4th October 2012
I am standing on the moon looking out into space. A group of us live there in a community. I can see the planets and stars clearly. I go over to the edge of the moon, like a cliff, and look over. I see Jupiter passing, very close by, a huge, swirling red ball. But to my surprise, I discover that Jupiter is being carried by a man all painted in red, like one of those living statues, on his shoulders. I get out my camera to take a picture but I can't twist the dial of the camera to the auto setting. As I am trying to do this, I lose my concentration and fall over the edge of the moon. Luckily there is no gravity so it is easy to hold onto the ledge with one hand. I shout for someone to come and rescue me. As I wait, Saturn comes past, carried like a pale yellow beach ball by a man dressed in yellow who holds it to his chest. After Saturn, more men come, carrying the small planets that are closest to the sun. Mercury is the slowest. It is a spectacle like nothing I have seen in my life and I watch in awe at this ballet of planets. I realise there are a lot more planets than we knew about.

Scores that are positive indicate an increase while scores that are negative indicate a decrease. Those program sites that indicate a "Yes" for the data element Use of Assessment. Program sites can be separated into four groups: those that did not and do not use child assessment; those that did not but now do use child assessment; those that did and now do not; and those that used child assessment at both time points. Compare the change in ratings for those that have never used assessment and those that started using assessment to see if the latter group showed greater positive growth in their quality scores.

I am such a sucker for egg rolls. No matter what kind of Asian food I'm in the mood for (and I'm ALWAYS in the mood for Asian food), a good egg roll better be on the menu because I want one. Or three. I love making these at home because you can so easily customize the ingredients, and make this into a meal!
Homemade Egg Rolls
Is everyone over the Christmas rush now? Have you had time to recover from the partial food coma that Christmas and Christmas leftovers inevitably bring? Me either. In fact, I'm still eating leftovers.
This is a great recipe to make use of your leftovers. Chopped up turkey would be fabulous in these. I used a more traditional ground pork for this mix, but if you try it with some leftovers please let me know how it goes.
You can see more of my Asian-inspired recipes here in my Spicy Chili Garlic Stir fry Sauce, Honey Pecan Shrimp, 20 Minute Thai-Spiced Tonkatsu, Korean Spicy Stir Fried Chicken and Vegetables, and my Fried Pork Dumplings, among many others.
The hardest part of this is getting the hang of the rolling process. Once you have that down, these are amazingly fast. The secret to a fabulous egg roll at home is to pre-cook the filling. Then its just a matter of rolling and frying and enjoying!
Start by mixing up your marinade for your meat. Stir it into the meat and let that sit while you are cooking up the veggies.
In batches, quickly stir fry the vegetables. You don't want these completely cooked into mush, just slightly stir fried and softened.
Let the veggies drain so your filling is as dry as possible before you fry. An easy way to do this is to put them on a cookie sheet with one end propped up. This lets any juices in the vegetables drain to the other side.
Cook your ground pork mixture, chopping it up into a fine mix. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes, and then mix it into the stir fries veggies until everything is evenly distributed.
To roll, place several tablespoons of the filling mixture across the corner of an egg roll wrap.
Fold up the corner over the filling, and roll it up a bit.
Next fold over both sides towards the center.
Now using your fingers, lightly wet the last corner with a cornstarch slurry and continue rolling until completely sealed.
Make sure you do not place the unfried egg rolls on top of each other, as they will start to stick together and the wrappers will tear when you try and separate them. Use wax or parchment paper to stack uncooked egg rolls.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a heavy duty pot over medium high heat. You want the oil hot, but not smoking. About 350-375 is the optimal temperature to fry these at. Fry until all sides are golden, and serve hot with some sweet and sour sauce!
Egg Rolls
Homemade egg rolls are so delicious! Make a meal out of them, or make an egg roll party with your friends and family and roll up a bunch!
Meat & Marinade
- 2 lbs ground pork
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon finely diced fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 drops sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 6-8 cups shredded cabbage
- 2-3 cups mung bean sprouts
- 1 bunch green onions, green parts, diced
- 10-12 small or medium shiitake mushrooms, diced
- 2 packages egg roll wrappers, 60 total
- oil for frying
- corn starch slurry for sealing shut rolls
- Mix the meat and marinade ingredients together and set aside.
- Mix together the vegetables and quickly stir fry in a drizzle of oil. Remove and set on a cookie sheet that's been propped up on one end to drain.
- Cook the pork mixture and chop up to a fine mince until done. Mix with the vegetables.
- Wrap egg roll mixture in wrapper using method described above. Seal shut with a cornstarch slurry.
- Fry in batches in 2-3 inches of oil that has been preheated to 350-375 degrees until golden brown. This should take no longer than 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce while hot.

