Here's an all-France Gall mix, featuring some of my favourite songs of hers from 1963 to 1972. I say some of because, well, I love pretty much all her stuff from that era - it took some restraint to only choose 38 songs! You'll find some of her absolute classics here, as well as some lesser-known songs that are equally wonderful. After making the mix, I realised I drew a lot from my favourite album of hers, the 1967 psych-pop classic, 1968. I also seem to have included every song where she does her adorable version of scatting, which is really just the best thing ever. As well as her French songs, I've included a few of her German tracks, the Japanese version of 'Un prince charmant' and the Italian version of 'La Quatrième Chose'.
I've already gone into what I love about France Gall's music, so I'm not going to get descriptive here, but just let the music speak for itself. My hope is these selections would make someone new to her music fall in love with it as much as I did. And perhaps there are a few things here that are not so readily familiar to established French pop fans.
Who needs the same old sappy Christmas tunes when there's a whole world of weird and wonderful festive music to explore? I love digging into the many fascinating, original takes on holiday music that countless artists have recorded over the years. And sometimes, the more bizarre, the better. My first Christmas mix this year is a collection of some of the most enjoyably unconventional seasonal tunes that I've come across. Some are simply delightfully eccentric, while others get genuinely weird... and even a little creepy. If you need an antidote to the cliches and suffocating sentimentality that can be hard to escape at this time of year, hopefully you'll enjoy this mix of freakish festive goodness!
Johnny Hallyday
15 June 1943 – 5 December 2017
French pop has lost its long-reigning king. It feels inconceivable – both because the young, beautiful Johnny of fifty years ago lives perpetually in iconic images and sounds, seeming forever 'L'idole des jeunes', and because today's Johnny seemed indefatiguable, still full of a zest for music and life. I really have no words for now that would do an even adequate job of capturing who Johnny was or the immensity of this loss. So I thought I'd just share a collection of few favourite things: photos from those gorgeous, seemingly endless pictorials in the pages of Salut les copains and Mademoiselle Age Tendre (I sometimes wonder how much of their lives the idoles spent in front of the camera!), some of his best songs, and a few videos that showcase what a charismatic performer he was.
Click on any of the photos for a larger version.
Beware of my Halloween mix this year: it will magically seduce you, take you to heights of beauty and pleasure... before you soon find unsettling and downright terrifying things start to happen. Erotica and horror combine in this blend of vintage soundtracks, dark folk-pop and other sensual, yet deadly, delights.
Please note that this sorcery gets very saucy indeed so you probably won't want to play this at work or around children – unless you're prepared to answer a lot of questions.

I was hoping to do a Christmas mix this year but haven't had a chance, so I thought I'd share one I made very last minute last year. It features Christmas-themed and seasonal yé-yé and rock songs from 1960s France and Québec.

In case you were wondering, "dans le vent" (literally, "in the wind") is a term that was used in France at the time to denote something was hip, trendy, in fashion. A source I have from 1967 says the term came about as an equivalent to the English "up to date", which other terms like "avant-garde" and "à la page" didn't quite convey. If you've seen any sixties French youth magazines from the time like Salut les copains or Mademoiselle age tendre, you'll see the phrase plastered all over its pages, in article headings and advertisements. I'm not sure exactly when it started but it was around by 1963 and had really taken off by 1964. The Beatles film A Hard Day's Night was released as 4 garçons dans le vent in France and Quatre gars dans le vent in Québec – essentially, "Four hip guys".
Fans of the peculiar charms of French-born songstress and actress Claudine Longet may know the beguiling 'Electric Moon' from her 1971 album, We've Only Just Begun. The song was written by Donovan – whose brilliance and versatility as a songwriter tends to be seriously underrated, in my opinion – and produced and arranged by Nick DeCaro. Assigned by A&M Records to work on Longet's music in 1966, DeCaro was the chief architect behind her brand of lush easy-listening, arranging and/or producing seven of her eight albums (including 1974's Sugar Me, which remained unissued until 1993). Andy Williams, Longet's then-husband, liked DeCaro's work so much, he hired him to work on his own records.
- Claudine Longet - Electric Moon (1971)
- Claudine Longet - Como la luna (1971)
Longet also released a Spanish language cover of 'Electric Moon' as 'Como la luna'. She appeared on a show called Estudio Abertio on Spain's TVE around early October 1971, performing this and the B-side 'Mucho tiempo mas', a cover of Linda Ronstadt's 'Long, Long Time'.
Donovan never released a version himself but, according to this EIL listing, did record a demo acetate for Longet. The only recording of Donovan performing the song to have surfaced is in a 1970 film called There Is An Ocean, which was unreleased until its inclusion in the 2005 box set, To Try For The Sun.

