She is a timeless beauty.

Daring Kelly Brook does the splits (and treats Craig Revel-Horwood to a kiss) as Stricktly Come Dancing tour kicks off
Her dancing is probably a little rusty after spending the last few months performing on stage in Calendar Girls.
But Kelly Brook stole the show last night as the Strictly Come Dancing tour got off to a stunning start in Manchester.
The model-turned-actress, 30, looked in great shape and full of energy as she was put through her paces for the tour's opening night.
Taking the stage in an eye-catching red leotard with frills, Kelly dazzled both the judges and the crowd with a daring routine.
After the judges gave their verdict on her performance. Kelly raced over to Craig Revel-Horford to give him a playful kiss on the cheek.
Kelly had pulled out of the show in 2007 after her father died and the series was eventually won by Alesha Dixon, who went on to replace Arlene Phillips on the judging panel.
The line up for the tour includes eight stars from the show past and present.
Five contestants from the most recent series are takling part, headed up by winner Chris Hollins along with Natalie Cassidy, Ricky Groves, Ali Bastian and Zoe Lucker.
Kelly makes a comeback along with 2008 competitot Austin Heatley and 2006 winner, cricketer Mark Ramprakash.
And fans of the original judging line-up will be pleased, with Arlene Phillips making her return to the panel alongside Len Goodman, Craig Revel Hornwood and Bruno Tonioli.
New judge Alesha Dixon has not been signed to take part in the five-week long tour.

Kelly Brook waltzes on to Loose Women in a pair of Posh stilettos... but confesses she struggles to walk in them
Victoria Beckham may well be suffering from bunions after years of wearing vertiginuous heels.
But kelly Brook hasn't succumbed to the condition yet- and yesterday she marched on to Loose Women in a pair of sky high stilettos to prove it.
The 30-year-old, currently starring in the Strictly Come Dancing tour which opened in London last night, drew gasps from the panel as she tottered on to the show in a pair of pink suede Christian Louboutin 'Maggie' heels.
The tottering £595 stilettos, which boast a 5 1/2 inch heel, are the same heels worn by Beckham to a Los Angeles basketball game in October, but a different colour.
Asked by panelist Sherrie Hewson if she had bunions like Mrs. Beckham's Kelly replied: 'No not yet. But I will do if I keep wearing shoes this high.'
But it seems the former Calendar Girls star is still to master the art of walking in them.
Telling the panel, which also included Kate Thornton, Jane McDonald and Lesley Garrett, about how her boyfriend Danny Cipriani bought her the heels, Kelly said: ''I don't think he realises how difficult it is for me to walk in them.'
She added: 'I think they are designed to make your bum look small and stop you running away from the boys. That's why they buy them for you.
The brunette also shared some banter with Thornton, one of the hosts of the Strictly tour, which is touring up and down the country.
Thornton praised Kelly for her dancing skills in opening the shows and complimented her on her derrier.
Kelly said' I would be part of Strictly forever. It is so much fun.'
Last night, Kelly showed off her dancing prowess when the Strictly Come Dancing tour came to London' Wembley Arena.
While Kelly was partnered with Brendan Cole when she appeared on the show in 2007, this time she is dancing with Matthew Cutler, who won the show the same year with Alesha Dixon.
As well as dancing Kelly keeps herself in shape with cycling and pilates.
She said: ' I look after my body. I like to go for a run, to get my blood pumping. I always feel energised after I've done some exercise.
'I like cycling and pilates, too. And you won't see me falling out of nightclubs in a sorry state.
'When you are in the spotlight, you can't get really drunk or make a fool of yourself, but then, I don't feel the need to be the centre of attention. I get enough of that anyway.'

Swap 'til you drop
The end of February it may be, but for most of us, the Christmas pinch is only just wearing off. For once, however, you can put your purse away - the Skinny Cow is launching a celebrity charity swap shop. Hosted by Kelly Brook, the Skinny Cow is hoping to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care by inviting celebrities - and you girls - along to swap your old clothes for something more exciting, without exchanging a penny.
The likes of Holly Willoughby and Sarah Harding will be joining Kelly Brook in donating their wears for fashion fans to get their hands on, with every item swapped by a celebrity seeing up to £1000 donated to the charity.
Two swap shops will be taking place in London and Manchester on March 20 and March 21 respectively, and for a chance to get involved, you'll need to befriend the Skinny Cow on Facebook, where 150 girls will be selected, along with a friend, to attend either the London or Manchester event. For those not attending the events, you can still join in. On March 26, a Facebook skinny dip will allow you to battle it out against fashionistas to win goodies from the comfort of your own sofa.
Hope they raise a ton of money. Those pics are from the annual Skyride event that took place last Fall. Didn't get around to posting them earlier. lol. In the top pic Kelly's riding with the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

