'SNAKES AND LADDERS' BOARD GAME: The children's favourite.
True to its origins, this particular edition of Snakes And Ladders focuses on morality - or lack of - and the consequences thereof. For example, land on square 4 (meekness) and ascend the ladder to square 14 (knowledge); but land on square 56 (vanity) and descend the snake to sqaure 53 (lonliness). The game is complete and in very good condition. The box, which shows some signs of storage wear, is sturdy and clean with each and every corner fully intact without any use of sellotape. The game contains its original counters and die and the game board, which is poigniantly illustrated, presents itself in immaculate condition.
For 2 - 6 players.

In this webinar, field experts share their experiences implementing the use of the assessment tool and the benefits it has yielded for their shelters in support of the overall goal of ending homelessness among families.
The Early Childhood Self-Assessment Tool for Family Shelters, developed by the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is intended to help shelter staff ensure their facilities are safe and appropriate for the development of young children. Family shelters provide essential services to the entire family - including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers during a difficult time in their lives. As you work to connect families to permanent housing, you can ensure that your shelter environment assists the physical, socio-emotional, nutritional, and intellectual development of children ages 0-5 to support these children through their experience of homelessness. Creating a safe, developmentally appropriate environment will assure that the infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in your shelter have the best possible start to a bright future as they exit homelessness into permanent housing.
To support the use of the tool, USICH hosted a webinar—The Early Childhood Assessment Tool for Shelters: Success in Practice—on Thursday, May 21, 2015. In addition to leaders from HHS and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, community presenters from housing and early childhood highlighted their experiences with joint implementation of the assessment tool and the benefits it has yielded for their shelters in support of the overall goal of ending homelessness among families.

It's the holidays which means your furniture is at risk for the many bumps and bruises that come with having family over. If you are interested in hosting parties or events throughout the season you'll want to take the proper steps to protecting your furniture. Part of appreciating time with loved ones includes having meals, appetizers, and drinks; by properly treating and learning furniture care, you won't have to worry about accidental spills. Depending on the space you have to accomodate people, you shouldn't have to think about making your furniture off-limits for guests. Whether you have leather, metal, or wooden furniture, protecting and preventing damage is key to the longevity of your items. Even if accidents happen, your materials are in good hands with the following information:
From wood floors to dining room tables your wood is constantly being used for warm beverages, condensation-filled glasses, and slippery foot prints. Prolonged exposure to wetness can result in bloated materials or staining, which can be irreversible for your wooden products. Instead of using a scrubbing method, use a mild dish soap, a tiny bit of water, and a soft towel and lightly massage to remove any dirt or messes from the surface of your items. In addition, pick up some holiday coasters and table runners to further protect your furniture from the many glasses and plates your guests will place on your furniture. If you are interested in your products specific cleaning details, check out the the "care" directions it may offer on the furniture's website, like on Arhaus. This description can give you an even more in-depth look into your item's cleaning needs. In addition, check out your local homeware store for touch-up pens to use on any scratches your wooden products have accumulated.
Leather is one of the more expensive products to adjust and treat, but always worth the care after you have decided to make the purchase. Keep your items out of direct sunlight to avoid discoloration and fading. Often times pets nails and shoes can damaged the couch by adding rips, and indents; try to keep colored leather pens on hand to touch up imperfections, should any mishaps occur. This way, you can fill in the scratches for less of a cost than completely rebuying a couch; there's also ways to buff scratches out of furniture using a leather conditioner. Be sure to ask your furniture provider for the best leather treater for your individual item. Usually, before purchasing, the item should have an exact treatment guide with the type of leather to best clean the product. Much like wood, the material doesn't need to be scrubbed or use excess water to clean, just lightly wipe and spills with a mild soap and water to bring any stains out. Any additional protection should have a speciality leather cleaner that is designed solely for this material.
Your metal items are easy to lose track of and can result in chipping due to dust and moisture. By coating with a wax, and lightly dusting, you're able to keep track of your metal items without having to inspect them regularly. Knowing they are relinquished of their potential rusting properties, you can clean them as often as you want without excess damage. If you are unpacking holiday decor this year, be sure to treat your metal decor before you hang, and when you put away to keep its longevity for the next holiday season. Keeping updated on your metal is important, because once it begins to crack, it's a lot more difficult to repair than it is to keep it clean. Check out the items manual before doing any serious cleaning and touch-ups to ensure the product is safe for use.
You don't have to worry about your furniture this holiday season. Relax and enjoy delicious food with friends and family in every room, with fresh clean furniture, and a backup plan in case the party gets a little crazy! Refer to the infographics below for a better look into the ways to treat your favorite items.

