Sophie: What inspired you to write Beneath the Rainbow?
Lisa: I began writing Beneath the Rainbow in 2009. I was frustrated with trying to edit a trilogy I'd written. I'd taken them as far as I could at the time and couldn't decide what else to write... I was walking through our local park when the first line of the book leaped into my head and I couldn't shake it... "Freya was seven-years-old when she got hit by the car, it was a 4x4 with a bull bar." The line shocked me, and my immediate reaction was how could I write a book that began with the death of a child? I came home and scrawled it out in my notebook and spent the next few hours crafting the first chapter. I was completely drawn into the grief her family was suffering and imagined how it would appear to a child on the other side of Heaven. It was a story that flowed and I was determined to weave both grief and joy into the tale.
Sophie: Your use of flower imagery in this story is really beautiful. How did you learn so much about flowers? Do you like to garden?
Lisa: I adore flowers and all kinds of natural imagery, I love beauty and I think that comes across in my writing. Flowers were a natural progression, especially as the story dealt with death and heaven, two things that to me involve flowers! My favourite flower is the bluebell and one of my earliest memories is of wandering through bluebell woods at a young age…magical carpets of blue! When we first bought our house, I poured through gardening books, learning everything I could, and gardened ferociously, but my garden has overtaken my grand ideas over the years, and a back condition limits my physical gardening, but that doesn't stop me adoring plants, and I think they'll always feature in my writing!
Sophie: You participate actively in several flash fiction communities. Do you think writing flash fiction on a regular basis helps strengthen your writing? What would you say to someone who wants to try writing flash fiction, but doesn't know where to start?
Lisa: Yes, yes, yes! I wrote Beneath the Rainbow then joined Twitter and discovered Flash Fiction, I wish it had been the other way round…my writing has grown tremendously through flash fiction challenges and contests! I found Lillie McFerrin's Five Sentence Fiction and I've never looked back! I didn't know it was open to anyone to begin with and asked if I could join in…there were only a handful of us writing, and that challenge had over 50 participants for a recent prompt. My advice is to check out a variety of Flash Fiction, I always link my entries to the host so anyone can find the fictioneers I follow on my blog…find what suits you, try out as many as you want and watch your writing improve and your imagination grow!
Sophie: Are you working on a new novel? Tell us a little about it!
Here's my blurb: "Meg's mother is anxious, depressed and neglectful. Meg thinks her mum is broken and wonders if she'll be next, or is she already broken too? Meg wants to escape, but her mum beats her to it. Solace is found in a huge, old oak tree and Meg begins to learn to grow…"
After Beneath the Old Oak comes out, I plan to return to the three books that frustrated me some years ago. My writing skills are far superior to where they were a decade ago and my dragon adventure stories need rewriting and editing!

|Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby and Sally Hansen Sheer Ecstasy, 2 drugstore jellies
A question that often comes up in the nail community is "What are some drugstore jellies?" It's not like jelly polishes are all labeled as such. Yes, there is the standard advice to find a jelly: tip a polish bottle over on its side. If you can see the mixing balls through the polish along the side of the bottle, then the polish is a jelly. However, I wanted to offer people a quick and dirty list of the jellies that I know of that can be easily found at the drugstore.
I've compiled this totally unofficial list of drugstore jelly polishes based on my frequent visits to places like Target and Walgreens. All but one of these are a part of the core collection for their brand, so they should be easy to access. Here are the jellies I know of so far:
Wet n Wild Everybody Loves Redmond
Wet n Wild Fuchsiarama
Wet n Wild I Red a Good Book
Wet n Wild 2% MIlk
Wet n Wild Break the Ice
Spoiled by Wet n Wild Permission to Proceed (dupe for the color below, SC Irish Green)
Sinful Colors Irish Green (not a core color at any retailer, seasonally available frequently)
Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby
Sally Hansen CSM Jaded
Sally Hansen CSM Shell We Dance
Sally Hansen CSM Sheer Ecstasy
Sally Hansen CSM Almost Almond
Sally Hansen CSM Arm Candy
Revlon Just Tinted Victorian
Revlon Sheer Pink
Revlon Velvet Rope
Revlon Plum Seduction
For almost all these polishes, I don't personally own them so I confirmed their jelly nature by image searching for jelly sandwiches featuring them. Maybe I'll eventually add a link for all of them, but for now:
Sally Hansen CSM Arm Candy sandwich from Never Enough Nails
Revlon Velvet Rope sandwich from Pretty Girl Science
Revlon Plum Seduction floating stamping from SpecialGirl Nails

