Did you know there is a difference between true passion, and passion driven by pattern? They are actually extreme opposites. One gives you energy, while the other takes energy from you. True passion is connected to your heart. When you're doing your true passion, you'll feel a sense of comfort and peace. As a matter of fact, when you visualize yourself doing your true passion you will instantly feel calm and nurtured. True passion will also give you energy. This kind of passion is rooted in your heart.
You created your true passion when you were a child. If you're not sure what your true passion is, you can look back to your childhood to find out what it is. Children live their lives from an intuitive, heart based place. They are more in tune with their true passion. Take a moment and think back to when you were a child. Think about something you enjoyed, something you did often. You didn't do this to escape an uncomfortable situation, and you didn't do it for praise, or recognition. You did it purely because you enjoyed it. Go with the first thing that comes to your mind. Got it? Now picture yourself present day, doing an adult version of that activity. This is your true passion.
Passion driven by pattern is rooted in the mind, which is where all patterns reside. Passion driven by pattern will take energy from you. Anything that is connected to your pattern will take energy from you. When you are doing this kind of passion you will feel a need for approval, as well a need to be recognized. When your passion is driven by pattern you will never feel satisfied. You will feel like you have to achieve more, or go after more, just to feel some sort of passion. In time you can even feel drained from pursuing this kind of passion. Passion driven by pattern can also bring about obsessive and addictive behaviors.
At this point you might be saying, one kind of passion is good, and one is bad. This is not so. Both serve a purpose. Passion driven by pattern will bring you lessons and learning. This is why you are here, to learn and grow from your life lessons. This kind of passion is perfect for this. True passion will feed you, and help you to feel at peace. This kind of passion will also help you as you learn and grow from your life lessons. Do you see the balance? Duality is part of the human experience. That's life on planet earth.
Consider taking a little time to witness yourself, without judgment, when you are doing your passion driven by pattern. Is there something you want to change? You have free will, you get to choose if you want to make a change to your pattern or your passion. And, you get to choose what kind of passion you want in your life. Why not choose both? Dive deeply into your passion(s) this month and enjoy!

THE View promised something different for their eighth performance at T In The Park, with singer Kyle Falconer joking beforehand he would jump out a plane and land on the stage with a parachute.
Instead, the cheeky Dundee rockers were introduced by actor and comedian Greg McHugh, aka Gary Tank Commander, dressed in his army uniform and mirrored sunglasses, who ordered the crowd to "go mad for The View".
The audience duly obliged, out-singing the band on classics like Same Jeans and Superstar Tradesman and chanting "The View are on fire" between songs.
Falconer responded by telling fans he loved them and would give them hugs afterwards "though no kissing".
The release of their latest album may have been pushed back to September due to reported personal issues, but based on their latest T performance, they're definitely back on track.

From website:
I had grown up as an art kid, and planned on attending an art college all the way until my last semester of high school when I decided to switch to study Mechanical Engineering. (Hey, I like robots!) But I never really let go of that artistic itch inside of me and despite graduating in 2011, I've been pushing to pursue work as a freelance illustrator. My artwork is mostly themed around characters I've made for D&D and Pathfinder since joining my university's gaming group in 2007, and has grown with each new campaign.
My current goals are to provide high quality illustrations and artwork for fantasy settings. I am currently partnering with Oakstaff Games to help provide free content to fellow tabletop gamers to flesh out their campaigns, and I am also working to start a series of maps to help supplement my favorite RPGs.

At the end of 2017, the Cupertino corporation sells 10 million tablets in the quarter. To strengthen the position in the market, Apple is preparing a cheap tablet model, reports DigiTimes.
It is expected that the budget cost of the 9.7-inch iPad will be $ 259. This will help attract customers, for which the price of the product is important in the first place.
The cheap output of the Apple tablet will probably trigger a new Round of competition among the leading companies in the industry, including players, such as Samsung Electronics, Amazon, Huawei and Lenovo.
Recently, interest in ceso tablets. The sale and the iPad, and Android-gadgets have dropped considerably. The company Intel has doubled the program of support to producers who use their processors.

Ben Hogan imagined the ideal backswing plane as a pane of glass extending from the ball through the player`s neck. But what worked for Hogan might not work for you.
Keep your hands more in front
In my experience, the image that Hogan used tends to set the
golfer`s hands too deeply across the chest--that is, too far around and
behind it. This can lead you to simply lift your arms to complete the
backswing, ultimately arriving in a weak, noncoiled position at the top.
A more helpful image shows a golfer standing within a curved sheet of
glass. This is ideal for the backswing, because the curve in the glass
represents the slight, gradual steepening of the plane.
Keeping your hands more in front of your chest allows you to move from
the halfway-back position up to the perfect "slot" at the top
simply by completing your shoulder turn--the ideal way to complete the

