#Indicates door-to-door tenure between issuance date and legal final maturity date. Actual tenure will depend on level of prepayment in pool, exercise of clean-up call option, and extent of shortfall.
^Additionally, scheduled excess interest spread, amounting to around Rs.439.9 million (assuming zero prepayments), provides credit support to PTCs.
* Includes a second loss facility of Rs.345.7 million.
@A prefix of 'provisional' indicates that the rating centrally factors in the strength of specific structures, and will be supported by certain critical documentation by the issuer, without which the rating will either have been different or not assigned ab initio. This is in compliance with a May 6, 2015, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) directive, "Standardising the term, rating symbol, and manner of disclosure with regard to conditional/ provisional/in-principle ratings assigned by CRAs".
CRISIL has assigned its 'Provisional CRISIL AAA (SO)' rating to the pass-through certificates (PTCs) and credit opinion of 'Provisional CRISIL BBB (SO) Equivalent' to the second loss facility issued by Sansar Trust December 2015 II. The pool is backed by commercial vehicle (CV), tractors, construction equipment, and passenger vehicle loan receivables originated by Shriram Transport Finance Company Ltd (STFCL; rated 'CRISIL AA+/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'). The rating on PTCs is based on the credit quality of pool cash flows, STFCL's origination and servicing capabilities, transaction's credit enhancement and payment mechanism, and soundness of the transaction's legal structure.
The transaction has a 'par' structure. STFCL will assign the pool to Sansar Trust December 2015 II, settled by IDBI Trusteeship Services Ltd, which will issue PTCs to investors. The PTCs receive support from the stipulated cash collateral and excess interest spread.
About the Pool
The pool mainly consists of used CV and used tractor loans, which have a robust seasoning profile (weighted average net seasoning of 10.3 months). The pool is geographically diverse, with the top three states accounting for 37.1 percent of the principal. Moreover, 97.6 percent of the principal is from contracts that are current on payments as on the pool cut-off date, with a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 66.6 percent and ticket size of Rs.0.27 million.
This is a 'provisional' rating and will be converted into a 'final' rating based on receipt of the following documents:
Additional documents, if any, executed for a transaction should also be provided. A rating rationale/report indicating the conversion of the 'provisional' rating to 'final' post the receipt of all the required final legal documents will be published on the CRISIL website. Please click on the link below for detailed information on CRISIL's policy on provisional rating: Revision in CRISIL policy for assigning 'provisional' rating.
Rated Pools
CRISIL has outstanding credit opinions/ratings on 6 transactions originated by STFCL. Performance of all the pools is in line with CRISIL's expectations.

How to Plan a Craft Space
In the last season on Elevenses with MZ we went over some changes I did in my craft area. I showed you my old layout and how I covered an old cabinet with some wrapping paper. Well, the season break gave me time to think and I built upon that plan and expanded it a bit. Throughout this season I will share craft space DIYs with you. I'm going to show you two cabinet makeovers, curtains, cushions, chairs, a TV cabinet, a desk and more!
I'll start the series with a video on planning and gathering inspiration for your space. Any decor project starts with a floor plan layout for me. I make sure things are where I need them to be and that everything will fit. So measurements are very important.
Next I start moving around my furniture and make sure the plan actually works. Then comes the fun part! Looking for inspiration and then starting work on the DIYs!
This episode goes over the whole planning phase and my inspiration and the materials I'm going to use. From paper to fabric and trim, paint and even stickers.
My inspiration came from the Mackenzie Childs website. In particular these are the pieces I liked.
So with this as my inspiration I started looking for fabric and trims I could use. I chose some paint colors and printed out some checked paper and butterflies.
You can see the whole process in the video below!
Do let me know what you think by leaving a comment and stay tuned for more DIYs.

