Glenmorangie Ealanta has today been named as the best dram on the planet by Jim Murray, one of the world's leading whisky experts.
In his 2014 Whisky Bible Murray paid tribute to the quality of the limited edition single malt Scotch by describing it as having "one of the longest finishes of any Scotch this year…and borderline perfection." It scored 97.5 out of 100 points.
This year 4,500 whiskies were tasted, evaluated and rated by Murray but he was blown away by Ealanta's innovative aroma and taste profile. Jim Murray's Whisky Bible is published annually and is regarded as a benchmark for the sector.
Glenmorangie Ealanta was released at the start of this year as the fourth annual release in the company's award-winning Private Edition range.
Scots Gaelic for 'skilled and ingenious', Ealanta is a 19 Years Old Glenmorangie, fully matured in virgin American white oak casks with a provenance that stretches all the way to the mountains of Missouri and the Mark Twain National Forest.
Dr Bill Lumsden, The Glenmorangie Company's Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, said: "This is a wonderful award for us and testament to the ongoing success of our Private Edition range. Jim Murray has been a leading judge of whisky for three decades so this is a major coup for us.
"It's no secret in our industry that it's the 'wood that makes the whisky' and for many years my team and I have been carrying out detailed research in this area."
Jim Murray, whose Whisky Bible celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, said: "Glenmorangie Ealanta pipped others to the post because it went out and did something different; not only did it blow one away with its deftness, beauty and elegance, but it gave an aroma and taste profile completely new to me in over 30 years of tasting whisky."
Glenmorangie Ealanta retails at £74.99 and is available at specialist retailers including The Whisky Exchange, Master Of Malt, The Whisky Shop and Royal Mile Whiskies (Edinburgh).

Three days after she joined in a birthday celebration for her boyfriend's 11-year-old son, Kathryn E. McLane allegedly paid an undercover police officer $2,500 to murder the child's mother, according to court records.
"I had to sit here and look at her, and I knew the whole time that she wanted to kill me," said Dorinda Hughes, 42, who police say was the intended victim of the plot. "I offered her a drink. I told her we had cake, pizza. I had to act completely normal."
Ms. McLane, 30, was arrested by Anne Arundel police Thursday night at her home in the 8300 block of Baltimore-Annapolis Blvd. in Pasadena.

Life as a new author …
Writing. Editing. Writing. Editing. It doesn't really end now, does it!
I feel like screaming right now. Out of happiness, mind you. I have to admit, this blogging thing is a bit new to me. But, I'm trying it out. I do wonder how many people will actually read this, though. LOL
Yes, I will probably be writing LOL's and smiley faces 🙂 in my blogs. I'll try to tone it down a bit, but it's a blog. Aren't you supposed to write what comes to you in that moment? I don't believe my blog will be crazy serious: I'll comment about my books; any movies I decide to see on cheap-day Tuesdays; books I fall in love with, etc. You'll definitely be feeling my mood with how I write. What can I say? I show my emotions in my words. 🙂
I'm happy that Dahlia is finally published with another story on the way. Despite it being a brand new book by an unknown author, I'm selling! That, in itself, makes me happy. If I can get one reader to buy my book, read it, and think to themselves, "I really liked that," then I think I've done my job.
Now with my second book, which will soon be released, I want my readers to be, "Holy s**t! I can't wait for more! This just keeps on getting better and better!" That's my goal.
Yes, I'm currently editing a novella, which connects to the Blood Crave Series. While Dahlia is book #1, I'd call this book, #1.5. Originally a part of #2, I thought it'd fit better as a standalone. Let me tell you, I enjoyed writing this. It wasn't even a part of my series, but one day it just came to mind and I began writing. And writing. AND writing.
Now, I wrote this so long ago and thought it was PERFECT. I printed it out; made a few corrections; re-read it again; made MORE corrections; made a teacher friend of mine be by 'beta-reader' (I like that word); and made even MORE changes myself.
It doesn't really end, does it?
Oh, well. I'm just going to have to breathe and let it go. Ignore my OCD-like tendencies and present it to the world.
It's okay, Christina.
So … when will it be out?
I don't know. Perhaps by the end of next week, if my formatting works out. The life of an indie author, eh? Here's a sneak peek of the cover image below:
Who is this girl? That's probably what you're asking, right? This isn't Dahlia. Well, you're going to have to wait and see. Although, if you've read Dahlia, you might have an inkling on who this might be.
Two girls. Similar backgrounds, similar experiences but TOTALLY different people. And they both manage to be pulled into a world of supernatural beings.
Ah, life.
Among other things …
Latest movie I saw was Mama. Let me tell you, the scariest thing about that movie was the woman standing a few rows down in the corner. She stood ever so still during the ENTIRE length of the movie. Perhaps she had back problems or restless leg syndrome. But it was freaky, especially being a scary movie. My friend and I kept thinking she'd turn into Mama. LOL
I'm going to tackle reading A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I can safely say that I've never read an 800 plus book, so this is definitely going to be an adventure for me!
By the way, cannot wait to watch the next scary movie!
Until next time,

Justin Bieber found himself in more legal hot water on Saturday night (29Aug15) after he was reportedly clocked speeding through Beverly Hills in a new Ferrari.
A day before his MTV Video Music Awards performance, the pop star was in town showing off his latest car when a fleet of police officers pulled him over.
TMZ.com reports Bieber was cited and allowed to drive off after promising the cops he'd slow it down on the roads.
The singer was previously reprimanded for allegedly driving sports cars around his former Calabasas, California community at top speeds, and he was arrested in Miami, Florida at the beginning of 2014 and charged with drag racing and driving under the influence.
The settled that legal drama several months later after agreeing to pay $50,000 (GBP31,250) to a youth charity and pleading guilty to careless driving and resisting arrest charges.
Prosecutors dropped the drunk driving charge as part of the plea agreement, which also required Bieber to seek anger management counseling and attend a drink-driving program.

