The other day I bought an album called "Seven Drunken Nights", a collection of folk songs sung by The Blarney Lads". Some of these I'm familiar with, eg. the title track (in which only five nights are featured, incidentally), but some of my favourites I've never heard of: Specifically, "Paddle me own canoe" and "Lannegan's Ball". I was wondering if anyone knows the words to these?

Lannigan's Ball mentions "Brook's Academy" as the place where our hero learned to dance. About fifteen years ago, at the start of a huge revival of interest in Irish "set-dancing", an organisation was set up under the same name to run classes, revive old dances, publish material etc.
Mind you, when its sung in Ireland the chorus usually goes "Six long weeks...." rather than three! Maybe we're slow learners!

"Lannigan's Ball" is in John K. Casey's 'The Rising of the Moon, and other Ballads, Songs, and Legends', n.d., (1864 or slightly later) without attribution. Also there is "Lannigan's Wake" 'Written and first sung in America by William Carleton at Tony Pastor's Opera House, New York. Air - Lannigan's Ball.' This commences "No doubt yee have heard of poor Jerry Lannigan".

Ach, the troubles caused by different spellings of words when the search engine is looking for exact matches! I couldn't find 'Bold O'Donahue' either, until I did a search for 'Blarney'. Donoghue, Donohue, Donaghue...
It would be lovely to have some kind of phonetic matching built into the search engine... I wonder if there's such an engine knocking around somewhere that the site could appropriate.
Cheers, Wolfgang, for pointing me to Lanigan anyway (Lannigan... Lanegan...) and to everyone else...

You're welcome, Fergus.
I dare to say that there is none of us who hasn't asked at least once for a song that could have been found in the database with different search words. Dick reminds us often not to use names for a search, but if you do not know much more what else can you do? Entering "ball", for instance, also brings you this song (among more than onehundred nonhits).
But sometimes the square brackets indicating phrases and the star sign indicating indifference to spelling before or after a group of letters you are sure to be in a song help.
In your case, [lan* ball] or [bold O'Don*] would have done the job. However, this is written in hindsight. If for obscure reasons the DT-database would have these songs as "Brave O'Don*" and "Larrigan's ball" this approach would fail as well.

I don't know if this is the Paddle Your Own Canoe you are thinking of or if it has great historical significance, but this one is in L.E. Wilder's By the Shores of Silver Lake. (Little House of the Prairie is only one of her interesting books.) This is a song she learned from her Pa and sung on the American frontier. I think it was sung to the tune of Rosin the Bow and may indeed have Irish origins.
1.I've traveled about a bit in my time
And troubles I've had me a few
But found it better in the ocean of life
To paddle my own canoe.
2.My wants are few, I care not at all,
If my debts are paid when I die
I drive away strife in the ocean of life
While I paddle my own canoe.
3. The love your neighbor as yourself
As the world you go traveling through
And never sit down with a tear or a frown
But paddle your own canoe.
I hope the lines are broken. I just now trying.

Love that title! I am searching for the quintessential collection of drinking songs pre-1940, the earlier the better. Between the english, irish, and aussies I believe I have found the correct group to address this. Fergus, who produced the album you bought and where might I find one? Martin, have you more info on the Academy? Would they be a good resource for researching lyrics and musical instruments? Fergus and Wolfgang, if you know which engine the site uses you should be able to get a run down on best search techniques. What you are dreaming of exists but most sites do not carry it. Mostly libraries use phonetic search engines that forgive spelling without giving you 50 gazillion hits. You are talking BIG money and slow retrieval times which is why these type of search engines are not normally for general use.

Songbooks of drinking songs are 'Bacchus and Venus', c 1737 and c 1772, and 'The Anatomy of Melancholy', 1749. There are also a lot of them in 'Pills to Purge Melancholy', 6 vols, 1719-20.

Paddle Me Own Canoe was on the Chieftain's live album recorded in Boston and Montreal and perhaps another place. They sang it at the end of an instrumental.

Dulcimer, The thread was listed when I switched to the full year display, but it wouldn't link to it. Actually, I just read the lyrics you posted above and they look like they're to a different song. The words you posted could fit the same tune, though. The song I'm looking for has a line that goes something like, "I have no wife to bother me life, nor lover to prove untrue... but all day long, a laugh and a song, and paddle me own canoe."
That's probably slightly wrong.

I hope someone has the Chieftain lyrics to Paddle and can post them. We could be talking about the same song and only giving the lyrics from different generations and times. Laura Wilder writing about life on the American frontier and family values and for children might not have heard or wanted to give the lyrics about a wandering single man. It might also make a more interestng song to put all the verses we can find together.

Both of these songs were made famous by Harry Clifton in the 1860s before they were pirated by Pastor in America. There are several threads on Harry Clifton and all the songs he wrote that are now counted as folk songs. Just search for Harry Clifton. I think the cover of the 'Paddle y o c' sheet music is on Ebay at the moment. If I remember correctly Clifton got LB from D K Gavan the Galway poet as also 'Rocky Road to Dublin'

Side note–this is already my fourth entry in this blog for the year. Feeling pretty good about that.
Over the past week, I ripped and processed Crowded House, the first and eponymous album by the group of the same name (Capitol Records, ST-12485), released in 1986.
Another album that I have not listened to in a while, this record is just plain fun. It's a great representation of the best of the Eighties, and every song on the album is worth listening to. Crowded House was originally made up of Neil Finn (guitar, piano, lead vocals), Nicholas Seymour (bass guitar), and Paul Hester (drums, BGV). I didn't realize it, but the band is currently active, and consists of Finn, Seymour, Mark Hart, and Matt Sherrod. Paul Hester left the group in 1994, and later committed suicide.
The track list is as follows:
Side One
1. World Where You Live
2. Now We're Getting Somewhere
3. Don't Dream It's Over
4. Mean To Me
5. Love You 'Til the Day I Die
Side Two
1. Something So Strong
2. Hole in the River
3. I Walk Away
4. Tombstone
5. That's What I Call Love
I would venture to guess that the most popular song on the album was "Don't Dream It's Over," which was covered by quite a few different acts, including Donny Osmond (yes, really), Faith No More, and Sixpence None the Richer (a very nice cover, that one).
Another song that was released as a single, and was almost as successful as "Don't Dream," was "Something So Strong."
The opening track, "World Where You Live" reached number 65 on the US charts.
I also like the second track, "Now We're Getting Somewhere."
Oh, did I mention that the band was formed in Australia? Finn is from New Zealand, but the other two original members were Australians. Neil's brother, Tim, joined the group later, before the two Americans who are currently with the band.
TTFN, y'all!


text: I wonder how many people drive down this street every day and don't realize what they're driving over……if they even notice them! These are the remnants of streetcar tracks. The streetcar continued down to the bottom of that street where it ended at the Hackensack River. Back in the day, the Village used to be THE destination for rich New Yorkers looking for (at the time) a bucolic place to spend their summers . Many of them built mansions and homes for themselves and their families. It's only about 15 minutes from NYC but back then I suppose it took a lot longer. The slideshow shows some old photos of the Village, with the exception of the streetcar, which just shows how one that serviced the Village might have looked. Note: One of the photos in the slideshow is of an all male 4th of July Committee from the very early 1900's. Founded in 1894, Ridgefield Park's Fourth of July parade and celebration prides itself as one of the oldest parades in the United States, and the oldest in New Jersey. The Committee is actually still in existence and, more importantly, is basically run by women….I just recently stepped down from my position on it. Just so you know! 🙂

Between The Lines : RISK
Havoc TV sit down with legendary graffiti artist, RISK (Kelly Graval) for Between The Lines, a candid little interview about his journey thus far. The artist talks about a chance encounter that led to him stealing some spray paint, ditching school and "getting up". I first read about RISK's work in college, flipping through the book, "Graffiti World" forming research for my dissertation. It only gave me a little blurb about how he was part of a seminal group of artist in the late 80's based in LA.
It's nice to hear more from the artist himself, seeing his current working space, walls racked with paint, the monologue interspersed with photos of his work. He tells some little anecdotes about working with some musicians during their peak like Michael Jackson and Ice Cube, before speaking on his future career. Press play below and enjoy.

