In the Company of Legends
Kramer and Heeley convey their experience with Hollywood celebrities in simple but vivid color.
The beautiful pool with the playing-card theme. The dog named Harry. The refrigerator full of Budweiser. The hand-drawn sketches of Harvey the rabbit, personally signed. Joan Kramer and David Heeley can tell you about all of them—and they do, as they take you In the Company of Legends.
Kramer and Heeley established themselves through the '80s and '90s with their television documentaries of Hollywood legends airing on PBS and other networks. As they produced these personal portraits of Fred Astaire, Katharine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and more, they stepped into their worlds, an intimate view achieved before there ever was this notion of social media or even the Internet. The book is arranged in rough chronological order, each chapter telling the story of connecting with and interviewing one of those legendary performers, .
In an engaging, unapologetic style, the authors and production partners maintain their edge of professionalism as they hunt down the biggest of the big, managing to keep themselves only minimally awestruck (Kramer swiped paper towels from Sinatra's bathroom). The thrill of the hunt alone is worth the read. Sometimes they had to pit celeb against agent or publicist. Sometimes they had to ask people to dig through closets for reels of some rare film or TV footage to air. Their determination is more than admirable (as well as their tolerance for rudeness and brushoffs), and it more often than not got them the prize.
In the midst of it all, Kramer and Heeley often formed lasting relationships with their subjects. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward remained their friends, and Katharine Hepburn, after being profiled early on, kept returning for more, suggesting ideas for other profiles and often clearing the way for them. Like a little guardian angel, she keeps popping up through this book, moving mountains with her shrewd yet sweet style.
Any journalist will love and learn from these tales of tenacity, and the awestruck fans of Hollywood greats will eat this up. These are tales of the true stars of another era. What a fascinating glimpse.

HAGERSTOWN - In 1946, Hagerstown Junior College existed primarily to educate returning WWII soldiers so they could transfer to four-year universities.
Sixty years later, Hagerstown Community College offers more than 100 programs of study.
Students can spend two years close to home before transferring to a university or they can take enough classes at HCC to begin a career, said Michael Martin, an academic adviser for HCC students.
HCC still does a lot of work with credit transfer because it is the most basic function of a community college, said Guy Altieri, HCC president. But its mission has grown to include preparing students for careers and offering remedial education for people who don't have a strong enough academic background to take college classes.
The average age of the 5,200 students taking classes for credit is 27, and 26 percent of students are older than 30, according to Daniel E. Bock, assistant director of admissions, records and registration.

I would like to connect 2 U4D (total 4 ch's) to a couple of UA220 without a UA845 to save money but I will need to remote UA830 booster with UA820 antennas because of receivers position, does the UA220 let pass 12V DC to power UA830?
Just in case I will supplied of UC models, on the printed circuit should I remove the same resistances R334 or are they named differently?
In order to use the UA220 with a pair of U4D receivers it is necessary to defeat the 12V DC from the two antenna ports on one of the two U4D receivers.
This is accomplished by removing one surface-mount resistor on each receiver channel board. The resistor is R334 and its position is along the left side toward the front of the channel board. It is identified by an arrow and a box, silk-screened on the PC board. The easiest way to remove the resistor is to use two soldering irons to melt the solder at both ends of the resistor simultaneously, then lift off the part with the irons.
Once this modification is done, the UA220 can be used to interconnect two U4D receivers. The 12Vdc will pass through the UA220 and operate the UA830.
An alternative to the modification is to insert a DC block that is built into a BNC connector. Two will be required: one for the A antenna input and one for the B antenna input. Place these blocks at the antenna inputs of one of the U4D receivers.
Pomona Model 5297
BNC male - BNC female - blocks DC on the inner conductor; 1000pF cap in series
At 10/10/2001 03:13 PM we wrote - No. The UC receivers do not provide the 12 volts DC and cannot power the UA830. Do not use the UC receiver if you require the UA830 amplifier.

Welcome back dear fiends! This is Season 1 Episode 10. Tonight's featured author is Mark Slade. Mark has a knack for writing stories with an interesting twist. He's been published in anthologies by Horrified Press along with two of his books. His book Electric Funeral was published by Sundry Press.
I'm happy to present two of Mark's stories this evening. In each it appears there is a common theme – desire. After all, it's part of the human experience. Who hasn't thought about, wished, or been taught to want to improve themselves? Whether through education, work, practice, rehearsal, endlessly plugging away at your goals and dreams – we all understand it. Here's a question for you to think about – what if you could bypass all that effort? Would you do it? What price would you be willing to pay? In the first story "Giving Up the Ghost" we find out one possible answer.
Mark's second tale "Prayer Mask" takes the question further. Once the goal has been attained (regardless of the means – moral or immoral) what would you be capable of doing if you were the target of another and had it taken from you, not once but multiple times, for the sake of your goals and perhaps for payback? Listen and find out.
Thank you Mark for your marvelous and creepy contributions in this evening's episode!
And as always, a big thank you to all of you, the listeners! To know you're out there and listening means so much to me – you dear fiends are immensely appreciated by me!
Time to take my leave of you for now, I'll be back with some fresh scares soon!
Good night and sweet screams,

Norway's Telenor to Acquire Swedish, Danish Net Providers
OSLO -- Telenor ASA said Monday it will spend around $1 billion to buy high-speed Internet providers in Sweden and Denmark, to strengthen the Norwegian company's existing Nordic operations.
The telecommunications operator said it will pay six billion Swedish kronor ($821.4 million), including debt, for Bredbandsbolaget AS. It will also spend 1.4 billion Danish kroner ($236 million) for Cybercity AS.

