In today's market conditions where banks remain "very selective" and equity valuations are volatile, resource companies may be well served to seek to generate competitive tension amongst their capital providers by considering alternatives to traditional bank loans, equity and convertible debt.
Structured commodity finance is a collective description given to various methods of funding the pre-production of, or providing working capital for, natural resource projects by tying the production of resources to repayment obligations.
The market for such funding methods has been an increasingly active and useful alternative to traditional finance over the last few years, particularly as the purchasers of natural resources have become frequent providers of such capital.
Purchasers ranging from state-owned enterprises, to utilities and trading companies such as Nobel Group and MRI/CWT have demonstrated the willingness to secure future off-take of commodities by paying upfront, and often taking on considerable pre-production risk in the meantime.
Click here to view chart.
- The producer is a company with a project that is up and running or potentially as early as in pre-bank feasibility study stage. The producer requires capital to invest in infrastructure and capital expenditure or provide working capital.
- The trader is a company that is interested chiefly in taking delivery of some or all of the project's output and is willing to provide the capital to obtain the future off-take.
- The parties enter into an agreement whereby the producer receives a "prepayment" and undertakes to deliver over a specified period (usually one or two years) a minimum amount of production.
- Product deliveries are set to be sufficient to amortise the prepayment, usually by requiring more product to be delivered than the expected spot market prices would suggest necessary. If during a period the value of the product delivered is more than required to amortise that portion of the prepayment, the trader pays the producer for the additional product at pre-agreed discount to the spot price.
Other structures may be used to suit the particular producer or the project. For example, if the product requires refining and the producer wishes to retain some exposure to the refined product's spot market price, an off-balance structure could be put into place that might appear as follows:
Click here to view chart.
- The trader/financier agrees to purchase or prepay for the delivery of some portion of the project's product at the refinery gate on an on-going basis.
- The trader/financier contracts with the processor to refine the raw product into its market-ready form.
- The trader/financier then sells some portion of the resulting refined product back to the producer (or more likely markets that portion on behalf of the producer) and sells the rest to the market on its own account.
Going one step further, the transaction could be structured in advance to allow the trader to refinance its prepayment on a limited recourse basis once production is achieved. The bank would take an equitable assignment over the trader's contractual rights with the producer and require a payment account to be secured in its favour.
Traders often seek to enter into marketing contracts with producers. They generally prefer exclusive rights to bring the product to market to avoid competing with the producer in the market.
Traders may also be convinced to take small equity stakes in a producer, however most trading companies do not want to be long-term shareholders, preferring to use their capital to trade. That being said, Japanese and Chinese trading companies have been seen to prefer just such a long term shareholding, with the Chinese perhaps preferring larger stakes as well as being interested in learning operational lessons.

