My father, Charles Moore, was a coach, a leader and a teacher. I was fortunate to have him teach me. He spent most of my childhood, teenage and early adult years preparing me to be a coach. I chose to go into business. The business of sales and found that all he had taught me applied to coaching salespeople. I found that salespeople were performing artists just like the athletes he had prepared me to coach. After years of using all I had learned to lead and manage salespeople I began speaking, teaching and training others to do what my father had taught me. My father exposed me to many of the great coaches of the past 50 years. Along with my father the most influential of those great coaches was and always will be John Wooden.
In 1996 I was blessed to spend time with coach John Wooden discussing coaching, leadership and winning. Coach graciously spent hours at his home in Encino sharing his wisdom, insights and talking about how leaders should view winning, losing and life.
I lost my father in 1992 and Coach Wooden this past week. Both are great losses to me because I was fortunate to have been taught by both of them. There influence and impact on me and many others is their legacy and the reason they will never be forgotten. I miss them and can best pay tribute to them by passing on what they taught me. The lessons I learned from my father and John Wooden have served me well. The following are some of the highlights. Study them, learn them and they will serve you!
The art of coaching, teaching and managing is the art of leadership.
Leadership can be taught, learned and improved.
Most managers and coaches sabotage the results they want by trying to manage the results.
When you manage results you're too late to lead.
Results, the score and winning, can't be managed.
Results, the score and winning come from the intentions, attitudes, skills and actions that were present long before the results.
Intention, attitudes, behavior and skills can be taught and managed through preparation.
Winning will take care of itself when leaders manage the things that create the score.
In a locker room, boardroom, sales office or any group you can hear, smell and feel the attitudes of the people and tell if they are ready to perform.
Leaders lift people to accomplish beyond their own expectations by raising their expectations through preparations.
Standards are the lowest attitude and behavior acceptable.
The standards define who you are as a leader.
Leaders set and maintain the standards.
Leaders never compromise the standards.
Leader's help people grow and become their best by working with them to get them to do the things they don't want to do, that will create the results they want.
Leaders manage people's intentions, attitudes and dominant thoughts that create the behavior that produces the results.
Leaders pay attention, listen and manage the atmosphere…the air!
In the absence of leadership, mediocrity will lead and failure is assured.
By Mike Moore

Dr. Ambedkar distinguishes the fall of Budhhism to decline of Buddhism in India.
The Fall (disappearance) of Buddhism was as a result of Islamic Invasion, which started some 712 AD and continued till 1296 AD. During this phase both Buddhism and brahminism were subjected to brutal assault. But brahmism survived and Buddhism didnt why ? To answer, Dr. Ambedkar gives three reasons. 1. at the time of invasion, brahminism had state patronage not Buddism 2.Buddhist priesthood could not be resuscitated after invasion because it was intellectually and culturally much more demanding 3. Bearing the burnt at both ends (even from the brahmincal rulers) the Buddhist mass converted to Islam.
But decline of Buddhism was a result of a continuous conspiracy hatched by Brahmins in support with the brahminical rulers. It starts with Pushyamitra sung's ascension to throne in 185 BC (see the process still was only completed by 712-1296 AD by Islamic sword, which is the fall). By quoting various historians Dr. Ambedkar illustrates that all Hindu sacred texts are post-buddhist and undergone several editions to encompass brahminical supremacy and philosophy. All these Ramayana, Mahavarata, vedic sutras, vedant, puranas date much later to the Budhhist period-which actually didnt exactly end with Maurya empire but continued to be the religion of the king in several kingdoms. But among those, Manu smriti was most hideous and detrimental, as it was binding on the Kings( as a Law Code), it restricted social mobility(by making caste more rigid), it established the right of Brahmin to rule and regicide, it ensured graded inequality and conflict within castes, it degraded women and sudras, it forbade even greeting the Buddhists(referred as heretic). Dr. Ambedkar explores that Manu smriti indeed could be composed at the command of Pushyamitra. This extraordinary long period of horrible conspiracy was-what Dr. Ambedkar describes a- Counter-revolution. It systematised bahminical philosophy, simultaneously carrying out political/military coups and massacre of Buddhist priests.
This extraordinary long period of horrible conspiracy was-what Dr. Ambedkar describes a- Counter-revolution against the rise of Buddhism, the Revolution. It systematised bahminical philosophy, simultaneously carrying out political/military coups and massacre of the Buddhists.
Dr. Ambedkar hardly refers to Sankaracharya as a force to counter Buddhism but questions motives of the five acharya's interpretation of the same Vedant Sutras. He states "There can be no doubt that the Vedanta Sutras are composed after the rise of Buddhism for the Sutras do allude to Buddhism."
Source- Chapter 5 & 6 part-III of Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India (vol-III, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Writting and Speeches)
This was actually an apologetic post in Orkut since in the previous post I had posted wrongly that Sankaracharya was much before the fall of Maurya empire (blame it to googling). Although the two other information I gave was from my readings(not googlin) and was true. Here is the post
Check the dates !!
Was not Ashok's Budhhist empire(as much as present India) centuries later Sankaracharya ?
- The reason of decline of Buddhism was the assassination of emperor Brihadratha by the Brahmin commander-in-chief Pusyamitra.(source-History and Culture of the Indian People edit. R.C Majumdar et al. Vol -III) With the decline of Maurya dynasty and accession of a Brahmin resulted in unimaginable suppression and destruction of Buddhist culture.
- It was the brahmin born Buddhist Monk Nagarjuna who internalised brahminical thoughts like Buddha as a reincarnation of Vishnu and idolatry in Buddhism. (source-Discovery of India J.L. Nehru, I will check the book in a day or two and rectify myself if i am wrong)

