Mariana is excellent. I have several health issues & she has created a plan to help me reach my goals safely. Sessions are fun & productive. She encourages me to go a bit further safely. I actually look forward to our sessions. She is very supportive & provides information & suggestions particular to my issues. Totally committed to your health & well-being. A very nice, knowledgeable, talented & caring person. Highly recommend her.
I met with Sage for the first time last week. I am a beginner when it comes to yoga (I have been to a handful of classes over the last few years) so I was hoping to find someone that had the patience and the knowledge to really help me grow. We started with some exercises to help with the typical neck/back pain points I have from sitting at a desk all day. The whole experience was excellent. Sage pointed out different muscle groups that I had no idea were weak, causing pain, or on the contrary, my strong point (apparently I'm more flexible than I thought and double jointed.) What really made the experience was how knowledgeable she was. You can really tell that she knows what she is talking about. Every stretch hit the right spots I've been aching (quite literally) to relieve and she could point out certain posture behaviors I have and tips on how to correct them. If you are looking for someone to help guide you to understand your body and which type of yoga practice works for you, I highly recommend Sage.
Leigh Ann is an amazing soul. Her practice of yoga flows wonderfully and her voice is soothing to the soul. She seems to be very dedicated. I love her classes as well as her individualized assistance. She has always been upbeat and encouraging and has lots of great tips on nutrition too.
I took both group and individual instruction with Bianca. During group class she was mindful of each student's strengths and limitations and provided challenges and modifications accordingly. During private lessons she made adjustments to my postures, encouraged proper breathing, and was open to discussing dietary modifications for weight loss and general well being. Bianca is well attuned to the special needs of seniors. She is warm, receptive, full of spirit, and brings her natural intelligence and life experience to her teaching. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in a yoga practice. Jackie Giurato
Eliana creates custom sessions to meet my needs. It is perfect. I am grateful.
Awesome poolside yoga class for my sisters bachelorette party! Everyone thought the class was fun while also challenging.
Excellent yoga instructor!
Gabby was awesome! He responded to my request and kept in touch. Coming from out of town he made things easy and offered great suggestions when the weather didn't quite work in our favour (we wanted a yoga session on the beach). I definitely recommend him 🙏🏽💙
This was my very first yoga experience and it was an incredible experience. Amy did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and helping me achieve poses that exceeded what I thought I could. She created a peaceful and soothing environment that helped me really engage in the experience. I am usually not comfortable being touched (I even hate massages), but Amy's gentle approach to hands-on coaching was completely comfortable and helped me properly do the exercises. I can't wait for the next session.
Meridith was amazing. We hired her for a private yoga session for my friends bachelorette party and she brought enough mats for all 12 of us to do yoga by our pool. She took the time to talk to each of us individually before class to find out our experience levels and injuries. The 12 of us ranged from total yogis to first or second time on the mat and she was able to make the class fun for everyone. She even personalized the class to add some things in for the bride to be! She sent us awesome pictures at the end of some great poses we had done throughout class. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Lara is a beautiful person, inside and out, and a fantastic teacher. She loves yoga, and it shows. You can't help feeling peaceful after meeting Lara.
I had a personal home session with Cole and he was amazing. He's very thoughtful and carefully explains each pose I am turning into to make sure I do not hurt myself. I requested his yoga instruction specifically to help stretch my lower back. Each movement and pose targeted my needs thanks to his expertise. I can't wait to see him again.
I've received private yoga instruction several times through Emily. She is professional, reliable, punctual, and knowledgeable about her craft. It is clear that she spends a lot of time researching and practicing yoga, reiki, and chakra balancing. I have never left my mat unhappy after a session with Emily! I would reccommend her to anyone with any skill level, and I will continue to come back!
Christina is such a wonderful yoga teacher. I never leave a class feeling any less then amazing. Her yoga classes are very enjoyable.
Elisa came to our house in Miami Beach to do a private yoga session. She was an awesome instructor who really tailored the session to our needs. She was great at helping us with adjustments to help us learn the right poses. She's coming back on Wednesday for another session!!
Shannon's knowledge, creativity and expertise, coupled with her compassion and sense of humor, enables her to be an outstanding yoga instructor. I highly recommend practicing with Shannon!
Margaret's energy is so beautiful. Her classes are soothing, but still a great workout. I highly recommend letting her guide your yoga flow - you'll be glad you did!
When I began attending Roni's yoga classes just under a year ago, I noticed that the quality of my practice changed; it became more mindful and focused. I also noticed that I was willing to challenge myself thanks to Roni's ability to create a safe, fun environment. Roni is a patient teacher who adjusts each class to match your energy physically, mentally and emotionally. Taking her classes is now an integral part of my life. I feel lucky to have found such a talented and generous teacher. Additionally Roni is a skilled massage therapist who understands how to read the needs of your body. She creates a warm and inviting environment that allows you to relax and fully benefit from the service.
Practice health, abundance, faith and grace, living a deeply fulfilling life of purpose, feeling the many blessings that find us! I do yoga sessions, spiritual consultations, sound-based healing as well as sacred studies.
I teach yoga such as hatha and vinyasa flow yoga, Bikram, yoga fusion, chair yoga, restorative yoga, yogalates, yogatone, which is 1/2 yoga and 1/2 abs, Zumba and yodance or yoga and dance.
I offer hot power yoga with a mix of yoga walls, applying alignment with fit walls, vertical training and alignment of the body.

