Not all of us are fully tapped into the runway world…and that's OK—even we get overwhelmed by which brands we should know from a fashion week, what celebs will be where, what trends to look out for and even the latest and greatest fashion terms. And after having my own, first experience with Athens Xclusive Designers Week, I must admit, it was not what I expected! Or at least, there were some surprises that came along with it. It was a great experience which gave me a sneak peak into greek fashion's world, and of course, a subject to write about with love.
We put together a comprehensive guide of what the designers from #AXDW prepared for us. So without any further talking, let's have a look at all you need to know about Athens Xclusive Designers Week talents!

"DECADENCE" by Bosko Jakovljevic
Bosko Jakovljevic come from Serbia Fashion Week and the total look is the key leimotif in the new collection by Serbian menswear designer Bosko Jakovljevic. Titled "DECADENCE", the new outing is an obvious ode to color. While most designers tone down the rhetoric in their collections for the cold months of the year, this is far from the direction in which Bosko Jakovljevic takes us into as we head into Fall Winter 2016/17. He opts not only just for color, but for some of the boldest and brightest imaginable in menswear. The trousers with traditional cuts. The blazers often have three pockets and are finished with slim lapels. The designer does add more casual chic pieces for those occasion when a man wants to feel relaxed but needs to looks good.

Searching for a fashion school which will offer him relevant expertise, specializing in design and production of clothing, he settled for the Design Departement of Düsseldorf, in Germany. A principle that accompanies Dimitri in his career is this: beyond love, design and fashion is art. Another principle that follows him from the beginning of his career is one that was earned from the chief designer Yiorgos Eleftheriades. The four-month practice that he committed in the atelier of the famous Greek designer in Athens, Dimitrios learned that "talent" is simply a shade of the whole, but the hard work is the "light" effect. He became the winner of the award "Best New Designer" at the young contest new designer awards at 17th Athens Exclusive Designers Week. As a source of inspiration he mentions his feelings. "I dream of a beautiful image that is composed of people, whom my imagination dresses them with garments. My clothes are my dreams". His target and purpose in life? To amaze the world with his dreams!

A 'community interest company' has been set up by campaigners who are still hopeful of saving at least part of the former West Church in Rothesay.
The West Church Preservation Trust CIC has contacted all the local councillors in Bute and Cowal detailing its plans for a sustainable use for the Argyle Street building.
Scott Robertson, one of the founder members of the new company, told The Buteman: "We are applying for grants to secure funding. And we already have some artwork donated for an auction to raise immediate funds.
"Our aim is to remove the financial burden from the local council and take over funding of the project and if possible share the intial repair cost.
"One of our ideas on a sustainable use for the former church include an indoor climbing wall utilising the bell tower and the nave, this will help enhance the activity-based offer to the island."
Partial demolition of the nave of the church began in early September after building control officers from Argyll and Bute Council indicated the structure was in a dangerous condition.
A specialist engineer reached the same conclusion on the condition of the spire after carrying out an inspection later in the month, and the whole of the car park next to the structure has now been closed to the public.
A petition set up to save the spire has attracted 146 signatures online, while more than two hundred people have added their name to a paper version available at various locations in Rothesay.
"It was little effort getting the signatures for both our online and paper petition," Mr Robertson continued, "but their importance must not go unnoticed.
"Anita Manning (Great Western Auctions) signed, Michael Attenburgh CBE and others from international museums and Historic Societies, but what is most important are the signatures of Brandanes and the social connection this building has to local people."

Barack Obama won the presidency and claims he has a mandate to increase taxes to pay for the larger government he created in his first term.
Republicans were re-elected to remain the majority in the House of Representatives and they point out that voters watched them stop Obama's drive for higher taxes for the past two years. Clearly their victory in the House is America speaking out against higher taxes.
And the people? On Election Day exit polls, when asked about supporting tax hikes to reduce the deficit, 63 percent of Americans said they were opposed.

The world—and in this context, by 'world', I mean the part of it that gives writing advice—is full of articles discussing character motivations and choices. Why does your character do this and not that? Why did they press that button? Why did they fuck that guy? Why, why, why?
It's a good question. As questions go, it's one of my personal favourites.* But here's my tweak: the reason your character has for doing stuff…it doesn't have to be a good one. In fact, a lot of the time, it's better if it's not a good one. And by 'good', I mean 'the best possible choice in the circumstances.'
Why? I'm glad you asked.
Nothing is more boring that perfection.** And boring characters kill stories like the cold, heartless assassins they are. So fuck the main character who makes good choices. We want to see them make bad decisions. Not bad as in stupid; I fucking hate it when a character makes an illogical, pointless choice for no reason other than the plot demands that it be made. But making decisions based on faulty logic? On emotional turmoil? Or, my personal favourite, making a choice because some less-than-attractive aspect of their personality demands it? Oh yes. That's the good stuff.
We want to see their pettiness, their insecurities, their damage. Because that's how we know that they're just like us.
If you try and tell me that every decision you've ever made has been the result of careful consideration and logic, you're either a liar or an android sent to spy on us by an alien civilization. Also, I hate you. And you're probably boring.
No one wants to read The Adventures of Someone Who Thought Very Carefully About Everything, because that person probably doesn't have adventures. Or, if they do, they're the result of outside forces impinging on that person's meticulously ordered world, which is less interesting than someone who goes out and does stuff on their own. Even if it's bad stuff. Especially if it's bad stuff.
I want to see your characters fuck their ex even though they know, deep down, that it's a bad idea. But they're having a rough day and there are meticulously boring assassins everywhere and they don't know who to trust. And, sure, maybe the ex is a deadbeat with daddy issues and a killer robot sidekick, but damn it, they're cute. And they still have that smile. And it's been a really, really, really hard day. ***
Show us that: the moment of weakness, the lapse in logic, the choices that are made for all the reasons that we shouldn't make choices. But we do. Every damn day. And sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. It's the same for characters. Just keep them away from perfection.
*Along with "I wonder what happens when I do this?"
**Anyone seen the Lego Movie? There's a reason the Kragle was the tool of ultimate evil.
***I kind of want to write this now.

