For Te Rangitu, practising Ta Moko [traditional tattooing] carries with it the responsibility of acknowledging his Maori beliefs and educating others in those beliefs too. He feels it is vitally important to respect his culture and its traditions, and to encourage that respect in others as well. When I arrived for our interview, he greeted me with a traditional welcome; he welcomed my ancestors, who were walking with me, and also his ancestors, who were gathering. Even though he is living away from New Zealand, he feels it is important to continue these traditional practices. "You're away from your culture so it seems a little weird sometimes," he says, "but you make sure you do it."Read More
Acetates World
Originally from Spain, Acetates (real name Joaquin) has firmly established a place for himself on the international tattoo scene. And it's not hard to see why, with a style that effortlessly combines the traditions of Japanese folklore and Irezumi with Western pop-culture influences to produce visually stunning and highly desirable tattoos. We spoke to Acetates during a recent guest spot in the UK, to learn more about his journey into tattooing and his love of Japanese art and culture.Read More
Enter The Dragon
Following in the wake of the great navigator Marco Polo who brought back wonders from China in the 13th century, Crez found his own source of wealth in the Asian culture of tattooing. After grabbing his first machines when he was 17 and making his way through different styles, he decided to specialise in Japanese. At 40 years old, Crez is still the punk-rocker he used to be and more than ever as a tattooer, he is determined to perpetuate-from his studio Adrenalink in the city of Marghera near Venice-the dialogue between East and West.Read More

NCSEJ hosted members of the diplomatic corps at a baseball game at Nationals Park, in a suite donated by the law firm Foley & Lardner. Guests included the Bulgarian and Lithuanian ambassadors and their spouses, diplomats from Belarus and Georgia, and friends from the U.S. State Department.
NCSEJ Executive Vice-Chairman and CEO Mark Levin led a World Jewish Restitution Organization delegation to Riga, Latvia to meet with government and Jewish organizational representatives about issues of restitution. Members of the delegation included WJRO Washington Representative David Feinman and Elie Valk, Chair of the Association of Latvian and Estonian Jews in Israel. They were joined by U.S. Department of State Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues Thomas Yazdgerdi, and Dmitry Krupnikov, Deputy Chairman of the Latvian Council of Jewish Communities. U.S. Ambassador to Latvia Nancy Pettit hosted a coffee with WJRO and ambassadors from Europe and Israel to discuss the status of Holocaust restitution issues in Latvia.
Mr. Levin also attended Latvia's tenth "Jews in a Changing World" conference in Riga. This year, the conference celebrated Latvia's centennial anniversary and the contribution of Jews to Latvia's founding and development. The conference was organized by Latvia's Council of Jewish Communities, the University of Latvia's Center for Judaic Studies, and the Museum "Jews in Latvia." Financial supporters included the Latvian government and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).
NCSEJ Deputy Director Lesley Weiss joined her mother Irene Weiss, a Holocaust survivor, at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda for the Days of Remembrance ceremony, the nation's annual commemoration of the Holocaust. President Trump attended with Vice President Pence and other members of his administration, and gave the keynote address. Irene Weiss, together with U.S. Congressman David Kustoff, lit one of six candles to remember the six million Jews killed in the Shoah.
NCSEJ leaders attended the quadrennial World Jewish Congress Plenary Assembly in New York City, the first U.S. city to host the Plenary Assembly in the organization's 80-year history. The Plenary Assembly drew 800 Jewish leaders from diverse communities across six continents, with substantial representation from Eastern Europe and Eurasia. NCSEJ CEO Mark Levin joined President Alexander Smukler and Vice-President Martin Goldstein at the conference, and Senior Program Officer David Shulman attended as a member of the Jewish Diplomatic Corps, WJC's young leadership group.
NCSEJ hosted a meeting with Moscow Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt and Conference of European Rabbis Chairman Boris Mints at its offices in Washington. The community leaders gave an update on Jewish community issues in Russia and activities of the Conference of European Rabbis.
NCSEJ Deputy Director Lesley Weiss met with U.S. Department of State Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues Thomas K. Yazdgerdi and Ambassador of Ukraine to the U.S. Valeriy Chaly.
NCSEJ hosted a meeting with newly appointed Georgian Ambassador to the United States David Bakradze, and visiting Georgian members of parliament Tamar Chugoshvili and European Integration Committee Chair Tamar Khulordava. Leaders discussed the history of Georgia's Jewish community, its government's work to promote interfaith tolerance, and Georgia's relations with the United States and Israel.

How to Keep Traveling When You Aren't Studying Abroad
By Caroline Eaton of Lee University 12/24/14
How do you adjust from traveling for a whole semester to life back in your college town? Try working travel into your life at school.
Anyone who's spent a few weeks, or even a whole semester, studying abroad knows how hard it can be to return to school and stay in one place. As great as it can be to be back on campus with friends, nothing compares to the time you had abroad, so sometimes life in your old college town can be a little dull.
Personally, I studied abroad during the summer, so I've always had a severe case of travel fever during the school year. Eventually I had to fight this bug, so I got off of my "travel dreams" Pinterest board and found ways to work travel into my normal semester at school.
Here's how it's done:
1. Change your expectations. In order to work travel into your daily life at school you have to shift your mindset and get creative. If you're like me, you may have taken for granted the fact that you were traveling almost every day on your study abroad. Now that you're back at school traveling is a luxury instead of a norm, so in order to make it work in your regular routine you need to see it that way.
2. Take day trips. Open up your map app and find cities that are close enough to drive down for a day to explore! For me, this means traveling from my small town in Tennessee to Nashville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Gatlinburg or the Blue Ridge Mountains. Each destination, even though they are close to home, makes a great day trip that breaks up my school routine. If you work hard to find unique spots and experiences in each place it will feel like sight-seeing all over again. To make the trip worth it pick a destination within three hours of your college town.
3. Take weekend trips. Have a weekend free? Jump in your car and hit the road! Weekend road trips are great experiences to have in college, and they allow you to travel farther than you could for a day trip. Pick places to visit that are between 1-5 hours away to make the trip worthwhile. Stay with a friend in the area or use couchsurfing for a new experience and free place to stay, or try a hostel.
4. Join organizations that take trips. For two years in a row I got to travel to NYC with my school newspaper. Because it was a group trip we got really good deals, and some expenses were even covered by the school! Look for organizations that offer trips like these during the semester.
5. Travel on school breaks. I know it's tempting to hit the beach on spring break, but why not use that time to explore somewhere you've never been instead? Pick a city you've always wanted to visit, grab a few friends and plan the ideal weeklong trip. I would suggest picking a destination you can get to by no more than a day of road-tripping so that you can spend as many days as possible seeing the city.
6. Save money! Take advantage of your burning travel fever and set a budget for yourself that allows money to travel often. It will be easier to skip eating out and avoid impulse buys when you've got a travel goal in your sights. Put away money each week toward a travel fund that can cover gas, lodging and all activities you may want to do on your trip.
Even though your time studying abroad was once in a lifetime, that doesn't mean all traveling has to stop when you get home. Take advantage of these tips and make travel part of your normal life back at school.

