Fathom Yacht For Charter
A 45-meter super-yacht that journeys to the most exotic locales, motor yacht Fathom is also a destination in and of itself. Derived from the old English word FAEOM, Fathom depicts the embracing arms of Da Vinci's Vitruvian man which welcomes and embraces guests within the luxury and comfort of this tri-deck super yacht.
Main Features
- Interior design by award winning Mark Zeff
- Fully equipped gym
- Six-seater Jacuzzi
- Exquisite use of materials - silk wall panels, leathers, rich woods, hand-knotted silk carpets and marble
- Long standing Captain
- RYA Training Centre
Motor yacht Fathom is 45 metres of floating masterpiece.
Superyacht Fathom's incredibly pristine white hull is packed with a 417 gross tonnage of sheer class and luxury. Down on the lower deck are four glamorous guest cabins accessed via a LED-lit hallway. Each with their own ensuite, the staterooms have been styled with exotic décor, clad in bamboo, leather panels and red handmade rice wallpaper. She can now comfortably accommodate 10 guests into 5 cabins (instead of 8 guests into 4 cabins) as the office has been converted to a nanny/children stateroom and a shower has been added in the day head.
Moving directly up a level, the main saloon has been styled to an award winning Mark Zeff design. Zeff Design's choice of materials are second to none, incorporating the highest quality stunning silk wall panels, the softest of leathers, rich wood finishes, hand-knotted silk carpets and a marble-topped dining table. Creating the feel of a luxuriously appointed home, sumptuous seating, a large screen TV and a full length dining table make this the perfect space to relax or entertain.
The entire width and forward of the main deck is dedicated purely to the master suite, with walls bathed in white silk, luxurious fabrics and divine linen. Her king-sized bed that hides a retractable plasma-screen TV in the footboard is positioned in the centre of the room. Behind the centerpiece is a duo of exquisite walk-in dressing areas along with a spa-like bathroom featuring marble walls, and a soothing river-rock floor.
The upper deck, home to the fly bridge and Captain's cabin, boasts another lounge embellished with hand-stitched cowhide rugs and an array of mahogany cabinets filled with nautical antiques. Technology has been mastered down to a tee with an integrated sound system with full exterior network and multiple iPod docking stations.
Boasting three exceptional decks, Fathom is the ideal yacht for al fresco dining, relaxing or bathing. With ample seating, sunpads aplenty and a five-seater Jacuzzi, the sun deck offers the perfect setting for catching some rays or enjoying cocktails as the sunsets. With a fully equipped gym also found on the sun deck, there really is no better place to work out whilst taking in the breath-taking views.
Armed with an abundance of toys from paddleboards to WaveRunners, and snorkeling equipment to fishing equipment, Fathom meets all personality requirements.
The yacht holds a Spanish charter license and will be available for charter in France, Italy and Spain. With excellent broker's references, every element of this fine vessel has been meticulously executed.

As long as we're on the subject of what the ancients advised regarding the connection between physical and spiritual health, we might also touch on the fact that the ancient civilizations appear to have set a rather high regard upon deliberate exposure to the sun.
For instance, Herodotus relates that the fact that the Egyptians shaved their heads and exposed them to the sun, which (he relates) apparently causes the skull to become thick and hard, as opposed to the brittle skulls of those who keep their heads out of the sun. Here is the passage from Book III of the Histories by Herodotus (translation by George Rawlinson):
On the field where this battle was fought I saw a very wonderful thing which the natives pointed out to me. The bones of the slain lie scattered upon the field in two lots, those of the Persians in one place by themselves, as the bodies lay at the first- those of the Egyptians in another place apart from them. If, then, you strike the Persian skulls, even with a pebble, they are so weak, that you break a hole in them; but the Egyptian skulls are so strong, that you may smite them with a stone and you will scarcely break them in. They gave me the following reason for this difference, which seemed to me likely enough:- The Egyptians (they said) from early childhood have the head shaved, and so by the action of the sun the skull becomes thick and hard. The same cause prevents baldness in Egypt, where you see fewer bald men than in any other land. Such, then, is the reason why the skulls of the Egyptians are so strong. The Persians, on the other hand, have feeble skulls, because they keep themselves shaded from the first, wearing turbans upon their heads. What I have here mentioned I saw with my own eyes, and I observed also the like at Papremis, in the case of the Persians who were killed with Achaeamenes, the son of Darius, by Inarus the Libyan.
Whatever we think of the propensity of Herodotus to pass along stories that seem a little difficult to believe, it is clear that at least some ancients appear to have believed in a connection between exposure to the sun and the health and strength of the skull, for what it's worth.
Nor was Herodotus alone in relating belief in the health-giving properties of habitual exposure to the sun. The writings of other ancient historians including Pliny the Younger contain descriptions of habitual sun-bathing, often after a meal. Pliny relates that his uncle, Pliny the Elder, was accustomed to such a sun bath every day.
Other ancient writers and philosophers also appear to have extolled the virtues of habitual daily exposure to the sun for some period of time. Like other ancient wisdom, this knowledge appears to have been widespread. The Vedic traditions, for instance, appear to teach a connection between prana and the habitual daily exposure to the sun's rays.
Some modern medical practitioners now argue that deliberate daily exposure to the sun is extremely beneficial (I am not a doctor, so check with them for your specific case). Dr. Joseph Mercola, who often discusses areas in which he believes that current medical orthodoxy is mistaken or even potentially harmful, has many articles on his website discussing the importance of deliberate exposure to the sun, and with more of the skin than just the hands and face. Links to some of his discussions of this subject include:
- "When should you go out in the sun?"
- "Lack of sunshine linked to cognitive decline"
- "My One-Hour Free Vitamin D Lecture"
- "Hello Sun Exposure / Interview with Dr. William Grant"
And there are many others. Dr. Mercola has also written a book about evidence for health benefits of habitual sun exposure.
Even more interesting, perhaps, than the physical benefits of exposure to the sun, however, is the evidence that there may be spiritual benefits to this practice as well. Santos Bonacci, in an interview with Curtis Davis from October of 2011, touches on this important aspect of exposure to the sun (this is a different interview from the one mentioned in the previous post, but it too can be found on iTunes as a podcast and downloaded for free -- use the search function inside of the iTunes podcast section to look for Santos Bonacci and then look for a date of October 2, 2011).
At 27:51 in that interview, Santos tells us:
The sun provides us with three things, which all begin with "L" -- Love, Light, and Life. It's the source of all of those things. So when the rays of the sun bathe us, every atom of our body rejoices. Our soul is bathed in photons, and this is why we should strip ourselves naked and lie in the sun's rays, as much as we can, to be bathed with those vitalizing little atoms, those electrons and protons which come from the sun.
While we're at it, we may also want to shave our heads as the ancient Egyptians did (according to Herodotus and later Plutarch), to help the skull to grow thick and hard!

