Building a future
If GCSE years provide the building blocks of core skills then the Sixth Form is the foundation on which each individual builds their future – the first real opportunity to stretch their wings, make decisions and take responsibility for their learning and development. This is where students make the transition from a structured and prescriptive programme designed to keep their options open, to the freedom to follow their chosen courses, forge their own path and pursue their aspirations.
Study options
Most girls choose to study four subjects in the Lower Sixth and take three A Levels in the Upper Sixth, whilst others take advantage of our flexible approach, creating a personalised programme to ensure the development of our truly individual learning portfolio.
co-curricular and enrichment programme
In the Sixth Form, our girls have a fabulous and exciting co-curricular enrichment programme.
This is comprised of the compulsory elements of sport and life skills, including elementary car maintenance and basic cookery alongside optional courses such as the European Computer Driving Licence, Extended Project Qualification and Oxbridge preparation workshops.
Careers guidance
Careers advice and support with university applications will form a significant part of the extra guidance we provide. Mock interviews with members of the local Rotary club, a formal networking dinner, business breakfast meetings, useful contacts for relevant work experience and specialist taster courses are all available.
consistently high levels of success
We are very proud of the consistently high levels of success gained by the girls in all aspects of their endeavours. The vast majority of the girls go on to university, foundation art courses or music colleges, whilst a few choose other routes to exciting careers. Our excellent careers advice and academic support ensures that our students secure places at the leading universities, colleges and organisations in their field.

Here's a severe method you can use on your early twenty-four hours...
When you're out on a date, "make her happy" near her outcome to go out next to her. Here's what I show...

Anyway, the large obstruction to final the matter next to a punter is what's ordinarily familiar as "Buyer's Remorse". This is an hysterical corollary wherever a someone feels on the spot atonement after purchase an component.
Typically buyer's remorse happens when a salesman hasn't done a grave beside following-up near end user or to the full explained the benefits in the past final a promise. Usually a poor job by the salesperson leads to the customer regretting his or her judgment and one altogether downcast next to the buying judgment.
Now a naive method to resettle buyer's remorse is to have the salesperson ask the client why he or she chose to generate the buying declaration. Then when the buyer starts information bank all the constructive merits more or less the product, he or she is production a deeper commitment to the component part mortal oversubscribed.Post ads:

Last Friday was Park(ing) Day – the day where San Franciscans and sprawl-fighting citizens around the world reclaimed parking spots to turn them into green spaces! What started as a few grassy plots of sod occupying metered parking spots in San Francisco has blossomed into a world-wide event, and this year was a HUGE global success. In San Francisco alone, over 55 parking spaces were occupied by volunteers, government offices, and local businesses. While the parks were a nice divergence from the usual cars that occupy their space, the park that got the most attention was constantly on the move.
Riding on board in the video is fellow Park(ing) Day coordinator, Liz Ogbu of Public Architecture. Rebar provided not only the incredible design, but the necessary pedal power during the day to
Rebar's movable park merging into traffic.

Nick gave his first handjob to Jay and turned out to be an excellent edger as he stroked and fondled his big hard cock and low hanging balls like a pro. I enjoyed watching one straight guy tormenting another, proud that I'd apparently taught Nick well. He handled this big cock so delicately until Jay was panting, twitching and thrusting, yearning for release. Nick ignored his desperation, maintaining his slow pace, stopping frequently to frustrate him, until Jay shot a big load on his hand, leaving Nick looking at his cum covered fingers in disgust while Jay looked satisfied and exhausted.

My New Pirate Hat
Hmmm...Now, where did I bury that treasure? :)
For Scarborough Ren Faire's Pirate Weekend, I wanted to whip up a new pirate hat. All this time has gone by, and I hadn't made myself one, yet. Finally, I got it somewhat wearable just minutes before we headed out.
Though, I didn't have the trim finished til just yesterday. Now, I need some feathers and other decorations to top it off. Can't decided what color the feathers should be. I'm thinking red to go with my corset. The flat cap that I originally made to go with the corset just wasn't doing anything for me. :)
I made this hat slightly shallower than my mom's hat that I posted about here. The weight keeps it firmly in place even on a significantly breezy day. I also decided to pin up the back on this one, as well. I tried painting some of the tabs black at the tip to reduce the amount of shiny silver showing. I also used some metallic gold shoelaces for the trim.
If you'd like to attempt your own tabistry pirate hat, I provide the pattern for my mom's hat with instructions for constructing hats (including taking measurements) in my POP TOP tutorial with 4 patterns available on Etsy.com. A tricorne is basically a wide brimmed sun hat that is pinned up to form three sides.
BTW, this month seems to be brimming with hats. I'll be posting some made-over felt hats and a paper mache one on my general crafting blog (mieljolie.blogspot.com) very soon. The SO has also just finished a red leather top hat. Feel free to come check those out when I get them posted.

Yorkie WIP
A drawing I have on the go at the moment. It's actually the same Yorkie I drew here, but always wanted to know how I'd go about it in colour. Since I put the Feedjit traffic meter on the blog I've been surprised to see that most of my hits come from people Googling 'how to draw a Yorkie'. Since no-one has left a comment I'm still left wondering if this is a drawing challange or competition.
Anyway, it prompted me to try this little dog again as I like the photo so much. However, I'm not keen on drawing hair and fur so I'm now putting this away for a little while. I'm feeling a bit frazzled from keeping up the blog and keeping up with everyone else's blogs and feel it's time to slow the tempo down a bit - I can't give up reading blogs completely so I have to be realistic! I've decided to return to another creative love of mine and do a little quilting (see my other blog) while I recharge my batteries.

