Just thinking should I have a dabble at kitless pens what is the minimum equipment required,various sizes tape and dies etc
Warm up your card and bank account mate,weigh up the advantages versa costs,the real time making and the need for real salesmanship and another market altogether. No such thing as a free method you are contemplating.
Nil Desperandum
Aye the taps and dies are kind of expensive
Turnaround 360, use to get taps and dies cheap of ebay 10.75 mm and 12.75 mm by memory.
I have only made 3 so probably not best positioned to advise. That said - Happy to share what I purchased to 'get going'.
As Mark said, some cheap taps and dies (buying a set worked out cheaper for me than buying individual sizes)
A tap to match the thread of the nib you are using for the section. (I could be wrong - this is usually specialist. If you use Beaufort nibs for example, Beaufort also provide the matching tap).
Aluminium rods (I use for making closed mandrels).
Tailstock die holder
Collet Chuck set
Centre drill bits
Drill bits 7mm-12mm.
Assuming that you don't need to purchase the basics, I managed to pick up all the above for under £200.
Measure Twice, cut once, then force it to fit.
More or less what Tony said.
The only specialist tap you need to begin with is the one to fit a nib housing to the inside of the Section. You can hone your designs and skills for all the other threads using roughly appropriate sized taps and dies from B&Q, and improvised tools from stuff you can make or will already own as a woodturner. The time to start investing in the proper stuff is when you're confident that your designs will work and that you've got to grips with the technical side and methodology.
I make a living from selling this stuff so I shouldn't be saying it really, but I'm a great advocate of buying tools to fulfil a identified need, rather than tooling up just in case a need arises. As time goes by, you will definitely need to invest in the proper taps and dies to fit the cap - pen customers in the market for a kitless or custom pen don't want to spend ages getting the cap off, they want to do it quickly, which is what triple lead threads will achieve, and single leads from B&Q won't. You may find, with the benefit of experience that you want a better holding method than a jamb chuck and jacobs chuck. You can certainly get away with those to start, but a collet chuck might be better in the long term. A morse taper die holder is another tool that you can do without to start with, but might be a benefit to have in the long run, and so the list goes on.
As I say though, you don't need any of that to begin with, just the taps for the inside of your section. All the rest, you will find out whether or not you need as time goes by and as your experience increases.

Hi Phil,I dont usually mind buying the right tools for the job if one cant improvise I have a collet chuck so thats a start the biggest expenditure seems to be the triple start dies and matching tap,I dont really see much point in making pens you have umpteen turns to remove cap as that is not what I would want if I was a customer,I f you were buying one set which size would you reccomend,the morse taper die holder would that be the sliding one,Axminster has one.
What size thread for the cap is a difficult question to answer Alan, as it relies on so many other things.
Before you can arrive at the answer you first have to consider the requirement to get an ink converter in and out of the pen, which requires a minimum clearance of 8mm, and preferably a tad more. It comes out through the middle of the thread that holds the section in place. You probably already know that to calculate the hole you drill in order to tap a thread, (the minor diameter) you subtract the pitch of the thread from its major diameter - therefore for instance, if you used a thread of say 9x1 you would need to drill at 8mm. That would give you the clearance you need for the converter, so all well and good. 9x0.75 or x0.7 would be even better since the thread would be a bit finer and the clearance would be a bit greater.
So now you've got a hole of at least 8mm and a thread of, we've said 9mm. The size of that thread however could be greater, depending on your design, but I'll stick with 9 for the purposes of this explanation.
The material the that the thread is cut in to though, has a thickness - the wall on the outside of the thread, which could easily vary depending on the size of the pen, the size of the nib you want to use, and the medium you're using. If you assume though that the wall is 1mm thick all round, that adds another 2mm to the 9mm you already have, so you're up to 11mm. It could be a lot more than that if you're designing a fat pen, or less if you're designing a thin pen and using something like aluminium to make it from.
If you go with 11mm for now though, and assume that you're putting your cap thread directly over your section connector thread, that 11mm represents the minimum size of the minor diameter of the cap thread - the diameter of the troughs of the male cap thread. The minor is, as I've already mentioned, major minus pitch, so in this instance, 12x0.8 would do the job, and you'd actually size the thing to 12 instead of 11mm. (in fact a shade under 12, but that's a different matter for another time)
The best thing to do is to sit down with paper and pencil, an eraser and your favourite dram, and start working out how you want it to look, and the geometry necessary to achieve it. Knock up some prototypes using what you've got or what you can afford to buy on the understanding that you might have bought the wrong thing, then once you've got it all sorted both in theory and in practice, invest in the size of triple lead taps you've landed on. It probably will be 12x0.8 - that's certainly the most popular size, but you might find that you want to go for something else for whatever reason.
I hope that helps
Edit: Yes, the Axi MT die holder will do the job as good as any. Unless you're going for a 14mm thread, which I doubt, all our triple lead dies are 1 inch diameter. The 14mm is 1.5" but the Axi unit will hold that one too

I always fancied having a go at making kitless pens, but after reading all this in reality I don't think I'll ever have time, it sounds like there's a lot more work in designing etc than meets the eye.
Quality Artisan Pen Blanks & Casting Moulds for Pen Turners
Made in the UK by Paul & Jackie Buckley
I made a few a long time ago it seems and will again. My firsts were with a 14mm triple that I bought in an IAP ('merican forum) group buy. I also wanted to use the Schmidt Rolling Writer because it used the same tap as a #5 Schmidt fountain pen nib/feed/housing set. Not the easiest to find. So I had got that tap. I used a standard 5/16 UNF tap and die because I had them in my set. I started with the section and worked my way out measuring and fitting as I went. No master piece by any means but it wrote. I also didn't have any fancy die holder so I gripped it with the chuck and hand fed the piece using the tailstock as support. Tapping was done with the "T" tap handle with the end supported by the live centre, turning it in at the same time as the tap. All this to point out you don't need to spend a lot to get started.
Now If I were to do it again I would get the nib I wanted, matching tap and drill bit. A 9mm or 10mm tap/die with a .75 thread pitch (they are cheap so getting both isn't the end of the world) for the section. Inexpensive ones are good enough. I would also get a 12mm,13mm, and maybe a 14mm with a .75 pitch taps/dies but only standard single threads. The reason is to learn with and they are a lot cheaper than getting a triple. You only need to cut the threads long enough to turn a couple times or so to work without taking forever to cap/uncap. Once you made a few and have settled on a size or two you can spring for the triples. You'll need drill bits for all too, both clearance and tap drill sizes. Get some inexpensive acrylic blanks to make those practice pens from and get at least 2 of each because you can't make a kitless with a single blank. Make sure they are the softer garden variety acrylics and not cast or inlace acrylester stuff that is brittle and doesn't thread. If you are wanting to put clips on you'll need to get a tap/die for them unless the 9mm or 10mm will do.
As far as tools first up is a good calliper and I'll leave it to you to decide whether you go with the vernier, dial or electronic digital. You could spring for the tap/die holding sets already mentioned or wait until you know if you're staying with kitless. In the meantime a regular tap handle and your live centre covers that and there are inexpensive die holders that you can slide on a rod (transfer punches, pen disassembly set etc) held in a tailstock chuck. 1 " Machine Dieholder | Chronos Engineering Supplies for example. You can easily turn them by hand and again pop for the better sets when you can. Note there are two sides to a die. The side with the writing starts the thread but if you want to cut to a shoulder turn the die around in the holder to finish the thread. Cleaner crisper work that way. As you already turned pen you probably have the chucks and centres you need. While a collet chuck is nice you can get by with a wood chuck to hold the parts. I use cooking oil to lube the tap and dies when cutting threads. Just clean good after or it dries and gets sticky.
If you are wanting to do rollerballs, ballpoint, clickers or twist you'll need to get different parts and tools but you get the stuff needed to play with them.
I recommend you join the IAP and look through their Library. There are a number of tutorials on making kitless pens that will help you with the overall designing and the way to sequence your work.