This is Part I that I wrote earlier tonight. It's best to read Part I before reading Part II, but it's not necessary. I promise you I will return to the subject of my mojo by the end of this entry.
Another thing that came up in my last therapy session was how the hell am I going to be self-supporting? I talked about doing editing, which is fine. However, I'm not sure it's the only thing I want to be doing. She mentioned…first, a little background. I have a thing for bartender. I have no idea why this is, but it's become an inside joke with my friends. If I mention I find someone cute in a bar, my friend will inevitably say, "The bartender!" Anyway, my therapist and I were talking about my thought of being a barista/server ten years ago. She said, "You should bartend." I thought she was half-joking, but she really wasn't. She said my affinity for bartenders is what made her think of it, but then it actually made sense.
My immediate thought was, "I can't fucking do that." It was immediately followed by the thought, "Why not?" I confess that my immediate reaction had to do with the reaction I imagined from my parents if I told them my decision. However, this is something really common in families where someone wants to do something artistic for a living. Parents are rarely supportive of these endeavors for various reasons. My therapist pointed out that I had to reframe the issue from, "This work is beneath me (legacy from my family's class issues)" to "This is what people in my community do to make a living." It's true. Performers, artists, musicians, and writers alike have done mundane jobs in order to have a bit more freedom to pursue their creative projects.
I couldn't have been a server/barista ten years ago. I could be a bartender today. Plus, I hear the sexual shenanigans are pretty outrageous in certain bars. I would get hit on, and I would have to deal with that. I would get to hear people's lives stories (I tend to elicit that from people, anyway), which I could then harvest for my fiction. I could work nights and sleep days, which is my preferred sleep schedule, anyway. I don't drink much, so it wouldn't be a temptation in that way. I would have to deal with the noise factor, but that's what earplugs are for.
To my amazement, by the end of the session, I was actually seriously thinking about it. My best friend, Kiki, had mentioned the idea awhile back, semi-joking, but not really joking, either. It has a lot of merit.
Then, today, in Taiji, Choolie showed me a variety of ways to disable an opponent. Some were designed to maximize pain while minimizing actual damage, whereas others were designed to break a joint or kill. There is one set of techniques, called Chin Na, that I especially like because they involve very little effort to execute (though they take practice to learn correctly) and they exert an excruciating amount of pain. I know because Choolie did them on me (holding back, of course), and while I have a very high tolerance for pain until I actually feel it and then I'm a wimp, these were pretty effective in reaching past my pain threshold. The thing, though, that I realized about ten minutes into Choolie demonstrating the techniques on me is that while I could have withstood more pain before tapping out, there was no reason to do so. I mean, Choolie wasn't giving me gold stars for the amount of pain I could bear, so why try to be so macho? Because it's my way of operating. I had learned at an early age to turn off my pain receptors (or ignore them), which was good at the time, but ultimately detrimental to my health. Now, my ability and/or willingness to ignore pain has diminished, and not with much effort on my part. Plus, as I said, the Chin na techniques are designed to inflict a great deal of pain–so much that the only thing you can think is, "How the fuck can I stop this pain?" And, it's instantaneous. To paraphrase Choolie, Chin na is about dislocating someone's joint and then putting it back wrong.
She mixed in some Taiji, too. She taught me a drill that is designated to break someone's arm. We did it really slowly because the space between PAIN but essentially OK and broken arm is very small. If done correctly, it takes minimal effort to execute. And, yes, I giggled when she told me the application for the posture. For some reason, the nastier the application, the more I giggle. She says that's common, though, so I'm not too worried about it. In part, it's because I'm marveling at how easy it is to totally break a body. It's amazing, really.
Anyway, as we were practicing the drills, she told me that much of what she was teaching me wouldn't be allowed in tournaments. I asked why, and she said because she was teaching me street fighting–how to maim and/or kill. Tournaments were strictly for style points. Understandable, really, as it would be a major nightmare if someone got killed in a competition tournament. But, I had no interest in doing tournaments. When I walked into Choolie's class a little over two years ago, I had one goal: Learning to defend myself. The reason I chose Taiji is because it emphasized health as well as defense; I liked the integration of the two. Never once did I think that I would like to compete in a tournament.
Choolie also told me of a story with a black belt in karate who killed a guy in a bar fight. The judge gave him a stiffer sentence because a black belt in karate is taught how to control himself and to hold back when necessary. At first, I was a bit dismayed by the judge's ruling until Julie gave me a few more details of the case. In essence, the black belt killed someone in a situation where his life clearly wasn't in danger. He could have just as easily shut down the guy in other ways. This was an anathema to me because I would never think about using Taiji just to show off or be macho or anything like that. I wouldn't go looking for a fight, and I certainly wouldn't use it at any flimsy opportunity. For me, there would be only one reason I would ever use Taiji: Because my physical well-being was threatened, and I had no other recourse. In other words, it would be a last resort, and it would be me or him.
I still have trouble with that realization. I am a pacifist. An incredibly angry pacifist, but a pacifist, nonetheless. I am staunchly against war, and I don't enjoy any kind of physical altercation. OK. I have to amend that. Sports. That's my one hypocrisy, and I don't like the ultimate fighting sports. At any rate, I don't like violence. I don't like watching it, and I certainly do not want to participate in it. If someone was mugging me, I would give him my purse and be done with it. In the past, I thought I was one of those, "I would let someone kill me before I harmed him" kind of people. Two plus years of Taiji have made me realize that nothing could be further from the truth.
I have been the victim of sexual abuse twice–once as a child, and once as an adult. Neither was a one-time incident, and both have had devastating consequences on my psyche and my being. I am damaged in ways that may never be healed. I will never let that happen to me again. This is what Taiji has helped me realize. I will kill or be killed before allowing any man to do that to me again. And, I don't feel guilty about it (though, true to my nature, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty). I don't think I could survive another attack like that again, so frankly, I would rather die in an attempt to fight it then experience that particular horror yet again.
Do you know how hard it is for me to say that I would kill someone, no matter how extreme or theoretical? It completely changes my view of myself and the idea of who I am. This has happened a few times in the past year or so, and it's jolting to me each time. Something I thought was at the core of me–isn't. It's not true now, and it may never have been. And, per my mind, I am obsessing over what it says about me that I would have no qualms about killing someone who was attacking me.
So. This brings me back to my mojo as mentioned in the last entry. You thought I'd forgotten, didn't you? I don't blame you, but I didn't forget. I have two things to say about why I might not want to get my mojo back, one I just thought of as I was typing the last paragraph. I'll tell you the one I figured out earlier first.
I have absolutely no road map for my life now. Depression made everything comfortable, predictable, and ostensibly safe (though as I noted before, being safe without the possibility of joy is just another form of hell). I didn't like being depressed, but I knew who I was in the frame of that context. I have no fucking idea who I am now. And, the things I crave, a place of my own, self-sufficiency, a performing/writing career all seem like impossible goals to meet. It's gonna take a lot of fucking work, and as I have stated before, I am a lazy person at heart.
I feel lost right now, and I don't have the faith that I can do what needs to be done. That scares the fuck out of me. I hate trying and failing. I know nobody likes it, but I hate it to a pathological extent. I'm also feeling incredibly sad for the life I've wasted. I'm also physically incredibly drained.
This brings me to the second reason I'm not rushing to reclaim my mojo, the one I just thought of. My demons are back with a vengeance. They are pulling me into the abyss again. I am not far enough removed from the pit to be confident that I won't get permanently thrown down there again. I feel myself inexorably sliding in that direction, and I don't know how to stop it. And, this links to what I said earlier about kill or be killed. I don't know how to kill my demons–and I would rather die than go back to the abyss again. I remember all-too-well what it felt like being in there. I remember how worthless, ugly toxic, disgusting, shameful, grotesque, hideous, elephantine, stupid, and utterly pointless I felt I was. I can still feel with complete clarity the hopelessness I experienced while in the abyss.
As an aside, my mother has similar OCD tendencies as do I. I would watch her pretty much talk herself out of any right answer to a problem, and while I realized just how insane it is as I watched her do it, I can't recognize the same insanity when I do it myself. When I am in the pit, I shoot down any possible way of getting out of it. Therefore, even if it's only a foot or two deep, I will not pull myself out.
Right now, I am in the space where I can go either way. The demons are dragging me to the abyss. My loved ones are dragging me away from it. Unfortunately, the demons have the advantage because they live inside me and were spawned by me. They know me so intimately, and they are bringing out the heavy artillery. My friends have told me the demons are redoubling their efforts because they know they are losing me. While that may be true, the constant assault is having its effect on me.
I'm starting to listen to them again. I am starting to believe them when they tell me that I am fat and ugly and worthless and better off dead. The colors are leaching from my world again, little by little, and I hate it. With every step forward I take, they drag me back three. I'm finding living to be an effort again, just as it was in the lost years. I don't want to get out of bed even though my sleep is shittier than ever, and honestly, if I didn't have to take care of the cats, I would have given into the impulse by now. I am falling asleep as I drive, and I am having to put a huge effort into doing the little things. I find that I am still retreating into my shell even after my mom left to go back to Taiwan.
My mojo is gone; I have no idea how to get it back or if I even have the will to do so.

