CTMH July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop
This card is extra special to me because it is made in honor of my friend Melinda. (We taught French together when we were beginning teachers many moons ago, so I had to share some herisson- or hedgehog- love with her!) Melinda's a 40-year-old mom of two precious little girls and is going through a really hard time right now. Please say a prayer for her and her family as she fights cancer for the 2nd time! (You can read her story HERE.)
To create this little darling, I placed the three hedgehog stamps and the butterfly along the bottom of the card front, then picked them up with my block, inked them in Chocolate ink, and stamped them all at once. Easy peasy!
Next, I used my CTMH chalks and my favorite applicator, Q-tips, to color the scene. Coloring with chalk is so incredibly easy! Just keep your chalk eraser at hand in case you get a little crazy and too much chalk goes where you don't want it. It cleans up easily.
Finally, I finished the card with two bands of Zippidee patterned paper across the top, and then added the sentiment on a piece of torn Cranberry card stock (also from the Zippidee paper pack). A knot of Colonial White ribbon finished up this card.
Thanks for hopping by! Go check out the rest of the hop by clicking to Wanda's blog next.

You know how sometimes the ridiculously simple can be stunningly good – this little recipe fits that description. I can't give you exact measurements because this is definitely one that is defined by your individual taste and appetite. Bottom line though, it's a gorgeous little indulgent lunch or starter that you can knock out in no time and will knock your socks off! This version of poaching an egg is also fabulous, creates no washing up and is failsafe (dare I say it!)
Serves 1
What you need…
A few slices of Parma Ham, up to you; it depends how much you fancy
A few asparagus spears, again as much as you fancy
1 Large Egg
Parmesan, grated, again the amount depends on your taste
Sea salt and black pepper
What to do…
On your worktop, layout out one 30cm square piece of cling film. Lay another, the same size on top. (The size is a rough guide). Rub a teaspoon of olive oil all over the middle of the top piece. Pick up the double cling film layers gently push into a teacup. Break your egg into the cling film and then pick up the corners and edges of the cling film layers and tie in a knot so that you egg is in a little cling film bundle. Pop into a saucepan of boiling water, turn down the heat to medium and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
Take the asparagus and cut the hard ends off (usually about half of the spear) and pop them into a separate shallow pan of boiling, salted water. Boil for about 4 minutes – test one to see if it's cooked to your liking. Drain in a colander.
Arrange the Parma ham and cooked asparagus on a plate.
Cut your poached egg 'bundle' just below the knot and tip the egg out onto the Parma ham and asparagus.
Season with Parmesan, salt and pepper. Break open the egg and watch with delight as the yolk dribbles all over the asparagus and ham. For maximum enjoyment, try a bit of everything with each forkful. Serve with toasted Italian bread – Pane Pugliese (very crispy). Altogether poached egg with asparagus and Parma ham can be described as very yummy!
Inspired by…
The poached egg is Jamie Oliver's. The dish itself is just kinda out there I think.
How easy…
About as easy as it gets!

