A friend recommended Ira and Abby to me, a movie about marriage and about therapy. You might say it takes a swipe at both. I am personally, all in favor of movies that satirize therapy. As therapists, it's good to see ourselves caricatured and to giggle at the element of truth that is in all good caricatures. Most of the time, we therapists take ourselves way too seriously.
Like a manic defense, behind the comedy, this movie presents a cynical picture of marriage as essentially an empty ruse. The seemingly good marriages have undercover affairs. The adorable couple who marry twice during the marriage, finally divorce for the second time at the end of the marriage and promise never to marry again.
If commitment, enduring the tough times, forgiveness and the kind of hanging in there that transforms relationships into mature love is not what marriage is about, I don't know what is. You'd never know that from watching this movie.
I am thrilled to welcome you to my blog. I am writing this for the couples who I work with - present, past and future. They all have a place in my heart and I welcome being on the journey with them. My goal for this blog is to teach you a little about some of the predictable patterns and dynamics that take place in marriage and hopefully provide some help that can strengthen your marriage.

Which movie are you referring to? I thought your review of A Real Marriage was encouraging.ReplyDelete

The post-Soviet era of Russian history has made the legacy of the pre-1917 era newly relevant in ways unimaginable. It is not merely a country recovering historical experience suppressed or distorted for ideological reasons during the Soviet regime, but a country seeking to modernize partly on the basis of its earlier legal legacy. A transition to the legal foundations of a market economy is happening before our eyes in Russia, partly an adaptation of foreign legal experience and institutions, partly the preservation and re-adaptation of those elements of Russian legal experience that are essential in the twenty-first century, partly the pioneering of new legal approaches to achieve a transition that is without precedent in human experience.
This exhibition contains principal landmarks of the pre-1917 era, drawing upon the riches of Yale University and augmented by a loans from the Harvard Law School Library and a private collection. So far as we can determine, this is the first occasion in the United States that an exhibition has been mounted on this topic. Wonderful exhibitions devoted to Russian relations with the west or to elements of Russian history generally have omitted law and the legal system.
The notes which follow situate each book in the fabric of Russian legal history. As a general observation, it may be observed that the systematization of legislation is among the larger contributions that Russian law has made to civilization. The story of that contribution is well told by the materials here.
In accordance with normal Russian practice, the relevant titles and other data are provided in Library of Congress transliteration, short form.
"Monuments of Imperial Russian Law," curated by William E. Butler and Mike Widener, is on display Mar. 1 - May 25, 2012, in the Rare Book Exhibition Gallery, Level L2, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School.

Looking great
This is one of those projects i can't wait to see completed.
This build is insane.
Thanks for the positive feedback guys. Good to know I'm on the right track. LOL @ stony, sorry bro not yet waiting on some gaskets etc. Shipping to here isn't what you would call overnight delivery.
Also just got in the gauges for the dash.
Could you post up this pic and brand details and sizes on the Gauge thread I just started? It would kick start it for the positive. Thank you !!

Can you give me link to the post? Can't seem to find it.
Who is this addressed to, and you want the link to what post?
Sorry was for previous poster Vintage-TechZ before me asking me to post in his new thread about the gauges but couldnt find the thread.
Hey guys just found out engine pic made it to speedhunters site. Check it out...
(4th one down) Nice wallpaper size too.
Nice one, an RB26 had to make it there, as they are one of the best/coolest looking engines.
Which model gauges are those? They look amazing.
Thanks, but I meant specific kit, they have different versions and packages and sizes and what not.
Any updated pics of the body?
Custom 'Z' emblem for rear light center panel.
Amazing build!! Cant wait to see this finished and gives me great ideas for when i tear my z down for its resto mod. Keep up the great innovation.
Been a while...
Got dash and console back from flocking.
Engine going in shortly and exhaust to be fitted then running wiring harness.
This will be the boss hoss of custom Z builds in my opinion.....
Epic build, can't believe I haven't seen it before. Subscribed and anxiously awaiting completion and videos!
Love it, not sure about the rear end (not bad, but I feel stock Z doesn't need changed) but everything else is awesome. The dash looks great.
What is the radiator from? Skyline?
love the rear treatment, I do understand that some like to keep things original but where's the fun in that? and there are plenty of standard Zed's out there for them, and the moulded flairs and front guard scollops etc add to overall effect to give a modern influence to this beautiful car well done, this is gong to be one hell of a nice looking "Z" cant wait to see it finished.
Cheers Evil
Thanks guys. NIce to get feedback and know your hard work is not unnoticed. Regarding the back I always knew it would be a love / hate sort of thing for some people and I don't really have a problem with the original rear either but the purpose of this car was always to be a bit different without straying too far from the classic feel of the car. It's by no means a purists type of car but I did limit myself to staying pretty much all datsun/nissan family, with the only exception being the fender indicators that are from a BMW. I also wanted to keep it straight 6 but again upgrade. Otherwise its more of a modern interpretation with a personal twist and a desire to be unique without going overboard. I think when the car comes together in totality the rear will suit it even more but I like it and I guess that's the main thing.
I live on an island and to be honest this will be currently the only one here in drivable condition so I have nothing to compare it to. Ironically I have never had the care in it's complete stage, never even driven in an S30 before believe it or not. Our imports are restricted and our duties on cars and parts are crazy (read $44,000 USD for a new corolla). How much would you guess something like this would go for up in 'Merica, not that I plan to sell it any time soon, just see so many varying prices up there. There was a green one on Ebay that was very nice with a SR20 a couple years back that I think went for just over 60g US. Jared was the guy's name. That was tastefully modded and restored but also not a true restoration, but alot more restrained in the modifications department than I am. I believe I remember a comment where he said he gave it away at that price, and after 5 years of working and investing in one, I can see where he is coming from.
I know Jareds build, it was very very nice, it must have cost a LOT more than $60k to build like that. I'm loving this build just as much as that one though.
I don't suppose you would be kind enough to give me the correct length the propshaft needs to be for this swap please? I am also using McKinney mounts. It would be a huge help as I could get my propshaft made before I come home to start the swap, otherwise I will have to fit the engine, measure the correct length and then be delayed while I get my prop sorted.
Hey Ian, I'll be back at the workshop tomorrow and can measure the shaft for you but it was actually from McKinney themselves and fit back in spot on.

