Stankoski and Stout Should Take the AG Office's Offer (and then fire their lawyer)
So I read today that Cindy Stankoski and Vanessa Stout turned down a 200K settlement in their harassment lawsuit against the AG's office. Their lawyer thinks they deserve something closer to a million dollars.
I spent the day trying to come up with a reasoned and balanced response to this information but I'm having a really hard time. My brain tells me Cindy and Vanessa are two victims who totally deserve the maximum settlement they can negotiate – but my gut tells me Stankoski and Stout are a couple of undereducated, overly-lawyered bimbos trying to defraud Ohio's taxpayers.
On the one hand they do have an obvious sexual harassment claim. And sexual harassment is a serious crime that should never be tolerated. The people who committed this crime, and let me be clear here: it IS a crime, should be punished. Dann, Jennings and Gutierrez should suffer for being complete sexist assholes. And they should be held personally (read: financially) responsible for their actions.
On the other hand, I'm having a really hard time feeling bad for either of these women.
It's one thing to file a lawsuit because you are being treated unfairly at work. But it really is a whole different thing to pose for the cover of Columbus Monthly Magazine in a skin-tight body suit after you've been made famous for getting your boss fired.
Cindy and Vanessa never should have been hired to begin with. And both should have been fired at the same time as the rest of Marc Dann's unqualified and overpaid friends.
Having them on the state payroll is a waste of taxpayer dollars given that neither of these women is qualified for a job with the AG's office. Hell, they aren't even qualified for a job with KFC. With an 11th grade education and multiple drug arrests, you aren't going to find a lot of employers returning your phone calls.
This doesn't mean they don't have a valid sexual harassment claim that needs to be resolved. Certainly they do. But it isn't your typical claim.
There is no way these women can claim any actual damages in a lawsuit. They have no lost wages, etc. resulting from this harassment claim. The most they can hope for is punitive damages. Which isn't something their lawyer – or any lawyer – really wants to pursue at trial unless they really, really have to.
Cindy and Vanessa need to settle.
The AG's office needs to settle.
So why the hell is this still going on?
Listen up ladies: tell your lawyer to fuck off and accept the settlement with the AG's office. You don't need his approval.
Or at the very least present them with a counter offer. Something reasonable. e.g. 200K plus a year's salary and medical benefits so you have time to find another job.
Then hire someone else to sue Dann, et al directly.
That's what I can't understand is why are my tax dollars paying these girls. I think the wages of Dann and Guiterriez should be garnished for a decade. And take the damn thing to trial – whatever happened to personal responsibility??
I also happen to know Cindy is a long-time skank who has been in similar situations since that 11th grade education ended. She finally hit the bigtime – in so many ways.
I don't disagree with you that after seeing the cover of the magazine, my thoughts changed a bit on this one. It's one thing to really be a victim, it's another to pose on a cover…
It'd be interesting to know if they were paid to do the cover and if so, how much.
Couldn't have said it better myself… and it's unfortunate behavior because there are very legit cases of harassment on both men and women; this just makes a public mockery of it.
Nifty Lawrence
How much of the $200K would go towards their attorney fees?
How much of it would be swallowed up by taxes (including their being bumped up to a higher tax bracket for the year)?
The longer they wait, the more attorney fees they will be racking up.
I don't like to see anyone sexually harrassed – men or women but I still don't understand how a "neighbor" (Vanessa Stout) that has no high school diploma, DUI charges and a record for retail theft can get a job like this? Aaah does she want us to really think they felt sorry for her, without any other thoughts going on in the back of their
minds. You scatch my back and I will scratch yours???
I'm still shaking my head over the irony of their being named "persons of the year". Couple that with the laughable cover and I'm wondering if this was a cynical commentary on the part of Columbus Monthly. After reading the article, I'm almost convinced of that. However, I don't believe this was the case. That may be the last of the few Columbus Monthly magazines I every buy.
I pretty much agree.
Sara Miller
What you don't realize is…. if these girls didn't come forward and step up againest the "The Top Cop" of the State of Ohio, the taxpayers would be paying for the pleasures of his family and friends till 2010. And not to mention if for some reason he would get re-elected for another 4 years!!! I suggest if you don't know the whole story, don't put your two cents in.
Perhaps these chick-babes could go work for Sarah Palin. Their babbling would appear to complement her quite well, given Sara's recent grand pronouncements of her greatness!

Data streams whose events occur at random arrival times rather than at the regular, tick-tock intervals of traditional time series are highly prevalent, particularly in human behavioural data. Continuous, irregular and often highly sparse, these event series differ greatly to traditional, regularly sampled, time series and traditional approaches to analysis tend to perform poorly. This focus of this project is the development of novel techniques addressing this. Two examples are the extraction of underlying time-frequency patterns in highly intermittent data (Research Article) and the prediction of non-stationary, intermittent time series (submitted).

(Macao, Sept. 28, 2017) – After an extended five-year engagement at the integrated resort, Sands Resorts Macao and DreamWorks Animation announced today that the DreamWorks Experience, including the ever popular Po's Kung Fu Feast Character Breakfast, will enjoy its final weeks at Sands Cotai Central, with the last breakfast show to be held on Oct. 8.
Since the DreamWorks Experience at Sands Resorts Macao first launched at Sands Cotai Central in 2013 there have been over 1,530 performances at the resorts, covering a diverse array of themed activities. This thrilling portfolio of events and family fun includes year-round attractions such as Po's Kung Fu Feast – Character Breakfast with the DreamWorks All-Stars; DreamWorks Experience Birthday Parties; the DreamWorks Experience ll-Star Parade; DreamWorks Animation Character Meet and Greets; DreamWorks Experience Cool Collection along with many other seasonal activities, themed exhibitions and hotel packages.
Performances like the All-Star Parade have created a unique atmosphere of fun and delight for guests and visitors, with the DreamWorks characters lighting up public areas of the mall and resort along with vibrant dancers, music and props. Another highlight of the partnership were three first-of-their-kind DreamWorks Ice World Exhibitions, which saw over 260,000 guests enjoy themed ice carvings specially created around DreamWorks characters and stories.
DreamWorks Experience characters including Shrek, Po the Kung Fu Panda and the Penguins of Madagascar have joined guests over the years to celebrate memorable events including birthdays, Chinese New Year, Christmas and New Year's Eve.