The storm was everything XC Weather had promised, with Sue Cheadle reporting gusts of 103 mph at Sanna and Kilchoan Early Bird sending this picture of the sea this morning. Here on the south side of the peninsula we had a wild night, with gale force winds, thunder and lightning around 10.15 last night, and the lights dimming several times during the electrical storm and again around three in the morning - yet, amazingly, the power was still on this morning when we woke. We were just thanking our lucky stars when, at nine, the power went - a transformer blew up near Caim - and it's been off until just now, a quarter to five.
Maell mo Chridhe. But elsewhere, things had been much more lively.
Special thanks to Kilchoan Early Bird for pictures 1, 5, 6 and 7.

Why you need to know now
In 2010 the top 5,000 or so companies in the UK will have to buy "allowances" to cover the carbon emissions of their group in the UK. The Government are setting up a Carbon Reduction Commitment ('CRC') Scheme. The Climate Change Act came into force last week containing just a broad outline of the Scheme.
Draft Regulations with much needed details are to be published in February 2009 but consultation about the Scheme has already taken place so there are some things that we know big businesses need to start doing now and to prepare for emissions trading!
This client alert is aimed at those organisations who have not yet considered the CRC in relation to their UK business. It is a brief introduction. We can help you with more detailed information once the Regulations are available.
Who will be in the Scheme
The business sectors that will be involved in the CRC Scheme are the large financial corporations and institutions, multiple retailers, supermarkets, hotel chains and large office occupiers. The public sector will also have to comply.
Some industries are high intensity energy users and already have to comply with the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme ("ETS"). The CRC will catch low intensity energy users who use a significant amount of electricity in 2008 some of which is supplied through a half hourly meter. If you have at least one half hourly meter and expect to pay over £500,000 for electricity this year you are likely to be in the Scheme - for more information see below.
UK parent companies will be responsible for the compliance of the whole of their UK group and franchisors for their franchisees – more below. Can we hyperlink to later in the text?
The Scheme (in brief)
Electricity use now governs whether the Scheme will apply to you but if it does the Scheme will cover gas, electricity and other fuels (other than transport fuel) used by the organisation.
In late 2009 the affected organisations will have to report on their electricity usage for 2008 and gear up for compliance with the Scheme in 2010.
In 2010 those organisations in the Scheme will have to collect information about almost all the energy they use as this shows what their carbon emissions are. They will have to buy allowances to cover every tonne of carbon emitted and deal with the reporting requirements to be set up by the Scheme. The first requirement to buy allowances will arise in 2011.
The next phase of the Scheme is to reward those organisations which improve their energy efficiency overall and penalise those that do least well. A league table of the Scheme members' energy efficiency performance will be drawn up. The incentives will be a refund of part of the cost of the allowances and the penalty will be a surcharge.
There is an initial simplified start to the CRC Scheme for the first three years so that businesses can gain the expertise they need in monitoring energy consumption and forecasting their emissions to buy the necessary allowances. They will have some time to create the management strategies they will need and after that in 2013 emissions trading will come into full effect. This is being called a cap and trade scheme.
Who will be in the CRC Scheme?
If you have half hourly meters for your electricity supplies and your UK group uses over 6,000 kilo watt hours (kWh) in 2008 (estimated cost being over £500,000) you will fall within the Scheme. In the UK (but excluding Northern Ireland) half hourly meters are installed by the electricity suppliers when you are a significant user of electricity. If you do not know whether you have half hourly meters (and the definition of half hourly meters is likely to be a bit convoluted) then you can ask your electricity supplier. Although electricity use in Northern Ireland will count towards your supply calculation it is metered differently to the rest of the UK and a different test will apply.
If only some of your electricity supply comes from half hourly meters but your overall consumption for 2008 is going to be more than 6,000 kWh then for now the only safe thing is to assume you will be within the Scheme.
Earlier this year, the electricity suppliers sent information to all those organisations receiving half hourly bills inviting them to log their contact details so you may already be involved. A registration pack should be supplied to organisations with half hourly meters in July 2009. The Scheme begins in April 2010.
The ETS will not double up with the CRC Scheme but how overlap is to be avoided will be determined by the detail of the Regulations.
Which UK Company in the Group will have to comply?
Not all corporations operate a simple group structure where there is a parent with a series of wholly owned subsidiaries. If they do then the ultimate UK parent will have to comply for the whole of the UK group.
Joint venture companies will be treated as separate entities for CRC if no party owns more than 50% but a shareholding of 51% or more will put the joint venture company into the CRC group of its majority shareholder.
Companies may share an electricity supply and you will need to know who signed the electricity supply contract. That counterparty to the supply contract will be the relevant company for CRC purposes.
The Government are proposing that a UK franchisor will have to comply for its UK franchisees. Again we need details from the draft regulations to understand how that will work in practice.
The company complying will need to keep separate records for its subsidiaries (or franchisees).
How will this affect landlords and tenants?
Many occupiers receive their electricity supply via their landlord by paying a fair proportion of the landlord's electricity supply through a service charge. It is not possible to predict how the Scheme will work within existing service charge clauses; how to deal with any refund received by the landlord for energy efficiencies made in the year where CRC costs were paid by the tenant in the previous year, let alone the complications of how to deal with assignments of leases part way through the Scheme years.
The Government report on the consultation anticipates CRC costs being passed on to tenants and refund payments going into a separate fund designated for energy efficiencies but that does not give us any clues about how the energy efficiencies of a large group of companies can effectively be translated down to individual occupiers.
Will it be sensible for landlords to help as many of their tenants as possible to sign up directly for electricity rather than have a central supply and recharge the costs? We can only try to work this out when we see the detailed Regulations.
What should be done now?
- Work out if you are likely to fall within the CRC Scheme. Contact your supplier now if you do not know whether you have any half hourly meters.
- If you have a complex group structure, work out now how it works for the Scheme
- Set up effective reporting from subsidiaries to head office (or from franchisees to the franchisor) covering electricity this year and later all fuel sources (other than transport)
- Start to consider your long term energy management strategy
- Remember that all this compliance might lead to lower fuel consumption and significant savings for your organisation as well as a modest refund of the allowances you have to purchase
- If your stress levels are rising at the thought of all this take some comfort from the fact that the Scheme is not a revenue generating exercise by the Government. The refunds to the most energy efficient organisations will make the Scheme revenue neutral!
The small print
The Government have committed to the CRC in the Climate Change Act. This alert is based on the consultations to date but we need to see the detail of the Regulations to work out the detailed consequences for us and our clients.

