For someone who did play in his predecessor, this one is not easy at all. You may have enjoyed winning on the earlier Project Diva, but this one is quite hard. No level is easy as I can to find out after getting knocked out a number of times, even on the easy mode. It can be disgusting if one is playing competitively but if one has been winning all along in the first version, well this one is for you.
The goodness about it is the return of the Edit Mode- 747MB free and can be downloaded from the PSN store- for anyone who wishes to edit the game to suit them. The accompanying songs however can be downloaded, although these user-created tracks can hove some copyrights in different places, you may need to confirm in you region. The list is good but it misses that catchy ones, having a total of 20 of them, returning a number of them including Sakura No Ame- Cherry Blossom Rain- enhanced from the earlier version in which Miku was singing and dancing under a cherry blossom tree with a few outdoor likes of a school here and there.
The new version has Miku with more power and style. She walks around in her old high school uniform while recording as a school teacher in Japan, quite interesting!
The 2nd version is still the best though, from the menus to the characters and Star notes makes a return although the design is not amusing at all. Activating it with the touch screen, back touch pad or the analog sticks do no good at all because the earlier one had no issues. The goodness with the recent version will be enjoyed more by someone who played the first version; otherwise it won't bring the goodness desired. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd is a good rhyme game, am sure all fans will like the tunes.
In short, this version will not require one to go for any Japanese classes although knowledge on some katakana will help figure out on the way in the menu. In the diva room, lots of reading will help one know what they are doing while an advanced level of Japanese will be required to get the meaning out of the music editor commands. If you know nothing about the Japanese, just stick with the default songs. I can summarize this one as 9/10, not bad though!

Earlier I mentioned how bad the Hasegawa 18C is. Well the D isn't any better. In their defense, these are old issue models, that have been reboxed. Both share the same sprues, with a added one thrown in to make the D (2 seat) model. A late 70s kit, that was updated with engraved panel lines in the mid 80s. Now molds are showing their age with flash, warpage and shrinkage.
On to the kit
With these decals
To show how old the parts are, the sprues were labeled F-18a/TF-18A. Made before the training version got the "B" designation.
The part number is molded into the part. If its large enough. Typical, 1970s stuff
Even with that thought, Hasegawa always has been known for really good molded in detail. Look at the wheel well and gun vents. There are recent releases from other companies that are no where near this good

sadho ram bina kachhu nahi
Nothing separate from God
O holy man, there is nothing separate from God.
God is in front and also behind.
And it is God speaking through me.
God is in the North and the South.
He is also in the East and the West.
God pervades Heaven, Hell and Earth,
And He reposes in the universe.
God is in your standing and sitting,
And he is in your waking and sleeping.
I see nothing but God everywhere.
For He is immanent in His creation.
God resides in all things that do not move,
And in all beings that do move.
Realize Him in the Word, full of love.
God's existence is eternal,
He is the universal speaker.
Continuously devote yourself to Him,
And always sing His glory.
Kabir says, "God abolishes your ego".

Double win for AIM and Taypark House at 2015 D.I.A. Awards
AIM recently attended the 2015 Dundee Institute of Architects award dinner and were delighted to receive two awards for their work on Taypark House. AIM were awarded prizes in 2 categories - Best Regeneration and Best Interior Design.
Taypark House is an elegant Category B Listed former Scots Baronial mansion house dating from the 1860s. It stands in Dundee's west end Perth Road area within stunning mature garden grounds which slope from north to south and has outstanding views across the Botanical Gardens towards the River Tay and hills of Fife.
It has been sensitively restored by client Richie Hawkins, under Aim Design's guidance, to its former glory and now offers a private boutique guest house of unique character and historical reference. The teapot tearoom and former smoking / billiard room offer spaces to enjoy afternoon tea or a private function. Each bedroom boasts its own large en-suite bathroom fitted out in period Victorian sanitary ware. Bedrooms take full advantage of the 180 degree panoramic views across the botanical gardens towards the River Tay and Fife hills beyond. Many spaces present quotes referenced from Dundee's Jute industry and the origins of Taypark. Climb the stair to the reading turret or relax in a roll top looking over the Tay. The boutique hotel and eatery has become the go to destination for tourists and locals looking for a tasty treat where scenic views of the river Tay can be appreciated while admiring the ornate grandeur of this impressive listed building.
DIA awards for District 10-01
We are delighted to announce that Dundee Institute of Architect's award dinner was a very successful night for AIM. We were lucky enough to be presented with 4 awards for the container building at District 10 Seabraes.
Best Commercial Building, Best Client (Scottish Enterprise), a commendation for best interior design, and the Supreme Award for best overall project!
For more information click here
Shipping Container Building Complete
Construction has recently been completed at PV Flexible Unit 01, a new 3 storey office building created from shipping containers to provide low cost accommodation for the creative media industry of Dundee. The building has attracted a great deal of interest from prospective tenants the first of which will be occupying the building in early November.