Spicy's Comments: Haven't been able to play the game for some time now, so super thanks to all the people submitting helpful guides for other users. It is really appreciated. I'll probably come back to writing Plague Inc. guides in the future, I don't know when, though. In the meantime, I'll still be posting guides submitted to us, so submit yours now!
** I have not made significant changes to this submitted guide, just fixed some spelling errors**
** Please excuse some game name differences since efs710920mex has only translated this from his game in another language**
Simian flu Mega-brutal guide
I wrote this guide because I didn't really like the others and effectiveness was not really high. With this strategy I have been able to finish the game most of the time. When Neural reinforcement evolves too fast sometimes the cure is discovered before you infect everybody. Depending on luck you can get 5 biohazards and massive points in 600 days or so.
- ATP boost
- Aquacyte
- ATP overdose
- Together strong
- Urbanophile
The strategy focuses on two aspects. First, create 5 big colonies to get enough DNA. Second, evolve only when apes are in the ocean since this will reduce cost. Beware of killing symptoms because they can kill faster than you infect, so keep an eye on infected count.
- Start in Central Africa (highest ape count on the map)
- Evolve
- Simian Neuro-Genesis (15 DNA)
- Simian Colonies (8 DNA)
- Create a colony in Central Africa (5 DNA)
- Evolve
- Social cohesion (3 DNA)
- Cognitive shift (8 DNA)
- Education (12 DNA)
- Intergeneric disemination 1 (2 DNA)
- Create colonies in
- West Africa
- East Africa
- Sudan
- Evolve
- Organized travel (16 DNA)
- Logistics (10 DNA)
- Seafaring (14 DNA)
- Intergeneric disemination 2 (8 DNA)
- Simian chaos (20 DNA)
- Create a colony in China
Collect DNA until research is above 1. Attack any lab that shows up.
Move your colonies from Central Africa to Argentina and East Africa to Australia. While they're in the ocean your ape count drops to some 80k. Take advantage to evolve.
- Evolve
- Drug resistance 1 & 2
- Cold 1 & 2
- Hominidae bridge
- Air 1 & 2 (11 & 17 DNA)
- Blood 1 & 2 (10 & 15 DNA)
- Extreme hemoaerosol (17 DNA)
- Water 1 & 2 (16 & 23 DNA)
- Extreme bioaerosol (23 DNA)
Beware, after you evolve hominidae link, many countries will get infected at once so be prepared to bust bubbles really fast.
Collect 200 DNA and move colonies from Argentina to the USA passing through Florida to infect apes in Caribbean while in transit. Also, when ape count drops again because your colony is in the ocean, evolve. Also use your colonies to infect any resistant country.
- Evolve
- Photofobia
- Subconjunctival Haemorrhage
- Blindness
- Fomites 1, 2 & 3
- Faringitis
- Cough
- Sneeze
- Neumonia
- Bird 1 & 2
After you get the popup saying there is nobody healthy in the world you can use the same strategy to evolve some killing symptoms and abilities to reduce the cure.
That's it, when infected people is lower than ape count you create the Planet of the apes.