As the Internet grows, so does the competition for websites. By following the steps in this article, you can stay ahead of the competition. Having great content is useless if no one reads it. The following article will give your site a big boost in visitors.
For a good affiliate marketing strategy set up pay-per-click advertising. Though the amount paid per each click is low, it's one of the easiest options to offer affiliates and can generate acceptable earnings over time.
Always make sure that your site is well-coded. If your code is messy, search engines may not be able to index it. In addition, you won't be indexed if you have Flash included without a description written out.
If you want to be higher up on search engine results, help the web spiders out. Spiders analyze your site, looking at things like keywords. However, they don't always grasp how to navigate around your site. A sitemap allows you to present the hierarchy of each page on your site; this also makes it easier for spiders to assess relevancy.
You need to have patience to get better SEO. An abundance of traffic and major changes do not happen overnight. If the creation date of your site is not very long ago, it may take a few months to build your SEO. It takes as much time to increase the visibility of an online business as it takes for an offline business.
Above all else, you site has to entertain people and keep their attention if you hope to have a successful web business. SEO is something you can do to help website visitors stay longer and even come back again in the future. These two things will increase your overall site rank on search engines.
You can create a robot text file. txt file and including it within the root directory. This will prevent any search engine from being able to gain access to particular files on your site.
View source codes on competitors' websites. This will let you see how they are using SEO on their own website, and what keywords they are using. You probably don't want to imitate what they are doing, but it can give you some great ideas.
To make it easy for people to read about new product offerings and bring them to your website, publish descriptive blog entries that can be subscribed to by readers via an RSS feed. Through feeds you will be able to deliver information about your goods such as descriptions, pricing and images. Submit them to sites which compare prices and to the major search engines. A feed reader is a program which allows people to keep up with their favorite websites via email. Your clients may interested in following your feed this way.
Increasing your PageRank depends upon increasing the amount of site traffic you have, as well as keeping visitors on your site for an extended period of time. It is believed that the time your visitors stay on your site will influence your ranking. ) has some bearing on the site's Page Rank. Using discussion boards and forums is an effective way to keep traffic on your website for quite a while.
Once you've selected the keywords you'll be using on your site, you should add them to the title of your website. Spend some effort making your title good, since that's what shows up on search engine results pages. Initially, you want to cater to what the consumers are looking for, which is probably not your business name.
Descriptive introductions help search engine spiders better catalog your site. Use 60 characters of fewer because search engines typically will not display any more content than that. Search engines also give little weight to terms coming over the 60 character point.
You can learn SEO on your own. There are many resources available to help you learn about it. For example, books are available, and there are many websites that are quite instructional.
If you want to raise your search engine ranking, educate yourself on social marketing and look into the free sites that are out there. Go beyond Twitter and Facebook. Some social networking websites are only for certain groups. Join those which match your business' field and maximize your options.
Link Exchanges
Begin by doing ample keyword research. You should focus on the correct keywords during website design and you should incorporate your keywords into your titles. You can find out which keywords people search the most. Using these phrases across your site will make your site's rankings skyrocket.
Consider article exchanges rather than just link exchanges. This basically means that you will use an article created by a different website owner, and post it on your website. You will then need to credit the author with the help of a link to their site, and they will do the same for you on their site. It does more for you than link exchanges, and it generates new content for both sites.
Many site owners forget to check their sites for grammar issues, even though that is one of the most important things about owning a website. Ensure that your website is clearly legible to both your readers and the search engines. If your content is poorly written and is full of spelling and grammatical errors, your website will not rank well by search engines, if at all.
Site maps are perfect for facilitating page indexing by search engines. Site maps enable search engines to navigate to any page, from anywhere on your site. Even for a small site, putting up a site map will greatly boost your search engine rankings and make your site easier to navigate.
Publish fresh content to your site as much as you can. Set a goal for yourself, and follow through on it. The search engines are looking for web pages that produce new content on a regular basis versus a page that only has a small amount of new information added periodically. Sites that have new content on a regular basis tend to rank higher in the search engine results
Start by doing keyword research. Find out which keywords you need to focus on when building your website and titles. When you research keywords, you can learn the phrases people are using when searching for subjects related to your site. Using these phrases across your site will make your site's rankings skyrocket.
To keep out of spam filters of search engines, do not use duplicated content on your sites. Watch out that you may be using content that is duplicated and not even know about it. Using the same description is easy, but could be flagged as spam.
Search Engines
Always register your website with Google, Yahoo and other search engines that are popular. A lot of people think this is something that happens automatically for them. Make sure to check back occasionally and see that it is being found. It is important to know that the search engines do find your site, even though you might be showing up several pages back from the front page.
The text on your site should be large enough for most people to read. If you design a website which is easy to navigate and read, including accessibility options like making the font size larger, you'll find that your site ranks higher on search engines. Make your site for people and the search engines.
Adwords is a great tool for you to use. Do it yourself search engine optimization may sometimes not be enough to see a significant increase in rankings. Such advertising conduits are meant to do just that. Using Google's product can bring in massive numbers.
You website needs to have a site map which contains all the main links and keywords for your website. A good site map helps your viewers by acting like an index of all your site's pages. Search engines use site maps to rank websites in the search results, due to the fact that they make a website more usable, and that is an important factor in their ranking systems.
Javascript is something you can use on a website, but a search engines software won't work with it too well. It's completely your choice as webmaster whether or not to use Java, but do know that it seriously affects how crawlers see your website.
It can be tempting to try to utilize every SEO trick out there for your site, but it can backfire on you. Nobody has the time to work on every single SEO technique out there, even if they do it for a living. Just pick the ones that will have the biggest impact and get them down to a science.
You can establish criteria for your search engine to use that will allow you to customize its capabilities. When you are attempting to enhance a search engine's performance, you should use defined commands that will give you the best results.
When you are using search engine optimization to help improve your site rankings, address current events related to your site. This helps to glean visitors who are not searching specifically for what you offer. In addition, it will help you create quality content for the others on your site.
Entertain many different options for posting links that can bring traffic back to your site, including press releases, articles, blogs, forums in your niche and directory submissions. Getting solid outbound links is among the most critical tricks to success in SEO.
Don't use a host that blocks domain ownership info. If you get your domain registered with Google while it has blocked your information this could get you labeled as a spammer and you won't get good traffic.
A single keyword should have a single page. Attempting to use multiple keywords on one page can make it difficult to keep the page organized and on topic. Your readers will get more out of a page that maintains focus on one topic. They will be more likely to return to your website, too. Search engine optimization is important but a establishing a core group of readers will benefit your business in great ways.
Search Engine
Be sure to monitor the headers that your server sends with your website's pages. Use one of the many online tools to analyze your website's information. You want to see something like "200 OK" or "301 Moved Permanently".
By creating and defining the parameters of a search engine you can tailor the search engine to function best to meet your needs. You should strive to have your search engine find results that are the most relevant when you are creating a search engine.
Configure your server such that it differentiates capital and lowercase letters in URLs. If not, then your entire site could end up respidered with lower case letters, splitting up your link juice.
Search engine optimization takes time and you might be slow to see results. It's normal to want to get immediate, fast results. That being said, constructing a website that delivers results will need patience and commitment. Even when things don't seem to be happening fast enough, it's important you stay on track. You will reap the reward and climb the ranks in the search engine results over time with hard work and dedication.
You can attract visitors by holding a sweepstakes or a contest. Make sure you look into the laws, though. Reviewing the competition's site to learn how they operate contests is smart, but never steal their contest rules.
Perform SEO on each and every page of your site. Ranking highly on Google will get you a lot of traffic.
When working with meta tags, keep in mind that you need to tailor each page's meta tags to its individual content. Using the same META tag for different pages will lower your ranking in most search engines.
Use language meta tags if your site is not in English. Your search engine rankings will improve for searches in that language.
Use keywords in your META tags. Try to keep your keywords as relevant as possible.
Focus on phrases and not just the keywords with your SEO techniques. Do you search using one word often? Look for phrases that match your content. Include information that helps to put a location in the text, such as "Check out the sale at our Toronto location! " instead of "We're having a sale! *Not a sentence.
Make multiple gateways that are related to your business and site. When someone does a web search, you want to ensure search engines are finding all of your information. Gateway pages provide great traffic from different types of searches, including searches for products or companies that are similar.
Your website needs to be unique. You can use these suggestions to find what you need to keep people coming back. You must schedule time weekly to put your plan into effect.
ALT tags can be great for SEO purposes. Images can be more than just decorative site features. Use "ALT" tags for your pictures so spiders are able to see the text. It is another great way to include keywords for your site.

