Rope club & Ladies
We started the new year off by attending a "rope tying" event at Townhouse. We've attended Townhouse for the Kink nights organised by the Kinksters, which are male only nights in a fantastic sex-club venue. Townhouse itself is located just outside Birkenhead, but in a quiet area, and the BDSM facilities in there are great. Its run as a straight sex club, with some good themed nights (you'll find more on Fetlife if you look), and at the last Kink event, Sir was talking to the owner who mentioned to him that if he was interested in rope he should attend this event in the new year as they would have a Shibari master there.
We didn't really know what to expect when we turned up but the venue was very very busy with a lot of straight couples and singles all checking into the venue. I decided that i'd just go along with the flow of things as Sir really wanted a model to practice rope work on, and that was my role for the day. I'd taken my pup gear with me and was wearing my neoprene underneath a set of trackie bottoms and my puppy t-shirt. The event organisers were really friendly. They spotted immediately that we were new to the event (which turns out runs monthly) and came over and introduced themselves. We were the only gays in the village at the event, so we weren't difficult to spot, but the people attending were really really friendly and it was great to see how well they all got on, and how social it was.
The organiser started to split people up into groups, ranging from beginners and newbies to the event through to experienced people. It was at this point I felt we shouldn't really go in the beginners group as Sir is a lot more experienced than he realises in terms of his tying. However, when they started asking if he knew how to tie certain knots, the terminology was alien to him, so we decided to go into the beginners group. We were all ushered to a big room on the top floor of Townhouse where we all sat down and a few of the people who had been attending for a while started to demonstrate basic knots.
It was at this point that something I had joked about in the car on the way to the venue actually happened. Because it was going to be a mixed event, in a venue near where I grew up, I had joked on the way there about awkwardly bumping into someone I knew from where I worked or family. As it turns out the aunt of one of my godchildren was in the room with us, and as we introduced ourselves around in a group, she loudly proclaimed "oh my, you're Brian and Tony!". It was awkward, but a few facebook messages later after the event, I think we agreed that the 1st rule of Ropeclub is that we wont speak about Ropeclub, and what goes on in Townhouse will stay in Townhouse!
A few people didn't have rope, so Tony offered some of his and then after the demonstration of the first knot, then asked a question about some other knots that were easier to tie, and demonstrated them. It was at this point that the person demonstrating asked Tony what the hell he was doing in this beginners group, and we got politely evicted to go and join the intermediate groups on the lower floor.
On arrival downstairs, the guy running the group and Tony got some one on one time to discuss his experience, and Tony used me to demonstrate the rope cage. So I was fully roped up, from top to bottom in the middle of the room whilst Tony then proceeded to help another couple. I laughed at how Sir had such an aversion to touching the girl's breast who was being tied up, as he showed the couple how the knots were tied. Given that we were in the middle of a sex club, during the day, with women, its amazing how out of our comfort zones we both were at times. We had to leave as it got to early evening, and I had no idea what happened during the event as the evening got later, as if its anything like Kink, people's inhibitions disappear and they start to play, and I'm not sure if we were ready for that.
I couldn't find my pup headspace during the day. I'd love to go back into that environment with some other pups as I think they'd be receptive to pups being there, but even just being tied up and helpless in a room full of women felt very strange. Its definitely something I realise is outside my comfort zone that I'm intrigued to follow up though, and there were some cute single bi guys in the group, I hope turn up to Kink at some point, so I can say hello properly 🙂

Ottawa Food – Formerly The Ottawa County Food Policy Council
Collaborative effort to ensure access to healthy, local and affordable food.
Ottawa Food is a collaboration of over 40 local agencies and individuals that exists to ensure all Ottawa County residents have access to healthy, local, and affordable food choices.
Ottawa Food consists of members from a variety of backgrounds; including local public health, food pantries, human service organizations, food security advocates, farmers, community members, MSU Extension, Feeding America West Michigan, and many others.
Ottawa Food developed a strategic plan for 2019-2021, which consists of 3 priority areas:
1 Eliminate Hunger in Ottawa County
2 Healthy Eating by All
3 Increase Sourcing of Local Food
Ottawa Food has two subcommittees (Healthy Eating and Hunger) that both also focus on local food. Subcommittees meet monthly and Ottawa Food meets as a large group quarterly, as does the Ottawa Food Advisory Board.
Ottawa Food also has a Consumer Advisory Committee that exists to engage residents and ensure that Ottawa Food receives feedback and suggestions from community members. The Committee consists of a group of Ottawa County residents who use at least one type of food resource (Bridge Card, WIC, food pantry, Meals on Wheels, Commodities, etc.). Participants provide feedback on current and future Ottawa Food initiatives. Ottawa Food greatly values the input provided by this group.
For more information or to get involved with Ottawa Food, contact Lisa by email or call 616-393-5770.

Bookcases are not limited to the office. Living rooms and bedrooms are also places we like to keep our books and displays of other things in your Festus home. A lot of folks are doing their reading on tablets etc, but some of us still like books in print form. There's something cozy about a book on the recliner and we like browsing the shelf to find what we're looking for. We often find other things there we should read again. We offer many sizes and styles at our showroom. Stone Haus Furniture serves the Festus MO area.

Thanksgiving, Day 5
This music teacher is loath to toot her own horn, but looking over past entries in my blog reveals that I am pretty thankful throughout the year! I am using some of today's post to highlight people about whom I've previously written. These people regularly challenge me to be the best Lady J I can be. Consider this somewhat of a "greatest hits" kind of entry. 🙂
1. Zoe. That is, Zoe Jane Volkswagen. You don't realize the stress you put your car under until you try to make your legs/bicycle do the same thing.
3. Regularity. I won't elaborate.
5. Proactiv Plus. My skin is so clear now; it seriously has been a Godsend! I don't break out like I'm 15 anymore.
6. Give the patience and excellence in coaching award to this chick. Now.
7. My stupid battery life on my stupid phone. Legit first world problem here, but waiting until my contract is up to upgrade is proving to be a serious lesson in patience. Clearly, it's a lesson I must need.
8. This woman is all up in my life and thus my blog. For reals.
9. My not so great eyesight. I remember when I was at piano camp in high school and we had communal bathrooms – I could take my glasses off and it's like the germs weren't even there!
10. Nothing less than a 10 for Lady J. Heh.