Book Review: The Happy Isles of Oceania by Paul Theroux
What would you do if you were a world famous travel writer who's marriage was in the final stages of death and you were an emotional wreck? If you were Paul Theroux, you would set out on along adventure to find places that are beautiful and happy - like the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Starting in Australia, Theroux takes his portable kayak to over 51 islands exploring the lands, culture, and people he meets along the way. Aa he journeys you get to delve deep into the personality of such an interesting man; his wit, biases, religious views, insecurities, and his search for peace and paradise. The author shares his unique experience of each place highlighting both the weaknesses and strengths of the people he runs into. The book falls strongly into the travel genre but is quite readable and should appeal to everyone.
The best part of this book is its uniqueness. It is a kayaking book, a travel book, a book about culture, a book about divorce, a book about happiness, and a book about history - all wrapped up into one. Sometimes Theroux villifies some of the people he meets quite harshly (like the Australians and missionaries) and you get a sense that is some deep insecurity in him. Strangely I found this trait somewhat endearing. His descriptions of the islands themselves are quite fetching and if anyone was thinking about taking an extended vactation (or even relocating) to the Pacific this would be a great resource as Theroux often compares the islands (pros and cons) to each other as he paddles. Maps of the island show most of the places he visits and are quite handy for following his journey.
If you are a serious paddler, this book is a must add to your library. Though not strictly a "paddling" book, there is enough exotic locales to keep even the most serious paddler engaged in that aspect of his adventure. It would also be a great read if you were going on vacation somewhere tropical or if you are stuck at home experiencing cabin fever in a long, cold winter. I've read this book three times so far and have it enjoyed it immensely every time. I found that I connected with his discontent with life and his desire for solitude and paradise. His joy at finding such places is never fully realized as he reflects on being alone and wondering if the next island is better then the one he's on. Eventually he does find a near perfect place and that is where the story ends. Where is it? You'll have to read the book to find out. My rating for this book is 4.5 ninja stars out of 5.

(Insert the Sound of Harps and Choruses of Angels Here)
I am like a different person today because two miracles occurred: a) I had a glorious, fantastic, healing massage today on my frozen and painful shoulder; and b) my computer is fixed!!!! Hallelujah. Nikki and Nick, you both absolutely rock. And also, this butterfly was on my lavender plants. A small miracle in and of itself, I think.

What is a leader... A Leader leads by example, as in the case of Penang CM.
Travellers impressed to see Lim flying economy class (From the Star Online)
PENANG: Some things have not changed with Lim Guan Eng, although he is now the Penang Chief Minister.
And among that is his penchant for economy class air travel.
As the chief executive of Penang, Lim is entitled to a business class seat but he is having none of it.
As travellers queued to get into the airplane, many are surprised to see Lim standing in line with them, just like in the days before the DAP wrested Penang from the Barisan Nasional in the March general election.
Among those who were surprised to see the Penang CM in economy class were songbird Ning Baizura and her manager Vernon Kedit Jolly, who were at KL International Airport last Wednesday.
Jolly was so moved that he wrote about it on his blog, which spurned off reactions among other bloggers.
Lim, who has adopted a "no formalities" approach since assuming the CM's post, said he said he had told his staff to book him economy class tickets whenever he needed to fly.
"I hope to lead by example. If I can reach my destination and save some money at the same time, why not?" he asked.
That is not all. The Chief Minister also does not check into luxury-class rooms in hotels.
"I usually request for a room that is at least one level down from what I am accorded," Lim said.
Jolly, who flew in First Class with Ning on that flight to Penang, said Lim had earned their deepest respects.