What Our Past Clients

This is the finest resume I've ever had, and I'd like to thank you for your hard work and patience. There is a crystal-clear difference between a duties type of resume and accomplishments. This resume is so very powerful and tells a fantastic story.
"…a highly talented resume writer and career coach…"
Janice is a highly talented resume writer and career coach….a great listener and able to understand my unique career history and where I would like to go in the future. She did a great job at emphasizing my strengths and skills on my resume. I would highly recommend Janice and her company to anyone seeking to take their job search to the next level.
"Exceptional wordsmith……a life changing process…."
Exceptional Wordsmith is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Pro Resume Center. Their process and experience proved to be a true asset in getting the best information out of me to better tell my story and summarize my unique background. Speaking with my professional writer and coach was so easy, I didn't even notice we were working on what would become a life changing process. I would recommend PRC to anybody looking to push their resume or career to the next stage.
"…delivered results that went far beyond expectations."
PRC worked with me to refine and refresh my professional branding materials. My writer was a great coach, asking on-point questions and crafting excellent suggestions while inviting feedback. She and the support team provided outstanding leadership through the process and delivered results that went far beyond expectations. Without reservations I would recommend PRC for their expertise in this field and premium customer service.
"…far more interviews after working with them. It works!"
When you need help or improvement for your CV, resume and even LinkedIn content, definitely contact PRC. The owners, writers and coaches are authentic, highly knowledgeable and client-focused. They significantly revised all of my application documents and coached me on outreach and networking in the pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical industries. I got far more interviews after working with them. It works!
"…was able to secure the interview and land the job I really wanted."
PRC writers are absolute experts in their industry, very knowledgeable and responsive in delivering outstanding client services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you also help me with my long-term career development and planning, interview preparation, or other areas?
Yes, absolutely! We offer a robust assortment of coaching options – which you can see HERE. Or you may also call us directly, to discuss how we can provide a much more all-encompassing experience: 1-800-603-6623
In one word? Everything!
We rewrite the top summary section to better tell your unique story, your job descriptions, we fully set up keyword selection and optimization, update your skills, set up new banner and profile photos – as well as ensure your profile is set for ideal visibility. This is all done with your network notifications turned "OFF" – so no one will know, unless/until you are ready to push your new profile out to the public.
Don't hesitate to call us with any questions you have: 1-800-603-6623
Do you offer a resume review/critique service – so I can receive your advice, and make my own changes?
We no longer offer resume critique services.
We firmly believe in only setting up our clients for success – as such, we only sell packages that we believe will produce results. The resume, cover letter & LinkedIn profile packages are our "starting point" with all clients – and we do not sell lower packages. If you have a very unique and specific situation, you may always call to determine custom pricing for your specific situation: 1-800-603-6623

We firmly believe that the idea of a "job placement" guarantee – is a marketing gimmick. Look close, read the terms – you are required to provide PROOF of 30-80 applications EVERY month – along with other hurdles to scale to prove you've followed their guarantee terms.
Instead – this is our guarantee – If you strictly follow the process we will bring you through in writing your new materials, and how to properly execute a job search – you will have far greater success that you will ever achieve with the "old school methods" still being preached by others.
Read our recommendations – they are unsolicited and demonstrate the premium level of service you will receive.
Get Noticed. Get the Call. Get the Job.
Our custom approach includes personal consultations to help you take a new strategic view of your job history and accomplishments, and together we will elevate your resume, linkedin profile, cover letter and other job search materials to new heights.

I did a quick calculation and the percentage of time we spent in our pajamas over Christmas Break falls somewhere in the 70-80 range.
After months of more-than-is-probably-healthy change and all of the accompanying stress, we were all running on fumes. We half-heartedly tossed around ideas for Christmas Break activities but finally admitted the truth: what we really wanted to do was nothing.
We called it our Rebuilding Week. We slept late, went to bed early, and took naps in between. We watched Star Wars and animated movies and avoided the news. We took walks outside but didn't work out even once or do any therapy. We cooked as little as possible and didn't put much thought into our food choices. There was a lot of puttering, even more reading, and therapeutic doses of cuddling.
As the week went on, Collin slowly started sleeping less and smiling more. He showed interest in more books and toys. He seemed more himself. I felt less irritable and grouchy. Less fragile. I was more present and less anxious. More myself. It had worked; we had rebuilt.
And when Monday morning came, I didn't dread it. Collin got up before his 'alarm' and laughed and kicked the whole way to school. I took on the return of routine with energy and even some excitement. It was one of the most refreshing starts to a new year I can remember.
How about you? Do you need to do some rebuilding?

The French use the slang "cool," almost the same as Americans.
Slang, jargon, and acronyms, cannot be avoided when learning French, what you learn in French class is 90 percent different than reality. One learns that learning just standard French will take a lifetime, and slang words are for the most part annoying.
Text messaging French speakers with cell phones is interesting:
Bonjour is Bjr
Salut is Slt
However, I was happy to discover,
"Cool is cool," the Francophone community seems to use the word "cool," almost the same as English speakers.
Cool means: awesome, or great here in Kara,Togo West Africa.
And, how do you say "Weekend," in French?
And, how do they goodbye, most to the time?
"Bye bye."
Franglais = French and Anglais (Anglais is French for English.)
I was told the girl was,
"Pas clair."
More or less she is a dizzy girl...

I love the smattering of English words that appear in a lot of Continental European languages. My personal favourite in French - Le top de la top (ie the best haha.)
A girl here said to me, Super cool. You are so correct.

Princess Rose
Words cannot express my gratitude for Anna. I came to them with a simple idea and she worked her magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN!
Anna is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made use feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want this is a planner!! Anna is like a design genius! It's like she was reading my mind!! I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment... More...