Last year I stocked up on several Felicity Jane kits (swoon!), but I must have been too scared to cut into the beautiful papers, because I didn't use them right away. No more! I'm making a point to get those beautiful papers cut up and made into pages for our family albums! Ha!
Last month I shared a couple of pages with you using the Nov. 2015 Felicity Jane kit, and I'm back this week with a couple more. I'll share one today, and another one on Friday. Here goes!
At this point, I had just one little fall leaf wood veneer left in the kit (I used the others on this page last month). No worries! That cute little leaf made the perfect "eagle feather" to adorn my title on this page about my daughter attending her junior high award dinner.
Everything here is from the November Felicity Jane kit with the exception of the journal spot. I picked that baby up in a pack of Seven Paper Baby Die Cuts that I found at the American Crafts Warehouse Sale.
These gold chipboard letters are from a super-old pack of Heidi Swapp chipboard letters. Basic fonts like this definitely have staying power in my stash and on my pages. 🙂
These photos were quite busy with all of the people, people in the background, and different colors of clothes everyone was wearing. I chose to simplify things and change the photos over to black and white. This gives this memory a nostalgic-feel and keeps this page visually calm. I adore black and white photos!
Thanks for coming by! I hope you have a great week!

Yesterday it was a big day for my pets: yearly inoculation day! While Bella deeply enjoys car rides (it's a dog, after all :-), Magellan deeply hates being transported by car, especially since it has to do so in a pet box. The first time we tried to travel with it defecated in the box and I had to stop for a clean. Us being its masters, Magellan does not hate us, but it has its ways of protesting.
As my vet told me often, cats have an extra sense – when it's time to pick them up for the vet visit, they know it well in advance, so they prepare well in advance their escape. Magellan has planned something, but not well this time – it went under the couch. In a moment of inspiration I told Bella to help me, and then I've tried a few things to get Maggie out; not a chance, until I've got exasperated and I've directly lifted the heavy couch. Maggie jumped out, rushing for the alpha site, when Bella put it's front paw on it, with its entire weight of 8.8 kgs behind it … and Maggie stopped, really stumped.
Easy-peasy then, just picked up the cat, placed inside the pet box and off we went. Bella went ecstatic the entire day. I am certain part of it came from the fact it got its revenge for all the moments the cat has ambushed it.

Director: Robert Rodriguez
Teachers: Kevin Williamson
When we were growing up, most of us suspected that there wasn't something right about certain teachers of ours. Some of us, with wilder imaginations, even dreamed they were aliens, planted here to fill our minds with useless information, and then transport back from whence they came. I still question the origin of my first grade teacher who still has my Fantastic Four comic book, by the way (just kidding Mrs. Mason).
Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Williamson must have had similar childhoods because The Faculty appears to be the product of most of our youthful paranoid fantasies. It is an intentionally simplistic, predictable, but guiltily enjoyable look into the darker side of teen angst.
Other attempts have been made recently at this genre, most notably the blink-and-miss-it bore fest Disturbing Behavior, which made a feeble try, but unfortunately took itself too seriously and never really grabbed my interest like this one did. The Faculty is the movie that DB wanted to be. It's better paced (although a tad too long), and just seems to be a "funner" experience for all involved.
The recipe for this story seems to be fairly simple. Mix together three parts Invasion of The Body Snatchers, two parts Puppet Masters, one part Stepford Wives, add a dash of Pink Floyd for modern flavor, and a touch of Evil Dead for spice, and you have it. Students suspect that their teachers have been infested by something from another world, and that they may be plotting further colonization. So of course, it's their mission to stop them. Williamson and Rodriguez learned that you don't need a complex, or even original plot to make the movie entertaining. Just do it well and have fun doing it.
Each actor is playing a character that has already been written and defined in previous movies. The actors are basically just recreating them, as in a stage play. Amongst the teachers, the stand out is Patrick, playing his best role since Terminator 2. He seems to have regained that calm soothing wickedness that had been lost on several throwaway roles since T2. The remainder arent really developed much, given introductions, transformations, and then shuttled off. Hayek and Stewart get brief glimpses, Janssen gets to vamp it up a bit more, and Lauries character may explain why Carries mother was indeed so evil.
The students are basically a darker version of the Breakfast Club. They all seem to be in on the joke, that it is more fun than serious and it shows. None of them stand out, but rather each fills a specific slot. Having the most fun it seems is Josh Hartnett (H20) as the brilliant drug-pushing slacker, who always has an angle, the rest is a Hughes-esque style ensemble of nerd (Wood), jock (Hatosy), cheerleader (Brewster) and shy newcomer (Harris) that all fit their roles well.
This isn't really a movie where you over analyze performances, plot points, etc. Its been done before, its being done again. It plays as a shameless rip-off that comes off as more of a tribute than plagiarism. It never hides the fact that this has been done before. In fact, his characters even pay homage to such, showing that Rodriguez and Williamson are also in on the joke.
If you want to think and
analyze, this is the wrong movie. Check your brain at the door, sit back, and enjoy the
campy fun of The Faculty. ($1/2 of $$$$)

Psalm 31- Extolled
(By all accounts heaven's wince shortcuts
One pair's undoing)
You once had expected
What now You've accepted
A regalia of weather and wine
Drunk at the reception
Alight in convention
We settle our troubles sublime
Believe you own beauty
You know it becoming
You were a child of my pride
I praised You for daring
I raised you while swearing
That G-d is inside and astride
Why don't You hear it?
Or is it You fear it?
Its features are innocence Divine
You were born on my shoulders
Suborned life's small borders
Yet never refract nor resign
In holy wars' treasures
A compendium of measure
Lest otherworlds lose lust in their prime.

