Le Colonel Neville s'habille Tojours Pour le Diner. Semper Fi. Thomas Sowell: "There are three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left. The first is compared to what? The second is at what cost and the third is what hard evidence do you have?" Live free or die or both. Satirical empirical conservative. No, really.

Islamisation is here now. Clinton and the MSM massively lied about Kosovo while delivering it to global jihadist mujahedeen and narco-state gangsters.
And they'll do the same to us. Above is the 10,000 Muslim Jihadist psychopaths of the Boznia Zenica El Mujahadeen Unit. Their motto is "Our path is Jihad." Catchy. AND these are just a fraction of the kinds of freaks that NATO and the West helped to build an er, "independent" narco Islamic state of Kosovo. Go figure.
Yep, there IS a continuing mass murder of Bosnian Christian Serbs and many other minorities in the Balkans, including Gypsies other Albanians and Muslims by often Muslims. And as per usual they all feed off drugs, crime, jihad and the phony U.N cover of legitimacy. Guess whose coming to dinner? And all this is spreading through the EU, and the West. Ah, the infecting vampire of an Islamic state in Eurabia.
Islam is no longer just "over there", but is EVERYWHERE and GROWING rapidly just like The Day Of The Dead. Islam is next door to me and you. No, really. And we all know how Jim Dandy Islamisation has worked out for people all over the world.
Where is Islam and lotsa Muslims not a wonderful success? People love it! How do we know? Because their governments, media and education system says they do, silly. Read Stealth Jihad by Robert Spencer and see politicalislam com
Dear sports, I've put off presenting the massive Himalaya of complicated beyond belief, calculating to raving evil and insanity that is the Balkans for a long time, cos it's all so hideously connected and impossibly difficult. It takes a damn long time to even sift through much of it. And Milosovic was a Commie dictator, so not a lot of laughs there.
Let me say that if there was no Islam in Eastern Europe, the home of bad taste knick knacks and appalling pop music, there would likely be little to no fighting there. Or in the 95% of the world experiencing similiar conflict. Go figure.
Jihadists poured into Bosnia from Egypt, Pakistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and everywhere to destroy and murder non-Muslims and anyone else they felt like and NATO, the U.N and the West under Clinton helped them. And Muslim killers still do mass there. These are terrible facts that can be proven not just with the historical record, but by the situation as it is NOW, what is happening NOW and what is planned...
The Arabisation of Africa.
"We Will Islamize America and Arabize Africa."Dr Hassan Abdallah Turabi from Darfur, Sudan.
It was Turabi, who exercised power in the first half of current Sudan President Bashir's rule, who pursued a deliberate policy of implanting Islam in north America, whilst Arabization was spearheaded in Africa.
It was Turabi who sent some two thousand post-graduate northern Sudanese students to the US with instructions to form friendships with African Americans. Many of these graduates are now in the public service of Sudan.
As it happens, the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Farrakhan in the USA, grouping Black Muslims in north America, has pursued a policy of support for the Khartoum regime, having taken material assistance from Khartoum.
Farrakhan has gone so far as to say there is no slavery in Sudan, opposing the Writ issue against Bashir. This has affected African-American understanding and concerns about matters in Sudan. So that those demonstrating in the US against genocide in Darfur have been noticeably white.
In Africa, Arabization proceeds apace and now endangers African overall security. This we see in Somalia, where Sharia Law is being introduced."
Anyhoo, I digress and will for the necessary and vast background. Now you may find this massive freight train of jihadist and other Euro-Mafioso stripes interesting. See if yo can spot the common denominator! Yes, it's their shoes! None are wearing Florsheim two-tones!
Fort Dix Six were Albanian Kosovo jihadists, the same people that are waging a large scale and determined jihad for a completely Islamised Kosovo and Balkans etc, and right under the watch of the evil bankrupt U.N. and the media.
Kosovo is a crazy scene that see's all ethnic minorities liquidated, from Gypsies to even Muslims. Yep, it's complicated insanity. They are after all ultra-nationalist racists high on mountains of drugs ca$h.
Strip it down to this. Albania is infected with Islamic jihad and super nationalist gangsterism. Like Commies, they use those they can and mass murder the rest. Their goal is a Greater Albania and an Islamic one, and have the same claims towards parts of Greece, Montenegro and Macedonia and remember: the only limit to the global caliphate is the entire world under Islam.
Outstanding French speaker on Kosovo etc, with English subtitles. The Serbian dilemma is that 80% of the worlds heroin trade goes through the Islamic narco project state of Kosovo, and that the world is uninterested in Serbs. In Sicily, Albanians are a major part of the Mafia network. Dig the 70's Turkey connections a la natural violent Leninist Commies and so much more too.
Hamass and PA present a Muslim kindergarten graduation. Awwww. How cute!
Nazi Muslim SS Division. "Great" Nazi doco most likely shown after the cartoons I imagine.
OBSESSION movie excerpt: Islam and Nazism have identical ideology except that Islam is hard to imagine even worse, in countries successfully invaded, body count, apocalyptic nihilist methods and that Islam is still around and doing very well. Golly, and Islam is even aided by our own governments, media and so on. Go figure.
"New South Wales Australia: Royal North Shore Hospital has banned crucifixes, Bibles, and other Christian symbols from a chapel when it is not being used for services. The chapel contains a separate Muslim prayer room."
Nato's illegal war against Serbia/lies about the Kosovo War Part 1. See how NATO under Clinton, "ran out of targets" in Yugoslava, so they then attacked everything. From "little bridges on a Sunday afternoon", to schools, hospitals, water, electricity, food factories and petroleum refinery's etc.
In one of the many terrible cases NATO jets first knocked out the power of a fully packed passenger train, then returned to destroy it and the people on board. See how NATO's high altitude bombing was an obvious fraud and criminal madness. This is NATO. They do nothing or the shockingly wrong thing. And how British troops forced out Serbian troops from Kosovo, but let in the KLA to do as they please! How the Brits let 800 jeering Albanians stone buses of terrified Serb civilians etc.
See how the U.N backed a war criminal general who as reported in the media committed "a reign of terror" in Croatia, to oversee the er, "protection" of Kosovo! No really.
Dig how the 19 NATO member states stick together. Understand how major events were manufactured by NATO, the media, the Albanians nationalists, Jihadists and Clinton etc. It goes on and on...
John Bolton on how Kosovo will spark Islamic extremism in Europe. Note: Eurabia IS Islamic extremism now.
How Serbs were butchered for their organs by Albanian freaks, apparently for geeks in Turkey.
Bill O'Reilly on Albanian Islamic terrorist anarchy in the USA.
History of Albanian Muslim Nazis.
More Hitler and the Mufti.
Google list under "Kosovo Albanian jihadists."
Kosovo newspaper endorses Nasrallah and Jihad.
"Carol Gilligan became famous in the feminist circles in the 1990s with her powerful analysis of voices: the tenor, choice of words and images used in speech are gender differentiated and that tenor and choice conveys intent and determines outcomes. What one learns from this feminist hypothesis is that voices matter and listening, often taken for granted, is a powerful indicator of intent, personal and social.