Climate Northeast
Challenge: World Resources Institute, or WRI, came to us to help move the Climate Northeast project up the priority list. It was time to create its own identity and establish a beautiful platform to build on.
Results: We went to work at the ground level creating a multitude of draft designs for the logotype. After many rounds of back and forth we arrived at a simple and attractive solution that carries symbolism and meaning to some of the Northeast's largest corporations. Easy access to the project's publications provide the public with high-level materials to plan ways to reduce pollution and maximize sustainability. Case studies also track the projects successes and benefits. A private side that grants secure access to corporate partners and serves as a clearing house for special resources for these parties.

Almighty God, who hast poured upon us the new light of thine incarnate Word: Grant that the same light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't just a physical visitation. It was a spiritual coming of Majesty. With the Incarnation and Nativity God's Light was shone. His Light was shone on dark hearts. It was necessary for darkness to dwell in our hearts so God's Light could find a dwelling to rest, shining forth Light on our entire beings. Remember, our hearts, in Hebraic poetry is our ENTIRE being, not our physical hearts.
And not only was that Light to shine forth in our entire lives, it shines forth FROM our lives.
Our light is ignited by THE Light!
Paul encourages his partner in the Faith, Titus, in chapter 2, verses 1-14, " For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds" (Emphasis mine).
This season to me is a time about births, our Savior's own humble birth and the humble birth and re-birth we experience as His followers through the gracious work of the Holy Spirit.
Notice that Salvation came to bring about TRAINING!
That means it is a on-going process. Salvation, rebirth, and renewal on on-going and continuing throughout the entirety of our Christian journey. The Spirit's training brings about the piety that God desires of His followers.
The Light is manifested within us already. Shining through all the darkest depths of our hearts to change and develop them into areas illuminated by the strength of Salvation and the Light of Love
This is all taking place because in this season we celebrate the time of our Savior's birth.
Without the grand design of God's plan of salvation we would still be in wondering darkness filled with impiety and sin.
But God's manifestation has come!
Our Light has been born!
Our hearts have illuminated!
God is purifying us in this time of renewal and rebirth to be His people, a people ZEALOUS for good works!
You know what I notice about that last verse in Titus?
The word people!
We are God's chosen. We are in community!
At Ascension's Christmas Eve Holy Eucharist, we had candles at the end of the service that we all held. We started singing "Silent Night" and the usher walked down the nave's main aisle and lite the person's candle on the end who in turn would light the candle of the person on their right.
I find it a funny coincidence that those verses in Titus were also read for the public reading of Scripture for this service this night.
We were there to celebrate the coming of Light to darkness.
All the while it never hit me how powerful the image of our lighting each other's candles were!
What a powerfully strong physical metaphor and reminder of what God's Light does in our own lives.
Our lives have been taken from darkness into Light. God has walked down the aisle of our hearts and ignited our candles!
What are we to do in turn?
We are to turn to our neighbors and light theirs. We are A PEOPLE, COMMUNITY!
Jesus commanded us, "Be a light to the world" (paraphrase).
He also told us that we would do greater things then He! Why? Because we have the strength and promise of the Holy Spirit.
We are to, by the guidance of the Spirit and through prayer, go forth and light the candles that lay in darkness in the hearts of the world bringing the Peace of Heaven to those in the dark.
We have been touched by Peace in Christ's birth. Our candles have been lite.
That Peace came into our hearts to bring serenity and salvation, truth and strength, and piety and righteousness.
We are to share this Peace, which by now you know IS Christ with the world.
Father Howard and Father Backus both spoke at the Christmas Eve Eucharist. They both made a point that this birth and renewal is accompanied with signs. That the narrative of the Advent and Christmas are filled with characters experiencing signs.
Father Howard made it strongly clear that those signs come from within community.
Community shining light on each other, lighting each other's candles.
Community going forth to the world to light candles that lay in darkness as our own once did.
Community being zealous for good deeds, social justice, peace, reconciliation, and love.
But the warning we must follow is to not get trapped into the mentality that it is our own essence or our own light that does this lighting of other's candles.
Our candles once laid in darkness too!
Our candles sometimes glow dimly!
The Light in our candles is the Light of Christ shining forth from the time of the Nativity.
I like Saint John's writing in I John 4:7-15 because it is a fitting passage for this time of rebirth and lighting of candles in darkness:
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God" (ESV, emphasis mine).
We are to be MANIFESTATIONS OF LIGHT for a world laying in the dark as the Love and Light of God was made manifest among us.
This song by Chris Rice, "Go Light Your World", is a fitting example of what this time in the liturgical calender and Church year is about:
Go Light Your World
There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle, and makes his home
Carry your candle
Run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
And hold out your candle
For all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world
Take your candle and go light your world
Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle, without a flame
Carry your candle
Run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
And hold out your candle
For all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world
Take your candle and go light your world
Cause we are a family
Whose hearts are blazing
So lets raise our candles and light up the sky
Prayin to our Father in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times
Carry your candle
Run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, deceived and
Hold out your candle
For all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world
Take your candle and go light your world
Hold our your candle
For all to see it
Take out your candle and go light your world
Take your candle and go light your world
Take your candle and go light your world
By Chris Rice
To drive the point further, David Crowder proclaims in SMS (Shine), "Shine your light so all can see it. Lift it up cause the whole world needs it. Love has come, what joy to hear it! He has overcome, he has overcome!"
With Christ light we CAN and SHALL overcome our own darkness and that of the world.
O God, who didst wonderfully create, and yet more wonderfully restore, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, thy Son Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

