FRIDAY 17thAUGUST – SATURDAY 18th AUGUST 2012
The Felice Brothers, Roni Size, Alex Metric, Jakwob, Lucy Rose, Admiral Fallow, Allister Whitehead, 14th, Gypsy Hill, Swing Zazou,
Solko, Killamonjambo, Lois and the Love, The Jar Family, B.I.D, Chasing Tigers, Tom Pearce and Red Oktober.
Plus, the Jelly Monster, a kid's field with rides and a fun fair, music workshops, puppet making workshops and a family campsite and much more!
Fun, colourful, diverse and full of personality, the Jelly Festival breaks the mould. This year it celebrates its fifth birthday and returns to Norfolk on 17th and 18th August with a Mercury Music prize winner, cult American band, interactive games, workshops and oodles and spoonfuls of fun. Just be prepared to eat and see a lot of jelly!
The Jelly Festival includes a line-up of some of the biggest names and emerging talent on the music scene, including Mercury prize winning Roni Size, renowned for being one of the founding fathers of Drum and Bass and a true giant in the dance music scene and American band The Felice Brothers with their mud stomping, washboard thrashing folk.
Promising a 'Banquet of Sound' and summer entertainment, the Jelly mix includes Folk, Indie, Funk, Soul, Reggae, Swing, Balkan, Disco House, Electro, DnB and Dubstep to keep people wobbling to the beats of the latest sounds all day long. Alex Metric with his body popping electro and Lucy Rose's acoustic loveliness are highlights not to be missed!
Spread out over eight acres in the grounds of Compton Hall in the un-spoilt North Norfolk Countryside, the Jelly House Party with a living room main stage, kitchen banqueting area, bedroom big top bar, reggae rumpus room, play room and summer house cocktail bar will ensure people feel right at home! Each room is allocated to a different stage or area within the festival.
Alongside the massive acts and performances, there's an array of family and children's entertainment, workshops, film, food and interactive games.
Whether you want to be a happy camper or just come along for a day of uncensored fun, music and adventure, the Jelly Festival has it all.
Friday 17th August is ideal for people travelling from further afield who want to see the best of what the county has to offer and locals who want to make a weekend of it. North Norfolk is abound with stunning countryside and is close by to stunning beaches, including Wells-next-the-Sea (8 miles).
The campsite on the Friday opens at 19:00 and is an ideal opportunity to get to know your neighbours and enjoy some circus performance, acoustic acts and a movie ready for the opening of the main arena on the Saturday.
Ben Gardner, organiser of the Jelly Festival said: "The Jelly Festival is a music festival that breaks the mould. I'm a keen festival goer and noticed there was a gap in the market for an event that would appeal to a wide audience and accommodate families, whilst still having musical integrity. I wanted to create a festival that is reflective of the old country fayres that bring the community together, whilst giving people a chance to perform and sell their produce. Jelly holds these traditional elements but with high end production, mountains of decor and big acts that have travelled globally. There's something to suit everyone and is a great place to bring the kids. This year is our fifth year and we are going to create the most incredible festival experience to date. The Jelly Monster may even be making an appearance too!"
The 2012 festival in Fakenham, Norfolk is raising money for Rebecca's Wishes.
Friday 17th August - Campsite opens at 19:00 hosting acoustic music, performance and a film.
Saturday 18th August - The main arena opens at 09:30. Music on the main stage till midnight, other venues close at 04:30. There will be 5 stages of music, circus performance, workshops and interactive games. The kids area will include workshops, activities and rides throughout the day.

Movie rental service Netflix (NFLX) has hired a new executive to bring its Internet streaming service to more living rooms.
Netflix plans to announce Thursday that it's hired Gregory K. Peters as VP of partner products. He will be in charge of partnerships with gadget companies to offer devices like Blu-ray players and set-top boxes that play Netflix's Internet streams directly on TVs. So far, Netflix's partners include Microsoft (MSFT), Samsung, LG, Roku, and TiVo (TIVO).
Streaming movies don't move the needle much for Netflix yet, and Netflix's streaming library is relatively small -- 12,000 titles, compared to its DVD library of more than 100,000 titles.
But the idea is to build Netflix's streaming business gradually while most consumers still prefer DVDs, and have a robust, advanced streaming business ready by the time consumers prefer digital delivery. In the meantime, it's a decent add-on to help retain subscribers and potentially attract a few new ones.
One crucial step is figuring out how to get Internet video onto TV sets -- not just laptops. And so far, while it's early, Netflix seems to be doing as good a job as anyone getting gadget companies to support its service. Rivals include Apple (AAPL), whose Apple TV has been a relative flop, and EchoStar's (SATS) Sling Media, which recently launched a set-top box and is testing an ad-supported Internet streaming service. (It would be impressive if Peters could get Netflix's service on either or both of those devices, especially Apple TV.)
Peters joins Netflix from Macrovision (MVSN), where he was VP of consumer electronics products. Macrovision bought his previous company, Mediabolic, where he was VP of engineering. He'll report to Netflix Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt.