If we are to extend this feminist voices hypothesis to the mainstream Kosovo Albanian media and start listening for patterns in tenor, choice of words and images, the emerging intent is radically Islamic, implied and never direct, occurring in the midst of daily devastation of Christian heritage that is occurring in today's Kosovo.
As the imagery of voices, patterned Islam shqiptare, implied and never direct, attempts to hide the Kosovo Albanian anti Western ethical undercurrent, the flirtatious jihadist tenor and imagery indicates rather clearly that independent Kosova would seek to integrate itself within the islamesque orientalist cultural milieu despite overt claims otherwise.
"Albanians got to know about hadith [islamic tradition] since early days of Islam in Albania. The content of the Prophet's (p.b.u.h) traditions has strongly influenced their moral and awareness," writes Dr. Ramiz Zekaj, a professor in Tirana, Albania, and the author of The Development of the Islamic Culture Among Albanians In the XXth Century. Among other things, the work cites an example of a text by Ahmed Kondo that "enlightens in an indirect and direct way the activity of an orientalist for the good of Albanian culture.
...daily destruction of Christian heritage, and it is this simultaneous mix of flirtatious jihadist rhetoric and an ongoing destruction of Christianity that makes any discussion of tolerance mute.
In fact, to Kosovo Albanians, a Westerner and a Kosovo Christian Bishop who requires two armed UN bodyguards to protect him from Kosovo Albanian mob, deserves a discourse on resurrection of islamophobic fascism - Virus Fashizmus.
So, here is what the Islamic world towards which Kosovo Albanians seek to integrate thinks should the solution for Kosovo be: this audio, [Colonel Neville: GO to the link and LISTEN to the audio within the original article. Muslims telling us relentlessly 24/7, what they think and what they are doing and going to do, just like Hitler in Mein Kampf.]
...recorded by a jihadist spiritual speaker Muhammad Jamil - Kosovo Bosnia Lessons We Forgot - should be listened to understand what the long-term implication of an independent, a Muslim dominated Kosovo, will be.
For now, Wahabi mosques in Kosovo, built under the noses of NATO, is the sufficient prerequisite for the Islamic vision of the independent Kosova."
And an Albanian string puller and killer in Washington is a Clinton pal. Gee, big 'effing surprise:
"Bexhet Pacoli, the richest Kosovo Albanian in the world from whose telephone, according to BND findings, a transaction in the amount of two million euros was arranged from a Swiss bank to one in Cyprus in the name of Kosovo special envoy Martti Ahtisaari, openly claims that he is paying 60 people just in Washington who are lobbying for the independence of Kosovo.
"In Washington I am paying a team of 60 people who are lobbying for Kosovo in the administration of President George Bush and in the U.S. Senate and Congress," said Pacoli in a recently published interview. He added that he is also good friends with former U.S. President Bill Clinton."
Psychopaths of the Albanian Kosovo KLA and how NATO er, "soldiers", "didn't notice." How Kosovo Alabanians, [many are gee, Muslims] harvested the organs of Serbs and sent them to Turkey.
You know, that nice Muslim state that want's to add around 70 milion more Muslims to the EU AKA Eurabia. Note the hijab of the woman at the house and the obvious lies she tells to the er, infidel. Taquiyaa is the Koranic doctrine of "deception" to further Islam. The Kosovo regime and culture is riddled with Jihadists and a Jihadist Nazi allied history.
Qemal Minxhosi local deputy in the Albanian of Parliament and local murderous scumbag: "...once again, the truth in evidence. So we are sure that nothing has happened and so, when you are on the side of the right, you are not afraid about that."
Colonel Neville: The U.N mission chose to investigate nothing. Human rights groups call their track record lamentable. I call it dominated by the OIC, the Organisation of Islamic Countries and Communist states et al, and thus the U.N when it is not being the worlds most expensive guilty bystanders, are largely an organised global crime syndicate.
The U.N will never investigate the ex-KLA rulers of Kosovo for "fear of upsetting" them. No, an alleged army that costs billions to run must have as it's first priority never upsetting the mass killers of aggression.
It's amazing the BBC is running this story at all. But they do still manage to avoid mentioning the words Islam or Muslims or Mujahadeen or the term Jihadist takeover. In the Balkans, who sided with the Nazis in WW11? Mostly Muslims and psycho type super nationalists.
Ah, the Serbs have their psychopaths who committed massive crimes too, oh yes they did. But funny innit, how much of what the MSM reported and that NATO said about the Serbs was massively exagerated or just pure bullshit. Why? [ In Part 2, I'll show that NATO, Clinton and the Brits under Tony Blair, backed a bunch of Muslim jihadist killers that they wanted to make out as moderate. As they do...]
Hey, remeber that 95% of global conflicts involve Muslim agression. [And a whole lot of Marxist bedfellow freaks in the rest and supporting the former.]
Hilarious too, how the Balkans is a major front in the Jihadic spread of Islam. I can't stop laughing. Hey, you can trust Clinton and the MSM. Of course ya can. No.
Thus thousand's of Saudi backed Egyptian, Arab, Gazan, Pakistani and Western immigrant Mujahadeen from Britain and Europe, have flooded into the Balkans for decades and still do.
"The man spoke plainly as he explained the horrors he lived through in a Kosovo Liberation Army prison camp 10 years ago. He told me about how he watched people beaten with steel pipes, cut with knives, left for days without food, and shot and killed.
"What can you feel when you see those things?" he said. "It's something that is stuck in my mind for the rest of my life. You cannot do those things to people, not even to animals."
As the man talked, his mother paced nervously in the nearby kitchen. She was panicked and tears were streaming down her face.
"They'll kill him, they'll kill him," she moaned, clutching one of her grandchildren.
But her son persisted. We spent hours in the family's sitting room as our source detailed allegations of possible war crimes by KLA officers in a military camp in the Albanian border town of Kukes.
It was a crucial interview for a delicate story I have been investigating for years.
...mainly Serbs - simply vanished without a trace. There were no demands for ransom, no news of any kind.
I had met sources who spoke vaguely about secret camps in Albania where Kosovo Serbs, Albanians and Roma were interrogated, tortured and in most cases killed. I met another source who agreed to share important details about KLA prison camps.
He said the civilians were Serbs and Roma seized by KLA soldiers and were being hidden away from Nato troops. The source believes the captives were sent across the border to Albania and killed.
...another source spoke of driving trucks packed with shackled prisoners - mainly Serbian civilians from Kosovo - to secret locations in Albania where they were eventually killed. He recalled hearing two of the captives begging to be shot rather than tortured and "cut into pieces".
...It has taken these men 10 years to speak to an outsider about the dark side of the war. They were breaking a code of silence that has held strong in Kosovo. Very few Kosovo Albanians have publicly revealed crimes committed by their own side. And for good reason. Witnesses who have agreed to provide testimony for prosecutions of KLA commanders have faced intimidation and death threats."
End of Part One.