I always find the grocery store to be an adventure; from the twitching drug addict cashier, to the cute little old people that ask your opinion on milk. Today was no different. As I moved through the grocery jungle with my little ones today, I had a simple list, milk, bread, and tomato paste (for a suuuuper yummy marinara sauce that simmered in the crockpot all day today), of course this simple list turned into a cart full, but that's another story….. So there was a cheese sale!! If you didn't know, here cheese is that magical ingredient that if added in large quantities to any meal it can turn even the must disgusting meal into something edible (not really, but this is a common belief apparently among house wives here in the Rockies 😀 ) So as I threw myself into the lions to grab some I noticed a stuffy looking woman ditch her cart in front of the refrigerator doors… I contemplated to, move or not to move, hmmm. She had headed down another isle leaving her cart. So I took the plunge, I moved it reached in and grabbed my cheese, quick like a cheetah. Then enters Little Miss Stuffy, "You don't have the right to move my cart" blah blah ( I'm a wife, mother, sister, and daughter, I am super good at ignoring people) I excused myself and left to finish wasting my husbands paycheck with blah blah blah still going in the distance. As I left the grocery store I saw her complaining to a cashier about some bratty woman shoving her cart. I resisted the urge to run forward and happily declare responsibility ( but I do have a life ). I literally have a strange experience every time I ever set foot in a store, restaurant, or school; my husband thinks I'm weird/obsessive for caring, my mom claims I attract strange incidences (such as a cashier coming around the till, opening, and giving my toddler a package of Oreos I had just purchased, out of the blue… weird). But my sister usually texts me about strange encounters weekly, so I know I'm not alone! What are your stories? Has anyone ever come pushed your cart? 🙂

Not Enough Hours In The Day..
I'm at my mum's place at the moment, blogging on her state of the art laptop. To top off a week of having no heating and no hot water in my flat – a water pipe burst somewhere in Camberwell yesterday – resulting in me having no water at all!
I've noticed that if I miss a day of blogging, visits to my site drops by half. Actually, if I blog but fail to mention it on Facebook – visits drops by a half. Trouble is, there's just not enough hours in the day..
This diagram pretty much sums up my life at the moment.

I am wrapping up last year's beach vacation in the scrapbook & found a great sketch to use for one of my photos over at Grand Diva's Scrappy Place. I also participated in the Scrappy Friend's Bonus Challenge by adding the "This or That" element from Rochelle Spears.
I used a "polaroid" frame & Pink Paislee Atlas paper. Cut some dies from my Cricut, of course.
Good Challenges - go play along!
Thanks for looking!

The contribution of Don Nguyen to video games for smartphones doesn't end with Flappy Bird. Shuriken Block is another example of a simple yet addictive game. It comes along with exactly the same features, in other words, retro graphics and simplicity.
Save the samurais from the shower of shurikens
In Shuriken Block we'll find a group of samurais standing still in front of us, and we have to save them from the danger. This danger is none the other than the shurikens that fall from the sky and that we have to stop by simply tapping the screen. The more accurate we are tapping the shurikens, the higher our score will be, but we have to take into account that the more we manage to stop, the faster and more often they'll fall.
Protect these samurais that are incapable of getting out of the way.
A game that proves that you don't need a confusing plot to succeed
The simplicity of the games created by the Don Nguyen, signed as .GEARS Studios, is one of the keys to their great success. The abovementioned Flappy Bird or Super Ball Juggling are examples of the latter, and Shuriken Block is a serious candidate to become the next big thing in terms of smartphone video games.