My Work History
My Grandmother, Cecile Foster, was born in 1925. She got her first job at sixteen years old, working at a Woolworth's dime store. She remembers that this dime store had a sandwich bar that did not serve African-Americans. Every time I talk to my Grandma about her teenage years, I am astounded at how much has change in less than a century. When I was sixteen, I got my first job waiting tables at a local restaurant. I have waited on many different types of people, never really thinking about the fact that, if I had been working earlier in time, some of these people wouldn't be let in the door.
After my Grandma was married, she worked for a short time as a waitress as well, before moving on to the Martin Company located in Maryland. Her job there was to be a timekeeper. Every day she would walk through the plant to the different employees riveting airplanes and get the batch numbers of what they were working on and their hours for the office. I have never worked in a place that did not have an automated time clock. During my conversation with my Grandma, I reflected on the amount of honesty that was expected from her and all the other employees. A timekeeper position, with the technological advances in these last few decades, would be obsolete in this day and age.
My Grandma remembers her first pair of pants were navy corduroy slacks. "Once women got into pants you never got them out of pants!" She said. Her job required her to wear slacks because she was on her feet most of the day, and a dress would have been a hindrance. I love dresses, but can't imagine having to wear them every day! It is liberating to think that as women we now have the choice to wear pants or skirts.
I was curious to know what kind of job security my Grandma had. She told me that if you got sick and had to call in, you had better come back with a doctor's note. There was no such thing as "sick leave." If you didn't have a note, it was grounds for termination. My Grandma worked for the Martin Company during World War II, which my Grandfather, William (Willy) Foster, was serving in at the time. With a laugh, she recalled that on two separate occasions she skipped work to spend time with him when he was home, and on both those occasions she was fired. When she returned, all she had to say was "Call my boss!" who knew her situation, and she was rehired on the spot.
When she was 21, my Grandma became pregnant with her first child, my aunt. My Grandpa didn't know about the pregnancy until three months afterwards because of deployment to Germany. Like any expectant mother, she was excited to tell her friends at work the good news. What she didn't know was that her job had been deemed too dangerous for a pregnant woman to complete. She spent the majority of her day walking around boxes, up steps, and around large aircraft. Somehow her boss found out about her pregnancy, asked her to come into his office, and, as she says, "That was the end of that." There was no such thing as maternity leave, even for a valued worker like my Grandma. She never went back to work for the Martin Company.
My aunt, Carol, was born in November of 1945. Apparently, my Grandpa was very disappointed that he had come 3,000 miles from Texas (where he was stationed) to see his boy, who happened to be a girl. After her birth, my Grandma didn't work until my aunt was about six years old. When she did reenter the workforce, she worked at the Bendix Corporation on an assembly line making radios. I'm sure much of the work that she and her peers were doing is today automated by machines, or by the hands of people in another country. The radios, essentially just metal boxes, would go down a line, and each woman would have a specific circuit to connect or job to do. When the radio got to the end of the line, it was tested. The rejects were thrown in a pile and the rest went off to be packaged.
I asked my Grandma if she had any advice for me about working today. She told me getting an education was important, because nowadays you have to have a skill to get a job. She said that back when she was younger, you could simply go out and "get" a job—no education or specialization was really required. You would be hard pressed to find a job like that in 2012. All you needed back in the 1940s was "common sense" which my Grandpa had a lot of, and passed it on to my Dad. I hope I, as next in line, got some of that common sense too!
Sadly, my Grandpa Foster passed away shortly before I was born. I instead decided to interview my Dad. He had a very positive attitude toward women in the workplace. He believes that women can offer insight and powerful suggestions, and that there needs to be a balance of women and men in order to run a business successfully. He is glad that women have become more prevalent in the workforce than they were even twenty years ago, and has always supported my interest in entering the field and getting an education.
When I asked my Dad for some advice, he repeated what he told me before I left for college, "Do what you love, don't do anything for the money." Dad firmly believes that loving your career is more important than your income, and I'm inclined to agree. "When you do something you love," He explained, "The money doesn't matter, because it becomes more than just a job for you."
After speaking with my Grandma and my Dad, I feel refreshed about my decision to enter into my career field. I do feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward not only the women who made it possible for me to be attending college, but to my family for always pushing and supporting me becoming self-reliant and finding a career I love. Coming from Appalachia, an area of the country where women are, to a point, still expected to be "around the home," I am grateful that my parents were so adamant about me getting out into the world. I know many girls, most of whom I attended high school with, who have gotten married or even started families shortly after graduating. They have not continued their education, and have become almost completely dependent on their spouses or parents. This is not a life I would have wanted for myself, and I am glad that I was shown other options. I loved hearing my Grandma's stories about her life in the 1940s and 50s, and am astounded at how many more opportunities I will have that she did not. It inspires me to exercise those opportunities as much as possible.

Our Indiegogo campaign for "Fae Fatales: A Fantasy Noir Anthology" is only $249 away from being funded, with 18 days to go. I don't know about you, but I don't want to wait 18 days. I want to know we can go ahead with this thing sooner. Today would be great. 😀
To that end, I am going to bribe you with my story. Right now, I am going to give you the title. And the first paragraph. For every contribution that comes through today, I will add one more sentence. There is a risk I will be giving away quite a lot of the story, but I'll take that chance.
This offer is only open for TODAY. If you want to see more of a preview, you will have to contribute today. It makes no difference how much. If someone contributes the full $250, or only a dollar. Each contribution is vital. Each one gets a sentence. How much of this story you get today is TOTALLY UP TO YOU!
I am very, very proud of this story. It is one of the best I have written, I think. I am so pleased with it, I created a whole anthology to go with it. I haven't harped on about it much, because it is in such good company, and the other stories are just as good. But this is my one, and I love it. And I am going to start sharing it with you. ONE DAY ONLY. Offer closes when I go to bed. 🙂
Here it is:
Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight
I was going to retire. Give it all up. That was the truth of it. That was my plan. I was sitting there, in that dingy old office, no windows, filing cabinets cramped full of old cases and bits of paper. I kept meaning to sort it out. But now I looked around me, and I thought I'm done. Just like that. Decision made.
And then, not ten minutes later, in she walks. Like something out of film noir, long coat with faux fur around the trim, boots up to her knees, perfect make up, perfect hair.
In she walks and she says, no preamble, nothing, "I need your help."
And me, chump that I am, I motion her to a chair and offer her coffee and say, "How can I help you, Miss…?" with that inflection looking for a name.
Want more? Go Contribute NOW!