URBANA — Almost 400 people turned out for a rally on the University of Illinois campus Wednesday night, calling for justice for Trayvon Martin and hoping to put a halt to similar deaths.
Martin was killed in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26. He had purchased candy at a convenience store and was returning to a gated community in the city when he was shot by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who has not been charged. Zimmerman told police he shot in self-defense.
After meeting in front of the Alma Mater statue, the participants made a silent walk around the Quad.
The UI's Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which organized the rally, unfurled a banner to lead the walk.
Anthony B. Sullers Jr. of Chicago, president of the Black Greek Council, said it was a good to know that so many students were taking a stand to support Martin and his family.
"What happened to Trayvon Martin was a tragedy, and to see all these people want to do something about it is a great feeling," Sullers said.
Many of those taking part wore hoodies, as Martin was wearing when he was shot. Some of them carried bags of Skittles, the candy Martin was carrying as he headed home from the convenience store. Others were carrying flowers or candles.
At the end of the walk, a series of speakers delivered emotional pleas for justice in the Florida case.
William Patterson, adjunct assistant professor of African-American studies at the UI, challenged the students present to use the education they are receiving at the university to help uplift society, something he calls becoming "I-powered."
"Become I-powered at the highest level so you can go to medical school to heal the hurt in the hood, caused by a corrupt health care system," Patterson said. "Become I-powered at the highest level so you can become the next lawyer, then judge to argue and decide laws within a cultural context. Become I-powered to be the next professor of African-American studies, to help argue the case for change against policies that continue to victimize the victims of killers who are in their legal rights to defend themselves."
The rally concluded with a few moments of prayer for Martin and his family.
Brendan Gilbert of Chicago, a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, said it was important for students to take a stand on the issue.
"If anyone wants to shoot or kill someone, they should be arrested and held for trial," Gilbert said. "We are rallying because justice is needed right now."
"That tragedy could have happened to my brother or my cousin," said Valentina Lana of Chicago. "Trayvon deserves justice, and we speaking out tonight show he is important to the African-American community."
Aaron Beasley of Harvey said he was taking part in the rally as a first step to bring about justice.
"We have the right to bear arms. We have the right to freedom of speech, but we don't have the right to wear what we want without being profiled. We shouldn't have to profile a 17-year-old boy just because he was wearing a hoodie," Beasley said.
"What happened in Florida was a very sad event, and I wanted to come to show support for him and his family," said Victoria Pride of Forest Park.
Royel Johnson of Chicago said the rally was an opportunity for UI students to make a statement about race relations.
"It is hard to remove race from the picture," Johnson said. "The stereotype of black males often depicts us in ways in which people feel threatened and intimidated. We aren't what we wear. We are much more than what people think of us and how people represent us."

Having been in the online lead business since 2003, we've heard some recurring assertions about insurance leads over the years. In this article, we're going to take a look at four of the most common online lead myths and tell you why we respectfully disagree.
Myth 1: You should generate all of your own leads.
File this myth under Wishful Thinking. You can start with family and friends, then branch out to neighbors and others in your community, but where do you go from there? If you want to keep growing your book, at some point you're going to have to get help to generate more leads. That may (and should) mean that you ask current customers for referrals. But it can also mean signing up for lead generation services like Hometown Quotes.
When you partner with lead providers(notice the plural tense because you should be testing multiple providers), you can choose how many leads you receive during the week and on the weekends, and if you're going out of town or don't want leads for a period of time for any reason, you can put them on hold. It's basically a pipeline where you control the flow. When you need more leads, you can get them. This is a great way to ensure that you'll always have leads to work.
Myth 2: The majority of leads are junk.
We agree that some companies sell online insurance leads that are junk. They may be months old, out of your sales region and/or generated through questionable methods, including prospects who aren't even looking for insurance. Our quibble with this statement is the inclusion of the words "the majority."
While there may be some lead generation companies out there that supply agents with less trustworthy leads, there are also lead providers who work hard to provide high-quality leads. Those higher-quality leads are composed of consumers who are actively shopping for insurance online. After these individuals fill out a form with their information, they are put through our qualification process, and, if they pass muster, they are sent to you in minutes. It's hard to get leads that are fresher or of higher quality than that. And in addition to controlling the number of leads you get, you can also select filters like location, income level, type of insurance being sought, etc., which means you can screen out leads that you're not interested in.
Myth 3: It's about lead generation, not lead management.
Purchasing leads that have been thoughtfully generated is important. But no matter how good a lead is, you still have to make the sale. How you work any lead can determine if a prospect converts or not.
For instance, timing can be very important. When you get a referral from a current customer, you may not feel a huge sense of urgency to contact the lead right away unless the referrer says something like, "She's online looking right now and wants to lock in her insurance today." In that case, you'd probably call her right away. When you purchase leads that are generated in real-time, that's how you should think of them—as immediate opportunities. If you don't contact a lead quickly and the prospect chooses to purchase her insurance elsewhere, the problem really wasn't with the lead; it was how that lead was managed.
In cases where the lead is not ready to buy, or has already purchased insurance, your lead management process should really start to kick-in. This is why having a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Nurturing Process is crucial. Unless the individual has asked you not to contact them again or to remove them from your email list, place them in an email drip campaign and build that relationship. That way when it is time for them to renew their policy, they are already familiar with your brand and likely to hear what you have to offer.
Myth 4: A good agent will automatically know how to convert an online lead.
As with any other skill, there is often a learning curve when working with online leads. No matter how good you are at selling insurance, working with leads is a numbers game. The more prospects you engage with, the more you are likely to convert.
To help you learn how to work with online leads, we have created this website—Hometown University. Here we provide easy-to-digest articles that contain tips and ideas about everything from how to close leads, to how to run a successful agency to the latest in technology that can help you grow and succeed. In addition, when you sign up for leads with Hometown Quotes, you'll be assigned a regional director whose job is to support in several ways: answering questions, serving as a sounding board and offering advice based on the best practices of our most successful agents. You'll have plenty of resources to help you gain the expertise you need to convert online leads.
Do you have other preconceptions about online leads that you'd like to discuss or questions about how to get the most from online leads? Let us know. We'll be happy to share our knowledge and work with you to make the most of your lead buying strategy.

