Catching up, Christmas & Chilling out!

Eeeek I have neglected my blog sooo badly over the last few months. This past few weeks I haven't even been keeping on top of reading all my favourite blogs either! It's crazy how easily you can fall out of the blogging loop and quite overwhelming too... I'm looking forward to see what everyone has been up to!

We stopped work on the 23rd and don't go back til the 4th so I still have a few days left off. Ant & I are our own bosses now and this week is our only proper time off (apart from bank holidays) so I have spent it doing absolutely nothing! We still have to do some work on our accounts and some other important bits for the shop, but I am holding it off for as long as possible!

So christmas was as uneventful as always for me, I missed big sis terribly and was super pleased we could get a little chat in on christmas morning. I got some lovely gifts from my nearest and dearest - my favourite has to a Mitford Sisters book from my aunt as it is something I have wanted to read for an absolute age and hadn't spoken about it to her or anyone come to that, she must have read my mind. Both myself & Ant got a copy of the Keith book, as did everyone else I know!  I also have a copy of the Bowie book I've been pining for on it's way (snow delayed!) from Ant, so that'll be a lovely treat to look forward too when it eventually turns up!

Mitford Girls Book, Kitschy Breakfast Set, Celia Birtwell Hot Bot, Gorgeous Fortnums Smelly Cushion thing, Owl Candle
Nails Inc Set ( I looooove Nails Inc - best varnishes I have ever used), Fashion Book (has a pic of a pair of 70s Quant shoes in that I have!), Weird Eyelash Enhancer Stuff from my friend who swears by it (I'll let you know if it works!)
Very fab Funk & Soul Cover Art book, Smellies galore, Keith (who didn't get this for christmas?)

I'm really looking forward to New Years as a dear friend of mine is holding a party and I'm planning to wear a champagne satin Biba number which has only had one outing before (at Snowy Stylista's wedding no less!). Random Geek Fact - the same dress is in an early (I think 1971) episode of The Liver Birds - it is worn by their posh friend Victoria who has come to visit from London, and for the life of me I can't find a clip of it online anywhere - I'll make sure I get a couple of snaps of it on Friday.

Treasured Possessions - David Bowie

My other half and I have been overdosing on David Bowie recently, which to be honest is pretty normal for me anyway, and I personally don't think you can ever listen to too much Bowie. Firstly I decided to get the great Labyrinth on DVD, which was just fab to watch, I don't think I've seen it in almost 20 years! The only disappointment for me was that the bit with the Fire Gang in where they throw their heads about, I always found this terrifying as a kid, now looking at it the graphics are pretty shocking by todays standards. The Henson puppets are amazing tho!

So whilst on my Bowie trip I'd thought I'd share one of my most prized possessions with you all. This is the programme from the infamous Ziggy Stardust Tour 1973. This obviously belonged to my Mum, who was lucky enough to see him in June 1973 in Chatham Central Hall. I'm pretty sure I have the ticket stubs somewhere too, and some 70's fan club items, I must try and find them!

Wish List - Winter Boots

I have been such a bad blogger lately, I just haven't been able to think of a single interesting thing to post about! I guess I have been a bit distracted as I have just given up smoking. I smoked at least 20 a day (!) and I haven't had one for almost 3 weeks. I'm very proud of myself! I've still got a way to go I know, but the patches are doing their job quite well at the moment.....

So I think it may be time to treat myself and if there is one thing that always gives me plenty of inspiration it's shoes of course, and in particular I need some new boots. If you have read any of my old shoe posts or if you know me, you will know I used to be devoted to 60's and 70's footwear but their age and dried out glue makes them very tricky for daily wear. I have found that finding shoes in that style is quite easy at the moment, there are still plenty of low heeled mary janes and also fantastic platforms too. But boots is a whole different matter. The sort I have been after really need to be 60's styled, I'm talking round or almond toe, and a 1-2" matchbox heel as I want them to wear to work and drive in. I have trawled all the usual shoe stores and all I see are 80s styles or very pointed toes and stilettos, and that just isn't me.

One brand I have admired for sometime is Chie Mihara, they do really lovely shoes and some stunning boots, unfortunately even when they go in the sale they are out of my price range, but just have a look at these suede lace up granny boots, they are just perfect, especially in purple.

My next stop was Yoox, upon browsing I found two brands which both carry some rather delish boots. First up is CAFe'NOIR, they are very reasonably priced and I love the moddy look to the black ones too, I just wish they were in leather. This is an italian brand I think, the rest of the range is not  very exciting. I really love the heels and toe shape on the brown pair. Luckily for me they are both only available in size UK4.

And finally we have L'Autre Chose. Just look at the perfect, perfect little heels on the pink/blue & green pairs, over the knee too, LOVE. Hello! grey suede platforms, thank goodness they only have size 2 left, or my credit card would have to be taken away from me! Aren't the snakeskin detailed ones just divine, I don't know which I prefer, probably the brown, I always buy brown clothes and footwear for some reason. Once again most of these are too pricey for me, if the first brown leather pair were in black they would be my perfect day boot.

I still haven't seen anything in black leather, oh dear.

RIP Reg King

I was terribly sad to hear of the passing of another 60s legend.
Former lead singer of mod icons The Action, Reg King died earlier this month aged 65.
You could do a lot worse than to have a listen to his 1971 self titled solo album which is one of my all time faves.

Dreamy Looks for Autumn

I think I may be the only person wishing for the cooler weather to come, even though I'm a summer baby, I have never liked hot weather. I'm much happier wrapped up in a coat and legs clad in tights & boots!
Here is a gorgeous ad for Wallis from Vogue 1973 (sorry can't remember the month!) Browns and earth tones are my absolute favourite colours to wear, which I guess means autumn is my favourite season. I just love the liberty deco prints and billowy sleeves and tight cuffs poking out of the jacket.

I really struggle to find the right skirts and trousers to suit my style. I don't wear jeans and do not do skinnies. I really love skinny flares but I am not the tallest gal in the world so these can be quite tricky to find and are usually a bit jean-like, and I cannot abide any type of trouser with pockets on the back, it really bugs me for some reason.  So, my fashion mission for now is to search out vintage crepe knee length skirts, oh yes and a 30s style cloche hat.

What are you looking forward to buying and wearing this season?

Ps - aren't the T bar shoes in the first pic delish?

Boutique London

Just found out about this book called Boutique London by Richard Lester, the description below is from Amazon

To any style conscious Londoner in the sixties just two places mattered: the King's Road and Carnaby Street. By the end of the decade the whole world came to see and be seen, to take part in the theatre that played out of the new boutiques and onto the street. From the sleek modernist tailoring of 'Top Gear' and 'His Clothes' to the nostalgic dressing up box style of the World's End boutiques, at the heart of it all were the young designers whose conviction to make and sell clothes on their own terms generated an explosion of talent which lasted and evolved over twenty years, leaving an indelible mark in fashion history. 'Boutique London' follows the journey of the first risk-takers like Mary Quant and John Stephen, to the celebrity salons of Ossie Clark, 'Mr Fish' and 'Granny Takes a Trip', stopping along the way to include the weird and the wonderful, the glamorous and the bizarre. With in-depth profiles of over thirty retailers and lavish illustrations, the clothes, interiors and characters of 'Boutique London' are as diverse as they are colourful, vividly bringing to life a vanished London, which changed the way we shop forever.