It took a really long time for me to decide whether or not I wanted to discuss Charlottesville, VA in regards to racism, fascism, and Nazism to my eight year old. Until he got up this morning and I was about to read Percy Jackson as I usually do, ( I eat much earlier and he out eats me by about four times the amount so we get a lot of reading done at breakfast), and instead I started talking about racism and the Alt-Right/KKK gathering in Charlottesville, VA that ended in the death of one woman and the wounding of some nineteen others due to a car plowing into a peaceful protest, on top of the two policemen killed.
This is not okay. It is not okay to come to a college campus and march with torches and promote hate, the same type of hatred many of our grandfathers or great grandfathers fought against in WWII. And they chose to begin this march on a college campus because the educated youth is who they need to target, or to get on their side. This hate is here in our America, being denounced nationwide by Democrats and Republicans alike. However, I felt it impossible not to speak to my child because the one person immediately not denouncing it was the President of the United States. Immediately, I felt his remarks lacked any real remorse or committed stance that this was racism at is core, terrorism perpetrated by the same people who are raving about our President. Violence on all sides? What the fuck? David Duke even specifically said he was happy about the President's statements and how they did NOT call the Alt-Right out for being terrifying and malicious in their intent. In fact, it took two days for Trump to say anything remotely calling the rally what it was; which he almost immediately countered with a statement about the Alt-Left and their violence.
Wait a minute…The Alt-Left? Does he mean the peaceful protesters who were there protesting the KKK rally-I mean Alt-Right rally? Perhaps he means the protesters who engaged back in the violence the rally brought? However few who did engage, ultimately, what the groups stand for at their core are what's making this such a high stakes discussion. There was a group Unite the Right, protesting the removal of General Robert E. Lee statue from a park open carrying guns and torches, and an even larger group protesting this group, protesting what was essentially a whole lot of members supporting white supremacy.
There was so much information, so much darkness, that I didn't even begin to know how to talk to my kid in a coherent and eight year old meaningful way. When I started explaining, however, he knew more than I gave him credit for, such as Nazis are bad. He already knew, just from picking up conversation elsewhere, (not sure where because for a long time I kept politics out of the home–until the debates) that Trump was a bully. He knew about the Civil War and who freed the slaves, (albeit for maybe not the most altruistic reasons), and knew that there are people who discriminate based on how you look, who you love, and what your sex is (whether it be physical or otherwise). I don't shy away from conversation with my son about "controversial" topics. So we discussed the America we live in, and the America we stand for, and what we can do as humans to promote the message of acceptance. It's really more of an understanding, not just an acceptance, and certainly not tolerance, of how difference in ethnicity, religion, gender, sex, relationships, family makeups…how all this difference makes us human and amazing. I mean, ultimately, most of us want the same basic things: love, understanding, friendship, and meaning within our lives.
I did tell my child what went on and why and how it was handled by different people. He watched Seth Meyers reaction, which was maybe my favorite of the nighttime hosts. And he took it in and asked a couple of questions. And then he was hungry. He wanted me to read Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian, a story where it seems like the bad might prevail, but the hero always wins in the end.
We can't bury the bad in the world, nice it over for our kids. This is the world they will inherit, and I would like my child to learn from the mistakes of the past. Ultimately, as Americans, I feel that we will be learning a lot about the formation of protest groups and the rally cry of the usurping of our rights. I have never in my life seen this amount people out to protest such things as healthcare as I have in the past few months and it is both sad that it needs to be done, yet hopeful that people are standing up and demanding to be treated better. I am hopeful that more people will educate their kids on what it means to be an American versus the innate hatred that comes with white supremacy, or any hate group for that matter.
Trump has emboldened hate groups. After the announcement that he was, to the chagrin of many, going to become the 45th President of the United States, I wrote this: Trump Gave Hate A Platform . I feel that it is still relevant, if not more so in the wake of the white supremacist march. Speak out. Educate. Explain. I am a single working mother; I won't be at the marches or the protests, but I won't be silent.

The #InstajoyProject Day 4
Well... we're over half way now! And what an evolution we're seeing in your mandalas. I can't say enough how great it is seeing them all unfold. One of the things I love the best is the differences between everyone's styles... we all choose different shapes and combinations, and our style becomes unique to us.
Sorry, I haven't made a video to go with today's theme, as I spent all of yesterday travelling. It also meant my mandala for today is still a work in progress - I'll complete it over the day!
I said in my email this morning that we have 127 women participating in this round of the #InstajoyProject... people are still joining, so the number may rise further. I think that's such an energetic powerhouse to have us all interconnected this week. Imagine how much good we could do in the world if we were all united in creativity, producing beauty and goodness? The more we connect, share, and expand... the greater the energy we create. And that leads me nicely into today's theme...
Learning and growing
Some of you will be quite comfortable calling yourself an artist, others will have some hesitation using the 'A' word, or won't even have thought of applying it to themselves. I know it took me some years before I fully stepped into my calling as an artist.
But I think we're all artists and craftswomen of something - not least of our lives.
Whatever stage we're at, there's one thing I think is common to us all - we're all still learning and growing. I'm willing to take a bet that many of you love learning just as much as I do. Throughout my life I've lapped up knowledge like it was going out of fashion. Three degrees and a lifetime of informal learning STILL leaves me hungry for more, and learning is one of my greatest sources of inspiration in my creative practice.
If you're looking for a way to keep the spark in your relationship with creativity, here are some things to try. You can bring these ideas to your mandalas, your creative practice, your life in general.
- Try something new - try something you haven't done before
- Be curious. Wonder. Ask yourself, what would happen if...
- Bring fresh eyes to the world around you. Inspiration is everywhere, you just need to LOOK
- Develop a theme and work with it over time, for several artworks
- Start to look for your signature style. What makes your work uniquely yours? How can you magnify or expand on that?
- What brings you the most joy or ease? Do more of it!
- Go looking for learning: books, magazines, YouTube, online classes, in-person workshops... there are so many different ways to learn!
- Make a list of creative things you'd like to learn about, then try them one by one
- Take yourself on an artist date (as coined by Julia Cameron). This is a date for one - just you, and a creative activity or outing of your choice. Pick something you're curious about, that you've always wanted to try, or that is pure fun!
- Get a creative buddy, or form a creative mastermind group with some fabulous people
Once you start looking, there are no end of ways to keep learning, growing and being inspired by creativity. See if you can do one thing off this list today, and let us know how it goes! Have fun with it. And once again, happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all of you! xx

- This episode reveals that the International Space Station Bravery was destroyed by the Votans, who did a reconnaissance of Earth studying humans, prior to their official arrival. It was an incident witnessed by most of Earth's population, through the media.
- Air travel has been largely abandoned as a means of transportation due to dangerous levels of radiation and debris existing at altitudes exceeding 400 feet. Space exploration has been completely abandoned, for obvious reasons.
- Movies were apparently still being made between the arrival of the Votans and the Pale Wars, since Rob Pattinson is mentioned to have starred in a movie about the destruction of the I.S.S., in the role of Gordon McClintock.
- Doc Yewell's unsavory past, previously alluded to in "Brothers in Arms", is partially revealed.

