AusGeo News September 2006 Issue No. 83
New datasets aid area selection and targeting.
Over the past five years, the Gawler Mineral Promotion Project has shed considerable light on the 1590 Ma iron oxide–copper–gold (IOCG) mineral systems of the eastern Gawler Craton and the coeval lode-gold systems of the central Gawler Craton. The project, under the National Geoscience Accord, has been a joint-effort of Geoscience Australia and Primary Industries and Resources South Australia.
Acquisition and interpretation of deep crustal seismic reflection data in the region of the giant Olympic Dam Cu–Au–U mine (see AusGeo News 76) delivered huge gains in our understanding of the crustal architecture and tectonic evolution of the eastern and central Gawler Craton. We now recognise that the IOCG mineralisation, which includes the Olympic Dam deposit, occurred inboard of a convergent margin, with first-order controls on fluid pathways being northwest-trending thrust faults.
The three-dimensional picture afforded by the seismic results constrains our interpretation of potential-field data and enables clear comparisons with the Mesozoic–Cainozoic IOCG systems of the Andean margin of South America. Apart from geophysics, other advances in the project have come from granite studies and geochemistry. We have also refined and improved the geochronological framework of the eastern and central Gawler Craton.
The result is a coherent model of mineralisation of the eastern and central Gawler Craton that links the IOCGs with their coeval lode-gold deposits for the first time. This knowledge gives explorers valuable spatial guides towards mineralisation in these almost completely hidden terranes.
In areas of little or no outcrop, potential-field data are critical to understanding the geological make-up of the basement. Because the Gawler Craton is particularly deficient in outcrop—with the crystalline basement of the eastern Gawler Craton almost completely covered by younger rocks—potential-field data are vital for gaining necessary regional knowledge of the prospective basement.
Interpretation of potential-field data is normally constrained by the extent of available petrophysical and spatial data, but these data may be difficult to obtain. Fortunately, the unique density and magnetisation of the iron oxide alteration of IOCG mineralisation allows us to map the likely locations of ore deposition using 3D inversion of the potential-field data (figure 1), even where constraints are lacking (see AusGeo News 74).
A new subdivision of the Hiltaba Association granites (which supersedes the Hiltaba Suite) and their comagmatic Gawler Range volcanics comprises four supersuites. The Roxby and Venus Supersuites show A-type characteristics, while the Venus and Malbooma Supersuites are I-type.
Significantly, the A-type granites were hotter and required more elevated geotherms than the I-types. The Olympic copper–gold province in the eastern Gawler Craton is characterised by the presence of A-type supersuites, indicating that the elevated crustal temperatures of the eastern Gawler Craton at 1590 Ma were a key ingredient for generating IOCG mineralisation.
The lower temperature I-type supersuites show many of the characteristics of granites associated with intrusion-related gold deposits. These granites are more abundant in the central Gawler gold province.
There is no demonstrated direct genetic link between the granite supersuites and the broadly coeval IOCG and lode-gold mineralisation. It may be that the granites are symptomatic of certain crustal geotherms that determine the style of mineralisation, with the hotter crust producing some of the conditions required for IOCG mineralisation and cooler crust leading to lode-gold mineralisation.
Chemical modelling predicts that reaction of a low-grade magnetite protore (containing 0.1% Cu, in chalcopyrite, and 0.1 g/t Au) with an oxidised fluid may result in a mineral assemblage with appreciable upgrading of copper and gold (up to ~3% Cu as bornite, chalcocite and chalcopyrite; up to 1 g/t Au) (figure 2). Mineralisation will be contained within the haematite alteration zone adjacent to the magnetite–haematite oxidation front. Our modelling agrees with observations from several known occurrences of copper–gold mineralisation in the Gawler Craton and shows that favourable sites of mineralisation are less likely within magnetite alteration, but may occur at the juncture of offset haematite and magnetite alteration zones. The two-stage upgrading model complements previously published models of copper and gold precipitation due to simultaneous mixing of reduced and oxidised fluids in accounting for the range of styles of copper–gold mineralisation in the eastern Gawler Craton.
A 1:500 000 scale map released in February this year—Iron oxide Cu–Au (–U) potential of the Gawler Craton, South Australia (figure 3)—summarises key results of work on IOCG systems and shows the distribution of several 'essential ingredients' of IOCG ore-forming systems, including:
The map may be downloaded from the Gawler Project website.
The Gawler Mineral Promotion Project demonstrated how to come to grips with the geology and mineralisation of a region generally obscured by hundreds to thousands of metres of cover. The most important lesson is that a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach is essential.
Geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, drillhole data, and geochronology combined to provide guides to ore and to help us understand the tectonic environment of the Gawler Craton's IOCG mineral systems and coeval lode-gold systems. We are now able to take what we have learned about working in such a difficult terrane to other frontier parts of the Australian Proterozoic.