So I am thinking a makeup artist is in order for the big day. I absolutely do not want to look a hot mess by time the reception rolls around. I still want to look like myself, just prettier and with better hair. Possible? Lucky me, my sister is a hair stylist and will be throwing my side chignon bun thingy into place. That, I am not worried about. It is the whole makeup thing. I absolutely do not want to be strolling down he isle looking like Tammy Faye Baker. I love the natural look with a twist. Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner have it down. So this will be my inspiration. I kind of want some super sexy eyelashes too. A la sixties sex kitten:
I think I need help finding a makeup artist though. How does one go about doing this?!? I am from San Diego but my wedding is in San Luis Obispo and I have never had my makeup done before. This could be difficult. Any suggestions? Lay it on me.

Barcelona's Ultra-Modern Park; Parc del Centre del Poblenou
Recently when looking at offers in Spain to buy or rent, we spent some time in Barcelona. Barcelona is the leader in ultra-modern architecture and art. Visitors flock to see Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece the Sagrada Família as well as his famous Parc Güell , but many tourists are unaware of the artistic treasures off the tourist path in Barcelona. The city is home to many innovative urban parks such as the contemporary Parc de Diagonal Mar and Parc de l'Espanya Industrial . But one park that exemplifies Barcelona's commitment to ultra-modern art and architecture is the Park del Centre del Poblenou in the Sant Marti district. The park sits in the shadow of the giant kaleidoscope-style tower of Torre Agbar. Both of these architectural masterpieces were designed by French-born architect Jean Nouvel.
Torre Agbar and Jean Nouvel
Jean Nouvel is a world-renowned leader in innovative design. His international list of achievements include the ultra-modern Dubai Opera, W Hotel Dubai, Gazprom City in St. Petersburg Russia, and the Guggenheim Museum, in Rio de Janerio. In Barcelona he is credited with the stunning design for his own version of a skyscraper; Torre Agbar. This 38-story building, constructed of reinforced concrete with a multicolored glass façade is now on the list of must see attractions in Barcelona. The towering bullet-shaped building can be seen from virtually any place in the city. Strips of painted sheet metal in striking red and blue shades are illuminated at night or reflective during the day; both offering a brilliant effect. Truly an amazing sight!
The Urban Space of Park del Centre del Poblenou
The relatively new Poblenou Park spans 55,600 square metres and is divided into five islands, bordered and separated by multiple streets. The minimalist and abstract features of the park are immediately apparent; single silver park seats scattered randomly throughout the grounds and rising strands of metallic plant stalks shooting out from various sections. Although the park looks extremely concrete and modern, it was designed to be a model of sustainability. Many diverse plants, flowers, and trees occupy the grounds; including 1,000 species of trees, such as Babylon Willow and Tipu trees, 5,000 shrubs, cacti, plants and climbing flowers; the park even holds its own water supply.
The park is enclosed by stone walls covered with beautiful climbing purple flowers called Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana or Paper Flowers. The park features a children's play area, a dog park, wicker type-huts and ping pong tables. Inside the park are many innovative features not found in other parks.
Features of the Park del Centre del Poblenou
Ten thematic elements are showcased throughout the park. One whole island is dedicated to the Nius i Pous del Cel or Nests and Cells; towering futuristic metallic structures designed as mini-havens from the city crowds. The circular rest areas consist of large canopies covered with white cascading flowers, drooping branches and the bright pink berries of the Pepper Tree.
The Cràter-pou del Món is spiral path filled with climbing purple flowers that leads down into the crater of the world. This simulated crater is designed to cross cultural communication barriers as many people sit in the center and play various instruments producing an eerie echo effect.
Les Voltes is an area marked with sharp contrasts; a peaceful tree-lined path under a canopy of plant covered arches with towering abstract silver ornament sculptures that shoot out from the ground. Nearby is the lunar looking landscape of the ultra-urban Rock Garden; jagged rocks sit surrounded by a wall of soft purple flowers. Located in the center of the park is Plaça de la Sardana; a large circular meeting area surrounded by giant ferns, nearby are large wicker huts for children to hide and play in.
There are multiple streets that cut through the park. To keep the peaceful nature of the park intact, the designers created a tunnel of flowers over Carrer Espronceda. This peaceful walkway filled with climbing plants and flowers allows pedestrians to cross from one island to another while still feeling enclosed in the park. The enclosure helps to drown out the noise of the traffic and city as well.
Directions to Parc del Centre del Poblenou
Parc del Centre de Poblenou is located at Av. Diagonal 130, between the streets Carrer Bilbao, Bac de Roda and Carrer Marroc. From Torre Agbar it is about a ten minute walk, head east on Avinguda Diagonal toward Carrer de la Ciutat de Granada, the park will be at the intersection of av. Diagonal and Carrer Marroc.
From Plaça de Catalunya, take the subway from the Urquinaona stop toward La Pau, exit Poblenou stop, then walk northwest on Carrer de Bilbao toward Carrer del Llatzeret. Slight left at Passatge de la Fàbrica Vilarasau, then turn left at Carrer del Marroc. The park is open daily from 10:00a.m. until dusk with summer hours until 9:00 p.m.
The Parc del Centre del Poblenou is like a peaceful oasis in the crowded city of Barcelona. Architect and art lovers alike should plan to visit this new and innovative urban park; its fusion of abstract design, ornamental elements, and artistic gardening gives visitors a fresh perspective on what can and should be done with urban spaces.

