As I've mentionned before, it is my goal to finish my current projects before I start new ones (though the fair isle sock doesn't count as a current project, I'm still not sure I'll ever finish it, let alone its twin). To keep me motivated, I joined this:
I invite all of you who want to finish those beautiful objects to join too!
I was hoping to post progress pics, but I'm at my mom's for the weekend and I forgot my camera. But here's an update anyways:
Mariah: Things are going well, but I have to tell you, those yoke rows are going a lot slower than I expected. Of course there's over 300 stitches on the needles (the good news is that I decrease every right side row). I'm not sure I'll finish it before the end of my holidays, but I'll try.
Kiri: I worked on it today during the hour long bus ride to my mom's. I love that thing, which is good because it's going to be almost the only thing I'll work on after I finish Mariah.
I say *almost* because of course I'll need to cast on a pair of socks (or maybe I'll go with slippers) so I have something to bring to knitting meetups. But new socks don't count as new projects (as long as I don't have more than one OTN, fair isle socks non included).
I got an email from Elann this week about a sale on this nice hemp yarn. I was very tempted since I remember a beautiful pattern made with hemp in a back issue of Interweave. I resisted, though, because I have many things on my dream knit list already. The colour I wanted (raspberry) is all gone anyways.
I'll end this post by saying that I love the orange sweater on the front of the new Knit Simple. Love it.

Hi Caroline! Your red socks look great! I'm so glad you decided to join us for UFO August and thank you also for helping to spread the word! And about that Hemp yarn.... no one said you couldn't buy yarn in August and save it for those fall projects ;-)
I'm going to be working on UFO list this weekend... I'm dreading it -- it will be quite embarassing!
Can't wait to see your progress pics on the UFO site! Take care!

The view from here…
Last night here in Italia, Brescia to be specific, NoteSpeak pianist-co/composer Marco and I had dinner with two close friends. One reason, among many, that I love these people is for their impassioned thoughtful discourse. Last night's discussion revolved around their outrage that someone might be as moved by John Lennon's murder as by Che Guevara's and we began to debate the idea that the artist's work cannot have the impact of the revolutionary's. You might assume that I would vociferously protest that a committed honest artist's ( or artisan as they would prefer to define our species ) work may have as much of an influence on a populace as a revolutionary leader's. You'd be right.
The four of us at that table are privileged in the countries of our birth, more so even by the fact that we can take the time to wrestle with such questions. Exceedingly lucky that we don't suffer more pressing issues; such as having to take three hours out of our day to fetch water, to fight for the right to an education, to battle the suppression of free thought or countless other obstacles.
The four of us are not, by a western standard, even near wealthy, however, our financial reality, when confronted with the immigrants' here in Italia, begs the question of the validity of that supposition.
So setting aside the very comfortable position from which we speak, the idea that one must be militant in creating change to me seems simplistic and even dangerous. To think that Lennon's oeuvre, writings from his admittedly cushy apartment at 1 W. 72nd Street, must be disregarded because of a lack of commitment to his cause; to categorise the fact that he didn't redistribute his wealth and became a part of the system rather than subverting it- seems to me a rather limited viewpoint . To insist that he succumbed to capitalism in some sense and state that this precludes an ability to effect change seems to be an oversimplification.
One of the responsibilities of an artist is to connect, otherwise, they are just pissing into the wind. If, as Lennon's was, a part of their motivation is in correcting social injustice; they must try and touch the minds and hearts of their listeners and as a result, they will influence, teach, guide and cheer their audience whether this is their intended objective or not. Whether they achieve this goal in superior numbers to the revolutionary is immaterial, the two categories needn't be compared. Certainly, we cannot place more value on the active protest versus the artistic approach.
I love this Global Citizen post as regards the many ways music has effected change, with the hotly debated Lennon on the list.
The essential thing today with a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic bully of a man like Trump in Washington moving his unlawful and blatantly self-serving agenda forward, is that social movements be supported and championed.
Today the active role of the artist within and outside of those movements cannot be undervalued.

The end of Srese Kerr's instalment, second in the Lodestar Series, or Saga as I've been variously calling it, is almost nigh. But I wrote and wrote, I had three days straight. Poured out a lot of words. Seemed good while I was writing it.
Lay it away for a day.
Started reading. Oof. I hated it. It's Srese dealing with Youk while they both have to make a get away.
Started rethinking it overnight. Re imagining how Srese would feel the first time she steps outside the door and sees the desert. The burning sky. The red land stretching to the horizon dotted with dry spinifex tussocks. Thinking that actually they might need to depend on each other at first. The reality is so different than what they are used to.
I started writing it again, from scratch. All the above, and them being shut out, prevented from returning. Having to press on. Srese not wanting to go it alone. Knowing there's all this stuff she doesn't know.
Yes, so I have to walk the knife edge between her being a wimp and her being the courageous person she'd decided to be. But that's good. It'll mean more drama.

Senior Supreme Court lawyer, Mr. Ram Jethmalani has refused to act as a counsel on behalf of the Delhi Chief Minister, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, in the defamation case filed against him.
Mr. Jethmalani has reportedly asked the CM to settle his legal fees of Rs 2 crores and relieve him of his duties as an acting Counsel in the latter's case.
The Senior Counsel was representing Mr. Kejriwal in the civil and criminal defamation case, filed against him and five other members of the Aam Admi Party, by the Union Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley after he was accused by the aforementioned people, of corruption during his term as head of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA).
Mr. Jaitley, who had already filed the civil defamation suit claiming Rs 10 crore damages from Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders, had filed another defamation suit of Rs 10 crore against the Chief Minister alone, for the permission to use such derogatory remarks.
This step was taken after reports came stating that during the Court Proceedings, Mr. Kejriwal blatantly denied giving instructions for the use of the derogatory remarks for the Petitioner.
In his affidavit, Kejriwal said it was "inconceivable that he would even think of instructing the senior counsel to use such objectionable words." The CM denied the charge of Jaitley that the questions with derogatory remarks were "clearly designed to insult and/or annoy" him.
In the affidavit filed before Justice Manmohan it was claimed. "That with due respect it is submitted that neither the answering defendant (Kejriwal) nor the counsel briefing the senior counsel (Jethmalani) gave instructions to the senior counsel to use the objectionable words on May 17, 2017,"
Mr. Jethmalani, however claimed that the Defendent had made use of a much more derogatory language while referring to the Finance Minister.