We hire Island Premiere Planners to do a portion of the planning for my little cousin's Christening. They helped us find a venue for the reception, their team decorated the place and it was really impressive. , surprisingly that they also have DJ and other baby stuff for our gift favors, saved us time coz we don't have to worry about doing it ourselves.A Budget friendly company. More...
David and Anna are amazing at what they do. Anna always has the right amounts of proffessionalism and friendliness. Her decorating skills are always above expectation. David is a master with keeping your music and lighting on target. This Christain couple are a perfect addition to an even, big or small. Anna is brilliant with organizing everything ,start to finish. And David takes beautiful photos. More...
Excellent job,very good in every planning,nice decoration ,every thing I dream of.
Very Reliable Company! I didn't think I am able to pull our wedding through. I engaged my wife back then in May 2016 and her parents wants us to get married the following month. Good thing my friend referred Mr. David a DJ and they immediately with his wedding planners- in just one click gave us our options because we only have 3 weeks. They were able to help us find vendors that will take short notice like ours—all of that done in one week and the week of the wedding we were just feeling excited and laughing about how quick we did it! It won't happen without Island Premiere Planner's & DJ's expertise. So because we owe the beauty of it to them no matter how many times they ask us for review. More...
It was a wonderful experienced! I was so overwhelmed with how Island Premiere Planners helped me from day 1. I had a planner and a coordinator and I'm glad I decided to take their services; it was so much easier for me and my husband. It was an Asian wedding and David and his staff were all very friendly and didn't stress me at all during the process. They listened to the every bit of detail and made it all happen, they check on me and make sure we were on track, I mean who does that. I really felt we were in good hands the first time we talked to them. All worth our time and money. They Aced it!

I absolute love people watching - especially at a festival. I think it's pretty safe to say that if you want to idly spend your time observing the diversity that occurs within humanity, a festival is the perfect place to do so. I recently got back from Rainbow Serpent Festival, (Yes, another festival!) and I spent quite a large portion of my time doing exactly that.
I'm hardly the most fashion conscious being in the world (I'm in fact probably in the running for the least clued up,) but I'm absolutely fascinated by festival attire. I honestly love seeing other people's creativity and ideas, and it's amazing how much time people obviously spend on costumes, signs and body art. In my opinion, the world is a much better place when there's glitter involved too.
As well as all the colours and face paint, headbands and sequins, there's actually something really special about watching people enjoy themselves - especially when it involves music. I thrive off seeing people's faces light up when they hear the first notes of their favourite tune kick in, or two friends grin at each other before embracing or pulling off some questionable dance moves. It's the best feeling when the DJ drops a tune that creates an energy in the crowd, and I can't help but look around and just take in everybody having a good time.
For a couple of years now, one of my favourite words has been 'sondering,' I thought about it a lot this weekend. It means 'the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own - populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness.' I smiled at a lady with a shaved head when she caught my eye from across the dancefloor, she walked over and gave me a huge hug before smiling back and walking off to disappear in the crowd, and I couldn't stop thinking about it after. Isn't it mad, that for a split second, you can share a small moment of intimacy with someone, brush their arm as you pass them in the street or even just make eye contact for a quarter of a second, and that's it. They're a flicker in your life, they appear for such a small portion of it, and for the most part they're completely irrelevant to you and you won't ever give them a second thought. Yet they have an entire life themselves. I'll probably never see that woman again in my lifetime. Or the man who turned to me on the brink of a particularly big drop in a song, grinned and proclaimed that 'it's time to celebrate,'
I guess when you're travelling, you get to cross paths with a more diverse selection of people than you would normally. I suppose I'm going to spend a lot more time than usual 'sondering.'

