Review – Argo
2012, 120 mins, 15, Dir. Ben Affleck, starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston and John Goodman.
Argo is Ben Affleck's third film as a director. Having not seen his previous two, and having heard nothing but abuse related to his acting career (especially when teaming up with Michael Bay), I wasn't really sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised – Argo turns out to be a taut and intriguing slice of recent history, a thriller which takes a few liberties but has a wicked sense of humour which balances that out.
The film begins with a sequence that explains the situation in Iran in the late 1970s, which is where much of the film takes place. The USA and Britain in 1953 overthrow Iran's Prime Minister in response to the nationalisation of the oil industry, and the Shah (or King) takes over, crushing all forms of political opposition. Two decades later there are mass protests; the Shah flees, but crowds swarm on the US Embassy. Many of the American diplomats are taken hostage, but six escape and are taken in by the Canadian Embassy. It is the job of Tony Mendez, a CIA Operative, to get them out, and he initiates a very unexpected plan; make the group pretend they are a Canadian film crew scouting for locations for a science-fiction film. It sounds almost ludicrous, and yet as fellow CIA Operative Jack O'Donnell says in the film, 'It's the best bad idea we have.'
Perhaps the main reason why Argo is so enjoyable is that it's so funny. Screenwriter Chris Terrio uses the ridiculousness of the plan to craft some genuinely funny lines about the Hollywood film industry, which features prominently in Mendez' preparation. John Chambers is his Hollywood guru, a true-life make-up artist who worked on Planet of the Apes, and satisfyingly portrayed by John Goodman. Lester Siegel, played by Alan Arkin, is the disgruntled and aged film director, past his prime, enlisted to add his name to the fake project. It is he who has some of the best dialogue: 'If I'm going to make a fake movie, it's going to be a fake hit.'
But it is also pacy and well-directed. There are more than a few sequences in the film which keep you on edge, the imposing Iranian officials casting a shadow of doubt over the fates of the diplomats. Affleck is a great director of tension, but it is not just edge-of-your-seat stuff that he excels in. He shows attention to detail, whether it's the nail on the wall of the Iranian Minister for Culture that once held an (absent) picture of the overthrown Shah, or the camera angles which so faithfully recreate photographs taken in revolutionary Iran. He's also good with actors, and gets great performances across the board from all his cast, many of whom have simply magnificent 70s moustaches (as if Tom Selleck is showing up in every reel).
Argo may be about a hostage situation, but it is certainly not a film which glorifies America. While we do care for the plight of the six hiding diplomats, the film takes great pains to emphasise that it was indeed the USA that instituted the corrupt Shah, resulting in famine and poverty, and nobody could deny it takes some (admittedly hilarious) swipes at one of its biggest national industries, the movies. Rather, Argo focuses on the strength of co-operation between countries, and does it successfully.
Inevitably, some parts of the story do change, and towards the end of the film we are given a very Hollywoodised interpretation of the events. It doesn't matter. For a story which has not been widely told, and as a film partially about that prestigious American industry, Argo is intelligent, hilarious and suspenseful, and knows it.

On Friday, 15 May 2015, Minister Nomvula Mokonyane convened a National Sanitation Indaba at the Durban International Convention Centre to discuss sanitation issues under the theme "It's not all about flushing'.
The Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, delivered the keynote address. The Indaba aimed to interrogate alternative solutions to sanitation which will provide safe, decent and reliable sanitation as a means to restore the dignity of many South Africans currently without access to adequate sanitation services.
Amongst the key messages shared by Minister Mokonyane with the delegates was the need to look at alternative technologies that use less water to dispose of waste.
"We need to move with speed to ensure that we engage communities and change the outdated assumptions that have led people to believe adequate sanitation is waterborne sanitation", said Mokonyane.
"We must begin by challenging the property development sector through regulation and licensing requirements to invest itself in developing properties less reliant on water for sanitation in order to ensure we introduce the alternative solutions to low-, middle- and high-income areas", added the Minister.
While delivering the keynote address, Ramaphosa referred to the City of Johannesburg that is already looking at regulating and incentivising the installation of low-flush toilets and other water-saving urinals as standard features at homes, offices and commercial sites.
"We need to generate new sanitation solutions that are sustainable and will meet our current and future needs. If we continue to use the old flushing methods we are placing huge pressure on our scarce water resources and the environment into which we flush our waste", said Ramaphosa.

