When Frank Maselli was in Rome on a Saturday night three years ago, he happened upon an outdoor concert in the piazza. A handful of singers were belting out opera arias to a piano accompaniment.
"I listened to them and said to myself, 'This would be perfect for our Piazza d'Italia,' " Maselli said, referring to the outdoor plaza in New Orleans between Poydras and Lafayette streets. Designed as a replica of a Roman fountain and public square, the Piazza d'Italia is directly behind the American-Italian Cultural Center, of which Maselli is the chairman.
Three years later, Maselli's vision is about to become a reality. On Friday evening, the AICC, in cooperation with the New Orleans Opera Association and the Loyola University College of Music and Arts, is presenting "Opera in the Piazza" from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Featured during the evening will be four singers from the New Orleans Opera Chorus and two Loyola voice students. New Orleans Opera Executive Director Timothy Todd Simmons will accompany the Opera Chorus singers on piano, and Diana Aidos will accompany the Loyola singers.
Also during the evening, there will be a display of about 10 Ferraris, courtesy of the Ferrari Club of Louisiana, of which one or two will be race cars, according to Maselli. In addition, there will be Italian food (especially pizza), along with Italian wines, beer and various other delicacies.
Admission is $10.
"When I saw that group of singers in Rome, I thought it would be a neat thing to do in New Orleans where we have a large population of Italian-Americans," Maselli said. "We're always trying to do cultural things that are Italian-American-related and make people aware of the contributions we've made here in New Orleans over the years."
Noting that there are roughly 100,000 people with Italian heritage in the greater New Orleans area, Maselli added, "People don't want to forget their heritage. I find that people are still very interested in retaining their Italian identity to an extent. We're trying to celebrate one of the great world cultures, one which helped develop our city."
As the son of the late Joe Maselli, founder of the American-Italian Renaissance Foundation (forerunner of the AICC) who also was a driving force behind the Piazza d'Italia, Frank Maselli is devoted to perpetuating his father's legacy, particularly by promoting public events that heighten awareness of the Italian footprint in New Orleans.
In June 2013, the AICC sponsored a concert at the Civic Theater featuring one of the world's leading authorities on Stradivarius violins, vintage string instruments worth, in some cases, millions of dollars.
Along with current AICC Director Pepper Caruso, Maselli envisions "Opera in the Piazza" as a regularly scheduled event if this first outing proves successful.
Designed by renowned post-modernist architect Charles Moore and opened in 1978, Piazza d'Italia had fallen into neglect and decay within a few years. Restored in 2004, its promoters have been seeking to make more frequent use of the space, and this event is a step in that direction, Maselli said.
Simmons said the singers from the Opera Chorus and Loyola will be singing arias from well-known operas in the Italian repertoire by such composers as Puccini, Verdi and others, as well as some "fun songs that reflect the Italian spirit."
The singers from the Opera Chorus are Kathleen Halm (soprano), Lindsey Piattoly (mezzo-soprano), Tyler Smith (tenor) and Jake Penick (baritone).
From Loyola are Kameron Lopreore (tenor), a May graduate who received the first Italian-American scholarship, and Jade Coates (soprano), who will be a senior in 2014-15.
"I think this is an exciting opportunity to bring opera into the open air," Simmons said. "It's a different level of entertainment, and so I think it's going to be a really fun event, something we haven't done here before."
He added: "Audiences love the Italian repertoire because they're used to hearing it more often. And we have such a strong, thriving Italian community here. A lot of them really support the arts and the opera specifically, and so it's great to do something like this for them."

That would make sense. Technically, an RSA public key is indistinguishable from a private key. A private key may be distinguishable from a public key but not the other way around. All you need, technically, to encrypt or decrypt, is a modulo and an exponent. Any other chinese remainder stuff is completely optional.
So if you load the private key that'll be used for encryption and decryption operations. To decrypt something encrypted with the private key you'd need to load the public key.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Restoration in Winter Park, FL
What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. PRP is rich in growth factors, so when PRP is applied to the scalp it can contribute to hair growth.
How is PRP made?
Platelets for PRP are made from the patient's own blood. It is similar to a patient donating his or her blood before a surgical procedure. This is what the process entails.
- First, blood is withdrawn from the patient into tubes.
- Next, the blood is placed in a centrifuge and is spun around.
- The centrifuge process concentrates the red and white blood cells and platelets in different levels in the tubes. Blood plasma that is rich in platelets is taken out and is readied for the application process.
How is PRP used for hair restoration?
After PRP is made, it is injected into the scalp where the hair is thinning, so it can trigger the body's natural healing instincts.
Research indicates that PRP promotes hair growth by stimulating hair follicle stem cells. The platelet growth factors induce follicle stem cells to shift from a dormant state to an active state, and that starts the process of hair production.
Who are good candidates for PRP for hair restoration?
PRP for hair restoration is best for patients whose hair is starting to thin.
Patients who have active infection on the scalp, diabetes, and are on blood thinning medications are not good candidates for PRP.

This December ruled! I had more work than I could fit into the month- I worked 10-12 hour days every day of the month with only one day off before Christmas Eve (which was spent at the Ellen show for a 12 days of giveaways show taping- told you it ruled!).
I have never been so busy with portraits. December in numbers was; 16 gifts, 26 people, 11 dogs and 2 cats. Although I gained a few pounds and suspended my social life to finish in time, it was entirely worth it! I got to draw really interesting people and pets including; a one-eyed cat, a family dressed in costume for Halloween, many cute pups and a cigar store Indian statue. I am so thankful for all of the clients who allowed me to make drawing pictures my full time job. Not to get all mushy, but it is truly an honor to make something that is intended to be a family keepsake. I got great feedback and hope that everyone who got drawings for the holidays loved them as much I loved making them!
Until I'm able to update the website, new work can be seen on my Facebook page HERE.
...and now, on to Valentine's!

