The Pope's encyclical against contraception is continuing to meet remarkable resistance from Catholics on all levels of the church. A sharp reminder of that fact occurred when Pat rick Cardinal O'Boyle was the speaker at the Sunday noon Mass at St. Mat thew's Cathedral in Washington. Instead of delivering a sermon, he entered the pulpit to read a pastoral letter that, it had been announced in advance, would exhort the faithful to obey the encyclical. As O'Boyle began to speak, about 400 worshipers, roughly one-third of the congregation, rose and walked out of the church. Despite this stunning...

J.K. Rowling's 'The Casual Vacancy' Initial Sales Figures Revealed
Little, Brown and Company, the publisher of J.K. Rowling's new novel The Casual Vacancy, announced that the book sold 375,000 copies across all formats, print and digital, in its first six days on the market.
How does that compare to other titles?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in Rowling's hit series, sold 8.3 million copies in its first day.
The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy sold about three million copies its first month in print (it started as an ebook only).
No Easy Day, the memoir by a former SEAL about the killing of Osama Bin Laden, which had the biggest debut of the year to date, sold 254,000 copies according to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks about three-quarters of all U.S. print book sales.
Rowling's book recorded 157,000 sales through Nielsen's tracking, suggesting print and ebooks are selling at about a 1:1 ratio.
"The Casual Vacancy has exceeded our expectations in its first six days in stores," said Little, Brown publisher Michael Pietsch in a statement. "We believe it is on track to become the year's bestselling novel in hardcover."
Pietsch's carefully calibrated statement leaves out Fifty Shades (debuted in paper) and No Easy Day (nonfiction) from the calculation.
The Casual Vacancy is Rowling's first adult novel and her first non-Potter book since publishing the seventh and final volume in the mega-successful series in 2007.
Her new novel has received mixed reviews with The Wall Street Journal praising it and The New York Times and USA Today panning it.

Kobe, Lakers have earned right to have down year
I'd like to get something off my chest. I'd like to say it without a horde of purple-and-gold-bedecked Lakers fans clubbing me to death.
I won't be disappointed if Kobe Bryant doesn't suit up for the Lakers' opening night game on Oct. 29. I won't be surprised, either. I might even be pleased.
None of that has anything to do with any feelings I have toward Bryant's team, or Bryant himself. In fact, my statement stems more from the fact that I'd like to see one of the greatest players of this generation come back, and I'd like to see it happen responsibly and sustainably.
I know, I know. I've probably lost you by now. You're probably all assembling your horde and heading my direction, but hear me out. (This will be my refrain as you come for me, to silence my dissenting keyboard.)
I'm just being healthily skeptical. I'm thinking about Bryant's wellbeing and the relative lack of importance of a few games, or even of a few months of games. I'm thinking that it would be great to see him playing at a high level in April rather than watching him force things in November, and that there might be a tradeoff between the two if he rushes.
You see, I'm the daughter of a surgeon and a nurse. That not only makes me a skeptic, but it also makes me the ultimate medical lurker; I know far more than I should about doctor-ing, and I sometimes like to talk about it more than I should. It's a funny thing, having a doctor for a dad. For instance, I sprained my wrist in first grade, and he needed a week of me complaining before he assented to an X-ray. Once the tests revealed it was sprained, though, and badly, I was told I'd be in that sling for what seemed like forever. There were no shortcuts, he and his buddy, an orthopedic surgeon, told me. Injuries take a certain amount of time to heal, and you just have to accept that.
I'm no Kobe Bryant, and my six-year-old wrist was no 34-year-old Achilles tendon, but maybe that mindset explains why I think how I think. Maybe it explains why I just assume that Bryant needs his time, that time heals. And in some ways, what I think doesn't matter. It's what I know.
What I know is this: ruptured Achilles tendons are serious, even devastating. They end some careers. Others, they irreversibly alter, and for the worst. Even so, it's possible to return, probable for someone like Bryant.
What I know is the Achilles tendon is this little rubber band of sinew named as such because an injury to it caused the death of the greatest warrior in Homer's Iliad; according to the myth, his father was a demigod, his mother a nymph. (By comparison, Bryant's father's is nicknamed "Jellybean.") In less dramatic and fantastical terms, this inches-long tendon is responsible for relieving a stress load of nearly four times a person's body weight while walking and nearly twice that weight while running.
In other words, it's important. This tiny, insignificant-looking little chunk of your heel, to which you've probably never given more than three minutes of thought, could snap and essentially cripple you at any moment.
And that is why I'm fine if Bryant sits on the bench on Oct. 29, or even on Nov. 29 or Dec. 29. I've already accepted that he probably won't be the explosive player he was before the injury – remember, people: he's 35 – but I'd like to see him play at a high level again. I'd like to think that when he retires, it's on his own terms. I hope that whatever decline unfolds will have nothing to do with him rushing back in six months – if he chooses to – from an injury that can require up to nine, especially at his age, especially with the intensity with which he plays.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Bryant will be healed and ready to go by mid-fall. That would be great for him, great for the Lakers, great for basketball. However, that's a rapid recovery by a man who's older than nearly every other NBA player who's come back from the injury. I'm not his doctor, but his doctors also haven't spoken too much publicly, and certainly not about a specific return date. Neither has Bryant, for that matter; he knows it's too soon to do anything more than give noncommittal answers about his return date.
Kobe Bryant has nothing to prove. Neither do the Lakers, really, not with those 16 championship banners. To act as if even in a down year, they need to win, as if even though Bryant's suffered a devastating injury, he needs to be back as soon as possible, is ridiculous. The Lakers have earned their down year, if that's what this ends up being. Bryant has earned the right to recover at whatever pace will make him better and fully healed and something approaching the player he was.

