Water hemisphere
The water hemisphere is the hemisphere on the Earth with the highest area of water. It is centered on 47°13′S 178°28′E, near New Zealand.[1][2] The other half of the Earth is the land hemisphere.
The water hemisphere has only one-eighth of the world's land,.[1] Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, a small part of Southeast Asia and the southern part of South America are in the water hemisphere. Most of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean are on the water hemisphere. The area of the oceans of the water hemisphere is much higher than its land area, but the area of the oceans of the land hemisphere is still higher than its land area.

Official release from Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory is delighted to announce that it has formed an exciting new three-year partnership with Football Federation Tasmania (FFT) that will see Australia's biggest football club have a substantial presence on the Apple Isle from 2013.
The deal means Melbourne Victory will make a significant financial contribution to FFT's new state-wide competition in return for naming rights - to be known as the 'Victory League' - while also having a hands-on approach to the growth and development of football right across the state.
In a major coup for both parties, Melbourne Victory will take its entire senior squad to Tasmania on an annual basis for a pre-season tour, which will include games in the north and south of the state, while players and coaches will be made available for Tasmanian football events as well as grass roots and community initiatives.
Managing Director, Richard Wilson, said, "This is a fantastic opportunity to grow, not only the game itself, but also the Victory brand in a rapidly developing sporting landscape. We are extremely proud of the breadth and impact of our community and grass roots programs throughout Victoria and this is a way to further broaden our reach and to add value."
FFT President, Sean Collins, is equally as excited about the joint-venture, "In Melbourne Victory we have a major partner who can deliver huge benefits both on and off the field. We're delighted with their commitment and look forward to a strong partnership," he said.
Two fixtures have already been confirmed for next month, with Melbourne Victory to take on a select Tasmanian XI in Hobart on August 21, while three days later the squad will get its first pre-season taste of A-League opposition when Adelaide United makes the trip to Launceston on August 24.
The game is about opinions. Make yours heard! Join the tribalfootball.com nation on Facebook today: Facebook.com/tribalfootball

Let's just put it this way: Senator Arlen Specter should have kept quiet.
His comments, made right after the election, about abortion, Roe v. Wade, and Supreme Court Justices, have infuriated people from coast to coast. Though he has now tried to backtrack, his comments left the clear impression that he did not want pro-life justices nominated. Now, a flood of messages are coming in to senators, urging them to prevent Specter from becoming the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which bears key responsibilities in the process of the confirmation of the president's judicial nominations.
This is a welcome flood, and an appropriate response. After all, one of the key motivating factors for voters has been the future makeup of the Supreme Court. There will be vacancies, the president will make nominations, and the future of Roe v. Wade does hang in the balance.
In the midst of this battle, I am fully confident about a couple of things.
First of all, I am confident that the president will choose the right people to nominate. He knows the proper role of the judiciary, and the difference between interpreting the Constitution and re-writing it. He also knows the history of Supreme Court nominations (including those made by his father)and is determined to avoid mistakes of the past.
Secondly, I am confident that the voters in Election 2004 will not let this issue rest, but rather will make it clear to the US Senate that they will not tolerate filibusters or bias against nominees who are well-qualified and also happen to be Christian and pro-life.
The bottom line here is that nobody not the President, nor his nominees, nor the senators should hesitate to say what has to be said about Roe v. Wade. Not only is it an abominable decision, just from the legal standpoint, but it is also a poison to the very fabric of law and justice. Dred Scott, in fact, was a better decision than Roe, and did far less damage to our nation.
Nobody has any responsibility to uphold Roe v. Wade. In the Church's view, Roe v. Wade lacks all juridical validity. It should be denounced as incompatible with the very principles on which America was built. It should be condemned outright, and no adherence to protocol or invocations about the "law of the land" should be allowed to obscure the fact that there is no room in America for Roe v. Wade.
We have spoken in the voting booth. Now, let us speak to our senators, loud and clear, so that the Court itself may return to upholding the principle that is inscribed on the very stones of the Supreme Court building: Equal Justice Under Law.

