Cappadocia Balloon Tour, This flight is a little bit different from the standard flight, our area of take off varies depending on the whether conditions, thus both the route of the flight is kept longer and all of the beauties of the Cappadocia region are presented in front of your eyes. Before the sun rise in the morning, we pick up our guests from their respective hotels with our own vehicles and bring them to the balloon take off area. While you are enjoying our offers of small snacks and taking sips from your tea of coffee, we prepare our balloons in a safe manner. When our preparations are completed, our passengers take their places inside the basket and we take off after the safety briefing of our pilot. With the rise of the sun, all of the beauties of the region are now under your feet sometimes as if you are as close as to touch them, and sometimes with a bird's eye view. The time of this flight is between 90 minutes to 120 minutes on an average provided that the whether conditions are as desired. After our flight is completed, we land to an appropriate area with the help of our landing team. With a small celebration party that we give in the area of landing, your flight certificates are provided which you could keep as a souvenir are presented to you. After this all of our passengers are dropped off at their respective hotels. Your being picked up from your hotels and benig dropped back at your hotels takes an average of 3 hours.

How many more innocent people will die before we take mental health care seriously? Despite Newtown and other horrific tragedies, the state of Connecticut continues to reduce services for the mentally ill.
The most recent assault comes in the form of a 15 percent cut to reimbursement for home health nurses to ensure patients living in the community take their medications as prescribed. The nurse medication program was developed when the state closed psychiatric hospitals and sent those patients back to the community. This system has functioned well for many years, allowing impaired individuals to function in the community.
With the rate cut, which is due to be implemented on July 1, many home care agencies are considering discontinuing the service, as it will no longer be affordable. Many clients will be neglected as a result, ending up in emergency rooms or jails if their behavior becomes erratic and perhaps violent.

Chisom, a 17-year-old girl who got A's in the 2019 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), has lost her life. It was learnt that Chisom got 7 A1s, and emerged the best student from her school, Graceland college in Enugu last year. She won many awards in her school, and now death has caught short the life of this Young girl. According to a Facebook user, Michael Okoli who shared that sad news on the platform, Chisom died following a sickness which started off as a leg pain, but became severe over the year. The father of the girl who is a Professor, shared a very touching story of how his daughter died on Facebook. According to what he posted, the young girl started complaining of having a pain in the leg and just like every father that desires the best for their child, he decided to fly her to South Africa because he didn't have trust in the medical system of this country. "At first, they were happy with her recovery rate, but they never knew it was going to end lik

Often when a person advances, old friends or supporters will notice that the person no longer has the time for them that they once did. One may think or say things such as "he's changed." Notice that change is framed as though it is a bad thing. But is it? Maybe, maybe not, but since when is not changing a virtue? Isn't life by nature generally about change and growth?
Instead, it is best to think, "well, good for them." If they have moved up or advanced and no longer have time to answer your calls or texts, that's great! Be happy that they are improving, moving on, or fulfilling their purpose. After all, what kind of friend, has a pity party in their friend's success? Certainly, that is no real friend.
Sometimes, perhaps a person worked with the recently promoted or helped the recently promoted to get where he was. Maybe the complainer supported or sometimes worked closely with the advancing person. You may hear them say, "I guess he thinks he's too good for me now," or "he doesn't even appreciate all I did for him." But did that person do it only for the other or did they in part do it for themselves? Were they forced to do it? Were they forced to help? Didn't they want to do it? If not, that is their own error and not the fault of anyone else. If it was an on-the-job situation, weren't they paid for it?
As for your personal situation don't forget, if you had not been there, someone else would have most likely filled your role instead. That aside, it's still good when someone advances, even if they no longer return calls or texts. It's good they moved forward. Perhaps any resentment you have may show where your life is lacking.
If you were of any help to this person succeeding, even a small part, that is wonderful. It is great if you supported or assisted, even in a small way. Take a good look at yourself. Perhaps it's
now time for you to do something bigger. You cannot be a good leader until you are a good follower. If you followed this person well and now they advanced, you are a good follower and your chance has just come closer.
If you aren't interested in leading that is fine too. Leaders need support. What good is a leader with no supporters or good team players to help carry out the work? Nothing will get done. The small tasks a team player does is just as important as what the advancing person does. If you actually helped them, that is great. Perhaps you are good at what you do.
Perhaps you are a great and valuable team player. Perhaps you are a good support person. Those can be hard to find. There is no less glory in being a team player, or a support person, rather than the leader. All need each other. All are of equal importance. All parts combine to make the whole.
Consider this. Just keep doing what you are doing and if necessary find another team. Also, remember that unconditional love is happy to let go when the time arrives. That means everything is going as it should be. Maybe you thought that you were good friends. Friends should know when to let go. True friends can meet up ten years later and start right where the left off. Let go. Let them find their way.
So next time you don't get a reply, look at your phone and smile. Be happy they moved on to bigger things. They may merely be short of time now, and maybe you should be glad it's not you. Team players take a lot fewer problems home and find it easier to sit back and relax. Chances are you're just as lucky as they are and sometimes even luckier. Enjoy life. Next time they don't reply, smile and wish them the best.

