I did a session earlier this month to mark a young man's milestone of entering high school. He was a little shy at the start of the session but he warmed up before long.

All She Wants To Do Is Dance...
You have all seen this beautiful face before...it's Tori. This was her third year of dance and unfortunately I had to miss her recital because of another family wedding so I took some shots of her in her costumes. She has watched one too many episodes of "America's Next Top Model" with her mom, as she knew all the right flattering poses.

Liquid Light
Liquid Light is a relatively new project that is still very much in its infancy. After extensive development of light painting tools that are capable of full water submersion, this project is now being realised. Each of the images below are a single exposure, captured whilst I am under, or nearly under the water and waving the light painting tools above. The play of light with the water as it flings off the edge of the tool creates the most beautiful effects. There is a lot of development to come this summer (I am a too old and chicken to get into the water during winter), and I have some great new ideas to push this further.

The boundary of the Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa stretches some 5km (3 miles) out to sea, protecting a wonderland of inter-tidal life, reef and deep-sea fish. This beautiful park conserves a wonderful stretch of temperate coastal forest, as well as extending 5km into the sea thus forming a marine reserve as well. The scenery is breathtaking - wild rugged coastal cliffs plunge into the sea, and dark black rivers run through deeply incised gorges with ferns, flowers and mosses clinging to their sheer sides.
Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa
Deep forest gives way to sunny areas of fragrant fynbos with a myriad of colourful plants and flitting iridescent birds. The main camp is at the Storms River Mouth, where visitors can choose to stay in self-catering wooden chalets or camp. There is a shop and restaurant with a fantastic view. A smaller, much more basic camp at Nature's Valley offers camping and simple huts.
Activities include scuba diving, kloofing on the Storms River, the Otter and Dolphin hiking trails, day walks, swimming, fishing, birding, snorkelling, and an escorted boat trip up the gorge. The main camp at Storms River Mouth is just off the N2, about 600km from Cape Town and about 200km from Port Elizabeth.

The Merea collection has borrowed its name from the pulsating, puffed-up star Mira, a red celestial body that periodically grows bright. In complete alignment with the brands philosophy, every Merea watch eloquently demonstrates its variable character.
Responsible for the Merea collection being extended with the marvelous TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton Joaillerie watch is the success encountered by its predecessor, TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch. Extremely light, this timepiece represents an original marriage of refined watchmaking and exclusive jewelry art.
Born under the keen eyes and dexterous hands of the brands major specialists, this novelty celebrates the union of charismatic design and technical excellence. As it name suggests, the new Milus watch offers an extremely useful retrograde seconds function, incorporated into a dynamic three-part case, sculptured in 18-carat white gold.
The undeniable highlight of the Milus watch is surely its seductive dial, artfully studded with white and black diamonds. This breathtaking embellishment continuous on the bezel, the bracelet attachment elements and the oversized crown, lending this model an especially glamorous touch.
Shielded by an oval, lightly curved sapphire crystal, the dial strikes the eye with its highly personal design. It is performed in three different layers. To begin with, the brands craftsmen have embellished the movement base with circular graining. It is followed by the application of an iridescent layer of mother-of-pearl, which produces a subtle interplay of color. On the third level, the dial features irresistible white and black diamonds.
The watch display proudly reveals three silver-colored seconds hands, which sequentially jump back after each 20 seconds. Located at 6, 10 and 2 oclock, they glide clockwise in flying relay. These jumping seconds hands are brought to life by an exclusive Swiss-made mechanical movement with automatic winding.
On its backside, the precious watch is equipped with a round sapphire crystal exhibition window, which provides a stunning vision of the movement and the skeleton oscillating rotor, sculptured in the shape of the Milus logo.
The Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton Joaillerie watch is presented on a black galuchat strap.

She was such a good mother that she was exclusively nursing her son - except of course when she was attending her classes required by court to get her son back. Yes, she was nursing while doing drugs.
Best drug mommy in the world called me on the phone the weekend her son came to stay. Good thing, since I was a bit lost. But drug mommy to the rescue. She told me how to burp her son. Explained, in detail how to burp him, since apparently he didn't burp like other babies. I was grateful for this information since the baby was getting quite grumpy after two days of not burping. He was even starting to swell.
Well, the best drug mommy also knows the best bottles for her nursing only baby. She is also quite offended if you do not purchase those bottles. It is not like I was stupid enough to show up at the first visit with just any ordinary bottles. I bought the special vent things from Playtex. Wide nipple tops for babies transitioning from nursing. Hey, it wasn't the Platex nursers with the annoying little bags so my name is mud. She actually came out of the visit complaining the little guy was choking from the bottle. I so wanted to say,
"Really? he never chokes at my house. You just must not know how to feed him a bottle." I didn't, but I thought it.
A few days later I had a chance for best drug mommy to really put me in my place. Her son came down with a case of thrush in his mouth. Caused by an overgrowth of yeast and quite common in young babies. But being the good foster mommy I am, I take him to the doctor for medicine. So I told the mom on one of her many calls. She then informed me that he had thrush once before in foster care only - never at her house. And it is cause by dirty bottles and nipples. I was able to casually mention that it was not caused by this and she preceded to argue. I was able to choke out that it wasn't caused by this at my house, but I am not sure my pathetic attempt to save my hide worked. She was sure I caused this case of thrush.
This week we have had the fun of best drug mommy resuming her nursing on her visits. This is after two clean drug tests. The mom has been even more humble about her mothering abilities now.
How do I stand it and why do I allow this to continue? Well, I am learning so much. . .