Past the pain, struggle and tears, freedom awaits you.
Addiction is a powerfully destructive disease. Its greatest weapons are denial and secrecy, which lead to a slow death. We believe in alcohol and drug interventions without the shame.
It's challenging to help a loved one struggling with any type of addiction (alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling). People resist acknowledging their addictions. You may need to join forces with family, friends and others to initiate a formal intervention.
Our interventions are led by a seasoned life coach and interventionist, Paul F. Singh, MA. The CEO of Holistic Life Change International, Singh has over 28 years of intervention experience. He has lectured at the former "Meet the Expert" series at the Mayo Clinics. The Betty Ford Clinic (Rancho Mirage) has had him listed as an alcohol and drug interventionist.
What it looks like.
Singh travels nationally and internationally to the family's home, usually within a week or two of an intervention request. He leads interventions gently, but firmly, finding and exploring root issues rather than focusing on the symptoms of addiction which are just surface outgrowths of what lies beneath. He leads everyone through simple, but profound illustrations to show how the root issue manifests itself in the client's spirit, soul and body.
After the intervention.
Afterwards, Paul Singh, together with a staff member and a loved one, accompanies the client to a top inpatient treatment facility for detox and a residential inpatient treatment program. We are also available for follow-up life coaching sessions to give you practical tools to deal with your addiction and help you grow into the person you want to become.

A yeast infection is a condition in many women that often does not get diagnosed because women often find these infections to be embarrassing. This just makes dealing with these infections more unbearable. For further info that will help make dealing with them less confusing, continue reading this article.
After you go swimming, you need to change into dry clothes as soon as possible. Wearing a wet bikini bottom is a big cause of yeast infections. Moisture is a breeding ground for yeast. If you cannot change or do not have dry clothes, use a blow dryer on a cool setting to dry the area and your suit.
Few people realize that anyone--man or woman--can develop a yeast infection. The most common cause of yeast infections in males is wearing tight, brief-style underwear. This style creates warm and humid conditions, which is the ideal environment for yeast growth. A better option is to wear boxers made of cotton or other natural fibers.
One tip that you should follow after you go to the bathroom is to always wipe from the front side to the back side to prevent the spread of bacteria. Follow this technique to prevent any spread of bacteria, which is one of the main causes of yeast infections forming in your body.
Avoid scented soaps and bubble baths in order to avoid yeast infections. Such products can contribute to yeast infections, by fostering the growth of the organisms that instigate the condition. Also, do not use tampons or sanitary pads with scents, as they have the same effect on the vaginal area.
After you use the restroom, make sure to wipe yourself from front to back. Wiping back to front can bring bacteria to the vaginal area, and this can cause many infections, including yeast infections. Wiping from front to back helps to keep this region of the body healthy and safe from harmful bacteria.
Do not wear tight pants, particular really skinny jeans. Skinnies may look great, but they allow for zero air circulation. You can develop or worsen a yeast infection by limiting the space between your clothes and your body. Instead, you should select light, airy pants that provide the crotch area with lots of comfort.
If you are trying to keep yeast infections away, consider adding garlic and fresh cranberries to your diet. These foods contain natural anti-fungul agents. When ingested, they can help to keep your entire body healthy. Adding a serving of each to your daily diet just might be enough to keep the yeast infections away.
Wash the vaginal area using a soap that is made for that area. You can find many different brands on the market with a little research. This type of soap will help protect the pH balance of your vagina and will not cause dryness. Choose these instead of soaps made for the entire body and you will avoid yeast infections.
Studies have shown that boric acid is a safe, inexpensive, yet effective remedy to kill toenail fungus. Check with your doctor first, and if he approves, try using a boric acid capsule once per day the next time you have a yeast infection flare-up. Do not use boric acid if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, as it has not been tested for safety in pregnant women.
It is common to get a yeast infection once in awhile, but if you are consistently getting one, it is important that you see your doctor. There may be a hidden cause of these chronic yeast infections that need the attention and care of your doctor. Once the underlying cause is take care of, your yeast infection frequence will decrease.
To cut down on your chances or impact from a yeast infection, stay thoroughly hydrated. The often you urinate, the more likely you are to flush excess sugars out of your system. This drastically cuts down on both your chances of a yeast infection and the lifespan of any current ones.
You should now understand that there is nothing to fear when it comes to yeast infections. While everyone's situation is different, many women will notice some of the same things about their infections that match the info in this article. Thanks to this article you will not need to suffer in silence!

