been in discussions with Bell Atlantic about Stargazer, but said no clients have committed to the test yet.

Hi pierre506,
will you organize a Shanghai B&W film - LF and ULF sheet film campaign for 2018?

It's not a business to me.
But PLEASE inform and pay me what sizes you need before January 10th.
Same prices as the last time.
I can report to your offer to the factory.

N'DJAMENA, April 11 (Reuters) - Chad said on Monday it was suspending its mediation in Sudan's Darfur crisis because it could not help a country that was supporting rebels determined to destabilise it.
"We have decided to postpone our mediation because we cannot mediate and accept that the leaders of the country we are helping maintain a rebellion against Chad on their territory," said senior mediator Allam-Mi Ahmad.
Chad, Africa's newest oil producer, accused Sudan last week of seriously threatening its security by recruiting and supplying some 3,000 rebels close to the border between the two countries.
Ahmad said Chad would only agree to resume its mediation once Sudan had tackled the Chadian rebels. "National opinion would not understand that we are helping Sudan make peace while its leaders support people who want to destabilise Chad," he told Reuters.
Tens of thousands have been killed in Darfur and more than 2 million people have fled their homes since rebels took up arms in 2003, accusing Khartoum of giving preference to Arab tribes.
The conflict has weakened relations between the two neighbours and has created political and economic problems for Chad's President Idriss Deby, who has come under pressure from both sides for support.
Deby has hosted peace talks between Darfur's warring parties, to the surprise of some in his Zaghawa tribe, which overlaps the border between the two countries.
Its members are among rebels battling Khartoum in Darfur and Deby, a former army chief who seized power with help from Sudan and Libya in 1990, has faced pressure to back the rebels.
Chad has also accused Sudanese militias of launching cross-border attacks and hundreds of thousands of refugees from Darfur have poured over the border into poor eastern Chad.
An African summit on the Darfur war had been scheduled for April 20 in Egypt, but an official there said on Monday it had been postponed because some leaders could not attend.
Chad, Libya, Nigeria and Sudan were due to attend the meeting, hosted by Egypt.

Whilst speaking with people at a recent Poundland picket, it was brought to our attention that Marks and Spencer have also been dipping into the workfare labour pool. A shopper let on to us that her son has been workfaring at M&S for nout, as part of State's fraud-ridden back-to-work schemes. This backs up recent doubts over M&S' Marks and Start programme that allegedly 'helps' the homeless, lone parents, young people and the long-term unemployed back to work by teaching them how to stack shelves. Yes, the hallowed work ethic is re-installed in the marginalized by forcing them to repeat the same actions over-and-over again as part of a bus fare & butty placement.
The M&S story was first posted by @revpaulca on twitter on the 27th September:
Marks and Spencer started publicising the creation of a 1000 new jobs at their new logistics centre in Castle Donington and their partnership with Remploy, supporting disabled people into employment. Marks and Spencer then delightfully conflated job creation with employment opportunities for the disabled, and since then have refused to respond to questions regarding how many will benefit from their 'inclusivity' programme, named Plan A.
After 4 weeks of 'pre-employment' training, "a review takes place between you and your team leader to decide if a role in the warehouse is right for you." That review sounds like a no-guarantee-of-a-job interview and that pre-employment training sounds like workfare. When pressed on this M&S responded by saying:
The 1000 jobs might be, but the workfare isn't.
M&S have also been tapping into the homeless labour market through their Ready for Work programme, run by Business in the Community, which they help to set up in 1982. And, unemployed single parents are being funneled into M&S' aisles via the Gingerbread charity.
What this all comes down to is: through various schemes, M&S have been riding the workfare train for some time now by targeting disadvantaged groups who, faced with the prospect of loss of benefit, are forced into unpaid labour. As separate pieces of a whole, these 'placements' & 'programmes' may seem 'harmless' enough, but their combination across multiple sectors and industries add up to a significant pressure that is being used to drive down wages and simultaneously normalise the exploitation of the unemployed.
Loyal customers will, understandably, be horrified to learn M&S is exploiting the unemployed, and we will do everything we can to let as many people know that their pre-packaged meals come with a forced labour price tag.