When I say contemporary don't start having visions of glass and steel. Nothing could be further from the reality. The gallery is in an old home which is just above the red shed on the right of the photo. Catherine Beaudette, an artists who has a place up the road from mine, was the mastermind and elbow grease behind this fantastic addition to the area. The inaugural exhibition took place in July.
The NL tourist website: describes the venture perfectly.
2 Room Contemporary Art ProjectsTemporary on-site installation projects, exhibitions and events, and an on-going museum of material culture in Duntara on the Bonavista Peninsula. Curated exhibitions of contemporary art are on the first floor. A continuing series of experimental museological displays featuring collections of local artifacts and natural specimens are on the second floor. The program reflects the historical, natural and cultural conditions that exist interdependently in Newfoundland's outports.

At present, due to the saturation of the motorcycle market in Vietnam and the high operating costs of companies, motorcycle accessory companies are moving closer to the electric scooter industry and actively cooperate with electric scooter companies to produce spare parts for them. This is also an opportunity for the development of electric scooter industries.
As well as we known, the spare parts which can't be producted in vietnam will be imported partially from Chinese mainland, and another part will be produced by Chinese joint-venture enterprises. And Chinese electric scooter interprises are graduately turning the production of spare parts from the China -import to local-making, it can reduce many troubles and cost. The market of vietnam electric scooter starts late relative to Chin, but devolops fastly at a rate of 10% for its sale volume. In general, south vietnam, represented by Ho Chi Minh City, has far more exceed to the north vietnam which represented by the Hanoi at the speed of the market developement and the electric scooters quantity.
Hanoi's production factories are called unified bicycle and motorcycle companies. Most of these production plants use Taiwan's production equipment. The main components such as batteries and motors are imported from Japan and South Korea, and some of the accessories are imported from China. The output is small, equipment is poor, and the quality is bad. The craft is lagged. Some motorcycle manufacturers are actively preparing to produce and assemble electric vehicles. Although the main components are imported from abroad, the manufacturers all claim to be produced in Vietnam and the price is not cheap.
Electric vehicle dealers in Vietnam generally reflect that China's electric vehicle brands are numerous, with various specifications, low prices, bright colors, shiftable gears, power, speed and signal display, as well as convenient loading and unloading baskets and the sale volume is also very good.
On the contrary, Vietnam's products have a single style, lack of shock absorption devices and signal indications. If they are not improved, with the improvement of the quality of Chinese products, it is difficult for Vietnamese products to compete with Chinese products. In the south, represented by Ho Chi Minh, the market is relatively mature, with a large number of dealers and specialized electric vehicle dealers. Due to the large number of dealers, the competition is fierce. Even so, the dealer's monthly average sales volume exceeds 100 units, which is much better than the sales volume in Hanoi. Ho Chi Minh's consumers are mainly university students and young workers. The advantages of electric scooters are being recognized by more and more consumers. For example, an electric scooter can travel 50-70 kilometers at a time, the electricity cost is only equivalent to RMB 0.25-0.5 yuan, and the price of a new battery is only 200-250 Chinese Yuan which can be recharged 400 times,so at a cost of only 0.25 yuan each time. In other words, the cost of driving 50 kilometers of electric scooter is less than 1 yuan, while the same distance for motorcycles requires at least 5 yuan. Therefore, the demand for electric vehicles in China is increasing.

About Management Review and Occupational Safety and Health
No corporation can escape the need for management review. If an organisation is like a car, management review is like sending it to the workshop to check for faulty parts and systems. Just like when your mechanic points out what's wrong and fix it, management review should be similar. For companies involved in heavy or risky industries, regular reviews need to be conducted to maintain the level of safety.
Generally speaking, management review is a process of reviewing the organisation's management system, programmes and performance by the top-level management. The senior management will compare operations with performance and effectiveness.
Management Review Committees conduct these reviews. Ideally, the management review committee should be made up of decision makers in the company, occupational safety and health practitioners and specialists, as well as necessary representatives of other relevant parties what would be affected by its decision.
Management review is NOT a process of fault-finding and finger pointing. The outcome should be increased productivity rather than a demoralised workforce. As you may realise, unmotivated workers affects the productivity of the organisation as a whole.
This Management Review Committee should act in the best interests of both the employers and employees. People responsible in formulating should not be a member of the committee – no person should be the judge of her own cause. Any biasness shown can affect the committee's credibility in the eyes of the stakeholders.
So, why are management reviews important?
- · To make sure the company complies with its own occupational safety and health policies;
- · To aid in deciding the necessary changes to meet its internal policies.
With ever changing industrial landscape plus new and better practices, a company that does not review risk falling behind in terms of safety. Others that keep up would see productivity increasing, not to mention a sustained boost in employee confidence. Who does not want to work with people who actually cares?

i recently googled this:
"julie bowen too much botox?"
i REALLY love "modern family". i think it is so well written and it regularly makes me laugh aloud but julie bowen's face makes me feel weird. i think she's a good actress but i think she could be a much better one if she could make a facial expression or two.
i've also seen an interview where she says , more than once: "very kind of" or "very sort of".
i hate this. it is DUMB and pretentious and is used by the likes of gwyneth paltrow and other actor-y actors. it might go something like this:
"you know, my character of 'claire' is the very kind of quintessential mother where she's, you know, like very kind of the head of the household in many ways, blah blah blah, i've been sort of very blessed in life to be able to have these roles, blah blah blah blah"
so yeah, i DO use my time wisely. for example i also recently asked my friend google this gem:
"jemma mays weird voice?"
i just have to know that i'm not in crazyville. i just had to be perfectly sure that other people hear what i hear when she comes onscreen in my other favorite show "glee".
turns out, they do. yep, indeed, i confirmed it. you're welcome.