Welcome back, Smithy!
(FYI, if your name isn't Smithy, please read Part 1 of this series before continuing!)
Today we're going to continue our discussion on Wordsmithing, one of my favorite activities.
Over the years, I've been accumulating quite the collection of derivations, origins and etymologies of key business terms.
The other day I (finally) finished going through all of my articles, chapters, blog posts and writings from the past six years (yikes!)
And what's fascinating about Wordsmithing, especially etymologies, is how your entire philosophy on something (say, "customer satisfaction") can change once you figure out the TRUE meaning behind the word.
So, we'll do six today and seven tomorrow.
Let's get our Smith on…
1. The world APPROACHABILITY comes from the Latin apropiare, which means, "To come nearer to."
LESSON LEARNED: it's a two-way street — sticking yourself out there AND getting them to come to you.
QUESTION: Are you doing both?
2. The word DEPRECATION stems from the Latin deprecari, which means, "To avert by prayer."
LESSON LEARNED: self-deprecating humor avoids threatening, offending or alienating people.
QUESTION: Are you making fun of yourself enough?
3. The word DOMAIN comes from the Latin dominium, which means "property."
LESSON LEARNED: he who owns the domain, owns the idea.
QUESTION: What's the first thing YOU do when you get a new idea?
4. The word SATISFY comes from the Latin satisfacere, which means, "Content, to do enough."
LESSON LEARNED: satisfaction proves nothing.
QUESTION: Do you (really) think "satisfied" customers are telling their friends about you?
5. The word LOYAL comes from the English leal, which means, "faithful."
LESSON LEARNED: loyalty trumps satisfaction.
QUESTION: Why are YOU loyal?
6. The word INSISTENT comes from the Latin insistere, which means, "To be demanding and repetitive."
LESSON LEARNED: insistence trumps satisfaction AND loyalty.
QUESTION: Do you have customers or fans?
What's your favorite etymology or word origin?

Emergency Services Information
We provide access to emergency and non-emergency services through our service. Emergency services are available on 999 and 112, whilst non-emergency services include 101, 111, and services starting 116.
Calls made via VoIP to the emergency services including 999, 112 and any other such numbers;
i. are delivered initially to a contact centre, who will confirm the physical address of the caller before connecting them to the relevant emergency service, and
ii. Require that you have power to your VoIP telephone, your internet router and all other intermediary equipment, and also a working internet connection, and
iii. Require that you have completed and returned Appendix A to us, and
iv. Are delivered through the public internet, and therefore may not be handled or routed with the same priority or urgency as emergency calls made via a traditional fixed-line or mobile telephone, and
v. May be subject to a usage charge, and
vi. Must not be made other than in an emergency. Hoax calls and testing of the emergency services call centre is considered misuse and will be subject to a charge.
a. As a result of clause 5d We recommend that calls to the emergency services are made from a mobile or other fixed-line connection, and that a basic telephone that does not require power (i.e. NOT a cordless phone, which DOES require power) is kept connected to your fixed line connection for such emergency use.
If you will rely solely on our voice service and therefore do not have any other access to make emergency calls in the event of a power cut, or are otherwise considered 'at-risk' of such an eventuality, please let us know so we can ensure our obligations under Ofcom's GC3 are met. This means providing a no-cost method by which you can make emergency calls in the event of a power cut for a minimum of 1 hour.
For the avoidance of doubt, you may request that we provide this facility even if you would not be considered at-risk – however we may charge for providing this facility.
We have 2 possible solutions for at-risk users – one based on a VOIP battery backup and one based on a provided mobile service.

At the head of Loch Brittle is a big beach. There is sand here at all states of the tide, and plenty of space for playing, kite flying and the like. The sand is not white, but that apart it is a beautiful spot. An added advantage here is the nearby campsite shop for ice lollies and cold drinks. (Or hot drinks and survival blankets, if you're less lucky)
There is parking for cars right by the beach. Go to the end of the road just before the entrance to the camp site, at NG409206.
For strong swimmers only:
There is much fun to be had by heading out from the beach, following the bottom of the low cliffs on the left hand side. Here you will find the burns that drain from the Cuillin forming great waterfalls that drop vertically into the sea. The best one is the 'Demon Shower', where the Allt na Buaile Duibhe arrives in some considerable style. After a sunny afternoon, the shower will be pleasantly warm, and very powerful. Always a better place to wash than in than the campsite toilets!

How to Cook Perfect Bacon
There's nothing like filling the house with the sweet aroma of bacon only to step up to the pan and realise you've over cooked and all you're left with is a dry, tasteless piece of bacon.
It happens to the best of us but this little trick from Bryan Roof from America's Test Kitchen sets out to offer up the perfect tricks needed to avoid bacon disappointment.
The trick involves using water to slow down the cooking process and allow the bacon to retain its moisture.
The technique ensures that bacon is eventually finished with a nice crispy edge while remaining nice and moist.
Take a look at the video - you'll never cook bacon the same way again.

By Daniel Ritz
At the City Council meeting on March 20, Council heard the second of two required public input sessions before potential district maps are formed by demographers National Demographic Corporations (NDC).
During a lengthy public-comment session, many speakers voiced concern over points made in the prior night's Capo Cares meeting held at Capo Beach Church, that by-district voting is not a progressive solution to the racially polarized voting claimed by attorney Russel D. Myrick of RDM Legal Group who deems Dana Point in violation of the California Voters Rights Act (CVRA).
A representative from NDC speaking to the Council explained that although NDC may find a city's voting pattern to not be racially polarized, but that it in no way concludes a judge would uphold the same legal opinion.
Dana Point City Attorney Patrick Munoz explained that as the CVRA is written, the burden of proof is on the cities to prove that their voting records do not show racially polarized voting.
"As the law is written, if you district, and stay within the safe-harbor mandates, you are immune (from a lawsuit) even if it (by-district voting) doesn't help the real issue," Munoz said, responding to City Council member Paul Wyatt, who was largely concerned with identifying and looking to assist communities that feel disenfranchised by the current voting system.
Many members of the public, and City Council member Debra Lewis, voiced interest in seeking "alternative methods," such as what the City of Mission Viejo has done. Mission Viejo admitted to racially polarized voting, but determined that by-district voting would not solve that issue, and is in talks with the legal group threatening suit over a CVRA violation.
"In my opinion, he (Attorney Kevin Shenkman, who notified Mission Viejo of their CVRA violation) is going to tell them to stuff it," said Munoz. Munoz continued, emphasizing that only establishing by-district voting permanently ensures safe-harbor from future lawsuits concerning CVRA violation.
Council member Joe Mueller said that he was disappointed that the discussion had not given the demographers, "anything that they actually needed."
"They needed to know, 'what are your neighborhoods of interest?'"
After the two public input sessions, NDC will release multiple by-district voting maps for discussion at the next City Council meeting. The maps, which are interactive, will be available on the www.danapoint.org website seven days before the meeting.