TR: In the US Gmail is third by market share. What's the objective with Gmail now – topple Hotmail?
Jackson: We tend not to focus too much on competitors, we focus on users, and the needs that they have. Growth is one of the things that we care about. We hope that more and more people will use Gmail – and not just that more people will use it but that people will use it more often.
This is something that Larry and Sergey, the founders, tell us – focus on usage not users, because the people who are using your product the most, the most active demanding users are the ones who are going to be helping inform you about what the future is.
The leading edge users are where everyone else is going to be two to three years later. So they are the ones that can help push your product to where it needs to be for the future, so we're really focussed on innovation.
TR: But if you are looking to grow, stuff like a lack of folders can be a deal-breaker for new users…
Jackson: We worked on this recently with our project where we improved labels. We wanted them to be accessible for people who are familiar with folders. We believe that the label model is a good model because it allows something to be in multiple labels. If I receive an email that's from my family but it's about a vacation I want it to be both in the 'family' and the 'vacation' label.
At the same time we realised that most people just didn't get labels. All our research showed this. And so we did this big project to improve them – while still keeping them as labels we wanted to make them familiar to people who use folders so you can drag and drop, you can 'move to' – which is essentially moving something out of one label and into another label so we made them sort of, still implemented as labels under the covers but look and feel and behave like folders so that users who are familiar with folders could use it.
And after we launched this we saw the usage of labels go way up and we saw the number of people doing the traditional label commands go down a little and the amount of people doing the 'move to' and the folder-like commands go way up.
TR: Why isn't the search in Gmail as good as Google's web search – you need to be much more accurate with your search queries in Gmail.
Jackson: Gmail works on pretty much exact string matching. There's an incredible amount of knowledge that's baked into Google web search and we're trying to incorporate more and more of that into Gmail. So you will see improvement in that area in the future. It's one of the bigger back-end projects that we're working on right now.
TR: So we'll see search suggestions such as 'did you mean?'
Jackson: Similar. You have to make sense in a mail context. We refer to this as 'stemming' – certain terms that are the stem of a longer term. It's a basic property of web search. And things like synonyms and bigrams and anagrams – all that stuff we want to work well in Gmail. It doesn't work yet but it's something we are working on.
TR: So when will that be implemented?
Jackson: We try not to be too forward looking with what we announce. The reason is that oftentimes because of the fits and starts that projects have… imagine if four years ago we told you that we were working on Buzz.
Projects happen organically at Google and they are very engineering driven and sometimes they start and stop and resume later. And we also don't like to tease users – we want to announce it to users at the moment that it's ready for them to use it.

You might have a mild phobia or a severe phobia - follow these steps first to find the best help for you:
1. Talk to a friend or family member. Talking to someone you trust takes away some of the shame or fear you feel about your phobia. You might find that your friend has a similar phobia and that it's quite common. Or you may find that one or more of your relatives have the same phobia and this may give you a clue as to why you have the phobia.
2. Seek out a local support group or counselling service. Look through your local phone directory or see our directory for help.
You can also get a referral from your GP to a local counsellor or psychotherapist but there is usually a long waiting list.
3. See your GP and ask for a referral to a phobia specialist or a counsellor. Some GPs might want to prescribe you anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs but this should be a last resort.
If the phobia is seriously affecting your life, for example you can't leave the house, then discuss the drug options with your GP as well as suitable therapy.
4. Tell someone. If the phobia causes extreme anxiety such as panic attacks, lack of sleep, confusion and a fear of leaving the house, speaking to other people and not taking care of yourself, then you need to gain the strength to tell someone about how you feel.

A Campbell and Cater mystery. Crime in the Cotswolds just got deadly. When Lucas Burton arrives at a deserted farm, hoping to conduct a business deal, he stumbles across the body of a girl. And that's just the start of his problems. Penny Gower, from the local stables, spots his car leaving the crime scene, and when her friend Andrew Ferris calls the police it's only a matter of time before Lucas gets a visit from someone he'd rather not see...

