2015 was a busy year. I finally moved to London and am a happily settled in my newly decorated flat in Streatham (South London!). So now I have a new obsession with interiors and have bought books on different types of light fittings...who am I?! I'm definitely not an expert but be prepared I may have to feature some of my findings and interior experiments on here. I thought it would only be right for my first post as a city resident to be shot in the very cultural Brixton, just a few mins down the road from me. I am sitting on the beautiful steps in front of Brixton church which have the most gorgeous stone columns. This church also features a great Tapas restaurant underground (fun fact!) which has some of the best Spanish Tapas London has to offer. My Spanish boyfriend also rated the food pretty high so that must say something.

The Last Days of Winter
I have my fingers tightly crossed that this will be my last post with a wooly hat and jumper before the Spring season sweeps in. However this green leather jacket, I predict, will not be restricted to any future posts. Somehow I haven't managed to find an outfit that this purchase doesn't go with. Like khaki, this olive green complements so many other colours which means its super easy to style. I bought it from Topshop Boutique where quality and design can be compared with some of my favourite luxury brands. The wooly beany hat I am proud to say was made by my sister *thanks Rosie!*.

Baby It's *Still* Cold Outside
Whilst its still pretty chilly outside at the moment a cover up or kimono is a trendy alternative to throw-over an outfit without disguising it altogether. This one I'm wearing is from River Island a few years ago but since Burberry brought out personalised kimonos for AW14, the design has been filtered down and copied a lot this season so that folk like me can bag one from the highstreet. Although the kimono has a dominant tribal pattern I've still teamed it with a striped shirt as I love a clashing print. My cuffs are from & Other Stories which can be shown off in all their glory with a shirt like this.

Nutty Granola and Flapjacks - The Honestly Healthy Way
When it comes to cereals and 'healthy' treats, I feel like I never really know what brands to trust. For January I've experimented with homemade recipes so that I can be sure what I am eating is wholesome and nutritious. Honestly Healthy is a fab recipe book which focuses on eating the Alkaline way and avoiding acidic foods which can affect digestion. This post is inspired by their 'Sticky Seed Flapjack' recipe which is jam packed with nuts, seeds and fruit. I've taken the recipe one step further by making a homemade granola with the ingredients and whipping up a dreamy breakfast with the results.

Céline anyone?
The sports luxe trend is one thats been lingering for a number of seasons now and for that I am eternally grateful as I will always have an excuse for wearing trainers to work. I have to admit I often miss out the 'luxe' part to my sporty looks when I'm dashing around on a daily basis yet styling these comfy shoes with a white Céline tee usually does the trick. I love this modern take on the tennis skirt in matte pleated pleather adding texture and femininity to the outfit. I've added a metallic flat clutch to finish off, matching my ever-so-loved collection of silver rings.

I find I'm at my most comfortable when I'm wearing a printed t-shirt and skinny jeans. Its such an easy look to pull off and can be dressed up or down for all occasions. I love this AC-DC rock t-shirt which I've styled with a super long waistcoat and ripped skinny jeans. These leopard print pony-skin boots add a bit of glam-rock to any outfit, and they are currently in the Zara sale. Whenever I wear these I always get asked where I got them from so they're definitely a must try.

Actress Taraji P. Henson had a blast from the past during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday (13Oct15) when she picked out the school pal who crowned her homecoming queen when they were both teenagers from a video wall.
The Empire star was asked to pick a person from her past from a gallery of six people, and after choosing a guy who had no links to the star, she chose Vanessa Motley-Fulford who preceded the actress as queen at Oxon Hill High School in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
Motley-Fulford revealed the Henson she knew was nothing like her ferocious yet beloved TV character Cookie Lyon, stating, "I always thought she was very sweet and quiet and she was always smiling."

Quebec fur farmer charged with animal cruelty
A Quebec fur farmer faces six counts of animal cruelty and neglect, the Montreal SPCA said Monday.
The province's parks and wildlife department conducted multiple inspections of Visons JNJ Inc. in Monteregie this year and found about 80 foxes were in "critical condition" and suffering health problems including dehydration, emaciation, tail injuries, ear and eye infections and internal bleeding, the SPCA said. Approximately 10,000 mink were also found with a variety of health issues.
In May, several foxes had to be euthanized, and two dogs were seized, the organization said.
The SPCA said it has tried unsuccessfully to get the ministry to use its greater law enforcement powers to intervene and remove the remaining animals from the farm.
The accused, Jean-Luc Rodier, was previously convicted of animal cruelty in 1996 for his treatment of dogs he was breeding for commercial purposes, the SPCA said.

