6 Things to Know about Benjamin Disraeli – a Short Biography
1. Disraeli was born Jewish, but was baptized at the age of twelve.
Benjamin Disraeli was born on 21 December 1804 at 6 King's Road, Bedford Row, Bloomsbury, London, England. He was born into an Italian Jewish family becoming and an Anglican at age 12.
2. Disraeli produced 26 fiction and nonfiction literary works.
Disraeli had a very busy life attaining much and is widely recognised as a Statesman following a dispute with Russia. He wrote many novels and was still doing so at aged 76 and produced 26 fiction and nonfiction literary works. Until current day he (2016) remains the only Jewish Prime Minister in the United Kingdom.
Disraeli had wanted to follow his brothers to a prestigious college which from the elite of politicians was produced but his father would not let that be. He was sent instead to a less known place of education under the Christian guidance of religious. This did not quench his thirst for politics and it seems he would have got there no matter where he was.
3. Disraeli started his career when he was articled as a clerk to a firm of solicitors.
His career started when he was articled as a clerk to a firm of solicitors, Swain, Stevens, Maples, Pearse and Hunt, where a prospective spouse was also known of. No relations developed and he is said to have provided satisfactory service there. On the return from European touring he decided that he was not going to become a lawyer but rather a barrister and so joined the Lincoln Inn and the chambers of his uncle Nathaniel Basevy. Benjamin Austen (of the same chambers) convinced Disraeli's father that he had nope chance of becoming a barrister and was advised to use his literary skills instead. He did produce some writing of which he recalled before publishing and started to work on the stock exchange.
4. Disraeli is considered to be the pioneer of the political novel.
The Young Duke, a novel by Disraeli funded more European Travel and these impressions from religion and racial attitudes became enlightening and even more so – inspiring. He had been graced with what others did not know and he felt he had a place to use that enlightenment.
During the mining boom he became involved with a financier J. D. Powles and produced pamphlets anonymously for Powells of which he had heavily invested in. He continued with writing novels for 'High Society' of which they were a talking point.
5. Disraeli remained the 1st Earl of Beaconsfield when he died 19 April 1881 (aged 76).
Disraeli's career centered politics throughout. He felt he had something to say and could drive change. He was early engaged into politics and helped establish the Conservative Party and regularly reported to Queen Victoria as prime minister. For both these things he remains esteemed in history and Parliament. He has a close friendship with Queen Victoria who bestowed him the Earl of Beaconsfield title in 1876.
In Parliament he held rank as a back bencher, Leader of the House, Chancellor and Prime Minister and was a fierce opponent both when representing the Empire and in the House of Commons. It was this very nature that had him succeed in all he achieved. He vexed farmers and lost public support quickly to towards the end of his career over corn laws and importation matters.
6. Disraeli was a committed politician that did have a great deal of fighting.
During the 1830 election the Liberals 'bested' the Conservatives and so he lost his position as Prime Minister continuing with the party in opposition instead. A massive misinterpretation of media reporting about Daniel O'Connell (the Irish Politician) had thought Disraeli had slandered him and offered up public attack in response through The Times paper. This brought to fore yet more public battles involving Disraeli and he was willing to use each of them to make his point known.
Disraeli was a committed politician that did have a great deal of fighting spirit which seems lacking in modern politics. He was decided on what he wanted and he went all out for it inspiring others to do the same.

I'm going to steal, with Kudos of course this hilarious post from the ever funny Andy. Strangely enough (at least to me) I've been following on and off Andy's posts for a long time. It turns out that as per usual that the degree's of separation are very slim lol.
But this is an awesome post and I encourage you, no I request that you check out his site because not only is it an awesome site but there are plenty of other pastimes that Andy engages in that may interest you and in particular his Body Building regime lol.
- Cutlery would need to be paired with the crockery in order to function correctly.
- Customers would need to buy an app from the App Store first, then use iTunes to place their order.
- Windows users would be charged more for the same experience.
- Customers entering the store with pre-opened (aka jailbroken) drink bottles will be denied access.
- Windows users, like me, who kill and delete ituneshelper.exe (WTF – I don't even have iTunes installed!?!?) would be politely asked to leave.
- All meals would feature DFM (Digital Food Management) which would automatically remove all flavour if a meal is shared or eaten outside of the cafe.
- Users bringing their own drinks to the cafe will be informed that they are incompatible and that Apple drinks must be purchased.
- Before exiting, users are forced to leave a positive testimonial. Should anyone escape and leave a negative testimonial or complain about how hard it was to type using the menu interface, you will be hunted down and forced to publish an apology.
- Liver is not on the menu (see what I just did there?).
- Specials will be advertised, but are in no way special.
- All meals begin with the letter 'i'. Highlights include delicacies from the iRaq, iPad Thai, iToast (but only after Apple takes the makers of Toast to court) – and for dessert, Apple iStrudel with iCecream or Blues Cream of Death (say it out loud – slurring your words, and you'll get it).
- Users wishing to create their own meals to sell within the Apple Cafe will first need to buy a CDK (Cooks Development Kit) for $300. All meals must be approved. Meals containing the letter 'i' will need to be renamed prior to approval.
- Each time you visit the store, the cutlery will change – meaning you cannot use your existing Apple cutlery, as the connectors will no longer fit. Non-genuine Apple cutlery will not be permitted.
- Wait staff will be referred to as 'Master Chefs' – after Apple takes the maker of the TV series to court.
- Users will need absolutely no knowledge of eating prior to enter the cafe – eating is done via a simple, easy-to-use user interface that anyone can master – even your grandma!
- Poster advertisements for the cafe will feature dark silhouettes of randomly dancing people holding cutlery against colourful backgrounds.
- Television advertising for the cafe will include some skinny uni-student saying "I'm Apple Cafe" and a fat dude saying "And I'm McDonalds" (actually – that one I'll give them! +1 for Apple Cafe ). They'll then banter on for 30 seconds about random bad McDonalds facts, most of which aren't actually 100% true.