Find out more here: Boutique London

Looks pretty good no? No release date as yet, but it's going straight onto my wishlist.

songs for saturday pt1

Jackson Browne - Rock me on the water

My my Jackson Browne was a handsome fella, and still pretty dishy 30 odd years later. I bought a few of his albums after hearing These Days (sung by Nico on The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack), this song is one of my faves from the album Saturate Before Using (1972)

Tea for Two

This weekend I met up with my sister (snowystylista) for a cuppa and a chinwag in Rochester, for those who don't know her blog she is about to leave to start a new life in The Alps and her move date is getting ever closer, I can't believe it is less than 3 months away.

I snapped her "street style" as we met. First off we popped into a little deli/cafe to share a delicious cheese plate and I had a glass of yummy kentish apple juice. We were going to order dessert but it took soo long to get service we decided to wander down the high street and try somewhere else.

Next we went to Rochester Coffee Co. a place I have been wanting to try for ages, next time we are definitely going to have to try their signature afternoon tea! We opted for a slice of carrot cake each and I had a cup of the most delish Fortnum & Mason Afternoon tea, seriously I was in heaven! After lounging on their super comfy leather couches for probably longer than we should of we left to have a browse some shops before we went home, unfortunately my favourite antique store was closed by this time, last visit I scored a victorian bolero for £15!

We always go to the same card shop which has such a lovely selection of birthday and occasion cards, to stock up. Whilst there I spotted these fab vogue cards featuring early 70s fashions, and we had a giggle at the animal rockstar selection, ad I'm not ashamed to say that the Snoop Doggy Dog one had to come home with me, oh and of course I couldn't leave out the Aladdin Sane Guinea Pig could I!?

I had such a lovely afternoon, we both had a good old moan and she made me laugh with her press up man story (see her blog for more). I'm going to miss her ever so much!

(E - I hope you didn't get a parking ticket!)

Biba on Sky Arts

I was just flicking through tonight's TV listings when I spotted some vintage fashion shows tonight on Sky Arts 1. One is the 1970 film by the Centre of Information called The Pacemakers: Biba, the synopsis is as follows "The Central Office of Information goes behind the scenes with Biba founders Barbara Hulanicki and Stephen Fitz-Simon at their legendary superstore on Kensington High Street in 1970."

The airing times are:
Wednesday 11/8/10 at 22.40
Thursday 12/8/10 at 10.40

On further inspection of their website it seems that this Friday night (13/8) they are showing Beyond Biba, the recent film made about Barbara Hulanicki. Biba is my all time favourite label, I'm rather excited to see these shows. You gotta love Sky Arts they really do show some interesting and varied programmes, just the other night they played a Small Faces film, and quite often repeat the awesome 30th Century Man (about Scott Walker) and a rather good documentary called A Technicolour Dream about the legendary 14hr Technicolour Dream happening in 1967 at Ally Pally.

Anyhoo here's is the links to the Biba programme & film, oh yes and some obligatory Biba loveliness!

All pics are scanned from the fabulous "Fashion in the 60s" by Barbara Bernard.

Vintage Crush

I have been thinking a lot today about Fleetwood Mac, rather Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and more specifically Danny Kirwan, who along with Scott Walker (more on this to come soon!) is my current vintage crush. I'm such a sucker for a pair of baby blues poking out from under a floppy fringe. Danny is said to have been an emotional, quite neurotic young man at the time, and was so inspired when playing it would bring him to tears. Forget the weeping though, I do like a chap in a nice tight sweater! I wish I could have found some better pics...

Danny's story is though a rather sad one, after leaving the band in the early 70s  and releasing a couple of solo albums he sadly succumbed to the all to familiar downward spiral of alcoholism and has spent the last 30 odd years living in homeless shelters, he was last tracked down a few years ago to a specialist alcoholics clinic in South London.

Like Crying is my favourite song of his and it's been in my head all day, and pretty much sums up how I have been feeling today. I usually feel super depressed on my birthday but this year I was rather cheerful for this first time in years, I think actually the b'day blues have been delayed a week and they've really got to me today.
* Damn you pms, somebody pass me a bar of green & blacks....

So, who are everyone else's current crushes?

New Hair & Birthday Treats

Well first off I have to apologise for the lack of posts recently, my other half and I have recently bought the business we work at and things have been rather stressful for me lately! We are soo pleased to finally be working for ourselves, it has taken us many years to get there and it's finally done. It does mean we have a tough couple of years ahead of us, but we think it will be worth it!

I finally had my hair cut last week, and it couldn't have turned out better. I was dead nervous at the time but I love it and it takes me like 5 mins in the morning, which means I get an extra bit of sleep, which if you knew me you would know that's a good thing. Not a morning person, no no.

It's actually my birthday today and here are some of the lovely gifts I received. From my dear sis got me a Vogue from June '82 which is the year I was born, such a cool gift! Along with some Benefit lip tint, and from her recent travels the most divine smelling pure olive oil soap and a box of very yummy authentic Turkish Delights that come from the very shop in Istanbul where the turkish delight originates! My other half actually looked at my Amazon wishlist and got me the Fantastic Mr Fox (can't wait to watch this later tonight!) and Up The Junction DVD's.

Also the Bus Stop book, which has a pic of my Lee Bender dress in it (it's the velvet one, which I never knew came from a mail order range). As Miss Peelpants mentioned in her review of the book, it's quite an odd one and a shame that more original images weren't used, but there are some loverly pics in there indeed. It's a quiet night in for us tonight as I already had a birthday dinner on sunday with sis and her hubby, so I may crack open the turkish delights, just to test them mind! ; p

A great link: Bring out the tissues.

I am usually emotional watching adoption videos.

But I am certainly far more vulnerable to those emotions when looking at my sweet girl's face.

You'll know exactly what I am talking about when you link over to my friend Lauren's blog and check their video out!

P.S. I wonder who I could get to video us meeting Bedako for the first time? =)

Lauren said...

so glad you liked it!! Thanks so much for sharing -- I can't wait for you to have your own video! I say just grab the nearest person to you and hand them the video camera! :):)

Ashley said...

I don't know how anyone could watch that and not cry! I can't wait to watch your video, Ashley!

Erica said...

Watched last night and went to bed bawling like a baby. My eyes are sore this morning, thankyouverymuch... :) thanks for sharing!

We Have a Visitor.

We have a visitor in our classroom this week all the way from Maryland!
Her name is Stacey.
She is flat.
Flat Stacey is a project from a Brownie Troop in MD. She flew (via mail) all the way here to spend the week with us and learn what third grade is like in Kentucky! She has had a great time with us so far. She has been learning so much we have been journaling for her to tell her all about the things she has been doing. She even went to the Academic Team Meet yesterday and to Kindermusik with Mrs. Snyder's little boy!
We wanted to share some pictures of Flat Stacey enjoying her time in room 201.

She helped these two with their multiplication tests!

She helped these ladies write in their journals.

Stacey joined this reading group.

She practiced word work with playdough.

She read with these girls.

She posed with this guy.
He is proud to be the first one to pass ALL of his multiplaction tests.

At recess she played Conncet Four.

She enjoyed reading silently with this guy.

She posed with Mrs. Snyder.

She might have been our good luck charm!
We WON the match!!
She is with us again today.
We will see what kind of adventures she can get into!

