It's strange to realize you've reached a point in life that used to be a distant vision. To hit an milestone or experience that you can remember imagining in earlier years as someday.
It's natural to reflect on these moments during significant events–weddings, graduations, meaningful purchases–but there are so many other, smaller signs that are just as poignant. Things like role reversals…how we interact and advise our friends and parents, even the conversations with people who work for us. These moments create bizarre reflections on how far we've come and everything that's changed over time.
I readily seek the advice of others, sometimes to a damning extent, but there are only a select few individuals who always have my ear. These are people I'm thankful for everyday because, at least in my opinion, they know everything. My encyclopedias of life advice.
This week, one of my encyclopedias came to me upset and in need of advice; suddenly roles were flipped. I was acutely aware of the irony of the situation as it occurred, and the weight of the proverbial torch being passed for a moment. It was a pretty heavy torch, but grasping onto it even momentarily was a welcome weight. Despite the negative feelings that prompted the exchange, I ultimately gained a sense of confidence in my own abilities to reciprocate advice and serve as a trusted confidante.
Until you're forced to take on the tasks that always seemed impossible, you'll never gain the satisfaction of knowing what you can achieve. Life pushes us out of the nest with moments like these, giving us a chance to stand, awkwardly, on our own two feet.
The art of reflection is a gift and a type of meditation. The more we learn to reflect not just on our current experiences but also how they relate to past experiences, the greater the opportunity to stay mindful of the present and confident in the future.

On Friday night the eighth of this month a night for ever to be remembered with me in sorrow. My house caught fire in about one hours after we all lay down.

I jumped up and run to the midel [sic] door to open it flame came to so I had to shut it again. I run out of the house and a round to the back shade there was two partitions in the shad [sic] and a entry between. I found I could not put it out.

Flin broke his thigh when he fel [sic] down and his prentace [sic] sprained his foot. I was burnt about the head and eyes and hand, but not hurt a tall [sic] by the fall out of the window.

J. Broaddus to French Tipton Mr. Broaddus discusses at great length the events surrounding his father's exploits in the 1820s, up through his return to Kentucky in 1872. Primarily they regard his father's trip from Old Franklin, Missouri to Santa Fe and Mexico with a party of traders that included Kit Carson. His father's arm was shattered while trying to fend off an animal. See the Yates' letters for more details on this chain of events. Medical attention was delayed and his friend Thomas Talbott, who had no surgical experience, amputated his arm. The letter then goes on to discuss other Broaddus family members, and E. J.'s civil service career. Also mentioned are William Sherley "Old Bill" Williams, John C. Fremont, and the Rocky Mountains. Note that the letter incorrectly identifies French Tipton's address; he lived in Richmond, Kentucky. Transcript: Chillicothe Mo. July 4th, 1892 French Tipton, Esq. Richmond Mo. [sic] Dear Sir - Your favor of the 7th inst. at hand. In reference to my father's trip to Santa Fe somewhere about 1820 as near as I now recollect the facts are about as follows. My father at that time was a resident of the state of Missouri. With a party of Santa Fe traders, including Kit Carson, he left what is known as Old Franklin, Mo. with goods packed upon horse and in wagon for Mexico. After having accomplished about half the distance in attempting to get his gun from his wagon, to shoot some wild animal that had invaded the camp of the traders, it was discharged shattering his right arm. In this condition he was hauled in his wagon, for the company did not stop on account of small matters, until it became apparent to him, that unless his arm was amputated he would not live to get to Santa Fe where it was expected he could receive surgical aid. He therefore called upon a friend by the name of Thos Talbott to cut of [sic] the arm. Talbott not being a surgeon and not having any confidence in his own skill refused at first to undertake the work. But my father convinced him that he would die unless the operation could be performed at an early day. The subject of this sketch had already considered the difficulties of the situation and had formed a very ingenious plan by which the operation could in his opinion be successfully performed. He directed the operation himself. It was as follows = to improvise a saw from a butchers knife to saw of [sic] the bone and to stop the bleeding of the arteries and veins by heating the king bolt of the wagon and searing them. The operation was successfully performed and he continued his trip to Mexico, sold out his goods with the others and returned to Mo. In 1827, he returned to Madison Co. Ky, where he died at a ripe old age in Dec 24 in 1872. It may be also remarked that Williams who was Fremont's guide in his celebrated exploring expedition through the Rock [sic] Mountains was the guide and Indian interpreter of the Santa Fe traders with which my father was connected. Andrew Broaddus was a man of Herculean strength, proud and imperious, with unbending will and apparently insensible to pain or fatigue. Kind and ever generous to the poor, but haughty with his equals. As for myself - I was born in Madison County June 19th 1836. Read law with the Hon. Curtis F. Burnam at Richmond Ky and was admitted to bar in March 1858. In April 1867, moved to Chillicothe Mo. where I have sinced [sic] lived. In Nov 1874, was elected judge of the 17th judicial circuit of the state for term of six years. In 1890 elected mayor of the City of Chillicothe for one year. On the 17th of Sept 1891 was appointed judge of this 17th judicial circuit upon petion [sic] of the the [sic] members of the bar by Gov D. R. Francis to fill the unexpired term of Judge James M. Davis who resigned on account of poor health. I am now a candidate for renomination in what is known as the 7th judicial circuit, the state having been redistricted. Since my appointment; the circuit is the largest in the state presided over by a single judge. It is composed of Clay, Ray, Caldwell, Daviess and Livingston Counties. I have already been endorsed for nomination by three out of the five counties. The circuit has nearly 6000 Democratic majority - I am a widower with nine children, two of whom are married. When I look over my past life and find how much I might have, and how little I have achieved I feel greatly discouraged. I hope you will be satisfied with the imperfect sketch I have given you. I will want a copy of your history when you get it completed. Yours Truly E. J. Broaddus PS. Please see Jerry Broaddus who can give you a better history of my father than I can - I have not time to revise what I written.

