Tokyo Disney ResortPosted: May 8, 2017 Filed under: Travel Leave a comment
A very important part of our Japan trip was visiting the Tokyo Disney Resort, and Tokyo DisneySea in particular. In our many years of Disney Parks fandom, we have read and heard so much about this park, and after seeing it, we can definitely say that some of the best work Walt Disney Imagineering has ever done lies within DisneySea.
So much of the park is about exploring on foot, rather than boarding ride vehicles. At Explorer's Landing, there is so much to discover inside the fortress, as well as on the sailing ship docked outside.
We dined at Magellan's Restaurant, which is part of the experience of Explorer's Landing. In the center of the restaurant is this large globe that subtly rotates while diners enjoy their meal.
The fortress was built by the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, which is an organization that Imagineering has woven into many stories throughout the Disney Parks.
The story of the S.E.A. continues at Hotel Hightower, where a member of the organization has had a strange mishap with an elevator…
The scope of DisneySea is unimaginable. There is even an entire ocean liner inside of the park. We boarded the ship and had a drink at The Teddy Roosevelt Lounge.
We had so many fun treats at the parks, but the little green dumplings filled with mochi were definitely the cutest.
Mysterious Island is the base of Captain Nemo, and the home port of the Nautilus. It shares similarities with Discoveryland in Disneyland Paris, but it is much more extensive and provides a cohesive story.
James' favorite ride in the park is Journey to the Center of the Earth, which he puts right up there with the Disneyland mountains.
Taking a relaxing gondola cruise through Mediterranean Harbor is a good way to rest your feet after so many great walkthrough attractions.
Casbah Food Court has many hidden away spots to escape the crowds.
Chandu the tiger is from my favorite attraction in the park, Sinbad's Storybook Voyage. Its tone lies somewhere between it's a small world and traditional dark rides. As soon as I saw this little plush I knew I had to bring him back home with me.
We stayed at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, which is right outside the gate of Tokyo Disneyland, similar to the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris.
Of all the troubled Tomorrowlands that we have visited, the Tokyo Disneyland version is the only one that we wouldn't consider broken. It feels like it still has an identity and is not just a messy stylistic mashup.
James had looked at so many photos of this spot in Tomorrowland while working on various science fiction projects, and he was so excited to finally be there in person.
The exit for Star Tours that leads into the top level of Pan Galactic Pizza Port really feels like you're in a spaceport and gives this Tomorrowland a sense of place.
Our favorite attraction in Tokyo Disneyland is Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek. This was one of two attractions in the park that were highly recommended, but sadly the other, Pooh's Hunny Hunt was closed.
The whimsy of the exterior of It's a Small World flows seamlessly into Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall.
There are adorable homes for all sizes of critters in Grandma Sara's Kitchen.
Visiting a new Disney park is such a thrill, and it's always surreal to see slight variations on familiar attractions. Disneyland, USA will always be our favorite park, but Tokyo DisneySea certainly gives it a run for its money.

Creative Writing Tips for College Students
Writing is an unavoidable task for everyone, be it necessary for college, junior school, or in a working environment. This means that we all should have some writing skills at our finger tips. However, college creative writing in in one way or another, differs from writing in high school. One key feature of college creative essay writing is the use of an argument, which should be set out in a systematic manner. This argument includes a claim, evidence supporting or refuting the claim, and limits to your claim.
To have a paper that is flowing and has depth, the first step should be to choose a topic that one is well informed about, and one that is easy to research. This saves one the agony of running out of material to write about. With a topic at hand, the next step is to plan the paper. This means that you write down your ideas as they come to mind, in order to avoid forgetting any of them….

CCT - July colours
Hello lovely friends and followers.
Even in the midst of wonderful summer we are trying to persuade you to make Christmas Cards. You have until the 5th August to join in with our rainbow colour challenge, as we have an extra Saturday in the month.
I've used Inky Doodles stamps here for the stockings, stars and holly. I coloured the stockings in the same obsessive manner using rainbow colours in order and adding detail to the next stocking with the same colour. I added coloured stars in order too and highlights with a silver gel pen.
The borders and black lines are snippets so I'm hopping over to Pixie's Snippets Playground to have a swing and play hop scotch.
Thanks for visiting and Enjoy The Day. x

I want to continue my loop when in one of the iterations a task fails. It should continue with the next iteration/file. I tried changing the task properties FailParentOnFailure and MaximumErrorCount, but nothing seems to work.
|Task fails, so loop fails
There are a couple of solutions. You could set the MaximumErrorCount to a higher number on the parent container (not on the task that fails). With FailParentOnFailure property on the failing task you can override that setting and fail the parent on the first error.
The easiest/stable solution is to use an empty OnError event handler on the failing task with the system variable Propagate set to false.
1) Empty event handler
Go to the event handlers tab. Select (1) the failing task as Executable and (2) OnError as the event handler. Next (3) click on the link in the middle of the page to create the event handler: Click here to create an 'OnError' event handler for executable 'DFT - Stage files'.
|Create empty event handler
2) System variable propagate
Open the variable pane in the event handler. Click on (1) the Variable Grid Options button. Check (2) the radio button "Show system variables". Search for the Propagate variable and set (3) it to false.
|System variable Propagate
|Show system variables for SSIS 2008
3) Annotation
An empty event handler could confuse other developers. Adding a simple annotation could solve that.
|Add an annotation
4) The result
Now an error in the Data Flow Task won't fail the Foreach Loop Container. This solution works with all containers (Sequence, For Loop, Foreach Loop and package).
Note: this solution wont work with parent child packages. Propagate can't be disabled from a child package to a parent package. This is by design according Microsoft. Here is a workaround for that.

Hey guys,
I tried to post a few pics and it wouldn't let me. It stated that there was a problem with the pic not being the correct format or the file size was too big. I checked the picture properties and they are as follows: Format: JPEG. Size: 70KB
Isn't that considered acceptable? I've got some cool shots I'd like to share.
Any help will definitely be appreciated. Thanks!