Today I told the Proles we were staying at home for the festive season.
Prole2: Can I have lego for Christmas?
Prole1: Do the sperms only go in a verdigras?
Me: A verdigras?
Prole2: What's a gerdigram?
Prole1: Not a gerdigram, a verdigras.
Me: What's a verdigram?
Prole1: A verdigras, you know.
He stares at me like I am an idiot. I feel like an idiot so it's clearly working.
Prole1: It's what ladies have.
Me: Ah, yes, I don't think that's how it is pronounced.
Prole2: DAD! Tell me, I know this but tell me, I need you to be true. I know he isn't. Is Farmer Christmas REAL?
Prole1: How do you pronounce it then?
Me: Well I think it's pronounced "Father Christmas"
Prole1 + Prole2: DAD! Dad! Dadadadadad….
There is some confusion at this point with both of them talking at once.
I am ashamed and pleased in equal measure that I managed to keep the confusion going for some time.
The resolution was that Prole1 was given the correct pronunciation for that particular word and while I informed him that this was not the unique repository for 'the sperms' I managed to stop short of explaining the rudiments of onanism to him. That particular avenue of conversational joy remains unexplored for the time being.
Prole2 was harder to put off.
Me: But we saw him in the shops, remember?
Prole2: That was just a man dressed up.
Me: Why was he dressed as Father Christmas? And why did he say all that stuff if he is not real?
Prole2: That man is a lying man.
Me: So you are saying that a complete stranger dresses up as Father Christmas and lies to you in the town centre and I get home and carry on that lie and sneak into your room pretending to be Father Christmas? I can't do that, how would I fit down the chimney?
Prole2: You don't come down the chimney.
Prole1: Where do all the presents come from then? In the stockings?
Me: Yes, thank you, a voice of reason.
Prole2 (slowly) I think our cousins do it.
Me: Do what?
Prole2: They put presents in our stockings.
Me: Your cousins do it?
Prole2 (warming to his theory) Yes, when we go round to their house.
Prole1: We won't get any this year then, we are staying at home.
Prole2: DAD! I need to know. Is Farmer Christmas REAL?

My Hanukkah Card
UPDATE: My pearls were too big for the star but I found this little rhinestones ones on a pack I have in my stash. They were pumpkins but you can take the tiny jewels apart and that is what I did.
I definitely think it looks much better.
Thanks again for your input ladies.

I have two lower receivers being shipped from Eagle Firearms. Eagle says that the were picked up by UPS on thursday.
I haev the tracking number, thursday and friday UPS tracking said something about electronic shipping info received, this does not imply the package was received. So I emailed eagle again and they again said it was picked up by UPS.
Today UPS tracking says something about unable to locate traking number and package.
Should I be worried? Has this happened to anyone else?
Happen to me once when I shipped a receiver. I listed it as a firearm so they made me open the box for them to see it. I took it at 8 in the morning to their main place and at 8 the next day it still was not in the system. By 12 I was on the phone to the 1 800 number . Got a lot of excuses why it might not be. Then I explained it was a firearm and I was just worried about it being missing told them thanks and bye. It showed up in the system less than an hour later. Funny thing was they made me ship it overnight because it was a gun. It got there a day late.
Same thing happened with my order of lowers from Eagle Firearms. I emailed Eagle Firearms about it and they called UPS immediately and was told the package was in their system and gave them the date they were scheduled for delivery. The dealer received the package on the scheduled day. I wouldn't worry about it.
i've had packages that weren't in the system even after delivery.
UPS sucks but fed ex sucks worse pay for next day air get it 5 days later and they tell u fuck off it was out of their controll even after filing all the paperwork and bitching they still wont refund the extra amount for next day service.
I have an ffl and deal with them regularly. From my experience I will bet you its ups fault.
I have never personaly dealt with Eagle Firearms but have heard from others their a class act.
I wouldn't worry to much.
Just give it a couple days... I have seen this a few times. It always works out on its own.
You can have it done QUICKLY, done INEXPENSIVELY, done CORRECTLY. Pick any two.
UPS is Teamsters, that means they don't have to answer to anyone and mostly just don't care. I have tried to get a job with them for years, my delivery man told me that they have like an eleven year waiting list to get a job with them.
I have ordered from eagle and dont worry you will get it on time!
I ship (my business) with Fed Ex. My experience is they are more reliable than UPS, handle delicate goods with more care. But also receive goods shipped with UPS.
Sometimes items shipped are not immediately in the system. I have had a few items never get into the system, could not be tracked at all, but still were delivered in a timely fashion.
Shipments usually do not show up on tracking until they have been received at the first hub.
Sometimes UPS tracking isn't up to snuff, in the last couple of weeks I received a package before it ever showed up on the tracking page, not too swift on the tracking sometimes!
Chris is only a few miles from me. If you don't receive your receivers, I have his wife hold him while I shine my boots on him.
Really, Chris/Eagle is good people. I have met Chris, his wife, and you will not have any problems on thier end. Your FFL doing the transfer on your end may be a totally different story.
I once thought that I had all the answers, but after consorting with the "Magic 8 Ball", I have found it to be "Doubtable Not So".
thanks guys, I think it will show up this week. I do alot of UPS shipping in my business, never had problem tracking before.
Dano, Iwill keep that boot thing in mind,,,,,,,,,,,,I can not say enough about the service at Eagle Firearms, I am a royal pain in the butt sometimes and they have answered every email, the same day, even on sundays.

