Blogging time! Getting back into regular blogging is going to be difficult - because I'm lazy. :p
One rainy weekend was spent going out to a car boot sale with MummyGeek for her birthday outing. Well, it was something to do. ^_^ Miss Vegan had told me about this a long time ago, and I thought I would give it a go. It's on every Sunday.
We took the bus C10 in front of the Imperial War Museum and got off at Pimlico Academy. It was raining really heavily and we only saw a few cars which we thought - Is that it? No, that was not the end of it. MummyGeek saw people coming out from around the corner, so we decided to give it a go.
Didn't realise it was a £1 entry (for the 11.30am entry) until the people in front said so. Oh well. Might as well give it a go.
Not much was going on... people sat in the rain selling their items and it was pretty much wet.
Thankfully there was an indoors section... some of the items were too pricey for a car boot sale. Miss Vegan told me later that I should be bargaining there... Woah. I'm allowed to bargain?!! Well if there's no price, then bargain away...!!
There are lots of nice cheap things there but I decided to skip. Maybe next time when the sun is out and when there's more sellers around.
Don't forget, this car boot sale is in a school playground area.
In the end I bought this box for Miss Vegan for £1 to put her change in. ^_^ Pretty isn't it?!
Address: Pimlico Academy, Lupus St, London SW1V 3AT

Entry prices: £5 at 10.15am and £1 at 11.30am

This is about learning to work tomorrow in the workplaces of the 21st century - including our own Gig City.
We clearly are not work-ready. And neither are our children.
A new study has found that local technology job growth in Chattanooga is still slower than in most of the country, despite Chattanooga's boast of the nation's fastest Internet service and the University of Tennessee's SimCenter.
Chattanooga ranked 174th -- in the bottom 10 percent -- among the 200 biggest metro areas in the Milken Institute's best performing city list. Nashville, without the Gig but with a Vanderbilt, is ready. It is ranked No. 14 -- up from 27 in 2012. We plummeted down from 80 in 2012.
Why? The answer is one word. Education. Education from kindergarten to advanced-degree programs. And it's not that the kids can't learn or the teachers can't teach. It's a community commitment, or lack of one, that is hobbling us.
Our leaders have been giving this problem lip service for years, and of late, some of them have grown insistent, as well they should. The paradigms for the Dynamo of Dixie -- and frankly for the rest of the world -- have changed.
"At every conference I go to, they talk about a need for an innovative economy in our country," Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke said recently. "We are quickly becoming a world in which automation and computers drive a lot of what happens in businesses. The ways in which workers add value is through innovation and ideas and creativity."
He's absolutely right, and our gig-per-second Internet network is a fantastic resource -- a foundation many cities would die for. But we have to find a way to use it other than as a slogan.
That starts by training ourselves and young learners to find ways to use 21st-century resources. The great irony is that in this time and environment, Hamilton County public school students still don't have individual computers and wireless networks even to just surf the web.
Superintendent Rick Smith made a big splash a year ago by announcing an ambitious plan to give all students iPads, or other tablet computers, both to enhance the classroom experience and to get schools up to speed for online tests by 2014. But neither he nor the school board has asked the County Commission for funding. Instead, Smith said schools would rely on support from parent and community groups, and on students bringing devices from home. One foundation locally has helped at six schools.
Look around. Coal plants are closing because not even the newest pollution scrubbers are enough to keep noxious fumes and carbon from the air and atmosphere. That's an old technology. Cars at the Volkswagen assembly plant here are being welded together by robots that put the Transformers to shame. Workers are there (about 2,500) to be sure the robots run right and have a constant feed source of parts. That's a new technology.
We watch movies and listen to music on all of our devices from watch-sized MP3 players to whole-wall televisions. We read books and newspapers on wireless electronic tablets. Not even Big Brother uses people like George Smiley and his shoe leather for spying anymore. Instead every thought we tweet on Twitter and scrawl on Facebook, along with the calls and texts and notes on our cellphones, are scooped up and bundled off to a bottomless cyberspace warehouse. We're using new technology every day, but we're not learning to work and build jobs with it.
Everybody in our workforce needs to be equipped to find work in this strange but ever-growing new world.
Yesterday's four-paragraph history lesson about Henry Ford's mass production conveyor belt and a book report won't get the job done, anymore -- if it ever did.
It's not just technology job growth that's suffering. Many local industries have told local and state officials that they have difficulty finding workers with work-ready skill sets -- from reading and math to critical thinking. Even traditional manufacturers, like La-Z-Boy in Cleveland, Tenn., can't find enough young workers trained in vocational basics.
State Gov. Bill Haslam's Drive to 55 initiative aims for 55 percent of Tennesseans to have at least an associate-level degree by 2025. Currently, the state's percentage of college graduates and technical certificate holders numbers just 32 percent. In Chattanooga, 22 percent have college degrees.
We already have much bigotry and intolerance baggage left around from our yesterdays. To improve our city and our region, and to finally narrow the income and culture gap, we need to focus on learning to work -- and teaching our children to work -- in the 21st century and beyond. That future is ours to innovate, but not without some creative thinking right now.

Why Create a Business Process Model?
While designing a BPM is extremely beneficial to the success of any ERP system implementation, we understand that it can be a difficult undertaking. While it may be more comfortable to "do what you've always done," this is an ideal time to take a step back to look at your processes to see what may need to change as you grow or what can be handled more simply.
Once the system has been created, it is important to identify sample data, which can be used to test the effectiveness of the system so that adjustments can be made as necessary. It is important to give users time to work through all the different scenarios and routines, so that once the system only goes live the daily processes are able to run seamlessly.
Building Your Model
Partnership is key to building a successful model that leads to a successful implementation. Your company brings its strengths, especially in the day-to-day operations of the business, and your software partner brings the its software knowledge and its experience working with diverse companies.
With an understanding of industry best practices, we can make BPM recommendations based on our experience in manufacturing and distribution.
Are you a small or medium-sized manufacturing or distribution company that is trying to simplify and streamline your business process? We can help!

