With a sound influenced by Steely Dan, Sting and Stevie Wonder and lyrics inspired by the plight of the modern male, this is Straight On Red's debut...
Round 2
Rock - Easy Listening
Round 2 is (unsurprisingly) our second album, delivering more deliciously funky grooves and the usual jazzy overtones, but this time with a hint more 'pop' dare we say.
This time we've recorded 11 songs 9 of which are original (again all by Phil) with two covers: Time Is Running Out by Muse and the Aerosmith classic, Dream On, both of which we've given a funky makeover.
The originals cover a wide range of topics yet again, casting a sharp and sardonic eye on the plight, romantic and otherwise, of 21st century man, observing the humorous side of heartbreak, humiliation and misanthropy (we genuinely hope these make you smile!!).
The songs were again all recorded at our favourite studio, Univibe in Birmingham, engineered by Joel Spencer and with our producer, Bert Smorenburg at the helm. Bert then mixed all the tracks at Smoor Studios in Rotterdam, and they were mastered at Wisselord Studios.
A medium fast, funky groove with a Lydian harmony behind the melody. The fast tempo belies the regretful, mournful subject, yet shows that on reflection the protagonist has a sense of humour about falling in love with a wholly inappropriate person.
Inspired by an instantaneous desire for a complete opposite, and therefore doomed from the beginning due to complete incompatibility.
From the first glance, in the south of France
Guess I led myself a merry dance
I aimed a bit high, you were a long shot
Out of my range, girl - You're everything I'm not
Ignored all facts, papered over cracks
Chose to skip past your bad i-Pod tracks
Delusion sped by me, I missed my blind spot
I've been overtaken - You're everything I'm not
In my head, every word you said
Implied you would head, directly to my bed
Truth is every sign, it sadly was benign
I thought things were fine, then stood on love's land mine
Loved your wild side and your clothes tie-dyed
Turned a blind eye to the drugs you plied
Always so fearful, my brain it might rot
Happily spaced out - you're everything I'm not

Thinkin' 'bout what coulda been
Sides to you I woulda seen
But you trust your selfish gene
Shoulda thought much more downstream
Can't see what I coulda done
What woulda made you think I'm fun?
Still surprised how fast you run
Shoulda read you more John Donne
Loved you, I coulda
Earned you, I woulda
Paid you, I shoulda
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, coulda, shoulda, woulda,
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, coulda, shoulda, woulda...

The song describes the wedding day of a guy who really doesn't want to be there, and this realisation dawns on him as he stands in the church. It's a moment of utter panic, which is belied by the downtempo vibe.
It's every man's worst nightmare!!!
Dawn breaks, high stakes,
Life-long mistakes
Cold feet, can't eat
Beat a retreat
New shoes, full pews
Can he refuse?
Fall guy in black tie
Speaks vows, thinks lies
Although you know that all will smile
All you can see's a blind aisle
Deep flaws beneath gauze
Worse still - the in-laws
No fan of her clan
Should be best man
Although you know that all will smile
All you can see's a blind aisle
A blind aisle

This is a song about Advertising and its power over all of us, how it dupes us into self-delusion and will do anything to get us to buy. Ultimately all of its promises are empty...'Rolled In Glitter' actually comes from the phrase 'you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter'!!!
Sitting captive, open minded
Unaware you'll soon be blinded
Stay with us the anchor pleads
Now bear witness to your needs
Nubile girls you think are you
Even though you're forty two
Chiselled jaws with perfect stubble
You forget your chin is double
Part with cash you'll soon be slicker
Truth be told it's rolled in glitter
Faster, further, finer, fitter
Smaller, softer, smoother, slicker
Lighter, tighter, brighter, whiter
Longer, stronger, deeper, cheaper
Cleaner, greener, leaner, meaner
Thicker, sicker
All the hot girls and the cute boys
They're just used as subtle ploys
You know full well they just sell stuff
You kid yourself you'll call their bluff
All those folks who live on twitter
Need to know it's rolled in glitter

We all have a 'Wish List' which is longer than it needs to be, created by a world in which advertising and social conformity tells us how we should be living our lives. This means almost everybody wishes that their lives were other than what they are, despite usually having everything they need. We all need to learn to want what we have.
Having lived a life in advertising, I'm aware how much modern life has created a 'Wish List' for everyone that's too long and unnecessary. This is my statement which is intended to help me, and maybe others, to realise we usually have all that we need and should learn to simply want what we have.
All wanting, entitled
Desires are unbridled
More money, more fast cars
More time in sick health spas
Cool partners, fast broadband
No end to our demand
No sense of what's plenty
Our full lives are empty
The poor wish they were rich
The single wish to wed
The rich want happiness
The wed wish they were dead!!
I wish we could enshrine
What we have is just fine
The wish list is too long
Have it all? You're all wrong!
The poor wish they were rich
The single wish to wed
The rich want happiness
The wed wish they were dead!!

2000 and later
This tells the story of a guy who plucks up the courage to ask a girl out, does so by leaving a voicemail, then convinces himself her answer is going to be negative. He then spends 24 hours fretting, only for her to eventually call back and say yes, much to his surprise and understandable euphoria.
I never expect girls to say yes when I ask them out, and spend most of my time convincing myself they'll say no....hence the extraordinarily pleasant shock when some say yes!!
Now's the time it must be done
Refuse to do one more dry run
Fingers slip as you exhale
Will it be her or her voicemail
Feelings left out in the void
Will she be pleased or just annoyed
Deed is done no going back
The issue's now what I might lack
Chances are at best so-so
I just know that it's a no
Why would she be in to you
Don't think your name's her next tattoo
There's no way she's gonna call
She's bound to prefer someone tall
Cards are bleak from my tarot
I just know that it's a no
Evening ends your silent phone
Has not conveyed her dulcet tone
You toss and turn and turn and toss
Convince yourself she's no great loss
Tomorrow brings another day
Oh sod it all I might go gay
Then it comes through on your phone
Just one red dot the source unknown
All that hope that you supressed
Now explodes as she says YES!!
She said yes!
She said yes!

