Though you ask me to ravage you,
if I left right now I would:
(1) have to face the cold of the outdoors;
(2) have to find your apartment, which
(2a) I only know to be somewhere on Bronson, which
(2b) is a very long street.
Then I would:
(3) have to perform in bed;
(4) have to wake up tomorrow, and
(4a) regret not doing the work that I had left tonight, and
(4b) regret agreeing to meet my professor at nine.
No. Scheiße. This is simply not possible.
I don't know how to tell you this.
There is an army of dead soldiers on my desk
reminding me of nothing except how little my death will be.

Mostly a good day
I have successfully reduced my number of open tabs to 11, but I have not yet trawled my reading list for the last 3 days *sigh*.
I saw Eddie Izzard last night at the Newcastle arena and he rocked!!! The tickets were unexpected, so thanks to whichever mates of Paz' manager decided to bail. Our gain! Highlights of the evening were the jazz chicken and gazelles on elastic. I've noticed Eddie's getting rather more political these days. Significant time devoted to creationism and 'intelligent design', and several mentions of the BNP. It made for an interesting, intelligent show. It was also as funny as hell!
I currently have men drilling holes in my brickwork and stuffing the house cavities with yellow fluff. Soon we shall be fully insulated! Unfortunately, I can't go into town and meet my mate from London off the train until they're done. I'm also only half way through my to-do list for the day.
Still to do:
- Tidy bedroom
- Tidy desk (hah!)
- Food shopping for weekend guests - umm...
- Check train prices to Sheffield and London.
OK, workmen finally done! I'm off to town to meet Andy, who I haven't seen since easter.

Hi Gurus,
I'm looking to assign a Change Number to a PM-Task list. Basically this is not a big deal, but how can I organize, that future changes on this Task list require always a change Number?
In QM-Inspection Plans I can manage this in a Section in the header, but how to do that in PM-Task lists? It is not a choice to make the entry mandatory, as there are many plants working in one client and not each plant would like to have this mandatory.
Any idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

BERLIN, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Ratings agency Standard & Poor's sees no risk of a downgrade to Germany's AAA-rating for its sovereign debt this year even if a recession affects the country, its European credit analyst was quoted as saying on Wednesday.
"We believe that Germany is in strong situation and should be able to see out a possible recession this year without being downgraded," German daily Bild quoted S&P analyst Moritz Kraemer saying in its Wednesday edition.
Germany is the only major euro member to retain a top notch credit rating after S&P's downgrade of France and Austria, and a matching downgrade of the euro zone bailout fund -- or European Financial Stability Facility -- which they helped guarantee.
The German economy has managed to avoid the worst impact of the euro zone debt crisis, with steady exports and consumer demand helping it grow 3 percent last year, albeit with a retraction of about 0.25 percent in the final quarter.

Here's a GREAT 'how to' video on how to make your own Roman Shade without any sewing:
The fabric and glue for this shade can be bought at a fabric store such as Hobby Lobby or Joann. The mechanical parts such as Cord Locks, and the Cord Idlers, can be purchased at Fix My Blinds.
We highly recommend using polyester String that is made for blinds and shades, also sold at Fix My Blinds.

During active addiction, an individual tends to slip into denial. The 3 Deadly Ds in addiction are:
1. Delay
2. Detour
3. Deny
1. Delay
2. Detour
3. Deny
Self-esteem can simply be defined as how we feel about ourselves.
The first thing parents need to understand is that the uncomfortable emotions they are going through, they are not going through alone.
It is a commonly known fact- supported by years of scientific research- that the use and abuse of any illicit drug or alcohol cause drastic deterioration in the way one thinks, feels, and behaves.
It is said that, on an average, 60,000 thoughts cross our mind every single day. Underlying these thoughts are our beliefs that have been shaped by many people, factors, and life experiences.

