Silicon Alley Insider's Henry Blodget is reported a rumor that Jerry Yang, CEO of Yahoo!, may resign today -- and soon afterward reporting that Yahoo "emphatically denied" the rumor.
EARLIER: A hedge fund source says a rumor is going around that Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Jerry Yang plans to resign. This wouldn't surprise us, especially after a disastrous meeting with major shareholder Gordy Crawford earlier this week. We also think this would be a smart move for Jerry and the company.
As we've said, we think Jerry should step back into Chairman/Founder/Board role and hire an experienced operator to pound Yahoo into shape. And far better to do this voluntarily and smoothly than to get decapitated at the shareholder meeting.
It seemed odd to think that he'd resign in the midst of a heated battle with Carl Icahn -- which seems to have gotten a bit personal lately, and bigger, with Microsoft backing Icahn -- but as Blodget suggests, such a move could have been characterized as strategic. More than a few people (not counting Icahn) publicly think it's time for Jerry Yang to quit at least the battle with Microsoft and Icahn.

Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil (Hardcover)
Usually Available in 1-5 Days
Staff Reviews
Apparently we have been missing some great YA novels if Ms. Marchetta's first adult novel is any indication of her ability to tell a tale. This novel is part crime story, part immigration tale, part indictment of prejudice against Muslims, part family saga, part love story, and totally gripping. Whatever you want to call it, it is worth reading - full of empathy for each and every complicated character. The tale revolves around a suspended cop's quest to find the truth behind a devastating bombing involving his daughter. I particularly loved the fact that half-way through I was certain the book had to end, yet another twist in the plot allowed me to keep reading for another hour or two. Pick this up for "a novel of great scope, of past and present, and above all the Marchetta trademark of a fierce and loving heart" as Markus Zusak of The Book Thief fame blurbs on its back cover.— From Lisa's Picks
"More than a crime story; it's jam-packed with family drama and heartbreak. Highly recommended for suspense and mystery fans." --Library Journal
In the wake of a devastating bombing, a father risks everything to find out who was responsible. When Bish Ortley, a recently suspended cop, receives word that a bus carrying his daughter has been bombed, he rushes to be by her side. A suspect has already been named--a 17-year-old girl who has since disappeared from the scene. The press has now revealed that she is the youngest member of one of London's most notorious families. Years earlier, they were implicated in an attack that left dozens dead. Has the girl decided to follow in their footsteps? To find her, Bish must earn the trust of her friends and family, including her infamous mother, now serving a life sentence in prison. But even as he delves into the deadly bus attack that claimed five lives, the ghosts of older crimes become impossible to ignore. A gripping fusion of literary suspense and family drama, TELL THE TRUTH, SHAME THE DEVIL is a fast-paced puzzle of a novel that will keep readers feverishly turning pages.

text: The Cobbler's Kids November 13, 2015 Make sure you are taking advantage of the services you offer. The cobbler's kids have no shoes, there are only wooden spoons at the blacksmith's house, the lady who sells fans only fans herself with her hands — these are just three of many related proverbs. It seems every culture has a proverb (or two) that leads back to the idea that many of us neglect at home what we work on all day long. I was reminded of this three times in the past week. The first was when I was visiting a good friend and saw blue tape over his ice dispenser. I laughed and commented because he owns an appliance repair business and is very good at his work. His wife chimed in that she has to start the washing machine with a pencil because the start button is broken, and it has been for a while. The second reminder occurred when my financial advisor was asking me how much income I'll need on a monthly basis when I retire and what kind of nest egg I'll have to have to generate it. When I turned the tables and asked him the same question, he did not have the answers. Last — and most embarrassing — I was giving a seminar on sales cycles, and while I was discussing the importance of understanding your company's sales cycle and how profitability could be dramatically increased by increasing the number of successful sales or reducing the length of the cycle, I realized that I had never really analyzed my own company's sales cycle. I left feeling fortunate that no one had turned the tables on me, as I had done with my financial advisor, and determined to rectify what I now saw as a glaring problem. Now, all of these examples (except the icemaker, I really needed ice!) can be explained away by a lack of desire to do at home what one does all day long, or perhaps by some sort of deep-seated rebellion. And, hopefully, they can't be explained by the fact that the cobbler doesn't really value shoes, the blacksmith can give or take quality cutlery, and the marketing guy doesn't truly place value on such things as a sales cycle and its impact on the bottom line. I can't speak for the cobbler, the appliance repairman or the financial advisor, but in my case, I had simply never thought about applying the concept of a sales cycle to myself. When I think of sales cycles in general, my mind instantly turns to my clients and where, in their sales cycles, my company might be able to help. In the context of giving a seminar, like the one this week, I am focused 100 percent on the client(s) and their needs and not on how the ideas relate to my own company. It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day responsibilities of running a company: making sure clients and staff are happy, obligations are being met and futures are being planned, etc. In the end, it is perhaps not that surprising that one's own house is easily overlooked. However, while that makes it understandable, it doesn't make it right or even excusable. So, I offer a piece of advice to those taking the time to read this column, especially those in a service business. Make sure that you are taking advantage of the services you offer. As a marketing guy, I can tell you there is no better advertisement for a cobbler than well-shoed children, for a financial planner than a well-designed personal financial plan, and for a company that stresses the value of marketing plans and has an owner who wrote a book on the subject than to actually have a marketing plan. For those who have already taken advantage of their own services, congratulations. For those who haven't, join me as I spend a few hours analyzing my own company's sales cycle and place a quick call to my friend to see if the ice dispenser is working yet.

Mr. Mac Manu who is currently the Honorary Chairman of the Democratic Union of Africa (DUA), last month led DUA, an affiliate of the International Democratic Union (IDU) to the Kenyan elections but was denied entry into that country upon arrival at the Nairobi Airport.
A statement signed by Secretary General of DUA, Charles Owiredu said: Mr. Peter Mac Manu will observe some of the rallies and also have firsthand experience on how the Germans' conduct their political rallies in recent times."
"Further, Mr. Mac Manu would have the opportunity to tour some polling stations across some of the 299 voting districts to observe voting conduct in Munich voting district.
"It is our hope that lessons learnt from the observation will help shape and increase our understanding of campaigning, electoral processes and benefit Ghana's electoral reforms," the statement added.

