Is the European economy stable enough to justify a move back into domestic names as a play on the recovery or are equities with international exposure still necessary to balance risk and access growth?
The most recent data from analyst Markit shows that manufacturing activity in the eurozone grew for the first time in two years during the month of July, adding to evidence of economic recovery on the continent.
Hargreaves Lansdown senior investment officer Adrian Lowcock points out that while Markit's research also indicated that France, Spain and Italy's economies continued to shrink, each showed bright spots.
The services sector moved closer to stabilisation in Spain and strong results were seen in Italy during July, says Lowcock, while France's output also reached a 17-month high.
Confidence in European equities has returned in 2013, according to Lowcock, with European markets proving one of the best performing regions over the past 12 months.
The FTSE Europe Ex UK index has returned 36.03 per cent ahead of 16.55 per cent from the FTSE All Share. However Europe remains behind global markets, where it has been since the financial crisis.
The European Commission's economic sentiment indicator saw an increase for the third consecutive month during July rising by 1.2 points in the eurozone and 2.4 points for the EU.
Importantly the ESI shows signs of improvement for the European consumer, with the uptick in the consumer confidence in the euro area "improving markedly" for the eighth consective month.
BNY Mellon chief economist Richard Hoey believes that the economic decline in Europe has "ended" and expects the region can now return to growth, albeit at a "slow pace."
Some European equity managers are returning to Europe's domestic names as a play on the early recovery. However others argue that European stocks with international exposure continue to offer the best opportunities.
Lowcock looks to Europe's global brands that are able to get the best of both worlds from improvements in both the domestic and international economies, while the European recovery attempts to stabilise.
He says: "With the banking system still heavily indebted any recovery in Europe is likely to be slow and there will be some bumps along the road. A sustained recovery will need growth to return across the region, not just in Germany.
"However investors shouldn't ignore the region, there is a difference between the health of the economy and stockmarkets. Investors in Europe are able to access strong global brands which are financially robust and in a position to benefit from growth anywhere in the world as well as at home."
Barclays chief investment officer for Europe Kevin Gardiner views the signs that the recovery is building in Europe as an opportunity to increase exposure to domestically focused areas of the market.
He says: "The eurozone and UK economies have been surprisingly positively of late. Last week's business survey data has added weight to the view that the region is beginning to show signs of economic life.
"We, therefore, retain the view that investors should be increasing their exposure to the domestically focused areas of the market."
At the same time, Gardiner acknowledges the risk that the economic recovery in Europe will not "bear fruit" and recommends domestic names be balanced with stocks that are less reliant on the economic cycle.
Gardiner looks to the "tailwind" from emerging markets exposure offered by world leading manufacturer of prescription frames and sunglasses, Luxottica, as an example.
He says: "Emerging markets exposure is a strong tailwind for Luxottica, not just in terms of the number of consumers, but also the potential for the growing middle class to move up to higher priced brands."
However Gardiner adds that domestic European economy is also "material contributor" to Luxottica, while the US accounts for the majority of revenues.
He says: "Luxottica recorded growth of 14 per cent year on year in Europe – including 11 pe growth in the Mediterranean."
Scottish Widows Investment Partnersip European fund manager Catie Wearmouth describes her portfolio as "very international", with some emphasis on emerging market growth.
The £72.9m Swip European fund has feautured a number of consumer discretionary names with significant emerging market exposure for some time now, including Nestle, BMW and Swatch Group, says Wearmouth.
More recently the manager has bought into value stories that are also able to tap into the global recovery, particularly through their exposure to the US.
She says: "Volvo and Randstad are two companies we have bought recently that fall into the value segment. This is where I am more positioned for a global recovery that will help lift Europe."
"When I think of Volvo I don't really think of it as European. Essentially it has significant exposure to North America, Brazil and construction out in China."
Staffing company Randstad does have domestic exposure to Holland and France in particular, but it was the company's high component of US sales that proved attractive, says Wearmouth.
She adds: "We took the view a couple of months back that we wanted a cyclical staffing-type company that would recover as soon as the US showed some really concrete signs of recovery."

Chelsea McClure was originally due to give birth Dec. 26, but still hoped, for the duration of her pregnancy, to have a New Year's baby.
"I didn't think it would actually happen ... that was my goal," the Shippensburg, Pa., mom said after enduring about 24 hours of labor at Chambersburg (Pa.) Hospital.
Mission accomplished.
Weighing in at 7 pounds, 15.3 ounces, Ciara Emma-Rose Bard was not only the first baby born in Franklin County, Pa., but McClure's second child was the first born in the Tri-State area, according to hospital officials.
"It was so much more difficult than my first (child)," McClure, 19, said Sunday afternoon, a little more than 14 hours after she gave birth to Ciara at 1:32 a.m., according to the hospital.
McClure said she had hoped for a boy after her firstborn, also a girl, was born 17 months ago, but she and her boyfriend, Jonathan Bard, are happy nonetheless.
"I plan on having more, just not anytime soon," McClure said. "I think two is enough right now."
McClure said Ciara was more than 2 pounds heavier at birth than her first child, and attributed her prolonged labor to the larger size. McClure said she went into labor five times with her first child.
While McClure was a little past due, Matthew and Anna Kent Gorsuch's first child arrived Sunday afternoon at City Hospital in Martinsburg, W.Va., a few weeks earlier than expected.
Making her debut at 2:34 p.m., Elizabeth Catherine Kent Gorsuch weighed 7 pounds, 1.4 ounces, her father said. The Martinsburg couple's child was the first baby to be born in the Eastern Panhandle in 2012, according to hospital officials. Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Ranson, W.Va., was "quiet" Sunday, officials said.
Gorsuch, 33, said his wife's 2 a.m. "wake-up call" Sunday was a little bit of a surprise, given that she was due Jan. 21.
After a little more than 12 hours of labor, Anna Gorsuch, 41, said Sunday evening that she was feeling "really good" after having a smooth delivery.
Anna Gorsuch said it was really special for her to give birth at City Hospital because she knows the staff there from working with other expecting mothers as a midwife.

oh god oh man oh god oh man
Well, there's not much to say, honestly. It's not like I can really say that this in particular is a defining moment of black metal's ultimate descent into decadence and irrelevancy, but I'm struck with an unbelievable level of disappointment just the same. Not for the book itself, really- I mean, what else should one expect- but in the idea that metalheads are still so infatuated with the symbols and signs of their subculture, devoid of any meaning or significance, that they would gladly pay for a bloody, recently-shit turd like this one if it looked like a hand throwing the horns. The same goes for the mentioned Sasha Grey movie- Christ, put all the mentioned characters in one room together and a denial of a "hipster motive" becomes the sort of foxhole atheism that just isn't useful. None of it's going to be good; I just hope that most people don't have the motivation to investigate them further.
One good point: it led me to this delightful thing.

