Google Analytics 101 for Gambling Affiliates
If you aren't using Google Analytics, you're missing out on loads of data that could help you increase traffic to your site(s) as well as overall performance.
Installing Google Analytics is an easy process. That being said, this is only the beginning. Once installed, you can spend hours on end reviewing various reports to get a better grip on how your site is performing and what changes you can make to move your business to the next level.
Traffic Sources
As the name implies, this tool within Analytics shows you where your traffic is coming from. In the screenshot below, you will see four sources:
- Search Traffic
- Referral Traffic
- Direct Traffic
- Campaigns
In addition to this "percentage breakdown" overview, you can dive into the finer details of each category. For instance, for Search Traffic you can view both organic and paid visitors. In addition to the number of visitors for the specified period, you will receive information including: pages/visit, average time on site, % new visits, and bounce rate.
Average Time on Site and Bounce Rate
As you continue to use Analytics, it is easy to focus most of your time on common statistics such as the overall number of visitors and the keywords that are driving the most traffic. While there is nothing wrong with this, don't overlook the importance of "average time on site" and "bounce rate."
As an affiliate, you want visitors to stay on your site for an extended period of time. Visitors who stick around must have found something they like. In turn, there is a better chance that they will click through on one of your affiliate ads.
What about bounce rate? This is the percentage of single-page visits. In other words, people who only visit one page of your site before leaving.
Exit Pages
What is the last page people are seeing before they leave your site? This information can be found in the "Exit Pages" portion of the toolbar. With this, you can get a better idea of which pages are sending people away from your site. This could be good or bad, depending on the results. You may find that your top exit pages are those promoting your best affiliate offers. There is nothing wrong with people leaving your site – as long as they are doing so as often as possible through an affiliate link.
Search Engine Optimization
How is your site performing in the search engines? Although you can get a basic idea based on the number of organic visitors, there is nothing wrong with taking a closer look at the finer details. The deeper you dig the better chance you have of finding changes that could make a big difference.
In the "Queries" section of the toolbar you will find all of the following:
- Impressions – the number of times any URL from your site appeared in search results viewed by a user, not including AdWords
- Clicks – number of clicks on your website URLs from a Google Search page, not including AdWords
- Average position – average ranking of your website URLs for a particular query
- CTR – click through rate
It's important that you target the proper demographic. From location to language, attracting the right players is of utmost importance.
With Analytics, you can see where your traffic is coming from based on: Country/Territory, City, Continent, or Sub Continent Region.
Are you promoting offers to players of a particular language? Again, Analytics can help ensure that you are making progress in this area. If your site is focused on Spanish speaking players, for example, be sure this is reflected in your stats.
Final Tip
As noted above, installing Google Analytics is not enough. You need to know how to use the information provided. By comparing stats, before and after changes, you can focus on the areas of your site that need the most attention.
Analytics makes it easy to study every aspect of your traffic. How are you using this high powered tool? Share your tips in our Search Engine Optimization forum.

3/21/18 | 7:59PM: Larry Brooks notes that Brendan Smith's "miserable" season has ended after breaking his hand during a fight with Vinni Lettieri in practice last week. (NY Post)
He has three-years left on his contract after this season with a cap hit of $4.35 million.
Smith was sent to Hartford on 2/9 after clearing waivers.
While in Hartford, Smith had two assists in 11 games, a minus 11 rating, 8 PIM and 15 shots on goal.
Smith has a modified no-trade clause in each year of his contract and if the Rangers were to buy him out this summer they would have cap charges of (Hockey's Cap):
- 2018-19: $1.091 million
- 2019-20: $1.091 million
- 2020-21: $3.26 million
- 2021-22: $1.26 million
- 2022-23: $1.26 million
- 2023-24: $1.26 million
Following the trade deadline, Jeff Gorton said of Smith, "Brendan had a tough start and like a lot of our players struggled to get his game going. We felt it was best to send him down and try to find his game and get ready and start thinking about next year. We will put him in Hartford and leave him there. I hope we see him in top shape come September and he is ready to play like we saw last year. We will see with Brendan, we haven't ruled him out as being part of our future."
Adam Rotter: Smith has gone from being in the Rangers top-four to start the season to being so far down on the depth chart he may not be on the first page. The Rangers will likely try and move Smith both to get him off the books, as much as they can, and to give him a fresh start. It won't be easy and they may have to try and package him with some nice assets, such as a first round pick, or take on someone else's bad contract hoping for a fresh start.

If you are planning to volunteer in Africa, no doubt there are plenty of questions running through your mind. To help you address some of these queries and to decide whether or not volunteering in Africa is right for you, we have put together a check-list of questions you may want to ask yourself before booking your programme.
What do I want to get out of my time volunteering?
Out of all the questions you are going to ask yourself, this is possibly the most important. Whilst there are obvious rewards, choosing to volunteer in Africa can be stressful in both the planning and whilst away, which is why it is important to think about what you want out of your time as a volunteer. Is it to gain relevant experience to put on a CV for future university/job applications? Is it work on social skills? It is to take a break from working life? Or is it simply because you want to do something valuable during the summer holidays? All these are perfectly good answers which can individually help decide which volunteer programme will suit your time, skills and ultimate goal.
What skills do I have?
Realising what skills you do or do not have is also important to booking a volunteer programme. But don't just ask yourself, ask friends, work colleagues, teachers and professors what they think your skills are to help get an idea as to where your
strengths and weaknesses lay. This way you can chose a project that will not only benefit from your skills, but can also help improve the areas you are less confident in, e.g. communication.
Why do I have to pay to volunteer?
Although aware that the fee covers expenses such as accommodation, food and some travel, prospective volunteers are put off by the seemingly excessive costs of volunteer programmes. But by being a volunteer you are not only donating your time and skills, but also cash that goes straight into the project itself, helping to keep the charity or organisation running after you are gone by paying for supplies and training as well as jobs for local communities.
How much money/time do I have?
Knowing your budget and how long you want to volunteer is important when it comes to booking a volunteer programme. Bespoke African volunteering programmes from the likes of Amanzi Travel help customise your ideal project to match not only your skills, but also your money and time, with placements running from between 2 weeks and 3 months or even longer.
Do you have another question? Let us know in the comments below!

