business studies
United Kingdom[edit]Business studies can be taken as part of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) option for Year 10 and Year 11 at secondary school, or can be taken as part of a GCE Advanced Level (A-level) course in Year 12 and Year 13 in further education. It includes a range of subjects, which give the student general understanding of the various elements of running a business. Subjects covered include, but are not limited to: Business Organization, People in Business, Marketing, Operations & Production, Finance, and Strategic Management.[1]
University of Cambridge considers Business Studies not to be a 'traditional academic subject', although taking Business Studies individually will not disadvantage students as long as it is identified as 'essential' or 'desirable' for the course being applied for. It is also suitable when applying for economics at university, if the college the candidate comes from does not offer the economics A-level individually.[2]
People's Republic of Bangladesh[edit]In Bangladesh school-level education is total 10 years and then one has to do another 2 years college if he or she wants to go to university, or after 10 years school one can do engineering diploma 3 or 4 years and then choose to get admission into university. During 10 years school in year 9 student allow to choose whether they want to do business studies or science or Arts, basically they choose it on the future career prospective, say a student wants to be a doctor he or she has to choose science group, otherwise the student won't fulfill the requirements of admission into medical...

This is the optimum lighting arrangement as it fully lights up the character. The Key light is used to provide the supposed natural lighting in a scene. The fill light is used to take away the harsh shadows left by the key light. The back light is used to separate the character from the background and acts as the reflected lights in a scene.
This is our test setup for our lighting and green screen. I suspect that we will have to use lighting when we film S.U.F.C. as the lighting probably won't be great. This image also shows most of the setup for the green screen, but it doesn't show the green screen we put on the floor.

Something will get us all in the end, for 1 in 3 of us it's most likely to be cancer. In the case of far too many of my friends, cancer has been playing the meanest of games. It makes me want to scream,
"Not yet you greedy dastard, not yet."
My own Mum ( my second one for those who know a bit of my history) is a cancer survivor. I have an older sister, a younger sister and a brother. When we were told Mum had cancer, I must have been about 9. I remember thinking,
"But cancer doesn't exist in this country anymore, surely that can't be right?"
I thought cancer was like typhoid and diphtheria and polio – one of those horrible illnesses that robbed hob-nailed little Victorian kids of their mothers and fathers – not people like us. Not my family.
My Mum had a horrendous battle – and I know there are those who object to it being called a battle – well that's fine, but if you are the one in the fight, i think it's up to you what you call it. It was a battle, for her and for us. And now, so it is again, for far too many of my friends, one of whom is the warm, funny and talented Tommy Donbavand, author of a lot of books including the fabulous Scream Street, now a CBBC show.
Tommy and his wife Kirsty have two kids, Arran is 16 and Sam is 9. I couldn't help thinking, as they were told of their dad's throat cancer, did the same thing go through their minds? This can't be happening to us….
To be honest, we all know cancer couldn't care less. It doesn't care that it's attacking Tommy's throat. It doesn't care that Tommy has had to cancel all his future school visits and events because he won't be able to talk. It doesn't care that Tommy is filled with dread that without events he'll lose half his income and will struggle to support his family. Cancer doesn't give a flying monkey's pooh about any of that – but we do. His friends. So eff off cancer, you might have started the fight but Tommy is squaring up to you and there are a fair few rank and file friends in his corner.
How can we help?
Well, Tommy had a brilliant idea, for a tiny fee every month you can be one of his patrons and get access to super special new content. You can read about it, and sign up if you want, on his Tommy vs cancer blog.
And obviously, you can buy his books! To that end, a few bloggers, me included, are going to be taking part in a blog tour.
The Tommy VS Cancer blog tour will start on the 1st of June and run till the end of the month. You can find out who's involved and what's going on using the twitter hashtag #tommyvcancer.
We might not be doctors but we can be friends. We're behind you Tommy!

I'm just getting over a swift dose of flu and feeling a bit out of shape, but not even that can stop me from enjoying this time of the year, there are so many wonderful things to find outdoors. Lots of crafty folk love the shape and colour of mushrooms and we are no exception, even my youngest can't go for a walk without pointing out almost every one that he sees. So, our little walks can take quite some time. Mushrooms are everywhere in our local woods, in the most extraordinary colours.
We are happy to just look and enjoy, but my beloved is a good Frenchman and forager of fine things, so armed with a pile of mushroom books, he has taught me how to identify some edible varieties. This year we have hit gold - a big crop of Chanterelles.
We have been enjoying them with earthy Puy lentils, generously seasoned with garlic, parsley and lemon, or as a deluxe filling to an omelette. Aren't they the most beautiful colour?
Anything interesting to eat in your neighbourhood? Any suggestions for cooking our treasures? I'm sure there will be another mushroom hunt this weekend...

Belly Shot 22 weeks 5 days
Decided to finally post a belly shot...I guess I am finally starting to look a little pregnant...It is strange I feel like I woke up one morning and POP-there she was a belly...We went to the doctor last week, everything looked good. We were just told she looks a little bigger right now than normal-weighing in at 1.6 pounds but the doctor didn't seem to concerned they are going to wait and see what happens next visit...We are busy trying to get the room ready...We are painting and getting new carpet as well as hanging a ceiling fan and blinds in the room...
Looking into registering for a birthing class, trying to find one that is on the weekend so it is more convenient for us...I can't believe that this is week 24-The start of 6 months...

Sleepless Nights
Completely forgot to wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July. Which I can not believe it is already JULY. This means only 5 more months to prepare.But I just found out from David, that I am apparently snoring, although I really understand how because I am just not sleeping as good as I used to. Last night, I had my first official dream of going into labor. I know it is a little early to be thinking this, but it must be my subconscious because I am so worried about the actual process of delivering a baby. Needless to say, I am having a hard time at night-not falling asleep but actually staying asleep. Between the leg cramps, trying to sleep only on my side, and increased temperature I am just really surprised I am finding the time to SNORE. David decided to actually record me because I didn't believe him.When I heard it I was shocked.

