The Marriage Experimentbythe_shires©
"Hon, I know you have other needs, needs we both know I can't satisfy and you also know all I want is for you to be happy. If you want to explore what it's like to be with a woman, I'm going to support you."
Alex held his wife's hand and took a sip of his rum and coke. It was date night and Alex had taken Holly to an upscale martini bar on the south side of town.
"I'm completely fine with us." Holly gestured between her and Alex.
"Having fun together with another girl, I just don't think I can do it alone. I would feel like I 'm cheating on you," Holly explained.
"As long as we're always open and honest with each other and you never go behind my back and sleep around with girls or guys then, in my mind, it's not cheating. I love you Holly. I really think you should try it out. You never know. Once you do it you may decide it's not for you. But, if you do like it...just don't go fucking every woman you see and we'll be fine. I'm still going to need some loving." Alex laughed nervously.
Holly took in a deep breath and smiled. "Alright, why not? I'm going to try it out. Even if I do really like it, I know myself, and I'll never be able to live without your penis." Holly slammed back the rest of her apple martini as she came to this conclusion and flagged down the bartender. She was going to do this tonight. She was going to pick up a woman in this bar and bring her home. First she needed to have a few more of these delicious martinis to gain enough courage to hit on someone.
Realistically, this shouldn't be so scary. It's not like she was inexperienced sexually. She loved sex, all kinds of sex, oral, anal, threesomes, double penetration, and toys. Holly and her husband felt it imperative to keep their sex lives interesting; they felt this brought them closer together. Holly honestly couldn't understand how some people could go their entire marriage's only having vanilla sex. That had to be so boring and was probably one of the main reasons marriages fell apart after a few years. Screw that, Holly knew herself and sex was a big part of her life, if she didn't get it at least four times a week she turned into a grouchy bitch.
Holly excused herself to go to the bathroom and freshen up; thankful she brought some make up with her to touch up. She powdered her nose and darkened her eyes for a sexier look. Hopefully that would do it. When she was finished she stood in front of the full length mirror and took a good look at herself, she'd done pretty good tonight, with her short black leather dress paired with a blood red belt and black red bottom shoe. Her honey brown hair hung in loose curls to the middle of her back.
She had to admit; she looked hot.
Holly made her way back to the table with a swing in her step, this was going to happen. She was horny and could feel her tummy tighten with anticipation, the adrenalin she'd felt at the thought of bringing a women home only heightened the heat and sensitivity she felt between her legs. She needed release, and she needed it tonight.
"Babe, it's on. Get me a shot of tequila," Holly ordered. Alex went out to the bar and brought back two shots of Patron.
"To the unexpected," Alex announced and they both downed the shot, which quickly warmed Holly to the core.
"So what's the plan? How is this going down?" Alex questioned.
"Well, this place is just starting to get busy. I don't think anyone paid attention when we walked in together. So, for tonight, you're my good friend. Once the dance floor opens up, I'll go make my move."
"Okay, I think I can work with that plan. Just one question?" Alex leaned in and whispered in his wife's ear. "Can I make you come first, to start your evening off right?"
Holly's eyes darkened with delight and said nothing as she moved closer to Alex, the slight movement signaling that she was all in. She grabbed her martini glass shakily as she felt Alex's strong hand gently slide up her leg. The simple touch sent shivers down her spine and caused her stomach to clench with anticipation of the release she knew was coming. When Alex hit the hem of her short leather dress, he opened her legs further and continued to travel up towards her pussy. Holly's breath began to quicken and her heart raced. The thought that anyone could catch them was such a turn on. When Alex lightly brushed his fingers back and forth over her barely there panties, he looked at her with eyebrows raised as he noticed how wet and ready she was for him. Clearly, erotic acts in public worked well for her.
Alex slid her wet panties to the side and began slowly circling her soft clit with his thumb while sliding his finger in and out of her slick and wet pussy. Holly could feel her cheeks warm and her sex start to clench; she couldn't believe how quickly she'd begun to reach orgasm. It was at that very moment that the waiter approached their table. Startled, Holly tried to wiggle away from her husband but he had a hold so tight she couldn't move.
"Happy hour is over in ten minutes, can I get you guys another drink?" the waiter asked kindly.
"Yes, that would be great. We'll take two more rum and cokes, two apple martinis and two more shots of Patron," Alex ordered while he continued to finger bang his wife under the table. Alex looked at Holly with a little smirk on his face. "Is that good with you, babe?"
"Um, yeah, that's good. Hmm." Her reply wasn't directed at the order her husband gave to the waiter, but he didn't seem to realize that.
Once he'd walked away, Holly moved even closer to Alex. "Fuck, babe that feels amazing. I am so ready to come for you," Holly whispered in his ear. With that, Alex quickened his fingers and pinched her clit at the same time and both actions pushed her over the edge. Holly leaned into her husband and bit his shoulder to stifle a loud moan as her wet cunt clenched and spasms around his fingers.
"God you know just how to get what you want from me," Holly admitted under a labored breath as she pulled away and grabbed her purse. "After that, I need to freshen up again."
When Holly returned from the bathroom the dance floor was hopping. When had it gotten so busy in here? As she glanced around, she noticed a group of attractive girls dancing nearby. Instead of going to back to her husband she headed to the dance floor with a sexy prowl-like strut. Just before she reached the girls Holly gave one more glance over her shoulder and made eye contact with Alex, an unspoken understanding passed between them.
"Hey ladies, do you mind if I dance with you? I'm here with a friend of mine and he hates to dance but I love it. "
"Oh, totally! Come on girl!" the woman who replied had blonde hair styled into a sleek bob. She wore Barbie pink pumps, tight black skinny jeans and a long silver shirt. The music immediately had her swaying to the beat, her hips circling back and forth. When she looked up, Holly locked eyes with her, and the blonde gave Holly a devilish grin as she inched closer.
"My name's Marisa, by the way. To your right is Breanne and beside her is Andrea. I've never seen you here before, is this your first time?" Marisa asked while inching even closer to Holly. She could smell her cotton candy perfume and the slight scent of bubble gum.
"Yes, I usually stick to the north-side of town, but my friend wanted to try something different tonight," Holly explained.
"I see," Marisa replied as she assessed Holly from head to toe. "This maybe a bit forward, but you are a very beautiful woman." Holly grinned back at the compliment and the two began dancing with only each other, forgetting the strangers and curious eyes surrounded them. Marisa's hand slid over Holly's bare arms, a sexual desire surged in her eyes. Suddenly, Marisa leaned in to Holly's ear and whispered, leaving a hot breath tingling down her neck.
"I feel like you and I want the same thing tonight, I know you can feel this pull, this attraction between us." Marisa took a step closer, placed her hand on the small of Holly's back, melding their bodies together as the danced to the beat. Holly's sex immediately surged with heat and clenched with desire.
"Why don't we get out of here, I'm sure you and I can find better ways to occupy our time," Marisa whispered again.
"I need to grab my roommate first; he can take us back to my place." Holly grabbed Marisa's hand and brought her to where Alex was sitting patiently, a curious look on his face.
At the table Holly and Alex locked eyes. "It's time to go. I made a new friend and I've invited her back to our place for a few drinks. I hope you don't mind," Holly announced.
"Marisa, this is my good friend, and roommate, Alex. Alex, meet Marisa."
"Nice to meet you." He shook the girl's hand. "Are we leaving right away?" Alex questioned as he polished off his drink.
"Yes," both women announced in unison.
Once the driver pulled up Marisa leaned into Holly. "Why don't you sit in the back with me, we can get to know each other a little bit more."
"Sure." Holly slid into the back seat with a grin. She made the right choice; Marisa was already proving to be more fun than she had even hoped.
Alex hopped in the front with the driver and turned the radio on; cranking the volume to a level that could mask what was unfolding in the backseat. The driver looked to Alex and opened his mouth to speak but Alex discreetly shook his head and gave him a smile.
Marisa wasted no time and leaned over to slide her hand into Holly's hair as she leaned in to kiss her. When their lips touched, all Holly could think about was how soft they were and how good she tasted; like bubble gum and champagne. The kiss alone had Holly's nipples hard and pushing against her leather dress, aching to be rubbed. Her whole body felt over stimulated with a new surge of senses as she reacted to Marisa's every touch and juicy kiss. Marisa's finger gently found their way to Holly's wet panties and slid them aside, much like Alex did earlier that same night. Only, Marisa moved her fingers with an expertise that Alex simply could never match because she was a woman and knew just where and what to touch.
Marisa stopped for a moment and turned to Alex. "It's about to get loud in here, so you might want to turn the music up a bit more. If you want to watch in your rear-view I don't mind, it will just turn me on more." The message was received loud and clear and Alex was instantly rock hard at the thought of watching his wife being pleasured by a sexy female just inches from him.
Marisa returned to massaging Holly's moist pussy. In a fit of impatient passion, she ripped Holly's black lace panties right off and stuffed them in her jacket pocket.
"You won't need these any time soon," she said. "You smell amazing and I would put money on it that you taste just as good. Do you want me to taste you, Holly? Do you want me to lick you from the inside out?" Marisa's hot breath scoured over Holly's face and neck.
"Yes...fuck, lick my cunt, I want it so bad." Holly grabbed hold of Marisa's head and eased it down to her pussy. Marisa didn't waste any time as she began lapping away, sliding her tongue in an out, while rubbing and pinching Holly's sensitive clit with her thumb and index finger. Holly's breath started to quicken as she began to feel that overwhelming tingling sensation start at her toes and move its way up to her belly. Her lower stomach started to tighten and she knew any moment she was going to come.
"Yes, yes... just like that. Keep fucking me with your mouth. God, I'm going to come soon." Holly squirmed under Maria's touch.
"Um," Alex cleared his throat, "We're home."
Both women were shocked out of what they were doing, but only for a moment before Holly grabbed Marisa's hand and led her into the house and straight to her room, shutting the door behind them. In the bedroom, Marisa stood behind Holly and unzipped her dress while kissing her neck. As soon as she had the dress off, she pushed Holly down on the bed, facing her.
"I wasn't finished yet." She growled as she crawled on the bed and spread Holly's long and tanned legs. Sliding her fingers back in her wet and swollen sex, it didn't take long before her mouth continued its torturous suckling. Holly quickly found her hips moving to the same rhythm and her hands grabbed a hold of the sheets. Her orgasm began to return so quickly and it came back with a vengeance, seeming to erupt from the depths of her body.
"Oh! Oh God, I'm going to come. Fuck you eat pussy so good," Holly whimpered loudly as the overwhelming tingling vibrated throughout her whole body. Marisa could feel Holly's sex clench around her fingers and at that moment she pinched her clit and sucked hard, both actions pushing Holly over the edge and her body began to spasm with the explosion of her orgasm.
Holly lay there on the bed, panting for a few moments before she could manage to say anything.
"That. Was. Amazing. I can honestly say that might have been one of the most intense orgasms I have ever had and I want to return the favor. Are you open to toys?" she asked as she lay on her side with her head resting in her hand, admiring the sexy blonde laying next to her.
"Sure, what the hell? Show me what you got." Marisa stood and undressed as Holly went to her closet.
"Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be completely filled?" Holly asked as she stalked back, lighting a few candles on the way and turning the lights off.
"I'm not sure what you mean, so I'm going to say no. Will you show me?" Marisa was on her knees at this point, licking her lips and needing her own breasts.
Aroused, Holly climbed back on the bed, the toys at her side and leaned forward to place her mouth to Marisa's breast. Both pleasure and pain sent electric sensations surging right to Marisa's core. Holly wrapped both of her legs around Marisa's hips and started to rock while massaging her eager pussy. In this position, Holly had perfect access to Marisa ass so she grabbed one of the toys at her side and put it in her mouth for lubrication. Marisa was too concentrated on reaching her orgasm to pay attention, so when Holly took the toy and started slowly circling it around the opening of her anus Maria's eyes shot open in shock.
"Trust me," Holly assured her as she slowly and gently inserted the anal plug. This was an unfamiliar sensation to Marisa but she soon found that she rather enjoyed it, especially once it was all the way in.
"Now lay back," Holly ordered and, as Marisa obeyed, she dipped her head to finally get her own fill of this beautiful woman who so willingly gave her everything she hoped for that night. Holly's tongue was immediately overwhelmed by this exotic flavor, but she couldn't continue for long. This wasn't how she wanted to make Marisa come. Once Holly decided Marisa was wet enough she took the other toy, a large blue curved dildo and began to slowly insert the object into her tight, wet pussy. Marisa moaned loudly in appreciation once the toy was completely in. This feeling of being completely full was almost too much to bear and the moment Holly turned on the anal vibrator Marisa's back bowed off the bed, her nipples erecting beyond comprehension.
"Fuck me Holly, fuck me now and fuck me hard," she ordered and as Holly obeyed she began by gently pulling the dildo in a out, teasing her lover, until it was slick with her juices and then started to pound away at Marisa's swollen and eager cunt.
"Oh, yes, just like that. I'm getting so close," Marisa moaned and gyrated on the bed like she could barely contain herself. She could feel her cheeks warm, her fingers start to tingle and her lower belly tighten in anticipation. Holly was so turned on that she needed to make this woman come and come now. She continued with the dildo, but dipped her head to place her mouth around Marisa's enlarged clit and suck. It only took a moment before Marisa exploded, all of her senses heightened, colorful lights flashing behind her eyelids as she screamed into a pillow and let the orgasm ride its way out.
Once it was over Holly removed both toys with a smirk on her face. Her expectations of tonight were beyond fulfilled. She had set out to experience what it would be like to be with a woman. Little did she know that greater pleasure would come from watching the other woman moan and curl beneath her hands. It was a satisfaction like no other.
"Well, that was fun." She looked at Marisa as she slid off the bed to get dressed.
Marisa fumbled for her bra with labored breaths as she tried to compose herself. "Yes, slightly. It's something I would be interested in trying again, if you are."
Holly felt the sudden need to come clean with this woman whom she shared such an intimate moment with only minutes ago. If hey were to do this again, Marisa would probably find out the truth about Alex. "Listen, I have something to tell you."
"Okay..." Marisa replied uneasily as she continued to get dressed.
"Alex, isn't my friend or roommate. He's my husband." Holly nervously stared at her hands as she made her confession.
Marisa, half dressed, stood at the door with her hand on the handle. "That's interesting. Perhaps, next time we can let him join?" she suggested with as a raised eyebrow and a devilish smirk.
Holly returned the grin. "I like the sounds of that."