I prefer the white photo in terms of photographic quality, but I like the idea of using the one that's most recent.* So I vote for putting the new one up there.
* - Unless you were making me choose between the current picture and the 5th grade Tori picture.
- Saturday, September 01, 2007 9:31:00 PM
- Heffalump said...
I like the white one, but there is nothing wrong with the new one either. I like the new one because it shows how much your kids have grown, especially Livie. And WOW! Your second oldest sure shot up and caught up with his brother compared to the pic in white.

- Nancy Face said...
I like the white one best because the photographer did a wonderful job with the lighting, and everyone just stands out...it makes me smile every time I see it!
On the other hand, you and your family are all beautiful, and it's fun to see how much the kids have grown! So if you choose the newer one, it will also bring lots of smiles to your adoring fans! :D

Wow, Alec has grown up. Look at the difference in his face. Izzy has more teeth and looks as tall as her sisters;), and she has your eyes. Look at Livie and Taj! Wow they have grown so much. I can see Taj's little personality just jumping off the picture. Livie looks as sweet as an angel. You and Sei look as gorgeous as you both always do.
I'll let you choose. I love seeing how big the kids have grown.
Did you notice that K & K are standing next to the same parent as the last picture.
Fun picture. Post it somewhere if you choose not to put it at the top.

Kayelyn- Isabel actually is taller than Kelsea, but Karlea has an inch on her. It was a huge ordeal this summer... :)
David- Well, I am wild like that...
Heidi- Karlea is the nerd pulling her shirt and not looking at the camera. It's always either her or Alec that does something spazzy in the picture!

I definitely think you should use the updated photo. I am amazed that everyone looks so great all at one time. I just have Zoe... and our family portrait took forever just so we could have her looking at the camera... and for all 3 of us to have a decent look on our face at the same time. Very impressive!

Good. I'm commenting all the way down here in hopes that everyone else has moved on.....
I like matchy-matchy coordinated family pics. It's my pack mentality OCD kicking in, I know. I like the up-to-date aspect of this one, but like the outfits of the other one. Am I too honest?

Elastic- I agree with you. I liked the coordinating outfits in the other one. I almost did the same thing this year, decided it would be lame to have the same outfits 2 years in a row. I'll coordinate better next year.

Carbon emissions may be rising too high, despite goals.
New research on chickadee species has revealed that southern bird species may be moving far more north than expected. This has important implications as temperatures continue to rise over time.

Alaska may be in for some major melting in the future.
Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on Earth than flooding as climate change continues.
How do glaciers flow? Scientists are getting a closer look thanks to animated satellite images. The new findings reveal a bit more about how glaciers flow and change over time.
Global warming may be happening faster than we once thought. Scientists have found that greenhouse emissions that arise naturally are also affected by increased temperatures.

There's something strange happening in the world's oceans due to an excess of carbon dioxide. Plankton is, apparently, growing rapidly in spite of scientific predictions
Europe may be in for more heat waves as climate change continues. Scientists have found that regional climate projections suggest enhanced probability of heatwaves anywhere in Europe.
The year 2015 may be the warmest on record. Scientists have found that a combination of a Strong El Niño and human-induced global warming may just make 2015 the hottest year yet.

Increasingly, post cards have piled up in my mailbox. See Post Cards – Sunlight Project, Step One to read what nurses have offered so far. The momentum is building!
Most of the responses so far have involved one hospital, Yuma Regional Medical Center in Arizona. Given my longstanding suspicion of deep and pervasive health care corruption in Arizona, such a result is interesting indeed. I have a day off, so I'll be contacting YMRC to hear their side of the story, if they feel inclined to offer one. To round things out, I'll also contact Arizona's Governor and the Arizona Board of Nursing. In the spirit of transparent citizenship, I'll post all of this outreach and any responses.
If you want to ask them about it yourself, feel free to contact them.
In fact, I ask you to do so, good reader! Accountability comes from public demands for nothing less. You can contribute, perhaps, to the cleansing of corruption! You might even save lives that way – health care corruption kills, you know.
Sunlight exposes the predators who thrive in the shadows. It brings them to account. Sunlight brings justice.
Sounds good to me!
Let's sort this situation out together: shine a little healthy sunlight!
Please help…

text: I braved a midwest snowstorm yesterday in order to attend a blogging seminar. The introduction to blogging was led by Mike Sansone. His company is called Copywriting Solutions and Mike did a nice job of giving everyone an overview of blogging. Having already started this blog, I entered the class locked and loaded with questions. I felt that I was consistently jumping ahead, but Mike was patient with me. I was so anxious to try what he was showing us, I think I missed half of it because my head was buried behind the laptop clicking away. I liked that Mike made the class a group conversation between the 10 or so people in attendance. You can tell that he has a gift for conversation and networking. In addition, I loved all of the free solutions Mike shared. I am Dutch, you know. To top it all off, by the time the class was over the sun was shining and most of the morning snow had melted. Of course, I can't give Mike credit for that!

NEBL +46% target 0.0036501 BTC
BINANCE:NEBLBTC Neblio / Bitcoin
Bleeding continues in crypto, but a few key coins are surviving well. NEBL seems to be doing well.
what a flat was that?)
What is the technicality behind this? A rectangle on the left so we will see a rectangle on the right?
Tin.Foil MAZEM
@MAZEM, btw, it's nearly impossible to see accurate technicals right now. The Bull and Bear markets are fighting it out like crazy. I'm not surprised that 80% of my calls the last week have been terrible. This is an unpredictable market and it's best if people just HODL and wait for things to return to normal after this consolidation period. But I'm impatient, so I keep trading. LOL
lol it was doing well yesterday
Tin.Foil Jamiemoss100
@Jamiemoss100, until I jinxed it by posting about it.. damnit.
philipjterry Tin.Foil
@Tin.Foil, everything is anchored to bitcoin at the moment... be interesting when everything diverges away from it
Jamiemoss100 Tin.Foil
@Tin.Foil, this is shitcoin anyways, today everything on Binance was in the green apart from one coin.... NEBL...
nginx Jamiemoss100
@Jamiemoss100, lol great logic. NEBL was not green on a given day, so it must be a shitcoin. Do some research on this coin. It's one of the best coins in the market right now. Expect to see NEBL in the Top 30 within the next 6 months.