They have come so far in 9 months.
When we told Kate we were going to adopt a little girl from China, she was over the moon about the idea that she would have a sister. She was so excited and so sweet while we waited for Vivian. I had a lot of hope for their relationship, but I also wondered what the reality of having Vivian here would mean for Kate.
I worried.
I worried because for six years (SIX YEARS!) Kate was the princess. Our first and only girl. On Rob's side of the family, the ONLY girl for a long time. I worried that once Vivian arrived Kate would NOT be so excited about the person she would have to share the spotlight with. I worried it would be hard for Kate.
And it was.
Kate heard she was getting an almost 3 year old sister and she had grand ideas of how they would play dolls and house and share a room and on and on with all these ideas she had in her head of how it would be. She could NOT wait.
Then she got her sister. And her sister was scared. And quiet. And didn't understand our language. And had NO idea how to play, or pretend. She only wanted me 99% of the time and Kate was crushed. And sad. And frustrated.
I kept trying to reassure her that one day Vivian would want to play with her. One day Vivian would prefer her to me. But I heard a lot of comments those first few weeks like, "She doesn't love me", and "She only wants you", etc. Kate acted out and Rob and I knew she was reacting to all the changes in her life. There were tears and tantrums and all the things we saw with our other two kids when a new sibling was brought home.
It was hard.
The thing is, Kate never gave up. She never turned on Vivian. She just kept trying. And slowly but surely, we started to see their relationship bloom. Vivian started to become more interested in Kate. She started to trust Kate. She became less worried about being attached to me at every moment. Kate's efforts started to pay off.
And now, they are like sisters. It has been the coolest thing to watch happen.
Now, Vivian waits all day for Kate to come home from school. If it is not a school night, they beg to sleep together. When Kate walks in the door from school, Vivian does not leave her side. They even share a chair for snack time every day b/c Vivi wants to be RIGHT next to Kate.
What I want Kate to know one day is that this is all because of her. Because she kept on trying. Because she took a back seat. Because she gave Vivian all she had and showed her grace as she struggled to adjust to our family.
Because of Kate, Vivian is learning how to be a sister. Because of her, Vivian knows about playing dolls, and school and house. Because of Kate, Vivian has learned the joy of playing and dancing and pretending and twirling in "twirly dresses."
And more importantly, Vivian has learned about love. Kate has shown her such a great example of love. The kind of love that is patient, and kind.
The kind of love that does not envy. That is not easily angered.
The kind of love that always protects, always trusts, always hopes
and never fails.

Bill Moody, 58, who entertained WWE fans for years as the spooky manager "Paul Bearer," died Tuesday evening.No pun intended, but may he rest in peace. I say no pun intended because in the beginning this was the Undertaker's catchphrase. Below in the [VIDEO] is some of Paul Bearer's finest moments in the WWF (get the E out!).
Moody debuted in the WWE as Bearer in 1991, managing the supernatural Undertaker. Bearer was a former funeral director who guided Undertaker to the WWE title, until turning on him to start managing Undertaker's brother, Kane.
Moody left WWE as a full-time perfomer in 2002, but had returned sporadically since then. The cause of his death was not immediately known.
"WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of William Moody, a.k.a. Paul Bearer," the company said in a statement.

All countries; from developed to developing and under-develop to economic in-transition are faced with the common challenge of providing safe, quality and affordable healthcare. With this, the priority of the dental care ignored by the developing and under developing nations. The idea of mercury free dentistry still just has had in very little in professional level only. Therefore as the relationship between human health and environmental pollution or degradation be-come increasingly clear, so global nations need to be aware and consider this dimension. According to the national perspective no initiative has been carried out on dental amalgam in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and India. ESDO is the pioneer organization of Bangladesh of awareness creation on harmful effects of Hg dental amalgam. However, that initiative was covered in small scale.
As Global Alliance for Mercury Free Dentistry have had international interventions, though it need to create effective global impact for awareness and policy advocacy. As an environmental organization ESDO focused it intervention on human health and environment as high priority area. It's continues study findings prevail that mercury dental Amalgam is the cause of contamination of soil, water and air. But this is not properly address in the public awareness campaign. So, ESDO believe it is high time to refine our approach and find the appropriate media to disseminate this information and a clear message of the consequences and the remedy.
Mercury treaty is now on the table and to be signed the document by October 2013, and going enforce immediately. So, this is the high time to inform the people and boost up the policy makers to implement the treaty. By population Asia is a largest continent and the south Asia is the huge populated region and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan are the major populated countries in this region and vulnerable in terms of chemical and environmental pollution. That is why; our focus intervention is this region. ESDO maintains very good relationship with other countries as it worked with partner organizations of India and Nepal. Moreover, Bhutan and Pakistan are informed about ESDO achievements in plastic waste management, e-waste management in Bangladesh and its global interventions. Therefore, ESDO can able to carry out the proposed project in this region.
Why Audio-visual media
Information carries a message and communicates the message is very important, but medium of communication is most important; it has had accepted that the audio-visual messaging is the most effective and easy to communicate to the audience. So, audio-visual message and information on hg dental amalgam can create significant impact to the global societies and the policy change.
Therefore, this way of intervention will create countrywide mass awareness about Hg free dentistry in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and West Bengal & Assam of India as well as the globe and help to prepare a policy guideline and encourage global government to formulate a policy on use, sale and import of Hg dental amalgam and protection of human health and environment. Moreover, through this project one or more countries of this region will become a role model for other LDCs/developing countries to initiate such awareness raising activities and stop use of Hg dental amalgam through phase-out mechanism.
Public awareness (Bangladesh)
Five public awareness open forum in Dhaka and Chittagong, Rangpur, Khulna and Sylhet city of Bangladesh will be conducted. Main target groups will be student, teacher, local elite, paediatrician, dentist, journalist, gynaecologist, rural dental practioners and public representative. Video documentary will be shown in workshop as discussion of key massage. IEC material will be distributed among participants. News release will be published in different news papers. Events activities will be publish / broadcast through social media like twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
2.2. Mass awareness through consultation, film show, school awareness, media campaign
2.2.1. Prepare a multimedia based video documentary
Produce a 7-10 minute video based documentary on Hg dental amalgam and its impact on human health and environment. Documentary will focus on health and environmental effects of Hg dental amalgam and its remedial measures. Expert's opinion of Hg dental amalgam will also be included in the documentary.

Schèi Ge-BOO-ertsdag Louis
The wallpaper was created by stamping the border stamp from WMS Victorian Frippery in purple and embossed in clear - I wanted that wallpaper feel as well.
Using various Spellbinders squares and a Movers and Shapers window die cut I created the window and the frame. The ghost was cut using a Sizzix original and the bat and spider were cut using a Cuttlebug cut and emboss set. If you look carefully you might see the little moon I tried to create through the window by masking and distressing. The spider web border punch is from EK success.
Louis isn't an English speaker so I knew "Have a Spook-tacular Birthday" would have gone over his head, and opted for "Schèi Ge-BOO-ertstag" a corruption of the Luxembourgish "Schei Gebuertsdag". I thought I was really clever coming up with this until my son James told me that the word BOO is unheard of in Luxembourgish. Oh well perhaps he'll get it one day.
I'm entering this in the Waltzing Mouse Challenge WMSC120, though I've taken a fair bit of artistic licence with Clare Buswell's brilliant sketch.

