Sometimes I feel money is a little bit disappointing as it can turn best friends against each other.
Sometimes I feel sad when girls can argue over such trivial things which makes their long relationship as nothing.
Sometimes I feel lonely when I am surrounded by friends while I can have the world with only one person.
Sometimes I feel this world is fair enough for everybody but me.
Sometimes I feel tired as I am going to quit tomorrow but simply there is no exit.
And I finally have such strong desire to become a little child once again.!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. This is harder than I thought. For the first couple of meals I felt like a cool person who was trying cool recipes. Now it's a little harder. Of course, I understand that gluten and dairy aren't 'evil' but I've just realized that I eat a lot more of it than I need to, hence the four day cleanse.
For dinner I decided to make crustless quiches or frittatas (whichever you like to call them) and I was delightfully surprised by how great these tasted! Contrary to popular belief, eggs are not dairy so you can indeed eat these on a gluten free dairy free diet.

Today is International Red Panda Day.
Red Pandas are endangered, which is bad, especially since they're the only ones of their family: they're not related to pandas, foxes, racoons, or bears, there's just them, and thanks to depredations to their habitats, there are now less than 10,000 of them in the wild. Nothing this cute should ever go extinct.
No, you can't adopt one and take it home, but you can do this.
Or just google "red panda" and squee. It's that kind of day.

Armitage Besotted called me several nights ago to say, "Get out of your sickbed and look at Marlise Boland's interview with Richard Armitage!" I could hear a grin in Besotted's voice, but I couldn't watch the interview 'cause I was that sick. But the next day I loaded up the two videos, and then sat there with a smile growing on my face while I watched. It seems Marlise has figured out how to get our guy to be very at ease, and I base that on my impressions and some Besotted also pointed out:
- He accepted her compliments about his performance in The Crucible without protest or deflection: "It's the moment when you realize that you're an actor." "It makes you vibrate, and the audience feels it, too." "It's sort of the bit that happens between the writer and the actor channeling it, and it's sort of somewhere in mid- air between you and the audience, and they catch it. It's really the ___ (mumbles an indecipherable word)."
- He spoke on his career and his recent film and theater choices as if he were sitting with a friend: "I'm an ensemble player, and I know it. I'm not a big entertainer, and I'm not somebody who likes to put their head above the parapet, above everybody else." "I feel quite fulfilled actually." "I feel like my career's always been a slow burn. I'm a slow developer. I went to drama school very late. I'm not an impatient person. I'm very, very patient. Id rather have it when it's right than too soon. As long as I'm fulfilled and it's inspiring me, I'm very happy."
- He made a willing admission that he's changing his behavior after visiting Brazil: "Show your emotions." "Show how happy and excited you are." "Show you have a feeling. I've got to say, it felt good."
- His voice and expression were soft and incredulous and intimate when he revealed the highlight of his year: "…the opening night of The Crucible." Pause. "…it's an amazing feeling when an audience gets to their feet." (The smile on my face at this point was huge, and it thrilled me Meg was able to in some respects capture his reaction.)
- He trusted her enough to flirt with her and give her openings:
A: "Do you think you have one question that no one, no one would have asked?" M: "Thorin: boxers or briefs?" A: "Neither." Pause, louder: "Neither." Both giggle.
A: "Thorin's Box of Joy — sounds a bit rude," said with a bit of a leer.
Besotted and I went on to talk about how proud we are of Marlise. Like her we are both women entrepreneurs who have run successful businesses and know how incredibly hard that is. It's always hard to start with nothing or almost nothing and make something. Then to be out there on your own doing it over and over again without an institution or a machine is one helluva piece of work and requires someone to be sharp almost 24/7. Mostly it requires someone to have a personality that can inspire trust and confidence. I would say Marlise Boland has done that very well with Richard Armitage.
If I'm being really candid, I would say she's done what some of us have longed to do — sit down and have a chat with Richard and one where he's not just rattling off the standard responses. Oh sure, some of the things he said in this interview he has said before, but there was an ease and sincerity and a type of intimacy with Marlise that was striking.
And it should come as no surprise that I had a favorable reaction to Marlise's interview considering what I've said earlier.
Thank you, and keep it up. You Go, Girl!
A new fan
P.S. I should have written something about your first interviews with RA which I also liked, and these new ones are even better.
For those who may not know, I call these cyber letters of mine "fake fan letters" because when I write them, I usually have no expectation the addressees will see them. It's merely another way to express what I'm thinking, and yes, sometimes they're done for a laugh. This one is very sincere.
Note: very often in this fandom, I have refrained from reading or hearing what others think before I can take my own impressions of something. Of course nothing is ever assessed without any influence from elsewhere in my life, but I try to remain free for a time of other fans' thoughts. I was tempted to read the take others had on this interview given the angst from quite a few months ago. I even momentarily clicked on some links and then immediately backed out. Now that I've said what I think, I will take some time to peruse other posts, and if our group is anything like in the past, I'll agree with some, disagree with others, but I'm sure all of it will make me think.
I hope all of you are doing well, and I want you to know that I am grateful to those of you who kept reading my neglected blog and to those of you who sent me prayers and words of encouragement. It did encourage me. Thank you again!
For those who haven't seen the interview, there you go:

These have become my favorite interviews … I hope there will be many more. I could watch them both chatting like friends all day.
Yes … I'd love to be in that situation where RA felt comfortable with me :)
Dear Frenz,
Per usual, I feel the same way. I'm happy to are RA relaxed with his new friend, Marlise. Having met Marlise briefly this summer, I can tell you she is the real deal. She is gracious, charming and she is lovely to behold.
This community of well-wishers comes in all shapes and sizes. It is wonderful to know that we can all come together to support others' creative efforts as well as charitable causes.
I say to all, well done. Very well done.
Much love and healing wishes from this side of this great land of ours. Xo
I'm glad you are back into the land of the living- what a siege you've been through. Hope all of your family is improving as well….
I definitely enjoyed these interviews! And her 1st interviews were one of the very 1st ones I saw when I started looking for info about RA- So I have a bias toward Marlise :) I also agree with a lot of what Linnet had to say too.
It seems clear that RA likes Marlise, and they have both helped each other in some respects. I haven't caught up on all the press tour interviews, but I agree with you that a lot of these comments he made to her seem new, at least in tone if not in content (if that makes sense?) I think he can have a higher level of comfort with her because she doesn't work for someone else as most journalists do. And I in fact see her as more of a fan who is trying to build her web business than as a trained journalist. I also don't believe for one second that access will somehow be limited to Marlise in the future, as some have concern about- I can't figure out how that would benefit Richard, so I don't even see it as a live possibility.
I just think it's all good & there's room at the RA table for all of us :) Happy Saturday! (I'll also have to read what you wrote in March, I wasn't here then :)
I've already posted some of my thoughts on this topic elsewhere. I just wanted to say I'm so happy to hear from you and and I hope your health is improving.
Speaking of rocks, reading this blog post is like finding a rock of common sense and generosity of spirit in a sea of jealousy and pettiness (aimed not only at Ms. Boland, but at Ms. Dunn). I'm exhausted from fighting the high seas of unnecessary analysis and the battering waves of bitchery. So THANK YOU for this.
I make no secret that I enjoy the Anglophile interviews. They are really far preferable to the triteness of the interviews on the rest of the press junket and the slightly unpleasant atmosphere of some recent interviews by UK journos.
They're a little different from the interviews with greendragon (which also show a great rapport between interviewer and interviewee) or the classic interview at Vulpis Libris, but I prefer these because of the fun that seems to be going on.
We all need fun, now more than ever and RA is no exception.
In fairness, I should add that you're not the only island of sane. Here's another
It is good to know this interview put a smile on your face as it did for many of us who may not have needed a lift quite as much as you. I hope you have more and more to smile about in both an RA and personal context.
Thanks for this blogpost! I completely concur with you- loved the interview- a breath of fresh air amongst so many boring interviews.
One can like this style of interviewing or not, but there's no reason for such vitriolic criticism. My gut feeling tells me that Richard really enjoyed the informal atmosphere ( but of course I didn't (over)analyse it in depth ;-) ).
I wish you and your family a speedy recovery and Merry Christmas!
Good to have you back!
Common sense and fun – sounds like a good blog for me now to follow and ditch the ones that causes pain last week!
Btw, I'm sure that there are more RA blogs than just two that have received this interview positively, or they haven't blogged about it so far. I just haven't found them yet (in my relatively shallow blog-reading), and there's so much negatively everywhere else in the fandom that I was ecstatic to find these positive posts. I'm glad to hear of any other other happy posts.
Cill, you nailed it on the head! Expressed my thoughts exactly!
Frenz, I am in complete agreement with you! BTW, feel better soon!
I love Marlise. She was incredibly kind the two times that I have met her. I hope she keeps doing these interviews. They are fun and let us see a very relaxed Richard.

"Our tribute to the heroic past is its armies in miniature, today." Recreating a 1970s Wargame army using 20mm vintage figures.
Sunday, 22 February 2015
Fall in the 42nd
I just need to finish the detail on the top of the flag poles and then base the whole lot up before they can take their place in the British order of battle ready for Vintage Waterloo.
According to Roy things are progressing well (only he could email me with the line "I found 24 painted Old Guard today") and at some point in the next month or two we intend to get together for a dry run and to thrash out the details of the game.

Frankly when I look at the detail you have managed three months seems pretty quick. I have never managed a unit of highlanders in one go, usually I put them aside for a few months before renewing the energy to tackle them.
I am very impressed by the kilts but especially the socks, well in fact all of them. I have seen some fantastic 20mm figures in Old Johns collection painted by Peter Gilder, but these are as good as any. Congratulations.

Fitness after pregnancy: I used to be an athlete; once upon a time it was my life. Now my life is my baby girl and it has been hard to accommodate the two. This blog is my attempt to get back my fit lifestyle because I owe it to my little girl to live that way. Also, I'm hoping that my experience and experiences can act as some kind of inspiration for fellow parents wanting to get back their pre-baby fitness or just be fit!

