I haven't posted much this week. Been busy. Which is a shame because there has been so much going on to write about. Congress plans to bar all foreign nations from port operations, the Dubai company backs out of the ports deal, idiot radical islamists are still threatening or carrying out violence over some stupid cartoons and our city is still contemplating misusing eminent domain.
With all that happening I decide to take a week off blogging. Actually I didn't decide to take a week off. It's just that everytime I sat down to try and write anything I feel asleep. I've been really tired this week. Do you think maybe not getting to be before midnight any single night might have something to do with that?
It was a good week. I made some pretty good progress with my project at work. I bowled well on wednesday and my team has moved into first place in the league. I don't know the final results from city tournament yet. Hopefully they will have the results posted by next wednesday. On Friday my dear wife and I were treated to lunch at the kids school. The lunch was a thank you to the technology committee for all the work we have done in getting all the classrooms in the school and the parish offices networked and connected to the internet. They served salad, shrimp creole and dessert. The lunch the delicious. Then of course since we are the technology committee we had to spend at least an hour trouble shooting one of the computers that was acting up.
Then thursday night my DVR died. I turned it on to catch up on a couple shows I had recorded. It unit told me that it had detected a hardware error and that I needed to call Directv to get it fixed. So I called them. After finally getting through to a human, then another human I was finally told that I had to reset the system. This would wipe out all my programs, plus all settings. I didn't like this idea but didn't have a choice. So I reset the system. Directv said that this reset takes between 2 and 4 hours. It took four.
Once the system was reset I started through the set up routine. I got about 5 steps into the guided setup routine and the system suddenly restarted itself. It repeated this 5 more times at the same spot. So I called Directv back. Once I got through to a human, and then to another human I started to explain my problem. According to the tech support person I should not have been getting to the screen that kept crashing. He said that screen only happens on aftermarket DVRs and not on Directv specifc DVRs. I explained that my DVR is a Directv DVR, it says Directv right on the front of it and that I got it from Directv. The tech support told me that he couldn't verify that because their system was updating and it would be several hours before he could find out exactly which system I had. I told the guy on the phone what my model and serial number were and asked what I should do next. His reply was that without his system to verify what system I had he couldn't help me. Again I told him which system I had and that it had come from Directv so what should I do next. His reply again was "Since I can't verify which system you are using I'm not sure what I can do for you." My reply was "You could try the novel appoach of believing what your customers are telling you and not keep insisting that they are lying to you, Asshole!" Then I hung up.
Several hours later I called again. This time the first human I talked to told me that their system was updating and they wouldn't be able to assist me until after 6 AM on friday. So I thanked her and headed to bed.
On Friday morning I called again, eventually I spoke to a human and then another human. This tech support person listened to my problem and without even questioning which system I had, told me that it would have to be replaced. She murmered something about an apparent dustup with tech support that I couldn't understand completely but apparently there must have been some record of my phone call from the night before. The tech support told me that a new DVR would be shipped out and I should have it in 2-5 days.
My new DVR arrived today. I like this kind of service. The company promises 2-5 day delivery and delivers it the next day. I don't know if the trouble I had with their tech support on thursday night had anything to do with it and I don't care. I ws just glad to have my recorder back.
So today I rewired the entertainment center. Since I had to pull it out from the wall to get the old unit out I figured I should take care of some wiring troubles that I have been having. My old receiver is failing. It seems each year that another function stops working. I should replace it but just havn't bothered yet. Also I still had two VCRs in the system which I don't need anymore. I still want one so I can continue coping my old tapes to DVD but I no longer needed two.
So I rewired the system. I took the old DVD player that wouldn't play home recorded DVDs out. I took one of the VCRs out. I put the DVR and my DVD recorder back into the system and got everything rewired. Once done, I actually had room left in the entertainment center to set my laptop there. So I can get it off the endtable where I normally set it.
Well time to stop writing. Dinner is here and we're watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire during dinner.