I am working on an application to use Chilkat IMAP email component and I came across the function CheckForNewEmail() that will return a message set of new UIDLs. I am not very clear on how to use this function since it doesn't return anything in my case. If I use the GetAllUids() function its returns {1:3} whereas with CheckForNewEmail() I see {-1}. I have created a new gmail account here and have 3 emails which are all new and unread. Below is my sample implementation in VB.net. Is my call to CheckForNewEmail() correct here ? Please help me understand if I am not doing it right.
Dim ChilkatUIDLs_GetAllUids As New Chilkat.MessageSet Dim ChilkatUIDLs_CheckForNewEmail As New Chilkat.MessageSet
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

chilkat ♦♦
The CheckForNewEmail method is for checking for emails with the RECENT flag set, or emails that have a UID greater than the UIDNEXT value. These would be emails that have arrived in the time period after the mailbox has been selected. In the example snippet above, the CheckForNewEmail happens (essentially) right after the mailbox is selected. The idea behind CheckForNewEmail is that you'll have an open/active session with a selected mailbox, and at some later point in time the app wants to see if any new emails have arrived since the mailbox was selected. It can call CheckForNewEmail to get the UIDs of new emails.
It's good to understand more clearly the meaning of the RECENT flag. Here is the explanation from the IMAP RFC:
CheckForEmail does two things to detect new email:
Your app would only call CheckForNewEmail after the currently selected mailbox has been selected for some period of time (the amount of elapsed time depends on how frequently you expect to receive email..)

White space in each page
On the site:
you'll see that there is a bit too much white space between the menu and the content of the page.
I think that is because the 'breadcrumbs' were removed – but the area for those breadcrumbs was not removed.
Does anyone know the correct page to edit (I'm guessing page.css)? And what part of the page needs to be removed?

How heart-breaking battle with dementia almost destroyed one couple's 50 years of love with threats, mood swings and talk of suicide
Since 2014 the Sivyer's marriage has been taken over by dementia
REMEMBERING what first attracted him to wife Pam is easy for Tom Sivyer.
He says: "The legs, if you want me to tell the truth. Super! Stiletto shoes. I thought, 'Look at that.' She took over my life from there."
It was the start of a 50-year love affair between two soulmates who have been by each other's side for most of their adult lives.
Pam, too, knew when they met that "that would be it".
But since 2014, their enviably close and romantic marriage has been slowly torn apart by Tom's dementia.
For two years after his diagnosis, grandson Dominic filmed Tom and Pam's daily struggle with the illness for documentary Grandad, Dementia And Me, shown on BBC1 tonight.
In some of his lowest moments, Tom, 79, begs his family: "Shoot me. I don't care if I die. Give me the gun and I'll shoot myself."
As well as a dramatic loss of short-term memory, the disease has caused Tom to have violent mood swings, often leading him to lash out at the one person he would never normally dream of hurting.
On the programme, Pam, 80, says: "It's very frustrating to have to deal with someone who is an entirely different person to the one you married."
But as viewers will see, not even the devastation and heartbreak of his illness can break his bond with his beloved Pam.
Having not only built a successful business life as a haulier but also an idyllic home life with Pam at their five-bedroom detached home in Kent, retired Tom is unable to reconcile why everything around him is collapsing.
As a physically fit alpha male not used to help, he refuses to accept his illness or be guided by his wife. When he was told he had vascular dementia — which is caused by a restricted blood supply to the brain — he replied: "Bollocks!"
In the documentary, he is seen crying: "No! I deny it and I always will do. I even know my Army number. I just can't be bothered to retain stuff that doesn't interest me."
But for Tom's family, denial is not an option.
While at their holiday home in Cyprus in 2015, Tom became so out of control that Dominic feared he would physically attack Pam.
Recalling her husband's behaviour, she tells Dominic: "Grandad was so aggressive, he was just shouting and shouting. You were in the middle trying to get in between us to save me, to protect me.