We spent only a few days in the north of Sweden. Most of our time was spent working, but we did get to explore a bit. First is a photo of some wind turbines in the distance. I really love taking photos of wind turbines.
This is the dish at the EISCAT facility.
This old church is located in Jukkasjärvi, outside of Kiruna. The Swedish Wiki page says it was built in 1607-1608 and finished in 1785 (not really sure what the gap in time means). Also, apparently they were making some repairs in 1907 and found 87 graves under the floor of the church.
Finally we come to the Kiruna church. I was so impressed by this church. The outside looks pretty great, but once you get inside it is just spectacular. The construction with wooden beams is so beautiful and impressive to see. (Sweden at large agrees, naming it their most well-liked building in 2001.)
The craziest thing about this church is that they are getting ready to take it apart so that it can be moved, along with the rest of the city, two miles to the east and then be reconstructed. Kiruna is a mining town, and apparently the mine is gradually being dug under the current city, making it necessary to completely relocate. I'm just glad I got to visit while I could still visit this church!

Cross-Culture Empathy is Still a Long Way to Come
Free Public Lecture
The Open Stage
757 Swanston
Think about Germany. What comes first to mind? How about Romania or Japan? Do you think that what you know about these countries reflects the reality?
In early post-communist Romania, art, and particularly music, was the first thing people encountered to experience the Western culture that stayed behind the Iron Curtain for decades. Iulian Stefanica believes that not being bound to language, music has an amazing ability to cross cultures faster than nearly anything else. However, in this presentation he will question whether music is enough to bring cultures together.
To answer this fundamental question, Stefanica will share the story of Stoneclap, a cultural start-up that proposes a new model for live music consumption. The development of Stoneclap initiates a new epoch in the live music industry. It employs digital technologies to cross physical, cultural and political boundaries and creates virtual spaces for live interaction between audiences and artists located in different parts of the world.
The lecture will be followed by a digital performance, organised and curated by students from the Master of Arts and Cultural Management, that will allow attendants to experience new cultural practices enabled by digital technologies.
This is the third lecture in a three-part series: Global Dimension of Cultural Entrepreneurship: International Inspirations Making Local Impact, curated by Dr Natalia Grincheva. The series features three successful cultural start-ups that gained their main ideas and inspirations from international travels and cross-cultural engagements. The series exposes how local communities in different countries become increasingly hyperconnected through global circulations of cultural and economic capital via digital and material flows.