Dear Nimbus Krebbs:
Er, riiight. So it's the return of the son of baloney I see. What evidence is there that you are not an uber-disingenuous and laughably fatuous leftard troll? None whatsoever.
Ah, and I note as per usual, your kind leave no forwarding address to their er, monumental achievements. Big 'effing surprise.
Still you're free to post as I'm free to be amused. Thanks for the laughs.

Dear Nautilus Krabbs:
Looks like you CAN provide evidence of being a leftard troll. Thanks. Bravo and five stars.
You HAVE no question. Here's one for you: tell me all about YOU, your background, achievements, your site and so on...No? Didn't think so. Anonymous on then.
When does posting a phony comment by a creep that has no intention of getting off their ass, mean I have to go and re-post or do anything at all for you?
You are welcome to provide counter evidence for your absurd dhimmi leftard denial alterno world, of an Islamist free happyland of non-Eurabia. Off ya toddle.
That's right, all video, [including by Islamo fascists themselves] journalistic, documentary, film, statistical, law enforcement and military facts and experiences etc, etc, etc are made up. Course it is. We all know that. Where's the studio?
As you said, it's a massive I imagine right wing "conspiracy". Er, no.
Er, rather ironically YOU are positing the laughable conspiracy theory right there, you illogical boob.
Is there any evidence you would not dismiss? Of course not. Fancy that?
Er, I'll take a wild guess and say you have a computer and know how to source information.
I gave a list last time, my little uber-disingenuous laughable fake, and what happened?
Are you seriously saying that the following people and more are "conspiracy theorists" and have been proven as such? You are! Hahahaha. Yeeesh...
Er, when did this discrediting of all these people happen? I must have missed it. Oh I get it, it's cos they upset your pro-Euroweenie leftard mlticulti house of cards...Got it. Nuance.
Robert Spencer has never been shown to be incorrect on a single serious point.
As I recall, Bob and Walid Shoebat, Wafa Sultan, Bat Ye'or, Bruce Bawer, David Horowitz, Norman Podhoretz, Diana West, Jonah Goldberg, Mark Steyn, Melanie Phillips etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, and law enforcement agencies etc, etc, etc were naturally beneath you and say, YOUR fabulous and well known presence, books, articles and achievements...
Oh, you have NOTHING AT ALL out in the marketplace of empirical analysis and ideas?
Ah, you have consistently excellent leftard troll credentials then.
Toodle ooh.

"You HAVE no question." (Colonel Neville)

It's the final week of my Christmas blog series, and I'm so excited for this one! If you read my previous post My Mental Health – Where I'm At, you might remember me saying that one of three things I'd like to have achieved before Christmas was seeing the lights in London. I haven't managed that one *yet* – the idea of getting on a train gives me all kinds of heeby jeebies. I was however treated to a day out in Brighton on Sunday by my boyfriend, who drove us there to polish off our Christmas shopping and yep, to see the lights!
Naturally, it was craaazy busy – Christmas always seems to send people into a shopping frenzy! I'll not lie, I did get myself in a tiz a couple times and I remember feeling like all I wanted was to come home; busy places/lots of people make me anxious AF. My bf is however the best hand holder, & there's something about being with him that makes the world a little less scary. *All the feels*
I really did have the loveliest day. I cracked out my finest Christmas playlist in the car and we shamelessly sang along to the Pogues whilst the rolling green fields passed us by. I love me a road trip.
Surprisingly it really wasn't that cold at all when we arrived! I'd wrapped up like Frosty the Snowman and was walking past people playing volleyball in shorts and vests (I jest you not). We had to park a gazillion miles away – parking closer meant paying £16 for a day ticket and yep…just no.
TIP: Don't wear converses on days when you plan to walk your hiney off. My toes wanted to fall off and die by the time 5pm rolled around. *Buys slipper socks in abundance from Primark*
We walked along the pier (I solemnly swear it was not to buy hot doughnuts…) & had a wander around the little Christmas market stalls – there was cheese, chocolate and candles galore! We then decided to crack on & get the shopping out of the way, so wandered back towards town & decided to take the little back streets which were so pretty!
…& what should we discover by chance on our travels, but Boho Gelato! Now if you watch Zoella on YouTube, you'll know she raves about this place. When I saw it, I squealed! She's always recommending their carrot cake ice cream, and I've been forever curious to try it – and boy did it live up to expectation!
It was genuine gorrrrgeousness in a dinky pot. Absolutely stunning. & the array of flavours! My bf went for the waffle ice cream, and I've never seen anybody eat so quickly. Like ever.
Actual shopping wasn't all that successful. We couldn't find what we wanted for the people we'd needed to buy for, and ended up instead looking around a v busy Lush & MAC (totally my bf's call, obvs) and eating alorra lorra noodles.
By 4pm, it was pretty dark, and the lights were twinkling. Granted, there's not half as much as there are in London, but I was a happy festive bunny. I started lagging behind my bf to take pictures, and soon enough he was telling me to get my bum in gear because it had finally gotten f-f-freezing!
The pier looked amazing. Unfortunately as good as my phone's camera is, it really doesn't do well with night shots, and so I couldn't really do it justice – but take my word for it!
Oh & what would life be without cookies?! We stopped at Ben's Cookies for some white choc chunk goodness and set off for home. I really, really appreciate the days I get to spend with my bf. He's wonderful in every way & sometimes life can get in the way, so I never take for granted the days/hours/moments we get to be together or go on adventures.
Have you been to see any Christmas lights yet?! Where have you been? Let me know in the comments below, & a happy Christmas week to you!!
Til next time…

Touch the Soil News #368
Amid Western economic sanctions against Russia – for its intervention into the Ukraine – Russia decided to fight back economically to the Western World. One of Russia's actions included the stopping of food imports from Europe and other Western nations.
At stake are historical Russian purchases (imports) of foreign food to the tune of almost $44 billion a year. By 2015, Russia had cut those purchases by almost 40 percent. They plan more cuts in the future. Farmers in Europe and other parts are feeling the economic pain of this large market loss.
A recent Bloomberg report found that Russia is working diligently to increase its agricultural operations to fill the gap historically filled by food imports. Leading the effort is Russian agricultural conglomerate – Ros Agro PLc – owned by Russian billionaire Vadim Moshkovich.
The Russian flag, oddly enough, is made up of the same colors as the U.S. flag – red, white and blue. Russia has a population of 145 million (U.S. population is 323 million). Russia's land mass of 6.6 million square miles is roughly 70 percent larger than the U.S. Russia has natural resources to grow its own food.
Other billionaires, who are friends of Russian President Vladimir Putin- including Gennady Timchenko will invest heavily in tomatoes and fruit orchards.
There is a big irony in the Russian effort to raise its own food at the expense of huge market losses to Western nations. Some of the Russian companies doing the agricultural expansion are getting investments and funding from Western Nations. In specifics, Ros Agro Plc has been approved on the London Stock Exchange where funds will be raised. Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch have positive outlooks for investments into Russian agricultural ventures.
Following is a brief video on the Ros Agro Plc agricultural expansion:

Ricoh India will be investing $45.1M to set up a data center and business facilities at its Gandhinagar-based facility in Western India, according to a report on the The Economic Times. This will be the company's third data center in India, after two existing data centers located in Kolkata and Delhi.
"This centre will help us in strengthening our presence here through services like cloud computing and data storage," said company managing director and CEO Manoj Kumarsaid, who noted that the newest data center will be much larger.
One-stop destination
The business facilities will serve as a one-stop destination for Ricoh's IT services division, which will lend its support to help these businesses run their IT operations. The investment will be made over the next two or three years.
Despite its population being one of the largest in the world, India has been comparatively slow in establishing new data centers to meet increasing demand. Part of the reason could be attributed to challenges in infrastructure that the country currently faces.
As we reported earlier, rolling power-cuts are commonplace in parts of India, and even massive-scale power outages that span multiple states are known to happen. Indeed, India President Pranab Mukherjee last year promised around-the-clock power for all by 2022 as one of his administration's policy priorities.
Still, the winds of change are blowing, with IBM launching its second SoftLayer data center and Microsoft opening its Indian data centers in the month of October alone. Amazon Web Services (AWS) too, had announced that it will open an infrastructure hub in India in 2016 – which typically consists of two or more geographically separated data centers.
And we reported in July Thomas Kurian, president of product development at Oracle has said that the company is in discussions with "a lot of local players" to set up a data center in India. While Kurian wouldn't commit to a date, he did note that the setting up of a data center could happen within "a matter of a few months or a year".