"Chenin Blanc is the variety lying close to the heart of the wine farmers who have been growing grapes in the Breedekloof for generations," says Du Toitskloof Wines cellar master Shawn Thomson. "Over decades the vines have adapted to the local terroir and viticulture practices, and with the region's geography ensuring grapes ripen slowly, the complexity and character of Chenin fruit is found throughout the area."
Thomson says the 2017 harvest was ten days later than average, allowing extra hang-time to add dimension and flavour.
"Despite the dry winter and hot weather during spring and early summer, things cooled in the Breedekloof towards the last half of January with the lower temperatures providing conditions in which the Chenin Blanc and other grapes achieved terrific chemistry compositions," he says.
With the Breedekloof and Rawsonville being Chenin country, the grapes were all harvested from farms within a five km radius of the cellar. The vines, which grow in deep alluvial soils, are five to ten years old. To ensure they reached the cellar in the coolest possible condition, the grapes were mechanically harvested at night at 19°to 21° Balling and transported to the cellar enveloped in layers of dry ice to reduce oxygen contact. A mixture of greener and riper pickings results in a wine loaded with different flavours.
After crushing the mash was pumped to an enclosed press where it was kept on the skins for 24 hours to allow optimal flavour extraction. Only the free-run juice was then extracted and allowed to settle under reductive conditions. It was then cooled to -4° C and kept at that temperature for two to three weeks until all excess water in the juice had been frozen, a practice which increases the flavour concentration and the sugar level. The juice was then pumped out of the cold tanks and the temperature allowed to rise to 8° to 10° C where after it was inoculated with selected yeast strains. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13°C. After about 18 days the wine, now fermented dry, was protein- and cold-stabilised before bottling.
According to Thomson, this year's Chenin Blanc truly "erupts with flavour". "I find apple, pear, pineapple and tropical fruit on the nose as well as the palate. A medium-bodied wine, it has superb balance between fruit, acidity and residual sugar, ending with a crisp, pleasing taste on the palate."
Being a seafood lover, Thomson recommends enjoying this wine with grilled fish, oysters, mussels or a seafood-potjie.

(2nd version: 27th August 2016 /
3rd version: 23rd March 2017)
Thanks for coming by. – On this Help page you find some worthwhile information on how to register for the ASR – Advanced Study Room easily, playing the ASR league safely and how to login straight forward to get a full access to all features.
(1) Why safety and web security ? (Introduction)
We – the ASR Team – like to run the whole IT system and website of ASR – Advanced Study Room smoothly. It is one of the targets which has highest priority, since the project was overhanded end of June 2016 to new ownership (read here).
Therefore it is urgent for your own safeness that we set some technical hurdles by purpose, to make your own accounts and personal login data safe – as much as possible. E.g. using Re-Captcha registration and login processes to protect the ASR league against bot attacks and illegal spamming.
To give an idea about what we have to take care for: Actually the WordPress system – which is being used for running the website and forum – notices (illegal) attacks in the size of ~43,900 per year / 120 per day… steadily increasing, ~220% plus in last seven (7) months. Mostly done by illegal login and malicious registration attempts.
ASR uses different security mechanisms for a full protection (you will understand we wont talk about in details to the public). There is nothing to fear. – We know about the technical risks on the web, and we do all to make it and keep it a safe and enjoyable place for our Go community, which counts for now ~550 members in total, inclusive former (active) players, supporters, donors and our fantastic GO teachers.
We hope for your understanding to give serious concerns at these security issues.
Since April 2016 the ASR league has noticed more than 290 new registrations by Go players from around the globe – mostly coming from KGS Go server (status: end of February 2017).
It needs some strict principles to organize a league of such size :
- The ASR team, their members and any volunteers – either in the ASR Forum, the ASR chat room on KGS, via email or other medias (Facebook, Skype, Twitch.TV etc. …) – will never ask for your password.
- The ASR team, their members and any volunteers won't overhand you new passwords (directly/personally). – We keep them highly encrypted in the Wordpress MySQL database.
- If you should need a new password, it will be created newly by the WordPress regeneration process system itself, anonymously to us… and sent to your email address directly.
(Rec.: Actually the ASR Team is working on a full 'privacy policy'. The Cookie policy, Terms of Services/Use and Disclaimer have been finished shortly.)
(2) How to register ? – The best of 2 ways…
As ASR – Advanced Study Room uses the powerful WordPress content management system for its blog / website. There are two different ways to register.
(a) The classic registration page which uses "I'm not a Robot" and "Re-Captcha" identification: http://www.advancedstudyroom.org/register/
(b) We suggest you to use the safer procedure which will take only few minutes more of your time. It is worth to give it a try if yet not having used it. To ensure, that you use all safety benefits, login via a WordPress.com account (which is cost free). – Rec.: WordPress.com offers two kind of registrations ! One as author/user or a fully blog registration. For the ASR account you only need a user registration. No own blog required.
The idea is, that WP.com works steadily as a your personal "gate keeper". You login indirectly to the ASR website – to keep your identity and privacy more safe, with some more benefits that we have setup for you:
- Notify post author…
Send e-mail to an author (and/or others) of a comment/trackback/pingback on a post.
- Notify moderator…
Send e-mail to the moderator of the blog about a new comment that is awaiting approval.
For all comments on the website you like to give, you can (and should) use a profile name (called Avatar), without leaving the email address there. You will need later this profile (inclusive picture) for the ASR Forum and soon available new ASR league features (e.g. Video Community, Private messaging, Video Chat and others). – You also can use this login profile on many different other blog systems (e.g. Blogger).
It is easily done in a few steps:
- Register a free user account via WordPress.com and get a Gravatar (avatar) to secure your own Web identity here: https://en.gravatar.com/site/login
On Gravatar's website you then get a free WordPress.com account; a direct link is listed there. From now on, after having successfully registered your new Gravatar profile (linked with WordPress.com), every login on the ASR website will show your Gravatar image on the front page (in the side menu bar)…
It sounds more complicated than it is… but we like to suggest you this safest way to guarantee you privacy using a WordPress.com login to visit your own ASR profiles (which are only visible after login).
(3) How to Login ? – The safe way…
After you have registered successfully we recommend the following safest way; Use the direct login here with your WordPress.com account:
( We suggest NOT to use the simple Login here: http://www.advancedstudyroom.org/login/ )
Bookmark the safe login link in your browser to get quickly access there.
Alternatively, ASR offers the same link on the front page too. Whenever you come back, you get it on the menu bar in top right side. Simply click on the link "Safe Login (without JavaScript)" to get the upper named WP.com login page. If you login traditionally, same the system requests "I'm not a Robot" and "Re-Captcha" identification.
We configured the ASR website so you have the easiest handling 24 h x 7 d:
- New user notification to user…
Send E-mail with login credentials to a newly-registered user.
- Direct access to your own league profile…
- Access to the Game archive where you find all games that you have played (and those of your opponents)
(4) How to get a new password ?
You can very easily re-order a new one here:
You then get a personal message sent to your own email address with further instructions. The ASR Team is not being involved manually in this process.
The ASR team never will ask for your password or overhand you directly a new one !
We configured the ASR website so you have the easiest handling 24 h x 7 d:
- Password change notification to user…
Send e-mail to registered user about changing his/her password. Be careful with this option, because when unchecked, the forgotten password E-mail request will be blocked too.
- E-mail address change notification to user…
Send e-mail to registered user about changing his/her E-mail address.
- Password forgotten E-mail to user…
Send the forgotten password E-mail to registered user.
(5) Any further questions ? You need individual help ?

