Each euro invested in microfinance generates four times that amount for the community. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by KPMG and presented on the 19th of October during a press conference organised by Microstart and BNP Paribas. KPMG Partner Bart Walterus explained the results on the third European Microfinance Day.
Microstart is a cooperation with a social purpose that operates in microfinance. Since 2010 they have been financing and assisting recipients of social security benefits and businesses not eligible for bank financing looking to set up or expand a small independent business. BNP Paribas is Microstart's main shareholder and requested that KPMG calculate the social impact of microfinance.
Bart Walterus, Head of Management Consulting to KPMG: "Microfinance is a collective name for financial services that are provided with limited sums – microcredits – to disadvantaged groups. Its setup is twofold: first and foremost save people from poverty by assisting them towards receiving an income via their own business. But also to strengthen the social fabric in society; people who are independent won't need to depend on an unemployment benefit or a living wage. The profit is therefore double: for the entrepreneurial start-up AND for society."
Microfinance is usually associated with support in the south, but this concept is also being implemented in our own society. Cedric Vandamme, Senior Adviser to KPMG: "The credits granted via microfinance to entrepreneurial start-ups are limited: Maximum EUR 15,000. But this does involve vulnerable groups that are not eligible for a credit via regular financing. Receiving such a limited credit means they CAN get started. But microfinance is more than just granting a credit. It is also about guiding these entrepreneurial start-ups, in order for them to obtain a business management certificate, for example."
Bart Walterus: "It was a pleasure to conduct this study: KPMG operates in the world of start-ups. Stimulating entrepreneurship AND strengthening the social fabric are both very close to our heart. The study shows that the microcredit's effect creates a positive spiral that can save society considerable expenses in terms of social benefits (unemployment, living wage) and collect important tax revenue (income tax, corporate income tax) and social security contributions".
KPMG has calculated the current net value. That is the average contribution to society by taking the sum of the generated income – the taxes – and the avoided costs such as benefits. That of a candidate micro-entrepreneur is estimated at EUR 4,125.10 prior to the intervention of Microstart. This amount increases to EUR 18,642.80 two years following the Microstart. This therefore constitutes a gross economic impact of EUR 14,517.80. If we divide this number by the average cost of the effort by Microstart before providing the loan, the cost of dubious debtors and further guidance for each micro-entrepreneur (EUR 3,592.60 per person), then this results in a positive impact ratio of 4.04.
"In other words: for each euro invested in the microcredit programme, the community receives four euros after two years", concludes Walterus.

Gosh, wasn't that good? Peter Davison has always been one of my favourite Doctors and to see him back in his "crickety cricket" costume was... well... fantastic! I can see what people mean now when they compare the youthful energy of these two incarnations. Story was simple but effective and neatly slips into canon without upsetting anything or anyone. My inner fan boy got all tingly towards the end during the goodbye bit - nicely played by the pair of them. Some great lines, too. "Brave choice - stick of celery. But fair play to you, not many men can carry off a decorative vegetable!". In how many TV programs are you likely to hear dialogue like that, hmmm?
Not long now until the Feast of Kylie... I mean Christmas and the Voyage of the Damned! I can't wait...

"I didn't take my daughter there for them to alter the way she looks because she is absolutely beautiful the way she is."
One mom says a Washington state daycare center waxed her 2-year-old daughter's eyebrows without permission.
Alyssa Salgado / BuzzFeed
Alyssa Salgado's story has been shared over 24-thousand times on Facebook. She told BuzzFeed, "I was mad and very upset. I was also hurt. It was a mix of different emotions. It made me feel as though I failed to protect my daughter because I wasn't there. What if she she was calling out for me hurting and crying?"
When Salgado picked up her daughter Lilayiah from daycare earlier this month, she said she noticed a "red mark in between her eyebrows." At first, she thought it was a scratch, but then she realized her toddler's eyebrows had been waxed.
Alyssa Salgado / BuzzFeed
The below photo is of Lilayiah before her mother said the incident occurred. "I trusted them to care for my daughter in a proper way. I didn't take my daughter there for them to alter the way she looks because she is absolutely beautiful the way she is."
Alyssa Salgado / BuzzFeed
Salgado said she is giving a voice to her daughter who doesn't have one yet. "They had no right to hurt her the way they did."
Alyssa Salgado / BuzzFeed
Salgado also noticed that Lilayiah's arm had been scratched.
Salgado said, "The scratches weren't there before I dropped her off."
Alyssa Salgado / BuzzFeed
The daycare center – located at Columbia Basin College – is run by the Boys and Girls Club of Benton and Franklin Counties. The college issued the following statement on Facebook:

Dear Delma,
We wanted to thank you and Audley for such a wonderful stay at Allamanda Estate. It is the perfect vacation spot for us and we love the island and all it has to offer. It is a great location with an incredible view. We love the pool and the comfortable accommodations. We especially appreciated the chicken and salad that you prepared for our first evening upon arrival. Whas a treat not to have to cook after such a long travel day!
We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to enjoy Allamanda. It is truly our favorite place to stay on Tortola.

Ultrasonic study of the shear mechanical impedance of butyloxybenzylidene octylaniline near the crystalline-B-smectic-A phase transition
Ultrasonic study of the shear mechanical impedance of butyloxybenzylidene octylaniline near the crystalline-B-smectic-A phase transition - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract : We report a detailed study of the shear mechanical impedance near the crystalline-B-smectic-A transition in butyloxybenzylidene octylaniline 40.8. The measurements were performed at various frequencies from 5 to 85 MHz for shear waves propagating along the normal to the layers. In both phases the material response presents strong relaxation effects. The structure change at the transition is indicated by an increase in the real part of the shear impedance. The results at 85 MHz are those expected for a first-order transition broadened by impurity concentration, whereas the results at 5 MHz reveal a pretransitional effect in a temperature interval of 2-3 °C below the transition.

Birmingham Food Fest returns for second year
The city's tastiest festival Birmingham Food Fest will take place on 13-19 July 2012, returning after last year's inaugural success with a week-long menu of food-filled events and restaurant offers throughout the city centre.
This year sees Visit Birmingham, the city's leisure tourism programme, join forces with partners and leading chefs to showcase the very best of Birmingham's culinary offer. Birmingham Food Fest kicks off with CBD Food Festival in Victoria Square on 13-14 July, a celebration of the diverse food and drink venues found in Colmore Business District, the city's commercial heart. Brindleyplace's super-spicy Chilli Festival, which last year attracted thousands of foodie fans from across the region, will also be part of the fiery festivities.
Birmingham Food Fest will feature a mouth-watering line up of fringe events and irresistible restaurant offers as part of Visit England's 20.12% campaign, promoting the UK's visitor offer in the lead up to the Olympic Games. Last year's festival saw an estimated 70,000 people tuck into food and drink offers from over 80 restaurants, leaving visitors hungry for seconds.
Emma Gray, Director of Marketing Services at Visit Birmingham, which is managing Birmingham Food Fest, said:
"Last year's Food Fest really helped put Birmingham on the map as a culinary destination and a haven for food lovers.
"The festival saw 70,000 visitors descend on the city to sample our gastronomic delights, attracting nearly £1 million of media coverage and plaudits from influential international titles such as The New York Times, which named Birmingham number 19 in its '2012 must-see destinations' shortlist due to its foodie credentials.
"Collaboration is at the heart of Birmingham Food Fest. Working with partners throughout the city, the week-long festival will bring together a wide range of restaurants, from Michelin starred to independent eateries, helping to cement Birmingham's growing reputation as a culinary hotspot."
Ann Tonks, Board Director of Colmore Business District and Managing Director of Opus Restaurant said:
"This year, Birmingham Food Fest will launch with our CBD Food Festival – a celebration of 24 food and drink venues in the city's commercial heart, Colmore Business District. There are many independent venues in the district, ranging from fine dining restaurants like Purnell's and Opus to venues such as Urban Coffee Company and Metro Bar & Grill. The popular CBD Food Festival, which is back for the second year, serves as a great starting point for a festival which aims to showcase the vast spectrum of Birmingham's culinary scene.
"Teaming up with Birmingham Food Fest provides us with an even greater platform to help spread the word of the exceptional culinary offering both in our district, and Birmingham as a whole."
The Birmingham Chefs Alliance, which includes some of the city's top culinary stars such as Glynn Purnell of Purnell's, Aktar Islam of Lasan and Richard Turner of Turners Restaurant, have again stepped out in support of Birmingham Food Fest. David Colcombe, Head of The Birmingham Chefs Alliance and Chef Director of Opus Restaurant said:
"Birmingham has long been home to some fantastic restaurants and chefs that have helped catapult the city into the gastronomic spotlight. "The underground cooking scene taking root in the city and home-grown talent that continues to push the boundaries of culinary creativity, means Birmingham is quickly gaining recognition as an international haven for food."
Michelin Chef Richard Turner, of Turners Restaurant in Harborne, Birmingham added "The range of cuisine available in Birmingham and the surrounding areas is diverse, and this is a great way of celebrating the success of the producers and the restaurateurs. We look forward to adding our support"

