Lordswood asbestos transfer depot approved
Plans to expand a waste asbestos depot in Kent have been approved by a planning inspector following an appeal.
Medway Council rejected the application by Asbestos First to set up a transfer station in Chatham, after receiving hundreds of objections.
Chatham MP Tracey Crouch said the inspector had overturned the decision against the will of the people.
The company said it would look at ways of working with people living nearby to build up their trust.
Asbestos is already stored in vans on the site in North Dane Way, Lordwood.
A section of the depot will now be used to transfer asbestos between vans and locked skips for storage before being removed every two weeks for disposal.
'Very disappointed'
Medway councillors had a number of environmental concerns, as well as worries about the security of the site, the number of vehicles coming and going and the proximity to homes.
"I am very disappointed that the asbestos transfer site has been given permission," said Ms Crouch.
"Local residents, local politicians and the whole council's planning committee decided that it shouldn't."
Asbestos First managing director Debbie Hales said the depot should not pose any health risk to residents.
"The waste must be contained at site," she said.
"It is treated before it is removed, it is then double-bagged and the bags are clean before they go into the waste compartment.
"I am going to be here every day. I don't want to be next to something that would cause a risk to myself, let alone anybody else who works here."

Arrrrgh, just looked it up:
"Nor may many pracitioners be aware, that Ushitora-no-Konjin, the folk deity who inspiredt the foundress of �moto and whom Ueshib revered daily at a small shrine in Iwama, was of Daoist origin."
But for this statement she gives no source, just states it.
She then compares the daoist internal alchemy and also cosmology to Ueshibas understanding of aikid�. I haven't read it yet. It's on my list ...
It seems to me she walks the same direction like you do in your blogposts. But while you pick up one piece of the puzzle at a time and look at it in detail, she tries to give an overview.
There are three primary sources in Japanese:
Sunadomari Kanemoto: Aikid� kaiso, Tokyo 1969
Ueshiba Kisshomaru: Aikid� kaiso, Tokyo 1999
Ueshiba Morihei: Takemusu aiki, ed. Takahashi Hideo, Tokyo1986
There are two or three more among the secondary sources, but most is English or French. And most of them you will know, I think. And Aiki News or Aikido Journal is cited a lot ...
Thanks Karsten!

Something astonishing is happening in China. An unfolding story that one Chinese friend told me, "could be a turning point in conservation and wild bird protection in China."
On Sunday 11 November local people discovered many sick and dying ORIENTAL STORKS (Ciconia boyciana) at Beidagang Reservoir, Tianjin (just 30 mins from Beijing by train). These globally endangered birds – with a restricted range in East Asia – had been poisoned illegally by poachers using a chemical called carbofuran that, although banned in the EU, Canada and many other countries, is commonly available and used, legitimately, as a pesticide all over China.
The storks were possibly unintended victims of well-organised and, sadly, all-too common poaching activity intended to catch swans, ducks and geese for the restaurant trade.
Carbofuran is mixed with cereal, or given to fish in small man-made pools. Birds lose consciousness after eating the bait, are caught by hand and injected with an antidote. The victims are then shipped – usually alive – to restaurants, primarily in southern China. The demand for wild birds is high and they are sold as a delicacy, with many consumers, particularly in southern cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, believing that wild birds taste better than farmed produce, and they are prepared to pay a premium. A wild goose or swan can fetch several hundred Yuan (100 Yuan = 10 GBP). The business is highly profitable.
The scale of this activity in China, and the range of methods used by poachers to catch wild birds, are covered in an excellent, but sobering, article in the most recent issue of Goose Bulletin. The authors estimate that between 80,000 and 120,000 ducks, swans and geese are caught illegally in China for the restaurant trade every year.
So what makes the recent case involving Oriental Storks at Beidagang such a big deal?
The answer is the incredible public reaction, led by local people and driven by social media.
The events unfolding at Beidagang, although desperately sad, could have been much worse were it not for some dedicated and brave individuals. Local birders, together with volunteers, officials from the Forestry Administration, police and even firemen have been working together to help catch, treat and care for these birds. They have set up 24/7 patrols to deter the poachers. All of this has been transmitted on social media and the coverage has gone viral. The Chinese micro-blogging service, Weibo, has over 500 million users (on a par with the global membership on Twitter) and activists have been providing regular updates that have been 're-tweeted' by a growing band of followers. As I write this post, the latest update has been 're-tweeted' over 900 times to more than a million users in less than one hour.
This is leading the traditional print and visual media. Already, we are seeing articles relating to this poisoning incident in Chinese and English language media, both local and national.
All of this follows a recent outcry against the illegal trapping and hunting of wild birds in China, also led by social media. Three weeks ago a brave undercover journalist released a shocking video about hunters using spotlights to confuse migrants in Hunan Province before gunning them out of the sky. The Chinese public was outraged and Weibo was alive with condemnation of the hunters and also criticism of the authorities for being slow to act. Shortly after this major outcry, local birders discovered over 2km of illegal mist nets at Beidagang, the site of the current Oriental Stork tragedy. Local activists, many of whom are now on site trying to save the storks, led a 'day of action' involving over 60 volunteers, and even the Chinese army, to take down illegal mist nets in the reedbed. This was covered by local and national TV as well as print media. Due to these two events, the number of articles relating to illegal bird trapping and hunting nationwide has exploded.
The campaign to eradicate the illegal hunting of birds is gaining momentum. And the scale of the reaction by ordinary Chinese people all over the country has been overwhelming, demonstrating clearly that the vast majority of Chinese people care deeply about their wild birds. It will be very hard for the authorities to ignore.
None of this would be happening without the incredible dedication, passion and energy of a small number of volunteers at Beidagang. There are many people involved but a special mention must go to Xunqiang Mo (aka "Nemo"), a local student, and Jingsheng Ma, who have personally led the effort to cut down the illegal nets and are now leading the ongoing operation to save the Oriental Storks. They are heroes in every respect.
Here is a personal account from yesterday evening, provided by Zhu Lei, a Beijing-based birder monitoring the situation:
"There is heart-breaking news. 8 more dead storks been found today, which raise the total number up to 21 !
The ground team located 3 evidently man-made small water pools (around diameter of 1m, depth of 0.3m), one of them contained a big empty packing bag (900 g × 20 packets – although the scene is absolutely terrible, it does not necessarily mean the whole bag of poison has been used there) of pesticide. We suspect that the poachers have put the toxic chemical directly into the water in these pools or used the same methods as those 2 Jilin guys (filled the fish with toxic, then put into the pools) to poison the birds.
According to signs on the bag, the pesticide used in this massacre is nothing but Carbofuran. The bags were already taken by the police as potential evidence. Some tissue also been taken from the dead birds for further forensic tests. The cause of death will only be revealed as the test report is released (although everything points to it being poisoning with carbofuran).
The volunteer team (mostly from the local community and nearby Tianjin city) should be applauded for their hard work. Among them, a bicycle enthusiasts team is worthy of mention for they've taken the duty to patrol the dam which surrounds the wetland in daytime, and at least 3 of them have tried hard to wade into the muddy wetland searching for sick birds. Several local rich bird photographers (I think the guys who can afford the big Canon or Nikon big lenses and expensive cameras could be called 'rich') have provided financial support to cover spending such as other volunteers' accommodation and food, etc.
People from government agencies also contributed to the action. Today, even a team of firemen was called to the spot, due to lack of proper equipment (e.g. waders, boats) to deal with the situation faced in the wetland. They just try to do what they can over there.
24h ground patrolling has been launched last night, and the patrol has been equipped with night-vision goggles donated by a businessman from Tianjin.
Tomorrow, the team will focus on locating more poisoned lure pools and will destroy them. A plan to provide safe food (mainly small fish) to the storks still at the wetland will be carried out tomorrow.
Special thanks to Nemo for his great devotion and efforts in saving those birds on-site, and kindly receiving my interview tonight. He is a real hero and deserves our highest respect."
Respect indeed.
You can follow the latest developments with the Oriental Storks at Beidagang and the broader campaign to eradicate illegal mist-netting at this website. Already, many people have expressed their support for these brave and committed individuals and their comments are making a real difference to the volunteers. Knowing that there are people all over the world supporting their efforts is a real boon for them. If you haven't already, please take a moment to comment to show your support. This could just be the decisive battle in the war against illegal trapping and hunting of wild birds in China.

