Volcanic sand beaches, rainforest-clad mountains, secluded waterfalls and Creole cuisine. Nick Boulos spills the beans on why St. Lucia tops his list of Caribbean islands.
Caribbean islands. They're all the same, right? Well, not quite. Many of them may share some common delights – fruity rum cocktails, hip-swaying reggae and cooling palm trees – but each has its own distinctive personality.
So, when it comes to booking a much-needed fly-and-flop getaway to this part of the world it pays to give your island of choice some serious thought. Want culture? It's got to be Cuba. Picture perfect beaches? Look no further than Tobago. Fine food? Book Barbados. But why choose between any of those glorious things when you can have it all?
St. Lucia, sitting in the middle of a Martinique and St. Vincent sandwich, is the most versatile of islands; a wild and untamed isle of volcanic sand beaches and rainforest-clad mountains, a place that delivers highly on both luxury, adventure and everything in between. And while it may be home to some of the Caribbean's very best hotels (Sugar Beach and Jade Mountain chief amongst them), it's the stop-in-your-tracks scenery that will leave the biggest impression. The vista that graces every postcard –and even bottles of the island's beer – is that of the Pitons, the mighty twin peaks that soar from the sea on St. Lucia's southwestern tip in what is arguably the single most dramatic slice of scenery in all the Caribbean.
But the Pitons are more than just pleasing to look at. One of St. Lucia's most interesting chapters of history played out amongst these revered rainforest-clad summits that were formed around 260,000 years ago. During the mid-1700s, when the island's plantations were tendered to 'masters' and 'slaves', a band of freedom fighters broke away and fled to the largely impenetrable peaks of the Pitons.They may have escaped a life of gruelling hardship but their new home wasn't one without its problems. Unable to recapture their slaves, the masters set about releasing poisonous snakes in the foothills of the Pitons.
Thankfully you're unlikely to come across any of them these days and climbing Gros Piton (2,579ft) is a rite of passage for many visiting the island. It's not an easy climb - a steep and sweaty ascent of around four hours - but the views from the top make every challenging step worthwhile.
Of course, you can experience the Pitons in more ways than one. Down at sea level, there's a new and rather novel approach offered by Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort. As the only property to enjoy a privileged location between the two pointy peaks, it delivers unrivalled up close and personal views but that's not all. It has also recently become the only hotel in the world to offers guests access to Schiller 'water bikes', pioneering contraptions that are part bicycle and part catamaran. Take one out for a spin and enjoy the unusual sensation of pedallingon water across the sparkling waters of Anse des Pitons, the bay that separates the mountains.
Things are no less memorable elsewhere on the island. Wallow in the sulphuric mud pools at the world's only 'drive-in' volcano, hike to secluded waterfalls or horse ride through forests and across blissful bays on the northern coast. Or swing from the treetops on a high-octane zip-wire course through the jungle canopies.
There's a strong culinary scene, too. Learn the secrets of Creole cuisine at Spices cookery school, run by Jenni Killam from her home in the hills around Rodney Bay. If that sounds like too much hard work, let someone else rustle up tasty treats at the island's diverse and plentiful eateries, from home-cooked grub to fine dining feasts. Rustic meals of Creole chicken, perfectly pan-fried mahi-mahi, breadfruit balls and baked plantain are served up at Martha's Tables, a family run restaurant on the quiet outskirts of Soufriere.
Craving something more sophisticated? Then book the most sought after table in the Caribbean. Picture the scene: a solitary table for two perched on a piece of decking just off-shore, surrounded by crashing waves and illuminated by candles and ethereal moonlight. That's what awaits at Rock Maison, part of the Cap Maison resort in the north. The food (freshly caught scallops and lobster served with pumpkin and mango shavings) is without fault and washed down with champagne that is delivered by zip-line. What could be better?
A 7-night break at Sugar Beach costs from £1,865 per person including flights with British Airways, private transfers and accommodation in a Sugar Mill Luxury Room.;

Imaging Diagnosis
The radiological literature on pentastomiasis is sparse and the prevalence of the parasite as detected radiologically varies greatly. In the (then) Congo, Van Wymeersch and Wanson in 1954 found only 3 cases of pentastomiasis in a review of 70,000 routine roentgenograms. Bretland in 1962 could find only 14 reported cases in the world which had been diagnosed radiographically, but these reports obviously do not reflect the true incidence of the disease.
Cockshott noted that tongue worm infestation was not an uncommon x-ray finding in certain areas of West Africa, especially Nigeria and the (then) Congo, Lindner in 1965 found 14 cases of Armillifer armillatus in a random survey of abdominal films on 1,000 patients in Nigeria: in his series, the greatest incidence (7%) occurred in men 50 to 59 years-old.
The calcified dead larvae are almost always localized to the abdomen and chest and are rarely seen elsewhere. They are always multiple and are seen more often in the upper abdomen than in the lower abdomen and thorax. The calcifications are crescentic, horseshoe or comma-shaped, or coiled when seen en face and vary from 4 to 8-mm in size. Some may appear oval or rectilinear in outline when seen end on.
They are most commonly seen in the right upper quadrant, either on or below the peritoneal surface of the liver (Figs. 28.4-28.6); however, they may be seen in abundance as scattered calcifications anywhere in the peritoneal cavity (including the spleen, mesentery and even rarely the scrotum), as well as in the lungs and pleura (Figs. 28.7 and 28.8). The calcified nymphs of A. moniliformis are slightly smaller than those of A. armillatus.
Fig. 28.4 (A and B) Numerous calcified nymphs of Armillifer armillatus are seen throughout the liver, spleen and peritoneum on radiographs obtained as part of a small bowel series on a Nigerian. Note their characteristic coiled or C-shaped outlines. (Courtesy of Dr. Stanley Bohrer, Winston-Salem, North Carolina).
Fig. 28.5 Pentastomiasis (Armillifer armillatus) and schistosomiasis haematobium in a West African native. The coiled outlines of many small calcified nymphs are seen within and along the peritoneal surface of the liver. Right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter are present due to a distal ureteral stricture caused by concurrent infection with S. haematobium. (Courtesy of Dr. William Thomas, McLean, Virginia).
Fig. 28.6 Pentastomiasis (Armillifer armillatus) and calcified guinea worm (Dracunculus medinensis) in a Nigerian man. There are numerous small calcified Armillifer nymphs in the liver and peritoneal cavity, and there is the typical slender serpiginous outline of a calcified guinea worm in the subcutaneous tissues of the abdominal wall. (Courtesy of Dr. Stanley Bohrer, Winston-Salem, North Carolina).
Fig. 28.7 (A) Pentastomiasis with innumerable tiny calcified nymphs of Armillifer (Porocephalus) moniliformis throughout the liver, spleen, mesentery and peritoneal cavity of a 55-year-old Filipino man. Most of these nymphs show the characteristic semilunar or C-shaped outline of this parasite. These were an incidental finding on the intravenous pyelogram study. (B,C) Hundreds more of these calcified nymphs are present within the lungs and pleural cavity of the same patient. (Courtesy of Dr. Howard Steinbach and Radiology).