Kelly Brook goes back to her pin-up roots as she becomes the new face of Ultimo
Fourteen years after she started her career as a lingerie model, Kelly Brook is returning to her pin-up roots as the new sexy face and body of Ultimo.
Now a mature 30-year-old, brook shows she's still got the killer body she firt flaunted as a teen in the sensual new ad campaign.
Brook's new role as the Ultimo girls sees her following in the footsteps of previous models Mel B., Helena Christensen, Rachel Hunter, Sarah Harding, & Melinda Messenger.
The Kent-raised actress' new position is her first high-profile modeling job since turning 30 last November.
Having been voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM magazine it's now surprise her hour-glass figure has been chosen forthe new Ultimo Spring Campaign.
Ultimo creator Michelle Mone OBE said 'Kelly is a natural beauty and is effortlessly sexy, making her the perfect choice for Ultimo. She epitomizes the Ultimo woman and looks incredible in our new design.
'This campaign is our most striking yet and represents the quality of the new range; irresistibly sexy luxurious, aspirational and feminine. The pictures really do speak for themselves.'
Brook enthused: 'I'm really delighted to be fronting Ultimo's new campaign. Working with Ultimo was great and I think the end result looks fantastic.
Ultimo is one of the UK's biggest lingerie brands, so I've always been aware of their product and high=profile campaigns. They've had so many gorgeous women model for them over the years so it was really flattering to be asked to take over from Mel B as the brand's ambassador.'
In a recent interview, Brook admitted how amazed she was the she was still landing lingerie campaigns at the age of 30.
She said: 'Most people are losing their lingerie campaigns at 30, not getting new ones.'
As well as modeling, Brook is currently preparing for big screen fame when horror movie Piranha 3-D is released this summer.
If anyone hasn't seen these pics & I don't get to posting them, they're at Daily Mail's site.

Kelly: Piranha is big, fun, B-movie
Kelly Brook has joked that she won't be picking up an Academy Award for her next film, Piranha 3-D.
The Strictly Come Dancing star will play Danni Arslow in the 3-D remake of the original horror film, released this summer, alongside Elisabeth Shue, Richard Dreyfuss and Jerry O'Connell.
''It's just a big, fun B-movie, lots of boobs, blood, gore and drama - I don't think I'll be getting any Oscars for it,'' she said.
''In Piranha, there's lots of cool people. It's about a lot of fish that eat a lot of buff boys and big-boobied girls. It's all set during spring break.''
Kelly denied she plans to move to Hollywood but revealed she would like to appear on the big screen more.
''No, but I'd love to do more films. I really enjoy it. I love working in Los Angeles, and I like working on films,'' she said.
She revealed she was picked up for the part by director Alexander Aja - while she was eating.
''I was sitting in a restaurant and the director came up and said, ''I think you'll be right for this movie I'm doing,'' and then when I read the script, I thought, ''Oh yeah, thanks, it's not really a compliment,'' Kelly added.

Kelly Brook is schedule to be on the June 2010 cover of FHM. That issue should be at retailers this month. It's the first time since 2005 she'll be on the cover of FHM.

She does mention that she gets bored if stays at a place too long though loves the U.K. The trailer of Piranha 3D is also up there.

Kelly Brook has agreed to pose for Playboy. Kelly's agent , Jonathan Shalit told NY Daily News this: ''[Kelly is] absolutely thrilled about the shoot. It's such a great honor for her, especially when you think about the icons that have graced the cover of the magazines over the years.''
I did not expect this to happen. Good luck to her. I'll try to get some FHM pics of her put up soon.

Big news about Kelly Brook very recently. Danny Cipriani & her have decided to breakup with each other. There is a lengthy story about it at mirror.co.uk Wish them the best of course.
Also Kelly & Ultimo have parted ways. The pics I saw of her from Ultimo were pretty good. Kelly's FHM pics this month are even better. Here are some of Kelly from her eyeglasses campaign last month.

monstersandcritics.com has announced that Kelly Brook is scheduled for a cameo in the T.V. show ''Skins''.She will be playing a Fitness Instructor named ''Jemima''. She filmed it this week & is scheduled to be on E4 in January. Skins is a funny show. I've seen some it on DVD. Not all though. Piranha 3D is of course almost in theaters & here's a recent quote from Kelly about it from the Daily Mail ''If people want to cast me in roles for my body or how I look, I'm just going to embrace that, because that's not going to be the case forever.'' ''It doesn't make me any less important than anyone else in the movie just because I'm in a bikini. That's just the role I play. It's as much a part of the story as the piranhas and everything else.''
I'm just glad she gets to be in this movie.