Am I a bull or a bear at this point? I actually have no idea. So far, today's traverse to higher highs in the SP500 makes me wrong - that I know. I thought we'd continue to make lower-highs in the SP500. On the margin, any close above the 934 line (January 6th closing high) will be a bullish US equity market factor...
If you're looking for the rest of the sobriety check, don't worry - the facts don't lie. The ISM number that was printed this morning for the month of May came in at 42.8 (see chart below). While that's the best number we have seen since September of 2008, it is still a lower-high. New orders actually accelerated to 51, which is the best report we've seen on that front since November of 2007 (everything that happened after that was just bad).
Can the ISM reading, consumer confidence, etc. charge higher yet again in June? For sure - but can these sentiment readings breakout to levels above the red line in this chart? Or will they fail? These are some of the questions that will dominate the debate in my head as to whether or not the SP500 can make a move beyond 991. The easy REFLATION money on the long side is 3-months behind us.

Children with Autism Who Live With Pets Are More Assertive
Dogs, cats and other animals may improve social skills of children with autism
Children with autism have stronger social skills when they live with a pet, an MU researcher found.

Story posted: Dec. 30, 2014
By: Fran Webber
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Dogs and other pets play an important role in individuals' social lives, and they can act as catalysts for social interaction, previous research has shown. Although much media attention has focused on how dogs can improve the social skills of children with autism, a University of Missouri researcher recently found that children with autism have stronger social skills when any kind of pet lived in the home.

WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama has spoken with the husband of British MP Jo Cox, who was brutally killed by a man described as a far-right loner, and condemned the "heinous crime" while offering condolences to him.
Obama telephoned Brendan Cox yesterday from Air Force One, the White House said.
"President Obama offered his sincere condolences on behalf of the American people to Mr Cox and his two young children, as well as to her friends, colleagues, and constituents," it said.
"The President noted that the world is a better place because of her selfless service to others and that there can be no justification for this heinous crime which robbed a family, a community and a nation of a dedicated wife, mother, and public servant," the White House said in a readout of the call.
41-year-old Cox, who was attacked on Thursday after a meeting with her constituents in Birstall, UK, was shot twice before falling to the ground where she was kicked and stabbed repeatedly.
She lay bleeding on the pavement by the time emergency services arrived.
Witnesses say she was shot a third time in the face and the suspect was trying to reload his antique-style weapon when another man tackled him.
The man suffered minor injuries and the suspect, who is said to have lunged at others who attempted to intervene, walked away from the scene shortly before being arrested.

Cross-border cooperation, a voice for local and regional authorities in Euro-Mediterranean relations
A report on cross-border cooperation was adopted today by ARLEM, the body of the European Committee of the Regions in charge of Euro-Mediterranean relations. The report focuses on the contribution of local and regional authorities to cooperation processes in a changing Mediterranean.
Since their launching under the European Neighbourhood Policy in 2007, cross-border cooperation programmes have played an important role in turning territorial needs into tangible initiatives implemented in response to shared challenges, including among others inclusive and sustainable development, job creation and climate change.
The participation of local and regional authorities (LRAs) in cross-border cooperation programmes has been significant, LRAs representing for instance almost 20% of the actors involved in the 2007-2013 ENPI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme.
How to build on this momentum and reinforce the ownership of cross-border cooperation programmes by LRAs, ensuring that funded projects address priority issues for territorial development and provide tangible solutions to citizens' everyday problems?
These questions are central to a new report, drafted by the President of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia Francesco Pigliaru, and adopted during the 8th plenary session of the "Euro-Mediterranean Regional and Local Assembly" (ARLEM), which was held on 22-23 February 2017 in Malta*, as part of the Maltese Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Within the European Committee of the Regions, ARLEM aims to foster a direct dialogue between Mediterranean elected representatives and the European Union as well as to promote interregional cooperation.
The report was designed following consultations with ARLEM members, EU institutions, Ministries, networks, civil society organizations and managing authorities of cross-border cooperation programmes.
While analyzing the recent political transformations in the Mediterranean and the most crucial issues the area is facing – political tensions, conflicts, economic instability, migration flows, youth unemployment, environmental degradation – the report highlights the capacity of LRAs to transform challenges into opportunities by "reinforcing cooperation and working on innovative and shared solutions and approaches to sustainable and inclusive development".
In addition, the report examines the results achieved by different types cross-border programmes, including IPA II (dedicated to Eastern Mediterranean countries that are candidates or potential candidates for EU accession), Interreg V-A and ENPI CBC. While characterized by distinct policy objectives and geographical contexts, the report acknowledges that the participation of LRAs is "key to the successful implementation of cross-border programmes."
Regarding the ENPI CBC Med Programme – the largest Mediterranean multilateral initiative funded by the EU in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy - the report says that, despite being a first experience of cross-border cooperation also involving LRAs from both Member States and Partner Countries, the joint actions undertaken "could impact upon and influence Mediterranean policies".
ENI CBC Med, the second generation of the Programme, has the ambition to foster deep cooperation among Ministries, LRAs, universities, the private sector, and the civil society in view of addressing key economic, social and environmental challenges of the Mediterranean area. The Programme will continue to be managed of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.
Read the report "Cross-border cooperation in the Mediterranean region" (draft version)
* Mr. Pigliaru was represented by Mr. Vincenzo Bianco, mayor of Catania and head of the Italian delegation at the Committee of the Regions, for the presentation of the report at the ARLEM plenary session.