Darren Palmer explores the hottest kitchen trends from EuroCucina
Sydney, 28 June 2016 — One of the most important things to consider when creating a new kitchen is that it needs to be a space that suits you, your style and your home. You'll also want to explore as many kitchen trends and styles as possible – ensuring you find the perfect fit for you.
EuroCucina, part of the Milan Furniture Fair, was held in April of this year – showcasing the very best kitchens from the largest European designers and manufacturers. Drawing inspiration from these trends, Freedom Kitchens demonstrates how European style can be achieved right here in Australia.
Below I explore the hottest kitchen trends and styles from EuroCucina and how you can bring these into your dream Freedom Kitchen.
Colour is back in a big way. You can use it in your kitchen in a variety of ways – from a pop of colour in a bank of cabinetry or splashback – through to layering different shades of one colour across various surfaces.
Blues and teals were the dominant colour tones seen throughout EuroCucina, while citrus gradients of red, raspberry, yellow and orange were also featured.
Soft, muted pastels appeared too – offering an injection of lighter colour to an all-white kitchen. They're also useful for breaking up block colours to add a sense of balance.
I love balancing a splash of colour with natural Caesarstone marble-inspired benchtops, coupled with white-toned cabinetry and integrated appliances. This creates a thoughtful and modern take on colour in the kitchen.
This trend focuses on a very simple and natural palette, with the look of stone or timber being the hero in the kitchen space At Eurocucina these looks were taken to new heights with large swatches being used in both cabinetry and benchtops.
Timber can also be used as a foil or contrast to break up classic monochromatic schemes like grey, white or black – allowing you to highlight areas like benchtops and niches intimber-look cabinetry to complement this style.
In terms of shades, explore everything from oak – for a classic and soft look – to pairing warm walnut with flashes of colour. Cool grey tones can also help to add a sleek urban feel. I love this trend, as timber adds instant warmth and texture to any kitchen space.
Metallics can add a heightened sense of glamour and warmth to your dream kitchen. Gold, rose gold, brass, aged brass and copper are all impressive options – with brass being the hero shade of the moment.
Metallics are taking centre stage in the kitchen, featuring in sinks, taps and handles – as well as being used as a treatment for door panels, benchtops, splashbacks and shelving. It's also a good idea to add an accent through lighting, small appliances and décor to complete the look.
The industrial kitchen style is perfect for those who like things a little more raw and rustic. Think warehouses and cool café spaces – with exposed brickwork or piping, metal features and a mixture of concrete and timber when creating this no-fuss approach to kitchen design.
And thanks to the practicality and visual appeal of the industrial look, it works perfectly to set-up your kitchen as the centrepiece. From here, you're free to expand the style throughout the rest of your home. It's also a look that suits those who want to create an eclectic kitchen space – presenting a variety of different finishes, textures and features.
Modern touches to the industrial style add class to classic black, brick, timber and concrete palettes. You may consider the inclusion of colour and/or a pattern to give the finish a more contemporary edge. While black, brass or copper tapware and sinks and sleek stainless-steel appliances can add to the effect.
Most importantly, have fun with your kitchen design! Start gathering inspiration from the Freedom Kitchens' image gallery or download the brand-new winter catalogue now. You can also start following Freedom Kitchens on Instagram and Pinterest.

I mean, seriously, wow.
Did you hear Bush say that at the press conference this morning? Did your jaw drop like mine?
That one stood out... a rare burst of candor, an acknowledgment of the real reasons for this tragedy we're in. The unwitting truth was conspicuous in an hour filled with terrifyingly stubborn and stupid lies, with a petulant refusal to address the illegal conduct of three members of his Administration, with a blind ignorance of the realities in Iraq, and with a sickening arrogance more fitting to a child-King than to a President.
Still, there were other moments worth noting:
"People have to see tangible results in their lives. They have to see something better. They not only have to feel secure where they live, but they've got to see positive things taking place."
That was Bush defining success in Iraq, and describing a contentment that no Americans enjoy.
He went on to describe his vision of a free Iraq in specific terms. Read these and think about how much you wish we had these things in America:
"... a government that is bound by a constitution, where the country feels relatively secure as a result of a security force that is even-handed in its application of security; a place where the vast resources of the country -- this is a relatively wealthy country, in that they've got a lot of hydrocarbons -- is shared equally amongst people; that there is a federalism that evolves under the Constitution where the local provinces have got authority as well; and where people who may have made a political decision in the past and yet weren't criminals can participate in the life of the country...In other words, that there is a bulwark for moderation, as opposed to a safe haven for extremism."
Honestly, how does anyone in the room keep from laughing out loud when Bush says things like this? If he loves these principles so much, can we get them here?
"People want to live in peace; they want to grow up in a peaceful environment. And the decision I made is going to help the Iraqi government do that."
The decision he made four years ago? Not so much. Polls show that most Iraqis feel Bush's decisions have turned their country into a giant psycho clusterfuck. I think when given a choice between a democratic government and having electricity while not being bombed, most people would go with the "electricity/no bomb" thing.
And as I've said before: Attacking another country, without the backing of other nations, and causing massive destruction simply because you hate their leaders and want to make their way of life more like your own? That's not just what George Bush did. It's also what Osama Bin Laden did.
(By the way, whenever you hear Bush or Cheney say how unfair it is that everyone focuses on the mayhem in Baghdad, and ignores the relative peace in outlying provinces? What if, after 9/11, Bin Laden said, "Hey, sure there are isolated pockets of destruction. But the people in, say, Georgia and Indiana and Rhode Island live in peace and prosperity. What's the big deal?" Would you have been okay with that? I sure wouldn't.)
Here is another moment that had me gagging on my oatmeal, this one regarding the "surge" and the non-binding resolution...
"...which opposes our new plan in Iraq before it has a chance to work. People are prejudging the outcome of this."
"Prejudging outcomes" has another name: "planning." In a room filled with gasoline, it would not be overly prejudgmental to deny "match-lighting" a chance to work.
But perhaps the president was saying that people were merely having a kneejerk reaction, dismissing something in advance, deciding against all reason that it's not worth trying. That this "it'll fail, so why try?" attitude is sickening.
In other words, exactly what he does when he refuses to engage in face-to-face talks with Iran:
"If I thought we could achieve success, I would sit down. But I don't think we can achieve success right now."
Prejudging outcomes before they have a chance to work, anyone?
But hold onto your hat for this one, regarding the unproven assertion that the Iranian Quds force is providing IED's to Iraq:
"What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds force to do what they did. But here's my point: Either they knew or didn't know, and what matters is, is that they're there. What's worse, that the government knew or that the government didn't know?"
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! I know, as does any multicelled creature: It's worse if the government ordered it. Isn't it?
But no. Bush feels it's six of one.
Holy Schnikes. I don't know whether the Quds did or didn't do this, or who told them to do it. But this is some freaked-out doctrine. This is a very dangerous precedent to set.
Let's say a bunch of rogue American mercenaries or militia nutjobs, without consulting anyone and without authority, go wreak havoc in another country. If the President demonstrably didn't authorize it, would that other country still be justified in bombing the U.S.?
And what about the Saudis, supplying the Iraqis with shoulder-launched rockets, the better to shoot down our helicopters with? Or our own Pentagon, which was selling F-14 parts to Iran until two weeks ago??? WTF??
But the President's message to Iran was boiled down to one inspiring passage. A passage which could have come out of any European newspaper article about the United States:
"The message to the Iranian people is that your leaders are making decisions that are isolating you in the world, thereby denying you a brighter future. And I believe Iran is an unbelievably vital nation. It's got a great history, it's got wonderful traditions, it's got very capable, smart people. There is -- I believe there's also a desire to not be isolated from the world. And our policies are all aimed at convincing the Iranian people there's a better way forward, and I hope their government hears that message."
Yes, I hope the American one hears it, too.

