Match report
A game that should have been won was dominated by a referee who made one game-changing decision and showed complete bias throughout, to the disgust of the Pars fans, management and players. I have avoided criticising referees this season, even after poor displays by Craig Charleston and Stephen Finnie, but the performance by Gavin Duncan today was impossible to ignore and not comment on.
Nicky Clark returned to the Dunfermline line-up after injury, and was joined in attack by last week's goalscoring substitute, David Hopkirk. The team was unchanged apart from that and with a promotion play-off place still achieveable, Dunfermline had as much to play for as second-placed Falkirk.
Paul McMullan had a good early run that ended in Nicky Clark's header being saved by Falkirk keeper Robbie Thomson. McMullan then had a great chance himself but delayed a shot inside the box, and the chance was gone.
The referee then gave a yellow card to Mark Kerr after an outrageous challenge on Andy Geggan. It was a clear sending off but the referee decided otherwise. Falkirk's goal attempts in the first half were restricted to a couple of breakways and a long range effort by Craig Sibbald.
The first major incident of the second half changed the game and saw Falkirk's Miles Hipplolyte awarded for a blatant dive in the penalty box. Duncan instead awarded a penalty, and booked Sean Murdoch. Before the kick was taken, Murdoch and Callum Morris were substituted, to the amazement of the Pars support. Murdoch later appeared with a strapping on his knee. They were replaced by David Hutton and Lewis Martin. Hutton's first involvement was to see Aaron Muirhead's kick give Falkirk the equaliser. Lewis Martin then received a third yellow card in his last 5 appearancres for pushing an opponent in a goalscoring position. John Baird fell under Martin's challenge and the defender was sent off.
Nathan Austin got Falkirk's second against a Pars defence that included big Nat as a makeshift centre half.
Hippolyte then took encouragement from the penalty decision to commit a series of fouls on Pars players, knowing he would escape punishment. Duncan then gave Falkirk a free kick when Kallum Higginbotham was the victim of the foul; then told Hopkirk to get up after he was tripped by Peter Grant; and then finally booked Hopkirk for alleged diving after the Dunfermline forward was fouled. Falkirk keeper Thomson was then told off for timewasting, and proceeded to waste more time, with the referee disinterested and running away with his back to the goalkeeper.
Andy Geggan came close to scoring an equaliser with a header from a Higginbotham corner. Falkirk's players then fell to the ground under any slight contact, always refusing the physio so as not to have to leave the field. The referee was content to join in with the farce, and when he blew the final whistle, he was surrounded by irate Pars players and management. Nothing will be done - just as in the Hamilton cup tie, when Craig Thomson gave a penalty with a minute remaining after a dive, no mention was made by the media. The same thing will happen here.
An official complaint must be made against this referee. As for Falkirk FC, they have proved that filth has no conscience.

A very keen assessment of a game we didn't deserve to lose and an honest opinion of a referee who should be thoroughly ashamed of himself. Unfortunately the quality of refereeing in the Championship this season has been abysmal but at todays game it was positively biased and certainly dishonest in favour of the visitors.

Are you capable of having a constructive conversation without being abusive or throwing insults? Maybe then we will get somewhere.

Maybe the reason why comments keep getting deleted is because they are not communicating their opinions in a respectful way. I understand that some people disagree with what this article is all about and they are entitled to that. However, you should express your disagreement without using any foul words. Communicate well and do not bash one another just because you have different opinions. You have to respect one another because being aggressive will only lead to further misunderstanding and miscommunication.

On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Brookings Institute, Max Boot and Michael Doran are openly arguing for a return to the mafia-like political warfare of the Cold War era. "With the end of the Cold War," they lament unironically, "America's tradition of political warfare all but died."
How sad. The statement is anything but true, but Boot and Doran want the U.S. to recommence its long tradition of overthrowing democratically elected governments, covertly supporting foreign miscreants, distributing mass international propaganda, and dishing out torture and death through covert or third-party means. Specifically, this intensified campaign of coercion and warfare ought to be directed at – of course – the Middle East.
Clearly, the president needs options between military intervention and complete nonintervention — ways to influence developments in the Middle East without deploying Reaper drones or sending U.S. ground forces. To give Obama the tools he needs, the U.S. government should reinvigorate its capacity to wage "political warfare," defined in 1948 by George Kennan, then the State Department's director of policy planning, as "the employment of all the means at a nation's command, short of war, to achieve its national objectives." Such measures, Kennan noted, were "both overt and covert" and ranged from "political alliances, economic measures (as ERP — the Marshall Plan), and 'white' propaganda to such covert operations as clandestine support of 'friendly' foreign elements, 'black' psychological warfare and even encouragement of underground resistance in hostile states."
"At their worst," they admit, "such policies propped up strongmen with scant legitimacy — think Cuban president Fulgencio Batista and the shah of Iran — and invited anti-American 'blowback.' But at their best, they enabled the United States to aid freedom fighters behind the Iron Curtain and beyond."
I dare say they are drastically understating the "worst" effects and dramatically overstating the "best."
If we don't reinvigorate America's political warfare in the Middle East, they advise, then we will "cede the Middle East to malign actors such as Iran, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood," and "risk creating a situation that will require, at some point in the future another massive military intervention by the United States."
Notice the wording: if we don't rule the Middle East by force and coercion, we will "cede" it to others. This of course implies the Middle East belongs to us. And of course those other bad guys that we'll "cede" the region to are all "malign actors." Not us though: our policies of supporting dictatorship, engaging in illegal wars that kill hundreds of thousands, economic warfare, covert action, cyber-attacks, and aid to terrorist groups — those aren't malignant. Those are just to save everyone from other malignants.