Adoption is the legal process that permanently gives the adoptive parents legal parental rights over a child. Our lawyers at Sagaria Law, P.C. understand that adoption is a happy event that, at times, can be stressful. We provide clients an environment that is supportive of their needs as they work through the adoption process, and we understand that a high degree of sensitivity is critical to the many complex and emotional issues involved with adoption.
In the state of California, according to:
Family Code §§ 8600; 8601—an adult generally must be at least 10 years older than the child that he or she wishes to adopt.
Family Code § 8600—a person must be unmarried and under 18 years of age in order to be eligible to be adopted; unless, of course, the person is an adult who has consented to be legally adopted by another adult.
Family Code §§ 8801.5; 8704—only an underage child's biological parent or parents, a licensed adoption agency, and the California Department of Social Services are allowed to legally authorize an adoption.
Our family law attorneys assist clients located in the San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area in a variety of adoption matters, including:
- Independent Adoptions: Adoptions arranged directly between the birth parent and a specific family.
- Agency Adoption: Adoptions through a state licensed adoption agency or a private agency.
- International Adoption: For the family that wishes to adopt a child from another country.
- Stepparent Adoption: A stepparent wishes to become the adoptive parent of their spouse's biological child(ren).
- Single Parent Adoptions: Adoptions involving only one adoptive parent.
- Contested Adoption: A situation where a person who is close to the child—usually the biological parent, the foster parent, or a relative of the child—is opposed to an adoption taking place and decides to contest the adoption in court.
- Surrogacy: An arrangement where a woman agrees to carry to term a baby so that someone else may become the child's parent or parents. The child may or may not be biologically related to the surrogate.
- Child Placement: Placing a child in a home that can best fit his or her needs.
- Grandparent Visitation: The right of a grandparent to visit a child in the event of death, divorce, or estrangement from that child's parent or parents.
- Paternity: Unless a child's parents are married at the time of birth, a father must prove that he is legally the father.
- Foster Parent Rights: The rights of the person or persons who are taking care of a child over whom they do not have legal custody.
- Termination of Parental Rights: Legally severing the rights and responsibilities that a parent has over a child. This may be a voluntary act or an involuntary one imposed by the court.
A California court must approve all adoptions in this state. This means that a prospective parent who lives in San Jose and wishes to adopt a child must go through the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara; a couple residing in Berkeley must file their petition with the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda; a foster parent living in Pacific Grove who wishes to legally adopt the child in their care must have the adoption approved by the Superior Court of California, County of Monterey.
The adoptive parents are required to file a petition for the adoption and then participate in a hearing. Before the hearing can take place, anyone who must give their consent in order for the adoption to take place—such as the biological parents, the adoption agency, a legal representative of the child, or the child (if he or she is 12 years of age or older)—has to be notified that the process is taking place. This can include a child's biological parents, the adoption agency, the child (if he or she is 12 years of age or older), or the child's legal representative. At the hearing, the court will decide whether to issue an order known as a final decree of adoption that legalizes the adoptive parent-child relationship.
Our attorneys at Sagaria Law, P.C. can help you to draft your adoption petition, guide you through the adoption process, and represent you at the hearing. We can also help you deal with any legal complications that might arise during the adoption process.

The transition year students of Ardscoil Mhuire, ably assisted by some of their talented neighbours from Garbally College, wowed audiences in the Town Hall last week with a great run of the Lionel Bart- penned classic Oliver. Directed by local man, Eoin Croffy , the accomplished and mature performances of this young cast belied their youth and expertly captured the light and dark shades in this Dickensian inspired drama.
Jane Corbett brought a wide-eyed innocence to the titular role. Her sweetness as Oliver was a perfect foil for the more cynical Artful Dodger, played by the charming Aisling Murphy. Laura Finn was a revelation as the ill-fated Nancy. Her plaintive rendition of "As Long as He Needs Me." proved to be one of the more poignant highlights in this highly entertaining show. The Ardscoil Mhuire cast were equally gifted in capturing the more comedic moments in this musical standard. Kate Kelly played Mr. Bumble with bombastic pomposity and her scenes with Sarah Fletcher's Widow Corney were a comic delight. Lauren Miller and Róisín McCollum were hilarious as Mr and Mrs Sowerberry , the mean-spirited undertakers who bought young Oliver.
Christopher Feeney played Bill Sykes with a menacing physicality and his threatening presence provided some of the show's most dramatic moments. Matthew Comerford invested Fagin's sly shenanigans with an energetic mix of humour and pathos. His gravel-voiced cockney was another of the show's highlights.
The musicality of the cast was evident throughout this fine production. The cast shone from the memorable opening strains of "Food, Glorious Food" to the hypnotic harmonies of "Who Will Buy" and were a credit to their hardworking and equally talented musical directors, Caroline Jackson and Maeve Higgins.
Overall this was a confident and hugely entertaining production. Well done to all involved.

