I must tell you I was thrilled to bits when it was announced that Jodie Whittaker is going to be the new Doctor Who; especially since I was only saying two blogs ago that it is time the doctor regenerated as a female! I don't know much about Jodie although I am obviously familiar with her presence but looking at her, I am convinced she will do this role great justice.
It is such a shame that the so-called die-hards are saying they'll be boycotting the show; especially in the 21st cntury when women have greater presence than ever before in most walks of life. What does it matter if the Doctor is male or female as long as the show remains interesting, exciting and tells a great story? Would Star Wars have been the same without Princess Leia? Or the Alien films without Ripley? Personally I can't wait to see Jodie become the new President of the World and I await her first appearance with bated breath. Way to go, Jodie. Way to go!
And now, as Monty Python used to say, for something completely different. I was in the Crystal Palace Triangle the other day with my brother Paul who is visiting from Denmark. For those not in the know, the Crystal Palace Triangle forms the heart of the Crystal Palace area and consists of a number of antique shops and the best flea-market in the South East. This veritable Aladdin's Cave has everything you can imagine (and then some) and my brother - who is an accomplished artist and crafter - was smitten from the moment we walked in. Steve and I have often been there and you will be surprised what we have found. But amongst the treasures that caught my eye the other day were a number of old photograph albums - and I mean old. They reminded me that I have some already stashed at home and today I got them out for another look and spotted something I had missed before.
One of the albums has around 24 photos in it of cricketers. I knew they were there but upon examining them today I saw some had names written on them and I have been researching them all evening, names like J W Hearne, F E Woolley and G E C Wood. What a discovery! They all played for England and I think they took part in the 1925 Test Series! Really! Now you may not be interested in cricket but I totally love it, In fact Steve and I were at the Beckenham Cricket Ground a couple of weeks back watching the Kent Spitfires beat Essex in the T20 Blast! And, for the more romantic amongst you, cricket is also what brought Steve and I together. But that's another story. Anyway I was so excited when I realised what these old photos were that I have sent an email to the MCC Library. They might like to see them; you never know. So anyhow that is tonight's exciting news (exciting for me anyway).
Do have a bit going on with the Writing but I promise to update on that next time. Right now - I'm off for some chocolate .... bye ...

ENJ/BTC false breakdown fib 1?
BINANCE:ENJBTC Enjin Coin / Bitcoin

Just an update from my point of view, although there was a lots of ups and falls in price movements since the end of the December, the trend line still looking good . I think there could of be a false sign of breaking down through 1 fib (support) which could be a potential for the price break through new resistance at 0.78 fib. Maybe it is a good time to look at the symmetrical triangle however trend lines are with much time frame difference (not sure if I am interpreting this correctly). I know this sounds like very basic analyze but it would be much appreciated if I could have some feedback.

Disabled Adaptations
Disabled adaptations to Local Authority and privately-owned domestic properties are particularly specialised, requiring a special level of sensitivity to the occupier, with a technical understanding of the original Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) and current Equality Act 2010.
Our specialist teams have undertaken a number of internal and external adaptations to properties across the region, including:
- a recently completed five-year Framework Agreement, to install Easy Access modular ramps to an average of 140 properties per year in the North Lincolnshire area, under the Ramps for Disabled Householders scheme
- The supply and fit of a series of wetrooms in North Lincolnshire
- under an on-going Framework Agreement, a full programme of disabled adaptation and shower room facilities to North East Derbyshire District Council owned properties
- a comprehensive adaptation programme to 228 student properties at the Lincoln University Waterfront accommodation complex. Works comprised of refurbishment and alteration to both standard and disabled units in the three blocks of apartments.
Parsons have worked with housing associations, councils, commercial contractors and private residents for almost 60 years. If you're considering a disabled adaption then you really should be talking to Parsons…

"The Contracts Manager in particular showed a level of knowledge, care and professionalism that could only be admired. Various changes to the original specification and variations required throughout the job were met with an accommodating attitude of meeting the customer requirement; which may not have been so easily addressed with many contractors. The support given by Trevor and Gavin to the Parson's team was exemplary and showed clear leadership."

"Parsons had been the original contractor when the church hall was built in the 1960's therefore it seemed only natural for us to obtain a quotation for the work. This was very competitive and therefore accepted. From the outset Parsons proved to be very professional and offered advice when required. The various workpeople involved with the different stages of the project were efficient, polite and helpful. The standard of work was excellent. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this family run business to others."

The EU General Court has rejected an application to register THE LEADERSHIP COMPANY as a Community Trade Mark.
In essence the Court was of the opinion that there was a sufficiently direct and specific relationship between the services and the proposed community trade mark.
The rejection has been on the basis that, applying Article 7(1)(c) of the CTM Regulation (207/2009/EC), the wording was considered descriptive of the characteristics of the services concerned, namely, "executive recruitment services" and "recruitment consultation services" in class 35 .
In the present case, it must be determined whether the sign applied for, made up of the expression 'the leadership company', is, from the relevant public's point of view, descriptive of 'executive recruitment services' and 'recruitment consultation services' under Class 35 or of one of their characteristics. First, those services are the only ones that the applicant had relied on in support of its action against the examiner's decision, so that the Board of Appeal could legitimately confine its assessment to the services referred to (paragraphs 9 to 14 of the contested decision). Secondly, in its application, the applicant did not dispute that approach of the Board of Appeal and similarly confined its reasoning to those services.