Nineteen - Mummy be not too unfit after all!
My first mountain-bike race since pre-Willow times.
And, wow, did I love it! More than I remember loving it. This sport is fantastic! I'm back and I'm loving it!
There is a local mountain-bike series held in the deep east of Kent. Where the land is flat, the terrain is bleak and the wind and the weather are more than unforgiving. Many a day have I spent fighting the relentless gales and the pelting rain on the Fowlmead track. But equally, I have spent many an evening riding twisty and tight singletrack; kicking up dust; and, in humidity and heat.
I'm trying to describe Fowlmead. A country park found near Sandwich, Kent. A country park that only knows extremes. And, its latest extreme, applies to my elatedness!
Last Thursday, I raced round 2 of the Fowlmead Summer Sizzler. I hadn't raced one of these since 2009 and I was incredibly anxious about how well I would cope with riding my bike at threshold and above for more than an hour. Forget the racing!
In true Gemma-now-a-mum style, Nick was building my bike the night before. How things have changed from the precision I used to apply to bike maintenance! I was out riding it that Wednesday evening at about 10pm just to check the gears didn't slip; and they did. But, so what! I was going to race - no matter!
And I did! And, I am so glad I did.
I felt like a bit of a novice: I didn't know where to sign in; I had to ask which direction around the track the race would be going; I had to beg help with my slipping gears; I forgot to wear my timing chip ... In fact, I had forgotten mountain-bike racing in its entirety. I even went to the back of the line forming at the start because I felt so new to the sport.
But this newness is similar to how I felt when I discovered mountain-biking.
With the blast of the gun, everything I ever knew did return and I felt like I was me 3 years ago. Only slower. But, strangely, not that much slower. In fact, I was surprised to be as strong as I was - but, every mother knows that it ain't easy spending 50% of your day with a 12kg weight attachment. However, I was first lady and very surprised to be ahead of my very own first mountain-bike mentor, Debbie Burton. (No doubt she'll make me pay for this at some point.) And, I was 18th, I think, out of the whole field. I used be a top 10 finisher ... But I mustn't dwell on what I used to be.
I am, now, a proud mountain-bike racing mummy. And, my smile, from Thursday's race, was stuck for the rest of the night and some of Friday ... (yes, some of Friday - working with Willow's sickness bug depleted my enthusiasm for anything except curling up on the floor.)
Anyway, one week on - I STILL LOVE THIS SPORT!
Thank you, Dave Hayward, you made me look like a racer in your photo! xxx

Great report, great race, you did so well, can't believe it's nearly all turbo stuff you've been doing! Do you remember once telling me that I was the same age as your mum? You made me feel it as you went past! ;-) xReplyDeleteReplies
I can't believe my mum is the same age as you - you could whip my mountain-biking behind if you really wanted to! Mrs B is a legend! In the cool, hip, trendy kid sense! Lol! Thank you, Debbie xxxDelete

As you look to trade on London stock exchange and other stock markets in the world, it is important to think of a good plan to follow. This is what wealth management is all about. You need to prepare yourself well for the business ahead. Wealth management is an art that requires a lot of dedication and training. You must put in place tactics and strategies that will lead to success in investment. Wealth management in itself is a science of multiplying wealth. If you do things right, you are going to be a successful investor.
Wealth management took speed in the 90s when globalization was at its peak. It enabled wealthy individuals to have professionals take care of their wealth while they rest and focus on other matters in their lives. In that regard, professional wealth managers take their time to assess investments on behalf of investors so that they can identify new opportunities. They do their analysis well so that they do not err on making good investments. Many investors around the world have discovered the good work done by these professionals in the course of their work.
When looking for better ways to make investments, wealth managers looks at all openings in the market before determining their best options. In Japan and America, wealth managers have their work cut out for they have access to information on the stock market. With journals, websites, and reports that guide investors on securities. A wealth manager must verify that the stock they are purchasing is viable enough before spending money. This is very important for it can enable them to make money with the investment. With a lot of analysis and feasibility studies, these professionals are able to identify the stock.
Creating new investment projects is a matter of science rather than business as far as wealth managers are concerned. These professionals use statistics, data analysis and financial accounts to determine the investments to make. They do all this in order to be sure that they will make good headways where they want to make investments. Also, the managers have done other prior investments before and thus are experienced a lot. They can predict further market conditions with a high degree of accuracy.
Diversification has also enabled wealth managers to secure investments for their clients. Instead of putting money in few investments, they diversify them to different sectors so as to minimize risks. This reduces risks involved in doing business as a collapse of one sector does not necessarily mean that you lose all your investments. You can look at this in the analogy of putting all your eggs in one basket. If the basket falls, your eggs will break thereby causing you a huge loss. However, if you divided all your eggs and put them in different baskets, the risks could have been minimized. This is how wealth managers are able to protect people's wealth. From their services, you can grow your assets to the maximum. This is important as we all want to earn more money than we have.

Port Neches Police remind citizens on golf cart protocol
Port Neches Police Department released a statement Monday, June 11 reminding citizens about the ordinance regarding the operation of golf carts. This reminder comes after PNPD received numerous complaints concerning golf carts on city streets.
PNPD made a point to remind citizens that golf carts are considered motor vehicles and are mostly subject to the same rules of the road. Drivers of golf carts must have a driver's license and liability insurance on the cart. There is also no texting allowed while driving the vehicle. Golf carts are not to be driven on sidewalks and can only be driven on a street with a speed limit posted 35 or less, unless it is through an intersection. All passengers must be seated while the vehicle is in operation and only as many as the vehicle is designed to seat.
City of Port Neches approved Ordinance 2011-07 which regulated the operation of golf carts within city limits on June 2, 2011.