LEGO Hobbit Video Game In The Works!
November 25, 2013 by brennon
The One Ring.net has managed to find some sneaky images of what is coming for The Hobbit in 2014. It looks like, much like with Lord of the Rings, there is going to be a video game for Bilbo's journey based in the world of blocks that is LEGO!
There are of course a lot of sets coming out around the release of Desolation of Smaug as it is and I imagine this full game might appear after the release of the third film so it can be bought together as one long adventure.
The LEGO games are actually quite fun and The Lord of the Rings had you exploring many areas of Middle-Earth you might not have normally had fun in. They are of course kids games but adults get to have fun too!
I might have to be picking this up.

Information For
College of Business > News & Events > New Professor Joins MACC Program
Andrew Zamorski / 8/29/2016 / Posted in: Faculty; College and Schools / Twitter / Facebook /
Tawei (David) Wang is the newest faculty member to join DePaul University's School of Accountancy and Management Information Systems.
"DePaul has a great reputation, a strong alumni group, really exceptional faculty and students, and a great connection with the industry," says Wang. "That is an excellent environment for teaching business as we can tie academic learning with actual business operations."
While no stranger to the Midwest, having received his PhD in management information systems from Purdue University, Wang comes to DePaul from Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaii, where he taught undergraduate and graduate accounting courses for the last five years. Wang holds a master's degree in accounting from National Taiwan University, where he also received his bachelor's in accounting.
At DePaul, Wang will be teaching data analytics and data mining courses within the MACC program. The MACC program prepares students for forensic accounting and internal auditing roles that are in high demand by employers. The program is designed to provide students with the real-world skills employers seek.
"As a teacher, I love to have different types of exercises in the classroom because I believe that the best way to learn is organically or intuitively," says Wang. "I design lectures and assignments to make students work and understand a concept first and then apply them to real-world situations."
Wang is an expert in the areas of IT management and audit, and security and risk management, in addition to data analytics and mining. These subjects propel his research.
Wang's most recent scholarly work focuses on social media. He is researching how companies respond to their competitor's product recalls to see if their reactions manipulate the media momentum to affect final sales revenues. He also is looking at other uses for information technology and how it generates different business transformations across a 20-year time period.

Top-10 Fantasy Premier League Scorers
As we prepare for the 2017-2018 fantasy Premier League season on DraftKings it is important to review the top scorers from last season. By identifying the players who had success on DraftKings it will help with roster selection and understanding what players maximize collecting DraftKings fantasy points.
10. Dele Alli, M, Tottenham Hotspur
463 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Dele exploded on the scene after moving to Tottenham from MK Dons in 2015. The England international scored 18 goals from midfield while also chipping in seven assists. The sky is the limit for Dele, and he should be a major fantasy star next season.
9. Diego Costa, F, Chelsea
464.75 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Costa is expected to be sold by Chelsea, so it is more than likely he will not be plying his trade in the Premier League next season. Chelsea has already signed Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid who could easily find his name on this list next season.
8. Phillippe Coutinho, M, Liverpool
466.5 DraftKings Fantasy Points
The Brazilian wizard is being targeted by Barcelona as a potential replacement for the newly departed Neymar. Expect Liverpool to do all they can to hold onto Coutinho who recorded over 100 crosses and shots last season.
7. Eden Hazard, M, Chelsea
471 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Hazard returned to form along with Chelsea last season, and he ended the campaign with 16 goals and five assists. Hazard is a genius on the ball, and he drew 101 fouls (second to Wilfried Zaha's 121). Yes, fouls drawn get you a fantasy point a piece on DraftKings.
6. Romelu Lukaku, F, Everton
(Now playing for Manchester United)
503.75 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Lukaku played for Everton last season and was able to complete a dream move to Old Trafford this transfer window. He'll be the centerpiece of the Man U attack and 25 goals may be in the cards once again for the powerful attacker.
5. Kevin DeBruyne, M, Manchester City
538.75 DraftKings Fantasy Points
DeBruyne had exceptional vision last season providing 18 assists for his teammates. The do-it-all midfielder had 275 crosses and was the heartbeat of the dangerous Man City attack. Expect him to hook up with emerging young star Gabriel Jesus who saw limited action last season due to a January transfer and injury troubles.
4. Harry Kane, F, Tottenham Hotspur
562.75 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Kane led the Premier League in goals with 29 and will be expected to contend for the Golden Boot again this season. He is a pure goalscorer, and he led the league in shots on goal with 58. The scary thing? Kane missed time due to an injury and only started 29 Premier League matches. He'll push for the number one spot on this list.
3. Christian Eriksen, M, Tottenham Hotspur
592.25 DraftKings Fantasy Points
Another spot, another Tottenham star. The Danish free-kick artist finished second in the league with 15 assists and should form a powerful combo with Harry Kane for another season. Eriksen delivered 245 crosses last year, so his fantasy floor is very high.
2. Alexis Sanchez, F, Arsenal
611 DraftKings Fantasy Points
The enigmatic Chilean dynamo scored 24 goals to go with 10 assists last year, and if he remains an Arsenal player (rumored to be a target of PSG, Manchester City and others), he will be near the top of this list next season. Arsenal bolstered their attack with French forward Alexandre Lacazette, but Alexis' production is very secure.