I'll be using the newest Claire Shaeffer pattern from Vogue, #8991, a white-flecked black wool/nylon blend (mostly wool) boucle-type fabric from Hancock Fabrics, charcoal grey silk charmeuse for the lining, and gorgeous pewter and black enamel buttons. It'll be fun, right? (Right??) Luckily, we've formed a support group to help us get through the challenge; it'll meet bi-weekly.
So far I've focused on planning and picking my fabrics and details, which is how I roll with sewing projects–get all the major decisions out of the way up front and have a clear design concept. Recently I cut the pattern pieces apart, and I'll start tracing and adjusting them soon.
My goal is to make something sleek and modern and minimalist compared to the crazy overwrought fringe-fests of many Chanel jackets. I just don't like a lot of fringe, although it works on many of the design house's pieces. I don't need to add bulk to my frame, and I prefer clean edges. So my design plan is to make this jacket without any additional trims, zero fringe, but to have the charcoal-grey charmeuse lining extend beyond the outer fabric's edges, folding back to the garment edge to create a kind of frame effect. This is a trim alternative frequently used by Chanel.
This pattern is a bit odd, as it has a princess seam that terminates in the NECK, not the more-typical shoulder or armscye. I'm just not sure how to do the necessary full bust adjustment on it. It's probably going to take actually making a muslin of the pattern as-is and cutting/slashing the mock-up on my body to figure out how to make that adjustment. We'll see…

ABOVE US ONLY SKY: Music at L'pool John Lennon
While there we heard about a happening taking place there last week.
The New York musicians "Bang on a Can Allstars" performed their "Music for Airports" in the departure lounge! The piece was composed by Brian Eno in 1978 and until last week, this live version ( created by Bang on a Can Allstars ) had never been heard before in a UK airport....
" Bang on a Can" are a brilliant mix of rock band, classical ensemble and part jazz band. They performed at the Philharmonic , L'pool last week ( as well as in the departure lounge! ) and soon they return to L'pool with their modern opera" The Carbon Copy Building".
The airport recital was the initial event in the Autumn Season of the Liverpool Performs 2006 artistic programme. It's presented by the Liverpool Culture Company.
I just wish our pickup duty had been earlier in the week!

Is it safe to go back into the water?
The association between bathing in recreational waters and the risk of illness has been the subject of many epidemiological studies since the 1950s. A large number of these investigations report that exposure to water contaminated with faecal material increases a person's risk of illness, particularly symptoms of gastrointestinal illness.However, not all studies report such results and the evidence that bathing increases a person's risk of illness is still uncertain. There is a perception among policy-makers in high-income countries that the risk of ill health associated with bathing is negligible, since many high-income countries report high rates of compliance with bathing water quality regulations.
Many countries regularly monitor bathing waters for these FIOs to ensure that levels of faecal contamination are not high enough to pose an excess risk to bather health, as recommended by the World Health Organization. However, the cost of this activity restricts the agencies responsible for monitoring bathing waters to testing samples taken from a limited number of bathing waters during periods of high use (commonly called 'the bathing season'). Due to the large spatial and temporal fluctuations in FIO densities that occur in natural waters, weekly measurements are unlikely to capture high levels of faecal pollution that occur in between samples. A number of recent studies have reported that even in bathing waters that were considered to be of good quality (containing low levels of FIOs), bathers were still at an increased risk of experiencing gastrointestinal illness, along with respiratory infections and ear and eye ailments.Therefore, it is useful to know what risk of illness people face when they bathe in natural waters, regardless of the timing or levels of FIOs.

Corruption index: Thumbs up to government but not police
Corruption index: Thumbs up to government but not police
Submitted by Najiah on Friday, December 10th, 2010
Datuk Paul Low Local TRANSPARENCY International Malaysia (TI-M)
Friday, December 10th, 2010 13:02:00
LOW: Perception on petty corruption has improved but the public still perceive that not much has been done on grand corruption
KUALA LUMPUR: The positive perception by Malaysians of the government's actions in fighting corruption has jumped drastically compared with last year.
However, police led the opinion poll on the agency perceived to be the most corrupt.
These were the findings of the Transparency International Global Corruption Barometer (GCB) 2010 survey, which was unveiled this morning at the Royal Selangor Club, here.
Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) president Datuk Paul Low revealed that 48 per cent of Malaysians polled thought the government's actions were effective, 32 per cent were neutral while 20 per cent reckoned the government's actions were ineffective.
"This is a drastic turnaround from the previous year where 28 per cent thought the government's actions were effective, six per cent were neutral and 67 per cent deemed the government's actions ineffective.
"The 48 per cent mark substantially exceeds the government's key performance index (KPI) of 37 per cent. However, the government did not meet its 4.9 KPI target for its corruption perception index (CPI). Its current score of 4.4 is almost the same as last year's 4.5," Low said.
He said the positive perception could be due to the government's initiative to address corruption. Among those cited by Low were:
● Integrity as a National Key Result Area (NKRA), with improvement in the CPI score from 4.5 to 4.9 as a KPI
● The formation of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) with more power and autonomy, as well as review by independent panels
● The establishment of the Whistleblower Protection Act, which will come into force on Sunday, to expose corruption by protecting whistleblowers and for Malaysia to meet its obligations under the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC)
● TI's Integrity Pacts (IP) to be implemented in government procurement (Treasury directive dated April 1, 2010)
● Government guidelines on "support letters", where verbal and written letters must be filed and reported. Support letters cannot be a factor in decision-making while reports are to be made to the department or relevant agencies, for example the MACC
● The launch of the MyProcurement website on April 1 which makes transparent the tender-awarding process
● The formation of 18 special corruption courts and amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code to expedite corruption trials currently in progress
● The "name and shame" method in the Convicted Corruption Offenders Database on MACC's website, displaying convicted offenders' details, charges and sentences, as well as photographs
● The establishment of compliance units in key enforcement agencies like the police, Road Transport Department, Customs Department, Immigration Department and the MACC.
On a less positive note, the police were perceived to be the most corrupt institution with a score of 4.1, followed by political parties (4) and the Parliament (3.4).
Low said although the public's confidence in the government's aim to fight corruption had risen, there were indications of insufficient political will to eradicate corruption.
"Perception on petty corruption has improved but the public still perceive that not much has been done on grand corruption. For example, no big fishes being brought to book, poor progress in identifying and prosecuting culpable persons in the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco; no further action by the Attorney-General against those implicated in judicial appointment tampering like the VK Lingam tapes, despite the Royal Commission's findings and recommendations; the continuing and snowballing practice of awarding mega projects and contracts without open tenders or competitive bidding; and IPs yet to be implemented."
TIM also recommended the government go one step further by making MACC more independent and autonomous.
"No one is above the law. It should report directly to a Parliamentary committee and be given prosecution powers, thereby reforming financing and regulation of political parties, elections and public disclosure of politicians' assets.
"The government should promote freedom of information by repealing or drastically curbing legislation, such as the Official Secrets Act, Sedition Act and Printing Presses and Publications Act. Effective and vigorous enforcement of laws and policies should be carried out, including on suspects in high-profile cases involving money laundering and transfers," Low said.
Meanwhile, TI revealed the global perception of corruption in the media decreased to 2.7 this year from 3.7 in 2009.
"Forty-four per cent thought the media was e ffective in fighting corruption. A lot of countries rely on their Press, thus investigative journalism is important. Our media should not be afraid to highlight the truth for fear of their licences being revoked."
The barometer, now in its seventh edition, covers 86 countries. It was carried out between June 1 and Sept 30 this year.
In Malaysia, 1,008 individuals aged 16 and above were surveyed using face-to-face method, with 57 per cent hailing from urban areas and 43 per cent residing in rural areas.
Local sampling was done by TNS Malaysia.
3 Responses to "Corruption index: Thumbs up to government but not police"
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Link exchange is nothing else however it is just placing the other person's blog link on your page at suitable place and other person will also do same in support of you.
Hi there! This is my 1st comment here so I just
wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading your
articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that
deal with the same subjects? Thanks!