Vatileaks Scandal Exposes Secrets Of Pope's Empire
Pope Benedict XVI wakes every morning between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m. in the papal apartment on the third floor of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, which overlooks St. Peter's Square. After bathing and shaving, he makes his way to his private chapel, where at 7:30 he celebrates the first mass of the day. After a time of private prayer in the chapel, at around 8:30 he joins Msgr. Georg Gänswein, his personal secretary, and a small circle of his closest collaborators for breakfast. The pope's preference is decaffeinated coffee, bread with butter and jam, and, once in a while, a slice of tart.
We know all of these details because the Vatican has sprung a leak. For centuries one of the tightest organizations in the world, with a code of honor to rival that of the Sicilian Mafia, it has been turned inside out in the past six months. A gusher of highly confidential letters to the pope and his closest associates, many of them originally in code, has poured into the Italian media and into a book, Sua Santità by Gianluigi Nuzzi, which became an instant bestseller. The leaks are just one in a string of scandals to rock the Vatican this year—the latest, in early June, involved the ouster of the head of the Vatican bank, who possessed documents that apparently showed the Church circumventing European money-laundering regulations. To combat the spate of bad publicity, the Vatican has gone as far as hiring a former Fox News reporter, who happens to be an Opus Dei numerary, to be one of its official PR flacks. But whether the pope and the Vatican establishment can recover their credibility is now a matter of serious doubt.
The target of the most damaging leaks is the most important and powerful figure in the Vatican besides the pope: the 77-year-old secretary of state Tarcisio Bertone. The leaks have been loudly condemned by the Vatican, and the man blamed for them—the pope's butler—may end up going to jail for years. But if the ambition that motivated the leaks was the sacking of Cardinal Bertone, they may yet succeed. Bertone's name recurs in letter after secret letter, as he plots to oust rivals as varied as the editor of the bishops' daily newspaper and the man sent in to clean up the Vatican's finances. Though Benedict is said to have turned down the cardinal's offer of resignation in late June, the informed consensus now is that Bertone's days are numbered. Though he may limp on into 2013, the leaks have done their corrosive work.
When he was elected pope in 2005, Benedict could hardly have imagined such a brutal turn of events. For nearly 30 years, a tiny, painfully shy German cardinal named Joseph Ratzinger lived a few steps from St. Peter's, in an apartment whose bookish austerity was mitigated by two cats and a grand piano at which he would relax by playing Mozart sonatas. He was Pope John Paul II's trusted hard-line enforcer of theological issues. When the Polish pope finally died, Ratzinger could have looked forward to a well-deserved retirement. Instead, in April 2005, he was elected pope and propelled to instant, worldwide fame. From then on, every step he took and every public word he spoke would be news. In compensation, within the Apostolic Palace that became his new home, he could expect perfect discretion, total secrecy. But someone in his household had other ideas.
"After the death of Karol Wojtyla"—John Paul II's baptismal name—"I started to put aside copies of certain documents of which I came into possession through my professional activities," wrote the anonymous author of the leaks. The speaker refused to reveal his name, adopting the code name "Maria" instead. He or she—along with others—had rebelled against a code of silence stretching back centuries.
"In the first years I did it sporadically," Maria went on. "When I saw that the truth which was published in the newspapers and in official discourse did not correspond to the truth in these papers, I put them all to one side to try to go deeper and to understand.
"In recent years the situation has worsened, hypocrisy reigns unchallenged. The scandals multiply ... In some moments in one's life, either you are a man or you aren't. The difference? Just the courage to say or do what you consider just. My courage was to make known the most agonizing events within the Church. To make public certain secrets, stories small and large which never get beyond those bronze gates."