On 16th May 2007, in an area of Sweet Chestnut Castanea sativa forest at an altitude of c. 600 m below Mount Olympus, the highest deciduous woodland on the Greek island of Lesvos, I found three counter-singing male Common Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita. The species may breed sporadically in the area (Brooks 1998), although otherwise it is described in BWP as breeding in Greece only in the northern mainland mountains bordering Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria, where there are several hundred pairs of P. c. collybita (hereafter `collybita'). To my ear, it was immediately obvious that these birds' songs were dissimilar to those of both P. c. abietinus (or at least to birds of that race breeding in Finland, where I have heard them) and collybita, and I recorded details as follows. creamy-coloured. The birds' plumage seemed to be within the range of variation of abietinus and hinted at some of the features of Mountain Chiffchaff P. sindianus lorenzii. On purely geographical grounds, it would be expected that chiffchaffs breeding on Lesvos would be of the form P. c. brevirostris, described by Kirwan et al. (2008) as endemic to Turkey. That form is not, however, universally accepted as a valid race in its own right, while there is debate over its appearance and variability. Roselaar (1995) speculated that it might not prove separable from collybita, while Watson (1962) suggested that it may represent an intermediate form between abietinus and lorenzii (and Lars Svensson, in Dubois & Duquet 2008, suggested that brevirostris is

text: Foodbanks entered New Zealand's voluntary welfare sector in the early 1980s when structural adjustment programmes, introduced by the fourth Labour Government, resulted in an increase in poverty amongst certain groups in New Zealand society and concurrently placed greater responsibility on the voluntary sector for the provision of welfare services. While previous foodbank research has focused on examining the issues related to the utilisation, development and growth of this voluntary welfare provider throughout New Zealand, this thesis aims to take such enquiry a step further by analysing the effectiveness of Palmerston North foodbanks' development practice in the alleviation of poverty in New Zealand society. It achieves this task through the application of a theoretical model utilising contemporary development theories and approaches to the data obtained through fieldwork with four Palmerston North Foodbanks. These are: the Salvation Army Foodbank, the Palmerston North Foodbank, the Saint Vincent de Paul Foodbank and the Saint Mary's Foodbank. The conclusions deduced from this process will show firstly, that development theory (traditionally reserved for the analysis of development practice in developing countries) is appropriate to the analysis of Palmerston North foodbanks' development practice and secondly, that although the majority of these foodbanks display some features of the community development mode of development practice referenced in the theoretical model, the mode of development practice most dominantly used is a relief mode. This relief mode of development practice is ineffectual in the long term relief of poverty. The challenge issued is for foodbanks to move towards the articulation of an alternative development mode of development practice which seeks not only to effectively alleviate the very real poverty experienced by foodbank clients, but also to sustain this alleviation.

Webmasters and some marketers doubt that the press release is still an effective marketing tool for businesses. A few experts predicted its premature death. Is it still valuable in the modern PR campaign?
Written by Dorothy Piamonte
So far, releases have evolved and served as an effective tool for businesses in the last several years. From getting the attention of the press to earn media coverage and being a benefit for search engine optimization (SEO). And today releases still serve as a tool to gain publicity. But what about the future?
The Press Release Today
We can't really predict the future of releases, but to give you some insight, let's go through their position today. There are two sides to the story. Some experts believe that it is dying while others see it is still a useful tool in PR.
The Positive Story
Although it is deemed to be old-fashioned, it is still valuable in the modern PR. As people consume their news on different channels like the television, the Internet, and the radio, releases are still great communication and marketing tactic. However, not all releases are effective. Only newsworthy news get the attention of the press. Releases are a handy tool for sharing newsworthy updates about your products or event. Another great news is that journalists still use it when looking for story ideas to write. Those who are running out of time to verify details or are in a rush to write a story while beating the deadline still refer to it. Here are the reasons why releases remain effective for some people: It is an excellent tool to get coverage. There's a flood of information on the Internet today. It can be tricky for the media to choose the news that stands out, with television, radio, social media, and the internet. With this flood of information, journalists may also feel overwhelmed. However, a release makes it easy for them to pick the right one. Although they receive almost a hundred of pitches every day, it is quick for them to make a decision which one to choose. A well-written release that is newsworthy and relevant and follows the standard format can easily get their attention. Sending a copy to them directly is a professional way to reach out to them. They love this strategy which is personalized to them. It makes their job easier as they can just browse through the pile of emails they receive to choose the most relevant that matches their beat.
A single release can be sent out to different sites, locations, and journalists. It can even reach people you never thought you could through the social media. If you use a press release distribution site, your message is sent to different aggregators. Once sent, it reaches tens of thousands of media who can be exposed to your news. The chance to earn media coverage is higher.
- It helps your SEO. A few years back, releases got a bad reputation after some companies used them for Black Hat SEO. However, when done right, a release that is optimized with the right keyword can still land you a good place in the search engine result pages (SERPs). It can make your content visible on top of the searches. Just make sure to choose the most relevant keywords that your audience is using to find content.
- It helps build your brand. Releases are still good if you want to earn authority and credibility in your niche. Well-written content published on different sites, your website and on your social media accounts, can help show that you are a well-respected brand. If your goal is to strengthen your brand, it is a great way to make this happen. Produce great content that warrants publicity.
- It helps manage your reputation. If your brand is involved in a controversy or legalities, issuing a release is still effective to set the record straight. By acknowledging your involvement and taking actions if needed, you are showing your audiences that you are a reputable brand. Issuing it to announce that you are taking actions for the problem is a great way to protect your reputation. It is a great tool to present facts. Quotes are useful for journalists who are directly pulling quotations from releases.
- It is evolving. Today's releases are evolving according to the changing needs of the audience. One reason why it is still effective is it is incorporated with multimedia like images, infographics, videos, and other elements. With these elements, it becomes more relevant to them. Content with video or images gets more reads and shares than content with no visual elements. One reason why releases are still effective today is that they are flexible.
- It helps build your online image. There are many ways your audiences can interact with you. A release is an excellent way to build and shape your image online. Why? A release is written in a factual way, where people can learn your stance and insights. People can view you what you want them to see you since you can control the message in a release. It is a great tool that can help you manage your online presence where it can be so quick and easy for anyone to just write anything about your brand.
- It can be re-purposed. Releases don't die after they are published. They can be turned into a blog, a social media post, an article and more. After you earn publicity, publish your release on your own site, blog and social media accounts to replicate its effect and make it last longer.
The Negative Story
Several experts argue about the effectiveness of releases as a PR tactic. In a study conducted and published by Shift Communications in 2016, it was reported that releases don't work anymore. In 2016, there were a total of 136, 356 releases generated that converts to 1, 092 per day. The result revealed that median content metrics that gave an insight into its effectiveness. The median MozTrust score (how trusted a URL is, 0-10 scale) is 0. The median MozRank score (how well ranked a URL is, 0-10 scale) is 0. The median number of clicks is 0. The median number of inbound links to releases is 1. The median number of social media shares: is 2. The site reported that no one is clicking on releases anymore and no one is sharing it either. It claimed that since Google has changed its algorithm, releases don't have an SEO value anymore. A release is seen ineffective to gain SEO authority since Google devalued the content a few years back. Moreover, in terms of cost, it is costly for companies to spend $200 to $1,200 per release if it doesn't engage the target audience and doesn't provide SEO value. The same study suggested not to issue it anymore because there is no logical reason to do it. First, no one is reading it, second, no audience engages, and the third reason is that it provides no search marketing benefit at all. It revealed that investing in the strategy is a waste of money because a company doesn't get any return-on-investment (ROI). Rather than investing in it, they should invest in writing original content, social media content or syndication.
Releases are valued useful by the majority of businesses. You can check services like Newswire for distribution services. Releases are valuable for building a brand's credibility because they are viewed as trusted sources of information when announcing big changes and developments in a company. When your news gets published on top newswires, your brand awareness is improved. Furthermore, a release is rich in information. Perhaps, there is no other content available to everyone that gives this complete of information. It offers a boilerplate that tells significant details about the brand. It promotes the message of the brand, and what it is up to. You'll not find any content as relevant and concise as this that offers this kind of information. Issuing a release provides a great impact on your brand. Well-written content can provide you with media opportunities and other developments. You can be offered a collaboration, more sales and an influx of site traffic. Since you control the message in a release, it is a great way to provide the audience with a message on how you want to be perceived. If you want to be seen as an expert or authority, it is easy to accomplish this through this type of content. No one can predict the future of releases. However, if you continue to write engaging and informative pieces, they will be valuable.