We return to Sunday music with this month's featured artist, jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby.
Today's selection is Ashby's composition "Games" from her 1968 Cadet release, Afro-Harping. This album features Ashby backed by an apparently unknown orchestra (including theremin on some cuts). Allmusic reviewer Ron Wynn describes Afro-Harping as "the best and most complete album done by jazz harpist …Dorothy Ashby"; Joshua Weiner, writing for the all about jazz site finds the album more a product of its particular time, a proto example of acid jazz, but still describes the music as "fascinating", & goes on to write:
Those interested in 60s mod will enjoy it for its own sake, while others will be provided with an interest-piquing introduction to a largely forgotten instrument, and musician, in jazz.
Hope you enjoy it.

This course focuses on the conjugal relationship, that is, marriage, registered domestic partnership, and informal cohabitation. We will examine the legal principles and social policies governing the creation, maintenance, and dissolution of conjugal relationships. We will spend a good deal of time on the economic and custodial incidents of dissolution (divorce), including spousal support, child support, and child custody. We will pay particular attention to California law and to the American Law Institute's Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution(2002). Family Law is a companion course to Community Property, Children and the Law, and Wills and Trusts. Family Law does not repeat the subject matter of those courses, but is conceptually related to them. There are no prerequisites.

Re-introduction to Motherhood by Lisa Kelly
It started with the smell of chlorine. The whole house smelled like a swimming pool. A couple of days later it was lilacs. Then vanilla. Who covered everything in vanilla?? Then came the itching. Oh, how my legs itched! I thought it was an allergy to the new soap I had purchased. Then a dizziness that would come and go. Sometimes I would wake up in the night thinking the bed was moving. I took my bundle of concerns and dumped them on my fiancé'. "I think I have a brain tumor." He laughed and told me I was just pregnant. Oh hello, genius!! I just had a period and at 44 I'm a wee bit too old for that. In fact, I had just talked to my doctor about having a hysterectomy because of fibroids. Pregnant? Good grief!
He kept insisting this was the problem so I bought a three pack of pregnancy tests. Wow! They actually say the words "PREGNANT" or "NOT PREGNANT" on them now. Nineteen years ago the only choice was to count lines. You could forget it if one line was really faint. That happened with my first child and I had to go buy another one a week later to be certain. This time I could not go wrong with a three pack of tests that would say "NOT PREGNANT". There would be no doubt that I had a brain tumor. I was quite sure of this.
Test one: PREGNANT. Surely that's a typo. Test two: PREGNANT. What?? Quick google search on the accuracy of these dumb things. Oh-oh. False positives almost never happen. Test three: PREGNANT. So much for the world travel I had planned!
The reason I want to write for Motherhood Later is because the stuff I found on the internet about being pregnant at 44 was absolutely terrifying. I digested so much negativity. Downs Syndrome. Trisomy 13. 18. 19. The numbers just kept racking up. Maternal mortality. By the time I got in to see a high risk OB, I was a complete nervous wreck. She agreed that yes, the risks were notably higher but she could send me for testing if I thought I would want the option to terminate a non-viable fetus. I read up on the test options and the myriad of risks associated with them. The internet is not the place to become educated on such important matters unless you want to scare yourself to death. I did opt to have Chorionic villus sampling (CVS), a story in its own right which I will tell you later. The good news is that I'm now in week 22 of a perfectly normal pregnancy thus far. If all continues to go well, my 19 year old son will have a baby sister in September. I'm excited to share my story with other anxious moms and hope you will continue along this journey with me.

Teheran Talks a Challenge for Albright
The sight of ranking delegations from a number of U.S. allies being glad-handed in Teheran Monday was a troubling spectacle for Madeleine Albright — and U.S. policy on the Middle East. Iran trumpeted the arrival of representatives from the 55 member states of the Islamic Conference — including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt and other U.S. allies — for a summit which opens on Tuesday was heralded by Iran as a victory over Washington's policy of isolating Teheran. Many of the same moderate Arab governments had stood up Albright last month at an economic summit in Doha in Qatar in order to express their displeasure at Washington's performance in the Mideast peace process. Many observers believe this gathering will reinforce calls within the administration for a rethink of Mideast and Gulf policies: The recent Gulf crisis showed not only that Washington has little support in Europe and the Arab world for its Iran and Iraq policies but also that President Clinton's perceived failure to press Benjamin Netanyahu to comply with Israeli-Palestinian accords has made Arab governments leery of signing on with U.S. initiatives. Whatever the outcome of this week's summit, the guest list alone is enough to confirm that Albright and her department have their work cut out for them.

Ondeh-ondeh is such a fun food to snack on. These bite-sized pandan flavoured balls made from glutinous rice flour are filled with melted gula melaka, so that when you bite into one, you get a mini-explosion on caramel gooeyness in your mouth.
Tag Archives: peranakan
Kueh Salat
Unlike most of the stuff I've done for this blog, this is my first STEAMED dessert. To make this traditional Peranakan sweet treat, you have to first steam the glutinous rice, cook the kaya (pandan coconut custard), and then steam the two layers together to bind them.

