A Genuine "10 List"
Hey... Listen... I know I said last week that I was going to return to an exposé on the magical system I'm creating for the world I'm creating for my novel, A Spell of 13 Years, but I'm going to do something different again.
I hope this doesn't disappoint anyone. But it is my blog so... There you go.
I've mentioned before that I'm reading this Japanese novel entitled "If Cats Disappeared from the World." I got the book on May 10th. Right now I'm somewhere around page 17, so I'm averaging less than a page a day. But that's OK, because I'm enjoying the experience. I can always tell I'm reading a good story because I'll keep thinking to myself, "I wish I had written this." With this book I'm thinking that every page. That and, "I wish I could go a sentence without pulling out my English-Japanese dictionary."
I've finished a page the other day where they main character, who has discovered that the headache and fever he's had for some time is actually a stage four brain tumor and that he has a week to live, has come home to find the Devil in his home. While walking home, the POV character is thinking of a scene from a movie he saw where the young lady, also having learned she was going to die soon, has written a "10" list. A list of the ten things she wants to do before she dies. He thinks about how he tried to come up with his own 10 list, but ended up deciding that doing something like that is too embarrassing and stupid.
When he wakes up from collapsing on his sofa, his cat hovering over him worried, he finds the Devil standing in the middle of his room. The Devil is a jovial fellow it seems, who looks exactly like the main character except he's dressed in a yellow "aloha shirt" and shorts (he comes from a warmer place, remember?).
The Devil asks, "So... What are you going to do now?"
The man replies, "Well... I was thinking... Maybe... I should write a 10 list?"
The Devil laughs at him. Uproariously.
"Just like in that movie? Really? You're not kidding? Ok. Well... Why don't you? Let's see what you come up with."
So, with the Devil standing over him as he sits at his computer, the man writes out his 10 list. Here is what he comes up with. I've included the original Japanese on the chance with some of the items I mistranslated his items.
1) ジェット機からスカイダイビング。
Sky-dive from a Jet Plane.
2) エベレスト登頂。
Climb to the summit of Mt. Everest.
3) フェラーリでアウトバーンを疾走。
Dash down the autobahn in a Ferrari.
4) 満漢全度
"Mitsurikan All Seats." As best I can tell, a type of banquet practiced in the Manchu era of ancient China where there would be so many items on the menu it would take the guests days to eat through them all.
5) ガンダムに乗る。
Ride in a Gundam. For anyone reading my blog who doesn't know, a Gundam is a giant humanoid shape fighting vehicle from a Japanese animated series of the same name. There's a life sized model of a Gundam in Tokyo.
6) 世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ。
"Crying out Love at the Center of the World." I don't know exactly what he means he wants to do. It is the name of a well-known Japanese novel and movie where a young lady discovers she has a terminal illness. Probably the movie he got the idea for doing a 10 list from.
7) ナウシカとデート。
Going on a date with Nausicaa. I assume he refers to the Nausicaa from the famous animated movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind," one of the early films of Hayao Miyazaki.
8) 曲がり角でコーヒーを持った美女とぶつかり、そこから恋愛に発展。
Bump into a beautiful woman holding coffee at a street corner and have it develop into a love affair.
9) 大雨のなか雨宿りをしていたら、かつて片思い先輩に再会。
Run into senior classmate from school that I had an unrequited crush on while taking shelter from a storm.
10) 愛がしたい。
I want to fall in love.
When the Devil reads the list, he laughs out loud again. "What? Are you still in Junior High School?"
Now I noticed two things about this man's list. The first one was, while the specific items on it are a bit different than a 10 list I would write, the tone is very much in keeping with what mine would be. There would be the impossible things, like riding in a Gundam, or for me having a crater on the moon domed and turned into my own personal villa. There are the fantasies of running into someone who instantly falls in love with you in some series of events as logical and convoluted as a Rube Goldberg machine. And in the end, there is the one, single raw desire stated as simply as it can be said, to find love in a world that seems to have withdrawn the possibility from you.
Later, after thinking about it, I noticed something else about the list. That it is also filled with things that, to put it simply, are common dreams. Dreams that are there because one thinks they should want them. Like streaking down the highway in a hot sports car or climbing to the top of the tallest mountain on Earth. You've heard about other people doing this and you think to yourself, "Yeah... That would be cool." And there they stay in your head as things you should aspire to do. That are normal to want.
How much satisfaction can a person get fulfilling a borrowed dream?
The character in If Cats Disappeared from the World discovers the same thing. After laughing at him for a bit, the Devil says, "Well... Let's get started!" He takes the man to his bank where money is withdrawn (the Devil is apparently a cheapskate, too) and takes him to the airport where they get a jet to take them up to sky-dive. The man tells us that the Devils pushes him from the plane and as he fell through the limitless sky found himself face to face with his dream come true.
Or, that he'd like to say it was that way. What he discovered was that it was WAY UP THERE! And Cold! And SCARY! And that, as he was falling, feeling like a complete idiot, he thought to himself, "Are there people that REALLY want to DO THIS?"
Yeah There are. But the main character wasn't one of them. It was a borrowed dream. On his list because he didn't take the time to think about the the things he REALLY wanted to do.
The biggest problem with a 10 List is the "before I die" part. That indistinct, hopefully not to be realized anytime soon time limit, we are more willing to borrow dreams from other people to fill all the slots.
I think that a 10 List should have no such time limit. Or a time limit that's really close. Like, the 10 things I want to do NOW. Or by the end of the day. Or in the next 30 seconds.
One of the things on my rewritten 10 list was to get this blog posted by the end of the day, instead of putting it off until tomorrow. And I've just done that.
Now to see if I can get to Nepal in the next couple of hours for item #2...