Our decisions will be quite different in these different moments. instead of the "all or nothing" mindset, replace it with a guideline that allows for some breathing room but still disciplined.GUIDELINE: USE THE 90/10 COMPLIANCE RULEYour mood and social pressures should only determine your caloric intake about 10% of the time, while your chosen healthy diet dictates the vast majority of your food and liquid intake.The devil is always in the details when it comes to eating, so I want to spell this out for everyone: 10% = two meals per week. You still need to be somewhat mindful of calories, but most likely in two meals you will not be able to undo an entire week of calorie deficit. If you are like most people, you believe that taking Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday off their healthy diet in luxurious restaurants, drinking, going out for brunch, etc. is okay. Wrong! that is a whopping 30% of meals, which is 20% over the rule and will almost always break the fat loss calorie deficit you set at the beginning of the week. This is usually why you see some regular workout people that don't have a very lean body: because they're being too loose with their restrictions on food intake.In addition, you need to really embrace your 10% and enjoy it; I certainly do. You should hear the comments I get in social situations or special events, where people assume I eat to my dietary guidelines 100% of the time. "You're vegetarian right?" or "I'm sure you never eat that stuff," and "Oh, I cannot eat that in front of you," etc. This is the "all or nothing" societal mindset in action.Don't feel guilty and call it cheating. It is just part of your plan, the 10% part. Guilt is a strong negative emotion and ends up affecting us in all sorts of undesirable ways. We always want what we can't have, and deprivation can lead to binging on certain foods.One of the ways to combat this is to fully let go of the guilt. Enjoy your ice cream, cookies, or chips. Really taste them and appreciate them as a delicious occasional treat, i.e. not daily. Just make sure you stay within your calories for the week and portion it out.STRATEGY: Distinguish Between Actual Hunger & Emotional/Habitual HungerActual hunger (and thirst) is when the body needs calories, nutrients (or water), versus emotional/hormonal hunger, which is when you are eating to cover up the way you feel emotionally (depressed/bored) or balance out some hormonal issue that was caused by unhealthy eating/activity, like a blood sugar (insulin) crash.People tend to eat for comfort in certain situations, like when you are stressed or bored, so those are the times to raise your red flags and check in with yourself as to whether you actually need calories because it has been a few hours since you ate, or if you are just mindlessly stuffing your face.In the moment, ask yourself this question: What am I really hungry for? Your answer may surprise you. Sometimes it's fun we lack, or activity, or love, not calories. If your life isn't satisfying you will be looking for this in food. Just by starting to notice this more and more you will naturally start to address the real hunger and over time this noticing will turn into your discipline.Strategy: Deal With Emotions Directly. Eating Won't Make Them Go Away.Another major piece of this issue is a deeply embedded, but hidden belief that food can somehow make our stresses and problems go away by momentarily relieving some of the symptoms (stress, upset, worry, boredom, etc.). Our perception of time is often minuscule, seeing only the comfort in the next moment, but remaining blind to the crash, guilt and other negative emotions and physical realities that come with emotional binge eating. Unhealthy "comfort" foods lead you down a different path than the one you chose when you were in your natural state of mind. For some foods can even become a substance for regular abuse and addiction, just like drugs and alcohol.In order to curtail emotional eating we need to break the belief that unhealthy foods (fatty/sugary) will solve the problem by making us feel better right now. Replace it with its opposite: Addressing your issues head on will solve your underlying problems starting by eating well to make yourself feel better all day. Strategy: Get unhealthy snacks out of reach and stay busy all day with planned meal/snack breaksAnother reason people over eat is because of habits, such as eating every time you come home, or before you go to bed or always having cookies after lunch, etc. These routine habits can act in the same way as emotional eating and send you over your limits. Remember food is fuel but you don't need a continual hook-up to the gas line, eg. constant snacking or "grazing". First you must, get the snack foods out of arms reach at work and at home, they need to be portioned. Second, stay busy, busy, busy so food isn't continually coming to mind and have planned meal/snack breaks to thwart of the grazing effect.Strategy: Slow Down & Really Enjoy Your Healthy MealsYour body can only do so many things at once. Your digestion shuts off when you are distracted, causing a disconnect between your gut and your brain. Your brain doesn't realize that you ate, which causes dissatisfaction, false hunger, and a cycle of overeating. Eat your meals seated at a table and give yourself adequate time to enjoy each bite. Always be present while eating which means actually paying attention to how food tastes, being curious about what is in it, how it smells, how it looks, etc. We label many unhealthy meals and drinks as so enjoyable, and comforting but a lot of that is just our mental construct around it. So many healthy foods are emotionally satisfying as well as physically so beef up your enjoyment of the healthy meals by savoring them.Strategy: Monitor Your Cravings & TriggersYou cannot possibly be disciplined about your emotional eating if you don't know what you crave, when you crave it or what your emotional triggers are for the craving. The first one or two triggers for emotional eating might be very obvious but there are going to be a few triggers that you are likely not as aware of. If you are food journaling consistently then it is easy to look back through the weeks and see when you ate those foods or read your notes about how you felt at the times that you broke from healthy eating. Eating Challenge:Identify your top emotional food or drink and give it up for a week. Notice what times of day or situations you crave them and what feelings are they about. What might replace the food and satisfy you? gavin 2017-03-22T12:21:33+00:00