The new Lamar Central development is nearly full following a few recent additions. The mixed-use project at 3800 N. Lamar Blvd. is already home to the corporate headquarters for Austin jeweler Kendra Scott, as well as Westlake Dermatology and Snooze, a breakfast-focused restaurant.
Now, Campagna Napoli and Finley's Barber Shop are joining the tenant mix. Campagna Napoli has signed a five-year lease and will occupy about 1,800 square feet at the development, Highland Resources said.
The menswear store featuring clothing from the high-end Eleventy, Milano 140, Slowear, Theory and Andrea Zorib lines is expected to debut this fall.
The Lamar Central store will be Campagna Napoli's first brick-and-mortar location. Finley's signed a 10-year lease for about 1,200 square feet and will also open this fall. Meanwhile, ShipStation, a local software company, has leased 22,000 square feet on the building's second floor – Lamar Central's last remaining office space.

That's going to happen for real, and Samsung knows it will be doing a great disservice to itself if it should release the Samsung Galaxy S8 without this feature. One other reason why this feature should come with the Samsung Galaxy S8 is because of the disappointment that the Note7 has been known to be.
Samsung obviously doesn't want to waste time before it uses Viv's artificial intelligence know-how, and just as we have stated earlier, the tech and consumer electronics maker have revealed that it will be releasing the Galaxy S8 with Artificial Intelligence as one of its standout features.
The company didn't give in-depth clues as to what purpose this feature will serve, but one we know quite well is that the AI assistant will be helping developers attach and upload services to the AI's functionality. That comes as a pretty cool one since you will be able to bend the AI assistant to suit you, what you want, and what satisfactorily serves your needs.

Advertise with South Jersey Sports League!
SJSL Sponsorship Philosophy
The basic idea behind the South Jersey Sports League Sponsorship and our advertising is to use and promote local area businesses to providing a boost to the economy in the local area.
Through non-competitive sports, we can bring back the sense of enjoyment that we experienced as children, and use our collaborative voices to change our community for the better.
Sponsors can use this organization to directly reach the local community in a way that cant be done through any other medium
Our sponsors join with the understanding that the SJSL uses local area businesses to provide and serve all of our business needs. One of the worst things about our area is that when the summer season ends, many local businesses fall an hard financial times. There are tons of seasonal businesses that close shop for the season due to the fact that they cannot generate enough revenue to make operating a reality. But even after the season ends, the people who are here are the ones who pay tazes, work the jobs and own the businesses that keep the shore running all off season.
But there are plenty of businesses that find it difficult to find a direct way to appeal to the people who live heard year round. These are the people in the supermarket, the people whose kids go to the same school as yours, the people who work in the same building as you. We are a community of people who are becoming more and more of just on an online group in the sense that we rarely have the opportunity to meet and interact with the very people who financially make our businesses work!
At the SJSL we offer a unique opportunity to local businesses in the way that we can market and promote them. Almost 100% of our participants come from the local area, so the SJSL offers a unique opportunity in the sense that our membership are the people who shop and spend right here in our area every day!
Sponsorship Plus and Perks
We offer businesses an opportunity to appeal to people in the local community, thereby giving them the opportunity to interact with their daily customers on almost an individual basis. By using community businesses for our business needs, we are taking the money that is generated by the league by members and sponsors and keeping local and working in our community. There may be cheaper or less expensive ways to maintain our operating costs and production and financial needs, but we believe it is important for us to be a source of positive change in our local area. We like the fact the we only use community businesses because we feel that it serves to improve the community as a whole.
With each sponsorship comes the option of hosting a team, as well as free memberships at all four of our sponsor levels, so that as a sponsor you will directly have the opportunity to meet and interact with the public you are trying to reach. Regardless of your length of time in business or the size of your company; we offer every business the opportunity to advertise and form a sponsorship with us. Whether you have 1 or 1,000 employees, every owner and advertiser wants to see their business succeed.
While on the topic, while our larger businesses obviously help us with the financial side of the league, we like to cater to smaller businesses. We offer special and unique opportunities for small businesses advertising and strive to work with smaller companies to meet their advertising costs and needs.
We Are One Big Community of Individuals
We live in such a small community that it seems almost odd to me that more people don't know each other. Many people have friendships that stretch across the islands here and to the mainland. But while the quality is there, the quantity is sometimes lacking. One of the toughest things is to keep adding to that base of friends once we hit our early twenties. People are becoming more and more isolated due to things like work, television, and the internet.
One of the great things about sports is that it brings people together. Sports and activities have a way of bonding people together that few other things do. Maybe its the idea of people working towards a common goal, or just the fact that there are other people that you know who are there to back you up and work with you to accomplish things.
I worked in sales for over ten years, and one thing I realized is that its all about the friendships and relationships that you make along the way. I have been lucky enough to have worked with an organization when I lived in Delaware called the Delaware Sports League. Their owners and members promote a sense of betterment in their community through their organization. When my family and I moved here, I felt that a league like the one I had been a part of in Delaware could flourish and really make a difference in our community here, so I decided to start one.
Even though I have started the league, the South Jersey Sports League belongs to its members. This League has the potential to do great things, but it comes down to the fact that this league will only be as successful as our members make it!
The Growth Potential of South Jersey Sports League:
We want our concept to be open to all of the adults in South Jersey that want to get exercise, meet people, and have fun. Our goal is to grow to all of Cape May county by the end of 2013, and hopefully extend to Atlantic County by the end of 2015.
By Spring of 2012, the league has already approximately tripled within the first year alone!
It is through the work of our sponsors and members alike that can make this astonishing growth possible. In July of 2012, The SJSL will be opening its newest branch in North Wildwood and begin offering year round sports there as well as in Ocean City.
Sponsorship in SJSL allows a unique element of being able to meet and socialize with your target demographic on a weekly basis without it being all about a sale. It will allow you to get to know them and perhaps even understand them a little better so you can best meet their needs.
Some businesses choose to be active partners in our league fielding a team and participating on a weekly basis. Other sponsors simply want their name associated with a league with such success in the local area, and choose to let their logo's and the advertising on the website do the job for them. The great part is that however you market, we have plans and packages that accommodate both types of business!
The SJSL and Networking
Since we are a community, we believe at the SJSL that we have a responsibility to get to know not only the other businesses in the area, but the owners and the people behind them. We are fortunate to live in community primarily supported by smaller independent businesses. Our sponsors are the people and businesses we find ourselves using every day. The pizza place down the street, the surf shop on the island, the bar on the mainland are all primarily smaller businesses with 2 locations or fewer. The SJSL provides a unique opportunity for these businesses to reach new customers in their service area as well as reach across the water.
Here are some great facts about our sponsorship program:
1. Exclusivity - We limit the companies that we will accept as sponsors. Each sponsor offers a specific product or experience. Once you have registered as a sponsor, we will not accept a sponsorship from another group or organization that provides similar products or experiences
2. Since we use ONLY local area businesses for our needs, sponsorship money stays in our community. Even though the prices may be higher for services or equipment than what may be available from a national market or chain, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to the community as a way of showing thanks for their success. Sponsorship money stays right here in our community working to improve it.
3. We intend to offer Networking Events such as "Day at the Beach" and "Deck Party" to allow sponsors the opportunity to meet with other like minded business people who shared and realize the importance and power of a league like SJSL. This gives owner and proprietors the opportunity to develop other working relationships outside the league.
4. We are open to work with you to help you with your businesses needs and ideas. We love that fact that businesses have shown the commitment to helping us, and as we grow, we want to see them do the same. If you have ideas or events you think could benefit from our help, please don't hesitate to contact us.
I want the SJSL to promote a sense of "business casual". By that I mean that I want people to get to know each other the way we are when we are not "on the job". Whether it is a suit, a tie, a polo, heels, whatever you take off when you get home, when you've changed in what you feel comfortable in wearing around the house; that's what I want the SJSL to be like. I want it to be like a pair of good socks. I feel more comfortable in shirts and a t-shirt. I own suits and ties, but underneath it; I'm the guy who wears sandals year round whenever I can. There are more of us out there than we realize, especially in a place like here.
We will work each organization on an individual basis to find out the level of participation they are comfortable with in the SJSL. We have the flexibility to work with all budgets and incomes, and accommodate both small and large businesses.
If you like the ideas and the concepts you've read, why not contact us and find out more?
I promise, it can't hurt.