This current trial randomized patients into 2 protocols of 0.9% NaCl-based volume expansion peri-cardiac catheterization. The study group had their fluid rate governed by left ventricular end diastolic volume, measured easily during the catheterization procedure and used as a surrogate for volume status. This allowed the intervention group patients to safely receive higher volumes of saline during their procedures which translated into significantly lower rates of CIN. Obviously this method can only be conveniently employed during catheterization procedures and would need the involvement of interested cardiologists for it to be used in real-life clinical practice. However, the results appear impressive.
You can read a concise summary of the trial and results over at NephJC. Be sure to tune into Twitter on Wednesday June 25th at 9pm Eastern and feel free to get involved using #NephJC.

Greetings NAGutios, and thanks for coming back for This Week In Gaming. This time around we have a big film director giving a big game studio the big finger, Mass Effect Andromeda causes concerns with a new trailer, Xbox One finally has something to be smug about, veteran devs form a new studio and announce a new game (twice), Telltale announces their new series and a long-standing fan project is ordered to go offline. All that, videos, highlights from the week and Schrodinger's cat, after the jump.
Del Toro gives Konami the finger
Film director and videogame dabbler Guillermo del Toro had some choice words for Konami following the Game Awards.
After seeing Kojima showing off the trailer for his new game Death Stranding, del Toro felt inspired to tweet out "F*CK KONAMI" with a link to the new trailer, as well as "VIVA KOJIMA". He followed up that one-two punch with this: "Konami cancelling SH after PT is one of the most moronic things I've ever witnessed."
On that point, I think I can agree. Speculation still runs rampant over how much, if any, involvement Del Toro has had in Kojima's next game, especially since a dude who looks just like him appeared to be in the latest trailer. It's also all really weird, which seems to be Del Toro's brand.
Mass Effect: Andromeda animations aren't as bad as they look
Well, they are, they're just not done yet. Andromeda was the trailer everyone was waiting for at the Game Awards, but afterwards people were a little concerned that things didn't look quite as good as they should – specifically the facial animations.
After a fan voiced concerns on Twitter, developers promised that they're still being worked on, and that the game will be polished "until they take it from our cold, dead hands".
Part of the issue could be that the faces are completely customisable in this game – or maybe it's just that polish. I'd take a lack of polish if it means I can craft my face to look like Trump.
Xbox One outperforms Sony on Black Friday
According to a new report from Adobe, who I didn't know did reports in general, the Xbox One sold more consoles in the US on Black Friday than Sony did. This might not seem like a big deal, but remember Black Friday only sucks ass here.
So what does it mean? Well not all that much apparently, since the PS4 apparently outsold Xbox One overall in November. It does mean the race is tighter than it used to be perhaps, and Microsoft has certainly been gaining ground steadily for months now.
The real showdown will occur when the Scorpio drops, which is set to be a fair bit beefier than the PS4 Pro and hand the performance crown back to Microsoft.
Former DICE and Ubisoft devs announce Games of Glory
A small studio with some veteran coders called Lightbulb Crew has announced a top-down, multiplayer team shooter for PS4 and PC.
Players can choose between 15 characters across five general classes, each with different skills. There's a variety of guns and melee weapons to choose from as well and games will be either 3v3 or 5v5 and wait a goshdarn minute is this DotA?
Is someone trying to sneak another DotA clone past us? Are we just going to start calling them "top-down multiplayer shooters" now? I'll give it the benefit doubt for now, but I've got my eye on you, Lightbulb Crew.
Telltale are making a Guardians of the Galaxy series
Professional story-driven-thing-split-over-multiple-games makers Telltale have announced the setting for their next game is Guardians of the Galaxy. It'll be a five parter, available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and mobile devices. So, everything except whatever Nintendo makes.
It's unclear at this point whether it'll be based on the comics or the movies, but the smart money is on the latter. Or is there even a difference? Somewhere some comic book fans' heads are exploding right now. I'm sorry, guys.
Here's a teaser trailer:
Former BioWare and Blizzard devs announce new game
Are you getting déjà vu? The proper nouns have changed, but same deal – a group of veteran developers have formed a small indie studio (this one called Phoenix Labs) and announced a new game.
This time it's Dauntless, a PC online co-op action RPG which is set in an "untamed science-fantasy world". You'll be some kind of badass called a Slayer battling against other badass creatures called Behemoth.
Here's the official blurb: "The world of Dauntless has been shattered by a cataclysmic event, creating a vast array of uncharted and majestic floating islands. Behemoths, as cunning as they are vicious, consume the land, and it's up to the Slayers to hunt them down before they destroy what remains of the world."
As for feel, the studio says it takes its inspiration from the likes of Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and World of Warcraft. Seems legit.
Fan-made Doom spin-off has been issued a take-down by ZeniMax
No surprises here, right? A Doom rogue-like spin-off made by a fan has been ordered to get it off the interwebs by big corporate owner of said trademark.
It's a story as old as the ages, but this one has a twist – this particular fan project, called DoomRL, has been going since 2002. For those of you following along at home, that's 14 years.
So why now is this an issue? The tinfoil hats have decided that it's because the developer is currently mid-Kickstarter on a project called Jupiter Hell, which is a turn-based sci-fi roguelike that takes it's inspiration from DoomRL and Doom in general.
Ironically, as per the Barbra Streisand Effect, this will probably bring even more attention to the Kickstarter. The little man wins again!

Holy crap, Full Throttle is getting a remaster? Why did nobody tell me this? Or did they? This is easily one of the best adventure games I played growing up. Hype.
Space Hulk: Deathwing gets a long new gameplay trailer. Feast.
Halo Wars 2 gets a new story trailer, and it's looking prettyyyyy gooooood.
Let's finish strong with a full 36 minutes of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. Man that's a crappy title.

