John Hegley is nearly 55, yet there's still a rebellious streak in this figure with a greying quiff and a wonky pair of glasses. Tonight, he squeezed subversion into much of his set, from a tale about wearing women's briefs at Luton Town FC to an appraisal of Jesus's catering skills: "He made a lot of sandwiches and none of them had pork in."
He is best known for his poetry, but Hegley's deadpan style and his penchant for setting his verses to the mandolin proved that he is an equally adept singer, musician and comedian. "You've done well in the first half; let's not spoil it," he said mock-sternly after the interval. A bluesy number about a dog that had wind crooned without a hint of irony had many in the crowd weeping with laughter.
Hegley's "friends" added an extra dimension to the show. Using a sampling loop and loo brush launched to a frenzied Russian countdown the eccentric Andrew Bailey re-created the Soviet space programme live on stage. Perhaps not quite as experienced or absurd as the others, Neil Bob Herd performed a country-blues routine that nevertheless garnered nods of recognition as he sang about the fallacy of discovering one's genius while drinking.
There was a tangible warmth when all three performed together; Herd strummed, Bailey tapped and Hegley's mind meandered. What would a guillemot make of its existence? Why did an American visit Luton in the 1960s? And is it appropriate to fry an egg in a wok? (No.)
Despite the seemingly mundane and at times ridiculous nature of these musings, Hegley's willingness to share such intimate thought processes made for a profound connection with the audience. Simultaneously the geeky misfit, the sensitive soul and the class clown, he touched all of us with his deeply human approach to life. And like his mother "cleaning the household surfaces like she had to get below the surface of existence", he led us a little closer to the unplumbed reaches of our psyches.
No surprises, then, that Hegley along with his accomplices received two encores. Silence descended as he examined mental illness in "Car Driver Bill", while a rumination on Christ's plight "if that's a Good Friday, I wouldn't want a bad one" induced roars of appreciation.
The spontaneity and enthusiasm in Hegley's performance was amazing for a man who has been at this for 30 years. Maybe the quiff and specs will eventually give way to a toupee and bifocals, but here's hoping he sticks around for at least another 30.

Icon Update
Today I spent several hours doing some preliminary work on the icon. I wish I had taken a photo of the plain white board. But I didn't. As you can see, I am doing Theotokos, Mary Mother of God. So, I am given the drawing and transfer it to my board by tracing the drawing with graphite paper beneath it. When I am done, I have the outline on my board.
Then the next step is to engrave the drawing into the gesso on the board by using a sharp object to engrave each line.
You can barely see it, but it is engraved. My teacher drew the halo for me, it is precision work.
Tomorrow I will work on it some more. And I will take photos as I go.
Oh, I am so thrilled to be able to do this. What a gift!
It is such a prayerful activity. We are downstairs from the chapel, and I can go for adoration whenever I would like. I will likely be able to get to Mass every day this week. This wouldn't sound like much of a vacation to most people, but it is beyond my wildest dreams.
And then I had a date tonight with the man I have been seeing. As I was getting ready, I was nervous about how I looked, so I took a photo and sent it to my daughter. She told me I looked fine, so I was reassured. His friend is visiting him from California, and we all went out for dinner. It was lovely, lovely, lovely. I was a little nervous because I felt that he wanted to see what his friend thought of me. We had fun, great conversation, I told them both all about the icon class - and they actually seemed interested - both Catholics, you see. When they dropped me off at home, I said goodbye to the friend and he hugged me. Since he is probably in his 70s, I thought the hug meant he liked me. I hope to see this man, the one I am dating, more. I am a bit smitten.
And thrilled about the icon. What are the odds I will sleep tonight? Not good, I'd say.
God bless you all. I will probably be posting every day while I am in my class. I want to post the photos here. I hope you like to watch the progress....

You look great Mary C! Also the icon. I look forward to seeing it come to life, so to speak. Will you get it blessed? Your'e very talented. I'm glad you are enjoying your dates with your new friend, terrifying as it all sounds to my scared head hahaha! A friend sent to check you out, I would make a mess of things, I know and end up fighting with the pair of them. Never mind, you're much more sensible than me, thank God. Your advices in your last comment on my blog really helped me in Mass today, when I thought about not going to Communion due to being so angry (Grrrrrrrrrr!). I managed to say a release prayer and something wonderful happened afterwards, which I might blog about, if led to.