DWH Beauty
On the Sheffield-based trio's second EP for Counterpoint, Zagreb's Eddy & Yannah skillfully rework "Beauty" into a Latin-tinged dancefloor filler. Blackbeard goes into dirty slow jam mode on "Darkside" with blistering results. The original "Beauty" and "Latter Rains," along with remixes, showcase Genifa Vernon-Edwards's elegant vocals, which make a strong first impression.

A long-time reader filed this dispatch from the 1961 baseball season:
On June 7, 1961, Roger Maris hit his 17th home run of the season, a three-run shot off of Pedro Ramos in a 5-1 Yankee win over Minnesota. The Yankees remained in third place, three games behind the first place Cleveland Indians.
Maris's 17th homer came in the Yankees' 49th game. Maris was thus on pace to hit 56 home runs. Right behind him were two better-pedigreed sluggers, Mickey Mantle and Rocky Colavito, with 15 each. Considering that the season was not even one-third complete, and given the difficulty of maintaining a better than one home run per three games pace, there was little reason to believe that Babe Ruth's record of 60 homers was in much jeopardy. Yet Maris was hot. His June 7 blast was his fifth of the month and ninth in twelve games.
Unfortunately, the rest of Maris's output was not so impressive. Beyond the 17 home runs, he had only 23 other hits to show for the season, which meant that his batting average stood at a lowly .237. His on-base percentage was a so-so .356. Mantle's corresponding numbers were .298 and .410.
Maris's slugging percentage of .550 was fine, but still 110 points below Jim Gentile's league-leading mark. Others with much higher numbers included Mantle (.627), Harmon Killebrew (.622), Norm Cash (.608) and Indians catcher John Romano (.637).
So yesterday in baseball history, Maris wasn't just a prohibitive long-shot to break Babe Ruth's home run record. He was arguably less than even-money to start for the American League in the All Star game.

A FORMER model has quit the catwalk to help the girls of New York follow their dreams.
Amy Rewcastle, 32, left Scotland where she was in great demand in front of the camera and now spends her time working with girls from some of the poorest parts of the Big Apple.
Amy is now based in New York where she lives with her fiancé Raul Gonzalez and is the official global ambassador for the Lower East Side Girls Club.
And the work she has done over there has inspired her to set up a similar venture in Glasgow.
Amy said: "Lower East Side Girls Club was set up about 15 years ago to work with girls from the area.
"The lower east side of Manhattan has many low income families and there are challenges to be overcome.
"The club was set up to help facilitate the development of girls aged from eight to 18 with motivation, entrepreneurship workshops, ethical awareness, and to teach them how to support and collaborate with each other.
"They do a lot of amazing things here."
Amy, of Kilmarnock, was a model for nine years before she retrained as a hypnotherapist.
She made the move to NYC last year after deciding she wanted to indulge a passion for travel. And she already had a link to the LES Girls Club.
She said: "I've always travelled. My dad is half American and my stepmum Beverly Bronson has an orphanage in Nepal.
"I was so inspired by the work she does. She is a humanitarian person.
"She is English but she lived in New York for 40 years and spent time in Nepal.
"She basically founded her own orphanage there and built it from the ground up – not with her own hands but with support from a lot of different businesses and investors.
"They helped her establish the orphanage about 13 years ago. She spends six months a year there and the rest in New York.
"The Nepalese orphanage is partnered with the LES Girls Club so that was the connection and how I came across this amazing organisation.
"It made sense for me to spend more time in New York."
The LES club is an impressive purpose-built centre which has a kitchen where girls can learn to cook, bathrooms featuring intricate mosaics the girls have designed, a dance studio, art room, a health and wellness centre and a library.
There is also a music room complete with its own DJ learning space and recording studio while the science and environmental education centre has a planetarium and a roof garden.
Almost as soon as Amy started working at the LES Girls Club, bosses were so impressed that they suggested she branch out and look at opening her own branch in Glasgow.
Since September last year, she has been hosting a series of workshops and classes for girls in the Maryhill area of the city.
She hopes the Glasgow Girls Club, which will be based at the Burgh Halls, will be up and running by November.
Amy said: "It's funny that although I wanted to travel from Glasgow, I'm now going to be back there.
"We will be the first Girls Club in Glasgow. But it's not a franchise – it's a sisterhood.
"It's impossible to turn a sisterhood into a business but a lot of businesses support the projects so there is a lot of investment in what we do.
"It's about sustainability and being able to make something out of nothing.
"LES Girls Club started out by using lots of little halls and venues before they got their first purpose-built venue last year. We can do big things."
From her current base in the Big Apple, Amy has already started working with a number of Scottish projects and youth organisations such as Depot Arts in Possilpark and New Rhythms in Glasgow, who encourage creativity in young people.
She said: "There is a fair bit of crossover. We do crafts and fill a lot of gaps in what is provided for young people.
"At the moment, we are working with girls aged between 12 and 16. We haven't yet managed to secure any funding so we are starting small."
Back in New York, Amy and the girls have worked on creating a quilt which they hope to auction off to raise funds.
The fabric was donated by Scots-based textile company Timorous Beasties.
Amy said: "The girls put all the little pieces together and the end result is phenomenal.
"We have plans to auction it and you can see it on our Facebook page. It is worth more than $1000."
The club regularly has guest motivational speakers, including Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, who has revealed that she is expecting her first child.
It also has celebrity backing in the form of America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks and Sin City actress Rosario Dawson. Former supermodel Tyra is so impressed with the project she has her own area in the LES Club where she offers girls counselling.
Rosario is delighted that the concept will be in Scotland soon.
She said: "I'm a very proud board member of Lower East Side Girls Club and I cannot tell you how ecstatic I am that there will now be a sister organisation opening up, The Glasgow Girls Club."
Amy is hopeful she can enlist some big names to support her Glasgow club and plans to organise exchange trips between New York and here.
She said: "Tyra Banks is pretty hands-on and is actively involved with the running of the club.
"Who knows if she will be involved in the Scottish side of things? We can have our own version of Tyra Banks here.
"We also plan to create exchange programmes for girls in both New York and Glasgow to give cultural education.
"It's not just a case of telling them about places but actually being able to bring them to New York and bring girls from here to Glasgow.
"What Scots don't realise is that everyone has this amazing admiration and attraction to Scottish culture and it escapes us a little bit.
"The girls in New York can't wait to come to Glasgow and are so excited.
"I can't imagine what it will feel like to the girls from Maryhill who have never travelled outside of Glasgow.
"Just knowing that there is a girl, just like them, here in NYC who can't wait to meet them is something else."