The USS Pickerel (SS-177) was a Perch-class World War II era submarine.
The namesake of the USS Pickerel is any of several small species of pike, such as Esox niger (chain pickerel) and E. americanus americanus (redfin pickerel), of eastern North America.
The radio call sign of the USS Pickerel was NAN-ABLE-QUEEN-MIKE.
On March 18, 1943, the Pickerel, captained by Lieutenant Commander Augustus H. Alston, Jr., sailed from Pearl Harbor on her seventh and final war patrol. On March 22, 1943, she stopped at Midway Island to refuel, and then headed to her assigned patrol area along the eastern coast of northern Honshu. She was never heard from again and was listed as missing in action on May 12, 1943. 1
The public announcement was made on August 15, 1943:
Navy Department Communiqué No. 458, August 15, 1943
1. The U. S. Submarine Pickerel has failed to return from patrol operations and must be presumed to be lost. The next of kin of personnel in the Pickerel have been so informed.
The Pickerel was struck from the Navy List on August 19, 1943. She was the first submarine lost in the Central Pacific area.
The Pickerel was possibly lost on April 3, 1943, off the eastern coast of northern Honshu. At 0020 hours that day, Pickerel had sunk the 460-ton Japanese submarine chaser Ch 13 at 40° 03′ N, 141° 58 ′E. All hands were lost with the Ch 13. Later that day, in the afternoon, a Japanese patrol plane from Ominato spotted an oil patch on the sea near the Shiranuka Lighthouse. The Japanese reckoned the submarine that had sunk the Ch 13 earlier that day had subsequently been damaged by a mine, resulting in the oil patch. The patrol plane summoned the IJN Minelayer Shirakami, the submarine chaser Bunzan Maru, and additional aircraft to the spot. A total of 53 depth charges and 23 aerial bombs were dropped at the location causing a larger quantity of oil to rise to the surface. No other American submarine was operating in or near the area of the attacks. Both JANAC and John D. Alden credit the Pickerel with sinking the Japanese cargo vessel Fukuei Maru on April 7, 1943, at the geographic position 41° 00' N, 142° 00' E. In addition, Alden also credits Pickerel with damaging the 3,083-ton cargo vessel Shoei Maru on April 4, 1943, at the geographic position 39° 42' N, 142° 05' E. If JANAC and Alden are correct, then the Pickerel was lost due to a different cause. It is also possible that the dates reported by the Japanese are wrong; perhaps the antisubmarine action occurred after the Pickerel damaged the Shoei Maru and sank the Fukuei Maru. 2
According to Wilfred J. Holmes, the Japanese had heavily mined the northeast Honshu area.
"There were two mine lines in her area, however, laid off shore in deep water the previous October, after Guardfish's field day off northeast Honshu. American submarines did not know about these mines, although in deference to the possible existence of such a field they were directed to stay in water deeper than 60 fathoms. These Japanese mines had been laid in 250 fathoms, deeper than any American submarines expected to encounter moored mines, and Pickerel may have run into this field.
"Japanese mine lines were often laid to present a 10 per cent threat; that is, a submarine crossing a single line once had only a 10 per cent chance of hitting a mine, but of course if Pickerel operated very long in the area she may have crossed either or both of these mine lines many times. Moored mines at the end of 250 fathoms of cable, dipped and swung at the end of their long tether in a wholly unpredictable fashion, and might rarely watch at the depth they were set to operate, but even with the probabilities in favor of Pickerel she may well have hit a mine." 3
The bottom line is no one knows for sure what happened to the Pickerel. The reason for her loss remains a mystery.
The Pickerel received three battle stars for World War II service. Her JANAC score is four Japanese vessels sunk for 6,472 tons, including the two vessels sunk on her last patrol. Her Alden-McDonald score is six vessels sunk for 6,592 tons and three vessels damaged for 12,710 tons. The Pickerel's SORG score is three vessels sunk for 16,100 tons and two vessels damaged for 9,100 tons. 4
A list of the personnel lost with the Pickerel is maintained at On Eternal Patrol.

Another mini-excursion to the Colne Valley for The Swan's first beer festival in the tiny hamlet of Crimble was a last minute switch due to poor weather scuppering plans to visit Norfolk.
Thirty two beers plus the Eddie Grange Pork Pie Range and collectible souvenir glass was a winning formula and I'm already looking forward to the next one - probably in September according to the landlord.
Most of the beers were familiar but of the less recently encountered ones, I picked out the Hambleton Goldfield 4.2% as my personal favourite with Lancaster Duchy 3.9% a very close second.
Unfortunately it was a rotation system so multiple visits would have been necessary to get through the entire menu, having said that, ten out of ten for effort and putting The Swan on the valley's ever increasing list of good ale pubs!

Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston and Mark Strong star in the new John Carter trailer
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant
JOHN CARTER may end up being a spectacular movie, but after seeing the first two trailers, the only movie that comes to mind is Kevin Costner's WATERWORLD. I know the two films have nothing in common (other than extraordinary budgets), but JOHN CARTER just reminds me of the 1995 film. It might have something to do with he crazy amount of money Disney has poured into JOHN CARTER or maybe how creating a world from scratch is tough to do in two hours, but something tells me that the film's investors are going to have a hard time recouping that $300 million.
The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston, Mark Strong, Thomas Hayden Church, Lynn Collins, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, Willem Dafoe and Samantha Morton. The Andrew Stanton (WALL-E) directed film hits theaters everywhere on March 9th, 2012.

