- A grandmother has over 20 tattoos of Jose Mourinho's face inked on her body
- Vivien Bodycote she would cheat on her husband with the Manchester United boss
- She says Christmas was cancelled when Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea
Vivien Bodycote, a 59-year-old grandma has taken her addiction for Mourinho to another level as she has covered large portions of her body with about 20 tattoos of the Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
The grandmother admits she rarely goes into town without coming back with a tattoo of the special one inked on her.
She even admits to being addicted to the 'Special One' and says she is a manchester United fan because of Mourinho.

"I rarely go into town and not come back with another Jose tattoo on my body, I must have 20 of just him. He's not just the special one, he's the only one," Vivien said.
The grandmother says she would cheat on her husband with Mourinho if the opportunity arises.
"I would die if I saw him in the flesh and for Mourinho I would cheat," she added.
TUKO.co.ke gathered that her 76-years-old husband Tony has spent over £800 of his pension on his wife's tattoos despite retiring over ten years ago.
Vivien continued: "He's gorgeous and every time I open the paper and see him I get gooey at the knees.
"The price of my tattoos has varied, I've had some bits of small writing done for around £60 but most recently it was £250. All in all I'd say it's cost £800."

She continued: "There's not a day I don't look at pictures of Jose online, I'm addicted to Jose Mourinho.
"If he quits Manchester United and decides to go and manage a team in another country then obviously I will say goodbye to British teams and I'll go there."
She also spoke of her frustrations when Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December 2015 and how his dismisal affected her family's christmas.
"When my grandsons told me he was sacked from Chelsea, Christmas was cancelled and we had no dinner. I just wanted to give him a big hug and say it's fine".

I am going to make this entry carefully. I want to express myself without coming off as a racist. I hope I can accomplish that, but I have recieved some information. I have found out a lot more since then.
Let me begin by asking, why does a white person have to be so ashamed of being white, that they convert to acting black. The lingo, the bad English, the foul language.
I will tell you why. Because when a 13 year old girl is thrown into a situation where she is a minority there is pressure to 'fit in'. It is either fit in or become an outcast. That is still no excuse.
What is so wrong and uncool about being white? What is wrong with being proud of YOUR heritage, YOUR culture. Why do whites have to pick up black peoples 'culture'. I say culture, but I dont consider saggy pants, gangsta talk, and foul mouth rap music to be a culture, nor calling yourself ghetto and your friends your hoes, and I dont mean garden hoes.
So where am I going with all this you ask. Well, I will tell you now that I have set a scene. What I am about to tell you is a very BIG reason we moved. I didnt want this to happen to Shelby.
Yesterday my daughter came to me with some news, and little by little more came out.
The first thing she told me was that Tiffany had a boyfriend and they had gone online to her MySpace site and she showed her a picture of him. Well, he is black.
You see, she is surrounded by blacks, in school, at the skating rink, the whole damn county is black, and it ain't the good kind. There are an estimated 50 gangs in Clayton County alone. Nice huh. I guess when you are in an element, you either adapt or get run over. She is adapting, and it is not looking good.
I went to her site. I was so shocked and disappointed. I called her mother. Sent her the site through her work email. As I dove in deeper I read permiscuous behavior, hinted drug use, and a lot more. It just about killed me to read it all. This girl has grown up with Shelby. But since they moved back to Clayton County, she has changed.
Over the weekend Mikes daughter told Tiffany that she sounded and acted black. That made her mad. Well...if the shoe fits. Apparently Tiffany only acts and talks black when she is not around her mother, and she knows better with me.
Her mother said she would look at the site when she got home last night.
I told her, if I saw that kind of trash and it was my daughter, the internet would be GONE.
I went this morning to see if the site was gone. It is in fact NOT gone. She evidently had her heart broken by the one black guy as he asked another girl out to a dance? So she has already moved on to asking another black guy out herself. Her friend that she was talking to about this was saying they would be so perfect for each other and maybe they would kiss and hug and maybe even more. :(
This is not the child that I know. I told Karen she needed to get back out of that county as soon as possible. Because this would happen. No child that has just turned thirteen has any business talking like this, or acting like this.
Shelby is very concerned, very worried for her friend. That is why she told me.
I have done all I can do. If her mother chooses to let these things slide then I dont want to even think about what will happen later on.
I know plenty of black people that are good people. For some reason most of the ones that have gravitated to Clayton County are of the mentality that they must act and be ghetto and gangsta. Makes me sick.
In part of her profile she says she may look white on the outside but she is not on the inside, implying she is black.
Would someone please tell me why it is so cool to try to be black?
I am just so sad about this. I really hope and pray that things will get better, not worse.
That is all I have to say really. I could go into detail about all that I read and saw, but its just not necessary, you get the point.

IBM again, this time with tagging in entreprise
We knew abou their Dogear project, but this time they are experimenting with tagging concept within the entreprise: IBM Fringe
"Tagging has arisen as way to enable users to contribute to a loose taxonomy characterizing web pages, pictures, products and other things. We propose tagging people in order to help individuals keep track of each other while contributing to a loose characterization of their friends and colleagues. "Fringe Contacts" is a reference system designed to test whether peopletagging is a viable and useful approach. It includes both user and programmatic interfaces to tagging functions. The latter is included to enable integration with other collaborative applications such as email or instant messaging. Some client plugins have been developed, and preliminary usage data are encouraging. We think that some characteristics of the enterprise — a clear notion of identity, "professional" environment, and existing need to classify people by their skills and projects — may be necessary ingredients for people-tagging to work." IBM

Assessment standards: a manifesto for change
The debate on standards needs to focus on how high standards of learning can be achieved through assessment. This requires a greater emphasis on assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning.
When it comes to the assessment of learning, we need to move beyond systems focused on marks and grades towards the valid assessment of the achievement of intended programme outcomes.
Limits to the extent that standards can be articulated explicitly must be recognised since ever more detailed specificity and striving for reliability, all too frequently, diminish the learning experience and threaten its validity. There are important benefits of higher education which are not amenable either to the precise specification of standards or to objective assessment.
Assessment standards are socially constructed so there must be a greater emphasis on assessment and feedback processes that actively engage both staff and students in dialogue about standards. It is when learners share an understanding of academic and professional standards in an atmosphere of mutual trust that learning works best.
Active engagement with assessment standards needs to be an integral and seamless part of course design and the learning process in order to allow students to develop their own, internalised, conceptions of standards, and monitor and supervise their own learning.
Assessment is largely dependent upon professional judgement, and confidence in such judgement requires the establishment of appropriate forums for the development and sharing of standards within and between disciplinary and professional communities.

