You have already decided that Bermuda is the perfect romantic paradise for your fairytale wedding, however if you thought your options were limited to beaches and resorts think again! This island is full of wedding options to be enhanced by unique Bermudan wedding traditions.
In Bermuda you can get married:
Weddings With a Difference
You'll be surprised to learn that this island has more churches per square mile than any other country in the world! Most churches being Anglican and Roman Catholic, there are also some of Apostolic Faith, Baptist churches, Brethren, Christian Science, Church of Christ, Church of God, a Lutheran Church, Jehovah's Witnesses churches, a Jewish Synagogue, Pentecostal Churches, Evangelical, Presbyterian, Methodists and the list of different churches goes on and on, so if you haven't found the one holding your beliefs mentioned here just ask us, Bermuda almost surely has it. If you are looking for beautiful landmark churches there are 3 beautiful medieval ones to choose from, the oldest being the Anglican church of St Peter's, containing the oldest example of Bermudian woodwork existing today. Another beautiful and well preserved structure is the gothic Cathedral of the Most Holy with fabulous panoramic views overlooking Hamilton city. And if you've dreamed of getting married in magnificent abandoned ruins, you can have your wedding at The Unfinished Church, today a protected historic monument part of the St George's World Heritage Site.
For simply awe-inspiring weddings in natural surroundings Bermuda offers an amazing South Shore location where you can rejoice in your newly proclaimed love as the sun sets over the crystalline waters. You could even hire a boat to a deserted island and marry in the ruins of a deserted castle by the beach shore. The options are virtually endless with the wide array of beautiful Bermuda turquoise beaches and its miles of sparkling white sands...you and your lover will simply be spoilt for choice.
Bermuda is an island that likes to look after its rich vegetation in natural preserves and beautiful natural parks. If you've dreamed of tying the knot amidst lush greenery and blossoming flowers Bermuda offers you three beautiful gardens to choose from. Waterville Park stands just by the water's edge of Hamilton Harbour, in a spectacular setting, ideal for the most stunning weddings. Nestled among this park's lush grounds there is a lovely wedding gazebo surrounded by magnificent vegetation and illuminated by the island's ever shining sun. Another all-time favourite garden location for weddings is Bermuda's Botanical Gardens; an impressive stretch of 36 acres of wild paradisiacal beauty perfect for splendorous weddings amidst the delightful flora. With its blossoming orchids and hibiscus gardens, couples marrying here will also enjoy beautiful views of the lush green house plantations. And last but not least are the graceful Palm Grove Gardens, a private state opened to the public to offer lovers scenic views of a beautifully teamed piece of Mother Nature. These lovely manicured gardens also have a lively aviary with parrots and toucans plus a romantic moongate among citrus groves and breathtaking sea views. But these are not the only garden wedding options in Bermuda; we still have to mention the Par-La-Ville Gardens, a well-cared oasis right at the centre of Hamilton with benches, beautiful plants and romantic footpaths.
Harrington is a large and beautiful inland lake located at the northeast of Bermuda and surrounded by the main island on all sides. This is a unique and breathtaking setting for an exclusive wedding. Imagine getting wed in a beautifully adorned dock with hues of pure turquoise in the background and the soothing sound of the gentle breezes echoing your names in the distance. A unique and romantic place for couples looking for an exceptional gem of a wedding location.
If you want something other than a traditional wedding gazebo to get married under, and you are looking for that special something to add more meaning to your ceremony, then marrying under one of Bermuda's famous Moongates is the perfect option for you. Legend has it that couples who kiss under this wedding band shaped archways will find good fortune and happiness in the years ahead. This is especially true for lovers and honeymooners and is said to bring their relationship good luck and prosperity. This peculiar arch, from Chinese and Japanese origins is many centuries old and the first plan to have one in Bermuda was brought from a Chinese garden in the 1800s by a local sea captain. Since then it has become one of Bermuda's national symbols and many Moongates have flourished across the island's gardens to embellish the landscape and welcome lovers into their new lives together.
Owned by the Bermuda National trust the legendary Springfield mansion dating back to the 18th century is another favourite location for wedding ceremonies in Bermuda. Located in the quiet and peaceful Somerset Village, and surrounded by the beautiful Gilbert Nature Reserve, this is a one-of-a-kind location for a truly special wedding ceremony. Alternatively choose the 300 year old mansion of Verdmont, a top Collector's Hill in Smith's with sweeping views of the ocean and beautiful surrounding nature, yet another treasure to make your special day truly memorable. Both mansions are unique and exquisite; offering the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony, the reception and the dinner party.
Astwood Park is set looking over Astwood Cove; a small and intimate secluded beach bordered by steep cliffs. With these spectacular views, the park is a favourite venue for lush outdoor weddings. The park features picturesque picnic tables, parking spaces and toilets with a secret romantic path leading down to the cove for the couple's private sunset after-party.
Most of our resorts here in Bermuda offer beautiful wedding packages to suit all tastes and cater for all your wedding wishes. Many hotels offer you the choice of selecting between beautiful locations either inside or outside the resort, and several of these pre-packaged weddings are an excellent option for those minding a tight wedding budget. We guarantee you that in our hotels there is something to please all couples, whether you are looking for something intimate and simple or if you want your day to be as extravagantly luxurious as possible. We do certainly have it all!! Just browse through our lists of hotels and see the many easily customisable options available to make your wedding day truly special.