Although voluntary products are becoming more prevalent in the market as employees shoulder more of their healthcare costs, a group of product experts warned not to offer too many elective benefits at once, as doing so overwhelms those making the purchasing decision.
Still, the need for voluntary is clear. Seventy-nine percent of employees see a growing need for voluntary insurance in 2017 compared to the prior year, largely due to the rising cost of health insurance and out-of-pocket costs rising, according to an Aflac study.
To date, voluntary products are not widely offered. Although 58% of employees say their employed offered short-term disability in 2016, according to research by the Employee Research Institute, only 33% are offered long-term care insurance, 28% accident insurance, 19% critical illness and 16% cancer insurance.
With so much need for voluntary and multiple products, it is important for employers to pick the right amount of products to offer.
Speaking last week at a conference sponsored by HR technology company PlanSource in Park City, Utah, a group of voluntary experts suggested starting with a few products because offering multiple causes employee to become overwhelmed.
"At the end of the day, employees have a fixed amount of discretionary income," Stephanie Smith, associate vice president at Allstate Benefits, said. "Employees will only spend so much money on benefits. You want to make sure it goes to where it counts."
When too many products are offered, she said that employees may become frustrated and enroll in none. It also creates difficulty for brokers trying to explain them. "It is hard to educate on all products if you offer too many," said Kent Grimes, assistant vice president at Unum. "Think of how much mind space we create."
Despite all these challenges, Todd Smick, third party relationship manager at MetLife, advised taking a roll out approach.
"We don't want to roll out all the products in [year one]," he said, suggested instead to responsibly roll out products at the right time to meet the needs of the employees, as they become accustomed to what they have.
"There are a lot of studies that illustrate and support the need for more choices," he said. "Employees need choices, but we don't want to jump into everything at once."
Another reason why more products can slowly be offered is because the delivery mechanism are becoming better, including technology and decision-support tools that position a product in the right space, he added.

Wednesday 4th January - Dress up as a superhero
Posted 28/12/2016
Merry Christmas to everyone from all of the Reception staff!
Our Imaginative Learning Project next half term is going to be 'Superheroes'. On the first day back after Christmas, Wednesday 4th January, we would like to invite your child to dress up as a superhero for the day. This could be as their favourite fictional superhero/heroine; a real-life superhero, e.g. a fireman or a nurse; or someone in your child's life that they view as being a hero e.g. Mum or Dad. They may come to school dressed in their superhero clothes and stay in them for the remainder of the day.
On this day, we will be having a super cinema experience where we are planning on watching 'The Incredibles' together in the hall. We envisage that this will be a great start to our new theme and that it will inspire lots of interesting talk, ideas, writing and art work.

Please don't forget that you are welcome to come and watch a Phonics lesson any time.
This week we are learning...
Posted 21/10/2016
This week we have been learning new letters and sounds ck, e, u, r. We have also been counting groups of objects and identifying them using the language 'more' and 'fewer'. Your child will be coming home with a 'Little Star' book - please check inside for your holiday activity. Your child should also have a 'WOW' certificate in their bag that is for you to fill in when they do something amazing at home; if you return the certificates to school we will celebrate your child's achievements and display them outside the classroom. After half term our imaginative learning project will be 'Muck, Mess and Mixtures'. Please continue with reading and practicing letters and sounds over the holidays. We have had a brilliant first half term and the Reception children are happy and confident in school. In order to promote independence, we would like to ask that after the half term your child comes in to school by themselves. Enjoy the holidays!
Guess what we've been doing...?
Posted 7/10/2016
This week the children have been working hard to learn the letter sounds i, n, m and d. We have also been looking at numbers to 10 - what they look like, how we write them and how we can match a quantity to a numeral, i.e. counting out 6 dinosaurs to match the number 6. As part of our dinosaur theme, we have been learning about volcanoes. We are making our own volcano and we hope to make it erupt!
Next week we will be looking at Phase 2 letters and sounds g, o, c, k. We will also be learning about 2D shapes and their properties. We will be making a sockosaurus - please could your child bring a sock to school on Monday if they haven't done so already.

February 2007
A Harris Poll of 2,010 U.S. adults in October 2006 found that 42 percent said they are not "absolutely certain" that God exists. Three years ago it was 34 percent (www.breitbart.com, Oct. 31, 2006). In three more years will it be 50 percent?
Among religious groups who are "absolutely certain" that God exists: 76 percent of all Protestants, 93 percent of "born again" evangelicals, and only 64 percent of Catholics.
Absolute belief in God has a lot to do with the culture wars. In Time magazine (Aug. 28, 2006), 10 questions were asked of Pat Buchanan. One question was: "Do you think legal gay marriage is inevitable?" Buchanan answered: "Traditionalists still have the upper hand, but there's no doubt which way the trend is going. And it is not going the conservative way." Another question was: "Can conservatives win the culture wars?" Buchanan answered: "Those of us on the right have been losing ground since the 1970s and '80s. Can we ultimately win? I think you would need a reconversion of the country to a traditionalist, Christian point of view -- and I don't see that coming."
We hear over and over about religious revivals, but it's just wishful thinking or even monkeyshine. We hate to bear bad news, but America is going downhill.

This is the third year in a row on the Journal Sentinel list
The School District of Menomonee Falls is proud to announce that it has been named on the Journal Sentinel's Top Workplace list for the third time in three years.
"This is an award given to us by our employees, first and foremost," said Superintendent Dr. Pat Greco. "Our employees commit to providing unwavering support to each other and to our community's children every single day and it shows in our work environment and opportunities for staff and students."
The designation of Top Workplace is bestowed upon companies that participate in a workplace dynamics survey on work atmosphere, support and opportunities in the workplace. Staff does not know the survey is for Top Workplace as the district regularly surveys its staff around workplace environment already.
This year SDMF came in at number 17 in the "Large Employer" category of 500+ employees and ranks among other incredible districts like Muskego-Norway and Sussex Hamilton.
Menomonee Falls High School science teacher and wrestling coach Jim McMahon had this to say about his school during a board meeting, long before staff was notified of the new accolade:
"I am truly humbled to be a teacher at MFHS this is an incredible community to raise your kids in," he said. "It's an incredible school and there are just so many positive things that happen here on a daily basis."