Die Casting Tools Of China
Total Articles: 63
Die Casting Tool, which is a popular thing in china, is made from blended alloy in 2 sections, the fixed die half and the ejectors die half, to allow removal of casting. Modern dies in china possess moveable sides, cores or even other sections to create gaps, threads along with other desired designs in the casting. Sprue gaps in the fixed die half permits molten metal to enter and fill the actual cavity. The actual ejector half generally contains the passageways and entrances that route molten metal towards the cavity. Casting tool include locking hooks to secure both halves, ejector hooks to help take away the cast component, and spaces for coolant as well as lubrication.
Once the die casting tool machine shuts, both die halves are secured and held with each other through the machine's hydraulic stress. The area in which the ejector and fixed halves meet and locked is called the actual "die parting line." The entire projected surface of the part being casted, calculated at the die parting line, and also the pressure needed of the device to inject metallic substance into the die cavity governs the clamping force from the device.
Very hot Chamber Devices
Hot chamber provided machines are utilized primarily for zinc, copper mineral, magnesium, lead and other lower melting point metals that do not really readily attack as well as erode metal cooking pots, cylinders and plungers. The actual injection mechanism of the hot slot provided machine is engrossed in the melted metal bath of a metal keeping furnace. The actual furnace is attached with the device with a metal system known as gooseneck. As the injection cylinder plunger goes down, a port in the injection cylinder starts, allowing melted metal to fill up the cylinder. Since the plunger goes down it seals the port and forces molten metal through the gooseneck as well as nozzle into the die framework. Following, the metal solidified within the hole, plunger is removed, the die opens and the casting is thrown.
Cold Chamber Devices
Cold chamber machines are used for metals such as light weight aluminum and other metals with high melting points. The actual molten metal is poured right into a "cold chamber" or even cylindrical pipe, manually with a hands ladle or through automatic ladle. The hydraulically controlled plunger seals the cold chamber and forces metals into the secured die at higher pressure.
Higher Integrity Die casting Techniques
There are many variants of casting tool on the fundamental process which you can use to create castings for to specific programs. Such as: Press casting - A technique through which molten blend is cast without having turbulence and gas entrapment at high pressure to produce top quality, thick elements and Semi-solid molding - A process where semi-solid metal billets are casted to supply thick castings with lower porosity.

The ECCC recently decided to ban aero equipment for non-A riders this season. A professional fitting reveals that my TT bike should be about one size smaller. The Fuji Aloha CF2 frame has great road geometry, and poor TT geometry. Hm. This sounds like a death sentence for a bicycle! Or, an opportunity!
You see, in my stash of parts that I have lying around, I have handlebars, bar tape, aero wheels, an extra stem, a spare cassette, a spare chain, and an extra set of pedals. All I needed was a new crankset (FSA SL-K, $200) and some new shifters (Shimano Dura-Ace ST-7801, $200) to make myself a superb race bike!
Back when Ivan Dominguez raced Fuji bikes, he chose to ride a converted Aloha frame. Why? Well, it's stiffer than any other Fuji frame! It's also way more aero. Fuji realized this, and both replaced the Aloha CF series with the DS-1 TT bike, and used the same frame in their SST bike!
So, for not all that much (especially considering the resale value of all of the components I removed from the bike), I was able to build an absolutely top-flight race bike, weighing in at under 17 lbs with fairly ordinary components in a 56cm size.
Specifically, the bike has: Ritchey WCS aluminum bars, Dura-Ace ST-7801 shifters, a Thomson stem, a Specialized Toupe Gel saddle, stainless steel Speedplay Zero pedals, Zipp 404 clincher wheels, FSA SL-K cranks, a Dura-Ace rear derailleur, and Cane Creek SCR-5 brakes.
I'm looking forward to doing some serious damage in the ECCC ranks with this machine.

I have to say that the worst part of this whole process (besides the fact that I am subjecting you all to Sartre) is the cutting out.
I spent most of today cutting out blocks, enough to last me for the whole week ahead. My back and shoulders are stiff from rotary cutting and my feet are sore from standing up for so long. Not to mention the heat. It was only 29C today, but the humidity was about 85%, which made it very sticky and uncomfortable.
I do enjoy choosing which colours to put with which other colours though, and I am quite enjoying the process of redrafting the blocks to make them smaller, and figuring out what shapes I need to cut out from which fabric.
The upshot of all this though is that I finished no blocks today. In terms of pictures, you are going to have to make do with this picture of my pile of blocks cut up and sitting in their individual plastic bags.
Being and Nothingness is going well. It is starting to make more sense, but that could just be that I am getting used to the style of it. Most of the bit I was reading today was dismissing the ideas of Husserl, and trying to demonstrate that while the being of consciousness has been established, the being of objects outside of consciousness still needs grounding in something. Sartre tries to do this using the being of consciousness as the starting point. The argument so far seems to be that if consciousness is by nature consciousness of something that is outside consciousness, then there has to be something outside consciousness. I am hoping that he goes into this in a bit more depth in the pages to come, as I am not very convinced so far.
The one bit that did stand out to me was Sartre's conviction that consciousness could not be purely physical. I don't know how well this claim would stand up to modern brain science.

So what do we do about this? How do we manage to make ourselves felt with that one important post long enough to sustain a career of them? From my perspective I would say that you don't because you simply can't. There is competition at every turn and judgment follows, pro and con. We become so busy with the judgment that we don't realize that we are more involved in the race than we were are about our role in the big picture. My suggestion is simple and outlined below. It might make a difference in how well you accomplish what you set out to with that tweet. After all, you designed it so that your intention can be felt and afford you the awareness of making real connections, rather than streams of strangers who actually skip over your tweets and posts.
When composing your tweet, be clear and concise and use hashtags that that will directly reflect your message. Make your own up to create a larger following.
Don't just post tweets to people you don't know unless they can directly use your information; that includes celebrities.
Know your audience and familiarize yourself with your followers and friends in social media. Communicate with them in personal ways to indicate that you have a real connection and not just one that you are using to tweet to numbers.
Remember there are real people receiving and posting messages. Take the time to get to know them and you will be making friends in your business and personal life. These are the people you can actually bond with that can make a difference to your days and the time you take to be on social media sites.
I have one "don't" on my list. Don't spam by retweeting everything and anything. If it does not serve a positive purpose, then think twice about posting because you always want to leave your followers with positive energy so that you always create more in life.
"Phone Stacking" is a game that makes everyone in the dinner party accountable to unplugging during their meal. Each participant puts his or her cell phone in the middle of the table, and whoever checks the device before the bill arrives gets stuck with the bill.
New York Times contributor Caroline Tell discussed the game during a HuffPost Live segment on Tuesday, telling host Caitlyn Becker that "whoever has to sneak a peak, has to pick up the tab."

Reader's Digest recently conducted a "Lost Wallet" Test to find which cities around the world had the highest return rates. Reporters dropped 12 wallets in 16 different cities, each containing a card with a name and phone number, a family photo and $50. The city of Helsinki in Finland was named the most honest city, with 11 of the 12 lost wallets returned.
New York City tied with Budapest, Hungary, as the next most honest city, with eight of the 12 dropped wallets being turned in. Libson, Portugal, was the least honest city, with only one wallet returned to its owner by a tourist.