When I went out to the barn today and visited with The LeAnns and Mr. Gus and Ms. Jean. LeAnn was giving the foal and her momma a bath. That little filly is just precious...and she is a pretty good sized little girl too. Nice big butt and broad back. She is going to be very nice. She was getting a bath and being a good girl about it. She is handled on a regular basis so she will grow up to be a wonderful horse for someone.
I then went and brought up Biscuit. He and Sarge were under their shed to keep cool. I walked Biscuit slowly up front. My knee is not happy walking that far so I go slow so not to aggravate it. I put him on the wash rack and brushed him and put Silvadene on his chest. It was puckered up but not totally hairless. Poor guy. I wanted to look at his hooves but he was wanting to refuse to pick up his front left. I insisted. I trimmed his front hooves again....lowered the heel just a tad. I got Lee Ann B's advice on that. I am still unsure of doing feet so I like to have a second opinion! I rasped his front feet and worked on his mustang roll. I put thrush medicine in his frogs and walked him back down to the pasture. I wish he was up closer - at least til my knee stops hating me. I am going to put thrush meds in those frogs every other day until it is gone. It came back so fast and chewed up his frog. Gaaaa....that is nasty business.

September brings the start of a new season and new beginnings for CleanTX in 2016. It is with great enthusiasm that I am announcing my appointment by the CleanTX Board as the new Executive Director of the organization. I am very excited to have this opportunity to continue the excellent work of my predecessor Kathleen Baireuther and all the Executive Directors who have served before her. It is an honor to have the chance to build on the successful ten year history of CleanTX, and I look forward to keeping the organization central to the clean tech space and to maintaining and increasing the positive impact CleanTX has on the industry.
My own career began as an attorney in the 1990s, primarily working in the areas of intellectual property and early stage tech finance. I moved into the Government sector in 2003, working at the Texas General Land Office for eleven years as an attorney, as Special Counsel to the Land Commissioner and finally as Deputy Commissioner for Renewable Energy. In that post, I was tasked with leasing state owned lands for utility scale renewable energy projects and the work sparked a fascination with renewables, clean tech and energy markets that has become my passion. After the Land Office, in 2012 I accepted a position as Research Director at the Texas Sustainable Energy Research Institute at the University of Texas at San Antonio. There I focused on cutting edge research involving distributed energy technologies, energy storage, smart grid and internet of things initiatives, and renewable energy. My role at UTSA was often to look at projects from a holistic perspective that included engineering, economic and policy considerations, all of which are in my opinion critical to the successful adoption of new energy technologies. I love to look at big problems from a systems perspective, and I hope to bring this sort of thinking to my new role at CleanTX.
Whenever an organization undergoes a change it is important to keep what works, and fortunately at CleanTX that is a long list. We will continue to host the monthly Power Lunch series and plan on at least two annual "signature" events. These events, one in spring and one in fall, will bring the community together to hear from clean tech thought leaders about important issues in the space, to spark collaboration and build partnerships. We intend to position CleanTX as a central fixture in a network of members, sponsors, individual contributors, and even governmental and regulatory entities to maximize the exchange of ideas. This will help to ensure that all of these stakeholders make the connections necessary to continue to move clean tech from "the next big thing" into an indispensable industry in the mainstream of energy in Texas and throughout the nation.
In addition, I'd like to see CleanTX explore new avenues to connect and share information. One way to accomplish this is to build on an excellent website by adding significantly more robust online content. For example, we'd like to begin a series of webinars that allow member companies and sponsors to share information with each other and with the general public about their opportunities, challenges and achievements. Another focus area would be to establish a YouTube channel that would allow members and sponsors to share their stories with a broader audience in a dynamic medium. We will even explore the possibility of a monthly CleanTX podcast to allow one or more guests to have their say on current events in clean tech. CleanTX can also work together with partner organizations to seek grant funding to take on specific projects such as research, reports, studies and demonstration projects. This was a big part of how we obtained funding for the institute at UTSA and I'd like to apply that experience and build on prior efforts by CleanTX such as the report on the economic impacts of the clean tech sector. Together, all of these new initiatives would be designed to broaden, deepen and strengthen the efforts CleanTX has already been undertaking.
I am humbled and excited at the opportunity to take on the Executive Director role and lead CleanTX into its second decade. Our goal will always be to position CleanTX as a meeting place, facilitator and partner for our network of member companies, activists and innovators. We will seek to connect with our members, sponsors, the general public and with policy makers. We want to build and deepen these relationships by ensuring that every interaction with CleanTX adds value for all participants, advances the clean tech industry and creates a positive impact for the community. If you would like to join us in these efforts, please reach out to me at any time at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Christmas Pajamas
Next on my list was wrapping the rest of Janna's gifts.
Then it was time to make a Chicken Noodle Casserole for dinner.
Time to go take pictures of the kids opening their Christmas Pajamas.
Then I made Chocolate Lush for tomorrow.
In between I actually scrapped a page.
Ordinary Day
Now it's time for bed because I know the kids will be up early to see what Santa brought them.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the scriptures. I am reading the Old Testament and using the Institute Guide to understand it. So many new things I have learned. Hopefully I can finish it before I die.