BitterblueBook - 2012
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Book definitely needs a trigger warning - it involves the rape and torture of children.
This is a very slow moving book, but after it starts up it's very exciting and adventurous... The romance works well and is sad at some times... I did stay up reading this and dont regret it! I recommend this book and hope you enjoy!
(Also please hover over but don't click on my username (blue_wolf_710) above and follow me... Thank you!!)
Bitterblue comes into her own as Queen through some dangerous adventures, love, betrayal, and coming to grips with who her father really was. I loved her journey!
I think that Kristen Cashore is an amazing writer, and that she was able to make this book interesting, I just think it should have had more of a plot. Bitterblue basically is a book telling you how to run a kingdom. I still read it, but skipped many of the boring scenes.
Bitterblue happens eight years after Graceling and it follows the tale of young queen Bitterblue who is still discovering many new things about her kingdom. It was very beautifully written and full of suspense.
In Graceling, Bitterblue was a 12-year-old princess of Monsea who witnessed her mother fatally pierced with an arrow at the hands of her father, King Leck, and managed to escape with her life with the assistance of new friends Katsa and Po. Eight years later Bitterblue is the reigning queen of Monsea, but her advisors are keeping her so busy with paperwork that she feels disconnected from her citizens. On a whim, Bitterblue sneaks out in disguise one evening to explore her own city and finds herself in a pub, where she is simultaneously fascinated and horrified to hear stories of her father recounted as entertainment. She is equally surprised to make the acquaintance of Saf and Teddy, two friendly, intriguing young men who have no idea of her true nature and whose business dealings seem rather suspect. The more time Bitterblue spends with her new friends, the more dangerous her nightly excursions become, and the more she doubts what she knows about the past. This was a solid improvement over Fire, though not quite as enjoyable as Graceling. I loved Bitterblue in disguise, and the idea that sometimes the only way to learn the truth about something is to observe anonymously. I rooted for her relationship with Saf. The extent of the horrors Bitterblue eventually uncovers were darker and more exaggerated, I think, than they necessarily needed to be in a novel written for a teen audience. I regret that the ending seemed to leave some plot elements untied, or at least intentionally vague as to invite the reader to self-interpret. After all she's been through, I wished to be reassured that there was some happiness and fulfillment in store for her.
Title/Author: Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
Read by: Anna, Teen Central Librarian
Summary: Bitterblue first appeared in Kristin Cashore's Graceling as a young princess running from her father, the king. She was ten years old then. Now she's 18 and struggling as Queen to understand exactly what happened during her father's reign and how it's still affecting her people. During her search for the truth, she befriends a thief and realizes that King Leck used his grace to do the most unspeakable things to his subjects.
Series/Standalone: Book 3 in the Graceling trilogy
Genre/sub-genre: Fantasy
Diversity: yes (In reading Bitterblue, I've come to realize there is more diversity in the previous books than I originally thought, but they aren't for the reader to know about, until book 3.)
Relatable characters: yes
Would I re-read?: Maybe-yes
Personal thoughts: This was a very difficult book to read, as much as it was very good. Bitterblue faces many obstacles in her search for the truth, and many of those obstacles bring her down, making her doubt herself. This was hard to read, but also finding out exactly why King Leck hired his healers as his main advisers was also difficult. I won't sugar coat it, this book is dark, and a lot longer than the other two. However, that said, it does a nice job of ending the trilogy and wrapping up all the important bits, while leaving enough open to be realistic. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy with a lot of realism thrown in.
This was not my favorite of the Graceling books, but I still loved it. I connected really well with the characters and I was left wishing she'd write more.
Extremely satisfying conclusion to the Graceling series, focusing on Bitterblue, who is now queen of Monsea and trying to recover her kingdom from her father's terrible reign, and featuring lots of familiar and beloved characters from the first book (and even a brief appearance from someone from the second). I'm rating it slightly lower than the other two books only because the plot was a BIT convoluted -- but, having said that, the characters' development and interpersonal dynamics were so flawless it makes up for the complicated plot, and Cashore's writing is, as ever, lovely and memorable. Recommend this series so, so highly.
The third installment in the Graceling Realm series is everything you could want it to be. It seamlessly brings together the first two books in the series as it explores the terrors of Leck- a graceling with the ability to control others minds- through his daughter Bitterblue. Even after his death, Leck haunts the kingdom of Monsea, and as Bitterblue strives to be a good queen for her people she is faced with the terrors of her father's reign. However, Bitterblue is not alone. With the help of friends Bitterblue begins to unravel Leck's atrocities and the plots that threaten to keep her kingdom from moving on. Cashore truly has a knack for sucking the reader into her world! I can't get enough of her characters.