Happy Easter everyone! Phew I'm nearly falling asleep writing this blog. I don't know what it is about sitting in the sun all day that makes you feel so tired. Maybe It's something to do with the copious amount of tasty food I've eaten today.
Today we had Boyfriends family over for a barbeque and discovered that his nan has never been to a BBQ before so it was a first! there was plenty of burgers, sausages, chicken and prawns, and then barbequed bananas with toffee sauce for after mmmmm nom!
as If that wasn't enough food I also made hot cross buns for everyone to take home and enjoy later for supper. I've just finished eating one toasted with butter and I enjoyed every last bite of it. I'm usually all about the cake but I'd been craving hot cross buns for a few days so I thought I'd make my own, and this is a really good recipe. I think It's definitely worth the effort over buying the shop bought ones and this way you can add the fruit you prefer. I'd been craving Cranberry and orange buns and it worked perfectly and made them a little different from the plain raisin.
Here's one:
And here's how they're made. (I got the original basic recipe from belleau kitchen and then adjusted it slightly to fit the flavours I wanted.)
Cranberry and Orange Hot Cross Buns.
Makes 12
625g Strong white flour
1tsp Salt
2tsp Mixed Spice
45g Butter
85g Caster Sugar
Zest of 1 large Orange
2 tsp easy blend yeast
1 large egg
10floz Tepid milk (heat for a few seconds in the microwave)
100g Dried Cranberries
50g Raisins
For the cross & Glaze
2 Tbsp Flour
2 Tbsp Water
1 tbsp Golden syrup - heated.
Mix the flour, salt and mixed spice in a large bowl then rub in the butter until you have a sandy consistency and add the sugar, orange zest and yeast. Beat the egg into the milk and add to the flour mixture, bring the mixture together to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead whilst sprinkling in the dried fruit in batches. Knead for about 5 minutes.
Place the dough ball in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to prove for 1 hour.
After an hour knock back the dough and knead for 1 minute. Place back in the bowl, cover again and put back in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Once the dough has doubled in size divide into 12 balls, flatten slightly and place on greased baking trays. Pre-heat the oven to 240deg C. Place the trays in large plastic bags and tie the bags at the end. leave to rise for a further 40 minutes.
For the cross combine the flour and water to form a thick paste and pipe crosses onto the buns:
Bake the buns in the oven for 8 - 12 minutes until a dark golden colour then brush with warm syrup straight from the oven.
Once cooled enjoy the buns toasted and buttered with a nice cup of tea. Mmmm a tasty Easter treat. Why not make some this bank holiday.

The sixth clip is part two of the third episode titled, Palutena's Revolting Dinner, which centres on the goddess Palutena and her attempts to deal with a great catastrophe in her Skyworld home.

In the early 80s, when Nike was still known as, first and foremost, a running shoe company, the Air Pegasus was developed. This simple design utilized the space shuttle silhouette, nylon upper and EVA midsole; it was primarily designed to introduce an Air cushioned training shoe into the marketplace at an affordable price.Unlike many other Nike runners from this era, the Pegasus did not slip away into the obscurity of fond recollections by only the most devoted of Nike fans. The Air Pegasus has stayed in production for over thirty years, always staying true to the original mission of incorporating new technology onto a simple, eminently usable silhouette.
If a size is not listed, it is sold out.

In a recent SSN News Poll readers said that DIY offerings can add new streams of revenue to a traditional security business and open a company up to new customers. A couple of those respondents specifically pointed to the DragonFly offering from Honeywell, which pairs DIY installed equipment with professional monitoring.
Earlier this year, Bart Didden of USA Central Station started a new venture, Security Dealer Network, or SDN, to help dealers offer the DragonFly product with professional monitoring from USA Central.
This week, SDN announced that its heard some positive feedback from dealers.
"As a professional security dealer and installer, I've been concerned about the quick growth of DIY security products. The DragonFly Security System gives me the chance to get a piece of that business, along with the confidence that my customers are getting the quality of products that I would want to represent my name," Kimberly Rescigno, director of sales and marketing for Security Specialists in Stamford, Conn., said in a prepared statement.
"This program gives us the ability to offer a tried and true product with a high performance rating as a DIY product. There is absolutely no risk for us to participate. And the upside—a new source of profits that could be substantial," Patty Terada, president of Alarm & Access Control Technologies, Inc., located in West Linn, Ore., said in the announcement.
Joseph V. Bonafede, president of Technocality Inc. of Hamilton, N.J., said in a prepared statement. "Anyone on the front lines who is selling and installing security systems knows that DIY video and security products have become a main source of competition. As the old saying goes, 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' That's exactly what SDN allows dealers to do with its unique do-it-yourself video surveillance products and central station monitoring offering.
SSN spoke with Didden in Las Vegas at this year's ISC West to hear about some of the initial responses to SDN and the DragonFly offering. Click here to watch the ssnTVnews interview.
PORT CHESTER, N.Y.—Bart Didden, president of USA Central Station, today announced the launch of a new venture: Security Dealer Network, which will aid dealers in entering the DIY market with its DragonFly offering.