Psalms 18:2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalms 40:17 But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God
The name "Jesus" is Yeshua in Hebrew is verbal derivative from "to rescue", "to deliver". That's why Jesus is known as our Savior. What a beautiful name!
Every time we call on the name of Jesus, the name that is above every other name, we are calling on Jesus (who is God Himself) to save us. Saving us is Jesus' job description! Amen!
Whatever the challenges are or whatever crisis we are facing— be it physical, financial or emotional—we can count on Him! The Bible in Rom 10:13 says "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Amen!
The word "saved" in Greek is "sozo" which mean to keep safe and sound; to rescue from danger or destruction; to save one from suffering from disease; to restore to health!
What do we need saving from today? Let's see Him in our situation, rescuing, protecting and providing for us! Amen! Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah!
"Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it." Isa 5: 13-14
God doesn't have to send anyone to hell; most have volunteered to go willingly. Many have spent a lifetime aspiring to go. They know the language, are mentally astute to the philosophy, the mechanics of being eternally separated from God and are more than qualified to accept a permanent position. In other words, anyone who puts their mind to it and is willing to do all that is required can surely achieve eternal damnation. God doesn't put anyone in hell because it's overbooked with prospects from every religious persuasion. There is no end of those who gladly embrace the damnable prerequisites. Please excuse the serious twisting of the obvious but the Lord implied that many will say to Him, "Lord, Lord, didn't we do lots of church stuff and have our name embossed on our industrial sized Bibles?" The notion of being acquainted with the essentials for eternal safety, for some, is too tedious and rarely enters their thinking. But after graduating to a more sincere doubting of the scripture or despising the commandments altogether, one becomes more than eligible for disposal. I'm still amazed that the unsuspecting people in the front of the line are being trampled by those who just can't wait to sign on.
Colombia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. A Colombian woman dies at the hands of her husband every four days. In 2011, more than 150 women were the victims of acid attacks in the country. So far in the Barranquilla region, 15 women have already been murdered by their husbands or partners this year.
The murder rate is so high in Colombia that it is ranked second in the world for femicide—with Guatemala at the top of the list. After Colombia, the list includes El Salvador, Bolivia and the Dominican Republic.
At the root of the problem is machismo, the belief that men are superior and that they have the right to dominate, control and abuse females. Male pride is certainly not unique to Latin countries, but because of certain unique cultural circumstances in this part of the world, machismo has triggered horrific levels of domestic violence, rape, sexual molestation and murder.
Because the Roman Catholic church has only men as leaders it produces MACHISMO.The Roman Catholic concept of the priest being the father who knows best and represents the pope has not allowed men to develop as men but to remain as children and as a result Spanish countries were and ruled by dictators not democracy. Yes the root problem is the Catholic Church and its way of doing things

If you couldn't tell from the beginning yesterday, this song is about Eärendil's journey across the sea. The text calls him a "mariner".
Eärendil has a lot of cool equipment. That's what the beginning is about. He sails far and long, through ice and fire, only to be beaten back time and time again. His wife, Elwing, is transported (by magic) to him, and brings a Silmaril. They bear for Valinor.
That's where we are now, at least.
First Mentions:
–the Narrow Ice: Another thing that is hard to find a reference to. Probably in the northern part of the sea, where an ice bridge once existed between Middle-earth and Aman.
–Night of Naught: What is it? I'm not sure. It sounds like a night when Eärendil hopelessly felt he would never find Aman.
–Otherworld: Someplace bad. That's my best guess, folks.
Let's get some quick background-refreshing here. Eärendeil was a half-elf, and Elwing, his wife, the granddaughter of Beren and Lúthien, making her…mostly elf. Elwing gives Eärendil the Silmaril that Beren won from Morgorth long ago. Eventually, Eärendil and Elwing have two sons, Elros and Elrond. We know Elrond.
Anyway, Eärendil is a very important character in the history of Middle-earth, and I'm sure we're going to learn a lot more about him.
Tolkien Songs In Real Life:
It's so long…
"her sails he wove of silver fair,
of silver were her lanterns made,
her prow he fashioned like a swan,
and light upon her banners laid.
In panoply of ancient kings,
in chainéd rings he armoured him;
his shining shield was scored with runes
to ward all wounds and harm from him;
his bow was made of dragon-horn,
his arrows shorn of ebony,
of silver was his habergeon,
his scabbard of chalcedony;
his sword of steel was valiant,
of adamant his helmet tall,
an eagle-plume upon his crest,
upon his breast an emerald.
Beneath the Moon and under star
he wandered far from northern strands,
bewildered on enchanted ways
beyond the days of mortal lands.
From gnashing of the Narrow Ice
where shadow lies on frozen hills,
from nether heats and burning waste
he turned in haste, and roving still
on starless waters far astray
at last he came to Night of Naught,
and passed, and never sight he saw
of shining shore nor light he sought.
The winds of wrath came driving him,
and blindly in the foam he fled
from west to east, and errandless,
unheralded he homeward sped.
There flying Elwing came to him,
and flame was in the darkness lit;
more bright than light of diamond
the fire upon her carcanet.
The Silmaril she bound on him
and crowned him with the living light,
and dauntless then with burning brow
he turned his prow; and in the night
from Otherworld beyond the Sea"
Not even halfway there, I present:
Eäris pt.2
(Iris – Goo Goo Dolls)
That's right, we're still going to be with this song for a while. Get comfy.
I can really just sum up the beginning by saying that Eärendil has all the swag. Really. ALL THE SWAG. Dragon-horn bow? Check. Ebony arrows? Check. Silver…thing? Check. Scabbard made with a thing that I'm pretty sure I mispronounced? Check. You see how this goes.
And then he sails a lot. In the history, Elwing's home is destroyed while Eärendil is away, and she brings the Silmaril to him magically. He's searching for Aman, and now needs the help of the Valar to reclaim his home. No pressure.
More on this all tomorrow.
Words My Computer Didn't Like:
It's nice to see that the names like Eärendil and Elwing have already been brought up and spellchecked. It makes this step easier.
"The Silmaril she bound on him and crowned him with the living light, and dauntless then with burning brow he turned his prow; and in the night from Otherworld beyond the Sea…"

