Product Information
The KEP Chromo M (Mica) riding hat comes with or without swarovski crystals and is available in choice of 3 colours. CROMO-M (Mica) is an anti scratch shell that compared to the other KEP Mica helmet finishes gives slight sparkle under artificial light and in the sun as the light reflects.
The quality, safety and comfort remains exactly the same as the rest of the KEP hat range:
The non-slip design means that a KEP Helmet can be worn less tightly, avoiding pressure marks or headaches usually associated with other helmets. Furthermore an anatomic cushion, attached to the base of the helmet skull, perfectly fits the nape of the riders neck ensuring optimum comfort and increased security.
A unique design allows air to enter through the large front vent, ventilation channels under the peak and through the adjoining panels which then pass the air through the well designed ventilation channels within the KEP helmet, keeping your head comfortable and dry.
The unique ergonomic design of the KEP helmet allows it to sit more securely at the back of a riders skull so it doesn't slip or move around while riding..
Size : Medium Shell (fits 51-58) or Large Shell (fits 59-62).
Replacement antibacterial liners easily change the size of any helmet by simply clicking them in or out and are conveniently machine washable. Liners can be purchased seperately if you are maybe unsure of your sizing.
Style and personalisation
Each KEP Cromo Polish with Matt Panels Helmet is made in Italy using high quality materials and finishes which give the KEP helmets such a luxurious feel and look. Your KEP riding hat can be made extra special by having name plates, a personal monogram or name engraved on a metallic tag giving your helmet a distinctive personal touch.

everybody has already read about the the ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes (250 BCE). A basic algorithm could be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes
but why in the optimizing algorithm, the variable i should not exceed square root of n ?
- If n is a composite integer (not a prime one), then it has a prime divisor p not exceeding square root of n. Indeed, as above, n = ab, where 2 < a ≤ b and a is the smallest divisor of n. a is prime number because if it was a composite, it will mean that a number dividing a, will divide as well n which is in contradiction with a is the smallest divisor, Then n ≥ a * a and a is prime
- Now if you want to make a basic test if a number K is prime , you have to try to divide by all the prime number below the square root of K.

Astrophile by MissKiwa
Nitori leads a pretty mundane life. He's not exactly popular in school, mostly due to his love for astronomy, but he has great friends in Nagisa and Momo, so things aren't all that bad... However, he does harbor a small crush on one of the popular guys in school, Rin Matsuoka. Even though Nitori tries to fade into the background, someone has his (maroon) eyes on him.
I'm really enjoying this story so far. Nitori, as always, is the cutest! The story premise is not particularly new (popular guy falls for the adorable nerd), but it's sweet and has twists and turns to keep readers interested.

Capital Punishment - a Thought or Two
I am an advocate of life-sentences, without parole. Since there are too many mistakes made in capital cases, and since many capital cases deal with people who can't afford top-notch attorneys, and since it's been demonstrated that prosecutor offices tend to "close" a case too quickly to get a conviction, I opt for prison, rather than the death penalty. Though I remain convinced that a "state" has the right to take a criminal's life - that law and Scripture allow for it. But as Paul noted, just because something is permissible doesn't mean we should do it. Wisdom, as least mine, indicates imprisonment as a safer means of punishment that accomplishes the same as capital punishment (remove the offender from society) without the chance of a mistake. I also believe that capital punishment stains the character of a nation, and all those who participate in it - police, judges and juries, defenders and prosecutors, and the people who finally have to pull the levers.

Applauding for Executions
When Gov. Perry of Texas was questioned about the 234 executions in his state at the September 7 GOP debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, the audience broke out into loud applause.
I am stunned by this.
As a Christian, I follow an executed man.
As I read the story, God choose the worst way to die, the lowest of all means of public shame and abandonment, because Jesus came to all who are abandoned, to be with all who are shamed, with and for all who are lost. Only there on the cross could God's love for all the world be fully demonstrated. In the lowest of all places where a human being might be found, God is there.
I imagine Pilate reporting to Caesar about the number of executions carried out in Galilee under his watch, and I can imagine the Roman Senate breaking out into applause.
I can understand why some would applaud the death of 234 people; yes, there are some who love the smell of blood. But anyone who takes Jesus and his cross seriously, I can't imagine them joining in that applause.
We must remember what justice means in the Bible - putting things back together again in the right way - restoring the lost - helping the fallen - giving life, offering the second chance and forgiving many times.
Capital punishment is never justice - because it restores nothing. It might be legal, and I suppose one can make a legal case for it, but capital punishment is vengeance in its final form - there is no going back, life cannot be restored for either the victim or the perpetrator, and vengeance only stains the soul all the more - the soul of those who want it, who make the decisions, who carry out the executions, and the soul of a nation that uses it.
Life imprisonment is the only acceptable alternative of punishment for a capital offense.
I have long stood against capital punishment - I can't imagine Jesus ever approving of it, who himself was the innocent victim of capital punishment. In spite of all our safeguards, too many innocent people die at the hand of the state.
As a Christian, I cannot support it, and even more, I must do what I can to rid the land of this foul practice.
And, please, don't quote the Bible at me on this one.
I know all the relevant verses, and all the related history.
If you want to live in an eye-for-an-eye, a tooth-for-a-tooth, kind of world, we'll all end up toothless and blind, and what good will that do?
Kindness is always in season!