Healthy Heart – Tips and Facts!
The heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces (200 to 425 grams) and is a little larger than the size of your fist. By the end of a long life, a person's heart may have beat (expanded and contracted) more than 3.5 billion times. In fact, each day, the average heart beats 100,000 times, pumping about 2,000 gallons (7,571 liters) of blood. The heart contracts at a rate of around 72 beats per minute, at rest. Exercise temporarily increases this rate, but lowers resting heart rate in the long term, and is good for heart health. The shape of the heart is similar to a pinecone, rather broad at the base and tapering to the apex. A stethoscope can be placed directly over the apex so that the beats can be counted. An adult heart has a mass of 250–350 grams (–12 oz). The heart size is 12 cm (5 in) in length, 8 cm (3.5 in) wide and 6 cm (2.5 in) in thickness. Well-trained athletes can have much larger hearts due to the effects of exercise on the heart muscle, similar to the response of skeletal muscle.
Your heart is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone (sternum). A double-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds your heart like a sac. The outer layer of the pericardium surrounds the roots of your heart's major blood vessels and is attached by ligaments to your spinal column, diaphragm and other parts of your body. The inner layer of the pericardium is attached to the heart muscle. A coating of fluid separates the two layers of membrane, letting the heart move as it beats. The largest part of the heart is usually slightly offset to the left (though occasionally it may be offset to the right). The heart is usually felt to be on the left side because the left heart is stronger, since it pumps to all body parts. The left lung in turn is smaller than the right lung because it has to accommodate the heart. The heart is supplied by the coronary circulation and is enclosed in the pericardial sac.
Your heart has four chambers, two upper atria, the receiving chambers, and two lower ventricles, the discharging chambers. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria, and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles. A wall of muscle called the septum separates the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles. The left ventricle is the largest and strongest chamber in your heart. The left ventricle's chamber walls are only about a half-inch thick, but they have enough force to push blood through the aortic valve and into your body.
The Heart Valves
Four valves regulate blood flow through your heart:
- The tricuspid valve regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.
- The pulmonary valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to your lungs to pick up oxygen.
- The mitral valve lets oxygen-rich blood from your lungs pass from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
- The aortic valve opens the way for oxygen-rich blood to pass from the left ventricle into the aorta, your body's largest artery.
- All four heart valves lie along the same plane. The valves ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart and prevent backflow
The Conduction System
Electrical impulses from your heart muscle cause your heart to contract. This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the right atrium. The SA node is sometimes called the heart's "natural pacemaker." An electrical impulse from this natural pacemaker travels through the muscle fibers of the atria and ventricles, causing them to contract. Although the SA node sends electrical impulses at a certain rate, your heart rate may still change depending on physical demands, stress or hormonal factors.
The Circulatory System
The heart and circulatory system make up your cardiovascular system. Your heart works as a pump that pushes blood to the organs, tissues, and cells of your body. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and removes the carbon dioxide and waste products made by those cells. Blood is carried from your heart to the rest of your body through a complex network of arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Blood is returned to your heart through venules and veins. If all the vessels of this network in your body were laid end-to-end, they would extend for about 60,000 miles (more than 96,500 kilometers), which is far enough to circle the earth more than twice!
Leading Causes of Heart Failure
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) was the most common cause of death globally in 2008, accounting for 30% of cases. Of these deaths more than three quarters were due to coronary artery disease and stroke. Risk factors include: smoking, being overweight, not enough exercise, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and poorly controlled diabetes among others. Diagnosis of CVD is often done by listening to the heart-sounds with a stethoscope, ECG or by ultrasound. Diseases of the heart are primarily treated by cardiologists, although many specialties of medicine may be involved. Coronary artery disease and heart attack. Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease and the most common cause of heart failure. Over time, arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle narrow from a buildup of fatty deposits, a process called atherosclerosis.
Heart failure often develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened your heart. Over time, the heart can no longer keep up with the normal demands placed on it to pump blood to the rest of your body. The main pumping chambers of your heart (the ventricles) may become stiff and not fill properly between beats. Also, your heart muscle may weaken, and the ventricles stretch (dilate) to the point that the heart can't pump blood efficiently throughout your body. The term "congestive heart failure" comes from blood backing up into — or congesting — the liver, abdomen, lower extremities and lungs. However, not all heart failure is congestive. You might have shortness of breath or weakness due to heart failure and not have any fluid building up. Heart failure can involve the left side, right side or both sides of your heart. Typically, heart failure begins with the left side — specifically the left ventricle, your heart's main pumping chamber.
Your grandmother, father, cousin or even your great aunt may have heart disease but even with a strongly inherited predisposition to the condition you can cut your risks dramatically by pursuing a heart healthy lifestyle and it's easier than you think. You might think that getting fit and boosting your heart health means spending hours upon hours at the gym, sweating and getting on machines that look more like torture devices than anything that's going to help you. Well, I'm here to tell you that's not true. In fact, reaping the heart-healthy benefits of exercise doesn't have to take a huge time commitment – nor does it have to be torturous. It can actually be quite fun!
The heart, together with the arteries that feed it, is one big muscle! So how do you get a healthier heart, right now? The answer sounds too good to be true, just by simply leading a healthier life. With all the mixed messages about "good" and "bad" foods in the media, it's not surprising that many people just give up trying to figure out what they should eat. If you're confused, you're not alone. Our research has shown that the No. 1 thing people are confused about when it comes to heart health is what the best diet is. That's why we want to share these tips and facts that are proven to keep a smile on your face and on your heart!
Over 800,000 Americans died from heart attacks and other cardiac illnesses last year, but most of those deaths, four out of five were preventable. Don't be one of those 800,000 Americans. Adopt some of these Healthy Heart tips to help you be on your way to building a healthy heart that will last a lifetime.
1. Start with Activities you Love
If you've had problems making exercise a regular part of your life, then I imagine you only think of exercise as something you have to do in the gym. But that's just not true! Things like walking, dancing in your living room, bowling and even cleaning the house can count as exercise as long as you're getting a little out of breath when you're doing them.
So sit down and make a list of all of the active things you do and find a way to make at least one of them a part of your day, every day. Then, after a few months of making those activities habits, try new ones or more traditional workouts like a group exercise class. As you get in the habit of being active and start to get more fit, you might just be amazed and what activities you like.
2. Don't Smoke or use Tobacco
When it comes to heart disease prevention, no amount of smoking is safe. But, the more you smoke, the greater your risk. Smokeless tobacco and low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes also are risky, as is exposure to secondhand smoke. Even so-called "social smoking" — smoking only while at a bar or restaurant with friends — is dangerous and increases the risk of heart disease. The good news, though, is that when you quit smoking, your risk of heart disease drops almost to that of a nonsmoker in about five years. And no matter how long or how much you smoked, you'll start reaping rewards as soon as you quit.
3. Know your heart health numbers.
Establish a baseline to help plan every preventive step for the rest of the year. You need to know if you are at risk before you can take action to lower your risk. Know your HDL or "good" cholesterol, LDL or "bad" cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, weight and body mass index (BMI) numbers. And make an appointment now for a check-up to see if your new healthy habits are making the grade.
4. Eat a heart-healthy diet
Limiting certain fats you eat also is important. Of the types of fat — saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and trans fat — saturated fat and trans fat are the ones to try to limit or avoid. Try to keep saturated fat to no more than 10 percent of your daily calories. And, try to keep trans fat out of your diet altogether.
Major sources of saturated fat include:
- Red meat
- Dairy products
- Coconut and palm oils
Sources of trans fat include:
- Deep-fried fast foods
- Bakery products
- Packaged snack foods
- Margarines
- Crackers
If the nutrition label has the term "partially hydrogenated," it means that product contains trans fat.
Heart-healthy eating isn't all about cutting back, though. Healthy fats from plant-based sources, such as avocado, nuts, olives and olive oil, help your heart by lowering the bad type of cholesterol. Most people need to add more fruits and vegetables to their diet — with a goal of five to 10 servings a day. Eating that many fruits and vegetables can not only help prevent heart disease but also may help prevent cancer and improve diabetes. Eating several servings a week of certain fish, such as salmon and mackerel, may decrease your risk of heart attack.
Following a heart-healthy diet also means keeping an eye on how much alcohol you drink. If you choose to drink alcohol, it's better for your heart to do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger. At that moderate level, alcohol can have a protective effect on your heart. More than that becomes a health hazard.
5. Embrace the Power of 10
Think you can't get heart-health benefits from just 10-minute bouts of activity? Think again. Ten minutes of walking three times a day has been shown to lower blood pressure more effectively than a longer 30-minute bout of walking. Something as simple as walking before work, over lunch and after dinner is a fabulous way to squeeze in exercise – no gym required!
6. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Being overweight, especially if you carry excess weight around your middle, ups your risk of heart disease. Excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease — high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass index (BMI), which considers your height and weight in determining whether you have a healthy or unhealthy percentage of body fat. BMI numbers 25 and higher are associated with higher blood fats, higher blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
The BMI is a good, but imperfect guide. Muscle weighs more than fat, for instance, and women and men who are very muscular and physically fit can have high BMIs without added health risks. Because of that, waist circumference also is a useful tool to measure how much abdominal fat you have:
- Men are considered overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 40 inches (101.6 centimeters, or cm).
- Women are overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (88.9 cm).
Even a small weight loss can be beneficial. Reducing your weight by just 5 to 10 percent can help decrease your blood pressure, lower your blood cholesterol level and reduce your risk of diabetes.
7. Use exercise to De-stress
Stress plays a critical role in heart health, and exercise is great at kicking stress to the curb. Learn to see exercise not as something that you have to do, but instead as something you want to do because it makes you feel good. While most workouts will pump up your feel-good endorphins, workouts like yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi are especially good for de-stressing and improving the mind-body connection. Try 'em!
8. It's not just about Cardio
When people think of heart-healthy exercise, they generally think of aerobic or cardio activities like jogging. But did you know that strength training (think lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises like push-ups and lunges) can improve the health of your ticker, too? When you lift weights at a moderate intensity, you get your heart rate up. This means that you're working both your muscular system and your cardiovascular system. And when you make your muscles stronger, you make your body stronger, which helps everything. So definitely do some resistance training a few times a week.
9. Go for Nuts and Plant Sterols
Your heart will love you if you eat six walnuts before lunch and dinner. Why? Because walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to decrease inflammation in the arteries surrounding your heart, so they keep your heart functioning longer and better. Walnuts will also make you feel fuller faster so you are less likely to overeat at meals. You may want to give pistachios a try as well. A recent study shows that a serving or two of pistachios each day may help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, as long as you are mindful of calories. One cup of pistachio nuts has about 700 calories!
Other nuts, such as peanuts, macadamia nuts, and almonds are a rich source of plant sterols, which block cholesterol absorption in the intestines. Studies have shown that eating foods enriched with plant sterols lowers LDL cholesterol. Eating 2-3 grams a day lowers LDL cholesterol by 6-15%, without affecting HDL cholesterol or triglycerides. Sterols are found in all plant foods, but the highest concentrations are found in unrefined oils, such as vegetable, nut, and olive oil. Some foods have also been fortified with plant sterols, including milk, yogurt, juices and spreads.
10. Healthy Nutrients your Heart Craves
- Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fiber.
- Eat fish at least twice a week.
- Limit how much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol you eat. Only 30% of your daily calories should come from fat, with very little of that from saturated fats.
- Select fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products.
- Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
- Limit your salt intake.
11. Get Heart Healthy Social Support
You know exercise improves heart health by keeping weight down and raising levels of HDL cholesterol, but doing it with a friend adds benefits. Finding an exercise buddy is really important because social support lowers your risk of heart disease and helps you stay motivated. Build up to 60 minutes of exercise a day, but even 20 minutes is better than nothing.
In fact, being married and having a strong social network may help protect against heart disease, according to a study of nearly 15,000 men and women. It turns out that people who have a spouse, go to church, join social clubs, and have a lot of friends and relatives have significantly lower blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors than loners.
12. Keep your Regular Check ups
- Blood pressure. Regular blood pressure screenings usually start in childhood. Adults should have their blood pressure checked at least every two years. You may need more-frequent checks if your numbers aren't ideal or if you have other risk factors for heart disease. Optimal blood pressure is less than 120/80 millimeters of mercury.
- Cholesterol levels. Adults should have their cholesterol measured at least once every five years starting at age 20 if they have risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity or high blood pressure. If you're healthy, you can start having your cholesterol screened at age 35 for men and 45 for women. Some children may need their blood cholesterol tested if they have a strong family history of heart disease.
- Diabetes screening. Since diabetes is a risk factor for developing heart disease, you may want to consider being screened for diabetes. Talk to your doctor about when you should have a fasting blood sugar test to check for diabetes. Depending on your risk factors, such as being overweight or having a family history of diabetes, your doctor may recommend early screening for diabetes. If your weight is normal and you don't have other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, the American Diabetes Association recommends starting screening at age 45, and then retesting every three years.
13. Drink a little Alcohol a day to keep Heart Disease away
For women, up to one glass of alcohol a day and, for men, up to two glasses a day can help reduce risk of heart disease. Alcohol may help the heart by increasing levels of HDL cholesterol. But keep in mind: More is not merrier. Alcohol also has calories and too much can cause high blood pressure, worsen heart failure, and cause heart rhythm abnormalities.
14. Measure your waist size to gauge your Heart Health
Take a tape measure and measure your middle. If your waist size is more than 35 inches in women or more than 40 inches in men, this tells you that you are at increased risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The best way to make a dent in that spare tire? "Get serious about being more active and get rid of simple sugar and white-floured foods in your diet, adding that these foods tend to take up residence right around the middle.
15. Low Salt intake to Low Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and reducing salt intake can help lower blood pressure. Cook with herbs in place of salt and make sure you read food labels to see just how much salt is in prepared foods. Aim for less than 2.3 grams [about a teaspoon] of salt per day. And keep up the good work when you are dining out. Ask for the sauce and salad dressings on the side because restaurant food tends to be heavily salted.
16. Sleep to your Heart's Content
People who sleep fewer than seven hours a night have higher blood pressure and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, making the arteries more vulnerable to plaque buildup. In fact, the latest research shows that people who do not get enough sleep are more than twice as likely as others to die of heart disease. Try to avoid caffeine after noon and develop a stress-free wind-down ritual before bed. Hint? Take a bath and don't pay your bills right before bed.
17. Go for Whole Grains
Refined or processed foods are lower in fiber content, so make whole grains an integral part of your diet. There are many simple ways to add whole grains to your meals.
- Breakfast better. For breakfast choose a high-fiber breakfast cereal—one with five or more grams of fiber per serving. Or add a few tablespoons of unprocessed wheat bran to your favorite cereal.
- Try a new grain. Experiment with brown rice, wild rice, barley, whole-wheat pasta, and bulgur. These alternatives are higher in fiber than their more mainstream counterparts—and you may find you love their tastes.
- Bulk up your baking. When baking at home, substitute whole-grain flour for half or all of the white flour, since whole-grain flour is heavier than white flour. In yeast breads, use a bit more yeast or let the dough rise longer. Try adding crushed bran cereal or unprocessed wheat bran to muffins, cakes, and cookies.
- Add flaxseed. Flaxseeds are small brown seeds that are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower your total blood cholesterol. You can grind the seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor and stir a teaspoon of them into yogurt, applesauce, or hot cereal.
18. Shop for Your Heart
Creating a heart-friendly diet starts with stocking your fridge with healthy and accessible foods. Prepare a list before you head to the store or farmer's market and leave a little time after your trip to set yourself up for success during the week. While scanning the aisles of a grocery store in the U.S., look for foods displaying the American Heart Association's heart-check mark to spot heart-healthy foods. This logo means that the food has been certified to meet the American Heart Association's criteria for saturated fat and cholesterol.
- Make healthy substitutions. Choose substitutions like 1% or skimmed milk instead of whole milk, soft margarine for butter, and lean meats like chicken and fish in place of ribs or ground meat. These substitutions can save you an entire day's worth of saturated fat.
- Make foods ready-to-eat. When you make healthy food easy to grab during your busy week, you're more likely to stay heart-healthy. When you come home from grocery shopping, cut up vegetables and fruits and store them in the fridge, ready for the next meal or when you are looking for a ready-to-eat snack.
- Use your freezer. Make healthy eating easier by freezing heart-healthy foods in individual portions. Freeze fruits such as bananas, grapes, and orange slices to make them more fun to eat for children. Be careful with portion sizes: the recommended serving of cooked meat is about the size of a deck of cards, while a serving of pasta should be about the size of a baseball.
19. Don't become a Couch Potato
Sitting for hours on end increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, even if you exercise regularly. Intermittent exercise doesn't compensate for the time you sit. Why? The lack of movement may affect blood levels of fats and sugars. Walking around periodically and if you're at work, standing up to talk on the phone.
20. Leaving Hostility and Depression unchecked
Are you feeling stressed, hostile, or depressed? It can take a toll on your heart. While everyone feels this way some of the time, how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health. "Those likely to internalize stress are in greater danger; research has shown a benefit to laughter and social support. And it's helpful to be able to go to someone and talk about your problems.
Everyone wants to have a healthy heart. Still, cardiovascular disease affects more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The good news is that some simple, everyday habits can make a big difference in your ability to live a healthy lifestyle. Follow these tips given to you and keep your ticker ticking healthfully.