Mr. McCRACKEN: Yeah, two to three times higher than the average population. Look for the lightest shoe possible. Boxing shoes should be a help, not a hindrance, in the ring. She was reported to have stopped breathing during the procedure and was then rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital. The incident happened just one day after Rivers appeared at an employee event for Time Inc., where witnesses Golden Goose said she appeared well.
Best for: slow, short walks. Ads tout that these shoes with rounded or rocker bottom soles work muscles harder for faster toning, but some scientific studies dispute these claims. Just say. So. Fashion designers can use fabric in two ways. First, they look at the existing fabric supply for inspiration.
For me, the best episode in the first season without question is "You Go to My Head," episode 7. Written by Adam Brooks and Kate Gersten, and directed by Roman Coppola (who along with Schwartzman and Alex Timbers created Mozart), it's a lovely and dreamy episode artfully stitched with tons of tiny, emotionally truthful moments.
That's easier said than done. Some online plus size women's clothing stores carry a limited line. Paste the tall trees unevenly at the base, so that they get a depth of a forest ground. In Golden Goose Sale between the tall trees, glue some trees of medium height.
That way all the nails stay where you put them. But it will affect how tall your steer is. These accessories are a Golden Goose Outlet mark of teen's fashion. Funky embellishments are an alltime favorite of the younger generation, as these addons help them to spice up their personalities.
Several well known brands made a name for themselves in the '80s, becoming a sign of social status among kids. If you were not wearing the coolest, most expensive sneakers, you were not part of the in crowd.
Just like our feet these extremities also need some time to rest especially if we work in the office and typing is essential. Nobody wants carpal tunnel syndrome (numbing fingers) and most especially rough and manly palms.

On Saturday and Sunday August 24/25, a group of 7 ACC Yukon members hiked into what threatened to be a stormy weekend. We headed up the Sam McGee (Mountain Hero) trail up to the plateau and around the south side of Montana Mountain to the cirque of lakes surrounded by Dail, Matheson, and Montana Peaks. We arrived to Aurora Mine? area and camped next to the stone buildings. This area is a potential for a hut location that ACC Yukon is in discussions with CTFN currently. The area was beautiful, the weather cooperated wonderfully, and the group was a pleasure.
The history of the area is amazing with the tram line and multiple very old mine sites, and the beauty of the area is unsurpassed. We had a great weekend and look forward to heading up there again. Thanks to all for a great weekend! Here are some pics:

- STRFPAK is a Matlab toolbox for estimating the linear and nonlinear (future versions) stimulus-response transfer function of a sensory neuron. The resulting spatio-temporal receptive field (STRF) provides a quantitative description of neural filtering properties that can be used in subsequent computational modeling studies. The estimation techniques implemented by STRFPAK are quite general. Several algorithms are provided for estimating both linear and nonlinear STRFs from responses to either simple or complex stimuli, including natural signals.

|Walking With Kukai: A Pilgrimage In Japan..
A video about the henro michi available at the Dutch Buddhist Broadcast Foundation website. From the website: "Documentary about the Kukai Pilgrimage. Each year, tens of thousands of people follow the route plotted out by the buddhist monk Kukai centuries ago. By car, by foot, in a bus or on a bicycle. Despite heat, wind, rain and exhaust fumes. What keeps them going? We meet the modern Pilgrim."
|ARUKIHENRO: Walking Pilgrims in Shikoku, Japan. Devout hikers or adventurers on a quest for themselves?
Tommi Mendel spent 9 months on the henro trail interviewing walking henro and has produced this ethnographic documentary film about the pilgrimage. The film has ben screened at several international ethnographic film festivals around the world. It highlights the reasons and motivations of today's walking pilgrims, as well as their quest for personal change along the 88 Temples' Pilgrimage.
Available for purchase at his web site. Tiger Toda Productions.
|88 — pilgrimage in japanese
Gerald Koll put together this film documenting his trip aroung the henro trail in 2008. I'll let him describe how it came about:
"I am not a spiritual person. I don't believe in metaphysical things very much. Neither on the Spanish Camino nor in the Japanese pilgrimage. But I am interested in this kind of culture and the people. So I have a distance. A distance to myself too. Many documentaries present the nice parts of pilgrimages. Many documentaries present the beautiful sights of Japan. There are enough of this kind of movies. I was annoyed by the typical drama in three steps of "expectation," "suffering," and "happy ending." In 88 — pilgrimage in japanese I tried to find a different way: I tried to be honest; honest with my feelings and with myself in the double-role as a pilgrim and as medium. I wanted to be penetrated by the culture and the spirits. I wanted to be helpless. I wanted to be alone to cross the boundaries to the Japanese people, the pilgrims, the state of mind of a pilgrim. So I decided to do this pilgrimage on my own. Without anybody, without cameraman, assistant or whatever. It was worth it. I wanted to sink in foreigness. And I did."

Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of Shikoku Island: "Written, narrated, and directed by renowned Japan scholar Oliver Statler, this 1973 film looks like it might have been filmed at the turn of the century, though the high contrast and lack of color may simply be the effects of aging. The focus here is more on the ritual of the pilgrimage, showing what pilgrims do when they visit temples."

Funded Status Improving for Canadian Plans
DB pension plans looking healthier.
BY Staff with files from Benefits Canada | July 3, 2014
The solvency position of Canadian pension plans improved slightly in the second quarter of 2014.
The Mercer Pension Health Index stood at 105% at the end of June, down from 106% at the start of the year, but up from 104% at the end of March.
From a pension perspective, the story midway through 2014 has been a tug-of-war between long-term interest rates and equity markets.
Long-term interest rates have declined, pushing pension liabilities higher. However, pension assets have grown almost as much as pension liabilities due to strong equity returns and the positive impact of falling interest rates on bond portfolios.
Many plan sponsors were expecting interest rates to continue moving upwards in 2014 and further improve the funded position of pension plans. In fact, the reverse has happened, with long-term interest rates falling by more than 40 basis points during the year. Once again, it shows that pension plans remain largely exposed to significant and unpredictable volatility of interest rates.
The financial position of pension plans remains healthy, and it continues to be a good opportunity for plan sponsors to measure and, if necessary, adjust their risk exposure to their desired level.
"For many, this means reducing their risk exposure by increasing fixed income allocations or by off-loading portions of their liabilities to an insurance company through an annuity transaction" said Manuel Monteiro, a partner in Mercer's financial strategy group. "We expect annuity market activity to ramp up significantly in the third and fourth quarters of 2014."

OK, I will try again. I typed out a post only to have it disappear when I hit publish.
During the night Sat. (about 2am) I woke up in excruciating pain. My knee pain was and still remains minimal. The real pain is in my shin bone and on the opposite side of my knee from the repair. By Mon, I was still unable to put any weight on my right leg and just getting to the bathroom has proved a big trial.
Monday afternoon, on my DH insistence, I called the doctor who assured me what I was feeling was to be expected. She told me that they shoot novocaine into the knee during surgery and then again when surgery is over. What I was feeling was just the novocaine wearing off. She also called in another pain prescription to be used in between the doses of the original pain med. It is helping some but the pain is still more than I had anticipated.
On a lighter note, I did manage to take a shower this morning. My DH will be making Thanksgiving dinner on Thurs for the two of us and Uncle Roy. Yes, he is definitely a keeper. He has decided to take the week off from work as his vacation.......we were planning on using it when Max is born.

Well, surgery is over and I must admit that I am definitely feeling all your prayers. For the first time, I had no nausea after anesthesia (yes, I had a local in my knee but also IV so I was asleep for the entire procedure). Another blessing is the pain in my knee and hip are gone. I have pain meds that they gave me but I can manage very nicely with OTC meds. Remember I said I had to get a ice brace for my knee that was $85? Well, that is wonderful. It keeps the ice in place and secured to my knee at all times. There is an extra gel pack to keep in the freezer while one is in use. Right now I must keep it elevated except when I walk to the bathroom. I can walk with no crutches and NO pain. This has been a blessing in disguise. Thank you all again for your prayers.

surgery scheduled for tomorrow
Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:45am. While I am very eager to have my knee repaired, I am beginning to get a little anxious and concerned. I have to feel better, I certainly can not feel worse than I do now but I know that I will have to feel worse (something I did not really consider until lately) before I feel better. It is definitely time to do something. I walked at noon with Matty and my knee went out and I thought I would never get back home. I was in tears when we got here; but I did get here. PTL
Thanks to all who have said they would pray......I really aprreciate your prayers.

update from Matthew.com
Matthew had his 15 mo. check up yesterday. He is "off the charts" as far as height is concerned. He is 33 in. tall and weighs 27#. (I actually thought he was looking thinner lately but he gained 2# and grew an inch in 3 mo.) Yes, he is one big boy. He and Anthony are wearing the same size now so there is not much hand-me-down anymore. (Anthony is 6 mo older than Matty)
I did manage to make Wm. a birthday cake yesterday :-)
edit: here is a picture of Matty enjoying Grampa's birthday cake (I made another one Sat. morning.)
Oh, and did I mention I took it on my new razr camera phone Susan got for me?????? Pretty nice, eh?

Happy Birthday to my sweet William
Happy Birthday to my sweet William. He is 60 yr. old today. Wow, I find that very hard to believe! Seems like just yesterday we were our kids age with little kids running around. While I absolutely love being a grandparent, 60 sounds old. Yes, I know that "you are only as old as you feel" (I feel 106, I can barely walk anymore) and "age is relative" (relative to what may I ask) But this is not about me. It is about my DH whom God has blessed me with 30+ yr. ago.
My sister, Susan's birthday was also today and for most of our married life we always shared Wm. and Susan's birthday. She died Christmas day 2002 of a brain aneurysm.
I have not been out shopping to even get a card (this is the first time in 30+ yr. that I did not get one and have it on the table when he got up) and because there is cell group tonight, I am planning to celebrate Wm. birthday on Saturday.
On another note, I never thought I would be actually be looking forward to surgery. I can barely walk anymore. I would just like to be able to walk with Matty or make it though the grocery store in one trip or even just be able to walk around the house without holding on to the walls and cringing with every step I take on my right foot. (just 8 more days)