9/11 Commemoration - for Sunday at Calvary Presbyterian Church
The following statement will be read during a portion of the morning liturgy devoted to the memory of 9/11 ... at Calvary Presbyterian Church, Hawthorne, CA.
We are Christians, above all else.
Our greatest loyalty is to the kingdom of God.
Our highest hopes are anchored in Christ.
Our daily life is built upon the character of God - God at work in all things, in all things for good … because God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.
September, 2001 … the church I served at the time, St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Livonia, MI, was geared up to celebrate it's 50th anniversary on Sunday, September 16 - people, from far and wide, had planned to attend the festivities and give thanks to God Almighty.
And then, Tuesday, September 11, a day of national sorrow.
Several former pastors and others were unable to attend because of airline shutdowns. What had been planned as a festival became, as well, a time of mourning and soul-searching. In some parts of the country, churches, synagogues and mosques were filled to overflowing, and for some weeks, and even months, thereafter, people sought hope and solace in God's love.
Ten years later, our country has been shaken by the mortgage meltdown, massive banking failure, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, political gridlock, high unemployment, world-wide financial distress, the Bernie Madoff scandal, the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, and perplexing questions about our future.
History offers some guidance.
From the get-go, when Cain killed his brother Able, human beings have excelled in the ways of killing. Of all God's creatures, we are tragically skilled in violence. From Japan's pillaging of Nanking, Hitler's Holocaust and the Allied bombing of Dresden - to tens of thousands of starving children around the world amidst the brutal wars of genocide we've witnessed in the last 25 years, it is not a pretty picture. We who claim the name of Christ must spend a lot of time on our knees, praying for humanity and praying for the nations, pledging ourselves to be "the children of God," those who are peacemakers.
As Christians in America, it's vital that we remember September 11, but do so with grace and perspective, choosing to live out of our hope and our dreams for a better world.
Ten years after the World Trade Center buildings collapsed into the streets of Manhattan and nearly 3000 people lost their lives in the blink of an eye, we must do several things today:
- Honor the memory of that tragic day with prayers and hope.
- Pray for the families who lost loved ones.
- Pray for the ticket agents, air traffic controllers and air force pilots - the burdens of memory are great!
- Celebrate the power of human resilience - while the survivors all carry painful memories of that day, so many of them have worked their way through the tragedy to find new life. Their stories of victory and success are a testimony to human courage and an inspiration to us all to never, ever, give up!
- Recognize the dedication of the first responders - public servants devoted to the public good, who put themselves into harm's way, because this is their calling, this is their duty, this is their life.
- Pray for our nation.
- Pray for all the nations of the world, because God's love is for all the world, all the nations, and all the peoples.
- Pray for peace, and devote ourselves to the ideas and behaviors that contribute to peace on all levels of life - family, work, neighborhood, church and school.
- Remember that we're a strong nation with deep resources, and we needn't live in fear. Yes, bad things might happen; no one person, and no nation, is immune to such things. Better to live in courage and trust. Better to know that our lot on earth is far better than many, and that, truly, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
- Practice forgiveness … and if it has to be raw forgiveness, do it. Forgiveness is always the healing of the soul.
- Practice what Jesus meant when he said, "Love your enemy" - this is not a sentimental journey, but a decision to do what's right - to seek reconciliation where possible; to avoid violence and vengeance; to admit wrongs and confess sins; to seek the high road to life.
- Promise to live for Christ all the more - growing up into the knowledge of God's purpose and love revealed in Christ - the reconciliation of all the world.
- Link arms with women and men of faith all around the world - Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus - anyone who does kindness, loves justice, and walks humbly with their God.
- And with the love of Christ secure in our hearts, love our nation and guide it to the better future.
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address ends with these stirring and noble words:
… that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Dear friends, dear Christian friends, walk in the footsteps of the Master - Go forth into the world in peace; Be of good courage; Hold fast to that which is good. Render to no one evil for evil. Strengthen the faint hearted. Support the weak. Help the afflicted. Honor everyone. Love and serve the Lord.
And to God be the glory. Amen and Amen!

Ultimately, you want to orient the antenna so that you have maximum received signal strength (and/or audio). I suggested in an earlier email that horizontal polarization wouldn't work very well for the sats (it doesn't for me). However, a number of "experts" jumped on me an said that was incorrect.

|Lasell College
|Saint Joseph's College
STANDISH, Maine – #2 Saint Joseph's College (15-5) scored three second-half goals to defeat #1 Lasell College (16-4), 3-0, in the 2017 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Field Hockey Championship at Lasell's Grellier Field on Saturday afternoon.
With the triumph, the Monks claim their second GNAC title in as many seasons and earn an automatic berth into the NCAA DIII National Championship Tournament, which begins Wednesday. The complete NCAA bracket will be announced on Monday.
Following a scoreless first half, the Monks got on the board five minutes into the second stanza when sophomore Libby Pomerleau (Limerick, Maine) scored her first of two goals on the afternoon. After eluding a defender, Pomerleau provided her team with a 1-0 edge with a shot to the top right corner.
The score remained intact until the 63rd minute, when junior Kara Kelly (York, Maine) netted her fourth goal of the season with freshman Alexandra Belaire (Greene, Maine) earning credit for the assist.
Applying plenty of pressure late, the Monks tacked on an insurance goal in the 68th minute when Pomerleau potted her second tally, this time off a Maddy Beaulieu (West Gardiner, Maine) feed, with a shot to the bottom left corner.
SJC junior netminder Megan Baker (Gorham, Maine) tallied two saves to pick up her eighth shutout of the season. Lasell senior goalie Denise Landry (New Milford, Conn.) turned away a pair of shots in a losing effort.
Saint Joseph's held the lead in shots (18-10), shots on goal (5-2), and penalty corners (10-6) in the victory.
· Pomerleau was selected as the GNAC Tournament Most Valuable Player while seniors Hayley Winslow (Falmouth, Maine) and Elyse Caiazzo (Scarborough, Maine/Cheverus) and juniors Megan Baker and Arianna Kahler (Lisbon Falls, Maine) earned GNAC All-Tournament honors
· With the triumph, Saint Joseph's improves to 17-4 in the history of the series with Lasell College
· Today's loss was the Lasers' first home setback of the season as Lasell was 10-0 on their home turf going into the title bout
· Prior to this afternoon, Lasell had allowed three goals in a game just once all season – in a 3-1 loss to #12 MIT on September 14th

We had a wonderfully comforting soup tonight - it actually tasted a lot like a Sunday roast beef, but in soup form. I made homemade bread bowls (soooooo easy) and it was fantastic.
Beefy Bello Soup
adapted from Southern Living Slow-Cooker Cookbook
2 lbs beef stew meat
2 lbs beef stew meat
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 C red wine*
32 oz carton of beef broth (use a good quality)
1 (10 oz) package sliced portobello mushrooms
1 Tbsp dried thyme (or 2 Tbsp if using fresh)
1 tsp salt (may need less depending on how salty the broth is)
1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese, shredded, optional
Bread Bowl, optional (I used the Italian recipe)
-Put meat and flour into a large zip-top bag, and shake to coat.
-Heat 1 Tbsp oil in large skillet over med-high heat, and add in half of the meat. Brown meat on all sides (about 4-6 minutes). When browned, remove to slow cooker. Heat another Tbsp of oil, and repeat with the other half of the meat.
-Heat remaining Tbsp oil and add in onions, celery, and garlic. Cook until almost tender, taking care not to burn garlic. When done, add onions, celery, and garlic to the meat in the slow cooker.
-Deglaze the pan with the wine and let it cook down a bit. Add to slow cooker.*
-Add the beef broth, mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Cook on low for approximately 8 hours (until beef is tender).
-Serve in bread bowls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
*I did not actually do this step, so I can't promise how well it will work out. This soup was good, but I felt it needed another layer for a little more depth, and I thought the wine might add that. Regardless, I didn't deglaze (wasn't in the instructions and I was in a hurry), and I think it would be been good to keep all that good flavor from the beef and veggies. If you didn't want to use wine, you could use a little of the beef broth to do this.
I think you can also play around with the seasoning. I'm not sure what I'll add next time - maybe more thyme, maybe some rosemary - but I think there's lots of room to change this up, which I enjoy.