Viva La Super-Pet Revolucion!
Whether it's Power Man and Iron Fist beating up a Tiger or Jimmy Olsen karate kicking a leopard while living out his past life as Marco Polo, I've given a lot of time over lately to discussing comic book characters fighting animals, which I'm reasonably certain surprises nobody.
But what I haven't mentioned is that sometimes, those animals fight back. And so in the interest of keeping things fair, we turn once again to that most awesome of times, the 30th Century, and Adventure Comics #364 for...
I've briefly mentioned this Jim Shooter/Pete Costanza epic before when I posted the panel where Streaky body-checks Chameleon Boy right in the mean bean machine, but considering that only 93% of the stories involving the super-pets feature them rebelling against their owners, I imagine a few of you were curious as to how things escalated to that point.
Shockingly, it starts out with Brainiac 5 being a total jerk. See, the Legion of Super-Pets--which, I remind you, contains a dog, a cat, a monkey, a horse and... uh... whatever Proty II is--thoroughly defeats an invasion of earth by a trio of fully-armed Remote-Control Crime Machines, saving countless citizens from death by disitegrator ray. And apparently, that's just not good enough.
Admittedly, Brainiac has a point, but considering that a) they are animals, and b) Krypto never built a robot that went on a murderous rampage and killed one of his friends, you'd think he'd cut them a little slack.
Anyway, that's the last straw for the Super-Pets, who decide they've had enough of their second class treatment and, despite Saturn Girl's attempts to talk it over, decide to relocate to the planet Thanl with their new friend Rikkor Rost. And not to spoil the suspense, but we can already tell that guy's evil by virtue of having the most severe Widow's Peak I have ever seen:
He whisks them off to Thanl with his teleporter just in time for Superboy and the rest of the Legionnaires to come back from their own battle with the Remote-Control Crime Machines. Apparently they followed Brainy's standard procedure and were still thwarted when said Crime Machines vanished into thin vacuum, so it seems they owe a certain group of Super-Pets an apology.
Of course, once they actually get to Thanl, it's a little more complicated than that, as the local population has flipped for Krypto's running crew. Still, once the Super-Heroes actually get around to talking to the Super-Pets, they've almost got them convinced to come back with Superboy's kind words to Krypto and Supergirl's heartfelt plea to Streaky.
And that's when Chameleon Boy goes apeshit.
And, well, I think we all know where it goes from there.
Before long, the Super-Pets have beaten the living crap out of the Legionnaires, a fight that ends with Comet kicking their space-ship so hard that it flies back to Earth, which may actually be the Legion's most humiliating defeat ever.
But it doesn't end there! Under the guidance of Rikkor Rost, the Super-Pets decide that the Legion's probably plotting against them and the relatively good-natured people of Thanl, and decide to send Comet and Proty to infiltrate as spies.
Comet, taking advantage of the fact that he turns into a human being whenver he's around a comet due to a curse by Circe from what's got to be the most complicated Non-Claremont origin in the history of comics, takes the identity of Biron the Bowman whose mastery of the longbow is matched only by the tininess of his shorts! And Proty assumes the secret identity of... Blockade Boy!
Well, not that Blockade Boy. He's actually disguised as the one who died in The Stalag of Space twenty-two issues ago, but when he's asked about it, he manages to stumble his way into blurting out "Er... I'm his brother!" while talking directly to Saturn Girl, the Telepath.
Smooth, Proty. Very smooth.
Incidentally, Supergirl's there when they show up, and despite the fact that one of the Kryptonian super-powers total recall memory and the fact that she actually remarks on how much they look alike, she can't quite put it together that Biron the Bowman and Bronco Bill Starr--the fake name Comet uses to woo Kara as a rodeo professional back in the 20th century--are actually the same person. So yeah: Not exactly a braintrust.
Eventually, of course, Proty and Comet come to the conclusion that, no, the Legion is not plotting against them. Even better, with the information they have about Rikkor's teleport technology, they're able to catch up with what the rest of us figured out back on Page 9 and come to the conclusion that Thanl's behind the invasion of the Crime Machines, which, of course...
...leads to the Legion stomping on Rikkor's face hard enough that everything works out okay. Invisible Kid even goes so far as to tell the Comet that they recognized him right off when he tried out as Biron the Bowman, but wanted to prove that they could re-earn the Super-Pets' trust. Heck, they even sent Supergirl off on another mission so she wouldn't find out about Comet's dual identity, which, uh, means that the Legion is totally cool with the fact that Supergirl occasionally dates a horse.
So once again, evil is defeated, and everyone has a good long laugh about their little misunderstanding.
Except for Streaky, who even now is plotting his terrible, terrible revenge.

You're two weeks old today. And I know this about you already, you love Chopin, especially the Nocturnes. And especially this piece:
I can play it for you over and over and over, and every time I do, you turn your lovely little head to listen. It calms you when we're changing you; after your bath; or just because; I love to play it for you.
Sometimes I play it for you in the dead of night after I've changed and fed you, and I stand in the middle of your room, you over my shoulder [I'm waiting for you to burp], and I sway slowly with you to this music. Until you burp you're not so comfortable and you squirm and wiggle; and I dance. Once you've burped, you calm down; and the music surrounds us, envelops us in its sweetness; I kiss the top of your head and slowly you fall asleep.
And we dance together. My beautiful boy. This music was written for us.

I've often found that creating and breaking habits can only be done by consciously forcing myself to commit to it. Makes sense, right? This new quest to recreate my artistic self is no different. Here are the second and third full pages in my sketchbook.
I intend to do more. Intentions are sometimes better than dreams. Dreams can feel so far away some days. I need make myself see the steps up to the heavens. Each little cloud can carry me higher. Pretty soon the stars will be within reach.
Be well.