About Me
Who is Dave?
Behind my Plum Street Apartment, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, Spring 1971.
I used to work for US Suzuki Motor Corporation as District Sales Manager in Southern Ohio. "Super Hunky of Dirt Bike Magazine visits my Corporate Suzuki Booth, 1980 in Cincinnati
1973, A Kawasaki G4TR My first dirt bike and first and only broken bone in 47 years of off road riding.
2019 Riding off-road Wayne National Forest near Athens, Ohio
Georgia Pass, near Breckenridge, Colorado, 2016
My name is David. I grew up in the 60's in an era where the curious phenomena of little Japanese motorcycles just started making the scene. These cute little things were never be considered "real" motorcycles by most enthusiasts at the time. However, for a kid, there was no better diversion that two wheels and some speed. It was quite a revelation to find out that on a Honda Step Through 50, if you pushed the gearshift back further in first gear, it was like having a clutch in neutral. You then revved it up and lifted your foot it would pop a little short wheelie as it purred its way down the road.
These bikes were pristine little marvels; not like those big bulky Harleys that you could barely hold up, let alone ever think about being able to afford. They had flawless paint and smooth lines. The engines purred while idling but roared at red line. They were also as dependable as the sun coming up. Most importantly, you didn't have to always tinker with them to get them running.
Did you ever notice that at the very top of most small bore vintage gas tanks have lots of little tiny scratches? Ever wonder why? Well, I am sure that my experience riding my friend Jimmy Brandt's Honda Super 90 may tell the story. At the time, nothing was more important than trying for the land speed record watching the speedometer creep up: 59, 60, 61,maybe even 62 if there was a tail wind that day. All those tanks were scratched from buttons, zippers and crosses because their riders were lying prostrate on the tank trying for just a couple of more MPH. Ah yes, those were certainly the days and I love to share the memories with you.
As District Sales Manager for both US Suzuki Motor Corporation and Steyr Daimler Puch in the 1980's, I sold motorcycles and mopeds in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. I had a wonderful time working with products that I used personally, and met a lot of wonderful people. I switched careers in the late 1980's into recruiting information technology professionals, but never lost my love for two wheels. My sons and I had a blast riding dirt bikes, and I kept up with off road motorcycling with over ten off road adventures to the heights of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and New Mexico. I still own a Suzuki DRZ 400 set up for off road riding--and have for the last several years hit the Hatfield McCoy Trails of West Virginia, and our last trip out west to Colorado and New Mexico was in 2016.
Today, I live in the Columbus, Ohio area. I spend most of my free time tinkering around with old Japanese motorcycles. I have owned several hundred of them, most of which I bought simply because I couldn't afford them when I was younger. I often rescue them from dark, dank garages in desperate locations. I must get some sort of perverse satisfaction out of busting my knuckles cleaning impossibly blocked pilot jet passages on Keihin or Mikuni carburetors.
I learned some time ago, that you can only collect so many, and then they get neglected and never ridden. Now it is my passion to re-unite people with the motorcycles they owned in the past. It is a great feeling to connect someone with something they had as a younger person, but never thought they could find one again. Only YOU can imagine how excited my customers are when they are able to ride the bikes of their youth.
I have put together what I hope is a good mix of motorcycle memories, motorcycles for sale, and nostalgia pictures and information. If you are one of the people that I have met along the way, please send me an email to re-connect.
I hope you enjoy my website.

The 16-MW Langhope Rig Wind Farm -- located on the Scottish Borders, approximately 5 kilometers west of Ashkirk, and 4 kilometers southeast of Ettrickbridge -- will generate the equivalent energy needs of approximately 15,000 Scottish homes when complete."GE's wind turbines were the right fit for the Langhope Rig Wind Farm site," said Kirstanne McDowell, corporate affairs, wholesale, for SSE Renewables, the largest generator of electricity from renewable sources across the U.K. and Ireland. (As of September 2013, SSE Renewables had 3,237 MW of renewable energy capacity in the U.K. and Ireland.) Langhope Rig Wind Farm has a hub height restriction of 82.5 meters and a blade length restriction of 40.2 meters. GE's 1.6-82.5 wind turbines, which have a hub height of 82.5 meters, will be used at the site. GE also will provide operations and maintenance for the wind farm working in conjunction with SSE under their long-term, strategic fleet management arrangements. The Langhope Rig project, with the support of GE, aims to help the Scottish government achieve its challenging renewable energy targets. In short, the Scottish Government's goal is for renewables to generate the equivalent of 100 per cent gross annual consumption by 2020, with a new interim target of 50 per cent by 2015. "Wind energy is fast growing in Scotland, and we are proud to help bring a cleaner source of power to the region," said Cliff Harris, general manager of GE's renewable energy business in Europe.