This week sees the eagerly-anticipated introduction of Quinlan Vos on Star Wars: The Clone Wars [Click Here to see a clip!]. With the popular Expanded Universe-created Jedi making his animated debut, and the Republic Commandos coming soon, I've been thinking about other Star Wars characters, both from the films and the EU, that would fit in well with The Clone Wars and the era it takes place in. Check out my six favorite choices below:
I'm starting out this list with a couple of expanded universe characters who The Clone Wars creators have acknowledged came close to appearing on the series at various points. First off is Alpha, a Clone Trooper who was featured prominently in many Star Wars Clone Wars-era comic books. A particularly tough ARC Trooper, Alpha also displayed a potentially scary hard line stance, which included mercilessly blowing up a clone lab that had been tampered with because, "They grow up loyal to the Republic, or they don't grow up at all."
Alpha was originally intended to play the role Captain Rex has on The Clone Wars, until George Lucas decided having Anakin, Ahsoka and Alpha fighting together was a bit heavy on the alliteration. However, that doesn't mean we couldn't still meet Alpha – and in fact, compare his tactics and point of view to Rex, who has shown signs of broadening his horizons, in the wake of the episode "The Deserter."
The 2003 animated Star Wars: Clone Wars shorts introduced two major villains, Asajj Ventress and Durge, but only Ventress has appeared on the current Clone Wars series so far. Durge was originally intended to play the role of the main bounty hunter villain in "Hostage Crisis," before that role went to the (then) newly introduced Cad Bane. While Cad Bane has certainly turned into a terrific villain on his own, it would still be great to see Durge on the series.
Big, strong and bad ass, Durge is a force to be reckoned with. And while The Clone Wars has deviated from Expanded Universe history, the basics on Durge – which is that he's an enemy of the Jedi and Mandalorians alike – would certainly work well on the series, especially now that the Mandalorians and Death Watch have been introduced. Who wouldn't want to see Pre Vizsla and his men taking on Durge, with Anakin and Obi-Wan stuck in the middle?
I'm including the lovely Jedi for a rather basic (and some would say silly?) reason – I want to see a human female Jedi on The Clone Wars! A conversation with some fellow Star Wars geeks last year brought up the fact that the series is lacking in this specific component -- sorry, Jedi librarian Jocasta Nu, you're not quite what we have in mind -- and Bultar Swan (briefly seen kicking ass during the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones) fits the bill nicely.
There have been a few Expanded Universe stories about Swan, including the one that told her, forgive me, swan song, in the comic book Purge. But she doesn't have nearly as much EU backstory as some to bog her down (or anger those who hate when The Clone Wars contradicts the EU). Plus, elements that do exist, such as her tutelage under Plo Koon, would easily work within the existing Clone Wars framework.

How to Incorporate DIY Projects into Your Living Space
Some people may think that it is difficult to integrate a do it yourself project into a bedroom, bathroom, living room, or kitchen, but you can easily do this especially if you are in a dorm or apartment. When you move into a dorm or apartment usually you do not have that many decorations or even a very clear color scheme. This makes it painless to display your DIY endeavors. These decorations can make your space personal and can be included in everyone's home.

Living with roommates can be hard, especially if you have never done it before. The common areas or just the common room can be a sore spot among roommates. Decorating a common area can be difficult if roommates do not have the same decorating style.

Justin ♥ Laura ... Highlights
There are a couple of things we should own up to, things we do over and over in our videos. Not that we won't keep right on doing them, because they work! One is the moving camera and how it interacts with foreground and background elements. The big limitation of video is that it's two dimensional. Moving the camera immediately adds depth to an image as different objects move at different rates. Movement also gives everything an emotional resonance. Which is great, because to me every place and every object has some sort of sentimental meaning and I love how the movement of a steadicam shot can convey it.
The other thing I'll mention is the ring shot. It's become our go-to video ending shot. The one in this video is one of my favourites. The typewriter at Laura's parents' was a must-use, and suddenly it occurred to me that J (Justin) and L (Laura) are almost side by side among the keys, and that K would be the logical spot for the engagement ring. Perfect. Just for extra added geek-appeal, J K and L are three of the most commonly used keys while editing in Final Cut Pro, with L being forward, J being reverse, and K being stop. Fitting, as from now on the promise symbolized by that ring in the middle will keep Justin and Laura from ever drifting apart.
The second to last shot is sort of an homage to I-can't-remember-which Jane Austen film adaptation, which closes with an identical butt-grab. Anyone know the film I'm referring to?
The song is Don't Let Me Fall by Lenka, a wonderful song by a wonderful singer.

A true artist with a style of his own, Santosh creates with passion and imagination maintaining an honesty and simplicity in his food.
Santosh grew up in a small town "Talegaon" three hours from Mumbai, India, with his parents and two elder siblings. As a child, Santosh would help his mother in the kitchen as she was very busy working long hours on the family cattle farm.
Having someone to cook other than his mother or sister was very handy as sometimes his mother would fall sick or travel out of town and eating in restaurants was not an affordable option. The first thing Santosh learnt to make was Chapati, an unleavened flat bread. In time, he learned vegetable and rice preparation.
Santosh never considered food as a career and his parents had hopes that he would pursue civil engineering but this was not to be so. One day, Santosh met an old friend who was studying Hotel Management. Impressed with talk of big hotels, travel, eating different foods and receiving a decent salary, Santosh decided to apply for the course. In those days cooking was not a very reputable profession and Santosh was the first in his village to pursue such a career.
The first year at college was very difficult as the Hotel Management course was taught in English and Santosh's prior education had been taught in his mother's tongue, Marathi. Santosh was required to learn the name of every ingredient in English; every fruit, vegetable, lentil and spice. A practical and well organised student, Santosh used recipes only as a guide, followed his heart and five senses, learning by trial and error and taking a little something from every person he worked with.
What can I say. The food was amazing. Santosh made the whole experience more of an experience than just food. He has such passion for what he does.Rachel Dunn| June 2017
A common misconception is that Santosh only cooks curries, yet this is far from the truth. Yes he is from India, but even Indian food is not just about curries and rice.
Following his studies, Santosh moved to England where his culinary journey continued – he practiced many different cuisines in many different kitchens from aged care facilities to five star restaurants. It was here, that he mastered the fine art of cooking food from all over our beautiful and diverse world.
In 2009, Santosh arrived on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. He was pleased to discover Australians were open-minded when it came to food culture and were happy to try different food combinations.
Ready to combine all his skills and knowledge into one business, Talking Turkey was born: a private chef service specialising in global cuisine and dedicated to creating exceptional culinary experiences; Canapé, Elegant Dining and Degustation. Santosh believes the main ingredients for any kind of cooking is caring and sharing, something he learned growing up in a poor family. He always follows his instinct and inner voice, cooking from the heart for pleasure.
Food was exceptional Santosh has a passion and it shows in his food. I have never tasted food as good as this before. Santosh I wish you every success with your business and in your life. You added a special touch to my son's wedding thank you, Sue.Sue Robbins-Price | August 2017