Glue brown kraft core cardstock to cream mat board using multimedium. When the adhesive is dry, die-cut all the pieces. The Scoreboards dies both cuts and scores, making 3D projects very easy to do. I cut the handle from plain cream mat board, since I didn't want it to be the same brown as the rest of the suitcase.
Sand the pieces pretty heavily, this brings out the kraft core of the paper and makes the suitcase look as if it has travelled on many trains and been through a lot.
Stamp the two big pieces with train-related stamps using Archival Jet Black ink. Take care to place the stamps in the right direction on the front piece (to the left), the flap should be at the bottom. And decide which of the two long sides you want facing upwards on the right hand piece which will form the body of the suitcase.
One of my photos in the minialbum was of the clock on the old train station, so I wanted to include a little clock, but I didn't want it to look like an alarm clock. The Vintage Alarm clock was die-cut from grungeboard, and I cut off some of the parts to make it look like an ordinary clock. It was painted gold and sanded a bit.
After sanding it, I inked the clock with Black Soot Distress Ink. The small clocks on the idea-ology Lost & Found papers fit perfectly for this clock. Pick a clock that fits your project and cut it out. (You could also stamp the clock using the clock stamp in the Stamper's Anonymous Tim Holtz Curiosities set).
Glue the golden clock to the patterned paper with Glossy Accents, then mat it with Black Soot Core'dinations cardstock and sand the edges. I placed the clock so that it showed the same time as the clock in my photo. Then I filled the shape with Glossy Accents. Put aside to dry (it dries completely clear).
Smear Pumice Stone and Antique Linen Distress Ink on a craft sheet, mist with water, then drag a piece of manila cardstock through it. Let dry (or dry with a heat gun). Stamp a train and a ticket with Archival Jet Black ink. Die-cut title letters from a scrap piece of paper using the Typeset Sizzlits die. I used a left over piece of blue watercolour paper. Cut out the ticket and the train and ink the edges with Frayed Burlap.
Here's the back of the finished suitcase. I added some gears which were die-cut from grungeboard, painted gold and silver, distressed and then inked with Black Soot. On the ticket, I circled the date when the photos were taken. I also added a tiny tag hanging from the handles. The handles were inked with Frayed Burlap before attaching them to the suitcase.
It is very easy to assemble the suitcase, you can find instructions here. Just add brads to hold the main body of the suitcase together and then use strong tape (I used Wonder Tape) to attach the bottom flap of the front cover to the base of the main body.
Don't fold the top flap all the way, just fold it a little bit, then it will press up against the roof of the suitcase and keep it close. Adhere it with strong tape to the top of the front flap, leaving a space above it which is about the twice the thickness of the material you use. I covered the stamped man with a piece of kraft resist paper. It just didn't look nice to have a man without a head there.
To make the mini-album, I cut quite a lot of pages from double-sided paper, adhered all my photos, and added journaling. The suitcase can hold quite a chunky little album. I kept the mini-album pretty simple and tied it together with a string.