I remember listening to George Carlin's comedy albums in junior high and high school. He and Richard Pryor were always my favorites. My high school art teacher actually let me play George Carlin in class, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We would often listen to music during art class, which always caused a disagreement about what should be played. There were some who preferred classical, and some who wanted to play the Grateful Dead. George Carlin was a great common denominator.
Until he said: "Have you ever noticed that most women who are against abortion are women you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?"

Using Google To Learn Vocabulary
Students, how do you study vocabulary? Most students have lists of words that they study. Often, they try to memorize the translation. This isn't bad, but sometimes it's hard to remember the new words. If you can connect the new words with something, then it's easier to remember them. For example, if you learn a new word and see a funny picture at the same time, then your brain has two memories: the word and the funny picture. That's why you're more likely to remember the word.
So, how can you create connections? One great way is to use Google. Do a Google search for the word you want to learn. First, you get a definition of the word. You can also see (1) websites that use the word, (2) pictures of the word, (3) videos of the word, and more.
Here's a new word: Strenuous. Click on the links below to see the Google searches for this word. Can you guess what it means?
Pretty cool, right? (~^)

I love the Closing Disclosure forms. I have to say it.
What is killing me is the collaboration process. It's like a bomb went off in the industry and we are working with systems and procedures cobbled together in the aftermath of the explosion.
I continue to hope that there will be a normalcy soon.

Birling, who seems to know the Chief Constable, does not know him gives the feel of someone who really does not ?belong', as if he is from another time period. Ghoul is an addition to the words that have been brought up to sum up the general feeling of the Inspector; you know nothing about him, but he knows everything about you...

Throughout the entire ordeal he remains passionate about his job, but at the same time stays objective and neutral. Except when he gets far too emotional and articulates that you must learn something from the trials and tribulations of life. I feel that the Inspector is human, but at the same time it is as if he has slipped through time; his judgements, and the way in which he orders, and shouts at people that are socially higher than him...

Get Weird is the third studio album from Britain's premiere girl band, with a thoroughly American production effort shining through from the stand out first single Black Magic. The follow up single Love Me Like You is another hit, with throw back Motown vibes reminiscent of Stooshe's Black Heart.
Their four voices are all equally as strong and soulful – as evidenced recently on a brilliant Live Lounge mash up of Jason Derulo's Want To Want Me and Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Derulo himself turns up as a guest vocalist on Secret Love Song, the album's strongest ballad. Most tracks though, are bangers, with thumping retro beats, like the 1980s feel of Weird People, and tight harmonies are on offer from all the girls in most songs. Writing credits come thick and fast on Get Weird, including from pop stars in their own right John Newman and Jess Glynne, who contributes to the empowerment anthem Grown.

We leave for China 4 weeks from today.
A combination of excitement and nervousness/anxiety has set in.
As far as our planning goes, I have worked an awful lot on our budget, as it is extremely tight. I have now added the Chinese and Japanese exchange rates, and sectioned out what I will need, and where.
At this point, our trip into Tokyo (from Narita) is likely to be cut. It is sad but true. This is disappointing, but I'm more ok with it than I thought I'd be.
Now that we have our passports and travel visas, the only "official" document left to prepare is Hubby's permission for us to travel abroad without him. Then, all the official stuff will be done and I can stop having nightmares about leaving and having forgotten to prepare these all too important documents!
We've also started to pack. We have a bin where we put anything and everything that we want or need to bring with us, so that we don't forget them.
It's coming so quickly... but at the same time, still feels so far away...