@nginx, no its shitcoin

Which music site has the best writers in your opinion?
For me, Coke Machine Glow consistently delivers extraordinary musical criticism - so well written, makes me want to chop off my typing fingers in shame
Coke Machine Glow is indeed very good
i'd probably have to agree. Some of the writers here are up to that standard, it's just a shame they're in the minority!
seems poncy to me. They find a very eloquent way to say nothing at all. DiS's writers are good. Alexander Tudor, in particular, has impressed me.
It's not even close. Meh. I could die a happy man if one of my reviews made the cut.
Pitchfork's writers and editorial
is the best on the web by an absolute mile. A level above anything I've ever read - those guys know their shit. Having said that, I've never read Coke Machine Glow - will check it out.
I also really like Allmusic actually. CMG is a bit too indie for me.
That Gordon Downie song
always put me off reading CMG
Got to be The Quietus definitely
For features they are head and shoulders above other ones I read
CMG are really really overrated
They have some great writers, but all too often they get wound up in muso twittery. I'm sure some of them would make great novelists and abstract thinkers, but I'm after a music review, not a piece of art. They are good, but their whole problem is summed up by this extract from their Harvey Milk review, which says precisely nothing at all to me:
"Thus, "Motown" is called "Motown" not because it is about Motown or Detroit but because in its big melodic chug it recalls, kinda, Motown, or at least recalls it moreso than most Harvey Milk tracks do. Accordingly, "Barnburner" is a barnburner. The band is tautological because it can be, because songs equal themselves because songs are just songs. It's a slippy bit of rhetoric that could quickly get old (I hated thinking that last sentence), which is why the wit with which its implemented is so refreshing."
That's awful, by any standard.
Yet then they come up with something incredible like this: http://www.cokemachineglow.com/record_review/4028/blackmilk-tronic-2008
I dunno, they're so hit and miss.
My favourite writer is probably still Mike Diver. Sorry for embarassing you Mike, but you always write a great review. Some of the new DiS guys are pretty good - I like that Andrej guy for starters.
All in all, I prefer written reviews I've decided. I think Rock A Rolla and Wire do great reviews. The brevity of them is a particular draw- very little room for chaff.
cmg is awful. so bad it makes me angry. they like charles hamilton and david thomas broughton though.
^has made the above post 50 times.
Mike Diver on Clash
+ Pitchfork + The Quietus.
dis is fairly poor...very amateur. i trust the music boards 9/10 over a reviewer.
pitchfork / the quietus / fact
fact is the only one of those that covers music I'm realy interested in before I've heard it tho. p4k seems to have gone really lame and slow this year its like its not got over the christmass break yet. There hasn't been any specialist columns or anything yet. The quietus is quality but I don't read it to much as I already know about the stuff I want to by the time they write about it.
DiS has its moments but they are getting few and far between these days with quality writing and stuff I want to read, plus I've read it for ages so I'm kinda bored of alot of the writers.
Coke Machine Glow hurts my brain its so annoying to rea, I like alot of what they cover but they write like GCSE students trying to be clever, its like a sub ironic vice way of doing things at times.
yay someone mentioned fact!
They also post really interesting mixes you can download for free.
http://www.soundsxp.com - great for indie type stuff
www.thelineofbestfit.com/ -lovely layout and writing
http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk - a bit self indulgant to mention ourselves but we try our best to be independent. We're hoping to improve it soon with better features/editorial and blogs.
I read lots of blogs too
Oh yeah and pitchfork
is great for news and commentary but I find their reviews overly pretentious, almost too try hard.
taylor parkes
writes for QUIETUS so it wins automatically, but the other writers are great on there too.
Not any more...
A few of them occasionally do stuff on here, but not so much anymore. Passantino, McNally, Southall...
Jesus. H. Christ...

Founded by two brothers-in-law more than half a century ago and the varied challenges being countered, successfully nurtured and painstakingly developed by two cousins, the sons of those family patriarchs, cousins fishing tackle is today a very formidable force in the fishing tackle business, which is a phenomenal worldwide industry, worth billions of dollars. The innovativeness and ingenuity of the team behind cousins fishing tackle who are closely knit by family bonds, inseparable family affiliations and decades old traditions has made this company, what it is today.
Every single member of the team and even those who would join in the future would need to be professional anglers if they are to find their place among their peers in this very progressive thinking company, where no product would be leaving the manufacturing facility without stringent quality control, which is the eagle eyes of at least one or two members of the team.
It is this personalized quality control that has ensured that not one cousins fishing tackle has been unable to live up to the high standards expected of them. Cousins fishing tackle have a very impressive lineup of different models of fishing rods and related accessories to suit any challenge and any situation anywhere and all of them are light on the wallets.
All their products in the lineup are just waiting to be taken out and thrown out to the challenge, and the Raze fresh water series, IM-8 Graphite series, Glass reaction bait and cranking rods, Fiberglass striper trolling rod and the Kokanee composite series are just some of them in their superlative lineup offered at very competitive prizes.

If you need a fishing rod that would be at your beck and call, there is only one brand that you should choose, a product with a long and impressive and enviable track record for quality undisputed and those are the ones from none other than cousins fishing tackle the "Rolls Royce" of fishing rods.
The philosophy among the team that runs the very progressive thinking cousins fishing tackle organization is very simple and that is, they would not sell any of their products, if they would not like to use it themselves hence quality is the primary concern and which is held dear to their hearts at all times.
All rods are handmade in the United States of America and are covered up with three coats of Ultra Violet resistant slow cure finishes to keep them in pristine condition at all times. High grade lightweight Carbon or Graphite or Glass blanks are the primary materials that go into the superlative rods that are all manufactured to stringent US standards, which are tightly wrapped with colored, silver and black metallic thread for a very high quality finish.

