Cruise Blues
At 11AM today, once again, our ship was released by the Coast Guard - free to go on our way, leaving GRAND Princess alone to carry on the search until midnight.
Our question: If the grid-pattern search cannot be done after sundown, what good would it be for GRAND to remain until that time?
One thing more, though. GRAND has a passenger with a medical problem, so it is necessary for the two ships to meet while that passenger, family and luggage is transfered to our ship. Here are photos of the transfer.
Now we are guessing there will be no further interruption for OUR cruise. We'll see.
Shortly after we left GRAND behind, we were told that the Coast Guard changed their mind, and GRAND was also released from the search.
Our new question: Was that passenger transfer really necessary?

Ernst & Young, the global consulting firm, just released an amazing report on Enterprise Risk Management. They found that "Companies in the top 20% of risk maturity globally generate three times level of EBITDA as those in the bottom 20%".
Three times as much EBITDA!!!!… that's amazing, and is in line with what I have been saying for some time…
Enterprise Risk Management is key to driving performance, and is not simply a compliance based process as so many organizations and technology providers suggest.
A core concept within the E&Y information is the idea of Risk Maturity, and it's impact on performance. At Active Risk we have been engaged in a very large study of risk management experts around the world and our own research suggest that the majority of risk managers put their risk maturity level at 2 or 3 out of 5, suggesting a lot of room for improvement. E&Y suggests a number of ways to improve your organizations risk maturity model, many of which I have written on in previous posts, and puts a spotlight on the need for a combination of sound practice, culture and technology to achieve the highest levels of success.
Bottom line, Enterprise Risk Management is becoming more and more valuable to companies, and clearly drives real-world performance. Companies must embrace risk to build value.
We could all use 3X more EBITDA couldn't we… Read the E&Y report

The debate on indicators of intelligent never stops with scientists producing more evidence towards the same. The latest indicators compiled by psychology experts is surprising where your height, weight, fingers, your color of your pupils, your mannerisms and behavior are all considered indicators of intelligence.
Now WheeBuzz brings to you a list of scientists who reveal 121 weird signs of intelligence
1. You prefer to spend time alone
Research has shown that intelligent people don't like to socialize because they may find it too tiring, they don't need large groups of friends and instead prefer a quiet time alone at home. Intelligent people even talk to themselves a lot which does not signify craziness but intelligence.
2. You started reading early
If you started reading at an early age, it is a sign of intelligence according to British scientists Stuart.J.Richie, Timothy C Bates and Robert Plomin. But then it's logical to regard the fact that learning to read early will fill you with more knowledge at an early age.
3. You have above average height
Studies at Princeton University revealed that taller children scored higher marks on IQ tests and were better off in adulthood. Steve Jobs was 6.2 ft
This tendency can be seen in early childhood: fast-growing 3-year-olds do better on different tests than their shorter peers.
4. You attended music school
A study revealed that children taking different music lessons possessed a higher IQ than those who did not or those who only took drama classes.
5. You are not overweight or obese
A 2006 study revealed a huge relation between BMI or body mass index and brain function. Those with above average BMI had lower IQ than those who did not. French scientists concluded from data that studied 2,200 participants over 5 years that the waist circumference and high IQ levels were related. Another observation was that higher IQ people had better jobs and resources to health care to maintain health.
6. You don't like working out.
Researchers found that intellectual people were less active. Those with lower cognitive abilities worked out frequently. This is because those with high IQ follow activities that require mental effort rather than physical. But this is a bad disadvantage which makes such people ultimately overweight and that will negatively impact IQ. Moderate exercise is always necessary for focus and good health.
7. You're sensitive to sounds.
Creaking floors, heavy breathing chewing noises and crunching upset those with higher IQ's because they were distracted by them. This was proved by a study at Helsinki University. This condition is called misophony that creates changes in the activity of the brain to make people upset with noises such as crunching of chips.
8. Your ring finger is longer than the index finger
Norwegian studies found that those with longer ring fingers were better adept at mathematics but floundered with verbal assignments. Cambridge University studies found that those with ring fingers longer than their index fingers had higher incomes
9. You often feel anxious and panic.
Researched from Psychologists from Herzliya found that people who are pessimistic because of unpleasant situations that happen in their heads. They say that intelligent people are used to analyzing past events and pay more attention to the future.
10. You swear a lot.
This sounds weird but abusive language is a sign of intellect. It could most probably be due to the mastery of a vast vocabulary where intelligent people use several words to express their emotions, especially when mad. This was proved by a study by psychologists in Marist College that show dedicated people were prone to swearing a lot.

Hi all
I am VERY new to candle making.
What do you people find gets the best scent throw, pre blended wax, or wax you blend yourself?
If you blend it yourself, do you add stearin and vybar? if so, what % do you use?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Also what temperature do you heat your wax, add the fragrance and and pour to get the best throw?
Look forward to hearing peoples methods!

Personal taste here (and much aligned with the person that taught me candle making several years ago) but I blend my own rather than buy the pre-blend stuff. I find it gives greater control as some FO/EOs need more stearin and some less than the usual pre-blended stuff available.
I tend not to use Vybar unless I'm using a particularly 'heavy' scent. They are often, I find, the darker coloured FOs and sometimes don't bind as well/easily as the lighter ones.
As for percentages... anywhere between 7.5% and 12% stearin usually does the trick, however, that is VERY much dependent on the FO/EO being used and any other additives thrown in the mix. Vybar (when I do use it) never more than 1%. Remember, too much Vybar can overbind the fragrance.
Temperatures are all a matter of opinion, application and task in hand. Impossible to answer as it's all down to lots and LOTS of testing, fine tuning and personal taste. Got to heat high enough to allow the FO/EO to bind with the wax, not so high (or for so long) that the FO/EO evaporates before you poor and cool. Pouring temp depends on if you're making container or pillar candles. If the latter, are you going for a rustic look or a glass shiny look... Horses for courses and all that.
Sorry it's a bit vague on specific answers! Hope of some use though.