Pre-race: Friday night we packed up. I was really antsy. I bought two bags of Percy Pigs for the weekend and taped 5 20p coins to one bag for toilet stops along the race course, planning for the second to go in my post-race kit (insert foreshadowing times two here). We took the train from London to Blackpool on Saturday. Once we arrived, we dropped our things at the Warwick Holiday Flats. Honestly, I could have chosen better for a place to stay, but when I was making my selection I was looking for a place my sister's boyfriend could join us at and a place our dog could go as well. Plus, I didn't want to spend a ton of money. Neither my sister's boyfriend or the dog came along, and I think it would have been a good investment to spend a little more money to have a place with a bed that, to quote Meg, didn't have a bed that "felt like £34/night." But it was clean, and convenient, and what more can a girl ask for?
Next we went for a walk in search of the race expo. As you should all know by now, my sense of direction leaves a little something to be desired. I was completely convinced that the race headquarters was south of our home for the weekend. We walked a good part of the promenade, and asked a couple of people where the Hilton hotel was. The first people we asked were the little old ladies volunteering at the lifeboat museum. They didn't really understand my American accent, or weren't sure where the Hilton was, or something, so they vaguely pointed north but I didn't really believe them. We started walking north, though, and then asked one of the horse & carriage drivers. He also said north, and said, walk, and then walk some more, and then walk some more, and you can't miss it. I think he was angling for a fare to the hotel, but whatever – I'm about to run a marathon – how far can it be? Anyway we walked north about a mile, and lo and behold, there it was!
Race expo: a little disappointing. It was maybe an hour before closing, and they seemed pretty ready to pack up. One set of tables, with things for sale in plastic tubs and no one staffing it. One lady handing out bags for your kit. A couple people offering pre-race massages for a donation. A few more stuffing race bags. The end. I get my kit bag, and we leave. I was glad we found the hotel/race start/finish, but otherwise a totally miss-able experience. Dinner at Tiramisu on the recommendation of both the internet and our hotel proprietor – delicious. I suspect this is the nicest restaurant in Blackpool, a town which is home of fried fried. We then attempted to buy something resembling healthy for breakfast. All the big stores were closed, and the off-licenses specialised in beer, cigarettes, and lotto tickets – if you're lucky you can get some crisps. Home again – having walked a good portion of Blackpool, I feel much better equipped to analyse the race map and try to understand it but we're still confused.
Race morning: No breakfast to be found. No grocery stores open – most people here were coming home from the bars as we were getting up at 6:30am. I arrive at the race at 7:30 hoping someone there will be selling something other than Lucozade bars. No dice. I dig the Percy Pigs out of my post-race kit bag and eat them. I drop off my kit bag and Meg asks me how it's organised – will I have to dig through piles of bags to find mine? I say that by the time I finish I suspect there won't be that much digging to do. We wander around. The race commentator is talking to or about most of the people who walk by, especially if they've got a big contingent of supporters or are wearing shirts that say which charity they're running for. I have neither. He ignores us. Slightly before 9 it's time to line up.
Race: I find a couple women who are talking about planning for 12 minute miles and line up near them. There are 1900 people here, around 700 (actualyy 502) for the marathon and the rest for the half marathon. Maybe 5 wheelchair participants between the two events. They set up at the front. The race commentator says the gun will go twice – once for the wheelchair racers and once for the rest of us. I faintly hear the gun go off and assume the wheelchair racers have started. We start shuffling forward. I think that we're just getting up to the mat for the start. Suddenly people in front of us are jogging and I realise we're off.
Mile 1 is at a 10:30 pace. Too fast, but it feels comfortable at the time, and I'm staying with my companions and most of the back of the pack. (In retrospect, I'm glad I adopted this strategy – I think I would have quit if I'd been last from the very first mile.) Mile 2 finds my left foot going numb, but I'm determined to run the first 3 miles before breaking into the planned run-walk so I do. Around the 2 mile mark I see Meg before she sees me and I run up and give her a slightly sweaty kiss and she takes a photo of me way too close. At mile 3 I stop to retie my shoe and walk the first minute of the next mile.
For the first 10 miles I'm walking 1 minute out of every mile, eating a Percy Pig during this minute, and doing 11:30 miles or so. Then the lack of breakfast starts to get me. At the halfway point I call Meg, say "I'm at the halfway and fading – can you get me a banana?" I see her at mile 15 or so. She brings me a banana and a big water. I think I snapped at her. Apparently someone behind me commented on what a great support she is. The racers are thinning out, but I'm definitely still in it. I get her to take my phone out of my back pocket because my lower back is really hurting and I don't want to have anything there that isn't absolutely necessary.
My iPod has 4+ hours of unique songs on it, plus my book. I've listened to OAR's Old Man Time about 7 times at this point, and several other songs (including more OAR) are in heavy rotation. This is already irritating so I try out the book. That lasts about a half hour before I need the beat again, and put my iPod back on "shuffle" so I can listen to the same 6 songs over and over. (I'm looking at my playlist now, and there are songs on there I KNOW I didn't hear, and lots that I heard over and over and over.)
The run-walk strategy means I am constantly running past people and then being passed by them, so I see my 12-minute-mile companions quite a bit but in general we don't run together much. From the crappy pre-race map I knew that this was a two-lap marathon, but I didn't really realise how disheartening it would be to be lapped.
I make the first turn on the second lap, and the traffic cops drive by saying they're going to open the road again. I say something unrepeatable in front of a family with 5 kids under 8. I'm sure the parents were less than impressed – sorry. I pass a woman going the other way who is shuffling worse than I am, and I shout to her "Hang in there, we're going to finish this!" Some crazy drunken stag weekend guys repeat this at me. I ignore them, mostly because I don't have the energy to give them the finger. The race marshals are encouraging me to run in the road as it's easier on the feet but the cops are telling me I have to run on the "pavement" (sidewalk). I'm hitting the wall hard, and walking as much as I'm running. Miserable. Wondering why I'm doing this, and if I can do it. There's no one from the race around – hardly any race officials and I'm just shuffling past the holiday-makers by myself. Lots of people who have already finished are walking back. Some of them cheer me on, most think I'm just jogging off an earlier finish and ignore me.
Mile 19 – I see Meg. I'm walking. She gives me another banana and asks how I'm doing. I say that everything hurts. She says "do you want to keep going?" I snap, "I'm going to finish." I suspect she could have outwalked me at this point, but I made it pretty clear I didn't want her to walk with me, taking off at a shuffle until I can't pick my feet up any more and walk some more. I think I was probably the last racer at this point, and the marshals look bored and I have to ask where to go several times. I finish my (second bag of) Percy Pigs somewhere in here and drop the empty bag – the one that I had taped my toilet money to. This will come back to haunt me around mile 23. My hamstrings and lower back are really cramping up and I have to stop to stretch a couple of times.
I'm off the road and onto the sea wall now, which I know from reading previous years' race reports is often the toughest part for people because it's about 3 miles of concrete in each direction. Race officials or cops or Red Cross people or someone keep driving by, checking out my race number – I can only assume this is so they can radio back to the finish line as to how many people are still out there and how much longer they'll all have to hang out. I think they were saying things to me but I was inside my head and with my headphones on so I would mostly just smile and keep slogging away. Part of me hopes they'll make me stop and say I'm doing too badly to keep going, because everything hurts and I don't know how much longer I can do this but I am too tough quit without someone to be angry at about it.
Mile 21 or so I start to rally but I also start to have to pee. I realise I've thrown out my toilet-opening coins. I consider ducking behind any number of structures but am afraid to stop moving forward. I consider peeing on the run, but don't really want to piss myself for a 5+ hour marathon. I catch up with a guy that I think is walking off his already-finished marathon, but somewhere around mile 23 I realise he's still slogging through it with me. I pass a couple guys who are walking, and fading faster than I am. I haven't seen shuffling lady for a while. My original race companions see me about to make the second turn of the second lap and give me a shout. I'm getting hungry. I'm walking about half the time and leapfrogging with the guy I thought had already finished.
At mile 25 I start running/jogging/shuffling more than I'm walking again but I've lost the guy – he's still in my sights but when I walked up a hill he got away from me and I know I can't catch him at this point since we're on roughly the same pace. At mile 26 I "sprint," but have started this too soon and have to slow down from 26.05-26.15. I manage to run across the finish line, and Meg is there, cheering her head off for me.
The race officials look bored, but give me a "congratulations" anyway. I get a medal. The guy who cuts your chip off has moved up to just after the finish mat and I'm not really ready to stop moving forward at this point so when he tells me to stand still I almost bowl him over before steadying myself on his shoulders and bracing myself so he can lean down and cut my chip off. The race commentator has gone home – apparently he was there until his buddy finished at 4-½ hours and then he left. I get water and a t-shirt and some Lucozade and a bag full of snacks. Meg tells me that I got the second-to-last medal – apparently they didn't order enough and they were going to have to give a couple of people 2 half-marathon medals or give them the option to wait 3 months to have more sent to them. She tried to get the officials to give her one, but they wouldn't because I "can't get one unless I finish." Meg tells them they don't know me, and that I will finish even if I'm crawling across the line. The race officials promise that if it's close I'll get one and they'll make someone else wait. Good thing, because I think I might have killed someone at that point if I didn't get my medal right then.
We walk back to the race headquarters. I manage to make my way up the stairs to the portable toilets. We go inside and I get my kit bag – I was right, there's no digging to be done because there are only 3 other kit bags waiting. I've lost all shame and change my clothes in public. I put on the shirt from my favourite sushi place and my medal and a pair of pyjama pants and flip-flops. Meg takes pictures. We shuffle back to our hotel where I shower and find every single place on me that's chafed.
I eat a bunch of snacks and we take the tram down to Pleasure Beach where we ride the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe and stop in the casino for a very delicious beer. We try to find someplace decent for dinner but everything is deep-fried grease. Finally we go to a local Italian chain-type place. I finish my pasta and say, I don't think I want dessert, but Meg says she's ordering some for me anyway and we order the toffee & brownie sundae for 2 to share and it's all I can do not to slurp up the melted ice cream out of the bottom of the bowl. A half an hour later we're trying to watch a movie and I'm asleep by 10.
*This race report was heavily edited by Meg, because she has a better memory of what happened when than I do.