There were so many arcade classics that many people remember back in the 1980's that many people enjoyed. Space Harrier was a popular rail shooting arcade game back in the 80's. One of the coolest things about Space Harrier that stood out the most included the visual presentation of the game itself. The graphics for the original Space Harrier game were fantastic and looked like something you would see in the early 90's. Even though, the game did not feature much of a story the level of difficulty that Space Harrier had presented was enough to draw people into the game itself. Space Harrier has to be one of the toughest rail shooter games to have been released in arcade centers worldwide during the 1980's. While the game seems relatively simple at first it slowly becomes more difficult as one progresses throughout the game. Not only do players have to face more obstacles as they play through the game they have to deal with approximately fifteen boss battles along with completing eighteen different stages. `
Along with trying to complete Space Harrier in its entirety one of the cool features about this game included the different themes utilized in the game. There were so many different settings that were featured in each level including futuristic and prehistoric with various types of monsters depending on what stage you were on. Along with having excellent level designs Space Harrier had also included a fantastic soundtrack which made Space Harrier much more exciting to play in arcade centers worldwide. As fun as Space Harrier was to play back in the 80's and early 90's the only downside about this game was the fact that it did not feature much of an ending. However, the game itself was a very fun rail shooter title to play back in the 80's and early 90's in arcade centers and is definitely considered to be one of the most memorable titles within its genre that many people would consider to be a classic.

I do enjoy a good biograph and have read some really interesting ones over the years. I saw this at the library the other day and decided to give it a read as I love the TV show, even though I don't have foxtel and haven't seen an episode since a friend taped the wedding!! Sad I know….
Anyway this was better than I thought it was going to be and mentions the OJ Simpson case a fair bit as she and her first husband were extremely close to OJ and his wife Nicole.
I also have a lot of admiration for her and the way she and her ex-husband maintained a great and loving relationship even though they were no longer a couple and she had remarried. All for the sake of their children and I guess the love they had for one another at another time in their lives.
It made me think about my situation and that I know I will never be able to show that kind of relationship to my son as his dad is not the forgiving type and is out there to 'get me' or belittle me at every corner. I know this will never change which is a great disappointment for my son, but it comes down to the way his dad wants to behave towards me. I wish for the little man's sake we could have a better relationship ,unfortunately this will not occur as he is still bitter about his first ex-wife and they have been divorced for years!!!
It can't be healthy to hold on to such resentment and to portray this onto the children involved as it doesn't do them any good to have one parent bad mouthing the other on a constant basis. It is not of my concern as I have enough things to concern myself about rather than worry about his attitude towards me; don't get me wrong sometimes I am stressed and upset beyond belief with the things he says and does to me but I can't change it and have to keep moving forward as hard as that road is at times.
I do applaud Kris Kardashian for the way she has lived her life for her children, especially in the earlier years not necessarily later in life and the train wreck of a TV show that kept us all coming back for more.
If at all possible have a pleasant relationship with your ex for the sake of your children's wellbeing and health and to show them what a relationship should be like. After all it is all about the child and not about the parents.


text: Good Lord. I was at the Cats Protection Garden Party when somehow or the other I ended up being persuaded to crochet some blankets for sale. It seems the crochet ones are more popular than knitted ones. I was puzzled by the fact that apparently there is only 1 person who could crochet! As I have a thousand balls of yarn upstairs I really had no grounds for refusing….however I did reflect on my fate. Here I was, a granny, in my retirement crochet blankets for cats! How did it ever come to this! I have been churning them out for the Christmas Fair, which of course occurs in October!

In the midst of these unsettled feelings I decided to do a "closure" painting. I would do an interior oil that would hopefully capture some essence of the place and let me move on. With a difficult perspective in the tight space I thought it wise to do a preliminary drawing - something I almost never do. I set to work about six weeks ago. The drawing process was so enjoyable I decided to forgo the painting and let the drawing be the finished product. I had no way of knowing this would be my last work in my alley studio.
|Studio Interior (Model on Break), oil pastel, 12" X 15", 2014
Within a couple of weeks of starting this project another studio space suddenly became available. The new space is a bit of a wreck but it is just what I have been searching for. Coincidence? Would the new space have presented itself had I not begun this drawing? There is no way to know the answer. I'm not particularly superstitious but the timing of these events has me thinking.