THIS week we want your views on whether or not there should be an emergency pack in cars. And what should be in that pack.
There is no law here requiring you to carry a first-aid kit or other emergency pack items but that could be about to change. And it would be good to get your views.
One of the things the Government's Road Safety Strategy 2013-2020 proposes to make compulsory is a breakdown emergency pack to be carried in all vehicles. The pack could include a first-aid kit, a high visibility vest, a breakdown triangle and a torch.
The Road Safety Authority has been given the task of putting together recommendations and presenting them to the Minister for Transport. But before doing that we are keen to get the public's views.
Initial feedback from members of the emergency services suggests that using high-visibility vests and warning triangles in particular are likely to benefit road safety. Every year they have to deal with a number of incidents where a person or vehicle involved in a break-down at the roadside is hit by another vehicle causing a fatality or injury.
There is little evidence available on the safety impact of the inclusion of first-aid kits, high visibility vests, a breakdown triangle and a torch in vehicles. What we have been able to do is find out what's being done in other countries.
We looked at 37 countries and discovered that in the greater majority, a warning triangle is compulsory (30). High visibility vests are compulsory in 18, and first-aid kits in 13. In a further 10, first-aid kits are compulsory in commercial vehicles. There is only one country where a torch is compulsory.
We have an extensive network of rural, and often poorly-lit roads, so a torch in the car could be really useful. It could help drivers and passengers find a safe place away from on-coming traffic, and when changing a tyre. It could also help warn oncoming vehicles of your presence and reduce the possibility of a crash. A high-visibility jacket would also help.
Similarly, a warning triangle could help alert other road users to a potential hazard.
Other motorists would have plenty of advance warning and know that they needed to slow down.
Having a first-aid kit would mean a driver or passengers could attend to minor injuries in their own or another car. The benefits would depend on the skill and confidence of the people involved to administer basic first aid. But despite this people would have the basic equipment and with direction from ambulance dispatch centres, give first aid while awaiting the arrival of paramedics.
One option is to look at introducing the need for all vehicles to carry an emergency breakdown kit in all new cars registered from January 1 next, or for both new and existing cars from July 1, 2016.
Should the RSA ultimately recommend the inclusion of the emergency pack items in new vehicles, the cost may fall to either the car manufacturer or the dealer.
However, should the RSA recommend the inclusion of the emergency pack items in vehicles already in use, this may mean that drivers will need to buy the items.
The RSA believes that the inclusion of a high-visibility vest, a warning triangle, a first-aid kit and a torch would be good for road safety. What do you think? What should go into an emergency pack and who should it apply to?
We would like to hear your views, so log on to the consultation page of rsa.ie, download the proposals, and submit your feedback online. Contact Independent Motors: firstname.lastname@example.com

Neo-Nazi leader loses hotel ban court case (Germany)
Voigt, leader of the far-right National Democratic Party, had sued the Esplanade Resort & Spa in Bad Saarow, Brandenburg.
But on Tuesday, a court in Frankfurt an der Oder ruled that the hotel "had been entitled to bar the NPD leaders to protect their own reputation and image in view of the polarising effect of the NDP in the community."
Furthermore, Voigt was not entitled to have the ban overturned under anti-discrimination laws, the court ruled.
A court spokesman said Voigt had taken the decision calmly. But Voigt's lawyer said his client planned to appeal to a higher court.
Voigt's wife had in autumn last year booked the hotel through a travel agent. But the hotel management then told Voigt on November 23 that he was banned from the hotel.
It declared that it was banning him because his political views were inconsistent with the hotel's stated aim to "offer an excellent travel experience" to every guest.
Voigt felt discriminated against and sued. During the court case, he argued that he was staying at the hotel as a private individual, not for the purposes of political activity. The ban was the result of an agreement within the Hotel and Guesthouse Association, Dehoga, to maintain a ban on "so-called" right-wing extremists, he said.
The court rejected this view.
The hotel welcomed the decision. "This ruling strengthens us in our conviction to create the philosophy of a tolerant and cosmopolitan hotel, on the inside and the outside," manager Heinz Baumeister said.
The Brandenburg chief of hotels association Dehoga said: "We share in the Brandenburg concept of a 'tolerant Brandenburg,' but for us, tolerance ends with right-wing extremism."