LOVE... GOSH Long Lasting Lip Marker, lip stain in a pen!
This is a really great product that I wanted to share with you!
It's £6.99 and I got mine from Superdrug, there are other brands
selling the same type of lip marker but I found the cheaper ones
smell slightly of alcohol, where as this one from GOSH doesn't.
There are more expensive ones around of course, such as Benefit Benetint
which is £24.50, or Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain £21.50
but why pay more when you don't have to!
The GOSH lip marker comes in a range of colours and doesn't dry straight away,
so you can smudge it in, spread it around, purse you lips,
or even use a bit on your cheeks! Cheeky!
It's also easy to build up layers of colour,
so you can wear it as light or as dark as you like.

One of my favourite watering holes in Wellington is The Apartment - modeled on a New York Loft the bar has everything you'd expect in an apartment - dining room, kitchen (bar), lounge, outdoor terrace and even a bedroom! It has all the key elements - exposed brick, steel girders, an open fireplace and a relaxed atmosphere. I'd happily transfer the whole set to my own apartment - minus the "convenience store" - a weird booth that sells gum and condoms! I struggle with the creepy experience of realising theres a bored looking person in a hole-in-the-wall on your way to the bathroom

Innocent Houston Inmate Treated Disgracefully and Dishonorably by Judge and Law Enforcement
A Houston man expected to be freed Thursday after being imprisoned 27 years for a rape he did not commit had to wait at least one more day after shouting from a holding cell and threatening bailiffs and jailers. Michael Anthony Green reacted 'emotionally' to the reality of his release, said Bob Wicoff, his attorney. 'He was threatening everybody and anybody, but nobody,' Wicoff said. Wicoff said he did not hear Green, 45, threaten anyone specifically.
Green blew up after he was put in handcuffs and leg irons for the walk to court, Wicoff said. He also said the jailer who handcuffed Green jerked his arm roughly and put the cuffs on too tight.
'There was no reason to put leg irons on a guy who is getting out,' Wicoff said. 'It's totally ridiculous[.]
In a jailhouse interview with KHOU Thursday night, Green blamed the outburst on his anger at a guard he said was hurting his wrists and forcing him to walk faster than the shackles would allow. Asked what it was like to have spent 27 years in prison for something he did not do, he said, 'Think of the most precious thing in your world, and then imagine having it taken away.'
Despite the events earlier in the day, the reporter described Green as almost jovial. Green said, 'I got over being angry a long time ago because, at some point, you realize it's just not worth it.'
Green's family members, who were in court, said he should have been released regardless of his behavior.
'This is ridiculous,' said Green's aunt, Brenda Murray. 'The judge and everybody else should be ashamed of themselves. This is bad.'
[H]e was visited by his defense attorney from 1983, Bill Harmon. Harmon, now a Harris County court-at-law judge, said it was a 'mystery' why Green was not released. 'I can't tell you why he's not out today,' he said Thursday. 'He should have been released today because he's innocent.'
Harmon said Green was offered a five-year prison sentence for the 1983 aggravated rape of a woman who was abducted by four men in the Greenspoint area. He was convicted on faulty eyewitness identification by the victim and sentenced to 75 years in prison. Wicoff has blamed Green's conviction on shoddy police work, saying the then-18-year-old was identified by the victim in a photo array and a lineup after seeing him in the back of a police car and initially saying he was not involved.
After DNA from the victim's jeans was tested last year, prosecutors identified all four men suspected in the crime, including the three believed to have committed the sexual assault. Three of the men have gone to prison for other crimes and two still are behind bars.
[ . . . ]
After the case was reset for today, Wicoff said his client was angry and needed another day to compose himself before having bond set while the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rules on his actual innocence.
'That wasn't really the issue, how he would act in the courtroom,' Wicoff said. 'The issue is whether he is emotionally stable enough to get out. Or did he just need a little bit more time.' Alan Bernstein, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, said Green threatened bailiffs and jailers on the way to his cell and in the holdover cell, which is adjacent to the courtroom. Bernstein said no charges were filed for the outbursts. He said Green was shackled hand and foot because he was brought back to Harris County from prison in Huntsville as a convicted violent offender. When processed by jailers, Green was put in administrative segregation because of the crime for which he was convicted. He also was put in a cell by himself. As part of administrative segregation protocols, Bernstein said, Green was handcuffed and locked in leg irons to go to court.
Green was expected to be granted a personal recognizance bond by visiting state District Judge Mike Wilkinson Thursday. He was not brought into the courtroom, but his shouting could be heard from the court's holdover cell.
'This has been a gross perversion of justice, and he's a smart guy and he knows it,' Wicoff said. [ . . . ]
They need to let him out,' Taylor said. 'I can feel his pain. I know he's upset. He just wants to be free.'
Here's the thing, this poor human being has been institutionalized for 27 years with the worst of the worst. Do you think he's equipped to stay out of trouble? Do you think Texas authorities will ever let him alone?
He needs to leave Texas, with his family and begin his life somewhere where he will not be under the Texas microscope. He jaywalks, Texas will have him on death row.