Technology transfer
between AUTOMOTIVE
and AERONAUTICAL sectors
AEROCAR is a 3-year European project co-financed by the Interreg Sudoe Program through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which aims to create a technology transfer network between the aeronautical and automotive sectors. The collaboration of companies and technological centres in Portugal, France and Spain will result in a constant synergy favouring the transfer of knowledge from one sector to another. It will also contribute to improve the productivity of companies in the SUDOE region, thanks to the creation of new Technologies, materials and/or processes.
The main objective of the AEROCAR project is to promote the technological transfer between the aeronautical sector and the automotive sector. It seeks to enhance the existing synergies between two key strategic sectors of the SUDOE area identified in the Strategies of Intelligent Specialization. In addition, there is a transfer between more advanced regions in R&D with other regions that are less developed in the area.

Such was the power of the beauty inside her that winter turned to spring in her path and flowers grew in her footsteps.
The Daughter gave me a memory foam pillow for Mother's Day because I had been complaining about a sore neck and shoulders. And she wrote such beautiful words on the pillowcase that I began to feel like the Queen of the Faerie Folk. Then when she told me how she came by such an expensive pillow, I was bemused.
The Daughter is careful with money, and she is trying to save up enough to pay her own way through university. Bless her determination to stand on her own 2 feet! The memory foam pillow was all of $149 but if she spent $100, she could buy it for $19. The Daughter couldn't afford such an expensive pillow. She must have looked a little forlorn because the sales lady told her that many people spend hundreds of dollars but don't want to buy the pillow because they have no use for it. Then, the sales lady helped her to ask one of these customers if The Daughter could ride on her receipt of $300+ to buy 2 pillows. One for Mother's Day and another for Father's Day.
A very nice lady obliged. It was a win-win all around. It inconvenienced the lady not at all. The sales lady was able to reduce her stocks of the memory foam pillow. The Daughter bought 2 pillows to honour her parents and help preserve their aging spines. I guessed it helped that The Daughter is humble, sweet and gentle in her ways with people... so sales ladies and hawker centre aunties just reach out and help her. Even cats bring The Daughter gifts. See here.

Sean Lamont, Mike Ross and Marcus Horan will be among the heavy hitters looking to help the Classic Lions reclaim the World Rugby Classic title next month.
Lions, who previously claimed the title in 2015 with a win over the Classic All Blacks, open their campaign against France Classic Rugby in a group B match on Sunday, November 5.
Lamont, only the second Scottish player to win 100 caps for his country, retired from professional rugby last season while playing for Glasgow Warriors.
The 36-year-old centre scored 70 points for Scotland from 2004 to 2017, and 320 points during his club career, which included two spells at the Warriors. He is presently a Scottish Rugby Academy coach.
Ross, who also retired last season, made 61 appearances for Ireland, playing in two World Cups, as well as winning a pair of Six Nations titles.
The 37 year-old also won two Heineken Cups, a Challenge Cup and two Pro12 titles with Leinster. Meanwhile, Horan was capped 67 times by Ireland and was part of the side that won the Grand Slam in 2009.
The 40-year-old, who retired in 2013, also represented Ireland at the 2007 World Cup and won a pair of Heineken Cup and a Magners League with Munster.
Also named in the 24-man squad are Tomás O'Leary, a former Ireland scrum half, Gavin Kerr, who won 50 caps as a prop for Scotland, and returning players Chris Wyatt, Ceri Sweeney, David Corkery, Ritchie Rees and Neil Best.
The Lions, who were beaten 14-7 by the Classic Springboks in the semi-finals last year, will be coached by Derek McAleese, a former Ireland fly half, and managed by former Wales lock Allan Martin.
The World Rugby Classic runs from November 5 to 11, with the opening game between Classic Pumas and Rugby Canada at North Field at 2.30pm.

If you are a fan of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," you know that Aragorn was described by the words "Not all who wander are lost." Now, while that's perfectly fine for a ranger and the future king of Gondor, it's not fine for IT departments as they move their communications systems to SIP. To wander is to waste money, frustrate users, and perhaps lose a job or two. Instead, you want a plan, milestones to measure that plan, and acceptance criteria to ensure that you accomplished what you set out to do.
As a result of my many meetings with IT departments across the country, I've come up with a list of what I call "ask yourself" questions. These are questions that need to be asked and answered in order to determine what you are trying to accomplish and help uncover issues before they become problems.
What are you trying to do with SIP?
While this may sound like an obvious question, I am often surprised when the answer comes back as "I am not really sure." Despite SIP being around for nearly two decades, there are too many people who aren't quite sure what it can do. This is where I help by refining the question into a series of queries.
Are you looking to add SIP applications? Perhaps you are upgrading to a voice mail system that only supports a SIP interface. SIP could also be the interface to a new conferencing server, contact center platform, or Interactive Voice Response (IVR) unit. Most traditional TDM-connected applications have made the move to SIP, and older, line-side T1 interfaces are a thing of the past.
Are you interested in replacing your TDM trunks with SIP? This is the starting point for many SIP conversions. In addition to lower costs, enterprises are excited about the robustness that SIP brings to their communications platforms.
Do you want to replace digital, analog, H.323, or proprietary IP (e.g. Nortel's UNIStim) telephones with new SIP stations? Not only is there value in upgrading traditional desk telephones, SIP clients have found homes on Windows and Apple PCs, tablets, and mobile devices. Frankly, mobile device clients are often reason enough to go to SIP.