Im building a 8th Warhammer 40k Necron army using Matched play.
I have my detachment set up right but I can only add Core rule book Stratagems. I've added the Stratagems to the detachment and even tried to add them to the warlord but that didn't work. Is there something I'm missing like a setting or a file? Can I make and add my own Stratagems? Is there a walk through to better understand the program?

This is an old revision of the document!
Work in Progress.
ToDoList can store configuration data in either a common .INI file, or in the Registry. This is determined at by a user prompt at installation time.
The .ini file consists of sections and name/value pairs (also called key/values). The following is an example of the beginning of such a file:
[[keyboardshortcuts|KeyboardShortcuts]] NumItems=67 ShowCommandIDs=0
[[tools|Tools]] ToolCount=7
[[preferences|Preferences]] AddFilesToMRU=1 AddLoggedTimeToTimeSpent=1 AddLoggedTimeUnits=72
Most users don't care about the contents of the file, only its location. For a new installation, the default configuration file is ToDoList.ini, in the root folder along with the .exe and .dll files. At startup, the ToDoList.exe tests to see if its folder location is writable by trying to create a temporary file. If the folder is *not* writable then the .ini file will be saved to
<user> \Application Data\Abstractspoon\ToDoList
Some users save ToDoList into the Program Files folder, but this is not recommended. Depending on how the application is being run and system-specific permissions settings, Windows may transparently save the file to a different folder:
<user> \AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ToDoList That can be confusing. The reason for this is that Windows is a multi-user environment, and most configuration data is unique per-user. So apps should never write configuration data to the one and only "Program Files" path because that's shared by all users. However, installing ToDoList under Program Files is a choice made by individuals (and completely understood) but as seen here there are technical consequences for that decision. To help with this common problem, Microsoft made it so that when an individual user runs an app that tries to save configuration data in the Program Files path, it may (depending on permissions) transparently save the file under the AppData VirtualStore folder. That avoids a collision of different user settings, and while useful, it's also confusing to those of us who just have one person per system.
After the first execution of the application, the file can be moved to any location. To use a config file from a non-default location, you need to specify where your file is in the command-line using the -i switch. For example:
C:\SpecialApps\ToDoList\ToDoList.exe -i "C:\Users\me\Documents\Tasks\ToDoListLive.ini"
That command line would usually be set as the Target in a desktop shortcut. Some users simultaneously run different versions of ToDoList (different executable path) with different .tdl files (as defined by .ini files), simply by clicking different shortcuts.
Some sections are broken up simply for convenience. For example, there are sections for Preferences, Preferences\AttribUse, Preferences\Colors, etc. And there are other sections which are based on a template, where each section is like the others but unique in its own way. For example"
[[keyboardshortcuts\item00|KeyboardShortcuts\Item00]] CmdID=57670 Shortcut=112
[[keyboardshortcuts\item01|KeyboardShortcuts\Item01]] CmdID=32934 Shortcut=131142
Those sections both define shortcuts. All KeyboardShortcuts sections look the same.
Notice that the KeyboardShortcuts section above defines NumItems=67. Looking into a .ini file you might see the sections listed like this:
[[keyboardshortcuts\item55|KeyboardShortcuts\Item55]] [[keyboardshortcuts\item56|KeyboardShortcuts\Item56]] [[keyboardshortcuts\item57|KeyboardShortcuts\Item57]] [[pos|Pos]] [[version|Version]] [[settings|Settings]] [[findtasks|FindTasks]] [[findtasks\searches|FindTasks\Searches]] [[updates|Updates]] [[keyboardshortcuts\item58|KeyboardShortcuts\Item58]] [[keyboardshortcuts\item59|KeyboardShortcuts\Item59]]
The order of the sections and the name/value pairs is not important. And sections do not need to be grouped together. This may be significant when looking in this file for sections and keys.

Imagine you are an organization trying to go expand locally or regionally (Africa). You have carefully planned how your business will enter the new market, have developed the right product, and believe you can offer it for a price that will be profitable. The next component of the regional marketing mix involves communicating your offerings to the customer.
How an organization chooses to promote their products and services can have a direct and substantial impact on sales. There is much thought and consideration that needs to go into how money spent on advertising and promotions will convert into revenue for the company.
Ignite Trade Africa helps you to learn before creating, implementing and measuring your promotional strategy. We also do promotions for products and services here in Africa.