Title: Let's See Them Eyes
Date: 2013
Size: 9" X 12" (22.9cm X 30.5cm) Canvas Paper
Medium: Oil
Artist: L. E. Gav Thorpe
Price: £49.00
This is a painting that I based on and tried to give a 1920's Chicago gangster kinda feel.
Hence the Trilby with the white band and the pencil tache. I couldn't help feeling that it had a gambling feel and that perhaps he's hiding a secret that she wishes to now know.

Thomas J. Weissmiller
PRIMARY VIEWS Candidate: Mitt Romney
Thomas J. Weissmiller is a retired lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army, and currently works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Gov. Mitt Romney is the candidate who will bring real change to Washington. He understands innovation, job creation, technology and what it takes to be successful, and this will positively impact the Silicon Valley and Bay Area if Gov. Romney is elected president. He has a proven record as a business leader, turning around businesses and creating opportunities for workers across the country. As governor of Massachusetts, he closed a nearly $3 billion budget deficit without raising taxes, and jobs grew by nearly 60,000. He turned the 2002 Winter Olympics into a huge success, overcoming scandal and grave financial problems. He understands the need to keep taxes low and cut wasteful government spending
I've met Gov. Romney and his lovely wife, Ann. They have been married for 40 years, have five sons - all married - and 11 grandchildren and have always put their family first. Gov. Romney has an unbelievable amount of energy and determination, and will use his leadership skills to fix Washington. He surrounds himself with smart people, listens, analyzes the data, gains consensus and follows through with his plan. He holds people accountable and gets results. Americans want a leader like Mitt Romney to lead and serve our great country.

What is the mileage of Honda Aviator?
What is the mileage of Honda Aviator?
Honda Aviator comes with Honda Eco Technology(HET), which guarantees every Honda scooter to return 60 kmpl लाभ. You can expect the Aviator to return 45 kmpl in the city riding conditions and 52 kmpl for the highways. The mileage written by the manufacturers is a non practical figure from a non practical test environment. Honda Aviator gets the same engine as that of Honda Activa 3G, but being costlier due to its more premium looking design and features like disc brake and body colored front inside panels. Even the front 12 inch tyre makes it a better option over the Activa 3G.

Blac Chyna's Mom Tokyo Toni Weighs In on Rob Kardashian Split
Blac Chyna's mom Tokyo Toni has weighed in on her breakup from Rob Kardashian in the public manner it went down over the weekend.
After commenters began questioning whether the breakup was a publicity stunt, Tokyo wrote, "I don't care what you see online. Most of you people live vicariously through others anyway stop being a stick in the mud minding peoples business and know you will never get your answer you're looking for. At the end of the day it is what it is celebrity or non celebrity. I don't know why people think because you have a lot of money and material things that every day normal s–t cannot and do not happen to them. The difference between a celebrity in you is the fact is they are popularly known and have the cash to back it up that's it."
"Rob goes into this woman's phone all the time and never find anything in this is what he confesses to me," she continued. "He confesses to me that he know he has the issue but don't know how to handle it. He's a very emotional guy with many many personal issues how do I know this he told me. I don't getinto people's business but my daughter is my business. I don't care what you see online !!!!!"

"I love Rob and I am going to try to help them manage their relationship through love and wise words," she said. "At the end of the day they will still be together I promise you. Rob just have to get Mr. Insecure off of his back! Everything will be fine."