Seal Diving - Montague Island, South Coast NSW/
Diving with Seals on the NSW South Coast
As you know I recently learnt to scuba dive. I also became a member of my local scuba club, which offers a few times a year, trips to Montague Island off the coast of Narooma NSW to dive with the Australian Fur Seals that inhabit the island .
The boat ride out to the island was choppy to say the least, we anchored in the lee of the sou'easter that was creating the chop, which as (bad) luck would have it was directly down wind from the seal colony.
The day was split into 2 dives with the dive boat captain supplying soup and rolls to fend off the chill (temps were low teens out of the water, even less with the wind, while the water was 17-14ºc degrees depending on depth).
I really can see the ease that having a regular dive buddy creates. I joined a small group of 3 experiences divers.
Any one was more experienced as me - I have not dived since my open water qualification.
Dive 1
I remembered all the safety checks, the buddy checks, the equipment checks - I was feeling pretty cocksure of myself. I entered the water using perfect 'giant stride'
[youtube http://youtu.be/PIsX9jFORNw"]
Almost immediately upon reforming in out little group of four at the bow of the dive boat I realised I was breathing too fast. Looking back at the GoPro video I took of Dive 1, I could actually count I was breathing 1 breath every 2 seconds - basically hyperventilating.
On getting away from the boat under water the Australian Fur Seals come straight up to us and started screaming around like some jet powered underwater labrador. With big brown eyes looking at you.. calling you to come play.
As the dive progressed I could I tell that as a group when we did 'air checks' I was using far more air than the other 3. About 23 minutes into the dive when we did another 'air check', the look on the small group leader's face when I indicated I had 80 bar (started with 230 bar) showed me that something was really wrong. He gave me the hand signal to take his emergency hose and 'share air'. This is a scary sign to receive on my first dive, but I was not going to argue.
We started slowly heading back to the anchor line of the dive boat on the shared air, holding the arm of the dive leader. Once we got to the site were we were going to do a 'safety stop' before ascending, I went back onto my air.
I surfaced with 40 bar remaining.
After drying off and putting some warmer clothes on to have some soup, I got talking to the group leader, he agreed yes I was breathing too fast, mainly because I was nervous. I also removed a weight from my weight belt as I felt weighted down, which adds to the unsettled leading to further nervousness underwater
Dive 2
As soon as I got under water this time, I felt more relaxed, more natural
The video also backs this up to my breathing halving. One breath every 4 seconds.
During this dive we stayed around the 16m mark, seeing a Port Jackson Shark, large rays cruising the rock ledges and of course the seals.
I can see how much easier having your own gear is along with adding to a sense of security- knowing your gear.
I think my next purchase will be a dive computer - I am thinking of a simple Mares Puck for around $180 on Amazon

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama isn't president yet, but his must-do list just got longer.
The newest addition to the lengthy list of tasks after taking office: helping oversee the overhaul of the world's financial regulatory system. That is one of the assignments to the president-elect from current global leaders after their weekend summit, where they pledged action to avoid a repeat of the financial mess that has caused worldwide economic chaos.
"Obama has a tall order," said Morris Goldstein, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics who spent years working at the International Monetary Fund, the world's financial firefighter.
"He has a lot of things he has to do quickly in a number of areas and doesn't have a lot of time to think about them," Goldstein said in an interview Sunday.
That will put a lot of pressure on Obama. He did not participate in the emergency two-day summit that concluded Saturday, instead sending representatives to meet with leaders on the sidelines.
After taking the oath of office Jan. 20, Obama will have to figure out in short order how far his administration is willing to go in revamping oversight of financial companies and products, in the United States and abroad, and nailing down the crucial details.
"Obama has an incredible mountain to climb in the way of the economic and financial situation," said Richard Yamarone, economist at Argus Research.
President George W. Bush hosted the summit, where nearly two dozen foreign leaders endorsed broad goals to fend off any future calamities and to revive the global economy.
It will be up to finance ministers to flesh out the details to put such changes in place by the end of March. Leaders plan to hold the next summit by April 30 — just months into Obama's term.
"I think this puts Obama and a new administration in a very difficult position," said Steven Schrage, a former Bush administration trade official now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"It's really going to be up to the next administration to figure, do they breathe life into this? Does this go forward? Do they take it in a different direction?"
All the while, the new president will be under immense pressure to bring relief to millions of Americans who have watched jobs disappear, nest eggs shrink, home values plunge, foreclosures zoom upward and banks — along with storied Wall Street firms — laid low by the financial and economic crises.
"Make no mistake: This is the greatest economic challenge of our times," Obama said Saturday in the weekly Democratic radio address. "And while the road ahead will be long and the work will be hard, I know that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis."
The president-elect himself did not weigh in after the summit about whether he agreed with the thrust of the leaders' broad goals. But he indicated the global gathering was a good idea because "our global economic crisis requires a coordinated global response," he said Saturday.
Translating the leaders' sweeping principles into specific actions will be difficult. "That's the rub. That's where you really see the differences across countries in what you want to do," Goldstein said. "In the coming months, we'll see to what extent Obama's agenda will conflict with the Europeans."
Leaders pledged to make the global financial system more accountable to investors and less vulnerable to risky investing. But there are sure to be differences of opinion on exactly how to accomplish that, which could impede progress at the next summit in the spring.
To provide relief from the current woes, the leaders supported the benefits of enacting government spending plans to stimulate their economies. But they stopped short of a commitment for all to act at the same time, as some Europeans had favored.
The Bush administration has reacted coolly to the idea of a second U.S. stimulus plan.
For Wall Street, the leaders' talk about ways to provide relief probably will be of more importance than efforts to prevent another financial fiasco, experts said. Even without new concrete commitments for government spending, tax cuts or interest rate reductions, the fact that leaders came together to address the crisis and did not let it become a blame game should help bolster some confidence on Wall Street, according to Goldstein, Yamarone and others.
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, appearing on CNN's "Late Edition" on Sunday, warned against the making any new financial rules of the road too restrictive.
"There is an inclination, when you get into problems like this to go to an extreme, to over regulate, to think that we're going to have a worldwide compensation system. How is that going to be done? I think we have to be careful, we have to find a balance and we can't over regulate so that five years from now we're trying to claw our way back because we overdid it," he said.