the worst kind of navel-gazing: you'd think I'd learn something, living in a Buddhist country
Yesterday evening the Kandy Gang (Pvt. Ltd.) went up to Helga's Folly, the wackily decorated posh hotel above the lake, for food and conversation and some enriching experiences. Ask me later about the enrichments: not a lot of effect for me, but Lisa was sure having fun. The gang, at this juncture abbreviated of key members (Jill!), consisted of Lisa (Fulbright), Gavin (Fulbright), Haakon (Norwegian social anthropologist at Peradeniya [SAP]), Julia (Austrian SAP), and Sarah (ISLE '02). In several permutations the gang was together at the Kandy seder on Friday—a success, mostly—and Herath's amazing dinner and boozing and betel party on Saturday, so it's been a klatschy couple of days.
Helga's is a great place. The food is excellent (and expensive) and the décor beyond description. The whole place is painted with murals and papered with family photos and news clippings—Helga's daughter is the fashion designer Selina Blow, and lots of her family are married to royalty or prominent European and Sri Lankan aristocracy. There are statues and sculpture and scary candelabra and rich draperies and mirrors and throw pillows all over the place. It's sort of Kandyan-crafts-meets-satanist-bordello; rather unusual in a country where the prevailing standard of decorating calls for kitten posters and plastic flowers. It's a good place to be in an altered state—they have soft things to sit on and weird stuff to gawp at.
It's a bit of a walk from town—20 minutes if you keep moving, more if you stop to take in the lovely views as the street winds among the quiet guesthouses above the lake. The return trip always feels faster, though at 10pm one wants to get home and not dally in the dark. As the posse was walking down to the road (where five well-fed butts, as well as the rest of our bodies, managed to fit in one trishaw) Lisa was talking about how most of her friends are really Type A personalities… somehow I was accused/described as such. Mercy!
I replied that I'm not Type A like Lisa is Type A. To this Gavin smirked as he is wont to do, and so good at: Gavin Irby = Gavin Smirkby. With great finality, he said oh yeah you are. That stung, somewhat, though I'm not sure why. Is that generally considered a dirty word, an insult, or is that just me being sensitive? That I know I am: overly aware of perceived slights and insults.
I thought being Type A meant being organized, outgoing, a leader, controlling, and productive. I am sort of halfway some of those things, eh? I like the accoutrements of organization (notebooks, stickers, pens) but that's classable with my love of stationery and office supplies generally, and I am not really planful in the way I'd like to be. Though I like being around people, I'm desperately shy to start off and have real trouble feeling comfortable around new friends. I'm bossy, but not a natural leader, at least not since high school. Controlling: yes. Absolutely. But I want to be less so. And productive? No, no no no, to my great chagrin and disappointment.
In short: I am too down on myself to be really Type A. Gavin would say that being so down on myself is just a further symptom—if it's not crucial to be perfect then why care?—and would probably further note that this dissection of the subject is classically Type A. Okay, fine, I don't know enough about this theory-of-personality to argue back. But I don't want to be like that, or like this. My disillusioned, depressive periodic yearning and striving is probably the best (worst) possible indictment of my personality flaws.
It's pretty futile to want things to be different, eh? Such is the teaching of Lord Buddha. The unplumbable paradox is that by developing one's willful ignorance of the broken state of self and world, those flaws are diminished, rendered impotent. When I get really stuck in a period of hateful navel-gazing I start feeling like self-improvement is a Magic Eye trick. One concentrates on something (work, friends, etc) outside the frame of the problem (me) and somehow meaning emerges from frustration.
Yet I can't figure out whether I am frustrated with myself because I fail to do the things I want to do, or because I am the kind of person who fails at things—am I an essentially okay but lazy/undirected being, who should concentrate, or am I a catastrophe of self-centered torpor? This is a very American problem—Yankee work ethic meets overeducated, spoiled only-child-hood, meets culture of critically-introspective individualism. Bottom line: all this thought-proliferation is pointless.
I'm not depressed, don't worry, just annoyed with myself lately and feeling that time is running out. I need to get up earlier in the mornings, write more, change some habits. Eat more leafy green vegetables, do more aerobic exercise. Does everyone else feel they are living in a perpetual present? I have trouble believing in and envisioning the future. Years ago my father told me that I was a more creative person than he: he can't do things if he can't imagine them, and he can't imagine a lot of things. I think I've become that way too (if I ever was different). At the same time I have plans and hopes I never anticipated. What it boils down to is this: can one manage one's own growing-up, one's future, or does it just happen? I've heard the message that life-course is subject more to Serendipity than Intent so many times that I have practically no attachment to Intent any more. That seems like a bad thing, no?
I don't want to later look back on my life and see only accidents and happenstance. It would be better to have passions and goals to start from, discover, return to, develop.

Q-Some time ago, my wife and I moved to a retirement facility so we would have a bit more social life than was possible before. However, ever since we arrived, I have been unable to sleep well and only get a few hours each night. Will this loss of sleep cause me any harm?
A-It`s not how many hours of sleep that count, or even if the sleep is light or interrupted that is important, but rather how well you rested. If you still feel perky in the morning, no matter what pattern your sleep took, you`re fine and no harm will occur.

We're Back... Day 291 30AUG09
We got to the hospital around 9:00 and settled into our room. Josh got his port accessed, blood drawn, urine sampled, will get x-rays and probably a CT scan tonight and we will wait for results. Hopefully this will be one of our short visits, we have places to go people! We would have been at the clinic tomorrow for chemo anyway so he will just get his Vincristine on the TCA. Right now we are desperately hoping for negative cultures, good blood work results, and clear scans.
With any luck, which he so deserves, this will be a two maybe three day thing and we will be out in time to get ready for Rock Camp at Disney. In the meantime we are officially back in gypsy mode...

Sometimes, in the midst of my pursuits, I forget about this wonderful little hobby called blogging.
I forget that writing a post doesn't take that long as long as I know what I want to write and that I'm straightforward.
Be straightforward. A timesaver.
Yam Chocolate Chip Cookies
But sometimes, being terse doesn't tell you the whole story does it? Like, where did I get the recipe? Why is there a discrepancy between the recipe in the picture and the one I posted below it?
Let's back track a bit shall we?
The original recipe was Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I got the recipe from the boyfriend's friend who claimed the cookies were his most famous recipe (which he initially obtained from another friend).
I didn't have all the ingredients on hand the day I decided to try out the recipe but knew I could substitute certain ingredients, such as pumpkins for yams.
It worked. The cookies turned out moist, soft and fluffy.
The picture I took of the recipe was my second attempt at these cookies since the first ones were eaten so quickly. I halved the recipe, thus the altered measurements in parenthesis.
All of you are more than welcome to try out the original and let me know how it goes, yeah?
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 c. butter
1 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. canned pumpkin
2 1/2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1-2 c. chocolate chips
nuts (optional)
For those sticklers who noticed that my cookies did not have chocolate chips in them, you're right.
I'm trying to be efficient remember?
I took pictures of only the first batch of cookies, which did not have chocolate chips in them. Some people in my family actually do not like chocolate.
I know. How could one not like chocolate?