Ibanez Jetking 1 Reviews
I've played for about 9 years. I play indie rock, with some good solos (half satch, etc...). I am also quite proficient at classical music, which is the reason that I have a Taylor and a Martin & co.
I think this is a wonderful guitar. It is my 8th, and I think it is my favorite, besides my presentation series Taylor and My JS1200. I think all novice and professional players should have a JTK1.Satchboogie143 rated this unit on 2006-06-08.

The Walkmen officially announced their hiatus toward the end of 2013, and we published an extensive cover story about the band's final days. Frontman Hamilton Leithauser has been releasing solo material ever since, and today, he and Walkmen guitarist Paul Maroon announced that they will put out a record together in August titled Dear God. Leithauser included the following statement about the record on the record's Etsy page:
Hamilton and I are happy to announce our new record, Dear God, a collection of 9 originals and 4 covers.
Come join us, dear listener. Meet Proud Irene as we give her an unsolicited lecture. Stroll down Utica Avenue because we've given up on the bus coming. Feel your heart break as Trudy Dies. Drift in and out during Light sleeper. Joylessly pound beers on Dad is Drunk. Fall, once again, for Annie's transparent bullshit because you're still loaded from Dad is Drunk on Annie's gonna sing her song. And that's just the first side.
The covers on Dear God are by Don Gibson, Will Oldham, Tom Paxton and VF Stewart. As for the originals, Ham and I have been writing songs by exchanging recordings every few days for the past 15 years. Sometimes these come together as songs with a full band. Other times, like two dogs chasing a neighbor's car, we hopelessly pursue what we liked about the original recordings, never to catch and, I guess, eat it. We often still think of the songs in their original form, as initial musical ideas put down on tape and shuffled back and forth between us. With Dear God, we wanted to make a record of songs the way we initially hear them.
Dear God is being released on vinyl only via our mail-order site. A deluxe version of the record will also be available, which will be the same as the regular version, except hand delivered anywhere in Brooklyn or Washington DC by Hamilton or myself. It'll be an extra fifteen bucks and we're not gonna get out of the car. And we won't have any cash so don't rob us unless you want a shit ton of Dear God records. Also, at some point almost immediately we will "run out" of deluxe versions. So hurry.
Paul and Ham
Listen to the first single "Proud Irene" below.
Dear God will be released in August. Preorder it on Etsy.

I'm not one for refrigerator magnets. One was given to me by a mate when my 2 youngsters were in the teens and as most teenagers, experiencing their set of teen struggles. Not only did I suspect the message on the magnet was an easy yet significant one for my kids, I liked it for its everyday benefit for anybody. 'If you need discordant results, try something new.' Twitter is something new. Have your eye on the target Social selling isn't a triumph and miss offer. As with many things that are quite new to us, there's risk, a learning process, a probable sense of incapacity and most significantly, the chance to generate different, and better, results. The best price comes from having an inclusive process that decreases the time expended with your social selling and social networking and lets you strategically position yourself as a writer. Again, I'm going to be the first prepared to admit this isn't for everybody.
And for lots of us, getting amazing results. Generally you must talk of ordinary everyday stuff. A solution for some writers is to hire a VA to help with some of the 'heavy lifting' like getting your profiles set up, helping you to establish what are the best locations for you to put a little time nto and helping to organise the procedure. Chatting only about your business will turn folks off, and any trust that you build with your Twitter for all your other efforts, will be lost. You need to tweet about your folks, your cool clothes, and then your business. Actually it may comeback, and turn the ones that read your other content off to that content too, making a negative affect.
Those who saw Twitter as a realistic business tool discussed the way that they were using it. A poll conducted by 6S Selling that encompassed 10,000 respondents reported virtually all are actively concerned in social media and saw the advantages first-hand. That, naturally, was way more beneficial than people who asserted, 'noise,' without comment. Some high spots included : seventy p.c of respondents using social media and having a Facebook account, 58 % blogging, 47 % on Twitter, and 61 p.c actively tracking what folks were saying about their brand on the web.