Heh heh. I can't take anything Dubya does REMOTELY seriously anymore...not that I ever could. Fact of the matter is that he's a human piece of shit. He serves no purpose on this planet whetsoever. He's a useless piece of shit, period. As a matter of fact, a piece of shit serves more purpose in at least potentially acting as fertlizer and being part of the life cycle. And if you don't believe me, just ask G-d.
-The Eternal Man

Well put. Also, a piece of shit couldn't cost hundreds of lives and bankrupt our futures. I mean, no piece of shit I've ever seen.

A twenty-first century re-staging of the most famous rock opera of all time is complete with contemporary costumes, spectacular lighting and incredible video effects. A stunning cast and live rock band brings the eternal power of the greatest story ever told into the here and now.
Jesus Christ Superstar is a dramatisation of the last seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The musical phenomenon reveals an all-too-human soul in the man many believe to be the son of God, the fickle nature of those closest to him, the heartache of a woman who loves him and the motives of the man who ultimately betrays him.
Since 1971 audiences worldwide have thrilled to the unforgettable Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice Jesus Christ Superstar songs such as "Everything's Alright", "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and the iconic signature tune.

From the Shiny Sorceress belly blood crystals have fallen to Earth They are now lost within Earths cold crust. Matter is multiplying itself. The air is becoming saturated. The thickness of minerals that mingle under the Earth are starting to be sucked away. The saturation is becoming thicker and thicker. The process of crystallization has started to take place. It is starting to take over matter. Everything is undergoing crystallization. It is beautiful but it is suffocating. It will trap her within an infinite reflection of herself. Wandering in the landscape she looks for the shard broken off from The Shiny Sorceresses' belly.

Fake iPhones are displayed at a mobile phone stall in Shanghai. Like most pirated mobile phones, it is extremely light, almost like a plastic toy
The latest version of Apple's popular iPhone has already hit the Chinese market, albeit the black market.
The 'hiPhone 5' is selling for as little as 200 yuan (£19 / $31) on China's top e-commerce website Taobao.
The counterfeit device is based on leaked images of the yet-to-be-launched iPhone 5 and is thinner than the existing iPhone 4.
Knock-off: The 'hiPhone 5' (left) and Apple's iPhone 4 (right). The counterfeit device is based on leaked images of the yet-to-be-launched iPhone 5 and is thinner than the existing iPhone 4
Spot the fake (it's on the left). Chinese consumers have to pay 200 yuan (£19 / $31) for the hiPhone 5, compared to four times that for the genuine article
The designers of the hiPhone 5 clearly didn't want a repeat of Apple's 'antennagate' fiasco
However, it is extremely light, almost like a plastic toy, like most pirated mobile phones.
Consumers have to pay around 800 yuan - four times as much - for the genuine article, according to shop clerks at a mobile phone market in Shanghai.
'Look at this. It's not the same as the 300 to 400 yuan ones,' Shanghai-based daily Metro Express quoted a clerk as saying, pointing to one originally priced at 850 yuan.

Western governments have repeatedly criticised China for widespread violation of intellectual property rights, but pirated goods from branded watches, to bags and computer software can be easily found in shops.
Last month, an American blogger set off a media storm after she posted pictures of an elaborate fake Apple Store in Kunming, selling genuine if unauthorised iPhones, Macbooks and other widely popular Apple products.
Reuters also uncovered a look-a-like of the Swedish furniture giant Ikea in the south-western Chinese city.
Apple, which is expected to roll out the latest version of the iPhone 5 smartphone within a few months, sold a record 20.34million iPhones during the last quarter, even though its newest model is over a year old.

I had this great idea just now, I just wish we could afford the postage. lol On the page that's going to be the first link they show sugar cookies decorated to look like postcards. That lead me to think "Hey, wouldn't it be cute instead of sending Christmas cards to send Christmas card COOKIES instead???" Damn postage. lol Oh well, maybe I can do it for the people around here. And watch out US family, postcard cookies will be coming your way next year! Anyway, on with the recipes...
Don't ask me why these are called 3-in-1 sugar cookies. The recipe doesn't say and it isn't blatantly obvious.
3-in-1 Sugar Cookies
These may be another candidate for the "in a jar" gift idea since they have relatively few wet ingredients and are a little different than most people would ordinarily make. I want to give something that is a little out of the ordinary, something a little more "gourmet" than the traditional sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, etc...
Spice Cookies
These sound really pretty and I think I saw the show they're featured on. I love Sandra Lee's show, I wish we got it out here, but I guess Food Network Canada is out of the loop when it comes to her greatness. ;)

This weekend we're set to go car (or should I say mini-van/3rd row SUV) shopping. The last time I did this, I was fresh out of college and took my dad with me so that he could do the negotiating. The last time Ryan did this, he was fresh out of college and bought his truck from a former client who just happened to be a manager at a car dealership.
So, basically, I have no idea of how to negotiate for a car. I really wish that Saturn had a vehicle that we were happier with (and prices that were a tad more reasonable) because I really like the idea of not haggling. Confrontation is not easy for me and I just know that I will fold early and then be angry later for not fighting harder.
Thoughts? How do you stay strong when facing a fast-talking salesman who, by the way, doesn't really care that a huge car note will force us to eat nothing but macaroni and cheese and beans and rice for the next few years?
As payment for your advice, I leave you with this website. Simply type in the name of a store that you like and it will give you a list of online coupon codes. I used it today for The Children's Place and got a load of warm clothes for Sydney for under $40 (tax and shipping included).