I don't think I ever remembered smiling so much during a run…normally will only smile widely when there are photographers around, especially if you are those who breathe in or out through the mouth when running. But last Saturday, I was smiling a lot…
Itchyfingers were at the Jurong Lake Run. Just 11 days ago I had a bad fall in East Malaysia and suffered from a swollen shin and multiple big bruises on the left leg. After coming back, I did a 5km super slow walk and was glad that I could still do a slow 4km run despite the injury. But I wasn't too sure if I complete 10km, cos the shin was still swollen though there wasn't much pain….
A selfie of my still bruised left leg…The plaster covered the yet-to-recover abrasion. Will write about this incident in the coming posts…
Itchyfingers were at the middle of the queue to the starting line…
I didn't wanna strain my leg too much so was running at a rather slow pace…The evening was hot and humid when we started running at around 6:30pm. But as I ran, I couldn't help but felt so glad that I was still able to run…The fall could have been much worse…That really brought on a big smile on my face…hahah….
White-bellied Fish Eagle flew across as we ran onto the bridge. Coincidentally, I saw one here when we did our first run with Jurong Lake in 2012! Hahah….
When I finally saw the 9km distance marker, I was really so happy! One more kilometer to go! The sky had long turned dark…hahah…
Tisu Girl completed her run with a big smile!
This was the first time the organiser changed the race to a night race. But I think I prefer my experience running in the morning cos you can appreciate the garden better…
Cos at night, the green spotlights shining on the trees just made them look so eerie, as if a Pontianak (a female ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology) was hiding among the branches…wahahahah!!!!
I think there were some MediaCorp artistes running with us since they are one of the sponsors, but I never seen any one of them. Maybe they were all so fast that the slower runners couldn't catch up… :p
Second night run for this year…I think I still prefer running in the early morning to see the sunrise, rather than see the sun setting…so depressing, as if telling you are running too slow…hahahah

Itchyfingers had mixed feelings the whole of last Saturday – was feeling excited, nervous and uncertain at the same time. Why? Well, the day had finally arrived for Itchyfingers' second Sundown Marathon!
Sundown Marathon will always be special to me cos I did my maiden Half Marathon with them in 2011, whereas Tisu Boy did his first Full Marathon. We didn't do too well, but the first time is always bitter-sweet and unforgettable…hahah….This year, both of us signed up for the 21.1km run
I think we signed up pretty early…was it late last year? Having done quite a number of Half Marathons since 2011, and with about five or six months to prepare, I thought I would be in a pretty good shape for the night run. But sometimes, the more time you think you have in hand, the more you would postpone or delay your plan to do something…For the whole of this year, the most I did were 10 km runs – once with Home Team Real Run just two weeks ago and other times on our own. By the time I realised that I was clocking too little mileage per week, it was already too late…The day, or rather, the night, had finally arrived.
At first glance, I thought the 21.1 km route was quite similar to last year's Great Eastern Women Run, where I achieved my personal best timing for the distance…But on closer scrutinisation, there were actually some variation….Poor full marathoners had to run the long stretch along East Coast Park in the dark again…
The 10 km runners started their run on Saturday 10.30 pm, while the full marathoners were to be flagged off at 11.30pm. half marathoners were the last to start at 12.30 am. The last Sundown I did had a much earlier starting time – 8pm. We arrived earlier but couldn't see the full marathoners' flagged off cos the starting line was inside the F1 pit building. Queue for the loo was super long!
The night was super humid! Was already perspiring before we even started…Finally we were let into the starting pen!
Signages pointing to the different targeted finishing timing were very loud and clear! Good job! For some other runs, I couldn't even locate the pacers….
Decided to try to follow the 2:30 hr pacers… I wasn't too confident that I could repeat my Great Eastern Women Run's timing, but maybe if I could keep them within my sight for as long as possible, I could hope for a 2:40 hr? It would not be easy, giving my lack of preparation…
Flagged off!!!! Bring on the night! I liked the overhead bridge idea!
For the next few kilometers, my eyes were constantly fixed on the pacers' blue balloons. Not that easy to keep up with them cos somehow they seemed to be running faster than the targeted pace. Could be my illusion cos I didn't really check my watch for pace – there were so many watches beeping at the same time, I couldn't really hear mine…The air was still; the road was dark and long and the night was silent. There was not much cheering along the way, and most of the time the only company we had beside the next person running in front or besides you was the tropic's humidity. Yes, it was a very humid night – shortly into the run, I was perspiring all over, with sweat constantly dripping into and stinging my eyes…A slight stitch on the lower abdomen crept in quietly – must be the work of that last snack two hours before…Soon I started to slowly drift further away from the blue balloons…
Couldn't remember when and where did I finally lose the pacers, but I think probably less than four or five kilometers!! Am not good at recognising roads at night, especially when we had to run on some small dark roads. Decided not to run at my own pace instead of trying so hard to keep up with the pacers, in case I failed to sustain all the way to the end. The route wasn't really that smooth sailing, cos certain parts were either too narrow or dim, and some parts were uneven with potholes. I had to really slow down and watch my steps whenever it was dark and bumpy. The slopes were not being helpful too at night, especially the long stretch along Sheares Bridge. Such a killer! Many started to walk, but I stubbornly pushed on, at a painfully slow pace…Since I couldn't hear my watch after each kilometer, I didn't check my pace. Anyway it was too dark to see it without turning on the LED backlight.
LONELINESS. Yes, loneliness was the only word that I could think of. Despite being surrounded by so many runners, the stillness and quietness of the humid night was quite unbearable. We were literally engulfed by Darkness…Halfway through the course at 10km and I realised I was completely thrown out of pace. I was really feeling the heat…Running at night is different from running in the day, cos your sense of distance may be off as landmarks seem further, and with little or no activities on the road, there is less distraction from pain. I don't like to wear earphones as they are cumbersome, though some music is always good to give you an extra push. My motivation was the next water point, which were about 2 or 2.5km apart…I had my water, but I needed some cold isotonic drink to cool down. Unfortunately, I found only two water points with 100 Plus…Quite a letdown. Wasted a bit of time when I turned back at one water point to get a second helping of 100 Plus in case there were no more at the next ones. It was tempting to start walking once you pause for a sip…
An artistically blur photo of the Marina Bay area….Itchyfingers ran this stretch the week before but we did it in the early evening when it was much brighter
When I peeped at my watch at 16km, I thought I still stood a chance for a relative decent personal timing. But I overestimated myself. Was obviously exhausted after the killer bridge. Then a slight right ankle cramp forced me to slow down, missing the opportunity to pick up speed when going downslope along the Marina Bay Sand!
Didn't know the last 5 km would me take so long…The last 1km was really terrible cos even when volunteers shouted, "200 meters more!", there was no sight of the darn finishing line…we couldn't even hear it! To reach it, we still had to make some small turns here and there…Then finally, I heard it! The music! The flash lights from camera! I saw the finishing line!!!!!
The music blasting in the background was "Don't say goodnight". I had no more energy to sprint, so just kept moving my legs across the line…Was glad to have finished the race though my timing really sucks! Hahahah! It was my worse timing for Half Marathon, except that time when I was sick and walked most of the distance; and another when many of us were stuck in a major bottleneck. Tisu Boy was also off his targeted time. But the only consolation? To know that I am actually capable of running longer distance cos the route was definitely much more than 21.1km!! Some people even recorded close to 23 km!! Wahahahah!!!!
But I was really so tired! All I wanna do was to just sit down, take off my shoes and rest those sore feet and calves…Couldn't remember feeling so even on my maiden Half Marathon. Must be the lack of adequate training and sleep… I didn't even have the energy to take out the medal for a photo! Hahahahah!!!!! Really must take my hats off the full marathoners, especially those fast ones…How did they do that?
The hard-earned finisher medal…hahah….
Not too sure if Itchyfingers will be back again next year. Maybe I should swop my useless-at-night camera for a super powerful LED torchlight? Hahaha….