A coalition of NGOs has called on Cambodia's National Mekong Committee (CNMC) to push for the Xayaburi dam to be added to the agenda of a regional Mekong River meeting next week.
Chhith Sam Ath, executive director of NGO Forum on Cambodia, said it was disappointing that the Mekong River Commission member states did not plan to discuss the contentious Xayaburi dam, which Laos began building in November, at its annual council meeting in Laos.
"We urge the [CNMC] to request to add a discussion of Xayaburi's construction to the agenda," he said. Te Navuth, CNMC secretary-general, could not be reached.
Meanwhile, MRC donor New Zealand said yesterday that it would not fund the commission beyond this year, but still supported it in its current form.

Today I had several adventures. I'll tell you about the one I planned. Maybe you'll hear about the others later. (Maybe not!)
I had to go to Irons to interview someone for my newspaper column. On the way home, about the closest place to take a little hike was to go up to the old Ward Hills fire tower. You can still drive up there, but it makes a nice walk if you don't.
Here are the footings for the tower. It's easy to see three of them, but the fourth one is there. People now drive right up there and camp.
It looks like the last time I blogged about it was in 2010, so it's time you saw it again!
You would need a tower to get a view there any more. Although the site is a hill that drops away steeply on three sides (you can pretty much tell that in the above picture) and more gently on the road side, the trees have grown up all around. Here's the only bit of a view you have to the west now. You can just see some blue hills in the distance.
Actually, the most interesting thing is the foundation of the old tower keeper's house. I sure thought I had blogged about that before, but I can't find it, so you do get something new. It was small, but I always stand there and imagine what the house would have been like. I think it would have been a perfect place to live.
The other interesting feature is the benchmark from the 1980 Geodetic Survey.
The temperatures were cool today, only in the high 50's. Hey, I like it. You'll get no complaints from me. I had a nice interview, an interesting walk, and learned several new things (the other adventures you may hear about). I wrote this month's newspaper column. I feel refreshed to face another work week.

HI All,
I have 2 fields in my Table - 'Snap_date' and 'Open_date'. Both fields are in the same format - 'mm/dd/yyyy'. I want to find the difference between these 2 fields in no,of Days and put it as a new column as 'Diff date'.
If they are both data type DATE, then just subtract them. Otherwise cast them as date and subtract, e.g.,
Select ..., ( cast(Snap_date as date format'mm/dd/yy') - cast(Open_date as date format'mm/dd/yy') ) as "Diff date", ...
if the column types are both DATE then you should be able to just subtract >
Select 'Snap_date' - 'Open_date' from table;
you could create a view and include the column DIFF_DAYS with the subtraction