A dramatic shoot-out and escape occurred at the Lansdowne police station in Cape Town's southern suburbs, early on Sunday morning. Five suspects attempted to make a getaway before one of the men was shot dead, three were rearrested, and the fifth – one of the Cape's most wanted criminals – got away. Thankfully, Igshaan Dyers, is now back behind bars.
Igshaan's temporary freedom was ended on Monday when police tracked down the 26-year-old in Manenberg, following a tip-off, according to provincial police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk.
The career criminal was then taken back to the Lansdowne police station where police declared his arrest to the waiting media.
Dyers was present for the shaming, and is due to appear in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court today on a range of charges.
His impressive rap sheet includes multiple prior charges of housebreaking and theft.
Now he can include escape from lawful custody, robbery and assault of a police officer, to that list.
He had been arrested during the course of last week for possession of alleged stolen items.
A witness, who watched the scene unfold from her flat's balcony on the first floor, and who didn't want to be named, asserted that Sunday's prison break was like a scene straight from a movie:
It was like in the movies. It was pouring with rain and just bullets flying everywhere. At first I thought it was rubber bullets because it sounded like firecrackers. I was so frightened and luckily my kids were not playing at the gate.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate's, Moses Dlamini, explains:
Apparently one of the suspects wrestled the keys from the officer, then took them and opened the cells where the other inmates were kept. All five attempted to escape and police gave chase.
The unnamed witness and her two sons, aged four and two, saw one of the suspects being shot in the abdomen. His body was removed five hours later after investigators were satisfied that they had fully attended to the crime scene.
The woman acknowledged the men were criminals, but condemned the fact that police had opened fire on the "unarmed" men:
You should punish them but not kill them. When the ambulance came he was still alive, but they didn't even give him oxygen. They were firing blind shots and one of the kids could have been hit. They way they were carrying on with the guns was unreal.
Another witness to the escape, Stewart Mukanwa, 33, helped the police capture one of the escapees.
He and some friends had seen the suspect duck into a storage room at a nearby block of flats, in an attempt to escape the gunfire:
I was standing with three of my friends when we suddenly heard a huge noise and screaming coming from the police station. Suddenly we saw the men jump through the space of a broken panel of the [police] station's garage door. They then jumped over the vibracrete. A female officer came running and then more officers. One ran away and the other one was shot. When the other guy heard the gunshots he tried to run inside the storage room and then I went and pushed him out and the police got him. I was so scared. It was really shocking to see someone die in front of you… I couldn't even sleep that night.
Mukanwa thought the suspect had more than likely become terrified when he saw the other suspect gunned down not far from him.
One of the officers remained in hospital after his arm was broken during the escape attempt, and cases of murder and attempted murder would be investigated.

The Gastropub Flowchart: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em
The Parish
D. Solomon
Gastropubs have been opening one after another at a steady clip for the last few years, and this year has been no exception. In fact, maybe this is the year we hit critical mass of upscale pubs: The Spanish Fly, The Corner Door, and The Parish all opened this summer, for example, and Atwater Village will have its own (Scottish-themed) one in a few months. You can even find it in Merriam-Webster's 2012 Collegiate Dictionary (the Oxford English Dictionary was, as it is, ahead of the semantical curve and added it in 2005). Thus, as weary as you may be of this trend, the number of gastropubs per capita makes it highly likely that you'll find yourself going to at least one in the near future -- to meet a potentially bad date, maybe, or for an after-work happy hour. To help you when that time comes, use our flowchart to give you a few ideas on where to go and what to eat.

In yesterday's incident, a married couple with a fake bomb successfully diverted a Fujian Airlines aircraft to Taipei where they, with their young daughter, surrendered to the Taiwanese authorities and asked for asylum. Earlier in the day, according to Taiwan state radio, another Chinese plane had been spotted heading for Taiwan airspace but then turned back.
Lax airport security and inadequate safety and maintenance inspections have been blamed for this year's spate of hijackings and air crashes. With air travel in China booming, the country's airports and aviation industry cannot cope with soaring passenger numbers. Crew training and air traffic control standards are inadequate.
This year there have been five reported air accidents, in which about 70 people died. In the second half of 1992, 276 people died in crashes.
Last Thursday, Jiang Zhuping, the head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, was demoted as part of the government's attempts to shake up the industry and improve passenger safety. On Monday Mr Jiang described some of the main reasons for the accidents: crew members' inability to handle emergencies, especially during landings; some civil aviation companies' inadequate management of safety and maintenance; and the 'sometimes blind quest for economic efficiency that can jeopardise public safety'. China would spend about pounds 22m next year to improve safety facilities, he said.
The hijackings represent a political problem as well as a security challenge for China. Yesterday's hijackers, Luo Changhua, 38, a company manager and his 34-year-old wife, were taken into custody in Taipei and the aircraft and its 42 passengers returned to China. Like other mainlanders, the couple will face air piracy charges in Taiwan's courts, which claim jurisdiction; two mainland hijackers have already received 10-year sentences and the rest are awaiting trial.
China, however, wants Taiwan, which it claims is part of China, to return all hijackers to the mainland. The issue has loomed large in recent non- governmental talks between the two Chinas: in bilateral meetings last week, Taiwan agreed in principle that hijackers could be repatriated, but said it had the right to decide if any of them had valid political or religious motives.
According to Taiwan radio, the hijackers said they had wanted to escape from China because the government had demolished their home four months ago. Mr Luo was carrying a bottle containing batteries, a nail, a box of matches and wire which he persuaded the crew was a bomb. Security during check-in procedures at Chinese airports is so relaxed that it would not have been difficult to smuggle such items on to the aircraft.