Slowly but surely getting caught up. Don't know if I'll be able to get all 50 up before Christmas, but hope to have them done by the end of my IndieGoGo campaign at least. As they say, the best laid plans… or is it just me who always has things happen to disrupt my long term plans?
Anyway, let's have a look at my new hair pins. I made a bunch of these for the craft fairs, so there will be more added in the future, but for now I've got these five up in my Etsy shop.
Any of these can be chosen as your free item for a $5 contribution to my IndieGoGo campaign.
After Christmas, I'll also be doing some posts detailing a list of products you can choose from for each of the contribution levels. Uh oh, there I go making plans again! 😛

Smart Pills That Track Your Health From the Inside
The advancement of technology is very evident, and the natural step in this advancement, is here; wearable technology. Including smart contact lenses, implantable sensors, and even ingestible pills that track your health from inside your body are not far off; digital health is the next step.
Created by Proteus Digital Health, the digital health feedback system utilises a tiny ingestible sensor that patients need to ingest with their medication. The sensor is made of ingredients that are already found in foods. Once ingested, the sensor communicates with a wearable technology on the patient in the form of a patch that the patient wears externally. The patch then sends information to your synced smart device. The ingestible sensor is powered by your body and your stomach fluids complete the power source and your body in turns transmits a unique number generated by the sensor.
Tracking everything, from heart rate, to body temperature, this ingestible has no antenna or battery. The body-worn patch relays and captures all your body's physiologic responses.
The ingestible system received European regulatory approval in 2010, while the sensor technology received FDA market clearance in 2012, as a medical device for co-ingested applications.

I spend a lot of time on Tumblr, where hoaxes and satire run rampant and are often confused with fact. Therefore, I am skeptical when scrolling down the homepage, lest I join the league of Internet fools by falling for an unsubstantiated rumor. When I saw blogs linking to a promotional video of Ma...

A few years ago, advertising executive Frankie Layton heard a worrying statistic. In 1900, the plastic to plankton ratio in the ocean was 0:1. In 2000, that ratio had climbed to 6:1. And by 2010, seven years ago, the plastic to plankton ratio was officially 60:1.
Frankie wanted to do something, to start something, it took a couple of years for the idea to take a proper shape. The result was Dirt—an environmental grassroots company that makes sustainable and ethical clothes detergent.
"I'd just moved in with my best friend who has quite sensitive skin, so for the first time in my life I was really thinking about what I was purchasing for our laundry," Frankie says. "I wanted something that worked, that didn't irritate, that was affordable and always available, and most importantly, that considered the environmental impact from a packaging point of view as well as a product point of view."
Dirt runs along the same lines as Who Gives A Crap, the wildly successful toilet paper social enterprise. Take a product that people don't really care or think about, and give them an environmentally sustainable alternative. Bam—all you have to do is switch up your purchasing habits.
Here's how Dirt works. Most laundry powders you grab at Coles are filled with stuff called micro-plastics. These things get washed down the drain and into the ocean, where they never break down. A lot of marine animals confuse them with food, and they work their way into the food chain (sometimes, back up to the flake on your plate).
Dirt takes a different tack. Frankie worked with scientists and chemical experts to design a laundry liquid that kicks the sh*t out of stains, but doesn't clog up the ocean. The formula is plant-based, and packaged in aluminium, which means 90% less plastic, compared to the major brands.
Bonus points: 50% of Dirt's profits go straight back into the oceans, via the famous Ocean Cleanup project, which is due to kick off in the next couple of years.
In 2017, living green is all about small incremental changes. Swapping regular TP for the recycled stuff. Switching to veggo a couple of days a week. Cycling to work, instead of fighting traffic on the freeway. Little choices, but they add up to a big difference.

Rajnath assures maximum assistance lAssam gets Rs 286 cr
Guwahati/TURA: Announcing Rs 286 crore immediate Central assistance to flood-affected Assam, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday asked the Meghalaya government to submit a memorandum for rebuilding exercise.
"I have told the Chief Minister (Mukul Sangma) to submit a memorandum to the Centre, after which an inter-ministerial team will visit to assess the damages. I have assured to provide maximum assistance to the Meghalaya government," Singh told reporters after making an aerial survey of flood-hit areas of Assam and Garo Hills.
He also asked the Meghalaya government to utilise the state disaster response fund available with the State. "The state government has Rs 123 crore, I have asked Sangma to spend that fund. The next installment will be released immediately, we have written to the Finance Ministry, which is ready for sanction," he added.
The Home Minister, who was accompanied by Minister of State In-charge Sports and Youth Affairs, Sarbananda Sonowal besides Joint Secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs (North East), Shambu Singh, assured that both Assam and Meghalaya will get financial assistance from the Centre to undertake rebuilding exercise.
He said Union ministers of state Kiren Rijiju and Sarbananda Sonowal had already made visits to flood-hit Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh last week at his instructions and reported back with all details.
He informed that as per the latest figures available, the death toll due to the recent flood in Assam was 40, in Meghalaya 55 while 66 died in Arunachal Pradesh.
For Assam, total of Rs 670 crore will be provided by the Centre in terms of assistance, of which Rs 286 crore has been sanctioned for now while the rest amount has already been released.
During the review meeting, Sangma sought assistance from the Centre to raise a dedicated battalion of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) in Meghalaya. He also urged the Home Minister to take up the issue of connectivity in terms of telecommunication and mobile with his Bangladesh counterpart.
Other issues raised during the meeting included the need to improve communication and connectivity in the state during times of crisis. Sangma urged the visiting Home Minister to ensure that the matter was taken up in a serious manner.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister has urged all the line departments to come up with a detailed report of the disaster to be submitted to the Central Government. He assured that in the meantime funds available with the state would be released to all the line departments as per their requirements. (With inputs from Our Guwahati and Tura correspondents)