While the Radio Times itself might no longer be produced by the BBC, the current owners rightly recognised that Doctor Who would be a huge draw at their inaugural festival, cognisant of a relationship that spans the show's 52-year run.
Pitched opposite Henry VIII's former residence at Hampton Court, the festival runs for an evening and three full days. The Festival line-up might boast big hitters like Andrew Marr, David Attenborough and Bruce Forsyth, but the popular through line on Friday was three sessions with a Doctor Who bias – Russell T Davies, The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who and Doctor Who.
As show runner and lead writer for Doctor Who's first four seasons in its 21st century regeneration, Russell T Davies needs no introduction. Interviewed by Radio Times TV editor Alison Graham, a straw poll was taken at the beginning to determine the mix of fans – skewed to Doctor Who but with a good showing for Queer as Folk and Cucumber. Davies appeared immediately at ease with his audience, chuckling away just as we remember him from his Doctor Who Confidential days. Asked about his tenure on the show he regrets not enjoying it as much as he might have at the time due to the sheer size of the workload (Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures also occupied his waking hours).
He's currently working on a new adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Cardiff, an ambition he's held for 30 years. He's thrilled that the BBC plan to show it at prime time – as reflected by the stellar cast. This is a man with an acute understanding of TV, and he laments that the battle to preserve the BBC may already be lost.
Witty, self-deprecating and brutally honest, he stayed behind to sign DVD sleeves (and old copies of the Radio Times – natch) and pose for photos. As The Five-ish Doctors showed us, he is Russell THE Davies. Definitely the definite article.
The Science of Doctor Who was presented by Simon Guerrier and Dr Marek Kukula, authors of the book of the same name, and what a great combo they were. The ultimate tag team of Doctor Who enthusiast and astronomer, no single question thrown at them by the audience was replied to in an incomplete manner. These guys know their stuff, and no number of teasers from the predominantly young quizmasters broke their stride.
Accompanied by clips from Spearhead from Space, Revelation of the Daleks, Kill the Moon, Genesis of the Daleks and The Magician's Apprentice, the show's conceits and devices were put under the science microscope. General consensus was that sometimes the science stands up to less scrutiny than it might and that ultimately we can all decide what works for us. And who knew that Terry Nation's icecanoes in Planet of the Dalek would actually be ahead of their time? I'm still waiting for the Moon to actually be proven to be a giant egg…
And onto the main event in the festival's big top – a panel with Peter Capaldi, executive producer Brian Minchin and show runner Steven Moffat, hosted by Orient Express train driver Perkins – Frank Skinner. Except that someone was missing. Davros and the Daleks couldn't stop the Doctor, but Friday rush hour traffic on the M4 did! With the promise that we'd still get our full hour with The Doctor the session began 20 minutes late and without the main main – as happens with most doctors! Frank Skinner is a self-confessed Doctor Who fan and a chat show host. This probably makes him the most suitable person to hold court and he didn't disappoint.
Starting with a charm offensive he still managed to make Moffat squirm around the topic of whether we're getting a full season in 2016 (nothing was given away) and whether a new companion has been chosen yet (the answer was no). The comedian is a natural raconteur and the best compliment I can give the session is that it felt like a polished Friday night TV chat show.
When Peter finally appeared the crowd's applause was probably that little bit louder, fuelled by relief that he was finally here. Topics ranged from action figures, to his wild hair, to his ever-changing wardrobe. He recalls a lunchtime conversation with Julian Bleach (Davros) about corned beef; you probably had to be there, but Capaldi is still giddy about playing the role of a lifetime. He's happy that he probably still hasn't nailed the role and if he's typecast from now on as The Doctor then that's something he'd happily live with. Could more episodes be produced each year? Only if quality dropped – and mindful that it already takes nine months to produce 12 episodes and a Christmas special.
Verdict: A great mix of old and new, science fact and science fiction, the Doctor Who strand at the Radio Times Festival was well judged, with each session flying by. If the Festival returns I have no doubt that a strong presence by the BBC's ongoing monster hit will be wanted. 8/10

Taking place from 1 – 3 June 2020, a host of North America's most senior decision-makers and business leaders from across multiple industries will descend upon the beautiful The Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, Florida for our fourth edition of the Digital Innovation Insight Summit, to discuss the most pressing challenges – and opportunities – in the fast-moving innovation sector.
Amongst other things, the summit will be discussing: How-to masterclass – Scaling innovation beyond the lab; Thought leadership – from legacy to leading-edge: becoming innovation-ready; and Understanding the Augmented Reality ecosystem and how to deliver real value to your business through AR today and for the future.
From case studies that lift the lid on operations inside best-in-class organizations, to workshops and collaborative sessions that focus on real challenges and future technology innovations, to one-to-one meetings with industry peers offering practical advice tailored to your specific needs, the summit provides you with everything you need to implement your key projects more effectively.
We have struck up many conversations and a couple of transformation projects with suppliers GDS have introduced us to.
Clearly delivered on my expectation of a higher level view on marketing.
Engaging people and topics throughout. And a stunning setting!
Every GDS Summit has one stated aim: to help attending executives implement their key projects more effectively. We do this by developing an in-depth understanding of those executives' project needs, the business outcomes they want to achieve, and the challenges they face in terms of hitting those goals.

It is possible for a person to build a civilization. Alexander the Great did this and so did many other world leaders. Although many people are always involved -- such as military and civilians -- all of their actions are guided in the end by a single leader. We could use a modern leader like this again.
Yes, It is possible for a man to build a civilization, and it has happened a lot. A man with good speaking skills can convince people of his cause and get them to follow him to a new place and live as one people, look at the pilgrims in America.
Of course one person can build a civilization, especially if they are charming and intelligent at the same time. We have seen this happen several times throughout history. Empires are usually started with one person's ideas. Or, at most, a handful of people. Whether good or evil, one person is very capable of building a civilization.
A single person can build a civilization in a game and there are many games available that allow a person to do just this. In reality however, I do not believe a single person can build a civilization and if they did so they would not live to see it as their ancestors would be the civilzation and not the sole intentity that started it.
A civilization is much more than one person can accomplish. In order to have a civilization, a group of people have to come together and start developing a culture, a system of government, and an industry of some type. This is more than one person can possibly put into action. It takes many years to develop a civilization.