This talented artist has no boundaries when it comes to creating; he produces digital images that are full of wonder, whimsy and magic. His images often aren't sensical, but stories can be found in all of them if you spend some time gazing at them. They feature figures that are comprised of human or animal limbs and that are surrounded by scenery that is often drab and industrial. These Matthew Neidbal images give off a very creepy and disturbing vibe, yet are visually thrilling to look at.

Sports News of Friday, 4 August 2017
Source: GHANAsoccernet.com
Striker Ebenezer Assifuah scored a brace for Le Havre who hammered Auxerre 4-1 on Friday night to make it two wins out of two in the French Ligue 2.
The Ghana international, who was on target last week, struck in the 68th minute to draw his side level after Romain Philippoteaux had given the visitors the lead early on.
On the 85th minute mark, Assifuah gave Le Havre the lead before Nathan Julan scored to give them a two-goal advantage two minutes later.
Just after the goal, the 24-year-old was replaced by Thomas Ayasse
Zinedine Ferhat netted the fourth goal in the 90th minute.
Le Havre now tops the table with six points; two more than second-placed Sochaux.

"Every man needs a woman, and every woman needs three square meals," my former mother-in-law likes to say. And science is proving her correct on that point. It turns out being married does wonders for a man's well-being. But for women? Eh.
Ladies, our marital status does nothing for us. Nothing! At least when it comes to our health. We still stand the same chance of developing what's called metabolic syndrome, a toxic brew of diabetes and high blood pressure, whether we're hitched or footloose.
More from The Stir: Happy Wives Really DO Make a Happier Life (Husbands Take Note)
This is what scientists at University College London, the London School of Economics, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found in a landmark study. "Not marrying or cohabiting is less detrimental among women than men," says UCL population health scientist Dr. George Ploubidis. "Being married appears to be more beneficial for men."
So single guys suffer from crap health compared with married or cohabiting men. Maybe it's because coupled men are more likely living on something other than Hot Pockets and beer. It kind of looks like that cliché of single guys neglecting their health (as far as lifestyle choices go) actually lives up to the reality.
OR! Could it be that the kinds of guys who get married or who cohabit tend to have better lifestyle habits to begin with? And guys who refuse to couple long-term are generally more self-destructive?
Whatever the case, I'm still pleased to learn that being single isn't detrimental to women's physical health. We know how to take care of ourselves, single or not.
Do you think married men are healthier because their wives are taking care of them, or because healthier men are more likely to get married?

Did bluesman Sleepy John Estes influence Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex?
I heard the celebrated African-American bluesman, Sleepy John Estes, with a track from 37 years earlier. This was "Milk Cow Blues" and, excuse me if this is drawing a very long bow, but Sleepy John's singing made me think of Marc
Bolan's tremulous "Deborah" vocal.
|Marc Bolan's band (mainly a duo) before he founded T-Tex and found glitter.
is Sleepy John's friend from his boyhood home of Brownsville, Tennessee, James 'Yank' Rachel, with whom he played for over 50 years.

I haven't blogged for a while - but there is a reason for that. I have always fancied trying to make a mini album - you know the sort of little book like thing that you keep photo's in and little journalling notes that you make. Well it has kept me busy - and that's just working out and writing down sizes in case I decide to make another one. It's still not finished but I have a couple of piccies to show you how it's coming along.
This shows a page with one of the inserts. There are three pockets on one side of the insert for tickets, journelling notes etc. The other 3 sides of the insert will be for photos.
Showing the same page and how the insert fits into a pocket in the side of the page.
An insert with three pockets waiting to be decorated. (Not very pretty at this stage)
The insert decorated.
The beginning of the binding and spacers to hold all the pages together.
...and this will be the hard cover for the front.......there's a similar one for the back cover.
So there it is - as you can see there's still much to be done. I'm not very good at explaining so I hope you got the gist of it. There'll be more photo's when it's complete.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

This comment that was left on the Jezebel article about a video of a kitten stuck in a bowl of milk cracks me the fuck up. What possessed this person to leave that comment there?
Did the kitten's struggle to escape the milk bowl remind her of her own battle to escape her hacker? Am I simply unaware of Laura Beck's superhero hacker-fighting powers? I have so many questions.
But one thing we can know for sure: If that woman is being hacked and monitored, her suspicions that her hacker is laughing at her are probably correct.