Amazing Grace: The Work of William Wilberforce
Meet William Wilberforce, anti-slavery crusader and co-founder of the world's oldest anti-cruelty society
by Bernard Unti
Film captures Wilberforce's devotion to animals
"Amazing Grace," a film biography of William Wilberforce, anti-slavery crusader and co-founder of the world's oldest anti-cruelty society, captures Wilberforce's deep devotion to animals and his determination to end the cruelty and suffering imposed upon them in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The film comes out exactly 200 years after Wilberforce's 20-year fight to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire ended, with the passage of the Foreign Slave Trade Act in 1807. As the filmmakers point out, however, many of the social problems Wilberforce sought to address, including cruelty to animals, are still with us.
Produced by Bristol Bay Productions and directed by Michael Apted, "Amazing Grace" stars Ioan Gruffudd as Wilberforce, with Albert Finney, Romola Garai, Michael Gambon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rufus Sewell, Ciaran Hinds, and Youssou N'Dour in supporting roles. The film opens in American theaters Friday, Feb. 23.
William Wilberforce
For two decades, William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led the struggle in the English Parliament to abolish slavery, and it was his principal concern as a politician and a reformer. But he did not limit his vision of a better world solely to his fellow human beings. Wilberforce was also a founding figure of the animal protection movement, helping to found the first society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and providing essential support for the first modern laws on the subject.
A man of intense personal piety and one of the outstanding lay Christians of his era, Wilberforce was a central figure in the Clapham Evangelicals, a group whose humanitarian sensibility expressed itself in support for a number of social causes, anti-slavery the most important. From the late 1780s to his retirement in 1825, in the British Parliament and in public life, Wilberforce worked to curb and eliminate slavery. After three attempts and twenty years, he and his colleagues secured the Foreign Slave Trade Act (1806-07), the decisive legislation outlawing the participation of British vessels in the slave trade. Although this legislation did not end slavery, it struck a serious blow to the institution throughout the world.
Even as the slavery issue dominated his personal and political life, Wilberforce found time to champion the cause of animal protection from the moment it first surfaced. He was present for and involved with every Parliamentary debate on cruelty issues, from the first failed proposal by Sir William Pultney in 1800 to the watershed breakthrough of Martin's Act in 1822. Over those 22 years, moreover, Wilberforce remained faithful to the cause, against objections that the subject of cruelty to animals was not suited to the dignity of a legislature.
The debate over cruelty was never confined solely to Parliament, of course. In his popular work, A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians (1797), Wilberforce had castigated field sports designed "to fill up the void of a listless and languid age." But as the eighteenth century drew to a close, controversy settled on the issue of bull baiting, one variant of a host of sporting activities in which animals were set to fight against one another. Every community had a bull ring, and the ritual took place in more or less the same form all over.
As one historian describes it, "A bull, securely tethered to a stake in the ground by a rope long enough to allow him freedom of movement, was set upon by dogs, often specially bred for the sport. While the enraged bull defended himself—tossing, shaking, goring unlucky attackers—the dogs tried to slip and claim the bull's sensitive lips or nostrils in their vise-like jaws. The skill of the attackers, the tenacity of the bull, his bellows of anguish, dogs hurtling through the air with their bellies ripped open, gallons of beer and the clink of silver all blinded in a fevered heat of uproar and excitement."
In the first weeks of the year 1800, a group of citizens journeyed to London from the countryside to speak with Wilberforce about the cruelties of bull-baiting. They were determined to ask Parliament to suppress it. Already involved with dozens of reforms, Wilberforce declined to lead their cause, but promised to support them and to sponsor the legislation if they didn't find anyone else willing to do so.
As it turned out, they did. In April 1800, Pulteney introduced his bill to prohibit bull-baiting. Unfortunately the bill never got to a second reading. Along with Richard Martin and others who would step forward whenever animal welfare legislation arose, Wilberforce supported it. He remarked that the usual summonses for attendance were not sent out to supporters of the bill, and he felt that it had not received the proper stewardship.
Wilberforce thought bull baiting "cruel and inhuman," and the fact that such events profaned the Sabbath in his mind made them still worse. Wilberforce called bull baiting one of the "multiplied plague spots" on England's complexion, "sure indicatives" of a "falling state." He felt sure, he told his colleagues, that if the principal opponent to the legislation, Windham, "or any other member, had inquired into the subject minutely, he would no longer defend a practice which degraded human nature."
Pulteney tried again in 1802 and Wilberforce, Richard Martin, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan supported his bill. Wilberforce spoke in its favor, cautioning his colleagues that the subject ought not to be treated with levity. Countering the argument that baiting was a source of great amusement for "the people," Wilberforce observed that the condition of the people "must be wretched indeed" if this were the case. This bill made it through the House of Lords, but was rejected in the House of Commons.
The next benchmark came on May 15, 1809, when Lord Erskine rose to introduce his bill on cruelty to animals, and delivered the first protracted discussion of the question in any legislative body. Erskine designed his legislation not to abolish a single pastime but to "suppress willful and wanton" cruelty to all domestic animals. The bill's scope was eventually limited to beasts of draught and burden. Along with Samuel Romilly and James Stephen, Wilberforce again spoke in favor. Erskine's bill passed the Lords but failed in the Commons by a few votes. B the time he introduced it again the following year, opposition had stiffened, and the subject would not gain further parliamentary discussion for more than a decade.
The public campaign against cruelty to animals did not end during this hiatus of legislative activity, however. Even without the benefit of anti-cruelty law, Wilberforce and others confronted cruelty in public where and when they could. Once in Bath, Wilberforce got out of his carriage to stop a cart driver from beating and kicking a fallen horse. As the man prepared to turn upon him, another driver stepped up and whispered "Wilberforce" in the driver's ear.
By 1821, the Irish M.P Richard Martin had emerged as the most ardent champion of anti-cruelty legislation in Parliament. Martin's bill "to prevent cruel and improper treatment of cattle" was introduced in the House of Commons. Wilberforce and Fowell Buxton were amongst its sponsors. In its second introduction, in 1822 the bill sailed through both houses and received Royal Assent on July 22.
Less than two years later, on June 16, 1824, Wilberforce was present with Martin, Buxton, and others, at old Slaughter's Pub, where the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was formed. The era of formal advocacy for animals had begun.
Bernard Unti, Ph.D. is senior policy adviser and special assistant to the CEO of The HSUS. He is the author of Protecting All Animals: A Fifty-Year History of The Humane Society of the United States, and is currently writing a book on the 19th century animal protection movement.