A cup of tea and some vegetable cutlets .... do you need anything more to spend a winter evening ?? I am always up for this kind of evenings. These cutlets are very much available in Kolkata, or bengal. I guess, almost nobody makes vegetable cutlets at home. On any occasion or just to enjoy some snacks, these chops were always bought from 'telebhajar dokan' / fast food center in my home. But in US, almost every Bengali knows how to make them. You can also make them in large quantity and then freeze them to enjoy afterwards. The recipe has no onion and no garlic, still yummy ...!

"Over the next 3 years, the TechStars Network will ensure that 5,000 successful and experienced entrepreneurs and investors will mentor and support 6,000 promising young entrepreneurs, increasing their success rate tenfold and creating 25,000 new jobs by 2015 and a sustained engine for growing these figures over time." – David Cohen Founder and CEO, TechStars
As Part of the White House StartUP America Program, startup accelerator TechStars is rolling out TechStars Network, "an alliance of independently owned and operated startup accelerator programs from dozens of cities across the United States and around the world."
Based upon the mentorship-driven model pioneered by TechStars, these programs provide seed funding and mentorship to innovative entrepreneurs. The TechStars Network connects these organizations and provides best practices, professional development, networking opportunities and ongoing support for member organizations.
The TechStars Network will be part of The StartUP America Partnership, launched earlier today by President Obama. In partnership with the White House, the goal of the TechStars Network is to become an engine for job growth by ensuring that over the next four years, 5,000 experienced business leaders and investors will mentor and support 6,000 promising young entrepreneurs. The aim is to increase the success rate and sustainability of each program, and to ultimately create 25,000 new economy jobs by 2015.
"We've been flattered by more than one hundred organizations who have contacted us hoping to learn from our experiences at TechStars. We've always tried to be responsive and have helped many get started," said David Cohen, founder and CEO of TechStars. "The TechStars Network signals and formalizes our support for other credible mentorship-driven programs. We believe the proliferation of the mentorship-driven accelerator model is healthy for entrepreneurs. Through this network of independent organizations, we can help increase their impact dramatically and make entrepreneurial communities the real winners."
"At Tech Wildcatters, we believe collaboration across boundaries builds stronger communities. The TechStars Network will be the catalyst for a nationwide startup ecosystem, something our country desperately needs. With TechStars Network's rich set of strategic resources, we will build stronger companies faster that are better able to compete globally," said Gabriella Draney, co-founder of Tech Wildcatters, a TechStars Network member based in Dallas, Texas.
Currently there are 16 invitation-only TechStars Network member organizations in major cities across the United States and around the world. Today the network is open to all entrepreneurial thought leaders and organizations interested in building or enhancing mentorship-driven startup accelerator programs.
Some of the TechStars Network launch partners include Alphalab, Arizona State University, Betaspring, Excelerate, Springboard and others.