"You said, 'I'm not leaving you with Grandad, you're not safe with him any more'."
Dominic returns home to England with his grandad, leaving Pam in Cyprus for a much-needed break.
However, Tom becomes obsessed by her absence. Forgetting why his wife is not with him, he continually calls her to verbally abuse her — unable to remember he already had done minutes earlier.
On the occasions she does not answer, he leaves endless voicemails full of emotional blackmail, vitriol and threats.
At one point he screams: "When are you coming home? You should be on the plane tomorrow. I am in a state here. If you abandon me now I might as well cut my throat."
When he hangs up he tells grandson Dominic: "It drives me f***ing sick, it's stupid. I just wanted her to know how bloody disappointed I am in her. What is she doing over there without me?"
The effect of being separated from Pam even for a short time is enormous for Tom.
Without her, he becomes dangerously erratic — waking in the middle of the night, confused, raging and hallucinating.
In October 2015, to Pam's great distress, he was sectioned for 28 days.
Looking back on that day, Dominic says: "I was shocked that such drastic action had been taken but Grandad's situation was not uncommon. Half of all those sectioned in the UK have dementia."
At the hospital, Tom tries to rationalise where he is, assuming he is in a cheap hotel.
His hallucinations continue and he recalls parking his car, despite not leaving the ward. Even if it was reality, the DVLA revoked his licence after his diagnosis.
Tom's condition does not improve and he rages at doctors: "Dementia! I hate the f***ing word. What is dementia, I forget things? Well I haven't forgotten that they've stuffed me here. Where am I going to go when I'm out of here?"
Later, a guilt-racked Pam makes the heart-breaking decision to put her husband into a nursing home. She feels even worse after lying to him that it is only temporary.
She says: "It was so sad. I don't know where to go from here. How can I live with that, that anger?"
Tom's response is to accuse Pam of having an affair, telling her: "I'm fit, I want to get out of this place.
"I'm finding your attitude about this quite strange. Why did you bugger off on holiday when I'm in the middle of a crisis? What do you do over there? Go out dancing? Have you had a boyfriend?"
Once in the nursing home, Tom gets so upset during Pam's visits that staff ask her to visit him less.
It is a bitter pill for a once- inseparable couple.
There is brief respite for the family at Christmas, with Tom staying with daughter Becky. He is on such good form that the family dare to hope he is back to his old self.
It leads to him moving back home. But Pam quickly realises she is unable to cope. Again Tom is sectioned.
Pam says: "I was pleased. I wanted him to go away like mad, with all my heart. I prayed he should go. I felt guilty because I didn't feel sorry for him. I should have been devastated that he was in hospital, and I wasn't."
After he is discharged, Tom and Pam's daughter Becky — on of their three children — take him in. She also struggles, having to put a lock on her bedroom door to stop her dad getting into bed with her when he becomes frightened in the night.
Without her husband at home, Pam fell into a deep depression and was unable to cope with their spacious home on her own.
She recalls: "I didn't want to get dressed or go out. I didn't want to ring anybody or talk to anybody. I sometimes just sat and didn't go to bed. I never felt so low and I couldn't see a way forward."
With a heavy heart, Pam moves into a retirement village. The support and entertainment there eases her depression — but Tom remains deeply unhappy, begging Becky: "Shoot me, my world has collapsed."
Unable to understand his dementia is the cause of their separation, he says: "I feel so betrayed, I feel mentally scarred. I just think we've fallen out of love. Fifty years we've been together."
But he continues to send her love letters and soon it is clear both were more miserable apart.
In the film, Pam reads out one of the cards he's sent her. It says: "When we met I was dancing over the moon with my luck and I miss you so much it hurts."
Pam says: "I tried to tell myself I didn't love him but I was kidding myself. I think I needed that break.
"He rang me up and he was just crying and he said, 'It's breaking my heart', and I thought, 'I can't do this, this isn't the end of our story, it can't be'.
"I said, 'Bring him now, bring him straight home now'. That's the best remark I've ever made."
While still in denial over his illness, Tom says: "The word dementia annoys me. The more it comes at me the more I shall kick it away."
But he adds: "All I have got to worry about is that I love my wife. We've had ups and downs but we've been married a long time and she has fought for me and gone beyond any reasonable thing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me.
"If anything happened to her then I would be in trouble. I definitely would be."