In an interesting marriage of wine and design, Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid has designed a bespoke wine bottle for Austrian producer Leo Hillinger. The limited-edition was created by the architect for Hillinger's Icon Hill 2009, of which just 999 bottles were made.
Known for her curvaceous structures, the bottle's elongated form is inspired by the shape of a drop of wine. "A continuous spatial curve was projected onto the bottle's surface, defining areas for the concave indentation and suggesting the waves created when droplets break a liquid's surface," Hadid said on her website.
The concave indentation and the bottle's surface have the same curvature, enabling a set of bottles to interlock. A dimple in the base meanwhile, provides a thumb hold for pouring. Both the bottle and its packaging seem to take cues from the world of fragrance.
While this is Hadid's first wine bottle design, it's not her wine world debut – in 2006 she completed a five-year design project for a wine shop and tasting room for renowned Rioja producer López de Heredia. Last year, Hadid was made a Dame for her services to architecture.

Sudan and South Sudan agreed on September 27, 2012 on many issues, one of which was oil. The two sides at the moment are closer to disagreement and a breakdown as Khartoum insists that the security for South Kordofan and Blue Nile must go hand in hand with the permission to let the oil from South Sudan to the market through their country.
The two ministers of the two countries met in Juba last week (10.11.2012) and have reached nowhere. Khartoum was/is wrong, and Juba was/right.
As things stand, there is not much desire to infuse and confuse things when the agreement was crystal clear on security and oil. Therefore Khartoum should re-examine its decision and let the oil companies start pumping oil to the outside world.
The delay isn't wise and will not be in the interest of the two countries. The two leaders of Sudan and South Sudan were commended for their courage and determination to peace and harmony. President Omar Al Bashir would be received in Juba with pomp and dances if ever the well-publicized and politicized visit will take place. President Al Bashir is respected here and shall continue to enjoy being respected because of his Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) with our hero Dr. John Garang de Mabior. No Northern politician has that gut like that of Gen. Omar Hassan Ahmed Al Bashir.
The current standoff over oil is a making of his hawks and radicals whose agenda then and now is to bring down the government in Juba. They are joined by Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin of the Democratic Change. Dr. Ajawin's invisible hand can't go unnoticed. He's a sworn enemy of the people of this republic and one of his card is deny Juba the hard currency so to satiate his egoism.
He went to the Arabs and European countries preaching hate that there is no leadership in the country and that hence he should be considered as an alternative. If he could then throw parties when Southern Army (SPLA) lost a garrison to the Northern army, what would prevent him for doing the same today?
We must rally as people of South Sudan behind our president and stop traitors from undoing our gains. We will not bow down to Khartoum's moves. It is better we die in dignity than return to the wilderness under Khartoum. We are better off without food on our tables.
Dr. Lam must not deceive himself that our people will surrender to the North again. It is only here that we have a weak leader who is led, we couldn't have given away Panthou, Hofra Al Nahas, Kafi Kingi, Warawar/Mile 14 and Abyei.
In light of the situation before our country, our leadership must gather pace and do the following urgent measures. The threat against oil production from the Sudan is real and must not be ignored. Signs are on the wall that Khartoum will not accept or honor its bargaining side of the oil agreement and thus anytime they might either confiscate or block the oil from flowing.
Our government must go back to the drawing board and if it needs another Addis Ababa talk so be it. Things will not be fair unless there is robust mechanism to be put in place now.
Our government must not be seen as desperate and helpless, after all, Dr. Marial Awou (state minister of finance) and Central Bank Governor, Cornelio Koryom, have assured the world of no liquidity issue. The government can't be seen as helpless under its rich land.
Mr. President as a matter of urgency should reduce his government and go for a lean and efficient government. Disband the Council of States, remove the Anti-Corruption and Human Rights Commissions. Aggressively levy taxes especially on hotels and housing, while deploying Mobile Refineries to reduce and subsidize consumption goods. Urgent times require drastic actions.
Nothing will flow to the mouth of an African from the West or China unless it costs sweat and blood. Free things aren't indeed free. The aid and assistance to the continent are nothing but baits by the rich and powerful to advance their interests. South Sudan must not catch the whims of the so-called developed world. We must be ourselves, work hard and stand to fight for our own survival.
The North can't intimidate our people; we have every right to say it emphatically that it is not anymore.

It may be too slow but the policy environment around climate change is moving. Recently in NSW we have seen a mine proposal refused because of its impact on climate change and the release of a report calling for the development of a plan for the Hunter Valley to transition away from coal. In the USA calls for a Green New Deal have been released. But while all this grinds along, insects around the world are disappearing fast.

In the movies and the stories and the fantasies, if you order up a stranger off the internet for perverted sex, and meet for perverted sex, then the story is about perverted sex. Predictably, and sometimes boringly, so.
What I love about sex blogging is that down here on earth in real life, sometimes other stuff happens too, which makes for a more varied and interesting narrative.
For instance, when Bitchy Jones whistled up a submissive feller off the internet so she could do mean stuff to him, there was indeed some perverted sex, but not without a hitch you'll never see in a dirty movie:
Just before Jack was due to arrive one of my next door neighbours came and told me they had seen my cat limping in the street. I went out to look for cat but there was no sign. I called Pan in a panic. I told him to turn around and come home so he could care for cat. It started to rain. I was standing in the street looking for the cat when Jack arrived.
Jack was all, 'Hey are you standing in the street waiting for me?' And also all, 'Hey, here I am. I have arrived for perverted sex.'
And I was all, 'No. Perverted sex is canceled. We must find lost injured cat ZOMGZ!'
We found the cat. (Sorry if that stressed you – I probably should have warned at the top for mild cat peril.) I called Pan and told him I thought the cat would be okay until morning and that he should not come home after all.
Then Jack cooked. I kissed him quite a lot – endangering cooking. We did some painful things too. (Painful for him.) Some naked things. (Naked for him.) Some kneeling things. (Kneeling… (oh, get with it.))
I don't know if his tongue stud felt so very different on my cunt – but on my nipples it was incredible. Bliss of death.