Rory, Here's a simple recipe for Toor dahl :rory wrote:please share your Jain recipes please! I'd love some:) I have my bottle of hing all ready & I'd love a chai recipe..please:)
I don't measure anything when i cook....but I'll attempt to guess by my eyeballing memory
I wash the Toor dahl several times in cold water...
say you want to cook for 4 people...
2 cups Toor dahl
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 tsp. hing
1 tsp. tumeric
2 Tbs. ghee
1 cup fresh cilantro/chopped
salt to taste (preferably Himalayan Salt)
red chili powder /to taste
1 Tbs. tomate paste /or 1 medium tomato (blend)
First cook Toor dahl (i use a pressure cooker, but you can cook conventionally ) Until dahl is soft/mushy
It takes about 10 minutes in pressure cooker/maybe 45 min conventionally
In separate pan :
Melt ghee
sizzle cumin seeds
add hing
add all other spices, except cilantro
add tomato paste or fresh/canned tomato (not to much)
Add spices/salt to cooked dahl
Add chopped cilantro last
I used to cook the ghee & spices then add dahl in same pot, then pressure cook, but the dahl dosn't cook as nice (it stays whole, instead of getting mushy cooked alone) I like it mushed...better texure...nice and smooth ...
Add as much hing or whatever spices you want to taste after mixing...
This is how i make chai:
1-2 cups water/boil
Lots of fresh ginger/grated
a few cardamon seeds/whole or ground with pestal or spice grinder
add tea (1 tsp per cup) (loose or bags) (Tajmahal /Liptons/Red Rose/whatever)
let boil few more seconds until nice brown color
you can add sugar (if using honey just put into cup)
add milk (2 cups), when tea boils (preferably whole) but 2% works too
when milk starts foaming to the top get off burner FAST !
Fan the top so it don't spill over .
Strain/if using loose tea
All this can be done in a very large kettle so you don't have to worry about it boiling over so much
I usually do it in a medium pan...and i gotta watch it like a hawk !
You can also just put EVERYTHING TOGETHER at once, and just bring to boil.
When i first started making chai i'd get so confused as to what goes next...then a nice Indian lady told me to just put everything together at once....and then that's what i did for a long time...until i got the knack of making it ...
I hope this works for you <3
emaho wrote: better to store my spices in something airtight to protect them from becoming bland.
Emaho..the spice box has an airtight cover But yeah...i used them up fast...so nothing sit's for too long.

Looking ahead, I found a September half marathon! The Brooklyn Narrows Half falls on September 15, a month before my marathon. This would be a good race to predict my marathon time. I'm going to do a little more research before I commit.
And finally, it looks like "Pointer" Toenail on my right foot is about to make her departure. I expect she'll be gone by the weekend. We've had some laughter and tears together over the years, but alas, it is time to bid adieu. Thanks for the memories, little one.

After three months' hard work, we finished a new order again. This is an unprecedented creative order, because it's the first time we try to make such a complicated and remarkable design. Thanks to our designers and weavers, their good cooperation make this come true. Finally, the order of 16 pieces Islamic prayer tapestries shipped to The Middle East this morning.
As you can see from the picture, the tapestry is really gorgeous and magnificent. Of course this is 100% hand knotted tapestry. Size is 7.5ft x 7.5ft, a square wall hanging tapestry for praying. The beautiful design is telling about the story of Islamic hadj, the holy pilgrimage place in Mecca. In the center of this tapestry, you can see the square black house, which is called "House of God". When praying, Muslims from all over the world would pray toward "House of God" in Mecca. In English, it's also called "Kaaba". This tapestry displays the main culture of Muslim world. Anyone who know about Islamic culture would enjoy and appreciate this tapestry much more.
Actually we make this nice islamic prayer tapestry according to Yilong Carpet customer's design. So if you want to make a customized tapestry or carpet, please do not hesitate to contact us. Usually we make Persian designs, Turkish designs, sometimes we make this kind of religious designs, and some other scenery designs. We can make the unique tapestry and carpet only for you!