The largest snake ever found - as long as a bus and 60 million years old...
Interesting news from the distant past where things seemed so much larger than today.
International scientists, including one from the University of Florida, have discovered the largest known fossil of an ancient snake in Colombia, South America.
The 60 million year old fossil whose size and weight would make present day Anacondas seem like garter snakes, is named Titanboacerrejonenenis by its discoverers, weighed 1140kg(2500lb) and measured 13 metres(42.7ft)from nose to tail - as long as a bus.
This snake's details give scientists some ideas how large animals lived in those prehistoric times and the temperatures of the earth at that time. The findings appear in the latest issue of the science journal NATURE.

Companies have unqiue needs and requirements and no software application can be ideal in such a scenario. It is futile to try to find a perfect off-the-shelf software app that meets all your business wants. The intelligent thing to do would be to customize the solution for your special requirements, worker skill levels, budget, and other aspects. For these reasons, do not rush and pay for well-publicized leading solutions. Though these may be widely used, they may not be the best fit for your unique wants. Do your groundwork, look into each short-listed application in detail, read a few InStream reviews, call the maker for clarifications, and finally settle for the app that presents what you want.

I am inspired and intrigued by the postaweek2011 challenge that WordPress is offering.
While I would love to commit to a postaday2011, my current life of two jobs, plus teaching Yoga, PLUS 12 credit hours of college makes that a tad daunting. At least one post per week is very do-able and a great outlet for my busy life.
Challenge on!

Media Watcher: Trump's Gay Presidency
The media give Barack Obama a lot of credit for supporting gay marriage as president, but he mostly swam with the tide, writes Eddie Scarry at the Washington Examiner. His successor, by contrast, deserves far more credit than he gets. After Omar Mateen shot up a gay Orlando nightclub, Scarry points out, Donald Trump called it an attack on the LGBT community. At the GOP convention, PayPal founder Peter Thiel stood on stage and declared he was proud to be gay. Trump even held up a rainbow flag at a campaign rally. And the press ignores it: "Every other Republican is pressed on whether they'd personally bake a cake for a gay wedding. But Trump is almost entirely ignored when he shows support for gays because he unfurled a rainbow flag the wrong way."
From the Left: Will 'Pussyhats' Protests Peter Out?
The Women's March on Washington was by all accounts a success. But, asks Christine Emba in The Washington Post, what happens now? "Will the pink 'pussyhats' just go to the back of the closet?" The fear among liberals is that the anti-Trump protest movement won't be followed by meaningful political engagement and will peter out, just as did the last one. "A demonstration without follow-up is just . . . Occupy Wall Street," New Jersey college senior Nancy Xiao told Emba. Indeed, Emba says, the protesters are hoping to take a page from the conservative movement and follow the example of the Tea Party, which "birthed a national movement that reset the Republican agenda and swept a wave of candidates into office in the 2010 midterm elections."
Historian: 2016's Big Winners (Other Than Trump)
Donald Trump wasn't 2016's only winner. At The American Interest, Walter Russell Mead offers six others. First is Andrew Jackson, because "Old Hickory's legacy of American populism is one of the most powerful forces in national politics." Along those same lines is late political theorist Samuel Huntington, who envisioned the political battle between "nationalism vs. cosmopolitanism." Next is shale — which, Mead writes, is giving US energy production a boost with climbing oil prices. There's Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who "has smartly diversified Israel's foreign policy and sought new relationships wherever he may find them." The aforementioned Peter Thiel is fifth. Last is, sadly, blood-drenched Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, who "continued to brutally reconsolidate his regime's hold over rebel-held territory, with the prominent help of Russia and Iran."
Conservative Take: Press Hysteria Over Trump a Mistake
The Trump phenomenon challenges a range of US institutions, writes Ross Douthat in The New York Times. But apparently none more than the press, which is reacting with "a kind of hysterical oppositionalism." Take, for example, the question of Russia's attempts to meddle on Trump's behalf: "This is an incredibly serious business, but it has not produced incredibly serious journalism. Instead there has been a rush to publicize all manner of dubious claims." The panic peaked with BuzzFeed's publication of a dubious dossier of unverified rumors. And publications will be rewarded for it: "There is a large and frightened readership looking for confirmation of its darkest fears in every 'unprecedented' (but often, not really) move that Trump and his administration make."
Liberal Editorial Writer: Obama Disses Dems
Barack Obama seemed to signal he'd be a partisan force upon leaving office. But, says Michael McGough at the Los Angeles Times, Obama seems to be sending a different message to Dems. At his last press conference, "he dismissed a reporter's suggestion that there was a contradiction between his commutation of the sentence of Chelsea Manning . . . and his condemnation of Russia for hacking Democratic e-mail accounts." Then he was asked about Democrats boycotting Donald Trump's inauguration. "Obama could have said that he understood the boycotters' disgust over Trump's offensive comments or frightening policy proposals," McGough writes. "Instead he said: 'With respect to the inauguration, I'm not going to comment on those issues.'"

Yes finally it is here College Football. I know what took so long right! And if you don't know me I am a Huge Gator fan! Yes the National Champions not only Football but Basketball a well. But I will move on. Its great once again to get up and watch ten different college games and cheer for your favorite teams. Mine go as follow University Of Florida, South Florida Bulls, UCF, Miami, Florida State, and the SEC conference. Next weekend we are heading up to Auburn to watch them play against South Florida. I can't wait for the game to see if my Bulls and Auburn play. Now I know the Tigers should win but let me give a few reasons why they should have some trouble with the Bulls.
1. First the returning Quarterback for South Florida Matt Grothe is dangerous on the ground and deadly in the air. Last year as a Freshman quarterback and took the Bulls to a 9-4 record. He rushed for 800 yards and passed for 2500 yards.
2. Last year the bulls were lacking in rushing with injures. This year they have four backs that can take charge and relieve Matt from having to carry the whole load.
3. Third the Bulls have nine returning starters for the Bulls defense. They are not as big as you would like but they have excellent play makers and a great secondary.
4. Last the receiving corp for the the Bulls will surprise you they have speed and toughness that can revival any secondary in college football.
I can't wait to see who will win!!