The Top 5 Tools to
Move Content Server Data
In this article we take a look at the many ways users and administrators can move data (documents, metadata, hierarchical structures) into, out of and within Content Server. The most popular tools that Syntergy provides are for large loads of documents and metadata, exporting content while maintaining the hierarchical structure, replicating data between sites and easily adding documents and metadata from the desktop. These tools are fast, cost effective and reliable. To get the most value from Content Server it is important for organizations to understand their data moving needs and how these tools can be used to meet them.
Here are our top five tools to move Content Server data:
- The Bulk Loader:
The Bulk Loader is one of the first modules ever developed for Content Server (Back then it was called Livelink.) In use for over 15 years, it is number one on our list because it loads information quickly, accurately and inexpensively.
Bulk Loader loads documents, URLs, attributes and meta data along with users from all types of applications, storage areas and legacy systems. It loads items such as scanned images, database reports, legacy data and bulk conversions from file servers. Text files can be used to specify Content Server category attributes or basic document system attributes such as owner, creator, location, and version information. This flexible feature set makes it easy to meet your organization's unique needs. It can be used to loads Users and Groups as well.
- Director:
Syntergy Director for End Users was designed and developed from the ground up to ease the burden of managing content and metadata. Director is a desktop application that allows users to connect to one or more Content Server instances to perform operations such as export, import, copy and move of documents between Local or Network file systems and Content Server.
- Replicator:
Syntergy's Replicator provides a full multi-directional replication capability. Content Server objects are replicated to one or more participating systems. Any modifications to any of those replicas will be reflected back to every other replica as well as the original object. All sites in production are updated automatically using a proprietary technology that enables transmission of data over low bandwidth networks. Replicator reflects the way people work, the way organizations function, and the way they allocate infrastructure resources in the most intelligent and cost effective manner. Groups within organizations have different needs for content and Replicator provides greater performance by storing documents locally for those who need them.
- Bulk Exporter:
The Bulk Exporter provides the capability to extract Content Server content and metadata to hierarchical or flat directory structures. Metadata that can be extracted for modification includes:
- Standard Metadata, e.g. owner, document name, description, etc.
- Permissions
- Category and Attributes
- Classifications
- Records Management
- Content Mover:
Content Mover provides cross platform migration of content allowing selected folders to move from one Content Server instance to other Content Server instances. Moving documents and the important information associated with the document is complex and can be problematic. Content Mover assists with gathering the required associated data to be moved. Content Mover can be used to restore lost data to production. After restoring your production data to a development server use the Content Mover to restore documents and other objects along with their metadata.

The Execution of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland and Earl of Warwick
Posted By claire on August 22, 2010
On this day in history, the 22nd August 1553, John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland and Earl of Warwick, was executed after being found guilty of treason for his part in the plot which had seen Edward VI appoint Lady Jane Grey as his heir and deny his half sister Mary's right to the succession. The plot backfired when Mary rallied support, Jane's forces mutinied and key member of Jane's council swapped sides. On the 19th July, just 13 days after Edward VI's death, Mary I was proclaimed queen and Lady Jane Grey's short reign was brought to an end. The "usurper" and those who had supported her were imprisoned in the Tower to await trial for high treason.
On the 18th August 1553, John Dudley was found guilty of treason and condemned to death. His execution was due to take place on the 21st August on Tower Hill but the waiting crowd were to be disappointed. Instead of being led to the scaffold, Dudley was escorted to the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula where he, the man who had done so much to further the cause of Protestantism during the reign of Edward VI, recanted his Protestant beliefs and converted to Catholicism. At mass, Dudley addressed the congregation, saying:-
"My masters, I let you all to understand that I do most faithfully believe this is the very right and true way, out of which true religion you and I have been seduced these sixteen years passed, by the false and erroneous preaching of the new preachers."1
Dudley was to be sadly disappointed if he thought that this speech and his return to the Catholic fold would save him. He even wrote a desperate letter to the Earl of Arundel, begging him to intercede with the Queen on his behalf, but Mary did not spare him. At 9am on the morning of the 22nd August, Dudley was taken to mass and then back to his lodging to await the hour of his execution. He was then escorted to the scaffold where he addressed the huge crowd which had gathered, confessing his guilt and begging forgiveness but adding:-
"And yet this act wherefore I die, was not altogether of me (as it is thought) but I was procured and induced thereunto by other[s]. I was I say induced thereunto by other[s], howbeit, God forbid that I should name any man unto you, I will name no man unto you, and therefore I beseech you look not for it. … And one thing more good people I have to say unto you … and that is to warn you and exhort you to beware of these seditious preachers, and teachers of new doctrine, which pretend to preach God's word, but in very deed they preach their own fancies, … they know not today what they would have tomorrow, … they open the book, but they cannot shut it again. … I could good people rehearse much more … but you know I have another thing to do, whereunto I must prepare me, for the time draweth away."2
Linda Porter writes of how an eye witness report suggests that Dudley "held out hope of reprieve right till the last moments"3:-
"And as the bandage [blindfolding his eyes] was not well fitted when he was about to stretch himself upon the beam, he rose again upon his knees, and surely figured to himself the terrible dreadfulness of death. At the moment when he stretched himself out, as one who constrained himself and willed to consent patiently, without saying anything, in the act of laying himself out… he smote his hands together, as one who should say, this must be…"4
John Dudley's life was taken by one blow of the axeman's axe.
"So passed from this world one of the most enigmatic men of Tudor England. A competent rather than brilliant soldier but a politician of great skill and resolution, he was undone by one supreme error of judgement."5
Guildford Dudley, the son he had married off to LadyJane Grey, followed him to the scaffold on the 12th February 1554, but the rest of his family were spared the axe. His son Ambrose became Elizabeth I's Master of the Ordnance in 1558, was created Earl of Warwick in 1561 and from served as a privy councillor. Dudley's younger son, Robert, Earl of Leicester, was Elizabeth I's favourite and her "sweet Robin" and her "Eyes". He held many offices during Elizabeth's reign but died in September 1588, shortly after England's victory over the Spanish Armada. John Dudley would have been happy that neither of his sons suffered for their support of his activities in 1553 but, instead, went on to become key figures in Elizabeth I's government.