Scratch Coding Class for Kids | Epping North PS
August 5, 2018 @ 3:15 pm - September 23, 2018 @ 4:15 pm| $280.00
Scratch Coding Classes for Kids: Learn to Code | Ages 7 – 10+ | Sunday Afternoon: 315pm – 415pm | Epping North PS
At Epping North Public School, we run Scratch Coding Workshops for Kids, great for Beginners to Advanced Scratch coders, to learn computer concepts and code games to play, and not just play them!
There will be an array of different Scratch projects to create, from the basics to more advanced Scratch coding.
Your kids can choose the different Scratch projects to tackle and explore, and all of the Scratch projects' lesson plans will be available to support their creativity and exploration.
Importance of Coding / Programming
Computer programming or coding is a crucial skill every child should be learning.
We use computers to solve problems, play games, help us to work more effectively, perform repetitive tasks, store and recall information, create something new, and connect with our friends and the world.
Understanding how to code is empowering!
Everyone can learn to code – it's just like solving a puzzle or a riddle.
Learn to code like a real programmer using text-based language!
"My son just loves it!. These are a wonderful set of coding courses for kids. The children are challenged, learn the fundamentals of coding different platforms, come hom bubbling and wanting to do more away from class. The key part of any review is would he go again? Well, he's on his third course. Say no more!' – John, Parent
"Hi Jenny, Zimo loves the computer class and will definitely continue next term." – Yu, Parent
"Thanks Jenny. Anna has looooved her course!" – Tanya, Parent
Why kids should learn to code
Coding is fun!
Technology is becoming a part of everyday life. Every company, organisation and cause can benefit from technology. There are apps to help you buy, give, join, play, volunteer, connect, share – just about anything you can imagine.
Instead of just playing games, get kids to make their own game. They can create their own phone app!
With coding, you can bring to an idea to life by programming it on a computer.
Every program, game, system or app you know was coded using the same programming building blocks like Python which you'll learn.
When you program, you are taking an active role in technology – you're not just having fun, you're making something fun!
Coding is a Valuable Job Skill
Coding is the skill of the 21st century. Jobs today require more problem-solving ability than ever before, and more and more careers involve technology as an integral requirement.
People who can program – and thus solve problems quickly and effectively – are highly valued in today's world, and they get to do interesting, fulfilling work.
If you can code, you can solve problems.
Problem solvers have the power to make the world a better place!
Oh, the cool Scratch coding games & concepts you'll learn!

Presidents Pledge To Fight Drugs
%mlink(STRY:; PHOTO:SDO101-031001; AUDIO:%)
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) _ The presidents of Venezuela and the Dominican Republic pledged Saturday to combat drug trafficking and to fight government corruption in Latin America.
President Hugo Chavez also used the three-day official visit to defend his leftist government _ which some have criticized as autocratic _ saying democracy has ``never existed″ in Venezuela.
The visit comes as Chavez has tried to consolidate Venezuela's leadership in the region. Dominican President Hipolito Mejia's populist center-left government could be one ally in Chavez's quest to unite Latin America to counterbalance U.S. influence.
Chavez and Mejia committed to sharing information on drug traffickers and the ``scourge of drugs″ in the region, and also said they would lead a public crusade to help other Latin American countries detect and eradicate corruption.
``Corruption destroys the moral order and justice, and undermines the legitimacy of our democratic institutions,″ the presidents said in a joint statement issued Saturday.
Chavez's detractors have criticized his alliance with Cuban President Fidel Castro's communist government, and have said the Venezuelan president usurped legal and legislative power in Caracas.
``I couldn't threaten democracy, because you can't threaten something that never existed,″ Chavez said in an address Friday at the National Assembly in Santo Domingo.
He said past Venezuelan leaders feigned democratic stances while using their posts to funnel off the country's oil wealth.
A former paratrooper who led a failed coup in 1992, Chavez rode a wave of discontent to the presidency in 1998, promising to reverse decades of corruption and economic mismanagement.
He has since radically reformed Venezuela, rewriting the constitution and replacing the opposition-controlled Congress and Supreme Court through a series of elections and referendums.
Chavez has used Venezuela's oil wealth to build his diplomatic stature. He signed a pact last year to provide oil to 12 Latin American and Caribbean countries _ including the Dominican Republic _ under favorable financial conditions.

M WOODS is an independent, not-for-profit art museum founded in 2014 by collectors Lin Han and Wanwan Lei, and co-founded by Michael Xufu Huang. Housed in a former munitions factory in Beijing's 798 Art District, M WOODS opened to the public with a permanent collection based on the founders' private collection of international art.
To be 'new' is of no intrinsic value for M WOODS; an alternative set of guiding principles organizes the collection, which stretches beyond narrow notions of art history to enfold positions as diverse as those of Olafur Eliasson and Buddhist sculptors from the Northern Qi dynasty, or Paul McCarthy and the followers of Hieronymus Bosch.
In describing the wide focus of the museum, M WOODS has espoused a core of three fantastically huge beliefs, namely that art should be Free, Alchemical, and Timeless (FAT).
"FAT Art" encapsulates the expanded narrative the museum seeks in its program and collection, and has come to represent the ambition to remove delineations of time, geography and medium and to focus on a universal quality across all art forms.
Alongside the exhibitions, the museum runs an education program manifest in talks, events, film screenings, and art activities for all levels of engagement. In 2015, M WOODS received official not-for-profit status in acknowledgement of its cultural services to the public.