Technology is changing a fundamental thing about how we read
This article explains how our reading changes on digital screens. I think it depends on the content that we read. If we are on news sites, then yes, we jump around and we might skim the news and not remember so much. But if we read a book on a Kindle, then for me it is the same experience as with a paper book, only that I don't have the nice smell of the paper pages and cannot leaf through the pages. But I am not distracted. Also, an LCD screen might hurt the eyes a little bit more than a real book. Here, again, the Kindle with its e-ink screen is better. But apart from that, as I said, I think it depends on the information we consume on how we read, not the screen. What do you think?
In the not too distant past, we used to read, properly. Be it a
book, magazine, or a letter, we would start at the front and work
Even newspapers were consumed in a logical format. Since the
arrival of multiple screens, smart devices and the Internet,
something has changed. Now we either choose to read or skim depending on the media in
front of us.
Web users are hopping all over the place like frogs on a hot
plate, with link to adverts, boxouts, pop-ups and other
distractions breaking any attempt to follow the flow of any text.
Reading between the science
Science believes that the rise of electronic reading means we now
have bi-literate brains that diverge when it
comes from reading from a paper-based source, or off a
screen. Whenever we pick up a tablet or e-reader, the mind
prepares to be diverted and jump…

Custom PopUps and Modal Dialogs in Flex
In this post, I will show how to create modal dialogs in flex. In Flex, everything is so "damn" asynchronous. Well, I think that is a good thing, but it also poses interesting questions, for instance on how to make your user wait for something to complete. You can use modal dialogs built as custom PopUps for that.
Custom PopUps
You use the mx.managers.PopUpManager class to create and remove popup windows. With this, you can create both modal and nonmodal dialogs, simply by putting true or false in third parameter to createPopUp.
In this example, I will start with defining the dialog window to popup. This is defined in the file MyDialog.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" title="My Dialog" showCloseButton="true" close="closeDialog(event)">
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
private function closeDialog(event : CloseEvent) : void {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); // close this dialog
<mx:TextInput id="input" />
<mx:Button label="OK" click="closeDialog(null)"/>
As you can see, the dialog is a TitleWindow, and it contains a close-cross in the top corner and a button. Both will call the closeDialog method if clicked, which will make the dialog remove itself using PopUpManager.
And here comes the Main.mxml file, which opens the dialog when a button is clicked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>When the example is run, you will see that everything else but the dialog is greyed out and not focus enabled.
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
private function showDialog() : void {
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyDialog, true); // popup modal dialog
<mx:Button label="Open Modal Dialog" click="showDialog()"/>
Downloading the source
As usual, I have zipped up the sources for you. It can be downloaded from here. Ready to be build with maven.

She was my favourite teacher and was always very motivational and helpful. She always pushed you to do your best and helped give insight on possible university alternatives and help. She was the best teacher to have since she was logical, clear and fun yet strict when she needed to be.
Helped me reach my potential in HSC bio, incredibly knowledgable and motivating
Ms Milanes is a very knowledgeable teacher when it comes to Biology. She is an excellent source of motivation and reality checks. She is strict when it comes to completing tasks, but her classes her still very enjoyable.
Unsure if she even understands the topics she covers. Someone on Science who thinks Evolution is a myth, despite the evidence.

After all of the cakes and baked goodies on Sunday we're back to a bit healthier fare. Tonight was Lemon & Rosemary Chicken Kabobs. These are fun and easy and Joseph even gets to say he helped. He did a great job grilling them up tonight!
Today I used some boneless/skinless chicken thighs and a chicken breast. I cut them into strips and dropped them in a bag with the two squeezed lemons, 5 cloves of garlic (much of it is lost in the grilling), one sprig of fresh rosemary - chopped, a healthy drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. I left that to marinate for a couple of hours. Later I skewered them with large slices of zucchini, onion, and red pepper. Joseph grilled them perfectly and we enjoyed. These were really flavorful and tender.
(Last time I used only chicken breasts and I pounded them before cutting - this worked well...even though the marinade tenderizes them enough without the pounding. So use your judgement. I hope you try these...they were yummy!)