"a Contributing Editor for The Believer, and a Music Curator at MoMA/PS1." I had no idea, but it makes so much fucking sense. Oh, the degeneracy. Oh, the decadence.ReplyDelete
One benefit of focusing on the music itself instead of extramusical aesthetics is that a reasoned analysis of compositional choices will never be co-opted by the people discussed above like inverted crosses and corpse paint have been. I suspect this is because such people are musically ignorant and interested in music only as a vehicle for visual aesthetics and vapid philosophy. An interview between Mr. Stosuy and Liturgy I found on Pitchfork's front page exemplifies this - finding an actual mention of the music itself as opposed to pop culture or Cliff-Notes Nietzsche is a challenge: http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/8761-death-to-black-metal/ReplyDelete
@Jute: You're right, and I raised this point in the WITTR review I did a while ago--Stosuy is really reluctant to talk about the actual music. Though I will say that nobody has really co-opted corpsepaint, except as an ironic gesture--and irony means they're still afraid of it.ReplyDelete

Am I missing out on something? Because I've never even heard of this book before. And following the advice in the post, I am reluctant to investigate further. Though, by the looks of it, it at least seems like it's not about the whole early 90s Norwegian black metal scene saga, which unfortunately says a lot about the lamentable state of literature on black metal.ReplyDelete

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora believes that the Chicago Bears and Washington Redskins could end up in a "bidding war" over soon-to-be free agent WR Vincent Jackson.
There have been so many rumors related Jackson in the last few days but we're doing our best to keep up. At this point in time, Chicago and Washington look like the clear favorites but you can't rule out the Bills, Bucs, Rams, and 49ers just yet.
Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes that Jackson could be too old for them pay him the kind of money that he's going to get on the open market.
San Diego is still lurking in the background and Jackson has said that he would like to return, but he'll have to take a reasonable discount to do so.

My first blog, mindXposed, was intended to be an avenue for my thoughts. Looking at it now, I cringe at some posts and think, "Why'd I ever post that??" and for the most part I am not happy with it.
A lot has happened since I stopped writing that blog. Around the time of my last post, which was in November 2009, I had just turned 24 and got engaged. My wedding date was set for 2011. I was childless and had intentions of going back to school for a second degree. But as this blog title suggests, life is full of the unexpected. You can plan everything out down to what underwear you're going to wear every day for the next year, but things happen in life that can't be controlled or predicted.
About two weeks after my last post, I found out I was pregnant. My life, needless to say, has never been the same since. Rather than a 2011 wedding, I got married this past April.
The wedding was perfect, thanks to help from our parents and the support of our wedding party. Four short months later, our son was born in August, a week earlier than expected.
We named him Jamari Isiah. He is now a month old, and crying for attention more than ever! He is my new purpose for living and the reason for creating a new blog. My old blog seemed to have no direction, but now I have reasons to write. Who knows if this one will have more substance than the last, if it'll be more interesting, or if I'll stick with this one longer.
There's going to be no expectations for this blog...just as there shouldn't be any in life. All I know is I have a new outlook on everything. There are many new beginnings in my life...being a newlywed and a new mom. I'm at the start of my adulthood. I am a parent still being parented. I am still trying to figure out myself and my future in the midst of diaper changes and loads of laundry.
As my life unfolds, I hope you'll sit back and enjoy reading all about it!

Mikes Creek, Arkansas, US
|Usual Difficulty
|III-IV (for normal flows)
|6 Miles
|Avg. Gradient
|120 fpm
|Max Gradient
|270 fpm
The combination of Steep banks and lots trees tend to clog the creek with wood from time to time, so keep look out.
The creek at the put-in in Ozone is very small but picks up a little volume as it heads toward the gorge.
The main drops are in the first mile consisting of four 10-15 foot waterfalls and a slide and a few boulder drops.
After the Puliam Creek enters on the left the gradient subdues and it is 4.5 miles to the confluence with Murray Creek, then another 4 miles to the Little Piney takeout.
Look for 2" or more rain within the last 6 to 12 hours.

Boulder StartUp Week Kicks Off This Week To Packed Rooms
In it's 6th year, the Boulder StartUp Week is brimming with enthusiasm, excitement and a lot of hungry, hopeful startups.
Boulder StartUp has been gaining a lot of momentum since six years ago. Catching up with San Fransisco, Austin and Los Angeles, Boulder is making a name for itself as a hub for the startup community.
The startup community is, in general, full of energy. It's a necessary trait if you expect to get through the hardships ahead. StartUps are not unlike early explorers, ready to tackle the world with optimism and a little ignorance of just how difficult some of the challenges may be.
Fortunately, the resources offered through events like the Boulder StartUp Week (and next month's Longmont StartUp Week) offer the sentiment of Gale Snoats (Raising Arizona): "but I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness."
Building a successful business from concept to world-domination has a lot of late nights, long days and hair-pulling stress, but thanks to the 200 plus events this week in Boulder, there's sure to be something for everyone in this industry.
My personal favorites are the Boulder Open Coffee which is a bi-monthly event already but will be off the charts in attendance and energy this week. Also on my list this week:
• GrowthHacking: How To Be A Technical Marketer,
• Angel or VC Investors (It Takes Two To Tango: The Working Relationships Between Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors)
• and The Content Ceiling: How To Get Attention In An Overflowing World Of Content Marketing
There's plenty, plenty more. Like noted above, more than 200 events throughout this week.
To jump in on this before it's too late (it's already started as of this writing), either just go to Boulder now and start looking around, or go to the website, Boulder.StartUp.CO
While you won't find New Focus Films in any of the panels this year, you will find me, the founder of N.F.F. in attendance at many of the events. Next year, however, I'll be a speaker/panelist/feature presenter, if I'm not at Cannes Film Festival, of course.