Sept, 2017: As you may have noticed from our Swahili street food guide, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam on Tanzania's coast got us pretty excited about food. It's not just that we discovered some freakin' amazing food, it's also that we were eating in some pretty amazing spots. Whether it was digging our toes into the white sand of Nungwi beach while feasting on a fragrantly delicious fish curry; or tucking into delicate little fish cakes while listening to the muezzin's final call to prayer across the rooftops of Zanzibar's Stone Town; all our senses were treated to a bit of a feast on Tanzania's coast. Here is our foodies guide to Zanzibar restaurants and Dar es Salaam good eating.
Zanzibar restaurants and good eating
Tea House, Stone Town, Fri – Wed from 6pm for sundowners and 7pm for dinner (closed Thurs), reservations required
Perched atop the Emerson Spice boutique hotel, Tea House was a bit of a splurge dinner for Fi's birthday. But, at USD40/head for a five course set menu degustation (everyone eats the same menu, dietary requirements excluded) and sundowner cocktail, it's spurge which isn't exactly going to break the bank. Tea House guests are always invited for a sundowner cocktail from 6pm. With sundowner in hand, looking out over the rooftops of Stone Town to the twinkling Indian Ocean beyond was amazing. We started with the best fish cakes I've ever head, wrapped in spinach and served with a delicate turmeric sauce. Mains came out as a series of smaller dishes on a large sharing platter with highlights including panfried snapper with harissa and rose and a rich and fruity braise of goat. While all the feasting is going on a waiter comes out and gives you the low down on the food you're eating and the traditions which sit behind it. That combined with the food, the view and a band of local artists made for an epicly good night.
Baraka Restaurant, Nungwi, open daily for lunch and dinner
We had good intentions of trying as many of Nungwi's beach side restaurants as possible but the fish curry at Baraka kept bringing us back. Juicy fish in a lightly spiced and fragrant tomato base served with a choice of roti or rice was absolutely outstanding. They also had a range of squeaky fresh looking seafood which you could order grilled to your liking. While the food is definitely a major reason for coming to Baraka, it's position right on the beach looking west across the turquoise water is undoubtably another. Come for a sundowner, wiggle your toes in the sand with a frosty beer or fresh passionfruit juice (vodka optional), and then feast till your heart's content. YYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Zanzibar Coffee House, Stone Town, open daily 8:30am – 6pm
While not strictly about eating, Zanzibar Coffee House is an amazing spot to put the feet up with a quality coffee and soak up the Stone Town vibe. We initially sat at a little table downstairs but then realised there was a lovely terrace upstairs with sweeping views over the city's tin rooftops. In hindsight, while the coffee is definitely good, I think it's the combination of drinking that coffee while enjoying the rooftop views which made Zanzibar coffee house so special. Coffees include all your usual espresso based favourites, plus they have a range of teas and a full food menu.
Kibakuli, Stone Town, open daily 7:30am – 9pm
Kibakuli is a rough around the edges local's joint just around the corner from Zanzibar Coffee House. We were attracted by a menu featuring lots of exotic sounding things we had never heard of but mainly the steady stream of locals coming and going. You can find lots of the breakfast treats mentioned in our Swahili Street Food blog but the thing that really tickled us was the Urojo. Tangy with tamarind, this tasty soup got loaded up with potato cakes, meat skewers, koftas and cassava chips. It was hearty and delicious and made even more so by the laughs to be had with all the locals as you try and navigate the menu / cabinet stuffed with fried goodies
Darajani night market, Stone Town, nightly from sundown
Forget about the touristy market on the water side of town, if you're looking for super cheap, super tasty, super local treats at night in Zanzibar's Stone Town, you need to head to the Darajani night market. Situated across the road from the Darajani (otherwise known as Estella) market building, this awesome night market kicks off each evening and is full of great food. Highlight for us was the Zanzibar pizza but there were plenty of other treats to be had including ugali (corn meal based dough) and stew, braised octopus, barbecue chicken or just big fat chunks of juicy fresh watermelon. Come for the food but stay for the people watching and amazingly friendly locals!
Street food, sidewalks everywhere at all hours of every day
While Zanzibar undoubtably has some great restaurants and cafes, some of our favourite dining came from the street food. Whether it was a little old lady sitting in her doorway selling samosa or a teenager grilling small kebabs of spiced meat (mishkaki), there is so much good food available on Zanzibar's street side. Don't be afraid of sticking your nose into whatever is on offer as most often this is where we find you get to experience the real local food. Check out our Swahili food blog for other examples of awesome street food to keep an eye out for.