The building has achieved a B+ energy performance rating and is being assessed for a BREEAM accreditation of 'Excellent'. Building users will enjoy the benefits of low energy costs and a thermally efficient building.
The building recently received a commendation in the Scottish Design Awards.
Dwell @ Carbeth - Planning granted for new dynamic insulation house
Aim has secured planning permission for the 'Dwell' sustainable house type at the Carbeth Estate, North of Glasgow.
The client's site commands a prominent, elevated position within the grounds of the estate, with striking views north-east to the Campsie Fells. Situated on a natural level outcrop, the building nestles into the contours of the hillside.
The house obtains influences from Scottish rural vernacular architecture that abstracts and modernises the traditional dwelling form into a building that is sharp, energetic and well detailed.
With the primary objective focused on sustainability, the house is openly orientated south east and north west to achieve a balance between solar gain and summer cooling; the concreted ground floor will act as a thermal sink for this heat gain.
A thermal stove, located centrally in the main open-plan living area effectively acts like a vertical radiator rising through the space. This is complemented by an electric boiler and water storage, combined with an external air to water heat pump to provide enough energy for heating, hot water and under floor heating.
The panel formed assembly construction system by Dwell is fundamental to the dynamic and sustainable aspirations for the dwelling.
Loch Ness Shores, Inverness - Completion scheduled for late Summer 2013
Construction work for Aim's comprehensive and environmentally sustainable scheme design for Loch Ness Shores camping and leisure development is well under way. The destination will provide an amenity and leisure environment of the highest quality and architectural character to compliment the rich beauty of the Foyers area and provide a key tourist destination on the south shores of the loch.
The development uses locally sourced materials and has received significant SRDP support, secured in part by the unique panel system developed to construct the buildings and the aspiration to ultimately achieve the BREEAM 'excellent' benchmark. Work is scheduled for completion during Summer 2013.
Aberdeen Science Centre - Raising Awareness
Recently featured on the STV and BBC news channels, Aberdeen's Satrosphere Science Centre is planning a significant upgrade of its current facilities. The proposed £7 million refurbishment will double the size of the existing centre and will substantially increase annual visitor numbers.
The redevelopment will allow the centre to create vibrant learning, teaching and corporate spaces in which its live science shows and interactive exhibits can be displayed and integrated.
As part of the refurbishment, there will be a shift in focus to the science of 'energy', which provides a relevance to the re-branding of the 'Satrosphere Science Centre' to 'ASC+'.
Dr Paul Jennings, chief executive of the centre, said: "The plan is to completely refresh the centre and in doing so create a dynamic and contemporary showcase for science in which audiences are actively encouraged to learn through 'hands-on' enquiry.
"Successful science centres draw on the context of their local science and 'energy' was a theme that came up consistently in our discussions with stakeholders in the City and Shire. Our plans will enable us to create a credible science centre which places a spotlight on the expanding energy sector."
Dwell Animated
Aim's development of 'Dwell' a typical sustainable house type and proprietary energy efficient construction system considers five key factors - energy efficiency, sustainability, design quality, flexibility and affordability.
Napier University are currently assisting Aim in promoting our 'Dwell Sustainable Homes' house type by producing an animated fly-through which highlights the structural and sustainable attributes.
The animation illustrates how the panel formed assembly construction system by Dwell acts as a heat exchanger and transfers heat energy into a whole house heat management system. The system achieves an extremely high thermal efficiency and minimises the requirement for supplementary heating.
DUSA Mono Bar Complete
Having worked in close collaboration with the Dundee University Student Association on several refurbishment projects, Aim were commissioned to design a new bar and associated seating area for Scotland's No.1 Student Union's biggest nightclub, 'Mono'.
The club's industrial aesthetic was the primary influence for the design approach. Clad mostly in OSB, with the incorporation of bespoke illuminated signage and wall graphics, the bar maintains a distinctive and contemporary aesthetic which complements the existing and actively promotes the club as one of the best Student leisure destinations.
Construction work has now been completed, with the bar successfully opened in March 2013.
District 10 - Containers on-site
As recently featured on STV news, construction work is progressing well on PV Flexible Unit 01 at Seabraes Yards, Dundee. The unit is the first commercial unit in Scotland to be built from recycled shipping containers and marks the initial steps toward fully realising District 10's creative media district masterplan which outlines proposals for nine separate container units.
Alongside Scottish Enterprise, the project has been jointly funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Tayside charity Matthew Trust and the Scottish government.
Scottish Enterprise director of business infrastructure, Allan McQuade, said, "District 10 is an exciting new development that will stimulate economic growth both for Tayside and the wider Scottish economy by further enhancing Dundee Waterfront's reputation as a first-class location for business.
"District 10 has been designed specifically to meet the needs of early stage businesses in the sector that require flexible accommodation which will allow them to grow as part of a vibrant creative industries community."
The development is expected to be completed in Summer 2013.
IDEABOX touches down
The IDEABOX has just been craned into position at its first location - Monifieth High School.