Aya Ogawa
Resident Playwright2017 -- 2024
Aya Ogawa is a Tokyo-born, Brooklyn-based playwright, director, and translator for the theater. She challenges traditional notions of the American aesthetic and identity by creating plays infused with a multiplicity of perspectives and languages, and by incorporating influences from outside the U.S. - of style, form, and content. She wrote and directed oph3lia at HERE (hailed by The New York Times as "great theater"); Journey to the Ocean, commissioned by The Foundry Theatre; and Ludic Proxy, commissioned by The Play Company, which the NY Theatre Review described as "enchanting and poetic, deeply in tune with the spirit of many different cultures." She has translated numerous Japanese plays into English, including works by Toshiki Okada, Yudai Kamisato, Takeshi Kawamura, Yoji Sakate, and Satoko Ichihara, among others. Her translations have been described as "fluid and delicious" by American Theatre Magazine, published by Samuel French among many others, and produced in the U.S. and U.K.
She is a 2017-2019 Artist in Residence at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange (BAX) and Usual Suspect at NYTW.

Ten Years Ago: Nearly 60 years after being captured by Japanese forces at the beginning of World War II and held as a prisoner of war for four years, longtime La Cañada resident Garth Dunn was awarded the Purple Heart during a special ceremony held at the Federal Building in Westwood. Dunn credited his U.S. Marine Corps training for his survival.
Twenty Years Ago: With California in its fourth consecutive year of drought, La Cañadans were told they faced a mandatory cut in water usage beginning Feb. 1, 1991.
Thirty Years Ago: Between 800 and 1,000 local residences in neighborhoods near Jessen Drive found themselves without power early one Saturday morning in January 1980 after vandals broke open a locked box mounted on a utility pole. The vandals flipped a switch that caused an explosion and a small grass fire at the base of the power pole.

This is substantially better than ninety per cent of the British gangster pictures shown on the TV station London Live, that repository of films that can't get screenings anywhere else. It's written and directed with flair by Andy Bloom and Mark Abraham respectively; and although, as another reviewer has pointed out, it owes a debt to Tarantino, it's no slavish imitation. Joe Cole is convincing as a heroin addict required to crack open a safe at a farmhouse where rival gangsters are soon at each other's throats. Dialogue is to the point and unaffected and it's no surprise that, despite their inexperience, Bloom and Abraham were able to secure a distinguished cast including Peter Bowles and Alison Steadman in cameos. Film doesn't outstay its welcome but would have been even more effective without the scenes of Cole talking to the ghost of his grandfather, a nothing part for the ubiquitous Phil Davis. But all in all a commendable effort that makes us look forward to whatever these new film-makers may try next.

What: Shares of Great Panther Silver (NYSEMKT:GPL), a silver mining and exploration company with properties located in Mexico, plunged as much as 19% during Thursday's trading session after the company announced an increase to a previously announced financing deal.
So what: Shortly after market close on Wednesday, Great Panther Silver announced bought deal financing worth $20 million. Under the terms of the deal, 12.5 million shares of Great Panther common stock were being sold at $1.60 per share (keep in mind that shares of Great Panther closed at $1.86 on Wednesday). Additionally, each share sold would come with one-half of common share purchase warrant.
However, just five hours after the initial bought deal financing was announced, Great Panther issued a second press release detailed that the offering had been increased to 16.25 million shares at $1.60, worth $26 million. Each common share would still come with one-half of common share purchase warrant, which is executable at $2.25 per share for a period of 18 months following the offering.
In layman's terms, Great Panther Silver arranged a way to get capital to further its mine development, but it'll wind up diluting existing shareholders in the process.
Now what: Arguably the biggest headache for Great Panther Silver shareholders are the warrants, which can be executed at $2.25. In effect, these warrants could stymie any upside in Great Panther Silver stock over the near term if warrant holders choose to execute.
On the bright side, Great Panther Silver has other catalysts working in its favor. For example, silver spot prices have been steadily rising, and the lustrous metal doesn't look as if it'll pare a big chunk of its gains anytime soon. Demand for silver has been increasing from an investment perspective, as well as from the solar industry. Plus, a low-yield environment in developed countries around the globe is coercing investors to dive into precious metals as a potentially more attractive store of value than bonds.
Aside from higher silver prices, we've also observed Great Panther making strides at cutting its production costs. During the first quarter, Great Panther managed to lower its all-in sustaining costs by 36% to $9.25 per payable ounce, all while increasing its silver equivalent production by 2%. Although it reported a net loss of $4.5 million in Q1, adverse effects from currency translation were mostly to blame. The company's underlying business is improving, even if shareholders took one on the chin today.
While it's probably wise to temper your near-term expectations, and smart to expect the volatility surrounding Great Panther to continue, it's a silver miner that investors savvy in precious metals might want to consider looking into.

Stephanie changed my life in one day. I am a better person, both personally and professionally, because of Stephanie. For that I will ever be thankful.
I remember well the day Stephanie visited my office. I had stacks of books and papers on every horizontal surface, including some of the floor. Oblivious to the disorganization of my office, I felt that I was functioning at a high level, but was frustrated that I was always preparing for everything at the last minute. I justified my procrastination by telling myself that I "function better under pressure." I didn't really believe that I needed much help, but Stephanie came highly recommended by a friend, and I felt she was worth a try. I was confident that the professional angst and anxiety I felt was just part of my job and that there was nothing she could do to relieve the pressures I felt.
I was wrong. Stephanie changed my life in one day. She started our visit with a series of questions that made me reflect upon my modus operandi. Through gentle, but firm inquiry she helped me realize how the cluttered look of my office mirrored the near-chaotic process with which I tackled every day activities. She listened, provided encouragement, prodded for understanding, and provided helpful and pertinent strategies that are still working today. One of the most important things she did was invite my administrative assistant to be a part of the improvement process and helped us realize how much more effective we could be if we worked as a team.
Stephanie continued working with us through the day and beyond business hours, consistently showing patience and support. When she left my office the stacks were gone, operational processes were outlined, and a spirit of productivity was in place.
Stephanie's visit occurred five years ago. I am proud to say that my office remains stack free, my assistant and I now work together in a very effective manner, and I plan for most activities at least a week in advance. I still stumble every once in a while, but it is during these times that I remember her gentle, but firm question, "Do you really need to do it this way?" My assistant now quotes Stephanie's wisdom when she sees me allowing myself to return to "old" ways.
I have called upon Stephanie on other occasions since her original visit.
Most recently I asked her to facilitate a difficult situation that needed someone with an understanding of group dynamics and a familiarity with web-based design.
I was involved with a statewide group who was desiring a new website. A very knowledgeable and enthusiastic individual from the group had assured everyone that he would create an RFP and facilitate the awarding of a contract for the development of the website. Unfortunately time constraints did not allow him do give the project due diligence, a fact that everyone but him realized.
I asked Stephanie to consider taking on the challenge of creating the RFP, a task which now involved potential hurt feelings in addition to the technical and distance challenges that already existed (group members were spread across the state). To my relief, she agreed to the take on the endeavor.
In typical Stephanie-fashion, she drew the group together, in this case using virtual meeting software, and queried the participants about the qualities and capabilities they desired in a website. Consistently and patiently directing the participants' attention to the "what" rather than the "how" of website design, Stephanie was able to describe the desired product and develop a list of required components. Having deciphered the information she needed, Stephanie then developed an RFP that was distributed across Illinois. The application process went very smoothly and the organization's website will go "live" before the end of this year.
As is very evident in the text above, I hold Stephanie in very high regard. I respect her strong sense of pro-activity and purpose. I admire her ability to understand and work with people. I am amazed by the professional network she has built. And I appreciate her direct and forthright approach. I am a better person, both personally and professionally, because of Stephanie. For that I will ever be thankful.