The Imperial Hotel – 11 March 2015
With a particular sense of buzz and anticipation ahead of the Round 10 (rescheduled) away kick off with WSW, Melbourne City FC's Fan Representative Group came together at The Imperial Hotel – the first time the regular meetings have been scheduled at this venue – to openly discuss the culture of the Club which has instilled and developed throughout the duration of the season.
One of the first noteworthy comments was the keyword 'transition' which sums up the branding change from Melbourne Heart to Melbourne City FC and the feeling of the supporter base. Key to the discussion was the debate on the importance of winning now that the club has a new ownership, and the expectation that comes with the new resources at the club's disposal.
Further to this transition phase, fans are still trying to understand the new City brand. Questions such as 'Who are we?' and 'What do we stand for?' are surprisingly still being raised by the representative group at the back-end of Season 1 for Melbourne City FC, prompting greater efforts of Melbourne City to be rolled out in engaging members and new fans with the shared values and pillars of City Football Group (CFG). Members, supporters and prospects hence require clear visibility of the Club's stance, intended brand of football, community strategy and suggested 'brand book' in order to ensure culture of City is engrained leading forward.
The topic of CFG also raised further enquiry into the benefits globally. What opportunities are being shared to members such as tickets to Manchester matches and Etihad flight discounts just to name a few? One attendee proposed that Melbourne City uses this selling point to drive differentiation from other HAL clubs as to date the Club had not been doing anything significantly better in comparison.
In light of the CFG relationship and football in particular, the consensus of those in attendance at the FRG meeting is the perceived status of Melbourne City as a feeder club for MCFC & NYCFC merely being an option far down the ladder to play in Australia, or keep players fit (Villa / Lampard) prior to overseas seasons. It was agreed that the drive for Hyundai A-League success for Melbourne City FC was integral and needed to be transparent. Fans generally sense that the results to date for Melbourne City under the CFG influence have not translated with the increased resources available and one particular comment noted that 'the inconsistency of play is demoralising' in relation to player fitness, squad selection and standard of football on display.
JVS as coach was also openly discussed in regards to his media presence and how his statements reflect on the culture of Melbourne City as a Club and the underlying messages which are relayed to the general public. Fans recognised that JVS has only recently begun to accept responsibility for the team performance and average lack of results. Discussion further evolved to fans request for clearer visibility on HAL finals position objectives from the Club and whether the ethos of mediocracy into top 6 was enough to continue the drive forward. Should the club be communicating a stronger message and intention for a top 4 finish in future?
Positive feedback was shared on the Brian Marwood article published however, fans bought to attention the mention of a Manchester City player, James Horsfield, currently training with the Melbourne City squad and would prefer articles of interest be announced via the Club EDM.
On the topic of Club generated communication, fans also questioned the absence of a targeted marketing campaign. Previous Heart taglines including Believe were rolled out in various engaging concepts across interactions encouraging supporters of the Club to interpret and remain involved throughout the entire season. General understanding from the fan base is that #together was used unenthusiastically and inconsistently in City messaging and leading forward, an aligned campaign should continue digitally and physically in a stronger engagement capacity both online and on match-day.
Fan engagement initiatives and partner activations were further highlighted as more involving and present at AAMI Park for participants which the Club can credit as a positive step towards satisfaction of the match-day experience. Continuing to improve these aspects will no doubt increase the average crowd attendance which fans identify has recently been significantly lower than the beginning of season and in reflection can be attributed to team performance.
Interactions with juniors of the Club brand and match-day experience as a concentration for the Club to focus on in growing our member and supporter base was furthermore noteworthy as was maximising the value of a football specific home stadium.
Conversation at this point switched to the Asian Cup and accrued inventory of the player benches. Premium reserved members in the western stand have offered uplifting feedback on the aesthetics of the benches and thankfully not felt that their view of the match has been obscured since inception of the structures. The question was also raised as to whether it was the Asian Cup break in the middle of the HAL season which altered attendances and affected the momentum related to overall fan allegiances?
Kind regards
The FRG

Getting shipped across the country to find a millionaire husband and explore a new city may sound like an exciting adventure.
But not every aspect of the trip was as glamorous as it seems.
NYMag writer Maureen O'Connor was among 16 women chosen to participate in " Cross Country Love: Help Fly NYC Women to SF."
The five-day trip, which was crowdfunded via Crowdtilt, was thrown by Lauren Kay, the founder of dating startup The Dating Ring. The idea behind it is that Silicon Valley has become so dominated by wealthy men that it has caused a supply-demand imbalance. For some reason, this can only be solved by flying women from New York to San Francisco. Naturally, the concept is not without its flaws.
Nonetheless, women interested in attending the trip had the option of paying for different packages that include an allotted number of dates, admission to a cocktail party, flight and housing. These options range between $500 and $1,250.
The dating service was initially launched in New York City, but it expanded to San Fransisco after the startup was accepted into Y Combinator.
O'Connor detailed her experience in what at first appeared to be a college-style, five-day sorority retreat. She described bonding with the other ladies on the trip, attending swanky cocktail parties, making new friends, and meeting interesting men.
But things took a slightly darker turn toward the end of her narrative.
On the third day, O'Connor and the rest of the New York gang headed to a party thrown for the Crowdtilt benefactors.
"Some of the men at this party are more eccentric than those we received as matches," O'Connor recalls.
One programmer who donated several hundred dollars to the campaign compared the situation to giving money to a homeless person—implying that it was a demeaning act of pity.
He then criticized the online dating scene, saying that he prefers to "use reality" as his platform and began to touch O'Connor.
Here's how O'Connor described the rest of her experience at the party:
As the party grows, we become inundated with men. We are experiencing gender imbalance in the wild, and it is chaos. Every time I turn, there are men lined up waiting to deliver carefully rehearsed greetings or to initiate repartee.
The next day, O'Connor sought out some weed brownies for her and the rest of the ladies on the trip. By midnight, half of those girls ended up crying in the fetal position, with O'Connor comforting one of them by stroking her hair.
Kay's cross-country matchmaking endeavor had been met with criticism ever since the Crowdtilt campaign launched in March.
Valleywag likened the idea to the comfort women of "imperial Japan," and commenters under the promotional YouTube video slammed the idea. One commenter even called it "just plain embarrassing and gross."
Here's the promotional video that helped The Dating Ring raise more than $10,000. Check out O'Connor's detailed account for the full story.

I fussy cut the flowers and used them to frame the wonderful verse from Peaceful Peonies. I layered a few die cuts and used a beautiful black shimmery two toned cardstock called Nero Incandescent to go along with the metallic tones on the images. (This is one of the most beautiful papers I've worked with.) I added a few touches of beige here and there to make the sentiment pop and tie all the monochromatic layers together. I love the result, but I'm sure this card wouldn't have been the same without these beautiful stamps!