Box 575, Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada
The old time sixty broke the sod On many a prairie section, Tearing it up there rod by rod With its mighty power and traction.
Day after day and perhaps by night, It puffed and chugged and rumbled And no matter how much it had to pull
It never quit or grumbled.
But the old one-lungers days are gone Its pioneer job is over
And a little four-cylinder hums along O'er the land that it first turned over

The Ultimate Party Hair
Pump It
The ultimate party blow dry. Think big and bouncy, sexy and full of attitude. If you want textured hair that turns heads then this is the blow for you...
How to achieve:
Wash hair with Unleash Your Locks shampoo and lightly condition mid lengths and ends with Loving Your Locks conditioner.
Apply a small pump of Soothing Waves hair serum to finer hair and two pumps to thicker hair. Gently comb through starting at the ends working your way to the roots evenly applying the serum.
Start rough drying the hair blasting the roots upwards and angles to create extra volume throughout the top and sides until hair is 80% dry. Then part the back of the hair down the middle taking 1.5 to 2 inch sections on a slight angle through the back of the head.
Using a big round brush, start rolling these sections of the hair through the brush (with applied tension to create a better longer lasting curl) and blow dry from above. For frizzier thicker hair, concentrate on smoothing the cuticle before creating the curl for a sleeker professional finish.
After winding the curl through the brush gently unwind in the opposite direction and then wind the curl up into a roller and secure with clip to allow the curl to set. Continue this across your head.
When your hair is completely dry, start to take down the sections you did first and allow the curls to drop from the clips. Once all hair is down, tip the head upside down, shake it a little to mess up the style and add some texture. Add a small amount of Pump It, our hair plumping powder, to your roots and help lock in the volume before a quick blast of cool light air to tease into position. Finish with another small application of Soothing Waves hair serum and smooth through ends of curls and a mist of Ruffle My Feathers Hair Shine Spray.
This style can be created on any length of hair, but looks particularly good on " the bob". Once a sleek shape, it now has movement and texture, bounce and a new lease of life.