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
(toward the wells) Bero'‐tha‐i (my wells). The first of these two names is given by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 47:16) in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the promised land. The second is mentioned (2 Samuel 8:8) in the same connection. The well‐known city Beirut (Berytus) naturally suggests itself as identical with one at least of the names; but in each instance the circumstances of the case seem to require a position farther east. They were probably in the vicinity of the springs near the present [A.D. 1884 ‐ BLB Ed.] Hasbeya.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.

One persons 'art' and another persons mindless vandalism - you might guess where we fall..
Tuesday morning Joe returned the hire car we had used over the weekend to Enterprise and we pulled pins and set off down the Main Line to wind (turn) at the Soho/Icknield junction.

Passing through the Worcester Bar
We turned sharp right on to the service point here and filled the water tank - the washing machine was already working its magic on the bedding and towels.
Selly Oak AqueductI walked from Birmingham to Norton Junction but the dogs had to remain on their leads because of the number of cyclists using the towpath. At Kings Norton we got back aboard ready to go through the Wast Hill Tunnel.
The service point at Kings Norton - the rubbish strewn outside is boaters waste including a porta potty cassette, how pleasant.

We will stay here a Hopwood for a couple of days and have a root about before moving on slowly towards Worcester.

The majority in Rongonui v R [2010] NZSC 92 did not share the Chief Justice's view that "res gestae" is an outmoded term (see Hart v R [2010] NZSC 91 at 17, noted below).
In Rongonui, Blanchard, Tipping, McGrath and Wilson JJ held jointly that res gestae statements are not within the scope of s 35 Evidence Act 2006 (prior consistent statements) [46]. Terminology might be in doubt, as the judgment refers to "what used to be called" res gestae evidence [47], and at [46] the phrase "words spoken in the course of the events in issue" is used – but that could hardly have been intended to be a convenient substitute for the term "res gestae".
Res gestae statements therefore continue to be admissible in the same circumstances in which they were admissible at common law.
The joint judgment in Rongonui also tidied up what was becoming a needlessly contentious issue: a spurious exclusion of implied statements from the scope of "statements" (see the definition of "statement" in s 4 Evidence Act 2006), especially in relation to the statutory hearsay rule. A statement is an assertion, and an assertion may be express or implied [33]. The Crown in Rongonui could not argue that evidence that the complainant told someone "what had happened" was not an assertion that she had given the same account of events as she was giving in court. Those words carried the implication of consistency, and were accordingly an assertion of consistency, and in the circumstances of this case were an inadmissible prior consistent statement.
There is much overlap between Rongonui and the Court's other decision of today, Hart (see below), especially on the incorporation of what used to be called recent complaint evidence in sex cases into s 35 so that they no longer need to be "recent" in the common law sense, they are admissible as proof of the truth of their assertions, but they are only admissible when the conditions in s 35 are met. That is not a formidable obstacle, as usually the defence in such cases will be alleging recent invention.
It seems to me that if the defence specifies when it claims invention first occurred, consistent statements before that will have a relevance that is more likely to be obvious than consistent statements made after that date, although generalisation is dangerous and the circumstances of each case will need consideration in assessing the probative value of the challenged consistent statement. That there will be difficulties is signaled by the Chief Justice's dissent in Rongonui on the s 35 point.
Barlien got a drubbing today. It has up to now been cited by the Court of Appeal mainly for the point on which it was approved: that when the prior consistent statement is admissible it is admissible as proof of what it asserts. In two cases Barlien has been noted uncritically on other points now corrected by the Supreme Court: in Ringi v R [2008] NZCA 293 it was mentioned as showing the difficulties of s 35, and in a case which carried a suppression order so I only cite its number, CA529/2008, Barlien was mentioned as authority for the proposition that res gestae evidence is no longer admissible. Another aspect of Barlien - observations on potential difficulties concerning identification evidence - has been called into question by the Chief Justice in footnote 29 of Hart; the Court of Appeal cited Barlien uncritically on that point in CA108/2009.
All judges in Rongonui agreed that the trial had involved breaches of s 90(5) Evidence Act 2006, and the joint judgment, with which Elias CJ agreed, contains some comments on deciding when a record is capable of refreshing a witness's memory.

Glitz and humour prove a liberating mix.
Star rating: ****
Venue: Assembly George Square Theatre (The Box) Venue 8
No-one likes the word comedienne any more. But for Amelia Ryan it's a good fit. Ryan is a drop-dead gorgeous funny girl, who sings, sparkles and isn't averse to a bit of good old-fashioned vulgarity.
She's one of those women who effervesces with proper glamour, even in a shipping container outside a university library. She's carried on to the stage, I won't tell you how, wrapped in a towel, which you just know is going to have a fabulous sparkly gown underneath.
There are further costume changes later in the show - managed by getting two audience members to hold up a sheet.
Ryan is, daft, funny and tremendously likeable. At one point she's dressed up as a low-budget Disney mermaid with one member of the audience blowing bubbles and another pretending to be a fish. Her show is the story of how she found her groove. How a small town girl from nowhere Australia dreamt of going to New York and finding freedom.
She illustrates her adventures with beautifully-sung well-known pop and musical numbers with cleverly and wittily rewritten lyrics, accompanied by the fantastic Michael Griffiths on piano.
Although outwardly she's all sparkle and showbiz, Ryan's inspirations are powerful fabulous women – not just Bette Midler, as you might expect, but also Gloria Steinem and Maya Angelou.
There's a dark side to show business and the pursuit of beauty which can have a damaging effect on young women and Ryan is not afraid to talk about it.
She not perfect, she makes mistakes – and we like Amelia Ryan all the more for letting us know that.
There's a lot of glitter in this show but it has heart, and a feminist heart at that.
Until 28 August. Tomorrow 9:40pm.