Addicts often think that they are capable of recovery without counseling – that stopping their consumption of drugs and alcohol is enough.
Drug addiction can be devastating. If not treated, it destroys families and ultimately kills the addict. Addiction is an insidious problem – it starts in a seemingly harmless way and slowly, surely, eats away at the life of the addict.
November 2015
Early recovery from addiction involves change in attitude and beliefs about alcohol and drug abuse. Recovering addicts and alcoholics explore the meaning and consequences of chemical use and learn to cope with life without substances in their early recovery.

Pistachio and Date Bakalva
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Baklava is a dessert I grew up eating in all of it's forms. My favorite was always the creamy cashew, with pistachio coming in a close second. Having some Arabic heritage is something I've always been so proud of. I still remember my grandfather snacking on dates, nuts, and dried apricots constantly. A few years ago I made him a tray of baklava using his mother's recipe and he was thrilled. Since then, I've made this delectable treat over and over. This version with dates is exceptional. Sweet and buttery just like the traditional, with a combination of walnuts, pistachio, and chopped dates creates a creamy texture with lots of crunch. It's warm, homey, and addicting (don't say I didn't warn you) —Karlie Kashat
Serves: 30
pound phyllo dough
cups shelled pistachios, chopped and divided
cup raw walnuts, chopped
cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
teaspoon cardamom (hale)
teaspoon vanilla extract
tablespoons brown sugar, to taste
sticks of butter
cup water
cup honey
teaspoons rose water (sub vanilla if needed)
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 aluminum baking pan with a generous amount of the melted butter.
- Spread phyllo dough out on the counter, cut it in half so it will fit in baking pan. Place half of phyllo dough in baking pan. Tuck the corners and sides in if they are overextended.
- Combine 1 cup chopped pistachios, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 cup chopped dates with cardamom, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Spread mixture over the phyllo dough evenly.
- Place the other half of phyllo dough over top, again tucking in the corners under.
- Use a sharp knife to cut 7-8 equal rows lengthwise and then cut diagonally to make diamond shapes (should result in about 30 pieces depending on your size).
- Now pour the remaining melted butter evenly over the dish making sure it gets into the sides and edges.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown. Let it completely cool.
- While cooling, prepare Sheera syrup by adding water and honey to a medium sauce pan over high heat about 5 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and add rose water. Stir. Pour over cooled baklava while syrup is still hot. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup crushed pistachios.
- Let it cool completely, then slice and serve.

Our little neighbor, Allison, who we carpooled with. She's one of Emerson's best friends.
Emerson graduated from Kindergarten. Holy COW!!!! Time flies. I can't believe I will have a first grader. They did a cute little ceremony and sang some songs. They even gave them little "diplomas." It was really cute. His school also does Kindergarten graduation photos. I think Emerson's turned out SUPER cute. We had a little breakfast party at our house for everyone who wanted to come celebrate Emerson. It was so much fun. First grade here we come!!!