We Got The News We Were Praying For
Well, exactly 2 weeks, just as the doctor promised, we got the call. I saw the caller id and immediately picked up the phone. I felt a lot better this time because it was the nurse from the doctor's office calling me not the doctor. She told me our tests came back fine-there was nothing to worry about and they confirmed that we in fact are having a baby girl. What a sigh of relief we both have right now. When she told me the news, I started to cry-happy tears of course:) Now I feel like we can start planning for her arrival. I obviously put everything on hold until we hear our test results.
So this weekend, we are busy prepping the room to be painted. We ordered new carpet and I am trying to decide which baby bedding is better. I ordered one online because I can't find it in the stores, and if I like the Lilac Garden then we will paint the room to match otherwise, I am going to go with the Mulberry. I just really prefer Purple-lavender to Pinks. We also added some things to our registry. It is so funny though how everyone has an opinion. I am going to post the two bedding sets we are debating between.

Why does it take so long?
Just waiting very patiently for the results of our amnio. Trying not to think about it and just keep our minds busy on something else. Of course, that is not hard to do with Bailey around. I get up early am to walk and feed him and then we basically have to take care of him every 3 hours for bathroom walks. We went to the dog park the other day and he seems to be happy pretty much anywhere we take him. David has been sneezing- I am praying he is not allergic to Bailey, which would be strange because he never had allergies with Maxwell and he had a lot of dander-because of his Cushings. Well hopefully next week at this time we will have good news.

It's A Girl
Had another ultrasound Friday and it is a girl. They told us that a few weeks ago but I wanted to wait until we posted it becuause, well you know people can make mistakes. Everything looks good so far, had an amnio done Friday and now we are just playing the waiting game. I still don't think I look as pregnant as all the other woman in the office, but the nurse said you just wait and in a few weeks you'll be complaining about how big you have gotten. We are just so excited to hear it is a girl and now we have to pick out all the pink and purple outfits and accessories.

Our Newest Addition
Well, we gave in and got a new puppy. I couldn't take the quietness in the house and we decided to go to the animal shelter. We found the cutest little puppy-he is 3 months old and is a maltese shih tzu. We named him Bailey Maxwell, Bailey because he was born on March 17 and Maxwell after little Maxie. Boy is he a lot of work. David thinks this is great training for us, because he needs a lot of attention and we are up all through the night having to walk him. He cries a little bit when we put him in the crate, but overall he is a good boy.

In Honor of Little Maxie
It has been a while since my last post. Things have been busy around here. Unfortunately we had to put Maxwell to sleep last Monday May 26. He was 13 years old and had been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome a few years ago. He was doing okay for him, David usually carried him out to the grass to be walked and he slept most of the day- well last weekend he took a turn for the worse. It was really said, he started to have problems breathing, he wouldn't eat, drink, go to the bathroom or sleep. As hard as it was, and it is hard we had to put him to sleep. Needless to say, I had a rough week. The first few days, all I could do was cry and just look for him-now I am getting a little stronger and I keep telling myself he is in a better place now. The hardest part is when I come home from work and the house feels empty. Since I also have had him for 13 years it really is hard to remember life without him. We will always love him and he will have a special place in our hearts.
We love you Maxie.

Poison On Your Lips
I cried today . . .
Do you think you can jerk me around like a yo-yo, or a fancy watch fob that you take out and twirl in the air? You amuse yourself with the sparkle as it catches the light on its way around, up and down. Then you put it away when you're tired of the momentary distraction. A very minor thing in your life, and one that is there purely for your own entertainment. That's what I am to you.
You want me, you don't. You want me, you don't have time. You have "things" to do. You waste your chances with me like they are endless, and I know you believe they are endless. You do this to me and I don't even recognize the reflection staring back at me from a mirror. Reflection ~ an interesting word. Reflections bounce back light, but my light is so dull now. My light is become darkness, and you led me here. You knew it, and you did it anyway. Because it's about you. I'm just the thing that brings some excitement into your life.
You cannot see what is standing in front of you. You cannot see me. You make me not care about love anymore. My heart is so numbed, no one would want that. I am tired of twisting myself into something I believe to be desireable. Screw you. I was always desireable. I have turned away love to be loyal to you. And you don't even have time for me. Make plans, break plans. So what. It's just an ordinary day to you.
How is it possible to love you and hate you at the same time? I can't even look at you right now. I don't want to hear your voice. I don't want any part of you creeping into me. You're out of bounds. Go away. At least give me a chance to try and make my own peace. This loss I feel is tragic. It has no significance to you. There is poison on your lips, and so your kisses are toxic. That should tell me all I need to know.
© 2013 Bella Nina
Very heart touching hub. One needs to be brave to even feel this. Prays and blessings for you. Thank you for sharing. Voted up.
Well said!
Brave and beautiful! And there is a thin line between love and hate.
Blessings and strength to you on your journey.
Nicely done. A very expressive hub, but somewhat like a pyrrhic battle!

Flights resume at NYC airports after snowstorm
NEW YORK – New York's airports are digging out from under nearly a foot of snow and allowing some flights to land Saturday morning, while Boston's Logan Airport remains closed.
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey says the first inbound passenger flight at John F. Kennedy International Airport landed at 9:30 a.m.
Airports in the Northeast shut down Friday afternoon as a snowstorm of potentially historic proportions blew in.
Logan Airport says it expects to reopen Saturday afternoon. Across the region, flights are expected to be back on close to normal schedules on Sunday.
Flight-tracking website FlightAware says airlines have canceled 5,368 flights due to the storm.
Meanwhile, Amtrak says the New York-Boston route will remain closed Saturday.

Great Gatsby – setting
List the four main settings in the novel. Provide a description for each setting and explain what each setting represents.
East Egg – A place in which where the wealthy family's with old money live. People like Tom and Daisy who were born in to there wealth and have been surrounded by money all there lives. It is a place with big white mansions and filled with stuck up, mean people who are extremely materialistic.
West Egg – Gatsby and Nick live in West Egg. It is where the people/family's with new money live. New money when people who have worked hard and earned there wealth they are the american dream come true. it is much more humble than the East.
New York – Is the place where they go to escape reality all their responsibilities that is happening out at Long Island. New York is a place where anything ca happen, where you can be bold, where opportunities come and go. It seems some what magical.
Valley of Ashes – It represents the real world. it filled with under payed, hard working people who want nothing more than a happier life. It is a poor, ugly and depressing place located in between east egg and west egg. Not a place of hope but a place of death and sadness. The people that live in the Valley of Ashes are people who are at the beginning of the American Dream, they work long hard hours but aren't getting any where.
- Select two of the settings from above and discuss how these settings helped you to understand the idea of illusion in the novel. Use quotes to support your ideas.
East Egg helps understand the idea of illusion because it is shown as a place which is so beautiful perfect and happy but underneath that mask it is a place full of people who don't care about anything but there money and the status that they are being given. East egg is a representation of the Buchanan's and the Buchanan's are a representation of East Egg. 'Across the the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water.' Nick associates daisy with the colour white how she is plain and empty he also does the same here with white places.
Valley of Ashes
'…finally with a transcendent effort, of ash grey men, who move dimly and already crumbling through the powder air.'