so the talk at st edmunds went ok last night. i don't think that i said anything too dumb, so that counts as a big result in my book :-)
in prep for the service though, i skimmed back through the opening chapter of david dark's 'everyday apocalypse' [i thought that a question of Christian Art vs. art made by christians might have come up, and dark has some good things to say about that.]
anyway, just re-reading the bits in the book that i'd underlined was kind-of-thrilling - i'd forgotten just what a great book it is, and how important it had been to me the first time i'd read it...
here's a selection -
"We were made for something better than we're getting and whatever it is we're settling for..."
"The present work concerns itself with all manner of media that highlights, exposes or lampoons the moral bankruptcy of our imaginations while teasing us toward a better way of looking at, and dwelling within, the world..."
"i'm grateful for and in dire need of whatever art can keep me awake and alive to the mystery, whatever keeps me paying attention, whatever reminds me that none of us (and no ideology) are possessors of the final say..."
"to reimagine the now is our work and our pleasure. look hard. it is at hand..."
Monday, September 19, 2011
thank you, david dark :-)

Get The Best Value For Your Money In Auto Repairs
When you deal with auto repairs, you may feel inexperienced, frustrated, and lost. If that's how you feel, you can change it! The following information can help you figure out how to handle things the next time there is an issue.
Do not underestimate the importance of having an emergency kit in your car. Include a spare tire, a jack, a battery charger and a container full of gas. In the event that your car were to break down in the middle of the night on a deserted road, bring blankets, batteries, and a flashlight.
When choosing a mechanic, ask if they've worked on your model of car before. If they say that they have, this should be a good indicator that they have some idea of what needs to be done to get your car back into shape.
Keep all of your car records handy. One good place to keep them is in a folder in the trunk right above your spare tire. Auto repair professionals likely will want to see those records. This will help them assess the problem quicker and more precisely.
Keep a record of all the repairs you make on your vehicle. If you experience future problems with your vehicle, this past record will help the mechanic in diagnosing the problems. Your car problems may be harder to find and you may have higher repair costs without the records.
Beware mechanics who charge you for repairs which are unnecessary. A good mechanic should let you know if they noticed parts that are starting to get worn down and will need to be replaced soon but they should not replace the part without your approval. If an auto technician performs unnecessary repairs or repairs that were not agreed upon beforehand, don't return to them for further services.
Check with your mechanic to see of they have experience working with the make of your vehicle. Different cars require different skill sets. If you're not sure, it may be worth it to pay extra at the dealer.
Ask about labor rates and prices before giving the keys to a shop. Fees can be hidden and need to be detailed. Know where the estimated prices come from. Some stops estimate repair times according to what the manufacturer suggests. Repairs that seem minor may take all day long.
Warning Lights
You should know and pay attention to your dashboard's warning lights. These warning lights are meant to help alert you to potential problems. If you simply overlook them for months on end, there is a chance your vehicle might sustain irreparable damage.
Keep in mind that any DIY auto repairs can be dangerous. Make sure there is somebody nearby to assist if things go wrong. Invest in high quality tools that won't break on you. In particular, only use the best equipment for changing tires. The jack has to be strong enough to keep the car secure above you. A hydraulic floor jack featuring approved stands is best for these situations.
If you discover a serious problem on your new car, be sure to contact the manufacturer. There may have been a recall on the car already, or one may be needed. Many times, the manufacturer will repair it for you.
Now you've gleaned a bit of an education on car repairs. Be steadfast when you are dealing with your car problems, and do not let any mechanic swindle you. Continue on if you'd like to know more on the subject of getting vehicles repaired.

Bring in the Vikings!
What a fantastic first topic of the year we had. The children have settled well into Year 1 and have developed in confidence with their new routines and expectations. We are very proud of how well they are working. We hope you enjoyed looking at our scarecrows at our festival on Friday and saw all the brilliant work we did in DT to design and make them. If you missed it, we will be sending home our mini scarecrows for you to share at home. During the topic, the children worked really hard writing sentences about Betty and Harry's wedding in English and have been developing their calculation skills in Maths. We even heard some children saying they were going to ask for a purple pen for Christmas as they have been learning to respond to the marking the teachers do in their books.
We will now be starting our new topic which is… The Vikings. We will be learning about Viking lifestyles and presenting our findings through art and writing which we will share with you at our open evening just before half term.
A few bits and pieces:
-Thursday is our trip to Bishop's Wood so please send children to school in jogging bottoms, coats and warm socks as we will be outside for most of the day.
-The children change their reading books themselves every morning, please help them by reminding them to change it if they need to and it's always worth a check at the end of the day to check they have got a new book and that it's the right colour. Thank you for the brilliant effort people put into their homework last week. Homework in the yellow books is however optional and reading practise is what makes the most significant impact on your child's progress.
-Should there be anything you wish to discuss please do not hesitate to ask any member of the team.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs James, Mrs Freeman, Mrs Morgan and Mrs Reid x

Purpose: :
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of astigmatic arcuate keratotomies using femtosecond laser (IntraLase, AMO) for post keratoplasty astigmatism.
Methods: :
In a retrospective study, 8 eyes of 8 patients were operated by astigmatic arcuate keratotomies to manage post keratoplasty astigmatism. Surgical procedure was performed using the femtosecond IntraLase FS 2 laser (IntraLase corp.). Paired arcuate keratotomies were done on the graft button. Incision parameters were decided upon the Hanna arcitome surgical protocol. Before, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after laser surgery, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cylinder and keratometry values measured with the Orbscan (Bausch and Lomb) camera were assessed. Incisions were analysed using OCT Visante (Zeiss) and a confocal microscope (Confoscan4).
Results: :
In all eyes, femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomies were performed without complication. At 1 year postoperatively, mean BCVA improved from 0.54 ± 0.17 LogMAR (L) to 0.44 ± 0.23L. The difference was statistically significant (p= 0,047). Visual acuity increased for 5 eyes, remained stable for 2 eyes and decreased for 1 eye. Mean cylinder decreased significantly (p=0.001) from 10.6 ± 2.6 Dioptries (D) to 5.5 ± 3.8D. Cylinder decreased for 6 eyes, remained stable for 1 eye and increased for 1 eye. OCT Visante showed depth incisions and Confocal images showed stromal wound epithelial invasion.
Conclusions: :
Femtosecond laser astigmatic arcuate keratotomy procedure was safe and effective for treating post keratoplasty astigmatism.