It's always so fun to hear the comments from the students about his non-objective grid-like artwork. Common themes I hear: buildings, streets, maps...you name it! I changed up the lesson a bit this year and I think it worked with greater ease. After dissecting his art, we had the criteria to use a least 4 lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal and broken) and all the primary colors. Here's what our mini masters created:

Among the Living (1941)
"For five thousand dollars, I'm not afraid of anything — not even death!"
Response to Peary's Review:
Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
Must See?
Posted on July 5th, 2006 by admin
Filed under: Response Reviews
One Response to "Among the Living (1941)"
First viewing. Agreed – not a must, though it is a compact and atmospheric thriller, well directed by Stuart Heisler. Heisler spent years as an editor before becoming a director — the cutting here is very efficient, esp. the sequence in which Dekker (as the insane brother) is overwhelmed by frenetic activity in a bar. Not a major director, Heisler went on to helm some interesting films, like "The Glass Key', "Storm Warning' and "The Star'.
Solid, if not more, performances are turned in by Dekker, Hayward and Harry Carey as the doc. But real film buffs may take the most interest in Frances Farmer – even though she has a small role, she has real presence. Supposedly, this is the kind of insignificant part she was "punished' with later for opting to spend time in New York working in the theater. Fans of the Jessica Lange film "Frances' will want to check this out.
Best dialogue bit is with the "insane' Dekker and a bar girl, after he naively continues to praise Hayward's beauty in front of her:
Girl: "Well, thanks for the drink. Bring Millie in sometime and we'll all go over to my place and bake a cake."
Dekker: "Oh, I'd like that!"
Girl: "Don't be a dope."

February is the official month of love and love surely makes our world go round. And if you have decided to tie the knot this month, it demands a bit of extra lavish. A Valentine bride looks extra radiant, extra vivacious and you can blame it on the touch of love in the air. The wedding trousseau of the bride will definitely contain certain essentials and we will list them for you.
Move over Western wear and embrace the sensuous saree; let the red or the pink saree do the talking. A fluid, flowy drape like a georgette or chiffon is almost a mandate for that special date night before the wedding. And to add to the chic quotient of the saree, give it a caped look. Florals are back in fashion big time, so if you are looking for inspirations, take a hint from the blushing blooms in the sarees.
A cocktail party would be incomplete without a fashion fiesta, and if you are the bride you have every right to outshine everyone. Those who do not want to go Indian all the way, but still want to retain the enticing ethnic charm, can go half-way and opt for the Indo-western or fusion wear. Choose a lehenga gown for instance; it is vibrant and befits the occasion.
There is probably no girl who is not fond of the colour red. If you think, that wearing a red dress would be too cliché, you can always innovate and include a touch of red in your ensemble. Let us tell you how. Choose a red lipstick which complements your skin tone and the outfit. The overall face make up should be lighter as your red lips should have prominence. And if you have opted for a different coloured lehenga or a saree for the D-day, why not get a red anarkali for sangeet? And if Valentine's Day comes just after your marriage, wearing a red anarkali to depict post-marriage Valentine love is not a bad idea at all.
For a reception, try to find something simple yet classy. How about pairing up the shararas with a well-fitted long kurta? This gives you an ease of movement; mingle with your guests without a glitch. Plus, this looks smart and you can still remain the radiant diva bride that you are!

Karen Organization of Minnesota Open House0
Open House scheduled for March 31, 2015, from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (March 23, 2015) — The Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM) is opening its doors to welcome the public, clients, partners, and supporters to its new location with an open house on March 31, 2015 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at 2353 Rice Street Suite 240, Roseville, Minnesota 55113.
The open house will provide an opportunity to gather old friends and partners of the organization and to introduce KOM to the new community in Roseville.
"Please join us as we celebrate the next chapter for our organization and the clients we serve" said KOM Executive Director Chong Bee Vang. "We are grateful to be welcomed into the community in Roseville and look forward to building many strong and lasting relationships here."
The event will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce with Roseville Mayor Dan Roe will also be in attendance. A Karen drum and horn performance will follow with remarks from Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce President Matt Kramer, Mayor Roe and community leaders within KOM and the Karen community.
Following the ceremony, KOM will invite guests to tour the new office building and speak to staff about KOM's programs and services. Light refreshments will be provided. All are welcome to attend.
The mission of the Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM) is to enhance the quality of life for all refugees from Burma in Minnesota. To fulfill this mission, KOM helps more than 1,000 refugees per year settle, integrate, and become independent in their new home through one or more of its main programs: Employment Services, Social Services, Housing, Community Health, Life Skills Education, and Youth Academic and Social Support. The organization received its 501(c)3 non-profit status in December of 2008. Since opening its first office in St. Paul in 2009, the organization has grown rapidly to 20 staff, most of whom are former refugees from Burma.
The Karen are an indigenous ethnic minority group from the mountainous regions of Burma and Thailand where they constitute the second largest ethnic group in each country. The Karen continue to be persecuted by the Burmese military junta, who have conducted acts of genocide against the Karen people for over half a century. Currently, the St. Paul area is home over 8,000 refugees from Burma, making it the largest Karen community in the country.