Into Which Groove?
All this Michael Jackson talk has led me to revisit the work of some of his 80s dance-pop contemporaries, including arguably his chief chart rival: Madonna. True, Michael Jackson did get a 13-year head start on Madonna, but they actually are (or were, rather) the same age, and Madonna has also been more prolific. After 1982, Michael Jackson managed to release about four albums, whereas Madonna has released about twelve (does the Who's That Girl soundtrack really count?). It also must be said that, despite Kaballah and Swept Away and her attempt at rapping on "American Life" and whatnot, she is probably a little more in touch with reality than MJ ever was.
Which brings me to the matter at hand. I am trying to decide which version of "Into The Groove" I like more: the original version or the mix on the Immaculate Collection. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. The original simply starts with the beat in full throttle, whereas the Immaculate version starts mostly a capella, backed by brief snippets of organ, before the beat finally enters. Although I respect the Immaculate mix's attempt to shake up the immortal "And you can dance! (you can dance!...you can dance!)/For inspiration (inspiration... inspiration)" intro, ultimately I think I prefer the intro as it appears in the original mix. With the original intro I get the sense the track may have already been "grooving" for hours and hours on end and the engineer serendipitously stumbled into the control booth, fresh from a nice snort of coke, thought to himself, "Wow, I've got to get this on tape!" and finally managed to press the red button. It gives the opening a sense of in medias res. On the other hand, because the Immaculate mix intially holds the beat back, when it finally enters, it has a heavier impact. It's like Chinese water torture, trying to decide!
Some further evidence to consider. The original mix is more spare and lean, while the Immaculate version is bathed in that "Q Sound" effect which sort of blurs everything together. The original mix also has a few extra "Now I know you're mine"s which were edited out of the Immaculate version - but then again, were they really needed? I'd say the original mix has the edge, aside from the not-so-insignificant absence of the Immaculate version's hot latin salsa piano solo. Regardless, in either version, the song is like the catchiest creation of Satan's most evil spawn (and I'm not even going to get into the matter of the extended mixes on You Can Dance).
Indeed, as lengthy and rewarding a career as Madonna has had, with some latter-day singles that are almost perfect for what they are, I have to go out on a limb here and say that her earliest period is her best. Although "innocent" is not really a word that many people associate with early Madonna, I feel there is a certain innocent quality to "Holiday," "Borderline," "Material Girl," etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think part of Madonna's initial appeal was that she did not have a conventionally strong singing voice. She was like a throwback to the early 60s girl group singers such as Little Eva or Ronnie Specter or Rosie and the Originals, who sounded like they were plucked from a Brooklyn street corner and thrust into a studio for the very first time in their lives (in fact, Little Eva, of "Loco-Motion" fame, was Carole King's babysitter).
But right around "Papa Don't Preach" Madonna suddenly decided that she needed to be a "serious" singer and that she needed vocal training. Nonsense. To call her voice "Minnie Mouse on helium," as one critic did, is to dismiss its very character. Listen to the way she sings "tonight I want to dance with some-one e-else!" The purity of the entire universe is in those notes. I also love the way she sings "Touch!...my body," as if she were stroking herself right there behind the microphone. But compare that to Prince, who probably would have just sang, "Touch my penis" and made it all too explicit. That's what I mean by "innocent." If Madonna was horny, she was horny in more of a guileless teenage girl sort of way than an experienced prostitute sort of way.
Also I am convinced with early Madonna that there was very little pretense toward creating "art" whatsoever. "Into The Groove" was probably intended to be completely, totally disposable. According to AMG, it was never properly released as a single in the US. They were making a forgettable B-side! But the public can spot a winner. At any rate, I know that she can't go around at 50 pretending she's still 25. But depth hasn't exactly become Madonna. The irony is that she probably came off deeper when she was trying to be irredeemably shallow.

How serendipitous! I was just pondering in my head yesterday my top 5 favorite dance songs, and I was thinking of this song. This is indeed one of her best, I'd put it near dead even with Like a Prayer. I never realized there were different mixes before. I just thought the 'original' mix, if you mean the one in the video, was just that, a 'music video' mix. Is it actually available anywhere else?
Ok, you "have to go out on a limb" to say that her early career was her best? Buddy, just hang around the base of the tree with the rest of us, cause I don't think anyone is going to dispute you. While I enjoy all of Madonna's work up through Ray of Light (I stopped listening after that), especially the underrated 'Bedtime Stories', early Madonna is by far the best. Me and a good friend love watching the video for 'Lucky Star', it's just her in a white room with two backup dancers. Probably had a budget of a $100 bucks, but it's just damn good. Her untrained voice is just marvelous. I've been listening to the band Ayria lately (who coincidentally opened for VNV a few weeks ago) and she sounds very much like Madonna, if you can imagine Madonna singing catchy Industrial/EBM/futurepop tunes. Very '(cyber)girl next door'. And that's what Madonna's early appeal was. There's definitely something about that voice, almost like she's a bit unsure of herself, that really gives her early work a distinct character.
Oh, and I love your use of 'in media res', such a film critic term, but perfectly fitting.

This is from the AMG review of the song:
"it would be her commercial breakthrough, reaching number four in the summer of 1984 and becoming one of her defining early hits, thanks hugely to a simple but powerfully effective video that simply showed Madonna, with a pair of backup dancers, showing off both her moves and her body against a simple white backdrop. As a video, it's about 500 times sexier than the entire Sex coffee table book."
Amen, brother.

Yeah. Try the Like A Virgin CD re-issue. In the US it was originally released as a B-side to "Angel." Talk about mixing up your A-sides and B-sides (in the UK it was released as an A-Side and became a number one hit however). It's the version I actually remember being on the radio.

My mom was a big Madonna fan, but she was listening to her around the time of the Immaculate Collection. That's the version I grew up listening to at home, but I think I prefer the earlier version.