As winter drags on, seasonal sickness is in full swing. This time of the year can be a difficult time for our health with many illnesses occurring more often during the winter months. From cold and flu viruses to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), wintertime can have our minds and bodies feeling bogged down. Although a direct cause is not known for why we get sick more often in the winter, many experts believe decreased sunlight, proximity to one another and dry air all play large roles. Besides good, old-fashioned handwashing, one of best ways to keep yourself healthy this time of year is through immune protection. Eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep and taking a variety of vitamins and supplements will keep your immune system strong. Nourish and protect your body this winter with these beneficial vitamins and supplements.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D, known as the "sunshine vitamin," is essential for maintaining good health. It has been shown to reduce the risk of flu and respiratory infections, including pneumonia. Due to decreased sunlight during winter, our vitamin D levels begin to fall and our bodies struggle to absorb and maintain adequate amounts. Our bodies can store vitamin D, but only for a short period of time. Vitamin D deficiency can cause a wide range of problems from depression to weight gain. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for vitamin D vary from person to person based on age and diet, so talk to your doctor before adding it as a daily supplement.
Vitamin C
The golden child of the vitamin family, vitamin C is well known for its ability to boost immune systems. Experts say it is one of the safest and most effective nutrients available. Even though vitamin C is not an effective cure for the common cold, it can strengthen your immune system which helps protect you against future viruses that often spread throughout the winter months. Besides boosting the immune system, vitamin C has been shown to protect against immune deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer. Before starting a regime, carefully consider the type and amount of vitamin C you plan to take. High doses and acidic forms of vitamin C can upset the stomach.
Zinc is another friend of the immune system. It has been shown to help prevent the common cold, as well as decrease the severity of symptoms. According to various studies, the most effective way to use zinc to reduce symptoms is in lozenge or syrup form and within 24 hours of the first sign of a cold. Zinc is also effective as a preventive measure. In recent studies, zinc appeared to prevent colds in people who used it over a course of five or more months. It is, however, important to note that zinc taken in large amounts can be toxic and can cause copper deficiency. Before starting a zinc regime, talk to your doctor for recommended amounts and durations.
In recent years, probiotics have gained tremendous popularity, and rightfully so. These live microorganisms have been shown to benefit both intestinal health and overall immune health. Researchers have discovered that certain strains of probiotics can protect against a variety of viruses including H1N1 influenza virus and rotavirus. They've also been shown to be helpful against common cold viruses. Probiotics or "good bacteria" can be found in foods like yogurt, fermented vegetables, kefir and kombucha. Even though the bacteria can be found in the foods we eat, many of us don't get adequate amounts due to poor diet or other factors like taking antibiotics. Adding a probiotic to your daily routine is an easy, immune-boosting way to stay healthier this winter. With a wide variety of brands and types on the market today, it is important to take a high-quality, multi-strain supplement. Consult your doctor for recommended amounts and strengths.

Socktoberfest: 4 Ways to Cast-on Toe-Up Socks
Maybe you like to use every yard of sock yarn. Perhaps you want to try on your socks as you go. Or it could be that Kitchener stitch gives you hives. There are plenty of reasons to knit toe-up socks. Try one of these four methods and find your favorite fit.
Turkish/Eastern Toe
This super-simple invisible method can double as a provisional cast-on.
1. Hold two needles (dpns, 2 cir needles, or both ends of 1 cir) parallel. Leaving a 6″ (12.5 cm) tail in front, bring yarn from front to back between needles. *Wrap working yarn over top of both needles, around front, and under needles to back. Rep from * until number of wraps over top needle equals half the number of stitches needed. Make sure that you have the same number of wraps on bottom needle (Figure 1).
2. Work stitches on top needle; stitches should be seated so that right leg is in front (Figure 2). Note that last stitch is anchored only by the tail; be careful not to pull free (Figure 3).
3. Work stitches on bottom needle (Figures 4 + 5).
4. Continue working in the round, increas¬ing as called for in pattern until full circumference is achieved.
Variation: Figure-eight Cast-on
Begin as for Turkish cast-on, with needles held together and tail at the front. *Bring yarn over top needle, then between the needles to the back, behind and under bottom needle to front, and again between needles to back. Rep from * until the num¬ber of wraps over the top needle equals half the number of stitches needed. Make sure that you have the same number of wraps on bottom needle; yarn is at back (Figure 6).
Work across top needle as for Turkish cast-on. When you rotate needles to work across bottom stitches, left legs of stitches will be seated in front of needle. Work through back loops to correct mount.
Square Toe
An unusual cast-on that wraps around the toes from side to side. Adjust the number of stitches to meet your needs.
1. Provisionally cast on four stitches. Beginning with a RS row, work eight rows in stockinette stitch (Figure 1).
2. Knit one row; do not turn. Rotate work 90° clockwise. With a spare needle, pick up and knit six stitches along left edge (Figure 2).
3. Rotate work 90° clockwise, then knit one row across provisionally cast-on stitches. Rotate work 90° clockwise again and pick up and knit six stitches along right edge (Figure 3)—twenty stitches.
4. To shape toe, increase one stitch from each end of the needle of top and bot¬tom of square; round begins at center top of square (between third and fourth stitches of Needle 1). Rearrange stitches as needed.
Short-Row Toe
This cast-on is worked just like its cousin, the short-row heel. On a garter-stitch toe, skip the step of picking up wraps.
1. Provisionally cast on half the number of stitches needed for foot circumference.
2. Short-row on RS: Work to one stitch be¬fore end. Slip next stitch to right needle purlwise (Figure 1). Bring yarn to RS, slip stitch back to left needle, and bring yarn to WS (Figure 2). Turn work.
3. Short-row on WS: Work to one stitch before end. Bring yarn to RS (Figure 3). Slip stitch back to left needle and bring yarn to WS (Figure 4). Turn work.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, wrapping one stitch be¬fore wrapped stitch from last row, until about one-third of stitches are unwrapped with about one-third of stitches wrapped on each side (Figure 5). End after working short-row on WS.
5. Double-wrap row on RS: Work to first stitch wrapped on last RS row. With right needle, scoop RS portion of wrap(s) onto left needle and knit it together with its stitch (Figure 6). Slip next stitch to right needle purlwise, wrap and turn.
6. Double-wrap row on WS: Work to first stitch wrapped on last WS row. With right needle, scoop RS portion of wrap(s) onto left needle (Figure 7) and purl it to-gether with its stitch. Slip next stitch to right needle purlwise, wrap and turn.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6, picking up double-wrapped stitch from last row and double-wrapping next stitch, until one double-wrapped stitch remains at each end of row. End after double-wrapping last stitch of WS row.
8. Work to last stitch of RS row. Scoop wraps onto needle and work them with last stitch. Work across all provisionally cast-on stitches. On next round, first stitch will be double-wrapped from last WS row. With right needle, scoop up RS portion of wraps and slip wrapped stitch to right needle along with wraps. Knit wraps together with stitch through back loops, knit (Figure 8). Work foot in pattern.
Circular Toe-Up Socks
A rosebud closure worked in reverse, this cast-on is the perfect way to start a star or three-pointed toe.
1. Holding tail between ring and pinkie fingers, wrap working yarn counter-clockwise around thumb and grasp work¬ing yarn between forefinger and ring finger (Figure 1).
2. Dip needle down into loop around thumb, up and over working yarn, and back out of thumb loop, drawing up a stitch on needle (Figure 2).
3. Wrap working yarn around needle to make a yarnover (Figure 3).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have cast on one fewer stitch than you need, then repeat step 2 once more (Figure 4).
5. Distribute stitches over dpns and work in the round, increasing as directed in pat-tern. Pull tail tight to snug center ring and weave in tail.
Tip: This cast-on creates an odd number of stitches; for an even number, either cast on one fewer stitch and increase in the first round or cast on one stitch more and decrease in the first round.