This book went off to a bit of a slow start, but it was a nice introduction to Amelia and how she came to be. I enjoy her character, she stands out in Victorian society, she's strong willed and fiercely independent. Evelyn comes along later in the plot and she's the complete opposite. Yet the two are fast friends and compliment each other. When the Emerson brothers are introduced, one can already come to conclusions as to who goes out with who. They make cute couples, although Amelia and her love interest was the best of the two couples (love their bantering)
The plot itself is a really nice mixture of historical fiction and mystery. There's elements of thriller/horror in the plot itself so as it progresses. The mystery doesn't really start until at least a third way into the story. There is a supernatural element into the story as well, but of course, being a historical mystery, there's a logical explanation to it all.
The only few criticisms I have of this story is the slow pace of it, character development is fine and fills the plot in between, but it's not until you read further into the book does the mystery intensify and become more thrilling.
Still, it's worth a read. Historical mystery lovers will enjoy the start of what looks like a great series. I'll be looking for the second one to read as well....Continua

Pretty good, I guess, but kind of slow. It just didn't grab me like I thought it should have.

After more than five years of knocking boots, swapping vows, surviving betrayal, and severing ties with zombie rocker Marilyn Manson, Dita Von Teese entered into a year of self-imposed celibacy and recovery while the men of the world quietly wept.
Fortunately for said weeping males, Dita's year without whoopee has finally come to an end and she is now ready, willing, and able to enjoy herself fully again. In fact, she tells News of the World, the merriment has already begun.
"Let's say I'm enjoying myself at the moment," Dita happily confesses. "I absolutely adore good sex…and let's face it, in times like these it's one thing you can really enjoy because it doesn't cost a thing."
But, contrary to what many might presume, good sex for Dita doesn't necessarily mean all the theatrics often associated with her former marriage. In fact, she says she's had it with "leather trouser and eyeliner types."
"At the moment I'm definitely not looking at musicians. I'm attracted to normal, sweet-looking guys in sweaters," she explains. "You can have a rollercoaster ride with a nice guy in a sweater."
Other down-to-earth insights and advice offered by the 16-inch-waisted sexpot include smiling ("When a man pictures his woman in his head he'll always remember when she's laughing and smiling") and being loyal to other women ("There's nothing sexy about hitting on another woman's man, it's just mean-spirited").
We can only presume the latter piece of advice is not-so-indirectly related to Evan Rachel "daddy issues" Wood, who began seeing Marilyn Manson less than a year after he married Dita.
Which isn't to say that Dita is bitter or jaded. Rather, she seems unexpectedly open to love and all the potential agony that comes along with it.
"You know what?" she says. "I absolutely accept that I'll have my heart broken again, and probably again and again."

Muffet McGraw is in her ninth Final Four as Notre Dame's head women's basketball coach. She has won two national championships, including a thriller last season. On Thursday in Tampa, she spoke about much more than basketball, talking at length about women's issues.
"I'm getting tired of the novelty of the first female governor of this state, the first female African American mayor of this city," McGraw said. "When is it going to become the norm instead of the exception? How are these young women looking up and seeing someone that looks like them, preparing them for the future? We don't have enough female role models. We don't have enough visible women leaders. We don't have enough women in power.
"Girls are socialized to know when they come out, gender rules are already set. Men run the world. Men have the power. Men make the decisions. It's always the man that is the stronger one."
READ: US soccer hero's mission to empower women
McGraw, in her 32nd season as head coach of the Fighting Irish, was later asked why she was coming forward and speaking up so strongly now.
"Enough," she replied. "I think women across the country in the last few years have just said enough. Time's up. Time's up. It is our turn. If it's going to happen, we have to do something about it. You see women marching in record numbers across the country. Women are coming out and being more active politically.
"I've never watched CNN as much in the past two years as I am now. We have the Equal Pay Act. Women are making 77 cents on the dollar. That's just white women. Women of color are lagging way further behind. I'm not talking about white women being coaches. We need more diversity in our game, as well."
A No. 1 seed, Notre Dame (34-3) faces a familiar foe in the national semifinal on Friday. The Irish will take on the No. 2 seed Connecticut Huskies (35-2), who are back in the Final Four for a record 12th consecutive time. It will be the 50th meeting between the storied programs.
The Irish are 4-3 against the Huskies in the NCAA tournament, including a 4-1 record against them in the Final Four. In the last 11 years, Notre Dame has defeated UConn eight times, while all other Division I teams have combined for eight wins. UConn has the most titles in Division I women's basketball with 11.
Tipoff for that contest is scheduled for around 9 p.m. ET. The other semifinal is at 7 p.m. ET between the top overall seed in Baylor (35-1), a two-time champion, and No. 2 seed Oregon (33-4).