Dar es Salaam restaurants and good eating
Mamboz Corner Barbecue, Wed – Mon 6pm – 12:30am (closed tues)
Run by third generation Indian immigrants, Mamboz Corner BBQ combines Indian, Swahili and Chinese flavours to deliver lip-smacking barbecue goodness. Think charcoal fired BBQ's filled with grilling chickens marinated in a variety of fragrant deliciousness, kebabs of goat meat or juicy chunks of grilled paneer. My personal favourite was a peppery, garlic infused, sticky set of goat ribs. The food is outstanding. Probably worth noting that Mamboz is a dry cafe so don't expect a frosty beer to go with your barbecue chicken.
Summy's Barbecue Centre, Tues – Sun 10am – midnight
Just around the corner from Mamboz is a 20m length of footpath jam packed with a street side smorgasbord of various different south Asian treats. While the enormous menu can be slightly off putting we had the best dosa (rice flour pancake from Southern India) since leaving India and some amazing dahi puri stuffed with potato, fresh coriander, tangy tamarind and a drizzle of yoghurt. So good.
Mzizima Fish Market, open daily 9am – 5pm
Just around the corner from the Kigamboni ferry terminal in Dar is a series of seafood stands which merge into the sprawling Mzizima Fish Market. We discovered this seafood lovers paradise after wandering off the ferry on our way to an afternoon exploring the city. Very quickly we found ourselves tempted by the various stalls selling braised octopus, fried fish, fresh prawns and little fish croquettes. Everything was cheap and chips, fresh and delicious. As we walked further from the stalls and into the market proper we couldn't help but get excited by all the amazing produce on offer; huge snappers getting filleted, giant prawns being packed away on ice or squid being weighed up under the eagle eye of a prospective buyer. Walking further we found ourselves amid the fishing boats themselves where families squatted around pots of simmering soups or mildly drunk men playing animated games of dominoes. Even if not eating, the Mzizima fish market and surrounding stalls is a feast for the senses definitely worth checking out.
Miwa Sugar Cane Juice, open daily 8:30am – 8pm
We were suffering from mild dehydration when we stumbled upon Miwa on Libya street in the older part of Dar. A few local lads were pumping out a steady stream of glasses of fresh sugar cane juice and damn was it awesome. Normally we're not that excited about sugar cane juice but when it's icey cold and spiked with a little fresh ginger it really is a treat.

Waupaca woman charged with battery
Sharon M. Topping, 58, Waupaca, was charged with felony strangulation, misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct.
On Tuesday, Dec. 24, Waupaca Police Officer Nicole Hahn was dispatched to Whistling Pines on County Road QQ in response to a complaint that a resident there attacked the building manager.
Hahn met with the manager, who said Topping had lived at the facility for about a year. She said Topping had attacked an employee on two prior occasions, but the incidents were minor and were not pursued.
According to the criminal complaint, the building manager told Topping to return a present she had picked up from beneath a Christmas tree. Topping allegedly responded by hitting the building manager several times, grabbing her by the neck and choking her.
Topping is being held in custody on a $500 cash bond.

Select Citywalk – Where everybody walks
In fact, the place is a set of three malls built adjacently. However, being built the earliest and attracting the most number of people, the name "Citywalk" umbrellas this cluster of three malls – Select Citywalk, Metropolitan and DLF – in itself.
Moving on, strangely, Citywalk has always been one of the few places in Delhi that has brought peacefulness in my head. Yes, sounds definitely peculiar; especially since I'm talking about a spot that is relished by shopaholics, a hotspot for friends to meet up and play merry, and a sanctuary where birds are seen in a tantalizing attire of miniskirts and minitops. Yet, there's been a definite atmosphere, which to date I'm still unfamiliar with, that gets me magnetized to the place.
It is undoubtedly a mall which is, by definition, upscale, classy and restores its quaintness despite shopaholics flooding the place. And it doesn't seem devoid of any development. 7 months down the lane, which I hoped would seem like a lifetime, there's been a load of advancement; and when I say advancement, I'm not making this piece familiarize with the socio-economic strata or the rich/poor ratios of bar graphs and statistics, although one can argue on it. I totally speak on what I observed.
A group of multiple fountains directed inwardly to produce amazingly shaped streams of water have opened in front of Citywalk, since summers have kicked in, of which, I do not intend to talk (or fret) anymore.
Things have shaken up with the DLF mall having been completely built. And to add to its already charming backdrop, it now accommodates The Great Kebab Factory and The Big Chill! Supported majorly by vacant gaps in between stores and a partial emptiness lingering in its corridors the last time I saw it, the DLF mall hardly attracted a crowd. In spite of its food court hosting brands of Mc Donald's, Subway and Tikka Town, and the undisputed Hard Rock Cafe (where by the way I spent three and a half hours last year watching Delhi being assailed by Hyderabad in the IPL semi final), there was much more DLF had to achieve. As it turns out, that "much more" came in, swirled its magic wand and produced dazzles of incredibility.
The Costa Coffee is right at the centre, which makes it a "part of the mall" rather than being placed in a corner and standing elusive to the buzz. Two new artistic inclusions – a painting sale on the ground floor, and the Tantric tee shirt store – give it the artistic touch. I'd recommend a purchase from Tantric if you enjoy wordplay, ON YOUR TEE SHIRT; here's a specimen – a tee shirt that had an illustration of Taj Mahal, with the accompanying caption, "Via Agra: the greatest male erection for a woman." Moral: Think and purchase if your correspondence address matches with that of your parents'.
Clearly out of context, but I couldn't resist stepping out of the store whilst checking out the tee shirts to listen to Amy Lee's (whose name by the name is shared by my Irish flatmate too) track "Call me when you're sober" playing in the corridor. Yeah, I got incredible ears.
An elegant, sensuously looking spa at the top floor ups the magic to another level. Predominantly illuminated by lights submerged under water bowls that produces a quintessential atmosphere relaxation, it seems to be set apart from titter and tatter of heels, weighty shopping bags and upscale purchases.
Out of all, I particularly liked the montage designed on the outside of its walls. Set on a red background, it seemed like a collage of every brand they were hosting.