Great card, Kath! If it is the Louis I'm thinking it could be, he'll be delighted with the unheard BOO..(hi,hi)... LOvely background and great work with the cuttlebug!!!ReplyDelete
Oh this is an adorable sketch card! I love how you used the window die cut with the ghost and bat peeking through. The spider is spectacularly creepy hanging from the web!ReplyDelete
Love that spider web die and the cute spider in the corner. Great take on the sketch!ReplyDelete
This is so cute, in a Halloween sort of way. Love that little spider (even though in real life, I'm afraid of them). Great job with the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge.ReplyDelete
Well, Louis needs to learn BOO..."party pooper"....hehe!! Lovely Halloween card!ReplyDelete
Fantastic Kate, I love it, great color combo and spooky images :) I love how you used the background stamp from Victorian Frippery for the background paper.ReplyDelete
This is so cool, I love the spider. I'm sure it was very well received :)ReplyDelete
Such a cool Halloween card! Love it :) Thanks for playing with us at WMS!ReplyDelete
This is so much fun, love the web border.ReplyDelete
What a fun card. Love the little ghost and bat peeking out from behind the window! So glad you could join us this week at Waltzingmouse!ReplyDelete

What's on your Top 5 video games list?
1; Resident Evil 2
2; Final Fantasy X
3; Okami
4; The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
5; Resident Evil 4/Code:Veronica
Resident Evil 2; This has been, and probably always will be, my favorite Resident Evil game. It's not as scary as it used to be to me, what with the old graphics and sometimes hilarious voice acting, but things still manage to jump me, even though I know the game by heart. The story also remains very important and interesting to me, all these years and sequels later.
Final Fantasy X; This game has been my favorite Final Fantasy since I played it, which is sad since IX used to hold that spot, but X just had so many elements that I was completely drawn to. The beautiful world plagued by "sin" the religious references, the diverse cast of characters, and the story was just so heartbreaking. I loved it, and I still can't listen to the music that plays during the ending without crying.
Okami; Granted I still haven't finished this game, but I think that it took a kind of overused story and added an amazingly fresh twist to it. It's a blast to "draw" on things, and the wolf is surprisingly capable in battle, which I loved. Not to mention the game itself is absolutely breathtaking in scenery and effect.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; Yes, all of the Zelda games are the same thing, over and over, but I felt like TP added enough fresh new elements to really sort of give a new breath to the series. Midna for one thing, was an incredible touch, and the graphics were quite beautiful. The wolf link thing was also new, and the much more interactive horseback, as well as more three-dimensional backdrop characters.
Resident Evil 4/Code:Veronica; These two games tie for me, because they're both sequels for my favorite characters, and they're both such good games. Granted, 4 IS a little bit better than CV, but not enough to matter in my book. The stories are both important, in some way, and while not completely connected, it's still my Resident Evil love. Claire is finally reunited with her brother in CV, Leon has it confirmed for him that Ada is in fact alive. There's also annoying helper characters that you have to play as at some point. Although Steve is vastly more useful than Ashley. Because he has guns.

The Cinematologist is back and this week he's reviewing the first-person, Sharlto Copley starring vehicle Hardcore Henry, released earlier this year. The film was generally mixed with critics, but did The Cinematologist view it positively?
A man wakes up in a Moscow laboratory to learn that he's been brought back from the dead as a half-human, half-robotic hybrid. With no memory of his former life, a woman who claims to be his wife tells him that his name is Henry. Before she can activate his voice, armed thugs storm in and kidnap her. As Henry starts to understand his new abilities, he embarks on a bloody rampage through the city to save his spouse from a psychopath (Danila Kozlovsky) who plans to destroy the world.
Started in 2009, The Cinematologist features Jake Miller, a filmmaker trying to make it big. He loves film and everything about it, and likes to chime in his two cents when it comes to all the movie buzz going around town and the air waves.

|NOTE: Please have respect for the trails. As most of these trails are mainly used for hiking and the hikers are the ones that usually take care of the trails. Try to stay to the main trail (no creating your own shortcut) and try not to ride the trails in the rain or when they are wet as this damages the trails (sometimes this cannot be avoided) We do not want to destroy the trail for the hikers or the bikers.

Become a daring "pixel ninja" in a new game from Gameloft set in the trendy 8-bit style graphics called Ninja Up. Global leaderboards will have you coming back for more as you strive to become the supreme Ninja. A simple, yet addictive game uses intuitive swipe controls as you draw ropes across your iOS devices screen that allow your pixel ninja to reach new heights. These ropes allow your ninja to launch up the screen higher and higher through the air, but the higher he climbs the more obstacles he faces. Hit one of the obstacles and you must be as quick as a ninja to draw a new rope or he falls to his death.
Ninja Up is completely free in the iOS app store and offers no in-app purchases, but it does have ads, so watch where your fingers are swiping. All the ads I saw were for other great games from Gameloft, so if you see one you like, simply click the ad and you'll be taken right to the App Store where you can quickly download it and get back to Ninja Up. Don't click the ad if you're currently enjoying one of your highest scoring games though since your pixel ninja will fall to his death. You can download Ninja Up for your iPhone, iPad, & iPod touch. Android users can expect to see Ninja Up very soon too.
Jump as high as you can with the most daring pixel ninja!
Will you jump gradually and carefully, or shoot for the moon with wildly high leaps of faith?
Bounce all over, but be sure to dodge enemies and obstacles. Flying ninjas, or even UFOs, will try to stop your ascent from the busy city to deep space!
Will you kiss the sky, or kiss the pavement?

