I did take pictures of my new LV Gamble Necklace, I really like it.
Can't wait to wear it for luck the next time I roll the dice.
My first pair were the Monogram Heart Earrings in the Purple Enamel...and then they decided to release a pink version. The nerve! Good think purple is my favorite color..but then again..I like pink too. Who doesn't?!
Their fashion jewelry is hard to shop for in stores, they have random pieces at random stores. I dislike the hunt & find game.
It's now $405 on the website but currently sold out. LV is weird I tell ya..they raise and lower their prices every blue moon. I remember the first time I noticed this was when Minh bought his wallet. We got it for $405 (Damier Graphite Multiple), and then when we went to Portland's LV store it was only $395. I stalk the website almost everyday so I notice price changes. Not that it matters..b/c I'm not buying but I like to browse the website for fun. I get excited every time there's a new main page ad.
In Arrow Law Group news, everything is running smoothly. They have all their furniture, and clients are starting to pour in. I have my own space, which I rarely even work in! I'm always in one of the guy's offices planning out my work, and chit chatting. I forgot what it's like to have someone to talk to during the 9-5 hours of the day. I spend more time in the office talking to Sam than I do with Minh. When Minh's in his suit, he's more of the "serious" leave me alone type. I don't get intimidated or anything, but I don't see him the same. He's one of those people who completely changes at work. Which is good, work is work, and being a goofball after 6pm is completely acceptable.
I'm kind of starting to feel weird not to be dressed up in the office (since I'm hidden in the back). The partners don't ask me to..but sometimes I get caught off guard and run into a client, or salesman, real estate agent, etc. I feel bad b/c I care a lot of about giving off a good impressions in the office for them even though I'm not affiliated.
I was so self conscious today that I didn't even want to go eat at a nice place for lunch b/c I felt out of place because they're both in suits. They both were like whatever, it's lunch! We went to Capital Grille since Sam's never been, and we had to have him try the truffle fries. It's still restaurant week so we're trying to hit up the nice places lol. I did love their carrot & ginger soup. It was SO good. Anyhow..I can see why most work places require a dress code. It makes me feel less important when I'm not wearing clothes on "their level." I guess I'll start dressing better when I go in..or just stay hidden and work. Oh, the self-esteem issues.
Sam on the other hand is more laid back than Minh at work. I know he'd rather be in jeans than a suit haha. Minh is Mr. I NEED A SUIT AND TIE OR I WILL DIE. Sam and I even walk next door to go shopping at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's kind of sweet that our building is attached to a nice BBB, it even sells toothpaste and contact solution! I hope I don't overspend time with both Minh and Sam.
We're all going to be part of each other's lives for the next few years by lease lol. 4 full years! If all this work out the way we plan, Minh and my child will marry Sam and his future wife's child. So we'll all be family. jk, but I did bring it up. And for some reason, they both gave me this weird look..hmm maybe guys don't think the same way we do, huh? :P
I can't help but love to weird out Minh, and Sam.
I took an interpersonal relationships course during college which I talked about before.
The author of the book, and also my former professor at MSU found my blog post about him, and sent me a signed copy of the updated edition last year. : )
My professor and his wife (also professor) are geniuses!
I loveee to use what I learned. Knowledge is power.
So..I suggest you read up on interpersonal relationship..it saves your life SO much drama.
It also explains why some girls get so attached to guys..when guys could care less about them..and treat them like trash...and how a girl should never break up with a guy..but to slowly make the guy dislike her and break up with her so he feels like he's in control..yada yada yada..I'm sure if a lot of women's lives would be saved..if they knew how crazy a man can get if she ever broke his heart. (I'm talking way too much about this right now, but I can't help it because it's a topic I could read and study for the rest of my life). I remember reading that a guy will go to extremes to try to win back a girl who broke his heart..by extremes I mean KILL her. It happened in my family..of course I've never met this relative..but she (my relative) broke up with her bf..he tried to win her back..she found someone else and was happy with life. The guy told her how much he loved her and just wanted to see her one last time..and so she did. He hugged her and they both blew up. Yeah..that stuff happens..
Anyhow..I might have to go back and delete that story later, not to creep anyone out.
But yeah. Also, emotional abuse, and domestic violence happens also when you marry the wrong person. Women should never marry men who loves her less than he loves her.
Women who marry men who don't love them as much usually always fail on her part (emotionally, etc).
The happiest relationships are in the ones where the man loves the woman more than she does for him. Love is never 100% equal. It's hard for you to probably believe me, but I'm just reciting what I learned about the balance of power.
THE MOST IMPORTANT: Women can learn to love (since we're nurturing, caring, etc by nature). Men cannot.
It's in your favor to play it safe (literally) lol and date and marry the nice guy, and not that "bad boy."
I drive Minh nuts most of the time when I talk about the balance of power. He's skeptic on 75% of factual knowledge that comes out of my mouth. He's has to witness it or learn it on his own time to believe it. It's the lawyer in him. Anyhow, I have a lot of pride issues, and I always fight to be dominant because I want our relationship to work! :D jk jk
But interpersonal relationship studies is very fascinating. If you have a chance to take it in college as an elective, I suggest you go for it. It has changed the way I see life, and has helped me get over any hurt feelings I've ever had.
But now back to..the guys at Arrow Law Group : )
The best bankruptcy law firm in my opinion!
Also, Minh recently started a blog where he writes about law related topics.
I really like the way he writes, I always have...and not saying that because we're together.
I hope his partners start writing on the blog as well. It's free knowledge!
They charge $250/hr if you prefer to hire them hourly. There are different ways law firms bill clients. I just really noticed it as of lately.
(Most Seattle attorneys charge $300/hr..or so others have informed us!) lol
I recall in Michigan, it's usually $250/hour for an attorney's time on certain cases.
Minh likes to total up my "bill" whenever he does work for DSK Jewelry. It's kind of annoying. It's like a joke, but not really ..making you feel like you owe them feeling...can't stand that!
Anyhow some cases are flat fee, for example Bankruptcy (ch. 7 around $1-2k), ch. 13 around $3-4k) per case/client. And the famous ch. 11 (what businesses file..start around $25k/case).
I should suggest to Minh to write about the different kind of Bankruptcies. I know you may already know the difference, but for those who don't know, I think it will be very beneficial for them.
We met this guy at the phone store who helped us (don't want to give too much detail), and he was telling us how he got in a car accident without insurance and now needs to file bankruptcy..he goes I need a Chapter 13 or something since he doesn't own a home, and doesn't make more than x amount in annual income. What he really is looking for is Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is for those who make over x amount in income, and are looking to reorganize their debts, and to save their homes.
Can you see why it might be lucrative to go to law school? My future kids are either going to be doctors or lawyers!!! (don't I sound like your typical Asian parent? well..I will be one someday!) jk. Kids, do what you want..just make it legal. ..haha as in not illegal not a legal career). :D
So anyways..whatever comes out of their minds when it comes to their fields of expertise, I indulge!
They don't just do bankruptcy, but Minh and one of the other partners has a lot of bankruptcy law experience, so they advertise that field more so than others. But they also handle personal injury, tenant/landlord disputes, property law, and so on. Each attorney working at the cases he knows best, which makes sense. I'm learning something new everyday in the office from the guys.
I've been decorating the office with lots of candy (it makes the office feel much more inviting in my opinion, plus visitors appreciate it!) and orchids. :D I'm still looking to gift them with some more plants! I walk over to their office almost everyday to catch lunch and / or dinner with the guys. There's actually 3 attorneys, but the 3rd, she only comes in on Saturdays.
I really like their partner because she has a passion for art, and really appreciates what I do. It makes me feel really good when someone like her praises me and gets excited when I tell her about this great bracelet I'm working on ^_^. She's also older than Sam (29)& Minh (27)..old enough to be their mom lol. She always thinks that's so funny.
I will most likely be having my jewelry on display at their office in the next month or so.
DSK pieces will definitely be on display in an artsy kind of way. Sam and I have been looking at different jewelry trees for the display. Everyone I know and their mom has been telling me about the cast iron jewelry tree from Costco. lol. I appreciate their thoughtfulness : ) It makes me feel loved!
Now that I have bored you with a lot of text.
I want to share a few items I think are just flat out gorgeous.
I don't think I will ever own them, but I can like them right?
Oh, the freedom of online browsing.
Leopard print is everywhere this Fall. I had the most amazing pair of leopard print flats that I bought for $5 in college. That's where my love for leopard print shoes kicked into gear.
It's definitely one of those shoes you like, but not on you. Do you know what I mean?
Sometimes, I find things I'm super attracted to, but I do not want them for myself.
If I had endless amounts of money, I'd buy all the things that catch my eyes for a model to wear. Wouldn't it enhance the aesthetics of society? Just weird thinking.
To me, she's the definition of perfection. Everything and anything looks stunning on her. I just loveeee reading her blog & looking at all the great photos.
Also, two items for Sale,
I'm weird, I spent more money to buy the same items in a new packaging. yeah, I did that to improve my quality of life by having less space taken up in my 999 square foot apartment (More breathing room, you know). They just couldn't give us that extra 1 square foot.
These two pigments are available if anyone is looking for them in original form.
Both for $30 shipped US
Have great evening!
p.s. If I don't get a chance to reply to all your comment it's because I'm kind of stressed, and busy with work, life, and the puppies! My mom has been calling me for the past few days and I'm always too busy to talk to her..she got super pissed off at me this morning because I was taking the dogs out and not paying attention to her on the phone and she yelled at me and said I don't want to talk to you anymore! and hung up on me.. that's the kind of stress I'm going through! ugh.
The little puppies are destroying so much stuff (they chew up my furniture!!). I just said farewell to my new Tory Burch sandals..the black patent leather ones that I paid full price for.. it hurt pretty bad. I don't get mad or blame them b/c I'm sure they have no idea what's the difference between a chew toy and a pair of shoes. What happens, happens. Life goes on : ) (that's a forced smiley). lol But what I can't stand is any dog owner who yells at or hits their dog for any mistake of accident. They really don't know better unless you have taught them well. It's the owner's mistake 99% of the time if the dog does something they don't approve of..just saying.
But anyhow, if you do leave a comment, please share with me your thoughts on interpersonal relationships. I'm curious to hear your stories.