"I say something unrepeatable in front of a family with 5 kids under 8."
Ha ha, classic!
Well done, great report. Can't believe you almost didn't get a medal. I'd have cried. I'd definitely had said something unrepeatable.

It's interesting how animal imagery permeates our lives in ways that we probably don't even notice. As children, we learn to read the alphabet and count helped along by drawings of animals while our clothing has all kinds of prints featuring baby animals. The decor of childhood bedrooms is often centered around animals, and toddlers drift off to sleep to the tales of Winnie the Pooh and the Cat in the Hat.
For adults, the animal imagery decreases, and to some extent is replaced by animal patterns. Animal patterns, which imitate the coats of wild animals, appear on our clothing and accessories such as gloves and handbags, as well as on household textiles such as carpets, decorative pillows and sheets.
Not surprisingly, these patterns have made their way onto papers as well, both realistically and in a highly stylized way. Translating an animal's markings leaves so much room for creativity. They lend themselves well to stark, graphic shapes or can be simplified yet realistic. They can float on a textured or modulated background, and are highly readable in almost any form.
In any paper store, you'll find a large selection of sheets based on animal patterns. The big cats are popular. We'll start with the tiger.
Leopards and cheetahs are well represented also. These papers are fun to work with because although they are often crisp and graphic, they seem to impart the warmth of animals.
Look how abstract they can get. This print is metallic gold, yet still reads as an animal pattern.
The next paper shows how a simple color switch can change the interpretation of a pattern. This print is probably derived from a cat and if it were printed in black on tan, might read as such. In black and white, however, it seems to belong to a Dalmation puppy.
One of my favorite ways to use animal pattern papers is for making bookmarks. The graphic shapes often create a crisp counterpoint to more complex elements, as you can see on the bookmarks below. On the left is a stylized zebra print, in the center is a sliver of lizard skin overlapping the seashell, and on the right, a big splash of giraffe print sits incongruously above the carefully dressed maiden. The bookmarks are laminated, with the theme continuing on the other side as well.
An interesting question is why the coats of animals have patterns at all. For predators, the answer is mainly related to camouflage, but in the case of zebras, it may be so that predators have a more difficult time singling out an individual animal from the herd. A few zebra prints follow.
Even in another color, a zebra is a zebra.
This zebra pattern seems to have been caught in a windstorm.
Giraffe papers are a favorite.
If I were an alligator or crocodile, I'd rather stay in my swamp while someone imitates my beautiful skin with paper. The two colorful papers below are embossed. This means that they have actual dimension; the pattern is raised and printed in a shiny color, further lending the paper a realistic leather look.
The detail in some of these sheets is amazing. I think this is an imitation of shagreen, which is the skin of sharks and stingrays.
I love this embossed sheet of white on white.
Some animal print sheets are a mystery. What animal might this be? I don't know, but it sure is furry.
I'm not sure about this one either; it's probably cheetah. This lovely flowing pattern is a batik sheet, its shapes created using a lost wax method.
And to finish, a few more bookmarks, each using imitations of reptile skin.

Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages since we often post quickie updates there when we're on-the-go.
During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.
Tori is touring in 2017 to support the release of Native Invader. The European legs runs from early September through early October and the North American leg runs from late October to early December. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
Be sure to check out our other sections, Tour — where setlists and other concert-related material will be updated daily while Tori is on tour — and You. Lots of interesting stuff!
Barnes and Noble has updated their listing for A Piano: The Collection with a new photo showing the contents of the box: a wide-booklet and the five CDs which are packaged in digipacks with (surprise!) piano-themed cover artwork. Looks lovely…but it's still not going to fit on my CD shelf!
Thanks to Darrell for tipping us off.
DJ Darren DeVivo of radio station 90.7 (WFUV) in New York did a four-song tribute for Tori's birthday around noon on the 22nd. He gave Tori's rarer recordings some air time:
Strange Fruit
A Case Of You
Heart Of Gold
We're very impressed!
[Addendum: A lot of you have wondered, "Why all covers? Couldn't they have included at least one of Tori's originals?" Turns out it was billed as a collection of Tori covers during the broadcast. View the entire playlist for the August 22nd program.]
Tori turns 43 today! We hope that she (and you) are doing something delicious to celebrate.
For instance, if you happen to be in the Nashville area, we recommend your delicious activity be attending the Nashville RAINN Benefit concert at 3rd and Lindsley on Thursday, August 24th. The evening will feature performances by The Gabe Dixon Band, Garrison Starr, Rachael Sage, Sandra McCracken and Tyler James and promises to be a fun way to help raise some money and awareness for RAINN!
According to Emily Saliers, Matt Chamberlain is taking his sticks on the road with the Indigo Girls this fall. Emily had some kind words about Matt, who is new to their fanbase but no stranger to Toriphiles:
We're also fortunate to have Clare Kenny on bass, Carol Isaacs on keys, and for the first time, Matt Chamberlain on drums. He played on "Despite Our Differences." You're going to love him.
This, of course, means Matt won't be in the studio or touring with Tori during these months. But we can share him, right?
Thanks to Matthew for the heads-up!
Not that you can buy it, yet, but A Piano: The Collection is now listed at BestBuy.com (to the tune of $69.99) and at Amazon.com for
the list price of $74.98 the reduced price of $54.99. Thanks to Roel for pointing it out!
Several people have written to mention other online retailers that are taking pre-orders for the box set. Some of these include (ordered by price):
Prices last updated on October 2nd 2006.
Note: If you come across a site selling the set in a region we don't have covered, or if you find a site with a price that beats the pants off of the ones we already have listed, please let us know.
Toriphile Matthew Richards wrote an article for the New Jersey-based Home News Tribune's Teen Scene section called 25 Most Influential Albums, featuring Tori's Boys for Pele at No. 24. She's in pretty good company: the list includes Tapestry by Carole King, Ladies of the Canyon by Joni Mitchell, Nevermind by Nirvana, and Thriller by Michael Jackson.
Of Boys for Pele, Matt writes:
One of the most notable CDs in my list is Tori Amos' "Boys For Pele." I am obsessed with Tori, so picking only one CD by her was certainly the most difficult part of this undertaking. I decided on "Boys For Pele" because it is her most complex, intricate work, with beautifully woven songs around the concept of a breakup.
Thanks for letting us know about the article, Matt!
XM Satellite Radio and Starbucks Hear Music have announced that they will jointly release a compilation CD consisting of live performances from XM's music performance and interview program, Artist Confidential. XM Artist Confidential, Vol. 1 will feature exclusive live tracks by Bonnie Raitt, Coldplay, Willie Nelson, Roseanne Cash, Raul Middon, Phil Collins, Tracy Chapman, Joan Baez, Bruce Hornsby, Cyndi Lauper, Robert Plant and Tori. Her track is "Sweet The Sting". The collection will be on-sale only at Starbucks stores and though their on-line store starting on August 29th.
Read on for the full press release and track listing.
Billboard reports that Tori will be one of several artists contributing cover songs to Between The Covers, an upcoming compilation benefiting AIDS research. The collection will be released on September 12th by Sony BMG in the United States and Nettwerk Records in Canada. Tori's track is her cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Amazon has a listing for the CD with the cover artwork and the full track listing.
Also on September 12th, VH1, VH1 Classic and Logo will all be airing a half-hour special about the project. At this time, it's unknown if Tori will be included in that program.
Thanks to Robbie, Chuck and Cain for telling us about this!
RAVE HD, a High Definition TV channel available on DISH Network satellite TV, will be airing the episode of Soundstage featuring Tori several times over the next few days (all times Eastern):
Also this weekend, Ovation will be airing the Music Express interview with Tori, about which we are still looking for some details, two more times:
Finally, Showtime Too will be airing Mayor Of The Sunset Strip, a documentary about Los Angeles deejay Rodney Bingenheimer, on Monday, August 14th at 3:55AM Eastern (late Sunday night ). Tori is one of many performers and celebrities who were interviewed for this film so her face time is quite minimal.
Tori received a mention in Inspired by the Unthinkable, a sidebar to the cover story of the August 7, 2006 issue of Newsweek which samples some of the art created in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks:
October 28, 2002
Tori Amos releases Scarlet's Walk, her compelling statement on America, post-9/11: "It's easy to say 'these evildoers,' and yet our own country was founded in the same way," she says. "Talk to the Cherokee nation."
Newsweek has posted a multimedia version of this sidebar on their website with clips of the artists they singled out. Tori's is a still shot of her performing live while "I Can't See New York" plays.
Thanks to kaycee and Rachel for letting us know about this!

News just recently broke about Rob Bironas passing away due to getting in a car crash Saturday night in Nashville.
According to Metro Nashville Police, Bironas, 36, lost control of his 2009 GMC Yukon Denali after speeding, before his SUV went off a road and hit several trees before landing upside down. The crash occurred after 11 p.m., less than a mile from his home.
Bironas was then taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead immediately upon arrival. No drugs or alcohol were found at the scene of the accident.
Bironas was best remembered for being the starting kicker for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League from 2005 to 2013. Prior to that, he was a kicker for the Arena Football League's Carolina Cobras and then the New York Dragons, where, despite playing just one season, he had managed to be one of the league's top kickers.
Bironas played his college career mostly at Auburn, becoming a Lou Groza Award semifinalist in 1998, before transferring to Georgia Southern in 2000, where he was part of the team's NCAA Division I-AA National Championship season.
During his time with the Tennessee Titans, Bironas connected on 239 of his 279 field goal attempts, an 85.7 percent success rate, good for fourth best in NFL history. Of his 279 attempts, 125 of them exceeded 40 yards. He connected on over 75 percent of them, the third highest percentage in the NFL since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
Bironas finished his career as the Titans' second all-time leading scorer with 1,032 points. For seven straight seasons, he scored over 100 points, a team record. In 2011, he set a league record by making a 40 yard or longer field goal in ten straight games.
Over the course of his career, Bironas made a franchise-record 11 game-winning field goals, the two most notable being a team record 60-yarder against the Indianapolis Colts in 2006, and a 29-yarder in 2007 against the Houston Texans, a game in which he kicked an NFL record eight field goals. As a result of that epic performance, he garnered his lone Pro Bowl and AP All Pro selection.
Bironas was cut by the Titans this past offseason after contractual issues. He had tried out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers soon thereafter, and had just worked out for the Detroit Lions a few days ago.
If the proximity to his home at the time of the accident, as well as other details weren't tragic enough, Bironas had just married Rachel Bradshaw, daughter of Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, this past June. Unfortunately, Bironas didn't get much time to establish his life after his NFL career was temporarily, and now permanently, put on hold.
In a statement made by his former team, the Tennessee Titans said, "We are deeply saddened to hear the tragic news from last night about Rob Bironas. Rob made a significant impact as a player in his nine years with the team and more importantly touched many lives in the Nashville community off the field. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Rachel, and his family during this very difficult time."
RIP Rob Bironas
(January 29, 1978 – September 20, 2014)