How Bedrock Promises Of Security Have Fractured Across America - By Peter G. Gosselin, Los Angeles TimesDespite the dimensions of GM's problems, GM executives have thus far taken comparatively incremental steps, winning some healthcare concessions from its unions, closing a few plants and reducing white-collar staff. By contrast, Miller has launched what appeared — at least until recently — to be a full frontal attack.Since arriving at Delphi in July, the former Chrysler executive, who has led other troubled companies such as Federal-Mogul and Bethlehem Steel into bankruptcy, has made a series of incendiary remarks seemingly calculated to push the company's unions to within a hair's breadth of a strike."Paying $65 an hour for someone mowing the lawn at one of our plants is just not going to cut it in industrial America," he said at one news conference, a reference to the average combined wages, benefits and pensions of an hourly Delphi worker. Miller refused through a company spokesman to be interviewed for this article.For the Packard Electric workers, what's at stake is a 20-year-old deal that they say guaranteed them lifetime employment in return for concessions that enabled the company to take on low-wage foreign competitors.

Conversation

I remember my mouth moving,
words spilling out upon the hospital blanket.
I remember him answering
in between labored breaths.
I wanted to lean in closer
so I could hear what he said
but I was still afraid
to get too close to him.
I remember that everything in the room
seemed larger than he did
and that I kept clenching and
unclinching my fists
like they were jellyfish,
like if I opened and closed them enough
I could propel myself right out the window.
I remember looking at
the potted orchid
beside the soap dispenser
and how the labellum
looked like a polka-dot pocket
full of words left unsaid.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-60281588824749912382010-02-04T01:33:00.000-08:002010-02-04T01:34:24.874-08:00Wednesday's "Promptly" Writing PromptThe Blue Guitar

I've seen the angel of Death. He wears a killer pair of thigh-high boots. Imagine Bowie with a broadsword.

It was one of those nights where every time I'm about to fall asleep I have a hypnic jerk. Except this time I jerk myself right off the bed.

On my bedroom floor, in the dark, everything looks different. The green light of the power strip gives the notebooks and paperbacks an absinthian glow. Dust bunnies merge together in the no man's land beneath my bed preparing their ambush. The acoustic guitar propped up in the corner, the one I never did learn how to play, looks like a tired old man, one solemn chord away from serenading the undertaker. And then I see my face reflected in black latex that goes on forever. Almost. This guy looks like he knows what he's doing and, frankly, I'm curious. So I say, "You aren't going to get no fight from me, Death. To tell the truth, I've been ready for a while. Life is boring."

"We agree in principle. That's clear."

"Yes, well, I'm glad someone finally understands where I'm coming from." I still lay there on the bedroom floor looking stupid. And Death's still standing there looking amazing, his left hand on the glittering pommel of his sword. And I'm wondering when it's going to happen. You know, when he's going to close my eyes with a slow wave, hand me that one-way ticket, do the reaping. He doesn't seem in any hurry. "You want a sandwich? I think I've got some roast beef in the kitchen."

Death looks over at the corner of my bedroom. "Things as they are are changed upon the blue guitar."

"Ah, yeah, well, I never learned to play."

"I play. But this is what I think. We shall forget by day, except the moments when we choose to play." Death bent his head down and I could see now his hair was white as his sword.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess it's too late for me to learn now. I've already got one foot in the grave. I'm, like, half the man I was this morning."

Death shook his head. "Am I not, myself, only half a figure of a sort, a figure half seen, or seen for a moment, a man of the mind, an apparition appareled in apparels of such lightest look that a turn of my shoulder and quickly, too quickly, I am gone?"

And he was. Gone, that is. And I wish I could say I learned to play that guitar, but I forgot about until this morning when it fell over with a dissonant thud.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-70279970847699916152009-12-01T00:40:00.000-08:002009-12-01T00:41:12.605-08:00Final Day of the Poem-a-Day ChallengeHysterectomy

When I fell asleep the nurse was still
laughing. I don't remember the
joke. And while I was sleeping they
drew the knife and cut it out. Out! And
in the dark of anesthesia I couldn't
yell, Stop! I've changed my mind.

They said to me, Don't be afraid. Then they
tore me open and harvested a pink plump pear of
an organ. And while they offered a sacrifice to
the god of bloody things I was crawling through
a sea of sage. Crawling. But my wrists were
tied. And my mouth was tied. The other
women walked past me with their baskets of
fruit. They pretended not to see me twitching at
their heels.