How to Light an Oil Lantern
Scraping up melted wax from furniture and carpet diminishes the appeal of candlelight but oil lanterns offer a clean alternative. Oil lanterns come in different styles; some popular ones have handles for carrying or have an antique "genie" shape. All oil lanterns have three parts: a chimney that houses the flame, a container that holds the fuel, and a wick that carries the oil to make the flame. Use caution when lighting your lantern and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
Unscrew the chimney from the base or lift the housing lid, depending on your lantern style. Fill the lantern three-quarters full with lamp oil. Screw down the wick by turning the key on the side of the lantern. No wick should be visible above the rim of the oil container. Check for fuel spills; clean up any splatters you find with paper towels.
Saturate the wick completely in the lantern oil for 20 to 30 minutes. Smaller lamps might need only 20 minutes for complete wick saturation, while larger lamps might require 30 minutes. To know when your lamp is ready, look at the white fibers of the wick. They will become darker as the oil is absorbed.
Turn the key on the lantern, moving the wick a half to one inch above the burner tube. Trim away any previously burned wick and readjust the height if necessary.
Use a long match to light the wick. Remove the match and blow it out. Close the lantern. Monitor the lantern for smoke. If your lantern is too smoky, lower the wick slightly. If your flame smolders out, raise the wick slightly.
Things Needed
- Lamp oil
- Paper towels
- Scissors
- Long match
- Never use gasoline, paint thinner or any type of explosive fuel in your oil lantern.
- Turn down the wick, then blow out the flame to extinguish your lantern.
- Store the lantern in a cool, dry room away from any heat sources.
- Set oil lanterns on a flat surface.

Emiratis are addicted to Canada's premier doughnut chain, Tim Horton's. So it makes for kharmic culinary balance that Torontonians chomp a North American staple with a crazy MidEast twist: camel burgers. Casbah, a food kiosk in downtown Toronto, serves up camel burgers. "It's very healthy, and it has no fat," Casbah owner Dali Chehimi told CBC news.
He sources his camel meat from Whitehouse Meats in St. Lawrence Market, who ship it up from Australia (where camel culling is helping to reduce feral camel populations in the Aussie outback). Whitehouse Meats also offers camel for home consumption. It's a staple in North Africa, the Middle East and, increasingly, parts of Europe. But in North America, camel meat has a bit of a hump to get over before going mainstream. The butchers also sell emu, musk ox, caribou and ostrich.
Camel's being spun as a healthier alternative to beef and lamb. It boasts more protein, vitamin C and iron and less cholesterol. As for taste and textural differences, I wrestle back my gag reflex reading a review, "it's a little chewier" than trad meats.
Exotic meats are the main attraction at another Toronto eatery, WVRST restaurant, which serves up elk, boar and kangaroo.
WVRST's Katie Reingold says the kangaroo is a big draw. Diners meet up at the restaurant just to try it with friends: sort of nouveau competitive eating. "They have no idea what it tastes like and they've never heard of anyone serving kangaroo, but it's what they want", she told CBC news. Kangaroo meat has been described as having no similarity to either chicken, beef or pork. So does it taste like fish?
A foodie named Roy Pereira said he frequents WVRST because he loves to explore new foods. "I've had ostrich, wild boar, but anything that can be a pet, I draw the line." So while Pereira won't eat turtle meat (or, presumably, hamster, goldfish or parakeet), he has sampled deep-fried alligator.
But back to those camel burgers.
Chef Chehimi is from Tunisia. He said introducing camel onto Casbah's North African menu was a natural, "We eat it there, mostly in stews." This unusual entre sits comfortably on upscale restaurant menus, it's just not routine fare for a streetcorner takeaway joint. More....