a response to the US saying, count sheep when you can't sleep
By Anel Flores
it's late
I don't know
where you got the idea
you were invited to this party
you tangled us up
in your shadowy breath
the smell of hot beer
you talked into my ear
your red eyes
your smile sly
as you look out to the side
like you looked at her
when you took her home
drunker than you were
you said
to the table of butches
they didn't laugh as deep as you
they didn't laugh at all
but you slapped her on the shoulder
expected us to cheer you on
the gall
come on dude
you said
who the fuck are you
you're talking to the wrong man
I thought
my skin crawled
you laughed loud enough for everyone
she didn't laugh at all
my chest fluffed
my neck got hot
I pushed down on my feet
to stand up
everything came back
the smell that came from his open pants
the sweat
the shadow my body kneeled in
the way my head screamed sin
when he told me to open up
"o vas a quedar aquí, en mexico conmigo."
in the desert I'm in
my soul folded
then broke
accepted him
in my mouth
imagined my lips
thorned like mami's rosas
and cut in him
imagined drinking a coca cola
next to a christmas tree
a woman in a business suit
smoking a thin
and a blond
since I never had one
to begin
I thought
and thought
of nice things
of dreams
where there is water to drink
books to read
all I could do was believe
Until you slapped my back
and it all came back
in a different package
the smell
that nasty fucking smell
my throat gagging
my tongue growing into a knife
my feet on fire
my chest blowing up
soul unfolding
and I laughed in your face
and spit
this isn't a tiny bit of what it feels like to be treated like shit
I said
now pick up your pants
before I cut off your fucking dick
your story makes us sick
we don't give a shit
now tell me
where is this one
woman you tell of
from your drunken nights
we have a show for her delight
for some it may be fright
hold on tight
close your mouth
damn your breath
get down
I'm gonna turn out the light
sleep tight
good night
This City is a Poem. April 23, 2016. (http://sanantoniopoetics.tumblr.com/post/143282370909/nightmare)
Although I am doing the Tejana on the Loose Reading at UCLA Thursday, I will also be presenting at the AWP conference with a chingona group of Tejas-Califas writers on Friday ! I can't wait! See you there!
F250. "¡Chicana! Power! A Firme Tejana-Califas Reading." Room 410, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Guadalupe García Montaño, Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, Anel Flores, Emmy Pérez, Laurie Ann Guerrero). With a brown fist in the air, chanting "¡Sí Se Puede!" these mujeres bring la palabra. This is a reading by fierce Chicana poets stemming from Texas and Califas. They exist in this frontera breaking barriers and re-building bridges. They are proud to walk this poetic path. Their writings reflect their politics, beliefs, and lived experiences existing within el otro lado. They build bridges within all their communities: Chicana, LGBTQ, y más colores. ¡Que Viva Xicanisma! ¡Viva! (With many thanks to Verónica Reyes for organizing, preparing, and submitting this panel.)

No good
21 fished
I had a bad day. Drew peg 32 Island Pool. Can be a good F1 area, but weathers changed and the fish were likely to follow the wind.... which they did. Had a frustrating day, had 18 F1's and 1 small carp for 43lb. However lost eight fish, all hook pulls, not all foul hooked. Should of easily won section.... "bad angling". Should of fished a tidy pole match, as the peg was worth 70lb all day long.
Anyway made my day when Liam Dennick won the match with 150lb.
Venue fished quite well. See the weights below.
I can honestly see the venue record going this year. The venue is awesome.

DevOps functionally is an extension of Agile methodologies, but it is also more of a culture or philosophy. You can adopt DevOps without knowing anything about Agile methodologies, as there is more to DevOps than just your software development lifecycle (SDLC), but it may be harder. In a way, Agile certainly compliments DevOps with its iterative processes more than other SDLC's, such as the Waterfall model. You can still be successful without following Agile methods, but software development projects typically realize more successes with Agile practices.
Individuals and Enterprises can make payment for the training through 3 different modes such as –

I've seen intrepid commuters pedaling their way over the flats on Highway 529 between Everett and Marysville.
I've even given a thumbs up to the ubercyclists gutting their way over Stevens Pass on U.S. 2.
But bicycles on the interstate?
I didn't realize that was allowed until I saw a sign near Olympia (and then other spots) telling cyclists to exit.
The Washington State Department of Transportation has a website that lists where you can and can't bike when it comes to state highways. The "Washington State Highways Closed to Bicycles" page is at www.wsdot.wa.gov/bike/closed.htm.
There, you'll find a link to an interactive Google map. The red lines mean no cycling. Purple means trails are nearby. Blue marks alternate routes.
Much of urban Puget Sound is off-limits. No portion of I-405 is open to bikes, for example.
But south of Olympia, you're largely home free on I-5 until you hit Vancouver.
You can bike on I-90, too, from Issaquah to Spokane (except for a temporary detour just east of Snoqualmie Pass due to construction).
In Snohomish County, I-5 is off-limits to bicyclists until you hit Marysville. From there, you can pedal all the way up to Mount Vernon before you have to get off and take a short detour.

I'm usually not overly trendy with my fashion, but I sometimes try to incorporate a thing or two here and them into my mostly classic and slightly preppy wardrobe. Insert wedge sneakers. I've been on the fence about them for months, but about 2 weeks ago I ordered some. I wore them yesterday, and was instantly in love! They're comfy, hip and dare I say…kind of sexy. I got a few compliments on them too!! I went cheapy (in case I really didn't like them) and got the gold-ie ones from target online. Has anyone else tried this trend?