Re-discovery of Pouch bearing sheath tailed bat Saccolaimus saccolaimus Temminck (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae) from Sri Lanka after 75 years
Keywords: Emballonuridae , bats , Insectivorous , Radio metacarpal pouch , Gular sac
Saccolaimus saccolaimus Temminck, 1838, was first collected by the Museum of Natural History of Sri Lanka in the year 1919 and the first published record of this bat was in 1935 by W.W.A. Philips, though specimens were collected at various times for the collection of the Natural History Museum of Sri Lanka. However, after 1936 there were no records of the species, though, several surveys were conducted on the bat fauna of the island. The species had not been reported since, and was considered as Data Deficient according to latest literature. Here we report on its re-discovery.

I love runners, I love chair rails covered in prints, I love busy wallpapers, I love gallery walls...all things that are visually cluttered and take up space. Space is what we don't have. But I do like when there is something in a hallway. It helps make the transition between rooms, it can be it's own quiet respite between busy rooms or an exciting punch between calm ones. We made a decision that is definitely toned down, so for now, I'll have to enjoy these punchy looks from afar.

Friends Followers Readers! Do I have a HOT spotlight for you today!
Both Gemini and Origin are on sale for .99 today, 10/28!
One sacrifice saved humanity.
One kill will change everything.
One secret could destroy them all.
Sometimes the most dangerous battle is the war within ourselves.
One sacrifice can save humanity.
So can one heartbeat. One kiss. One touch. I didn't save my Gemini's soul the night I rescued him from the dark realm. Cade Adams saved mine.
One kill has changed everything.
Since I eradicated the world's most dangerous demon, the Fallen factions are out for blood, and their target is my family: Genesis—the Origin of humanity. The only way to protect my legacy against an ancient prophecy threatening to take me out is to resume my reign as Chayah, Eternal Mother. But I can't remember her. My own secrets are buried so deep, even I can't reach them.
One secret could destroy us all.
EXCERPT from Origin:
Thousands of years loving Cade and five lifetimes leading Genesis are lost to me. While I've been off fighting to remember my own life, my family's been fighting each other. Our own demons just may destroy humanity's only defense against the darkness before the Eternal war has even begun.
Sometimes the most dangerous battle is the war within ourselves.
Book Excerpt:
"May I?" Cade tilted his head toward his fingers that firmly gripped the hem of my tank top, waiting for my consent.
I couldn't manage a single word, just nodded, my tongue nearly hanging out of my mouth.
I squeaked out a yes, and Cade promptly tiptoed his fingertips up to my waist, letting them drag slowly, torturously against my skin while he peeled my shirt up and off my grimy body.
I sucked in a breath, the whisper of Cade's touch forcing goose bumps dashing across my skin.
I'd waited for this night for months. Years, even.
Two days ago, however, I wasn't sure this moment was ever going to happen, and yet here we were. Twin Souls preparing to Converge.
Even the sound of the words spinning inside my brain set butterflies fluttering in my belly. I wasn't quite sure what converging souls meant, but at that moment, as Cade undressed me with his eyes, I couldn't wait to find out.
Cade gazed hungrily, never wavering focus as he tossed my nasty shirt in the trash. He set my hands on his bare waist, no doubt, inspiring them to explore.
Cade was sweaty and definitely needed a bath.
Didn't matter, though. No amount of grime could keep my hands steady. It had been a rare occasion I'd seen my Gemini bare-chested, and with unlimited access now, I wasn't about to waste the opportunity.
I chewed on my bottom lip, my gaze wandering down his broad chest to his abs. Despite the fact he'd been captive in a rotting cell for the past two months, his body told a different story. Firm, traceable lines made my fingertips greedy, inspiring them to follow the unexplored path across his tan stomach.
I hummed beneath my breath, and Cade let out a quiet laugh, lifting my chin to regain my attention.
He hovered over me at six-foot five, give or take an inch. I held my own, a dash shy of six feet now, but I liked being smaller than him. It was comforting when he held me.
I was protected. Safe.
"Sit." He gestured to the ledge of the tub, and I sat on the edge.
Cade kneeled in front of me, picking up each foot, one at a time, unlacing each boot and tossing it aside.
Butterflies swarmed. Knots tightened. Sweat pooled on my forehead, nervous energy building inside me.
Cade rose to his feet, a naughty crooked smile splashed across his face. He unbuttoned his jeans, pushing them down and kicking them off slowly, never taking his gaze from mine.
Iridescent wisps swirled in his eyes while he stood before me, absolutely bare.
And so. Freaking. Beautiful.
My breath caught. Gazing over his perfect body, I bit my bottom lip.
Couldn't help it.
I'd never seen a man naked before.