Drafting up your bucket list of summer activities? Overwhelmed by all the options? Of course, I'm biased in recommending that you select items from my new book, 100 Things to Do in Colorado Springs Before You Die. Released in May, this book is the first edition of this series for the Pikes Peak region, but just one of St. Louis-based Reedy Press' "100 Things" titles, which have been published for more than 70 cities across the country.
Whether you've picked up a copy or not, here's a sneak peek at some of the entries, one each pulled from the five different categories in the book — with added reasons why you should prioritize these activities for summer 2019.
Enjoy dinner and a movie under the stars at The Margarita at Pine Creek
I truly believe summer isn't summer without taking in dinner and a movie on the patio at The Margarita at Pine Creek (7350 Pine Creek Road, margaritaatpinecreek.com). The north-end restaurant that's been serving up amazing eclectic dishes for 45 years also offers those meals with a classic or contemporary film on a big screen over the outside bar, most Friday evenings after dusk, June through September (weather-dependent). It's like going to a drive-in, if that drive-in served seared scallops, mezze platters and complimentary house-made seasoned popcorn alongside pineapple house-infused tequila margaritas and sangria. (OK, it's not really much like a drive-in except you're outdoors, under the stars, watching a movie.) For those of you who aren't night owls, the Market at the Margarita kicks off June 15, and it'll open the Colorado Farm and Art Market's 15th Anniversary Summer Season (farmandartmarket.com), so pop by for extra-special opening day festivities, including face painting and "Booth Bingo" with prizes.
Engage in innovative arts at Green Box
Even though events don't start until July, registration for the 2019 Green Box Arts Festival (greenboxarts.org) opened June 1, and if you want to get in on some of the free workshops and performances happening through July 13, you'll want to get signed up now. One of the most innovative arts festivals in the Pikes Peak region, Green Box has been bringing nationally recognized contemporary artists, dancers, chefs and more to the small town of Green Mountain Falls for more than a decade. Of course registration isn't required to see this year's featured art installation, "1.8 Green Mountain Falls," by the highly acclaimed Boston-based sculptor and fiber artist Janet Echelman. And that's good, because it's going to be a doozy. ArtDesk, a publication of the Kirkpatrick Foundation (which supports the festival), describes this installation as "a 150-foot-long floating form made of soft fibers that will span Gazebo Lake Park." The artwork will be "a part of Echelman's Earth Time series, which takes the number of microseconds that an earth-day is shortened after a single earthquake — 1.8 — and uses it as a jumping off point for the artist to design her mesmeric creations."
Sled, stargaze and sit silently at the Great Sand Dunes
From hiking to sledding, the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (nps.gov/grsa/index.htm) is a wealth of outdoor activity. But what you might not know is that in May the International Dark-Sky Association designated the Great Sand Dunes as an International Dark Sky Park. The Great Sand Dunes joins just two dozen other such national parks across the country identified by the association for their "exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, [and] cultural heritage and/or public enjoyment." Plan to visit the park, and stay overnight, this summer and participate in an evening solar telescope viewing, a "Park After Dark" Ranger Program, or a Dark Sky Park celebration (date to be announced).
Tour the Air Force Academy
The United States Air Force Academy may be an institution of higher education, but it's also a top tourist destination for many reasons, including its Cadet Chapel (the most visited man-made attraction in the state), Falcon Stadium and popular hiking trails. The newest stop on the Academy tour is the white-domed Planetarium, (usafa.edu/academics/facilities/planetarium) one of the oldest buildings on campus. After a 15-year closure and a multi-year renovation, the Planetarium reopened in March. Be one of the first to visit the venue and experience its state-of-the-art projection technology this summer. Free first-come, first-served shows are open to the public, 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. (Another reason to visit campus this summer? The Cadet Chapel, which was supposed to be shut down for renovations at the beginning of the year, and closed for up to four years, is still open through Sept. 1 as the Academy continues to figure out project funding issues.)
Make these downtown shops a must-stop: Terra Verde, Colorado Co-op, Sparrow Hawk, Mountain Chalet, Escape Velocity Comics and Ladyfingers Letterpress
Tons of stores call downtown home, including the six mentioned above. But there's one of those six that made a big move just weeks ago. For more than 50 years, Mountain Chalet (mtnchalet.com) has sold outdoor gear from its storefront on Tejon Street across from Acacia Park. On May 20, owners Jim and Elaine Smith packed up and hauled the business one block east and two blocks south to 15 N. Nevada Ave., next to CityROCK Climbing Center. While we loved the coziness of the former space, the new spot's got an open and airy feel, thanks to high ceilings and exposed metal beams — and a floor that's 2,000 square feet larger than their previous location, meaning more inventory and more event space. Bonus: free lot parking for shoppers between the new digs and CityROCK.

"Den 4. januar er min sidste dag ved NBC News, og jeg vil gerne sige farvel til mine venner, forhåbenligt ikke for evigt," begynder en email med titlen; "Mit afskedsbrev til NBC", sendt til forskellige kontakter af William M Arkin, en prisvindende journalist, som har være knyttet til selskabet gennem 30 år.
"Det er ikke første gang, jeg har forladt NBC, men denne gang er afskeden mere bittersød; verden og journalistikken er i en tandemkrise", fortsætter emailen. "Min ekspertise, selv om den synes at være desto mere central i forhold til de nuværende udfordringer og farer, synes også at være mindre værdsat for tiden. Og jeg oplever mig selv helt ude af trit med selskabet, idet jeg hverken er interesseret i være en dag-til-dag journalist eller er interesseret i Trump cirkusset."
Kommentar: Delvist oversat af Sott.net fra Reporter Quits NBC Citing Network's Support for Endless War
The lengthy email covers details about Arkin's relationship with NBC and its staff, his opinions about the mainstream media's refusal to adequately scrutinize and criticize the US war machine's spectacular failures in the Middle East, how he "argued endlessly with MSNBC about all things national security for years", the fact that his position as a civilian military analyst was unusual and "peculiar" in a media environment where that role is normally dominated by "THE GENERALS and former government officials," and how he was "one of the few to report that there weren't any WMD in Iraq" and remembers "fondly presenting that conclusion to an incredulous NBC editorial board."
"A scholar at heart, I also found myself an often lone voice that was anti-nuclear and even anti-military, anti-military for me meaning opinionated but also highly knowledgeable, somewhat akin to a movie critic, loving my subject but also not shy about making judgements regarding the flops and the losers," he writes.
Arkin makes clear that NBC is in no way the sole mass media offender in its refusal to question or criticize the normalization of endless warfare, but that he feels increasingly "out of sync" and "out of step" with the network's unhesitating advancement of military interventionist narratives. He writes about how Robert Windrem, NBC News' chief investigative producer, convinced him to join a new investigative unit in the early days of the 2016 presidential race. Arkin writes the following about his experience with the unit:
"I thought that the mission was to break through the machine of perpetual war acceptance and conventional wisdom to challenge Hillary Clinton's hawkishness. It was also an interesting moment at NBC because everyone was looking over their shoulder at Vice and other upstarts creeping up on the mainstream. But then Trump got elected and Investigations got sucked into the tweeting vortex, increasingly lost in a directionless adrenaline rush, the national security and political version of leading the broadcast with every snow storm. And I would assert that in many ways NBC just began emulating the national security state itself - busy and profitable. No wars won but the ball is kept in play.Arkin is no fan of Trump, calling him "an ignorant and incompetent impostor," but describes his shock at NBC's reflexive opposition to the president's "bumbling intuitions" to get along with Russia, to denuclearize North Korea, to get out of the Middle East, and his questioning of the US military's involvement in Africa.
"I'd argue that under Trump, the national security establishment not only hasn't missed a beat but indeed has gained dangerous strength. Now it is ever more autonomous and practically impervious to criticism. I'd also argue, ever so gingerly, that NBC has become somewhat lost in its own verve, proxies of boring moderation and conventional wisdom, defender of the government against Trump, cheerleader for open and subtle threat mongering, in love with procedure and protocol over all else (including results). I accept that there's a lot to report here, but I'm more worried about how much we are missing. Hence my desire to take a step back and think why so little changes with regard to America's wars."
"I'm alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war. Really? We shouldn't get out Syria? We shouldn't go for the bold move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia, though we should be concerned about the brittleness of our democracy that it is so vulnerable to manipulation, do we really yearn for the Cold War? And don't even get me started with the FBI: What? We now lionize this historically destructive institution?""There's a saying about consultants, that organizations hire them to hear exactly what they want to hear," Arkin writes in the conclusion of his statement. "I'm proud to say that NBC didn't do that when it came to me. Similarly I can say that I'm proud that I'm not guilty of giving my employers what they wanted. Still, the things this and most organizations fear most - variability, disturbance, difference - those things that are also the primary drivers of creativity - are not really the things that I see valued in the reporting ranks."
That's about as charitably as it could possibly be said by a skeptical tongue. Another way to say it would be that plutocrat-controlled and government-enmeshed media networks hire reporters to protect the warmongering oligarchic status quo upon which media-controlling plutocrats have built their respective kingdoms, and foster an environment which elevates those who promote establishment-friendly narratives while marginalizing and pressuring anyone who doesn't. It's absolutely bizarre that it should be unusual for there to be a civilian analyst of the US war machine's behaviors in the mainstream media who is skeptical of its failed policies and nonstop bloodshed, and it's a crime that such voices are barely holding on to the fringes of the media stage. Such analysts should be extremely normal and commonplace, not rare and made to feel as though they don't belong.