I found this cool small island one day when I watching TV, I like the name of it - Tsukishima. It means moon island. How beautiful is that? From the place I live, I can easily access by taking Tobu bus, or you can take underground as well.
Tsukishima is a very cool place that contains very old and traditional Japanese houses, as well as newly modern flats. You can see how traditional and modern things have combined with each other.
The whole man-made island is not that big, you can walk through it maybe in an hour. I like walking around without purpose, you will find lots of interesting things and places. Some parts of Tsukishima still contains Edo period feeling, which is good. But sadly, there are lots of old buildings are under construction will be renewed soon. I found a very stylish warehouse along the riverside, as well as some tiny cafes, shops that own by old generations.
If you plan to visit Tsukiji fish market, then you can visit here in the same day, you just need to cross the river. You can easily find the traditional shopping street on the map outside the station. Tsukishima is in Shitamachi area (下町), and it is popular with Monjayaki (もんじゃ焼き), a kind of food that available in Shitamachi area. So definitely have a try, it might look disgusting, but tastes good, I promise.
If you like places that along to the river or contains traditional touches of Japan, Tsukishima is a must visit places for you. I can't stop myself taking photos of those houses that you can image the stories behind it. Maybe it is an island, so the wind is super strong, compare with central Tokyo, you might need to wear more layers in order to keep warm. If you like explore different places in Tokyo, please follows my Instagram and Twitter to see more photos and life in Japan.

Litigation you might say holds no certainty but uncertainty. From the strategies of your opponent, to the ultimate outcome, the process of litigation is laden with events and decisions over which the participants may have little or no control, and as such it cannot be accurately predicted. Even the costs and amount of attorney fees to be expended cannot be estimated with certainty. This is the nature of litigation. In some cases, a litigant may even be on the hook for its opponent's attorney fees if he loses. When a party is faced with the possibility of paying the attorney fees of the other side, the decision to commence litigation or to defend a lawsuit rather than settling is daunting, possibly to the point of total surrender. Because attorney fees could exceed the amount of the original claim itself, this possibility can be paralyzing.
Of course you don't have to worry about any of this if your attorney has assessed your case as a "slam dunk" or a "guaranteed winner". Unfortunately, like unicorns and the tooth fairy, such things do not exist in the real world. Business owners, along with the assistance of wise counsel, must make a realistic assessment of their litigation exposure and risk of loss: a sober, unvarnished review of the strengths, and yes, the weaknesses too. Studies support this prudent approach, as statistics developed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics have shown that 33% of plaintiffs and 66% of defendants end up on the losing end of their contract disputes at trial. Although Pennsylvania law generally requires that each party in ligation pay their own attorney fees, it is becoming increasingly common for parties to shift the risk of attorney fee costs to the other side by including an attorney fee provision in their contracts.
Now it is possible to insure against the possibility of paying one's opponent's attorney fees in breach of contract lawsuits by purchasing Contract Litigation insurance. This relatively new insurance product may provide just the leverage and confidence necessary to initiate litigation to pursue claims or to defend against dubious claims rather than capitulating under the risk of paying your opponent's attorney fees in the event the court sides with your adversary.
To learn more about Contract Litigation Insurance and its benefits, please contact Tom Williams of Reager & Adler, PC. Tom can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL: Third place was reward for Calhoun's 'special group'
Warriors exceed expectations with another 1A state trophy
NORMAL — The final shot of the prep girls basketball season was taken Saturday night at Redbird Arena.
That basket in the final seconds of the Class 4A state championship game devastated the Edwardsville Tigers, who settled for a state runner-up finish behind Geneva.
A week earlier at Redbird, the Calhoun Warriors ended their season with laughs and smiles after placing third in the Class 1A state tournament. That came one day after the disappointment from an upset defeat to a 10-loss Mendon Unity squad in the semifinals.
"We let one go (in the semis), but I'm still extremely proud of these girls," Calhoun coach Aaron Baalman said after the third-place victory ended the Warriors' season at 28-6. "It's a special group."
The state trip was the third in a row for Calhoun, producing trophies for second, first and third for a program that posted a 92-11 record in that stretch.
The first two state trips were no surprise with a roster top heavy with size and talent. Grace Baalman was the lone holdover with significant varsity experience back for 2017's run back to Redbird.
And the 6-foot-2 senior carried the Warriors while averaging 23 points and 12 rebounds a game. She earned Associated Press Class 1A all-state recognition for the fourth straight year, including first-team status each of the last three.
And Baalman's final basketball game – she will focus on school and softball at Kentucky – yielded a school and state tourney record with 40 points in a 72-51 rout of Elgin Harvest Christian Academy for third place.
Those 40 points – on 16 of 18 shooting from the field and 7 of 10 from the foul line – surpassed Baalman's previous Calhoun record of 38 set earlier in the season. It also established a Class 1A finals single-game scoring record and fell just one-point short of the all-time girls tourney record for any class.
Calhoun's first 2,000-points career scorer, Baalman leaves with 2,479 points, three state trophies and four years without a single loss in WIVC play.
She was reason No. 1 for another party-filled February in Hardin for a girls basketball program that also had senior Jordan Holland and junior Junie Zirkelbach step up to fill prominent roles.
"Grace has paved the way for future Lady Warriors," Aaron Baalman said of his niece. "Junie and Jordan are right there. A lot of girls look up to these girls, I don't know if they know that. I've got two little boys and they run around the house, I'm Grace, I'm Junie, I'm Jordan."
Life in the county may prove easier if the Baalman boys outgrow that phase before reaching middle school, but girls sports are cool in Calhoun after dominant eras in basketball, softball and volleyball.
"It's just a special group and a special run we've had," Aaron Baalman said.
The Warriors' postseason run was highlighted by a sectional regarded as the state's toughest on their home court at Ringhausen Gym in Hardin. State-ranked teams from Lebanon, Winchester and Okawville came to Calhoun with state dreams.
The Warriors, with junior Emily Baalman and sophomore Sophie Lorton completing the starting five, were the sole survivor after taking out No. 1-ranked Lebanon in the semifinals and Okawville before a standing-room only crowd in the championship game. Calhoun then rolled over Goreville by 29 points in the super-sectional at Salem to punch its ticket back to state.
The run ended with a 42-34 state semifinal loss to Unity. It was a bitter disappointment for a team that had made great strides since the season's start.
"At first, we were a huge question mark," Aaron Baalman said. "I kind of thought (against Unity), that question mark came back up. But we walked off Redbird with a win and that's all you can ask for."