It's time to revisit an old friend, we had reviewed the Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer some time back and loved it's AWD capabilities and neat package. Not much has changed since then, it still packs the same 2.8L turbocharged V6 good for 325 Horses but now it's priced lower and comes with 3D navigation and adaptive cruise control which were missing on the previous models.
2016 Opel Insignia OPC Sedan Review
Competition is tough in its price segment, now a days around the AED 150k mark there are some heavyweights. Opel has shied away from the spot light in this region and its belittling the enormous capabilities of the Insignia OPC. Now imagine a V6, turbocharged AWD machine that features Recaro huggers to strap you in tight and the bends at Jabel Jais. The OPC has the right ingredients, it's stable, fast once the turbo's have spooled up and the agency's promise of an after sales support par excellence.
Family cars these days are getting more driver oriented. Yes there are those whose sole existence is basic transportation coupled with low fuel consumption but its the guys and gals with itchy palms that think out of the box and break the norms and goes for something different. All these need to do is just give it a chance. The Opel is most definitely not the first word around this region when it comes to mid sized sporty sedans but in all reality this particular model is just that, it is sporty and a cracker of laughter once you wind its nose around some open path.
Once inside the car, you would be treated to some hip hugging Recaro bucket seats and meaty steering wheel which sends out a subtle hint on the cars performance characteristics. Rear leg room is ample for tall adults and more than enough for kids and pets. The Insignia OPC features the same 6 speed automatic which is seamless and more than up to its mark to handle the torque. There is turbo lag in the lower rpm range but that can be easily overcome, thanks to Opel's FlexRide electronic system which gives "Normal / Sport and OPC" range of driving dynamics. It's the latter which we prefer should be on as default and the use of its paddle shifters to enjoy the most of the Insignia OPC's 325hp and its 435Nm of torque. The OPC also features HiPerStrut front and Multilink rear suspension setups which flattens road imperfections while giving the driver a greater sense of connectivity and driving engagement. The instrumentation glows red once the OPC button is pressed, hinting at its ulterior capabilities and intentions.
The drive is characteristically German if we were to indulge on a bit. By that we mean that there is some road feel which is a good thing and the buttons are there at the right places. Once you push the car around you would truly understand the benefit of its AWD system. Cutting corners becomes that much easier but it also carries along a piece of mind which subconsciously makes you a more relaxed driver. As with most AWD vehicles, there is a tendency to under-steer but that can be easily corrected by letting go of the gas slightly and the front end tuck nicely to the intended direction.
We preferred driving the OPC hard because for everyday driving the OPC is very civilized, in reality it would be crying its heart out and begging to be allowed to stretch its legs. Joys of driving and its simple pleasures is what we miss out when absorbed in our everyday routines. Cars such as the Opel, which are underdogs here provides a lot for our hard earned money. All we need to do is just walk into its territory and take it out for a spin. I am sure that those who are yet to try it will be pleasantly surprised.

The father of a Sydney man who was brutally bashed during a night out in Bondi has expressed relief after his son's attacker pleaded guilty.
Michael McEwen, 23, was knocked unconscious after being elbowed in the face and stomped on in front of dozens of revellers late last year.
He spent eight days in a medically-induced coma and had part of his skull removed after he fell backwards during the assault and hit his head on the footpath.
David Hona, 20, pleaded guilty to the attack at Sydney's Central Local Court on Tuesday, prompting relief from Mr McEwen's father, Rob.
"We've been through a lot, Michael's been through a lot and we didn't want to have to go through a court case," he told Macquarie Radio Network.
"So it's a weight off, particularly Michael's mind."
Hona was on bail and subject to a court-imposed curfew when he attacked Mr McEwen during the early hours of December 14, at the junction of Campbell Parade and Roscoe Street.
He was not meant to leave his home between 8pm and 7am as he awaited sentencing for various charges and was not meant to drink alcohol.
The case against Hona for bashing Mr McEwen was adjourned for an arraignment hearing at the NSW District Court on July 4.
Bail was formally refused.
Rob McEwen said he hoped Hona "reformed himself" and turned his life around.
The McEwen family launched the Wake Up Foundation following the assault, aiming to raise awareness about alcohol-fuelled street violence.
The attack on Michael McEwen was the latest in a series of horrific drunken assaults in Sydney, including the one-punch death of 18-year-old Thomas Kelly in July 2012, which prompted a raft of new alcohol laws.