There were in all nineteen full-fledged Wildcats. I will call them Andrew, Belle, Cecile (Kittygirl), Donald, Emma, Francine, Gemma, Henry, Isolde, Jonathan (Kittyboy), Kenneth, Larry, Marvin, Nick, Ophelia, Patrick, Queenie, Ray, and Sebastian. Boys dropped out faster and girls stayed longer, so there tended to be a shortage of boys even though more had technically qualified. There were a lot of girls practicing singles skating and a lot of dares directed at Dorothy Hamill to "get down here and show your stuff!" They did it to Linda Fratianne. They did it to everybody.
Anyhow. It all started when Andrew was about to fall asleep in Mrs. Bentley's class (easy to do, I can tell you) and startled himself awake with the words (as he said later), "Let's have a skating team!" A bunch of kids had been fooling around on the ice earlier, and he'd been trying to think of something to do, something that would "involve us all as a team," get us going into a sport, 'cause quite frankly I don't like the sports around here." The school was not pushing the kids, everybody was bored, and it was time for something. He waited until five minutes before Mrs. Bentley was going to dismiss class (chicken -- I'd done it in ten many times) and sneaked out to find his current girlfriend, Belle. Who just happened to be standing by the water fountain. Typical Belle thing. "Hey, girl, you wanna have a skating team?"
She said, "Yes, sure. Let's!" That water fountain is history. It should never be replaced.
When Belle came bursting back into Ms. Shiveley's room (Ms. S., as usual, was not paying attention) and told me they were forming a skating team, I sensed history in the making. Andrew and Belle's kind of trouble was always worth getting into. So I started recording. Asking, "What did you say? What did you do? How did this happen?" I knew I had to get it down, because some very chaotic kids were talking about "getting in the club" and I knew recollection of events would go downhill from there. Donald could confuse anybody. So could Emma. We called them the Chaos Twins. They did punishments by skating with each other. Only way Emma could learn to hold an edge, after Donald kicked her enough. It was in self-defense. She had to stay out of his way.
And, eventually, Cecile was looked on for recruitment. "Huh? What? What'd you say?" She crashlanded real quick from what was called Planet Cecile. Hawked an eye at "Shiveley," as she called her, swung her legs around, and said, "Yes." Cecile had a razor's edge instinct for not getting caught. Probably why she went out with Jonathan in the first place. Kittyboy. We'll get to him later. He was an import.
Later, on the bus, Francine's consent was obtained (she'd always wanted to skate anyway) and Team Wildcat was born. Six kids. Nothing to do. And very little homework that night. Everybody showed up at Andrew's house around seven for leftovers (Andrew's mother could cook), cookies (she never did know where those cookies went) and Irina Rodnina tape. In Andrew's words, "The only skater worth watching." Hours of it. We sat through at least four. It was a weekend night anyway. Great traditions were born that night: Cussing at Dorothy Hamill (it was three months before Innsbruck and nobody liked her), throwing things at Irina onscreen (the defining moment was when she pitched her head wrong and messed up a foot position: Andrew got her on the ear with a half-full Coke can, Belle followed up with half a 3 Musketeers bar to the elbow, and Emma nailed her with a whole, unwrapped Zagnut bar to the knee. Irina was never to our eyes seen on film or in person to assume such a position again. Andrew swore for years it was the Coke can.), the defining belief that nobody west of the Berlin Wall was worth wasting film on (least of all Her Royal Boppiness, as Dorothy was quickly dubbed that night), and the determination to "outdo them all," as Belle put it. I always felt sorry for Alexander Zaitsev. Nobody felt he was even worth wasting a Junior Mint on. It was not officially decided that he could skate until 1978, when Andrew declared, "Hell, may as well let the entire Wall down. They're all skating now," and promptly turned his attention to the Czechoslovakians (Andrew always had weird ideas about geography, anyway).
For the record, Randy Gardner was accorded his first Coke can, followed by a strawberry Tootsie Pop (if the wrapper was to be believed -- couldn't trust the candy-counter clerks) in 1979, and Tai remained debris-freee until well into the summer of 1980.
No wonder I grew up a little strange. Eight-nine hours of hard edge analysis, punctuated by screams of, "Irina! Not again!", flying popcorn kernels (Donald was cheap), and Belle and Andrew fightng over the perfect mix tape to redo "that routine, right now, so you don't bump your ass into the wall and still look good to the judges' stand," while Cecille knotted her hair, twiddled her fingers, and plotted revenge on everybody in sight? Was the cool thing to do on a weekend? In seventh grade? Now do you see where I learned to judge edges? And why I'm a little crazy? I only saw Cecile pitch something at Irina once. I swear Irina ducked. Got her anyway. On the nose. Perfect. 6.0. All nine judges. Including the cat. The cat was getting good. Once pitched an entire can of 9-Lives at Tai Babilonia. Then turned around and tried to bury it in the carpet. Teo seconds later, by the clock, Tai went splat on her butt. Xenia ate steak that night. And threw the scraps at Scott Hamilton. Toller Cranston got the potato rind. She didn't like Toller. It was apparently genetic. One of Xenia's great-grandchildren, at the start of the skating season, so there wa no "kitty see, kitty do" influence at all, once picked up a beef bone in her tiny little mouth at the age of six weeks and hoisted it at Tai Babilonia. On the exact leg (we tracked where she meant to throw it, and she was right) that Tai had just badly two-footed a landing with. Turned her furry little back, stalked off to her snuggly box, and wouldn't come out until she saw Katarina Witt. I promise. Six weeks. Honest.
Now do you see where I got my eye for skating? Even the cat could do it where I grew up. The qualifying jump for the local team was a quadruple lutz. And not a pee-ninesy one, either. Elsewise your cat wouldn't speak to you for three days. Xenia's babies were popular little furballs. Snuggled into bags at competitions. And peed on the opponents' costumes if they couldn't jump. So the judges could see it. Xenia's babies had opinions. Big ones.
There was no Team Wildcat competition until ninth grade, when they were all "ready to skate," as Andrew put it. Cecile served as semi-coach in those days, being thought "half proper" by virtue of the fact that she'd coolly informed Dorothy Hamill that she couldn't skate in full view of three Olympic judges nad thus had been kept home from Innsbruck. She always said it was worth it. But for what it was worth, her screen-ammo expenditure the night of the ladies' final was: Two decent-sized bags of M&Ms, including aiming the red ones at Dorothy's head to keep her off-balance; a large bowl of popcorn aimed full force at one of her spirals; a Coke can each for the other two medalists; and a lovely three-point nail on Dorothy with an end-over-ended Tootsie Roll bar. The first end to hit got her on the chin, the other one klonked her on the forehead, and the first end flipped over again to pop her right smack dab (by three judges) on the top of the head. Upon which Xenia snagged it from behind the antenna. She had a thing about chocolate. Cecile was in no mood to argue. Usually she could go multiple throws with a candy bar before it got beat out of shape (her record was four with Scott Hamilton one night, before he got his edges together). But she just glared at the "X-Cat" and dug in for some more M&Ms in preparation for "The D-Babe's" final Hamill camel. All I will say is that that was the official name for it. Let some things pass. We all agreed.
I should probably introduce Jonathan at this point. He did not qualify for several years, but he hassled the team from a safe refuge several hours away. His coach "won't let me throw a quad to be with you guys," but we always suspected he was just chicken. He was in love with Cecile and had been since sixth grade. He saw a tape of her skating and never forgot her. He didn't think he was good enough for her. She quite thoroughly agreed. Said he couldn't skate. It was generally thought she was just as scared as he was. They never actually met until ninth grade, when he basically carried her onto a rink and made her stay there. And one of figure skating's great partnerships was born.
But Jonathan hung around, delicately avoiding his "lady-love," as he called her, hassling everybody else for coaching, and driving his hired coach crazy. She dumped him in ninth grade, at which time he came barreling up to Wildcat country and begged. No dice. But various people did work with him until another coach would take him. At which point Cecile had started speaking to him, although not until she'd baptized him with a full box of fries and a large Coke to make up for lost time. Amenities had to be observed. Absolutely had to be. It just was the thing. Honor. Tradition. Wildkittiness. It worked. He dripped a little, but that was all right. Got her back later (but that's another story).
Anyhow, it was Jonathan's (and to some extent his buddy Terry's, although Terry never made the team) constant pushing that made the Wildcats refine their tactics. They knew how to do it: they'd studied tape for years. But how do you explain it to others? And from there they realized that you had to be able to explain it to yourself. You couldn't just know. As Andrew said, "Your feet honestly work better when they've had it explained to them. Telepathy doesn't work." And the threat of Jonathan's little pixie face appearing on one's doorstep was a powerful driver. By the time ninth grade rolled around, most 'Catters were better coaches than they were skaters. Which was saying something.
More coming. It just takes time.

text: Gallery This was the first painting I had done in 20 years. Not bad for a first effort. My wife asked me do Paint something with lots of blue. This was the result. The focus of this painting was to develop form and shape. I followed along imitating one of Bob Ross's lessons. This became the inspiration for one of my favorite paintings. This is where I found different techniques and tricks could come together to make a very nice image. Another one of my favorites. This one was done at a paint night with my wife.

Yes super annoying. For the last 3 weeks the Rams got all the hype. We shut them down. Now the Saints get all the hype. We shut them down.J. Kapp 11 wrote:Once again, no respect from the media.
The collection of 17 of the finest football minds at Sports Illustrated has us ranked 5th -- two spots BELOW the New Orleans Saints, whom we beat by 10.
I guess that was eons ago.
And they've won 8 straight to our 6.
And came back to beat Washington in OT after trailing by 15 with 3 minutes to play at home.
(Never mind that we beat the same Redskins team by 8 at their place.)
(And never mind that we destroyed a division leader, which the Saints have yet to do.)
(Never mind any of that ... they're obviously better.)
I truly believe that the Vikings and Philly have the most complete teams in the NFC. The best offenses/defenses combo. What disgusts me even more is how much the media talks up the Saints defense. They are 20th vs. the run!!! We arent even close to 20th in any defensive category. We have the #5 total offense in the NFL. The Saints are at #1. Crazy thing is, we're doing this without two of our star players. Bradford and Cook.
It's just a joke. They arent even giving Philly enough props. Everything for the past 3 weeks has been "Rams this" and "Saints that". Yet we whoop both of those teams, are the current #2 seed in the entire NFC and probably have the best defense in the NFL to go with the #5 offense. Am I missing something??!!!