Those seams are rolled after the cans are filled. The best I can do is to take a very sharp knife or a razor saw and use the bottom edge of the roll as a guide and cut the top off there.
How to remove the top of a soda can without damaging it? Answered
What would be the best way to take off the 'lid' of a soda can, so you can use it for other things without destroying it?
soda cans have these 'lids' that are put on after they are filled, anybody know how to remove these while keeping the rest of the can intact?
Did as you said. Used an exacto and cut around it until I could pull off the top.
Attacking the seam like this is probably the best way. You might also try a flat belt or disk sander to grind the seam down until it releases. Filling it with water and freezing it might help if you are constantly crushing or denting the can.
The best thing i'd do is get a can opener and use it like that
The easiest and cleanest way is to use a can opener!
Those little -super-light-weight, camping style can openers (see attached pictures) work well for this task. I keep one of these can openers attached to my keys. BTW, this trick is great at parties.
Ha! That's called a P38. They've been around since the 40's, and were invented for the military. I absolutely love them! I'll be making a video where I take the top off of a can using this exact method this weekend!
I agree. This little "P38" can opener is the ideal tool for quickly and easily removing the top of a beer can, and making it into a party-improvised drinking vessel, or pencil holder, or whatever. So I am glad to hear you plan on sharing this knowledge with others. I also love this little can opener, and I keep it on my keychain, so it is with me pretty much everywhere where I wear pants. Also, thanks for the history lesson.
Use a safety can opener. Clamp it on to the top. Turn and remove...cake.
What's a good project for these, btw? I'm making a solar can heater, but have all of these soda can lids left over...
I have been trying to do this recently. I remember using a sanding pad I got from a furniture factory. Those things worked great. I've tried sand paper, and green scrubbies with no luck. With the sanding pad, I just rubbed the top of the can briskly and after a few seconds It popped right off with no effort or distortion to the can.
Some years ago there was a guy on the internet who had developed this tool that you set on top of the can and smacked it real hard with a hammer and it popped that top right in. I have been trying to find him but he had a whole lot of cool little toolsets he had developed for sale for messing with tin cans. Anybody ever seen this guy?
Can openers, i use them to salvage aluminum from the cans.
Turn the can upside down and grind the top of on smooth concrete. Patience, pressure, and a circular motion.
I have a cool collectors iron man can and I used a can opener :D

I often hear people say the kids need to get off the phones, TV, and Video Games and go outside. But adults sometimes need to be checked, we need to disconnect too. This summer I would love to leave the phone and just enjoy some sites.
On my do to list for this year in addition to traveling is learning how to use my DSLR camera and having fun things to photograph. Knocking out two birds with one stone, a trip to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens and Butterfly House would surely make great test subjects, and backdrops for a few cute and fun shots with the Mr. Maybe I'll even find inspiration for my next tattoo.

The parents of a Houston child who died at the age of two from bacterial meningitis have filed lawsuit against the medical products supplier, Triad Group, for gross negligence, claiming tainted alcohol wipes and swaps caused the rare infection.
Harrison Kothari was recovering from a surgery to remove a benign cyst from his spinal cord, when, the day before his release he suddenly became very sick with a severe infection that lead to multi-organ shut down and death.
The lawsuit says that cultures showed he had contracted bacterial meningitis caused by Bacillus cereus, a type of bacteria sometimes found in food poisoning cases, but not in hospital infections. A month after his death, his parents saw a Food and Drug Administration notice that Triad swabs and pads were being recalled for Bacillus cereus contamination. The same wipes that were used in Harrison's post-surgery care. Samples were taken from the hospital and tested positive for contamination.
Sandra Kothari, Harrison's mother said that the wipes were available in major stores and hospitals across the country, "People buy alcohol pads and they last a long time in your bathroom. They're sitting there now. I wouldn't want any other mother to go what I've gone through."
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Houston and seeks damages for the loss of Harrison's life.

Happy New Year, Terry! Hope your year is filled with many victories (healthy eating as one), lots of love, and overflowing joy...ReplyDelete
As for this ad, is it just me, or does the girl in this ad actually look kinda thin (for today's standards, anyway)? Being called a "Chubbette" isn't good, but I wouldn't mind having the figure of the girl holding the old record : ) It's cracking me up- thanks for bringing a smile to my day.
I think I should be president of the chubbettes!!! I did get a new bike and a Wii fit so I should be good to go as soon as I start doing them, but for now I am going to take a nap!!! :-)ReplyDelete
I have decided that Chubbettes might be my middle name. Sigh...maybe if I get that new Jane Fonda workout for old folks it might help.ReplyDelete
LOL- You amd me both, baby! Hugs- DianaReplyDelete
Okay Terry, I don't know about Chubettes, but I was floored when I saw your grandchildren - could not believe you were a grandmother.ReplyDelete

Congratulations, you've tied the knot and now you're settling down with the love of your life! Your first year as a newlywed couple is full of different milestones, including your first place together as a married couple. So, should you buy or rent your first home?
This is a big decision and part of a larger conversation you need to have with your spouse. Turn off your TV and phones, sit down, get comfortable and talk about the answers to these five questions to decide if it's best to buy or rent according to Realtor.com.
What do our lives look like in 5 years?
Are you up for a big promotion or waiting to get transferred to a new office? Do you plan to go to school or change careers? If you're planning on making some big changes, stay flexible and avoid getting tied-down to a home. Having to sell a home quickly can be a stressful situation and can land you in the red if the market isn't ideal.
Is my credit in good shape?
Get down and dirty about your credit score with your partner. Did you miss a car or student loan payment? Do you obsess about paying all of your bills early? Fess up either way. Get a free annual credit report and see who has the best score. Talk to a mortgage advisor today to see who should be the one with their name on the loan.
Can we afford to buy?
Feel free to use some of your wedding gift money as a down payment but remember to set some cash aside as an emergency fund for home repairs and monthly maintenance. Renting and mortgage payments may be comparable, but when a tree falls on your roof or your pipes start leaking, the cost of owning goes up and up. Thankfully, your mortgage payment isn't subject to surprise rent hikes.
How is the housing market in our area?
Do you want to live in an up-and-coming area that is likely to see greater home appreciation within the next 5-10 years? Do real estate prices in the area run in cycles? Do some research on Zillow or Trulia to find up-to-date information about the housing market in your neighborhood.
Which one is best for our lifestyle?
You probably already know the answers to this question if you and your partner are on the same page. Are you willing to get your hands dirty in a DIY project or would you rather hire a professional? Owning a home means a lot of maintenance is coming your way so make sure you're willing to keep up with repairs or have a solid savings account to cover the costs.
Have you two come to a decision? Great! Get the process started today by comparing your options with vLoan's free rate quote tool. Determine if your available options are affordable and in a comfortable range. Talk to a dedicated mortgage advisor today to help you choose the best mortgage option for you. vLoan is on your side and we hope your journey toward homeownership is as successful and as smooth as possible.
Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to keep up to date with our monthly campaign #HappilyEverHomes. We will be sharing mortgage advice and new to help educate newlyweds about the home buying and refinance process.

