Cornice of Tears
You never really back home. You never even been out. You still here, laying your body for the last time, at place where nobody know your name
You may not know why,
Much easier to act strong then to act weak for you. You could fight the fear but you couldn't handle a single tear. Because your body needs to float all over the pain and needs to start it all over again, until you hear those strangers inside you sounds like they singing about "Home".
Is not a sin if you just want to witnesses her again.
I thought I see your tears,
I thought I hear your fears,
Remember what I say;
"The home was not exist, once you step outside. Is not there anymore."
She sat down and wept, right at edge of the Cornice. Put our eyes straight through the deepest side of our heart. We know how fast this flower will blossom and die right after for just a moment. Quite close to what we needs, and far away from where the sea and city meets.
There was only two big question 'we' (Human) wants to understand from the Universe;
"When should we start and when should we stop?"
Her glisten eyes strive to reflect those city lights from the place where we stand. I saw the lights melting on her tear drops, flow to the tops, they flew and tend to resist the gravity, they floating away above our world. They comes back as a storm, strike between her eyes, and she began again to cry.
"You can make a different, and tell a different story. Your heart, can safe my world."
"Those city lights, will light up her street, down where the sea and city meets. May all your suffer soon be gone.
"Those reflected lights from her eyes, they will light up your street, maybe one day they will bring her back to you."
Plot on this post was inspired by my selection of related songs: Tribute to Ramelia – Ram, Christmas Lights – Coldplay, One Heart – Ana Criado. And some Books: (tidak ada new york hair ini) – Unknown, The Zahir – Paulo Coelho, Plot Of Love – Mia (lost and found author), By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept – Paulo Coelho.
Each part and paragraph of this story was indirectly talking to me at one of my random sleepless night. It will tells you how love can somehow transform into everything, way far beyond imagination. Those songs and books i assume as the tools, my memories will reincarnate into "whisper" that express word by word and place to place. This story will brings past to every moment in future, the pills are actually good, and this simple plot will somehow, Remain.
Love "in order to understand, i destroyed myself." ~F. Pessoa, 1762 (Mt. Lourdes- France).

This is a novel defense. Drudge is reporting that the under-age pages "goaded" Rep. Mark Foley into typing sex-filled instant messages as a joke.
The joke went "awry" when they fell into enemy hands.
Tom Reynolds campaign spokesman was in a meeting and couldn't comment. The spokesman for Reynold's opponent, Jack Davis, disagreed with the account on Drudge, but declined to comment on the record.
Being a congressional page is not a something that even people who used to be in the program want to talk about nowadays. I tried asking one former page, Manhattan Councilman Dan Garodnick, about the program when he was there. He too is having a busy day of meetings.

The social media arena has become a safe haven for many who feel silenced in modern day China. Ever since the country has opened its doors to these platforms in 2009, the numbers of users have steadily grown to surpass even that of Twitter. Currently Sina Weibo has accumulated around 340 million active users on its site, some of which are international celebrities like Tom Cruise and Emma Watson who want to reach out to their Chinese fan base.
The site follows the same format as Twitter, where people are given 140 characters to share their thoughts and opinions. This is more than enough in the Chinese language, allowing them to project longer flows of thought as opposed to the witty one-liners that Westerners turn to because of the limited space. Conversations on the site vary as they talk about sports, gossip, popular topics, polls, events, and unexpectedly, arguments on government corruption.
It's an interesting concept to behold, a platform for conversation in a censored world. Presented is a weird sense of balance, the government is allowing the people to talk, but there is an unspoken agreement that certain things cannot be mentioned. The most known of these taboo subjects are the 3T's and 1 F, meaning: Tiananmen, Taiwan, Tibet, and Falon-gong.
Any mention of material that could be interpreted as a threat to China's socialist values could lead to the removal of material, suspension of an account, or even shutting down the entire Weibo-sphere. While that might not sound so bad to foreign ears, being cut off from this platform is almost equivalent to losing your freedom of speech. With China having a taste of what's it like to be heard, the thought of losing it is absolutely terrifying.
Because authorities are still watching these micro-blogging platforms carefully, the Chinese are very careful, and clever. They know that certain keywords can catch attention, so they've manipulated the language to become something that has an entirely different meaning. There's constant development in the way they communicate online, altering abbreviations, expressions, and words to suggest the underlying message behind it.
In its own right, the movement is absolutely revolutionary. Recently, it's being carefully monitored because the site cannot afford to become too powerful. The agreement is for everyone to behave. Citizens should know what kind of material is crossing the line, and the government should not impose unreasonable restrictions that could spark protests.
With Sina Weibo's many active users, its incredible how quickly information can spread. It can prove to be very helpful especially during times of crisis and injustice. Many cite the bullet train incident in Zhejiang province where 40 people were killed and around 200 people were injured. Rescue efforts were able to get to the scene quite quickly, and the citizens were quick to look for someone to be held responsible. Another incident at a popular hotel chain in Japan, where history books were being kept in rooms that insinuated the Chinese fabricated the Rape of Nanking. This sparked waves of anger on Weibo where two bloggers posted a video about it. As can be seen, even with censorship present, Weibo's users are fearless when it comes to injustice.
In recent months, it seems like China's government is trying to contain as much as it can before their "freedom" gets too out of hand. This includes the closing of several celebrity gossip websites, suspending video posting and online streaming, and the topics of drug addiction and homosexuality on the grounds of inappropriate content. While China has definitely taken many leaps forward, this comes to show that the communist country still has a long way to go.