I am constantly going into my submissions to edit some hidden fields and recently a couple of the answers that were previously filled in are disappearing. It wasn't doing that before. Can you fix that? I constantly have to "Cancel Edit" to see what the answers were and then go back in to complete my fields by filling in what disappeared. Please help...
I have noticed it on 2 different forms:
Alissa Kline
- CesarAnswered on March 08, 2014 at 06:04 PM
I am having trouble trying to replicate the problem which you have described above. Is this problem happening on specific fields, or is it totally random? Does the problem every single time you click on edit, or sometimes when clicking on edit the value suddenly appears properly.
Do let us knoso that we may assist you better. Thank you.
- cmygsaAnswered on March 08, 2014 at 06:41 PM
It's only certain fields. On the Mgr Registration Form, it's Position and Division. On the Player Registration Form it's Division and Age Group.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on March 08, 2014 at 07:43 PM
I have checked it here and it appears to work just fine. The mentioned fields are prepopulated with the existing values.
Can you please try to clear your browser's cache and recheck it afterwards? This might help.
Please update us with the result. Thanks!
- cmygsaAnswered on March 08, 2014 at 07:51 PM
Tried it. Didn't work. I tried it in both Internet Explorer and Fire Fox... If it's happening in both browsers, I don't know what to do...
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on March 09, 2014 at 12:46 AM
Just to clarify, it is happening during on "Edit Mode? Or when you resubmit the form after editing?
So far on my test, all is well on Edit Mode.
When I picked the last submission on your form and click "Edit", the previous data is carried and prepulated on the form.
Edit Mode:
Just to remind you that you have two different "Age Group" fields on your for. When the other age group has value, the other should be blank (according to your conditions).
If you're still having difficulties, can you flag the submissions you're having trouble with? I suspect this is submissions specific since I couldn't reproduced the problem on my test.
- cmygsaAnswered on March 09, 2014 at 07:59 AM
Hi Elton,
Thanks for your efforts, but it's happening on ALL of my submissions when I go into Edit mode. I just edited a brand new submission this morning on the Manager Registration Form and it did it again. I had to cancel my edit to see what was filled in for Position and Division.
Can you do a screen share session with me? Do you guys have that capability?
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on March 09, 2014 at 09:16 AM
Hi Alissa,
Unfortunately we do not have screen share session tool to be able to shared session.
But what I can suggest you try instead is share to us a screenshots of the steps you do when you reproduce this issue. Try it like this steps.
1. Take a screenshots of every steps you do while in the submissions Edit mode.
2. Upload all of the screenshots file you have taken here http://tinypic.com/
3. After uploading the images, copy the link URL and share it to us. You can provide all the URL link when your respond to this message.
We will be able to determine the process you have undertaken and possibly allow us to provide appropriate suggestion/fix.
Update us.
- jameswestleyAnswered on March 09, 2014 at 12:01 PM
Hi Aliisa,
Can you check again? This should now be fixed. You should be able to see all of your hidden fields in edit mode in submission. Let us know how it goes,
- cmygsaAnswered on March 09, 2014 at 02:21 PM
Not sure what you did, but it does look like it's fixed!

In 2014, I started a compilation of letters to my little brothers, Dominic and Chad. They were transitioning into manhood and had gotten to the stage where open chiding brought to them immense scars to their egos. My unplanned assaults of kisses and hugs were no better. They brought to them embarrassment. Still, I wanted to let them know that I was proud of the good things that they did, and I wanted to dissuade bad habits, behaviors and thought patterns without seeming like the overbearing big sister. I also wanted to apologize for the ways in which I felt I had wronged them. It turned out to be so much more. I wrote letters to all my brothers: the ones in Christ, the ones who aren't in Christ, the ones who are lost, and the ones who are found.
A few weeks after I started my letters to Dominic and Chad, I would take up a short stint as the Assistant Youth Leader at my home church. There, I got to see and learn about how young women interacted with young men in the body. I often found that they lacked the sense of self that would encourage them to make the decisions that I would want to see them make. I decided that I would also write some letters to my sisters. Again, it became so much more. As I begun to write, I recognized that I had not yet solidified what womanhood was. I was writing to these young ladies but I was also writing to myself, seeking concrete shapes of who and what I was as a woman and what it meant for my purpose here on earth.
The answers that I was seeking were the responses to complicated and controversial questions; particularly for the church. They were difficult questions. They challenged culture and long held beliefs and I experienced maybe too much backlash for it. But I wasn't the only young Christian seeking answers by encouraging discourse on Facebook. There were quite a few of us; all of whom had embraced the power of the sword of the pen. I made a proposition to them : Let us address the issues -social, economic and religious – that affect us through our gift of writing.
Everyone was on board and so #TheLettersProject was conceived.
Conception is one thing, but carrying a child to term is another and birthing is also another.
In the months that would follow, we would forego the expense of setting up our own publishing company. As a group of writers we would experience a host of things that in one way or another would place stumbling blocks along our path: death, grief, depression, unplanned financial expense, work, growing businesses and participation in pageants. But we birthed it. A few late nights, strained eyes, scrambled timezones and broken dates later give us the privilege and honor of saying that on March 17th, 2017 we release 6 books.
I think, in addition to embarking on a journey to heal hearts and bless lives, to encourage young men and women to become everything that they've been put on this earth to become, this project has made tangible, for many young Caribbean writers and authors, the dream of publishing.