BENNETTSVILLE, SC (WMBF) - The suspect in a 2012 murder in Bennettsville has been sentenced to spend up to four decades behind bars.
David Eric Dixon of Bennettsville was arrested by the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office just hours after two men were shot in Bennettsville on Dec. 20, 2012.
Dixon was found guilty of murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and attempted murder. In total, he was sentenced to spend 40 years in jail for those crimes.
Sheriff Fred Knight explained that the shooting occurred around 10 p.m. that night at Woody's on Stone Away Road.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they discovered two gunshot victims. One was transported to the hospital by a friend and the other, 27-year-old Christopher Allen Bristow, died as a result of his injuries.
The investigation revealed that Dixon was arguing with Bristow outside of the business before shots were fired.
Sheriff Knight said, "This is a tragic case where a young man's life was taken in a split second. We are fortunate to have the suspect in custody and have gathered a lot of great evidence and information from witnesses. My condolences go out to the victim's family in this time of hurt and the loss of a family member."
Dixon has past convictions for several different crimes including burglary and drugs.

ALBERT LEA, Minn. – Hospital workers at Mayo Clinic Health System Albert Lea headed back to work Tuesday.
This comes after a one-day strike turned into a seven-day lock-out.
Dave Larson is just one of the 79 workers a part of the SEIU Healthcare Minnesota union. He has worked in the utilities department at Mayo Clinic Health System Albert Lea for more than a decade.
He said last week's strike, the lock-out, and walking back into work together has created a sense of unity among the workers.
"You don't really know what you have until you actually start fighting for something," Larson said.
Larson said Mayo wanted to change over 50 items in their contracts, which left him wondering why they wanted to cut so much.
"So then I'm sitting there thinking," Larson said, "'Well our contract, if they're willing to come to Albert Lea and negotiate and want to cut our contract down for a bunch of janitors and housekeepers, what's everyone else's contract like? Is it below ours?"
Larson will be a part of the negotiation process that will take place Thursday, Dec. 28. He said things workers want to focus on within their contracts are hours, wages, and health insurance for part-time employees.
"You know you're supposed to slowly build up everything as you get older in life and everything," Larson said. "Nobody wants to take a beating at work."
Larson said the negotiating will be long, but also a learning process for both parties. He's hopeful they'll be able to compromise.

April was a bit of an odd month for me, I didn't really stick to any certain look or string of products I kind of just jumped around as far as what I was in the mood for and have been trying out some new things.
So this is what I came up with that I really thought was worth sharing.
First up is this white cardigan from Forever21. I believe I got it on sale a month or two back and I am pretty sure it was $16-18, so not to bad. I love this thing, it seems to be my savior when I think I need a little more coverage but I can take it off if I feel too hot (I am in the humid Texas weather ya know). Its simple, sweet and girly. I love it!
Another two items I had to feature were the Revlon eye shading brush, I love this brush for blending out the crease and softening up any harsh colors. Its a definite go to brush for me.
As well as the Josie Maran Argan Oil, I personally use this on my face, I add a drop or two to my night moisturizer and rub it in my skin, I feel this has been a real reason why my skin tone and texture has improved so much, my skin has evened out a lot and the texture is baby smooth. Love this product!
Two makeup products that I think are so amazing for the warmer sunnier months are the Laura Geller Spackle makeup primer (left). It has a bit of sheen to give you that extra glow without looking greasy or oily as well as making your makeup last a little longer. Then there is Benefits Highbeam highlighter which everyone knows and this has just been my go to highlighter when I feel I need a little extra umph.
Lastly is the E.L.F eyebrow kit in medium as well as the Eyebrow and Lash gel, I use the wax side mostly and just use the brush it came with, every now and then if i want fuller brows I will use the powder but usually just the wax then topped with the gel, Its amazing and a perfect match for my brows. At only $3 you cant go wrong!
What were your stand out products this month?!