Last Sunday I had my first raw food workshop. A pleasant afternoon, at the Bem-me-quer restaurant, here in Lisbon, learning new skills with Marcia Almeida.
Raw food, also known as living food, defends that the enzymes that we get from eating raw foods are more beneficial to our health.
Based on a balanced combination between raw foods and sprouted, raw food acts as a food therapy that promotes health and vitality.
I really like raw food and though I prepare much more raw dishes when the days are hot, juices and vegetable milk are part of my daily menu.
Sunday's inspiration was not afraid of the cold we were having here in Lisbon, on the contrary, it seemed to guess, with some ansiety, the wonderful afternoon I was about to spend in the workshop. That energy I was feeling moved me to prepare some fermented vegetables wich are very rich in good bacterias for our stomach and intestines.
Preparing fermented vegetables is quite simple and there are plenty of options in choosing what to ferment: from cabbages, radishes, onions, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, aubergines, sweet potatos, among others, just choose the ones that you appreciate most, wash them, cut them into thin strips, add a little sea salt and knead them until they release all the juices and are soft.
After that, they must be placed in a glass jar to complete the lactose fermentation process which will preserve the vegetables and increase the amount of their nutrients. The bacteria will convert glucose into lactic acid, preventing them from spoiling and will stimulate the lactic bacilli to manufacture vitamin C, enzymes and trace elements.
A must try for a balanced diet ...
The fermentation can be made by choosing the simpler method (with sea salt, which inhibits the growth of unwanted bacteria), or by choosing a more elaborated fermentation that may take the use of water, vinegar, salt and various spices.
For the vegetables that I prepared I used the simple method, just adding sea salt.
1 small cabbage
½ red cabbage
½ tbsp sea salt
Wash the cabbages and cut them into thin strips.
Place them in a bowl and season with salt (if you feel necessary, add more than the amount indicated).
Press until the cabbages releases all the juice, reduce and are soft. This process takes about 10 minutes and should be done by pressing firmly the ingredients.
Place the cabbages in a glass jar and press well until they are completely submerged in the liquid. Pay attention that the vegetables must be submerged.
Cover the jar with a cloth and leave it in a dark place between 5 to 10 days. At this stage the container must not be closed, just covered.
Taste and if you are already like the flavor, seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator to use whenever you want.
They can be served with any dish. With rice they are very good.
Bon appétit!

OK...I was complaining about the heat, but It has officially and finally started to feel like Fall here! I am in looooooove! The Fall just makes me giddy happy. I love Fall clothes, sweaters and comfy things. I love the leaves everywhere, and the holidays! And of course, the apples!!! What better way to kick off the season than with a fresh, healthy salad. Pearl barley is yet another wonderful grain to incorporate into you diet. So good for you and a good change from the usual brown rice or quinoa for me! I love how tender this grain is. I think is works so perfectly in a salad! Enjoy as it is, or with a crispy pita bread on the side or your favorite soup.
By the way, did any of you attend the Compassionate Cuisine in Long Beach California this past weekend that was put on by Animal Acres? I was able to go with my best friend, and we had so much fun! She blogged about our outing over on her blog, The Veggie-Full Kitchen. I think it will be our new girls weekend tradition every year!

We did end up in the emergency room on Halloween with Hallie but she is fine and nothing more than a Sinus and Ear infection.....She was just glad Auntie Heather took her Trick-or-Treating before she had to go. Thank you Autie Heather! I don't know if I got to thank you properly!

Our Quality Policy
Arzum seeks to increase shareholder satisfaction and to offer higher quality products and services through innovation and sustainable growth.
Our Approach to Quality
At Arzum, the Quality Assurance function is part of the Human Resources Department, while the Technical Quality function is part of the Supply Chain Department. This way, we are certain that our quality strategies and applications are known throughout the company and permeate the work that we do.
At Arzum, company practices are planned to be trackable and measurable so that all business partners receive quality service. Turning quality into a lifestyle, and to get all the employees to feel and adopt our philosophy of quality are the cornerstones of our approach to quality. .
Turquality / Brand Support Program
In May 2011, Arzum joined the Turquality Brand Support Program, which is an incentive of the Turkish government. As part of this program, the company will receive a broad range of support for exports, such as marketing, sales, after-sales services and setting up offices, which will constitute solid steps towards making the company a "global brand."
Product Quality
Expert engineers at Arzum Electrical Appliances Company's Hong Kong and Turkey offices control, improve and change our products continuously. App products and productions are rigorously audited according to international criteria and according to Arzum's own approach to quality. In order to improve product quality, we work with agencies such as DEKRA, SGS, TUV Rheinland and INTERTEK from time to time.
The Technical Quality Assurance Department, which seeks to improve product quality, has the following basic functions.
In order to makes sure that the manufacturers' quality systems comply with Arzum's criteria and in order to become a driving factor in improving the manufacturers' quality systems, all suppliers are periodically audited and their quality systems are marked as A, B, C or D. A and B meet our criteria, while suppliers with a grade of C or D get put on probation and receive consulting for improving their quality systems. After the firm makes corrections, there is a follow-up audit where the supplier is expected to get A or B. If the company cannot achieve a score of A or B, the relations with that company is reviewed, and the company ceases to be an Arzum supplier. .
Supervision basically means inspecting the products before they leave the manufacturing plant and, to identify and correct problems before the product is shipped. This process is executed according to international standards (ISO 2859-1), and the acceptance/rejection criteria are internationally recognized
Once the products are manufactured, a sample that represents the entire shipment is selected according to FRI (Final Random Inspection) is taken and inspected to see if the products meet Arzum's criteria. If they don't, the shipment is halted and corrections are demanded. With this process in place, manufacturers establish their quality systems with the final product in mind, and issues that may emerge once the product is put on the market are prevented.
All products that are to be released to the market are periodically tested according to Arzum's criteria and international quality standards. The primary purpose of the tests is to observe the product's performance and features prior to the release, to diagnose in a laboratory setting the issues that may emerge once the product is put on the market, and to make the necessary improvements. Another purpose is to assure sustained quality levels for products that are on the market, and continuously to improve the level of quality. Hong Kong and Turkey laboratories and, third party laboratories whenever necessary, are used for testing.
Documentation/Market Returns;
The reports and certificates that indicate that the entire product line meets national and European quality requirements, especially CE, are tracked and archived. All new directives and similar regulations that are frequently put into execution in the EU are likewise tracked and the necessary certification tests are carried out.
Furthermore, the market performance of the products is constantly monitored. Higher-than-expected product returns prompt further research; and the manufacturer is asked to improve the product. With this process in place, we aim to improve both market data and product quality.