A mandolin designed as an easy transition for guitarists, with all of the features and sound Breedlove mandolins are known for.
When Kim Breedlove began playing the mandolin, he could not help but ponder innovative designs for maximizing the tonal balance and unique mandolin sound and making it easier for a guitarist to play. The result is the collection of Breedlove Crossover Mandolins. Crafted from all solid woods: Sitka spruce tops and maple backs. The wider nut width (1-3/16") and radius fretboard facilitate players moving back-and-forth among instruments. Breedlove is pleased to now offer the full complement of "O", "K" and "F" body shapes in both "O" and "F" sound holes. Kim Breedlove's "F" body brings the full volume and dynamic tone you would expect from a Breedlove mandolin, while the "O" bodies create that direct response and articulation from a smaller body. For summer 2016, Breedlove is now able to offer the extremely balanced "K" body shape which allows the player access to those attributes that make their "O" and "F" body mandolins so popular. *Crossover FF Black is a limited SKU of only 80 units.

For those who know me from my Spiritual Business days, I am an astrology dork. If you're not into the map of the sky, then you should leave now. For those who are into the stars or just don't have anything else to read right now, stick around and buckle your seat belts.
We're going through this crazy Grand Cross, full moon drama. Last night I couldn't sleep, my head whirling with craziness and things I could be doing instead of trying to sleep. When I finally conceded at three in the morning that things weren't going to get improve, Facebook told me I wasn't the only one who was wrestling the darkness.
Most astrologers agree April was always going to be a bitch. For some, this whole start to the year has been wild. If we remember that we're in the Year of The Horse, according to Chinese astrology, then think of the start of this year as the wild horse that needed to learn to trust and allow it's self to be broken in.
I don't think I slept last night due to my strategising how to best handle my horse.
Today we finally get to saddle the beast but don't be surprised it there are a few bucks and snorts during the day.
I'm hiding under my doona all day, so knock loud, I'm home.