[edit: the original video I posted got removed, so I updated it with this version]
I decided to write this post while jamming to Marley's 1979 live version of Exodus, which he performed in Santa Barbara. I suggest you hit play on the video above while you read. If for no other reason except that it's amazing and probably way better than what you're going to read here on this page.
On with it!
"Ja come to break down oppression. Rule equality. Wipe away transgression.
Set the captives free! Set the captives free! Set the captives free! Set the captives free!"
– Bob Marley
It has been four years since I left the pearly gates of the church behind me. Well, four years since I stopped working in the church and moved from my home town to Portland, Oregon – which could have been described as an exodus.
Why I Left
Why did I leave the comfort and security (both financial and physical) of working in the church? I think there are a few reasons:
- I did not intend to leave the church, but instead to leave Thousand Oaks (my home town) – the suburbs.
- I was uncomfortable with getting paid to be a Christian. Christianity, whether I liked it or not, had become a job, and because of that it had lost it's authenticity.
- I was beginning to let go of my exclusive theology of my younger years, and was becoming much more inclusive -which didn't sit well as an employee of "THE way" or some might say, "THE ONE TRUTH".
- Through my travels, I knew that there existed many types of people and lifestyles that were very foreign to me that I did not understand, and it was time to get "outside the walls" so to speak and explore the real world.
Throughout this exploration of my exodus from the church, I will probably reference, over and over, an escape from the "walls of the church". This is a huge theme for me, because I really see the church as being a sort of jail for most of my life. Most of my younger life, I was dragged to church by my parents. We went every Sunday and sometimes one night a week. In my teenage years I went to church for the crazy hot girls (and because I was a good Christian boy, but I really just wanted to make out with girls – let's be honest). Later in high school I fell in love with the celebrity of being good at contemporary or modern Christianity. Meaning: I learned to play guitar and played in the band (big time points), I knew the bible pretty well and would have good "theological points" in our youth meetings, and I have always been really forthright and honest – which I think made people feel like they were succeeding in witnessing to me and changing me for the better, when really I was just built to be a youth group god. Oh yeah. Youth group was my cult. I went to everything. I got involved whenever I could. It brought me meaning and significance – at least imagined if nothing else. And I felt worthy – like people needed me, wanted me, and utilized my talents. It felt good.
But let's be honest, you can only take the same drug so many times before it loses it's potency and you become immune to it. The well of emotional religion can only last for so long before it runs dry – and I can remember the night it did. I stood outside in the cold night with my youth pastor, leaning against my car, explaining that I couldn't "feel God" anymore. Worship had lost it's "magic" and I was floating in an open sea with no anchor and no direction. Suddenly I felt lost and confused, and even more so when I went to college and started being introduced to ideas that were so new to me. Other religions. Other ideologies and theologies. Other meta-narratives that, surprisingly, didn't sound that crazy – at least, not in the least as crazy as Christianity. I began to learn the history of Christianity, the good the bad and the ugly. The really ugly. The nasty even. I began to realize that I would have to read more than the Gospel of John in order to understand Jesus and the gospel. And I began to realize that I really had no idea what life outside the church was like. I had no idea what life outside Christianity was like.
It was about this same time that I started to learn about oppression, reconciliation, redemption, forgiveness, racism, classism, inequality, etc. etc. Really heavy topics that…well… church in my early years never really wanted to touch with a ten foot pole. Up until this point, Christianity was ALWAYS about sin – and forgiveness. I was evil, God was not, I needed God, and I should feel guilty for how awful I am and I need to repent and pray. It was mainly about guilt and shame. But when Christianity stopped being about guilt and shame, and the fabric that was God and Jesus and Christianity became much more diversified and in depth – a whole new world opened up for me.
The Gospel became about freedom.
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
Luke 4:18-19
At some point my theology and the gospel switched from strictly being about sin and the forgiveness of sins on the cross (and life after death and all that), to being all about freedom and the release of captives (all kind!) I began to read the gospel through a different lens. Suddenly Jesus was not hell bent on saving people from their sins – like some apocolyptic crusade to save the heathens from the burning fires of hell in some far off afterlife. But instead, Jesus WAS an exodus from captivity to freedom. He released the chains… yes… of sin… but also the chains of sickness, loneliness, and oppression. His main enemy? Satan? Hell no. The f'ing church. I think some Christians are confused because they look back through time – back through "Christian" eyes. But If you look at Jesus from "Jewish" eyes of the time, you see that he did not claim to be a part of a different religion. He was Jewish. And he was in direct conflict with the Jewish officials – the temple – and those who ran the business of the church at the time (the temple). Jesus was hell bent only one thing – evening the playing ground. Bringing those who had been thrown out – back in (thank you Professor Hauge for that great lesson). I could go on and on about this – but the point is this, at this point, it hit me like a ton of bricks to the face: the modern church was SO similar to the temple at the time of Jesus. It had become political. It had become uniform. It had become about who was IN and who was OUT. Jesus would not be happy with church. And neither was I.
I became very bitter with the current state of organized church. This was after we moved to Portland. We tried a few different churches and ended up at, what felt like in the beginning, a really cool church (not just cool in the sense of hip, but cool in the sense of promising to not just be about who is in and out, but about real honest things like redemption, feeding the poor, loving and accepting all people, etc.). But it soon became clear that this church, despite it's cool clothing (metaphorically) was actually the same bitch underneath all that makeup (and beer). What I came to realize was that, nothing… not location, or music, or beer, or youth, can cover up inauthenticity. Nothing can cover up the heart of a church. And eventually, it comes out plain and simple that church is about a few main things:
The Church can be a Jail
1. Church is a business.
It has to be. Because most churches "employ" a pastor, or multiple pastors, and most churches meet in a building, which they must pay for. Even the smallest ventures (like the church that met in the pub and only had three paid pastors, and not paid well) need money. And if the numbers aren't in the black month to month, the church becomes about pretty much exclusively, out of pure need, about money. They start having sermons almost on a monthly basis exclusively about giving (god, that's the ultimate sign). They start campaigns to get people pumped about giving. They try and sell all their products and services. Because they have to. They are a business, and it takes money to run a business.
Can it not be a business? Sure it can. But it feels SOOO freaking weird to NOT be a business. Ever been to a home church? Yeah. I have, maybe once. And it was WEIRD. Not bad. Not evil. Not unethical or not biblical – just weird. Because, I have been born and raised in the walls of church inc. The company. The business. And it feels SOOO weird to not be in a building. To not have a band. To not have certain things (like a printed bulletin, or a kids program that baby-sits my kids). You know what it's like? It's like going organic or farm fed for food. You know it's probably better for you and you want to try it out – so you go out to the farm, and you are completely weirded out by that culture because it is so opposite of the fast food culture you were raised in. It's like moving from Southern Californian suburbs to Portland Oregon! SHOCK. HORROR. AWKWARD MOMENTS. HIPPIES! HIPPIES! HIPPIES!. Haha. You get the point.
We are so conditioned to think of church as… well – what do you think of when you hear the word church? A pastor? A building? A band? Pews? Bibles? Kids programs? Donuts and coffee? Etc. Etc. It all hasn't been this way forever – but it is pretty much all we know.
2. Church is a Country Club
Look, I used to think that this was only true of churches in the suburbs – because most of their members were a part of some gated community or country club and treated the church as the same. But IT IS THIS WAY AT EVERY CHURCH. Let me ask you this? What is a country club? Why do people go to country clubs? To be taken care of right? For a cost you can "belong" to something that will provide you with "status" and "comfort" and "services". You pay your dues and you get services – you get "perks". Let me name a few of the perks of going to church (I started thinking of these as we church hopped a while back and wanted to make a blog about it, but a simple list will do for now):
- Free child care
- Free coffee, donuts, or other sugary/caffeinated drinks (unless its a big hip church that has its own coffee shop, then your screwed, you have to pay for that)
- Free entertainment (worship bands, videos, pastors sermons)
- Travel (and if you raise support, you don't even have to pay!)
- Free moving help (this is huge. I've moved almost 5 or 6 times in the last 8 years, and always had church friends to help – pizza and beer is way cheaper than paid movers)
- Free or discounted services (you know, Bob at church? He's a dentist. Jerry? He's in construction. You're in our club so they'll help you out!)
- Did I mention Child-care for a few hours each week!??! (Ok, I have three kids, this is a big one… in fact we go to church sometimes now, even though I don't really want to, just to breathe for 1 hour)
I could probably go on but you get the point. If you are honest – you HAVE to admit there are perks for being a part of a church. As there SHOULD be. God fearing loving individuals who are all about community and helping others before themselves will get perks – BUT – most of the time, there is an unsaid rule that this only applies if you are a member of the church. Or at least you plan on TITHING. DUES BITCH. DUES.
(So I think I've cussed a few times so far which has probably scared off my parents and a few other devote followers of Christ. Sorry peeps! Santa Cruz will do this to your mouth! It's not my fault! ^_^)
3. Church is a popularity contest
This actually makes me the most sad out of any other "thing" that the church is, that it probably shouldn't be. Because like church being a country club, it falls in the category of creating a distinction between who is in and who is out – and that is SO SO SO counter to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
But the church is a never ending popularity contest. You don't really see it or feel it until you are on the outside, but once you are on the outside, it is so clear that Christians are trying to be… well… good Christians. They try and say the right words, do the right deeds, care about the right things, in order to score "church points" so that – I don't know – they can feel good about themselves? They can feel meaning and significance? I guess it's the same things I felt when I was in high school. It gives people an arena to be someone – maybe they are not someone else (work, family, school). So they worship hard, they volunteer, they say the right words, they meet the right people, they try and connect with the celebrity pastor, they stay at the church for a long time so they can be a sort of "local". And worst of all – they pretend to care about other people (because that's extra church points too). But these types of relationships are very, very shallow and surface level and eventually are shown for what they really are – and that is when people get hurt. Very hurt.
Authentic relationships happen when layers are stripped off of us and we are vulnerable with each other. If everyone is trying to appear "holy" and "together" and "Christian" – well, there isn't much transparency. There isn't much honesty. There isn't much vulnerability because everyone is hiding under the "God is so good!" shell. And when they come out of that shell?!? Oh boy! P-Circle! Gottta pray for their ass. Because they are being tempted by Satan! They are satanic?!? And they need us (someone start up the movie "Saved!"!!) because we are the love of Christ and through our prayer warriors we will heal this doubt or bitterness or anger or whatever.
But just like those shallow relationships that "popular" people have in high school – popularity church relationships are shown for what they really are and people get REALLY hurt, like I said. It's dangerous. It's awful. So stop trying to be cool, church people, ok? Just be real. But don't be real to gain church points – that doesn't count! Frick. haha.
Anyway, I should circle back to my main thesis here: Exodus.
I'll be done with this post since I'm getting tired and my thoughts are not as clear and crisp as they could be. But in my next post, in the future sometime, I want to touch on how my beliefs have changed in the last 5 years, who has changed my mind on certain things, and where I find hope now. That last part, the hope part, is so important. Because I get that there are a lot of disenchanted Christian church people out there who might relate with some of this stuff – but still love Jesus and want to find something to believe in. I know. Me too. And I think I'm coming out of the dark cloud pillar… but only to realize I'm wandering in a wilderness for the rest of my life. (I love the Exodus story for Moses and all that if you haven't picked up on that yet… brilliant writing. Seriously. Brilliant.)
Ok. More next time. Peace be with you all (Kelsey. ^_^ and maybe Robin. Hi! Oh yeah, and maybe my mom like three months from now when she has the time and actually remembers I linked to my blog from her computer!)
Oh yeah, and here's a link to Bob Marley's entire 1979 Santa Barbara concert! Which I have been jamming to for this entire hour and a half of writing this.