"Too many words"
"Many of the sentences would be considered run-on today."
"But the one thing that absolutely ruins this book is the clutter of coincidences. One of the first rules of fiction writing is NO COINCIDENCES. And Dickens goes out of his way to break this rule. Over. And Over. And Over."
"Not to mention the characters are just plaing weird. Where in the world did Dickens get a bizarre lady like Miss Havisham, who is practically ill in the head?"
"Charles Dickens wrote a novel about a boy who had a hard life, and in the end he was happy....Big Deal!"
"if Estella hit me like she did pip, I would have hit her back!! All the women in this book seem like stuck up b****es!"
"I have never read a more stupendesely boring book.It's a revered book but it lacks everything that makes a book truly great.It's poorly written,uninteresting,the characters are unlikable,there is very little theme or characterization,the plot is virtually non-existent.The chapters are so meandering and pointless you have to force yourself to read it.English students shouldn't have to suffer by being made read this incomprehensible,boring, overrated 'novel'.I'd rather watch paint dry than read this book again.Still,any insomniacs looking for a cure,this book's for you."
"I think Charles Dickens was not a smart man for writing
this book. He could have summed the book up a lot. He used
long word that some times were had to say."
"As far as the story is concerned, the 300 pages is crap.
I said it. Don't gasp.
Why is it that academics pick these boring books that can't tell stories as part of the western canon? I love reading classics, thanks, but THIS?
His prose is dense, sprawling, and unseemly as sentences are connected by ugly semicolons and don't flow beautifully at all.
People are irresistibly drawn to anything related to themselves. I have a sneaking suspicion that the academics who bill this book as 'most fascinating' and 'greatest and most sophisticated work' see THEIR prominent characteristic in it."
"Have low expectations when you read 'Great Expectations.' Modern books have much faster pacing and are more easy to read."
"Second question Where in his warped imagination did he get Ms. Havishom? News flash! Anyone who did so many terrible things because a man left her was mentally unstable before she met the jerk which explains why he left her. Oh and one more thing if your a feminists (like me) this book will get you upset enough. The only women in the book are either crazy old hags or out right bitches. It certainly says a lot about male Victorian sensibilities!!"
"By far the worst literary blunder the world has ever excreted. I would never wish this horific mass of boredom upon anyone. Avoid this book like the black plauge (another one of Europe's tragedies)."
"Funking exelen!
i havent read it yet but it shows diskousting:)I hate this book and i hope my mates of aal
"Put simply, Great Expectations is a wordy, convuluted, and overrated peice of trash. Written originally in different volumes and distributed to an excited Victorian republic, Dickens was able to make his audience care and feel for his odd, moving characters. He was the Stephen King of his day; a clever businessman who distributed mediocre books to the public. That Dicken's fever passed on from one generation to the next is fine, that this made Dicken's books classics in schools is a shame. But let me get to the actual book at hand! Yes, many characters in Great Expectations are original and interseting. Overall, however, Great Expectations is wordy (!), and painfully convoluted. It is often difficult to get through, and geared towards a certain audience only. This is not to say that everyone will dislike Great Expectations, but we live in an age (good or bad) of gritty realism ... Anyone who wants to live in a former era, Great Expectations is a must; for anyone who wants a powerful, sophisticated read PLEASE put Great Expectations in the incinerator."
"I honestly try to appreciate what is *supposed* to be fine literature, but 'Great Expectations' is about as entertaining as watching kale grow. First off, the fact that this book has two endings inspires a bit of skepticism in me. I've never heard of an author so indecisive that he would put two endings in a novel. It creates a generally unsatisfying conclusion, as you're at a loss for which ending to 'accept'."
"Who cares about Wemmick's stupid plays?"
"I hate this novel with a passion so great it scares even me. I'd like to see all copies burned. Okay, not really. That's a little extreme. But, at least take this garbage out of school curriculums. Its' making us stupid, making us believe Pip's world is what the world really is. Pip if a fool that got dumped too many times and where's the sex. Was Dickens scared of it. I believe that all great novels should have sex in them. It brings some humanity to them . Great Expectations is a fantasy on level with the Bible but worse, tragicly worse."
"I give you a generous TWO STARS this time Charlie! Youre getting there so keep trying!"
"This book was a very big disappontmet. I thought this book could have had a couple minor plot changes. I also thought the way the main charictor, Pip, transfored through his expectations was shallow and padanthic. To conclude, I belive that the chapters are cycled like story line with many charictors and an entire chapter with Pip talking to himself and talking about his expectations. Thank you for reading my review."

As we ease off the high of the new year including all the fun festivities that came along with the end of 2013, my 2014 brides, it's time to get back down to business! Whether your wedding is only a few short months away, or perhaps it is a bit further off into the year, it is most certainly time to start looking at wedding invitations! I know that invitations always tend to feel like a monster of a hill to climb, but there are certain companies who make it their goal to help you find the perfect style that fits your theme as easy as possible. Invitations by Dawn, an industry staple, has helped couple's invite their guests for over 30 years, that's some pretty serious help right there!

I've got a bone to pick you guys. Truth be told, its more of an 'oh come on you can do something more interesting then that' bone! Naturally I see my fair share of wedding invitations & accompanying that, how they are presented as a whole package. I think that a lot of couples don't really see a high level of importance when it comes to the invitation phase of their planning and as such tend to take a more 'just get them in the mail' mentality. While thats all well and good, it goes completely against something I truly believe in which is that your invitations set the tone for what your wedding will be like, as well as relate directly to how the day will look. This might be a task that is easier said then done when you feel you arent even fully what that day will look like, but there are elements that can help no matter what direction you end up taking.

You might think its a bit of a trivial thing, or most likely a common sense thing, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to get yourself all twisted around when it comes to working on your guest list. With all the different variables that go into planning a wedding, the importance of a well structured and organized guest list can easily be over looked and under valued! Believe it or not, mistakes while putting together your guest list can result in money wasted and feelings unintentionally hurt. How so? Let me shed some light & simplify a part of the process!

Minutes of January 5, 2011
Chairman Bob Switzer called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. Present, in addition to the chairman, were members Michelle Degree, Dave Jakway, Laura Lewandowski, John Little, Mark Smith, and Ann Sweet. . Absent was Cheryl Labadie, Selectmen's representative. Also present were Marlo and Bill Paju.
Minutes of the meeting of December 1, 2010, were approved as distributed.
Preliminary consultation for site plan review of proposed seasonal shop at Hollow Oak Farm on Centre Street: Marlo Paju
Mrs. Paju handed out a brief description of her proposed gift shop, which would be open from April to Christmas. She included a brief sketch showing a proposed parking area. Chairman Switzer asked whether she had talked with state highway officials, since Centre Street is a state highway. Mrs. Paju said she would be contacting the state in hope of the state installation of a warning sign about a blind drive. Several planning board members agreed that that corner of Centre Street poses safety problems. Mrs. Paju said safety is her primary concern. Because of that concern, she drives her sons to the Sullivan School, because she feels uncomfortable about the bus stop. Several members noted that people violate the speed law on that corner as well as elsewhere on Centre Street. Mrs. Paju also said she would be asking the ZBA to meet to hear her request for a special exception for this proposed shop. Chairman Switzer asked her to let the planning board know when the ZBA meeting is held so there could be planning board representation at that hearing.
Member reports
Energy Committee
Mrs Sweet reported that the selectmen had unexpectedly decided not to accept EECBDG funds for the replacement of the highway garage heating system with a safer, more efficient wood-burning boiler system. She expressed the hope that the selectmen might reconsider, since any other solution would be at taxpayer expense. She also invited the planning board members to attend the January 10 meeting of the Energy Committee. Dennis Noonan will present his company's research projects with wind devices to provide energy at lower wind velocities.
Master Plan update
Chairman Switzer stated that he would bring to the February meeting the results of the citizen survey and recommend next steps. He noted that US census data is now available for the committee to use.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Ann Sweet, Secretary