Haus Veronika is a newly renovated and much improved, disability friendly, holiday home that sleeps 12 (+ 1 infant). Located by the beautiful 'World Heritage Site' of Hallstatt, in the Dachstein ski region and surrounded by lake and mountain views, Haus Veronika in Obertraun offers unmatched space and comfort for larger groups. Situated a few meters from the free ski bus pick up, this traditional Austrian property benefits from recently refitted bathroom, en-suites and kitchen, giving Haus Veronika the perfect balance of old world charm and modern convenience. The accommodation briefly comprises: 6 Bedrooms (4 with En-suite), a modern well equipped Kitchen, Sun Room, Breakfast Room, Sitting Room, Family Bathroom with separate WC, Laundry Room, and a Garage. All of this is complemented by two balconies, both offering spectacular views across Hallstättersee.
The house is perfect for rent during any season. In the summer the house is available during the mountain biking season when more than 4000 participants compete in the Salzkammergut Trophy which is considered to be Austria's biggest MTB marathon. The long loop through the World Cultural Heritage Region Hallstatt-Dachstein-Salzkammergut is considered as one of the most spectacular marathon tracks in Europe! Bikers will enjoy an unforgettable weekend in Bad Goisern with a huge entertainment programme – the unicyclist downhill competition, Junior Trophy, helicopter sightseeing tours, live broadcast on LED screens, festival pavilion, visitor's spots, via ferrata tours, pasta party, bike expo area etc…
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Family run Chalet. We fell in love with the area within minutes of arrival and had to buy a property in Obertraun. Haus Veronika was the result!
Mark Cawood purchased this chalet in 2012
Great ciews from the Balcony looking over Lake Hallstatt and towards the Krippenstein mountains.
This was a great house for our large group. There are 4 bedrooms on the top floor and each have their own bathroom. Two bedrooms on main floor and they share a bathroom. Kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots and pans to cook meals and there is a nice induction stove. The balconies on both floors provide great views of the lake. Owner provided code to lockbox to access keys which allowed a flexible arrival and departure. Great communication via the HomeAway app. Hope to return again!
I don't like giving feed backs but in this case am very happy to do so. We had a wonderful time with all the family, I could nearly given it a 5 however, the little down side was that the cleaning lady wanted to come in very early and we decided to leave on the Saturday before 8am so that she could do her work without us in her way.
The situation of the house was great and the weather gave the younger members of our family many happy hours in the lake, playing Games on the grass and the soccer on the sand. WE appreciated very much our welcome by Mark and Jane and their willingness to be of help during the whole week.
It proved a very good choice for us and thank you very much to all who helped it happen for us Peter and Ann and all the family
We were a big group of 8 adults and 1 infants and this house was exactly what we needed. The owner was really helpful, right from the beginning all the way up to the end of our stay. Mark and Jane, who live across the street and have a B&B usually help with the check-ins and since we were not going to arrive at the house before 10pm, I had exchanged emails with them and Mark was really helpful in getting the property cleaned and well prepared for our arrival including setting up the baby cot. I did meet them next morning and they were so helpful and friendly! Mark told me about this amazing bakery in town called Eduscho which is only open from 7am-12pm. They have the most amazing coffee and assortments of breads. The town of Obertraun is really very charming with a few amazing restaurants and a grocery store. We spent 4 days in this lovely house while exploring the nearby town of Hallstatt, Bad Ischl, Bad Goisern, Bad Aussee, Altausee, Ebensee etc. Did I mention that the house is a mansion? :) The kitchen was well equipped for breakfasts and dinners for our big group. I really loved the game/drawing room in the basement where we spent most of our evenings playing cards, Wii, monopoly and pictionary.
I would definitely recommend this property!
The house is as described and was quite spacious for our group of 11 people. The property was clean and well prepared for our arrival. We were able to get all our questions about the house and the town quickly answered while we were there. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing breakfasts and dinners for our group.
The house is well located for hiking, biking and is close a lakeshore beach.
I would recommend this for a big family or group stay.
We were a group oft 10 adults and 2 children and stayed 1 Week in this chalet in obertraun.
It is a big house with enough space and everything you need inside. Some men Were disappointed about no austrian TV …😋
It was clean and we liked the possibility to recycle our garbage.
The cellar is huge and has a separate Entry so it was perfect for our bicycles and buggy.
Mark is a very nice guy who helps instantly whenever you need something and gives good advice for Restaurants. We loved the "höllwirt" amazing food, good prices, huge playground and terrace.
The only thing i would like to improve : in some bedrooms there is no sunprotection at the Windows installed. So it is kinda bright early in the morning.
Thanks for a wonderful vacation at a beautiful place.
This is a wonderful rental home in the Salzkammergut. Very quiet and peaceful with lots of room, you are close to Hallstatt and to the Dachstein mountain hiking. The house is clean and well maintained on a nice side street. We were met at arrival by Jane and Mark from the B and B across the street. They were so helpful and friendly! The town of Obertraun is charming with a few restaurants and a grocery store. I would highly recommend this property!
A great retreat for Summer Hiking or mountain biking and Winter Skiing. There are various Hikes which can start front the front door of Haus Veronika. Views from the local mountain (Krippenstein) 2km away, are a must see as is the World Heritage site of Hallstatt 3km away or a beautiful boat ride across the lake. Free WIFi Internet, SKY TV (UK). More details can be found here http://www.booking.com/hotel/at/haus-veronika-obertraun.en-gb.html?sid=b1e5b5449f31d7ad11d1a8acdd0ae310;dcid=4