Aquavit, Mayfair
4th January 2017
CHEAT Sheet
£80/head with wine and aperitifs
Things I've been colossally wrong about in 2016:
1) Brexit
2) The US election result
3) Nordic food
The second in particular has put me in a very difficult situation. I lost a bet over the election result, and now at some point in 2017 I'll have to dance in Trafalgar Square until I've scored at least £5 off the crowd.
After this series of global and personal political surprises, at the end of November I finally got a shock result that made me happy.
It turns out that Nordic food is delicious and accessible. Knowing very little about it, I presumed fishy flavours, bitter rye, and a lack of decadence. I was almost afraid to ask to ask publicly for company at dinner at Aquavit, lest I be shunned for my unchoosy food sluttiness. I half-deceived and half blackmailed my so-called friends into joining me, and in the end got two girls with the initials NJ to be party to my table at Aquavit during its opening week.
I was so wrong about everything. The menu was wildly inviting and inclusive, it's execution devastatingly brilliant. It was one of the best meals of 2016 and has become our new benchmark of goodness for dinner buddy NJ. Dinner at Veneta? Not as good as Aquavit. Lunch at Luca? Not a damn lick on Aquavit.
Situated in a newly developed pedestrian no-mans-land by Piccadilly, with enormous glass frontage outside and sumptuous flooring on the inside from Stone World, Aquavit is so pleasing. Dressed in warm timbers, with chestnut and riverbed-blue furnishings, it's a little reminiscent of Cipriani group's Downtown Mayfair There's Nordic rug art on the walls, but otherwise is more London than scandi. It's a visual precursor to the kitchen philosophy of pitch-perfect, dressed-up loveliness.
It's worth mentioning that this is the London branch of a highly successful, two-Michelin-star restaurant of the same name in New York.
Prawns smogarsbord came on a highly complementary sweetish bread. To compare it to prawn cocktail would be to compare a donkey to a unicorn. Sublime.
Scallops were raw and slivered, with kohlrabi and lovage accenting their creaminess. This was a brilliant alternative to Roka-style yuzu or Peruvian citrus.
We adored the sweet-salt flavours of the dehydrated beetroot with ash and goat's milk sorbet. So on trend - charcoal is the new black.
A perfect cut for venison was used for the tartare, soft in all places and without any chewiness. Served with blueberries, lingonberries and juniper, the sweet-sour and herbal sang beautifully with the meat flavours.
The starters (plus a small measure of akvavit) put me in a state of extreme positivity. I recalled the close proximity of Scandinavia to St Petersburg. Perhaps I should have hopped across the border to Finland during my last trip to Russia. I could have done that instead of going to the banya. I would have been spared a mortifying situation involving a lost towel, ice water and a bushel of herbs, and the whole world would have been better off.
On to mains. Let's get the lamb out of the way. It was alkaline and very pink, with a sweet-sour lingonberry compote. Good. But the duck was excellent. We wanted to build a monument to the duck to commemorate its succulence and its savagely brilliant flavour. It came with parsnips, treated Rowanberries, and a gravy made from its own juices.
On the recommendation from the waiter we ordered Janssen's surprise, a side made with grated potatoes, cream, anchovy, and surprise ingredient cinnamon. It radiated comfort, warmth, depth, and the impression of gravy. It's like a culinary a hot water bottle. NJ squared truly appreciated the cinnamon.
Anchovy vinaigrette dressed up the broccoli without the usual heapings of butter and garlic.
We three girls had room for more food after three starters and two mains, hence added turbot to our order. It came with brown butter, and fresh grated horseradish which added a third dimension to the flavours. If you do not feel like eating meat, this is a great lighter option.
Unable to choose between the warm chocolate cake and the arctic bird's nest, we asked our waiter to counsel us through this difficult choice.
He paused. "If you had to choose between two boyfriends, would you choose one like chocolate or one like goats cheese and blueberries?"
Funny, I've never compared my past beaus to food before. Luckily the NJs had no trouble doing that, and along came the fantastic arctic bird's nest, a dessert conceptualised by Chef Emma Bengtsson.
A woven nest of crisp pastry made with honey supported a goat's milk ice cream egg, replete with a yellow centre. Littered about were blueberries, chocolate bramble and dehydrated berries. It was whimsical and wonderful, and has filled me with respect for all the blueberries and goats milk boyfriends out there.
We asked for some ice cream and a teeny scoop came a sake-esque cup. Delicious, but we probably could have eaten more of it.
All in all an outstanding meal, with truly excellent service to boot. This is by far one of my favourite restaurants in London and arguably the best new opening in London in the fine dining category this year.

Health complications and diseases are a part of growing age. Physical and mental health, both are affected as a man grows older but there is one more aspect of health which gets affected with age. It is the sensual health of a man. When a man is young he is able to stay in bed longer and satisfies his partner but with increasing age the libido takes a back seat and the sensual urge diminishes. This leads to a sensual dysfunction commonly known as erectile dysfunction. However, the female partner may still feel the need to be caressed and be loved.
This could lead to disturbances in a relationship and it might be a possibility that the wife starts an extra marital affair with someone. If this sounds terrifying to you then you, might need a solution that can cure your erectile dysfunction and lets you perform in bed. Our popular pharmacy has one such solution called Fildena for you. Fildena will boost up your erection and helps you in performing your best in bed.
Fildena is an astounding remedy for the successful treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Fildena helps a man, irrespective of his age to combat flaccid erection. Fildena improves the flow of blood towards the male genitals that result in a rigid and hard erection for a prolonged time. This leads to improve d sensual performance and thus satisfying you and your partner completely.
Fildena comprises of Sildenafil citrate as the main component. Sildenafil belongs to the class of PDE-5 inhibitor. Sildenafil blocks the degradation of cGMP by blocking the action of the PDE-5 enzyme. Upon sensual stimulation, the male body tends to release nitric oxide that leads to the formation of cGMP. An excess amount of cGMP mounts up in the corpus cavernosum of the male genitals leading to increased blood flow there. This blood flowing through the corpus cavernosum gets trapped there and leads to a hard and rigid erection.
Fildena is commercially available in a dosing strength of 50mg and 100mg accessible in the form of tablets. To cure your erectile troubles you need to take a single tablet of Fildena orally about 60 minutes prior to making love with your partner. The effect of a single dose of Fildena remains for around 4-6 hours, therefore, maintaining a dose of 24 hours is essential before taking the next dose of Fildena. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of Fildena. In the case of overdose seek medical help immediately.
The noxious effects commonly seen with the use of Fildena are nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurring of vision, stomach upset, stomach discomfort, pelvic pain, indigestion, and dyspepsia.
Safety measures to follow with the use of Fildena are avoiding driving, the operation of heavy machinery, boozing alcohol, taking sedatives, fat containing meals, and grapefruit juice. A man taking nitrate medications should stay away from Fildena. A man suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, porphyria or any renal or hepatic condition should not use Fildena. A man below the age of 18 years should not use Fildena.
Buy Fildena online from our trusted pharmacy Alldaychemsit24.com at the best price and get fast delivery at your doorstep.

Video games have been 'in development' since the 1950s, and they have come a long way from their beginnings as private projects constructed by programmers and engineers to the massive commercial entertainment industry they are today. For a very long time games have been considered a pretty trivial entertainment reserved for beefy arcades or anxious teenage boys with inch-thick glasses, but as we all know, video games grew.
If we rev up to 88 miles per hour and go back to 1972, only a few months after pong was released, we could witness, first hand, those first baby steps towards the mega industry we saturate with our pocket money today. I'm talking about a company named Magnavox and their release of the first 'home gaming system', which was named the Odyssey.
Though the console was apparently crippled by misinformation that it would not play on all television sets (if not because it looked like it belonged more in a lab then in anyone's living rooms), it still sold a significant 100k units, as it played Pong on a television screen. We see more individual console released, each with specific but basic games, but it wasn't until four years later in 1972 that the ability to play more than one game on a console was introduced. Cartridges caused a huge change in video games, with the 'Fairchild Channel F' being released with a number of different games available to play. Suddenly there was market potential to increase sales by selling individual, and cheaper to construct games. Moving forward again, it wasn't until 1983 that we see any familiar names, such as Nintendo releasing their first console, the Famicom, in Japan. Prior to this, Atari had the largest market share, and the rest of game developers were generally independent developers.
It was also in 1983 that America almost lost their market for video games entirely; due to a lack of interest caused by a general disenchanted feeling towards the fledgling industry it almost collapsed. This crash spread through to 1986, at which point Nintendo took a big risk and ported the Famicom to the US as the Nintendo Entertainment System or 'NES' for short. It had been slightly updated, but was in essence the same console. By taking this risk, Nintendo helped revitalise the industry in America and the west. The NES was a strong console through to 1990, with another recognisable name popping into the equation, Sega appeared as the strongest competition to the NES with their new 'Genesis' console. Pong The Fairchild Channel F The competition between the companies forced both to improve the hardware developed, in 1991 the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released, which had updated power, graphics and in general better games.
This rivalry continued to push Nintendo and Sega into creating more technical machines, but another 4 years later and another of the biggest names in consoles pushed into the market: In 1995 the Playstation was released by Sony and, though Japan was slow to take to it, in the west the Playstation was a huge hit. Sony, Nintendo and Sega were all now competing for the market share, and though they were still considered a big development company, Sega was coming out worst in the battle of the consoles, their new console the 'Saturn' did poorly and in 1996 when Nintendo released their answer to the Playstation, the Nintendo 64, Sega were losing more then they could afford to. Their last attempt at a console, the Sega Dreamcast, is widely acknowledged as technically brilliant, but unfortunately it still did not sell well enough to keep Sega in the 'race' and they stopped releasing new consoles since, becoming a video game development company instead. The Playstation 2 was so succesful, it was even released in this tacky pink colour. Again we move further forward to 1999, and we now see the huge effect that Sony had on opening up the market even more, when the Playstation 2 opened with a phenomenal reception for both die hard gamers and casual alike. The Playstation succeeded with good marketing and a good image, the added bonus of having a DVD player inside the console gave a full impression of a home entertainment machine, and was an obvious incentive for many people who otherwise would not have been interested. This generation of consoles brought the Nintendo's Gamecube into life, and we saw the inclusion of Microsoft with their console, the X-Box. The Xbox itself brought with it many new ideas and improvements upon the basis that Sony, Nintendo and Sega were building up. Their console came with it's own storage device, and the online system was developed into an easy and fun experience. Xbox Live was launched, which suddenly levelled the playing field between consoles and PC games, which had been online for several years before. The market for video games seems to have grown exponentially during this period while consumers were waiting for the latest generation of consoles, the generation we are currently in. First to be released was Microsoft's second attempt, the Xbox 360 in the Christmas 2005, which boasted High Definition gaming, improved power and an even better online service.
Then we saw the Nintendo Wii released almost a year later in 2006 and since their launch they have pushed a marketing campaign that was even more successful than the Playstation 2's. It seems the Wii has managed to introduce the aspects of casual gaming into mainstream media, people who had not been interested in games even after the success of the Playstation 2, have been introduced to new types of games, like fitness and sports games that emulate their real life counterpart in more than just visuals. The Wii has a unique system that defies conventional console controllers by being motion sensitive, which opens up a whole new way to control and interact with video games. The Playstation 3 was released last year, in 2007, but it has not had a high critical success and the console is very expensive. Despite this, it is still selling in huge amounts in Japan, across America and in Europe.
To this day, however, the Playstation 2 is still the best selling console of all time, though the Wii seems to be making a fair attempt to break that record. I believe that games now are more popular because they're becoming more realistic, and when realism is not applicable, more interesting and fun, and people are now beginning to see video games as a good method of entertainment, and equally as a level of escapism.