Island hop from home to holiday
Ahoy GTOs! Prepare to step aboard and take to the seas with our guide to ferry and fixed link services.
Just a puddle away
With a growing number of 'staycationers' leaving their passport at home, there is no better place to begin than with a visit to one of the British islands dotted off the mainland. Starting on the south coast, Red Funnel Ferries, original ferry operator to the Isle of Wight, runs regular vehicle and passenger services from Southampton across the Solent to the 'Garden Isle'. Access to the destination, a favourite for walking groups, is now even easier as Red Funnel has launched smartphone technology. GTOs can receive timetable information, service updates and live vessel positioning on the move, to ensure their trip itinerary will run to schedule.
Isle of Wight holidaymakers are now being issued with a passport in a new initiative launched by Wightlink ferry services. Handed out to all Wightlink customers travelling from Portsmouth Harbour, Gunwharf and Lymington, it features a range of exclusive discounts and special offers including incentives to visit top attractions. These will be distributed at the three mainland ferry terminals by anyone purchasing a Wightlink ferry ticket.
Condor Ferries operates regular services between March and October, from Poole and Weymouth over to the Channel Islands. You can combine some time relaxing on the beaches of Dorset before exploring the sights and sounds of our French-accented cousins in Jersey and Guernsey. Take advantage of the duty-free savings onboard where you can save up to 40 per cent off high street prices. This excursion can form a day trip or longer holiday, and parties of 20 or more can access group discounts plus free coach-driver places with Condor Ferries.
The Isle of Man is considered one of the best kept secrets in the British Isles - a destination particularly well-suited to groups of motor racing fans, keen walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Located in the heart of the Irish sea, the island is easily reached from the north-west of England, via ferries hosted by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. Parties have the option of a fast-craft service from Liverpool, taking two hours and 30 minutes, or the conventional ferry crossing from Heysham, Lancashire, at three hours and 30 minutes.
Whether it is for a short trip or longer break, the Manx experience can be as active or relaxing as desired; and because the ferry offers the freedom of travelling by coach, foot, car, motorbike or bicycle, a large variety of groups can be catered for. Incentives are available to parties of 20 or more adults travelling together by coach.
From bonny Scotland, your group can experience the delights of Orkney and Shetland with NorthLink Ferries. Departing from the Scottish mainland ports of Aberdeen and Scrabster, group packages can be arranged to include an itinerary and tour guide, ensuring you get the most out of your trip. Memorable island sites include the perfectly preserved 5,000-year-old stone-age village of Skara Brae, the Italian Chapel and the not-to-be-missed Shetland ponies. All of NorthLink's passenger ferries include restaurants, comfortable lounges, cinemas showing the latest releases, and well-appointed cabins with full en-suite facilities for overnight accommodation.
Sail the Irish sea
Heading west across the Irish sea, your group can visit our Celtic neighbour from various Scottish, English and Welsh ports. Stena Line runs services from Stranraer, western Scotland over to Belfast, Northern Ireland, which has in recent years emerged from conflict into a vibrant and popular tourist destination. An alternative ferry route is from Fleetwood, Lancashire, sailing into Larne, another Northern Irish town, ideally located for groups to explore the Antrim Coast.
From Holyhead, north-west Wales, groups can hop on a Stena Line boat headed for either Dublin Port or Dún Laoghaire. The latter is an up-and-coming harbour town, just seven miles from Dublin city centre - well-positioned to begin or end your group's itinerary around Ireland. If it's more convenient for your group to depart from south-west Wales, then the Fishguard to Rosslare crossing is for you. Begin your holiday by taking in the Pembrokeshire scenery before hitting the Irish shore.
Another carrier to the Emerald Isle is Irish Ferries. The company boasts a modern fleet which offers groups a very refined crossing to Ireland. Facilities on-board Ulysses include a brasserie, cafe, bar, cinema, family entertainment centre, shopping arcade, balcony lounge and promenade deck. Dublin, recently awarded the title 'City of Literature' by UNESCO, in recognition of its rich literary history and vibrant contemporary scene, can be reached via ferry from Holyhead, north Wales. The Dublin Swift fast ferry makes the crossing in just one hour, 49 minutes, whilst what is reportedly the world's largest car ferry, Ulysses, makes the crossing in three hours, 15 minutes.
If your group prefers a trip with a more relaxed pace, Isle of Inishmore operates two return crossings daily from Pembroke in south Wales to Rosslare in County Wexford. A journey time of three hours, 45 minutes will take you directly to the sunniest corner of Ireland. Irish Ferries provides coach drivers complimentary travel and food, plus special rates apply for groups of ten or more passengers.
Ride the Channel
From one Celtic land to another, France is an eternally popular holiday destination with the Brits due to its nearby location and mild climate. Calais lends itself as a tourist region, as well as a convenient gateway to the rest of the country and mainland Europe. SeaFrance is the only French operator on the Dover to Calais route, therefore offering groups an authentic experience before arriving in France.
A full range of group catering options are available to pre-book - anything from a three-course meal to a packed lunch for your group's onward journey. For those parties looking to snap up a bargain, there are savings to be made in the onboard dutypaid shop. SeaFrance ferries stock an extensive wine cellar, plus a wide selection of beers and spirits, and a range of fragrances, gifts and confectionery.
P&O Ferries is another carrier on the Dover to Calais route. With a 90-minute journey time and numerous, round-the-clock sailings, your group can travel at leisure. Next year, the company will take delivery of two new ships for this service. At 49,000 gross tonnes, 213 metres in length and accommodating up to 195 tourist vehicles, the Spirit of Britain and Spirit of France will reportedly be the largest ferries ever to operate between the Channel ports. Book early and your group could be amongst the first to sample the facilities of the new sister vessels at P&O Ferries.
Sailing from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth direct to some of the most popular holiday regions in France, Brittany Ferries offers a choice of destinations as well as a comfortable and economic commute. With up to 100 sailings a week, groups can choose to cruise across by day, or sleep away the miles on an overnight crossing; whilst those on a tight schedule can take the high-speed service and arrive in France in as little as two hours, 15 minutes. Arrival ports include St Malo in Brittany and Caen and Cherbourg in Normandy. Brittany Ferries group benefits feature complimentary coach driver travel with a minimum of 23 adults, and special rates available to multiple vehicle groups.
Taking your coach to the continent offers real freedom to travel onwards with ease, and the Channel Tunnel provides this service as a fixed link. Eurotunnel, the Channel Tunnel's managing company, operates the facility which links Folkstone, Kent, to Calais, France in a 35-minute journey.
More than just a fixed link to Paris, the Eurostar also visits Lille, Avignon and Disneyland Paris, from London St Pancras and Ashford, Kent. Those culture vulture groups looking for a city break now have an extra incentive to book up a long weekend to the French capital. A range of two-for-one entry tickets for Paris museums and galleries are now available to Eurostar customers. The offer is valid for up to five days after the traveller's arrival at the destination, and only one person needs to have a Eurostar ticket to qualify. Attractions taking part include le musée du quai Branly, le Jeu de Paume, le Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, la Cité de la musique, and les Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais.
The North Sea and beyond
Ferry travel has cast its net that bit further in recent years, and new areas of western Europe have been made available on a direct journey by boat from the UK, with P&O Ferries offering a wide choice of routes and a frequent service to the Continent. Passenger routes incorporate Hull to Rotterdam, Holland, and Hull to Zeebrugge, Belgium, amongst others. All ships offer passenger comfort with a range of on-board facilities including restaurants and retail outlets.
With overnight P&O services departing every day, travelling from east Yorkshire to either destination is simple for groups. Catch 40 winks whilst the ferry covers the miles, and wake up feeling refreshed, ready to begin your itinerary.
DFDS Seaways also sails to Holland; however, boats depart from Newcastle's ferry terminal, which may be more convenient for groups travelling from the north. DFDS Seaways also offers a direct service from Harwich, Essex to Esbjerg in Denmark. The m.s. Dana Sirena transports passengers to the harbour town, where visitors are drawn to the local seal safari.
Cruise overnight to Holland or Denmark with DFDS Seaways and take advantage of the onboard facilities including shops, a cinema or in-cabin movies, live entertainment, bars and restaurants. Drinks receptions, dinner packages and exclusive areas can also be arranged to make your trip extra special. There is a dedicated team to manage group bookings, and for coach groups of 20 plus, the driver's travel and entry are complimentary.