V-22 Osprey Aircraft:
Assessments Needed to Address Operational and Cost Concerns to Define Future Investments
GAO-09-692T: Published: Jun 23, 2009. Publicly Released: Jun 23, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
(937) 258-7915
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the 1980s, the V-22, developed to transport combat troops, supplies, and equipment for the U.S. Marine Corps and to support other services' operations, has experienced several fatal crashes, demonstrated various deficiencies, and faced virtual cancellation--much of which it has overcome. Although recently deployed in Iraq and regarded favorably, it has not performed the full range of missions anticipated, and how well it can do so is in question. Given concerns about the V-22 program, GAO recently reviewed and on May 11, 2009, reported on MV-22 operations in Iraq; strengths and deficiencies in terms of the capabilities expected of the V-22; and past, current, and future costs. In that report, GAO recommended that the Secretary of Defense require (1) a new alternatives analysis of the V-22 and (2) that the Marine Corps develop a prioritized strategy to improve system suitability, reduce operational costs, and align future budget requests. The Department of Defense (DOD) concurred with the second recommendation, but not the first. GAO believes both recommendations remain valid. This testimony highlights GAO's findings from that report. In speaking of the V-22, we are actually speaking of two variants of the same aircraft. The MV-22 is used by the Marine Corps; and the CV-22 by the Air Force to support special operations. This statement largely focuses on the MV-22, but also refers to the V-22 and CV-22.
As of January 2009, the 12MV-22sin Iraq successfully completedall missions assigned in a low-threat theater of operations--using their enhanced speed and range to deliver personnel and internal cargo faster and farther than the legacy helicopters being replaced. However, challenges to operational effectiveness were noted that raise questions about whether the MV-22 is best suited to accomplish the full repertoire of missions of the helicopters it is intended to replace. Additionally, suitability challenges, such as unreliable component parts and supply chain weaknesses, led to low aircraft availability rates. Additional challenges have been identified with the MV-22's ability to operate in high-threat environments, carry the required number of combat troops and transport external cargo, operate from Navy ships, and conduct missions in more extreme environments throughout the world. While efforts are underway to address these challenges, it is uncertain how successful they will be as some of them arise from the inherent design of the V-22. The V-22's original program cost estimates have changed significantly. From 1986 through 2007, the program's Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation cost increased over 200 percent--from $4.2 to 12.7 billion--while the cost of procurement increased 24 percent from $34.4 to $42.6 billion. This increase coincided with significant reductions in the number of aircraft being procured--from nearly 1,000 to less than 500--resulting in a 148 percent increase in cost for each V-22. Operations and support costs are expected to rise. An indication is the current cost per flying hour, which is over $11,000--more than double the target estimate for the MV-22. After more than 20 years in development, the MV-22 experience in Iraq demonstrated that the Osprey can complete missions assigned in low-threat environments. Its speed and range were enhancements. However, challenges may limit its ability to accomplish the full repertoire of missions of the legacy helicopters it is replacing. If so, those tasks will need to be fulfilled by some other alternative. Additionally, the suitability challenges that lower aircraft availability and affect operations and support costs need to be addressed. The V-22 program has already received or requested over $29 billion in development and procurement funds. The estimated funding required to complete development and procure additional V-22s is almost $25 billion (then-year dollars). In addition, the program continues to face a future of high operations and support cost funding needs, currently estimated at $75.4 billionfor the life cycle of the program. Before committing to the full costs of completing production and supporting the V-22, the uses, cost, and performance of the V-22 need to be clarified and alternatives should be re-considered.

Thanks Eve. I had my first session last week and so far my family have said "It looks really natural and has framed my face really well". My friends have said it looks natural and sexy! I feel great and my confidence has grown, can't wait for my second session now. Also my friend Matt who also had it done with you said it's the best money he's ever spent.Stefan - Crawley
I was wondering why my friend was wearing his hair so short when he had so much of it, until he told me it only looked that much because of scalp micropigmentation. I couldn't believe it, I'd never seen or heard of it before. He gave me your details and I booked in for 3 days later!R - Notting Hill
From seeing the advert, it took me 6 months to build the courage to visit for a consultation, as I had a fear of needles and did not know anyone who had undertaken scalp micropigmentation. I found Eve and the staff at Velvet Pigmentation Clinic very friendly and supportive. We fully discussed the results I wanted to achieve before treatment started.
After 3 sessions I am extremely pleased with the results and can't stop telling everyone and looking in the mirror. There was little pain, more of a discomfort when the treatment was being carried out, which had been my biggest fear. I would recommend the treatment to anyone with hair loss.Desmond Byrth - Brighton
I am so happy with the results so far. I just love asking friends, after a while of being with them, if they notice anything different about me…. and then I say my hair and they go….. "OMG have you had it tattooed? It looks amazing and I couldn't tell!"Steave - Worthing
I visited one of my closest friends this week and she didn't even recognise I'd had my head done. She just thought, once I'd told her, that I'd cut it very close to my head. So its a mega success all round and I, of course, am the happiest man with my new look. Thank you and see you soon.Jake - Kent
I can't believe how it is looking! So perfect and really natural thanks. All the girls I have told at work love it and can't believe the quality of your work! I was always nervous of the final outcome as I work with so many females and appearance is important, but the end result is a lot of comments on how good and healthy I am looking at the moment! My scalp micropigmentation secret is safe and so good they didn't realise until I told them! I will send you my before and after photos.
Going bald is sadly still a big taboo amongst men, but you have an option here that a lot of men would go for if only they knew about it. Let me know how I can promote SMP more for you as I can only thank you for your superb service, affordable pricing and excellent results. You deserve any work I can help put your way through the recommendations I am giving you. Many thanks again.Clive Lauren - Brighton

European.Escape – Santorini – December 2011
I'm just going to start off with this: Santorini, Greece is my FAVORITE place thus far. All you need to know about Santorini is in the pictures. No words can even explain this place.
We were blown away by the pictures of this Pink Cave House (click link). You can even see some videos if you Google "Pink Cave House". As soon as I stepped onto the front entrance, looking out towards the water, I knew I was coming back. The thing about visiting Greece, especially the islands, in the Winter is that everything is closed. And in Santorini, literally EVERYTHING was closed. There were about four or five groups of tourists besides us staying in Oia. There was one restaurant that was open, and luckily, the food was good. We already knew it would be like this, so we weren't disappointed. We spent two nights here and we absolutely loved the peace and quiet, the endless wandering the streets of Oia, and the beautiful views that were NOT ruined by the crowds.
We will be back, I'm sure of it. And it will be in October, when the crowds are dying down, but the stores and restaurants remain open before closing before the Winter. We will definitely stay at the Pink Cave House again, and this time, we would probably rent a car. We also want to visit some of the other islands like Mykonos and maybe Crete. We didn't do it on this trip because the ferry services were limited in the Winter and airfare would add up. But Santorini, we will be back!