The DreamWorks Experience at Sands Cotai Central was also listed as the Number 1 tourist attraction in Macao on TripAdvisor's 'Top 10 Things to Do in Macao' multiple times.
In addition, many of the DreamWorks Experience characters travelled with our sales teams to roadshows throughout Mainland China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan to promote not only the fabulous family fun available at Sands Cotai Central, but also Macao as a world-class travel destination.
"Over the past five years, Sands Resorts has enjoyed a great working relationship with the renowned DreamWorks Animation," said Ruth Boston, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Brand Management.

tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149299199733174032018-03-05T09:49:26.840-08:00Laptop Computergipong email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-114929919973317403.post-49269385191851530142014-08-16T04:13:00.002-07:002014-08-16T04:13:52.173-07:00 Choosing a Laptop Computer Based on Hardware and Software Needs
Laptop computers are one of the most desirable techie gadgets. A laptop is a portable computer that could comfortably be used while on a person's lap - hence the name. It contains all the basic and necessary software (like Office System and Internet access) and hardware (like CD-Rom drive and Modem) features of an ordinary computer and still fits in an ordinary briefcase or backpack.

Advantages of Owning a Laptop

1. Portability.

Being portable, it can be brought along and used anywhere - school, work, vacation trips, unlike the ordinary desktop computer. This is especially handy to a person with a very hectic schedule and busy lifestyle. In this regard, a computer addict doesn't have to be a hermit anymore! He or she can go out under the glaring rays of the sun and still hold on to the best technological breakthrough product.

2. Convenience.

It is useful for the working person, for the student, for the hobbyist, and for a computer addict too. One can take notes in class, type and print assignments and reports, access the Internet and communicate with another person on the other side of the globe. Teachers and public relations officers can make use of the laptop to give a different dimension to their presentations. Some teachers also find students are more motivated when using a laptop.

3. Size and Weight.

The dormer and studio type apartment lessee would agree that a laptop would save them more space.

4. Image.

It cannot be denied that a laptop is cool. With its sleek shape and form, it can be very eye-catching. It also gives the statement that the owner is not outdated, that he or she is in keeping with the times, and finally, computer literate.

Laptops are not that expensive anymore, but this is not the kind of item a person would shop for every other week. Each and every laptop has its own demands, requirements and features. Features you may want to look for:

1. Size and weight. Laptops are portable, but their sizes and weight still vary. To be very portable, it must be small and lightweight. They usually weigh 5 pounds. If it will be used outdoors more often, the weight should not be more than 5 pounds.

The size of the screen is also important. The usual sizes are 12.1, 13.3 and 14.4 inches. Tiny screens, as small as 8 inches, are ideal for portability, but the demands of the eyes - to have a squint-free screen - should also be considered.

2. Sturdy. A laptop must be taken care of, but it would be more ideal to have a tough and sturdy one that will be able to withstand any accidental knock or minor bump. There are models available with shock-resistant hard drive mounts. It has to be durable enough if it will be taken outdoors often.

3. Internet connection. One has to be in touch with the rest of the online community. There are wireless connections offered already. To one with budget constraints, an ordinary 56Kbps modem would do to connect to the rest of the world.

4. USB port. This should also be carefully checked out so that the laptop can be used in many more ways. There should be at least one USB port if not more, for future expansion of adding other hardware. The USB port can be used for external keyboard and mouse, but it is most useful to create connection with digital cameras, external drives, and MP3 players.

5. Battery life. The battery life of the laptop must allow the user to use and enjoy it outdoors or in areas that do not offer power resources for the public. A reasonable battery life should not be lower than 5 hours. The battery life will determine the extent of freedom that can be enjoyed with the laptop.

There are 3 kinds of batteries available.

The Lithium-ion (Li+) is usually chosen. Li+ batteries have range that can offer the best quality.

Nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries are less expensive, although they do not excle in terms of battery life.

Nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries are the ones to stay away from. They require constant recharging.

6. Technical specifications. There should be enough RAM, storage space / hard drive and computing speed. The technical specifications would depend on the most probable purpose of the laptop to the owner. If the laptop would be used for playing 3D games, it is ideal to get at least a 256 RAM. If several music or video files will be stored, a larger hard drive should be considered, 40 gigabyte is ideal.

7. Price. Finally, the laptop should be reasonably priced. There are refurbished laptops available out there for those with strict budgets but there is a way to save money and still get the ideal laptop.

First, the purpose that the laptop will serve must be properly ascertained. This will avoid purchasing laptops with expensive features that would end up being unused. Don't buy 80 gigabyte of storage space if only 3 gigabytes will be used for documents.

Stick to your budget. There are many attractive add-ons in the computer shop like glow-in-the-dark mouse pads or wireless mouse. These may not be necessary and can add to the total cost.

Taking the time to review laptops is time well spent especially when wanting to have the best working laptop for all your specific needs.

When reviewing consider these things;

1. Screen - What are you looking for in the Screen., is it resolution, size, definition.

2. Portability - Are you carrying it around a campus or is it mainly home and hotel?

3. Speed - Laptops are generally 20-30% slower that Stationary Computer with the same features. If speed is a necessity be sure to check out details such as; CPUs, motherboards, hard drives, and video systems. These all contribute to the speed loss.