If we switched the TV on a bit early, we would get to see the end of the previous show, which for a long time was one of those police docu-dramas where the cameras follow a group of real police officers as they go about their daily business. The contrast could not have been more stark. Real police work turns out to be amazingly pedestrian. The officers pull someone over for a faulty tail-light and find drugs in the glove-box. A serious offender is caught because someone calls the police and reports their current whereabouts. There's no need for complex forensic evidence because someone saw them commit the crime. Real criminals are rarely that clever, and real police rely much more on persistence and due process than fancy technology. A real police station is a slightly run-down building with a lot of messy desks and a tea-room with cracked china.
I thought of this because I've just finished reading a book called Good Cop, Bad War, written by former British detective and undercover operator Neil Woods.
In the early 1990s Woods was a pioneer of what British police call Level 2 undercover policing. Level 1 is the glamourous stuff, infiltrating the world of high finance, global arms deals and so forth. Level 2 is less glamorous but probably more dangerous, working at street level to get evidence against local crime networks. Pretty much all Level 2 work is about the drug trade.
Woods' job, essentially, was to go into communities where he was unknown, impersonate an addict with the aid of some op shop clothes and a cover story, introduce himself to local street addicts and get them to introduce him to their suppliers. From there he would work his way up the chain until he was able to deal with more serious criminals, at which point arrests would be made.
At the start of the 1990s hardly anyone was doing this in England, and he was the first in the North and Midlands. His first missions were almost absurdly simple, like the everyday police work I saw on TV. He just had to ask, run a bit of a gauntlet about who he was, and he would be in. No-one suspected he might be a cop. He could then buy drugs from dealers higher up the chain, take them to the lab for testing and: Bingo!
There was the odd dangerous moment but a lot of success. Woods had a talent for reading people, for convincing them he was genuine, for spotting danger and averting it. He also had a good eye for evidence and a very agile mind, and soon he had a serious reputation as a crack undercover operator. As this type of work grew he was asked to train other undercover cops, and was asked to join more and more operations in different towns in between his normal work in more conventional policing.
His doubts began to get serious when he was called in to help rescue an operation in Leicester. By this time undercover work was managed by a special group, the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, with its own command structure, policy manual and mandated procedures. It sounded great but there were drawbacks. Two undercover teams were operating in the city, and their respective Detective Inspectors were fierce rivals and constantly trying to outdo each other. This meant there was pressure to deliver quick results, and this meant the undercover guys were often pressured to do things a real junkie would never do - like score twice in a day, or repeatedly ring a violent gangster who refused to sell to you. Even his cover officer, who was supposed to look after his interests, would be pressuring him to work faster.
One evening, feeling stressed by the pressure and danger he was being put into, he was watching a documentary on the Cuban Missile Crisis and he realised what was going on - just like the Cold War, the War on Drugs led to an arms race in which the police and criminal gangs continually tried to outdo one another in the game of evasion and detection. And like any war, it is the innocent who get hurt - the low level junkies and user dealers who get caught between the police and the serious criminals.
In the end, despite the pressures, the team managed to make a success of the operation, but it was a close thing. Towards the end of the operation, with the local gangsters starting to suspect something was up, the team asked him to help with one last bust. He set up a rendezvous to sell a notorious gangster some stolen jackets and met him and his minders in a deserted park, wearing a clunky piece of surveillance equipment with a recorder the size of a brick in the pocket of his cargo pants, and a camera/microphone unconvincingly disguised as a button. He almost got away with it, but before the deal was struck and he was out of there one of the minders rumbled him. He ran for his life as they tried to run him over, only just escaping with his life. Afterwards he learned that the unit actually owned some state of the art concealed recording devices. His superiors explained that it was reserved for Level 1 operations. Woods told them where to stick it and swore off undercover work.
His resolve didn't quite last, but a couple of years later a job in Brighton, in the south of England, finally ended his undercover career. Brighton was one of the first places in England to use undercover policing and had quite a reputation, but lately they had been getting nowhere as the number of overdose deaths went through the roof. Woods was asked to help, and went out on the streets of Brighton to find that it was impossible to even catch sight of a dealer. If he asked a street junkie to help him score, his contact would disappear out of sight and come back with stuff, but he could never get so much as a glimpse of anyone higher up the chain.
Eventually he managed to find out why. He got close enough to a street dealer for this man to explain to him, as a kind of warning, that the drug gangs of Brighton had developed a foolproof system to protect themselves from undercover cops. They would only sell through selected user/dealers. If any of their sellers ever so much as allowed their supplier to be seen by anyone else, their next batch of drugs would be contaminated and their death would just seem like an accident. It was no loss to the supplier, who would just recruit a new addict to do their dirty work. The addicts of Brighton lived in fatalistic terror, knowing that every time they injected could be their last.
Yet when he took this information back to his superiors and recommended that the way to solve the problem was to properly investigate the overdose deaths they had written off as accidents he was ridiculed and accused of cowardice. Once again he told a Detective Inspector where to shove his operation, and this time he meant it.
Although this was the final straw, his doubts had been steadily growing over the years. He had joined the police because he wanted to protect the innocent and defenceless. However, the more undercover work he did, the more he realised that the the junkies he befriended on the streets were just such defenceless people, people who had often been victims of horrendous violence, who had addictions for which there was little treatment available, and who were themselves at the mercy of violent, unpredictable suppliers. He also found them frequently kind and generous, sharing their last shilling with one another and doing their best to keep one another safe. Yet his relationship with them put them in great danger, and at the end they would be arrested along with the more serious gangsters he was targeting. Often they were jailed for just as long as the murderers and kingpins who supplied their drugs. His conscience became more and more troubled by this procedure.
In addition, the more he learned about the business of drugs, the more he realised the futility of the War on Drugs. This futility was summed up beautifully at the celebratory drinks at the end of one successful operation where his colleagues said, 'Congratulations, you have successfully disrupted the drug trade in this town for a whole seven minutes.' As fast as they removed one violent criminal gang, another one would move in to take its place. With each step in the war, the stakes would be raised, the violence of the drug trade would ramp up and addiction would continue untouched.
His conclusion, after 14 years infiltrating the drug trade? The War on Drugs is futile and counterproductive. It costs billions but makes no difference to the supply of drugs. Indeed, it makes criminals rich - of all the enterprises a serious criminal could engage in, the drug trade is by far the most lucrative and is the funding source for a lot of other types of crime including gun running and even terrorism. With this amount of money on offer, the police themselves become compromised and are forced to accept that the corruption of some of their number is inevitable.
Meanwhile it damages highly vulnerable people. They are abused and sometimes even killed by their suppliers, and arrested and jailed by the police. While billions are poured into law enforcement, drug treatment and rehabilitation programs are woefully under-resourced, and many addicts won't use them for fear of exposing themselves to arrest.
As a result, after attempting to continue his police career and work for reform from the inside, and after struggling for years with PTSD from his various experiences of violence, he finally resigned from the police and started to campaign for drug law reform in earnest. At the time of writing this book he was the UK chairperson of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), an association of current and former police and customs officers who are convinced drug laws need to change.
What Woods is describing is a classic case of first and second order change. Our drug policies are currently mired in an ever increasing cycle of first order change - more of the same. We outlaw a substance, criminals supply it on the black market. We police it more heavily and increase the penalties for those who are caught, and criminals find more brutal and nefarious ways to protect themselves.
Here in the Asia-Pacific we must surely be near the end-point of this game. The Indonesian Government has recently executed low level Australian drug mules (with the connivance of Australian police) in the hope it would deter others from trying the same thing. Meanwhile the President of the Philippines has decided to do away with legal process altogether, allowing police to simply shoot anyone they believe is a drug dealer. So far over 3,000 have been shot and the number may be as high as 8,000. Since none of them were charged or tried there is no way of knowing how many, if any, were actual drug dealers. It becomes hard to tell the difference between criminals and police. Yet no-one has noticed any reduction in drug supply.
LEAP's position is that instead of being outlawed, the supply of various substances should be licensed and placed in government hands. Drugs should be distributed via safe injecting rooms where addicts can inject under medical supervision and where they can be offered treatment and rehabilitation without fear of arrest. In places where this has been tried, he says, drug-related deaths and rates of addiction go down, and other crime reduces as well since organised criminals lose one of their main income sources.
Surely it's worth a try. What do we have to lose? How many billions of dollars do we need to waste, and how many lives need to be lost, before we accept that the War on Drugs is not working and try something different?