When it comes to dating wealthy men there is so much to keep in mind. One important thing to know and remember is that getting him is the easy part. However, keeping him is the next step and the much more difficult part. And if you think that your looks and bedroom skills are enough sorry to tell you but you are sadly mistaken. Yes, your looks and sex skills might be enough to get him and keep his attention for a little while but that's it. Especially now that sex is so easy to come by especially for a wealthy man. Remember no matter how good you are there's someone else out their that is just as good if not better no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve. You simple have to face the facts that if you want to keep that man you're gonna have to do more than just look cute and be good in bed.
We all know that every guy is different. They all have their own "wish list" and set of priorities. Something are simple more important to some men than others. However, there are a few main things that most if not all men do look for in a life partner.
1. Be a people person with a warm personality-
Most wealthy men are required to attend and host all sorts of meetings and get togethers with colleges and customers. It is important that you are able to get along with everyone and make them feel welcomed. It's going to take more than just your looks you're going to need to use your charm and have a warm and inviting personality.
2. Be able to hold a conversations of interest to him-
While many people get caught up talking about people it's important that you stay away from that. Remember the famous quote "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
3. Know how to cook-
While most your meals may be eaten out, even wealthy men want to be able to enjoy a home cooked meal. It's important to know your way around the kitchen and be able to put your love into a dish. As mentioned earlier in many cases they tend to have to host events and they are going to want you to be able to cook up a night they'll never forget.
4. Be appreciative and grateful-
No matter how small of a gesture it is, you should always show appreciation. They are not required to do anything nice for you so if they do you should show them just how grateful you are. They last thing you want is for them to feel unappreciated!
5. Take an interest in his hobbies-
All guys have hobbies and they take them very seriously. Whether they are nto sports, video games, skydiving you name it, make sure to take part in it. Don't just sit their with a look of boredom on your face. Get involved, try it out and if it's just not for you then at least be a supportive cheerleader rooting them on.

Buy XRT via selling Aug 50 puts @56.9
XRT is the retail ETF and is down a bit today. ORLY O'Reilly Auto stores said they will come in at the low end for the next quarter. Some other retailers such as M Macys were downgraded this morning. CMG Chipotle down hard on negative analyst comments.
Yesterday's entry on WFM Whole Foods is now in the red. Another recent long trade ALXN Alexion has the stock up, but premiums are also up, so I am still in the red on my short puts. The short straddle on TLT Treasury bond ETF is working well. It is a tough market. I'm sure a few traders have a hot hand, but it is likely a very few.

2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost
The 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost is a sibling of the massive Phantom. It has been five years since its been produced for a first time and period from 2009 could be described as successful. For the 2015, British company prepared a kind of surprise, presenting Ghost II. This will be entry-level of the luxury sedan company, and it has been unveiled at Geneva Auto Show earlier this year. Big expectations are on 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost, since company expects continuation of excellent sales records.
2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost engine
Under the hood will be placed 6.6-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 powertrain, as for previous model. However, new Rolls-Royce Ghost will have outputs of 563 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. As for other new vehicles from British company, this engine is also based on the BMW's 760i drivetrain. Transmission paired with it is 8-speed auto and is satellite aided. This is new feature, put in order to predict the driver's next moves and help while driving. Rear-wheel drive system will come standard, and with it 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost will sprint to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Top speed is predicted somewhere around 154 mph.
2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost appearance
The look of the 2015 Ghost is somehow familiar, since many enthusiasts compared it to two-door Wraith coupe sibling. This came mainly because of the headlights and turn signals. However, new Ghost II is quite different, with new wake channel positioned on the hood. Car is restyled. New bumpers are more rounded and imposed.
The 2015 Ghost will also get new lines on the back. Accents on the front air intakes are renewed. Also, these intakes are bigger and front brakes will have more air for cooling. Infotainment and telematic features won't lack on 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost II. Touchscreen display on the new central stash, more chrome used in decorating interior and many more equipment stuff will make the car more elegant.
2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost release date and price
The 2015 Ghost has been presented, and it is matter of time when it will be launched. It should be by the end of the year in US. Official information that price is not set yet, but it will start somewhere around $280.000 for base models and will go over $300.000 for top of the class 2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost II.

I now have a clearer perception as to why Captor Father Fred looked like a priest. He was mocking me being the Pope's Love child. Paris, love.....his hand on my head, like a blessing.
Me in red and green....Christmas colors.
Me in red and green....Christmas colors.
Here I am in my Christmas skirt, age 10 or 11. I can see that as a love child, even in an unfriendly home, is able to radiate love to our fresh air girls visiting from NYC. Captor sister has a tight hold which she continues ...oh wait, it is May 8.... The campers get free today!