Alyssa's party
Yesterday was Alyssa's party. Susan, Tom and Matty rode with us. I tend to forget from year to year how bad the weather can be in the snowbelt. Granted I have seen it much worse but I was still surprised at the amount of lake effect snow through there. Having lived in Pulaski for seven years this should not really take me off guard like that.
It was so good to see the girls and the 3 hr. drive each way through the snow belt was definitely worth it. Alyssa seemed to have been pleased with all her gifts. She got quite a mix of toys and clothes. One of the gifts Grampa and I got her was a Bible and a Bible bag that said "God's Girl" on it. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it and could not wait to give it to her.
Jackie made her an adorable cake (Pablo from the Backyardigans). It had blue frosting and we all were sporting blue lips :-) She did an excellent job with the cake (allergy free) as well as the decorating.
Matthew was checking out Princess Lael's earrings in the fist picture . (Grampa too) The second picture is Lael, Matthew and the birthday girl.
Thought you might think this was as cute as I did. No, he did not go out Trick or Treating......just came to see both sets of grandparents.

T.I. Makes Big Announcement Regarding Next Album
T.I. was initially set to name his next album, 'Trouble Man: He Who Wears the Crown,' but that looks like it's going to change.
Tip spoke to RapFix Live yesterday and explained that he's contemplating a new title to reflect his new musical direction. "I think we're going to postpone that title," he said. "We're gonna rework that. I got a couple of things in mind."
Don't worry though. The sequel to 'Trouble Man' is still in the works and will be released eventually. "I still have that album," the rapper shared. "That album isn't lost, I have that project as well. But the music that we began to create -- Pharrell, myself, so many others that have contributed between the time of then and now -- the project is just taking a new shape."
The new direction makes a lot of sense. Just recently, Tip announced that he was signing with Columbia Records to release future music. "I'm honored to be partners with such a successful, passionate and creative conglomerate like Columbia Records, who respects and supports the vision of their artist and partners," said T.I. in a press release. "Also, a special thank you to my big bruh, Sk8board P, for always believing in me and also executive producing my upcoming project."

AFC Colne's third came from a corner to the near post, which was headed in by Conway.
Ingrow pulled one back from a free kick, but, late on, AFC Colne added the final blow when Henry Nixon scored a superb free kick into the top corner.

HEBREWS and CHRISTIANS DOCUMENTARY FACTS July 2010
Paperback, 82 Pages
Price: $20.77
Prints in 3-5 business days
The motivation to achieve this documentary started from the desire to put a 'pebble' to build a vision of harmony, based on the belief in one God given to us by its Prophets. You are not less Romaian if you choose Mohammedan or Mosaic Creed. You are not less Arab if you choose Mosaic or Christian Creed. You are not less Hebrew if you choose Christian or Mosaic Creed. All Creeds are of a SINGLE CREDO, which includes: Laws of Moses to Social Justice Love for others give us by the Lord Jesus Christ. Moral laws in the Koran give us by the Prophet Muhammad. Human community has the premise to self rebuild on these three pillars. On the other I have in my mind the view of the string of murders made by people on their fellows. I hope you will browse the text will feel, like in a Cathedral, Mosque or Synagogue, inner peace.to build a vision of harmony, based on the belief in ONE UNIQUE GOD given to us three thousand years ago. firstname.lastname@example.com

Unless you take steps to provide and update accurate number and location data in California's 9-1-1 database, the location information provided to the 9-1-1 operator may not be the location from which the call is actually placed.

After a several hours driving around Mesa Verde, we headed back into Arizona and were planning on making it home that night, which we did but not until we stopped at Canyon De Chelly. Neither Dennis nor I had been there either. It was a place kind of like Mesa Verde. I loved the green against the red rocks!

Super Hot Pink!
Pink is my favourite colour (besides purple) so I feel very satisfied with the outcome of this card. :)
I got this rock chick, known as Punkette Peta, to take part in the Art by Miran Challenge #32 and decided to colour her in a hot pink to show her sweet yet rocker kind of image. I also gave her hair a "dip-dye" colour that youngsters seem to like in, what else, hot pink. :D
I coloured the skull on her skirt with silver glitter from Wink of Stella and stuck two crystals on its eyes (but it is not very visible on this image). I also added a red crystal to her dangling earring. Lots of glitter and pink!
Copic colours used:
Face: E000, E00, E11, E21, E04
Pink: RV02, Rv 04, RV06, RV09
Black: 100, W9, W7, W5, W3
Silver: C3, C5
Wink of Stella silver glitter
I already have in mind the recipient for this card. I believe she will like it as much as I do!

Author Bio:
Welcome to my world-
I have always had an interest in the strange and unusual and I'm a romantic by heart. So how did I come into writing, you ask? Well, I stumbled into it. Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. I never pictured myself as a writer but sometime in 2011, craving some kind of excitement and adventure in my life; I jotted down a few notes for a book idea and never looked back. Funny part is, the notes I wrote never became a book, instead I took on subjects as wolf-shifters and angels and created their worlds and I have loved every minute of it.
I write passion-filled paranormal romance- weaving tales of alpha males willing to do anything for the one feisty, curvaceous, strong-willed woman who has won their heart. They will go to any length to please their mate, in and out of the bed.
I invite you, lovely readers, to enter my world, relax in an easy-chair, sip a soothing beverage, stay and be entertained. I write for you.