I adored writing my hero and heroine, Adam and Primrose and especially my most delectable secondary character ever, Benedict Lashwood (whose story will be released sometime in 2014).
A lot of research goes into dressing and undressing my characters, and I enjoy perusing websites and books to learn about the fabrics used to make the all important chemise and what sort of ties were used to lace up a corset. But my favorite research went into creating Victorian era dialogue for Rakehell's characters.
The word Rakehell, itself was used at the time. The free online dictionary offers this definition:
NounAt the beginning of the story, my hero definitely fits all those descriptions . . . and then some!
rakehell - a dissolute man in fashionable society
profligate, rake, rip, roue, blood
debauchee, libertine, rounder - a dissolute person; usually a man who is morally unrestrained

See if you can pick out 19th century vernacular in this excerpt from Rakehell:
Chapter One
London, 1898
"You ain't one o' them singers o' Psalms are ye now?"
Primrose didn't know which of her senses assailed her the most. She flinched at the grating sound of the woman's East End accent and struggled against the urge to avert her gaze from the soot-covered face, the soiled and gaping bodice of a threadbare frock, the almost maniacal gap-toothed grin.
The bitter almond stench and brown smoke of opium hung heavy in the air, compelling Primrose to plunge her hand into her reticule and retrieve a handkerchief with which to cover her nose.
"Wotch yerself, Trudy!" a second woman blared and then raked her hand under her nose as she sniffed mightily. "That's a regular lady yer addressin.'"
Trudy scoffed. The fetid air she huffed set a strand of her greasy brown hair in motion. "She ain't no lady, Betsy. By the sound of her she's an American!"
Betsy slapped at her compatriot to shush her. "Don't mind her none, ma'am." She grinned with pride. "I knows a lady when I sees one."
Primrose straightened, refusing to retreat behind the two burly stable hands she'd brought from Scarborough Hall.
Clad in a loose-fitting suit of gray, a sallow-skinned Chinese man with a long rat's tail of a braid slithering over his shoulder approached. He bowed slightly. "You here to partake?" he asked in thickly accented English.
Primrose nervously wound the drawstring on her reticule around her fingers. He'd just asked her if she intended to smoke one of the opium pipes!
In looking around at the odd conglomeration of classes lolling on pallets and shelf-like beds lining the walls like corpses in the catacombs, she wondered if other ladies, such as her, came to this squalid place. Here, there existed no distinction between the haves and the have-nots. The fine hairs prickled at her nape. "No," she said blurted. "I was told I might find…Lord Black here."
"Ah, Lord Black! Good customer," the little man said. His thin lips stretched into a smile. He stepped aside and gestured toward the back of the squalid den. "Lord Black in back."
Primrose gulped. She'd ventured quite far enough into this den of iniquity. Acrid bile rose in her throat at the very idea of entering further. Fear that she might not ever see the light of day again bedeviled her, but she willed it away. If Black was indeed in this awful place it was up to her to drag him out.
His most recent brush with an untimely end was incentive enough to retrieve him but today, Primrose had a more pressing reason to return Black to Scarborough Hall.
She glanced back uncertainly at Mathers and Hawkshaw before she lifted the hem of her day gown off the grimy cobbled floor and started toward the rear of the den. On her left and right men of the peerage and the lower classes alike lay in all states of undress alongside naked women Primrose could only presume were prostitutes. One couple was actually copulating out in the open for all to see. Not that anyone seemed to care. Still, Primrose shielded her peripheral vision with her hand.
Most of these people were under the spell of the demon drug. In spite of propriety, the sight of the woman astride the man's…privates…magnetically compelled Primrose to peep between her fingers. Warmth flooded her and she quickly squelched her immoral yearnings. "Such vile and wanton behavior," she snapped under her breath.
Toward the back, terraced berths filled with all manner of people, mostly sailors with their heads thrown back, their chins tipped up, their dulled gazes turned on the newcomers.
Was it any wonder Black had been beset by bandits?
She flinched, recalling the headline brought to her attention only yesterday. Lord Black Foils East End Burglary and Attempted Murder.
But were it not for the news she probably would have never found him.
From the black shadows, red lights waxed and waned in the bowls of the pipes.
This place must truly be hell and its denizens the very devils spoken of in the good book. Primrose swallowed thickly as she peered closely at a man to determine he wasn't the one she sought. If this is hell, then why do their expressions indicate such rapture? She shook off the sinful voice in her head and silently prided herself that she had never fallen prey to such hedonistic desires.
"My lady?" Hawkshaw asked softly as if he might rouse some of the demons from their opium-induced stupor. "That him?"
Primrose squinted as she stepped toward what appeared to be a man lying on a silk bed between two completely nude women whose limbs draped possessively over his. One of the long, narrow opium pipes lay discarded at the side of the bed.
She hadn't laid eyes on Lord Black in the five years since their wedding night. But even in this sordid place, her heart fluttered as she recognized her husband.
But for the nasty bruise over his left eye, he looked content—so unlike the last time she'd seen him, his expression stormy and black, his hair wild about his swarthy face, his amber eyes glittering like the garnet pin secured in the folds of his snowy neckcloth. In his wedding finery, he'd been devastatingly handsome.
Naked, even after all this time, he was magnificent.
Dark hairs wisped across the muscled plane of his chest, growing thicker and wilder as they formed a tight trail leading from his navel downward. Primrose pursed her lips as she looked her fill at his flaccid phallus, lying so innocently in its nest of curls.
Her breathing hitched as she recalled how that particular part of his anatomy had looked on their wedding night. Erect, proud—and terrifying.
Then she'd been but a green debutante, barely old enough to marry and wholly unprepared to become a wife.
Well, she was different now. Older. More mature. Better acquainted with the depths of deception men would go to in order to advance themselves in the world.
Lord Black hadn't changed. That was obvious. He was still a rakehell and a rogue.
Book Description:Lady Primrose Black has a dilemma. Her father-in-law's dying wish is that she reunite with her estranged husband and produce an heir. She hasn't laid eyes on Lord Black since their wedding night five years ago, when he left Scarborough Hall in a rage. Nevertheless she is determined to find him, knowing once she does she will have to use every method at her disposal to entice the rake she never stopped loving.
Viscount Adam Black harbors dark needs and he will accept no less than his wife's complete and utter surrender. Each sensual encounter leaves Primrose wanting more but as she submits to her husband's every decadent desire, she resolves not to lose him again. For the secret that drove Adam away still haunts him. And this time it could prove fatal for them both.