I don't know why but I like John Dudley. In The Uncrowned Kings of England by Derek Wilson, John Dudley really was trying to do as Edward Vi asked in ursurping Mary's crown and giving it to Lady Jane Grey. That particular book revisits the Dudley men and makes a good case that they were all loyal and true servants of their king/queen. Any man who can create a strong family and such virtuous men as Robert must have had osmething going for him. Anyway, I do like him!
I wonder, if Mary had spared him, if he would have gone on and served in Elizabeth I's government, or if Elizabeth might have had to have him imprisoned, because he was a tricky fellow.
Was he any relation to the minister named Dudley, whom Henry VIII executed at the beginning of his reign?
Yes, his father was Edmund Dudley, a man who had been prominent during Henry VII's reign and one of the men Henry VIII wanted rid of when he came to the throne. This is what Edmund Dudley's wikipedia page says:-
"When Henry VII died in April 1509, Dudley was imprisoned and charged with the crime of constructive treason. Dudley's nominal crime was that during the last illness of Henry VII he had ordered his friends to assemble in arms in case the king died, but the real reason for his charge was doubtless his unpopularity stemming from his position in the Council Learned. He was attainted and after having made a futile attempt to escape from prison, Dudley was executed on the 17th or 18th of August 1510."
Robert Dudley had a bit of a bad reputation because his brother, father and grandfather had all been executed as traitors to the crown.
I also like John Dudley. I feel that he has often been blamed most unfairly for the events that followed Edward's death. He was carrying out the wishes of the monach, which I think he believed was the correct course of action. I too have read Derek Wilson's book Uncrowned Kings of England. He makes a very good case for the loyalty and support of this remarkable family to The Tudor Dynasty.
I would argue the point Ms. Barnhill makes of the Dudley having been true to their rulers. Is that why they were branded as traitors? Generationally? My impression of John Dudley is that of a not-too-bright Machiavellian manipulator, who used his son and the Lady Jane Grey to usurp Mary's throne, thereby gaining power and riches for himself, justifying his actions with religious platitudes. Besides the fact that the men in his family had a strange way of ending up beheaded as traitors, Dudley was well aware that forcing Lady Jane to accept the crown would doom her as well as his own son, Guildford if things went south. It's horrifying to think of how selfish parents were…how willing they were to give up their children to further their own ends. Obviously, marriage was a political game for anyone close to the court, as it had been for hundreds of years. However, John Dudley threw his son to the lions, and plotted with Lady Jane's parents to throw her in as well. This went beyond political machinations. Parents gambled on gaining control of the throne with their children as the poker chips! Not only could the marriage end up being a 40 yr distasteful arrangement for Jane and Guildford, but if the fathers' plan came apart, oh, well, too bad…the child you have raised for the last 17 years will walk up the scaffold to be beheaded. Oops. Further, after Mary claimed her throne and the newlyweds were in The Tower, the fathers fomented unrest and rebellion with the aim of getting Jane back on the throne. Helloooo? I'm not sure how "brilliant" John Dudley really was. Even the simplest of people would know when to leave well enough alone. Mary was willing to forgive Jane…but the parents of Jane and Guildford ensured Mary would have to deal with rebellion as long as these young people were alive. Good job, there, John.
II would disagree with Michelle Mader, although, of course, respect her point of view.
The fact that members of the family were branded traitors does not, in my opinion mean that they were in fact traitors. A lot of trials were just show trials quite often at that time of day. In other words the verdict had already been decided upon in advance.
John Dudley was in fact a man of considerable ability. He was a first class Lord Admiral and King Henry had thought highly of him. Eric Ives has said of him in his book Lady Jane A Tudor Mystery and I quote "If it had not been for the final debacle, his name would now be remembered alongside Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell and William Cecil". He also goes on to say that "Northumberland was many things, but traitor he was not".
He also states that the trial reeked of hypocrisy for almost all of the jury had sworn allegience to Jane Grey, so in which case they were just as guilty as John Dudley.
I am sorry but "John" was dead for half a year when Jane's father supported Wyatt's rebellion (which was not in support of Jane, as Mary's government claimed in order to send Jane and Guildford to the scaffold). Suffolk was not even charged with treason in August 1553, as weren't so many others: The Earl of Huntington (who was in the field with Northumberland); William Cecil (most trusted secretary of Northumberland), Sir Henry Sidney (son-in-law and intimus of both John Dudley and King Edward), and so on. William Parr, Marquess of Northampton and brother to Catherine Parr was at least convicted but could walk free after two months in jail, though he was one of the closest "conspirators". In contrast all five sons of John Dudley plus one brother (who was on a diplomatic mission abroad when Edward died) were condemned to death. The youngest son was killed as we know. The eldest son died from the effects of prison as historians keep telling us (though without specific evidence); the second youngest was killed by a cannonshot when fighting for Philip of Spain, paying back the sons' due for their release from the Tower in late 1554. All this is customarily called mercy; selective mercy is the same as injustice, however. It's certainly not justice.
As regards the "plot" to deprive Edward's half-sisters of the Crown, most specialists of the period (including all biographers of Edward since 1970) agree that it this was Edward's very own initative. So Edward was presumably the only King of England to engage in plots. Even Henry VI of England ruled personally from before he was sixteen, why should a Tudor king be unable to do so: because his successor would not even allow him a personal belief of his own; surely he would have turned a Catholic exactly on his eighteenth birthday (this is how David Loades very convincingly describes Mary's view to her brother) .