The proud owner of that fishing rod and the unique serial number has to either register it online or by telephone to enjoy the warranty packages offered as per the respective product in the lineup he had purchased.
Cousins rods See Lowest Price
There is a very wide range of cousins rods that you could choose from either to take on the mighty oceans or the serene inland waters, whatever you may think you are good at, there would be not one but many cousins rods to back you up and to take that catch you have always waited for.
Every angler has his own unique style and cousins rods have researched most over these fifty plus years or so and have their fingers on the pulse of those perfectionists out there, who want the best and nothing but the best when they take their chances with the unknown.
They would go out there only if they know that they have the best cousins rods in their hands and the right gear all packed up because they know that a fisherman without the right stuff in his possession would only be a loser to himself.

Cousins surf rods See Lowest Price
If you are looking to tackle the surfs either form the jetties, rocky outcrops or even braving the shoreline and want the take in a few of those stragglers that come closer to the beaches with the surfs hitting them you need to look at the impressive lineup that cousins surf rods have to offer.
The cousins surf rods are super lightweight and easily manageable with the premium Shore-pro Surf Rod series taking the cake for the best in the business and which would give you complete control to take any catch in whatever struggle it may put up.
Challenging the surfs is not for the faint hearted and you need to be strong in mind and heart and more than that you would need the right equipment to come to terms with what you are likely to encounter.
To do so you would need the right cousins surf rods and the supplement you would be better advised to pick up the appropriate cousins lures too. They are all handmade in the USA and is accompanied with a life time warranty and made of top class Graphite blanks which are designed to handle any fish from the Striped Bass to the Stripers.
Cousins surf rods are all put through a very stringent trial and test to ensure that they take the vagaries of Nature and when the inevitable happens with the fish struggling at the terminal the rod would be able to bring it home.
Cousins lures See Lowest Price
Available in very attractive colors the cousins lures and skirt colors are terrific when you want to catch that very big fish and they have been leading the market since the late 1960's. There is a specific cousins lure for every species of fish out there that is the fruits of the labor that cousins fishing tackle have researched and found through the years of experience that they have been in this business.
Cousins fishing tackle would be glad to share their experiences and if you are looking for advise on anything to do with fishing whether it is to catch that fish for your son or to catch that "Big Fellah" out at sea, we are there to help.
Selecting the right equipment is mandatory and it is just like a soldier going to way, if you don't take the right paraphernalia with you to subdue the fish you are hoping to catch there would not be any success but only failure, which would not be what you would want.
If you are trying your hand in unknown territory and are in an area away from home and familiar surroundings talk to the ever helpful extensive Dealer network of cousins fishing tackle and they would be glad to guide you as what you would need to catch their local fish.
The type of cousins rods and the right cousins lures to go with it, to catch the fish that you would like to catch would all be helped out by any of the cousins fishing tackle Dealers. The Dealer network is so extensive, that you are sure to find one anywhere that you would happen to be and that would be one big consolation.

Dealers are galore in California, in the Northwest, East coast, Florida and the inevitable online dealers are all waiting to serve your every whim and fancy and would leave no stone unturned to ensure that the best service is extended to you along with the advice at all times.

Do you realize that if it was left up to the people in Countries there would probably be no wars.
A minority of people (Government) telling a majority of people what they can and cannot do is WRONG!
People are capable of governing themselves, they do not need arrogant people trying to convince them they are not.
Wars are simply stealing what does not belong to you!

I've heard many people tell me that they want to travel, how desperate they are to see the world. Often though, this is followed by a list of reasons that they can't travel. Finances, children, safety, fear and many other reasons.
Now everyone's circumstances are different and I'm not saying that the following applies to everyone, however, it's just intended to open your mind slightly and perhaps alleviate some concerns you might have.
1. I'm worried that I'll be lonely
Some people who intend to travel on their own are concerned that they will be on their own for extended periods of time and will feel lonely, however from my experience travelling on your own can not only be incredibly rewarding but is actually a wonderful opportunity to meet people along the way.
Sometimes when I've travelled with people then I've felt the pressure to do what they want, visit the island they suggest, or spend longer in a certain gallery that I would have chosen to. Travelling on your own allows you the opportunity to maintain a schedule that only you have planned.
In terms of worries about being lonely, remember that so many other people are in exactly the same boat as you and are super keen to make new friends along the way. Hostels are a fantastic place to meet people, in the dorms, kitchens, at the bar…don't be afraid to approach people and ask to join them or ask for suggestions as to what to do.
2. I don't have the time/Can't get time off work
Now this is often just about prioritising. You might have a high flying job that allows for little time off, but you are entitled to a certain number of days a year and it's just about organising these and planning in advance.
I sat next to a guy on a plane once on the way back from Vietnam who worked as a lawyer in a high pressure position. He'd packed a suit in his rucksack so that he could get off our 13 hour flight at 6am, change and go straight to work without missing another day. Tired he might have been, but he'd managed to time his trip to include a bank holiday and limited the number of days he'd had to take off work.
A couple friend of mine prefer to take more frequent shorter trips. They take a Friday and the following Monday off, then find a late night Thursday flight and manage to go away for 4 nights and explore a new place.
3. I can't travel with children
My parents were always keen on travelling and having my sister and I didn't stop this. Children benefit so much from trying new things and experiences and they are surprisngly adaptable, sometimes moreso than adults! See this story below about a travel mad mother who set off with her ten week old baby and partner round the world to make the most of her maternity leave.
Sure that might be a little intense for some new parents but it at least goes to show that although travelling with children might take some adjusting to get used to, it's certainly not an impossible.
4. I can't afford to go away
Now obviously sometimes there will be no give or take on this, however there are ways round financial issues with travel. See my blog post on how to make money while travelling.
In addition to this, little changes can make all the difference in saving up for a trip. Try adding up how much you spend on something like coffee. Let's say 5 coffees a week from Starbucks… £3 a time….You're looking at £180 in 3 months. That's enough for a city break. Sure, this is slightly idealistic but I'm just pointing out that saving a little here and there can really add up.