I promised some examples and here they are. Please excuse the poor picture quality- they were taken with my iPhone before I had a blog.
Example 1: Reupholster Living Room Cornice Boards/Window Valances
As you may have guessed, this picture was not originally intended as a photo of the valance. Forgive me. The valances were already in place from the previous owner. However, they were covered in some strange textured cream burlap fabric along with matching curtains that were velcroed to the boards. I found fabric online and simply recovered them by snipping and stapling right to the board. The white panels were stolen from the upstairs bedroom and I eventually stapled those on as well. Stapling was a shortcut and much easier than hand stitching them on. Originally I wanted to make new cornice boards that were bigger and fit the window proportions better but I had too much on my plate and got lazy. This was a much quicker and easier fix.
Example 2: Throw pillows
That is actually only one pillow (front and back). My grand plan was to make a bunch of new pillow covers that matched the window valances and other colors in the room. To date only one has been made and that was months ago. The major snag (pun intended) occurred when my sewing machine's bobbin case popped out and I smashed it into bits trying to force it back in the wrong way. All is now recovered after some new parts and time spent at the sewing machine doctor but the initial excitement got lost somewhere along the way.
Example 3: Table Runner
The dining room is unfinished and the table not set properly. This runner was a rush job that I wanted to get done before Thanksgiving and the arrival of the in-laws. Only the weekend before had we scored the dining room table at an antique store for an amazing $120! I refinished the top and needed to dress it up a bit. Enter some clearance fabric and the sewing machine! I thought it turned out pretty well and it has more shimmer to it in person.
Example 4: Dog Bed
My orginal intentions were to use these two contrasting fabrics for the pesky throw pillows mentioned above. But I wasn't a big fan of the texture and weight of the fabric so I decided to try my hand at sewing a dog bed and if it didn't turn out then no loss. My first mistake occurred in the measuring department. As you can see, it appears that I measured for a Great Dane sized dog bed instead of one for my tiny little Lab. The finished product is stuffed not only with his original dog bed but also three, yes THREE, standard size bed pillows! He seems to approve though. The second mistake was not having my supplies on hand. I did an envelope enclosure at one end with the intention of attaching velcro to keep it shut. Did I have velcro? Of course not, as you can see in the above right photo. But I'm happy to report that Kmart came to my rescue and the velcro is holding strong.
So there are a few of my craftiness attempts. Obviously I'm no Martha Stewart and I'm sure she would recoil in horror and the idea of stapling curtain panels directly to the cornice board. Eh consider me a pioneer in the craft world : )

Y'know what I hate about blogging? The fact that I can't get any in during the week — thank it all to the fact that my body's wore out and tired by the time I sit down on my chair to get on the computer, that I can't even pull out the mental fortitude to even read anything because my brain can't catch up. The only time I can do anything mind-buzzing is on weekends, which is pathetic!
Before I move further on to anything, I want to link to a blog that my good ol' buddy created here at WordPress, called [Insert Blog Title Here]. Yes, click it; it's a real blog, not some hoax (if you think so because of the awkward title name).
Now, onto the NBA. The MVP picture, as for what I know, is still written up for anybody's ball game, but the media seems to differ. They've nearly closed the door on LeBron James' and Kevin Garnett's respective candidacies for the award, while giving all the grapes and other fruits (perhaps the grapefruits) to Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.
Now, kids, did anyone expect the Hornets to play as well as they did this season? *Raises hand with glee* Yeah, I predicted them as the dark horse for this year. With Peja Stojakovic, David West and Tyson Chandler healthy, the team's like a mobster out to get any wise guys (like the Spurs, y'know?) that get in their way. They've managed to surprise, upset, and utterly dominate teams the whole season. And it's all led by the little guy that's running the point for the team — Chris Paul, in his third year in the league out of Wake Forest. He provides a horde of points, a cavalcade of assists, and a maul of steals. He's a monster, and barring injuries, he could become the next great 'one' in the league (with him and Deron Williams battling it out as the best point guard in the league for years to come). What I see the pales in comparison to Kobe's MVP candidacy is not that the Hornets are a lower seed than the Lakers for this year's playoffs but for the reason that Paul is not the only one lifting up the Hornets. Where's the credit given to Stojakovic, West and Chandler? The SWC (No, not the Southwestern Conference in any college sports divisions)? In the words of late, great Rodney Dangerfield, They get no respect. Could it be any truer? Give them some credit for a lot of it. Sure, without Paul, maybe they wouldn't have gotten nearly this far. But ask yourself this: without the SWC, would Paul have gotten this team the same length? Hell to the no!
Kobe and the Lake Show locked up the Western Conference's number one seed last night with a win over Sacramento (no surprise), but they've showed the magnitude of a winning team the whole year, and you can't question that — you can only question the fact that they've lost quite a few games to teams they should easily beat. I've been skeptical about the Lakers the whole season and I'm just now jumping on their "they're good, they're good," bandwagon, instead of the "eh, overrated, they'll lose to the Spurs, easily" bandwagon. Kobe has made his MVP a study of reason, with the team carrying abilities he's comprised this year, and the fact that the team is on top of the West; it's all saying something, shorty. Kobe's had these team carrying skills the past few years, while the Lakers — without Shaq — were playing not even near on par to what some people (more like: Lakers fans) expected of them. Once 2007 started, the Lakers took a step forward, unleashed the man encompassing the post (Andrew Bynum), and three months later they welcomed Pau Gasol onto the team. This team is going to be scary in the post season, especially with the perennial MVP, Kobe Bryant, keeping them in games. While I'm not 100 percent sold on the team's abilities to make it to the NBA Finals, I'm still — at least I think I am — sold on the statement that they're a damn good, maybe even great team.