Steel pipes are not only used for conveying fluids and powdery solids, exchanging heat energy, manufacturing machinery parts and containers, but also an economic steel.It can reduce the weight, save metal 20 ~ 40%, and realize the mechanized construction of factory.Using steel pipe to make highway bridge can save steel, simplify construction, and can greatly reduce the area of coating, save investment and maintenance cost.
The general trend of the development of the world steel pipe industry is that spiral welded pipe growth faster than seamless steel pipe, spiral welded pipe production is far greater than the seamless steel pipe. Around the seamless pipe; spiral welded pipe hot-dip galvanized pipe, spiral welded pipe ERW in the production of the dominant position, and in the use of long-distance pipeline of oil and natural gas pipeline, submerged arc welded pipe and urban gas pipeline field, spiral submerged arc welded pipe For the market.

...was like a lolly scramble. You know the one that you have at kids birthday parties where you get some good ones and some yucky ones? Well, last week we had some good days, but we also had some yucky ones.
Starting with the yucky days - It was tough having my big boy spend the first half of the second week of his school holidays in hospital. Not really on anyone's to-do list in the holidays, huh?! But we are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ that he was well looked after and completely healed! It was the best feeling having him home and back to his happy healthy funny self again. His little brothers surely missed him!!
Then moving onto the good days - We finally bought a rug for our living room! It's been on our list-of-things to buy for a while, but me being me, I had to wait for a good deal. And this baby was!! I managed to score it for half price! I'm not gonna get into the details, but I scored it for less than it was advertised for. It's on the 'wild' side, but we all love it! Especially my boys!
Now moving onto even better days - I baked lots and lots of Pinkalicious cupcakes for Pinkalicious October to raise as much funds as I can for the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation. It was a great success that I've had to extend this event til the end of the month!! So much love and support in my community which is amazing to see! My boys didn't mind showing their support by eating the left overs! LOL
Now we arrive at Sunday and it's the best day of our week - My family and I decided to go for a long drive. We didn't have a plan. We just drove and drove until we reached Whangarei and thought "wow, we're pretty far from home eh?" lol. It was a great day just chillaxing with the four most important men in my life! Although we didn't make it back in time for our indoor netball semi-finals {a little miscommunication between the husband & wife here, haha}, it was a wonderful day!
Here are some highlights, courtesy of Instagram. Enjoy xo
Have a safe and happy long weekend guys!! See you back here on Tuesday for more cakin' and creatin'!!

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a private law contract
between a low carbon electricity generator and the Low Carbon
Contracts Company (LCCC), a Government-owned company. A generator
party to a CFD is paid the difference between the 'strike price' -
a price for electricity reflecting the cost of investing in a
particular low carbon technology - and the 'reference price'- a
measure of the average market price for electricity in the GB
market. It gives greater certainty and stability of revenues to
electricity generators by reducing their exposure to volatile
wholesale prices, whilst protecting consumers from paying for
higher support costs when electricity prices are high.
Further detials on CfD on the Gov.UK website can be

Obama's Pay Czar to Release New Rulings on Executive Pay• ABC News
The Obama administration's pay czar, Ken Feinberg, will release new rulings Friday morning on the pay packages for some of the highest-paid employees at six companies receiving what the administration deems "exceptional assistance" from the government.
and Chrysler Financial.
Feinberg will impose a $500,000 salary cap on these employees unless "good cause" can be proven, a source familiar with the situation told ABC News Thursday.
In late October, Feinberg issued his rulings for 2009 compensation for the 25 highest paid employees at the same six companies as well as Bank of America, which just this week repaid $45 billion in taxpayer money and is now exempt from Feinberg's supervision.

You are soooo bad. You never expected this to be about customer service, didya? 🙂
A while back, I took the family down to Vegas to meet the in-laws. They were at a convention, so we shacked up at Caesar's with them. This was kinda last minute, so of course, when I made reservations I got puckered up for $800 for 5 days of hotel room. We don't get to see the in-laws all that often and they're pretty cool, so I got over it (plus I planned to visit a client).
So I go to check in, give the nice lady my card and we're off to find my wife's parents. Not 10 minutes later, they tell me that they already had a room for us right next to theirs. Paid for.
Expecting to get little or no consideration, we go down to the counter and explain to the lady (same one) that I had just checked in (not even visiting our room yet) and found out that we already had a room. At first, we got a little bit of push back when asking to check back out with no repercussions, but the lady figured out that if she forced us to accept our mistake (caused by our own lack of communication), three things would probably happen: 1) my father in law's company wouldnt likely ever book rooms at Caesar's again, 2) neither would I, and 3) both of us would probably tell everyone we knew about how Caesar's screwed us around.
Neither of us threatened any of those things, but we didn't act like we wanted 2 rooms either.
She got it. Killed the charges on my card for $800+, had someone haul our stuff to our real room and swapped keys. And smiled and wished us a great visit to Vegas. AND she didn't feel the need to contact 3 supervisors to make it happen. Caesar's had trained her and empowered her to make decisions to keep their clients happy.
So…I got it in Vegas:) Good, conscientious service, that is, and from an "evil casino hotel" as some call them.
Our stay was uneventful, pleasant, clean and fun. Good job, Caesar's.

"The prostate is an accessory gland of the male reproductive tract lined by epithelial cells that are responsive to the hormone testosterone. This hormone and other hormone-like factors such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) have been shown to induce or participate in the development and progression of prostate cancers. Our research efforts demonstrated recently that epithelial cells from a segment of the male tract – the vas deferens – which is in close proximity to the prostate, also responds to testosterone and TGFβ. Interestingly, cancers do not develop in the vas deferens. Ongoing studies in my laboratory, which aim at understanding the role of TGFβ signaling in male fertility, will elucidate physiological mechanisms that, when disrupted, lead to diseases of the male reproductive system."