The swine flu
The swine flu Currently, there has been an international concern and fear about the disease The Swine or Swine Flu. The main question that all the experts were worried about was whether the swine flu is an epidemic or a pandemic. An epidemic is defined as an outbreak of a contagious disease that can be widely spread and affects lots of people at the same time. A pandemic is a disease that spreads not only in a local region but, worldwide. On April 2009 the swine flu did not meet the definition of a pandemic, however, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared that the swine flu is a pandemic by the mid of June 2009. This is where the nightmare started. The swine flu was given that nickname due to the transfer of the virus from pigs to human. The Swine is considered as a type of an influenza disease. Influenza is a disease that people usually catch at least once in their lifetime. The influenza or the flu was a deadly disease in the past, but now there are the proper vaccinations and medications to fight it. Swine Flu is an extremely contagious disease and it easily spreads from one person to another whether it was through exhaled air, sneezes, coughs, or even shaking hands with an infected person or a person who has touched an infected object. When doctors or experts talk about influenza they argue that its not a serious disease, but on the other hand it affects the bodys immunity and makes it vulnerable to bacterial and viral attack. Its believed that the H1N1 is transferred the same way the regular influenza is. Newspapers, magazines, and TV newscasters are constantly babbling about the swine flu, and it has taken the lead on every front page. The question here is: is swine flu worth all the attention its getting on the media, on the street posts and on the TV channels? Or is it just as so called a propaganda and another way for a money grab? The answer can be explained in many ways. To start off, the swine flu is caused by an influenza of the classification A. Influenza A has the subtypes that include viruses HIN1, H1N2, H2N3, H3N1, and H3N2. The viral strain H1N1 is the virus that spread in the flu pandemic of 2009. In the United States it is declared that in ever one thousand people, forty need direct access to the hospital and one person dies. The World Health of Organization stated at July-17-2009 that there have been 89,921 cases and 382 deaths worldwide. Deaths and cases of the swine flu are mainly spotted in the US. Through these statistics it is proved that the swine flu is a dangerous case mainly in the United States and not in other countries. The incubation period (the time between the illness and appearance of symptoms) for the swine flu as claimed by the HPA (Health Protection Agency) lies between two and five days. A person suffering from The Swine will experience at least three of the following symptoms: coughing and sneezing, headache, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, aching muscles, and diarrhea or vomiting. When a person is suffering from those symptoms he/she is in a highly contagious state; he/she can easily pass on the virus to others. Usually, it takes around a week for the person to pull through, and once the symptoms are gone the person is no longer infectious to others around him. The swine flu is a highly contagious disease as declared by the Health Protection Agency (HPA). It can pass easily from one person to another. Scientifically speaking, The Swine is just like the other flu diseases; it is an airborne disease; the virus spreads from an infected persons nose or mouth when he coughs or sneezes, through the air droplets. Those who are having swine flu sometimes cough without covering their mouth, or washing their hands afterwards. Thus, the virus easily spreads on the objects surfaces that the infected person touches which include: door handles, keyboards, mobiles, remote controllers, etc It is believed that a virus survives on a hard surface for about 24 hours and on a soft surface for 20 minutes only. If an uninfected person touches these surfaces within these timings, he/she will catch the virus simply by touching their face. There are some certain cases that put people under a higher risk of catching the swine flu. Firstly, the swine flu seems to be of a great danger to pregnant women. Pregnant women should avoid catching the swine flu and this is by keeping away from congested areas like airports and cinemas. If they are living with someone who has the swine flu, they should be given Relenza (to a type of medication to be discussed shortly). Relenza should be taken through and inhaler rather than a tablet to accumulate in the pregnant womens lungs and throats and not in the blood, this way, their baby wont be affected. Secondly, people with certain health conditions and chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes are put in jeopardy with the swine flu dangers as the H1N1 virus targets a vulnerable immune system. Those suffering from a chronic health condition are obliged to be immunized with both, the seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. They should keep a record of the medications that they are receiving for their chronic disease, and once they are in doubt of having the swine flu, they should keep on using these medications unless their personal health care supervisor says otherwise. Experts and researchers tried to come up with a lot of solutions and treatments to the nightmare, the swine flu. There are two vaccines made for The Swine. The first vaccination is called Pandemrix and the second is called Celvapan. Both of these inoculations have been licensed and legally distributed. The Celvapan vaccine is taken in two doses, three weeks apart. At the time being, vaccinations are available only in the US and Europe since developing countries cannot afford to produce their own vaccines. An important thing to take into account is to whom The Swine can be deadly and very dangerous to. The Public Health Agency of Canada claimed that mainly, people who are aged fewer than 65 years are supposed to take the vaccination since the swine virus is more likely to affect nonelderly people because those who are older than 65 years seem to have natural immunity for swine flu. Moreover, pregnant women should be immunized straight away as The Swine seems to target pregnant women, it is claimed the higher risks of the swine flu occur at the late stages of pregnancy (the last three months of pregnancy), and they are advised to take the Pandemrix vaccine as it produces a sufficient amount of protection in your body after a single dose. In addition, children (aged between six months and five years) are the best objective for swine flu, but, babies under the age of six cant take the vaccine as it will show no response for adequate protection. A person who lives with someone who has a weak immune system as a result of being infected with a disease such as cancer or aids is strongly advised take the vaccination as he/she is more prone to The Swine attack. However, there are some people, but quite a few who are prohibited to take the swine flu vaccine. Firstly, the vaccine should not be given whatsoever to someone who had a brutal allergic reaction to the first dose of the vaccination. Secondly, the Pandemrix vaccine is prepared in hens eggs so those who have egg allergies or had breathing problems when taking egg products should not take the vaccine. Nevertheless, the Celvapan virus is not prepared in hens eggs therefore people who have egg allergies are obliged to take this vaccination. Conversely, there are some symptoms to the swine flue vaccinations. It is declared that there are no deaths or serious events that occurred from the vaccination. Side effects that might result after a swine flu immunization include: Tenderness, pain, redness, hardening of the skin, swelling and bruising. In addition, a vaccinated person might suffer from whole-body side effects that involve: Severe headaches, muscle pain, chills, queasiness, fever, and vomiting. However, experts came up with Adjuvant which is a substance added to a vaccine to improve its performance and make it more efficient in supporting the body in strong immune response. In addition, Tamiflu and Relenza are two major antiviral medications to suppress the effects of the swine flu, but not cure it completely. When a virus enters your body, it controls and manipulates healthy cells and orders them to make copies of themselves. Relenza acts on stopping the action of making copies of the virus from infected cells in the lungs. As a result, the process of spreading the virus in the body is slowed down and thus lessening the symptoms. The earlier you start taking Relenza (within 48 hours since the symptoms are felt in adults) the better it functions in protecting your body against The Swine. Tamiflu works the same way Relenza does in the body, although, Relenza concentrates on lessening the flu symptoms by one and a half days on average, while Tamiflu reduces the fly symptoms by up to two days on average. The Chamomile drink as believed by the Chinese has a similar composition to the Tamiflu antiviral medication but on the other hand has an even better effe ct and at a lower price. People with white masks are spotted everywhere lately, certainly in airports and other congested areas. Health officials say that facemasks can mislead people into thinking that theyre effective in protection against the swine flu. In reality, facemasks are only effective when they are worn in a correct manner and when they are changed on regular basis because facemasks can get damped from breathing, and thus more likely to catch viruses. People are depending a lot on facemasks that theyre getting less concerned with washing their hands more often. Moreover, the vaccination, antiviral medications are not the only ways to treat the swine flu or suppress its effects, there are several basic day-to-day things that people are advised to take for the sake of avoiding the swine flu as much as possible, these things involve: Washing your hands constantly, because you might have touched a contaminated surface, therefore keeping the hands clean will help you avoid the swine flu (remember to keep a hand sanitizer with you wherever you may go). Cough and sneeze in a manner to cover your mouth, this way you will not spread the virus to other uninfected people. Dispose used and dirty tissues. Clean the hard surfaces such as door handles more often and by using a suitable, and effective cleaning product. Avoid crowds and public transportations; this is the foremost important tasks to do if you want to avoid swine flu as it lessens the chance of being so close to someone and getting the swine flu as a result of that. If you cant avoid a certa in crowd try to follow the 6-foot-rule ; try to stand 6 feet away from a person who is coughing or sneezing. Visit your doctor straight away if you are experiencing any swine flu symptoms and they will give you the proper medications, antivirals and vaccinations specifically for your case. We should not waste our time in sitting back and listening to the news and media talking about how swine flu is very dangerous, risky and hopeless. Instead, we should put in more of this effort in developing natural immunity against the swine flu. We should have a healthier diet which majorly contains vitamins. Vitamins A and D like cod liver oil tends to give a great protection against such an infection. Moreover, vitamin c obtained from citrus drinks is a must for maintaining natural immunity If you catch the swine flu, do not panic! Contain the illness; take a good care of yourself, pamper yourself more often, drink plenty of water and other fluids, take a plenty of rest. Try coughing into the elbow of your hand to avoid passing your virus to others through hand shaking. Get rid off your dirty tissues yourself; dont let someone else do it for you! The media always claims that we live in an unsafe world and anything (like the swine flu) that throws us out of control invites pathogens (viruses and bacteria) to take over our body cells. But how shall we react depends on our logic and common sense not on the medias talk. The medias only main concern is to make a scary situation even worse than it really is. There are so many incidents that took place and proved the media wrong about how bad the swine flu is. Firstly, out of 2,000,000 people in the pilgrimage this year only 350 died and off course not all died out of The Swine Secondly, death cases are very rare and statistics show that worldwide every 1 in 4000 people die of swine flu. As a conclusion, I think that the swine flu is not as bad as the media says it is. Most companies are exaggerating about the fact that the swine flu is very dangerous just for the sake of money grab. People are not supposed to be tricked into believing that its dangerous because, by common sense, the symptoms are very clear and significant and once they are experiencing some of the symptoms all they are left to do is visit a health care professional, take the proper medications, antivirals, and try their best to minimize their contact with others. On the other hand, people should be aware of the fact that the swine flu is just like the regular seasonal influenza, and it can be simply avoided by maintaing good hygiene like washing their hands more often, and carrying a hand sanitizer or an alcohol based hand wash everywhere they go. People are wasting a lot of effort in thinking of the dangerous consequences of the swine flu; they should instead spend more time on trying to work on de veloping natural immunity against it. It is believed that those who catch the swine flu feel very dreadful when experiencing its symptoms, but most of them end up recovering with no problems and sometimes even without the aid of medical treatments.