The integrated high speed line is an innovative packaging equipment for sorting rows of products and feeding.
It combines 3 sections: Selecta stations, Flowfeed and packaging machine. The total system is managed by advanced electronics checking and automatically adjusting packaging speed, in accordance with products flow from the process line.
More 'Selecta Lines" can be integrated to form a system which satisfies the highest production requirements.
The same operating concept is applicable to two or more lines integrated each other, equally dividing production between them.
If one machine stops, production will be conveyed onto the remaining machine(s) which will progressively absorb the total production.
The initial excess products will be transferred onto an over-flow belt.

Whale hunting has been badly mismanaged by humans who have hunted many species to near extinction. It is good that there's a ban on hunting blue and other endangered whales and that more responsibility is now shown for managing whale numbers. The environmental movement should receive their due credit for their role in this. "To hunt a species to extinction is illogical." - Spock.
But a total whaling ban takes it too far. Activism becomes dogma and religion when whaling is banned at all costs including to the whales themselves. The Wiki page on whaling explains that a lot of people support a ban on whaling because they believe it is immoral regardless of whether populations can support hunting. I disagree.
The Japanese and Norwegians wish to hunt minke whale. That's a medium size whale with a healthy population that competes with the endangered blue whale for food resources. If the population can support hunting let them be hunted.
Presently whaling for meat is supposed to be illegal. But a sort of loophole exists where a limited hunt for a few hundred minke whales each year takes place under the guise of scientific research.
Japan whaling:
We know it's a farce because if it was really for scientific research the meat wouldn't be allowed to be sold for human consumption. Instead of continuing the charade let's let it take place above board rather than pretend it is for science. By having everything out in the open it might actually lead to more honest reporting of hunting and better management.
Blue whales were hunted from 150,000 in number to just a few hundred before the ban. At the same time the smaller minke whales weren't as popular for hunters and their numbers ballooned to 10 times what they were before blue whales were hunted. Current estimates for minke whale population is about 1.5 million individuals. Minke whales compete with blue whales for the food krill. By allowing whale hunting again it could help to bring back the blue whales.
There's nothing wrong with humans managing natural populations of animals. It is not unnatural for humans to kill or cull animals. Humans have been wiping out species and managing wild populations for millennia. Some of the megafauna that humans wiped out could be very destructive to people and property if they were still around today. From the point of view of the day-to-day living of humans the extinction of many of these species is not at all unwelcome.
Environmentalists such as the Pew Environment Group try to spin the story of the overabundance of minke whales not impacting on the recovery of blue whale species. Environmentalists don't really care about the environment but the feel good factor and imposing their ideological agenda. Wind mills are a good example.
They kill birds and are wasteful of resources and don't even provide reliable power. The ban of minke whaling is another example. Large whales like the blue whale are negatively impacted by the ban on commercial minke whaling. But it's not about the logical management of whale populations to enviro-activists but imposing the idea that all whaling is morally wrong regardless of the actual impact to the various whales and the environment. It's a matter of ideology, not the environment.
The latest twist from the global warming/climate change/save the whales crew is that whale poo is crucial to sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Whale poop is vital to ocean's carbon cycle
And modern AGW theory is that CO2 is a danger so we need to be scared if CO2 goes up. But nature takes care of how much CO2 is in air. Our contributions are puny. We do need life to manage the carbon cycle and whales play their part. But so does everything. It is reasonable to extract some resources.
In high school I was indoctrinated to believe that the ecosystem was a fragile thing and that if one imbalance is brought in or one species goes extinct the whole thing falls apart. Now that I've been able to unindoctrinate myself I realise that the ecosystem is not fragile but that life is actually the most robust thing going on this planet. Five major extinctions and it's still here going as strong as ever. Maybe not in quite the same form, but in some form. Who's to say what the correct form of life is and what isn't? Who's to say what the right temperature is? Who's to say what the right level of CO2 is? We don't know.
When one species dies others moves in to fill the gap. And new species evolve rapidly to fill the niche in the ecosystem vacated by the last one. Let's face it most species are redundant. Take birds. If I was to take a half hour walk in my neighbourhood I could probably count 20 species of birds. A lot of them are similar shapes and sizes.
Magpies: they swoop you and I don't really care for them that much:
Most of the species that ever existed are gone and it's a good thing. Small creatures like humans would not have been able to exist if the dinosaurs hadn't have gone extinct. Hooray for dinosaur extinction! Species extinction allows for other animals to evolve in their place.
I love life on planet Earth and it would be nice if the human population didn't encroach so much on natural habitats. I don't want to see species die, except the Australian magpie which is my cursed enemy. Seriously though, who wouldn't want the fun of a magpie swoop? It's part of being Australian. But, I'm not going to freak if some of these species go extinct either.
So, I think the hunt for whales should be based on science, not morals which change from person to person based on their ideology. Whales are no more or less special than other meat we eat. If minke whale numbers can support a hunt then let us hunt, eat and be merry.
I think some of the dancing and customs and beliefs of various people around the world are weird. I think eating whale meat is weird. Yet I don't feel the need to impose my morals, customs or beliefs on others. It would be a very boring world if everyone was like me.
P.S. I cringe when I hear Prime Minister Kevin Rudd threatening the Japanese with taking them to court over whaling. The Japanese have come a long way in their attitude to whaling. They'll never give it up but this isn't the 1800's any more Kev. Let's be pragmatic and flexible. What do you care about the whales anyway? Another populist move from the populist PM.