First Reading
Wis 1:1-7
Love justice, you who judge the earth;
think of the Lord in goodness,
and seek him in integrity of heart;
Because he is found by those who test him not,
and he manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him.
For perverse counsels separate a man from God,
and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;
Because into a soul that plots evil, wisdom enters not,
nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin.
For the holy Spirit of discipline flees deceit
and withdraws from senseless counsels;
and when injustice occurs it is rebuked.
For wisdom is a kindly spirit,
yet she acquits not the blasphemer of his guilty lips;
Because God is the witness of his inmost self
and the sure observer of his heart
and the listener to his tongue.
For the Spirit of the Lord fills the world,
is all-embracing, and knows what man says.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 139:1b-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10
R. (24b) Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know the whole of it.
Behind me and before, you hem me in
and rest your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
too lofty for me to attain.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Where can I go from your spirit?
From your presence where can I flee?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I sink to the nether world, you are present there.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
if I settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
Even there your hand shall guide me,
and your right hand hold me fast.
R. Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
Lk 17:1-6
Jesus said to his disciples,
"Things that cause sin will inevitably occur,
but woe to the one through whom they occur.
It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck
and he be thrown into the sea
than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Be on your guard!
If your brother sins, rebuke him;
and if he repents, forgive him.
And if he wrongs you seven times in one day
and returns to you seven times saying, "I am sorry,"
you should forgive him."
And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
you would say to this mulberry tree,
'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."
A latin adage says "corruptio optima pessima est" meaning "the corruption of the best is the worse". Today Jesus talks about scandal or corruption in the Gospel. He rebukes all those who are agents of scandal, who go about scandalizing others by their thoughts, words and actions.
But in the Gospel reading, Jesus talks about an aspect of the scandal we can give to others, and that is an unforgiving heart. Supposing Jesus after all he taught about forgiveness could not forgive his executioners. It would have been the height of hypocrisy. He forgave that we might forgive.
The readings bring to your consciousness the thought of that enemy you keep or that friend you have never forgiven. Perhaps you have forgiven him/her severally in the past but he/she keeps repeating the same mistake. Has anyone spoken ill of you? What is that wrong done to you that you find it difficult to forgive. Today, Jesus tell you that it is scandalous never to forgive. Maybe, the offender has approached you for forgiveness but you refused. Jesus says "It is better you have a stone tied round your neck and thrown into the river than to scandalize others" with your unforgiving heart. Find a place in your heart to forgive. Wisdom and faith in God will enable you do this because the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and faith gives energy to our Christian lives.

| ASSIGNMENT ON| A. K KRAIPAK vs UNION OF INDIA| (A Case Study)| | | | AN ANALYSIS OF THE CASE OF A. K KRAIPAK VS UNION OF INDIA : INTRODUCTION: Kraipak vs Union of india is regarded as an epoch making decision as it demolishes the artificial and conceptualistic distinction between administrative and quasi judicial function as well as delinked natural justice from quasi judicial.
In this case the court asserted that natural justice could be applied to the so called administrative function as well, for the rules of natural justice aim at securing justice, or to prevent miscarriage of justice, and the basic aim is to arrived at a just decision. kraipak's case had a profound impact on the growth of administrative law in india. The liberal judicial trend in favour of applying natural justice got strengthened as a result of the kraipak's decision. Facts of the case :
In 1966, a service called The Indian Forest Service was constituted, the selection for which was to be made from among the officers serving in the forest department of the state. Section 3 of the All India Services Act, 1951 provides that the Central Government shall after consulting the Government of the States concerned to make rules for the regulation of recruitment and the conditions of the service of persons appointed to those All India Services. In pursuance of the power given under Section 3, Indian Forest Service (Recruitment) Rules, 1966 were made.
The Rule 4(1) of the above mentioned Rules empowers the Central Government to recruit to the service any person from amongst the members of the State Forest Service adjudged suitable in accordance with such regulations as the Central Government may make in consultation with State Governments and the Commission. " Now the regulation 3 of Indian Forest Service (Initial Recruitment) Regulations, 1956 framed under Rule 4(1) of the Indian Forest Service (Recruitment) Rules, 1966 provided for the Constitution of a Special Selection Board consisting of: 1.
The Chairman of UPSC or his nominee. 2. Inspector General of Forests of the Government of India. 3. Joint Secretary. UOI. 4. Chief Secretary of the concerned State Government. 5. Chief Conservator of Forest of the concerned State Government. The selection Board was to be headed by the Chief Conservator of the Forest of the State while the final selections were to be made by the Union Public Service Commission (U. P. S. C).
In the State of Jammu and Kashmir, a Naquishbund was appointed as the acting Chief Conservator of forest and was olso a member of the selection board for recommending the names of officers for All India Forest Service was formed, The Board recommended the names of the persons including Naquishbund. The selections as finally made by the board were accepted by the Commission. On the basis of the recommendations of the Commission, the impugned list was published. Even After review Basu, Baig and Kaulwho were supersede by naquishbund for chief conservator of forest were not selected.
It must be noted that Naquishbund was also one of the candidates for All India Forest Service. Though he did not sit in the selection board at the time his name was considered for selection but he did sit in the board when the names of Basu, Baig and Kaul were considered for selection and was also involved while preparing the list of selected candidates . Aggrieved, The Gazetted Officers Association, brought a petition to the Court challenging that the selections in question were made in contravention of the Principles of Natural Justice.
Arguments Advanced : The petitioners as well as the respondents raised arguments with respect to the nature of the power conferred on the selection board. The petitioners contended that Rule 4 as well as Regulation 5 prescribes that the selections should be made after 'adjudging' the suitability of the officers belonging to the State service. The word 'adjudge' the meaning of which is 'to judge or decide' indicates that the power conferred on the selection board was a quasi-judicial power.
It was contended on their behalf that such a power is a judicial power not an administrative one and it has to be exercised in accordance with the well accepted Rules of Natural Justice, the violation of which has been rightly claimed. Naquishbund, being a candidate for Indian Forest Service cannot be an adjudicator of the same. On the other hand, the learned Attorney General on behalf of the respondents argued that the power exercised by the selection board is not a quasi-judicial power but an administrative power.
To support this contention, it was further admitted that the proceedings before the selection board were not quasi-judicial because the board was not required to decide about any 'right'. The duty of the board was merely to select officers who in its opinion were suitable for Indian Forest Service. He interpreted the word 'adjudge' as being 'found worthy of selection'. It was also contended by the learned Attorney General that after all the selection board was only a recommendatory body. Its recommendations had first to be perused by the Home Ministry and then by the U.
P. S. C. The final recommendations were made by the U. P. S. C. Therefore, grievances of the petitioners have no real basis. Keeping in mind the validity of the administrative actions taken, all that has to be seen is whether the final decision is just or not. And finally, in the form of arguendo, it was also contended by the learned Attorney General that the mere fact that one of the members of the board was biased against some of the petitioners cannot vitiate the whole selection process Analyzing the Judgment
A five judge bench of the Apex Court held that the selections made by the selection committee were in violation of principles of natural justice. The Court found the power exercised by the Selection Board as an administrative one and tested the validity of the selections on that basis. It held that the concept of rule of law would lose its importance if the instrumentalities of the State are not charged with the duty of discharging their functions in a fair and just manner. Also, it is a must to charge dministrative authorities with the duty of discharging their functions in a fair and just manner in a Welfare State like India, where the jurisdiction of the administrative bodies is increasing at a rapid rate. In the words of Hegde, J. – "The requirement of acting judicially in essence is nothing but to act justly and fairly and not arbitrarily or capriciously. The procedures which are considered inherent in the exercise of a judicial power are merely those which facilitate if not ensure a just and fair decision. It further observed that the dividing line between an administrative power and quasi-judicial power is being gradually obliterated. The Court held that the basic principle of nemo judex in causa sua was violated by appointing Naquishbund as a member of the selection board. Though he did not participate in the deliberations of the board when his name was being considered yet the very fact that he was a member of the selection board had a significant impact on the decision of the selection board and he participated in the deliberations when the claims Basu, Baig and Kaul were considered.
Under such circumstances, the Court could not believe that Naquishbund could have been unbiased, the Court observed that the question is not whether Naquishbund was actually biased or not. The real question is whether there is a reasonable ground for believing that he was likely to have been biased. Further the Court observed that the question is not whether Naquishbund was actually biased or not. The real question is whether there is a reasonable ground for believing that he was likely to have been biased, earlier in Manaklal's case the Court had made it clear that the test was not actual bias but a reasonable apprehension of bias.
It held that it is difficult to prove the state of mind. Therefore in deciding the question of bias ordinary course of human conduct is taken into consideration. Owing to this, the Court observed that there was a personal interest on part of Naquishbund to keep out his rivals in order to secure his position without further challenge and so he cannot said to be impartial, fair and just while making the selection. Conclusion
Therefore what emerges from this case is that although the Courts are making distinctions between the Quasi-Judicial and Administrative powers but at the same time there is one common element of fair procedure in both the cases which can be referred to as the 'duty to act fairly'. This duty arises from the same general principles, as do the rules of natural justice. The case of A. K Kraipak v. Union of India is a landmark judgement in the development of administrative law in India and has strengthened the rule of law in this country.
Hedge, J. observed that "If the purpose of the rules of natural justice is to prevent miscarriage of justice one fails to see why those rules should be made inapplicable to administrative inquiries". In the words of Krishna Iyer, J. – "Once we understand the soul of the rule as fairplay in action – and it is so- we must hold that it extends to both the fields. After all administrative power in a democratic set-up is not allergic to fairness in action and discretionary executive justice cannot degenerate into unilateral injustice. "