There were no telephones where
I went and kisses were hard to
come by. And no one explained that
feeling of being taken from one world and
placed in another. That feeling. It was the
opposite of waking up on a hospital bed with
an ache where you're missing something.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-32201749853590365472009-11-30T01:02:00.000-08:002009-11-30T01:03:21.572-08:00Day Twenty-Nine of the Poem-a-Day Challenge89

If there was a way to give him all without
giving him anything, I guess I've done it.
I guess. The bedspread was scratchy. The
blue Jesus on the wall quietly prayed. I watched the
second hand on the clock move around and
around, stopping to kiss each tick once quickly on
the way to tock. In retrospect, I could have been more
original. It's not like I thought I was the
one. Not really. That's probably what we all
say. In retrospect. But beneath the
sidewalk and the water pipes and the dirt was
someone a little uncertain who happened to
hold a lever in her hand.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-17830031091904122982009-11-29T01:06:00.001-08:002009-11-29T01:06:37.066-08:00day 28 p.a.d.Through this Moment

A cardboard boat, its mainsail a
torn-up t-shirt blowing in the
wind so a pattern of reddish
light twinkles on the water, crawls bit by
bit over the inky flat rocks of the
riverbed. It must have been built while
I was sitting here trying to mend another
hole in the sofa's upholstery. He is so far away
from me right at this moment. But there are
others, moments so close, moments of
fusion. Ice melting into water. This
tempestuous soul who only months ago
was blood and bones and water.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-19145296861928829512009-11-28T02:16:00.001-08:002009-11-28T02:16:53.584-08:00p.a.d. --day twenty-sevenRectangles

Arranging and rearranging the hem of
her red satin dress, she pauses to
look at the camera. I do not expect

a smile or an offering, perhaps a
scream, a silent scream for
melodrama's sake. All angles are

her angles. At any rate, the
ghosts hide in the dark until
she's away. I knew her before

she had to put gold in her hair, when
her curves were round and soft. If
you believe miracles occur then

you've never been strapped to
the bed when she administers the
dose. Degree by degree.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-65619477211962702722009-11-27T01:08:00.001-08:002009-11-27T01:08:40.852-08:00p.a.d. -- day twenty-sixOf the Waves
 for Kenneth

A little boy
stands on a box
in too-big blue jeans,

munching on
carrot sticks and
singing Dylan.

We rush through
dinners, school days,
birthdays,

barely stopping to
bend and breathe in
the sweet and salty.

He stands on a
cardboard box bare-
foot and plucks a

guitar, his ten fingers and
toes are gulls that
say good luck

slowing us down. The
boy who swells and
breaks like every

breath is every-
thing. The boy who
knows a clock different

from the one hanging
on the kitchen wall. The

boy whose laughter draws
honey from the
roaring sea.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-33244995986087802562009-11-26T01:08:00.000-08:002009-11-26T01:09:14.211-08:00day 25 p.a.d.Fever

Little snowflakes, little chalky
wafers, you flutter outside my

window. I stick out my tongue but
still cannot taste your

chill. There is a cold I cannot
catch! If you could nip, or bite--

close your arctic fingers around
my throat. Not this, not

this falling down without
frostbite, without numb.

I'm weary of watching
you wobble, stark as

bone, lifeless as the
shavings of a fingernail.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-45963382191324318222009-11-25T01:16:00.000-08:002009-11-25T01:17:10.898-08:00day 23 p.a.d.Supper

Supper is full of noise. The
sharp staccato of celery being
chopped. Forks and knives
rattle against each other like
bells with broken clappers.
Grandpa grunts as he tries to
get out of his chair.

In the middle of
everything slouches
a whistling boy. Sneaker
toes tap linoleum. Sigh. A
pencil clucks and whispers across
the paper. Sigh. Pencil
becomes drum stick until
the song ends. Sigh.

Platters stomp and
tromp on the table. Glasses
fill with water. Chairs
pull out. A rushed
prayer. The rip of
crusty bread. Everyone
speaks at once.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-79368066485239789072009-11-23T03:11:00.001-08:002009-11-23T03:11:47.311-08:00poem-a-day challenge -- day twenty-twoFlash Flood

The first time it rained, I was
a wreck. I remembered
stories my new husband had
mentioned, stories of
basements slowly filling with
water, animals floating by
vacant family room
windows, taking a
rowboat to work.

I imagined my baby being
whisked away in his
bassinet down Bay Avenue.
I lifted him carefully into
my arms, with great
ceremony, like I might
never do it again.

I ran upstairs and tried to
pack a bag, a plastic grocery
bag, with necessities. What
was necessary? I'd never lived in
a city that flooded. Suddenly,
I was homesick.

The rain in this new place, this
strange city, the rain here is
moody and scornful. It assaults
frisbee throwers in the park, crushes
flowers and has been know to
steal umbrellas right out of tightly
clutched hands. The rain here takes a
joy ride and never looks back.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-54845946475525170182009-11-23T01:50:00.000-08:002009-11-23T01:51:05.332-08:00p.a.d. --day twenty-oneBudd Bay

She leans over the landing and drops
pebbles into Budd Bay, the smooth
rocks work their way down her fingers and
out of her hands into the murky water.

The afternoon sun tints everything
an unnatural buff color, like
polaroids from the 1970s.

Her hair slips between the slats of
the boardwalk. Tucked behind a
pierced ear. Strands brush her
forearm. Protein filaments.

She drops another pebble. Plop. The
surface of the water explodes.

On a bench further down the
wharf an old man clips shades onto
his eye glasses. A woman with
curly hair sits down next to him and puts a
blanket across his knees. She shouts at
him to straighten his collar.

Surface tension. Ripples. Water lit by
late summer sunlight. Quickly it goes.
It cannot hold its shape.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-56947915624792850932009-11-21T02:07:00.001-08:002009-11-21T02:07:40.349-08:00Day Twenty (p.a.d.)And Then It Unfolds

There is a rush of
wind, sheet music scatters like
dandelion snow, you lose your
balance. Off kilter.