Host a Golden Globes Cocktail Party
There's really nothing better than an excuse to wear a fancy dress and break out the gigantic costume jewelry — other than never, ever leaving your apartment again, now that America has turned into a godforsaken, frozen wasteland of doom. Fortunately, you can combine these two activities — if huddling under a blanket for hours while the wind whistles threateningly outside can really count as an "activity" — by hosting a Golden Globes cocktail party for all of your equally chilly friends.
Click here for our 8 Golden Globe Party Cocktails (Slideshow)
Despite this record-breaking cold snap, our traditions must prevail, and what American institution is more time-honored than sipping cocktails and nibbling hors d'oeuvres at an awards party? You could argue, "Why, shooting fireworks on the Fourth of July is a pretty customary American practice," or "Thanksgiving turkey, dummy," and you might be right, but you'd be less fun than we are.
Besides, "But it's tradition!" is a great way to guilt your friends into trudging their way through the sleety streets to your toasty little apartment so that they might gather around your flat-screen, cheer on their favorite actresses, and scream, "Oh, honey, no!" at the worst red carpet styles. If your pals are going to traverse this tundra for your benefit, however, you should be a good hostess and offer them an array of delicious beverage options for their trouble.
Gearing up for a Golden Globe party this Sunday? Have we got the goods for you. For your friends who are sticking to their New Year's resolutions, grab a couple of bottles of Skinnygirl — their line of low-calorie options are delicious and feel more like an indulgence than they really are. For everyone else, we've got a whole lineup of full-calorie blends to match.

Positon rack in center of oven. Preheat to 300F. Grease a 10 inch springform pan. For crust, mix crumbs, cocoa, and sugar. Mix in butter. Spread onto bottom of pan.
For filling, melt chocolate. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, chocolate, amaretto, and extracts. Pour mixture over crust. Bake about 1 hour or until firm. Turn off oven and leave cake in for about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool completely. Unmold onto plate.
For topping, melt chocolate and butter the same as above. Pour over top of finished cake.
I have found that the amaretto can be replaced with another liquer of your choosing, but remember to omit the almond extract. You can also try leaving out the liquer all together.

The busty model has been spotted taking a self-defence class in the US - and after seeing these snaps we won't be messing with Ms Brook anytime soon.
Wearing a pink and black lycra outfit with matching trainers, Kelly, who has been enjoying a holiday in the US with her ripped up beau, certainly meant business as she kicked and punched her way through the private session.
The 34-year-old has never looked happier than in recent days as she and David McIntosh have been spotted walking arm in arm across the US.
And going out with a chiseled fella has clearly inspired Kelly to toughen up herself as she went flat out during her workout.
And she certainly looked a whole lot better than her 27-year-old boyfriend did when he was spotted earlier this week wearing an EXTREMELY tight pair of short shorts.
The pair were out on Muscle Beach in California and even Kelly seemed to find David's choice of outfit mildly amusing.
Not that it kept her away from her muscly hunk and pictures of the couple enjoying endless PDAs have become a regular sight in recent days.
It is no wonder then that Kel has been named the "most perfect girlfriend" in a celebrity poll.
She fought off competition from Cheryl Cole, Jessica Ennis and Denise Van Outen to clinch the title.

Mommy and me infant and toddler early sensory learning classes in Hoboken, New Jersey and Waldwick, New Jersey. We focus on sensory play, socialization and American Sign Language. Each session is based on a book. Each class is inspired by a page within the book. Each class is a unique experience for the caregiver and child.
Hugs & Bugs Club was inspired by my son, Jackson, and my hopes for him to socialize more and experience new things regularly. We tried pretty much all the classes and some of them were great, especially in the beginning when they were new. But, once the wow factor of a new drum or bubble wand disappeared, he became super bored, went stir crazy, and entertained himself by finding new ways of tearing down the room or escaping. This became increasingly difficult since I was pregnant with his baby brother, Rex. So I started researching sensory games and materials, and their benefits, and I was blown away! You mean he could be entertained, learn something cool and I can take a shower for longer than two seconds!?! That's it! Why not create a constantly changing sensory playgroup for him and our little friends to have fun and learn!?! So I did and I am loving every moment of Hugs & Bugs Club! I'm so thankful to all the amazing and creative people I have met, my amazing boys and all the kids for constantly inspiring me!

Cruz & Jaxon
Hey Troops,
Jaxon is just a real cute dude, a wholesome-looking guy next door -- and I'm super pleased that he's taken a shine to us. He says he had a "hell of a lot of fun" his first time around (with Niko). "Niko's a lot of fun." I tell Jaxon that we've got fun guys all over the place, and he smiles, and says, "well that's pretty damn good!"
"We got fun guys hidden in the closets..." and then Jaxon looks over to the closet. lol. No, we aren't having anybody pop out of closets today. (But hey, that does give me an idea...) I tell Jaxon that we've got a guy for him today, Cruz, that's just as much fun as Niko. Jason chuckles a bit at that notion.
I ask what was his favorite thing about Niko, and he says it was "probably just him pounding me." I say, "Oh yeah?" "Yeah. It was so damn big! It was a first for me. He broke me (in) good." I ask if he's beenfantasizing about it sense, and he says, "mmhmm." Well now! I say, "Let's see what we can make happen today."
Cruz soon comes in, and the guys have a pretty funny exchange, as they get to know one another. As the clothes start to come off, Cruz starts to shuck off his
jeans, mentioning his underwear. "I don't wear any underwear," Jaxon says. Cruz laughs, "I noticed!"
Soon, it's time for the bottoms to start throwing themselves in the air, as Jaxon's rear is presented to Cruz, who rims him until it's nice and wet -- and ready for his dick. Cruz fucks Jaxon from behind, as Jaxon holds on to the comforter for dear life. Jaxon soon flips over, with his feet up in the air, and Cruz long-strokes him nice and slow. Jaxon is taking it like a champ, whispering encouragement to Cruz every so often, eventually leading up to what Cruz has been wanting to hear: "It's about time I fuck you."