Over the forthcoming month of February 2011 I shall be in Thailand, so posts might become a bit spasmodic for that period of time. I will however be doing my best to keep them coming from various internet cafe's around Thailand. One thing for sure is there will be a shortage of photos in the posts over the month of February 2011, but I will update with photos when back in the UK.
Over the last couple of years I have taken up the challenge of reading more Thai script novels to improve my Thai language ability and missed out on a lot of English written novels about the region of South east Asia. I will make a concerted effort to read some of the latest stuff from the latest movers and shakers in the fiction world of the area. In fact I first need to re acquaint myself with who the movers and shakers are at the moment.
I never talk about anything I haven't read, but have a list of books to buy and read whilst in Thailand. This can be difficult as I will be doing a lot of research and writing over there myself. I plan also to continue my Thai script reading. I have had some great tips from Susan Fulop Kepner on products to get, Susan translated one of my favourite books " Letters from Thailand" and I will pick up a copy of "The Lioness in bloom" this time as well.
Next stop Bangkok
I also intend to pick up some of the work by author Tim Hallinan an American who splits his time between the States and Southeast Asia, in particular Thailand. Published work of Tim's include "A nail through the heart", "The Fourth Watcher" (apparently this is a very popular novel), "Breathing Water" and "The Queen of Patpong". I am looking forward to reading some of Tim's work.
Finally and of course I shall also be checking out further books of one of my favourite authors Christopher G. Moore, having seen Christopher's books on the book shelves in Thailand for many years.
I have in fact just finished a novel by Christopher G. Moore called "Waiting For The Lady" a thoroughly enjoyable read and another classic from a very talented writer. Christopher seems to average a book a year for the 22 years he has lived in Thailand and that is some achievement. Time is split between half the year researching for the book and the other half writing it.
China Town Bangkok
Waiting for the lady is in actual fact is based in Burma (or of course now Myanmar). Perhaps I struggle with change as Burma still sounds so much better to me or it could be an age thing. The novel is full of passion, very amusing in places and sometimes sad, but never dull.
I want to pick up more on the cultural aspect of the book, rather than the story line. However the story line is based around two old friends called Sloan and Hart, an Artist and a Writer/Pool room hustler of Bangkok bars going to Burma to carry out a promise made to return some photos strangely found by Sloan to a lady. In between they hope to create a fortune by uncovering ming china and are joined by Sarah a lady writing a PHD on body tattoos of the chin people.
Politics of the area, but not too heavy, history of the area, the right amount to be informed and some fantastic childhood reflections and walks down memory lane from the main characters.
Having spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia myself I especially enjoy the way Christopher Moore blends the different cultures and characters in the book. It is his knowledge of the region and the regions cultures that keep me enthralled throughout. Although set in Burma, you get insights in to the cultures of the Burmese, the Thai, the Japanese, the Americans and the British.
The usual Sukhumvit Road traffic jam Bangkok
Being an English man and having been married to a Thai woman for 100 years, I mean 24 years, I love those cross cultural break down moments and believe me they can happen in an instant. Christopher Moore has always had the knack of capturing them superbly.
The sort of thing I am referring to is the Westerner flying off the handle then wishing he had not. One of my favourite parts that left me roaring with laughter, because I could relate to it so well was when Sloan married to a Japanese woman arrives home with loads of shopping. Sloan the American loved to do the cooking and dutifully with warmth in his heart ventures out to get all the ingredients required to cook for himself and his wife.
Sloan returns and gets out of the taxi with bags full of shopping and sweating profusely from the weight of them. Sweating and completely loaded up makes several attempts to get the keys in the door and turn it. Finally he gets in the door and is told by his wife to remove his shoes before venturing in as this is Thailand. Sloan explains that the bags are heavy dear, I am sweating and obviously looking for his wife to over ride this very cherished tradition on this occasion. His wife is having none of it and still insists that shoes are removed. It is at this point you either do as requested and life will sail on smoothly or you flip. Sloan aims a kick at the oscillating fan and frightens the hell out of the dog and it all ends very messy in deed. This of course leads to the evening being ruined, that magic moment between a man and a woman turned in to a non speaking, backs to each other in bed situation.
Sukhumvit Road Bangkok:
The problem for us men in general is that we can have a 10 minute fit and forget about it, but you can be darn sure the lady will carry it on a lot longer, if not very apologetic an Asian lady can take it to the grave. With me it's always a "why did I do that reflection". Christopher Moore captures these moments brilliantly and others in Waiting for the lady. In fact he captures these moments brilliantly in all of his work.
If you have an affection for the Southeast Asian region and enjoy a good novel, especially a novel that really brings the characters to life, then I highly recommend "Waiting for the lady", in fact I highly recommend it to anyone.

The Folsom culture, also called Lindenmeier culture, developed around 9000BC in North America after Clovis culture. The evidences of this culture were first excavated from the Folsom city, New Mexico in 1926. The archeological evidence suggest that these people used to live throughout the Great Plains of US from Texas to Montana. These people were mostly known for their stone tools like 'Folsom Point'. The Folsom people were the first people known in the history of US who developed the method of group hunting by surrounding and killing animals.
The archeological sites in Hanson, Wyoming suggest that these people used to kill as many as 50 Bison and whole community used to feed on it. The most famous Folsom site is Lindenmeier which is in the north eastern Larimer county, Colarado, United States. This site was discovered in the year 1924. The site is mostly famous for its Folsom component and Folsom culture campsite. It is made a national historic landmark in US in the year 1961.
These people quickly adapted to the climatic changes and within few years developed a whole system of using resource, weapon system and extraordinary hunting system. It is widely believed that these people modified the weapon system of Clovis people. The weapons were much more sharp and were used to kill the Wild Bison which were spread throughout the great grasslands. These people were the first who started using spear thrower weapon in America.
These people were mostly nomads and there settlement was seasonal. There are also certain evidence that these people were having religious belief and ideas. There is notion that these people used to do medical ceremonies and certain fire based religious rituals.
The climate change produced a significant change in their pattern of living. As the Ice age ended soon the American continent started warming up thus promoting growth of grass . As the Mammoth population disappeared, the population of bison herds gradually increased, thus changing their hunting trends and method of making weapon.
It is not clear what was the ultimate fate of Folsom Culture, although it is supposed that a long lasting drought made them to shift further downwards towards Central American around 6000 BC.