These antibiotics kill the bacteria that commonly cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children.
Most antibiotics come in pill or liquid form. Some antibiotics may be given as a shot. The doctor may give antibiotics in the vein (intravenously) if your child is younger than 2 to 3 months old, is very ill or nauseated, or has a severe kidney infection.
Antibiotics treat a UTI and prevent complications of infection such as kidney damage.
Antibiotics also prevent infections in children who have had or may be at risk for recurrent UTIs. The doctor might prescribe preventive antibiotic therapy if your child has:
Doctors are undecided about how long a child should take preventive antibiotics. But some experts believe that long-term use of low-dose antibiotics can safely prevent UTIs in children, especially in children who have vesicoureteral reflux.1 Whether long-term antibiotics prevent kidney damage needs more study.
Antibiotics are effective in curing most UTIs. Your child should feel better within 48 hours after starting the medicine. If your child doesn't feel better, call your doctor. Your doctor probably will prescribe a different antibiotic.
Common side effects of antibiotics used to treat UTIs include:
Severe allergic reactions to antibiotics are unusual but do occur. They include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Give your child the antibiotics as directed. Do not stop using them just because your child feels better. Your child needs to take the full course of medicine. If your child does not take all of the antibiotics as prescribed, the infection may return. Not taking the full course of medicine also encourages the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. This makes antibiotics less effective and bacterial infections harder to treat. Antibiotic resistance among bacteria that cause UTIs has increased steadily in recent decades. Your doctor may have to prescribe different antibiotics, and different combinations of antibiotics, to find the right medicine that will kill the bacteria causing your child's UTI.

What else can I add? I want to taste it and experience it. Until then I can say nothing else, how else can I judge it? Knowing several other McAllans, I can say with certainty, it must be superb!
3rd May 2013
You are an arrogant S.O.B. I have tried several McAllans and everyone is superb. You know nothing about taste, breeding or anything "normal". You see yourself as an aloft P.O.S. that feels him/her self above and beyond ev everyone else, which relegates you to the trash heap of cheap, worthless pieces of s*** world wide.
You are a fricking dumass. Misspellings intentional so as to defeat the sensors.
Americans who bought this or pretend to have are either gold chain adorned brain addled rapp singers with too much money and no sense or wanabees of same, English folk who bought it are crazier than the norm there and all the rest just have most of their brain dissloved by the wonderfull gloww in the dark chemicals in their coke or cheep vodkas. the one thing we dont have is any real idea of what this thing tastes like, because if you think about it for a minute, the time of people who make or have enough money to buy this or be worth getting that as a gift is way too dear to spend it reading and writing in posts like this. so please have the decency to be poor in silence and stop behaving like you are on a reality show. some of us still want the real stuff, like actual reviews. thanks.
9th January 2013
I think this is one of the definitive whiskies. Maybe some day I might taste such a wonderful thing. I'm sure it's better than the 18 year but I wonder how it compares to the other Macallans.

First of all, to my unrefined friends, please disregard the silliness of the posters who must belittle the upper eschelon of society. I had a couple of swallows of M55, I must say my upturned nose went even higher in the air! knowing that you could feed a small village of people with each sip made me want to gulp, but common sense and a refined tongue restrained the action. I poured a bit out of my snifter and onto my jacket potato, mixed it with sour cream and bacon, and went on to eat that too. To better understand the complexity, try to dump a few drops of bitters into your M55, you will be pleasantly surprised. :)

must be simply amazing. still i am starting to think that macallan and retailers around the globe play dearly with prices. i have bought a macallan 1994 vintage from gordon and macphail but i just cant seem to find over the net to compare prices. actually i cant find it anywhere. macallan has mixed up its name into may different bottlings, years, collections...this confuses the consumer

But How Much!?!?! but if i did drink i would go for a bottle of JB any day
17th March 2011
i wanna thank everyone for this because i was wondering if this site filtered out negitive reviews and only kept positive ones, i see now they filter out nothing, also the reviewer in question got the result he was looking for. on a lighter note (true story) i had a friend over and he was fixing himself drinks all night, next morning i noticed most of my bottle of hennessy vsop was gone, later i called and asked him if he drank it and he said" yeah i mixed it with cranberry juice" he truly had no idea how much it cost or what it was he just figured since there was no beer he thought he'd mix himself a drink lol, anyway cheers to everyone out there.

I have never had this, nor will I likely ever.. However, there is nothing finer than coke zero and a good single malt. It hides out the hideous flavors that come with scotch, and amplifies the sweetness of the coke zero. Great match!Try mixing with sunny D

Yall got to much money to be blowing that amount on whiskey? Seriously get real, why don't you invest that money into getting homeless children of the street.
26th February 2011
thanks all for the moments of comedy i had while reading the many comments, me? i think ill stick to Penderyn!
16th February 2011
Only one hundred were available for U.S. market. So it does not make sense for this product to have been reviewed here at all. The product was announced in 2007. So, inheritance and/or multiple gifts do not make sense.