Book 36, Daolord of the Fourth Step, Chapter 10 – Descending Upon Silksnow City
The Sacred City of Silksnow was an extremely beautiful place.
"How beautiful." Two Daolords were flying side-by-side, staring at Silksnow City from afar. The entire Sacred City was composed of countless palaces and estates that were connected to each other, each built atop a cloud. It truly was surpassingly beautiful. In addition, Silksnow City was perpetually covered by countless drifting snowflakes, giving it a pristine and holy appearance.
"Big brother Ironshow, didn't you say that Silksnow City is one of the eight Sacred Cities and is governed by the bloodthirsty Silksnow Fiend Palace? The disciples of Silksnow Fiend Palace are all incredibly evil and demonic in nature. All of them are tremendous sinners… is it really possible that these demons are in charge of this beautiful Sacred City?" the young violet-robed Daolord transmitted mentally.
"Haha, nothing can be judged by appearances!" The muscular and heavily armored Daolord Ironshow laughed as he responded mentally, "Silksnow Fiend Palace is indeed an extremely evil sect, but this is still their home, one of the eight Sacred Cities of the Dao Alliance. They naturally have to take good care of it! Look at the snow. It looks beautiful as it drifts through the air, right? But amongst cultivators, there is a legend that every single one of the snowflakes drifting through Silksnow City was formed from the blood of countless murdered victims…"
The violet-robed youth glanced at the beautiful snow drifting through the skies. When he thought of how they were formed by endless amounts of blood, his face couldn't help but pale slightly.
"Violetflame, you are a new Daolord. This is your first visit to a Sacred City." Daolord Ironshow continued to fly forwards while pointing from afar: "I'll explain some of the rules of the Sacred City to you. Look at those palaces over there. Whenever you are within an area covered by those barriers, all violence and combat is forbidden no matter how strong you are. If you do attack someone, that means you are challenging the authority of the Dao Alliance… and challenging the authority of Silksnow Fiend Palace! As the rulers of this Sacred City, they'll send a large number of major powers to slay any who violate the laws."
The violet-robed youth hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.
"Thus… the Sacred Cities are quite safe. Many Daolords have set up residence in them and engage in secluded meditation, because not even Eternal Emperors would dare to break the rules," Daolord Ironshow said.
"Got it." The youth nodded again. Break the rules? Challenge Silksnow Fiend Palace? Provoke the Dao alliance? How would a new Daolord like himself even dare to imagine such a thing?
Outside of the barriers surrounding the palaces, everything is fair game," Daolord Ironshow said. "That's why we have to be careful."
"I'll just keep following you, big brother Ironshow," the violet-robed Daolord said. He then asked curiously, "Have there ever been any major powers who have started a fight within a Sacred City and broken its rules?"
"The three legendary Hegemons would definitely dare to do such a thing," Daolord Ironshow said, "And the Dao Alliance does have internal struggles! The Dao Alliance is simply far too vast, which is why there is quite a bit of combat amongst its most powerful member organizations. Archon Silksnow is legendary for how many he has massacred and slaughtered, and a large number of Emperors belonging to the Dao Alliance have died by his hand. It was slaughter and murder which gave him his current position and the right to rule over this Sacred City. He even renamed it 'Silksnow City' after himself!"
The eight Sacred Cities all had extremely long histories. Every so often, their rulers would change. For example, prior to Archon Silksnow succeeding in his Daomerge, this city had been ruled by a different organization and had a different name. Archon Silksnow's rise to power resulted in many great sinners following him, giving him a powerful organization of his own. As a result, he was able to take control over this Sacred City.
"Big brother Ironshow, look! Quick!" The violet-robed youth's face turned pale as he pointed off into the distance. Puzzled, Daolord Ironshow followed his gaze.
They watched from afar as an inky-black tear in space appeared. A white-robed youth bearing a black sheath on his back emerged from the spatial tear. The youth stared off into the distance, scanning the area with his gaze. As he did so, a surge of terrifying power and presence descended upon the region. It was an enormous heartworld projection, and it instantly crashed down upon the entire Sacred City of Silksnow.
"B-but…" The violet-robed youth and Daolord Ironshow both turned ashen. When they looked at the heartworld projection around them, they felt a sense of terror that came from the innermost depths of their souls.
The power of the heartworld projection had yet to be truly unleashed, but even so it was enough to inspire terror in them. If it was unleashed… they knew that they would be instantly annihilated.
Their senses were correct! Given how strong Ji Ning's heartworld projection had become, even Eternal Emperors would turn pale before its might, to say nothing of Daolords.
"Who dares to suppress the Sacred City!?"
"Who dares to challenge us, the Silksnow Fiend Palace?!" The Fiend Palace was located in one particular corner of Silksnow City, and auras of tremendous power instantly shot into the skies as various figures began to fly out. The leader was Archon Silksnow's avatar! Behind him were the other Emperors. Some of the Emperors were here in person, some had their avatars present. In total, an awe-inspiring process of over twenty Emperors had gathered together. This was a terrifying array.
"Silksnow!" the white-robed youth called out icily, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth.
"What's going on?"
"What is this?"
"Why have so many Emperors appeared?" The many Daolords who were in secluded meditation within their personal estate all emerged, as did the various attendants, Daolords, and weaker World-level cultivators who were within some of the public palaces. They all raised their heads, stunned and curious, to see what was happening afar. Most likely, this was something which they would never see again.
A white-robed youth was facing off against twenty-plus Eternal Emperors led by Archon Silksnow. The two sides gazed at each other from afar.
"Big brother Ironshow, d-didn't you just say… that this place is very safe? That only the thre Hegemons and the most elite organizations within the Dao Alliance would dare to challenge Silksnow Fiend Palace?" The violet-robed youth was rather dazed.
"There are very few who dare challenge them… but that doesn't mean there are none." Daolord Ironshow was rather shocked as well. He hurriedly pulled his brother away and hid within one of the nearby palaces that was within the area protected by the barriers. "Let's hide for now. We'll be finished if we get caught up in a battle between major powers like them."
"Right, right." The violet-robed youth nodded repeatedly, but a look of excitement was in his eyes.
"Hey… isn't that white-robed youth Daolord Darknorth?" A voice rang out from nearby. It was one of the other watching Daolords.
"Oh, right!" Daolord Ironshow was stunned and puzzled as he stared from afar. "He looks identical to the figure I saw in the intelligence report I purchased. That white-robed youth is Daolord Darknorth! How is it that he dares to challenge the Silksnow Fiend Palace? No matter how powerful a Daolord is, he's not even close to being a match for the Archons of the Sacred Cities. T-this makes no sense at all."
"Big brother Ironshow, is that guy over there really Daolord Darknorth?" the violet-robed youth asked curiously.
"From his appearance, he should be… but it doesn't make sense for Daolord Darknorth to challenge the entire Silksnow Fiend Palace." Daolord Ironshow was puzzled. "I really can't be sure if that is actually Daolord Darknorth at all." But right at that moment…
"Darknorth, you really are suicidal." The leader of that distant group of Eternal Emperors, Archon Silksnow, spoke out in a booming voice that echoed in the world. All of the countless puzzled cultivators within Silksnow City instantly realized that the white-robed youth was in fact the legendary 'Daolord Darknorth'.
"He's incredible! A Daolord actually dares to challenge all of Silksnow Fiend Palace in such a dominating manner? They are one of the eight organizations which rule over the Sacred Cities!"
"Daolord Darknorth?"
"He's absolutely incredible."
"What a bold man! Even if he ends up being defeated, I'll still feel nothing but admiration for him." Countless cultivators sighed in shock and awe, and many of them naturally sided with Ning. This was because no matter how much they trained, for them to become Eternal Emperors was an almost hopelessly impossible task. They would at most become Daolords of the fourth Step… and so they felt absolutely exhilarated that a Daolord like them would dare to challenge Silksnow Fiend Palace. Sheer pleasure coursed through their veins at the very thought.
Yes, we Daolords might be weak! But the strongest of us, the strongest Daolords, still dare to challenge even one of the eight rulers of the Sacred Cities!
The countless watching cultivators all mentally supported Ning. However… they all believed that Daolord Darknorth had no chance to actually win. Even his chances to survive this would be extremely slim.
Ning had travelled here at maximum speed. Given his high level of insight into the Dao, he was able to tear through even greater distances through spacetime. Finally, he reached the Sacred City of Silksnow… and he had immediately unleashed his heartworld projection without hesitation. He wanted to immediately make a show of strength! Instantly, an entire host of Eternal Emperors had come flying out. He counted a total of twenty-six of them! However, Ning could sense that most were merely avatars. Even the leader, Archon Silksnow, was merely an avatar.
"Silksnow," Ning called out.
In front of the awesome, distant group of Eternal Emperors standing in midair was their leader, Archon Silksnow. Silksnow, however, was in a rather dazed state of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ning had come to his headquarters to attack him. Was the man suicidal? Moments later, the Archon let out a laugh: "Darknorth, you really are suicidal."
"If you think you can kill me, come and try." Ning swept his gaze across the group of Eternal Emperors, each of them flaring out their auras mightily. Ning smiled. "Do you plan to all come at once? That's fine as well. It'll be fun for me to beat all twenty-six of you Emperors at once."

So that's what's been going on with me...
So on Tuesday of last week, it was November 29th. 2011. Does anyone know why that date might be important to me?
If you guessed that it's because it was the 10th anniversary of George Harrison's death, you got it. I've gone into my all-encompassing love of the Beatles, especially George, before, so I won't go into it. I just wanted to look pretty for it, so I wore a couple of new (and new-to-me) things for it:

[U.S]–US President, Donald Trump's recently-appointed national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R McMaster, has aired his views on Islam, stating that those who commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam are contradicting the doctrines of the religion.
While speaking on Thursday, Feb 23, to the staff of the National Security Council, he said that phrases such as "radical Islamic terrorists" were misleading, as terrorism is an "unIslamic" practice.
This view is a sharp contrast to what many high-ranking officials of the Trump administration have expressed recently.
It does not align with the rhetoric employed by both Trump and McMaster's predecessor, Michael T Flynn, who resigned after a public scandal involving his misinformed briefings to Vice President Mike Pence concerning a phone call made to Russian diplomats.
Trump himself infamously signed an executive order weeks back, banning immigrants from six Islam-oriented nations, aiming to preclude terrorist attacks from occurring on American soil.
McMaster made the remark to a group of officials who have reportedly been feeling destabilised, following an incompatible transition from the liberal Obama administration to the alt-right Trump regime.
Commenting on the matter, William McCants, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the author of "The ISIS Apocalypse", said, "This is very much a repudiation of his new boss's lexicon and worldview.
"McMaster, like Obama, is someone who was in positions of leadership and thought the United States should not play into the jihadist propaganda that this is a religious war,"McCants further noted.
"There is a deep hunger for McMaster's view in the inter-agency. The fact that he has made himself the champion of this view makes people realize they have an advocate to express dissenting opinions."
McCants opined that this would not be the last word on the issue, as Trump's views on Islam are less friendly than the three-star general's.
Also, there are many elements in the White House to neutralise McMaster's influence on the administration, such as Steve Bannon, a special adviser to the president, who has close ties with Trump.
A response is yet to be delivered by the White House.Please Follow Us @ThePageNg

A nicaraguan expression in Spanish: Dale Pues!
Dale pues is a very commun Nicaraguan expression.
In EL Confidencial there is an article where they list the top five Nicaraguan expressions and how to use them:
Dale (pues) –pronounced pweh
This is the first Nicaraguan phrase that I started to use – and I love it! It's more or less a word you can use to say "Okey then!", but it also works when saying "Come on!" or "Let's do this!" or "Go for it".
"Can we meet at eight?""¡Dale!"
Short, easy, useful.

We love teaching Spanish, please visit us and join us for a cupof coffee while learning Spanish ¿Dale?

There's an hilarious letter doing the rounds at the moment, purportedly from Stanley Kubrick to MGM. Unfortunately, it's a fake. But, if you want a real example of how to write to a studio executive, here's a copy of a fax that Douglas Adams sent to David Vogel of Sony, at a particularly fraught time during our negotiations over the Hitchhiker's Guide movie. I can personally attest to the veracity of this piece.
This, by the way, is published in The Salmon of Doubt, the final compendium of Douglas' unfinished works, half-works, nearly-works and random musings.