I kind of miss Michelle Branch and her style, but I think that Dia Frampton is very much in the same vein as Michelle Branch, so I've been enjoying her new album, "Red" that came out on December 6th. This song brings me back to high school. I must be getting old because this song is over a decade old. : / Enjoy the throwback.

And I totally agree(d) with her.
In the fifth episode of her podcast, Vina Ip, or better known as the Singapore property investment blogger called 'Property Soul', shares her thoughts on why HDB flats should be treated as nothing more than a roof over your head.
Yes, there may have been those who benefited from the asset enhancement strategy that the government had in mind during the 90s but those days may be over. Unfortunately, it seems that many Singaporeans still seem to think of an HDB flat as a stepping stone to private property. This may be true for those who bought BTOs but as I've mentioned before, I'm not too sure about those who bought ECs or DBSS units. As for those in the resale market, you're really stretching it.*
My biggest fear in all this is how most Singaporeans (going by those that I've talked to) don't really have any assets other than their primary residence especially if they've bought a piece of property priced near the maximum amount of loan they qualified for. In Singapore, many property buyers are typically stretched on 30-year mortgages. If you've spent your entire working life paying for your house, then how on earth will you ever be able to stop working?
Anyway, if you're into buying property in Singapore, I highly recommend you follow Property Soul's blog and podcast and go read her book. In my opinion, she's as good as it gets when it comes to property investment in Singapore. Good advice on investing in property is pretty rare in Singapore. Just like the financial advisory business, there are too many snake-oil salespeople with their own interests at heart.
*After all, if you've managed to sell your flat for a decent profit, then private property in a similar neighbourhood must command an even greater premium. This means taking on more in terms of a mortgage.