Dear Whoever Has Seen Freshly Pressed Lately, 12-17-2011
"The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it." -unknown
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."-unknown
"One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past."-unknown
When I log into WordPress.com, I always check the Freshly Pressed tab thing and see if any titles catch my eye. Sometimes there is none. Sometimes there's one. Or sometimes on occasion there will be three or four that sound interesting. Well this Freshly Pressed post caught my eye cause it was about letters. A letter to her past self. Her younger self. I thought that was interesting because it reminded me of a song that I love.
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
And when you get a date with Bridgette make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishin' you 'til you shine
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
If I could write a letter to me
To me
As a writer who loves music and the lyrics in the music almost as much as their words…this song is amazing. Why, you may be thinking? Well that is simple. From the lyrics you can gather what type of guy the artist is and what type of life he has led. You immediately know if he's happy with his life or not. The reader -the listener has a pretty good idea of what happened to "Aunt Rita". The listener of the song can see his back round and imagine the setting, the seventeen-year-old studying for that algebra test thinking of the bonfire rally the whole time, or him taking out Bridgette on a date, or him getting dumped by his long-time girlfriend. So it:
paints an amazing picture. Gives you character, setting, pictures. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
has feeling, like a ton. It takes you through the sweet parts of life like having a wife and kids and being at that age of contentment. But it also takes you through the lows, such as getting dumped or not being able to go to a party cause you have to study to pass a test.
It probably does more but it's 1am so I'm sorta tired and making lists, blogging, and watching tv is not helping me stay up. So therefore I'm only listing two things.
Anyways, back to my original reason for posting this, that blog post on Freshly Pressed. It's here: http://tracilee.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/dear-me-a-letter-to-my-16-year-old-self/ Essentially the same thing. I like the song version better in my opinion but then again, he is a professional singer. I love these letters and when I get old enough to really reflect on my life, well then, you better believe I'm going to write a few of these. Heck, if I still have a blog then, if I have this blog, which is a real possibility, well then, I'll even post them for you. I have lived through a lot already but who am I addressing it to? Dear Infant Me? Doesn't quite sound right does it? I love hearing and reading letters like this though. They've inspired many venting letters of this sort, and from those, this blog idea, and from that the Dear Whoever's everyone seems to like, 'cause if ya didn't, you wouldn't be reading this I assume. Anyways, enjoy and look out for the December/January contest that I'm working on setting up.
Forever and always, eshy,
P.S. The song is called Letter To Me, by Brad Paisley, in the country genre, on the album Fifth Gear. Or is it 5th Gear? Anyways all his albums and songs are very real and very awesome. I love him. But my sister loves him more. Too bad he's married. Not to my sister though. I think she's now obsessed and wanting to marry Blake Griffin.
P.P.S. Sorry that the quotes don't really relate to the post. But in a way they do.
P.P.P.S. I swear that one month I'll write twenty posts and fill up a whole category of 20 Dear Whoevers. I got a wallet today by the way, not that it matters. *grumbles* Why am I talking to myself again? Agh! Well I ordered it online. Hopefully it will come soon. That was my Christmas present to myself. Okay well nighty-night. Technically goodmorning now but anywho—ciao.

The Korean Food Collection that Goes Well with Chinese Food!
2018-02-28 13:33:29
- Font Size
- Font Size Down Font Size Up
[by Ma Chae Rim] As the walls of the border become more flexible, food culture is being shared around the world. This is also true in Korea. Everyone is exposed to various food culture such as Chinese food, Japanese food and Western food to become food experts. Among them, if you choose the food of other countries which has been loved by Koreans for the longest time, it must be Chinese.
Due to the steady cultural exchange with Korea, Chinese people are also increasingly interested in Korean food. If you are still unfamiliar with authentic Korean food, let's take a look at Korean food that matches well with Chinese food. As fusion foods and other menus are gaining popularity these days, we introduce Korean food that goes well with Chinese food.
# Chicken
China is famous for various kinds of chicken and duck dishes, but if you want to enjoy different kinds of chicken dishes, it is recommended to taste Korean chicken. The meat is soft while the surface is crispy and it is filled with flavors. You can enjoy the chicken by itself, but it also delicious to enjoy it with noodles and rice. In Korea, many are already enjoying them with rice and it made a new word 'Chibap', which means to add chicken and rice together.
Especially, Goobne Chicken's Honey Curry Basasak, which has added a sweet honey flavor and an exotic curry flavor, captured the taste of Asian people including Korea. In addition to China and Hong Kong, Macau and Japan are also selling Goobna chicken, which is Korea's representative oven-grilled chicken brand, attracting many visitors with its diverse menus, side menus, accessible stores and clean interior.
It is one of the most delicious Korean food loved by foreigners because of the sweet seasoning. You can cook in a frying pan to enjoy the grave, or you can grill them to enjoy the savory taste. Depending on your taste, you can use different meet like pork bulgogi or beef bulgogi, and it goes really well with various vegetables.
You can add Bulgogi to the various Chinese friend rice to enjoy more sweet and rich texture. By adding Bulgogi on top of a noodle dish, you can taste the deep savory broth, and it can also be paired with any dish that goes well with meat.
#Kimchi Fried Rice
Maybe Kimchi is the first food you think of when you think of Korea. The kimchi fried rice, which is made by finely chopping kimchi and frying it in a pan filled with various ingredients according to your taste, is easy to cook but still delicious. That is why it is one of the favorite food of most Koreans. The taste of the spicy and flavorful kimchi removes any greasiness so it is perfect to pair it with meat dish. In Korea, eating fried rice is a must after you eat meat to complete the meal properly.
If you want to enjoy fusion food, let's add kimchi fried rich to mapo tofu. The soft tofu texture and crispy kimchi texture will give your mouth more pleasure. You can add left over lamb meat in the kimchi fried rice or simply eat kimchi fried rice on the side while you are eating meat.

"This is a painting I did of Palace Pier (from Marine Parade). It shows the theatre at the end, which was sadly removed in 1986 and replaced with a dome. It's called 'Dirty Weekend' because I like double entendres. Some people think the man looks like Dennis Thatcher. I make no comment whatsoever."
What an amazing painting!
I now live in the States and my brother sent this print to me just so I wouldn't forget the 'lovely weather'!
I have lived in Australia for nearly 40 years but have this printed on my wall to bring me happy memories of my home town.