Mrs. Snyder

Puppy Love

On Friday we fell in love.
We fell in love with a classroom visitor.
His name was DJ.
DJ was a fostered dog from the Scott County Humane Society. A representative from The Scott County Humane Society came to our class to thank us for all of the items we collected for needy animals over the holidays. As you know- instead of exchanging gifts, we collected items for animals. This was a class decision and it was a good one! Our class has a soft spot for animals after reading A Dog's Life- The Autobiography of a Stray. In this book, we read all about a dog who lived her whole life without an owner until the very end. We read about how hard life was for her and we decided we wanted to help make life easier for pets as they waited for a home. We did a great job and we brought in so much. We collected dog food, dog bones, leashes, cat food, toys, treats, blankets and so much more. The Humane Society was very grateful and I was very proud of all our hard work! Keep an eye out for us in the newspaper- we may be in there soon.  Until then check out some pictures from our visit.

To find out more about The Scott County Humane Society. Check out their website HERE.

Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend. I loved hearing that some of you took my advice and headed to Lexington to The Explorium! I took Clark and we had a WONDERFUL time. If you did not get a chance to go this weekend they are offering $2.00 admission (this is $5.00 off) on 1/17/11 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and we are out of school that day! This would be another great chance to go. For more information about The Explorium go HERE.

  • There is a homework packet this week. If we do have snow they are still responsible for the nightly assignments. Please make sure the packet comes back each day. Also check in the packet for a multiplication log. I am asking that you sign this each night as part of the math homework. I would love to know how you are studying your facts at home.
  • NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY 1/17/11.
  • We still are collecting BOX TOPS & SUNNY D labels.

Exclusive: Pro Futsal League looks to break into U.S. market

1 Comment

There’s been no hiding the growth of soccer in the United States over the past two decades-plus. Major League Soccer has developed into an impressive entity, continually growing and attracting some of the world’s greatest talents, including David Villa and Kaká.

[ MORE: MLS expansion looking at 28 teams, says Don Garber ]

In a similar path to success, futsal — a newer, quicker variation of soccer — is seeking its opportunity to crack the U.S. soccer market with the introduction of the Pro Futsal League.

For those that may not be familiar with the game, futsal is played with five players a side on an indoor surface typically about the size of a basketball court.

Professional Futsal League game between USA and Spain in at Dr. Pepper Stars Center in Frisco, Texas, Saturday, March 14, 2015. MIKE STONE

A few other noted differences between soccer and futsal include — unlimited on-the-fly substitutions (like in hockey), accumulated fouls penalty shot (which results after a team concedes six fouls in a half) and kick-ins (replacing a traditional throw-in).

I recently had the opportunity to discuss Pro Futsal League with some of the organization’s executives, including Michael Hitchcock (CEO), Keith Tozer (PFL Commissioner), Rob Andrews (President of International Affairs) and Christie Nelson (Executive Director).

The league has begun its development phases and will officially launch its exhibition season in 2017. PFL — which is set to be comprised of 16 teams in various large markets across the United States — will kick off its inaugural season in 2018.

The excitement surrounding the league is unquestioned and unique because of the entities that PFL is reportedly aligning itself with. Back in February, the Dallas Morning News cited sources saying that PFL will be working closely with renowned clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Boca Juniors and Corinthians, who will take on ownership stakes.

Here’s my full conversation with PFL’s executives:

Baseball has taken some heat over recent years about the speed of play in which the game is played. Futsal is a very fast-paced game, almost similar to basketball or hockey. What was it about the sport that intrigued you when starting PFL?

Christie Nelson, Executive Director: I was introduced to futsal almost two years ago in Milwaukee. At the time, Keith Tozer, who is now the Commissioner of the PFL and currently the U.S. Futsal National Team Coach, was hosting the France Futsal National Team in a friendly. Within minutes of the match, I fell in love with the high-octane sport. Coming from a basketball background, I was attracted to the 5-on-5 aspect and the quick pace of the game. My immediate thought was why haven’t I heard of futsal, and why is there not a professional league in North America? It is perfect for the American eye and combines the best components of hockey, basketball, and soccer.

As a sport that is still growing, how important do you feel it is to get youths involved in the game?

Christie Nelson, Executive Director: Involving children in the growth of futsal is imperative. The younger generation is the future of the sport. Children playing in youth leagues now have the opportunity to aspire to be professional futsal athletes and will also be a part of the fanbase attending matches.

Michael Hitchcock, CEO: Futsal is one way to reach into urban areas, and the PFL is committed to supporting the growth of the game in neighborhoods across North America.

Italy, but more so Spain and Brazil have been powerhouses on the international futsal stage. How does the United States reach the heights of success futsal nations such as those have experienced?

Rob Andrews, President of International Affairs: The PFL has been collecting and observing the best practices from every major futsal nation in preparation for the launch of the PFL. Building futsal in the the U.S. is crucial to members of the PFL, and we see the opportunity to reach the same heights and successes by having the best brands and premier players in the top markets in North America.

There has been discussions about the U.S. pursuing a bid to host the 2020 Futsal World Cup. We’ve seen a rise in American soccer its popularity since hosting the 1994 World Cup. How important is it for the U.S. to push for this opportunity in four years?

Michael Hitchcock, CEO: The MLS grew into what it is today with the support of U.S. Soccer over the past two decades. We are hoping to follow a similar path in the development of the PFL.

How many teams are confirmed for PFL’s launch in 2017? 2018?

Michael Hitchcock, CEO: The PFL will kick off the exhibition season in 2017 and begin the inaugural season in 2018. Sixteen teams are confirmed in NBA and NFL major markets.

What kind of allocation process does the league have or will it have in place to determine rosters moving forward? Will there be a salary cap?

Keith Tozer, PFL Commissioner: The PFL will have a draft similar to the NBA. Details regarding roster creation will be voted on by owners at the next owners meeting and will be released in the future. Players can submit a player registration form on our website to be entered into the PFL database to receive future updates and information:

What does it say about the league right off the bat that you’re partnering with teams like Barcelona and Boca Juniors, given their respective histories?

Rob Andrews, President of International Affairs: At this time we cannot comment on the brands we are working with. However, being able to start a league with such iconic global brands would be unprecedented.

We’ve seen other industries in the United States attempt variations of a sport before. Arena Football is something that has tried to compete with the NFL for several years now, but has certainly been put on the back-burner by fans. What challenges does your league face in trying to cultivate a solid fan base?

Rob Andrews, President of International Affairs: This is not an American invented sport. Futsal has an almost 100 year history, with multiple countries celebrating 25 years of professional league play.

Christie Nelson, Executive Director: Currently, North America is the only continent that does not support a professional futsal league; it couldn’t be a more perfect time to start one.

There’s been a lot of talk in the past about the disconnect between soccer and futsal. Do you feel the league has an obligation to kind of tie the two together in order to bring fans to pay attention to both?

Rob Andrews, President of International Affairs: It is no secret that some of the greatest players in the world credit futsal for their development. Many people don’t know, however, that Kobe Bryant also grew up playing 5-a-side in Italy and credits it for his development into one of the greatest in NBA history.

Keith Tozer, PFL Commissioner: Playing futsal naturally develops quicker decision making, better spacial awareness, and faster acceleration that will benefit any athlete who wants to excel in any sport. Our goal with the PFL is to offer the opportunity to those players who want to stay with futsal to do so at a professional level.

What were your takeaways from the exhibitions that the league had in 2015? Additionally, how important was it to have a player like Falcao involved?

Michael Hitchcock, CEO: Since the PFL International Challenge last March, the response has been huge both internationally and domestically. After breaking the North American record in attendance for a futsal match, we know there is a market for futsal here in the USA. We have come a long way since then and look forward to what the future holds.

Christie Nelson, Executive Director: The response to having Falcão last year was so great that he will be returning for the PFL’s largest event of 2016. Details are to come mid-April about the event.