Stop Talking About Climate Change, House Republicans Tell the Pentagon and CIA
David G. Hawkins, director of the climate program at the environmentalist Natural Resources Defense Council, called the swipe at climate science "stupid but not surprising." "It's just a political stunt for these people," Hawkins told VICE News.
"Because they are so locked into denial on the issue of climate protection, they think it's politically easy to identify these activities to cut," he said. "It's very unwise, and most of the time the people who are sponsoring these cuts are the ones who say we ought to listen to our military leaders."
The Republican legislators, whose goal is to shut down any discussion about climate change/global warming, can look to the problematic governor of Florida who does not want even the words "climate change" or "global warming" to pass the lips of his minions--or anyone else.
The thinking is that if no one talks about climate change or global warming IT ISN'T HAPPENING!
Remember, these are the people we warned you about in 2014. Now they're in charge of two branches of government. And how do they govern?
Here's how: DON'T SAY "CLIMATE CHANGE" OR "GLOBAL WARMING!"
That's their solution to how the United States of America will address this worldwide problem!
Again, we warned everyone about the extremists who took over the GOP and now we have them censoring words they don't like because the words don't fit their ideology. It's really quite amusing, since their keyboard commandos are the first to howler-monkey hoot about liberals and PC, yet here they are telling the Pentagon and the CIA to STFU and about climate change!
Here's another one of their heroes, telling NASA to concentrate on space exploration and not Earth sciences, because like all the other ideologues in the current GOP, Ted Cruz isn't concerned with what is happening on our planet--because, well, CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING is a taboo subject in the GOP, so by shutting down any discussion and banning words, the issue will just go away.
This is their idea of competent governing and scientific understanding: IGNORE, REDIRECT, AND CENSOR!
When we accuse the current GOP of being anti-science, that isn't a partisan attack, it is the truth.

I LOVE making things. I've always been a crafter. I got my first sewing machine for Christmas when I was 8 years old. Instead of a sport, I went to sewing lessons. I LOVE LOVE LOVE crafting.
Being a mother of 2 makes if VERY difficult to find time to craft. To that end, now that I've got Boo sleeping in his crib instead of on me for a nap at the same time that Bubba takes his one and only nap I'm going to try to make some stuff!
My list consists of:
- a valance for Bubba's bedroom window
- more medium cloth diapers since Boo is chunky and will be in them soon!
- swimming/bath towels for Bubba and Boo
- finish my cross-stitched Christmas stocking from last year
- start and finish a cross-stitched Christmas stocking for Boo
- a fabric busy book for Bubba
- photo baby blocks for Boo
And I'm sure there will be many more projects as the weeks go on . I'm going to make a tutorial for some of these things and link to other sites where I got ideas for the others. Wish me luck!

Just over a year ago, my grandmother (codename Nonna) left us. She was a lovely, funny, happy old lady, who liked pets, receiving postcards from unusual places, looking after people she'd only known five minutes and tending to her orchids. She liked having children around, and always looked out for the ones whom she thought needed protecting. If she liked you, you were always (always!) welcome to drop by for coffee, tea or a meal. She also made what is known as The World's Best Home-made Lasagna – I guard the recipe with my life, knowing all the while my lasagna will only ever be The Second Best.
Most people who knew Nonna thought they knew her very well. She was very transparent in her ways and you knew right away where you stood with her. I once had to shush her repeatedly at a family event, as she pointed out to me quite loudly that one of the young female guests should consider refraining from getting dressed in the dark to spare us all of the spectacle that was her outfit. Nearly comatose from embarrassment, I begged Nonna to lower her voice when dispensing unwanted sartorial advice to young people. Nonna said she was just voicing what several people were probably thinking. She was probably right.
I'll spare you the more detailed description of how painful experiencing Nonna's loss was to us, and get to my point as quickly as possible. I promise.
As few days after Nonna passed away, my parents and I went to her house to start organising what needed to be organised, put away what needed to be put away, find bills which needed to be paid, water the orchids, and so on. But the most difficult task of all (I should have guessed) was going through her closet. Not because it was particularly messy, but because of how much it looked and smelled like "her" closet.
As we dug deeper into her treasured clothes, gloves and hats, we started finding things we would never have known about otherwise. Such as scented boxes and silk paper which once held scented soaps and an endless number of empty little bottles of perfume, which she surely thought were too pretty to throw away.
Every time I travelled back home to see her, I brought her either a small bottle of Chanel No 5, its body lotion or soap. She loved the smell, and it was not a surprise when I found several empty little square flasks in the back of her closet. What did surprise me was the beautiful, nearly finished bottle of Guerlain's Shalimar.
Shalimar was released by Guerlain in 1921 – the same year Chanel No 5 was released – and immediately started causing a ruckus. Some people considered its scent to be too provocative (apparently its scent was deemed an aphrodisiac and hence"indecent" at the time). "Respectable" women at the time are said to have preferred more classic floral perfumes, such as Chanel No 5.
Of all the women in the whole wide world, Nonna was the last woman on earth I would have pictured wearing Shalimar. But there it was – the iconic fan-shaped Baccarat bottle with its faded blue stopper. It was almost as if she had hidden it in the back of her closet for no-one to see.
At the time, the feeling of not knowing everything there was to know about Nonna was devastating. One year on, it makes me smile. Even though I struggled to contain her in my memory and made sure every new detail I found out about her life had a special meaning, she still managed to keep parts of herself hidden from all of us. In spite of all the expectations people had of her as The Good Daughter, The Wife and The Mother, she still managed to be Her Own Woman. And I can't believe it took an old bottle of perfume to remind me of that.
When I was last travelling, I went into a store to buy a bottle of Shalimar of my own. The smiley salesperson suggested I might like other scents, but I stuck to my guns and took a small fan-shaped bottle from its shelf. In broken English and smiling the whole time, the salesperson asked if I was a "Shalimar girl". I just smiled back and said I had absolutely no idea, and made my way to the checkout counter.
Thank you so much for reading, and have a lovely day.