« ПредишнаНапред »
Let the moder n school of Csesarean amateurs of insulted Prydain, Llydaw, or Armorica, learn wisdom from their proofs, and then confess (No, no: we want it not) that Cimmerian civilization flourished at an epoch when a golden mintage was a myth at Rome.
But who can sketch
The astronomical figure (No. 10 in the plate) now demands a few words of comment in addition to those already given in page 47, tec, to which I beg to refer the inquirer after hidden symbolical truths.
Assuming that the philological doctrines therein contained have been thoroughly understood, I now proceed to incorporate the views of Eastern antiquity as represented by a distinguished annotator on Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, in reference to the study of certain zodiacal spheres inculcated by Cimmerian and Egyptian Saronides and natural philosophers. For the truth or falsehood of the Tetrabiblos I contend not.
The description herein annexed appears to co-incide with Saronidesian views respecting the revolutions of the inferior planets, Mercher and Gwen, within the earth's orbit, and to prove that these bodies circulate in narrower orbits than our own globe. This truth has been "recognized as incontrovertible from the most remote antiquity." Other latent truths may be detected here and there: The six or seven circles, as seen in the engraving, seemed to indicate the revolutions of the Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun.
Space, however, will not allow me to enter upon a re-discussion of druidical troiau and saronau, as embodying another code of facts, but I will hasten onwards to illustrate the Cimmerian Cut, as stamped on Hellenic coins and Cimbric rocks, by reference to authorities other than those of Greece and Rome, and thereby to prove a prehistoric, an uncollusive, co-incidence of teaching, or a scientific analogy, between the astronomers of the Hyperborean West and those of the On-ic Nile, in reference to the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, and other cognate ideas elicited therefrom.
The following annotation from an old geographical work, by Apianus, framed on the laws of Ptolemy, will, I apprehend, tend to explain from another point of view, but in a somewhat mystic form, the solar system of African antiquity, as developed by the partial uniformity of astronomical and astrological principles in the distant observatories of the far-East:—
"The world," says the author, " is divided into two parts—the elemental region and the ethereal. The elemental region is constantly subject to alteration, and comprises the four elements— earth, water, air, and fire.
"The ethereal region, which philosophers call the fifth essence, encompasses, by its concavity, the elemental; its substance remains always unvaried, and consists of ten spheres, of which the greater one always spherically environs the next smaller, and so on in consecutive order. First, therefore, around the sphere of fire, God, the Creator of the world, placed the sphere of the Moon, then that of Mercury, then that of Venus, then that of the Sun, and afterwards those of Mars, of Jupiter, and of Saturn. Each of these spheres, however, contains but one star, and these stars, in passing through the zodiac, always struggle against the primum mobile, or the motion of the tenth sphere; they are, also, entirely luminous. In the next place follows the firmament, which is the eighth or starry sphere, and which trembles or vibrates (trepidat) in two small circles at the beginning of Aries and Libra (as placed in the ninth sphere): this motion is called by astronomers, 'the motion of the access and recess of the fixed stars,' (probably, in order to account for the procession of the equinoxes). This is surrounded by the ninth sphere, called chrystalline or watery heaven, because no star is discovered in it. Lastly, the primum mobile, styled also the tenth sphere, encompasses all the before-mentioned ethereal spheres, and is continually turned upon the poles of the world, by one revolution in twenty-four hours, from the east through the Meridian to west, again coming round with it by its own force; and there is no star in it. Against the primum mobile the motion of the other spheres, running from the west through the Meridian to the east, contends. Whatever is beyond this is fixed and immovable, and the possessors of our orthodox faith affirm it to be the empyrean heaven which God inhabits with the elect."
"Her commerce spread to many a distant land
The Commerce of Ynys Prydain, or Albion (as the island is described by Aristotle, in his 'De Mundo'), must now attract our attention.
"Ev rw toKeavu) yn fiev vnaoi fieyicrrai re rvyxavovai, ovaai Zvo, BperaviKat \eyofievai AX/3iov Kai lepvn ": In oceano insulse duse sitse sunt, quam maxime, quas BRITANNICAS appellant, Albion et Jerva.
These Hyperborean islands of the west commanded notice at so early a period in the prehistoric annals of the world, that no precise era can be assigned, either to the original settlers or even to the later arrival of the Phoenician navigators of Tyre and Sidon, who are reputed, as the first representatives of the East, to have traded on its coasts for tin, lead, copper, (coal ?j hides, oysters, fish, and so forth.
The following remarks may, perhaps, in some measure, tend, if not to solve the problem, at least to throw some additional light on the mysteries of the past, and evoke our national existence.
Under the different nomenclatures originally given to the 'Insulse Britannica' or islands peculiarly dedicated to the name and colonizing attributes of Prydain and his race, may be classed, inter alias, the Mosaic 'Isles of the West,' a title first embodied and confirmed in Holy Writ about 2348 B. C, as—
"By these [i. e., the descendants of Japhet, our progenitor] were the 'Isles of the West' divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families in the nations."
His offspring is further mentioned by king David, in 1015 B. c, as producers and distributors of 'presents.' What were these presents?
These unique tokens of a country's weal will manifest themselves, I trust, in almost every quarter-of the world, as the germ of early Gomeric enterprise and skill.
"The kings of Tarshish [i. Tartessus] and [the kings] of the Isles shall bring presents."
Here I perceive the first glimpse of native insular or Cimmerian industry, the first allusion to the unbenaeth or sovereignty of the isles as kings of the ISLES, as contradistinguished from those of Tarshish, their neighbors.
Tarshish was also Tartessus, Gadir, and Gades, consecutively.
"Gadir prima fretum solida super eminet Arce
Tartess-us may be derived from twr, a tower, a citadel, and txi-ys, a top, a summit. Gadir, Punice, may be derived from gha-dira, 'standing water,' ' marshy ground,' 'a watery tract of land;' or, Cimmerice, from gad, the leaving, the quitting, the refuse, and dwr, water,—that is, 'the drained district of stagnant water;' and corresponds therein to Gades or Gadwys, from gad, and wys, water.
Isaiah, B. C. 712, alluding to the overthrow of Tyre, thus writes, " The burden of Tyre, howl ye ships of Tarshish, be still ye inhabitants of the isle, thou whom the merchants of Zidon that pass over the sea have replenished."
Again, the prophet Jeremiah, in the year 606 B. C. (about the era of Abaris, the Celtic druid), is somewhat more explicit with reference to the geographical position of these isles, from information, possibly, imparted either by Cimmerian navigators or mercenaries in the service of rival nations, or by Phoenician traders—(the former having on several occasions repeated the attempt of re-occupying their former Asiatic and Crimean possessions). Whatever might have been the mundane source of information, the prophet states, on inspiration from on high,—
"And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the ' kings of the Isles which are beyond the sea.'"
What sea? The Mediterranean, no doubt, is meant; but the isles must have been in some other sea or ocean beyond. Consequently, their position must have been geographically placed in the Atlantic ocean; for, elsewhere, the Mediterranean is styled 'the sea which is at thy gates,' as Tyre was situated at the extreme east or Tyrian entry of the sea.
The prophet Ezekiel, writing in 588 B. C., still enlarges the sphere of our knowledge by a categorical description of certain articles imported from "the many isles." Let us ascertain whether Britannia or Albion, Ierne or Thule, may have been referred to and embodied with their insular dependencies.
To a group of islands on the south-western extremity of Albion or ' Isle of the West' was given the name of CassiteNides, from some indigenous exclusively inherent produce of the isles in question—namely, KaamrePos, or tin. The imputed tin of Banca and the peninsula of Malacca has only been known in comparatively modern times. No proof whatever of its existence can be classically traced, except in the cloistered romances of modern theorists.
This unique and otherwise rare and unknown article of foreign and domestic traffic was prehistorically dug, worked and smelted into blocks, and primarily exported to the extremities of the then known world, for barter and exchange among the industrial nations of east and west, by the original Cimmerian discoverers of the mines. "The prophet," according to the author of ' The Evidence of Profane History,' " represents the commerce of the antique world as carried on by barter, and speaks of an exchange of merchandize, the different nations bringing the productions of their own and other countries to the Tyrians, who generally imported raw materials and exported their wares, the produce of their industry and skill." Does the importation and exportation of cotton, coal, pig-iron, and other raw materials, now-a-days, preclude or exclude the native transformation of such articles into objects of utility or gaseous light, in the countries in which they may be pre-eminently grown, worked, or exhumed?
"The first who are spoken of by the prophet as bringing ' the multitude of all kinds of riches ' to the fairs of Tyre are the merchants of Tarshish. The expression ' Ships of Tarshish ' appears to be sometimes used in the Holy Scriptures to denote trading vessels in general; and how far this may be the case in the present instance we cannot take upon us to determine; but it is generally supposed that the Tarshish here mentioned means Spain, on account of the metals—silver, iron, tin, and lead, with which the merchants [of the West] traded, and because the Phoenicians are known to have made early settlements in that country, and to have worked [?] the mines of precious metals with which Spain formerly abounded."
"Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, Tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs."
And again, " Tyrus, thou that art situated at the entry of the sea [Here the Mediterranean is distinctly pointed out and contrasted with the Atlantic, or sea beyond] which art a merchant of the 'people for many Isles'"
Let us now revert to other sources of information, namely, the earlier cyclic or Homeric period, corresponding partly with the age of kings-David and Solomon, and what do we find? A certain article of commerce that was never found on the earth's surface, or, more correctly speaking, dug or extracted from any soil,

