A Royal Talent
IT'S NOT EASY to steal scenes from Meryl Streep, but Emily Blunt managed to do just that as the love-to-hate-her assistant in The Devil Wears Prada. Blunt followed up that Golden Globe-nominated role with a series of diverse and fascinating characters, and the world hasn't been able to take its eyes off the actress ever since. (Of course it doesn't hurt her cool factor that she's engaged to The Office's lovable and hysterical John Krasinski.) In her latest film, Blunt takes on none other than Queen Victoria, capturing a part of the royal's life we don't often see. We recently sat down with the divine Brit to talk great parts, amazing costars and staying out of the Hollywood spotlight.
Los Angeles Confidential: Tell me a little about the movie you're shooting in New York City.
Emily Blunt: It's called The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon, and it's based on a Philip K. Dick short story that has a sci-fi element to it. But it's supposed to be a modern love story about two people destined to be against the system—the slightly big-brother-esque system. My character happens to be a world-class contemporary dancer, and that's hilarious because I cannot dance.
LAC: Have you had dance training for the part?
EB: Yeah. Every day I'm in dance boot camp. It's a wonderful idea to have the girl be a dancer, but it's very high maintenance. I'm really loving the challenge. I'm training with this amazing ballet company, and it's been a real awakening for me when it comes to fitness. Everything hurts all the time.
LAC: In The Young Victoria, which is released this month, you capture a side of Queen Victoria that perhaps a lot of people don't know about—her sort of tortured existence becoming a queen so young and then being in a bad marriage. Tell me about the role.
EB: I really felt it was one of those rare parts to play, a character with such gravitas. I loved that the script was really focused on a dysfunctional family more than royalty. I thought it was a fresh look at her and royalty and a more intimate look because you really see the private life. She is a young girl, she is way over her head, and she doesn't get on with her mother. She's in love, and she's a teenager. All of us were on the same page in that we wanted to make [the characters] very real. I thought it was interesting to offer the performance side of her life and the private side.
LAC: What's so fascinating about your career is the diverse characters you've played from The Devil Wears Prada to Sunshine Cleaning and now The Young Victoria. What is it about a character that attracts you
EB: It really is if they surprise me. It's hard to specify why I respond to someone, or why anyone responds to anyone in real life. I like complexity, and I like people. People with some kind of inner turmoil going on are always interesting, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a dramatic role. I don't tend to go for passive characters, and I don't tend to go for one-dimensional people because I don't think people really are that way. I like characters who are hard to read—you have to find out who they are.
LAC: You've accomplished so much at the young age of 26. How have you managed to stay—for the most part—out of the limelight and away from some of the bad decisions we see a lot of young actresses make.
EB: Well, you wear underwear. That helps.
LAC: Well done, Emily.
EB: And you don't go to the "scenes." I've never wanted to, and Hollywood parties are not necessarily what I strive to be a part of. They're really fun, but I think I probably have more fun behind closed doors. I think it's easy to have balance if you make the choice not to be affected by the invasion [of privacy]. For me it's a slight invasion, but it's not huge. I know some people are completely hounded, and that's certainly not the case for me. I feel very fortunate, and I know it's a cliché, but I have an extraordinary job, and I know it's not like any other job.
LAC: Your career started on stage with Judi Dench, which is an amazing place to start. Later you were in a movie with Meryl Streep, and she praised you as one of the best young actresses she's ever seen. Does that feel surreal to you?
EB: Surreal is completely the word. It is utterly surreal and mildly embarrassing, and I slightly disconnect from myself. It's a little too much, like my brain farts. I'm very grateful. It's very cool.
LAC: You're engaged to the lovely John Krasinski. Can you tell us how the wedding plans are going?
EB: There's definitely no way I could speak of plans because there literally aren't any.
LAC: Just one day it will happen.
EB: One day.
LAC: He's so funny.
EB: He's so funny it's painful.
LAC: He seems very down-to-earth. Is that part of what makes it a good relationship?
EB: I think it's really important to be down-toearth— for everyone to be down-to-earth. I feel that of my friends and my family. I think it's vital to have that, and I think that's the way to survive this business, too. If you're down-to-earth and if you have a sense of humor and irony about things, I think you'll survive just fine.
LAC: Let's talk about some of your other upcoming films. You're doing The Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro.
EB: He's the best. He's bonkers in every way that's right. I had a blast with him. And there's so much about him that people don't know, but I love the kind of mystique he's managed to maintain. I think he's really extraordinary to watch. He's very brave. I love people who make a choice that's left of center—but not for the sake of being weird, just for the sake of being interesting. I love that about him. And he is fiercely bright. Don't try and outsmart him when it comes to music. You'll fail.
LAC: You play a damsel-in-distress character.
EB: Oh, I'm so innocent and pure, it's almost an eyesore. I usually play a bitch, so it's really fun.
LAC: And tell me about another film you have coming out, Gulliver's Travels.
EB: I play a princess in it, so this one will be for my future children. It was really too much fun—I love Jack Black. And Jason Segel's a delight; it was a blast. I got to play someone who's not really bright, and that was fun—the princess who's about three steps behind the joke.
LAC: You are pretty good at picking costars.
EB: I'm so lucky with costars. I feel like I've worked with people who have their stuff figured out. I feel really lucky. And I learn from them every day— every single day.
LAC: You split your time between London and LA, right?
EB: My family is in London, so it will always be where I'm from and where my roots are, but I'm in LA most of the time now.
LAC: Tell us some of your favorite places to go in LA.
EB: But then I'd be giving away my dive bars. And then they won't be my dives anymore.
LAC: Okay. Don't give away your favorite. Give away your second favorite.
EB: I ate at El Compadre Restaurant recently, and I crushed those enchiladas. They were so good. I dominated that food. I inhaled it. And the margaritas are off the charts. I'm gonna recommend that place if you want cheesy Mexican food. It is unreal. And I love AOC, and I think Cafe Stella is great.
- they talk about John Krasinski
- Craig really loves America
- Emily talks about her dog, Finn, and Craig sits on his Harley while watching his pitbulls fight
- Emily & John getting married underwater by a scuba diving priest
- Emily is learning how to play the ukulele
- awkward silence.
I love Craig & Emily together (I love him interviewing any Brit really). They're hilarious.