Will the Atomic Multi-Vector Course of Ukraine Influence the International Uranium Enrichment Centre?
After much thought Ukraine has finally decided to join the International Uranium Enrichment Centre (IUEC), established in 2007 by Russia and Kazakhstan on the basis of the Angarsk Electrolytic Chemical Combine in Irkutsk region. On February 9th Vladimir Putin authorized Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to exchange notes between Governments of the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on the participation of Ukraine within the IUEC. For Russia this is a start of an important project that promotes its regional and international significance within energy sphere, as the IUEC should assure dual objective: to strengthen the regime of nuclear weapon nonproliferation and to guarantee the availability of the "peaceful" nuclear fuel cycle to the consuming countries. The success of this project mainly depends on the ability of its participants to combine their interest in harmony and proportion.
Apparently, the Government of Ukraine in this discrete moment has come to a conclusion that the participation within IUEC promotes energy sovereignty that is of principal priority as stated the Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko on February 10th. The participation within the project will give Ukraine an opportunity to enrich uranium in Angarsk for the needs of its nuclear power industry that comprises about 50% of Ukrainian energy reserves. Today the fuel for Ukrainian nuclear power plants is supplied by Russia, and Ukraine strives to reduce its dominance within Ukrainian nuclear fuel market.
Ukraine intends to gain the same share in the IUEC as Kazakhstan, i.e. 10%. Considering post-Soviet history of the interrelations of Russia and Ukraine in the sphere of energy, particularly in nuclear fuel supplies, the presence of Ukraine in the IEUC can produce another intrigue into the activity of the Angarsk centre, that will become a field for geopolitical battles for sure.
Ukrainian nuclear fuel market is extremely politicized on international and internal levels, in addition it is so predictable as the situation with gas supplies to and through Ukraine.
Recently Ukraine has tried to mitigate Moscow with nuclear ostracism, demonstrating its ability to attract fuel supplies for Ukrainian NPPs of the American company Westinghouse, despite its economic and safety invalidity. Firstly, American fuel will be more expensive than its Russian analogue, secondly its has been already proved with Czech and Finnish NPPs that it's insecure to use American fuel in soviet nuclear reactors due to technologic reasons.
Except for this diversifying compound, the situation of Ukrainian nuclear industry balances together with the Party line, i.e. greatly depends on constantly changing political powers configuration. Within this context the story of "Ukratomprom" establishment appears to be illustratory. In December 2006 the Cabinet of Ministers of Viktor Yanukovich issued a resolution on the establishment of the State Company "Ukratomprom" that was consequently closed down in December 2007. In spring of 2008, after "Ukratomprom" liquidation a new State Company "Nuclear Fuel of Ukraine" was founded on its basis. This new company will join the IUEC.
One can assume that these factors of instability will be imported into the IUEC to some extent, after Ukraine gains the 10% share of the enterprise. And instability – is always an issue of who will use and manage it.
The slogans of uranium enrichment depoliticization by the IUEC establishment are in general a cover, as the IUEC possesses too great potential of geopolitical influence and hardly this energy lever won't be used in non-energy issues.
In general, Ukraine may become a Western influential agent within the IUEC. Mentioned instability can be omitted and then used if needed, for example against strengthening of Russia in the CIS through nuclear power. And the IUEC is a real mechanism of the expansion of Russia's influence within this area, as it is a new field for interaction of the CIS countries in practice: successful operation of the IUEC depends on the ability of raw materials provision and on the quantity of Parties consuming enriched uranium. Russia needs to promote its cooperation with Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kirgizia in the sphere of uranium production, considering that Central Asia suffers from energy deficit; so the construction of NPP in this region is urgent.
In the given case it's not about the necessity of refusal of the cooperation with Ukraine within the kind of natural enterprise as the IUEC, as Ukraine together with Kazakhstan and Russia is an inheritor of the Ministry of Medium Machine Building, and the integral as known is bigger than the sum of its parts. But nevertheless Russia needs to develop mechanisms that would secure it from inadequate steps of its partners, that can cover with the back of their Western masters, speculating on "little and beautiful democracy".

A WOMAN has been rescued by lifeboat volunteers as she clung to a sailing dinghy in the Firth of Forth at the weekend.
The woman was with two other people on the small vessel, one of them a nine-year-old girl, when it got into difficulty sailing south of Inchkeith Island on Saturday morning.
They called for help with an onboard VHF radio and the Kinghorn RNLI Lifeboat set out just before 10:30am and reached the dinghy within seven minutes. The woman, from West Lothian, had fallen overboard and was clinging to the stern of the boat.
She was helped out of the water into the lifeboat, as was the nine-year-old, and both were assessed at an ambulance on shore. The woman, said to be in her 20s, was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy to be checked out.