One of the most inspiring examples of leadership I ever witnessed took place in a classroom of mine. A dozen years ago, I took a substitute math and science teaching position in a small private school. I started four months into the year and filled the position until the school year ended.
I'd been having a tough time teaching a certain class effectively. One of my colleagues named Kyle happened to be the math chair of the school. He volunteered to come in and teach a lesson. I would watch him teach and increase my own confidence. I accepted his offer.
He came in and taught a rudimentary algebra lesson, easy stuff for him. He wrote a problem on the chalkboard, illustrating a certain algebraic function. Then he looked out at the class comprised of kids from grades 7-9 and said, "I bet you guys can do this."
Often people use sarcasm and trash-talk to try to get people to perform. You see this often in sports contests. Others try to guilt people into better performance in this or that arena of life. But this teacher, an ace, used an opposite tack. He set the bar high and confidently told the students they had what it took.
The result? You guessed it. The students rose to the challenge, solved the problem on the board and learned.
I can't tell you what concept we learned that day. But I will never forget his leadership in the classroom. It's why he was a great teacher.
You can take away a number of helpful things from this example:
- If you set the bar high for those you're responsible for, you will be pleasantly surprised to watch them meet and exceed the goal. Often we set it too low and then are baffled and frustrated by mediocre performance. The same is true for the goals we set for ourselves.
- Positive expressions of affirmation and encouragement will always be better than sarcasm and talking people down. I've never yet met a great leader who is fundamentally sarcastic and pessimistic.
Challenge: Set some high goals for yourself for the slower Summer months as well as the time after Labor Day when the pace accelerates. If you're a leader, issue inspiring and tough challenges for those under you. Then watch as you meet the objectives you've set. It's really not that hard. It's the pessimism, the internal and external trash-talk, that make the meeting of lofty goals difficult. But you're better than that!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) is a condition that influences a woman's hormone levels. Women with PCOS give higher than normal amounts of male hormones. This hormone irregularity causes them to skip menstrual periods.
PCOS also causes hair growth on the face, body, and baldness. It can extend to long-term health problems like diabetes and heart disease. Pills for birth control and diabetes drugs can help fix the hormone imbalance and improve symptoms. Read on for a glance at the causes of PCOS and its effects on a woman's body.
What is PCOS?
PCOS is a problem with hormones that affects women during their childbearing years(ages between 15 to 44). Between 2.2 and 26.7 % of women in this age group have PCOS. Many of the women have PCOS but unaware of it. One of the serves declared that up to 70% of women with PCOS hadn't diagnosed.
PCOS influence a woman's ovaries, the reproductive organs that produce estrogen and progesterone – hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. The ovaries also allow a small number of male hormones called androgens
The ovaries deliver eggs to be fertilized by a man's sperm. The discharge of an egg each month is known as ovulation.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) restraint ovulation. FSH spurs the ovary to give a follicle — a pouch that contains an egg — and then LH triggers the ovary to release a mature egg.
PCOS is a "syndrome," or group of symptoms that changes the ovaries and ovulation. Its three main features are:
- cysts in the ovaries
- high levels of male hormones
- irregular or skipped periods
In PCOS, many tiny, fluid-filled cysts grow inside the ovaries. The word "polycystic" means "many vesicles."
These sacs are actually follicles, each one carrying an immature egg. The eggs never mature sufficiently to trigger ovulation.
The lack of ovulation adjusts levels of estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH. Estrogen and progesterone levels are below than usual, while androgen levels are steeper than usual. Extra male hormones upset the menstrual cycle, so women with PCOS get fewer periods than usual.
Causes of PCOS
Doctors don't know accurately what effects PCOS. They assume that high levels of male hormones stop the ovaries from generating hormones and producing eggs normally.
Genes, insulin stability, and inflammation have all been linked to excess androgen generation.
Studies show that PCOS appears in families. It's likely that many genes — not just one — provide to the condition.
Insulin resistance
Up to 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance, meaning that their cells can't use insulin well. Insulin is a hormone the pancreas contributes to support the body use sugar from foods for energy. When cells can't use insulin properly, the body's demand for insulin raise. The pancreas makes more insulin to neutralize. Extra insulin triggers the ovaries to generate more male hormones. Obesity is a major cause of insulin resistance. Both obesity and insulin resistance can increase your peril for type 2 diabetes.
Women with PCOS often have grown levels of inflammation in their body. Being overweight can also provide to inflammation. Studies have associated excess inflammation to important androgen levels.
There are a few more factors that cause the PCOS for the Women.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects up to almost 27 % of women during their childbearing years. It involves cysts in the ovaries, huge levels of male hormones, and random periods.