One of the biggest of those stories concerned the attempt of a courageous bishop to come to grips with the Vatican's finances. For two years Carlo Maria Viganò labored at the work, uncovering appalling scandal and waste. But in 2011, Cardinal Bertone gave Viganò his marching orders. Viganò wrote a top secret letter to the pope that was a cry of agony and rage.
In the leaked letters, Viganò told the pope he could hardly believe what he discovered when he began combing through the Vatican's accounts. He went to work slashing grossly inflated budgets—for example, reducing the cost of the Vatican's lifesize nativity scene in the center of St. Peter's Square from $700,000 to $400,000; and saving more than $1 million in the maintenance of the gardens, which he funneled into renovating the pope's central heating system. In all, Viganò claimed to have converted a deficit of some $10 million into a surplus of $43.5 million. But in the process, he made powerful enemies, and on March 22, 2011, Bertone curtly told Viganò that he was fired.
In his letter, Viganò pleaded with the pope to reverse the decision. "My transferral ... would provoke profound loss and discouragement in those who believed it was possible to clean up many situations of corruption and prevarication," he wrote. The Vatican, he claimed, was "a kingdom divided into little feudal states ... [a] chaotic, an unimaginable situation."
But Benedict was unable to save Viganò; he was impotent to cross the will of Bertone. The indignant Viganò was instead dispatched to run the troubled Holy See's office in Washington D.C.
Why was the pope so weak? When Ratzinger was elected to the office in 2005, it seemed that an ultimate insider had got the job—he had been in Rome at John Paul II's side for 24 years. He had just presided over the Polish pope's funeral, one of those stupendous shows at which the Vatican excels. Under a Roman sky of brilliant blue, the huge elliptical piazza was crammed with tens of thousands of pilgrims, and all the magnificence of the Catholic Church was on display—the celestial choirs, the ranks of priests and nuns from all over the world, and the cardinals in their trademark purple. At the center was the tiny figure of Benedict himself, all in white, with the future of the Church in his hands.
Yet before becoming pope, Benedict had been a bookish introvert—his routine was fixed, and his circles of acquaintance very limited. His life was bounded by the walls of the Prefectural Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, formerly known as the Inquisition, which he headed. After his election, when the time came to make his most crucial appointment—that of the Vatican's second-in-command—he turned to Bertone, one of those who had served him faithfully in the past.
It is hard to imagine a man more different from Benedict. A tall fellow with small eyes like coals and a smile that flashes on and off, Bertone is a football fanatic who instituted the Clericus Cup, a tournament between Catholic seminaries. (It may prove to have been his finest hour.) He is effectively monolingual; when he preached in Spanish to a New York congregation, a Spaniard who was present was convinced Bertone was speaking Italian. He has presided over one papal gaffe after another. Perhaps the worst came when priests who had been illegally made bishops by the ultraconservative French Bishop Marcel Lefebvre were told they would be welcomed back into the Church. The announcement coincided with a television interview in which one of them, Bishop Richard Williamson, declared that he believed the Nazi gas chambers were an invention.
Yet what Bertone lacks in diplomatic finesse, he more than makes up in the efficiency with which he protects his own position. Bertone's job combines the powers of a foreign minister and a prime minister. Given the Babel of languages inside this most polyglot of institutions, and the fact that the Church must make its influence felt in countries as different and problematic as China, Russia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, the position of secretary of state is an immensely demanding one. No close observer of the Vatican can understand why Bertone is in it, yet the pope refuses to get rid of him. To remove Bertone would be a grave admission of error that could undermine Benedict's own authority. When, in a private meeting four years ago, a leading bishop demanded Bertone's replacement, Benedict snapped, "Der Mann bleibt wo er ist, und basta!"—"The man stays where he is, and enough!"
After becoming pope, Benedict had vowed to clean up the church. During John Paul II's long decline, venality and corruption had made terrible advances. He had his successes: in 2006, he removed Marcial Maciel, the Mexican founder of the highly conservative order, the Legionaries of Christ. After decades of being honored and held in high esteem, Maciel was exposed as a rapist, a pedophile, and a drug addict who had had families by two different women, and who abused his own children. Both Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Bertone's predecessor as secretary of state, and Bertone himself had once showered Maciel with accolades. (Maciel, who was ordered to spend the rest of his days in prayer and penance, died in 2008.)
But many other venal figures have remained in positions of influence, beyond the reaches of a man with great powers of intellectual analysis but few political gifts. To pick one example, Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston, who appalled millions of American Catholics with his long cover-up of priestly pedophilia, was allowed to preside over Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the most important basilicas in Rome. While Benedict was not personally involved in the scandals involving Law or Maciel, he was tainted by the mere fact of having held high office while they were taking place, and having done nothing to stop them.
Meanwhile, the Vatileaks scandal risks reducing the Church to impotence. No one yet knows for certain who is behind the leaks; the only person fingered so far is Paolo Gabriele, the pope's butler, who has been held for more than six weeks in a secure room in Vatican City. He has been charged with aggravated theft, which carries a sentence of one to six years, but could face other charges, including "causing offense or outrage to the figure of the pope."
Whoever orchestrated the leaks, one of their principal goals was clearly to expose the corruption and skulduggery surrounding the Vatican's finances. The Church depends on the regular weekly donations from the faithful. Between 2009 and 2010, while the pedophilia scandal was raging, St. Peter's alone saw its income from offerings plummet from $82.5 million to $67 million, a drop of 20 percent. In 2011, the Vatican posted its first deficit in years, a loss of $19 million. The new revelations are likely to be just as damaging.
Also at risk is the other thing that holds the Church together: free and frank communications inside the Vatican's walls. The tiny Vatican State—all 108 acres of it—has nearly 100 embassies. This flimsy and overextended structure, a cathedral made of matchsticks, depends for its survival on secure communications to and from priests, nuns, and bishops out in the field. Now they may hesitate to say what is on their minds lest it be splashed across the media. "Benedict is completely blocked now," says a German correspondent in Rome. "Everything he says is conditioned by this affair and the lack of confidentiality which has resulted. If you were a bishop with something important and confidential to say, would you write to him now?"

Program Overview
This website is archived for historical purposes and is no longer being maintained or updated.
Assessment is the systematic collection, assembly, analysis, and dissemination of information about the health of a community, and is one of the core functions of public health.1 The 1988 Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Public Health, emphasized the importance of strengthening the core functions and identified assessment as a fundamental requirement to guide public health decision making.2
To meet that need, CDC began the Assessment Initiative (AI) in 1992 in partnership with various state health departments. The AI supported the development of innovative systems and methods that improve access to health data and the way data are used to inform and guide leaders involved in planning, developing, and evaluating health policies and interventions. CDC currently funds the participation of nine states including Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
AI states collaborate with their local health jurisdictions and communities on two main areas:
- Community Health Assessment Practice
States develop and implement tools, strategies, and approaches to improve the capacity of local public health agencies and communities to conduct effective community health assessments.
- Data Dissemination Systems
States implement interactive Web-based data query systems for user-friendly analysis and dissemination of public health data to users including policy makers, researchers, public health professionals, and the public.
Public Health Impact
Over the years, AI activities included developing practical tools and electronic systems to improve population data access to users such as researchers, public health professionals, and the public. AI funds have been used to provide training to local and state public health professionals to increase interpretation, understanding, and use of public health surveillance data.
Outcomes of the AI have been disseminated to the broader public health community, including federal, state, and local health agencies and other partners. The AI has encouraged opportunities for collaboration and networking among funded states and organizations, and provided public health workforce training and professional development for state and local public health professionals through conferences, Web-based training, and research publications.