"The Awakening of Sunshine Girl" by Paige McKenzie
How many more good things can I say about Paige McKenzie? I'm a huge fan of her YouTube series/channel. I'm writing this review right after watching "I know what you did last summer" and can't help but think that "Sunshine Girl" is a lot like those "old"/"retro" horror movies. You know, the ones you watch and then think "Why don't they make movies like this anymore?"
I read "old" Stephen King books, R.L. Stine,… and always think "Why is nobody else writing horror like this?" And then comes Paige McKenzie and her co-author Alyssa Sheinmel and they do. Even better: they write it for young adults. And it's everything you ever wanted in this genre, and more.
Fair warning: If you have yet to read book one "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl" (this is a SERIES!), you might not want to read this BookTalk. Just giving you a fair warning, because if you read on, you will know who lives, who dies, and what all the fuzz is about. SPOILERS. So, just do yourself a favor, go read "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl" (I cannot recommend it enough!!!) and then come back. I'll wait here, I promise.
"Having passed her test in Book One, Sunshine's Luiseach powers are now fully awakened: for months now, Sunshine has felt spirits everywhere: heard voices, felt emotions – intense and sometimes overwhelming. She tries to ignore them, but it is impossible. Hoping to get her powers under control – and hoping for answers to her never-ending questions – she agrees to undergo training with her Luiseach mentor, even though she still hopes to give up her powers someday."
<< click on the cover to watch Paige read from the book
In case I haven't said this enough: I loved, loved, loved book one "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl". I've been looking for some good old-fashioned "goosebumps" horror novels in the YA genre and with Sunshine, I've finally found it. Ghosts, demons, monster. The good, the bad,… it's got it all. But you already know that, if you've read book one. And book two is no different. We jump right back in with a scene that still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. I recommend reading these books in bright daylight. Definitely not when it's dark, during thunderstorms, or right before going to bed. If things go bump in the night, you're on your own.
About book two, I have to say that it's not as creepy as the first book was. It's got its moments, it's fair share of ghosts and even a demon or two. But all in all, it's a second book in a series and has a lot of explaining to do. If you felt like book one left a lot of questions unanswered, book two is where you'll find all the answers. What are luiseach? What do they do? How does it work? Who exactly is Aiden? And what happened to Sunshine when she was a newborn baby? In "The Awakening of Sunshine Girl" you'll find everything you might need to know.
Because it has to answer all of these questions (and more), it felt a bit slow sometimes. The first book, with all the action, the ghosts, the big mystery and Sunshine herself being super scared, just set the bar a little too high. Right now, Sunshine has accepted her fate, she's a lot more relaxed about all the ghosts and so are we as readers. It's not boring, or too slow, or too anything… just don't expect it to be as thrilling and creepy as book one. Sunshine and her mentor have a lot of explaining to do in this book. Which is not as boring as I make it sound. Promise.
The only major issue I had with this book was the love triangle that was introduced in form of a new boy crush for Sunshine. Maybe (or definitely) it's because I am and will always be Team Nolan (is that even a thing? anyone else? there should be T-Shirts….) but love triangles are getting old. Especially super predictable or super unnecessary ones, like in this book. Of course, I don't know where book three will be going. But so far, there was no reason for this Lucio thing to happen, other than wanting a love triangle in a YA book. And that just annoys me with a lot of YA books lately… (but that's a story for another day).
Don't get me wrong: the love triangle doesn't ruin the book or anything. It's just something that is annoying me in books lately, so I had to mention that, sorry. Other than that, I really liked "The Awakening of Sunshine Girl". I wanted to love it, but I sadly couldn't, not 100%. Which usually happens with 2nd books in series. I'm sure we've all experienced that before. Book Two was never anyones favorite of anything, right? (Second Book Syndrom)
I will definitely continue with the series. No question whatsoever. The ending was AMAZING and I can't wait to read how they all get out of that one. I still (and probably always will) recommend this series! If you've read book one, you will want to read this ASAP. I just hate that we have to wait another YEAR for book three "The Sacrifice of Sunshine Girl". (Sad panda :( )
Are you #TeamNolan? Or #TeamLucio? Do you believe in the big bad Second Book Syndrom? Or can you think of a book series where the second book was your favourite? Tell me. I'd love to know.
p.s.: One more *random* thing I wanted to say, but couldn't fit into the BookTalk: Similar to the Veronica Mars books, where there is never enough Logan, there was not enough Nolan in this book…

text: Homeowner Fights to Keep Treehouse City says it's a public hazard, but Washington state resident disagrees By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Mar 13, 2014 2:43 PM CDT 129 comments Comments Zeb Postelwait sits in a treehouse at his home in Wenatchee, Wash. (Don Seabrook) (Newser) – Zeb Postelwait of Washington state always wanted to build a treehouse for his sons. He got the chance last summer after moving into a Wenatchee home with a big tree in the front yard. Two months later he received his first notice from the city to tear it down. Authorities say the treehouse overhangs the sidewalk and thus threatens public safety, but Postelwait disagrees, reports the Wenatchee World. City officials say he can keep it if he takes out a $1 million insurance policy, but Postelwait says no way. The city is prepared to seek a court order to remove the treehouse and send Postelwait the bill. He feels the city is harassing him. (Read more Washington state stories.)

Preston has definitely improved his fielding techniques this season. His reaction ability has improved, as well as his throwing. He still needs to improve his hitting skills, but he is getting there. We have really enjoyed his coach, and getting to know the boys on the team. Pres has had a lot of visitors to cheer him and the Phillies on this season, and we thank every single one of them for taking the time out of their busy lives to do so!
Like most children, Preston loves to look at the stands and see familiar faces...so this has been a good season for him. Mimi and Papa have been regulars, but Uncle Brian, Uncle Dan, Nene and Poppy, his teacher - Miss Anderson, as well as the Jarmons have all come out to cheer him on too!
|Mimi and Papa come to most games!
|Uncle Brian came straight from work!
|Uncle Dan always watching sports!
|Nene and Poppy came to watch!
|Miss Anderson and her baseball loving students!
|Mary Ellis and Jack
So though spring baseball is coming to an end this weekend. We are unfortunately sitting it out. Sadly Preston and another player collided when both tried to catch a pop fly, and the ball hit Pres in the eye. Thankfully Steve was there to comfort him, and his coach was trained to give him the concussion test....which he passed. So he came home with a headache and blurriness in that eye, and went to bed. The following day he went off to school, but I received a call midday from the school nurse because he was complaining of headache, blurriness, double vision and nausea. So we checked him out and took him to the doctor.
Pres was given a number of tests, which he did well on, except for the visual acuity test - which he flunked. The pediatrician was concerned, but truly believed he just bruised his eye and he just needed to rest it for several days. He asked us to come back the following morning, and unfortunately he flunked it again. Since there was no improvement, he called in a referral to an ophthalmologist for further testing. Within 30 minutes Preston received a diagnosis....he had sustained a blowout fracture (a hairline fracture to his orbit). Since he hadn't vomited (just nausea), he elected to let it heal on its own (without surgery). So now we wait.............
Soon All Star season will really start ramping up! His All Star team has been practicing for the past several weeks, and will officially begin in early May! Nothing like being scared to death, and spending 4-5 days a week at the ballfields. Thank goodness Preston loves it!