I facilitate a women's group, and our topic for this month is "manifesting," which is something we do everyday of our lives.
We wake up, get out of bed, move into our day, and flow into it as it unfolds. But does it move us along, or do we create our days as we wish? Our lives are created by us, which means that we are writing our story, and acting in our movie. We are the star, the author, the director and the producer of our great life epic, and how our movie will play out is completely up to us. Yes, there are things that occur in our "life movie" that seem out of our control — a storm happens, someone dear to our heart dies, a child leaves the nest, but the main direction our life is taking is decided by us, meaning we are the ones that determine where it is we want to go, and if there's somewhere we are intent to get to, we are the ones to get us there. We are in the driver's seat, and just like you wouldn't wait around for someone else to take you where you want to go, you make that happen by getting into your car and driving there. If we had to depend on someone else to take us to our destinations, we wouldn't be happy with that, and who knows if we'd even get to where we want to go, since that would be in someone else's control, not ours.
Each day, we have the opportunity to create what we want, and if we perceive that there is something stopping us from doing that, we relinquish our ability to manifest what we desire. The obstacles that seem to be in our way might feel very real for us when things happen that can throw us off guard or even broadside us. Yes, you can lose a job, a lover or spouse can break your heart, your health gets shaken, but what you choose to do with whatever happens to you, good or bad, is still completely up to you. If something occurs that feels like it's out of your control, and throws you off your center or makes you feel vulnerable or scared, what you need to do after you've mourned or healed from your pain or heartbreak is to get back up, and see yourself as the star of your life movie that you are.
Think of Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in the movie Sunset Boulevard. Her life was falling apart, and yet somehow she managed to be completely on when she said, "I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille."
Clearly that's not going to be your movie, but hopefully you get the idea, that your life movie can play itself out the way you want it to. Norma Desmond was a "victim" in her movie, unfortunately, and like William Holden says in the narration as she walks down her grand "princess palace" staircase for her close-up, "Life, which can be strangely merciful, had taken pity on Norma Desmond. The dream she had clung to so desperately had enfolded her." Yes, her dream had "enfolded" her as opposed to she unfolding her dream. If we look at that as a metaphor that we are the ones that make our dreams happen, and don't wait for them to happen "to us," we can see that it is up to us to create the life we want and believe is possible.
It's your life movie, no one else's. Make it what you want it to be. Dream big. Blockbuster? Lines around the block? Sold out? "Why reach for the stars when you can have the moon."

"Coming from a family of dysfunction, suicide — seven suicides, that's a pretty powerful story," Oprah says in the above clip from "Super Soul Sunday" on OWN. "And you've said that your family is your karma. What did you mean by that?"
"Well, I really think the heritage of being a Hemingway, it's a big name," Hemingway says. "It carries a lot of weight. And I think with that comes tremendous creativity, love, fame, whatever — but also with that comes the opposite. Because I think with darkness there is light. And so that darkness is that mental illness, that mental instability, that insecurity."
"Yes," Oprah says. "So in spite of, or maybe because of your family's history with suicide and addiction and mental illness, you decided — made a decision — which I think is the number one spiritual choice that people make. It's a decision, right?"
"Make a choice," Williams adds.
"Make a choice to find a better way," Oprah says.
"Right," Hemingway nods.
"Super Soul Sunday" airs Sundays at 11 a.m. ET on OWN. Hemingway's autobiographical documentary, "Running From Crazy" will air on OWN in early 2014.
I offered that the happiest people I know — and I included myself in this group — are the ones who express gratitude on a regular basis. I happen to start my day with gratitude, but it's easy for me because I wake up to my two joyous dogs, Lucy and Tallulah, on either side of me. It's hard to not be grateful when you wake up to pure unconditional playful love. They trigger the start of my gratitude list and then I move on from there. Maybe this is why dog owners tend to be happier. Dogs can't help but trigger gratitude with their unconditional love and licks.
The top of my gratitude list stays the same each day, but the end of the list always surprises me. Sometimes I am grateful for the struggles, though not often. I'm working on that one. I'd like to be equally grateful for all of it one day.
When I meditate I also start with a gratitude list to center myself. It pulls me into the present. My list feels like a representation of who I am and where I am in that moment. It is a re-PRESENT-ation, pulling me to be fully in the now.
We are all our own little science labs. I say whatever works for you, do it. Gratitude pretty much never fails to work for me in raising my happiness quotient. It's just fun that this video lets us know it's scientifically proven and allows us to watch some other loving lab rats become more happy as they express their gratitude.
In the early- to mid-2000s, I did a lot of Landmark Education courses and I think what got me hooked on this work was the exercise in the very first course in their curriculum, the Landmark Forum, which requires you to pick up a phone and, among other things yet most important to me, express gratitude to someone you care about. I am so happy I was able to do this with both of my parents, for instance, in a way I never had before. These exercises catapulted my happiness quotient to a new level. But, most important they gave me what I'm sure will be a lifelong appreciation for expressing gratitude and its feel-good effects.
The best part of expressing gratitude like that shown in this video is the endless chain of positive events that you know were generated by these phone calls. Talk about paying it forward! You don't even have to wonder about all the juicy goodness that will come in someone's day after having been fully acknowledged. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Questioning gravity is crazy. With videos like this, hopefully questioning gratitude will soon be equally insane.
It's a form of denial. If I'm doing something purposely or unconsciously to get attention, I'm creating drama.
If I meet someone who rescues me from my drama, they will sooner or later go from rescuer to perpetrator. If I hand them all of my problems, allowing them to rescue me and still continue to treat my life in the same way… drama will follow. Instead of playing alone in the sandbox, we've now invited another person to play along with us. That is until we take ourselves in hand and grow up! We decide dressing up and playing victim, persecutor and rescuer is just not fun anymore!
Most relationships that are worthy of a soap opera or a dramatic miniseries have the individuals playing a role unconsciously, as they traipse around that drama triangle.
If I get involved with someone through a mutual case of loneliness, the relationship will eventually end in mutual loneliness.
Truly, after we're done saving each other from being alone… what truth will we share?
We will create drama as the bond to keep us together.
When we wrap ourselves in a big bow, so we can pretend to be the perfect gift for our mate, we will eventually once again… create drama. Not being real, whether we're normally the center of attention, or the quiet one is not a way to forge a true bond, eventually the real us will come right out!!
Drama comes along, because just as quick as one mask comes off, another one is created to sustain the relationship and yet, it won't stop the drama.
Whatever is inauthentic in us that we bring into a relationship will come out as drama at some point. When we pay no awareness to our truth and live in a fantasy, then drama is a fundamental basis of connection in the relationship.
Once the honeymoon phase is over, we can expect drama if we weren't paying attention to how we felt around this person. Meaning, if our focus was on a few good qualities that we so desperately wanted this person to fit, but we missed the flicker of anxiety every time he was rude to the waiter, then we can be assured drama will be a top priority.
Drama comes up in all sorts of way, when we practice no self-awareness and expect the other person to be our awareness. We want them to make us happy, and do all the heavy lifting associated with creating trust. This dooms the relationship to failure, because no one can do this for us. If we try to give responsibility of our emotional state to someone else, we can expect to be disappointed. It's a perfect opportunity for more drama!
Insecurities that remain unchecked, create drama.
If we meet someone and we're lonely, unhappy, fearful or in some insecure state, which indicates we're not connected to ourselves… we can expect the same to be mirrored back to us by our partner in the future. The individual we draw into our drama usually shares the same unconscious way of operating in relationships.
Even so, drama is never about the other person. It's about what we believe we're supposed to receive and didn't, whether it is a gesture, a word, an object or action. We feel let down and therefore entitled to create a hailstorm.
We create drama to keep everyone engaged in the soap opera. We do it out of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of loss, or even fear of being found out! We'd rather hide behind the curtain than be who we really are when we're creating dramatic distractions.
We do it so we have to be rescued from ourselves. We do it maintain a distance, to survive, because we're completely disconnected from loving ourselves. Those who join us on this stage love the opportunity to also dismiss their problems and jump right into helping us create drama. This way we both stay completely unaware of what is really going on for each of us as individuals. It's an awesome match!
How do we stop the drama?
It starts with getting real. If we take a journey inside, we can find out what the impetus is for us to be the drama starter. We can understand why we need the attention and heightened sense of care we desperately cannot give to ourselves.
When we know why we feel needy, we'll know why we create all the distractions, arguments and crazy making. We'll see how we've been seeking outside of us, what we think we can't fulfill within us.
If we really want to stop the drama pattern and get off the triangle, we should take some time to be alone and really, deal with our feelings and the anxiety they provoke. Shining the light of awareness inside of our emotions can bring us far more peace than being engaged in drama. Being rescued from our self-made dramas, doesn't allow us to grow. It keeps us stuck in our childhood patterns, where we needed attention and drama is how we got it!