4. Upgradability - Likely there will not be a lot that You can upgrade on your laptop so it is good to know what you need for the long run. Upgrades can be pricey and some almost not worth getting when You could just get a whole new laptop...so get a good one to start.

5. Memory - This is So Important! Most lower-priced laptops are sold with 128 MB of system memory (RAM). That is not enough for running applications efficiently under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. If you use your laptop for occasional typing and web surfing you could get along with 128 MB of RAM but you are likely to be much happier with 256 MBs. As well Power users would benefit from a notebook with at least 512 MB or more.

6. Batteries - Lithium batteries are superior to others.

7. Hard Drives - 20 GB is a minimum. Of course as they say, larger is better.

8. Hardware - (DVD/MPEG-2) - All DVD drives rely on MPEG graphics compression to display video. The present standard is called MPEG-2.

9. MPEG-2 compression can be provided by software which is slow or by hardware which is fast. Needless to say, hardware MPEG-2 is more desirable, and will provide a smoother playback. Hardware MPEG-2 is a video chip function in laptops.

10. Expense - Laptop computers can cost almost twice as much as similarly equipped desktops. You can actually purchase two comparably equipped desktops for the price of one laptop. So if you have to have a computer in two separate places, you would be better off with two desktops. As well if they were reasonably close together you could connect them together in a wired or wireless local area network (LAN). Buying a laptop is great if you are on the go. The more you need in it the more you'll pay but it will be worth it!

Do you remember when home wireless networking burst into our lives? Suddenly we could work from any where in the house. Have you ever wanted to do the same when you are out on the road?

With WiMax, now you can!

WiMax is a wireless network access program that offers its subscribers citywide high-speed broadband access to the internet. You can be up to 31 miles from an antenna and still get online.

Although, the further you are from the antenna the slower your connection.

Here is how it works.

A broadband provider sets up several cells to support a certain geographical area. While the theoretical range of WiMax is 31 miles, most cells will only support an area from three to 10 miles.

Within this range, special cards based on the 802.16 wireless standards will allow mobile devices to surf the internet at high speed.

This cell system is similar to how digital cell phones work now.

Where this technology really shines is for mobile business computing. Imagine you are a busy sales executive. You just finished a presentation to a major client.

The presentation went well, but they asked for some revisions. Normally, you would have to rush back to the office and have the revisions made.

With WiMax, you could connect via your VPN. Mail the changes to your office, which would make the revisions and send them back. All in a matter of minutes.

Can you imagine the level of perceived customer service your clients will have? You just told them that they are important, so important you dropped everything to handle their requests.

In just minutes you emailed the changes to your boss, she reviewed and approved them and emailed the updated paperwork directly to you. Another three minutes to print them out on your portable printer and get the clients to sign! Contract closed!

How could they not be impressed!

Typical download speeds are in the range of 400 - 700 kilo bytes per second (kbps).

That is slightly faster than many cable companies allow for their cable modems. It is much faster than DSL connectivity.

Astonishingly, this technology is capable of speed bursts of up to 2 megabytes per second (mbps)!

How can you integrate WiMax into your current business? How about setting up a wireless mobile office that is always connected to your home office?

Start with getting a good laptop computer and add as much memory as it will hold. Purchase your WiMax wireless network card to get access to the broadband system.

Now, think about accessories. Will you need a portable printer to print presentations and contracts for your customers?

What about telephone service? Do you want to transfer your office phone to your cell? It could eat up your minutes, costing you extra money.

Have you thought about Voice-over-Internet Protocol or VoIP? Another name for VoIP is Internet Phone.

You could setup your office phone with a VoIP provider and take the module to the field with you. All it needs is an active internet connection to work.

Another option is to use your VoIP with a software phone program. This way you could use your laptop as a telephone.

There you have it, a complete mobile office. How great would it be to make plans with your clients in real time? Could your competitors even try to compete with you at this level?

Most likely, they could not!

In short, wireless broadband access may be the best key to increasing your competitiveness.

The freedom to engage customers, on their turf, while maintaining connectivity to your office will allow you to respond to rapidly changing situations.

Most Requested College Keynotes
Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for student leaders and human beings.
Oh boy, another speech on leadership. Instead of waiting for the same cliché leadership lessons, it's time to be different. Let's talk about who you are personally as a leader. As humans, we can't learn things from people who are perfect, we can only learn things from people who are imperfect. So, it is time to own who you are so you can be real to others and lead through your faults. This deep but hysterical keynote will leave you feeling introspective about the person you show to others. It will show you how being more authentic actually inspires open communication, forms tighter bonds, and causes members to be more engaged. We need to talk about you before we can talk about us, so let's discuss where you struggle and succeed to make you a more efficient and effective authentic leader for organization.
• Learn the definition and application of "Authentic Leadership."
• Discover the importance of being a leader who is purposeful, empowering, real and moral.
• Recognize the power of your own story in your leadership style.
• Differentiate between being a hero and a role model (role models make and learn from mistakes instead of trying to be seen as flawless heroes).
More Action, Less Title: Empowering leaders to do more
Congratulations on getting a leadership position, high-5s all around! Being a leader in your organization, however, is an action, not just a title. If you're a newly appointed chair who wants to attack your new role or a seasoned brother or sister who wants to leave a meaningful legacy, this session is for you! This session will breathe new life into the act of empowering members by challenging them to do better through a three-part strategy: challenging, motivating and appreciating your peers. Attendees will leave this session with a new strategic plan for how to positively impact members of their organizations by boosting morale and increasing retention. Attendees will also giggle.
• Learn how appreciation leads to increased productivity and retention.
• Learn how to implement PHEAM (Posture, Handshake, Energy, and Attitude, will make you Memorable) to better motivate new members.
• Discover importance of challenging members to give them ownership over the success and/or failure of the group.
Shaking Hands and Kissing Babies: Network like a boss
All students are hearing nowadays is it's more about who you know than what you know when it comes to job searching. While this is very true, we never actually talk about how to engage in networking conversations & miss out opportunites that are right before our eyes. People are getting jobs today because they know somebody who knows somebody. The art of small talk is dying because of social media but decision makers in your future jobs didn't have that growing up though so they still value good old fashion conversations. Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your networks.
• Learn best practices for initiating meaningful conversations to promote memorability
• Recognize the importance of having refined social skills to make conversations less awkward and more productive
• Contrast the difference between introverts and extroverts and how that effects networking
Will they make fun of my sheets?
Stepping on campus as a new student is an emotion-packed time. Am I going to fit in here? Are people going to make fun of my sheets? Is anyone going to date me? How do I study again? Am I the only one who is going to miss my parents? When students are faced with anxiety, they have two options: they can channel that energy towards fear or towards excitement. In this engaging talk, first-year students will be challenged to create their own college experience. As a student who was miserable and homesick during his first year of college, James later got involved on campus, fell in love with his school and went on to become a prominent student leader. In this keynote, James will share the stories of his freshman year, normalizing many of the emotions first-year students have. He will encourage new students to get involved on campus and challenge them to choose their own path in college.
• Realize that feelings of homesickness, feeling alone, and being mentally lost are normal for first-year college students.
• Learn the importance of getting involved quickly at college to increase a sense of ownership and belonging.
• Learn verbal and non-verbal conversation techniques to have more productive first interactions, so that connections can be made more quickly.