SummaryAdd a Summary
At eighteen, Bitterblue is a Queen with no power who feels confined and smothered by her advisers. Defiantly, the young Queen begins sneaking out of the castle at night in disguise to walk the streets and learn the truth about the thirty five year long spell that entrapped her Kingdom. With the help of two thieves, Bitterblue is determined to move herself and her Kingdom toward a better future.
It has been nine years since Katsa killed King Leck and ended his sociopathic reign, and his daughter, Bitterblue is on the throne. Bitterblue is trying to be a good queen, but it's hard in a kingdom full of secrets. Suspecting her advisers are lying to her, Bitterblue takes to roaming the streets in disguise to find the truth of her kingdom. What she finds is a web of conspiracies, and betrayals that will test her abilities as queen. Can one young woman heal a kingdom that was wounded for 35 years? Can she even come to terms with her own past?
Eighteen-year-old Bitterblue, queen of Monsea, realizes her heavy responsibility and the futility of relying on advisors who surround her with lies as she tries to help her people to heal from the thirty-five-year spell cast by her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities.

Book Review of "Chocolat" by Joanne Harris
A Unique Story Well-written
This book review is meant to be the companion to my movie review about Chocolat, starring Juliette Binoche, Judy Dench, Lena Olin, and Johnny Depp. My discussion will focus on the differences between the novel and the movie with regard to the plot and character development. There are very few differences between the two, and the variances from the book that the movie presented did not detract from my enjoyment of either. Instead, they enriched my appreciation of both.
The themes and climax of both the book and movie were the same - the town of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes enjoys a rebirth on Easter Sunday as a result of the graceful presence of the lovely Vianne Rocher and her chocolaterie, La Celeste Praline (book). In the movie the name of her shop is Chocolaterie Maya.

Literary Landscape
The novel Chocolat, by Joanne Harris is very well-written. The detailed description of the setting and characters invite the reader to become part of the story as it unfolds. The entire story takes place within a six-week period, that of the Catholic season of Lent. The unfolding of events in the book is slow and delicious.
Joanne Harris is an award-winning novelist with cultural ties to both France and England. She writes with authority about her subject because Vianne reflects the qualities she remembers and the stories she has been told about her great-grandmother. It will be my pleasure to find and read copies of her other novels, as well.
Character Development
The characters in the book are reflected very accurately in the movie Chocolat. They are developed more deeply in the book, and having knowledge of their thoughts is important to appreciating their significance to the story.
Vianne Rocher
The novel moves the reader beyond the dialogue to the thoughts of the heroine, Vianne Rocher. Her descriptions of the other characters and how they relate to her are very colorful, yet very human. Her care for and tolerance of the basic humanity of the townspeople are evident in how she sees them.

One way to learn a language is by immersion, so why not immerse yourself in French while immersing yourself in chocolate?
Pere Reynaud
The other character whose thoughts are brought to light in the novel are those of Pere Reynaud, the Catholic Priest, and Pastor (Cure) of St. Jerome's Parish in the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes. He is the villain of the story, for his harsh preaching and grasping at false piety make him intolerant. He seeks to put La Celeste Praline out of business by Easter, and makes himself Vianne's enemy.
In the movie, Pere Reynaud is portrayed as the Compt de Reynaud, the Mayor of the town, and the priest is a separate character. At the end of the book, his character disappears from town. At the end of the movie, the priest preaches redemption and the Mayor is softened. Though I prefer the ending to this character's story as played out in the movie, his disappearance from the town at the end of the book had the same end result as the Mayor's epiphany - the entire town relaxed and warmed up to one another as a result of the presence of La Celest Praline , Vianne Rocher's chocolaterie. The climax of the story in both the book and the movie was the 70th birthday party in honor of Armande.
Josephine Muscat
In the movie, Lena Olin's character is named Pauline. The corresponding character in the book is named Josephine. Her husband, Paul Marie Muscat, is repugnant in both the book and the movie, in the eyes of everyone in the town.
Roux, the gypsy leader, is a darker character in the book than in the movie, but he remains on the side of light and love. It is Josephine who has the long-lasting romance with Roux in the book. But he does make love to Vianne, and this results in the promise of new life. It is one of the reasons she stays in the town instead of moving on. This detail can only be known by reading the book.

Narrative Point of View
The point of view switches between Vianne's and Reynaud's throughout the book. Their thought patterns are developed, and the conflict between how they view the world and the people of the town becomes poignant and electric.
Vianne is consistent and brings warmth and love to the town through the love she pours into making the chocolates, and the care she takes in finding the perfect candy for everyone who walks into her shop. The priest is furtive and judgmental, and enacts his own demise because of how tightly wrapped in his own mire he has become. He cannot stay to face the members of St. Jerome's parish after Vianne finds him on Easter morning in her surprise chocolate display. He does not stay celebrate mass on Easter Sunday. Yet, at 6am on Easter morning, the full carillion of Easter bells ring out a new era of redemptive love for the town, and Vianne's Easter Festival is successful.

I've had this book on my too be read list for a while now, can't wait to read it.
I saw the movie several times before reading the book, and I have to say that both made me crave chocolate so much! Nicely written review.
Great review! I bought a paperback issue of the book, when I was in college (early 90s) and watched the movie, too.
From then on, my chocolate cravings never stop!
Thanks for the review. I've added the book to my reading list. I remember seeing promos for the movie. Voted up and useful.
Enjoyed reading this, now I feel like reading the book!

Why free energy?The hunt and demand for free and clean energy systems that can actually work, has become more pronounced over the last few decades. The whole concept of free energy has raised its head due to a number of factors.
What's workable?Attention has already been drawn to the amount of fossil fuels we burn as a human race. According to ecologists and scientists, gas emissions and our excessive material needs have poisoned our air, destroyed our natural habitats and caused irreparable damage to the ozone layer.
While the debate rages on, there are still some small ways of creating free energy that's getting the attention of the average man or woman who wants to improve their understanding of free energy and how it can best be utilized.