Tamara's spicy scent thrills, seduces and weakens him like no other. She is his and he wants her. Unfortunately, she is done with men. Tamara's been burned too many times in the past and she's not looking for a relationship…..ever. But when she finds a stray dog on her doorstep she decides she wants a relationship with a male, after all- that of pet and pet owner.
Josh is not a dog and he has no interest in staying her pet. He has one burning desire- Tamara- in his bed, nightly and permanently. He will stop at nothing to convince Tamara they are better together and that he needs her, forever.
Their paths are intertwined and their future is inevitable but will Tamara allow Josh to love, cherish and protect her? Or will she say good-bye to the amazing, dedicated man whose loyalty and sweet promises could shatter her walls completely and consume her with desire?
He marveled, watching each time her shapely bottom flew out of her seat to rally the team toward a goal. Her enthusiasm was intoxicating and Josh's desire was growing with excitement. He viewed her curvy bottom and imagined bending her over the back of a seat, tearing off her jeans and giving everyone another, entirely different show. She was thrilled and fired-up and he was starting to feel wickedly playful.
Wolves could have sex with anyone, but it was different with their mates. Their libido was enhanced and the urge was stronger, especially on the night of the full moon. Again, it could be the pheromones but Josh didn't care what it was. He wanted Tamara naked in the backseat of his car, right now. He watched her bounce side to side and his eyes danced with her movements. She was sexier to him when she was enthusiastic and spirited, and he was extremely excited.
He leaned over and whispered, "Game's over, baby. I think we should go now before everyone leaves and we're stuck in a traffic jam." She looked over at him and nodded.
Good. He couldn't wait to get her into his car.

Tatiana seeks rare, coveted treasure: a strong, loving, committed male she can respect, be proud of and become her full-fledged, partner. She has sought this elusive prince among men, her own personal champion but instead found many, many frogs and quite a few toads. Does her hero exist on Earth or did she miss her opportunity?
Jasper isn't seeking a mate. His only intention is to rescue Tatiana from a fatal car accident, but he finds himself drawn to her in ways he can't explain. She's a rare, precious gem and there's no turning back for him. He must know her and introduce himself in some sort of "human" fashion, at some sort of "human" event, for he is not of Earth.
Once Tatiana finds out Jasper's true identity, will she accept and trust him? Will Tatiana allow herself to enter into a permanent, loving relationship with an unearthly but powerful being who only wants to adore and protect her?
Book Trailer:
The sporadic green and brown patches of grass crunched under her feet as she made her way back to her car. Circling around it, she found what she was looking for but hoping not to find. The jagged, crushed, concave metal on the driver's side was a jarring reality check. The metal was so deeply gouged into the driver's seat that she knew just by glancing at it that there was no way the driver's side door would open. She looked into the car as much as she could, trying to walk around the varied sizes of broken glass dotting the surrounding area. Her head jerked up as a shrill noise increased in intensity and approached her. It was an ambulance followed by a fire truck. Someone had called 911. She looked back at her car and gulped as she saw the devastation she couldn't deny happened. She looked at her car with incredulity and fascination as she peered in at the jagged, wicked, broken pieces of metal that would've pierced her body completely, rupturing through her left torso all the way down to her left leg.
Reality settled in and the gravity of the situation gave her a cold shiver straight down her spine. She shouldn't have survived. At the very least, the firemen would've had to use the Jaws of Life to pry her out. What could've taken several hours to extricate her from her car only took a few minutes with the help of the handsome stranger that was, somehow, no longer around. How was she walking around, with only a few bruises across her left arm and a red rash across her face where the airbag burned her when it deployed? It was nothing short of a miracle. She glanced down at her legs and found nothing wrong with them; not even tightness or any type of soreness to claim. There was no rational explanation for what happened.

Centurion has it all. A talented charge, ladies at his disposal for a single encounter or more and access to all the coffee he wants once he lands on Earth. Plus, he's second in command of the volunteer band of angels called the Guardian League. The one thing he never wanted was an intimate relationship with a human beyond the usual angel-charge boundaries.
So when he finds a woman as strong and hot as the human beverage that tickles his fancy, what else can he do but pursue her until he figures out what to do with her.
April loves her enticing, hunky angel but he's a lot to handle. He's cocky, unpredictable but most of all… incorrigible. What is she to do with a male who lives life by his own schedule?
Can April and Centurion form a compromise and allow love to bind them together? Or will Centurion's inability to commit wedge them apart, forever?
She should've died.
April leaned forward on her elbows and afforded Centurion a peek down her blouse. Centurion's gaze dropped to her full breasts stretching the length of her semi-tight shirt. Magnificent, creamy globes he wanted to hold in his hands. What would she feel like? Would she squirm or would she welcome his touch? He closed his eyes, reveling in the vivid imagery of caressing every inch of her and inhaled her musky scent. She was unique—different–and beautiful, inside and out. Her presence caused all kinds of strange sensations within him. He alternated between interest, want and need. Desire, he understood, even early on in a relationship, because for an Angel, one knew the human being they were with, intimately. It was a keen sixth-sense he couldn't explain. Somehow, he knew she was perfect for him.
His practical, logical mind struggled to rein in his wild heart as she continued speaking words he didn't hear. He was too entranced by her beauty to listen. Her heart radiated an untapped purity he rarely found in human beings. Her essence was magical and the dancing lights of her aura teased and fascinated him while he watched her sensual mouth opening and closing, forming words, uttering chuckles and creating smiles in between. April was a bit reserved and insecure but most human beings were. She was kind, generous and loving in ways others weren't. She deserved everything good in life. The fact she was single still puzzled him. Granted, she was a bit shy and didn't approach men and maybe that's why she was unattached. It was a shame her one male Guardian hadn't stepped in to take a chance when he could but his opportunity was gone and now it was Centurion's turn to try.