Languedoc. Land of three kisses. Everyone knows that the French greet each other with kisses on the cheek. However, the French kissing custom can garner intense confusion for visiting foreigners. Like a secret code that only locals are privy to, the number of kisses exchanged varies based on geography, ranging anywhere from 1 to 5 (!!) kisses. Observe:
As you may or may not know, my husband and I recently spent an amazing two months travelling from one end of the Mediterranean to the other. We started out in Portugal (I know, I know, not technically the Med, but Jamiroquai was playing a music festival and I absolutely had to go), then headed west, spending time in Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Cyprus. Yeah, sounds pretty rough, I am fully aware.
This post will focus on our first few days in France, which were spent in the Languedoc region, located on the Mediterranean side of the Southwest. When we arrived in Pignan, the small town near Montpellier where we would be staying, we were greeted by our hosts. It was time for the aforementioned preliminary greetings. Most of my family is from the Aix-en-Provence area, so I stopped at two kisses, but my host came in for more (land of three kisses!!), which is always somewhat awkward, like leaving a high five hanging mid-air. And then there's the question of which side of the face to go for first. Whenever I arrive in France, I invariably choose the wrong side, and end up nearly locking lips with strangers.
Once the initial doorway pleasantries and associated awkwardness were over, we wasted no time diving right into the local food and wine customs. As an apéritif, we enjoyed a bottle of Miraflors Lafabuleuse, from Domaine Lafage (you may be familiar with their rosé, which flies off the shelves every summer). This slightly off-dry and effervescent white is a fantastic way to get those salivary glands going before a meal, and pairs well with many hors d'œuvres.
The outdoor fireplace you can see in the background above was where the magic happened, and created some of our most memorable meals while in Languedoc. That first night we were treated to the traditional brasucade, where mussels are marinated and slowly cooked over a wood fire. I can't even begin to tell you how delicious it was. To the point where we ate standing around the table, ravenously eating mussels with our fingers. It made for an amazing first meal to celebrate our arrival.
The next morning, we woke up, had breakfast, showered, then went straight to a winery. When in France, n'est-ce pas?
St. Georges d'Orques is a small parcel of vineyards that form part of the larger Côteaux de Languedoc AOC appellation. Driving through it is a unique and incredibly picturesque experience, with small winding roads, archeological digs, wild horses, and acre upon acre of vines, each owned by a different family and passed down from generation to generation. Thomas Jefferson was said to have fallen in love with the region's wines while he was the US Ambassador to France, and even had them imported to the White House upon becoming president!
The Belles Pierres ("beautiful stones") winery takes its name from both the famous Roman ruins down the road, as well as the large stone walls known as clos or clauzes that delineate properties and are a typical sight in the area.
We arrived at Belles Pierres around 11:30 a.m., "just in time for l'apéro" according to my very French father. Fine by me! As a sommelier, I know that the morning is the best time to do a wine tasting, when all the senses are most sensitive, alert, and working at their best. Belles Pierres owner and winemaker Damien Coste was there to greet us. It was mid-August, a quiet time for grape growers. The calm before the harvesting storm. An intense heat wave—known as la canicule—had recently sped many grapes all across the region to maturity, and harvest was estimated to take place around August 25 at Belles Pierres…two to three weeks earlier than usual.
Our host invited us to the tasting room, eager to share his product with his first clients of the day. He humbly introduced his small, family-run winery, which prides itself in respecting the land through organic practices, mentioning in passing that some of his wines were staples in the presidential cellar at the Palais d'Elysée, a sure sign you've made it in the wine world in France. As he talked about the winery and its products, we tasted through about 7 different wines, ranging from light table wines to rich sweet wines (all before lunch!). Each one had its own story and distinct flavour profile. Here are a couple of my favourites:
Les Clauzes de Jo rosé 2016
This is no rosé piscine (pool-side rosé)—this is serious stuff. Syrah and mourvèdre are vinified separately and barrel aged on their lees, then blended just prior to bottling. The barrel time means the wine can even be cellared for a couple of years. The final product is a gorgeous salmon colour, mid-weight on the palate, with strawberry, peach and cranberry notes. High acidity makes this a very food-friendly wine. Les Clauzes de Jo can be found in the French presidential cellar and has won several Decanter awards.
Les Clauzes de Jo red 2015
As with the rosé, this delicious GSM (grenache, syrah, mourvèdre) blend is part of the Clauzes de Jo line. Jo is an affectionate nod to Joseph, the patriarch of the family and Damien's father, who is still involved in winery operations (keeping it all in the family is typical in the smaller, family-run Languedoc wineries). All the grapes for this wine are hand-picked then barrel aged for one year. The nose shows rich, dark fruit like black cherry and plum, as well as a hint of sweet spice and cigar box. On the palate it is smooth, with perceptible tannin. The initial flavour is black cherry, followed by the sweet spice and cigar box from the nose, with the addition of chocolate. This is a perfect fall or winter wine to pair with stews or grillades of pork chops or steak.
Monica – El Encuentro
Syrah, grenache and muscat à petits grains noirs sit on the vine into the fall, their sugars concentrating until they are harvested in late September to mid-October. With each sip, this late-harvest red tells the story of how Damien met his late wife, Monica. Its rich and enveloping ripe dark fruit and cocoa aromas lure you in again and again. To quote my own tasting notes, "Yummy, so yummy". Pair with black forest cake or try a contrasting regional pairing like roquefort.
We only spent five days in this beautiful and relatively unknown part of France, and barely scratched the surface of this amazing region known for mussels, Carcassonne and cassoulet. But that was all it took to fall in love with it. The amazing food and wine, the seaside location, the beautiful views, and the incredibly generous inhabitants make Languedoc a very appealing place to visit with so much to discover. We know we'll be back.
This post is part of a monthly blogger "gathering" called the French Winophiles. I've been admiring this group of wine and food bloggers from afar for a while now, and decided to take the plunge this month and join in! The Winophiles get together on Twitter once a month to share their passion for France and its wines (not to mention delicious food pairings).