Two bathrooms will be hacked… my home will turn into a construction site… sigh!
Hope to use those egg trays to reduce the sound level at the balcony where all the cats will have to be confined in cages and carriers. Not ideal… but I can't think of any better solution.

In the beautiful fall colours we took a long boat ride down the Hozugawa river to Arashiyama.
Getting to the boat trips starting point was a bit of a mission, usually the boat trip is combined with the romantic train from Arashiyama, you take the romantic train up and the boat back. However, as it was a national holiday the romantic train had already sold out. Instead we had to take regular trains to the starting point, living in Osaka we first took two trains to Kyoto JR, then transferred to another to finally get to Kameoka station. From there it was a few minutes walk to the boarding point.
As we approroached and we could see how busy it was we got worried, advance booking isnt available for the boat, you just have to turn up and wait.
Once inside we filled out a short order form, queued and paid. It is 4100yen per adult. A sign said there was approximately an hours wait, and todays journey time was about 1hr 40mins. We got our tickets with a number, after that all we had to do was relax until our number was called over the speakers.
The starting point has a small gift shop, food counter and amenities. It was a lovely day out if a little chilly so I grabbed some atsukan (hot sake) and nikuman (meat steamed bun). J got a rice burger from the food counter too.
You could even try on the boat crews clothes and take pictures!
We sat outside on the slope and watched the boats come over the bridge on a truck and get craned back into the water, a mini bus full of crew would also appear and drop off the staff.
After exactly an hour our number was called and we could board our boat! Boats hold 30 people in total, minus 3 crew members. I couldnt believe it when I saw people with suitcases getting in the boats! The staff didnt seem to mind though and popped the cases in the back.
And then we were off!
The man sat down had a paddle, the man at the front had a long bamboo stick, which he stuck in the water and ran down the slope at the front, pushing the boat along. There was another member at the back of the boat, but Im not sure what his role was…
The guy was really funny, telling jokes and pointing out things around us. He told us about a beautiful scenic spot around the corner but when we got to it it was just a lump of concrete.
As we went along the crew members changed around.
It was very peaceful and relaxing going along the river. Occasionally there were "danger zones" and as I was on the side of the boat I had to hold up some plastic sheeting to my shoulder to protect us from spray. I did get very wet one time though, right through my shoes to my socks.
There were a few rocks that looked like something, Snoopy, a lion etc.. that were pointed out, I dont remember what this was meant to be though.
At one point we passed the romantic train and waved at everyone.
More than two thirds in we met another boat.
We docked with it and floated along the river together while we all ordered food and drinks!
Bless the couple infront of us for bending down.
Not long after the food stop we were approaching Arashiyama, and the ride was over. It took pretty much 1hour 40mins like they said.
We had a fantastic time, I thought it was a bit too long but J would have liked a longer ride. Id be interested in doing it again in another season, winter looks fantastic!

"Where they Went" by Diane Daniel
(Published April 20, 2008, in the Boston Globe)
From Di's eyes: I was at a conference in Santiago a year earlier, so it was fun to relive a bit of my time there. "The Chrises" packed in more than I could. I was impressed!
WHO: Chris Santos, 55, her husband, Chris Dippel, 54, of Brookline, Mass., and their daughter, Calli Cenizal, 20, of Claremont, Calif.
WHERE: Chile.
WHEN: One week in December.
WHY: Santos and Dippel went to visit and travel with Cenizal, who was in Santiago for five months through an exchange program at Pomona College, where she majors in Latin American studies.
FAMILY AFFAIRS: They picked a mix of urban and rural spots, starting in the capital city. "Calli met us at the airport and took us to the hotel and just launched right into her Spanish and took charge," Santos said. The parents stayed at Chilhotel in the Providencia downtown neighborhood. They had lunch with their daughter's host family after first toasting with pisco sours. Later they presented the mother, a professional cook, with a bilingual Betty Crocker cookbook and the father with a Red Sox cap.
DOING DOWNTOWN: Santos and Dippel wore out their walking shoes around town. "There were many preserved buildings, streets turned into pedestrian ways, and vendors and artists in the Plaza de Armas." During the week, they visited three houses of Pablo Neruda, Chile's Nobel Prize poet and diplomat, the first being La Chascona, in town. "It was on a hillside right in the middle of the city and on a lot of levels," Santos said.
HILL THRILLS: During one walk they climbed the stairs to Cerro Santa Lucía, a popular downtown overlook. On another they took a funicular ride to Cerro San Cristóbal, a large park topped by a huge statue of the Virgin Mary. When Santos decided to try a glass of wheat tea, she struck up a conversation with an American in front of her in line who later introduced himself as Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods." She was interviewed for the show.
TO THE COUNTRY: For a change of scenery, Dippel and Santos took a bus out of the city about an hour eastward to Cajón del Maipo, or Canyon of the Maipo River. "You could look up and see the foothills of the Andes," Santos said. They stayed at Cascada de las Ánimas in a B&B with a view of the mountains on all sides. "We took a hike to a waterfall and another four-hour walk up a steep trail to a mesa above the river. It was beautiful."
TO THE SEA: Cenizal accompanied her parents to Valparaíso, a seaport and fishing town about an hour northwest of Santiago. "We stayed in The Yellow House in an older part of town with cobblestone streets," Dippel said. "It was literally perched on the hillside, with three narrow stories that have doors for each floor on each successively higher street." "It's a sort of gritty town but they're creating a walkway along the ocean to make it attractive to tourists. And the seafood was really, really good."
STOP, THIEF: The family had one unpleasant incident on a bus there, when two men grabbed Santos's camera as they were exiting. Luckily she was holding on to the strap, and after Dippel gave them a few "wimpy" whacks, they let go. "Everyone around us was very apologetic, but we blamed ourselves, too," he said. "We shouldn't have been so close to the door."