Selecting a good investigator
Or... how to protect yourself from an inexperienced investigator
What stops a licensed but inexperienced (or even incompetent) private investigator from putting him or herself on the web or advertising elsewhere and presenting themselves as a full-service investigation agency capable of taking on almost any kind of job? Absolutely nothing.
So, how can someone protect themselves from an inexperienced investigator with an alluring web site?
Don't believe everything a web site says.
Actually, don't believe ANYTHING a web site says. It might well be true, but don't accept it as "gospel" without doing your homework.
That said, have a good look around the web site. Are personal names provided along with other contact information? Does the site provide information about the company's background and other corporate details? Are their fees listed and do they provide you with any guarantees? Is their Privacy Policy available? Do they even have one?
Generally, the more information a company provides about their operations, the greater the chances they operate in an open and professional manner. Avoid web sites that seem to be all "show" and no substance.
Whilst the public image of a private investigator might sometimes be of someone who moves in the shadows and is very secretive, in reality a professional investigation agency should be seen no differently than any other service provider.
Get details of their experience
Speak to the investigator and get details of their experience. Ask them how long they have been a licensed PI and don't just accept general statements like - "I've been licensed under the Security Providers Act for years." Bouncers are also licensed under the same Act.
Ask them what areas they specialise in and inquire about the investigative processes they would employ in your particular matter. An experienced investigator will be able to respond without hesitation.
Are they licensed?
Check to see that the investigator is licensed. In Qld go to this web site. If the PI operates under a company name, also check at the same site to ensure the company has a Security Firm's Licence. If they employ other investigators, they need to have this licence as well as their individual investigator's licence.
Click on the relevant button for searching PI licences in other states. Unfortunately, there are no on-line licence search facilities for the Northern Territory. Private investigators are not required to be licensed in the Australian Capital Territory, but most are licensed in N.S.W.
Check out the PI company
Check the company name (get the correct name from the investigator) at the ASIC web site for free and see just how long it's been operating. Click here to go to the ASIC web site.
Whilst you're there, check out "JFA (Aust)" and you will see we have been incorporated since 1990.
Police background?
Don't be overly impressed by a lengthy police background with only a short period of experience as a PI. Yes, a lot of ex-police become private investigators and it's a good head start. But, PI work is very different to police work. Also, an ex-police officer doesn't have access to any more resources than a PI. He can't use an old police contact for information without risking both of them going to jail.
Get details of their professional indemnity insurer
Ask for details of their professional indemnity insurance. Who is it with, for how much and what is the account number? Most small-time operators won't have this sort of cover as it can be quite expensive. Any reputable agency will definitely have professional indemnity cover and will probably be happy to email you a copy of their policy.
A few phone calls and some web searches just might save you a lot of money.
WARNING: Before using any of the following PI Agencies, please read this blog entry first.
Sherman Roberts / Parker Taylor / Morgan Turner / Monte Investigation Group / Monte Spy / Spy Biz / Morgan Mason Steele / Morgan Turner Freeman / Kennedy Marshall / Fairchild Kirby / Jack Diamond Investigations.
Check if a PI is licensed?