How to Write Books That Piss Off Your Friends
If you write a novel, your friends will assume it's about them. It doesn't matter if you call it fiction, it doesn't matter what genre it is, if you write a novel your friends will assume it's about them.
You've always lamented that you wish you had a more literary group of friends? That you knew people that read more? Well, guess what, now you have a group of friends secretly studying your book like it's the ancient Talmud and they're at a rabbinical college.
Every friend will find a character they're certain they are, countless characters they're certain other people are. But, here's the thing: most people ARE very similar. There's not that many different way to be a thirtysomething white man in New York City. Don't get me started with character names.
I went to college with a guy that was a laughably terrible screenwriter.* He wrote horrendous sci-fi space operas. But, I still admired the guy because he was an absolute genius at naming things. Futuristic space weaponry, undiscovered galaxies, alien species--he could always come up with a name that made you go: "Yeah, that sounds about right." Me? I'm shit with naming things, especially characters.
It's like, the second I introduce a new character while I'm writing, my mind goes blank and the only human names I can think of in the entire universe are those of my dozen closest friends. Now these characters have no relation to J____ or T____ or E____ aside from the name. Still, if I kept those names in the book, people would assume I'm flat out telegraphing who I'm writing about.
During early drafts, I use friends' names as placeholders but I sometimes forget to change them. During the final edit of HOW TO FAIL, I tried to eliminate as many incidental friend names as possible but I still missed a few. In fact, an ex-girlfriend I hadn't talked to in years emailed to congratulate me upon hearing about the book being released. It was only then that I realized a less than desirable character in the book had her exact name. I apologized, told her that it was a completely accidental coincidence, but I doubt she believed me. She probably read the book thinking the whole time, "Am I like that? I'm not like that! Oh, fuck him! Fuck him!"
And my other friends presumably have other characters they assume are "them." But they aren't. I swear. The human experience is just so similar that if I've written a good book, you'll see yourself in a character. Probably several. In the character's highs and lows, successes and failures, behavior and experiences. So, in a certain regard, it's a compliment. If I'm writing about a doctor, I have to draw from all the doctors I've ever dealt with in my life. And, if I'm writing about a dude that lives in New York City, I have to draw from all the dudes I've ever dealt with in New York City. Which includes most of my friends.
Do sci-fi authors have the same issues? I'd love to ask my old classmate but, despite his naming prowess, he never made it in the business. Still, I'm guessing no matter the genre one writes, the author's friends are always pissed off that they were written about. But, for the most part, they weren't.
In HOW TO FAIL, there is actually one character that is 100% based on someone. Some guy I truly hate. Still, I never wanted him to read the book, never thought he'd read the book. He did though and...loved it. Shook my hand the other day and everything, told me I should really be proud of it. I guess he didn't recognize the character that was him. And, why should he? Except for neurotics, no one likes to think of themselves as anything less than great, so, a character that is far from great--like the character based on him--surely wouldn't even appear on this man's radar as being him.
He thinks he's great. The character is not great. So, obviously, how could it be him, he thinks. Or, rather, doesn't think. It doesn't even register.
The real secret, though, is that every character I write is based on someone I know. Me. Which kinda makes me hate myself.
Do any other authors have this problem? Any funny stories to share?
*Oh great, now he's gonna wonder if I'm talking about him.
Do I Need Vampires Making Out? How to Write a Bestselling Book
Is your book selling like shit?
Probably because it's well-written. Or long. Or, you're not a celebrity. But that doesn't mean you can't make your next book a bestseller!
If you're writing non-fiction it's easy. Just pretend you hung out with God once and he's for realz, or that you have some quick weight-loss plan, or you know a way to make me a happier person (Step One: Read your book)*. Today, however, we're talking about fiction. Not real-life stuff. Like the time you hung out with God.
When someone tells me their life is "stranger than fiction," I'm not impressed. Most fiction isn't that strange. (And, most people's lives are pretty goddamn boring.) Most fiction is just generic. Which is what genre fiction is: generic fiction. You want to have a bestseller, pick a well-worn genre--horror, detective, legal thriller--and write the most bland story ever. You might think combining several genres will make the blandest book possible, but you'd be wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right but two blands do make something fairly inventive. Too inventive to sell.