I thought this fabulous Mohair Coat was my best vintage find ever….Until I stumbled upon this Levi's Denim Jacket at Harper & Lewis Vintage boutique in the Bullring. I love denim so much and the cut of this was 100% DOPE. I had to have it. Plus it was on the sale rack (for £30). WHOOOOOOPWHOOOOOP. I literally danced out of there.
It is so stylish and warm enough to be warn through out the year. It will be the object of my affection this summer.
I've just been too lazy lately to be even bother with twists out on my hair (my go to style), so I combed out my hair with a bit LOT of Fushi's Virgin Coconut Oil and I was good to go. I won't even bother styling my hair any more because this 'fro IS life. I took it work for the first time and my colleagues were all like, 'OOOHH, someone's got their hair DID today.' And I was like actually today I did NOTHING. #NaturalCrownAlert. OOP.
The thing with kinky hair is, it is a struggle to comb! I pulled and strained about 5000 facial muscles during this comb out 😦
It was tough.
There was a lot of loss (of hair), patience (by me), kindness (to my edges) and tears.
But I came through.
Hahahahaha. I get way too carried away with silly things. Like hair monologues.
Have a fantastic weekend you guys.

Where do you take your pictures?
Sometimes, a blogger will tweet something like "Scouting for outfit locations," and I'd go, I must be the laziest blogger around. The only time I shoot in a nice location is if I'm on holiday. I have never gone out of my way to seek out locations to experiment with.
I mean I want to. Continue reading "OOTD Rant: Where Do You Take Your Pictures?"
UPDATE: Cheers @Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) for featuring this post on their site on their weekly Links à la Mode roundup.
I was going through my shoes the other day as I've been intending to have a closet clear out (but never get around to it…) and discovered that I have more than 25 pairs. Gasp. Some of which I had bought and forgotten about and still have their tags on. Lawd. Continue reading "Fashion Rant: 7 Pairs of Zara Shoes or 1 Jimmy Choo? (Investing vs Buying in Fashion)"

"Creating a website which can be regularly updated has been a natural step in order to cater for the interest the project has generated so far, and to take the promotion of our heritage to a new level."
You can customise your criteria, download your own neat itinerary or even find out about volunteering at some of the properties on the sleek new site. Highlights include the new Museum of Somerset, Glastonbury Abbey, Ham Hill County Park and ancient battlefields.
"The success of the map has been fantastic, and we hope that the new website can take the project to an even wider audience, encouraging yet more people to explore the county's hidden gems" says Colin Spackman, the Chair of the museums alliance.
"Bakelite coffins, the oldest manmade road in Britain and early Victorian prosthetic limbs are just some of the treasures that can be found in Somerset. It boasts an amazing number of museums and heritage attractions, and the website celebrates the fascinating, quirky, important and often intriguing heritage locations in the county."