Fort Skenesborough
Fort Skenesborough: 1759, 1775-77, 1812, Washington County, Whitehall. The first structure here was a blockhouse in 1759 with a barracks on a hill to the west of Wood Creek, which still existed in 1775. The site is between the Presbyterian Church and the Masonic Temple. At the start of the Revolutionary War the Americans took Skenesborough (Philip Skene was a Loyalist) and built new fortifications strating in October 1776. This site was also the shipyards for General Arnold's Lake Champlain fleet. Built very near the 1759 site was a barracks and a fortified stockade described as an irregular polygon. Retreating before Burgoyne in July 1777 the Americans attempted to burn the fort. The British repaired and garrisoned the fort along with fortifying Skene's stone barn, for three weeks before continuing on to Saratoga. During the War of 1812 a new blockhouse was constructed within the ruins of the old fort to protect the shipyards.

Equal and open access to education for students of all backgrounds is a core principle of the University of California and UC Davis Health. The White House decision to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program contradicts our longstanding values, and we join University of California President Janet Napolitano and UC Davis Chancellor May in standing by our Dreamer students as they pursue their higher education goals.
Many of our students are the first in their families to pursue an undergraduate degree, let alone a medical, nursing or public health degree. Because a large number of them go on to serve in rural and underserved areas – many in the communities in which they were raised – the DACA decision also adversely affects countless patients and families who need their care. Supporting our Dreamer students also supports our patients, and is vital to creating and sustaining a system of culturally appropriate care for our state's diverse population.
We call on Congress to quickly devise a solution to keep the DACA program and protect all Dreamers. We fully support all of our undocumented School of Medicine and School of Nursing students, and reinforce our commitment to helping them pursue their education goals.

Former Libbey and Ohio State star William Buford opened minicamp with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
Buford is vying to play for the Timberwolves' entry in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, which features rookies, second-year players, and free agents. Minnesota's five-game schedule begins Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Buford finished his four-year career at Ohio State tied for third all-time in scoring but was not selected in last month's NBA Draft. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard was one of 21 players at the Timberwolves' minicamp. Minnesota will announce its summer league roster Sunday.
At the next Olympics, the team from the USA will wear uniforms made in the USA.
Designer Ralph Lauren said the uniforms it provides the U.S. Olympic team at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, will, in fact, be made in the United States.
The U.S. uniforms for the London Games were made in China, which sparked congressional criticism of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Ralph Lauren initially declined comment on the criticism, but 24 hours later announced clothes for future Olympics would be made in the United States.
It's too late to change anything for the 530 American athletes in time for the London Games, which start July 27. The uniforms for the opening ceremony will remain as planned -- blue blazer, cream-colored pants for men, and skirts for women and a blue beret with red and white stripes.
■ WASHINGTON -- Blake Griffin has officially withdrawn from the Olympics, and Anthony Davis has been added to the U.S. basketball team's roster.
Griffin needs surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and joins a lengthy list of American stars sidelined this summer.
Davis replaced him in the Americans' 113-59 exhibition victory over the Dominican Republic on Thursday in Las Vegas, scoring nine points in the fourth quarter. The No.1 overall draft pick couldn't be put on the 12-man roster for London until Griffin had withdrawn Friday.
CHARLOTTE -- U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson withdrew from the British Open as he awaits the birth of his second child.
It will be the second time in the last five years that the British Open is missing the U.S. Open champion. Tiger Woods did not play in 2008 because of season-ending knee surgery the day after he won the U.S. Open.
Simpson has said all along it was doubtful he would travel to Royal Lytham & St. Annes because his wife, Dowd, was expecting their second child. The British Open starts next Thursday.
DALLAS -- The Mavericks won the bidding to obtain two-time All-Star forward Elton Brand off waivers.
Brand was available after the Philadelphia 76ers this week used the one-time amnesty provision in the new CBA to let him go and not have the $18.1 million he is owed in the final season of his deal count against their cap.