Knitting ADD
I seem to always have tons of stuff going at once. Most of these things are just laying around on the needles until I remember them and pick them up again. This isn't the case at the moment. I am currently working on 3 separate projects. At the same time. That's a new one for me.
Here is an example. There are other yarns there too. And catalogs, knitting magazines. Also my newest dishcloth KAL yarn and pattern, waiting patiently.
And this is my new knitting spot. Very good light in the day, although most of my knitting time comes later at night.
My three projects are as follows.
1. The besotted scarf. It has come pretty far. It's all the yummy cables that keep me going with it. Otherwise, it's a scarf and I don't usually finish really long ones.
2. The Solace stole. It's lace knitting in worsted weight yarn. So you get the lacy, but not the falling off with stitches so much. I am using Wool-Ease in Rose Heather. This one is a KAL. Which you all know, I just can't keep away from.
This is the first end. You work this end, then put it on waste yarn and start the other.
This is the second end with a start of the middle section.
3. Penrose. One of those mathematical designs from Assign Designs. Very lovely. It's all squares and parallelograms. This is just the first section. I'll show a updated pic when this section is done.
This is what it looks like finished. Depending on how you choose your colors, there are endless outcomes.
Ok that's about it for now. Back to my multi-tasking.

Record Performance For Yggdrasil Gaming In Q3 2017

text: Hello, I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3R motherboard and I used a modded BIOS found in the All SLIC 2.1 thread (the BIOS matched my motherboard's exact model & revision). I flashed it from DOS on a bootable floppy but when I came back into Windows and checked with the SLIC dump tool, it seems I still have SLIC 2.0. I also tried using QFlash - still didn't work. Edit: Okay, using QFlash I've saved a copy of my current BIOS to my flash drive. Back in Windows, I checksummed the modded BIOS which I flashed and the current BIOS which I saved from QFlash, and they're different! So this means that my motherboard has ignored my modded BIOS flash and continued using the old one... Anybody know a way around this, any way that I can permanently delete the older one?

This morning was spent painting tiny houses on top of people's heads. Also put the finishing touches on my Blood Sucking Santa piece for the "He Sees You When You're Sleeping" creepy Santa show coming up at Junc Dec.3rd.
It's been a super busy couple of months for me, so I'm looking forward to relaxing a little after my shows at La Luz and C.A.V.E.
I have some group shows in the works for this upcoming year, there should be a lot of fun ones...stay tuned...

Oh heck yes, it's now officially the best time of the year: Quarterback Hand Size Season. Our nation's top passers are putting their paws on the table and having them weighed and measured, like some sort of prized catch. This information is then used as proof of well … something … by serious draft experts.
Because you've been waiting for 12 months on bated breath, here is the first round of hand size numbers, tabulated at the Senior Bowl.
Look at that thick, robust hand Josh Allen is walking around with. Guy could probably balance a large pizza on his fingertips and walk it to the table furthest from the kitchen. Maybe Mel Kiper is onto something by having him as the top overall pick.
Meanwhile, look at that troubling little appendage Mason Rudolph has to bear. Probably walks around campus with his hands in his pockets at all times. At least he had the courage to get there early and submit to the poking and prodding — unlike Baker Mayfield, who we can only assume is soaking his mitt in warm water until the moment of truth.
Just as a reminder: Jared Goff has 9-inch hands, and it's been working out pretty well for him so far. Still, we simply cannot wait until the underclassmen have their day on the table. There could be a freakishly large or small hand out there just waiting to be discovered.
So damn exciting.