Posts filed under 'exploring'
It was time for a short break so over Queen's Birthday weekend we went to South Stradbroke Island which is a small island just off the Gold Coast.
We stayed at Couran Cove the resort on the island. couran.com
The resort was pretty run down, it's 12 years old & the facilities looked it. When we were there the jet ski's were out of action, the restaurant closed for refurbishment & the kids pool heater broken! The pool would have been good for CJ & MC but regardless, we had a really great time together riding the farty old bikes around, playing on the beach & picnicking.
I had read reviews of the resort advising people to take their own food so we took lots of yummy food & mostly made our own tasty meals.
Our room, a one bedroom suite, was clean & in good condition.
The beach was gorgeous & the island was just far enough away to feel like we'd had a break but not too far from home to travel.
When we got off the boat we were glad it was just a short drive home.
Being mid Winter it was very quiet which made it lovely for us, & really 20 degrees isn't really winter like weather!
It was a really great weekend away.

Byron Bay Roady
We hoped our shipping from Dubai would be delivered before Easter, but that was wishful thinking. Rather than sit around an empty house we decided to head down to Byron Bay for a few nights. Leaving it so late to book accommodation we were really lucky that a farm stay in the hinterland had a late cancellation & we were in luck. We left on Friday & instead of heading straight down the coast we decided to take the scenic route! We spent the day driving in the Gold Coast/Northern New South Wales hinterland & it was stunning! We set out towards Springbrook, then down to Murwillimbah & on to Uki cafe for coffee.
A slight wrong turn had us heading towards Nimbin but we soon realised & back-tracked to get on the correct road which took us on a dirt road through a national park over to Mullumbimby. We had lunch at Brunswick Heads, the best felafel pockets from Yami & CJ got some fine fish n chips as he insisted he doesn't like felafel (tired boy).
Byron Bay was just down the road so we picked up some supplies & headed up to the farm. I had a cold & was feeling pretty bad but it had been a day of really magnificent scenery. That night we slept in REAL BEDS! The first time in months.
Saturday morning & my dream of fresh organic eggs came to an end when CJ & A came back from egg collection duty empty handed. CJ exclaiming "The chicken tried to attack A & flapped his wings at him with all his might!" Hmm, avocado on toast it was. Back in the car & off to Bangalow for a coffee stop, this was one of my favourite towns, along with Brunswick Heads. It was quite a drive to the middle of nowhere & the famous Nimbin. We bought a bit of tie-dye but it was a bit tacky really, sort of commercialised & not the cute little hippy town we were expecting. We decided to leave Nimbin & drove back to Byron for lunch & a look at the beach.
Then back to the farm for a bit of boating.
The Easter bunny came on Saturday night so we had chocolate for breakfast (& shop bought organic eggs!). It was strange drizzly weather but we went up to the light house & then to the markets. Talk about market heaven, very much my cup of tea. CJ & MC were both grumbly so we didn't hang around long & headed home ,stopping back at Yami where Cosmo ate loads of felafel.
Happy Easter!

Full Moon Drumming
We headed out to the desert last night to join the full moon drumming circle. As we got closer to the location we ended up in convoy heading into the parking area at the start of the desert. From here 4WD's shuttled everyone into the camp, it was a slightly hairy ride with C&M but we were there in a few minutes. The set up was awesome, down in a hollow there was the drum circle with dance floor behind, traditional Arabic seating around the drumming, an area for food & a bar, real toilets, camel rides and a bonfire pit. The tall surrounding dunes were used for sand boarding, running down & as a lookout for watching the action.
The first few hours were brilliant. We did some drumming and MC loved dancing up the front. CJ started off a bit overwhelmed & wanted to play in the dunes & have a camel ride. He didn't take long to warm up though & was soon running around having fun, smacking the main drummers bottom's & hitting their drums!
After some drumming & dancing we had our dinner. It's still really hot so we were all dripping with sweat & covered in sand but happy to be there. Things went a little down hill when the organiser droned on for way too long with impromptu blabber & the energy of the drumming died a bit. This was followed by music & dancing that made us imagine what it's like in a (bad) Beirut nightclub! We were tired & my poor pregnant body was sore after a long day so we headed home around 11pm.
It was a cool scene & we will watch the moon and look forward to following the next full one back to the big party in the desert.

Hello. I'm home and it feels like I've been away forever. The heat is unbelievable but I am back a new Bonnie, I will not complain about Dubai anymore! Well, I'm sure I will but will try not to as our time away highlighted the fact that home is home. It's your own space where you make the rules and do what you like when you like. My family's sanctuary. It turned out my nervousness about the trip was intuition, it was a mixed bag with good and bad, hard and easy days.
We spent our first 11 days with my dad's cousin in a small town in Fife called Leven. We had a lovely time here and were so well looked after. We had dinner cooked for us every night which was a real treat and CJ loved the attention and company of the 2 big kids (19 and 20), his "mates". While we were here we played at the park and beach, took the train to Edinburgh and walked up to the castle, took bus rides to Elie and Anstruther and had a day at St Andrews. We met most of dad's cousins and their children and grandchildren. Fife was beautiful, I loved the rolling lush countryside and dreamed of riding horses in the rain. MC started to walk everywhere and was so proud.
From here we left to stay with my uncle in Dunfermline where unfortunately things went wrong. CJ didn't cope with the change and missed Leven terribly. This brought out his homesickness and he started to cry and scream for A most days. I caught a cold and felt miserable. But the biggest challenge for me was the fact that my parenting was challenged and I'm sorry to say that I failed badly at being assertive and sticking to what I believe in. The theory in this house seemed to be,use junk food, TV and noisy flashing battery operated toys to keep children occupied and out of the adults way. CJ ended up glued to the television and lost all motivation to go anywhere or do anything. He was saying "no, you go mum, I'll just stay here and watch my DVD". I was gutted and I wish I had have put my foot down from the start and made it clear CJ doesn't watch much TV. They were shocked I didn't let CJ have Cocoa Pops for breakfast and sweets on tap through the day. I felt my parenting was under the spotlight and the results were not good! Massive tantrums almost constantly made me feel like a disaster.
We tried to make the best of the situation and managed another trip to Edinburgh which was a great day. We went around on the double decker tour bus (2 laps!), went to the castle and had lunch there overlooking the city. We visited the gorgeous old village Culross and my uncle took us to Loch Ness in the highlands. But there was more bad luck here as I got a stomach bug overnight, no sleep and was sore and shattered the next day. Driving home CJ lost the plot, which I totally understood as he was tired of being dragged around tourist sites and was just falling asleep when we woke him up to see another one. This resulted in my uncle saying some harmful things directed at me about CJ. We left the next day. I'm sad as I never got to meet my dads uncle and I had really looked forward to meeting him, I think I'll always regret that. We also had a festival day planned (for today actually) that looked like a lot of fun. But we had to go. Poor CJ was a mess and needed his dad badly. The night before we left, when we were in bed he said to me "I'm sorry for crying so much today mum, I just didn't get enough sleep". Heartbreaking. I could see that, I understand he is a small person with real feelings. It's so sad that children are judged as 'good' by how quiet they are 😦
So, we made it home sweet home. MC was a superstar on the plane walking up and down the aisles waving at everyone like a celebrity. Grumpy was there to meet us, he's been sick too and life is fast going back to *'normal'*. I read the intro of Unconditional Parenting again last night and just thought 'thank god for Alfie Kohn'!
Notes on Scotland: lovely. cold. fresh air and food. green. grey. old. natural. scenic. I prefer traveling to more foreign, exotic places though so although it was nice, it was familiar and slightly boring or at least same same. I think the highlights were our days in Elie, Anstruther and Edinburgh, when it was the 3 of us out exploring on our own.