July 5, 2012 2012 Lieutenant Governor's Awards for Excellence in British Columbia Wines
Eleven wines have been chosen for the 2012 Lieutenant Governor's Awards for Excellence in British Columbia Wines. We are very pleased and proud to announce that for the second time in our first three vintages Painted Rock has earned two of the prestigious BC Lieutenant Governor's Awards for Excellence in BC Wines. These highly coveted awards will be presented to us by His Honour Stephen Point on July 26th at our winery.
When we won two awards for our first vintage it confirmed that we were on the right track and validated the potential of our estate property, our team and our mandate. Now with our third vintage we expect to solidify our reputation as reliable and consistent producers of excellent wines. Our very simple goal is to get better and not bigger and to realize the full potential of our Skaha Bench estate vineyard. We have enjoyed wonderful support and acceptance of our wines since they were first released for which we are very grateful. This has enabled us to continue to adhere to the strictest protocol and mandate in our quest to produce the finest wines.
The award winning wines, our 2009 Red Icon blend ($55) and our 2009 Syrah ($40) are available in limited quantities if you contact Jill at 604 765 4538 or by email at email@example.com. We also have a few signed and numbered magnums of the 2009 Red Icon available at $125 per bottle.
This year was the largest competition in the 10-year history of the awards, with 347 wines submitted from 94 wineries across the province.

This week, as you all know, we lost a great person in our community, Bruce Westrick.
I didn't know him well yet. In a small way, I was given the grace to be able to penetrate this man's heart and value him for the great example that he was. I was always impressed with his happiness and positive outlook.
He came to Mass at St. John on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. He would sit on the bench at the back of the church.
Seven years after the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to raise the state's minimum wage, the Kentucky House of Representatives returned to the issue on Thursday when it passed legislation that follows a similar path taken by that 2007 law.
This is an issue that is drawing a lot of attention across the country. The National Conference of State Legislatures says 23 states considered raising it in 2013, and Kentucky is one of 20 doing the same this year, with more expected in the months ahead.
As winter remains to have a strong hold in the county, each day we inch closer to spring and warmer temperatures. In addition, we inch closer to seeding dates for a variety of forages for the upcoming growing season.
Cash hay sales can be an income source for many Ken-tucky farmers. Check out these management tips that can help you generate the most profit from your hay enterprise from Dr. Garry Lacefield, University of Kentucky Extension Forage Specialist:
February opened with snow and ice across most of Kentucky. I hope you and yours are safe. As crews are out working all hours of the night, and utility workers restoring power to the many areas that lost it, I am reminded of, and appreciate, the people that are out working in these tough and hazardous conditions.
Despite the tough conditions in travel, the Senate continued working with a full week of committee hearings and bills that came to the Senate floor for vote.
Kentucky 4-H is one of the most important and influential youth programs in our state and our county. Across Kentucky more than 238,000 youth ages 9 to 19 learn about leadership, citizenship and life skills in "learn-by-doing" experiences such as communications and public speaking, through agriculture projects like livestock judging, science projects with robotics, 4-H camp, Teen Conference and many other 4-H programs and activities.
Among the most well-established and accepted nutritional advice from health professionals is to eat more fruits and vegetables. Juicing, the latest and greatest thing to hit the market is encouraging consumers to eat — or rather, drink — your daily fruits and vegetables through juices made yourself. Is this new "juicing" trend actually worth it?
First, know the difference between a smoothie and juicing. These two processes are different and the nutritional value and health benefits are different.
Local and state road crews scramble for salt as winter continues to rear its ugly head in Carroll County and across the country.
Carrollton Public Works supervisor Ronnie Knight said Friday that the city was almost completely out of salt after the snow Sunday, Feb. 2. Crews began working at about 3 a.m. Sunday and continued salting and plowing into Monday's workday, using about 30 tons of salt. The city has three trucks for salting and plowing, and it typically takes about three hours to go over all of the city streets once, Knight said.
The five candidates running for Carroll County judge-executive were put to their first test of the campaign season during a debate Tuesday night in the cafeteria at Cartmell Elementary School.