Saturday. Heavy rain. Leeds. At least 2 out of 3 of these are reasons to stay in bed. I'm glad I didn't.
Like around 300 others, I attended the inaugural Northern Rocks event. (The title of this post is from an Independent article about the collapsed bank of a similar name but adequately reflects my brain after Saturday's event). Below are some thoughts, not in any particular order.
There's been a large number of great blogs appearing after Saturday so I won't try and detail everything that was said and I'd ask that you don't judge me against them as I'm just splurging (that's my excuse)!
1. Debra and Emma. Wow. It takes some cahoonas to organise an event like this and they nailed it. Most impressive though was the genuine warmth, passion and respect towards everyone; there was always time for a quick chat to complete strangers and nothing was too much trouble. No doubt there was some frantic leg paddling going on under the surface but the smiles never left their faces and they both deserve knighthoods (or is it damehoods?), for pulling this together, although this is unlikely as they are both probably on some secret service watch list for being enemies of promise. It is saddening to hear that Debra is all but leaving direct teaching - I would have loved her to teach my own children. (My post on why I'm leaving the UK system is here). Bravo ladies, I'm tempted to fly back from Brunei for next year!
2. Lunch. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding the size of a plate. Enough said.
3. The People. It was like my Twitterverse came to life, so many names that I've connected with previously! I suppose it could be taken for granted that there would be a large number of like-minded people there, what with it being a Saturday (and raining and in Leeds) but the passion and positivity was palpable. There was a subtle air of pride about being part of something exciting and different and, whilst there was justified criticism and exasperation expressed, becoming 'militant' and outright 'anti' everything was avoided and positive alternatives explored - in particular, Debra handled the panel meeting expertly, there must surely be a career opportunity there?! As always, Hywel Roberts and Mick Waters got right to the heart of matters and motivated the thronged masses (although I think the rally song may need a bit of work!). These guys are awesome and, like everyone else on the day, have no pretentious air about them, happy to chat with anyone. Not an easy thing given the celebrity status bestowed upon them by us mere mortals! I haven't met many DfE staff but I suspect that would be a different experience.
4. So what? Yes, it was a nice day out (have I mentioned lunch?) but it has to make a difference. On a personal level I got loads out of the SOLO and Flipped Learning workshops and I can see how they could link brilliantly together. So, given the time of year, my role and the fact that I'm leaving my current school in 6 weeks, I'm limited. I'm going to get some children to create some 'how to...' videos for key concepts that the staff have noticed too many children struggling with. This will tick the flipped learning box and could be used to discuss various stages in SOLO - "are you pre or unistructural? Watch the video." type thing. I'm then intending to introduce SOLO and Flipped learning in my new school once I get settled.
What about a difference on a wider systematic scale?
I believe and hope that events like these, combined with Twitter and TeachMeets are the best way to empower teachers to make a difference. I feel the challenge is to get headteachers to buy in. I am often surprised and disappointed by fellow heads who haven't been to/heard of TeachMeets. In my experience it isn't that heads don't want to do relevant, different learning, I think it's a combination of having time and overcoming the fear of doing something alternative to what they perceive will keep outsiders happy. This isn't a criticism, I fully understand the pressures. I was fortunate to get into Twitter years ago and so have accessed years worth of exciting resources and thinking whereas some heads are just coming to this way of thinking; ironically the new curriculum has stimulated some to truly consider what their school offers. Perhaps there's a need for a headteacher only event where they can see the types of learning their teachers could/want to offer and be helped to implement it.
One final outcome for me is the hope that, with an increasing critical mass of educators like those at Northern Rocks, maybe, just maybe, our wonderful profession will be given the respect it deserves and those in charge will consider the children rather than the voters.
Later this week I'm off to Birmingham for the Inspiring Leadership conference. I suspect I won't get as much out of it!
A collection of resources I've come across that may be useful. Take these ideas and thoughts and use them to develop your practice - but don't use them as 'the solution'! Please leave a comment if you've found anything useful.

Hmm...A Review of 365 Things to Make you Go Hmmm
Whatever you do don't buy this book! At least, not if you want to be remotely productive, focussed or are required to feed a small child regularly. 365 Things entertains, inspires, frustrates, befuddles, baffles and amuses in equal measure and, although the concept is to use one 'Thing' per day, it is impossible to not read on, wrestle with a 'thing', read on, wrestle with another 'thing'...You know this book has you completely hooked when you can hear your own brain arguing with itself!
From the challenging, and in some points uncomfortable, introduction 365 Things sparks your thinking into life by making you reflect on the values and messages that you give learners. For example, how many times have we said (even though we hate the thought of it) "only 105 days until SATs"? Most of us have done it, not through some sadistic pleasure of piling stress onto young learners but as a reflection of the externally induced pressures we're put under. Maybe this book will go some way to alleviating this. By embedding the messages, values and prompts contained in 365 Things we'd get deeper thinking, self-valuing confident learners ready to take on the world, secure in the knowledge that they're all good at what really counts and see SATs (and other tests) as an opportunity to show those in power just how great they are.
The 365 Things themselves cover a wide range of topics and concepts and are in some ways similar to the 'Thunks' from Ian Gilbert but the Sparky Teaching flavour is unmistakable; lots of value based content, with practical tips and tricks to extend and augment the learning all done in a positive, light-hearted way. A particular strength of this book is how 'real life' has been used to develop some of the Things e.g. news stories, web content, increasing relevance for your learners and many Things are cleverly illustrated, with the presentation adding an extra 'must-read' dimension.
365 Things, despite seemingly limiting itself to only one year's use, will undoubtedly impact on you and your learners for years to come. Aside from the value instilling content, the 'Things' will stimulate enough additional questions and thinking that you could end up writing your own book! (This probably isn't the result the publishers wanted though, so don't tell them I told you!).
With this book in your collection you'll have a ready-made source of stimulating content that can be used from whole-school assemblies through to class debates and corridor displays. And if you do work out if street dancing is a sport, let me know!

Learning through a lens - a review
Learning through a Lens by Jane Hewitt
A Review
As an amateur photography enthusiast I've fallen into the trap many times of thinking that by buying yet another book about photography it will instantly transform to the level of a professional. As someone who has been in education for 20 years I regularly read books in the hope that they will continually challenge me professionally and improve my competence in education. So, what could possibly be better, a book combining two of the great passions in my life? I have to admit though to being slightly cynical that this would be yet another functional instruction book "use f5.6 at 70mm…" that would leave me frustrated. And what could I really learn about using photography in education after 20 years of teaching?
First impressions raised my hopes. An introduction by Mick Waters, someone who I have a lot of time for, immediately sets the tone that this isn't just 'another' photography book and Jane's own introduction highlights the simplicity of using photography – no need for full-frame highly expensive SLRs and her passion and enthusiasm shines out, showing that this isn't just some geek trying to earn a few easy bob.
Once you get in to the book, the organisation and useful features included mean that, for a busy teacher, it is highly accessible. The first section deals with the technical functions of the camera but, and most importantly, Jane speaks human! No patronising, geeky, superior rhetoric; just down to earth, easy to understand advice to get the most out of your camera.
Chapter 2 is where the fun begins to build. There are a number of activity ideas that are all easily attainable either at home or in school and that produce results that both children and adults would be instantly pleased with. What's more, once again, Jane has considered the needs of busy teachers by using a 'recipe' format and clearly accessible information boxes meaning this activity could be up and running in a classroom within minutes. Pin hole cameras are covered, as are phones and apps with some great examples of low cost apps and their usage.
Now that Jane has got you hooked, there's an important chapter on the use of ethics in photography (perhaps some 'pros' should read this!). And the rest of the first section carries on exciting and informing and slowly but surely hooking you in…
Boom! Like an old style flash gun going off, section 2 arrives with a feast of inspiring projects, activities, links and some all-round exciting things to do for yourself and/or your learners. From 'little people' to street art via a highly informative and practical section on visual literacy I was left chomping at the bit to get my camera out, borrow some children (as a Headteacher I don't see children very often!) and crack on.
Okay, so by now you've probably figured out that I really like this book. It's informative not patronising and easily and quickly accessible by anyone, but ultimately schools aren't measured on the quality of their photographs, so what's the point? Is it just another distraction from the core purpose of schools as measured by outside agencies i.e. English and Maths results?
I guess that depends. Do you want learners who can infer, reason, explain, justify, collaborate, create, solve problems, research, empathise and communicate? What about widening the world to our pupils, challenging them to view and think about things differently? In my school we're constantly trying to motivate learners, to improve their ability to talk at length and depth with deep thinking to support their arguments and opinions, to collaborate and empathise and broaden their minds and ultimately to enjoy learning and succeed at it. This book will go a long way to helping us deliver this. Through projects and activities in this book, learning becomes relevant, stimulating and can be driven by the learners themselves whilst providing practical opportunities to apply English and Maths concepts. And they have fun doing it.
Or you could give them a worksheet.
I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with this book and it might just be the book that unlocks a whole new world and way of working that gets your sparky learners fired up, committing that learning to memory like...well...have a guess!