Title: Conner
Author: Miranda Stork
Genre: Paranormal Romance - Werewolves oh my
Released date: April 20, 2012
Publisher: Moon Rose Publishing
Source: Free Copy from Author for honest review
Description from Goodreads:
Conner is an unusual patient who approaches her, thrusting her into a strange world of darkness that runs beneath our own. He believes himself to be a creature of legend-a werewolf. But he also draws Erin with a roguish charm, and an irresitible feeling that seems to bind them together...
Conner desperately tries to save her from an unknown evil that persues her with a relentless passion that crosses centuries, an evil that once took her very soul away, somewhere in Erin's lost memories.
As she becomes more entwined in a series of events that will remind her of who she really is, will she make it away from the oncoming darkness unscathed...?
The interview:
I've been Connerized!! Yep. Read Conner and you'll figure it out why. This is a fantastic werewolf story like none other. A real treat.
Welcome Miranda, I am thrilled that you've stopped by my blog to enchant us with your wonderful wit. (I love this lady).
Thank you for having me here! And you're far too kind. *blushes*
I was born in Guisborough, North Yorkshire in 1987 and have lived in various places around Britain, including Newcastle and Glasgow.
My writing is inspired by various writers, including the vivid characters of Charles Dickens, the imagination of Stephen King, and the gothic imagery of Anne Rice.
My love of horror began at an early age, when I was only three or four. I could read proficiently at the age of three, and devoured fairy-stories, but I always had a bent towards the darker stories, such as the Brother's Grimm's tales...Red Riding Hood was always a firm favourite, although I always felt sorry for the wolf, despite him having tried to eat everyone!
2. Let's go back in time for a short while. In your bio, you mention having had childhood nightmares. Can you tell us how these nightmares may have played a part in the creation of your stories, if at all?
Ooh, good question…I think some of them play a part in my stories, for sure. Although I would probably just call them 'dreams' now; they're still weird, but I'm used to them. Sometimes a particular story just sticks in my head, and I have to write it down. I have lots of ideas noted down, and they may become proper stories in the future.
3. What was your favorite thing to do when you were ten? What was your favorite thing to do when you were sixteen? What is your favorite thing to do now?
I'm not sure if I can remember! When I was ten, it changed every week, but I'm sure it settled somewhere between reading and being outside in the countryside with my friends. When I was sixteen, it still included reading, but it also became about…yes, boys. I'm sorry. *holds hand up* My favourite things to do now include writing, (obviously) but also spending time with my wonderful boyfriend, and our spoilt cat, going to restaurants when I can (as I'm a total foodie), and basically making a nuisance of myself on Facebook. *grin*
4. Could you tell us a little about how you progressed through the writing of your Conner? Did the story come to you wholly formed, or did it sort of construct as you wrote it? How long did it take to write?
I had an idea in my head for some time before I started writing Conner, as I did my degree in psychology, and have always been fascinated by it. Add to this a natural love of all things spooky and supernatural, and you've got…well, Conner. I toyed with the idea of a creature who was told he had a mental illness, when in fact he was real. There were times were Erin was going to be a journalist, or a reporter, but I settled on the psychologist. I'm a 'by-the-pants' writer, but I always have a basic framework in my head of how the story will progress. I like to get the shell written out, and let the characters take me where it's going. It took me about two years altogether, as I wasn't used to writing, and when I was writing 'Erin' it was a lot faster.
5. Conner is sexy, sultry and … well, although this question is asked a lot I love playing with the possibilities and want to hear your opinion. If Conner was to be made into a movie, which I can totally see, whom would you cast in your roles of Conner and Erin?
You have no idea how many times I asked myself the same question! When I write, it's almost like a film playing out in my mind, so I've often thought about it. While I would love to have some unknowns take the main characters, that wouldn't be much help for your blog readers! I think the best fit in my mind for Conner would have to be Colin Farrell, as I can see him being able to pull off the twisted characters of Conner and…oops, nearly let the cat out of the bag there! For Erin, it would possibly be Catherine Zeta Jones, as I think she has that sweetness about her that can turn into kick-ass if needed, which would be perfect for Erin's character. While I don't want to say too much, there IS a plan to maybe get Conner made into an indie film, although I doubt we can get Farrell and Jones!
6. Conner is the first book in the series and I know the next book is Erin, which I can't wait to read, can you tell us the names of any of the future books you have planned for this series?
Well, I'm afraid they're actually not a series. I originally wrote just Conner, and never planned to have more. I realized there was still so much to explore with it, I decided to write Erin as well. While there won't be any more from these two, *sob!* I have a new series coming out near Christmas, about a shadow demon and a feisty detective heroine, which will be called 'Vigilante of Shadows'…
7. If you could go anywhere in the world for a month, with an unlimited amount of money of course, where would you go?
Aw, just one? Oh, okay…um…I think it would have to be Madrid. I haven't visited there yet, but my grandparents on one side are from Madrid, and it would be wonderful to see somewhere that was a little bit of me.
8. Your bio reveals that you started reading at age three and began telling stories to your friends as a kid. Did you write them down then, if not when did you start to do that?
I don't think I can remember a time I didn't write stories in some form. I used to draw pictures first, and then put a sentence or two underneath to describe what was happening; I think that was my first 'writing'. I started writing little stories when I was about five or six. I would fold A4 sheets of paper and draw and write on them, turning them into pretend books. But the stories I used to tell my friends were always based on urban legends floating around at the time, such as the porcelain doll story, which was always a favourite. So if you remember your child coming home crying and having nightmares, from that nice girl at school telling them a story, it might have been me. I'm sorry. I'm so not sorry, I used to find it funny! I think I was a very mischievous child in many ways.
9. Here is that question that I'm sure you get asked all the time. What inspired you to write Conner? And how did you develop his character? Or did he just evolve as your fingers danced over the keyboard?
It's a strange story…I had a friend at the time, who was going through a phase of wanting to be a writer. He wrote a chapter and put it up on a community writing site, and (he won't mind me saying) it was pretty terrible. When I told him this, he challenged me to do better. As the idea for Conner had been rolling around for a while, I naturally decided to bang out the first chapter there and then. His character developed as I wrote more of the story, and the big twist about him came later as well, after I had wrote a little more about him.
10. Can you tell us a little about the cover of Conner and how it came about?
I love the cover-which is really big-headed, because I did it. But I wanted something that was strong and dare I say it…sexy looking? Because both 'Conner' and 'Erin' are about the main characters themselves, I thought it would be perfect to really have them highlighted. The woodland came because a lot of features heavily in the book, and the colours were purely an ascetic choice.
Let's have some fun.
Beach or Lake? Lake, definitely.
Plane or Train? Hmm….going on our trains over here, I'll say plane.
Favorite Beverage? G&T for an adult one, milk when I'm being good. ☺
Vacation spot – Sandy beach or Ancient Ruins? It would have to be Ancient Ruins, I love History.
I won't ask about tea or coffee. I think we all know the answer. I'm English-it has to be tea!
Since Conner is a sexy beast, and I love the scene in the ------, let's spice it up a bit. The most unusual place you've ever had sex.
Ooh, in the gutter already? Let me find my favourite chair. I think the most unusual place would have to be…well, let's just say I'm a member of the mile-high club ;) I'm NOT telling you the most unusual place, none of you would talk to me again, LOL!
That was fun. Dare I go on? Favorite sexual position – Just kidding. We don't need to know this, LOL.
Phew! People's eyes can remain unburned then. :D
Miranda, thank you for sharing your most inner secrets with us. Please tell us where can we find you and your books?
Not at all, it's been fantastic being here!
Please read on as Miranda explains how a book would make a good move, then be sure to catch my review of Conner.
Would Your Book Make A Good Movie?
Come on, admit it. You're just like me, and you've often wondered who would play the perfect part of your main character. If it was made into a movie, that is.
When I'm writing, it's exactly how plots work their way onto my pages. In my head, all of the characters are acting, as though in a movie. And yes, there are often quite a few retakes in there. And whoever makes the sandwiches for the buffet table needs firing, because they're always stale. But we're going off track here, back to the movie. Thinking of it in this way always means that the characters voices are heard in my head, helping me to write down their dialogue in a vivid way.
But more than this, imagining it in such a way allows me to write it almost with the structure of a film. For example, when you are writing a film script, you use the following structure;
Stage One; The Setup.
The first 10% of all screenplays have to draw your reader in. It's no different in a novel. The first part of your book needs to draw people in, and hook them. You introduce the main characters, and must establish an identity with them. (For example, they are the likeable, funny student. Or the creepy yet smart FBI agent. Or the snarky, drunk unicorn. Whatever works.)Your setup should drag the reader from their normal world, and plunge them headfirst into yours.
Stage Two; The Opportunity.
Your character must next be presented with something that will make them have a new desire or goal. Perhaps they get offered the plans to the bank heist of the century, perhaps they are told how they can go back in time, or earn that raise. But something must shift in their universe to make them want something new, to set them down the path you want them to follow.
Stage Three; The New Situation.
This has to be the character's reaction to the previous opportunity. They must get used to the current situation, and devise a plan or idea for it. For example, taking the bank heist idea, the character could work out a plan for it. Perhaps they look for associates to help them with it. Maybe they don't want to do it at all. It make include a change of environment (which will definitely happen in a screenplay), and your character must go elsewhere to continue the story. But, as the situation continues, and your character gets closer to their goal…
Stage Four; The Change of Plans.
This is the point at which the opportunity presented in stage two becomes a defined need for the character. For example, imagine your character's original motivation was to travel to another country, to help someone else get rid of the mafia. But then the mafia kill the character's father. So now the opportunity is defined into something more personal for the character. This is also usually the point your reader (or audience) begin to really root for them to win through and reach their desire.
Stage Five; Progress.
This is the next large chunk of your story. Your hero or heroine works towards their goal, and the story moves on in this way. You can include conflict in this part, of course, but it must seem as though they are edging closer, and all is so far going well.
Stage Six; The Point of No Return.
This is usually the exact halfway point of your book (or screenplay, I'm confusing myself). Your character has fully committed to their goal, and have usually preformed a task, or done something which ensures they cannot go back from this point on. It is almost the point where they are taking the biggest risk of all in the whole book.
Stage Seven; Complications.
This is where the 'spanner in the works' comes in. The plot point that means your character's journey is interrupted, and is usually either a set-back, or a threat in some way. They usually have much to lose now, and are thoroughly entwined in the plot. The stakes also become much higher, whether they win or lose. And success is getting closer, it seems, until…
Stage Eight; The Major Setback.
This is the point which should have readers at the edge of their seats, and something occurs which means that your character seems to have had the ultimate setback. For example, in a story where the boxer has been fighting in the ring, they get one hell of a right-hook from the opponent, and it looks as though they are going down. All hope will seem lost at this point, and they will have to make one final, all-or-nothing push.
Stage Nine; The Final Push.
Your character must now throw everything they have into the basket, count all their chickens, bolt the doors, and however many other references they can fit into one sentence. Your hero or heroine by this point will be broken down, beaten at all odds, and grasping for that last straw. They have to summon all their information learned throughout the plot, all of their courage, and head face-on to the….
Stage Ten; The Climax.
Lots of things have to happen here at once, the character has to face the biggest challenge of all, and determine what their fate will be. At the same time, their motivation, the desire of the whole book, must be resolved. However, the climax is not necessarily the end…
Stage Eleven; The Aftermath.
Depending on the type of book (or screenplay) you are writing, will depend on whether or not you will use this stage. If, for example, you have written a book where the character's climax happens quite near to the end of the book (check out my novel 'Conner' for an example ;) ) then your objective is to leave your reader stunned or on a high. This is usually used if you want a sequel to your current book, no matter what genre. However, if you are writing a romantic novel or a thriller (if there will be no sequel), then usually there is an aftermath. For example, the hero has declared his love for the heroine. But then there may be a short chapter afterwards, describing how they get married, showing them content in their new life. The aim is not to put a full stop there, but to show how your character is now living in their new life now they have completed their goal.
If you follow these steps, your book will read almost like a film, and also as a well-balanced storyline. And you never know, one day you may be getting a call…. ;)