As Friday afternoon hit and I still didn't have an idea for a post, I suddenly remember the bright red box shelved in our Special Collections Media section. Saved by "Betty Crocker" for neither the first nor last time! (I know it's really a team of people, but admit it, we all have an image of her.) A couple of years back, I found the cheery box that is the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (our edition is from 1971). As we headed into the Memorial Day weekend and grilling season, I pulled out the section called "Outdoor Entertaining." (We're only taking on one section for today–the cheery red box of Betty Crocker recipes holds lots of surprises for future posts!)
Skewered or spitted foods not pictured include steak kabobs, lamb or veal skewers, and ham on a spit, in case you were curious. There are a number of seafood recipes (nothing stabbed or punctured—though there is a fish in a wire grilling frame) in this section, what appears to be a nice recipe for grilled apples, and lots more meat.
So, as we kick off grilling season and unofficial summer, take some inspiration. This weekend, break out the coals/gas/wood and skewer away (carefully, of course). It's amazing what you can do with a little grill power.

BENEFITING: No Barriers
EVENT DATE: Jun 03, 2012
On May 31st I'm heading to Colorado to take part in an event that will fuel my mind with positive energy and thought provoking revelation as well as nourish & challenge my body through strenuous physical activity that will test my emotional fortitude. This inspirational event most importantly is designed to help financially support a friend's charity called No Barriers and Soldiers to the Summit.
My Goal is to raise $1,000.00 to take part in this event. I would appreciate your help in supporting these worthwhile charities. Please Donate whatever you can to assist me to reach the top!!!
Thank you for your support!!!
Here is more information about the Organizations that will benefit from this Event:
No Barriers USA is a nonprofit organization that empowers modern day explorers to better understand the infinite potential that lies within themselves. We provide innovative and transformative experiences that help people to climb higher, dig deeper, and go further in their life journeys. In the process, we build a community that embraces a "No Barriers" mindset, where obstacles become opportunities through a greater understanding of ourselves and the infinite power of the human spirit.
Soldiers to Summits (S2S) empowers veterans to overcome barriers and reclaim lives. S2S programs permanently impact lives by helping disabled members of all military branches tackle personal challenges. In S2S, mountains serve as both metaphor and training ground for stretching goals, building world-class teams, innovating through adversity and stepping up to lead and serve others. Our program integrates with the rehab process and helps soldiers restructure how they approach their past and future. Through the S2S experience, we provide veterans with camaraderie and support systems they can depend on.
The first S2S expedition took place in 2010, when Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to climb each continent's highest mountain, and his Everest team led a group of disabled soldiers to the summit of Lobuche, a 20,100- foot peak in the Himalayas. Team members' disabilities ranged from amputations and blindness to traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress. The S2S Lobuche expedition was a tremendous success, with seven out of 10 soldiers reaching the summit. A year later, the entire team continues to work together to inspire others-soldiers and civilians alike.
Here is more information about the Event from the Organizer:
At No Barriers, even our fundraising events encourage you to get outside and have a transformative life experience! Join us for our 2nd annual What's YOUR Everest Challenge on June 2-3 in Leadville, Colorado for a climb of Mt. Elbert, the tallest peak in Colorado. This inspirational event encourages you to discover the fact that what's within you is stronger than what's in your way.
I will be joined by Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind man to reach the Seven Summits, wounded soldiers from our 2012 Soldiers to Summits program, other members of the No Barriers community as well as members of Weihenmayer's historic Everest summit team. A kick-off dinner and reception on the evening of June 2nd in Leadville will immerse you in the No Barriers mindset, leaving you believing in the power of the human spirit to transcend all barriers.
The climb and dinner is open to anyone who donates $500 or more to No Barriers by May 30, 2012. If you've already donated that amount to No Barriers in 2012, you're welcome to join us too! If $500 is out of your donation range, but you'd still like to participate, we encourage you to get pledges from your friends, family and colleagues to reach the $500 goal. We've even set up a Crowdrise page for you to get going: www.crowdrise.com/whatsyoureverest.
The Team: $505 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

Local4's Devin Scillian wins N.H. Ladybug Picture Book Award
The New Hampshire Ladybug Picture Book Award, voted for by children of that state, announced writer Devin Scillian of Local 4 and illustrator Tim Bowers' book "Memoirs of a Goldfish" as winners of the 2011 award.
Scillian and Bowers book received 4,892 of the total 19,826 votes from children in New Hampshire elementary and pre-schools as well as libraries.
The Center for the Book at the New Hampshire State Library sponsors the yearly Ladybug Award in its efforts to strengthen childhood literacy and pay homage to earlry-childhood authors having that effect.
Each year, New Hampshire librarians nominate 10 picture books for the award based upon strong child appeal and artistic excellence.
Teachers and librarians then read the books during storytimes and encouraged young students to read the books themselves.
Later in the year, those children were asked to vote for their favorite book for the Ladybug Picture Book Award, which Scillian and Bower's "Memoirs of a Goldfish" won.
More information on the nomination process and criteria for selecting books for the award is available at http://nhbookcenter.org

Think back to when you first started your business and think back to what your idea of the "end of the rainbow" looked like.
What I mean by this is what was your idea of having "made it" when your business had reached a point where it allowed you to do the things in life that are most important to you.
Well, on today's episode of BookPals Business Sanity we welcome back a previous guest who has reached a point in his business journey where he is now able to work on a little "pet project" because his business has now reached a point where he can free up time to work on "fun" projects, because on today's episode we welcome back Dan Norris of blackhops.com.au.
You would remember from previous podcast episodes that Dan is running a successful business called WP Curve and the success of WP Curve has now allowed him to start a "not so little" side project with a couple of mates called The Black Hops Brewery!!!
Sit back and dream about what your "end of the rainbow" is going to look like while you listen to this episode of BookPals Business Sanity.

One cold winter day in Poland, a dog walked to the river's edge and found himself suddenly floating away on a sheet of ice. Trapped on his raft of ice, the dog drifted down the river for four days, traveling more than 75 miles from where he started. Finally, a research ship on the Baltic Sea spotted him and its crew rescued the dog, soon to be known as Baltic.