I had completely forgotten about these gorgeous antique Ottoman tiles we bought in Aleppo, Syria. Last night putting MC to bed they came into my head & I was panicking thinking they had been lost in the move to Dubai. A had them away above the kitchen cabinets, now we have to decide where and how we can display them?

Fujairah for the day
I felt a desperate need to get out of Dubai for the day so yesterday we headed off to the East Coast, the Fujairah emirate. It took us 90mins on the Sharjah-Kalba road (S116) and it was a great drive. We saw the usual sand dunes, camels, goats and the last 30 mins or so was through mountains. From Kalba we drove up the coast through Fujairah, Khor Fakkan and to Le Meridien hotel on Al Aqah beach where we spent the day. It was roasting hot but we really enjoyed our day. We spent a couple of hours by the pool then had lunch inside under the AC which we really needed by then. MC made a pig of herself and then she had a lovely afternoon snooze in the pram while CJ, A and I swam all afternoon in the ocean and relaxed at the beach. They were the best swims I've had in the UAE, absolutely gorgeous. The water was clean & clear & warm oooo I want to be there now! MC woke up for an evening beach swim & then we had a hard time getting CJ out of the pool for dinner. Fish n Chips outside by the water. In the evening when I changed out of my togs it was still so hot my body could not get dry, I was dripping with sweat. We left around 8pm and made it home by 10 with 2 sleeping babes who had fallen asleep as soon as they were in the car. We will definitely return when the temperatures cool down again but with it not even being June yet it could be a long hot 4 months ahead.
Khor Fakkan – an inviting spot!
Finally I got my snap! I tried to take a photo of one of these signs at the Oman border & we were quickly yelled at by security & made to delete the pic. Yesterday I got my photos, I love this sign.

Look how clear the water is. And look how cute his bum in the next one!

Organised Chaos – Egypt
It feels like it was so long ago we were in Egypt. So much has changed since we returned to the UAE & we've been busy settling into our new home. My feelings are very mixed, I am definitely sad to be out of Abu Dhabi. I never felt comfortable when we last lived in Dubai & I get the same sense this time too, the place doesn't sit well with me. On the other hand I really like our villa and it has really changed our routine. CJ & MC are enjoying playing in the garden every morning & evening & it is so private. In the apartment although it was big we had to get out everyday to stay sane. This week I've left the house once! So the three of us are spending really good home time together & it's been lovely. We have some exciting activities starting all in the neighbourhood this week & our ready made friends have made settling back in so stress free. I have to face the traffic tomorrow, Dubai driving for the first time again (I have a fear since the crash), at least it will be on a quiet Friday morning & is to yoga so I should be nice & chilled out for the drive home!
back to the worlds best organised chaos…..
We flew from Aleppo to Cairo & spent two whirlwind days exploring Cairo. It was fantastic. We stayed at the Windsor Hotel which was the coolest old hotel, like something out of an old murder mystery. Actually it's an old officer's club & was attacked in the Black Saturday riots in 1952. It was my favourite hotel of the trip
On the first day we went to the pyramids at Giza & Saqqara, there was a sandstorm at Saqqara so we didn't get a good look there but found shelter at a wonderful little restaurant near by with a garden with playground for the babes. Riding camels around the pyramids was one of our trip highlights but my bottom was SO SORE! We got dropped off after lunch at Khan al Khalili the bazaar then headed back to the Windsor for dinner & bed. Our second & last day in Cairo was full on. First we went to Al Azah park which was such a pretty quiet space in the city with amazing views. From there we went to the Cairo Tower for another view of the city. From the tower we walked until we started running out of time & jumped in a cab to Zamalek, found a trendy cafe for lunch & enjoyed espresso & Western food for the first time in about 10 days. After lunch we took a frantic guided tour of the museum, I am not the museum type but really enjoyed it (especially as CJ & MC slept in Ergos) , but our time was so limited so we gave up after the tour & headed 'home' again to shower & meet the transfer to the night train.
We got on the overnight train & I had been dreading it. I thought it might just be seats that lay down with a curtain across (I must have seen photos of some like this) but we had a tiny cabin & the beds were comfy enough. We all got to sleep, although I felt nauseous & took some meds, MC must have had something wrong too because in the morning when we were ready to enjoy the view she pooed EVERYWHERE. We got off the train in Aswan & straight onto our Movenpick cruise up the river Nile to Luxor. Again I hadn't been sure how we would enjoy the package holiday 'cruise' thing but it was fab. The boat was nice & it was just so easy having your days planned including meal times & cup of tea time! I liked being rushed around the sites, you saw so much & didn't have time to get bored. Those ancient Egyptians were an artistic & spiritual bunch to say the least! CJ made a best friend for the 3 days on the boat & they were really cute hanging out together. We got off the ship in Luxor for our last 2 nights & stayed on the West Bank. What a good choice that was! The East bank of Luxor is impossible, the hassle just drives you crazy & you can't escape it. We were happy in ourlittle haven El Nakhil, we took it easy, used a neighbouring hotel's swimming pool, ate a lot & finished the adventure with a hot air balloon ride over the West Bank.
What a magic and unforgettable time we had. Our family was strengthened more by our time together & our experience. It was however one holiday we've had when I haven't left saying I would love to return. Now I've seen Syria & Egypt I don't think I will return there (but who knows). It was a once in a lifetime trip & I am so glad we did it.