Creation Date
acrylic paint on polystyrene
Dimensions: 3.5 x 3 feet
Artist Statement
Memories are created by the journeys we take in life. Those journey's start from childhood and continue on until the end. I grew up playing music with my dad's band. We would perform in bars, retirement centers and band stands and travel all over. During our adventures we often spoke to other bands, retirees and fellow travelers, learning of their experiences as well as their regrets. As I grew older we stopped traveling and playing music, but I always remember the adventures we had.
My love for adventure, inspired by my childhood, led me to create a painting of a lighthouse I have been to as the main subject. The iconography and history associated with its symbol along with the memories made there was my main interest. The setting is very dark to mask the obstacles that are between the viewer and the lighthouse. Like traditional lighthouses, it is painted much brighter than the rest of the painting to symbolize a metaphorical achievement which lights the path for those who desire.
The shallow relief of cliffs at the bottom half of the painting as well as the rocks staged on the floor in front of the painting, represent the obstacles we all may face in life in attempt at reaching our goals. Life is a journey, whether that journey goes the way that you desire or not, the experiences and memories you obtain are with you forever. The ideas in my work are to reflect upon yourself and to reminisce on your past experiences, but to focus on your future ones. No regrets.

One of the things that every artist struggles with, at one time or another, is confidence. It's difficult to relax and realize your artistic potential if lack of confidence is making you anxious and blocking your creative flow. One of the best confidence builders is artistic community … surrounding yourself with supportive people who "get" you and share your passion. They will understand your doubts and can help you work through them by sharing their personal experience, knowledge, and encouragement. Here's a real life example …
I am a member of a local photography club, with members of every experience level. I recently attended an exhibit at a small local gallery including photos by some of our very talented club members. I was inspired by their beautiful images, the fun and stimulus of the event, and the dream was planted. I wanted to do that … someday. As soon as my images were just right. As soon as I built an extensive portfolio of epically impressive work. As soon as I had a massive inventory of gallery-ready prints. As soon as I felt, well, ready. A tall order to be sure.
Being the curious person I am, I began to follow the website and blog of the gallery. Soon enough, there was a call for artists for an upcoming show. At the next club meeting, I chatted with two of the photographers who had recently exhibited, and picked their brains about how it all worked. To my surprise, they asked if I was going to exhibit. (What? Did they think I really could?) I started to express my doubts … that my work wasn't ready, that I didn't have enough, that I didn't feel ready, but would love to sometime in the future. What happened next was the beauty of artistic community. These supportive and generous artists encouraged me to try. They helped me think through my practical concerns (for example, the number of pieces needed for the space), and patiently answered technical and logistical questions. Most importantly, they didn't show the least bit of doubt that I could do it.
That was all I needed to nudge me forward. That very evening, I contacted the gallery owner, and sent some sample images. To my surprise and delight, in a couple of days, I had an invitation to participate in an upcoming show. Happily, I have a couple of months' lead time, enough to contemplate, plan, and prepare my small part of the exhibit. But it's huge to me … a major confidence boost, and a satisfying step in my artistic journey, all because of the power of artistic community.
If you are not plugged into a group of people who share your artistic passion, whatever that may be, I encourage you to find one. The benefits are many … fun, knowledge exchange, encouragement, and confidence building. If you are already plugged in, I'd love to hear about your artistic community and what it has meant to you, so please feel free to leave me a comment.
As always, I wish you happy shooting and a satisfying photographic journey, and today, I especially wish you confidence through artistic community!

From VHS to DVD, Without the Hassle Of Do-It-Yourself
YesVideo Service Converts Old Tapes for Technophobes; Where to End the 'Scene'
If you have valuable memories stored on videotape, movie film, slides or aging prints, you're probably familiar with the nagging voice inside your head that keeps telling you to transfer that material onto DVDs, which are more durable and easier to play back. But how do you do it?
In past columns, I've reviewed do-it-yourself products that convert videotape into DVD on a home computer, or that scan slides or prints into computer files that can then be burned onto DVD. These methods are fine if you're tech-savvy enough to use...

An MVC4, iOS And Android App With ServiceStack, Xamarin and C#
John SonmezBy
Course info
Course info
It can be very difficult to build a cross platform application that will work on the web as well as popular mobile platforms like Android and iOS. In this course, I'll take you through the complete process of creating an application that works on each of the platforms and uses a REST based backend API to share data and business logic—all using C#. We'll start off this course by learning how to build a REST based API using the popular open source framework ServiceStack. I'll show you how easy it is to get ServiceStack set up and even how to store data for the API using a Redis database. Next, I'll show you how to create an ASP.NET MVC 4 application that uses the REST service we built to display it's data and implement it's logic. We'll learn how to use JQuery to make AJAX calls to a REST based API from within our MVC 4 application. Then, we'll learn how we can use C# and the .NET framework to build an Android application using the Xamarin tools. We'll use the same REST API, we created earlier and build a real native Android application that is able to consume that API for implementing its logic and displaying data. Finally, I'll show you how to do the same thing for an iOS application. We'll again use C# to build a real native iOS application with the Xamarin tools and learn how to consume REST based web services from iOS. So, if you are a C# developer and don't want to have to learn several other programming languages to build cross platform applications; you'll definitely want to check out this course. By the end of this course, you'll have the skills you need to be able to implement an end-to-end cross platform solution complete with a REST based API backend all in C#.