I don't pretend to understand genetic mapping, but the scientific community seems pretty excited about this, so let's hope it translates into those important "advances in personalized treatments and drug therapies" soon.

Not much progress this time. I finished the Diamond Motif band. I decided to add the thin border above it before I start the next motif. You can see that the last row of the thin border is not quite finished.
I started the next motif – Octagon – but haven't gotten very far.
I've also done some work on the borders going up the left side. I'll continue adding to the borders going up the right side over the next few days and adding to the Octagon motif row. When I stop stitching tonight, it will be exactly two weeks since I started the rug. Not bad for two weeks, considering how large the rug will be. After the holidays I should have more time for stitching and hopefully things will move along a little faster.

Book Summary (from Goodreads)
For Princess Alyrra, choice is a luxury she's never had … until she's betrayed.
Princess Alyrra has never enjoyed the security or power of her rank. Between her family's cruelty and the court's contempt, she has spent her life in the shadows. Forced to marry a powerful foreign prince, Alyrra embarks on a journey to meet her betrothed with little hope for a better future.
But powerful men have powerful enemies–and now, so does Alyrra. Betrayed during a magical attack, her identity is switched with another woman's, giving Alyrra the first choice she's ever had: to start a new life for herself or fight for a prince she's never met. But Alyrra soon finds that Prince Kestrin is not at all what she expected. While walking away will cost Kestrin his life, returning to the court may cost Alyrra her own. As Alyrra is coming to realize, sometime the hardest choice means learning to trust herself.
Thorn has received a Badge of Approval from Awesome Indies.
First of all, I LOVE this cover. I also love the story of the Goose Girl, so the combination alone had me picking this up. It didn't disappoint!
I really enjoy the backstory that the author has given Alyrra. She's created a complete world, and her attention to detail was very well done. I liked Alyrra's relationships and the way that the author created a life that made the reader believe she wouldn't mind being sent to another land. I also really loved that Alyrra, while angry at first about the change in fortune, comes to see it as an opportunity rather than a curse. The way she handles the switch between handmaiden and princess also works well, as does the inclusion of the villain. It helps to carry the story further than just a jealous maid.
The prince and the supporting characters are well done, though I must admit that I wanted to know more about the Snatchers, as well as the Red Hawk and his place in Alyrra's life. I wanted to see what she would have done in the end about the things she saw as a commoner, and I wanted to see how she handles the transition back into her own face. After all that's happened, I imagine it would be difficult.
I had some moments where I wished for a little less whining and avoiding the subject from Alyrra as she decided what to do, esepcially since she spends most of her time professing that she doesn't understand court politics, but she obviously does. I suppose it could be said that she learned them gradually, but it didn't seem that way to me. First they weren't obvious, then they were there. I also wanted to see her reach out to her friends at the stables more quickly and with more feeling than she did at the end.
If you like retellings, especially of the Goose Girl, then you'll really enjoy this one. I look forward to seeing what else the author puts out.

War Poetry
Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land,
Drawing no dividend from time's to-morrows.
In the great hour of destiny they stand,
Each with his feuds, and jealousies, and sorrows.
Soldiers are sworn to action; they must win
Some flaming, fatal climax with their lives.
Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin
They think of firelit homes, clean beds and wives.
I see them in foul dug-outs, gnawed by rats,
And in the ruined trenches, lashed with rain,
Dreaming of things they did with balls and bats,
And mocked by hopeless longing to regain
Bank-holidays, and picture shows, and spats,
And going to the office in the train.