It's a paid thing, but we're looking for something quite a bit lower than the "shit, people go crazy for wedding, let's charge $100/hour to plug in an ipod to these speakers we got out of the back of a truck around Safeway on pay day and then talk shit about the people there into the mic while they dance to the YMCA then steal the circulating fifths of Jack Daniels floating past because the guy in charge has basically been just drinking it himself because, seriously, who wants shots from a big fucking bottle with their Aunt Whoever watching while they build up the courage to ask some girl to dance/make-out before drunk driving home and hitting a tree they couldn't see because the tears blurred their vision after being rejected by, then finding out they'd just hit on, their cousin who wasn't really even that hot so why, WHY did my mom encourage me to 'go for it, she's you're type!' ?"Actually, yes, we are looking for a DJ, know any who fit this profile? Looking at you Pat:
My often rude and rarely funny thoughts on pictures, politics, and the life of a happily distracted public defender. Yes, this is a mildly odd way to waste your time.

What kind of DJ are we looking for to do our wedding?

From Julia Child to Bill Clinton: 10 prominent diners at Chez Panisse
Chez Panisse, the restaurant opened by Alice Waters in 1971, is among the most famous restaurants in the United States. And we all know celebrity attracts celebrities from all walks of life. Even Waters herself is something of a household name these days because of the restaurant and her decades-long campaign for local, seasonal food. But there's more to Waters' story - and more notables - than a mere roster of those who showed up at the restaurant's door in Berkeley, Calif.
Waters' new memoir, "Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook" (Clarkson Potter, $27), is well-peppered with bold-faced names - then men and women she encountered over an eventful and productive life, much of it lived in the Bay Area. The names she drops - and she does it naturally as part of whatever tale she's telling - are people in the worlds of cinema, politics and, of course, food.
Here, from her book, are 10 notable people she encountered.

Brek Shea: The Artist with the Ball and Brush
Brek Shea had a break out season last year for FC Dallas and is now making his name as a possible national team star for the future. His play in MLS was great this past year, but has also picked up this year where he is tied for the lead in goals with 8. Brek has not only made a name for himself on the field, but also off the field with his use of paint and canvass. Recently in an auction for the FC Dallas foundation (which helps to build up youth soccer in the Dallas area) several paintings made by Brek Shea where featured and sold to contribute for the foundation.
Suddenly his skill on the field also mirrors his ability with a brush and paint. His art is abstract and edgy, or just simply its good! I would love to own one of his paintings. Here is an inside look into Brek Shea as an artist. This video is from Mlssoccer.com.
For more about the artist and left footed goal scorer check out his website set up by his brother at Left Foot Studio.

Bayete, went on to work with Peter Gabriel, as well as a host of other notable names. In 1991 he released an acoustic jazz album titled "Todd" and later moving towards the 21st century he went on to compose music for movies such as Women Thou Art Loosed and Love and Other Four Letter Words. Jerome Rimson went on to work with Van Morrison. He also collaborated with Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy (I will blog on this group later!) and they produced a single by a band called Blue Russia. He too went on to work with many notable acts as well. According to research, Rimson is living in Dublin, Ireland where he teaches classes on music production and theory. He also penned an autobiography titled "Renegade" ( I will be looking for a copy of this!).
Until I began my research for my theme and begin looking up names, I had never heard of the group Automatic Man. Also, thank all things holy and good for YouTube, because I was able to go back and listen to a few of their songs; I really love the trippy, funky, rock and metal sounds they brought to their music, as one person said their music definitely seemed like it was ahead of its time. I found them extremely easy to listen to as well. Definitely check this group out; I don't think you'll regret it!
Al Spx aka Cold Specks or (Laden Hussein) is a singer and songwriter of Somalian descent who is from Toronto, Canada. She is said to formally go by the name Cold Specks. She describes her music as a kind of Doom Soul which mixes influences of a bit of gospel, folk, blues and (in my opinion, a bit of rock and metal) into her music. Her first single titled "Holland" was released on October 17, 2011 and in May of 2012 released her debut album titled "I Predict a Graceful Expulsion". As I was listening to a few her singles I was instantly drawn to her voice; there is something so very powerful about it, Her voice has that hard rock age yet it's still soulful. The music is other-worldly, it's both beautiful and frightening all at the same time, you can't help but to dig this woman. Her single "Winter Solstice" off of the debut album is probably my favorite song, it's hauntingly beautiful, magical and dark and listening to the lyrics, it's obviously a song of mourning. Her voice will make you cry (which isn't necessarily a bad thing); it made me relive memories of family members who have passed on; almost as if this song is a call to remember those lost and keep that memory alive.
Her second album "Neuroplasticity" released last year in August, follows the same edgy, frightening, soulful theme. Beautiful sounding music, with that element of rock . Again, there also seems to be a sense of sadness within these songs. I am as excited as a fan girl listening to One Direction; I have become an instant fan of hers, I am so intrigued by her weirdness and I absolutely love it. Check her out below:

{Today's Letters & Reason #972} 3/1/10
Monday, March 08, 2010
Today's Letters: Dear Mr. Loerke, You've always helped me not to worry about adult things by bringing out my inner child. Tonight we played hide & seek so I could take a break from doing our taxes. Do you know how lost I'd be without this gift of yours? Ps, you can come out now. Dear Easter, you are on April 4th this year. I don't want you to sneak up on me like March did, so I'm officially taking this moment to celebrate you. Dear Monday, you weren't anything like I thought you'd be. But at least you ended with 24 and a large bowl of Blue Bell & Magic Shell. Dear Beloved, reason #972 why I love you. You eat more peanut butter than Joe Black. Ps, sorry about putting hemorroidal cream on your cut digit. I thought it was Polysporin.