Peugeot 5008 GT – you had me from the moment I sat in your driver's seat.
I was yours from the first eye-to-eye contact with your tilted cockpit LCD screen.
You could do no wrong from the moment I saw your beautiful stitched leather seats. When I felt your exquisite, small-sized steering wheel once again, I knew this was set to be a special relationship.
When I saw your tactile button controls under your tilted screen for climate control, radio and navigation, I knew it would be love for life.
You're not a bad looker either, dear Peugeot 5008. And you drive so wonderfully!
Forgive the editorial gushing, but when Peugeot get things this right, there are some raw emotions that surface from car enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
For this driver, and I imagine for many others, the Peugeot 5008 SUV GT is going to be a seductive and romantic SUV driving experience.
From their first time in the car, drivers will notice a beautifully sculptured interior, an easy to read i-Dash gauge-set that can be modified and adjusted to suit driver tastes and some other small nifty tricks, from the front passenger seat extender to the side window blinds, that all add up to a very special ride indeed.
Add in Peugeot's contoured-shape steering wheel and you'll be asking why all cars, SUVs and wagons don't come like this as standard. The trick here is the driver's sight line of the i-Dash is above the steering wheel. There are no 'what speed am I doing because the steering wheel is in the way?' moments.
Much of the driver comfort in the cabin comes before the engine is even ticked over. With the uninterrupted sight lines out the front windscreen, the sunroof open and lighting the cabin, the six-speaker audio system on and the LCD screen angled towards the driver, it's time to drive.
Start the 2L HDI turbo diesel engine and then this French love story can really begin.
Peugeot extras
The Peugeot's tricks and extras include a hands-free tailgate open/close, window blinds for the second row of seats, electric sunroof, wireless phone dock charging, tray tables on the back seats (handy for little ones' games or snacks), 3D satellite navigation, keyless access and start, dual-zone air conditioning, eight-way adjustable driver electric seat with massage function, LED daytime running lights and high beam assist. And still there is more!
Safety features include active lane departure warning, active blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, electric brakes with hill start assist and 360 degree camera front collision warning, all of which add up to a sense of drivers being in control of this great French SUV.
In a seven-seater SUV, drivers may think parking is a problem. Think again. In one of the most remarkable demonstrations of parallel parking this driver has ever seen, the on-board eight-inch on-screen controls and prompts provide hands-off parallel parking in very tight spaces that manual parking would never achieve without risking dings and damage.
From the outside, the 5008 has some beautifully-shaped contours and lines that seemingly make it look like a standard SUV. But this is a seven-seater, and when inside and looking behind you, it is a big interior cabin with enough space for the kids, beach bits and pieces and a few golf club bags as well. There is a lot of space back there!
The Peugeot 5008 is the complete driver package with some extras to offer.
It is one of those drives where sound engineering meets well-designed ergonomics head-on (featuring a great balance of tactile controls with LCD screen functions) and beautiful interior design and comfort.
On the road, the Peugeot 5008 GT even defies the laws of physics by being an SUV that looks big, but drives small and is very responsive.
A perfect love story
Did I love my drive in the Peugeot 5008? Oh yes, sure did.
There is a sense of everything being finely balanced – the engine pep is there, the ride is free of alarming SUV body roll or other nasties, and the 'over the steering wheel' driver sight lines add to a sense of being in control and safe.
It all just feels right inside and out and on the road.
Given the size of the 5008 it feels surprisingly light in the hand and on the road. I suspect that over long drives this Peugeot SUV will get drivers to their destination still feeling fresh and with little sense of driver fatigue.
There is little wind or road noise and the comfort in the cabin will have drivers feeling in control, safe and very much in enjoyment mode as the Peugeot 5008 GT ride unfolds. Passengers can also relax and enjoy the comfort of the gorgeous interior.
So how to show off this French motoring love story? By having the Charlemagne Lodge at Te Puna provide the romantic backdrop.
As French love stories go, this one has a happy ending – take a Peugeot 5008 out for a date and you too may find you're smitten from the start.

The Magic and Mystery of Everyday Life
A shaman is someone who, among other things, travels to worlds in Non-Ordinary Reality to search for wisdom and guidance. Shamans work with helping spirits and teachers, seeking to bring healing to the people they serve. While I am certainly not a traditional shaman, the work I do with tarot and the way I approach life is similar and incorporates shamanistic practices.
Part of the joy of this journey is sharing experiences and ideas with others. You can read about what is currently catching my interest on my blog and on the Currently Reading page. Share your experiences and ideas in the comments or email me. After all, as Ram Dass said, "We're all just walking each other home."
My current work includes writing books, creating decks, and teaching tarot around the world.

The National Security Agency reimbursed some of the nation's top tech companies for participating in its PRISM surveillance program, according to new leaked government documents obtained by The Guardian.
The revelation puts a financial spin on what until now has mostly been a question of civil liberties. Previous NSA documents have linked companies such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft to the PRISM program, though many of the companies have denied granting the NSA "direct access" to their servers. Although a Yahoo spokesperson said the government is supposed to reimburse companies for cooperating with federal surveillance requests, the other tech companies either denied receiving money or refused to respond directly to the accusations.
Some critics fear that the shadow revenue flowing to the private sector could create a perverse incentive for tech companies.
"The line you have to watch for . . . is the difference between reimbursement for complying with a lawful order and actually a profit-making enterprise," Michelle Richards, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union's told The Hill.
Google and Microsoft have asked the government for permission to disclose the aggregate numbers behind the NSA's secret surveillance requests. However, since the companies filed those suits, the Justice Department has asked for (and received) an extension of the deadline six times. It's unclear whether the government can simply continue deferring indefinitely.
Update: In a statement to the Post, Facebook denied receiving payments from the government. "Facebook has never received any compensation in connection with responding to a government data request," a spokesperson said.
Correction: The original version of this post said that Facebook was among the companies that received payment for cooperating with surveillance requests. It was not among them.

Napa Valley College, founded in 1942 in Napa, held its first class with just 16 students, only one of whom was male. Once World War II was over, veterans flooded into the new college. During 1948-49, a modern new college was built next to the high school.
The community reaffirmed its commitment to the local college in 1962 by passing a bond to buy land and build a new college campus. After 23 years, the college had its own campus, its own school district and an enrollment of 1,771 students.
In 1982, Napa College changed its name to Napa Valley College. The official opening of a permanent Upper Valley Campus in 1994 brought educational opportunities close to home for upper valley residents and added new dimensions to the college curriculum.
Napa Valley College celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2002 and continues to seek new avenues of service to students and the community.

This is Lewis. He is a Vet Tech at the Takoma Park Animal Clinic. Though I've worked with several Vets within the clinic, Lewis has always been the primary keeper of all my kidz. The cats like him as if he were family. He's been there for me when I adopted my cats. He was there when I had to say good-bye to them. His presence is a comfort and reassurance that my cats will be cared for properly.
Thanks, Lewis.