Just like in the movies, sequalizations are also king. Especially, when you can add a parenthetical to the title:
BOO COCKY! (A John Glass Thriller)
By book five in your newly-created bestselling series you won't even need to write them yourself any more.
H8 CRIME (The Fifth Book of the John Glass Thrillers)
An Aaron Goldfarb book
written by Sam Stank
That's Clancy's genius. And, why he gets to spend most of his day wearing hats with patches on them while flying helicopters instead of writing.
Novels about how tough it is to be a girl are swell too. You know, with all the having to wear the right shoes and stay skinny and shop til you drop and find Mr. Right and actually be good in bed. These books especially sell well when they have a hot pink cover. On the other hand, there's never once been a best-selling book about how tough it is to be a guy. Unless you count "Decision Points." Remember, men don't read books so don't write for them.
When all else fails, have vampires making out. Young, toned, nubile vampires. They should be straight, though the men can be effete (and capable of being played by a homosexual actor in the movie adaptation) and the women can occasionally "experiment" in an erotic fashion. They should never go beyond first base though. Any way, vampires surely give terrible head and talk about vagina dentata!
You may say, by the time my book is out, vampires will already be a tired genre. Then what else? Wolfmen making out? Maybe in the 70s, but not in today's wax-centric culture. Zombies?! They don't even have brains--and making out without brains is no different than a loathsome frat mixer. Ghosts? Too non-tangible. Mermaids and mermen?!? Naw, too scaly.
Any how, it doesn't really matter if vampires are a tired genre by the time your book is done. In fact, it's even better. As I said, bland genre stories always sell, so, when all else fails:
Vampires making out.
*Conversely, I'd be a happier person if you read my book:
Why Did You Write a Book?
I was talking to a "famous, rich, important person"* the other day and he asked me a very simple question:
"Why did you write a book?"
What did he mean? I'd been interviewed a zillion times in the past few months, asked a ton of the same questions, most of them boring, a few of them interesting, but I'd never been asked the most obvious one:
Why did you write a book?
I was so flummoxed I asked him to expound:
"It's a lot of fucking work writing a book, isn't it? Why do you do it? Not for the money, right? Bigger speaking fees afterwards?" Why, Aaron?!
Sometimes we get so caught up in our art we never think why we're doing it.
I mean, the guy who writes the spec scripts for potential Nic Cage movies is surely writing them to become rich.
The dude who writes love sonnets is probably writing them to get laid.
The girl who writes in her diary every night is most likely just being therapeutic.
But, why did I write a book? Why did I write "How to Fail"? Hmmmm...
I answered back:
"Yes, it's honestly one of the hardest fucking things I've ever done. And, I'm not sure it would have ever gotten done if my reasons weren't pure. I wrote the book because of only one reason: I had something to say. Simple as that."
But "famous, rich, important person" wasn't going to let me get away with such bullshit. So he called me on that:
"If 'I had something to say' was the main reason, why not just blog? Why go to the trouble of a published paper book?"
Damn, he's good. Probably why he's famous, rich, and important.
Now I really had to delve deep, really look within myself. Why did I write the book?
I suppose "I had something to say" that needed 400 pages to say it. Honestly, if I hadn't found a publisher quickly, I wouldn't have languished for years looking for one, I'd have just released "How to Fail" on my blog, chapter by chapter or something. This is what I've been telling other friends to do who have had an unpublished manuscript sitting in a desk drawer for years. Luckily, or unluckily, I found a publisher and kinda fell for some aspects of publishing I would have never guessed I'd fall for. Covers and page design and book store signings. I'm a devout Kindle reader, but I liked having a book I could hold and look at. And, without paper books, I could have never done the 30 Bars in 30 Days book tour which I feel was integral to getting a "nobody" like me some buzz.
So, I enjoyed it, yes, but in many ways it is more trouble than it's worth. If my future publisher(s) don't make the process less trouble, then I'll gladly just release all my future books self-published on Kindle, which is easily done. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to spread my ideas, like we all are.
Or...maybe I'm just bullshitting myself and I thought the book would make me rich.
So, if you wrote a book, why'd you write it? If you're planning to write a book...WHY?