The first public lactation pod in the MTA system was installed this week near the start of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month.
LIRR, Miami-Dade, and Houston Metro were top winners in safety category. DART, Sound Transit, and WMATA named tops in security.
Will include the installation of electronic tolling devices on the perimeter of the Central Business District.
Customers can see real-time positions of all trains on phone, tablet or computer and view train lengths and locations of trouble spots.
LIRR opened its upgraded Farmingdale station building and also finished a $27 million renovation project at Wantagh Station.
NYC Comptroller Stringer called on the MTA to improve job access, reduce commute times, extend the reach of the transit system, and relieve overcrowding.
LIRR Care will serve as a customer assistance program for those who need an extra helping hand to navigate the railroad system.
The project will add a 9.8-mile third track and add critical capacity on Long Island Rail Road's busiest corridor.
The railroad is working with NJ TRANSIT and Long Island Rail Road on an overall service plan that minimizes the impact to all New York Penn Station customers to the greatest extent possible.
A specialized Metro-North work train sprays water at high pressure, and specially equipped highway/rail trucks use rail scrubbers to remove crushed leaf residue from the tracks.

German Up Market Cars both Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD)
Where is the best place to buy a second hand up market German car from sports sedans to supercars? Where is the best place to shop if you want to buy a used Porsche 911, or BMW Alpina or M3, or a Mercedes Benz luxury sedan? In Germany? In Europe? No, I don't think so. The best place to buy a good used German up market car is in Japan.
Whether you are looking for left hand drive (LHD) or right hand drive (RHD) look in Japan and consider buying online direct from the Japanese car auctions. Here in Japan is where you will find good condition, low mileage and reasonably priced (these cars are never really "cheap" but here at least you can get them at a good price) used German sports cars, sports sedans, luxury sedans, even super cars. Before you go to the local used car dealers in Hamburg, Hannover, or Heidelberg, look in the Japanese car auctions and see what is available. Before you pay a pfennig to a private seller in Wiesbaden, Wuppertal, or Wolfsburg, contact a Japanese used car exporter (like us) to find out what it will cost you to import some nice German iron direct from Japan.
Buying a used Porsche 911 Carrera like this beauty here:
or its brother like this nice one shown here at a Japanese used car auction house:
or BMW 535i:
or Mercedes Benz S-Class:
in Japan may seem a bit "counter-intuitive" but when you look at the Japanese used car market, you will see that it may very well be the best way for you to go.
Why is that? Surely the best used Benzs Porsches, BMWs, and Audis are to be found in Germany, in the land of their birth, no?
Yes, that is where your 911s, your SLKs, and your Alpinas come from, but I don't think that that is where they get the best loving care from their owners. In Germany, in Europe, German cars are just cars; in Japan they are treasures, and their owners treat them as such. A 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera or a BMW M-3 or any German car, from mid-market to up-market, is likely to have been babied by its owner in Japan.
As a Japanese used car exporter, we help many customers in Europe (especially Poland and the U.K.), in North America (especially Canada), in Taiwan, and in other countries to import these treasured machines direct from Japan where we buy them at the Japanese used car auctions and from Japanese car dealers and from private sellers in Japan.
We find that there is a large selection of the top German dream machines here that:
1) have low kilometers. (Driving in Japan is very expensive and heavily taxed and a fellow with a nice Porsche 911 does not commute to work in it, that's for sure. That 911 is his weekend wundercar.
2) are in excellent exterior and interior condition due to Japan's mild climate and no salt on the roads in most places.
3) have received the regular required maintenance and are not run on a budget by boy racers.
4) have been garaged since new.
So, basically, the German up-market cars you get here don't deteriorate or age as much as they do in most other countries, and they are not likely to be abused or neglected; they are bought and owned and driven by people who can afford to, and do, maintain them, care for them, and enjoy them.
And now — it's November, 2014 as I write this — is an especially good time to buy and import a used mid-90s to early 2000s Porsche 911 or powerful Mercedes Benz or sporty BMW from Japan.
Let me tell you a couple of hard facts that are good for people outside Japan who want to buy a German car in Japan and ship it to their own country, to Poland, to Taiwan, to the U.K., to Canada and other destinations:
1) In recent years the Japanese economy has not been doing very well. The government has been raising taxes and many people are hurting, the economy is hurting, so up-market items like great used German cars, Porsche, Benz, Audi, BMW are not finding so many buyers here. This is causing prices to become more reasonable. More good deals on these cars are possible at the moment. Hard but true for us here in Japan, but it's a benefit for overseas fans of the best of the German motoring industry.
2) guys in Japan are a bit different from what they were when I came here 20 years ago. Back then, having a great car was it, and sports cars, super cars and luxury cars like a Porsche 911 or 928, or a BMW 5-Series, 6-Series, or Alpina, or one of the big engined Mercedes Benz sedans were objects of desire for guys in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who were in a financial position to fulfill such dreams in a high wage / low tax economy. But so many guys here now seem to have become, how shall I say?….pedestrianized. They are content with a convenient, conventional, economical minivan, or with no car at all. A fire-breathing Porsche Turbo Carrera, a V-12 Benz, or a 5-litre BMW does nothing for them (and, to be fair, they can't afford it anyway).
So the guy who bought his dream 911 or Alpina ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago and now wants to sell his German treasure onto someone else who will love it, enjoy it, and be thrilled by it struggles to find a buyer in Japan. Again, this makes selling prices reasonable. Hard, but true. But it's a benefit for you if are a man looking for a good used Porsche 911 Turbo.
When I started in this business of helping people who want to buy used Japanese cars online from Japanese car auctions, I thought that my customers would mostly be looking for bargains in the modest and mid-market car range, but I've been surprised by how many Porsches, BMWs, and Mercedes we export to Poland, the U.K., Canada, Taiwan and other places.
And it makes me happy to see these motoring treasures finding eager buyers overseas who will continue to cherish and enjoy them.