Siemen's £30 million Royal Docks pavilion designed by Wilkinson Eyre and Pringle Brandon Perkins+Will will welcome the public in September after failing to open in time for the Olympics
The high-profile east London sustainability centre was planned to open to visitors earlier this year but it has so far only been accessible for people on guided tours and for city delegations.
The building will now officially open to the public on 24 September.
A spokesperson for Siemens blamed ground contamination on the site and the harsh winter of 2010 to 2011 for 'unforeseen circumstances' leading to the schedule being revised.
They said: 'In spite of this, the construction period at the Crystal – from January 2011 to June 2012 – has been one of the fastest in London in recent years for a project of this complexity.'
The 7,000m² pavilion – featuring an exhibition space, offices and conference facilities – is a flagship development within the Mayor's Green Enterprise District at the Royal Docks, an area expected to become a hub for green industries.
The later than planned opening marks another set back for the 125-hectare Royal Docks enterprise district which was expected to cash-in on the Olympics buzz.
Recently one of the area's competition-winning meanwhile uses was forced into administration and another close its doors due to lower-than-expected footfall during the games.
Wilkinson Eyre designed the building's shell and core while Pringle Brandon Perkins+Will was lead design consultant and interior architect. Event designed the interior exhibition which is planned to open in the Autumn.

Last weekend Melissa rocked it in Philly at the Philadelphia Rock & Roll Half Marathon. She's in the thick of training for her marathon, but came down to the city to put together a great pre-marathon hard effort.
Our goal for the race was to run smart, practice nutrition & fueling for 26.2, and work on pacing efforts. This was done to perfection as we both believe that she's primed for a great Chicago Marathon in just a few weeks.
This is what she wrote in her dailymile post:
"I didn't have any major time goals for this race – but my pacing strategy was to run by feel. 75% for the first four miles, 85% for the next seven, and to pick it up and run 95% for the last mile and a half. I covered my watch and felt great for most of the run. Water/gatorade stops absolutely slowed me down. Splits don't reflect that I was running by feel (so thank goodness my watch was covered!) – and are eerily consistent, except for miles 11 and 12.All in all, it was a great day for a run and I'm starting to feel a little more confident for my marathon (in less than a month – eeeek!)Splits: 9:45, 9:42, 9:50, 9:47, 9:57, 9:49, 9:48, 9:35, 9:58, 9:45, 9:48, 10:19, 10:15, 9:19."
Way to go Melissa! Can't wait to see how your last month of training gets your ready for Chicago!

Delight as old medal is returned to family
A century plus old Leinster hurling medal has been returned to a grateful Kilkenny family after a lengthy travel to far off place.
A 1909 Leinster senior hurling championship medal was in the care of the Newport family, Fethard, for many years and it was recently returned to the winner's family.
The noble gesture was made by Tony Newport from Fethard. The medal was won by the legendary Dan Kennedy, an icon of Tullaroan and Kilkenny hurling in his day.
Dan Kennedy gave the medal to Tony's aunt, Ms Monica Kenrick Sharp, who died 1962. Returning to her native Fethard following a 40 year nursing career in England, Monica gave the medal to Tony with the request: "I want you to look after this for me."
Tony was delighted to do just that, but he always felt the medal belonged in another place, namely Tullaroan and Kilkenny.
Thinking it was about time he went with his deep down feelings, he made a few enquiries and discovered that Ms Fidelma Boyle, now living in Derry, was Dan Kennedy's nearest living relative.
While visiting her native Kilkenny at the end of May, Tony arranged to meet Fidelma and to her delight he presented her with the medal in the Marble City.
She became quite emotional after receiving the medal, bearing in mind its serious history. She said she would cherish and treasure the medal and in due course would pass it on to her children and grandchildren.

A MAJOR political upset could be on the cards in General Election 2016 in Clare should the results of a Clare Champion-commissioned opinion poll be replicated on February 26. Using a sample ballot paper, the poll, undertaken by the marketing department at Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT), indicates that Independent candidate Dr Michael Harty and Sinn Féin's Noeleen Moran are poised to take seats, at the expense of sitting TDs, Joe Carey of Fine Gael and Labour's Michael McNamara. Fianna Fáil's Timmy Dooley and Fine Gael's Pat Breen are effectively home and dry. With national polls indicating that the outcome of General Election 2016 is poised delicately in the balance, the Clare result could be a major contributory factor in determining the shape of the next government in the 32nd Dáil. The closeness of the contest at national level has been heightened by the reduction in the number of seats by eight to 158. Conducted last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, …Read More »