May 06, 2013 - by Mr. Max Bruning
Talking with Brendan Gregg and Deirdré Straughan of Joyent last Friday, we thought it would be a good idea to blog about training that Joyent offers, and a bit about how we do training differently from what a lot of people have come to expect from corporate training.
Over the years, I have heard the following from many students:
This gives corporate training a bad reputation, which is a shame because people miss out on good opportunities to learn new skills and to develop their own career.
In this blog, I'll start off by discussing what makes for a good instructor. Then, I'll dive into what makes for good course material and labs. Finally, I'll conclude with a description of what we are doing with respect to training at Joyent.
My view has always been that the instructor makes or breaks the course. A good instructor can make up for shortcomings in the material presented, and can either answer questions, or show students how to find out answers for themselves. Great material cannot make up for a poor instructor. Basically, if the material is good and the instructor is not good, students would be better off reading the materials and skipping the class time. The best situation is to have both a good instructor and good material.
I tell my students that if they want me to read the course materials, they can read them on their own, I'll take a few days off, and we'll get together at the end of the class for Q&A.
So, what makes a good instructor? A good instructor should:
Have insider knowledge: When delivering a product-related course, a good instructor needs insider knowledge: either they currently work for the company that develops the product, or have in the past and stay up to date. This means they will be familiar with:
Demonstrate: Show as many live demos as possible. This is useful for a couple of reasons:
As for course materials...I prefer to use documentation whenever possible in lieu of formal course notes. This documentation is usually online, as manuals or a wiki. If the documentation is good, there should be no need for course notes, aside from labs. This documentation is also updated, and stays relevant, long after a printed courseware manual would become out of date.
At least one place I did training had a whole team to do documentation (which was quite good), and typically used contractors to write courseware. The courseware always lagged behind documentation, and was never as complete or accurate. (I was told it was done this way because people couldn't teach from the documentation, but I think that if you can't teach from the documentation, either the documentation is not good, or you can't teach). Of course, if there is no documentation, or the documentation is not complete, you need course notes.
Good labs are much more useful than lecture notes. These should be as hands-on as possible, and should clearly demonstrate specific skills or concepts being taught. Lab work should not only reinforce the subject being taught, it should also extend student's knowledge. Labs should be non-trivial, but should doable within the time frame of the course.
Different people learn in different ways. Some people want to listen, some want to read, some like diagrams, some like code. In general, the best way to learn is to do, (see Tacit_knowledge). This is why good labs are so important. During labs, students start to find out what they did not know. One of the best classes I taught was when I was sick, so gave the students extra lab work instead of spending as much time lecturing.
I like diagrams. They show the different components of some piece of the systems, as well as interrelationships between them. I generally like to have the finished diagram in the material, but build the diagram from scratch on a white board, explaining each piece as I draw. For code, I like to show pseudo-code, but will dive into the actual code for specific questions.
Good course materials tend to be organic. That is, they change over time. Each instructor will typically have their own approach to teaching the material. The important thing is that the students learn the objectives that should be specified at the beginning of the class.
Currently, we are developing a set of approximately 28 different courses as part of a full certification program. Some of these courses have already been written and taught (see here for a list). I'll write more about Joyent certification in a future blog post. Students who have already attended Joyent courses will get credit towards certification. One of the goals for certification is to produce people whom companies like Joyent and others would want to hire.
With our certification program, we want to train students in all aspects of the cloud (not limited to Joyent). Training and certification is a means to further your career, and it's a good idea to have taking at least one training course every year. Don't take it lightly.
If you are a manager, allocating at least one training class per person a year keeps your staff current. This can be cost effective means to grow top talent. Not training them (eg, at risk they would then leave for higher paid jobs) can be worse:
"Zig Ziglar once said that there was only one thing worse than training (or growing) your staff and having them leave, and that is not training or developing them and having them stay." (via Alaister Low)
If you'd like to take courses at Joyent, check whether your company has a training or staff development budget. Most larger companies do, and it's generally "use it or lose it", so they'll be looking to spend it. Smaller and newer companies may not be accustomed to the idea of paying (and you taking time out of the office) for training, but, if your company is using the cloud at all (and, soon if not now, it likely will be), there's a good case to be made for training.
Instructors at Joyent are very experienced trainers, and they have also done and continue to do engineering work on products that Joyent sells and/or uses. We have very good rapport with the engineers in the company, and have extensive experience doing development, support, debugging/troubleshooting, performance analysis, and training. We do extensive demos, and spend a lot of time with course labs. Basically, Joyent does not use instructors who do not fit the model of what makes a good instructor which I described above.
Next week, I'll probably return to more technical stuff. As usual, I welcome any comments, questions, or suggestions.

Diaries are being readied, dates pencilled in and Government departments doing some rare joined-up thinking. I refer of course to a flurry of activity in Whitehall in advance of the publication of the childcare commission. I hear the Government's now thinking of making not just a day of it but an entire week.
The idea is to make a real impact by marshalling David Cameron and an array of his ministers to announce a different childcare-related issue every day. The whole exercise is currently pencilled in for the week after next. So now harassed officials are scrabbling around trying to come up with things for ministers to say. Aside from the commission itself - which will look at how to cut the costs of childcare, and how to increase supply - there's also the Government's response to Professor Nutbrown's review, which is examining how to improve qualifications for carers. There's even talk of rustling up something benefits-related from the Department for Work and Pensions.
What's clear is that all this sound and fury has got to signify something. Having been fortunate enough to be able to afford a nanny to help care for my children for nearly a decade, I also unfortunately know how expensive childcare is. But when you read, as I did this week, that on average, mothers need to work for more than four months before breaking even on their childcare costs you realise quite how serious the problem is.
The research also showed that mothers in the South West had to slave away for almost 19 weeks a year before covering their childminder or nursery costs.
So there's much at stake for the Government here.
While Conservative MPs obsess about Europe - in or out - parents up and down the country might be forgiven for wondering if the rather more germane question is work or not, as many judge that childcare costs make anything other than staying at home with the children uneconomic.
Elizabeth Truss, the Childcare Minister, has sent her proposals to Downing Street, so we'll wait to see what emerges - and whether she's won her battle to increase dramatically the number of kids childminders can look after. She hopes this will push down bills, but the Dutch system her idea is modelled on is now being abandoned, apparently because costs increased and quality deteriorated.
But ministers - and number 10 in particular - are sensitive to the suggestion that the Government isn't doing enough for women. It's a sensitivity that's increased since the Autumn Statement, which saw women particularly badly hit by the tax changes.
Today's disclosure that a third of families haven't been formally warned they're no longer eligible for child benefits only exacerbates the problem. So whether it's a day of announcements or an entire week, the fine words need to be followed by swift action.

Bright Ideas Education Grants
Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative (CCEC) and the Carteret-Craven Electric Foundation annualy fund more than $20,000 in grants for innovative, hands-on classroom projects in Carteret County and Havelock schools.
Since 1994, CCEC has awarded 627 grants totaling more than $466,000, with an impact on 116,561 students. Winning projects cover nearly all subjects, including science, math, technology, art, music and more. Here are this year's winners. The next grant cycle for the 2018-19 school year will open in the spring of 2018.
We take great pleasure in helping teachers put their innovative ideas in action for their students. hese grants are a meaningful investment in our students and future leaders.
Applications are judged in a competitive evaluation process, and judges will be on the lookout for projects that feature innovation and creativity. We have found that educators have a wealth of creative ideas for teaching, but often lack the resources to make their projects come to life. Bright Ideas program not only inspires students, it shows support for our dedicated educators.
Bright Ideas grants are available to public school teachers in K-12 classrooms across the state and are supported by all 26 North Carolina electric cooperatives. Collectively those co-ops have contributed more than $10.9 million to teachers for 10,400 projects benefiting more than 2.1 million students since 1994.