10 Habits of Successful Network Marketers!
HERE's the Good News…
Successful Networkers have been TRACKED, STUDIED, and extensively interviewed…With basic observation you will easily notice the SAME traits, the SAME qualities, the SAME thought processes, and the SAME HABITS, with almost ALL OF THEM!!! So, YOUR job is to NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL…Simply, Do what THEY do!!!
So, with that said, let's dig in…BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK of how many you have!!!
Success Habit #10: MONEY BASED
The Successful Network Marketer picks opportunities that can make them BIG MONEY!!! That means, they DO NOT mess around with little online programs…They would NEVER even consider a $5, $10, or $20 program. Those are JOKES, and are "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" money games.
Success Habit #9: PERSISTANCE
The Successful Network Marketer DOES NOT jump from program to program to program. They choose their program wisely, by picking the right company, the right product, the right compensation plan, the right affordability, and the right support…Then they stick with it until they are successful. Take a look at ANY networker who jumps from program to program…More than likely they are BROKE!!!
Success Habit #8: SET GOALS
This is one of the most overlooked, and yet MUST helpful things you can do. Did you know that ONLY 3% of the population have EVER written down their goals on a piece of paper? It's been shown that those who WRITE DOWN their goals have a 1000% better success rate than those who don't. The Successful Network Marketer NOT ONLY has very concise goals, they also write them down frequently!!!
Success Habit #7: RESET YOUR BRAIN
QUIT Complaining, Take Responsibility, and GET FOCUSED!!! The Successful Network Marketer DOES NOT complain or blame others…They take FULL responsibility for their life, and they get FOCUSED on their goals. They MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, and DO NOT WAIT for things to happen to them!!! Go Develop the EXACT Life that YOU want!!!
Success Habit #6: COMMIT TO EXCELLENCE
The Successful Network Marketer is recognized as being in the TOP 10% of their chosen field. This means that they KNOW THEIR BUSINESS!!! YOU should learn ALL the in's & out's of YOUR chosen program. Commit to being in the TOP 10% of whatever program you are in, and you will see the money follow soon after.
Success Habit #5: Work-A-Holic
Did you know, The Successful Network Marketer works 59 hours per week on average. This is 24 hours MORE than the average person does. If a networker has a full time job, they still FIND the time to spend an average of 19 hours per week working their program, and soon that J.O.B. (Just Over Broke), is a thing of the past. The other key with having a work-a-holic mentality, is to: WORK, ALL THE TIME YOU WORK!!! Surfing on Facebook, or checking your email 15 times an hour, or browsing an online shoe store is NOT WORKING. Again, stay focused on your tasks at hand.
Success Habit #4: SPEND LESS THAN WHAT YOU MAKE
This one is pretty simple, but is rarely followed. It is imperative that you SAVE MONEY, and eventually have that MONEY work for you by earning compound interest. In order to SAVE MONEY, you MUST be spending LESS MONEY than what you earn. First get your monthly budget in order (You do have a monthly budget, right?), and then TRIM THE EXCESS Spending, or find ways to save money or cut expenses.
Success Habit #3: GET AROUND THE RIGHT PEOPLE
The Successful Network Marketer does NOT hang around people who make $10,000 a year. They hang around people who think & act like they do…They hang around OTHER successful people, and SO SHOULD YOU!!! What if you don't know any millionaires??? Well, they are ALL AROUND YOU…they are in things called: "BOOKS"…and they are giving their knowledge to you for FREE or CHEAP, and all you have to do is READ!!! What a DEAL!!!
Success Habit #2: GET AWAY FROM THE WRONG PEOPLE
YOU DO NOT have to listen to your uncle's 2nd cousin on his mom's side, who is CONVINCED YOUR "pyramid" will never work because he Just knows!! Get Away, and Stay away from these NEGATIVE influences. Treat these negative people as you would treat the BLACK PLAGUE, because that is what they are. A negative attitude is ALWAYS self-fulfilling, and is the QUICKEST way to FAILURE!!!
Success Habit #1: ACHIEVE RESULTS
Be sure to focus on the things that ACHIEVE RESULTS!!! In networking you should focus on SALES & Lead Generation 80% of the time. If the things YOU do are NOT achieving results: CHANGE the things you are doing! Make Course Corrections, and always have your END GOAL in mind. Focus on "Sales Techniques & Lead Generations Techniques" that are working, and drop the ones that are NOT working for you.
Thanks for reading this eReport. I hope you put these Habits to use, and I'm sure you'll start seeing some great results, shortly!!!
MARK THIS DATE DOWN, as THE DAY YOU Started On YOUR Future!!!

Looking for Kata 3N1-33
Does anyone know of a store in Melbourne with this bag?
Or does anyone here have one of these I could look at?
The distributor can't tell me which stockists have this particular bag.
Re: Looking for Kata 3N1-33
Vanbar apparently has one but they couldn't find it today. I did get to look at the 3N1-30 (no laptop compartment).
They're finding the 3N1-33 and ordering in a LowePro Classified Sling 220AW so I can go in and try them out side-by-side.
Re: Looking for Kata 3N1-33
I recently bought the 30 for my Antarctic trip and it's the best bag for build quality and functionality I've ever had (my previous bag was a slingshot 200). I think you'll love the 33 when you see it.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about anything.

Keep on fighting until there is a cure
It happens too frequently, right here in our communities.
We see it in the collection cans at local stores, where we can donate money to help children battling cancer.
We see it in newspaper stories about fundraising events to help their families.
And we see it in obituaries of children whose lives were cut short by cancer.
There are at least 1,250 of them, all less than 15 years of age, every year in our country.
Last month, President Donald Trump signed into law the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access and Research Act.
It was co-sponsored by U.S. Sens. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and Jack Reed, D-R.I.
The STAR Act provides new federal resources for pediatric cancer research, improving treatment and helping childhood cancer survivors.
Thank you, Sens. Capito and Reed.
And please, if other steps could be taken with our tax dollars to help children survive cancer, do not hesitate to follow up on the STAR Act.