One of my friends got me a bottle of this swill for my birthday as he knows me as being quite the drinker. Had a few pulls on this and immediately wanted to throw up. Quite possibly the worst thing I've ever had the displeasure of tasting. We mixed it with a good amount of Brisk Iced Tea and proceeded to play pong with the final amount, decided after wards to salvage this dive of an evening with some of Canada's finest, and classiest Whisky, that of course being the ever famed Black Velvet.
28th January 2011
That's ridiculous. Everyone knows you mix single malts with original coke to draw out the flavor.
27th January 2011
I have sampled this bottle. It is ok, I guess. I had a few measures over spicy chicken wings and fried cheese. The spice of the drink was lost to the buffalo sauce, but the more stringent qualities worked well in washing down the mozzarella sticks. Switching back to my bud light was a nice relief though, as I didn't see what all the fuss was about.
I say old man, what what, your inference of interference is somewhat trifling in it's pomposity. Ho hum. Piffle and tosh. I too will never taste such masterful concoctions of the overly wealthsome and endowed members of society, but fear not sir, we can but stand in the shadows of bankers, landed gentry and the new rich with our mere 12 year old malts. (or indeed a 6 pack and a prostitute, oh to hell with it, 6 prostitutes!)
You could get a highland park 50yo for 10 grand...
11th January 2011
I have been reading this thread of reviews and what a delight! This is some of the funniest stuff ever. All the serious commentators need to have a good stiff drink and lighten up. We all need a giggle from time to time.One question "Just Brought a Bottle" - where did you bring it from?
5th January 2011
It is a blasphemy to mix the gorgeous Coca Cola Zero with doubtful expired liquors that Scots think so high of. Coca Cola Zero should only be mixed with Johnny Walker or, of course, Jack Daniels. God bless America! And God bless proud Americans.
15th December 2010
While I do have a (some may say very juvenile)sense of humour, can these comments not be monitored to ensure that those of us who would appreciate mature observations on the various whiskies don't have to sift through some of the nonsense posted so far? If these idiots feel they must post such infantile dross, there's always Facebook.
Why are we destined to suffer the interference of those who wish to disparage, but with little wit? Ho hum. I don't, and never will, know what it tastes like - but would like a true report of what it does to palates who have the chance to experience it.
7th December 2010
I can`t believe anyone would spend nearly £10,000 on a bottle of anything!Its a crazy price to pay, there are hundreds of great single malts and blended whiskeys out there.For your average bloke in the street Bells, special reserve is nice £15.00 worth anybody`s money, if you want to spend a few quid more, Talisker 18 year old is nice and the best single malt in the world ( allegedly ) a 20 year old Yoichi from Japan, yeah you read it right, JAPAN is priced from £150 to £250. But if you`re buying it yourself Bells special reserve will do, if offered then try the rest, if you`re a millionaire go for it, i hope its worth the price!
6th December 2010
Dash of water only, anything else and you're being ridiculous.
4th December 2010
id like to ask if we can could get back to proper reviews of the actual product. i myself am not a connosseur and so would rely on the individuals who are! i cant afford this but if i could i would appreciate an adult review to help my choice.
25th November 2010
I would rather have a 6 pack of Coors light and a cheap prostitute. Have a better time and pocket about 9950.00 to boot
16th November 2010
Perhaps it's made with real bits of panther?
Why is this so expensive?
11th November 2010
Best we have ever tried, got 5 for sale if anyone wants one for £5000 each as we got them as gifts and have too many to get through on our own

whiskey tastes like poo....i bought a 1.5l bottle of vodka for 13.50!!well nicer ha ha ha
26th September 2010
Don't worry about the Oik there on the second comment, he won't ever taste or appreciate good whisky, or indeed know his backside from elbow.
20th August 2010
Re: 'Quite good, but not great'... of course it's a wind-up, people that are questioning it are the idiots!!!!! It's quite amusing too, people need to crawl out of their own backsides and rediscover their sense of humour.
No Bottle of any Blended Whisky comes anywhere near the quality of any McAllan Single Malt. I have had the 25 Year Old and it was Sublime and I can only imagine what a 55 year old would be like.The 2nd Poster is just an Idiot who thinks it is fun to wind people up as he gsts his kicks from people getting upset to his silly posts. It does not work though as anyone with sence knows what he is trying to do and can see that it is true that he is an ablolute IDIOT!!!!
8th August 2010
The socond review must be a joke. Even an imbecile will realize this is nothing like a simple JW blend. To mix with cola is blasphemy and to drop and shatter the remainder is a crime worthy of the noose!
30th July 2010
I bought Mac 25 never having tried scotch whiskey before and completely enjoyed it. A 55 year Macallan i can only imagine the difference in complexity. You were both lucky/unlucky to have inherited a Mac 55 and your father would have slapped you with a cold fish for mixing it with coke zero.
23rd July 2010
I usually prefer Johnny Walker Black, but I had to make do with this as a "gift" i found in my fathers collection when he passed on. It was a pretty good balance of taste and goes very well in a Coke Zero. So you mix this in with some ice and Coke Zero and its a real hit. Sadly I was only able to drink half of the bottle, got a little too tipsy and dropped the bottle, shattering it and wasting half, but like I said it wasnt really that good.
11th July 2010
I bought a few of these when they first came out - made a spot of money selling a couple on and am keeping one safe. However the one i'm currently drinking is simply wonderful; rich, spicy, oaky, nutty and with the most intense colour, well worth every penny (£282.50 per measure), stacks up well to DP 1995 and DP vintage rose price wise, but so much more fun! I'm hoping to win the macallan that Harrods have up for auction soon - only a 50 year old but one of three in the UK!