Top 10 Family Dog Breeds
by admin on 19/01/12 at 2:53 pm
After much discussion – and perhaps a bit of wheedling from the kids – you have decided to bring a dog into the family. Congratulations! The addition of a dog to your home provides much love and happiness and allows you to bond with your family as you learn to care for your furry, four-footed friend. Once the decision is made, though, next comes the question of what breed to adopt. A number of factors will determine the size of your new pet – whether you live in a house or an apartment, whether or not you live near good parks – but there are also recommended breeds that are considered best suited for families.
Let's take a brief look at ten of the more popular family dog breeds:
Basset Hound – The droopy personality of the Basset may not inspire many active trips to the park, but this lovable hound is rather low maintenance.
Beagle – Beagles have great dispositions and are often high-spirited. Many love to play, and they are very loyal.
Collie – The active Collie is a good choice for a family with older children, and active families that like to spend time outdoors.
Dachshund – The well-known "weiner dog" is a popular breed with families and singles. Some believe they are easier to care for than other breeds, and they are quite loyal and friendly despite a tendency to bark.
Golden Retriever – A popular breed among families, the Retriever is arguably also one of the friendliest types of dogs.
Irish Setter – Known for their gorgeous long russet coats, Irish Setters are easy to train and amiable around families.
Labrador Retriever – Whether it's a Black or Golden Lab, you can be assured of many fun memories with this loving breed.
Newfoundland – Hardy and playful, the Newfoundland can grow to be a rather large dog, so if you have a good-sized yard or access to a dog park this may be the breed for you.
Papillon – "Papis" are adorable and very smart, and good if you live in an apartment. They are also quite delicate, and therefore is recommended for homes with older children.
Pug – With it's scrunched-up face and inquisitive eyes, the Pug may not win beauty contests but the breed is very active and able to keep up with your kids.
Of course, there are many other breeds of dog to consider for your family as well. It is important, regardless of breed, to choose the right one for you. Take your time and get to know potential dogs before bringing one home.

When matters become extremely dire and disheartening, as they have been in the blatantly dysfunctional Congress, historians are usually the designated dispensers of perspective. As bad as things are, we like to say, they have been worse and the nation somehow survived.
But for the life of me, I cannot recall an occasion when a minority of elected representatives with such an absurdly partisan agenda was capable of stopping the government of the United States in its tracks. To be sure, stoppages have happened before, but not with a looming debt ceiling decision, which has threatened to throw the American economy back into recession, send the global financial markets into free fall and permanently damage America's fiscal reputation. Such mindless political and economic devastation is unprecedented.
Clearly, most of the tea party radicals in the House of Representatives come from gerrymandered districts, which function as cocoons that resist penetration by alien ideas, like Keynesian economics, Darwinian evolution, global warming and yes, the potential popularity of Obamacare. They live in a parallel universe in which a rejection of any robust expression of government power is an unquestioned and unexamined article of faith.
PHOTOS: Protesting Obama at the "Million Vet March"
Where does this irrational but obviously deep-felt impulse come from? Talk radio and Fox News obviously feed the beast. But the seminal convictions of the tea partiers defy any modern conceptions of government power. How far back in history do they want to take us?

There were initially fourteen volunteers for the run but by the time running day arrived our number had been whittled down to seven by injury, illness and a reluctance to brave the bad weather. Our logistics were delightfully simple – drive to Brig O'Turk, run round the route then drive home again although this didn't stop Alan from making an interesting detour near the end. By the time we arrived at the start the rain had lightened up and soon fizzled out once we got going. We quite quickly split up into a fast group and a slow one and the two groups weren't to meet much on the way round.
Once we had climbed out the head of Gleann nam Meann some slushy snow began to appear on the track. Further on there were a number of deeper snow drifts but they did little to slow our progress. What we hadn't anticipated was that most of the burns running across the track were in spate so our leaping muscles were well exercised. We all regrouped by the cairn at the highest point of the track for a supposed lunch stop. It was agreed that walking and eating would be better than sitting & eating in the cold wind. There must have been some gobbling going on in front as the leading group soon disappeared from view.
Soon afterwards the sun came out but I couldn't find anyone to photograph – the fast ones were mere specks ahead in the distance and the slower ones were way behind so I just took a few photos to show you what the terrain was like (plus a couple of photos from Alan). I was on my own for a long way down to the loch; as I got lower the sun grew ever warmer and I began to wonder if my face was going to get sunburned. We eventually all regrouped at the car park then stopped off for refreshment at the Lade Inn on the way home. A good day was had by all.

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD boy has been strangled to death by his family dog who tugged on his scarf until he passed out.
Tragic John Bruno was playing outside in the snow with his pet dog – a hound mix – when the animal began pulling at his scarf.
The little lad's mum, who was inside the house in Warrington, Pennsylvania, when the horror accident took place, came out and saw her son face down in the snow while the dog kept pulling at the scarf.
His mother quickly pulled the dog away and brought Bruno inside but he was already unconscious.
The five-year-old was taken to hospital but died on Saturday.
Most read in news
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office said that Bruno had died from ligature strangulation and ruled the death as accidental, Philly.com reported.
A family friend Amy Ploss Herbert paid tribute to little Bruno on a GoFundMe page she set up to raise money for funeral expenses.
"John Bruno was a vibrant 5 year old boy," she wrote on the page. "His smile and boundless energy was electric. He loved Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, Superheroes and being silly.
"Above all else John loved his mom, dad, and big sister."
She added: "John's life was tragically cut short. On March 18, 2017, he was called from God to become an angel in heaven. He is loved by so many and will be missed tremendously."