This is me right after our vacation in the stripes. The other two are pics of clothes I wore TIGHTLY prior to weight loss.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Meeeeee, okay you get the point. Well, I am a few days late but, better late than never. Right?
I did my big kicking re-gain's ass weigh in on Wednesday my 40th birthday. In the 5 weeks between my challenge of getting back to logging my food, working out and eating better, I lost 13.6 of my 16 pound regain. Leaves me with a mere 2.4 pounds to lose and put this nasty little episode behind me. I'm proud of the outcome. No, I didn't lose 16 pounds in 5 weeks but, I kicked butt and did it the right way. A lot of exercise, meal planning and praying for help. There is nothing to feel bad about there, in my opinion anyway. Oh wait…mines the only one that counts since, it's my body, my challenge and my life! Okay God gets ultimate claim to it but, still for all accounts and purposes, I'll claim second on that list!
I've had some motivators who probably don't even realize they've motivated me. A lady from church is on her own weight loss journey and reading her check ins, ups and downs, has kept me realistic and focused on the fact that we all have our struggles and our successes. A great friend since high school has stopped taking a backseat in her life and made proactive steps towards improving her life. I see her looking to the Lord, taking a leap of faith and finding a new job, getting out there and coaching her little girls soccer team and just being an all around inspiration. My husband's faith in me and my capabilities, even when I'm doubting them. The way he works for our family which oh yeah includes me! If he thinks I'm worth working for, shouldn't I think the same way? My bestie co-blogger (well yeah we suck at the quantity but, it's all about the quality…right Clint?) and his own struggle with and then stomping all over of re-gain! Plus the numerous other successes he's had lately. Another friend who has been through the wringer off and on lately and just keeps smiling and moving forward PLUS, joining me on a get our butts in gear challenge and she lost quite a few pounds herself in this time period! If you look for it there are plenty examples of why perseverance is so important to us. We easily recognize it in others but, some of us…OKAY ME ME ME…find it hard to see in ourselves.
Went to the coast camping with my hubby and our 9 month old Bear (okay technically he's our German Shepard puppy) and still managed to get a lot of movement in, cook some seriously healthy and delicious meals and enjoy ourselves. Let's see some highlights from the trip…Bear barked and protected us from oncoming traffic for about 30 miles before Joe lost it and decided he was riding in his kennel in the trailer the rest of the way to the ocean, I made it to our pit stop without wetting my pants (I drank A LOT of water and iced coffee on the way there.), Joe got pulled into the ocean by Bear and I laughed hysterically, I got pulled into the ocean by Bear and laughed much less before just giving up and enjoying it, I stepped foot in the ocean DURING SHARK WEEK (I know pretty daring since I'm sure the sharks were very aware what week it was!), spent alone time with my guy and Bear of course, took some amazing walks, relaxed, reconnected as a couple, and of course still managed to LOSE WEIGHT on vacation.
The past couple of weeks I reconnected with my inner tomboy and realized I love riding my bike! Joe took us to the park where they have all these hills, jumps, and courses for BMX riding. I have a beach cruiser and a 40 year old body…neither has any kind of shocks! We rode for hours burned a gazillion (yes I logged it and it said a gazillion 😛 on MFP) calories. It was so much fun going on the course and track. It was incredibly awesome realizing I was CAPABLE of doing this! I had so much fun and we went back the following week too. So last weekend was our second week and the highlight was me going down a huge hill and hitting the track at a bad angle and too fast, thus flipping me off my bike into another hill! I was a big girl and there were no tears…I cannot say there were no bruises though. I am still sporting some pretty nice mementos of the "trip". We kept riding another 2 hours after that and it was a great family day. I am now on the search for a mountain bike because, well shocks would be really, REALLY, nice to have if I'd like to keep my knees and spine in decent shape (I'm sort of fond of those two things sooo…). I am way into the idea of a new bike but, someone is going to have to mud wrestle me to keep me from taking my big booty seat off my beach cruiser and putting it on the new bike! I like it, it's very comfy…we're friends.
Family pic from my birthday dinner. Can you tell my son has his daddy's smile? lol
For my birthday went out for dinner and had a nice time. Oh plus the restaurant sang happy birthday to me in Japanese and gave me a dessert that my 3 children promptly ate all of. When we left I decided I required some ice cream so we headed to Coldstone Creamery and I had a half of a kids cup of ice cream after dinner, before deciding I probably should stop eating it because, no one likes puking on their birthday and it wasn't "that kind" of party sooo…I tossed the ice cream instead. It was delicious though 🙂
I am now on my way to achieving my goal weight. I am keeping up the food logging, exercise and healthy choices (most of the time). I'm not giving myself a timeline because, as long as I am moving in the right direction, I really don't care how long it takes. I'm happy where I am and I feel wonderful so if I lose more living like this, that will be great. If I don't, well you know what? That will be great too. 40 feels pretty amazing from my vantage point.
Thanks for listening to (okay yes technically reading) my ramblings and hodgepodge of giddy goofiness.
Hugs and good choices,
P.S. I should have just kept eating the ice cream and got sick on my birthday. I've been sick since the day after with some kind of tummy thing. I have no clue what is up. Yes, this is me feeling sorry for my tummy! lol

Ever since I got pregnant there has been one thing that I wanted and today I finally got it! I kept putting off ordering one on the internet because they are sooo expensive. Well, today while I was casually perusing the items at Target I found this on sale- originally $40 I got it for $10. How awesome is that?!
Here is my great find-
I don't know if I am using it right but I really hope so! I have to go watch my instructional dvd now.

Baby Shower
Luke had his baby shower last Saturday and it went really well. My mom and my sisters did a great job putting it all together. I can't wait to put pictures up but I need one of my sisters to email me some of the pictures because I only got one :(
I received many great things from all the people there and I really enjoyed getting to see people that I hadn't seen in so long. I had some cousins there that I only get to see a few times a year so that was special to me that they came.
It really hit me on Saturday that we are all growing up. I don't think that I had fully realized it till everyone was there for MY baby's shower. I have a child and have to stop acting like a little girl myself. I have so many responsibilities now and I can't shirk any of them.
In other news I took Luke to the doctor and it went really well. He got his shots (yes, I know they are considered evil in some circles) and he took them like a pro. He also was up to 8 lbs 10 oz so that was exciting for me. It seems like it took so much work just to get him to weigh that much. Now I just keep pushing food and praying that he continues to gain weight.

2 Months Old
Today Luke turned 2 months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone since I had him. Sometimes I think that I can still feel him in the womb kicking me. Gone are the days of nice nights of sound sleep and pleasant dreams. Luke doesn't like to sleep so every night is a battle to get him to lay down. Whenever I look at him sleeping or smiling though I know that it is all worth while. I love every day that I have with him.
Now starts my little picture show :)
This is Luke with his little 2 months old sign.
Luke loves looking into the mirror.
We decided to go to a forest preserve and hike. Luke enjoyed being in his baby carrier.

New pictures
I took these pictures today and I think that they are cute.
I put Luke on a little bit of formula now and he is doing much better. He is sleeping better and I think that he is already picking up some weight.