On the Fence...Need Advice!
Lovenutz replied to AcesOverEights's topic in KK 411Re: On the Fence...Need Advice! KK owners are extremely happy with the technical side of KK - the quality of the unit, the range of different uses, the over the whole cooking experience with the Kamado and the fact that they last FOREVER and a day. This is the obvious reason you want to purchase one of these awesome creatures. They ARE definitely worth the cost. One small detail that most people forget to mention is that YOU choose what tiles to cover it with. Let your wife choose the tiles and design. Let her have a part in the KK you will both own. Having her invest in the KK and being involved in the choosing of the KK from the start should help her across the line. I guess it is a bit like choosing a house. You choose a house for the location, bedrooms, bathrooms etc etc but at the end of the day your wife chooses what colour goes where and how everything looks. It doesn't matter how much you SAY you chose those colours, we know who really made the decision...... Good luck and we look forward to hearing your stories
Uncrate your new Komodo the easy way
Lovenutz replied to Professor Salt's topic in KK 411Re: Uncrate your new Komodo the easy way I read this topic before I took delivery of "True Blue" and thought it would be a good idea to take some pictures of the uncrating to help people in the future. Remember this is a rough guide so please adapt it to suit your needs. Please excuse the fact that True Blue stays on the back of my ute (pickup) for the pictures. 1) READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL FROM DENNIS - Owner's manuals are written for a reason 2) Choose a suitable place for your new family member to live - Read "Choosing a site" in the owner's manual 3) Ensure your first cook is marinating and the "thankyou for your help/a job well done" beverages are chilling. 4) Organise for a mate to come around to help you unpack your new family member 5) Get the delivery person to place your new family member in the best position for you. This could be in an open area or right next to where the grill will live - remember the grill is heavy and it may be a big task to get the grill to it's final position. 6) Remove the protective cardboard from the crate 7) Remove the protective plastic from the crate Remove the 8 lagging bolts from the base of the crate - these are found on each corner of the pallet, 2 on each corner Step 1.JPG[/attachment:757thcu8] 9) Carefully remove the crate from the pallet and over the cooker - You will need help to do this. 10) Remove the wrapping plastic from the exterior of the grill - if you have a rotisserie it may be wrapped to the grill as shown in the picture 11) Remove the protective packers from the strategic positions on your new family member 12) Carefully open the grill (asking your new family member to "Ahhhh" might feel natural but it won't work) 13) Carefully remove all the goodies (grills, plates, stones etc) from inside the grill. Step 2.JPG[/attachment:757thcu8] 14) Close the lid and carefully remove the lid from the grill and place it somewhere safe and comfortable - Follow the instructions in the owner's manual 15) Remove the strapping from the base of the grill - be careful of the damper/hat/screw (whatever you want to call it) as it is strapped to the base with the same strapping as the feet 16) Place the damper/hat/screw somewhere safe and comfortable 17) Carefully lift your new family member to it's new home - The owner's manual has great instructions once again 18) Carefully replace the lid onto the grill - Once again, follow the instructions in the owner's manual 19) Remove the damper/hat/screw from the packaging - to do this you will need to remove the safety clip from the bottom of the threaded screw 20) Carefully screw the damper/hat/screw onto the lid 21) Open the lid and fit the safety clip to the threaded screw - this is improtant to stop you accidentally unscrewing the top damper all the way. 22) Fit the temperature dial guage to the hole in the lid using a sealant to create a good seal.

Lovenutz posted a topic in Forum MembersG'day everyone, After tasting an amazing grill in Argentina a few years ago while traveling the world (yes life is hard for some) I have searched for the best way to cook a flavoursome steak. This search has made many twists and turns and is now not a search for how to cook a flavoursome steak but how to cook the best food I can. After many hours of research and questions to friends I have placed an order with Dennis and I am now waiting for my KK to be manufactured. I hope to post a few topics on the forum and hopefully get a couple of pictures of my KK with a few locals checking it out. I will keep you posted..
New member - soon to be owner in Western Australia
Lovenutz replied to Lovenutz's topic in Forum MembersRe: New member - soon to be owner in Western Australia Well "True Blue" arrived a little while ago (about two weeks). Unfortunately, I was at work. I arrived home a couple of days ago and have unpacked my new family member and am currently warming him up for the first time. I am so excited. Dennis and his team have done a fantastic job and I was amazed at just how good the packaging and products are. All I need now is to perfect the cooking and I will be in second heaven. Good things do come to those who wait.
I can see I have my work cut out for myself....
Lovenutz replied to TheNakedWhiz's topic in Komodo GeneralRe: I can see I have my work cut out for myself.... I believe you could give Guy Ritchie a run for his money with a classic quote like that.

Pooling for economical delivery - West Coast
Lovenutz posted a topic in Komodo GeneralG'day Everyone, After a lot of research and questions to friends in the USA, I have finally decided to purchase a Komodo Kamado. After the amount of positive feedback I received I would be stupid to buy something else. I have contacted Dennis who very kindly sent through the chart of costs for the customs clearance etc. The chart shows that if a few people pool their orders together we can get the KK's through customs at a cheaper rate. I have not placed an order YET and would like to know if there is anyone else on the West Coast who would like to pool together for economical delivery. Cheers Cheers Lovenutz