Sony's PS4 system software 4.00 update (codenamed Shingen) is coming. To download the latest update you need to be registered for the public program here. The new update will be roll out to everyone later.
It is possible that the new software will come with PlayStaion 4 Neo next month. PS4 System Software 4.00 will bring refreshed system UI, adding tools for organization, updating the Quick Menu, and much more. Check the list below.
New in PS4 System Software 4.00 Update
UI Refresh
Sony's PlayStation 4 system software 4.00 update will bring a lot of adjustments and improvements to PS4's main user interface. That includes some changes you may notice right away, like new system backgrounds and a revised What's New tab, to smaller changes like updated popup notifications and redesigned system icons. As a whole, it all adds up to a more refined and easy to use UI. The overall look and feel of the UI remain the same, it just has a fresh coat of paint.
Quick Menu
As you know, pressing and holding the PS button on your DualShock 4 brings up the Quick Menu. PS4 System Software 4.00 overhauled this menu to make it faster and easier to use. One big change is that the menu now only covers a portion of the screen, meaning you don't need to leave gameplay entirely.
PS4 System Software 4.00 added several new items to the Quick Menu, letting you quickly get info without having to back to the home screen. You can see the online status of your friends, and shortcuts to quickly access your Party, Favorite Groups, Communities, and more. You can also customize the Quick Menu, removing or adding items as you see fit.
Share Menu
PS4 System Software 4.00 brings the changes to the Share Menu, which appears once you press the Share button on your DualShock 4. Like the Quick Menu, it only covers a portion of the screen. It will save the last social network you shared video clips or screenshots too, making the process of sharing a screenshot or video a bit faster and more streamlined.
You can also upload longer video clips to Twitter (was 10 seconds, now up to 140 seconds).
Folders and Library Organization
PS4 System Software 4.00 adding functionality to create folders on PS4's content launcher and Library. This will help collect your favorite games and select apps in one place for quick and easy access.
Sony also making some pretty big changes to the Library. PS4 System Software 4.00 added a new tab called Purchased, which will show all of the content you own games, applications, demos, and betas you've participated in. As a result, the Games and Applications tabs focus on content currently installed on your system. This should help de-clutter your library, and make it faster to find the content you're looking for.
There are some new sorting tools for your Library as well. You'll be able to sort content by purchase date or install status, and search for specific games and apps via text input.
Trophy Improvements
This update brings the ability to view the Trophy offline. You'll see a new "offline mode" option if your system is unable to connect to the network, letting you view your entire Trophy collection without an Internet connection.
PlayStation S4 System Software 4.00 also added a button that will let you view the content of a Hidden Trophy. The Trophy will still be hidden by default, but you can now choose to show the Trophy name and info.
There is also changes to icons that show how rare a Trophy is. Instead of four boxes that fill, the icon looks like a pyramid with the ultra-rare Trophies at the top.
User Profile
PlayStation System Software 4.00 updated the look of the User Profile, making it easier to see relevant info for a player at-a-glance. For instance, you can now see your Trophy progress compared with another player right from their profile. You can also add a background image to your own profile perhaps a screenshot you took in one of your favorite games.

Italian frazzled rock and roll combines with soaring Scouse hysteria as the Lomax welcomes a pair of new bands to champion, Getintothis' Joseph Sheerin gets his spook on.
Cumberland Street's The Lomax is a historic Liverpool venue.
Maybe not on the scale of The Cavern, no, but considering Oasis, Radiohead, Doves and The Verve have all played their first shows in this fine city here, it stands tall.
As you climb the stairs, away from the drizzle of a Scouse October evening and up to the celebrated attic room you do feel the weight of history around the place. It's a classic British venue, small yet perfectly formed with the bare essentials present to put on a night of top quality rock & roll.
Playing their first gig in Liverpool this evening are Florence's Go!Zilla. In fact, it is the first time they've ventured abroad and the reiteration of their pride to be doing that in this city is a welcomed charm offensive from effusive vocalist and guitarist Luca Landi.
They focus themselves on blowing your ears off with 60's tinged dirty garage rock, and on this evening they rapturously succeed. Lead track off their self-titled EP I'm Bleeding is thumping, stomping, victorious standout that manages to jump from a Hooky-driven Joy Division opening to an all-out Stooges' punk offensive.
Landi's vocals echo underneath a rapturous cacophony of glorious noise that is eerily perfect for this Hallowe'en eve.
On No Man's Land he demands you to 'hear me now!' and it's hard not to with a deafening cauldron of noise being cultivated. There's a confidence about this duo that is hard not to appreciate, particularly when you think of the milestone they've struck with tonight's performance.
Ending with their own theme tune in Go!zilla Surf (in fact, the first song they wrote together), they show the innate talent they hold in the form of a punky, spunky 90 second stunner that, should they garner the acclaim they probably will, will become the theme tune to many a night out.
Preceding tonight's headliners are Liverpool four-piece, Early Music who they say 'concoct a listening experience honed in those hours before the dawn'.
It's hard not to agree when the degree of musicality on stage is so high and is capable of transcending the streets of Liverpool, instead taking on the sensation and emotion of Laurel Canyon.
Telefunken possesses a motoring intro that builds continuously into a storming 6 minute epic that hurtles you into a rhythmic reverie.
Lead singer and guitarist Paul Baker's visceral vocals are somewhat reminiscent of The Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser; they tug on the heartstrings as every word is delivered with the sincerity and profundity befitting of the music. The emotion pounds off stage and into the audience consciousness.
Multiplex is the other clear stand-out from the set. The aforementioned Laurel Canyon ambience is most present here as it builds in with an intro not to dissimilar to Neil Young's Down by the River.
The soothing and understated drums ease and settle you into a song that could accompany a rather pleasant trip along Mulholland Drive in the black of the night.
But that doesn't last forever as it builds up into a psychedelic jam, once again littered with Baker's unrestrained vocals, but complimented with Sam Gill's potent, screeching solo that leaves you shaken and perhaps, a little stirred.
The perfect soundtrack to a dark and gloomy night on the eve of Hallowe'en.