A message from the Chamber Board
Reduce Walk Aways
One of the worst things a small business can see is unspent money walking out the door. It's difficult and costly to get a potential customer inside your place of business in the first place, don't lose them. When you're busy or attending to other customers, make an effort to acknowledge their presence and assure them someone will be right with them. This should be part of training for all front-line employees and re-enforced regularly.
We've all walked into a store, bank or office and not one has even said hello. You have to wonder if they even saw you and it not, how long do you have to stand there? What if they didn't see you? Should you say something or what? If you do say something and they did know you were there, you might get an embarrassing reply. If it happens to me--I'm outta there! I'm perfectly willing to wait my turn, if its not too long and they acknowledge we're there. Wasn't the reason for going there in the first place to make a purchase?
Make it a pleasant experience, not stressful if you want your customers to come back.
Don't let them leave with the money they came in to spend.

When companies adopt poor governance policies, shareholder indignation knows no bounds.. and now, it knows no international boundaries.
Earlier this week, the Luxembourg-based steel company Arcelor said it had transferred control of its recently acquired Canadian unit to a Dutch foundation in a bid to block a takeover offer from Mittal Steel. This action (taken without consulting shareholders) drew criticism from shareholders for its lack of shareholder democracy.
The more restrictive Luxembourg corporate law does not allow shareholders (owning less than 20% of shares) to submit resolutions for discussion in an annual meeting, enabling management to make this decision without consulting shareholders.
French shareholder activist Colette Neuville argued that Arcelor should adopt provisions more in line with other European countries, allowing shareholders to vote on takeover defences.
On the same day, a group of institutional shareholders in the US settled their lawsuit against News Corp. over the company's extension of an anti-takeover poison pill provision that was perceived to be against shareholders' interest.
The real reason for rejoicing was not the poison pill itself, but the result that shareholders could vote on takeover defences in the future.
"Through the settlement, shareholders have the guaranteed right to vote on the poison pill now, and on subsequent poison pills for the next twenty years. This is a great victory for shareholder rights." said the lawyer representing the institutional investors.

Shouldn't shareholders vote on takeover defences? Arcelor and NewsCorp. in the news

Ateneo de Manila 4 years ago. Would wake up at 5:30 a.m. to walk to school and be there at 6 a.m. and walk home again before midnight just to sleep and then be off again the next day same time.
My boarding house was in Dela Costa Homes, Marikina City some 15 to 30 minutes of walking through the 'woods' in Ateneo and past all the buildings, where people say, the ghosts of the dead still lurk. My female classmates admired my guts alright. (Mga talawan. Haha.)
The whole day I'd be glued to the laptop and taking cat naps on the floor on a mat I'd brought along for the purpose. Every week I'd change my location - Rizal library, dorm, English faculty lounge, pantry, ISO, canteen, etc. Good thing everyone was so accommodating - from the librarian to the janitors and security guards and the Humanities office staff and Graduate office staff. I became famous for being the first one in Dela Costa and the last one out.
But silently I was suffering from painful strained and tired eyes and a throbbing head caused by my zombie-like state as every sleep and nap was filled with thoughts of how to start or end the next paragraph. Nothing else mattered. Except food. Pizza Hut, Shakeys, Jollibee, Mcdo, and my favorite Japanese and Mongolian restaurants along Katipunan Ave. whose names escape me now. Plus the occasional run around campus and badminton match with BJ and the gang. That was my life.
Everything paid off nicely when I finished my thesis 3 months ahead of schedule. I was even allowed by my thesis adviser to go to Thailand for a week and to Belgium for 2 months before my thesis defense. (Salamat!)
But back to those days of intensity I remember most the long talks with my friend, M, who was working hard too on finishing all her paper work. Since I was teaching research paper writing while doing my own, I had in a sense, unlimited access to faculty rooms, and so I graciously offered M to join me there for late night writing sessions. (We each had two long tables. Heaven.) It was during one of those nights when M started to tell me the story of her life. Something, she said, she doesn't tell everyone.
Cautiously at first she told me she lives in a squatter's area with her family. Eight kids. Her husband is a drunkard and has no job. Yet she can't leave him because she needs him to take care of the babies while she works. Her eldest boy, just 17, doesn't go to school anymore and her eldest girl, 16 is also problematic. Even her younger children. M says it's probably because they lack nutritious food. If only she could afford better and more regular food, her children would be doing well in school. To make ends meet, M has resorted to borrowing money from whomever will lend her. That's how she scrapes together their food for the week, the tuition of the kids, and milk for the babies.
What a life.
Me: Why in the first place do you have so many kids if you can't take care of them all?
M: I tried!
What M told me next made me so angry.
When he's drunk, M's husband gets really horny and forces her to have sex with him despite her protestations that she's ovulating and it's not the right time. M said that she had made several attempts to get a ligation despite her husband's and parents-in-law's apprehension about the side effects. When M was about to have her fourth child, she was adamant about getting it done with or without everyone else's blessing. So there she was lying in a hospital ward full of other women about to get birth. Her legs wide open still after giving birth and her pubic hair shaved off. Then the doctor comes and tells her they can't push through with the ligation unless her husband signs the approval letter.
What the f---?!
The jerk doesn't sign the letter of course and eight kids later M's still working her ass off to keep the whole family afloat while her husband continues drinking himself into a horny stupor.