Welcome to day 6 of the Christmas Blogger Q&A. Today's Christmas Q&A is with Lisa from Pass the Prosecco Please.
Pass the Prosecco Please
Hi! My name is Lisa and my blog is called Pass the Prosecco Please; a mix of parenting, lifestyle, food and everything in between. I write with an honest yet humorous twist!
Question 1 – What's your Christmas tradition?
I have so many – I'm nuts about Christmas! I guess my main one is Christmas Eve – I spend the day baking and cooking and cleaning the house in preparation for the big day. About 7pm once my son is in bed I pour myself a drink and enjoy Christmas Eve TV, usually The Snowman.
Question 2 – What is your favourite Christmas indulgence?
Tricky one – I love a bottle of cream liquor but also Christmas dinner with all the trimmings – it takes so long to prepare and cook but it's a must.
Question 3 – What is the best gift you have ever received?
Christmas 2013 I thought my partner(as he was then) had been really rubbish and hadn't bought me anything. And then he got down on one knee!
Question 4 – Are you an early gift buyer or leave them to the last minute?
I'm right in the middle – usually I start mid November and like to be done a good couple of weeks before the big day.
Question 5 – Do you have a favourite shop to buy gifts?
I love buying different and thoughtful gifts – I use a lot of small businesses online such as on Facebook and Instagram and also eBay and Etsy, there are so many out there that create beautiful things.
Question 6 – Is there something which you always wanted for Christmas but never got?
Mr Frosty! I always wanted one but never got one.
Question 7 – What is the most thoughtful gift that you brought someone?
Tough question – I guess a couple of years ago my grandad died and my nan was so sad, they had been married for sixty years and I wanted to do something different so I booked us a coach trip to Windsor, she was over the moon.
Question 8 – If you could be in any Christmas movie, which one would you be in?
White Christmas, I'd love to play Betty(played by Rosemary Clooney), it's my absolute favourite.
Question 9 – What is your earliest Christmas memory?
I can remember my dad waking me up and carrying me downstairs, we looked outside and he told me how the naughty reindeer had knocked the bucket of water over he had left out for them. Magical.
Question 10 – What makes Christmas special for you?
I've always been obsessed with Christmas and now I'm a mum it's amazing to create the magic for my little man. He will be three for this Christmas and I love seeing his little face when we see Christmas lights, Father Christmas and his presents.
Bonus Question
Is there anything you wish to promote on Pass the Prosecco Please?
Nothing really to promote – just proud that my blog will be a year old and is growing steadily 🙂

Earlier today, the FDIC announced that the FDIC Board of Directors voted on Friday, October 8, 2010 to approve the issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) regarding the treatment of certain creditor claims under the FDIC's new orderly liquidation authority established under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and a request for public comment on "broader questions to inform future rulemaking addressing other orderly liquidation issues." The NPR was the subject of a briefing and discussion at the FDIC's September 27, 2010 meeting, but was deferred.
The NPR proposes to bar additional payments to creditors holding long-term senior debt, subordinated debt, or equity interests that would result in those creditors receiving more than other creditors entitled to the same priority under specified law, that any additional payments would only be made where the FDIC Board of Directors determines that the payments meet certain statutory standards, and any payments that are made would be "subject to recoupment if ultimate recoveries are insufficient to repay any temporary government liquidity support provided as part of the orderly wind-down process," which recoupment "must occur before imposition of a general industry assessment to cover any shortfalls."
The proposed regulation would also clarify that secured creditors would be protected only to the extent of the fair value of their collateral, and that any undersecured portion of their claim will absorb losses along with other unsecured creditors.
It would also create incentives to collateralize obligations with U.S. government securities, as these would be valued at par. Both practices are aimed at discouraging the use of illiquid collateral to secure short term liabilities – which the FDIC characterized as "a major contributor to the freezing of credit markets during the financial crisis."
Finally, the proposed rulemaking would address discrete issues in several broad areas, including:
- the authority to continue operations by paying for services provided by employees and others (by clarifying the payment for services rendered under personal services contracts);
- clarifying the measure of damages for claims based on contingent obligations, such as guarantees, letters of credit, loan commitments and similar credit obligations; and
- the application of proceeds from the liquidation of subsidiaries (by reiterating the current treatment under corporate and insolvency law that remaining shareholder value is paid to the shareholders of any subsidiary).
The proposed regulation regarding the treatment of creditor claims is subject to a 30-day public comment period, while the broader set of questions about future rulemakings are subject to a 90-day public comment period.

What Is Hidden in Frida Kahlo's Art?
Frida Kahlo employed an interesting approach in her artworks, she painted herself as a main character in combination with her dreams, hopes and future plans. All significant milestones of Frida's life were reflected in her art. More depressive and sad moments were filled with Christian symbolism that was changed by animals surrounding her as protectors and companions towards the brighter future.
The most iconic self-portrait of Frida was the Self- Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. The portrait was a symbol of new Frida, new beginning, new life that was hidden in the form of a hummingbird, butterflies and the thorn necklace. It would be so simple if there would not be a black cat depicted that on the contrary symbolizes bad luck in the Mexican culture. The cat presence makes us to reevaluate meaning of the good luck bird. Humming bird can also symbolize the Aztec god of war, that might mean an inner unrest. Butterflies reflect the resurrection or a long therapy period after serious car accident Frida has suffered through, whereas the thorn necklace draws parallels to crucified Jesus.
Another painting connected to symbols of crucifixion and resurrection is The Little Dear where Frida paints a deer with her face who is wounded by arrows. Parallels can be drawn with Andrea Mantegna's Saint Sebastian painting.