Ligue 1: Alves secures late win for PSG; Depay does same for Lyon

PARIS (AP) — Memphis Depay scored in the last minute of a frantic match to give Lyon a 3-2 win at third-placed Marseille that keeps alive its chances of Champions League soccer next season.

In the fight for a Champions League playoff spot, fourth-placed Lyon closed the gap on Marseille to two points with eight games left. Monaco is seven points ahead of Marseille in second spot.

The match at Stade Velodrome ended with players pushing and shoving after the final whistle. Lyon defender Marcelo then mockingly brandished a Lyon jersey in front of Marseille’s players as they were walking off. It sparked a further melee which took more than a minute before security officials brought it under control. Several players from both sides tried to get at each other, rather than walking away when they had the chance.

It was the latest volatile incident in the French league.

On Thursday, several police officers were injured after clashes with Lyon fans before a Europa League game against CSKA Moscow.

This followed on from a mass pitch invasion by angry fans of struggling Lille on March 10, when about 200 fans charged onto the pitch to confront players after a home draw with Montpellier.

The acrimony continued Sunday.

As the players walked back through the tunnel to the dressing rooms, Marseille center back Adil Rami had to be held back as he launched himself at Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda also had to be pushed away moments later as he sought to back Rami up.

“When I see that it just makes me sad,” said Lyon defender Jeremy Morel, who formerly played for Marseille. “This isn’t even about football. I think we’ve really had enough of this, we don’t need it.”

Marseille winger Florian Thauvin saw it differently.

“Some Lyon players took the liberty of mocking us. It’s not professional on their part,” Thauvin said. “They lacked respect. (Marcelo) is a professional player, he should be leading by example. They shouldn’t behave like that.”

Greece striker Kostas Mitroglou’s looping header in the 84th minute appeared to have earned Marseille a point, after Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar put Lyon ahead 2-1 shortly after the break with a sweetly struck shot from winger Betrand Traore’s pass.

Mitroglou then almost went clean through from the halfway line in the 89th, only to be incorrectly called back for offside. It proved a key moment as Depay scored the winner one minute later.

Lopes took the free kick after the offside decision, striker Mariano Diaz headed the ball on just outside the edge of the penalty area and Depay read it well to nod it over the advancing Mandanda from just inside the area.

Rami’s own-goal late in the first half canceled out center back partner Jorge Rolando’s opener in the 31st.

“We defended really badly,” Mandanda said. “We just didn’t match them in the challenges.”

Dani Alves took Paris Saint-Germain a step closer to the French title, scoring his first league goal of the season with a late header as PSG won 2-1 at Nice.

The 34-year-old Brazil defender met midfielder Adrien Rabiot’s astute curling pass with a powerful header into the bottom right corner in the 82nd minute.

PSG is 17 points clear of defending champion Monaco and almost certain to win its fifth title in six seasons. PSG has seven games left and Monaco has eight.

Nice took the lead in the 17th minute. Mario Balotelli expertly chested down a high ball to the feet of strike partner Alassane Plea near the halfway line, and Plea’s pass sent Allan Saint-Maximin scampering though to finish coolly.

Four minutes later, Angel Di Maria took advantage of slack defending to equalize. It was his ninth goal in 25 league games and he needs one more to match his career-best tally.

The match started at 1 p.m. local time (1200 GMT) to capture a prime-time television audience in Asia. This follows on from the opening of a French league football office in Beijing last year.

“The Spanish and the English did this before. We train in the mornings, so it shouldn’t be a problem,” said Nice coach Lucien Favre, referring to the early kickoff. “I hope it was a good advert (for Ligue 1). It was a good game.”

Nice is in eighth place, three points above Saint-Etienne in ninth.

Bundesliga: Bayern finally lose; Batshuayi scores a stunner (video)

BERLIN (AP) Runaway Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich lost 2-1 at Leipzig on Sunday in a rare stumble ahead of the international break.

Sandro Wagner headed the visitors into an early lead but Naby Keita equalized before the break and Timo Werner claimed the winner 10 minutes after it.

“We didn’t play like we have in the last weeks,” Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes said. “Leipzig is the deserved winner. You get such games.”

It was Bayern’s third defeat in 27 German league games and Leipzig’s first-ever win over the Bavarian powerhouse after three losses in the Bundesliga and a defeat on penalties in the German Cup last October.

Bayern leads Schalke by 17 points with seven games remaining. It can wrap up its record-extending sixth consecutive title with a win at home over third-place Borussia Dortmund on March 31 – if Schalke drops points to Freiburg on the same day.

Schalke and Dortmund had already postponed the celebrations by winning their 27th-round games, but Wagner got Bayern fans cheering when he scored in the 12th minute.

Wagner, selected to give Robert Lewandowski a rest, was one of several Bayern players waiting to head James Rodriguez’ brilliant cross inside the far post.

But Bayern failed to cope with Leipzig’s pressing game and Keita deservedly equalized on a rebound after Werner’s effort was blocked.

Keita then sent Werner through to score his first goal since Jan. 20 and end Leipzig’s four-game winless run.

Heynckes, who had called up Bayern under-19 midfielder Meritan Shabani to the senior squad for the first time, sent Lewandowski on for the last 20 minutes but the Poland striker was unable to add to his league-leading tally.

Cologne, which made the worst-ever league start by any team, rekindled its slim hopes of survival by beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the Rhine derby to leave the bottom of the table for the first time since the third round.

“The corpse is still alive,” said Leonardo Bittencourt, who was impressive for Cologne.

Yuya Osako fired the home side into an early lead after good work from Bittencourt, and Simon Zoller sealed the win with 20 minutes remaining when he lifted the ball over the outrushing goalkeeper.

Leverkusen’s hopes of claiming an equalizer were damaged after a half-hour when Lucas Alario swung his elbow back into Dominic Maroh in an off-the-ball incident, leaving the Cologne defender on the ground clutching his neck. Referee Harm Osmers sent the Argentine off after consulting video replays.

Cologne moved two points above Hamburger SV and five points behind Mainz in the relegation playoff place with seven games remaining. Relegation rivals Hamburg, Mainz, Wolfsburg and Freiburg all lost in the 27th round.

Leverkusen dropped to fifth, one point behind Eintracht Frankfurt in the last Champions League qualification place.

Michy Batshuayi‘s brilliant first-half strike was enough for Borussia Dortmund to beat visiting Hannover 1-0 and consolidate third place in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

The home side enjoyed the better start as it looked to make a statement following its disappointing Europa League exit to Salzburg on Thursday.

Batshuayi scored in the 24th minute, running toward Andre Schuerrle’s corner and flicking it on the volley with his heel to send the ball inside the far post.

Dortmund stayed a point behind Schalke with seven games remaining, while Hannover dropped to 13th after its fourth consecutive loss.

Serie A: Napoli make good on Juve’s slip-up, now just 2 back

Napoli 1-0 Genoa

Juventus slipped up in a big, big way on Saturday, stumbling to a scoreless draw away to tiny SPAL 2013, and opening the door ever so slightly for Napoli. With a win on Sunday, secured by Raul Albiol’s late winner, Napoli now trail Juve by just two points with the two sides level on games played (29) once again.

The victory snapped a two-game winless skid for Napoli, a run which saw them cough up the top spot which they had held for nearly the entire season, and set up perhaps a colossal title decider on April 22, when first hosts second in their quest to claim a seventh straight Serie A title.

Crotone 0-2 Roma

One spot and 14 points further down the table, you’ll find an interesting battle for third, with Roma picking up their third straight win, 2-0 over 18th-place Crotone on Sunday.