Welcome to another Tuesday Tale. This week's prompt word is "fire" so I thought I'd treat all of you to a tidbit from the new Riley McCabe novel still in the Work in Progress stage. Hope you enjoy. To read other authors and their stories in the Tuesday Tales Blog Hop, be sure to return here.
by E. A. Irwin
The aroma of caramel bloomed in my head. Creamy. Sweet. The rich flavor flowed across my tongue, waves of decadence filled my mouth with distinctive pleasure as I savored the thrill-induced taste.
The caramel warmed, releasing ribbons of tantalizing temptation to begin their slide down my throat each time I swallowed. I craved more. Sucked harder. Needed the decadence to move faster than the stingy trickles coating my throat with sporadic stickiness. The caramel grew hot, burning the delicate lining of my esophagus as it seared toward my stomach with liquid fire. The sounds of screaming replaced the fragrant scent of silken seduction in my head. I grabbed my throat as the molten ribbons turned cold, forcing them to coagulate into hardened bands building a dam in my throat instead of the delicate streamers of satisfaction whetting my appetite.
The dam became more. Solid. Unmoving. Impenetrable. My hands clawed my neck unable to dislodge the confectionary lump. Gasping for non-existent air, I clawed my flesh, trying to puncture a hole through which I could breathe. My eyelids flew open, a wall of fathomless black pressed tightly against my sight. Blind and suffocating, my hands searched the solidity of space surrounding me, my ears registering the onslaught of squishing in accelerating fluid decibels as the noise rushed through them like a locomotive careening toward the cliff's edge as its brakes refused stopping.
Heat engulfed my body as if a blanket of live coals wrapped me in a fiery embrace. Sweat exploded from my core, lying atop the smoldering flesh, adding to the unrelenting heat of an oil-spill fire spreading through a tropical swamp. The screaming continued in my mind as the inability to breathe through the caramel wall increased. Frantically, I fought the air as if I could rend the universe with my fingernails.
"Madeline …"
A sliver of a whisper glanced off my brain.
"Madeline …"
An arctic-blown shiver ran down the length of my spine, chilling me to the bone despite the feeling of flames licking along my skin in relentless pursuit of the unknown dwelling within me. A guttural groan escape between clenched teeth as the black, the caramel, and the scorching fire coalesced into a horror-filled moment I was doomed to never escape.

Still working like a demon at my "real" job. At least the workload is down to only 50 hours a week instead of a whopping 60 hours. Not enough time to have a life at this point, but then again I don't have a life so what's the big deal, right? *laughing at the absurdity of life and my place in it*
Insanity fills my days, insomnia my nights. Tough going from work to sleep to work with not much in between except a bit of tea and chocolate to make me happy. The cycle is beginning to take its toll, this year even harder than last due to stuff in my personal life creating its own cyclic hell. I digress.
Lots of thoughts about the Shamrock and Riley series. Both are battling for first place and at this point the game's afoot for who will survive the mental battle. I love both series and am having difficulty choosing what to do first. I know, I know, I said I was writing Shamrocks now. My brain is divided, why can't each portion take over and write two separate books siumtaneously? Brain is revolting at that thought. Silly brain.
Is patience really a virtue? Riley and Quinn think not, especially since I've been on the fence about their fates. But I just want to do this the right way and rock the world with them because I want to be sure I have their best interests at heart, along with what's left of my heart.
A lot of characters are talking simultaneously in my head about what they want and how they want to play on the stage. Braedon's standing in a corner eyeing me and waiting for a misstep. Quinn's swinging a sword as only she knows how to do. Riley's pacing, her footsteps like a metronome in place of my heart. Peter's dancing and wow, do I love to see him dance, but that fantasy isn't getting the writing done.
So I suppose I'm going to read more on both series this weekend now that I have a break in my schedule and allow my characters to renew my faith in their stories. Or apologize to them for my neglect. Either way something will happen for the Shamrock and Riley series. Or a breakdown will occur.
Have tried loading more music to the site without luck. Too much effort today so I'm off to sleep for a bit while I can.
Ta for now. Love you all.

I've been away for a long time due to illness, surgery and working 50 to 60 hours a week for the past five months while trying to cope with recouperating. Often it's a losing battle and unfortunately something has to live in the backseat or in the trunk of my car in this case. But I am working on the Shamrock Series while slowly doing research on the new Riley novel. Anyone want to volunteer as a researcher for a poor tired Irish lass?
I'm in the process of writing a page about how the Shamrock and Riley series came about and how the characters and stories will eventually intertwine like fantastic Irish knotwork.
I love all my characters - Quinn, Peter and Gerard ... Riley, Braedon and Andrew (who is going to get a much larger role in the new book.) I have great plans for Zander in the Riley series (can't wait to get that story written) as well as introducing some new characters. Those who have read the beginning of the Shamrock series fell in love with Peter, and I can't really blame them because everyone needs and wants a Peter in their life. Just remember, Peter always comes back to me - he knows who loves him most.
Riley has been the most patient because she knows I want that story to rock for her. So she's willing to wait until I can get my head back in the game with her and throw caution to the wind and let her finally do what she does best. Quinn has become restless waiting for me to come back to my first love of the Shamrocks, so she's getting the work done from me now.
That's it for the moment. Sleep calls. Tomorrow is another ten hour day with no hope of artistic goals. Such is the life of a poor writer.
I'll udate you later regarding my health in another post.
Love you all.