Series: Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy
Author: Nora Roberts
Read copy: Paperback
Published: November 6, 2012
Publisher: Berkley
Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out—with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He's surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except apparently Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro...
As the former manager of a D.C. hotel, Hope is used to excitement and glamour, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate the joys of small-town living. She's where she wants to be—except for in her love life. Her only interaction with the opposite sex has been sparring with the infuriating Ryder, who always seems to get under her skin. Still, no one can deny the electricity that crackles between them…a spark that ignited with a New Year's Eve kiss.
While the Inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope's experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome—and embarrassing—appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder's emotions and makes him realize that while Hope may not be perfect, she just might be perfect for him...
My rating:
Ryder Montgomery has been a pill toward Hope Beaumont from the moment they've met. He never calls her by her name, he's dismissive and snarly, he's sarcastic and downright rude sometimes...And he'd be so much easier to dislike if he wasn't so hot...And sweet and kind, when he wants to be—to others, not to her. And if she didn't feel all hot and bothered in his presence even, okay, especially, when they're sparring...
So what is a girl to do when she's trapped in a locked-by-the-resident-ghost room, but kiss the infuriating, sexy Ryder Montgomery. Because a kiss is the only way the ghost would let them out of the room. Yes, that's the only reason she kissed him...Then why does she want to do it again?
There are books that leave you with a satisfied smile when you finish them, and there are books that you read from beginning to end with a smile on your face. This one falls into the latter category. I couldn't stop smiling (even through a film of tears toward the end, but never mind), and I couldn't prevent myself from ooh-ing, ah-ing, and aww-ing. It was a feel-good story through and through, and a perfect ending to a great trilogy.
I loved Ryder Montgomery from the first scene he's appeared in in The Next Always. He was abrupt, he was prickly, he was sincere to the point of rudeness, yet there was a soft, kind, sometimes tender core underneath the stony exterior, and a big heart. When you meet someone like that, someone you know, despite everything that goes on on the outside, would do almost anything for friends and family (even those not related by blood), you can't help but love them. And hope the best for them.
Then Hope Beaumont made her entrance, went all jittery and "stroke-y" when she saw Ryder, and I knew we were in for a ride. He turned into an obnoxious asshole when she was around, and I couldn't help but grin. Because you know how it is in kindergarten and school, where boys pull girls' pigtails and tease them to get them to notice them. That was Ryder when it came to Hope. Although I don't think the sparring and rudeness was meant to get her to notice him, it was more like a self-preservation technique, to keep her at arm's length. A technique that failed miserably. The first big crack happening in The Last Boyfriend at Owen's New Year's party. I knew their book would be awesome from the start, and that single scene confirmed it.
I adored them together, him more than her, because of the prickliness, and adversity he's been showing since the beginning. It's those people that fall the hardest. I loved how they complimented each other, how opposite they were, yet somehow similar. She kept lists on paper, he kept them in his head, she was organized, he preferred (organized) chaos, she looked uptight, while he was more relaxed, yet they both chose to keep whatever was between them simple and uncomplicated (good luck with that one). She kept surprising him, showing him she wasn't truly what he initially believed her to be, keeping him constantly on his toes, intriguing him, keeping him guessing. The poor guy had no chance whatsoever. Neither did.
I loved it.
And, don't get me started on the whole ghost thing. I knew everything would be resolved in this last book, because, it was the last book, but still. I never anticipated a resolution like this. The connection, not only to Hope, but to the Montgomerys as well. And the way everything was resolved, how both girls got their happy ending. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense, and the resolution could not have been done differently. Something needed to fit just right, click perfectly into place for it to be a happy ending. And it figures it needed to be done on the male part of the pairing. The girl's been waiting a long time, it was time for the boy to get to her. And it made sense it would've been the last brother, the "hardest" of the bunch, to make it right. It fits.
Everything else, Clare's pregnancy, Avery's tavern...It all faded into the background, providing the scenery, the backdrop to the main story, as it should be. The main pairing and their story should be in the driving seat, propelling the story forward, not the other way around, as it happened, IMO, in the second book in the trilogy. No worries with this story, though. Hope and Ryder were there, front and center.
I won't go about the writing, the flow, the voice, because it's a Nora Roberts book, and, in my eyes, she can do no wrong in that department.
But I will finish with how I started. This book made me happy. It made me feel joy. It made me sigh contentedly when it ended. It made me want to start all over again immediately. And it made me smile. It doesn't get better than that.

After graduating from Osaka Kunei Joshi Gakuin H.S. in the spring last year Takamatsu moved to Oregon, U.S.A. to take part in the "Nike Oregon Project" elite long distance group created by Nike. With a dream of winning gold in the 5000 m or 10000 m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and high hopes in her heart, she crossed the ocean.
But in the U.S. she was hit by the cold hand of reality. "I was DFL every time," she said, using the Osaka slang word betta for "last place." In October last year she lined up in an indoor track race in the States. "I told myself, 'If you're DFL this time then it's time to take some time off,'" she said. With that thought in the back of her mind she ran the 800 m race, but the outcome was the same. Her heart no longer in her training, in February this year she finally gave up and left the U.S. to return home to Osaka.
Takamatsu is now under the guidance of her Kenyan father Maxwell Musembi, a former marathoner. In the mornings she works out with her younger sister Tomomi Musembi. Her family and hometown are helping to heal her broken heart. "It didn't go well over there," she said. "I'm not the type of person who gets depressed, but sometimes I cried and cried. There were times that I thought about quitting athletics, like I just didn't want to run anymore, but I think that just keeping small goals in sight reaped benefits."
Now that she is once again set upon the road toward her dream of the Tokyo Olympics, Takamatsu doesn't feel that her relocation to the United States that ended in less than a year was a total waste. She describes her position at the "Oregon Project" as "more like a trainee" than as a full member. Even so, she got nothing but support from her NOP teammates. She remains thankful to Suguru Osako, saying, "It's a car-based society there, and he helped me out when I needed to get around."
What she got from experiencing a high-level training environment remains a valuable asset for Takamatsu. "I learned a lot," she said. Once a star runner of the Osaka big city streets, after experiencing the first setback of her career Takamatsu is ready to spread her wings again.
Translator's note: Takamatsu finished 5th in the 800 m final in 2:11.33.

Casualties of Time and Effort
Not me, though. I'm no quitter - just ask the folks down at AA! There are, however, a few recent causalities in the blogosphere that I shall miss reading. They are:
Beat and Release Who states that his new business venture has him working 14 hour days, so he's too busy to write.
Glass City Jungle Whose owner, Lisa Renee, got a real job with real pay and a real boss. Sadly, this job included a real conflict of interest.
Hooda Thunkit's (Dave Zawodny's) Blog Who has gone on an extended hiatus for personal reasons, and before anyone asks the answer is, "No, he's not in the slammer."
Knock and Announce Who just stopped writing.
North Who is taking a break. Likely an extended break.
The S.N.A.F.U. Report Who might have suffered an accident involving a pickup truck, a shotgun, a fifth of whiskey and an Oriental Massage Parlor. Or not...
My thanks to all of you for your enjoyable literary contributions to all those wise enough to read your blog.

Canning Jars
I scored a three quarter pint jar for 25 cents today at a yard sale, no kidding! I didn't even know they existed but in reality I could really go with a couple dozen of these babies in the photo above the three quarter pint is the second from the left.
Left to right: Pint jar, three quarter pint, half pint, quarter pint! To make the set really interesting I'd need a quilted glass wide mouth pint jar.