+++Alas Smith+++
In his interview with the Today programme this morning, Environment Agency chairman Lord Smith was asked about the idea that it was the policy of the Agency to allow the Somerset Levels to flood (audio below; 7:00mins for key quotes). Smith was asked specifically about a policy document from 2008 which referred to the possibility - so-called option 6 - of allowing parts of the Levels to flood:
Policy Unit 8- Somerset Levels and MoorsPolicy option 6 – Take action to increase the frequency of flooding to deliver benefits locally or elsewhere, which may constitute an overall flood risk reduction.Note: This policy option involves a strategic increase in flooding in allocated areas, but is not intended to affect the risk to individual properties.
Smith was absolutely adamant that the Agency had no such policy:
No, that certainly hasn't been ...certainly since I've been chairman of the Environment Agency, which was after that document, which I have to confess I've never seen and never taken any notice of.
...that is certainly is not Environment Agency policy as of now, hasn't been for the last five and half years while I've been chairman...
Which is why this second document, from 2012, is such a surprise. This is the North and Mid-Somerset Flood Management Plan, put in place some four years after Chris Smith became chairman and seems to suggest (p.20) that Option 6 was in fact the Agency's preferred policy for the Levels.
The vision and preferred policy
Policy Option 6 - we will take action with others to store water or manage runoff in locations that provide overall flood risk reduction or environmental benefits. By adopting this policy and redistributing water some areas will be subject to increased flooding while others will benefit from reduced flooding. The aim is to achieve a net overall benefit. The distribution of floodwater between moors can be determined to some extent by the use of sluices and other structures on the rivers. The distribution of floodwater has developed to some extent by historical 'accident' rather than design. When considering the distribution of assets across the sub-area it makes sense to direct water to areas which have limited assets at risk. By redistributing floodwater, primarily from upstream of Langport to the King's Sedgemoor Drain, the overall damage and disruption from flooding would be reduced. Other redistribution options may also be possible, although modelling has shown that technically not all options are feasible.
Oh dear.

I don't feel like losing.
Yet, it doesn't feel like I am doing it right. It feels like failing all the time.
Yesterday I had three cookies, alltogether 500 cals. Nevertheless I lost 100 g over night. I am now at 52.7 kg (116 lbs). I want to reach 43. So almost 9 kg to go.
When I've reached 48 I can meet people like my gorgeous friend again. 48 was the weight she saw me with. I can't meet her with more fat on my hips. I'd prefer to meet her again when I am even below 48. I wish I was 43 now, I wish I'd look pale and skinny, and we'd meet then. And she'd say "You look scary thin and sick". I would be so proud of myself. But reaching 43 will take ages...

There has been a huge shift in popularity and the public's acceptance of country music into the mainstream over the last five years. One of the people helping to the lead that change is Miranda Lambert. Making country music that walks on that line between pop music and old school country, her sound appeals to every kind of listener. Her most recent album, Platinum, is no different. It may be called Platinum, and we bet it is only a matter of time before the album GOES platinum.
Time Magazine dropped a review, and they cannot stop singing Miranda Lambert's praises. The actual word they used in the review was sass. Apparently, this album is seeping with sass. Known for her smoky vocals, Lambert apparently takes it up a few notches and leaves her fans in awe. There is a track called Smoking and Drinking, and though the name sounds way more like an Eminem song, it is a bittersweet and contemplative track from the well versed song bird.
Pair that up with the guest stars she has appearing on the album (Carrie Underwood and Little Big Town) and you have a must-own for any fan of Miranda Lambert and her sweet, country sound. Heck, even if you feel like country is not your cup of tea, seems like a flavor you might want to learn to love, as it plans on sticking around for a long time. This is as great a jump on point as anything.