Willow Releases Promo Video For 'Whip My Hair'
Willow Smith is making sure she stays fresh is people's minds.
Just over a week after releasing her "Whip My Hair" single, followed by the official announcement of her signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, and then a clip of her at Ryan Seacrest's radio show with her new labelhead on the call, Willow Smith has released a "Whip My Hair" teaser video.
The promotional cut is made up of photos of Willow -- both press and casual -- backed by her catchy single, "Whip My Hair." The nine-year-old is seen laying out, effortlessly posing for the camera and being an active kid, all the while sporting flashy outfits and different hair-dos.
No word yet on when an official video for the single will be released, but, this is definitely a good lead to it.

Limit your title to 50 characters or fewer. Keep it short and simple, but engaging. Attendees should be able to discern your presentation topic from just the title. Spend a minute or two thinking about the most important aspects of your presentation and try to convey the tone of your session. Boring titles imply boring content, so make it interesting! (Used Car Week reserves the right to change session titles as necessary.)
In 100 words or fewer, tell attendees why they should attend your session. And if it's a workshop, why YOUR workshop is the one to choose over the others running concurrently. What will you cover in your session, and what knowledge can they expect to gain? Be specific!
Provide 2-3 brief statements of knowledge you intend to share with attendees. What do you hope to achieve with your session? What do you want your attendees to walk away having learned?
What types of attendees will get the most out of your session? Who do you think should attend? Be specific about the types of job roles to which your session will speak most directly.
Fill out the complete speaker information form in the way your speaker would like to be registered for the event and as they would like their name and title to appear on the agenda. In the event that your submission is accepted, we will register your speakers using this information. The headshot and bio you submit will be used on our agenda and in our printed materials.
Share a link to a short video (no more than 60 seconds) of your speaker discussing the proposed session. This is a great way to give us a glimpse into the kind of energy and excitement that you'll bring to the table, especially if you haven't presented with us before. And if you have presented with us in the past, it's a great way to share with us what fresh, new energy and content you'll bring this year.
Feel free to share with us anything else that you'd like us to know! Let us know what you would bring to the discussion that is unique and fresh and why we should choose you to be a part of our event.

I regularly visit a number of model making web sites, and one of the things that has interested me lately is a weathering technique called 'Chipping'. Chipping is, in it's simplest form, the technique of representing the bare metal that appears in worn down areas of a vehicle.
There are a number of different methods of chipping, but the one I've been using on my Chieftain, in my opinion, is the easiest but one of the most effective ones. Simply put, it is just a matter of using an ordinary graphite pencil (in this case a Staedtler HB) to, quite literally 'draw on' the bare metal effect!
Here are a couple of pictures, the 'Chipped' areas are the areas which appear to be shinier than the rest of the model.
The next thing I will be doing is to finish off the weathering of the tank's tracks.