If the World Trade Organization's Doha Round of global trade talks are to end in an agreement, participating nations need to speed up their multilateral negotiations, WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy said at a development seminar in
Lamy says major WTO players are showing renewed support for a
However, Lamy says, this process "is taking place at too slow a pace."
"Time is not on our side and many WTO members are becoming impatient," Lamy says. "The multilateral process of negotiations must therefore kick-in at full speed, and the Chairpersons of various negotiation groups must come into the centre stage. We need to speed up the process so as to grasp the window of opportunity which closes at the end of June with the expiry of the U.S. Trade Promotion Authority."
Meanwhile, European Union Agriculture Comissioner Mariann Fisher Boel sounded ready to make some concessions in the contentious issue of agricultural subsidies - but only to an extent.
"Our approach to trade, food, farming and countryside should be balanced," Boel says. "Let me make myself clear. I am certainly not saying that a sensible agricultural policy means carte blanche to close off markets and subsidize farming."

Why You Should Invest in a Good Home Security System
For the last ten years, crimes rates have risen. According to statistics, developing countries have seen more crimes than other countries. It may seem like terrifying fact. The fear of robbery and other crimes in these places is totally understandable. People need to feel secure and safe inside their houses. To achieve this, a foolproof home security system is the right solution.
With a security system in your home, you can sleep soundly knowing that your home is secure. In case robbers break into your house, the alarm system will go off to alert local authorities.
If you are getting Security Systems Installation in Torrance, you need to consider a few things. Remember that the alarm system will be installed and set up by a team of people from the security company. So you have to, first and foremost, consider the reliability of the alarm company and its people. There are more than a dozen security companies in Torrence that can instal home security systems but only a number can really give the best ones. Therefore it is important for you to do your research before deciding which company to approach.
Security: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make
Moving in, after all is set, it is very easy to maintain such system. The homeowner can easily activate or deactivate a feature by the use of a keypad that is secured by a password. It is important be sure that the alarm system was set properly so that the police will be automatically notified when there is a break in or a breach in security. Having said that, all doors, as well as windows and other points of entry in the house must have motion sensors.
On Systems: My Thoughts Explained
On the more technical side of things, you system is actually monitored by a local station. When the alarm goes off, you will be contacted by the local station to check if the alarm was real or fake. Should you fail to answer the call, or if the password is incorrect, the police will be sent to your residence. That is mainly what Security Systems Installation in Torrance is for. With this kind of technology, you can have peace of mind knowing that you and your family is safe in your own home.
The good news is that this protection does not have to break the bank. There are so many affordable but dependable equipment manufactured by security companies. One cannot stress hard enough how important it is to research as much as you can about the pros and cons of this equipment and this installation company before committing to anything. These are the things you need to reflect and you are on your way to reaping all the benefits of having a good alarm system in your home. Get a quote today.

Lawrence Livermore unlocks 3D printing to smaller than 150 nanometer features• arclein
Two-photon lithography typically requires a thin glass slide, a lens and an immersion oil to help the laser light focus to a fine point where curing and printing occurs. It differs from other 3D-printing methods in resolution, because it can produce features smaller than the laser light spot, a scale no other printing process can match. The technique bypasses the usual diffraction limit of other methods because the photoresist material that cures and hardens to create structures - previously a trade secret . simultaneously absorbs two photons instead of one.

A LoveLula newsletter urged me to meet the new face of ethical beauty.
Last month, a LoveLula newsletter urged me to meet the new face of ethical beauty. This is not a visage, but a brand that aims at standing for everything good in natural beauty.
Pure Handmade and British was founded by Rose Brown, a 24-year-old British entrepreneur. Rose is the daughter of James Brown, the UB40 drummer and songwriter. She started PHB Ethical Beauty in 2012 with her partner, John. They are both vegan and they began with a small shop in Birmingham.
PHB does not cost the earth - neither in monetary, nor planetary senses - and has already broken three world records: It is the youngest company to open franchise stores in five countries; it has created the biggest range of certified vegan and halal beauty; and it is the first retailer dedicated to selling them.
I got stuck in with some testing. I made a beeline for PHB's anti-ageing Moisturiser with Monoï Oil and Gardenia (£17.95 for 50ml). The cream has a very potent smell, far stronger than you would expect in a facial treatment. I love the ancient Polynesian approach of infusing gardenia flowers in coconut oil, and the gardenia encourages collagen synthesis. Vogue magazine said: "The texture, scent and noticeable results will leave you astounded".
PHB's Aloe and Lavender Skin Repair Gel won "Best Product for Problem Skin, Silver Award" at the Free From Skincare Awards 2014. Unisex, fresh, and calming relief for sunburn and eczema. Keep it by the first aid kit (£13.75 for 120ml).
PHB will give 15% of net profits to charity each year and the company is setting up The OneLove Foundation to help people and animals. Rose is very passionate: "Many big brands claim not to test on animals, but are still happy to sell their products in China - where animal-testing is a prerequisite. There's still a long way to go in the fight against animal-testing."
I'm saving my PHB Mascara review for a round-up in a few weeks. I couldn't find anything called "Cherry Oh Baby", but I salute my fellow Midlanders nonetheless. Now you understand PHB's Ethical Beauty Revolution, perhaps you will share their values and try their stuff. It's heartening to find good beauty products with stringent certifications sold this affordably

All-British Field Meet
Posted by kernelbob on September 3, 2008
On Saturday, Anne and I went to the All-British Field Meet at Portland International Raceway. Over six hundred cars were there. Jaguar was the featured marque.
This post is mostly photos, with a little commentary. Click a photo for a larger picture.
I talked to this car's owner. It's a Lotus Type 15, which is similar to a Type 11. He says it's an original Lotus, not a replica, but it's been rebuilt to the point where that's an academic distinction.
This car is a "Noble Lotus 23 by Auriga". I.e., it's a replica. Wikipedia explains the car. This one has an Alfa Romeo engine. You can see my car in the background in the upper picture. There were only about a dozen cars in the Lotus section.
This Elite was beautiful and very clean. It had a Coventry Climax engine with a "Godiva" badge on the valve cover. I asked Google, but don't know exactly what that signifies. Godiva apparently was a water pump manufacturer that also used Climax engines, but why is their name on the Lotus' valve cover?
This Lotus Cortina was pretty too.
But enough about Lotus. There were some other cars there too.
What's your favorite Austin-Healey Sprite color?
Anne looked at the TR3s and decided she would like to have one. I was shocked. I wonder if she'll like learning to shift a non-synchro transmission.
I don't know anything about this car except that it looks cool with the bumpers removed. Was it a factory special or aftermarket? For street or track? Why does it have a Pegasus decal?
An unusual car. The owner claims 26 were built. Possibly an ugly car.
The Elf was an upscale Mini with a boot. This one was trimmed in burlwood and ostrich skin.
I just now looked up the results of the People's Choice awards. My car won 3rd place in the Elise/Exige class. That's pretty good, considering that there were four cars in the class. (-: I did wash my car before the event. In June.