DIY Spring Pipe Cleaner Rings/
There's something about holidays that makes me especially crafty. I absolutely LOVE a good holiday craft, and I personally don't think they all need to be saved for Christmas. Since Easter is coming up, I scoured the attic for supplies and decided to make these adorable rings out of pipe cleaners! They're simple to make and pretty silly, so I think the kids would LOVE them.
I added some fun embellishments, like pom poms, felt flowers and glitter paper to create some spring characters. I kind of want to wear these all the way until Easter, since they're so cute! Plus they really play up my lavender manicure.
They'd make a perfect prize for your Easter egg hunt as an alternative to candy too! Head on over to Giggles Galore to see the full post. It's so easy to make your own!

In recent years the ability to renovate and give life to old warehouses, barns, and industrial buildings has taken the design world by storm. From rustic exposed finishes and structural elements to industrial inspired lighting fixtures, there is no doubt that industrial details are here to stay. The appeal of bringing back a design age that focused on manufacturing, mechanical ingenuity and appreciating raw and unfinished interiors is a gorgeous way to bring industrial style to your home. If you've been admiring those urban lofts and barn conversions in your latest interiors magazine, take a look at these 10 ways to transform your home with these industrial style details.
1. Seek inspiration by looking to buildings with historic pasts
Before you can know what type of industrial details you like, look to buildings that share a historic past to reveal creative ideas you may not know about. Exposed brick walls, timber roof trusses and steel columns without drywall wraps are common in warehouse and manufacturing districts. Consider traveling to your local downtown city to see if there is a revitalization of older buildings. For many cities across the world the restoration of warehouses, barns, and manufacturing facilities into swanky condos and office buildings is on the rise.
2. Get acquainted with your favorite rustic metals for your interiors
In the days of steel and iron manufacturing in the United States and other areas across the world the use of industrial products and metals were prominent in plumbing and lighting fixtures, cabinet and doorknob hardware and for structural members in roof and column members. Today the use of wrought iron as in ornamental and structural is an industrial element that looks wonderful in the contemporary home. Also look to brushed nickel, copper and cast iron metals to bring organic and industrial appeal to your home.
3. Exposed mechanical details in your modern home
If you are a fan of the industrial rebirth in furniture, fixtures, and lighting you probably already have your eye on a few one-of-a-kind pieces that you must have in your interiors. From pulley inspired lighting, to scissor accordion lighting sconces, the mechanics behind these pieces are not left to the imagination. Instead, the mechanical workings of these pieces are left exposed and are the appeal of industrial details. This island in this kitchen was repurposed into a new use and is also multifunctional with its industrial inspired casters and legs.
4. Mixing and matching modern details with industrial charm
The beauty of adding industrial elements into your home is the ability to mix and match your current contemporary styles with older inspired architectural details. The easiest room to do this is in the kitchen. Modern day appliances with sleek stainless steel or integrated cabinetry with matching panel on your appliance fronts can borrow cues from the industrial era with simple hardware to give a nod to industrial elements. Pendant lighting such as filament lighting that uses Edison-style bulbs creates the look of industrial and retro lighting along with choosing fixtures with rustic metals and details can transform your kitchen instantly.
5. Bring an artistic flair to your interiors with expressive artwork
Another way to bring industrial architectural details into your home is to use artwork to express your creative design style. Bold graphics, murals, and even painting bold symbols on an exposed brick wall to make an instant accent wall in your bedroom or living room. Create your own artwork using ideas found around your city such as symbols, literary numbers and letters, or even abstract painting can turn a bland and boring wall into a work of art.
6. Renovate your home with nods to industrial design
If you're considering renovating your home a wonderful way to bring in industrial details is to find architectural focal points that need a new face. Fireplaces and accent walls can be refaced with industrial exposed materials to create a finished look that is industrial inspired while leaving the rest of your room looking modern and clean. Concrete is a great finish to work with, as it is functional structurally and can be polished for a high gloss or left matte or unfinished for a rustic appeal. Leave nail heads and seams exposed to bring out the industrial appeal of this versatile building material. Concrete can be used on floors, countertops, sinks, bathtubs, fireplaces and more.
7. Seek ideas from industrial inspired furniture with minimal detailing
Over the last decade in home design there's been an increase of furniture manufacturers embracing the industrial design rebirth style and it's reflected in bedroom and living room furniture with minimal detailing with simple materials. Simple wrought iron canopy beds can be made more formal or informal based on the bedding ensemble you choose to adorn your bed with. While pairing similar style lighting fixtures and monochromatic colors can bring the look of industrial chic into your bedroom.

