When German voters head to the polls Sept. 22 for federal parliamentary elections, the results might seem to carry profound implications for the future of the euro zone. After all, the sentiments of German voters - specifically, their reluctance to pay for bailouts in struggling euro-zone economies - have played one of the more crucial roles in shaping the euro zone's response to its debt crisis. With the International Monetary Fund's recent revelation that Greece will likely need another cash infusion next year, one could easily conclude that Germany's man on the street won't simply be casting a vote that will determine the future of his country; he'll be casting a vote that will determine the future of the European Union itself.
In reality, though, there's little reason to expect radical change. We're not exactly going out on a limb when we suggest that German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the pragmatic center-right leader who has shaped the response to the debt crisis more than any other European official, will almost certainly stay in power. Fifty-eight percent of voters would like her to remain in office, compared to 27 percent who prefer her primary opponent, the center-left SPD party's Peer Steinbrück. As such, Credit Suisse's Senior European Economist Christel Aranda-Hassel told The Financialist that the election is unlikely to have a dramatic impact on Germany's EU policy going forward.
But even though Merkel will likely remain Germany's leader, her dance partners might change. Though Merkel's conservative CDU party is currently ahead in the polls, it is unlikely to get enough support to govern on its own, and polls show that voters could shake things up a bit by bringing a new coalition to the Bundestag. In a recent poll, slightly more than half of German voters said that they would like to see a grand coalition with the Social Democrats of the SPD, while only about one-third of voters want to keep the current matchup with the center-right, free-market FDP. Given the vagaries of polling versus voting, that's a statistical toss-up, and Credit Suisse has said that at this point, Merkel has a roughly equal chance of winding up in coalition with either party.
As far as the monetary union is concerned, it probably doesn't matter all that much with which party Merkel shares power. The German chancellor has repeatedly resisted efforts to mutualize the debts of EU member nations, and a red-black coalition, as Germans call a potential SPD-CDU matchup, probably wouldn't change that. The Social Democrats of SPD call themselves the "European party of Germany" in their platform, Aranda-Hassel noted, but they also know that despite a desire among most German voters that the currency union stay intact, they aren't crazy about shouldering responsibility for the debts of their fellow euro members. (A Pew Research poll in May showed that 60 percent of Germans had a favorable view of the European Union and 66 percent preferred to keep the euro, rather than returning to the deutsche mark as the national currency.) "Earlier in the crisis, the Social Democrats (SPD) tried to differentiate themselves from the government by seeming to be more in favor of Eurobonds," Aranda-Hassel said, referring to a proposal last year to issue new bonds backed by all euro-zone member countries, which Merkel strongly opposed. "They learned the hard way that that has not given them a single vote. And behind closed doors, the SPD would tell you they like the idea, but only if there's a full fiscal union, which is still a while away. My view has always been that there is not a big difference between one party and the other." (In fact, the CDU also considers a full fiscal union to be a prerequisite to even thinking about mutualizing debt.)
Regardless, EU officials have been anxiously awaiting the end of Germany's election season so that everyone can get back to haggling about the creation of an EU banking union. There has been some progress on that front, including an agreement to allow the European Central Bank to supervise banks throughout the euro zone starting in 2014. EU finance ministers also have tentatively agreed on a set of standard procedures that every country in the euro zone would have to follow when shuttering failing banks. The plan would allow banks to draw on a permanent EU bailout fund only after getting rid of at least 8 percent of liabilities via haircuts to shareholders and creditors and getting their respective national governments to pony up an additional 5 percent.
Even in the lead-up to the election, German officials continue to flex their political and economic muscle, and have already voiced displeasure over the next proposed step toward a full-fledged banking union - the establishment of a single European body that could recommend shutting down a failing bank anywhere in the euro zone. In a July letter to Michel Barnier, the European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble argued that the proposal overstepped EU law and put too much power in one centralized authority. As the euro zone's largest economy, Germany would naturally much prefer that individual countries remain responsible for dealing with their own failing banks. Schäuble also said that vesting power in a central European body would require changes to the EU treaty - a time-consuming and uncertain process that could delay or even derail the so-called Single Resolution Mechanism, which the European Commission wants in place by 2015. In addition to a single authority for failing banks, European Union authorities are also seeking more long-term agreement about euro-zone members joining forces to guarantee bank deposits throughout the region. But that, too, will have to wait until the electioneering is done. "The German taxpayer does not want to hear ahead of an election that it is his money that is going to bail out banks elsewhere," Aranda-Hassel noted.
Germany will likely end up ceding ground on the idea of a full banking union because breaking the link between bank debt and sovereign debt is an essential step to ending the European crisis once and for all, Aranda-Hassel said. But she cautions against expecting that process to be accelerated in the event that the mildly pro-Europe SPD enters a coalition government. "Any hopes that a move towards Eurobonds or the banking union could be speeded up (with an SPD-CDU coalition) are likely to be short-lived," Aranda-Hassell wrote in a recent note entitled "Germany Goes to the Polls." "The SPD is likely to share the CDU/CSU's hostility to any banking resolution scheme financed by domestic taxpayers without a German veto…The SPD is also likely to back the CDU on not supporting anything as controversial as a common bank resolution fund or Eurobonds without a treaty change."
The SPD could soften some of the CDU's more hard-edged views toward euro-zone issues on the margins, however. For one thing, Aranda-Hassel noted, the SPD pays more lip service to encouraging growth, specifically through a light-on-specifics campaign promise to set up a European investment and reconstruction fund. But the one real difference that the SPD could make, Aranda-Hassel said, would be to encourage more economic stimulus in Germany itself. Germans are notoriously enthusiastic savers, and Credit Suisse has said repeatedly that boosting demand in Germany could lift growth throughout Europe. "The Social Democrats are more likely to pump-prime and use fiscal means to pursue growth a little bit more than the CDU," she said. "So I think it would be healthier for Europe if we get a grand coalition, rather than a repeat of the CDU and FDP."
Whatever happens, it's highly unlikely that Germany will end up taking a harsher stance on important issues like supporting further bailouts. Support for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), an anti-EU party that first emerged earlier this year, has hovered at an anemic 2-3 percent - well short of the 5 percent of the vote needed to gain representation in the Bundestag. Still, with Greece once again grabbing headlines, the group could prove to be a spoiler by siphoning votes from both CDU and FDP, making a coalition between the CDU and SPD more likely.
If Merkel wins, which she seems set to do, the German elections are unlikely to have significant new implications for the future of the European Union. German politicians are likely to continue to rail against calls for their taxpayers to contribute more to resolve debt troubles in fellow EU countries, only to agree on a compromise in the end. Sometimes power isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The hungarian ministry of foreign affairs so far fails to call in the Romanian ambassador, Jobbik will do it (2016.01.04.)
I will not respect an anti-hungarian law (2015.12.09.)
Jobbik MP István Szávay held a press conference in his representative office in Dunaszerdahely (Dunajská Streda) on Wednesday.