This week, I've dedicated this blog to the Slash/Economy, a subject that I'm incredibly excited about. If you've not yet Embraced Your /Slash, I truly believe that 2017 is the year to start, but only if you're willing to make three very important commitments:
Commit To Starting Early
Don't you find those people that brag about getting up so early annoying? I certainly do, and I won't brag about getting up at 5 am every day, but I do it. I didn't say that I like it, but I've committed to it and here's why: There aren't enough hours in the day to be a Slasher unless you expand your day. If I don't use my mornings before my family is moving around, I'm forced to choose between spending time with them or writing/marketing/preparing/branding. I refuse to make that choice, so I start early.
There are those that don't but choose to stay up late. I won't say they're wrong, but I know there's always a chance that something (probably sleep) will pull me away if I don't do it first. If you choose to wait, be warned this can happen to you.
Commit To Getting In Great Shape
The dark secret that no one talks about in this Slash/Economy is the amount of energy required to be great at more than one thing. Working one fulltime job can wear you out, killing it at two and keeping the commitments of being a friend and family member can downright take it out of you.
For this reason, it's my belief that it's an absolute must that we take care of ourselves and commit to getting in great shape. I love virtually anything sweet. Candy, cakes, coke…but the crashes they bring, the insulin resistant fog and the inability to make it past 3:00 pm without a nap aren't worth the taste. When I tell people to control their diet, it's not because I think I'm a medical professional, but because I know the difference it's made with my own energy levels. Make your commitment, take control of your diet and find a way to move. Trust me, you'll need the energy.
Commit To Constant Learning
Last year the average American read one book. The average CEO, however, read 50. It's so tempting to get so busy pursuing everything we want in our primary careers and our passions that we neglect our own education, but this is a mistake.
No matter what industry we work in, our goal should be to become, and be seen as an expert. This doesn't happen by osmosis. Read books, blogs, trade journals, watch YouTube videos, listen to audiobooks, attend seminars. Commit to constant learning because in our new Slash/Economy, it's the experts that hold the power.
This weekend brings joy to a lot of people. I truly hope you enjoy it and spend time with the people that you love and care about. When it's over, I hope you begin to gear up because 2017 can be your year. The year you Embrace Your /Slash and join us. Just make sure you've made these commitments first, and you'll be ready to rock come January.