Ramco HCM on Cloud
Retail - Industry overview and trend
Retailers today are faced with the challenge of ensuring enhanced customer experience and loyalty, while maintaining a healthy bottom-line. Most of them realize that the loyalty of the customer is directly dependent on the loyalty and motivation of its workforce. Just as the external customer experience impacts profitability, it is important to maximize the employee's (internal customer's) experience to increase job satisfaction, improve ambassadorship, and reduce employee turnover.
To keep the workforce engaged with the organization, a constructive communication channel needs to be fostered. Be it online peer discussions for professional support or getting recognized for a job well done in a social forum, the end result would be that employees get to enjoy their work, get motivated and become strong ambassadors for the organization. Many retailers offer their employees increased communication by deploying mobile applications to foster a constructive and engaging work environment.
- Manpower is planned by the square feet of retail space owned and adjusted for the relevant seasonal variations.
- Since customer service is the most overt and high volume activity in retail, employers must know and constantly validate employees' personal and professional conduct.
- The question is how aware employees are of these facts or how these facts play a role in their work-life. Selling a pair of branded glasses requires an engaging and clinical approach, while selling fruits requires a passion for hygiene and packaging.
Imperatives for HR
Talent Acquisition & Development
- Establish connect between the employee and the brand
- Address talent gaps from within and outside, targeting young and temporary workforce for seasonal needs

- Set up a retail-specific training calendar for staff
- Set up and monitor store-wise targets
- Develop a pay-for-performance culture
- Track employee movements (in and out of stores)
Compensation & Benefits
- Automate Time Management for staff and integrate with Payroll
- Reward employees for successful conduct
- Gamify the results of the training program and reward employees instantly
- Address the needs of multiple types of workforce— hourly, seasonal, and contingent workers—aligned to store-wise targets
Employee Empowerment
- Conduct employee satisfaction surveys
- Implement staff suggestion schemes
- Life Event Reporting
Statutory & Compliance
- Conduct audits and surprise checks on staff to ensure compliance with model of conduct
Ramco HCM Solution
- Use Competency Models to define the model business conduct
Workforce Management
- Ramco Time Management system is tailored for all employment grades
- Use reason types to trace the drivers behind employee life events – why is an employee going on leave and how many times has this reason been quoted?
- Automates the entire hiring process
- Allows sourcing from multiple channels—internal, job referrals, job sites and social networking sites
- Facilitates onboarding with automated pre and post-joining formalities, enabling an employee to get productive quickly
Talent Management
- The Behavioral Appraisal process allows Talent Managers to capture the results of a surprise check or a formal audit on the employee's model of conduct
Employee Development
- Offers Training Administration that allow users to set up the training calendar and program, enroll employees, monitor their attendance, and capture their performance and feedback
- Allows managers to define how to spot and reward successful performers through the gamification framework and link results to Payroll
Payroll and Benefits
- Ramco In-memory Payroll (Minnal) may be harnessed for quicker results, given that Payroll is highly computation-intensive
Employee Self Service
- Employee Survey feature allows vital "employee speak" to reach the ears of Talent Managers
- Comprehensive in scope
- Opens uber-cool UI through the Ramco Workspaces concept – all the data needed to make a decision is presented as a chart for quick analysis and action
- Context aware—the software 'recognizes' and knows the users from erstwhile usage patterns
- Self Service available on a mobile device
- The system is "socially" aware of its employees, if policies permit this
- Employee Relations processes such as Grievances and Disciplinary action, enable automation of data related to employee conduct and behavior, and this is an integral part of safety reporting