Let's face it, OSS, or Operational Support Systems, can be incredibly challenging beasts. You're possibly one of a very unique breed – one of the many highly intelligent people who work on OSS. So why, with that much intellectual firepower, are OSS still so rarely tamed? Read on.
If you're taking a closer look into what this book contains, it's safe to assume that you have either already experienced the world of OSS or are about to come along on its exciting ride. This book isn't based on the history of OSS or academic theory, nor even a deep-dive into the technologies that are currently in vogue within OSS circles. With the speed of change in our industry, they're unlikely to be in vogue for long anyway.
No, this book is based on the enduring techniques, tools, processes and insights that have been developed and refined whilst implementing many different OSS. Are you responsible for OSS delivery (or about to be)? Well, this book is for you because it's an implementer's guide to OSS. But if you expect it to dive into the technical minutiae of implementation, then it's not for you and can't be for you because every OSS project and OSS product is just too different to capture in suitable detail.
Since that's mostly a description of what it isn't, you're probably asking what it is. Well, it's built upon 22 of the most commonly asked big-picture questions in OSS, particularly by readers who have yet to tackle every facet of OSS implementation before. Each question has its own dedicated chapter, so if you have a particular question in mind then you can go straight to the content that's most pertinent to you. You could read every chapter in series too but your OSS is probably consuming too much time to afford you that luxury.
Are you interested to know what those questions are and whether they align with any of the challenges that you're currently facing? Since there's a chapter dedicated to each, you'd probably guess that the Table of Contents would show the list of questions. You'd be right. The Table of Contents is shown in the "Look inside" link that you can find below, but we'll summarise for you here too. Saves you a few precious minutes.
After an introduction section, the following questions are answered for you:
- What is an OSS exactly?
- What is the history of OSS and related standards?
- Why are common OSS terminologies important?
- Where do you start when planning an OSS/BSS project?
- How do you prepare a compelling OSS business case?
- What are your biggest risks and how do you manage them?
- Why is OSS change management important?
- Should you perform an OSS impact analysis?
- Why are OSS naming conventions so important?
- How do you capture OSS requirements?
- How do you define your organisation's OSS roadmap?
- How do you select an OSS vendor / integrator?
- What insights can help your OSS negotiation strategies?
- Who should be in your OSS implementation team?
- How do you plan to conduct OSS testing?
- How do you define and refine business processes?
- What do you need to know about data collection and reporting?
- How should you kick off an OSS project?
- How do you coordinate a vendor-led implementation?
- What post project operations issues should you consider?
- What training should you take?
- What does the future hold for OSS?
Chances are that you have quite a few other questions. It's also likely that quite a few of those questions are answered somewhere in the book too. If not answered in the book directly, they are probably covered in the long list of external materials that are referenced, including the PassionateAboutOSS blog.
And that's still not all. Do you like analogies? Most people do, especially when the subject matter is complicated, like OSS tend to be. Well, to close out the book, there are also a few analogies for you to consider:
- The television analogy
- The chess-board analogy
- The air traffic control analogy
- The radar analogy
- The puppy analogy
You're probably wondering what television, chess, air traffic control, radar and puppies have to do with OSS. As unlikely as it sounds, they assuredly do.
Would it be right to say that you're facing a significant transformation with your OSS (it feels like every day is a transformation in this industry doesn't it?) Well, this book has been written to show you how to get your organisation ready for the big changes that an OSS project will cause. Not only that, but to then carry your OSS into an exciting new era. "Mastering your OSS" has come about because the same questions keep popping up on each of the OSS transformation projects the author works on. Each time, the tips, tools and techniques get refined that little bit more.
OSS are entering a period of massive change, with disruptive innovation impacting any organisation that is dependent upon communications networks. This includes traditional Communication Service Providers (CSPs), their modern evolution into Digital Service Providers (DSPs), Utilities, Data Centres, Content Providers and Enterprise / Corporate organisations.
Each have different business models and different key metrics – speed to market, innovation, flexibility and customer relationships are vital differentiators for many of these organisations. Despite what others say, we know that these are all attributes that our OSS can either help or hinder. Successful organisations achieve agility and responsiveness through their OSS, whilst others are prevented from changing quickly because of the complexity of the OSS. On which side of that coin does your OSS and your organisation reside?
In "Mastering your OSS" you'll learn many counter-intuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you, ideas that have been built and refined over more than a decade of practical experience. "Mastering your OSS" shows you better, faster, easier, less risky ways to implement all aspects of your OSS projects. With straightforward language and a simplify-everything approach, "Mastering your OSS" is the innovative playbook for anyone who has been tasked with implementing an OSS project.
Jim Rohn said that, "You can have more – if you become more." This is as true of our OSS as it is of ourselves. Many people use the name Operational Support Systems to put an electric fence around our OSS, to limit uses to just operational activities. However, the reach, awareness and power of what they (we) offer goes far beyond that. We have powerful insights to deliver to almost every department in an organisation – beyond just operations and IT. But first we need to give them something useful. "Mastering your OSS" gives you the insights to help inspire you and your OSS to become more.
If you're ready to lead your OSS into an exciting new future, then click on the link below and let this book help you to Master your OSS. But, this book is probably not for you. Buying this book puts you into a unique community, the OSS community, one that Apple accurately referred to as, "…the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things different." This book certainly applies to those who see things differently, or would like to.
Not sure whether "Mastering your OSS" is right for you? Would you like to take a look inside? We'll send you a copy of the first two chapters and the Table of Contents.
You're great at what you do and since you're in OSS (or are about to be), chances are you're a great questioner and an awesome problem solver. Therefore it's natural that you might still have unanswered questions – questions like:
- I'm not sure if the book applies to my specific OSS; or
- My role is highly unique and you couldn't provide any insights or tools that are relevant to me; or
- The technologies I work with are old / current / futuristic so your approaches couldn't possibly be relevant to me; or
- I don't even use the term OSS anymore because it conjures up images of clunky old solutions so how can an OSS book relate to me; or
- I'm not sure whether the selectable geographic regions in the order form apply to me; and
- So many other possibilities.
There's a simple answer to all of those questions – Send us a message via the contact form below and try us out. We may not have every answer for you, but we're sure to try.