3 inches
So, I had to scour eBay for a new screen, which my dad or I should be able to install. This was mostly irritating because we literally had planned to replace the screen next week when our tax return will come. Seriously?
Then, to top out the day, Justin and I had a huuuuuggggeee argument about future placement of the laptop. Right now, it sits on a side table next to our couch, which is admittedly not a great solution because Lizzy is always playing with the cords and it's just in the way. Justin wants me to use a desk. Hey, I'd like a desk too, and I've racked my brain about how I could fit a desk into the living room with everything else, and I just can't figure out a logical way. First, we made the mistake of using Clearwire as our internet service provider, which, contrary to their slogan is NOT wireless internet, at least not in the way most consumers probably thing. I basically thought that it created a wireless hotspot in the house, but no. The computer has to remain wired to their little internet thingie to have access, which gets best service (which is still bad) in the window of the living room.. Justin brought a spare desk from college days into the living room and wedged it next to the couch, where the computer would still reach the Clearwire thingie, but we just don't have room for it if we're going to keep the other things that we need in the living room, such as the Pack N Play (which is absolutely necessary for me since our laundry is outside and our house is not babyproofed to the point where I can leave Lizzy alone while I'm outside) and toy box.
Justin's solution was just to leave the Pack N Play and toy box in the middle of the room.
Are there any other moms (or non-moms) out there who can sympathize with my freak out at this point? Our house is already too cluttered. And it drives me crazy. I can't relax with crap everywhere. I need everything to have a place that it can be put away, and floating things in the middle of the room does NOT count as being put away. And hello, I spend 90% of my time at home in the living room--a room that causes me to cry every time I walk into it is just not feasible. Eventually, I think Justin got the picture that while things not having a home clearly doesn't bother him, it would drive me BANANAS.
We still don't have a good solution for where the laptop can land. I really do want the computer to remain in the living room, and I really would like a desk, but I just can't figure out a good place for it with our layout. Boo.
So, anyway, my computer sucks right now. Please be patient with my posting/commenting the rest of the week!
12 comments:
I can definitely sympathize. My house is Clutter Central and I get so frustrated with it. I cleaned the living room/kitchen yesterday afternoon only to have it look even messier than it started with when the husband came home from work. I have no idea how it can get to that state so quickly. We just don't have a place to put anything. Seeing it such a disaster all the time makes me so anxious!
Good luck finding a solution!Like you, we are restricted to the placement of our internet that doesn't work on one side of the house on wireless.
Our solution lately has been to either shut the laptop in the entertainment center or tuck it under the couch when not in use. We both have a clutter phobia and just getting it out of sight is the best option. We've also invested in a cable and wireless mouse/keyboard set so we can keep it away in those spaces and work on the TV instead. Kind of awkward sometimes, but it is nice for watching video and browsing online.This too shall pass......
You will go insane trying to balance a clean and organized house with children....
She wasn't the first one to crack the laptop screen....she just finished it off...
Get in the habit of closing the laptop after use, and the chance of damage will decrease drastically...totally. our apartment is tiny small and to much stuff drives me up that wall. guys just don't get it! ;)

When we lived in CA we would go to Lake Tahoe for Spring Break while the snow was still fresh. We would rent a cabin and go to the snow covered mountains. Theo and Tobie learned how to snowboard while I would sit by with nursing babies watching their fun. I always thought, "If we ever live near snow again I am totally going to learn how to ski." I was told when we moved here to NJ that snow never happens, then 2 winters in a row, it's snowed! The bad thing is, since it isn't a normal occurrence here they don't have any snow activities that are close by. Not even any cool hills to slide down close to us. We did get to go to Camelback and do some snow tubing which was super fun, but that's like a 3 hr drive! Not something you can pick up and do in one afternoon. So even though I got the first part of my wish, to live somewhere where it snowed; there's nothing to do, and I certainly can't learn to ski on this.
But something I've discovered about myself is that...I DO NOT like cold weather. I'm so cold, all the time! This house isn't helping any, with drafty windows and doors. Good thing we are in housing because this heating bill would be CRAZY! I'm hearing the South calling my name. I miss the flip flops, sitting in the sun...being able to walk outside without having to don long sleeves, long pants, jacket, long socks, scarf, hat, gloves, snow shoes. I'm sure once the summer heat rolls in I'll be dreaming of white winters, but until then, enough already!! Come on summer!!