Loretta carries the plate of steaming rice carefully, as she has been taught. "Don't spill on your pink dress, hija," her mama had said. She arrives at the table and sets the dish down gently on the corner on a hot pad. She walks past Abuela, Abuelo, Tía, Tío, her primos, Juanita, Maria, Susan, Felipe, Ana, and Carlos. She walks around the corner of the table past all her brothers and sister and mother and her neighbors from across the street with their three kids. She reaches her chair and sits down.
The family is all eating, all noise. There is crunching, slurping, choking, ripping, stabbing, and scraping. Loretta hears these savage sounds beneath laughing and pleasant talking. The bench creaks under her from the movement at the massive picnic table. She looks up and away from the party to see stars shining brightly above, quietly. She squints and thinks she can see Jupiter.
A fist hits the table like a boulder, and Loretta is snapped back down to Earth.
"No quiero oír esto más!" Tío yells. He is always screaming at everyone. This time it's at her Abuelo.
Tío pushes back from the picnic table and storms from the backyard into the house, mumbling in rushed Spanish. Abuela nudges Abuelo and gives him her stone eyes, her look that says I'll leave you like Prima Maretta left Primo Jorge unless you fix your mess. Abuelo throws his napkin on the table and slides off after Tío.
The table is quiet for a moment before the rumble starts up again. More scarfing, rocking, and talking fills the backyard. Loretta picks at her rice.
Her primos, Felipe and Carlos, begin sword fighting with their forks. Carlos swings too quickly and pokes his brother in the elbow. Felipe's eyes turn hard, and he lunges. The boys fall away from the bench and roll across the grass, knocking up dust and dirt as they punch and pull at each other. Their sisters, Juanita, Maria, and Ana, fall after them, screaming at their brothers to stop.
Tía breaks away from the table and runs to her boys. She is yelling in her deep, commanding voice, "No más! No más!"
At the table, Loretta's neighbors are shifting—the yelling has shaken their infant daughter awake. Their middle child is teary and near the edge of crumbling, and their oldest son is close to sliding off the bench to join the "big boys" wrestling. The neighbors grab their children and sneak from the table in one swift motion, whizzing out through the backyard gate.
Loretta looks at her mother, who is looking at the remains of her table. Her eyes are brimming. She jumps from the table and tumbles into the house before a tear can spill over. Loretta's preteen sister, the fixer, trails behind her mother asking, "What's wrong, mama? What's wrong?"
Her brothers look at each other and nod towards the basketball hoop in the driveway. They jump from the table before Abuela can say anything, but she sees them leave and chases after, yelling at them to "be present" when the family is together.
Be present, Loretta thinks. She looks around at the empty picnic table, the half-eaten plates of food, the spilled glasses of water. She sits in her spot, clean and calm, and listens to her family yelling around her. Loretta tilts her head up and looks at the stars. She thinks she can see Saturn. In school, she learned that Saturn's rings are made of rocks—rocks that spin in continuous, complete rotations. Loretta wonders how they stay there, how they don't just roll away into space one after the other.
She squints and begins to count the rings, twirling her finger in perfect little circles as she counts. One, two, three, four…

LISBON, Sept 27 - Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday it was the capitalist system that had caused the financial crisis in the United States and the country should come up with a new constitution.
Speaking to reporters in Lisbon on the last leg of a tour that included visits to China and Russia, he said: "I think the United States should start a constituent process to create a constituent assembly, a new truly democratic model."
A constituent assembly is a body elected to draft and sometimes adopt a new constitution.
"It was capitalism that caused the ruin" in the United States, said Chavez, who is one of Washington's fiercest critics, calling the financial crunch "the worst financial crisis in history".
"Let the U.S. empire end and let a great nation and great republic rise from the ruin ... It's time to shout 'Liberty!' again in the United States," Chavez said, calling for a new government to be free of the "dictatorship of the elite" such as big banks and corporations.
Critics accuse Chavez of running an authoritarian, Cuban-style regime in oil-rich Venezuela.
Chavez, who has signed various deals from weapons to energy this week in China and Russia also signed an agreement with Portugal's Socialist government on Saturday to buy 1 million ultra-cheap laptops for schools and 50,000 pre-fabricated houses in deals worth $3 billion.
They also signed a draft deal between Energias do Portugal <EDP.LS> and Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA for the development of a liquefied natural gas project from the Blanquilla Este reserve in northern Venezuela.
The computers, which the government started distributing in Portuguese primary schools this week at a subsidised price of 50 euros , will be delivered to Venezuela from December. They cost 285 euros in stores in Portugal.
The laptop is based on Intel Corp's <INTC.O> Classmate PC, a cheap computer that has been adopted in various formats in countries such as Brazil and Indonesia.
I agree 100%