Stephan El Shaarawy (38th minute) and Radja Nainggolan (74th) bagged the goals for Roma, who lead Inter Milan by four points with nine games to go (Inter have a game in hand).

Sampdoria 0-5 Inter Milan

No one was more impressive this weekend than Inter, who put four past Sampdoria in the first half, including a hat trick from Mauro Icardi, who would then go on to add his fourth — Inter’s fifth — in the second half. That’s 22 league goals for the Argentine forward, who now trails Lazio’s Ciro Immobile by two in the Golden Boot race.

A roundup of all of Sunday’s action in Spain’s top flight…

[ MORE: Man United vs. Spurs in FA Cup semis; Chelsea-Southampton]

Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Bilbao

Updated numbers for Barcelona’s current unbeaten run in La Liga: 29 games this season; 36 dating back to last season. The quest for the unbeaten league season is now just nine games from reality.

Perhaps even more impressive than the W-D-L record is their defensive record: 13 goals conceded in 29 games (they’ve also scored 74 and have a +61 goal differential).

Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Bilbao saw Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Co., go 11 points clear in the title race and all but secure their third title in four seasons, thanks to results elsewhere (see below).

Paco Alcacer opened the scoring after just eight minutes, and Messi made it 2-0 right on the half-hour mark (his league-leading 25th goal of the season; 34 in all competitions).

Real Madrid 6-3 Girona

Cristiano Ronaldo bagged four goals of his own to bring his season total to 22 (32 in all competitions), now second ahead of Suarez and three behind Messi for the Golden Boot, and in the process push Real Madrid (60 points) to within four points of Atletico Madrid in the race for second.

Ronaldo scored goals no. 1, 2, 4 and 6 for Madrid, with tallies from Lucas Vazquez and Gareth Bale sprinkled in between.

Villarreal 2-1 Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid were the last side within touching distance of Barca — “just” eight points back coming into the weekend — but that’s no longer the case following a late collapse and a 2-1 defeat away to fourth-place Valencia.

Antoine Griezmann put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 20th minute, but Enes Unal bagged an equalizer in the 82nd and the game-winner in the 91st. Atleti finished the game with 10 men after Vitolo was sent off in the 92nd minute.

Real host Atleti in the Madrid derby on April 8, a game which will go a long way towards crowning this season’s runners-up.

Social media "The New Marketing Tool"

Social media has become the new medium by which businesses are promoting their products. The spin on this new marketing approach for businesses is an “interactive” approach. It has become evident that social media is a direct communication between businesses and their consumers. Businesses have far more control over their image through these internet communication tools. They can address customers’ concerns and questions. Social medium also allows organizations know how people are reacting to their product, and advertising efforts faster than ever. If a person has complaints about a particular brand of product you will sure here about it on a site like Twitter.

Seven "Things" About Me - not sure how unique

OK wakeupandsmellthecoffee you asked for it, here goes.... please everyone be polite, no yawning.

1. Never lived in anyone place for very long, my dad was in the RAF and so from a young age my family was moving around, first around the UK and then we spent three years in Germany. Even when we returned to the UK the longest I stayed in any one spot was from the age of 9 to 19 years. Been moving around ever since, and have lived in Israel, United States (CA, GA, WA), Canada (QC, ON), Germany and now back to Canada.

2. Married at 19 to the boy I met when I was 15 and still contentedly married almost 31 years later. That’s fairly unique these days right?

3. Never had an allergy or allergic reaction of any kind. I know, I have jinxed myself now. I am not going to mention my rude good health because you know where that will lead!

4. Never even had a cigarette of any variety (apart from the candy kind – remember those) in my mouth. It never appealed to me in the slightest. Never taken an illegal drug either. I told you I was boring.

5. People say moving house is one of the most stressful things in life, but I love it, I love house hunting and I love re-inventing myself when I get to the next place, OK the bit that involves a lot of boxes and moving the fridge and washer, quite often on my own because GWE is usually on to the next spot ahead of me, I am not so keen on.

6. God this is tough!! I don’t have any tattoos whatsoever, and my only piercings are visible – yes boringly its my ears.

7. I dislike reality shows, Canadian (or whatever) Idol, Strictly Come Dancing (or what it is called), The Apprentice, Big Brother can’t watch them, now if is about real estate, houses, moving to a new country or decorating, you can’t peel me off the couch, much to the dismay of my family.

See I sound soooo boring but honestly I am a fun, bubbly person (Oooh I just thought of one, I hardly ever have a bad mood) now I have definitely jinxed, if not myself, then my loved ones!!! Please keep reading – I will try to keep it interesting.

Swearing Mother said...

You do NOT sound boring! If you ever read one of my Memes, THAT's boring!!

wakeupandsmellthecoffee said...

Neither one of you is boring. One thing I learned from my journalism days is that everyone has a life and a story to tell. I used to move a lot too but have stayed in one area for the longest ever in my life: 16 years.

aims said...

I wish I could say the same about alot of the things you have mentioned.

I have envied those whose lives have run on an even keel....

You did a good job - and I didn't yawn.

softinthehead said...

You are all too kind.

Breezy said...

I know what you mean about sticking with the same fella everyone we meet assumes we are on the second time around.

Post No.4

Sai Ram All
May Lord Sai always reside in your hearts and be your guiding light forever more.

This post is basically about what happened for me on Maha Shivaratri morning (10th March) in Puttaparthi.

For some who do not know anything about Maha Shivaratri.
Here's some info:

The festival of Maha Shivarathri is one of the most important festivals in India. It falls on the 14th day of the (Krishna Paksha) dark fortnight of the Magha month of the Hindu calendar. The very word ‘Shivarathri’ means auspicious night. All over the country, people throng Shiva temples and spend the night in worship and contemplation of the Divine. According to Hindu belief, the moon is the presiding deity of the mind and the 16 phases of the moon represent the 16 aspects of the mind. On Shivarathri, which falls a day prior to the new moon, only a streak of the moon is visible. This is symbolic of the waning influence of the mind, when 15 aspects have already merged in the Self and only one aspect remains. Hence on this day, it is easier to control the mind and direct it towards God.
 Therefore, the night is spent in contemplation and adoration of God, so that the vagaries of the mind can be totally subdued and transcended to attain realization of the Atman.

Maha Shivarathri is generally celebrated by performing Akhanda Bhajana (continuous devotional singing) throughout the night. Shivarathri, as a festival has gained a lot of importance in Prasanthi Nilayam because it is during this festival that Baba, the supreme Iswara (Godhead), chooses to reveal His divinity. Baba, out of His infinite love for humanity, materializes lingas (an oval shaped object which is the fittest symbol of divinity) in the Shivarathri evening from within His being. This emergence of the Linga is called ‘Lingodbhavam’.

Baba has explained, “The Linga is just a symbol, a sign, an illustration, of the beginningless, the endless, the limitless - for it has no limbs, no face, no feet, no front or back, no beginning or end. Its shape is like the picture one imagines the Niraakaara (Formless) to be. In fact, linga means - leeyathe (that in which all forms and names merge) and gamyathe (that towards which all names and forms are proceeding, to attain fulfillment). It is the fittest symbol of the All-pervasive, the All-knowing, the All-powerful”.