Juvéderm® is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds- the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth aka smile lines or parentheses). Juvederm is also used in the lips, cheeks, and other areas of the face. Come in for a consultation to see where Juvederm would be appropriate for you.
Topical numbing cream is applied to your skin prior to injections, as well as, a local anesthetic that is mixed in with the Juvederm for a more comfortable treatment.
There is virtually no downtime with Juvederm, however with any injection there is always a risk of some bruising and swelling immediately after the treatment.
Results from your treatment with Juvederm can be seen immediately and can last up to one year.
Juvéderm® injectable gel is hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin.

One-piece entrelac cube and Helen, originally uploaded by fuzzyjay.
I have achieved minimalism! One zig-zag (or stair-step, really) piece of knitting that is joined to itself in 3 different ways:
1. Entrelac joins (pick up stitches from side edge, join side edge to live stitches.)
2. Sliding-loop join from Rick Mondragon.
3. Grafting.
So, you can knit a cube with only one piece and with no seams… well, no sewn seams. Grafting is sewing, I guess, but it's pretty flexible.

Once again Christmas has come and gone and I am so excited that my hubby hit the nail on the head with the gifts (a few emails with links from Santa's helper helped a little bit). I got a Xron laminator/sticker maker/magnet maker...the big one! He got a sweet deal on Amazon. Can't wait to use it. Also upgraded the hair straightener, and got some hefty snow boots! But the best gift (if you haven't already peaked) drum roll please....
THE AWESOME pencil sharpener! AND it's red!!!! Yep I'm a teacher.
Something else to share with you all that I ran across today...FREE labels! Yep FREE! I love labels, I usually make my own so they match everything, but you can't pass up free. I'm not sure if you can change the colors in these...maybe you can, I just didn't try YET.
I LOVE BHG magazines, I can get so many ideas from there. But I think I prefer the actual magazine, for some reason the web page seems a little overwhelming to me...between the ads and all the different links, and click here to get here then go here. Anyway I'll let you decide, but enjoy the labels...I know I will.

Newbie here!
I inherited a large tin of buttons from my grandmother that date back to at least the 1950's. In with the buttons was an interesting piece of costume jewelry. I have no idea what it is or what was it's use. (The buttons were equally interesting!)
It is a rectangluar pentagon shaped "thing" with two glass stones on either side and textures areas that give the impression of rhinestones. It has a bar running across the back and a small loop on the bottom (at least that is my guess as to what is the top and what is the bottom) where something can be attached. The back is marked 929-3. It measures approximately 1 1/8" tall and 1 1/8" wide.
I know it is not silver but cannot determine the metal. I am thinking the 929-3 might have something to do with the metal.
I searched the Internet for hours trying to determine what this is but had no luck. Grandmom is long gone so asking her is out of the question. Even a search of 929-3 did not result in anything even remotely relate to jewelry.
I attached some photos but they do not give it justice. It is whiter and brighter than the photos.
I would appreciate any help in solving this mystery.

It's white pot metal.
THANK YOU! I thought that I signed up for e-mail alerts when someone replied but I never got one. I decided to look around and saw that I had a reply - I was thrilled.
Now that you told me what it is and included the photo examplt, it makes sense! For the life of me I could not imagine why there was a bar in the back and a place to attach someting on the bottom. I might have the other half but this part was found in a large tin of buttons all by itself. I have a box full of her other sewing stuff, half-finished tattings, hand written directions and a lovely sewing cabinet full of thread, needles and miscellaneous sewing items. This will keep me busy trying to figure out what everything else is and what it does/did!
As a note, I also thought that there had been rhinestones but it is actually pot metal (now that I know what material it is!) "bumps". They are raised and give off the same glow as a rhinestone but there are no holes. (I needed the magnifying glass and my regular glasses to confirm that!)
I sincerely appreciate your time and reply. It was a nice "welcome" to the group and to IAntiques.
Thanks again. Have a happy and safe New Year.
Hi Lucy, You're welcome. It sounds like you have a lot of fun sewing items to look through. I love these things.
Happy New Year! Donna

PHP Tutorial: Learn About PHP Function Syntax and its Parameters
In this PHP Tutorial, I'll explain some of the basics about PHP function Syntax (or I say syntax of PHP function), The Knowledge of which one should have in understanding it without any confusion. My Purpose of writing this article is to create a dedicated page on this topic, so, I could send visitors (Who are seeking this information) from my other PHP articles (Which are covering various segments of this programming language). Here, Below is the List of contents with anchor links pointing to various sections of this article, you can click on it to directly jump.
What is Function Syntax ?
Syntax of any function is just only a visual representation of it, which shows us,
- What type (Data Type) of input are accepted as parameter values in corresponding function,
- What type (Data Type) of output will be returned,
- How many parameters are required at minimum by corresponding function,
- How many Optional Parameters are supported by function,
- What Kind of data each parameter should have in order to get relavance results.
Syntax Example of PHP Function
Here, Below is the Syntax of one well know PHP Core function, which simplifies our work of sending email from our scripts, If not blocked by webhost.
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ] ] );
Now, I will write other details while considering this function in Mind.
Understanding the Keyword used before Function Name
The Keyword "bool" used before function name tells us about the datatype of output returned by above function. It is Just only an identifier and is not required while working with actual function.
PHP supports eight primitive Data types, which are categorized into 4 types, See below.
Scalar Data Types
- boolean,
- integer,
- float (floating-point number, aka double),
- string,
Compound Types :
- Array,
- Object,
Special Types :
- resource,
Psudo-Types :
- mixed,
- number,
- callback.
Understanding the Keyword used before Parameter Names
The Keyword "string" used before each parameter in function argument list are also identifiers and are not required while working with an actual function. The identifiers used before each parameter may or may not be same. This Keywords tells use about the datatype of each parameter value (Separately) that will be accepted by above function.
Understanding the Usage of Square Brackets.
Parameters specified in square brackets are optional/additional parameters (Arguments), which are supported by above function. These are used to extend capabilities of function. You can either supply values for them or not as per your needs.
Still Have Questions ???
If you have queries regarding this topic or any section of this article, then, You should post it in comments section below. I'll try my best to solve it but don't blame my English grammar (I'm still in learning phase).