I dont know about you but I love Typo! It's rather hard to go in there & come out empty handed!
Something else i love is a great workspace!
So when Typo asked if i would like to take part in their Desk Rescue Campaign it was a no-brainer! Um, YES!!!
Yes, you heard it folks, Typo are giving away 3 'Desk Rescue Packs' worth over $600 each!
Its really simple to enter, just head over to their Facebook page and upload a photo of your tragic looking desk!
Let me inspire you with my own 'Desk Rescue'
My workspace was looking a bit lacklustre....However a trip to Typo has fixed all that!
Behold my new desk space! Its all in the details, so let me take you on a tour!
First up, what you cant see off to the left is my new friend & the gorgeous magnetic baroque white board.
Ive been loving working at night with the Hydrangea lanterns on!
I am a bit old school & like to send hand written cards.
I filled the mail holder with a variety of Birthday & Thank you cards - always good to have a few on hand!
How cute is the OMG gold foil card?
Im also a bit of a bandit for colour co-ordinated stationary (did someone say OCD?)
I used a milk bottle to fill with pencils & pens & grabbed a 'Morning Cup' full of tiffany blue pins, paper & bulldog clips!
Some tunes on a cute radio and a cup of tea from a pretty teacup always makes working more pleasurable!
Ive been using the little gold toadstool to store my USB sticks that always tend to go missing!
Then just for something different, I created a corner as a wrapping station.
Its aways handy to have paper, some cute cards & ribbon or twine on hand - especially with Christmas approaching.
In my opinion the wrapping is as important as the gift inside {i spend far to much time on wrapping}!
And of course, given my obsession with all things French, i can see a bit of a theme developing here!
Hello awesome Eiffel tower scissors!!!
I've filled a vase with ribbon, twine & gift tags, & used some stamps to decorate envelopes!
The gorgeous gold faceted vase is also actually a pen holder!
And last but not least I think its always nice to have fresh flowers on your desk
I used typo's skull pen holder as a vase! Loving their super cool 'Book of Skulls' too!
Big thanks to Natasha Mulhall Photography for the beautiful images!

Some recent and upcoming events… : Good Friday service will modeled after an early Christian service called Tenebrae. The name Tenebrae is the Latin word for "darkness" or "shadows." For the service, we will experience only a small portion of Christ's pain and suffering the day of His crucifixion. One of the most conspicuous features of the service is the gradual extinguishing of candles until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains. As it gets darker and darker we can reflect on the great emotional and physical pain that was very real for Jesus that evening. There will be responsive Bible readings, a message, and some songs too. Toward the end of the service, the Christ candle is hidden, typifying the apparent victory of the forces of evil over good. By this single light we all depart this service in silence.
Interested in fellowships and ministries?

I almost didn't get the chance to create something for this challenge, but after the events of this weekend, I couldn't resist and pulled something together. But the whole process of putting this card together and reflecting on what is going on in this country just drove my crazy.
The tragedy that happened in Florida this past weekend is heartbreaking...
Whether you or I agree with any of the lifestyles of the LGBT community has no place in this right now. What does matter is that there is so much hate in this country. And I keep asking myself WHY? Why can't we agree to disagree? Why can't we support everyone in what they choose to do with their lives? Why do we need to turn to violence when we disagree? Why? Just Why??....
I am terrified of the direction that the hearts of so many in this country are going. I don't believe it's a gun issue..or a terror issue...those are all just scapegoats for the real problem. It's a LOVE issue...
I'm not talking that sappy romantic type of love...this is a different kind. One that has not limits or rules. It's open to everyone and we should all feel it for the people in our lives and the people of this beautiful country.
It made my heart swell to see so much support pop up so quickly for the victims of this tragedy. To know that, while the news may show us so much of the bad that happens, there are always good people around too.
Hold onto that good...hold onto the love. Feel it in your soul and live it in your lives.
And just choose love!
"All Life is Precious" - TWD
If you want to help the people of Florida in some way, here are a few links I've found:
This is a straight up GoFundMe page for the victims: Pulse Victims Fund
Here is a great article that highlights so many options to help out: How To Help
As I said before, whether you agree with the lifestyles of these victims or not, this isn't the time to judge.

Previous Grand Hotel, Westgate Street
The Grand resort was built in 1886. Formerly Cardiff's harbour occupied the area in which Westgate Street now runs. The hotel replaced two bars which had stood close to the quays, the Horse & Groom in addition to Red Cow. It was offered at auction for £2, 000 in 1891, filled with stables and outbuildings.
Early trade-union conferences had been held at hotel, in addition to Jewish Amalgamated Society of Tailors found in February 1909 to reorganise its Cardiff part.
The resort has also been popular with sporting societies. Into the 1890s the Cardiff Borough Cycling Club presented right here "smoking concerts", in which cyclists smoked while playing musicians. In 1893 the new supervisor, Mrs Storkey, advertised the hotel as providing "splendid accommodation for seeing football teams".
In 1894 rugby ahead Sydney Nicholls acquired a stake in the hotel, that he went for seven years. In those days, rugby union had been an amateur game in addition to people had a need to earn their particular lifestyle off the field. Sydney had been a forward who played for Cardiff and Wales, in which their achievements had been notably eclipsed by those of just one of his brothers, Gwyn Nicholls. Sydney relocated to Hull in 1901 to play rugby league when it comes to city.
One night in January 1908 the manager, Mrs Rosser, realised at 3.30am your hotel's club had been burning. The woman daughter Lilian, elderly 6, (pictured right together mama) had been among 10 people on the third floor who cannot escape as smoke billowed up the staircase. The fire brigade rescued all of them through the upper house windows.
In 1917 an early women's rugby match was held at Cardiff Arms Park, between groups from Cardiff and Newport. The Grand Hotel had been deemed an appropriate place for the ladies to improve into and from their kit. Based on Cardiff Rugby Football Club's historians, the Cardiff staff – mostly contains staff members through the regional Hancocks brewery – ended up being captained by a Miss E Kirton, who later became a familiar employee of this Grand Hotel.
Following the Grand Hotel shut, it absolutely was converted into 22 domestic apartments and commercial places. Part of the building is occupied by The Mango home Indian restaurant, an evergrowing business which features a restaurant in Magor, east of Newport.