Even though I meal plan every week, I feel like we're always eating the same things. There are millions of great recipes out there, and then there we are every Tuesday having Tacos. It's going to be my goal to try out at least one new recipe each week. If we like it, then we can add it to the rotation, if not, then at least we tried something new!
This recipe caught my eye because it's relatively easy and actually pretty healthy. It's also versatile in the sense that you could add/remove certain ingredients and it would still turn out nicely. Some people make it vegetarian by excluding the chicken and substituting the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Others added fresh or fire roasted tomatoes.
- 1.5 cups of brown rice, cooked in 3 cups of chicken broth
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced and halved
- 1 cup of mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 chicken breast halves, chopped
- Seasoning salt to taste
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 can of black beans (14 oz)
- 1 can of diced green chile peppers (4 oz)
- 1 – 2 cups of shredded cheese, I used a combo of marble and Parmesan but pretty much any hard cheese would do!
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
2. In a large pan or wok, cook the chicken breast along with the olive oil until it's no longer pink. Add in the garlic, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with seasoning salt and cook until the vegetables are slightly browned.
3. Add the beans, chile peppers and cooked rice until well incorporated. Mix in half of the cheese and transfer to baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and bake for approx. 20 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and slightly brown.
Makes approx 6 servings.

**Disclosure- I wrote this last week, then got a horrible virus, and felt like death, and now I'm just getting around to posting this…
A few weeks ago I got a new camera. I'm no pro, but I do appreciate good photography, or at least good pictures. We found a great used cannon EOS 20D on craigslist, that a home and gardens photographer used with an upgraded lens (that was worth more than the camera itself). It was a VERY good price, so we decided to buy it. If you haven't noticed already, I LOVE taking pictures of my family. If you're my friend on Facebook, then you are probably annoyed by my incessant picture uploads. I can't help it though… it's just what I do.
So, we took it to the Alpharetta Arts Street Festival in downtown Alpharetta to give it a test run. I practiced using the "AV" mode to focus on objects close up and leave the objects far away out of focus. Here are some of my more successful attempts…
I have so much to learn about the camera, but it will have to take some time since I have my hands full right now to say the least. I'm excited about this new hobby since it incorporates a few of my passions: Family, Art and Nature.
I got to use the camera some more this weekend over Easter. We had a great weekend. We kicked it off by doing an egg hunt at a nearby church. They had egg hunts divided by age group, inflatable slides, freshly popped popcorn, and other treats. The weather was perfect 70's with a slight breeze. They told us upon entry, that they would announce when the egg hunt would begin, and once they announced Parker's age group, we headed down to where his egg hunt would be, which was in a small playground nearby. Once we got there it was a madhouse. No eggs were to be found anywhere! A little discouraging for Parker's very first hunt.
But we decided to hang out anyway and let him enjoy the playground for a little bit. I think Parker had his eye on a special little someone. First crush perhaps?
But, then they announced that they were going to have another hunt for those who arrived late (or in our case, those of us who got NO eggs).
The second hunt was a success! Three eggs. Since it was a mixed group, a few older kid "vultures" swooped in at the last minute, but it was still a lot of fun.
We spent Sunday going to church and visiting with family at Aunt Vicki's house. She has a beautiful new home and backyard. It made for a perfect setting for Parker to have another little egg hunt.
It was fun to see my cousins there. I remember when we all were kids, eating at the "kid" table, and hunting for eggs ourselves. Now, our kids are enjoying Easter. Good times. Here's a picture of the boys together. Jackson in the front shares the same birthday with Parker, but a year later. He's only five pounds less than Parker! What a cute little chunker!
I feel like the luckiest person in the world. I got to spend a wonderful Easter with my incredible husband, and my two beautiful Easter bunnies.

If it's a color I really love a lot, yes. Usually, if it's a color I love, I can tell slight differences, and those slight differences matter to me. A friend of mine loves medium browns and taupes, and to the average person, they all look alike, but to her, they're not, so she's happy. The other case is if I love the color I have but may not love the formula and want a similar color but with better wear, texture, etc.