Over the summer of 2010/11, as I was putting The Last Prom together and struggling to build my PT business, my friend Dave Finnegan was put in a sticky situation. Dave (pictured below dancing next to me), a writer and impresario whose experience and reputation far outstrips his still-tender years, had been approached by the Canberra Centenary and asked to fill the fringe-arts-festival sized gap in their program.
They have him 3 months, a pittance of funding and a High Concept: each event of the festival would be staged in vacant or repurposed shopfronts and public spaces in the Canberra CBD. Under the pump in all but the most literal sense, Dave went to his known contacts first. This is where I got lucky.
Ever the opportunist, within one conversation I had up-sold my fledgling pop group into a live-concept-album-themed-costume-party-band-night. For some reason Dave placed his trust in me, and The Last Prom became the opening night event for the Inaugural You Are Here Festival in 2011.
It took place in a big stone room that was a Dick Smith's and is now a MacDonalds. For the ten days of the festival Dave and his team of 14 or so festival co-ordinators/artists took this space over as our festival hub. I was one of them, acting as a runner or artist supervisor and producing another two or three small events (like the wrestlers and circus performers tuitional jam pictured below). One or two of my bands snuck onto the other live music bills, and a lot of my friends in the Canberra arts scene were involved in one way or the other.
It was, for me, an unprecedented experience. For someone who spent their whole time scrabbling around in the arts with a small immediate circle of collaborators, to suddenly be part of a larger machinery of super-skilled and super-positive artists with a little bit of money and marketing behind us was a quantum leap. Attendance for the festival blew expectations out of the water, and I was left emboldened to push my art farther than ever before.
Stay tuned next week as the saga propels us into 2012!
Monthly Archives: February 2013
Heartbroken Assassin is part of the multimedia blitz that is You Are Here. Without divulging too much, it's a webisode series – part musical, part blood splattered action flick – that takes place over the course of the festival, using its performers as actors, and its events as plot points and backdrops. Because we're fond of a challenge, we'll be releasing an episode a day – it's like a 24 hour film challenge… TIMES TEN.
Recognising how long filming, editing and uploading will take each day, we're doing what we can ahead of time. Yesterday, my recording studio/spare bedroom became a revolving door – actors and singers, trumpeters and drum programmers. Often they were the same people – Nick's co-songwriter for the project is also our fight coordinator (our friends have many talents). We spent six hours hammering down the musical bedding. The episodes are short, thus so are the songs, and we knocked over 80% of what we need. It's purposefully raw (a counterbalance to the music's melodrama) but I'll still spend a fair bit of time mixing and adding instrumental embellishments.
We also filmed a scene that doesn't take place at a festival event. That leaves two more we can film in advance and then it's All. Systems. Go.
It's the most ambitious thing Nick or I have shot, and aside from the The Last Prom promos, our first filmed narrative work. Yippie kay yay.
Lou and I have settled on the name for our production company.
It's a nod to artist/writer/personal hero Brendan McCarthy, whose 1980s series Strange Days brandished a faux-Comics Code Authority badge that read 'Approved By The Spider Of Warning'. McCarthy is a genius and it will be nice to be reminded of his passion and imagination in everything we do.
As a production company name it's more Bad Robot than Universal Studios, but I'm happy about that. Picking a name is harder than it appears – every interesting word or filmmaking term seems to have already had 'films' or 'studios' or 'pictures' slapped on its end. I thought of a dozen that Google uncovered were already in use. Originally I was keen on Handsome Films after my Cool Weapon alter ego, but that was snapped up recently.
I'm glad we didn't settle on that – SPIDER OF WARNING is a brilliant name, playful and strange. Now we have to live up to it.
You Are Here's writer-in-residence Andrew Galan interviewed El Lukio a couple of weeks ago – it's now up on their site.
The interview was uber-fun – I had prepared some answers to possible questions (Why do I cook? How do I feel about other cooking shows?) but as you'll read, Andrew had his own ideas. It was exhilarating keeping character at whatever he threw at me, all while wearing the mask in a very public place (like the Fyshwick Markets, no one cared – I'm starting to think there's something beautifully wrong with Canberra).
I quickly discovered that the best answers came from taking Andrew's questions completely seriously. Will post Part 2 when it shows up.
I've been kicking around a comic idea for a few months. Over the weekend, I took it off the backburner and spent a few hours brainstorming. Conceptually, it's in league with Desolation Jones – highly skilled but neurotic operatives going on bizarre and exciting missions. The story-world is taking shape, along with ideas for the first three arcs. I'm still developing the characters – right now, they have more characterisation than character.*
(The hardest part now is knowing when the thinking should stop and the writing start. You can overthink yourself out of writing anything. And there's a lot of stuff I won't figure out until I begin writing. So I guess I should quit thinking before it stops me writing).
My main questions at the moment are around character motivation. What motivates my protagonist? The more I think about it, the deeper down the rabbit hole I go.
I watched Elles on the weekend. Juliette Binoche plays a magazine journalist (think Vogue, not Time), who interviews two college students working as prostitutes. It does a shockingly effective job of glamourising the trade – the two girls, both gorgeous and intelligent, and of their own free will, make small fortunes sleeping with refined, attractive (albeit older) men. There's no mention of the dark side – drugs, slavery, any seediness is whitewashed – these girls don't have pimps, or ugly clients. It's even intimated that one is considering leaving her boyfriend for a john who is her age, looks like a male model, and has an apartment eye to eye with the Eiffel Tower restaurant. Probably not representative of most sex workers' experience then…
… but it made me think about character motivation. Binoche's journo asked dozens of questions, soliciting plenty of salacious details. Yet for all her questions, she never really asked why they did it. They paid lip-service to the idea Paris is an expensive place to live, but hundreds of thousands of poor people find other ways to support themselves. And that's what I find the most fascinating – where is that line for people, and how does it become fixed where it is?
It's a moral question, more than anything else. What won't we do? A question that gets at what it is to be human. Beyond the hard-wired basics of survival, what motivates us to do anything? To literally do anything at all, let alone anything noble?
The earliest superhero comics dealt with it quickly and firmly – some instigating incident, then a vow – or just an acknowledgement that all that's necessary for evil to triumph is good men to do nothing. Case closed, never to be mentioned again. Recent comics never stop questioning it – everyone from Superman down is analysing their motivations, having crises of faith and dark nights of the soul.
Increasingly, audiences expect motivations to be more substance than style – James Bond had a good forty years with motivation flimsy as a video game avatar before Casino Royale.
So what makes somebody want to do something dangerous with their life? And more interestingly – what is stopping the rest of us?
Millions of people work jobs they don't love – security is a strong motivator. And as we age, and have more to lose, our world – our mortgage, our children – makes that security more valuable to us.
For some people, this isn't enough**. There remains a hole in their life – how they choose to fill that hole is pretty much where any character worth writing begins.
I've got some more thinking to do, but just writing this out has helped me tremendously.
* Characterisation is fun, because it's easy ("should they wear emerald loafers, or midnight blue? Oooh, what about combat boots?!"). Character, what makes someone tick, is considerably harder but far more rewarding.
** For some, it is enough, but it gets taken from them.
Over the last couple of nights, I've had to re-create my Sunshine Sally edit, at a higher resolution. All up, it's taken about five hours (not including a couple of hours spent trying to figure out a workaround). A little frustrating, but there was a silver lining. When most of your musical pieces last between 30 seconds and a minute, a standard song can feel like a lifetime. I got to go back and tweak two of the longer scenes, cutting a minute's worth of footage. It makes a huge difference to the film's momentum, and will spare the band some needless repetition.
Rehearsals are going brilliantly – we've now covered over half the movie. The first half has a lot more turnarounds, so getting across the final half will be even quicker. From there, it's a matter of playing it over and over and developing some muscle memories.
One month to go!
I'm fairly active on social networks, but it took 'til today to hear about the Harlem Shake. If it wasn't for Baauer "cock-blocking" Azealia Banks, I'd still be in the dark. After getting up to speed this morning, I filmed my own this afternoon.
Seeing as I'm dancing alone, it's not strictly canon. Consider it a primer – I hope to film a group version at You Are Here. More details on that event shortly.