What can we learn from the tone and language used by journalists covering the UK disturbances? Where did journalists get it right and where could it have been done better? How can we ensure our coverage accurately informs the public debate – even when under intense pressure?
Getting it so badly wrong
30 years ago, while editing one of my radio reports on the sixth floor at BBC Radio Merseyside in Liverpool, I looked out of the window and noticed a large plume of smoke. My instinct was to drop everything and chase fire engines.
The news editor gave me the keys to the new, brightly painted radio car. I was expected to report live from the scene in the next bulletin. I had 45 minutes to get there, park, raise the transmitter mast, establish a signal and report.
When I arrived at Myrtle Gardens in the Toxteth area of Liverpool the fire had spread through the entire tenement block. Fire crews were attempting to contain the flames as police tried to control a swelling crowd.
The police let me through and I was able to park close to one of the fire engines. I had just enough time to ask a fire officer whether there had been any casualties. "Not that we know of," he said, "but there are still people in the building."
To my left I saw people leaving the burning tenement block arms laden with TVs, pots, pans, kettles, boxes, bedding and all sorts of possessions. I thought this was an important line – residents risking all to salvage their valuable positions. What an idiot I turned out to be.
I started to scribble a script ready to go live. I wound down the windows so as to include the sound effects. The studio engineer asked for a few words for audio level.
"You silly bugger, they're not salvaging, they're looting"
A policeman had walked up and was leaning through the window. I tested my broadcast levels. "Residents are attempting to salvage what they can..."
The policeman tapped me on the shoulder. "You silly bugger, they're not salvaging, they're looting and you need to move."
As he was speaking the top of the hour news jingle played, the news presenter back in the studio read the one line intro to my report, and I was live.
Retaining objectivity and fact checking under pressure
I can't remember what I said in that report, but I do remember the radio car being attacked with sticks, and the police fighting off a group of lads as I tried to explain to the BBC Radio Merseyside audience what was happening. Fat chance, I didn't have a clue.
And I have no idea what language I used, but it's highly unlikely it would have been objective or accurate. I would have tried to describe what I saw, but I hadn't had time to talk to anyone involved, apart from asking a fire fighter about casualties. I had absolutely no chance of figuring out the context for what I was seeing.
Was the police officer correct in describing those leaving the building with items as looters?
I could see what was happening, but I didn't know why it was happening, who was taking part, or what was motivating them
I don't know, I could see what was happening, but I didn't know why it was happening, who was taking part, or what was motivating them.
I was a young reporter having just joined BBC local radio from newspapers. I was excited, frightened and confused.
And I had just become the first BBC journalist to report live from what was to become known as the Toxteth riots of 1981.
So I can fully understand why some reporting from the scene on the first night of the London disturbances used language such as "mindless violence", and "violent mob", but watching the reports made me wonder what we have learnt in the 30 years since the first major inner city unrest.
How can we do better? Probably by taking time to figure out what journalists should and should not do in such circumstances. My rule, from that day on, was to only report verified, sourced and attributed facts – never my opinion, my personal social perspective, or my emotions - certainly not my assumptions.
Any thoughts? Has anyone got examples of the good and the not so good in the recent coverage? If so, please add them to the comment box below or on our Facebook page.

Product Description
"The Ark of the Covenant" and the "Holy Grail" are the most famous lost artefacts in history, but everything from armies and cities, to plays and poems, have been swallowed up by the sands and seas of history, leaving behind only legends to tantalise and inspire archaeologists and treaure hunters alike. Is there any evidence of El Dorado and Sodom and Gommorah? Have we really lost plays by Shakespeare and dialogue from Aristotle? Will divers ever find the Golden Hide or Columbus' fleet? And where are the resting places of a host of bodies, from Ghengis Khan to George Mallory?
About the AuthorJoel Levy is a writer on science, psychology, history and the paranormal, and the author of several books, including: - Really Useful - the history and science of everyday things. - Secret History - hidden forces that shaped the past - Boost Your Brain Power - a guide to testing and improving your mental abilities, from memory and problem solving to creativity and emotional intelligence. - How 'Perfect' is Your Partner? - co-author of a comprehensive guide to testing whether you and your partner are compatible. - KISS Guide to the Unexplained - a beginner's guide to historical secrets and mysteries, the paranormal and supernatural. - Fabulous Creatures - about creatures of myth and folklore. - The Universe in Your Pocket - a pocket compendium of essential facts. - Technocreatures - a guide to the exciting new science of biomorphic and biomimetic robots - robots modelled on animals.
The Vanishings,
Joel Levy's "Lost Histories" is an interesting survey of a whole range of ancient and historical mysteries. The mysteries involve people or treasures or cities that went missing, but Levy is pretty skeptical in his approach. If you buy the book expecting that the mysteries will be solved by appeals to supernatural or extraterrestrial forces, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you are looking for a book that nicely recaps the mysteries and summarizes modern thinking about them (as I was), you'll really enjoy "Lost Histories".
|William Holmes "semloh2287" (Portland, OR USA)
Levy covers many topics in fairly short chapters--some of the stories will be familiar to those who enjoy tales of historical mysteries, but others (like the lost army of Cambyses, the lost Persian Fleet, the fate of King John's crown jewels and the tragic loss of the White Ship) seem fresh, at least to me. The book is divided into several sections, each of which includes several chapters. The section on "Lost Places" discusses Atlantis, The Temple of Solomon, The Library at Alexandria, Camelot and El Dorado; the section on "Lost Artefacts, Works and Relics" covers the Ark of the Covenant, the lost dialogues of Artistole, the Holy Grail (whatever it was), and Shakepeare's "lost" plays; "Lost Treasures" deals with the Dead Sea scrolls, King John's jewels, treasures of the Knights Templar, Montezuma's treasure, the buried pirate treasure of Captain Kidd, and the Oak Island Money Pit; "Lost People" explores the lost Persian army of Cambyses (swallowed up by the Egyptian desert), the location of Boudicca's grave, The Lost Colony of Roanoke, and, of course, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart; finally, the section on "Lost Wrecks" seeks the location of the Persian invasion fleets lost during the wars with Greece, the White Ship, Spanish treasure galleons and Lord Franklin's ill fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage.
I found Levy's book to be quite readable, although the number of topics covered means that he doesn't get into any of them in great detail. Each chapter comes with a list of references, which will help the reader who wants to dive more deeply into the topics that Levy surveys.
All in all, this is a fun, entertaining little book, and one of the better expositions of historical mysteries that I've encountered. Based on my experience with this volume, I ordered up Levy's "Secret History" and "The Doomsday Book" and look forward to some more enjoyable reading.