Week Two: Formation of a Global Community: Islam in South and Southeast Asia
This week opens a discussion, led by Bruce Lawrence, of how Muslim networks of both merchants and mystics shaped historical developments around the western Indian Ocean, including Africa, Arabia and South Asia. Focusing on the period from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, Lawrence will explore the main strategies used to spread Islam, how it took hold of societies and merged with local cultures. On Tuesday morning, Paul Lavy (University of Hawaiˋi) will explore the influence of Islam on the visual arts of South Asia. On Wednesday morning, Anna Stirr (University of Hawaiˋi) will continue this discussion with a session on the fertile interplay of Islamic and indigenous South Asian traditions of performing arts and music. Eric Tagliacozzo (Cornell) will join the program on Wednesday afternoon to examine the extension of regional interactions into Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on Malaysia and Indonesia, and will follow up on Thursday afternoon with a session focused on the interplay of Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic traditions in Southeast Asia. The week will close with a visual commentary on Tagliacozzo's sessions by Paul Lavy, exploring the dynamic incorporation and adaptation of Islamic themes and aesthetic ideals in the visual arts of Southeast Asia.

The stigma that our society attached to counseling hinders individuals (especially those who need it the most) to seek professional help. People do not want to go to counseling because they are afraid to be labeled as mentally ill or called crazy by others. This fear of being judge impedes healthy recovery.
It's important to highlight that counseling sessions are private and confidential unless your behavior harms yourself or others. In fact, counseling records are protected by law and are separate from academic records. Here are other myths that need to be busted:
Myth #1 Counseling is for the weak and crazy people only.
Admitting that you need help and taking the needed action takes a whole lot of guts and strength. Counseling can be helpful not only for people who are conquering their mental health conditions but also for everyday problems that we all face.
Myth #2 Counselors are like magicians --- they can magically cure all your problems.
Counseling is not a quick fix for all your problems. It's a gradual and in-depth process that may even years to produce change. The counselor needs time to build the relationship and uncover unresolved issues that can be difficult if the client is unwilling to share significant life experiences.
Myth #3 The counselor isn't with me everyday. He/She doesn't know me and cannot help me.
One reason why counseling by unrelated professional is successful is because people who surround you every day such as your friends and family might have biases, attached emotions and other intentions that can affect their judgement. This is why surgeons cannot operate on their relatives.
Myth #4 The counselor cannot understand my problem because he/she doesn't have the same culture and experiences.I can't deny the fact that even if we all live in one country, Singapore has diverse cultures. This is why racial harmony is highly valued. Counselors are trained to be empathic and sensitive to the views, religion and culture of others.
Myth #5 Being a counselor is an easy job.
Counseling is a challenging yet fulfilling job that involves both listening, thinking and observing simultaneously (more of that here: http://sgpsychstuff.blogspot.sg/2013/05/for-therapy-thinker-and-observer.html). It is very tiring to multi-task everything while conceptualizing the case in one's head. Also, counselors will not tell you what to do, but they will guide you to your goals. If you are interested in starting your journey as a counselor, here is the list of schools that offer diploma in counseling: http://sgpsychstuff.blogspot.sg/2012/11/diploma-specialisation.html.
So having known all these, what is counseling?
As a client, counseling is a provision of professional assistance in resolving one's personal or psychological difficulties.
As a professional, counseling involves countless hours of rapport building, listening, comforting and being there for your client in every step of his/her journey towards his/her solving a personal problem or reaching a realistic goal. Counselors shall be non-judgmental, sensitive, and experienced. Also you must keep in mind that no matter how hard you try, you cannot save everybody!