Here is my review of Conner:
"But Erin," he said in his low, deep Irish accent, "Would you do all this if you weren't attracted to me?"
It isn't there!
"It isn't there! It isn't there!
Ahhh…I'm not sure where to begin. My mind is still back in Ireland at Forest Hall … in the shower! LOL. I loved Conner. He's sweet, sexy, sultry and dangerous, or is he? Hmmm… you'll have to read to find out. I loved this book. It literally had me squirming in my seat. SQUIRMING! In a good way. I even got up early in the morning to read because I couldn't sleep until I finished it. Yeah, this book is that good. I'm not a morning person. I did have some difficulty with the author's use of was before sat or stood, as in; "he was stood next to…" I wasn't sure if it was intentional because a great deal of the story was set in Ireland and maybe they talk that way, LOL, but it happened throughout the entire book. It wouldn't surprise me if this book makes the New York Times Best Selling List some day. Lots of twists. Thank you so much for allowing me to read this awesome book, Miranda. I'm looking forward to reading Erin.
Thanks for reading!

When it comes to resources, where is a good place to start? What types of categories are there? To narrow it down a little, one of the most important categories are state and local programs.
State and local programs can come in many different sizes and follow an array of services offered. These types of centers offer much-needed help to those who seek it. According to uwsl.bowmansystems.com (which will list centers geographically is the Salt Lake Area is not what you are looking for) CLD3 Counseling located at 352 South Denver Street (440 E) in Salt Lake City provides counseling for a variety of services that include domestic violence and women's domestic violence. The number for this center is (801) 521-4227.
The Domestic Violence Information Line provides a 24-hour telephone information and referral line specifically designed for domestic violence issues. This service also "maintains a database of shelters and safe-houses, licensed domestic violence treatment programs, victim advocate programs and local domestic violence coalitions throughout Utah." The number for this line is (800) 897-5465. This is a great resource and should be used efficiently.
Changes Counseling in Sandy is one that is not to be overlooked. Located at 8221 South 700 East in Sandy, it "provides treatment for court-ordered clients and others seeking drug and alcohol counseling or mental health treatment. Provides individual and group counseling and educational workshops for children, adolescents, adults and seniors." The number for this counseling center is (801) 542-7060.
One last center is the YWCA Women in Jeopardy located on 322 East 300 South in Salt Lake City. The hotline is (801) 537-8600 and the regular phone number is (801) 355-2804. This should be utilized by women who are needing that extra help on any of the issues previously mentioned.
I have highlighted these four centers and help-lines, but in reality there are innumerable options. I could not have touched base on all of them, but they are out there. Every major and semi-major city in Utah has shelters and resources for all victims of domestic violence to take advantage of.

Today took us all the way across and around Lake Geneva taking the Ferry from Thonon-les-Bains to Lausanne. From there we connected with a train through to Brig where we could board the infamous Glacier Express! However, through our own stupid fault we missed it by a matter of seconds – not to worry another (less busy) train was just behind.
Upon leaving Brig Bahnhofplatz surely the most scenic route we've ever travelled unfolded. The train runs on a rack system and seems to (unlike any I've been on before) pick up and drop the rack as and when it pleases – meaning several times there is an unpleasantly loud thud as the cogs snap in position. 2 hours later we found ourselves in Andermatt and sampled the local fare, which was good, and caught a connecting train onward to Disentis/Muster. The ascent out of Andermatt was incredible! Looping and tunnelling and screeching it's way round corners inside the hill we rose higher and higher above the town. Really impressive stuff!
If you ever get chance to take the Glacier Express or anything along that route with the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, do it. A sensationally beautiful route from start to finish.
So it took us near enough 8 hours to cross Switzerland the scenic way. In the evening we took the sensible choice and boarded an ICE train from Zurich – Bern – Interlaken West. A first for us was that this was a double decker train! Very cool! To compare with the 8 hours to from East – West, it took us a mere 2 ½ hours on the main lines. If you're in a hurry then, don't Glacier Express (it's quite possibly the slowest express train I've ever been on!).
Catherine excelled herself as the day progressed and we got further from FrogLand and closer to Zee Germans! She even managed to explain to the ticket lady so well about our tickets that she spoke to us in 3 different languages to try figure us out. (German newspaper that Cat was reading, English tickets and non-descript clothing!).
So after being up at 6am to watch the sunrise across Lake Geneva, this is Alex and Cat signing off for the night in Interlaken. First thing in the morning we will be on 'the top of Europe' with another early start to catch the first train at 6.30am!

Handwashing transparency valued by Millennials
Those foodservice operators who invested in handwash monitoring because of Norovirus concerns now add another, even more topical and contagious virus to their hit-list, Coronavirus. While these pathogens have many technical differences the two viruses share the property of living on hands and surfaces for a day or more.
Coronavirus joins Noro, the Common Cold and the Flu, making viruses the dominant pathogen type driving staff and student absenteeism.
The legal principle of Strict Liability has not yet come into play for Coronavirus as it does regularly in Norovirus legal actions. Time will tell. Fortunately handwashing is a very effective first line of defense for both – provided the staff is actually washing at the frequency agreed with management as safe.
Clients of the 14 St. Louis based Crushed Red restaurants have replaced "hope" that the employees are washing their hands with knowledge that they actually are. "We know" trumps "We hope" from both a customer perspective as well as that of the ownership. Read perspective from an owner.
Transparency is highly valued by many customer groups with Millennials leading the charge. They are reassured by banners in the service line announcing Crushed Red's certification by Handwashing For Life and The Clean Hands Company, the supplier of the data gathering/reporting system. This is again reinforced as customers see employees step up to the restroom hand sink and speak their name as they are credited for their actual handwash.
Handwashing has earned its way into Crushed Red's customer loyalty program, adding an important layer of customer confidence at a time when diner decisions are heavily influenced by added protection from all the viruses, including Coronavirus.