Another Sleepless Night in LA
Hunny watched me pack last night. She gets really depressed when she sees luggage...no matter how small the bag is. She knows I'm going away. I did tell her she was coming with me to the airport but that she'd be staying with her Auntie Cheryl, Opie and the cats.
Usually the words, you're coming with me are enough to make her skip and jump and run around the room with joy. But I could tell she completely understood that she'd be coming with me part of the way, but not all the way to Texas.
I stopped packing every few minutes to get her to play or give her a massage or look into her eyes and remind her that I'm always with her. She's smart and sensitive. Sometimes it's to her/our disadvantage. She gets so sad, she won't look at me or kiss me goodbye. It doesn't matter if I'm leaving for five minutes or five days. To her the bottom line is, I'm leaving. I'm not looking forward to that moment at the airport. It breaks my heart.
She'll get over it. And so will I. She lo-o-oves staying with her Auntie Cheryl. The yard, the doggie door, the treats, the other animals, the walks by the beach, the love. Come on, it's like sleep-over camp for our pets. The moment she gets her mouth on the big juicy bone waiting for her, she'll forget all about me! I, on the other hand, will miss her terribly...until I get my mouth on some Coca-Cola Cake. We're not all that different really.

Just downloaded Immortal Murders and am in the process of printing the materials. I found that many of the confidential files are mis-scaled... that is, they print very tiny and unreadable. Specifically, alphabetically Arthur through Prince Allendro all are tiny; Anubis and Prof Jackson through The Inquisitor all print full page as expected.
I can use the "scale to fill page" option while printing the tiny ones, but the results look real blurry and unattractive.
Is there any way to get correctly scaled versions of these files?

You know, after all this time, I have no idea if Sailor reads this blog? I'm pretty sure he doesn't. I know I wouldn't want to know the inner workings of my twisted mind anymore than was necessary. This blog is best read by strangers.
But Sailor is away on another high-seas adventure. I'll see him for a few weeks in March and then, not again until July. Such is life of a college student and her mate.
And Valentines Day is this week, I'm feeling all soft and mushy. So I am dedicating this next week of poetry posts to the man I love.
I am deeply, deeply, sorry for this y'all…
Harlem Night Song
Langston Hughes
Come, Let us roam the night together
I love you.
The Harlem roof-tops
Moon is shining.
Night sky is blue.
Stars are great drops
Of golden dew.
Down the street
A band is playing
I love you.
Let us roam the night together