Kim Kardashian has been tackled and almost knocked to the ground by a notorious serial pest in chaotic scenes at Paris Fashion Week today.
Kim, her husband Kanye West and Kris Jenner arrived via car at the event and were greeted with a sea of fans and paparazzi before one of them grabbed her.
Ukrainain prankster Vitalii Sediuk - who known for pulling similar red carpet stunts on Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith and Madonna – has claimed responsibility for the attack.
He told the Daily Mail he hoped Kardashian wasn't angry at him.
"I hope Kim is OK and won't be mad at me as I didn't mean any harm," he said.
"Kanye is one lucky man as Kim is a goddess!"
Video shows Kim getting out of the car before being lunged at by Sediuk, who tries to pull her to the ground.
As Kim struggles to get free, Kanye forces his way through fans around the car to get to her side.
Security subdued Sediuk and Kim and her family were escorted into the fashion event.
The prankster posted a photo to Instagram of him waiting by Kardashian and West's car in the moments before his latest effort.
He said the stunt was his protest for being banned from entering the United States, following his approach to actor Brad Pitt on the red carpet at the premiere of the film Maleficent.
In May, Sediuk ran onto the red carpet, grabbed Pitt's lapels and "was trying to bury his face into my crotch", the actor later said in a statement.
He was arrested and banned from attending any entertainment-related events in Los Angeles.
He was subsequently barred by US Customs and Border Protection from re-entering the country.

outclass x gerhard : 5 YEARS AND COUNTING
On June 23 2018 we celebrated the 5th anniversary of our shop and our longest standing designer partnership : Outclass Attire.
To acknowledge the milestone, we prepared a retrospective exhibition featuring our favourite Outclass pieces from the last 5 years.
We also designed and produced a collaborative capsule collection with Outclass. The capsule collection is a nod to our first season with the brand, Spring / Summer 2013, which featured a 3-pack of chambray shirts in blue, black and red.
Outclass is a Toronto-based lifestyle brand committed to producing carefully crafted menswear essentials in Canada. Founder and creative director, Matteo Sgaramella, set out to design his first capsule collection while attending university. While researching factories, he uncovered a small network of talented manufacturers in Toronto. His passion for quality and attention to detail inspired the factory owners, many of whom had become used to producing utilitarian garments and uniforms. The majority of these initial relationships are still in place and those connections, have grown beyond simple business relationships.
Special thanks to The Junction Fromagerie and Junction Craft Brewing for catering the event, and to Big Pig Production Co. for documenting.
Thank you to all of our friends, customers, and passers by for making the event such a pleasure to host.