text: Brand MarketingRitter, Anderman, Turner to Top Saatchi L.A.By Jack Feuer|April 28, 2003ShareBy Jack Feuer|April 28, 2003ShareLOS ANGELES Saatchi & Saatchi has tapped a trio of executives with considerable car experience to oversee its Toyota flagship office in Torrance, Calif.Kurt Ritter, 53, joins the Publicis Groupe unit as ceo from General Motors in Detroit, where he was general manager of GM's new Buick-Pontiac-GMC division. Ritter resigned from his post at GM today.Rich Anderman, 52, was named managing director and coo. He had been with Merkley Newman Harty and Partners, New York, as a senior account executive.Mark Turner, 40, was named planning director for Toyota in North America from WPP Group's Young & Rubicam, Irvine, Calif., where he had been strategic planning director."Sustaining peak performance in brand development and sales [for Toyota] is our number one challenge," said Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide ceo Kevin Roberts in a statement. "We handpicked our dream team to help us deliver on that challenge for Toyota."Ritter, a 32-year GM veteran, will report to Roberts. Anderman reports to Ritter and he is coming home to Southern California, where he was part of the team that launched Toyota's Lexus division in 1989. Turner also reports to Ritter; he led planning efforts for Y&R's Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, Sony and Mattel accounts.Ritter and Anderman effectively replace Scott Gilbert, who will become a managing partner of Saatchi's New York office in May. The search continues for a new director of media operations after Jim Helberg's departure last week.GM representative Pete Ternes said Ritter will leave GM effective April 30. Ritter had been at Chevrolet in various positions ending as general marketing manager prior to his March 1 appointment to oversee Buick-Pontiac-GM. Roger Adams will reassume responsibility for Buick until further notice while continuing to direct GM Customer Network activities, Ternes said. Adams, who was previously Buick general marketing manager, had been appointed vp of the newly former GM Customer Network last month. Lynn Myers continues as general marketing manager of Pontiac-GM, a position retained under the new structure.GM dealers were informed of the changes this afternoon in a call from Adams. Ritter announced his resignation internally this morning, Ternes said. Ritter could not be reached for comment.The resignation was "a surprise" and there was no indication Ritter was unhappy in the new position, said one GM executive, speaking on terms of anonymity. "He seemed quite energized by it." Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kjv7Xh copy Adweek Adweek

It was field day today. It was 103 degrees. I was outside from 11:10-6:00.
That was time for you to think about that. The heat index was 107, the UV Index was a 9. The ozone warning was an orange. My arms and feet are the color of a tomato and my second beer is not making them feel better yet. My classroom [possibly permanently] smells overwhelmingly of armpit, with a little sour kid + feet mixed in for good measure.
Five of the fourteen stations were water stations. Just enough time in between for each child to get wet and dry until they smelled like a moldy washcloth. We had the "We Don't Hit Other People" talk three different times until it sunk in completely. One of my freak kids got paralyzed with fear at the top of the bounce house obstacle course and claimed we were "being insensitive to his phobia of heights" when we laughed at him for screaming like a baby. My 250 pound superfluously hormoned child wore spandex. And then it got wet. I saw a lot of stuff. Quote of the day? In the midst of a sponge hurl, one of my gifted kids yells to me across the parking lot, "Hey, Mrs! Goober is an anagram of booger!" Splat. Ummkay. So, I sweated and I sweated and I sweated until field day finally ended. Then I tried not to gag on the smell of wet sock as I endured the last 30 minutes of the day.
You would think that would be enough, but after school my class was having their end of the year pool party at one little girl's house. This tradition at my school is rather nice, but I don't think it should take place on field day. My face fell when I read about the happy hour taking place after school. I quickly sniffed my pits, dried my sweat, assessed my time situation and decided there was no harm in having a quick beer before going to the pool party. After all, there's only so much one can take. So I did. Was that so wrong?
Five more days.

Things To Do is provided as a public service for local community and non-profit organizations.
If you would like items included, send them to 256 Mercer St., Stirling, N.J. 07980 by Sunday the week before you wish them to be published.
Items may also be dropped off at the newspaper office at 256 Mercer Street in Stirling.
Thursday, Dec. 14
Watchung Hills Regional High School in Warren Township will hold its annual financial aid workshop from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the school auditorium, addressing some of parents' concerns regarding college costs.
The event, scheduled by the guidance department, includes a featured speaker, Barry McCarty, dean of enrollment services at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. He will present an overview of the financial aid process and suggest useful strategies which can be used for future planning. In addition, McCarty will explain to parents the various forms and questionnaires which may be used in applying for financial assistance.
Since financial arrangements for their children's higher education may be of concern long before the students' senior year, it is suggested that parents of middle school and early secondary school students should attend, as well as parents of seniors and juniors.
"This workshop is of interest to any families who foresee college in their children's future. We welcome not only parents from schools in the Watchung Hills sending district, but parents from outside the district as well," said Ray Mammano, Watchung Hills' guidance director.
The Long Hill Township Republican club will meet at 7 p.m. at the American Legion on Union Street, Stirling. All local Republicans and independent voters are invited to attend.
The nomination and election of officers will be followed by the annual Christmas party.
Friday, Dec. 15
Watchung Hills Regional High School in Warren Township will hold its annual holiday choral concert at 7:30 p.m. at the school auditorium.
The advanced and mixed choruses will perform, as will ensembles. The public is invited, and admission is free.
Saturday, Dec. 16
"Bethlehem's Treasure," a live nativity, will be performed at Alliance Bible Church in Warren Township at 5 and 7 p.m. on this date and on Sunday, Dec. 17. Admission is free.
The Christmas story will be enhanced through music and use of live animals. Immediately following each presentation, refreshments will be served at a "Christmas Cafe" inside the church; children will be allowed to pet the animals used in the creche.
This marks the second year Alliance Bible has produced a live nativity. Last year's production was played to more than 500 community residents. The production, written and directed by Tom McKenna, incorporates various aspects of the Christmas narrative intertwined with seasonal music and live animals. More than 100 costumes have been sewn for the production, which has taken months to prepare.
The production comes from a desire by Pastor Brent Hagerty in mid-1999 to present a live nativity as a gift to the community. Several enhancements have been made to this year's version, including the addition of a 20-voice "angel choir," new lighting designs and a multimedia presentation. Several musical selections will be performed.
The church is at 52 Mount Horeb Road. For more information, call (732) 469-1425.
Sunday, Dec. 17
The famed nativity story in the Gospel of Luke, set in current times, will be acted by members of the Trinity United Sunday School at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity United Church on King George Road in Warren Township.
The story of Mary and Joseph will be set with a contemporary twist. They will find a "no vacancy" sign at the hotel and are forced to spend the night at an abandoned warehouse. Jesus is born and laid in an empty cardboard box. Everyday people of Warren Township see the star, as do the three wise men here, a doctor, a judge and a policeman.
Additionally, the story will be told in multimedia narrative form. The public is invited. For more information, call the church office at (732) 469-5044.
The annual Long Hill Township community carol sing will take place at 7:30 p.m. on the front lawn of First Presbyterian Church on Main Street in Stirling.
As in years past, following the singing the public will be invited inside the church's Pollard Hall for hot chocolate and wassail, cookies and fellowship. The church's bell choir will also play some holiday tunes.
Wednesday, Dec. 20
The Senior Citizens of Long Hill Township, Inc., will hold their Christmas party at noon at the Forest Lodge in Warren Township. Lunch will begin promptly at noon. Tickets are $18 and also include music, dancing and prizes.
Those who plan to attend or need directions should call Martha Wyatt at (908) 647-0132.