Once again we bring you one of our interviews with design and web professionals, as always our goal is to provide some educational and informative insight into how people work, what inspires them and how they got where they are. This month we're talking with Scott Johnson creator of the popular ExtraLife and The Instance podcasts, he is a cartoonist/illustrator and purveyor of everything web-geek.
What is your company called and what do you do?
The company I do everything under is called FrogPants Studios, but that includes the web comic and blog at myextralife.com, the various radio shows I do online (ExtraLife Radio, The Instance, Diary of a Cartoonist, ExtraLife TV, etc.) I am a creator of visual and audio content. Specifically I am a cartoonist, with a thriving freelance business where I do illustration and design. FrogPants also gives me the ability to work with clients that want audio production work, video production work, and other areas of new media.
What was the "big bang†that lead you to start your company?
I started the comic back in June of 2001. The goal then was to just give myself an excuse to keep drawing all the time and continue to build my skills. It was probably 2005 that things exploded for me. Not sure why, but it was a combination of finding a critical mass for the comic, as well as creating the podcasts and radio shows. Been big growth ever since with all sorts of unexpected opportunities.
What makes your product or service stand out in the crowd?
The focus on community and letting others contribute in meaningful ways. We have contests nearly every week, people are encouraged to create segments for the radio shows, sponsor personal appearances in the comic, etc. Community is everything, and that focus has really made a difference for me. I have the best fan base on the planet as far as I'm concerned.
What did you do before this came along?
I worked (and continue to some degree) in various positions of graphic design, marketing, and web development.
What was the single biggest hurtle to getting your company launched?
Mostly just me realizing that I could build what I was doing into something that would provide regular and consistent income. We are often our own obstacles.
What has been the best method or tactic for advertising your company?
Word of mouth, pure and simple.
What's your prediction for the "future of the webâ€, what's the next big thing?
Very hard to predict, but I think the rush of user created content will be where we will look for that next big thing. I will take 300 million really smart and creative people over 2 or 3 any day.
What are the long-term effects of all the "social networking†products going to be?
I think it will continue to fortify the web into what it was always meant to be in the first place: A mechanism to connect many people in many diverse ways.
What advice can you give for new entrepreneurs who are gearing up to produce their big idea?
I call it the PCP: Passion, Consistency, and Patience.
What should they watch out for?
People who like to tear them down in the process. Comments and forums are sometimes your enemy. 🙂
What should they embrace?
Just the fun and excitement of it all.
What is your favorite book?
The Dark Tower: Book One: The Gunslinger
What is your favorite movie?
The Empire Strikes Back
Who is your favorite musical artist (or What musical artist are you listening to the most right now?)
All time? Beetles. Into right now? The Crystal Method.
The comic, the radio shows, and the blog are all created and maintained by Scott Johnson. ExtraLife (the web comic) was started in June of 2001. The comic is updated three days a week and continues to this day. The comic itself sometimes features regular characters, but often is more about the subject matter and less about who is there to portray the subject.
In 2003 Scott "technically†started ExtraLife Radio as a stand alone downloadable MP3 file, but things really took off in 2005 when podcasting made this all so much easier. The Instance soon followed, as well as numerous other projects.

Hasbro is an American toy company based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is the world's second largest toy maker, next to Mattel. Hasbro has produced numerous toys for the Pokémon franchise, ranging from Poké Balls to the Pokédex. In 1999, Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast and, in turn, the license to the Pokémon Trading Card Game until Wizards of the Coast lost the license to it in 2003.
Hasbro currently is not producing any Pokémon merchandise. Most of the Pokémon toys on the market today are manufactured by Jakks Pacific.

Raheem Sterling opened the scoring by heading in Kevin de Bruyne's cross.
The lead was doubled through Yaya Toure's low 20-yard drive before Wilfried Bony headed in another de Bruyne delivery.
The brilliant Belgian calmly scored before Fabio Borini's consolation, as Bony skied a penalty later on.
City will be concerned by the second-half departure of skipper Kompany, just minutes after coming on, having missed the previous eight matches with a calf injury.
The defeat leaves Sunderland still five points adrift of Premier League safety, while City remain in third place.
Manchester City may have lost to Arsenal last time out, but manager Manuel Pellegrini was adamant his side – when fully fit – are the strongest side in the Premier League.
Sunderland did little to test that theory as they allowed Pellegrini's men to return to winning ways in totally dominant style.
While just too good to handle as an offensive unit, the hosts were still far from convincing defensively as the Black Cats created several chances of their own.
And when Borini scored at the second attempt from close range, it meant City had failed to keep a clean sheet for an eighth successive match.

Impulse Buy: Milani Cosmetics
For the past few Basic Bitch Sundays I have been hunting for the perfect corally pink shade blush/lipstick on a drugstore budget. I ended up at a Walmart this past Sunday and finally found it - the perfect corally pink blush from Milani Cosmetics in the shade Coral Cove.
It is a gorgeous shade of coral and it puts the perfect pop of color on the cheeks. Its definitely very blendable but can be a little powdery at times. I haven't had any problems applying it (except for my heavy handedness the first time) and I think it may become an end of summer staple. Maybe I could even push this color into fall? Milani is definitely one of my favorite drugstore brands and I own multiple products from them.
Stalk me?

Support a Chinese couple working as missionaries as part of the China to the World movement, in a closed country that has a 0.66% Christian population.
China, with a long history of receiving foreign missionaries, is now positioned to become one of the greatest sending nations in Christian history. While the Chinese Church is still greatly oppressed in certain areas, it has experienced phenomenal growth in recent decades and Chinese Christians are now being mobilised to move outside their borders to reach their neighbours. The Back to Jerusalem movement (the motivation behind the "China to the World" movement) embraces the idea that Chinese missionaries can carry the Gospel "back to Jerusalem", having been prepared for persecution through persecution.