A very important fact is that copies of Edward's handwritten "devise" came to the attention of historians only in the 18th century and, not fitting into the preconceived picture, were sometimes suspected to be forgeries. As late as 1950 Prof. Bindoff tried to argue that this was so. This was so embarrassing that it is never mentioned these days.
Thank you Claire for the Guaras quotation. However, what in it is indicative of Dudley waiting for a last minute reprieve I cannot see from the quote. This is another typical example of how biographers create bias.
I think that the Guaras quotation was suggesting that Dudley got up again, expecting that his execution would be halted. We know that he wrote to the Earl of Arundel asking him to intercede with the Queen on his behalf and the Queen did not answer so I think he would have been hoping until the last that Mary would be merciful and pardon him, particularly as he had recanted his Protestant beliefs and returned to the Catholic Church.
I agree with you about Edward. He may well have been influenced by those around him but he was responsible for his "devise". His devise was just as legal as Henry VIII's will which returned his daughters to the succession.
I also, like Christine, have to disagree with Michelle on the point "Further, after Mary claimed her throne and the newlyweds were in The Tower, the fathers fomented unrest and rebellion with the aim of getting Jane back on the throne." John Dudley was executed just a month after Mary had seized the throne and Wyatt's Rebellion did not take place until the beginning of 1554. Henry Grey, Jane's father, was involved, but John Dudley was dead. The uprising aimed at putting Elizabeth on the throne and did not involve Lady Jane Grey.
Yes, I agree, it was a show trial. Leanda de Lisle writes of how Dudley observed at his trial that several of the judges present had also signed the oath backing Edward VI's will and that "he had done nothing without their authority and by warrant of Queen Jane under the Great Seal." Those judging him shared his guilt.
I don't think that Dudley had any idea that Jane and Guildford would be doomed. Edward VI had named Lady Jane Grey as his lawful successor and she had the support of the Privy Council. How was he to know that the Catholic Mary would be successful in rallying support and seizing the throne? He did not purposely throw them to the lions. Also, as far as using your children as poker chips, that was what Tudor children were for. They were political pawns and arranged marriages for wealth and status were the norm.
Far from throwing his children to the lions, Northumberland specifically pleaded after he was condemned to death that Mary be merciful to his children: he asked "that her majestie wilbe gratyous to my chilllder, which may hereafter do hir grace gode service, concydering that they went by my commaundment who am their father, and not of thier owne free willes." (Chronicle of Queen Jane, edited by John Gough Nichols, p. 17). I suspect that one of the reasons for his last-minute religious conversion was that he hoped it would soften Mary toward his children.
Northumberland's widow, Jane, outlived her husband by just about 18 months, but she devoted those months to trying to get her sons freed from prison.
i think Edward and his advisors were out of sync with the rest of the country and made too many changes to religion far too quickly. Edward was only around for six years so the memory of Henry probably overshadowed the country and I think most people were still thinking of religious practices as how Henry left them. I thought Cramner would have had more common sense and would have realized that just because he and the King were ready to make more religious changes, the rest of the country probably needed extra time. When Edward died, people were expecting Henry's will to be put in place because Henry's memory and rule overshadowed that of his son's. Mary had both Catholic and Protestant supporters probably because people were not expecting Henry's will to be replaced and Edward did not have the time to be seen as the real king. I don't think any of Edward's advisors wanted to face reality and deal with how people perceived the changes made and how they felt about it. I can't really sympathize with Dudley and even Cramner. They played a political game and lost. Some of Jane's supporters got lucky and lived while some didn't, like Dudley. Sounds like typical Tudor politics.
Dudley was trying to gain power for himself when he married his son to Jane Grey. He tried to convince her to make his son, Guildford, the king, but she refused. He had not expected her to refuse. She had not even wanted to be queen.
His ultimate goal in life was to get more power. Even before his execution, he claimed that the had converted to Catholicism (undoubtedly, he was expecting to be pardoned by Queen Mary). He tried to undermine the Duke of Somerset, Lord Protector Edward Seymour, to become Lord Protector himself. (I can't say that Seymour was much better off… he made himself Lord Protector.)
I have realized that in this story, there is no "good guy" or "bad guy." Everyone was simply living for himself. Queen Mary did wrong in killing Dudley, for sure, but Dudley had done wrong himself.
I have so enjoyed reading everyones intellegent thoughts on this subject. I too have mine but they are not so lofty and informed. I agree that all the children were pawns. Queen Mary was a religious extremist as was her mother. It was the way many women and men were raised back then. She, like many religious fanatics even today feel they must save us from ourselves and banish the none believers. She certainly earned her title of Bloody Mary, as do the terrorist extremists of today.
It was good that Elizebeth became queen. She changed the dynamics of the times where men held all the power and woman were mere pawns. I also see how the events with Tom Seymour taught her an early and very strong lesson. She understood that she, in her position, could not give her power to a man or all would be lost. Sad though that she never could enjoy that kind of relationship for fear of being used. I do not envy any woman of those times.
The Dudley men, the Seymour men, and others, were power hungry. Even though many wish to defend them, it seems they were doing much to further their own cause. Poor Edward. I have no evidence to enforce my opinion that Edward was done in. It just feels that way to me. How badly his father wanted a son, yet when he had one he didn't take the time to make him powerful by being involved in his upbringing. It may have made all the difference…. ah, but what of history?
And as a final comment, I find it so interesting as to how lewid the times were. The more I read the more it creeps me out how unsafe were the times for all concerned from the lowest peasant to royalty.