In order to facilitate the installation of the electronic systems, spare duct bank and conduit
shall be run in a similar manner to that shown in Figure 4.5. At a minimum provide a system of
underground concrete-encased PVC ductbank and fiberglass/composite handholes for
distribution of power, control, and communications/data wiring from the ECF control center
(gatehouse) to each remote device. If no detailed locations are pre-determined for remote
devices, provide two handholes located at either end of each primary channelization island,
one at each secondary channelization island, and similarly in the median. The layout should
consider the first automation device to be positioned prior to the rejection point located
before the main identification checkpoint. Consider the possibility of access control systems
being used for recording outbound lane activity in addition to inbound traffic identification.
Power and communications wiring shall be separated in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the National Electrical Safety Code (IEEE C2). Details of
minimum sizes for the ductbank and handholes are provided in the prototype drawings in
Appendix 1. Space shall be reserved in the gatehouse for the controls and electric
panelboards associated with the future control systems.
4.7 Exterior Lighting
There are several references that discuss site lighting for general security purposes and entry
control facilities (see Ref. 2,5,6). As indicated in reference 5, the quantity and quality of
illumination will conform to the latest edition of the Illuminating Engineering Society's of North
America (IESNA) Lighting Handbook, except as modified in this guidance. In the design of
lighting for an ECP, the lighting requirements vary depending on the zone of the entry control
point. The ECF should be provided with multiple, redundant luminaires to ensure the loss of a
single luminaire does not seriously degrade the total available lighting available for security
personnel (8, 29-20).
The approach and response zones require typical roadway lighting. The roadway lighting
should provide enough intensity so that pedestrians, security personnel, islands, signage, and
other hazards are visible (2). The lighting should not be directed in the driver's eyes and it
should not backlight important signage (2). Table 4-2 provides the suggested minimum
illuminances for the various areas of an ECF. Transitional lighting is necessary on approaches
to the entry control point so that drivers are not blinded during arrival and departure (7). As
discussed in the IESNA Lighting Handbook, a "visually safe installation must be free of glare
and of uncontrolled, large differences in luminances. Maximum luminance ratios are important
in order to avoid temporary reductions in visibility because of changes in readapatation when
alternately looking a areas of widely different brightnesses (8, 29-17)." The guidance
provided in the IESNA Lighting Handbook for limiting glare and adaptation effects should be
followed. Reference 7 indicates the illumination level should be reduced by 50 percent within
the average distance traveled in 15 seconds in order to create proper transitional lighting
The lighting at the ECF should be designed as controlled lighting, to reduce light pollution and
increase traffic safety. Glare projection or glare lighting should be avoided where a safety
hazard would be created. Utilize luminaires that are classified as cutoff or semi-cutoff.
In the access control zone, area lighting is provided in the vicinity of the facilities. This lighting
must be provided at a higher level as indicated in Table 4-2, to facilitate identification and
inspection procedures. The lighting needs to illuminate the exterior and interior of a vehicle to
facilitate identification of the occupants and the vehicle contents. Good vertical illuminance
facilitates the identification and inspection procedures (8, 29-20). Lighting levels above those

Sorry things have been silent around here. I've been working inventory at my day job, and well, for anyone that's ever worked inventory anywhere before (including myself), it's basically the worst thing ever. It's mind numbing, it's meticulous, and makes me go a little crazy....I'm talking fits of laughter for no reason kinda crazy... but none the less! it must be done!
So, to celebrate being freed from the 9 to 5, the Bf and I are going on a camping trip this weekend. I'm looking forward to relaxing, being quiet, and sleeping. All things I haven't done for about a week now.
I hope you all get out there and enjoy your weekend! Get a little sun on your shoulders, and perhaps a drink in your hand. I'll be cheer-sing you from in front of the campfire!!
*Let's be honest here, my 9 to 5 is more like 6 to 3..... oh man, i miss sleeping in.

You could think you're listening to a new-wave band from the 80's – but The Aikiu are definitely a band from today. Alex, Julien and Barnabé (Isabelle Adjani's son – I don't mention it to speak about fils de's successes, but to try to explain why he looks so great) formed their band in 2010 and released while they were at it their first single Just Can't Sleep, produced by Pilooski from Discodeine. They shared with us their track The Red Kiss some months later, confirming the influence of The Cure, New Order or Roxy Music on their creations. Their new album, Ghost Youth, was released two months ago, is produced by Guillaume Brière from The Shoes, and includes tracks with JD Samson from Le Tigre and…Isabelle Adjani.
Pieces of Gold's video was realized by Panteros666, the crazy guy from Club Cheval. There's porn in it, but relax, it's safe for work!