- Diesel (1)
- Epidemiology (1)
- Lung cancer (1)
- Meta-analysis (1)
- Diesel engine exhaust and lung cancer risks – evaluation of the meta-analysis by Vermeulen et al. 2014 (2015)
- BACKGROUND: Vermeulen et al. 2014 published a meta-regression analysis of three relevant epidemiological US studies (Steenland et al. 1998, Garshick et al. 2012, Silverman et al. 2012) that estimated the association between occupational diesel engine exhaust (DEE) exposure and lung cancer mortality. The DEE exposure was measured as cumulative exposure to estimated respirable elemental carbon in μg/m(3)-years. Vermeulen et al. 2014 found a statistically significant dose-response association and described elevated lung cancer risks even at very low exposures. METHODS: We performed an extended re-analysis using different modelling approaches (fixed and random effects regression analyses, Greenland/Longnecker method) and explored the impact of varying input data (modified coefficients of Garshick et al. 2012, results from Crump et al. 2015 replacing Silverman et al. 2012, modified analysis of Moehner et al. 2013). RESULTS: We reproduced the individual and main meta-analytical results of Vermeulen et al. 2014. However, our analysis demonstrated a heterogeneity of the baseline relative risk levels between the three studies. This heterogeneity was reduced after the coefficients of Garshick et al. 2012 were modified while the dose coefficient dropped by an order of magnitude for this study and was far from being significant (P = 0.6). A (non-significant) threshold estimate for the cumulative DEE exposure was found at 150 μg/m(3)-years when extending the meta-analyses of the three studies by hockey-stick regression modelling (including the modified coefficients for Garshick et al. 2012). The data used by Vermeulen and colleagues led to the highest relative risk estimate across all sensitivity analyses performed. The lowest relative risk estimate was found after exclusion of the explorative study by Steenland et al. 1998 in a meta-regression analysis of Garshick et al. 2012 (modified), Silverman et al. 2012 (modified according to Crump et al. 2015) and Möhner et al. 2013. The meta-coefficient was estimated to be about 10-20 % of the main effect estimate in Vermeulen et al. 2014 in this analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of Vermeulen et al. 2014 should not be used without reservations in any risk assessments. This is particularly true for the low end of the exposure scale.
- Mobile air quality studies (MAQS) in inner cities: particulate matter PM10 levels related to different vehicle driving modes and integration of data into a geographical information program (2012)
- ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Particulate matter (PM) is assumed to exert a major burden on public health. Most studies that address levels of PM use stationary measure systems. By contrast, only few studies measure PM concentrations under mobile conditions to analyze individual exposure situations. METHODS: By combining spatial-temporal analysis with a novel vehicle-mounted sensor system, the present Mobile Air Quality Study (MAQS) aimed to analyse effects of different driving conditions in a convertible vehicle. PM10 was continuously monitored in a convertible car, driven with roof open, roof closed, but windows open, or windows closed. RESULTS: PM10 values inside the car were nearly always higher with open roof than with roof and windows closed, whereas no difference was seen with open or closed windows. During the day PM10 values varied with high values before noon, and occasional high median values or standard deviation values due to individual factors. Vehicle speed in itself did not influence the mean value of PM10; however, at traffic speed (10 -- 50 km/h) the standard deviation was large. No systematic difference was seen between PM10 values in stationary and mobile cars, nor was any PM10 difference observed between driving within or outside an environmental (low emission) zone. CONCLUSIONS: he present study has shown the feasibility of mobile PM analysis in vehicles. Individual exposure of the occupants varies depending on factors like time of day as well as ventilation of the car; other specific factors are clearly identifiably and may relate to specific PM10 sources. This system may be used to monitor individual exposure ranges and provide recommendations for preventive measurements. Although differences in PM10 levels were found under certain ventilation conditions, these differences likely are not of concern for the safety and health of passengers.
- The impact of shift work induced chronic circadian disruption on IL-6 and TNF-α immune responses (2010)
- Aim: Sleep disturbances induce proinflammatory immune responses, which might increase cardiovascular disease risk. So far the effects of acute sleep deprivation and chronic sleep illnesses on the immune system have been investigated. The particular impact of shift work induced chronic circadian disruption on specific immune responses has not been addressed so far. Methods: Pittsburgh-Sleep-Quality-Index (PSQI) questionnaire and blood sampling was performed by 225 shift workers and 137 daytime workers. As possible markers the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha and lymphocyte cell count were investigated. A medical examination was performed and biometrical data including age, gender, height, weight, waist and hip circumference and smoking habits were collected by a structured interview. Results: Shift workers had a significantly higher mean PSQI score than day workers (6.73 vs. 4.66; p < 0.001). Day workers and shift workers had similar serum levels of IL-6 (2.30 vs. 2.67 resp.; p = 0.276), TNF-alpha (5.58 vs. 5.68, resp.; p = 0.841) or lymphocytes count (33.68 vs. 32.99, resp.; p = 0.404). Furthermore there were no differences in cytokine levels (IL-6 p = 0.761; TNF-alpha p = 0.759) or lymphocyte count (p = 0.593) comparing the sleep quality within the cohorts. When this calculation of sleep quality was stratified by shift and day workers irrespective of their sleep quality day workers and shift workers had similar serum levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha or lymphocytes count. Multiple linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation of lymphocytes count and smoking habits. Conclusion: Shift work induces chronic sleep debt. Our data reveals that chronic sleep debt might not always lead to an activation of the immune system, as we did not observe differences in lymphocyte count or level of IL-6 or TNF-alpha serum concentration between shift workers and day workers. Therefore chronic sleep restriction might be eased by a long-term compensating immune regulation which (in healthy) protects against an overstimulation of proinflammatory immune mechanisms and moderates metabolic changes, as they are known from short-term sleep deprivation or sleep related breathing disorders.
- Development and evaluation of a computer-based medical work assessment programme (2008)
- Background: There are several ways to conduct a job task analysis in medical work environments including pencil-paper observations, interviews and questionnaires. However these methods implicate bias problems such as high inter-individual deviations and risks of misjudgement. Computer-based observation helps to reduce these problems. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the development process of a computer-based job task analysis instrument for real-time observations to quantify the job tasks performed by physicians working in different medical settings. In addition reliability and validity data of this instrument will be demonstrated. Methods: This instrument was developed in consequential steps. First, lists comprising tasks performed by physicians in different care settings were classified. Afterwards content validity of task lists was proved. After establishing the final task categories, computer software was programmed and implemented in a mobile personal computer. At least inter-observer reliability was evaluated. Two trained observers recorded simultaneously tasks of the same physician. Results: Content validity of the task lists was confirmed by observations and experienced specialists of each medical area. Development process of the job task analysis instrument was completed successfully. Simultaneous records showed adequate interrater reliability. Conclusion: Initial results of this analysis supported the validity and reliability of this developed method for assessing physicians' working routines as well as organizational context factors. Based on results using this method, possible improvements for health professionals' work organisation can be identified.