I've mentioned in previous posts that I've finally gotten to the point where I don't feel guilty about the foods that I eat regardless of how healthy they are. Today, I made the decision to end my Whole30 at a Whole21, and I don't feel even a little guilty.
There are several reasons I decided to end it early, but the biggest is that in January I'm planning to do a Whole(?). I am going to do the Whole30, but then I'm going to extend it until I really feel that "tiger blood" they talk about on the Whole30 website. I haven't really felt that yet. Don't get me wrong, I've felt pretty good, but I still have the stomach issues along with a few other things I'm hoping to get rid of.
The stomach issues are another reason I decided to end my Whole30 a week early. I was feeling a bit nauseous around lunchtime, and all I had was pot roast which didn't sound remotely appealing. When my stomach gets like that, I usually need some kind of carbs and very little fiber to settle it. If I had potatoes or another starchy veggie, that would have worked, but I didn't have that either, so I opted for a sandwich instead. I thought about it for a solid 15 minutes weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately decided that it was ok to go off plan a little early.
Another reason I decided to end it? Next week is my birthday, and I want cake! 🙂 I had planned to just wait until the Friday after my birthday and have a cupcake, but I know there will be other treats from friends and coworkers during the week that I want to be able to enjoy. I actually really enjoy my birthday, and it only comes around once a year, so I want to be able to enjoy it! I'm not planning to go crazy, but I'm going to let myself have a treat here and there if it seems worth it to me.
I was considering ending it last night already actually. I was really craving pizza or a sub, but I thought about it, and neither of those items were special, and ultimately they weren't worth it. I guess the sandwich today wasn't really special either, but it was worth it because it helped settle my stomach. Last night I ended up ordering a salad instead, and it was sooooo good! I did a build your own salad from a local pizza place, and I did Romaine lettuce with cucumbers, carrots, onions, black olives, banana peppers, and green peppers topped with chicken and my own oil and vinegar dressing. Mmmm! It really hit the spot.
As an added bonus, when I was ordering, my debit card got declined, so I went online to check my balance, and it turns out someone had gotten hold of my information and charged $100 to some scammy looking crowdfunding project for a zombie apocalypse compound. I'm not going to list the site here because they don't deserve any more traffic in case they're the ones that stole my info. I ended up having to call my bank and cancel my card. Hopefully it was just the card they got and not the whole account! They're looking into my claim, but hopefully they'll realize that I didn't invest in that project, and I'll get my money back. Why can't people just keep their hands off of what isn't theirs?
Some other (definitely better!) excitement that I've had recently is that I won the first round of my 6 month diet bet! I really stalled out at the end there, so I think round 2 is going to be really tight, but I think I'll make it. I'm going to try my hardest to make it, actually! I've already amped up my efforts by starting a new Pilates program from blogilates.com. If you're interested in Pilates, I recommend visiting her site. The videos are all super quick, but you can combine them to get a longer workout if you want. You may not need to though because her videos are challenging! I'm working on her beginner calendar right now, and it is tough! I've been sore for the last 5 days (I started 5 days ago!), but I can definitely tell it's working!
Well, that's all I've got for you for today! I am in for a fun-filled weekend, and I can't wait! I'm spending the weekend with the bf which is always a nice time, and tomorrow night my best girlfriends are meeting my bf. I can't wait! We're all going out for dinner and then to a hockey game, so it should be a really great night. 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Bobby's guide to tacos in Cabo
* with a very limited exposure to hole in the wall places not on Yelp
1.Las Sirenas, Sheraton Resort
3 fish tacos for ~300 pesos. On the expensive side, but it pays for convenience. If, on the first day you arrive and all you want is a taco and a margarita, this is the place. It comes with a rich tangy creamy sauce and slaw. The drinks are either 2 for 1 or free if you have a hotel drink ticket. Enough to tide you over until you get a car.
2. Gardenias, Cabo San Lucas
Open late, cheap tacos (28-35 pesos each) and a huge variety of toppings. It's next to a liquor and beer store so it's easy to get a 12 pack to go. The toppings include all kinds of chilies, a guac sauce, pickled and regular onions. I may have gotten mild food poisoning each time I've been there, or I may have just overeaten by a lot. I have tried and approve of the fried fish, grilled fish, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, pork rind, bbq pork, and bbq beef tacos. Also has grilled cactus tacos or quesadillas.
3. Burrito Surf Shop, Cabo San Lucas
Still not a hole in the wall but it's much more remote and located in a more residential area. When you hear "burritos" you lose a little credibility; almost more like a San Diego shop with its surf board decor. The fish tacos were grilled well and the veggie burrito bowl was bomb. (89 for 2 tacos, 110 for a bowl)
4. Taco Guss, Cabo San Lucas
After burrito surf shop we were on our way home but stopped by here because of the great reviews and great smells. It was long the main tourist street so potentially not super authentic. But I got a pastor taco to go, and it came with 5 baggies of sauces. So for 25 pesos I got a great corn tortilla pastor taco, and a lingering question: why didn't I buy more?

Mission Trip to Mae Sai, Thailand
Today is Friday, and we left Mae Sai a couple hours ago by bus, and now we're at the bus station in Chiang Rai about to meet some people to go to a mountain village for the weekend. Here's some of what happened the last couple days in Mae Sai…
On Wednesday morning, we started out with the kids at Home of Grace at 6:30am with worship, Bible teaching and prayer. After we walked with them to school, we visited and prayed for sick and hurting people, some were very extreme cases.
That afternoon we visited and prayer-walked a huge Buddhist temple overlooking Burma (Myanmar).
We met up with the kids after school, walked with some of the kids to Chinese school (about half also attend this six days a week in addition to regular Thai school five days a week). Then we went with the rest of the kids to a park and played. That night at Home of Grace we did our drama, shared testimonies, and had a big dance party. It was awesome!
On Thursday morning, after prayer and worship time with the kids, we prayer-walked around the streets of Mae Sai. That afternoon we explored a large market area, finding some snacks and treats for the kids at Home of Grace. We spent some quality time together at a coffee shop, then connected with the kids at Home of Grace for English lessons. It was a blast. Those kids are so smart!
And that brings us to Friday, today as I write this. We had a good time with the kids before school this morning, and some good team time together before we left Mae Sai.
Now we're heading to a mountain village that a few of the girls from Home of Blessing are from, and they'll be joining us for this weekend's ministry. We'll be staying with a family there, and everyone seems to be very excited about it on all ends.
More to come about the adventures in Christ at the mountain village, Doi WahWe….