Renew your Christmas Spirit
For various reasons, people lose their enthusiasm for the holidays. It's not really surprising given how commercialized and stressful Christmas can be these days! Think about why you've lost your Christmas spirit, then try rediscovering it with these strategies.
Problem: Christmas has become a chore
You feel you have to do so much you can't relax and enjoy yourself.
Solution: Simplify
Focus on what Christmas should really be about. Cut out non-essential tasks and get more efficient in doing what you have to.
- Go to just one place for most of your shopping. Pick a department store that has a wide range of nice items within your budget and offers free gift-wrapping. Even better, do your Christmas shopping while doing your grocery shopping.
- Cook as little as possible. My grandmother made everything from main dish to dessert when we were kids. We enjoyed the feast, but she didn't! Focus your efforts on making just a few special items, then purchase the rest or ask others to contribute. And avoid cooking all in one day—start preparations the night before or even earlier
- Don't try to make it to every event. Decide which activities and events would be most meaningful and enjoyable for your family and how many are manageable for you to go to.
Problem: You can't stand the clutter Christmas causes!
Your Christmas shopping is taking up too much space, especially since you bought many extra items, just in case. Getting gifts is not so fun when you know unnecessary presents and their wrappings will just add to your clutter.
Solution: Head it off.
- Communicate with family and friends. Tell family and close friends you're having trouble managing clutter and prefer consumable gifts such as food and toiletries.
- Surprise your kids. Fill your kids' stockings mainly with consumable items like snacks and cute school supplies like erasers, pencils, and crayons; or nice useful things like socks and hankies printed with their favorite cartoon characters. This will help keep down the number of little toys scattered in the house.
- Recycle. Reuse gift bags as soon as possible.
Problem: You're not into partying.
The social pressures of mingling and putting on your best face have gotten taxing, more so if you're an introvert.
Solution: Only connect.
If hosting and going to gatherings seems a chore, maybe it's because you've forgotten their purpose is to reconnect with family and friends. Stick to gatherings of people who mean the most to you, then make the most of these occasions by doing these:
- Revive happy memories. Share your photo albums, have a slideshow, use photo- frame ornaments.
- Emphasize activities rather than gifts. Have a bonding activity planned when you host a gathering. If you're a guest, you can help by bringing a game to play or a video to watch.
Problem: You feel forced to give.
Maybe giving gifts is just not your love language. But everyone expects it—friends, family, charities!
Solution: Give to a charity of your choice.
Giving to people in our social circle can easily devolve to obligation. So can giving to all those soliciting for charities at this time of the year. So you won't turn into Scrooge:
- Donate to a cause that is close to your heart. Select an advocacy you'd like to support and focus on that. Feel free to say no to others.
- Try to personally bring donations. Seeing the conditions and the gratitude of orphans or indigent seniors or whoever you bring your gifts to will make giving more meaningful.
Problem: You want the kids to feel the magic, but you've lost it.
You think of the holiday as a time to make your kids' dreams come true. Sadly, you are so stressed out playing Santa you fail to model the proper Christmas spirit.
Solution: Stay happy while making your kids happy.
- Tone down the Santa myth. Avoid telling the children Santa will give them whatever they want. There's nothing in the early St. Nicholas stories that says the jolly old saint was supposed to fulfill all the children's Christmas wishes. Should Santa eclipse the parents, anyway? The child values parental love more than that of a mysterious magical individual, after all. Consider having the biggest and best present marked from you the parents and label another as Santa's.
- Watch or discuss meaningful Christmas shows with them. Videos are helpful in occupying your children while you rush to get your tasks done. If you can't watch with them, show a movie you've seen and talk about it afterwards. It will definitely revive your Christmas spirit and bring you closer. Look for your favorite kiddie Christmas specials. A Charlie Brown Christmas, the first Punky Brewster Christmas episode, and the various Sesame Street Christmas features are just a few heartwarming shows that can be found online. Home Alone 2 is a good Christmas film to watch with school-age kids and almost any variation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, including those featuring the Muppets and the Ghostbusters is a good reminder of the true spirit of Christmas. With your tweens and teens, try watching The Nativity Story and either (or both) versions of Little Women.

The next couple of weeks will be a busy time for the Fort Myers Beach Art Association. The "Art Divine" show is running through Jan. 9 when the open house for the "Winter Open" takes place.
The "Art Divine" exhibit is the association's annual showing for paintings at $150 and under. The show has no judging or awards and once this sale is over the works shown won't be allowed to be exhibited at the gallery for another year under house rules.
"It's all original artwork. We don't allow prints," publicity director Pam Flaherty said. Most of the artists are local or seasonal residents.
Article Photos
Pam Flaherty is a board member of the Fort Myers Beach Art Association, its publicity director and is also an artist whose work is featured in the organization's current "Art Divine" show at their gallery located at 3030 Shell Mound Boulevard.
The association has been active on Fort Myers Beach since 1951 and the building was constructed in 1968, making the group one of the community's foundations.
For a small town like Fort Myers Beach, the art association is quite large with approximately 180 members.
"This is sort of a unique sale because the artists get 100 percent of what is sold," Flaherty said. The show has been popular so far. Every time a piece gets bought, it gets replaced by the artists. There are dozens of artworks currently on display from approximately three dozen artists hanging on the walls of the gallery.
Article Map
"We have regulars who come this time of year because they know they can get a deal," she said. The cost "really depends on the size and the quality of the frame."
Pam said she got involved in art after her daughter Katherine went to college and left her art supplies at home.
"I didn't want to donate them because I knew how much we spent on them," she said.
She took a class with Sue Pink when she moved from Virginia to Fort Myers Beach and now has her own works shown at the gallery.
"I fell in love. I fell in love with the (art) community," she said.
Her husband, Tom Flaherty, is the president of the board. He also runs the website though he is not an advanced artist like his wife. "We're not really competitive artists," he said of the association. Mrs. Flaherty said the art organization is "very nurturing" and "a good support group."
On Jan. 23, the association will hold a fundraiser featuring four artists for its scholarship giveaway to students from town who will be taking art classes in college. Last year, the association gave out $3,800 in scholarships, Flaherty said.
The Winter Open will feature new paintings and will run from Jan. 13 through Feb. 6.