Workout, Candy and Dinner
Hey bloggy friends! Yep, that's right! 2 posts in one day!! I'm on a roll! I am sad to say that I took down all my Christmas decor this evening and put the tree out by the curb for the trash men to pick up. Makes me sad! My house looks so bare!!
I had a great workout today! I couldn't decide between a bootcamp workout or running, so I did both! Here's how it went:
1 mile run on the treadmill: warm-up
1 mile run on the treadmill: cool down
This workout took me about 40 minutes and I was super tired by the end! My heart stayed pumping the entire time! I loved it!! Y'all should definitely try this one!!
I have so much candy in my house from Christmas. For some reason, my parents and fiancé think they need to buy me loads of candy. While I love candy, I just am so bad at controlling myself around it! Look at all this!
Luckily the fiancé is helping me eat it, but it's going in the trash after New Years!!
We had another really good dinner tonight! Like last night's recipe, I got this one from IGE also!! If you can't tell by now, I love everything she makes!!
Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken
1 can chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
8 oz frozen corn
3 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
Salt, to taste
2 large chicken breasts, thawed (I used 3 for extra leftovers!)
1. Combine all ingredients from chicken broth to salt in crock pot. Salt chicken breasts, lay on top of mixture and cook on low for 8 hours.
2. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to crock pot, stir to combine, taste and adjust seasonings.
3. Serve over cooked rice, or in tortillas. Top with more green onions, sour cream, cheese and fresh cilantro.
Once again, this recipe was amazing! The chicken was literally falling apart in the Crockpot! It was so moist and tender! Loved this!!
Can you tell I'm using my new camera? Don't the pictures look awesome?!
Well, that's all for now. I want to get back to the new book I'm reading!! The Last Song by Nicolas Sparks! Love him!!
PS: Click on the book title to go to Nicolas Sparks' homepage and check out the trailer for Dear John! Loved the book and the movie looks awesome! Comes out in February!!
Hope y'all have a great night!!

Progress MK.2 Campaign: step by step,
still working on mission 4, but found many things out. so i know how to get a working firewall and able to shut it down.
also found small other scripts to let campaign objectives be visible. i have not tested them yet but they seem promising. so that's also a thing I'm going to work on.
i also got Scrin AI working... at least they act, but does not seem to build as requested. So there is still a thing that keeps me on hold for mission 5, for you as MK.2 commander the final battle. Next post will take a while again because progress is slow.
I have seen in all my missions there things i want to chance, but that's because i want it all perfect or at least nicer.

Finding a venue is one of the hardest things to cross off the wedding checklist. For my sisters Nikkah, we had initially planned on having an intimate ceremony at home. However, we're desi and containing our guestlist turned out to be impossible. Hence, we had to find a small venue in a reasonable budget – much harder than you might think!
Our first pick was Chandni Banquet Hall's smallest hall – it's pretty, the food is good and the price is unbeatable. Since we only started looking around 3-4 weeks before the actual event, Chandni (to our disappointment) was booked. Boooo.
We then looked at Candles and Sahara – the latter being slightly too cramped for our guestlist. So how was our experience with Candles? Here's a breakdown:
- Really liked the hall when we saw it – they renovated it a few years ago and it looks MUCH better now
- The sister and I were slightly taken aback when the owner asked us who the decision maker is – from that point onwards, it seemed as if we weren't being taken seriously because we were 2 girls (we have gotten this ALOT). We tried negotiating but we left slightly annoyed – we wished we had our parents with us to do the bargaining
- Nouman volunteered to go and talk to Candles – hoping that a guy talking to another guy might help. It didn't. Most venues do offer to throw in atleast 1 thing for free – i.e. a chicken or vegetarian item – but Candles was pretty rigid and refused
- After weighing in costs and realizing the difference was marginal, we finally decided to book them
- When both our parents went in to talk to them, we did notice a difference in their approach –> keep in mind, this seems to happen at ALOT of desi venues. It definitely is not an exclusive behaviour at Candles
- The day of the event, the owner listened to every single thing we asked – they were on top of EVERYTHING Alhamdulilah. I made last minute changes to some of the table settings and they accommodated it easily. They were present the entire night and checked in with me numerous times. My family and I were really impressed at their professionalism on the day of our event – they didn't give us room to complain about anything.
Overall, I would recommend Candles; their venue is pretty and the price is reasonable. Their in-house decorator is awesome as well – review coming up soon!
- Make sure you have an elderly male figure when you are bargaining – I would recommend this for any venue you are going to
- While it is a pretty hall, I wouldn't recommend it for a Mehendi – the dance floor in the big hall is off to one side which can kill the mood. In the smaller hall, you will always have your back turned to one side of the room or you'll be staring at a blank wall (divider)
Vendor reviews and tips on how to wrap presents for your in-laws coming up! 🙂

BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox have placed right-handed starter Justin Masterson on the 15-day disabled list and recalled left-handed reliever Robbie Ross Jr.
The Red Sox said Thursday that the struggling Masterson has right shoulder tendinitis. In seven appearances this season, he is 2-2 with a 6.37 ERA. On Tuesday night, he gave up six runs on six hits in 2 1-3 innings in a 9-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics.
In the offseason, Boston signed Masterson as a free agent from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Ross began the season with Boston and was 0-0 with a 6.17 ERA in 13 outings before being optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket last Sunday.

I have always wondered why people empty the eggs before coloring them. They are so much more fragile and harder to work with. Is it because they last longer? I personally like to hard boil the eggs first, that way, they are easier to work with.
Hard boiled eggs
Colored felt
Scrap cardboard
1 cup Water
1 tablespoon Vinegar
20 drops food Coloring
Mix the water, vinegar & food coloring. Dye the eggs.
I broke the pink one. It made me sad.
While the egg is drying on the spoon, cut the felt into shapes (ears, eyes, nose).
I didn't need the scrap cardboard (kleenex box) because my felt was strong on it's own. Otherwise you can use it as back support for the ears.
Glue the felt parts on the eggs. Serve with breakfast, eat & enjoy!
I served them with bacon, toast, tomatoes and coconut fried potatoes. Use your imagination!
I've been pretty busy lately. I kind of over booked myself on activities with my son. I gave
to him 3 weeks after we moved into our first house. I felt a bit lonely and secluded, so I scheduled a whole bunch of activities for us. We had swimming classes, mommy craft classes, baby musical activities, stroller workouts & lots of mommy/baby dates... it was fun while it lasted, but before I go back to work in 2 months, I want to spend as much quality time with my son as I can. alone. Just him, and me. It's hard to believe he's almost 1 already. I'm going to miss him being a little mister.