Read some of the great things that our patients at Worth Hearing Center have to say about us.
Worth Hearing Center Testimonials
Patient Testimonials
When a brat gets religion and people who care about his well being, he is blessed with the most amazing change in life. That's me. My quality of life has changed 100% thanks to all of you. Truly an act of talent and TLC. You people should get the Nobel Prize! I am sure that you will share in Dr. Albert Edge's discovery of the regeneration of hair cells in the cochlea soon. I shall give one of your cards and a pitch to every motorcycle person I see. You ought to have more than one niche in the miracle of an old, but necessary human sense. God bless you all and many, many thanks for your treatments, your application of knowledge and your extreme care.
I was extremely pleased with my experience with Worth Hearing. I had previously visited a different practice and got no resolution to my issue. Cathy listened to me, empathized and validated my experience. She knew exactly what to do and recommend and got me hearing at a much better level right away. I would recommend you all to everyone I know!
Ever since I got my hearing device, my life has changed 100%. When I take my hearing aid off, the madness [tinnitus] has decreased 90%. I feel sane again. I hear clearly, I sleep better, and I'm in a better mood all the time. I don't know what took me so long to take the fishhooks out of my pockets; it is the best investment I have made in years. Why wait when you know you need it? Awesome job. Awesome service. I call and I need help, and you are right there for me. Thank you, Tinnitus Specialists of New Mexico. Thank you, Dr. Beauchamp!
My sincere thanks for your truly professional approach and caring concern in providing me with the best advice any hard-of-hearing person could expect. In fact, even after my visit, I've experienced better hearing than I've had in a long time! I know that I'm in good hands now! Thank you so much!
I love the hearing aids I received from Worth Hearing Center. It's nice to be able to adjust the volume since I use them in loud crowds as well as in quiet settings. They are amazing and I seem to be adjusting well to the different sounds.
My hearing loss precluded me from participating fully in my activities. After Cathy listened to what my needs were and fit me with new hearing aids, I could talk on the phone, listen to music, and participate in class. I was able to function again in the world!
I feel like I hear so well again after years of problems. I also appreciate the ongoing care provided at Worth Hearing.
The service here is fantastic. You always do back flips for me!
I attend a lot of meetings and have been unable to hear questions and comments. I felt very lost. After Worth Hearing Center checked my hearing and fitted me with my hearing aids, my hearing improved by 100%. It absolutely changed my life. Now I can hear compliments, discussions, and, most importantly, my friends. I feel very blessed.
I absolutely love my new hearing aids; I had no idea what I have been missing with the old hearing aids provided by the VA Hospital. I also must compliment the professional, charming and enthusiastic manner that Dr. Callie Beauchamp performed her job. After retiring from 25 years at the Center for Disease Control & Prevention, and having met so many doctors of all specialties, Dr. Beauchamp is one of a kind and I am very grateful that she was my Doctor of Audiology! Although I can get free treatment at the VA Hospital, I will stay with Dr. Beauchamp because I know I am getting superior care and treatment. Thank you so very much, you are the best of the best!
Hearing aids have changed my life! As I gradually lost my hearing, I strained more and more to hear people. Finally I just got physically tired and stopped trying. It affected my performance at work and my personal relationships badly because it is rude to ignore people. That is exactly what I was doing. Thanks to the care of Worth Hearing my hearing aids gave me new life and energy. My performance at work increased and I was given more responsibilities with more pay. Friends and family, who were actually worried that I was losing my memory, now know I'm sharp as a tack. I am so glad that I got over what I thought would be the embarrassment of hearing aids when I was only 55 and have the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest. And the hearing aids of today are not your grandmother's hearing aids. They are comfortable and easy to wear. Don't waste any time, please. Get your hearing tested and get on with a rewarding life. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.
I was in Worth Hearing Center to see about the loss of hearing and pressure in my right ear, which they quickly determined was caused by an impaction. Your brief procedure with a curette and a few days on Debrox solved the problem and two months of misery was lifted, with my hearing 100% restored. Worth was quick to schedule my visit and the cost was very reasonable, a true benefit to one who is uninsured, and unemployed for over a year. Thank you so much for your timely and excellent service. I will recommend Worth to anyone I encounter with hearing or ear maladies.
For so long I would misunderstand certain words and thought what people would say sounded funny. I had forgotten what "clarity" was until I got my hearing aid. It was actually exciting to hear clearly when Catherine put the aid in my ear. Clarity is the key to hearing well. Our hearing is truly a gift!
What Dr. Callie Beauchamp did for me is amazing. I knew I wasn't hearing as good as I should be. I didn't realize how much I had been missing until Dr. Beauchamp fit me with the Oticon hearing aids. Suddenly I could hear little things that I had forgotten about. It had gotten to the point that when I was shopping I avoided talking to anyone. Now I feel comfortable talking to everyone. I can carry on conversations without having to say "what" and I don't' feel like I'm missing out. Thank God for my husband getting tired of repeating himself and finding Worth Hearing.
You folks do a great job! My mother is having much less trouble following the plots of her favorite TV shows now. Early yesterday morning, for the first time in several years, she was able to hear one of the pair of hawks that live in our large cottonwoods call to its mate (as they have done early every morning for years). She heard them from indoors! I was so happy for her. She was missing out on so much before she got her new hearing aids. Thank you!

The State Worker
The State Worker: The man who honed California civil service laws
Retired Judge Loren McMaster died last Thursday at age 71 after a long illness and a storied legal career.
But his impact is largely unknown outside the law and labor communities, even though his work has affected every California government employee for the last 41 years.
"Loren was always on the side of working people," said Bruce Blanning, executive director of the state engineers' union.
McMaster was a labor attorney for John Skelly, a 64-year-old Department of Healthcare Services doctor fired in 1972 for "intemperance, inexcusable absences and other failures." In sum, the doctor took extended lunch breaks and disappeared from work without explanation.
Skelly's bosses warned him verbally and in writing. Then a suspension. He was fired when an administrator saw Skelly at a bar with a drink during work hours, hair tousled, his arm around a woman.
McMaster and his client appealed to the State Personnel Board. They lost. Ditto in civil court, where McMaster argued Skelly was denied due process rights. Until then, the state's Civil Service Act allowed government employers to discipline workers without giving them a chance to see the evidence and respond.
Eventually Skelly v. State Personnel Board went to the California Supreme Court, which agreed Skelly should have received "procedural protections" before he lost his job. Since that 1975 ruling, state and local government employees get a "Skelly hearing" to rebut alleged misbehavior before they are actually disciplined.
Any time you protect public servants from arbitrary action, it's not a just protection for the employees, it's a protection for the public. Otherwise, it's all politics.
Bruce Blanning, executive director of Professional Engineers in California Government
Two decades later, McMaster was again before the high court to argue that then-Gov. Pete Wilson's administration was illegally contracting engineering services at Caltrans, even when it was more expensive. The civil service principles that forbade government job patronage, McMaster said, also applied to doling out government work to outside contractors, absent sound reasons.
A Supreme Court of mostly Republican gubernatorial appointees agreed with McMaster's PECG v. Department of Transportation arguments.
Later, as a Sacramento judge, McMaster was the target of a recall effort after he ruled state domestic partners law did not violate a voter-approved 2000 declaration that marriage is limited to a man and a woman. The recall effort, like an appeal of his ruling, went nowhere.
"Loren was a brilliant legal mind," said attorney Steve Bassoff, a friend since 1983.
What is McMaster's legacy? An enhanced civil service? Or coddled government workers? Blanning, who is admittedly biased, said McMaster's impact goes beyond either.
"Any time you protect public servants from arbitrary action, it's not a just protection for the employees, it's a protection for the public," Blanning said. "Otherwise, it's all politics."
Loren McMaster surely would have agreed.