Review: Bag of Love Oct10:25 PM
These are all the stuff in the Bag of
Love Lice.
Altogether, there are seven (7) items!
This is her Description Sheet which tells how to use the product. Love Mi Mi's caricature!
A witch on a broomstick!
This is the October bag! It's simple, white material and to close it, I have to pull the two ropes at the bag's mouth. The pumpkin is too adorable!
Now, let's take a look at the products in the bag!
SP Color Save Shampoo, 250ml, RM72
Bag of Love provided a sample, 30ml. If your hair love it, you can purchase it. :)
I started my love of hair dyes this year and my hair is quite damage. Even now, I stock up on a lot of hair cares like shampoo, conditioner, oils, leave-on conditioner, etc..
Too bad I bought my new hair care shampoo and conditioner just last week. However, I might consider SP next time when my supply runs out.
SP Repair Mask, 200ml, RM109
Sample size, 30ml.
Actually, I don't remember the last time I used a hair mask. Time to try out this product and hope I get shiny, manageable hair! (P.S: Bag of Love, are you psychic?? Just what I need!)
Collistar Biorevitalizing Anti-cellulite Concentrate, 200ml, RM185
Sample size, 30ml
Never tried any type of cream before.. Okay, challenge accepted!
Nanowhite Infinity Color Correction (CC) Cream SPF50/Pa+++
Full sized, RM49.90
This product is totally unexpected, Bag of Love! Scroll down to know why~ :D
There are two different brushes, either Definite Smudger Brush or Definite Eye Blender Brush.
I got Definite Smudger Brush.
Full sized, RM69
My first make-up brush which has a brand! Honestly, most good ones are so pricey so I will think and think whether I will use them or they will collect dust and spiders in some hidden space in my room. Thanks, Bag of Love, for my first official make-up brush! :)
Splassh Mini Glow in the Dark Nail Polish in 64
7.5ml, Full sized, RM3.90
Oh, it's blue~
Ever heard of glow in the dark? Yes, we have it but as a nail polish??
I will paint my nails tomorrow night and watch how it glows.
Lovely Chocolate Spa Treatment Voucher
per pax RM99++ for 75 mins
Totally unexpected treat! Bag of Love, you are spoiling me with chocolate!! xD
Oh the unexpected twist!
Nanowhite Infinity CC Cream has a TWIN!!
It's identical twins even!
I'm actually a fan of Nanowhite and have been using their products since 2011. I bought this CC Cream around July but didn't use up much because I didn't want to repurchase just yet.
However, I have an identical twin now! Light Beige and Light Beige!
Thanks so much, Bag of Love!!
There's a monthly, quarterly and annually subscription!
Bye for now!

Friday Fun with ID Collection's Jim Williamson
It's Friday. Time for the musings of ID Collection's Jim Williamson. Last night a friend invited us to join them to see Anything Goes at the Winspear. You know I love theater because I mention it frequently. We always see a show or three every time we are in NYC. In fact, we saw Cat on a Hot Tin Roof just two weeks ago. Anyway, With barely enough time to pop an Altoid, I raced from work to meet my friends at the show. On the way there, I couldn't help but think, "I sure hope this show doesn't end up more like Everything Blows." I am here to tell you that it did indeed blow—blow my socks off, that is. It was a little slice of awesomeness—no luggage or airfare required. While we were probably some of the younger people in attendance (Please note: I did not type "youngest." I do have mirrors, people), great entertainment is ageless as are great music and lyrics. Rachel York was amazing. I think I might just have a crush on her. Everyone was perfectly cast. Dancing, singing, witty dialogue, and costumes from 1930s—it was like Downton Abbey season four: "The Crawleys Set Sail."
In the play, there is a joke with "Noel Coward" as the punch line. I can't remember the exact line—my green tea hasn't kicked in— but what I do remember is the woman next to me who tried to whisper to her husband "I'll bet he doesn't even know who Noel Coward is " while giving ME the side eye. At first I thought, "How rude! You don't even know me or the fact that I actually know who he is and pretty much every lyric to these Cole Porter songs. I may come from the state that produced Honey Boo Boo, but I am not Mama June." But I bit my tongue for fear she may spill over even further into my lap, leaving me unable to tap my feet along with the dancers.
On the topic of anything goes, take a look at this image featuring Designers Guild new collection, Seraphina. Upon first sight, you might think, "Does anything go, like, together?" But upon closer inspection you will notice that she pretty much nailed it. It has all the trending elements from the hottest new colors and everything from python to houndstooth. It also boasts the latest in digital printing, which makes it look as if it were hand-painted. And everything now is all about mixing patterns and colors in an unexpected way. So once again, we leave it to the queen of combos, Tricia Guild, to show us what is really going on and how to do it right.
So that about wraps up this little production. As always, I wish you the happiest of Fridays and a weekend full of anything goes. And as Noel Coward once said, "I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me."