A clutch bag is a girls best friend. I did just switch out diamonds for a clutch bag which is debatable, but nevertheless, it doesn't make the statement any less true does it ladies?
Any fellow woman will know that her bag is her trusty companion. If we were without her (i have chosen to call gender the bag as a 'she'), we would truly feel lost. Us ladies, tend to carry our whole life in our bags. We are ready for any scenario, event, mishap, or whatever life chooses to throw in our way – even though we inevitably end up forgetting at least one thing.
But when it comes to our evening clutches, we find ourselves in a bit of a predicament. We are physically restricted in how much we can practically squeeze into our small bags, but at the same time we want to make sure that we get all the absolute essentials in there.
Although Christmas is still a while off (but trust me, it'll be here before you know it), I feel like the start of Autumn always brings along that party season vibe with it. So, if you are already getting your festive preparations underway or you're perhaps just curious to see what my top 6 clutch essentials are, then keep reading!
the non-negotiator's
1. Phone
A bit of an obvious one here I'll admit, but it's one of the most important! Can we ever go without our phones? Make sure that it's fully charged before you leave the house so you won't miss any good selfie opportunities.
2. Small Purse
I don't know about you, but my regular every day purse is rather large. After all, it has to fit all my cards, spare change, loyalty cards, id and usually a handful of old receipts too. So when I'm headed out for the evening, I always pop just the essentials in a smaller purse to ensure that my clutch still closes!
the emergency kit
3. Body Tape (a.k.a boobie tape)
Although not quite necessary for the outfit that I had on for this particular evening, in previous occasions I've found boob tape to be an absolute life saver. If you're wearing a strapless top or a low V dress, these handy double-sided sticky tape will stop you from giving anyone the accidental slip and save you the embarrassment, especially if it's a work do!
4. Hair Bobble
If you like to party and dance hard, then a hair bobble is a lovely treat for the end of the night. When you want to slip your hair up and feel the cold breeze on your neck, then you'll be thankful that you bought this handy fella with you. You will always find me sporting an up-do halfway through a night out.
the beauty essentials
5. Pressed Powder
The pressed powder is a savior to save us from the dreaded (and unfortunately expected) sweaty forehead. Choose either a translucent powder or a foundation powder in your shade to top up during the night to keep the oil at bay.
6. Perfume
Perfume instantly lifts your mood in the second of a spritz. And who doesn't love to smell good? The purchase of a small, travel friendly bottle in your favourite scent is an essential for every girl on a night out. My smelly of choice is YSL's Black Opium, the perfect musky, sexy and seductive evening scent.
If anyone is on the hunt to find the perfect clutch bag for the festive season (or any evening occasion), then you should definitely check out English brand Mimi and Thomas. They have such a large selection of stylish and modern bags for any woman looking for her perfect companion to compliment her evening attire.
When they got in touch to kindly gift me one of their bags, this nude/blush clutch with gold studded trimming was an instant win with me. The bag is also the perfect size to fit all my essentials into as it's slightly larger than any of my other clutches.
If any bag on the website grabs your attention, then I have a 20% discount code exclusively for my readers! So if you're treating yourself – or perhaps even treating someone else (Christmas present, hint hint) – then be sure to sure the code "atelier20aw" at the checkout!
Clutch: Mimi and Thomas
Dress: Topshop
Have I missed any products that you think are your top evening essentials? I'd love to hear what they are in the comments!

If you think that you can't find love online, think again. At least one in five new relationships today started as the result of the couple meeting through the use of online dating sites on internet, and that percentage continues to grow. Meeting in bars, blind dates and joining clubs just for the chance to meet someone are quickly becoming things of the past as today's computer-savvy Australian looks to the Internet to find love.
Like all industries with an online presence, online dating sites have gone through growing pains through the years to get to the respectable stage at they are today. There are general online dating sites for people who are very open to the type of person they want to meet, as well as dating sites tailored to a specific niche. Typical specialized websites include singles over 40 or 50, single parents, members of a particular religious faith, specific ethnic group and many more.
Dating Sites Could Be Great Fun
If you are ready to join the fun world of online dating sites, look over the following tips to help make your experience more enjoyable and successful.
Setting Up Your Online Dating Sites Profile
After you have located dating sites that you feel comfortable with, the next step is to set up your online dating profile to be viewed by other members. This step is very important and not one that you should rush to complete. Most dating sites help you to get started by prompting you to fill in some basic information, such as your first name, your age, your occupation and other tidbits of that nature. However, when it comes to describing who you are and what you are looking for, it is all on you.
When describing yourself, try to use descriptive adjectives while staying away from clichés. If you don't know what to say about yourself, ask a close friend how he or she views you. You want to remain positive, while avoiding sounding boastful and too good to be true.
On the same token, when writing about the type of person you are looking to meet, keep it upbeat. If there are certain characteristics that you are hoping to avoid, try using humor to describe them rather than just making a list of personal qualities that you don't like.
Draft an Attractive Tag Line On Online Dating Sites
Finally, come up with an eye-catching title for your profile that will make others want to read it. Try to make it unique enough so that it isn't something online daters have read many times previously. You also want to highlight your profile with a photograph of yourself that is a smiling, close-up snapshot reflective of your personality.
Meeting Your Date for the First Time
You've set up your profile and have been talking with another member who you really like. Great! Now it's time to meet him or her. If you have not been on a date in years, don't panic. Just keep the following tips in mind for a great first date experience.
Meet Your Potential Date Partner Through Dating Sites
Always arrange to meet in a public location for your first meeting through dating sites online. You don't know this person yet, and it is better to be safe than to regret letting him or her know where you live. You should let family or friends know your plans and agree to dial them up once you have arrived home.
Once you are on your date, try to relax and let your true personality shine through. If you are pretentious and only trying to impress, your date will pick up on that quickly. Regardless of where your date takes place, you should not overindulge in alcohol at the risk of it impairing your better judgment.
If the date does well and you want to meet again, you will have the opportunity to get to know one and let your guard down a bit. However, it is best to be cautious until you really know someone whom you mate at dating sites.

WATCH: 26 years later and Madonna's Sex book is still breaking rules
One thing you can never say about Madonna is that she's boring. Far from it.
During her illustrious pop career, the singer has managed to turn the music industry up side down.
One of her biggest career accomplishments surely must be the release of her singles Erotica and Justify My Love. Just before releasing the sexually-loaded videos, she famously quipped that she wouldn't take her clothes off for a whole year, "except when I'm in the shower."
That didn't last long...
In 1992, her Sex book was the most talked about photobook in decades. Madonna teamed up with one of the world's most successful fashion photographers, Steven Meisel to produce a series of photo essays - each with a different sexual theme.
To date, it is the the largest-grossing illustrated book of all time.
But according to abebooks.com, Sex is not actually the rarest or most valuable book by the Queen of Pop. In 2003, Steven Klein and Madonna worked together on a multi media performance art piece which resulted in a limited edition (1 000 copies) hand bound coffee table book entitled X-STaTIC Pro=CeSS.