Hey Guys! Here's what's making the top of my list in the month of March:
Dr. Perricone Blue Plasma
This stuff is amazing! I've been using it religiously as part of my nighttime skin care routine. It's a non-irritating exfoliating serum… that ONLY targets dead skin cells. That means zero irritation for all you sensitive beauties out there. It works overnight, and plays very well with other skin care products.
Ellis Faas Skin Veil
I've been using this every day since I got it from The Makeup Show. It's like a lighter version of Illamasqua Skin Base (which I love). It adheres to the skin, and imitates the look at feel of skin, so that you don't look 'made up.'
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (Ginger)
I've also been using this every day. One teeny dot under each eye does the trick. It sets beautifully and doesn't crease or get 'crepey' throughout the day.
NARS Light Reflecting Powder
This is the lightest translucent powder I've used to date, that doesn't give me that 'white' flashback that is typical of such finely milled white powders. The teeniest bit sets my foundation, and I'm good to go. I've found that I prefer the loose powder to the pressed version… there's no shimmer and the finish is much more natural.
Armani Blushing Fabric
This formula works so well with the Ellis Faas foundation… it seems like they were made in the same place. It merges right in with the formula and imitates a natural 'flush' on my skin. I love it. Been using this religiously… I'm having a hard time choosing something else on a daily basis!
Tom Ford Lip Color Shine (Nubile)
This is such an easy color to wear, and the formula is excellent. It holds like a sheer lipstick, but feels like a soothing lip balm. Nubile has taken up permanent residence in my purse these days… I pull it out anytime I need to 'freshen' my face… and I don't even need a mirror to do it. the color is very flattering and works well on my skin tone.
Sisley 'So Intense' Mascara
So far, so good with this one. It's a great performing mascara, with the added benefit of 'boosting' lashes over time. I've been using it for about a week… but I want to wait a full 30 days before I absolutely swear by it. I love that it leaves my lashes soft (not crunchy) after wearing it all day. They do feel 'softer' — but the jury is still out on whether they've gotten any fuller.
CK One Nail Color (Romper Room)
I've been pressing a lot of palms lately (corporate madness), and I can't be stressing about chipped nails and dark colors that are all wrong (and a bit off putting) for the average mucky muck. So this nail polish is also bouncing around in my purse at the moment (just in case I need a touch up). The color is 'so' neutral that you have to really look at my hands to see if I'm wearing any color. They just make my nails look polished and 'presentable.' It works.
That's it! Those are my March Favorites… ciao for now!

41 Palestinians martyred in protests against US embassy move to Quds
TEHRAN, May 14 (Press Shia) – On the anniversary of Nakba Day and the imminent relocation of US embassy to Quds, thousands of Palestinians have begun a march towards the occupied lands.
Since this morning, thousands of Palestinians have begun a march towards the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip with the occupied Palestinian territories to protest the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem as well as the anniversary of the occupation of Palestine, Nakba Day.
At least fourty one Palestinians are reported to have been martyred so far, according to Palestinian medical sources, while thousands of protesters have been injured.
According to Lebanese Al-Manar TV, Palestinian demonstrators in various parts of the West Bank have begun protesting as well.
Fierce clashes have broken out between Zionist soldiers in Hebron, in the north of Al-Quds, in northern Ramallah and other parts of the West Bank.
According to Al-Manar report, Zionist regime has turned the whole West Bank and other occupied lands into a military zone by deploying police, border guards, and rapid reaction forces across the Occupied West Bank and the Quds.
Massive protests are also scheduled for today in the holy Quds when the ceremony of relocating the US embassy begins.
Palestinians are infuriated by the Trump administration's decision to move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem today May 14, which corresponds the day on which the Zionist regime also declared its existence back in 1948.
On the other hand, Palestinians commemorate a day after the Israeli regime's creation which is May 15 as the Nakba Day or 'Day of the Catastrophe.'
Being updated…..

We are only going through the second and I've to admit that I am starting to feel exhausted (just starting….). But let's get to what is important: the action of today. The opening plenary is always a good opportunity to have some insight of some major players that are invited to share the thoughts and vision about their challenges and how GS1 can help to overcome it. And this year Omni-channel was everywhere. Personally, I would like to highlight 3 moments: the opening speech of Tim Smuker (GS1 Chairman Emeritus), the presentation of Barron Witherspoon (Global VP for Industry Affairs, P&G) and Taha Husseini (CEO IT Senior Advisor, Carrefour).
Tim speech was a good wake-up call that without culture and values there is no point in thinking about strategy. Wise words from someone that knows a lot. Barron presentation I've to say it was brilliant. The Pandora box crossed with the Omni-channel challenges was indeed a great analogy. And finally, Taha for the pragmatic vision that in order to face these challenges we need to do better and different. Perhaps thinking out-of-the-box.
The market place is always unpredictable (well I would rather say that we predict that will be unpredictable). This year we had slight different format from the previous years. We were invited to join GS1 Colombia & Logyca stand. But this was more than sharing a stand. Was about giving a perspective that the relation between customers and providers should be always seen first as a partnership. They brought the coffee directly from Colombia and we provided the known Portuguese pastries "pasteis de nata". As a result of this combination its seems that we were flooded by the more than 750 delegates that attend this year. I run out of business cards, pastries and in end I lost my voice. I believe our GS1 Colombia and Logyca also had a huge impact on their objectives.
Tomorrow, is a big day ahead. Starts early ends late. But the most important part is the morning break. Saphety will be everywhere.