Our brief was to produce a custom hire stand to best display NPP Groups range of state of the art solar panels at the 2013 All Energy Expo, Australia's biggest and most anticipated event in the clean energy sector's annual calendar.
We needed to create a large open plan environment that was inviting and inline with the brand guidelines but also have an office area. All the while showcasing the Company's commitment to clean and renewable energy sources.
Our challenge was to bring all of those elements together without creating a stale, overly corporate environment and fitting them into a 54 sq/m space. We also had to come up with a moder, clean way of incorporating the solar panels into the stand design.
DisplayWise created a superb angular design incorporating both conventional and natural finishes. Our design included a living plant walls and centre tower feature, complete with lighting rigged signage above.
The stand we created at the show hit the mark in every way and the feedback from attendees and other exhibitors alike was hugely positive. The stand was so popular that we have had many requests to create a similar design for other clients across a broad range of industries or indeed hire the exact stand.
As NPP were only attending the one exhibition, a custom hire solution allowed them to get the benefits of a custom designed and created stand, for "hire", which meant a smaller initial outlay and no ongoing storage costs!
Our brief was to design a roadshow display to showcase the new Samsung Galaxy Note phone. The look and feel of the display needed to the be on brand, but also have a "studio" feel to be inline with the current advertising campaign that was running. We needed 6 touch points, and also structures to facilitate the streaming of phone content simultaneously to Samsung TV screens. Storage and security also had to be considered, as well as all the other important requirements that need to be considered when designing a roadshow display, such as height restrictions and transporting efficiencies etc
We came up with a design concept that the client loved, and then custom produced 4 larger 7m x 7m sets, and 2 smaller 3m x 3m satellite sets at our Sydney production facility.
The campaign was a huge success and Samsung have been able to re use various elements for many other activations.
Imagination is an independent, creative communications agency, and one of our long standing agency clients who we love working with.
In June 2013 they came to us with a brief to build an exhibition stand that would travel to various trade show events, in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. The stand needed to be modular to suit different spaces within each trade show, as well as be extremely high quality.
Imagination came up with the stand design, and we executed their idea, into a quality, modular, long lasting exhibition display for their client UGL. The main finish on the display was a high impact, gloss material that has the benefit of a high gloss finish, but with a lot more durability than a similar premium finish like 2pac polyurethane spraying.
The stand so far has travelled to four of the twelve shows, and each event has been a great success. Even as our Install Team is installing the stand, we have comments from other clients and competitors about how effective the stand looks.
MDI is a Brisbane based client with big ideas and a global reach. They source, design and distribute a wide variety of products including gifts, toys and homewares throughout Australia.
The brief and design challenge for DisplayWise was to design a modular exhibition stand that would house over 1700 products and a stand that could vary in size, from the largest being 18m x 6m, down to a 14m x 5m.
Other challenges included how to light up the products but also keep a very clean and organised stand. Four specialty "Light" pods where also designed where LED strip lighting was run down both sides to provide extra light on certain products. LED battery operated push lights were also sourced for under shelf lighting.
DisplayWise then developed a prototype display unit that had adjustable shelving, LED strip lighting and storage at the base. After a few minor adjustments DisplayWise then built 40 display units, a custom made front counter, a large back wall and storage room.
The stand has now been installed four times nationwide, and is ready for the next showing at the Gift Fair in Brisbane in July.
"We knew right from the start that finding a partner that could see our vision of what the perfect custom built stand would be for our products would be challenging. We're 30 year old exhibitor veterans of tradeshows. We're particular. We're different. We're cost conscious. From the tender process through to final production, DisplayWise project managed all elements of the process with fantastic communication, thorough research, practical suggestions for cost minimisation and a genuine interest in meeting our needs."
Tanya Scrivner - General Manager, MDI Australia
Our brief was to design a display which complimented the concurrent TV advertising campaign following the theme of the KIA Man Cave. The display had to be portable enough to move to major shopping centre locations along the eastern seaboard over a campaign period of 2 months while looking premium in finish and quality throughout.
With the feel of a Man Cave the design was based around a male inspired lounge room, which included a plush couch, a 42" LCD TV with Nintendo Wii and a Poker style coffee table. In addition to the lounge space a custom built bar was constructed to house the practical application of the display. The bar area was decorated with items such as sporting memorabilia, collected number plates, a dart board and even a snooker clock all of which was finished off with a 32" LCD TV which ran the TV Ad campaign on loop in amongst episodes of Top Gear.
At the completion of the campaign in October of 2010 it was recorded that general interest in the product was very positive and that the client (KIA) was very pleased with the effect that the display had on the overall campaign. The campaign was well supported by staff at oOh Media who controlled the logistics of moving the vehicles on and off the display area as well as managing the promotional material and casual staff who worked on the stand.

Hey!! What's the story?
The Rock Bar, what a dive, peeling paint on the door and Fat Dave still hasn't fixed that smashed window. The place is dark and seedy but I love it, it's where I first met the missus, God bless her.
Nothing much ever changes in The Rock Bar, same crappy fittings, same beer, same music. Although one thing is new, a Dave Grohl poster is up on the wall, alongside the Floyd's Dave Gilmour. Quite an honor for the American upstart, if only he knew he'd finally made it.
"Alright, Dave? The usual?"
"Yeah. Cheers, Dave."
"How's the little lady, Dave?"
Fat Dave always asks after Steffanie. He's a bone idle slob but he'd stick his neck out anytime for my wife, she's an angel in his eyes... and mine too of course.
"As scatty as ever," I tell him, which the little darlin' is.
"Best barmaid I ever had," Fat Dave says. "You fixed that motor yet?"
Bit of a sore point there, one damn thing after another. New clutch, new diff' and now a new alternator is needed. My bargain BMW is proving to be anything but.
"Get a recon', Dave," Fat Dave suggests. "Dave Walker could get you one cheap."
"That's a thought, Dave. Does Dave still drink here?"
"Sure, he'll be here in five minutes."
That's the great thing about Fat Dave, he knows the networks, ALL the networks - if you know what I mean. Beer is only a sideline in The Rock Bar, although I doubt if Dave's other trades get entered in the books.
Dave Walker walks in, with Dave Morris no less.
"Hi, Dave. Good to see you again, Dave," says Dave Walker to Fat Dave and me.
"How you doing, Dave?" I ask him. "Been a long time, Dave," I say to Dave Morris.
Dave Morris is a c**t. Back in the day, he wouldn't leave my Steffanie alone, wouldn't take no for an answer. So I clocked him, he won't have forgotten it, but he got the message and we've never mentioned it since.
"Dave here needs an alt' for a 320 Beamer," Fat Dave says to Dave Walker.
"When by?" Dave asks me.
"Well... anytime now would be handy"
"I could pick you one up tomorrow," Dave says.
Dave means he'll go and pinch one off some other poor sap's motor, light fingered sod. I'd sooner not touch it, especially if Dave Morris is involved.
"Suit yourself," Dave says, when I decline his offer.
"Try Wreck Breakers, Dave," suggests Dave Morris. "They'll have one for sure."
"Where's that, Dave?"
"Behind the old brewery on Southside."
Hmm, perhaps Dave isn't such a c**t after all, being all helpful and that.
"Ask for Dave," Dave tells me.
"Right, thanks, Dave."
"Tell him Dave sent you, you'll get a good deal."
"Excellent. Cheers, Dave."
"No problem, Dave."
Well... there you go.
I won't mention it to the wife, she wouldn't trust Dave as far as she could throw him.
Catch you later.
Dave x

Ha ha ha! This reminds me of my Best Man's speech on my wedding day - stand up if you're called 'Dave' and half the room was! He did this whole routine about differentiating Daves! As a lifelong Dave I can only love this tale! Nice one.
That was hilarious! As a kid, I hated my first name - now, I'm thankful.
I love this story. Great job!
I was expecting Trigger from Only Fools to turn up at some point. I was wondering where it was going for a while, then I didn't care because I was laughing. Nice one...