Information Security Management Best Practice Based on ISO/IEC 17799; the International Information Security Standard Provides a Framework for Ensuring Business Continuity, Maintaining Legal Compliance, and Achieving a Competitive Edge
Saint-Germain, Rene, Information Management
Security matters have become an integral part of daily life, and organizations need to ensure that they are adequately secured. While legislatures enact corporate governance laws, more and more businesses are seeking assurance that their vendors and partners are properly protecting information assets from security risks and are taking necessary measures to ensure business continuity. Security management certification provides just such a guarantee, thereby increasing client and partner confidence.
A number of best practice frameworks exist to help organizations assess their security risks, implement appropriate security controls, and comply with governance requirements as well as privacy and information security regulations. Of the various best practice frameworks available, the most comprehensive approach is based on the implementation of the international information security management standard, ISO/IEC 17799, and subsequent certification against the British standard for information security, BS 7799. This ISO 17799/BS 7799 frame work is the only one that allows organizations to undergo a third-party audit.
Organizations today must deal with a multitude of information security risks. Terrorist attacks, fires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters can destroy information processing facilities and critical documents. Theft of trade secrets and the loss of information due to unexpected computer shutdowns can cause businesses to lose their commercial advantage. The CGI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey states that total losses in the United States in 2004 as a result of computer security breaches reached $141,496,560. Organizations often tackle security issues as part of their efforts to comply with a variety of regulatory requirements, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that to address all aspects of security, organizations need to implement a more comprehensive approach using a methodical compliance framework.
Compliance is not always straightforward. As META Group notes in its white paper, "Unraveling Security and Risk Regulation," legislation governing regulatory requirements often lacks the specificity organizations need to know how to comply. According to META Group, companies and institutions affected by such legislation must decide for themselves which security controls are appropriate for their organizations.
An increasing number of businesses, moreover, are seeking to obtain security certification from third-party organizations, given that certification guarantees that the controls implemented meet information security requirements. Certification enables organizations to comply with increasing demands from financial institutions and insurance companies for security audits. In addition, it builds trust in an organization's capacity to implement appropriate security controls to manage and protect confidential client and business information.
Some best practices that facilitate the implementation of security controls include Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT), ISO/IEC 17799/BS 7799, Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), and Operationally Critical Threat, Asset and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE). Focus on the ISO/IEC 17799 standard is warranted, given that it provides the most comprehensive approach to information security management. The other best practices focus more on IT governance, in general, or on the technical aspects of information security. (See Table 3.) Moreover, ISO 17799/BS 7799 is the only best practice framework that allows organizations to undergo a third-party audit and become certified. Implement-ing an overarching compliance framework using ISO/IEC 17799 and BS 7799 requires a methodical information security management system that facilitates the planning, implementation, and documentation of security controls and ensures a constant process review. …

This is an exercise borrowed from the Chinese and its purpose is to promote better eyesight. It relieves stress in the eye and the area surrounding the eyes. As it is based on Chinese acupressure it releases energy flows, or "Qi" or "Chi" energy.
You can combine all of these eye acupressure areas in one routine, or pick and choose certain points.
Massage these points seven times in one circular direction, then seven times in the opposite direction. You can use your thumbs or your index finger to do this.
Circular motions on these acupressure points:
- Side of nose, next to the corner of the eye
- Under the eyebrow, the left and right of the top of the nose
- Start of the eyebrow, where the bone behind the eyebrow turns into the bridge of your nose
- Corner of the eye, one the bone in the corner of the eye
- Above the cheekbone
- Under the eye, on the bone just below your eye, in line with your pupil if you look straight ahead
- Side of nose, under pupil. Helps relieve pressure in the sinuses

How does it work?
Putting the sun to work for you
- The solar modules 1 generate direct current from sunlight.
- The mounting system ensures the permanent load-bearing and robust attachment of the solar modules to your roof.
- Inverter 2 converts the direct current into alternating current so that it can be fed into the grid.
- PV generation meter 3 records your electricity yields for billing at the energy supplier.
- The existing house connection 4 to the public grid continues to be used.
- Power meter 5a records the amount of electricity you take from the public grid.
- The reference and feed-in meter (bi-directional meter) 5b records the electricity taken from the public grid and the amount of electricity fed into the public grid.*
Whether solar modules, inverters or complete assembly systems, it is ultimately the quality and reliability of all components that are the most important prerequisites for long-term, secure yield and return from your solar plant.