It all started out so good – just like a good starter should do. My cousin and her husband who were visiting Dublin had invited me to dinner and, going on previous experiences, a night out with these folks and some other relationships was always worthwhile. Plenty of chat, food, drinks and no end of rib tickling stories would ensure all had a great time. It was all good fun until something got stuck in my throat, and it didn't want to budge. I did as much as I could to help the offending morsel on its way south, but all to no avail. I was stuck, just like the little blighter that ruined my evening. Later, after an uncomfortable few hours in bed, wondering if something really serious had happened to me, I finally collapsed into the arms of Morpheus, exhausted.
In the morning when I tried to have a bowl of cereal I realised that my situation was unchanged. I was nervous and felt my heart beat a little faster. As I sat at the table I began to think about something other than my discomfort hoping that a muscle might relax and rid me of the blockage. It was useless, and soon I was unable to swallow water. I was desperate, and knew that I had to visit the local hospital.
The Accident & Emergency area in the hospital was busy when I arrived and took a seat at the back of the room. People of all ages and sizes sat close together expressing their varying degrees of pain in sounds that grew all too familiar. It was not a happy place but definitely better than where they were before. Groans, coughs and the trilling of mobile phones filled the room while the crowd shifted as patients were called. Unfortunately, due to a full room and two motor accident victims being brought in, I waited all night before being seen. It was a real drag, but when I compared my situation with others about me, I exhaled slowly and turned the page of the book that I was reading.
Finally I was examined by a doctor who looked about as tired as I felt. After an x-ray indicated that I indeed did have a foreign body within he scheduled a full test for later in the day. I thanked him and snuggled down in a corner chair and grabbed a few hours of needy sleep.
Just before midday the doctor returned and told me what was going to happen.
I managed a painful gulp but still nothing moved.
The doctor said that I was about to have an endoscopic investigation, and stories from friends who had had a similar examination came flooding back. They had all disliked the experience, and I went anxiously with the porter along white corridors to my appointment. He made some small talk as we walked, doing his best to ease my worried mind.
There were at least six people waiting or preparing equipment when I entered the theatre, and took off my jacket.
'Just lie down here, please,' the doctor said, indicating the bed around which the others, who were dressed in green garb, moved with purpose. I noted flashing lights on a tall machine from which a long, black cable that seemed to go on forever, spiralled. Jeez, he's not planning to stick that thing into my mouth, I thought, a quiver of apprehension running up my spine. It was another uncomfortable moment, but there was no going back.
This was my first time ever to visit a hospital as a patient and the quiet reassurance of those green-garbed professionals was a big help. They explained the procedure and after a few deep breaths the doctor got the show on the road. With my teeth biting into a hard circular ring the doctor said those fateful words that are usually heard in a dentist's surgery.
'Open wide,' he said and there followed the first tickling at the back of my throat. It felt horrible as he probed about and I didn't help matters by gagging noisily in response. Finally after a couple of attempts the black tube slipped past my tongue and descended into the bowels of my inner self. I thought that I was in Alien and expecting a monster to burst from my stomach at any moment. I could feel something moving about inside me before my breathing levelled out to something manageable.
'You're doing fine,' a voice said gently as a tear was wiped from my eye.
The doctor probed away and assessed his work on the attached monitor. He jiggled the tube up and down before the image on screen drew a sharp breath. 'Wow, now that's what I call a foreign body,' he exclaimed as others leaned closer for a better look.
'What's that?' asked someone.
'A piece of stir fry beef, I believe,' said the doctor holding his hand steady and clicking a photograph of the obstruction.
One wag's quip 'More like won't-stir fry,' brought a fit of laughter to the room. I appreciated the sharp comment and gagged a response. I must remember that, I thought, just before I was given an injection and passed out almost immediately.
I woke hours later in a strange bed but thankfully rid of a certain, unwanted morsel. I stayed in bed overnight, before being released with a clean bill of health. And a photo of the dark, beefy obstruction. The doctor told me in no uncertain terms to steer clear of that type of food. 'It's not good for you.'
'Steer or stir?' I asked, and this time I was able to share the laugh.

Nicolas Ghesquière, creative director of the french fashion kingpin, Balenciaga, confirmed his plans for a U.S. push by hiring a new communications consultant dedicated for the Americas, Katherine Ross.
The relationship is a new one, with the two discussing a broad scope for tapping into the important U.S. market, according to WWD. "I'm questioning if there is a new way of communicating about a fashion brand," Ghesquière told the trade daily. "It could be an art proposal, it could be a movie."
And it could also, according to the report, mean a Balenciaga runway show during New York Fashion Week -- a symbolic gesture if it were to occur, given the house's historic exclusivity to Paris.
In the meantime, the brand's retail presence has been expanding along the west coast, and Ghesquière told WWD he's also scouting a second location in Manhattan.

Hey bunnies! I hope those of you in the US had a great 4th, and the rest of you had a great Tuesday! This picture is a little outside of my normal photos, but I couldn't resist the butt gems!
If you haven't been to N21 yet, you need to hurry up and get out there to shop! Astralia has this adorable Diamond Booty Bikini and I just find it so fun! The bikini itself is super cute, but the addition of the gems really makes it special! You have the option of NOT wearing the gems, by the way, if you don't want a sparkly bottom.
Happy shopping!

NEW! Standards & GuidanceTranslations
In his blog, IIA President and CEO Richard Chambers, CIA, QIAL, CGAP, CCSA, CRMA, shares his personal reflections and insights on the internal audit profession. Here's an excerpt from his latest post:
Every profession has its ups and downs, and internal audit is certainly no exception. In fact, some of the most awkward and, yes, even painful moments can occur when we need to deliver bad news to good people. And, if these moments are difficult for internal auditors, rest assured they are even more distressing for our clients.
Like it or not, there are times when, based on our audit results, we have to tell clients things they don't want to hear. It's never easy, for example, to tell someone that the audit results were "unsatisfactory." It's even harder to tell a colleague that you found a major fraud in their division, especially one that involved once-trusted employees or that had devastating financial consequences.
But for internal auditors, delivering difficult news is part of the job, and it's a responsibility we shouldn't avoid simply because of uneasiness. As Sophocles said more than 2,000 years ago, "No one loves the messenger who brings bad news." But being the bearer of bad news doesn't necessarily have to derail internal auditors' relationships with their clients. There are right ways and wrong ways to deliver bad news, and how we do it can preserve or even strengthen client relationships — not end them. Our words can soften the blow or add insult to injury, impacting our audit effectiveness as well as our stress levels. That's why every internal auditor needs to learn to deliver bad news like a pro.

Supplemental iron is unnecessary for most adult men and women and may be potentially harmful, as excessive amounts have been associated with heart disease, arthritis, and cellular damage. Copper is included because of its importance for SOD antioxidant enzyme activity and to maintain a healthy balance with zinc. Vcaps™ vegetarian capsules made of plant cellulose are used for MultiThera 1™ and all other encapsulated ProThera products. MultiThera 1™ Capsule Formula is well-suited for those who prefer capsules or have difficulty swallowing, as the capsules may be pulled apart and the contents mixed with food if desired.
MultiThera™ multiple vitamin and mineral supplements are full-spectrum formulas containing:
More complete "families" of nutrients for natural balance and safety
- 100% natural vitamin E complex, including all mixed tocopherol isomers (d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma, and d-delta), provides broader antioxidant protection
- Both preformed, natural-source vitamin A (retinol) and its carotene precursor extend more complete vitamin A nutrition
- All-natural mixed carotenoids, including alpha and beta carotenes, lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin offer more diverse benefit and are safer than synthetic beta-carotene alone
- Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) are included to support both blood coagulation and bone metabolism
- Complete vitamin B-complex supports many metabolic functions and includes significant amounts of B-vitamins most crucial to avoiding toxic build-up of homocysteine
Activated folate and vitamin B12 for highest absorption and bioavailability
- L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) and folinic acid, the active forms of folate, unlike folic acid, are absorbed and utilized directly and are the most beneficial forms for patients with elevated homocysteine resulting from compromised utilization of folate
- Methylcobalamin and S-adenosylcobalamin, the active forms of vitamin B12, are the most reliable oral forms of this difficult-to-absorb nutrient
Extra vitamin D3 to optimize daily intake for broad physiological benefit
- Natural vitamin D3 is included at 800 IU daily, a higher amount than typically found in daily multivitamins, to help achieve optimal intakes now recognized to support bone health as well as its numerous roles in tissues throughout the body
Mineral and trace element compounds with validated bioavailability
- True amino acid chelates from Albion Laboratories are fully-reacted, low molecular weight mineral compounds with exceptional tolerance and documented bioavailability
- Calcium citrate-malate is a well-studied calcium compound with higher absorption and effectiveness than many other calcium sources
- Organically-bound chromium and vanadium complexes offer high physiological activity