I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri the other night, finally, and then (as is my way) devoured as many reviews as possible and man, my take on Chief Willoughby is different.
Before I hit spoiler territory — yeah, this was a flawed movie. Vox has a backgrounder which is mostly pretty good. I agree that Dixon is not redeemed at the end of the movie, but McDonagh's black characters are in fact just plot devices. It's a painful flaw. That said, onward.

Mr. Bill's Adventureland Review
Reviewed by Mr. Bill & Lela
For those of you who would love to play a great 'secret agent' game, with a hero who looks the part, acts like a private eye, and talks like Bogart, this is an excellent one.
Set in the year 2099, you play Joshua Reev, an agent who comes out of retirement to help his old friend the Governor of Union City, who has become the target of a series of terrorist attacks. But in order to solve the mystery and bring them to justice, you must first locate and then infiltrate their subversive organization, all the while unraveling an ever-growing web of deceit and intrigue.
Many things about this game impressed us. It has a tight, well-thought-out storyline, challenging puzzles that are apropos to both the story and the setting, and an attention to realistic detail in the animation and graphics that we rarely see done so well.
In the city different traffic sounds and an occasional siren are heard in the background, giant TV screens and neon signs change independently and naturally, and you can see people through the windows of distant buildings, all going about their own activities and turning lights on and off. Even when you do things as simple as picking something up or putting on gloves, the body, arm and hand movements are all completely natural looking. It all combines to create a feeling of realism that makes for a totally immersive experience.
Nightlong is a 3rd person, point & click adventure, on 3 CDs. Gameplay is unhurried, but the story is the edge-of-your-seat kind that all good spy thrillers are made of... with a couple of surprises thrown in, just to keep you on your toes. And it has 5 different levels with over 80 locations, plus 60 minutes of full motion video sequences, to keep you entertained for a long, long time. So for mystery fans, this is one you certainly don't want to miss!
Note: Unlike most games, the CD must be inserted in order to uninstall the game.
Developed (1998) by Team 17 Software and published by DreamCatcher Interactive.

PC: Pentium 100 MHz; 16MB RAM; 4X CD ROM Drive; 30 MB of Free Hard Drive Space; SVGA 1MB RAM Video Card; Windows 95 / 98; DirectX Drivers; Windows 95 / 98 Compatible Sound Card

We all know that Wu-Tang is for the children, but now Eminem appears to be as well. The Detroit emcee shocked fans when he recently granted an interview to Troy, Michigan eighth grader Annie Reed for her East Hills Middle School newspaper.
According to TheBoombox.com, Reed was planning on writing a biography of the rapper for her school newspaper The Cavalier Corner, but ultimately tracked the emcee down for an interview instead. Em's publicist Dennis Dennehy said he was impressed by the 14-year-old student.
"I just thought, 'Wow, here's a middle school girl from Detroit who has some guts," said Dennehy.
"It was interesting to hear how he learned from his mistakes," said Reed after the interview. "He told me that he dropped out of school when he was my age, and I thought about what that would be like for me if I did that right now. Then I thought, 'I like school!"
The article will be published in The Cavalier Corner sometime before February 22.