Now that I've been roughin' it (that's what I call this period in my life where I've been surviving without cable), I've learned to discover the wonderful world of educational television. I watch PBS often, mainly because that's one of the few channels that doesn't turn all fuzzy on me. It's also enabled me to discover other television shows that I refused to watch in the past. There is this one show called "Friends". Ever heard of it?
Yeah, I know it was popular when it was on. But I refused to watch a bunch of idiotic white kids prance around New York as if they had never seen a minority before. It was the preppy version of 'Living Single' (which I loved) and I refused to support it. Yes, I've watched a few episodes in the past and I know how it ends (Ross and Rachel, blah), but I was never overly impressed.
Thursday nights used to be the best night for television. Back in college, we'd pile into the TV lounge and prepare for a night of New York Undercover, Living Single and whatever else that was black and on the air. We dared anyone to touch the channel:
(Freshman year, Urban U. Two white girls approach the TV)
Girl #1: I'm sooo loving Rachel's hair! I can't wait to see what she does next.
Girl #2: Me either! Let's change the channel.
(Alarm sounds and a group of black students crowd the TV set)
Black student #1: Halt! There will be no watching of the 'Friends' here.
Girl #1: Why not? Everybody watches Friends.
Black student #2: We're watching New York Undercover.
Girl #2: What's that?
Black student #3: It's a black-a** show for black-a** people. So get outta here before we start a revolution.
Crowd: REVOLUTION!!!!!!
Girl #1&2: (huddled close together) Er... let's get outta here.
Maybe I've mellowed a little sense then. Here, 'Friends' comes on at 7 and 7:30 on weeknights. At first, I just kept the show on for a little background noise, then I found myself cracking up. I hate Ross -- he's sooo friggin' pitiful -- but I love him just the same. Chandler gets on my nerves with all his antics, but he cracks me up. I'd say my favorite character is Monica, who is a much more neurotic version of myself. Joey's just dirty, but he makes me laugh. Good times.
So there you have it, my secret is out of the bag. I watch 'Friends' and <*gasp*> I like it. I'll have to keep this a secret from my revolutionary homies.

I also got into Friends rather late - though not as late as you! It was a funny show; can't deny that. I understood the issues people had with Friends but sometimes, I just feel like life is too short to avoid a good laugh.

Forbidden Affections(1996)
A novel by Jo Beverley
Anna Featherstone is thrilled to leave her rural Derbyshire home to travel to Regency London with her family for her sister Maria's first season. Her delight is doubled when her family rents an elegant townhouse and she finds herself sleeping in an exact replica of the heroine's Gothic bedroom from the novel Forbidden Affections by her favorite author. Little does she know that the stylized chamber hides a secret connecting door that becomes a passageway to danger--and romance.

Susan's Profile
I've been working with pattern and colour on both paper and textiles for over 20 years but have just returned to working with silk recently. I love working very freely by hand without stencils, stamps or blocks and I never tire of playing with colour. This quote from famous scarf designer Vera Neumann expresses exactly how I feel about colour ~
"Color sings to me. Color is such a marvelous way of expressing emotion. We have so many problems n this world; color just brings a little bit of joy into our lives."
I hope my colors sing to you too- enjoy!
(For those of you who supported my vintage jewelry shop over the years - many thanks! I enjoyed it immensely, but now would prefer to devote my time to my newly resurrected love of dyeing and painting fabric. Your support was greatly appreciated…

This course will give delegates the fundamentals of machinery safety, also definitions of assembly of machinery based on several stage machinery configurations and required control functions when integrating electric chain hoists, winches, tracking systems and stage lifts with control systems and trusses. Travel of groups of machines requires a dedicated risk assessment in order to establish the necessary safety and control functions in the event of failure. The course is also designed to explain the European requirements related to the integration of machinery with control systems, the EC compliance obligations and the technical documentation required in order to claim EC presumption of conformity.

It will talk about hazards identification and allocation, risk estimation and evaluation and it will examine the three-step criteria of risk reduction based on the mechanical, electrical and functional safety assessment.
Focus of the training is to give to manufacturers of stage machineries and control systems, the correct framework in which to design, test and validate the inherent safety design, safeguarding and complementary measures; and to draft the machinery information for User Manuals.