Offering improvements in agricultural yields and precision farming, hyperspectral sensors allow producers and processors to make the foods we eat safer along with providing the advantages of higher quality and hopefully, better taste. Based in Massachusetts, Headwall Photonics, designs and manufactures small, lightweight sensors that are deployed aboard airborne platforms ranging from piloted aircraft to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With experience developed within the military sector, the company has established quite a business enabling the commercial use of very small, cost-effective UAVs for remote sensing and agriculture applications.
When the world decides to beat a path to your door, what do you do? You hire great people! We're poised for big things in 2012 and terrific people are needed to help us get there. Take a look at our just-posted career opportunities!
Earlier this week, Headwall successfully completed its re-certification audit for ISO 9001:2008. We see it as a proud milestone rather than a passing fad, because Quality does matter to us! The audit was conducted by NQA, a prestigious ISO audit and surveillance company.Quality is a necessary and functionality pervasive attribute when you are an analytical instrument manufacturer such as Headwall. As our business relies on repeat OEM business or high volume spectrometer manufacture, customers expect and demand a very predictable supply chain partner.
Wrap-up from the BiOS and Photonics West conferences in San Francisco...
Headwall Photonics will be at THREE important industry conventions later this month...one on the east coast and one on the west coast! Wherever you'll be, pay us a visit!
Hyperspectral imaging is reaching into areas that are more mainstream than ever. You can actually 'see what you've been missing' with hyperspectral imaging systems, meaning that they can help solve some of the biggest challenges we face. Food can be made safer, surveillance can be more precise, health-care problems can be detected sooner, and forensic science can reach new levels of precision. Outstanding spectral and spatial resolution is the key, and that's a function of having high-efficiency, all-original diffraction gratings. Every system built by Headwall Photonics is based upon this core technology.

Gab Loves: Red, Red Wine
I don't know if it's the impending holidays, the cold weather, or my new burgundy manicure, but I'm loving the look of deep dark reds these days, especially when paired with light and dark grays, shades of pink, and warm wood tones. Something about this color palette feels very cozy like you'd just want to curl Read More

Liquid Sunshine
It's been raining for a few days now. It's only October and I'm beginning to wonder when there will be an end to this madness.
Interesting, when I searched "how much does it rain in seattle", Google pulled up Wickipedia's answer:
"One city that is known for rain is Seattle, Washington. Rain is common in the winter, but mostly the climate is cloudy with little rain. Seattle's average rainfall is 942 mm (37.1 inches) per year, less than New York City with 1173 mm (46.2 inches), but has 201 cloudy days per year (compared to 152 in New York). However, it should be noted that Seattle lies in the rain shadow of the nearby Olympic Mountains, with some locations on the windward sides of the mountains receiving close to 5080 mm (200 inches) per year."
AND, according to local weatherman Steve Pool,
"This year seemed to be all or nothing in the rainfall department. After starting the year with a very wet January (8.39 inches) and March (6.34 inches), Mother Nature put on the rain brakes for summer, and for the second year in a row, summer rains were well below normal. We only received 0.06 inches in July and 0.32 inches in August.
But Mother Nature can make it up in a hurry. We went from a dry 0.89 inches in September to a record 8.90 inches in October (including the record 5.02-inch rain day on Oct. 20.)
Put it all together, and we ended up with 41.21 inches of rain for the year, well above the average of 37.07 inches. But it was nowhere near our wettest year of 54.61 inches in 1950." (I think this is from last year...)

Sunflower experiments
So I thought I would experiment to see if I could pick it up - and it was only on the fourth attempt that I felt it was loose enough to be really vibrant.
Once you've seen all four, please do tell me what you think... and which is your favourite!