The other day in my Kythnos kitchen my breadboard split violently asunder, and I was not at all pleased. To be sure, I barely used it for slicing bread, but as a vegetable chopping board, and in the paltry 11 months of its life, and with 4 mega dinner parties heaving with hungry Kythnos teachers, the number of leeks , onions, peppers, aubergines, courgettes etc chopped upon it have been legion. A friend who was staying bought it for me last May, and in fairness it was the only one in the Hora hardware shop, but it looked both considerably smaller than any UK variety, and also palpably fragile, or do I mean simply worryingly time bound? It had a bloody great knot in the middle of the wood, and that did not augur well. Now that it was in two ugly shards of width 4 inches and 2 inches, the smaller one would be hopeless for anything but a doll's house kitchen, and the wider one for cutting a single small onion, but not for sticking my indispensable cheese grater upon it. The point is I had just acquired a brilliantly sharp kitchen knife made in Turkey, much lauded by the same Hora hardware assistant, who otherwise has no time at all for Turks. But as if to say he knew all about fair's fair and objectivity, he told me that Turkey was somewhere where they know how to make a knife that doesn't pretend to be a bloody old toy one. At any rate, if from then on, bebbing the odd invigorating slug of bargain ksiroerythros dry red, I hacked too carelessly with that Turkish knife on my now delimited 4-inch board, I might end up bloodily and drippingly finger-free, as well as chopping board-reft.
I went without hope to the biggest supermarket in the port, knowing that if I hadn't wanted a breadboard they would have had 10 different types, all going for a song, and now that I did they would have nothing, and the dry husband would shrug his shoulders as if to say who needs a bloody chopping board anyway, the point being that he personally had last prepared something in the blah blah always yakking women's kitchen, when Kythnos was under the yoke of the Ottomans, if not earlier. But luckily they had a nifty Chinese job made out of plastic, and only costing 4 euros, and what's more, it had a charming photo of a beaming Chinese lady of about 35, beaming precisely because she had a nice breadboard/ pastryboard/ chopping board just like this one, one that would obviously last for 200 years. Come to think of it my mothers' much used pastry-board was also made out of wood, and was very old indeed, and never showed any signs of wear. But then it had no bloody great knot smack in the middle of its heart of oak, whereas my prematurely kaput one was made of who knows what, long dead Hong Kong hawthorn?
I have known bigger shocks than that though, when things have torn themselves asunder. Just before Annie and I celebrated my 50th birthday in Dublin in October 2000, my white Renault which had been new and stunning in 1988, finally gave up the ghost. As it hiccupped and danced out of the Cumbrian garage with the mechanic Des shaking his wise head, and also washing his wise hands of it, it was making the strangest noise you have ever heard. To me it sounded like a very large factory sink emptying and whistling and glugging as it did, but a dour Geordie man of my acquaintance was walking in my direction and he had a radically different opinion. My window was open and he shouted in with glum yet cheerful concern:
"Yah cah soonds like a hoofah, hinny."
A Hoover? He was bloody right. More of a Hoover than a whistling industrial sink, right enough. In any event, fast forward till Annie and I were back from that riotous and restorative week in Dublin, the Hoover masquerading as a Renault lying inert in our farmhouse courtyard, and I was in desperate need of a car. The same headshaking Des did not shake his unprincipled head at what he managed to palm off on me, which was a 1987 Rover at the maximum book price of £800. It went fine for about a week, and then started having serious cooling system problems. Apropos of nothing, and certainly not because it was suffering at me going like the clappers with my steady and relaxed 35mph, motorway and dual carriageway included, the temperature gauge would shoot up, and there is nothing to instil raw panic in you like an overheated engine. I would halt the bastard somewhere convenient, and wait till it cooled, and then set off again, and by a fluke it might behave itself for the next 50 miles. Alternatively like a Strindbergian femme fatale, or a whinnying skittish mare, it might decide to please its bloody self, and boil up within 50 reluctant yards. Des who used to shake his hairy, beardy head about 50 times a day, for various earnest diagnostic reasons, shook it twice, and eventually concluded my car needed a new cooling system. He booked it in the next morning, installed it for a few hundred quid, and a week later it was still boiling up, and to be honest by now, so was I.
But that was the mere aperitif, the hors d'oeuvres and mezzes and antipasti, to the entree that was succulently to come. One day in 2001 I was driving towards the same garage for petrol, when the car literally collapsed. I had no idea what had happened, but it was exactly as if someone had dropped a massive but invisible boulder on the car, so that the unfortunate Rover's back had been broken. Clearly the vehicular vertebrae had gone, and it no longer cohered as a car. Des, who was after all the unprincipled bastard who had sold me this now sadly quadraplegic Rover, wandered leisurely across, shook his head three and a half times, and advised me the drive shaft had gone. Doubtless age, he added with such patience and philosophy, no doubt wear and tear. I conjured with that a while, thinking I at 50 have had a fair bit of wear and tear, but I don't expect my spinal cord to shatter just as I walk towards the Coop to buy a Mars Bar, do I? To cap all, he told me he was up to his eyes with repairs, and couldn't possibly see to me now. I was bloody speechless and frankly incendiary. I got out, pushed past him, picked up the phone next to his counter, and rang the only other garage in town. Luckily they were a specialist recovery outfit, used to removing crashed cars after an accident. They were there within ten minutes, and had it carted away and a new drive shaft sorted within a couple of days. They also had courtesy cars, which is more than bloody old head-wagging Des ever had. However I am not going to continue the panegyric of these recovery saviours, as about a year later the Rover drive shaft went a second time, which can only mean that the one they put in was a second hand one, riddled with the metallurgical equivalent of advanced woodworm.
But Annie and I were arguable wide-eyed eejits in the last month of 1982, when we decided to buy an aged car just because it looked so petite and so enchantingly sweet. It was a Baby Fiat from 1968, year of the Paris riots and the Beatles song Revolution, and also the cruel invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviets. A year full of drama, both revolutionary and reactionary, and true to say that our Baby Fiat was both of those things also. We were living in Oxford, and we bought it from a man I'd known as a student a decade earlier. He was a jazz guitarist of considerable repute, and had performed late at night on BBC Radio 3, so self-evidently this guy after my own heart, as he surely was, could only be offering us a car that would delight, inform and educate. We bought it for £400, the day before we set off north for a West Cumbrian Christmas, and by a still inexplicable miracle, it got us there no problem. Once reached Cumbria though, it decided it had done its contractual job, and it staggered and broke down umpteen times between the various foci of our families and our friends. At length a mechanically savvy acquaintance, told us that it all down to the fan belt and the shims. The shims, peculiar to Baby Fiats, were funny little metal flanges that you removed when there were compression problems. So any problem, you took out a shim, and then the thing sorted itself after a benign entropic fashion, is how I recall the memorably inscrutable S Level Physics puzzler some 33 years on. The problem was our particular Baby Fiat currently had no bloody shims at all, meaning they had all been removed to sort the numerous previous 14 years of problems, but in doing so they had left behind only a ghostly shim memory, and even two wishful thinkers like Annie and me, knew that you could not run a car on the incorporeal memory of a gizmo, but you needed the corporeal gizmo itself to do the job. To accelerate and edit the touching story, on the 250 mile return journey, we had to be towed off the motorway no less than five times by the AA. Miraculously we made it through Oxford itself to our Iffley Road bedsit, and precisely ten yards away where we parked it, it gave up its 1968 Italian soul, and never moved again a single inch. The bespectacled guy who lived next door, knew all about cars, and he took a smart little gauge and determined that assuredly the gorgeous Baby Fiat car had absolutely nil compression, or in his words 'zilch'.
It was the first time I had ever heard the strange word zilch in January 1983, and from then on I would never be able to forget it.