Recommended Use
1-5 capsules daily. Consume with food or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition. Vitamin D supports cardiovascular function in some individuals, which may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or possibly by helping to maintain healthy plasma renin function. A role for vitamin D in supporting colon health by promoting healthy cellular function has also been suggested. Furthermore, vitamin D is believed to provide general cellular support potential, including for the breast and prostate, in part by helping to maintain healthy angiogenesis balance, supporting immune cell activity, and maintaining healthy cell metabolism. Vitamin D's role in immune health has long been established; vitamin D receptors are found on a number of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages, supporting healthy immune cell activation.

It has been so disgusting to watch the liars in the Jew spew media across this planet put out bullshit reports that Bashar al-Assad is a "butcher" against his own people, or that he has "gassed" his people as well.. Those reports have all been proven false, and yet these portrayals are continuing... Yes, the Jew spew media is indeed working on trying to brainwash people, and luckily the propaganda has so far failed...
Just last week, the liars in the Jew spew media and the criminals in our own governments tried another approach in their falsehoods about the situation in Syria.... They promoted the lie that Bashar al-Assad's forces were "laying siege" to a village called Madaya, and that the villagers were in fact "starving to death" due to the "criminal actions" of the Syrian government forces.... But clear evidence has surfaced that the good guys, the government forces, were absolutely NOT starving these villagers, and if anything the brutalities on the villagers were being done by the so called "rebel" forces! Yes, the truth has indeed been much different than what the Jew spew media has promoted...
But something occurred that I found disgusting and shows again that even here in Canada, the Jew spew media has indeed been working on the Canadian public in the vain attempt to get Canada to support the lie that 'intervention' into Syria is required... And right now, I want to turn to the following report that comes from a true Canadian truth seeker, Greencrow, who of course writes "Greencrow As The Crow Flies" at www.greencrowasthecrowflies.blogspot.com... This article, that I have right here for all to see for themselves is entitled: "CBC Caught Lying Again..This Time About Starving Villagers Held Seige In Syria" and is a must read by everyone, especially my fellow Canadians....I have my own thoughts and comments to follow:
Tuesday, January 12, 2016
CBC caught lying again...This time about Starving Villagers Held Siege in Syria
Fake Photo of Starving Syrian published by CBC Without Verification
No real verification or citation of this image of the starving man was provided by the CBC or the SOHR, so we can assume then that this photo was one of many fakes which have also appeared in a number of western mainstream media outlets, and all promoting the same familiar western pro-war and pro-regime change propaganda lines.
I've written many times on this blog about the main$tream media's systematic and programmed lying to the public on behalf of the globalist, zio-fascist criminal cabal. Mainly, I focus on the BBC ("Biggest and Best Calumny") because it seems to be the hub or source of most of the lies.
Today, we have an honourable citizen in Canada writing to the CBC ombudsman because they can no longer tolerate the lies coming from the CBC "Canada's Best Calumny". Here is the letter to the CBC in full... which I sourced from David Icke's excellent website. He found it on 21stcenturywire.com. Read the letter to the CBC Ombudsman...and I will have my comments to follow:
Vanessa Beeley 21st Century Wire
The following is a letter written to the CBC ombudsman by an informed member of the public in Canada, enraged by the blatant anti-Syrian stance in the CBC reporting of the Madaya "starvation" situation. It reads as follows:
I have counted The Current and CBC news as among the most reliable sources of news and information we have. I consider myself an informed listener and I consult with many and diverse news sources to get the fullest and clearest understanding of world affairs possible. That's why it is disappointing, and sometimes infuriating when I hear the CBC reduced to an echo chamber and propaganda conveyance when it comes to news from the Middle East.
The CBC's use of unreliable and unverified sources and information that presents and thus promotes only one side of events, and a distorted one at that, is shocking to me. Is it due to cutbacks that you are unable to have investigative reporting from conflict areas that reports on all sides of an event, or is there something more sinister going on exercising editorial control over what Canadians are allowed to hear from the Middle East via our national broadcaster?
Specifically, I was very upset to hear The Current's Jan 8th report with Lyse Doucet on the situation in Madaya, Syria that gave a completely distorted and misinformed picture of the siege of this town (and several others that are getting zero news coverage).The presenter relied on only one source, a citizen journalist named Rami Jarrah who works for the George Soros funded ANA Press, and is a self-avowed advocate and spokesperson for the terrorist factions, disingenuously called "the opposition" by uncritical media, that has the town of Madaya and several others in the West and North of Syria under militant siege.
It is these Islamist militants–Ahrar al Sham and al Qaeda– that seized the food aid delivered by the ICRC last October–meant to last for 2 months–and is keeping the towns people on starvation rations, stockpiling the food then trying to sell it to the towns people for obscene prices. Why isn't that being reported on? It is the militants that are refusing to let the townspeople leave to find refuge in safe zones. It is these militants who are starving and killing them. These Islamist militants, "the opposition" as propagandists call them, are using the starving people under their control to deceive the world, including the use of now exposed deceptive pictures of starving people stolen from the internet to foment outrage–pictures that are uncritically and irresponsibly used by media outlets like the CBC as some kind of "proof" that the Assad regime is responsible for this suffering.
While these areas of conflict are surrounded by government forces, it is the terrorists occupying the villages that are not surrendering and continue to use people as human shields ad for propaganda. Did The Current or is the CBC news desk presenting any of this balance at all to your stories on Syria? No. You are being played, and worse are a willing participant in a one-sided, anti-Syrian government, pro-Syria destruction campaign. Why Madaya? Why now? Why fake pictures? These are the questions you should be asking. The answer is because Jarrah and these "humanitarian interventionists" are using and abusing these civilians to enlist more western involvement.