I downloaded sliderdock a while ago and I love it!!! :D (Since I'm a big fan of .hackG.U. …and of course the former .hack games) You did a really great job!!!
Do you think it's possible to add a function that allows you to rotate the icons by using the arrow keys of the keyboard and start the application with <enter> instead of using a mouse? It'd be really comfortable (at least to me).
The other suggestions I have were already posted (sounds and animated gifs like in the game)
Thank you :D


text: Is it really worth every bucks I have been spending for the upgrade and maintenance of my old CP? I really hate throwing stuff that had serve me well. In addition I'm pro recycling, hate adding junks to help save mother earth. I came across a website at Google while looking for an online repair shop...I really hate long lines, packing my CP and taking it to the shop...I find it very helpful for a minimal cost. Columbus-computer-repair.com had been of great help. Any other suggestions?

Obama Gets 27 Nominees Confirmed, Reserves Right To Use Recess Appointments
Depending on your perspective, the President either won a showdown last night or put into reserve a tool he should be using.
The Senate confirmed a huge group of administration nominees on Thursday, following a tense exchange between President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
At a White House meeting with bipartisan congressional leaders on Tuesday, Obama warned that he would make recess appointments if the logjam over nominees wasn't broken before the Senate left for the Presidents' Day break.
"Mitch, this is unprecedented," the president said, gesturing forcefully on the Cabinet Room table, according to aides. "If you don't move any, I'm going to do some [recess] appointments."
The 27 confirmations mean no recess appointments will be needed during this break, top administration officials said. Recess appointments, which a president can make when Congress is not in session, are temporary and generally last to the end of the year.
You can find a list of the nominees confirmed here. You'll see an Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, a few key US Attorneys (DC, New York, California), a couple Assistant Secretaries of Commerce and Treasury, and a handful of others. You will not see on that list Dawn Johnsen, the nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel who Patrick Leahy just suggested should get a recess appointment, and Craig Becker, whose nomination for a member of the NLRB was stalled this week.
However, instead of pushing for all his nominees to be confirmed, including Johnsen and Becker, Obama released a statement reserving the right to make recess appointments in the future, which means that next week's recess will go without appointments, and Johnsen and Becker will remain stuck in limbo.
While this is a good first step, there are still dozens of nominees on hold who deserve a similar vote, and I will be looking for action from the Senate when it returns from recess. If they do not act, I reserve the right to use my recess appointment authority in the future.
Johnsen and Becker have been held up for many, many months, and key constituencies like the civil liberties community and labor would like to see them in their jobs. Clearly this is a major disappointment to these constituencies, both of which have been treated pretty shabbily by this Administration.
You can give the President credit for winning a stare contest with Republicans, but backing off when there are still over 30 nominees hanging out there seems weak to me.

A message from Jim: The following, LISTED IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, is my tally of albums mid-year in 2009 that have all warranted 3.5 stars or more on the Chicago Sun-Times' 4-star ratings scale (making them all very enthusiastic"buy its"on the"Sound Opinions"scale). I will mention that these are in no particular order (sorry, but that's reserved for the year-end list), that this list is not all-inclusive (I will no doubt catch up with quite a few discs released earlier in the year by the time I tally the year-end list) and, also, because this always confuses people, THESE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

Things I Did Yesterday 06/12/08
Home alone! I do hope someone tries to break in (again)! Yesterday I:
- Crawled out of bed at about 8.30am. Got myself ready then wandered down to Angel to do some writing.
- Wandered through Borders and Waterstones, obsessed with the idea that I needed a new fantasy novel to read. Found a few things I liked the look of, but didn't actually buy anything.
- Walked home, buying Alex some flowers on the way!
- Spent some time reading reviews of the novels I'd liked the look of. Productive.
- Wandered up to get the laundry Alex had dropped off. Came home and did the dishes. Jesus...are you still actually reading this?
- Worked through the NaNoWriMo site, emailed those that are keen to take part (except you, 2treesandahorse, because although I feel I should know who you are, I can't for the life of me remember. Sorry!) and then cleared the rest of my Inbox.
- Went through various guides on stripping down Windows XP using nLite and creating USB stick installs. Did both.
- Went to bed. Hells bells! Was that really it?