- Description
DetailsThe Byerly BP is the best cross over in the Byerly range feeling equally at home at the cable park or behind the boat. With its carbon stringers this board is stiff but will also flex and pop back. The Carbon stringers giver a pop on the relaese from the the wake or the kicker. The Carbon ring sidewalls and sintered base make the Byerly BP ideal for the cable park. Add the Byerly System boot to the equation and you have an awesome set up ready to hit either the cable or the wake.

Creative ideas for Ancient Greece
I'd love to hear your ideas for teaching Ancient Greece and Rome to 6th graders. I'm always looking for creative ways to teach ancient civilizations, and make this topic relevant.
Looking forward to reading your ideas.
Thanks in advance!
These are my favorite to teach! I tr to hit the following:
Daily life
For Greece, we hit the gods big time. We discuss the origin story of the 15 big gods and read lots of mythology. I used to have students choose a god to do a report on, but it got a little hard when they'd pick Aphrodite or Zeus, etc, and end up with a lot of research related to multiple lovers, sex, etc. I stopped the reports because of that. They also write their own myths. I have a simplified version of the Odyseey and Thr Iliad, which my students like to act out (to a certain extent--we don't act out the killings ;)). I use a lot of foldables for kids to take notes on and organize the topics. I also have a few reader's theatre scripts, which you can google. The kids really enjoy those. We watch short videos from Discovery and Learn360 about different philosophers and Alexander the Great.
For Rome, we reenact the Republis form of government to "vote" on classroom issues, and then compare to the Greek's democracy system. then compare to our modern government system in the US. I don't do as much with the gods except to compare to Greek gods and look at how they changed the names/personalities. We study gladiator games and compare to Hunger Games and even modern sports.
I will look when I get to my computer to find the foldable and links the Scholastic books I use. They are great!
creative competition
We did a creative group competition that we found online. We divided the students into groups from various cities such as Athens and Sparta. The groups had to come up with a cheer, a flag, and costumes that would go with their assigned area. We had a game day where the various groups competed in the Olympics. We had a parade to the Olympics so that we could see all the costumes and flags. The kids loved this event and learned a lot as they prepared for the competition.
Here are the foldables I use (I found them online years ago, I didn't create them!) Scroll to the end of each document to find the printables!
These are great resources, if you can find a copy of them. Years ago I bought them as ebooks from Scholastic.
I have a god project that the kids do where they create a facebook page for their god or goddess. The page is done on posterboard and must have a profile picture. They have to display the likes and dislikes of their god, where they live, who their friends are as well as a couple of "what's on your mind," with comments from other gods and goddesses. I also have them come up with a song or a theme that might fit this god/goddess. On the sides they must have adds that one might see in Ancient Greece. Some of my kids came up with Walagora, for all shopping needs, wine adds, olive oil adds, and other really creative things. They must also do a paper to go along with their project to explain more about the story of their god.

Are you trying to focus to closely?

I am reading about this problem everywhere, and though i hate to say it as i own a 20D, they must have a design fault or at the very least bad production standards. I have been a pro photographer for years for a music magazine, working under demanding low light conditions, we are given 3 songs to get our shots often without flash.
I used to work on Nikon F100s and Fuji 400 transparency film. I would use everything from fast pro primes and zooms wide open to cheaper prosumer zoom lenses.I know for a fact that over 95% of my shots were razor sharp, if they weren't i'd never work again. I have not changed, only my system has from Nikon film to Canon digital which i did as often the speed of digital was being demanded by my clients and canons digital high iso noise was far better than nikons at that time. Dont get me wrong, i love digital and want to embrace it, but there are problems.
Over the past past few years I've shot on Canon 1Vs , and still own an Eos 3, 24-70L, 70-200L IS, 50f1.4, 20F2.8. I have often hired Eos 1D's mk 1&2, and have found their focusing systems to be very good. The 1D mk2 with a 70 - 200 wide open is exceptional! but its not the same across the board. I bought a 20D to play with last year, as i will wait until a 12mp 1D mk3 arrives, on paper it looks a bargain. In reality its erratic and unreliable, i am on my third one, the first 1 was fine at first then after 6000 shots just stopped focussing altogether, the second hunted continually and my current 1 has just started to miss focus at 12ft away!.
I dont even want to go into discussions of accepted digital image quality, camera handling techniques etc. I know what to expect with digital and its differencies to film. When i use an Eos 3 or 1D with my lenses, they are sharp, when i use them on my 20D they are not.
To prove the point i got a few of my friends together, all pro photographers (see www.andrewkendall.com). We tried each others lenses on a 1D mk2 , 20D, 300D and D60 to see the difference. The most startling result was with the 20D and 24-70L. We tried 3 separate copies of the 24-70L' at 24mm end f2.8 on single shot/ central sensor/ iso 400/ 12ft away in bright conditions and with 580ex flash. To rule out operator error we each took it in turn with each others lenses on our cameras. The 20D was the worst by far, focusing some 16 inches behind our subjects face, the 300D was a little better but not much, and the 1Dmk2 was very good but not perfect. The D60 was perfect, stunningly sharp. WHY? Because the photographer had adjusted his bodies AF with the Canon service software available some time back. If anyone can suggest where i can get hold of this software for a 20D or 1D's please let me know. I was amazed! I know i can take my camera to Canons CPS Pro? service. However their service takes over 2 weeks and they do not loan out any equipment to cover me. Why these cameras are not checked, or calibrated, before they're shipped must be due to economics of time delays and delivery to a competitive and fast moving market. And as my experience suggests they are sometimes supplied with faults or drift out of focus to an unusable degree Why isnt this calibration software available to the end user? If you or anyone reading this can help! Meantime maybe we should compile a list of unsatisfied customers, canon will not admit a fault but might accidentally leak a software solution?