Szijjártó vs. Semjén
"I never expected this much hysteria and disowning contest of politicians following the opening of my office," Szávay commented on the "anti-office" law passed by the Slovakian Parliament on November 12, based on which, political parties may expect a fine of 600 to 3500 euros, if they were not established according to the Slovakian election act and operate an office in the territory of Slovakia, explains parameter.sk news portal.
Jobbik's vice president expressed his dissatisfaction with the Hungarian government's failure to file a complaint about this amendment of Slovakian law which, in his view, has an anti-Hungarian objective. The MP explained that he had asked Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó – who had called the opening of the office a provocation – to review his position. On the other hand, he also expressed his contentment about the fact that Zsolt Semjén, when addressing the Hungarian Permanent Conference, called the Slovakian and Serbian authority procedures against his offices infringements of rights.
Jobbik's banner flies in Switzerland, too (2015.11.16.)
Jobbik's fifth foreign friendship group was established in Zurich this weekend, Alfahír reported. Gábor Opauszki is from the town of Kiskőrös and he was a member of Jobbik's group in District VII, Budapest, when he decided to move to Switzerland on account of his Swiss-frank-based loan.
While Switzerland was a common destination for Hungarian refugees in 1956, it has recently reached a "high rank" among the target countries of the increasingly intensive emigration wave, too. According to the statistical figures , Switzerland is a top target country for Hungarian emigrants after Great Britain, Germany and Austria. There are no official data about the number of the Hungarian population living there, but there are tens of thousands of them, typically clustered in the German-speaking cantons.
I have no intention to close the offices in the neighbouring countries (2015.11.12.)
István Szávay has no intention to close his representative office in Slovakia and will turn to international forums concerning the banning resolution passed in Slovakia today.
The politician says it would be a violation of rights from several aspects if his Dunaszerdahely office was to be closed based on the legislation passed in Pozsony on Thursday. The law forbids foreign parties to open a representative office in Slovakia, and stipulates a fine of up to the equivalent of one million HUF for such cases. Talking to Alfahír, Szávay emphasized:
what he established was an MP's representative office and not a party office,
István Szávay opens representative office in Vojvodina too (2015.10.30.)
Two weeks after opening his office in Dunaszerdahely (Dunajská Streda), Slovakia, Jobbik's vice president opened another representative office as a Member of Parliament, this time in Zenta (Senta), Serbia. The politician said his goal was to let the voice of Hungarians in Vojvodina be directly heard in Budapest.
As Vojvodina Hungarian news portal Délhir reported, the representative office of Jobbik MP István Szávay opened in Zenta, Vojvodina. Speaking at the official opening ceremony, the politician emphasized that he had been following the life and problems of Hungarians living abroad ever since Jobbik's foundation. As he put it, the establishment of the legal framework of dual citizenship means an obligation for the Members of the Hungarian National Assembly to represent the interests of Hungarian citizens living abroad in addition to the moral duty to care for their fellow nationals.
Lex Szávay – Slovakia ready to amend law to close Jobbik office (2015.10.20.)
Jobbik's vice president István Szávay did throw a rock in the still water of Slovakia's domestic policy by opening a representative office in Dunaszerdahely on Wednesday. In the past few days, the patriotic party's MP had been the target of a major political fire, after which the Deputy Speaker of the Slovakian Parliament announced they were going to pass legislation to regulate who could conduct political activities in Slovakia.
Vienna on Jobbik's Map (2015.10.19.)
After Munich, New York and London, Jobbik established a friendship group in Vienna, too. Organizer Attila Eggl says it will be a huge challenge to open people's eyes in one of Western Europe's leftist and liberal extremist centres.
Apart from the United Kingdom and Germany, Austria has been the most important destination for Hungarian emigration in recent years. According to official Y2013 figures, there were as many as 36 thousand Hungarians permanently employed in the neighbour country while the actual Hungarian community may be much larger. Besides, the last two years have seen record high economic emigration and the number of cross- border commuters is significant, too.
Slovakia's hungarian politicians either act as Bratislava's servants or Budapest's puppest (2015.10.18.)
"Instead of a contest in disavowing Jobbik, Slovakia's Hungarian politicians should rather compete in representing the interests of the local Hungarian community," Jobbik's vice president István Szávay said in Dunaszerdahely (Dunajská Streda) on Wednesday, where he opened his first foreign representative office in Slovakia.
Hungarian government decides not to step up against military conscription in transcarpathia
Since the local Hungarian organizations have not asked for it, the government will not step up against the unlawful drafting threatening the integrity of Hungarian families – this was the message revealed by State Secretary László Szabó's response to a question in the Hungarian Parliament on Monday. Jobbik MP István Szávay, who interpellated the government official, says his party cannot accept any military conscription quota because even a single Hungarian victim would be one too many.

HILLSBORO, Ore., Sept. 22, 2015 – SolarWorld – the largest U.S. crystalline silicon solar manufacturer for 40 years, with well over 1 gigawatts of annual production capacity to its name – announced today that the company and Panasonic Eco Solutions in North America (Panasonic) have signed an agreement for SolarWorld to supply 65 megawatts of the company's high-efficiency, 72-cell solar panels for a portfolio of individual projects that will total 65 MW planned in remote southeast Oregon. The contract, to be fulfilled in 2016, encompasses the largest project supply order in the company's history.
Terms of the agreement were reached at Solar Power International, the largest annual solar-industry trade show in the Americas, this month at the Anaheim (Calif.) Convention Center. Panasonic will construct, operate and maintain the facilities in a Malheur County Rural Renewable Energy Development Zone. The portfolio is owned by Coronal Group LLC, which developed the projects within the Coronal-Panasonic platform.
"This agreement once again demonstrates the value that SolarWorld's technology holds for owner-operators who depend on the enduring reliability and performance of its products," said Ardes Johnson, U.S. vice president for sales and marketing of SolarWorld. "As a major world producer with headquarters for the Americas located in Oregon, our success in securing this agreement shows that we are fulfilling Oregon's faith in our company to compete on value amid fierce international competition while growing the Oregon economy."
The agreement comes in the 40th anniversary of the company's U.S. industrial lineage. As a group of companies, SolarWorld has supplied a 50-megawatt contract at an undisclosed location in Central Asia. In the Americas, the company supplied a 33-megawatt project in southeast Ontario, Canada. Moreover, SolarWorld is actively delivering solar panels for multiple large projects across the United States.
SolarWorld Americas Inc., the largest U.S. crystalline-silicon solar manufacturer for more than 42 years, produces and sells high-tech solar power solutions and, in doing so, contributes to a cleaner energy supply throughout the Americas. The company maintains 430 megawatts of annual capacity to produce solar cells and 550 MW of capacity to manufacture solar modules. The company's brand stands for a proven track record of quality and reliability, and SolarWorld is the only producer whose industrial lineage has outlived its products' 25- and 30-year performance guarantees. SolarWorld upholds high social standards and commits itself to resource- and energy-efficient production. With its program Solar2World, the company supports the expansion of solar power in developing countries in Latin America.