Just For Lisa
Things I Did Yesterday 05/12/08
Bugger, I actually wrote one of these for Tuesday but never got around to posting it up! Oh well, yesterday I:
- Woke up at 5.30am with a mind toward getting into town good and early to write before work, which I started at 8am. Wound up rolling out of bed at 6.15am after deciding that some extra sleep was more important.
- Worked. JD is away this week, so I did an 8-7 stretch. Lots of good comics this week though, which is always nice. Also, as I don't often do the long Thursdays any more, I saw a lot of customers I haven't seen in a while, which is nice.
- Came home, grabbing a lamb & chicken shish on the way (Alex was out). Dithered about watching something substantial but didn't. The highlight, however, was this week's Screenwipe, which was a special episode of interviews with telly writers. Good and inspiring, as these things should be.
- Went to bed and had some freaky dreams that kept waking me up, but damned if I can remember then. From the state of the pillows though, it would seem as though I had attempted to crawl caterpillar-like up the wall at the top of the bed. Oh when will I be a beautiful butterfly?
Tuesday, December 02, 2008
So another thing I did yesterday was contact a number of people to see if they would be interested in doing a bit of novel writing.
You may or may not have heard of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), but in essence it's an event held each November where people commit to writing a 50,000 word novel in the space of one month. It was started by a writer in San Francisco who wanted to stop procrastinating and get something done. The idea was that by applying a strict deadline to a large project, he would be forced to write with an intensity that precluded the kind of counter-productive thumb-twiddling and self-censorship he usually engaged in. He enlisted a group of friends to help drive him on, made a big deal out of it so that he would feel extra pressure to get it done and cleared the decks for a month to make the time for it. From there it's gone on to become quite a big deal, with groups around the world taking part each November.
This whole thing only came to my attention early last month. I'm at a bit of a funny point with my writing. I'm writing regularly again, which is a good thing, but I feel like I need to take some kind of creative leap. I'm terrified, though, as it has been years since I actually completed anything. My command of language and my ability to tell a story both feel clumsy and amateurish. Which doesn't bode well, given that I want to make a leap to some kind of writing based career once we leave the UK in 3-4 years time. So, despite certain cynical reservations, this NaNoWriMo thing leaped out at me. It sounded like exactly the kind of literary cliff-jumping I needed. A fixed deadline at the end of which, regardless of quality and free from judgement, I will have finished something again.
Yes I was cynical. The whole exercise smacked of the American self-help industry. As a basic concept I approached it sniffily, feeling it was trying to offer me easy answers to something I knew to be difficult. It felt like the writer's equivalent to some kind of ab-tensing fat-buster and the title of the founder's book on the subject - "No Plot? No Problem! A Guide To Writing A Novel In 30 Days" - didn't help matters. But beneath that, as with many self-help guides, lay some good ideas: the importance of deadline-setting in creative work; the need to set aside ego in the creation of a first draft; the joy of completion. These were all things I needed to embrace, but even so I went into the book expecting to last about 50 pages.
I was pleasantly surprised. The tone was conversational and down to earth, and most importantly there was no sense that the author was waving a magic wand to tell you how to write. The fact that writing is hard work was not tiptoed around. Nor was it implied that you would necessarily write anything of worth. The idea was that this was an exercise that could well be useful for you. Even if you progressed nowhere as a writer, the undertaking itself was a worthwhile mental and emotional exertion. The book was quite candid about your chances too: I can't remember exactly off the top of my head, but I think the successful completion rate each NaNoWriMo is (I think) about 17%. Best of all, there was no sense of on-selling. Nothing to suggest that you needed to invest any further money into the venture (in fact, the organisation actually runs as a non-profit venture). It was just a book of tips and encouragement for people who wanted to participate. So that sold it: I was going to do this thing.
November had gone, of course, so I had to either wait a year or just do it myself. Wanting to capitalise on my enthusiasm, I decided that I would do it early next year. January seemed like the logical choice: lousy weather (in this hemisphere, anyway), 31 days in the month (mua ha ha), everyone is broke and there's not a lot going on.
So that's where I am! Andrew's Novel Writing Month (AnNoWriMo) will be happening January 2009, from the 1st (optimistically) to the 31st. 50,000 words, or about 1,600 words per day.
I've emailed a few people to see if anyone else is keen. I know at least three more people who are going to take part and if you haven't heard from me but think you might be keen then please let me know. What doing it as a group will involve I don't know. Probably somewhere online to post our word counts and maybe, for those who are local, a few writing sessions in a pub or cafe. This last thing sounds weird, but the idea is that by meeting up you get a better sense of not being alone in this thing and encourage each other to make the time.
So, will I manage it? I'm not sure to be honest. I have no real idea of what I'm going to do. The freedom of the exercise, the ability to write in any genre I choose while know that no-one else will ever need to read it (read: I may write a trashy fantasy novel), makes me quite indecisive. The rules, such as they are, are quite open too. For example, you are allowed to plot and plan as much as you like in advance. You can do your research, sketch out your characters and plaster your walls with notecards, just so long as you don't write any prose until that first day. On the other hand, it's recommended you don't overdo it, or indeed use ideas you've been developing for some time, simply because the greater your attachment to the idea, the more difficult it will be for you to compromise quality in the short term for the sake of a word count. So I'm not sure whether I should start kicking ideas around now or just start on the first day and see where things take me. And those considerations don't even begin to address how I'm going to manage my time or meet daily word quotas. Well, we'll see.
Anyway, that's what's going on for me. Any thoughts are welcome!
By the way, official NaNoWriMo site here and Wiki here.
Things I Did Yesterday 02/12/08
Criminey! How did such a nice clear day turn so foul? Anyway, yesterday I:
- Worked. Got closer to finalising the Christmas roster, got the holidays up to date and worked on library orders for Islington, Southwark and Hounslow. Tried to get away early (I'm owed a couple of hours) but it just wasn't happening.
- Sat on the internet during Alex's soap night, just catching up. I think I need to clean out my feeds a little, just to make them a little quicker. Do I really need the BBC entertainment news feed?
- Watched this weeks TV Burp, which had me laughing my ass off. Also watched the second episode of the new IT Crowd season, which was a good laugh. Finally, got back into the WWI doco series I've been watching. This covered the war in the Middle East, including Gallipoli. It also had an amazing piece of footage of a young Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who even on a piece of grainy old footage from early this century had an incredibly powerful, magnetic look.
- Actually had a decent night's sleep. Amazing!

Things I Did Yesterday 01/12/08
Hello December! I am Andrew Salmond, and I am here to rock you! But yesterday it was November and I:
- Got up around 8.30 with a cracking headache. Completely self-induced, but boy did I feel sorry for myself. Stil, I was in better shape thanAlex, who wasn't well at all.
- Sat at my desk to catch up on my reading only to have my chair suddenly topple forward, snapped at the base. Bugger.
- Popped out to the shops for juice, rolls and bacon.
- Played a little Xbox then made up some bacon rolls for us.
- Once Alex was up, we went for a walk up Holloway Road to the Waitrose with a roast in mind. I do love shopping at Waitrose. Everything just seems a little bit nicer, not to mention the amazing deli section they have. But we were good and just bought ingredients for the roast.
- Popped up to Argos and got myself a new desk chair. Unlike Waitrose, I take no pleasure whatsoever from shopping there. In fact, there are few things worse on the weekend.
- Came home. I did the washing up then played a little Fallout while Alex dozed on the couch. Broke my combat shotgun. Bugger.
- I headed off to have a bath while Alex started dinner. Then I put my new chair together, which is okay but not as nice as my old one. Life is so hard.
- Roast lamb. Mmmm...
- Having eaten, we decided that around 8pm was certainly late enough to go to bed (is this what getting older means?), where we watched a marathon session of Paul Merton in India. I enjoyed this series, more than the China one I think. You get the sense there was a lot more freedom for him to visit whomever he pleased. I certainly don't think his Chinese governmental escort would have allowed anything like the eunuch beggars/extortionists he went to see in India. Anyway, I hope he does some more. He's no Palin, but he does the Englishman abroad thing very well.
- Thought about reading, but I was too bloody tired.