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — After four days of deliberation, the jury in the racially tinged trial of Michael Dunn, a Florida man who set off another firestorm over the state's self-defense laws when he shot a teenager to death in a parking lot during a dispute over loud music, said it could not agree on whether Mr. Dunn had acted to protect himself or was guilty of murder.
The jurors did find Mr. Dunn guilty of three counts of second-degree attempted murder for getting out of his car and firing several times at the Dodge Durango sport utility vehicle in which Jordan Davis, 17, was killed. Three other teenagers, the subjects of the attempted murder charges, were in the car but were not struck. Mr. Dunn continued to fire at the vehicle even as it pulled away. On the attempted murder convictions, he could be sentenced to 60 years in prison.
Judge Russell L. Healey of Duval County declared a mistrial on the count of first-degree murder, which applied only in the death of Mr. Davis. The jury also failed to reach agreement on lesser charges that are automatically included in jury instructions. Those were second- and third-degree murder and manslaughter.
The state attorney for Jacksonville, Angela Corey, said immediately after the verdict that she planned to retry Mr. Dunn on first-degree murder. Ms. Corey said she hoped jurors would explain why they could not agree on that charge, which could help her team in the new trial.
Mr. Davis's parents, who wept after the verdict, said they were grateful for the jury's decision to convict Mr. Dunn of attempted murder and would await his retrial. "It has been a long, long road, and we're so very happy to have a little bit of closure," said Lucia McBath, Mr. Davis's mother.
Mr. Dunn's lawyer, Cory Strolla, said that Mr. Dunn was in shock over the verdict and that his parents were "devastated."
"There were no winners; everybody lost," Mr. Strolla said. "It's hard to call it a victory."
Mr. Dunn's sentencing hearing was expected to occur in March.
The case was steeped in racial overtones. Mr. Dunn, 47, is white, and the teenagers black. It also drew renewed attention to Florida's expansive self-defense laws that allow people who say they feel threatened to use lethal force to protect themselves. The trial began six months after the verdict in another high-profile case that focused on race, in which George Zimmerman was acquitted in the fatal shooting of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin.
The 12 jurors, who had been sequestered since Feb. 6, consisted of four white men, four white women, two black women, one Hispanic man and one Asian-American woman. Some black leaders expressed disappointment that there were no black men on the jury.
The deadlock means that at least one juror had reasonable doubt about the prosecution's version of events.
The prosecutors had argued that Mr. Dunn did not shoot Mr. Davis in self-defense, as he testified. He shot him, they said, because he was enraged that when he asked the teenagers to turn down the music booming from their vehicle in a gas station parking lot — Mr. Dunn described it to his fiancée as "thug music" — Mr. Davis did not do so and then cursed him repeatedly.
Mr. Dunn, who was visiting from out of town, left the scene and did not call 911 or the police after the shooting. Instead, he returned to his hotel, and the next morning drove two and a half hours to his home in Brevard County. The prosecutors said his behavior did not jibe with the actions of a man who had fired in self-defense. They also argued that Mr. Dunn had had enough time to reflect before shooting, which was why they accused him of premeditated murder.
Coming on the heels of the failure to convict Mr. Zimmerman in July, the verdict was a blow to Ms. Corey, who was the special prosecutor in the Zimmerman case.
"The verdict won't sit well with the black community in Jacksonville," said Ken Jefferson, a vice president for Operation Save Our Sons, a group that tries to help young men in Jacksonville, where blacks make up 30 percent of the population. "There is a feeling of being able to shoot black people and get away with it," he said, particularly after the Zimmerman case.
Mr. Strolla said the prosecutors had overcharged Mr. Dunn, reaching for premeditated murder because they were seeking vindication after their showing in the Zimmerman trial.
Mr. Dunn, who testified on Tuesday, told jurors that Mr. Davis had pointed a shotgun at him from the window of the Durango, threatened to kill him and then tried to get out of the car. It was only then, Mr. Dunn said, that he reached into his glove box, unholstered his 9-millimeter pistol, put a round in the chamber, and fired 10 times.
"It was Jordan Davis who kept escalating this to the point where I had no choice but to defend myself," Mr. Dunn said on the stand. "It was life or death."
Mr. Davis, a high school senior who had spent the day with three friends on the day he was killed, Nov. 23, 2012, was hit three times and died in the car. He would have turned 19 on Sunday.
The prosecutors argued that Mr. Dunn had fabricated his story about the shotgun to bolster his self-defense claim. The police never found a shotgun, and no witnesses ever reported seeing one. The teenagers testified that none of them had a shotgun in the car. That was why no one shot back at Mr. Dunn, the prosecutors said.
The trial, which lasted six days before deliberations began on Wednesday, was the latest courtroom test for Florida's expansive self-defense statutes, including the so-called Stand Your Ground provision. Under the law, Mr. Dunn needed only to have been convinced that he saw a shotgun, whether or not one was present.
Since their son's death, the Davises have worked to try to change Florida's self-defense laws, including the Stand Your Ground provision, which grants wide latitude to people who believed they face a threat. The prosecutors portrayed Mr. Dunn as a man who felt threatened right away because he viewed the teenagers as "gangsters." Mr. Strolla disputed that notion and said Mr. Dunn has maintained it was the violent rap subculture, not race, that influenced Mr. Davis's behavior.
Legal analysts said the defense had a relatively weak case because only Mr. Dunn said he had seen a shotgun, and his fiancée's testimony undermined his credibility. To back his claim, Mr. Dunn was forced to testify, always a risky move since it opens a defendant up to cross-examination. "He testified very straightforward and honest," Mr. Strolla said.
In what prosecutors called a "wow" trial moment, the fiancée, Rhonda Rouer, shaking on the witness stand, said that Mr. Dunn had not mentioned to her in the night and day they spent together before his arrest that any of the teenagers had a shotgun. Ms. Rouer was inside the gas station convenience store when the shooting occurred.
But there were weaknesses in the prosecutors' case.
Mr. Strolla repeatedly told jurors that no shotgun had been found because the police had failed to thoroughly search for it.
The teenagers, he said, had three minutes to hide the weapon after they drove to a nearby lot to escape the gunfire.
"They thought this was just another murder in Jacksonville," Mr. Strolla, referring to the police, said at a news conference before the verdict.
Mr. Strolla also underscored what he said were inconsistencies in the testimony of the teenagers and cast doubt on the witness who said he had heard Mr. Dunn say, "You're not going to talk to me that way," before reaching for his pistol.