In a small bookshop in Holborn, Charles Lamb makes a wondrous discovery: a book once owned by William Shakespeare. His mother isn't much impressed, and his father is too mad to know or care, but his sister Mary shares in his delight. The siblings quickly become friends with William Ireland, the bookseller's teenage son, who wants to step out from under his domineering father and publish his own papers on his windfall. Ireland senior, on the other hand, is dismissive of William's scholarly ambitions and eager to gain as much money as possible from the Shakespearean documents that keep arriving at the store. Each new discovery fuels Samuel Ireland's determination to get to his son's mysterious benefactor, and each raises more questions in the minds of sceptics across London. When a long-lost Shakespearean drama is staged at Drury Lane, it's only a matter of time before something happens.
There is a historical basis beneath all this, but by the author's own admission it's been altered as necessary to make a good story. Since it makes no attempt to pass itself off as history (unlike some novels....) I didn't much mind. The fact that I have only a passing familiarity with the lives of Charles and Mary doubtless helped; a bit like tv adaptations of Agatha Christie, alterations bother me less when I can't see the full scale of the damage. This is history as it wasn't quite, but might have been, and very entertaining it is too.
For a novel without high drama, it's a real page-turner. William Ireland wants the papers studied, Samuel Ireland wants them sold to the highest bidder, and that's about the sum of the conflict. But the resulting tension is increased chapter after chapter, and the growing public attention raises the stakes that each stands to gain if he gets his way. It also increases the potential for calamity if the papers are proved to be fakes; and if they are, then the more they're scrutinised, the likelier that fact is to be revealed.
And then there's Mary Lamb, who attaches herself to William out of a common desire to escape from oppressive circumstances. For him, of course, it's his father; for her it's a stifling home life made bearable only by her conversations and studies with her brother. She's also somewhat ... intense. A little unpredictable. And passionately convinced that the papers and the new play are genuine Shakespeare. Quite what she'll do if they turn out to be forgeries is anyone's guess. Psychologically balanced or not, she shows how constricted life could be for women of that time.
The use of the setting shows the author's close acquaintance with London geography, from the streets around Holborn to the layout of Shakespeare's Southwark and the late eighteenth-century one. Not that there is anything to specify precisely which century it is; I had to go to the encyclopaedia after finishing to date it. Which did annoy me; I think writers of historical fiction should start things off with a nice date in italics, so their readers know exactly when they are.
Does the absence of a date annoy you, too? Or am I the only one whose brain, if no date is provided, keeps distracting itself from the story by looking for chronological evidence?

I recently got back from a short business trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While on the trip, I wrote down a number of thoughts and observations that I thought I'd share.
The train leaves on time – for once! I'm amazed.
At the emigration counters at the Woodlands checkpoint, I'm the first person in my line (and the second guy into the toilets). Traveling by first-class has its privileges. ;)
There's a beautiful blue-and-white masjid dome on the east side of the tracks north of Johor Bahru.
KTM (the Malaysian inter-city train company) shocks me. The first movie today is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." (Note: "The Rail Channel," which is the entertainment KTM provides for first-class customers, is a 6-hour video played on TV sets at both ends of the rail car. It normally features two full-length movies and a couple of short documentaries on a variety of topics. Normally, the Rail Channel plays low budget B-movies for the passengers; in the past, these movies often were about racial issues between black and white Americans. Milady says that those movies were shown in order to help educate Malaysians of all races to learn to deal with racial tensions, to learn tolerance for other races. That may be, but those types of movies haven't been shown in the past few trips I've made on KTM.)
Malaysians love to fly their flags. (I've noticed this for years.) Even the poorest hovel with its rusted tin roof will proudly fly the Malaysian flag.
It's raining in Gemas.
Much of the landscape in southern Malaysia is difficult to see from the train due to the jungle. Sometimes it seems like only just enough of the trees and plant life was cut back to make room for the train passing through. When you can see the terrain in the distance, it's often low hills covered by ranks of palm trees on the palm oil plantations.
Oh, no! The second movie today is "New York Minute (the Olsen twins). Maybe not "racial," but definitely a "B-movie."
In southern Johor state: three masajid, two Hindu temples, and one Buddhist temple that can be seen from the train.
The soil here is often an orangish-brown, not quite a burnt umber. Many of the streams here are muddy. In JB (Johor Bahru), I saw three guys walking down a stream. Fishermen?
Passing through some of the tiny kampongs (villages), where every home is covered by a tin roof in varying degrees of rust, one wonders how much life has changed here over the decades.
"Surf Like a Girl" – The slogan on a passenger's t-shirt.
Just before sunset, there was a Hindu temple that had both a nice color scheme (white and yellow), and a simplicity in ornamentation. The amount of statuary on a typical Hindu temple is normally enormous. However, this temple had maybe 15-20 idols on its rooftop at the most.
There's an older white couple four rows ahead of me. They strike me as being first-time tourists to Malaysia: taking videos, (him in particular) looking out the windows to see the view. Perhaps I'm becoming jaded. How many times have I come up this way before?
Oh, no! They're repeating "New York Minute" again! (Thankfully, the movie was cut short.)
I just saw the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) express train pass us by. We must be getting close to KL Sentral.
Ah! The Petronas Towers! We're almost there.
Is that a plastic 5-ringgit note?
I've just finished traveling for eight hours and the first television show I see in Kuala Lumpur is "Phua Chu Kang Pte. Ltd." (A TV show made in Singapore.)
The smell of boiled corn from 20 meters away.
Surau? There's no surau here for guests at the hotel! Who do you think stays here? Muslims? In Malaysia? (Note: A "surau" is a prayer hall for Muslims. It is not as big as a masjid in that it can only accommodate a few people at a time. Many facilities in Singapore and Malaysia have a surau available for Muslims - shopping centers, hawker centers, hotels - but apparently not the hotel I'm staying at.)
I am sooo used to the prices of goods including the sales tax (as it is done in Singapore). Spaghetti bolognaises – RM 9.90. I pull out a RM 10 note. "Excuse me, you owe RM 10.40. Diet Coke – RM 2.10. I pull out the exact change. "Hey! That's RM 2.21!"
"Tortillas?" I ask an employee at a supermarket? Blank stare. "Mexican? Flat bread?" He tries repeating the unfamiliar word, garbling it so badly I can't even begin to write down what he said. "Never mind."
I try taking photos of Masjid Negara (the National Mosque) and the Petronas Towers at night. They come out terribly.
Less than an hour till my train leaves. I am sooo ready to go home.
"Terima kasih." "Sama sama." No one expects the Ang Moh to know even this little Malay.
The train ride home is torture. At 6', I'm too tall for the sleeping berth. I can't stretch my legs out like I like to in bed, and my knees are continually bent, which makes them hurt. Moreover, there's no space for the luggage to be stored, so everything that I'm carrying is in the berth with me. I'm very uncomfortable. Then there are all the train stops. The train moves for about an hour or so, and then stops for 10-20 minutes. Every time the train stops, I wake up. I'm not getting any real sleep, and I'm feeling more and more miserable as this night goes on. Insha'allah, I'll never take the night train again.
Stupid freakin' foreigners! Hey, white people! Next time, take your luggage with you when you go through immigration – like you're supposed to! Don't delay the remainder of the trip for the rest of us!
Almost all the taxis on Keppel Road are hired already, so I'm taking the bus home. Thank God that the top side of the bus is almost empty, as I smell really ripe. The first thing I'm gonna do when I get home is take a shower. The second is to sleep the sleep of the dead.
I'm home.