You watch yourself
disentangle. They say
you grew the beard to appear
more distinguished. Older.
Wiser.

Just seconds ago your
fingers were skillful and
sure. Already you are
trying to recall how

smooth the keys felt under
your fingertips. The slight
resistance. The delicate
sound of pianissimo. The
exact moment

when you floated away from
the sanctuary of the concert hall and
unraveled knee-deep in
sea grass.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-53835966072415141982009-11-20T01:09:00.001-08:002009-11-20T01:09:57.157-08:00p.a.d. -- day nineteenAttachment

For years I've been looking for somewhere to go.
New York. New Mexico. Old El Paso. I have even
planned things out once or twice. Called the
numbers and received the brochures. Checked on
apartments and duplexes. Looked up crime rates.
And then, in my dreams, there I am searching for
a pine tree to sit under, a warm cup of coffee, the
bellow of the sea.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-51883592043691414102009-11-19T02:35:00.000-08:002009-11-19T02:36:01.785-08:00p.a.d. day eighteenForgetting

The act of forgetting is a slow one.
So much sneaks back in.

The fallen feather of a
belted kingfisher. The smell of
pepperoni pizza. The manner in which
a girl in the street quickly says hello and
then tucks her chin into her
chest.

Remnants of debris.

I stumble on their tangled bits.

Forgetting to remember to
forget is a fascinating,
formidable thing. Each
memory opening always
into another.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-9098297572516384652009-11-18T01:17:00.001-08:002009-11-18T01:17:39.331-08:00day seventeen of the poem-a-day challengeAfter

The black smoke rises like a
cat stretching after a nap. I used
to be able to smell it. I used to
like the smell. I used to do it on
purpose just so I could inhale the
withery scorch . In the middle of
the day I drive back to my place just
to watch a slice of bread go from
golden brown to charcoal.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-2969592351608973192009-11-16T23:56:00.001-08:002009-11-16T23:56:37.062-08:00p.a.d. -- day sixteenClouds are Water

Grams is on her knees bent
over the washing basin, rubbing a
linen blouse upon the galvanized
steel ribs of the washboard. I try to
open the window, to holler, to ask
her why she doesn't just throw the
clothes in the washing machine, but
the window won't budge. I watch
her scrub--plunge, lift, plunge. She
is laughing. Her cheeks are
clouds and clouds are water.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-85693435236628823192009-11-16T01:24:00.000-08:002009-11-16T01:25:02.640-08:00day fifteen p.a.d.Pickup Truck

I stare at the fuzzy blue dice hanging from the
rearview mirror and try to breathe through my
mouth to avoid the sour smell of his sweat. The
sun is hot on my thighs and I wish I hadn't worn
such short shorts.

I pat his arm quickly and sit on my hands to keep
my legs from sticking to the blue vinyl seat. The
radio has gone staticky but I don't dare touch it,
don't dare chance tuning into some honky tonker
moanin' the blues.

I don't know what to say so I keep pretending to
yawn, keep pretending he never said it. Each
time we pass a traffic sign, a whoosh like the
wind being forced out of an air mattress, quick
and all at once.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-10343184927375820492009-11-15T03:01:00.000-08:002009-11-16T01:25:48.523-08:00p.a.d. day fourteenLines

grocery lists, the end of

a marathon, walls, a picture
frame painted gold. Song and

dance, the pink satin ribbons in
Kate's hair. Postcards from a

childhood pen pal, a filmstrip, the
string attached to a tea bag, the tone arm of

a phonograph, The stem of a late summer
sunflower, veins returning impure blood back to

the heart, a fading face drawn in the after-

apples)in a pool of dark still water
more slippery than a raven's back
its feathers wet with rain.

The women plaiting her hair
(none of them knowing kinship is
more fairer than guile and
envy) tell stories about the
lady's vanity and love of

looking at her own body (a
most excellent body, both up and
down) and their stories buzz
and hum until all the men and
women (especially the women) believe

the lady is a bad lady
(and a sinful lady and
shameful too) and they cannot
begin to explain (these women)
how they have come to feel

contemptible of their own bodies
so they begin to make excuses
(about a hair out of place, about
needing to check their lipstick)
for looking in the mirror.

Somewhere (with ribbons of
gold that flow and swim) is a
lady who leans over a vessel

Should Anyone Ask

It is evening. I have wandered off. Okay,
I've been abandoned. I am lost. My feet are
dirty. I carry a branch of laurel but still
my prayers are fruitless.

The sky is the color of wild greens. The moon looks
counterfeit and sad. The dragonflies make music by
opening and shutting their wings and the
toadflax nearly reaches my knees.

I will not chase love like a stray dog. I am
not a fool. I will leave these accursed woods.
But first I must wash my feet. And close my
heavy eyelids and sleep. Don't worry; it's just
a little nap.Christina email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127268694424708179.post-55634751259396934422009-11-07T21:45:00.000-08:002009-11-07T21:46:34.951-08:00P.A.D. Challenge--Day SevenPoppies

She plants poppies by the roadside
to cheer up the drivers on their way
home from work, because they were his favorite
flower, because he was a veteran, because his
blood, when it dribbled out of his ear, made a
red whorl on the white pillowcase.

She plants poppies by the roadside
because it keeps her hands busy, because
she loves flowers, because she wants to
bury something that will rise again,
because if she isn't doing something
with her hands they wrench and wring.

She plants poppies by the roadside
because her love for him is eternal,
because she needs something to take care of, because
it requires no intercessor, because the petals that
bloom out of the wrinkled bud are thin as
the wall between here and him.Christina firstname.lastname@example.com