Missouri Senate Bill Aims to Prevent Child Abandonment
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Senate endorsed a bill Tuesday that would allow parents 45 days to give up newborn children without legal consequences.
Senate Bill 256 modifies the state's Safe Place for Newborns Act of 2002. Currently, parents can legally relinquish a newborn up to five days old if they leave the child with a medical facility, fire department or law enforcement office. The new bill would extend the "safe harbor" period to 45 days and include maternity homes and pregnancy resource centers as acceptable places to leave a newborn.
In Columbia, the city fire department's battalion chief said this legislation would not lead to any changes in the department's open door policy. "It really doesn't make any difference to us," James Weaver said. "What we're interested in is that the child is not going to be hurt or abandoned."
The bill, sponsored by Ryan Silvey (R-Kansas City), will go through another vote in the Senate before moving to the Missouri House of Representatives. The bill includes a provision to allow school districts to provide at least 30 minutes each year of age-appropriate education regarding the Safe Place for Newborns Act.

Traffic just hit 400,000 downloads on February 5! Window Phone 8 has definitely helped boost downloads, I'm getting close to 800 a day again after dropping quite a bit.
Super Picross hasn't had nearly as many downloads but it seems to get almost as many ad impressions. The Daily Puzzle feature is great for getting people using the app regularly. It's a lot of fun playing the submitted levels too.
Ads aren't paying very well anymore so 2012 wasn't quite as successful as 2011. However my apps still have a good place in the windows phone market which is growing everyday. It's also my 29th birthday and I'm quite happy 🙂

A common theme among many of our insights is the reality that lurks behind the proposed perception of many of our economic, financial, and political leaders projections. From Spain not needing a bailout to Juncker's lies, from Bernanke's transitory inflation to Dimon's not needing TARP, the list is endless. Artemis Capital, whose insights we have discussed here and here, use the metaphor of the impossible object (e.g. Penrose Triangle or Necker's Cube) to explore the role of perception in modern markets, monetary policy, and risk while making note of the paradoxes in volatility and asset-pricing that should not exist.
Via Artemis Capital:
The paper uses the metaphor of the impossible object (Penrose Triangle, Necker's Cube, and the art of MC Escher) to explore the role of perception in modern markets, monetary policy, and risk while making note of paradoxes in volatility and asset pricing that should not exist according to classic theory. Our cover illustration pays homage to M.C. Escher's 1961 masterpiece Waterfall and is intended to be an artistic abstraction of the self-reflexive mechanics of modern monetary theory.
The fundamental characteristic of the impossible object is uncertainty of perception. Is it feasible for a real waterfall to flow into itself; or for a triangle to complete itself in both directions? The figures are subject to multiple forms of interpretation challenging whether our naïve perception is relevant to understanding the truth. The impossible object is of vast importance to mathematics, art, philosophy and as I will argue... modern pricing of risk.
Modern financial markets are a game of impossible objects. In a world where global central banks manipulate the cost of risk the mechanics of price discovery have disengaged from reality resulting in paradoxical expressions of value that should not exist according to efficient market theory. Fear and safety are now interchangeable in a speculative and high stakes game of perception. The efficient frontier is now contorted to such a degree that traditional empirical views are no longer relevant. The volatility of an impossible object is your own changing perception.
The modern investor must hold several contradictory ideas in his or her head at the same time and none of them really make any sense according to business school case studies.
Welcome to the impossible market.
Highlights Include:
- The market is no longer an expression of the economy… it is the economy
- Why volatility is cheap and expensive at the same time
- Why fear is a better reason to buy than fundamentals
- Risk-Free asset are Risky ----- how UST bonds have a risk-to-reward profile very similar to a collateralized OTM put option
- Known Unknowns / Unknown Unknowns
- Common sense says do not trust your common sense

A kitten will start to cut his adult teeth between 3 and 6 months of age. By about 8 months of age, the cat will have all his permanent teeth. It's important that you keep your cat's teeth clean from an early age to prevent dental disease in your furry buddy.
Kitten Teeth
Your little kitten is born without teeth. His first set of baby teeth or milk teeth come in when he's about 4 weeks old. He'll have 26 of these teeth, including his incisors, canines and premolars. Your little one's baby teeth will last until he reaches about 3 months old, when he'll start to lose them and cut his new ones. His second set of teeth is permanent and will last the rest of his life.
Altogether, there are 30 adult teeth, including four shiny new molars that he didn't have as a baby. The adult teething process lasts around three months; by the time your little one is between 6 and 7 months old, all of his new teeth will be in, according to the Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine website.
During your kitty's teething period, you'll probably notice him chewing on pretty much everything within reach. As he cuts his new teeth, he'll experience pain and swelling in his gums, leading him to relieve the discomfort through chewing. This can be dangerous if he gnaws on something like an electrical cord or a poisonous plant. To prevent such issues, cat-proof your home. Remove anything potentially dangerous and chew-worthy from within reach of your kitty; provide him with lots of toys he can safely teeth on. You can find toys in pet supply stores that are specifically for teething kittens. These toys are made of soft rubber or plastic so your kitty can comfortably gnaw on them, according to the VetInfo website.
Stinky Breath
While your kitten is teething, it's normal for him to have a bit of bad breath. As his adult teeth cut through, the gums swell and bacteria tend to collect along the gum line, leading to stinky breath, according to Vetstreet. This inflammation usually lasts around four to six weeks, according to the Feline Advisory Bureau. During this time, you might notice your kitty is a little irritable from the pain. You can soak a wash cloth in water and freeze it for your kitten to chew on. The cold will help dull the pain. You may want to soften his regular dry food so he doesn't experience pain while eating. Switching to a canned soft food outright might upset the kitten's stomach.
Vet Care
During the teething process, have your vet look at your little buddy's teeth and gums to check for issues. Sometimes baby teeth need to be pulled to make way for adult teeth and to prevent crowding or bite problems later in life. Your vet can advise you how to care for your little one's teeth. Once your kitty reaches around 8 months old and has all of his teeth, gum inflammation should have subsided. At this point, you can start brushing his teeth daily with a kitty toothbrush and toothpaste to keep them in tip-top shape. Have your vet check your furry buddy's teeth annually to see when a professional cleaning may be needed. With proper care, your kitty's teeth will stay strong and last her lifetime.