Lab 8 - Higher Motor Function
Axial Sections (continued)
View and identify the structures in the illustration.
In Fig. 1, Layer A, the most superior slice, note how the axons of the cortex are collecting to form the corona radiata. Notice the optic radiations passing through the retrolenticular segment of the internal capsule. Remember that the anterior limb of the internal capsule divides the caudate head from the lenticular nucleus (putamen + globus pallidus), and the posterior limb divides the thalamus from the lenticular nucleus. (The lenticular nucleus is sometimes called the lentiform nucleus).
Note the compact fiber density in the posterior limb. From a clinical perspective a small lesion in the posterior limb of the internal capsule can affect motor and/or sensory functions on the entire contralateral body and face. The arterial supply to this part of the internal capsule is the lateral striate (also called lenticulostriate) branch of the middle cerebral artery.
Trace the course of the corticofugal axons as they travel through the internal capsule to emerge at the diencephalic/mesencephalic junction as the crus cerebri.
In Fig. 1, Layer C locate the substantia nigra, the largest nuclear mass in the midbrain. It contains pigmented neurons (melanin) that give it its characteristic color in unstained sections such as the one seen here. This area is invariably the site of pathological changes associated with Parkinson's disease.

Where to start, oh I know BBC Three's fantastic documentaries such as Binge drinking: My big decision about a girl deciding whether to give up her binge drinking life style. Well if she had to give that much thought into the decision that it was worthy of becoming an hour long program she frankly deserves all she gets. Another instalment in this series – Boob job: My big decision just makes you feel lucky you don't have to make such decisions and politicians who have to run this country must be feeling relieved that its teenage girls not them that are answering these 'massive' questions. The young, dumb and living off mum program makes me embarrassed to be Human – not because it features the world's most useless teenagers who would shame even Helen Keller, my grievance is with the program's makers who felt this was such a significant issue it had to be made into a series. Jesus, whatever happened to parental authority – if the brats won't give up the easy ride their parents should kick their arses and make them join the army; not put them on a TV show so we can see what useless dicks they are.
Meanwhile on ITV after half a dozen documentary series chronicling Peter and Katie's marriage we now have Peter: Going it alone,shows us how low TV has gone as ITV have actually made a program following a man who has been dumped. Wow, join the club – seriously what's next? Peter: Takes a bath or Peter: Misses the bus to work. For a man who claims to have the moral highground, as he isn't apparently exploiting the situation for publicity, he shamlessly plugs his new album.
Big Brother, the show that gets a handful of bizarre people who belong in a Dr Seuss novel, puts them in a house together for a few months and lets us watch the outcome. However instead of murdering each other or writing poems for cacti we simply watch them eat, sleep and piss while forgetting to fulfil these functions ourselves. Don't forget on E4 from ..midnight.. there is live coverage in extra saddovision, in which we can watch people sleep for 6 -7 hours like a creepy uncle. Britain's got Talent – an actually show not a punchline, gets the nation's trainee serial killers, mental patients and freaks who have been rejected by circus freaks; so they can show the country their talent or lack off because these shows peddle the idea that only the 'normal' are talented evident by the fact everyone was surprised that Susan Boyle could sing on the account she looks like Rocky Dennis' ugly brother. It's the same with X factor, they parade the freaks for the audition rounds much like the Elizabethans did with mental patients but hiding them away in later rounds so we can gaze in awe at the 'beautiful people' – this is my childhood all over again. It's all rich when it's hosted by Simon Cowell, a man who makes Metallica's Lars Ulrich look modest. Cowell is the biggest freak of them all – not only does he make a career from exploiting people's hopes and dreams but he seems to be playing reverse limbo with his waistline.
The soaps claim to represent British life, evident from storylines such as in Coronation Street were a woman is sleeping with her husband's murderer or Eastenders with a tragedy happening every day, and I swear Hollyoakes has its own Rosemary's baby style storyline going on. Holby city a hospital so far removed from reality that I wouldn't be surprised if the bubonic plague resurfaced or if a patient was actually seen on their appointment time. How about The Bill, a police drama set in a fictional part of London that makes Afghanistan look like a petting zoo. Neighbours has got to be my favourite though as in the fictional paradise of Ramsey Street you could have AIDS one day and three episodes later be cured.