The Parable Treasury book by Liz Curtis Higgs compiles all of the great works that Ms. Higgs has written in the last years. Each covers a different season or holiday and allows the kids to really think about what they are celebrating. These have long been favorites of ours. My 11 year old saw it and right away said "Oh I love these books!".
This compilation has 4 stories included;
The Parable of the Lily
The Sunflower Parable
The Pumpkin Patch Parable
The Pine Tree Parable.
This hardback version is a treasure! Such a beautiful book to read to your children and grandchildren. What a heirloom to keep for the generations.
Liz Curtis Higgs writes" You can be sure I chose each word with care and picked each Bible verse with prayer, hoping these simple stories would speak to young hearts of all ages".
How beautiful that she spent that time praying and researching for just the thing God would have her to write!
There are many Bible quotes throughout the book! I love that the kids not only are getting the parable, they are getting the Word of God!

Blood Milk Jewels
Bookstore Cat. Mourning Beads.
Blood Milk Jewels
Bookstore Cat. Mourning Beads.
The Bookstore Cat is a special strand made in honor of the passing Amelia the Cat who resided here in Philly at the Spiral Bookcase shop. It is a tribute to all those who have lost a cat family member and to all of the cat lovers the world over.
Cats occupy a liminal space between worlds, at ease in dark, nighttime settings. In fairytales they have acted as psychopomps and have long been associated with the spirit world. Anyone who has lived with a cat knows they oscillate wildly between calmness and fierceness and are never really 'owned' by any human.
"Cats can mediate reunion with the instinctual native soil from which many of us have been uprooted. With their exact sense of spatial orientation, they can show us how to locate ourselves in the here and now, to learn to hunt within the psyche's darkness for the hidden parts of ourselves and carry them out, unapologetically, into waking day" – The Book of Symbols (Taschen)
The cat is represented in this special Mourning strand as three crescent moons composed of sterling silver life cast cat claws paired with different shapes and sizes of Onyx.
This strand measures 41.5 inches long from end to end, at its closure, is our medium sized, double sided eye talisman for extra psychic protection that can be worn at the back of the neck or on the front of the body.
This 'Opera Length' makes it perfect for wearing doubled up as well as at its full length. Designed to compliment other jewels in the Mourning/Ritual bead line it also layers beautifully with other BloodMilk necklaces. Its light weight also makes it perfect to use for meditation or ritual practices.
Onyx is best known for being a natural stone that act as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others. It is also used to sooth grief and heartbreak. They are wonderful grounding stones and stones of self mastery, enabling its wearers to have mental and spiritual focus.
This strand is handmade to order, just for you, with care and focus. Please allow approximately 4 weeks for creation before shipping.
Please visit the Policy Page to make an educated and informed purchase HERE.