Inspired by this [totally postcard-worthy] beach sunset/baby-pink-sky situation, I set out to capture some photographs featuring my newest monochromatic handmade dress by Zoe Elizabeth Designs. Made from beautifully soft fabric in a fit that is perfect for balmy beach days, followed by humid long summer nights, this was one of the first pieces I put in my suitcase when packing (…everything, including the kitchen sink…). I found some frangipani flowers just chilling by the pool patiently waiting to be picked by yours truly, so included these in the photographs too (because, nature).
ANYWAYS it is cocktail hour, and that dreamy sunset is calling me, so I best be off. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday evening.

Founded in 1966, the internationally recognized and acclaimed Series 'Palaeoecology of Africa' publishes interdisciplinary scientific papers on landscape evolution and on former environments of the African continent. Beginning with topics such as changes in climate and vegetation cover, the papers expand horizons and interconnections to various types of environmental dynamics from the Cainozoic up to the present; moreover, the aspect of human influence since the Late Quaternary is related to many of the areas studied.
Volume 31 presents four comprehensive papers on long- and short-term processes of landscape evolution (geological history, neotectonics and proxy Quaternary alluvia), as well as a recent regional perspective on environmental problems in Southern Cameroon. The book acts as a showcase for successful North-South cooperation and capacity building for empowering African Universities. It is problem oriented and applied, and illustrates how scientific and interdisciplinary cooperation can work. In the framework of the German Research Foundation's (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) funded "Rain Forest Savanna Contact" project (2003-2009) two abbreviated English versions of PhD theses are here published, one by J. Eisenberg on neotectonics and the other by M. Sangen on river sediments in rain forest-savanna transitional zones. Complementary articles are an introduction on geological history, by B. Kankeu et al. and a paper on environmental risks by M. Tchindjang et al., together these complete the results of this joint German-Cameroonian research project.
This book will be of interest to all concerned with ecosystems dynamics, tropical forests, savannas and related development problems of Third World countries, especially regional planners, ecologists, botanists, earth scientists and students of the Quaternary (e.g. LGM and Holocene ecosystem dynamics, Global Change). It will be valuable for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates as a reference for new research articles on the topic of long‐term geologic‐tectonic and Quaternary landscape evolution in an up‐to‐now not well explored marginal area of the Western Congo basin.