Recipe: Peaches and Cream Semifreddo
You know it's a good day when your future father-in-law arrives at your house with a brown paper sack full of ripe Elberta peaches, straight off a farm in rural Georgia. And while it's not the first of the sweet fruit I've enjoyed this year, it is certainly the most. So many, in fact, I had to ask Twitter what to do with them!
Besides the obvious—to eat them one-by-one until my tummy ached—I actually didn't get too many responses. Where's the "social" in social media when I need it? So I took matters into my own hands. I didn't want to make a plain ol' pie, and I was feeling much too lazy for a canning session. Peaches and cream seemed easy and fresh, but just a little boring. And then I thought, what about peaches and cream semifreddo?
If you've never had a semifreddo, it translates as "semi frozen" or "semi cold" in Italian. It is basically a mousse-like dessert made from combining a custard with whipped cream, and then freezing until firm (mind you, there are a number of other variations of this dessert). The best part about semifreddo? It doesn't require an ice cream maker. The worst part? Be prepared to wash a lot of bowls.
I researched a number of sources before getting started; there are certainly no shortage of recipes for semifreddo out there. I settled on adapting the vanilla semifreddo with rhubard compote from the always-inspiring Sunday Supper at Luques by Suzanne Goin. The thing that intrigued me most about Goin's recipe was first that it was no-cook (never a bad thing in the middle of summer), and second that it used beaten egg yolks and beaten whites—neither being techniques I had seen anywhere else.
What resulted is a super-airy rendition of peach ice cream, which is certainly never a bad thing in my opinion. The semifreddo cuts into beautiful slices, adding a bit of flair to the standard two scoops. And while it is just a tad bit labor intensive, by no means is it difficult. It involves just enough effort to make it not worthy for everyday, but it should definitely be in every cooks arsenal of perfect-for-company desserts!
Peaches and Cream Semifreddo
Serves 8 to 10
1 pound
(about 4) ripe peaches, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups
chilled heavy cream
large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon
vanilla bean paste
1/2 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup
sugar, divided
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting excess drape over the sides. Carefully smooth out the bottom and the sides as much as possible.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium speed until stiff peaks have formed. Transfer to another bowl and chill.
Clean the bowl and whisk attachment. Add the egg yolks, vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup sugar. Beat on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Clean the bowl and whisk attachment. Add the egg whites and mix on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minutes. Increase speed to high. Slowly add sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks have formed, about 4 minutes.
Fold the chilled whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites, a third at a time. Before folding in the last third, add the diced peaches. Continue mixing until all of the egg whites are incorporated into the mix, but be careful not to deflate the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly with a spatula, and cover with another piece of plastic wrap, smoothing out any wrinkles with your hands. Tuck excess plastic wrap over the top. Freeze until firm, at least 8 hours but preferably overnight (and up to a week).
To serve, invert semifreddo onto a serving platter and remove pan and plastic wrap. Let stand 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature to soften. Smooth top and sides with a warm knife if needed. Slice and serve with fresh peaches and shortbread cookie crumbles. (You can also scoop semifreddo like ice cream, if desired.)

Shot Zena today at her lovely house in Sheffield. She was very friendly from the outset and we had a good talk and a laugh before we started on the shoot. She was extremely good in front of the camera, gorgeous curvy body and cute face, very photogenic and takes direction well when needed.
This girl is going places and I think she is going to be extremely popular with togs and porn lovers in general so I'd advise anyone thinking of shooting her to get booked up now. I've already sorted out my next shoot with her as I know my site members will love her.
Thanks a lot Zena for today and looking forward to the next one.
5 April, 2013 - 18:51
Worked again with Tattiana yesterday on her first ever boy/girl shoot with Merlin. She is born to be a pornstar and you'd think she had been in the industry years as the scene went perfectly without any problems and you can tell that Tattiana absolutely loves what she does. I really cant recommend her enough to anyone who wants to shoot great content, you simply cant fail with her
19 December, 2013 - 19:04
Had a GREAT shoot with Zena today! Wonderful to work with so entertaining! Her and Gary are good peeps, Would definitely recommend her to shoot with, can't wait to meet up againxx

What are great day we had. One of the things we are known for in our good reputation over these past nearly 12 years is our people skills, going the extra mile as well as just worrying about the work. Well we can't take credit for this all the time as its also down to the lovely people we work with. Tattiana is one of those lovely people that is effortless to get on with, and great to spend time with, which makes our people skills easy as its just that, no effort. She is a great girl who loves her work and has fun with it, she was always smiling and takes direction very well. She is also a very pretty lady. She even mentioned how much of a shock it was actually meeting me and then when I was in character as the nerd. She said it was just like Clark Kent ( thats the right answer, especially for a true superman fan like me :0) ) We worked hard that day, all of us, me, Scarlet my camera lady and Tattiana. She even made me less nervous about getting my own tattoo by talking me through what to expect. If anyone is looking for a pretty, down to earth curvy model for their projects who turns up on time and has fun making your job as a producer very easy indeed then I suggest you work with Tattiana as she is great. Can't wait to see how this next exciting episode of Nerd Pervert comes out. Thanks very much

I had the pleasure of working with Tattiana recently on a shoot in Sheffield. Tattiana is a positive bundle of energy with a great attitude to try anything, who is very easy to work with. Tattiana is also very good at what shes does, which in turn made it very easy to work with her. She also has a great figure which is very easy on eye. It was great to work with her and I hope to work with her again soon. Tattianna is definitely someone I would recommend working with.