Coventry Transport Museum unveils £8.5m revamp
Plans for an £8.5m redevelopment of Coventry Transport Museum have been unveiled.
The year-long project, beginning on 31 March, will see 12 of the museum's galleries undergo "major makeovers," a museum spokesman said.
Under the plans, the nearby Grade I-listed 12th Century Old Grammar School will also be restored for use as an exhibition, education and events space.
The museum will remain open while most of the work is carried out.
Exhibition galleries would be "significantly" upgraded and new "community engagement spaces" created, the museum said. A new entrance is also planned.
'Proud heritage'
Gary Hall, chief executive of Culture Coventry, which runs the museum, said: "We have been working on plans for this project for over six years now, so it is brilliant to know that work is finally getting started.
"We will have world-class visitor attractions that will bring people from far and wide to find out about Coventry's proud motoring heritage."
He said parts of the museum would be closed off at different times as the work progressed, with "a small number of occasions" when the museum would need to close completely.
The museum, which opened in 1980, includes the Thrust 2 car, in which Richard Noble set a land speed record in 1983, and the vehicle that set the current record, the Thrust SSC.
Mark Jarvis, trustee of the Old Grammar School, said it was a "milestone day" for the building.
He added: "For over 25 years now I have been working with the other trustees to find a sustainable future for the Old Grammar School that would enable the young people of Coventry to enjoy it again as they have for centuries before.
"We look forward to seeing the first people through the doors of a revitalised building."
The redevelopment is being partly funded by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the European Regional Development Fund.


text: I am going through "The Evolving Bassist - Millenium Edition" and am wondering if there is a typo on page 47, Augmented Dominant Sevenths. Bassically, it gives you a key and then writes out the triad and then gives you a scale: ex: C(4) E(2) G#(1) --> Bb(1) C(4) <-- Bb(4) G(1) E(2) C(4) --> D(1) E(4) ^-- F#(1) G#(4) ^-- Bb(1) C(4) Bb(1) --v G#(4) F#(1) --v E(4) D(1) (for C, D, E, F, G, A, B) The fingering and shifts look good (if you can read what I typed, I mean '^--' to mean a shift towards the nut and up a string and --v to mean a shift away from the nut and down a string) assuming you are starting on the A string. This works for C+7, D+7, E+7, and F+7. However, once you get to the G on the A string, either the fingering should change to replace (at least) the '4' to a '3' if he wished you to remain starting with the A string, and if you shift down to start with the G on the D string, the shifts in the exercise should be different (there would be an additional shift). I know I should probably just blow this off and do it the way I think, however, I am wondering if perhaps the book IS right? Are my ideas on fingering somehow 'wrong' in Rufus' universe?

At the end of today, when the indexes are on fire, I will be there waiting for you. <this is where the funny music starts playing> The SP triple threat is approaching the lip of the canyon and watch how the energy turns to flub. A pullback on the horizon I see. Yarg!