The Lee Family. Once upon a time Noel and Rena got married and had 2 kids - Doris and Donald. Then one day, Doris got married to Jeremy and had her own 2 kids - Vince and Edda. We all live far apart, and keep moving around. It's hard to keep tabs on each other. Welcome to our blog.

Double camping weekend.
Not only was Vince gone camping this weekend, Jeremy was too! He went with his friend, Ben. Jeremy ate a lot better than Vince - listen to this: for dinner, Jeremy had rockfish coated with blue corn meal fried in bacon fat, cous cous and a green salad and for breakfast the next day, he had a salmon and asapargus omlet. Jeremy certainly ate better while camping than I did at home.
Vince has a funny way of packing for a camping trip.

Disability Visibility Project to Record Stories for the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
Preserving the Stories of People with Disabilities
Jul 25, 2014, 05:00 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Disability Visibility Project is a yearlong grassroots campaign to document the stories of people with disabilities in celebration of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 2015.
In partnership with StoryCorps, the national oral history organization, Disability Visibility Project encourages people to record and archive their unique and powerful stories at StoryCorps' recording studios in Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco and in StoryCorps' mobile recording booth that travels from city to city throughout the United States.
StoryCorps interviews are conducted between two people who know and care about each other. A trained facilitator guides the participants through the interview process. At the end of each 40-minute recording session, participants receive a copy of their interview. With their permission, a second copy is archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
Participants can to make reservations online with StoryCorps and mention the Disability Visibility Project in the "NOTES" section of the online form so their story will be tagged for this project. Check StoryCorps' website for more information on how to participate: https://storycorps.org/reservations/
"The Americans with Disabilities Act was a landmark civil rights law that prohibited discrimination based on disability and provided equal opportunity for millions to participate in society. As we celebrate the 24th anniversary of the ADA tomorrow, we are taking this opportunity to remember and reflect as a community on the tremendous changes we've experienced so far," says Alice Wong, Project Coordinator. "The struggle for disability and human rights continues and it is important for future generations to have this history to guide them."
About Disability Visibility Project
The project partners with individuals and organizations to reach diverse groups within the disability community. "We believe all people are historic figures with stories that are worth sharing and preserving," says Wong.

Our prayers are with those affected by a second series of large earthquakes that struck late this evening Central European Time, October 26, 2016, once again in central Italy.
The epicenter appears to be in the same general area of central Italy, not too far from Amatrice, one of the most heavily damaged villages in the August quake. Recent reports indicate that the quake's center was about 36 miles from Perugia and shocks were felt as far away as Rome.
Here is a link to the latest update, as of 5:05PM EST October 26 2016:

The value ffprobe emits is "Blchen".
The value it emitted before fixing #2502 was "Bl�mchen" (invalid character intentional) - which although containing an invalid character, at least retained all the valid characters. The current builds drop the "m" as well as the invalid character.
The value I would like to see, however, is "Blümchen".
If the issue is that the VQF module is doing something wrong to convert to Unicode, it would be good to get that fixed.
If the issue is that VQF is one of those legacy formats where the encoding isn't known, would it be possible to have some way to specify the system encoding? I can't just change the encoding of the entire system, because doing that in a cross-platform way is not really practical.
There is a sample exhibiting the issue in the mplayer samples:

So it hasn't lost the character, but it has still mangled it.
This depends on our UTF-8 decoding mechanism.
The '?' and the following character are interpreted as a single invalid UTF-8 sequence, and thus are consumed as a single "invalid" sequence. We could add a new flag for lazy decoding (starts from the second character if the whole sequence is invalid, which seems the system used by the terminal), or allow to set the text encoding.

Press Release from Coahoma Community College Public Relations; (662) 621-4061 - Brittany Davis-Green - email@example.com
CCC Spanish Instructor Andy Pullen has been selected as the 2016 Humanities Teacher of the Year. Pulled will be honored during a special reception Nov. 10.
CLARKSDALE – While it's not his native language, Andy Pullen has used Spanish as a vehicle to impact the lives of students at Coahoma Community College since 2011. And because of his dedication and unwavering commitment to education, CCC is proud to announce Pullen as its 2016 Humanities Teacher of the Year.
Each year the Mississippi Humanities Council recognizes October's designation as Arts and Humanities Month by bestowing Humanities Teacher Awards to outstanding faculty in traditional humanities fields at colleges and universities across the state.
Pullen, who serves as a Spanish Instructor, was selected as CCC's honoree this year on the recommendation of CCC Dean of Academic Affairs Rolanda Brown and President Dr. Valmadge Towner.
He will be honored during a special reception at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, in the Magnolia Room of the Zee A. Barron Student Union.
During the reception, Pullen will make a professional presentation entitled "Spanish: It's not just for travel", which will highlight unconventional reasons to learn the language.
Towner said the institution is fortunate to have someone of Pullen's caliber as an faculty member.
"Mr. Pullen is a soft-spoken but candid faculty member. …He is subtly articulate and masterful in his teaching craft," said Towner. "Over the years, he has demonstrated a high level of concern for his students and this college. Mr. Pullen has a level of dedication for serving through teaching that is second to none."
A native of Horn Lake, Miss., Pullen received an associate's degree in Communications with an emphasis in Broadcasting in 2001 from Northwest Mississippi Community College and a bachelor's degree in Communications/ Broadcast and Electronic Media in 2003, as well as bachelor's and master's degrees in Spanish in 2008 and 2010 respectively from the University of Mississippi.
In addition the reception, Pullen's designation as Humanities Teacher of the Year also carries a cash award and complimentary ticket to the Mississippi Humanities Council Awards Banquet. There, Pullen will join other selected recipients from colleges and universities across the state in a special awards ceremony.
"Coahoma Community College has provided stellar education services to students for nearly 70 years due to the academic excellence and quality instruction given by faculty such as Mr. Pullen," said Towner. "It is because of educators like Mr. Pullen that we are able to prepare and equip students to excel and exceed at the highest levels of learning. We are thrilled to celebrate and honor one of our own—congratulations, Mr. Pullen."