Notes from damascus.
This is going to be a long & often edited post but I need to get writing, when I post photos it will be finished!
First of all Notes From Bon. What an adventure we've had, everyday has been busy with traveling & sightseeing or activities. MC surprised me & settled into life on the road perfectly, taking her naps in the Ergo, breastfeeding when & where she could & bathing in various buckets & tubs! CJ did great too although he got his cough & cold back & found the whole thing tiring. Right at the end he also learned to nap in the Ergo rather than fight it & end up exhausted. He only learned the F word yesterday so not too bad :0 He had some rough patches. A was funny, definitely enjoying the more luxurious legs of the journey. The fact he slept 4 nights in a hostel & on a train was impressive.
Me, I liked the big cities Damascus & Cairo. Bosra stands out in my mind & some of the incredible meals we had in Syria. I did excellent planning & it was a whirlwind 2 weeks. As usual I felt confused by it all, I felt privileged but not necessarily happy to be so. In Egypt (Luxor) kids begging, men hounding foreigners to make a few bucks or ripping people off, women in the background. At first the hassle makes you angry but later when I ponder what it must feel like for someone who gets by day to day by begging I feel troubled.
Back later.
I left the last post in Damascus so back to the start of our journey. The next day we bused to Palmyra. My highlight was buying a filthy old dress hanging outside a small shop on the main street, it's made out of the Arabic black and white checkered head cloths. A was disgusted I was spending money on it & it took 3 washes to get the water to change from black but I was right, love it
I guess the roman ruins were quite cool too! We stayed here
Decent clean hotel where we had more really yummy food. We also had a great meal at a small B&B called 'Casa Mia' with our travel buddies from Damascus.
Palmyra to Krak des Chavelier. The countryside and castle were stunning, the nicest part of Syria. We had a huge feast for our lunch, tons of the best mezze and then chicken for the boys. We didn't need to eat a proper meal until the next evening it was so good.
From Krak we traveled to Aleppo via Hama, Dead Cities & Apamia. Hama sux it was disappointing as I'd looked forward to it. We were freezing, & it was smelly & dirty so we ended up tasting all the Arabic sweets in the bakery. It was a long day & e were happy to arrive at Hotel Mandaloun in Aleppo.mandalounhotel.com/photo_gallery…
Well it seems my notes on Syria have been misplaced along with, one Syria Lonely Planet, one beautiful new turquoise necklace, and one tap juice bottle. So off the top of my head: Cold in March, dirty, crazy driving, bleak, concrete block flats without paint, great food and welcoming people, very traditional little Western influence, no colour – greys & browns, Damascus old town- neat windy narrow streets Krak des Chavelier- countryside & castle were stunning, Palmyra was amazing, Aleppo reminded me of a big town centre (Porirua!) we were warming to it when we left, pictures of Bashar al-Asad everywhere.

This is not a travel blog!
But of course I want to tell you all about our trip. We are in Damascus and so far everything has gone perfectly, Damascus is very cool. Qatar airways was awesome and MC & CJ traveled really well. We've been in Damascus 3 nights now staying at the Damascus hostel which has been very comfy & an excellent base.
Cosmo loves 'Bunny' the bunny. We've been exploring the old town & souqs, went to the Omayyad mosque and Azem Palace, went to Bosra on the bus, tasted some yummy food including an impromptu lunch at the Four Seasons. That was funny, everyone was in suits excepts us with the kids & in dirty jeans, we think they were suspicious of us as the F&B manager came over to talk to us – find out if we had the money to pay I reckon!
I bought some beautiful clothes this morning, a hand embroidered dress and pants made by Syrian women in a scheme to have them keep alive their craft & create employment for them.
I'm in an Internet cafe now, A had an interesting time here last night when 6 officials came in to go through the computers & check out what people have been looking at. You have to show your passport when you come in too.
We're off tomorrow, busing to Palmyra.

I've password protected by UAE dis, big brother and all that. And I don't want to contribute to wordpress being banned here. CJ's middle name will get you in.
Something really weird happened. We sold my car and most of our furniture. We were almost mentally prepared to leave and were looking at the possibility of buying a business in Thailand, or trying to decide where to from here for us. so just as the last bed was being removed on wednesday night the phone rang and A GOT A JOB!
So I wrote I wanted to go to Syria and Egypt and then come home, and that is exactly what we are about to do! We will be coming home to an empty house (no beds, no oven, no fridge, no power by then) but we are staying and are very happy about that. We've been camping out in CJ's room and eating meaty boy meals (bleugh) so looking forward to setting off in the morning.
Here is our itinerary
4 nights Damascus, visit Bosra
1 night Palmyra
1 night Krak des Chaveliers
2 nights Aleppo visiting Hama and the Dead Cities on the way
2 nights Cairo
sleeper train Cairo – Aswan
3 nights Nile Cruise
2 nights luxor
It all feels surreal and I half expect to come back and have something go wrong. But it's all looking good so we will enjoy our trip and the huge sense of relief we are feeling. Phew!

Davenport avenged a fall loss with a 16-7 win over Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark., Saturday. Despite only being able to practice outside one time prior to the match, the Michigan-based side pulled off a solid road victory.
The visitors controlled most of the play in the first half and kept the Red Wolves off the scoreboard. JP Eloff opened the scoring for Davenport with a penalty. Eloff would convert three penalties and the Panthers' only try of the game for a total of 11 points in the first half. Kevin Lydon, the Davenport scrumhalf, dotted down to increase the lead to 10-0, and then two penalties before halftime left the score 16-0 in favor of the Panthers.
Davenport managed to stymie the home side by sustaining ball possession in the first half. "They are obviously dangerous with ball in hand and that was our big push today," said Davenport coach James Wood. "If we could limit their time with the ball by possessing it the lion's share ourselves, we put ourselves in a good spot and save ourselves from having to play too much defense."
Arkansas State responded in the second half, pinning Davenport inside its own 22 for an extended period of time. Davenport attempted to clear its line but the kick was not struck very well and the Red Wolves scored a counter attack try under the posts to cut the lead to 16-7. The rest of the game was very back and forth, but Davenport was able to hold off the Red Wolves for an impressive home victory.
Wood was very happy with the patience his team showed on offense, something he hoped his side would carry over from the fall.
"These defenses are good, they are disciplined, you are not going to break them in a couple of phases, you are going to have to be willing to play multiple phases to unlock things," added Wood. "It has been a push since the fall and we are carrying over some of those lessons into the spring, and as a coach, it was something I was hoping for."
JP Eloff continues to impress for Davenport, having another strong performance on both sides of the ball. Angus MacLellan and Gabe Sochanek spearheaded a strong performance from the Panther pack. Loose forwards Conor Schilling and Carl Smith were constantly around the breakdown and successfully disrupted Arkansas State ball.
After falling at home to ASU, 49-12 in the fall, Davenport put together an overall sound performance to split the season series with the Red Wolves.

A friend of mine (thanks Tim) that shares a passion for life, blessed me by recommending some vacation reading. I went home and 60 seconds later I entrenched myself in my Kindle reading his recommendation, a book by Harry Beckwith "Selling the Invisible: A Field Guide to Modern Marketing". I really felt compelled to share his words in my blog today. You can read more about Harry's book here: http://www.beckwithpartners.com/sellingtheinvisible.aspx
I am a "the glass is half full" kind of person. I like to go a step further and say that it is not only half full but let's accept the challenge as a team to take the exciting journey of figuring out how to not just fill the rest of the glass, but overflow it. As a side note I credit my relationship with God for filling me with my passion for adventure.
How often have we shied away from failure? I know I have. It's easier to just sit back and say "the glass is half full, that's good enough", than to say "let's fail a few times (or many times) in order to fill that glass up". What if we viewed failure as a stepping stone to success? Sure would make the experience of failure more palatable wouldn't it? In Mr. Beckwith's words..
"Few phobias are more widespread than the fear of failure. But what is failure? Robert Townsend, who helped mastermind Avis's dramatic turnaround in the 1960's, said two of every three decisions he made were wrong.
America's best pro basketball teams lose the basketball every three minutes without even getting up a shot. Fred Smith got a C on his graduate business school paper in which he described the concept for Federal Express. The world champion in baseball has to win only 57 percent of its championship games.
There's little point in killing an idea by saying it might fail. Any idea might fail. If you're doing anything worthwhile at all, you'll suffer a dozen failures.
Start failing so you can start succeeding."
At the core of "failing = success" is change. Without change, without getting outside of our comfort zone do we ever experience the liberating release of failure? To overcome failure we need to know that it's OK, that others have failed before us and survived, that success or least experiential learning, is the result of that failure.
Make it a personal resolution this year to embrace failure. See it for what is, the first mile marker on the road to YOUR success. Along the way enjoy the scenery, take someone along with you and thank God for the blessing.