Have you guys heard about Pink Slime? Apparently, I am new to the outrage. It is an unappetizing appearing concoction created with leftover beef trimmings. These trimmings were formerly only used in dog food because of their likelihood of containing e coli.In the 1990s, an industrial process was created to run the trimmings through a centrifuge (to separate the fat) and treat it with a "puff" of ammonia gas which increases the pH and kills bacteria. The resulting product is called boneless lean beef trimmings or pink slime. This is then used as filler in ground beef. It looks pretty gross, but to be fair, raw hamburger, itself, isnt real appetizing.
The American Beef Institute says "The fact is, BPI's Lean Beef Trimmings (BLBT) is beef. The beef trimmings that are used to make BLBT are absolutely edible. In fact, no process can somehow make inedible meat edible; it's impossible. In reality, the BLBT production process simply removes fat and makes the remaining beef more lean and suited to a variety of beef products that satisfy consumers' desire for leaner foods. In fact, BLBT is a sustainable product because it recovers lean meat that would otherwise be wasted. The beef industry is proud to efficiently produce as much lean meat as possible from the cattle we raise. It's the right thing to do and it ensures that our products remain as affordable as we can make them while helping to feed America and the world."
And the USDA says it is safe: "All USDA ground beef purchases must meet the highest standards for food safety," the agency said in a statement. "USDA has strengthened ground beef food safety standards in recent years and only allows products into commerce that we have confidence are safe."
Pink Slime is in apparently 70% of all ground beef sold in supermarkets. It is in the National School Lunch Program though McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King have announced that they will no longer use the filling. Here is the kicker for me… it is not required to be identified on food packaging. Is Pink Slime probably ok to ingest, I am leaning toward yes, but still, consumers should be able to make that decision for themselves and avoid it. If I was in the 30% of ground beef sellers that didn't use it, I would put giant stickers on all my beef "Pink Slime FREE." I would then charge an extra dollar per pound for the sticker. Haha. Capitalism at work. You can read a review of the taste of a pink slime infused burger versus a burger sans pink slime here.
By the way, my grandfather was a cattle farmer. When you go to the cattle sale, if the cow is young and healthy, another cattle farmer buys it. If it is old and decrepit, it is purchased for meat. If you ever have the chance to buy meat from a farmer who has "fed it out" (in either grass or corn (with most farmers it will be both) but grass is leaner) for his personal consumption, jump on the opportunity. It is soooo much better.

Daisy adores stickers, my house is covered in them (and usually my coat, bag and shoes too). We don't usually do anything with the stickers though, but last week I made Daisy have quiet time and we sat and did the sticker workbook together.
But this isn't crafting I hear you say… OK, I'll show you what Phil and I have been crafting this week…
We've been making our wedding invitations. I used gold 'wedding invitation' stickers on navy blue card, and used one of my heart punches for the navy blue hearts. We bought some nice cream printer paper and printed the inside to the invites and our separate wedding information sheets.
I'll also be making place cards, table plan, wedding favours and bus tickets!

Tempe, AZ – The Arizona Wildcats, in one game, have ended the hopes for Arizona State to ever recruit a top player from Arizona. The Sun Devils came out in front of their home stadium and played one of the worst games ever seen in the history of the territorial cup.
"They were absolutely terrible," said Jason Weaver who had two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. "It was so easy, it didn't even feel like football. I knew when we went up by 28 in the first quarter, they weren't going to throw to me for the rest of the game. And honestly, I'm glad coach didn't throw to me. Scoring against Arizona State would be like dunking on a retard in a game of basketball. There's no way you can you look good."
Weaver's fellow Heisman contender Dane Wright played so well, perhaps the most perfect performance ever by an Arizona QB, that he did not take a single snap in the second half.
In only one half of play, Dane was 16/22, 6 TDs and zero INTs. He also had 8 carries for 44 yards and a TD. Scoring 7 TDs in one half is an Arizona record, and Wright probably could have scored 15 or 20 if left to play. For some reason the ASU secondary could not cover anyone, even the Douche was making catches. Dwayne Jones showed why he is still considered a dangerous reciever as he had four catches for 123 yards and TDs including an incredible endzone catch (see image). Dexter St-Jacques also had a SICK stiff arm against a weak ASU defender.
They are a young team," said Wright after the game. "I think, well, I hope. Their secondary has a lot to learn, and it's good thing they have those six redshirt freshman QBs, because their seniors are not very talented."
Taking over in the second half, Casey Cook gave a taste of what might be coming next year going 7/8 for 129 yards and a touchdown (a very special TD, but more later). The team was pretty sure that they could have put Weaver at QB and he could have passed for 300.
Defensively, Patrick Rodriguez coming off a very questionable suspension, played like a man possessed. He didn't make many tackles (but Arizona State had so many 3 and outs, he didn't have chance) but he made the most of them. Including on sack that was absolutely brutal, it's a miracle that their QB did not get hurt.
"Did I plagiarize that sack?" said Rodriguez after the game. "It was actually John Lewis, we switched jerseys before the play. Am I going to be suspended now?"
Though Rodriguez jokes, the TA who make the false claim of plagiarism is now on trial with a number of pending charges thanks to a few phone calls made by local Boostser Mike B. The charges include: fraud, perjory, wire fraud, kidnapping, and second degree murder.
Returning to the game, the ASU game might just be a sign of apocaylpse because: Andrew Schlicher scored….twice. See video:

From one of my escapades, I met her,
It was a deserted path,
Meters away from the community church,
Alone, she was walking,
She espied me, then started stalling.
Rugged garments, tatted skin,
Looked unkempt, dirty like a trash bin,
Stone faced- looking mean.
Where have you been?
Attempted to talk to her,
She stared like she had seen a ghost,
I could tell she was lost,
I stretched out my arm,
Had to explain I mean no harm,
You could use my help at this moment, I offered,
She looked away, didn't seem bothered,
You look cold, I told her,
She nodded, as if to concur,
Mind if I take you to my home? It's not far,
I know, you're scared, was headed to the bar,
For a couple of drinks, and to meet my buddies,
Who had promised me lots of goodies,
But since I've met your cold poor soul,
Allow me be kind like the Good Samaritan,
My home is as warm as wool, unlike this cold place,
You too could become my good buddy,
She smiled, maybe she found that funny.
I stretched out my hand again.
Wanna come? She shook her head,
Didn't want to come to my house,
Could tell she was timid as a mouse,
Her blue eyes had seen more melancholy,
Distress, despair and desolation, nothing jolly.
Abruptly, she faced the West, and went away.