Master painter-decorator Debbie Travis makes one point repeatedly about selecting room colors: Be brave.
This message is underlined in her television show, "Debbie Travis' Painted House," which airs in more than 50 countries, including the United States (check local PBS listings).
When she speaks at decorating seminars, which she does frequently, she discourages conservatism.
"If we were going to choose a color for a room, and this was a group of five-year-olds," she tells her audiences, "I can guarantee that no one would choose taupe or beige. When we become grown-ups ... we get intimidated."
She sees no reason to be timid when the frontiers of style and taste are expanding rapidly. "Fashion now is 'choose what you like,' " she observes.
What Ms. Travis hopes her show, seminars, and books will do is open up the brave, new world of home decorating possibilities just as Julia Child and others have paved the way to culinary adventure.
"Twenty years ago America was a meat, potato, and two veg. country," she says. "Now, if you are invited to dinner at someone's house and they make sushi, you're not going to have them imprisoned. And if you go to an Italian restaurant, you might get Chinese or fusion food. We've accepted that. It's part of our daily lives."
The same should be true, she says, with paint. "Paint is cheap," she reminds, and mistakes are more easily remedied than ever before, given today's array of products and information.
Mistakes aren't forever
In particular she sings the praises of primers, some of which are now capable of covering the strongest colors, essentially providing a fresh start. Primers are also made to adhere to shiny surfaces - laminates, linoleum, or varnish, for example - greatly increasing the ease and options in remodeling. They can even be used to paint bathroom tiles.
People are now employing more painting strategies, says Travis, who learned about color washes, glazing, sponging, and myriad other tricks of the trade through trial and error.
There's really no reason to panic when mistakes occur, she says, because most are correctable. And besides, "it's just a wall. You're not tinkering with a car."
An Englishwoman with a background in TV, she turned to interior decorating after marrying and moving to Montreal. There, she began painting her new home, a project so impressively done that it soon garnered her many outside jobs.
While Travis encourages a go-for-it approach in selecting vibrant colors, she calls choosing them from a one-inch chip "madness. This is where people really go wrong because colors always end up much darker than you expect. You think you have a primrose yellow for the living room, but it comes out looking like a huge banana."
Even if this happens, the finish can be toned down. She suggests using either a color wash, in which thinned paint is brushed or wiped on, or mixing in some white to create a softer color.
Although Travis says it's not so important to be "matchy-matchy" in choosing colors, she says the paint industry is doing a better job in helping simplify the selection process. Paint manufacturers are grouping colors - pastels, whites, heritage colors, etc. - in collections. Fashion pacesetters like Ralph Lauren and Martha Stewart are also getting into the act with their own paint lines, which define what colors are "in".
One simple suggestion Travis shares is to pre-test colors on white foam-core boards, which are inexpensive and widely available. Another strategy is to designate a little-used room, such as a guest bedroom, for experimenting.
Certainly, she says, if one has a passion for indigo blue, it's probably best not to use it in a room where people spend a lot of time and where softer colors may be more suitable.
When asked the best place to "go wild," she recommends a bathroom because it's usually the smallest room in the house. "If you make a hideous mistake it's not the end of the world to paint it out," she explains. Little-used dining rooms are another great place to be dramatic, as are children's playrooms.
Tricking the eye
And do people like the results of their painting adventures?
Definitely, according to the e-mail and letters that flood into her TV show. "The letters we get are all about 'I did it and I love it,' " she says. "Few people who use bright color don't like it."
If one isn't comfortable redoing the walls, Travis says doors and stairs offer opportunities for playing with paint.
"Most homes today are built with flat hollow-core doors, but there's no reason they have to look like white fridges around the room," she says. "There are a hundred ways to make them a feature."
Trompe l'oeil - French for trick the eye - is one favorite technique. Her latest book, "Debbie Travis' Decorating Solutions" (Clarkson Potter), includes instructions for transforming a flat door into one that appears to be paneled. Another project is a crazy kids' door, which becomes a whimsical work of art.
Not only is paint affordable, Travis considers it an excellent tool for accentuating favorite room features, or camouflaging least-favorite ones.
"Let's say you've got a grungy kitchen with dark, wood-veneer cupboards and an ugly faux marble laminate countertop," she says.
"The cupboards are easy to paint with these new primers. You can make them so interesting and beautiful that your eye is drawn to them, and away from the countertop. In this way, you can reinvent with paint what you've already got."

LAS VEGAS — Carmelo Anthony and Mike D'Antoni have put the red, white and blue ahead of any discord that may have festered when the two shared the orange and blue in New York.
Anthony and the former Knicks coach had their reunion Thursday at the U.S Olympic team's hotel before Team USA's first meeting. They will see each other every day during this week-long training camp and across the next five weeks.
D'Antoni resigned as Knicks coach on March 14, hours after Anthony denied a Post report he preferred to be traded at the deadline unless he was assured there would be a new coach next season.
When he was asked about his relationship with Anthony, D'Antoni kept motioning his hand forward, with a nervous laugh.
"Today, I got to go forward,'' D'Antoni said. "They go forward. Now I'm just a fan in Westchester and I could boo you guys. We've talked a couple of times. We'll be talking every day.''
Explaining his resignation, D'Antoni said: "I thought in my mind it was the right thing. I know it was the right thing for the team and that's it. It's not ever one reason. It wasn't just that. A lot of things were going on. It was better for everybody. And it did work out for everybody.''
Anthony said he and D'Antoni did not need to clear the air about anything. Anthony has been publicly steadfast in saying he and D'Antoni had a good relationship, but admitted he hadn't spoken to his former coach since the resignation.
"We joked, we laughed and talked,'' Anthony said after the U.S. Olympic Team practice yesterday. "I told you back then we were fine and I had nothing to do with it. As long as he knows and I know, everything else is irrelevant. He knows I had nothing to do with [his departure]. I know I had nothing to do with that. It's a decision he and [Knicks owner James] Dolan came to and they made that decision.''
Au contraire. Anthony had a lot to do with D'Antoni's departure. On the day he resigned, D'Antoni pushed management to trade Anthony for the Nets' Deron Williams because Anthony didn't fit into his up-tempo, share-the-ball philosophy. Dolan, who broke up the team for Anthony, didn't want to hear that.
D'Antoni wanted the offense to run through Jeremy Lin, who ignited the Knicks' 8-1 run in February, when Anthony was out with an injury.
Once D'Antoni resigned, Anthony talked about a new focus on both ends of the court and played terrifically in March and April, though he had a so-so playoffs. D'Antoni said he took notice of Anthony's late surge, but there was an edge to his remark.
"That's what he does,'' D'Antoni said. "He's done it a lot of years. It didn't surprise me. He had an unbelievable month, that's for sure.''
The Knicks will need more than a month of great play from Anthony for them to be contenders next season. Anthony took to interim coach Mike Woodson and lobbied for his return, and Woodson signed a 3-year contract extension over Memorial Day weekend.
D'Antoni said that was the right call, but one source close to the former coach said he was offended when Woodson immediately started talking about "accountability'' after D'Antoni was out the door.
During the first Team USA practice Friday, Woodson attended to watch Anthony and center Tyson Chandler, the only 7-footer on the U.S. team. Woodson and D'Antoni hugged — a bit awkwardly — and chatted for several minutes.
"He deserved to come back and he did,'' D'Antoni said. "It was the best thing for the continuity of the team. And Jason Kidd coming in, and if you can get [Iman] Shumpert back, things will be good, real good.''
Perhaps D'Antoni would have been able to lure Steve Nash to New York, since the two are tight. But D'Antoni said he thinks Nash would have still headed to Los Angeles because he wanted to be close to his kids in Phoenix.
D'Antoni said he believes the Knicks made out fine with Kidd, who is 39.
"He will be a great leader,'' D'Antoni said. "He'll definitely be good whether Lin comes back or not. I'm assuming he would.''
Asked how Kidd's influence will help Anthony and the Knicks' Big Three, D'Antoni said: "I don't know how to answer that. I'm not going to answer. That's for Woody to figure out. Anytime you add someone of his class and talent at his position it's good. And they'll figure it out. That's what he does. He wins.''
As first reported by The Post, D'Antoni will sit out next season, and watch his son finish his senior year at his Westchester County high school. D'Antoni said he also needs knee-replacement surgery in November.
D'Antoni, who in four seasons with the Knicks coached nearly 56 players, will be back in the mix next summer. Some league officials see D'Antoni as a future Lakers coaching candidate because Nash and Kobe Bryant adore him.
Now D'Antoni and Anthony are on tour together, first in Vegas, then to Washington before heading to Spain and then London for the Olympic Games.
"Maybe we'll visit the Grand Canyon together,'' D'Antoni said.