Black Raspberry Jam - Done
Atlas Jars
Presto Pressure Cooker
Rutabaga Dinner - In Progress
Rhutabaga Dinner - this is out of my husband's old old (1940's) presto cookbook and I'm going on memory here.
Two pork steaks, six potatoes, and two large rutabaga's
Layer chopped (one inch pieces) peeled baking potatoes on the bottomof the cooker
Add layer of peeled chopped (one inch pieces) rutabaga's on top ofpotatoes Salt and Pepper at this point.
Add pork steaks (cut into thirds) Salt and pepper meat
Add an inch of water
Cover and bring to pressure then pressure cook for 20 - 25 minutes.
Remove heat source and let cool down naturally. Serve with worthchestershire sauce (mispelled I know)
I think the pressure cooker is set permamently to 10 pounds.
Note you know your doing it right because it smells like wet dog about half way through the cooking process.
Black Raspberry Jam - In Progress
In progress my jam making efforts were interrupted last night due to excessive chicken broth canning - some things always take longer than you think they will. So the berries sit in the fridge covered in sugar.
I found it rather interesting the ball blue book has several recipes for Strawberry Jam - the recommended recipe for Black Raspberry Jam is the Strawberry Jam but which one??? I went with the one on page 81 of my book which means not cooking the berries prior to processing them, the flavor is really strong.

Since 1994, A-Pro has been helping its clients make smarter, better and more informed decisions as they buy or sell a home. As one of the leading home inspection service companies in the world, A-Pro not only offers you the best possible home inspection, service, and value, but also provides you with the peace of mind that your investment is guaranteed.
As you make the decision to invite an inspector either into your own home, or a home you intend to buy, there are 5 key questions you should be asking. To make certain your home inspector is qualified and is a certified home inspection company, you need to "Inspect the Inspector." The following information has been prepared to assist you in evaluating and selecting the best certified home inspection company: Here they are…
CHI® and PHI® certifications are important, but they're actually NOT required. These certifications will assure you that your inspector has undergone more than 300+ hours of education and advanced training, ensuring that your inspection is thorough and reliable! So… make sure your inspector has both!
You want to make sure your inspector is ISHI® certified, as ISHI standards exceed ASHI® and other standards in 15 vitally important ways! What are some things that are inspected under ISHI that are NOT with ASHI®? Here are a few: foundation, furnace heat exchanger, all doors & windows, installed & portable appliances, all lighting & outlets, and more.
This may be hard to believe, but for MOST inspectors, if a potential problem is found during inspection, they will tell you to call an electrician, roofer, HVAC, or plumber to find out for sure. With A-Pro you will NEVER need to call upon another company, saving you time, money, and hassle.
With most inspectors if something is missed during the inspection, you'll have to pay to repair or replace it or perhaps sue the inspector to get them to pay. Their evaluation is little more than an opinion. When you choose A-Pro "if we pass it, we protect it®" at our own expense, for up to 120 days. How do I know you protect it? Protection of covered systems and components on claims will not be turned down as a result of any pre-existing condition not documented in the inspection report.
Most don't, since it takes more expertise, reporting capabilities, as well as time. We feel that all inspectors should be required and trained to highlight positive attributes of a home so that the buyer will get a real picture of the home– not just a snap shot of problems. Our reports are fair and balanced and highlight all of the positive systems in your home as well. No wonder we're recommended by buyers, sellers and real estate agents!
If you have any questions at all for A-Pro, including these questions, please don't hesitate to call your certified inspector.
• Can I see a sample inspection report?
• Will the report provide model numbers on the major systems in the home?
Call 1.800.793.APRO (2776) or click here to find an A-Pro "CHI" certified home Inspector.

'Come and Try' music sessions in Ballyshannon and Donegal Town
Well-known musicians from the Donegal Music Education Partnership will be visiting Donegal Town and Ballyshannon next Tuesday (11th) for 'Come and Try' music sessions.
The sessions will be held in the Adult Education centre in Donegal, from 5pm to around 6.30pm, and Coláiste Cholmcille in Ballyshannon, from 7.15pm.
Anyone who might be interested in taking up an instrument can come along and try a selection, including violin, flute, guitar, cello, clarinet, saxophone and lots more.
Musicians on hand will include fiddler Martin McGinley, who works with the DMEP; the cellist Victor Yélamo; and Don Swain, who teaches flute, sax and oboe (pictured – Martin, left, and Victor).
Martin says the sessions are very informal.
"We did a come-and-try in Donegal Town a couple of years ago and got an excellent turn-out of young people and adults. Everyone had a great time trying out the different instruments. We'll also be hearing some pieces and tunes. The tutors will be in action and we hope to have some talented young musicians along as well to show how it's done."
Martin says the DMEP hopes the come-and-try sessions will help them expand the classes they already offer in Donegal Town and Ballyshannon.
"So far in Donegal Town we have tutors for piano, brass, violin, flute and cello. Victor Yélamo has also been working with our local Junior Strings ensemble. They had a great time on a tour of local schools in June.
"Don Swain is teaching in Ballyshannon, which has a great tradition of music-making. We'd love to have more classes in the town if we can get the numbers."
Martin paid tribute to the staff of the Adult Education Centre in Donegal and Coláiste Cholmcille in Ballyshannon for their help with the sessions.
"In both places staff are very enthusiastic about having more music tuition and more music-making locally. They couldn't have been more helpful. Now we're looking forward to having some budding musicians along and having a bit of fun next Tuesday night."
The DMEP is part of Donegal Education and Training Board, which is headed up by Ballyshannon native Anne McHugh. It offers one-to-one tuition and small group classes to more than 400 children and young people, and some adults. It also has ten performing groups, including the Donegal Youth Orchestra, the Donegal Youth Choir and the Donegal Chamber Orchestra.
Anyone who'd like more information about the DMEP or the 'come and try' sessions next Tuesday is invited to email firstname.lastname@example.com or ring the DMEP office on 07491 76293.