We could hide ourselves in dreary shades
or shine in our appeasing fight
between hopes and blind despair.
We are pushing our short lives forth
from its empty hardiness,
knowing we could choke before
the fields will lie still.
How much we ever bloom
in our crinkly tendrils creep
no arms in the fields of the meadow
are there ,to fold you.
Nobody to bow over your complexion
to save you in the Autumn sun
with white shades of pale.
Although, and above all.
You are still the shimmer in the setting sun.
A lively murmur of a Summer day.
Surrounded by wonders in moonlight,
you can reach the whole world around.
Your still living passion you bind in secret of thy art
to be found in many miraculous places.

Background Work
1) I have reformatted all the archive and review headers. You might notice the improved consistency in logos and addresses. I also added logos on all the OOP review headers. That was tough. I searched for and found as many logos as I could, but I'm still missing:
Missing Logos (some just don't have logos):
Experimental Rocketry Group (Loki sells the book)
J.A.P. Systems (anyone know this guy and is he still selling kits)
Maine Model and High Power Rockets (Is he still doing a business)
RocketPad (getting ready to move to OOP)
Roachwerks Custom Turnings
Shecter Rockets
OOP – does anyone have a logo they could scan for me?
Ballistic Bob
C.A.R.D.E. Systems
Empire Rockets
Novus Aerospace
Outlaw Rockets
Phoenix Rocketry
Pyramid Rockets
Weir Rockets
West Coast Rocketry
Yoyodyne Aerospace
2) I've added a Link to EMRR page that will help clubs, vendors, and personal website managers to be able to link back to EMRR. I've always had this type of page, but it was buried. . You can get to it from the Links menu.

EMRR Featured Reviewers
I remember communicating with Tim initially asking for permission to place the reviews from his website onto EMRR. I liked the general format and flow of Tim's reviews and therefore selected him as a featured reviewer to demonstrate the style of reviews that EMRR wanted to have on the site.
In March 1998, I added Dave Sutter. I remember excellent e-mail discussions with Dave Sutter on whether EMRR reviews should have ratings or not (he was adamant that we needed them). Dave was another review writer that had a good flow and format.
At this time EMRR didn't have an interview page for each featured reviewer, so you won't find one on Tim or Dave.
In March 1998, I also added Tom Bell. I actually have no recollection as to why I asked Tom to be a featured reviewer. Sad, eh? Tom does have an interview page which I collected in June 1998.
All three of EMRR's initial Featured Reviewers appear to no longer be active with rocketry.
The fourth Featured Reviewer was Jim Stuckman. Jim ran the "Out of Production Rocket Auction" as well as other rocketry related activities. He and I did the first (and only) joint review. It was my attempt into a Siskel and Ebert type review. We reviewed the North Coast Rocketry Interceptor G. Jim's most thorough review was the 30th Anniversary Estes Industries Saturn-V/Apollo 11 where Jim presented a step-by-step review and update. The page had many, many followers on RMR and I still see it listed on various club websites. Unfortunately, Jim passed away in 2002 after a long illness.
Okay, so what, they're Featured Reviewers, big deal! Well, true, but also a resounding false. My initial plan included utilizing the Featured Reviewers to be available if/when a manufacturer asked for one of their products to be reviewed. That happened. Tim Wood reviewed the Apogee Model Rocket Propulsion book, Dave Sutter reviewed the Edmond's Ci-Ci, Tom Bell reviewed Nordic Rocketry's Delta-X, and Jim Stuckman reviewed JP Parachute's 38" Parachute. All of these were provided by the manufacturers to have a review turned quickly and added to EMRR.
This portion of the program has been very successful and EMRR Featured Reviewers have reviewed over 70 products provided by manufacturers. Manufacturers contact EMRR and ask for a quick turn-around, usually target 30 days for someone to review and post it to EMRR. We stress non-biased, objective reviews.
The Featured Reviewer program on EMRR has continued and we have now had 20 different Featured Reviewers over the past 10 years. They can be found under Attractions/Featured Reviewers on the menu.
On my very first Blog post someone asked: "How do you select featured reviewers? Are they experts or in some other way better at building and flying than the non featured reviewers?"
I provided an initial reply to the first of his two-part question indicating that "I have picked each one of them for some specific reason..." and then gave some examples. Below are the reasons for all the active Featured Reviewers in alphabetical order. You can see each of their interviews on the Featured Reviewers page:
Lance Alligood – Solid supporter of EMRR and has now probably formatted more reviews for the site than I have. He has contributed 51 articles/reviews to EMRR and has some excellent USR reviews. He also was fortunate to build and fly the now OOP F104 Starfighter
Donald Besaw Jr – He was 21 when we asked him to join EMRR's Featured Reviewers and that is the reason. He had stuck to flying rockets from age 13. Donald has 46 articles/reviews on EMRR and I just know he has more than a handful waiting to be submitted.
Larry Brand – Larry has been finding his own niche with building, flying, and analyzing tube-fin rockets. Perhaps you noticed the article in Sport Rocketry last issue? Well, we choose Larry for this tube-fin experience. He has 38 articles/reviews on EMRR including some unique modification articles and, of course, tube-fin scratch builds.
Bob Cox – Our featured mystery man who never shows his face. He has demonstrated that he is a "virtual" rocket king winning 5 of the 9 Virtual Rocket Contests that he has entered and placing 2nd in two others.
Drake "Doc" Damerau – All we could say when we saw some of Drake's work was "wow!". For instance his nearly 15 foot long upscale Andromeda. Or check out his 1st place entry in EMRR's Design this Spaceship contest called Annulus. Impressive work.
Clive Davis - He builds many types of rockets and has been a good participant in EMRR contests, but he was selected for his work with paper rockets. He has numerous reviews, his own plans, and a featured tip on paper rockets. Neat stuff and good techniques.
Bill Eichelberger – Bill has 71 reviews/articles on EMRR (4th highest), however, he was selected for his excellent craftmanship in cloning out-of-production kits including many Centuri and Estes kits. Check out his OOP Estes Alien Invader and his recently added Hareus Humongous which is an upscaled Goonybird Cloudhopper.
Geof Givens – Take a look at Geof's scratch builds, especially the Sapphire Queen and the Dark Matter Driftship to get a sense of why we picked Geof. Imaginative and very skilled.
Dick Stafford – What can we say? Dick became a Featured Reviewer in 2001 and now has the most articles/reviews on EMRR…148…(yes, he just passed me last update, although I have two I'm working on so I'll pass him again). He is highly supportive of the site in database management and a good sounding board. He runs a great rocket-related Blog, Dick's Rocket Dungeon. Although he has many, many unique, odd, and challenging rockets, I personally liked his Fireball X15 rocket.
Chan Stevens – After just saying what I did about the number of Dick's reviews… Chan is going to pass us both this year. He is a rocket-building monster. Back in 2004, in his interview he said he had over 250 rockets. Well four years have gone by and I suspect that number is nearly 500. He has 142 reviews/articles on EMRR.
So, now back to the second part of the question asked, "Are they experts or in some other way better at building and flying than the non featured reviewers?"
You decide.