Gwyn and Brian start this week's podcast talking about the mining bill. Gwyn highlights the amendments and the plans for passage in the Senate. Northern WI legislators say this could be a huge jobs opportunity.
Rep. Macco announced committee changes in the Assembly Ways and Means Cmte. New subcommittees coming and a "deep dive" into taxation in Wisconsin.
From Wed, Nov. 1 Wheeler Report:
Rep. John Macco has announced that the Assembly Ways and Means Committee is creating four subcommittees. Those subcommittees will include:
Personal and Corporate Taxes – Chaired by Rep. Kulp
Local Taxation and State Support – Chaired by Rep. Steffen
Sales and Use Tax – Chaired by Rep. Peterson
Excise Taxes and Fees – Chaired by Rep. Zimmerman
Each subcommittee will have three members, two Republicans and one Democrat. The subcommittees will have the same rules for committee notices and open records, but the committee will report to the chair of the Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Macco. Speaker Vos has appointed the following new members to the committee: Reps. Hutton, Kulp, Zimmerman and Spreitzer.
In an interview with The Wheeler Report, Rep. Macco said he has been looking at taxes in Wisconsin for over three years. First as a freshman legislature when he talked with Rep. Paul Ryan who was on the budget committee on Congress, then as vice-chair of Ways and Means, and now as chair of Ways and Means. Macco emphasized that the committee purpose does not change. Macco said expenditures are the responsibility of the Joint Finance Committee, but said Wisconsin needs to visit its tax structure and the Ways and Means Committee is the place to determine the correct way to determine the appropriate amount and the best form of revenue for the state. Macco discussed the vulnerabilities of the state's current tax structure saying that during times of recession and expansion the state is subject to big swings, but by bringing Wisconsin's tax code into the 21st Century the Ways and Means Committee has the opportunity to provide options for more consistent revenue.
Congress is currently looking at a tax reform package and Macco said if Wisconsin doesn't review and update its tax structure, Wisconsin citizens could be big losers and end up paying more than citizens in other states. Macco was quick to say that the biggest obstacle moving forward will be special interest lobbyists, saying he expects that within days of the committees starting action every lobbyist that has a special exemption or credit will be lobbying to make sure they stay. Macco said Wisconsin's tax structure has been driven by special interests in the past and that's why the structure is so difficult to change. Macco wants everything to be on the table, saying if everything is considered and everyone pays their portion everyone has to pay less.
Macco said he has spoken with Gov. Walker's office about the committee structure changes and his goals to reform the tax structure because he doesn't want it to be an adversarial issue with the Governor. Macco said he has had discussions with Senate Majority Leader Fitzgerald and a few other senators.
Macco closed the interview by saying Wisconsin needs to have the courage to understand and reform the tax process in Wisconsin. Macco emphasized that he wanted the process to be comprehensive, saying it would take time and work, but said it needs to be done.
Finally, Gwyn and Brian talk about the changes to the WEDC board and the final approval expected this week to the Foxconn contract.

Pushing Through The Pavement (Remixes) by The Polish Ambassador & Various Artists
The Polish AmbassadoreO & Kyrstyn Pixton's " Let The Rhythm" takes the song to a bit of a faster tempo with some tropical beats added that accompany the horn sound in the original track. They exaggerate some sections of the song, as the occasional housey sounds are thrown in with some deeper glitches. Scott Nice's "Koyelia" has exotic and passionate female vocals. Nice threw in tribal sounding drum beats that coalesce as the track flows in and out, as well as a bit of scratching.
saQi played a large part in the original album, as The Polish Ambassador did in saQi's latest album, The Well. He is an integral part of the Jumpsuit Records crew, providing wisdom, world beats, and lots of sexy trumpet. In this remix of "Gathering Of The Tribes," he threw in marching band drums, hyphy synths, and African percussion to give the track a more textured sound.
RoboCLIP's rendition of "Sonido del Sol" slows down to make it a bit dirty. Intricate clicks, beats, and melodies take the listener through the story that is this piece, while the horn sounds tickle the eardrums. Mr. Rogers' take on "Let The Rhythm" features robust sounds that slide the listener into this trippy remix filled with chimes and robotic noises; a palatable soundscape.
Ryan Herr's "Sri Gurvastakam" exudes a worldly vibe, providing a gateway into an exotic and beat-laden universe. String sounds and smooth, mellow melodies provide accents to this trip. In Dimond Saints' "Ritual Revival," the beautiful opening sounds of chimes segue pristinely into a funky and flavorful beat. The duo blew it out of the water and the fullness of their sound blasts your speakers perfectly.
An added bonus to enjoyable remix albums like this is a selection of artists to explore. The remixers were handpicked from a selection of esteemed musicians. If you are like us and constantly on the prowl for new artists and material you haven't heard before, this is a great place to dig in and explore.
The original album brought in the musical talents of Ayla Nereo and Mr. Lif for most of the selections. The tour "Pushing Through The Pavement: A Permaculture Action Tour" left a legendary footprint in music community. Leveraging the sheer number of loving individuals who attend his shows, the Polish Ambassador hosted Action Days at each stop along the tour.
The events brought fans, promoters, community members, and TPA's crew together to build meaningful ties in the area. From building community gardens to educational workshops, drought tolerant landscapes that can produce a yield, the days brought large numbers of people to make positive impact on their world. This movement not only promotes positive impact amongst this culture, but proves sceptics/critics of live music (especially electronic) wrong. It is not a counterculture of waste and excess, but can be a positive force that can make a real difference if we come together.
…and remember to limber up the glutes.