Myth to Life: The Rise of Riley McCabe - At Death's Door
by P. A. Matthews
Braedon Carlisle is a handsome and, some might say, beautiful man or is he? Braedon is definitely not what he appears to be on the outside and the secret of whom and what he is and his unique and unusual way of life will change anyone who comes in contact with him. Braedon is not human and must find shelter during the day in order to survive. He is a vampire and his flock or children are his to protect and care for. Riley McCabe is the one person who he loves and will always protect. But, her secret life is just as unusual and if known to others would cause them to fear her and more. Spending time together and realizing that they need to be apart in order to sort out their feelings, Riley leaves his estate in England and returns home to Scotland. Before she has a chance to really decide what she wants to do, he reenters her life and she is enveloped back into a world filled with the supernatural and more. Riley has psychic powers that Braedon calls upon her to use in order to find out how someone close to him was killed. Sloan, as close to him as Riley, has disappeared or might be dead. He brings Riley back to where he was kidnapped in order to find out what happened and possibly, why. Riley agrees to use her powers and experiences the events of Sloan's death firsthand not realizing exactly what this would do to her and what the realities would be.
The reader becomes totally immersed in the events as if you are really there and experiencing the pain, agony and more that Riley experiences when she sees Sloan?s killer and experiences his death as if it is happening to her. Along with Braedon, his man friend Quinlan and one of his children or flock Desmond are there to protect both Braedon and Riley or are they? With Quinlan?s help and the promise of Braedon's protection the events that unfold will send the reader into a world that is terrifying, dangerous, and unsettling. Riley's secret as to whom and what she really is and what part she really plays in the death of Sloan are revealed at the very end of this book on the very last page. The author leaves the reader unsure as to what will really happen to any of the characters. Motive for murder is often revenge. Riley sees an old adversary in one of her visions and realizes that it is something from her past that has caused these events in what seems like her present and will definitely play a part in her future. I really enjoyed reading Myth to Life: The Rise of Riley McCabe and hope that the author will write a sequel. I want to know what will happen to Braedon and Riley and if they have a future in either one of their worlds. I want to know if her adversary will confront her and what will be the final outcome. I would highly recommend this book to a friend.
This review is wonderful and bittersweet. After requesting the review in January of 2009, my hopes of receiving a review seemed improbable since sites don't guarantee they will review your work. I decided I would take the request off my Outlook task list and close the book on this forever.
Prior to all this happening, I had also decided to terminate my contract with Mystic Moon Press for many reasons, but wanted to wait for "Blood Betrayal" to come out because there were people who wanted to read it. But I had finally decided if I was never going to be published again, I was satisfied with my decision to leave Mystic Moon Press.
Most of you know I became seriously ill in January, so dealing with termination of my contract as well as all the other inconveniences life throws at us got shoved to the back burner until I could physically deal with everything. Then the series took off at Fictionwise eBooks and I related all the great things happening there.
I decided it was time to terminate with Mystic Moon, then I received the wonderful review from Manic Readers the day after I closed the Outlook task. How is that for coincidence and a confidence booster? While in the process of writing my letter to Mystic Moon Press all hell broke loose and everything became a moot point.
Mystic Moon Press had scammed its authors, not paid them, took the money and denied culpability. The entire staff resigned. All the authors terminated their contracts. The owner remained silent throughout all of the turmoil and still remains silent.
Happily, though saddened for everyone involved except the owner and her cohorts, I can report the authors did accomplish something it would have taken attorneys months to fix. Just from last week Mystic Moon Press is out of business (until the owner changes names and starts scamming again) and the site has been taken down. Fictionwise no longer has the publisher listed and all the author?s books have been removed. Mobipocket is following suit. Hopefully, Amazon.com will bring up the rear in doing right by the authors but at least the "buy at" links have been disabled. There are so many affiliated sites and subsidiaries of these carriers that it may be some time before all works issued from Mystic Moon Press never exist.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my writing career and especially with my series "Myth to Life: The Rise of Riley McCabe." I have always said I cannot do any of this without you, nor did I wish to. Through you Riley has been able to have her voice heard and has proven what she has to say is interesting. But do not fear Riley McCabe is not dead. I am currently writing the first fill length novel in Riley's series (something I had planned all along) and can't wait to share more of her life with those interested reading, which I hope is everyone! Sorry, a little self-promotion there.
After the dust settles on this, and I am assured all my rights are back in my hot little hands, I look forward to picking up the manuscript once again and settling old scores with Riley's ancient and new foes. Who knows what evil lurks out there for Riley to encounter? I do!
Thanks again for all your support. Riley and I have had a rough several months, but thither onward, mon amis, we?re out of the gate and not turning back.
I'm carrying my sword high and running full force toward a new day.
P. A. Matthews

A message from you
God has led me here to do what I have always wanted to do. Help those who are in need. Since I can't be there to help the children in Asia, I have a chance to start a campaign to raise funds, so that these children can be taken off the streets, to be taken care of, receive food, shelter and most importantly to learn the Word of God.
It has always been in my heart to help others and those in need. Hearing about these children I knew this was an opportunity for me to help where it is really needed.
Please help me to help these children. (no amount is too small or too big!)
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
Proverbs 22:9
Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
Give a safe haven for vulnerable children
Many cities in Asia are rife with children who live alone on the streets. These children are vulnerable to kidnappers who sell them into bonded labor and the sex trade. Those who avoid kidnappers fall into gangs, drugs, and alcoholism. They know only distrust and pain; every day is a struggle to survive.
Your donation supports the ministry of GFA's street children homes. These homes provide the children with shelter, education, and food, as well as a message of Christ's love.
You can change these little lives forever.
About Gospel for Asia
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: seeing communities in Asia discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we've found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.