“Today we are celebrating Shivarathri. ‘Shivarathri’ means "Auspicious night". At least on this day, one should chant Shiva's name all through the night. At least on one day in a year, chant the Lord's name. This night, devotees are expected to stay awake by chanting the sacred name of Shiva. Keeping awake in any other way is purposeless. Spending the night reciting the Lord's name sanctifies one's life”.
- Divine Discourse: February 25, 1998

“The lesson of Shivarathri is that devotees should foster good and sacred thoughts. They should be filled with godly thoughts. They should seek to become one with the Divine by reflecting on their inherent divinity. If you constantly chant the name of God, God realization will come in due course.
Whatever other things they may possess, men suffer from lack of peace and bliss. These two can be obtained only from God. It is for these two that men should pray to God and not for anything else, because God alone can give them. When these are secured, all other things will come of their own accord by the grace of God. People should yearn for God. All other desires are worthless”.
- Divine Discourse: February 26, 1998

 Hope this info has given you some insight about this most auspicious of occasions, especially when its celebrated in Prasanthi itself.
Even though Swami is not around in His physical body.
 He is and will always be Sai Easwara (The Formless Aspect of God)

I will start, I guess, when I awoke that day.
It was around 5am, I think, as I heard bhajan (Devotional Singing) in the distance.
Shiva bhajans! Wonderfull!!!
It was still dark, and quite warm, even at that time of the morning.
It was always hot during the day and warm in the evenings.
Summer was fast approaching!
It took about 30 minutes upon waking, that I realized the singing was coming from the Shivalayam Temple (Swami's Birthplace).
So I quickly grabbed the camera and headed off over there.
I had just caught the last of it, as they were coming down the road from the Temple.
I wished I hadn't taken so long to get out the door or had woken up earlier.
A missed opportunity... to film it all!!!
Not mean't to be, I guess!

Swami made His appearance soon after I turned the camera on, in a most unexpected way, as you will see in the video below.

 I entered the Shivalayam Temple area and filmed abit here and there.

I was thinking that the priest will do a pooja to Lord Shiva, as He was not adorned.
First time, I have seen Him like that. No kumkum, garlands etc.
I was told the puja will not happen till later in the morning.

It was starting to get light now.

 I wanted to film the Sunrise over the distant hills, so I left the Temple and headed back to the hotel.
I proceeded to the rooftop just in time, as the sun arose above some buildings in the distance.
Here's a video of that Sunrise with the many sounds recorded in the streets below.
Quite a hive of activity happening even at that time of the morning!

Wasn't sure how this day would pan out!
Initially planning to go for morning darshan in Prasanthi, I met some of the group after breakfast and they had asked me, if I wanted to go to the Durga Temple with them, as there was a Shiva Linga pooja to be performed there at around 10am in the morning.
I had also wanted to film the Shiva Abhishekams at the Shivalayam Temple.
 Couldn't go to all three, could I?
 So I had to make a choice!
As I had never visited the Durga Temple, I decided to go with them, thinking it will be about a hour in duration.
In fact it went for almost 3 hours!
As a Yagnam was also conducted.

Durga Mata Mandir on the banks of the Chitravathi River, Puttaparthi
(10th March 2013)

Durga Ma

Shiva Linga Abhishekam

The five faces representing the following forms of Shiva;
1). East: Tatpurusha
2). West: Sadyojata
3). North: Vamadeva
4). South: Aghora
5). Top: Ishana
 The four faces of Shiva represent the four directions.
 The fifth face which points skywards is the universal face symbolic of purity and spiritual progress.

Offerings of milk, fruit, honey, Bilva Leafs etc

Here's a video of excerpts of this sacred puja and yagna.
I thought, who is going to watch the whole 3 hours I had recorded of this... online!
So, I shortened it.

By the time we all got back to the hotel, it was around 1pm.
 I was starting to panic again, that I might have left it too late to line up for the start of the Maha Shivaratri Celebrations,
 which I was told begins with the
 Sayeeswara Lingam Puja & Abhishekams around 4pm.

So I walked to Prasanthi very quickly.
There was a line already there, but not too long. So I placed my mat, as you do, to reserve my spot.
 Then went to the North Indian Canteen, for lunch.
Eventually going back to Sai Kulwant Hall to wait in the line, with great anticipation!!!

I will let you know what transpired for me in the evening of Maha Shivaratri in the next post.

D. It is written

I forget that everything in life is written and no matter how much you want to change it,it was already written.

why don't you ever believe me?

Thursday, January 29, 2009

good times,not in THAT sense.

But it kinda takes away the risque factor,even in a mall.
Although we did kinda run away from prying eyes,we didn't really care.
No adreneline,no rush.
NO redening of cheeks.
Almost seems like all our innocence has been drained,like we know so much more.

Because we did it so young.

see my preeeeetttyyyyy AKIKO

OMG there was a super cute picture of my AKIKO but it got deleted grr.
so seperate post,yeah Akiko?

In tuition which was supposed to end at 11.30 my eyes kept darting back and fourth towards to clock and Ulin's eyes.
WHEN I FINALLY GOT RELEASED I ran upstairs so fast and Akiko said that Kamal was coming in 10 minutes and I wasn't even close to ready.
I woke up at 8 but slept at 2.30 thanks to SOPH.
So my hair was frantic and Ulin kept screaming at me to wear some accessories.
I didn't in the end must to her annoyance (:O

Downstairs looking for a proper pair of flats for Soph to lend cos she breaks all her shoes!,my maid asked who was picking me up.
So I said Kamal and my brother from the table shot upright and said "WHAT!" much to everyones amusement.

Uh yeah my brother is kinda protective eventhough he's only 12+
We were in KLCC yesterday and he shot an angry,going-to-bite-your-head off look at some guys passing by.
Yeah but I 've seen that face.
What was supposed to appear somewhat threathening appeared like he had a bad migraine and slightly constipated.

"Because I don't like boys looking at my che che,"

aww baby.

So after shooting me an angry glare I blew him a kiss and ran to Kamals car.
Kamal's siter is so pretty and his momma likes Taylor Swift and something funny happened,heh!
I didn't know what to wear so I threw on Kak Trinas army navy blue jacket.

But heres the catch.
It was for 7-8 year olds so I turned that once oversived GAP jacket into a bolero.
For once,I ACTUALLY felt fashion forward!

Lunch at Marches and movie at Cineleisure.
First thing I did in Marches was run to Akiko like I haven't seen her in 10 years which is the total opposite since I only saw her 6 days ago,but we've,well ME AT LEAST,have missed out on each others lives for about 7 months,it was good to be okay again.

Wasn't hungry so had a salad with Akiko and ate a bite of her pasta.
Was really good to see Gau Wei again.
He is truly such a strong person,I will admit I don't think I could ever be as strong.

gauwei note that I love you

Shaz this is priceless!

so we took group snaps cos Soph had to go and it was supposed to stop at there.
But who doesn't like new photographs so everyone got a lil' rowdy with the cam.

Akiko and Gau Wei

I would like to clear out I did not somehow shrink nor did Nick grow abnomally taller.
I had to bend.

Sof it's been ages.
We must have the BATAI ANGELS reunion

Sofs photo-phobia boyfriend refused all photo takes so I slyly got one out back.

Gau Wei,who promised to come back after his O-LEVELS.

Jo,who is complete opposite of bossy,being cute

I am not sure what we were doing but after taking off his braces Derrick likes to smile W-I-D-E.
I think we're the next spokespeople for Colgate or ORAL B or that CREST white!

"Gunakanlah COLGATE,"

Girls are lucky at Foosball no shit.
The boys kept winning everytime we joined them playing.

Watched InkHeart.
agree or die andddddddd Jo likes whatshisface.