When a man engages in excellent penis care, one of his ultimate goals is to ensure soft, supple penis skin. But one of the biggest penis problems most men face is the prospect of very dry penis skin that doesn't seem to respond to even the most powerful penis health crème or moisturizers. The good news is that solving the dry skin issue is pretty easy - as long as a man knows where to look for the source of the problem.
Everyday habits and objects can be enough to lead to dry penis skin, and a man might wonder what in the world he did to cause it. Here are some of the biggest culprits for this serious penis problem and how to avoid them.
1) Using the wrong cleanser. Quite often, a man will purchase an all-for-one body cleanser that can be use everywhere. Using this body wash might make things very convenient, but it can wreak havoc on delicate skin. Opting for a dedicated penis skin cleanser can be one of the best moves a man can make in regard to good penis care.
2) Using harsh detergents. Even if a man uses a gentle cleanser that is great for his skin, he needs to take into account the things that touch his penis and surrounding area when he's not in the shower. These things include everyday objects, such as underwear and sheets. If those are washed in a harsh detergent with lots of chemicals, it can lead to dry penis skin when the fabric touches a guy's private regions. Therefore, looking for a gentle but effective detergent should be the goal.
3) Wearing the wrong underwear. Once a man has chosen the proper detergent, he needs to think about the underwear he washes in that detergent. First of all, if a guy isn't wearing underwear on a regular basis, he needs to start! His trousers can be very rough on penis skin. In addition, underwear that is too tight or doesn't 'breathe' isn't a good idea either. A man should look for underwear that fit appropriately, made of a fabric like pure cotton or wicking material.
4) Not using lubricant. When a man plays around with himself or a partner, he needs to ensure that there isn't too much friction. Too much can damage delicate penis skin, leading to irritations and redness, which can then lead to dryness. In addition to using lubricant at the right time, it's important to choose a lubricant that doesn't dry out the skin, but moisturizes it instead.
5) Choosing the wrong condom. Condoms are not all created equal! Some have lubrication included, some have spermicide, and still others are made of a variety of materials other than the usual latex. A guy should try out a variety of condoms until he finds the one that doesn't dry out his penis skin, then stick with using that one for future encounters.
6) Letting problems linger. There are some skin issues, such as yeast infections, that can lead to serious dryness. Instead of opting for the usual penis care regimen and hoping the problem will go away, a man should get to the doctor as soon as he can in order to alleviate the problem and ensure that no further damage occurs. By doing this, he can ensure not only the health of his penis skin, but help eliminate other penis problems before they have a chance to start.
Of course, one of the most important tips for men who suffer from dry penis skin is to use a powerful penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) every day. A man should specifically look for a crème with Shea butter and vitamin E, both of which are known as natural hydrators that can lock in moisture for supple, smooth skin.

Diabetes and Lifestyle Change
When it comes to staying healthy, doctors of people with diabetes will repeatedly tell them that health is a numbers game; there are certain numbers that all healthy people should remember. Newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetics must change parts of their diabetes lifestyle to control their blood sugar and get better. Here are some tips to help you keep an eye on your overall health – while sticking with the numbers.
[1] 5 Fruits and Veggies
Everyone should remember to eat a total of five fruits and veggies each day. You can mix and match your fruits as much as Vegetable Tray you like as long as you reach five by the end of the day. Having a hard time making sure you get your five in? Here are some ways you can sneak in an extra serving or two:
- Add a small handful or raisins or banana to your cereal in the morning.
- Drink a smoothie instead of a soda (for as many as four fruits and veggies).
- Slice a tomato on top of your turkey sandwich.
- Stir mushrooms and onions into your breakfast omelet.
- Reach for an apple rather than a granola bar for your afternoon diabetics snacks.
- Have a glass of 100% fruit juice before work or after a workout.
- Keep dried fruit and sugar free cookies in your desk or car to satisfy that mid-day sweet tooth.
[2] Hours of Sleep
Studies prove time and again that every needs about eight hours of sleep each night. However, most people do not allow themselves the luxury of the full recommended dosage of R & R. By going to bed at a reasonable hour (when you are tired) and sleeping a full eight hours, your body will feel rested, restored, and will ultimately function at a higher level than if it were deprived of sleep.
If you are having difficulty sleeping, take a look at your overall stress level, diet, exercise routine, use incontinence products, and sleeping habits. Small changes can lead to big results. Speak to your doctor if you have trouble sleeping for a prolonged amount of time.
[3] 30 Minutes of Exercise with diabetic shoes
Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the common side effects of diabetes, which can cause insensitivity, or a loss of sensation in the extremities to feel pain, heat, and cold in a diabetic person. It is very important for a diabetic person to take care of foot related injuries and wear specially designed shoes for diabetics, diabetic socks for men, and diabetic socks women.
Whether you are Diabetic or not, it is important to get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. These 30 minutes does Seniors Walking not have to occur at the same time? Often, busy people may only be able to sneak in 15 minutes walks with specially designed diabetics shoes here or there. However, it is important that you set aside enough time each day to get your heart rate up, your blood pumping, and your muscles moving.
Having a hard time sneaking in 30 minutes? Here are some quick tips that everyone can do:
- Take two 15 minute walks (15 minutes is roughly one mile).
- Clean the house vigorously (try to work up a sweat).
- Do floor exercises by wearing men's and women's diabetic dress shoes for 10 minutes three times a day (sit-ups, push-ups, calf raises, stair climbing).
- Walk during lunch or walk to lunch.
- Take a bike to visit a friend or run to the store rather than a car.
- Make exercise a family event by taking the kids to the park, a walking trail, gym, or track.
[4] 8 Glasses of Water
In order for your body to function properly, your organs need to be well-hydrated. Research shows that in order to maintain hydration, people should drink anywhere from three to eight glasses of water each day. Water can be flavored water, including some juices, as well. Also, may fruits and veggies contain large amounts of water that can help the body stay hydrated.