It was a hard weekend. On Friday, the hubs received a rejection letter regarding his application for the new job, despite being told that he was "in" and that everything was a go. He immediately sent out emails with numerous question marks in them to the folks who've been telling him all along that he's golden, and he even received a hurried response from one of them stating that he was not aware of this change and it would be looked into. After much of him pulling his hair out while explaining all this to me, he gets another email from HR saying that the rejection letter was mistakenly sent and that he was still the only candidate for the position. So everything worked out. Sort of.
Today they said that they'd only hire him for $10k less than originally promised– and I could rant and rave on this matter but at this time, we feel it's best to focus less on the money and more on the fact that this is still a major promotion, with a lot more money a year than we are accustomed to having, and my husband really wants to do this.
Friday night we watched Juno and something about it seriously depressed me. I'm not sure if it was the ending or the surge of hormones from me PMS-ing this week, but something was amiss and I just bawled and bawled and bawled.
Saturday, the hubs and kid went to the Discovery Center while I slept in and hung out in my semi-cleaned home all by myself. To their dismay it was a free day and thus overly crowded, so they didn't stay out long. We spent the rest of the weekend being lazy, working on our computers, playing the Sims, and hanging out.
Tonight we watched Lars and the Real Girl. From the time I saw the first preview of this movie, I was in love with the concept. It was so good. At the risk of sounding completely grandmother-ish, I just adore that Ryan Gosling. Speaking of being grandmotherly, I also started knitting again and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my June issue of Better Homes and Gardens in the mail. How's that for being elderly?
Speaking of things coming in the mail… I bit the bullet last week and ordered the overpriced nail polish and odorless nail polish remover from Honeybee Gardens. First I must say that they are not kidding about odorless. It baffles the mind. Second I must warn you that the polish is SO thin that it took me 4 coats when I polished my nails tonight and even then, they didn't look that hot. But I did get a compliment from the hubs. I think he likes it when I am womanly, no matter if it costs me $7 a bottle or not.
I am so looking forward to this weekend. I'm planning a dinner for hubs' 31st birthday and inviting close family and friends. Then the following Thursday night, we're headed out to the mountains for a few days or leisure, so that's nice too. I'm excited. I have loads of plans now with the family over the next few weeks. It feels good to be around those who love us so much. We're so incredibly fortunate that we have that nearby. I know I've been saying a lot recently that I was a little bummed about the Atlanta thing when it turned out that it wasn't a necessary move… but the truth is that I would ache to be here if I were there. I mean, the excitement of starting over, and in a hip place where we could make a new hip life for ourselves, was fun to fret over for awhile. And I guess a part of me was let down a bit that the chance to start fresh wasn't an option.
I realize now though, that through the grace and mercy of God, we always have a chance to start fresh. We have been handed a blessing with this work-from-home gig Mike's scored. Plain and simple, any way you spin it, it's a blessing for us. It's been a tough road but it makes the reward all the more sweeter. So don't be fooled when you hear me speak of missed opportunities in far away places 🙂 I'm actually really pleased, despite what I say, to be in a place I love with people I love, with a new life in Christ, with a new hope for tomorrow, and all the while with a promise of a better and more secure financial situation.
I just wish the money would start rolling in again so I can go to Gatlinburg and not worry about every little thing we do, HA!

Date: 22/03/2018
On Wednesday 14 March, local businesses received an update from Fastershire at the Herefordshire Broadband Connectivity Forum.
Many businesses in Herefordshire often find it difficult to remain productive with slow broadband and with the recent weather conditions, this has meant individuals have had to try and work from home where broadband connectivity may be worse coupled with no mobile signal to make calls. To address this, the Chamber decided it would be beneficial to organise an event with Fastershire to discuss their current strategy to roll-out faster broadband.
On Wednesday 14 March, Sophia Haywood - the Chamber's Policy Manager, welcomed businesses to the event and gave an update on how the Chamber is working with local businesses to address issues with connectivity and mobile not-spots.
Matt Smith, Operations Manager for Fastershire, kicked off with who Fastershire is and an update on their broadband rollout.
Fastershire is a partnership between Herefordshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council to bring faster broadband to the two counties where private sector investment alone was not enough.
Funding is provided by the two authorities and three central government departments which are the Broadband Delivery UK (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport), European Regional Development Fund (Department for Communities & Local Government) and European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Fastershire's strategy includes four stages. In the first stage, they wanted to understand the provision of superfast broadband connectivity by commercial providers, primarily British Telecom (BT). Stage 2 then saw Fastershire heavily investing in BT to deliver superfast broadband to 85% of the county.
Currently at Stage 3, Fastershire are investing £9.7m in BT and Gigaclear to deliver faster broadband to all geographical areas which will take coverage to 97% of the county.
If you haven't heard of them before, Gigaclear uses their own infrastructure and are able to provide up to 1000Mbps, that's 28x faster than the UK average.
The project aims to be completed by 2019/2020, when all residents and businesses will be able to order the broadband service they need. Matt Smith seemed to have realistic expectations of the roll-out and noted that the scale of the deployment was a huge endeavour. While the plan is to be complete by March 2020, it is not inconceivable even now to expect some small scale slippage in some areas. Nevertheless people will be able to place orders.
On top of this, Fastershire are also delivering workshops, training and reviews for businesses to take part in to ensure they get the best out of their broadband, which a lot of businesses in the room had not yet attended.