Original Xbox games are now compatible with the Xbox One and it is awesome! Microsoft has made a fantastic emulator that not only up res-es each game, but also irons out any framerate issues found in the original titles. As of this writing, 13 games of the original Xbox library are playable on the Xbox One with the promise of more to come. While it is up to the publishers if a game can be released for the service, these are my dream games that I would love to see!
10. Burnout 3: Takedown
Released back in 2004, Burnout 3: Takedown is still one of the greatest arcade racing games of all time. With multiple game modes and unlocks, anyone could still find hours of enjoyment with Burnout 3: Takedown. What's even better is the fact that the game is still for sale digitally on the Xbox 360, so its chances of being included in a future wave of titles is high!
9. Freedom Fighters
By far one of the most underrated games of its time. Freedom Fighters has players assume the role of Chris Stone as his world dramatically changes when the Soviet Union invades the United States. With awesome squad mechanics and interconnected missions, this third person shooter is still fun to play even today. You can see my full thoughts about Freedom Fighters in my Retro Review Here.
8. Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is an RTS/RPG hybrid that was exclusive to the original Xbox. The blend of RTS elements and real-time hack-n-slash combat made for a fantastic mix. Upgrading units as the game progressed also led to some fun army combinations. A sequel has been in development for PS4 since 2014, but until then I would love to replay Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders in upscaled glory.
7. Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Oh, Psi Ops, What a fun game! Developed by the now defunct Midway, Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy puts you in the psionic boots of Nick Scryer as he tries to regain his lost memories. Involving both third person shooter mechanics and psychic powers led to exceptionally fun ways to deal with enemies. Although a sequel was never made, the original game still holds up well even after 13 years.
6. Robotech: Battlecry
I joined the Robotech party extremely late, having only watched through the entire series only a year before Robotech: Battlecry was released. Combining both missions from the show and original content, I had a blast "blasting" Battlepods and other Zentraedi units. Seeing the stylized cel shading running on an Xbox One would look fantastic!
5. Shenmue 2
Shenmue 2 finally made its way stateside on the Xbox console after the untimely demise of Sega's last console, the Dreamcast. Continuing where the first game left off, Ryo has now found himself in Hong Kong. Players must explore the city gathering clues that will finally lead Ryo to his fathers killer: Lan Di. With Shenmue 3 on the horizon, being able to re-explore one of these classics on modern hardware would be amazing!
4. Mechassault
While Mechassault 2 would become backwards compatible on the Xbox 360, the only way to enjoy the original, and in my opinion better, Mechassault game was to pull out your original Xbox. Being one of the launch titles for the original Xbox Live service, Mechassault combined a great single player and multiplayer experience into one great package. Even though Xbox Live is no longer active for original Xbox titles, substitute services are in place that can capitalize on the games system link feature!
3. Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast was one of the first games to truly make me feel like a Jedi! Starting out as a "Doomesque" first person shooter, Jedi Knight 2 quickly shows you the ways of the force within a couple of levels. The remainder of the game can then be spent tossing around storm troopers to your hearts content! Jedi Knight 2 also offers a split screen multiplayer mode that had a ton of game modes and options to choose from to keep the fun going for hours!
2. Jet Set Radio Future
Jet Set Radio Future is another sequel to a Dreamcast classic. Jet Set Radio Future is a blast to play even today and was an entry point into the Xbox games library for many. With its unique art, music and gameplay, this classic deserves new life on the Xbox One.
1. Splinter Cell
Sam Fishers first outing and the first game to truly realize the potential of the Xbox hardware. Being unbound from the power restraints of the PlayStation 2 and GameCube hardware, Ubisoft was able to deliver a stealth game unlike any other of the time. Relying heavily on light and noise, Splinter Cell was a true technological marvel for its time. As the series progressed the games only got better, but it's this first adventure that has stuck with me for all these years.
Bonus: Steel Battalion
While every other game on this list has the potential to be included in the backwards compatibility program, Steel Battalion does not. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, Steel Battalion was a mech game from Capcom that included an entire cockpit setup as its controller! While I have faith that a USB adapter could be made to make the huge peripheral work on the Xbox One, it would be such a niche product that it wouldn't be worth the effort. It really is a shame though, a mech game this legit hasn't existed since.
Which original Xbox games do you hope will be added to backwards compatibility? Leave a comment below!

Going under the knife is a big step, whether it is medical or cosmetic. Patients need to be prepared from day one to ensure the success of the procedure, decrease the risk of complications, and speed up healing and recovery. Whether they are going to go through a tummy tuck surgery in Dubai or a simple tooth extraction, these steps are necessary and should be followed with utmost precaution.
If you are undergoing a surgery in the near future, here are some preoperative pointers that patients should remember:
- Do not eat after receiving anaesthesia
Preparation for a surgery can take days. Some surgeons/physicians advise their patients to lessen their food intake nearing the day of the surgery. When the patient receives a general anaesthesia, he/she will not be allowed to eat. Try not to break this rule. Although it may seem a little harsh, there is a reason behind this procedure. This is to prevent the patient from vomiting during the surgery. Vomiting will not only complicate the procedure but it can also block the airways of the patient that can lead to asphyxiation.
- Do not take aspirin or any medications that are not prescribed
During a surgical procedure, the surgeons need their patients' blood to be stable, not just the pressure, but the "thickness" of it. If the blood is thin, the blood will not clot and the healing process would be delayed and complicated. Doctors strongly advise patients against taking medicines and prescriptions that can make the blood thin, like the aspirin. Every orthodontist in Dubai instructs their patients not to drink aspirin before the procedure despite the fever and mild pain
- Do the necessary paperwork
Patients need to focus their attention on their upcoming surgery, but sometimes, you need to process the necessary papers and documents for admin purposes. Be sure to get that out of the way days before the surgery. Have someone to process the necessary papers so the patient can do their part for pre-operative preparation.
- Make necessary adjustments at home
It is important for patients to prepare their home days before the operation so they can just focus on healing and recovery. This would include stacking their pantry, rearranging their furniture and doing the heavy work (e.g. house cleaning) days before the surgery.