Sligo and Donegal offer some of the best fishing to be found anywhere in Ireland whether its river or sea fishing. There are numerous locations where multiple species can be fished for and some very notable salmon fishing rivers and in-land waterways. There are also numerous locations where sea fishing charters are provided and if the mood takes you, you could always just fish from the shoreline.
Lough Gill
Lough Gill and its islands were the inspiration for world famous local poet, W.B. Yeats. The lake itself is 5 miles long by 1 mile wide and is fed by the River Bonnet on its eastern side and drained by the Garavogue River on its western side. This picturesque lake is surrounded by forests such as Slish Wood, Dooney Rock and Hazelwood. A large portion Lough Gill is in Co. Sligo but part of it stretches into Co. Leitrim.
Lough Gill is best known as a trout and salmon fishery but it holds a large population of pike as well as perch and a good stock of bream. Boat hire is available in Sligo town and the lake can be accessed from the Garavogue River that flows through Sligo. Boats can also be hire a various locations surrounding the lake.
Glencar Lake & Drumcliff River
This lovely lake, south-east of Benbulben is approximately 2 miles long by 0.5 mile wide. Situated in a deep valley to the north of the N16 Manorhamilton-Sligo road, 5 miles from Sligo, it has a spectacular waterfall at its north-east corner. The lough has a resident stock of small brown trout and gets a really good run of seatrout and a fair number of salmon, both spring fish and grilse. The average size of the sea trout are purported to be in the region of 1.5 pounds and according to local anglers, the lake produces the largest sized sea trout in the west of Ireland. The best trout caught in recent years weighed 6.5 pounds while the best salmon caught weighed in at 22 pounds.
The Drumcliff River empties Glencar lake into the sea and is an excellent salmon fishing location. There are numerous spots along the stretch of the river that can be fished from the shore. Both the river and lake can yield good fishing all season long.
Ballysadare River
Ballysadare River's 5 mile stretch of water punches above it weight compared to other well known salmon fishing rivers in Ireland. The river is one of the shortest yet one of the most productive in the region. With the Unshin River, the Owenmore River and the Owenbeg River as three of it's tributaries, it drains an area of 252 square miles, which includes Lough Arrow and Templehouse Lake. The best fishing to be is to be found in the tidal section of the river known locally as "The Butt" just below the falls but the river above the falls is almost on a par.
Ballysadare River is consistent in the fact that it offers very productive fishing throughout the entire fishing season. The salmon fishing is controlled locally by the Ballysadare Fishing Club and it is due to their efforts and conservation methods in conjunction with the fisheries board, there is a very healthy run of spring salmon in the river from April to mid June, and in June – July the peak of its large grilse run is seen. There is some very good sea trout fishing in the estuary in the evenings on a rising tide also.
River Drowes
The River Drowes is situated just a short drive outside Bundoran and consistenly offers some of the best salmon fishing found anywhere in the region. This river regularly produces the first salmon of the year and is usually caught on January 1st. Its not unheard of for up to 250 anglers to be fishing the river on opening day and its very rare that no salmon would be caught on the day.
The river runs for approximately 5 miles and drains a 103 square miles square area into the Atlantic Ocean and usually maintains good water levels throughout the season as its fed from Lough Melvin. There is a good run of spring salmon from January 1st on through April and May and into the Summer months with the main grilse run starting around the end of May peaking around June/July.
The Duff River
The Duff or Bunduff River, which meets up with the Ballanaghtrillick River along its course, runs out of the Horseshoe Pass for a length of 14 miles from the Glenade Valley into Donegal Bay, just north of Mullaghmore, but the lower 3 and a half miles of the river is the most fished. The river is also a very prolific and productive salmon river and gets a good run of summer salmon and grilse. The fish start to enter the river at the end of May with the peak of the run in July / August. With good water levels it can fish through to the end of September.
The Duff can fish very well depending on the conditions especially after heavy rain. Most anglers choose the deep pool below the falls close to the sea. Once a flood has let fish run the falls there is some good fishing available above the falls and also some good water upstream of the main road bridge. Anything between 300 and 500 salmon are caught in a season. The river is open from 8am-9pm and all legitimate methods are allowed but spinning is prohibited in low water.
Sea Fishing
Sligo's coastline stretching from Mullaghmore to Easky gives every conceivable variety of ground, from superb strands, through broad estuaries to rocky shores with off shore reefs, and that's just the mainland. There are numerous Islands abound and beyond them the deeper waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
There are fully equipped licensed boats for deep sea fishing which are available around the coast where experienced local skippers will guide you. Bottom fishing is available all year round for a great variety of species. There are several reefs with abundant pollack and wrasse. Blue shark fishing is also available from selected charters. Group and individual rates for full day, half day and evening trips are available also from selected charters and most charters provide equipment for hire on the day.

Luke 7:36-38 "One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat. When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. Then she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping. Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing his feet and putting perfume on them." NIV
For much of my adult life I have contemplated what Jesus would have me "do" for Him. In 1986 my husband Charles and I went to Ft. Worth to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to obtain formal education to prepare us to "do" mission work outside of the United States. In pursuit of fulfilling the requirements of our denominational international mission board we needed two years stateside pastoral ministry experience. We were interviewed and accepted at a church in Florida, just five miles from where Charles grew up and ten miles from where I lived from age thirteen up. Basically our BACKYARD. Charles threw himself into being a pastor. I jumped in with both feet to be the pastor's wife, albeit slightly unconventional pastor's wife, I didn't have training and I didn't have a clue. After the required two years we sensed that God had led us away from international missions to continue to serve in our old stomping grounds. We have fumbled and stumbled more times than not through the years, but God has remained faithful.
My desire to "do" something for Jesus sought expression still beyond the pastoral duties of hospitality, teaching and serving in various capacities at my church. Over the years I've engaged in prison ministry (complete with Bible study and exercise classes), home Bible study small groups, one on one mentoring, mission trips, mission/medical/ dental trips, workplace Bible studies, pregnancy care center and homeless ministry. Paul's admonition to the Thessalonians (2 Thessonians 4:11) to "Make it your goal to live a quiet life: minding your own business and working with your hands…" either seemed impossible to me (Probably the quiet part and minding my own business.) or just not "spiritual" enough. So I continued to search for something more. However, I just could not seem to find my sweet spot ministry wise the way other people did.
The passage from Luke this morning brought me insight. The Pharisee's invitation to Jesus to come to his house was all about him, Simon. I believe he wanted Jesus to validate him, to make him look good. It wasn't about getting to know Jesus better. Or honoring Jesus, otherwise he wouldn't have eschewed the customary foot washing. It wasn't about gaining insight into salvation or the kingdom of God, he was clearly wedded to his own system of righteousness. It wasn't about seeking intimacy with Jesus, he had his "friend" pride to cling to. He needed nothing.
To the immoral women it was ALL about Jesus. She had to be near Him. She had to let Him know she loved and honored Him more than anything. No hidden agenda, no self righteousness, nothing to offer Him but her perfume and tears. All raw, pure neediness.
In my efforts over the years to find a special ministry that I could call "mine". I think I slipped subconsciously into Simon's mindset. How can you, Jesus, make me look good? How can You validate me as a person, a Christian, a believer, a do gooder? I want to hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant!" for my sake, to approve me. I want people to look at me and think I'm special, not needy, broken and sinful.
I have come to the feet of Jesus many times over the years in tears of repentance and neediness. I have sensed His forgiveness and love again and again. His Word has spoken to my heart, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." I am confident that even in the midst of relapsing into my "performance based, all about me ministry" attitude, Jesus loves me and has compassion for my broken, sinful self. He urges me on to engage in the works He has prepared in advance for me to do (Ephesians 2:10), works that bring Him honor and glory, not me. Works that might possibly be mundane or ordinary, like washing of feet, but recorded for eternity.
I love this quote from Brennan Manning's book, All Is Grace, a friend of his Dominique had pursued revealing Christ in the most ordinary of ways by listening to people and showing them small acts of kindness. These words were found in Dominique's journal on the final day of his life.
"All that is not the love of God has no meaning for me. I can truthfully say that I have no interest in anything but the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. If God wants it to, my life will be useful through my word and witness. If he wants it too, my life will bear fruit through my prayers and sacrifices. But the usefulness of my life is his concern, not mine. It would be indecent of me to worry about that."