I think its getting worse
I have been a 'cutter' since I was about 15 and the last 3 years or so have been bad. I cut on my arm and I only did it when I was really upset and usally drinking. But yesterday I cut twice and I did it just because my life sucks. It wasnt like I had to but I wanted to and I think that I am getting worse. Before I would cut my arm because I didnt care who saw them. But yesterday I cut on my leg that way no one would know unless I told them. I told my husband about the first one but not the second one. I told him I was sorry but he doesnt know for what. I just dont know what to do. Is it because I am coming off my medication and its messing with me or is it just because I am cutter and will never be able to stop, or is it just getting worse and how much worse can it really get. I cant hang much longer I know that. I just wish I knew what was going on with me and my body.
thats actually how it is for me too. recently ive been cutting more frequently, and deeper then i ever have, and i dont really have to be feeling as bad as i used to for me to cut, i dunno, and its like the other way around for me. i usually just cut my leg but when i really dont give a shit if anybody finds out i cut my arm which isnt very often at all. it might just be that theres phases to this craziness and at times it just gets worse then at other times....

See more reviews like this at Reading Books Like a BossBuy on Amazon: http://amzn.to/10yzoF6My Rating: Stop what you're doing right now and GO READ THIS BOOK! This book is certified grade A unputdownable. I was shocked at how quickly it sucked me in. I cannot say enough good things about it. What's more is that this is Rebecca Espinoza's freaking debut novel. What?!? Mind blown. She is immensely talented. Not only is the storyline brilliant, the writing and character development is spectacular. If you're new to urban fantasy, start with Binds. Ophelia Brand is married to Donovan Brand, the son of a crazy dictator who is trying to rid the world of all the Mages (those with magical abilities). I'm just going to come out and say it. Donovan is a mother flipping genuine douchecanoe (MFGD). Page one of chapter one, I had had enough of of Donovan. Next. Donovan beats Ophelia Tony Rawlings style because he's a MFGD. Anyway, Ophelia's every move is monitored by the "staff" and she has absolutely no freedom. Despite being in this terrible and controlling marriage for years, Ophelia is surprisingly strong and resilient. Her determination to move forward and make a better life for herself is admirable. Basically, Phee kicks ass. She is also extremely hilarious and makes "larper" jokes. So naturally, she is now one of my favorite heroines."Why is everyone so hot?" I don't even know how those words have slipped out of my mouth but I've said them, and directly to the hottest of them all, Mystery Guy. (I'm assume he must be Spencer).Thankfully, we don't have to deal with Donovan for very long because Reece comes to her rescue (hello, white knight) and takes Ophelia away to Spencer's secret lair. Reece is part of an underground resistance movement that is opposed to current regime's rules and regulations regarding Mages. So why bother kidnapping Ophelia? Well, because she's got the magic touch. Partly due to her mother putting a Bind on her magic and partly due to her sheltered adulthood, Ophelia had no idea of the magic and power that lives inside of herAt the head of this resistance movement is Spencer. He is a dark and mysterious man who is willing to do anything for the good of his people. Since the New World Order took over, Mages have been forced from their homes and into reformatories. When we first see Spencer, he's cold and distant, yet I was drawn to him. As the story went on, I loved him more and more. Maybe that's because Spencer calls her Princess, and that makes me melt. But then, Reece is so sweet and helpful. He cares for her so deeply without question. Which one do I want Phee to be with?"Finally having one other person in this world who cares feels like being tossed a scrap of food when you haven't eaten in weeks and then having hope that you may just survive the famine after all."Rebecca Espinoza has crafted this creative, stunning, and captivating world of magical beings. I am absolutely blow away by how great this book was. The story flowed effortlessly and there was not one moment where I felt the plot lulled or dragged on. And the plot twists? Wow! I did NOT see the end coming at all. Granted, I suck at predicting things, but still the revelations in the last 15% knocked me on my booty!Be sure to enter the giveaway on the blog!________________Full Review to ComeOh my flipping Lord! Buy this book! Buy it and read it and cherish it and read it again and love it and....AHHH!!!