Don't Kill The Mellinger
Chiefs vs Broncos, Mizzou vs letdown, Kevin Seitzer is not Charley Lau, and the Andrew Wiggins moment you might've missed
You may or may not be into advanced metrics for the NFL, but I thought this was interesting:
ranks the Chiefs as the NFL's best defense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Broncos 22nd. It also ranks the Broncos as the NFL's best offense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Chiefs 22nd.
-Pro Football Focus
ranks the Chiefs as the NFL's best defense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Broncos 16th. It ranks the Broncos as the best offense, by a pretty wide margin, and the Chiefs 24th.
-Football Outsiders
ranks the Chiefs as the NFL's third-best defense, and the Broncos 18th. It ranks the Broncos as the best offense, and the Chiefs 16th.
Look, I think the Broncos are probably better. I would pick them on a neutral field. NFL rules are in the offense's favor. Blah-blah-blah. But it's not like there's a HUGE difference here, at least statistically.Really interested to see what Mizzou does on Saturday
. Last weekend against South Carolina was the kind of loss that can effect teams long-term, but Gary Pinkel and his players were quick and consistent with the message that they can and will bounce back.I wrote this off the South Carolina game
, but Mizzou still has every possibility. They still lead the SEC East, and they surely would've taken that at the beginning of the season.Kevin Seitzer was hired
asthe Blue Jays hitting coach
, which means another round of local exaggeration about his impact.
And, look, I'm not saying he's a bad hitting coach. He's a bright, energetic, passionate guy. Alcides Escobar had a good year with him. Mike Moustakas hit 20 home runs with him. Alex Gordon and Jeff Francoeur consistently credited Seitzer. I wish him all the success in the world.
But I also feel like context is being lost when people talk about him like he's the Michael Jordan of hitting coaches. But he also was the hitting coach of a team that finished 12th in the American League in runs his last year. Eric Hosmer's 2012 season was bad enough to be a fireable offense for any hitting coach.
Twenty-nine teams could've hired Seitzer last offseason, and the Diamondbacks fired him before he even finished a season. When the Royals went through that incompetent May, Seitzer's public begging for the job was beneath him.
Again, I'm not saying he's a bad hitting coach. The Royals finished 11th in runs this year, so firing him certainly wasn't the answer.
But let's hold off on anointing him Charley Lau 2.0.Went to Lawrence for the basketball game on Tuesday
, mostly out of curiosity and because The Smokeshow was out of town. It's so hard to see anything real this time of year from college basketball, but here's what stood out:
- college basketball is going to be so choppy, especially early. I actually like what they're doing with the rules. I think it'll make for a prettier game in the long run, but an uglier one in the short-term, while players and officials adjust.
-the Wiggins moment
people talked about was the ally-oop, but the more impressive moment came when he got the ball on the right wing and needed one dribble and to get into the lane, left hand above the rim, for an easy basket. The whole thing took, maybe, a second. I know it's just Pitt State, but that's the kind of move you don't see much of in college, and the kind of move that's going to make him unguardable at times.
- Joel Embiid is RAW.You can see it in practice, too
, but it seemed amplified in a "game." He's the kind of guy who might end up going pro a year too early because the NBA falls so in love with his raw talent. And he plays so hard.

Malian music masters Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba are set to perform on Friday, March 14th, 2014 at 8:00 pm at the Whitby Pavilion Theatre, YO21 3EN in the UK. Support act is Me & My Friends.
This concert will be the official launch concert for Musicport 2014, the annual world music festival that will takes place October 17th – 19th in 2014. Musicport has just won a national award for Best UK Indoor Festival from Fatea magazine.
Bassekou Kouyate is one the most innovative and exciting Malian musicians to have emerged in recent years. He appeared on line-ups with Africa Express and Afrocubism in 2011 and 2012, and has performed on stage with the likes of Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Damon Albarn and many more.
The Malian musician has established a new role for the ngoni, a distant ancestor of the banjo. By adding strings, developing new techniques of playing and defying tradition by plugging it in and experimenting with sound effects such as the wah-wah pedal, Bassekou has brought the instrument into the musical foreground where it is now a prominent feature of many Malian bands touring today.
Bassekou Kouyate's discography includes Jama Ko, Segu Blue and I Speak Fula.
Support act Me & My Friends incorporates vintage Roots Reggae and Afrobeat, contemporary folk styles and even obscure Caribbean field recordings. The group is Yorkshire-based and formed by Scarborough musician James Grunwell.
"We couldn't have dreamt of a better act to launch our 2014 Festival program than Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba. I saw them 3 years ago in York and was totally blown away by the power of the music and the charm of their performance & to have Me & My Friends doing the support is just the icing on the cake," says Musicport organizer Jim McLaughlin. "We hope people will turn out for what will be one of the best things we've managed to get to Whitby in the 14 years we have been putting on events in the town and will help get our 2014 (award-winning) festival off to the best possible start."
Tickets £16 (£14 concessions). Tel: 01947 603475 to book tickets.

BRONX (WABC) -- One New York City woman got a rare second chance during her arraignment on Friday.
She is charged with stealing money from the donation box in the Bronx.
But instead of being punished for her alleged crime, the priest at the church asked for those charges to be dropped.
Love and mercy are some of core principles of the Christian faith, so for Father Stephen Norton forgiving this woman was not only the right choice it was the only choice.
Father Norton says he wanted her and others to learn a bigger lesson beyond crime and punishment.
According to police, surveillance video captured 30-year-old Christa Polito inside St. Benedict's church last month.
You can see her as she cautiously looks around a prayer area where parishioners light candles for loved ones who have passed away.
Police say Polito used some sort of object to crack open a nearby donation box and stole $300 from the sanctuary.
With the help of surveillance video and tips Polito recently turned herself into police and was charged with petit larceny.
"People are struggling in a lot of different ways, in a lot of different ways, and so we want to be supportive of that helpful of that not hurtful in that process," Father Norton said.
But Father Stephen Norton asked the DA to drop Polito's charges, because forgiveness is the very foundation of the church.
"If we begin to back away from the forgiveness that Christ taught us to the poor, if we're not concerned about God's people in every way, in the church you should always be able to find that love that forgiveness," Father Norton said.
Father Norton says if anyone has thoughts of stealing from the church, he's happy to offer resources to help them so they don't feel crime is the only option.