Earlier that day, Brilith held a meeting with her temple magicians requesting volunteers to investigate the destruction of the nearby village and search for survivors; however, these particular magicians are long past the days of their glorious youth, and so they decided to go by highest rank and send Lorraine instead. Once everyone leaves, Brilith sits on the floor with her head down, angrily waiting for the undependable Agni.
Agni brings Leez to a park on the temple roof to play with luminous firefly-like critters, which only appear when they find something strangely interesting. They are attracted to Leez's "weird" face and soon cover it, causing Agni to laugh so hard that it brings him to tears. This makes the girl angry enough to throw a punch that would kill a normal person, yet still seriously injures Agni. She then becomes worried about his well-being, but he pretends that his suit absorbs all shocks, and even has an auto-clean feature to get rid of all the blood. Agni tells her that he is happy that she is feeling less sad, which causes her to ask if he could read minds. At first he says it is insight, then explains that someone who has lived for many years can rely on their experience to gain a better understanding of things. When she gives him a questioning look, he claims he was merely joking around, which results in her punching him again. She introduces herself as Leez Haias, and he introduces himself as Idioty Smith. When Leez expresses annoyance with his joking, he tells her, seriously, he's Agni. Leez questions the fact that he is the Fire god who sends people to Hell and is known for being cold-hearted, but he claims it is true, resulting in Leez repeatedly punching him yet again.
Currygom's commentEdit
When the main character dies, she's definitely going to Hell.

<thumbnail: smiling Brilith>
■ The first part of Episode 9 is about Brilith and the last part is about Leez. It was originally going to be all about Brilith and her memories from beginning to end. Instead of the scene where Leez appears, it was originally going to be about when Brilith summoned Agni. But those of you who read Episode 8 and waited a week to see what happens next with Agni and Leez would really be disappointed if only Brilith appeared... So I only added the the part of Brilith's flashback that happened before the summoning. I will show her memories of the summoning later. (It will come. Later...)
<image: temple magicians>
■ This elite trio displays the sorrow of aging. When they were young, they were really hot stuff...
■ Lorraine Rartia is neither a priest nor associated with the temple. To explain it more clearly, she is a free agent with no affiliations, and is unemployed. More time needs to pass before she appears. Her character design has changed a bit since Best Challenge and her background is also a little different.
<image: Leez and the lights>
■ The glowing fungi are like fireflies. Even when they stick to your face it's harmless, and it doesn't mean anything like you're handsome or pretty. But it means you're special in a different way, so you shouldn't get too happy about it...
<image: sketch of Leez punching Agni>
■ The original scene was not comedic but more serious and scarier(?) than this. I even colored it... but I thought it wasn't right for her to attack him so cruelly even though he was joking around with her and was actually quite kind... so I deleted the original drawing and changed it to this.
■ None of you believe Agni when he talks about his clothes...right? <evil laugh>
- Lorraine Rartia is a triple-Brahma magician, and is ranked #4 at this point in the story,[1] though her ranking dropped to #5 in the second month of the year N16.[2]
- Asha went to the same university as Atera's temple magicians (but not at the same time).[3]
- Atera has no priest candidates because the barrier maintained by Agni was too perfect. The priest candidates had nothing to do, and all left.[4]
- Currygom has said on multiple occasions (including this episode) that Leez is drawn with a beauty filter. When Agni says that Leez has an interesting face, it is not meant to be a compliment.
- Agni is indeed over a billion years old. Both natural gods and nastikas have existed since the beginning of the universe. Currygom's side story the finite reveals that one nastika is "much older than 1 billion years", thus providing the minimum age of the universe.
- The person Agni thinks about is the weakness Gandharva mentioned earlier.[5][6]
- The summoning flashback that Currygom mentions in the afterword is shown in Episode 11, with another brief scene in Episode 65.

As anticipated, the country voted overwhelmingly to keep the current flag.
The preliminary results of the second flag referendum, announced last week, showed 56.6 per cent of New Zealand - 1,200,003 voters - wanted to keep the current flag.
Bay of Plenty was among only six electorates which voted with a slight majority for change - with 18,197 or 51.4 per cent voting for the Silver Fern flag,
The overall result had been widely predicted and, in my view, there were an array of reasons why the country stuck with the status quo.
Some believed a flag change would be disrespectful to those who fought for their country, others became disenchanted with the process or did not like the Kyle Lockwood design.
I found the Silver Fern Flag design uninspiring. It lacked the simplicity of say, the Canadian flag.
The process too, in my view, left a lot to be desired. From the outset, the bid to change the flag has been closely linked to Prime Minister John Key, who early on announced his preference for the silver fern.
The fact three of the shortlisted designs featured the silver fern - and that the only difference between two is the use of the colour black instead of red - created the impression that people were being guided to a favoured outcome.
Like many others, I was not opposed to change - and would have supported a flag that I felt represented our country.
However, it was an expensive exercise - costing the country $26 million in total.
Given the result, it is hard to argue with the view that the money would have been better spent on other issues such as addressing child poverty.

Yesterday New York Times columnist Bob Hebert wrote a column titled "Countdown to Execution No. 300." It chronicled the case of Delma Banks, a Texan man who is expected to be executed tomorrow night.
The article begins:
"The war trumps all other issues, so insufficient attention will be paid to the planned demise of Delma Banks Jr., a 43-year-old man who is scheduled in about 48 hours to become the 300th person executed in Texas since the resumption of capital punishment in 1982.
"Mr. Banks, a man with no prior criminal record, is most likely innocent of the charge that put him on death row. Fearing a tragic miscarriage of justice, three former federal judges (including William Sessions, a former director of the F.B.I.) have urged the U.S. Supreme Court to block Wednesday's execution.
So far, no one seems to be listening . . . .