The new Caterpillar 16M3 Motor Grader features engineering enhancements that Cat says boost fuel economy, increase structural durability, simplify maintenance, add operator convenience and promote the safety of both the operator and those around the machine. The 16M3 is available in configurations to meet engine emissions standards worldwide.
The 16M3 is an essential machine for building and maintaining mine haulage roads - to keep trucks running efficiently and at the lowest cost per tonne of material moved. The 16M3 has a 4.9-metre moldboard and an average operating weight of 32,411kg. The motor grader is optimally sized for operations using 136-tonne or smaller trucks.
The 16M3 features a Cat C13 ACERT engine with the Cat Optimized Variable-Horsepower system, which provides net power ratings from 290 to 348 horsepower. The engine is available in three configurations to satisfy global emissions standards: US EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV/Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final); Tier 3/Stage IIIA /Japan 2006 (Tier 3) equivalent; and Tier 2/Stage II/Japan 2001 (Tier 2) equivalent.
A new ECO mode, standard for Tier 2 equivalent and Tier 4 engines, is designed to improve fuel economy by optimizing engine speed to 1900 rpm in working gears when possible with no compromise in performance. This operator-selected feature delivers fuel savings estimated to be as much as 4 to 5%, compared with working in comparable light to moderate load applications with the system deactivated. An additional engine control system feature provides consistent power to the ground by continually adjusting the engine to compensate for power losses to the cooling fan.
Also new for the 16M3 is the OK-to-Start system, which automatically checks the engine coolant, engine oil and hydraulic oil levels when the key is turned to the on position. The system also monitors these levels and the trans-axle oil level during operation, and it alerts the operator if levels drop too low.
The Cat direct-drive, power-shift transmission, with eight forward and six reverse gears, incorporates the Cat Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy system, designed to smooth gear changes and promote productivity. The modular trans-axle now has a standard automatic differential lock, which ensures appropriate locking/unlocking for optimum traction and maneuvering, thus averting possible damage from ill-timed manual control.
The 16M3 also features nearly 15% greater dynamic braking torque at the rear tandems, achieved by enlarging both the brake disc diameter and the piston area. A new manual brake wear indicator simplifies disc wear measurement, eliminating having to remove the brake pods to check wear.

In October 336 BC, statues of the twelve Olympian Gods were paraded through the ancient capital of Macedon. Following them was a thirteenth, a statue of King Philip II who was deifying himself in front of the Greek world. Moments later Philip was stabbed to death; it was a world-shaking event that heralded in the reign of his son, Alexander the Great. Equally driven by a heroic lineage stretching back to gods and heroes, Alexander conquered the Persian Empire in eleven years but died mysteriously in Babylon. Some 2,300 years later, a cluster of subterranean tombs were unearthed in northern Greece containing the remains of the Macedonian royal line. This is the remarkable story of the quest to identify the family of Alexander the Great and the dynasty that changed the Graeco-Persian world forever.
Written in close cooperation with the investigating archaeologists, anthropologists, and scientists, this book presents the revelations, mysteries and controversies in a charming, accessible style. Is this really the tomb of Philip II, Alexander's father? And who was the warrior woman buried with weapons and armour beside him?
As referenced in 'further information' part of author article The Verging Tombs as featured byCurrent World Archaeology, issue 100
Reading with all the innate and iconoclastic dramatic flair of a well scripted novel, "Unearthing the Family of Alexander the Great: The Remarkable Discovery of the Royal Tombs of Macedon" is an extraordinary story of modern archaeology. Enhanced throughout with thematically relevant illustrations, and enhanced for academia with the inclusion of an informative Postscript, forty-two pages of Notes, a twelve page Bibliography, and an eighteen page Index, "Unearthing the Family of Alexander the Great" is especially and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library History of Archaeology collections.Midwest Book Review

Was the antechamber part of the original construction? If not, what association did the female found in the antechamber have to the male found in the main chamber? If the bones found in Tomb II did not belong to Philip II, then whose bones are they? Are they part of the Argead bloodline? Was Philip II buried in Tomb I instead? With his up-to-date research, David Grant touches on these very questions and helps to bring more clarity into this mysterious, yet exciting subject.Ancient Origins

The stories of Ancient Greece reach a peak with the story of Alexander the Great and that of his conquest of the known world before an early death. The stories of his family are not well known and this excellent account provides a great deal of information from the remarkable discovery of the tombs of Macedon – Highly Recommended.Firetrench

David Grant presents his evidence regarding the family of Alexander the Great in a clear and compelling way. Faultless ancient Greek history.Books Monthly
David Grant's book is long overdue. It tells the definitive story of individuals involved in the discovery, exhumation, and analysis of the tomb of Philip II of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, and one of the great generals of ancient Greece. Impressively researched, Grant weaves an adventurous tale set in what reads like a travelogue of Greek history and folklore that makes Unearthing the Family of Alexander the Great an important work for academics and anthropologists, but also for a wider audience, both for its important subject matter and excellent presentation. Highly recommended.- Richard A. Gabriel, author of Philip of Macedon: Greater Than Alexander
Ambitious in its scope and never shying away from controversy, this tells of the archaeological 'find of the century': the unearthing of the royal tombs housing the family of Alexander the Great. In a compelling intertwining of ancient history, modern science and Greek legend, Grant's meticulous research reveals discoveries that enthralled and divided historians. His acquaintance with the researchers makes this a very personal odyssey into the brilliant forensics that have helped unlock the mysteries of the tombs.- Carol G. Thomas, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Washington
Captivating and deeply researched, the book illuminates the most recent archaeological discoveries in the lavish Royal Tombs of Macedonia. David Grant is the perfect guide to understanding how brilliant scientific and historical detective work has revealed so many ancient secrets of the illustrious family of Alexander the Great.- Adrienne Mayor, author of The Amazons and The Poison King -

For example, "visit this website, it's great!" would be considered promotion even if its not your website if its not relevent to an existing topic. If you are answering someone's question, then it probably wouldn't be considered advertising and promotion. Note that we have no way of knowing if its your website or not, so basically if it looks like an ad, then we will treat it as such. If you want to recommend a great website, please do so in the appropriate section of the Promotions & Suggestions section unless you are answering someone's question or contributing to a topic already in progress.