The third individual, a man in his 30s from Portobello, was uninjured and was escorted back to shore. Lifeboat helmsman Scott McIlravie, one of five volunteers who came to the rescue, said: "Communications were difficult, although they thankfully had a VHF radio on board so we were able to use our direction finding equipment to locate the boat around half a mile south of the island.
"We quickly assessed the situation on arrival and found a female in the water clinging to the back of the dinghy. One of our team jumped into the water to get hold of her, and she was then brought to safety on the lifeboat.
"The second crew member on the boat was a young girl and she was also taken on to the lifeboat to be taken back to Kinghorn where an ambulance was waiting to assess both casualties.
"Both casualties were cold and distressed, with the woman suffering from the early stages of hypothermia. The sailing dinghy then made its way back towards Portobello, escorted back, for safety, by a Police Scotland boat which was working in the area."
He added: "It was fortunate that this vessel had a VHF radio on board today. There was very little chance that the woman would have got back on board the dinghy today without assistance. Since the vessel was able to call for assistance immediately, and we were then able to find the boat quickly, this lady fortunately had a very lucky escape."
Mr McIllravie said they recommend prior to any trip that the weather forecast is checked and that everyone has the correct level of experience for the conditions and the correct type of properly fitting protective clothing.
The RNLI has recently launched a campaign called "Respect The Water" aimed at reducing the number of drownings and fatalities around the UK coast.

I had a dream last night that the new movie Don Jon is really a zombie romance movie.
Hmmm. I wonder of that would make it a better film. Then again, any movie with Scarlett Johansson can't go wrong. And add to that a brawlin' Joseph Gordon-Levitt and maybe a blockbuster is in the making.
I think Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 80% positive rating. Did I read that right?
What do you all think? Should the movie be about zombies or keep it as is?

Social media: the boundary between personal and professional
- 13 July, 2012 14:04
The value of personal data is often underestimated by the general public; the risks are commonly ignored on social media sites, especially by those in their teens or twenties.
On the positive side, building an online profile, such as through sites like LinkedIn or Twitter, has become an important strategy in increasing popularity and employability.
A negative is that of increasing accountability for all actions, even those outside of your professional life. Businesses are becoming increasingly aware of social media in their hiring processes and will search for employees online before offering positions. This is where the link between your personal and professional social profiles can overlap in damaging ways.
There are many ways in which a public profile can be a positive, in which a person needs to take the risk of making data public. If I want companies to approach me with job offers, I need parts of my LinkedIn profile to be made public. If I want to sell music or writing, I need to build a public profile to increase awareness of my new works. If I want to advertise my small business, I need to tell potential clients where to find me or how to contact me.
This is the value of public data to its originator. In professional circles, you want as many people to know as much of you and your ability as possible. However there is another side to public data, one that blurs as the boundary between personal and professional profiles disappears.
There has been considerable research and insight into what is made public via social media sites like Facebook or Twitter. While a single personal profile made public can be damaging to one person (consider how your public information could benefit an interested stalker), a multitude of public profiles can tell us much more. Data aggregation and pattern finding can be very effective in these cases.
Recent examples of the dangers of data aggregation include the "Girls around me" app and the "We know what you're doing" website show the danger of weak privacy settings combined with public profiles. In the "Girls around me" app (now withdrawn), public Facebook and FourSquare postings were aggregated and combined to tell you which girls (or guys) are near you, what their likes and dislikes are, and where they are right now. Such information is dangerous in the wrong hands, but easily available online. All this app did was create an easy to use interface.
In the "We know what you're doing" website, public Facebook postings are searched through for patterns, such as mentioning your "boss". One category, titled "who wants to get fired today?" showed people publicly complaining about their boss or job. In many cases for both of these examples, it is expected that the person doesn't know this information is publicly available and probably doesn't want it to be.
This problem isn't just restricted to personal privacy either. With public postings made available, sentiment by employees of companies can be tracked and analysed to determine how effectively a company is running. A common strategy to stop this kind of behaviour is to prohibit the mentioning of a workplace on social media. This strategy is often unpopular with staff, as it is seen as crossing the personal/professional boundary.
I would argue that anytime a person posts publicly, this boundary has already been crossed, and that people must differentiate between their personal profiles and their professional profiles. If we take the stance that professional profiles need to be public, then personal profiles need to be as private as possible.
Given the ever-increasing overlap between personal and professional lives, how can we properly manage this separation? Is it possible to keep a clear distinction between the two on the internet, particularly in social media?