Habib Beye is making noises that he would love to have an extended stay at Newcastle United.
Habib Beye – loves the club and the city
The right full-back is already becoming a big favorite with the Newcastle fans for his never say die attitude and great play at full back. He is also one of the leaders on the filed having captained French club Marseilles, before he arrived on Tyneside last August 31st, transfer deadline day.
But it looks like Habib loves it at Newcastle and seems keen to stay around and see where the second Keegan revolution will eventually lead the club.
Beye told Newcastle World TV today:
"I want to stay here for a lot of years," "I have two more years on my contract and maybe I have to speak with manager for maybe more years.""I love this club and I love the city."
"When I left Marseille it was difficult for me because I played there for four years and everyone liked me." "You come here and you don't know the country and you don't know the club."
"But when I came here everyone was very friendly and the fans were brilliant." "The stadium is incredible and it gives me great pleasure to play there."
You cannot ask much more form our boys in black and white, and Beye is certainly good enough to be part of the new Keegan revolution.
It 's not the first time he's said how he loves it on Tyneside, and it shows in his play where his commitment to the club cannot be questioned. He was a great buy by Big Sam, and long may he be at the club.
Now we need to get more players like Habib, with his skill and attitude, in the summer transfer window.
Comments welcome.

It's so refreshing to see a foreign player not only adapt so well to the PL, but also refuse to wear gloves! Beye rolls his sleeves up and puts in one top class performance after another.
He is the only defender we have that could walk into one of the top four teams. Enrique is getting better with every game, but Beye is the man.
If it wasn't for Owen's sheer brilliance, goals, leadership, and work rate, Beye would be the player of the season.
spyro tbh id be surprised if we see nzogbia again this season for three reasons:
1. we dont need wingers in the formation we are playing atm
2. he doesnt want to be here anymore so wats the point.
3. his attitude in training seems to be very poor and therefore doesnt deserve to be in the squad again this season.
very disappointing that nzog will leave but he dont want to be here so feck him. hopefully we can get a good price for him cos theres no doubt hes a very good and promising player.

Both of our houses are active parts of a broader network of similar community houses, called the Embassy Network. We have a number additional community houses in this network, including sites in Amsterdam, Costa Rica. Our goal is to continue expanding the network, enhancing the commons and experimenting with the idea of home. You can read about some of these other locations here embassynetwork.com.
We are comprised of a rich nexus of awesome people, from residents, to travelers, to local friends and family. In our home cooking and dinner parties are frequent, new people are constantly brought into the fold, organized events are hosted. The common spaces are used for brainstorming, philosophizing, creating and collaborating where different skills and ideas are always welcome in the discussions, where music often plays and dancing results, and where all residents are passionate about doing good work. From dinner parties focusing on connecting with strangers to salons focusing on philosophy, politics, and culture to joint art and science projects, we see the house as vibrant place both for its residents and visitors. We have a high throughput of visitors and guests who participate in and enrich our community, from one night stays to several months. Many of our rooms are reserved for guests, and we are often hosting several people at a time!
THE PEOPLE: The people are what make the place! Our group is comprised of designers, scientists, artists, writers, lawyers, technologists, musicians, and philosophers, with various backgrounds, knowledge, and experience. Several of us work at home during the day, some of us are entrepreneurs, some of us musicians, a few of us have "regular" jobs, a few are academics and some are artists and creators. Though we may have diverse interests, we're tied together by a common desire to think big, challenge and support each other in our goals, and change the world in a positive way. Ideally, we also seek people from different countries of origin and aim to keep an approximate gender balance in the house. We are looking for people to really be an integral part of this community. We focus not just on bringing a diverse set of people together, but also on helping to create a house which is distinct in its own way from the things we have all done before, and that is an emergent property of the people who live there. We strongly believe that a community like this is strengthened by our external experiences as much as our shared experiences. We are looking for people who plan to really live in the house, be home a reasonable amount, initiate, participate, and collaborate, and see this as an opportunity to organically (and playfully) create something awesome.
YOU:We'd love to find people who are passionate about the world around them and creating positive change, and who explicitly want to live in a community. We'd love a strong artistic component. Musicians, artists, dancers please apply!* We would love to have more nationalities :) We also want to maintain rough gender balance. Couples, triads, families, coparents, we encourage you all to apply!
We value the commons and our commons spaces - Our big houses require everyone to contribute to help keep it clean. We have a team of highly valued and respected cleaners who help with the big stuff, but doing dishes, emptying garbage etc. are a regular part of living at the house.
THE VIBE:On a given night people might be doing any combination of cooking and eating dinner, working in their room, watching a movie, discussing a book, planning or executing a project, hosting an art opening, giving tours, hosting lectures or discussion groups. We actively WANT friends and interesting people to come stay with us! One might come home to big dinners or new guests on any given night - at the same time, we hope to keep a balance between community and time to oneself. You can of course always decide not to join in an activity! Cooking is an important element of the house, and those out there that like to cook are going to love this kitchen :)
THE AVAILABLE ROOMS:We have multiple residential spaces available, in both of our houses. These range from shared rooms to both smaller and larger private rooms. Prices depend on the space but the rooms we are looking to fill range from a shared room for $800 a month (plus $375 community dues) to $1750 for a large spacious double room (plus $375 community dues).
Utilities, food, beverages and cleaning costs are shared evenly per resident, and are a flat rate of $375 a month on top of the prices of the room. Food is delivered weekly and everyone has the opportunity to curate grocery items. This room are available ASAP but we will wait to find the right additions to the community!
THE HOUSES:The Embassy is a large and ornately decorated Edwardian house previously used as a Buddhist temple in lower Haight. The house has: - 8+ bedrooms with 8 full and 2 half baths (no shortage here!). - Large kitchen (excellent for community dinners) - Large dining room (ditto) - Backup dining room (aka craft room!) - Solarium - Music Room - Lounge/Library - Co-working space - Film Screening area - Bowling alley (obviously) - Sauna (ditto) - Washer/Dryer - 2 car garage. - No TV, nor one wanted. Bonus.
The Red Victorian, built in 1904, has been a cornerstone of the Upper Haight and a gathering place for revolutionaries, artists and travelers. This building was an important meeting place through the Summer of Love, housing political protests, radical new ideas, and Sami Sunchild's artwork, creativity, and conversations around creating world peace.
LOCATION:For those of you that don't know Hayes Valley, the location of both these spaces is great - it borders Lower Haight on one side, Civic Center on the other and is close enough to walk to Alamo Square, NOPA, the Fillmore, Japantown, the Mission, and the Castro. The panhandle is a 10 minute walk from here. The 101 freeway entrance is a short drive away. Also nearby are various other vibrant community houses, each with different personalities.