On the Indonesian island of Bali, Ubud is a town that serves as an arts and cultural center for the island. It's also a tourism hub that calls to mind images of rice terraces, beautiful beaches, and enchanting temple ceremonies. A visitor favorite, Ubud is home to popular music and dance shows, Balinese cultural activities, spas, and exotic resorts – one of which is the Bambu Indah. Founded in 2005 when owners John and Cynthia Hardy brought eleven antique Javanese bridal homes to Bali, Bambu Indah is one of Ubud's finest resorts, offering the charm and history of Indonesia with the luxurious comfort of a boutique hotel. Bambu Indah combines together the best of antique architecture and design with modern sustainability. Stroll along the flat stone paths through rice paddies before taking a swim in fresh pool of water. Then, visit the Bambu Indah spa for a traditional Balinese massage before retiring to one of the Javanese teak wood houses on the property. Each served as a bridal house for a Javanese nobleman and provides exceptional comfort in lovingly restored and luxurious furnishings.
The Udang House, for example, is one of the most unique vacation homes in Bali. Situated above a fresh shrimp pond, this Bambu Indah favorite showcases a tempered glass floor not unlike the one we saw on Patrick Blanc's home office . Relax and watch the shrimp swim in the comfort of your house – a once in a lifetime experience. This bedroom shot intrigued us so much that we ended up looking for the photographer behind it. We were not disappointed. Check out the making of this scene in the video featured at the end of the article.
Other properties throughout Bambu Indah have features like glass tiled roofing, lavish Moroccan rugs, Indonesian fabrics, Burmese lacquerware, antiques, four poster beds, porches for lounging and meditation, or a private bale for dining.
In several of the properties, indoor/outdoor showers allow you to commune with nature. Natural features like bambu, smoothed river stones, and century old teak are worked in elegantly. Abundant greenery surrounds the homes – it's truly a sight to behold.
Bambu Inda is an incredible escape for the traveler seeking solitude and peace. Perhaps a writer, working on a novel, or a thinker, needing a place for reflection. For those who love nature, it's a spiritual experience. For couples, it's an ideal honeymoon destination or romantic getaway. Families too will fall in love with this gem in Ubud. Comments from the photographer: "Shooting the glass-floored Shrimp House was a first on many fronts. First time wrangling fish on an interior shoot. And first time kicking out Cameron Diaz. (She was upgraded.)" Photography: DjunaPix Hat tip: BlessThisStuff

21 Midfielder Liverpool Spain
2014 has been...
He arrived at Anfield in early 2010 after a personal intervention from Rafa Benitez. The next big thing in Spanish football didn't need to go to Barcelona, nor did he have to accept Real Madrid's lucrative offer. No, Suso could realise his potential and become a star on Merseyside.
No sooner had one Spaniard arrived at Anfield than another departed. With his team in decline, Benitez was relieved of his duties by the then Reds management. None of this mattered to Jesús Joaquín Fernández Sáenz de la Torre though, he was a Liverpool player now and the club were appropriately ecstatic to have secured the starlet. Schooled by Cadiz, Suso was a standout Spanish youngster from another batch of standout Spanish youngsters. A jet heeled, two footed winger cum striker, here was a kid that had the lot. Trickery, pace, strength, guile and a useful knack for hitting a football rather hard.
After serving his time with the reserves, Suso was given a first team debut by new coach Brendan Rodgers in a Europa League match against Young Boys in September 2012. Having impressed, he was drafted into the first team squad for that weekend's Premier League visit of Manchester United. After a poor start to his new job, Rodgers' team gradually began to gain fluency and a five match winless run was replaced by a nine game unbeaten one.
Suso played his part in Liverpool's revival without making his inclusion in the first eleven a given. Operating on both the right and left flanks and, occasionally, through the middle, he offered an outlet ball and used his pace to good effect, distracting opposition defenders and allowing Luis Suarez to begin his phenomenal goal scoring run. As Suarez' powers began to peak, Rodgers used Suso less and less and the emergence of Raheem Sterling and arrival of Coutinho gave Liverpool's play a further dimension that the Spaniard was unable to compliment.
In order to revive their player, Liverpool sensibly sent Suso out on loan to Almeria last season and he started life at his new club extremely well. However, it didn't take long for the reality of just how hard a season this would be for Rojiblancos, and a ten match run without victory was punctuated with seven defeats.
To his credit, Suso looked as able a player as any available to coach Francisco Rodríguez and, despite a long season of toil, a superb late flurry of results saw his team escape relegation by the slimmest of margins. Suso was hardly prolific, but certainly played his part alongside Verza, Rodri and Aleix Vidal in staving off relegation.
What's next?
Ultimately Suso's vital free kick at Espanyol In late April will be long remembered by Almeria fans. His goal was the catalyst for survival and sparked enough of a revival to haul the team from nailed on relegation fodder to a more serene 17th place and safety. Recalled to Liverpool by Brendan Rodgers in the summer, Suso was involved in pre season and made the bench for The Reds' Champions league return in September. Of note is his bizarre hat trick (one goal in normal time and TWO penalty kicks in the shoot out) in a league cup tie against Middlesbrough, but with a groin injury currently keeping him away from the first team squad, and the impending end of his contract looming, you have to wonder if that may be that.
While his agent continues to make claims that Suso will be staying at Anfield, no new contract has been secured and the player is able to talk to other clubs in January. He may well have had an opportunity to earn a longer stay at the club had injury not wrecked the first half of this season.
Whether Liverpool decide to persevere with the Spaniard is open to debate, but with little to show for his five years in England, you have to imagine a parting of the ways is the most likely outcome. Of late, Milan have been mentioned as being keen on Suso and he will represent an intriguing free transfer for someone should that situation arise, but it's unlikely that the next great hope for Spanish football will live up to his early billing, wherever he may end up. Hope has long since moved on.
"It's not as if he's not going to have a career, but there's a real element of what could have been here. Sometimes, they just never reach that potential." - Jeff Livingstone
"Suso (7) was the youngest player to provide five or more assists in La Liga last season." - OptaJoe
D Declining from a low start point.