Charlie Kindel spoke about the Future of Mobile to a packed house last night. I was going to write up a recap of the event but Curt Woodward with Xconomy did an execellent job! Enjoy!
Everyone fails. If you've never failed, you're not trying hard enough. This pretty much applies to everything in life.
I've been following the story of Mo Isom, the "Former LSU goalie will try out for kicker but no matter what happens, she knows it's not the end" an article by Jordan Conn.
It's not about the result, it's about the journey. For Mo Isom, she failed again and again, but, she never quit. Sure she didn't make the team as kicker, but, you can tell she did give it everything she could. There's a lot to say about a person's character who doesn't quit – there's a level of dedication and commitment that is very admirable. The odds definitely stacked against her. The physical punishment of killing her body in a weight room and emotional rigor that comes with everyone questioning, judging, and doubting her. It's so much easier to just quit and move on to something else that's easier but that becomes a person's story. Not knowing much about Mo Isom, I'd say she's exceptional, the drive, determination, her faith, the way she handles herself when the answer is "no" after 18 months of going after a goal. Wow. Definitely no doubt that there will be HUGE things in store for her.
While it's great to hear about people who succeed — the more interesting story is about the people that face the challenges that really test their fortitude. That's what defines us.
Crazy looking. I just created my LinkedIn InMap to see what my professional world looks like visually. There's definitely some massive solar systems out there where some of the people I happen to know are incredibly well connected. I am definitely having a fun time looking at who are at the center of each different colored clouds.

The world is on fire about "mobile". Yes, it's old news (early 2012) the number of smartphone sales has exceeded the number of PC sales. Ok, but where are things really headed? If you're a small business is now the time to think about making sure that you're website is mobile friendly? I just looked at my Google Analytics and 26% of my website traffic is now coming from a mobile device. Of that 82% is coming from an iPhone or iPad. The remaining 18% comes from Android, while Microsoft Windows Phone is just a fraction of 1%.
We are very lucky to have Charlie Kindel, a Seattle angel investor and former general manager of Microsoft's Windows Phone unit, who will be presenting on the Future of Mobile!
Register here for the event, August 28 at 6pm!
Here's my list of questions for Charlie:
- Should we develop on iOS, Android, or Windows Phone or can we just "Write Once Run Anywhere"?
- Is HTML5 going to nuke native apps?
- How will Android fix their fragmentation problem?
- Who's going to win the mobile payments battle?
- What are people doing on mobile that they aren't doing online?
- What does Microsoft have to do to get back in the game?
What are your questions for Charlie?

Some people might call me a little competitive. I think there could be a little truth to that.
I just finished up a two month no-carb challenge with my Entrepreneur Organization forum mates. I am always up to a challenge and this is the one time where I think I probably should have walked away from the challenge and said I don't need to go through this. There's nothing to prove. Proving that I have will power? I certainly didn't need to lose weight. While I think it's good to "detox" from various things once in a while like quit coffee, alcohol, sugar, red meat… and it's probably good to stay off carbs for a little while too. But, the length of time — two whole months was just way too long.
What did I learn? That I shouldn't accept every challenge that comes my way. I also learned that I probably shouldn't eat three plates of pesto pasta because it tastes good. I will likely keep my portions under control going forward. Competition is good but this is one thing that I wish I would have never participated in. What's something that you've done that you wish you hadn't?!
Updated: 11:45pm thanks @lamiki had to add this into the post!