June is National Homeownership Month and there will be thousands of closings around the country. Excited buyers and sellers will be meeting around the closing table exchanging stories, keys, photos and well wishes. That is – if they ever get to the closing table. I am a Realtor in the Metro Atlanta area and we use closing attorneys not title companies to settle our transactions. As I write this article, our processes may vary from yours in other parts of the country but please take the message to heart. There is a scam out there that is effecting all parties involved in the real estate transaction and in many cases, is preventing the closing from ever happening.
The essence of the scam is as follows – the hacker gains access to someone's email that is participating in the real estate transaction. On a personal note, I have had invitations to accept "offers", documents, closing statements, etc. from people that I know and trust. The only reason that I have not done so is because these offers or documents are completely out of the blue and totally unsolicited. When I look closely at the email address, it is usually off by a letter or two. In every case, my friend or associate has been hacked. Once the hacker gains access to the email account, he/she simply waits. At the 11th house, the hacker sends out wiring instructions to the buyer making it look like it is coming from a trusted adviser – the Realtor, loan officer or attorney. Because the buyer is involved in a transaction with these people, they open the email and follow the wiring instructions. Of course, the account receiving the wire is bogus and the money never makes it to the attorney for closing.
The way that our office is handling the problem is by making all buyers and sellers aware of the scam in writing and letting them know that wiring instructions will only come from the closing attorney. These instructions will never come in a last minute email and all instructions, particularly account numbers, should be verified directly with the attorney's office prior to wiring any funds.
Because I am connected with so many great professionals on social media, I would love to hear the various ways that you personally and your office collectively are addressing this scam. Anything that we can do as an industry to end this type of wrong is well worth the effort. Buyers save for years to purchase a home and should never fall victim to this type of predatory scam. I would love your feedback.

When I opened my first Rediffmail Enterprise account with no information of html, I was amazed at how simple and highly effective it was to let my all of the imagination do all of the work for me! Once your web site is edited and uploaded, it would be best to examine your webpages on as many cell devices, tablets, and laptop varieties as you have out there. This was not possible unless you moved your Google Site off of Google Apps fully and into the free Google Sites/Gmail world. Using WordPress is a reasonably straightforward way to get your on-line dating site begin rapidly.
That's why I recommend if you are going to bid on one thing big, like an iPad, ensure you're able to pay full price for it just in case. I actually suggest tumblr for inexperienced persons although, it's an awesome platform with actually friendly employees, they're reaslly good at fixing any problems and pointed me within the route of a commenting system since they did not have one natively.

Baldock uses this elaborately rudimentary technique to explore a contemporary kind of 'primitivism'. Looking at different cultures from all over the world, his figures are adorned with all manner of exotica - florets and bijoux, armour plates and masks - and speak of tribal rituals and tortures all the while proclaiming distinct Englishness. The overall effect is one of fiercely unnerving nobility: a quasi Jane Austen meets Wicker Man. Titled after a nagging lovelorn wife whose husband has strayed in Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, Baldock's Adriana, wearing her heart on her brow and with a tear spilling from her eye, becomes something of a coquettish monstrosity. Bejewelled with savage markings made regally chintz, she's made up to the nines with pleasing 'win-back' cosmetics, all begging dolly eyes, cuckold clown nose, and rouged gaping mouth firmly tied shut.
In their craftsmanship, Baldock's portraits are simply exquisite. Lost For Words resolves as a true English rose, with aristocrat nose and virginal complexion, literally made from powder. The figure is crowned with actual hair extensions, and the eyes are glass replicas taken from a life-sized doll. Baldock often combines 'real' elements with his floury base to give his characters a sense of uncanny veritas. Drawing from the fanciful frights of Victorian gothic romance novels, it's as if a fair maiden is mummified or bewitched, muzzled and frozen for all eternity. Baldock places the sculpture on a chipboard plinth; this both accentuates his humble making processes and gives the suggestion of sawdust or straw, setting his haunting characters in the realm of rural folklore and its anxious idyll of well-kept secrets.

This nostalgic view of pastoral life on an Iowa farm delivers the warm fuzzies without sentimentality.
Cal and Helen Earlywine have spent a lifetime working the land and raising a family, but tragedy has shadowed much of their lives. Twenty-six years ago, their son Tom was struck by lightning and killed while helping Cal plant a field. The tragedy complicated an already fraught relationship between Cal and his remaining son, Wayne, an artist who showed no interest in taking up the family's farming business. Now, with Cal's ailing hip threatening his mobility and his mood, Helen is having second thoughts about the once-jovial man she married. Enter Nancy Bannister, town booster extraordinaire. Her plans to build a revenue-generating corn maze on the parcel of land where Tom died could either be the poultice Cal needs to begin to finally come to terms with his son's death or an abomination that disgraces Tom's legacy. A picturesque yet sober look at a quickly retreating American archetype, Kasten's (Ten Small Beds, 2011, etc.) portrayal of rural life ably situates readers in Cal and Helen's world, often skillfully shifting between their perspectives to untwine a thorny issue. But the narrative often lacks the gravitas to really connect to readers. Throughout, Cal and Helen contend with a variety of obstacles—with varying degrees of success—that have the potential to derail their comfortable lives, but independent of the outcomes, the momentum remains as flat as the land the Earlywines have cultivated for generations. Still, there's plenty to like here. The bristly relationship between Cal and Wayne is well-articulated, the evolution of Nancy's corn maze from idea to reality is fun to watch, and Helen's struggle to come to terms with her beloved older sister's Alzheimer's is both illuminating and touching.
A pleasing retreat into American pastoral life.