The Living House has been a great transition between tertiary care and real life. I arrived at The Living House under chaotic circumstances but 3 months later I'm leaving full of hope with plans in place for the future. Lloyd, Catherine & Frances have really made my stay as pleasant as sober living can be. They are always willing to help and are open to negotiations of house rules under the right circumstances. I would recommend The Living House to anyone seeking some stability & support before re-entering into day to day living. Thank you, & kind regards
Dear Catherine and everyone else who has shared my time in The Living House. My time here has been well spent. My initial stay was very uneventful but in this most recent stay, The Living House has provided me with a solid foundation from which to build a future. During my time here I have finally organised my studies and without this place that may have never happened. Thank you for all your support on a day to day basis I really appreciate it. I'm leaving here with fond memories of my time here. Glad to be moving back to my sober life outside of rehab. Thank you again, and kind regards
The Love, care and support I have received from The Living House counsellors & my fellow house mates has been fantastic. I don't know what I would have done without it. Life felt a bit overwhelming coming out of treatment like I had no idea where to start. The phases process at The Living House has helped me to order things and ensure that my recovery continues to come first as I've begun to find my feet once more with work and life. I've had the support of my fellow housemates, who understands what I am going through. Realistically, I don't see how I could take those next steps without living in this kind of environment. My recovery has never felt better and I'm truly grateful for the professional care as well as the non professional support I've felt from both the staff & House mates. Thank you
Thank you very much Lloyd, for everything. This was my second stay at The Living House, and it was completely different to my first. Mainly, I think, because of my positive attitude and willingness, but also because of the changes in the house, such as the Just for Today morning groups. In any event, I really enjoyed my stay this time around, and it has allowed me to create a solid foundation for my recovery. I'm very sad to be leaving, but at least it's just down the road for now. Thanks also to Catherine – you have been a tremendous help, and I really appreciate all that you do. I will certainly stay in touch. Bye for now
Thank you Lloyd for accepting me as a resident here at "TLH" my gratitude speaks to you and my Higher Power for giving me this opportunity to get well and grow in my recovery and process of life on its terms. It has been a good base for me to be in and learn more about my stuff. You run a good house and it has been a privilege to have lived here for just over a year and I've felt safe here. This has been a gift in many ways thank you kindly again. I'll be in touch. Thank you!
My time at The Living House has been 3 months spent very well. I always wanted to live in a commune & this is probably the closest I will get to it. In my short space of 136 days of sobriety, 90 of this is a huge chunk and for that I am extremely thankful towards you and Catherine for supporting me. Thank you for understanding my late payments & tantrums about compulsory random testing, and the cat tantrum! I will miss the JFT and the Monday meetings and the firm way in which Frances conducted the sometimes heated exchanges. The 3 months has also given me the opportunity to learn aspects of myself – some of which I surprisingly like and others shockingly only realise I have. Lloyd you are brave to do what you do and your openness to learn as you go along is admirable and you should be proud of yourself. Catherine you are a pillar of strength and calmness in a sometimes very stormy sea. Thank you for everything
Thanks so much for the opportunity to spend some time here at The Living House, it was the perfect place for me to test out if I was ready to take the next step. Thanks Lloyd, Frances and Faith for being there, and especially to Telphyn who really was always a pleasure to have a chat with. All the best, will be popping in quite often.
I am eternally grateful for all the love, care and support shown to me by the guys at the living house. I've had a fantastic opportunity to make and bond with a new circle of friends in recovery who have supported me through this challenging process. Housemates who make me feel good about putting my recovery into action. Living the program has become fun and exciting and I have The Living House to thank! I spent 18 months in treatment before receiving help from the Living house and from here, I've been able to go out there into the real world and test the water, yet feel the safety net of returning home each day to the support of a recovery focused group of people. It's kept me on track long enough to learn how to cope with the outside world one day at a time and face the challenges as they arise. They say the real challenges lie in wait for a person only after leaving treatment and from past experience I have found that to be entirely true. Molehills quickly turn into mountains as seemingly small things become daunting. This has not been the case this time around. Finally I have found the opportunity to take things a day at a time and begin to try and reclaim the life that has been waiting for me outside of treatment. One which I can only hold onto if I learn properly how to grasp it and that is something the Living House has taught me how to do by providing me with the "training wheels" I need to take what I have learnt and practice it.
Thank you so much for everything. I have had an awesome time here and really found it the perfect balance of being able to take responsibility for my recovery and to work a program but also benefited from the weekly group which allowed me to review my week and check areas of my life and recovery needed more work. Having intended on staying 1month I ended up staying 4 as I enjoyed it so much! It is such a good balance to have other people in recovery around but to all have your own lives. I went through some difficult times emotionally here and found everyone very supportive, and helped me to deal with it without going back to old behaviours. Thanks to everyone – Lloyd you have been awesome to chat to, Frances has helped allot in groups, Faith has been good company and Talfryn you will always be a legend! I will miss you all-made some great friends here but will definitely be popping by often as I am just moving down the road!!! Thanks again

Art today is an increasingly multifaceted phenomenon, encompassing transgressive works that intervene in war, inequalities, ecological disasters, and revolutionary changes in technology. Carnal Aesthetics is a fascinating new examination of this aspect of contemporary visual culture. Employing recent theories of transgressive body imagery, trauma, affectivity and sensation, it provides a fresh look at the meeting point between the politics of representation and the politics of perception, through the prismatic lens of feminist theory._x000D_ _x000D_ Acclaimed scholars, including Griselda Pollock, Vivian Sobchack, Laura Marks, Erin Manning, Jill Bennett, and Martine Beugnet, analyse seminal case studies coming from different media: digital photography, video, film and multimedia art. They explore a number of transgressive movements that significantly reconfigure the relationship between the body and the image, challenging also the primacy of vision._x000D_... to the sensory basis of aesthetic experience.5 The first part of this essay will recapture the concepts of the grotesque and the carnivalesque.