The travel hacking resources I rely on today/
Sorry to regular readers for the shortage of posts lately, I've been suffering from a combination of computer trouble (nothing new there) and website trouble (my Google ads started breaking the site) which together made it increasingly frustrating to do anything but basic maintenance.
But I appear to have rendered the website usable again, so hopefully it will get a little livelier around here!
Today I thought I'd share some the travel hacking resources I get the most value out of. This list has changed a lot over time. When I first got into the game, my primary resources were other blogs and the FlyerTalk forums. That's changed for two reasons: the FlyerTalk forums were redesigned and are now agonizing to navigate, which drove away users and reduced their value further, sending the site into a kind of death spiral; I haven't visited FlyerTalk in months, if not years.
Meanwhile, I've mostly stopped visiting even the high-quality blogs I used to rely on, since they've all undergone a kind of homogenization. My working theory is that all the bloggers read the same "how-to" guide on building a reputation as an influencer, and they all adopted the exact same techniques. The most obvious example is the difference between a blog that posts when the author has something to say, and a blog that posts whether or not the author has anything to say. Worse, when a blog goes on to hire two or three additional writers it will inevitably end up with page after page of clutter before you're able to find any useful information.
Anyway, enough grousing. While I don't read many blogs anymore, I still consume a lot of travel hacking content. This is where I get it.
Static pages
Fresh content can be overrated; I created a lot of static pages around here (sadly, now mostly out-of-date) because I wanted to be able to easily find the exact information I needed. I still rely on two static resources all the time:
My Hotel Promotions page is the first place I go when I'm planning a hotel stay. I try to keep it up-to-date, and briefly describe each promotion with a link directly to the registration page. There are a few other sites that try to do something similar, like Loyalty Lobby, but their formatting drives me nuts, and they include targeted and hyper-specific promotions (earn 500 points when you stay at a Holiday Inn Express in Mainland China!), and usually link to their own blog posts about each promotion instead of directly to the registration site itself.
Frequent Miler's best credit card offers. The page has gotten somewhat more annoying to use over the years, but he still does a good job keeping it up-to-date, so when I just want to find out what the highest current sign-up offer is for a given credit card is, I almost always start here. Once you know the offer, if you don't want to use an affiliate link you can usually just Google the offer terms and find a direct link to the application.
They're not for everyone, but if you're a podcast addict like me these are no-brainers:
Dots, Lines & Destinations. Not strictly speaking focused on travel hacking, but travel-hacking adjacent, with coverage of loyalty programs, aircraft interiors, and aviation news, along with trip reports and interviews. It's been around at least as long as I've been travel hacking, and the hosts' experience and comfort shows.
Saverocity Observation Deck. More focused on travel hacking, credit cards, reselling, and family travel (Joe also hosts a Disney-specific podcast, Disney Deciphered, for the Mouse-lovers out there). Patreon subscribers get bonus content at the end of most episodes.
Milenomics Squared. From the brains behind the Milenomics blog, this has quickly become one of my favorite travel hacking resources, as it's focused almost entirely on earning and redeeming points. Patreon subscriptions are fairly expensive, but the additional podcast content is simply indispensable and you get access to their lively Slack channel which is a great source of datapoints for all things miles-and-points. Let me put it this way: I'm cheap, and I'm still happy to pay for this subscription.
Twitter accounts
The flip side of blogs becoming less valuable as resources is that Twitter has become much more valuable, since most bloggers tweet out a headline and a link to each new post, letting you quickly identify the ones worth reading and acting on, and the ones you can skip. I find this infinitely more convenient than subscribing to each blog in an RSS reader, which quickly fills up with all the clutter big blogs pump out these days ("The Pan Am Flight Attendant Who Gave Her Life Saving Passengers on a Hijacked Flight 33 Years Ago").
There is a lot of repetition and clout-chasing on Twitter, so you should be sure to follow sparingly and unfollow easily. Trust me, as long as you follow 5-6 accounts, you're not going to miss anything. With that said, here's a starter kit for travel hacking Twitter:
@FrequentMiler. Of the biggest travel hacking blogs, still the most narrowly focused on miles and points, with very few breathless headlines about people taking their shoes off on planes or whatever. The blog is cluttered but the Twitter feed lets you focus on the deals relevant to you.
@milestomemories. Coverage of broader travel deals and news.
@Drofcredit. Covers absolutely everything, which makes the blog unusable (he posts dozens of things each day) but makes the Twitter feed a great one-stop resource to keep track of current and upcoming deals. Follow @Chucksth for bonus Doctor of Credit content.
@dannydealguru. I'm not an extreme couponer but I've come to really appreciate Danny's laser focus on discounts. I don't use his deals very often, but I'm always glad to know about them.
Finally, if you end up liking the podcasts I recommended above, you should follow the hosts: @WandrMe, @ssegraves and @fozzm for Dots, Lines & Destinations, @asthejoeflies and @tmount for the Saverocity Observation Deck, and @Milenomics and @RobertDwyer for Milenomics Squared.
You are also free to follow me on Twitter, but about 2% of my tweets have anything remotely to do with travel hacking, so you probably have better things to do.

Woman's Club of Fullerton
We created a whole new look for this legendary club. The Woman's Club of Fullerton has a long history dating back to 1902. All years filled with kindness and a dedication to make a world a better place. I wanted to create them new branding that showed history and strength and also the dedication and grace in which they stand. I decided to use the club flower, which is the Magnolia, and their club colors, so we created this design that looks classic, and highly stylized.
Market Vision
I have worked with many different design companies in the past, but never have I found such a great combination of talent, knowledge, service and professionalism as I've experienced with Green Design. I will definitely take my future design projects to Green Design.
Princeton Technology

Sorta-Sick Ava
So last week Ava seemed a little under the weather. It started off with the usual symptoms, a runny nose, intermittent cough, etc. Then she started complaining of a tummy ache, which had us a little concerned, especially when she got sick to her stomach and was running a low grade temp. But it didn't turn into anything serious, at all, and by the next morning, the temperature was gone and Miss Diva was up to her usual perky, mischievous, rambunctious self. Hooray! :)
I do have to admit, though, that we ALL really did enjoy a day of Ava a little more chill than usual. She wasn't running at her usual insane energy level, but still had plenty to play. Ava spent the day in her princess dress up, coloring, playing with building blocks, watching movies, and spreading fairy dust with her magical wand. A few photos of a VERY tame Ava. It was worth capturing, who KNOWS when it will happen again. ;)
And the best part(aside from her kickass immune system fighting off her sickies before it turned into anything too terrible), she partook in NAP TIME! :D

Leather Jackets is the 20th studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, recorded at Sol Studios in England and Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands, and released in 1986. It was his first album to not create any top 40 singles in either the US or the UK since 1970's Tumbleweed Connection, which had no singles released from it. It is also the poorest-charting album of his career.
In 2006, John declared this his least favorite of all his albums: "Gus Dudgeon did his best but you can't work with a loony." He's also been quoted as saying there were some records where he was "not together at all" and cited this album as an example. With its biker cover, he said it was "very butch but a total disaster. I was not a well budgie, I was married and it was just one bag of coke after another."
In 2001 Elton regarded Heartache All Over the World as the worst song he'd ever recorded, calling it "pretty insubstantial".
In 2000, Gus Dudgeon said: "There was a chance he could polish himself off. He'd go out and do some coke and it'd be all over his mouth, his nose would be running and I'd go: 'Oh God, this is just awful'."
However, lyricist Bernie Taupin believes The Big Picture deserves the honor of worst album.
"Heartache All Over the World" was the only single to achieve chart success in the US, though it failed to crack the top 50. "Slow Rivers" is a collaboration with Cliff Richard that was released as a single in the UK. Cher collaborated with "Lady Choc Ice" (actually John himself) to write "Don't Trust That Woman".
Roger Taylor and John Deacon of Queen play drums and bass guitar respectively on the track "Angeline".
This was John's last studio release to be produced by Gus Dudgeon and his last in which he played a grand piano before switching to the Roland RD-1000 digital piano for Reg Strikes Back and the two albums following that. After his throat surgery in 1987, Chris Thomas would be rehired as producer. For the first time in John's career, no songs on this album are longer than five minutes.
John played "Paris" during his 1986 US tour. He included "Heartache All Over the World" and "Slow Rivers" on his 1986 Australian tour with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, which would eventually yield John's live album Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. "Heartache" was included in the band portion of the show (John opted not to play piano for that number) while "Slow Rivers" was played during the second half of the show with the orchestra. Due to contractual constraints, "Slow Rivers" was not included on Live in Australia, despite the fact that it was from the orchestral portion of the show, which was the basis for the album.
Though not released as a single, "Paris" would also, ironically, become a minor FM hit for some jazz stations that programmed the track.
This is John's only studio album that has yet to be remastered as of 2013. However, it is available on compact disc.
"Leather Jackets" – 4:10
"Hoop of Fire" – 4:14
"Don't Trust That Woman" 4:58
"Go It Alone" – 4:26
"Gypsy Heart" – 4:46