SwapThing Encourages Consumers to Re-Use, Recycle, Re-Gift
CUPERTINO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 20, 2006 -- SwapThing.com, the leader in online swapping,
announced that it is better to give and to receive. SwapThing.com
facilitates both through its "My thing for your thing" mantra and provides
a channel for the millions of unwanted gifts given this holiday season.
With over 3 million items, SwapThing helps users swap with folks across
town or across the country. This year, the company encourages consumers to
go holiday swapping instead of shopping!
Swap that 'humbug' for a 'ho ho ho'! A few 'Swap tips' to get you started:
-- Swap Services: SwapThing.com will help users easily narrow their
search. It helps to print a simple certificate or voucher to make the
service more tangible (and easier to use as a gift). Great swappable
services include: massage, hair/nail services, bookkeeping,
bartending/catering, and pet grooming.
-- Be Creative: Everyone has something to swap. Remember - one man's
trash is another man's treasure! Can't afford to host a swanky holiday
bash? Find a bartender who is pining for that Mickey Mouse watch collecting
dust in your sock drawer.
-- Think Outside the Lines: State lines, that is. Last year's New York
must-have designs might be the latest trend in other parts of the country.
And Midwesterners have a wealth of untapped vintage items and sports
-- Recycle Last Year's Unwanted Gifts: Exchange that 'what were they
thinking?' item for something that you might actually use, and know that
Gram's Barry Manilow songbook is going to a good home.
-- Used vs. Vintage: Don't sell yourself short. Think vintage this
holiday season. A used CD might be a lame gift. BUT - an obscure vinyl of
an old fave can be a unique and thoughtful gift.
-- Presentation is Key: A clear photo and a colorful description will get
your item noticed. Add the pertinent details, but keep it short and sweet.
-- More is More: Many items, such as books and collectibles, are more
valuable as a collection or series. Original packaging and overall
condition will always add to an item's value.
-- Don't Give Up: New items are added to the site every day; it's only a
matter of time before you find your perfect swap!
-- Share the Love: Whether it is kitty rescue or clothes for Katrina
survivors, SwapThing.com is committed to making the world a better place.
The site's modest fee is always waived for (tax deductible) charitable
For all of those recipients of lame gifts this holiday season, SwapThing is
hosting the 2nd Annual Bad Gift Contest. The best holiday horror stories
will be voted upon and the winners will receive free swap transactions and
SwapThing T-shirts.
About SwapThing
SwapThing enables the swapping of any combination of items and services
between consumers and small businesses, as well as direct purchases.
SwapThing offers free registration and listing for items, with a low
transaction fee of $1.00 for each exchange of goods, no matter how many
items are involved in the swap.
The SwapThing search engine matches items/services offered to
items/services wanted. User trustworthiness and reputations are formed by
means of a rating system, which is provided through a partnership with
RapLeaf. SwapThing also enables the creation of community and social
networking through user tagging, a blog, and SwapCircles.

December morning mist
Well, it's been a while. I post this at 0740 on a Saturday morning, a time I never thought I'd see at a weekend at home, rather than at a training weekend. This is a usual occurrance now that Pete is Chief Running Water for the northern Grand Union section for the Canal and River Trust. We wake at 6am every work day and once a month, he has weekend duty.
Today, he covers the canals from Hawkesbury Junction in Coventry where the Oxford canal ends and meets the Coventry Canal, through Hillmorton, bypasses Braunston, onward to Watford flight and Foxton, perhaps taking in Market Harborough, finishing up, after Kibworth flight, at Kilby bridge on the outskirts of Leicester. Tucked into all that is a peek at reservoirs at Saddington, Welford, Sulby and Naseby. Oh, and today he investigates the paddles at Cosford. By the way, he l o v e s this work. Countryside views as work, not lifestyle leisure, canals as challenging conundrums, water levels as puzzling management. Happy boy.
We see more of each day and are both enjoying this new world. Clearly travelling with Bella had been reduced, but with my new studio in Braunston, I can't say I'd want to be too far away. With a number of new paintings finished since I've been there, this is a creative time for us both.
We have gentle plans to travel to Braunston for Christmas, but the weather will be the decider on that front.
In the meantime, Bella stays tucked up in Hillmorton Wharf (Blue Haven Marina's new name) and we both venture to new places.

PHOENIX — As computer hacking is becoming an increasingly more common threat to online retail, a Valley start-up says it's working on a solution to make online shopping safer.
uQontrol is a Chandler-based company that announced the launch of its first product this week, called the Qkey, which aims to make online shopping act a bit more like traditional retail, according to Christopher Maus, the company's founder and CEO.
"Qkey is a high-level security device for consumers to function much like the chip and PIN card that consumers are receiving for brick and mortar purchases or retail purchases," he said.
The Qkey is a key-sized chip that stores its user's payment or any other sensitive login information so that the corresponding data is kept offline and therefore away from where hackers can access it, Maus said.
Adding a physical element into the online payment process helps ensure that only someone with the Qkey in hand and the right passwords can make a transaction, according to the company.
"The mechanism of all security is that you have some physical part of that control, whether it's cars (or) whether it's keys," he said. "On the Internet it doesn't work that way, it's what we call virtual security, meaning you trust that (a website's) firewalls will hold up and that's why everything is crumbling right now."
When users want to make an online purchase, Maus said they plug the Qkey into their computer's USB port and only after several security steps can their sensitive information be used to make purchases.
First, users must gain access to a secure browser that is used by Qkey and protected by a master password.
"You enter your password to get into the browser — it's just one password, just like you do with a computer to get in — and now I open up the browser and I shop like I normally do," he said.
When ready to check out, users then pair the Qkey to their smartphone for an added layer of security, Maus said.
"I choose my card and my phone buzzes … you pick it up (and) there's a PIN number," he said.
That PIN number is an OTP, or "one time pin" according to Maus. Once the PIN number is correctly typed into the phone, the user must physically tap the Qkey to finalize the transaction.
"Again, just like retail," he said. "Card inserted, then (PIN) entered, accept by clicking the button … we do it every day, every time you make a card purchase."
Maus said hackers commonly attack data stored in web browsers and use keystroke loggers to steal passwords and credit card information, so by keeping data offline and completing transactions without using keystrokes helps to keep users more secure.
If users lose their Qkey, Maus said the device can even be set to lock down after a certain number of failed password attempts.
The company is currently taking preorders for the Qkey, which will last about a month, and then expects to begin fulfilling those orders in the 120 days following the end of the presale.