How I got there is a bit of a bugger's muddle. I managed to get in a squad taking on 'Operation Liberation', the climax of the Gemini story in which you free the prisoners and defeat Lord Fan Doom. I have to thank Duintje88, Rinstroem, Sweet and YodaYoda who were part of the squad with me, plus fellow Ghost Warrior UKillerwho gave fire support from outside the mission.
Our first attempt was a failure, so we tried again and put most of our force into the attack/diversionary group. This went reasonably well and we eventually killed all of the targets we were assigned. We then wasted Fan Doom's ride which causes him to drop an Astro-Navigation chip, unlocking the Mizar system.
'Result' we all thought, but then the mission seemed to simply stall at 91% complete. Whatever we did the mission wouldn't finish. We searched Technatoria and found two stray prison pods which we destroyed, but still no completion. I suspect that the Vendetta was destroyed before it collected all of the prison pods, but the mission didn't then fail as you'd expect.
Eventually I had to log off, but not before noticing that I had access to the Mizar system even though we hadn't completed 'Operation liberation'. I suppose the story logic makes sense, we got the chip even if the Vendetta was destroyed. What spoils the theory that SlipStream planned for this possible scenario is that once I entered the Mizar system I was awarded the Gemini Story Completed achievement. This is despite the fact that 'Operation Liberation' still shows up as my next story mission and there's two more to complete after that. I think that once you enter Mizar the game assumes that you've completed all of the Gemini story missions.
Of course I jumped to Mizar and started exploring straight away. First stop was the Star Base so I could look at the shiny new ships that I couldn't afford. Then I explored to Baumar where I found the first story mission of the system, 'Explosive Information', ready and waiting. I decided not to try it as it just seemed wrong to do so while I still had yellow missions in Gemini. This resolve may soon crumble if I get hung up on 'Operation Liberation' too long.
Afterwards I went back to Technatoria and made sure that 'Operation Liberation' was still there, which it was. I could of course just ignore it and throw myself into Mizar but that's just not me. Now I have to keep an eye out for others who need this mission while grinding towards the 7,494 crystals I need for the Mizar Tank. There are still white missions and PVE achievements in Gemini to keep me busy. I'm still irritated though and should raise a bug report, though they may then take Mizar access off me. Still it will improve the game for other players so I'll do it anyway. How noble of me.
Incidentally I was bitching about all of this to Lool, a reader and commenter on this blog. One of Lool's ships has a snowflake pattern, won during one of the Christmas invasions. Very nice and I'm jealous. It almost made we want to hang around for one of the invasions which I've haven't experienced yet. I'm probably out of time though as we're into 2011 now. The Christmas invasion, snowballs, santa skull etc. are nice and festive but haven't grabbed my imagination overmuch. Nice idea though. I hope SlipStream keep up the seasonal events.
Finally I'd just like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Enjoy Pirate Galaxy whatever your involvement, and may your 2011 be festooned with Cryonite and filled with the shattered hulks of your enemies.

The Adventurer's Guild
Tailor's Guild
The Tailor's Guild has one nation to thank for its rise in power and prestige: Montaigne.
The Sunflowers' fancies for fashion keep the Guild's coffers filled. In fact, the Guild's earnings in Montaigne are almost triple the take from any other nation. Mistress Amity Neveu has strong influence with the Mode du Lac (Montaigne's Fashion Society) and has instructed her members to actively compete against one another, encouraging feats of one–upsmanship in their craft. If one style or cut grows too popular, they have strict orders to divert attention to new, more exciting fare.
Mistress – Amity Neveu (Montaigne)

Tectonic plates of intellect now slide
And hammer, jockeying for place, collide.
Like Sumos, foothold and position sought
Will purchase an advantage bought
By these manoeuvres. Calculations win
When arguments will fall in place and sin
Secreted in opponents' logic shows,
Laid bare and flowering like a beaded rose.

The last time I glimpsed her was in a text she sent at 4:20am,
apologising for the torrent of abusive texts she'd sent me
during rehearsals. She finished with the cute Emoji she's adopted
to signify her love since she stopped writing kisses.
At 5am I found her, sat on the floor, red rings around her swollen
eyes, back to the Aga, clutching a hot water bottle & led her gently
up to bed where she turned on me & threw me out, insisting that she
couldn't complete the elaborate set of rituals she has to perform in
order to get into bed. She lives in the twi-light zone, used to get
up at 5am, now it's 1:30pm. Eats breakfast at 2pm, lunch at 6 &
dinner god-knows-when. 5am has become her 'normal' bed time, eating
alone at every meal. She has become a recluse since her school, with
a heavy heart, reluctantly told us they could no longer take
responsibility for someone in such poor health. The structure of
school was the only thing that broke her obsessive day-long rituals
that have now escalated with such ferocity that she is drowning,
red-eyed & only able to communicate the last scraps of her infectious
joy for life, natural humour & brilliant wit through nocturnal Emoji.

The Detroit Diesel Series 60 is an inline-6 four-cycle Diesel engine that was first produced in 1987. It departed from most on-highway engines, by being an overhead camshaft engine and having full "drive by wire" electronic control.
The DDEC II Engine was available in ratings up to 450 hp (340 kW) and 1,450 pound-feet (1,970 N·m) of torque. The engine proved extremely popular with fleet operators, and built a strong reputation for reliability and longevity. It was also available in a popular "cruise power" configuration, which encouraged the operator to engage the cruise control function. During the normal use of the engine, 405 hp (302 kW) would be available, and when the cruise control was engaged the horsepower rating would increase to 425 hp (317 kW), as the engine was the most economical whilst the cruise control was engaged.

Happy Tuesday! I hope that you're having a good week so far. The weather has been really nice in the evenings, so I've finally gotten around to working on my garden. I love Spring and being able to get my hands in the dirt.
In looking over my bookshelves and wanting to read something with a little humor, The Whole Town's Talking by Fannie Flagg has gotten my attention. The novel was a Christmas gift and has taken the top spot on my TBR pile.
As part of First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea, where bloggers share a bit about what they're reading or planning to read soon, I'd like to share the Prologue of The Whole Town's Talking:
"What can I tell you about the town? I suppose if you had driven through it back then, it might have looked like just another ordinary small town . . . but it wasn't. I was born and raised there, so I know exactly what I'm talking about. It wasn't a wealthy town either but we all stuck together. And when we heard what had happened to Hanna Marie, everybody was upset. We all talked about it. Everybody vowed to do something about it. But never, in our wildest dreams, would anybody have guessed who would actually be the one to do it. Or, more importantly, how they would do it. But to tell you any more at this point would spoil the surprise. And who doesn't like a good surprise? I know I do.

Musical Instruments and accessories
A musical instrument is a device created or adapted to make musical sounds. In principle, any object that produces sound can be a musical instrument—it is through purpose that the object becomes a musical instrument. The history of musical instruments dates to the beginnings of human culture. Early musical instruments may have used for ritual: such as a trumpet to signal success on the hunt, or a drum in a religious ceremony. Cultures eventually developed composition and performance of melodies for entertainment. Musical instruments evolved in step with changing applications.

Having been an avid MMORPG player for the last 4 years, I thought I should do my 1st MMO inspired toy. "Uber Leet" is a comical gaming term. A title generally bestowed upon a player that has the best Armor, Weapons, & skill. Basically the whole package.
Most of my MMO time has been spent playing Guild Wars, but I have played a few other popular ones such as World of Warcraft, & Requiem. One of my favourite things about playing MMO's is Upgrading your gear. Trying to get the best set of armor, & if upgrades are possible, getting as much as I can.
The head slots inside the helmet, & because the helmet grips it, you dont have to glue. This means you can make a few different heads with different eyes. Or even leave the head out for that ghostly warrior effect.
Download the Free blank Uber Leet Here
Weapons now available also, visit this post for the Image
As always I would love to see your builds & or custom templates you create from the blank I designed. Please email any pics or zipped templates to me if you want to share them, & I will list them here. Thanks & Enjoy

My current favorite design in fabric is the damask. I go through phases...polka dots, paisley, but right now it's damask. It's taking everything I've got to order a ton of super sweet damask fabric from Michael Miller. That's why I'm blogging about it...gotta keep those fingers doing something besides clicking on the "purchase now" buttons.