Research & Strategy
It has been the exposure of weaknesses in the functioning and transparency of the financial markets during the financial crisis which has led the European Commission (EC) to review legislative proposals, increase capital market transparency and protect against market abuse. The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) was amended with the goal of strengthening the transparency framework for the regulation of markets in financial instruments, including where trading in such markets takes place over-the-counter (OTC).
The EC's justification is that increased transparency boosts investor protection, reinforces confidence, addresses previously unregulated areas and ensures that supervisors are granted adequate powers to fulfil their duties.
The impact of MiFID II
Once MiFID comes into force in January 2018, it will no doubt have a profound impact on capital markets in several ways, such as on pre and post-trade disclosure and transaction reporting.
Sell-side firms look to pitch and sell assets and opportunities, whilst buy-side firms hold capital and therefore buy assets and opportunities. Currently, sell-side firms sell bundles to clients which include multiple services – one of which is sell-side research. Sell-side analysts give buy/sell recommendations in their research, which is available in the public domain. Buy-side analysts use this research to take their own analysis further in reports which are not publicly available.
The benefit of unbundling such fees is greater transparency for clients, who can now benefit from a more tailored service. However, it is likely that many companies will now forgo paying for research, thinking it unnecessary. The knock-on effect of this change will be on contracts in the research industry, meaning that companies may find that they are no longer receiving the breadth or quality of sell-side coverage they are accustomed to.
The opportunity?
This is where opportunity arises. Companies which have traditionally relied upon sell-side channels to keep investors informed (particularly small and mid-cap stocks) must get more savvy with best practice engagement through communication channels such as the corporate website and annual report publications.
More than ever, companies must ensure that their equity story and latest business developments are communicated effectively and consistently through the website in order to avoid diminishing relationships with investors. Furthermore, it is imperative that the annual report becomes concise and decluttered, focusing on material issues and clearly explaining the strategy of the business, whilst being open with how this will be achieved, and the targets, risk management and measurements used to track progress.
If you would like us to help you with your communication strategy in a post-MiFID II environment, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Also dragons.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 16th, Dec. 2013 Under News
Square Enix's Drakengard 3 isn't your typical action RPG, especially when compared to the likes of Panzer Dragoon. A new "advertisement movie" released by the publisher reaffirms that, but that doesn't mean it isn't full of tons of kick-ass action along with ample amounts of dragoons, dragons and sword-wielding. Check it out above.
The game features both hack and slash gameplay from the third person along with aerial sequences in which you'll be riding your dragon and bashing foes. It centers around Zero, an exiled Intoner who is now looking to wage war on her sisters in a prequel to the first game. She'll have her trust dragon Mikhail around as back-up, which can be identified as the white dragon above.
Drakengard 3 will be releasing on December 19th for the PlayStation 3 in Japan. It is expected to release in Europe and North America sometime in 2014. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

patch for missing black in named colorspaces
This bug has been fixed in CVS upstream and will appear in the 2.13.20070713

Thanks, John.
The attached patch didn't quite apply cleanly (2.12 contains colxlate.c,v 1.11

What's between your legs?
Any idea what your tampons, pads and panty liners are made of? We believe you have the right to know what you are putting between your legs. Unlike most brands, we've chosen to list our ingredients on our packaging. But what are the options? Laura noticed she wasn't the only one feeling slightly confused and overwhelmed by the choice at her supermarket so she's tried to sum up the main options.
Most tampons, pads and panty liners can be divided into three categories: synthetic, cotton and organic cotton products.
Plastic fantastic?
Most tampons, pads and panty liners are made of synthetic materials. Slogans like 'Cotton-feel' and 'silk like touch' can be confusing because this does not necessarily mean that these products contain any cotton or silk. Most synthetic products include rayon, perfume and many also include plastic. Plastic is not only used as a backing of your pads and panty liners but often also as an overlay on top of your tampons, pads and panty liners.
Women can be sensitive to synthetic materials. So if you feel an itch during your period, you might want to try switching to a different type of product.
How green is cotton?
In addition, there are also products made of 100% cotton, a natural material. Cotton brands praise cotton for being soft, hypo-allergenic as well as breathable. But did you know cotton is the most heavily pesticide sprayed crop?
Negatively impacting not only the environment but also the farmers and animals. It also means that whatever gets sprayed onto those cotton plants can end up in the cotton itself, which can then be used to make the tampons, pads and liners that end up in your pants.
Last but not least
The last material is organic cotton. Organic cotton like regular cotton is soft, hypo-allergenic and breathable. But it is also more environmentally friendly due to the way it's grown.
That is why we at Yoni have chosen for organic cotton. Better for you, the planet and for others.
Our organic cotton is certified by the SOIL Association according to the Global Organic Textile Standards. This means that the raw cotton fibers meet organic farming standards. It also means that the cotton is processed in an eco-friendly way through a sustainable supply chain that ensures safe working conditions and fair pay.
The fact that Yoni uses organic cotton is also the reason that it is a bit more expensive than other brands. But hey, we choose organic cotton because it's as good for the birds and bees as it is for the body.
One conscious choice can revolutionize an industry
There are a lot of options out there. And it's not always easy to know the differences. We believe every woman should know what she uses between her legs. Unlike other brands, we therefore list our ingredients on the box. No plastic, no perfume no secrets. Check it out!