I know they don't swallow per se, but does that make sense? Anyone else's girls do this? ~Caran I will try to video it and post it.

Remember that first aching sweep of passion?
Remember the gaping hole that opened up in your mind and devoured everything but whatever it was?
Remember how hard it is to recreate that feeling? How you can't believe how absorbed you were? What lengths you went to to find the object of desire?
Welcome to lust. I've always been prone to it.
I'm not talking here about lust in the sexual sense. I'm talking about those wild lusts that seem to be a form of insanity, as the longing to know, to find out to discover EVERYTHING is so compulsive. Even if it isn't, technically, madness, it often feels like that in the aftermath.
Take, for example, my own first, passionate lust object. Ponies. I was five.
It passed. Or rather, the boundaries of the lust for all things equine expanded. One day I found a book about racehorses with some superb photos in it. Another lust was born.
|Hyperion (T Weston up). 1933 Derby winner and all around excellent genepool addition
Then, aged 12, I read a book by Nigel Balchin. The Borgia Testament. Quite what it was doing on the bookshelf in the school library I don't know, but it got into my hands at just the wrong age. Let others devote their passions and lusts and crushes towards the living. Nothing but Cesare Borgia would do for me.
|Cesare Borgia by Melone (contemporary)
I've generally been very lucky in my lusts. What has happened is that the initial surge of NEED TO KNOW, NOW has evolved into a longer term interest. I've kept all of them in some form or another and they've continued to be an important part of my life. And I've learned from them.
One thing I learned is that the racehorse pedigrees, the pony obsession, and the fascination with Cesare and his world were inter-connected to some degree. I need to find and understand the patterns. It is part of how I operate and impacts on everything I do. All that lust goes to a good cause in the end.
I know I'm still quite capable of going head over heels into lust with something. I'm looking at the two shelves of gaming material sitting on the shelf behind me. That is lust alright. Lust with a vengeance, because these were new systems with different ways of building worlds and how could I not want them?
Lust leading to love on a learning curve. It's the kind of lust I need.

In the "Smoke Belt" of the U.S. West, climate change making it harder to breathe – "Over the past two days we've experienced unprecedented levels of air pollution"Posted by Jim at Saturday, October 21, 2017
By Megan Molteni
12 October 2017
(Wired) – No one knows what sparked the violent fires ablaze in the hills of California wine country. In the last five days, the flames have torched more than 160,000 acres across Napa and Sonoma counties, reducing parts of Santa Rosa to piles of cinder and ash and leaving more than 20 dead and hundreds missing. And far from the white-hot embers of destruction, residents from San Francisco to Sacramento to Fresno have been waking up this week to choking fumes, commuting to work under skies tinged orange with dust and soot.
Now, in just a single fire season, ash has rained down on Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. That might seem like an anomaly—but it's more a portent of the country's new, char-coated normal. As climate-change fuels increasingly large and frequent wildfires that hit closer and closer to densely populated urban centers, the smoke they produce is becoming a public health crisis.
"Over the past two days we've experienced unprecedented levels of air pollution in the region," says Kristine Roselius, a spokeswoman for the Bay Area Quality Management District. Things cleared up slightly on Wednesday, but mercurial weather patterns make it hard to know if the worst is still yet to come. "It's very difficult to forecast what the air quality will be at any moment because we've still got active fires."
But in general, the forecast is not good. Roselius says they're especially concerned about the elevated levels of PM2.5—very small bits of liquids and solids suspended in the air, no bigger than 2.5 micrometers across. Particles this small can be inhaled into the deepest recesses of the lungs, into the broccoli-shaped alveolar sacs, where they bypass the body's filtration systems and slip directly into the bloodstream. What exactly is in those tiny droplets and specks depends on the source, the season, and atmospheric conditions. But it's the amount of particulate matter more than the type that matters for health. […]
It's work that's increasingly important as more acres of American forests go up in smoke each year. "As the climate continues to change, we're going to see much more smoke, at higher intensities in the future," says Jia Coco Liu, an environmental health researcher at Johns Hopkins. Based on air pollution from past and projected future wildfires in the American West, Liu and a team of scientists at Yale estimated that by mid-century more than 82 million people will experience smoke waves—more than two consecutive days with high levels of wildfire-related air pollution. People in the new Smoke Belt—Northern California, Western Oregon, and the Great Plains—are likely to suffer the highest exposure. [more]