If you just Google for editorial services, you'll get a lot of hits. Who are these people? Do they have a clue? Will they steal your manuscript?
Even if they list testimonials on their site, you have no idea if those are real. You need the word of someone you trust.
When I went looking for recommendations I could trust, I went to Absolute Write. I've been a member there for a while now, though I don't drop by as often as I should. It's an independent forum with a large membership that ranges from complete beginners to professionals with many years of experience in the industry.
If you're looking for a crit partner, writing advice, experts in nearly any field, or you just want to talk about your favorite genre, it's a great place.
One of their best services is the Bewares, Recommendations and Background Check forum wherein you can learn about just about any agent, publisher, or freelancer out there. I crawled through that forum vetting each of the companies that came up in Google, as self-imposed homework for publishing myself.
And I'm going to let you steal my homework. These four companies are my short list for editing Disciple, Part I: For Want of a Piglet.
The Editorial Department
Offers manuscript critique, line editing, and publishing services for fiction and non-fiction. I was most interested in the proofing and line editing, at 2 to 6 cents a word, and the manuscript evaluation at 0.8 cents a word. They'll annotate the manuscript for 1.2 cents a word.
Editing For Authors
Offers comprehensive editing at 1.7 cents a word and proofreading at 0.9 cents a word. Publishing services too.
Based in the UK. They also work with writing for children. Their prices convert to a bit lower than the above two, actually, though some of their rates are hourly. And you have to send them a query.
The Book Doctors
This site was well spoken of on Absolute Write, but their list of services is more vague. They offer consultations as time blocks: 15 minutes for $90, 30 for $150, an hour for $250.
Addendum to the short list.

Good homework! I think if I were in your position I would be more interested in proofreading and line edits than anything else. The self-pubbed stuff I've read recently almost all fell down on minutiae, which I find irritating. I'm talking about the kinds of minor errors that are extremely difficult to catch when you wrote the stuff, but that seem screamingly obvious when you're a reader.

I absolutely will get a proofread and I will engage a line editor in grammatical combat...
Typos in a book drive me up the wall. Homophone typos, especially. Though having been a proofreader, I know typos are like roaches.

As I understand it the 6105's are controllable similar to the mp's.
what I don't understand is what exactly I need to make these controllable ... do I have to buy the 6105's separately from the driver? and do they sell different drivers that have different programs? does tunze sell a packaged deal?
essentially I want to have them run in a similar fashion as the reefcrest mode.
what do I need to get to do this?

This Operator Reviews
|Joe Alexander - from Germany
|South Africa Kruger National Park to Cape Town
|rating 5/5
|Pierre and his staff were incredible!! Our trip to South Africa was everything you could expect and MORE!
From the minute we were picked up to the minute we were dropped off (didn't want to go home) this trip was first rate! Pierre gave us the most personal and thorough tour you could ever imagine.
From our trip through the Kruger (oustanding success, we saw ALL of the big five and more...watch out for the elephants!) to the home cooking under the beautiful African sunsets, we all had an AMAZING time.
Our trip down the Garten Route to Cape Town was equally amazing. Our guide Mike was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond the call to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We took full advantage of the sightseeing and even made the big leap off the world's highest bungee. Cape Town is a MUST!
This trip was something my family and I will NEVER forget and we hope to do it again in the future. Thank you Pierre !
Definitely recommend this tour operator to everyone! I've already told all my friends and I'm sure they will be signing up soon. If you want a personal tour, one that makes you feel at home with a great guide like Pierre, sign up NOW! Until next time!
Thank you Vera and Africa Travel Guide for all your help in making this trip a success. Your extremely prompt responses and friendly customer service had me sold from the start. We shall be back!
Thanks again,
Joe Alexander

|Travelling with this safari company was one of the most enjoyable experiences we have ever had.
Not only were they very informative about the African fauna and flora but their easy going attitude made it enjoyable to learn. Their excellent local knowledge mixed with a sense of humour kept us laughing.
We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to view the natural beauty of Africa and have a great time doing it.
|The Brozos - from United States
|KwaZulu-Natal Top 5 Game Reserves Lodge Safari
|rating 5/5
|We just recently returned from our "Kwa-Zulu-Natal Top 5 Game Reserves" safari with this safari operator. It was fantastic. Our guide, Pierre, was very knowledgeable about the areas were visiting and could spot animals in the distance that we had to use our binoculars to see.
He spotted a cheetah far up on the hillside that was not even visable to our naked eyes. We were "up close and personal" with a very very large elephant. He walked out of the bush right in front of our mini-van, walked right up to us, turned and walked beside the car, and then proceeded to make a snack of two large tree branches, knock the rest of the tree to the ground with his huge tusks, and then wander off into the bush. Very exciting !!
We would recommend touring with Pierre to anyone. P.S. He is a really good cook too.