I noticed that some stores with multiple languages were behaving strange: If you click a given link, the store changed it's display language.
Examining this problem further, I found that the culprit was in the "Main" link, which had to open the store's main page, but it was switching the active language as well.
So, to duplicate the error, you have to create a link to any page, with some parameters. Then you create a new link to index.php WITHOUT ANY PARAMETERS.
The result is that the parameters from the first link are DUPLICATED in the second link.
You can reproduce the error by adding this code to any page:
echo tep_href_link('index.php', 'param1=xx&param2=xy').'< br />'; echo tep_href_link('index.php');
It will show something like:
http://domain.tld/index.php?param1=xx&param2=xy http://domain.tld/index.php?param1=xx&param2=xy
These parameters in the latter shouldn't be here, correct?
The solution is quite simple, and involves adding 2 lines to the file includes/modules/ultimate_seo_urls5/classes/usu.php, in the function public function href_link.
I will let you think about it a little. Contact me if you need help in fixing this 😉

As a keen cyclist and artist creating these mini cycling figures seemed a natural way to incorporate two hobbies into one.
Each bike and rider is made from Zinc and forged at a factory near Paris, France. I then model them with any additions from modelling clay and then hand paint them in enamel to your own bespoke design or in any favourite theme such as the new Rapha kit or perhaps one of the Tour de France riders, past or present.

A nuclear physicist at the CERN laboratory has gone on trial in France on charges of plotting terrorist attacks.Adlene Hicheur, who previously worked as a researcher at the European organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, was arrested in October 2009 in south-eastern France after police intercepted email messages he wrote to an alleged contact in Al Qaeda's North African franchise, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM).
The 35-year-old Algerian-born scientist had been under surveillance for a year and a half, according to the BBC.

Court documents say the pseudonymous emails discussed possible "military and political targets to punish governments" in Europe, including a French military barracks in the Alps, and suggested Hicheur was willing to be part of an active terrorist unit.
His lawyers claim he was simply expressing strong views online, and never actually said he would carry out a terrorist attack.
At the start of the trial Thursday, Hicheur said the emails were sent while he was on sick leave from his work at CERN and taking pain medication after suffering from a herniated disc, according to the Agence France Presse.
He claimed the messages were the result of his "physical and psychological state," and denounced the case against him:
"I see a lot of confusion and inaccuracies," he told the court. "It would be too tedious to revisit each of them (but) the assertions against me… are inaccurate, are subject to debate."
More from GlobalPost: Islamist gunman Mohamed Merah buried in cemetery outside Toulouse
Hicheur's trial opened on the same day as Islamist gunman Mohamed Merah, who killed seven people in a series of execution-style shootings in southern France,was buried in a cemetery outside the city of Toulouse.
Hicheurs's brother Halim lamented that in the wake of the Merah killings "some people wanted to raise the specter of the terrorism threat by the Algerian, Muslim nuclear physicist – all the key words you can name,"according to the Associated Press.
With security issues dominating France's presidential election campaign and the first round of voting set to take place next month, Hicheur's defenders fear he may be unfairly linked to Merah.
"The events of Toulouse and Motauban don't appear to create the most favourable conditions for the trial of Adene Hitcheur," his lawyer, Patrick Baudouin told journalists.
"We're really going to have to insist that there's no conflation."

Fr. Chito Suganob, vicar general of the prelature of Marawi, Philippines, was abducted for the last four months by Maute terrorists. It is a terrorist group that has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State.
Yet, he managed to escape with another hostage, after he was kidnapped on May 23, 2017, when terrorists attacked the Marawi Cathedral. In the first interview he gave after his abduction, Fr. Suganob assured that he is physically well. He has asked for continued prayers for the Marawi inhabitants, who still suffer from continuous attacks by Maute terrorists.