TONY BEDARD on CONVERGENCE: SPEED FORCE: 'WALLY WEST Is the BEST FLASH'
Wally West is back in the DCU — and this time it's the same Wally West that readers remember from the past. And according to writer Tony Bedard, who's writing the character for the first time since he disappeared from continuity in 2011, the character's fans are right — Wally is "the best, most fully realized character to have worn that red costume and called himself the Fastest Man Alive."
Thanks to Convergence, the mega-event that takes over the DCU in April and May, the pre-Flashpoint version of Wally West has been captured inside a domed city along with his kids, Jai and Iris. An evil Brainiac has stolen them from their own timeline, along with other heroes and villains from throughout the DCU.
The adventure in Convergence: Speed Force begins when the dome disappears, and Wally and his kids, Jai and Iris, run into other heroes and villains — including the Flashpoint version of Wonder Woman. And although it would be tough for a Flash to keep up with the Amazon princess in battle, it might be an easier task for the whole Flash family.
Bedard is writing three of the Convergence tie-in mini-series, which all serve as tie-ins to the main, weekly Convergence title. The tie-ins are all two issues each, and Bedard is scripting Convergence: Speed Force, Convergence: Aquaman, and Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax.
Newsarama talked to Bedard about the chance to write Wally West, why his fans are so loyal, and why he — and so many others — call Wally "my" Flash.
Newsarama: Tony, what's it like for you to revisit the Flash family of Wally West?
Tony Bedard: Let's face it: as exciting as the New 52 has been, Wally West was one of its biggest casualties, and one of the most sorely missed DC characters since the relaunch. So it's actually a huge thrill to be writing him in Speed Force. It's like reuniting with a long lost friend, even though I think this is my first time writing a Flash comic.
As for getting to write him at this particular point in his life, married to Linda Park and father to Iris and Jai — that part is definitely new to me. I mean, the notion that Wally settled down and had kids wasn't crazy. Waid had made him such a dimensional character and such a great guy that it made sense to take his relationship with Linda to the next level. But what he did with those kids was kinda mind-blowing.
First, their powers were unstable, causing them to have weird growth spurts and tap into the Speed Force in strange ways. Also, the Speed Force literally tied the kids to Wally so that just thinking about them could suddenly teleport them to his side. This usually happened unintentionally and only complicated things for Wally. And when he ran, Wally would sort of tow the kids with the lightning trailing behind him. All of this forced Wally to make sure his kids mastered their powers before they fell victim to his enemies or to the Speed Force itself.
So not only do I get to revisit Wally, but at perhaps the strangest moment of his career.
Nrama: What was your first exposure to this version of Wally? And what did the character come to represent to you?
Bedard: I had been a longtime Wally West fan as well as a Mark Waid fan. I actually owe much of my writing career to Waid, who in turn made his name with his character-defining run on The Flash.
And to this day I think Wally West is the best, most fully realized character to have worn that red costume and called himself the Fastest Man Alive. I know them's fightin' words for some readers, but I would also point out that I prefer Kyle Rayner to Hal Jordan, if that tells you where I'm coming from.
Nrama: You're not the only one who feels that way. There are some very loyal Wally fans out there. Why do you think he has such a loyal fan-following?
Bedard: I think Wally came along at a moment when mainstream comics were getting less plot-driven and more character-driven, when the whole style of comics writing was evolving and we were able to create subtler, more human heroes.
Add to that Waid's mission to make Wally someone who was truly heroic in the best sense of the word. Waid took over a Flash comic that had began with Wally as a bit of a womanizer and I know Waid wanted to take measures to rehabilitate. He also wanted to explore the source of Wally's power, and find new permutations for his super-speed.
He wound up introducing so many great things to the Flash continuity, such as the fact that he was part of a legacy of speedsters, not to mention the whole concept of the Speed Force. And with the amazing Mike Wieringo bringing all those concepts to life, The Flash was consistently one of DC's best books for a long time.
Through The Flash and JLA, Wally touched a lot of lives, including mine. He was "my" Flash. I think a lot of readers who got into comics in the '80s and '90s feel the same way.
Nrama: Yet Wally in a very different situation now, not only because he's married and has kids, but he's in the midst of this event featuring domed cities. What appeals to you as a writer about revisiting the character now?
Bedard: Aside from the fact that we've been missing this guy for a few years, my own personal connection to Wally also has a lot to do with the time I spent as Associate Editor on Grant Morrison's JLA run. Grant created a buddy connection between Wally and Kyle that I really responded to.
So it's with great personal fondness that I approached this Speed Force story for Convergence. Add to that the fact that I'm a father now, so I can totally share Wally's feelings and fears as he's trying to prepare his children for an often hostile world.
Nrama: What's Wally's life like as we pick up his story in your Convergence issue?
Bedard: In Convergence: Speed Force #1, Wally, Iris and Jai have been trapped in Gotham City, cut off from the world by a mysterious dome for a year. Linda wasn't with them, so Wally hasn't seen his wife, and the kids haven't seen their mom in all that time, and Wally is guilt-ridden about that separation. He is desperate to get back home and let Linda know they're okay.
But when the dome comes down, Wally's and the kids' situation goes from bad to worse.
Nrama: How would you describe his kids as we meet them in the Convergence world? How old are they, what are their powers and personalities like?
Bedard: Iris is around 12 and Jai is around 8 or 9, but those ages are deceptive since the kids' unstable powers prematurely aged them from babies to their current forms. One reason Wally is so desperate to help them master their powers is the fear that another such growth spurt could suddenly age them to death.
As for their personalities, Jai is still pretty close to his father while Iris is pulling away, as kids often do as they enter their teens.
Iris and Jai exhibit different powers derived from the Speed Force. Jai can temporarily bulk up, increasing his strength and resilience. Iris can vibrate through objects like a ghost.
But their powers are less important than the fact that they are cut off from their mom, in a strange city, and Wally feels terrible about having put them all in this situation.
Nrama: What other characters will we meet in your story? Are you getting to deal with the Zoo Crew?
Bedard: Yeah, the beauty of Convergence is that we have characters from all different continuities sharing one world, and this leads to some really fun clashes and team-ups.
In our case, Wally and the kids will cross paths with Fastback from the Zoo Crew — a super-fast turtle — which blows Wally's mind even as it delights the kids.
I totally loved writing Fastback! Trying to play a character like that straight only makes him even stranger — and funner.
Nrama: What's the main threat to the Flash family and the heroes in this story?
Bedard: Part of the whole Convergence setup is that characters from different versions of the DCU are set against each other in death matches.
Wally's misfortune is that he ends up face to face with the evil Wonder Woman from Flashpoint and finds she's more than a match for him. So it takes a true speedster team-up — the Flash, Iris, Jai and Fastback — to get past the Amazon nightmare.
But even with all these continuities overlapping, I never wanted to lose sight of the heart of this tale: Wally's love for his kids and his overwhelming need to reunite with Linda. This is all about family.
Nrama: Anything else you want to mention about the story in Speed Force?
Bedard: I just need to mention what a thrill and honor it is to be working with Tom Grummett — an artist whose work I've long admired. Just seeing his loose thumbnails coming in gave me a thrill. The guy is just a master, and for someone who started reading comics when I did, I feel like this is what comic art should be: clear, powerful, not a wasted line. Grummett is DC Comics art at its best, like working with Garcia-Lopez or Dan Jurgens. I'm kinda humbled to have him bringing this story to life!
Nrama: As someone who worked on the beginnings of the New 52 universe, what do you think about the choice to revisit these pre-Flashpoint characters now in Convergence?
Bedard: I've loved the multiverse concept throughout my long association with DC. Some see DC's history as a stumbling block, but all I see is endless possibilities. So having taken the time to establish the New 52, I think it's a perfect time to revisit previous incarnations and celebrate just how enduring these characters are, and how many great ways there are to play them.
Funny Batman, grim Batman, Batman in space -- they're all valid versions of the character to me. And on a personal note, Convergence is giving me a chance to write 3 of my all-time favorite characters: Wally West, Kyle Rayner and Aquaman. I couldn't have asked for more.
Nrama: You've been around comics for awhile, in a lot of different jobs. Do you think there's a future for these Flash family characters from the pre-Flashpoint world?
Bedard: That's hard to say. This was a particular moment in Wally's career that stands out from the rest of it. I'm not sure if the West family can really be integrated into the current DCU outside of something like Convergence.