Haha, I haven't posted in two weeks.
Motorola Mediacenter – Press Releases: Ok, the MPx-220 has been officially announced, again.
Department of Licensing – Personalized Plate Query: Just in case someone wants to check if a WA personalized plate is available.
Ok, really weird dream. Here are some of the highlights:
- Set in a time where USA and the Soviet Union are at a full-on war.
- The first part of the dream sees me running across an American battlefield, trying to avoid bullets, mines, bombs, missiles and just about every other type of munition.
- I saw a very large passenger jet, presumably American, get hit by a missle and then crash into the sea. This jet was filled with Olympic athletes.
- At this point, the dream becomes more of a movie and I am delegated to observer status.
- A rag-tag group of Americans decide that the only way to stop the Soviet Union is to infiltrate their country and kill their leader. The group of Americans consist of a female Olympic judge, a 12-year-old girl and an older guy that looks like James Earl Jones.
- This group has to train to be able to infiltrate the country. Instead of learning military techniques, they learn how to train water snakes.
- I don't remember how, but all of a sudden the entire group is in the heart of the Soviet Union. The unnamed leader is hiding out in a rural town in a boarding house.
- The little girl sneaks upstairs, undetected, to find the leader sleeping amongst 15 other people from the town. The girl places a rag of some sort of chemical over the leaders mouth, knocking him out. Instead of just killing him, the girl saws off his head with a dull machete and puts it into a burlap bag. No one has yet noticed anything has happened. She sneaks downstairs and runs outside.
- Just as she joins the rest of her group hiding behind a bush outside, there is a sound much like the sharpening of a machete. From an open window upstairs, the now-dead body of the leader with a ghostly head starts to appear in the window. At first, it's safe to assume he is about to brandish a machete when instead he pulls out a .50 cal machine gun (the type that is normally truck mounted). Before he can fire, the James Earl Jones character grabs a gun from the ground and sprays the leader with bullets.
- The end.
Quick post again.
I went to a RallyCross on Sunday (pictures). It was fairly interesting, but I'm not subjecting my only car to that treatment. Today I got my new Microsoft Prime card (discount card for restaurants, hotels, etc). The old design was fairly metrosexual (polka dots and all) but the new one takes the cake!
Just in case I decide to care about this crap later, my car is #761 out of 1978 built and was built on 07Jan2004.
I've removed the links to my Gallery as I haven't had time to repopulate it since it was destroyed. I have added a new album though!
Jeff complained that I used a Microsoft building as my background and not Mt. Rainier. I knew that this parking garage would be in full sunlight and completely open. I can take pictures just about wherever I want and he's a negative fuck anyway!
Now that I have the SVT Focus, I've put the Camaro up for sale. I have so far only posted it in the Microsoft classifieds but anyone in the Puget Sound area can take a look at these. I put the car up two weeks ago and I got a phone call last Wednesday:
Her: I'm calling about the Camaro.
Me: Ok, it's still available.
Her: Can I come see it?
Me: Sure, when works for you.
Her: How about this weekend?
Me: Ok, when?
Her: Oh, I don't know, lunchtime?
At this point, I got a little bit frustrated. I dont want to hear "lunchtime", I want a specific time and date. Anyway, I finally got her to decide on Saturday at noon. She calls me Friday morning (a call I missed since I was in the parking garage) and says that she can't do it on Saturday and that Sunday at 5 PM would work better. Ok, that is fine. I get a voicemail Sunday at roughly 4 PM to say she can't make it at 5 PM and would Monday work. I call her back, no answer, so I left a voicemail saying that Monday would be fine if she would please tell me a specific time. She emails me this morning to say that either 6 or 7 PM would work. I told her to give me a specific time and if she was going to change that time to tell me by 2 PM. She writes back, saying 7 PM would be fine. Here we are, 5:30 PM and she calls:
Her: Hi Mike, I just wanted to see if we could meet earlier.
Me: Well, we decided on 7 PM.
Her: I know, but I was wondering if we could meet at 6 or 6:30 PM.
Me: I already said that I would need to know by 2 PM if you were going to change the time.
Her: I know, I was just wondering if you could get off work early.
Me: No, but 7 PM works for me.
Her: Ok.
Me: (Cutting her off) Bye. ::CLICK::
Holy cow. I bet you $100 that she is going to show up 15 minutes late and then not know how to drive a manual transmission. Just wait.
UPDATE: She can't drive a manual! But, this is a car for her (I think) younger brother so I will give her a little slack.
Haha, I love this. Posting to blogger on my laptop that is connected to my Smartphone through Bluetooth while the Smartphone has internet access through GPRS. Isn't technology wonderful?
Remeber how I said I almost bought an Evo? Looks like it was a good cal! All the bad news about Mitsu has caused their sales to plummet almost FIFTY PERCENT this month and 27% for the year. Yikes. Adios, muchachos.

This article is aimed at provoking a bit of thought in the readers mind as to what we can do, individually, but also in groups, teams and commercial flight departments, to leave a "safety footprint" for ourselves and others. By recalling a few common Human Factor Errors and thinking about them, we may spend a few minutes out of our busy lives to evaluate our own status and level of awareness. Maybe you can use some or all of it for your own flying. Refreshing on a few key items may help. If you think about them, you are already doing more than average and that is a good thing. As a guiding document you may wish to refer to the Dirty Dozen which is a listing of the 12 most common causes of human error, and subsequent failure developed by Mr. Gordon Dupont. While the basis of his initial effort was geared more towards the AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) his concepts and contributions to the industry have been widely accepted and recommended by the FAA, Transport Canada as well as EASA and apply equally to pilots and AMT's.
1. Complacency:
"I have done this 1,000 times!"… As we gain experience in whatever we do, we tend to become more comfortable and relaxed in terms of our own standards. Just like a motorcycle driver is not realizing that he is just about to embark on a passing maneuver that is bound to fail, we may misjudge some minor detail that has tremendous impact on the outcome of our flight. We humans tend to categorize our reactions by putting certain triggers and responses and the experienced success or failure of the response into drawers within our brain. When we are triggered to make a decision, our brain automatically and very quickly determines which drawer to open. Experience can compensate for many shortfalls. The more we do something, the better we get at it, however, the better we get at something, the more prune we become, to making a quick mistake by simply ignoring the fact that not all situations are equal and not all reactions, solutions or measures apply exactly as we desire them to. Some say, it takes a certain amount of paranoia to effectively overcome complacency. Another, logical way to fight the effects of complacency is to keep moving the information that has been stored by continuing our education and thinking about our reactions ahead of an event. Just because something has worked well the last time does not mean that the same measure will yield the desired result this time. By staying open-minded and giving each situation or event the space and attention it demands we take a step towards avoiding complacency.
2. Lack of Knowledge:
"I did not know that this TFR was active"… Lack of knowledge is probably one of the most complex and dense areas of human error. We can have a lack of knowledge in regards to new regulations, technical details, new equipment installed in our aircraft, performance details, a new AD or service bulletin, airspace & procedure changes and much more. A lack of knowledge failure could probably best be described as having a large element of surprise hidden within. We find out after making an error that something in our system was not right. Every time we are asked a question we access stored information that could be outdated and obsolete or brand new. In order to create knowledge we need to reach for information. For many the simple way to reach for information is by asking questions. For others, the best way to gain knowledge is to read and research. Both methods come with potential downsides. The person we ask needs to have a solid understanding of how wrong information may affect us, down the road. If the information we have learned is incorrect we are just as well off as before. The gained knowledge is worthless. In turn if we read the integrity of the information must be assured. We could be reading the wrong document or overlook an annotation that specifies the area of applicability of the information. Only by asking and reading in a systematic way can we assure that what we are finding for answers is in fact substantiated. Using common sense can help in finding out if disbursed information is correct. Challenging an answer, or document, is sometimes needed to succeed.
3. Lack of Teamwork:
"I thought we are climbing to 2500…?" While this point may have only limited space in the single pilot environment we may, at any time ask a fellow pilot on his opinion or procedure to accomplish a certain task. When we look at multi crew cockpits, teamwork suddenly becomes much more important. In the single pilot environment we may consider the fuel truck driver, filling our fuel tanks, as a team member. On a seaplane base, the person who pushes you off the dock is an important part of your team. Whoever it is, who is engaged in the operation or movement of your aircraft or takes any active part in its movement must be part of a team. If a team is to be efficient and effective there must be common ground and a defined goal. Briefing and explaining what you wish to happen to your partner will leave space for questions and clarification before the action starts.
4. Distraction:
"Did I drain the fuel on the left wing or not?" …It is normal to lose track! We all do it, either in the office or on the phone. In many cases we find ourselves returning to a task after a short or long distraction and wonder where we left it off. For the passengers on a plane, occupying an aircraft who's AMT was distracted during a repair or inspection, the one minute phone call or the 20 second small talk could turn deadly. For us as pilots, a distraction can have equal results, however we are subject to distractions all the time. Focusing on the task at hand requires us to do the simple, dirty things of flying first. "Fly The Plane" / "Look For Traffic" / "Keep The Ball Centered"… are just some of the things we may hear more or less frequently. When we watch other pilots fly, we have an awesome opportunity to gain a sneak peek at how they deal with distractions. A passenger pointing at his house in a turn, an ATC Controller rattling down a clearance or amended routing, a CFI dropping a pencil or a chart, or starting to chit chat just as we had to complete our pre- landing checklist or a talkative occupant can cause havoc to our ability to focus. Not answering the phone during a pre- flight inspection, not listing to last nights football results when getting ready to launch into the blue yonder… or keeping a sterile cockpit below a certain altitude can free up major resources in our brain and allow us to focus. It is never possible to remove all distractions. The only way to handle them is to continuously work on being aware of them and refining how much attention we pay to them.
5. Fatigue:
"Someone got a toothpick"? … We are always fresh and relaxed when we fly our seaplanes. It's fun! We have all spent time in cars or on airplanes and sooner or later we notice that everyone is asleep! It could have been a long flight, or not enough sleep the night before, or an oncoming cold. Whatever it may be, we may be physically or mentally fatigued and not even realize it. So could the guy or gal pumping JET A 1 into our Husky. Symptoms of fatigue are countless. Slow speech, slow eye movements, slow reaction times, delayed response, constantly doing the wrong thing first, or even physical weakness (trying to get up on the plane to fuel it) may be good indicators that we are dealing with someone who is, or are fatigued ourselves. Asking someone to look (y)our work over, and double-check, and paying attention to the symptoms of fatigue are the best prevention tools we have. Seeing someone walk around with an energy drink could be an indicator of dealing with someone who feels tired and is trying to squeeze a bit more performance out of him/ herself before taking a nap. Yes, there is a chance someone may just like the taste of Red Bull, but the chances of the person being tired or feeling exhausted are equally high. Ask a fellow pilots or share with him/her that you are tired and feeling exhausted. It may well mean the difference between a perfectly contempt copilot and a person who will keep us engaged and stay awake to keep us entertained on this upcoming 4 hour flight. Maybe its just better to take a power nap, sometimes a good nights sleep and a canceled flight are the best solution.
6.Lack of Resources:
"The sectional was sold out"… Missing people,equipment, documentation or time to complete a flight. Arrive a few minutes early and make sure everything is in order for the upcoming flight. By leaving ourselves an out, or a backup plan, in case we are missing anything that will help to complete the flight we have done a good first step. This could be as simple as finding out that the rental plane just recently had a new radio or GPS installed. Taxiing for takeoff is the worst possible time to try to figure out how to get a frequency changed or find out that frequencies for departure have changed.
To be continued…