I haven't forgotten of my little corner of the internet. Things are busy. I've constructed two band pass filters based on the article here:
…and cribbing notes from a QRPSchool video:
BLUF – mine don't work.
My first, immediate observation, is that trying to get 48 turns on a T-48 core is a goddamn no-go. I found an online calculator and re-ran the numbers on a larger toroid. Pictures of my failed attempts may be posted at a later time. Additional observations from the EE I had check my work:
The metal project box may act like a faraday cage. RF is like voodoo, and my plastic boxes may not provide enough isolation.
My boxes were built according to the schematic in the article. The actual filters are constructed differently – maybe. All the L1 components share the same positive and ground connection.
My next attempt will be as close to exact duplication as possible, metal enclosure and foil PCB.

The ConfabulistSteven Galloway
There is, perhaps, nothing more terrifying
than the possibility of being led astray by one's own mind. If we can't trust our own perceptions, memories, or reasoning, then there is no escape-no way to move out of the tortured state of limbo that lies between our own perceptions and a reality they cannot ascertain.
The Confabulist
-the new novel by Steven Galloway, who wrote
The Cellist of Sarajevo
, the 2012 One Maryland Book pick-dwells in distortion as it follows the intertwined lives of Harry Houdini and Martin Strauss, the rather ordinary man who happened to kill the master illusionist. Partly as a result of the guilt he feels over Houdini's death, Martin is losing his memory and, according to his doctor, his mind. Like Nabokov's Humbert Humbert, Martin Strauss is a delightfully unreliable narrator.
But just as the protagonist of Christopher Nolan's influential 2000 film
used a series of photographs as breadcrumbs to find his way out of a world with no memory, Martin Strauss has a notebook written in an odd code. He got it just after he punched Houdini out, and it will eventually uncover a mysterious underworld of lost memories-or imaginations. As in a novel, text creates the world on each page for a man like Martin, and the book we are reading is his attempt at sanity. "Perhaps if I write things down, I can create a story for myself that, through rereading, will become a new sort of reality as my ability to distinguish between illusion and substance worsens," he says in a sentence that could well describe any form of literary effort.
Martin's illusory world is illuminated by the story of Houdini, whom we find, at the novel's outset in 1897, at the height of his popularity. It is clear that Galloway did his homework and
The Confabulist
reads-in chapters that alternate with Martin's ruminations-like a biography of the great magician, including detailed discussions of his illusions ("not tricks, tricks are something whores do for money," as
Arrested Development
's Gob would put it) and gossipy details about his love life. For, while Houdini may be a symbol of excellence and showmanship, he was also quite a dick. He was a notorious womanizer and, in this book at least, he hangs out with shady characters who talk like people in
fan fiction. And Galloway gives no life to Houdini's wife, relegating her to the background, where she does little more than cry, glare, or give her husband a look.
In general, it feels as if Galloway has tried to cram too much into this book, leaving too many characters underdeveloped and stunted. Galloway dabbles in the history of spiritualism, as in his depiction of Arthur Conan Doyle, who tries to convince Houdini that fairies are real and that his wife communes with spirits. And there's an interesting but ultimately superfluous section about the Romanov Empire-pages which would have been better spent making Houdini a more human character and delving into what is left of Martin's memories. But neither of these characters are as detailed as they could be. Houdini never really comes into focus. At times it feels like he is the subject of the book and, at others, as if he is here merely to elucidate Martin's story, which also fails to come together enough to command our attention. Of course, the possibility of the story not coming together is part of the thrill in an existential mystery like this, but such a story should at least be coherent in its incoherence. The rather random punch that connects Martin and Houdini, for instance, seems improbable-but there is a certain pleasure in wondering whether the failure is Martin's or his creator's.
These are the questions that make the book interesting even where it fails. But it's hard not to be disappointed when the premise offered such fertile terrain for the investigation of the fragility of memory-and ultimately the human condition-in the form of a crime novel.
The Confabulist
doesn't quite live up to its philosophical pretensions or its literary form, providing deepish reflection and a crime-y plot where the pacing feels more rushed and urgent, cramming too much into the last 20 pages.
Still, there are moments, as when Martin describes memory as "a ghost of something that's been gone for a long time" that capture the wistful horror of living without memory-for the past doesn't exist and memory itself is a complex illusion.
Steven Galloway will read from The Confabulist on May 8 at Ivy Bookshop. For more information, please visit

Church Walk Surgery Tel: 01773 304700
"Couldn't get an appointment!!" During July 2019 EPCC had a total of 173 GP & 183 Nursing appointments wasted due to patients not cancelling their appointments. Please contact the surgery to cancel your appointment if you no longer need it.
If you need advice or to see a doctor when the surgery is closed please call 111. Calls are free.
We have extremely big hearted GPs, though a little wacky!!! Three of them have very kindly decided to raise money for Eastwood Memory Cafe with a totally amazing challenge. I would be really grateful if you could share this with anyone and everyone you know, so we can hopefully reach the target set.
Please see the following link:
You are allowed to have certain treatments on repeat prescription without seeing the doctor.
There are various ways to order: Note: We do not accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions
These are produced by computer and we require 2 working days' notice for your prescription to be processed. Please allow extra time for weekends and Bank Holidays.
Please note the following prescription ordering timescales:
Collections of prescriptions are from the Church Street site.
If the Pharmacy collects your prescriptions you need to allow 5 Working Days. (This does not include the weekend or bank holidays so please remember if you order on a Friday before a bank holiday your request will not be ready for collection until the following Thursday (collection Wednesday if it is a normal weekend)).
If you wish us to post back your prescriptions, please let us have a stamped addressed envelope and mention this when requesting the prescription.
Please order in time but remember:
If you have decided against taking certain drugs please let us know. The doctors would prefer to know exactly what medication you are taking to ensure treatment is efficient. It is better they know!
To order your repeat prescriptions on-line you will need to have ensured that you have been to the surgery for a user name and password as this will also allow you to book appointments on line.
You will NOT be able to order repeat prescriptions without a logon, which MUST be obtained in person from the practice.
Please be aware that the custom order link on your repeat ordering page is to notify us of medicines you have been unable to order - we cannot provide a confirmation of order or a reminder or next prescription service.
Please do not ring the practice to check we have the order (the system is linked directly to our clinical system we have your order), this not only causes delays for patients ringing to get through regarding appointments etc, but impacts on the prescriptions teams' ability to process the 100's of prescriptions we handle daily. Thank you
If you have a prescription query please Dial 4 between 11am and 3pm daily.
Patient Online Access – Keeping Your Online Records Secure Having access to your records online is a great way to get involved in looking after your health. Your records contain personal information, so it's important to keep them safe. You should take the same care with your health and social care records as you do if you use online banking. Here are some tips on how to keep your records safe:
Further information and advice about keeping your online health and social care record safe and secure is available here.
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs). The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