Did you hear that new Prodigy hit, "Carstarter"? Fallon McElligott has brought back the old "Ultimate driving machine" trip for BMW, in stylish b&w, with the usual guy speeding on that winding, completely deserted road, but now it's been updated for an Xtreem audience: it's got techno beats! The groovy techno is composed by Paul Robb at Montclair, N.J.'s MessHall, where exec producer Andy Messenger says the soundtrack does what "spoken words never could." In fact, there are no spoken words. Titles flash studly aphorisms like, "Happiness is not around the corner, happiness is the corner." Credits also to CDs Bruce Bildsten and Tom Lichtenheld, writer Dave Pullar and producer Bob Wendt. Directed by Lance Kelleher at Ritts/Hayden; edited by Michael Heldman at Spot Welders.
The guy must be heavily influenced by Richard Pousette-Dart. A new series of promos for illustrator Keith Graves gets a hit-or-miss treatment from The Richards Group, Dallas. Explains agency art director Doug Eyring, "Keith's stuff is always kinda wacky," hence the concept Eyring and writer Brad Walk developed based around a punctured dictionary page. The words that are hit are worked into the accompanying Graves illustration-a Girl Scout, a giraffe and a gladiator in one; a hold-up, a holstein, a homburg and a homemaker in another; and a basketball, a bass, a bastard and a bathtub, seen here. Additional credits to creative director Jim Baldwin and photographer Barth Tillotsen.
If this keeps up, the McDonald's in Times Square will be adding a McRoo. Hide your Foster's, a fresh load of Australians will be roaming the streets and invading the creative departments of New York in the next few weeks. Adam Hunt, a copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi/London, is about to move to Saatchi's New York office, where he'll join fellow Aussie Tim Brown. Compatriot Marcus Jackson, a founder of defunct Australian hotshop Omon, is on his way to O&M/New York, and Sally Overhue, who has worked at Omon and in Singapore, is heading to Cliff Freeman & Partners. Ben Nott (pictured here with Hunt at the '96 Cannes festival), who was at Saatchi/London and later signed with London production company Outsider, is also on his way to Cliff Freeman. Why New York? Says Hunt, "Because New York rocks," a sentiment that sounds charming only in a foreign accent.
Sandbank seals the vault. Legendary director Henry Sandbank says he was always afraid of leaving the business like some "punch-drunk prizefighter, still insisting that he could do it." Funny analogy, and sadly true in too many instances, but not for this champ.
Instead, Sandbank has chosen to hang up his viewfinder with class and dignity at age 65, while still in fighting form, to boot. After having worked in the advertising industry for well over 40 years, first as a photographer and then as an award-winning director of commercials, Sandbank recently announced that he is retiring from the business and turning over his company, Sandbank Films, to his son, David, also a director, and his executive producer partner Robert Berman.
Citing his desire to pursue a number of personal projects, Sandbank admits that suffering a mild heart attack recently helped him reach a decision he's been "hemming and hawing about for years." He says he'll now devote himself to the kinds of things he's wanted to do for years but never had the time, such as teaching and working on an ambitious series of short archival films featuring notable personalities in fields such as art and architecture.
Clearly this transition represents a generational handoff, and a rare one in the commercials business. Berman, 36, and Sandbank, 31, plan to continue the company and expand it, and they have already signed on director David Anderson from Chelsea Pictures. While the younger Sandbank has only been directing since 1995, he grew up in the business and spent the last four years working directly under his father as lighting technician and operator.
Sandbank's announcement seemed to surprise some of his former colleagues and collaborators, such as RGA Studio's Robert Greenberg. "Henry's signature look was in taking very complicated information and ideas and bringing them down to their basic essentials," he remarks. "He's also a real gentleman who did a lot to raise the level of work in our industry."
"Henry's a perfectionist," adds Rubin Postaer head of production Gary Paticoff, for whom Sandbank shot the Honda "Art Gallery" spot. "He's the kind of director that you hoped would be interested in your project."
And what of longtime friends and clients like Paticoff who call to ask him to take just one more job? "I've already turned quite a few people down," says Sandbank. "It was easy for me, because I really feel committed to changing my life and doing something more valid with my career." He says he'll miss the "personal challenge and the creative process of making ads, but not the business of making them, and certainly not the pressure." Instead, he's looking forward to finding new ways to express himself creatively. "I left a lot of stuff on my desk," he says about the boards he walked away from when he finally made up his

Currently, Georgia's 7.4% unemployment rate places it shamefully at 39th in the nation. One Republican, however, has decided to do something to change that. Newly-elected Sam Moore is pushing for sweeping regulations that would…allow registered sex offenders to go where they wished including schools and playgrounds?!?
Goddammit… In yet another showing of family values-ness, the freshman Georgia Representative wants to make his mark by introducing HB 1033, also known as the 'Stop Oppressing Uncle Bad Touch" bill (before you Google, he doesn't actually call it that). Moore argues that this monumentally stupid legislation is necessary because once a sex offender has done his or her time, they should not be watched. At all. Because 'intrusive government.'
Moore's signature legislation would get rid of the crime of "loitering" altogether and would enable convicted sex offenders to once again proceed unhindered to the nearest playground, church camping trip, or petting zoo. Moore says that the risk that a person will re-offend is far outweighed by the increase in FREEDOM.
Moore's bill would also prevent law enforcement from forcing anyone to identify themselves for any reason. Cherokee County Sheriff Roger Garrison called the bill "simply insane." Garrison said on Friday that "Sexual predators are one of this country's most violent (type of) offenders. If there's any equal it would be an out-and-out serial killer." He is horrified by allowing predators to "once again lurk around our parks, around our schools, around our swimming pools."
Former GOP chair Bob Rugg is furious with Moore's bill. "I can't imagine a bill like this even coming out of committee,"Rugg said on Friday. "It just doesn't make any sense to me to eliminate that shield of protection (for children). From the way I read his own comments about it, he (thinks he's) protecting the Fifth Amendment right to silence. That's silly."
Fellow Republican Rep. John Pezold told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he is "shocked and appalled anyone would suggest that pedophiles should be allowed to loiter near day care centers, schools — the places where our children learn and play." Pezold added, "If Mr. Moore's mission was to come down to the state Capitol and alienate his colleagues by staking out positions that no one in their right mind could agree with, he can now hang a 'Mission Accomplished' banner behind him because he has done just that."
Moore, the sole supporter of the bill, says this is not about protecting sex offenders. This is about the right to remain silent…whatever that means.
No information on whether or not he has received donations from NAMBLA is available.