"Heartache All Over the World" – 4:17
"Angeline" – 3:24
"Memory of Love" – 4:08

"I Fall Apart" – 4:00

Well, you might have heard that Microsoft (with some assistance from the academic community and hardware vendors) is working on their own solution to the "multicore dilemma". Unsurprisingly, they're not recommending that everybody throw away their imperative C++ and C# code, and adopt an entirely new programming paradigm, like functional programming. Instead, they're implementing a series of tools that make it much easier to get a lot of the benefit of multiple processors, without having to learn a new way of thinking.
Late last year, the first fruits of this work became available. The "Parallel Extensions to .NET" (or Parallel FX) are available from Microsoft as a free download, as a Community Technology Preview (basically, an open Beta). You can read much more about it at Microsoft's website here. There's a great MSDN Magazine article that hits the high points, as well.
One key point in their design is the realization that anonymous functions (they call them anonymous delegates, but that's just jargon) provide a simple way to package up a "unit of work" to pass off to another processor. This is nothing new to the functional programmers out there, I know. But for folks who are firmly rooted in the C/C++ tradition, learning that they can replace:
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
a[i] = a[i]*a[i];
Parallel.For(0, 100, delegate(int i) {
a[i] = a[i]*a[i];
and get a massive speedup on multi-core machines, is likely to be something of a revelation. Parallel FX does some fun stuff under the hood with all those delegate invocations, as well, enabling better work sharing - see the MSDN article for details. I thought this was an interesting hybrid approach, rather than the "all or nothing" approach to addressing concurrency.
For those that are already familiar with OpenMP, it's a somewhat similar model, in many ways. The additional abstraction provided by having an anonymous function does simplify the simple cases, though - the arguments to the function are "private", and everything else is "shared", basically.
One of these weekends, I'll have to take a deeper look into Parallel FX. I did find it fascinating that a single language feature (anonymous delegates) can be leveraged to do so much, though.

The shutdown is a game of chicken and America is losing
Those of us who have been around past government shutdowns have seen a trend. There's normally a series of issues both sides hold dear that neither side wants to give the other, at least not at the dollar amounts requested, so they trade taxplayer dollars like baseball cards in hopes of getting the better end of the bargain. This one is different, and it's the ugliest I've ever seen.
This really comes down to one issue, of course. Will the wall get partial funding or not? The Democrats have the political upper hand while President Trump has the moral upper hand. He would have both had he not given them the ammunition they needed by claiming he would take ownership of the shutdown. It gave the Democrats a talking point they can copy and paste.
They say great minds think alike. Apparently, the saying applies to the feeble-minded as well. pic.twitter.com/KvmyK1Ezjw
— JD Rucker (@JDRucker) December 26, 2018
America needs the border wall. Unfortunately, the Democrats are playing their cards like heartless politicians (which they are) while the President isn't effectively making his case to anyone other than his base. While the sides squabble, Americans are suffering.
Stench of impeachment must stick to Democrats in 2020
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has one goal. Contrary to popular belief, it's not impeachment of the President. She's supporting it now because she has to for various reasons ranging from a revolting left within her own caucus to acting as a smokescreen to protect Joe Biden and other Democrats (possibly including herself) who have engaged with the previous corrupt government of Ukraine. But it's not what she wants because she knows it will fail in the end.
Her actual goal is to clear the stink of impeachment off the Democrats before the 2020 election. Yes, it's going to stink. Thanks to the antics of Adam Schiff and others, it's already stinking pretty badly and it hasn't even had very much time to rot in front of American voters. She wants to get in, check off the impeachment box on her list of "accomplishments" as Speaker, and move onto the next component of obstruction that she'll hope to ride into the 2020 election.
We cannot allow that to happen. This stink must remain firmly attached to the Democrats who support impeachment all the way through to election day next year. They need to wear impeachment like an albatross of shame around the necks, and they must not be allowed to shed it until they're ousted from office.
This is important. The press is going to help them "move on" after it's done. But conservatives must keep pressing it. We cannot allow it to fall off the radar as we've done so many times in recent elections. Benghazi should have sunk President Obama, but he was let off the hook. The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation debacle should have helped Republicans expand their control of the Senate, but it was old news a month after his confirmation just in time for the 2018 midterm elections. Time and time again, Democrats hand Republicans something that stinks, and Republicans fail to capitalize on it during elections.
If former FBI Director James Comey had let Hillary Clinton off the hook for her email scandal a month earlier than he did, she might have won the 2016 election. That's how bad Republicans are at capitalizing on Democratic mistakes. Impeachment is such a mistake, a huge one. And if Republicans don't handle it right, they'll let it slip into the history books instead of letting it carry them to big gains in the House and Senate.
President Trump will be fine. He'll capitalize on it without even trying and will use it to win his reelection. Down-ballot races must do the same. Any Republican running against a Democrat who supports impeachment should use that as the anchor that sinks the incumbent into a dark electoral pit. They should hammer this debacle until their opponents' names are synonymous with "impeachment" among their constituents.
We must help them.
If your representative supports impeachment, make certain everyone you influence knows just how bad that really is. Today, it is allegedly popular with many. But it's going to end up stinking very badly, and that odor must stick to Democrats like glue.

Andrew Wilkow: Elizabeth Warren's lack of real-world experience is why progressives love her
Elizabeth Warren is the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president. I'll admit, I never expected that to be the case until recently. I truly believed she would be in the middle of the pack before bowing out in favor of Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, or one of the other radical progressives who would take on Joe Biden. But I was wrong. She has surged into the lead and at this point, it's her race to lose.
BlazeTV's Andrew Wilkow explained her popularity among the progressives, and in doing so showed by I was unable to see her appeal. According to Wilkow, the difference between her and Hillary Clinton is that she's a member of the elite academia, which progressives love. Her lack of real-world experience isn't seen as the clear detraction that it should be. Instead, having lived in a theoretical bubble of feel-good progressive policy proposals gives her an advantage in the eyes of hyper-leftists.
In other words, she hasn't had any real-world experience to burst her bubble, so she's able to enact hypothetical ideas that are demonstrably bad without reality clouding her judgment. To the far-left, this makes her an ideal candidate.
How in the world is Elizabeth Warren leading in the Democratic polls? Andrew Wilkow breaks it all down for us in this eye-opening analysis for BlazeTV. She's as detached from reality as her policy proposals, which is why the radicals adore her.