Stainless Steel Hammered Tumbler, Gold – 16 fl oz.
Any kind of accessory really…and this is such a gorgeous yet functional one…I couldn't pass it up! Those who know me, know that I can't survive a day with a coffee and my coke zero (with a straw of course!!), otherwise I wouldn't make it through the day. So if you have to drink something that makes your breathe most assuredly un-pleasant, then at least it can come out of something really cute!
paperless post15 Nov
As I have indicated in a previous post , I am a purist in a lot of different ways. One additional way is that I love, love, love snail mail notes. Handwritten thank you notes, typed invitations, or even just a little note to say hello! My first job ever was at a famous card store, and I continued to work there part-time for years (way too long in my opinion now!). No wonder I love an actual card!! However, in the age of technology it's becoming more and more old-fashioned for me to send out my note cards. There are still some people who appreciate my cards by mail, ie older people, but for the more modern people….I introduce you to Paperless Post. It's like actual fabulous cards, that you can send electronically (not anything like a bloody e-card…blahhh). They even have Kate Spade cards, and anyone who knows me knows that I heart Kate Spade (even some Jack Spade pieces…my babe just got a cutie Jack Spade tote bag). And so, if only for the K Spade pieces, I am very happy for this new find of mine. Make sure you check it out!
a seemingly unlikely pair11 Nov
I hope I am not the only one who has heard of the alliance of Target with Neiman Marcus for a holiday collection. I am too stoked! Anyone who knows me knows that I L.O.V.E. Target, and even though my wallet doesn't fully appreciate Neiman Marcus, I still manage to get them to play together every once in a while! LOL! But this holiday collection…talk about mixing high and low. And the few items that I've seen from the collection…simply gore!
a love of love28 Oct
Pride and prejudice is one of my favorite movies, it is one of my guilty pleasures! I love any period movie really, but the romantic ones have a special place in my heart. I love the pomp and circumstance, the fantasy, and the idealism. It allows me a brief reprieve from life, and an opportunity to dream of a different time. What's your guilty pleasure?

Welcome to the World, Mac!
A few days late I know but only just getting round to welcoming my little baby boy, Mackenzie Kyle Pelling. He's the most adorable, cutest baby boy I could ever have imagined and it was love at first sight.
After being bought into the world four weeks early and pulled out by caeserean section he's a tough little cookie and perfect in every way. He weighed 5lb 9oz and was born in the very early hours of 18th July at 3:50am.
He was allowed to stay with me in the ward at the hospital. The midwives were lovely but I couldn't wait to get home! He doesn't like to sleep by himself though, he'd happily sleep tucked up in mine or his dad's arms but as soon as you put him down he realises he's by himself and starts to whinge. And it's too heartbreaking not to give in to him. Especially when I was in the hospital and didn't sleep for 2 nights because of it. Still, Daniel was lovely enough to let me sleep last night and he took over with the cuddling/feeding/changing while I caught up with some rest.
So anyway, welcome to the world, Mackenzie, my perfect, special little boy! I love you with every beat of my heart xxxx
It's started sooner than expected
Blogging from a hospital ward is something I wasn't expecting to do, especially four weeks early. Still, nature has taken its course and my waters decided to break this morning. I've not felt any pain yet which is good but I don't want to spend too long in here so hope things progress soon. Nervous, excited and completely unprepared but still, all will be fine I hope. Fingers crossed please my friends and even those who don't know me, wish us luck! Cheers, LH (35 weeks and 6 days)

You have to be careful if you are a Christian how you phrase a question concerning the Bible. If you simply ask how the flood of Noah covered the earth, you will quickly get a response that suggests that you doubt the Bible's accuracy. That is wrong.
Christians should never be discouraged from asking questions about how God works. Yet that is what we do to our youth. We tell them to not question "The Bible", when what we really mean is "don't question our interpretation of the Bible". BIG DIFFERENCE.
Why should young college age adults come to church when we say the world is only 6000 years old or that the earth was completely covered with water 5000 years ago, when they see and hear convincing evidence in their classrooms that those "interpretations", (there's that word again), can't possibly be true.
As a person who has studied and taught science most of my adult life, I have examined the scriptures and adapted my interpretations to where I believe there is NO conflict with what the book of Genesis says and what we now know to be true in science. I could write volumes on how God was right "in the beginning" and how man was wrong in how he read His Word describing it, but that is not the point of this article. FULL POST

I read this definition of atheism on the internet and it made me start to think about what it is saying.
"Atheism may be defined as the belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything, and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs. Makes perfect sense" .
This was credited to an anonymous donor but it raises a serious question about how
everything began.
The Bible says that the universe began by God calling it into being with a spoken
word. Science describes the process as a result of the "Big Bang" in which an
unimaginable amount of energy was suddenly created from the emptiness of space
and became the "stuff" the universe came from. Who provided the energy?
Scientists today will all agree that matter can be created from nothing in a device that
causes high energy particles to collide into one another. When this happens other particles are created that eventually decay into pure energy. The process can be reversed by injecting pure energy into a system and two particles can be created from the emptiness of space that exist for a short time before re-combining in a burst of energy that destroys both particles. They call this creating matter from nothing. FULL POST

I once heard a philosopher say,
"The only things that are real are those things that do not change and are eternal". I used to know what "real" meant. It was all that I can see, touch, smell, taste, and hear. Life was simple then.
I read in newspapers and science journals now that "reality" is an illusion. One article even said nothing is real, and that everything we see and experience is a hologram at the edge of the "real" universe, which is actually a black hole.
I find myself searching for reality every time I watch the news on TV. Things that I used to think were true are no longer true, according to news commentators. Religion is no longer the foundation of our country and our beliefs. God is a fantasy, according to
prominent scientists, and the universe really did come into existence without any help or cause. And it is more important to be "politically correct" than to be factually correct or right. You are no longer allowed to speak the "truth" because there are "many truths" and your version may offend someone. FULL POST

Where is God? That is the question Atheists, and Christians, sometimes ask when it appears that the world is crumbling around us. Anti-religious science will say that He is nowhere to be seen in the universe, as if the artist of a great painting would paint himself into the picture.
Such arguments suggest that God is subject to the very physical laws that He created when He created everything. God doesn't break the very laws He created, except to perform miracles.
That is the old argument of applying Newtonian physics to the problem when it was replaced by Einstein's Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics almost a hundred years ago. Most who use that argument against God's existence, desperately hold on to that paradigm even though it is obsolete when applied to matters of cosmic proportions.
If God were in this universe where would He be? We have to go to the frontiers of today's science to get an answer. M-Theory, an offshoot of String Theory says that there is a larger universe of 11 dimensions that encloses our 3 dimensional universe.
If God were in this universe, He have to be as a 3 dimensional entity, greatly restricting Him in His presence. It would be like a 3 dimensional painter entering the 2 dimensional world of one of his paintings. God did just that 2000 years ago when He came to earth as Jesus. FULL POST