Visitors are able to record their messages about what they would like to see from their new community centre and can visit the website www.monifieth-ideabox.co.uk to fill in an online questionnaire.
We look forward to further developing the proposals for a new Monifieth Communtiy Centre.
Thank you to all of the sponsors who helped to make the IDEABOX possible.
Dwell Sustainable Homes 1st Birthday
1 year ago AIM decided to set up Dwell Sustainable Homes in order to give both private clients and developers the chance to build truly sustainable yet affordable houses.
Since then Dwell Sustainable Homes have exhibited at Glasgow & Harrogate Home Building & Renovation shows and have developed huge interest in a product that is clearly leading the way in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency.
2012 is looking like it will be a big year as we will see the first houses go on site. In addition to this construction is due to start on Loch Ness Shores, a camping and leisure resort whose design is based upon the Dwell Sustainable Homes system.
To keep up with all the latest news and events concerning Dwell Sustainable Homes visit the website at www.dwell-homes.co.uk
As part of an ongoing feasibility study for the creation of a new community centre in Monifieth, AIM are currently constructing the 'ideabox'.
Made from a shipping container and fitted out with the generous help of local contractors, the ideabox will act as a consultation venue where members of Monifieth Community Centre Steering Group will engage with members of the public to get their views on how to develop a centre best suited to the needs of Monifieth as a whole.
Visitors to the idea box can record their thoughts and opinions on video as well as speaking in person to the people behind the project. In addition to visiting the ideabox in person members of the public may also have their say online by filling out the idea box questionnaire at www.ideabox-monifieth.co.uk
Aim @ 10
Our Practice celebrates its 10th Anniversary in 2010. Our routes of inauguration stretch back to 1926 with former titles of W M Wilson and up to 2000 The Wilson Partnership.
The 2000 aim rebrand was a natural progression to identify the diversity of our emerging strengths in Interiors and Media Designs to compliment our long established history as Chartered Architects.
The last ten years have been extremely fulfilling with major Architecture, Interior and Media Projects completed. Aim's client base has expanded to include several public bodies as our work becomes recognised nationally. Projects such as The Seabraes Masterplan, Dundee Science Centre Phase II, Scottish Housing Expo and Prototype work for Skills Development Scotland have raised our profile beyond our anticipations.
With recent recognition on the DIA and Dundee Civic Trust Awards for our work in the Commercial Interior and Residential Sector, aim look forward to the delivery of future projects, including the 102 bedroom De Havilland Hotel at Dundee Airport, and the first PassivHaus certified Showroom in Perth.
Our research into Zero Carbon Initiatives and the adoption of PassiveHaus energy standards has been instrumental in delivering several private and commercial commissions. In a time of great uncertainty for many, we envisage a positive 2010 and look forward to the future delivery of our broad project base for our diverse and dynamic client base.
To celebrate our 10 years, aim integrated a vital move to new premises at the City Quay and a much needed re-structuring of our internal organisation, culminating in the launch of our new website.
Aim at 10 will be holding an evening celebration in 2010 and hope to see you for a glass of wine soon. Details to be released shortly.
Seabraes Masterplan
Aim commence the New Year with a successful bid to develop a new market and masterplan strategy for the Seabraes Area, Greenmarket, Dundee
Aim will be working closely with our client, Scottish Enterprise and the Local Authority to develop a new model for supporting the creative industries. A sustainable strategy for housing development will be part of an approach of versatility to respond to the current fluctuating market.
Skills Development Scotland
With our constantly high performance in Interior Design, aim were invited to prepare a concept proposal for the re-organisation of the Careers Scotland Centres on behalf of Skills Development Scotland.
The proposal investigates the interaction of a client base with a new facility focusing on engaging and approachable spaces with emotive and reactive graphics.
Skills Development Scotland have now approved aim's concept as a model to develop a Prototype Centre in Dundee. Works shall progress on-site soon.
Trio of Awards at Dundee Institute of Architects 2009
Aim were delighted to receive 3 awards in November 2009 from the Dundee Institute of Architects.
Awards for Interior Design were received for Blackadders Property Shop and McIntyres Phase II. A further award was received for the Glenagnes Road Housing Development in Dundee. Our respective clients, Blackadders, McIntyres and Glenagnes Developments Ltd were delighted with their success.
Dundee Civic Trust Award
Aim and Byzantium Ltd were successful at the Dundee Civic Trust Awards in October 2009, receiving a commendation for the Hawkhill Tower, a mixed development of residential and commercial on the North West Gateway to Dundee's Cultural Quarter
Aim Historic Scotland Listing Imminent
Designed in 1939 of Art Deco style, the North Tay Centre – built for McGregor and Balfour Ltd, has been identified as a future listing by Historic Scotland. The untouched interior (formerly occupied by Muirfield Construction) is a rare example of the quality craftsmanship recognised as ground breaking as we entered the modernist era.

Callum Walker Interiors Passive Haus
A new showroom for Callum Walker Interiors in Perth integrates the latest in energy recovery systems and air tight construction. CWI aims to be the first commercial premises in the UK to achieve compliance with the stringent PassivHaus UK criteria. With a completion date in 2010, aim are pressing forward towards tender stage.