Story 15
This is a trip that happened I took about 2 years ago and was the last time I ever took acid. It was in the desert near yuma by the arizona border. Me and 3 other friends (I'll refer to them as D, R, and M) had wanted to explore some abandoned mine shafts in the area and thought it would be an interesting trip. I had scored a sheet of blotter and had a nearly full tank of nitrous so we drove out. We decided not to drop until we got there seeing as it was about 4 in the afternoon and we had a specific place in mind we wanted to be and wanted to make sure we were able to find that place (it always seems really easy to get lost on LSD) It took about 4 hours to get there driving through some really pretty desert. So we got there and divided up the tabs. R, M, and I had one tab (I knew this was potent blotter), and D had two because he had dropped 3 days before. We all took a couple nitrous balloons while waiting for it to kick in and walked around the sand mounds near the car, not wanting to stray too far from the car for the first hour or so. It kicked in strong and I remember the three of us (M passed on this one) taking a balloon while standing (an unusual practice for us) and feeling as though I was standing on a wire. I think I passed out while I Was standing and somehow managed not to fall down. I remember falling a little forward then balancing, falling back and then settling down in the center. When I came to I opened my eyes at and looked at D and R. They were staring at me wide-eyed. We had all come out of it at the same instant. That was when things started getting really trippy. I think I felt as though the feeling of falling off balance was a premonition of some sort and that something was going to happen. My mind thought of when Gandalf was in the Mines of Moria and fell down the pit with the Balrog leaving his companions to find their own way out. Then (around 9pm, I can only guess, all I remember was it was dark dark and it was early august) we smoked a bowl and then decided to start hiking down a dirt trail in search of some mine shafts. I remember looking at the ground and it appeared as though the sand was getting sucked into little holes a few centimeters in diameter and then I would walk a little further and there would be deeper holes that were sinking faster, then a little further and there were man-sized holes around me growing. I got a little freaked and decided to stop looking at the holes and concentrate on something else. I said to my friends that this place was really desolate. The only sound was the freeway which was really far away (we had driven about an hour on a dirt road to get where we were, but it was in the middle of nowhere and I guess there wasn't much to slow the sound). The sound of the freeway was weird too, it seemed to change between sounding like a helicopter and a freeway. I wasn't sure if it was the sound reverberating off the foothills or the LSD. I remember M was saying that he was getting some crazy visuals (he always used the word crazy when we tripped) off the sand and our flashlights. We all agreed. I said it would be pretty weird if we saw something in that sand, like a bug or something. Then all of the sudden there was a scorpion right at my feet. I kind of jumped back a little no quite sure if it was real. I couldn't believe I actually saw it camoflaged on the sand with everything moving and melting and sinking. We looked at it for a while moving our flashlights at different angles wondering if it was going to move and being ready to bolt if it did. I talked about how I always wanted to have a scorpion as a child because it was cool how they killed other bugs, how it had that nasty looking tail that would raise up and inject a deadly toxin that would paralyze its prey until it devoured it with its pincers and mandibles. D stepped on the scorpion and none of us had any problems with him doing it either. So we kept walking along this dirt road and talked about how good it was that we parked where we did because the road got really bumpy and the sand was getting softer. Then we came upon a bus stop. It was fairly new looking (metal wasn't scratched), with a pole on either side that supported a cover over the bench to block the sunlight. We tripped hard on that and could not figure out what the hell a bus stop was doing out here in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road that a bus could never drive on. So we smoked a bowl and sat at the bus stop contemplating when the aliens were going to drop down at their bus stop landing site and pick us up. When we were reasonably convinced that the aliens were not stopping we figured we better find the mines and headed back down the road. I remember us all looking at the stars when we got up and seeing a shooting star (or maybe just a really bright tracer) about every 30 seconds. We all laughed about how many shooting stars there were not really knowing if they were real or just hallucinations. The odd thing was that many of them did produce a little light that enabled us to see the landscape for a fraction of a second. They all kept walking and I stood there for a while longer not realizing they had left. I remember feeling some burning hot drops of something hit my head and heard what sounded like rocks hitting the ground all around me. I ducked my head and closed my eyes and then it was gone leaving nothing except a freaky feeling in my head. I was thinking about time a lot that evening. What remained constant over time. Where did we come from, how will it end, how did it start. What held time together, and what could unravel its fabric. I tried not to think about it because when I did I started getting these hot and cold flashes and the stars would start swirling around above me and I didnt want them to start falling again. The flashes would come and go, I remember shivering for a while (wearing only a T-shirt because if you live in southern california you know that the santa ana comes in august and the air is really dry and really warm) and then a warm almost hot gust of wind would blow over me and stop the shivering. I commented about it to my friends and they said they hadnt noticed it. Just then was when I noticed their faces start contorting a little. It was just subtle at first, the shadows would move around their faces and give them a sort of spooky look like when you were a kid and used to hold the light under your chin. I started looking at the stars again and had this sudden fear of imminent disaster. There was a vortex forming in the stars, it looked like a whirlpool and the stars were getting sucked into it leaving trails of light in the wake behind them. I looked over at M and he looked at me and screamed "Nooooooo!" "holy shit did you feel that?" I said. There was like a quivering feeling throughout my body like the energy had been sucked out of it and all that was left was a sort of jello squishyness. R and D were worried, they didnt know what had happened and asked M why he yelled. I said that got a really bad vibe and he felt it too. Neither one of us could explain it. The vortex was gone the next time I had the courage to look up at the stars. We kept walking and tried to put the incident behind us. I dont know how long we walked. We didn't talk much for a while, just walked. I got another feeling like a wave of ecstasy washed through me. All I could do was stand and feel it. It was like pure love in the form of physical sensation. It was weird, almost like an orgasm, but a lot more feeling. I felt so much love right there and I told my friends. It was kind of weird because I had known M since the fifth grade, D since high school, and R for about a year. None of us had ever said that before. They looked at me and told me they loved me too. Oh yeah we're all straight btw. We, especially me, said that alot later on to try and keep myself sane, for some reason it seemed to help keep the visuals of my friends faces from getting too contorted. We came upon a fence and that was where we had some trouble. I realized I was tripping balls, harder than I ever had before. My emotions were soaring from fear, almost terror, to pure love, to inquisitive wonder. The visuals were beyond anything I had ever seen. The mountains were rising and falling, the hills growing and shrinking, the colors of the sand expanding and contracting and still forming those queer holes. I held out my hand and moved my cigarette really fast and it looked like a movie that had a really low number of frames per second. The arm would be in one place and then in another and I wouldnt see it in between those places but the cherry on the cig left lines that showed it must have been there. I felt that I was experiencing less of time as it passed. Like I was getting gyped out of those intermediate steps of time between when my arm was in one place and then the next. I told my friends I didnt want to go in the mines. I would hang out outside and trip by myself if they still wanted to go, and that I was afraid something was going to happen, which I really did believe although I cant exactly say why. R, who didn't know M and D very well said he was going to stay above ground too. D and M tried to convince us to go in and then decided that there was no