Awesome experience !! Their service was extremely good and efficient. Yoshiro was soo patient with my many requests for information and translations. The vehicle purchased was better than expected. I would definitely consider using their services again.
All I can say about the experience is AMAZING! I worked with Matthew and he was helpful through the whole process of bidding, purchasing, and shipping the car to me. He had an answer for every question, and was always quick to respond. Enjoying my new Mercedes and I will be using them again!
All around exceptional experience! Matt was great to work with and guided me through the entire process with ease. As a first timer, importing was a bit nerve racking but JCD did a great job providing a cool little truck I can enjoy here in Delaware. I look forward to picking up the next toy/vehicle through them.
The experienced, grizzled veterans of the import scene. They were very accommodating with all my questions and concerns. It was my first time importing, so everything was confusing and intimidating, but I'm happy to report everything went as planned! I'm definitely calling them back when I finally come up with an excuse to import another!
Mathew was great to work with and made what could be a scary daunting experience very easy. I am super happy with my car and am sure I will be importing with them again!
Working with Mathew and his team was an absolute pleasure. I went from never knowing you could import your own vehicle to owning my own Suzuki Cara within 6 months. Mathew was so helpful and completely transparent with me during the entire process. We spoke on the phone and via email and he helped me pick the perfect car exactly within my requirements. He dealt with my excitement and inexperience with patience and understanding. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will absolutely use Japan Car Direct again when it's time for another project. I highly recommend Mathew and Japan Car Direct.
Just purchased my second car through Japan Car Direct. Could not be more pleased with their customer service. Matt went above and beyond to help me find the right car. Translating countless auction sheets, messaging sellers, requesting vehicle inspections, putting up with me and my requests well after his time in the office, etc. I can happily and honestly say that I would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a car from Japan and that you will not be dissappinted. Very kind, helpful and professional. Can't wait for vehicle number 3.
Mathew and the team are amazing. Bought my first Porsche in Japan and they have helped me all the way through. They are competent and honest people, will definitely be doing more business with them. Thanks guys!
Mat is is the best he was right on target and video descriptions are perfect. Shipping was alot faster than I thought it would be, as JCD didn't mess around. My van was at port and ready to go. I will be using JCD again soon, got my van now I want a car.
I hunted the internet for a broker I could trust with my money. JDC won and I am so happy I went with them. Matt and Yoshi are great. Matt puts up with a very demanding customer in me, I can certainly take up time. Matt sends me cars from the list I sent him, when I don't have time to check the auction. It is scary how accurate Matt is when I ask him to predict a selling price. He is always very close which sometimes is not fun but he really does know pricing. They have walked we through buying two cars now and have held my hand on both. I really apricate all the time and knowledge. After purchase they have also held my hand through the whole import process which can be daunting for a first timer. I am a dealer and Matt is great at suggesting other cars to import as well. I am very satisfied with my choice
What can I say? The service was friendly and good, and I got my car, which ended up being in a better condition than expected. Sure, there were couple of unforeseen snags that no-one had anticipated, but overall, it was an extremely positive experience. Hommat meni hyvin, auto tuli Suomeen eikä noiden pyytämä hintakaan ollut mikään mahdottoman paha.
I bought a 1993 RX7 FD from these guys they are great! Communication was very good, and prompt! Iv has my car now for 6 months and have been loving it! I would recommend emailing them and looking into the options! They are upfront about price and will steer you into the right direction on what the car will take to own! I'm working with Yoshiro to buy another car now! I'm very pleased with the service I received. It can be scary sending lots of money to a person you don't know for a car you have never seen, but they will come through with everything they tell you they will do!
They've somehow made what was expected to be complicated, so simple. I got all the info I needed and imported my first JDM car without a single problem. Matthew was super fast to respond and always had an answer.
A must for exporting cars from Japan. I've exported various models with these guys now and they have been exactly how we wanted them with no underlying issues or surprises when they arrive. Very pleased and will continue to use these guys in the future!
This was my first time importing a vehicle for my personal use and naturally I was leary about who to go through. After looking through a few other places and after getting in touch with a longtime customer of theirs I decided to try these guys out. I can say without a doubt I'm glad I did. They are definitely professional and know their craft when it comes to getting you your dream car. Everything from getting cars inspected and bidding was completely transparent and went smoothly. I couldn't be happier with the car I bought and I hope down the line I'll be able to purchase another using these guys!! Thanks for all you guys do!!!