Patriarchy manifests itself as the oldest universal oppression felt by women – reaching across class, racial and national lines through varying degrees. October is designated as "Domestic Violence Awareness Month" nationwide. Domestic violence affects women and children, as well as men. However, the brunt of domestic violence is felt by women at a much higher rate.1
Patriarchal violence is not something that can be reformed; it has a history reaching back thousands of years, and is now repackaged and reproduced by capitalist society on a psycho-ideological level as well as a physical one. Whether it is through emotional or physical abuse, the feminization/pinkification of certain industries, gender roles, sexual harassment, restrictions on women's health or the gender wage gap, the intersections of institutional and societal sexism, racism, queerphobia, transphobia and xenophobia all serve to amplify, and often justify, the atrocities perpetuated by a patriarchal system. All these issues together play as an act of violence against women, and they are fundamental to maintaining the structures that support modern day late-capitalism.

Many motorists in California and across the country may be vindicated by new evidence that reveals defective cars were responsible for accidents that led to driver convictions. According to a recent report, a growing number of wrongfully convicted drviers are expected to file suit against General Motors, Toyota and other vehicle manufacturers.

Signs of whiplash after an accident
While seeking treatment after sustaining injuries in a car accident is important, some injuries might not be immediately evident when one is first evaluated by a medical professional. California residents might have some familiarity with the term whiplash but may not know that this injury can start causing problems in the days following a crash.

I'll post each of the eight fan fiction entries, one a day, and then on August 15th we'll vote on our favorites! (Voting will be anonymous – no one will know who you voted for!)
Today we have a cross over between the Amaranthine series and… well…whatever she decided to name it:
World's Collide by Julie Arlene
Dominique refused to let them break her. They may have won the battle, the war even, but they wouldn't see her flinch. They'd taken her best friends, her army, and her victory, but they wouldn't take her pride.
The redheaded bitch sighed. "Dominique, don't make us do this."
"That's Mistress Dominique to you, wench." Her name was Keera, but Dominique refused to dignify her with a name.
"Very well. If that's the way it's going to be." The bitch turned to the Dragonborns, "Do it."
A rush of energy filled the plaza and a portal opened up behind her. The high born dancer stepped forward and cut the ties to Dominique's wrists. She paused, and a wicked smile crossed her face, "This is for Katja." With a swift move she drove the stiletto into Dominique's shoulder and twisted, hard.
The redheaded bitch had someone else to be upset with now. How darling. Dominique
laughed through the pain. "What a lovely parting gift. You have my blood now. I'll be back."
With that, she turned and stepped into the portal, choosing to go on her terms rather than be forced. The portal closed behind her and she hurtled forward through the blackness.
Red hair glinted in the moonlight. A lithe figure slipped handily through the trees. Some thought forests were creepy at night, but Verchiel didn't mind. Vampire status had some perks – and some drawbacks. He couldn't remember what sunlight felt like. Moonlight did just fine though.
He was hoping Jorick and Katelina hadn't returned from their honeymoon yet. He needed some more time to deliver the perfect "gift". The bag in his hand wiggled. Jorick would be so upset and Katelina would be thrilled – he hoped. It was perfect. Annoy Jorick with both the gift AND the fact that Katelina would love it. Absolutely perfect.
A tremor gently rocked the ground under his feet. He was in Florida. There weren't supposed to be earthquakes in Florida. The tremor became stronger, the intensity causing fruit to fall out of the trees. A rush of cold, wet air hit his face with the force of a hurricane and the world went black.
The annoying squawking of an unknown bird species invaded the blackness. Verchiel made a mental note to check what it was and if the blood was any good. Just the sound alone could drive one mad. Moving slowly, he shook his head to clear it. He was on his back, with a wicked headache. The bag! Where was the bag? Easing his head up, he saw it laying under the base of a tree, still tied shut. Stupid weather had better not have killed his surprise.
Verchiel stood, looking around carefully. He had a reputation to maintain after all, and it didn't involve being knocked unconscious by a hurriquake or whatever that weather was. Why Jorick and Katelina wanted a cabin in the middle of a godforsaken swamp, he had no idea. It did make the surprise more fun though. They wouldn't expect someone to come all the way out here and drop something off.
He gingerly picked up the bag, and smiled when it jerked and yowled. Good. It was still alive. He checked his surroundings one more time, and turned back toward the cabin. A few steps and he came to a dead halt. The warm, intoxicating smell of human blood hit him with a force not unlike the hurriquake from minutes earlier. This was no ordinary human blood. This was old.
Too old. And different somehow.
Verchiel turned off the path and followed his nose, the smell becoming more intense and
intoxicating with each footfall. Definitely human. Definitely alive. Definitely old. Too, too old. It felt like the wrong century kind of old. That made no sense. There was something else he couldn't place. It was just not quite right.
He ducked under a heavy bough and leapt gracefully (he thought) over a downed tree and stopped short. A small, fresh crater was blown out of the soft earth. In the center, a petite, curvy brunette lay unconscious, blood seeping from a deep wound in her left shoulder. She was wearing some sort of a clingy, iridescent silver gown that was somehow still pristine.
Verchiel shook his head. He could puzzle over the mysterious gown later. For now, he needed to get that warm, curvy body somewhere safe. He now had a live sack and a live human to deal with. On top of that, all this warm, live blood was making him hungry. This was going to be a long night.
Sighing, he scooped the poor waif up into his arms, and increased his speed toward Jorick and Katelina's cabin. He wasn't quite sure what he was going to do with her, but he couldn't leave her for dead. Not because he was softhearted. He scoffed slightly to himself. No, it was definitely because one couldn't let something that gorgeous bleed out. If she was going to die, she was coming back as a vampire. Something this beautiful had to be preserved.
He rounded the last bend and found himself in front of the cabin. Hopefully Katelina had
something other than white sheets and towels. He was going to need to do some serious
clean up.
The brunette in his arms stirred slightly. The bag had gone from wiggling to struggling with a vengeance. He felt like a juggler in a three ring circus. This was not working. Verchiel set the bag down on the stoop with a small thud and attempted to gracefully shift the brunette over his shoulder. As he picked Jorick's lock, he mused that it probably looked a bit more like tossing a sack of potatoes over his shoulder and then standing on one leg trying to keep his balance. Jorick might even crack a smile if he could see this. Maybe, but not likely. More likely was going to be Jorick's resolve to kill him after he discovered Verchiel had turned his sanctuary into a rescue hospital for some damsel in distress. Even more likely was the probability that resolve would increase when he found the wedding present Verchiel had procured for Katelina.
Someday Jorick would appreciate his taste in the finer things in life. Or he wouldn't. Either way, Verchiel was having too much fun to stop now.
Stepping into the cabin, Verchiel headed straight for the linen closet and found a practical denim quilt. Tossing it over the overstuffed plaid couch, he deposited the brunette on top.