Full-time from The Den
Millwall: Forde, Dunne, Malone, Abdou, Robinson, Beevers, Feeney (Keogh, 67mins), Trotter, Waghorn (Easter, 79mins), Morison, Woolford. Subs not used: Bywater, Moussi, Shittu, Hoyte, McDonald.
Millwall extended their fine unbeaten run at The Den to seven matches as they held off a battling Wigan Athletic side to secure three crucial points.
Wigan, watched by new manager Uwe Rosler, who had been appointed as Latics boss just hours before kick-off, got off to the worst possible start when Steve Morison struck his second goal in successive games after just 92 seconds.
Striker Jermaine Easter stepped off the bench and looked to have made the win safe with a splendid second goal six minutes from the end, only for James McArthur to reduce the deficit seconds later with a curling effort beyond the reach of David Forde to set up a nervy finale.
Steve Lomas' side, showing one change from the side that faced Nottingham Forest on Tuesday with Liam Feeney in for the injured Lee Martin, got off to a perfect start with less than two minutes on the clock.
Feeney won a corner on the right when his inviting delivery was headed clear, and from Martyn Waghorn's resulting delivery, the Wigan defence half-cleared only for Jimmy Abdou to head the ball back into the mix. Morison was first to the ball, took one touch and drilled home from close range.
Having been stunned by that early goal, Wigan began to settle into their stride and they came close to equalising on the 10-minute mark. Lions keeper David Forde came to the rescue first by parrying James McClean's 20-yard effort and then making a stunning block from Emmerson Boyce to divert the ball away with the goal gaping.
Three minutes later it was Latics keeper Scott Carson called into action, comfortably saving Martyn Woolford's looping header from a Feeney cross.
On 35 minutes Woolford nearly scored what would have been a wonderful goal as he jinked his way past three Wigan defenders and hit a low drive past Carson, only to see the ball canon back off the inside of the post.
Wigan defender Stephen Crainey was shown a yellow card nine minutes after the break when he hacked down Feeney as he broke clear, with Waghorn firing the resulting free-kick into the wall.
Morison went close to adding a second goal for The Lions with a crisp shot that flashed wide, but back came Wigan and the visitors really piled on the pressure in search of an equalising goal.
Grant Holt directed a header wide of the target and keeper Forde twice made solid clearing punches from Ben Watson corners as The Lions rearguard was put under the cosh.
But it was Millwall who looked to have wrapped up the points six minutes from time when Liam Trotter, who seemed to have lost control of the area on the halfway line, pushed on and released a stunning pass to sub Easter, and he showed great composure to slot home past the advancing Carson..
However those celebrations were cut short when, immediately from the kick-off, Millwall switched off defensively and McArthur curled a shot beyond the reach of Forde.
In a nervous final few minutes it took the sheer brilliance of keeper Forde to deny Wigan a leveller when he somehow got his fingers to tip Leon Barnett's goalbound header away as it arrowed towards the top corner.
Forde then punched another Watson corner clear with one last save as Lomas' side held on for a vital victory.
Morison (2mins), Easter (83mins) Scorers:
Wigan Athletic: Carson, Boyce (Shotton, 77mins), Ramis, Barnett, Watson, McArthur, McCann, McClean, Powell (McManaman, 51mins), Crainey (Espinoza, 81mins), Holt. Subs not used: Nicholls, Gomez, Perch, Keane.
Scorer: McArthur (84mins)

Another exciting project on the horizon. Meet atmospheric indie folk four-piece Ålesund, who are relaunching (previously ALBA) later this month (24th Feb) with a special show at St John the Baptist church. Get to know about them below and catch the show details here.
When did you start making music?
As a band we started making music about three years ago…We all come from various musical back grounds, and our singer Alba had been looking for the right fit of musicians since moving to Bristol from Brighton.
How would you describe your music?
Atmospheric, emotive and immersive. We all really inject our emotions into the music especially the live performances and we really hope it carries through the music as it is so personal to us.
Who are your main influences and how have they helped in shaping your sound?
Our shared passion for Radiohead and reverbs!
What are your thoughts on the Bristol music scene at the moment?
Our singer Alba moved to Bristol for the music scene….it always amazes us how many gigs/events/festivals are on offer. The diversity and talent is pretty impressive.
Also, I think what is so nice is the community of musicians that have gravitated here, it doesn't matter what genre or style you play, people support each other in Bristol.
What's next for you? Any shows/releases planned?
We have been busy over this winter tracking 4 songs for an EP and a cover of Radiohead's 'Talkshow Host' a b-side from Bad Luhrmann's adaptation of 'Romeo and Juliet'. We shot a music video for this in St Thomas the Martyr Church, Bristol with Blacklight Productions. We are hosting our own show Saturday 24th February at St John the Baptist Church in Bristol. Alongside ourselves we have Hannah Nicholson, Brook Tate and Gina Leonard performing so we are all really excited for that!

Tomica time, Land of the Rising Sun-day is here again. Even with the chaos of the Sale of the Century, I am able to produce a review (as I took the pics ages ago). This is Tomica 76-1, the Nissan Cedric wagon, in road service emergency vehicle livery. This casting entered the range in October 1972, and remained until May 1976. It is a good representation of Tomica products during the "old wheel" era:
Tomica made a number of variants - both service and civilian - based on the Cedric wagon casting, this one might be the most specific and detailed, as it has twin lights and paper decals. Scale is a claimed 1:65, likely accurate. The casting has plenty of fine casting line detail, names cast in the license plates, and proportions look exact. This model only exists with old wheels, as it predates button wheels. Front doors don't open (the rear hatch opens), but it still has the crisp glazing and springy suspension we know and love about old Tomica. From all angles, it is a nice model:
Front and rear have similar quality detail:
The opening hatch provides a lot of play value for this casting:
The base is metal (note is numbered 47 - the standard Cedric casting, variants received their own number), as standard for the era, with some detail and plenty of heft:
This example is lucky enough to live in its original black box:
This is definitely a model I am glad to have in my collection. I like Tomica wagon castings, and have a few variants of the Cedric. This is also a relatively affordable casting, which is always welcome, given the high cost of vintage Tomica:
A few 1:1s from ozdat.com - hard to find an exact car, as apparently the real vehicle used numerous grille styles, and something like this would not have a high survival rate:

Around noon on Thursday, Greg Horton was out for a walk in London's Springbank Park when he heard yelling in the distance.
"We saw this man seated on the swing and he was very clearly upset," said the recreational therapist. "A lot of yelling and it seemed like he was hitting himself."
Noticing a number of concerned parents at the park, Horton called 911 and told the dispatcher there was a man having a mental health crisis at the park.
"I didn't want it to get to the point where people were thinking he was dangerous. He might have just been having the worst day of his life."
Horton sat down at a nearby picnic table and waited until a police officer arrived a short time later. What happened next took him by such surprise that he took a photo to capture the moment. Horton said the officer spoke to the man for about 30 minutes, slowly inching closer.
"And as the conversation drew on, the cop kind of sat at a swing closer and closer until he was right beside the person."
It was only when the man had calmed down that a couple of other officers arrived, only approaching the pair when it seemed appropriate. In the end, Horton said the man got up and walked away with the officers. "It was really nice to see, especially with all the media that's kind of negative towards the police."

Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes. With roasted fresh pumpkin as its base, this easy-to-make soup is accented with sage and spice. Notes: You can make the soup through step 3 up to 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Reheat over medium heat, covered, stirring often.
How to Make It
Trim and discard root end and tough dark green tops from leek. Slice leek in half lengthwise and rinse well, flipping layers under cool running water to remove dirt. Slice thinly crosswise.

Add broth, Mashed Pumpkin, apple cider, apple, ginger, sage, cinnamon, and allspice; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Whirl soup, a portion at a time, in a blender (holding lid down with a towel) until puréed, and pour into a bowl. Return all soup to pan and stir often over high heat until hot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup crème frâiche or sour cream and lemon peel. Ladle soup into bowls or mugs. Garnish with a dollop of crème frâiche.

Allison+Partners plants flag in Germany
The MDC Partners agency has established a presence in the German market by acquiring Berlin- and Munich-based agency Higher Ground communications, it said Tuesday morning, making Allison the latest firm to move into the country. Edelman and Golin made moves to create footprints there in recent months. Higher Ground will drop its branding, but its principals will stay on with Allison.
Clinton clinches Democratic nomination
Hillary Clinton reached the delegate threshold needed to claim the Democratic nomination for president on Monday night, according to counts by the Associated Press, CNN, and other media. Bernie Sanders' camp criticized the press for a "rush to judgement." Insiders are questioning how the news will affect turnout in the six primaries happening today, most notably in New Jersey and California. While many Sanders supporters are angry at the media, their candidate is softening his tone about his post-Tuesday plans.
Another executive change at Twitter
Twitter product head Jeff Seibert has exited that role, according to Recode, which reports he is instead managing Twitter's product development suite, Fabric. The company does not have a full-time replacement in line for Seibert, who was the fourth person in the role since 2014.
Edelman debuts public affairs platform
The agency's global public affairs practice rolled out Edelman Edge, a research and analysis tool designed to give clients local insight into international public affairs issues. The firm says the tool is "built on local expertise and knowledge" and will give clients insight into 25 political, economic, social, and cultural drivers.
Trump campaign struggles with Trump University response
Donald Trump told surrogates to respond forcefully to attacks on his comments about the judge in the Trump University case, demanding they call members of the media and other critics racists, according to contents of a Monday conference call leaked to Bloomberg. Trump's statements that a federal judge's Mexican-American background means he has a conflict of interest in the case have put fellow Republicans in a tough spot, having to criticize his comments but defend their support for their party's presumptive nominee.

Last week we took delivery of our first Tramper – an off-road mobility scooter. Not only will it allow me to get around the site where otherwise I needed a car, but it can be available for others whose mobility is limited.
Whether visiting a loved one laid to rest here, or coming for a funeral, with enough notice and preparation, we can have the Tramper onsite for you. We'll give a short lesson in how to use it, and then leave you to explore. If the person needing it can't manage to operate it, it is also possible for someone to walk slowly alongside and operate it for them.
It doesn't take away the bumps, and it isn't foolproof, but if driven gently and slowly it can take all the way to the far side of the nature reserve those who haven't managed to get there before. For those who are a little wobbly on their legs, as I am, this extra help is a real joy. Pausing for a quiet moment, with a very different view before us, a very different perspective on the landscape, can be so enormously valuable.

Run DOS Applications Through A GUI Interface With DOSShell
The difficult nature of DOS can be quite a problem if you want to run a DOS application in a modern operating system. You can use DOSBox How To Play DOS Games Under Windows XP Read More as an emulator, but this approach also has problems because you still have to use the DOS interface. If you want to be able to download and run DOS applications straight from your GUI operating system – no DOS involved – you'll need another program called DOSShell.
Getting Starting With DOSShell
DOSShell is a program which assists DOSBox. It is not a DOS emulator itself, so if you try to download and run programs simply by using DOSShell it just won't work. The first thing you should do then, is go to the DOSBox website and download that program. Then download and install DOSShell.
Once you have both programs installed, you'll need to connect DOSShell with DOSBox in order to make programs work. You can do this by going to Edit > Preferences. This will open a menu, at the top of which is the DOSBox Folder Path field. Click Browse and navigate to the main installation folder of DOSBox. You just need to point DOSShell to the folder, not a specific file.
While we're here, let's deal with a few other settings. There are three checkbox options.
- The first is for running programs in fullscreen. This is on by default, but I suggest you disable this option. Most DOS software runs at a much lower resolution than your computer monitor.
- The Hide Console option is off by default, which means that the DOSBox window will also open in the background when you run a program through DOSShell. Turning on Hide Console means you won't see DOXBox at all.
- The last option lets you decide if you'd like to also close DOSBox when you close a program running through DOSShell. This option is turned on by default, and I suggest you leave it that way unless you actually want to use DOSBox.
Running An Application In DOSShell
Once you have connected DOSShell to DOSBox you need to add an application if you want to run it. I'm going to use a game in my example, but any sort of DOS program can be used with DOSShell.
The first thing you need to do is add a new entry into DOSShell. This can be done by clicking on the green addition icon in the upper left hand corner of the program.
The Name and Group fields can be filled with whatever you'd like. They will be used to categorize your application, however, so its best to make sure they make sense. If you run Games, put them into the Games group, for example. The Group selection will create a new tab in DOSShell so that you can organize your applications based on their use.
The Path to Executable field is where you need to point DOSShell to the program you want to run. Click on the "…" button to open explorer and then find the executable file you've downloaded. In some cases, you may need to first point to the INSTALL file to run the DOS installation and then point to the executable file after install is complete.
Path to Icon is where you tell DOSShell what icon you'd like your application to be represented by. This is a GUI, after all! You can pick any icon you'd like or create your own with GIMP or another image editor. The Description section can be ignored or used to provide a summary of what the program is. When you're done, click OK.
At this point you can just double-click the icon to run the program. Again, if your DOS application does not require installation, great! You're done.
When you double click the icon the program will start. You will see an orange screen appear, which is the DOSBox loader. The DOSBox interface may briefly appear, but your program will launch momentarily.
DOSShell really makes using DOS programs easier. I sometimes want to play DOS games, but I hate having to mess with DOS itself. DOSShell lets you run DOS programs without ever having to deal with the frustrating command line interface.