convincing me, which meant there was no convincing R. So we decided to walk up to the top of the hill to see if we could see the freeway from there. We stopped about halfway up (it was steep) and decided to kick it for a while. We all stood in a circle smoking our grits and talking about what we were seeing, thinking, and feeling. That was when I noticed their faces really start changing. R was a little heftier than the rest of us around the waist (but by no means fat). His stomach seemed to grow larger and his sideburns turned greyish and little crows feet developed next to his eyes. I couldnt believe what I was seeing so I looked at M. His lips and skin seemed to turn white and bloated and deep sacs under his eyes gave him the appearance of something between a corpse and someone who hasnt slept in a week. D was the worst of all. The only way I can describe what he became was that he looked like the lord of the underworld in the movie clash of the titans. His skin folded upon itself forming deep wrinkles . His mouth grew larger, his nose became bulbous and evil looking. I could almost see little horns protruding from just above his forehead under his hair. His ears grew points on the top of them and hair started growing out of his nose. It freaked me out hardcore and I asked him if he was okay. He looked at me inquisitively and all of the sudden his face was normal again. "Sure, is everything all right with you?" I lied and told him I was fine (It wasnt until about 3 weeks later that I told him what I saw and he since then he has used 666 as his code when he pages me). Things started getting really weird from then on. The temperature was fluxuating more rapidly. The tracers from the stars were more frequent. Bushes and other plants seemed to grow as I looked at them, like I Was seeing time accelerate. The holes were everywhere. The mountains were sinking and growing more. All I could do was try and maintain some semblence of self existence. I felt the oneness really strong too. That was not a new feeling because I had tripped a lot before and knew it well. I Was thinking a lot about reincarnation and the joining into the Brahma and what it would feel like. I couldnt imagine it being more insane than what I was seeing around me. We sat at the top of the hill for a long time once we got there. The walk down looked very intimidating, large boulders, steep sandy declines, and we were wondering if we would ever make it down. I began noticing that when my emotions started going haywire, like when I would start freaking out, time would start fucking with me more, so I tried to remain stable. When I made connections with my friends it seemed to stabilize time and my emotions as well as reset time to wherever I guess I thought it should be. Eventually the sun rose. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. The colors spanned the entire spectrum. There was not a single cloud in the sky. From the top of the hill we could see for miles around. Something peculiar caught my eye. On one side of the mountain there was a large burned area. It was like a great black circle of charcoal. It was completely black absorbing all the light. On the opposite side of the mountain was a lush green valley of almost equal size. I kept looking from one side to the other wondering what it meant or if it meant anything at all. The sun was straight ahead, if I stood facing it the valley was on my right and the burned area was on my left. I was standing balanced between them. After the sun had risen a bit we walked down the mountain (at my request, for some reason I wanted the comfort of a couch to sit on, not that I was anywhere near sleeping, I think I just wanted to stop seeing time). The drive home was the most difficult ride I had ever experienced (I wasnt driving luckily). Every time I looked at something out the window I saw it decay and grow old as though time was aging things around me, but I was staying still. The plants were turning grey and withering all over and then I would look down and look up again and they would be green again and begin turning that yellowish color and then grey again. My brain was hurting, I felt like I was dying. Needless to say this was during the time when I should have been coming off the trip (everyone else was sleeping except the driver). The mountains were continuing to sing and grow only now there were bridges, overpasses and underpasses giving me a whole technological overtaking feeling. There is no other way to put it, I was scared. M, who was sitting next to me in an almost catatonic state didn't notice me staring at his face watching it wither and the lips turn white and chapped. His hair grew little grey streaks and wrinkles formed all over his skin as it became white and blotchy. I remember I touched his shoulder to get his attention and then he turned to me and his face turned totally normal and I was like holy shit! I think M was on the same level as me (at least more so than D or R) because he would show a noticable change in his face when everything "resetted" back to the way they were supposed to be. We stopped at a gas station to get some drinks and refuel. I bought a snapple, kiwi strawberry. That drink was reality. Every time I took a sip of it I could feel it in my body. It rejuvenated everything. I drank a little looked up and it was green and lush (hard to believe in august). But something was wrong, it started turning grey faster now. I just tried to keep my head down looking at my legs for the rest of the drive. I stayed at D's house for the rest of the day. Walked down to the docks and looked at the water, it was moving yet standing still that weird way it always does when your tripping. This was probably about 15-17 hours after I dropped. I was tired as hell but I couldn't sleep at D's house. I got a ride home from M after coming back from the docks and asked him if he could give me one of those hip flask bottles of vodka (hes an alcoholic btw). When I got home I pugged the whole thing and laid down to try and sleep. I woke up about an hour later with a completely numb left arm after some really disturbing dreams. I couldn't sleep for more than an hour or 2 for the next 2 weeks. And almost every time I did fall asleep I would wake up with a numb left arm and/or leg. I also had some of the most intense real dreams/nightmares ever. I remember one morning I woke up from an especially vivid one and sat up and then my snake (A 5 foot columbian red tail) smashed her head against the plastic wall of her enclosure. Freaked the shit out of me, I dont know if she was in my nightmare or not but she has never done that before or since. Most nights I would usually stay up and watch tv or play video games. During those two weeks a lot of weird things happened to me. I had a couple instances when I felt like I was rising out of my body. That was pretty scary. I got in my first (and only)car accident. Well it wasnt an accident, I just locked the brakes and changed lanes because this guy in front of me was going like 35 mph and the car ended up on the drivers side, luckily not too much damage done, it was a junker anyways (thank god i wasnt riding my motorcycle, agnostic btw although I still have doubts about whether I should be, leaning a lot more towards buddhism nowadays). My senses were all fucked up for a while too. I could hear things happening about 250 yards from me sometimes, like a conversation but I couldnt make out the words, then I would go outside and look around and see 2 neighbors talking at the other end of the block. Airplanes were haunting. I lived near an airport and I was used to them, but they seemed to take a lot longer to pass. I could see emotion a lot easier too. I looked at many of my friends and teachers in a completely new way. One of my professors who was always somewhat timid seemed like a frightened rabbit while teaching the class. Another one, who I always thought of as a little teddy bear had a white aura around his body (but he was still as boring as he was before). It took me about a month before I could eat meat again without having severe stomach cramps. Vegetables and fruits gave me so much energy that I would often times have trouble relaxing after a full meal. I've always been something of a non-emotional, non-sensitive person until that episode. Now I feel vibes a lot more from people, and often times places. I'll never forget a couple days after the trip I was sitting in a swing with a childhood friend at the elementary school we used to go to together and getting the most spooky vibe that really made me want to run out of there, but I didnt mention it. About 10 seconds later she said she just got a really weird feeling and wanted to go home. I can't clearly explain how that trip has changed my life, I hope this email has revealed it a little bit. I'm still debating whether I want to do it again or not. Even if I wanted to I dont know if I could get ahold of any. If I did, it would probably be shrooms anyways because they were a lot less intense. uh, oh yeah, im not writing this in an attempt to get people to not use acid, its an amazing drug that has changed me profoundly (some good some bad, but more good i think), just realize when you've done enough and don't push the limit.