Returning to the porch, he acquired the bag and took it straight to the small bedroom at the back of the cabin. He pulled a rather adorable sand filled box and tin of tuna fish out of his backpack. He opened the tuna and set it near the box, then opened the bag. A rather pissed off looking kitten exited the bag and skidded to a halt. He looked up at Verchiel and hissed. Verchiel shook his head in amusement. He'd rescued the damn thing from drowning. You'd think he'd be a little more grateful. The little beast shook his fur out and glanced around the room. The tin of tuna drew him like a beacon. Katelina was going to have way too much fun with this little bugger. Verchiel exited the room, shutting the door behind him. Time to deal with the unexpected guest.
The brunette shifted slightly at his touch, mumbling something unintelligible. Verchiel decided to take that as a good sign. At least she was still alive. Verchiel examined the wound in her shoulder. It was deep. Looked like there was some damage to the muscles and ligaments. Not that he was a medical doctor or knew what he was doing, but this didn't look good. He hoped she was right handed and wouldn't mind drinking a little vampire blood. He didn't know of any other hope for that arm unless he took her to a human hospital and that would be hard to explain. Then again, establishing a connection with an unconscious human who couldn't consent was also hard to explain. Shaking his head, Verchiel decided the risk was worth the reward. Maybe she'd be grateful. He raided the medicine cabinet for wound packing supplies.
Gauze, wound cleaner, antiseptic and adhesive wrap were in ample supply. Returning to the couch, he nicked his wrist with his pocket knife and forced a little blood down her throat, careful not to choke her. He then cleaned and bandaged the shoulder the best he could.
Covering her with a warm blanket, he stood and took full survey of the cabin for the first time. It was cozy, he decided. A fireplace was centered on the main living room wall and was flanked by huge bookcases. Leather bound tomes filled the shelves. Jorick did love his old books. The overstuffed furniture was an ugly shade of plaid, but comfortable to sink into. The kitchen was minimal. Not like they needed much. A hallway lead down to the bedrooms, a large master suite with a gorgeous soaker tub, and a smaller guest room, where Katelina's surprise awaited her.
He preferred more opulent settings, but this seemed like it would suit Jorick and Katelina just fine. They liked quiet and simple. And this was certainly hard enough to find to ease Jorick's paranoia. Verchiel figured most Executioners wouldn't venture out here to find someone. Especially given the appalling lack of cell phone service. He couldn't even get enough signal to download the updates for Angry Birds. The lack of amusement wasn't helping his slightly hangry state. He checked the refrigerator, which look suspiciously like someone had raided a blood bank. At least it was well-stocked. He popped the lid off a bottle and chugged it cold.
A moment later he regretted the decision not to heat it. Too late now. At least he wasn't
feeling like eating that gorgeous thing on the couch anymore. At least, not as a food source.
He wandered back in and started a fire in the fireplace. Plopping down in one of the
overstuffed leather chairs, he attempted to relax. Firelight danced over perfectly tanned skin on the couch across from him. Despite his attempt to have good intentions, Verchiel couldn't help but stare. A small, perfectly round freckle, the curve of her cheekbone, the form of her body, that dress. Verchiel found himself lost in thought about who she could possibly be and how she'd landed in a god-forsaken swamp in Florida.
Floating was a unique feeling. Warm, cozy, snuggly. Dominique felt the weight of gravity
pulling her back to reality. Wherever she was, waking up didn't sound like fun. As she felt the world pulling her back down she stretched her arms. Her left shoulder was extremely stiff and a little sore. She couldn't remember why it was a so sore. She tried to sit up but her head was spinning.
"Easy there." A smooth, masculine voice broke into her thoughts.
"Viktor?" Dominique struggled to sit up. "Viktor?! I thought you were dead."
"Slow down sweetheart. I don't know who Viktor is, but you took a pretty good beating before I found you."
A handsome redhead came into focus. Definitely not Viktor. By the Goddess, she missed him.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Verchiel."
"Dominique. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"I assure you, the pleasure is mine."
"How did I get here? And where is… here?"
Dominique looked around at the rustic cabin. A roaring fire lit up a huge rock fireplace. Hewn log walls were covered with gorgeous artwork. Windows were closed up with indoor shutters. What was this place?
"This is my associates' cabin. They are on their honeymoon, and I was dropping by to check on their place – and drop off a wedding gift."
Dominique nodded, "That was kind of you. What exactly is a honeymoon?"
The redhead raised his eyebrows, "A trip you take after your wedding to celebrate."
"Oh. So where am I, what part of the Continent am I on?"
A small smirk crossed his face. "Dollface, you're in Florida."
"Florida. One of the 50 United States of America."
"The what?"
"Where are you from?"
"Clearly not here."
"What year was it where you were?"
Dominique's confusion was growing by the second, "Why does that matter?"
"Just humor me, Dollface."
"1853, the Age of the SunDragon."
"It's 2015 here."
"What age?"
Verchiel laughed. "There aren't ages anymore."
"What are you talking about?"
"You time travelled, Dollface. Whatever that hurriquake was you caused, somehow, you time travelled."
"Time travelled? Hurriquake? What is a hurriquake?"
"Whatever got you here shook, rained and crashed down like the biggest combination of an earthquake and hurricane I've ever seen."
"I don't know what that is, but I can explain the phenomenon. It was a banishment portal, created by the Dragonborn."
The eyebrow quirked again. "Now I'm the one who is confused. It seems you not only came from another time, but possibly another dimension, if that's possible."
"This is a lot to take in."
"That I can understand. So, what happened to bring you here?"
Dominique sighed. "That's a very long, complicated tale. That you likely wouldn't believe.
Dragons, mages, wars."
"Dragons? That's intriguing. Are you a mage?"
Dominique snorted. "Absolutely not. I am an elemental witch. A chemist really."
"A witch. That explains a lot."
"Such as?"
"Well, in the interest of full disclosure. I'm a vampire. And your blood smells funny. Also, I may have had you drink some of my blood, so you wouldn't die. So now your a witch with vampire blood in you, and I'm not really sure how that will affect you."
Dominique tamped down the instinctive anger. "You did what?"
"Let's focus on you for a moment here," the charming smile was back.
Dominique shook her head. "I suppose what is done is done. At least it didn't kill me."
Verchiel smiled, "I appreciate your understanding. So, why don't you tell me that complicated story of yours."
"I don't know where to begin."
"The beginning is always a good place."
Dominique sighed and nodded, "It started with a prophecy…"
Verchiel grinned wryly as he leaned back and settled in. "Doesn't it always."
~~~~Dominique's Story is Continued in Book One… of whatever I'm naming my series!~~~~

An ambitious attempt to create an aesthetically pleasing photograph everyday for a year. Documenting commonplace life can be mundane, so inspiration will be essential to find beauty in the ordinary. by Julie Grace

Some of us are not lucky enough to work on the things we love. Maybe they're stuck in a dead end job with no future, maybe they work for the things they hate, or maybe they just don't like the situation or the people.