/loud knocking on the door/
Me: /rolls over and checks my phone. 8:30./ Who are you go away
Girl Voice: "Annyeongeseyo?"
Boy Voice: "Ne, annyeongeseyo. Sylvi ieyo?"
Me: Oh it's for Sylvi. /rolls back under blankets and sleeps for two more hours/
This was the third time a mailman had come to our door with tickets.
/over dinner/
Me: Sylvi what did you get this morning?
Sylvi: tickets for Kyuhyun's musical.
Me: oh cool! When is it?
Sylvi: Christmas day…
Me: /swallows bibimbap roughly/ you're coming back for Christmas?
Sylvi: no…
Me: well…my cot will be here
Having Sylvi around has been great. We've accepted the fact that we are pretty much a couple. While I'm at work all day, she's off doing fun things with her favorite k-pop star. I've only gone to Music Core, but there are music shows every day of the week all around Seoul. Plus fan meets, fan signs, and the actual concert (s).
I get home at 10:30 and we go out to eat at one of the many restaurants surrounding my apartment and catch up about our days.
My life has upgraded in the time since Sylvi came a week ago.
1.I have internet in my apartment! If you've been following this blog, you know that for 8 months I've been in coffee shops until the wee hours of the morning downing hot choco lattes and other foods good for your mind but not your body. A simple call, internet homeboy came, played around with my plug, Q&A session in Korean with Sylvi, 10 minutes later my loft had finally joined the network of mostly useless information that is both the bane and the benefit of my generation. Now I can laugh out loud at dramas and not be stared at. Now I can talk to my family and friends in my pajamas. Now I can blog and eat something other than hot choco.
2.Speaking of eating something other than hot choco, with Sylvi's help I crossed off another thing on my bucket list. Using the yogiyo app, I decided I wanted 자짱밥 (rice with an omelette and jajang sauce). I clicked the picture I wanted, entered my address and order, and 10 minutes later rice guy came with a credit card machine and a giant maroon briefcase. After a Q&A session with Sylvi, he opened it and brought out a steaming plate of 자짱밥 and some 만두. Okay yay Mallory! You ordered food! Good for you!
No you don't understand. This wasn't Lotteria or fried chicken or pizza. Or even delivery McDonalds (which I have done). This was actual food from an actual restaurant. And the food didn't come in styrofoam containers to be disposed of and destroy the environment. My rice was on an actual plate, my mandu in an actual bowl, and my soup in an actual soup bowl. With little kimchis and radishes on the side obviously. This was real food from a sit down restaurant that I had delivered to my door.
He also gave me a little blue garbage bag. When you're done you put your empty plates in the bag and set them bag outside. Sometime in the night rice guy comes and takes your bag back to their owner so you walk outside and it's like it never happened.
3. G-Market–a third Korean hurdle that I've wanted to conquer but with my lack of skillz (and time) have been unable to. G-Market is the Amazon of Korea–a website where you enter your payment information, buy stuff, and and then they handle paying the suppliers. But G-Market has gone a step further in that you can also choose to add the purchase to your phone bill. Which makes it even easier to spend money. Also…G-Market is palli palli. I got my first purchase, a pair of shoes, in 24 hours. 24 hours. And no, I didn't select express shipping. All shipping is free. And delivered to your door. In record time. So Sylvi showed me how to pay, and I now I have a dangerous amount of things I want to buy at my fingertips and a dangerously little amount of money to buy them with.
Right now Sylvi is laying on the cot that a previous owner left behind. She's been streaming Kyuhyun's new song for literally 36 hours to increase his chances of winning Solo Artist of the Year. I went downstairs this morning and she had it playing by her bedside.
And now–
/sylvi scrolling on her phone muttering/ I don't want to share my pepero party…
me: /laughs/ what?
sylvi: I want pepero but I don't need this many.
me: how many pepero is it?
sylvi: 40 boxes for $7…
me: no Sylvi. I do not even have enough friends to eat 40 boxes of pepero.
sylvi: yes but I don't want to share my pepero party…..I just want to share it with Kyuhyun…/goes back to scrolling/

620 WDAE is reporting that the Bucs have brought Daunte Culpepper in for a visit today. Culepper arrived and was met at the airport by Jon Gruden, Bruce Allen, and Doug Williams on the tarmac. The gentlemen had a meeting and than Culpepper got back on his jet and left Tampa. Apparently Jon Gruden can never get enough quarterbacks.
Why do the Bucs have any interest in Daunte Culpepper? The Bucs have invested a lot of money in the quarterback position already giving big contracts to Jeff Garcia, Chris Simms, and still hoping Jake Plummer comes out of retirement. Also, Gruden made a big deal to the press about how he loved Garcia and has always wanted to work with him. If Garcia is the answer like Gruden has said, than why has he spent so much time on Plummer and now on Culpepper? What Message does this send to not only the quarterbacks on the team, but all the players?
Gruden has never been happy with any quarterback he has ever coached outside of Rich Gannon, and even that relationship was tumultuous at best. Garcia is the best example of a Rich Gannon quarterback and can help this team, which is why he is the best option for Gruden, so why is he looking anywhere else?
Gruden wants a veteran quarterback who can run around and make plays with his legs, Culpepper's knee is shot and he can't move around. Also, Culpepper has not been in the west coast system and we have been told multiple times that Gruden's playbook takes a long time to learn. This is a waste of time for Bucs, which could be used on helping the other quarterbacks. Time will also be a factor come training camp with all of these quarterbacks. They will need time to showcase all the quarterbacks the Bucs have on the roster, but how can they show anything with so many quarterbacks around?
Gruden will never be happy with any guy who is playing QB for him, unless it is him. He is supposed to be a quarterback guru and boy genius, but Bucs fans have not seen one ounce of that with any quarterback since he has been in Tampa. Gruden has not developed one quarterback and has shown no patience even with the veterans that he brings in and looks for the next quarterback before the first one takes a snap.
This situation is one more example of how bad of a coach Gruden is and just how desperate he has become to save his job. It is no secret that Gruden is on a very hot seat and if the Bucs do not win he will be gone. What Gruden should be doing is focusing in on guys that can help us win like Garcia and not wasting time on crap like Culpepper. What Gruden may be doing is looking for a fall guy when we start to lose. When they ship starts to sink he will need a guy to go down with it and point the finger at, and he doesn't want that to be him.

Gruden brings Culpepper in, WHY????

Gruden knows that Garcia has only a little bit of time left in the NFL. If 'Pep' comes in he won't play this season and if they need to let go of Simms it doesn't matter, none of that money is guaranteed. Daunte would be a great addition for years to come.

The problem is the contract can't be for more than a year or two or else they will owe him a bonus. The Bucs would want a minimum risk contract and have him sit the bench, but thats not what C-Pep is looking for. Garcia has two years left so they need a guy to come in after him and C-Pep maybe a guy to do that in two years, but i don't think the contract could be done.

A friend took me to Churchill National Park a while back. I have been looking for new sites around the greater Melbourne with good photo opportunities. It was a the first time I had visited this site and it was pretty good. There are plenty of tracks and I found good range of forest bird species and a colony of Superb Fairywrens including this nicely coloured male below.