The Only Pirate at the Party
by Lindsey Stirling and Brooke S. Passey
Pub Date: January 12, 2016
It's always fun to learn that a celebrity is LDS, and is *practicing* LDS. Lindsey Stirling is so cute and adorable that learning she was a missionary in New York before her musical career took off makes me feel squishy. If you haven't heard of Lindsey Stirling, you need to head over to YouTube and check out her videos. I'm a sucker for a violinist who has fun with their instrument. I'll wait.
I was in a community theater production of The Passion of Dracula around the time the NBC series Dracula came out, and the cast got a little obsessed with Lindsey Stirling at the time, since she wrote the music used as the theme to the short-lived series. I find her adorable and a lot of fun in addition to being talented enough to dance while playing violin.
Her memoir is great. Her bubbly personality shines through with each chapter. Nothing of great depth for the most part, and no earth-shattering revelations (she's too young for that, anyway), but delightful stories of her childhood with her family and neighbor friends, her musical journey, her mission, her fight with an eating disorder, and various adventures of being a famous musician. This could easily be a great gift for the music-loving teenager in your life.
Lindsey also has some great lines in the book that delighted me. My favorite being, "home is where the cereal is." I love her sense of humor!
She's isn't heavy into bearing her testimony like some LDS members might, but she certainly acknowledges a Heavenly Father who always has an eye on her, and great parents who appear to have raised her right. She fully admits to struggles and foibles she brought on herself, and how her ED affected not just her health but the people around her, too. She also makes a point of talking about her standards and how hard it is to find modest costumes for herself and her dancers, and how much she loves her crew for respecting her standards and keeping an eye on her as well. It's these little details that add up that make me respect her all the more.
Though I can't profess to being a superfan of Lindsey Stirling, I sure do love her energy. And I LOVE celebrity memoirs by people who aren't SUPER famous. They're a little more grounded in reality. This ones holds that up. Even if you aren't so much into her music, I think most LDS women will appreciate reading a book about another LDS woman whose life is a little more fantastical than normal, but still has normal, everyday troubles like the rest of us. It's refreshing. And with a good mix of humor, heartbreak, and hard times, I think this is a memoir a lot of people could enjoy.

Everything in Adele "Deli" Strummer's Baltimore County home illustrates its owner's love of life. Flowering plants spill blossoms from the planters and curtains drawn back from windows invite the sunlight to brighten every room.
Mrs. Strummer said she embraces life partly because it is simply in her nature.
But mainly she's enthusiastic about life because it was taken from her once -- when she was a prisoner in Adolf Hitler's concentration camps during World War II.
"I got my life back when I was liberated," said Mrs. Strummer, 71. "So many times I almost lost it in that hell, that time when that terrible contamination had spread through Europe."

While the wind and rain batters us to bits, here's my version of this timeless classic. There is nothing quite like taking a pot of this from the oven to the table, opening the lid and feeling the hit of herby, rich savoury steam fill the room. A good green salad with plenty of dressing and perhaps some crusty bread if you're making it go along way, is all you need to accompany this.
You need a deepish, cast-iron enamelled (or similar) casserole dish with lid for this. I bring it to the boil on the top of the Aga first and then bake for 1/2hr at about 160 to get it really hot. Then transfer to simmering oven for a few hours at least.
3 slices belly pork (include any bones, fat and rind for flavour), cut into 5 cm pieces
3 garlicky pork sausages (you can use ordinary sausages if necessary with 2 extra cloves of garlic in the cooking pan)
3 x duck/chicken legs (optional)
Roast the duck or chicken legs 'til browned, and set aside.
In a large frying pan, fry the belly pork 'til browned, and set aside.
Fry the sausages 'til browned, cut them into 5 cm pieces and set aside.
I large onion
2 cloves garlic
Tomato puree
1 tin of tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube
Red wine
Black pepper
Fry a large chopped onion in some oil until browned. Add 2 chopped cloves of garlic, a good squirt of tomato puree, a tin of chopped tomatoes, a chicken stock cube, a good glug of red wine, plenty of black pepper and enough water to keep it a thickish sauce.
Put all the meats into this lovely sauce and simmer for 10/15 mins until nicely rich and gooey. Add a little water from time to time to keep it from going too thick and sticking to the pan. Set aside.
2/3 tins cannellini beans
Half a loaf of white bread (not too fresh is easiest)
Thyme, bay and parsley
Open 2 tins of cannellini beans and rinse. You may need another tin if you want it beany.
Take half a loaf of white bread, broken into small pieces and whizz in a grinder to coarse breadcrumbs.
In your casserole put a layer of meat and tomato in the bottom. Then a layer of beans and repeat until it's all used up. Add some water if you think it needs it.
Make a bundle of 2 thyme sprigs, a bay leaf and some parsley by winding some cotton around them (just leave the end loose… it wont' unwind itself too much). Shove this in the centre of the pot.
Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of this and put the lid on.
Cook as above. Many recipes don't use the breadcrumbs, they wait for the beans to go crusty instead and stir them in at least twice through extra long cooking time. And yes this is delicious!! However if you want to get on with other things and not have to worry about all that, the breadcrumb crust works excellently. It should absorb some of the cooking liquid and become crusty with gooey bits around the edge. Truly delicious!!