Working for something we don't love tend to get exhausting, with a big risk for catching negativity. Most cases, those negativity turns into a form of whining, complaining, or unpleasant gossip. And it usually followed with the drop in productivity and efficiency.
In my point of view, there's no point in whining or complaining if it can't change anything. Let's see : If you hate your job, If you don't like your boss. Just quit. Plain and simple. If you think you haven't been appreciated enough, then show them that you're valuable. If you want a promotion, prove that you're worth the position. Complaining about things is only acceptable when there's nothing else you can do, but say it directly to all people involved. Talking behind someone's back is meaningless. You'll get nothing but a little bit of negative-satisfaction.
Bottom line is, if you don't like something then change it. If you can't do that better find another job. Can't do both? Work harder and smarter. Spend time effectively so that you'll have spare time to do things that you love.
whining won't benefits you. doing something productive is.

'My life's not interesting enough'
Diksha Basu on why her first book began as a story about her struggle in Bollywood before turning fiction.books Updated: Jan 08, 2012 14:57 IST
Hindustan Times
Unlike most authors, writing didn't come naturally to Diksha Basu. She studied economics, just like father Kaushik Basu, the country's Chief Economic Adviser.Then she shunned the subject to move to Mumbai from New York for an acting career. But four years, two plays, an English film and a TV show later, she finds herself working as a full-time author and enjoying every minute of it.
Basu's debut novel, Opening Night, is being launched today. The book based on a young woman from the US, who moves to Mumbai to try and make it as an actor in Bollywood may well be mistaken as an account of her own life.
Is it autobiographical, then? "No," laughs Basu, who had moved from upstate New York to Bandra for four years, looking to explore a career in theatre.
"Like all books, it did start off based on me, but when I realised my own life wasn't interesting enough to document, even though I'd hoped it was, it started to become fiction."
Prod her further and she reveals, "This girl is quite naive and unaware of how India has changed over the past 10-15 years. She's quite American in her ways despite being Indian. She comes here to act, determined not to fall into clichés, or in love, or any of those typical things. She's looking for fame and fortune. Although she falls in love with a neurotic ex-model, the story is mainly about her search for a career."
She refers to her interest in writing as something she stumbled upon.
She recalls, "I was getting frustrated with acting and went through the typical questions. Then suddenly, within two years of being in Mumbai, I had started writing bits and pieces, a couple of newspaper articles, some short pieces about my experiences in Mumbai, and that's when my interest started to turn. I found it to be an escape, although I don't think I was very good at it initially."
But Basu, who's already working on her second book, assures us this is her full-time career now. Her days of acting are behind her.
Ask if we might ever see the book translated to film and she replies instantly, "Yes, I'd love to be involved with screenwriting for it, but I think I'm done with acting."
Opening Night is published by Harper Collins. It will be launched by author Chetan Bhagat today at 12.30 pm at Crossword, Juhu.

Between them Jimmy and Colin Gilbert have delivered some of our best loved and most durable comedy shows spanning over five decades. From The Two Ronnies to Rab C Nesbitt, Last of the Summer Wine to Naked Video, they have left an indelible mark on the Scottish and British comedy scene. Both have served as Head of Comedy at the BBC in London and Glasgow respectively and had similar careers at very different times in the British comedy scene. Now on the back of an incredible 10th series of Rab C Nesbitt, Colin Gilbert and his father Jimmy talk for the first time about their fascinating comedy careers that have their roots firmly in Scotland.
At the start of their respective careers Jimmy left Scotland in the late 50's to go to England to start life as a Producer, while twenty years later Colin made the journey in the opposite direction, leaving England to come to Scotland to establish himself as a producer. This show looks at both of their respective careers and offers a fascinating insight into the creation of some of British TV's most loved comedies, including The Frost Report, The Two Ronnies, Porridge, Open All Hours, Fawlty Towers, Naked Video, City Lights, Rab C Nesbitt, Chewing The Fat and Still Game.
In a notoriously fickle business both enjoyed consistently successful careers spanning over 50 years. Both served as Heads of Comedy at the BBC, Jimmy in London from 1973 - 1977 and Colin in Glasgow from 1983 to 1995. And both went on to develop highly successful careers in the comedy business after they left the BBC.
This unique insight from two of comedy's finest practitioners will also look at how radio served them both well in their respective careers as they searched and developed writers and future comedy hits.
Comedy producer Jimmy Gilbert and Colin Gilbert look back on 50 years of comedy hits.

Jeffrey's dad Tony came to visit our class this week for Intercultural Week. He told us all about India – the area he is from, the food they eat, the coconut juice that they drink and lots of information about the elephant festival – Thrissur Pooram.
Elephants are very important animals in India. In the Thrissur Pooram festival, the elephants are painted with beautiful colours and decorations and they look amazing. The people who paint them, train the elephants from when they are very young, so that they sit very still. The female elephants also get their toe nails painted 😉
We learned loads of exciting things about India!

So...I know that I promised and everything, but Frenzy has just been given a very excellent review by the lovely Andrew Richardson.
"[Frenzy] is true horror, but anyone looking at the cover and expecting to see the thrust of the story being the characters bloodied and devoured by sharks and other marine nasties is going to be disappointed. Or perhaps pleased, because although big fish add to the effect, this story takes you into the true fears lurking in the recesses of the characters.
Johnstone has put together a mishmash of people, cleverly using characters who play off each other to increase the tension...The story pulls no punches in playing on the character's relationships. It is very raw and maybe near to the knuckle in places, a feeling helped by the stark writing style and the decent pacing.
All in all, this doesn't read like a first stand-alone release. Frenzy is a mature-looking work from a writer who clearly enjoys the craft and who hits the keyboard with confidence."

Why FunRunTime?
$$$ - Show me the money
FunRunTime consistently raises 75% more money than product-sale fundraisers on average. Unlike our competitors, our program's design yields consistent financial results year after year. Schools turn to FunRunTime from other Fun Run competitors to 'rebrand' their Fun Run event bringing increased revenues in total amount collected, a higher percentage kept by the school, and happier parents. Organizations partnered with FunRunTime are keeping up to 90% of the collected donations.
FunRunTime Fun Run is designed to keep the hassles off the schools and parent organizations. Our team members are critical thinkers with tons of energy. We manage the event from prep meetings through collecting the donations. We are continually working closely with schools and parent organizations to produce strong communication and promotion strategies. We provide a team on campus for the entire 8 school-day event to manage, lead and organize the daily details and responsibilities. FunRunTime also provides off-site managers that are not busy with the daily details of multiple events. They are actively serving your organization to bring solutions before issues arise.
FitCharacter Program
Our FitCharacter program brings Fitness and Character building together using FUN as the glue. FunRunTime wants each and every student to know that Fitness is FUN. Fitness can shape your day, fuel your day and give you more days. FunRunTime wants each and every student to know which character traits and habits formed bring healthy relationships, positive attitudes, and worthwhile rewards. Our team members are full of energy and life. We take the time to find individuals who are passionate about being a role model of Fitness, Character building, and FUN.