Well, the table is cleared, and reset for 10mm Napoleonics!
I am still futzing with the ideal settings for the camera for the lighting, but for now, here it is! It will be a smaller force defending against a larger attack force... the defending force will get a part of its troops behind the redoubts in the corner, and the rest will be marching onto the board... the attackers (which I think will be the British, as odd as that seems) will come in on the other side in column and ready to roll. we'll see how it goes!
Next up... troops! First, however, I want to review my 10mm Nappy rules, and maybe do some futzing with them... a little revision never hurt anyone!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope the photos are okay; I am still working on the settings of the camera, and the lighting in some ways is great, but is also maybe a bit dark for such photography... anyway, thanks for visiting!

I know the problems with the right light for a photo. :-) I am sure in real it looks much more better.

Avilion (book, Robert Holdstock, 2009)
A review published originally in Death Ray #21.
Robert Holdstock/Gollancz
Robert Holdstock has a special place in the hearts of serious fantasy lovers. Unlike the majority of the books nestled in the fantasy section of your local Waterstones, Holdstock owes little to Tolkien, but hearkens back to the tradition from which Tolkien himself sprang: our common mythic heritage. It's a branch of the fantasy family tree that bore most of the fruit before the good professor set pen to paper, but which has since been almost shaded out by others trying to mimic what Tolkien achieved, more's the pity.
Most of Holdstock's books take place within Ryhope Wood, a three square-mile patch of ancient forest in Herefordshire. A fragment of the greenwood that once covered all of Europe, there's deep magic within its bounds. It is semi-sentient, paradoxically huge inside, and can conjure legendary beings out of the minds of the humans who dwell near its boundaries. These 'myth imagos' gave the name to Holdstock's first Ryhope book, Mythago Wood, published to great acclaim in 1984. Holdstock has revisited the wood many times since then, but Avilion is the first direct sequel to that first tale.
Stephen Huxley, Mythago Wood's protagonist, has been living deep in Ryhope with a mythago of Guiwenneth, a celtic archetype whose historic personage gave rise to the legends of Guinevere and others, and who he claimed back from death. They have two half-human children, Yssobel and Jack. Jack yearns to experience the world his father left behind, Yssobel is being drawn into ever greater affinity with the magic of the wood and has unwittingly called Jack's murderous brother, Christian, back into being. This so upsets her mother (whom Christian kidnapped, raped and murdered many years earlier) she departs on a quest for revenge. The dismayed Yssobel sets out to bring her mother home, changing all their lives forever.
The narrative of each successive Ryhope book has grown more impenetrable, like a wild thicket. The questions of who calls whom into existence and whether any of it has any kind of objective reality weave a tricksy glamour about Holdstock's stories. But these are not books of easy answers, and his interlaying of psychology, myth, and ontology with raw emotion, sometimes falteringly conveyed in verse, conveys the messiness of real life. Like real life, like the bark of the trees he so loves, Holdstock shows us the roughness of magic and nature, bound up in blood and filth. Avilion is penetratingly honest, there is no idyll to be had, and happiness comes with its fair share of suffering, loss, and self-delusion. Wisdom in Holdstock's world is bought with pain.
It doesn't really matter that the reader is left struggling for sense on occasion, Holdstock's ethereal prose is all encompassing, his use of language so affective that it swallows you whole. He's one of the few authors capable of not only showing another world, but actively transporting to it. He writes of love and death in a shyly awkward way, a poet wrapped up in the privacy of his word-wood. Coming out of the end of one of his novels is to emerge from this private world feeling like you've been living another life, as fragmentary, chaotic and disordered and as bound up by story as a real one. It's an immersive experience that few other authors can match, though the stories sometimes make as little sense as the dreams they resemble.
Avilion is not quite as potent as some of the other entries in the series, but it offers much as Jack and Yssobel attain adulthood in very different ways, and discover what 'home' really means. Good fantasy, like myth should transform. Much fantasy, despite its wars and intrigues, is really about maintaining the status quo, its vacuum-sealed kingdoms and shallow-worn paths from kitchen boy to king providing a cocoon of comfort for the reader. Holdstock cocoons you alright, but his twiggy bowers offer little comfort; his kings are the real deal, plucked bloody and raging from myth, all are remembered for their suffering as much as their success. It's arguable that all myth and great fantasy, all great literature, even, employs loss as an engine for transformation. Ryhope Wood continues to provide both.
Did you know?
Avilion is the name Alfred Tennyson used for Avalon in his poem, Morte D'Arthur.

What do movies and airlines have in common?
3 comments:
seventymm provides a seamless exprience when it comes to the traditional video library going online now.you can order 2 dvd/cd's of your choice and keep for as long as you need!they provide a free home pick up or a free delivery within 24 hrs of you notifying them on their website.I had a bitter experience of someone not attending to my request for cd pickup and wrote to their customercare email id from the website.guess what i got 2 calls the very next day from their customer care to know what went wrong and to mention that they have immediately addressed this by shipping the latest movies in queue.now thats more for a movie freak like me!ReplyDelete
One that comes to mind is the Radio Taxi business which is mushrooming in metropolitan India. Much like the vastly enhanced cinematic experince, this is one idea that has lead to Smarter travel -- not to mention, cleaner, more reliable, comfortable, safer...ReplyDelete
Now thaters are offering the food part also. Mayajaal, India's largest multiplexes, in Chennai offers a menu wherein you can choose whether you want popcorn / pepsi etc. Good move. Of course they are very pricey... :-)ReplyDelete

Leganes vs Real Sociedad Prediction 7 January 2018
On January 7 2018 at 11:00 as the Estadio Municipal de Butraque in the upcoming regular game of the 18th game week of the Spanish Lea Liga the local Leganes will play against their guests Real Sociedad.
Leganes are known to be the average middle-peasants of the national elite division and in the previous season they took the 17th place in the table 4 points above the relegation zone. As for their results in the current season, they didn't manage to change the situation a lot and still they tale the 13th place in the table after 16 matches already played. They are rather disciplined in defense and still their attack isn't efficient enough which will probably make them try hard to stay in the national elite division after the end of the season.
As for Real Sociedad, they, in their turn, went down in the table a bit compared to the previous season as they are now on the 9th position in the table after 17 matches played. In the latest match Real Sociedad unexpectedly and confidently outplayed Sevilla 3:1. That victory was the first one for Real Sociedad in their last six games. Besides, Real Sociedad are rather unreliable in their away matches as they only gained 11 points in their 8 games away from home with 12:12 goal difference.
The teams have only played two games against each other and they did it in the previous season. The results of these games show an advantage of Real Sociedad as they won 0:2 and drew 1:1. Leganes are rather unstable at home and still they are very reliable in defense. That's why we think that there won't a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match.