Barnsdales FM steams ahead with museums contract
Published: 7th June 2016
Barnsdales FM is playing a leading role in helping to preserve the country's heritage after securing a contract to maintain the Science Museum Group's (SMG) sites across the north of England.
The business, part of the Barnsdales commercial and residential property group, is assisting the SMG with the National Railway Museum in York, the National Media Museum in Bradford, the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester and the Locomotion Museum in Shildon, County Durham.
The appointment comes after the announcement of a record year for the SMG. Visitor numbers across all the sites reached 5.5 million including 750,000 at York – an increase of 3.1 per cent – and 460,000 at Bradford, up 11.1 per cent.
Clive Chippindale, who launched Barnsdales FM earlier this year after working in facilities management for more than 20 years, said: "Improving the visitor experience is very important to the SMG and our aim is to assist with that and help them to protect our cultural heritage.
"There is a lot of work going on in York with investment in the infrastructure and it's a similar scenario in Manchester, Bradford and Shildon. We are helping with the long term maintenance strategy and the life cycle planning of the buildings. There is a lot of planning going into the conservation of the buildings and how they will be maintained in the long term."
Mr Chippindale becomes the SMG's interim head of estates for the north and continues to oversee Barnsdale FM's other projects, including management of a five-strong team which is expanding.
He said: "We have already appointed Jodi Potter to support the SMG project and provide management experience to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry with the development of St Johns Quarter and we expect to announce further recruitment as we secure new work which is currently in the pipeline.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Barnsdales FM and a sign of our growing reputation as a safe pair of hands to be entrusted to support SMG and the facilities for our national heritage collections."

Here's why a growing number of couples are considering tying the knot in the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark decision on marriage equality
SHANNON KEENE WAS ELATED when she first heard the news that the U.S. Supreme Court had declared marriage equality the rule of the land. "I thought, 'Finally, my marriage is recognized as the same as my sister's. Finally, it will be recognized like all other marriages in the country,'" she says.
Under the laws of Pennsylvania, where Keene lives and works as a senior vice president for Bank of America, her marriage was already recognized as legal. But after the June 26, 2015, ruling, Keene and her spouse knew they'd be eligible to receive the same benefits, rights and privileges as opposite-sex married couples everywhere in the United States. Although pockets of resistance still exist, the Supreme Court's decision legally entitles same-sex couples to make critical health-care decisions for each other should one of them become ill while traveling out of state, and if they have to relocate for work, their marriage should be recognized throughout the country.
"It was definitely a red-letter day for the LGBT community," recalls Christopher Thangaraj, another senior vice president for Bank of America, based in Chicago, adding that now he hears men in their 20s talking about marriage in a way he would never have considered when he was their age. "I don't think any of us ever anticipated how quickly things would change," Keene notes. "We've even started to see forms revised over the last few years. Instead of Mother and Father, they now say Parent 1 and Parent 2."
Since the ruling, public support has risen steadily: 67% of Americans are now in favor of same-sex marriage, according to Gallup.1 There's also evidence that the ruling has led to an increase in the number of same-sex marriages with Gallup reporting that the percentage of LGBT couples married to a same-sex spouse is now more than 10.4%. But "mostly the ruling has caused people to ask, 'Does getting married make sense for us?'" says Bill Moran, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor who specializes in working with LGBT couples.
We caught up with Moran for more insights on what the Supreme Court ruling has meant for the financial lives of LGBT couples.
Merrill: How did the ruling change the lives of your LGBT clients? Did more of them tie the knot?
Bill Moran: I definitely had clients who got married because they felt that the federal laws protecting the rights of married couples would give them better protection than the laws of the states they live in. But it wasn't so much that everybody rushed out to get married. Mostly, it caused people to sit down and talk about the pluses and minuses of getting married, compared with the strategies they were using before, and how their financial plans might change if they do get married. It's a new path for them to consider.
I've also had clients—some of whom have been together for decades—who still aren't certain that marriage is right for them. I say to them, "Okay, if you're not going to get married, then we have to go through the extra hoops that will make sure your wishes are protected." Then I go back to doing what I've been doing for the last 15 years for clients, such as helping them establish trusts to ensure that partners receive their intended inheritances.
Merrill: What do you view as some of the most important financial implications of the ruling?
BM: For years, couples were putting together a legal patchwork to imitate the rights of married people, but that's all changed now. The ruling gave married same-sex couples the same spousal benefits—for pensions as well as Social Security—that opposite-sex couples have long enjoyed, and that's huge.
For couples who don't already have a good financial strategy in place, tax and estate planning are probably the areas where they're seeing the biggest incentive to tie the knot. You need to consult with a tax professional in these areas. But when a couple is legally married, an unlimited amount of assets can be transferred as a gift or as an inheritance from one spouse to the other, with no tax consequences. That's not the case for unmarried partners. Even more important, as an unmarried partner, if you die without a will or a trust—we certainly don't recommend that, but it happens—your partner wouldn't be legally entitled to inherit your estate.
Merrill: Are there any financial disadvantages for same-sex couples who are considering marriage?
BM: When both spouses are making good money, they may end up paying higher taxes on their combined income as a married couple. That's the so-called marriage penalty. An accountant can advise you in that area.
Merrill: What are the next steps—where do LGBT couples go from here?
BM: The fact that you can get married is fantastic, but there are still many parts of this country where people are afraid to talk openly about having a same-sex partner, even when they've been with that person for many years. And there are still reasons for LGBT people to question their safety.
Married or not, LGBT individuals in a majority of states can still be unfairly fired or denied housing. And discrimination toward adoptive same-sex parents still occurs. Getting full federal protection against discrimination on those fronts is a very pressing issue. There's also a lot taking place around transgender rights—and a great deal of education and awareness that needs to happen.
3 Questions to Ask Your Advisor
- How would the financial strategies I have in place change if my partner and I get married?
- What spousal benefits might my partner and I be entitled to if we get married?
- Should we consider establishing a trust to protect the interests of our children?

23 July 2019
A window cleaner was using abseilling equipment to clean windows at Cardiff and Vale University Hospital when he fell from the end of the beam that was supporting him as there was no 'end stop' fitted. As a result, he suffered 'significant and life-changing injuries'.
A full investigation into the incident took place and a court heard that the individuals' employer had failed to effectively plan the job, and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board had also failed to undertake suitable checks to ensure that the company was competent to carry out the work. The Health Board also provided the beam but had failed to ensure that it had been examined for safety.
As a result the Health Board pleaded guilty to breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act and were fined £400,000 as well as £15,846 in costs.
The window cleaning company pleaded guilty to breaching Work at Height Regulations 2005, and their company director was subsequently banned from being a company director for five years.
A 53-year-old construction worker died last month after falling from scaffolding whilst working on a housing development. Work was suspended after the incident and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched an inviestigation.
Both of these tragic accidents serve to remind us of the importance of using appropriate equipment and safety techniques whilst working at height.
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 were introduced in a bid to prevent death and injury caused by falls from height, therefore minimising risks to workers. Roof work is particularly high risk and falls from roofs, through fragile roofs and fragile roof lights are some of the most common causes of workplace death and serious injury. Many people think that Working at Height incidents only happen in construction but these accidents can also occur when roof repair work or cleaning is being carried out on, for example, factories, warehouses, hospitals, farm buildings and many other types of building.
Click here to download Working at Height: A Brief Guide from the HSE
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 applies to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. Employers, facilities managers, building owners and anyone else that controls work at height can be held responsible should an accident occur.
Latest statistics from the HSE reveal that, although falls from height are reducing, they are still one of the most common causes of injuries to employees and account for around 29% of fatalities in the workplace.
One of the best ways for a business to minimise its risks from Work at Height activities is to remain compliant with the legislation - and for many businesses this means training their employees to a high standard.