Rules/Laws/Miscellaneous "Things" that Should Be Implemented

Chinese meat producer Shuanghui Group has agreed to acquire leading global pork firm Smithfield Foods for about $4.7 billion. If regulatory conditions are met, this could be the largest takeover of a U.S. company by a Chinese buyer to date. Under the agreement, there will be no closures at Smithfield's facilities and locations, and Smithfield's existing management team will remain in place. Upon closing of the transaction, Smithfield will become a wholly-owned independent subsidiary of Shuanghui International Holdings Limited, operating as Smithfield Foods.
Shuanghui agreed to pay $34 per share for Smithfield, marking a 31-percent premium to Smithfield's closing price on Tuesday of $25.97. Including debt, the deal values Smithfield at $7.1 billion. "This is a great transaction for all Smithfield stakeholders, as well as for American farmers and U.S. agriculture," said C. Larry Pope, Smithfield's chief executive officer.
"We have established Smithfield as the world's leading and most trusted vertically integrated pork processor and hog producer, and are excited that Shuanghui recognizes our best-in class operations, our outstanding food safety practices, and our 46,000 hard-working and educated employees. It will be business as usual–only better–at Smithfield," Pope said.
Shuanghui International is the majority shareholder of Henan Shuanghui Investment & Development company, which is China's largest meat processing enterprise and China's largest publicly traded meat products company as measured by market capitalization.
"The acquisition provides Smithfield the opportunity to expand its offering of products to China through Shuanghui's distribution network. Shuanghui will gain access to high-quality, competitively-priced and safe U.S. products, as well as Smithfield's best practices and operational expertise," Shuanghui Chairman Wan Long said.
Yesterday's "Daily Livestock Report," published by Steve Meyer & Len Steiner, Inc. said that the merger will most likely enhance U.S. pork exports to China. It makes sense for Shuanghui to own a U.S. company that will make things smoother for shipments. If that occurs, other U.S. producers and packers will see higher prices and have an opportunity to increase output to back fill the domestic pork supply, the report said. The merger may also push other U.S. firms to develop closer relationships in China, increasing U.S. exports event more.
U.S. hog and pork prices may increase in the short run if exports, in fact, grow. However, those price increases will be temporary as long as U.S. producers are not limited by policy decisions, regulations, or higher costs in reacting to higher prices, the "Daily Livestock Report" concluded.

We left NZ in the middle of the night and arrived in Australia bright and early in the morning. The kids went screaming off the plane (literally) "g'day mate" at the top of their lungs... We had no worries "mate" checking in and getting the van and in no time we were on the road again. The drive from Melbourne to Mount Gambier or as the locals say ' The Mount" was about 5 hours with a stop at McDonald's of course. I do not know if the McDonald's back home have the coffee shop attached but the Vanilla Latte was awesome.!
We had no mobile phone nor did we have the phone numbers for the Gertners so we just showed up and what a reunion it was. Cooper, Dominic,Duane,Leanne and the new puppy Ruby we waiting for us and big hugs all around. We spent the rest of the day just relaxing at their house looking at pictures, exchanging stories and watching High 5, another Australian children's signing and dancing group. We had a great meal on the" barbie"and got to bed early as we had a long day.
We all slept in well except for Jimmy and Copper as Jimmy was bored and woke him up to play.
We loaded up the vans and headeded off for a day at the playground. In fact, this sounds like all three days at "the mount" - playgrounds, beach, barbie's, wine, talk, friends, fun.... The highlight for Jimmy was the kids filled New Years Eve party where the girls chased the boys to try and kiss them and his New Years day dip in the Southern Ocean. Lest you think we were lounging at hte beach all day. The rest of South Australia had on polar fleece and scarves. Yes, Jimmy went swimming the Southern Ocean in about 50 degree weather. He is well suited for MN, I think.
Cooper is big and talkative and Jimmy's new best friend. They are very much alike and a bit of kindred souls. Dominic is a "cheeky monkey", all devilish smiles and kisses. Cooper, Dom and Billy played with trucks, bikes and cars the whole time. And, yes, we did check Billy's pockets before we left. Kay gave Leanne and makeover with blue eyeshadow and pink nail polish. Tom, Leanne, Tracy and Duane just caught up on each others lifes in the last 2 years.
I cant think of a better way to ring out 2008 and in 2009 than with good friends, healthy kids and "down time" galor. Thank you Gertners!!!!

Emily Engages Shear...Adios # 5
Satellite loops show the center of Trop. Depression Emily completely exposed at midday. NHC indicates she'll probably be reduced to just a remnant low later today as she heads away from the U.S. East coast. None of the computer models brings any storm/hurricane threat into the Gulf during the next 7-10 days. It's unlikely this quiet stretch in the Tropics will last beyond August 20th, but each week means we're closer to those Fall cold fronts. Stay tuned!

Jerry was great! Thank you for taking care of Olive.
Gerardo was awesome. He took care of our dog like his own dog. He gives updates every few hours, while also sending pictures. Our dog has enjoyed her stay.
Georgie clearly had a wonderful time, and I very much appreciated Gerardo keeping him over Easter weekend so that I could travel to be with my family.