A misnomer that needs to be abolished, is that a country wedding can only be done one way. The beauty to today's utterly dreamy bohemian wedding is that it is all about elevating a country affair. Inspired by a romantic bohemian wedding with whimsical influences, a team of Pacific Northwest wedding pros set off to create a wedding of polish and sophistication. Dairyland serves as the perfect backdrop, a locale injecting just the right rustic flavor with the platform for elevated style. Utilizing a wide range of materials and textures, the team created experiences throughout the property with the keystone piece being an incredibly cool triangle backdrop. No bohemian wedding would be complete without a world of dripping greens, something From the Ground Up Floral delivered in spades from the asymetrical swag detailing in the ceremony decor to the gorgeous hand-tied bouquet. This styled shoot is a sweet love song to how a setting is just a setting, you can make it all be exactly what you want it to be.

The heavens have inspired the people of the world for centuries. Whether its the twinkle in the sky, the beauty of the twilight colors or the mystique of another place so many worlds away, our heads swim with their euphoric enchantment. Its only fitting that such a thing would influence and inspire the wedding worlds as well. The idea of a celestial wedding brings a jewel tone palette, a dash of metallic detailing, and bevvy of geometric inspiration. When our friends at Love Inc saw David's Bridal Ruffle Trim Faux Wrap Bridesmaid Dress collection, they knew a celestial wedding was the perfect way to showcase the figure loving bridesmaid dresses, no matter your style preference, shape, size or budget.

Inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, a team of local West Virginia wedding pros turned The Carriage House into a wonderfully romantic winter wedding. Working with rich textures like fur and velvet, a complimentary color palette of deep reds and blush pinks were selected to breathe life into their winter wedding. A stunning vintage soft pink tufted couch from The Mustard Couch created the most gorgeous portrait opportunity, perfect for canoodling. Wanting to taking a playful turn, an outdoor reception table was set, lined with rich greens dotted by organic detailing such as picturesque pomegranates. Really giving off the romantic storybook feel is combination of stone locale in the Carriage House plus our bride's stunning long sleeved full skirt Hayley Paige. Maybe its just me, but this is the kind of winter wedding everyone goes nuts about!

You're not supposed to have favorites. They say each one should take an equal amount of you're heart. The simple truth is, thats never really the case is it? When Atlanta wedding photographer Christa O'Brien Photography's stunning fine art film noir moody boudoir shoot fell into my lap I felt a sense of connection I don't always feel. Don't get me wrong, I so very much love the various shoots we share, its not always though, they feel completely like... me. If I were to do a boudoir shoot today, I'd be beating down Christa's door... no joke, no fluff, solid truth. There are so many beautiful little things working in harmonious strength within this little moody boudoir that it is extraordinarily hard to deny its success. The location is utterly divine, offering the perfect blend of natural light, with a mood loving interior decor. A bouquet of the drippy hand-tied fashion in dark brooding hues by Beautiful/Wild Design accented with ribbon from The Poetry of Silk floats throughout. Simple, incredibly chic lingerie choices hug in all the right places creating the most enticing blend of reveal meets coy. Then you have Christa's eye coupled with hair & makeup artist Erin Ryser beauty details. Each and every photograph is stand alone stunning...

What Is A Life Of Sobriety Really Like When You Have Been Addicted To Alcohol For So Long?
What Does Sobriety Feel like to Those That Have Abused and Drank Alcohol
For the alcoholic, they wonder, "what is a life of sobriety really like when you have been addicted to alcohol for so long?
Here is what I have experienced in my life, from being addicted to alcohol to living a life of sobriety.
The choices are in each of our hands, and you are to decide which life you want to live. We have two choices, drink alcohol or live life sober.
Just think when we drink alcohol and are addicted to that very substance what we are missing out on in life. There were times in my life that I put alcohol before all else. There were times that I didn't attend family functions because there was no alcohol being served.
Can you relate to that? I would feel lost without my crutch being there to comfort me and make me more social able and feel at ease to talk among the rest of the people I would be around. Alcohol lets you open up and talk with ease, which being sober for many they find it hard to associate with others.
There were many things I missed out on in life, and one being spending quality time with my wife and children. The reason is that I chose alcohol before what was suppose to be the most important thing in my life, and that was my family. I was a functioning alcoholic, so I did go to work everyday even though I felt like total crap, but I made it each day and never called out because of how I felt from drinking alcohol the night before.
So many of us that are addicted to alcohol have missed out on many things in life, and now being sober we have the opportunity to make our life and other lives a great one.
Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children
What Sobriety Means to Me
Sometimes I have no words to explain how sobriety has changed my life and the lives of those that hung in there and gave me a chance to prove myself and change my life. It is as if I was born again.
Even though each one of us were born pure and clean and lived sober, until that one dreadful day we started to drink alcohol that would change our life forever. Thanks to our addiction to alcohol it changed the lives of the ones we love and care for as well.
The innocent people that loved us and cared for our well being were dragged into our addiction right along with us. They didn't ask to be part of our addiction, they were gifted by us the miserable Hell of addiction.
Now that you and I are sober we can go anywhere in a split second and not worry about drinking and driving. We can do anything we wish without the worry of being hurt by being under the influence of alcohol. We have a clear mind and know exactly what we are doing verses doing things we normally wouldn't do when we are drunk.
We can finally spend quality time being sober with our families and friends. We can enjoy life in a sober way, and appreciate everything life has to offer through the eyes of sobriety.
Sobriety is a wonderful thing and if you still have a problem with your addiction, please stop for a moment and think just how great your life would be being sober.
Your life will certainly change be being clean and sober, just how my life has changed since October 27, 2009 when I had my last drink of alcohol.