The room inside my head is crowded. And I mean crowded. I love it, don't get me wrong. But just like in the subway or grocery store, I can't control who talks to me. I've heard of writers that sit down every day and 'decide' what to write. I don't work like that. Or rather, I can't work like that. I've tried. I sit down and say, "I'm going to finish the scene where Ava drops a bombshell on everyone in the barn today." And I sit. And I stare. And Ava is stubborn and won't talk. Nothing gets done.
"Okay, fine," I hiss and scroll down a bit in the file. I'm going to work on Arianna and Claire going to the Massachusetts Asylum for Feeble Minds and Lunatics where they will meet David and get some back story on Elizabeth.
Well, Claire is staring at a tree, designing a painting in her mind and Arianna is filing her nails refusing to look at me. Neither one wants to work today. Neither one understands deadlines, priorities or the fact that people are waiting on them.
So you can imagine the sinking feeling when I receive emails and messages asking "when the next book will be out." And I have no real answer because I don't know when Arianna will be finished preening or when Claire will snap back to reality and join us. I'd like to think I have control over that. After all, I'm the living breathing writer in control of reality. They are just imaginary friends who should simply do what they are told, right? Oh, no.
While the room inside my head is chock full of characters I have created, I can't control who talks to me and when. Which is why I've been known to work on several books at a time. I am able to "book hop" and make progress on something while not missing anything anyone decides to start chattering about. It's chaotic but it sure as hell beats writers block.
The other source of frustration is that I don't always feel like I can be completely honest with readers, which is why I am doing this post. Most people think I am working on the next book and only the next book. I need to clear a few things up so you better understand me. I'd like to be able to share with you all of what I'm doing because it is tremendous fun. However, when I have ventured there in the past I've received emails and comments such as, "But your SUPPOSED to be working on XX." Well, yes, technically XX is the next book in line to be completed. But that doesn't mean that I'm not working on a host of other things at the same time. Things you are missing out on and might even get excited about, if you knew about them. So I'm going to tell you what's going on.
While Purgatory Cove is the next book due out in the series, I am also working on 1931 and a new one that has been bugging me for over a year. (Sayan Knights) I've shushed the characters, asked them politely to wait, yelled at them to wait and until recently, they obliged, popping up now and again just enough to keep the story line fresh in my mind. Until two nights ago, that is. Nicholi from Sayan Knights stood front and center and simply would not shut up. He drowned out all the other characters and I thought it was pretty good so I grabbed my notebook and got it all down. I ended up writing (by hand, oddly enough) 18 pages front and back of what he had to say. And he isn't quite finished. He prefers evenings to talk so I'm thankful for that and I hope to get the rest of what he has to say out tonight so I can go back to Purgatory Cove tomorrow. Of course that's my planning and I have no idea if Elizabeth will cooperate.
Just know this. I am always working on more than one thing at a time. Always. While I was posting progress on 1930 on facebook, I secretly had Drifter in the works as well as Wordbound, (which may never see the kindle light of day) and the long summaries and scene breakdowns for two other books.
While readers feel I am "supposed" to be working on the next book in line and only that book, I don't see things that way. I am "supposed" to be working on whatever project that has characters willing to talk. That's my job. The books will be released in the order promised, have no fear. And while some might argue that working on other books delays the release of what's due next, I disagree. Because I'm working every day with whomever is talking. And if I spend time on Sayan Knights because Elizabeth isn't talking, well, I wouldn't be making much progress on Purgatory Cove, now would I? I am driven to be productive and to sit and argue with stubborn characters is a frustrating time waster.
I am looking forward to sharing bits of everything I have in the works because the readers I have gotten to know personally on Facebook are some of the the best people I've ever met. I have started a Wattpad account and plan on sharing a lot of my other projects there as well as flash fiction and testing new novel ideas and just plain messing around. I am hoping to transfer everything I have down from Nicholi onto the Wattpad account in time for the second newsletter this month. If you haven't signed up to receive the newsletter you can do so here. You can find the Wattpad account here.
Hopefully this blog post will clear up how I work and will decrease the amount of "But you're supposed to be working on..." emails and messages. I look forward to sharing many exciting projects with you. And as always, thank you for reading!!

The Visible and the Invisible: Followed by Working Notes
Northwestern University Press, 1968 - Philosophy - 282 pages
The Visible and the Invisible contains the unfinished manuscript and working notes of the book Merleau-Ponty was writing when he died. The text is devoted to a critical examination of Kantian, Husserlian, Bergsonian, and Sartrean method, followed by the extraordinary "The Intertwining--The Chiasm," that reveals the central pattern of Merleau-Ponty's own thought. The working notes for the book provide the reader with a truly exciting insight into the mind of the philosopher at work as he refines and develops new pivotal concepts.

Athletics Day
1 comment:
What a great sports day. I loved seeing the way people collaborated so well on some of the activities, especially the one where you each had to hold a rope and to balance a ball. I think my favourite was the board that you had to stand on and pedal. That took a lot of concentration and you had to be really determined to get to the end of the track. I had to do lots of reflecting as I went along, trying to work out the right strategy. Thanks for sharing all the great photos.ReplyDelete

KIRKWOOD, Mo. - Sugarfire Smokehouse has beef with another barbecue restaurant in the St. Louis area. Sugarfire is accusing Honey Pit Smokehouse in Kirkwood of stealing pictures of food from its website and posting them on Honey Pit's website.
Sugarfire's lawyer, Albert Watkins, has sent a cease and desist letter to Honey Pit. Watkins says "Like barbecue itself, this has the potential for getting real messy real quick."
There are allegations of fraud in a St. Louis barbecue battle.
The owner of the popular Sugarfire restaurants accuses another restaurant of using photos of Sugarfire's food as its own.
Sugarfire founder Mike Johnson paid for the mouth-watering photos featured on his website, said his attorney, Al Watkins.
When a former Sugarfire worker opened the new Honeypit Smokehouse restaurant in Kirkwood just before the new year, at least a couple of the photos on Honeypit's website looked extremely familiar, Watkins said.
"Honeypit puts on their website photographs of the food of Sugarfire. Any good barbecue aficionado knows no two barbecues are the same. Don't mess with the sanctity of a barbecue master; not in this town," Watkins said.
Side-by-side comparisons of the brisket sandwich on Sugarfire's site and the brisket sandwich on Honeypit's site Thursday showed the photos were of the same sandwich; same for the restaurants' cheeseburgers.
Watkins sent Honeypit's owners a "cease and desist" letter saying, "Sugarfire welcomes the competition, may the best rib win."
The letter also demands Honeypit stop using the photos immediately.
"Agree in writing never to do it again. By the way, you do all that, we're all good, come on by, we'll give you a cheeseburger," Watkins said.
The Sugarfire photos on Honeypit's website had been removed Friday.
One of Honeypit's owners declined an interview with Fox2/KPLR 11 but blamed the problem on the person he hired to create the website.
"The buck stops somewhere. When you own a business, big business or small business, the guy in charge is the guy who sits on the buck. In this case it's tremendously disingenuous to say, 'ehhh, the web guy did it,'" Watkins said.
Honeypit has 15 days to respond in writing or face legal action under Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act, Watkins said.