It's dumpling time at Leong's Legends II!
The Taiwanese restaurant is located on Lisle street in London Chinatown, and is Leong's Legends second branch. This branch is larger than their first branch, as it covers two floors.
There are many dishes to order, but of course one that you can not miss is the Siu Long Bao. There are the choice of Leong's Siu Long Bao and/or Crab Meat Siu Long Bao, which comes with eight in a portion.
My favourite has to be the crab meat siu long bao, but both style are just as nice. Each dumplings are filled with hot soup, which make it nice for the cold winter weather.
A well-known Taiwanese dish has to be the braised belly pork rice. The pork at Leong's Legend needs to be braised a bit more for the meat to be softer.
We also ordered what the menu called Casket. This is a toast designed a box and filled with a creamy filling. An innovative idea with the use of simple ingredients.
We ordered many other dishes including congee, pancakes, as well as sweet and sour pork which came served with lychee. An interesting combination from the usual vegetable.
Leong's Legends II
26-27 Lisle Street

Deep Morning Kisses - Poem by Michael P. McParland
Deep morning kisses to you
my special true love.
Deep morning kisses to give you light
and hope to feel happy today.
I love you sweet one
and wish I could snuggle with you
a bit on this morn.
Deep morning kisses to you my sweet one
to fill you with all my love and warmth.
So you'll know that I'm with you
and holding your hand.
I'll always stick by you my Angel so good.
Deep kisses and hugs of immense
compassion, caring and love.
Deep morning kisses to you my only one.
I love you sweet lady and for you I'll be watching
all the while sending deep kisses in the morning
afternoon and in the nights of needing your presence.
I love you sweet lady with all that I am
with complete heart and soul.
Deep morning kisses to you because
your my Angel so pure.

Trent Ernst, Editor
Last week was a busy week for the Tumbler Ridge Chamber of Commerce.
On Tuesday, the Chamber hosted an evening for home-based businesses to discuss issues facing them.
The next day, they, along with representatives from the Government of BC and the District of Tumbler Ridge went on a business walk to take the pulse of local businesses.
Chamber Manager Carmen Drapeau says they haven't collated all the results yet.
"In fact, we're not quite finished doing it," she says. "There are a few businesses we still have to talk to."
Drapeau says the general sense is what one would expect. "Nearly everyone is affected by the shutdowns," she says. From contractors to local store owners, everyone is feeling the pinch.
Not all businesses have escaped unscathed. In the past year, Country Creations, The Duck Stop, Alpha Fire and Safety, and Jarrick Hair Salon have all closed downtown.
But that doesn't mean that all the businesses are in danger of going out of business.
"Some of the businesses are doing okay," says Drapeau. "They're hanging in there. They can see an end in sight. With the new projects starting up, hopefully they'll have the job fair soon. It's like we're crossing a big gorge; they just want to get to the other side."
As part of the business walk, Drapeau says, the question was what can the Chamber do to help them. "Would a workshop help? But what we heard was 'we need people, we need connections to the big projects.'"
Later this week, says Drapeau, the Chamber is having a meeting with representatives from the Meikle Wind Project and Borea Construction, the prime contractor, later this week, "We're going to hand them a list of businesses and tell them to use them first. The message from the local businesses is "we're here, we're available."

It was quick transform….
After I posted my blog here 2 days ago, wrote that I am relaxing now, seeing if music will be back to me, if my intention is still there..?
Yesterday, the day mercury retrograde to direct, somehow, I wanted listen "Imagine", famous John Lennon song. Maybe because, Christmas, the day for giving, making others happy not yourself. Energy of compassion, love and peace than ordinary days..
I went to youtube and played official Imagine video,…
When I start follow/sing a bit the songs… Tears filled me immediately and ran down, I'd started cry hardly,,,
I felt I found my answer. This video showed me every area of my goals…
Interesting how my eyes were changed that I saw this video before several times, it didn't touch me like this much ,, surely, I knew this is great song and master piece of the world.
Anyway, my wonderer was finished with mercury retrograde .. I am glad, tremendously happy now,, the day of Christmas Eve.. I feel god in me...
wow… Wish all the people feel god in ourselves…
Merry Christmas… May the god withn you...
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