Portable printing solutions have often been stuck in the background of the mobile photography revolution. After all, it takes a whole lot of effort to print your memories rather than just posting them to a social network.
Fujifilm wants to help bring photo prints back to the forefront of mobile photography. First showed off at CES, the Instax Share SP-1 connects to your smartphone through a dedicated iOS or Android app to receive images for printing. Using film around the size of a credit card, the SP-1 spits out smartphone images at the touch of a button.
Users also get the option of applying five different templates, ranging from a real-time template (which includes an overlay of time, weather, temperature and humidity) to a social network template (for including a profile photo and the number of likes for images printed from Facebook and Instagram).
Alongside printing photos in colour, sepia and black-and-white filters are available. The unit is battery powered and its two CR2 lithium units should be good for 100 shots. There is no RRP for Australia just yet, but the product will be available locally from April 2014. As a guide of what to expect, the SP-1 will debut at US$199 when it is released in the United States, which seems like a steep price for a fun, novelty product.

Nostradamus predicted the 'end of the world as we know it' NOT simply 'the end of the world'. There is also the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. Interesting too is that NASA predicts massive sun flares that have the potential to knock out electronics and the power grid, due in 2012-13 – surly the end of the world as we know it when the phones go dead and the toaster stops working. I'm stocking up on coffee beans just in case ;-)

Turnips don't have a very desirable reputation – not until recently anyway. Most people of old think of this root vegetable as cattle food and therefore shouldn't be consumed by humans. How to cook turnips in acceptable ways also have not been discovered yet.
This kind of intimidating-looking cruciferous vegetable is the size of an apple and can be purple, white, red or sometimes, green. Both the root and turnip greens can be eaten.
The turnip is a widely cultivated root vegetable around the world. But it is said to have originated from Northern Europe in 2000BC. However, some sources dispute that it may have an Asian or Mediterranean origin.
But regardless of where it really came from, yes, turnips have been around that long.
Depending on your preference, turnips may be boiled or mashed, roasted or fried. But because turnips become woody as they mature, most people find baby turnips more juicy and tasty. You can even eat it raw.
Turnips are rich in phytonutrients which aid in fighting off cancer-causing substances. It is also a great source of Vitamins C, A, potassium, folate and calcium.
Being a hardy crop as it can withstand drought and keep well in cold temperatures, the turnip is a valuable food source in northern nations.

The first thought that may come to mind with this band is the 90's sitcom of the same name. Perhaps that's not what they wanted, but it's hard not to think of since there's always been an obsession with TV references in band names (Fall Out Boy, Chunk! No Captain Chunk! The Wonder Years, just a couple examples), but maybe that's an obvious observation to make.
Unfortunately, like the band name, the music itself isn't all that original. Not to say that the music is bad, but there just wasn't much to take from this album honestly, not much stuck with me. Now I know that this style of music is rarely original but there are usually some catchy hooks to take away from them (Chumped did it fairly well on their debut last year) but this album didn't have many at all. They kept it quite safe and stuck to the usual pop rock album formula throughout (The slower ballad type track, You I Belong To, the "I'm sick of my job song", and the repeated "woah oh's" throughout the album). Again this isn't a bad thing as there is an audience for this album, and is sure to expand once they've played Warped Tour this summer. However, there are so many albums in this style that it's just boring at this point to hear more of that sound, and this band doesn't put much of an interesting spin on the genre. There are similarities to early All Time Low and New Found Glory, and other bands that use the break down moments which really haven't sounded good in any song ever but particularly don't sound good when the band is opting for more pop flavoured music. Even when this band embraces their pop punk influences like on Where This Road Leads or Still I Think, there isn't any melody backing the song and it sounds like a mess.
The lead single (similar sounding to something from Tonight Alive's debut, I'd recommend it for fans of that) Best You've Ever Had which goes for the "you could've had me / I was the best option but you didn't pick me" shtick which is admittedly self-centred but if anything it's just overused, only last year We Are The In Crowd used this on their lead single as well. It is one of the better choruses on the album however. Then again, Moving On has a fairly bouncy chorus that with the right crowd, it could make for a decent live song.
All of this may seem harsh considering it's a debut, but it seems like another band jumping on the bandwagon and playing the same style that somehow audiences haven't gotten bored of yet. I'll give it to the vocalist for not sounding as whiny as most in this style though, but I honestly couldn't pick him out of a line-up when distinguishing his voice from other pop rock bands.
"Maybe I'll get introspective, and take on a new perspective", hopefully this will happen to this genre one day, but for now, it doesn't seem like that's gonna happen.

Warren Buffett, Philanthropist
Warren Buffett, one of the richest people in the world, has decided to transfer a major part of his wealth to the Bill and Melinda Gates Charitable Foundation. His intentions are practical, well thought-out, quite logical and seem devoid of ego.
Warren has always thought that passing on great wealth is not the best thing to do, although passing on comfortable amounts are OK. His wealth is too massive to transfer to his heirs. Early on, he used his wealth to "teach" his children how to give and to have it done in a way that he could evaluate their actions. Well, they did a great job. He is very proud of them and has expanded the amounts he donated to their foundations. They are supporting some very commendable activities.
The biography, written by Alice Schroeder (a member of my profession and a CPA), does a great job explaining his thinking process and reasons. It is obvious that he thought hard about it over a long period of time and his decisions are clear and spelled out in the book. Some comments are:
- He doesn't care about buildings in his honor.
- He no longer wants to wait to give the money preferring to see its results.
- He does not want to create a perpetual never-ending legacy and would rather see his annual contributions expended reasonably quickly after being donated.
- He sees the importance of a well-ordered leadership, management and administrative team.
- He values dedication and commitment to causes he deems important and far reaching.
- And he has no desire to get involved in something where he has to recreate the wheel.
His decision is to start while he is alive and he chose the Gates Foundation because they meet all his criteria. He also has grown close to Bill and Melinda, values their values and likes their relative youth. He's seen them in action and likes what he sees!
Once you surpass a certain point in your wealth beyond the assurance of financial security for yourself and family, careful consideration should be given to how you want to use your wealth to create the lessons and legacy you want to leave behind. Use the above for some ideas.

I guess now would be the time to burn your house down, move to another state, and change your name before that spider shows up again
By Tripartita | 44
I feel bad for the poor spider. It's going to be tough finding a tattooist willing to ink tiny teardrops under four of its eight eyes.
Tripartita | 44
I was alluding to the tear drop tattoos that some people get under their eye when they kill someone.
By zeffra13 | 31
You knocked the spider off your arm & then jumped on your bed. I'm assuming that means the spider is on the floor now (or maybe other furniture). How does standing up on a raised surface help you spot a spider on the floor better than sitting on your & looking more closely? Unless you needed to see over other furniture?
By cannonman1863 | 17
That was just the scout, there are plenty more waiting that you haven't seen.