Another Sunday has finally arrived, a day many of us dread, as it marks the end of the weekend and beginning of another hectic and long week. Thanks to our Muslim brothers, Monday has been declared as a public holiday, so, most of us have another day to enjoy.
What did you do during the weekend? Did you go visit those friends you have been procrastinating about? Did you go see that movie you have been planning to for some time now? How did that date go which you made reservations for? Has the laundry that has been piling up been done?
Today and tomorrow is another day to do those things you couldn't do, make plans, write them down, and you will see yourself achieving those plans. Never give up. Its never too late to start afresh.
Have a blessed new week, and don't forget to tell your friends about Pammie's Crib.

Triturate is a Raven working for Alliance and serves as second in command to the Alliance Tactical Unit.
Not a particularly skilled pilot, his unwavering loyalty to Evangel is probably the reason for his rank in the Alliance Tactical Unit . When Evangel switches sides, Triturate is the only Raven to join him. He is encountered in the mission "Destroy AC Vigilance ".
AC Vigilance/Balius & XanthusEdit
Quad-leg AC model equipped with laser weapon arms. The units overall combat performance rates as average, but its weapon arms do pose a real threat.
The overall strategy can be summed up in a few words: stay away from those laser cannon arms. While they pale to previous incarnations, they are still extremely powerful and can eat you alive if you're not careful. If you treat them like the LX then you'll do fine. He has some AMS capabilities and some dodging but missiles still do a good job of finding their way home and he doesn't do that much dodging and can easily be outpaced.

Link of the Day
Queen Elizabeth I of England is one of the most beloved figures of English history. She was only the third queen to rule England in her own right, and the first to do so successfully. She was the first child of her father Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, creating a national stir because the Catholic Church did not allow divorce. Henry VIII eventually declared the Church of England a separate entity. The conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, the political discord created by Henry VIII's series of marriages, and the lack of a male heir to the throne meant that when Elizabeth finally wrested the country from her cousin and her half-sister, England was bloody and bankrupt, yet she lead her nation into "a glorious epoch" according to this link.
5/19 Sentence Completions
Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
On Sentence Completion questions, make sure to always read the sentence carefully and make a prediction before looking at the answer choices. Covering the answers is a great way to slow yourself down and make sure you don't look at the answers before you are ready. After you have made a prediction about the word that would complete the sentence, look at the answer choices for a synonym.
The ------ of Queen Elizabeth I impressed her contemporaries: she seemed to know what dignitaries and foreign leaders were thinking.
First, consider what quality might describe someone who seems to know what others are thinking. That person might be described as discerning or observant. The blank requires a noun, so discernment, shrewdness, or perceptiveness would work well. Fill in the blank with your prediction and then look at the answer choices.
The discernment, shrewdness, and perceptiveness of Queen Elizabeth I impressed her contemporaries: she seemed to know what dignitaries and foreign leaders were thinking.
A) symbiosis
B) malevolence
C) punctiliousness
D) consternation
E) perspicacity
Eliminate B immediately. Even if you don't know that malevolence means "hostile attitude or feeling," you can tell that it must be negative because it begins with "mal." Memorizing roots like "mal" will help you rule out words based on their connotation rather than their definition so that you can eliminate wrong words quickly.
You can also eliminate A and D, since neither "a relationship of mutual benefit" nor "amazement and horrors" is related to your prediction. Now that the choices have been narrowed down to only two options, it is reasonably safe to guess. A glance at the remaining choices reveals that choice E, perspicacity, looks similar to your prediction, perceptiveness. If you decided to guess E, you would get the answer correct.
Words tested in this SC
symbiosis: a relationship of mutual benefit
malevolence: hostile attitude or feeling; behavior exhibiting a hostile attitude
punctiliousness: the state of being strictly attentive to detail; meticulousness, fastidiousness
consternation: amazement or horror that confounds the faculties and incapacitates; terror combined with amazement
perspicacity: acute discernment or understanding; insight.