Another variable optics question
Mo Zee posted a topic in Gear & AccessoriesSo I've been playing around in 3gun for some time now and just purchased a new rifle. I'm looking at variable power optics which, here in South Africa is scarce and pricey. I've shortlisted 2, the Vortex Razor JM1 or the Swarovski Z8i BRT. The price tag on the Swarovski is almost 1000USD more here, so I would like to know if it's worth it? Yes it has 8x magnification but I'm primarily using it for IPSC (max 300m) and 3gun, so I don't think that Max power is a train smash. Any feedback with be appreciated.

Cmore dot modules for aluminum scopes
Mo Zee posted a topic in Open PistolsI was window shopping at Cmore's website and found the option to purchase dot modules for the aluminum bodies of their scopes. I have 2 of the aluminum scopes which work great l, but I also have a few modules laying around for the polymer scopes and the intention was to keep them for spares. Is there any reason not to use what I have in the aluminum bodied ones?

Christmas is right around the corner, already! and maybe you have not planned your dinner, or maybe you are going to a party and need something good, easy and nutritious to balance the craziness of the season! So here I propose a great raw vegan stuffing with the gravy in tow if you like.
Merry Christmas from The team of East West Holistic!
- 4 cups of mixed nuts of your choice ( almonds, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, raw and alive)
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 cup grated butternut squash
- 1 grated apple
- 1/2 diced red onion (optional)
- 1 or 2 cloves chopped garlic (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 2 cup fresh chopped mushrooms(like oyster, portabellos etc…)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp dry sage
- 2 tsp fresh or dry thyme
- 1 tsp fresh or dry oregano
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
- 2 or 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp chick pea miso
December 23, evening (on the first day of Christmas)
- Soak your nuts and seeds before going to bed, and let them sit on your counter all night
December 24, morning (second day of Christmas)
- Now it is time to place them in the dehydrator at 105º or in your oven on the lowest setting with the door ajar for about 3 hours or till dry.
- You can chop your vegetables and herbs(reserve the parsley) by hands or pulse them in your food processor for easiness (careful not to pulse too much water out of it)
- If too watery drain in a milk bag (reserve for the gravy); you want your veggies to be dry.
- Better chop the mushrooms by hand, and grate the apple
- Whisk olive oil, vinegar, salt and miso in a large bowl and fold with the vegetables
- Place in a glass dish, covered with plastic wrap, into your dehydrator, and let it stay till the next day.
December 25 (last day, yeah! it's Christmas!)
- Now get the vegetables and nuts out of your dehydrator.
- Grind the nuts into small pieces in your food processor and mix with the vegetables; add the parsley
- If the veggies are too wet, drain a little before adding the nuts (you are not making a soup!) and check the seasoning please!
- Put it back into the dehydrator uncover and let it stay there until serving time.
I like to use dry shiitake mushrooms because of their great flavor.
- 2 cups of dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 cup soaked raw cashews (2 hours)
- Juice reserved from vegetable stuffing
- 1 to 2 cups of water or you can use almond milk for a more silky gravy
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp chick pea miso
- 1½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp dried sage
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- The day before Christmas soak your shiitake mushrooms to rehydrate them (you can do that in the evening and let them soak all night or at least 2 hours in warm water if you forgot)
- Christmas morning take ½ cup of the shiitake and slice them thin, coat with 1 tsp of the tamari and place in the dehydrator for 2 hours at 105° (reserve)
- Now place everything else in a blender with juice and 1 cup of the water, cream for at least 1mn or till the mix is very smooth. If too thick add more water to desired consistency. Check seasoning, fold in the reserved mushrooms and keep warm till serving time.
- You can add more fresh parsley when serving.

Clip of me animating, less time and more detail than Adam Phillips, but his movements are better and he does godly backgrounds unlike me.
Lolis are one of the few reasons I keep living. If you like this sort of weird shit check the other stuff on my Youtube channel.
I remember I used to visit this site so much. I was never really good at fitting into online communities though, even now when my work is sort of recognized. In any case if anyone reading this has some sort of idea for a group project or wants animation tips you can comment or send me a PM, although it might be better to find someone in the forums. (I know some things about tweening but I would never suggest it to a true lover of animation) Guess my 19 fans decide to remain mostly silent XD. Can't really blame them.
I played Portal Defenders, NG Rumble, Colony, FPA: World 3 recently and they really bring back some good memories, although I invested my gaming in Lost Saga and anime since 10th grade or so, and sort of have no replacement for it now that it's gone broken and bad (there's still hope with the new publisher though!) I don't know ever since then I've become lazy with what I wanted to upload on Newgrounds -- there are plenty of stuff on DA and Youtube that I have but I guess I'm just lazy and only upload a few things here... I've said before that my tastes aren't exactly similar to the Newgrounds standards anyhow.

It is possible to put a saddle on a pig () and ride it uncontrollably.
It could be fun to have a pig as a riding transport for fun (or it could be just funny).
People had other very fun ideas actually.
I have tested in creative that vanilla Carrot on a Stick still controls a saddled pig, consuming the item slowly.
The item doesn't seem to have any harmful/cheating abilities.
Could you please add a dispenser at each Spawn so people could exchange/buy these things and ride pigs (for fun).
E.g. for a fishing rod + 160oz carrot, or for a golden ingot ().
Please consider.
If any player also wants this to happen please add your opinions here too.

Today is my 41st B-day, and to celebrate I am having cupcakes from the Cupcake Station this year for my cake. The love the idea of cupcakes because you can have a variety, they are cute little cakes, everyone can have their favorite, and you only need one candle.
Cupcakes are all the rage these days. It make sense. Along with coffee shops, cupcakes places offer a place to hang out and have both coffee/hot coco and cake. Most cupcake places sell mini's, which lets people to have a small taste instead of eating a whole big sized cupcake, or other full serving size desserts. I figure that 3-4 minis make one ful sized cupcake, so if you want a cupcake, but do not want to over do it, you can get a mini sampler which I prefer.
So how are the cupcakes at the Cupcake Station? They were voted the best of Ann Arbor this year, and I have to excitingly agree. They are the best in the city, and in my opinion the best I have ever had. I am a big fan of what I call hearty frosting. The chocolate frosting is rich, thick and fudge like, and the cream cream frosting was also what I call on the hearty side. Some cupcakes I have had in the past were all show. The cake and the frosting are a pretty cloud, but there is not much there, there.
The Cupcake Station offers some 24 varieties of cupcakes. I have tried four (mini's) so far (red velvet, pb & c, vanilla petal, and the original vanilla cake and chocolate frosting) and have been please with all of them.
Deep B-day thoughts?: 41 is not a freak out B-day like the ones that end in a zero. But 41 is no small event either. In the not so far past 41 was a ripe old age, and most were considered lucky to hit 41 in good shape.
I am planning for a very productive 41st year on the planet.I am in process of writing a few books (comic book/graphic novels), will be launching my microgreens biz this spring and summer, and relocating to Lansing to attend MSU in the fall to study documentary film. Also, along with writing this blog, I hopefully will be taking up the ukulele, which I got for last years B-day but have not touched.