SKK Mobile Lynx, Octa-core with 13MP Camera and Anti-Theft App Unveiled
A couple days ago SKK Mobile via their Facebook account teased an upcoming smartphone offering that was to bear the name "Lynx", it was just a photo and nothing more. Today SKK has officially unveiled the new Android Kitkat-powered device they are about to release this month. Just like the teaser suggested this is called SKK Mobile Lynx.
The phone features a 5-inch HD IPS display, an octa-core processor which is most likely from MediaTek, a 13MP rear camera all packed in with autofocus and LED flash. Aside from the 720p display, back camera and processor there are other features this one has that cannot be easily found in competition.
SKK Mobile said the Lynx will be equipped with an Anti-Theft app which will come pre-installed with the device. Is it the same TARA app from MyPhone or a completely different home-grown security app? We don't know yet but at least that's a thing here. USB OTG is supported by this smartphone and that is a nice thing to have. Plus there is going to be a Power-Saving Management tool in the device, whatever that is I think it will be useful to maximize the battery life.
SKK Mobile Lynx specs:
- 5" HD IPS display
- 1280 x 720 resolution
- 1.4GHz octa-core processor
- 8GB internal storage
- Supports microSD card up to 64GB
- 13MP rear camera with autofocus and LED Flash

As with the increased viewership enjoyed by cable TV's CNN during the Gulf War, the market's losses were online publications' gain-elevating traffic, credibility and advertiser interest. Whether those gains will stick when the market stabilizes remains to be seen.
TheStreet.com, a paid, online-only subscription service founded by money manager/columnist James J. Cramer and Martin Peretz, chairman and editor in chief of The New Republic, added 5,000 new subscribers. That raised its base to 15,000. Traffic soared 300% above average to 2 million hits per day, according to Chief Operating Officer Brendan Amyot.
"Yahoo! Financial has been pointing to our site [since the market turmoil began] and we've picked up a deluge of referrals-25,000 in one day," he said.
The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, also a subscriber-based Web service, had several of its biggest days of the year for signing up new subscribers; it claimed its total subscriber count is approaching 150,000. Traffic was running 30% to 40% above normal, said Editor Neil Budde, reaching a level the online service didn't expect to hit for another two or three months based on past growth patterns.
"People no longer entrust the information they get, especially financial, to a television programmer," said Jonathan Fram, Bloomberg L.P. general manager of new media. "Personalized news is not a revolution. It's not in the future. It is simply today."
Other online financial pubs' boons include:
SmartMoney Interactive saw a 60% increase in traffic over normal usage. The usual staff of 25 was beefed up by SmartMoney magazine staffers, who pitched in to produce dozens of news stories throughout the week.
Traffic to Bloomberg's free Web site doubled over average levels. An area of the site that allows subscribers to track their personal portfolios also saw traffic double.
nMoney's Money.com free Web site and fledgling Money.com Plus premium site claimed its traffic levels also doubled as the market went on its roller-coaster ride.
"What this shows for us is brands matter," said Brett Zickerman, new media director at Money. "In a panic situation like this, people want to go to a place they trust."
Advertisers also took notice. SmartMoney Interactive said several advertisers called to find out when their ads would be running during last week's activity. Other sites said their salespeople fielded a higher than usual number of calls from potential advertisers.
"I'm very sure that current advertisers are getting exciting responses with the heightened viewership," said SmartMoney President-CEO Steve Swartz. "It's a very exciting time and kind of justifies why we're involved online."
Although the increased traffic led to slowdowns at some sites, most said they were able to handle the added burden.
"I'd be disingenuous if I said everything went perfectly fine, but I think there were only a couple of times when it was slower than I would have liked," said

Analytic philosophy is a rather difficult subject for most people, especially since (in the United States anyway) their first introduction to it isn't until college. I realize I've not done much on this site to ameliorate that: my summaries presuppose a certain basic understanding of the subject at hand, and I haven't even attempted to write any 'here is what philosophy is all about' articles. In this post I'll detail a series of steps that will ensure understanding and, in time, enjoyment (the enjoyment doesn't necessarily come straight away if the confusion is too great to begin with, but you'd better believe it comes in time!).
The steps are really rather basic:
1. Get a hold of top-notch introductory texts for each sub-field of philosophy and read them. I think it makes sense to read introductions for the whole lot of sub-fields rather than an overly broad, 'what is philosophy' text because I think seeing philosophy in action is the best way to understand it rather than having someone else tell you what it's all about. Here are my top choices for each sub-field (contact me if you'd like assistance, uh, 'getting a hold of' digital copies of these texts):
- Problems of Knowledge: A Critical Introduction to Epistemology by Michael Williams
- An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy) by Noah Lemos
- The Fundamentals of Ethics by Russ-Shafer Landau
- An Introduction to Metaphysics (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy) by John Carrol and Ned Markosian
- A Survey of Metaphysics by E.J. Lowe
Philosophy of Biology
- Philosophy of Biology: A Contemporary Introduction by Alex Rosenberg and Daniel McShea
Philosophy of Cognitive Science
- Philosophy of Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction by Jose Bermudez
- Mindware: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Cognitive Science by Andy Clark
Philosophy of Language
- Philosophy of Language: A Contemporary Introduction by William Lycan
Philosophy of Logic
- You'll almost certainly need a course in symbolic logic to genuinely grasp this stuff.
- Logic and Philosophy: A Modern Introduction by Alan Hausman et al.
Philosophy of Mathematics
- This tends to be a rarified subject concerned primarily with technical problems within mathematics and thus isn't of concern for most of us. Issues pertaining to more general philosophical concerns — e.g., the ontological status of numbers — are already discussed in other sub-fields.
Philosophy of Mind
- Philosophy of Mind by Jaegwon Kim
- Philosophy of Mind: An Overview for Cognitive Science by William Bechtel
Philosophy of Science
- Philosophy of Science: An Overview for Cognitive Science by William Bechtel
- Theory and Reality: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science by Peter Godfrey-Smith
- Philosophy of Science: A Contemporary Introduction by Alex Rosenberg
2. Begin reading the canonical texts — journal articles, mostly — and practice your summarizing/critical evaluation skills. You simply must begin to write philosophically as well as read such material if you ever plan to be genuinely competent. You can use my summaries as a model or develop your own methods (some people like to paraphrase rather than summarize, for example).
3. Get a little book on different methods for writing philosophy. This is a popular text and ought to do you right, especially since it also covers arguments, which are the bread and butter of analytic philosophy (there's a reason my summaries include a section that reconstructs the argument(s) of the article!).
4. Take a course or two. A classroom introduction to philosophy will be a big help for most people who want to understand more of the subject, though I don't think it's as necessary as some suppose (once my intro course turned me on to the subject most of the learning occurred independently of the course). Another course that is actually very important is an introductory course in symbolic logic, since so much of analytic philosophy has been bound up with logic these last 120 years or so.