Title: To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Author: Jenny Han
Pages: 368
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
From goodreads.com: What if all the crushes you ever had found out how you felt about them all at once?
Lara Jean Song keeps her love letters in a hatbox her mother gave her. They aren't love letters that anyone else wrote for her; these are ones she's written. One for every boy she's ever loved: five in all. When she writes, she pours out her heart and soul and says all the things she would never say in real life, because her letters are for her eyes only. Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean's love life goes from imaginary to out of control.
As soon as I heard the concept of this book I was intrigued. A girl writes letters to the boys she's loved when she doesn't want to love them anymore. It's how she closes her chapters with them. She seals them, addresses them (big mistake!), and puts them in a hatbox in her closet so she can move on. Well, the letters get mailed and chaos ensues. Lara Jean has to start doing damage control because one of those letters was for her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. So she does what anyone would do - gets a fake boyfriend and lies through her teeth that she doesn't have feelings for Josh anymore.
This is where the book starts to lose me a little. Everyone keeps telling Lara Jean that Peter (the fake boyfriend) is bad news for some reason? He plays sports? Is incredibly good looking? Hangs with the popular crowd? I don't really know what everyone's problem was with him because he was never anything but good to Lara Jean and her little sister, Kitty. He never tried to take advantage of their fake dating situation and no one ever gave a specific reason for not liking him (except for Josh who was totes jealous). The other thing that felt off to me was that Lara Jean felt very young to me. She was supposed to be a junior in high school, but always felt more to me like a freshman. It might just be that she spent so much time with her sisters and Josh that she didn't know very many other people or wasn't comfortable being social with them, but it comes off as her being younger.
Even with these snags, To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a solid contemporary read from Han and would appeal to fans of Sarah Dessen, Elizabeth Eulberg, and Jennifer E. Smith.

Calculate your weight?
I do not understand how to do this and what the BMI(body mass index)is or what it means. Can anyone explain how to do this for me?
4 replies
BMI is pointless, it is a measurement of height and weight. It completely ignores your body type and is why I think it's pointless. Eg, a 6 foot 230lb football player would be classed as obese because of their height and weight yet they may have a very low body fat %. You can calculate it here if you want http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Body fat is a better tool I think. You can calculate it at home and can do it electronically as well as by the math. http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home...
Thanks KD, I agree that BMI is a useless tool. If a person is muscular they are still told they are fat like you said. I did try the body fat test and it's vegetables for me!!! LOL Although I just guessed at the measurements so maybe it's less… fingers crossed.. LOL
I remember Covert Bailey from when I was in graduate school! The muscles I gained from putting away 50# bags of flour (in my 50s) have kept me from getting flopping arms as I've aged, and kept my HDLs high! (However I am not so lucky with the rest of the lipid panel and take a mess of drugs to get those numbers in range.)
Anyway… I agree with KD, there is a difference between BMI and Body fat ratio.

Best All-Season Tires for Your SUV
A big reason why SUVs have become so popular is their versatility, especially in cold climates – even if your SUV never leaves the pavement, it's pretty handy to have that traction when things get snowy. There are plenty of all-season tire options out there for SUVs, but we took the time to pull together some of our favorites for you:
· Michelin LTX M/S2 – Michelin's LTX M/S2 is designed with Michelin's long-wearing, all-season silica-enhanced tread compound, with Michelin's MaxTouch construction. The rubber compound is molded into a symmetric tread design with stable independent tread blocks and high-density 3-D Active Sipes for all-season traction. Four wide channels, multiple lateral grooves and open slots at the shoulders help move water away from the tire's contact patch. Internally, the LTX M/S2 features twin steel belts (three steel belts in Load Range D and Load Range E sizes).
· General Grabber HTS – We like the Grabber HTS for its Eco-Ride tread compound, designed by General for low rolling resistance and enhanced fuel economy. General Tire's Stabilink system provides connecting bars through the tread for extra stability in braking, acceleration and cornering. The Response Grooves are designed for improved steering, with channels to move water away from the tread contact patch in wet weather. Internally, the General Grabber HTS is built with twin high-tensile-strength steel belts, with an internal cushioning system to suppress shocks and vibrations.
· Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S – The Geolandar H/T-S is available with three different tread patterns and three different internal construction designs, tuned for your particular driving style and needs. The Geolandar H/T-S can be a good fit for light-duty on-road driving, drivers of pickups who occasionally haul heavy loads, or drivers who want a rugged, great-looking tire. All tires feature Yokohama's innovative rubber compound and a symmetric tread design for all-season traction.
· Firestone Destination A/T – This longtime favorite from Firestone features their UNI-T technology; a comprehensive suite of innovations that enhance tire comfort, service life and performance. The Destination A/T uses Firestone's Long Link Carbon tread compound for wet performance and cut/tear resistance off-road, with a symmetric pattern and continuous center rib. Circumferential grooves, lateral notches and sipes add to wet-weather traction, with twin steel belts and a polyester cord body for even tread wear, smooth ride and a long service life.