Why "Essence"?
I worked for a company responsible for maintaining manufacturing equipment in 1989. We had a service contract to maintain the equipment and were responsible for producing performance metrics. Things like availability, mean time between fail, mean time to repair, etc. The customer's data collection system could not produce adequate reports. I found a shareware program called QubeCalc (a 3-Dimensional Spreadsheet). This program had the ability to write macros and was probably well ahead of Lotus123 in its day.
Using QubeCalc, I created a program that allowed us to import the customer data and process it to create the appropriate reports. After working many late nights, I got this delusion that "this is really something" and "I should call myself something"… and therefore, I came up with Essence Software.
Why Essence? I started to look for words that were close to my last name and meant something. Essence had one meaning that caught my eye: "distinctive quality". That was significant to me and so I adopted Essence Software.
To finish the QubeCalc story, the company we were supporting wanted to buy it. Couldn't. My company and I felt differently about the ownership of that piece of software. So the first product of Essence Software died a quick and painless death. (NOTE: I did get a check from my company for $1500 in recognition for the work I did which was cool!)
From there, I decided Essence Software could do more.
I then taught myself VisualBasic and created an offline Bulletin Board System (BBS) Reader and Search engine. It was pretty good and became fairly well know. Eventually a researcher contacted me for the publisher of the "Dummies Guide To". We agreed that they could include it on a disk for a "Dummies Guide to BBS". Now, pause for a moment and think about the date. When would you say that BBS's were overtaken by internet forums? Some say that by 1996 BBS's lost their popularity… I felt it a bit earlier.
Strike two for Essence Software. (Oh, and how he goes on!) Essence Software was decidedly dead.
Okay, so previously I wrote about getting into HTML programming which started EMRR. The obvious answer to "why Essence" is that I have carried the Essence name over to the website. However, as you have probably noticed, I use a different definition. I think "the basic, real, and invariable nature of a thing" fits so nicely for a "reviews" site. Breaking things down to their very basics. Perhaps you share the same thought.
I also use Essence for Essence Aerospace Technologies which I loved calling EAT. I may do more with that in the near future. Check out this logo Arley Davis created in a Logo Contest. Cool, eh?
And most recently, I've added this Essence of Essence's Model Rocketry Reviews Blog using the new definition of (in philosophy) "the true constitution of anything, as opposed to what is accidental".
Essence Software is dead, but Essence Technologies is a registered LLC and is happy to bring you Essence's Model Rocketry Reviews!

The Rocket Room
But, yesterday afternoon, I fixed up my "rocket room" and am now poised to build some rockets this year. I will also plan on finishing and flying them as well.
For the last couple of years, I've just been able to hit a couple of larger launches: 2006 it was NYPower and last year it was NARAM-49. Outside of that, not much flying. So, it is time to hit the high school field and farmland again.
I have a ton of things to build, but most recently the Pemberton Kraken and the Sirius S.S. Cestris Interplanetary Transport Vehicle have captured my attention (and are sitting on my building pile). I also love the lines of the Estes Crossfire ISX which came in a starter set with the Amazon that my oldest son built. AND, I'm intrigued with the design of the Heavenly Hobbies Backdraft.
I also need to finish painting the Madcow Scout, Semroc Hydra VII, and the USR Sentra SRB 2.7.
Lastly, I have a plan to convert my damaged BSD Thor into an upscale of my "award winning"
Coming from the last two years… this is a lot on my plate, but, let's go for it!

It All Begins Here
Well, the reason is that sometimes I have more to say than what actually belongs in EMRR content. I hope some of you spend a few minutes and read along. Your appreciation of EMRR may grow or there is that risk that you could care less. But if the latter, then look here before reading another word.
So with this introduction, I'd like to get into the Essence of Essence's Model Rocketry Reviews:
That's right. I started off back in 1998 with an idea. You're wrong. The idea was not EMRR, it was to learn how to program in html. I thought this could benefit me some how. EMRR came about as a medium to learn HTML.
Funny thing was, after I started the site with the initial 25 reviews I determined that it was fun. Some responded in a positive way. In 1 month the 25 had grown to 50 reviews, in 2 months over 100, and by the end of the year it was over 200. The curve definitely decreased after the first couple of months because I had pretty much completed my scrounging of the internet and asking permission to copy other's reviews into EMRR.
But then the site started to gain an audience. At that time, EMRR was getting about 500 hits a month, we relied on some free space from our ISP and we didn't have a dedicated URL (although the original http://www.fly.to/EMRR still works).
The growth slope changed significantly in 2000. Quarterly review and article additions went from approximately 50 per quarter to consistently over 75 and sometimes as high as 200. Well, today (2/1/08) we surpassed the 3000 mark with about 770 different authors! (NOTE: submissions have dropped per quarter, but that may be a sign of having so many kits already reviewed)
I regret not knowing which were the very first reviews… that would be fun to know. Back then my back-ups were done on tape and I tossed those when I went to CD's. I also regret not putting dates on the reviews until more recently. When I did this I went back through all the archives (http://www.archive.org) and also to as many back-ups that I could find.
One of my earliest reviews was the Estes Quark. Look how old the rating box is!
Shortly after the initial start of EMRR I realized how important flight logs were. I added mine and then had others tell me they'd like to have theirs recorded, so by June 1998, the first flight logs were entered. Now there are over 25,000 flight logs on over 2,600 rockets by more than 1,300 rocketeers. Check out one of my first reviews that actually had flight logs, the Rogue Aerospace Hex Courier.
So, there's a start to "The Essence of Essence's Model Rocketry Reviews". Let's see where it goes from here.
Next up: Why "Essence", unless someone entreats me with a better question.
en-treat () to ask (a person) earnestly; beseech; implore; beg.
EMRR: Hit's 3000 Reviews and Articles!