Recently the star has been donning see-through blouses and barely-there dresses, so it's nice to see her glam it up for the evening. Surprisingly, the tattoos and dark hair nicely contrasted the girly look. The Makeover Poll: Rihanna Goes Dark Again Photo: © Fernando Leon/Getty Images Worst: Kristen Wiig When we first saw this Stella McCartney number on Kristen Wiig, we loved it...until we saw the bottom. A dress made of this black lace would have been so elegant, but the cropped pants give it a casual feel that isn't exactly right for the occasion. She may not have the fashion bit down just yet, but she sure makes us laugh.

While the shift dress was simple, the crinkled texture kept the Homeland star looking anything but boring. We also loved her pompadour pouf.

While the side panels were fitted, the front of her Zero + Maria Cornejo dress was a bit too matronly. It's time for her good friends Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon to step in with some fashion advice. Self-Tanner Causes Weight Gain?!

Today's been quite a chilled day for me, as I finally had a day off work. I've been quite productive today as I've been revising all day and then had my maths lesson, which I was a tad bit early for so I decided to get the last glimpse of sun for the day.
Hope you've all had a lovely day too!

The IE Center for European Studies is having a series of talks titled "Conferencia sobre el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior" in which Federico Gutiérrez Solana, President of CRUE, and Francisco Michavila, Director of the UNESCO chair of University Management and Policy, plus other professor and experts will participate.
The lecture is supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education and will take place October 27 at IE, Madrid in the Serrano 105 Campus at 15.30. Rafael Puyol, President of CEE-IE, and José M. de Areilza, Dean of IE Law School and holder of the Jean Monnet Chair, will open the first table. After this, a debate titled "Bolonia: the challenges from a Spanish perspective" will start. This debate will be chaired by Soledad Atienza, Program Director of the LL.B. at IE University.
During the first discussion, there will be two presentations by Federico Gutiérrez Solana titled "La universidad española ante el cambio de Bolonia" and he will be followed by Francisco Michavila with a presentation titled "Bolonia, entre la retórica y la acción". The second part will start at 18.30 and will be chaired by José M. de Areilza. During the discussion they will argue whether the Bologna Process means or not a new university. In this occasion, the first presentation will talk about "las reglas del juego europeo sobre Educación Superior" and will be held by Maria-José Garot, Director of IE Center of European Studies. The second one will talk about "The United Kingdom and the Bologna Process: The assumptions and the unexpected consequences" and will be presented by Anne Corbett, professor at the London School of Economics. The "Conferencia sobre el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior" talks will be closed by Rafael Puyol, who will summarize the different conclusions of the talks to the audience.

I intend to see out my Dreams contract — MacCarthy
Philemon MacCarthy, the goalkeeper of Dreams FC, says he has no plans to leave the club, despite being approached with enticing offers from some local clubs.
Graphic Sports has gathered that Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions, Aduana Stars and Ashantigold Sporting Club have made moves for the player since he returned to Ghana after a one-year stint with Israeli side, Hapoel Afula, but Dreams FC have made it very clear that their number one shot-stopper is not on the transfer list.
Useful links Ghana Politics | Ghana Celebrity News | News in Ghana
MacCarthy, who was out with an injury for almost three months, returned to the post for Dreams in their friendly against Inter Allies at the Dawu Park last Sunday, and told the Graphic Sport he had a contract with Dreams and would not exit the club until his contract had ended.
"Yes, there has been some contacts from some clubs on their desire to sign me on, but the truth, however, is that I have a contract with Dreams and I intend to see out that contract," MacCarthy confirmed.
" Dreams FC have helped me to gain my first experience in my professional career in Europe and I'm grateful; I can't just turn my back to them at the least better offer. To show my appreciation, I'm ready and willing to give of my best to ensure that the targets of the club are achieved."

The 33-year-old goalkeeper said he was raring to go and make an impact this season, but admitted the hold up to the start of the season was putting he and his teammates through some anxious moments.
"Now everything has come to a standstill and it appears we are training for nothing. When the league is suspended, it puts pressure on our little earnings because there are no bonuses to be won and we don't know when that is going to end."
The former Gomoa Feyenoord and Hearts of Oak player picked up an injury during one of the team's training sessions last December, and was absent during the GHALCA-G8 tournament which Dreams FC won as well as missing the GFA Star Times Gala held at the Nduom Stadium last month.
He was obviously happy to be back to his job as he told the Graphic Sports of his return in last Sunday's friendly: "I miss the goal post and I am happy to be back. I had a great game and I can't wait for our next match."