Steven Utley writes about his Detractors
Editor's note: Bewildering Stories interviewed Steven Utley in issue 101 and issue 102. Mr. Utley's letter on "Fame and Fortune" also appeared in issue 101.
My Detractors
by Steven Utley
After Bewildering Stories' "two-man editorial triumvirate" had interviewed me and published the resulting blatherfest, a reader wrote in to say: "I enjoyed the interview of Utley a good deal. He's pretty funny, nowhere near as stuffy as some of his detractors on other boards thought."
I take this — not that I am "pretty funny" rather than "stuffy," but that I actually have detractors — as a certain sign that the prize, Fame, which I have so long pursued is at last almost within reach. Once a writer acquires a brace of detractors, he is no longer a mere scrivener, even if he should go on merely scrivening; he is one of literature's lightning rods, An Author.
Anybody capable of getting published can find someone who dislikes his or her work; dislike is passive and expressible through the simple expedient of avoidance. To have detractors, though, is to have aroused sufficient antipathy in people for them to take a more active course. Detractors will cross the street to make sure the object of their fury does not skip blithely through the day imagining himself to be admired, even loved, by all whose lives he has touched. Detractors will vent their spleens in letters to newspaper editors and telephone calls to talk-radio shows. Detractors will go to the trouble of writing and printing maledictory tracts and handing them out on street corners. Detractors will send down denunciations from the pulpit.
Just the thought of it warms the cockles of my heart.
And, please note, the reader who liked the interview said that only "some" of my detractors find me stuffy. If that is indeed the case (and probably it is, given this reader's obvious perspicacity), I stand to be entertained in times to come by the spectacle of disputes between those who say I'm stuffy and those who abhor me for other reasons.
My cup is just about full; I have just about Arrived!

Clustersun are an Italian four piece that sound anything but. It's testament to the band, and vocalist Marco Chisari in particular, that their English delivery is convincing enough to assume they are indeed from our small island. The question being is this to the detriment of their Italian heritage?
Happily, the answer is no. Surfacing To Breath, their second album, is well executed and for the most part quite satisfying. They're difficult to sum up in one easily digested genre: too sublime for psych, not dense enough to be all-out shoegaze, and a little too edgy to be considered dream pop. They tend to nitpick from all of these reference points, often in the space of one song.
The best songs on offer here bookend the album. Lead track "Raw Nerve" is as self assured and confident an opening statement that your likely to hear. Employing all their strengths from the get-go reaps dividends, the widescreen production really enhances the vibrancy, giving every instrument room to breathe. The vocals sit brilliantly in the mix, Marco possesses one of those voices that's pleasing on the ear, sweet enough to offset the jarring guitar and synth storm around him. At the other end of the album is "Event Horizon", which lies in complete contrast to "Raw Nerve". Taking its musical cues from Faith-era Cure with a pinch of late Joy Division, Marco cleverly weaves a more modern melody around the gloomy backdrop to create something which is oddly uplifting.
In between these two stellar tracks lies a curious conundrum, mostly to do with the pacing. "Antagonize Me" is a pleasing garage influenced synth driven tune (who thought there could be such a thing?), which frequently elevates from its primitive stomp into sky reaching peaks. Very cool. "Lonely Moon" follows in similar fashion, but then next track "The Whirling Dervish" is a real oddity. The intro could have been lifted from any of the many lengthy tracks from a recent Maiden album, but what follows is a very clumsy keyboard driven epic that feels incredibly out of place here. Piergiorgio Campione's keyboard flourishes take centre stage and give everything a very Asia (the band, not the continent) feel, which given the post punk influence elsewhere is just bizarre.
Similarly awkward is the instrumental "Don't Let the Weight of Your Soul Drag You Down". It's not a bad track, it's merely sitting in the wrong place. By the time this track ends you're wondering if you're still listening to the same album, if not the same band. The title track is next, and if you're patient enough to sit through the intro (another red herring) you soon get thrown back into the familiar territory of the opening two songs. Atmospheric, Doors-y keyboards and on occasion furious guitar scrapes meet the demands of drummer Andrea Conti's pounding template, resulting in a song that's pretty compelling. Although not far off "The Whirling Dervish" in terms of length, it feels like less than half of that. Penultimate track "Emotional Painkiller" again reaffirms their initial intent; a stadium sized chorus neatly offsetting the woozy guitars and punchy bass line. Neat.
As enjoyable as it is ever so slightly perplexing, Surfacing To Breath isn't the best album you'll hear this year, but you could do a hell of a lot worse. There could even be a hit or two here. With this being only their second release you have to admire their singular vision, I just hope they iron out their more whimsical tendencies for the next round.
Surfacing To Breath is out now