All we're waiting for is that 'official' proper publication date of 11th August.
And we were talking about it all yesterday, and realised it suddenly felt too proper, too organised, all focused on one date, when really it's nothing more than a collection of talented people coming together for the fairly long term event of celebrating a brilliant book from the 60s, which, we think, is now more relevant than ever.
So really, we thought bollocks to the planning, let's get on with the doing.
The book is now live to pre-order and copies will be with you a week from now (beautifully wrapped in its very own wrapping paper). So go on, go get it, even before the film shows you what to do with it :)
And be sure to tell us what you think of it. (It goes without saying we hope you love it.)

Helsinki – March 30th – The Helsinki REDS will attend Copenhagen Games in Denmark during Easter week. The REDS participate in Dr.Oetker Pizzaburger Overwatch tournament (http://copenhagengames.com/tournaments/pizzaburger-overwatch) which will be played between April 13th and 15th. This will be the REDS' first trip abroad, and it will be pivotal to display our growth as a team in the European LAN stage. The experience on how longer trips are dealt with by the players and the staff as well is an important factor.
"It has been a privilege to watch the roster of 6 players develop during the last 5 months, and I believe that the visibility and the level of play at Copenhagen Games will make us even stronger as a team and organization. LAN experience starts to be a really important factor in our development and we need to make use of good opportunities like CPH to take steps in that area of competitive gaming", says team manager Christer Kasurinen.

2 Ways To Get Power At Your Hunting CabinShare
If you have a cabin up in the woods where you spend a few weeks a year hunting, you probably want to be as comfortable at your cabin as you are at home. One thing that you may think that you need in order to be comfortable is electricity. That way you can run a refrigerator, charge your devices, and have lights. The problem with getting power out to your cabin is that if it is up in the woods, you probably can't run a power line out to it. There are other alternatives that you can use so you can power up your cabin.
One option is to bring a generator out to your cabin. There are a variety of sizes that you can choose from. You can get a generator that is just big enough to run a couple of lights and charge your devices or one that is big enough to power your entire cabin, including a refrigerator, stove, and oven. While you can get the right size generator, there are some problems with using a generator to power your hunting cabin. One of the problems is that you have to transport enough fuel to run your generator. That means you either have to storing the fuel in large tanks at your cabin or bring fuel every time you come up. Another problem is that generators are loud and smelly. You don't want to have anything noisy that might drive away the animals that you are there to hunt or that can disturb the peace you may be looking for.
Another option available to you is to use solar panels. You install the panels on your roof or on a stand near your cabin. The panels absorb the energy given out by the sun, and then send it to the inverter. From the inverter, the power can either go straight to whatever you want to be powered, or you can send the juice to batteries and then pull the energy from the batteries. The nice thing about filling batteries is that they tend to hold on to the power for a long time, so if you are going to be away from your cabin for a few weeks or months, you can disconnect the system and the batteries will still be ready to go when you get back. You can fill as many batteries as you want, which will make sure that you have power if it gets dark, snowy, or at night. For more information on installing a solar panel system at your cabin, contact a company in your area that sells cabin solar energy kits.
A lot of people really enjoy hunting. If you have a hunting cabin that you visit, you want to be comfortable there. Having power is one way to do that .