Welcome back, Parents and Students! School is back in session! In order to kick things off, on Saturday, August 18th Holy Angels Catholic School held a back to school bash... Lured by the smell of BBQ and echoes of laughter, parents, students, and members of the community found themselves on the Holy Angels lot to celebrate. Attendees were able to enjoy free food, not one but two bounce houses, and the opportunity to dunk Principal Stallings or Mrs. Watson in what looked to be six feet of cold water. Both participants held on tight to their seats, grinning as students lined up to take aim. Not far from the pool was a DJ who kept the party going with summer's best songs, causing a small dance off to form around his table and anywhere else groups of students were gathered. Other activities included a video game truck and outdoor favorites such as baseball, hula-hoops and jump rope.
Back in the parking lot where the food was being served, a few 7th graders found themselves in a circle recalling the summer's adventures, before running to the basketball court. Despite the fun they've had over break, many students are ready to head back to the place that houses their friends and challenges their minds. It means coming back into an environment filled with faculty and staff who support and encourage them daily. Eighth grader Raisuli says, "The teachers really care about you…they're gonna push you…they're not just gonna let you fail." In speaking with other 8th graders the move to High School is their fuel for this school year as they proceed in gaining the tools needed for success.
For Holy Angels' parents, the end of summer break is bittersweet, but they too are ready to get back into their yearly routine. One thing that helps ease them into this transition is feeling secure in the fact that their children are in a safe and effective learning environment. Simone Baker, the parent of 8th grader Jacob, is excited for the coming year knowing that her son will have the tools to excel in High School. When reflecting on why she chose Holy Angels years ago, Mrs. Baker found that it was the experiences of Alumni parents that inspired her.
Parents are also excited to be reunited with one another, as they too gathered around to chat about the summer and the coming school year. Parents Shari Proell and Sharon Anderson, both of whom have second graders, talked about the tremendous amount of support that they receive from faculty and staff. Time in the Holy Angels environment has benefitted them too as they have gained support from one another as parents. Through school meetings and activities or just picking their kids up from school, these parents become connected and build long-lasting bonds. Ultimately, getting back to the Holy Angels community is something that both students and parents are excited for. This idea of community was a sentiment shared by numerous parents, of those parents it was Mrs. Anderson who described it best, "…Holy Angels is not just a school, it's a community. It's a village…all of our kids have a village here." Here's to a new year school year and of course Welcome Back!!!

New chair for Ignite Wanaka Chamber of Commerce
The Ignite Wanaka Chamber of Commerce has new leadership, with the election of Bridget Legnavsky as chair and Mike Toepfer as deputy at the board meeting yesterday.
Legnavsky is the General Manager of Cardrona Alpine Resort and has been on the Ignite board since 2013, including serving a year as deputy chair in 2017. Toepfer, a partner at Aspiring Law, has been on the Chamber board since 2011.
The leadership change follows the resignation of former chair Alistair King, who served on the board for 10 years, including five as chair.
Legnavsky, who also started, managed and sold local retail businesses 47Frocks and 47Lounge, says she's honoured and excited to be Wanaka's first-ever female chair of the local Chamber.
"I feel very privileged – especially to represent our town that is so diverse, innovative and growing like a mushroom," she says. "Being amongst the business community is a really cool place to be. It's a really supportive environment and that makes me want to step up and do this job.
"Our recent work on the rebrand of the Chamber, as well as innovative projects like the CUBE, demonstrate examples of where we want to be as a Chamber. I hope to see more of Wanaka on a national and also a world stage as being a town that's doing some great things."
King's resignation left one vacant position on the board, which was filled at the Chamber AGM last Wednesday. Wanaka's Kathy Dedo was elected to the board, with Toepfer and Kelly Good being re-elected. Their positions were up for rotation after two years' service – a requirement within the Chamber constitution.
The current board members are: Bridget Legnavsky (chair), Mike Toepfer (deputy chair), Cyril Coombe, Celia Crosbie, Kathy Dedo, Pete Eastwood, Kelly Good, Ian Piercy, Calum MacLeod (ex-officio).

This past Thursday, a suicide attacker targeted a Sufi shrine in the southern town of Sehwan, Pakistan. The targeted shrine is close to the tomb of Lal Shahbaz Qalander, one of Pakistan's most venerated saints and a Sufi philosopher poet. At the time of the attack, the shrine was full, as Thursdays are especially important for local Sufis. The perpetrator of the attack has been revealed as ISIS, who claimed the attack as one of their own. ISIS and other extremist militant groups in Pakistan, like the Taliban, hate religious minorities, such as the Sufis because they see them as heretics. Many attacks perpetrated by these extremist groups target religious minorities.
At least 88 people, who had gathered to worship at the shrine, were killed in the blast, and hundreds more were wounded. The head of Sehwan's hospital, Moeen Uddin Siddiqui, commented that the attacker seemed to have aimed for the women's wing of the shrine. As a result, at least 20 children can be counted among the dead. A police officer also noted that the death toll was likely to rise in the coming days.
Witnesses say that blood still covered the floor of the shrine on Friday morning, as Sufi worshippers attempted to push past police and worship there. The provincial government declared three days of mourning after the attack, and have closed all shrines in the province. Pakistanis have taken to social media to protest the lack of medical facilities and supplies to treat the wounded, as the closest medical facility to the shrine was 70 km away.
Furthermore, worshippers across the province were furious at the government's decision to close all shrines and prevent worshipping. One civilian commented that "Keeping [the shrine] closed is unfair to the people of Sehwan. We can take care of our own place. We can do everything to protect it." Unfortunately, the police in Sehwan swung batons and sprayed tear gas on several hundred protestors who were demanding justice for the victims and better security. The police finally broke up the rally after protesters set fire to a car. Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif has condemned the attack and recognized it as an attack against the Sufi minority. He has vowed to fight extremist militants, such as ISIS and the Taliban.
Due to the high death toll, Thursday's attack has gone down as one of the worst attacks in Pakistan in recent history. The entire week was one of the bloodiest in Pakistan as of late, as around 100 people were killed in numerous attacks since Monday. Most of these attacks were done by the Taliban. There were three suicide attacks on Monday and Wednesday at a rally in Lahore and at government offices in Mohmand and Peshawar. Additionally, two police officers were killed on Tuesday while defusing a bomb in Quetta.