A time-traveling family heads to the dinosaur age to save Earth. Pan Am stewardesses and Playboy bunnies relive the '60s, while that era's prisoners of Alcatraz reappear in the present day.
These are just a few of the out-there premises among the 81 pilots vying for a handful of spots on next fall's network TV lineups. After a sleepy 2010-2011 season that has taken few risks - and yielded fewer hits - programmers are simultaneously ginning up more escapist eye candy and more ambitious fare for fall.
Last year, "the networks were being very conservative and were going for standard meat-and-potatoes fare; they were just trying to get back to basics," says Carolyn Finger, president of TVtracker.com, which monitors development trends. The resulting "lackluster season" has been "respectable, but there's nothing that's in the zeitgeist," she says. "They have to have stuff that gets people excited."
Networks' risk tolerance tends to flow in cycles and often is a direct result of their competitive position. ABC was in the tank in the ratings in 2004 when it rolled the dice on groundbreaking mystery Lost and comic soap Desperate Housewives.
This season, all four major networks have lost some audience, and new shows drawing respectable crowds, such as CBS' Hawaii Five-0, aren't generating much excitement.
NBC and ABC - each with new top programming executives - are most aggressive in courting concepts outside the traditional cops, docs and courtrooms.
NBC has Grimm, a cop drama with characters "inspired" by fairy tales, and REM, an Inception-style story about a detective with parallel lives following a deadly car accident. ABC might try Poe, in which the author is an investigative reporter helping to solve crimes, and Once Upon a Time, another fairy-tale-inspired series.
"We are looking to take some risks and be louder and more provocative," says ABC development chief Suzanne Patmore-Gibbs. "We're looking at what put us on the map."
Fox is mulling Alcatraz, a crime drama from Lost producer J.J. Abrams, and has already ordered Terra Nova, a big-budget Steven Spielberg production in which a family travels back to the dinosaur age to save future Earth. It was originally supposed to premiere in May; a delay until fall was blamed on the elaborate special effects.
It's all part of a network development process, beginning each fall, in which pitches lead to script deals and, for some, sample episodes. Those are screened by networks, tested with focus groups and weighed against current on-the-fence series, all vying for slots on the fall schedules that will be announced in mid-May.
Of course, many of these seemingly risky bets won't ever make it to the TV screen; only about one in four pilots do. And those that do make the cut have an even smaller shot at success - just look at ABC's fanciful Pushing Daisies, CBS' short-lived musical Viva Laughlin and last fall's biggest bomb, Fox's Lone Star, about a con man living a double life.
But analysts say competition from edgier cable fare and the continued erosion of network audiences compels them to reach outside their safety zones.
Other trends:
— Period dramas. Many of the riskiest projects include period dramas, including Poe and Reconstruction, which follows the post-Civil War resettlement of a soldier. NBC's Playboy returns to the long-shuttered Chicago club, its bunnies and colorful customers; ABC's soapy Pan Am tackles the same era's stewardesses and pilots in the Jet Age. "It's Mad Men for the masses," says Patmore-Gibbs, and speaks to ABC's target demographic by "looking at that historical context from a female perspective."
— Familiar faces. Networks aren't just embracing riskier concepts to get viewers' attention. Familiar faces from former TV hits remain in demand, even if their recent track records are spotty. Tim Allen might return to ABC with his first series since Home Improvement, in a comedy about a man surviving in a world dominated by women. Kiefer Sutherland, Debra Messing, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Applegate, Jenna Elfman, Minnie Driver, Heather Locklear and Damon Wayans also have bagged lead roles in pilots. So have Michael Chiklis and Jimmy Smits, fresh off failures this season (No Ordinary Family and Outlaw, respectively).
And hello, Betty White! Actors of a certain age are in demand: Don Johnson plays a celebrity hairstylist in NBC's A Mann's World; Christine Lahti joins her family's medical practice in CBS' The Doctors; Annie Potts is among the Dallas clan in sure-to-be-retitled ABC soap Good Christian Bitches. And 1980s stars Cybill Shepherd and Judith Light play grandmas on proposed ABC family sitcoms.
— More laughs. Everyone's looking for comedy after a season that saw plenty of whiffs and only one new hit - CBS' Mike & Molly - which was helped greatly by having a now Sheen-less Two and a Half Men as its lead-in. Chalk up the lack of Modern Family and The Middle wannabes to the lag time in television development and a "super-frustrating" lack of pitches, says Patmore-Gibbs.
This year, there are plenty of multigenerational contenders in the works, and not just on ABC, which hopes to add an hour of laughs on a new night. NBC wants to expand its stable of arch workplace comedies with more centered on relationships, while CBS is heading in the opposite direction, eyeing contenders about employees of a venture-capital firm, a sports-radio show and a celebrity couple.
For sitcoms in particular, the potential rewards are great. Fewer hits have left a void in the lucrative syndication market, leaving local stations to depend more heavily on long-canceled series such as Seinfeld and Friends. Next fall, only CBS' The Big Bang Theory will enter the rerun market.
— Remakes. Networks are fond of freshening well-known TV shows or movies with easily promoted updates (Hawaii Five-0 and 90210), and this pilot season is no exception. ABC has relocated Charlie's Angels to Miami, where Robert Wagner is the unseen boss. NBC is looking at an update of Wonder Woman (now sporting skintight long pants), produced by David E. Kelley, and a long-gestating remake of British detective series Prime Suspect.
Fox has already picked up an animated spinoff of Napoleon Dynamite, featuring the voices of the cult film's original cast. And the network has next season's only potential spinoff in The Finder, featuring a character to be introduced on Bones in the April 21 episode.
TV pilots: No risk, no reward

I was away this weekend visiting a part of England which was famous for its wool mills. I was expecting to see some shops at least which would reflect its history but I didn't find any. However look what I found. These beautiful ceramic buttons in Cirencester whose Council is promoting various art and craft programmes. We stayed in a little village called Blockley, which was unspoilt. As you can see the streets were devoid of traffic and there was no commercialisation at all. It was all peaceful and a good get away to relax.

In memory of dad
You know sometimes one feels like doing things even if they are not good at it. So it is with me. I felt like doing this collage out of some of the music sheets of dad's. As you know I am not good at this kind of art and yet I had to do it so this is what came out of my heart in memory of my dad...
I used a few bits from his music sheets which were falling apart and some I photo copied. So the collage has his favourite composers names in that cover on the far right. At the bottom 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring' that was his favourite piece so I put that at the bottom then I added some dry flowers for rememberance and a sketch of a piano since he was a pianist. Then doodled some music notations. I actually started out with just two colours but soon realised that it would look very dull so I added other colours to make it look a bit more vibrant.