Crazy Times
It has been awhile since I have had the time to actually sit down and write a post. I never thought that motherhood would be so crazy! I thought that I would be the perfect little mommy with a clean house and happy child.
Wow, I was wrong. My baby doesn't get a bath everyday because it is such a hassle to get everything ready because every time that I put him down he starts screaming. He then screams afterwards because I have to clean it up. The only way I am able to pick up is to have him strapped to me in a baby carrier. Oh and when I cook he is strapped onto me the whole time I do that.
My baby was a little sick this week as well. His being sick made everything a lot harder.
So I guess this week has been a series of lessons teaching me that everything goes pretty bad whenever I try to do it in my own strength. I think that I would be going insane without my prayer time every morning. I have a cute little baby though :)
This is the only way I am able to get some cleaning and laundry done.
And here is one just cause he is so sweet.

User experience practitioner roles
I'm dealing with an interesting situation right now. I'm trying to create a list of user experience "roles" with short descriptions. I'm using "role" here in the usual sense - not a job description but a set of closely related tasks and responsibilities that tend to be performed by a single person. And of course a single person might handle multiple roles.
This has been done plenty of times before, and for the most part it's pretty straightforward. There's a "user researcher" related role, an "interaction designer" related role, and a "usability tester" related role.
But there are a couple places where things get tougher.
First, how does one describe a "UX architect" role in a way that distinguishes it from the other roles. Given that I'm a UX architect, you'd think this would be a piece of cake, but I'm struggling with it. I have plenty of anecdotes that describe what I do, but distilling it down into a short description or bullet points is eluding me.
Second, how do you distinguish between a UXer who does interaction design and a "developer" who does interaction design? Obviously there are plenty of technical architects who spend their time on design and not coding, but we also have non-architects with development backgrounds who spend all their time on low-level design and don't do any coding. Are these people "UXers"? As someone who thinks my undergraduate and graduate degrees did close to nothing to prepare me for my career in user experience, I don't think there's any reason why someone can't "convert" from a different domain to user experience. But I can't shake the feeling that there's something vaguely different about the roles that has nothing to do with ability.
I wonder if all professions are as imperfectly defined as our's, if you're looking at them from the inside?

Chocolate or Flowers on Valentine's Day?
The less romantic in Japan have long complained about Valentine's Day, saying it is little more than a commercial ploy to sell chocolate during a quiet time of the year for the economy.
In a cultural quirk, Valentine's Day has become an occasion in Japan when girls and women approach boys and men with chocolate gifts as a token of their love. The boys are supposed to wait one month to reciprocate in what some see as an even more manufactured holiday, White Day on March 14.
The nation's fresh-flower industry sees an opportunity in all this. It has been on a quest to involve men and to turn Valentine's Day into an occasion to give flowers instead of--or as well as—chocolates, a common custom in other countries.
"We've been encouraging men to give flowers to their girlfriends and wives. Japanese men hardly buy flowers. By educating them, we can expand our market base," said Noriko Ogawa, a florist who has been managing a long-running campaign called Flower Valentine. Roughly 8,500, or more than a third of Japan's some 20,000 flower shops, have participated, promoting the men-giving-flowers-to-women custom since 2011.
The campaigners don't have much numerical data on progress, but Ms. Ogawa said she and other members of the campaign have received positive feedback from fellow florists.
On the campaign's official website, its appointed Mr. Flower Valentine, famous soccer player Kazuyoshi Miura, smiles at visitors with a big red rose bouquet in his hands and popular actor Show Aikawa talks about the time he met his wife. "I gave her flowers frequently. At that time I didn't know what she liked. So, I chose flowers because flowers make everybody happy."
With this year's Valentine's Day coming up, flower shops are in high spirits, decorating shop windows and counters with heart-shaped ornaments, ribbons and red roses, putting up posters of a man giving flowers to a woman, and handing out results of a survey showing that 85% of 500 female respondents said men who give a bouquet as a gift would make a very good impressions on them.
But despite three years of campaigning by the florists, chocolate still accounts for roughly half of the estimated ¥130 billion ($1.24 billion) Valentine's Day-related spending, according to figures by the Chocolate & Cocoa Association of Japan and the Japan Anniversary Association.
"We are yet no match for chocolate when it comes to sales. Still, we are developing new customers by using the Valentine's Day as a gateway," Ms. Ogawa told Japan Real Time.
Mary Chocolate Co. says on its website that it started Japan's tradition of chocolates for Valentine's Day in the late 1950s. Until then, women approaching men had been frowned upon. However, Mary Chocolate rolled out a heart-shaped chocolate with the message: "Girls, Confess Your Love to Your Guys. This Is a Once-a-Year Occasion."
More than six decades on, girls are less inclined to wait for Valentine's Day to confess their love. Instead, Valentine's Day has evolved into an extravagant, all-generation chocolate festival. Girls give chocolate to their grandparents or to their friends at school. Wealthy Japanese buy fancy European chocolates for themselves or exchange them with friends. There is no need for romantic love to enjoy the occasion, said a spokeswoman at high-end department store Takashimaya.
Yasuko Fujita, deputy director general of the Chocolate & Cocoa Association, said that unlike the hot and humid Japanese summer, winter is a good season for chocolate. "Valentine's Day serves as a great occasion to consume good chocolate at the best time of year," she said.