Different Kinds Of Hair Style For Young & Adult 2012
At present time we sow different kinds of hair style, so young Adult need select there hair style
High-end hair systems
A hair system is another word for hair made to take the place of missing hair. On men it can be at the crown, the hairline, or in some combination thereof. In women (usually called "hair augmentation") it can be on the top of the head at a thinning part or wherever there is missing hair such as in the case of alopecia areata where patches of thinning are apparent. This type of hair replacement is not to be confused with toupees or wigs, since this is not something that "comes off" at the end of the day. The hair that is applied is semi-permanent in that it is only removed for replenishing or revitalization at the provider's service facility. No matter what your hair loss situation, there are many ways available to find as natural-looking solution as possible to cover the thinning or denuded areas. The quality depends on the type of hair and the application methods; you'll want to consult with a professional in person to make the choice that's right for you. "We will usually choose this route if hair follicles are already dead and would not respond to Propecia, minoxidil or laser light therapy treatments", Shelly Beatty, owner of StyleMakers Salon in Fort Worth, Texas.
"Volumizer" hair systems
These hair integration hair systems, as they can be called, are great if you still have existing hair and don't want to shave it or wear a scarf to cover your hair loss. "It's an excellent choice if you have diffused hair loss which means your hair is thinning and even if you have chunks or patches missing," says Shelly Beatty, owner of StyleMakers Salon in Fort Worth, Texas. A 'Reprieve' is another term for this sort of non-surgical hair augmentation technique in which your existing hair is pulled through the holes of a matrix and is permanently attached so it provides for a very natural looking scalp. You can sleep in it, wash it and partake in normal activities without anyone knowing about your hair loss, says Beatty. "We will usually choose this route if hair follicles are already dead and would not respond to Propecia, Minoxodil or laser light therapy treatments." These units must be professionally applied and maintained at least monthly by a hair loss professional.
Mail order hair systems
Mail order services exist for you if you're looking to reduce expenses associated with your hair replacement system or you want the privacy of doing everything yourself. These work best if you have already had your hair loss diagnosed by a professional and have already previously visited a hair replacement/hair loss specialist and had a custom hair system designed. This way you are a knowledgeable consumer. But caution must be observed if you choose to go the "mail order" route: this is a "do it yourself" solution and the results are frequently far less than optimal. If all you seek is a tape-on toupee or a wig, this could be a viable alternative. But for those looking for true hair replacement, it really isn't something to be contemplated.
The bottom line on hair systems
Every hair replacement option has its own pros and cons that can be best answered by a hair replacement or hair loss professional because all the options depend or your own personal needs and desires. Hair replacement is serious business, since your appearance is at stake. If that matters to you, and you certainly wouldn't be seeking a hair loss solution if it didn't, consult the very best professional help available.

|Killed in a compound not a cave!
You'd think in a country as garrulous as Pakistan that somebody would have talked. In fact, it is unbelievable that the country's bigwigs did not know. Right now the president and prime minister are huddled together concocting some get-out clauses to put in a statement. Thank goodness the US authorities saw fit not to tell the Pakistanis what was going on. Pakistan has been a loose cannon ever since it was created. Anyway, they now know the world knows they can't be trusted. Since 2005 Bin Laden has been stuck in this compound, sipping mint tea and talking turkey with passing vagrants. Obviously somebody spoke up in order for the special forces to do the ultimate deed. But it's all grapevine stuff in order to put a stop to the wild goose chase that Bin Laden started. Don't ask the Pakistani president on a duck shoot. He'd fire off at the first flutter he saw.
With Bin Laden at rest, if not at peace, the world can move on. Hopefully the al-Queda franchise can go bust. Let them fade away. Today is a good day for President Obama. He stuck to the hunt for Bin Laden without fanfare and futile gestures. And he was not afraid to do the right thing. Sticking to diplomatic niceties would have been crazy. He ordered the raid and he got a result.
Osama Bin Laden killed. The White House releases information that public enemy number one is killed.

I've been meaning to start a Church blog for a while but I've never got round to it. A friend directed me to Blogger.com and lo and behold here we are.
But who are "we"?
We are All Saints Church, which is based in the village of Woodlands, north of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire in the UK. Our parish covers 2/3 of Woodlands and all of the village of Highfields.
We are part of the Church of England - and our local part of the church is the Diocese of Sheffield.
Our building is quite distinctive - I'll post some more pictures as we go along but here is a nice shot from GenUKi.
Oh! Who am I?
I'm the vicar of All Saints - Rev Stephen Gardner - and we'll talk a bit more about the church family and what we do, and faith, and life as the vicar of a church, and about Jesus - who is reason All Saints exists!
See you soon
The Vicar!
Wednesday, April 05, 2006
Well, It's a start!

Without much disagreement, we've concluded that this week's topic will be Feud. Sometimes short lived and benign, other times drawn out and embittered, these conflicts can occur between friends, families, countries, athletic teams and everything in between.
Here is an image from a book titled The Butter Battle Book, written and illustrated by another famous children's author, Dr. Seuss. The book (published in 1984) is the Doctor's poignant commentary on Cold War politics. Framed in the perspective of a young village inhabitant, it shows an escalating arms race that ends in a stalemate between two militants both possessing the "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo." This feud, like many others, started with the seemingly petty preference of which side of the bread should be buttered.
See you next Tuesday.

Raiding the Stacks: The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Lost World fiction involves an isolated location, either a plateau, cave, or mountain range deep somewhere in an ''unexplored'' continent, or equally common an isolated island. Often a lost civilization or species previously believed to be extinct (dinosaurs being the most common) are contained in this secluded, mysterious, and fantastic location. Although less common nowadays because of increased cartographical knowledge, it still works as a period piece and has found its way into plenty of pulp adventures, which I'm definitely a fan of.
The Lost World involves Professor Challenger who claims to have found a plateau in the Amazon rainforest with living examples of previously thought to be extinct species, including dinosaurs. As this is an extraordinary claim there are demands for evidence and one of Challenger's critics, Professor Summerlee, sets off into the Amazon with Lord John Roxton and reporter Edward Malone, before having their expedition hijacked by Challenger. They eventually discover Challenger's plateau and a world filled with dinosaurs, ape men, and an isolated tribe of humans. There are some thrilling adventures and everyone manages to make it back home to England, with much congratulations all around.
The book feels pretty standard for a jungle adventure of the 1910's. There are brave white men, piercing the mysteries of an ''unexplored'' and ''savage'' continent, dealing with physical danger and the occasional treachery of non-white people. And there is really a lot of unfortunate racism in the book, although that honestly should be expected considering when it was written and who was doing the writing. There are still some pretty cringe-worthy parts, such as when the survivors of a group of ape-men are forced into slavery by the group of humans on the plateau. Now, while the ape-men had been killing humans for years, it still doesn't feel right to commit something very close to genocide and systematic slavery.
The science on the dinosaurs is also pretty dated. This was during the era when it was assumed dinosaurs were all large and fairly stupid creatures to explain why they all went extinct. In fact, it wasn't until the late twentieth century that the stereotype of dinosaurs as being incredibly stupid creatures was replaced by our current understanding. So it's definitely odd to see, especially anyone more familiar with the post-Jurassic Park era.
Overall I'd say the book is okay. It's interesting from a historical viewpoint but I don't know if it's got that much else going for it. There are plenty of other Lost World genre stories, some of which are probably more entertaining than this one, if with slightly less purple prose.