Includes all students
FunRunTime Fun Run includes the entire student body in the entire program whether or not financial pledges are given. Our approach to the students is not 'prize-centric'. Our approach is focused on the experience and team-environment created by FunRunTime and FitCharacter curriculum. This provides a healthy motivation the students and parents want to move-on.
FunRunTime's entire 8 school-day event has your student-body talking about the FitCharacter initiative and having Tons of Fun. It brings families to the campus to cheer on their students in the Fun Run day. Teachers and administrators come together to decorate their classrooms and encourage their students around fitness and supporting their school/organization. The local team comes back to the school campus away from the Fun Run fundraiser to promote other FitCharacter initiatives and keep the relationships alive.

Seasoned Tour de France campaigner Stuart O'Grady has rubber-stamped his departure from Saxo Bank by signing with the Luxembourg Cycling Project being led by Schleck brothers Andy and Frank.
The Schlecks caused a minor upset recently by quitting Saxo Bank, owned and managed by former Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis, and many of their former teammates have followed suit.
O'Grady, a former winner of the gruelling Paris-Roubaix one-day classic, has also been instrumental in Saxo Bank's successes on the Tour de France in recent years, displaying leadership qualities in his role as road captain.
His experience on the world's biggest bike race, in which the younger of the Schleck siblings, Andy, has finished runner-up the past two years, is highly-valued.
"Stuart is a real legend and probably among the most phenomenal athletes of his generation," the new team's general manager Brian Nygaard said. "He has won everything worth winning on the track, as well as an impressive list of victories on the road, topped off by claiming one of the most beautiful recent editions of the Paris-Roubaix."
"I enjoy the challenge of being road captain," O'Grady explained.
"It is not as easy as it sounds. I have to use my knowledge, to keep the 'young guns' cool, calm and collected when the going gets tough. I remind the guys to work as a team, to support each other, to respect each other, and to give 100 percent."
Though O'Grady will be entering his 17th year as a professional, he still has personal ambitions.
"Personally I want to have another big classics season," he revealed. "I have been a bit unlucky with injuries and broken bones since winning Roubaix in 2007. So it would be nice to win some big races with the team and of course help the Schlecks win the Tour de France!"
The Luxembourg Pro Cycling Project has recently signed several top names, including German trio Linus Gerdemann, Fabian Wegmann and Jens Voigt and Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang.
Italian sprinter Daniele Bennati has also joined.
Andy Schleck is likely to start the 2011 Tour de France as one of the big favourites, having finished runner-up to Spaniard Alberto Contador in 2009 and 2010.
Contador is currently provisionally suspended and awaiting word on a possible sanction after testing positive, during the 2010 race, for trace amounts of the banned weight loss/muscle building drug clenbuterol.
Michael Rogers signs with Team Sky
Australia's Michael Rogers has ended a successful five-year spell with HTC-Columbia by signing for British outfit Team Sky.
The 30-year-old from Canberra, a three-time world time trial champion, brings a wealth of stage-racing experience as a veteran of nine Grand Tours.
Sports director Sean Yates is delighted to have Rogers on board and feels he can be a great role model for the younger riders on the team.
He said: "Michael is a consummate professional and great addition to the team. He has proven himself in big races right throughout his career and that experience will be an invaluable asset to us.
"He takes his job as a bike rider seriously and the younger guys in the team will be able to learn a lot from him."
Early in his career Rogers was tipped as a possible challenger for the Tour de France yellow jersey, but after years of frustration, the Australian said after this year's race he had virtually given up on that ambition.
Instead, Rogers said he would look to focus on winning one-week stage races. He was the first non-American to win the Tour of California, earlier this year, and has in the past won the Tour of Germany, Belgium and the Route du Sud.
Rogers is excited to begin this new chapter of his career at Team Sky and has no qualms about taking a central role within the squad.
He said: "I like the direction and general outlook of the team and am delighted to be here. Having ridden against them this year it was clear to see the team were learning and improving all the time and I expect that to continue next season.
"I've been lucky enough to ride with some great riders in the past and have learned a lot from them. If they want me to, I am more than happy to pass some of that experience along and I will do whatever I can to help the team's progression."
Rogers is the fourth Australian on the Team Sky roster and his move follows those of Davide Appollonio, Alex Dowsett, Jeremy Hunt, Rigoberto Uran and Xabier Zandio.

Wow. What a year! We've been blessed with great clients, non-stop inspiration and so much to look forward to in 2018. But first, some of Team LED's favorites of 2017.

Wow. What a year! We've been blessed with great clients, non-stop inspiration and so much to look forward to in 2018. But first, some of Team LED's favorites of 2017.
Some of our favorite design trends of 2017:
This year's Las Vegas Summer Market was full of fantastic moments that made team LED stop and take it all in. We thought it would be fun to share with you our top 10 Market moments of shock and awe, so that you can look out for these stunning pieces in future designs!
We're grateful we attended High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina last week! We hope that you can live vicariously through our team here at All Por Ju as we bring to you highlights of the trip and share some amazing vendors we spent some QT with.
We've talked a lot about color this year! From our Feng Shui tips on our Instagram #AskAPJ posts, to our forecast about trendsetting colors for the upcoming seasons. As usual, we got yo' back APJ readers! We're going to make it easy for you, here's a refresher course:
I spent my Memorial Day different than most, instead of pool parties and BBQs I had the opportunity of visiting Nicole Taylor Sharp and Mark Weinberger on their talk radio show, Spotlight on Vegas Business. What an experience it was! Upon arrival I met a few other local business owners… Dave Olesczuk from Fitbody Bootcamp, Lia from Belia Beauty and Skin Care (such a sweetheart, she donates her time and services to Cancer patients…my Mom will be seeing her soon for an oncology facial!) and finally Ruth Furman of Imagewords, a PR Queen and friend of mine.
During my interview with Nicole and Mark on SPOTLIGHT ON VEGAS BUSINESS, I gave some tips on how to add interest to your home with the first day of summer officially approaching next month. I promised some really great pieces and here they are without further ado…. plus a few more items I'd love to add to my home décor.
A few weeks ago I attended the largest furniture show around, High Point Market in North Carolina. It was a trip full of information, growth and networking! I managed to snap over 140 images from my phone in the one day that Amber and I dedicated to seeing what was new and exciting in the world of interior design and décor. I've curated the best of the best for you and I'm sharing them over the course of a few different blogs. If you haven't had the chance to read Part 1, get caught up HERE.
I just returned from an amazing trip, I experienced many "firsts" during my travels! My first visit to the state of North Carolina, my first experience at High Point Market, my first mastermind coaching event with one hell of a business woman Terri Taylor (stay tuned for a future post on her and the fearless team she leads), my first time meeting the one and only … K E L L Y W E A R S T L E R ! Need I say more???! I'm still on cloud 9 a week later!