Turns out that show really did have Two and a Half Men. As much as I dislike the little pudgy kid who just kept getting pudgier over the years, it's Charlie Sheen who turned out to be a half a man in the end. His recent comments on Alex Jones show got the entire show production stopped, and immediately. Here's more information: Continue reading "There really were Two and a Half Men"

2010 Emmy Award Winners – Mad, Modern, Gleeful
Here's an incomplete list of Sunday night winners of the 62nd Emmy Awards. A lot of new shows got the prize, a lot of regulars/favorites are walking away empty-handed. The time is right for new kids to get the spotlight – Glee, Mad Men (ok, they have been noticed before), Breaking Bad, The Pacific, The Good Wife, Modern Family. All fresh ideas, all deserving the statue. Looking forward to the new seasons of these fantastic shows. You should check them out.

WGA strike update – affected shows
The writers' strike is beginning to affect the current shows. There are the basics – November is normally a sweeps month, so most of the shows have many episodes in the bank, already written and completed. Because December and January are typically slow – holidays and reruns – a few networks complete at least half of the season before the end of November. In other words, these shows can have enough new episodes to last into February. Many new shows still don't have a full-season order, therefore, no new shows scripted or produces, and they are going to run out of new shows pretty soon. Here's the tally so far, across the networks. We fully support the writers, but take a look at this list and beware – your faves are going into reruns pretty quickly. You may not notice it over the holiday season, but come January – you might as well start going to sports arenas and opera houses.

Fall TV (06-07) premiere dates
Wow, look at the list of all the shows this season. You'd think there would be a few less, since WB and UPN have merged, and FOX with NBC has seen a lot of cancellations last year. Nope, they're all back – your favourites, as well as newbies, waiting for your approval. A few notes: FOX is leading the pack, starting the season early, once again. I guess the other networks still think that FOX doesn't count, too bad for them. CBS and NBC are stubborn in their late premieres – watch for their new shows in the end of September. ABC – with Lost, Gray's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives – have nothing to worry about. A network only needs a handful of standout shows. Let's see who will be the first to get canceled. Any early bets?