Feel like I need to re-think my approach and catch up on the classics.Think I'll start with Scott Mcloud's "Understanding Comics".I've never understood how people have the patience to read entire books, or comics for that matter. With me I read thet first chapter then I'm like "OK, I've understood everything" then I move on to something else.So I'm gonna try not to do that...
Any essential books/comics that an aspiring comic artist should read?
You know, it might have to do with what you're reading, as in.. maybe you haven't found the right book, or comic to latch yourself onto. Aside from that, reading the first chapter alone.. I don't think that's enough to actually understand the whole story, you know? Stories tend to develop and plot threads unravel as you read on, so reading it and leaving it at the base level of the introduction doesn't leave room for you to become attached to the story, in my opinion.
What I'm going to recommend is not necessarily a classic, but it's pretty well-known. It's my first comic (graphic novel, if you're a stickler for terms lol) I read bc comics about superheroes never appealed to me much. Scott Pilgrim is the one thing I read that kept me interested the whole way through, man.. though, I may have been completely biased to see how it went bc I was a huge fan of the film adaptation, but yeah. I'd whole-heartedly recommend that as a first read.
definitely seconding understanding comics!! theres a free pdf online if you look - and trust me, you will not get bored. its a really great read, brilliant flow. when i first read it it blew my mind, and i come back to it at least once a year for inspiration.
similar comic theory books that i recommend:- will eisner: graphic storytelling and visual narrative- will eisner: comics and sequential art (these are both prose books)- matt madden: 99 ways to tell a story (experiments in form)- chrissy williams: over the line (prose book with comics included, an introduction to poetry comics)- also, scott mcclouds other two books in the -comics series: reinventing comics and understanding comics! reinventing is a bit out of date, but has a lot of great comics history and business talk, and making comics is a brilliant introduction to... well... making comics
also, some comics thatll inspire you:- art spiegelman: maus. two-part graphic novel about the holocaust (beware, its heavy stuff), historic in winning literature awards, giving comics weight as a literary art form- alison bechdel: fun home. memoir about a lesbian's strained relationship with her closeted dad - also heavy, and pretty sad- richard mcguire: here. this is one of my favourites - from a formal perspective it will blow your mind. it takes a single space and follows it - non-linearly and in really cool ways - across all of time- nick drnaso's sabrina has been making waves recently as well - it was longlisted for the booker prize (a first for comics). its next on my reading list- emily carroll: through the woods. gorgeous gothic horror short stories- emil ferris: my favourite thing is monsters. this HULKING GREAT TOME is written as the comic journal of an 11 year old girl in late-60s chicago as she obsesses over monsters and processes all the injustice she sees around her. it is really heavy and dense, requiring multiple reads, but its also super rewarding
i hope you enjoy some of these, and i wish you luck in your explorations
thanks! I'll give these a read
I completely forgot about Maus! I think I read that graphic novel way before Scott Pilgrim while I was in... 5th grade? I was 10 and while I didn't read it all the way through (idk why!), I remember it leaving a huge impact on me and changing my perspective on reading books in general. I'd really like to revisit this whenever I can. So uhhhh, thanks for reminding me about it!
you read maus in 5th grade?? wow
i remember seeing it in libraries when i was a kid, but i was in my book snob phase so i didnt pay it much attention - though im kinda glad now, bc i dont think i had the maturity or appreciation for comics and narrative to really appreciate it? its defo worth revisiting as an adult
Yeah, I believe I borrowed it briefly from the school library? I didn't know a thing about the holocaust yet, but.. uh... it had pictures. That's the literally the only reason I picked it up xD I just read it and thought it was interesting based on the imagery, but a whole lot of it just went over my head tbh
Mob Psycho 100. The author ONE has amazing composition despite his lacking detail and art skills. His writing and characterization is usually what sells his stories over his art skills.
So I'm halfway through Understanding comics and I LOVE ITSomething that makes this book stand out from others is its use of cliffhangers, I think educational books could benefit from this approachThink the most important thing I've learned so far is that comics have a language just like the written word, if you learn what that language is it becomes easier to 'translate' the ideas in your head to pages
YES!! i love the way its written to be entertaining and engaging as well as informative - kinda reminds me of a lot of educational youtube, where they use similar techniques (philosophytube is great)
oh totally - recognising and learning the language of any medium is so useful
Update: Just finished the book and my mind is blown. Don't think I'll ever look at comics the same way again. Like I'm having an existential crisis rn
yes. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
i love the effect this book has haha

Release Date for TN-V4/kexploit & OFW 2.60 Disables Increased Memory Support
After some analysis it seems the latest Psvita official 2.60 firmware update did a little more than we thought.
With exploits, the amount of RAM available to use was limited to us to use. However, back in firmware 2.10 Sony cleared up that availability, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it allowed us to use more than normal. After that update it was possible to use around 64MB. Its unfortunate however, that with the latest firmware that space that allowed us to use the extra RAM is no longer available. So the summation is that TN-V4 will not be able to support the increased memory for 2.60 and above. However, this feature will be available to those under 2.60 when Total_Noob releases the new version of his CEF TN-V later.
So this is something that you'll need to consider if you are thinking of updating from a previously released kernel exploit. Now, depending how porting goes for the new kernel exploit release it is completely possible to use the new exploit on current user mode releases to be able to use said memory increase features.
As for an estimated release date on TN-V4 (and possibly a kernel exploit); Total_Noob says that it will most likely be after the launch of the PS4. There are two reasons for this. One, is that TN is very busy and needs time to work on the release and straighten everything out. Another, is that we will most likely see another official Vita firmware update before the launch of the PS4, and that will probably be a very big update. That update (which should be 3.00) will most likely incorporate features for the PS4 such as Remote Play. Waiting until after, is the best option. As for the release of the PS4, there hasn't been any word on that yet but my best bet is to say around late October/November.
Either way until then there will be some other goodies, and announcements. So, as always check back!

Researchers find inspiration in nature to improve ceramic armor
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Future American Soldiers will be better protected in combat by stronger and lighter body armor thanks to innovative work at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Materials science engineers are using nature as the inspiration for breakthroughs in additive manufacturing.
"My project is to design a system that can 3-D print armor ceramics that will allow production of parts with graded structures similar to an abalone structure in nature that will improve the ceramic armor's toughness and survivability with lower weight," said Joshua Pelz, a materials science and engineering doctoral candidate at the University of California San Diego. He spent this summer working with Army scientists at ARL's Rodman Materials Science Laboratory at APG to design and build a unique 3-D printer.
Two syringes containing distinct, viscous ceramic slurries are connected to a custom-made auger and print head. Pelz took advantage of his computer programming skills to hack into the 3-D printer, tricking it into using its own fan controls to manipulate the ratio of materials being printed. He designed a custom auger and print head and even used the same 3-D printer to create those parts.
"Josh found a way to implement our ideas into that machine, take apart machine, take out the polymer FDM heads that are built into it, start to look at how to design the machine to incorporate our ceramic slurries and print those slurries into the head but then he had to do a lot of really basic work looking at how to actually hack the machine," said Dr. Lionel Vargas-Gonzalez, Ceramics Synthesis and Processing team lead at the laboratory. "We've got people like Josh who were very gifted and talented and can bring all that kind of capability and use a lot to our advantage it's a huge benefit for us."
Current processing techniques used to create ceramic armor are limited by how engineers can combine materials into a stronger composite material.
"For ceramics, that's a bit of a challenge because with you can't really do what a one-step additive manufacturing process like you could if a metal or a polymer," Vargas-Gonzalez said. "We see this as a next avenue for armor because we're going to be able to, in theory, design armor in a way that we can attach multiple materials together into a single armor plate, and be able to provide ways for the armor to perform better than it can be just based on one material alone."
Hard ceramic materials defeat kinetic energy projectiles by shattering them into pieces and decreasing the projectile's penetration ability, he said.
"You have ceramic armors processed typically right now with dry powder and with hot pressing or sintering — we're able to get really good properties and what I mean by those properties I mean really high theoretical density," Vargas-Gonzalez said. "These particles are able to sinter well and you're getting something that's about 99 to 100 percent fully dense because porosity is one of the main deficiencies of ceramic armor when it comes to being able to withstand threats."
"I think that the main thing that sets my design apart from other additive manufacturing and specifically direct ink writing setups is that I can extrude multiple materials out of a single nozzle and I can also extrude any ratio of this material," he said.
Pelz said he came up with the concept during his undergraduate studies at the Colorado School of Mines. "I started working on this project to create next-generation antennas with graded structures and then transitioned into using armor ceramic materials such as boron carbide and silicon carbide and trying to produce parts that had a gradient or internal structures impossible to produce with traditional ceramic forming techniques," Pelz said.
He hopes to take his work with back to the University of California at San Diego this fall where he will continue to collaborate with Army researchers on the project.
"I hope to use this system that I've designed, as well as the processing of creating these armor ceramics and creating armor ceramic composites to develop both next-generation armor, but also apply it to various other fields such as a biomedical implant," he said. "You could use this same system to produce ceramic implants for say a hip replacement or a knee replacement you could produce the ball that would be put into that that hip joint to actually produce those parts. And so this system gives the ability to produce graded parts — composite ceramic parts — for really any application with any material.
The freedom to easily test ideas in additive manufacturing appeals to Pelz, he said.
"I think the freedom to really explore your ideas and do rapid iterations through your various prototypes allows you to very quickly narrow down your ideas and kind of develop a new piece of equipment or a new technology that might take months or years using traditional subtractive manufacturing processes," he said. "3-D printing and additive manufacturing generally gives someone the ability to really design and create anything they want. It's a very quick process from thinking up a design, modeling that design and actually producing that design."
Additive manufacturing offers great potential, Vargas-Gonzalez said.
"For us, there's a limitless amount of design space that we could probably open up because of additive manufacturing," he said. "One of our biggest challenges is being able to make the materials that are going to give us the right properties."
Pelz said that is one of his motivating factors.
"I think that supporting our Soldiers is of utmost importance and I think they're carrying so much weight that a small reduction in weight anywhere in their package will allow them to go farther and do more for our nation," he said.