Samson Mukisa's Affidavit
I SAMSON MUKISA of C/o Kaggwa & Company Advocates, P.O Box 6624 Kampala, do solemnly make oath and declare as follows:
1. THAT I am a male adult of sound mind, born 1990 and the victim of forced sodomy by Pastor Robert Kayanja of Rubaga Miracle Center Cathedral, and make oath.
2. THAT I joined Rubaga Miracle Center in 2003, following my father, the late Richard Bulega of Kitende, Kajjansi, along Kampala – Entebbe Road, who had had been a member for some time. We used to be ferried freely every Sunday by the church buses.
3. THAT my mother, Nansubuga Oliver had died in 2000.
4. THAT when my father died in 2004, I stopped attending services at Rubaga Miracle Center due to lack of transport for even the church buses had stopped plying our route.
5. THAT when I clocked 18 years in February 2008, my family members told me that I must start performing our clan spiritual rituals because I had inherited the names of my grandfather whose will had been that when I clock 18 years, I must start performing all the clan spiritual rituals he used to perform. Because I had already accepted Christ as my personal Savior, I declined involvement in the spiritual rituals and during the clan meeting that followed on a Sunday, I was banished from both my family and clan.
6. THAT with no other option, I decided to go to Rubaga Miracle Center where Pr Kayanja had a ministry helping street children. When there, I told him my problem and he welcomed me into his ministry as one of the homeless children till I left under very painful circumstances.
7. THAT in the street children ministry, the pastor in-charge was called Wampampa and I used to participate in all activities that included music and drama competitions amongst the groups.
8. THAT one Sunday evening, after Pr Kayanja's return from Rwanda and Mbarara trips, we had competitions from which a winner was to be established. Pastor Kayanja attended the function. Group A, which I headed won the competitions. Immediately after announcing the winner, Pr Kayanja sent one of my fellow children named John to call me to him.
9. THAT when before pastor Kayanja, he told me how I had sung so well and to congratulate me, he offered to take me out to a hotel for dinner.
10. THAT soon thereafter before the end of the function, he drove me to a hotel whose name and location I do not know, but as far as I can remember, had more white guests than black ones and fewer women, and had a wall fencing with a gate, and parking inside.
11. THAT at the hotel, he bought for me chips, chicken, sausages and soda, and he ate sausages and splash juice.
12. THAT after supper, he left me seated and went out and on his return, he told me that his vehicle had failed to start, and further, that Police patrol might arrest him. He told me that he would book a room for us to stay till the morning. Since I knew nothing evil about him, I had no reason to object to his proposal of a night at the hotel.
13. THAT he booked one self-contained room, which had only one bedding. When I asked whether we were to share the bed, he told me that in the hotel were spare mattresses; he would call the reception for other beddings so that I leave the bed for him.
14. THAT as he directed me, I took a bathe. While I was bathing, he called the reception for one plate of chips and two glasses of juice which I found on table after bathing.
15. THAT though I was already full, he compelled me to eat and drink, stressing, he had spent money on the order and was not willing to lose it.
16. THAT a few minutes after I had eaten and taken the juice, I lost my senses, and by the time I woke up on Monday morning I was on the same bed with Pr Kayanja and he had already dressed up; and on the bed were used condoms, and I was feeling great pain in my anus. I immediately realized that he had sodomized me without my consent. However, I could not dare confront him because of the power he had: he had powerful bodyguards and access to the President of Uganda. I feared for my life. I knew that he had capacity to kill me.
17. THAT he immediately told me to dress up, without bathing and we left for the car. To my surprise, the car started normally and he took me back to the church.
18. THAT after about one week, he came to our residence and found me in bed, I could neither walk nor tell anyone what had happened to me. When he sought to know what my problem was and I told him of the pains in anus, he charged me never to tell anyone what he had done to me, that his status would be damaged, and that if I ever did, I would live for just one week and die.
19. THAT he immediately phoned a female medical doctor who came with all necessary medications and tools a few minutes later and she (the doctor) dressed and sowed up my anus, and gave me medicine to swallow. However, on the report that she handed to Pr Kayanja, I saw her write about me in Luganda, 'Mutabufu wa mutwe,' meaning; 'He is insane.'
20. THAT about two weeks later, Pr Kayanja came to see me and inquired of my situation. When I told him that I had greatly improved, he left.
21. THAT the following day, Pr Kayanja's two bodyguards came to me, held and bundled me up and told me, they had instructions to take me to Kampiringisa juvenile prison, which I had already heard of from fellow children at the church. As I resisted being pushed into their car, I got injured on my right leg and gave in.
22. THAT at Kampiringisa, the bodyguards told the female medical doctor on duty that I was insane. On examination however, she told them she could find nothing wrong with my mental state and could therefore not accept me.
23. THAT immediately, one of the bodyguards handed an envelope to the doctor, compelling her to change mind and receive me. The bodyguards left me there.
24. THAT after about one month, the female doctor was replaced by a male doctor who checked us afresh on one Sunday. When he found me to be of sound mind and sought to know why I had been taken there, I told him my story which greatly moved him. That same Sunday night he took me out of Kampiringisa. I spent the night at his home and in the morning, Monday, he put on a taxi to Kampala.
25. THAT when the taxi dropped me in the New Taxi Park, I inquired of the way to Kajjansi and when directed, I footed till Namasuba where I sought for a well to quench my thirst. I was directed to the well which wasn't far from Berkeley High School. At the well I sighted students eating lunch and thought I could also be given.
26. THAT at Berkeley High School, the cook promised to give me lunch on condition that I fetched water for the school every morning, to which I agreed. I spent the night at a nearby incomplete house and on the following day, I started working for food; fetching water every morning, and sleeping in the incomplete house.
27. THAT on the evening of the third day of my working at the school, I heard praising at the nearby church which I later found to be Omega Healing Center, Namasuba, headed by Pr Michael Kyazze. I joined the service and continued attending the evening services.
28. THAT during the following Sunday service at Omega, Pr Michael Kyazze raised the issue of sodomy in church and asked whoever had testimony about it to meet any of the pastors at the church. He also announced that on the following Sunday, we would have a special evening service tackling the evils going on in church, and the coming of Pastor Moses Solomon Male and other guests to address the problem. I thought he was lying; they would not seriously rise to the challenge of sodomy in church.
29. THAT on the appointed Sunday, October 26th 2008, during the special service, Pr Male came with victims, and shared his experience in fighting against the rot in church, among which was sodomy. Some of the victims he came with also testified about sodomy by pastors. It was a very moving experience for me and I got courage to break my silence about victimization by Pr Robert Kayanja of Rubaga Miracle Center Cathedral.
30. THAT on the following Thursday, I met Pr Felix Semuju of Omega Healing Center and shared my experience with him. He immediately took me to Pr Bob. At that time Pr Kyazze was abroad and when he returned, Pr Bob introduced me to him. After narrating my experience to him, he counseled me and offered to take care of me and since then, I am under his care, and he has introduced me to people who have also encouraged me not to keep silent, but stand courageously.
31. THAT as a result of my experience with Pr Kayanja, I have suffered emotional and physical hurt too deep to immediately heal, and have continually been traumatized. Many times I have shed tears, regretting why I had gone to him for solace.
32. THAT since October 26th 2008, I have encountered other sodomy victims which has compelled me to openly share my story and seek redress so that what happened to me and to others doesn't happen to more unsuspecting children and youths in their desperate search for solace and support.
33. I declare that what is contained herein is true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
Declared at Kampala this …………. Day of ………………… 2009

I've been having trouble sleeping for the past few weeks. I wasn't sure if it's because we're eating dinner just before I go to sleep every night (usually between 8:30pm-9:30pm), if it's the environmental noise from the roosters who have chosen to crow at 3:00am and every half an hour after that until we're all up and moving, or if it's something else. I've been trying to wear earplugs, but that didn't help. So last night, I grabbed my new sleeping bag (thanks Katie) and I climbed in and didn't wake up until 7:15am. It was so nice. Although I think I woke up briefly in the middle of the morning (probably a rooster), I managed to fall back asleep immediately so it doesn't feel like I woke up at all. Ironically, I'm more tired today than I have been on nights when I didn't sleep very well.
I also am having a wisdom tooth problem. My upper right has decided to grow in with a vengeance (I know, I know you're asking yourself - "at her age!") but regardless it's the most painful wisdom tooth I've had to date. I'm not sure if Peace Corps will pull it or not, that decision lies in the hands of some dentist who reviews cases like mine in Washington. I could of course always just go to a dentist here to pull it without PC permission, but I doubt I would take that kind of risk. My former host mom in Catilluc had tooth pain, went in and pulled one, and then lost six more or something. She's 29 and doesn't have any of her upper front teeth. Not a good option.
I head to Lima this week. I'll be going to training (Peru 11 is here) with WID/GAAD (Women in Development/Gender Analysis and Development) to talk about gender specific issues that we face as volunteers here in Peru. I'll report more on it when I get to Lima on Thursday.
All in all, things are still good. I've started teaching self-esteem charlas to 4th graders, and they now all stop me on the street or in the school to greet me or give me a kiss on the cheek (a common greeting in Latin America). It's nice to be appreciated. PC has also sent some seeds to help start my single mother's garden project. Now, if only I could get the regiadores on board with me, but they've been busy travelling lately. I'm also trying to get tutoria up and running, so I can start teaching values and other important themes in the secondary school. I can't seem to get the teachers on board with me in this project, which has been slightly discouraging. But that's normal. I'll resume my efforts on this when I return from Lima.
So, just a quick update. I'll post more pictures soon. Take care!