VMware NSX Environment Shutdown and Startup
For all of us home_lab_fanatics =) we do not keep our equipment running unless we're testing something or working on something and you don't want to waist much time on the shutdown/startup process.
NSX is now a permanent part of my nested homelab and I need to get the networking up before delving into other stuff, so when powering on the nested environment I have been noticing an issue with my ESXi hosts where when I hit the installation menu in the Networking and Security menu I need to resolve the issue with both of my clusters and when I hit resolve all hosts start getting the agent reinstalled/reconfigured and afterwards everything is normal.
Now, I did know that there is an issue with the shutdown/startup sequence. I had followed this KB but the issue still persisted, after a couple of trials on I got things to work with a 100% healthy status.
The main issue is in the first two lines of the KB and I quote:
- Power on vCenter Server and the ESXi hosts and ensure that the initialization completes.
- Power on NSX Manager and ensure all NSX services are up. For example, ensure that NSX Manager has connected to the lookup service.
My current setup is:
- Two sites.
- First site:
- Compute and Edge Cluster
- Controller's Cluster
- Second site:
- Compute and Edge Cluster
- Management components are running directly on the physical hosts.
My working startup/shutdown process is as follows:
- Power on PSC Servers.
- Power on vCenter Servers.
- Power on the NSX Managers.
- Power on all ESXi hosts.
When powering on the ESXi hosts prior to the NSX managers I am always getting the host agent issue (a side note, I am currently on vSphere 6.5 and NSX 6.3.1).
If anyone has tested this on physical NSX enabled clusters (including collapsed clusters as well) I would be glad to update this post with your findings.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!

In light of the increased terror threat level following Monday's horrific attack in Manchester, Armed Police officers are now providing a very visible presence in key locations on the Isle of Wight, including ferry terminals.
Although the Island has for sometime had dedicated Authorized Firearms Officers (AFOs) available around the clock, visible patrols and checks with weapons drawn is something not previously seen on the Island in normal day-to-day life.
2 local Armed Officers have been conducting random checks at Red Funnel's East Cowes ferry terminal and Hovertravel in Ryde, providing a reassuring – or maybe alarming – presence to those travelling across the Solent.
Hampshire Constabulary earlier this week confirmed that additional armed and unarmed patrols will be carried out at key locations with a focus on crowded places, including transport hubs and shopping centres.
Chief Superintendent Lucy Hutson has said:
"I would like to reassure you that the move to critical is something that we prepare for. We will continually review our deployments and take all possible steps to keep people safe within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
"At this time we need everyone to remain alert but not alarmed. We need your help to help us protect our communities and disrupt those who seek to harm us. I would urge you to contact the police straight away if you believe that someone is acting suspiciously.
"Our officers and staff will continue to provide a visible presence in our communities and we have the specialist resources in place to respond in an emergency."

In a surreal divergence of entertainment and reality, our society broadcasts popular food shows in which chefs routinely assemble impossibly complex dishes while our schools produce students who cannot identify a healthy home-cooked meal, much less actually prepare one.
In a similar fashion, fitness has been marginalized in much of American education; in our rush to raise math and science to "must haves," we have neglected finance and the science of nutrition and fitness–applications of math and science that really count.
In fitness, another surreal divergence has opened between the entertainment provided by "extreme sports" touting superhuman endurance and daring, and the average American's ability and desire to run a mile (or even a kilometer). We have been brainwashed into a nation of spectator/consumers who know very little about living a nutritious and fit life. We are content to watch extreme sports training on TV but are averse to becoming even marginally fit ourselves.

night flight to SE Asia - will change kids into PJs.....what would you wear though for ultimate comfort?(4 Posts)
I've not done a long haul night flight for about 10 years and cannot remember what they are like for sleeping in economy, and how comfortable or not it is.....
I'm taking a 2.5 and 7 year old who'll get into PJs once they're close to crashing out (flight takes off at 6.30pm GMT).
What would you wear though to make sleeping as comfortable as poss? I've a pair of cotton trousers I wear for yoga which I thought would do the trick. Are these flights worth adults changing out of jeans? Will I look a twat?! Not that I care! I know lots of glossy mags say wear cashmere socks and a pashmina etc but I'm not totally geared up for that.
Any top tips gratefully received!
soft comfy tracksuit. you are more likely to like envious looks than anything else if you are in cotton trousers. was stunned (by my own lack of foresight) to see the aussies on my overnight flight change into essentially ther PJs while i was stuck in uncomfortable jeans! never made that mistake again. warm sock. did once indulge in a poncho (altho not with the tracksuit!) and was very comfy but had no earthly use for it when i got there, lugging it around subtropical asia!
You're actually expecting to be able to get some sleep while squeezed into an economy class seat and in charge of two DCs? Good luck... I haven't managed more than 30 mins continuous sleep on any of the dozens of 8 or 12 hour flights I've done with my two...
But to give yourself the best chance, I second claudialyman on the comfy tracksuit, or at least loose-fitting trousers - you'll probably end up climbing over sleeping kids to get to the loo, and curling up in strange positions to make yourself into a pillow for the DCs. Flights always make me bloated - I'm not sure if it's the airline food or the change of pressure - so a loose or elasticated waist feels better than jeans. Layers of t-shirts/long-sleeved tops are good, as cabins always seem to be too hot or too cold. Non-synthetic pashmina or something similar can actually be quite nice to use as your own personal blanket, as the airline ones always seem to be horribly static-prone polyester.
Top tip: make sure your inflight bag has a change of clothes for yourself as well as the DCs. If the DCs get airsick or spill drinks, you can be sure it won't just be over themselves. DD, then aged 5 months, once threw up her feed all over me two hours into a 12 hour flight. And when I'd changed into the spare clothes I'd brought, she did it again... I wasn't smelling nice by the time we landed.
loose cotton or linen trousers,longsleeve t-shirt, proper pashmina, silk or cashmere wrap (not synthetic) and thick,but loose fitting, socks are my usual long haul garb earplugs and eye mask (not the airline ones - buy the best you can from from boots) (with DC's or not) plus loads of moisturiser before and after sleep! I really don't care what I look or smell like at arrival - and I really don't think other people do either! - just so long as I can get to a shower within a couple of hours!
When I was travelling with DC when they were little I always carried an extra t shirt for me and at least 1 each for them!