Trick O'Treat This Halloween
Halloween as it is celebrated these days is but a pale representation of its rich and multicultural history. It is not, as some would call it, a celebration of the Devil or of Hell or of the Damned, but rather a blending of the celebrations marking the end of the growing season.

Handy Tip: CTS stands for "copper tube size" which is a nominal pipe size. This means that the outside diameter will be 1/8" bigger than the "size" of the pipe.
Need to seal your pipe threads? Click here for PTFE tape and pipe dope.
To ensure our customers receive fresh products, TU-555 pipe joint compounds are non-returnable.
Do not use with gas, fuel oil or compressed air applications.
John Guest fittings are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK by John Guest Speedfit in compliance with AB1953, ASTM F877, CSA B137-5 and ASSE 1-61. These connectors use a grip then seal collet arrangement. Simply push the fitting fully onto the pipe and twist the plastic nut to lock in place. These fittings help ensure an easier working environment in confined spaces and removes the need for tools.
Per the manufacturer these basic guidelines should be followed when using these fittings.
Plumbing: While not required, John Guest recommends the use of pipe inserts for plastic pipe connections with John Guest products in Standard Residential Plumbing (hot and cold water) installations.
Heating: John Guest requires the use of pipe inserts for plastic pipe connections with John Guest Speedfit products in all Heating installations.
Q. "What does Spigot mean?"
A. Spigot references one side of a fitting that will fit inside a "push-fit" fitting. The manufacturer of "push-fit" fittings refers to this as a "stem".
Q. "What does CTS mean?"
A. CTS stands for "copper tube size" which is a nominal pipe size. This means that the outside diameter will be 1/8" bigger than the "size" of the pipe. For example, 1/2" CTS has an actual o.d. of 5/8", 3/4" CTS has an actual o.d. of 7/8", and 1" CTS has an actual o.d. of 1-1/8".
Q. "Do you offer any other push connect fittings?"
A. Yes, we also offer these great quick connect (push to fit) fittings: ProBite® fittings and SharkBite® fittings. If you are looking for other fittings and/or tools, please see our pipe fittings index page.
Q. "Can I plumb these John Guest quick connect fittings behind the wall? And will I need an access panel or box?"
A. Yes, these John Guest fittings can be plumbed behind the wall. The fittings do not require an access panel unless they are used in a concrete slab application.
Q. "What are the PEI series Speedfit quick connect fittings made out of?"
A. The fittings are made out of PEX (Polyethylene cross linked) with the exception of the brass and polysulfone male adapters.
Q. "Can these Speedfit quick connect fittings be used for hydronic heating?"
A. Yes. If using PEX pipe the fittings must be used with an insert fitting. Copper pipe will not require an insert fitting.
Q. "Can these John Guest push-in fittings be buried in soil?"
A. No, we do not recommend burying the fittings.
Q. "Why do some of the quick connect fittings say 'spigot' and what does it mean?"
A. A "spigot" is the term used for a plastic, non threaded, male end of a fitting that is the same size as the pipe used to fit into the female or hub end of the same pipe sized fitting. The spigot end will fit into (inside) a "push-fit" fitting, such as a tee or coupling or elbow. This spigot end is used in place of pipe to help reduce the need to buy extra fittings.
Q. "Do I need to use a pipe insert every time I connect a PEX tubing to a fitting?"
A. Yes, the inserts are to be inserted inside the end of the PEX tubing and help ensure that the shape of the PEX tubing is kept circular, making for a better seal between the outside diameter of the pipe and the 'O' ring. They also make PEX tubing more rigid, helping prevent 'weeping' past the 'O' ring if a side load is applied.
Q. "How do I disconnect these quick connect fittings?"
Q. "Can these John Guest push-in fittings be used for swimming pool re-circulation lines?"
A. No, unfortunately, John Guest push-in fittings are not suitable for use in water systems containing high levels of chlorine.
Q. "Are John Guest push-in fittings able to be used for compressed air piping?"
A. No, absolutely not. John Guest push-in fittings must not be used for compressed air applications.

Spring is a great time to get family portraits taken. Perhaps your family has grown or at least, your children certainly have. The warmer weather lends an element of joy to the atmosphere and it's the perfect time to capture a special memory. There's also graduations, holidays, birthdays, and many other reasons.
Jcpenney portrait studios is offering a great deal for the month of April. For $20, you can get 6 traditional portrait sheets and you can mix and match sizes and images, plus get one free $9 sitting fee. My favorite part of that deal (besides the awesome price of course) is that you can choose different images. Often the package deals only apply to one picture and that can be so hard to choose from when you have so many photos. With this deal, you don't have to sacrifice price to get the pictures you want.
With our family of six, it can certainly be an adventure to get photos taken. But I've learned a few things. Here's a couple of my personal portrait-taking tips:
- This is pretty common sense, but make sure you time it for when your kids are likely to be happiest. For my family, that's early morning – before nap times and not in the afternoon, when my little ones might be crankier.
- Include small children's favorite stuffed toy or "lovey" – ragged or not. It's part of who they are and it might mean the difference between a happy child or not.
- This is my biggest tip – don't stress about the photo being perfect. I used to put such emphasis on getting everyone to smile perfectly. But one day it occurred to me – they might not all be smiling – maybe one child is poking another, maybe one is making a funny face. But that's life. Perfect smiles aren't reality and I'd rather remember my family as happy and carefree than perfect.
Keep jcpenny portraits in mind as you plan your next family photo and with the great discount this month, what have you got to lose?
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of jcpenney Portrait Studio. I was asked to create a Pinterest Board and pin at least five (5) pins. I give jcpenney the right to repin any or all images/original content from this board. I received a promotional item as a thanks for my participation.