For graduates interested in a career in finance, working at Bloomberg provides an exciting alternative to joining an investment bank. The Gateway caught up with the Head of Front Office Derivatives to hear his story, and find out the differences between the two.
Karim Faraj graduated with an engineering degree from one of France's top universities, Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Paris, and joined the investment bank BNP Paribas in Paris as part of the bank's equity derivatives structuring team.
He later went on to join Barclays Capital and Goldman Sachs in London, working across different areas of derivatives structuring and pricing, as well as risk management.
After a successful career in the industry, Karim made the decision to change course and move to Bloomberg, a leading global provider of financial software and information services.
We spoke to Karim about his decision and how his work life has changed since joining Bloomberg.
"I've always has a deep-rooted passion for maths. As an engineering student, I knew that my career path had to support this interest if I was going to be happy in my work.
"My first role out of university was as a 'quant', working in the Derivatives Structuring team on the Exotic Equities desk. My job was to help design and price new financial instruments and products for our traders and their clients.
"During my career in investment banking, I had the opportunity to work with a range of different products and asset classes; these included equities and fixed income, as well as foreign exchange (FX) and interest rate derivatives.
"Working in financial markets is a bit like being a scientist: you're carrying out experiments in order to find a solution to a problem, only these experiments are taking place at a rapid pace and over a much shorter cycle than they do in academic life.
"I'm a naturally inquisitive and analytical person and the work was very much suited to my personality."
"After seven years in investment banking, I had to go back to Morocco briefly for family reasons.
"On returning, I had job offers from several banks. But, it was at the height of the financial crisis and two weeks before my proposed start date, the company I was going to work for went bankrupt and introduced a total hiring freeze.
"It felt like an act of fate and convinced me take to a step back to reconsider my career options and think about where I wanted to go next.
"Bloomberg was renowned as being very active in controlling risk and providing market transparency. I had worked with the firm on a number of occasions in the past and remembered having been hugely impressed by the people working at Bloomberg.
"It was only at my interview with Bloomberg, however, that I realised the sheer wealth of data and technology they had at their disposal. They were also investing in many new ideas and had a phenomenal network of clients.
"It was obvious they were set to play a significant part in the recovery of the financial services sector. It offered the chance to play a key role in reshaping the industry and in preventing the next crisis."
"Much of the work I've been doing since joining Bloomberg has been closely linked to my previous roles in investment banking.
"I am still very much involved in designing and structuring derivatives products; the only difference is that now I'm on the other side of the fence, coming up with products and solutions for the types of people I worked with previously.
"The role is a lot more diverse in this respect, as I'm working with a range of market players across the investment banking landscape. The firm also works as an advisor to non-banking derivatives users, who include hedge funds and insurance companies.
"There is a growing demand for products that help firms manage their risk. The challenge lies in coming up with bespoke, cutting-edge solutions that meet the needs of each individual client.
"At Bloomberg we serve the entire global market – we have customers all around the world – so no two projects are the same."
"One thing that has really impressed me since coming over to Bloomberg is the culture of the company and the way people here think.
"It's a huge organisation, but in many ways it has the atmosphere of a startup. The changing nature of the market and the clients we work with means we're having to constantly innovate and find new approaches to problem solving.
"It's all about collaboration and working together as a team; from new joiners to the senior managers, everyone is thinking about the long-term impact of their work and how it will help to grow the company.
"It's the same attitude we take to our clients: it's about working towards a long-term goal and building a lasting relationship with our customers.
"Whatever your career aspirations and wherever your interests lie, the important thing for any graduate is to make sure you are doing something you love.
"The first step is to figure out what a particular job involves and whether it's the right option for you.
"I completed several internships before leaving university which confirmed my interest in financial markets. If you're thinking about a career in investment banking my advice would be to go and try it out and to see whether it's a good fit.
"You also need to make sure your first employer gives you the space to learn and to develop professionally.
"When I joined Bloomberg I thought I knew everything there was to know about the industry, but there was a whole world out there that I hadn't yet come into contact with.
"At Bloomberg, you'll have incredible exposure to the various market players and asset classes; it's an amazing opportunity to learn everything you can about the industry and to figure out where your long-term interests lie.
"Bloomberg is also a growing company and one that will continue to evolve over the next few years. We are sitting on phenomenal amounts of data and technology – there's no limit to what we can do with it and the kinds of innovations we're able to bring about."
Bloomberg are currently recruiting for their global data graduate scheme.