AIM's Ged Young Stands Down as President of Dundee Institute of Architects
Partner Ged Young stood down as the President of the Dundee Institute of Architects in 2009.
Ged leaves behind a restructured awards process and rejuvenated annual dinner. His 4-year commitment as Vice President and President enabled the successful integration of a national structure to the DIA Awards, filtering through to RIAS (Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland) as the regional submission to the UK's most prestigious Architectural Prize, the Andrew Doolan Award.
A revamped annual dinner places the awards at the heart of the night and has assisted in chapter attendance doubling over the past 4 years.
As Editor and Designer of the DIA Magazine Dialogue for the previous 4 years, Ged has passed on the developed format to the DIA Committee for future promotion.
Ged thanks the DIA, in particular the support of his Vice President, Willie Watt and Secretary Roger Brunton for their consistent and endless support and looks forward to a successful 2-year term for the incoming President, Willie Watt. Ged retains his involvement on the DIA Committee as past President and continues to represent the DIA at the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) as part of the Awards Committee.

Renal Artery Stenting and Bypass
Surgical Associates of Marshall County offers treatment for renal artery conditions, including renal artery stenting and bypass in Albertville and Guntersville.
When blood flow is restricted in the renal arteries, it limits the amount of oxygen-rich blood that reaches the kidneys, which can result in an increase in blood pressure, damage to the kidneys and hinder kidney functioning. Often, this restriction requires surgical correction, which can be performed by the expert surgeons at Surgical Associates of Marshall County.
What Causes Renal Artery Conditions?
The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste from the body and need the blood provided by the two renal arteries to function properly. When this circulation is restricted by the build-up of fatty plaque along the artery walls it is known as renal artery stenosis, which can lead to reduced kidney function and kidney failure.
Risk factors for renal artery stenosis include:
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Advanced age
- Family history of cardiovascular disease
The condition often does not produce symptoms until it worsens. You may not notice the issue until your blood pressure rises significantly, your kidneys cease functioning effectively or your doctor notices abnormal laboratory values or other indicators noticeable during a routine physical examination.
Renal artery restriction may also result from renal vein thrombosis, in which a blood clot breaks free to become lodged in a renal artery. Renal vein thrombosis is often caused by nephrotic syndrome, infection, arterial injury or tumor and may cause symptoms like:
- Leg swelling
- Enlarged kidney
- Abdominal or leg pain
- Blood or protein in urine
- Vomiting, nausea or fever
- High blood pressure
- Breathing difficulties
If you believe you may be suffering from or at risk of renal artery restriction, contact Surgical Associates of Marshall County immediately to undergo testing and receive renal stenting and bypass treatments.
Treatment of Renal Artery Conditions
Your surgeon may use open or endovascular surgery to relieve renal artery restriction. The form of surgery used will depend largely on the nature of your condition.
- Renal angioplasty and stenting will often be used to correct renal artery stenosis. This procedure is performed by guiding a small balloon through the artery to the area of the blockage. The balloon is inflated to even out the plaque build-up and a tube of wire mesh (stent) is inserted to support the artery walls and prevent further restriction.
- Renal artery bypass may need to be performed when stenting proves ineffective. This procedure involves attaching a substitute artery to the renal artery, providing a secondary route for blood to reach the kidneys.
Your surgeon will be able to determine which surgical method will be safest and most effective in treating your condition using diagnostic procedures like CT scan, angiography, ultrasound or arteriogram.

SACRAMENTO, Calif - The UCSB Men's and Women's cross country teams both finished 14th Friday morning at the 2016 NCAA West Regional, led by strong races by Adam Avila and Jenna Hinkle.
Avila had a lifetime best performance to finish 19th and claim his first West All-Region honors. He covered the men's 10K in 30:04.
Hinkle put forward a very strong showing to place 31st in 20:20 for the women's 6k.
The women's squad improved from 20th last year. Both squads were the second teams to finish from the Big West Conference.
Adam Avila was the story of the day as the senior put together the finest race of his UCSB career. Placing himself right in the front pack from the beginning, Avila hung steady with the leaders.
"I felt really good out there, but I wanted to be ready for that big move that I knew that was coming" Avila reflected.
That move came right after 5k, when the pace shifted and Oregon standout Edward Cheserek broke away from the field. Avila would not waver and fought to hang on to the pack through the tough last stages of the 6.2 mile race.
"I didn't even know the splits I was hitting, I was just focused on not letting go. All I could do that last stretch was try to keep my form together as I felt the pain and lactic acid set in"
The grit paid off as Avila was rewarded with a time of 30:04 (4:50 avg/mile). His 19th place would qualify him for his first All-Region honor and was a huge jump from 84th last year.
Following Avila was another breakthrough race by a senior on the team, as Andrew Verdin became the Gaucho's 2nd runner for the first time in his cross country career. In his 10k debut, Verdin demonstrated great focus from start to finish to place 89th in 31:42.