Sara and Tim wanted their wedding to be fun, easy going and fairly informal so what better way than to encapsulate all of these things by putting on their very own festival wedding with all the trimmings….
I've always shunned formality, it doesn't come naturally to me – I find it all a bit intimidating – and we're both extremely social, so I guess our festival wedding came from there. I love all the thought and decoration that goes into festivals, particularly ones like Rob da Bank's Bestival, and was extremely inspired by him and his wife Josie's efforts.
Held on the 20th August 2016 at their stunning home in Chichester (if ever there was a location more perfect for a festival wedding then their home is it. It has a gorgeous lake, plenty of land, camping paddocks and even a chalet pub! Amazing) their wedding was everything a festival wedding should be. There was good food, plenty of entertainment, festival flags, colourful decor, handmade signs, a cocktail bar, bunting, paper lanterns and festival wristbands. They came up with clever ideas such as hangover kits for favours, a basket of flip-flops for sore feet and little bottles of Jagermeister for each guest as a nod to Tim's love of skiing and all things Alpine. They also had the most AMAZING Burrito Bus come and serve the evening food and an Alternative Choir to get the party strted that just sound brilliant. Oh and did I mentioned that Sara is wearing Grace Loves Lace?
Get your pens poised people as this is a wedding that I am sure many of you are going to be inspired by and you are most certainly going to want to make a note of Sara's awesome advice at the end of the feature. Here's a little snippet for you:
Just make sure your day is what the pair of you want. People will try to enforce their ideas, tell you you're doing it wrong or how to do it better. Tell them to bugger off. In a nice way of course!
Sara and Tim talk us through their perfect day….
Bruges, St Bonifacius Bridge and One Knee….
It's not the most romantic story I'm afraid. It could have been, but wasn't! I adore Christmas, so in December 2014 Tim took me to Bruges. On our first night there we got fully stuck in to the Belgian beer (deadly!) and I woke up with the WORST hangover of my life. I was so poorly. Tim was desperate to get out and 'sightsee', particularly the St Bonifacius bridge. Now, with him not being much of a bridge fan, I think if I was in my right-mind I may have seen it coming! As it was, I didn't. I was just contemplating being a little unwell over the side of the bridge (we've all been there, don't judge me!) when Tim said my name in the voice usually reserved for when I'm in trouble. I spun round and then he then got down on one knee, at the top of the beautiful bridge, and asked me. I said 'alright then!' I soon got over my hangover. Distraction is key! Lots of tourists, who had been being discrete, suddenly came over to congratulate us. It was awesome. We then went for hot chocolates and burgers.
Grace Loves Lace and Purple Glitter Pumps….
My dress was The Loriel by Grace Loves Lace. I saw it on their website before I'd seen any dresses over here in the flesh. I fell in love with it and nothing compared. In the end I sent my measurements and ordered it blind. The first time I saw it was when it arrived, beautifully packaged, all the way from Australia. I wore a fresh flower crown, made by Sarah of Driftwood Flowers with the dress. It had lavender in it, which I got whiffs of all day long. My bridesmaids also had matching crowns and the mini maids had little flower wands.
I wore custom purple glitter pumps with matching ribbons as my shoes, made by Etsy company, Princess Pumps in America.
Tim wore a tweed waistcoat from Potters of Buxton, which matched all of his many groomsmen. He also wore a tweed jacket over the top, which was lent to him by friend and groomsman, Mikey. He wore them with cream chinos, a white shirt and brown shoes.
Tim and all the groomsmen, including our dads Peter and Neale, wore Gordon family dress tartan ties. As both of our families have Scottish heritage, my dad researched to see whether our clans ever went to battle! (Fortunately not!)
My adult bridesmaids wore marching dresses by Maids to Measure. They wore a Frosted Fig colour Regent dress. They had matching flower crowns to me and wore pointed toe lace-up shoes. We all wore backless Maiden Forms stick-on bras. An absolutely bloody Godsend with a bit of extra 'fashion tape' for security!
Dewy Natural Make-Up and Loose Waves….
Charlotte Gardner of Polka Dot, based in Chichester, did all our hair and make-up. We had our hair down and styled in loose waves. My make up was very natural with a dewy base (Mac Face and Body, Makeup Forever HD and Shu Uemura powder), blush and a soft brown cats eye. It was ace and lasted all day after she set us with Urban Decay make up setting spray.
Our Home, A Chalet Pub and Camping in The Paddocks….
Our reception venue was our garden at our home Ryefield Park, in Oakwood, Chichester. We knew when we moved in we'd love to celebrate at home. We've not been there long and the family that had it before put in some incredible features like the little chalet pub and the pond. We opened the paddocks up for people to camp in and hooked up a water supply for them. Everyone came and went from the house too, it was fun chaos! They came for meals and showers, it was very much an open house. We had a few campervans and lots of tents. Some family stayed the whole week and have asked to come back!
The morning after the wedding, we had rented a tea urn and bought all the bacon in Sussex to give people bacon sandwiches and a brew to help them get over all the cocktails!
Five Cakes And Party Bags….
All five cakes were made by our family. My sister Fiona made an unbelievable chocolate cake, a Victoria Sponge and a lemon drizzle, my mum made a coffee and walnut, and Tim's mum made a traditional fruit cake. A family friend made some exquisite wildflowers out of icing to decorate them. It was like the best WI stall ever.
I bought coloured paper party bags and pink napkins to invite people to take some home as we had enough cake for 400 people. I woke up the morning after the wedding with a massive bag of it next to me.
Every Little Thing She Does is Magic….
The outdoor ceremony was held at Goodwood Cricket Club's thatched pavilion — the ceremony was held under a white stretch tent. My Dad and I arrived in his old restored MG Midget. Tim arrived in an Audi R8. The music was performed by Steel Strum, a duo (Alex and Simon) who we found busking in Chichester North Street. They played guitar and a steel drum and played lots of cover tunes, including Supergrass' Alright, Bruno Mars' Marry You and Sia's Titanium. They performed The Police's Every Little Thing She Does is Magic as the bridesmaids and I walked down the aisle.
We decorated the ceremony area with ropes of flowers at the alter and urns of flowers in the aisle. All were provided by Sarah Newman of Driftwood Flowers in Lavant. We had jugs (painted by my mum, Barbie) and filled by Tim's mum, Janet and family and friends, dotted along the aisle.
An Italian Feast from A Michelin Star Chef….
My friend and chef Robert Thompson of Thompson's Restaurant on the Isle of Wight did all our food for us. It was incredible. He was the youngest chef to get a Michelin star and now runs his own phenomenal restaurant in Newport. A very handy friend to have! We wanted a huge Italian feast, all served in big bowls so everyone could help themselves. It was all inspired by my best friend (and bridesmaid) Francesca's Italian mum Angelina. She made the most incredible meals that would last for hours. Fran and her family sadly lost Angelina to cancer earlier this year. It made it all the more poignant.
For our evening food we had a double-decker burrito bus, provided by Southsea-based Al Burrito. Epic. Drunk people really benefited from the filling Mexican food!
Colourful Decor, DIY Favours, Handmade Pillows and Pot Plants….
We decorated the tipi with colourful paper lanterns, lots of homemade signs, colourful rain macs, hangover kits, boxes of truffles, homemade brightly-coloured pillows on the rattan furniture, tiki lanterns, millions of colourful candles, homemade bunting, festival flags and best of all, both of our mums grew pots and pots of flowers and plants to decorate the whole place. It was glorious. My mum Barbie also made two scarecrows, which looked A LOT like us! They still live in the garden. The pond was surrounded by strings of lights and colour-changing lights on the water's edge and in the trees. It was really beautiful when the sun went down.
We also rented a big and gaudy, but great fun, MR & MRS sign from Lizard Audio. It could be seen for miles and really brought it together.
An Alternative Choir, A 12 Piece Band and A Disco….
For our music I put on a playlist I made during drinks and speeches and dinner. During pudding, the Southsea Alternative Choir got everyone up and dancing in the afternoon. They were awesome and had me and Tim up on stage at the end to sing Hey Jude with them!
Following the choir, we had the 12-piece Blue Lion Band who kicked off by playing our first dance for us live. We had Touch Me by The Doors. They then played some excellent covers.
I then put on another playlist I made, which started with a 90's dance music revival. Watching my mum and dad dance to Rhythm is a Dancer was immense. The dance floor was full from the moment the choir started to the moment the last revellers gave in to the alcohol, at about 3am.
Favourite Moment….
I think the immediate moment after we said our vows. It was sunny, the wedding band Steel Strum kicked off with their guitar and steel drum, everyone was smiling and Tim had tears in his eyes. All I could see was sunshine, flowers and smiling faces.
Any Advice?
Don't do too much in any one go. It will quickly become a miserable, stressful, weight on your shoulders if you're not careful. We planned everything ourselves and just did one small bit a day, and some days we just didn't think about it at all. I had friends who said they were constantly doing 'wedmin' when they were planning theirs, and I couldn't bear the idea of being dominated by it like that. It is a wonderful occasion, and should feel like that all the way through. Also, take some time to make some bits yourself if you're so inclined. It connects you very personally to your day, and also dolloping paint onto things, while sitting in the garden, listening to Test Match Special, was so chilled.
Shortly after the wedding, my mum told me she had been diagnosed with cancer. She hadn't told me while we were planning the day. She said it had been the most wonderful distraction for her and she had the best day ever. It added a whole new poignancy to the day. She's undergoing treatment now, and is doing brilliantly. She's the bravest woman I know.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Chambersburg Area School District officials will know in less than three weeks whether there will be any bids on repairing the closed bleachers of Trojan Stadium, but time is running short until the start of the next football season.
Bids on the project are due by Monday, June 27, and the board could award a contract on June 29, but Richard Bender, the district's director of buildings and grounds, said after Wednesday's Chambersburg Area School Board meeting he is worried about getting bids on the project.
"I'm very, very concerned we may not get any bidders on the project because of the short time frame of the bidding and the short time frame of installation," Bender said. The schedule calls for work to begin by July 8 and be completed by Aug. 27, but many contractors have full schedules, he said.