This new life of mine, I'm going to let it shine……
Well, my blog posts have gotten a lot less lately, and it's no wonder, because I have two minis to take care of! Free time? Unfortunately, that changes day to day, and when I have it, I'm probably trying to get an exercise in (because that makes me happy), do laundry, do SOMETHING. It feels like the To Do lists last weeks at a time. But, I write them. I do set goals…One day at a time right?
This new life of mine, it may not be as glamorous as before, but I feel much more at peace. Sure it's not peaceful to be "On" 24/7, but I have this new sensation of happiness about not having to be somewhere every single day, that is away from my children. Are we broke? Kind of. Does money buy happiness? Nahhhhh….it can help though for sure..
This new life of mine is also another transition phase. I am home with my babies, but starting school in May to become a nurse. I picked this time to start my schooling because that's just what the universe had planned out for me. No joke, it just worked out this way. I'd rather be in school and "getting by" financially while they are still young and won't remember it. We are okay of course, my husband is working his tail off day and night to make sure of that. We aren't as secure with me not having a full-time job at the moment, but we just take it one day at a time, and we know there WILL be light at the end of this "phase".
Life is always about phases though don't you think? Journeys, phases, adventures from one goal to the next. I just happened to step into a majorly new one, after leaving my job of 16 years. And you know what? It's an insane new life of mine, I'm constantly braindead, always sleep deprived, always trying to take advantage of my free time rather then relax….but…it's also AMAZING.
When you leave something that is weighing you down mentally and physically, naturally you're a whole new person when the chapter is closed. I feel, brand new. I struggle daily with how to get from the morning to the evening mostly on my own with my husband working so hard, but I always do it. Mothers, fathers, heck all parents, are superheroes.
We dive into these new lives of ours, sometimes drowning, and sometimes rising, but we just DO IT. We take on our new roles and attack the process of parenthood.
This new life of mine leaves me dirty most days (sorry hubs), changing 100 poopy diapers on the regular, not being able to leave the house for more than a few hours since my daughter won't take a bottle yet, sleep deprived, constantly on, picking my battles with a two year old( winning some and losing some) and always just taking it one day at a time. I call it survival mode, and it's the HARDEST thing I've ever done, but I am SO happy to be doing it. I've been known to love a good challenge…
Namaste, and Rock On!

Hong Kong the most popular market in Asia for real estate investors
Real estate investment in Asia Pacific rose 16 percent to a record US$52 billion in the last quarter of 2017, with Hong Kong, Australia and Japan remaining favorite markets among investors, according to latest data released by global property consultancy JLL.
Hong Kong was the most red-hot market in the region with transaction volume surging 171 percent year on year to US$7.4 billion in the fourth quarter. The notable growth was mainly driven by mega deals including the US$1.15 billion sale of Wheelock's 8 Bay East in Kwun Tong. It was followed by Australia and Japan, where three-month property investment exceeding 40 percent and 31 percent, respectively, from same period a year ago.
In Shanghai, investors were also active during the last quarter of 2017 with nearly US$3.5 billion in acquisitions. Major deals included Hong Kong-based Gaw Capital's US$757 million acquisition of Sky Soho, a group of Grade-A commercial assets.
For the entire 2017, Shanghai was the third-largest recipient of offshore capital in the world with US$5.8 billion in real estate acquisitions, which represented a year-on-year rise of 41 percent, according to JLL data.
In terms of buyers' origin, Asian investors were the most active cross-border purchasers of real estate last year, driven by a number of high-profile deals. In particular, investors from the Chinese mainland, Singapore and Hong Kong were the three biggest spenders, making up nearly 20 percent of the world's total US$60 billion cross-border capital flows in 2017, JLL's data showed.
Chinese mainland investors will continue to be interested in diversifying their portfolios, which has been one of the key drivers for the exponential growth of Chinese outbound investment over the past years, JLL predicted.

Han Solo! Princess Leia! The Emperor!
Posted By Pramath | On 08th, Oct. 2015 Under News | Follow This Author @Pramath1605
The files for the PC version of Star Wars: Battlefront's beta have revealed some very interesting thing- digging around in the files, enterprising PC players have been able to find details that have not yet leaked, and all of them sound very exciting indeed. These files indicate that classic Star Wars characters such as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the Emperor, none of whom have actually been confirmed for the game yet, may in fact be in.
You can see this for yourself- assuming you are running the PC version of the beta, all you have to do is go to program files, origin games, and battlefront, click on the data folder, then the win32 folder. Find the file called "characters.sb" and start poking around in it- there you will find files for Han Solo, Princess Leia and Emperor Palpatine.
That's nerdgasmic enough, but it is not all- another file "/data/challenges/forest_chapter_25_herobattle" seems to indicate that a new game mode called Hero Hunt will be in the game too. We don't know what Hero Hunt is, but it sounds like a shooting gallery where you have to snipe all the famous Star Wars characters. I'm down.