Twelve months ago today, a child was born in the little town of Sydney, Australia. It did not happen in a manger, he definitely had a crib for a bed, and although a bright light was seen in the sky, it was probably just a passing satellite.
There were wise men in attendance, though, and wise women too – neonatal care is wonderful nowadays.
Now this child, whose name was certainly not called wonderful counsellor, everlasting father or prince of peace, and on whose shoulders the government will highly likely not rest (I'm quoting Isaiah via Handel's Messiah, for you heathens), is almost certainly not the Messiah. Then again, he's not a very naughty boy.
The parents of said child are friends of mine, and in their wisdom, or more likely in a state of brain-addled exhaustion, they decided to ask me to be his godfather. Secular godfather, to be precise, which is a clear contradiction in terms but increasingly common in these irreligious days. The clarification was probably wise, because I'm not sure I'd be much help with providing thorough religious instruction.
Traditional godparents are supposed to ensure that their godchildren are brought up in the godfaith, and give them godbibles at their godchristening and that sort of godstuff. But even outside the context of traditional Christianity, it remains a rather lovely, life-affirming concept. As I understand it, my job is to take an interest, offer advice, administer pats on the head when required and be available around the clock to post bail, should that be necessary. It makes me kind of an unofficial demi-uncle.
Today was his first birthday party, so I got to show up with a present, eat some cake and be suitably impressed by how well he's walking. Which is very well, I'll have you know. I'd put it down to my outstanding godparenting if there was any credible basis for claiming it.
What I like about the idea of being a godparent, though, is the idea of what's to come across the broad sweep of decades ahead. The prospect that when there are significant events in the life of the boy, or the man he'll become, I'll be there to offer a smile, or a kind word.
I imagine us sitting down to have a chat about which high school to go to, uni options, or whether he should marry his partner, or what he should call his firstborn child (Dominic, or Dominique, as applicable).
It's a genuinely lovely prospect to have a connection purely based on my friendship with his parents in the first instance, and the relationship that started when he was born. I certainly hope it's a lifelong one, and since I've known his father since the age of 11, the odds are fairly good.
Of course, criminals and godfathers have a long association, and although it wasn't specified, I'm willing to provide those kinds of godfather services if required in future as well. He's welcome to come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, if I ever have a daughter, and ask me to do murder for money, for instance. I almost certainly won't be able to help him, but he's welcome to ask.
He probably won't need much criminal mastermind-style help during his toddler years, at least, but if he needs me to organise, say, a hobby horse's head to be left in somebody's bed, then I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a theatrical propmaker who can make that happen.
Don Vito Corleone was all about peddling favours to get something in return – as he tells the hapless Bonasera "Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me." But true godfathership is a one-way street. You're repaying the kindnesses done unto you by the previous generation, and that's all.
I don't have any godparents myself, although I am extremely well furnished with fabulous aunts and uncles. And most friends who've had children haven't nominated any. But while in today's society, godparents are more of a nice-to-have than a must-have, they can certainly be useful. I have friends whose godparents have provided mentorship, emotional support, connections which have led to employment and even references in criminal matters on the odd occasion.
I'd be keen to nominate some for my own children someday, but I suspect whose of us who are not eager that our children follow us into organised religion might need to find a different name for the job. If there's no intention that we teach our godchildren about the role of god, then the term is fairly meaningless.
Perhaps it would be better to come up with a term like 'godlessfather', or 'nonfather', or 'sparefather'? And "father" is a little strange as well, now that I think about it, so the way "uncle" is used in an honorary fashion in Asia might be more apt.
Perhaps there's a term from the corporate world, like associate uncle, consulting uncle or uncle-at-large? Or maybe one from academia, like emeritus uncle?
It's too early to know what my role as a godfather, nonfather or emeritus uncle will involve over the course of my godson's life. At this stage, the main thing I have to offer him is this article full of vague good intentions and promises of assistance with pending criminal conspiracies that I hope any future court will assume is a joke.
But I would hope that in the years to come, if he needs anything from me, I'll be in a position to provide it. We all need support when we're making our way in the world, whether it's attendance at school concerts or a godfather who can use his political influence to protect our burgeoning drug trade. And that's what I hope to do for my godson, until I sleep with the fishes.

I am about 6 weeks out now. I am 147 pounds and need to be around 138 before I'm totally dried out. I have about 9 pounds to lose, about 2 pounds a week and so I'm really hunkering down to strip down.
I have been struggling lately with the amount of coaching I have been paying for and the amount of coaching I have been receiving. I can't help but feel like I have been an afterthought throughout this whole prep and am worried that I won't be fully prepared or prepped.
The thing that gets me is that there have been a lot of dollars involved and I feel like I haven't really gotten what I anticipated / need.
This does not do a lot for me in terms of trusting what is going to happen over the course of the next 6 weeks. Am I going to get to show day and not be ready? Will there be a show?
My cardio was increased from 2 hours a week to 6 hours last week, so I am now on the cardio train almost every day. I am riding my bike around the city, running, attending spin classes and doing the stairmill either in the mornings or after my lifting sessions.
My diet is at 1500 calories a day now (45 protein / 40 carb / 15 fat). I am taking vitamins and other supplements, along with creatine and will add in a recommended fat burner once it arrives in the mail.
Cravings are starting for food that I would never crave normally, only because I want to taste something. The foods I have been eating are bland, which I never minded before but now since there is no leeway for the off-diet food choices, I am wanting everything from hot dogs to Pop Tarts to Snickers bars.
Progress is being made, though. My trainer said that I was looking tighter when he saw me on Wednesday. I see it mostly in my upper body, but my abs are coming out and I can tell that in about 3 – 5 pounds they will be completely there.
Yesterday when I took a spin class I could see my abs in the mirror as I sweated my behind off. Good to know there is muscle underneath my skin.
In terms of mood, I am snappy like a turtle and tired. My energy is low and I'm trying my best to stay happy and positive.
The thought of having a cheeseburger with bacon and mushrooms and a cold draft beer at the end of this all is helping me get through.
I'm doing my best to keep pushing. My coach said to work on my core, my trainer said to work on my legs, I think I need to work on the whole damn package.
Today I have legs on the agenda along with sprints and steady state stairmill. I'll post my workout later today.
Where was everyone else at 6 weeks out? What does your coaching consist of? What are you getting for your buck?
3 responses
At six weeks out, I think that is too much cardio.
October 7, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Hello! Thanks for your comment. I'm now 3 weeks out – I have not been posting for various reasons which I will explain in today's post; however, I am now on 90 minutes a day… I will comment shortly!!!