Sorry for not updating Globe NOMAD Rider blog for almost a week.. i have been enjoying my life with my all new... Yeap, a spanking brand new BMW R1200 GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary... Yes, you've heard me, you bunch of haters... it's BMW R1200 GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary... HooRahh!!!
I collected the GS Adventure 30 Year Anniversary on last Monday (16th November 2010) from BMW Motorrad's Auto Bavaria @ Glenmarie Shah Alam.. it was the happiest day of my life.. ever!
Earlier in the morning, i was at Road Transport Department to register the bike, get the bike registration card and road tax.. Obviously i can let the BMW Motorrad sales rep to sort it out for me, but it may take another day.. As i could not wait, i would rather do it myself and learn the process of registering a vehicle on my own..
At noon, i was already at Auto Bavaria with the registration card and road tax... i met Sahran Ali (Motorrad sales rep) and he was doing the final touch of the number plate on my new bike (RJ 131)..
After signing couple of thick documents for loan purposes, we did the official bike key hand-over ceremony by snapping few photos and the bike was ready to be taken out of the BMW Motorrad showroom.. The GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary is now Officially mine after 2 months of delivery waiting!! OooWieeee!!
i could have taken the bike home by 3.00 pm but the day was pissing heavily... i ended up chilling out with Sahran and my mate, Yen, at Motorrad until it was almost 6.00 pm, the rain had stopped...
As the bike was brought to the main entrance, it was time for me to crank the bike's engine up and started to learn few do's and dont's with the bike... well, it's pretty easy with the buttons.. very simple and straight forward..
i was very amazed with ACS (Automatic Stability Control), ABS, Tire Pressure, etc etc... Some sad wankers have been saying the BMW motorcycles have many electronic problems.. Well my advice is: If you can't get one BMW motorrad, just STFU!! Hahahaa
Anyway, enough of talking and do enjoy the photos on the day when GS1200 Adventure 30 Years Anniversary is officially mine!!!
For your info, there are only 13 units of GS1200 Adventure 30 Years Anniversary have been brought in Malaysia and all of them have already been taken... It costs RM 130,000.00 (excluding panniers) and that's how much a serious traveler like me would pay for this piece of machine..
The R1200 GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary is very limited, a rare piece of machine and i'm glad to be a part of BMW Motorrad's herritage since the first GS model (R80 GS) was introduced back in 1980... Hahahahaaa... Also, i'm the happiest GS Adventure owner in the world because this is my very FIRST BMW bike!!!
More write-ups of the 30 Years Anniversary of GS can be found here: 30 Years Anniversary of BMW GS
Now i can proudly say it out loud:
Apa Barangggggggggg!!!
F**k Yeahhhhh!! F***cckkkk Yeaaahhhhhhhh!!!

Choc Maca Cookies
Vegan. Dairy Free. Gluten Free. Fructose Free. Makes 12
These delicious choc maca cookies are super quick, easy and moreish. If you don't have cacao nibs you can use roughly chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (raw, dairy free or regular – its up to you). By using dark chocolate you will satisfy your sweet tooth faster and will not have to go through the whole batch to get your fix. If you like your cookies crunchy use 2 cups of almond meal, if you like them slight chewy use 1.5, they may seem a bit oily when you roll them into balls to flatten on the baking paper but do not fear, they come out a treat.INGREDIENTS:
1.5-2 cups of almond meal
3 tbsp of coconut oil
3 tbsp of rice malt syrup
1 tsp of vanilla essense
1/4 tsp of rock or sea salt
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of baking powder
1 tbsp of cacao powder
3 tbsp of cacao nibs
2 tsp of maca powder METHOD:
Preheat oven to 170 degrees and cover a large baking tray with some baking paper.
Combine all ingredients ensuing the mixture comes together well when compressed. If you find the mixture too sticky add a little extra almond meal or if its too crumbly some extra coconut oil.
Roll mixture into "bliss ball" sized portions and flatten with a folk that has been run under warm water. Place in the oven for 15mins before removing from the oven and set aside to cool.
They will seem rather soft when they first come out of the oven but don't worry, they will firm up as they cool.

Twelve Thousand Years of Human History: As Recorded on Historical Markers in Minnehaha County, SD
Bruce Blake of Sioux Falls compiled and edited this book, which covers some 258 county markers. Blake, a retired lawyer and historian, is responsible for a good share of the markers himself. For over 20 years he has been "the marker man," researching, getting funding, overseeing the text (often of his own authorship), arranging for casting, and supervising the erection of more than 150 markers. His efforts have won him many awards, including membership in the South Dakota Hall of Fame.
About 12 years ago, Blake conceived of the book which would account for all the markers in the county, both official and unofficial, along with further elaboration on the text, the stories behind the markers, and maps, photographs, drawings, and other images related to the markers. The result is an epic tome of more than 550 pages, capturing all aspects of the county, from the geologic record through the prehistoric, territorial periods and statehood, to the present era.
What makes the book unique is the way Blake has expanded coverage to include connections of the county history to state and national interests, demonstrating the relatedness of all historic events, the way they reverberate, are affected by and in turn affect a much broader area.
One example of the expanded view is how the Wounded Knee tragedy connected to the county history. Tasunke-Ota (Plenty Horses), tried for murder in the aftermath of the landmark event, and Zintkala Nuni (the Lost Bird), a survivor of of the slaughter, both have ties to Sioux Falls.
Broad coverage includes towns that no longer exist officially, church histories, and both celebrated and notorious personalities.
A 15-page Index with more than 2000 entries allows easy access to the names and places covered. Included are more than 780 photographs and illustrations, backgrounds on 50 key contributors, and 35 maps.
Jjust $32.99 plus tax for each book, with shipping only $10 more for up to three books. Your book will be from the historic first printing of the book, which is limited to just 1000 copies.
All profits from the sale of Twelve Thousand Years of Human History go to the Marker Fund of the Minnehaha County Historical Society.