Here's another big clump of Haplographic features waiting for a victim. And soon one scribe came, to fulfill the requirement of falling on one's copy-face.
HomoioArcton/Teleuton is written all over these five consecutive clauses. Since the list of Ten Commandments is not complete anyway, who is going to notice one of five examples falling through the cracks?
No scribe/editor would add only one commandment to an incomplete list. Its another case of Paul's wordiness causing a copyist to poke himself in the eye with his stylus.
W/H, Nestle, UBS2 all omit, following Codex B even when the oldest Uncial, Codex Sinaiticus chooses to differ, exposing this to be a Haplographic error more recent than the ancestor of either manuscript. Now is a good time to take note that papyri like P46 are not that much older (c. early 3rd cent.), and may even be close relatives of an intermediate exemplar for Vaticanus (B).
"modern" translations follow Hort in omitting the Commandment, and also omitting any witness to the tampering, false or otherwise (nyuk nyuk).

The ID card scheme lacks "robust" governance and design, according to government advisers of the project.
Clear requirements for IT systems have yet to be set in stone, for the project which is now estimated to cost £4.7bn, according to the 'Independent Scheme Assurance Panel Report for 2007'.
The news comes even though key IT suppliers were shortlisted last October.
While flexibility on the project was important, it "does not excuse the programme from the need to adequately detail the requirements for ICT systems, processes and operations", the report warned. This was crucial for the programme to be delivered on time, it said.
The ISAP panel consists of senior IT experts including high profile chief information officers in industry, and was formed in 2005 after a report by the Biometrics Assurance Group said the scheme needed independent monitoring.
In the report, the panel said the government should focus on putting in place "a robust and transparent operational data governance regime and a clear data architecture". It said these must recognise "the value of data and the risks associated with inappropriate access" to it.
It criticised the project for being led by "infrastructure demands", rather than usage and benefits. Plans to use the Department for Work and Pensions Oracle-based Customer Information System, it said, could focus attention on benefits but also bring integration complexity.
Delivery priorities were also questioned, and the report said they would be clearer "if backed up by a simple statement of the rationale for each of the scheme's key design decisions".
Data governance standards and management needed to be addressed, and go beyond "simple data security", it warned.
In a damning statement on planning by the project's managers, the report advised: "The panel suggest the programme should verify that it has the capability to manage integration, and that the complexity of integrating increasingly interdependent systems across government is considered."
It said there needed to be "clarity around the interface protocols between the scheme and existing systems", and reminded the government that the integration remained its responsibility, not that of suppliers.
It must be clear who is responsible for the integrity of data handling, it said, advising good governance to be "designed in" to processes and teams of people, as well as the technology. Error detection and correction were vital.
Phil Booth, national co-ordinator at the NO2ID campaign, which called the scheme "chaos", slammed the government over progress. "No specification, no departmental buy-in, no rationale for key design decisions and no ministerial control. This is official confirmation that the Identity and Passport Service is a runaway train."
Yesterday, the government also published its own cost estimates for the scheme, in which it officially knocked nearly £1 billion off costs, meaning the scheme would cost £4.7 billion at current estimates. But it was heavily criticised for changing the method by which it counts costs and extending the role of the private sector in assuming those costs.
In March, the government slowed down its plans for the scheme, cancelling the requirement for citizens to have ID cards, despite that obligation under plans by former prime minister Tony Blair. But the National Identity Register, which will contain personal details on citizens, will remain.

Going social
Jeremy Goldman
Going Social is a textbook for web 2.0. The web has become a social aqnimal and if you don't know how to use it you get lost. Trying to figure it out is equally as difficult. With out help keeping up is impossible. This book is the textbook to your survival.
I was a web freelancer who took time off to mourn the loss of a family member. When I was able to cope with the concept of work again the web I came back to was an entirely different place. Getting myself back up and running the way I knew didn't work. Struggling is a polite way of saying what is going on in my business. Hopefully now as I understand the new order of things my freelancing will pick up again I will begin to pick up again. I will be grateful for this textbook for a long time. A must in understanding web 2.0

Transportation options are plentiful in the greater Flagstaff area, giving visitors and residents easy and convenient options for traveling to and from the numerous destinations in the area and beyond. With rail, air, shuttles and roadways ready to fulfill any and all transportation needs, visitors can get in and around the Flagstaff area with ease.
Traveling by air just got sweeter for passengers traveling in and out of Flagstaff. American Airlines recently began offering seasonal direct service to Los Angeles International Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. These two services come in addition to the Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport.
The new flights will offer first class and economy sections on the 70-seat planes, giving travelers multiple options to choose from.
"Adding these flights has been a goal for the airport since August of 2010," said Barney Helmick, Pulliam Airport director.
Helmick said these flights give international visitors extra options on where to connect in order to get to Flagstaff. He hopes these are just the first of many additional direct flights to and from Pulliam Airport.
"We are still talking to other airlines to add additional (direct flight) destinations," Helmick said. "We are hoping to be able to, one day, offer nonstop flights to San Francisco and Denver."
Tickets for the flights have been on sale since December and have seen a good success rate thus far.
"We hope to see 100 percent sold on these first test flights to help show the need for these direct flights here," Helmick said.
For visitors coming to the area, Flagstaff's train station is a must-see destination. The station is in the heart of downtown on Historic Route 66 near lodging, shopping and dining, and is also home to the city's visitor center.
The station boasts amenities such as Amtrak ticketing, a gift shop, information and short or long term parking. Amtrak's Southwest Chief line is one of the most scenic routes in the country and runs through Flagstaff twice a day on its route between Chicago and Los Angeles.
For those looking to explore the surrounding area, Arizona Shuttle is a perfect choice. Arizona Shuttle provides 13 round trips daily, with service between Flagstaff, Phoenix, the Grand Canyon and Sedona.
Arizona Shuttle works closely with Amtrak in order to provide shuttles for a large majority of their patrons, said Matthew Hutchinson, operations manager for Arizona Shuttle in Flagstaff.
"In addition to Amtrak riders, we have a large number of people using our service to the Grand Canyon," he said. "We make three runs per day from Flagstaff to the canyon."
To get around on ground economically, bus travel in Flagstaff is the way to go. It's an inexpensive way to see the area, and Mountain Line, managed by the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transit Authority, has a fleet of hybrid-electric buses that give passengers an affordable and convenient mode of transportation.