Former child star Mackenzie Phillips said Wednesday she had a 10-year affair with her father, John Phillips, who was a leader of the 1960s pop group the Mamas and the Papas.
Mackenzie Phillips writes in her new book, "High on Arrival," that her father raped her when she was a teenager and that her sexual relationship with him later became what she termed "consensual." She said she had sex with her father on the night before she was to get married in 1979 at age 19, according to People magazine.

Sam Bailey thinks Katie Hopkins could cause someone to commit suicide with her cruel jibes.
The 2013 X Factor champion has been involved in a number of arguments with the former Apprentice contestant, who referred to her as a "fat mum in a jumpsuit", and she worries one day Katie's going to take it too far.
She said: "I worry she could do it to someone that's really depressed or on the brink of something... L'Wren Scott, no one knew she was the way she was. It only takes one thing to push someone over the edge so they commit suicide and she could be that person that upsets someone that much that they take their own life.
"I wouldn't like to be in her shoes. It's a matter of time before she upsets the wrong person."
Katie is also known for criticising people's parenting techniques, but Sam - who is expecting her third child with her husband Chris - refused to return the insults.
She told BANG Showbiz: "With regards to comments she makes about other people, it's very hurtful.
"But I'm not going to say she's a bad mum - she puts clothes on her kids' backs.
"I don't know what she's like at home but I wouldn't want to be one of her kids. You want to be proud of what your parents do."
Sam's debut album 'The Power of Love' was released last Monday.

Antonio Vidarte
I am
Antonio wrote his first piano composition at age ten followed by a piece he wrote for his local church at age thirteen. During his four years of studying music at Vanguard University, Antonio had the opportunity to go on tour with the Universities Orchestra playing percussion and piano. During tour he performed in different cities and states such as New Mexico, Organ and Vegas Nevada and prestigious venues such as the Segerstrom Performing Art Center in Orange County California. Performing was an experience he would never forget but writing music is his main passion, so he began to score student films. Soon after the opportunity arrived to compose music for several independent films that are mentioned on IMDB such as the "Number 2 Pencil" and "Becoming Bergdwarf." His two favorite composers who have influenced his writings are Brahms and Beethoven. Brahms for his memorable melodies and Beethoven for his dark and haunting expressions that was felt in every musical note. Antonio Vidarte takes his past experiences in life both negative and positive and canvas these emotions throughhis music.
With "I am" A. Vidarte launches his debut solo Album. His exposition to a variety of music at such a young age broadened his appreciation for both the culture and history of music. Not only found classical music intriguing but Melodic Trance as another tool of expressing emotion. From Disco records from artist such as the BeeGees and Kool and the Gang and 80's electronic music. All directed by Antonio to the genre of Melodic Trance. He believes that it is the driving beat and melody in Melodic Trance that can take a listener into another world.Inspired by artists such as Armin Van Buuren he produce his own take in Melodic Trance music.
Open your mind to all possibilities and listen to this extremely Melodies driven Trance album. But I won't want https://besttrackingapps.com/spybubble/ itunes database to lose the files

"How was your day?"
"What did you do?"
"Whom did you play with, kanna?"
"What did you play?"
"I'm hungry Amma."
It's always so hard to get our kids to talk to us. It's like they have their day, and then they're done with it; they move on. But we weren't with them at school. To make sure that nothing untoward happened, or to help them out with some trouble they're having, we need to get them to speak about what they did and how much they liked/ disliked it.
The question is: how? The Cruciatus Curse is sort of too extreme for our own little children, and Veritaserum isn't that much better. So listen to what Sara Ackerman did, in a stroke of genius, as she describes in her story for The Washington Post.
When school began this year, I tried a new approach at the dinner table. "Do you want to hear about my day?" I asked my daughter.
And on that day and every day since, she has never said "no." So I tell her about meetings and photocopying, the jammed printer and how I lost and found my keys. I tell her about the games on the playground, the lessons I taught and how many kids asked to go to the nurse. I start with taking attendance in the morning and I end at dismissal. I am a teacher — at her school — although her class is on a separate campus.
Then, like she's taking her turn in a game of Go Fish, my daughter tells me about her day. I learn what book she listened to at the library, that she changed from her rain boots to her sneakers by herself, and the cause of her brief venture into timeout. She tells me who was classroom helper and who she sat next to at snack time. She sings "Itsy Bitsy Spider" for me, crawling her fingers up the invisible water spout above her head. She leans in close. "Did you make letters in sand today?" she whispers. "I did that!"
Although being a teacher may make my days relatable to a child attending school, I think my daughter is most interested in unveiling the mystery of what I do when I'm not with her. It doesn't matter whether you're a software developer, a cashier, a blogger, a doctor, a bus driver or a stay-at-home parent, because it's not about the minutiae of the work. It's about sharing what makes us laugh and what bores us, the mistakes we make and what is hard for us, the interesting people we meet. When I model this for my daughter, she is more willing to share the same with me.
Work is usually the last thing I want to talk about when I get home. I often think that a rundown of my day would be a bore to anyone, including me. Maybe my daughter finds listing all her cutting and pasting and cleaning up blocks equally tedious. But I delight in hearing the details of her day, just as she delights in mine.
Tonight at the dinner table, as my daughter inexpertly wielded her knife and fork and I started talking about tomorrow's plans, she interrupted.
"Mom? Aren't you going to tell me about your day?"