Fire Safety and Math
During math today I put a few subjects together as one. We first completed a class writing about fire safety and wrote some of the important things we learned this week. We then talked about shapes that we could use to make our very own fire truck. We came up with a rectangle for the body, a square for the front, circles for the tires, triangles for the lights, another rectangle for the ladder and a hexagon for the window. We put those shapes together and included a few additional details on the truck and we were finished!

From The instant you stroll in there office there hospitality is next to none. There valuable staff are the two friendly and also have an exceptionally caring Perspective. They have been extremely beneficial and I might suggest them to anybody who wants a different office to go as well, or maybe desire a additional enjoyable practical experience for them.
Create an assessment Many Countless Shoppers stop by ResellerRatings each month to check out true reviews of purchasing experiences before they purchase!
This is the bombastic shizzzle!!!!! The pho was outstanding, my baby Mama experienced the ginger beef more than rice and we also had numerous sandwiches together with spring rolls accompanied by some complimentary wings to sample. There is good ambiance and the whole spouse and children is associated, even the aged guy that was nice sufficient to share his sweet sticky rice (purple and eco-friendly colour) and his environmentally friendly jelly (tasted like boba) with the children.
I'd a zirconia entire arch restoration, I can smile with out remaining ashamed and eat anything at all i want!! Thank You Dr. Iskander. I might do it all yet again if I had way too.
The shot didn't damage. He always got all the things numb on the 1st test so I didn't operate into ache in the midst of drilling. He experienced a great character and also his assistant and the remainder of the employees. I have given that dropped my dental insurance policy and I want get the job done performed, in terrified he would not be capable to take my new coverage. I can not picture heading any where else.
Dr. Dorfman gave me additional personal data following a two hour consultation than my childhood dentist gave me in 22 several years!
End pursuing Alexis T. 6/seven/2017 Arrived below soon after noticing that check here there was a completely new Vietnamese cafe in city. Purchased bun bo hue pho. Pho generally experienced noodles, several items of meat and it failed to even have any pork blood in it. The waitress had her finger within my bowl of soup when she put it on my table.
It is a unfortunate indisputable fact that the dentist you need most may not be covered through the plan you've procured. On the other hand, that does not imply that you've to look for dental companies in other places. When you are really relaxed with a dentist and you feel they is often an ally in your ongoing oral treatment routine, then take into consideration signing a strategy to just retain that dentist out there.
Periodontists take care of patients with additional complicated oral treatment backgrounds, those people who need root planing - where by dentists clean up any contaminated surfaces - and root debridement, or perhaps the elimination of useless tissue. Periodontists are Specially worried with correct gum health, including unpleasant recession and tooth alignment.
Our sufferers often have friends & household touch upon how wonderful their faces search. (Don't worry—no person has to realize it's because of the dentures. Your secret is Protected with us!)

Waiting around time was extensive for among my visits, but presented how staying a Dr unanticipated issues come up, not unreasonable. Likely forward, previous to leaving for my follow up apts I usually get in touch with ahead.
I 1st frequented Dr. Takenaga two weeks ago at Sierra Dental Care, I was late for the appointment but his personnel was greater than accommodating and created me experience very at ease and welcome. Dr. Takenaga arrived in with the biggest smile ever Regardless that I was very grumpy; I left his office smiling. Dr. Takenaga and his assistant geared up me with the process the following week. They took lots of picture of my mouth and tooth; I think that was the worst portion.

A geology and a history lesson all in one blog!
Long long ago children, there was a volcano in the area that we now know as Edinburgh, and it erupted spewing molten lava all over the place, but particularly in two big piles. Over the years this cooled and was covered by other stuff until, during an ice-age, a big glacier rolled over the landscape, simultaneously stripping off the layers of other stuff from the piles of volcanic rock and creating the valley which runs east to west through what is now the city centre. The pile of rock on the west end of the city is the thing they built the castle on top of, the pile of the east is now Arthur's Seat (presumably King Arthur but no-one seems to know much about this) and the valley became a loch, which was drained and where now sit Waverley Station and the gardens south of Princes Street.
In the National Gallery of Scotland (where we saw the Titian which has just been saved for the nation), there is a picture painted in seventeen hundred and something which portrays the castle and it is, indeed, sitting on top of a hill, overlooking a loch. Looking at this picture you can't help but wonder who first had the bright idea of draining the damn thing and to build a city in it's place. Did some-one turn up at the parish council meeting one day and say "I've had a great idea !". Who took him seriously? How do you drain a loch?? Where does the water go? How do you know that there's not a water source below which will refill it as fast as you empty it?
Anyway, they did it and Edinburgh exists, a city dominated by the castle on top of the hill.
Except, really, to truly dominate something you do have to be, at the very least, visible. The day we arrived was grey and, from street level, the castle was shrouded in low cloud. As we walked around the west bank, it became no clearer. We decided to see how close we could get and still not be able to see it. As it turned out, we managed to go into car park of the castle itself (the bit where all the marching up and down goes on in the Tattoo) and still we couldn't see anything as illustrated in the photo I published early. Please keep up! .
This may be military brilliance of course. Obviously, if you are Scottish and you build a castle, it will only be a matter of time before we English attack it. But if you make it invisible, then you could lure a hapless English enemy into a trap - the opposing army wander around blindly peering up at the skyline, while you tip boiling hot oil down on their heads.
Unable to enjoy the full glory of the castle, we decided to come back the following day to have a better look, and set off down the Royal Mile, running through the old part of the city between the Castle at one end and Holyroodhouse at the other, which is a palace that sits beneath Arthur's Seat and was built mainly for Charles II because he didn't like staying at the castle (either because it was too cold - we can vouch that it is cold - or because he couldn't find it in the mist).
The following day was clearer and by the time we get back up the hill, there was blue sky. And F finally got to see the castle which is, indeed, impregnable looking. There's lots to see in the castle including St Margaret's chapel (it's a great thing to stand in a small room that some-one built in 1100), the very moving Scottish National War Memorial room (it made me cry), the Great Hall, the room where Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to James I, the Scottish crown jewels (re-discovered by Sir Walter Scott, a feat which more likely explains why a 200ft gothic spire has been erected in his honour in Princes Street, than the fact that he wrote "Rob Roy" a novel which no-one has ever read), the stone of destiny (formerly The Stone of Scone) and Mons Meg.
Mons Meg is a massive cannon made in 1455. It took 100 men to drag it into position and they could only move it two miles a day. It was capable of hurling a 5 cwt stone ball about a mile and a half. In it's day it was an awesome weapon...
Except that, (and I speak as a military strategist myself obviously,) if you knew all that, then surely the smart move would be to position yourself one and nine sixteenths miles away from it, also moving two miles a day but with considerably more ease than the poor blighters who had to drag the blasted thing around. However, when I suggested this to the uniformed officer who happened to be standing next to me, I was met with what I can only describe as a stony silence. That will be the last time I try to be helpful to a Scotsman ;-)
Later we walked down to the Grassmarket where there is a small raised platform on the spot where they used to hang people. Next to this is a pub named after a woman who, having been hanged and placed in the body cart, woke up. This illustrates, we were told, an interesting distinction between English and Scottish law. In England, you would be taken and "hanged until you are dead". In Scotland, in contrast, you would be taken and "hanged". In our womans case, the fact that she was not dead did not mean that the sentence had not been carried out and she was therefore free to go and open a pub. Had all this happened in England she would have had to go around for another go.
One thing we did that I especially enjoyed was a trip below ground where there are still preserved medieval houses and streets. It is an amazing experience. You can get a rough idea of the size and shape of the accomodation (tiny) but it's impossible to imagine what life was really like. The street is very steep and narrow. With buildings ten plus stories high, there would have been little light. And this was one of the busiest trading streets in the old city - full of stalls, people, livestock etc, claustrophobic beyond imagining. And worse, there was no proper sanitation, which meant that sewage was tipped into the street (bad enough if you live at the top of the hill, but at the bottom......) and flowed down the hill, as it turns out, into the loch which some-one wanted to drain two hundred years later for reasons that we suddenly better understood.
Apart from no space, no sanitation, no daylight and no comfort, they also had the plague which killed a third of the population until, as in London, it was wiped out by fire. Rough times indeed. And can you think of a worse job in the 17th century than being the guy charged with disposing of the plague dead? It makes being a child protection social worker sound like a walk in the park in comparison. And speaking of walks in the park - or in this case the gardens - Princes Gardens have the most beautiful tulips....although I don't know about that wallflower...she could at least try to look as though she is having a good time! (Which she very definitely was.)