Engagement + Availability = Trust
I am tempted to just post the above with nothing more, but of course there is more to being a successful Product Owner than this. That said, engagement plus availability are certainly key! Not only should the Product Owner be engaged and available to the customer or stakeholders, but also to the development team that is actually making this product possible. Keep in mind, in this post I'm referring to the Product Owner (PO) being product management in the software development world. I'm sure some of this applies to the marketing world or other, but I'm no expert in those areas.

Work carried out at the Sub-department of Animal Behaviour in Madingley is continuing to reveal the extraordinary intelligence of corvids.
Known by many amateur ornithologists to be clever birds, corvids; including rooks, crows, ravens, magpies and jays are continuing to impress. A recent article published on the BBC website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8023295.stm)summarises their cognitve abilites known to date. The avian cognition group led by Professor Nicola Clayton and Dr. Nathan Emery have a number of exciting articles coming to press in the near future. Watch this space!

And it seems Olson has decided to be less than forthcoming about his role in managing the privately funded multimillion dollar investigation of the Clintons sponsored by Richard Mellon Scaife. Of course Olson is going to be confirmed as Solicitor General anyway, but it least it will be on record that he's a lying lowlife guilty of the same sort of dishonesty that he and his ilk savaged Clinton for over the course of his Presidency.

This morning I woke up to hear there is a tentative agreement between the owners and players. About time. No, it's way past about time and it's into why the &*%^ did this take so long time? Unlike the teaming throngs, I'm not jumping for joy. This whole thing has me as disgusted as I am at the government is at being unable to solve their problems.
I refuse to point fingers at who is wrong or right. That's not my place in this blog. All I can say is that this whole horrific experience has hurt FANS. And I will never forget this.
No, you didn't help me find minor league hockey, I was already here. But, you made me realize that the minor leagues, unlike the NHL, cares about ME, the FAN. YOU, the NHL, do not. Whether you are an owner or player, you forgot who we fans are once you got to that level.
So, maybe you think that we fans will ALL rush back to watch NHL games, pay whatever inflated ticket price is being asked for the rest of this non-season. And a majority of them may do this. I will be one of those who won't.
On one level, the lockout helped the minor leagues because it brought a lot of fans to leagues like the ECHL and the AHL. I hope those fans who have been going to Bulls games won't rush off to Sharks games or other NHL teams' games and forget about the smaller teams who have been there for them. This would make me sad. The ECHL is NOT a replacement league, it is its own league and a better one, in my opinion.
Sure, I'll watch the playoffs. I may get excited, but it won't be with the same gusto I have always had. I will not spend ONE DIME on the NHL this season. I certainly will NOT go to any Sharks games this season. Next season, we'll see. Bulls games are so much more fun that I don't know if I want to go unless they play the Rangers. The one game I wanted to see the Sharks play this year which was versus the Rangers, was wiped out due to the Lockout, so I don't care much about the rest of this season.
We fans work hard for our money. We go to jobs that many of us don't particularly like just so we can attend hockey games, buy hockey sweaters and have things we like. I see no reason to waste our money on teams and people who take us for granted.
But of you disagree you are indeed free to choose and I'll hold no ill will towards anyone who rushes back to the NHL. Good on ya! Just don't forget about the SF Bulls. They always love you!
Remember Bulls Weekly is January 9th, this Wednesday. Jason always has a Bulls player as a guest, and this week it's a very cool player. This is going to be a great show! Be at Pedro's, just across from AT&T Park. Starts at 6pm.
The Bulls play the Idaho Steelheads Thursday, January 10th at the Barn!