Bigge employs a number of modular ('jumper') bridges that may be used to span from barge to shore, for roll-on and roll-off operating, and across creeks and culverts. Most often, modular bridges are used to "jump" permanent highway bridges of inadequate load carrying capacity. These modular bridges are used by jobs requiring specialized transport on platform trailers. Manufactured by Bigge, multiple bridges can be put together as required for especially long distances or wide loads.
- Fully modular as to size and length of bridges—up to 140 in length.
- Up to 1000-ton capacity at 80 foot span; 850-tons at 100 feet
- Quick and easy to erect and dismantle
- Most frequently used in civil infrastructure, refinery, nuclear and fossil power industries

The best way to make brown eyes stand out is through bright, complementary colors like gold, copper, blue, purple, navy and green. These eye shadow hues help bring out the multidimensional tones in brown eyes.
Brown eyed girls with a taste for adventure should try a bright cobalt shadow, like Estée Lauder Pure Color Gelée Powder Eyeshadow in Fire Sapphire. This color contrasts with brown eyes and makes them pop. Navy shadow and liner is another great, slightly more subtle way to get brown eyes to shine. Navy liner is a great way to create a daytime ready cat eye.
To bring out the gold highlights in brown eyes, try a warm metallic shadow. Gold shadows, like L'Oréal Paris 24 HR Infallible Eye Shadow in Eternal Sunshine, and copper shadows, like Josie Maran Argan Eye Shadow in Cinnamon, help to make brown eyes shimmer.
Green shadows help to bring out the green in hazel eyes. Try a greenish gold color, like M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Sumptuous Olive. Greens are a good choice for people who are looking for an exciting color, but aren't quite ready to commit to cobalt blue.
Once the eye shadow has been applied, it is time for the finishing touches. Eggplant colored mascara is a great way to brighten brown eyes. Try Mally Beauty Volumizing Accents Mascara.

First FOUR episodes are already up! Later on, I will begin interviewing all the other event-producers I know about their events! Please consider dropping us a few bucks if these events have ever touched you. It will help us greatly to keep being the strange we want to see in the world.
(2) ALSO, are you an exhibitionist who wants to show the world how you have sex but don't want it all over the internet? I am trying to organize another weird event, but need participants. I already have a few for both Toronto and Montreal, but need more if I'm actually gonna go ahead and book a venue.

Sioux Falls Storm quarterback Chris Dixon announced Monday that he has signed with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League, ending a successful two-year stint with Sioux Falls' Indoor Football League powerhouse.
Dixon, a three-time league MVP, had re-signed with the Storm in September but decided that he couldn't pass up an offer to play in the AFL. Last season, Dixon led Sioux Falls to an unbeaten season and its sixth national championship. The league MVP completed 268-of-363 passes for 3,321 yards and 67 touchdowns with only seven interceptions during the regular season. He also rushed 118 times for 711 yards and 30 TDs.

Quick. Someone strip Joe Lieberman of his citizenship before he causes actual damage to the country. Oh, wait. I forgot; we don't engage in that kind of Orwellian nonsense in this country.
You probably heard about the latest idea from the "independent" senator from Connecticut (who seems to be independent of nothing more than reality) to strip citizenship from people who are accused of having ties to terrorism. Somehow this incredibly stupid idea got codified into an actual bill, which was introduced yesterday. The fact that this knee-jerk response is now present in the Congressional Record is an anathema to our justice system.
Countless questions have been raised about this ridiculous notion advanced by Lieberman. Like, for one: "Why?"
After all, what good does this actually accomplish? The ability to try someone in a military tribunal comes easier when the accused is not a U.S. citizen, but then again, what's the problem with criminal court? And apparently the Miranda rights argument advanced by Lieberman is erroneous as well.
So why would a graduate of Yale Law, who should know better, introduce such a legally fraught, Draconian law?
Oh, of course! I should have known. Thanks for spelling this one out, Rep. Charlie Dent:
Stripping U.S. citizenship from terror suspects is not only the moral thing to do – it will make it easier to kill them, legislators argued Thursday.
"I suspect it would be easier to launch a Hellfire missile at a noncitizen than a citizen," said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). He rolled out a proposal with Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and others giving the State Department power to yank the citizenship of Yanks who join up with Al Qaeda or similar groups.
Yeah, just killing U.S. citizens whom the State Department suspects of having terrorist ties would be wrong. Instead, we should strip them of their citizenship then bomb them to smithereens. Neat and tidy.
But here's another nagging question: What if they're wrongfully accused? After all, it's happened before. Richard Jewell, anyone?
Of course, Lieberman probably has no interest in stripping citizenship from white Christians accused of terrorism. You didn't see Lieberman all over FOX News suggesting that the Hutaree militants — who were recently arrested under the suspicion of planning to wage war on this country from within — be stripped of their citizenship or denied their Miranda rights or tried in a military tribunal.
Nope. It took fellahs with scary names such as Faisal Shahzad, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and Khalid Sheik Mohammed to arouse such despotic ire in Lieberman.
The scariest part is that Lieberman has bipartisan support for the measure, and by "bipartisan" I don't mean independent Lieberman plus the GOP. Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA) is introducing companion legislation in the House with the aforementioned Pennsylvanian who likes bombing people. And Greg Sargent is predicting that there are more spineless Democrats "than you might think" who are afraid to deny the State Department the right to deny you your citizenship. Awesome.
I can't wait to hear psychopath-at-large Glenn Beck try to rationalize this to his Big Gubmint-fearing audience.
Not only is this proposal downright offensive to the very idea of American citizenship, it is also downright frightening that people with the grave responsibility of holding national elective office would propose or support it. And that is why we need to act to stem this sudden rush of fascism.
But since we are lawful U.S. citizens who have faith in the American system of justice, I'm not proposing that we strip Lieberman of his citizenship, or toss him in jail or even bug his phone line.
Instead, let's get him disbarred. He clearly has forgotten everything he learned about American justice while in law school. Any Yalies out there who can help me out with this one?

on orders over £49 before 3pm
Seneye Reef is a digital aquarium monitoring unit that connects to your computer and can even send you text messages about the water chemistry going on inside your freshwater aquarium - amazing technology made affordable by Swell UK.
A coral tank takes a lot of care and dedication. The Seneye Reef monitors the parameters within the tank, without you having to get your hands dirty. It has a clear, simple screen, which gives you all of the information you need at a glance. It's also ideal to use in planted aquariums, as the tests cover plant health too.
This device will monitor the pH level, ammonia content plus temperature and water levels, all of which can affect the healthy growth of corals and general fish and plant health. Swings in the pH level can cause stress which can leave fish susceptible to parasitic diseases.
The Reef device also monitors the PAR (Photo synthetically Active Radiation), LUX and Kelvin levels within the tank, which are vital for beautiful colours and healthy growth. This will tell you when your lights need replacing, taking the guesswork out of coral keeping.
The Seneye Reef will alert you to potential problems before they can take hold. Thanks to the USB connection the test results are sent straight to your laptop, iPhone, iPad or Android device, so you can monitor the health of your tank even when you are not at home. It offers solutions too, so you always have the most useful data.
Also included in the kit is one month's free Seneye+, an optional service this gives emails and SMS alerts, online graphs and charts regarding your tanks progress and a replacement pH and Ammonia slide. Subsequent Seneye+ is charged at £6, and full membership details are enclosed in the kit.
The Seneye Home for tropical freshwater or cold water aquariums and the Seneye Pond are also available.
Key Features:
The Seneye+ includes:
Accesories we recommend:

Xihilisk - Xihilisk [2010]
This is a sort-of 'best of Xihislisk' album. I wasn't familiar with his work before listening to it, but it definitely convinced me to explore more.
This is a sort-of 'best of Xihislisk' album. I wasn't familiar with his work before listening to it, but it definitely convinced me to explore more.
Excellent, I love his stuff!
Sounds Awesome, cheers dude will check it out. I admire his attitude towards music distribution..
This guy is cool thanks for the post!!!
I wanted to recommend to you an artist that builds his music upon brazilian tropicalia. He is an Avante Garde artist by the name of Arto Lindsay. The Link for his album is below. Check out his cover of Princes' Erotic City. Its pretty cool. Enjoy and thanks again for the awesome music that you share!!!
DHint: Interesting listen! I like hearing how he translates the tropicalia aesthetic into a more modern production style. What's interesting here, to me, is that he's not just making modern tropicalia--it's very much a stripped down, and in many ways less complicated sound. That said, the atmosphere and mood is very well re-constructed. The laid back, yet intensely emotional, vibe remains a strong aspect to his songs.
My main issue is that it's not in Portuguese--I love the lyrics in some of the 70s tropicalia you were recommending a while back. Portuguese is fun for me, because it's just on the verge of understandable, between my English and (somewhat limited) French comprehension. As you might've picked up on from my posts here, I'm really not a lyrics person, and in a lot of ways I feel like in Arto Lindsay's lyrics distract from the instrumental parts that I'm more interested in.
But word, I like this release a lot. I didn't look at the date (1996) until after I listened through, and I assumed it was much more recent. Stylistically the production and sparseness reminds me a lot of Caribou...
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Will! Your musical insight is much appreciated too. I've got an album or two of Caribou in my library and know what you mean. I am looking forward to your next post.
Meanwhile. . . Have you ever listened to Vijay Iyer? He is a jazz pianist. My favorite instrument is the piano. Its so versitile. The First jazz album I ever picked up and was Monk's Brilliant Corners. That being said, Iyer is in my opinion the best artist that brings jazz to its next level of development. The swing is gone and replaced with very complex overlapping multiple rhythms. His piano skills make it sound like there are more than one piano playing at one time. Like Lenny Tristano, Iyers' piano skills sends my synesthesia into overdrive making letters and numbers pulse and glow bright neon. Anyway if you are not privy to his music you should check him out, I know you and all the readers of your blog will enjoy. Below are three links to some of his albums:
Historicity - Great for first time listeners, has a cover of MIA's Galang - http://www.mediafire.com/?lg7czsecvc0r35b
Solo - Solo piano, half re-imagined jazz covers and half new material - http://www.mediafire.com/?alfcnujt0wd6eeg
Tirtha - Iyer and two others, Interpreting Indian styles. Its not jazz, not 100% indian, and I dont want to sully the music by putting a classification on it. It is different and worth checking out especially if you are into world music - http://www.mediafire.com/?qk22tg6md6k3656
Thanks for allowing me to share my musical tastes and thoughts. Enjoy!!
DHint and Will, thank you so much..
Most every time a new album is posted here I am reminded why I love this place so much. What is more, is the feeling of community - that all every visiter to your blog really wants is to discover new good music.
Genres don't apply on this site as we're all just insitiable addicts of great production and musical ability.
tl;dr: Great music knows no conventions..
tl;dr: Wauw, internetz.
check out: Irepress- Sol Eye Sea I
ambient metal prog jazz
Wow, thanks! Had no idea what to expect of this, and half way through I still don't. Other than epic progressions. I'll be checking out more of his stuff for sure. I think you're spot on with the recommendation of where to listen to this too.

There are several network tracing (packet sniffing) tools out there such as:
- NetSh trace start
- Network Monitor (Netmon) which Message Analyzer replaced.
- Wireshark
For those coming from the Unix/Linux world:
- Wireshark (used to be known as Ethereal).
- Tcpdump
- Cain and Abel
- Kismet
- Dsniff
- NetStumbler
- Ettercap
- Ntop
- EtherApe
For Windows, to collect the network traces we prefer the Microsoft "Message Analyzer". And there is one (1) out of many reason that we personally like. We get the process which we don't in other network capture tools. Thus, when we are correlating to a log file (i.e. Cluster.log) or a perfmon or a WPT (WPRUI/WPR/xperf) data set, we are able to correlate the process and threads that were doing the work or misbehaving.
Step 1. To install Message Analyzer, here is a step-by-step instruction:
Step 2. Before you capture any network trace, here are questions you should have ready when you are capturing it:
Network tracing (packet sniffing) data to provide when troubleshooting.
Step 3. How much memory does it use during a network trace capture?
The installation requirements are documented here: Installing and Upgrading Message Analyzer
On a machine with 4GB (1GB being used by the bus and video card):
The good news is that it doesn't seem to use that much Non-paged pool memory.
The application itself uses at least 621 MB of Private Bytes (Commit size).
How much disk space does it use? 350 MB for the install and we recommend at least 50GB of free disk space for the network captures.
Where are the temp files kept? c:\Users\UserProfileName\AppData\Local\Temp\MessageAnalyzer\MessageAnalyzer\{GUID}\
In this example, it's in c:\Users\UserProfileName\AppData\Local\Temp\2\MessageAnalyzer\MessageAnalyzer\{GUID}\
So, our Server team builds the C: drive to only have 60GB of disk space, by the time that the O.S., apps, tools and all the security updates are installed, we are down to less than 10GB of free disk space. How do we change the path where the temp files are written to?
In order to change the location of the temp folders, you will need to:
Browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Message Analyzer
Right click on "MessageAnalyzer.exe.config"
Click on "Open with"
Click on "Try an app on this PC"
Select "Notepad"
Under <configuration>, add the following:
<add key="TempFolderPath" value="<drive:>\<your temp folder>\"/>
Note: Where <drive:>\<your temp folder>\ is your drive and folder that has enough free disk space.
Step 4. Minimize the noise.
Close all the applications that are unnecessary for the issue that you are investigating.
Step 5. Clear any caching that has been done.
Clear all name resolution cache as well as all cached Kerberos tickets.
To clear DNS name cache you type in: IPConfig /FlushDNS
To clear NetBIOS name cache you type in: NBTStat -R
Note: This command requires you to be a "Local Aministrator" (i.e. CMD ( Run as admin)).
To clear Kerberos tickets will need KList.exe: KList purge
Note: Depending on what permissions the service or application has, you might have to open a Command Prompt (CMD.exe) using those permissions. For example: If the app or service uses the System account, you will need to use Sysinternals Psexec.
PSExec.exe -s -i cmd.exe
And then run the commands above in the new command prompt that opened to clear the cache(s).
i.e. If you are troubleshooting Internet Explorer (IE), clear the IE cache.
Step 6. In this blog post, I'll be discussing on how to setup a network capture based on Message Analyzer version 1.3 when you are connected via an Ethernet network cable (RJ-45 CAT 5, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CAT 7, etc…)
Right click on "Message Analyzer"
Click on "Run as administrator"
Gotcha #1:
If you don't run it as a local admin, you will get the following error message when trying to setup the capture:
Gotcha #2:
On machines without internet access, you will get the following error message:
If you click on the "Show Log", you will see something similar to:
Click on "New Session"
You should see the screen above.
Next to "Parsing Level:"
Change from "Full" to "High Performance Capture without Parsing"
You should see the screen above.
Under "Select a trace scenario"
Select "Local Network Interfaces (Win 8.1 and later)".
If you have multiple NIC's and you want to select which NIC is being monitored, click on "Configure"
Click on the "Provider" tab
Select the NIC based on it's "MAC Address"
Or to find out which IP address correlate to the "MAC Address"
gwmi Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ft MacAddress,IpAddress
Click on "OK"
Click on "Start"
You will notice that under "Session Explorer" > "Session 1" a green bar is moving across.
And you should also notice the message numbers start to fill out.
<Reproduce the issue>
TIP: Make the repro as simple and short as you can make it.
When you are ready to stop the network trace, click on the "Stop" icon (or press Shift+F5).
Click on the "Save" icon (or press CTRL+S).
Click on "Save as" and add a name to your network capture.
If you are going to be using it in Wireshark or still want to use Network Monitor 3.4 (Netmon), click on "Export" and add a name to your network capture.
If you are sharing the network trace, make sure to provide a detailed description of what was occurring when the network trace was taken, include screen shots if you can.

If you've dropped in on US satellite/internet soul radio recently chances are that you will have heard a bumpy but sweet soul groove called 'Trust Me' from ANISSA HARGROVE. Chances are too that you'll think the tune has a bit of familiarity – quite right; it's loosely based around the rhythm track of Ralph Tresvant's 'Sensitivity'.
'Trust Me' is the focus cut on Washingtonian Anissa's upcoming long player. Other tasty (leaked) tunes include the dramatic 'Love' and the sweet ballad, 'Dream' –an old school soul duet with Jerroll Christopher.
ANISSA HARGROVE's 'Trust Me' is available to download now.