China's economy reported 7.6 percent of growth in the second quarter, the lowest since the first quarter of 2009 when the global financial crisis was rampant, amid concerns about the slow-down of the second-largest in the world and the strongest one in the major economies.
The National Bureau of Statistics said on Friday that in the first half, the country's economy grew by 7.8 percent to 22.71 trillion yuan ($3.56 trllion). The growth in the first quarter was 8.1 percent.
It is the lowest growth in the past 13 quarters.
China's manufacturing, foreign trade and investment have been slowing down this year, triggering worries about a hard landing of its economy, whose role is more important as the eurozone is still struggling with the debt crisis, the US is still on the way to recover and emerging economies such as India and Brazil are also slowing down.
China's central bank has cut the interest rates twice this year to stabilize the growth. Premier Wen Jiabao also vowed to maintain a stable economy in recent visits in the nation and major conferences.
Leo Abruzzese, global forecasting director at the Economist Intelligence Unit which conducts extensive research on China's economy, thinks the Chinese government's trying to slow down the economy is also a way to cope with the global economy when both Europe and the US are experiencing financial problems.
"If the (Chinese) government were to stimulate the economy hugely the way it did a few years ago, that probably would be the worst thing they could do," said Abruzzese, adding stimulus should be done moderately.
China's growth has been relying on foreign investments and exports, says Abruzzese, adding the Chinese government should drive more domestic consumption.
"China has to get to the point where the consumers in China need to start consuming more. It has to start re-balancing the economy. China is not a wealthy country but it is a middle-class country right now, too," said Abruzzese. "The Chinese government needs to start creating more social safety programs, more social insurance programs, where people then won't feel they need to save quite as much as they do."
Derek Scissors, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, said China has raised the average of world growth in almost every year of the reform period. It can contribute more to world growth by rebalancing the economy away from investment and toward consumption.
"If China's GDP growth slows but it also rebalances, that is a much greater contribution to the world economy than fast, unbalanced growth," he said.
Scissors expected China to announce GDP growth of 8.2 percent for the full year of 2012.
"However, the days of announcing 10 percent growth or higher are over. For a few years, the range is likely to be 7 to 8.5 percent, then it may get slower. This is natural," he said.
However, Sebastian Mallaby, director of the Center for Geoeconomic Studies, believed China will deliver further fiscal stimulus, both to support its own growth and to contribute to global demand.
"At a time when the eurozone is in trouble, US fiscal stimulus has been pushed as far as it can be, and growth is weak in Japan, India, Brazil and other important economies, the world needs stimulatory policies from major economies that have a strong enough financial position to deliver them safely. China should lead in this respect," he said.
Abruzzese said "a little less saving and a little more spending" would be better for China's and the world's economy.
"China's economy is strong but it's a little bit distorted. When China starts to buy more, everybody else will be a little happier, too," he said.
Abruzzese believed the Chinese government's recent moves of cutting the interest rates shows the country is being more integrated and more involved in the global economy.
"China realizes that it is no longer a minor player (in global economy). If everybody else is taking steps to try to shore up the global economy, so is China by cutting interest rates."
Central banks in different countries have been cutting interest rates recently. China, in particular, has cut interest rates twice in June and July. The moves were seen as unexpected because the People's Bank of China had not cut interest rates since 2008. China's benchmark lending rates were lowered to 6 percent, and deposit rates were down to 3 percent after the second cut.
Both the European Central Bank and Brazil's central bank have also cut their interest rates last week and this week to kick start the slow economy.

My art part 1
So I said I would throw up some of my art on here. This is probably one of the influential on me. Was the first one that didn't have a generalized goal in mind. It's surrealism and encompasses how I was feeling at a certain time frame in my life. If you look closely you can see I dunno homework or something in the background. I could tell you about all of the symbolism that I sewed into the page but honestly what good would that do? It's "art" and one may interpret it as they will because art has no defined meaning for a piece. I'm very against art schools in general for grading and criticizing young artists.
Basically to me what art is, is the feeling that the artist has at the time expressed in words, paint, crayons or digital programs. You put a little part of yourself into your work a little bit of your soul because you want people to see who you were when you made it. You can teach technique, you can teach perfection, drill it into someones head. But the ability to express ones soul cannot be taught or learned, it is something that must be found deep inside all of us.
I don't consider somethings to be "art" but if we're starving dogs what's next? I can see where someone would say that it's art in a morbid kind of way but it opens a new can of worms, I might not like it but I understand the perspective. But I cant help thinking that is this "new age" art gets its way people could be fighting in roman arenas again all in the name of art.