Los Angeles International airport, also known as LAX, is often called the "Gateway to the Pacific Rim", with over sixty million passenger coming and going every year through its terminals. It also makes it one of the most secure airports, especially after the Black Wave Event. A note that Pen Delaney didn't think about.
In a small room with re-enforced glass, Pen slouches in the chair, contemplating his next step. Outside, a female officer walks past the window for a second time for seemingly no good reason. From behind a cubical across the office, a female office worker takes another peek around the end of her make-shift wall.
Pen sees them and smiles, wondering if charm and looks alone will get him out of this. It used to, but not as often these days. Not like he's let himself go or anything. For a guy pushing 50, his has the body of a soldier half his age. Although his short, blonde hair has a few grey hairs in there, and is getting a little long, at least it isn't fading away. He rubs his face, feeling the day's stubble, as well as the wrinkles. He nods slightly, acknowledging that his face shows his age. It also reminds him of the life he's lead, good and bad. His light brown eyes darken at that thought. He catches a ghostly reflection of himself in the glass and closes his eyes. He finds it more and more difficult to look himself in the eyes.
When he opens his eyes, that female security officer stops outside the door, talking to the other security officer watching him. She talks to him, but she checks him out a few times. His eyes and face lighten a little. He pushes the chair back and puts his cowboy boot-clad feet on the table. His boots are newish, but well used. His faded denim blue jeans are old and fit him like an expensive pair of gloves, snug in the right places and very comfortable. His once black leather jacket, now faded to a dark grey, would take a Hollywood costumer days and hundreds of dollars to make it look like this. It only took him a few decades. The shirt underneath is heavy and hides his solid physique, among other things.
The female officer glances in.
Pen nods.
The back of the chair slips out from under him.
He crashes to the floor, with only is cowboy boots sticking up above the top of the table.
The female officer covers her mouth, trying not to laugh.
Pen casually crosses his boots. His hand appears over the top of the table and gives a little wave.
Even from this position, he can see her smile and giggle. If there's one thing he's learned, even when you fall, do it with class and always, always, keep your cool.
The door opens. "What happened in here?" a male voice asks.
Pen notes the ill-fitting pants and scuffed shoes. "Gravity, Officer Drongo. Gravity." he replies in a Australian accent.
Pen casually gets himself to his feet, picks up the chair, sets it down and plops back down in it. On the other side of the table is a security officer, probably the same age as him, but has been in the same position too long. His seniority has made him a slob, although most probably wouldn't notice. The scuff tops of his shoes, the pants that should have been retired for a new pair with a wider waist, the too-tight shirt, the jowls that pour over his barely buttoned collar, and the sweat on his fore head, even though he barely walked twelve feet.
"That's Officer Droogan, Mr. Delaney." Droogan replies. He places a four-by-two foot, black custom plastic case with a long strap attached to each end on the table in front of Pen. "Recognize this?"
"Yup. That's mine." Pen replies casually, but like a duck, whose calm and cool on top of the water, he's treading like crazy under the surface.
"Would you care to open it for me please Mr. Delaney." Droogan asks, straightening up, looking superior.
"Why? You a'ready looked in it."
Droogan slams his hands down on the table. "Because I want you to open it!" he huffs.
Pen shrugs his shoulders. "Right." He sits forward, opens the latches and lifts the lid. Careful placed amid heavy-gauge foam is a three-foot long piece of what looks like iron. It has a custom-molded grip in the center, with hand-guard on each end. Above and below the grip, the piece is thick and solid for about six inches before it tapers down to a baseball-sized knob at each end. It looks like a bow made of iron, with the ends chopped off. "Ta-da." he adds with little fanfare.
"Pick it up." Droogan orders.
Pen's patience begins to wear thin. "If ya have ah point ta make Drongo, make it."
Droogan slams his fist down on the table and points at Pen, his cubby finger waggling a foot away from Pen's face like an ugly sausage. "You are a threat! And now, you're unco-operative and combative!" he straightens up, bursting with bloated, self-important pride. "According to the Patriot Act, I can hold you indefinitely until it is determined if you are threat to the United States–"
An insistant knock at the door cuts Droogan off. His inflated pride disappears. His face turns red, enraged. He whips around to see the female officer at the door. She waves to him to come out. The look on her face indicates it's something important.
Droogan turns back to Pen. "We aren't finished."
"Ah think we are, mate." Pen replies, looking out the window at a larger, intimidating, important-looking man.
Droogan follows Pen's gaze, but when he turns back, he tries to put on a big show of confidence. "You're not going anywhere!" he slams his fist down on the table again, "I promise!" He turns, whips open the door and storms out, nearly knocking over the female officer.
"Those are the promises that can't be kept." Pen murmurs absently. Once uttered, the memory attached to it rushes back. His claim exterior falters until he pushes those memories back down where they belong.
The female officer opens the door. "You can go now sir.
Pen smiles. "Beauty." He closes his case, gets up, snatches it up with ease and heads out the door. "Hooroo." he says as he nods when passing the female officer.
"Ok" she says, watching him and his tight jeans walk away.
When he walks past Droogan, who glances up from a thick booklet of paperwork, he gives his a little salute.
Droogan pushes the paperwork off the table and rises to go after Pen.
"Officer Droogan!" a voice booms through the office.
The area falls silent. Droogan recoils, as if physically stuck. Pen stumbles to a stop, looking towards the source of the voice.
Winston Stark is an intimidating presence wherever he is. Despite looking like he could tear the head of Droogan with one hand, he has a cool demeanor. He doesn't even have to move. He just stands there, a big, slick, bruiser in his custom charcoal black suit that is several hundred steps up from the average Feds' standard issue two-piece. All he does is tilt his head.
Droogan sits back down, burying his face in his hands.
Pen approaches Stark, offers his hand. "G'day, mate!"
"Shut up and move." Stark whispers as he shakes Pen's hand.
"Oh, ok."
They walk out of the office, leaving the women to swoon and Droogan to plot ways to spread his misery.
Stark leads Pen out of LAX, towards a private hanger. His plastic case slung over his shoulder.
Stark smiles, patting Pen on the shoulder. "I'm glad you changed your mind about joining my team, Pen."
"Sorry mate. I didn't change my mind."
"Oh. When I got word you left, I thought you were–"
"Nope. Here on personal business."
"I'm truly sorry to hear that. I was hoping you'd be my fifth."
"C'mon mate, you know ah don't play well with others. Even when I did, I didn't."
Stark nods. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Pen stops short of Stark's private hanger. Inside, people prepare the jet for a return trip. "I just need my things." he says, his tone losing its easiness.
A serious look rises on Stark's face. "This involves that girl, doesn't it?"
Pen nods. "She called recently, outta tha blue. Ah figured I'd heard the last of her when I got her outta Oz. Some o' me mates traced tha call to Las Vegas. Figured I'd crawl under tha wire instead ah flyin' in."
"You ok?" Stark asks, putting a hand on Pen's shoulder.
A wistful smile touches Pen's lips. "Nah, mate. This kinda personal stuff is never ok."
Stark nods. He takes his hand from Pen's shoulders and offers it to shake. "If you change your mind, call."
Pen nods and shakes Stark's hand. "No worries."
Stark waves over to one of his crew members. They rush over with two plastic briefcases that match the long one, and a faded, beat-up black backpack.
Pen slings the backpack on his back, picks up the two cases. Stark starts back with his crew when Pen calls out. "Oy."
Stark stops and looks back.
"Ah could use a set o'wheels."

Good Press on "Emerging Church"
As a follow-up to this post a few days ago, I wanted to link to some other pieces that have a more positive spin, or at least a non-condemning tone, on what's happening out there:
I don't post much in the way of "opinion pieces" - some folks hate that about me, about my overall style - but it's not because I don't have opinions. It's just easier to ask questions, to tell stories, to get "my point" across in other ways, I guess. That's why I'm drawn to the emerging paradigm, where there's a love for the Word and for experiences and stories that change lives in real ways. For too many folks, the western church is an afterthought to weekly life, when the reality is that we are Christians 24/7 and just don't know how to live it out. This "emerging church thing" isn't about candles and incense and a certain style to be imitated and manipulated. Rather, I think it's an atmosphere that allows to discussion, for questions, for seeking together and encouraging each other. And that can't be all bad.

i'm a bit tipsy in a café i dont recognize with some people i dont recognize. they're talking about films i don't recognize and making esoteric references that end in a hearty, echoing laughter i can barely stomach. the lighting is sick and yellowish, reflecting off brass banisters and in huge, brass-framed mirrors. the dull bright has me feeling trapped in one of those going-crazy van goghs, so i grab the girlie by the wrist and we ditch these fucking potato-eaters for a starry night. but what to do?
thankfully, my folks are in town for some reason, staying at some ritzy hotel in a neighborhood full of post-game celebrating spaniards. we run up the spiral staircase to the hotel room. knock. no dice. but there's some free tour bus about to leave from the lobby, so we hop on in and move to the side-by-side twin beds in the back of this triple-wide monster. i lay on my back and watch basketball on the giant ceiling-mounted plasma screen. she gives me head as i watch the playoffs, all the while trying to hide my mounting anxiety that the tour is about to end as a robot-voice announces all our stops: "république...châtelet...grands boulevards." crazy fucking trajectory but whatever. my tour, orgasm, and basketball game end in a well-synchronized fashion, and as we make out way out the double doors i get a phone call.
it's jason, who is apparently now working out of his apartment in paris as some kind of state-sponsored rocket scientist. his parents are in town also, supposedly to help him clean up his room, which had blown up like a chemistry lab in a high-school comedy because his alpha-phase rocket detonated while he was lighting a cigarette. we headed over to his apartment to meet his parents. the place was all gray and in shambles and his marvin-the-martian-looking rocket was on the floor behind his computer chair, peeled like a banana. his parents offered to take us to dinner, and we graciously accepted. however, their car couldn't fit five people, so, naturally, we had to follow them on top of a train.
the top of the train is made of chicken wire, so it sort of hurts to hold on, but we manage. as we crawl along it like trench warfare we find a little glass box like a carrying case for a small pet. we look inside. it's a tiny french restaurant with little people inside!
so, we decide to say fuck it to dinner with jason's parents and find a way to make ourselves small enough to go to the baby resto. we hop off the train and start watching the little waiters serve the little breads. when the train passes, there is a police car waiting on the other side of the tracks (the wrong side). apparently it's illegal to have in your possession a tiny glass restaurant box. so the fuckers take us into custody. fucking pigs, man.