Tito 2
1 But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;
2 that the older men be self-controlled, serious and sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 that older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.
4 They should train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that Gods message be not maligned.
6 The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.
7 In your teaching be serious and sincere.
8 Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.
9 Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;
10 not to contradict nor pilfer, but to exhibit praiseworthy trustworthiness in every thing, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 "For Gods grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men
12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;
13 While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."
15 Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

REPAINTING ROBIN'S DINING ROOM WALLS AN ELEGANT CHARTREUSE GREENA few months ago, Robin asked me to paint her dining room an off white and brown.
I painted over a beautiful deep burgundy that I painted when she first bought her home.
The new off white walls with brown ceiling and brown below the chair rail looked so elegant and nice. But,
the off white was just too boring for her taste. She found some new fabric to recover her chairs and asked me to paint her walls this LOVELY chartreuse green. It looks sooo good with the brown and the metallic gold trim. Years ago when I painted the burgundy, I painted the crown molding and baseboards a crackled metallic gold. It looked really fancy and fine in her beautiful dining room. Now, it still looks really good with her new chartreuse and brown.
It's wonderful and happens to be in the tones of my very favorite colors.
I love chartreuse and yellow greens.
This is the elegant off white and there's Robin holding her little cat Mitzi. Mitzi loves her mommy and one of her big sisters, but NOBODY else!!
Earlier, I had embossed and painted some scrollies around the room. To save time, Robin said she would paint around all the scrollies for me. I gave her a tiny brush and she went to work. She did a really good job, too!
This is her living room. I textured and faux painted those walls.
Those walls are really high!
Isn't it beautiful!
I've worked for Robin for many years and love working with her. She loves her home and is always finding ways for me to spruce it up for her.
Thank you for letting me be a small part of your beautiful home.

Being able to hide from sight is a key component to mission success. Milliken not only prints a wide range of visual camouflage, but we have technology that can help personnel hide in the dark, from multispectral detection devices, including radar and thermal imaging cameras.
As thermal imaging cameras become more portable, and more common, the need increases to hide personnel, especially at night. Working beyond the near infrared range (NIR), into the thermal infrared range, Conceal® camouflage technologies can reduce the risk of detection, so U.S. Armed Forces continue to own the night.By significantly reducing the thermal signature of the fabric, Conceal camouflage technology enables the fabric to have a similar surface temperature as the surrounding area. The wearer blends more easily into the background, making them harder to see, and less of a target.

Transformed by their arrival, the village struggles to hold on to its former way of life, unaware an old, long-forgotten evil stirs in the bowels of the ruined abbey that gave the village its name.

Home ownership is a hallmark of the American dream, but when you purchase a house, you may be getting more than you bargained for — particularly if you find out down the line that your home is suffering from an infestation of pests.
No, we're not talking about your son's obnoxious friends who eat all the cereal and leave their hockey jerseys lying around. We're talking about creepy, crawly critters like ants, termites, roaches, spiders, wasps, and even rodents. These unwanted guests bring with them a definite yuck factor, but they may also be damaging your home.
Termites are notorious for nibbling away at the wood of your home, and it's estimated that the average termite infestation costs $3,000 in repair costs — that's not even counting the money needed to eliminate the bugs themselves! Mice, rats, and voles can chew through floors, walls, doors, furniture, and many other household items. Cockroaches are allergenic and can spread disease. Carpenter ants hollow out wooden structures to nest inside. Many different pests may also be posing a risk to your electronic items, since they chew through the cords — in turn causing a fire hazard.
Of course, for most people just the very idea of having these insects and rodents inside their home, feasting on their crumbs, is enough to send them screaming for Pennsylvania pest control services.
If you suspect that there are pests living in your home, it's important to get advice and assistance from the experts. Trying to eradicate the pests on your own can lead to additional damage, and how will you be certain when the job is actually done? Instead, get peace of mind by calling in a pest control company.
The process of de-pestifying your property will begin with an inspection. The technicians will take a good look at the house and all the potential entry points into it, to determine the source of the problem. Once they have identified how the infestation began, they can then explain the necessary steps for stopping it — and for preventing the pests from ever returning.
You may need alterations to the structure of your home, or you may have unwanted moisture that is attracting insects. The pest control company will recommend services to help with exterior renovations, if necessary.
Next, they will address the interior spaces that are welcoming to the pests. Closing off unused areas of the home like crawlspaces, for example, may be a simple way to say goodbye to your pests.
The pest control company will also, if appropriate, use an organic, 100% natural spray that is toxic to the life forms you want to eliminate — but totally safe for you and your family. There's no need to spray poison all over the place when these organic compounds do the job just as well, with no risk to you or your pets.
Rather than getting in over your head — or worse, living with these critters! — why not leave this odious job to the professionals? Call your local pest control company today.