Anonymous sex role play chat rooms cam chating cyber sex sex web
I think they like it because it's probably harder to get than vaginal intercourse so it's something "new," or because it's a dominance thing, or as an earlier poster suggested, because of the taboo.
But I really don't know anything about straight guys so I could be talking out of my ass (sorry for that). Most straight men don't focus in on anal sex as much as gay men do, for rather obvious reasons.
With a bit of knowledge and foresight, parents can keep their kids safe and know what to look for. With easy to use software designed to give control and sanity back to parents, Netsanity enables a safer and healthier mobile experience for kids. Netsanity is available for both Apple and Android devices.
I gotta say, Chatango isnt for social rejects or any of that. Alot of attention whores(Mostly these so called `goth or scenes`)These so called `elite RPers` Saying that ***RP ONLY; DONT SAY HI OR HELLO OR U WILL BE BLOCKED*** And the worst of all: Original people.
Avoiding pregnancy can be an issue and certainly the taboo issue is a factor.
However, just to be clear, men whose favorite sex activity is fucking women in the ass are straight guys who liked to fuck women in the ass.
However, if you spend any time on Instagram or Tumblr reading through the role-plays you will quickly see that the storylines more often than not include inappropriate words, graphics or plots including violence and/or graphic sex.
Men in their 40s and over just don't dig as much as the young dudes in their early 30s and younger.
Kids and teens simply start their story from an image of their choice and write a scenario or storyline in the description using hashtags like #rp, #roleplay or #openrp.
For most involved, role-playing is a simple way to enjoy a common interest.
Often it starts as an innocent role-play and grows inappropriate through time using the child as a springboard to ask for additional contact with them or personal images.
Through my role as an internet safety advocate, I have heard parents discuss countless stories of kids and teens who have built a close, trusting online relationship with the stranger that they are role-playing with.

Our Counselors
Founder and Director of Journeys Counseling Center
Debbie Mauger, MA, LMHC #8763
I truly believe that life experience can be one of our very best teachers. I believe that insight and wisdom are born out of personal experience and the intentional, contemplative process of self discovery in the context of relationship. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I desire to create a holding space for the individuals, the couples and the families that I have the privilege to sit with. It is important to me to hold our time together and the space to be curious about the who, the what, the why, and the how of my client's experience, the impact of the experience and what conclusions and vows he/she may have made as a result. To be fully known by another, with unconditional positive regard is the beginning of the healing process.
I have been incredibly blessed over the past 16+ years with the opportunity to hear the stories and to experience the hearts of so many people as they engaged their journey of wholeness and healing. My professional training has been primarily focused on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy based out of Attachment Theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, most effective for those who suffer with intense emotional dysregulation. As a result of my personal experience with ruptures and repairs in 38+ years of marriage, raising 4 children, being the primary caregiver for family members through the dying processes of Alzheimers and cancer, I not only bring my professional training and experience, but everything that I have learned from life's teacher.
Education & Certification: Reformed Theological Seminary 2003 Masters in Counseling / Licensed Mental Health Counselor 2005 / Created Journeys Counseling Center 2005 / Clinical Supervisor 2005 to present .
Continuing Education: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT / Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, EFT / Completed 4 Day EFT Externship

Olivia Litwiller, MA, LMHC #12236
"The wound is the place the light enters you." — Rumi
As someone who has embarked on her own counseling experiences, both in times of peace and chaos, voluntarily and court-ordered, Olivia understands the internal battle when beginning therapy. Aware of the courage it takes to start the process, she strives to give you a safe place where the counseling journey can evolve at the pace that feels natural for you. She takes a relational approach to therapy, and believes that freedom and healing can come as light is shown on your story.

Whether it is restoring her 1920's home with her husband of 11 years, a road trip with good friends, or traveling overseas to fall in love with other cultures, everything is done with great zest for life. Olivia and her husband are also foster parents to two teenagers, which reflects her deep desire to take care of the people and resources that are here now. Come and journey with her!

Michele Bachman, MA, LMHC #13788
It takes courage to address the loneliness, heartache and confusion that we inevitably face as humans. My hope as a counselor is to offer a place where a person can untangle the hurt, confusion and address their messy emotions as we face together the story of their life. I believe our stories matter. All our life experiences shape us. No one escapes suffering. Life is hard. Everyone experiences shattered dreams. Experiences of rejection, betrayal, abuse and trauma contort the soul. Our soul responds to self, God and others with these contorted relational patterns that connect or sabotage relationships. These contortions of the soul are what I hope to address with each person in the counseling room offering compassion and respect as they journey towards restoration.
Years ago while I was working on staff at a local church it was brought to my attention how deeply my heart is drawn to hurting people. This led me to pursue my Masters Degree in Counseling. I am trained in a relational model of counseling that integrates various counseling theories. I enjoy working with a variety of clients from all stages of life. My work as a therapist includes counseling adult couples, self injury, body image, trauma, attachment, and relational discord issues.
I received a Bachelors of Science degree from the College of Human Sciences at Florida State University in 1980. I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. I interned at the Oviedo Counseling Clinic for one year and now work with Journeys Counseling Center in Maitland. In addition to being a counselor, I have been married for 38 years. My husband and I enjoy raising our son and daughter who are now adults. I love oil painting, paddle boarding, cooking with friends and find great delight from a variety of pets. I have lived in the Orlando area for over 20 years.

Ryan Cassada, MA, LMHC #13642
Ryan is a North Carolina native who found her way to the Sunshine State in 2011. Ryan believes as humans, we are designed to be relational and interdependent. At the root of most psychological struggle is broken connection with significant others. While relational woundings cause us to engage ourselves and others in unhealthy ways, there is also incredible power for healing and change through corrective connection, which is what Ryan strives to offer her clients in therapy. Through collaborative, kind and honest interactions, her hope is for clients to feel understood and empowered as they journey down the road of self-discovery, healing and growth.
Please contact Ryan directly at 407-951-8829 ext 705 email@example.com

As a private practice counselor, Mark works with adolescents, as well as couples and adults. Mark believes that we were created for relationship and for glory—not suffering.