Ice Road Truckers: The Complete Season 3 [Blu-ray] Mint Used
Ice Road Truckers: The Complete Season 3 [Blu-ray] Mint Used
IRT: DEADLIEST ROADS sends today's toughest drivers to navigate the world's most dangerous roads as they haul their way through India's Himalayan highways, some of the most historic – and lethal – on the planet. From the crowded streets of Delhi, to treacherously steep, narrow and congested roads blasted into the mountainside, seasoned drivers Rick Yemm, Lisa Kelly and Alex Debogorski embark on an exhilarating, exhausting and terrifying adventure, where the difference between life and death is just a few inches…or one very blind corner.
The challenges and perils are never-ending on these ancient trade routes; someone dies on them every 4.5 minutes. If Rick, Lisa and Alex aren't careful, they might wind up as casualty statistics themselves. Tight, winding roads, perilous drops, rock ceilings, weakened mountains, potholes and total roadway failure combine with the ever-present danger of avalanches, communication breakdowns, wild weather and the harder-than-it-sounds task of driving on the other side of the road to challenge, fray the nerves and risk the lives of these courageous drivers. Will they be able to adapt and overcome these dire obstacles when so out of their own elements?

SINGAPORE: Sunday was a beautiful day for TV junkies in Singapore.
That's because it saw the launch of not one but two brand new MediaCorp channels: Okto and Vasantham.
At the Launch Extravaganza held at the MediaCorp TV Theatre on Sunday, the new Vasantham was unveiled in a show that celebrated the history and evolution of Indian broadcasting in Singapore together with more than 100 local artistes and award-winning Kollywood playback singers Krish and Neha Bhasin.
Vasantham is Singapore's first full-fledged free-to-air Indian channel.
Viewers can now enjoy nine hours of programming daily instead of the previous two-and-a-half hours' worth.
What's more, the number of locally produced and acquired programmes has also doubled. There will be food programmes, infotainment series, daily long-form drama serials, four live programmes a week and five movies a week.
Okto is the bigger, better, newly improved Kids and Arts Central rolled into one dynamic channel.
Its new features include interactive programmes catered to all demographics, such as oktoLIVE! at 8.30pm every Tuesday. This is a youth magazine programme produced, scripted and run by the students of Singapore Polytechnic, and gives viewers their say on live television.
For the first time, kids' programmes will be on prime time (7pm to 9pm). Kids can also look forward to watching the "oktoriginals" (locally-produced programmes) My Classmate, Dad (starring Mark Lee) and Cosmo & George (starring Gurmit Singh and Andrea De Cruz).
Connoisseurs of art here will appreciate that FilmArt is now shown on Saturdays as well as Sundays, at 10pm.
Oktoriginal film art productions include Pulau Hantu, which stars Adrian Pang and Hong Kong father-and-son team Richard and Carl Ng, and Squirks, a magazine programme hosted by Hossan Leong.
There's more jolly good news: On Mondays at 11pm, okto has a "Retro Belt" featuring favourites such as Mind Your Language and 'Allo 'Allo.
"It's an exciting moment for many of us", said Lim Suat Jien, Managing Director of TV12, of the launch of the two new channels. "Our viewers can look forward to more choices and variety."
She added: "These channels will strengthen our connections with the Indian, kids and arts communities."

New at BOP:Top Chef Season RecapReview: The Painter and the ThiefThis Weekend, Read ThisNew Trivia QuestionReview: The LovebirdsTop Chef Power RankingsHidden Gems: Love and MercyThis Weekend, Read ThisAll site updatesShare & Save
Visionary director Terry Gilliam brings to the screen a tale of a young girl left to her own devices who deals with the world as best she can.Tideland tells the story of Jeliza-Rose, whose mother has died from a drug overdose and whose father, a former rockabilly guitarist, withdraws from life and from his daughter in the aftermath of his wife's tragic death. Moved by her father to her mother's childhood home in the country, Jeliza-Rose makes the world over into a fantasyland where bodiless Barbie doll heads talk, fireflies have proper names, bog-men prowl the land at dusk, sharks swim along the railroad tracks, and something is making awful noises in the attic. Besides the creatures that inhabit her fantasy world, Jeliza-Rose has found a human friend to keep her company, a neighbor woman called Dell who lives her life shrouded behind a beekeeper's veil. Tideland is a story of loss and survival, of using fantasy to make sense of an often-too-harsh world, of keeping hold of the best of childhood whilst still learning to deal with the trials that life presents on the path to the future. Brought to life by Terry Gilliam, a director who has shown an amazing ability to blend fantasy and reality in equal measures to create a film world that both entrances and delves into the deeper emotions that exist at the heart of the best movies. Gilliam has consistently been able to exist outside the sometimes too-restrictive Hollywood studio system and keep his film visions pure, and whether you love or hate Gilliam - and there doesn't seem to be any between-ground in opinion - it is difficult to deny that Gilliam is a filmmaker of rare insight and commitment to his filmic themes. Tideland promises to be yet another ripping great yarn from this distinctive auteur, and is definitely a project to keep on the radar for all those who enjoy unique movies that eschew the cookie-cutter, safe Hollywood path for the cinematic road less traveled.

24 February 2015
The Prime Minister announced this afternoon the government's decision to send New Zealand Defence Force personnel on a non-combat training mission to Iraq. The deployment will be up to two years and is likely to begin in May.
As the government's principal military advisor, I weighed up the likely outcomes and the risks of supporting the international coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
ISIL's actions have united an international coalition of 62 countries, with about one third providing a military contribution.
In theatre, we will most likely be working alongside the Australian Defence Force, providing training to Iraqi security forces so they can regain the combat skills they need to roll back the threat posed by ISIL and deter its further advances.
Since the 1950s, the NZDF has trained and partnered with other security forces – most recently, in Afghanistan. We have a track record of providing quality military training. This is where we are again going to make a difference.
Although this is not a combat mission, we recognise the inherent risks of sending our personnel to Iraq. I assure our personnel and their families that we will do everything possible to ensure their safety.
Lieutenant General Tim KeatingChief of Defence Force