Ok, so I realize that the fact that the kids' bedroom is FINALLY done is not a big deal to anyone but me (including my husband and my kids). But it's done and it's consumed my life since Mother's Day weekend when we put up the bunk beds and moved the kids in together. I had all these ideas, mostly thanks to Pinterest, and I learned a lot of fun new things. For example, I LOVE adhesive spray. LOVE IT. It's fabulous. If you have never used it, find a reason to use it and buy some. Recovering boring white lamp shades is simple with a little adhesive spray. I also learned how to make lined curtains. Not a fun project but I'm glad I know how to do it (and using $5 Walmart flat white sheets makes a great and cheap lining for the curtains).
Ok…time for some pictures. Here's the view from the door:
Figuring out a color scheme for a shared boy/girl room was tricky. I didn't want it to be too girly or too masculine. I found this geometric elephant fabric at fabrics.com (love this website for fabric…great prices, great selection) and loved it. I was really into the chartreuse green and candy pink that seems to be a lot of places this year. Target was really into green and white chevron strip this year and made my dream of having cute under the bed baskets a reality. The toys are now confined to two baskets under the bed per kid. Heaven! (I hate toy clutter.) The brown quilts and shams were tricky to find. I searched EVERYWHERE for brown quilts with matching shams and finally ended up finding them online at Walmart of all places!
Next…wall art fun! A Pinterest idea…silhouettes of elephants (found online) cut out of scrapbook paper, mounted on more scrapbook paper, and then framed. Easy peasy.
On to the art wall. I wanted to give the kids a place to hang their creations but wasn't sure I had room for a corkboard. I found these wood plaques at JoAnn's for under $2 each, painted them, glued a clip onto them, and VOILA! And the little shelves under the art wall make me so happy. Molly's basket is pink, Owen's is green, and they each get to put whatever little toys they'd like to keep in their room in the basket. No more toy clutter in this room! And the lampshade…remember when I mentioned adhesive spray? Love the stuff.
I'd also been wanting to do something fun with embroidery hoops and colorful fabric. Owen's wall above his dresser needed a little more life, and the embroidery hoops made it more exciting. I'm now obsessed with embroidery hoops on the wall and want to put them all over my house.
I needed a place in the room to hang the kids' baby pictures, and I think they work over the bookshelf. When our kids were born, I've had our visitors sign the frame's mat. I always love reading back over who visited us in the hospital.
One more pic…Molly's dresser. You can't see very well in this picture, but I was so excited when I found these knobs for the dresser at Hobby Lobby. They are black with hot pink dots, and black with bright green dots. Perfect for this room. And it's fun seeing my little girl using the dresser I used in college. Great Goodwill find all those years ago.
And that's pretty much it! It was fun to do, but with only 9 weeks left until the baby arrives, it's time to get started on the nursery. It's been over three years since our last baby was born and I barely even remember what we have. But I'm so glad that my big kids have a fun room to call their own since their lives are about to change forever!

I am just waiting for Liam to finish his "breakfast" and then we are going to the Market Outlet to pick up vegetables, fruits and eggs and then to the grocery store. I like this market, not just because the produce is local this time of year, but because it is so much less expensive and better quality than the grocery store. Then we will go to the grocery store and get the rest of the stuff.
We're planning on going to see the Star Trek movie this afternoon and then I will prep and meal plan for the week. Nice, easy, day.
It occurred to me as I was making my shake this morning that one of the reasons I like eating this way is because I don't have to measure and weigh my food. If I stick to whole foods and cut out the wheat and sugar, it's very hard to overeat carrots and strawberries. Yes, I know its possible, but these are not the type of foods that "I can't stop" or "I'll have just one more" with. As well, with the sugar and wheat gone, there are no wild blood sugar swings and cravings and I have actually over the last week, a few times.......wait for it.....forgotten to eat!
It does take some planning. For example, last night I thought I would be ok until around 9 when Liam got home from work to have dinner, but by 7 I found myself wanting "something". Sure enough my blood sugar was low and the easy fix is something sweet or bready. But I made myself a small snack of walnuts, goat cheese and a drizzle of honey and it was enough to see me through til dinner. I wanted to have a handful of crackers or chips or cookies, but I stopped and thought first.
I'll check back in later!

What are the coordinates of theory? This is a question that has been pressing itself on me for some time now. I ask the question not least because I find myself in an ever more hostile political and epistemological environment in which the backlash against theory has not only taken up its place in those 'post-theoretical' rhetorics of well known well-trodden high-profile debates (Eagleton, et al) but the backlash has become absolutely generalised: to theorise, it now seems, is to leave oneself open to the distinction of mere crass generalisation.
I am, to be sure, perplexed by the wholesale academic abandonment of theory in my own discipline. But it is not localised there, of course. My discipline's falling out of love with theory is, inevitably, a falling out of love with the idea of thought as having a kind of 'power' as Simon Critchley has put it. For some, the decline of philosophy into theory is the beginning of the problem, but for me that moment marked a particular fecundity in the idea that the given-ness of the world is available to radical question.
In a recent presentation to my own department, a rather
surly and unfocussed 'question' (I use the word most generously here) from a
colleague raised the question as to my own location in the theoretical edifice I
was trying to elucidate: his intervention was based, it seemed to me, on the erroneous
notion that any theoretical observation must begin from an obsessive empirical
elaboration of the speaker's voice in it, as if to defuse from the start any claim it might therefore be
able to make to having any effect on the world around it. I was 'cherry picking'
my examples, I was trying to negate my own investment in the world. The
question was followed by an incomprehensible testament to the 'reality' of
political action in Greece
This kind of question, and many like it, rather than seeking to engage the world in a radicalising way (in developing . that is a strong trajectory) points to a certain poverty in our ambition in engaging the world: we are prisoners of the new Taleban of empiricism. Theory is the blasphemy that questions the reality principle, that will not quieten its distrustful mutterings about ideology and unspoken truths.
Theory is, I have always believed, and believe it even more strongly than ever, precisely about a turning towards the world, a head-on tackling of the brutal and deadly challenges it poses and a wilful nay-saying to the grey orthodoxy of detail, of historicism and of ethnography.
These, then, are the dealiest of orthodoxies, because they live and breath as if they were in touch with the world, as if the deadening quagmire of its passive avoidance of ideology critique were in some sense a priveleged site from which to get close to the world. This is mere sophistry. Theory requires always that the world be not taken as if presented, but as always already mispresented, as hidden, coded, displaced and and misaligned through the supreme act of hegemony. There is no common sense other than the sense of dying, of giving oneself up to the world in a kind of masochistic play of representations. What theory does, at its best, is not merely show this, but relive it, dramatise it. Make it palpable. Theory is materialism.

Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Thomas Eagan said the film is "likely to hit $85 million-$90 million total," making the firm "more likely to increase its fiscal-year 2007 ... free cash flow guidance" of $85 million. Lionsgate shares rose 0.3% on Monday to $10.09. During the past year, the stock has traded between $7.47-$10.52. Verizon Q3 profit upTelecom giant Verizon Communications posted a larger-than-expected third-quarter profit increase, but shares were under pressure as investors expressed concern about higher costs from a risky push into video services. Verizon said its FiOS video and related services rollout has so far been more costly than expected thanks in part to higher-than-projected cable programming content and customer acquisition costs. As a result, FiOS will reduce Verizon's 2006 per-share profit by an additional 2 cents, the company said. It added a net of 63,000 FiOS TV customers in the third quarter to reach 118,000. Penetration of the service now stands at 10% across all markets, and it was available to 1.2 million as of the end of the quarter, Verizon said. Yahoo! earns upgradeMerrill Lynch analyst Juston Post on Monday upgraded shares of Yahoo! Inc. from "neutral" to "buy," citing the stock's big decline this year. "Down 35% year-to-date, Yahoo! is at an attractive entry point entering a seasonally strong holiday period and in-front of a two-year search monetization upgrade cycle," he wrote in a report. Post's 12-month price target on the stock is $32. Yahoo! shares closed up 2.4% on Monday at $25.95. During the past 52 weeks, it has traded between $22.65-$43.66.

Working from my studio near Lewes at the edge of the South Downs I work almost exclusively with original vintage fabrics and in particular cotton barkcloths from the 1930s- 1960s. Lampshades are a wonderful medium for bringing them back to their former glory and show off the artistry of the patterns.

Hi,I'm working on telephony features in new house that is based on LMCE... I have 3 entry points in telephony : doorphone, GSM incoming line, and IP telephony. I will probably describe how to do such setup soon, but currently I'm trying to get/test video capabilities of current system.I use 2 x-lite clients (thanks for recomendation from Andrew). Since video telephony is not supported on Orbiter phones, I'm trying to do it with windows clients (it would be nice to be able to make video call from work to home office with x-lite clients on both sides)...In near future, I also sincerely hope, that we will be able to get video telephony going on embedded Orbiter phones (they are based on linphone already, and newer version of LinPhone supports Video !!!!)...But in the mean time, I play with window clients, and I spot that video is transferred only in one direction - only from calling party to end point and not vice versa...I have also posted to asterisk mailing list, but maybe there are also some experienced Asterisk guys in here....Any advice, hint ?Thanks in advance,regards,Bulek.I have done following :2 x-lite clients :[201]username=201type=friendsecret=LMCE!201record_out=Adhocrecord_in=Adhocqualify=yesport=5060nat=nevermailbox=201@devicehost=dynamicdtmfmode=rfc2833disallow=allcontext=from-internalcanreinvite=nocallerid=device <201>allow=ulawallow=alawallow=gsmallow=h263allow=h263p[204]username=204type=friendsecret=LMCE!204record_out=Adhocrecord_in=Adhocqualify=yesport=5060nat=nevermailbox=204@devicehost=dynamicdtmfmode=rfc2833disallow=allcontext=from-internalcanreinvite=nocallerid=device <204>allow=ulawallow=alawallow=gsmallow=h263allow=h263psip.conf :; Note: If your SIP devices are behind a NAT and your Asterisk; server isn't, try adding "nat=1" to each peer definition to; solve translation problems.[general]port = 5060 ; Port to bind to (SIP is 5060)bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 ; Address to bind to (all addresses on machine)disallow=allallow=ulawallow=alawcontext = from-sip-external ; Send unknown SIP callers to this contextcallerid = Unknownvideosupport=yes ; enable Asterisk video support #include sip_nat.conf#include sip_custom.conf#include sip_additional.conf