NIGEL FARAGE was branded "unfit" to represent the UK after the former UK Independence Party leader criticised Theresa May for refusing to employ him as a go-between with incoming US president Donald Trump.
Mr Farage insisted he could be a "bridge" between London and Washing and described Downing Street's position as "small-minded".
But Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron criticised Mr Farage for continuing to pursue his ambition to represent UK interests.
He said: ""Nigel Farage has absolutely no right to speak for Britain on the world stage.
"The vast majority of British people do not share his hateful vision and want to keep our country open, tolerant and united.
"Someone who has spent their career trying to divide our country is not fit to represent it abroad."
Mr Farage campaigned for Mr Trump during the presidential race and was the first UK politician to meet him following the election.
Mr Trump later suggested Mr Farage could do a "great job" as British ambassador to the US.
Mr Farage said: "If you wanted to get business from the biggest company in the world and there was someone there that had the contacts and connections, the first thing you do is to employ that person.
"I find the fact that Downing Street don't want to acknowledge me, have banned cabinet ministers from even talking to me, it shows you the sort of very small-minded, petty, tribal level that British politics is at - it's a shame."
Quizzed on his relationship with the president-elect and what he would compare it to, he said: "I can't make big decisions, but I tell you what I can do, what I genuinely can do.
"Is I can help to be a bridge between the government in this country and the new trade department in this country and not just Donald Trump, but his team and his administration.
"And I would like to do that."

Assassin's Creed Revelations New DLC Leaked
Peter Donnell / 7 years ago
Ubisoft is set to release some new single-player DLC for Assassin's Creed Revelations according to a new set of achievements that has appeared for the game.
The new levels appear to focused on Desmond and include first person puzzles. The achievement list can be found over on X360A.
Various online retailers have put up listings for Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Ottoman Edition, but the majority of listings have since been pulled. South African retailer AWX still has the Edition listed for release on March 16 and mentions that it will include "free downloadable content."
Fans have been calling out for some more single-player content for some time and it appears that they are finally going to get it, however it doesn't appear to advance the story in any way. As for the Ottoman Edition, it's no surprise. It looks like it's just a Game of the Year Edition, similar to the Da Vinci Edition of Brotherhood that released last year, but if you're yet to pick up the game then you should hold back until this releases.

Shop 'til You Drop
Main-Taunus-Zentrum is a large shopping centre located just outside Frankfurt by the motorway leading to Wiesbaden. The centre is very popular: even though there are 4500 parking places, it is very difficult to find free spot for your car.
On Saturday, we were invited to a birthday party of a two-year-old girl, so we went shopping after the party and arrived to the Main-Taunus-Zentrum at only 7pm. Fortunately, the opening hours here a bit different than in Finland, where everything closes by 6pm. on Saturdays.
After 10pm., when all the other shops were closed, we still went to the Rewe grocery store (open until midnight). That's where the first 'drop' happened: our daughter fall asleep in her pushchair. She was so tired of all the partying and shopping, that she didn't ask for her pacifier.
The next 'drop' waited until the next morning: I fell ill. For a few days now I have had fever and felt sick. But hopefully it will soon pass and I'll be able to go and check the sales here in Wiesbaden!

Get well soon! I wouldn't worry too much about the sales here in Germany- they are so minimal that it's not worth making a particularly special effort! I have never known a country NOT to put calendars in the sale once that particular year in well under way! (Can you tell I was appalled at paying full price? Ha, ha!)

Thanks Fiona!
I saw one winter jacket in P&C before Christmas, which I liked very much. Now it was 50% off, but they didn't have my size in Main-Taunus-Zentrum. I was told that there are two of the right size in P&C Wiesbaden, so I'm desperate to go there before they are sold out!

How to bake yummy, moist moin-moin
Most of us probably have the same memories of making moin-moin while growing up. For some others, it is not a memory; we still make moin-moin this way, using the same process, nothing has changed!
I'll walk you through the memory: One, you know in advance that you are going to eat moin-moin, you do not just wake up and make moin-moin. Two, moin-moin is a Saturday breakfast, paired with pap, sugar and some milk, if you are fancy. Three, moin-moin is something you prep from the night before and that process could be arduous. You begin by selecting the beans and getting rid of stones, dirt and odd bits. Then you wash the beans and this was the part I struggled with a lot! I never knew if just quickly washing it and draining or soaking the beans for a few minutes before peeling the skin was going to make it easier to peel. I struggled!
After peeling the beans – an action which had my palms sore depending on how much moin-moin we were making – we'd then soak overnight so that it is soft in the morning for the next stage; grinding with a blender, or grinding stone, or taking it to a mill. I never liked making moin-moin.
Fast forward to years later as an adult and the introduction of beans powder to the Nigerian market, I was happy! Beans powder – the magic powder that makes moin-moin/akara fast and easy, without prior thought. It felt wonderful to be able to skip the arduous traditional process of the 80s and 90s and I embraced beans powder quickly.
Then I found that beans powder has its challenges. Some brands mix theirs with some flour and you never ever get the same authentic moin-moin taste, which is very disappointing. If you are lucky to find good beans powder, then making moin-moin will become a breeze for you. Using ramekins will make it easier. Using the oven makes moin-moin the easiest thing to prepare!
Ramekins are small ceramic bowls with lids or no lids that can be used for so many things including making moin-moin because they are durable. You can use your ramekin in the oven, microwave, dishwasher or freezer and they are fairly inexpensive. You can also use cupcake pans and bread tins to make oven baked moin-moin. I'll show you how to make moin-moin stress free, in the oven, so that you have flavourful and moist moin-moin every time.
1 Cup Beans Powder
1 Cup Hot Chicken/Beef Stock
2 Cups Hot Water
3 Tablespoons Ground Crayfish
1 Smoked Mackerel, Deboned
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Curry Powder
1 Onion, Chopped/Pureed
1 Bell Pepper aka Tatashe, Blended
1 Habanero aka Rodo, Blended
1 Red Chilli aka Shombo, Blended
1 Teaspoon Paprika powder
2 Seasoning Cubes (Depending on how much you have in your stock)
2 Teaspoon Salt (Depending on how much you have in your stock)
• In a baking pan, pour enough water to fill it and place in the oven under the baking tray where the moin-moin will be. Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Dissolve salt and seasoning cube in a small bowl with hot water.
• Place beans flour, seasoning + salt mix, stock, water, crayfish, vegetable oil, onions, tatashe, rodo, shombo, paprika, and curry in a bowl, and whisk with a hand mixer or whisk to incorporate some air into the batter.
• Spray ramekins with oil and pour in the beans mixture, add smoked mackerel that has been shredded and cover ramekins with aluminium foil if it has no lid.
• Transfer to the oven and leave to cook for 45 minutes, checking often to see that the water underneath the moin-moin has not dried up. The water helps to steam the moin-moin so it does not dry out.
• To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the moin-moin, if it comes out sticky then it needs to cook some more.
• When done, leave out to cool for 10 minutes then tip the ramekins over to take out the moin-moin or serve hot in the ramekin.