Big Red Chairs Win 2017 EDCO Award

Meaford, Ontario – February 10, 2017 – Meaford's "Big Red Chair" tour has won the Economic Development Council of Ontario's award for Collaboration and Partnership 2017.
The Big Red Chairs began in spring 2015 when 5 oversized, bright red muskoka chairs were built by Georgian Bay Secondary Schools students in the wood shop, and placed at some of the most scenic locations in the Municipality of Meaford.
In 2016 the tour expanded significantly to 10 locations across the community, including local attractions like Grey Roots Museum, Coffin Ridge Winery, and Fox Harley-Davidson, as well as hidden gems and scenic lookouts. Panels were added to the backs of the chairs highlighting local history and other nearby attractions, encouraging visitors to explore all that Meaford has to offer.
"It's such a great feeling to drive by the Big Red Chairs and see families with all their kids and even the dog together for a family picture", said Mayor Barb Clumpus. "It's an honour for the tour to be recognized, as the chairs are quickly becoming part of the scenic landscape of Meaford."

How the payment industry is changing
The payment industry has undergone some major changes over the last few years, but there are still many merchants that are wary of upgrading their payment solutions and there are a few reasons for this hesitation.
A recent article from Street Fight Magazine examined the payment landscape. The boom in technological innovation has been driven by the need to bridge the gap between retailers' online and offline services. However, the achievement of this goal depends on improvement in point of sale systems.
"Many of these services still revolve around a black hole of sorts — the point of sale," the article reads. "Much of the automation and efficiency that technology has brought to ecommerce is still out of reach for the local market because the sellers remain largely offline." … more

I say that the ineffable speech which Paul heard spoken in Paradise were the eternal good things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived.
These things, which God has prepared for those who love Him, are not protected by heights, nor enclosed in some secret place, nor hidden in the depths, nor kept at the ends of the earth or sea.
They are right in front of you, before your very eyes. So, what are they?
Together with the good things stored up in heaven, these are the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ which we see every day, and eat and drink. These, we avow, are those good things.
Outside of these you will not be able to find one of the things spoken of, even if you were to traverse the whole of creation.
If you do want to know the truth of my words, become holy by practicing God's commandments and then partake of the holy things, and you will know precisely the force of what I am telling you." St. Symeon the New Theologian

This past weekend, my family headed to St. George (utah) for the Jubilee of Trees. The Jubilee is my mother-in-law's thing. She has been involved in the Jubilee for Years. She has decorated a tree, wreath, mini tree, and she is in charge of the overall decorations of the Jubilee complete with Castles that you can walk through!
This is my mother-in-law's tree. This picture doesn't do it justice, but she has won People's Choice several years in the past.
I'm sure you've seen these fun mod podged metal stars. Who would have thought of putting them on a tree. I loved this tree!
And last, but not least.... owls. You know how much I love owls! This was a super cute tree!
I will have to make a few of these owls.... I don't know what I'll do with them, but I must make some!
Wishing you a Happy Holiday season.... it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A Spoiler Ruins My Reading!
I'm reading Dostoyevsky's The Idiot. Quite enjoy it by far. Being a little confused about characters so I searched online and found a characters list for this book. But this list not only tells your who is who, also briefs what happen to them later in the book! Now I know what happens to the main characters (by just one sentence, caught me off guard!) and probably it is the most important story plot of this book. Terrible! But I will go ahead finish reading nonetheless.

Hellboy Library Edition Volume 1
Containing Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil
Written by Mike Mignola and John Byrne; Art by Mike Mignola
1995 Eisner Winner for Best Writer/Artist for Mike Mignola
1997 Eisner Winner for Best Writer/Artist (Drama) for Mike Mignola
2009 Eisner Winner for Best Production Design
It's rare for an ongoing series by one creator to improve over time. It's far more common for them to spend their effort on the original work and slowly run out of ideas or burn out. With Hellboy I initially didn't care for it. As time went by and people kept raving about the series I decided to give it another chance. What I found was that the earliest stuff was shaky but Mignola found his footing and took things in a better direction. So as I look over the first volume of the Library Edition which contains the first two miniseries and pair of extremely brief preview stories I am inclined to give it a bit more slack because I know what's coming.
The titular character is a paranormal investigator who is usually called in to deal with the problems where hitting the paranormal creature repeatedly is a good idea. He mysteriously appeared in 1944 at a moment the coincided with a failed attempt by Nazi occultists to awaken Lovecraftian horrors. After spending fifty years looking into other people's weirdness his origins come back to haunt him as one of the occultists returns to use Hellboy.
One of the biggest problems I had with Hellboy that I can still see is that Mignola's plots in these books seem to revolve around "What would look cool" instead of making sense. I'll complain loudly when there's too much exposition but the stories in these pages go the opposite route of containing far too little. This is especially a problem in the second story, Wake the Devil, where even knowing what's coming I still have trouble following it. As a broad example of this kind of thing, there is a monster that gets hit and turns into bones and this is a major plot event with no explanation of how or why it occurs. It's just an excuse to show the creature suddenly becoming a skeleton.
Another problem is that when there is a plot it's not a very engrossing one. The first story is essentially Hellboy and crew go to a haunted house where they stay the night and punch deep ones. With the second there's... um... well there's vampires... and a goddess I think... and there's something about an iron maiden that I didn't really follow... well see the above paragraph. There's some exciting action scenes and some spooky locations and some creepy monster monster designs but they just don't come together well. It's stuff that's cool without putting them into a story that's as interesting as they are.
Which isn't to say it's all bad. Occasionally things will come together just right for a flash of brilliance. In particular the climaxes of both stories are better than they deserve to be given their lackluster set up. Yes, the bad guys are going to get beaten and the heroes triumph but the way that things are brought together at the ending is entertaining. The metastory that is being developed in this book is far more interesting than the actual stories and that is what can carry you on to the point where Hellboy starts developing depth.
Mignola's artwork is an acquired taste and when I first read Hellboy I had not acquired it yet. He has a way with heavy shadows that flattens out the perspective. It drove me crazy until I got into the groove of his sharp edged line work that takes advantage of those heavy black areas. It's a very impressionistic style that I've come to appreciate as the look for the creatures of the night.
The Library Edition volumes of Hellboy are the best produced volume of comics that I have on my shelves. They're oversized but not so monstrously oversized that they're uncomfortable to read. They feature the heaviest paper stock I've seen; it's something that I've only encountered before in art books. The cloth binding has no dust jacket to get torn but still looks nice thanks to the embossing and plate set in the front. Oh, and it costs about as much as the first two Hellboy trade paperbacks so it's a bargain as well.
I said a lot of negative things in this review but when it comes down to it I found Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil to be blandly average comics. Mignola uses these as a launchpad and turns the series into something that explores folklore in a way that I have enjoyed quite a bit. Still I'd recommend starting with the second volume of the library edition and then going backward if you're a newcomer to Hellboy. And whether you are or not if you want to get Hellboy then the Library Editions are the best way to own the series. I wish all of my collected editions were as nice as this book.