If I'm ever lacking creativity or need a rush of artistic insight, beauty tips, a fashion update, and pretty much anything under the sun… I look to Pinterest. It's my go-to site and houses over 5,000 ideas I've collected since joining. I love the fact that I can easily organize projects, have the ability to "hide" ideas and sources with those sneaky secret boards, as well as share links with friends, family, and even my clients. No matter how busy my week has been, I always fit Pinterest into my schedule. Here are some of my latest pins.

Robert B. Parker died in 2010 but his stories and characters live on with authors Reed Farrel Coleman and Robert Knott. Parker's Western series is now being written by Knott with his latest, The Bridge, the third installment.
The plot brings back the characters Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch to Appaloosa. After a sheriff and his deputies go missing territorial Marshals Cole and Hitch are asked to investigate the bombing of a railway bridge under construction that spans a gorge in the Rio Blanco River. What follows is a 'who done it' and 'who might profit from the bridge being blown up?'
It is always interesting to understand the motivations for continuing a series once the author has passed away. Knott noted, "I never wrote with Parker, but met him when I adapted the western novel, Appaloosa, for a feature film in 2007. I wrote the screenplay with Ed Harris who starred in it. I tried to maintain the style of Robert by writing Parkeresque prose, short chapters, and maintaining the character's attributes. Of course I am not Robert Parker so at the end of the day these are my stories."
Knott does not feel he is a "rookie" to the western style since he grew up in Oklahoma and has acted in many western films and TV shows. "My grandparents had a folding tent show that followed the wheat harvest, going through the mid-West. I learned the language and the culture of these people. I had hands on experiences when being in shows such as 'Desperado,' the 'Young Rider' series, and 'Wild Bill.'"
His other job, working in the oil fields, also influenced Knott. "My fellow workers helped me to illuminate the world of the West. We would communicate without saying a word. I was able to write this unspoken camaraderie with the characters Cole and Hitch. Both these characters have a code they live by, although Virgil's attitude is 'my way or the highway.' He once told Everett, 'feelings get you killed.' Everett is more sensitive, has more feelings, and is more educated than Virgil."
The author hopes that readers will see this novel as an adventure story where they can escape and get a snapshot of days gone by. He wants people to go on the same journey he does when writing the characters and plots as a crime is solved.

We all have dead ends in our family tree research, lines which seem to end and you can only assume the people appeared on the face of the earth from an UFO. My mother and other family members have worked several of these lines for over 30 years without any luck. I have worked these same family lines for over 20 years without any luck.
One evening this week, I decided I didn't have anything else to do, so I thought I would play with a couple of these family lines. Little did I think I would have any breaks with my dead ends.
One of these lines was Sarah Ann LaFarlick, my great-great-grandmother. Everyone in the family has always told me her maiden name was spelled "LaFarlick." It was even written in the Family Bible with that spelling. I have looked in every book, database, surname list, query page, LDS, or file possible for this surname. No luck. Have you been there to, the frustration of dead ends?
I decided to try the RootsWeb Surname Helper search engine, thinking that someone else might have a similar spelled surname. This website is located at: http://surhelp.rootsweb.com/srchall.html and I selected the option, "Surname and selected soundex equivalents." The first hit was the spelling of a similar surname, "LaFarlett."
Then my world kept spinning! Because for the first time, I had a major break through in researching this family line. I found my cousin; Linda Kay Davis in Ft. Worth who has done research and on her webpage had a photograph of Sarah and her husband, Henry Read Williams and their children, including my great-grandmother, Allie Bama Williams, about age 8 years. I just sat at my computer and cried. Need less to say, I was on the telephone to my newfound cousin within minutes.
And, my luck didn't stop! Next, another great-grandmother, Maude Eva Kinsley DeCamp Baylor had her maiden name spelled as "Kinsley" on her death certificate. Again, my mother and I have looked for years for any scrap of information on Grandma Maude. Using the same technique, I found Maude and her parents, Frank Kinstley and Mary E. Smith. Again, a simple change in spelling brought me an additional three generations! Most importantly, I found another cousin who sent me a copy of a newspaper article, which told me that Frank, who was a Constable in Hairston, Marshall Co., AL was shot and killed in the line of duty in 1913.
So, please take my advice, don't get stuck in a spelling rut. Be creative! Step back and take a new look at things. This simple lesson has had me rethinking every surname I have. I just wish it would work with my common names, which are dead ends, William Johnson, Mary Smith, James Ramsey and Mary Farmer. Oh, well, another night at the computer searching for these dead ends! You just never know what you are going to find on the Internet or by just taking another approach to the problem.
On Saturday, March 11th, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. the Williamson County Genealogical Society will hold their annual seminar at the First United Methodist Church at 1004 N. Mays in Round Rock, Texas.
Global Surname Search, located at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi? search allows you to search an entire country or the entire world for queries related to the surname you select. It also allows you to perform a more extensive county search within the country. All you do is select your country and then enter the surname. If any queries containing your surname exist, they will be listed in Country, State, then County order. If no queries containing your surname exist, try an alternate spelling. Remember, the Global Surname Search only searches those counties or states connected with the Reconnect at RootsWeb.

When (like both of us) you have parents who are separated, Christmas time can be really crazy and super busy! Although we both had very traditional Christmases as children, as we've gotten older we've embraced the changes each year brings!
So... we have 2 households each! Like some of you reading, we have our Mum's house and our Dad's. Both of our parents divorced when we were similar ages (around 9-11 years old), which means we had a good decade of doing Christmas a certain way, and then COMPLETELY different!
When our parents split we had to juggle Christmas and Boxing Day between each parent, and eventually as we got older we ended up seeing our Dads on an evening/weekend 'near' Christmas. As a child this can be quite sad to let go of tradition. For both of us it was quite a similar feeling, we missed the way it used to be.
The thing about being in a relationship with someone who has the same family situation as you, is that Christmas time becomes even more busy! We've gone from spending Christmas with 2 families, to 4! Although it's sometimes tricky to fit everyone in, it's actually something we really love about this time of year...if not our favourite thing! Christmas day feels like it's over and done with so quickly when you get older, so it's nice to do it 4 times!
For the past 10 years, we've only seen each other in the evening on Christmas Day, but this will be the first year that we spend the whole day together! Even though we haven't moved in together, it seems a bit silly that we don't do that yet...so we've made the decision to this year and from now on.
We're looking forward to breaking tradition again this year!

This movie is way to be good to be labelled a sequel to The Godfather . Rather it is more of a companion piece to the original and the two perfectly compliment each other . IT is both a sequel and prequel showing the rise of the young vito and moral decline of Micheal . Both characters are brought to life with uncanny ability by Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino . To say that these two are good actors is like saying that a nuclear bomb makes a loud noise and in this movie they prove why they are at the top of their respective crafts . Al Pacino is the standout in the ensemble cast and its amazing how his eyes have changed from the first part . They are now cold , ruthless and unemotional and betray the price which Micheal Corleone has paid for power . Watch this movie and learn why it is the greatest gangster film of all time.