Allaboutsymbian.com review: "A good adventure game which can be recommended to anyone interested in the genre. There's no simple-minded action here, the puzzles do demand that you think about them so you can solve them. But if you're into adventure games then that's exactly what you want to hear."
Softonic.com review: "On the whole, it is a captivating game that perfectly recreates the old graphical adventure genre to help transport you back to the 80s."
Handango.com "CrazySoft team strikes back with this excellent game that offers an intriguing adventure, intelligent gameplay, clever puzzles and good lasting appeal. Highly recommended!"
The point and click interface is as easy as that: You point and click somewhere on the game and you have two options: 'Examine' (Click the eye) or 'Operate' (Click the hand). 'Examine' looks at the spot you clicked and 'Operate' tries to do something with this spot. Sometimes there are multiple choices that you can do or say. E.g.: 'Take the bottle' and 'Leave the bottle there'.In this case you will see this choice box before the text.Just click the choice you wish once to select it and once more to activate it. Its as simple as that!
The game is really open. You can go almost wherever you want. If you want to get out of a place and visit another one just click on this icon. It means that there is an exit. The character icon shows where you are standing on the place. You can climb ladders, sit on chairs etc. You can 'Use Items from the inventory' to that icon as if you want to 'Operate' something on you. E.g.: If you have a trousers in the inventory and you want to wear it. You must click the trousers and then this icon.

Our Archive Department remains OPEN throughout the refurbishment of the museum.
Information about the great work we do here with historic archives
The museum's Archives department holds historic archives, technical documents and many thousands of photographs from the old Leyland Vehicles Group of companies which included vehicles from manufacturers such as Leyland, Albion, AEC, Scammell & Guy.
Technical documents include specification and chassis build sheets for these makes, and these can be made available to vehicle restorers, repairers and authors seeking information.
Our vast collection of period photographs has been reclaimed from glass plate images and after careful digital restoration by our archivists, we now have an ever growing library of pictures on file. These too are available for purchase on-line (click here to see range of photographs available).

Let's see, what's the weather like right now (sticks finger into the air). Speed, 1.2 million miles per hour, density 1.1 protons per cubic centimeter, temperature 200,000 degrees Celsius. Sound a bit extreme? Surely climate change hasn't made things THAT batty. As a matter of fact, conditions have calmed down in the last several hours.
Okay, I'm not talking Earth weather—if I were, we'd all be dead, fast. I'm talking space weather, and a subsidence in its condition following a powerful solar flare whose ejecta struck Earth on Tuesday, causing a strong geomagnetic storm, and some pretty Northern and Southern Lights.
The flare in question, associated with the big sunspot numbered 1402, erupted on January 23rd, launching a coronal mass ejection–a "cantaloupe" of plasma that makes Earth look like a grape. Rated as an M9-class flare, it packed umph just shy of what's necessary for adult "X-class" flaredom, the most power kind.
When it reached us the megablob of plasma struck Earth's magnetic field, causing the geomagnetic storm and a minor list of annoyances (communications interference, for the most part, and some reported concern to an electrical grid operator). On the showier side of solar activity, the storm generated spectacular auroras in high latitudes.
The Sun's magnetic activity—the source of disturbances like flares and oft-associated coronal mass ejections—has been on the rise for the last couple of years, heading for a forecasted peak in activity ("Solar Maximum") in 2013. We're in "storm season," with respect to the Sun's 11-year magnetic activity cycle, so we can expect more, and stronger, flares and geomagnetic storms in the next year or two to come.
Back when I was growing up (1960's) I learned that space is a vacuum, void of the gases we find in Earth's atmosphere. It was a stark picture of emptiness, at least as this child comprehended the data. Sure, sunlight and starlight streams through that vacuum, but other than that, Dr. Science explained, if I took one space-step outside of my personal Mercury space capsule without protection, I'd suffocate and my blood would boil and freeze at the same time—not to mention that I'd get cooked by the dangerous ultraviolet and X-ray radiation shining from the Sun.
Okay, close the Time-Life science series book entitled "Space" and open an astrophysics textbook of my 1960's youth era, and I would have learned that there's more to the vacuum of space than nothing.
Our Sun, a gargantuan fusion bomb that consumes a mass of hydrogen comparable to that of the entire human race each second, continually spews more than just sunlight into the space around it. Hot, electrically charged gas (plasma), mostly hydrogen nuclei and electrons, blended with an accompaniment of magnetic fields, blow outward from the Sun's surface and atmosphere all the time.
That's the solar wind, and its conditions, whether normal or stormy, is what makes space weather. So when you're curious about the weather conditions in the space surrounding Earth and its protective magnetic field, poke your finger skyward and extend your arm—oh—about 50,000 miles…or just go to a space weather website like Spaceweather.com.