CBS premiere dates 06-07
It was only a matter of time before Survivor tackled Cook islands – a few truly untouched places on earth. Let's bring in American faux-celebs, and camera crews. And, to no one's surprise, Two and a Half Men is still on schedule, despite being the most overrated sitcoms of the last decade (besides Yes, Dear). Other than these two shows, I have no problems with CBS new lineup. All the CSIs are good entertainment, Numb3rs and Criminal Minds are gaining in popularity; The Unit is a good military drama; and of course there's How I Met Your Mother and Old Christine. Also new this year – Shark, Smith, The Class and Jericho. Stay tuned for show reviews.

Threshold (CBS)
This TV season is full or supernatural shows (trying to duplicate the amazing success of last year's Lost. Of all the shows I am most intrigued about Threshold – a new project from Brannon Braga – the guy behind numerous Star Trek's series. To be sure, I tuned in to watch Supernatural, Surface and Invasion, and while all of them are engaging and suspenseful shows, I put Threshold a few notches above – it has better talent and shows off more experienced writing team.
First off, Carla Gugino. She was the heart of a recent ABC show "Karen Cisco" (remember the role played by Jennifer Lopez in Out Of Sight). A great FBI caper, with interesting cases, intelligent criminals and a good cast, the show didn't survive, but it proved that Gugino can move to small screen successfully. She's back in a similar role – an ass kicker with a degree. An ass kicker under pressure.

My Name Is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, Out of Practice, Office
Ah, mid-to-late September is here. You know what this means. No, not the gorgeous fall season. No, not the cloudless sky and cool nights. No, not the horrendous traffic as all kids big and small get on the road and start crawling sideways… No, this means new TV shows. And unlike so many many other websites, magazines and TV promos, in here we will not review a show before seeing it. We will tell you what we think after we sit down and catch it ourselves. That's what reviewing is all about. Late, but honest. Anyway, we've been so busy trying to catch up with all the new shows out there, that it's best to review stuff in groups. Today, it's the new offerings from CBS – How I Met Your Mother, and Out Of Practice; and NBC's new hit – My Name Is Earl. Also, an honorable mention to The Office. Why, you may ask? Why the heck not.
It's good to be a sitcom these days. Hardly any competition, very high standards, and very low expectations. It means that if you are so-so, you have about 3-4 weeks before you're canned. But if you're good… Boy oh boy if you're good, you're the next Desperate Housewives, only funnier, smarter and only half-an-hour long. And not sexist. Yeah, I gotta problem with that housewife show, and the more popular it gets, the more I resent this pretentious piece of crap. But enough about my hang-ups.

Everybody Loves Raymond – nobody loves his women
I am still seething from Monday's episode. Yes, while the rest of the civilized world was watching NFL, and suddenly got a glimpse of women's breasts (and while we're on this topic – how long are we going to keep witnessing wardrobe malfunctions that are nothing but awkward ploys to promote shows?), I tuned in to CBS, and figured what could go wrong with a safe, family-friendly Listen Up, followed by Raymond, and finished off with creepy but sensitive Horatio and CSI: Miami? Well, if you've seen this week's episode, you'll agree that plenty wrong can be hidden in a seemingly politically correct show that tries very hard to offend only its cast members.
Yes, I'm talking about the "Boys' Therapy" episode, a 23 minute romp that I almost turned off in the first 2 minutes when I heard the glee with which the women (Debra, Marie and Amy) uttered to word "therapy"and pounded it into the men (Ray, Frank, Robert). Yes, what better way to instill insecurity and inadequacy in your audience than by declaring that "therapy will solve all our (and YOUR) problems"? I actually expected to see flashing 1-800 numbers during the show to encourage people to "start dialing", and put their lives in order. But that didn't happen.

Why does everybody love Raymond?
I have a friend. Let's call him Bob. Bob is a single male who comes from an Anglo-Saxon/Austrian background and he hates Everybody Loves Raymond. Then again he didn't get My Big Fat Greek Wedding either. I understand why.
He sees nothing in common with these people. He never had to deal with "the guilt" or "you look so pale, eat something" comments. He never had to balance kids, work, home, parents, and in-laws. He doesn't get why every other show Raymond (Ray Romano) begs for sex and it's funny. Or Marie (Doris Roberts) insults Debra's (Patricia Heaton's) cooking and Debra looks past it as if she didn't hear it. He doesn't hear his own voice of reason when Debra speaks. He doesn't see his own siblings in Robert's (Brad Garrett's) constant struggle for approval. Bob doesn't understand Frank's (Peter Boyle's) acidic remarks. And he won't.