Worked last week on an outdoor shoot with Tattiana and Tony (BLACK10INCH) in Sheffield. This was a scene I have had rolling round my head for ages and finally decided to do it with Tattiana taking the lead role. It was the perfect choice, which I knew it would be, and she was brilliant. This scene was heavily scripted and also required a lot of ad libbing which Tattiana took on in her stride and really made the part her own. She has a great sense of humour, totally professional on and off screen and really does love fucking which basically means your going to get some seriously hot content. I cant recommend Tattiana highly enough to everyone out there and I'm really looking forward to shooting her again in the very near future
had a great first shoot tattiana worked all day on a outside location shoot, never once moan about the cold, and kept smiling all throuh the shoot, hope work with again and would recomend her to any tog
14 March, 2015 - 17:25
I shot with Tattiana recently on outdoor shoot for Busty Britain, she was professional fun too work with, and didn't complain about the freezing cold weather outside despite it being one coldest if not coldest shoot we had done, and carried on like a trooper! Happy too shoot with again and recommended if you want a busty babe too shoot! x
6 April, 2015 - 17:40
We shoot Tattiana once again on 4/4/15 and it was suddenly so clear why we shot her the first time. She's a very pretty lady indeed, such a pleasure to work with both in performing and also on set in general. We can't think of many models here at Dusk Films who we could just sit and chat too for hours, she such a lovely person and a natural at this. This is partly because she generally loves doing this work. She always has a smile on her face and loves to get involved in the plots we write. She really listeners and pays attention to detail when directing her in our sometimes very long winded plots that we shoot for the Nerd Pervert reality show. She is always dead on time, and always happy to try new things and bring her own ideas to the table, those are the types of models we like to work with the most. I can see us finding other stories for her in the future, feedback from the yanks we shoot for was their members loved her and would love to see her back, so we granted their wish. I am sure they will say the same thing again when they see her next chapter in the story. Thank you again for making the shoot as enjoyable as as ever. I would highly recommended her even more so this time around as the first time we shot her if thats possible. If you want a model you can count on then look no further than this lovely lady.

I lurrrveee this girl, we really get on and always enjoy our girly chats, I literally really look forward to seeing her again. She is amazing to shoot, so so sexy and I always get great footage of this lady. I know Paul highly rates her but I just had to say from a camera operators point of view, with Tattiana all you have to do is point and shoot, its effortless to shoot her as she really knows what she is doing and that smile of hers when she is performing, she really loves her job and it makes the content I shoot for Nerdpervert.com just that extra special and you can see it in the footage as well as being their on the day while filming it. I hope to shoot her again as her story so far could easily be continued so lets shoot again sometime hunni, take care and thanks xxxxxxx

Had another great shoot with Tattiana for the Nastyshag & The Dick series on Busty Britain. The shoot was in Leeds and, as always, she looked stunning and ready for action as soon as she got there. The initial part of the scene was a pick up scenario right in the city centre but nothing phases her at all and she was brilliant and great at working off the cuff with very little script. The second part was the sex scene, in a small wooded area, and she was outstanding but thats normal the case with Tats! All in all a top quality shoot and great to work again with this outstanding model.

text: Hi, For the past four years we have been using a linksys 802.11b router which worked great(no major problems) and recently upgraded everything to the 802.11g w/speedbooster. The are two computers that are wired (1 desktop, 1 laptop) and 6 devices wireless (2 desktops, 3 laptops, and an xbox/ps2 on linksys gamer). The wireless devices are constantly experiencing disconnects be either idling or heave usage. (Note: not all devices are connected at once, usually 4 to 5 of the computers.) I've gotten to the point where I gave up and called linksys which was a big mistake because they only gave me suggestions that I already tried. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to completely get rid of or minimize the amount of disconnects? Your help will be greatly apprecialted!

That might be a difficult task due to conflicting data.
Two government agencies plan new research to more accurately count the companies and workers in the so-called gig economy, which also has been labeled the on-demand economy, and better understand trends of that realm.
The "share of U.S. jobs without a formal employer-employee relationship is large and growing," but some data shows the opposite, Jim Spletzer, an economist for the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies, wrote in a recent government blog post. Jobs in the so-called gig economy include freelance and contract workers.

She called me from the room. When I walked in she asked me to lie down on the high table. She asked me to take my cock out and hold it at the base pointing upwards with the head fully exposed. She started beating the cock head with a wooden ruler. Initially it was fine but after a few minutes I started to bring my knees in to a crouching position and turning away to avoid the beating. She said if I did not hold my original straight position she was going to beat so hard that I won't even be able to scream. Upon hearing that I straightened up somewhat. To prove her point she gave a whack on the cock head so hard that, she was right, I could not even scream. I wanted to but no sound came out. My body was in a shock. Once I recovered I could feel the stinging pain. She resumed her beating. What a woman! She knows exactly what she wants.

WASHINGTON -- "I personally think that if there is war, it will be a short one that will last no more than five days."
That errant forecast was made by Sen. Daniel K. Inouye on Dec. 19, a few weeks before the Persian Gulf war began.
Inouye, D-Hawaii is chairman of the Senate defense appropriations subcommittee and a presumed military expert. So his mistaken prediction stands out. But many other reputedly knowledgeable individuals, from military officials to politicians to journalists, guessed wrong before the battle began.