LeEco stores in two months, targets 500 stores over one year
BENGALURU: Chinese technology player LeEco which has had a number of launches of smartphones since it ventured into India in late January this year plans to have about 500 brick and mortar stores in India once it receives FIPB (Foreign Investment Promotion Board). Excerpts of a two minute interaction with LeEco COO of Smart Electronics ?India Atul Jain on the side lines of a press conference for the launch of LeEco?s Le 2, Le Max2 smartphones and Le Mall in New Delhi yesterday:
When is LeEco likely to launch brick and mortar stores?
We are looking at FIPB approvals to come. As soon as we get the approvals from the government, we?ll start. It?s been two months since we have applied, normally the approval process takes around 3 to 4 months, so in a month or two we should get the approvals after which we?ll need some setup time.
How many stores are you looking at in the first phase?
We are looking at about 500 stores including franchise stores over the next one year from the date of our first store. Just to give you an update, we have started our brick and mortar distribution which is selling through brick and mortar stores yesterday. So now our Le 1s is available in brick and mortar, mom and pops stores, independent stores, multi-brand stores, besides online.
Do you have the supply chain to these outlets in place?
Yes, we have our supply chain in place for that.
What about your OTT platform? How long do you plan to continue giving it along with the cost of a phone, given that most cell phones now have a usage life of a year or less? Are you going to continue offering the Rs 4,999 Supertainment package included in the cost of the phone?
As of now, that?s what we are announcing. Even for the two new phones that we have launched today ? Le 2 and Le Max2, the Supertainment package for a year is included in the cost of the phone. Eventually in the long term, there will be a payment mechanism. It will be on a monthly basis
What about LeEco?s own production facilities in India?
That?s also coming up. It?s difficult to say exactly when. It?s likely to happen in the next six months or so.
Do you plan to bring the four brands on your OTT platform under a single brand? Do you plan to offer these options separately?
We might. As of now we will offer the subscribers everything. Maybe eventually we will offer subscribers? a choice. As of now we are just trying to get our content to move.

From my own personal experience - The first music I really connected with was early 90s hardcore and then Jungle after that. when my friends got into House music I just thought it sounded really tame and boring in comparison so largely ignored it.
As I got older a really good House night bloomed where I lived in Milton Keynes and despite my protestations we would end up going there regularly. I did eventually get 'it' after getting into ecstasy but despite seeing loads of the best House DJs at the time always felt more strongly about UK Garage and so on after.
When I and others brought up House music to Grime MCs and heads back in the RWD forum days we were quickly dismissed without any real explanation ("we're not doing that detroit shit" is one comment I remember). The other excuse that springs to mind was that is was music for homosexuals.
Times have changed, people have grown older and more mature and a lot of people imo just don't want to rebel any more. House has always been the more acceptable face of electronic dance music and with us now clearly in the post rock era it's not rocket science to work out why it's becoming omnipresent.

The first Japanese-American War ended in 1945. Since then it has been an axiom of international relations that another such war is unthinkable. As happens so often and tragically in history, we are again approaching a point when imagining the unimaginable is necessary.
For the past 45 years, U.S. power was so overwhelming that Japan could not possibly challenge American hegemony in the Pacific. More important, war between the United States and Japan was unthinkable because neither nation feared the other as much as each feared the Soviet Union.
Even today, when economic competition has become brutal, no one has raised the obvious question: can the rivalry between the United States and Japan be confined to economics? Economic rivalry in the 1930s led directly to the first Japanese-American war. Why won't this happen again?

When you have a closet full of hair care products it's easy for a great product to get pushed to the back and forgotten. Motions Marula Natural Therapy Shampoo is one of those products. I just dug it out from the back and it's still amazing! The shampoo is super lush and it doesn't strip my hair or make it dry like other shampoos can. After just shampooing my hair, it makes my hair feel like it's had an instant conditioner on it.
Motions Marula Shampoo is still a winner!

Chicken tortilla soup and chocolate chip cookies are both popular Max and Erma's recipes. Websites such as Robbie's Recipes and Just a Pinch Recipes provide reproductions that closely resemble them.
To make chicken tortilla soup, cook 1/4 cup of flour in 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat for three minutes, stirring often. Gradually pour in 3 cups of chicken broth, and whisk in 1 cup of milk. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in 8 ounces of cubed Velveeta cheese.

There was a recent discussion of this [1] on this list. Generally you should only upload RC bug fixes, documentation fixes, or translation updates to unstable during freeze [2].