"Loved it"
I have enjoyed many of Ann Grangers books, but this is my favourite so far, maybe it is because of where it is set, or maybe because I could really connect with the main character Jess Campbell she is not to complicated and just wants to get on and do a good job, which I found refreshing. The plot still took some twists and turns and I didn't guess who did it until the last chapter which is always good.
You get what you pay for and I can't wait for next one in series
Story seemed very ponderously written, not helped by the rather mannered and irritating delivery. I kept thinking just get on with the thriller and cut the waffle.
"Very good!"
Brilliantly read. A gripping storyline. Lots of twists and turns. Its a good ending when you think you know the answer, but you're just not sure.
I enjoyed this very much. I must admit I had put it to one side as I didn't know the author and only listened when I'd run out of everything else!
But what a mistake! Spent a marvellous few hours in the company of Jess and the characters down at the stables. Good characterisation and an interesting plot! I'm already planning my next listen for a good long journey.
"An enjoyable story well narrated"
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Characters, backgrounds neatly interwoven and loose ends tied up at the end.
Superbly read by Judith Boyd...as ever.
"Not bad"
I wanted a crime novel to enjoy whilst relaxing. This book delivered. The main character Jess, I found at bit irritating - can't put my finger on why. The plot twists were a little predictable, but sometimes you need to get the murderer right don't you.
"Rather dull"
I loved Ann Granger's Fran Varady series. Tried a few Mitchell and Markby, didn't like them much so I tried this. Didn't do it for me either. It's a very ordinary, humourless classic British police procedural. I couldn't really manage to care much about any of the characters, or what happened to whom or when... which sort of defeats the purpose of reading this type of fiction. Very flat characters and a rather unlikely plot. I won't be bothering with more of these.
But if you haven't read Gtranger's Fran Varady series, try that. It has an engaging, quirky protagonist and plenty of humour.
"classic murder mystery set in modern day"
liked the characters and dialog was believable. crime fairly simple though and no big twists
"not really worth it"
i liked tge reader, but the story was both convoluted and uninteresting. not bad, just not really worth bothering.

My Dad was an Army grunt in WWII. He made getting shot in the Battle of the Bulge into a humorous story. It really wasn't. He was an unremarkable farm boy from Missouri who left his wife and infant son behind to travel to war in a foreign land. He was one of many, so many, who simply did what they were asked, served their country and, by doing so, became remarkable for their sacrifices.
The picture below of Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery was taken soon after his return home from serving in the Pacific. He looks tired and every day of his 39 years of age, the surface effects of war. He was one of the remarkable many who to this day continue to amaze us by their service. We all owe them our thanks, and the least we can do is remember them.

Collecting Words
It is silent, first, in recognition of its banality. 'Every other night, on TV', Roland Barthes points out, 'someone says: I love you'. How can we, unique and autonomous as we long to be, capture the extraordinary experience of desire by echoing this worn-out commonplace, this blank performative, which lacks nuances and 'suppresses explanations, adjustments, degrees, scruples'? 'I love you' obliterates the distinctiveness of the desire it sets out to capture, and affirms at the same time the difference it sets out to efface, the gap between 'I' and 'you', investing the performance in the process with a certain solitariness.
-Catherine Belsey, Desire: Love Stories in Western Culture, 74-5.

I have been on a mini holiday somewhere quiet where I can look at the ocean, collect words and wear scarves. I have been thinking about a project, which might turn into postdoctoral research, but I'm unsure at this moment. It's all a bit fragmentary. I am fascinated by the idea of love in culture and literature, particularly as it relates to identity. I don't know if this fascination can be turned into a sustained project, and I'm too tired to start anything new right now, so in the meantime, I'm just collecting words.