Tijo (Tee-ho) Media is a production company that produces content for Broadcast, Social, and Mobile.
But weren't not your grandfather's 'commercial production company'. Our approach may be a little different then your use to. Some of our best ideas have come during a bike ride with a client, an epic motorcycle journey, or on the paintball field. We can wear a tie when we need to but we live in flip flops and shorts.
We have a core group of people we thoroughly rely on (see below) but we don't see the need for high overhead (which can lead to crazy mark up). We believe that video production is changing and the business models of old are just that. Old and outdated. Why send in a platoon when all you need is a squad (of highly lethal dudes).

Today is my beautiful Becca's birthday, we are all getting together this afternoon for afternoon tea to celebrate. Becca lives by the beach and her whole home has a ocean theme so I just had to use sea shells and a sea horse to help her celebrate.
Gold embossing on Sahara Sand for the shells, Twilight Blue Slate embossing powder on Marina Mist for the sea horse, a trim of Cherry Cobbler to lift it all a little. While I was in Cairns a few months ago, I'd picked up some shells paper as well as this amazing glitter paper which is so rich and luxurious they were both tucked away in my scrapbooking supplies and I thought of them as they were perfect for this card.
I don't usually do the inside of cards I make, unless they are destined for someone special and my beautiful daughter fits that bill so.....I made that little bit of extra effort and came up with this...
I'd love to hear what you think, so please take the time to leave a comment. Have a fantastic weekend all, I might get some more time in the craft room today....but I'm not holding my breath till it happens!

Forget cluttering up the house with scented candles. Now you can use your computer as an aromatherapy dispenser with the Young Living USB Diffuser.
It works like this: You plug the little device, which looks like an ordinary thumb drive, into your laptop?s (or car?s) USB port. You set it to emit micronized bursts of essential oil every 10, 30 or 60 seconds, then a faint blue light shines to let you know it?s working. Since the amount of oil is so small, the effect is not overpowering.
While there are dozens of scents to choose from, we recommend the refreshing peppermint ($28 for 15 ml), since it not only smells super-clean but is touted to increase concentration and aid digestion.

This is not the type of necklace that I usually buy, but I thought it was kind of fun and a little reminiscent of pieces by Butler and Wilson. This necklace came from a shop selling high end jewellery and accessories, so although it is older it has not been worn and is in pristine condition. The plastic and glass beads have been wired onto a woven cluster of the two coloured ropes. The faceted glass beads give a little bit of sparkle. As you can see the blue ropes have been decorated with large plastic beads. Measures 50cm extending to 56cm, the centrepiece measures approx. 7.5cm

To Darkness And To Death
Sometimes, a mystery can have too many twists to it, and I think this is one of them. This is the second book in Julia Spencer Fleming's series featuring Episcopal Priest Clare Fergusson.
It was reminiscent of those old movie farces, where someone comes in one door, just as the person he is seeking goes out another. This sort of thing happens over and over in this book, but without the humor.
A woman has disappeared on her own property, and a search team is looking for her.
Clare has been called upon to join the search party because of her former career as an Army helicopter pilot, trained in survival skills.
During the search, various people are in and out of the place she is being held and then, again when she is moved to another place. Also, another woman is beaten up, and since she bears a strong resemblance to the missing woman, everyone thinks they have found her. Wrong.
The missing womanm Millie, has a crazy brother who hardly ever goes out of the house, although he is going to have to vacate the place, because Millie has sold the estate to a nature conservancy.
In the middle of the search, the Priest and the very married local police chief find time to gaze longingly into each others' eyes. This flirtation started in the previous book, and heated up a bit in this one. As the saying goes, it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. And, although they never get around to putting out the fire, they do find the time to play a little kissy-face at one point. And, the man's not even unhappily married. Quite the opposite, if he is to be believed.
It's just wrong. But, I digress.
Anyway, when I read her previous book, I didn't realize that Ms. Fleming seems to suffer from the same weakness as John Grisham in his early books. She doesn't seem to know how to end a book. It's all well and good to leave the reader with the suspicion that a sequel is forthcoming. We already know it's one of a series. It's another thing altogether to make an obvious cliff-hanger out of it that forces you to read the next one.
So, I'll read the next one. What else can I do? I'm much too curious to skip it.

I have to add Julia Spencer Fleming to my list. I love reading murder mysteries and always looking for new writers. Thanks for the review
- Kell said...
Hmmmm. I think I may skip this series. the obvious cliff-hangers get on my nerves some times.
- Betty said...
Claude: She's a British writer, and a pretty good one, I think. you will probably enjoy her books.
Kell: The series' that have the same main character, and leave a few loose ends don't bother me, but, this one just seemed a bit heavy handed.
- John said...
I hate these 'series' books. A couple of times I have grabbed a book at an airport, only to open it and discover that it's half way through a series. They should carry a large warning notice !
- Melina said...
I read the first one and I thought I should just get out there...I'm not sure I could handle any more of that weird romance, it kind of creeped me out!
- Annie said...
You have a lot more stick-to-it-iveness than me or some of your other commenters. If I don't like/appreciate a book mid-way through I just put it down and go on to another one.