At a children's book conference I attended recently, quite a well known fantasy author made a few comments about the Twilight Saga's Bella. She said that Stephanie Meyer had come under attack for writing such an insipid female lead who wasn't a good role model. She wanted to know why authors had this responsibility thrust upon them of writing 'good role models' when they should be allowed to write whatever they liked. Even if what they like to write is girls with no personality & no plans for the future beyond their man. While this is, in theory, true: authors can write whatever characters they like. In turn readers can choose to read about whatever they like and since my youth my favourite books have always been those with fabulous heroines in them. Heroines who saved the world from evil wizards; heroines who outwitted dragons. Heroines who read lots of books and heroines who stood up for what they believed in. From the age of twelve to around the age of fourteen (fifteen?) I wanted to be a knight. Despite being a bookish, indoorsy girl with animal allergies and being about as far from athletic as you can get; I thought it would be amazing to be a knight. The books of Tamora Pierce obviously had quite a profound effect on me. I now work as a children's bookseller and I get so excited when I sell the very first Tamora Pierce book to a young girl. Invariably the girls come back for the following books in the series and I know they have books and books of heroine action ahead of them.
Luckily for me (and everyone else in the world) it is obviosuly not just YA fiction which has some great heroines - I'll be talking picture books and primary aged fiction as well as YA books. Here's hoping that I point some of you in the direction of some awesome ladies who couldn't help being great role models if they tried.

Why Heroines?
1 comment:
I think this is a really important and interesting discussion. I have two daughters and I am always looking for books with fabulous heroines. It's amazing how much insipid junk there is out there. I don't think writers are responsible for creating 'role models' - their job is to create great characters. Some great characters are weak people, depressed people, suicidal people, horrible people, killers even... they are not 'role models', but they are great characters. And that is what I want from a book - for myself and my children.ReplyDelete

It doesn't matter if you are making a gift basket for one person or twenty you have to decide from the beginning what is the maximum amount of money you are planning to spend (and if you end up doing it for less that's great!).

You can buy satin type ribbon from outlet stores for about 59 cents a yard for 1 1/2 inch wide ribbon. Two yards of this would be more than enough to make inexpensive gift baskets in the largest sizes.
Many companies also feature baskets that are kosher or vegan, though we found that searching for vegan baskets on many websites only pulls up lists of fruit and nut samplers. There are also many companies that offer wine gift baskets or that offer wine as an add-on to baskets.

Living Proof Headquarters Tour
Having a photographic timeline is one of the most special and embarrassing aspects of having a blog for over half my life. My style, makeup, hair, and ever changing emotions and reflected outward appearance…it's all there, in an internet time capsule. Except instead of being opened many years down the line, it's opened over and over and over. So, when Living Proof brought me on board as one of their brand ambassadors, and asked what my hair woes were, I basically handed them a spreadsheet with notations (this is not true; I don't do spreadsheets). Many of you have seen me through blue hair, red hair, black hair, a short bob with blunt bangs, long and straight hair, long and mermaid hair, short and black hair, bluish green hair, and then back to its current state. And what has my gripe been, all along? I just want big hair. All of my tutorials have been centered around getting more volume and more texture, because not-so-secretly, I've always wanted that teased-to-the-high-heavens pageant hair. The higher the hair, the closer to being Dolly Parton, am I right? Isn't that the saying?
With my quest for more volume in mind, they sent me their Full products, whose patented PBAE volumizing molecule deposits thickening dots, creating fuller and thicker hair…because, science. We flew to Cambridge, to meet with the Living Proof team and tour their headquarters and laboratory, then have our hair assessed and styled by celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan (the man who gave Jennifer Aniston the Rachel cut, and still does her hair)! In their laboratory, we observed their staff of scientists, while they did super official, science-y experiments and then explained them to us in layman's terms. For instance, the PBAE volumizing molecule was likened to candy buttons (candy: that's my language) that adhere to your hair, not only making each strand thicker, but physically making more space between them. You can't feel the PBAE – it still feels smooth – but you can see them under a microscope, and the before and after of the same hair shows a substantial difference. Sign me up for all of the things. I was previously using their Perfect Hair Day shampoo and conditioner, and in the short time since I switched, I can honestly say that their Full line is much better suited to my fine, limp hair. When combined with the styling tricks I learned from Chris McMillan, who taught me what products to use and how to properly tease my hair for maximum effect — which I plan on demonstrating for you all, of course — I am one step closer to my giant hair dreams. Next week, I'll be back in Los Angeles with the Living Proof team and a certain actress with iconic hair, and can't wait to share more! In the meantime, check out my behind the scenes video from our day at the Living Proof headquarters:

Sheffield United have won a High Court battle with West Ham in the Carlos Tevez saga.
Mr Justice Teare granted a temporary order stopping West Ham appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over a ruling that it had breached Premier League rules in hiring the Argentine.
This will allow Sheffield to go ahead with its arbitration claim for damages over its relegation from the Premier League last season.
The Yorkshire club are expected to claim up to £30 million from the Hammers, but this will be assessed at a future arbitration hearing in private.
The court battle over whether the arbitration tribunal's findings can be appealed to CAS is expected to return to the High Court for a full trial next year when Sheffield United will seek a permanent injunction.
An independent tribunal had ruled Tevez was not eligible to play for West Ham at the end of the 2006/07 season.
The Argentine, who now plays for Manchester United, was deemed to have played a key part in the London club's Premier League survival as the Blades were relegated.
Sheffield United went to the High Court to stop West Ham from appealing the arbitration tribunal's findings that hiring Tevez was in breach of Premier League rules and Sheffield were entitled to recover damages.
When West Ham filed an appeal from the arbitration decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland, Sheffield United claimed this was a breach of the arbitration agreement between the clubs and that CAS had no jurisdiction to hear such an appeal.
The judge granted Sheffield United's application for a temporary order restraining West Ham from taking any further steps to pursue an appeal or challenge the tribunal's findings other than by way of an application to the High Court.

King's Expands Its International Reach
This summer, King's students have the opportunities to travel to Turkey, East Africa, China or Israel with the school and apply what they are learning in the classroom to international arenas. International Ventures held two seminars this past week where students were able to hear from the Global Engagement Coordinator and 2011 grad Elijah McCready and other students who have been part of the trips in previous years.
Each trip focuses on helping students integrate with top universities and institutions at the selected locations. Members of faculty and alumni accompany students as they are able to work with people of influence.
McCready says that International Ventures "is very different from study abroad because of its focus on engagement."
McCready emphasizes that the program is focused on culturally relevant issues and current hot button topics in each nation. Students are able to connect with the people who are involved with making important decisions and look at the world from other informed perspectives.
While each trip is open to all majors, they each have a specific focus.
The trip to Turkey is an explicitly business-focused trip. Professor Brenburg and King's alumnus, Anthony Randazzo, will be going on the trip.
The trip to East Africa integrates all three majors. Alumnus Ted Pantone will be traveling with students and possibly Resident Life Director, Katrina Blank. Students will be able to focus on issues such as poverty, sexuality and development in the nation.
Students who go on the trip to China will have the unique opportunity to help craft a worldview curriculum for one of the universities. Director of speech and debate, Katie Teubl, will be working with the students as they develop the curriculum and on the trip itself.
The trip to Israel will be working with an NGO and looking at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and meeting with members of government and the military to gather insight. Professor Rabinowitz and McCready will be heading up the Israel trip.
The applications for the trips will be released on the King's website this week and students have until November 19th to complete them. The trips are limited to 15 students and, once put on a team, students will spend the spring semester studying the culture and conflicts in their country.
Elijah says that the King's program allows students to have classroom time with their teams to prepare for culture-shock, study the history of the country in which they will be working and listen to guest speakers.
There are also two pilot trips still in the works to India and Central Asia, which will both require similar preparation to that of the four others.
The students at the seminars expressed great interest in all of the trips. Many signed up on the interest pages, and judging by the amount of students who attended, one can expect that there will be no shortage of students wanting to participate.
Students can stay up to date on the trips by checking out the International Ventures Facebook page.

Ex Cathedra's musical homage to Shakespeare's odes is twee - review
Shakespeare celebrations often bring on fits of excruciating Bard-olatry. Normally sensible people are seized by a desire to don ruffs and breeches and declaim execrable doggerel in praise of his genius.
Shakespeare's 400th had been mercifully free of all that stuff until the Birmingham-based choir Ex Cathedra decided to mount its own special tribute to him. Its director, Geoffrey Skidmore, has unearthed an Ode to Shakespeare, written by the great 18th-century actor David Garrick for the Shakespeare Jubilee in 1769. He wrote a number of effusions in praise of the bard, to be floridly declaimed by himself, mingled with verses set to music by England's most distinguished composer Thomas Arne, who composed 'Rule Britannia'.
Last night in Hereford Cathedral Ex Cathedra performed the Ode, with the aid of a clutch of soloists and instrumentalists. Sam West, the only actor the musical world has heard of, was on hand to take the role of Garrick, complete with wig and knee-breeches. 'O from his muse of fire Could but one spark be caught,' he declaimed at one point, but alas no spark of fire could be discerned in Arne's score. It was a reminder of just how conservative England was in 1769, when composers were still churning out watered-down versions of Handel while Europe was moving into the classical era of Mozart. The pretty but pallid singing of the soloists (Martha McLorinan was the refreshingly forthright exception) only emphasised the forgettable nature of the music.
After the interval came a brand-new Shakespeare Masque, with a text by Carol Ann Duffy laid out in a series of songs and dances, composed by Sally Beamish. Duffy's poems tried to evoke the way Shakespeare has entered the language and become part of our collective consciousness. That was a promising idea; the problem was that Beamish's score shoved Duffy's poems firmly back into a picturesque past. Her score, for children's chorus, soloists, choir, and a bunch of Shakespearian-era instrumentalists was performed by Ex Cathedra and a local children's chorus with forthright energy and charm. Beamish strove hard to make her evocations of Jacobean music oblique, rather than literal. But this couldn't get round the fact that a recorder player in a ruff piping vaguely 'olde-worlde' sounds can't be anything other than excruciatingly twee. Bard-olatry alas is not dead yet.
Shakespeare Odes was performed at Hereford Cathedral on May 6 and is on tour until 28 May www.excathedra.co.uk