Right, there's the cry of sheer envy out of the way, now I can relax.
This is a fabulous post, so enjoyable and interesting to read. I loved the geology and history lesson.
I went inside the castle and to its various attractions last August, whereas this time round (Feb) I did lots of walking, going to art galleries (did you go up to Deansgate at all?) and various other bits and bobs. I had been debating whether to go to the underground museum, but on both occasions I failed to get round to it.
Just one thing, I'm sure I've read stuff about hangings in London (poss. Newgate) where, in one or two cases, people survived and - to quote one example - went to the theatre the same evening.
Anyway, that's by the by.
Oh and if you want to see my pics atop Arthur's Seat, they're here (the post is not related).
Lastly, I'm glad you had a good time!

I love the bag you are sporting although I can only see part of it! Sounds like you had a great time in Edinburrah! Hope all is well?
Have you heard about the line up at Reading? I am soooo excited!! xx
- Karen said...
Good post JJ! I love Edinburgh and hope to get up there sometime this year to catch up with friends and hit the shops and sights. I've always wanted to go to the underground town so I will make that a priority.
There is a similar fog on the west coast of Cumbria which hides the Isle of Man. Apparently this is created by a Manx sea god, as you can read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man#Myth.2C_legend_and_folklore

Oh, that does sound so much fun! An undergrounds street! I'd love to see that! I must get up to Edinburgh at some point, especially since some of my ancestors come from there.
Thanks for the description - I felt I was there. And the lovely person with the tulips is not a wallflower, honey. Not by any means! ;)
- J.J said...
I loved those photos Trousers. Must be ace in the snow.
Dear diary. This morning I was hanged. After that I had a theatre date. Cool!
Moo - it was a birthday present with which I am seriously thrilled.And yes - Reading sounds superb.
Karen - I am sure you will love the underground tour. A Must Do.
Jay - if there is a better city in the UK I haven't been there. Oh - and you are very nice to me. Thank you!
- naldo said...
Re that loch beneath the castle (it was called the Nor' Loch)...i've always been told that dead bodies were flung into during the plague. No sure how absorbent dead bodies are but they appear to have soaked up all the water.
Oh, and how come the current queen's ER2 but Jamesy boy's only JR1. Surely they are/were both the first of Britain or the UK or whatever it's called? (I'm a republican by the way.)
- J.J said...
Naldo - on the underground tour the guide told us the guy told us the pague dead were buried away from the city - but that they did duck suspected witches in the loch to see if they drowned or not. If they turned out not to be witches by the fact that they drowned - their bodies were left in there.
Had never thought about that ER2 /JR1 bit before. Gawd knows why. Though I try not to think about any of that shower too carefully. (Would get rid of the lot of them later today if I could.)

Another great night with two of my favorite girls!. Natalie got us some great seats at the Hippodrome in Baltimore to see Disney on Ice. We had seen the same show when Ella was two and Jennifer went with us and we all wore dresses and tiaras. This time it was just the three of us and we dressed down a touch but all wore Disney head wear. It was so fun to see all the little girls dressed as their favorite Princess. Ella has always loved Minnie Mouse Princess and even named our dog after her. She knows I love Belle because Papa reminds me of the big lovable Beast. We all like CinderElla because of course she has the same name. Although Ella was named after two of my favorite women, Tom's grandmother, GabriELLA and my mother, Nancy, who died two months before Ella was born. Hence Ella Nancy.
Back to the show.We got there early to see the dresses on display but so did everyone else and we were stuck in line for 45 minutes. We saw Cinderella's dress first, those mice did a great job. We were in the 6th row (second row off the floor). We got to see everything, not sure still if that made the show better for us. We thought they would have some "dinner" food but we ended up with funnel cake, fries , popcorn & soft pretzel. I don't think she minded. It was also the first day she was wearing her new glasses, aren't they cute.We're going to be better about making sure she wears them this time.

Sydney: Australian scientists said Tuesday they have shown for the first time that athletes who use a banned growth hormone can sprint faster but the substance did not improve strength, power or endurance.
Using human growth hormone (hGH) can improve an athlete`s sprint speed by 4.0 to 5.0 per cent -- potentially turning the last-place into a gold medallist in an Olympic track event, the study found.
"A 4.0 per cent improvement over a 10-second period is 0.4 seconds which is a huge time interval," Professor Ken Ho, lead researcher at Sydney`s Garvan Institute of Medical
Research, told reporters.
Ho said the study is the first scientific research showing improved physical function from using hGH, a naturally occurring hormone which is important for growth and metabolism
and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The substance is thought to be widely abused by elite athletes who believe that injecting themselves with the growth hormone results in bigger muscles and therefore increases
strength, power and endurance.
While the new findings justify the WADA ban, using growth hormone injections may not improve performance in all areas, Ho said.
"The advantage is really in the type of sporting event," said Ho, who is also chairman of the Department of Endocrinology at Sydney`s St Vincent`s Hospital.
"I don`t think it would help them if they were a rower or a weightlifter. But it would certainly help them if they were a sprinter."