welcome 2012, welcome welcome
i was so happy to see the beeeehind of bloody 2011.
it was a really tough year for me in so many ways.......
i went through a lot of tough personal relationship stuff; lost some friends, that weren't really friends to begin with. i learned that "all fluff" and superficial (like my newly acquired therapist puts it) friends, that can't deal with sometimes the serious/hard things in life, are really not worth shedding tears over.
i've made peace with being "hectic" as others might put it......i prefer to call myself straight forward, honest, no bullshit. passionate.
i also experienced what it means when a friend really sticks around and works shit out with you.
i'm slowly learning what's good and bad for me and trying to listen to that little voice inside that in some weird way always knows best.
we have moved and then moved again and then inbetween were homeless for a while. finally we have a lovely house to live in and i will post some photos soon.
we've slowly but surely reinvented skermunkil, which was frikkin hard but also and still is amazingly rewarding.
i think we're setting it up and changing it to become something that, in the future, will naturally change and grow with us.
the world is becoming smaller and smaller and trends/styles will come and go faster than before.
this is exciting.
i have some new years resolutions, i kid you not.
1. get photoshop, learn it, so i can play around with my photos on my blog.
2. start an online shop, make lots of money
3. make more porcelain stuff
4. change my shop around make it awesome and actually get people to go there and buy stuff, not just faithful joburg customers on their holiday(thanks guys), but actual capetonians.
5. have more dress up parties
6. get fit
7. play more scrabble, drink more wine
8. collaborate with cool people, this is the way to go.
9. love my family more and be greatful
awesome, this year is going to be amazing.

Before you commit to getting photoshop, try downloading GIMP. It's free, and seems to do most things that photoshop does. I've been using it for years - it's easy to learn, and there are loads of online tutorials if you get stuck.
Glad to hear you've made peace with being 'hectic'. I definitely prefer my people hectic. And trying not to be can make you very very tired.

Believe His Prophets
The very
last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of
the Spirit of God. "Where there is no vision, the people perish"
(Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and
through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant
people in the true testimony.

Making it clear that no compromise can be made with regard to national security, a Parliamentary panel has expressed discontent over several extensions given by the DoT to Canadian firm Research in Motion (RIM), offering BlackBerry services in a highly encrypted format, without a satisfactory solution.
"The committee expresses unhappiness over the way the extension after extension are being given to resolve such an important issue related to security of the country," the panel on information technology said in its latest report.
Security agencies have expressed concern on highly encrypted communication made through BlackBerry phones and have demanded RIM, maker of BlackBerry phones, to provide them data in readable format.
"The committee has been apprised that out of the various services provided by BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Messenger and BlackBerry Enterprise Solution services cannot be intercepted in readable format, even if the encrypted message is made available by the service providers," the report said.
The government gave three extensions to RIM, with the last date being March 31, 2011.
Before the end of its last extension, RIM highlighted number of other highly encrypted services being provided in the country by its competitors and sought to make it an industry issue.
Thereafter, the government formed a committee to come up with mechanism to deal with encryption issues for providing data access to security agencies which is mandatory under Indian Telegraph Act.
"Constitution of committee for the purpose is another delaying tactics," it said. Regarding the problem of highly encrypted data, the Department of Telecom (DoT) is of the view that when the message is in transition, the security agencies can intercept it but cannot read it because it is highly encrypted and it is a high level of encryption.
"We have consulted experts. The only solution is, we can ban it...but it can be perceived to be (a) retrograde step because it is not only BlackBerry which uses this kind of service but all kinds of enterprise communications also use it," the DoT sources said.
There are over ten lakh BlackBerry subscribers in India and the number is growing fast. Security agencies have been demanding access to all BlackBerry services as part of its efforts to fight militancy and security threats over the Internet and through telephone communications.
The committee has firmly said that no compromise can be made when it is the question of the security of the Nation.
"The issue need to be taken strongly with BlackBerry so that the matter is resolved," the panel said. It has also asked telecom department to analyse the position internationally to know how the issue has been addressed by other nations.