Sunday 3rd March- Surrey Sports Park
Surrey Heat put a poor February behind them with an 87-78 victory over Cheshire Phoenix as they look to march towards a top-four finish.
Despite his side's first win in five league games, Creon Raftopoulos was not overwhelmed by Surrey's display, particularly on the defensive end:
"We're happy to get the victory but I'm not thrilled by the performance against an under-manned Cheshire team. We need to get back to play and playing good defence for the whole game and not just in spurts like today," said Heat's head-coach.
The visiting Phoenix were once again without Chez Marks and Jerome Gumbs but their player-coach Matt Lloyd was pleased with how his depleted side coped. Gabe Haskins, Shawn Myers, Stuart Thomson and Chris Pearce all played the full 40 minutes while Alif Bland only sat out for 1:25 due to foul trouble.
Lloyd said: "We did a great job considering we were missing our two leading scorers and by playing hard we managed to stay with them throughout. There's been some really good performances of late, against Newcastle and Leicester, but it was tough with Jerome (Gumbs) being ill and Chez (Marks) family bereavement and our thoughts are with him and his family."
Bland opened the game with a block on Chavis Holmes but Cheshire's offence was slow to get going and it was the home side who rushed out to a 7-2 start. However, Haskins scored seven points including a triple to cap a 12-0 run to force Raftopoulos into a time-out. His side responded with the final six points of the quarter but they still trailed 14-13.
The lead crept back up to seven points as Bland took his tally to 11 points early on in the second before Surrey compiled a pivotal 17-1 tear to take control. Frank Holmes added six points during the run to join Travis on 10 points at half-time where they led 38-32 after a deep three from Haskins ending the second quarter scoring.
When play resumed, Surrey strenghtened their grip on the game with the first ten points of the third before Pearce ended Cheshire's baron start to the second half with a 3-pointer almost three and a minutes into the quarter. Albert Margai and Thomson traded scores from beyond the arc as the gap peaked at 17 points before the 'Nix rallied for a 10-2 run which contained a spectacular tip-in dunk from Myers from a missed free throw from Thomson. A late steal and dunk from Pearce gave Cheshire hope of victory as they were down 63-54 heading into the final quarter.
Julius Joseph took over at the start of the fourth with a personal 9-2 run to take his points tally to 20 as the hosts increased their lead to 18 points for the first time. Once again, Cheshire continued to battle and gradually begin to reduce their arrears with Thomson beginning to get hot from long range. The former Worcester and Manchester forward struck twice from downtown in a 10-2 burst for the visitors to haul Cheshire to within 6 points at 82-76 with 1:34 left. It was as close as they were to get as Surrey ran down the clock before ending the game with 3/4 successful free throws to seal the victory.
Frank Holmes and namesake Travis top scored for Surrey with 22 points each while Joseph contributed a vital 20 point haul in just over 21 minutes of action off the bench. Chavis Holmes dished out 12 assists with Raftopoulos happy with how his point guards 'controlled the game'. Haskins was the orchestrator for Phoenix and collected 20 points via a number of well executed shots. Bland (19pts/13rbs) and Myers (14pts/13rbs) contributed double-doubles while Thomson made 4-8 from 3-PT range on his way to 16 points.
The teams meet twice again this month in a spell Creon has targeted as a chance to push for a top four finish.
Raftopoulos said: "We've targeted this mini-series as important to push on for the top four spot. The way the system is, I don't mind what position we finish in as long as we have momentum going into he play-offs and hopefully we can kick on now Travis (Holmes) is getting back in the flow of things."
NEXT UP: HEAT– @ Newcastle 08/03/13; v Mersey 10/03/13; v Leicester 16/03/13. PHOENIX– v Worcester 10/03/13; @ Sheffield 15/03/13; v Surrey 17/03/13.
Surrey should beat Mersey but face a tough trip to Newcastle beforehand before hosting the league leaders in 2 weeks time. 1 win in 3 most likely. Cheshire have a tough run-in but four of their last six games are at home and that could be key to getting into the play-offs. If they get Marks and Gumbs back soon then they could surprise the Wolves or Heat at home whilst travelling to Sheffield for a massive game. Again, I win in 3 is probably most likely.
There were only three other games in the league this weekend with Newcastle kicking off the action on Friday with an emphatic 100-57 win on the road against Mersey to tie Leicester on points. On Sunday, Glasgow claimed outright third place with an 88-66 win over Durham, who saw their play-off hopes fade. The final game was a key play-off clash and London Lions came out the victors beating Trophy finalists Sheffield, 86-78 to move six points clear of the Sharks. Rod Brown made an impressive debut for the London side with 15 points and nine assists following his recent move from the Plymouth Raiders.

Amazon has inked a deal with Best Buy where the latter will be responsible for exclusively selling Amazon Fire-Edition TVs. This was disclosed by the chief executive officer of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and the chief executive officer of Best Buy, Hubert Joly.
In summer the electronics retailer will start selling over ten 4K and high definition Fire TV models from the in-house brand of Best Buy, Insignia, as well as from Toshiba. The television sets will come with a built-in Amazon Fire TV and this will allow users to search and watch broadcast TV. Additionally users will also be in a position of watching shows from online streaming services such as Hulu, PlayStation Vue, HBO, Prime Video and Netflix.
Voice commands
The television sets will also come with a remote that is voice-activated with Amazon's voice-enabled assistant, Alexa. Thus it will be possible to pair the remote with Echo devices and consequently users will be able to issue voice commands rather than having to physically control the remote.
According to Bezos the agreement between the two companies will give convenience and simplicity to consumers. Besides the brick and mortar stores of Best Buy the Fire Edition Insignia TVs will be available on BestBuy.com. The electronics retailer will also sell the TVs on Amazon as a third party.
This is not the first time that Amazon and Best Buy are collaborating as they also partnered with regards to the Amazon Kindle reader. At the moment around 700 Best Buy retail outlets have a showcase table for Alexa where demonstrations on how Alexa works are done.
Product companies
"What's new in this partnership is the depths of the physical integration between the software and the hardware, between the two companies working together — specifically, the two companies are retailers, but they're also product companies," saidJoly.
This comes in the wake of Bezos disclosed in a letter to shareholders that the number of Amazon Prime subscribers has risen above 100 million. Prime subscribers either pay a monthly or an annual fee and in return they get shipping services, free online storage for photos and access to Amazon's entertainment content that's streamed online. For a long time the number of Prime subscribers has been a closely held secret and analysts have had to depending on estimates derived from shopper surveys. In the shareholder letter Bezos also disclosed that there were more members joining Prime in 2017 compared to any other year in the program's history.