Part 3: The Worldwide Flood, Explained
Any explanation for what caused the catastrophe we call "Noah's Flood" must necessarily take into account other events that were recorded around the world at the same time. There is now no doubt that 5200 years ago, something happened that caused glaciers to instantly freeze in the Andes and Alps, changed the Sahara Desert from wetlands to one of the driest places on earth, and caused civilization all over the world to record that a great flood took place.
There are also the many descriptions in the book of Genesis and the Sumerian "Flood Epic" that the flood was accompanied by torrential rain, earthquakes, dark skies with thunder and lightning, devastation beyond belief, and an after effect that lasted for
months after the waters receded. In both accounts, there was only one survivor.
When I began researching this phenomenon some years ago, one of the first sources that I imagined for something of this magnitude was a direct comet impact with planet earth. My first thoughts were that such an impact would have the effects described above but where would the impact zone be. At the time I was considering the Black Sea Basin as the probably site of the flood because two researchers from Princeton had discovered that it also contained a catastrophic flood around 7000 years ago.

The Location of Noah's Flood
5200 years ago something monumental happened to planet earth that changed climate and mankind forever. That event, I strongly believe, was also responsible for
the great flood in the book of Genesis.
Does this mean that I think God was not responsible? NO.
I believe that all things under Heaven are the work of God, and that He uses any means necessary, including using natural forces, to accomplish His purpose.
If I say, a comet struck the earth and caused the flood, does that mean I do
not believe God moved the comet to cause the disaster. No.
That is just as logical as saying that God did it instantly with a great miracle. The
entire universe is a miracle and under His authority, and it has never made
sense that God would break the very physical laws He created when He can accomplish the same goal through natural means.
But how did this disaster take place?
In the 1990's, two geologists from Princeton University, William Ryan and Walter Pitman, were doing research on the floor of the Black Sea when they saw something that they couldn't explain. They saw "shore lines" on the bottom of the sea, indicating that at some time past there was a lake at that level surrounded by "dry land". Core
drillings confirmed that 6000 - 8000 years ago all the fossils consisted of
fresh water life, and that there was an event that changed it to marine life of
the salt-water variety, almost overnight. FULL POST

Part 1of a 3 Part Series: What happened 5200 Years Ago?
Mt, Ararat
Glaciologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University, found some plants under the melting glaciers in the Andes that carbon dated to 5200 years ago. According to him, the glacier must have formed almost instantly to trap the plants under it. Most glaciers move slowly and destroy anything caught under them.
In 1991, hikers found a preserved body of a man trapped in a standing position in an Alpine glacier and revealed as the glacier retreated. Again, carbon dating showed the date he was trapped, 5200 years ago.
Tree rings being studied in Ireland and England show that something monumental upset the weather at one specific period in history. 5200 years ago.
A team of scientists taking core drillings in the Sahara Desert discovered that in the recent past, a large part of the Sahara was a lush tropical wetland, until something happened that quickly changed it to the driest place on earth. Carbon dating showed that the event happened 5200 years ago.
Ice cores taken at Antarctica and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa show that oxygen isotopes were at their lowest at one specific time in history, indicating that a major atmospheric cataclysm took place. FULL POST

Jesus spoke of the "Kingdom of Heaven" and described it in many ways, such as "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a ….".Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? When we speak of it in churches or in public we usually refer to it as being a place that is not a "physical" place but rather like another ethereal dimension or universe than our own.
We know that other universes are predicted now by theoretical physicists and possibly that is where "Heaven" resides, but, what if it is within our own backyard and in this physical universe? You might ask, "how is it possible"? I would like to offer an argument for that possibility simply for consideration and debate, knowing that my own preference is that it is "outside" physics and this universe.
I do this because the topic came up in an earlier post about what would be the nature of "ET", and the discussion led to the idea that ET may be so far advanced that hostility would not be a factor if "he" landed on earth. I began to think of the possibilities for the real characteristics of ET, and it occurred to me that there is a level of advancement that would approach the description of "The Kingdom of Heaven" as given in the Bible, but one that could exist here, in this universe. What would the characteristics of a truly advanced extraterrestrial civilization be like? FULL POST

One of the most ridiculous statements I have heard from the Atheists' camp is that "If an extraterrestrial landed on earth, it would mean the end of religion". I also remember that statement being made on a documentary on the History Channel on UFO's. I believe the statement results more from wishful thinking than real "logic".
Why would the existence of extraterrestrials pose a threat to Christianity, God, or religion in general? Does the Bible say anywhere that a scenario like that is not possible? In fact in John 10:16 Jesus said, "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold".
Is it logical that God, who created the earth as a paradise for mankind, could not, or would not, possibly do the same somewhere else in the vast universe? I like what the leading character in the movie "Contact" said when asked if there could be other planets with life on them. She said "If there isn't, it would be a tremendous waste of space".

The book of Revelation is perhaps the most studied book in the Bible because it is such a mystery. Only after decades of contemplation and study have I come to the point that I may have a handle on only about 50% of its message. I do believe I have some constructive suggestions for anyone who wants to try to understand this book. I have studied many different, very methodical, attempts to understand the organization of the book, and this is my own, based on my own enlightenment while studying the text.
Observation number one: The significance of the seals.
A seal is placed on an object to protect a mystery inside until such time as it is meant to be revealed. The seals in Revelation are the most important part of the vision of John, and are so important that only "the lamb" was worthy to break them. A mistake many make is to interpret them as a "succession" of "events". The entire 7 seals read like a program to a play by introducing the characters of the play to the reader. Each seal, as it is broken, "reveals" something about the last 7 years of the period of the great tribulation. The first four seals are like an introduction to the reader of the principal characters in the play. Each "character" plays an important role in the major events that are to take place after the period begins. The key idea here is that the period has not yet begun, and won't begin until the last seal is broken and brings on the trumpets, which are heralds that "announce" each event just before it happens. The "tribulation period" begins with the breaking of the 7th seal and the beginning of the "trumpets". Seals "reveal mysteries" whereas trumpets "announce" events. FULL POST