The Buffavento Castle is one of the three castles constructed on the Kyrenia Range as a line of defence against the Arab attacks - the other two being the St. Hilarion Castle, and the Kantara Castle. The Buffavento Castle is on a hill top 950 metres above sea level. In the Lusignan period (1192-1489), the castle is referred to as the "Lion Castle"; during this period the castle was used as a prison. In the Venetian period the Buffavento Castle was neglected, as castles on the coastline had emerged as being of greater use for the defence of Cyprus.
The castle consists of two sections: the lower castle and the higher section. The lower castle has an arched entrance. The rooms opposite the entrance were used for storing provisions and as dormitories. There is a cistern under the rooms. The red brick workmanship on the arches of gates and rooms is of the Byzantine style. Little has remained of the church that used to be here. ?Buffavento? means ?Insubordinate to the Wind?. The Trodos Mountains and a beautiful scenery is visible from the castle.
Location: Kyrenia

Oscar-winner jokes about boycott and pokes fun at Smith's cod-Nigerian accent in Concussion at the American black film festival awards
Jamie Foxx has reportedly told fellow actors of colour threatening a boycott of the Oscars over its all-white nominees to #actbetter if they want to win the top prize.
Appearing at the American black film festival awards on Sunday, the Oscar-winner joked that he and Denzel Washington were unimpressed with complaints over the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' failure to nominate a single actor of colour for the second year in a row.
"All these Oscar talks, I don't even trip about that," said Foxx, according to US Weekly. "I mean, what's the big deal? I was sitting at home with my Oscar, like 'What's all the hubbub?'"
According to Page Six, Fox added: "Me and Denzel were like, 'Hashtag what's the big deal? Hashtag act better.'"
Foxx cited the attitude of Sidney Poitier, who became the first black winner of the best actor Oscar in 1964 for his turn in Lilies of the Field. "I was with Sidney Poitier just a couple weeks ago, and in 1963 all he asked for was an opportunity to act," Foxx said. "That's all we have to do: opportunity. If you turn the camera on and say, 'OK … win an award … and action,' we'll all have taken 10 steps back. It's all about the art. Who cares about anything else?"
According to Page Six, Foxx also poked fun at Will Smith's cod-Nigerian accent in Concussion. Smith has denied that the joint decision with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith to boycott the Oscars over diversity has anything to do with his failure to pick up a best actor nomination for his turn as forensic pathologist Dr Bennet Omalu in Peter Landesman's film.
The 2016 Oscars ceremony will take place at the Dolby theatre in Los Angeles this Sunday, 28 February. Spike Lee, Tyrese Gibson and Michael Moore are among other notable figures who have called for a boycott or signalled that they will not be attending over diversity.

Napa, CA and Parma, Italy (May 7, 2007) -- Data presented today at the Pediatric Academic Societies' Annual Meeting demonstrate that premature infants with neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) have a nearly 20% better chance of survival if they are treated with Curosurf® (poractant alfa) Intratracheal Suspension rather than either of two competing surfactant therapies. "Differences in Mortality Among Infants Treated with Three Different Natural Surfactants for Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)," a retrospective analysis of a very large database maintained by Premier Inc., considered specific procedures and clinical outcomes for 24,883 premature infants treated for RDS at 191 U.S. hospitals from January 2003 to June 2006. The alternative surfactant therapies over which Curosurf® Intratracheal Suspension showed a nearly 20% mortality advantage are Survanta® (beractant) and Infasurf® (calfactant). Full disclosure of the data are being held pending publication.
Jatinder J. Bhatia, MD, Professor and Chief, Section of Neonatology in the Department of Pediatrics, Medical College of Georgia, commented, "Clinicians have long needed a robust basis upon which to choose surfactant therapies for premature babies suffering form RDS. Even though natural surfactants have appeared for some time to perform better than synthetic ones, and despite the significant differences in mortality that randomized trials have suggested among the three commonly available natural surfactants, there has been no single study comparing the mortality rates of all three natural surfactants."
According to Dr. Bhatia, "The present research analyzes summary data from an extensive administrative database of actual 'real-world' clinical outcomes. The sheer size of the sample as well as the consistency of its results across different hospital settings underscores the validity of the findings. The study controlled for six variables that could have confounded results, and derived data both for the total sample of nearly 25,000 babies as well as for a somewhat smaller group of more than 21,000 babies for whom complete and comparable data are available. For both groups, death rates were nearly 20% lower for babies treated with poractant alfa than for those treated with either beractant or calfactant."
RDS is a condition caused by a deficit in lung surfactant in infants who are born prematurely. Surfactant, a necessary and natural substance, is typically produced in the body about two months prior to birth and is required for proper respiratory function. By reducing the surface tension within the lungs, surfactant enables the lungs to inflate and normal breathing to begin at birth. However, when infants are born pre-term, surfactant may either be absent or be present only in insufficient quantities, preventing the lungs from inflating properly and possibly leading to the development of RDS. The administration of surfactants such as Curosurf® Intratracheal Suspension has been widely used to increase infant lung function and decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with RDS.
Rangasamy Ramanathan, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Associate Division Chief, USC Division of Neonatal Medicine, and Section Head, Division of Neonatology and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, LAC and USC Women's & Children's Hospital, noted: "I find it intriguing that this very large retrospective study confirms the direction of our own research a few years ago. In a randomized, multi-center trial that was published in the American Journal of Perinatology in 2004, we found a significantly higher survival rate among RDS babies treated with poractant alfa at an initial dose of 200 mg/kg than with beractant. Results from this large database analysis are consistent with the findings of our trial and other similar trials comparing poractant alfa and beractant. Furthermore, these analyses also demonstrated statistically significant survival benefits with poractant alfa treatment when compared with the other two natural surfactants available for clinical use in the United States. These results suggest that neonatologists should carefully weigh their choice of surfactant therapy in their clinical practice."
The study presented today was supported by a research grant from Chiesi Farmaceutici of Parma, Italy, manufacturer of Curosurf® Intratracheal Suspension, and Dey, L.P., US marketer of Curosurf®.
"We are pleased to have supported this study and are impressed with its results," said J. Melville Engle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dey, L.P. "To the extent that these data will affect clinical practice, these outcomes bode well for the health of premature infants and the peace of mind of their families."
Paolo Chiesi, Vice President, R&D Director of Chiesi Farmaceutici, concurred: "Curosurf® is already the most widely used surfactant in the world, and we look forward to its being used to treat more babies suffering from RDS in the United States. We are delighted that this large data analysis so strongly validates the clinical value of Curosurf®."