This is such a relatable question for me this week! I have and love MAC Satin Taupe and Sable, but I'm close to running out. I'm thinking of purchasing Naked 3 since it has so many beautiful colors including ones that look similar to ST and Sable in swatches, but slight differences matter when it comes to what looks flattering on me. I'm going to have to test them out in person this weekend to figure it out!
Lips, yes. Cheeks – more varied, but some are similar. Eyes – not really
I unconsciously do. I definitely have some favorite shades, I find I purchase the same or similar shades from different companies in different formulas without thinking. I go for a nail polish, and think, Oh that's a pretty color and pick it up only to come home and find that I have six others just like it.(๑-﹏-๑)
I'm well on my way to owning every possible dupe of UD's Lounge! I've never met a duochrome I didn't like, actually. They're my weakness!
I also have countless teal eyeliners and every one is different.
If the finish is different or the level of opacity is different then I will if it's a color I know works well for me.
I own so many rosy-nude-taupe lipsticks. I can't wear a lot of pale nudes because they wash me out, so I buy a ton of YSL RV #2-type shades because I love them so much.
What are some of the colors? I have the same problem, and find the peachy browns or taupey browns make the best neutral lipsticks on me. The pink/nudes make me look dead.
YES! I was just telling my friend this week that aside from all my other makeup addiction. I am addicted to any coral colored products. Even nail polishes. And i must say I wont stop! I want it all!!!!
For Coral…try SpaRitual's new Wilderness nail polish. It is SO gorgeous.
OMG I Love it!! Thank you. Reminds me of my favorite color blush from NARS in orgasm.
My intention is always to buy something different but i always wind up with the same-ish shade (quest for the 'perfect' shade) of lipstick, blush and shadow….different brands but similar shades…(how boring is my stash!!!).
Definitely, particularly when it comes to lip color. Even though the shades might be similar, I like to try out different formulas in search of products that are more pigmented or opaque, more moisturizing, and longer-lasting.
Yes. I'm really drawn to corals in blushes and lipsticks, and I do own several that are similar to each other, i also cannot resist a dark, bottle green eye shadow, or any green eye shadow for that matter. So I also have lots of eye shadows in similar shades.
Definitely yes. Fuchsia lipsticks and coral blushes. And probably, I'll purchased more of this colors. Love, love, love them, and I know that are similar shades but I see the differences between them.
Yes haha. I am like that with orange and coral lipsticks. And blushes. Gold eye shadow is another thing that I also buy a lot of. But like you said, they all seem different to me.
I love warm nudes but I can see the difference in the shades in the ones I have.
I do. One reason is that I don't like to use different brands for eyeshadows in one look, so as a result, I have nearly identical shades across brands.
When it comes to blush, I stay within a narrow range, and once applied, very similar. Unless I find something noticeably different, I'm done buying blush for quite a while.
I spent quite a considerable amount of time & money trying to find the "right" red lipstick, and as a result., have a few dozen that are very close, particularly when applied. The same can be said for nudes, but I wear them more often, so it doesn't seem as bad.
Peachy pink blushes are my kryptonite. I also keep buying neutral brown eyeshadow palettes, even though they're all comparable, I'm sure.
Sure I do. Sometimes, I like a shade so much that I want it in different finishes or product forms, so I'll duplicate based on how often I think I'll use it. Reds are probably the worst offenders in my collection because I wear it so much that even small nuances are enough to justify the purchase to me, but I've got quite a few vampy shades that are fairly close to each other, as well. (You have no idea how crushed I am that Chanel's Rouge Noir has been discontinued! ;-; ) I also tend to overlap on colors I wear a lot – like pale beige mattes, which I always hit pan on because it's the shade I always use on my brow area.
Yes! I have found this has been happening a lot lately.
Pinky nude/mauve-ish lipsticks, coral-orange nail polish, black liquid eyeliner, and red nail polish. The pinky nudes are because I just like those colors for everyday. Coral-orange nail polish is one of my favorites. The liquid eyeliner was because I looking for my favorite one, found it with Rimmel Scandal Eyes Micro-liner. And red is my favorite color, classic, and I love having multiple shades to choose from. Good question, Christine!
i often do this, especially with lipstick. i'll buy something that i think is gorgeous, only to get it home, swatch it next to what i already have and realize it's the same color. i guess this just means i know what i like?! i'm trying to get better…sometimes i'll bring a bunch of lipsticks i already have shopping with me to compare. yeah, i'm the girl pulling 15 lipsticks out of her bag to make sure she doesn't have the exact same shade (slight differences are accepted). other times i'll go around to all the counters with the pretty shade i've just found to compare…then again, sometimes i love a color so much, it doesn't matter how many i already have that are close.
Yes, because typically they have different finishes or enough variation in colour or texture to be meaningful (to me at least!)
If it's a shade I really adore, a better scent or packaging will swing me, regardless…
Pink lipsticks are my weakness, I have almost every variation there is, I love them, even if it's close to one I already own I most likely will buy it. Highlights is another product that I do the same with.
Yes, particularly when my favorites are out of stock, discontinued, or having a much higher quality.
Generally speaking I try not to unless I love the colour but the product wasn't quite up to scratch in which case I'll try another brand – this usually happens with lipstick more so than any other type of makeup. I have several blushes but they're all different although come to think of it as far as eyeshadows are concerned I do believe I've duplicated a few of them without realising (I'm having a few 'senior moments' these days!) and then I could kick myself because I can't return them as I've already used them. Sigh…
I absolutely do this. Most of the time it is a different formula or finish, though. I do this mostly with lip products, but do it with cheek and eye products as well. With cheek and eyes, I usually do it with mineral products. MAC's mineral products are so different than their other products in application and wear, I buy dupes. In mineral eye products, I wear them a little wet, so I do not want to wear them daily (they are heavy on my eyelids by the end of the day). I like having a back-up that is similar. Also, shimmer can make a huge difference in a color.
I suppose if you run a blog with an extensive dupe list, you'd have to 🙂
On a personal level, I agree, I do this a lot with colors I love. Especially for lipsticks and blush. Happens with eyeshadow all the time because of palettes and sets. Not so much with nail polish though. I actually try to actively avoid anything that could be considered a dupe, but I have way too much nail polish.
Yes! So guilty of this. I'm trying to be better at it, but I am such a sucker for neutral eye shadows, peach cheeks, and nude lips. In fact I bought three nude lipsticks yesterday! I always wear shades along those lines anyway though, so it's not like it goes to waste 🙂
Yes. You kind of have to if you're a makeup hoarder. Also, I find that if I buy shades that I really like, I wear them. I learned not to buy eyeshadow palettes with bright colors because I won't wear them. Similarly, I would never buy a high end red lipstick. I have 2 red lipsticks and that's more than enough. Meanwhile, plums and MLBBs are my weakness. I can never get enough! If I get colors I love (warm bronzes, browns, plums, rose golds and mauves for eyeshadow, for example), I get so much more use out of them. I personally can tell the difference between colors, which is how I justify owning as much makeup as I do.
I'm so guilty of doing this with lipsticks and eyeshadows! Nothing wrong with it though! 🙂
My makeup and nail polish collection at a quick glance looks 80% blue polish and fuschia lipstick. 🙂 I try hard not to buy exact dupes unless I want a back up or dislike the wear/texture of what I already own. My philosophy is, if I'm going to spend my cash on something, I really better love the color and product, and will use it enough to justify the purchase, so I've made peace with the fact I'm going to go for colors I love and that I know work.
I am so bad with teal, violet, chartreuse, and periwinkle eyeshadow and coral lip products. 😡
Yes! Especially if I love a certain color, but don't love the formula. I've actually started working "backwards" and finding a formula I love, then looking for a shade within that formula. Much less frustration. I do reach a saturation point with certain shades though. Case in point…peachy-pink blushes. I have a bunch, but I do wear all of them. I really, really did not need DiorBlush in Corail Bagatelle, but it looked so gorgeous on Christine that I had to have it. And, it's now my favorite coral-pink of all time. But, if there is a shade I rarely wear, I try to limit myself, knowing it won't get as much love.
I have so much purple eyeshadow (and nail polish), but I'm crazy enough to discern between them all and think to myself "today, I want to wear shade X" even if it's really close to shade Y, it's important to have X.
I also have a major issue with teal eyeliner. I'm easily satisfied by my handful of teal eyeshadow, but if I see an eyeliner that looks like it might be good, I end up leaping at it.
Reds. I own more than ever necessary but I know it's still a color I'll always buy variations of. No matter how similar they may be to something I already own.
For colors that I love, definitely! I can totally see the difference between them, even if they look the same to others. For colors that I don't use often, such as colored eyeshadow, I'll only buy one of a certian shade, and if I'm tempted to buy another, I'll remind myself how little I use the first. I really don't need five variations of blue eyeshadow, since I rarely wear it, but I totally need multiple black and brown eyeliners and lipsticks in my favorite shades. 🙂
yes! i'm awful. i probably could create the biggest eyeshadow rainbow ever!
I try not to, but there are colors I definitely gravitate towards. Sometimes I search for a good dupe to favorite coots in pallets so that way when I'm home I can use the singles but when I'm traveling I don't have to worry about running out of a particular shade. This has lead to several purchases of a similar color on purpose finding the "best" one. Lipsticks I'm always trying because I don't have time to reapply a bunch of times. So if I wear a bold color it has to last throughout the day. I hate looking in the mirror and seeing a patchy faded lip, or almost worse is faded and dried out. Looking for that perfect hydrating (or at least not drying) plus staying power bold lipstick color.