Here is an excerpt from an email I sent to another friend recently:
Is it bad to admit that is part of what I hope to do here? T. asked me what I hoped to get out of this time. I thought about it for a bit and realized that is it. I am over the moon to be in Rwanda and to be with our sister church and to experience life with them, and to work on the education project. But more than that I am looking forward to quiet, to dealing with my past and to coming to terms with who I am vs. who I want to be.
Talking to A. she said that we project who we want to be to others – and that if we believe something about ourselves, more fully based on an awareness of who He made us to be, that is who we will tell others we are.
I don't like who I am. I don't find value in this person. Subconsciously I show that to others by not caring about my appearance (which I always hide behind not wanting to bolster superficiality, or just attribute to laziness) and being quiet (something I equate with feeling safe). But there is more to it than that.
T. said everyone feels insignificant – but picked up on one thing I said in the course of our conversation: If I weren't sitting here would anything be different? I live with the conclusion of no, it wouldn't be. And that is the basis of how I see my worth. So try as I might be funny or outgoing or open and loving – if I always start from the basis of I am less than or not worth it – well, you can see where the problems start.
I want to find my worth in God. I do. I want to be redeemed because He made me and in that, called me by name, and holds me as His beloved. See I can say all of it and I know it's true, I just can't get it to sink in.
Please be praying for me in this. It's going to be really hard. I think I have lived with the demon of insignificance and ugliness for so long that I don't know how to conquer it. I can call my pain up by name, I can say look at the ranch where I was told to be silent, that I didn't matter, that it was never about me, to just serve others, or school where pain occurred, or college where I was so angry and hurt and alone and, even now, missed chances at relationship or joy because I am scared and living with the chains of I have no worth. I am ugly. I am not worth the attention.
But I know God wants to free me from this – and I want to be freed. I don't want to live like this – I don't want to see myself this way. I don't want to be so easily intimidated by someone else, by groups, by conversation that my mind literally goes blank and all I can think about is how I don't fit. ...
My friend gave me a phrase: God put me here. God put me here in Rwanda for a purpose. And this is the desert, and I am waiting for Him. Am I Hagar waiting for a promise? Dying to find my worth, told I have none, I am just a servant? Crying, hearing the one thing He gave me cry and die beneath the bushes? At bit over dramatic maybe, but metaphorically it's how I feel. I am Hagar, I am Gomer. That is how I see myself...
A Hillsong song plays in my head:
"This is my prayer in the desert when all else within me feels dry. This is my prayer of the hunger in my, my God is the God who provides. This is my prayer in the fire, in weakness and trial and pain. There is a faith proved of more worth than gold. So refine me Lord through the flames. I will bring praise, I will bring praise. No weapon forged against me shall remain. I will rejoice, I will declare: God is my victory and He is here.
"This is my prayer in the battle, when triumph is still on its way. I am a conquer and coheir with Christ. So firm on His promise I stand. I will bring praise, I will bring praise. No weapon forged against me shall remain. I will rejoice, I will declare" God is my victory and He is here. All of my, in every season, you are still God, I have a reason to sing. I have a reason to worship.
"This is my prayer in the harvest, when favor and providence flow. I know I'm filled to be emptied again. The seed I've received I will sow."