From Wednesday 1 March 2017, we will be limiting prescriptions of over the counter (OTC) medicines for minor ailments.
This decision was made after looking at feedback from clinicians and the findings of a six week patient engagement campaign undertaken by the South Nottinghamshire CCGs (Nottingham North and East, Nottingham West and Rushcliffe).
These plans mean that instead of receiving OTC products (such as paracetamol or ibuprofen) for short-term, self-limiting conditions (see leaflet below) on prescription, patients will be encouraged to self care and buy their own from their local pharmacy.
Rather than visiting their GP, most people can take care of themselves when they have a minor ailment through a combination of self care and OTC medicines, which can be bought in supermarkets and shops as well as in pharmacies.
Please note that:
There are lots of benefits to self care:
Expert advice to support you
Pharmacists can offer expert advice on a wide range of illnesses and you don't need to make an appointment. Your consultation will be confidential and discreet.
Save yourself time
There's no need to wait for a GP appointment - a lot of pharmacies are open late and at the weekend.
Save your GP time
Choosing to self care can free up more GP time so they can spend more time with patients with more
complex conditions.
Save the NHS money
In 2015, practices across the South Nottinghamshire area (excluding Nottingham City), spent £1,966,265 on prescribing over the counter medicines. Many of these items are low cost and available from the pharmacist, and some are even available from your local shops and supermarkets. The money spent on those prescriptions, for minor illnesses, could be spent on treating more serious conditions.

Incorporating Bragg apple cider vinegar into the diet has many advantages, including aiding digestion, promoting a healthy heart, relieving muscle pain, maintaining normal cholesterol levels and assisting in weight loss, notes Bragg. Apple cider vinegar may also increase energy levels, relieve sore throats and keep skin and hair healthy.
Apple cider vinegar can help with diabetes and blood sugar control by partially blocking the digestion of starch, according to WebMD. Because some starch is not digested, blood sugar levels don't increase as much. People can also apply apple cider vinegar to the skin to exfoliate and clear certain types of acne. After washing hair, an apple cider vinegar rinse gives hair increased bounce and shine, notes Bragg.
The Bragg vinegar diet involves consuming a Bragg healthy cocktail at least twice a day. This cocktail is made my mixing 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water. Because many natural enzymes, nutrients and minerals are eliminated during the distilling process, Bragg recommends using only raw, organic apple cider vinegar. A sweetener, such as organic honey, maple syrup, molasses or stevia, may be added if desired. Because of the acidity of apple cider vinegar, it may damage tooth enamel or harm the esophagus if it isn't diluted before drinking, explains WebMD.

Subscribe To What Oscar Isaac Thinks Of That Original X-Men: Apocalypse Image Updates
I've already subscribed
When X-Men: Apocalypse was first announced, a big question was what the titular villain would look like. The comic book character he's based on is especially hard to adapt convincingly, and many fans were left wondering if the team would opt to create an entirely CG character like the Hulk or use practical effects and makeup. Then Oscar Isaac was cast and you're not going to hide a handsome face like that in CG (plus Bryan Singer usually prefers practical makeup). But then the first image was released and fans were less than ecstatic about the costume. Why's he purple? Why's he so small? Where are his weird lip lines? Well, it turns out Oscar Isaac wasn't too thrilled with it either.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Oscar Isaac was able to shed his light on his opinion on the first image released of Apocalypse. The Star Wars: Force Awakens actor had to agree with fans that it wasn't a good representation of how the character actually looks in the film.
I was not super pleased with those first photos that ran. When you look at those things, you think that's the representation of the character, and it was a shot from when we were coming out of a portal, and the portal light is purple and so suddenly everyone thinks that the character is purple which is not the case.
Apocalypse is a character that's gone through a lot of evolution visually as the film gets closer to its release date. You can see in every trailer that there's always a little tweak, like changing his shade of blue or giving him more lip lines. Bryan Singer even said they are still toying with the sound of his voice.
Plus, let's be real for a second; Apocalypse is really ugly. He's got that appeal very specific to the decade he was created and, while that works for comics, it's tough to show in live action. I mean, look at this guy:
What a doof. It's not just the size that's the issue, it's just a design that's got a lot going on. This makes the costume nearly impossible to craft for real life. You can really only create it in CG, but as Bryan Singer says, he wanted Apocalypse to "be able to connect with the horsemen and with the movie." Live action is usually the way to go for that.
The production team may have considered making a more comic accurate version of the character, but the movie costume has really grown on me. It's probably the best we could have hoped for given that Apocalypse has a face even his mother couldn't love.
Apocalypse and a couple other blue people will be appearing X-Men: Apocalypse, which hits theater at the end of the month on May 27.

FAQ/Our Mission - Hello newcomers! Please read this before participating in Sanctum!