Mark would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate through this life.

Ask Joe | Surface temperature differentiates state of freezing rain, sleet
Q: What is the difference between freezing rain and sleet? I always thought they were the same, but you talk as if there is a difference. Also, what is freezing fog?
A: This difference between sleet and freezing rain is one of the most common questions I get during the winter. Both occur when there is a layer of warm air that is above the surface with a layer of below-freezing air near or at the ground. Often during a freezing rain event, I will get emails saying, "Where's the freezing rain? All I see is rain."
Freezing rain is rain. There is only one difference, and that is the temperature at the surface near the ground is below freezing. The rain falls as water and then will freeze on untreated surfaces. This can cause a glaze on objects and can make roads slippery. The buildup of ice on tree branches can add enough weight to cause them to break and lead to power outages.
Sleet occurs when the layer of cold air is deeper and the rain freezes before reaching the ground. These frozen raindrops will accumulate like snow but usually at a slower rate. And because the balls of ice are more visible to drivers, they often perceive it as more of a danger and treat the situation with sufficient respect.
Lastly, because sleet doesn't stick to the tree branches, it often doesn't cause as many power problems as freezing rain.
Of the three, freezing fog poses a big risk to drivers. Basically, this is fog that occurs when temperatures are below freezing. The fog is made up of drops of super-cooled water. These droplets of water will freeze on contact with objects. This forms a great view of icy tree branches when the fog lifts, but it also can leave a layer of ice on the roads. And like freezing drizzle, drivers often do not perceive this as a risk until it's too late.
On occasion, freezing fog and freezing drizzle can leave an invisible layer of ice on the roads, which is called black ice. In true black ice, there is an invisible frost of ice on the road when the road actually looks dry. There's often no way for drivers to perceive the risk until it is too late.
Black ice has become slang for whenever ice is on the road, visible as what seems as a wet road or not.
Q: I notice on your Pennsylvania maps that there is a diagonal line through Centre, Clinton and Lycoming counties. What is this line?
A: It's not all of our maps, just the warning and advisory maps. The National Weather Service issues advisories often by county, but for these counties, they divide them by topography. The northwestern side of these lines is a higher plateau region and the south side of the line is more of a ridge and valley. Often it is just enough to cause a difference in the weather between the types of advisory.

EU Official Draws Criticism With Comments on Jews
BRUSSELS—European trade commissioner Karel De Gucht drew fire for comments about Jews he made in a radio interview as the Mideast peace talks began in Washington.
On Friday, he said in a statement, "I did not mean in any possible way to cause offense or stigmatize the Jewish Community." He added that he wanted to "make clear that anti-Semitism has no place in today's world."

People pick Myrtle Beach as best beach in the country
Myrtle Beach SC scored another honor, coming in as the top-ranked beach in America in a survey released by TipsSpoke.com.
The website randomly polled thousands of Americans with an open question to for people to fill in their "favorite" beach.
The website posted: As we dug into this, it was clear that Myrtle won big because of all of the great activities in and around the beach.
"Myrtle Beach continues to rise in these national measurements because of what nearly 18 million visitors already know – our beaches are clean, safe and inviting," said Brad Dean, president and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. "What truly sets the Myrtle Beach area apart from others is the fact that visitors consistently comment on two main themes: one, the vast array of attractions and events that enthrall both the young and the old, the couples and large groups; and two, the Southern hospitality visitors experience from our citizens and businesses."
Miami Beach was second while two other Florida beaches, Clearwater and Destin, tied for third.

Genki Sudo is one of my all time favorite fighters who retired with grace and the heart of a champ. Genki's style was completely unorthodox yet extremely powerful and versatile in the ring. Always entertaining, a very deep individual, and one who cares for the welfare of the world with sincerity, Sudo shows his versatility in life with a new band called "World Order" and this is one of their videos from it:
The choreography, film quality, and camera work is top notch! Here are some of the lyrics I found online, a beautiful song!
We have opened the veil of the world
and heard two voices
One is the soothing beautiful lie
and the other the distorted truth that fills the hollows
What is right and what is wrong
Truth is always the paradox
One era has gone by
and I awake in sleep
The rhythm of the universe the rhythm of your love
Dreaming cycle Beautiful Venus
The rhythm of the universe the rhythm of your love
Now in this moment I 'dance'
World Order
And for those of you who have no clue who Genki Sudo is in the MMA world here is a nice compilation:

Split Training
by Amanda Fitzpatrick, ACSM-CPT, ACE-GFI
There are hundreds of different options and ways to break up your workouts when it comes to training, all of which have unique benefits that are going to get you the results you're looking for but the first question you have to ask yourself is, "what is my goal?" Once you know what you are working for, you can choose the best training regimen that will work for you. If you're looking to really target your muscles and increase your muscular strength, split training might be the best training style for you and here's why!
Split Training allows you to break up your workouts throughout the week so that you can have less fatigue allowing you to lift heavier loads. Breaking up your workouts will also allow you to give greater attention to specific muscle groups and train with more frequency. You will be able to give it your all one day and go all out again the very next day because you will be focusing on a different set of muscles while giving the muscles you previously worked the day before a rest! There are multiple options when it comes to split training. Some variations include Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower Splits, and breaking up your workouts by specific muscle groups.
Below is a great example of a week workout plan broken up into specific muscle groups and factoring in your rest/active recovery days:
Monday: Chest and Triceps
Tuesday: Back and Biceps
Wednesday: Rest/Active Recovery
Thursday: Legs (Squat pattern variations)
Friday: Shoulders and Core
Saturday: Legs (Hinge pattern variations)
Sunday: Rest/Active Recovery