If you have a New York driver's license, you have probably heard of having "points" if you are convicted of traffic offenses. But what exactly are points? How are they calculated? What are the penalties for accumulating too many of them? This post addresses these questions.
What are points?
"Points" refers to the system for how New York identifies and, where appropriate, penalizes drivers who have shown a propensity for behaviors that are considered higher-risk.
How are points calculated?
The Department of Motor Vehicles maintains a schedule showing the different kinds of traffic offenses that can result in having points added to your driving record. Some offenses earn points on a sliding scale: for example, depending on how fast you were going over the speed limit, you may receive anywhere from 3 to 11 points for a single violation.
The DMV website lists 20 kinds of traffic violations that can result in points. Some of them are specific, like four points for following too closely or three points for a railroad crossing violation. Others are broad, like two points for "other moving violations."
You receive points upon conviction of the traffic violation, but the effective date of the points relates back to the date of the offense itself.
Your tally of points is totaled on a rolling 18-month period. Points no longer count against you 18 months after they became effective. But they can still affect you: when calculating your premiums, insurance companies may still use points against you as long as the conviction remains on your record.
What are the penalties for too many points?
Once you accumulate six points, you will have to pay a "Driver Responsibility Assessment." This fee starts out at $100 per year, but can become more if you add more points beyond six or if your traffic violations include something like a drunk driving conviction. The fee is assessed annually based on your point total for a given year.
Once you reach 11 points, your license may be suspended. One quick way to reach that amount is to speed more than 40 miles per hour over the limit, which carries an 11-point penalty.
This post provides only a summary of some of the considerations concerning points. You can learn more by going to the DMV website, or by contacting a New York traffic attorney.

Ideas for a flower girl
Catherine Fyfe
I always love it when there are lots of flower-girls at a wedding. Often it is a bit hectic at the rehearsal with children unsure of what is going on. I always make a point of sitting and having a chat about their favourite toys so that they know me by the wedding day. No matter what happens with them at the rehearsal, I always tell everyone not to worry as, somehow, everything always turns out well on the day!
I always love the excitement of little girls. All dressed up and with their hair done. They usually take their duties very seriously, particularly the "over fives".
Some ideas to think about for them:
Dresses: Can be mini versions of the brides or bridesmaids. Think about, though, what they will be able to wear afterwards. One wedding recently the little girls were in the cutest tulle skirts with little white tee shirts. They looked fantastic.
If you are thinking of an outside wedding, think about a little faux fir jacket or cardigan for them. They won't want to stand still if they are freezing!
Ideas I've seen and loved include "flowers on a stick" with the posy mounted on a firm stick, lollipop style.
A tiny version of the bridesmaid flowers or a tiny version just for them. What about a little bouquet of violets in season? I picked these from the garden in the spring.
A basket or hoop. The basket, instead of flowers can hold the rose petals to spread down the aisle.
A little handbag. Julia made this one for a flower girl to carry.
A fairy wand …… with their initial on it.
A single rose with a long trailing ribbon.
A single balloon or a bunch of them.
And for a very little one, what about a Teddy Bear dressed in a wedding outfit to match - a sure winner with your favourite little person! Has the double benefit of a toy to entertain them for the rest of the day!
Enjoy these ideas. Send me a note if you want to chat about a Wedding Celebrant!

text: Lord, teach me when I fail. Remind me of my imperfections. Remind me that apart from You I can do nothing. Remind me that humility is a great virtue. Remind me to trust in You more completely. Remind me that, even in my failures, You are at work in and through me. Remind me that You are MYShepherd who walks with me through every failure. Remind me that You will lift me up when I fail. Remind me that to love You above all else--above my success, above my pride--is essential and necessary at all times, in all places, before all people.