text: Florida students are working on drone technology that could identify and disrupt potential school shooters. A local inventor named Skip Parish came up with the idea after developing drone technology for the military. In the wake of the Feb. 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Parish approached the Manatee Technical College in Bradenton, Florida, for help. Students there are now working on a drone prototype with Parish and Lumenier, a video-piloting company, to create a small drone that would use AI and facial recognition to identify active shooters. During emergency situations, the drone would be able to alert law enforcement officers, who could then launch and control the device. Speakers fitted onto the drone could also distract potential shooters. They hope to develop a product that could be manufactured commercially. - TAMPA BAY TIMES

mistakes i've made. and hopefully learned from. and those i keep making.
1. packing four cans of red bull into my luggage
2. sarcastically telling someone at a party that you are supposed to shake hands with your right hand duh! – only to find out he was missing his right arm
3. refusing to buy thermals or wool socks (or any kind of appropriate winter attire) while living in maine. it's a wonder my toes didn't fall off from frost bite.
4. thinking that i couldn't get sunburnt on a florida beach on an overcast day.
5. flushing a whole salmon down the toilet in an attempt to clean out the fridge.
6. entering in a coloring competition under my brother's name. (he 'won', got his picture in the paper and his prize was a bed shaped like a racecar.)
7. overdosing on citric acid – resulting in 'cwipple lip'
8. ironing pants while wearing them
9. flushing plastic fruit (props for a play) down the toilet backstage of my highschool auditorium. (uhm. do we see a theme here?)
10. driving headfirst into a tree on my 16th birthday
11. underestimating the black diamond run at the mt. hutt ski slopes
12. cutting all my hair off in an attempt to look like winona ryder
mistakes i keep making and obviously not learning from:
1. when breaking the fast i THINK i can eat more than i actually can. but yet inevitably i pile up my plate and eat it rapidly with glee and then suffer the feeling of being way too full for the rest of the night. so full that i have to lay on my back on the carpet of my living room floor and in awe that i was ever hungry in the first place. moral of the story: slow down. chew. take breaths. eat half and wait a bit.
2. driving too fast. i don't think i can get out of any more speeding tickets. i've used up all good and lame excuses.
3. writing stuff on my blog that causes my mum to worry. see #2.
4. asking for my coffee to be extra hot and then burning my tongue on it when my order is made correctly.
5. never being prepared for the weather. i lack an umbrella on rainy days and sunglasses on sunny days. it would make sense to carry both at all times – especially in nashville where the weather changes every hour – but that would mean being prepared and i like to live on the edge ;) actually, i just don't like carrying stuff.
6. buying orchids. let's face it – they are high maintanance plants and not one i have had has lived for longer than two weeks. it's time to quit.
7. when they say to get to the airport two hours in advance it's actually not a formality. i should at least TRY to get there so i don't have to keep doing the frantic mad dash to the gate
8. not reading washing instructions resulting in many a shrunken item of clothing
9. keeping the volume up on my speakers at work which means i get busted with a very loud DING every time someone tries to message me using g-chat
10. not getting salt and vinegar chips for dinner when that is all i really want. succumb to the craving already!

Gol…getting to the airport 2 hours early IS way overrated. I refuse. Cute D. thinks it's a grand idea for me to come to Knoxville next week. We are working on tickets.

because of where i was born and because my only nightmares ARE ABOUT MISSING FLIGHTS, i tend to arrive at airports at least three hours before my flight leaves.

Once you have a dimmer switch for your dining room, odds are you'll never want to go back to a simple on-off light switch. Why would you want to choose between a brightness suitable for doing a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, or utter darkness? No, you want to adjust the brightness (or dimness) to just the right level. So why should I have to choose between all-on or all-off on the behavioral/demographic profile that companies build to target ads at me? Continue reading We need a dimmer knob for behavioral tracking

Modern politics sure is entertaining sometimes, especially when one politically correct cause threatens another one as in Norway where that country's moose population is being blamed for contributing to global warming:
The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of methane a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.
Norway is concerned that its national animal, the moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching and farting.
Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway's technical university, said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year.
Much like cows, bacteria in a moose's stomach create methane gas which is considered even more destructive to the environment than carbon gas. Cows pose the same problem.
Still, I don't see too much of a conflict emerging between PETA types and Al Gore followers since solving the "moose problem" doesn't involve restrictive government regulations and expensive government programs they can profit from.