United were relegated from the Barclays Premier League on the final day of the season as Tevez fired the Hammers to safety.
A Premier League commission ruled that the Argentina striker, as well as compatriot Javier Mascherano, were signed with third-party influence and fined the Hammers £5.5million but United wanted the panel to order a new disciplinary commission to review the decision.

Shotgun Sports
Link below.
Good shooting! Is there a place to look up the scores for the state shoot online?
Shot a 94 today. Very good score but not good enough to me more than a "good shooting". Once again 24's on 3 traps. Opened by dropping my 1st target and 2 more on the 1st trap. 1 more and I may have made a shootoff. Another year of the State Shoot in the books. A success on many levels.
Tomorrow is the big day. 100 targets for the Handicap Championship. Finished strong today on final hundred of singles with a 97. Had 6-24's of 8 traps. Feeling good heading into tomorrow. Weather looks to be hot and calm.
You can join at the shoot you attend. Membership year is Sept 1-Aug 31. $20 for ATA and $10 for WTA annual dues.
You would start at the 20 yard line. You would be placed in classes depending on your league/practice scores for both singles and doubles.
ATA shoots typically have 300 targets offered. 100 each of singles, handicap, and doubles. Shoot any or all. Your choice.
I am thinking about joining ata this coming year. How does it all work? I have never shot ata before. What classes and yardage would I start at? How do the shoots differ from other weekend shoots that non ata clubs put on? Any info is greatly appreciated.
Looked for you yesterday. This explains why I didn't find you. Good Luck! Had a bad trap in singles and caps yesterday but shot ok. Today is another day.
Well Tm, you're hitting them good enough to take 2nd place because I head to Rome tomorrow and plan to hit them harder than that. In my last 200 16's spread over 2 afternoons I had a 197 including a run of 150 straight.
FYI, they moved my booth down 4-5 traps I guess since the new building is going up where we used to be. See ya there!!
Good luck Tim!
Reminder..... Wern Valley is having it's Great Cancer Shootout July 28th. I have been going for the past 5 years and I have watched it grow every year. They will probably have 3 sporting clay courses open, along with some side matches and don't forget about the Prairieville Desperados will be set up teaching people how to quick draw shoot. Awesome food, prizes, drink, raffles and fireworks at the end of the night.
Most importantly.... Wern Valley has raised over $511,297 with these events. Come out and help that number grow. As a cancer survivor myself, I'll be there and I'd love to catch up with some of you while we are out shooting.

Installation FAQ
With certain products we offer an installation service, so long as you are within the postcode area as defined on the delivery page. To ensure that you receive the best of service, with care for your product, all installations are undertaken by experienced operatives who are familiar with the handling and construction of our products. All timber buildings whether pre-glazed or glazed upon site, have their glass or Perspex fitted in a 'dry' format, therefore without putty or sealants.
Where an installation service is requested, the proposed item location should be firm and level, being of a paved or concrete base construction of no less than the plan size of the building itself. An appropriately solid foundation will support and increase the lifespan of your building. Upon smaller timber buildings, the use of 3″x3″ (75 x 75mm) pressure treated timber floor bearers at 18″ to 2′ centres upon solid, level ground may be satisfactory, but this means of support should not be considered equal to a good base.
The location for the installation should have good and unrestricted access, providing clear external pedestrian access (not height or turn limited) to allow the transfer of large sections. Ensure unobstructed access is provided all around the proposed site, no trees or branches should be overhanging the working space. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure full access is available for the building sections, so to avoid any abortive delivery or erection changes, therefore please check the access available. If you have any access doubts or concerns, please contact us prior to order for advice.

This is a sampling of people who have worked with Sandra:
"Sandra is a compassionate and skilled coach who offers valuable insights that get to the heart of the matter. I worked with her during a career transition and she was extremely encouraging and offered many suggestions that helped me broaden my horizons. She was an indispensable partner during this time." -MM
Sandra and I worked together when she was leading the UK real estate team at Gap through a period of unprecedented growth. I was at the beginning of my career in real estate and I learnt many things about how one should handle themselves from Sandra, which I still hold dear today, in particular, integrity and attention to detail. I recall well how she set the strategy at Gap and then focused on how to deliver on this. Sandra led the team with passion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandra. In fact, any team with her valuable insight and experience can't fail to benefit and learn. -JE
"I had business coaching with Sandra Bevins Hughes for a few months. I found it very helpful for improving my focus on my business model. I provide elite metabolic training and diet counseling for a handful of clients. Although each client has his/her individual program, every one of them commented to me on how my business had changed in subtle, positive ways after (what turned out to be) my first two months of consultations with Sandra." -ES
"I needed help to align and accomplish my goals and Sandra has helped me to celebrate the things that I have accomplished and reminds me of how I align with my values. This gives me the confidence I need as I work through my transition of moving to different state and starting a new career. Sandra's support has been invaluable to me." -BM
"Sandra has a 360 degree view and considers the impact the of actions on others. She understands how to deploy the talents of a team. She is talented, trustworthy and a great advisor. She helps create results." -MF
"Sandra is very good at asking lots of questions and guiding people to explore different options. She helps individuals to really think about what they want to do and she's great at helping them be able to see things from multiple perspectives and choose the one that resonates with them. I've discovered a lot about myself during my sessions with Sandra. She's helped me and she could help you, too! I would highly recommend Sandra." -AJ
"I appreciated Sandra's strong organizational skills, attention to detail and follow up. She was always looking to provide value while at the same time learning more about the business. She has valuable lessons to share on the international market. She will be an valuable asset to any organization." -AB
"The work that I started with Sandra has continued even though we are no longer working together. My path made quite a sharp change for the positive from her support even though I didn't realize at the time I needed help. I continue to thank my friend for the birthday gift of Sandra's services." -KT
"Sandra was a results driven executive who was able to balance developing a strategy and managing execution, critical during our time together. She also knew how to hire and develop strong teams." -CS
"I partnered with Sandra on a Market Research Engagement. She proved to be insightful, reliable and professional. Sandra's sharp mind and strong instincts enabled us to anticipate the needs of our client and their constituents. Her hard work and dedication were instrumental in the completion of a deliverable that exceeded the expectations of our client and is driving impact through their organization." -JF
"I worked with Sandra very closely. This dealt with analysis of new markets, acquisition, reviews and renewals, as well as closure of business. She understands internal teams, relationships and provides strong leadership. It was very satisfying to work with Sandra." -EE
"A friend of mine referred me to Sandra Bevins Hughes Coaching. At the time, I was "trying" my hand at being my own boss. I needed help with some issues from my past that kept me from believing in myself and seeing my true potential. Sandra helped me realize what my true values are, what I really believe in, and how I wanted to be treated personally and professionally. Then she helped me come up with strategies that I could use in my work and personal life to help me handle any challenges that may arise. I have come back to her again and again for help coming up with a good strategy for some changes I wanted to make in my life. I left our session feeling more self-confident, inspired and happy about the doable plan we came up. Sandra is always available for check-ins and is happy to coach you as things pop up for you in the future." -MB
"Sandra is a seasoned leader who negotiates with poise and savvy. She was generous in sharing her insights based on her prior work, and genuinely curious. She was assertive in clarifying her perspective, but at the same time, able to understand the perspective of her counterparts." -SP