FAQ/Our Mission - Hello newcomers! Please read this before participating in Sanctum!
Demi freeform
What is it? Demi freeform, or restricted freeform in our definition is a shared continuity. There are little to no restrictions on who or what may join the RP setting as a whole, or what one character or group of characters can accomplish outside of their desire to do so.
Why? Through the use of Demi-Freeform RP we aim to create a large interactive setting where many story lines can converge and create something greater than the sum of their parts. By sharing a single continuity many different groups which may of never interacted with each other may now do so with real consequences to their actions.
What does "Everything adds to the canon" mean? Everything from the smallest interaction in a tavern, to a major military engagement adds to the canon of Sanctum. Opening a colony on a lone island in the sea, means you make yourself a target for other towns, states or even empires. This could be good as some people are naturally more peaceful than others. However not everyone has the rest of the groups In Character best intentions in mind. Rivalries run deep on Sanctum, and every action can echo throughout the whole of Sanctum. Anyone is capable of bringing their own lore into Sanctums. However the stakes and consequences of actions in Sanctum can be very high.
Using forum and chats interchangeably, explain encouragement to submit chat logs of rps to the forum for archival purposes even if incomplete While some players may be unable to commit to chat based RPs, due to time constraints we do not discourage the use of chatrooms. In fact the use of them can help greatly speed up a scene that may of taken a week or two to complete into a single night or two of continuous RP. What we do ask is that these logs are submitted into appropriate sections of the Sanctum forums. If there is no appropriate subforum, you can always submit them under the creative writing sub-forum. The reason for this allows people to see ongoing plot lines they might be interested in joining, but also to prevent meta-gaming. If a log is submitted and a character was not present for that event, and has no way of knowing about it, they cannot feasibly have that knowledge.
Greater canon - How does Sanctum work?
Sanctum is one big interactive, open and ongoing storyline. Everything that happens on Sanctum becomes a part of the canon. If your character dies they are simply dead— unless you have found a legitimate way (which is rare) to bring them back to life. You cannot compartmentalize in demi-freeform, meaning you cannot be alive to some and acknowledged as dead to others. However, if new to Sanctum (while still respective of outside storylines if you have interacted with other players or factions) you are free to 'restart' your character within our lore. Ex: if a player or faction dispatched you on another site and that faction or player migrates into our lore, your player is still dead. They would be free to complain to the Arbitrator about the complication.
We do not allow closed settings! You cannot bring an RP to Sanctum that is separate from the universal lore. This does not mean you cannot have private rps by any means, but if it has nothing to do with the greater lore there are plenty of other sites to host your roleplay. We recommend The Keep.
Not all factions and players will survive. No player or faction is required to tiptoe around your skill or power level. The stakes and risks are high on Sanctum. There are weak factions and strong ones, regular humans and beings with god-like power. So long as all characters are balanced and no one is being intentionally disruptive via tavern burning and the like— it is allowed. Sanctum is not a place where "But I've had this character for 10 years or "I've waited long enough" and "They can't die" will fly. You cannot retcon a death or a wipe out and it is extremely bad form to bail on a storyline because you've discovered you are outclassed and losing is inevitable. Remember: its a game! You win some, you lose some the smallest back alley scrap or assault to the largest world shaking intergalactic war.
Is this a Sandbox rp? Not necessarily. There is no GM, obviously and rather than the world being fully established, we encourage players to claim a part of the map, establish a town or empire or simply set up camp. We are not the GMs, you are. Worldbuilding on Sanctum is a collective effort. But, understand— there are hostile factions and empires who may be inspired to seize what you have established through violent means or even a peaceful attempt at alliance or annexation.
What you do in X might have consequences in Y. Save for private forums awarded to each major faction with enough players and activity to warrant a subsection and usergroup all activity on Sanctum is out in the open for all players to peruse at will. Outside of blatant metagaming, something happening in your neck of the woods could have consequences in another depending on the event. For example: A brawl or attack on a ship in the Vaasten ocean may belong to another empire, thus, making those who attacked appear on a wanted list. And, suddenly, you have head hunters after you or appearing in a certain territory has you marked as arrest or kill on site. We encourage this kind of risk and depth in rp.
How to join a pre-established faction or nation Almost all factions, groups, empires and hoards welcome new players. You can try to hop in IC [In character] and do it through storyline, or, you can contact the heads of the group and ask to ease in or make a new character to join up. Most often, empires are looking for additions within their lore and are always in need of someone to cook up a new character and throw their lot in. Major factions will have color coded usernames assigned to each character (example, Celesin is slate blue, Black Sun is gold, Dorian is red) and clicking on the legend at the bottom of the forum provides information for each group. A private message to the group moderator is usually sufficient enough to begin a dialogue.
How to start a faction or empire/kingdom You can bring a faction along in any fashion. You'll have to choose a meeting place, encampment within the neutral or contested territories or your faction will need to have their lore tied in with one of the major empires in order to operate within them (and you will need to contact their group moderator). For empires, we encourage the creation only if you have more than three active members in your group to run it. If you can show us that your empire/kingdom is active and balanced you may contact the Conservator handle to have a group and a subforum made. You will need to submit small detailed descriptions for each section (three to start with) and choose a handle to be your group moderator. You are free to use the Wanted! Recruitment Station forum to look for willing volunteers.
To be native to Sanctum, or not? Either is fine. However, for a group native to Sanctum we will be providing a small wiki article on the planet so one can be prepared to integrate properly. Those not native to sanctum are free to bring lore with them that doesn't effect the creation myth of our specific universe. Canon characters from fiction are welcome as well— you simply cannot bring the universe with them. Sanctum encompasses both the world as its namesake as well as the pocket universe/nexxus it is contained within (along with some worlds far away which are invested in the storyline). How your character, faction, group etc got to Sanctum is up to you. Get creative. Contact the Conservator to have your location added to the map. What spot you choose does matter! Certain areas can be within empires or on the menu to be claimed. Consider your location carefully.
So you want to add a town or tavern? A post in Wanted! Will suffice along with a private message to the Conservator to establish a location on the map. If your town is open and active for more than two weeks within the Neutral Territories we will assign a subforum to you and move it to Contested Territories. We encourage and welcome new locations! Towns, villas, pubs and encampments must be open. Larger factions and empires once established will be awarded a private subforum that only members of their group, if formed, can see. Offworld settings must have some lore tied in with Sanctum or major empires and factions. One cannot simply make a neighboring homeworld that has little to do with the greater canon. Sanctum must be the fulcrum. Otherwise, its basically just a closed rp. Also, just because you make it doesn't mean it will survive and thrive! Anything can happen.
Who is the Arbitrator? An anonymous seven member panel of Sanctum users from various chats and forums chosen for a lack of bias, dutiful dedication to the site, combat skill, investment level and ethics. No one except the Arbitration panel knows who the makes up the names behind the Arbitrator. The panel's primary function is to act as a fair and unbiased judge for combat if needed and also the Sanctum Gladiator Games. The Arbitrator can even be summoned for lesser fights or points of contention outside of the combat forum if a second opinion is needed in a violent situation (we take munching and godmoding seriously site-wide. Please do not hesitate to involve the Arbitrator if needed no matter how small the issue).