The next demand after 'universal' background checks: Governmental permission to defend yourself
As predicted, the left is now moving on to new demands for licensing for unalienable human rights.
FreedomToons debunks the next stage in the authoritarian socialist left's obsession with gun confiscation, the requirement for governmental permission to possess an unalienable human right. The left is never satisfied with just one incremental imposition on our freedom. They see their campaign to destroy liberty as a multi-step process.
'Universal' background checks place the government in control of private property, something the founding fathers would find to be abhorrent. Having to obtain governmental permission to buy, sell or transfer private property means the government is asserting control over that property, to record who has that property, tax it when they see fit or even deny said transfers. This is why the national socialist left obsesses over this step towards gun confiscation.
Registration/licensing is the next step on this journey, formally placing the government in control of an unalienable human right.
'Universal' background checks change the essential relationship of government having the consent of the people, to that of the people needing to obtain the consent of the government in exercising their unalienable human rights. Make no mistake, these kinds of tyrannical moves only begin with the right of self-preservation. Soon enough, they morph into requirements for other freedoms.
Registration is confiscation.
Placing the government in control of an unalienable human right means that permission can be withdrawn at any moment. We have already proven that registration/licensing is confiscation with the only distinction being were the guns are stored until they are destroyed.
Licensing/registration schemes for basic civil rights means that the government can simply revoke it's permission on a whim and demand that the people surrender their guns as has happened down through history. Our second video will make that point clear.
- 7 Gun Control Myths That Just Won't Die
- Bloomberg's School of Public Health Cherry Picked Claim that firearm homicides in Connecticut fell 40% because of a gun licensing law
- What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
- This is the original video from Vox: The gun solution we're not talking about [Sep 11, 2019]
While they will promise that each new restriction on freedom will miraculously solve the problem, these are but mere steps to their ultimate goal of gun confiscation. As we already predicted, the demand for 'universal' background checks will quickly morph into demands for self-defense licensing. A requirement that everyone obtain permission from the government in order to exercise the basic human right of self-preservation. Never mind that setting up the government to be in control of it's own constraints makes no sense.
Does the left really want to place the government in control of our civil liberties?
We would have riots in the newsrooms of the New York Times if freedom of the press depended upon governmental permission. The precepts of the Bill of Rights are constraints on the government, they don't exist if they depend upon it's permission. The right to privacy or due process, won't exist if the powers that be control their implementation. But somehow the authoritarian socialist left doesn't seem to have a problem with this issue when applied to guns. It's that special exception that everyone misses in the founding documents that says that these are unalienable human rights, but only if kids aren't crying on the tele.
Please note that the 2nd amendment only affirms a pre-existing right:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
[Emphasis added]
Note that says the people, not militia and that this pre-existing right shall not be infringed. This was meant as a bulwark against tyranny, it doesn't make any sense to have this control against tyranny in the hands of the government.
Sometimes, it's just too easy to predict the actions of the authoritarian socialist left.
It was only back in August that we predicted that if the Republicans and President Trump knuckled under to the liberty grabber leftists, that they would be back with new demands for licensing/registration requirements on our inalienable human rights.
In the case of the original video from VOX, published in September, they are getting ahead of themselves with new demands even before their old obsessions were fulfilled. Apparently the left is so obsessed with gun confiscation, they couldn't wait to make this new demand for the restriction of liberty.
The authoritarian left wants to restrict liberty based on what might happen.
One almost has to admire the chutzpah of the authors of the original production in talking about restricting the liberty of people based on future actions. Part of their 'logic' being that a long arduous licensing process would catch or deter someone who is 'in crisis' [whatever that means] before they might do something 'bad'.
Again, it's easy to predict where this will go from here, since it's just a minor leap in logic to decide to preclude any future actions with the final solution of gun confiscation.
Registration, Confiscation, Annihilation.
Our second video proves the point that licensing/registration is virtually confiscation. It is a first hand account of what happens when people forget that the common sense human right of self-defense is a restraint on the government.
We also had gun control. The government said that children were playing with guns and we had hunting accidents. People accidentally shooting each other and we had criminals again murderers. The only way that they could track the murderer was by the serial number of the gun so bring us your gun to the police station then we can register the serial number and we can track the criminal.
Not long afterwards they said, no it did not help we could not track all the criminals the best way to have no more crimes and no more people getting hurt. Bring your guns to the police station and they already know who had guns because we registered our guns.
[Emphasis added]
The Bottom-line.
Everyone should be able to see why the national socialist left obsesses over 'universal' background checks, a critical step to gun confiscation. The 'big picture' on all of this should make it clear why the left is double-dealing on demanding gun confiscation while denying they are demanding gun confiscation.
They need to determine gun ownership with 'universal' background checks. This is followed by virtual gun confiscation with licensing/registration schemes. From there it's just a matter of calling in the guns at the appropriate time, most likely after another mass murder tragedy since these requirements never solve the problem of societal violence.
This is why more people are answering NO or we will not comply to the demands of the left in destroying our liberty. The original VOX video proves than 'universal' background checks won't ever be enough. Virtual gun confiscation with licensing/registration won't be enough for the liberty grabbers. For the national socialist left, gun confiscation will always be the final solution to the liberty problem.

A little about myself and who I am
I'm a North Carolina native raised on sweet tea and blue grass. I have an amazing husband and two wild and free children. I've always had a strong urge to explore and travel. In the summer of 2017 my family hit the road in a vintage motorhome and we ventured out to Washington state to explore and live the PNW life. We currently reside just north of Seattle and enjoy being so close to the city yet still getting to enjoy the views of the cascade mountains with Baker to the North and Rainier just south of us. In July of 2019 we will be going back to our home state and are looking forward to our next adventure.
I'm inspired by natural light, real & raw emotion, and couples that are madly in love. My photography style is very photo-journalistic. I direct my couples and families in a very fun and laid back approach that results in lots of giggles, smiles, and intimate moments. My couples are quirky, free-spirited and love to explore and go on adventures. Some of my favorite weddings to photograph are simple, intimate, and heart-felt. Give me all the backyard weddings, mountain views, and off beat venues. If you feel a connection with my work and relate to my values I'd love to chat and make some magic!
It's important that we VIBE
Your wedding day is that rare occasion where all your friends and family meet and gather together. Once the cake has been cut, the toasts have been said, and you've danced the night way, your magical day is over. All you have left are your photos! Your wedding experience is so much more than just booking someone to show up and take pictures. It's your memories to be relived through photographs. It's capturing those REAL unscripted moments that are unique to your celebration. All the beautiful details you poured your heart into, the tears in your partner's eyes when you exchange vows, and of course all the frame worthy portraits that will be cherished for years to come. It's important that we vibe together because we will be spending more time together before and during the wedding than any other vendor. I want you to feel comfortable, I want to make you laugh, and I want to inspire you. If you resonate with my work and value my craft and what I can offer you we may be a great fit. Invest in your photos, you won't regret it!