25 - I'm-a call all y'all Madame Clio, okay?

hard choice... i say the litas or the clogs... the third are just too practical (?) haha.... i have the litas and they are truly some of the most comfortable platforms i have and they can't be taken out in the mud :) but the clogs are truly devine as well! can't wait to see which you pick :)ReplyDelete
All beautiful shoes! I say litas... my fav! m.ReplyDelete
i vote the Gypsy Platform Clog. i love the lita, but really EVERYONE and their mother and stepmother and their lunch lady has them. ok maybe thats extreme. but seriously. And with looking at the shoes your wearing in these photos the wedge somewhat is similar. I love the maroon color of the clog I think they'd be nice to complement your wardrobe.ReplyDelete
wolves and sparklers
Love your hair, and shoes in this pictureReplyDelete
I would pick the gypsy ones, maybe because i allready have the Litas and two toner wedges.ReplyDelete
I am so happy i found your blog. Such an inspiring style!
i have the Jeffrey Campbell Charli clogs, and they're fine at first but they are hard to walk in and very uncomfortable after awhile. I almost fell off an escalator in them. So, I wouldn't get the gypsy clogs because if they're at all like the Charli clogs, they are a bit cumbersome. I like the two timer wedges the best. I think you would probably get the most wear out of them, and I like the blue wedge.ReplyDelete
I vote wedges! The clogs are beyond amazing, but not practical as shoes to be worn outside. Which I am guessing is important to you.ReplyDelete
i love your outfit, those shoes are amazing! i agree about the litas too, i love em but everybody has them! i would go with the wedges, they are much more unique and edgy :)ReplyDelete
btw you have an amazing blog! im following now :)
Fashion Bag 411
I have been looking at all three for a while now too. Here is my issue: I see a shoe and fall madly in love. I save up for months and months and by the time I have enough money it is sold out in my size. For some reason 6 is always sold out first, its like the token cute girl size or something. I still want the freaken edelmans for goodnes sakes!ReplyDelete
I would skip the litas. I was sick of seeing them the first time i saw them, but some girls really look good in them. some just look like they spend too much time on the internet and have too much money to burn. If it were me, i would most likely wear them twice and wonder why the fuck i bothered.
The second pair are absolutely beyond amazing. the color is so rich and they look so soft. i just want to rub them on my face. I love the shape of them, kind of like the litas but more sophisticated in a way, and i haven't seen every single girlwithablog wearing them. I have hope that I would be careful enough to take care of them but then again.......
The third are also very cute and chunky and tall, everything i love in a wedge. But there are also dozens of similar pairs out there.
I would choose the second ones, based on all of the above and the price isn't as bad. I'm having a similar shoe battle decision raging in my head. Hope you are happy with your choice when you decide!!
WOW that was a ridiculously long comment. sorry. haha.ReplyDelete
Hmmm...I'm going to to with the Gypsy platform clog, hands down! They're different, no one has them and they actually might hold up to any mud-sludges you find yourself traipsing through :) Love your blog and style, come check mine out and maybe we can follow each other?ReplyDelete
im so in love with the second ^^ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
gosh that first pair of shoes are just so fierce...ReplyDelete
well i do think that the gypsy platforms...are real neat...and you probably want it real bad...seeing your words. so you should totally go for it..!!!ReplyDelete

NHS foundation trusts nine months review published21st March 2011
Monitor has today published its nine month review of NHS foundation trusts for 2010-11. The results for the third quarter reveal that the majority of NHS foundation trusts continue to perform well in testing circumstances, but some longer term challenges remain.
Throughout 2010-11, Monitor, the NHS foundation trust regulator, has been tracking key issues that were identified through analysis of trusts' annual plans and ongoing regulatory scrutiny.
At the nine month stage, the average financial risk rating of foundation trusts has improved slightly from 3.5 to 3.6 (where 5 represents the lowest risk and 1 represents the highest risk). On governance risk, the majority (57%) are rated as Green (lowest risk), and there has been a slight reduction in the number of foundation trusts rated Red (highest risk), down to ten trusts (11 in the previous quarter).
A summary of the key issues this quarter includes:
- Cost Improvement Plans are 9% behind plan (a slight improvement on 11% at quarter two);
- 20 foundation trusts have identified actual or likely contract disputes with their commissioners for 2010-11 (down from 24 at quarter two);
- Overall performance against cancer targets shows a slight improvement, with the number of foundation trusts breaching cancer targets decreasing to 25 (28 in quarter two); and
- Foundation trusts delivered a net surplus (pre-exceptionals) of £330 million at quarter three, which is £55 million ahead of plan.
Commenting on the results, Monitor's Chair, Dr David Bennett said:
"This is proving to be a challenging year for foundation trusts, but we are encouraged by their performance so far. The vast majority appear to be well run from both a quality and finance perspective. This should mean that they will be well placed to meet the demands of their patients and services users going forward.
"However, there can be no room for complacency. The pressure on local health economies is significant and we are anticipating that contract disputes between foundation trusts and their commissioners will be a bigger issue in the fourth quarter and possibly next year. Foundation trusts will be affected by commissioners' need to make savings and it is essential that trusts and their commissioners, including the new pathfinder GP consortia, work closely together to find a mutually acceptable response to this challenge. This partnership working will be particularly important in light of the changes proposed in the Health and Social Care Bill and the need to ensure a smooth transition to new ways of working."

- Structurally first men and women view the navigation menus, emblem, and header (like masthead) first at the right time of page loading. These should draw attention with amazing graphics on the job.
- The 2nd vital issue is the fundamental text area. If the text is really informative, it appears dull and people may go away. Some bullets and related images in the write-ups can catch attention.
- To emphasize any specialties or provide, images play the very important function. Within the portion of minutes, images with dynamic effects may capture attention.
- For virtually any demonstration, can be for services or products, graphics need to be utilized. It's not feasible to brand any product or service in the demonstration without using images.

Here's one for Len. Actually, it may belong to Len's since I found it here at the station.
He was no fool. He'd never get the attention of the promoters in the highly lucrative world of polka music with a name like Joe Oberaitis. It may as well have been "Joe Blow". Not to be daunted, Joe renounced his birth name and took a step into the flashy by anointing himself "Mr. Polka Dynamite". And the rest is history. Look at the new found confidence brought on by his career choice. You can tell that he's ready to take on the polka world with such hits as "Dancing Doll Waltz" and "The Golden Kielbasa", a tune which I hope I never find out the backstory. And backed by his polka posse, there's no stopping this wildman.
God bless you, "Mr. Polka Dynamite"... and your polyester gang of four. You make our weddings and ethnic festivals something to remember.