So, um, yeah, almost a year without posting anything... Strange as it may seem, the thing is that I've had loads of topics in my mind to discuss about but... Er, yeah, I suck at updating entries regularly, never mind!
Today, I wanted to recommend three films that I've watched during this academic year, as they've become in some of my favourite ones. They are three 20th and 21st century British films which discuss different social issues and struggles, definitely worth watching.
The first one is: KES
Kes (Loach, 1969; novel 1968) is a film that shows the marginalization and mockery of a very troubled young teen, Billy Casper. Billy Casper suffers bullying at school as well as by his half-brother named Jude, who has a bad life, devoted to theft and street fights. Billy begs for money, smoke cigarettes, daydream and has no positive interest in school. His greatest fear is ending up working as a coal miner, but has no way out of what seems to be his destiny. Billy comes across as an emotionally neglected boy with little self-respect. His mother refers to him in the film as a "hopeless case." Nonetheless, he becomes passionate about falconry and begins raising a kestrel which named Kes. Through its new partner, Casper begins to see life with more enthusiasm and feel that can be useful in society. With training and discipline, he teaches the falcon fly, becoming an expert in falconry. However,...
The second one is: IT'S A FREE WORLD
Ironically titled social-consciousness drama It's a Free World (Loach, 2007), discusses the problem of exploited immigrant labor from the perspective of one taking advantage. Angie is fired from a company whose mission is selecting temporary workers and, after being sexually harassed by one of her superiors, she decides to stop working for others and, along with her roommate Rose, and with the help of the manager of the bar she frequents, sets up her own temporary employment illegally until she can deal with the legalization of the company. Thanks to her knowledge, contacts and strong character achieves several foreign workers willing to work for hours or days, and place them in various construction companies or manufacturers; while Rose puts up a website and mission statement to give the operation a distinct veneer of class and idealism. As Angie flaunts her body and unabashedly uses the lure of sex to attract new clients and business, she ignorantly fails to acknowledge warnings that she may be headed for dangerous waters. Meanwhile, family problems erupt when Angie's extremely dysfunctional and misguided 11-year-old son, Jamie, gets in trouble for severely beating a classmate, and Angie's unionist father grows utterly horrified when turns up one morning to watch, he finds the sight disgraceful, saying, "I thought those days were all over". While her company is consolidating, Angie has to face different ethical conflicts, such as dealing with employers who propose treatment outside the law, or do not comply with the agreement, whether to accept illegal workers, the thin line that separates helping to exploit immigrants, emotional involvement with their workers, even where is she willing to go to succeed professionally, or her relationship with her child and her parents...
The third one is: TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES
Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Sharp, 1998) is a film that tells us the story of the life of Tess, a free-spirited yet naive country girl that is caught between her wealthy, manipulative "cousin" Alec, and the handsome, educated farmer Angel Clare in this Victorian tragedy from novelist Thomas Hardy. Unfairness dominates the lives of Tess and her family to such an extent that it begins to seem like a general aspect of human existence in Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Tess emerges as a powerful character not because of this symbolism but because "Hardy's feelings for her were strong, perhaps stronger than for any of his other invented personages". Nonetheless, as in almost all Hardy's novels, happy endings are not too conventional and predictables...
I consider them a must see for all people who is interested in having a view about how ordinary people lived ages ago, or even if you want to simply kill the time. They will leave you with some important reflexions because despite of the time, they could be even related to our contemporary world and way of living.

Eddie Vedder Rocks the Ukulele on New Album [AUDIO]
Pearl Jam front-man Eddie Vedder will release a new album consisting entirely of tunes played on the ukulele later this year, music blogs report, and the first song is out today.
It's a fresh recording of Vedder's "LongingTo Belong," which the singer has played at solo shows throughout the last couple of years. Listen to the new recording after the jump.
Music blog Antiquiet reports the new album will be called Uke Songs. The new recordings follow the spare folk songs of Vedder's Into the Wild soundtrack and take the hard-rocking Pearl Jam frontman into a new direction.

Its not at all what is sounds like – not really 🙂
j-a.g, kat & i nipped through to Green Point for what was to be a MASS STREAK to show the world that, YES: Capetonians DO have the GEES (spirit) and we're excited about the World Cup and we're perfectly happy to
get naked prove it!
Although it turned out to be a bit cold and rainy (you know how much we hate the rain!) and (most definitely) because of the copious amounts of 'Dutch courage' that was consumed, we saw plenty enough bums and boobs and other bits bouncing down the road screaming and shouting, blowing and even wearing Vuvuzelas (you know where!)
And that was just the beginning of our night out in town 🙂 For the photo-graphical evidence – click HERE
That was followed by a more respectable exhibition launch in De Waterkant (you'll see me admiring some artwork in the link above). Tiny room, lots of people and plenty of soccer related photos (see: MORE GEES in Cape Town) but it was hot, there was no food and we were keen to keep moving.
And just was well, kat led us to the launch of the photography exhibition at Misael Space: Play, Jump, Eat. The photographs (it goes without saying) are absolutely awesome. My favourites were the ones of various people famous (Freshly Ground, Desmond Tutu) and less famous (Kalk Bay Fishermen) jumping on a double bed, which has been making its way around CT. The best part: The bed was there at the exhibition and we got to jump on it too – like little children 🙂 (The exhibition is still on, so make sure you pop when you're there next!)
After all that jumping we were very hungry and decided to nip over, to the VERY OTHER side of town BY FOOT (because you know how much we like to walk!) to the Great Eastern Bazaar in Darling street. I wont go into too much detail here, because seeing is believing: SEE IT HERE What did I tell you?? Yummeh!
And then we chose the perfect way to round up a night of Bed, Art, Nakedness and Food by choosing whiskey and beer at the Woodstock Lounge: Drinks, Cosy Couches, Fireplace, Good Friends, and a very soppy-in-love couple just across the way who entertained us for much of the time there.

Sven's Role = Moral Support
Bea took an immediate liking to my new husband. Once he had devoured the in-depth articles in the latest issue of the New York Review of Books, she started sharing opinions, delighted to have an in-house intellectual with whom to converse, not to mention a handsome escort for seminars at the Wellfleet Public Library. Sven enjoyed my mother although she dominated the dinner conversations to such an extent that I had to remind him not to neglect little old me.
Bea is mostly silent these days. In fact, this week, she shut up Nurse Jane by asking, "Do you always talk so much?"
I could have pointed out former volubility, but didn't.
The hospice folks tend to be our only contact with the outside world. Neighbors know Bea is in the homestretch and imagine she needs a quiet environment.
Yesterday I discussed the phenomenon with Jane who told me it is the norm for most caregivers. We tend to become homebodies in order to keep a close watch on loved ones. Social life is curtailed. We hesitate to go out. The result is isolation.
These days Bea's slumber is profound. Sven goes into her bedroom to say hello every once and a while, but he, too, shies away. There is something about Bea's circumstance that discourages contact. Perhaps people are reminded of their own mortality, as if death, like a tornado, might suck up everything in its passage …

Not all flowers are the same. Teach your children about the difference flowers. Even in the winter you can explore your local grocery store's floral department. Buy a cheap bunch and count petals, sort by colors, types, and sizes.