Quotes About Loan Program Was
If you wanted to create jobs in a way that has minimal effect on the deficit but has government action, the two best things you could do are the infrastructure bank and a simple SBA-like loan guarantee for all building retrofits, where the contractor or the energy-service company guarantees the savings. So that allows the bank to loan money to let a school or a college or a hospital or a museum or a commercial building unencumbered by debt to loan it on terms that are longer, so you can pay it back only from your utility savings. You could create a million jobs doing that.Send Quote
If we wanted a program to help the majority of the population, we'd offer loan guarantees to help poor people get access to reliable cars so that they could have a better shot at getting - and keeping - a well-paying job...A small amount of capital could make a much bigger difference in their lives than extra student loan relief for middle-class college kids would.Send Quote
There is a strange idea aboard, held by all monetary cranks, that credit is something a banker gives to a man. Credit, on the contrary, is something a man already has. He has it, perhaps, because he already has marketable assets of a greater cash value than the loan for which he is asking. Or he has it because his character and past record have earned it. He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan.Send Quote
It's good to go back and look at what other states are doing. For example, Mayo Clinics and the University of Minnesota had a collaborative grant program that we modeled our program after, so we went back to talk to them about the successes of their program. It's been very successful, the state is going back to fund it again, and it's resulted in a great deal of collaboration and specifically patented technology.Send Quote
In his second term, [Ronald] Reagan completed the work of his first term - the rich got really rich, everything was deregulated, advocacy programs were quashed, the Savings and Loan program was trashed, the deficit was tripled, unions were busted, Housing and Urban Developing was in shambles, banks were closing, the military got lots of new toys, the religious right was strong, and AIDS was ignored.Send Quote
It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it 'Jumping the Shark.' From that moment on, the program will simply never be the same.Send Quote
As the Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, I have been briefed since 2003 on a highly classified NSA foreign collection program that targeted Al Qaeda.

PhotoShop is a program I use all the time with my 2D stuff. And that's an extraordinary program - you really can do anything there, and I've never hit my head on the ceiling. The 3D stuff is incredibly complicated, monstrously complicated, but for the things that I want to do, I've found very simple and interesting ways, I hope, of making images without getting tied up too much in the maps and technicalities.Send Quote
The bad consequences of a government program usually don't show up immediately. And the delay may be long enough to hide the connection between the program and its results. So government never has to say it's sorry - never has to take responsibility for ht misery it causes. Instead it can blame everything on personal greed, profit-hungry corporations, and the 'private sector.' And the government's cure for the problems is to impose bigger programs, more regulation and higher taxes.Send Quote
If I run a time-limited test program, I'll never discover whether markets with additional employment truly exist. A solution in the low-wage sector cannot be a limited special program.Send Quote
One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding.Send Quote
I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.Send Quote
Professor Wilkes is best known as the builder and designer of the EDSAC, the first computer with an internally stored program. Built in 1949, the EDSAC used a mercury delay line memory.

The intelligence services would probably be in a better position to make an assessment of the advancement of the Iranian nuclear program than Podhoretz or Ledeen. They don't have access to any specific information. So for them to dismiss it has no great value because they have no authority whatsoever on this issue. For them to push forward with their efforts to get a war started between the U.S. and Iran, you certainly cannot say that Iran does not have a nuclear program. If you say that, then the justification for war has basically been eliminated.Send Quote

Sounds of the 70's
The 1970's keep on intruding, declaring themselves as an important decade. "Pimps, Players and Private Eyes" (Sire), a compilation of tunes from "blaxploitation" movies, attempts to resuscitate the funk and soul sounds of that decade. Produced by Jorge Hinojosa and the rapper Ice-T, the album includes tunes by Bobby Womack, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield. The movies raided include "Superfly," "The Mack," "Cleopatra Jones," "Shaft," "Shaft in Africa" and "Across 110th Street."
"These were really classic movies," said Mr. Hinojosa. "All the movies were notable, except for one or two, and they've all been overlooked. To get the music, I had to go out to used-record stores, and I was paying up to $30 dollars per record. I saw soundtracks from every type of movie except movies with black music in them. I wanted to expose these great songs that are passed over. All these songs are brilliant, great, great records by really important performers like Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, the Impressions, guys that had big careers."
The movies tended to mix race, various forms of gangsterism and love, and the music reflects it, with lots of talk about hard times and heartbreak. But there is also a strange sort of optimism to it; after the gunfire and mayhem have died down, the survivors grit their teeth and keep on going to the sound of backbeat and strings. Period flavor is given by the wails of wah-wah guitar, an occasional sitar and the flat and clunky production values. Dust off the bell-bottoms. The Power of the Tube
Television's power to sell could hardly be made clearer: Nirvana and Garth Brooks were featured recently on the tube, Nirvana on "Saturday Night Live" on Jan. 11 and Mr. Brooks on a Jan. 17 NBC special, and the performers have reaped major dividends. Nirvana's "Nevermind" (Geffen) bounces up from the fourth position on Billboard's charts over Hammer, Michael Jackson and Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks's "Ropin' the Wind" (Capitol) drops to the second spot, but his first two albums, "Garth Brooks" and "No Fences," have started to climb again, with "No Fences" at No. 5, followed by U2's "Achtung, Baby."
"We definitely saw an increase in sales for 'Nevermind' after 'Saturday Night Live,' " said Eddie Gilreath, head of sales for Geffen. "I haven't had the time to figure out the percentage, but the increase in sales was immediate. I think the record was destined to go to No. 1 again but I think the 'Saturday Night Live' exposure gave it momentum. And that sort of momentum keeps on going. There's always a ripple effect. People don't always go to a record store immediately, and sometimes we see sales increase for a month after a good TV appearance."
The most obvious example of television's power to affect pop music in recent years has been the revitalization of Bonnie Raitt's career. When the singer and guitarist's "Nick of Time" album was released in 1989, it did fairly well after good reviews and extensive touring on Ms. Raitt's part. But it really took off after her appearance on the Grammy show and her three Grammys. This year's Grammy Awards, on Feb. 25, will include Mariah Carey, Ms. Raitt, Metallica and Natalie Cole, among others.Continue reading the main story