Emergency socks were required after the heavens opened this morning, but enough of that, the videos from Sunday are up!
Heat 1: John Cochrane (6:25)
I initiated a late early jump (i.e. getting bugger all advantage from the bank) then a straight drag race that for me was all about getting in front and dropping back into the lane before turn 3/4. Win.
Heat 2: Ed Osborne (6:36)
There's a moment around 7:20, Ed has dived for the lane, I've seen it and drop to cut him off, the question is, did I do so legally? The problem is the tent obscures the action. I think it's safe to say Ed hit the lane first, but I'm still unsure if there was room when I got there. With extra speed he was soon underneath me, and there was an awkward moment where I gave him the lane, hesitated then kicked from outside. From there on it was a repeat of the last race. Win.
Heat 3: Gary Jackson (4:02)
I lead out, but Gary quickly takes it for himself, I don't yet have a preference for either so let it go. My one wish is for a short race, I'm guaranteed a finals berth regardless of the result (loss would mean 3v4, win is 1x2), and really really just want as little effort as possible. I sit slightly off the back, giving myself a nice gap to work into should Gary jump, and the speed increases, Gary wants me off the bank, I want the extra height, so the speed increases. When we finally begin the sprint proper into turn 1, there's not much of a kick and i'm forced to basically go the long way home. I can remember somewhere between turn 3 and 4 worrying that I wasn't going to get over the top but that the roll off the bank or the state of Gary's legs led to a smidge more speed to the line. Win.
1v2 Final: Jae Castles (6:05)
The final, I wanted to be on the front, so kept low/in the lane to ensure Jae couldn't dive under, eventually I was drawn up the track to get better control. As I said the other day, my plan was to have a 2nd kick under Jae into the final corner. 7:53 everything is going to plan. By 7:55 I have lost the race, I wasnt going hard enough and had no information about how hard Jae was going. The lulz occur at 8:07.

"Without justice there is no peace; peace is the effect of justice "(Isaiah 32:17)
Given the pardon granted by the Peruvian government to former President Alberto Fujimori, who had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for crimes against humanity during the internal armed conflict, we the undersigned, leaders of evangelical organizations and churches of various countries around the world, declare the following:
1. We express our deep concern that the improper granting of the pardon to Mr. Alberto Fujimori has caused not only a political crisis but also a setback in the process of an authentic reconciliation that allows for the healing of wounds and an integral reparation of the victims.
2. We believe that this pardon does not contribute to the process of national reconciliation because it turns its back on the victims and because it is the product of apparent pact of impunity. We believe that without sincere repentance and without meeting the expectation of justice and reparation for those whose rights were trampled an authentic reconciliation cannot exist and cannot be achieved.
3. We join the voices and actions of people and organizations of civil society, including those of our brothers and sisters from a number of churches in Peru, who demand a true process of reconciliation based on justice, truth and respect for the dignity of all Peruvians, in particular the people and families who suffered the insanity of terror and violence.
4. We salute the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that, in the framework of a public hearing to be held on February 2 in San José, Costa Rica in order to monitor compliance with their rulings in the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta cases, will analyze the pardon granted to Alberto Fujimori. We pray that the magistrates of the Court have the necessary wisdom to resolve this petition with justice, helping to correct the damage caused.
This letter was written by evangelical leaders in Peru and is endorsed by Micah Global

In the desert nearly everywhere you easily risk to loose your way in a more or less forbidden zone vanished in the unpredictable stream of time. Here or there does not really matter distinctively because a lost place like this offers a special poetry of past developments and decay, sometimes a bit dangerous but in any case thrilling and amazing.
Since the times of the Romantic people are fascinated by such forgotten locations like old church ruins or dilapidated castles scattered over the countries. Certainly these are objects and artefacts without use, hence not useless at all while this confrontation with the past opens a wide space for dreams of another future.
The deindustrialization of modern metropoles has nowadays created a lot of postmodern ruins like closed factories from the 19th century or no longer required railway facilities. But nature covers again very quickly also former military installations with impenetrable thickets and trees. Legacies of former inhabitants and colorful tags of passers-by can there be found anyway.
By first glance such places seem to be a dead-end leading to nowhere and it takes some energy to find a secure path sometimes, however astonishingly people leave even here professions of profound love in a wild maze of pure neglection.
Thanks for following this short expedition to the contemporary abysmal maelstroms of daily life – to be continued.

Ancient Scotland
The marriage of Scotland and England, the merging of land masses from two continental plates, was not easy. For years beyond counting land formed and reformed, volcanic eruptions creating Scottish islands and mountain ranges.
With Scotland and England joined, in a time before the nations had their own names, England became habitable whilst Scotland was covered in ice. Scotland's ice melted to reveal a vast, inhospitable land peopled by high mountain ranges, acres of forest and deep inland waters.
The people of Scotland were not bred to the land but came to it - as adventurers, as voyagers, as families searching for a new and better life. Those who braved the far northern lands came initially in small numbers, living off the land, moving with the seasons.
The first Scottish settlement that has left evidence of ancient man is Cramond near Edinburgh, where relics from around 8500 BC have been found. Spoils of excavation include stone tools and hazelnut shells. It is believed that Cramond housed a campsite rather than permanent dwellings, allowing its people the freedom to move on to new and richer lands.
Hazelnut shells, carbon dated to c7500 BC, were found on the Isle of Rum in the mid-1980s. There is evidence of a basic living structure consisting of poles and animal skins that could have been used for storage and as a living area. The islands of Colonsay, Islay, Jura and Skye have between them yielded evidence of habitation between 7000 and 6000 BC.
Stone dwellings, with settled societies, appeared thousands of years later. Skara Brae in Orkney has a settlement of ruined houses thought to have been used for several hundred years between 3500 and 2500 BC. Each house, built of stone slabs, has a hearth, a dresser and beds; the houses are linked by covered passages. The site, arguably the best preserved Neolithic village in Europe from this time period, was discovered in 1850 when storms tore away tightly packed earth that had protected the houses.
Stone circles were raised between 2900 and 2000 BC, including the Callanish Stones on Lewis and the Ring of Brodgar on Orkney – huge architectural achievements whose creation would have needed vision, inspiration and planning.
Scotland's early history resides in its land - written records started when the Romans invaded. Scotland's early people shared a large and rich land, and they honoured the space they had been given with monuments that have withstood the test of time.