Inkheart is kinda like Bedtime Stories plus adventure turned up a notch we wanted to watch a scary movie,REC but were 15 minutes late and the lines were crazy.
Derrick kept complaining,these people don't need to work ah!

take leave la derrick.

Whilst waiting for the movie to start,Ariff,Marcus and I linked hands and walked around like the jews that we are.They were both wearing IDENTICAL SHIRTS and I was sandwiched in the middle of them.They told me that there were actually people taking photos of them.
woah instant celebrity status,me likey.

I couldn't find Akiko,but she said I ffk-ed her whatever that means hehe,so I sat in the middle of the two boys.
Ariff who kept throwing pop corn into my shirt!! and Marcus saying that Maggie was pretty.

Sexy Lexy Liew

So, we're going through the movie, looking for shots for our first trailer-- and we notice that approximately three minutes from the middle of Sequence E are missing.

As near as we can figure, what happened was this: we had two different layers of video. Video-1 contained most of the shots, while Video-2 contained reaction shots. That second track must have been "locked"-- meaning that it could not be changed while other parts were being edited-- when we were shifting the scene one way or the other. So layer one moved and layer two stayed the same; we then must have noticed it and unlocked the track, shifting it back over to where it should have been. In doing so, we then must have accidentally selected the first track as well, which means that that first track then overwrote the shots earlier on that same track.

At least, that's what we've been able to piece together. We're not sure when it happened, and it doesn't sound like the kind of sloppiness we would usually be guilty of.

Either way, we've got to re-edit a complicated portion of a complicated scene-- something we're not particularly happy about. But we'll do it. (We knew things had been going too smoothly.)

We'll probably have those three minutes back in place sometime this week; we should have the first trailer up and ready for mass consumption around that time as well.

Bishop Charles H. Doom, Jr. Bio

Bishop Charles H. Doom, Jr.bishop seal

Bishop Charles H. Doom, Jr., began his education in the DC Public School System, graduating from Coolidge High School. He graduated from the Washington Baptist Seminary and the Richmond Virginia Seminary. He has continued his education at the Capitol Bible Seminary and Maple Springs Bible College.

He proudly served in the US Army receiving an honorable discharge. He was formerly employed by the US Postal Service, resigning to become full-time pastor of Southern. He married the former Eleanor Goodwine on August 5, 1972. She is an awesome woman of God in her own right who serves beside him faithfully. They are the proud parents of one lovely daughter, Desiree. Bishop Doom takes very seriously the responsibility that has been placed upon us to make every effort to see that we model our family relationships after the example of
how God relates to us.

He accepted the call to the gospel ministry and was ordained in November, 1972 by the New Samaritan Baptist Church under the leadership of the Late Rev. Robert Harrison. The Lord called him to the Pastorate of Southern Baptist Church on November 22, 1976. Bishop Doom is a very compassionate, steadfast, inspirational leader. Southern Baptist Church has grown tremendously under his most capable leadership.

He formerly served in the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship where Bishop Paul S. Morton is the Presiding Bishop. He served on the District of Columbia state level as Northwest District Overseer and State Director of Pastors under the direct leadership of Bishop Michael V. Kelsey. He faithfully served the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship for 17 years.

On Sunday, January 17, 2010, God moved on the heart of Bishop Glen A. Staples, Presiding Prelate of the Temple of Praise Fellowship of Churches to recognize that he possesses and lives all of the qualifications according to 1 Timothy 3 to be consecrated to the Office of Bishop. Subsequently, on May 15, 2010, he was properly set apart and consecrated to the Office of Bishop by the Temple of Praise Fellowship of Churches.

Bishop Doom’s interests are not limited to the church but extends to the community and city as a whole. He is involved in the neighborhood civic association and a member of the Board of Directors of the Northwest #1 Community Committee (serves the church neighborhood). He is a member of the Church Association for Community Services (a group of city-wide interdenominational ministers).

His favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11 - “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

"The Wonders"

I was interested this morning listening to a well known pastor talk about the meaning of Christmas and the simpleness of the original and the extravagance we've begun to accept and almost had to laugh. Not because he is not right on with his idea--it is just that because 'he' is saying it somehow it is great big news...Oh and he has a book to help us of course.

Ok Ok I hear you say that I wish I had written that book. Well, in a way all of us have. We have all contemplated how to simplify Christmas. This year it will be just me and John here in Oklahoma for Christmas. We have promised each other that we won't buy gifts for each other. We will instead take what money we would have used and send it to the Children's Home in India.

Two Christmas' ago we were in India on Christmas with the kids. They got a bag. In the bag, (small lunch sac) was a pencil, candy, and a few other small items. Each one had their name called. That was about 70 at the time. And they came up to the oddly thin Santa and got their bag and ran back to their seat with their eyes smiling.

We who had come from the USA marked Christmas with them, first the service, then the special meal and then later the Christmas play. The youngest in our group who was about 11 I think said at the end of the day. I didn't open One gift...this was the BEST Christmas ever!

So, friends, it doesn't take much to find a way to give Christmas it's meaning... Make a list of the wonders in your life. Keep them before you. Add to them. Rejoice in them.

Because we know the story. Good luck..
It is all about 'the wonders of God".

God abides

It has been nearly fifty years since the first human entered space, and it remains the province of an elite few. Contrast this with the airplane, which fifty years after it's birth, where aircraft were exceedingly common. Those of us who grew up during the Apollo era were certain that we'd be going into space before the dawn of the 21st Century. Obviously, that hasn't happened. With the planet rapidly becoming choked with pollution (and we can only expect this to get worse as the developing nations industrialize)it should be obvious to all that it it is past time for humanity to begin moving off this planet en masse.

It is time to change this. The efforts of groups like The X-Prize Foundation, The Planetary Society, The Mars Society, and others, simply aren't good enough. It is time for every spaceflight fanatic and science fiction fan to get angry. For far too long, we've sat back and waited for NASA and others to deliver on the dream of space travel, it is now time that we demand more support for spaceflight, not only from our elected officials, but from corporations as well. All of them have benefitted from advancements made possible by the space program. We must make them realize that investing in space is investing in their future.

Blessed Jordan of Saxony, Confessor, Order of Preachers

Ecclesiasticus 31:8-11 / Luke 12:35-40

It can be a tiring and wearisome thing to be always on watch. There is a reason, after all, that armed guards of palaces and city halls, museums and supermarkets, maintain something of a grim air of resignation. Apart from warning off a potential evildoer, those on watch just cannot afford to be affable. Keeping an eye out for what is coming, for any sign however small that something deserves our attention, seems to us generally incompatible with mirth. For us, to be enjoying ourselves generally means also not having to keep watch, not needing to mind our P's and Q's.

This is why, at first glance, one might see why enemies of the faith have accused Christianity as being the foe of joy. After all, Jesus himself describes, or rather commands, Christian discipleship to resemble and unending watch: Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning in your hands and you yourselves like men waiting for their master's return from the wedding. Indeed, it is a watch we are advised may take longer than we think, and for that very reason, we can never allow our attentiveness to slacken. The bridegroom may well come not right away, but perhaps even in the second watch, or possibly even the third watch of the night, when we wonder whether the sun will dawn on a new day without his return, and without a moment's rest on our part.

How very different, then, such watchfulness appears in those whom God loves, how very far from grim resignation and anxious fatigue. In this, we have no better witness than Blessed Jordan of Saxony, successor to St Dominic as Master of the Order of Preachers, and one of the most tireless promoters of the Order's membership and mission in its earliest days. It is true, of course, that Jordan kept special vigils of prayer over and above his obligations to the Divine Office. Indeed, he is said to have prayed on his knees, upright with his hands clasped, for over two hours (the time it would take to walk eight miles, it was said), once after Compline and again after Matins, crying bitter tears all the while.