Mississippi: Little Falls to Minneapolis
Blanchard Dam
Our luck lasted just 1 11/2 days after our skipping to Little Falls. For 1 1/2 days we were more or less happily paddling or walking our boats through rapids. We were definitely not happy when we arrived at Blanchard Dam. The portage there was more than 700 metres long and involved dragging your boat up and down two steep railroad grades. My boat is much heavier than Brian's and we had to take numerous breaks when shlepping it around. After dragging our two boats and all our stuff around for hours we were completely exhausted, but we could not even much enjoy our lunch break because it started raining.
Mucky portage
But even this hard portage seemed easy compared to what awaited us at the next power plant dam in Sartell. A quick inspection showed that the portage was a disaster. Although the put out place was decent, it was a very long portage and the put in place the worst I have ever seen. First we could not even find it as there was no sign. You had to steeply climb down over rocks to put your boat into swirling eddies over huge boulders. I even had problems trying to get down there without a boat and we had no clue how we would get our kayaks down. The power companies are legally obligated to provide portage routes for paddlers, but it is a shame that they can get away by providing these horrible portage trails. Locals told us that years ago the adjacent mill provided motorized shuttles like we had had in Grand Rapids. But the mill had blown up and was never re-built - and therefore no more portages provided.
Break in the cold
Not only was the portage a nightmare, but we could already see plenty of rocks and rapids ahead in the river. Low water had hit us again. On top of all that we knew that only three miles later there would be another portage around rapids and only another three miles further on a portage around a power plant dam. Our spirits sank and the drizzling rain did not help. It did not take long and we decided to skip around these three portages. The only question was how. I suggested a taxi and a quick phone call confirmed that it was a good idea, although we would have to disassemble our boats. We decided to do further planning over a pizza. With the pizza devoured we realized that we faced another problem. The taxi could drop us at the last portage but by the time we had reassembled the boat it would be too dark to start paddling again. And the camping situation did not look good. The pizza place owner took pity on us and even called ahead to verify the camping situation. Unfortunately the put in place was on a university campus and campus security would kick us out for sure. The next road accessible put in place was next to a major highway. And after that the next road accessible put in place was so far away that we would not get there by taxi. So what to do now?
When we had been assembling our boats in Little Falls two days ago Brian had met a very friendly lady offering us help in case of any future problems and we decided to give her a call. We only reached her answering service and left a message not expecting much, but an hour later Brian received a call. The woman herself did not have time, but she had asked a friend an Sartell to help us. And again to our great surprise this friend Twyla went far out of her way for us. She came to get us and all our gear and drove us half an hour down the Mississippi to the next put in place with camping possibilities. We receive so much help from strangers on this trip it is amazing. And again we did not know how to thank Twyla for her incredible help. The put in area and the campsite were very nice and peaceful - just what we needed after such a stressful day. I even managed to reassemble my boat in 1,5 hours without a nervous breakdown just before sunset.
Despite all our good hopes the last two days into Minneapolis remained stressful. Every hour we would encounter rapids and rocks. Although we became quite good in reading the water we still ended up being stuck on rocks several times. Of course when we got out to walk our boats out water would get into our mud boots and we ended the day with wet and cold feet. But the most scary situations were when the current got strong and we actually bounced off the rocks or we could feel them scraping under our legs. It is amazing how much abuse the Feathercraft would take without even showing the slightest scrape on the bottom. Although we got kind of used to the rapids I still had adrenaline pumping every time the current sucked me into a set of rapids and I saw myself running straight into a huge boulder. I would even have nightmares at night about them.
Paddling into Minneapolis
The water remained incredibly low all the way into Minneapolis. Brian hit his last submerged obstacle one hour before we beached in central Minneapolis. Whitewater kayaking is definitely not on my wish list for the future and I am so happy that the low water issues are over now. After Minneapolis the Mississippi is controlled by locks and commercial barge traffic is going up and down the river year round. And where a barge can go, we should have no trouble with our kayaks. On the plus side we survived all those rapids without capsizing once. The bottom of Brian's Folbot shows a lot of abrasion, but no holes and my Feathercraft still looks almost new. And by our last portage at Coon Rapids Dam we had the whole unpacking, portaging and repacking procedure so down pat that we mastered the whole process in less than an hour. But like low water portages are hopefully a thing of the past now.
We were lucky because we could stay with our CS hosts in Minneapolis again. They even picked us up from the public boat ramp where we had disassembled our boats and dried all our stuff. But again our days in Minneapolis were spent organising the next stretch of our trip, replacing gear and going shoppping - no time for sightseeing. It was very nice to be at the same place again where we already knew our way around - and the way to Aldi's...

The Evil Apple Empire!
Filed Under (Apple) by admin on 04-03-2011
Tagged Under : app store, Apple, apple tv, cell phone, evil empire, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iTunes, music industry, smart phone
More and more people are flocking to the wares that Apple is offering and it is not without reason, they totally rock. Whether you love your iPod touch, an iPhone, a Macbook Pro or an iPad, I'm pretty sure you love it and can't imagine life without it. That's great but that kind of fanfare doesn't come without its drawbacks. Whether or not you know it or admit it Apple is slowly but surely taking over the world. That may sound like a sinister rant but its true. You don't have to look any further than the music industry to get a true understanding of how evil the Apple empire is becoming.
The music industry used to be their own evil empire. Plundering artists of their work and royalties in the name of business and prosperity. Tower Records, Sam Goody, Suncoast and too many mom and pop record stores to name actual made an honest living by providing the public a way to purchase music and the like. No more. People buy music from Apple now. iTunes RULES! Or does it? Well it does. Apple sells more than 25% of all music in the US. That is enormous. And while the average Joe says, who cares? I'm going to tell you who, the artists. Unless you are Lady Gaga or Eminem the chances you are making any really money is slim. Even with Apple raising their prices from .99 to 1.29 to help subsidize the artists Apple just simply isn't worried about them.
That's the music industry. But what about other industries? Movies? TV Shows? Software development? Can anyone conceive how much money Apple is pulling out of the Software development coffers? Software such as games and utilities would cost anywhere from $40 to $70. People used to run down to the store and pick them up and install them. Now depending on your device you either use the App Store for iOS devices or the Mac App Store. And the prices of applications have come way down. Aside from more than half of the apps being free the ones that aren't range anywhere from 1.99 to 9.99. This represents massive shrinkage in profits and sales for the average developer. There is a trade off for developers. Never has it been easier to get your app distributed but are the costs too much. In the past when you developed a software product it took a lot of people to get it to market. Developers to code the application and artist to refine the gui, tech support staff to support the product, a sales staff to get the market out to the public in the stores and what not, a marketing staff to make ads that would be in trade magazines and to create a website. Nowadays, there is no infrastructure needed. A single developer writes and designs the application and sells it through the App store. That same developer probably also develops his or her own website to support the product. No wonder why so many people are out of jobs. There aren't any anymore!
When is this model going to explode? Is everyone just going to become a develop and further flood the market with applications we already have but make them even cheaper?
And what's next? I already stay home and watch NetFlix instead of spending a 100 bucks at the movie theater. What else will Apple take over? Step back 10 years. Apple had computers. Now they OWN the portable music player market, they are the #1 music retailer (or wholesaler if you want to be honest), they have the #1 selling smart phone in the world, they have Apple TV which is slowly grabbing on, they have App stores for their computer platform, their iPod platform, their phone platform and their iPad platform.
To top it off they have over $60 billion in cash.

My dad's birthday is tomorrow and I haven't finished his quilt yet. I took a long time deciding what I wanted to do, kind of wanted a flannel warm and cozy type, but finally decided on a homespun Americana rail fence pattern. Then I was undecided between raggy and traditional. If I would have done raggy it would be done. Sigh. Anyway it should get done this week, although I was hoping to be done tonight. Got busy blogging and talking as usual.
So here is the score now for selling this week. I sold 3 more kits in my ecrater store. Had a phone message this morning from a lady who needs a quilt for grandbaby due this month. She is so busy, doesn't have time to cut and sew and wanted to know about shipping time for a kit.
This cracks me up. She was on her lunch break when I called her and said she would order and pay when she got back to 'work.' Funny to me because I am beginning to be aware of how much time is spent on the internet shopping and social networking by employees. What did people do before the internet? Work?!? We used to go out for smoke breaks at the college. Mona always had to go for smoke breaks too. People would say, 'I didn't know you smoke.' and she said 'I don't, I'm just addicted to second hand smoke.' Now nobody smokes and I don't think you can even smoke on campus or most workplaces anymore, so good thing we have the internet to keep people from getting bored.
I twittered this morning that I was all but giving up on etsy. I don't mind what I am paying for the listings so much, it is pretty cheap. But I think etsy has a lot more sellers than buyers. So, I swear it was only 30 seconds after I twittered I checked my email and had a sale there! That was pretty funny.
ebay is slow again. I had only 1 sale there today, none over the weekend. I think people are just getting used to googling for what they want and understanding that there are so many more e-commerce options than just ebay and amazon. Google is definitely the key for all the other sites, the better they get at submitting to google the better the traffic. K was showing me the other night how to use the google adwords keyword tool to research keywords for listings. It is worth a look if you haven't tried it. If you have been selling on ebay for a while you are probably pretty good at using keywords anyway, but I still found it interesting to see what people actually enter in searches.
Ok, that's it for blogging for today. I got work to do tomorrow and hopefully some show and tell soon if I can get that quilt done! Happy selling, d