Listening To God Series
Contributed by Michael Deutsch on May 15, 2016 (message contributor)
Summary: Continuing on our journey of Prayer. Looking at how to listen to God
Conversations with God
Listening to God
May 15, 2015
Jill *** does SIGN LANGUAGE for first 30 seconds of message!!
Do you know what Jill said? She gave you a really important message, but if you don't know sign language, then you have no clue what she was trying to tell you.
She told you John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That's one of the most memorized scriptures, yet, you didn't know what she was telling you. Why not? Of course, if you studied sign language, you would, but you don't! We've been looking at prayer, at ways we communicate with God, and today, I want to look at an important aspect of prayer, one we often miss out on.
If you wanted to have a relationship with someone, you would get to know them. You would communicate with them. We talk and more than talk, we must listen. The greatest test of our listening skills comes when we meet people. How many times do we walk away after meeting someone and we have absolutely no clue what their name is? Yes, we have a lot on our minds, but we also don't do a very good job of listening.
So, today, we're going to talk about listening. And you will have a final exam towards the end of the message. So, listen up!
The hope for today is we will leave here and have a couple of ideas or strategies on how we can better listen to God. Too often we struggle with hearing God. Sometimes it comes in the way we pray and sometimes it happens in the way we listen.
For example, we have prayers where we really don't expect an immediate answer from God. The past 2 weeks, Joshua and Zachary had a number of AP exams, and Joshua has a final one tomorrow. When I pray for them, I'm asking God to help them with memory, with recall, with patience. I'm not asking God to change the grade. Just do your best without getting blown away. Those are prayers I pray during the time I know they are in the exams.
Other prayers, we want an immediate response. Should I or shouldn't I enter a business deal, prayers about healing, about family, and so on. So, how do we hear God, when most of the time, we tell God what we want, then, when we are done, we don't give God the chance to respond, because we hang up! Then we're frustrated that God doesn't talk to us. Or does He? But . . . we're not listening.
So, let's get some clues from a child! We're going to look at 1 Samuel 3 ~
1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
2 At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place.
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, "Here I am!"
5 and ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down.
6 And the Lord called again, "Samuel!" and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.
9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down, and if God calls you, you shall say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant hears."
So, what can we learn from this story about young Samuel and hearing the Lord for the first time? I noticed a few things about this story.
Now, Samuel was sleeping. That's hardly the way I want you to listen to God, but what's important is where Samuel was. Where was Samuel when he heard God speaking to him? He was in the Temple of the Lord where the Ark was.

Companies 'need to recruit to help beat stress'
Nearly half of all employees say recruitment freezes have left them feeling under-resourced and under-staffed at work leading to increased stress, research* by MetLife Employee Benefits shows.
Its study found 46% of employees believe their organisation has not recruited enough since the economic downturn with 40% saying workplace stress would be reduced if employers took on more people
The findings highlight a divide between employers and employees with companies investing in workplace benefits to boost employee health and wellbeing but not always seeing the benefits. Around 50% of employees say they have access to a range of wellbeing benefits including medical care, gym memberships, counselling services and flexible working hours.
Around 42% of employees say their company helps staff to deal with work pressure and stress and nearly one in three (31%) say employers help new recruits to understand the pressure involved in their job.
MetLife Employee Benefits believes the research highlights the benefits for employers in focusing on increasing organisational resilience and its report BUILDING RESILIENCE IN THE WORKPLACE with a foreword by leading expert Dr Brian Marien of Positive Group provides a range of practical steps employers can take to address the issue.
Tom Gaynor, Employee Benefits Director of MetLife UK, said: "Recruiting more staff is a major investment and potentially risky but there are actions employers can take to help the employees they already have without huge investment.
"Employees need to feel supported and the evidence is that employers recognise the issue and are trying to provide that support to their workforce but are not getting the message across.
"Increasingly Group Risk providers are building wellness programmes into their propositions which can help prevent stress. Providers are also helping employers with the crucial issue of communication and ensuring staff are aware there is support."
MetLife research* found employees are most likely to be offered flexible hours – 29% said they could work flexibly – while 20% have access to Employee Assistance Programmes offering telephone or online counselling.
Its own ProActive Protection group income protection policy provides a Wellbeing Hub offering a range of health and wellbeing information and other support services. Staff can use the Employee Health Gateway to calculate their own 'Health Age' and receive personalised health and wellness information.
There are also comprehensive 24x7 employee assistance programme providing practical life management support, guidance on health issues and counselling services, including if necessary access to five face - to- face counselling sessions.
- * Research conducted online between March 4th and 11th among a nationally representative sample of 1,052 full time employees aged 18+ by independent market research firm Consumer Intelligence

Perry, who is flirting with a presidential bid, clarified his position to Family Research Council president Tony Perkins in an interview.
"I probably needed to add a few words after that 'it's fine with me' and that it's fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue," he said. "Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn't changed."

Frozen lakes are amazing! This is something I'll not find in the part of the US I live in and it would be hard for me to feel confident to walk on a frozen body of water like this even though I know it's solid. lol Good pictures!ReplyDelete
The light at this time of year is just lovely.ReplyDelete
Interesting silhouette pictures.ReplyDelete
Great photos! I love how the people are almost totally silhouetted by the back lighting.
That water is still frozen, so in my book, it is still winter there... Brrr!
Lovely silhouettes in winter/spring.ReplyDelete
Wow, it looks freezing out there! But it also looks so open and the air seems so fresh. Lovely place.ReplyDelete
I think we need a new name for this time of the year... springter or Winting maybe
Lovely images!ReplyDelete
Beautiful blue skies.ReplyDelete
Brave folks fishing when it is so cold that the ice didn't melt yet. You are brave to go out in the cold too, to take these nice photographs. Happy St. Patrick's Day!ReplyDelete