Yet, it was this same man blessed by God who was noted, not for a maudlin temperament, but for his gentleness and joy. It is said that, while on his many travels, when not in holy conversation with his fellow friars, Jordan would walk ahead of them a stone's throw, singing all the while one of his favorite tunes, the Salve Regina or the Jesu nostra redemptio. So filled with joy was he in these tuneful meditations, that he would wander off, and his brothers would have to go searching to find where he had finally gone. Needless to say, Jordan and his fellow travellers would not infrequently get lost, but rather than lose his patience, or seek to blame another, Jordan is reported to have said, especially to those who were upset or worried by the delay: Never mind, brothers, it is all part of the way to heaven.

What Jordan reminds us is that watchfulness for God is not just like the watchfulness of a security guard minding the door to a bank vault. Ours is not the task of keeping someone out, but of being ready to let someone in. To do that, we need not so much to have the house put in order and put on hold, as one might worry over what to do with the entrée when the guest of honor is late for a dinner party. Rather, our task is to become the kind of people who will find the coming of the bridegroom a reason for unmitigated joy. To be watchful for God, in other words, means to be just the sort of person who weeps over his own sins and the sins of the world, who weeps with gladsome anticipation for the return of our beloved bridegroom Jesus Christ, and who sings with happy distraction along the way.

It is in our tears, song, and words of gentleness to our brothers and sisters that Christ will find the most welcome home, will find just the place he would desire to recline at table.

Nach Baliye ('Nach' means Dance and 'Baliye' means partner or mate) is a dance, reality-television series on the Indian channel Star Plus. The show is a couples dancing contest. The first and second season aired on Star One and then shifted to Star Plus.

The show is a competition wherein 10 television celebrity couples compete against each other. Contestants dance to a different tune, different theme and different styles every week and scores are given by the judges. Each week one couple is eliminated based on public voting and their scores.

  • Sana Saeed’s fake boyfriend: Rumour has it that Sana’s boyfriend Dipesh was handpicked for her by the producers. Apparently, an audition was held to select the perfect partner for Sana – clearly that didn’t work in her favour at all.[1]
  • Shakti Arora forced to leave: The Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi actor was forced to leave NB7 mid way because his channel didn’t want him participating in a rival channel. The actor claimed that he has to leave the show due to personal problems but the truth is much farther than that.[2]
  • Rashami Desai’s fake injury: During the show all the couples are forced to stay in the villa. However, Rashami Desai faked an injury and went off to LA for a show. Unfortunately, Nakuul Mehta clicked a selfie and uploaded it on social networking sites creating uproar in the NB house. When she came back, the makers told her to accept the blame so that co-contestants don’t react much. However it seems that Rashami had apparently already taken permission from the channel. When Rashami got caught by her fellow contestants and judges, she finally opened about her failed marriage, miscarriage and what not to gain sympathy.[3]
  • Chetan Bhagat’s personal remarks: Ever since the news spread that the author was the one of the judges on the panel, everyone had just one common question, why? Bhagat’s remarks after every performance also irked contestants. Much later into the show, Nandish Sandhu made a comment, “I still don’t know what Chetan Bhagat is looking for in the show.” He offended Arpit Ranka by calling the couple a runaway duo, Upen Patel and Karishma Tanna were angry because he doubted their relationship.[4]
  • Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh’s untimely exit: Sangram is a national level wrestler, during the course of the show he was called to enrol in a national level wrestling competition and fill out some forms, but the makers of NB did not allow. Sangram was irked by the double standards of the producers. He then decided to get himself eliminated.[5]
  • Himmanshoo Malhotra and Amruta Khanvilkar cheating: Just one week before the finale, the finalists were given a number that they’d ask fans to vote for them. It seems the couple leaked the number much beforehand. Now there’s no real proof to this allegation, but Upen-Karishma’s fans strongly believe so.[6]
  • Karishma Tanna and Upen Patel cheating: During the Daily Punchnama episode it was revealed that Upen had his phone hidden this made stirs with other contestants. Later it was said that Karishma also helped him to do so.[7]
  • Karan and Rithvik’s statements and the impending case: Recently, Karan and Rithvik passed some objectionable comments on National heroes and the constitution. A freelance journalist filed a police complaint against the issue. Advocate Devendra Patil, however, took the case ahead in Mulund court. Rithvik and Karan are yet to respond to the case.[8]

  1. I inadvertently killed the Stone Worker before I talked to it to begin the test. Is there a way to do some kind of a reset so that I can interact with it, and thereby accomplish Malachite's second test? Thanks!
  2. I've just arrived at Shanker's Tower (Avernum 5) and the whole island is already mad at me. What did I do? How do I make them un-mad?
  3. Let's Play Avernum 5!

    My quest to do Let's Plays of all the Spiderweb games continues, as I move into Avernum 5. I hope those who choose to watch enjoy, and if you wish to catch up on previous vids you can see them here, here, here, and here.
  4. For some reason I cannot play Avernum 5 on Steam. It will tell me that it can only play in 16 bit at 1024 X 768 and to change it by right clicking on the desktop and selecting 'properties' which does not appear on my system (And the equivalent of it won't let me go to 16 bit manually). Then it says that it is recommended that I change it through the game. Which I can't actually do. The thing is both Avernum 4 and 6 work fine on Steam. Avernum 4 is set to auto change the resolution and Avernum 6 shows the change resolution menu before opening. Avernum 5 is doing neither. I will try reinstalling and see if there is any joy. If not is this happening to anyone else? Edit: No joy have a picture of message Edit 2: By changing compatibility mode on windows 7 I can enter the game but the screen is ridiculously small and the change resolution options are no help. Edit 3: Hmm I can enter the game now without the compatibility mode but the change resolution options are broken and with each exit it reverts to change on start up. Edit 4: Ok selecting 640 X 800 option make the game play nicely in full screen mode but the fact is the resolution options are not really working.

Thakoon for Target, Jeffrey Campbell and a Recycler

Bucket continues to get into everything.
Recently he discovered the recycle.
Despite attempts to block it with chairs,
He moves them or moves around them.
I guess it beats the trash.

DRESS - Thakoon for Target (thrifted)
BELT - Forever 21
BOOTIES - Jeffrey Campbell

ANIMAL PRINT BURGUNDY JEANS - Romeo and Juliet Couture
NECKLACE - Hand-me-down

Here are two outfits from the past week.  The first is a dress I found at GW.  I was so excited to find a Thakoon for Target piece, and although it's actually a size too big, I was able to belt it.  The second outfit is one I'm linking up to "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds.  The burgundy jeans I got at Loehmanns.  I also found those pink flatforms on clearance at H&M for $5!  The necklace I got during a swap from my friend, Fancy.

Bucket gets into Camo's recyle!!!

Bucket wears a lot of hand-me-downs, just like his mommy.  I gotta say, I love dressing both of us in second hand stuff.  Not only is it less expensive but it's also a great way to recycle!!!'

You are so lucky to find that Thakoon piece. I really regret not getting my hands on a few of those items when they were at Target. :)

I love the mix of black and white prints together in the first outfit. So brave and totally works.
The little man is adorable with the IPA bottle.
Thanks for the clarification on the party you went to. Wish it was Kika. :)

And thank you for the nice comments on Juliet's hair. I am still adjusting to it.