Russia's Murky Energy Future
The Rosneft-BP deal could be a major obstacle to economic modernization and diversity.
Earlier this month, the U.S. House approved a bill to establish permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with Russia, also a newly-minted member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). These moves toward integrating the country into the global economy came at the same time as state oil company Rosneft took over the Russian-British partnership known as TNK-BP. But which is likely to have more impact on Russia's fate?
While accession to the WTO can spur trade and competitiveness, don't hold your breath waiting for Russian reform. The $60 billion Rosneft acquisition is likely to shape Russia well beyond the energy industry: it dims the already faint prospects of Russia diversifying and modernizing its economy to become more than a petrostate.
The focus of most assessments has been on how the deal will result in Rosneft, a state-controlled operation run by Putin associate Igor Sechin, becoming the world's second-largest oil company that produces nearly half of Russia's 10+ million barrels of oil per day. With BP buying back 19.75 percent of Rosneft shares, it is also heralded as a new model for joint ventures. This will be critical to the future of Russia's oil industry, as the scale of investment and technologies required to develop offshore Arctic oil will require involvement of the supermajors, the world's largest oil companies. The theory is that Rosneft will benefit from BP management skills and technology.
Some Kremlin watchers also see the the rise of Sechin in Moscow's politico-economic hierarchy, making the Rosneft boss perhaps second only to Putin. Whether true or not, the larger issue is what the newly beefed-up Rosneft means for the future of the Russian economy.
Putin's Antidote to Shale?
The Rosneft deal may have been—in effect, if not intent—Putin's answer to the U.S. shale revolution. Until now, Gazprom, the state-controlled gas monopoly, has been the cash cow for Putin's ruling political network. There is still some head-scratching as to the whereabouts of its $44 billion profits in 2011.
But since 2008, North American shale has taken off, driving down the price of natural gas. Gazprom's future has grown increasingly problematic as the United States has emerged the world's largest gas producer. Since 2008, Gazprom's market value has plummeted from $365 billion to $120 billion. It is being sued by the EU for price gouging and already has had to drop the price of gas supplied to Europe substantially, as shale has driven down the price and made LNG on the spot market more attractive (now nearly 50 percent of the EU market). One need not be a conspiracy theorist to see that Putin's rule will become more dependent on Russia's energy sector—even as Gazprom fades from the scene.
More than 60 percent of Russian GDP is based on oil, gas, and other extractive industries. But Russia's oil output is projected to reach a plateau from the middle of this decade onwards. The Rosneft deal offers new opportunities to harness western technologies to develop the very complex and difficult Arctic resources and the harder-to-get oil in Western Siberia needed to sustain current levels of oil production. It will also tend to reinforce Russia as a petrostate.
Declining Petro-State
The Rosneft deal is likely to worsen what some call the "oil curse," reinforcing state capitalism and reducing incentives for economic reform. Moscow's ascension to the WTO membership in August—the last G-20 nation to do so—raised hopes that the imperatives of new trade obligations and benefits, of a Russia more integrated into the global economy, might spur some of the economic modernization that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (remarkably low-profile these days) has talked up for some time—and that Putin himself included in his campaign rhetoric.
Russia ranks 120th on the World Bank's ease of doing business index. Despite promises of reform, Moscow has yet to transform its image, if not reality, as a corrupt Mafia state. It is some distance from being competitive with major economies in most industrial and service sectors. Capital flight more than doubled in 2011 to $84.2 billion (from $33.6 billion in 2010) and is projected to be some $50 billion in 2012. The current political environment has made it more difficult for small and medium businesses to thrive.
Still more worrisome looking to the future is Russia's brain drain. Over 1.25 million people have left Russia in the past decade, and in a recent poll in Novaya Gazeta, 62.5 percent of 7,237 readers surveyed said they were considering leaving because of discontent with the economic and political regime. This is playing out against the backdrop of negative demographic trends and projections suggest that Russia's population will shrink from its current 142 million to some 124 million by 2030.
Putin's Empty Promises
Russia's president made a bevy of promises during the election campaign: large salary increases for teachers, civil servants and engineers; 25 million highly-skilled jobs; an increase in investment from 20 to 27 percent of GDP by 2018; a move up to 20th from 120th on the World Bank ease of doing business index; and a shift away from dependence on oil and gas. Running for president, Putin also pledged to fight corruption, decentralize power and reduce the state role in "non-strategic sectors" of the economy, echoing many of the reform goals touted by his predecessor Dmitry Medvedev in recent years.
But even if Rosneft provides Putin with walking-around money to reinforce his power structure, he is unlikely to have either the financial wherewithal or the political will to realize most of those things. The middle class that mushroomed on the oil boom of the past decade is increasingly restless. Moscow's budget is pegged to oil at $115/barrel to avoid deficits, but many analysts project a soft oil market with very low U.S. and EU growth and slower growth in BRIC economies. The International Energy Agency (IEA) lowered its forecast for oil-demand growth in the last quarter of this year, and projects less than 1 percent growth (800,000 barrels a day) in demand for 2013. Oil prices may remain in the $70-$100 range. The Russian state bank is forecasting current account deficits as early as 2015.
Since resuming the presidency, Putin has shown few signs of any inclination toward serious reform or loosening control—with the possible exception of the energy sector. , Moscow's behavior and failure to implement key reforms has deepened skepticism about its ability to change. Charges of rigged Duma elections, new laws that penalize protesters, require NGOs receiving foreign funds to register as foreign agents, and censor the internet—and not least, the emblematic Pussy Riot episode.
There is active debate within the Russian elite about the trajectory of Russia's future. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev put forward ideas for the past several years for diversifying the economy, building a competitive tech sector, bolstering rule of law, and taking advantage of WTO imperatives to boost industrial exports and the service sector. Putin has in his cabinet most of Medvedev's liberal economic team such as Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich and Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. Moscow is gearing up for a new round of privatizations and according to the Economist has moved some 600 state industrial firms to a restructuring agency, Russian Technologies, which is attempting to create a Silicon Valley-type technology park outside Moscow.