Back to My Main Homepage!:
"So, big deal! Why should I care about sin?" Sin is a big deal! Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages of sin is death...." Death in this passage refers to hell (eternal separation from God) and because all of us have sinned, we would receive justice by going to hell, but God wants to give us mercy.
Yes, God wants to give us mercy. If you read the rest of Romans 6:23, you will find that "...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." It means heaven is a gift through Jesus. How is Jesus the bridge between heaven and hell? He took our place, by dying on the cross to save us from the curse of our sins. 1 Peter 3:18 says, "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God...."
"Jesus died for my sins, Can I live any way I want?" No! Remember, eternal life in heaven is a gift (Romans 6:23). To have a gift, you first have to receive it.
Start getting to know God by praying and reading the Bible daily. Also, get yourself in a church that can help you develop in your relationship with God. Praying the two things above, from your heart, does bring eternal life to you, but continuing to purposely be involved in your sins is like giving the gift back to God, saying "I don't want it!" Think about it, if you forgive someone, would you still want them to still do those things to you on purpose? Of course not! Reading the Bible is like spiritual food (Matthew 4), it will help your faith grow (Romans 10:17) and help you overcome your sinful habits (Psalm 119:11). It will also supply all your spiritual and emotional needs (Philippians 4:19).

- Performance Tests: Remote-Control Software
- Summary of Features: Remote-Control Software
All of the programs we tested provide adequate performance using a fast connection such as a LAN or broadband link. But if you're connecting via modem, choosing a well-tuned remote-control application can make the difference between being there and being left behind.
To test remote-control programs over dial-up, we established a 46.6-Kbps connection between the 56K modem on a guest computer and a Perle 833IS Remote Access Server (RAS). The RAS was connected to our intranet, where the remote-control host also resided. For GoToMyPC, which requires that all connections route through its server, the connection went from our LAN through a firewall to the Internet and back in through the firewall.
The guest and host computers were both 1-GHz Pentium III systems with 256MB of RAM, running Microsoft Windows XP. The display settings on the host machine were 1,024-by-768 with 32-bit color, and the client was set to 1,280-by-1,024 with 32-bit color.
For our file-transfer tests, the uncompressible file was a 200K ZIP file. The compressible file was a 200K Microsoft Word document that was 81 percent compressible, according to WinZip, the popular compression program. The delta file was the same compressible Word document, with a few changes that brought its size up to 210K. GoToMyPC, RemotelyAnywhere 4.10, and Windows XP cannot handle delta file transfers, and TridiaVNC 1.5 can't perform file transfers at all.
The Remote-Control Performance test measures the time each program takes to perform a series of common tasks. For the Initiate Connection test, we measured how long it took for our guest PC to establish a connection with the host system. We ran these tests at 256-color (8-bit) settings and also at the products' default settings. Where a product's default is 8-bit color, the chart shows only one score or set of scores. Interestingly, GoToMyPC, despite the circuitous route its sessions take, was still one of the fastest products on our remote-control test.

A cute little one this time. I bought these figures so long ago I can't quite rember, it was back when i started collecting figures and would settle for even small ones. These days though I rarely buy mini-figures, and have my old ones packed away somewhere, but even now I am a religious fan od Da Qiao. Though her Dynasty Warriors 4 costume is not really my favourite, I couldnt resisit buying a figure of her even if it was tiny, and ofcourse you can't have one without the other! Well actually Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao can only be bought in a set, but I would have bought them both anyway. xD
Arent they a couple of cuties? These figures come packed in the same small box, accompained by a trading card which features both of the young Qiaos. They are posed in the same way as their original CG artwork from this game. Both of Da Qiaos fans and detachable while as the rest of her body is not, however in Xiao Qiaos case both of her fans,the bow located at the back of her obi, and both of her arms come apart.
Taking into concideration that this is a very very small figure, the detailing on the outfit and face is really impressive. Infact, if you compare a bootleg version of a figure of a larger scale, you can see that even the paint job on Da Qiao is much better. The most impressive part of the figure is the beautiful paint-job and the smoothness of her fans.
And now for the little Qiao. The only problem I had with this little one is the fact that she is actually quite difficult to put together believeit or not. I did find howevere that once she is put together she is pretty sturdy and won't fall apart. The colouring is true to the character, vibrant and eye-catching. Similar to the Da Qiao version the fans are highly impressive in detail as is her clothing.
At the end of the day these figures are only for avid fans of either of the characters or the games which they are from, I doubt a figure collector would find much joy in purchasing these….unless ofcourse your target collection is mini-figures. I myself would pay an unending amount of money for a high wuality large scale version of these ladies!
Overall rating: 7/10

EXCLUSIVEChris Brown loves throwing up Bloods gang signs, but you can't tell by looking at his ride -- he just dropped $10,000 to turn his Lambo ... BLUE!
Chris hit up JC Customz in Bellflower, CA shortly after being released from jail to get a fresh new look for his 2013 Lamborghini Aventador. It's not quite Crips blue ... in fact we're told it's a custom shade called Sky Blue.
The car -- which was previously designed to look like a Nike Air Foamposite Camo sneaker -- had to be totally stripped down during the month-long process, repainted, and then put back together ... according to the shop.
It's no secret Chris likes to design his exotic cars with cool looks ... check out his other creations.