Mana 「
Mana is an important aspect of every mage that has ever lived as it is their source of energy, which is used to activate various magic spells. This energy is naturally existing and flowing in the environment and within everyone.[1] Due to this, it is common knowledge that everyone is able to use magic to some extent. At the same time, people who do not possess any mana and unable to use magic are a completely rare occurrence.[2]
Furthermore, mana is the life force of all human beings. Thus, when someone uses all of their mana, it could cause them severe exhaustion and ultimately render them unconscious.[3][4]
In nature, the density of mana can be different from place to place. Usually, a location with high mana density would have a penchant for having a distorted environment.[1] One example of such place is a dungeon where strange creatures and gravitational forces could occur within it.[5]
Moreover, mana can also be used as materials to mold objects, such as using it to create a huge door within a dungeon.[6]
Elemental AffinityEdit
Unlike mana that exists in nature, those that are situated within mages possess an affinity to elements. These elemental attributes are one of the aspects that differentiate one mage from another.[7]
There are mainly 4 great attributes in the world, which are fire, water, wind, and earth. From these attributes, several other elements can be derived. Such elements are lightning and smoke come from the wind attribute or ice from the water attribute.[7] Furthermore, mages could have different latent abilities according to their elemental affinity. One example would be mages with an affinity towards wind and its derived elements of lightning and smoke have the latent ability of mana sensory. This resulted from those mages having a higher sensitivity towards the flow of mana.[8]
Since a mage can only be affiliated to a single element, it prevents them from using magic outside of their element. This fact results in a mage who is able to activate fire magic spells to be unable to use spells from other elemental magic such as wind magic or water magic. However, it also allows them to use other magic with an added attribute according to their individual affinity, such as fire-based creation magic or plant-based healing magic.[7]
On unique occasions, it has been proven through scientific endeavor that a mage could be artificially enhanced to possess more than one elemental affinity. A successful effort for this experiment is Mars who possesses an affinity towards both crystal and fire.[9]
The amount of mana that a mage possess within them has huge significance. It is because the fundamental strength of a mage is measured through it. When a mage possesses a high amount of mana, any tasks which involve the use of magic would become easier.[10] Additionally, mages with a high amount of mana have a higher chance accessing high-level magic spells rather than mages with a low amount of mana.[11][12]
In addition, learning to control the mana within them is an important lesson for every mage. It is because mana control is the second parameter that is used to measure the strength of a mage. Even if a mage possesses a high amount of mana, the mage would be considered weak if they lack control over it. An example would be Noelle Silva who is considered a "defect" by her family because she is unable to properly control her mana even though she possesses an above average amount of it.[13]
Trivia Edit
- The appearance of mana as birds highly resembles the concept of rukh from the Magi series.

The last time I hied off to a solo day tour to Hakone, I was not able to visit the place I had originally intended to go to - the Hakone Open Air Museum.
I got so caught up in doing the "Hakone Loop" that I didn't leave myself with enough time.
On this last trip to Tokyo, I was glad to have Jay with me -- we would go back to Hakone and we would make sure that the museum would be our primary destination.
It helped that we had an early start and were able to complete the "Loop" by lunchtime.
We arrived at Chokokunomori Station, a mere 3 minute walk to the museum via the Hakone Tozan Railway just a little past 1 pm.
The day was clear and bright -- but very cold. Would traipsing about outdoors, even among world class art, prove to be unbearably chilly?
From the outside or even from the entrance to the museum grounds, first timers (like us) don't quite have a hint of just what it is that is in store for them.
We walk through the entrance and the vista of art amidst sky and natural landscape opens.
Large bronze and brass sculptures by renowned sculptors and artists in the most amazing forms are all over the grounds.
This massive bull stands perpetually ready to charge or perhaps, he is just about to graze?
On a shallow reflecting pool lies this gigantic marble head, with a lush growth of greenery growing around it -- a veritable verdant hair do. It is just so overwhelming that I take my time, exhale and just sit and reflect.
There are several galleries within the museum but the art out in the open air is what truly moves and astonishes me. This giant metal piece is by Calder.
The Hakone Open Air Museum has the distinction of having more than 20 pieces of Henry Moore's large sculptures. Working on his recurring themes of mother and child, sculptures within sculptures and reclining figures, it is just amazing to see his work all over the place.
The museum is in the vicinity of the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. Since this area is mountainous, the museum is on land that is about 550 meters above sea level. The mountains of Hakone and the rolling landscape are the perfect backdrop to the seemingly never ending display of art.
It is one thing to see art in museums ... framed on walls, kept behind protective glass, placed on pedestals.
But the art here is out in the open, you don't get to just see it ... you get to react to it and really experience it.
What an amazing place this is!
These small figures hug the wall and placed one on top of the other seem to be reaching to escape and jump over the borders.
Everywhere you look, you see sculpture in various forms.
Because it's winter, the ground is brown and the trees are bare of leaves but I can imagine, in my mind's eye what this would look during spring or summer.
All these pieces amidst lush greenery must be a totally different experience again.
This large block of Carrara marble that formed these figures probably comes from the same place where Michelangelo got his stones.
Not all art is heavy or ponderous -- or solemn or serious. Much of it is whimsical, light even humorous. How we respond and react to art is entirely personal. Much of the snobbery surrounding art revolves around how one is supposed to be moved by a specific piece.
I believe each person has his own take -- art is purely subjective and personal.
I find myself smiling at this piece by Turner Prize winner Anthony Gormley.
It was surely not his intention but this figure lying flat on the ground reminded me of how I feel at the end of the work year. Flat out spent and exhausted.
We walk slowly through the grounds, discovering more and more treasures -- as we turn a corner, as we walk up a flight of concrete stairs.
I am truly happy to see so many of Henry Moore's large pieces. It is amazing that this museum in the middle of the mountains should have such an impressive and significant collection of works by this major artist.
The white building in the background houses Henry Moore's smaller pieces plus a well stocked gift shop and small coffee shop. What holds our attention though is what you see in the foreground -- an open air hot water foot bath! It is so unexpected yet so natural in this unique open air setting. Particularly since Hakone is known for its many natural hot springs, this comes as a welcome feature.
There is no one around and we make a beeline to soak our cold feet in the hot spring water.
The museum have thoughtfully provided for visitors like us who cannot resist the lure of the foot onsen. There is a small cabinet with washcloths for sale -- 100 yen, honor system -- get a towel and slip a coin into the slot. Exactly what you need to dry your feet with.
The water, which is perfumed by large orange halves floating along, is extremely hot at 65C but as we continue to slowly dip our toes, we get used to the heat and pretty soon, we are having a lovely long soak.
Only the thought of minor degree burns makes us get up, put on our socks and shoes and continue our way through the museum.
Still, it was such a wonderful albeit short interlude -- our feet felt so good afterwards!
Aside from Henry Moore and the others who are all in the international list of who's who in sculpture, the other major talent in the Hakone Open Air Museum is Pablo Picasso. There is a gallery devoted to over 300 pieces of his work - from drawings, etchings, prints and paintings.
On this side of the museum grounds, the pine trees still have their green needles and the ground is covered with plants that are a bright green hue. The winter must be mild for these hardy species to survive. More gorgeous bronze pieces await you at every turn.
This large wooden piece is called Woods of Net and is an interactive work where you can go in and enjoy yourself amidst the swinging nets that are suspended from the ceiling.
We have made the circuit of the museum and find ourselves headed back towards the exit. This large obelisk has two huge bronze pieces that seem to be floating on air. It is "Man and Pegasus" by Swedish sculptor Carl Milles.
I think flight could be the theme for this whole glorious place -- flight from the ordinary, the mundane -- flight to whatever and wherever your mind can take you.
The Hakone Open Air Museum is a typical example of the Japanese character "wa"... which means harmony and peace. This museum, set amidst such a stunning backdrop of mountains and sky, could easily have been overpowered by Nature.
Instead, they co-exist in complete balance and harmony.
Truly wa, truly Japanese.
It has also helped restore my own sense of "wa" -- after just a few hours, I feel I have recovered my own sense of peace and harmony.
An afternoon spent amidst such a spectacular setting is truly an afternoon we will always remember and cherish. These moments are what make travel so life-enhancing. These gifts that come my way are gifts that will always be with me.
Domo arigato gozaimashita, Hakone Open Air Musem -- thank you for your gift of "wa".