Recessive Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) (OMIM #226600) is a rare and severe genetic skin disease of children and adults responsible for blistering of the skin after mild trauma. The skin (epithelium) of people suffering of this disease is so fragile that even minor rasping could produce blistering. Prevalence of DEB in Europe is estimated between 0.03 and 0.24 in 10,000. It is caused by recessive mutations in COL7A1 encoding type VII collagen, the constituent of anchoring fibres which form essential structures for dermal-epidermal adherence (Varki et al., 2007).
Type VII collagen expression
To date, only medical care protocols involving symptomatic treatment of recurrent and severe blistering can decrease or delay complications of the disease: local and systemic infections, syndactyly, malnutrition, joint contractures, and aggressive skin cancers. No drug is known to compensate the underlying molecular defects in EB disease. Prolonged use of steroids is contraindicated because of their lack of efficiency on dermal-epidermal adhesion and their side effects. No other drugs, including phenytoin and tetracycline, which often are associated with serious adverse complications, have improved the blistering or epithelial disadhesion in RDEB significantly or consistently.
Surgical treatment mainly includes removal of squamous cell carcinomas and hand surgery to treat fusion of the digits in severely affected patients. Unfortunately, this particularly heavy and painful surgery only delays the loss of function of hands in these patients.
Other surgical procedures include:
a. Skin bioequivalents
Artificial skin bioequivalents made using allogeneic cells, such as Apligraf (Organogenesis, Canton, MA, USA) have been used in small numbers of DEB patients on acute and chronic wounds (Falabella et al., 2000). Initial results have been encouraging; however, the duration of survival of such grafts has not been fully determined.
b. Allogeneic or autologous skin graft
Grafts of skin equivalent made of allogeneic cultured keratinocytes have been used with limited success. It is tempting to consider autologous skin grafting, but this has proved to be of limited value in ensuring permanent healing (Terrill et al., 1992). Indeed, autologous grafting of either full-split skin (taken in non blistering areas) or grafting of epithelia made from cultured autologous keratinocytes have so far failed to produce lasting benefit (McGrath et al., 1993). The cost of such treatments, considering covering of large areas for only a limited time means that this is not an option for most DEB patients.
Overall, these palliative treatments of RDEB cannot prevent the recurrence of the lesions arising from loss of dermo-epidermal adherence caused by defective expression of type VII collagen and none of these treatments are curative.

The GENEGRAFT research program aims to fill the serious therapeutical void by developing ex vivo gene therapy protocols for RDEB by:
It is expected that the clinical benefits of a novel and effective therapy for RDEB would prevent the occurrence of the most severe complications of the disease, thus improving the functional and vital prognosis of these young patients.

The Astonishing "Mada'in Saleh" Rock-Cut Tombs
Continuing on this note, we felt it a good time to cover another incredible ancient wonder, and indeed set of rock cut temples, known as Mada'in Saleh. Predictably a little shared enigmatic site, it is located within modern day Saudi Arabia. Purportedly dating from the Nabatean kingdom, 1st century AD, it is the southernmost settlement after the better known, yet no less impressive, Petra, made famous by the Indiana jones epics. In 2008, UNESCO proclaimed Mada'in Saleh a site of "patrimony," becoming Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage Site.


text: This collection of finds features recoveries that were not included in our main adventure videos, a kind of 'Director's Cut' from 2017 edits. We travel from Queensland to Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia in search of coins, relics and gold in this final video of 2017. Look for (or hear for) cameo appearances by Greckie of CWPS, Jacob from Digging Australia, and Ben from Gold Diggers. We would like to thank all our subscribers for their support and look forward to some more great finds in 2018! All the best and Happy Fossicking from Colleen and Warren!

text: Hi, I've just watched the really long video on the Apple website and I'm impressed what the new iPhone will have to offer. Steve says that it will not be sold anywhere else in the world for over $199 for the 8gb model and $299 for the 16gb. 1/ Do you think when it's released it will be selling like mad on eBay again? - If yes, how would the sellers possibly do this? I'm sure I've heard that if you're going into a store to buy the contract version (there is going to be a pay and go one as well) you have to sign up to the o2 contract via direct debit. So how would the eBay sellers do this? They're obviously not going to buy a few to sell on eBay then be stuck with contracts themselves!? 2/ I've looked on the o2.co.uk website and seen that there is going to be a pay as you go Apple iPhone version. Do you think this one, as well as the contract model will be unlockable? Domcole.

About these proceedings
The International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS) creates a unique atmosphere for scientists of all fields, engineers, physicians, executives, and a host of other professionals to explore the common themes and applications of complex systems science. In June 2006, 500 participants convened in Boston for the sixth ICCS, exploring an array of topics, including networks, systems biology, evolution and ecology, nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation, as well as neural, psychological, psycho-social, socio-economic, and global systems.
This volume selects 77 papers from over 300 presented at the conference. With this new volume, Unifying Themes in Complex Systems continues to build common ground between the wide-ranging domains of complex systems science.

The statement added that the tweeters were accused of posting remarks "undermining the values and traditions of Bahrain's society towards the king on Twitter.â€
The Bahraini uprising began in mid-February 2011, when the people, inspired by the popular revolutions that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt, started holding massive demonstrations.
The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring states.
Activists in Bahrain employ the microblogging website, Twitter, in a move to report what they describe as regime "violations†against them.
Dozens of people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries.
A report published by Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry in November 2011 found that the Al Khalifa regime had used excessive force in the crackdown and accused Manama of torturing political activists, politicians, and protesters.
Bahrainis say they will continue holding demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met.