Using Judith Finlayson's recipes, thousands of home cooks have discovered how delicious and convenient food prepared in the slow cooker can be, and also how this handy appliance can be used to create an extraordinary range of dishes.
This full-color cookbook is now available in trade paperback with a new cover.

JLR tops UK employer survey
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), AstraZeneca and Harrods are the UK's top three employers according to an independent survey conducted by Statista for Bloomberg's content and research arm.
To identify the best employers in the UK, Statista conducted an extensive online employee survey among 15,000 workers in more than 1,600 UK-based firms with at least 500 workers. Respondents were asked a series of questions about job satisfaction; most critically, whether they would recommend their current employer – or a competitor – to a potential employee. To ensure anonymity and the survey's independence, none of the companies were informed beforehand.
The survey also highlighted the top 10 UK employers in the 'Automotive and Suppliers' category are:
1. Jaguar Landrover
2. Vauxhall Motors
3. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
4. Bentley Motors
5. Bosch
6. Nissan
7. Ford
8. Aston Martin
9. Mercedes-Benz UK
10. Goodyear Dunlop Tyres UK
The survey took place between 6 – 25 October 2015.
The complete list of 400 firms across 25 industry sectors and the methodology can be found at the Bloomberg Best Employers UK 2016 site.

Because I was in Malta for Easter this year, I missed out on making my figolli. Figolli are a traditional Maltese sweet made at Easter time. It's kind of like a giant cookie, with almond filling and colourful icing on top and in the shape of… Well, anything really. You can have Easter eggs, bunny rabbits, the Maltese cross, even a Maltese luzzu!
So because I didn't get to make my figolli, I thought I'd take advantage of making Għadam tal-Mejtin, which literally translates to "bones of the dead" or dead man's bones. They are a tradition in Malta, made in remembrance of the departed for All Soul's Day. All Soul's day is a day of prayer and honour for our loved ones that have passed away. I guess the "bones of the dead" make it a little creepy, but they taste amazing 😍 And well, I felt good with my end product because I was thinking of those I hold closest to my heart, especially my nanniet.
Anyway, I shared a picture of the ingredients on MAYC's FB page and left it there for people to guess what I was baking up tonight. Took a few guesses, but eventually they got it! I got asked a couple of times for the recipe, so here I am, sharing my secret figolla/għadam tal-mejtin recipe.
800g self raising flour, sifted
230g castor sugar
340g butter
3 eggs
1 whole lemon's peel, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Pinch of salt
170g ground almonds
170g castor sugar
100g icing sugar
1/2 a lemon's peel, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 egg
GLAZE ICING (the base colour that covers the whole figolla)
2 egg whites
400g icing sugar
Half a lemon freshly squeezed
Food colouring of your prefernce
ROYAL ICING (to decorate the edges of the figolla and add other details to your design)
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
3 cups of confectioners icing sugar, sifted
Food colouring of your preference
Alternatively, you can buy ready made royal icing, all you need to do is add water (this is what I use).
Making the pastry
- Sieve the flour into a bowl, add the castor sugar, butter, grated lemon peel vanilla essence and salt. Use your hand and mix together until you have a bread crumb consistency.
- Now add the eggs and mix through until you start to create a smooth dough. If the dough isn't sticking together and is still crumbling, add some water.
- Knead dough until nice and smooth, form the dough into a ball and rest it in the fridge for 1 hour.
Making the filling
- In another bowl, mix all the filling ingredients together until it forms a smooth paste.
- Set aside.
Putting the two together
- Pre-heat your oven to 170*C.
- Lay out a piece of baking paper on your working space (this will make it easier when lifting the dough after rolling it).
- Roll the dough out to approximately 1cm thick.
- Use your figolli cutter (or free-hand with a knife) ensuring you cut two of the same (one for the bottom and one for the top).
- Lay one of the shapes onto your baking tray and spread the almond filling on it (about 1cm thick), keeping it at least 1/2cm away from the edge so that you can join and press the other shape on top.
- Lay the second shape on top and use water or milk to soften and bind the edges together.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
The fun bit – Icing!
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl and add the lemon juice.
- Add the sieved sugar to the egg mixture until a smooth icing is formed.
- Depending on how intense you want the colour to be, add a drop or two of your preferred food colouring. If you're making Għadam tal-Mejtin, you would leave the icing white.
- Ensure the figolla/għadma (lol) has completely cooled down so that the icing does not melt and drip straight off it.
- Spread the glaze icing on top of the figolla/għadma.
Decorating with Royal Icing
Not needed if making Għadam tal-Mejtin
- Repeat steps 1-3 above.
- Ensure the consistency of the icing is thicker and holds better than the glaze, if not, add more icing sugar.
- Ensure that the glaze on your figolla is completely dry, otherwise your decorating with royal icing will bleed into the glaze.
- Use a piping bag to outline/decorate your figolla. Get creative, add sprinkles, other baking decorations – go wild!
I then lay my figolli out on a board covered in foil, ready to give to family and friends at Easter! For Għadam tal-Mejtin, I just put these in a container, because they are a lot smaller than a figolla, and let my family and friends help themselves 🙂
Some tips to consider:
- If making Għadam tal-Mejtin, you will have enough dough – depending on the size of your bones, you can get anywhere from 8-12 bones. However, if making figolli, depnding on how many you want to make, you may need two lots of dough. I usually get 12 figolli out of two batches of dough.
- When mixing your icing, before adding your colour, split the icing into a few different bowls so you get a few colours out of the one batch 😉
- Again, ensure that 1. your figolla/għadma has completely cooled off and 2. ensure your glaze is completely dry.
- Leave the icing to dry over night.
- Enjoy!