Guess what, guys! I'm NOT dead!!!! *cheers*
Seriously, though. I know it hasn't been long, but it feels long, or maybe this week just feels long to me. So much is going on this week, my days basically are going in the same order though, so I've established a routine, BUT tomorrow is my last Writing is Life creative writing workshop class (I plan on doing a whole post about that soon), and that is going to mess me all up. *dies* I'm so tired y'all, I'm having a lot of fun, but it's exhausting.
Anyways, I've been tagged once again! This time by the lovely Jane Maree, (check her out, she's awesome, and her stories are HILARIOUS).
Okay, so here we go!
1. What draws you to YA?
Honestly, I like writing juvenile better than YA, but that's just because I can be silly without worrying about some snobby teen calling my books stupid, but I do love YA, too. But as for reading I like YA better, probably because of the fact that I'm a teen so it's easier to relate to teenage characters. Also YA usually has pretty good plots, and there's not many juvenile books with complex plots out there (but I'll write some one of these days).
2. Describe your writing process. Do you like outlines and structure, or seeing where the story takes you?
I don't plan, I don't outline, I usually don't even think. How I usually write is that a few random words or sometimes a sentence pops into my head, I put my fingers on my keyboard, and I turn those words into a story. For Enemy of the Dawn it was the sentence: "Prince running in forest" that started it along with the name "Eadric" that popped into my head as I was trying to do my science homework. And for Forest Zooks it was the sentence: "Something was off about that forest."
3. How long have you been writing? Where are you in your journey?
Since I learned how, but it was only when I was eleven that I realized I wanted to be a writer.
And where am I on my journey?
Not even halfway, to be honest. But I think I'm on the right path...hopefully.
4. What do you need to write?
And coffee (well, not always when I'm writing, but it's nice).
5. If you could offer one piece of advice to another writer, (OTHER THAN "don't give up"), what would it be?
Don't give up. Jk.jk! Here's what I'd tell anyone if they asked me;
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read. oh, and, of course, write. If you don't read your writing is suffering. Reading is food for your brain and muse. I did a whole post on why you need to read in order to write better, you can read it HERE.
6. What book still has you reeling from its plot twist?
I've read a lot of books, so I'm pretty good at spying plot twists chapters away. But one of the books that surprised me most was The Warden and the Wolf King, the last book in the WingFeather saga. I never saw that coming... Like, WHOA.
7.What books are you most anticipating for this year?
Now that the last WingFeather Saga is here (I waited four years for that), I am currently not waiting for any book.
8. In your opinion, which YA book/series has the most unique premise?
The Attack of the Killer Pizza. I can't remember who wrote it, I just picked it off the shelf because of the interesting title... it was about a group of teenagers who worked in a pizza shop and hunted monsters...yeah...not much to say about that.
Oh, and the book How I Stole Johnny Depp's Alien Girlfriend.
I wouldn't recommend it, because it was very lewd. But the plot was the dumbest and most pointless thing ever and certainly unique!
9. What is your all-time favorite quote from YA?
WHATTTTTTTTTT?!?! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO ANSWER THAT?!?!?! Probably this though;
"It's not natural for women to fight."
She rolled her eyes, "It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, yet here you stand." -Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
....That was one of the most savage comebacks ever!
10. What book do you most hope will have a movie adaptation?
Either the WingFeather Saga or Warrior of the Son, probably both. But the WingFeather Saga is becoming a cartoon adaption soon! *Squeals* It isn't as awesome as a movie, but it will do until then...
And now for tagging! I never know who to tag... ugh. And I always feel bad when I realize I should've tagged someone but I forgot...double ugh. SO I'm just going to tag three people and then if you want to do it and you weren't tagged you can still go right ahead and do it, you can even say that Gray tagged you! Because I did, *reaches out and tags you* there.
I tag:
Have fun, y'all!
My next post is going to be about the objectification in YA, do y'all have any questions, comments, or points you'd like me to address in that?
Happy Writing,

Jack can win every argument before it's unpacked from its box, pieces set out on the board, because of the way he says Daniel's name.
Daniel mouths it to himself at night, hands languidly touching, mind straying. It feels strange on his lips as he copies Jack's inflexions, that knowing drawl and drag, but even the dry echo is sometimes all it takes.
Jack fills the flexible syllables with so much unsaid, understood and Daniel wonders sometimes if he's forgotten a time when it was said aloud, at length.
No one ever invented shorthand before speech, after all.

"Les 4 Vents" is our stunning home in the pretty and popular village of Cotignac in the green heart of Provence, France. Set in 3 acres of land (1.2 ha) the modern house has more than 320 sq. m (3445 sq. ft) of space and is filled with Russian art and Provencal wooden furniture to add charm. It contains 6 double en-suite bedrooms, and a large self-contained studio flat, there is plenty of room for one or two families or a large group of friends.
From the moment you enter through the wrought iron gates held by two stone pillars and drive down the gravel drive, you will know that you have arrived somewhere special. The large stone staircase flanked by large potted oleanders leads you up to the antique front door surrounded by young olive trees to make you feel welcome immediately. As you enter the front door you will see straight into the living room with its oversized wood burning stove and two large Danish designer sofas. The living room is connected to the large kitchen/diner by an open staircase and the two rooms together are the heart of the home in Spring, Autumn and Winter. Double doors from the living room lead onto a large uncovered terrace, wonderful for a simple breakfast in Summer, and there is a large covered terrace, overlooking the infinity pool and the valley, accessed from the kitchen. This is where most of the family meals take place, when the weather allows, at our two large granite tables and with a barbecue.
From the hallway there is access to a WC and stairs lead down to the lower level, which contains 5 en-suite double bedrooms and storage. Accessing the pool area from either the upper terrace or by exiting any of the bedrooms you will find an additional double bedroom, a large self-contained and beautifully furnished studio flat with room for 4, as well as the heart of the house in Summer: the pool house.
The 60 sq. m (645 sq. ft) open pool house has a complete kitchen with everything you need and dining space for 16 people. There is also a bathroom and shower, as well as an outdoor rainforest shower. There is a large entertaining space surrounding the salt water 18 x 7.5m infinity pool with far reaching views across the valley to the mountains on the other side of the village. On the covered terrace adjoining the master bedroom and bedroom number 2 there is an outdoor living room with sofas and tables. We have wooden sun loungers, deck chairs and a hammock as well as a smaller outdoor dining table hidden under a huge adjustable parasol. Naturally, you will also find a large Weber barbecue in the outdoor kitchen.
We are currently in the process of continuing the upgrades that we started last year and will continue to add new luxurious features to the house every year. Right now we're planting loads of new trees, bushes and shrubs including oleander, yuccas, agaves, pittosporum, rosemary, lavender, acacia, almond, and more olive trees to add to our existing olive grove and garden, which has been landscaped caringly over the last 10 years. We are also planting various climbers and other varieties. We are also building a semi-private garden with seating outside one of the bedrooms to complement the outdoor living room on the opposite side of the building. The garden will be done by the beginning of April.
The long driveway holds plenty of cars and doubles as a boules/petanque court and there is also a three car carport.
The property will be available for rentals from June 3rd, 2017.
- 6 double en-suite bedrooms, all with power showers, cupboards, a desk and a chair
- Large self-contained studio flat with a double bed and a double sleeper sofa. The small kitchen contains a fridge, Nespresso machine, toaster, electric kettle, and a two burner vitroceramic hob
- Fantastic pool area with 18 x 7.5m infinity edge saltwater pool
- Pool house with a full kitchen (see below), a kitchen island with 4 bar stools and dining space for 16 people
- Two full kitchens – one inside and one out in the pool house. Both have an American style fridge/freezer, an oven, a hob (vitroceramic in the indoor kitchen and a 2 burner induction hob in the pool house), a brand new Siemens dishwasher, a Nespresso machine, an electric kettle, a toaster, granite worktops and a large double or outsize sink. There is also a Weber barbecue outside both kitchens
- Stunning views over valley and mountain, as well as being surrounded by 3 acres of land with an olive grove
- Reversible (i.e. hot and cold) remote controlled air conditioning, making it ideal for year round use
- Underfloor heating in living room and kitchen/dining area
- Two covered terraces and one uncovered. The two covered terraces function as an outdoor dining area with two large granite tables put together, and the other as a living room with sofas and coffee tables
- Free Wi-Fi
- Three flat screen televisions (lounge, master bedroom and studio flat) with DVD players and Apple TV
- Sonos multi-room sound system and a portable Cambridge Audio unit for outside
- Cornilleau outdoor table tennis table
- Games for the pool area to keep kids and adults alike entertained and a hammock for when you just need to relax
- Outside bathroom and outdoor rainforest shower
- Boules/petanque court
- Landscaped grounds
- Games, DVD and book library
- Large Invicta wood burning oven in the lounge
- 3 car carport

Whats up with men?
what stereotypes and generalizations!
Men are ambitious creatures and dream bigger and brighter than you'd think.
all things we focus on. make sense .. 1. women.. we can't live without them..2 sex a way of life we can't live without 3. the other stuff 's essential .. u gotta think bout it...fuh me its my fam..making music..making money..my life
Sniper Scene
I don't think someone of your age is in a position to or has had enough experience with men to complain.
acctually i have a boyfriend that is like and idiot about sex so i was just wondering jeez people!(P.S.I'm acctually 14 not 13!)
we think about a lot of stuff, its just that women bother us sometimes (besides, theyre the one that ALWAYS want their bf to hang out with them ALL THE TIME) right, you guys know how we feel taking our time
Dur Wille Zer Macht
They don't ONLY focus on those things. Life would be pointless if all you cared about was sex, women, etc. And, lots of women think about sex and men just as much. They just hide it better.
Rarely online.
^ Agreed.
i agree with the statement: I don't think someone of your age is in a position to or has had enough experience with men to complain
yes [email protected]!