Mudpuppies spend their entire lives underwater and are distinguished as the only salamanders that make sound—a dog-like barking.
Fast Facts
- Type: Amphibian
- Diet: Carnivore
- Average life span in the wild: 11 years
- Size: 8 to 13 in (20 to 33 cm)
- Did you know?
- Fishermen who hook mudpuppies will often cut their line rather than touch these extremely slimy amphibians, believing incorrectly that they are poisonous.
Mudpuppies, also called waterdogs, are one of only a few salamanders that make noise. They get their name from the somewhat embellished notion that their squeaky vocalizations sound like a dog's bark.
Among the largest of the salamanders, mudpuppies can exceed 16 inches (41 centimeters) in length, although the average is more like 11 inches (28 centimeters). Their range runs from southern central Canada, through the midwestern United States, east to North Carolina and south to Georgia and Mississippi.
Mudpuppies live on the bottoms of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, and never leave the water. They hide themselves in vegetation and under rocks and logs, emerging at night to feed on whatever prey they can catch, including crayfish, worms, and snails.
Mudpuppies are easily distinguishable by their bushy, red external gills, which they grow as larva and never lose. They have flat heads, wide tails, stubby legs, and feet with four distinct toes. Their bodies are gray or brownish-gray with blue-black spots.
Females lay large clutches of eggs and guard them until they hatch, a unique trait among salamanders.
Mudpuppies are common throughout their range and have no special conservation status. However, habitat loss and pollution is putting pressure on some local populations.

GamerNode Senior Editor Mike Murphy writes: "Toward the end of this seventh console generation, certain games emerged that dared to question just what makes a video game a video game. Though not as extreme a case as Heavy Rain, LA Noire is without a doubt one of the most notorious examples. The game's insistence on a more story- and character-focused experience provided gameplay that harkened back to classic adventure titles made by LucasArts and Sierra Entertainment in the '80s and '90s, yet remained innovative enough to become something all its own..."
Havn't played it yet, but i havn't heard thaat good things about it. Should i try it?
No. No. No. God No. Hell No..........
This game is flawed at its core. Its gameplay is basically walk around aimlessly until your controller vibrates, then you interrogate someone, then you go somewhere to chase someone, then you interrogate them with the end goal of choosing between two or three suspects (usually two). Rinse and repeat for hours on end. The story wasn't even that good. One of the worst games I played this generation (to be fair I try to avoid crap games but this game is a pretty looking piece of crap)

1. When you are practicing with your equipment and someone walks past and says, "Don't hit me!" If they were afraid of being hit, then they shouldn't have walked past you in the first place.
2. When someone touches, uses, or takes your equipment without asking. Colorguard people are very territorial.
3. When the band director "forgets" to tell the guard about that parade, performance, or competition that the marching band is going to and you don't find out until the day before. Or the morning of, when the guard captain is calling your house at 5 am asking where you are. I was sleeping, thank you very much.
4. When the guard gets blamed for not knowing their work. Maybe if the band would learn their music, then we could actually perform our work without going "I don't remember that part in the music."
5. When we get stuck lugging all our equipment around at winterguard competitions because the band director, again, "forgot" to get us a crew together. Hello, exactly what do they do all day?
6. When bus drivers get mad at you for putting on makeup or changing on the bus. You're thinking, "I have done this before, I'm not going to poke my eye out with the mascara wand. Promise."
7. When you're on the bus and the person in the seat in front of you has their window open. Yes, I did fix my hair before we left, but I guess I'll do it again!
8. When the drill team gets to football games before the band and takes up all the colorguard room, so we have to get squished into bottom row of bleachers, or sit in a single file line down the side, etc.
9. When the guard has to march in front of the band at parades, and we get blamed for walking too fast/slow. We are keeping up with the drum majors, thank you very much!
10. When the colorguard gets the smallest coverage in the yearbook, and even then it's considered lucky to get 3 pictures. We do exist, you know.
11. When you've done really good at competition and the band director doesn't get an announcement made on the intercom. You listen through all the stupid football scores and student council announcements, and then, BAM! the announcements are over and, yet again, there's nothing about colorguard.
12. When your instructor shows you a different toss for the show and you go home and practice all weekend, and get it down perfectly, and then she changes it the next day.
13. When you can never find a place to practice, because cheerleading has the gym, drill team has the commons, and your tarp won't fit in the band hall.
14. When your instructor has to keep things a secret forever; like the show music, what your outfits look like, what the judges had to say, etc.
15. When the band director doesn't know how to work the lift on the equipment truck, so it's midnight after a football game and you're stuck at the high school having to wait while he calls the truck company to get directions.
16. When you're pulling out the floor and setting up your props at a winterguard competition, and they get your name or song wrong, or just flat skip your guard. As if it weren't stressful enough.
17. When you're on the football field, standing at parade attention for the pregame show, and you have to stand there for 15 minutes while they announce all the cheerleaders, the drill team gets on the field, and both of the football teams run out. Umm... why can't we perform and then they do all that?
18. When the announcer at a winterguard competition asks, "Are the judges ready?" and you have to stand perfectly still and smiling for 2 1/2 minutes while some judge gets back from their potty break. That is what the scheduled breaks are for!
19. When you see a winterguard at competition that has brand new outfits, silks, equipment, props, and a professionally done floor. That's great for them, but it sure makes all our duct-taped together props look really sad...
20. When you're running around to get all your equipment set at a football game, and the drum major starts before you're in your spot. How hard would it be to wait another 15 seconds for us to get set?
21. When you're trying to get in the stadium at a winterguard competition, and you're still in your uniform, but they still ask to see your stamp. It's like, "No, I'm not in guard. I just dress up like this for fun." Sure.
22. When you have been at band camp all day, it's 95 degrees outside, and you've had one water break. There are child labor laws, you know.
23. When you are trying to make a line, diagonal, or arc, and there is that one person who is blatantly sticking out and refuses to get themselves in line. Are they trying to ignore it, or can they really not tell?!?!
24. When the colorguard class doesn't get advanced credit, even though we practice WAY more than the top band, that does get advanced credit. Who are the ones that give up school nights, weekends, major school events, and school holidays??? Who seems most deserving???
25. When the cheerleaders take up all the room on the bulletin boards with their posters for tryouts that were LAST WEEK! We're not rude enough to take them down, so we just have to tape ours to the walls.
26. When that somebody on the team who always fails expects to have their spot back when they miraculously pass. Umm, no, you missed your chance back in SEPTEMBER!!!!
27. When the pit percussion has their equipment WAY over the front sideline. Do you realize we have flags that go there???
28. When those same pit percussion people MOVE your equipment off of the front sideline (for whatever reason) and don't put it back! Hello, it was there for a reason!
29. When you don't have time to go shopping at competitions. If this is how I am going to spend my whole high school life, then I want to have a whole wardrobe/letterjacket to prove it!
30. When somebody always complains, "I don't get it, I give up, I don't want to practice, etc." If you didn't think colorguard was hard work, then you've got a new thing coming!
31. When your director or officers won't call people out for doing something wrong. Colorguard is not the place to worry about hurting other people's feelings... we can take it! When leaders won't call people out, those people stay oblivious to their mistakes, and the guard looks bad. Believe me, we will understand and not take it personally when we get told to fix something!

Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Bernie Sanders in Monday's Iowa caucuses with 100 percent of precincts reporting, according to results announced by the state Democratic Party early Tuesday. The Associated Press declared Clinton the winner.
Clinton took the stage at Nashua Community College shortly after noon Tuesday, saying she was "so thrilled to be coming to New Hampshire after winning Iowa." She said she's now won and lost in Iowa and "it's a lot better to win."
Earlier at the event, New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan described Clinton as "the first woman to win the Iowa primary."
The final Iowa results show Clinton received 49.8 percent of the vote and Sanders received 49.6 percent. Next up: The first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire Feb. 9.
The contest could now stretch easily into March with Clinton forced to fight for a nomination many had long assumed was hers for the taking.
Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, galvanized a group of Democrats including many younger, first-time, low-income voters, promising to be the champion of the underpaid, overworked American worker.
In an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe Tuesday morning, Sanders said he isn't sure he won't contest the results in Iowa.
"We look forward to doing well here in New Hampshire," Sanders told MSNBC's Kasie Hunt. "And after that, we're off to Nevada and then South Carolina, where I think we're going to surprise a whole lot of people, just as we did in Iowa.

Thin mints, #cawlidgehawkey, chicken parm, dangle-snipe-celly -- John Buccigross flexes a heavy hockey vocabulary, so it's no surprise he's a fan of the State of Hockey.
Minnesota Hockey Journal caught up with the ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor and college hockey TV broadcaster to talk hockey in Minnesota and beyond.
MHJ: What are your thoughts on community-based hockey and the system we have in place in Minnesota?
John Buccigross: I wish it was copied all over the country, in all 50 states. Hockey is a great enough game to be played and loved everywhere.
MHJ: From the perspective of an outsider that loves hockey, what is it that Minnesota is doing right to earn the status of the State of Hockey?
JB: The passion. It means more. Where there is interest and passion, in anything, there is talent.
MHJ: How are tiny towns in Minnesota able to produce college, NHL and Olympic talent (see: Warroad, Roseau, Spring Lake Park, Little Falls, etc.)?
JB: Because of what it means to the state. There is a goal, a realization that it is possible.
MHJ: Outdoor hockey. Are kids doing enough of it these days?
JB: Probably not. The more they play without coaches the more instinctual they will be.
MHJ: Why won't the NHL give Minnesota a Winter Classic?
JB: They got an outdoor game finally next year it looks like. It never made sense to me.
MHJ: Have you ever been to the Minnesota state high school tournament?
JB: I haven't been but it's on my bucket list.
MHJ: Would you ever consider doing the play-by-play for the state high school tournament?
JB: Yes!
MHJ: You're a certified USA Hockey coach. What's your favorite part about coaching?
JB: I love interacting with the kids. I'm the kind of person that sees everything and forgets nothing. I like pointing out small things the kids did well and telling them over and over again. They light up when you mention something they did well that even they didn't realize was a good play.
MHJ: Is the future bright for hockey in America?
JB: Yes. USA Hockey continues to produce high-end talent. It will only continue to grow.
MHJ: You do a lot for the game in terms of visibility. Why?
JB: It's a great game with great people. The values it teaches makes great people. I want people to see the light.
MHJ: When will the Wild win their first Stanley Cup?
MHJ: Your love of college hockey mirrors that of Minnesota's. What is it about the college game that you're so passionate about?
JB: The game is fast and fun. The players and coaches are so passionate and fun. They don't get the attention they deserve and I want to give it to them.
MHJ: How does hockey prepare young people for the real world?
JB: It teaches them commitment and accountability. Sacrifice, selflessness and love are all a part of the game at every level and from every portion of the experience -- parents, coaches, teammates. Hockey has the biggest heart in the room.
Tweet your outdoor hockey photos to @MNHockeyJournal and @Buccigross for a chance to win a prize.

November 27, 2013 (CHICAGO) --The eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukkah begins Wednesday night at sundown.
Governor Quinn will be among those at the state's annual menorah lighting ceremony at the Thompson Center Wednesday afternoon.
It begins at 3 p.m. and features a menorah made of food cans for victims of the recent tornadoes.
A giant menorah at Daley Plaza will be lit at 4:30 p.m.
In Washington D.C., the world's largest menorah will be lit later on Wednesday.
Jews celebrate Hanukkah over 8 days by lighting candles on a menorah.
It commemorates the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem centuries ago.
Tradition also has it that a candelabra miraculously burned for 8 days with only one day's worth of oil.

StreetWise, the Chicago publication for the homeless, will continue to print its weekly editions after a series of well-timed donations and funding challenges carried the magazine past the $75,000 total it said a week ago it needed to raise to survive.
Last week, the magazine's publishers and board members announced that plummeting foundation support meant it could face closing by the end of next month unless other sources of income were found.By Tuesday, donations had surpassed that amount, said StreetWise board vice chairman Pete Kadens -- including a single donation from Jim and Kay Mabie for $25,000 that came with a matching challenge to other potential donors.
A board member, U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, also donated $1,000 last week. Smaller donations have been pouring in as the magazine's plight has been publicized. Larger donations also came in, Kadens said.