|Phase 1
After the 3 yo and I picked up the 5 yo from school on Wednesday we stopped by Staples to get a color print cartridge, large wall calendar and gloves (I can only glue my fingers together so many times!). I looked through the weekly advertisement and saw a desk for half off. From $120 to $60. An L shape! KISMET!
I bought the desk and called my husband to tell him about the deal. He and our friend, Adam, who helped with the transformation on Sunday picked up the desk that evening.
Also speaking of kismet, the night I bought the desk I flipped through a Whole Living (from February 2011...I don't get to read much) and found a diagram of how to Feng Shui your desk.
Yesterday afternoon I put the desk together and we both love the way our new workspace is coming together. The L shape is perfect because we have a table designated to the admin aspect and then the crafting part of MagnifiCuffs has it's own table too!
Our sons have shared a room since Sunday and we have high hopes after a couple hiccups the first few nights before the reno was completed.
Having mom in the office next door last night definitely helped thwart the giggley chats while tossing stuffies between the two of them from their beds.
Below is how the space looks so far!
2014 is off to a wonderful (and organized) start!
Warmest wishes,

Spoiler Alert…designing and successfully implementing crowdsourced business processes is not easy! Reorganizing the way your business approaches long-standing tenants of workplace structure and management is a complex undertaking. That's not to say it's impossible, but it takes a disciplined approach and expertise in numerous areas to make crowdsourcing a reliable part of your workflow.
The allure of a seamlessly integrated virtual workforce that redefines traditional staffing approaches to deliver massive efficiencies over traditional solutions is certainly something that will pique any executive's interest. Many businesses have tried crowdsourcing tasks on their own, and many have been disappointed and frustrated by the challenges that stand between theory and practice. At Lionbridge, we've spent more than 10 years navigating these complexities, and wanted to share some insights that any business should know when considering crowdsourcing solutions.
Choose a Partner that Delivers What You Need
When you elect to tap crowdsourcing solutions to streamline complex business processes, it's imperative that your chosen partner is able to deliver the full breadth of the service required. The first step in identifying that partner is to determine whether you need a managed solution, which is necessary for more complex projects like data acquisition/enrichment, testing, etc., as opposed to an unmanaged crowd where vendors are simply using a tech platform to aggregate the crowd members for you. The latter option might fit well if you are just looking for survey responses or user feedback, but will leave you still holding the reigns of the entire program management process. The true benefit of crowdsourcing to enterprise-level businesses comes from leveraging the solution as a legitimate (in fact, more efficient and potentially higher-quality) alternative to traditional outsourcing, which requires a partner that delivers high-quality, prescreened workers with the prerequisite skill sets to deliver on program results.
Paying Crowd Workers is Important
Crowd workers are doing real work, and should be compensated with real currency, not online credits and gift certificates. The challenges of managing payrolls for 100,000 plus global crowd workers while monitoring the tasks they've completed is a mere logistical hurdle, compared to paying those workers in their local currency. Your crowd partner should be able to handle these challenges and do so while maximizing financial efficiencies. We've deployed a global SAP platform that helps us consistently manage operations. Additionally, we save on bank fees by establishing weekly payment processes, and we leverage a concurrent multi-currency bank to allow us to pay in local currencies.
A Qualified Crowd Equals Higher Quality
As mentioned earlier, for a business to truly trust the work being done within the crowd, they must have a high level of trust in the members of the virtual workforce as they would in their own full-timers. Pre-qualifying these highly skilled members of our global crowd represents a huge staffing challenge. With more than 100,000 pre-qualified members in our crowd, we can pretty easily identify teams with the specific skills a client requires for a project; but no crowd provider can have every skill set at their fingertips. Whenever we have unique client demands, we often augment our regular proactive recruitment activities with highly specific, localized searches for new crowd workers to meet those skills demands.
Managing Projects in the Crowd is Crucial
Much of the frustration experienced by businesses attempting to leverage crowdsourcing comes as a result of that first foray into working with an unmanaged crowd. Let's face it, staff needs leadership and when your team is scattered across the globe, leaders need tools tailored to these unique geographic challenges. From day one, we've tackled this challenge head on by combining our own proprietary cloud-based operations management platform with experienced project managers strategically located around the world. Where many unmanaged crowd providers rely solely on technology as a management tool, we've learned through experience that success is driven by people, not machines…and this dynamic will likely never change.
Redesigning Workflow to Function in a Crowd Model is a Complex Process
During the past ten years, we've become adept at evaluating complex business processes and redesigning their componential tasks to be executed by the virtual workforce. However, this is not a capability that was developed overnight; it took a great deal of experience and even some hard-learned lessons. Now, we have a formalized analysis process that even helps clients identify obsolete workflow killers that the crowd can simply eliminate. It's this experience in process and task design that is the "skeleton key" to maximizing the crowd. By leveraging our proprietary project management platform, we can systematically track the deconstructed workflow and actually deliver project results faster, cheaper and more accurately than the client's former procedures.