Filed under: Masturbation,Mindfuck
it all started with an email…
him: Very hard and ready to go.
me: that's a terrible shame. terrible.
him: If you were here, you would so be being fucked right now.
me: you shouldn't tease a lady in heat… just saying.
him: Who's teasing?
me: now i really can't work with thoughts of fucking pounding in my head.
him: What are you going to do about it?
me: i'm going to sit here flushed with dreamy eyes and parted lips and attempt to do this work while listening to music that makes me wanna fuck till i can't stand it anymore. then i'll get my fully charged vibrator out and come harder than i have came in the last few days.
so i sat in my chair. my skin was burning and my cunt aching. this week has been pure torment knowing i wasn't going to be fucked this weekend. so, i reminisce on past encounters and encounters to be had. this new man, this man that i have been emailing for what seems like weeks now, this man drawing out of me this need to come, this need to take care of it, right now.
breathing has quickened.
my heart races.
i lay on the bed and let the pillows envelope me. my hand reaches for the vibrator, i push it between my legs and close my eyes. my body hums, my mind spins and i lick my lips. my teeth bite my bottom lip as my body is in tuned with my racing thoughts. me left hand grips the edge of the mattress and my back arches. i stopped breathing, i'm outside of my body for mere splits of a second. as my back settles i start to gasp for breath and the tears stream from my eyes.
this is bitter sweet and miserable. this is me yearning. this is me not being fulfilled physically. this is a weakened bridge to hold me over till i am sated once more.

Having reviewed varieties from the House of Jerky brand already, I came to this package of "Hot Beef Jerky", wondering if this would actually be "hot" as the label claims. It seems whenever you see a product claiming to be hot, it's usually never hot, more like mild.
A quick look at the ingredients list confirms that this could definitely be hot, combining a mixture of Tabasco Sauce, habanero pepper, and red chili pepper.
If you've read my other reviews of House of Jerky, you'll know that I've given them all "best" ratings, for the taste-complexities, outstanding natural meat flavors, and ease of eating. With such a record of excellence, I wondered if the "best" streak would continue into this Hot Beef variety.
Beef (top round), soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice, water, Tabasco Sauce, habanero pepper, red crushed chili pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, liquid smoke, black pepper, white pepper, ginger powder.
The first taste I sense upon placing a piece into my mouth is a thick sweetness. These pieces are almost like eating a teriyaki variety, with its combination of soy sauce and sugar. The sweetness is so evident that my fingers require some licking before I can press the keys on my keyboard.
But within seconds I feel a tingling on my tongue that strengthens soon after into a mild burn. Continuing on with more bites, the burn builds up more intensity, and I feel a little tingling on my scalp, and the skin on my forehead moistens up a bit, indicating that things are going to get hotter.
I'd rate the "hot" factor as probably being somewhere between "medium hot" and "hot". It's not terribly hot, but just enough to give my mouth a good burn, and make me take a swig of water here and there. It's still just gentle enough to keep me eating straight through, and not have to hesitate between bites.
I can also taste the red chili pepper slightly, and sometimes more strongly when my teeth bite into a seed.
It's not too terribly salty, though the salt taste is also evident here. While the ingredients list includes black pepper, I don't taste much of it. I do see some of it on the pieces, but it appears to be there either for visual effect, or as a very slight taste enhancer.
The natural meat flavors are there, but are more overshadowed by the spiciness and sweetness than with other varieties from House of Jerky. But it's the same great meat taste that I found in the other varieties. And speaking of the meat flavors, it manages to taste fresh considering its absent of any artificial preservatives.
Overall, this is another great tasting jerky variety from House of Jerky. It's probably more accurate to market this as a "sweet and spicy" variety, since you're getting a lot of sweetness as well. Interestingly, the company does offer a Sweet & Spicy variety, which I reviewed earlier, and found to be less hot than this.
Meat Consistency
These are real slices of meat, sliced into medium to thin slices, and in small, medium, and large pieces.
Despite the glossy wet appearance in the photos below, this jerky is largely dry. The sticky sweetness is what makes it appear moist. But it's still easy to tear apart and chew. Some of the pieces did require a tad more effort, but still nothing that would detract from the overall enjoyment.
I found a good amount of fat streaks in these pieces as portrayed in the photos below. But I did not find any tendon or gristle.
Overall, the meat consistency provides a great beef jerky experience.
Snack Value
House of Jerky sells this Hot variety on its website at a price of $10.50 for 4oz package. That works out to $2.63 per ounce. The company says that price includes the shipping. You can also get this at a lower price from one of their many outlet stores across the country.
For general jerky snacking purposes, at the $2.63 per ounce price, I'd say that this has a good value. I'm getting a good deal of snackability from its overall good flavor and meat consistency. That $2.63 price per ounce is higher than the national brands found at grocery stores, but you'll find better flavor and consistency.
As a hot beef jerky, at the same $2.63 price per ounce, it's a decent value. I do get a good deal of heat, at a medium-hot level, along with some chile pepper flavor. Compared to other brands of hot jerky, I've had hotter at similar or lower prices, though not necessarily with as much snackability as House of Jerky.
I'm giving this a "best" rating.
House of Jerky seems to have found a winning combination of infusing together intense flavorings with great tasting meat, all while providing an ease of chewing, in a product that's free of preservatives.
I was wondering if this variety of Hot Beef Jerky would live up to its billing as being hot, and I believe it does. But it's actually a "sweet and hot" variety, or perhaps a hot teriyaki variety if you want to think of it that way, as well as offering some extra chili/pepper flavor sensations to boot.
For my recommended beer pairing, I'd go with a barley wine, where its caramel notes will blend into the strong sweetness of this jerky, and leave you with the heavy malt to balance out the meat flavors. Try an Alesmith Old Numbskull, or a Stone Old Guardian.

There is a control function for every knowledge area. We control the schedule, control costs, control quality, control communications and so on. Each of those control efforts is focused on monitoring performance versus the baseline plan that has been approved. When there are variances between what actually happens and that plan, the control process kicks in. We may respond to variances with corrective action where we make adjustments to bring what's happening into line with the baselines. If the corrective action doesn't work, then we may initiate the change request process, going through integrated change control to secure approval of any change, corrective action, defect repair or preventive action to avoid problems in the future. Change requests for handling variances employ a very large number of tools and techniques and there are a lot of questions on this area.