Two people jailed in connection with a Melbourne prostitution racket have lost their bid to appeal.
Moon Ja Kim, 58, and Zhe Fang, 27, pleaded guilty to money laundering offences over the sophisticated 2013 scheme headed by Kim's sister Mae Ja Kim.
The Court of Appeal on Monday dismissed their bid to appeal over their sentences, saying the judge who jailed them last year had delivered a balanced result.
The syndicate's ringleader Mae Ja Kim, 41, recruited women from Southeast Asia and brought them to Melbourne with the promise of good pay and conditions.
She was not licensed to operate a brothel or take any of the earnings.
The prostitutes worked in four licensed brothels in inner Melbourne.
Telephone intercepts revealed Kim discussing how to maximise work the women did, and imposing fines or sacking those who underperformed.
She was living a lavish lifestyle at the time, staying in a luxury Southbank unit, visiting a beauty parlour up to four times a week and dining on restaurant meals that could cost about $2000 in one sitting.
Her sister Moon Ja Kim, Mae Ja Kim's estranged husband, Huan Ye, 34, and associate Fang pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting dealings with the proceeds of crime.
They helped her run day-to-day operations involving the sex workers, including collecting earnings and organising rosters.
All four co-offenders will be released on a two-year, $5000 recognisance after they have served about two years in jail.
Mae Ja Kim's minimum jail term was the longest at two-and-a-half years.

Each church has it's own money and is free to do what it wants with it. The problem comes if taxpayers money gets involved, or if it is used as a way to avoid tax in any way whatsoever. If not then they are completely free to do what they want, spend on fancy gold chairs for no reason if they want to, the church is good at wasting money like that.
This is really a question between the leaders and the congregation. If the congregation is willing to pay for their leaders living expenses in exchange for their guidance and loyalty, then this is not something I would want to see the government interfere with. If abuses or criminal activity are occurring then appropriate actions should be taken.
I do not believe that Mormon church leaders should be paid living expenses. This should come under the Mormon belief of tithing, where believers pay one tenth of their income to the church. I do not feel that the living expenses of leaders should come out of this money, as they have to pay their own tenth as well.
No, Church leaders should not be paid living expenses because they are supposed to be religious leaders simply due to their belief system, not because they are trying to get rich. They should be totally selfless when leading the church, and everything materialistic should come secondary. That is the only way to lead.

Chestertown Book Festival & KCPL Book Buttons
October 6, 2010
The Chestertown Book Festival (www.chestertownbookfestival.org) is this weekend, and we still have both rooms open! (Can't hardly believe this…..but it's true). The weather is supposed to be amazing, so it's a prime weekend.
We had an idea, and this is a bit of background…..Our local library (Kent County Public Library) is in some financial trouble and needs help. They have begun a buy-a-button campaign for fundraising, and we figured we could jump onto the bandwagon and enlist some book-loving guests to participate!
Here's the idea:
2 rooms / 2 nights = 1 KCPL Book Button
Simply Bed & Bread will donate $ 100 to buy a button with a full weekend's worth of bookings!If you're coming to the Book Festival — maybe to fit in the Friends of the Library Book Sale as well as the other weekend Book Festival events — then a stay here for you and a couple of friends would fit perfectly!
The library is around 2 corners from our front door and downtown is just a little further from that. The weather should be walker-friendly; the weekend will be book-friendly, so…..what are you waiting for??

The keyboardist for the band who treated Bend to its best 2007 summer concert was arrested last weekend on a felony domestic violence charge.
Martin Crandall of the Oregon based rock group The Shins was arrested Friday and released Sunday for an incident involving his girlfriend.
Crandall, who lives in Portland, was arrested at a Motel 6 in Sacramento. A Motel 6? If you're a member of one of the most popular bands in the music industry, shouldn't it go without saying that you could book a room at someplace better than a Motel 6? After all, The Shins' latest album, "Wincing the Night Away," is up for a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
To make the incident although more strange, Crandall's girlfriend, Elyse Sewell, was also arrested on an accusation of felony domestic violence.
Sewell has appeared in the reality show "America's Next Top Model."