All aboard
It was the usual traumatic wait with full bladder as they were running v late today. They had NINE transfers to do! Wonder how many of us will be smiling in two weeks' time?
Before the transfer we stopped off for an acupuncture session at a clinic that will treat girls on their way to and from transfer. I had to wait a while to be seen but felt relaxed afterwards. Mr G bought me a brioche as i'd not had time to eat breakfast. I felt a bit ropey as I ate far too much fish and chips last night. That and the progesterone pessaries are playing havoc with my guts. Need to watch what i'm eating I think.
At the clinic we had to identify ourselves and make sure we were the right people to receive the precious cargo. Turns out both had developed fine overnight. Both marked down as top quality but I think not quite as good as last time. One had got to 4 cells and the other was 3 - on the way to 4. They were pleased with them.
Lovely Dottore talked us through the whole procedure and kept us entertained but told Mr G off for making us laugh halfway through. He was v moved to see them launched on screen in a cloud of fluid into my uterus.
After we signed for them we went back for a post-transfer acupuncuture - which involved another half hour wait in reception during which Mr G got v cross with the useless receptionist. Whilst i relaxed with the needles Mr G went off to some posh food stores to stock up with goodies for our time at home this weekend.
I'm now on my sofa with a stack of DVD's, mug of tea, pile of magazines and cooking shows on tv. Total pampering.
Not sure how I feel this time. We've done all we can, the doc's have done all they can. All we can do now is wait and hope that these are the ones and that in 2 weeks time we get a BFP and in nine months time we get a BFbaby!
Good luck to all of you others out there starting your wait xx

Valentine's Day. The most hated day of the year. Well, not for me. I actually got a dozen roses, box of chocolates, a bag of Kit Kats, and lunch this year from my loving boyfriend, Brad. I remember the first year I celebrated it. I was 7 years old and my "boyfriend" was my neighbor across the pond. We were always playing outside together or in the woods pretending to be The Boxcar Children (lame, I know). He came walking over one day with this huge black trash bag, so of course, I started asking questions what it was. He just ignored me and went straight to my front door. I followed him in my house and he took out a huge teddy bear with heart shaped balloons all over it. I was SO embarrassed. So I ran straight to my closet and hid there for an hour. My dad kept telling me to come out and say thank you for all of my gifts, but my 7 year old blushing face would not come out until dark. I will never forget that Valentine's Day. It was definitely the most surprising one I've ever had.
If I was ever given something I really didn't want for V-day, birthday, Christmas, or whatever, I would definitely smile and say thank you. Then re-gift it for someone else. If I worked for a florist company, I would persuade people to buy MY flowers with a lot of ads in papers, internet, ect. I would also update my company's Twitter or Facebook accounts by updating the status and making tweets about how beautiful my company's flowers were.

This Denmark the Peak Pinot Noir 2015 is an attractive, light - medium bodied Pinot with good texture and good palate weight. Has lightly spiced cherry fruit flavours typical of this variety and hints of sweet cocoa with gentle tannins on the finish. Very easy drinking style of wine and perfect food wine.
The winery that produces this Great Southern the Peak Pinot Noir 2015 is at the top of its game and is one of the most awarded wineries in the Great Southern Region of WA. The winery is rated a perfect 5 red stars by James Halliday in his 2016 Wine companion. The winemaker is a legend and has done 27 vintages in the Great Southern region and is held in high regard in WA.
Comments from Our Wine Buyer: This tasty Pinot from Denmark is light to medium bodied and very easy drinking. The winery sourced most of this Pinot Noir from vineyards in the Great Southern with a smaller percentage (12%) coming from Pemberton. Some of the parcels of grapes were from relatively young vines; they tend to have more delicate fruit characters so are well suited to this lighter, more approachable style of wine. The component from Frankland adds a complexing spicy richness. A great easy drinking Pinot at a sensational price. My Score – 93/100 WACC Gold Medal.

Similarties and Contrasts of Friendship and Betrayal
Friendship. Betrayal. What is the difference between these opposites? Friendship is an alliance that is founded upon trust. Friendship is very much analogous to a joint faith amid friends. Friends are individuals who socialize together and communicate with each other. Betrayal on the other hand, is more of a destroying a trust with remarks, actions, or thoughts. This ties in exceptionally well with the book, A Separate Peace by John Knowles, which integrates the duality concept of friendship as well as betrayal.
In the book A Separate Peace, two friends, Gene and Phineas, are the su…

What better way to for a mystery to develop. A woman is electrocuted during a curling event in a small town. Some of my favorite things. I've been ready to murder people during curling matches, so I could relate.
Louise Penny's second in her Chief Inspector Gamache series, has the inspector and his team working to solve a murder in the town of Three Pines. In addition to prime murder, Gamache is also looking into the murder of a street person in Montreal. They have there similarities, neither victim has used their real name, and for different reasons no one seems to care that the murders occurred. During the investigation Gamache's team gets some incite into mental illness, neglectful and abusive parents, and the homeless. While dealing with a hard Canadian winter that has become a character in it's own. Louise Penny shows the faults and insecurities of her characters that make them believable and I find them easy to relate with.
I recommend the Chief Inspector Gamache series anyway you want to read or listen, and in whatever order you find a copy. They may relate better to someone close to my own age bracket, later boomer, but I think there is something for everyone in each of the books.
I had mentioned previously in an earlier review of Penny's 3rd book in the series "The Cruelest Month", that I had hoped that I didn't ruin the second by reading it out of order, it didn't. All of the Louise Penny books, I felt, stand alone, and could be read in any order. I do hope to find the next book in the series and do not have to jump around.
It has been suggested to me if I listened to books it would be easier to understand the French used in the Penny books, but I am getting better and it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing more than just reading for entertainment. Plus I like the feel of the book in my hands.
It has been a bit difficult to find books while traveling. It seems that due to the availability of books electronically many of the marinas have eliminated the "Put and Take" libraries. Maybe I'm going to have to break down and ask for a Kindle or something like it of my own for Yule Tide. I'm afraid I might spend extra when they are so easy to upload.
Up next, in honor of all the spiders we have had this season on the boat, I am reading "The Cobweb" by Neal Stephenson & J. Frederick George, If it's anything like the last Stephenson book I read I'm in for a real treat.
Until next time, we are traveling down the east coast of Wisconsin and are having a great time and have seen many interesting sights. Thanks to all who have commented and are following us as we move about.

Bar Stools. Monday , January 01st , 2018 - 10:39:22 AM
Everyone has different tastes and preferences which is why most internet and store retailers make sure to keep a large selection of bar stools available in order to meet most needs. If you are apprehensive about purchasing a full set of bar stools for your home, start out by purchasing one and if it is the right fit you can always purchase the rest at a later point in time. Do not be afraid to ask questions, that is what furniture sales people are for and it is always better to feel absolutely comfortable with your purchase instead of regretting it later.
Look at the length of the breakfast bar and from that work out how many stool will fit comfortably along it. Bear in mind that people will swivel on the stools and knees will knock if they are too close together. Most of our stools are quite wide and they all include a swivel feature.
The rattan and bamboo are only two types of wood used in designing modern bar stools, and are making a come-back with a slight retro feel.