Snapshot Art
A customer came to me with a 3½ inch, 48 year old snapshot.
He wanted a 5x7 print for a gift. A 5x7 of the scanned image looked terrible but with the help of some Photoshop plugins and some retouching the nice image below was delivered. Note that the shadow from the camera flash was eliminated.

Archived Color
Color photography did not really become widespread until the late 30's when Kodak started producing Kodachrome and Kodacolor and Agfacolor from Agfa. There had been color photos however since the Lumière brothers patented the Autochrome process in 1903. I have always loved the almost mystical quality of Autochromes and have in fact tried to duplicate the appearance without much success. There are many Autochromes still in existence including a wonderful collection of photos from World War One which can be found here.

Remembering Bud Beasley
It's been almost six years since my father died. He was a WWII veteran serving over three years in India and Burma in the Army Air Corp. He is the second one from the left. He was awarded a Bronze Star although I was never clear for exactly what.
He was also a survivor of the dust bowl and Great Depression. This is a picture of his father and him with his two younger brothers taken in Oklahoma circa 1930. He was self employed during most of his life owning a couple of grocery stores and later in commercial real estate. He never got rich but he never did anything to be ashamed of either and perhaps that's why.
He wasn't perfect. He opposed the Vietnam War but I often wondered if that was because I was of draft age. He was a Democrat until the late 60s but switched to Republican. He always said it was because of Johnson and the war but I think the Civil Rights Act may have played a part.
He was the product of his times and past but still one of the finest people I will ever know. He would often surprise me. He was a Bush supporter when he died but that was six years ago and I'm not sure he still would be. Could he bring himself to vote for Barack Obama? Probably not but as I said he was full of surprises.

Tintype Restoration
I discussed tintypes below and this is another example from my own collection. This is a tintype of my great grandmother as a child. The tintype was scanned and then the contrast and brightness were adjusted to obtain a good image. As you can see there were major condition issues - large portions of the image were missing and there were many marks and scratches. Below you will see the finished restoration after about two hours of work. Two hours well spent to capture this bit of my family history.

Art and Restoration
There are times when an old photo has simply too many condition problems or simply was not that good to begin with to do a standard restoration. That doesn't mean you can't create something you could display. The picture on the left is of great historical significance to my family. It is a picture of the original family home in Idaho taken about 1907. The original is small and has some condition problems. The first thing I did was to separate the structure from the rest of the picture. I added a sky for some drama and used PhotoShop's dry brush filter on the foreground. The result below makes a nice 11 x 14 that I proudly display.
In addition to have pictures of family members this photo taken around 1905 is also a fine work of art. It reminds me of a Maxfield Parish painting. The original had too many condition issues to make a "straight" restoration possible. I first did as much retouching as I could. Next I used the Photo Shop dry brush filter to smooth the image. I then had added a vignette. The result below also made a wonderful 11 x 14 image that could be displayed with pride.

The revised 2017 edition of Mind Play: A Guide to Erotic Hypnosis is now available on Amazon in print and Kindle editions, and on Smashwords.
If you already own Mind Play this is still the same book, but I've taken the opportunity to fix some things that have been bothering me and others:
- Complete rewrite of the Ethics section to meet modern community standards, which have evolved a lot since 2013.
- Updated the Resources chapter to include new events, sources, and communities that didn't exist back then.
- Went through the entire book, from the Obligatory Warnings and Disclaimers on, to make it more inclusive for people of all genders, body types, and abilities.
- A bunch of typos that slipped past my eyes have been hunted down and corrected.