Pink Floyd-themed cruise will feature think Floyd USA; set to sail to the Bahamas in May 2009.
Kiqstart Music, an entertainment company based in New York, NY and Think Floyd USA, the number one touring production of Pink Floyd in the country, announced plans to host the first Pink Floyd themed cruise aboard a Carnival Cruise Ship to the Bahamas. Dubbed "Great Gig in the Sea", the cruise will allow Pink Floyd music fans to combine sun and sea with an amazing concert experience.
The one-of a kind voyage will feature the music of Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show, and will celebrate material from Pink Floyd's earliest days through the present. Think Floyd USA will take listeners on a musical and visual flight through the Pink Floyd galaxy performing all of Pink Floyd's classic hits from legendary albums such as Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and the all time classic, The Wall.
Great Gig in the Sea
Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show goes beyond the typical tribute act with an unparalleled performance and light show. They have performed before Roger Waters at Milwaukee's Summerfest and have received personal acclaim from David Gilmour himself. The band has been performing to packed houses at numerous arenas, theaters, festivals and casinos around the country, and will be the first tribute band to headline a stage at Milwaukee's famed Summerfest this summer.
"This cruise provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Pink Floyd fans to come together and enjoy the exceptional music and memories of one of the most celebrated performing acts of all time, combined with a truly outstanding vacation experience," said Justin Seidenberg, co-owner of Kiqstart Music.
Cruisers should also be prepared to hear special shows each night, such as Dark Side of the Moon performed in its entirety. Dark Side has held the record for the longest duration of any album on the Billboard 200 and has sold over 40 Million copies worldwide. Other unique events will feature "special guests", Pink Floyd trivia, parties and games.
"We are excited to be a part of this unique concert experience. Floyd fans are so passionate about the band and love to get together to celebrate the music…its going to be a blast," said Mitch Blumfield, vocalist in Think Floyd USA.
Fans can register at GreatGigintheSea.com for updates and access to priority cabins and the best rates. Space is limited.

Nigeria, an African giant, is more often associated with safari, wild waterfalls, dense rainforest and savanna than epic surf adventure.
Lagos is the largest built-up area in Nigeria and is known as 'the centre of excellence' a truly vibrant metropolis, one of the fastest growing cities in the world and the biggest urban sprawl in Africa.
The port town with a vast coast is formed around creaks, sand spits and lagoons. It is here in the middle of this beautiful mess the Naija Surf Nuts are the warriors getting casually barrelled in the untouched breaks. In this part of the world the Atlantic swell takes pretty good care of the coast sandbars.
The places featured in our film show the essence of living in this diverse country:
- Osogbo Sacred Grove shows us magic and rituals in the depth of the forest;
- Old Papas Backyard mutates into the twin brother of J-Bay when the moon is right;
- G-Spot is great location for surf, but is well hidden down the coast;
All of these places are full of afrobeat music, which was created by the famous Fela Kuti, a legendary musician, and human rights activist.
His son keeps the vibe alive playing music on the New African Shrine, a place to immerse yourself in psychedelic african jazz.
The sweet smell of weed mixes with street food. Chicks dance, shaking what their mama gave them, and people find glory in their mere existence.
The surf spots are many and varied, but the best thing about them is they are often untouched.
Words, images and video from Armando Abraham

Tuesday, October 21
I started this blog in the midst of a crisis. I was married, working and wanting a baby and apparently that part of the equation wasn't going to come easy. I spent hours on here, leaning on everyone I could find, eager for answers and miracles and I got a bit of both. Where many of the people in my real world couldn't relate, many of you could and finding that was what I needed.
This place feels good and achy at the same time - I can't help but remember what that time was like desperately wanting and wondering if it would ever happen for us. And it did. We were lucky. We are lucky and believe me I remind myself every day in the trying threes.
But it's that time... and I hope you will come and say hi for a post, or for longer. We're entering a new crisis of sorts but this time it's the kind of panic filled with excitement and energy. The kind that has me up at night because I can't not think of the million and one things that I want to do in our new space.
So pop on over here, I'd love to have you...
and if you're going through what we went through and have questions I'm still here.

I love the article. You have teached a lot in this.ReplyDelete
Are you a fan of cosplay? I am. I just bought my cheap fairy tail cosplay from this store. It is really great to wear. The size fits well. And I am super in love with this. If you want to buy cheap frozen costume, I think www.alicestyless.com would be a great choice for you.