yep, i really realized that after my first crush that i was obsessed with.....and then i realize theres something better in life
Dur Wille Zer Macht
thats what they enjoy i guess
Happy New Year.
dude if you dont like men become a lesbian then this post is soo pointless.
Imma' get you Sucka!
sex is wat makes life better..im i right fellas..u get home tired from work or wat ever.u do.
call up gf or the wife and do yo thing..and it feels like theres no problems in the world in that amount of time...and lady's u know u wanna have sex as much or sometimes they wanted more than we do..right fellas .
doing what i do best
I'm old and married for nine years. Most of my friends are male and I like men overall more than women. Men are a lot more honest whereas I find women tend to play little manipulation games.
Because in this society men are taught to express their emotions in some rather dysfunctional ways, you do need to learn (and this takes time) to understand what they're expressing when they're expressing it. For instance, a lot of men can only express fear or sadness as anger. They're being honest, they are expressing that they have a problem, but even they might not realize what it is and you have to think, "He just blew up over nothing, but his cat is sick. So he's not really mad about what happened, he's worried about the cat."
Women are socialized to be interested in things I find boring, like clothes and gossiping. There's no reason for them really to be interested in that, it's just that that's what society tells them is "normal". Hence I'd rather hang around with men or women who consciously reject those societal roles.
I could go on and on for pages about this.
We do not ALWAYS focus on sex...We sometimes focus on the build up to sex..Very climatic. XD
That's a joke, I won't lie, I am a dude, so occasionally a sinful sexual image will force it's way into my head, it takes all of my godly will and power to suppress it.
Though they say a man thinks about sex every 15 or so seconds, that's a blatent lie, I've gone days on end without so much as the word enterring my mind. I spend most of my time focused on videogames, my daily schedule etc, i really do try and block out those sorts of things...they make me feel dirty. What can i say, i'm messed up.
ok you want to know why men think about sex. Think for a minute how you dress ok.
Women, "Hi I am a female and I wear extremely tight jeans that show a lot of skin. My shirts are short and tight allowing my breasts to hang out. How come when I go up to men they always think about sex" Well DUH LOOK AT THE WAY YOU DRESS!!!
This post sounds as dumb as a man making a post why he cant get girls
Men,"Hi I am a man, I dont brush my teeth and I dont know how to match my clothes properly. My hair is always messy and I stink. Whats wrong with women how come they always avoid me?" See how that sounds.
Imma' get you Sucka!
Well I find this post reasonable. Out of the males out there who are into that, I personally don't go for those things all throughout my life. I find women too complicated for me and yeah sex is in my mind by I intend to prevent myself from thinking about it but you really can't prevent thinking about sex now can't ya? I try hard not to. Even if I have time to be interested in girls, the girls are not interested in me whatsoever. All the girls I know have a boyfriend or having the excuse to say they have a boyfriend. Girls simply don't like me and I simply don't like girls. So you know a guy who is me that doesn't really go for such things. Now the question is:
What is up with women?
and no I'm not gay if someone thinks so.
lick me

It's 1776 in America again. The King rules in his own self interest and that of his fellow ruling elites without concern for the lives of his subjects. Most people put up with the rule of a tyrant who lives in a far away capital. They do so for one reason – inertia. The more abusive and capricious the rule of the King and his ruling elite friends, the more he lives off the work of the people, the more he stacks the deck for his friends, the more resigned his subjects become ….. to a point. At some point, tolerating the status quo begins to look as dangerous as rebelling against it. A revolution is brewing.
The Loyalists, those whose stature, power and privilege give them a vested interest in continuing the King's rule, are beginning to worry that the Revolutionists could actually upset their apple cart.
It appears the backers of Hillary Clinton, those who benefit most from the status quo, are running scared. The Loyalists saw the Brexit vote and it scared them to death. They just don't understand. How could all those "little people" wield so much power? Privilege is ours, not theirs, the Loyalists believe. The Elites rationalize every lie, every misdeed, every crime, all for fear of losing their status. To every exposé of the corrupt practices of the ruling elite they react by deflecting to another subject or by using another lie that their "journalist" friends will legitimize. They refuse to answer questions about significant issues. They sling mud and bring the debate to the lowest level. They pretend that every fact, not in their favor, is a part of a vast conspiracy. They refuse to accept the reality that the ruling elite of our country have weakened our economy, our ethics, our culture, and our position in the world. The Loyalists want things to continue on, just as they are so that they can retain their privilege.
It seems to me that a majority of the people are fed up. They are tired of a double standard. They are tired of the debasing of our society. They are tired of each new incentive for people to work less while those who must work harder are ever more taxed and regulated. Most are now willing to gamble that if is worth risk of some things being broken if the eventual result is a more free, honest and prosperous country for all, not just the elites.
Ronald Reagan asked the right question, "….are you better off than you were four years ago?…" I think many people today are asking a variation of that question, answering "No" and concluding that we can't continue on our current path. If that is true, the current privileged class could be in for a rude awakening this election day.

When I was a medical student, Hydrochlorthiazide ( HCTZ ) was already in use as an anti-hypertensive agent. I remember using alot of it in UHKL, as it was cheap and fairly effective. We were using HCTZ at 50 mg daily. It is true that at that dose, we also saw some patients with hypokalemia, and also impaired glucose tolerance ( those were the days before pre-diabetes ). There were quite a few clinical studies then to support the teaching and use of HCTZ. These were small studies. The larger studies tended to use chlorthalidone and some indapamide.
So it came as somewhat of a surprise to me, when Novartis first came out with an ARB+ diuretic combination, and they chose HCTZ as the diuretic. I remember telling the Novartis rep covering me that your company had made a bad choose. They should have chosen chlorthalidone.
There is a paper now in JACC ( Journal of the American College of Cardiology ), Feb 1st 2011, examining the use of HTCZ as first line in the management of hypertension, as in the current NHLBI guidelines. The paper entitled "Antihypertensive efficacy of HCTZ as evaluated by ABPM. A meta-analysis of randomized trials". J Am Coll Cardiol 2011; 57:590-600. by Dr Frank Messerli et al. is a meta-analysis of 14 large hypertension trials, in the use of HCTZ evaluated by ABPM. The authors concluded that HCTZ at the dose of 12.5-25 mmHg hardly lowers BP. One will need to use 50 mg daily to have any significant effect. And we all know that at HCTZ 50 mg daily, we may run into the side effects of hypokalemia, insulin resistance and also sudden cardiac death.
One wonders why many of the large pharmas, including Novartis, Sanofi Aventis, Boeringher Ingelheim, and Pfizer, had gone on to add HCTZ 12.5-25 mg to their ARB? If what Dr Messerli says is true, then adding the HCTZ would have minimal effect and may in fact be viewed as a marketing strategy, of having you use a diuretic as first-line, and the convincing the practitioner that the logical step next is to have add an ARB i the form of a HCTZ + ARB combo. Knowing full well that HCTZ at 25 mg may do no good. That may not be true if the diuretic used initially was indapamide or chlorthalidone. It would have been better if the large pharmas, hoping to promote combo pills as a firstline, to have an ARB + Chlorthalidone combination, or an ARM + indapamide combination. I suspect that there are such combos on the way. Maybe we have not yet seen it in Malaysia.
I suppose we must keep watching the scene and not take anything for granted. Combination pills are a good concept, but one must also have the right combination. Dr Messerli, seem to suggest that there may be some advantage in a HCTZ + Renin blocker. Early studies seem to suggest that. Of course Novartis have launch their Renin blocker ( aliskerin ). We will need to see more work and results before we are convinced ourselves.
For the moment, it would seem that small dose HCTZ may avoid side effects, but may not be efficacious. So all the Co-ARB drugs may not be as effective as the plain ARB. I think we will be seeing more ARB-chlorthalidone combo pills ans we will certainly watch development in the HCTZ + renin blocker field.