The Hong Kong Journalists Association said Beijing is tightening its ideological control over Hong Kong, raising doubts as to whether the "one country, two systems" principle is still feasible in the territory.
In its 2016 annual report, the HKJA said the detention of the five Hong Kong booksellers in the mainland shows that the central government is bent on curbing publications in the city that are critical of the Communist Party and the Chinese leadership, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reports.
It expressed shock over Chief Secretary Carrie Lam's recent comments that she has not seen any evidence of the deterioration of press freedom in Hong Kong, despite what happened to the five booksellers.
The case shows that there are huge discrepancies between Lam's views and those of the general public, the association said.
HKJA chairperson Shum Yee-lan said one can easily doubt the government's determination to uphold the freedom of the press when senior officials turn a blind eye to the worsening situation, as documented by many cases over the last few years.
Shum said she doubts if the situation will improve, given the social and political atmosphere in Hong Kong at present.
She called on the government to introduce legislation on the freedom of access to information and documents, which would allow citizens to obtain government information through legitimate channels and journalists to cover protests and demonstrations without facing any restrictions.
Mak Yin-ting, editor of the annual report, said she could not comprehend why bookseller Lam Wing-kee was detained and interrogated when what had done was perfectly legal in Hong Kong.
The disappearance and detention of the five booksellers have deterred publishers from coming out with books that are critical of the Chinese leadership, and that has hurt the freedom of the press and publishing, Mak said.
Mak also noted that eight of the 26 media outlets in Hong Kong are controlled by mainland government and merchants, suggesting that Beijing's desire to resume full control of Hong Kong is largely successful.
Commenting on the HKJA annual report, Legislative Council President Jasper Tsang said he would feel strange if people concluded that the case of bookseller Lam Wing-kee has put Hong Kong's freedom of speech and of the press under threat.
He said Lam's accusations against the mainland government after his return to Hong Kong were fully covered by local media without any "discounting" of the content.

Yesterday, right-wing hawk Ariel Sharon decisively defeated Ehud Barak in the Israeli election for Prime Minister.
In his victory speech, Sharon called on the Palestinians to end their uprising and negotiate what he described as arealistic peace. He said any accord with the Palestinians would have to protect Israel's vital interests, includingan undivided Jerusalem.
Born in Palestine in 1928, Sharon has been a soldier for much of his life. During the Six Day war of 1967 in whichIsrael captured East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, he commanded a division. The harsh occupation measuresthat he enforced there gave many Palestinians their first taste of a man who has become their sworn enemy.
Elected to parliament in 1977, Sharon masterminded Israel's disastrous invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
As defense minister, and without explicitly telling Prime Minister Menachem Begin, he sent the Israeli army all theway to Beirut, a strike that ended in the expulsion of Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) fromLebanon.
The move stopped the PLO using Lebanon to launch attacks against Israel, but also resulted in the massacre ofhundreds of Palestinians by Lebanese Christian militiamen in Sabra and Chatila two Beirut refugee camps underIsraeli control.
Sharon was removed from office in 1983 by an Israeli tribunal investigating the 1982 Lebanon invasion, finding himindirectly responsible for the killings.
For most politicians, an indictment of that kind would have meant the end of a political career. But Sharon bidedhis time. His popularity among the Israeli hard right was enhanced during the early 1990s, when, as housingminister, Sharon presided over the extensive building of Jewish settlements in occupied West Bank and Gaza.
His controversial visit last year to the al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem, a site which is also holy toJews, sparked the second Palestinian intifada.
Joining us from Beirut to access Sharon's legacy, is Robert Fisk, who reported on the Sabra and Chetilla massacres18 years ago.

If you have not changed the pam.conf(4) file, pam_unix functionality is enabled by default.
The pam_unix module has been removed and is no longer supported with Solaris. A set of other service modules provides equivalent or greater functionality. Therefore, in this guide, pam_unix refers to the equivalent functionality, not to the pam_unix module itself.
Following is a list of the modules that provide the equivalent pam_unix functionality.
pam_unix follows the traditional model of UNIX authentication, as described in the following list.
The client retrieves the user's encrypted password from the name service.
The user is prompted for the user's password.
The user's password is encrypted.
The client compares the two encrypted passwords to determine whether the user should be authenticated.
Additionally, there are two restrictions when using pam_unix.
The password must be stored in UNIX crypt format and not in any other encryption methods, including clear.
The userPassword attribute must be readable by the name service.
For example, if you set the credential level to anonymous, then anyone must be able to read the userPassword attribute. Similarly, if you set the credential level to proxy, then the proxy user must be able to read the userPassword attribute.
pam_unix is not compatible with the sasl authentication method digest-MD5, since Sun Java System Directory Server requires passwords to be stored in the clear in order to use digest-MD5. pam_unix requires the password be stored in crypt format.
Starting in the Solaris 10 10/09 release, pam_unix supports account management when the enableShadowUpdate switch is set to true. The controls for a remote LDAP user account are applied just as the controls are applied to a local user account that is defined in the passwd and shadow files. In enableShadowUpdate mode, for the LDAP account, the system updates and uses the shadow data on the LDAP server for password aging and account locking. Of course, the shadow data of the local account only applies to the local client system, whereas the shadow data of an LDAP user account applies to the user on all client systems.
Password history checking is only supported for the local client, not for an LDAP user account.

NYMEX RULE VIOLATION: 432.W. GENERAL OFFENSES (in part)
It shall be an offense:
W. for a Member to fail to diligently supervise its employees and agents in the conduct of their business relating to the Exchange.
Pursuant to an offer of settlement Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch" or the "Firm") presented at a hearing on September 17, 2014, in which Merrill Lynch neither admitted nor denied the rule violation upon which the penalty is based, a Panel of the NYMEX Business Conduct Committee ("BCC") found that it had jurisdiction over Merrill Lynch pursuant to Exchange Rules 400 and 402 as the conduct occurred while Merrill Lynch was a NYMEX member, and that on trade date April 29, 2013, a trader employed by Merrill Lynch failed to monitor the operation of a Crude Oil auto-spreader utilized by the firm, minimizing the auto-spreader application and failing to monitor the order modification activity. This resulted in the auto spreader streaming price modifications and disclosing prices to the market that were not viable, requiring the Exchange to initiate a port closure on April 29, 2013. Merrill Lynch failed to diligently supervise its trader in a manner sufficient to ensure that the auto- spreader was adequately monitored and maintained.
The Panel found that, as a result, Merrill Lynch violated NYMEX Rule 432.W. (General Offenses – Failure to Supervise).
In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. to pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $60,000.