How my life is changing so fast…
New school: I will be starting at my new sixth form which I have wanted to go to since I was 11 years old. This will give me a new environment to work in, a new town to relax in with plenty of fresh opportunities available to me.
New friends: As much as I am still in contact with many friends from my old school, I will be spending my day-to-day time with a new group of friends and with new people and teachers in every class. I love making new friends so I am very excited for what awaits just around the corner.
New hobbies: Change is a key theme here, I feel as though I have changed so much over the summer including my hobbies of calligraphy, collaging, volunteering, music, 80s/90s movies, dance. They are very fluid and creative mostly allowing me to express myself as an individual as well as enjoy solitude in my own company.
New clothes: Due to my change in school, no uniform but a "business attire" dress code has resulted in me purchasing many new clothes. It was difficult to find formalwear that met the requirements of my school and expressed my personal style. My favourite pieces are a bright orange blazer, a black dress with a gold zip down the back, my "pirate" style black skirt, orange/black/white dotted skirt and of course my black ankle boots. My clothing still reflects me but I am almost completely unrecognisable in such formal clothing.
New subjects: I am finally studying three subjects that I love. Physics, maths and psychology. The three of them work as a perfect trio with an undertone of mathematics. I am fascinated by astronomy and the logic behind how the universe operates so I have taken a liking to physics. Nothing quite beats the satisfaction and beauty of a long mathematical answer. Psychology: The study of the mind, is something I have always been curious about and I look forward to studying for the first time. It thrills me to finally be able to work on three areas that I am passionate about, including my extended project qualification which will allow me to work independently on a topic of my choice.
New experiences: The change in my school environment has opened up many opportunities for me including school trips, clubs, experiences and meeting new people. I want to take this with both hands and try a little bit of everything to really get a sense of sixth form life at its best while making the most of the possibilities available.
New goals: To the fact that I have developed so much in the summer as a person my preferences and dreams have changed accordingly. This has directly impacted my goals for the upcoming academic year. I am eager to see what yet I have in front of me to come!
What does the change to a new academic year mean to you?

It is intriguing how many times the kids, at random, talk about how scary the Halloween decorations were at certain houses on their Trick-or-Treat neighborhood routes through the years. There are houses they visited 3, 4, even 5 years ago that they still say they won't go to again because they were too scary. These conversations have become more frequent in the last couple of weeks as folks are once again decorating their front yards/houses for Halloween. Whilst some of the decorations are merely strings of glowing, smiling jack-o-lanterns, many of the decorations are far more morbid.
I've struggled for years with the celebration of Halloween, a significant part of this American culture in which I live. I feel that Halloween traditions & expressions are in conflict with my faith.
However, because it has been celebrated at school (no longer), in our community (Halloween Parade & Trick or treat night), and by all of the kids' friends, I caved to the pressures and established some loose "rules" ... the kids costumes were not allowed to be scary or represent anything "evil" — so they've been PBS children's TV characters, movie characters, Disney characters, a hero, a princess, a robot, a mermaid, a pirate (a very friendly one), a dragon rider, a fairy ... to name a few. And after Trick-or-Treating each year we have always screened the {ridiculous volume of} candy, paring it down to the "purest" & best, giving away the rest. Then we carefully rationed it so it was not all eaten at once. Every Halloween we still have last year's Halloween candy in the cupboard. {sigh}
Recently, I have become increasingly concerned about the volume & ingredients of the candy (sugar or HFCS & artificial everything) that the kids collect during Trick-or-Treat night. My concern stems from being the mother of an ADD child, and observing the behavior that candy consumption causes to said child. In addition, the conversations around the scary decorations are getting deeper and more revealing too. The kids are genuinely disturbed & scared by some of them, and some of the costumed homeowners handing out candy and teens that troll the streets.
So this year I proposed the idea to forego Trick or Treating. The idea was met with some resistance at first, but that lasted maybe ten minutes. I talked with the kids about my concern over the candy, how unhealthy it is, how much they collect, how much we give away (I actually feel guilty about giving candy we won't eat away to others!) and how much of it we don't eat and gets thrown out anyway. So I have promised that instead of going Trick-or-Treating that we would have a fun night out, full of {healthier-but-still-very-yummy} treats, but no tricks. Papa will be teaching on TorT night, so we are all going to a movie together the night after. WIN. WIN.
For the past three years or so, we have marched in our community's Halloween Parade, another Halloween highlight for the kids. Given we are not going Trick or Treating, there is no need for costumes this year. It was our Princesita who put the pieces together and made an awesome suggestion ... "Why don't we watch the parade this year, because we don't get to see it when we are in it!" Brilliant idea!
So, it is not a full-on boycott of all things Halloween. We'll just be participating from a different perspective. Wednesday night we'll watch the community Halloween Parade. Thursday night we'll enjoy some Fun & Treats (whilst everyone else Trick or Treats), and Friday we'll catch a family movie. Somewhere in there, we'll carve a friendly Jack-O-Lantern. My faith can compromise with all that for now.

People tend to meander through their whole resumes and mention personal or irrelevant information in answering--a serious no-no. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. Cover four topics: early years, education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. Remember that this is likely to be a warm-up question. Don't waste your best points on it. And keep it clean--??no weekend activities should be mentioned.
|Questions to ask
|Who previously held this position? This seemingly straightforward question will tell you whether that person was promoted or fired or if he/she quit or retired. That, in turn, will provide a clue to whether: there's a chance for advancement, employees are unhappy, the place is in turmoil or the employer has workers around your age.

According to the Blogger Dashboard, this is my 300th post to the Self Publishing blog. In terms of quantity, I'll guess it's up around 200,000 words, equivalent to about four books I should have written. The quality has been evolving over the years, though I couldn't say in which direction. I hope I'm doing a better job at proofreading myself, at least I now make an effort. My main complaint is that the blog is increasingly about me, rather than about the nitty-gritty of publishing, as the first hundred or so posts were. It's just difficult to go over the same ground over and over again without either repeating or contradicting oneself. In the mean time, my total lack of book production has left my editor so bored that she's taken to cleaning her roof every week.
But back on the question of blog quality, I think the most useful posts I've made in the last year have been in response to questions that people send me. I don't always point that out in the post, in part because I'm usually more interested in answering a question that doesn't exactly match what I've been asked. Also, several of the posts about subsidy presses and fee based services have been inspired by stories of rip-offs authors send.
The quantity vs quality question is also an important one in terms of writing for your website. If you try to make every page on your website "book quality", you run into an economic problem, namely, paying an editor and proofreaders to go over content you are giving away for free. Clearly, I don't, but I know some authors who put as much effort into their web postings as they do into their books. I'd say it's a mistake, but somehow they find the energy to write more books than I do, so maybe it's a form of brain exercise.
I've been inspired by my editor's tireless housekeeping to try to freshen up the self publishing blog, so I ordered up a flip-cam from Amazon, which will hopefully make web-ready video without a big learning curve. If I find I can talk into the camera for more than 30 seconds without biting my tongue, I'll try answering some questions on video, maybe with a few graphics thrown in. I'll also revisit some of my earlier posts, pretending that it's all new. So by next week, I'm hoping the blog will be an audio/visual experience worth every penny of free. If you have any questions that you think would make quality fodder, feel free to send them to me direct or to just comment on this post.
Print on Demand and ebook publishing have created a whole new model for publishing. Are POD and digital books the answer to an author's prayers, or just an evolutionary step between traditional publishing models and free Internet distribution?