She jerks and laughs at Jack, he was so embarrassed he had known her for a long time...read more

An investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the story is hunting them.
The Tunnel is Australia's first entirely crowdfunded movie, made by selling each of the 135,000 frames of the film for $1 each at www.thetunnelmovie.net. In a controversial move, the film was released for free online AT THE SAME TIME as traditional methods of release like cinema, TV, DVD and iTunes. The multiple award-winning film was also the first Australian film ever released via an iPad app, and managed to rack up over 20 million views and downloads around the globe.

|Challenging students can benefit greatly from the patience
and understanding of a Montessori teacher
Afterward, I reported my tale to my mentor and she said, "Yes, you need to watch everything you do or say. He reports it to his mother, one of the pre-k teachers." She did her best to reassure me it would all be just fine.
True to his word, "David" carried that clipboard everywhere he went. He made notes if he thought my voice was too loud, if my work was too much, or if he felt slighted in any way. To my dismay, David would shout out in the middle of a lesson that he thought I had broken one of his many rules. He would then slip out of class on the pretense of going to the restroom and report me or my assistant to his mother. Or, if he thought something needed immediate attention, he would pick up the class phone and call her classroom. Unfortunately, David's mother did little to redirect David's behavior as she did not seem to understand why we felt it was not appropriate. As a result, I met countless times with my mentor, the directors of the Montessori school, and David's mother due to the "reports" he made. It got to the point where my assistant and I were afraid to even open our mouths around this boy. Worse yet, it was having a terribly negative effect on our classroom environment.
Challenging Montessori Students - Working on Redirecting BehaviorFinally, working with my mentor, we came up with a plan. First, we made the rule that David could not leave the classroom without telling us and he was not to go to his mother's classroom unattended. We clearly explained that this was for his safety. Second, we requested that David's mother only come to our classroom if she arranged an appointment ahead of time. Third, any time David felt our behavior was inappropriate, he was to write it down and save it until an appropriate time to talk to us – not during a lesson.
We also made David our Grace and Courtesy monitor. Since David enjoyed the organization, order, and feeling of leadership he gained from carrying his clipboard, we encouraged him to keep it but to use it in a new capacity. No longer was he on the lookout for policy infringement. Instead, we asked that he keep track of all the positive behaviors he observed from both teachers and peers. He was to look for the little things that went unnoticed. Then, during our bi-weekly class meetings, David was to give his positive behavior report. This helped him start looking for the good in people and situations.
I would like to say that our problem was solved overnight, but as is usually the case with behavior modification, it took time. We had good days and we had serious lapses. However, it did get better as the year progressed and the following year was even better. As with most challenging students, helping David required a well thought out plan, time, and lots of patience!

BOAT - Topps
Well, I said I'd post about them at some point, and with the arrival of a new EP, the day has arrived. BOAT's new song, "Topps," combines the worlds of baseball and indie pop as a select few have done before. If you've never heard BOAT before, their sound is both catchy and jumpy, and features a vocal style that evolves depending on what is called for by the backing music (Good examples of other songs to check out include "Elephant Ears" and "I'm a Donkey for Your Love," both on the band's myspace). Anyway, new track for your loving:

Chidambaram begins work as home minister
Sheela Bhatt in New Delhi | November 30, 2008 13:14 IST
Last Updated: November 30, 2008 17:13 IST
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] will hold additional charge as finance minister.
Chidambaram replaces Shivraj Patil [Images], who resigned on Sunday, owning up responsibility for the Mumbai terror attacks.
Congress sources said Chidambaram is a man who can plan strategy and execute it in time of crisis. A Congress source told rediff.com,"We understand that India has the sympathy of the people and governments all over world."
Chidambaram was minister of state for internal security in the Rajiv Gandhi government, at the height of the Punjab crisis.
Dr Singh was finance minister in the P V Narasimha Rao government.
PTI adds: Indications that Chidambaram would be given the new responsibility came when he was called as a special invitee to the Congress Working Committee on Saturday night. He met the prime minister on Sunday morning to discuss the situation arising out of the Mumbai terror attacks.
After recommending Patil's resignation to President Pratibha Patil [Images], who is away in Indonesia, Dr Singh spoke to Chidambaram formally conveying the decision to give him the new assignment.
Shortly after his appointment, Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta briefed him on the ministry, especially in the current context of tackling the menace of terrorism.
Chidambaram started his ministerial career as a deputy minister of personnel and training in 1985 and was promoted as minister of state within a quick time.
He was the minister of state for commerce with independent charge in the Narasimha Rao government.
He later held the finance portfolio in the United Front governments headed by H D Deve Gowda and I K Gujral -- he left the Congress briefly to join the Tamil Maanila Congress -- a ministry he got again when the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance came to power in 2004.