text: Hi all, I posted a question in another thread, which has now been locked. The question was >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi all, I'm quite new to the games console scene, I have an xbox and my son has a PS2. When the first Playstation came out was there similar discussions/arguments about which was the best games console available, and that the PS1 would never be any good etc etc. or was it clear from the start that the PS would be the best thing since sliced bread? Just curious as I don't have a strong view on which console is better. Personally I bought an xbox because I wanted that one and my son got a PS2 because he wanted that one. Mike <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I received a reply from Sinzer, thanks Sinzer. Although that reply was more about why the PS2 became popular. I was more curious about the reception the first PlayStation received compared to the other consoles available at the time, as I wasn't really into games consoles when it was released, I was wondering if the same discussions/arguments went on about the PlayStation 1 vs 'Current popular console' as we now see about the XBox vs the PS2.

Although the JIOA's recruitment of German scientists began after the Allied victory in Europe on May 8, 1945, U.S. President Harry Truman did not formally order the execution of Operation Paperclip until August 1945. Truman's order expressly excluded anyone found "to have been a member of the Nazi Party, and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism". However, those restrictions would have rendered ineligible most of the leading scientists the JIOA had identified for recruitment, among them rocket scientists Wernher von Braun, Kurt H. Debus and Arthur Rudolph, and the physician Hubertus Strughold, each earlier classified as a "menace to the security of the Allied Forces".

East Fife have quite rightly taken the plaudits following their performances in cup games against Falkirk and Dumbarton.
But it's difficult to heap too much praise on them following their league season opener away at East Stirlingshire.
This was by no means a bad East Fife performance, just one which appeared sluggish and lethargic.
In the final third of the pitch in particular the Fifers were blunt and 'Shire 'keeper Ritchie Barnard was rarely tested.
To be fair, neither was the visiting 'keeper Ryan Goodfellow with both sides huffing and puffing without really creating any end result.
It quickly became apparent that whoever scored the game's first goal had probably done enough to win the game.
Nathan Austin had a half chance at goal in the opening exchanges while Craig Murray blasted over the bar.
The game was a battle in the midfield with neither side really coming out on top.
The travelling support was howling for a penalty as Jon Tully came crashing through the back of Austin.
The match officials, though, were having none of it.
East Fife started the second half the better with Kyle Wilkie in particular poking and probing at the Shire defence.
But the Fife midfielder cut a frustrated figure as none of his work created any sort of clear sight of goal.
The Shire looked dangerous on the break and it was from one such counter attack that they grabbed the game's only goal.
East Fife were unable to clear their lines and the ball broke to Lloyd Kinnaird on the edge of the box.
The right back isn't known for his goals but finished in style, drilling past Goodfellow.
Gary Naysmith rung the changes from the bench and on came Ross Brown, Allan Walker and Craig Sutherland to freshen things up.
East Fife remained camped in the Shire half but were just unable to break down a stubborn defence.
There was enough time for another East Fife penalty claim when Nathan Shepherd looked to have handled inside his box.
A high ball over the top of the defence was on its way through to Sutherland but Shepherd tried to head clear, only for the ball to bounce down on his hand.
Whether or not the left back could have done anything to avoid the contact is dubious and, again, the claims of the travelling support were snubbed.
Play continued and the ball broke for Sutherland who wasn't able to really test Barnard.
The miss simply summed up what was a frustrating, but not disastrous, afternoon at the office for the Fifers who will look to bounce straight back when Berwick visit on Saturday.

Masterfoods Euro boss to join Heinz
Masterfoods business development director for southern Europe Paul Kaye is leaving the company to join Heinz. He takes up his job as commercial director for quick-serve meals on October 4.
Kaye will be responsible for all aspects of the business, including continuing Heinz's push of its relaunched flagship Heinz Beans and soup range (MW August 12).
It is understood that Kaye planned to leave Masterfoods after the marketing team was decentralised. His role, which covered all of southern Europe, has been scrapped in the restructure, which devolved marketing responsibility to individual countries. It is thought that Kaye was offered a role heading marketing for Spain but he turned it down. He is now moving back from France to the UK.
Kaye takes over from Robin Walker, who has been promoted to change director for UK and Ireland. Walker joined Heinz in 1996 and has held a variety of marketing jobs, including European managing director for sauces.

Vasiliki Millousi - BB - qualifications- one of my favorite beam routines of this year:
Jessica Lopez's Uneven Bars in the EF (1st place)- J Lo amazes me yet again, by competing some new skills. She is constantly upgrading, getting better and better each time we see her.
Yana Demyanchuk's Beam from the qualifications - in which she stays ON the beam! And what a layout!
Jana Sikulova - qualifications - UB - Jana is 23 and still competing. She is also a great uneven bars worker.
Ksenia Afanasyeva's beam routine - from event finals (2nd place) - Ksenia has shown this weekend that she still has some nice skills. I like her style on this event. She may be somewhat businesslike but is also very graceful.
Anna Dementyeva's UB - qualifications
I have high hopes for Anna this year. But I am not referring to shiny(er) medals. I think that the results she had this spring will give her strength to work harder and harder and the courage to challenge herself and to push herself into becoming one of the greats.

Well, it felt like I had a lot of horse in each hand yesterday. It was a lively day at the ranch with a lot of bustle and barking so Kasper was...shall we say...a tad flighty. I was happy to be up on CJ so I could direct from above instead of below. We did lots of circles and walked up and down the road and stood still for several minutes at a time.
I would like to get out there every day but today it was -25 C (close to Absolute Zero with the wind chill) and tomorrow it's supposed to be even colder!
I would also like to get some more photos, but the tractor seems to be parked at an imperceptible slant so the video camera slides off...I'll have to think of some other way...

The dog lover in me smiled from ear to ear when I first saw this holiday video by Bergdorf Goodman. Appropriately titled, "Unleashed," they literally allowed a pack of dogs to roam free in the store! Additionally, the project was in conjunction with the Human Society of New York.