This article was written by Sophie Rosen of DivorcedMoms.com.
Being a single mother almost always means a life spent racing the clock. Our days often begin well before dawn and extend long past sundown. In between, our schedules are filled with the rigors and challenges of balancing career, child rearing, and homemaking.
An evening spent with a great guy is something I know I always look forward to. But what guys think is a dating hot spot may be, for a single mom, a surefire dating not-not.
Here are 5 places never to take a single mom on a first date.
1. A fondue restaurant. Who wouldn't love to cook her own meal? Someone who does it every day, three times a day, and on weekends! The last thing I want to see is raw chicken and steak sitting on my plate in a restaurant. And at the table where I will eat, no less! I can cook comfortably (and safely) at home, where I have my Windex within close reach for added measure. I'm also pretty sure a guy will not find my extreme use of hand sanitizer at the table very sexy. And, if on the off-chance I do contract salmonella, I will definitely not remember him fondly. Thanks, but no thanks.
More from The Stir: 10 Tips for Dating a Single Mom
2. The movies. Guys may think sitting in a dark movie theater next to a woman is romantic. There's a little hand holding, maybe some smooching. But not necessarily true for a single mom. We are always exhausted. Always. And sleep comes at a premium. Give us a cushy chair in a warm, dark theater, and chances are it will be lights out within minutes. Not even a shirtless Ryan Gosling could wake this single mama when I'm down for the count. Of course, I know I'll be seeing him in my dreams. But I digress ...
3. The mall. Okay, it's not 1987, and we're not in high school anymore. Unless a guy tells me for a fact that Jon Bon Jovi will be walking around the mall with his '80s glam rock hair signing autographs, I'm not game. As a single mom, the mall is merely a reminder of too many ill-fated, temper-tantrum-ridden trips to The Gap and desperate attempts to feed whining, hungry kids at a packed food court circa holiday time. I definitely won't be looking to make out with him under the escalator on this date.
4. Walgreens. We're not in college anymore, and I don't hook up. I'm a single mom. I have children, for goodness' sake! A guy should buy protection before our date, not during, or he will surely find himself in need of some serious protection from one pissed mutha. Talk about a mood killer. Sheesh.
More from The Stir: 5 Tips for Surviving Relationships After Divorce
5. The shared marital home. I don't care how amicable a guy claims his divorce is. I will not be comfortable kissing him on the same couch where his ex watches episodes of Cougar Town four nights a week. Even worse will be if I admire the way his ex lives. If I like her choice in paint colors. Her Ralph Lauren furniture. Because maybe, just maybe, if her lifestyle reminds me too much of my own, I may just grow to like her. And, as we know, single moms can never have too many friends!
Where is the worst place a guy ever took you on a date?

A few years ago, I was planning a party, and searching online for a unique dip recipe. I found one on allrecipes.com titled "Mary's Roasted Red Pepper Dip" and decided to give it a try. It came out amazing and it's been a staple at my parties ever since.
The recipe has only a few ingredients (roasted peppers, cream cheese, dijon, monterey jack, and a few others) and is very easy to make. I've tried it using jarred roasted peppers vs. roasting them myself, and you can't tell the difference. I've pureed the peppers in a food processor with the other ingredients, to give the dip a smooth texture, and also tried it just chopping the peppers, which made it more chunky. Either way was delicious.
It's great straight from the oven, bubbly and browned, or at room temperature. I also had a friend who used the leftover dip as a pasta sauce which also turned out great. Give it a try at your next shindig.

"LOST" RETROSPECT: (2.09) "What Kate Did"
Kate Austen has to be one of the most divisive characters on the ABC series,
. The character has generated some very extreme reactions from the show's fans. The latter have either loved her অথবা hated her. I had harbored a good deal of dislike toward Kate, myself for a long period. However, my dislike stemmed from the writers' handling of her character and a good number of the fans' attitude toward the mistakes and crimes she had committed. A good example of this attitude could be found in the general reaction to the Season Two episode called

Tom a.k.a. Mr. Friendly likes to get friendly with high class Latino male escorts. I, for one, am not surprised. I knew he was gay when he told Kate that she was "not [his] type". I bet Tom volunteered to go on missions off the Island a lot. It's got to be pretty lonely being the only gay Other. At least Juliet could hook up with Goodwin and Ben could watch sullenly.

EURUSD Wave analysis and forecast for 30.06 – 07.07
Wave analysis and forecast for 30.06 – 07.07: Uptrend continues.
Estimated pivot point is at the level of 1.1313.
Analysis: Presumably, on the four-hour timeframe the formation of the uptrend continues as third wave of the senior level 3. At the moment, it seems that the fifth wave v of 3 is being formed, within which correction (ii) has completed and the third wave of the junior level (iii) is being developed. If this assumption is correct, the pair may continue to rise up to the levels of 1.1550 – 1.1650. Critical level for this scenario is 1.1313.
Alternative scenario: Breakdown and consolidation of the price below the level of 1.1313 may trigger further decline in the pair to 1.1245.