Health Tips | Cardio risks, Vitamin D, alcohol, salt, and yogurt
November 19, 2010 by David Despain
Slashing stroke and heart disease risk, alcohol energy drinks, getting enough vitamin D in winter, and calorie restriction are among the topics covered in this week's Health Tips.
Slashing stroke, heart disease risk with less stress and sleep: Too little sleep and poor sleep can bring high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke [Emory University]; Women with high-stress jobs boost their heart disease risk by 40 percent and heart attacks by 88 percent [American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2010]. And fat that grows around the arteries (perivascular) may be worse than belly fat (visceral) because it may lead to fatty buildup inside arteries, predisposing people (particularly those with diabetes) to higher risk of heart disease [University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center].
Light to moderate drinking is good for heart health, even after coronary artery bypass surgery, cutting risk of heart attacks, strokes and death by 25 percent. But moderate to heavy drinking doubles risk of death in those with left ventricular dysfunction [American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2010 (Abstract)]. (Inhibiting a molecule called Notch,may be behind alcohol's protective effects [University of Rochester Medical Center].) And mixing alcohol with energy drinks is linked to heavy drinking and alcohol dependence, probably because consumers believe myths that caffeine reduces drunkenness and prevents hangovers, which encourages more drinking [Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research] — companies that make alcoholic energy drinks have now received warning letters [U.S. Food and Drug Administration].
Beware brass plumbing in buildings: Drinking water in new buildings may contain undetected amounts of lead because brass valves found in plumbing systems leak the heavy metal. [Journal of American Water Works Association] Speaking of which, if you get gastroenteritis from drinking water contaminated with E coli, you are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure, kidney problems and heart disease in later life [University of Western Ontario]. .
Teens eating fewer grams of sodium daily (ideally less than 2,400 mg or a teaspoon of salt a day) reduce their long-term risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, and early death; the easiest way for teens to cut sodium is to cut processed foods, especially pizza [American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2010] (Abstract)].
Check your vitamin D level: Vitamin D blood levels in winter drop due to staying indoors (and partly due to genetics), so have your vitamin D level tested (ideal range: 50-80 ng/ml 25-OHD) [Am J Clin Nutr]; low vitamin D doubles risk of stroke in whites, not blacks, but everyone is still safer with daily doses (recommended: 1,000-2,000 international units; people with the severe vitamin D deficits may need higher doses, under physician supervision, due to toxicity) [Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions].
Probiotic yogurt helps improve balance of intestinal flora in chronic liver disease patients, preventing overgrowth of bacteria like E. coli from contributing to the progression of the illness [Nursing Research].
Calorie restriction delays age-related hearing loss in mice and reveals that eating less may slow aging in mammals by boosting production of a sirtuin enzyme, Sirt3, which alters mitochondrial production of free radicals (cause oxidative damage) [Cell].

Oh yeah! I have a blog. Sigh. Dear Blogger, sorry for the neglect but you see Facebook and Twitter lured me away with their smooth talkin' one liners.
I do have lots to share though. Did anyone see the Baby Doll dress in Inside Crochet?
I'm proud to say that it was my first garment design and I think it came out pretty good. Many tops hit me right at the top of the waistband of my pants. Hate that! So, I designed this top so it would be easy to adjust the length. It actually fits the model a little longer than it does on me, but still looks cute!
Speaking of Inside Crochet, you may have heard by now that the company who offered the magazine digitally on demand suddenly closed its doors without warning. The publisher is working hard to resource a digital supplier and is hoping to have the details ironed out within the next month. So, will let you know what happens with that. I'm sorely disappointed as I thought the digital mag was fabulous.
For those of you in the States, some Barnes and Noble stores offer the magazine for about $9.95, but it usually takes a month or so from publication date to be in the stores. So, call first.
Will post more exciting news in a mo'.

February 4, 2013 (CHICAGO) --Chicago's newly confirmed transportation commissioner says she will listen to concerns about installing bus rapid transit lanes on Ashland Avenue.
Rebekah Scheinfeld tells The Chicago Sun-Times she knows plenty about the opposition to the Chicago Transit Authority's plan for a 16-mile stretch of Ashland.
One option could be to add more left-turns back into the concept design.
Scheinfeld comes to the Chicago Department of Transportation from the CTA where she was a strategic planner.

Hatch Baby Changing Pad on Shark Tank
Smart Baby Changing Pad - Episode 707 - 1/15/2015
|Hatch Baby
Smart Changing Pad with App
coming to the
Shark Tank in Episode 707
The inventors of the Hatch Baby "Smart Changing Pad" is David and Ann-Crady Weiss, who will appear together on the next Shark Tank in Episode 707. Sure, we all know what a changing pad is when it comes to babies, but with the Hatch Baby, you can also keep track of your baby's weight, sleeping habits, feedings and diaper changes directly from the smartphone App. Yes, the Hatch Baby's even smart enough to know how much breast milk has been consumed or how much has been eaten at any given time.
Hatch Baby before Shark Tank AppearanceWhen the Weiss's went in front of the Shark's for their Shark Tank audition, the product wasn't yet available for sale. In fact, according to the website, the Hatch Baby is finally scheduled to start shipping January 15, 2016, the same day when this Episode 707 is on TV. Whether the Hatch Baby Changing Pad gets a deal on the Shark Tank, remains to be seen until this Friday night.
What we do know is the Smart Baby Changing Pad attracted $7 million in a Series A Funding Round soon after auditioning for the Shark Tank. The Funding Round was led by "True Venture's", a $1 billion venture capitalist firm investing in dozens of successful technology-related start-up businesses. The business relationship between True Venture's and the Weiss's dates back to 2007 when True Venture's first invested in a social network site for new-born parents Ann-Crady started and later sold for a substantial profit.
The cost to buy the Hatch Baby Changing Pad is $249.00, or the current discounted rate of a $199 each while the Special Launch Offer'is still valid on the site. For all you Amazon Prime Member's noticing the Hatch Baby's already for sale on Amazon, but not the official site still taking backorders, you might want to think twice.
I wrote about this 3rd party seller on Amazon going by the name "As Seen On Tank" that likes inflating the actual prices for Shark Tank products, and it appears the Hatch Baby has been added to the list. How much does "AsSeenOnTank" sell the Hatch Baby for, a product that still hasn't officially launched? Somehow, some way As Seen On Tank has figured out a way to list it for $399.00 each. Exactly half of what you can pre-order the product for directly from their website. Either way, you'll still have to wait until the Hatch Baby officially hatches itself before this newest Shark Tank product becomes available for shipping.
Watch the Hatch Baby Smart Changing Pad on the next "brand new" Shark Tank Show and see if the Sharks were smart enough to invest in this baby technology while they still had a chance.