BREAKING: Yankees Sign Miller to a Four-Year Deal/
Andrew Miller has agreed to a 4-year, $36 million deal with the Yankees, according to source involved in negotiations.
— Jack Curry (@JackCurryYES) December 5, 2014
So the Yankees are doing something this offseason. Isn't that always the way? They sit still for a little bit, which annoys the fans because they take this stillness to mean that they're being complacent and then BAM! Two deals in one day.
Last year, Miller played for the Red Sox and Orioles, posting a 2.02 ERA with a strong 103/17 K/BB in 62.1 IP. He's also a lefty which is a nice luxury to have in a bullpen.
Now, I'm not sure what this deal means for David Robertson but maybe the Yankees will sign him as well and make their bullpen an extra special kind of scary.

Probably the easiest bit of mast hardware to get off, the vang (or kicker) comes off ready for service and replacement of it's rope.
Bye Bye Boom
Preparing for the mast coming off our team lowered the boom to deck level, meaning less to do when we unstep the mast!
Refit Serenity
Some lovely late Autumn (or early winter) serenity at the marina just before sunset.
Riding High!
With lots of weight removed, especially the Anchor and chain the bow sits quite a bit higher in the water.
Main Off
Always a big job, getting the mainsail off and folded ready for dispatch to the sail-makers for checking
Big Sails - Big Lorry
Final Load off to the Sailmakers!
Prepped and Checked
Mast Electrics disconnected and ready to go for the mast lift!
Ready, Steady, Go
With protection in place for the deck blocks it was time to hoist
Car Park Chaos!
So, we are taking up a few spaces for the winter with our Mast and Boom!
We bring the Ocean Sailing Experience to you. Join us for sailing of all types from short day or corporate trips to ocean crossings.

If a service dog approaches you alone then their owner could be in trouble
The doggo knew exactly what to do, but the person approached obviously didn't.
A woman has shared an important message about service dogs to help people know when the animals are trying to summon assistance for their owner.
Twitter user Melissa Hope, from Pennsylvania, shared a note which included the key line: "If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help."
She said the post was to "educate people" about what they should do.
In her tweet, posted on someone else's behalf, it explained that a service dog had tried to summon help when its owner tripped up, assuming they were having a seizure.
The anonymous writer described falling flat on their face, adding that while "awful" it was "ultimately harmless" and they were able to go after their dog.
When they caught up with the dog, however, the woman he was trying to summon was "swatting him away and telling him to go away."
The Twitter post – dubbed a Service Dog Public Service Announcement (PSA) – has resonated with hundreds of thousands of people.
The writer urges people to follow service dogs if alone, humorously adding: "If what's-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him".
One woman added a similar tale to the mix adding "always follow a service dog".
my classmate's service dog came up to me alone outside and i said "where's your mom?" he ran off and i ran with him. his mom was having a seizure on the sidewalk and i was there to put my sweater under her head to protect her.— gretchen mothman (@solelymoving) June 18, 2018
always follow a service dog https://t.co/oruNJDW2YK
Online, people revealed that they had no idea service dogs might work in such a way.
If a service dog approaches you, follow him. I didn't know... https://t.co/oEwDpi1XPY— JS (@js4k13) June 19, 2018
I honestly didn't know that I was supposed to follow a service dog in a vest if it approached me by itself.— Jim Campbell (@JustJimWillDo) June 18, 2018
I do now.
So do you.
The world is a slightly better place. Well done us. https://t.co/uzVCs4zQNe
This could save a life - if a service dog approaches you without their owner, please assume that their owner is in danger and that the dog is looking for somebody to help them out 🐾💙 https://t.co/rrjr7p9u6u— Pet Connection 🐾 (@Pet_Connection) June 18, 2018
When one Twitter user said they always gave service dogs a wide berth because they're working, Melissa replied about the importance of educating the public.
You're absolutely rt. Many people think this. Thats the point of the message, to educate people what it does mean & you should do, if they approach all by selves.— Melissa Hope (@lissalet) June 19, 2018
And now the world is a better place.
Life should be rich in learning and growth everyday - and thanks to this courageous post, I have truly learnt something today, thank you 😉— ⭐Alan J Nobbs (@Alannobbs) June 18, 2018

- Dogara: No excuse for non-payment of pensions
James Emejo in Abuja
The Minister of Budget and Planning , Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, thursday said the federal government would constitute a special committee to reconcile conflicting figures on pensioners claims and evolve creative measures to raise funds towards resolving the huge pension liabilities to workers.
The committee, he added, would be headed by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.
Nevertheless,he disclosed that the federal government had concluded plans to mobilise resources to clear part of the outstanding pension entitlements put at over N174 billion.
The federal government indebtedness to pensioners is currently valued at over N300 billion.
Udoma stated this when he appeared alongside Adeosun to brief members of the House of Representatives at the plenary on measures being adopted by government to alleviate the plight of pensioners who earlier petitioned the House over the mounting indebtedness.
Both were summoned last week.
He said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari attaches priority to payment of pensioners as promised in the president's campaign promises to Nigerians.
He added that about a half of total revenue generated by government is spent on settlement of pensioners entitlement and payment of salaries.
Adeosun said the release of N54 billion on Wednesday to clear outstanding pension liabilities further proved government's commitment towards addressing pensioners' plight.
She said government's inability to meet its obligations to pensioners was largely tied to shortfalls in revenue occasioned by recent volatility in the oil sector but assured oensioners that the issue would be resolved when the reconciliation and verification processes are sorted out.
She, therefore, absolved the current administration of blame.
Adeosun noted that though the sum of N191.2 billion was appropriated by the National Assembly, only N99. 5 billion was released, leaving a shortfall of N142.6 billion.
Notwithstanding the ministers' presentations, the House warned that it would not accept excuses for reneging on pension obligations by the federal government.
The Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, charged the executive to ensure that all backlog of pension payments are made promptly, adding that "no excuse will be accepted for failure to do so."
Dogara gave this charge after both ministers made presentations to the House.
However, he said he remained confident of the promise made by Buhari that issues surrounding non-payment of pensions to retired federal civil servants will be addressed.
He recalled that when President Buhari made a promise to provide bailout funds to states for payment of backlog of salaries, he ensured that it was done.
According to him, "We will not accept any excuse that leaves part of this pension funds hanging. When the president made a commitment that he was going to release money for bailout to states so that they can pay backlog of salaries and pensions, it happened, even though we were in the midst of a very biting recession. Now the president has said this issue of pension must be solved.
"I don't know where you got the money to bail out the states from, wherever you got the money from, that is where we are going to get the money to solve this problem. And for the ministers who are representatives of the president, I believe you won't make him (Buhari) break his words because his words are cherished. I want to believe this will be the last intervention we will be having with regards to the issue of pensions in this country. That is my charge.
"The message the House will be sending to the president through the ministers is, when you meet him to brief him about this engagement, just tell him that we have taken his words to the bank and we believe that we will cash it."
However, barely one hour after the plenary, President of the National Union of Pensioners (NUP), Abel Afolayan, in a statement obtained by THISDAY, disclosed that federal government's indebtedness to the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) was over N280 billion.
Breakdown of the amount showed shortfall of N62,484,887,175 for 2014; N38,453,996,566 deficit for 2015 and N38,453,996,566 deficit for 2016 fiscal year.
"2016 was even worse as N91,914,899,000 was required, but the Budget Office proposed only N50,195,808,918 to the National Assembly, which also approved it, leaving a deficit of N41,719,090,082.
"Worst still, of the N50,195,808,918 approved in the 2016 budget, only the sum N18,823,428,342 or mandates for four months was released and cash-backed, while N31,372,380,576 or mandate for seven and half months was never cash-backed and released.
He said: "Meanwhile, the truth is that approval of payment is not the same as payment. It will be good for the minister to tell us when the fund was transferred to the National Pension Commission, and when it will hit pensioners' accounts.
"Importantly, we are saddened that the federal government is claiming to have cleared pension arrears when the minister did not say a word regarding the over N174 billion owed pensioners who retired under the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS). Does it mean that pensioners under this scheme have finally been condemned to life of eternal hardship, sickness, and untimely death?"