I see a kind of thirst in her expression, the same one I saw when she told me about her brother in the back room of the tattoo parlor. Before the attack simulation I might have called it a thirst for justice, or even revenge, but now I am able to identify it as a thirst for blood. And even as it frightens me, I understand it. Which should probably frighten me even more.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg – Traveller
The Lord Weird Slough Feg made an album named Traveller. (I have this CD.) This is about a non canon adventure in the Spinward Marches. Baltech Budapest is a space pirate. Professor Rickets pays him to go to Querion subsector. There he finds an important secret about the Vargrs.
Traveller – Julia Ecklar
It's not just The Lord Weird Slough Feg that plays Traveller Music. Julia Ecklar's Traveller music is quite different (from Slough Feg).
Greg Lee
These type of posts are the ones I hate most to write. I still think it is important to do so. Gregory P. Lee has now joined the growing group of absent friends. 🙁
Greg Lee was an active member in the online Traveller community. He may be most known for his amazing Cirque adventure published by his Greylock Publishing Lines. For Traveller he has also published Lee's Guide to Interstellar Adventure.
This is what he wrote in my copy of Cirque.
Greylock Publishing Lines was also a generous sponsor of the first Amber Zone contest.
Greg was also working on a new Traveller product, that some of you may have heard of. He has written a Traveller novel called Cirque: The Usual Suspects. I was one of the lucky ones who got to read a copy. It is a great novel set in the universe that I love. The novel is describing events that happened before the adventure called Cirque. An interesting idea about Rhylanor that was first presented in the MgT Alien Module 4: Zhodani by Donald McKinney is used in the novel.
Just for fun I generated a map without hexes for the main area of space (Rhylanor subsector) of the novel.
Follow this link to read something that Greg wrote about the novel at the Traveller RPG facebook group.
I really hope that this novel will be published. It is too good to be lost.
RIP Gregory P. Lee 🙁
Donavan Lambertus
Very sad news about Donavan Lambertus that has suddenly left us and now joined the growing group of absent friends. 🙁
(More information at facebook.)
Donavan was the person behind the company DSL Ironworks that produced lots of cool products for Traveller. One of the most useful and inventive things from DSL Ironworks was the Quick Decks series that could help you make pretty deckplans.
DSL Ironwork has also been a generous sponsor of the Amber Zone contests. We miss you already Donavan. 🙁

As Halloween approaches, try looking for the star Beta Persei, otherwise known as Algol in the constellation Perseus. This star's proper name comes from the Arabic for head of the ghoul, or head of the demon. Click here for a more detailed chart of Perseus and Algol. Halloween derived from ancient Celtic cross-quarter day This star is known to vary in brightness over a regular time interval. The cycle lasts 2 days, 20 hours and 49 minutes. All the while, the star remains visible to the eye. Algol's brightness variations are not due to some special quality of a single star. In fact, this is a multiple star system, where one star regularly passes in front of another as seen from our earthly perspective.
Every Halloween – and a few days before and after – the brilliant star Arcturus sets at the same time and on the same spot on the western horizon as the summer sun. What's more, this star rises at the same time and at the same place on the eastern horizon as the sun does during the dog days of summer.
However, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you can't see Arcturus right now. South of the equator, Arcturus sets at the same time and on the same place on the horizon as the winter sun. In other words, Arcturus sets before the sun and rises after the sun at southerly latitudes at this time of year.
In the Northern Hemisphere – around Halloween – this brilliant pumpkin-colored star playacts as the ghost of the summer sun. At mid-northern latitudes, Arcturus now sets about 2 hours after sunset and rises about 2 hours before sunrise. By watching this star in the October evening chill, you can envision the absent summer sun radiating its extra hours of sunlight. Not till after dark does this star set, an echo of long summer afternoons. Similarly, Arcturus rises in the east before dawn, a phantom reminder of early morning daybreaks. You can verify that you're looking at Arcturus once the Big Dipper comes out. Its handle always points to Arcturus. By the way, if you live as far north as Barrow, Alaska, the star Arcturus shines all night long, mimicking the midnight sun of summer.

Daniella Helayel became famous when the Duchess of Cambridge wore one of her dresses as she announced her engagement to Prince William. The Brazilian designer seems, however, to be more interested in dressing another Kate.
"I'd most like to see Kate Winslet wear them," she says at the launch of the Artists for Women for Women International exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Mayfair. "She looks amazing right now, or Salma Hayek, who just looks so beautiful — she glows."
Helayel had revelled in her status as the Duchess's favourite, but was reported to have been disappointed when she was not invited to the royal wedding, let alone asked to create the bridal gown.
Lament of Laura Kuenssberg
After, apparently, being television's most sought-after woman for a moment, Laura Kuenssberg may not have played her hand brilliantly after all by plumping for the job of business editor of ITV News.
The problem with the business world at the moment is that everyone knows it is in a pickle: the question is what to do about it — and that is, alas, one for the politicians.
Away from the party conferences, Kuenssberg is cutting a rather lonely figure in Berlin, but she has plenty of time for her tweets. "Beautiful, peaceful morning, a different world to the unrest on the streets in Athens," she told her followers on Twitter.
"One German man just told me the difference between him and the Greeks is he had 'geld in der tasche' – money in his pockets."
If her followers still don't get the message that she really is at the centre of action, doing an awfully important job, she added, desperately: "Lots of satellite trucks lined up outside the Reichstag Parliament – lot of build-up here for vote on Thursday."
Doubtless, Michael Crick, who quit as the political editor of Newsnight when she was sounded out about taking it over, will be all agog.
Joke's on Ed Miliband
As one of the great comic creations of our time, Ed Miliband, predictably, numbers professional comedians among his admirers.
Eddie Izzard was first out of the starting blocks when he went on BBC Breakfast to praise the Labour leader for his conference speech. Izzard, as a committed Labour man who has also allegedly offered Miliband advice about his delivery and some of his "funnier" lines, may not, however, be strictly impartial.
Other comedians wonder if Miliband really is such a class act. Jack Dee, for instance, reckons he is overdoing the gurning. "It's quite strange," Dee tells Mandrake at the launch of Lee Evans's autobiography, The Life of Lee, at the Groucho Club. "I wouldn't say his session with Izzard was necessarily all that useful to him."
I had had such high hopes for Miliband's nose operation. "Ed Nose Day" did not, alas, have any perceptible effect on his powers of oratory.