PARIS, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Whatever U.S. President Barack Obama was hoping to achieve at the Asia-Pacific summit in Singapore, it seems on the surface that he failed on two of the headline issues.
First, the summit of 21 nations, including Russia, Mexico and Australia as well as the United States and China, backed away from the commitment in the draft communique to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Instead, they finally agreed only to pursue "an ambitious program" at next month's climate-change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This is probably the final nail in the coffin for any hopes that Copenhagen would produce a binding international commitment to cut carbon emissions.
Second, Obama failed to secure any Chinese commitment to revalue its currency. This a major issue in the U.S. Congress, where critics of China maintain their currency is undervalued by about 30 percent, making Chinese exports to the United States much cheaper.
The summit's draft communique, which had been approved by Chinese officials before the heads of government sat down to ratify it, pledged to support "market-oriented exchange rates." At Chinese insistence, the final communique deleted that reference.
The main achievement of the summit was to make yet another pledge to complete the Doha Round of world trade talks next year, nine years after the process began. This is mixed news for Obama, since his chances of getting such a new free-trade deal through Congress are very slim.
It remains to be seen whether his offstage meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will succeed in producing a new treaty to cut U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons. So perhaps the only visibly positive outcome for Obama was the purely theatrical and even cosmetic sound bite of claiming to be his country's "first Pacific president."
Even that must have rung a little hollow in Indonesia, the Asia-Pacific country where Obama spent part of his boyhood and where he is highly popular as something of a native son. But Indonesia, despite being the world's most populous Muslim nation, is not on his travel schedule for this trip.
The trip focused on the main Asia-Pacific powers, staring with China, his next stop after Singapore. He had begun in Japan, where he sought to calm concern that the new Japanese government was backing away from that country's traditionally firm alliance with the United States.
After China, Obama goes on to South Korea, where he was hoping for some progress on the complex problem of North Korea's nuclear ambitions. But even in South Korea, where the U.S. relationship remains robust, there is a problem. Spooked by claims that free trade takes jobs from American workers, the U.S. Congress has yet to ratify a bilateral free-trade deal with South Korea.
But China remains the high point of the trip, and after the failure at APEC to get any Chinese concessions on its currency or on climate change, it will not be easy for Obama to turn the visit into the kind of success that resonates with the voters back home.
This is not for want of trying. The Obama administration has made a number of concessions to China that have yet to earn any reward. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has backed away from his demonstrably true earlier claims that China manipulates its currency.
And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has already signaled that the United States will not be making a big issue of China's human-rights record. Indeed, State Department veterans have told this reporter that her deputy, Jim Steinberg, has issued standing instructions against U.S. diplomats meeting Chinese dissidents without his prior approval. And to the dismay of many human-rights activists, Obama pointedly did not meet the Dalai Lama on his last visit to Washington.
The Chinese, however, focus on two trade-restriction measures that the Obama administration has taken against Chinese exports of tires and steel tubes. President Hu Jintao spoke forcefully in Singapore of the need to resist "unreasonable" protectionist measures, and China's top banking regulator Liu Mingkang last week warned that ultra-low U.S. interest rates were fueling speculation and creating bubbles that threaten the world's hopes of economic recovery.
So the stage is set for some bumpy meetings in China, despite Obama's pledge to deepen and intensify the relationship, and his claim to see China as "a strategic partner." With China poised over the next two years to overtake Japan and become the world's second-largest economy, the U.S.-China relationship is critical.
"The rise of a strong, prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations," Obama said in Tokyo.
But it can also be a major headache. Lee Kuan Yew, the veteran Singapore leader, sounded a warning recently when he declared: "The size of China makes it impossible for the rest of Asia, including Japan and India, to match it in weight and capacity in about 20 to 30 years. So we need America to strike a balance."
The question for Obama is whether this balance is a role he seeks to play. It implies containing China and limiting its regional ambitions, and Obama said specifically in Tokyo that containment is not part of his policy. He has yet to say what his policy is, and the evidence from the APEC summit is that his concessions to Beijing have produced little result. And the U.S. trade deficit widened again last month.
In the long run, Obama's presidency will be judged by the kind of relationship he can build with China almost as much as by his economic record. And his ability to haul the United States out of recession and into a far more robust recovery will also depend heavily on the economic relationship with China. Wherever he looks, Beijing remains the big issue.

Udinese boss Francesco Guidolin says he's stopped dreaming about coaching one of Italy's big clubs. "I'd rather manage Nottingham Forest," he said.
Guidolin's Udinese are one of the most in-form and entertaining sides in the Italian championship at present. Sunday's 3-1 win over Italian, European and World champions Inter illustrated as much.
The club's exploits in Serie A this season, after beginning the campaign with four straight losses, has again seen the former Palermo Coach's stock rise.
But he's stopped dreaming about taking over at a giant such as Milan, Inter or Juventus.
"The best directors don't always end up in Hollywood," he noted. "Ten years ago I did hope of joining a big side, but now I am not bothered. I want to end my career at Udinese.
"If the club get tired of me then I'll look to have an experience abroad," continued the ex-Monaco tactician.
"I love German and English football. I love Berlin and I'd love to take charge of Hertha Berlin.
"If Hertha don't want me then I'll wait for a call from Nottingham Forest, another niche club, because at heart I am a niche Coach."