Anytime I learn a math topic, it's easier for me to see it done step-by-step in front of me than it is to learn it from reading it.
Perhaps do a "the math of self publishing, as compared to using [Author Service Company Here]" type of post.

I don't mind doing the math on my own model, but I don't want to single out any particular subsidy press.

Extention Points and Extensibility Rules
I was very fortunate to participate on the team that created the US GAAP Taxonomy Architecture. Part of this is how could you not learn a lot discussing things with people like Walter Hamscher, David vun Kannon, Campbell Pryde, Paul Sappington and Cliff Binstock (i.e. the other co-authors of the architecture).
Part of what we discussed and to a degree addressed in the US GAAP Taxonomy or realized that we could not address was the notion of extension points and extensibility rules. These topics had come up before, we drilled into them in greater detail in creating that architecture. Here are general definitions of these two terms:
- Extension points: logical points in a taxonomy where extension makes sense. These are generally technical in nature.
- Extensibility rules: rules relating to where a taxonomy can be extended. These are generally domain related and have to do with semantic meaning.
Looking at a taxonomy will help make the difference between the two make more sense.
Extension points
Take a look at the figure below (for more information see the "Calculation" metapattern on this page, number 3):
The green areas in the graphic are extension points. It makes sense to add new members to a domain, new periods, perhaps new units, and a new concept to the list of concepts which make up some total. For example, on row 10 above, it makes sense to add the concept "Airplanes" to an extension taxonomy and put it in that precise location in an XBRL taxonomy which extends another taxonomy. Likewise, it makes NO sense to do things like add a member as a child of the concept "Land". These extension points are incredibly helpful to understand for a lot of different reasons. One reason is that software can be built to make creating or extending an XBRL taxonomy a whole lot easier if these extension points are known, they are consistent, and they are communicated in some manner by the creators of a base XBRL taxonomy which someone else is extending. I could go on and on pointing out good and bad examples, but I think you probably see the point here.
In the US GAAP Taxonomy does have extension points, even though they are not formally communicated. For example, see section 4.5 Implementing Tables in the US GAAP Taxonomy Architecture document (page 34). Realizing this can help you to more easily create appropriate extension taxonomies.
Extensibility Rules
Extensibility rules are different from extension points, but they can be very helpful in another way. So, as an example, imagine the US GAAP taxonomy. (Or you can go look at it here.)
Consider the concepts "Assets [Abstract]" and "Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]". From a financial reporting business domain perspective, what sense does it make to add a concept into the US GAAP Taxonomy as a sibling to those two concepts? What would that concept be? Well, it doesn't make sense in this particular case, a balance sheet has two things which when added up the totals should be the same: total assets and the total of liabilities and equity. That is why it is called a balance sheet.
There are other areas of a taxonomy where this same thing is true, extensions make no sense. For example, a cash flow statement breaks cash flows into three categories: operating, financing, and investing. That is dictated by the financial reporting literature.
What other areas does it make sense to not allow extension or two allow extension? Should users of the US GAAP Taxonomy be able to add balance sheet line items? Well, there are actually pros and cons to that. On the one hand, what line item would they possibly want to add? If it should be there, it probably already exists in the US GAAP Taxonomy. On the other hand, it was not the case that things like Goodwill or Intangible assets ever existed on anyone's balance sheet. But, finance reporting standards evolved, and these line items are in the financial reporting rules. Allowing extensions at certain points really relate to financial reporting standards, not XBRL.
Generally it is the case that the deeper you get into a tree of concepts, the higher the probability that extension should be allowed. The higher you are in a tree of concepts, the less likelihood that you would need to extend the US GAAP Taxonomy. There are plenty of excepts to this rule, but in generally, that statement is fairly accurate.
How do you communicate extension points and extensibility rules?
Well, there is no standard way to do that now and there is no formal articulation if this information. This holds true for the US GAAP Taxonomy, the IFRS taxonomy and any other taxonomy which is out there really.
But why WOULD you communicate this information? Well, say there were a way to automate the process of detecting when a user extended a taxonomy in the wrong area (violated an extension point) or that the put a net tree of concepts on the balance sheet as a sibling of assets and liabilities and equity (violated an extensibility rule) and you could point this out to the user. Or even better, the application simply would not let you make that mistake. Or how about if a wizard lead you through the process of extending or building a taxonomy because the wizard had knowledge of such extension points and extensibility rules. Wouldn't that be helpful to users? I think so.

Velvet by Graham & Spencer Lawana Linen Tee is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hartfordgirl from Perfect little tee for jeans or velvet pants! I love Velvet so thought I would like this, great drape and fabric. I wear it on warmer days under a velvet blazer with jeans or at night when I need to layer up and down! Fit is sure to size and fabric is soft but with body.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melv from Perfect t-shirt Niot at all common. Drape & hand are beautiful. True to size. Only thing better would be a lower price.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kathryns from Very disappointing I hoped this would have a better fit, but it was very loose and ill-fitting. No shape, just hung, and, it wrinkles quickly as well. The fabric is cheap, and the top is overall not a good quality fabric or cut. I paid full price and regret buying it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Godiva21 from Seams Not Straight The side seams on this shirt are not straight. The person I talked to with Garnet Hill said the seams were not supposed to be straight, that the shirt comes like that. I looked up this same shirt on the designer website and in the picture the seams were straight. When I tried on this shirt the seams were so crooked that it caused the V neck to not be straight either. This shirt is defective and needs to be sent back to the designer.

Would the grey shirt go with the fawn color Prima Tulle Skirt?
It would. On our website, we paired two gray sweaters (one lighter than the tee and one darker) with the Prima Tulle skirt in Fawn and it looks great.
Date published: 2017-09-30
Is this tee in the white color sheer or is the fabric thick enough not to be see-through?
You may wish to wear a cami.

US trade deficit contracted more than forecasted in June after petroleum imports fell to the lowest level in 3 ½ years, indicating that trade didn't weigh on economic growth in the second quarter as previously thought.
The Commerce Department reported on Wednesday that the trade shortfall narrowed 7.0 percent to $41.5 billion. This is much lower than the nearly $44.8 billion initially estimated when the government released the first second-quarter GDP report last week.
"The improvement in June could mean a modest upward revision to the second-quarter GDP estimate," Millan Mulraine, New York-based deputy chief economist at TD Securities, told Reuters. "It also implies a fairly strong hand-off to third-quarter GDP."
The deficit, when inflation is adjusted, shrank to $48.8 billion compared to $52.0 billion in May. This prompted economists to estimate that GDP grew by an extra 0.3 percentage point in the April-June quarter. The analysts had forecasted June's trade deficit to hit $44.7 billion, up from $44.4 billion in May.
Imports declined 1.2 percent in June, the most in a year, to $237.4 billion while petroleum imports plunged to $27.4 billion, the weakest level since November 2010. This compares with $28.3 billion in May. US has gradually reduced its reliance on oil imports as domestic production reached new heights due to the use of a technique known as fracking to extract shale oil and gas resources. The petroleum deficit plunged to new lows last seen in May 2009 in June.
Non-petroleum imports declined to $167.6 billion from May's $169.6 billion, indicating that businesses accumulated inventories much slowly. Exports rose 0.1 percent to an all-time high of $195.9 billion in June, as deliveries of automobiles, engines and parts grew to a record high.