Katie Danzer is one woman who will always be in your head, and dominate your thoughts throughout the day. But Katie is not just another pretty face. She was Miss New Mexico 2013 and if that wasn't enough, Katie is also a certified hair and make-up stylist, she has managed a dental company, and she loves to help people in her community. Katie has also appeared in shows "Crash" and Easy Money. And just recently, Katie was in the running to win Miss COED's "Miss COED of the Year 2015." It's apparent that Katie is one exceptional woman, and with her passion and drive–nothing will stop her from achieving her goals.
When did you get interested in modeling?
Katie Danzer: I started at around age 17/18 when I did a test shoot during a family portrait session, and realized I love the camera.
What was the modeling business like when you first started out?
Katie Danzer: It was hard. You learn a lot. I have never signed with an agent, and I am fully self-made, which I am very proud of. It takes a lot of networking, free work, and persistence.
Any ideas you've had that you haven't gone through because they seemed too extreme?
Katie Danzer: I have always wanted to model for Maxim, but due to my body shape, I do not meet the measurement requirements.
You were in the running for "Miss COED of the Year 2015." What was that experience like for you?
Katie Danzer: It was interesting. I never like doing online contests, due to hackers, people who don't like to participate, and having a busy schedule. I did not make top five in the end.
Walk me through the step-by-step process that you went through to get to where you are today?
Katie Danzer: I don't know if I can remember every single step, but it was a lot of hard work. Several times I have spent hundreds of dollars on printing images to send out to every single agency that I could think of–with no responses. I have submitted hundreds of images online, have gone to a ton of networking events, done a ton of work in trade with other people, and have spent a lot of money on travel, contracts, etc. Persistence is key to everything.
What form of criticism/negativity have you come across in your modeling career, and how did you overcome it?
Katie Danzer: I always seem to hear the words curvy, heavy, thick, overweight. However, I am comfortable in my own body, and have worked hard to get to where I am. I cannot help genetics, and there is always gonna be companies that love the curves I have. I'm healthy.
What companies/publications would you like to work with, but haven't yet?
Katie Danzer: I don't have a "list." I am very open anyone who can help me advance or teach me something in my career.
What's the best and worst part about modeling?
Katie Danzer: Best? I love people! I love meeting fans and reading messages on how I inspired someone. Hard? I love food! Diets are always a struggle for me.
What can people expect to see from you this year?
Katie Danzer: I have a lot in the works. I have several magazine publications coming out, and I recently started a workout routine, so I am hoping to break out into the fitness world soon.
If someone walked up to you asking for advice and you only had a few minutes to give them your best tip, what would it be?
Katie Danzer: If you want something: get it; no one will ever get something for you. If you have flaws, embrace them; someone will always love those flaws. Be yourself, be confident, and be unforgettable.

The Angel Balancing Session
Balanced Perceptions, LLC
In an Angel Balancing Session, Summer Isme will help you connect to your guardian angel for support. In the session she will remove negative energies, sever (psychic) energy cords that no longer serve your higher purpose and ground (anchor) you to the Earth in order to help you create balance in your daily life. She will assist you with connecting to powerful healing Angels, along with your personal guardian angel. You will also experience the healing power of the Violet Flame.
Common questions about the Angel Balancing Sessions:
Does everyone have a Guardian Angel?
Yes! Everyone has a powerful being of light who guides them in their human journey. Anyone who wants to connect with their guardian angel has access to this special being.
What happens in the Angel Balancing Session?
You will be guided into a comfortable state of relaxation
Angelic protection is invoked
You will be anchored to the Earth by the Angel
Ms. Isme will use a crystal to sever cords of negative energy away from your energy field while Archangel Michael severs cords that no longer serve your higher purpose on the astral level; allowing you to clear away old and outworn energies from your body, mind, heart, spirit, and aura
Once the cords have been severed, they will be directed to leave your body, mind, heart, spirit, and aura, setting you free to heal
Ms. Isme will invoke a healing Angel and use Reiki to open and clear all negative energy from your Chakras; after they are cleared she will infuse them with healing light
A healing Angel will then be invoked to repair any energy centers that needs repair, in order to restore balance to your energy system
Ms. Isme will invoke the Violet Flame of Purification and Transmutation to purify and transmute any residual scattered or negative energy around you, into the love and light of God, to allow healing energy to flow into every cell of your being
Ms. Isme will end the Angel Balancing session by helping you to connect with your personal Guardian Angel. You may receive a special message from your Guardian Angel at the end of the session
Ms. Isme will assist you in coming back from your state of deep comfort; feeling calm, safe, and secure
What will I experience during an Angel Balancing Session?
The experience is unique to each individual. Everyone reports some kind of shift or change during and after the session. Some people report feeling the psychic cords or negative energy being pulled out of them, some people hear them as they are severed while others smell an electric discharge. If the client is resisting the clearing they tend to feel that resistance too. There is no physical pain, this is an energy healing session, so you may feel your energy shifting during the session, and you may feel very cool or very warm, despite the comfortable temperature in the office. An overwhelming feeling of comfort and great relief is how most people describe the Angel Balancing Session.
Some clients report seeing different colors of energy or feeling tingly energy sensations, warm or cool in different parts of their body, and others may report feeling a sense of floating (weightlessness). Some clients have reported connecting with a loved one who has crossed over.
All clients report feeling calm, comfortable, and at peace, at the end of the session.

Nissan Micra 1.5 dCi N-Connecta 5dr [Exterior+ Pack] ReviewThe image may be different to the version you have selected
Manufacturer price from:£20,085
What Car? Target Price:£18,794
What Car? will save you at least £1,291, but our approved dealers could save you even more.
The Micra has an attractive interior, good safety equipment and a decent petrol engine, but in other areas, like rear seat space and handling in particular, it trails class rivalsget the best price
N-Connecta Micras are well equipped, getting everything from sat-nav and electrically folding door mirrors to rear privacy glass and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Unfortunately, they're also quite pricey, so we'd stick with Acenta trim.,
Engine:1.5 dCi
The Micra's diesel engine delivers its power evenly from low revs, so while it doesn't like to be worked hard, this is rarely a problem. It's impressively refined, too, but is quite expensive to buy.