As school swings back into action and fall sports are played on fields across the county, the second year of competition comes into focus for the J.B. Watkins First Lego League Robotics Team – with all but one student returning from the original team.
This year, as part of our initiative to support STEaM learning opportunities in our community, PeakLogix has agreed to sponsor a second robot so that all of the kids can get more hands-on programming experience and the ability to tinker with the robots in unison for heightened learning.
The theme for this year is "World Class" – this idea (in a nutshell) is that the kids pick a topic – anything they have an interest in as a team – and develop a better way of teaching and/or learning about that topic. Once they have established their ideas, they have to document it and then demonstrate it for the challenge.
PeakLogix plans to host this year's team on-site to see first hand the LEGOveyor display that we built and to provide an opportunity for them to interact with our automation experts and ask questions.

Treasure Sharing: Joining SkillShare
I'm a nerd. I watch video tutorials on YouTube for fun that teach me how to draw, design, or use various adobe cc programs because it gets me inspired. As John Green has said, "When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is 'You like stuff,' which is not a good insult at all." see full quote1. So if you "like stuff" too, then SkillShare is going to be an amazing resource for you.

Having played Batman Arkham City (Xbox 360) to death, and being a massive fan of the recent – emphasis on recent – films (and the earlier Tim Burton efforts, to be fair), I had high hopes for Gameloft's The Dark Knight Rises. Alas, my Batman nerdiness was thoroughly unsatisfied.
I'm happy to report that Batman Arkham City Lockdown goes a long way to repairing that damage. It's a Bat-nerd's dream.
Like Avengers Initiative, Batman Arkham City Lockdown takes its cue from the Infinity Blade games, though it's not quite the carbon copy that the Marvel outing yields.
The basic mechanics are the same. You face a series of opponents in one-on-one combat, and you can dodge, parry, and unleash various combos.
Where Batman Arkham City Lockdown differs is the lack of a block option (which I only just realised; clearly it wasn't missed), and there's no need to worry about dodging left or right; dodge is dodge.
That's partly because the left of the screen in Batman Arkham City Lockdown is reserved for Batman's gadgets, including smoke pellets, medical kits, and, er, bats. Neat.
Batman Arkham City Lockdown also trumps the aforementioned games with a concise – but still deep – perk system, called – of course – Waynetech.
In Waynetech's Combat section, you can increase your strength, health, attack speed and critical hit chance, while the Gadget section covers the aforementioned gadgetry, and – in addition – powered gauntlets. Nice and simple.
There's also a number of Batsuits, with unique Health, Damage and Speed attributes. Some can be unlocked, while others demand 69p.
Fan service in Batman Arkham City Lockdown is abundant, with various nods to graphic novels such as The Dark Knight Returns, Year One and The Killing Joke (which I read last night, incidentally).
Bat-nerds will be further wowed by Batman Arkham City Lockdown's Extras section, which includes character bios, wallpapers, and even comics.
Getting back to the game, Batman Arkham City Lockdown's combat feels a little less strict than Infinity Blade (and Avengers Initiative), in the sense that you can occasionally land random blows on your opponent without waiting for them to make a move.
The notion of having to start the game over when you're defeated is also – thankfully – absent from Batman Arkham City Lockdown, yielding a more enjoyable experience.
Oh, and Batman Arkham City Lockdown has Two-Face, Solomon Grundy, Deathstroke, The Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill – yes!), Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. Win.
- Batman is awesome
- The gadgets
- The villains
- The extras
- Not entirely original
- Fairly short
- Crazy tough to begin with
Summary: Arkham City Lockdown is Infinity Blade in Batman clothing, with lots on offer to please Bat-nerds. Like me.
Developer: Warner Bros
Price: £3.99 @ App Store
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

Irish trickster Peter McCaughey's situationist art is more important now than ever before, says Rory Olcayto
Nearly two decades have passed and it's still one of the most powerful works of art I've been lucky enough to see. I met the artist who created it last week - the first time in years. Talk about a Proustian rush… The venue for the artwork was the old Partick Marine police station in Glasgow's west end. The building contained cells - quite a few of them - on two floors, arranged around a central atrium, and there was a courtroom in the complex, too.
Its back story was rich and more than a little creepy. In the 60s, during the biggest manhunt in Scotland's history (for the killer dubbed Bible John - Glasgow's Jack the Ripper and, like him, never caught) 'the Marine' had been the investigations HQ. Now it was sad, tired, almost forgotten, a B-Listed shell, haunted by its failure to aid the capture of Scotland's most notorious serial killer. And it was ours to use as we pleased.
It was 1994. My friends and I, recent architecture graduates of Strathclyde University, had organised the Winterschool, which in true 90s style we described to the Glasgow Herald as 'an alternative multi-media forum'. (One of the workshops, run by Julian Ellison, who would establish the BBC's first editorial website later that year, was simply arranged around connecting to the internet - a novelty then.) Our goal, the Herald reported, was to 'shake architecture off its pedestal'. By the time we got our hands on it, the student-run event had been held in different cities for 14 years. Winterschool had always been about politics and we were determined to build on that tradition. (Brian Anson had joined our cause, but walked out on us when we told him we'd be in charge, not him.) But, this being Glasgow, a city of dreamers, chancers, tall story tellers and fanciful, melancholic thinkers, we wanted art to play a major role: we would champion collaborations between artists and architects.
The Winterschool had run in the first week of January in Glasgow's Arches, the vaulted art space beneath Central Station. More than 600 students attended, coming from as far away as Serbia, with workshop leaders from Canada, California, London and Greece, as well as Glasgow. One workshop, called 'The City as a Living Room', run by Greenock artists and former Clydeside welder George Wylie, saw students build two giant 'wally dugs', 14-foot versions of the ceramic dogs people of a certain age and era would bookend their mantelpieces with. These were towed around Glasgow and placed to frame landmark buildings.
A fortnight after the Winterschool, Strathclyde Regional Council, now defunct, gave us the mothballed Partick Marine police station to show works produced during the week-long festival, alongside new commissions. For two weeks the cells became galleries. One was dressed as a travel agency with desk, telephone and photos of sunny destinations. Another was transformed with smell, its wall tiles covered with used teabags. Another installation used mirrors and a laser from Strathclyde University's Physics department to create a pin-sharp red 'W' (for Winterschool). But the most affecting artwork was in a cell you couldn't get into, one used for violent prisoners.
The heavy metal door was locked - but there was a peephole. When you slipped the cover away, and peered in, the view was horrific: a man strapped to a chair, a hood over his head, struggling, under duress, and bathed in a sickly, pale blue light. The artist responsible was Peter McCaughey (pictured), an Irish trickster who excels in casting doubt. His work unsettles and is full of mystery, and he's still working today. I'll tell you more about him - and why his art is more important now than ever before - next week.
Readers' comments (2)
Many thanks for reviving fond and distant memories of Winterschool all those years ago. I was part of the group working with George Wylie constructing wally dugs and wheeling them through the streets of Glasgow - much to the bemusement of all those who witnessed it. Still not sure how we managed to avoid arrest...
Photographic evidence exists online, I have just discovered:

Cheers Jonathan!
I think I've got a few snaps from back in the day...will try and dig therm out.

Your employees and team members are an integral part of your operation. They reflect on your company and your reputation. Having your team properly and consistently trained and armed with the appropriate reference materials ensures they do the best job possible. To this end, every manager knows that a good training manual is an indispensable tool.
The use of a training manual improves the success of your program by ensuring consistent presentation of material and by acting as a post-training reference. During a training session, the use of a manual frees up trainees to listen to the trainer and focus on the information without having to take notes. After the training is over, keeping the training manual on hand makes sure tasks are performed correctly and with consistency. And it's not just employees and team members who benefit from a good training manual. You may sell a product or software for which a user guide is simply not enough. In that case you will want to provide your customers with a training manual and possibly even a formal training session so that they can derive the full and lasting benefit from the product you have provided them.
DS Techwrite will provide your organisation with quality training manuals which can be used during training and as reference materials in the long term. Our writers will properly analyze the audience and its training needs and design an appropriate training manual in accordance with your organisation's objectives. Keep in mind – your training manual will not be written by a professional writer by trade. Instead, DS Techwrite uses qualified trades people who know your industry and operations. This key distinction is what sustains DS Techwrite as Australia's premiere technical writing service.

Cyprus, Greece, Israel to enhance cooperation on environment
Related Articles
Cyprus, Greece, and Israel have agreed to further enhance cooperation on protecting the environment of the Mediterranean region, followin a meeting between the countries' Agriculture Ministers, a statement from the island's ministry said on Thursday.
The statement said that the proposal was put forward by Cypriot Agriculture Minister Nicos Kouyialis on the sidelines of the trilateral meeting between Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.
In particular, the three Ministers agreed to continue and enhance the cooperation in the areas of the marine environment of the Mediterranean, water resources management, and climate change, the statement said.
At the meeting, the ministers decided that a joint action plan for dealing with likely pollution of the Mediterranean will be completed by May 2017 while a joint exercise may take place in September 2017.
The ministers also agreed to enhance cooperation on water management, best use of processed water, as well as to promote steps and actions to deal with the effects of climate change, CNA reported.
The announcement said that the three ministers also decided that three technical thematic meetings will take place, one in each country, in January 2017 to work on a schedule and an action plan in order to promote the implementation of what has been decided upon.
In March 2017 a trilateral ministerial meeting will take place to "review the progress of technical teams and to give political direction for the steps ahead," the announcement said.

PLSJC Director Alan Hall writes a weekly column discussing library and community news, history, and other interesting subjects.
Security and technology have emerged as two topics of great debate in our society today.
Security has grown to include both physical security in a world of terrorism, and security within the rapidly expanding world offered by technology.
Technology is a broad term used to cover computers, the Internet, and all the expanded capabilities of the gadgets of our world today.
Put the two together, and a subject emerges that covers a multitude of topics.
In the library world, I could never have predicted in my Library School training of the 1970s that our profession would be dealing with, and addressing the topic.
As I view the issue of technology, I see the world divided into two categories by age.
The under-30 age population has experienced technology their whole life, and accept technology simply as part of the fabric of the world.
The over-30 age population, combined with their parents, has experienced the greatest expansion of technology the world has ever experienced.
The refinement of technology in the past 20 years has forced the over-30 age to "acquire" knowledge by learning, and change basic methods of operating in the world.
That is the primary difference in my view, technology that is part of life vs. technology that has been learned.
There appears to be a correlation with the 1974 breakup of the public telephone companies.
Communication with the telephone was simply handled as a public utility.
The Ohio Bell Telephone Company provided a public service of communication, and everything you needed for the service was provided at a regulated cost.
Many of us remember the dial telephone centrally located in our homes, as there was only one in the house.
Today, the over-30 crowd still considers that home phone connected to the world by a wire to be the "real phone." The under-30 crowd walks around with their only phone in their pocket.
The over-30 crowd has learned to use e-mail, but likely checks the spelling and grammar, and views e-mail as a different way of letter writing.
The under-30 crowd uses e-mail as rapid communication, supplanted with text messaging on whatever the latest small device affords to the world.
My over-30 population is suspicious of e-mail even though we use it, since we receive all the junk advertising stocks, insurances, drug sales, and all sorts of odd things.
The under-30 population simply deletes junk mail, and activates software to scrub them out of their life.
And here is where security and technology together crashes into our society.
The under-30 crowd uses technology without consideration for the bigger picture of where that information is going and who can see and use it.
And libraries try to address the needs of both groups with circulation desks and real people, combined with an Internet presence and technology tools.
We can lament about days gone by, but the fact is that our society isn't going to go backward.
Technology can only "fix" security problems of the here and now, by tomorrow it will need another "fix."
The answer is that the over and under-30 people need to learn from each other, and parents need to communicate with their children.
Have you noticed that all of the Ma Bells that were broken apart in the 1970s seem to be coming back together with some old familiar names reappearing on our bills?