About Curosurf®
Curosurf® Intratracheal Suspension is indicated for the treatment (rescue) of RDS in premature infants. Curosurf® reduces mortality and pneumothoraces associated with RDS.
Curosurf® Intratracheal Suspension compensates for the deficiency of surfactant in preterm infants with RDS and restores surface activity to the lungs of these infants. Because Curosurf® works rapidly, infants should receive frequent clinical and laboratory assessments so that oxygen and ventilatory support can be modified to respond to respiratory changes. Physiological endpoints have not proven to impact key clinical outcomes such as mortality due to RDS. Clinical studies have not evaluated whether fewer doses or longer dosing intervals result in superior safety or efficacy based on clinically relevant endpoints. Transient adverse effects seen with administration of Curosurf® include bradycardia, hypotension, endotracheal tube blockage, and oxygen desaturation.
For media attending PAS, the presentation is available on Monday, May 7, from 3:00 to 6:45 PM, Exhibit Hall E, Convention Center, Board # 490.

Lilies of E-Field Online Shop12 October 2010
I was introduced to an online shop called Lilies of e Field, and I am quite excited to share it with everyone!
I think the best feature of this boutique is – their PRICES!
You can buy nice dresses and cute rompers for $28. Fashion tops for $25.
They add a new collection every week, they also have midweek additions to the range, and have lots of cool and cute styles. And the quality of the clothes is pretty good for what you pay.
Bernice Blue Cotton Shirt – Above. I'm wearing the shirt with my own pieces. I love the look of this outfit! I probably could have styled the shirt in a casual outfit, as a dress shirt, with jeans or leggings and a belt. But I wanted to try it in a more "stylish" work outfit, pairing it with a camel coloured skirt and tan shoes.
I also quite like their casual range, with lots of simple items for everyday wear.
Leather-look top – Above Left. Leather tops are right on trend, and I have been itching to try one in a few outfits. Planning to wear it with a pencil skirt or slim pants.
Pencil Cropped Pants – Above Right. Slim fit cropped pants (or cigarette pants) are very popular this season. And I quite liked this denim-look casual version. So comfy and perfect for the warm weather.
Lilies of e field is based in Singapore, and they have international shopping.
My Best Tip is to get onto their mailing list, and when they announce a collection, get in fast – because items sell out quickly.
Enjoy! xxx

The night after Ireland's vote counters announced the victory, by a nearly 2-1 margin, of a constitutional amendment establishing marriage equality, my daughter and her partner left their Dublin flat to party in the streets with other ecstatic Yes voters—thousands of lifelong residents alongside throngs of economic émigrés who had flocked back to their birthplace from London or Los Angeles or Seoul or Sydney as part of the unprecedented #HomeToVote campaign. My daughter found herself next to a man so overcome with emotion that he was unable to snap a picture of the occasion. He welcomed her offer to photograph him against the exhilarating backdrop, but couldn't stop his tears.
Ireland's vote is momentous and should be an occasion for worldwide joy. "I wanted to be an equal citizen in my own country and today I am," exulted Leo Varadkar, minister for health and the country's first openly gay cabinet member. Conventional wisdom holds that great gains in minority civil rights get imposed from above—from judges, from legislators, by executive order. Even Senator David Norris, so long a warrior for gender equality that he used to be called "the only gay man in Ireland," admitted that until recently he had assumed justice for his country's LGBT community would have to come through the courts. Yet here were the people of Ireland, by an overwhelming majority, enshrining marriage equality in the national charter, leaping past the other social democracies of Western Europe and the still ruminating US Supreme Court. How Ireland got here—how this small country, in barely a generation, shook off the tangled legacies of Britain's colonial sodomy laws and Rome's theocratic stigma to emerge on this sunny Saturday, with rainbows marking the sky, as the world standard-bearer for gay rights—is worth both contemplation and celebration.
The huge Yes vote debunked the conventional dichotomies that even leftists use to describe the Irish public: Catholic versus non-Catholic, youth versus the old, rural versus urban. Quite the contrary: This triumph owes a great deal to an unofficial coalition of LGBT activists, millennials, the elderly, those overseas citizens who returned home, and members of the clergy—as well as to citizens in none of the above categories.
Take the presumption that the marriage-equality movement belonged to Ireland's cities and cosmopolitan elite. Fact: If you wipe Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, Ireland's three largest cities, off the electoral map, the Yes Equality margin was still prodigious—61 percent to 39 percent. The Yes Equality campaign held majorities in the most rural, tradition-bound constituencies in the West—Mayo, Donegal, Kerry—counties with typically older and more conservative populations. And in Roscommon–South Leitrim—the single constituency in which the No campaign held a majority—a 2.8 percent swing would have sent results the other way. Many of the rural people, who it was once presumed were herded to voting booths by their pastors with instructions on how to cast their ballots, this time made plain that they voted with their minds not on the pulpit but on the lives of their own and their neighbors' children.

Some Sunday Morning
I hang outside these
southern steeples white

It was always dollar bills before;

Communion was too sweet then;
I never did like kool-aid.
And w(h)ine drives me mad.
We watch the ladies
drive on by in Baptist best

nylon born from eggs called 'nude';
real classy, ladies.
Lips purse,

snap closed quick
because the grungy girls
at church corners are up to no good
with their sweet little cigars
for the lambs.
The bread was always so stale;
bodies are supposed to have bite.
There's this guy at the door.
He says,
'I miss your knees,
and the way you used to go

But you should have thought of that

At noon yesterday (Friday, January 16, 2009), Forecastbar was telling me the outside temperature was -6 degrees Fahrenheit.
To illustrate exactly how cold it was, I took a mug, filled it with water, microwaved it to boiling, went outside, and threw it into the air. The water instantly vaporized.
Yeah. It's cold.
Stay inside where it's warm. And since you're not going anywhere during this cold wave, you've got time to download Firefox, Forecastbar Enchanced and Linux!

Her twin brother, Victor, was in the front seat, critically burned by a chemical, authorities said, and their father was lying on the ground nearby, unresponsive. Police said the father doused the boy with a chemical so toxic it sickened rescue workers.
The father, Jorge Barahona, also apparently put gasoline on himself in what he later told police was a futile suicide attempt by setting himself on fire.
Jorge Barahona has pleaded not guilty to attempted first-degree murder in the injury of Victor, who has been released from the hospital.
Authorities haven't said how Nubia was killed.
Carmen Barahona also faces seven counts of aggravated child abuse and seven counts of child neglect. Her attorney didn't immediately respond to an e-mail, and police refused to elaborate on what led to the charges. The head of the police department was expected to talk to the media Monday, according to the agency's news release.
State child welfare officials have come under heavy criticism over missed opportunities to help the twins after an anonymous abuse allegation was called into a hotline Feb. 10 -- four days before the children were found.
The caller said the twins' feet and hands were bound with duct tape and they were kept in a bathtub as punishment. Child welfare officials also believe the girl was being starved.
The officials have described a disturbing picture of a Jorge and Carmen Barahona, who adopted the twins, an 11-year-old autistic boy and a 7-year-old girl from foster care. The couple has been the focus of at least three abuse allegations in the past several years, but nothing ever came of them.