I like watching the news despite it making daily forecasts of doom and gloom like Nostradamus on steroids. It comes in three settings Channel 4 and BBC news are for the average man, Channel 5 is for people in comas, and ITV news is for those that see football as cultured. I see the news as part of the degeneration of television because it's become more sensationalised intent on scaring us as if it seeks to avenge a loved one struck down by us. If you believe the news we are going to be killed by either Swine flu or Muslim extremists with the survivors being finished off by Global warming or the economy, anyone left will have to face a T-900 in battle. The news always like to end with a Human interest story which I assume is so we don't kill ourselves after hearing about all the muggings and bent MPs or to cater to the Forest Gump section of the audience, whichever its as pointless and annoying as Jamie Oliver. Documentaries like dispatches or Panorama adopt the news' apocalyptic style but send the optimistic ending tones packing, while those on Channel 5 are the Human interest side done in such a way that it's covertly taking the piss out of its subject matter.
Much like a drunken step father sport tries forcing itself upon you; 'our sport' changes often depending on what we are currently doing well in. But the worst of all is the omnipotent football – a pointless and tedious sport and the cause of more football hooliganism then Danny Dyer can shake a stick at while speaking like a twat. I have a very basic understanding of the game which is along the lines of; mega rich tycoons with nothing better to do buy other men so they can kick a ball around for 90 minutes and keep it away from men in different uniforms owned by a rival tycoon – its essentially warfare for idiots. If you're not a football fan then living in Britain is like living in a totalitarian regime run by the unquestionable football, with the other citizens blindly worshipping the great leader. Even not knowing the offside rule is a punishable offence comparable to not greeting the Fuhrer with the Fascist salute. But television executives are unsympathetic to my plight as every time I see an interesting drama or movie advertised on ITV it gets replace by an England (the highest authority) match and I'm told to piss off to the Women's Institute because for not displaying even an iota of interest towards the beautiful game I'm obviously a woman.
Cookery programs continue to stagnate despite being replaced by books – which are easier to follow and don't swear at you either, and gardening shows are pointless because they always appeal to people who have 100 Sq acres of garden. Fashion programs are probably the most hypocritical shows imaginable as they are often hosted by either androgynous individuals such as Gok Wan who frankly looks like he was raped by his wardrobe or transvestites such as Trinny and Susanna. Just like knighthoods chat shows are so easy to obtain these days that they practically come free with the Mail on Sunday, the only qualification needed is that your name is known by at least 5 people, and it doesn't seem to matter if you have the communicational skills of H.P Lovecraft's Castle Freak. Moving into the ghetto side of television I would like to introduce you to my arch nemesis – Sketch shows. For the most part they are uninspired and very lowbrow, often sticking to the formula they created in episode one for the entire series, milking dry jokes that were only mildly amusing the first time like an obsessive compulsive masturbator. But the biggest offender is the Horne and Corden show – the duo weren't content with making a shit sitcom and shit movie (Gavin and Stacy, Lesbian vampire killers – respectively) they had to make a shit sketch show as well, full marks for consistency. Take every bad element of the genre, magnify it then remove any vaguely funny aspects and you have Horne and Corden's latest brain child, a show which is running on their inflated egos as a result of being from a nation of retards that found their previous work enjoyable.
Children's TV consists of rubbish cartoons with humour that you would have to be a foetus to enjoy, pale in comparison to those of the 80's and 90's, as well as shows were odd looking creatures do strange dances and attempt to sing but enough about the Hannah Montana show. This is not even mentioning all the recession specials of already depressing property shows such as Location, Location, Location – as pronounced by Gareth Gates. Game shows – the lazy man's version of a hard day's work, which range from answering 15 questions correctly to opening boxes. Before I finish I would like to point out how the channel Virgin1 is appropriately named considering the majority of its shows would appeal to your average 40 year old frustrated virgin; X-files, Chuck. Star Trek: The next generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager and Enterprise, The outer limits, Sexcetera, Ninja warrior and the new adventures of Superman.
You may be wondering just what I actually like, well for starters The Wire is an absolutely amazing show which is constantly well written and accurately portrays life as a depressing unfair joke that's full of arseholes. I also like Dexter which chronicles the serial killer its ok to like (according to one reviewer), well what about Jack the Ripper. Lost is extremely enjoyable as long as you don't realise that it is a more sophisticated and drawn out version of the how do you keep an idiot in suspense joke. If you want a painfully hilarious and realistically portrayal of how inept and pathetic British males are look no further than Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. Now after being positive for the first time in the gulag that is my mind I need a long cold shower, before returning to my Metro station review...