Baltimore County police said yesterday that they have charged two more men in a series of three burglaries at a Glyndon concrete company that ended March 19 when company owners fatally shot one man and wounded two.
Police said the two men most recently charged in the break-ins at the Back River Supply Inc. in the 12200 block of Owings Mills Blvd. are Brandon M. Kruft of the 11900 block Thurloe Drive, Timonium, and Michael P. Walker of the 9100 block Vega Court, Randallstown.
Kruft, 20, was charged Wednesday, but his arrest was kept secret so as not to jeopardize the search for Walker, 22, who was arrested Friday, police said. Both are charged with breaking and entering and theft.

Cheltenham: Sprinter Sacre dull in workout, will miss Queen Mother Champion Chase
Sprinter Sacre, the winner of nine consecutive steeplechases in England and Ireland until he was pulled up in his last start in December, will not start in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham, England, on March 12, trainer Nicky Henderson told the Racing Post on Sunday.
Henderson said Sprinter Sacre was dull in a workout Saturday.
"He's not showing the same brilliance as last year," he said.
Sprinter Sacre has won 14 of 17 starts but did not finish the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton Park in England on Dec. 27. Immediately after the race, he was found to have an irregular heartbeat. Subsequent tests revealed no long-term damage.
Sprinter Sacre resumed training earlier this year, but Henderson said he was not pleased with the workout and would point the 8-year-old French-bred gelding to the 2014-15 steeplechase season.
Owned by Carolyn Mould, Sprinter Sacre had been as short as 1-3 in the future book for the Champion Chase before the Desert Orchid Chase. In recent weeks, his future-book price had risen to 4-5.

Idlis and dosas are always very common in South Indian households. These are such a relish which can be enjoyed any time of the day. I am in the habit of making this batter almost every fortnight as it comes in handy to fix a meal or to serve the famished kids after a long day at the school. This time I stuck to the traditional idli/dosa batter with idli rice and urad dal. Having done that, I wanted to make some dosas with masala but did not want to prepare that in the usual style. My kids love having cheese inside their dosas...give an option, they will choose the cheese dosa over the regular plain dosa or masala dosa. So, I came upon this idea of trying dosas in Quesadilla style using some veggies. I deliberated over mixed veggies or spinach and finally settled to making some veggie Quesadilla style dosas. However, since I did not have the mexican seasonings, I just went ahead and used our regular seasoning and garam masala. I could have just used some cumin and chilli powder to get the Mexican flavors but was not sure if my kids would like it.
Masala Ingredients
3/4 to 1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 of a big capsicum
1 medium potato peeled and chopped fine
1 small carrot peeled and chopped fine(smaller than the potatoes)
1/2 cup of fine chopped beans
1 big clove of garlic
1 green chilli
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/8 tsp of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
salt to taste
few sprigs of coriander leaves
Take 2 tsp of oil and when it is warm enough add the onions and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the green chili and garlic, fry for a minute on low/medium heat. Toss in the capsicum or bell peppers and saute again for a minute or two on medium flame. Follow it with the potatoes, turmeric, chilli powder and little salt just enough for the potatoes and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetable and the rest of the required salt and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on low flame until the vegetables are done. Add some chopped coriander leaves in the and garam masala powder, give a stir and turn it off.
Once this masala is all cooled down, toss it with some cheese(four cheese mexican) and have it ready to be stuffed inside the dosas. If you have more cheese the dosa will hold together better. However, I did not want to compromise on the vegetables also, so used the amount that was just enough for it.
There are two ways of doing the stuffing. Cook one dosa first and cook the second one. While the second one is almost done, spread the cheese and vegetable mixture on the dosa evenly and cover it with the first dosa. Give it a few seconds, before flipping so that the dosas are stuck together. Now cook this side for about 15-20 seconds. The other way of doing it is to spread the cheese veggie mix on one half of the dosa and fold over the dosa and let it cook a few seconds on both sides until the cheese is all melted.
The dosas should not be made wafer thin. Try to keep it thicker than the paper dosa that we get at restaurants and cook it on medium flame until it is all nice brown and crispy.
Since my kids are very fond of the spinach and cheese combination, I am tempted to try that as well as a stuffing in my dosa.

PlayStation has revealed that its Go!View service, the first official PSP video download service in Europe, will launch in the UK on 30 June 2008.
Go!View will provide programming from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, sport and movies for PSP owners and will let them create their own individual TV schedule on their PSP - to watch whenever and wherever they choose.
Go!View will work on either a subscription or pay-per-view basis and users will need to register on the Go!View website where they can then download content to the PSP via their PC rather than via Sky box hook up.
Sony also revealed that they are looking to bring the service direct to the PlayStation 3 as well, although no timescale was given for that possibility.

I just love Mebane Faber and the posts that he writes about.
Last week, I was JUST looking at the exact same asset allocations strategy which he just updated here, but I couldn't find it again until he posted it!
Now, this is an asset allocation strategy that I would really feel comfortable with and be able to sleep well at night. The allocation is very mathematically based, and the results are also very pleasant to look at. I think managing to outperform the traditional 60/40 is quite an achievement for most portfolios.
My only gripe about it is that there are no statistics regarding the prevailing market "style", which is the type of growth and inflation it is in. Also, there isn't a way to capitalize more on 1 strategy, nor is there any indicator to signal the movement from 1 to the other. Perhaps all you can do is to monitor the returns to see which quadrant has the most positive returns.
It has one of the lowest standard deviations and drawdowns, as well as the most number of positive months. I have to admit that the CAGR is not fantastic relatively, but as a standalone number, I think that 9.21% is still pretty good!
I think what is interesting here to me is the fact that the allocation to bonds is only at 42%. While this seems like a roughly overall nice lower percentage, equities are only at 24% while commodities make up a whooping 17% of this portfolio. Lastly, a huge 17% allocation is set aside for cash.
Now, if you remove the cash portion of the portfolio and look at it then, this portfolio looks rather similar to the other portfolios that we have, except for the exceptionally heavier weighting in commodities.
All in all, I think this is yet another great place to start looking and understanding about great buy-and-hold diversified asset allocation portfolios.