Dollar Sagged after Fed Showed Guarded View Towards Inflation. Fed policymakers had a prolonged debate about the inflation and the path of future interest rate. While this did little to cool strong expectations for the Fed to raise interest rates in December, it did make the central bank appear slightly less hawkish than it appeared right after the September policy meeting when it signaled the year-end monetary tightening. The dollar index slipped to a two-week low of 92.891.
Gold Extends Gains After Latest Fed Meeting Minutes. Gold continued its rally for a fourth straight day after U.S. Federal Reserve showed policymakers debated the prospects of a pickup in inflation and the path of future interest rate rises if it did not. The U.S. central bank should gradually increase interest rates over the next two years, bringing the federal funds rate to 2.5 percent. Spot gold was up 0.4 percent at $1,293.92 per ounce, silver rose 0.8 percent to $17.22 per ounce.
Oil Drops on Rising U.S. Crude Inventories, OPEC Seen to Extend Cuts. Oil prices eased on Thursday as U.S. fuel inventories rose despite efforts by OPEC to cut production and tighten the market. U.S. WTI crude futures were trading at $51.08 per barrel, down 0.4 percent from their last settlement, Brent crude futures were at $56.62, down 0.6 percent from the previous close.

I arrived at Park Campus on my move-in date, picked up all the necessary information and went to my accommodation afterwards. It was all pretty straight forward. I moved into halls of residence at the same time as all the UK students and therefore missed the introduction for international students , which was a week earlier. I regretted missing the chance to connect with them at first, but luckily there were enough people on my course and in halls to make friends with anyway.
Connecting with your fellow flatmates is very simple as long as you participate in conversations, socialise in common areas and don't stick to your own room all the time, especially Freshers Week – your first week at university. Everyone is looking to meet new friends and you will therefore have no problem finding some. The accommodation is decent and halls of residence are probably the best way to connect with fellow students, next to societies, sport clubs and your course!
I also signed up to join the rowing team as a total rookie but the team is great! Next to training, we also have differently themed socials at a bar around the corner every Wednesday. It is loads of fun although I have to admit that it is hard to compete with the British drinking culture when I have a 9.15am lecture the next day… So I went from attending weekly at the beginning to just a few times to manage my studies and save some money.

I had issues as well with bluetooth and xp. The 6300 will accept up to 2GB micro SD card. You should buy one of these and load the full MP3 on the card from your computer and then put the card in the phone. Here is a link for a 1GB that will hold about 500 songs 1GB Card $9.29.
If you dont have a card reader on your PC also buy a usb card reader $3.00

Once thing that I'm really looking forward to add to her new room, is this gorgeous K Desk by Rafa-Kids. I think it will look stunning on the black floorboards.
It's a beautiful, simple design, the way I like things and I know she will love using masking tapes to create hew own little moodboard.
The minx is growing fast. This afternoon alone, she organised her own playdate with her friend and got Linda, our au-pair (who I took to Bikram yoga yesterday at 6.30am and almost died on the spot ;-) to call us to let us know.

When discussing the history of Chattanooga's ever-evolving music scene, you'll eventually circle around to Mark "Porkchop" Holder, a founding member of blues-punk band The Black Diamond Heavies. Carrying the mantle of archetypal bluesmen like Robert Johnson and Mississippi Fred McDowell, while also slinging the caustic bite of The Clash and rock weight of Black Sabbath, Holder and his band (bassist Travis Kilgore and drummer Doug Bales) roar through the wilds of old-school blues, rock and punk.
It's only been nine months since we last heard from Holder, on the occasion of the release of his last record, "Let It Slide," a collection of blues-minded rock songs that speaks to his extensive history with the genres that provided such an inspiration to him over the years. He's back with "Death and the Blues," another dense mash of electric rhythms and burning riffs that explore the connections that exist between older artists—he covers Don Nix and Junior Kimbrough, and tackles a traditional song originally recorded by Marty Robbins—and their influence on more modern interpretations of their work.
On his latest single, "Captain Captain," he stomps his way through a scorching blues jam that would make Howlin' Wolf proud. Anchored by fiery harmonica and blazing guitar licks, the song does justice to Holder's influences by preserving their spirit but also contains a good deal of his own manic creativity. The drums clomp along as wonderfully wonky bass lines shuffle from one verse to the next; it's a perfect example of how each member adds a distinct personality to the music.
Recorded at Tiny Buzz in Chattanooga, the track feels far more incendiary than anything on his last album. The band approaches "Captain Captain" with teeth bared and fingers tracing lightning along strings and across drumheads. Holder and the band never lose their focus, getting inside the bones of their influences so that they can properly distill the essence of those sounds. Coursing with a dynamic blues resolution, it certainly makes the case that these particular rhythms and tones sit at the center of all modern rock aesthetics. And we should all be glad that musicians such as Holder, Kilgore and Bales are willing to breathe life into them for our benefit.