Magazine article Journal of Property Management
Tying It Together with an EMS Proper Use of Energy Management Systems Maximizes Efficiency
Article excerpt
IN THE LAST FIVE ISSUES OF JPM, WE'VE REVIEWED WAYS TO REDUCE ENERGY USE AND COSTS, INCLUDING THERMOSTATS, LIGHTING AND PLUG LOADS. An energy management system (EMS) is the one piece of equipment in your building that has the potential to bring all the energy-consuming systems together, and operate them synergistically for maximum efficiency and comfort.
An EMS is not a substitute for competent building operators; it's a powerful enhancement. Often, building operators use their systems as glorified time clocks, simply scheduling on/off times for HVAC equipment and lighting. But a good EMS is much more useful than that.
Delve deeper into the functions of your EMS by sitting down with the controls company to find out all the great things it can do. Make sure to document or record the session with the controls company so you aren't placing the success of your energy management program in the hands of one person. Often, the EMS has built-in or easily available functionality of which building operators might not be aware. If necessary, consider budgeting for incremental upgrades while looking into potential utility incentives or rebates.
A fully-utilized EMS can perform many functions, including determining optimal start and stop times of equipment automatically, based on readings of indoor/outdoor temperatures and humidity; directing the movement of conditioned air; discontinuing conditioned air at a certain threshold; adjusting ventilation based on CO or [CO.sub.2] levels; and monitoring utility meters to allow operators to trend and track performance--just to name a few. An EMS can also tie into equipment outside of HVAC, including indoor and outdoor lighting, water heaters and irrigation systems.
An EMS can act as a fail-safe to prevent or correct mistakes. It can automatically reset manual overrides on time clocks and thermostats, so a special adjustment doesn't become permanent, and it can limit set points to within a specified range to prevent excessive equipment operations. …

Commissioners hear tourism report
Thomas B. Riford, president and CEO of the Hagerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau, presented the group's annual tourism update to the Washington County Commissioners Tuesday.
More than 2 million visitors spent $250 million in Washington County in 2007, both of which are up from the previous year, Riford said.
Those numbers do not include visits to retail malls, Riford said.
While hotel occupancy was down slightly in 2007, revenue was up because rates increased and two hotels were built in the county, Riford said.

MACC CTE Students are Breaking Traditions
For nineteen years, Breaking Traditions has honored outstanding students who have chosen specific career and technical education programs based on their interests and abilities, and who have not let their gender influence their career decisions. Outstanding educators who are teaching in a nontraditional career program and who are supportive of nontraditional students are also recognized. Nontraditional means occupations in which individuals from one gender comprise less than 25 percent of the individuals employed in that occupation or field.
State winners of this award receive scholarship offers from every Missouri Community College and from Linn State Technical College. In addition, each state and regional winner will receive a scholarship from the Friends of the Missouri Women's Council on behalf of the Missouri Women's Council.
In the 2012 Breaking Traditions contest, MACC student Jason Bunce, Moberly, was recognized as the Region II Post-secondary male winner. Jason is pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree in the Medical Lab Technology (MLT) program at Moberly Area Community College's Advanced Technology Center located in Mexico, MO. Jason was nominated by his instructor, Kristine Hayes, MLT Coordinator.
Bunce's advice for students considering non-traditional majors was, "A person's gender should never be a determining factor in choosing a career path. If you choose a career field based solely on the idea that women and men are inclined to doing a certain job, you are limiting your options. Everyone has the right to work in a career field that provides a sense of personal satisfaction, pays competitive wages, and matches an individual's abilities and talents."
In his student esssay, Bunce wrote, "Entering the medical laboratory progam has given me the skills and talents to be successful and make a difference in this profession. An occupation in this nontraditional field will give me a better opportunity for advancement and future job security. It's very important not to stick to gender stereotypes when choosing a career. Working as a medical laboratory technician is a way for me to push against those stereotypes."
Hayes wrote that her reason for nominating Bunce for this award was, "Jason is bright, funny, easy going and works hard at learning his newly chosen profession. He will be an asset for any laboratory he works for in the future and a great representative of MACC's MLT program and the quality student we aspire to put through our program. I also feel that he would represent the profession well as the face of what laboratory medicine is moving towards."
Sponsored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), the Missouri Center for Career Education (MCCE) and the MCCE Career Education Coordinators, the Breaking Traditions awards are an excellent opportunity for students, career-technical programs, educators and schools to receive recognition and statewide publicity.
For more information and a complete list of State, Regional and Honorable Mention winners, please check the Breaking Traditions website at www.breakingtraditionsmissouri.org

FitzGerald, Garrett
FitzGerald, Garrett, 1926–2011, Irish political leader. After studying economics and law, he lectured (1959–73) in political economy at his alma mater, University College. He was first elected to the Dáil (parliament's lower house) in 1969 as a member of Fine Gael , having previously been elected (1965) to the senate. He was minister of foreign affairs (1973–77), then became party leader and subsequently prime minister in 1981 as a result of a coalition with the Labour party. Although defeated in early 1982, FitzGerald regained power later that year and was again prime minister until 1987, when election losses caused him to resign as party leader. A moderate nationalist, he was the driving force behind the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. He retired from the Dáil in 1992.