Jackson Bright and George Baier finished closed behind as they rallied together to finish 93rd and 96th with times of 31:45 and 31:47. Rounding out the scoring was Carlos Guijarro who finished 113th in 32:12.
"Our two seniors stepped up big time and put on a great show out there" assistant coach Darius Terry told the team after the race, "It was a little disappointing to see the rest of the team struggle, but the good news is that they will all be back next year a stronger and closer team."

Jenna Hinkle concluded an excellent junior cross country campaign with her best regional showing to date. Hinkle got out with the top women and worked hard to maintain contact throughout the race.
"The race went out pretty fast, I think we went through the first mile in 5:18 and 2 miles in around 10:45. I did my best to hold on and not give up any places" Hinkle reflected.
Hinkle's strength was apparent as she maintained her composure and kicked it in to 31st place in a fine time of 20:20 for the 3.73 mile race (5:27 avg/mile). All of her hard work this past year had paid off as this was a big jump from 116th as a sophomore.
The 2nd scorer for the Gauchos would be freshman Katie Camarena, who would would make a great comeback from conference to run a solid 21:21 to place 82nd in her debut regional meet. Sophomore Miranda Ross would follow in 92nd with 21:32 in her first regional showing as well.
The Gauchos fourth runner would be senior Kelsey O'Connell, concluding a well run XC career with 21:54 for 121st. Rounding out the scoring for the women would be freshman Celeste Wilson, clocking 22:10 to finish 144th, a great sign of things to come for the young freshman.
"I thought the women ran well out there and ended the season on a good note" stated Coach Terry, "we bounced back from conference, earned some valuable racing experience, and set ourselves up well for the future of this program."

Major Ian Hill died after a decade of ill health which he said was caused by Gulf War Syndrome, a disputed condition the government has never agreed exists.
The Cheshire Coroner ruled he died of natural causes, but said his service in 1991 had "contributed" to his death.
Major Hill's family said that was the closest a coroner had come to linking the syndrome with a serviceman's death.
Coroner Nicholas Rheinberg told the inquest at Warrington Coroner's Court: "It is not for me to make sweeping conclusions based on a day's
hearing as to the instance of Gulf War Syndrome."
"I am going to describe his death as natural causes to which his military
service in the 1991 Gulf War campaign contributed."
The inquest heard that the father-of-four, from Knutsford in Cheshire, had 20 years experience in the army before 1991.
He flew out to the
Gulf in January of that year to serve with the Royal Army Medical Corps.
His duties involved setting up operating surgeries for the treatment of casualties in hospital.
Tablets blamed
According to a statement written by Major Hill before he died, he became ill
within a week of flying to the Gulf - and a day after taking tablets to combat the effects of nerve agents.
He developed flu-like symptoms including severe coughing, fatigue and neck and
muscle stiffness, and was diagnosed with bronco-pneumonia.
Despite numerous
courses of antibiotics he did not improve, and was sent home after a month.
He suffered 10 years of ill health including memory loss, chest infections, mood swings, headaches and breathing problems, and died in
his sleep in March 2001 at the age of 54.
It was a step toward official recognition of the illness and would have a "massive" effect on pension claims, he said.
"The Ministry of Defence has flatly denied the existence of Gulf War
Syndrome, we are not going to stop until it receives the recognition it
More than 3,000 veterans from the 1991 conflict have said they have
suffered from Gulf War Syndrome after developing inexplicable ailments.
The symptoms include kidney pains, memory loss, chronic fatigue, skin
rashes and mood swings.
They have blamed the cocktail effects of nerve agent
pre-treatment tablets, vaccinations against anthrax and botulism, and
other experimental treatments for the symptoms of Gulf War syndrome.
'Fairy tales'
But the MoD says the range of illnesses is so wide, there can be no distinct syndrome or specific cause.
In June this year Gulf War veteran Shaun Rusling won a landmark legal battle against the MoD, when the High Court ruled he was suffering from an
illness linked to his service and was therefore entitled
to a war disability pension.
His widow Carole
Avison, 56, told the inquest she had met many of the sick veterans.
The common factor among them was the
vaccinations they were given and tablets they had taken, she said.
"I have seen this group of people and I have listened to them, and I don't
believe in fairy tales," she said. "Someone had given them a death sentence."

I know, ok, I get it. I'm guilty of last-minute shopping. It's not an accident that someone coined the phrase "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy." Someone went through some stuff to come up with that phrase, let me tell you.
I'm in a giving kind of mood today, so I decided to help you. Here are some things that you should never, under any circumstances, ever get your Mom for Mother's Day.
* Another hand painted ceramic piece of pottery. I mean it was cute the first time, and if you have grandkids we might give you a pass on this until they're like five. Seriously, we have enough of those things to fill up an entire cabinet in our kitchen, and we're running out of room in our kitchen, which makes us really cranky.
* Anything with "World's Best Mom" on it. We already know we're the best. Actions speak louder than words. Do a load of laundry, fold it, and put it away if you really want to yank on our heartstrings.