Stagecoach Group is launching a major drive next week (31 May – 4 June) to help Britain go green, with a week of environmental awareness activities taking place across its bus and rail businesses, including East Midlands Trains.
The Perth-based transport group will use the week to highlight the environmental benefits of using public transport as well as informing staff and passengers of ways in which Stagecoach is reducing its own carbon footprint.
Since the inaugural Stagecoach Green Week in 2009, the company has made significant strides in its drive to take action on climate change. In March, Stagecoach became the first Scottish-based transport company to be awarded the prestigious Carbon Trust Standard after reducing the carbon intensity of its UK businesses by 5.7%* in the three years to 30 April 2009.
And the Group recently launched a new sustainability strategy 'Revolution in the Way We Travel' which outlined an £11million green investment programme and set a range of environmental targets for Stagecoach's bus and rail businesses over the next five years.
East Midlands Trains also recently launched its first Environmental Plan, which sets out the company's strategy for managing its environmental impact and outlines a number of green objectives.
Launching Green Week 2010, Stagecoach Group Chief Executive Brian Souter said: "We want to play our part in helping Britain go green. Going by bus and train can save people time and money - as well as cutting their carbon footprint. We hope Green Week will help highlight the benefits of greener, smarter travel and show what we are doing as a company to make our business more sustainable."
Throughout Green Week, staff and passengers across all areas of the business are being invited to participate in a variety of awareness-raising activities.
At East Midlands Trains, a number of activities are planned with stations, offices and maintenance depots all taking part. Information on green issues will be provided to East Midlands Trains' employees throughout the week as well as advice on ways in which they can reduce their carbon footprint both at work and at home. Eco-idea sessions will be held for staff along with manager Q&A sessions and employee competitions, and East Midlands Trains employees will be handing out eco-friendly giveaways to passengers on the network, including information on the company's green achievements over the past 12 months.
Stagecoach is also searching for the 2010 Stagecoach Green Champion – an employee nominated by his or her colleagues who is felt to be contributing significantly to reducing the company's carbon footprint.
Stagecoach reports annually on its carbon emissions and discloses its global carbon footprint to the Carbon Disclosure Project, the world's largest corporate greenhouse gas emissions database.
Highlights and achievements at East Midlands Trains to date have included:

This post was originally published on this site
For many publishers, e-commerce is a way of diversifying revenue streams in the face of dwindling ad sales. For Gay Times, e-commerce has helped it avoid folding: It's the title's fastest-growing revenue stream and has initiated more commercial partnerships with retailers.
In March, CEO James Frost bought Gay Times from parent company Millivres Prowler for £250,000 ($318,000). Frost has since invested an additional £500,000 ($636,000) to help bring the 35-year-old print title up to speed with competitors like Attitude, while keeping his eye on the bottom line.
"Every touch point is an opportunity to sell something," he said, explaining that as part of the transition, the site has split out new verticals in money, fitness, travel and video, making it a more suitable environment for advertisers and e-commerce. "It's a stable of brand extensions," he added. "I want to make the brand pervasive."
The team is small, with 13 full-time staff, three of whom are new commercial hires, including commercial director Christopher Kenna. Early results are encouraging: Frost said Gay Times' commercial revenue doubled last month. As it stands, one-third of its revenue comes from print subscriptions and newsstands, and one-third is from ads and commercial sales. Events and e-commerce supply the rest.
In six months, e-commerce has grown from zero to one-fifth of the publisher's total revenue. Frost predicts it will provide one-third of Gay Times' revenue by year's end, buoyed by launching commerce capabilities in the U.S. and a dedicated shopping app that will debut in the next few months. Gay Times sells over 2 million items, ranging from technology to sportswear to luxury home items, aggregated into feeds from about a hundred different merchants, including John Lewis, Asos and Topshop, shown as a searchable catalog. Users are directed to the retailer's site to carry out sales.
By year's end, Frost predicts Gay Times will facilitate £1 million ($1.27 million) a month in e-commerce sales. Last month, it sold about £700,000 ($891,000) in goods.
Gay Times has white-labeled the tech platform from shopping platform Octer, a company in which Frost also invests, which takes the strain off the small publisher, but also means it hands over half of its 5 percent commission from merchants to Octer.
Rarely do publishers handle the operational side of e-commerce, opting instead for affiliate link models and revenue shares with retailers, although players like BuzzFeed have acquired companies to manufacture and ship products.
For Gay Times, the most popular line items are clothes; items from retailer Asos made up £270,000 ($344,000) of last month's sales. This encouraged the commercial team to approach Asos for a campaign for New York City Pride at the end of June. For the campaign, Gay Times has recruited seven creators, each one with an artistic background (including art, music and tattooing), from its own social platforms. (Gay Times has 1.5 million Facebook followers.) During the Pride March, the creators will each host their own 30-minute live stream talking about their lives in the context of Pride and New York. The videos will be co-branded with Asos and will overlay the retailer's shop-the-look feature.
"This shows the way we have changed the position of our portfolio," said Frost, adding it's a far cry from selling pages in a magazine.
Gay Times also sends a weekly shopping newsletter to 50,000 people featuring five of the most-read style guides of the week. These are created by a dedicated member of the four-person editorial team and include tips like three wears to make black work this summer or 10 sportswear pieces that work in and out of the gym, with the items presented for purchase below the article.
The title is venturing into vacations, too. Half of the 19 spots are already booked for the first trip, a cruise in Croatia during October. Gay Times gets 10 percent of the commission from these trips, and the rest goes to partner Focus Travel. "We drive the itineraries of the holidays using our experience," said Frost. "Otherwise, why bother booking with us?"
Frost said the jury is still out on how successful selling trips will be at driving revenue. It has already tried — and failed — to sell a three-day wine-tasting tour in Italy, which cost around £1,500 ($1,900). "I think it was too rich for people's appetites," he said. "We have to be able to scale it. If something doesn't work, we'll move on."