Perhaps youhave a point.
I started this thread and would like to think it is not the camera. Probably because I like you do not want to send my camera back to Canon for > 2 weeks.
I have a 300 4L lens now and although I did say in a previous reply that it is working better, I still am having problems.
The other day it would not try to auto focus on gravel at about 15 yards away in the daylight. I just can't think this is what I should expect from a 20d.
I haven't checked out back or front focus yet, I have a sheet to do it, but haven't got around to it.
Perhaps I will send it back in the fall when I don't use my camera as much.

My 20D has had the focus straying problem on a Canon 75-300 and also my Sigma 28-300. Cleaned contacts on the camera & lens which sorted the Canon lens... Had to have my Sigma re-chipped. Have not had this problem since. Hope you get yours sorted... :|

Cyprus News Agency: News in English, 10-08-11
Cyprus News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Cyprus News Agency at <http://www.cyna.org.cy>
[01] GHANA PRESIDENT - CYPRUS ISSUEGhana supports every initiative that aims at promoting a peaceful settlement of the Cyprus problem, President of the country John Evans Atta Mills said, referring to the proposals submitted by Cyprus President Demetris Christofias in the framework of efforts to reach a settlement to the problem of Cyprus, divided since the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974.
Mills was talking during a meeting he had with the new High Commissioner of Cyprus to Ghana, based in Cairo, Costa Leontiou, who presented his credentials on August 5.
According to an official press release issued here, the ceremony of credentials took place at the Golden Jubilee House in Accra, where Leontiou was received at a private hearing by Mills.
During their meeting, the President and the Ambassador referred to the friendly ties between the two countries and expressed the mutual will to enhance them further.
During his stay in Accra, Leontiou met with the Foreign Minister of Ghana Alhaji Muhammed Mumuni, the European Affairs Director of the countrys Foreign Ministry and other officials, as well as the Archbishop of Ghana Damaskinos
The three-tier proposals the President has submitted at the negotiating table during the UN-led talks are as follows: the first suggests linking discussions on property to territory and immigration, citizenship, aliens and asylum. Property and territory are considered to be two of the most hotly contested issues at the talks President Christofias and the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu are engaged in.
The second proposal calls for the implementation of Security Council resolution 550 which provides for the return of the fenced off area of Varosha, now under Turkish occupation, to the UN. The objective of the proposal is to restore the town and return it to its legitimate inhabitants. The proposal envisages also the opening of the citys port for trade for Turkish Cypriots, under EU supervision, as well as the restoration of the walled city of Famagusta (old part of the city).
The third proposal relates to convening an international conference on Cyprus, once the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot side are within reach of an agreement on the internal aspects of the Cyprus problem. This conference must be called by the UN, and apart from the Republic of Cyprus and the islands two communities, the EU, the five permanent members of the Security Council and Cyprus three guarantor powers will attend (Greece, Turkey and Britain are the guarantor powers according to the 1960 Constitution).
[02] HEALTH MINISTER WEST NILE VIRUSHealth Minister Christos Patsalides has said Wednesday that his Ministrys services are monitoring the developments regarding the West Nile Virus (WNV) and are on the alert to confront immediately any incident, if a WNV case appears in Cyprus.
In statements to the Press, in connection with the appearance of cases of WNV in neighbouring countries, Patsalides said the Ministry of Health has given all necessary instructions to the hospitals while the sanitary services are intensifying their efforts to eliminate mosquito which are mainly responsible for the transmission of the virus to man.
It is preferable to be ready and to take prevention measures than to try to tackle any incidents, Patsalides noted adding that the virus can be confronted. He concluded saying that the sanitary services should be ready to face any incident, especially since the disease has appeared in neighbouring countries.
[03] BRAZIL - VISA-FREE TRAVELThe EU is working towards a full short-stay visa waiver for European citizens to Brazil. Once the agreement enters into force, it will have a real positive impact especially for the citizens of Cyprus, Malta, Estonia and Latvia who still need a visa to travel to Brazil. According to a press release by the European Commission, the Commission has adopted draft decisions on signature and conclusion of the short-stay visa waiver agreements with Brazil for holders of ordinary passports and for holders of diplomatic, service and official passports. Existing bilateral agreements between Brazil and EU countries will remain in place.
``Once these agreements enter into force, they will have a real positive impact on the everyday life of our citizens, especially of the citizens of Malta, Estonia, Cyprus and Latvia who for the time being still need a visa to travel to Brazil``, Cecilia Malmstrom, EU Home Affairs Commissioner has noted. She added that the Commission will make every effort in order to enable the signature and ratification of these agreements at the earliest possible occasion. The EU-Brazil visa waiver agreements will give reciprocal access to visa-free travel for all Brazilian and EU citizens, including the nationals of the four Member States (Malta, Estonia, Cyprus and Latvia) not enjoying visa-free travel to Brazil at present.
The agreement for ordinary passport holders covers travel for the purposes of tourism and business. At the same time it provides that the bilateral agreements concluded between Brazil and the Member States including categories not covered by the EU-Brazil agreement continue to apply. This way EU citizens willing to travel for reasons other than tourism and business will continue to benefit from the visa waiver under these bilateral agreements. The decisions on signature have to be approved by the Council, which will enable the signature of the two agreements by the contracting parties.
[04] NATIONAL SKEET TEAM - GOLD MEDALThe members of the Cypriot national skeet team returned to the island on Wednesday satisfied with their performance at the 50th ISSF World Championship, which took place in Munich, Germany, having won the gold medal at the Championship with 364 hits out of 375 targets. With its victory, the team, comprising George Achilleos, Antonis Andreou and Kyriacos Christophorou, has secured Cyprus two places in the next Olympic Games, to take place in London in 2012.
On behalf of the three athletes, Achilleos, who also secured the bronze medal in men`s skeet, said ``the whole team gave its best and we managed to win the gold medal,`` adding that there was enough time to prepare for the Olympics and that ``the whole time will continue to give its best performance.`` Chairman of the Cyprus Shooting Federation Demetris Lordos said the fact that two out of the six best athletes in the world in skeet were Cypriots was a significant achievement.
Lordos also pointed out that the national junior team finished fourth in the Championship in Munich, competing with very strong teams, and the fact that George Kazakos secured the bronze medal for Cyprus in men`s skeet junior. Cyprus Sports Organisation (CSO) Sports Director Philippos Sophocleous congratulated the athletes and assured them of the CSO`s support in their endeavours.