A window into the life of the megalomaniacal Apple visionary as told in three acts in the frantic moments leading up to three launches (the 1984 Mac, the introduction of 1988's NeXT computer, and the iMac in 1998) as he strategizes, confronts, insults, embraces, threatens, or demeans several major players in his life including his faithful assistant and conscience Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslett), head programmer Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Sthulbarg), close friend and pc pioneer (Steve Wozniak), former Pepsi chair and current Apple CEO and father figure John Sculley (Jeff Daniels), and Chrisann Brennan, a troubled ex-girlfriend (Katherine Waterston) whose daughter Jobs initially denies paternity of. An endless source of fascinating, the latest Steve Jobs movie (and hopefully the last) was hatched by top industry talent. At first, Aaron Sorkin's relentless, droll, sometimes forced dialogue and Danny Boyle's kinetic, stylistic approach do not seem to mesh, but they eventually gain footing and even approach greatness, especially in a second act brilliantly edited and acted wrangle between Fassbender and Daniels. Although to my mind Michael Fassbender seems miscast, he appears to come close to the core of his enigmatic and in many ways despicable character and is given truly fine support by a uniformly excellent cast.

While the holidays may traditionally be a time for celebration, love, and family togetherness, they can also come with their share of stresses, worries, and overwhelm, and they can amplify feelings of loss. This year, wouldn't it be nice to move through the holiday season feeling clear, calm, abundant, and peaceful? How about feeling more connected, light-hearted, relaxed, and unconditionally loved?
With the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping rounds in EFT for the Holidays, you can essentially reset your mind, body, and emotions so you can spend this holiday season -- or any season -- in a happier and more balanced state of mind, regardless of circumstances and events.
EFT for the Holidays is a mini e-book offering five tapping rounds to help you reduce your stress on the following topics, which leave many people feeling uneasy during the holiday season:
1. Money: Release any financial stresses and worries and tap into your natural financial ease and abundance.
2. Expectations: Release old expectations and perfectionism and feel yourself relaxing and going with the flow.
3. Family Dynamics: Release any old challenging family dynamics and interactions, and feel more at ease within yourself, no matter what anyone else is doing.
4. Loss and Loneliness: Release feelings of grief, loss, and loneliness, and relax into your natural feelings of peace, relief, connection, happy memories, and overall well being.
5. Overdoing: Release old patterns doing and overdoing, and relax into just being and enjoying the moment.
All of the tapping rounds include a basic law of attraction viewpoint, which essentially means that:
1. What we focus on, we get more of.
2. All good things are possible, even if we don't know how to get there yet.
3. Our natural state is happiness, health, well-being, and abundance.
4. We can learn to relax and allow everything we desire to flow into our lives.
Even if you're not sure you believe these things, you can open yourself to the possibilities through a combination of EFT and the law of attraction.
Downloadable mini e-book (PDF File) -- 18 pages -- $6.95 U.S.
The mini e-book is in Adobe PDF file format, and you can download it immediately. If your computer doesn't have the Adobe Reader software, you can easily install it for free. Your e-book purchase is 100% safe and secure.

Gothidays 2012: Black Tree Phase Two
It's day two of the Gothidays 2012 blogging event at Professor Z's Cabinet of Curiosities. I continued my Christmas decorating by adding presents under the tree. In keeping with the color scheme of the tree (and my entire house), I used paper and bows in black, purple, silver and white.
The tree has purple LED lights which are very pretty reflected off the silver ornaments. Alas, my camera isn't sophisticated enough to get a good photo.
Labels: christmas, decorating

I am not usually one to make New Year's resolutions. This is mainly because, like most people, I don't stick to them. I always have good intentions but then…life gets in the way.
This year, however, I am making the most cliche resolution there is: exercise more and eat healthy.
2015 was an incredibly busy year for me. With traveling, writing, selling a house, buying a house, and a whole bunch of other things, worrying about working out and eating right was the last thing on my mind.
But when you have to jump up and down to get your jeans on, maybe it's time to change priorities.
My mom got my husband and I FitBits (thanks, mom!) and that has been really eye-opening so far. I walk WAY less than I thought I did and get less sleep as well.
I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight but if I can feel healthy and good about myself, then I'll be happy. (And if I can put my jeans on without it looking like a Cirque du Soleil act, then that's even better.)
Are you making any New Year's Resolutions? Do you find them hard to stick to?