* Another gift set of soap or lotion. Think of the last time your mom took a bubble bath. Case closed.
* Made up coupons. Like the ones that say "1 free car wash" or "1 breakfast in bed." We can drive through a car wash if we need to. Breakfast in bed? So we can clean up the dishes after you make a mess?
* Cleaning supplies. Even the fancy "green" stuff. All that makes us think about is housework, which we despise.
* An apron. For what exactly? So we can make you dinner?
* A memory charm bracelet. We'll wear it once, and you'll never see it again. Remember?
* A planter. Really?
* Any type of kitchen appliance, unless we specifically ask for it, just don't.
* A scale. Unless you want to die.

Dempsey: Ground troops possible
The nation's top military officer said Tuesday he would advise President Barack Obama to use U.S. ground troops against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant if the current strategy is unsuccessful.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel appeared on Capitol Hill to defend the strategy laid out last week, which calls for airstrikes and assisting Iraqi troops and Syrian rebels on the ground.
Story Continued Below
While Dempsey said he backs the president's approach, he could recommend deploying U.S. combat troops or having U.S. military advisers accompany Iraqis as they attack ISIL targets.
( Also on POLITICO: The challenges facing Obama's coalition)
"My view at this point is that this coalition is the appropriate way forward," Dempsey told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "I believe that will prove true. If it fails to be true and there are threats to the U.S., then of course, I would go back to the president and make the recommendation that may include the use of U.S. military ground forces."
Even though Obama has so far ruled out deploying ground troops, Dempsey said the president had instructed him to "come back to him on a case-by-case basis."
After the hearing, the committee's chairman, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) downplayed Dempsey's comments, telling reporters the general was not suggesting ground troops were necessary.
"Every military leader is going to say if there's a change in circumstances, he's going to be open to a different recommendation," Levin said. "That doesn't mean he's suggesting they may be needed."
( Also on POLITICO: John Boehner on ISIL: 'We've got to do more')
Later, Tuesday evening, the Pentagon issued a statement on Dempsey's testimony, saying "his comments speak for themselves." But his spokesman, Col. Ed Thomas, emphasized the general "doesn't believe there is a military requirement for our advisers to accompany Iraqi forces into combat."
Thomas went on: "As he said in testimony, 'If we reach the point where I believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi troops on attacks against specific ISIL targets, I will recommend that to the president.' An example the chairman gave was Joint Terminal Air Controllers calling in airstrikes for Iraqi forces.
"The context of this discussion was focused on how our forces advise the Iraqis and was not a discussion of employing U.S. ground combat units in Iraq."
For his part, Hagel emphasized at Tuesday's hearing the United States is at war with the Islamic State, warning Congress the fight will "not be an easy or a brief effort."
( Also on POLITICO: Durbin pans House GOP's Syria plan)
The current strategy, Dempsey said, "won't look like a shock-and-awe campaign" but will be persistent and sustained.
With Congress poised to vote this week on legislation allowing the administration to arm and equip moderate Syrian rebel groups, Hagel and Dempsey faced pointed questions from senators about the U.S. strategy in Iraq and Syria as well as its plans to arm the rebels.
Hagel said the campaign against the Islamic State extremists is necessary to prevent ISIL from eventually becoming a direct threat to the U.S.
"Although the intelligence community has not yet detected specific plotting against the U.S. homeland, ISIL has global aspirations," Hagel added. "If left unchecked, ISIL will directly threaten our homeland and our allies."
( Also on POLITICO: Chuck Hagel on ISIL: Will not be 'easy')
Levin said he believes the president already has the authority to conduct the limited military campaign outlined last week, but broader congressional support would "make it easier for the president to build an international coalition, including the visible support of Arab countries."
The participation of Arab states in the campaign against ISIL, he said, is critical to the international coalition.
"If Western countries act in Iraq and Syria without visible participation and leadership of Arab nations, it will play into the propaganda pitch of the violent extremists that we are interested in dominating in Iraq and Syria," Levin said in his opening statement.
But the committee's top Republican, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, said Obama's strategy fell short by failing to acknowledge the threat ISIL poses to U.S. national security.

On Oct 29th, I hosted a Pink Party in my house to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Research. The biggest success of the night was actually a Cake! I made a rosewater sponge with a royal icing and pomegranate topping. Friends and family have been on to me constantly to put up the recipe so here it is!
Cooking takes approx. 20 mins
- 3 eggs, separated
- 90 ml water
- 225 g caster sugar
- 140 g cream flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp of rosewater
- liquid food colouring
- packet of royal icing sugar
- 1 tsp of water
- 1 pomegranate
2x sandwich tins
Step by step
Heat oven to 180 (160 if fan)
Beat the egg yolks and sugar for two minutes, then add the water and beat for approx. 10mins or until the mixture is firm and creamy. Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in gently with a metal spoon or spatula. Make a figure of 8 when you stir. If you over mix it you will get a flat dry sponge.