Last Treasures
These are some of the last remaining treasures of my dad. He was a musician and also an avid collector of piano music. Most of his books were donated to the Army school of music where he worked. But a few were left over since they were very old and not in good condition. I decided to bring some of them with me as memerobilia of my dad. I have several sheet music whose pages are lost or torn or just deteriorated with age. I am hoping to do something with some of them so that I can keep them as a keep sake. But these treasures I think I will keep them as they are and try and preseve them. As far as I know I think they are complete but not sure as I don't read music. I will have to find out how I can preserve them from someone who is an expert in these things.

Trail Leader or Command Leader?
Rich and I went on a short anniversary trip to Fairbanks this month, enjoying the beauty of the nearby Chena Hot Springs as well. While we were there, we signed up for a tour of Chena Dog Kennel, home to both retired and up-and-coming sled dogs as well as ones who love the trail, but just aren't fast enough for the elite dog mushers.
We didn't tour the kennels too much. We were too busy enjoying the pup he brought indoors for us to play with and peppering him with a million questions. We loved it.
(Rich is on the left, our tour guide on the right)
It wasn't even a spiritual conversation. Our tour guide didn't mean to cut my soul to the quick during our "tour." But he did.
He shared how there are two types of lead dogs: Command Leaders and Trail Leaders.
Trail Leader dogs know the trail so well they could lead the dog team without the musher. They don't get lost. They don't run off. They are trustworthy. They know their job and do it with alacrity and joy.
Command Leader dogs have that same alacrity and joy, but they may or may not know the trail, or they may be entirely off-trail. It doesn't matter. They listen for their musher's voice and respond. They can be trusted wherever the musher takes them.
It makes me think of parenting. What parent wants their kid to be one who is just along for the run, pulling their weight? Who even wants their child to be a leader, but one who simply runs the trail correctly? A wise parent wants their child to be Command Leader, attuned to the values and morals they were taught, so that no matter what the trail of life brings them, they can respond with alacrity and joy.
Since when has the trail of life ever been simple and unchanging, anyway?
And what about my spiritual life? Am I a Trail Leader or a Command Leader?
Do I check off all the Christian boxes? Church attendance, check. Read Bible daily, check. Pray before a meal, check. Run the trail as usual, check.
Or do I feel safe when God leads me off the trail into glorious, beautiful, mysterious parts unknown, because I am attuned to His voice?
John 10:27 "My (dogs) listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." — Jesus refers to us as sheep, not dogs, but the point is the same, lol.
Psalm 143:8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. —uh, Who else would we trust but our Creator?
May God lead you off the trail into glorious, beautiful, mysterious parts unknown as you listen to His voice!
PS. As an aside, life is like dog mushing…a leader is not the one in charge. The Musher is, as in Jesus Christ. Life is also NOT like dog mushing…a leader is not necessarily the one out front. There are many ways to be a leader and impact the world for good other than being out front.
PSS. After our "tour," which lasted longer than expected as we asked question after question, we were invited to watch them prepare the dogs to take some tourists on a run. To keep the dogs healthy and engaged, they do this on wheeled carts year-round, even without snow. Rich was petting one of the dogs when she was not "chosen"—don't feel sorry for her; her turn eventually came. The poor, silly thing literally climbed up Rich and began whining. These dogs LOVE to run.

Add St. Paul, Minn., to the list of cities where fast-food workers are clamoring for a $15-per-hour minimum wage.
The Pioneer Press reported that fast-food workers and community allies rallied for a strike on Labor Day. U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison attended, along with mayoral candidates and members of City Council.
"The CEO of McDonald's is making $9,000 an hour and can probably afford to get by on $6,000 an hour," Ellison said.
That's flawed logic. And it's a poor argument for increasing the minimum wage, which at present stands at $7.75 for small employers and $9.50 for large employers in Minnesota and $7.25 in North Dakota.
Actually, both of those minimum wage rates are too low and should be raised. But they should be increased in small increments over time and not via strong-arm tactics.
Not everybody deserves $15 per hour. Certain jobs — and certain workers — simply aren't worth it. Beyond that, there are many reasons to go slow with large wage increases.
Doubling the minimum wage will result in lost jobs. Both sides of the argument can produce data to back their case, but there is one overriding fact: Businesses will have to find the dollars somewhere, and it often will be by cutting jobs. Fast-food restaurants already are automating positions such as order-takers at drive-up windows.
Consumers will be affected because higher prices are inevitable. Inflation will catch up and harm the lowest wage earners who, in this case, will be those $15-per-hour employees.
It is not fair to business owners, who suddenly and permanently will have to greatly increase their expenses. Ellison shrugs and says the McDonald's CEO can afford it, but what about the owner of a small, single restaurant?
Meanwhile, raising the minimum wage will mean a corresponding increase in pay for skilled workers, who deserve more pay than those with few skills and no degree. That's another burden for business owners.
Raising the minimum wage could decrease Americans' desire for higher education. The best way to ensure a living wage is to earn a degree. It's OK that some choose not to receive special skills training, but they shouldn't be subsidized by business owners for their decision.
Many part-time jobs are seasonal or held by teens. Businesses shouldn't be forced to pay $15 an hour to a 17-year-old busboy.
The solution?
Make steady and fair increases to minimum wage over time, and let the market—not angry mobs—dictate salaries. If more is needed, then expand aid to low-income earners via programs like Earned Income Tax Credits, which provide a credit for every dollar earned by a worker in a low-income household. In effect, the EITC is a wage subsidy, and as the worker's wage increases, the credit becomes smaller. Of course, expansion of EITC is on the backs of taxpayers, so the appetite may not exist.
But it would be fair — and it wouldn't place the burden of a higher standard of living on the backs of business owners.