2018 Best Plastic Surgeon
Dr. DeConti and his staff at DeConti Plastic Surgery are very pleased to receive the prestigious 2018 Best Plastic Surgeon award from the American Institute of Plastic Surgeons for exceptional and outstanding patient service. This is the second year in a row we have received this award. We would like to thank our patients, family and friends for making this possible.


text: The turn of a new year always invokes the generation of New Year Resolutions. Many of us have already determined what ours are for 2018. Yet, only 8% of resolutions are fulfilled. That's right – 92% of the resolutions we have set will fail!Let's look at how we can set ourselves up for success:Secret #1 - SpecificWrite down your resolution. How clear and specific is it? Remember, resolutions are synonymous with goals. If your goal is not specific, you have not chance to achieve it because success is not well-defined. If you want to grow in an area of knowledge or skill for your career over this next year, you must be clear about what gap you are seeking to close and express how you will know that you have closed that gap with the actions you plan to take.Secret #2 - Realistic and AttainableI recall several years ago encountering an individual who had been recently hired into an entry-level position. This individual stated that she wanted to move into role where she would be leading people. While that is certainly a good career goal, it was not realistic in a 12-18 month time frame given this individual's past experiences. That same resolution can be achieved by the following series of smaller resolutions: 1) gain subject matter expertise in key company processes, 2) teach colleagues about 3 process changes and their impacts, 3) learn the mechanics and logistics of 2 reports, etc. By breaking down the resolution into smaller bites, you are more likely to reach success and gain momentum towards your larger resolution.Secret #3 – AccountableOne of my resolutions for 2018 involves a 7am meeting once a month on a Saturday. Saturdays tend to be the only day that I don't have to jump out of bed and get moving right away so I know this one will be a challenge for me. So, rather than doing this on my own (and falling into the 92% once I hit February), I have engaged an accountability partner to help me stay on course. Accountability partners can be mentors or coaches. There is a huge difference in following through on your actions to reach your goal when you have committed to a relationship with another person who will ask you if you completed what you said was important for you to complete.I encourage you to take 15 -30 minutes this week to examine your New Year's resolutions. Make the tweaks necessary now to set yourself up to be a part of the 8% of resolutions that are successfully meet this year.

The One Thing/
I'm speaking to you.
The lost and the hopeless.
The scared and the frightened.
The people who have pursued their dream of starting a business, because not pursuing it was crushing their soul a little bit more each day. You started with such a fire in your belly, only now you feel as though your business is consuming you.
You who wake at 4 in the morning because even in your dreams your fears are chasing you.
"What should I do?"
"Where can I get more clients, more money"
"I'm working so hard and don't know how I can do more."
"Should I go and get a 'real' job?"
You, who are working every hour you can to serve the people you want to serve but who just can't see the way forward.
You, who are so close to giving up.
I know you. I see you. You are not alone.
You are so scared of the "what ifs", especially the "what if I fail?" that you don't know how to take the next step forward.
And every day it gets a little bit harder to put on your game face, a little bit harder to smile.
What I want you to know… what I need you to know, is this…
Every single day, you are enough. You think you are lost, but you're not, you just can't see your destination yet.
You think you're alone, but you're not, there are others out there just as scared as you if only you could acknowledge that to each other.
You think that failing means the end when really it could just be the new beginning.
You were brave to start your own business. You are still brave because even in the face of adversity you continue to move forward, no matter how small those movements may seem.
You will get to exactly where you need to be, even if you don't know yet where that may be.
Hold on. You are enough.
If you need to know that you are not alone your business, then come and join my gang of curiosity seekers over at Notes for the Curious. Every two-weeks I curate and deliver a digest of everything I am learning and loving about running a business and living a life on purpose straight to your inbox.

The Role of Social Media in Social Movements: The Case of Black Lives MatterShow full item record
|The Role of Social Media in Social Movements: The Case of Black Lives Matter
|Hamilton, Jordan
|The motivation for this thesis is to explore the social movement of Black Lives Matter to discover and analyze the reasons for its formation, associated events that have taken place, and most of all the societal impact the movement has had on America and social media?s role in the process. Social media and social movements will be examined with specific regard to the Black Lives Matter movement with the theories of collective identity, examples of recent social movements, slacktivism and the role racial injustice in the 21st century. Through collective identity, this thesis will show that a shared sense of ?we-ness?, emotional investment and a dissociative group are extremely important to create a collective and lay the foundation for a social movement to form. Slacktivism will display that meaningful forms of activism like protest should be coupled with token (non-meaningful) forms of support to achieve the meaningful and lasting change desired. This thesis will also illustrate how racial injustice has been engrained into American society for scores of years leading up to the formation of the Black Lives Matter movement, whether that be in policies promoted and endorsed by political candidates or through school segregation. It will be demonstrated that racial injustice is real and has to be addressed in constructive ways. The Black Lives Matter movement will be examined from its beginning through the immediate events that led to its creation and indicate some of the impact that it has had in America to prove that Black Lives Matter is the culmination of a history that has consistently said that black lives do not matter.