You are not listening to any of the voices coming from inside Syria because you seem to value those minority voices outside Syria that are vying for overthrow of the government and seek to grasp power for themselves in lockstep with western hegemonic agendas. Thus you are not doing your job. What you are promoting, maybe inadvertently, maybe not, is for Syria to be devastated by NATO the way Iraq and Libya were, and not for the human rights of the people of Syria. So shame on you. This is despicable and my respect for the CBC has diminished significantly.
I urge the CBC to return to it's roots of unbiased investigative journalism and be committed to the truth so that I can feel confidence again to tune into CBC news and trust we are getting the best information. Balance your blatantly biased sources with "the other side"– the Syrian government that is backed by the vast majority of Syrian people, and the Syrian doctors and activists that are actually working to free their country from the terrorists!! Listen to the Syrians INSIDE SYRIA! Why would you NOT do that?
The text above originally appeared at The Wall Will Fall.
How can the factotums at the CBC call themselves journalists...or justify their tax-payer funded salaries when they print deceptive, unprofessional, propaganda like the stories about the starving Syrians? I have been reading these stories over the past week or so...and the bile has risen in my throat at the lies...but the writer of the above letter has taken it the step further and lodged a complaint...kudos to him or her.There is always a military agenda lying behind these lies. The entity that put the media up to the lies is more than likely...some "letter agency" like the CIA...that works for the neocon military/industrial complex. In this case, the military agenda is to put UN or NATO boots on the ground in Syria...to "save" the Syrians. The lying perps don't give a sh!t about the Syrian villagers...they just want an excuse to get their armies in....to head off a Russian/Assad government popularly supported victory over their proxy armies (ISIS) at all costs. They also want to get their terrorist, mercenary forces out of the area where they are currently subjected to bombardment by Russian planes. These career criminals take all humanity for such fools...a few staged photos will always do the trick.Here's a report from RT which tells the truth about what's going on in that region. Actual journalists who went to the villages....say the lack of necessities arose from rebel traders selling off the food aid at high prices...i.e. $250 for a kilo of rice! Common sense would dictate that if the foreign terrorist rebels got out of the area...things would quickly return to normal. But common sense went out the window decades ago....NO...the neocon want MORE foreign troops in the area...like, permanently. So they can wreak the same chaos and terror that is now going on in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.
I long ago gave up on the CBC as a source of objective journalism. I only go to it to inform myself about what the lies du jour are. Same as the BBC. I don't even go on the CNN/ABC/NBC/NYT/FAUX websites at all anymore...so chock-a-block full of filthy lies and soft porn drivel are they. They're the intellectual equivalent of swill for pigs.
CBC....Get the CIA/CSIS moles out of your operation and quit yer lyin!
NTS Notes: When I saw the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's "report" on the "situation" in Madaya, I could not believe what I was seeing.. It was such a disgusting piece of pure propaganda bullshit, and I was surprised that the liars at the CBC had the nerve to try to throw this at the gullible Canadian people with the hope the general public would fall for it...Luckily few have, and I have noticed over the last few days as the "reports of starvation" in Madaya have suddenly disappeared from the majority of the Jew spew media outlets....
Greencrow is just as disgusted as I am... We cannot believe, as Canadians, that the CBC had the nerve to try to promote this lie.. And all it shows is that the government in Canada and the Jew spew media here as well are also working with the US/Israel/NATO criminal cabal in trying to have Syria destroyed...
Yes, the propaganda war on people's minds never ends, and it does amaze me how people constantly fall for this crap.... But again, the liars in the Jew spew media are in league with the criminal Jewish elite that runs our governments in trying to not only vilify Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but also to still convince the entire world that the fraud of "ISIS" is a "threat"... And of course that the "war on terror" is somehow real as well!
Yes, luckily this "Madaya starvation" story is quickly falling to pieces for the criminals that want Syria destroyed... But again with the good guys winning the war to free Syria, they are becoming increasingly desperate, and I can guarantee there will be more false reports coming to try to brainwash people... Be aware everyone, for they are coming!
More to come

Good Evening internet readers. To those of you in Canada, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving; and to everyone else, I just hope you've had a great normal day 🙂
It's been a good weekend. I got to celebrate love at my friend Jessie's wedding, and then had amazing turkey dinners at both my family, and Russ's family's house. I gotta say it…I love gorging my face on Thanksgiving.
As I'm writing this, I'm realizing there isn't really any point to this post; I just wanted to come on here and check in. I read this article on Vice a couple days ago, and the second part of it really bugged me, so I guess that's something that I could talk about.
I guess…
The article talks about people's inappropriate reactions to seemingly harmless events, or in the case of "Cry-Baby #2", things. You see, a school in New York decided to ban sports equipment like footballs, baseballs etc due to an increase in injuries on the playground.
Kids can't even do a cartwheel without coach supervision. This may just be me, but I think it's a little much.
Admittedly, I don't have children, so I'm no authority on what is best for kids; I do however know that I have managed to live for twenty three years perfectly fine, and I was DEFINITELY allowed to play with footballs and do cartwheels freely.
I guess it's just another sign that things are changing. Copious amounts of arbitrary technology (Iphone 5s I'm looking at you), a government shutdown and children who will end up being afraid to trip and fall (aka another word for cats).
I guess thats all I've really got to say on the matter for now. I know its not the most well formed argument, but I keep slipping in and out of a turkey coma, and its the best I can muster up ;). I bid thee all a great end to your Monday night.