Thanks so much for helping us reach our goal! We would love for our project to continue past this summer; a few galleries may be interested in hosting the Music Box. So, we've decided to add in a few stretch goals to make this happen:
If we reach $4,500, we may be able to transport our Music Box to a gallery on Long Island, New York.
If we reach $6,000 we may be able to transport our Music Box to a gallery in Miami, Florida.
If you would like to be a part of helping this project live on, increase your pledges, or simply spread the word about our project. We would love for this project to reach as many people as possible, and with your help, the Music Box can live on. Thank you for your support!
Walking around New York City today, most people are wearing earbuds. They have thousands of digital songs in their pockets. With our installation on Governors Island, we want to create a space where people can play together in the creation of musical sound. We aspire to bring them back to a time when recorded music was physical, by putting a single song directly into their hands.
Our music box is an enlargement from the classic toy, with the keyboards and handles doubled. This twin design will encourage dual play (with one handle lower for children). Our collaborator, Alex Nelson, wrote an original song, translating the melody onto one barrel and the harmony onto another. It will allow two people to harmonize together, creating infinite arrangements of rhythm based on the speed they turn the handles.
We want a child, who may have grown up knowing only digital music, to make a song out of steel. Maybe we'll even bring joy to perfect strangers, coming together to perform two integral parts of the same song.
We need your support to help us build a giant Music Box on Governors Island in New York City as part of the Figment Sculpture Garden. The materials and the large scale of this project are expensive. Any amount you can give helps to fund the creation of an enormous, interactive Music Box for the public to play with. Come check it on opening weekend, June 8-9, or any weekend this summer!
Risks and challenges
Building a sculpture of this scale comes with obstacles from the beginning. However, we are all experienced sculptors, and we are continually learning throughout our building process. The more we build, the more we learn, and so we are adapting our plan as we go.
Because our project is already slated to open on Figment Weekend (June 8),
we're moving forward with construction every day! Your funding will afford us the materials needed to make this happen.

Good morning crystalline light bearers,
Reach for the stars, for you are there.
Reach for the Heavens, for you are there.
Reach within and so too are all things ~ there is nothing you are not.
Reach for the Heavens, for you are there.
Reach within and so too are all things ~ there is nothing you are not.
When we let go of placating to what others think, or how others react we allow the authentic light of who we are to shine forth and change the All. May your words heal, may your creativity imagine, may your heart love, and may your wings soar ~ you were born to live in this perfection of self-love.
In all of our ascension, enlightenment, and awakening work, know that your children are ready to be included. They are aching for higher dimensional communication, for entanglement, and for the connection that they already knows exists. Talk with them about their dreams, their wishes, their memories of distant star lands. Allow their hearts to beat with the love that we have forgotten and ready to ignite for them so they can live freely in their skin, freely within their joy and light.
* http://crystallinelightchildren.blogspot.ca
* http://crystallinelightchildren.blogspot.ca
I will be starting my new Crystalline Children and Higher Dimensional Parenting audios this week and I hope that you will join me in sharing, communicating, and dancing with us in this profoundly important new beginning. The children are showing us in every way that many of what we have existed within is not serving them. They show us in how they behave, in how they feel about themselves, and how they interact in the world, and we are here to begin anew in the most pristine and lush energetic bedding than we have ever been offered. We have all the support, tools, and skills to begin new paradigms of social offerings and new ways of interacting and behaving and it is within each and every one of us to just begin.
Every small act of love, sharing, kindness, movement out of structure, restrictions, confinement, and lack of creative individuality is how we alter the entire social paradigm to something new. Speak loving words of truth so that your hearts and the hearts of the children are heard, and known, and we can begin to heal, to seed, and to bring forth the garden of light that we all deserve to flourish within. As I was sitting in my front room, enjoying the early morning blessings, I pondered about what our world would be like if we had no material pressure to work, shop, go buy things, and how our planet is shifting from being a planet of outdated social systems that serve very few, and allowing our mind-set and heart desires to be that of liberation of spirit, liberation of trade and good will, and to be that of creative expression.
There may be fears and out-dated perceptions that you may feel when you create new ways of doing things, new ways of behaving, and allow that to be 'ok.' For these sensations are short-lived and are allowing you to see the growth and expansion you have gifted yourself and your family. You are showing yourself as a master creator that this is going to be 'ok' and I know that there is much we can explore in a higher state of being. As we heal the myriad of soul fragments, as we allow for love to be our driving force to unite and harmonize our world, we allow for the inner truth and innate abilities to come forth and this is no different for our children that have already come here as higher oscillating light beings ready to shape our world into one that will serve not only the greater good, but also the myriad of light beings and hybrid children awaiting for our frequency alignment within to truly entangle and commune as a new Universal family.
We are being nudged, urged, and celebrated into a new state of behaving as our God-Self, our Christed-self, and it is within the small moment-for-moment actions, words, and loving sharing communions you intent to create and entangle with. Whether your entanglements are with spirit, your children, your lover, wildlife, the ocean, the Universal beings that support us in every way, just know you are being gifted with wisdom, insight, and unconditional love every moment you so choose to open and receive it, and dance within it. When we move within our moment-for-moment life with the intention of being in the essence of our highest Christed-self, we are sending out profoundly powerful quantum particles of potential that begin the collaboration of an infinite number of opportunities and other quantum conversations of similar light resonance to entangle with you on your journey.
The Universal mind, the omni-field is an infinite Divine garden of light that is unmanifest potential of ALL THINGS; so why not begin this intentional dance and create within it with purpose, with vision, with joyful loving creativity that can truly shift every experience in your daily reality to be one of communion, laughter, bliss, abundance of spirited belonging, and true health and inner wellness.
Here is our link from our live ascension show yesterday as we discussed and entangled with the notion of 'Creating as the God-self' and moving about within this new garden of light.
For those that so desire - here is our complete ascension article;
Enjoy your incredible summer morning and be light, be joyful, be YOU!
Blessings and great love,

Ash (Bruce Campbell) returns for a second season of the gory and hilarious Ash vs Evil Dead. The campy horror show has Ash return to his hometown after the demonic forces spoil his non-stop partying down in Jacksonville. This season has plenty of the disgusting gore and slick witticisms from Ash and his compatriots Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo).
Ash is in search of evil but has to deal with his skeptical father first. Brock Williams (Lee Majors) believes that his son was a killer and murdered those people in the cabin. This season is a lot more nostalgic to the previous movies even bringing in the time travel that brought us the classic Army of Darkness, but that's later in the season. It's early in the season that it is revealed that the demons are the result of Ruby (Lucy Lawless) and her meddling with the Book of the Dead.
The town is terrorized and Ash and friends have to go all over town including the junkyard, the police station, a wild bar party, and an arena. When Evil possesses Ash's car and terrorizes teenagers is one of the craziest scenes the show has given us. The villain of this season was Baal (Joel Tobeck) who can gruesomely slice open someone's skin and inhabit their body.
Ash and the show are forced confront the insanity of the second season as it slowed down for a few episodes and had Ash believing he was a patient in a mental institute. Finally, as the group deal with the death of one of their most crucial members, they decide to go back in time to before Ash went to the cabin and read the book. This leads to a finally in the eighties that serves as sort of a prequel to the original films, showing how the book ended up in the cabin.
Ash vs Evil Dead is a wild and crazy show and one of my favorite on television. This show alone is worth the subscription to Starz though the channel has a ton of other stuff I enjoy watching. Bruce Campbell is remarkable embodying the character he played so long ago with a new verve and a great sense of humor. I hope Ash has to fight evil for many years to come but one day gets to stay in Jacksonville.