Review: Season of the Witch (2011)
The consistent inconsistency of Nicolas Cage strikes again in this inept historical fantasy film. As an actor, Nic Cage divides audiences and critics alike. He's a wild card, an actor who pours everything he has into a role no matter how ludicrous it may be. In movies like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and Kick-Ass, his intense dedication and scenery chewing works excellently. In movies like Knowing and Bangkok Dangerous, it does not. Season of the Witch is a film of the latter kind. Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman star as Behman and Felson, two knights disillusioned with the Crusades who are tasked with transporting a witch to a remote monastery. The witch has supposedly cursed the lands with the plague and the monks at the monastery have the ability to remove the curse. It's a simple plot where A connects to B with no embellishments, and yet the filmmakers find even such simplicity difficult to execute. It is rare for Hollywood to produce historical fantasies of this level of incompetency. Season of the Witch is riddled with plot holes, preposterous dialogue, hollow characters, idiotic motivations, bad special effects, shallow morality, and a laughable knowledge of historical fact. The main historical events that the film depicts – the Crusades, the plague, and trials of witchcraft – have no basis in reality. The film is set in the 14th century, a hundred years after the Crusades ended and three hundred years before witchcraft gripped the public consciousness. As well, the depiction of the plague is more similar to the Orcs in The Lord of the Rings than actual plague victims. Throughout the film, I was reminded of Colin Firth's 2007 adventure dud, The Last Legion, but even that film had a sense of fun that Season of the Witch is without.
Perhaps the film's biggest flaw besides its incompetent story and bad acting is its lack of suspense. We know the girl is a witch from the first scene of the film – a fact that is obviously demonstrated throughout – yet the filmmakers play it like there's a mysterious ambiguity to it all. This attempt to thrill us with mystery when the facts are right before our eyes is the shameless manipulation of an artistic hack and just plain bad filmmaking. One thing that can be learnt from this whole debacle is that Nicolas Cage needs a new agent, because to star in a film like Season of the Witch betrays an inability to recognize quality from crap or at least a desire for a paycheck that supersedes artistic integrity.

Season of the Witch (2011)
Directed by Dominic Sena; written by Bragi Schut; starring Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, and Claire Foy.

Out of town Consultations
Interested in a naturopathic consult with Dr. Sullivan but live outside of the Memphis area or outside of the US? Dr. Sullivan offers phone or video consultations via phone or secure web connection.
What to expect
Once you have scheduled your appointment, Dr. Sullivan will contact you to specify if you would like to consult by phone or by video. If you choose to consult by video, you will receive an email link to Dr. Sullivan's virtual waiting room. Health intake and consent forms will need to be completed prior to your appointment. This can be done electronically through our secure medical record system, and instructions for completion will be sent through email. For those who are unable to fill out electronic forms or prefer not to fill out electronic forms, paper forms can be emailed or sent through conventional mail if needed.
At the time of your scheduled appointment, simply check into the virtual waiting room using the link you were given. Dr. Sullivan will then connect with you to begin your video consultation. If you choose to consult by phone, you will receive a phone call from Dr. Sullivan at the time of your appointment.
Dr. Sullivan does a lengthy intake of your medical history. The majority of the time will be spent going over this, as well as any lab or imaging reports you wish to share. Dr. Sullivan will then offer her insight as to what may be going on and in some cases recommend further testing. At the end of the visit, Dr. Sullivan will go over her treatment recommendations. This usually involves specific dietary guidance, herbs, and nutritional supplements.
The frequency of follow up visits depends on the needs of each person. At least one follow up is recommended in most cases. However for chronic health issues, a follow up visit once every 2-3 months may be needed.
If you would like to learn more about her approach or would simply like to meet Dr. Sullivan first before deciding to work with her, she offers a 15 minute introductory consultation. All appointments can be scheduled online.
New patient consultation-75 min-$195
Follow up consultation-45 min-$145
Follow up consultation-30 min-$95
Follow up consultation-15 min-$50
Appointments must be paid in full prior to your scheduled appointment. Once you have scheduled your appointment, you will receive an invoice for payment by email. Alternatively, payment can also be made over the phone or by mail.
Insurance does not typically cover telemedicine visits. Due to licensing laws in Tennessee, we are unable to provide you with a coded invoice called a superbill to submit to your insurance company.