This photograph was taken in the garden of the house where she lived before she was married and where she returned to live when war broke out in 1939. She spent the rest of her life there until she died in 1999. I think of her often, especially at this time of year because my garden is full of her flowers. My grandfather was a keen gardener but they had traditional roles, his area was the vegetable plot and my grandmother's domain was the flower borders. Some of the flowers in my garden actually came from these very borders, their roots teased up on hot sunny days as the two of us meandered around the Swithland slate paths admiring her handiwork. I planted these gifts in our first garden, taking pieces of them to our second house and to our third. When we move from here I will take parts of them with me again.
So here are some of the plants from Grandma's garden.
I adore these Icelandic poppies with their petals like tissue paper. They were some of her favourites too.
I cannot see a paeony without thinking of my grandmother, but they grew much better in her garden, with the benefit of a warming brick wall behind them, than they do in mine with its Westerly winds which are blowing a gale as I write.
She used to cut armfuls of lilac and bring it into the breakfast room, arranged casually in a large bowl and placed in the centre of the mahogany table. The scent of it transports me straight back to my childhood.
I don't know the name of this little fern-like plant with yellow flowers but it used to grow everywhere at Grandma's house, even in chinks in the wall. It's taken ages to get going here, literally years, but now, all of a sudden, it is spreading beautifully and brightening up those areas where not much else will grow.
These two roses weren't from Grandma's garden but she bought them both for us soon after we moved here and the tiny pink one has never had so many flowers as it has this year.
This is called London Pride and used to grow in a narrow border along the side of my grandmother's house. I can still see her kneeling and weeding as I ran across the lawn towards her.
The path to the big front door was staight and crazy-paved. On either side of it, in the narrow borders there were frilly petalled pinks and mounds of soft, silver-leaved 'snow on the mountain'.
Finally, these centaurea which were probably some of the first plants she gave to me from her garden and which the bees love almost as much as I do.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas shopping season. Aisles packed with frantic parents trying to remember what size shirt their teenage son is, or frustrated Dads charging past a mechanical reindeer that glides past the shop entrances. With an artificial tree several floors high and a Santa's grotto with queues that would make retail CEOs weak at the knees. Crawley County Mall looks just like a Christmas card, albeit one you send in jest to a close friend to bemoan the festive season in the twenty-first century.
I myself was doing a spot of festive shopping a couple of weeks ago, and considering how busy it was then, I dread to think how it is now. But a particular scene in River Island really got to me: I was queuing to buy some clothes when I heard a young girl ask "Mum, ow many days until Santa comes?" There was a pause while Mum did the maths, before she replied "34." The girl's response? "But that's aaaaaaaages away."
My God. The little primary school girl had hit the big red man with the long white beard square in the face with a barrage of snowballs. She doesn't understand why on earth we should be getting in the Christmas mood in November any more than we do, except we just shrug it off and occasionally shake our fists at the retail giants who shove mince pies down our throats at the earliest opportunity.
Believe me, I understand it's good to get ahead of the game and buy presents now before it gets really stressful, and some retailers only stay afloat thanks to the festive period. But I want to hear "Fairytale of New York" for the first time when I start opening the doors on my advent calendar, not forced upon me by a fuzzy speaker next to a bleary eyed elf who looks ready to drown themselves in eggnog.
I know some stubborn purists and borderline Scrooges who are worse than me and insist Christmas belongs to Christmas Day itself, and not a day earlier. I suppose I sit comfortably in the middle; once the advent calendar has begun, so does my festive spirit. Out comes a colossal yuletide playlist, mince pies are always waiting in my kitchen cupboard, and I'm never seen without my Christmas jumper. I've had the same one for three years now, and never felt the need to change it; it has all the festive qualities without the weird knobbly bits that look so unflattering.
A month of Christmas shenanigans is enough for me. In my books, extending the festive season in to November removes some of the magic that makes Christmas so special; that feeling we long for each time it comes round. Yet that only reinforces just how diverse Christmas is, even within your own country. For many in times of hardship, be those economic or personal, Christmas is a constant that we can rely on to come about and spread peace and goodwill. Numerous renditions of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas stress the importance of temporarily forgetting your troubles so that they do not constantly weigh you down.
In fact, the more I think about it, who am I to bemoan a source of comfort to those who really need it? If it really does roast your chestnuts, the best thing to do is to keep it to yourself, like all the other annoyances you deal with on a daily basis. So, if you were to ask when does the festive season actually begin, I guess there are two answers to my question: Christmas Day will always be the main source of celebrations, but otherwise Christmas begins when you want it to. Just make sure you go into it with all guns blazing.