Title - Pushed
Author - Kimberly A. Bettes
Ron Redwine is an up-and-coming author, a man whose lifelong dream of achieving celebrity status in the literary world is finally becoming a reality. But Ron isn't only a writer. He's also a sadistic serial killer who kidnaps, tortures, and murders women in his basement.
Nicole Lee is a beloved wife and mother. She's also the only woman who has ever escaped Ron's clutches. After being held in captivity for nearly a year, she found a way out, a way to be free once again and go back to her life. Only she can't. The life she knew before her abduction is gone. Separated from her husband and son, Nicole is psychologically broken. She spends months in a mental health facility trying to put the past behind her so she can return to her family.
Upon her release, Nicole hides herself away in a fleabag motel where she wrestles with her demons alone. When an interview on the local news advertises the last two stops on Ron's latest book tour, she becomes enraged. Furious that he's able to live his life happily while she's reduced to an existence filled with guilt and despair, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
Pushed too far, Nicole seeks her revenge, using Ron's own devices against him.
For mature audiences only.
If you dance with the devil then you are a fool, for you think you'll change the devil but the devil changes you - unknown
I want to start by saying since I read Held I have been anxiously awaiting the sequel. This was not how I expected it to but damn was it thrilling.
If you read Held in tears, mouth open and hoping to hell that Nicole would survive then you'll love this sequel. This is everything you were begging to happen in Held that we never got to see. I don't want to give too much away.
Nicole's life has taken a turn for the worse, she is not only having mental issues including nightmares and at points almost hallucinations but she is now distant from her family until her health is to improve. She holds guilt in her heart from not killing or stopping Ron and knowing that he is still out there haunts her.
Ron's life has suddenly became everything he ever hoped. He is a best selling author with over fifteen books under his belt and lives in a perfect home with a purpose built basement for his book research, we are given a glimpse into his latest victims showing how Ron has not changed.
Now this may contain minor spoiler so be warned if you continue reading.
Ron's past has never been divulged however at the start he does agree when a victim calls him a son of a bitch, to which it appears evident that his mother has something to do with his need for control. He believes with every fibre of his being that he loves Nicole, that he did right by her and that she should be grateful to him.
Nicole wants closure and although her version of events are not even a patch as gruesome as Ron's she does formulate a plan and her vengeance is blissful to read. Instead of reading with panic, I read with a smile as she fed him dog food and hosed him down like Nicole endured.
Pushed gives the reader closer, gives you your own revenge on Ron. If Held managed to scar you and you felt you needed a brain bleach after reading it, after this you'll feel content however slightly uneasy it sits.
Although I did notice sole minor plot holes or inconsistencies it was nothing to write home about.
I shouldn't love this mini series or maybe this author but - I am a little demented so I do.

Zimbabwe police probing at least 100 cases of alleged vote fraud in disputed election
[JURIST] Zimbabwean police have launched investigations into at least 100 cases of alleged fraud in the March 29 contested presidential election [JURIST report], officials said Wednesday. Police have arrested voters accused of voting multiple times in the election, as well as several Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) [official website] officials accused of accepting bribes to miscount votes in favor of Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) candidate Morgan Tsvangirai [BBC profile]. The government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] has pledged to root out the alleged fraud, but opposition supporters say the allegations are an attempt by Mugabe to hold onto power. AFP has more.
Official results of the presidential race have long been delayed, but a government official told CNN Wednesday that Tsvangirai had won 47 percent of the presidential vote and Mugabe had won 43 percent, forcing a runoff election [CNN report]. An MDC spokesman rejected the need for a runoff [AP report], saying that only a rigged election would produce the results that would necessitate one. Violence has wracked the country since the March election, with frequent clashes between opposition forces and government supporters. Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] Wednesday accused the Zimbabwean army of working with the ruling party [HRW report] to detain, torture, and murder political opponents, and urged the African Union and the UN Security Council to push for an end to the violence. AP has more.

Public Patent Foundation, Inc. v. McNeil-PPC, Inc.
As previously reported on this blog, in May 2013 the Federal Circuit issued an order summarily affirming a district court's decision dismissing a qui tam false marking case pursuant to the retroactive changes to the false marking provisions enacted by the America Invents Act ("AIA").
Last week, Public Patent Foundation filed a Petition for Writ of Certioari with the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the Federal Circuit's decision. Public Patent Foundation has asked the U.S. Supreme Court "[d]oes the retroactive application of the AIA's changes to the false marking statute to this case violate Petitioner's Due Process under the Fifth Amendment?"
This petition relates to a false marking case filed by Public Patent Foundation in June 2009. After the AIA was passed in 2011, McNeil moved for judgment on the pleadings as a result of the amendments made to the false marking statute and the retroactive application of those amendments. The district court granted McNeil's motion in 2012 and the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed the district court's decision in May 2013.
A copy of the petition can be found here.