One of the trends in aid and development in recent years has been increasing recognition of issues around disability. A lot of that is down to the activism of Disabled People's Organizations (DPOs). Here disability campaigners Mosharraf Hossain and Julia Modern update us an important breakthrough
In April we blogged on this site about the publication of the UK parliament's International Development Select Committee report on disability and development. Last week the Committee published the official response to the report from the government. It's a thorough and thoughtful reply to the challenges that the Committee set to the Department for International Development (DFID), and the changes that are set out have big implications for practices throughout the international development sector, particularly for organisations that DFID funds (including NGOs and multilaterals), which will find themselves increasingly being held accountable for whether they include disabled people in their work.
What does this mean for the 800 million disabled people living in the developing world? The proof will be in the implementation, but this is a giant leap forward. DFID have made a public commitment to prioritising the inclusion of disabled people, improving their own work and signalling to others that more needs to be done. In the humanitarian sector in particular the response talks about a fundamental shift, with disaggregated reporting on age and impairment of recipients a requirement in all future humanitarian proposals.
After Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh in 2007 I witnessed the results of not thinking about the inclusion of disabled people in emergency responses; with thousands of people competing for limited assistance, disabled people lost out. Monitoring recipients and supporting training in disability inclusion for relief providers will help to ensure this doesn't happen in the next disaster responses.
While DFID
haven't accepted every recommendation made by the Committee, they have committed to an impressive series of actions:
- Publish a disability framework by November 2014. To be developed in consultation with Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) and NGOs, the framework will set out DFID's 'commitment, approach and actions to strengthening disability in our policy, programme and international work.'
- Strengthen DFID's capacity to work on disability inclusion, by: appointing a senior-level managerial champion to work alongside Ministerial champion Lynne Featherstone MP; increasing the number of staff working on disability in the central policy team and creating a network of disability experts across DFID; and creating a 'basic disability awareness module' that will be rolled out to all staff, as well as providing more and better guidance on inclusion.
- Push DFID's partners towards disability inclusion, including through the World Bank's current safeguards review; reviewing the Multilateral Aid Review process to check that it adequately monitors disability inclusion; and asking civil society organisations that DFID funds to report on disability in future annual reviews.
- More thoroughly embedding disability in DFID internal processes, for example by including DPOs in the Ministerial disability advisory group, putting 'specific reference to considering disability and other vulnerabilities in guidance for future country level operational plans', and strengthening inclusion in large-scale programmes 'through strengthened systems as well as ministerial and managerial championing'.
It is this last area, strengthening DFID's internal processes, in which the response gives least detail, suggesting that whether the attempt to embed inclusion into DFID's processes is successful will be decided largely by the details of the new disability framework, to be produced by November. We hope that the framework will address a few areas that remain unclear:
- There isn't much information in the response about how DFID's practices will change at country level.
- The response doesn't fully engage with how DFID will access the expertise of Southern DPOs.
- While DFID set out a clear commitment to support the development of better data on disability, they have not taken on board all the Committee's recommendations about monitoring of their own programmes or other UK ODA spending.
The investment DFID is making in global capacity to collect data on disability should be matched by setting out in November's framework a timescale for introducing systems to collect this data in all DFID bilateral programmes. Gathering this data is the only way to properly monitor whether DFID are increasing on that 5% of bilateral aid going to programmes that consider the needs of disabled people, and is therefore an essential part of making sure the increase happens.
DFID's response is truly promising, and shows respect and consideration to the evidence the inquiry received from disabled people and their supporters. As a trend-setter in development, we hope and expect that the promised changes will be transformative for disabled people in the developing world.

It is indeed a major breakthrough. DIFID report states "DFID rightly sees disability as a matter of equal rights and discrimination, not just a medical issue. We agree this should be the focus of its disability work. Nonetheless, there are significant development gains to be made by treating and preventing the conditions that cause disability. Yet treatment and prevention make up only a small part of DFID's current health work: it should urgently review its spending in these areas, where it risks missing important opportunities. The prevention of disabling injuries should also be a priority in DFID's major infrastructure investments such as road building." This is critical as in some mainstream agencies support given to persons with disability is perceived as welfare hence excluded there by limiting the participation of people with disability in development programmes. People with disability have different needs to others in order to access their rights/ participate in development. Disability inclusive development will be possible only when disability specific needs are also considered. Catering to these specific needs should not be seen as welfare but like any other training or capacity building initiatives in a development project. Offcourse provision of aids and appliances cannot be an end but a means to access development.
Having recently moved to Australia from India, I have seen the debate of welfare Vs development take control of participation of people with disability in development programme especially when it involves government funding. I sincerely hope DIFID's initiative will change this.
Thanks for this post! Having been involved with Handicap International for years in disability issues, I confirm there is indeed an evolution, that still has to be practically implemented when it comes to field operations, especially in emergency situations… Happy to read this then, since it is also a way to disseminate sensitization!
This is a great post. We like this topic.This site has lots of advantage.We found many interesting things from this site. It helps in many ways please keep it up the effective work.- Disability Kingston-upon-Thames