Cost of fresh wedding flowers?
Obviously, this is usually a question that has to be considered quite early on in the planning stage…
Bespoke Flowers:
We tend not to include price lists for our flowers, not to be vague or elusive but simply because every wedding or event is different. As we cater for all types of celebrations and budgets, we prefer to give an individual estimate based on the types of arrangements required. Because we understand that this is not overly helpful in your initial planning stages, we do have a list that can be emailed if you would like 'ball park' figures, please just ask.
As we make bespoke designs that are made especially for the individual, we can cater for all styles and all price ranges. We want to provide high quality designs to fit each individual wedding budget and so we provide estimates for each enquiry.
Amaryllis doesn't believe that it should cost anymore just because it is a wedding, we've all heard the horror stories that brides feel as though the price triples as soon as the 'W' word is mentioned! Wedding flowers do usually carry a higher price tag but that is simply because we use a higher quality of flowers than you would normally have for say a birthday bouquet. Particular flowers in certain colour shades have to be pre ordered in which costs more, and it takes time to make intricate designs. Believe us when we say that it takes a lot more than 20 minutes to decorate a marquee or fill those 'just picked from the garden' jam jars!
We used to list the cost of flowers, labour and materials to expose the total breakdown of all costs but brides told us that they found it a little confusing and seemed to prefer to see an overall cost, so now we've reverted back to price each bouquet, buttonhole or arrangement individually. It's simple though; if you want pearls and sparkles they will cost you extra-if you don't, it won't! Roses and orchids are going to cost you more than using gerbera.
This is why we really hate the 'prices from…' we really feel that it does not represent the service we offer. If your budget is £25 or £2500 that is great, we can accommodate everyone. We will also help you stick to your budget by advising which flowers will be in season, or perhaps suggest alternatives to ensure you have the look you had dreamed of. We like everything we make to look the best which normally means expensive, but it doesn't have to be. The best thing to do is email us or meet up and have a chat.
As long as we are content with the availability and quality of blooms, we are more than happy for you to provide your own home/locally grown flowers and foliage-and it makes us feel good to have carbon free footprints! There is no reason why we cannot use a mix of locally grown flowers and those shipped in from abroad if they are going to be high quality and available on time (this is the down fall though with our current unpredictable British climate). Many brides love the personal touch of having home grown sweet peas or foliage from Granny's garden. If you can get your hands on some home grown lily of the valley, you can save a fortune!
Claire charges £20 per hour for the flower arranging and design service.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
We realise that not everyone is quite as obsessed about flowers as we are and are not interested in spending hours and hours researching shades of roses! Whether you are planning a wedding with short notice, on a tight budget or perhaps it's just that you don't want to think about flowers that much, but would like something beautiful for the special couple. For fuss free loving couples we offer packages that take away all of the stress.
Please contact us for available packages.

You can enjoy the content we have for this event but you can no longer book online for this event.
Our theme this year is New York's 42nd Street, and nothing is more symbolic of the city that never sleeps than this infamous exploitation masterpiece from 1980. Remade with Elijah Wood in 2012, this is Bill Lustig's original film: a grimy, dirty and violent look at a psychopath (Joe Spinell) who stalks the streets of New York.
Lustig, a long-term attendee of the 42nd Street grindhouses, perfectly captured the danger, the seediness and the atmosphere of depravity of the New York that he knew. Not for the faint-hearted, Maniac is the ultimate exploitation classic that will stick in your head for days.

Sign up: With one click, get this newsletter delivered to your inbox.
The downturn in freight volumes is hitting truck manufacturers hard. Orders for new heavy-duty trucks plunged in the final months of 2015, the WSJ Logistics Report's Brian Baskin writes, and the result is hitting manufacturing plants and cutting into forecasts for new capacity. Reluctant to invest in their fleets until the economic picture has cleared, trucking companies ordered 37% fewer trucks in December compared with a year earlier. November was worse, with total orders at a six-year low for that month. The sudden drop has pushed vehicle manufacturers to lay off thousands of workers, and stuck dealers with a near-record number of unsold trucks. Analysts say it could take months for the market to find its balance, and more disappointing freight demand would only prolong the industry's woes.
Heavy-duty truck makers may find signs of hope in their latest order numbers. The 27,800 trucks that companies bought last month, marked a 70% increase over November, according to research group FTR. That's a big month-to-month gain, but analysts say it's not much of a vote of confidence in 2016: the sequential increase was off a very deep trough in November and orders remained far behind the year-ago level. December's buys of new Class 8 rigs, as the biggest trucks are called, suggest trucking companies are returning to historic norms for fleet investment. However, some of the rigs are for delivery late next year, and along with the cutbacks in factory production that means the latest sales won't turn into new capacity anytime soon.
Apple Inc.'s problems with iPhone sales are sending pain through the company's far-flung supply chain. Apple is scaling back orders for its flagship product, a decision that is reverberating across a multibillion-dollar industry of component suppliers, the WSJ's Eva Dou reports, leading to layoffs at some companies and idle time at factories that usually are humming ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year break. The concerns are showing up in sagging stock prices at critical suppliers such as Foxconn Technology Group, Largan Precision Co. and Pegatron Corp. And Apple's enormous scale means any cutbacks will spread to more companies across the electronics giant's supply chain as they move to slim down Apple's distribution channels to meet reduced needs.
Vietnam, Japan and Malaysia are likely to be the biggest winners in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but a study of the sweeping trade agreement suggests there will be plenty of economic gain to spread around. The report released by the World Bank says the benefits for U.S. and other North American countries also will be significant, though smaller than those for Asian participants, the WSJ's William Mauldin reports. The estimate that Vietnam would get a 10% economic boost by 2030 and Japan a 2.7% gain from TPP came after a detailed look at tariff reductions that turn out to be deeper than experts had anticipated. The growth forecasts may echo loudly in countries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia that are not part of the TPP bloc but may consider joining so that they're not left behind.
The latest logistics adjustment to e-commerce distribution is at the fingertips of warehouse workers. In the scramble to boost productivity amid the surging online orders, WSJ Logistics Report's Loretta Chao writes that companies are looking at a warehouse staple: the scanner gun. From scanner rings to modified smartphones, several alternatives to the familiar design have emerged in recent years. Zebra Technologies is planning to launch a new industrial reader that the company says is more ergonomic and can boost picking productivity more than 14%. There's a bonus for workers: the transportation and warehousing industry records some of the highest rates of musculoskeletal disorders in business, and the latest scanners are lighter with a new shape and a large touch screen. That should make the work easier as well as faster.