Ron Paul – Clearly a Top-tier candidate
It appears the mainstream media (MSM) is starting to take notice of Ron Paul as a Top-tier candidate now that he has raised over $5 million dollars in the 3rd quarter. Clearly, this is a feat only capable of top candidates. Yet their bias still prevails.
They act surprised by the fact that Dr. Paul has a large Internet following but is only receiving 2 – 4% in the polls. Have they not considered that perhaps the reason for this large Internet presence is that they will not give him equal coverage on the TV, radio, or in the papers? …or that the Internet is the only forum left that hasn't been taxed and regulated by the government and henceforth is not beholding to corporate or government interests unlike themselves? They also don't seem to deem it very important to stress where the poll numbers are coming from. They are coming from calls made to republicans that voted in the 2004 primary. A good majority of this voting block are neo-cons. This is clearly not the place where Ron Paul is getting his support. His support comes from peaceful republicans, democrats, independents, libertarian and all freedom loving Americans and as such, these polls mean nothing when measuring Ron Paul's level of support.
Moreover, why do they incessantly preface Ron Paul's name with "the anti-war libertarian congressman from Texas"? They do not preface Rudy Giuliani as the liberal Republican dictator-like mayor from New York or Hillary Clinton as the pro-war socialist Senator from New York.
The media seems to think it is important to continually report, to the point of upnoxiousness, that he is an isolationist. This cannot be any further from the truth. He is a pro-defense veteran and a non-interventionist. This means he does not believe we should invade small third world countries that pose no threat to our national security but does believe we should protect our borders and trade and communicate with all nations. That is hardly an isolationist!
Finally, one last tidbit you won't hear on your TV. Giuliani, Romney, and McCain all collected lower contributions in the 3rd quarter than they received in the 2nd quarter but Ron Paul increased his by 114%.

Heartbroken And Emotionally Devastated… Woman Says She's Too Hot To Find Love
Uncategorized 2017-05-17 Nkasiobi Chukwu 4
Unlucky in love Cherelle Neille says she can't find a boyfriend – because she's just too hot.
The 26-year-old, who hails from Manchester in the UK, claims her beautiful face is a curse because potential boyfriends only see her as arm candy.
The shop assistant says her dating life has been a disaster because of this, as she finds men only want to parade her to their friends and take photos with her.
"I feel as though plain Janes have it easier because men will actually get to know their personality as their looks are merely average," Cherelle says.
"Whereas for me, it's always the wrong attention, they never want to know me as a person. Plain girls end up with the long lasting relationships and I'm the one kissing all the frogs."
Cherelle also claims her looks can make men intimidated by her, with most assuming she doesn't have a nice personality.
As a result, the stunner has given up on love and says she's sick of men objectifying her and wishes they would like her for her character rather than her appearance.
"I am sick of people assuming I am nasty when I am really a lovely person," she explains.
"My looks attract the wrong guys and it has been really hard, now I am completely over men. My last boyfriend just paraded me around to his friends and only cared about having his photo taken with me.
"No man I've met so far is ever actually interested in having a conversation with me."
Cherelle, who has more than 23,000 followers on Instagram, claims being attractive has not only impacted her love life, but also her friendships.
"Girls are jealous too, I only really have one friend," she says.
"There was this one time I was clubbing with my friend and when we were in the bathroom, loads of girls I didn't know were complimenting me, my hair and my looks.
"Then suddenly my friend walked out and left the club, and she hasn't talked to me since!"
She also receives plenty of abuse online, with people leaving nasty messages on her Instagram page.
"One girl messaged me saying 'you think you're so pretty but you're not, go kill yourself'," she says.
"Another guy recently messaged me saying 'you think you are too good for everyone.'"
The mum-of-one has been having trouble with her dating life for years.
With failed relationships and disaster dates, she wishes her looks would stop attracting the wrong attention.
"I don't want to be less pretty, I just wish men would treat me differently," she says.
"I think there is a serious problem in society today with the way they treat pretty women."

Spined Micrathena - Micrathena gracilis
I love these spiders and I've seen this particular species alot at camp. They tend to vary in color and pattern but bugguide says different:
Females are mostly white or pale yellow mottled with black or brown. They have ten spines on the chunky abdomen. Size 8-10 mm.
Males are flat with an elongated yellowish or white abdomen. They lack all but one or two of the abdominal spines and are smaller then females averaging to 4.5mm in size.
The one in this photo is a perfect example of that. They say nothing about the color of the cephalothorax or the legs. But any way at least you know what they look like. The ones that I've seen at camp were black and had black abdomens or white on the top.
They belong to the family Uloboridae :)

Share using:
John Forrest Bennett AKA "Frosty," "Papa," and "The Cross Man", 77, formerly of Burlington, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at 2:24 PM Thursday, November 2, 2017, at Barns Jewish Hospital in St Louis, MO.
Born August 1, 1940, in Quincy, IL, he was the son of Carl and Ella Mae Beers Bennett. On June 13, 1959 John married his high school sweetheart Mary Beth Weicher and the two were married for 58 years.
John spent his childhood in both Hannibal, Missouri and Burlington, Iowa where he attended Burlington High School.
He was a U.S. Navy Veteran, serving from April 16, 1959 until July 31, 1961.
John resided in Burlington Iowa for 63 years and worked at Sweetheart Bakery for 4 years and then at General Electric for 30 years. In addition, John owned/managed "The Jacket House" for over 15 years that served the Burlington Community.
He was a member of Divine Mercy Parish. John shared his faith by speaking to the parish community regarding his love and devotion to our blessed mother Mary, Jesus, and the Church with his talks entitled "The Most Holy Rosary." He also volunteered as a spiritual leader for the RCIA program through the parish.
Johns many loves included the "Casual Castle" and his log cabin that friends and family enjoyed for close to 40 years. More recent, John and Mary Beth were the host of Burlington's most famous "Garage Parties" that showcased his collection of his garage sale treasures. John was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan his entire life, loved the music of Johnny Cash, and acquired the name "The Greatest" from his Boxing hero Muhammad Ali.
John was known for making his hand-made wooden crosses and touching the lives of many he encountered. To date he has given over 1500 crosses that can be found across the country. John lived his life for his family, friends, and church and was known for his great kindness, wit and humor. He brought joy to others and put a smile on the faces of everyone he met. John's message with the wooden crosses he made was "Life can be tough, so share your cross with God and ask him for strength."
Survivors include his wife, Mary Beth (dog Cubby); seven children, Brian (Tina) Bennett, Blake (Margie) Bennett, Rock (Cindy) Bennett, Bruce (Laura) Bennett, Mick Bennett, Beth (Brian) Allen, and Tara (Dan) Schroeder; 22 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; three siblings, Bob (Donna) Bennett, Marty (George) Grimshaw, and Sherry (Dean) Kuster.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister-in-law, Donna Bennett.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh~Thielen Crematory.
Visitation will begin at noon with the family to receive friends following a 4:00 PM Rosary Service until 7:00 PM Friday, November 10, 2017 at Prugh~Thielen Funeral Home with full military honors rendered by the Burlington Area Veterans Honor Guard to conclude the visitation.
The Memorial Mass of the Resurrection for Mr. Bennett will be 10:00 AM Saturday, November 11, 2017, at Divine Mercy Parish-St. John the Baptist Catholic Church with Fr. Ed Fitzpatrick and Rev. Fr. Bill Roush officiating. A time of food and fellowship will be held in St. John's Cafeteria following the service. Burial will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Special Needs Foundation and St John's Catholic Church.