Praise for Price might be short-lived
John O'Connor
As a general rule, businesses tend to be quite happy when elections put Republicans in charge of Congress and the White House.
That's because such outcomes almost always help free up the free market. In other words, they usually result in fewer rules and regulations.
But senior living operators would be well advised to temper their giddiness this time, for two reasons. The first is Medicaid. The second, Medicare.
For although we may be on the cusp of a more business-friendly atmosphere in Washington, it's pretty clear that these programs are in for more than a haircut. And if your organization benefits directly or indirectly from either program, then you might want to start looking for a new revenue stream.
President-elect Donald Trump made dismantling the Affordable Care Act one of his central campaign promises. Tuesday, he took a major step toward making that happen. Trump announced that Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) will lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Price, who currently serves as chairman of the House Budget Committee, has been a frequent critic of the ACA. He also previously has introduced legislation designed to gut it.
Price's appointment has received praise from several senior care organizations, who see a kindred spirit in Price. Given his orthopedic surgeon bonafides, he is likely to be more sensitive to the provider's perspective. But make no mistake: He will be anything but reluctant when it comes to reducing federal spending related to health services.
Medicaid likely will be the first target. Expect a hard push to make it a block grant program. States soon might end up with a maximum Medicaid funding allotment to play with, or a per-diem based amount. Either way, Medicaid's recent expansion appears to be doomed. The bottom line is that if you are counting on Medicaid funding to make ends meet, there's a good chance you'll have to count on less of it going forward.
It's a bit tougher to predict what will happen to Medicare, other than that it will be targeted for severe funding reductions. Price has been a staunch advocate of House Speaker Paul Ryan's plan to shift Medicare from a program with defined benefits into one based on "premium supports," or vouchers. Where this gets tricky is that Trump has said he opposes vouchers, so we'll have to see how this particular dance plays out.
Clearly, a lot is at stake here. These two programs now provide coverage to more than 80 million people. So we're talking about imminent social engineering on a grand scale here. And at this point, it's all but impossible to know how the eggs going into the proverbial omelet will be broken.
What can be said with certainty is this: The people in charge want both programs to cut back on spending. In the grand scheme, that might be good for business. But it might not be so good for yours.

lahm, 14 Apr 2015I doubt at this chipset x86, because not all games out there in playstore is supported and gam... moreNo. There are so many games supported in this phone. It contains 64-bit chipset, just like what most of other smartphones are offering these days. By the way, in AnTuTu benchmarking it always shows (like others) that it is running Android 5.0 (32-bit), so I think it should support all the games, but the problem is that according to some peoples not every apps and games are supported on Intel chipsets, but I've never seen any such problems.
Guys check out youtube channel of L BS. The guy has reviewed it thoroughly in different videos. U will have all ur doubts cleared. I m going for it definitely.
pls , pls , pls....anybody tell me about me about 2gb ram vrsns battery backup....pls reply...
mixed reviews about the battery life..on youtube the battery life of the 4gb version lasts a day and on gsm some comments say it drains quickly.. :-/
How is the battery life of this phone bcz i heard it drains very quickly....
Is there any problem with intel cpu or is this software issue plzzz anybody explain...
And i know z3560 cpu based on 22nm lithography then why battery drains very quickly ???
I'm using the 4gb/64gb for 2 weeks now ,first I did the latest update and still have the problem with battery Drain yes is a big problem with the zenfone2 4GB ram version, second the led notification light has only 2 colors green and red ,tried to modify with apps but no chance it because is the first one out there with an Intel cup so no option there yet ,in the rest all in all the software runs smoothly with no hiccups no freezes but they really have to come with an update to fix the battery problem because is horid to see how it drops 1% every 3-5min cmon Asus.
I doubt at this chipset x86, because not all games out there in playstore is supported and games also cannot be mod,am i right.

Also, check out what Chinese OEMs have to say about the number of cores the Mali-T760 has.
This is what Wikipedia says on the Mali page "The Mali series of graphics processing units (GPUs) are semiconductor intellectual property cores..."
AND "The Mali core grew out of the cores previously produced by Falanx and currently constitute: "
I forgot to mention that the Mali-T760 does have a CORE (get it now?) clock rate of 600-650 MHZ as said by Wikipedia.
[deleted post]It's April 23rd releasing... Just join Asus India page in fb... Only that page is official from Asus... So get info from there

Change your name to trolling... Or learn before taking craps
If you guys are talking about GFLOPS as said by Wikipedia..
The GFLOPS or the Mali-T760 says "GFLOPS PER CORE" which means since there are 16 cores for Mali-T760 as various Chinese OEMS have said..
You have to multiply 20.375 @ 600 MhZ by 16 which equals to 326 GFLOPS and the PowerVRG6430 only has 153.6. Also the Fillrate - GP/S is 10.4 for the Mali and 4.8 for the G6430. Direct3D version is 11.1 (Mali) vs 10(PowerVR).
Disclaimer: These are just arbitrary numbers and don't really explain real world performance.
Just get the device that you like and what you can afford. Why pay double for no reason if you don't have enough money?

Well you ladies are really going to give me some crap for this one... I haven't admitted it to anyone but Mr. GB (who's been less than pleased).
But yes, it took 11 weeks for the 1st time to have sex while pregnant. Ok that's not entirely true - there were a few times before we found out we were KU where we did the baby dance - however it's been a long 6 week dry spell since we got those 5 positive HPT's.
I'm crazy right? I've read web sites, I've asked friends, and Mr. GB even asked Dr. C at our consultation appointment - all confirmed it's OK to have sex while you are KU!
I don't think my problem was only with the fact that I was nervous. While I wasn't having any morning sickness, I still wasn't feeling myself. I felt bloated and I was tired. I just wasn't in the mood.
Anyway, last night Mr. GB had HAD it... it was go time. So even though I'd already went to bed an hour before him, I was still awake when he came into the room. He put on his best moves and got the deed done. Sorry if that's TMI but it was great! It was like the 1st time all over again and we've been together for almost 9 years.
Now that that's out of the way... on to 2nd trimester sex! I've heard it's fabulous! :-)