Stop Guessing
Take the guesswork out of weight loss programs! Studies have found that depending on your genetic type, you'll be more successful at losing weight by following the specific type of diet and exercise that is most appropriate for your metabolism and risk factors. Through our genetic testing, we can identify your genetic makeup, or genotype, and then design a diet and exercise program customized to your body's specific needs.
Stanford University Clinical Study
In a 2007 study, 311 women were randomly assigned to follow either the Atkins, Zone, LEARN, or Ornish Diets. At the end of a year, the 77 women assigned to the Atkins group had lost an average of 10.4 pounds. Those assigned to LEARN lost 5.7 pounds, Ornish followers lost 4.8 pounds and women on the Zone lost 3.5 pounds, on average.In all four groups, some women lost up to 30 pounds and kept it off for more than a year, but the biggest differences in weight loss were actually within diet groups.
What accounted for these differences?
Researchers analyzed whether women assigned certain diets appropriate for their genotypes lost more weight than those who followed diets not matched to their genotypes.. They concluded that women assigned to a genotype-appropriate diet lost 5.3% of their body weight compared with just 2.3% among those not matched to genotype. Within the Atkins group, for example, those appropriately assigned by genotype lost approximately 12 pounds compared with 2 pounds for those who lacked the low-carbohydrate genotype. All other groups had similar reductions in weight among those appropriately assigned by genotype.
What does this mean for you?
You no longer have to guess if you'll do better on a low carb, low fat, or mixed diet. You will know the exact percentage of carbs, fats, and protein that are most beneficial for YOUR genetic type.
What can you learn from our DNA Test?
- If your body is resistant to losing weight.
- How well your body is able to process carbohydrates in your diet.
- How much body fat you can lose through cardio exercise.
- How effectively your body is able to absorb folate, a B-complex vitamin that is necessary for cell growth and metabolism and is especially important for pregnant women.
- How sensitive your body is to the amount of fat in your diet.
- How your body responds to strength training.
- How sensitive your body is to the amount of protein in your diet.
At Equilibrium, we are committed to giving you data about what's going on inside your body, so you can make informed decisions about which weight-loss path is right for you. Our programs, including our genetic testing, are science-based and are customized specifically for you.
Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
How does the DNA testing work?
We use a noninvasive swab to collect cells from the mouth. The swab is easy to use and only takes about a minute to collect enough DNA for analysis. Once collected, the swab is mailed directly to our lab for analysis.
What genes are analyzed with the genetic test?
Our lab analyzes approximately 50 unique genes that have been shown through external research to be related to various ways the human body processes food, nutrients, and physical exercise.
When will I get my results?
Typical turnaround time for the entire process (swab kit shipping, DNA extraction and analysis, quality inspection, report generation) is approximately 10-25 business days. We will email you as soon as your report is ready.
*ASK about the Equilibrium's DETOX DIET while you are waiting for your test results!
What information will be included in my report?
Your report will contain nutrition and exercise recommendations specific to your genetic test results (i.e., your DNA). The nutrition information will discuss in layman's terms how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you should consume daily, as well as which micronutrients you may be at risk for being deficient in, and which foods are good sources of those micronutrients. You will learn how your body responds to fat, protein and carbohydrate intake in relation to how you'll use them for energy, and thus, how best to eat in order to lose body fat.
Your report will also indicate what your likeliness is of using fat for energy during different types of exercise. It will give you specific information about exercises that are best aligned with your genetic test results: which types of exercise, at what intensity, for how long and how often.
In addition to the report, you will also have access to genotype-specific content within our secure web portal. Hundreds of videos, recipes and articles are prioritized for you based on your genotype and available to you at any time.
Will you test for any serious inherited diseases?
No. Genetic Direction focuses solely on those genes that are related to the body's ability to process food, nutrients and physical exercise. Any DNA test performed to detect predictors for disease should be interpreted by a physician or a certified genetic counselor.
What will happen to my sample after it has been analyzed?
Unless you give us authorization to store your sample in our lab's bio-banking facility, your DNA sample will be destroyed by the lab within 45 days of analyzing the DNA.
How is my personal information protected?
To prevent unauthorized access to your information, our systems are run on HIPAA-compliant architecture, employing secure servers, firewalls and encrypted back-ups.
Who can view and use my account information?
You control access to your account information and test results. As long as you do not share your account password and username, no other individual will have access to your account or your results, except the Equilibrium staff.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a genetic test?
Probably not. Most insurance companies do not yet pay for genetic tests related to health management programs. We believe they will at some point in the future, so it might be worth checking with your insurance carrier.
Can my insurance company or employer request or independently obtain a copy of my results?
No. Your privacy is protected by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which was instituted in the United States in May 2008. As a result, you are also not required to disclose genetic information to an employer or insurer. In addition, Equilibrium will not respond to any request for test results from an insurer, employer or any other entity.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes with conditions.
Canceling an Order
If you change your mind about purchasing our service and cancel before we initiate fulfillment of your order, the charge will be voided. This cancellation option is available for 24 hours after you place your order.
Refund Policy
If you have registered the saliva swab kit and sent it to our lab to be processed and no longer wish to purchase our service, we will refund the balance of the total purchase price less shipping costs and a $200 processing fee; which includes our lab and swab kit costs. In addition, your portal id will be canceled and you will no longer have online access to your health report and wellness resources.
Once you have received your personal wellness report based upon your DNA results there will be no refunds.