Product Description
This 2014-2015 16-month calendar showing the impending "signs in the heavens" is available, from Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries. Biltz is the original discoverer of the amazing, historic connection to the blood moon tetrads, showing the significance of blood moons and solar eclipses that dramatically appear on the Jewish feast days.
The exciting features of this 16-month calendar include:
- Coverage of the time period from September 2014 to December 2015
- The signs in the heavens – the actual dates from NASA when eclipses will occur
- Intertwining our civil calendar with the biblical calendar
- Dates of significant biblical events from history
- Personal photos of Israel from yearly tours sponsored by El Shaddai
- Weekly Torah portions with New Testament readings listed
- A full-page write-up explaining the Feasts of the LORD
- Annual biblical holidays and sabbaths highlighted
Biltz's message centers around the fact that the messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled 2,000 years ago, when He came the first time, happened to the very day. He explains how His second coming events will also happen to the very day of the Fall Feasts. Yeshua died for our sins on Passover, Biltz says, was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, was resurrected from death on First Fruits, and then sent the Holy Spirit to indwell believers on the Jewish Feast of Pentecost (Shavuot). If He fulfilled the Spring Feasts to the very day on His first coming, Biltz points out, He will fulfill the Fall Feasts to the very day on His second coming. Biltz also reveals a link between charts of solar and lunar eclipses from NASA's website and Israel's history, the biblical feast days and the signs in the heavens, drawing clear similarities between them and showing how they line up through history.
Editorial Reviews
"This calendar is produced by Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries. Pastor Biltz was the first one [to] discover the Blood Moon Tetrad pattern when he entered Jewish feasts dates into the NASA website. Along with beautiful pictures from Israel you will have important Biblical feast days marked and explained in your calendar. The upcoming blood moons and solar eclipses are also marked. This is the perfect calendar to compliment your study of this important subject as we enter into the season of the Fall Feasts and the Blood Moon Tetrads." – Prophecy News Watch Newsletter
"I have known Mark for four years and have spoken at his church twice in the Tacoma, Washington, area. He has been an avid student and teacher of the Jewish Feasts and their awe-inspiring connections to the Lord's earthly events. Mark says that during this century, the only string of four consecutive blood moons that coincide with God's holy days of Passover in the spring and the autumn's Feast of Tabernacles (also called Sukkoth) occur in 2014 and 2015 on today's Gregorian calendar. He noticed a pattern: There were no astronomical back-to-back blood-red moon events in the 1800s, the 1700s or the 1600s. In the 1500s, there were six, but none of those fell on Passover and Sukkoth. The 2014/2015 events will be the last this century." – Bill Koenig, Watch.org

Alright, here is another life changing recipe... No big deal. As I mentioned, I am off of refined sugar for the summer. I've been pretty good for the most part and haven't been craving things very often. On occasion I will want something a bit sweeter than a cucumber, which is where the fruit crumble and this almond butter fudge come in. This 4 ingredient almond butter fudge is sweetened by the dried dates, which I wasn't a HUGE fan of initially. Once it's all blended in though it actually doesn't taste datey, which I am very happy with. Instead the dates give it a bit of a chewy texture which is also something I am happy with! The only real downside is that it needs to be kept in the freezer until you serve it.
Here it is...
Ingredients (makes approx 12 1.5" x 1.5" squares)
- 1 cup all-natural, unsweetened, unsalted almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (don't decrease this as it will not hold together!)
- 1/2 cup dried dates
- A sprinkle of sea salt
- 2 tbsp shredded (unsweetened) coconut
- Cinnamon
- Process/blend almond butter and dried dates until relatively smooth (if you like bigger chunks of dates, blend less)
- Mix in a bowl with softened (not melted) coconut oil, coconut and cinnamon.
- Line a container/baking dish with plastic wrap and pour in the mixture. Smooth it out.
- Freeze for at least an hour before serving. Keep in freezer until you are ready to eat.
- Lift plastic wrap up and remove the whole thing from the container. Cut into pieces. Enjoy!
- Store the remainder in the freezer

In the back of our minds a hoist was always on the cards for Greaser, HOWEVER, for a space/ an idea that has yet to turn over a coin, the decision to buy one wasn't made lightly. They may be four of us at Greaser but it was the belief, support and trust of our friends (in particular one person) that made it possible; You're always welcome at this house, bro!
Deciding where the hoist would go was a tough one. The most obvious choice was to have it in-line with the roller door (behind the red car, top pic of this post); cars could be driven straight on and backed off without too much fuss - however as the top picture shows, we've moved the work bench and storage shelves into that corner. Which leaves us with two other spots; either the far right corner of the building - in front of the toilets and the fridge; or where the blue sprinter was parked.
In the end, we settled for the blue sprinter's work space. Having the hoist at the most rear right of the shop (in front of the toilets) would have made moving cars in and out a nightmare. This also means moving the two long-term project cars (in the below pic, under car covers) to the front half of the shop, taking up prime workspace. Aesthetically, it's an eye sore and having 2 broken cars can be mentally discouraging when we're trying to stay focused - but more importantly, having them there would mean risking the chances of getting them damaged.
As part of the deal, the company that supplied the hoist also offered installation, so it was super easy, all that's left is for an electrician to come in and extend the 3 phase power from the main switch to the hoist, and we're done!
Started from two car stands, now we here.