Recently a stranger asked what his obligation to community would be if he decided to become a member. I solicited the crowd for what they thought membership meant, and the last few days I've been sharing their responses. Last comment made when asked what it means to be a member of NSC:
"Tell him that if he's a member, he will know to always look around each week to see what's been rearranged or painted around this place."
Our community does not think it unusual that someone might come in over the course of a week and tear up old carpet and put down new. No one is surprised to find amazing new art on the chalk wall. Or a new coffee bar. Or freshly painted bathrooms. Our community has a lot of confidence in the power of the group to seek to add to the experience of being part of this tribe.
Once you get past all the preconceived notions about what church should or should not be, what can actually happen in a community that just plain loves one another is a lot of spontaneous outbursts of loving acts of kindness.
It happened just this morning as a matter of fact. I headed through the front door and noticed the yellow plastic warning sign "caution" as I entered. Then I saw equipment that looked foreign to us and I thought, "Oh no, what broke?" This is how I think – what went wrong?
But what my community is teaching me is about all the things that can actually go right!! It turns out that one of our members had shown up to clean the carpet. It was dirty, he knew how to clean it – he shows up and does it. This is so surprising and delightful – this constant influx of goodwill. I wish every church could experience this way of living.
Thank you community for knowing better than I what it means to be a small part of something special. I have lots to learn, but really good teachers!!

In this article, I will talk about one of the most basic exercise, the pull-up. Compared to the push-up, while you perform this exercise you pull all of your body-weight. And that is why pull ups are harder than the push-up.
After reading this guide you will be able to do a proper pull-up. Just kidding, it all depends on your skill level.
The working muscles
The main working muscles are the Lats(Latissimus dorsi) and biceps(it depends from the grip that you have on the bar). But compared to the push up it is a more complex exercise because you workout with all of your body-weight.
Here is how to perform proper pull-up right:
- Grip the bar with shoulder width apart(if you feel stronger at closer or wider grip use it).
- Let loose on the bar(passive hang). If the bar is too low for you, cross your legs behind you.
- Pull up towards the bar and get as high as you can. Exhale at the top.
- Lower your body and inhale while lowering.
- Keep your body straight throughout the exercise.
Common mistakes:
- Doing half reps – always perform full reps, you have more benefits performing full reps. There are also benefits of doing half reps, but you have both of the benefits of doing them the right way. Full reps mean – extend the elbows fully and get as high as you can.
- Usually, people don't breath while they train – if you breath during the exercise you may do 1-2 reps more.
- Too much or too little rest between sets – Rest for one or two minutes between sets or when you feel fresh again.
What's next after pull ups?! It is too easy.
I was thinking the same a year ago. It was very easy to do pull ups. I started doing 15+ reps(once I did 20 reps and I thought, no no that is not my goal). I did a research about different bodyweight exercises and I started doing Tucked front lever rows(or something similar to that) behind the back rows on a lower bar and many more. Right now I am working on full advance tucked front lever rows(full range of motion). You can try them out on your next workout.
But I can not do a single proper pull-up, what should I do?
That is ok(I've had the same problem). It is ok if you can not perform a single rep, you have to start from somewhere right 🙂 . You can start with two basic exercises:
- Bodyweight rows
- Negative pull ups
If you can do 3-5 reps of bodyweight rows, you should start doing pull up negatives. If you can not do a BW row do a negative instead. Negative means the negative part of an exercise, for an example the lowering part of the pull-up or the lowering part of a push-up. So figure what you can do and start from there.
Bodyweight rows
This was one of my favorite exercises, now I perform it to warm up before pulling exercises(like a front lever, muscle up and pull ups). And it is very easy to perform, first find a low bar or parallel bar:
- Put your hands shoulder-width apart on the bar.
- Get your feet in front of you(comfortably).
- Get to a position, just like in the picture.
- Extend your elbows, inhale while you are lowering your body.
- Pull towards the bar, with your elbows close to the body(keep them neutral). And exhale at the top.
Negative Pull-up
This is the next progression exercise, the negative pull up. It is simple as it looks. You can get on top of the bar by jumping up or on a lower bar. This is the one of the best exercises that will help you build up the strength to pull up. And here is how to do it:
- Get on top of the bar(by jumping up or start with a lower bar).
- Start lowering your body as slow as you can and exhale at the bottom.(Inhale before you lower your body).
- Do this exercise until you can perform a single pull up.
Warm up.
Remember to warm your body before you workout.Your body performs better that way. Learn more here.

And … we begin by finding all musicians, no more than 5 or 6 after my memories, arranged in an arc each occupied with his typical Chinese instrument and no conductor. Then they move to a hidden end scene where they remained until the end of the show.
Representation itself actually degrades into several tables, independent of each other, probably to allow tourists come here to see a condensed version of a sample large enough that the Peking Opera offers.
Singing a goddess of the mountain, fighting a duel and jokes pass between an innkeeper other before our eyes. Our ears rather difficult to bear elk voice of the goddess of the mountain, whose movements we have yet colorful ribbons happy, and we will époustouflées by fighting acrobatic executed in time with the music and jerky special Peking Opera.
What artists sing … we did not understand anything …
Of course the songs were in Chinese, but more importantly, the sounds were modulated as they can be in our Western operas, making it impossible to distinguish phonemes possible that I could recognize.
While we had the screens for subtitles. But we have just used, perhaps simply because the visual speak for itself. While many subtleties have escaped us, but we enjoyed representation in our own way …
Thus, if only by intellectual curiosity or interest in Chinese culture, I think it's worth seeing at least once (if you can of course) Peking Opera. After, like everything that is suggestive of more in art, love it or do not.
I was not a fan of music, but I applauded the acrobatic and theatrical performance.