FOOTBALLER Michael Owen may be forced to abandon plans for a star-studded wedding at his North Wales mansion - or face the prospect of letting members of the public get hitched there.
The Real Madrid striker has applied for a licence to wed childhood sweetheart Louise Bonsall in the grounds of his Flintshire home.
But last night it emerged he would have to make Lower Soughton Hall, near Northop, available to the public for the next three years.
It is the same rule that stopped Prince Charles and Camilla from tying the knot at Windsor Castle.
The royal couple-to-be had planned to licence the castle for their wedding.
But they were forced to switch to a registry office when it became clear licences remained in force for three years. The Prince's spokesman insisted licensing Windsor would have caused "too much long- term disruption from tourists".
Owen's £500,000 bash was planned for June.
According to reports, the Grade II-listed mansion was chosen for "security reasons".
The wedding was said to have been already organised with military-like precision after the star signed a huge deal with a celebrity magazine for exclusive picture rights.
Guests were due to be flown in on private jets to Hawarden airport, where they would be picked up by helicopters and taken to the grounds of his 30-acre home.
But Owen's best-laid plans may now have to be scrapped.
Owen, who earns around £80,000 a week, is thought to have sent his £255 cheque to Flintshire council for his licence.
Council spokesman Delwyn Evans said: "It is not our policy to comment on individual circumstances and an enquiry such as this should be addressed to the individual in question."
But he confirmed: "Approval of premises as a venue for marriages is granted in accordance with the Marriages (Approved Premises) Regulations 1995.
"An approval is granted for a period of three years or until such time as it is revoked."
One of the requirements the premises must fulfil under the act is to be "regularly available to the public for use for the solemnization of marriages".
To have the mansion approved for his marriage, Owen will also have to advertise the application in a local paper. Owen and his
girlfriend moved into the historic Flintshire mansion after the striker bought it in October 2001.
He has since added a luxury swimming pool, fitness centre, changing rooms, hot tub and snooker room, along with 10 horse boxes for the stable area and a gate system to keep away prying fans.
Even the garden of the hall - which underwent a major rebuild between 1856 and 1866 - was Grade II-listed by Welsh ancient monuments organisation Cadw.
Owen's agent Jon Holmes was abroad last night and unavailable for comment.
Agency SFX said it was not normally company policy to comment on its clients ' personal arrangements.
* THE Prince of Wales blanked questions about the "farcical" nature of his wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles last night.
Charles put on a brave face as he continued with his official duties following the run of blunders he and his bride-to-be have suffered over their forthcoming nuptials.
The heir to the throne simply smiled and waved at media crews as he arrived at an engagement in Spitalfields, east London.
One broadcaster shouted: "Are you disappointed about your mother not going to your wedding ? Do you believe your wedding is a farce?"
The Prince made no comment as he entered the restored Christ Church.

- knowledge that can contribute to improved production hygiene and increased product quality at food producers. We can, for example, discover contamination sources, analyse the causes of problems, suggest solutions and document the effects of measures taken to ensure safe and high quality foods.
- knowledge about how new technology and processes can give safe food and enhanced shelf life. We can, for example, discover how the recipe and production process used influence the growth and survival of both food pathogens (e.g. EHEC or Listeria monocytogenes) and spoilage organisms. pilot plants that make it possible to carry out experiments in industry-relevant conditions
- commissioned research and research projects in collaboration with the food industry courses and knowledge transfer to the industry and food producers (within areas such as hygiene and HACCP).
Microorganisms may pose a threat to the quality and safety of food and feed, while they may also have beneficial and positive properties Knowledge about the factors that influence the growth, survival, activity and function of bacteria is essential to control the bacteria in the food chain. Our research is to contribute to providing the food industry with a better basis for producing safer products with the desired shelf-life.
Nofima has the expertise and facilities required
Increased knowledge about production hygiene and the control of bacteria in food can contribute to improving product quality and shelf-life, reducing wastage, and reducing the risk of food-borne diseases.
Within the areas of production hygiene and safe food production Nofima can offer:
– scientists with long experience and high expertise
– access to well-equipped laboratories and pilot plants, giving unique opportunities to study bacteria in food and in production environments
– a large collection of bacterial strains from food and food-production facilities
– a broad selection of methods under continuous development, such as, for example, methods for biofilm studies and state-of-the art molecular analyses.
Improved production hygiene
Our research covers:
- how conditions in the production environment influence the growth and survival of bacteria
- factors that influence the establishment of bacteria and the subsequent formation of biofilms
- the properties of intractable problems in food production environments (such as the persistence of bacteria in food processing environments and the survival of pathogenic coli in potential risk products and various other bacteria detrimental to quality
- possible negative effects of cleaning regimens, such as the development of bacterial resistance
- measures to improve production hygiene and the control of micro-organisms in the production environment.
Control of bacteria in food
Our research covers:
- how these factors influence bacterial growth and survival in food
- why intractable bacteria grow and survive in food
- how new processes and technology influence the microbial shelf life and safety of food
- how combinations of recipe, process and storage can give safer products of high quality