In a separate bowl – which must be spotlessly clean – beat the egg whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold it into the cake mixture gently, again using a metal spoon or spatula. Add the rosewater now while you fold. Now this is where I add a little food colouring. On the night of the party I made a mistake, by rights you should only add liquid colouring with a toothpick a little at a time but I spilled mine into the bowl by mistake so it must have been half a tsp that went in. I don't know if it affected the taste. I'll find out next time!
Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake for 20mins or until the sponges are just set in the centre. Remove from their tins and leave to cool on a wire rack. The sponges will be quite puffy and sticky, so handle with care!
Now make up your icing, I cheat and use a packet of royal icing sugar I buy from tescos, just pop it in a clean bowl add 4 tbsp of water and mix with your hand whisk. It should be fluffy and thick for spreading.
Once they are cool you can add your icing, I always put jam over my sponge before I ice them. Habit more then anything. So spread jam over one of your sponge layers then top with fresh fruit ( raspberries, cherries, strawberries go well with the rosewater)
Spread some icing on your other layer of sponge and sandwich them together, now ice all over your cake, don't worry about design. Taste is more important to me. Once its well covered, sprinkle on some pomegranate seeds for extra yummy crunch.
All thats left to do is devour, I may rename this cake "The Silencer" as my Cousin Yvonne was so busy eating she let her husband Alan talk for the first time in years… Please shut him back up now xxx

It's been a tough few months for Strictly professional dancer Neil Jones.
The 35-year-old pro first faced a tricky blow, after being handed the news that he wouldnt be having a celebrity partner on Strictly this year.
And then, came the controversy of his wife Katya Jones being snapped kissing her partner on the show, Seann Walsh, weeks into the competition.
But it seems Neil is looking forward to putting all of that behind him, after sharing a candid post about moving forward.
In the Instagram snap, he gave the first hint of how he reacted to his wifes scandal recently, as he reflected on "s***" being thrown his way, and choosing to "move forward" in his life.
Alongside a photo of himself, he wrote, "Life can throw a lot of s*** your way and Im not afraid to look back I just choose to move forward.
"Do you have a decision to make???? Dont be afraid to make it and move forward in life."
Fans flocked to the photo to share their support for Neil, and praise him for his positive outlook on life.
One said, Good for you!!!! And it takes more courage to move past difficulty than give up #positive vibes.
While another wrote, Love your positivity and really loved you on Strictly it takes two such a star .
And a third said, Good advice Mr Jones wishing you peace and joy going forwards .
The dancing pro appears to be committed to have a good time recently too, after he left viewers in fits of giggles over a recent appearance on It Takes Two.
Neil performed a hilarious comedy skit on the show, as his alter-ego Neil de Jaunse. He led a humorous Waltz tutorial sporting a curly wig and huge glasses, paired with a being turtleneck and tight checked trousers.
Fans were in hysterics over the unusual slot – which gave Neil a rare spotlight on the show.
The post Strictlys Neil Jones shares cryptic post hinting at reaction to wife Katyas kiss with Seann Walsh appeared first on Woman Magazine.

The Historiography of Linguistics, Post 2: The History of Sociolinguistics, Another Perspective
August 28, 2015 Leave a comment
This chapter, taken from John E. Joseph's (2002) book From Whitney to Chomsky, presents a different view on the historical development of the field of sociolinguistics in America than sources such as Roger Shuy (see Post 1 in this area). In doing so, Joseph attempts to demonstrate how class-focused analyses of language variation predate the work of Labov and even McDavid among US scholars. In particular, he argues the work of George Putnam, Edna O'Hern, and Paul Furfey is overlooked, and these works need to be reevaluated in discussions of the history of sociolinguistic thought and study in the US.

As I'm squeezing my facial cleanser into my hand I find my mind begins to wonder. You see, my brain never seems to shut off and I end up thinking up blogs just after I've had a few minutes out doing something a simple as washing my face. In the early days of married life I found it difficult to develop friendships with the partners of my husband's friend's. On the outside I maybe appeared a bit of an Ice Queen, but I didn't mean to be.