About the Book
Title: EYE OF THE PHARAOH
Genre: Egyptian-themed time travel with paranormal elements
Publicist Teri Hunter has her hands full promoting Professor Joshua Cain and his new non-fiction book, The Pharaoh's Mummy. She's not convinced it's even possible to turn this absent-minded, modern-day, Indiana Jones into a best-selling author.
Dr. Cain's PhDs in archaeology and art history have prepared him for almost anything on the lecture circuit and among ancient ruins. He's just not sure about a book tour...or the sexy publicist sent to monitor his every professional move.
When an odd request falls in their laps while in New Orleans, Josh and Teri find themselves transported to 1920's Egypt where they must resolve an ancient curse in order to be sent home. Will the dangers facing them hinder their success and threaten their very lives? Or will help from an ancient guardian keep them on-track and safe?
Excerpt #1:
Wake up. Kick ass. Repeat.
Teri Hunter mouthed the motivational phrase she'd chosen for her personal mantra as she stepped across the threshold into the dark and musty storeroom.
A dim light shone from a glass-enclosed workroom in the far corner. Taking a tentative step forward, she faltered when the floorboards creaked beneath her feet. Something fast and furry brushed against her ankle. A shiver ran down her back, yet she fought the urge to retreat.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
This was obviously today's obstacle. Were it not for her professional commitments and intricately organized schedule, she'd have no doubt bolted for the door and returned to the safety and illumination of the main building.
'Sorry, but the storage area doesn't have overhead lighting. Preservation of the antiquities. You understand.' The dean's words echoed in her head. To make matters worse, what little outside light there was had become nearly non-existent due to an impending thunderstorm.
Drawing a deep breath, she took a second step and then a third, winding her way past a half-dozen crates, some open, some not. To her left she heard a rustling of paper; to her right the distinct sound of footsteps.
Her apprehension grew, the hair on her forearms stood at attention. She'd barely made it halfway across the room before bumping into something large and solid. Reaching out, she laid her hand against the oversized object. Slowly, she raised her head and came face to face with the painted mask of an Egyptian noble. The chipped finish gave the death mask a deranged look.
"You come here often, big boy?"
Excerpt #2:
Teri stared in amazement at the well-worn guest home Dr. Cain had chosen for their stay. In her mind's eye, she could see the grand entranceway of the Marriott on Canal Street, feel the pampered luxury of the hotel spa. Instead, she got this . . . an early nineteenth-century home in obvious need of repair. Collingwood, apparently, had history. Of what, she wasn't certain. From the road, it looked like something torn from the pages of a horror novel.
"This is where we're staying?" she asked, unable to hide her surprise and disappointment.
"You're welcome to go elsewhere, if you'd like. Personally, I prefer a room with some character."
She choked back an outright laugh. "It's certainly got character. As a matter of fact, Freddie Kruger comes to mind."
He shot her a disapproving frown before taking his bags from the driver and starting up the front walkway. Teri had no choice but to follow. They'd barely made it to the porch when the huge oak door opened. A short, frail-looking woman stood in the entryway.
"Welcome back, Joshua," the woman greeted.
"Thank you, Martha. It's good to be here." Glancing back to where Teri stood, he said, "This is Miss Hunter. She's with me."
"Oh," the woman said simply. "Welcome, Miss Hunter. We trust your stay here at Collingwood will be enjoyable."
Teri smiled faintly, but couldn't muster up a 'thank you' to save her soul.
"One room or two, Joshua?"
In unison, they both answered, "Two."
Martha responded with a minute bob of her graying head and then motioned toward the parlor with a sweep of her hand. "We were just about to have tea if you'd care to join us."
"If you don't mind," Dr. Cain began, "we'd like to get situated in our rooms. We've got an event at the museum tonight and I, for one, would like a bit of down time to work on my lecture."
"You're in your usual room. I can give Miss Hunter the room next to yours, if you'd like."
He shook his head. "Perhaps she would be more comfortable across the hall with the view of the garden."
"As you wish, Joshua."
Teri followed closely behind as they climbed the stairs to the second floor. She was about to turn toward the long hallway when she realized they were climbing yet another flight. What she wouldn't give, she realized, for an elevator or even a bellman. Rather than voice her wishes, she hiked her carry-on higher up on her shoulder and tugged on the handle of her suitcase until the wheels gained purchase on the worn carpet. The next landing looked to be at least a half-mile away.
When they reached the third floor, Martha stopped outside the first room off the staircase and opened the door. "This is your room, Miss Hunter."
Dr. Cain, Teri realized, had already crossed the hallway and opened the door to the room just opposite hers. Teri took a short step forward. "Thank you."
"Bathroom is down the hall," Martha told her, the woman's simple statement stopping Teri dead in her tracks.
"Down the hall?" she asked. "You mean there's no bathroom in my suite?"
Martha chuckled heartily, her wrinkled cheeks jiggling and sagging like warm Jell-O. "Child, there's no suite in your suite, it's just a room. And, everyone shares the facilities." Nodding toward the end of the long hallway, she added, "The key hangs outside the door. You take it in with you, lock the door from the inside and try not to take longer than fifteen minutes."

Fun Fact: The idea for Eye of the Pharaoh came about following a trip to the Field Museum in Chicago. For the longest time afterward, I couldn't get the images of ancient Egypt out of my head. Then, out of the blue, I received a gift from a relative who had passed...a gorgeous necklace fashioned like an Egyptian collar. The late relative had no way of knowing about my recent fascination with Egypt so I took it as a sign. There was obviously a story inside me begging to come out.

The prodigal son is an awesome parable. It is a great way God showes us his grace. Think about it. The youngest son wants all his inheritance and he leaves the house. The father does not get mad at him or anything he just is concerned for him and wants him to come back home. So the youngest son is out hanging with prostitutes, drinking, gambling, doing all the things that he shouldnt do. Then he ran out of money and he had to start working and staying with the pigs. He was so embarrased to come back home but he did and when his father saw his youngest son instead of being upset at him he ran to him and put his arms around him and showed him how much he loved him. We do the same thing as the youngest sons. We go out into the world and take God for granted and have sex, drink, do all the things we shouldnt do. Then we are to embarrased to admit to it and we loose out on salvation. Well there is no need to be embarrased God is wating for us to come back home and when he see you he is not going to punish you he is going to put his arms around you and take you back in.

AGHARTI: "Change"
Label: Wormhole Death 2014
Review by: Urban "Wally" Wallstrom
The latest in a long line of female fronted metal acts since the start of the second wave of Goth and the likes of Nightwish. It's the rather typical line-up and vocal performances which obviously include soaring female vocals and the aggressive male backup growler. Agharti was formed in Croatia in the spring of 2009 and their musical influences including grunge, rock and all kinds of metal really. They've played as a support act for Epica and their first full album is released by Wormhole Death records in Italy.
"Change" contains keyboard oriented music from as far left field as Goth and Symphonic Metal (not far at all in other words), peace loving mantras from the likes of Gandhi, Mandela and Dala Lama, classical overtures, and no doubt millions of other things that will go unnoticed for now. It's the melodic alternative style that's sort of dynamic and balanced between personal experiences and social observations. If all this sounds too weird, try not to worry too much as it's certainly listenable and lead vocalist Tina Bukic is the strong and not quite as operatic singer as usual with bags of energy, charisma and attitude.
Favorite headbanging tracks (Mendacity, Rise Again, Words Unspoken, To A Friend, Awaken) are uplifting numbers with layers of symphonic keyboards by Ivana Mrduljas (also back-up vocals) and catchy choruses. They are sort of hidden away at #8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and the album could do with the 'Change' of track listing in my humble opinion. The only "problem" with Agharti, they'll remind you of all the acts in the same category: Within Temptation, Epica, Nightwish, etc. Obviously not a problem if you fancy another slice of the pie. Solid effort.