Martin Jol today confirmed he was staying at Ajax although he admits his agent did hold "serious talks" with Fulham.
Jol was Fulham's top target to replace Roy Hodgson, now at Liverpool, but their bid to bring the former Tottenham boss back to London has ended in failure.
Jol told the Ajax website this morning: "Ajax let me know they didn't want me to go.
"And I don't think I can bring myself to leave Ajax at this time.
"I came here last summer to be successful, the build a good team and to have fun.
"And those three things are what I am interested in achieving next season."
It is thought Jol came to that decision following constructive talks with Ajax chief executive Rik van den Boog, who offered assurances that any funds generated from the possible departures of big names Maarten Stekelenburg, Luis Suarez and Gregory van der Wiel this summer would be ploughed back into team strengthening.
Jol added: "The club and I share each other's concerns.
"Everyone knows that Ajax have financial difficulties.
"But we all want to perform better than last season. The expectations at Ajax are always high.
"Marko Pantelic, Dennis Rommedahl, Kennedy and Gabri have all left the club and we haven't added anyone yet.
"Also, there is the uncertainty about whether a few other key players will stay."
Jol, who joined Ajax from Hamburg last year, revealed it was not the first time he had been approached during his time in Amsterdam.
"I had offers from other clubs in April and May but brushed them aside," he said.
"But this time my agent Mino Raiola held serious talks with a delegation from the British club.
"I am pleased that these hectic days are over. We can now look to the future.
"We have a focus and that is Wednesday's (Champions League qualifier) against PAOK.
"We are all going to do our best to get the team to the desired level."
Van den Boog was pleased Jol was to remain at the ArenA.
"It is annoying it has dragged on for a week," he said, "but the important thing is the result and that is good because Martin continues at Ajax."
Van den Boog was mystified how the speculation over Jol's future escalated to the extent it did.
He told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper: "I find the publicity almost laughable and I have wondered 'what is this about?'.
"On the other hand, I understand it. It is Ajax.
"There was a club that wanted our coach. And they approached him at a time when he didn't have a lot of confidence in the squad.
"The coach answered questions about it and was flattered by the attention - that I understand."
"But he is under contract with us and his relationship with the club is good."

The unrest seen in London continued to spread to the rest of England last night, as a police station in Nottingham was firebombed by youths.
There were "copycat attacks" across the Midlands, where police made scores of arrests on a night of violence. Canning Circus Police Station in Nottingham was attacked by a group of 30-40 youths but no injuries were reported, Nottinghamshire Police said.
The force later added, via its official Twitter feed, that the fire had been extinguished, with the scene being preserved for forensic evidence. It said at least eight people have been arrested in connection with the firebombing. The events marked an escalation in the disturbances outside of London, which began on Monday night in Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre with a direct attack on several shops by a group whose clear purpose was looting.
West Midlands Police made a total of 80 arrests last night as fresh disturbances led to looting and vehicles being set alight in West Bromwich and Wolverhampton. But police said the disorder was not as severe as Monday's looting in Birmingham city centre, which led to 142 arrests and 13 people being taken to hospital.
Shops including a branch of Marks & Spencer and a hi-fi store were again targeted in Birmingham last night, although two groups of youths were largely kept away from the city centre by riot police. A car and a van were set alight in Albert Street and Bordesley Street, near to the Bullring shopping complex.
A police spokeswoman added that officers had been "managing" groups of people causing disorder in several areas within the city centre during the afternoon and the evening. The police, however, dismissed rumours of incidents taking place at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
In West Bromwich there were reports of a large group of people in the town centre and two vehicles being set on fire. Earlier in the evening, police in Wolverhampton responded to reports of a large group of people in the city centre after shops were damaged. Coaches operated by National Express would not serve routes into Birmingham or Wolverhampton "until further notice", the firm said last night. Birmingham coach station was closed.
After remaining quiet for most of the evening, Smithdown Road in Liverpool, was closed by police around midnight after 200 rioters starting hurling missiles at officers.

Underwhelming. Similar to a few others I've had, but not very intense on the flavour. Compared to Sweet Temptation, this came in a distant second. Not bad, just a little weak! I'm a little spoiled :P
I definitely taste the toffee influence though. Next time I'll try adding a bit more leaf.
Also, I tried adding milk. That helped make it creamier!