Relaxation Techniques for Stress Relief
The body's natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and yoga can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity. What's more, they also serve a protective quality by teaching you how to stay calm and collected in the face of life's curveballs. You can't avoid all stress, but you can counteract its negative effects by learning how to evoke the relaxation response, a state of deep rest that is the polar opposite of the stress response.
The stress response floods your body with chemicals that prepare you for "fight or flight." But while the stress response is helpful in true emergency situations where you must be alert, it wears your body down when constantly activated.
The relaxation response brings your system back into balance: deepening your breathing, reducing stress hormones, slowing down your heart rate and blood pressure, and relaxing your muscles.
In addition to its calming physical effects, research shows that the relaxation response:
- increases energy and focus
- combats illness
- relieves aches and pains
- heightens problem-solving abilities
- and boosts motivation and productivity
Best of all – with a little practice – anyone can reap these benefits. A variety of relaxation techniques help you achieve the relaxation response. Those whose stress-busting benefits have been widely studied include deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, visualization, yoga, and tai chi.
Learning the basics of these relaxation techniques isn't difficult. But it takes practice to truly harness their stress-relieving power: daily practice, in fact. Most stress experts recommend setting aside at least 10 to 20 minutes a day for your relaxation practice. If you'd like to get even more stress relief, aim for 30 minutes to an hour.
Learning to identify, creating a schedule and technique that works for you is the Center's, pleasure to offer "solutions…not talk"

The audio book for Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star. is now for sale on Audible.com, and on Amazon and iTunes.
Also in paperback and eBook from Amazon, CreateSpace, and my Etsy shop: LynchTwinsPublishing.
Ah, the music of my life. It truly is, although I dispute the hubby's contention that I must have been born circa 1850.
Found out a few years ago that in her youth, my mother had a thing for Mark Stevens. I knew we had Rod Taylor in common, but Stevens was a big surprise.
I'm thrilled with this series as it opens up a whole new fork in Memory Lane.
I swear, we were separated at birth, CW. My mother used to sing these songs, so I grew up on them - the music of my life, too. (Actually, since I had "older" parents, I also, of course, had older grandparents. Photos of my grandparents in their youth are the same as in these Gay Nineties movies. And Gibson Girl Grandma Lynch would bust out with a tune from time to time.) I have something in common with your mother: I'm developing a thing for Mark Stevens too.
Thanks for taking the road less traveled down Memory Lane with me.

It was great to see Jack. He hadn't changed much. His hair had gone gray, and somewhere along the way he had given up the pipe, but he was the same affable, good-natured Jack. I will truly miss him.

Very well done. Jack was a real gentleman, I remember him well and he will be missed.ReplyDelete
Wonderful eulogy Tim. I only met Jack a few times, I think at Henry Swain's in Riverside, maybe at a meet. The photo immediately brought back his image. Jack had a beautiful, easy smile. Love the Laguna Canyon eyrie photo reference, that alone would have been enough to make Jack remembered.ReplyDelete
Thanks, John. I'll see if I can find a copy of that Laguna Canyon photo to put online. I should have one somewhere.ReplyDelete

Houses don't need to be big to be beautiful -especially when they're intended as perfect summer beach houses. WMR Architects' Casa Till in Los Arcos, Chile is a perfect example.
Like the Fall House in Big Sur, this glass-filled beach house is perched just atop a cliff overlooking the home's amazing views of surf and sky. The single-story, solar-powered residence blends in seamlessly with its surroundings with a locally-sourced pine roof and flooring, and glass walls. The open floor plan includes an array of sliding walls to allow for additional privacy inside the glass walls along ith changing room sizes based on the user's needs.
While the home may not be big, the flexible room sizes and wall-to-ceiling glass panels make the 700 square-foot structure seem drastically larger than its modest size would otherwise allow.
Attached to the home is a simple staircase that allows residents to travel all the way down the cliffs to access the beautiful beach below. Amazingly, not only is the home difficult to see along the cliffside, but it's practically invisible from the road, which was a specific request of the clients who commissioned the design.

Ultra simple, no cook dips cheatsheet
5 comments:
- Anonymous said...
I am a great fan of your pages, however how can you make mayonnaise without mustard ? And wouldn't houmous be better with sesame oil ?
- Ramki said...
Mayo is about emulsifying oil and water into a creamy dip.. Mustard is an emulsifier, but egg yolks are a far more powerful emulsifier. So it is easy to make mayo with just oil and egg yolks, without a trace of mustard. Try it and you'll be surprised how easy it is !
Would houmous be 'better' with sesame oil ? May be - depends on who's asking the question! For Europeans who've never experienced sesame oil, it might be a learned taste. Olive oil is more neutral and might appeal to a broader audience.

I was browsing through the net for Tambli recipes and bumped into your Udupi One page cookbooks.
What a great resource, Thanks a lot, Ramki.
If and when I cook from your recipes and post on my blog (with minor modifications to the recipe, which I always do), I will be sure to give you credit.

About Me
- Ramki
- Chennai, Tamilnadu, India
- Okay, let me start from the very beginning. 1500 crore years ago, with a Big Bang, the Universe is born. It expands dramatically. Hydrogen forms, contracts under gravity and lights up, forming stars. Some stars explode, dusting space with the building blocks of life. These condense into planets, one of which is Earth. Over time, self replicating molecules appear, multiply and become more complex. They create elaborate survival machines (cells, plants, animals). A variety of lifeforms evolve. Soon, humans arise, discover fire, invent language, agriculture and religion. Civilisations rise and fall. Alexander marches into India. Moguls establish an empire. Britain follows. Independence. Partition. Bloodshed. The license raj is in full sway. I'm born. India struggles to find its place. Liberalisation. The Internet arrives! I move from Tirupur to Chennai. Start a company. Expand into Malaysia, Singapore and the Middle East. Poof! Dot com bust. Funding dries up. Struggle. Retire. Discover the joy of cooking, giving, friendships and the pleasures of a simple life. Life seems less complicated. Pizza Republic, Pita Bite and Bhojan Express bloom !