Links to websites that have no real content will be removed. Also, websites that appear to be banned by Google and/or other search engines will be removed immediately from our website since having such links negatively effects our website's search engine ranking.
- Buyer Beware!
We are not responsible and have no control of advertisers who post in this forum. Advertisers are responsible for their own actions. Advertising are expected to follow the same guidelines as posts.
Censorship & Free Speech
- Free Speech Allowed on This Forum.
People are allowed to express their opinions on this website even if you disagree with them or do not want something publicized. You are invited to post a civil reply stating why you disagree, but please do not start arguements. The website operates in the spirit of free speech and communication and we believe that honest communication is the best way to handle controversial subjects instead of hiding them and pretending they didn't exist.
- Free Speech Does Not Include Breaking Forum Rules.
Just like its illegal to cry "Fire" in a crowded theater creating a panic, you also do not have the right to say anything you want here.
- Post Deletion Policy.
The System Administrator has the right to delete any post for any reason or no reason at all. The System Administrator may even delete posts that do not break the forum rules, with or without notice.
- Requesting a Post to Be Deleted.
You may request a post to be deleted if it violates the Forum Rules. This request must be made to the Administrator or Moderators and not to the person who posted the item.
- Controversial Posts Will Not Be Censored.
The System Administrator will not delete posts simply because it is controversial or makes a company or industry look bad. If anyone requests that you delete your own post, please contact the System Administrator.
- Misrepresentation / Libel / Defamation of Character.
Please note that it is illegal to post any false statements that negatively effect someone's reputation. It is also illegal to misrepresent the facts or to make statements in a false light.
- Preferred Language is English.
Most of the visitors to this website speak English as either a primary or secondary language, although many speak more than one language. By posting in English, the most people possible can understand what you are saying, since pretty much all people visiting here speak English as one of their languages, or they are using software that translates from English to their language.
- Foreign Language Posts should have English Translations.
It would be appreciated by the staff and other visitors if you provide translations into English for any text in a foreign language you post on the site. Think of it this way: if you were at a party where everyone there spoke English, and you were in a group of 5 people talking about something, and suddenly two of them started talking about it in German, most likely you and the other two people would feel offended since the three of you are now excluded from the conversation. It's a bit rude when people exclude other people by doing that.
- Private Messages in Private Messenger
If you are using a foreign language to try to "hide" what you are saying from the English speaking visitors, it is more appropriate to send your messages via Private Messenger. Since the messages are private, they can be in any language both of you understand.
- Editing and Translation of Your Posts by Staff
At the Administrator's option, your post may be edited by an Administrator or Moderator to include an English Translation. We will most likely use an online translation website and it may or may not accurately translate your post. As mentioned earlier, if the message is in a foreign language to prevent English speakers from understanding, its better to use a Private Message, because it may get translated into English for you exposing your "secret" messages. The staff has no obligation to translate your posts, and may delete it instead.
- We are Not Suppressing Other Languages.
By having these rules, we are not suppressing other languages or saying English is better. We are just saying since most people here understand English (or are using a program to translate from English to their language), posting in English would be beneficial to the most people.
Special Rules
- Similar Usernames or Avatars.
You may not use a username and/or avatar that is similar to or the same as an Administrator, Moderator, Facilitator or Staff Member of this website, if such a username or use of an avatar would cause confusion to other users. For example, you may not use the same avatar as the Administrator of this website. (Exception: you may use the same avatar if that person is using an avatar from the list provided by this forum.)
Enforcement of Rules
- Penalties for Breaking the Rules.
If you are found breaking any of the rules you may have your posts deleted, edited or moved (as appropriate). In addition, your account may be deleted or suspended if the violation is serious enough or repeated after being warned.
- If You Find a Post Breaking the Rules:
If you find a post that breaks any of these rules, please contact us immediately by sending an e-mail or private message so we can take appropriate action.
- Management's Decision is Final.
The Management tries to be fair and just and their decision is final in any dispute concerning the rules. The Administrator is the person who is assigned to deal with disputes and enforcement of the rules.
And most importantly:
- Have Fun!

Marketing challenge:
We use third party Return Path (RP), which is an email deliverabilty monitoring tool, to monitor our email delivery rate and to optimize our email marketing.
As a tool requirement, all of marketing email campaigns must include a RP seed list. This RP seed list has up to 600 email addresses.
RP would not be able to monitor deliverability rate correctly if any of the email addresses from RP seed list is missing from our email campaigns. One challenge we faced was that contacts from this RP seed list
somehow get unsubscribed often which prevented RP from getting our emails. We had to check and manually re-subscribe contacts in this RP seed list.
To have a robust solution to subscribe contacts in this RP seed list or internal seed list automatically and to avoid manual work and improve team efficiency
From luminary learning courses and Topliners community tips, we leveraged program builder and program canvas functionalities in Eloqua to build a robust solution to replace manual work that includes the followings:
- A program builder with action to subscribe list of contacts at "Site-Level"
- This program builder also use "Subscribe to Campaign" action
- Build a program canvas to feed contacts daily into the program builder to automatically subscribe contacts from RP or internal seed lists.
Program Builder:
- Program canvas to feed contacts daily into the program builder to automatically subscribe contacts from RP or internal seed lists.
- All of our marketing emails were able to reach Return Path inboxes
- As a result, Return Path is consistently able to monitor and provide accurate reports, analysis and recommendations for our email marketing optimization.
- Significantly improved team efficiency

Abstract: Replay of the August 20, 2008 Webinar by David Intersimone "David I", CodeGear Chief Evangelist, showing how you can create desktop, client/server, and multi-tier applications using Delphi 2009.
During this webinar, recorded on Wednesday, August 20, David showed how you can create desktop, client/server, and multi-tier applications using Delphi 2009's lean, native, high performance access to all the popular database management systems.
Using a robust, powerful database access framework, Delphi developers can easily access data and display data without writing any code. Data can be created, read, updated and deleted with ease, either from visual controls or in code. DataSnap provides a simple yet powerful framework for building n-tier applications with full-featured and completely customizable middle-tier application servers. Developers can write stored procedure code in Delphi by embedding business logic and other data management code in application servers. Accessing data has never been so easy, so robust, and so flexible.
This webinar replay presents new capabilities in DBExpress and DataSnap.