Brain Evolution & New Genes on the Block
What made the human brain? According to Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, it was a giant obsidian monolith inspiring primates to use tools and weapons. Scientists have taken a more nuanced approach, looking for the biology behind the complex structures and enhanced function of the human brain. But merely comparing the genes expressed in adult human brains to those of other animals yielded few promising differences, leading scientists to focus on changes in the regulation of old genes rather than the arrival of new genes. After all, the construction of a structure as important as the brain cannot rely on unpredictable, novel genes with new functions, right?
However, those young genes are recently taking on a higher profile. In a 2010 paper, the University of Chicago laboratory of Manyuan Long demonstrated that new genes exclusive to a given species can be just as critical to an organism's survival as the old, conserved genes it shares with other species. The implication at the time was that what makes us uniquely human could lie in those "young" genes that only appeared in our genome relatively recently.
"Animal models have proven to be very useful and important for dissecting human disease," said Sidi Chen in 2010 about that study. "But if our intuition is correct, some important health information for humans will reside in the unique parts of the human genome."
A new study from Long's lab appearing yesterday in PLoS Biology identifies one important place where those new genes may play role: the human brain. By merging a database of gene age with gene transcription data from humans and mice, researchers looked for where young genes specific to each species were expressed.They found that a higher percentage of primate-specific young genes were expressed in the brain compared to mouse-specific young genes. Human-specific young genes also were more likely to be expressed in uniquely human brain structures, such as the neocortex and prefrontal cortex.
"Newer genes are found in newer parts of the human brain," said Yong Zhang, PhD, postdoctoral researcher and first author on the study. "We know the brain is the most remarkable difference between humans and other mammals and primates. These new genes are a candidate for future studies, as they are more likely to underlie this difference."
Another intriguing finding in the gene age data was inspired by Zhang's visit to the obstetrician with his pregnant wife. While viewing an ultrasound of his unborn child, Zhang said he realized that much of human development takes place during fetal stages – suggesting those early months should be a critical time for gene expression. As predicted, young human-specific genes in the brain were more likely to be turned on during fetal or infant development.The early activity of these genes suggests scientists should be looking at earlier developmental stages for genetic activity that ultimately shapes the complexity of the human brain.
"What's really surprising is that the evolutionary newest genes on the block act early," said co-author Patrick Landback, a graduate student in Long's laboratory. "The primate-specific genes act before birth, even when a human embryo doesn't look very different from a mouse embryo. But the actual differences are laid out early."
Importantly, the analysis does not pinpoint exactly which genes explain the appearance of the human brain. For now, it is only a correlation between the appearance of young human-specific genes and the evolutionary appearance of advanced brain structures. But the data does suggest that scientists looking for the origin of the human brain should look at the laregely-neglected newer genes instead of those conserved across species.
"Traditionally, people don't believe that a new protein or a new gene can play any role in an important process. Most people pay attention to only the regulation of genes," Long said. "But out of a total of about 1,300 new genes, only 13 percent were involved in new regulation. The rest, some 1,100 genes, are new genes that bring a whole new type of function."

What just a few years ago was a luxury gadget for the technology enthusiast is now an affordable must-have companion for the masses. There is one fundamental reason for the popularity of GPS devices. It helps drivers get to unfamiliar places in a hassle-free way.
There are now hundreds of GPS models of different sizes and features. To help you narrow your search, we have compiled a list of the Top 10 GPS .

Garmin's nuvi 1390T, picked by PCMag.com for the 2010 Editor's Choice Award, retains its top spot. It is also among the bestselling GPS helped in part by a massive 60% discount at Amazon. For a few dollars more you might want to consider the nuvi 1390LMT which adds Lifetime Map and Traffic updates.

ISLAMABAD: Medical experts strongly advised diabetic patients to take their medical condition into consideration, well in advance, before fasting.
"Many patients often opt for self-medication, based on their or others' personal experiences, while trying to maintain their sugar level. Doctors treating diabetic patients should encourage their patients to regularly visit and seek advice before fasting," said medical expert Hina Basit.
Speaking on what measures should be taken to make people aware of medical conditions, Hina Basit said that diabetes centres should hold comprehensive meetings a few months before Ramazan, and leaflets and booklets containing information and advice for fasting diabetic patients should be made available in the waiting areas of hospitals and clinics at least three months before the month.
She emphasized conducting special classes as well as efficiently using the media to propagate information through health programmes.
Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, who choose to fast, need to be given specific information on fasting and recommendations on therapeutic changes.
They need to be warned against skipping meals, taking medication irregularly, overeating during the night time or consuming sugary drinks, or fried food.