text: A notable Grade II listed converted mill with self-contained garden house set in a picturesque rural location, in approximately eight acres. Coddington Mill is in the small rural hamlet of Coddington with far reaching views over open countryside and to the Bickerton Hills. The property dates from 1775 and has been converted to provide flexible family accommodation over three floors. It retains many original features, including the traditional mill workings. The main reception hall is accessed from the gardens via circular standstone steps down to an arched entrance. Double stained glass doors open into an impressive kitchen, furnished with oak Shaker style units around a central island, and extending to a seating area beside an exposed brick fireplace with wood burner. Detailed mill wheel workings are on display here and create a focal point in the room. There is an excellent walk-in pantry. The snug is also found off the main reception hall. A cloakroom, shower room and laundry room are located off a second entrance hall. A charming dining room, with fabulous views over the gardens, is reached from the first floor landing. The impressive dual aspect drawing room combines two seating areas with a central staircase. A great expanse of beautifully polished floorboards extend throughout the room, which combine well with the exposed beams and circular brick detailed chimney. There is also a bedroom and a cloakroom off this floor. There is access to a terrace and seating area, with steps down into the gardens. From a galleried landing, the master bedroom suite occupies an easterly facing aspect and has some of the best views of the house. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Due to the unique characteristics of Coddington Mill, the property would certainly lend itself to a variety of business opportunities, such as a boutique hotel or yoga retreat. There is potential to install an environmentally-friendly water powered turbine for producing electricity. Coddington Mill provides an idyllic setting for family living and outdoor entertaining. Stone flagged terraces and paths lead over the mill sluice to the pool house, which has glazed sliding doors to the front. It houses a swim/spa pool with adjoining barbeque area, decking to front and patios to either side. The house has impressive and extensive gardens, which have been landscaped around Coddington Brook. The brook widens out in front of the house to form a mill pool. The property features a beautiful ornamental lake, where an overlooking detached garden room, converted into a guest suite with kitchen and shower room, has a large decked terrace. The banks of the pools have been attractively landscaped and planted with a wide variety of shrubs and trees including a distinctive Japanese style garden with water features and characteristic planting. The property includes two fields extending to approximately 6 acres and a timber stable building divided into two boxes. Electric gates open onto a large forecourt with an excellent two storey garage block comprising two garages and a workshop on the ground floor with a rear lobby and WC. Above is a superb office suite. This has previously obtained planning permission for development as tea rooms.

The lasting worth of Fastest is its forensic analysis of the many nuts, bolts and spanners-in-the-works of a typical MotoGP season.
While it zooms back and forth between topics, occasionally to its own detriment, the information it presents about the sport is fascinating and genuinely revealing.
There are short moments when we see some of the riders being interviewed or spraying each other with shaken champagne, but for most of the time, we're on rider-cam view or chaser-cam as the racers roar through the track at up to 210 mph
Thrills, spills and chills in MotoGP documentary.
Fastest is the stunning, exhilarating follow-up to Mark Neale's 2003 film Faster. In this film Valentino Rossi goes for his tenth World Championship win in the sport of MotoGP. Brilliantly shot and it takes an in depth look at the season, of Rossi and we see his most challenging season. Neale plunges directly in the action and this is an exciting documentary that will surely appeal to fans of the sport and to motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere. This film goes into the 2010-2011 season and displays a pivotal moment in Rossi's career. This documentary takes a look at the men, the risks, the passion and the machines behind this sport. Faster set the standard, but Fastest goes much more into its subject and will give you what Faster lacked. This is a well crafted documentary and is among the best films in the genre than I have seen. This is action packed with great race footage, interviews and behind the scenes footage. This entry asks the all important question, which is The Fastest? There are some phenomenal riders here, and a few have given Valentino Rossi a run for his money. The film will surely appeal to fans of the sport. I'm not really a follower of the sport, but I've always had an interest in bikes, and I was very much impressed with Fastest. I would recommend this documentary to anyone looking for a great, must real life thrill fest. Mark Neale delivers a stunning picture, one that will deliver more excitement than any Hollywood action film. These men that compete in the MotoGP are insane, and determined to win and Fastest definitely uncovers that passion to win and asks the all important question, who is the Fastest?

Facebook just announced the return of what used to be a yearly f8 developer conference. Following a three-year hiatus, Facebook will open its next one-day f8 meet on April 30 at the San Francisco Design Concourse in San Francisco, California. Online sources indicate this year's conference will not include any consumer-product introductions but instead will be very technical in focus.
Because Facebook bought Parse, it is likely that those who attend the meet will be privy to a significant amount of time being spent on their mobile-app development. It will not be anything like the last event which occurred in September of 2011. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook will not be hyping any big, new consumer product announcements, or pushing anything like Timeline or the nearly terminated Ticker.
Parse CEO Ilya Sukar stated: "This year, we're going back to our roots and having a pure developer conference." Instead f8 will open with a keynote speech from an as yet to be unidentified business executive—Zuckerberg has not been confirmed or denied–who may discuss information pertaining to Facebook's mobile ad network, mobile-app ads and Parse.
Sukar confirmed this by commenting: "F8 will open with a morning keynote, followed by four tracks that will cover getting-started guides, technical best practices, infrastructure strategies, engineering deep dives, and advertising tips for making your app or game highly successful."
Facebook announced last month it had begun a test program partnering with assorted advertisers in order to run their advertisements in mobile apps. They also stated that details would be forthcoming in the near future. A spokesperson for Facebook told the press that the event will include up to 1,500 developers, who must apply for a seat in order to attend the event. Details regarding the registration process will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

You may notice some of my stories have disappeared... some of them will be showing up in the future as books for sale and that's why they're gone. You can keep up with that by signing up for my newsletter =)
I come back and forth to Literotica. I have a lot of stories already posted and sometimes I just can't think of anything new to write. Sometimes I start to write and hate everything that comes out of my fingers because it doesn't match what's going on in my head. And, also, having a real job doesn't leave me with as much time to write as when I was in school, and I don't have time to do the Survivorphile contest anymore. I do write books for Amazon / B&N / Smashwords as well, so you can also find my work there =)
But, I will say this, as long as some of the periods have been when I've stopped writing for awhile... I always come back. I read every email that gets sent to me, although I know I don't respond, but I truly appreciate the very kind words that people write in their comments and emails, it's what keeps me coming back here and keeps me writing.
So thank you to all of you, and when you see new stories from me, know that you're the reason why.