Kona Coffee Nanaimo Bars
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: The city of Nanaimo (pronounced "nuh-NYE-mo") is known as "The Harbour City" of British Columbia. There, residents boast of a long, lovely coastline, and also this eponymous, quirky, rich and creamy dessert that can be found across Canada. Classic Nanaimo Bars consist of three layers: a bottom layer of graham crackers, cocoa, coconut, and nuts (usually almonds); a middle custard-like layer; and finally a topping of chocolate ganache. They are extremely rich, but that doesn't mean you'll be ready to stop at just one. To put my own patriotic spin on the bar, I decided to create a Hawaiian flavor variation. The coconut flavor is carried through to the cream layer, which is usually made with custard powder or a substitute of vanilla pudding mix; I also added a hint of Kona coffee to the ganache and topped the whole thing with crushed, chocolate-coated espresso beans. This brought a dark edge—bitter and sophisticated—to balance out the kid-on-a-sugar-buzz level of sweet in the rest of the bar. Aloha, Canada! —Allison Cay Parker
Serves 16 squares
For the bottom layer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped and lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
For the middle and top layers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 3 teaspoons all-natural coconut flavoring (not oil)
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Hawaiian Kona coffee, brewed to double strength
- 1/4 cup chocolate-covered espresso beans, coarsely chopped
- For the bottom layer: Melt butter, sugar, and cocoa in the top of a double boiler. Add egg and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, macadamia nuts, and coconut. Press firmly into an ungreased 8- by 8-inch pan and chill in the refrigerator before proceeding to the next step.
- For the middle layer: Beat together the butter, cream, cornstarch, salt, vanilla, and confectioner's sugar until well combined, light, and fluffy. Add coconut flavoring and mix thoroughly. Spread over bottom layer and chill again.
- For the top layer: Melt chocolate and butter, together with the coffee, over low heat. Cool to room temperature. Once cool, pour over the middle layer. Top with the crushed espresso beans and chill once more. When the top layer has set, cut into squares and serve.

The Mystery Mansion Dinner Theater Phoenix Reviews
63 reviews
Jun 28, 2006
This iswonderfully funmurder mystery dinner theater.
We parked infront of the "pronto" restaurant, and were led to the back where the theater was to be taking place.We stepped into a different world that night,as wespied many interesting characters
C.D. Wweasel, the director of the debuting silent film, host to all of the guests at his new mansion. Clara Simpleton, the sweet and demure girl next door. Edward Mmanly III, the swashbuckling lady killer. Fanny Fanciful, the wild flapper, and Jewel Precious, transvestite personal assistant to famous silent film star, Louise Loveless.This was interactive, so my date and i were given our own personal names and identities.I was Ddemi Tasse, short film star, andmy datewas Jason Rainbows, songwriter. essentially, all the people in the "audience", the guests, represented roles of people involved in the making of the silent film, directed by c.d. weasel, which would be debuting at the manor. it would take me days to relate all of the cookiness that went on that night, but i will say that these were the craziest bunch of people i have ever met. no holds barred, they especially enjoyed using the "guests" for their own personal jokes. at one point in the evening, there was a dancing contest, and half of the dancers were elderly men...some of the music selections were as follows: "i'm too sexy" and "stayin' alive."Jewel Pprecious continually sauntered over to the table, to press her behemoth bosom intomy date'sface. I have never heard so many puns and innuendos...in a two hour period. the cast was so vivid, and we witnessed murder, cat fights, love scenes, spanking, and a gun fight. of course, the action sequences were what one would expect from a troupe that relies more on personal wit, and flair for drama.the "5-course" meal consisted of a small cup of soup, a barren salad consisting of lettuce and a couple olives, chicken breast, rice, and a chocolate mousse for dessert. it was alright. don't know if i would count that as a five course, as there were only four "courses" anyway. sometimes, words are not enough spice to make a bad meal taste good.we had some great laughs, and were quite inebriated by the time we were through. you have to get drunk to be a part of something like this. otherwise, you might wet your knickers from embarassment. they will pull you up on their little stage, infront of everyone, and will make you do all sorts of silly and embarassing things...i strongly suggest you go to the site just to take a peek at the characters of the show. especially, jewel precious. he/she was my favorite in the show. :)