Market abuse and the enforcement committeeAuthor Stephanie LuizSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 151 –172 (2011)More Less
The globalisation of financial markets brings with it many opportunities but just as many challenges. These challenges are encapsulated in the statement of the objects of the Securities Services Act 36 of 2004 (the 'SSA'). These objects include the aim of increasing confidence in the South African financial markets and promoting international competitiveness. If the integrity of our financial markets is maintained and investors have confidence in these markets, the potential for investment (especially foreign investment) is increased. One way of maintaining the integrity of our financial markets is to regulate against market abuse, but more importantly, to ensure compliance with such regulations.
Developing a methodology for assessing restraints within dual-distribution systems in competition law complaints in South AfricaAuthor Rosalind LakeSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 173 –196 (2011)More Less
Determining how dual-distribution systems should be categorised in competition law complaint analysis has been an issue that competition authorities worldwide have grappled with. Disseminating products by way of a dual-distribution system creates conceptual difficulties as it is a relationship which has both vertical and horizontal dimensions. As the Competition Commission is becoming increasingly vigilant and effective in prosecuting complaints in South Africa, this is an issue that local competition authorities also have to consider with greater frequency.
The constitutional implications of the new section 73A of the Competition Act 89 of 1998Authors: Louise Jordaan and Phumudzo S. MunyaiSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 197 –213 (2011)More Less
Various markets in the South African economy have historically been characterised by monopolies and high levels of economic concentration. These monopolies and concentrations of economic power were mostly enjoyed by several state-owned companies operating in strategic sectors of the economy and flourished largely with the aid of state concessions. They existed at the time of economic isolation during apartheid, in order to keep the domestic economy self-sufficient. The banking sector in South Africa remains highly concentrated to this day, with four major banks having a combined market share of over 90 per cent. As other observers have noted, at the time of the regime change in 1994, a mere five investment conglomerates accounted for 84 per cent of the capitalisation of the stock exchange and one of them by itself accounted for 43 per cent.
Examining disability-related medical expenses : lessons from Canada?Author Lee-Ann SteenkampSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 214 –234 (2011)More Less
In terms of s 18 of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 ('the Act'), natural persons may deduct certain medical-related expenses for income tax purposes. Section 18 thus deviates from the general rule of tax deductions by permitting a deduction for certain medical expenses that were paid by the taxpayer, which are, in essence, private in nature.
Locatio conductio leno : employment in the third-party prostitution industryAuthor Sarah Rutherford SmithSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 235 –246 (2011)More Less
Prostitution in South Africa is currently criminalised by the Sexual Offences Act 23 of 1937, the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 32 of 2007, the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977, and various municipal by-laws. These laws criminalise all activities of prostitution activities and all those involved in those activities.
The role of the board of a South African defined contribution pension fund that offers investment choiceAuthor Simphiwe M. MdluliSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 247 –268 (2011)More Less
The Myners Review considered, among other things, the role of trustees and pension providers in investment and the role of the individuals in investment decisions.
Can unidentified protected strikers engaging in misconduct be retrenched? FAWU on behalf of Kapesi & Others v Premier Foods Ltd t/a Blue River Salt River : case notesAuthor Nicci Whitear-NelSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 269 –279 (2011)More Less
Employees who engage in protected strike action are protected, inter alia, against dismissal for that involvement. However, they remain vulnerable to dismissal for misconduct during the course of the strike, as well as to dismissal for the operational requirements of the business, even if these requirements arose as a direct result of the strike action.
Die tweede trauma van slagoffers van seksueleteistering by die werkplek : in die steek gelaat deur die bestuur : Mokone v Sahara Computers (Pty) Ltd : case notesAuthor Karin CalitzSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 280 –290 (2011)More Less
Victims of sexual harassment in the workplace often experience a second instance of trauma when management turns a deaf ear to their complaints. South African courts have held employers liable for such neglect on the basis of the employer's common-law duty to protect the employee against physical and psychological danger. An analysis of the judgment in Mokone v Sahara Computers (Pty) Ltd indicates that the Court concluded that because the harassment was not reported by the manager, the structures in place were inadequate, without hearing evidence on the nature of the structures.
Of arbitration, politics and the price of neglect - South African international arbitration legislation continues to lag behind : Bidoli v Bidoli : case notesAuthor W.G. SchulzeSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 291 –299 (2011)More Less
Thirteen years ago, in July 1998, the South African Law Commission (the 'SALC') published a report in which it examined the South African Arbitration Act 42 of 1965 ('the Arbitration Act'). The SALC found that the Arbitration Act was defective for the purpose of international arbitration. In this regard it referred to the fact that upon South Africa's re-emergence in 1994 after economic isolation for many decades, many South African laws, including those pertaining to international trade and investments, were considered outdated (see SALC Project 94 on Arbitration: An International Arbitration Act for South Africa (1998), available at http://www.justice.gov.za/ salrc/reports/r_prj94_july1998.pdf (accessed 1 Apr 2011) in par 1.1).
The insurer's right to salvage, related issues of ownership, and unrelated issues of salvage liens : Hollard Insurance Co Ltd v Wagenaar t/a Race Designs : case notesAuthor J.P. Van NiekerkSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 300 –313 (2011)More Less
The exercise by a property insurer of its right to salvage is a common occurrence in insurance practice. Somewhat surprisingly, though, it is not an issue arising often in litigation, most probably because the value of such salvage would in the usual case not justify the expense of litigation.
Corporate Governance, Tom Wixley & Goeff Everingham : book reviewAuthor Mpakwana MthembuSource: SA Mercantile Law Journal = SA Tydskrif vir Handelsreg 23, pp 314 –315 (2011)More Less
Traditionally, corporate governance arrangements were contained in company legislation and also to be found in the common law. It has now become a major issue in business. The passing of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and the release of the King Report on Corporate Governance (King III) for South Africa 2009 has brought about the focus on stronger, effective and improved quality corporate governance.

Second Son Lyrics
Artist: Overkill
Album: Feel The Fire
Damned at birth, the child king born.
The prophets warned beware the second son.
Born to lead! And then raised in peace and harmony
My fellow man and I live as one.
Together forever!
Forever in the kingdom of the son...!
Watched in fear, another day the final year!
The light that fills our sky begins to die.
Haunted dreams.I sleep in terror wake in screams!
The scent of burning flesh fills sacred skies.
Skies filled with slaughter.
And slaughter from the order in my mind.....!
History unfolds as the prophets had fortold
And lightning strikes, the fire fills my eyes.
Hell hath claimed another soul now
Watch the spirit die.
Evil minds now rule my destiny!!!
A Sinner by my side won't set me free.
Thoughts of pain and power fill my veins.
All fear my name!!!
You were warned... of the child born...
Feel the fire! Expect no mercy!
Olympus burns! Father forgive me!!!
Know my wrath brother before me

I've been wanting to create a new set of state fair cards, so asked my friends on Facebook for suggestions. There was an overwhelming response of foods on sticks, so over the next few days I'll highlight four of those.
I was compelled to start with pork chop on a stick since I just passed a food booth at our local fourth of July celebration selling these delicacies.
Oh, and happy Independence Day!
You can find my state fair cards here.