Planning Permission
Generally speaking if you want to change the use of a building or alter or extend the building you will almost certainly require planning permission.
However, it is not required for changes to the inside of buildings, or for small alterations to the outside (i.e. alarm boxes, telephone connections).Other small changes, for example putting up walls and fences below a certain height, have a general planning permission for which a specific application is not required. If your property is mortgaged, you must also inform your mortgage provider of any planned change of use to the building
You can check informally with the Council whether your proposal requires planning permission.
In the first instance contact East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 887700 or click here for further details or Hull City Council on Tel 01482 300300 or call in at your local Customer Service Centre.
Fire Regulations
For fire safety advice and the enforcement of the regulatory reform (fire safety order) 2005 contact Humberside Fire and Rescue Public Safety Centre or call 0300 30038242

- Training of food handlers
- Food Safety Management System (i.e. how you organise, operate and monitor your business to ensure that you provide safe food at all times)

Say what you will about Windows Phone, but the platform's greatest strength has always been Nokia's Lumia phones.
And the latest phone in the series, the Lumia 928, is no different. The Lumia 928 is the first high-end Lumia for Verizon, which by default makes it a very important device for Nokia itself. But is it any good? Here are a few first impressions.
A camera to kill for, maybe
Above anything else, Nokia and Verizon are selling the Lumia 928 on the power of its camera. The phone's 8.7-megapixel shooter "captures amazing blur-free photos and videos even in low light", according to Nokia, which has gotten in trouble for making lavish claims about its phones' cameras before.
So do those claims hold up with the Lumia 928? Sort of. I took a bunch of shots with the phone, and very few of them came close to the almost-flawless sample shots that the phone teases you with. That's not to say my photos weren't nice (the one of the Manhattan skyline is especially good), but they just didn't consistently match the quality I was expecting. I wasn't blown away.
Still, the camera is fast, and features like Smart Shoot (which captures a series of images and merges the best ones) and Cinegraph (which is Nokia's answer to Vine) are neat, if slightly gimmicky, additions. The best part? The Lumia 928 comes with a hardware camera button, which, in full disclosure, I only just now remembered exists.
Nokia is also making a big deal out of the Lumia 928's Xeon flash, which helps freeze motion in certain kinds of shots. I didn't get a chance to try this out, but MyNokiaBlog gives a good idea of how it works.
Nokia ditches color for yet another black slab
One of the best, most immediately striking things about the Lumia phones is that they come in a wide, attractive variety of colors. They feel unique, interesting, and fun to hold. That color is gone with the Lumia 928, which, with the exception of its white back, feels like just another black slab. The phone is pretty, but there just isn't much to care about beyond that. (And the giant Verizon logo on its front doesn't help either.)
As far as the whole feel-in-hand goes, the Lumia 928 sits right on the line between being solid and uncomfortably bulky. Maybe it's the squared edges or the plasticky back, but the phone just isn't particularly enjoyable to hold. For lack of a better word, the Lumia 928 just feels, slimy.
In fact, the Lumia 928 would be a far, far better phone if it had the same aluminum casing as the Lumia 925, which Nokia annouced earlier this week.
One thing I do appreciate about the Lumia 928, though, is its power button, which is placed in the center of its right edge. It's a tiny thing, but it shows that Nokia puts a lot of thought into how people are using their phones. So thanks, Nokia.
We'll have a more detailed review of the Lumia 928 very soon.