Luke Fox (Character)
Alias: Batwing
Publisher: DC Comics
Created by: Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray
1st appearance: Batwing #19, 2013
Real Name: Lucas Fox
Nationality: American
Team Affiliations: Batman Inc
Legal Status: Unknown
Height: 210 lbs Weight: 6'1
Eyes: Brown Hair: Black
Relatives: Lucius Fox (Father), Tamara Fox (Sister), Tanya Fox (Mother), Tiff Fox (Sister)
Skills and Abilities: Luke is an accomplished mixed martial arts fighter. He has also traveled the globe and learned from several martial arts masters. Most notable of those include Spear kung fu/ Shaolin Red Eagle Spear learned from Master Chu Chin Li, Kubi Nage a Judo/Juijitsu throwing technique from Sensei Tsunemoto. Luke also possess exceptional electrical and computer engineering skills as a MIT honors graduate.
Powers: Like most members of the Batman family and Batman Incorporated Luke has no superhuman abilities instead he relies on his martial arts skills, his brilliance and the power suit supplied by Batman designed by his father Lucius Fox.
Equipment: Luke wears a full body armor covering him from head to toe. The suit is bulletproof, has limited invisibility in low light areas, has a retractable cape for gliding on air currents and has interior skin which monitors vital signs and produces medical repair capabilities eg. If the wearer breaks his arm the suit hardens around the area holding the bone in place and administering a shot of pain killers. The suit also has retractable tranquilizers in the gauntlets that can also be fired like bullets and infrared vision. The suit also has:
- Specialized batarangs which can be used as brass knuckles or opened up to reveal two cutting edges.
- Vapor bats that can release sleeping gas.
- Grappling gun used to swing across across roofs and climb high buildings
Vehicles: Luke has been given access to his own personal vehicles by Batman to be used on his globe trotting adventures. First is the "Batwing Tumbler". Much like Batman's car it is armed front mounted guns, missile firing capabilities, thrusters and gliders for flight and also hovering capabilities allowing it to even travel up walls. It is also heavily armored and bulletproof.
He also has access to the "Batwing cycle" which like the batwing tumbler has front mounted guns for rapid fire capabilities, armored body, custom wheels fit for on and off road maneuvering. It is also capable of achieving of achieving exceptional speeds.
Born to Lucius and Tanya Fox after the two had graduated from college he was the first addition to the budding Fox Dynasty. His birth was a time of exceptional joy for his parents and his father Lucius in particular who dreamed that his son would one day follow in his footsteps. Luke was about four or five years old when his sister Tamara Fox was born. This was when his father Lucius began working at Wayne Tech affording them all the luxuries of the rich and famous. Years later they welcomed his little sister Tiff Fox [Batwing #25]. As he aged Luke and his father started to have clashing ideals as the younger Luke began having dreams of his own not centered around following in his fathers footsteps.
Due to the clashes with his father Luke grew closer to his mother Tanya who was more understanding of his rebellion. Luke made a deal with his father that he would at least finish College before venturing out on his own and true to his word he did.
The legend of Batman would emerge amid the greatest catastrophe Gotham had ever endured. A Maniac calling himself Riddler had shut down all-electric power mere days before a terrifying super storm [DC Comics Zero Year, 2013].
During this time he was at MIT college he started studying mixed martial arts. He was also best friends with geeky Russel Tavoraff who he often had to defend from bullies on campus. One night after martial arts training the two were attacked by a gang. This was the first time Luke would use his skills to defend himself. The night served two purposes to make Russel realize he was a weakling and made Luke realize what a rush it was to put his life on the line. Over the coming weeks he would fight with Batman against a gang, the same gang he had roughed up defending his friend. Luke was so excited he ran back to tell Russel. This is where he met Menace, his friend pumped up on Venom to become a terrifying supervillain. Realizing his friend was going to blow up the levees and cause a flood. Luke stopped him and he blew up his friend in the process [Batwing #25].

On the Radar
After the loss of his friend he began tournament fighting at age sixteen despite his father's disapproval. While finishing his studies at MIT he had one thing on his mind, joining Batman incorporated. He continued to moonlight as a masked crime fighter and even saved Bruce Wayne at a dinner party [Batwing #20]. Unknown to him he was being watched closely by Batman and was the hero's first choice for the Batwing mantle which was granted to David Zavimbe. because Batman was afraid to endanger his friend's son [Batwing #19].
After the death of David's mentor Matu Ba Batman approaches Luke with a new suit and the chance to join Batman incorporated as the Gotham based Batwing [Batwing #19].
Fantasy Fulfilled: Becoming Batwing
After his recruitment Batman trained him for months before deploying him into the field with a costume/power suit to keep his identity secret and grant him more protection than a typical operative the irony is that the suit was made by his father Lucius. His first assignment had him dispatched to Africa where he faced off with Lady Marabunta who he defeated [Batwing #19] before disobeying Batman's orders and shutting down the fearsome Lion Mane. By jumping in without thinking he was badly injured. Luke returned to Gotham and his complicated personal life (Multiple Girlfriends). Zena Zylenco [Batwing #20 and Batwing #21]. While at home the Marabunta captured his father and endangered his family. Teaming up with Batman they rescued Lucius [Batwing #22] and struck a major blow to the Marabunta. His disappearance during his father;'s capture however left him ostracized from his family [Batwing #23].
Luke later faced off with the assassin Lady Vic while on a date with Zena. Jumping in head first yet again he was soundly trumped by the villain who left his suit and ego badly damaged [Batwing #23]. He repaired the suit and made improvements before taking out Lady Vic and reconciling with Zena whose father had died [Batwing #24].
His next mission from Batman involved infiltrating the criminal empire of Charlie Caligula in Italy. He was aided in this task by Legionary [Batwing #26]. During "Gothtopia" where the whole of Gotham was laced with Scarecrow's Psychotrope drug he had a better relationship with his dad [Batwing #27]. His sister Tamara was then captured by Ratcatcher [Batwing #27]. This abduction left Batwing emotional and brutal as he tore through the Gotham underground to find his sister. The abduction also put strain on his parents marriage [Batwing #28]. When Tamara was found she was brain-dead from drug overdose. His sister Tiff also mysteriously vanished. With the revelation that his friend Russel now branded Menace was responsible he journeyed to the city under Gotham to enact revenge [Batwing #29]. While in this new world he fought the Anubis Cult run by Mother of Anubis until finally facing menace in a bloody mortal kombat. His suit was damaged but he managed to not only win but seemingly kill Menace [Batwing #30–Batwing #31].