After battling with Michigan's Department of Human Services for six weeks, medical marijuana patients Steve and Maria Green regained custody of 8-month old daughter Brielle "Bree" Green Friday, MLive reports.
The seizure of Baby Bree made headlines around Michigan after the state removed her from the Green's home in Lansing, Mich., last month, saying that the parents' marijuana usage posed a danger to their child.
The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, passed in 2008 by voters, allows licensed caregivers to tend to a small amount of marijuana plants in the home. According to the law, Michigan medical marijuana users can't be denied custody of their children "unless the person's behavior is such that it creates an unreasonable danger to the minor that can be clearly articulated and substantiated." Both parents are state-licensed marijuana users; Maria is also licensed as a caregiver, meaning that she can grow the plants in her home. Steve Green has used marijuana to treat his epilepsy, while Maria used it to combat symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Michigan Marijuana News said.
The Greens' legal saga began in 2011, when police were investigating a home invasion in Auburn Hills, Mich., in the neighborhood where the Greens formerly lived. An officer smelled marijuana coming from their home. Police obtained a warrant and raided the home, confiscating 29 marijuana plants, according to MLive. The couple was charged with manufacturing marijuana, a four-year felony, despite being licensed to grow the plants.

The sad poster is still my favorite thing I've ever drawn for school, while the Michael Jackson shows that I'm really no good at all! I can't put any motion or tension into anything, ever. But it's okay. I like to draw and being able to do it all the time and learn to develop an actual style for school materials has been the best part of working in Japan. Better than eating school lunch and dancing with children? Yes. Oooh. Someday soon. Someday soon I might tell you a thing or two about teaching English in Japan.
I had higher hopes for this. Look at that guy's weird emotionless arms. Haha. The kids like it, though. They are not very discerning critics. Who is? I plan to fall in love with a discerning critic someday.

U.S. Marshals are selling 50,000 bitcoins that once belonged to Ross William Ulbricht, the man charged with being the pseudonymous founder of the online black market site, Silk Road.
At the current rate of approximately $230 per bitcoin, the total amount would be worth nearly $11 million.
Marshals had previously auctioned 30,000 bitcoins belonging to Ulbricht last June. This sealed bid auction will include two separate series with bitcoin blocks of 2,000 and 3,000.

Earlier this month the 30-year old Ulbricht was found guilty of being the "digital kingpin of an illegal online drug dealing empire," according to Prosecutor Timothy Howard.
The auction date is set for March 5. Interested parties much register with the U.S. Marshal Service by March 2 in order to participate.

Location: Singapor
Design: Branding by Foreign Policy Design
Located in Singapore, Cocotte serves up rustic, French cuisine in a setting fitting of the food. The space feels comfortable and rustic and showcases a mix of industrial furnishings and antique french accessories. Foreign Policy Design created the graphic design and identity for the space and did a great job mixing the comfortable, rustic aesthetic with an urban, modern edge. One of my favorite elements of the space is the brightly painted Tolix chairs and Mooi pendant hanging overhead. It perfectly encapsulates the overall feel of the restaurant.

Mark to leave the band
Thursday, 07 October 2010.
It is with great sadness that we have to announce Mark Westworth's decision to leave IQ. Here is Mark's explanation:
"It all stops here! Well, it's been an honour to have become a small part of the history of IQ, however I've made a decision to follow my head rather than my heart and will be leaving the band at the end of the year. Having to juggle family life, a full time job and finding time to play all this prog nonsense has been more than a handful of late. Anyway, I shall leave with some great memories and will definitely miss the camaraderie and frequent lunacy of the band and crew, and the loyal fans. Creating music will always be my passion, so hopefully I'll find an outlet to release something in the not-too-distant future. All the best, Mark x"
Mark's final appearance with IQ will be at the O2 Academy, Islington, on 11th December. We would like to thank Mark for everything he has contributed to the band over the last three years and we wish him every success in his future endeavours.

Today I want to share with you some ideas of wearing jeans with boots. We are going to see awesome ways of combining your casual and semi-formal garments with your statement shoewear. There are numerous ways how you can style your bottom, while the simplest and chicest way is to tuck your jeans into your boots. When we wear jeans tucked in our shoes, then we have to be ready for showing off our pretty footwear, that's why it's very important to have eye-catching designs, like chunky moto boots, which will change the entire look and feel of the outfit. There are so many fabulous options of teaming denim pants with boots, that are simply countless, yet I want to show you my favorite Polyvore combinations which will make you look timelessly stylish and fashionable. Anyway, let's have a detailed look at these awesome examples:
You can try on slim pants which are a bit relaxed and style them with cowboy shoes, while the top can consist of a simple white top and knitted poncho.
Next look features fitted denim pants which are tucked in high, black leather boots which can be worn with black top and orange coat.
The following outfit comes with cool dark mustard denim pants which can be tucked in brown shoes and paired with a chambray shirt for a smart-casual update.
Here we see another smart casual touch which features regular fit pants worn with high, brown footwear and paired with striped cardigan.
This outfit comes with ripped skinnies, mid footwear, regular fit shirt and loose-fit, elongated cardigan.
Here we see an awesome cowboy update, which features white shirt which can be embellished with a star printed scarf and cool trousers.
The loose-fit printed V-neck is paired with baggy, slim denim trousers which can be styled with ankle shoes.
The ankle shoes can make your whole outfit look original and more formal.