Thank you Icey!!!
This is the coolest birthday card (E-card?) I ever got, and everyone here likes it alot.
Thanks so very much for taking a minute and thinking of me on my birthday;
If you had the patience to make a longer flash...
My oh my it would own hard. But hey, excellent work. I'm proud.
Happy Shades Day,
Circle blew the fuck up!
Oh my, the circle abuse all around is awesome.
I really, really liked this man. Sincerely.
Frankly, at this point, I'm not sure what SD08 flash I like best, but this is in the top three.
Happy Shades Day 2008 Everybody!
Hey, for a while there, I wanted to strangle you!
Sweet f'ing Lord this is a frustrating game, but I kept at it because it was wicked fun for the most part. I've been playing sporadically since this was under judgment, and I just finished about an hour ago. Man, it sure does take a hell of a lot of patience to get all the upgrades...
In my opinion, the attention span of the average Newgrounds patron is...less than ideal for this particular game. If you're planning on making any improvements, I think you first need to add the ability to select a level of difficulty or find some way to make it a bit easier for some people (allow the option to start with a bit of money, perhaps), because I'm not sure many will have the patience to get all the way through.
Also, those damned Mochi Ads! I don't want my own 'Zwinky' damn you! I think it'd be best for players if you'd tone those down a bit. I don't mind them for the most part, but this is pretty crazy.
Well, all in all, being the defense junkie I am, I had a f'ing blast kicking and screaming my way through this bitch, and oh yes, it is a bitch. Definitely not for those who want a twenty minute gaming session.
I really hope it makes it into the Defense Collection; I know I recommended it :)
Here's some suggestions...
First off, love me a zombie game, love me a defense game. It could've had a few extras, but all in all it was pretty fun. But it gets a solid four/eight from me, and here's why...
Come on now, a guy with a scoped rifle is gonna be taking longer shots than this - these are pistol distances. The limited field of vision as far as seeing the zombies before they're close enough to your defenses is a real pain. The barbed wire gets annihilated wicked fast later on in the game. Why aren't the sandbags behind the fence/gate? Would've made a lot more sense, as they looked out of place, and it would've done a bit to add to the extremely limited field of vision, which is my primary "issue" with your work. I'd think a mere increase of twenty-five percent would be sufficient.
The reloading is cumbersome. Come on now, I get and respect that you were going for a bit more realism (zombies come, you're gonna have the gun[s] you have, and no more), but would it have hurt too much to allow the "R" key to do the job? Click click click click, fire fire fire fire, repeat x20...arrgh! You get used to it, but damn is it annoying...
Limited sound effects took away a bit as well. I want my zombies to groan or something when shot or when they're injured by barriers dammit! I want them quasi-retarded bastards to come on screen making stereotypical Down Syndrome noises and whatnot damn you! Also, the sound of a rifle bolt (click click baby!) after each shot, and perhaps sporadic commentary (oh fuck they're close, Boom! Headshot!, etc) from our protagonist would've been absolutely priceless.
SO: All in all, a pretty damned nice game for what it is. Definitely worth the time, and definitely worth a few dozen more replays. I really hope you have it in mind to make a sequel, because the world needs all the zombie games it can get. Excellent work; keep it up!
BONUS PROTIP: "Spray and Pray" (fire in random directions, anticipating the next wave) when nothing's on the screen; you can often get a few undead and quickly go back to reloading.
Needs a little more...
The story was mildly entertaining, and of course it was short because this is a preview, but you may want to consider different choices leading to alternate storylines, rather than just ending the game. Otherwise, it's not really much of a game - it's just a movie/story with buttons.

Rebuilding the Temple
Ezra 1:1-4; 3:1-4, 10-13 Commentary
by Rachel Wrenn
On this third Sunday in Advent, we jump from Isaiah 40 to Ezra 1-3.
There is a considerable chronological gap between our weekly Advent readings, significant enough that you may want to start this sermon by walking through the historical action we've covered in the past few weeks. On Advent 1, God spoke to Jeremiah in the midst of an embattled and besieged Jerusalem. On Advent 2, Jerusalem has fallen, and God spoke through Isaiah to the grieving people who fled or were exiled to Babylon (roughly modern-day Baghdad, Iraq). The hopeful tone of Isaiah's words have led some scholars to believe that Isaiah knew or could sense in the political climate an end to the exile and a return home. He may have known this because of the arrival of King Cyrus in Babylon, a person we meet right off the bat in Ezra 1:1.
Cyrus was the king of Persia (ancient Iran, roughly), and he arrived as conqueror in Babylon with a very different concept of empire. While the Babylonians dominated other nation-states through violence and exile, Cyrus and the Persians conquered, ...

Modern IT structures are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to control due to the disparate locations of IT assets and their components. As IT assets are constantly travelling throughout enterprise locations and organizational structures, implementing a comprehensive zone management solution is critical to keep track of assets, service lifecycles, and user responsibilities.

Optimize Your Data Center to Reclaim Lost Capacities
Lost capacities within the data center are often the result of varying lifecycles between ICT assets, technical developments and facilities. As modern data center operations evolve past traditional design planning, both operational and financial challenges arise. For example, a typical data center is built to last at least 30 years, while facilities management infrastructure is designed to last 10-20 years. In this scenario, data center managers must determine how to reclaim lost capacities without investing in a full data center expansion.

Significance of Standardized Methods to manage IT Projects successfully
It's remarkable how often IT projects get out of control. Various studies show that more than 34% of all IT projects in the private sector fail in terms of costs, deadlines or acceptance of the final results. Especially projects regarding the implementation of documentation and management software are doomed to fail according to these surveys. Thus it's true, that more than 30% of IT projects in the private sector cause higher costs than planned. And as the additional costs lay between 10% and 20%, we're not talking about a few more pennies to spend.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans know Elizabethtown, Ky., the place made famous by the movie of the same name. Folks around here could tell you, though, that most of the movie was made down the road in a town called Versailles. Pronounced ver-sales, whether or not you speak French.
Still hundreds of thousands more know Elizabethtown as a wide spot on I-65, the road that goes from Nashville to Louisville. It's a watering hole of sorts where bright signs beckon drivers to endless gas stations surrounded by a fast-food mecca. And for the weary, of course, there's plenty of room to bed down.
Two big Kentucky highways meet up with I-65 here, the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway, which goes all the way to the Land Between the Lakes region, and the Martha Layne Collins Blue Grass Parkway, which heads east for an hour or so to Woodford County and the rolling horse farms of the Lexington area.

Deland, Fla. legislator Joyce Cusack never dreamed that she would see an African American as president of the United States. But the former Florida state representative and superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention will be among the crowds streaming into Washington to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama.
On the eve of the inauguration, Cusack and other members of the class of 1960 at DeLand's segregated Euclid High School reminisce about the lunch counter sit-ins they organized and their experiences as students during the Civil Rights Movement.