On the morning of the 26th September, before heading to the hospital, I stepped onto the scales to find out what I weighed. The number glaring back at me was 76.8kg – the heaviest I had ever been.
Fast forward to today: 20 weeks later and I'm now 58.8kg…
For a long time, my weight was 67kg. I ate well, worked out 4 to 5 times a week and enjoyed the odd treat here and there. But like most women, I wanted to lose a few pounds. In fact, my goal weight was 62kg. However, no matter what I did, I couldn't get the number any lower.
If only I could go back in time and say to myself, "be careful what you wish for"…
I step onto the scale weekly, sometimes fortnightly, and log both my weight and calorie intake in MyFitnessPal.
After surpassing 62kg, each time I logged my weight, the app would congratulate me with a colourful confetti filled screen; a harsh reminder as to how quickly and easily the weight was slipping away.
In recent weeks, I felt like I was doing well – eating regularly and exceeding my daily calorie intake. So naturally, I was disappointed to find that yet again, the number had continued to fall.
Winter has made it easy to hide my weight loss (even from myself) under big cosy jumpers. That was until today.
I decided to try on my bikinis to see how much my body had changed. First, I tried on a top. My boobs (that now resemble two half-deflated old party balloons) could barely hold the bandeau up. Then, I tried on the bottoms. My once peachy, round derrière, was no longer. The bottoms were hanging off me! I took a long hard look in the mirror, and that's when it really hit me.
In all honesty, it made me feel like shit. 👎
I texted B and he was quick to reply, reminding me that "this is not a sprint, it is a marathon, and to get to where you want to be, it will take time and dedication".
He's totally right. ❤
For a long time, all I wanted was to lose weight, and now I would do anything to stop and start gaining. It's funny how quickly our priorities and focuses can change – whilst still putting pressure on yourself.
I need to remind myself that it hasn't even been 6 months yet, and my body is still adjusting.
All I can do for now is to keep doing what I'm doing, eat a little bit more, try to increase my protein intake and start exercising regularly. I might not be able to do much about the chest area, but I can aim for an ass that will turn heads again! 😜

Erratic on basalt
A few weeks ago I went to go find these basalt columns off of highway 88 near Silver Lake. There was lots of bushwacking since there is no established trail and the cairns that lead you out there are random at best. I found them and they were pretty cool but there was these boulders of granite on top of the columns. I thought the contrasting colors played well against each other.
Curvature of the earth – Bonsai Rock
Taken last weekend using my fisheye lens, Bonsai Rock in Lake Tahoe. I've seen many photos of Bonsai Rock, usually the best time is late afternoon and around sunset. For this photo I went out early and scrambled down the hillside to the shore and waited for the sun to crest the mountain side. I had the whole shoreline and beach to myself. Recent rains has raised the lake water levels again. I love the clarity of this lake, the blue tones and the rocks under water.
#34 – Photograph Macro/Close-up
This week I pulled #34 from the Lightbox Photography Cards set. "Macro photography is a challenge all by itself with a wealth of subjects for you to choose from." I took several photos that I thought fit the criteria of the challenge. The hardest part of this challenge? Getting close enough to the subject meant sitting or lying down in the dirt and rocks.
Lagomarsino Canyon, NV
Been back from my Southwest trip since early March. I had so many photos that I wanted to post from that trip that it's taken me all the way into May. Now, for some shots from other adventures on the West Coast. Towards the end of March we ventured into Nevada to look for the Lagomarsino Canyon near Virginia City. Over 2000 petroglyphs have been recorded. The site is believed to be over 10,000 years old.
Bisti Wilderness, New Mexico
Finally made it to the Bisti Wilderness in New Mexico. An area in the North Western part of the state. After finding the parking lot and hopping a few cattle fences the landscape changed dramatically after about a 3/4 of a mile.

Blagojevich 'laying down the gauntlet'
February 11, 2010
CHICAGO - Ousted governor Rod Blagojevich pleaded not guilty yesterday to revised federal corruption charges and challenged prosecutors to allow jurors to hear all of the FBI's recordings of his telephone conversations.
Sounding combative after the brief hearing, Blagojevich told reporters he would not ask US District Judge James B. Zagel to prevent jurors from hearing the wiretaps of conversations in which prosecutors say he schemed to sell or trade President Obama's former Senate seat.
"Let me cut right to the chase, today I'm laying down the gauntlet,'' Blagojevich said.
He challenged the government to play all of the roughly 500 hours of recordings during the trial, slated to start June 3.
"I'm not just going to talk the talk, I'm going to walk the walk,'' he said. "Play the tapes, play all the tapes.''
Blagojevich's lawyers contend that a full airing of the recordings would establish his innocence.

HOUSTON, TX – "Looks like a lot of competition here but I will definitely try my best."
Stephanie Pherries is one of more than 40 women who still have hoop dream. They are all trying to score a roster spot for the Houston Inferno which is one of the franchises in the Bikini Basketball Association.
Serenity Lemond, the Inferno's owner, says, "What is this? Are they really playing basketball? Are they going to be in bikinis? Which obviously they're not in bikinis. While this is the Bikini Basketball Association. It's nothing that your family couldn't come and see."
Kaya Pickens is trying out for the squad and says, "Just because you're cute or you like to get your nails done or you like to wear sports bra and tights that you can't hoop."
While some people may laugh at the concept, these tryouts are no laughing matter.
Pherries says, "For me it's just getting the intimidation out of the way and getting the nervousness out of the way. Once I get going, it's just what I have to focus on."
Shante Williams played for the Inferno last year and she says, "I think you get nervous because you see who is out here playing and you are just trying to compare yourself to other people, but really you love the game. you're not actually scared to play the game."
The ladies who tried out aren't afraid, they just hope to land a final roster spot when the Inferno begins their season at the end of June.

May 18th, 2015 – Cara Horowitz, Andrew Sabin Family Foundation co-executive director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, commented on Governor Brown's plan to use revenue from California's cap-and-trade program to fund drought relief in a Los Angeles Times article.
"That's a perfect example of what I think is an easy call," said Cara Horowitz, co-director of UCLA's Environmental Law Clinic. "You're increasing energy efficiency, reducing climate pollution and helping us adapt to a reality with less water."

Hi guys, what's up? How are you all? I hope you all are doing great right. Oooo another version of Android is here which has a even yummy name called "Marshmallow." OMG marshmallow is my favorite, all these are going to give me a sugar rush, hahaha. Now coming to the topic, this is Android 6.0.
Nexus 5x and Nexus 6P were the first to get Android Marshmallow. It has a battery that works smarter, not harder. It saves your battery for what matters most. When your device is at rest, Doze automatically puts it to sleep so your phone can actually go off your alarm even if you forget to charge it. Battery doesn't drain from seldom apps anymore. There is no need to give apps access all the time. It lets you define what to share and when. You can simply use finger print scan to unlock your phone rather than having to type security passwords. It's going to be great once people get it. I really hope to try it.
Well, not many phones have gotten it yet, but might after some time. Have a good day. See ya.

Though the Times in both London and New York have emphasized empty tables and money troubles at At Vermilion, the owner challenged the numbers in an interview today with Epicurious. Rohini Dey disputes telling the New York Times that her restaurant must double its covers in order to make $6 million this year. That figure is "an aspirational mark," she insists, "like saying, 'Wouldn't it be great if I could succeed Obama.'" Dey also disagrees with the London paper's portrayal of backer Salman Rushdie's role in generating business, saying he's not a "key player" and asserting that a literary dinner he planned to host at At Vermilion was just one in a series of cultural events and not an attempt to draw diners. Whatever his level of involvement, Rushdie and other investors can't be excited that they coughed up cash for a massive, experimental restaurant that opened days before the Dow fell 400 points.