The weekend face-off between John Travolta's irreverent angel "Michael" and Tom Cruise's repentant sports agent "Jerry Maguire" ended in a split decision, as New Line and Sony each posted $12.5 million estimates and even some rival studio execs agreed the match was too close to call.
Apparently, moviegoers remained in a holiday mood as weekend ticket sales reached an estimated $91 million for all pictures grossing over $500,000. That's a 22% improvement over the Jan. 5-7 weekend last year, and only a 16% drop from the post-Christmas weekend.
Audiences had plenty of choices: There are 17 wide releases in the marketplace; of those, 10 are less than four weeks into their runs.
'Scream' surprise
Miramax/Dimension's "Scream" provided the biggest surprise of the weekend – and the holiday period. In its third weekend, the Wes Craven-helmed horror pic landed at No. 3, with a $10.1 million projected gross. The film, which reportedly cost about $15 million to make and $20 million to market and distribute, has already cumed $39.1 million since its Dec. 20 debut.
The youth-oriented pic's strong showing is particularly surprising given its release at a time of the year when movies targeted at young men have traditionally foundered. While many observers – including even some Miramax execs – believed opening "Scream" during the Christmas period was a mistake, Miramax co-chairman Bob Weinstein was convinced the counterprogramming would pay off.
"I saw it coming. There were so many of these 'upscale' films for females all fighting for the same audience," he said.
Counting down the top 10, Sony's "Jerry Maguire" negotiated its $12.5 million payday in 2,531 deals for a $4,939 per-screen average. Off just 11% from the post-Christmas weekend, the Cameron Crowe-helmed romantic comedy has cumed $83.5 million after 24 days in theaters.
" 'Jerry Maguire' started out the Christmas season at No. 1 and ended at No. 1, after surviving some tough competition," said Jeff Blake, president of Sony Pictures Releasing. Blake noted that "Maguire" has cumed $6 million more than Cruise's December 1992 film "A Few Good Men" had after its first 24 days. "Men" went on to cume $141.1 million.
New Line's "Michael" earned its wings on 2,181 clouds for a $5,731 average. Twelve days into its run, the Nora Ephron fantasy has cumed $52.8 million.
A draw?
While some box office observers differed about which of the two films would come out on top, others simply called it a draw.
Projections were hindered by the fact that New Line does not report a daily breakdown of its actual box office results. It is the only major distributor that gives out only total weekend and weekly grosses.
"Scream" scared up $10.1 million, up 11% after expanding its run from 1,450 to 1,737 screens. That's a per-screen of $5,777.
Dropping from third to fourth was Buena Vista's "101 Dalmatians," off 35% to $7.4 million on 2,702 screens for a $2,739 average. Cume after 40 days is $121.8 million.
Twentieth Century Fox's "One Fine Day" dipped just 15% to $6.8 million in 1,970 relationships for a $3,452 average. Now in its third week, the George Clooney-Michelle Pfeiffer romantic comedy has cumed $32.8 million.
While disappointed that the film did not emerge as one of the top Christmas pics, Fox senior exec VP Tom Sherak said the studio continues to support the film, which it believes can still hit $50 million in North America.
At No. 6, Paramount's "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" took the biggest hit of the top 10 pics, dropping 41% to $6 million in 2,417 situations for a $2,482 average. Still, the surprise hit has cumed a totally cool $54.4 million after 17 days.
In seventh place, Castle Rock and Columbia's "Ghosts of Mississippi" was sentenced to a $5.3 million gross in its first wide weekend. In 1,268 courtrooms, the Rob Reiner-helmed true-life drama averaged $4,180 per trial. Cume is $6.1 million.
BV's "The Preacher's Wife" was off 29% to $5.2 million in 2,001 congregations for a $2,598 average. Cume after 24 days is $37.5 million.
Ninth place was a tie between two film from Warner Bros., which suffered a dreary Christmas season: "Mars Attacks!" fell 29% to $3.6 million on 1,901 spaceships for a $1,893 average and a $34 million cume, while "My Fellow Americans" lost 14% of its support, grossing $3.6 million in 1,865 polling places for a $1,917 average. Cume after 17 days is $18.3 million.
In less than two weeks in release, Rysher and Paramount's Christmas opener "The Evening Star" fell to No. 13. Off 30% to $2.3 million on 1,268 prints, or $1,814 per screen, the "Terms of Endearment" sequel has cumed $10.1 million after 12 days.