|South Africa Safari - Kruger National Park To Durban
|rating 5/5
|We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The personalized service provided by Pierre made all the difference. His itinerary is the one of the very few that stayed out of the big cities. I liked the combination of private and private parts of krugal, so we get a taste of both.
Shakaland was a pleasant surprise - the cultural village was well done and the tours informative. To top it all, the food is excellent.
The people of couth Africa are friendly and warm. We felt very comfortable touring the country.
|Brett - from United Kingdom
|South Africa Safari - Kruger National Park To Durban
|rating 5/5
|Myself and my friend had an excellent holiday with Pierre as our guide.
The safari's he sorted out for us were very good, and we had the chance to see just about everything there was to see in the parks, including the elusive leopard on our first drive!
As for the accommodation and it's location, both were excellent, all situated in the heart of the parks with excellent locations and views. The staff and guides at the parks were very friendly and informative as well. There is nothing quite like the feeling of sleeping in your accommodation and hearing hippo's sniffing around outside your door, or sitting on the balcony watching the game grazing a few feet away from you.
As for Pierre I could not sing his praises enough! His knowledge of his country, it's parks, history and wildlife was phenomenal. He answered all our questions, as well as many more besides, with a wealth of information showing his great passion and pride in his country and it's heritage. Pierre catered for our every whim throughout our safari (and even helped us in our planning after the tour) and his cooking skills were just as adept, helping to give us a real taste of the local food and drink.
He certainly made the holiday one to remember, and not just for his Zulu dancing which will always stick in my mind and make me chuckle, myself and my friend would recommend him to anyone looking to book a safari to South Africa.
I doubt you could find better.
|Derek Russell - from United Kingdom
|KwaZulu-Natal Top 5 Game Reserves Lodge Safari
|rating 5/5
|This was our third safari, with previous trips in the Kruger and a longer safari in Tanzania. It is a tribute to Pierre that this safari was as fresh and exciting as our first. Pierre was enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable; we ended our week as friends and knowing that we had been very lucky to have him as our guide. He has obviously taken care with his itinerary, and this safari was a great mix of game drives, different country, a variety of animals .. and with relaxation at Cape Vidal to make sure that we still enjoyed the experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed his cooking during the safari, with a braai brunch after our morning game drive and a relaxed evening meal. This makes a welcome change from eating in lodge restaurants and packed lunch at mid-day.
I know that I shall recommend him to any of our friends, and be confident that they will enjoy their safari.
I add thanks to Africa Guide. It's always an act of faith to make a booking by Internet in a foreign country. It is very helpful having an organisation like yours which maintains good standards and which provides feedback to new clients. I found it very useful in making our decision about our holiday.
|Katheryne Feltham - from United Kingdom
|Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve Safari
|rating 5/5
|I can honestly say that our safari was the highlight of our trip to South Africa.
Pierre, our guide, tailored the trip to our needs, was knowledgeable, entertaining, and fed us extremely well too!
We had varying weather conditions throughout our tour, but these did not affect Pierre's ability to give us an excellent trip, nor hindered him spotting all of the wildlife - from far away buffalo, down to the tiniest dung beetle - things which our un-trained eyes would surely have missed!
The vehicle we travelled in was comfortable and spacious, and well stocked with food and drink.
|Melanie Mary Simpson - from United Kingdom
|KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields & Game Reserves
|rating 5/5
|Overall the tour was excellent and meeted the needs of all 6 participants.
The zulu battlefields were very intersting and Pierre our guide was very knowledgeable. From there we travelled to the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi game reserve. The game sitings here was amazing and considerably better than those from our visit to the Kruger Park last year: we saw the Big 5 in only 2 drives.
Our original itinerary included a visit to Shakaland. However, our guide, Pierre, suggested that we might want to see the crocs and hippos at Lake St Lucia instead (at no extra cost). The group did decide to visit the latter and were all delighted with the cruise on the lake.
It was very easy to plan our trip from the UK via email with Pierre. He was very helpful and only to pleased to customise the tour to suit our wishes, during the planning stage. Once on tour, Pierre did a splendid job of showing us the battlefields, game reserve and Lake St Lucia. The accommodation and restaurants he chose were of good quality too.
My party and I would highly recommend this company to other visitors to South Africa.

|We had a wonderful time - it exceeded our already high expectation. Pierre and Karin were excellent hosts and guides- his eyesight at spotting game was tremendous. A close encounter with a 12 foot crocodile crawling next to our minivan got the adrenelin flowing. We will definitely return to South Africa - a beautiful country.
|Michael Pique - from United States
|Create-Your-Own Tour in South Africa
|rating 5/5
|I was a bit apprehensive, arranging my first African safari by e-mail from California: fears always in the back of my mind of Internet frauds, disappearing tour deposits, and never-to-appear tour guides. Fortunately, I chose well and enjoyed a thoroughly satisfying holiday. Pierre and Karenare wonderful hosts with the skills of rugged outdoorsmen and gracious ambassadors. As I rode with them last December through Kruger Park and Limpopo Province, their roomy van became a Visitors' Center on wheels: generally, Pierre tells about animals, trees, and nature while Karen specializes in the Veld's fascinating human history.
Of course they drive you around and point out the elephants and baboons, but you expect that. Having their eyes and minds enriched my visit in too many ways to list, so a few examples will have to do. We stop at a tiny roadside shop to watch biltong being made - and pick some up for snacks. At another shop, Karen opens a battered white-painted deep-freeze chest to show plastic bags stuffed with frozen chicken heads and feet - ``walkie talkies'': how would I ever have known where to look or what they're called? Pierre points out some trees we've been driving next to for a while, and tells of the tree's medicinal value and how its wood is sacred to the Zulu people. As I board an open-air night-time tour bus, even though I've just eaten a much-more-than-sufficient late lunch, Pierre reaches up and hands me a snack for the ride, ``just in case''.
Perhaps the hightlight of the trip for me was seeing the hippos marching across the road before dawn, in perfect single-file, returning to their river to soak after a night of grazing. Yes, without them, I might have been able to wake up at 4:00 AM for the hippos, but knowing that Pierre had the coffee ready and Karen was waiting with fresh Rusts (spelling?) made even 4:00 AM a pleasure to look forward to. And I would not have had any idea where to park and quietly wait for the tip-toeing hippopotamus parade...
I would highly recommend them to anyone making a visit to South Africa.