How are you all? I've been super busy helping my sister organize some things in her house while I'm here visiting. She always saves me some spaces so I can get my organizing moves on. I'll be sharing those with you soon. Today though I'm going to talk about the product Neat Containers. Many of you, after I showed a picture of my closet, asked me about the clear containers on my top shelf.
Well those would be Neat Containers and they are AWESOME!
Caution: Please read the comments on this post as it has been brought to my attention that this company is going through some difficulties and not holding up their end of a transaction. And while I love the product I wouldn't want anyone to experience any difficulties with a purchase on a recommendation I gave.
From their site:
"Our storage pods are made from a highly durable, clear plastic material. The units have been life-cycle tested tested for open and close over 60,000 times withouth cracking or breaking.
Furthermore, they can handle a wide range of temperature. You can actually freeze the units and they will still function normally without breaking! These units are designed to be lighweight yet tough enough to easily handle a wide array of everyday items from shoes to garage hardware."
These clear containers that come in multiple sizes slide onto one another and you can remove one without affecting the others. Brilliant!
I use my set (shown above in my closet is the large 20 pc combo kit) to store all sorts of things. From my dressy heels that are only used once and awhile, to bathing suits and coverups, shapewear, wallets, pashminas, slippers, etc. I love being able to divvy up the pods according to my needs. They are so versatile! And because they are clear, I can easily see what's inside. Also look how much space they are maximizing, they practically go the roof. Talk about using every inch of available space! The large combo kit sells for $49.99 online.
Of course these containers can be used in any closet to hold all sorts of things.
I found a video on You Tube that lets you see the pods in action if you want further information.
If you don't see the video, it can be found here.
Happy Friday!

As winter weather wears on, it can be difficult to participate in your favorite outdoor activities. But rather than give up outdoor exercise, many people turn to walking. How can you get more from this basic exercise?
1. Preparation is key.
"There is a proper way to walk and thousands of improper ways to walk," says Bill Macy, certified health & fitness trainer and director of Avamere (formerly Waterford) Health & Fitness Club) in Medford. Macy emphasizes that proper posture alignment and strength training are really the best ways to begin a walking program. But, he cautions, leave the weights at home.
Patrick Frey, personal trainer in Medford and Ashland and owner of TOPFIT, agrees. "People tend to swing them too much," he says. Studies have shown that injury rates are higher for those who carry weights, especially ankle weights.
And don't forget to warm up. "Stretching is important but it is NOT a warm-up," says Macy. "There's no benefit to stretching when your muscles are cold." Instead, start with a slow five-to 10-minute walk to loosen your joints and limbs before picking up the pace.
2. If the shoe fits, wear it.
Once you hit the road, nothing is more important than a pair of proper-fitting shoes, says Frey. "Especially the older we get, the less our joints can take." Walking must be comfortable, but as Frey points out, you'll also want to consider things like an appropriate tread for wet sidewalks, or the individual fit of different shoe brands. Macy reminds, "Feet are so unique" - put them all on if you have to and find what is most comfortable for you and your foot."
3. Soften the surface.
"People will choose a forum for convenience but not the best choice for the long-term effect," says Macy. A rule of thumb is the harder the surface, the harder walking will be on your body. "Almost anyplace you go anymore is going to be a hard surface," acknowledges Frey, and roads and sidewalks have the added challenges of being slanted or uneven with up-and-down dips for driveways or street corners. While a good shoe will help minimize these impacts to a certain degree, consider walking off the beaten path. Perhaps a local school has a track you can use when school is out; a local park or field may have a trail to follow; or how about walking in water at a local pool? Water walking is intense, says Macy, but also supportive because it offers resistance while lessening weight-shocking impact.
4. Pick up the pace.
"Don't make your walk too comfortable," says Frey. "Push yourself a little bit." Once you are comfortable with the pace you're using, challenge yourself. Varying the routine means burning more calories, says Frey, because it keeps your body adapting to new situations. Try tackling a hill, increasing your stride or just changing your usual route. "The intensity principle makes the body work harder at all levels," says Macy. Your heart or breathing rate is an easy way to gauge an increase in intensity.
5. Enjoy the walk.
"If you hate walking, it won't be as beneficial," says Macy. "Use walking as a physical activity or as a mindful activity," he encourages. Walking is a proven stress reliever and the valley offers plenty of variety. Walking city streets may not be enjoyable but hiking a local trail may be your style. Listening to your favorite music while walking may speed the miles away. Find a way to enjoy the outing and the benefits will increase accordingly.