Two wandering souls discover that true love needs no words in this explosive, fantastical novel from Vonnie Davis.
Somehow able to telepathically communicate with animals, Paisley Munro has found meaning in her so-called gifts by working as a veterinary assistant. But while traveling to Scotland for a relative's funeral, Paisley fears that she really has lost her mind. Out in the highlands, she hears distinctly human thoughts coming from a wild bear. Terrified and desperate, she returns to the lodge and collapses in the powerful arms of its owner, a mysterious man with whom she shares a simmering attraction.
Creighton Matheson and his fellow shape-shifters have been roaming this land freely for centuries. Now Paisley may inherit his home, putting his kind in grave danger. His mistrust only deepens when he realizes she can read his mind. Yet he cannot deny that this tantalizing woman makes him burn with desire—and hunger for the prospect of a tender love. Now Creighton must decide which would hurt more: revealing the truth or losing Paisley forever.
My Thoughts
As a young child of 12 Paisley became aware of her talent to communicate with animals, rather than supporting their child her parents accused her of lying and being crazy leading to her going to live with her grandmother permanently.
Having grown up with the loving support of her grandmother Effie Paisley turned her gift into a career as a veterinary assistant, although it made her happy she felt the need to have a family which in turn prompted her to become engaged to a man who never saw her as a person but rather as a ticket to riches by capitalizing on her talent.
Paisley Munro finds herself on a journey to Scotland with her grandmother Effie, who has come for a relatives funeral and reading of his will as Effie is due to inherit according to the late Angus's lawyer.
Upon arriving in Scotland Paisley and her grandmother are driven to their lodging by two of the Matheson brothers and once there she is surprised to find herself able to hear the thoughts of Laird Creighton Matheson, the eldest son.
The events that unfold from that point on include the bonding moments that come about as Paisley helps Creighton deliver a mare of her twin foals, the passionate attraction that develops between the two no matter how much they try to fight it's pull, the revealing of a family curse that may soon mean the end of Creighton's life, unveiling of the resident family ghosts and several plots that involve drugs as well as the kidnapping and rescue of Effie.
By the time we get to the end of this story all the secrets that abound are revealed and Creighton and Paisley find that the truths they share have made their bond deepen, as does the love they both felt for one another which has only grown the longer they are together.
I am a fan of shape-shifters, and like others who have pointed out their own enjoyment of having the main animal that the characters change into as bears,this paranormal twist makes for a nice change.
Everyone deserves to be shown acceptance for who they are, believe you me Creighton Matheson does a first rate job of it many times over and he melts the readers heart as much as Paisley's with his sweetly poetic words as well as his actions.
I also particularly loved the fact that the stormy relationship with Creighton and Paisley was full of give and take on both their parts, his sweetly romantic side was nicely offset with the possessiveness that dominated most of their interactions. I also enjoyed the fact that Paisley finally allowed herself to emerge from the shell that she had created very early to keep herself from being made fun of, it was so fantastic for her to be around people that actually thought her talent made her special rather than a freak of nature!

we wanted to check out the fish heaven: tsukiji fish market 築地市場 in tokyo. it's 'the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind'. we also planned to eat at sushi dai which is one of most popular sushi joint in tsukiji fish market.
sushi dai opens 5am and ppl start to wait in line as early as 3am. we took a cab there 3am in the morning and the cab fare costs approximately $45 from shibuya to tsukiji.
well thats very unfortunate. i was pretty sad and angry.
they told us all the restaurants inside the fish market were closed as well, but there are some restaurants outside the fish market still open. so we started walking around to find some sushi. i aint leaving here if i dont get some sushi today!
indeed, there are a lot seafood restaurants around the area since its a huge tourist spot.
so we walked around more to see which one we wanted to eat at
we finally decided to eat at Sushi Zanmai jus simply because the restaurant was almost full 4am in the morning.
o-toro, toro, tuna, broilld toro, negitoro, tuna roll – i cant describe how fresh the fish was. they were not only fresh but also so butteryyyy!!! the major difference between these fish and the fish ive had elsewhere is the butteriness. probably the best pieces of fish ive ever had.
ark shell, sprawn, horse mackerel, squid, tuna, hamachi, toro, snow crab, okura, uni, salmon roe, tamago, and eel. i was in heaven.
i love all kinds yogurt drinks.
i got the soy milk one OMG SO GOOD!

I love Eco-Amie! This is a true passion of mine: our Earth, our impact on her and how we can do our part to exist gently on her so she is preserved for our children and generations to come as well as just plain being healthy. Whether it be eating healthy, exercising, cooking, baking, you get the drift! I have so many ideas in my head, I am constantly living blog posts and it has been a little overwhelming! Good. And overwhelming.
Last night, I opened a book I having been taking my time reading, Off The Mat: Confessions of A Yogini, Book 7: The Crown Chakra by Dana Layon. Dana owns a yoga studio in the area I live in and also writes Weekly Oms. I have subscribed to Dana's Oms for almost a year, and every Friday I read words that inspire me and make me think on levels that are usually unchallenged. Dana recently had her Om's published and they became a series of seven books, one for each chakra.
So tonight I put my feet up against the wall and started reading my book feeling like I needed direction with Eco-Amie. I started reading words that described my life and how I am feeling at the moment...good, overwhelmed, and a sense of knowing that I am going the right direction. Dana says, "Take the seed you just planted within you and cultivate it slowly...Plant the seeds. Watch them grow. Do it for you and then see what kind of garden you get out of it."
I will continue to water, tend to my garden and watch it blossom into whatever it will be.

Last Saturday when we went on an outing to a museum, a magical thing happened…
A large butterfly landed on my daughter's arm while we were walking through the conservatory. It was a beautiful image of innocent wonder. It's symbolic of transformation and that is exactly what is going on in our lives right now. If you haven't heard, you can read about how much our lives have changed here.
Life has been chaotic, but in that chaos beauty remains and I have lately forgotten to see that. That Saturday, in that simple moment, I saw the magic that happens when love abounds and you trust in God to make you happy wherever you are. Just like that butterfly that trusted Saffron not to crush it, I started trusting again in something bigger and more powerful than I. I started trusting that everything will be alright and that this chaos will transform into something more manageable. Adjustments are hard, but I have the most supportive and compassionate husband that holds my hand through and through.
I am reminded how blessed and simple my life is and that magic is everywhere and in everything if you just be still and trust.

Hawkins' commitment to Quality, Health and Safety was recognised in June when the Auckland Infrastructure team won the over $10 million project category at the Inaugural Hynds Construction Awards.
Hawkins faced strong competition to take out the award for the Daldy Linear Park and Halsey Street Upgrade at Wynyard Quarter, Auckland Waterfront.
Project Manager Paul McNeil accepted the award at a Gala dinner where it was judged the winner specifically due to its excellent health and safety planning, the level of challenge and difficulty of the project, Hawkins' effective stakeholder management and for the high level of satisfaction overall by the client, Waterfront Auckland.
"I'm thrilled for the project team," says McNeil, "But also for Auckland's residents and visitors who can now enjoy an award-winning as well as a world-class facility."
Project Manager Paul McNeil proudly displays the trophy won for the Daldy Linear Park and Halsey Street Upgrade.

It was a day of tears and small successes,
Of animal hair on my shirt and up my nose,
Of being cranky and feeling frustrated with myself.
Every day just another rollercoaster of emotions.
At the end of it all though I feel glad that another day brings me closer
To my ideal class.
I know that I am frustrated because I know their potential and what they are capable of!
But they are coming along as fast as they can and I don't know if I thank them enough.
For what to me seems an inch, when I really step back it's like a mile in the big picture!