1,The most sacred place of emerald-Columbia
The distributing of emerald isn't restricted within one place,while many countries found it ,too.The earliest to be found and explored emerald mine located in Egypt's Cleopatra field.
Actually,the earliest one to be massively explored was in 1537, in Columbia,South America,where had the highest output,taking up 80% of the world's whole emerald output(about 2 million carats emerald material) and best quality.
Besides,emerald ws also found in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Australia, Brazil,etc. However, Columbia still has the best emerald in the world.
2,Key pricing factor-scarce output
Though many places,whose output is far more less than other diamonds of the same rank,have emerald,we can even say that only one can be found to be emerald from every one million green Beryl mine.Emerald is fragile and easy to be broken during exploring.
When something is scarce, it is precious.As it's difficult to explore and scarce in the world, the emerald becomes truly precious diamond in the world and named to be the most valuable diamond of the American imported valued colored diamonds.
3,The most important Criterion of Assessment-color
The green color decides the emerald's value,it's not good with too light or too dark green.Only the mediate green ones with beautiful gloss can become superbes,whose chroma from dark to vivid,hue from mediate to mediate-dark,good transparency and well-distributed color.Even slight color variation will greatly vary the prices.
It's commonly thought that emeralds form the most famous Chivor and Achieva mines will wear a little bit blue,which is considered to be the best emerald. Meanwhile,it will become truly superbes if they are in good clarity,etc..
4,The most needless demanding factor—100% purity
There is an saying,"the more lucid it is,the more precious it will be".Though many emeralds are lucid enough,the impurity within it is more likely to be found,which is also the basis of "natural".No natural colored diamonds is 100% pure,impurity and cranny are characters of all natural diamonds.
Colored diamonds supreme by their own colors,while we can't equal purity demand with diamond benchmarking.
5,The best cutting method—Emerald Cut
The common way for cutting emerald is "Emerald Cut".. Emerald Cut used to be applied upon emerald,lessening huge pressure during cutting,so that drilling cuttings can be avoided. Meanwhile,cutting technology is not considered to be an inportant problem in the modern time,when emerald cut method is being applied on multiple styles of diamonds.
"Emerald Cut"method can cut for 50 facets of the diamonds.Seen from the top,emerald cutting is just like rectangles bitten off angles.The diamonds with trapmf facets are considered to be the most beautiful diamonds,whose dazzling brilliance on the trapmf angel will be shown beyond the diamonds.
This is another"Trapmf Cut"method with trapmf-like layers,which commonly are four corners or stretched facet.It's so-called "Trapmf Cut"because of the wide and coaxial trapiziform sides it cuts out.
6,The least investment criteria-more than one carat
Speaking of precious gemstone,you will blurt ou"diamond". Actually,the price of a good emerald of diamond-size is far more higher than the diamond.Most emeralds are particles,weighing less than one carat.If the emerald is good enough and weighing above one carat,even two carats,it will be quite precious and sells at an incredible price.
7,The biggest purchasing trap- artificial cultivating
You should be careful if you want to buy some emeralds when travelling abroad,as there's a"cultivated emerald gemstone",which is cultivated under high temperature and high pressure after grinding and purifying the natural Beryl of poor quality.
It's shining and dazzling with tempting tranquility.Sometimes, these artificial gemstones will on sale in some appointed jewelry store.You shoulde not be too surprised to see the charming gemstones and ultralow discount privilege,as natural good emerald will not be so cheap and no discount.Though the cultivated emeralds are also made of natural Beryl ,their prices varies from the genuine ones.

they don't want to let me out before the transplant.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. I wasn't supposed to spend two extra months in the hospital. It was a transplant. A fucking transplant. Not three nose surgeries and an impending removal of the port that never seems to work properly.

Security Service FCU named San Antonio's healthiest employer
SAN ANTONIO (10/9/14)--Security Service FCU has been named the healthiest employer in San Antonio by the San Antonio Business Journal, the Cornerstone Credit Union League reported.
The $8 billion-asset, San Antonio-based credit union topped the list for large employers in the annual survey that showcases those companies who proactively shape the health and wellness of their employees (Leaguer Oct. 8).
This year's awards event took place at the Historic Pearl Development in downtown San Antonio and included a one-mile fitness walk and a health fair.
"We believe when employees feel their workplace has a strong culture of health, they are happier, less stressed and more likely to improve their well-being," said Jim Laffoon, Security Service FCU president/CEO. "That benefits them, their families, the workplace and our members."
Conceived and promoted by Laffoon to help employees and their families achieve a good life-work balance and strong financial footing, the Total Wellbeing program was rolled out to its more than 1,700 employees. It offers employees and their families an individualized and comprehensive life-balance program at no cost that takes into account their physical, emotional and financial health.
Benefits include tools, resources and rewards to help employees achieve their physical goals; reduced rates and fees on select financial products; confidential advising for help navigating personal challenges; concierge services; and legal and financial help.
In cities where Security Service FCU branches are located, employees are encouraged to participate in local community events, like the Blacklight Run in San Antonio, Dragon Boat Races in Denver and Iron Will Games in Salt Lake City.
"We pay for our employees to participate in these events, many of which are fundraisers for nonprofits. It's a win-win all the way around," Laffoon said.
The credit union also received accolades for its wellness program in Denver, coming in second place in the 2014 Metro Denver Healthiest Employers category for small companies. It is the third year the credit union has made the top five.