It has been 16 years since one of the most devastating days in US history. Almost 3,000 people died when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre skyscrapers, the Pentagon, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
The symbolic "Way of Light" moment in the World Trade Centre Hub happens every year on the morning of Sept 11th. In accordance with Santiago Calatrava's design, the WTC Hub was oriented on the WTC site so that every Sept. 11th at exactly 10:28am the sunlight makes its way across the Oculus floor, through the skylight, exactly along the axis of the building, starting at the time the last tower fell (this is why the building is not totally perpendicular to Church Street).
The "Way of Light" is the path along which the light travels inside the main hall of the Oculus, through the open skylight, symbolizing the light that continues to shine through after the darkness of the tragedy. It's a very simple and poignant moment where the Hub is entirely illuminated and sun-drenched in natural light. One of the most beautiful days/times of the year in the Oculus.
The rebuilding of One World Trade Centre is now almost complete. The tower stands 104 stories and 1,776 feet tall (including its somewhat controversial spire, which shines every night) and which initially opened in 2014. Its design is the creation of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's David Childs. At the top of the building is One World Observatory, which opened in May 2015 and has since welcomed more than three million visitors.
Meanwhile, rebuilding continues at the Ground Zero site. The third of four planned office towers is on course to open next year, as is a Greek Orthodox church next to the World Trade Centre that was crushed by the South Tower's collapse, while work towards a $250m (£190m) performing arts centre also continues.
Plans were also announced this spring to transform a grassy clearing on the memorial plaza into a walkway and area dedicated to 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, including those who died of illnesses years after being exposed to smoke, dust and ash at Ground Zero.

Twenty eager faces stared at me in anticipation. The vickyflipfloptravels.com homepage was projected on the classroom wall bigger than I'd ever seen it (damn my balls and boobs post), the sounds of children playing outside was filtering in, but the air wasn't, and I was sweating with panic.
Turns out they're not interested in WordPress in Zanzibar – Blogspot is their blogging tool of choice – and so the next 89 minutes of my presentation on 'How to Use WordPress' were looking a tad bleak.
I was visiting Zanzibits Multimedia NGO for the afternoon as a volunteer to talk to staff and alumni about about how and why to set up a travel blog and how to use social media to promote it. I'd already been 'relieved' of around £30 from a local for taking me there as I was in a rush, and I was 15 minutes late starting because the students just kept on arriving – I was feeling the pressure.
On arrival I was greeted by thick bars on all the doors and windows. My guide beckoned a teacher over to find out where I should go and all the little kids inside were straining in their seats to look at me.
And so, my first foray into Blogspot began at Zanzibits in Stone Town, Zanzibar, in front of a classful of students. Not the way I would've liked it, but using my blagging skills and a touch of travel blogger's intuition I did manage to help one guy change his menu headers and another to change the colour of his background as a filler until I worked out what to do with everyone else.
Two minutes later I'd conjured up a 'Why You Should Use WordPress for Blogging' presentation and just decided to ad lib every slide that I'd carefully put together before I left London.
Program co ordinator Salama had already warned me to slow down my speech, so… I… tried… to… talk… like… this… At least it gave me time to think about my next slide…
It'd been a while since I'd been in a classroom, but it seems they're the same the world over. Desktop PCs were strewn across the desks and whiteboards adorned the walls. They'd moved the tables to the sides and lined 15 or so chairs up for the staff and alumni in anticipation of my arrival.
Once I'd got started the first 15 minutes whizzed by in a sweat and a stress – heightened by the fact it took at least 60 seconds to open a web page thanks to the East Africa Wi-Fi. I decided it would just be easiest to work through the back office of this site explaining each function step by step rather than any structured presentation.
I explained the basics, fascinated them with my plugin knowledge – "there's a plugin for that" – and decided to quickly skip over keyword research.
After 30 minutes I actually began to enjoy my first presentation on travel blogging. All the students seemed interested and I was able to answer all their questions, to a degree.
Outside the call to prayer started and I paused to see if any of the students needed to leave, but it seemed like they barely noticed it.
And just as it was all going well, I got too cocky with my gesticulations and knocked the power cable out.
Waiting for the computer to start up again only reignited the sweats. I smiled apologetically trying to think of a filler…
"Any questions?"
"Yeah, what's the point of Twitter?"
I tried to explain the community, the promotional opportunities and Twitter as a news source, but I was met with blank faces. So I moved onto everyone's favourite; Facebook. From opening an account to using page insights, I explained it all.
An hour and a half later and I was finished, and exhausted actually. I handed out my business cards – welcomed with lots of excitement – and of course told them to add me if they needed anything. We said our goodbyes and I walked out of there a different woman to the panicky, sweaty one that walked in the room.
Next stop, TBEX…