Morgan McIntosh is going to finish what he started/
197 is going to be interesting this year. Last years champ has already graduated. The other finalist (and recent World Champion) is taking an Olympic Redshirt year, the year before's National Champ is reportedly bumping up to Heavyweight (not that it would affect my call anyway), which leaves us void of talent at 197... NOT! This weight class is never easy, and these talents making moves only leaves other extraordinarily talented wrestlers to challenge one another for the NCAA Championship.
Morgan McIntosh is one of the giant talents still waiting to win an NCAA Championship, and this year is the year it happens. Here is a list of things he has going for him.
- Cael Sanderson is his coach, not only has this been beneficial in the past for many, but they are similar in size, and I trust they are training partners from time to time. There is no way that this isn't preparing him to go on a tear this year.
- This is his Senior year. There is something to be said for a heightened sense of urgency, and I trust that he will approach each match with that in mind.
- The only person returning at 197 who McIntosh didn't beat last year (he lost to both Cox and Snyder early in the season, but avenged both losses later in the season) is Connor Hartman of Duke, who I don't believe is much to worry about truthfully.
Keep in mind, Kyle Snyder just won a World Championship, but he isn't a Big Ten or NCAA Champion. Those belong to Morgan and Kyven Gadson respectively.
McIntosh was the highest ranked recruit in the country coming out of High School a couple years back, and it's about time that he gets his NCAA Title. Honestly, looking back at the last couple of years of NCAA Championships, it's not his fault that he didn't win it yet. We are in a great age for extremely talented 197 pounders. Last years brackets had the National Champ, a World Champ, the defending National Champ, and no shortage of other monsters fighting for supremacy. Additionally, McIntosh through the year with only 1 Big Ten loss, being to Snyder earlier in the season. The Big Ten had 5 of the 8 All Americans last year, so I'd say he's consistent.
Basically, like Jay Borschel, Coleman Scott, Frank Molinaro, Kyven Gadson, and many other greats with one NCAA Title; I expect Morgan McIntosh to win it this year. It's your time Big Mac, do work.

Thursday 22/08/2019
Dallas, Texas (forpressrelease) February 6, 2018 - Consumers in the Dallas area will be glad to know that the Bath Trends line is soon coming their way, featuring vanities, bathroom cabinets, and much more. Bath Trends plans to add to its collection of showrooms across the southern United States, this time bringing its extensive line of bathroom vanities to the state of Texas. The Dallas showroom will once again exemplify the amazing services and top of the line equipment that Bath Trends has been providing to the industry for years.
As a top tier bathroom supply and fixture company we take aim at one of the biggest problems in the industry, especially when it comes to renovation: expense. The cost to completely renovate a bathroom can be extremely high as you probably know and for many the idea of a full luxury, modern bathroom is far out of reach. Our ability to offset the price has been our claim to fame and a factor that has made us appealing to many customers over the years. We offer some of the best bathroom products in the industry at a far lower price than our competitors, all high quality, and all made to last. Browse our massive and modern selection of bathroom vanities and choose one that brings your space to life.
The Best Bathroom Vanities in Dallas
We know that cheap bathroom vanities, whether they are double sink vanities or single sink vanities will always be a critical part of your setup and we're prepared to cater to you.
Single Sink Vanities - For smaller bathrooms or those that only have a single occupant and can use more space for other fixtures.
Double Sink Vanities - Larger bathrooms that are going to see more than one user or occupant are definitely going to need something a bit more accommodating. Our line of double sink vanities are able to support two sinks and additional storage to ensure maximum use and maximum enjoyability.
Wallmount Bathroom Vanities - The last example we want to mention regarding the line of Bath Trends vanities is the wallmount vanity which is one of the most favored among our cheap bathroom vanities. Why? Because it gives you more space. Wallmount vanities do not extend to the floor and are more of a minimalist design element. They provide all of the benefits of any other vanity while giving you space below and a cleaner aesthetic.
Storage Options you Can't Live Without
Our amazing and highly modern bathroom vanities, all on display in our new Dallas showroom offer you outstanding storage that goes hand in hand with your linen cabinets and other bathroom storage amenities. Confidently store all of your toiletries and items you need close at hand using the cabinets or drawers in our vanities.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED DAcqua Restaurant Review: There's no doubt where to go with the menu at this Penn Quarter power dining spot---it's seafood. Fueled by the district's well-known Italian restaurant veterans Francesco Ricchi, a gracious host on the floor, and chef Enzo Febbraro, the food scene at the upscale eatery is inspired by selections from the water. And that's where you should stay---selecting simply prepared fresh seafood from the iced market display at the front of the dining room. Today's catch beckons the diner to "choose me." The décor is gentle with its soft blue tablecloths and sand-shaded accents. The wine list is generous with complementary pairings; the service is knowledgeable and attentive. Red snapper, branzino, turbot and dorado are among the likely choices to grace the ice. They are best simply grilled, oven baked or crusted in a salt shell to be skillfully removed at the table---along with the unwanted bones. Bowls of traditional pastas like the linguine alle vongole deliver plenty of tender baby clams. D'Acqua's not broaching new culinary terrain; rather it's embracing the fresh harvest of the sea. With Ricchi and Febbraro at the helm, the course is steady and satisfying.