Big up to Joe Botha and Chris Rawlinson (aka I did an "advanced" driving course) for putting this fun shindig together. The idea was to drive a variety of Audis (a Q5, A4, A6, TT, R8 to be precise) across beautiful Cape Town, with a social media twist. It was to be tweeted, blogged, Facebooked, Flickred and whatevered. Swapping cars along the way, we started off at Audi Centre Cape Town in the city centre, then to Constantia Village, and then to Noordhoek where we met up with former Springbok Bob Skinstad at The Toad (his bar), back through Hout Bay, Llandudno, ending at Mouille point. I believe this may happen again. And I certainly recommend it!
The fact that there were fast, shiny cars had nothing to do with my participation: I was interested in being part of a social media junket using non-traditional methods to advertise and PR themselves. Ok, I lie — it was a bit of both. For me this is a great example of a company opening its doors to new methods of marketing, rather than just going the traditional advertising route. Will be interesting to gauge the return on investment.

Last week mum and I spent a wonderful few days in Paris. Here we are on top of the Printemps building.
A very kind and enthusiastic fellow offered to take this pic and insisted on trying out about 10 different angles while we froze patiently (somehow I manage to have this spire sticking out of my head in every one! Mum has been joking that it's my new french fascinator!)
We visited our delightful new French agent - Jackie Marangos and her lovely daughter Natasha at the Aiguille en Fete...
and managed to fit in some shopping while we were there! This is my lovely stash which is my inspiration for the coming week...I found some of the sweetest, old fashioned little girls dress patterns - I'm
extremely nervous about looking forward to the challenge of tackling my first pattern!
Mum left last night
sniff and London seems greyer as a result.
Here are a few cute Valentine's messages that we saw while window shopping at Liberty's
and my favourite...
Happy Valentine's Day!

EU member states with quicker school-to-work transitions have lower youth unemployment, a new study by Eurofound shows.
The study Mapping youth transitions in Europe by the tripartite body of the EU states that countries with a higher integration of school and work, through apprenticeship programmes or through more young people effectively combining school and early labour market experiences, display a smoother and quicker transition from school to work.
According to Eurostat, the best school-to-work transitions are the 'Nordic' and the 'Apprenticeship' (found in Austria and Germany) models. At the other end of the scale, the 'Eastern European' and 'Mediterranean' models have difficult and problematic transitions. These models are associated with a later age of leaving home, and a slower and later transition to independence and autonomy.
In the summer of 2013, unemployment for those aged 15-24 rose to over 23% in the 28 EU member states. Despite a huge variation in unemployment figures, 18 countries recorded their highest levels of youth unemployment since the onset of the crisis.
With 15.9% of the overall population aged 15-29 being NEETs (not in employment, education or training), the loss to European economies is estimated at €162 billion, an increase of around €10 billion since 2011.
The study also reveals that during the crisis, the ability of young people to stay in employment has worsened, with negative consequences for their chances of gaining permanent employment.
Young people on temporary contracts, moreover, had a lower chance of remaining employed, with less than a quarter succeeding in getting a permanent contract.
EU heads of states agreed in February 2013 to launch a €6-billion Youth Employment Initiative, with the aim of making it fully operational by 1 January 2014.
At a summit in June 2013, they agreed to disburse about €8 billion – more than the €6 billion originally earmarked in February – to fight youth joblessness, with the bulk available over a two-year period starting in 2014 and the remainder becoming available over the full seven years of the next EU budget.
A Youth Guarantee scheme, introduced by each EU country according to its individual need, will apply to young people who are out of work for more than four months. It aims to give them a real chance to further their education, or get a job, apprenticeship or traineeship. The EU has a 2020 target of 75% employment for the working-age population (20-64 years).

Police have arrested one Harrington man and are looking for another
Troopers with the Delaware State Police have arrested a suspect in connection with counterfeit bills passed during the Delaware State Fair.
Delaware State Police spokeswoman Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe said a second person remains at large.
The case began at about 10 p.m. Friday, July 27 at about 10:00 p.m. when troopers at the fair were told about two people using fake money to buy beverages and food.
Troopers used a description of the two to track down 19-year-old Jerome Norton-Roberts of Harrington. A search turned up about 26 phony $100 bills.
The second suspect has been identified as Reggie Marshall, 17, also of Harrington, Jaffe said.
Norton-Roberts is charged with first-degree forgery of money, stamps, securities or other valuables issued by the government), theft by false pretense under $1500, and conspiracy.
A warrant for Marshall's arrest on the same charges has been issued, Jaffe added.
Norton-Roberts was arraigned before a Justice of the Peace magistrate and then released on a $2,000 unsecured bond.
This case remains under investigation and anyone with information in as to the whereabouts of Reggie Marshall is asked to contact Troop 3, Det. Ryan, at 302-697-4454.
Information also may be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 800-TIP-3333, via the Internet at delawarecrimstoppersweb.com, or by sending a text to 274637 (CRIMES), starting the message with the keyword "DSP."

have just been reminded, when you have a cardiovascular Cardiolite stress test. It's an interesting four-hour experience. How I managed on the treadmill also seems interesting.
I get this test every couple of years because of that 1989 cardiac arrest that left a permanent scar on my heart, somewhat impairing its operation, pumping less than a normal amount of blood with each stroke.
Check in at the Ross Memorial Hospital. Wait for the first step, in which an attendant injects the Cardiolite into my veins. Back to the waiting room while this tracer makes its progress through my miles of blood vessels. I put the wait to good use. Stretching out my legs, folding my hands in my lap, I lean back with my head against the wall, and have a little sleep. A powernap. I must be an inspiration. When I awake, I see a couple of other guys, younger than I, sleeping soundly. Is powernapping contagious?