How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?
It's no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase "As pretty as an airport" appear
The language of truth is unadorned and always simple.
Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells you where its people came from and where they are going.
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
To have another language is to possess a second soul.
Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter!
Those who know nothing of foreign languages, knows nothing of their own.
Who climbs the grammar-tree, distinctly knows
Where noun, and verb, and participle grows.
Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their place.
The coldest word was once a glowing new metaphor.
The English language is rather like a monster accordion, stretchable at the whim of the editor, compressible ad lib.
The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean
A laudation in Greek is of marvellous efficacy on the title-page
of a book.
[Fr., Une louange en grec est d'une merveilleuse efficace a la
tete d'un livre.]

After years of doubt and tensions, the Presidents of Russia and Ukraine today signed a friendship treaty designed to strengthen the weak bonds between the two Slavic states.
The treaty was signed in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, on Boris N. Yeltsin's first trip there as President of Russia. Many previous visits were scheduled or considered, but all were postponed because of tensions over the future of the Black Sea Fleet, territorial disputes in the ethnic Russian region of Crimea, which is part of Ukraine, and other issues.
But now, with NATO ready to expand eastward, Russia is looking to bolster its defense and prove to the West that it still has power worth worrying about. So Russia has quickly made past problems disappear -- at least for a while.
''My friend President Kuchma and I vow at this sacred place, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, that the treaty that we sign today will be fulfilled,'' Mr. Yeltsin said as he stood with President Leonid Kuchma this morning. He said he would issue strict orders to the Russian leadership that the relationship with Ukraine ''is a priority of priorities for us.''
''We respect and honor the territorial integrity of Ukraine,'' Mr. Yeltsin added, in an important aside. Many Russian leaders have urged the Kremlin to try to claim the city of Sevastopol in the Crimea -- the base of the Black Sea Fleet -- as Russian.Continue reading the main story
The Crimea was ceded to Ukraine as a gift from Russia by Nikita S. Khrushchev in 1954. At the time, the gesture was essentially symbolic since both Russia and the Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union, but it has been a matter of intense dispute and antagonism since 1991, when the Soviet Union fell apart.
The treaty was first written, and nearly signed, two years ago, and it has not been substantially altered since then.
The main points stress political and commercial cooperation between the countries, and it includes a joint statement on the Black Sea Fleet that will permit Russia to operate on Ukrainian territory.
It assures the people of Sevastopol that their social well-being will remain important to the leaders of both countries and that the city will not simply become a military annex of Russia.
Russia also agreed to write off most of Ukraine's enormous debt to Moscow, which is mostly money owed for oil.
But real questions remain about the new alliance between the two states. The first is how seriously Ukraine takes its commitment to Russia. The second is how long the warm relations will last if Ukraine continues cozying up to NATO.
Mr. Yeltsin made a big show on Friday of promising to defend Ukraine ''in extreme situations.'' But Ukraine has never sought the protection of Russia since it gained its independence in 1991, and nobody in Kiev expressed any interest in Mr. Yeltsin's latest offer.
''I think President Yeltsin was ruled by the best of intentions, but there were no requests from the Ukrainian side,'' Volodimyr Korbulin, Ukraine's top military official said, referring to requests for such defense assurances.
Ukraine and Russia have slightly different views of NATO expansion. After centuries of domination by Russia, Ukraine has tried hard to show its independence. Unlike Russia, the country has not opposed NATO expansion.
At the same time, however, Kiev had no serious plans to seek NATO membership.
''Ukraine is not going to join NATO now, and there are no conditions for that,'' Mr. Horbulin said at a news conference today.
An article on Sunday about an agreement between Russia and Ukraine misspelled the surname of Ukraine's top military official. He is Volodimyr Horbulin, not Korbulin.

Researchers have developed a robot that perceives environmental stimuli and learns to react to them. The scientists used the relatively simple nervous system of the honeybee as a model for its working principles. To this end, they installed a camera on a small robotic vehicle and connected it to a computer.
The computer program replicated in a simplified way the sensorimotor network of the insect brain. The input data came from the camera that, akin to an eye, received and projected visual information. The neural network, in turn, operated the motors of the robot wheels, and could thus control its motion direction.

Player Clear Out Begins
24 May 2013
By Hob Nob Anyone?
A number of players have been told that their contracts will not be renewed as they expire this summer. Reading manager Adkins looks set to put his mark on the squad by starting a clear out that would leave him plenty of room to get in his choice of players, before the new season gets underway. Noel Hunt and Nicky Shorey top the list of players who have been confirmed as leaving the club. It's a shame to see Noel Hunt leave the club - a player that's always put in complete effort and given us some memorable moments. Hunt has had five good years at the club and scored 39 goals in over 150 appearances for the Royals.
Nicky Shorey arrived back at Reading at the start of this season and put in some excellent performances after winning a place in the starting eleven. He picked up plenty of votes in the Hob Nob man of the match voting and finished fourth overall across the whole season. He fell out of favour as Reading dropped deep into relegation trouble earlier this season and failed to regain his form or a regular place in the side. Shorey leaves alongside fellow full back Ian Harte. Simon Church and Jay Tabb will also be leaving. Tabb was told months ago that we wouldn't be at Reading next season and is expected to join Ipswich Town this summer.
Alex Pearce is also expected to leave the club, having failed to agree a new contract. The club are also expected to come under pressure in the transfer market for goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and super-sub Adam Le Fondre. Jason Roberts is rumoured to be leaving subject to agreeing terms to end his contract. A number of other players are currently in negotiations for new or revised contracts as it looks to be a busy summer for Reading and they prepare for life in the Championship.