You see for a long time I'd been subjected to the horrid tales of people in the forces cheating on their partners. It was rife and it almost made me glad I didn't live on a military base. Most could not begin to imagine the love triangles that operated. That aside, not living on a base meant I felt a little isolated and I didn't feel like a proper Army wife. My first quarters were in a residential housing scheme because the former married quarters had been sold to a housing developer when the base no longer housed a regiment, so they only needed a handful of houses. I'd only agreed to move to keep my husband happy. I met a forces family living there the year earlier and thought it might be a chance to be involved in the next best thing; a smaller community where I could be friends with fellow wives. By the time we moved in, that family had vanished. The word on the street was that the wife had done a runner with the children after an affair was uncovered. That was my first experience of "army life" and the way some conducted themselves. I think with the fear of infidelity, some chose to keep themselves to themselves. When I moved into the house there wasn't many of us. The single guys in the recruiting team occupied one house and it was a total mess. If you looked through the windows into their living-room, it was sparse with the occasional enormous hole in the wall and the grass was never cut. They lived life as you would on an actual base, picking up trash during the week and then out with their "chick" at the weekend. Some of the married guys thought they could do they same, and it wasn't uncommon to take your wedding ring off and put it in your pocket on a night out. Postings changed all the time and there was a high turnaround of new guys in the recruiting team, usually unmarried guys. Most were local and had a girlfriend in the same town. Not being on a base you would generally only mix with the partners of your husband's close friends, rather than choosing your own. I remember being on the verge of making my first friendship with one girl when I found out that her boyfriend was being unfaithful. I felt so sad for her. I froze when I was told whom the other woman was; I felt sick. It made me feel like I couldn't be friend's, what a great way to start, keeping her boyfriends affair secret to save face for your husband; I knew I couldn't. What made it so much worse was that this guy was taking said woman to his girlfriends flat, not his flat, her flat and sleeping with this other lassy while she was at work!! What is it with these guys, I just don't understand what makes them gamble everything they've got for sex with some slapper. Some men are not the sharpest tools in the box when it's being offered on a plate. They probably don't think that far ahead. They are probably so self-absorbed thinking their wife or girlfriend has forgotten about them, grow the fuck up!! Some just have no idea how tiring it is running a house and looking after children. I felt safe in the knowledge that I could trust my husband, this bad stuff happened to other people.
As I said earlier, making friends was very difficult for me, especially with the baggage that usually came with military spouses. Getting emotionally involved with wives made me feel uncomfortable, not wanting to carry the burden of knowing their husband was up to no good. I needed to try and put my past experiences behind me and make a real effort as a good friend of my husband had met a serious girlfriend. We had met a few of his girlfriends but he said this one was different. The first time we met up we went out for a meal and had such a good time, I thought she was really nice; we seemed to get on. We didn't have much in common at the time, so I guessed we probably wouldn't be bosom buddies. Unlike me she already had children, she didn't live in the same town and she smoked; smokers made me feel awkward. I just found most were unsympathetic to non-smokers. However I wasn't your average non-smoker, I was someone with a serious lung condition who's breathing was affected by the slightest sniff of cigarette smoke. I tried to be polite about it. Maybe it's wrong to expect that people will make allowances for you. Her boyfriend worked away from home so I thought I maybe just had to grin and bear it, for the amount of times we would actually see them. The two friends always went out drinking together when he was at home and there were times I resented it because it would happen even if we couldn't really afford it. Some people are happy to live life on the edge and maybe even take out payday loans when they are a bit short, but I liked to live within my means. Which on the surface can look like you're being all boring and sensible. I remember this particular night where I dropped my husband off for his latest knees up and I was asked if I wanted to stay and have a drink. They were already a few glasses into their bottle of wine, but I had the car outside, so I couldn't really. This was our first social gathering without our partners there. We chatted about various things and it seems when you're married but don't yet have children, everyone wants to know when that is going to happen. This was a bit of a raw subject for me with the ongoing fertility issues but I felt comfortable talking to them, I felt like I was part of the crowd having known my husband and his friend for a number of years. I ended up sharing with them some very personal information, which I foolishly thought wasn't going to be repeated, but it was and the shit hit the fan. From then on I subconsciously became a recluse as a way of protecting myself where they were concerned. I didn't want to socialise with them because I knew I'd always have to be on my guard. It didn't go unnoticed, but it's not like I wanted it to be like that. I was suffering emotionally and that betrayal of trust deeply affected me. Invisible wounds are the hardest to heal. Everyone deals with things their own way and in their own time. I guess I appeared all ice queen again. There were constant pleas for me to kiss and make up, so to speak. I was always getting told that the guy's girlfriend thought I didn't like her. I heard it over and over and over. I did like her but I felt I couldn't get close to her and tell her anything because it would come back a hit me in the face. It also didn't help matters that the friends were a pair of gossipping fishwives when they were drunk and unbeknown to her, I was getting a full account of what she actually thought about me, after every night out; which didn't really help build bridges. He should have really kept that to himself. Was it any wonder I had a sour face in their company.
It's funny the secrets husbands and wives keep, how they confide in each other and know potentially damaging information. Yes, I know a few marriage breaker secrets of my own. You find you know the in's and out's of all their friends relationships and I wonder how much of my life was out there for general discussion. AND GIRLS -No matter what bullshit these guys tell to get into your knickers. That's all it is, Bullshit. Well done for being so stupid and guess what, they don't love you, that was also a lie. Now who looks like a fool? These women have no conscience and adopt the attitude that they are single so the infidelity problem is not theirs, but that's untrue, that's just what they tell themselves when they realise they've been had!! One thing I can tell you though, is that I wish both women and men would show more respect for their partners or people in relationships. Maybe the answer is to get to know a person properly before you open up your soul to them. I've said in previous blogs that I trust too easily and that's something I need to work on in the future. Trust, it take years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair and once broken it's never the same again.