Tupac's ''Loyal to the Game'' debuts at No. 1
Tupac's ''Loyal to the Game'' debuts at No. 1: It's the third chart-topper for the rapper since his murder in 1996; Ashanti's latest is the only other new disc in the top 10
Once again, Tupac Shakur showed that death has not slowed down his career. This week, the rapper's Loyal to the Game, a collection of previously unreleased vocal tracks atop new beats by Eminem and other producers, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and sold 330,000 copies, according to SoundScan. It's his third posthumous chart-topper since his murder in 1996, and it ended the one-week reign of Red Light District, by the still very much alive rapper Ludacris. That album dropped out of the top 10 altogether, landing at No. 12.
Thanks to holiday shoppers, most artists in the top 10 saw sales increases this week, even if they lost chart positions. Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 17 climbed three rungs to No. 2 and sold another 323,000 copies. Eminem's Encore held at No. 3 and moved another 315,000 units. Shania Twain's Greatest Hits rose two spots to fourth place and sold 311,000 copies. U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb switched places with Now Vol. 17, but despite its three-slot slide, the band saw sales rise 7 percent to 297,000.
Besides Tupac, Ashanti was the only artist this week with a top 10 debut; her Concrete Rose entered the chart at No. 7 on sales of 245,000. Destiny's Child climbed one notch to No. 6 with Destiny Fulfilled. Toby Keith's Greatest Hits 2 held at No. 8. Usher's Confessions returned to the top 10, rising two places to No. 9 and pushing Jay-Z and Linkin Park's Collision Course down one spot to tenth place.

HDR, Karangahake Gorge, Ohinemuri River, Olympus OM-D, Paeroa, Photography, Rivers, Streams, Talisman Mine, Waitawehta Stream
One of my most favourite places to wander with my camera is also one that I find among the most challenging – where the Ohinemuri River flows through the Karangahake Gorge in the Kaimai Ranges between Paeroa and Tauranga. It is a fearsome gorge, cliff-lined with large boulders and at times spectacular floods, which frequently leave branches and other debris stranded high above the river to mark their passge.
Humans have also left their mark – it was the site of some extraordinarily strenuous gold mining endeavours, most notably associated with the Talisman Mine around the beginning of the last century, and the remains of these workings are well worth an explore. Then there's vestiges of the old railway through to Waihi and beyond, and the modern highway – a spectacular piece of engineering that encourages all the local lads to drive at crazy speeds, and which always seems to want to intrude a piece of human infrastructure into the most carefully crafted image.

Rhapsody Bets DRM-Free Downloads Can Foil iTunes
Page 1 of 1
|Sources: Apple/Rhapsody
In addition to its new "Music Without Limits" MP3 store, Rhapsody, a joint venture of RealNetworks (NASDAQ: RNWK) and Viacom (NYSE: VIA), also announced distribution partnerships with several companies including Yahoo, Verizon Wireless and Viacom's MTV Networks.
"Until now, legal digital music has suffered from severe limitations on where consumers could buy it and how they could use it," Rob Glaser, RealNetworks's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Music Without Limits fixes those problems and will make digital music easier and more valuable for consumers."
Rhapsody bills the service, which it will offer alongside its existing monthly streaming music subscription business, as a turning point in online music distribution. At the same time, the move comes as the latest in a series of challenges to Apple's (NASDAQ: APPL) iTunes in the form of music download stores selling files without digital rights management (DRM) software, which restricts copying or device compatibility.
Like Rhapsody, similar offerings from Amazon, Napster, Wal-Mart and a forthcoming store on MySpace all rely on the notion that offering DRM-free files compatible with Apple's market-leading iPod player will cut into the company's dominant share of the music download market.
The major record companies also have been eager to offer their DRM-free catalogs to these alternative providers in the hopes of wresting away some of Apple's control. Of the big four labels, only EMI has opened its catalog of music without copy restrictions to Apple.
But recent research suggests that the DRM issue might not be the wedge between Apple and digital music primacy that the industry hopes.
Earlier this year, a market analysis from the NPD Group found that iTunes had moved past Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) to become the nation's leading music retailer -- online or off, and the store just recently crossed the 5 billion mark for total sales.
Rhapsody is opening its download store with more than 5 million songs licensed from the catalogs of the four major labels -- EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Bros. -- as well as numerous independents.
The site also follows a pricing policy similar to iTunes: Most songs are available for $0.99, with full albums selling for $9.99. However, Rhapsody also offers discounts downloads for subscribers of its monthly service, selling tracks to them at $0.89 per song.
One of the signature features of Rhapsody's store is the ability to preview an entire song; other services commonly limit previews to 30 seconds. Rhapsody's non-subscription users are allowed only 25 of the 30-second previews per month, after which previews revert to the 30-second format. The restriction does not apply to Rhapsody's monthly subscribers.
To better its chances of unseating iTunes, Rhapsody said it plans to promote the new store with a $50 million marketing blitz, with ad running on broadcast television, print and online. Rhapsody is also promoting the service by giving away a free album download for the first 100,000 people who register at the store before July 4.
In addition to opening the download store, Rhapsody also took a number of steps toward becoming a distribution platform.
Through the partnership with Verizon Wireless, Rhapsody is making its catalog available for mobile downloads through Verizon's V CAST music service. As a result, subscribers paying $14.99 a month for V CAST's will be able to purchase music from Rhapsody's DRM-free shop. Each mobile download costs $1.99, which buys the consumer two copies -- one formatted to work on select mobile devices, and one for the PC.
Consumers will now also be able to access Rhapsody's catalog and purchase songs through Yahoo Music, and the music-discovery site iLike, which is one of the most popular music-sharing applications on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Bebo.
Rhapsody has also created its own Facebook application so members of the popular social network can import music from their Rhapsody collection and share it with their friends.
Rhapsody will also become the backend provider for streaming music on MTV Networks' online properties, including MTV.com, VH1.com and CMT.com.
Initial reaction from industry watchers viewed the moves with cautious optimism.
"Although we still see Apple's iTunes as the world's leading digital music service, we believe these actions will enable Rhapsody to gain ground," Standard and Poor's analyst Scott Kessler wrote in a research note.