The Reviews for The Godfather Part II (1974) 720p
To call it a sequel is a travestyReviewed bytaimur74Vote: 10/10
The Godfather Part 2 is the finest sequel ever made and is arguably a finer film than the original Godfather. The film is divided into two main parts - the story of a young Vito Corleone (flawlessly acted by Robert De Niro and a worthy Oscar winner) and the rise to power of Michael as the head of the family. Francis Coppola recollaborated with many of the crew members of the first film and again achieves a quite superb period piece thanks to the cinematography of Gordon Willis and set design of Dean Tavoularis. The acting performances are outstanding, hence three supporting oscar nominations for acting guru Lee Strasberg (Hyman Roth), Michael Gazzo (Frank Pentangeli) and Robert De Niro (young Vito Corleone). Duvall, Keaton, Cazale and Shire all provided first rate performances but it is the performance of Al Pacino which steals the show, expertly portraying Michael as a cool, calculating, suspicious Don Corleone. The film expands upon the original movie and brings us into the family's activities in Nevada, Florida and Havana. Arguably the finest movie of the 70s, a cinematic masterpiece with the greatest ensemble acting you will probably see.
You can count on one hand the movie sequels that measure up to the original; GODFATHER II makes the cut. This movie is just as fine as GODFATHER I. Here the director goes back and forth between the early days of the young Vito Corleone, played by Robert De Niro, and the family after the action in GODFATHER I in the 1950's just before Castro came to power. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) has moved the family and most of his business to Nevada. Once again the acting is flawless. Diane Keaton as Michael's wife who quickly becomes disillusioned with her life with him and the lies he continues to tell her, assuring her that he is going legitimate soon; Robert Duvall as Michael's adopted brother and adviser; and Lee Strasberg as Hyman Roth all give outstanding performances; but the film really is Al Pacino's. We see him become a ruthless, cold-blooded killer who alienates himself from his family in ways his father would never have done. He has come so far from the idealistic young man in "GODFATHER I, who joined the Marines in World War I to serve his country and die for it if necessary, to a lonely, paranoid tragic man. There are many poignant scenes concerning his wife and children-- the drawing his son leaves for him in his bedroom, the gift that Tom buys the child because Michael is too busy, his wife Kay's being kept a virtual prisoner at his orders in the family compound, etc. Once again many acts of violence are interwoven with religion: Michael's son's first communion, the religious parade in New York, Fredo's repeating the Rosary in order to catch a fish, for example. The cinematography is stunning; the footage from Sicily and New York around the turn of the century and the snow scenes from the American West are beautiful and rich in detail. Mr. Coppola has directed yet another masterpiece.

Gilbraes Chalets
The Area
Why visit the west side of Shetland?
The name Twatt originates from the Old Norse þveit meaning 'small parcel of land'. It is a small
settlement with a population of around 45 and a history in crofting. As time passed and crofting became less profitable, the
community have supplemented their income through varying means and the settlement is now home to a number of family run
businesses.The chalets are surrounded by many of Shetland's most popular trout fishing lochs as well as some of the
most beautiful rolling hills, great for walking. Even on days where the weather makes outdoor activities difficult, the Aith
Leisure Centre is just 2 miles away with fantastic facilities including a sports hall, fitness suite, squash court, swimming
pool, and health suite which anybody is welcome to use. During your stay, be sure to have a look at the local news
paper, The Shetland Times, for information about events in the area. Common events include rowing and sailing regattas; Sunday
teas and concerts.
While in Shetland the weather is always a very important topic of conversation - as it changes frequently. Visitors are
advised to bring warm waterproof clothing even for a summer visit. However, do not let the threat of extreme weather put you
off - wind and waves only serve to dramatise this unique land. The chalets are situated around 1 mile from Bixter
which has a shop, post office, bus stop, doctor's surgery and a garage.
A holiday at Gilbraes Chalets is bound to reward nature lovers due to the abundance of wildlife which thrives in
the area. Around the coast particularly, there is always a wide variety of seabirds and many seals; both of the common and
grey variety. Patience may be rewarded with a glimpse of one of nature's most playful creatures - the otter, or even whales,
dolphins or porpoises.

New Years Eve seems like a good time to reflect on the year gone by, especially as we make resolutions about what we are going to do differently or better next year. The majority of people will be sitting down to make a list of what they hope to achieve, of those people a little over half will not follow through with their resolutions. Most people in fact give up on their resolutions before February. Why is it that we give up so easily? Could it be related to our choice of resolutions? Do we naturally pick things that are simply too hard to follow through with?
In my case my resolutions are generally very vague.
- Write More
- Be Healthy
- Stop comparing
Forgive myself
Ah, that last one, it's been a resolution for a few years. You see I made a bad decision once, who hasn't, and every year since then I have resolved to forgive myself for that decision and while it doesn't haunt me, every once in a while that nagging voice in the back of my head whispers "remember when" and I realize that I still haven't forgiven myself.
Let's back track one, to stop comparing. I do it, we all do it, a friends little boy is reading books already. He is just a few months older than Ben and I cannot help but compare the boys. What am I doing wrong that my six year old isn't reading but another six year is? I did it with walking, talking, potty training, the whole nine yards when I see someone Ben's age I cannot help but compare his achievements to theirs. It doesn't stop with the learning curve though. We compare belongings, homes, work ethic, the list goes on and on. Is it possible to stop comparing? To step back, take a deep breath and say I have the perfect life and it needs no comparing to what others have?
How about be healthy? This one is new this year for me, it didn't seem right to have a resolution of losing weight, instead it seems right to say this year I resolve to be healthy and if weight loss ensues because of my healthy choices then that is wonderful. However simply saying this year I resolve to be healthy may be to vague a resolution to actually achieve it. Will I give up my healthy choices around January sixteenth and continue on my not so healthy track? Weight loss is a tricky subject. So many of us struggle with a desire to lose weight but we miss out on the bigger picture, which is, we didn't gain the weight overnight and so it isn't going to be possible to lose it overnight. Welcome to the world of instant gratification if I cannot have it instantly then chances are I don't want it at all.
This brings us to the beginning of the list, Write More? Write more what, more fiction? More non-fiction? Write for Money? Write for the love of writing simply because I have a story to tell.
My youngest almost always wakes me up at four am, heck I could probably set my clocks by her nursing schedule. She wakes up at four am and so does my writing center. I have some of my best ideas at that nursing session or at least in my sleep addled brain I think they are great ideas. Most never see the light of day because in the fog of nursing a six week old I don't want to get up and find a pen and paper to put my thoughts down. I could if I really wanted to access the writing program on my tablet and commit these ideas to that virtual paper but that would mean logging out of Facebook (my late night nursing home) and writing the ideas down before the flee my mind. Is that what I mean by writing more? Could I multi-task my writing and nursing time? I sure wouldn't want to be made fun of the way Gisele Bundchen was multi-tasking nursing while preparing for a photo shoot. There I go again comparing, my choices to that of another nursing Mom who also works. It's not even January first and I am faltering on my list of resolutions, I haven't figured out what Write More means and I am comparing my abilities to that of someone else.