Swan Lake with the Russian National Ballet from Moscow, 2019
The most popular of all classic ballets
The most popular of all classic ballets, Swan Lake contains all of the elements for which classical ballet is renowned and continues to bewitch all who see it.
A fairy tale played out against lavish scenography and stunning chorography, and the immortal music of Tchaikovsky. One can rightly say that, with this work, Tchaikovsky has reflected the soul of the Russian people for over one hundred years. Of the music from the ballet, perhaps the most famous and loved by a wider audience is "Dance of the Little Swans".
The Russian national ballet, from Moscow, is one of the world's foremost ballet companies. Their success is not a happy accident, but rather is built on their wealth of exceptional dancers, some of whom come from the legendary Bolshoi Ballet. The Russian National Ballet has its own school with over 70 dancers and several experienced, internationally-renowned teachers. With its broad repertoire, The Russian National Ballet has enjoyed global success, including in the United Kingdom, United States, South Africa, China, Italy and Germany.
The story tells of the cursed Swan Princess, who can only be freed from an evil sorcerer's spell by true love. Prince Siegfried is expected to marry a suitable girl in order to secure his dynastic line. He fails to fall in love with any of the girls considered to be a good match, instead falling for a strange girl named Odette, bewitched by her beauty. Siegfried vows undying love for Odette. The curse on Odette means that she can only take human form for a couple of hours each night. The evil sorcerer sees his chance, sending his own daughter to a costume ball at the palace transformed to look like Odette. The plan succeeds and the beguiled Prince unknowingly breaks his vow. When he realises that he has been duped, Siegfried begs Odette to forgive him, which she does.

Mostly, male enhancement patches must be applied in the abdominal area of the penis, and in return the herbs, vitamins and minerals contained in the pill stimulate the blood flow and allow the penis to increase in size.
Effective male enhancement patches must include effective ingredients such as: Gingko biloba, Ginseng, Zinc, Apigenin, Saw Palmetto and more.
Although there are various male enhancement patches to choose from, they are made with different herbal blend, and thus, the quality tends to be different.

Time For Noticeable Results?
The majority of male enhancement patch will provide your results in a couple of weeks, although results may vary from every user. You will see maximum results in 3-6 months.
What's Great About It?
More and more people cling to male enhancement patch as an effective male enhancement technique because some men are just too afraid to consume things that enter their system.
Some male enhancement patch can really work wonders while others are very dangerous and risky. They can cause irritation and rashes to the skin. With this, it is recommended to go for male enhancement patch that contains all natural ingredients plus male enhancement exercise.

This year for Mother's Day, I'm going away for two nights on a women's retreat with the women at Quest. Since I'm only 30 minutes away from leaving for church, then work, and have more bills to work on tomorrow before I leave, I doubt that I'll be online again before I get back.
Critter has reservations for two at Sal's; arrangements to drive Flar's car; and plans to get his dad help him with the arrangements for flowers. His tux is already paid in full and he has the receipt for retrieving it. I'm leaving a reasonable quantity of clean clothes in the house, and should be up-to-date on bills by the time I leave for church tomorrow. Critter picked up Tigger today, so I could do some data entry for the retreat, and he's picking up Tigger tomorrow so I can get finished with paperwork and packing.
I'm feeling unhurried, confident about leaving the house, and enthusiastic about the retreat.

Let them Eat Cake!
Pupcakes, that is.
I'm a dog lover… okay not just a dog lover but a dog obsessed freak of nature! I'm totally the girl who has full on conversations with her dog smack in the middle of a room full of people (in a very awkward dog voice, no less), I'd rather stay in on a Saturday than have to leave my poor pup at home alone, and yes, I've been known to take the occasional shower with my four-legged roommate (what's not normal about that?). So, naturally, as a baker, I absolutely make dog treats for my puppy to eat. Here's Diamond and her friend Patches enjoying an Apple Cheddar Pupcake with Carob Frosting.
While they look tempting, trust me, these pupcakes have a "sophisticated" flavor profile that only our canine companions could appreciate. Pupcakes are made with a gluten-free and wheat-free flour and no salt or sugar is added. The carob frosting is made with a non fat cream cheese base. Ruff!…. I mean, Enjoy!

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has urged the military to maintain a high state of readiness amid a hike in tensions following his uncle's execution.
Kim's comments came during a visit to a military unit near the port of Nambo on the anniversary of the day his late father was named supreme commander of the North Korean army, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported Wednesday.
"He instructed the unit to put utmost spurs on rounding off its combat readiness with the firm viewpoint ... always bearing in mind that a war breaks out without any prior notice," the North's Korean Central News Agency said in a statement.
Kim's visit coincided with a visit by South Korean President Park Geun-hye to a front-line unit. She ordered soldiers to deal "sternly and mercilessly" with any North Korean provocations.
It was Park's first visit to the front line since being elected in February.
